The India-China stand-off in the Depsang plains of Ladakh is set to blow up into a major diplomatic row after the third flag meeting between the two armies, on which a lot of hopes were pinned, failed to achieve any breakthrough Tuesday.
On the contrary, the Chinese side was even more assertive and this, sources said, has brought the upcoming visit of new Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to India in late-May under a cloud, threatening to derail the positive start made in Durban during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's first meeting with new Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Singh had described the incursion as "localised", but efforts to keep it contained received a major setback Tuesday.
The flag meeting, which took place some 20 km from Chushul in Ladakh on the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control, was set up after lengthy deliberations at the diplomatic level through the joint mechanism on boundary issues led by the MEA's joint secretary (East Asia).
At the meeting, sources said, it was expected that both sides would agree to move back an agreed distance from their respective face-off positions. The Indian side was to initiate the proposal and it was hoped that an agreement would be reached, setting the stage for further discussions during External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid's visit to China on May 9.
But the talks did not follow the script. It is reliably learnt that the Chinese side was not only cold to the proposal but went on to re-emphasise its earlier demands as a pre-condition to even considering a withdrawal.
These demands include removal of a second tent put up by Indian forces at the face-off site that, incidentally, came up after the Chinese troops put up their second tent to service their forward position.

The woman called 911 around 6 a.m. telling dispatchers a man had come to the door of the west Olympia group home where she worked around 2:15 a.m. and asked to be let in to work with her. The woman recognized the man as a previous employee of the group home and let him inside.
But a short time later, the man pulled into the woman into the garage, attacked her and then tied her up, police said. After running back into the home to steal a small amount of cash, the man returned, put the woman in a car and drove to a remote site off Ensign Road where he raped her, police said.
The woman eventually managed to escape and call police for help. She was taken to St. Peter's Hospital for treatment of multiple injuries, then released.
Detectives were able to identify their suspect as 24-year-old Colin T. McCullough and arrested him at his home later on Sunday. McCullough has been booked into the Thurston County Jail for investigation of first degree kidnapping, rape and robbery.

Exploring the Perl DateTime module
Because calendar rules are influenced by historical and political decisions, date manipulations are riddled with pitfalls. Perl's DateTime module knows all the tricks.
If a backup script launches at 10 pm and quits at 4 am, how long did it take to run? Six hours? Well, it depends. Just think about a process that ran between March 26 and 27 in 2005 somewhere in the UK. The clocks were put forward by one hour at 1 am, and that would make five hours the right answer. If the same process had run at the same time in the USA, the answer would have been six hours, as summer time starts a week later in the US. But not in Indiana, which had not yet introduced summer time in 2005. In fact, Indiana is introducing summer time this year (2006, [2]). Fortunately, the DateTime module ([5]) from CPAN knows all these historical and future rules and provides an easy interface to even the most complex date calculations. What if you wanted to know how long the current summer time rules have been in use in the UK? Listing 1 (dsthist) discovers this by looking back from the year 2006 and checking through the month of March to find out if there is a day where you end up at 5 a.m. when adding three hours and one second to 00:59:59. If this happens, summer time was used during this year, and the script stops when it discovers that's not the case. The display shows that 1972 was the first year with today's summertime rules:

Hello one and all,
I need to be able to order the results from one data pull by the results from a second:
sql = "SELECT * FROM Players WHERE PL_Box_ID ="&BX_DB("BX_ID")
set PL_DB = doquerySQL(sql)
sql = "SELECT * FROM Scores WHERE SC_Box_ID ="&BX_DB("BX_ID")&" ORDER BY SC_Sets_Score, SC_Games_Score"
set SC_DB = doquerySQL(sql)
You have player information in the Players table and score results stored in the Scores table. I want to list the players in order of their current results total (Sets_Score and Games_Score) that is stored in the Scores table.
Originally I had the running totals in the Players table but that would not allow me to store historical data over a number of seasons so I moved them into their own table. Creating updating and storing the points works fine. Its just displaying the players in the right order that I can't achieve.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

A gorgeous recent wedding at Paws Up!
Collin + Lindsay // Montana from Timeline Video Productions on Vimeo.
A gorgeous recent wedding at Paws Up!
Collin + Lindsay // Montana from Timeline Video Productions on Vimeo.
With a collection of hot springs, local breweries and easy access to skiing and other winter sports, Missoula, MT, has a full assortment of winter fun.
Missoula makes a great base for those interested in piecing together a multiday ski trip. Skiers can choose among six ski areas within a two-and-a-half hour drive of downtown, the closest being Montana Snowbowl in the Lolo National Forest about 25 minutes away. Cross-country skiing trails can be found in three national forest areas – on some local golf courses and at the Mount Haggin Nordic Ski Area. Guests can rent snowmobiles at a few local shops, then explore the vast network of snowmobile trails that wind through Missoula's surrounding forests. Ice skaters can glide on indoor and outdoor floors at Glacier Ice Rink, while anglers can ice fish at several lakes that freeze over in the Seely Swan Valley.
After experiencing water in all its frozen forms, guests can warm up and relax aching muscles in one of Missoula's hot springs. While some of the springs are located in natural settings and require a hike to reach, others have been tapped for commercial use and incorporated into resorts that feature mineral pools.
Missoula's restaurants serve everything from pizza, pub fare and BBQ to more refined recipes. With four breweries concocting original beers plus a variety of pubs, finding a drink is never a problem. In fact, we noticed Missoula's beer scene last year and named it one of the best unexpected beer cities in the country.
Activities: Downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, ice skating, ice fishing, sleigh rides
Average Annual Snowfall: 46
Winter Temps: 16 to 30
Must Try: A nighttime dip in a hot spring
The gold standard of the upscale version of experiencing the great outdoors, a stay at one of the upscale campsites at Montana's Resort at Paws Up will have even the most rugged backwoodser questioning his spartan ideals. Situated along the Blackfoot River (the very same that inspired 'A River Runs Through It'), Paws Up's "glamping" (glamorous camping, naturally) sites are the epitome of luxury and comfort: For the River Camp, your tent is a mere cast away from the water, and, by the way, is actually a sumptuously furnished, house-sized living space with canvas walls and roof, plus electricity and en suite bathroom. Nights are spent by a crackling campfire enjoying s'mores (prepared by your personal butler, naturally) before drifting off to sleep with the sounds of a gentle wind blowing through the trees and the distant bugle calls of elk.
Creature comforts aside, though, the real draw is the exceptional beauty of Montana, and the chance to experience it with a little adventure. For many, that comes in the form of rapelling down a huge, 167-foot cliff – said to be the same spot where Meriwether Lewis once stood as he crossed the U.S. – with a view of the Blackfoot River below that's simply breathtaking. Other activities we partook in were archery, ATV-ing through the mountain valleys (which you can also do on horseback), and a sweet massage in a tent with a view of the valley. Every morning, we'd wake up to beautiful sunrises with herds of cows off in the distance. The food at Paws Up's onsite restaurant Pomp is as good as anything you'll find in the big city. That said, as a vegetarian, this writer didn't try any of the hallmark meat dishes (the huckleberry pancakes were pretty awesome, though).
Naturally, Paws Up offers plenty of activities that don't require an adrenaline spike. After all, Montana is world famous for fly fishing, and the best way to spend a tranquil morning is by casting your line in the Blackfoot River while watching the sunrise over the nearby mountains. One of the most beautiful moments we experienced came during a helicopter ride, when we crossed over a herd of horses, which began to chase us as we flew by. The sound of the hooves running in the field almost made our entire group cry. The guy who works at Paws Up had never seen anything like it. That pretty well describes an experience here.
-Ryan Van Duzer
in rural Montana, a spacious, extravagant home masquerading as a family-style campground is a city-dweller's haven along the Blackfoot River. The Resort At Paws Up sits in a forest of brilliantly colored firs and ash trees in the fall. We'll wander the surrounding plains and snap photos, Ansel Adams in mind. A perfect escape from everyday routine.
This September, Mary-Frances was thrilled to be apart of a FAM (FAMiliarize) trip to The Resort at Paws Up in Greenough, Montana. Actually, she hasn't stopped talking about Paws Up since she's returned! It really is a destination spot like none other for the bride and groom who love nature and the outdoors and are looking for that rustic elegance feel for their wedding. Paws Up's luxurious accommodations (including "glamping" – glamorous camping and 1-4 bedroom homes for families, bridal parties or small groups) are over the top and the activities for your guests to enjoy really are endless (horseback riding, cattle drives, hunting, fly fishing, dog sledding, skiing, hot air ballooning, four wheeling, snowmobiling, white water rafting, hiking and relaxing at the spa…just to name a few). Not only are the views and weather spectacular, but the food and service will far exceed the expectations of any "foodie." For weddings from 10-250+ people, the options really are limitless….you can bring in your own vendors and decor or use the resort's contacts to make your wedding fit your needs/wants and budget. Weddings are welcomed at Paws Up year-round…winter weddings are just as magical as fall, spring and summer weddings! Located 45 minutes from Missoula International Airport (the resort will send Mercedes vans to pick you and your guests up!), Paws Up is also a great destination spot for corporate events, milestone celebrations, family reunions, bachelor or bachelorette weekends and honeymooners. Visiting Paws Up was one of Mary-Frances' most favorite trips she has ever been on…she will never forget the breathtaking Montana scenery, glamping for the first time, the delicious food, experiencing a cattle drive and the way she felt so welcomed and taken care of by the staff at Paws Up! We would LOVE to do a wedding at The Resort at Paws Up SOON!
Travel writer Jen Pollack Bianco has put together this video summarizing her recent stay at Paws Up:
Paws Up attended IMEX for the first time this week at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, amidst over 1,000 exhibitors. IMEX America is America's worldwide exhibition for incentive travel, meetings and events, IMEX America benefits from a Strategic Partnership with MPI, Meeting Professionals International; as well as a broad coalition of industry support. 2,400 group buyers/meeting planners attended and were introduced to The Last Best Meeting Place.

Over the years, I've chipped in at several fund-raising events, and that included bake sales. I've always resorted to some classic recipes handed down by my own mother when it came to preparing baked goods for bake sales, but this little gem of a book has provided me some interesting ideas to spice things up a bit. The book is small in comparison to most other recipe books, but it contains a lot of handy tips and practical information. The spiral-bound format also makes it easy to flip through and refer to when looking up a recipe. The book is also quite well-organized, with handy tips on what to do in preparing for a bake sale, which includes a "bake sale checklist", must-have utensils, tips for successful baking, etc. There are 75 recipes in all, which is organized under cookies, brownies & bars, cupcakes, cakes, quick breads & muffins, candies & confections, and frostings and fillings. At the end there are metric equivalent charts, an index, and even some pretty labels for bake sale treats. Some of my favorite recipes here are chocolate wows cookies (three kinds of chocolate and pecans, yummy!), lemon slices, chocolate-cherry biscotti, cheesecake swirl brownies,zucchini and cheese bread, and many more. Though a lot of these recipes can be easily looked up (in different variations even) in other recipe books, this is nevertheless a cute, and handy bake-sale cookbook for easy reference, especially when one is pressed for time. Recommended!

This is a great little cookbook even if you don't plan on having a bakesale. But if you are, this book is a must have. I was really impressed with all the great tips and ideas I hadn't thought of. I purchased the book for the yummy recipes but I was really inspired to participate in a bakesale! My husband, who loves to bake, was also impressed with the recipes. Great photos, too. Really happy I purchased this book. I plan on purchasing one for a friend as well.
Thank you for your feedback.

I am always looking for cookbooks that offer not only new recipes but helpful hints for bakes sales. For a "small" cookbook I have been very pleased with this one. It has several recipes that I will be using for our church upcoming bazaar/bake sales but also offers suggestions on presentation, table set-up, etc. For me it was well worth the price plus a very enjoyable read.
Thank you for your feedback.

Product Description
"There has never been, and probably never will be, a P.I. more fun to observe and listen to, than Hercule Poirot." (Joseph Wambaugh, New York Times bestselling author)
"Makes uncommonly good reading." (New York Times)
"Mrs. Christie at the top of her form." (Dorothy L. Sayers, Sunday Times (London))
From the Back Cover
Sir Charles Cartwright should have known better than to allow thirteen guests to sit down for dinner. For at the end of the evening one of them is dead—choked by a cocktail that contained no trace of poison.
Predictable, says Hercule Poirot, the great detective. But entirely unpredictable is that he can find absolutely no motive for murder.…See all Product Description

The characters are great (especially the sublime Mr Satterthwaite, and the wonderfully entertaining Hermoine "Egg" Lytton Gore). Really entertaining, and great to read about. As with many of the best Poirot novels, Poirot himself does not really take a large role until quite a way into the book ("Appointment With Death" "Cat and Among the Pigeons", for example.)
The plot is great, and the motive for the first motive is just sheer originality. (Even though it, and the motives for the other murders, is just a tiny weeny bit thin).
It's a pretty light Christie book, but with a brilliant first death and motive for it. And a great, rather unexpected solution. It may not be her very very best novel, but it is still one of the great ones.
The story is cleverly arranged into "Acts", a reflection of the main character, Sir Charles Cartwright, a famous stage actor who is now retired. Sir Charles hosts a dinner party which includes many who have connections with the stage: Angela Sutcliffe, actress; Miss Willis, playwright; Capt. Darce and his wife, who run a theatrical dressmaking business; and Mr. Satterthwaite, wealthy patron of the arts (featured in the short story collection THE MYSTERIOUS MR. QUIN). Rounding out the party are Dr. Strange, a specialist in nervous disorder and a college friend; the local vicar and his wife; Lady Mary Lytton Gore and her daughter Hermione, Mr. Oliver Manders and Hercule Poirot.
The party proceeds predictably until a murder takes place (or maybe just proceeds predictably). End of Act I, Act II weeks later another dinner party takes place miles aways, many, although not all, of the same guests are present and another murder takes place. Act III, Poirot and others involved in the tragedies investigate the crimes and of course, Poirot solves the crime.
The characters of Mr. Satterthwaite and Hermione are delightful and well written and Poirot is his usual eccentric self. Unfortunately the rest of the characters are down right boring and totally forgetable. The plot itself is far better than the characters. The crimes are cleverly done, there is the usual Christie twist at the end but even that cannot raise this beyond a passable rating. This mystery is suitable for long, boring plane rides or similar periods of prolonged entrapment only.
Hence, when the good Rev Stephen Babbington died during a party thrown by retired actor Sir Charles Cartwright, none of the guests present appeared to be who they were supposed to be. There was no motive, nothing was left to show the death was a criminal act.
Some time later, Dr Strange who was also a guest at the party died, this time, the nicotine poisoning was clear.
Told primarily from the perspective of Sir Charles Cartwright, his friend Mr Satterwaithte, and modern girl "Egg" Hermione Lytton Gore, Hercule Poirot took the passive role most of the story. The other three went about gathering clues, examining scenes of the crime and interviewing the usual suspects.
The only problem with such an approach could be revealed by one of Christie's favourite dogma : people do not tell what they saw or heard, they tell what they thought they saw or heard.
In many instances, it was merely written Sir Charles, Mr Satterwaithe and Egg reported what had happened to Poirot rather than describing the words they used to convey the information to Poirot. Therein lies one of the weakness of this book.
A second weakness of the book was some of the offstage investigation work done by Poirot was not revealed to the readers. In stories where the clues for opportunities and accessories were (subtly) evident, motive was not as vital for the readers to correctly guess the solution. However, this story was weak in all but the opportunities department. Only the camouflaged opportunities was masterfully done by Christie for both deaths, requiring people to consider things in the opposite of the conventional direction.
The impossible murders themselves are by nicotine, "an odourless liquid, ...[of which] a few drops are enough to kill a man almost instantaneously", and which can be derived from rose-spraying liquid and from ordinary tobacco. The first victim is a particularly mild and benevolent parson, who is killed at a party given by the actor Sir Charles Cartwright (who suspects murder). The guests include the impoverished Lady Mary Lytton Gore and her daughter 'Egg', née Hermione; the actress Angela Sutcliffe, Sir Charles' former lover; the dress-maker Cynthia Dacres (with whose salon L.W.T.Read more ›

Locals celebrate 10 years of Schoolhouse Creek Common
On Sunday May 1, neighbors in North-West Berkeley came together for a day to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Schoolhouse Creek Common. The gathering was also an occasion to thank Jamie Day, who is described as "the guiding light and spark plug" for the development of the park by the neighborhood, and his wife, Phyllis Orrick, both of whom have done so much to create and maintain this open space.
The common, which is on the corner of Curtis and Virginia streets, is a 9,000-square-foot park that is both loved and maintained by local residents. It is located near the site of an elementary school that was built there in 1856.
The original school was replaced by the San Pablo Avenue School and then, later, the Franklin Elementary School. In 2003, Franklin was closed, and a year later the Berkeley Adult School moved into its remodeled buildings.
Schoolhouse Creek Common, created by citizen volunteers with the help of the Berkeley City Council — including then councilwoman Nancy Skinner — and the Berkeley Unified School District, opened on May 13, 2006. It continues to be supported by BUSD. … Continue reading »

Berkeley school superintendent worked 18 months with lapsed credentials
For much of the last two years, Berkeley School Superintendent Donald Evans has been working without credentials required by his contract.
In July 2014, a year after his appointment, Evans let his school administrative services credential and his teaching credential lapse. He finally renewed them on Jan. 4, 2016.
The Berkeley Unified School District Board is considering giving Evans a pardon for his inattentiveness. The board is scheduled to take action Wednesday to waive the district's requirement that its top manager hold valid credentials. The action, presumably, would only apply to Evans.
"I am so embarrassed," Evans said Tuesday. "I didn't know my credential had lapsed. The state used to send reminders. It stopped doing it and left it up to school districts. Berkeley Unified doesn't do it (send out reminders)." … Continue reading »
A cow and a calf join school's morning assembly
Veronica Valerio, principal of LeConte Elementary School in Berkeley, arranged for her young students to meet a cow on Thursday last week. "As city kids it's important for them to know where milk comes from," she said. "They need to understand the whole process, from livestock to milk production."
However, the several dozen kids who sat quietly listening and answering questions posed by Brandon Roberts, a mobile dairy classroom instructor from the Dairy Council of California, appeared to be supremely knowledgeable about all matters dairy-related.
To Roberts' question about whether the children had consumed milk, yogurt or cream cheese that morning for breakfast, a majority of hands shot up. Asked if they knew how to milk a cow, a majority of hands shot up. Many were also more than happy to demonstrate their technique.
The kids' enthusiasm was impressive, as was their delight when Roberts finally pulled up the door on his trailer to reveal Buttercup, an impressive Holstein who was wholly unperturbed at the sight of so many small eyes fixed on her, and simply carried on munching her alfalfa. … Continue reading »
Berkeley fourth-grader hit by taxi; parents call for better crosswalk lighting
A fourth-grade girl from John Muir Elementary School was hit by a car Tuesday night in a crosswalk on Claremont Avenue that parents have long complained is poorly lit and needs the city's attention.
A car struck the 9-year-old girl as she and her mother were crossing Claremont at Claremont Crescent, right in front of the school, according to an email sent out by John Muir's principal, Audrey Amos. Both of the girl's legs were broken and she was treated at a local hospital.
According to Berkeley Police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Coats, police received multiple 911 calls about the collision at 7:40 p.m. The woman and her daughter were walking west in the crosswalk when a taxi driver traveling north on Claremont hit them. Coats said both the mother and daughter were injured, but that the girl's injuries were more serious. Both were taken to a local hospital for treatment. The driver stayed at the scene and was cooperative, and was ultimately cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Neither drugs nor alcohol appeared to be a factor in the crash.
The accident happened right after a PTA meeting, and has renewed calls for lighting at that crosswalk. The Berkeley Police Department pays for a crossing guard to help students across Claremont before and after school. But many children participate in the after-school program and there is no one to help them cross the street around 5:30 or 6 p.m. when it is dark. Claremont Avenue is four lanes across with a speed limit of 25 mph.

Authors of new book on ADHD come to Berkeley to debunk myths, provide advice
Hinshaw and Ellison explain the brain chemistry that causes ADHD, how a parent can get a diagnosis, and why it's important to diagnose ADHD early. They take an impassionate approach to the question of taking drugs, but also discuss other approaches to controlling it, such as counseling and exercise – all in an easy to understand Q&A format.
The dedication gives a hint at the sense of humor that also pervades the book:"We dedicate [the book] to anyone who has ever wondered whether the occasional joy of spontaneity are worth the annual costs of replacing lost sunglasses, keys, and cell phones, and to everyone willing to make the effort to understand, appreciate, and occasionally forgive the blessings and challenges of neurodiversity."
Hinshaw and Ellison will be talking about the book and ADHD at Books Inc. at 1491 Shattuck Ave. on Thursday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m.
Berkeleyside: Isn't ADHD just an excuse for bad parenting, lazy, bratty kids, and pill-poppers?
Hinshaw and Ellison: This is a prevalent myth — and one we spend a lot of time debunking in our book, in interviews, and in our public talks. Despite the skepticism and the stereotypes, substantial research has shown that ADHD is a strongly hereditary neurodevelopmental disorder. The quality of one's parenting doesn't create ADHD — although it can influence a child's development — and children with this condition are not lazy but instead handicapped in their capacity to focus attention and keep still. … Continue reading »
Berkeley artist in residence: Thacher Hurd
Earlier this year, Berkeley's Creston Books re-released famed illustrator Thacher Hurd's Pea Patch Jig, a picture book featuring a feisty mouse who gets in all sorts of trouble exploring Farmer Clem's garden.
The picture book, originally published 20 years ago, is aimed at children aged three to six years' old, and was inspired by a song, Pea Patch Jig, written by singer-songwriter John Hartford.
Berkeleyside caught up with Hurd, who lives in Berkeley and who has written and illustrated more than 25 books for children, to ask him about the reissue. We also spoke to Marissa Moss, the founder of Creston Books.
How long does it take to do each illustration for a book? What comes first: the words or the pictures? Can you work on more than one book at a time?
I don't know how long it takes to do each illustration. They're all different. Usually about a week per picture, but if it's going well, four days. Plus time to mull it over and fiddle with it, which may happen weeks later.
Yes, I do work on more than one book at a time. They're all at different stages, all the way back to little ideas in the way back of my mind. … Continue reading »

Trying out food delivery services in the East Bay
Between my regular life as a parent of three busy children and my temporary situation as a part-time home renovator, I have tested local food delivery services to the limit over the past few months.
My favorite for fresh restaurant-quality food:
San Francisco's Munchery wins hands-down as long as I remember to order before the 2pm cut-off. My children LOVE the salted chocolate chip cookie and have come to expect it when they see the telltale Munchery bag around. One of my children declared it, "Always delicious" and I tend to agree. Since meals are prepared by restaurant chefs, many of the food choices are creative. Always fresh because I finish the cooking at my house right before serving. … Continue reading »

Authorities respond to 2 incidents at Malcolm X School
Two separate incidents in the vicinity of Malcolm X Elementary School on Monday morning brought traffic to a standstill on Ashby Avenue, a state highway, and provoked significant presence from emergency responders and utility agencies.
Police blocked off an area around King Street after a power line came down, according to BUSD spokesman Mark Coplan. At around 8 a.m., a bicyclist ran into the back of a school bus that was on Ashby adjacent to the school campus, according to CHP spokesman Sean Wilkenfeld. There were no injuries, either to the cyclist or to any students on the bus, but protocol has it that the bus has to stay in place until the California Highway Patrol arrives, therefore the highway was blocked. … Continue reading »
Berkeley schools on alert after 2 abduction attempts
Berkeley schools, and the local school community, are on alert after reports of two separate attempted abductions Friday morning as students made their way to classes at Willard Middle School on 2425 Stuart St.
This morning, just before school, two BUSD students were approached by a male individual in a dark green minivan near the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Oregon Street, very close to the school, according to Pasquale Scuderi, BUSD Deputy Superintendent. Scuderi sent an email to the school community at around 12:20 p.m. today.
The man tried to convince the two students to get into his van. The students refused, and continued walking, according to Berkeley police. The man then pulled up to them and once again told them to get into the van. The students declined and then made their way to the Willard Middle School campus, and notified staff who in turn called the Berkeley Police, according to Scuderi. … Continue reading »

Five on Friday
Happy Friday! We finally made it through the week and I haven't joined in on the Friday fun in a while, so why not today?
I'm currently sitting in Reagan airport, waiting for my flight to Houston to hang out with most of the Moms Without Answers team! Sadly, my flight is delayed by about 3 hours, but I'm trying to keep positive – it's delayed, not canceled, and I'm already at the airport and can just hang out until it's time to go. Maybe I'll finally get my Stitch Fix photos edited for that post, huh? I mean, I do have all this time….
In this world we see so much hatred in, it's so nice to see kindness from people, especially strangers. This morning, people actually gave up seats for me on the Metro after seeing my 26 week pregnant belly – something that doesn't always happen. The sweetest lady saved my spot on the charging station while I ran to the restroom. Small things, but it's so nice to be reminded that there's still more kindness than hatred in the world. If you ever read this, thank you, Amanda!
Abbie was ridiculously nonchalant about me leaving this morning. I was crying (because I'm a crazy emotional pregnant lady), and she's just like, "Bye Mommy, I'll miss you!" No tears. I suppose I should be thankful, but maybe I wish she was a little more sad? She does get to spend all weekend hanging out with her Daddy and my in-laws (and will get a pool day tomorrow), so I suppose I shouldn't be offended. She'll be too busy having fun.
Like everyone else, I looked at the Nordstrom sale when it went live to the public today. There are a few beauty items I may pick up, but I won't be able to buy any clothes… because there's no maternity in the sale. Slightly annoying. I did tweet Nordstrom about it and they responded, so hopefully they fix it for future sales… I suppose my wallet will be happier this way though, right?
If you want to follow along on our fun this weekend, I'll be updating Snapchat over at @beingmrsbeer. I just can't wait to get there – come on Southwest and get my flight going!
Have a fabulous weekend friends!

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) awarded $117,000 to Maas Biolab for the continued investigation of the neuroprotective properties of cyclosporin in models of chemical warfare agent exposure. The funding will aid the study of the brain penetration of cyclosporin and its effectiveness in protecting and prolonging the survival of mitochondria within brain tissue that has been exposed to nerve agents.
The DTRA Extramural Program funding will complement an ongoing intramural cyclosporin neuroprotection research effort at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR). The WRAIR research demonstrated improved neurological outcomes in animals treated with cyclosporin following traumatic brain injury or exposure to organophosphate nerve agents.
"The DTRA award will be instrumental to our research effort with WRAIR and will augment the development of the first brain-protecting treatment for soldiers and civilians exposed to nerve agents," says Eskil Elmer, M.D., Ph.D., principal investigator and CSO at Maas Biolab.

A/n: for Quimmy (Quimbelork) I wonder if I need to point that out...
I think this sucks by the way. xD I hate writing anything under M sometimes
Pardon my French
He was taking French. What kind of useless language is that anyway? I mean, it's not like Spanish which 5.8 percent of our population speaks, and 3.9 speaking French. It's not a common language, so it shouldn't be popular. Unless, Kevin had some other reason for taking it.
The college had classes for everyone, and the French teacher, whose name I could never pronounce or spell in my life time of English. She was teaching Kevin some odd things, and he'd write phrases in little notes on the mirror before I'd take a shower, or the fridge, or just on a piece of clothing.
Simply they'd read: Je t'aime, C'est pour toi que je suis, J'veux etre avec toi, J'veux t'baiser, and so many more they were annoying as hell and I never even knew what they meant.
I watched the clock, green eyes peering over the white and gold marble frame. It was half past six which meant Kevin would be home in any minute. I finally wanted to have a decent conversation with him, that didn't involve French…
Such an annoying language. The language of "love," or so Kevin continuously told me.
The door opened, banging against the wall in an odd fashion. I hadn't been outside all day, but from what everyone was telling me it must have been cold and windy. It was only February, so should have been warming up.
"Kevin?" I called his name, as he hung up his scarf and coat on the coat hanger, and shut the door behind him as he kicked off his boots into the corner of the door.
I rolled my eyes, he spent all yesterday answering me in French. I figured he was just being obnoxious, but maybe there was more to it.
"Are you mad at me or something?"
He shook his head.
"Than why do you keep talking to me in French? Are you trying to make me suffer?"
"Non, Je t'aime."
"Mon amour pour toi est eternal."
I blinked. "what?" I crossed my arms. "Speak English!"
"Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" He smiled, trotting into the kitchen, opening the fridge while pulling out a drink.
"isn't that a song?" I followed him, eying him as he drank from the bottle.
"Oh, you do want to sleep with me. Alright."
"AH-HA!" I pointed. "You spoke English." I then pouted.
He moved back towards me, whispering in my ear. "On va chez toi ou chez moi?"
I blushed. I remembered when he first started learning these phrases, he had always asked me that question. I remembered it from all of the times I said no to it. And at the moment, I didn't want to go to his place, and he was already at mine…but wait…I didn't want to fucking sleep with him!
I stood there for the most part as Kevin moved from in front of me, and headed upstairs. Of course I followed him, I was getting fed up with his personality towards his, "French lessons." Next thing I knew he'd try to French kiss me
Kevin walked into my room and I followed, walking into nothing since I didn't notice him. He closed the door from behind and locked it with what was left of my doorknob.
My body turned after listless seconds.
"Enlève tes pantalons." He chuckled, snaking his arms around my waist and playing at the buttons.
I knocked him off. "No…no sex until you start speaking English."
"You're no fun, Ben…how'd you like it if I told you, no sex until you learned French." He moved from his position, laying down on my blue covers.
"Well, you shouldn't write all over the house in a language I don't understand. What have you been saying?"
"Oh, stuff like: faire la bête à deux dos?"
"Yes…" I sat on the end of the bed.
"I've been mainly saying I want to sleep with you, I want to have sex with you, I love, and now I want you to take off your pants so I can fuck you like an American man. Not a romantic French man, which we both know I'm not."
Kevin had lifted his arm, pulling me at the bed, rolling me over while he dragged his hand down to his buttons, undoing them.
"The French part?"
"Take off the pants, Benjy."

We created this box for people who crave pickles and can't get enough.
Every month we send an amazing variety of pickled cucumbers – spears, slices, whole cukes, sweet, spicy, smoky. And we also will include a jar of something unique, such as pickled beets, carrots, cauliflower, okra, garlic scapes, peppers, grapes, garlic, cherries, mushrooms, tomatoes, fennel.
Here's what we recently shipped out: life-changing dill potato pickles, cucumbers pickled with bourbon, pickled wasabi green beans, and caraway garlic dill cucumber spears.
Each month our team of curators puts together an amazing selection of pickles, then orders everything from the makers, so everything is as fresh as possible. The first box will be sent depending on when during the month the order is placed. If you order before the 3rd, you'll receive your first box that month. If you order on the 4th or later, your first box arrives the next month. Subscriptions boxes are shipped around the middle of each month. Boxes take 1 to 5 business days to arrive, so you can expect to receive yours between the 16th and the 25th. Enjoy the goodies!

Hartmut Issel from UBS Wealth Management says the contrarian trade is one of the bank's technical overweight positions. » Read More
Stocks finished flat Monday as traders opted to pull over and let some of the earnings traffic pass before deciding what to do next.
Stocks advanced Monday, helped by financials, after some encouraging news that suggests banks may be getting their act together.
Stocks opened higher Monday, led by financials, after some encouraging news that suggests banks may be getting their act together.
.Three big financial stocks are the top volume movers this morning--Washington Mutual, UBS, and Citigroup. Washington Mutual up 16 percent pre-open on a Journal story that private equity firm TPG and others may invest $5 b in the company, which would provide it with much-needed capital.
Major stock indexes ticked higher Friday though the market was broadly mixed. General Motors skidded, while UBS shares advanced.
A breakup of Swiss bank UBS would not be possible at the moment but it should be thoroughly restructured to bring it back on course, Luqman Arnold, chairman of investment company Olivant and former president of UBS, told CNBC Europe.
Stocks opened flat Friday as investors shrugged off a worse-than-expected March employment report.
Shares of Swiss bank UBS rose 3.7 percent Friday as activist investor Luqman Arnold called for a restructuring of the company that would include a sale of its asset-management business.
Pressure on beleaguered Swiss bank UBS to break up intensified as activist investor and former chief executive Luqman Arnold demanded to meet UBS' board and shake up its governance and structure.
Stocks wobbled at the open Wednesday as the market looked to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, testifying on Capitol Hill today and tomorrow, for direction.
New hope that the credit crisis is nearing an end sends stocks soaring as investors say good riddance to Q1. Also, the latest on Microsoft-Yahoo, Merck and Schering and more.
Stocks rallied to the finish line Tuesday, led by financials, after Lehman Brothers announced plans to raise more capital and two European banks disclosed write-downs.
Stocks kicked off the second quarter with a rally Tuesday, led by financials, as news of more write-downs from European banks offered hope that the end is in sight for the global credit crunch.
News of massive writedowns at two major European banks paradoxically sent shares soaring Tuesday, as many investors took the typically negative announcements as a signal to buy into the battered sector.
UBS doubled its writedowns from the subprime crisis on Tuesday, dumped its chairman and sought more emergency capital in a second attempt to reverse its fortunes.
Stocks kicked off the second quarter with a rally Tuesday, led by financials, as news of more write-downs from European banks offered hope that the end is in sight for the global credit crunch.
OK, the second quarter is starting a lot like the first quarter. How so? Once again, a bunch of financial institutions are out with big writedowns, or trying to raise capital. Sound bad? No, no, say the bulls, you don't understand, this is good.
Treasury debt prices plunged Tuesday as plans by financial companies to raise capital were taken as a possible sign the worst of the credit crisis might be over, sapping any safe-haven bid for bonds.
Lehman Brothers became the latest bank to take steps to shore up its funding after markets closed Monday, announcing that it will issue $3 billion of convertible preferred shares.
Stocks advanced Monday, led by financials, as the market looked for insight into the second quarter and braced for closing its worst quarter in 5 1/2 years.

Judge denies Goldwater Institute's temporary restraining order
A Superior Court Judge has denied Goldwater Institute's
temporary restraining order against Glendale City Council's
decision on arena deal.
The council has moved forward with a 10:30 a.m. Friday vote.
Judge Katherine Cooper ruled that the Maricopa County Superior Court does not have the authority to block the Council from voting on the $325 million deal, expected to pass by a 4-3 vote.
But Goldwater's not done.
Attorneys for the conservative think tank are expected to file another challenge on Monday, claiming the city has brokered a backroom deal.
"We absolutely will challenge this vote," said Carrie Ann Sitren, an attorney representing Goldwater.
In court, Sitren argued that Glendale has ignored their public-records request in failing to produce key financial documents in a timely manner.
Among the concealed reports are management-performance standards and the annual budget for Jobing.com Arena, Sitren said.
"We are concerned the deal violates the Arizona Constitution's gift clause which regulates tax subsidies for private businesses," Sitren said.
While Judge Cooper didn't grant the restraining order, Goldwater was pleased with her comments in court.
"If the city had complied with orders in the first place, (Judge Cooper) would not have said what she said today," Sitren said.
"She was very clear that the city was in contempt of court, violated court orders and if the deal is approved it will be struck down."
Goldwater President Darcy Olsen released a statement after the court proceedings:
"This morning, Judge Cooper denied the Goldwater Institute's motion for temporary restraining on the grounds that felt the court lacked the authority to block the vote. Simultaneously, she issued a strong warning to the City of Glendale about the implications of moving forward today, affirming the Goldwater Institute's contention that the city has committed 'clear violations' both of court orders and open meeting laws.
"She emphasized the court would be receptive to considering holding the city in contempt if the council moves forward with the vote, stating that sanctions would be in order. We hope the council will heed the judge's warning, comply with the law, and give the public sufficient time to review the council's proposed action."

You won't be disappointed.1. This is an energy play. The new democratic leadership will help here in the US, even though this is really a world play.2. It's a growth company. It will fit nicely in many new mutual funds, especially if it sits comfortably above $10 a share for while longer.3. They have cash. We don't have to worry about any stock dilution this year, as they have the cash that they need over the next 2 years.As long as management executes, this should continue to rise all 2007.

Wonderful hotel. As always the staff is friendly and efficient, and the rooms well maintained.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Very nice location, right on the ocean. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and good value for money. Air conditioning is just barely there, but livable. The restaurant has a good menu and the food is well prepared. The fresh fish is especially good.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I've stayed several places in Elmina over the years, and this place is the best kept secret in the area! It is well maintained, and the owner and his wife are friendly and accommodating. Come and eat breakfast or dinner literally feet from the ocean surf, swim in the pool or enjoy clean rooms with good a/c. And best of all, enjoy all this at a considerable savings over the surrounding options!
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I've stayed at the Elmina Bay three times on various trips, and have always been well pleased. The owner and his wife are friendly and helpful, and their buildings are new and well maintained. The restaurant is decent, and has a variety of native and international foods. It is a good deal for the price!

Breakfast this morning was a cup of coffee. My wife always packs a bunch of granola bars in my luggage, so one or two of them completed my morning meal. No sense trying to destroy my figure! My driver arrived right on time, so I paid the bill and we were on our way by 10 am.

I slept very well last night – just not long enough. The alarm on my phone is a two-stage one. The first goes for a minute and is very gentle.
