There is a healthy mix of new books coming out this month. In total, there is fourteen main books that are set to be released. This could change as some books may change their release date as it comes to be. Some big names releasing books this month are Nora Roberts, James Patterson, and J.D. Robb. The first book post-Robert Ludlum is going to be released as they honor his memory and continue on with the Bourne series.
March 4th - "Red Lily" by Nora Roberts
A Harper has always lived at Harper House, the centuries-old mansion just outside of Memphis. And for as long as anyone alive remembers, the ghostly Harper Bride has walked the halls, singing lullabies at night
Hayley Phillips came to Memphis hoping for a new start, for herself and her unborn child. She wasn't looking for a handout from her distant cousin Roz, just a job at her thriving In the Garden nursery. What she found was a home surrounded by beauty and the best friends she's ever had—including Roz's son Harper. To Hayley's chagrin, she has begun to dream about Harper—as much more than a friend
If Hayley gives in to her desire, she's afraid the foundation she's built with Harper will come tumbling down. And that wouldn't be the only consequence, since her dreams are tangled up with Roz and the nursery. Hayley will have to put the past behind her to know her own heart again—and to decide whether she's willing to risk it
March 4th - "Thankless in Death" by J.D. Robb
Lieutenant Eve Dallas has plenty to be grateful for, especially Roarke's big Irish family, which is a joyful improvement on her own dark childhood.
Other couples aren't as lucky. The Reinholds, for example, are lying in their home stabbed and bludgeoned almost beyond recognition. Those who knew them are stunned—and heartbroken by the evidence that they were murdered by their own son.
Turns out that twenty-six-year-old Jerry is not only capable of brutality but has taking a liking to it. With the money he's stolen from his parents and a long list of grievances, he intends to finally make his mark on the world. Eve and her team already know the who, how, and why of this murder. What they need to pinpoint is where Jerry's going to strike next.
March 4th -"Crashed" by K. Bromberg
Life is full of moments.
Big moments.
Little moments.
And none of them are inconsequential.
Every single moment prepares you for that one instance that defines your life. You must overcome all your fears, confront the demons that chase you, and cleanse the poison that clings to your soul or you risk the chance of losing everything.
Mine started the minute Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet. She made me feel. Made me whole when all I thought I could ever be was incomplete. Became the lifeline I never knew I needed. Hell yes, she's worth the fight…but how do you fight for someone you know you don't deserve?
Love is full of ups and downs.
Heart stopping highs.
Soul shattering lows.
And none of them are insignificant.
Love is a racecourse of unexpected twists and turns that must be negotiated. You have to break down walls, learn to trust, and heal from your past in order to win. But sometimes it's the expected that's the hardest to hold on to.
Colton has healed and completed me, stolen my heart, and made me realize our love's not predictable nor perfect—it's bent. And bent's okay. But when outside factors put our relationship to the test, what lengths will I have to go to prove to him that he's worth the fight?
Whoever said love is patient and love is kind, never met the two of us. We know our love is worth it—have acknowledged that we were meant to be—but when our pasts crash into our future, will the repercussions make us stronger or break us apart?
March 4th - "Four Years Later" by Monica Murphy
Over. That about sums up everything in my life. Suspended from my college football team and forced to cut back my hours at The District bar because of my crappy grades, I can't keep turning to my sister, Fable, and her pro-football playing husband, Drew, to bail me out. I just can't seem to find my own way. Weed and sex are irresistible temptations—and it's messed up that I secretly hand over money to our junkie mom. A tutor is the last thing I want right now—until I get a look at her.
Chelsea is not my type at all. She's smart and totally shy. I'm pretty sure she's even a virgin. But when she gives me the once over with those piercing blue eyes, I'm really over. But in a different way. I won't deny her ass is killer, but it's her brain and the way she seems to crave love—like no one's ever given her any—that make me want her more than any girl I've ever met. But what would someone as seemingly together as her ever see in a screwed up guy like me?

March 25th - "Shadow Spell" by Nora Roberts

A circle that is about to be stretched out of shape—by a long-awaited kiss.
Meara Quinn is Branna's best friend, a sister in all but blood.

Plenty of women have found their way to Connor's bed, but none to his heart until now. Frustratingly, Meara is okay with just the heat, afraid to lose herself—and their friendship—to something more. But soon, Connor will see the full force and fury of what runs in his blood. And he will need his family and friends around him when his past rolls in like the fog, threatening an end to all he loves
March 25th - "Fly Away" by Kristin Hannah
Tully Hart has always been larger than life, a woman fueled by big dreams and driven by memories of a painful past. She thinks she can overcome anything until her best friend, Kate Ryan, dies. Tully tries to fulfill her deathbed promise to Kate—-to be there for Kate's children—-but Tully knows nothing about family or motherhood or taking care of people.
Sixteen-year-old Marah Ryan is devastated by her mother's death. Her father, Johnny, strives to hold the family together, but even with his best efforts, Marah becomes unreachable in her grief. Nothing and no one seems to matter to her . . . until she falls in love with a young man who makes her smile again and leads her into his dangerous, shadowy world.
Dorothy Hart—-the woman who once called herself Cloud—-is at the center of Tully's tragic past. She repeatedly abandoned her daughter, Tully, as a child, but now she comes back, drawn to her daughter's side at a time when Tully is most alone. At long last, Dorothy must face her darkest fear: Only by revealing the ugly secrets of her past can she hope to become the mother her daughter needs.
A single, tragic choice and a middle-of-the-night phone call will bring these women together and set them on a poignant, powerful journey of redemption. Each has lost her way, and they will need each one another—-and maybe a miracle—-to transform their lives.
March 25th - "The Forgotten Girl" by Jessica Sorensen
Twenty-three year-old Maddie Asherford is haunted by a past she can't remember. When she was fifteen years old, there was a tragic accident and she was left with amnesia.
In the aftermath, Maddie's left struggling with who she is—the forgotten girl she was eight years ago or the Maddie she is now. Sometimes it even feels like she might be two different people completely—the good Maddie and the bad one.
Good Maddie goes to therapy, spends time with her family, and works on healing herself. Bad Maddie rebels and has dark thoughts of hurting people and sometimes even killing them.
Maddie manages to keep her twisted thoughts hidden for the most part. That is until she starts having blackouts. Each time she wakes up from one, she's near a murder scene with no recollection of what happened the night before and this helpless feeling like she's losing control of her life. Maddie doesn't want to believe she's a killer, but she begins to question who she really was in her past. If she was bad Maddie all along and that maybe she was a killer.
March 25th - "Twisted" by Emma Chase
Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard. In this heart-pounding follow-up to Tangled by New York Times bestseller Emma Chase, Kate reveals that there is trouble in paradise, when unexpected circumstances force her and Drew to "renegotiate" their relationship.
There are two kinds of people in the world. The ones who look first, and the ones who leap. I've always been more of a looker. Cautious. A planner. That changed after I met Drew Evans. He was so persistent. So sure of himself—and of me.
But not all love stories end happily ever after. Did you think Drew and I were going to ride off into the sunset? Join the club. Now I have to make a choice; the most important of my life. Drew already made his—in fact, he tried to decide for the both of us. But you know that's just not my style. So I came back to Greenville, Ohio, alone. Well, sort of alone...
What I've come to realize is that old habits die hard, and sometimes you have to go back to where you began before you can move ahead.

A Patrick born in March?
My due date is March 19th. Patrick is one of the few boy names my husband and I both like and it works well with the middle name we've picked (Allen, a family name). Would it be a terrible thing to name our boy Patrick when he will be born so close, possibly even on, St. Patrick's Day? (We have only the tiniest bit of Irish blood.)
concerned mom
If you like the name, choose it. I wldn't worry about the date so much. I think it's more likely that a kid wld get made fun of for his particular name, not for when he was given that name. Patrick is a fairly common boys name, so I wldn't be concerned about it. Just think how many parents name their December baby girls Noelle or Holly.

National Post ·
This is what starting over looks like: 23 consecutive sections of bright blue seats in the upper deck, as empty as a cloudless sky. This is what starting over looks like: Fewer than 10 of the 95 available luxury boxes with the moneyed class in them. This is what starting over feels like: Lonely. Or at least, intimate.
The Toronto Blue Jays might have a better record than the Boston Red Sox -- they're still behind the Yankees and the Rays, but you can't have everything -- but who would know it? Average paid attendance is 16,270, second-worst in the majors, ahead of Cleveland. There are similar problems elsewhere in baseball, but at just 32.2% of capacity, the Jays rank dead last.
Yesterday, the number was 15,577, thanks to several thousand children, here on School Day. They overran the Rogers Centre, hooting as they charged down empty ramps, taking pictures of themselves in front of empty Bud Light stands, eating ice cream out of plastic batting helmets. It was nice; it made it feel like something was happening. Take away the kids, though, and it's like the air stops moving in here.
"I just wish the crowds would come back," said one stadium employee. "They're announcing 10,000; I don't think there were 3,000 a couple of those times."
Discardthehomeopenerand the average crowd is 12,909; the first nine dates after last year's opener averaged 15,605. It will probably get better once the Yankees and Red Sox come to town, and when the Jays aren't competing with the NHL and NBA playoffs every night, and when it warms up and the dome can be open every day.
But then, bad attendance can be a self-fulfilling prophecy; the fewer people go, the more depressing the atmosphere; the more depressing the atmosphere, the fewer people who want to go. Eventually you're the only one at the bar, sipping a warm beer as the music echoes off the walls.
"That's the million-dollar question that everyone is asking," reliever Scott Downs said. "Where are the fans?"
It's not like it began this season; last year, when Roy Halladay took the mound in September to face a Twins team that featured eventual MVP Joe Mauer and Canadian star Justin Morneau, the paid attendance was announced at 11,159; the next night, it was 11,461. The arrogant reign of J.P. Ricciardi and the perennial absence of hope have damaged this franchise, and there's no arguing the point.
Still, no matter what some lazy and overexposed hack from a Chicago paper might scribble -- that Major League Baseball should get the Jays "out of Canada" -- or whatever facile and strained comparisons are made by certain corners of the media at large, the Blue Jays are not the Expos. Please, people.
The Expos were an orphaned team in a smaller town who didn't own their own building and who were treated like a cashbox by Claude Brochu, and then hollowed out by a charlatan named Jeffrey Loria who, when he finally made his escape to Florida, took everything that wasn't bolted to the floor, up to and including a cardboard cutout of Vladimir Guererro.
Whatever your feeling about the people at Rogers Communications, they are not rolling up the carpets anytime soon. In fact, Rogers is said to be sanguine about the whole situation, and has agreed to every request for money to pursue players.
No, Rogers, apparently, would prefer to lose some money by paying players than to be embarrassed. And it's not the team that is embarrassing -- this is a likeable blend of youth and placeholders, and though you never want John McDonald to be the guy at the plate when you're trailing by a run and down to your last out, it's hard to be dispirited about how they've played thus far.
No, it's the empty seats that are making it easy to bash the franchise, whether it's headed in the right direction or not. But again, it's nothing like Montreal. By the end the Expos crowds were a skeleton crew, banging the hard plastic empty seats next to them in order to amplify the crowd noise. The symbolism was rich.
The concessions were all shut down above the 100 level at Olympic Stadium, and the vast majority of the place was a ghost town, filled with folded-up tables and old signage and boxed-away memories gathering dust. Under the vast blue aquatic roof of the Big O it was an underwater tomb, and baseball was being buried in it.
Here, those outer sections on the 500 level are sensibly roped off, along with the attendant concessions and bathrooms. But there is no plan to cut back further on concession workers, on ushers, on security, on the whole great machine that services the Rogers Centre for every game. They're still running the business here, and it's ready for the fans to return.
And so they wait. We all wait. Everyone says it will change when they win again, and they're probably right. All the little things--the in-game promotions, the ritual pieces, the experience of a day at the ballpark -- they aren't why people come. Most people, anyway.
"We're not going to do it with bobbleheads; we're not going to do it with a guy doing the wave," said Jays CEO Paul Beeston. "We're going to do it with 25 guys out on the field that can come up with 95 wins. That's it."
This is what starting over looks like. It's hard.

College Hockey:North Dakota Sweeps Michigan Tech
Sioux Penalty Killers Frustrate Huskies' Power Play
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Asked if he remembered the last time North Dakota swept a WCHA team at home during the regular season, Fighting Sioux assistant captain Taylor Chorney had to think long and hard; he couldn't remember.
"Jeez, it must go way back," the junior defenseman finally said.
UND's 4-1 victory over visiting Michigan Tech gave Sioux fans an opportunity to break out the brooms and enabled UND players to do something they hadn't done this season after a two-game series: a center ice stick salute.
"It was the 11th straight sell-out, and these people have been here night in and night out," Sioux coach Dave Hakstol said of the Sioux fans, who gave their team a standing ovation at game's end. "It took a long time, but I don't care what time of year it is, it's always fun to see. Not a lot of people left. Everybody waited for it."
For the record, the last time the Sioux swept at Ralph Engelstad Arena during the regular season was Oct. 7, 2006, in their home-opener against Quinnipiac. The last time they swept a WCHA opponent at home in the regular season was March 4, 2006, Chorney's freshman year.
More importantly, the sweep means that UND remains alone in third place in the WCHA. The sweep also gives the Sioux their first three-game winning streak of the season.
"We didn't talk about a sweep today," Hakstol said. "We talked about trying to control our own destiny. We came into the weekend in sole possession of third and we wanted to make sure we came out of the weekend in sole possession of third, regardless of what anyone else does. That's what we tried to focus on."
UND's penalty kill played a key role in the sweep. MTU's power play went 0-10 on the weekend and the Huskies generated a mere four shots with the man advantage over two games.
"Their forecheck was outstanding," said Huskies' coach Jamie Russell. "They disrupted what we normally do. They didn't let us get set up. When we did get set up, they took away a lot of our options. I thought their penalty kill was the best we've seen in the country all year."
Chorney and senior forward Kyle Radke, two Sioux players who've struggled throughout the season, saw their fortunes change. Chorney scored a power play goal in each game, his first goals of the season.
Radke scored his first goal of the season and UND's first goal of the game when he beat Huskies' goalie Rob Nolan on a wraparound at 7:21 of the first period.
"For myself and the team, it's nice to get the monkey off the back, getting the first sweep and first goal of the season, finally," Radke said.
Sophomore defenseman Chay Genoway put UND up 2-0 at the 14:11 mark of the first period when he went coast to coast and beat Nolan with a wrist shot from the slot. Sioux goalie Jean-Philippe Lamoureux had the lone assist on the play.
"That play itself was obviously a good individual effort by Chay to beat their first guy," Hakstol said of the game-winning goal. "By beating that first guy, that just opens up a little bit of space going into the zone. Chay just took what was there. You put it on net and good things happen."
In the second period, a turnover in the Huskies' zone resulted in a Sioux goal and a 3-0 lead at the 15:04 mark. Freshman forward Evan Trupp scooped up the loose puck and spotted center Chris VandeVelde alone in the right circle. He one-timed Trupp's cross-ice pass to beat Nolan cleanly.
The third period couldn't have started any better for the Huskies. After killing a Sioux power play, sophomore defenseman Drew Dobson's wrist shot through traffic beat Lamoureux and made it a 3-1 game at 2:49. MTU then went on the power play, but once again, the Sioux penalty killers got the job done.
In their past two series against New Hampshire and St. Cloud State, UND saw two-goal leads evaporate in the third period, but that wouldn't be the case this time.
"When New Hampshire scored against us, you looked down the bench and guys put their heads down and got deflated," Chorney said. "But we've learned from that. In those situations, you've got to come together, tighten up and rally, make smarter plays and not try to do too much with the puck. Just keep it simple."
The Sioux netted their second power-play goal of the game at 9:28 when Chorney blasted a slapper from the slot off a pass from behind the net by T.J. Oshie. The goal restored UND's three-goal lead and crushed MTU's momentum.
"I thought we held it together pretty well," Hakstol said when it looked as if the Sioux could be headed for another disappointing third period. "We came back, earned a power play and made a good play to regain the three-goal lead. I don't think anybody tightened up on the bench."
Russell gave his team credit for playing better than it did Friday.
"I thought we came out and competed harder than we did last night," he said. "We didn't get too many loose pucks last night. We battled and we competed. We had a couple of big turnovers that cost us."
In the end, the Huskies lost by an identical 4-1 score.
"Every weekend, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, you've got to take out the positives, put it behind you, go on and work hard," Nolan said. "We're going to put this one behind us, take the good things and move forward."
UND improves to 12-8-1 overall and is 9-7-0 in the WCHA. The Sioux are on the road next for a two-game series Jan. 18-19 at Minnesota State. MTU, 9-11-2 overall and 5-8-1 in league play, is off next weekend. The Huskies next series is at home against Colorado College Jan. 25-26.

At the time of the error you can try removing - reinserting the Sims disc. That will sometimes get it going again.
Another option is to go into the "Device Manager" and remove \ uninstall \ delete the DVD drive. On the Device Manager menu there's an "Action" button \ detect hardware changes, to essentially detect and reinstall the DVD drivers.

Much more than a summary, the Epilogue deepens understanding of what has been learned and provides a peek into more advanced methods. Users will find use of software packages, specifically MATLAB and Excel with VBA. This includes material on developing MATLAB m-files and VBA macros. Also, many, many more challenging problems are included. The expanded breadth of engineering disciplines covered is especially evident in the problems, which now cover such areas as biotechnology and biomedical engineering.

Recognizing the numerous cost-saving and environmental benefits, Staten Island Ferry has announced that it will convert one ferry to operate on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). According to the Staten Island Advance, the conversion could save the city of New York, "nearly half the boat's fueling cost annually" without negatively affecting performance or service to passengers.
According to the Advance, the savings are significant:
"Since the ferries run continuously, a rough estimate comes to just under $6 million to fuel the boats each year. So if the pilot is successful, the chosen boat could cut approximately $3 million annually from its fuel costs using LNG."
Using more natural gas to power our transportation future is yielding significant savings for cities and states across the nation. Whether its small vehicle pool, large public transportation fleets or ferry boats, our domestic abundance of affordable natural gas is putting our nation on the road – and underway – to a cleaner transportation future.

When we told our husband we wanted a robe as part of our Christmas Eve pajama set, we could see his palpable disinterest in buying us yet another fluffy yeti-inspired bathrobe (we might have worn out our acceptance of robes by wearing it straight from December through April...). However, we're certain he can't object to this adorable Green Pink Thai Kimono ($26). We want to pinch our own butt when we wear it. And that's a pretty good sign.

I've been looking into getting a knife for utility use as well as possible last minute self defense. I work in a studio a lot so cutting crap open and tailoring it is a big deal for me, but I also work all over the Seattle area which isn't exactly warm and cozy at night. I've thought about it, checked some knives out, tried to understand the laws, and I'm still uncertain if the knife I would like to carry would be legal (concealed or clipped to my belt). The knife I'm fairly fixed on is the cold steel counter tac 2. Counter Tac : Tactical Knives (Fixed Blades)
It fits under the 3 1/2" limit, has a small hand guard to make it safer to hold as well as use, and I've always been impressed with cold steel's products. Is this legal to carry on my person? Concealed/clipped to my belt? And what counts as concealed?

NIU promotes Garrett Biller and Mike Boland while adding Nick Stirrett to the staff
GoPro Camera mounted in net at the NIU men's soccer exhibition.
Nick Stirrett joins the Northern Illinois men's soccer staff as a volunteer assistant coach after spending the previous two seasons on the soccer staff at DePauw University. Stirrett began his coaching career at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in 2006, spending two seasons with the Engineers. Stirrett served as an assistant coach and goalkeepers coach with both the men's and women's soccer programs, helping both teams earn regional rankings in his first season while mentoring goalkeeper Trey Buck to first team all-region honors. In 2008, Stirrett moved on to DePauw University, where he worked with goalkeepers for both the men's and women's soccer programs for one season, helping men's goalkeeper Ted Jacobi earn conference defensive player of the year honors. Stirrett took over as the head coach at the African Leadership Academy in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2009. After one season in South Africa, Stirrett returned to DePauw as an assistant coach in 2010. During his second stint with the Tigers, Stirrett helped the DePauw men's program finish the 2010 season ranked 11th in the nation in Division III. Stirrett mentored Nathan Sprenkel, a two-time conference defensive player of the year, two-time all-conference goalkeeper and a 2011 second team All-American. Sprenkel currently plays professionally with the Antigua Barracudas of the United Soccer League. DePauw set a school record with a 16-3-1 record in 2011, winning the North Coast Athletic Conference championship, an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and finishing ranked 24th in the nation. In addition to his work at DePauw, Stirrett was also the Indiana Olympic Development Program Director of Boy's Goalkeeping and an assistant girl's goalkeeping coach as well as the goalkeeping coach for Dynamo FC in Indianapolis. As a player, Stirrett played three seasons at Augustana College, graduating in 2006. Stirrett also earned his master's degree from Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2008. Stirrett holds United States Soccer Federation National "D" and "Y" Coaching Licenses.

|This study examines the role of occupational status in the racialization of Indian physicians in Southern California. Since the liberalization of U.S. immigration policy in 1965, the number of first and second-generation Indian doctors in the U.S. has grown to nearly seven percent of the nation's physician workforce; however, Indians constitute less than one percent of the total U.S. population. Overrepresented in one of America's most prestigious professions, Indians are more visible in U.S. medicine than in the U.S. at large.; Previous scholarship in immigration research, Asian American Studies, and the sociology of occupations has paid little attention to these professional non-white immigrants and their racial experience in the U.S. Asian American Studies in particular has focused primarily on the racial-ethnic identity formation of economically disadvantaged non-white groups, under the assumption that professional Asian Americans' class status and occupations in the sciences effectively shield them from racist harm and preclude their engagement in racial politics.; This research shows that Indian doctors' high occupational status and class privilege provide them only partial, situational protection from racism. They have what I call occupational citizenship --access to most of the same rights and privileges as whites only when perceived as being both professionally successful and economically beneficial to the U.S. They are clearly marked as occupational citizens during clinical interactions with patients, when they are in the white coat. But outside of this context, they are subject to racist treatment from colleagues, staff, health care institutions, and the general public. The particular forms of racism these doctors face, as well as how they interpret this racism, have as much to do with their gender, immigrant generation, and perception of others' race and class, as with their own professional class status.; These findings are based on fifty-two interviews with first and second generation Indian doctors in Southern California as well as participant observation at the monthly meetings of two regional Indian medical associations. I also observed seven Indian doctors at work, noting their interactions with patients, staff, and colleagues. Southern California represents an ideal case for understanding the racial formation of Indian physicians in the U.S. because of its large but dispersed population of established Indian physicians, and its overall diversity of race, ethnicity, and class.

Lessons Learned
Saturday, March 17, 2007
I learned a very important few lessons this week....
First, that all is never lost in this journey toward health and weight loss. I had a weekend home with family that foundme over indulging in things that I knew would cause me to see the scales move in the wrong direction. I knew what I was doing and chose to do them anyway. I accepted that and remained accountable to myself so the movement of the scales upward instead of downward was not a surprise and something I took full responsibility for it.
But, knowing what I had done, I chose to get back on the wagon, eat right, exercise, make sure to get my fruits and veggies, fiber, protein, carbs (for energy), and all the other nutrients I need everyday. I also made exercise a bigger priority than I have in recent days (weeks?).
By Friday, the regular weigh in day for me, I stepped on the scales expecting a slight rise from last week...but that is NOT what I saw. I had managed to maintain my weight at exactly what it was last week. A week of maintenece...and that thrilled me beyond belief!
I know that I can't go hog wild every weekend but I learned a valuable lesson this past week. If I do go home to see family and choose to indulge, I can rectify it by not calling the week a total waste and continuing on that path....I can get back to "work" at it hard and heavy and counteract much of that decadence with eating right and some hard work in the exercise area.
All is NEVER lost...even if I had shown a gain, I can choose to continue on, work hard, take care of me and my body, and work toward my goals of health, fitness and weigh loss. THAT is the route to success.
Another lesson I've learned is that we can't be all things to all people...and some people are not what they at first appear. There are those that truly love and care for us just as we are, imperfections and all; and there are those who have some set of ideals of what you need to live up to in order to be their friend. And when you don't live up to those preconceived notions of what they want or expect from you, when you make a mistake then you are no longer worthy of being their friend.
Those are not the kind of friends I need. I can be the most supportive and kind woman there is...all I ask in return is give to me in return the same kind of support that I give to you. True friendship is a give and take, a place where you know you can be yourself without fear of judgment ...and not a place for being kicked when you're already down, harsh judgments and just being made to feel as though you are not living up to the other persons preconceived ideals of what you SHOULD be.
I learned this week that I do NOT need that kind of negativity or being attacked in my life. I need to surround myself with those who truly care about me and not about projecting their own agendas into my life...people I care about and feel good supporting and cheering on when they have accomplished something great, and being a shoulder to lean on when things aren't going so great.
THAT is what real, true friendship is about.
I am thankful to have that here in the form of two of my best girlies.
Thank you Nadine & Robin. You two are my rocks when I need somewhere to lean....and you both know that I will be yours when you need it, too.
All of life is a learning experience...and I am so happy to be learning so many great lessons everyday, as I grow healthier in body and mind.

Um, I looked for this a few days ago & it wasn't there! I DID I DID I REALLY REALLY DID! LOL
I'm loving this attitude. I've had more than a few of those overindulgence weekends. If you enjoyed it, then it was worth it. And you got it out of your system. Knowing that we can have those times occasionally, and not letting it sabotage us, but moving on & staying on track, is what will get you to where you want to be!
And, for as long as you want & need me to be here, I will be!

I love your attitude. You are very insightful. Getting up and dusting yourself off is the most important part of this lifestyle. We're never perfect at it. The most important thing is to keep your eye on the prize: good health and well-being with a gorgeous bod! Much success to you. Mary

According to an American aphorist, Mason Cooly, "Good parties create youthfulness." If this is true, then it must be true about Bergman's Sixth Annual Valentine Romance Oscar Style Lounge and Party. The exclusive occasion was held at the awe-inspiring West Hollywood restaurant, Fig & Olive, on Thursday, February 13, 2014. This was a indeed a good party.
Included in this event were many former and current Oscar nominees and winners as well as other industry celebrities. The party was a phenomenal way to kick off the Oscar season. The event was outfitted with fantastic items and exceptional brands.
Focused on a good cause, the party was used as a venue to promote the non-profit Wednesday's Child. The charity was on-site collecting new or slightly worn suits, dresses, shoes, pants, accessories, etc. for a Valentine's Day gift drive. Each item was to be donated to teens in foster care.
This invite-only event was hosted by Begley's & Bill's 100% All Natural Sodas and presented by Whitening Lightning & Nature's Flavors. These brands' efforts were an immense success because the entire event was filled with incredible stars and incredible products.
There were plenty of Hollywood veterans attending including Angela Bassett and William Shatner. Dynamic comedy duo Cheech and Chong as well as many couples made an appearance, including Carla & Lou Ferrigno, Dot Marie Jones (Glee) and wife Bridgett Casteen Jones. Many stars from some of today's hottest media attended as well. They included, Kate Flannery from The Office, Tommy Lee Davidson, John Savage, Nicholas Guest, and Patrick Gallagher. These are just a few examples of the packed venue that evening.*
The event was also packed in fantastic products for health, beauty, and fashion. Gifts and services were provided by Begley's & Bill's 100% Natural Sodas, Whitening Lightning, Nature's Flavors, Ooh La Bra, Silvana K Designs, Handmade Hearts by Hillel, PK's Chocolates, Poof, Simply Eartha, Dr. Ava Cadell, the "Love Doctor," Baron Hats. Monatelier, Waraire Boswell Executive Men's Clothiers, Platinum Image Services, MiA Bath & Body, Timmy Woods, "Serenade" by Virtuoso Violinist, Daniel D, Art By Dano, Slash Salon, SudzzFx, La Curcio Skin Care Collection, My Saint, My Hero, GUESS, Twisted Silver, Perch, Lusciouss by Kendra Bridelle, Gilbert Albert, Honest Tea, Spongelle, Single Dress, Single Underwear, Tequila Azul Imperial, Veved Ice Vodka,
The event was an absolute highlight of the season. It is no wonder they keep it invite only—it would be packed! I very much look forward to attending next year so I can once again thoroughly enjoy myself and cover a absolutely exciting occasion.
* Additional guests include:
Former Oscar Nominee Angela Bassett (and her handsome husband Courtney B. Vance) joined Former Oscar Winner Louis Gossett, Jr., Oscar Nominee Robin Mathews (Make-up Artist for "Dallas Buyers Club"), Cheech & Chong, Elizabeth & William Shatner, Carla & Lou Ferrigno, Dot Marie Jones ("Glee") and wife Bridgett Casteen Jones, Tia Carrere, Maria Conchita Alonso, Kevin Farley, Chelsie Hightower ("Dancing With The Stars"), Kate Flannery ("The Office"), Illeana Douglas, Eva LaRue, Tommy Lee Davidson, Richard Brooks & Lisa Vidal ("Being Mary Jane"), John Savage, Charlie Bewley, Jaclyn Betham & Peter Parros ("The Haves & Have Nots"), Jeremy Luke ("MOB City"), Katie Wagner, Obba Babbatunde, Nicholas Guest ("Sons of Anarchy"), Sofia Milos, Adrienne Janic ("Fit, Famous & Fabulous"), Kellita Smith "The First Family"), Kevin Farley, Patrick Gallagher ("Glee"), Will Rathaar ("Killing Kennedy"), Valery Ortiz ("Hit The Floor").

Inter-estingly,nfor some parameters, the replicator dynamics is character-izednby cycles. Thus, we may see cycles of doping and clean sport,nand cycles of fraudulent and honest accounting. Moreover, in somencases, high ability players are more likely to commit fraud than lownability types.

How to politely turn down an invitationPosted on 03/23/12, 10:13 am
As I mentioned yesterday some people at work want me to go out for drinks. This is pretty much my nightmare and I don't know what to say to them. I have spent the morning dreading it and panicking. They are nice people but I hate pubs and don't drink much and am not very good at small talk and get very overwhelmed by the whole thing. How do I get out of it?
Reply #1 03/23/12 1:05pm
Lizzie, this is not easy. I have always had a hard time with this type of situation. Can you set a limit on the time? Maybe one hour & then you have to be somewhere else. I hope other members come up with some better ideas. I think we could all use some help with this.
Reply #2 03/23/12 5:09pm
I would just say that you don't drink or say you are just too tired to go out. Good luck!
Reply #3 03/23/12 10:01pm
Could you say that you are trying to deal with some personal issues and it's just not a good time right now. Then let them know that you appreciate their friendship.
Reply #4 03/24/12 8:24am
Oh boy, I've struggled with this over the years and have finally figured out what works for me thanks to the following quote: "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
― Bernard Baruch
My colleagues are like my family and I had to tell them my truth about Happy Hour and spur of the moment after work invitations. When asked, I just tell them it just isn't my scene and I can't wait to go home to recoup from the long work day. I've been teased a little, but I just laugh with them and am happy that I won't be uncomfortable later. It works for me and people that matter respect it and don't ask anymore.
Reply #5 03/25/12 10:16am
I struggle on this too. What helps me is to decline just as you write in the post title-Politely. I will say Thank you very much but I just am not into pubs or drinking and I appreciate your asking me
OR will say thanks very much for asking but I don't really feel like going
OR as mentioned above, say it's not a good time for me
or I am tired and do not feel like it
or say well I don't really care for pubs or drinking, perhaps we can do something else that you all like too? Like going out to lunch
and then I would say thank you very much for the invite
It has become easier in many ways for me to do this, I just try to be as appreciative as possible and just say that I am not feeling into the event or going
Wishing you luck with this!
Reply #6 03/26/12 5:42pm
I would just tell them. "Nothing personal, but pubs aren't my thing. But thanks for the invitation."
Be honest and straight forward.
More than likely they will take it on face value and not think twice about it.
Reply #7 03/26/12 8:57pm
If you don't tell the truth right away you will just keep getting invations. I agree with Zakki, the people that matter won't care.
Reply #8 03/27/12 9:00am
There's some great advice here. Good to remember.
Reply #9 03/27/12 1:54pm
After re reading this I agree with Zakki-and samrynr you are so right, if we don't tell the truth then we will keep getting invitations. Kluu said it well too
I am going to take that advice too regarding invitations
Reply #10 03/28/12 6:53pm
A few things I have done is to wait until right before the event and let them know something's come up. (it will be true, your anxiety has come up!) : )
Or go to the event and have a friend call you 15 minutes after you arrive and leave the room to talk and then go back and say "a friend needs me." Then go home and call a friend who is in need, so you won't have the guilt, that way. Sometimes just making an appearance satisfies the group and then you are off the hook in the future.
But generally I'd just tell them "I'm not into pubs" unless I'd told them that 10 times already and I was the only one on the outs, then I'd try one of the above.

Disease Proof
Vitamin D may protect against colon cancer
Vitamin D insufficiency is widespread, and is thought to contribute to a variety of disease states, including osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, depression, and cancers.
Vitamin D affects calcium absorption and metabolism in the bone, kidney, and intestine, but it also acts as a regulator of gene transcription in many tissues, affecting genes that control cell growth, adhesion, differentiation, proliferation, and programmed cell death. Vitamin D's action on such genes has been shown to suppress proliferation of human colon cancer cells and tumor growth.1,2
Also, the cells of the colon, whether they are normal or cancerous, are capable of converting 25(OH)D to its active form 1,25(OH)2D. It is likely that this ability has purpose – vitamin D may have yet unidentified actions specific to the cells of the colon.
Researchers analyzed data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, which has over 520,000 participants. Blood levels of vitamin D, which were measured at the start of the study, were compared between 1248 colorectal cancer patients and matched controls after diagnosis.
Circulating 25(OH)D levels of below 20 ng/ml were associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer compared with levels between 20-30 ng/ml. When the researchers arranged the data into 5 quintiles of Vitamin D levels, they found a dose-dependent reduction in colon cancer risk; highest quintile (greater than 40 ng/ml) had 40% reduced risk compared to lowest quintile (less than 10 ng/ml). When cancers were distinguished by site, the association between Vitamin D levels and colon cancer was even stronger – the highest quintile showed a 60% risk reduction.3
This large study followed up at least 25 previous studies since 2002. A 2009 review of these previous studies confirmed that there is indeed an inverse relationship between vitamin D levels and colorectal cancer. Even after a diagnosis of colon cancer, vitamin D levels are associated with increased survival – in colon cancer patients, higher vitamin D levels were predictive of a decreased risk of death from any cause, not only colon cancer.4
The 2009 review concluded that 25(OH)D levels of 32 ng/ml would be sufficient to achieve the protection against colorectal cancers seen in the literature, and the most recent study cited saw benefits with as low as 20 ng/ml. A minimum of 30 ng/ml 25(OH)D is thought to be required for vitamin D to properly exert its many beneficial effects.5 Accordingly, I recommend that levels be maintained in the range of 35-55 ng/ml.
About 50% of the U.S. population is deficient in vitamin D and cannot rely on sun exposure because of indoor jobs, skin color, and their climate. Plus, with the depletion of the ozone layer, the amount of sun most people would require to achieve these levels may result in too much skin damage and skin cancer.6

Assuming one were to get the appropriate amount of Vitamin D from the sun, how long would one need to stay outside (with sunblock on)? I have your vitamin D supplement, but I haven't been taking it lately because I'm spending a lot of time outside now that the weather's nice. Should I still take it anyway?
You "recommend that levels be maintained in the range of 35-55 ng/ml." I currently take 1,200 IU daily of Vitamin D3. How much is 35-55 ng/ml in comparison? Thanks
I am not sure exactly because I do not know enough about you. The amount of sunshine needed to obtain adequate Vitamin D is very variable based on skin color, genetics, latitude, time of day, sunscreen use, how much skin is exposed, and how soon the skin is washed after exposure. Studies indicate that the variance is so wide, that for most Americans that work indoors during the day, sunshine cannot be depended on to repair the epidemic of deficiencies in America. However, whether you are using sunshine or supplements or some combination, the most important thing is to confirm adequacy with a blood test, because the risk of deficiency is too large to ignore.
To achieve the 35 – 55 ng/ml range (used in the US) most people need to take between 1500 – 2500 IU of Vitamin D. So you might need a little more if you are not getting any sun.
I received this article from my "Living the CR Way" contacts. Remember though, the dose makes the poison. And Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, meaning more persistent than a water soluble vitamin. It's a mouse experiment written in typical gobbledygook. But figured what it said in plain english is that some genetically modified mice got a tad too much vitamin D and exhibted an appearance (why just say appearance instead of phenotype??) of premature aging. Tons of caveats I'm sure such as it's a mouse study not a human one, etc... Fair enough. Point is that it's a fat soluble vitamin that we are usually on the low end of. Don't over do it though. We're not sure of what the risks are on the other side.
Is Vitamin D making you age faster?
Thinking about how much vitamin D to take? This provocative study from Harvard dental school showed that Vitamin D under certain circumstances might cause accelerated aging:
Trends in Molecular Medicine. 2006 Jul;12(7):298-305.
Hypervitaminosis D and premature aging: lessons learned from Fgf23 and Klotho mutant mice.
Razzaque MS, Lanske B.
Department of Developmental Biology, Harvard School of Dental Medicine,
The essential role of low levels of vitamin D during aging is well documented. However, possible effects of high levels of vitamin D on the aging process are not yet clear. Recent in vivo genetic-manipulation studies have shown increased serum level of vitamin D and altered mineral-ion homeostasis in mice that lack either fibroblast growth factor 23 (Fgf23) or klotho (Kl) genes. These mice develop identical phenotypes consistent with premature aging. Elimination or reduction of vitamin-D activity from Fgf23 and Kl mutant mice, either by dietary restriction or genetic manipulation could rescue premature aging-like features and ectopic calcifications, resulting in prolonged survival of both mutants. Such in vivo experimental studies indicated that excessive vitamin-D activity and altered mineral-ion homeostasis could accelerate the aging process.
However, studies looking at vitamin D and prostate or breast cancer incidence have shown the vitamin to have a protective effect.
When evaluating studies like these, we look at the actions of vitamin D at the molecular level and compare them to calorie restriction, the gold standard for slowing aging and protecting against cancer.
We will be discussing this study at the upcoming New York Chapter of the CR Society Intl.. The meeting is free and open to everyone:

On Thursday the 22th of May in 2014, AIABaltimore hosted an exclusive get-together for their ongoing series of Firm Happy Hours at the historic Peale Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. It was the biggest architectural community tour gathering in downtown Baltimore. Who knew one establishment could hold over 100 architectural professionals and students in one building. The Baltimore Chapter of The American Institute of Architects is a one stop shop for everything that promotes the artistic, best ethical standards and scientific practices of the architectural profession in Baltimore.
Did you know? The Peale Museum in Baltimore was commissioned by Rembrandt Peale and designed by Robert Carey Long, built in 1814 as the first structure in the U.S. made specifically as a public museum.
The celebrations took place from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. serving heavy appetizers, wine and brew. The specialty boneless chicken wings was flowing from every corner of the building; the appetizers range from spicy chicken to tomato bagel chips and the signature drink for the evening was fancy fancy wine which was memorable. The coolest part of it all was the guided tour of the Peale Museum and the informative session that discussed the preservation plans for this historic building. During the celebration attendees were allowed to take personal tours as well mix and mingle with the Greater Baltimore architectural community. Oh, did I mention the outdoor sculpture garden at the Peale Museum is truly amazing such a hidden urban oasis. There are so many different floors and rooms to explore at the Peale Museum and its unbelievable how strong the structure of American's oldest museum stands. You should be excited bout the grand re-opening of the Peale in Baltimore, Maryland.
Did you know? The immediate goal of the Peale Center is to restore the Peale Museum building, 225 North Holliday Street, by September 2014, the museum's bicentennial.

From Show Floors and Beyond
Koneta Inc. introduced a new mud flap that captures and drains water. The Spraydown System reduces splash and spray dramatically, so other drivers can see your vehicle better. Because air flows through the flaps, aerodynamics improve fuel economy up to 3.8% at highway y speeds. Photos: Koneta Inc.
Ford's Transit Connect, a European van now entering the U.S. market, carries 1600 pounds or up to 135 cubic feet of cargo. The company's new Work Solutions package with Crew Chief and Tool Link (van only) is optional. Photo: Ford Motor Co.
Safety and security. In today's economy, theft is an increasing problem for all fleets. Some of the highest value targets are wheel and tire assemblies and catalytic converters with their precious metal cores. And when prices rise, fuel seems to disappear from unprotected tanks. TruckProtect Ltd.'s NECK-IT! securely fits into most fuel tanks. It has multiple holes that allow 25 gallons/minute fuel flow. No hole is larger than ¼-inch diameter so siphon hoses can't be used.
Plus, the company's WheelStop-It! makes cylindrical lug nuts. Wrenches can't turn them. They're driven by a hex pattern tool with up to seven randomly spaced drive pins.
Jam-JC Innovative Products' Cat-Clamp protects catalytic converters with a cage around the converter. Its alloy assemblies clamp around inlet and outlet pipes, holding multiple cables surrounding the converter. The cables are highly resistant to reciprocating saws or bolt cutters.
Safety is increased if others see you better. Koneta Inc. introduced the Spray-down System mud flap that reduces splash and spray dramatically, improving other drivers' ability to see your vehicle and for you to see behind your vehicle in bad weather.
Material handling. Ford has taken advantage of every show this year to promote the Transit Connect, a European small van now developed for the American market. Only 180.6 inches long but almost 80 inches tall, the Transit Connect carries 1,600 pounds or up to 135 cubic feet of cargo. It comes as a two-person cargo van or a five-person wagon. The load floor is less than 2 feet off the ground.
Lighting. At the Mid-America Trucking Show, Truck-Lite Co. Inc. introduced a 12 V version of the light-emitting diode (LED) 7-inch round headlights, used on Army and Marine combat vehicles. The polycarbonate housing and lens is 30 times more impact-resistant than glass, and the beam pattern is greatly improved. LED headlights are rated for 10,000 hours, compared to less than 500 hours for normal lamps.
Grote Industries introduced Light-Form technology, an innovative approach to LED safety lighting. Tiny, bright LEDs are embedded in a thin, transparent film that can be cut and trimmed to shape and applied using automotive trim adhesive. Clearance and marker lamps meet Federal Motor Carrier Safety Standard 108 governing lighting, while using only 2% of the material of ordinary markers.
The technology can flash or strobe, with full intensity observable over a 180-degree arc. Emergency lighting for oversized loads, snow plows, and emergency vehicles can be achieved without the use of external light bars and strobe lamps. Police vehicles can be stealthy, with no lamp assemblies showing until LightForm is activated. The lighting, placed on windshields and front and side windows does not interfere with drivers' vision but flashes at full intensity when activated. Grote plans to launch Light-From later this year.

Dave Rexroth, a meteorologist hurt in a fireworks accident, has lost vision in his left eye. The WXYZ chief meteorologist is currently hospitalized and will be having surgery in the coming days. The Des Moines Register shared the details on Monday.
Rexroth, 48, was on vacation with his family in Iowa City when the incident occurred on the Fourth of July. The station has indicated that he will receive a prosthetic eye and hopefully he will recover by September. The station has also said that they hope he has a speedy recovery and they are optimistic that he can return in September.
The Detroit News notes that Iowa City officers were called regarding an incident with a person who had possible burns from fireworks a bit after 10 p.m. on the Fourth of July. Medical personnel responded to a private driveway, and Rexroth was rushed to the hospital. Few other details regarding just what happened have been released at this point.
At this time it seems unclear whether this was something that happened to Rexroth as a bystander at a public fireworks show, or if he was personally lighting off fireworks. From the details that have emerged, it does sound as if it was likely a private incident that went awry. It would seem likely that more information will come out in the coming days.
Either way, fans are flooding to the WXYZ pages to lend their support to Dave Rexroth. He has clearly made an impact on the community and the network's viewers, and everybody hopes he can recover well and be back to work soon.

On a crowded bus at midday, Raymond Queneau observes one man accusing another of jostling him deliberately. When a seat is vacated, the first man appropriates it. Later, in another part of town, Queneau sees the man being advised by a friend to sew a new button on his overcoat. Exercises in Style - Queneau's experimental masterpiece and a hallmark book of the Oulipo literary group - retells this unexceptional tale ninety-nine times, employing the sonnet and the alexandrine, onomatopoeia and Cockney. An Abusive chapter heartily deplores the events; Opera English lends them grandeur. Queneau once said that of all his books, this was the one he most wished to see translated. He offered Barbara Wright his heartiest congratulations, adding: I have always thought that nothing is untranslatable.Here is new proof. To celebrate the 65th anniversary of the 1947 French publication of Exercises de Style, New Directions has asked several writers to contribute new exercises as a tribute. Tantalizing examples include Jonathan Lethem's Cyberpunk, Harry Mathew's Phonetic Eros, and Frederic Tuten's Beatnik exercises. This edition also retains Barbara Wright's original introduction and reminiscence of working on this book - a translation that in 2008 was ranked first on the Author's Society's list of The 50 Outstanding Translations of the Last 50 Years.

I'm looking at getting back into riding. Nothing overly crazy just some mild trails. I've been checking craiglist and came across a GT XCR 4000 for $400.
It's all stock with the exception that it has DT Swiss SSD Carbon rear shock and specialized alias seat.
Does $400 seem reasonable for it?
I'd post a pic of it but I don't have enough posts. I looks really clean.
