San Antonio Family Law & Divorce Lawyers
Dedicated Family Law and Divorce Lawyers
Divorce and Family law matters are among some of the most emotionally and financially challenging times for an individual or family to go through. Dealing with the complications tied to family law situations such as divorce, child support modification, adoptions or child protective services issues can be overwhelming and completely transform a household. That is why many San Antonio residents facing these types of situations rely on our team of San Antonio Divorce and Family Law Attorneys to help them.
While some divorces are simple and straight forward, others involve children, retirement benefits and extensive assets and property. Despite the differences between a simple, uncontested divorce with very little property and a contested divorce dealing with a large amount of assets, working with an experienced divorce lawyer in San Antonio can benefit families considering either. While a divorce may seem simple enough to do on your own, seeking the help of an experienced San Antonio divorce lawyer can help reveal important information that can help divorcees maneuver through the process while protecting assets, property and custody.
Child Custody Issues
Even in situations where child custody is not a complicated battle, the process of splitting custody and visitation can provoke anxiety and stress. Whether going through a divorce, modifying a current visitation schedule or seeking custody of a family member, most custody situations require the specific experience of a family law attorney with knowledge of state laws and pinpointed issues surrounding one's exact situation.
The stress related to child custody situations can completely overwhelm parents trying to juggle their family, professional and financial lives. Going from a dual income to a single income following a divorce can be difficult, even with the availability and presence of established child support.
Child Support and Modifications
Many single parents rely on child support to make ends meet following a divorce, making the amount of child support one will receive a question that many people seeking help with family matters have. Understanding the specific amount of child support one is entitled to depends on the state, employment and other considerations. Because of the various factors related to how much child support a parent with primary custody is entitled to often requires the advocacy of a knowledgeable family law attorney who is familiar with the issues associated with child custody and child support.
As life situations occur, especially within a struggling economy, child support modifications are sometimes necessary. Parents may begin making more money, increasing the amount of child support one is responsible for and the amount a parent with primary custody is entitled to receive.
Although the situations families face when it comes to legal issues can range and vary from person to person, the aid of a family law attorney in San Antonio can help reveal the truths associated while provided clear answers and advocacy. Protecting oneself and planning the way a divorce or custody matter progresses, right from the start can help prevent future needs and make a difficult situation and simplified as it possibly can be. Contact the knowledgeable Divorce and Family Law Attorneys at Zinda Law Group to schedule your consultation.

I was hoping someone could help me out, and urgently, with an alternative gallery display in NextGen. I'd like to use the ImageBrowser, but with a thumbnail carousel as navigation rather than the 'next' and 'previous' links.
Any ideas on how I can do this?
I've also installed the Smoothgallery add-on, which comes close to what I want, but I don't know enough code to change things like where the carousel appears (I want it below the image), to get rid of the overlap, etc.

|"Deadpool: Suicide Kings" #1
Wade Wilson AKA Deadpool, Marvel Comicsâ Merc with a Mouth, is a very dangerous man. Heâs armed with a superhuman healing factor, a plethora of deadly weapons, and an arsenal of jokes, quips, and sarcastic replies. This month heâll need to bring them all to bear to survive what writer Mike Benson and artist Carlo Barberi have planned for him in the five issue mini-series âDeadpool: Suicide Kings.â CBR News spoke with Benson about the project.
Bensonâs first Deadpool story, a one-shot titled âGame$ of Death,â is in stores now. The strength of his script for that project earned him the opportunity to take the Merc with a Mouth out for another spin, which he eagerly accepted. âDeadpool is a unique character -- an interesting blend of manic humor and crazy-paced action and mayhem,â Benson told CBR News. âWhat makes him challenging to write is you donât really want to rely on one thing. Itâs about capturing everything at once â his essence. Also, humor is pretty subjective so hopefully more people will dig it than not.â
âSuicide Kingsâ finds Deadpool hunting for clues and cover. âThere is definitely a detective element to this tale. In a nutshell, Deadpool is framed for a heinous crime, putting him in the crosshairs of some big-name Marvel Universe heroes â Spider-Man and Daredevil -- and one anti-hero (the Punisher),â Benson explained. âTo prove his innocence, Deadpool has first got to avoid getting captured or, in the case of the Punisher, killed.â
Benson found writing the dynamic between Deadpool and characters like Spider-Man, the Punisher and Daredevil to be both fun and difficult. âFun insofar as youâre playing in the deep water with these iconic heroes I grew up with,â the writer said. âDifficult insofar as youâre playing with these iconic heroes and you need to really be true to who they are, not only the star of the title.â
While âGame$ of the Deathâ was an over the top, comedic Deadpool romp, the tone of âSuicide Kingsâ is more toned down. âThis series will, no doubt, have big zany moments, but itâs more about Deadpool on the run, trying to prove his innocence,â Benson remarked. âThe art (by Carlo Barberi) is also less cartoony than the art for âGame$ of Deathâ (by Shawn Crystal). Carlo is an incredibly gifted artist â he really brings the character to life.â
âDeadpool: Suicide Kingsâ isnât the only title Benson writes that stars a mentally fractured protagonist. He also pens the monthly adventures of âMoon Knight,â which leaves some readers wondering about the possibility of future issues of Moon Knight featuring an appearance by everybodyâs favorite manic, mouthy, mercenary. âBroken, dysfunctional characters are much more relatable and fun to write,â Benson said. âThereâs more depth. Deadpool is a fairly new character to me, but heâs quickly grown on me. I think Moon Knight and Wade Wilson would make an excellent train wreck.â

Vermicompost treatment differentially affects seed germination, seedling growth and physiological status of vegetable crop species

Vermicompost preparations are increasingly used in agricultural practice. There is a possibility, that crop plants are sensitive to negative effect of vermicompost at early stages of development. The aim of the present study was to test the effects of vermicompost on seed germination and seedling growth of different vegetable crop species. Vermicompost substitution inhibited seed germination and seedling growth with almost linear decrease of growth with increasing concentration of vermicopost in the substrate. However, both leaf chlorophyll content and photochemical activity of photosynthesis increased in all crop species with the exception of pea seedlings. Vermicompost extract as a watering solution showed positive effect on growth of bean and pea seedlings. Germination response of vermicompost extract-imbibed seeds was clearly crop species-dependent. Hypocotyl growth was stimulated by low and moderate vermicompost extract concentrations. Radicle growth was more sensitive to negative effect of vermicompost extract. It is reported that both solid vermicompost and vermicompost extract contain number of active substances of both phenolic and humic nature, each with own dose- and genotype-dependent effect of seed germination and early stages of seedling development. Findings of this study suggests that vermicompost must be used cautiously for practical purposes of plant propagation.

The club have confirmed the official appointment of the eccentric Argentine after having said earlier this month they intented to appoint the former Athletic Bilbao coach.
Marseille hope that Bielsa will rediscover the magic enjoyed during Didier Deschamps' three-year reign.
Deschamps guided the 1993 European Cup winners to their first domestic league title in 18 years in 2010 but since his departure in 2012, OM have struggled to match up with the likes of Paris St Germain and Monaco.
Elie Baup and caretaker Jose Anigo were both let go after they failed to inspire the club's players.
Bielsa, who was in charge of Argentina from 1998-2004 and Athletic Bilbao from 2011-13, will take over from Anigo, who took over in a caretaking capacity last December.
Bielsa, 58, also coached Chile from 2007-11.
In 2012 he guided Athletic Bilbao to the finals of the Europa League and Copa Del Rey losing to Atletico Madrid and Barcelona respectively.
Marseille finished a disappointing sixth last season after being runners-up the previous year.

Im trying to perform routing with openlayers, geoserver and mysql. In order to get the start and end points, I need to be able to get a feature of the node layer (which has point features) that lies closest to an arbitrary point I click on the map. Does openlayers provide any functionality for this. If not, kindly suggest any alternative methods for achieving this.
With a bit of comparison you can:
see: http://jsfiddle.net/XfEmn/
(note, I use underscore.js _.min function, you could of course do this with a foor loop etc, the clue is to loop the features and get the one with the shortest distanceTo the clicked point)
Yes, OpenLayers has this functionality. Its called SelectFeature Control. see docs here.
you should check how the following examples work(uses: OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature).

ABSTRACT This research analyzes manufacturing growth and decline across metropolitan and nonmetropolitan regions during the 1972–2002 period. We decompose real value added growth across local labor market areas in the lower 48 U.S. states into contributions from labor, capital, and total factor productivity. We then estimate a model describing the long-run growth of labor, capital, and productivity and find that increased productivity increases the growth of labor and capital, as well as a positive correlation between labor and capital stock growth. We also find evidence that human capital investment and agglomeration economies encourage productivity growth, while unionization discourages it.

just The Interview - Paul Walsh on Diageo Full-Year
Diageo CEO Paul Walsh upbeat on trading
Diageo has come from behind to surprise investors in a fiscal year that looked more than a little rocky at half-time. Here, just-drinks deputy editor Chris Mercer talks to Diageo CEO Paul Walsh about the results and what happens next.
Torrential rain is rattling the windows as I meet Paul Walsh in Diageo's small-yet-plush office in downtown London. Inside, though, the sun is beaming. Only hours earlier, the Johnnie Walker distiller impressed those faceless markets with a 5% rise in full-year net sales and a 17% jump in profits; not to mention the highly unusual publication of three-year guidance.
Boxed into a corner after its half-year announcement, Diageo has come out with fists pumping.
I only have 20 minutes with Walsh, so we get straight down to the nuts and bolts. While the numbers look solid, I suggest that, in Europe, the storm clouds outside those windows seem apt. "I think we have to disaggregate Europe," Walsh shoots back.
In the likes of Ireland, Greece, Spain and Italy, he says, "clearly you have countries that are going through economic turmoil. Consumer confidence is low, taxation is increasing and the ability for consumers to spend as they have been doing in the last decade has changed. What I found encouraging is that [yes], we're seeing a contraction at top-line, but we've held our margin and we are still selling product." He counters that the UK "is ok", while Benelux and Germany are "just fine, thank you very much". Russia, he says, is doing extremely well and the addition of Mey Icki in Turkey is expected to make a sizeable impact.
That said, Diageo has just completed a review of its operations, with a particular focus on Europe, and I'm keen to find out how the firm has been protecting those European margins. For one thing, advertising spend is down in Europe. But, what about cost cutting within the business? Walsh says that the group has "already cut costs" in the worst-hit markets. "Equally, in our head office, there's been some cost reduction, as we try to put our resources more into the markets where we're seeing growth," he says. Cuts have been made across a range of back-office functions, he adds, including administration, finance and human resources. The firm, though, won't disclose job cuts numbers and has no plan to do so.
Europe's loss is Asia and Latin America's gain, with emerging markets set to swallow more of Diageo's resources. Oh yes, and don't forget Africa, a region that Walsh believes is "often unrecognised" in Diageo's business. "Africa is a jewel," he enthuses. "Even in the teeth of the last economic fall-off, Africa continued to perform very well - not quite [rising] in double-digits, but not far enough."
Looking at Diageo's figures, it doesn't look fanciful of the group to expect emerging markets to provide 50% of its net sales by 2015. Are profits, though, another matter? The US and Europe still account for two thirds of company profits. "Profits may lag that 50% sales a little bit, but it won't be a lot," Walsh says. "If you look at our gross margins, there is nothing structurally that suggests that these developing markets can't have the same overall profitability. The issue you've got is scale. We've got to get to scale and our results today demonstrate that we're starting to get that scale."
Underpinning Diageo's thinking is pure demographics. "Simply look at the number of middle class consumers coming on-stream in these markets over next 10-15 years, and then contrast that to what's happening in Europe," Walsh says. He argues that an annual income of just $10,000 is enough to "dramatically change" consumer tastes in emerging markets; a term, by the way, that he believes is already outmoded given the low debt, high investment make-up of many such markets.
In Asia specifically, it's been said before that Diageo would consider a stock market listing. I ask Walsh about this and whether the group would consider basing more business functions in the region. "We'd be open-minded to that, I'm not saying that we're hot to go and do that, but you have to be alert to these opportunities," he says. "China, and Asia, as a capital source is increasingly looking like a good prospect and if the market is going to grow there, then clearly you need more people there, so you get into the headquarters debate." In the last few months, Diageo has based its Reserve brands business in Singapore.
In China, though, Pernod Ricard still heads the market. Does this bother Walsh? "Of course, I don't like it. I want to be number one everywhere." How close is Diageo in China? "It changes every year - every year we just notch up and get a bit closer [to them]," he says. He does, however, assume the moral high ground by declaring Pernod to be "at the end of the day, a great company". You heard it here first.
All this focus on new markets threatens to make events in the West look even worse. Walsh, though, says that he still sees the US as "very exciting", albeit with Europe "a little less so". It's clear that North America is going to be important for Diageo for some time to come, with 41% of profits and 34% of sales coming from the region in the 12 months to the end of June. "The US demographics remain attractive," says Walsh. "There are 1m more legal purchasing age adults coming into the market every year," he adds.
"The US spirits market never actually contracted," he reminds me. "I also think what you're seeing in the US is a bit of a two-speed consumer. If you're earning over $80,000 a year and you're reasonably content with your job prospects, you've come to terms with the fact that your house maybe isn't worth what you thought it was, and you've come back into the categories. If, however, you're earning less than $30,000 per year and you are worried about your job prospects then you are under a lot of pressure, and you are not in the mainstream for our products." Spirits, he believes, "are in better shape" in the US this year and have continued taking share from beer.
Acquisitions have arguably played an important role in restoring investor confidence in Diageo in calendar 2011. The group has bought Turkey's Mey Icki for $2.1bn, sorted a tie-up in Vietnam and secured a landmark deal to gain indirect control of Chinese drinks group Shui Jing Fang.
For all this, there is a sense that everyone who follows Diageo is waiting for 'the big one', whether it be Jim Beam, Moet Hennessy or another heavyweight player. Diageo had GBP1.7bn (US$2.76bn) cash in the bank at the end of June. I suggest that Cognac, Champagne and Bourbon remain gaps in the Diageo portfolio.
Walsh argues that Champagne, Cognac are not true gaps, by virtue of its 34% stake in Moet Hennessy. "If [Moet owner] Monsieur Arnault would like to sell, we'd like to buy, so it's up to him," he says. Likewise, he adopts a passive position on Jose Cuervo Tequila, which is controlled by the Beckmann family. "We have a distribution contact, it's up for renewal in 2013, we'll see where that takes us," says Walsh.
He adds: "I'm more sympathetic to your point around Bourbon, in that our presence, given the scale that we enjoy in other categories, in Bourbon we are light. That's just the way it is." With Diageo tipped as a buyer of Beam Global brands, following Beam's planned reinvention as a standalone company later this year, I ask Walsh whether the Bourbon situation is likely to change. "I don't see it changing in the near-term," he says.
With the three-year, organic guidance that Diageo has produced - average annual sales and profits rises of 6% and at least 10% respectively - is the firm making a statement about not needing acquisitions? Walsh expects Diageo will get involved in the next round of industry consolidation, whenever that happens. "We're still saying that we're interested in acquisitions, but it's got to be the right acquisition."
For now, Walsh is content to indulge in a bit of 'we told you so' with anyone who doubted Diageo's ability earlier in the year. Time is up and, beyond the window pane, the sun is emerging.

If you find that the top half of a radiator is not as hot as the bottom, the cause is most likely to be trapped air in the heating system. This can be easily remedied by bleeding the air from the radiator.
Tools required: Radiator bleed key and an old towel or cloth.
First of all, turn off the central heating system, you will need a radiator air bleeding key, which are available at DIY stores such as B & Q, Focus, etc and an old towel or absorbent cloth. Locate the air bleed valve at the top end of the radiator and hold the towel / cloth just beneath it.
SAFETY POINT – Any water that comes out of the bleed valve may be very hot, so take care to avoid being scalded.
Using the key turn the valve anticlockwise just enough to release the trapped air (a low hiss can usually be heard ) when water starts to dribble out of the valve close it tightly and wipe away any drips or runs of water from the radiator.
Switch the heating system on and check the radiator. If the radiator still feels cooler at the top repeat the procedure.

I have two related questions regarding my Thinkpad x220i and my SSD:
Should I be able to insert a M4 7mm into my Lenovo Thinkpad x220i?
If it is possible, what is the proper procedure?
Yes you should - the x220 does take in 7mm drives (as opposed to 9mm drives), though according to the service manual, SSDs require spacers, while hard drives use rubber rails. Considering the physical dimensions are the same, I'd guess you could just use whatever your drive has now. You just need to remove a screw and slide it out, then replace the current drive with a new one.
From the Lenovo service manual, Remove Battery First.
But what the manual does not show is removal from the caddy. But Lenovo says SSD's may use different rails, so you may have to find some on ebay or look in Lenovo Spare Parts

I used your recipe for Pecan Honey Butter to fill your other recipe for Chicken Kiev stuffed with Pecan Honey Butter (Chicken Kiev stuffed with Pecan Honey Butter)--delicious!! I was very skeptical about adding the olive oil--I've always just used the honey and the butter and the pecans...The cinnamon added a nice touch. The only change I made was to use half olive oil, and half regular vegetable oil, because your recipe specified to use "Light" olive oil, and mine wasn't light...I think blending the two oils was the right choice,only because of the olive oil I used. I think, even though I only used half olive oil, it was still too much, because there is a slight taste to the finished product that tells me my olive oil was just too strong. With that said, I must state clearly that this is a wonderful recipe, and I have no complaints...I plan on using the remaining butter on English Muffins in the morning, which I bought just to use with this recipe--I just want others who make this to be careful of the olive oil they use...thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!! Teresa
This is so yummy!!! I have tried it on waffles (frozen unfortunately because i dont have a waffle iron LOL), muffins, biscuits, and honey rolls. Its fabulous on everything! The flavor is wonderful...especially the cinnamon and honey. I finely chopped the pecans, because I dont like huge chunky pieces ;-) Thanks for the recipe!!!
Boy, is this good! I had this on top of my English muffin this morning and it was delicious! I can't wait to try it on waffles tomorrow. Thanks Rita!
Excellent excellent butter on both English Muffins and biscuits.

Just a hello and that I've enjoyed reading your blog. As it happens I live in an "old" 1926 house, am very involved with local historic preservation & neighborhood issues and am very interested in home energy issues as well, from the consumer side.

 You've blogged about Energy Star hype. I'm in agreement. One additional point if I may, in our community we had a major downtown employer vacate their multiple locations and build a new leeds platinum certified building outside of town. I can appreciate they needed new facilities and a unified space. All the crowing about "green" though completely misses the fact that there were folks who walked and rode bikes to work and were able to walk to downtown restaurants for lunch. Everyone now must drive. There is no bike trail and walking is out of the question.

 Much (not all) of the Energy Star new construction is taking place in sprawling, auto-centric planned developments far removed from services folks need to drive longer distances to... in my non-professional opinion.

 Off topic, I recently became more aware of Kalamazoo via the book Kalamazoo Promise. Very interesting. Nice community. We drove around town on our way home from a conference in Novi.

 Enjoyed your blog.
 Regards,
 Rick

To continue on from our last conversation, I would first like to offer a definition as to what I personally believe a "green product" should strive to do.
A green product can generally be defined as a product that, from raw material extraction, to end-of-life disposal, lessens its impact on the environment as thoroughly as possible.
While being mindful of the previously stated definition, I would like to ask each of you to look around right now, where ever you location, and…Continue

Louisiana Lawmakers Push For First-Ever Minimum Wage Hike
As Louisiana's legislative sessions kicks off this week, four lawmakers are pushing for the state to enact its first-ever minimum wage law.
The four bills set different targets and timelines for the wage hike. The most gradual would bring Louisiana's wage floor up to $9 an hour in 2016, and the most aggressive would raise it to $10.10 an hour by the middle of next year. Currently, employers in the state are bound only by the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour because Louisiana does not have a minimum wage law of its own.
If the $10.10 bill succeeds, it would restore the buying power that Louisiana's worst-paid workers have lost to inflation and stagnant federal wage laws over the past 40 years. Despite a trio of modest increases under President Bush, the federal minimum wage is worth less now than in 1968. If a $10.10 wage floor were adopted nationwide — something six out of 10 small business owners want, according to a recent poll — it would lift almost 5 million people out of poverty and reduce the strain on overtaxed federal safety net programs by tens of billions of dollars.
The spread of minimum wage campaigns to conservative Louisiana illustrates just how broad worker activist efforts have become. Fast food and other low-wage workers walked out on strike after strike in 2013, fighting intimidation from managers and applying pressure for change all around the country. Dozens of states are slated to consider minimum wage hikes in 2014 as congressional conservatives refuse to answer calls for a higher minimum wage from President Obama and their progressive colleagues.
That momentum is no guarantee of a positive legislative outcome for workers, of course. But one Louisiana Democrat struck an upbeat tone about the slate of wage bills his colleagues are introducing in the new session. After Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) issued "the lightest administration agenda of his six years in office" earlier this week, according to the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report, the leader of the House Democrats suggested there would be more room than usual for legislators' own ideas. "Any time you have a vacuum you are going to have forces that move in to fill that vacuum," Rep. John Bel Edwards told the paper.
Beside the minimum wage bills, Louisiana reformers have also proposed a crackdown on the state's payday lenders.

7 Ways Filmmakers Can Market Themselves With Social Media
April 15, 2013 •
Are you a filmmaker? Have you wondered about how best to market yourself in an ever-increasing social media landscape? Here are seven easy ways you can market yourself using social media.
1. Focus on Video
Filmmakers need to utilize video-based social media platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. I prefer YouTube because of the YouTube Partner program, but Vimeo is a more film-oriented avenue. Being a part of either one, or both, is better than not.
2. Don't Forget Images
Use images with your posts and tweets. People don't care how informative your blog post may be if all they see are words (people are funny that way). We don't care if you have the cure for cancer, unless, of course, you have an image of a smiling doctor accompanying your post. Or better yet, use a video.
3. Bring it Back to Your Website
Always link back to your website. This is important. Even though we use our social media platforms to create awareness for our business, it's still a good idea to link back to your source – namely, your website. Don't discount the power of your website, and with that being said, make sure you have a simple design to allow for easy navigation.
4. Promote Local Businesses
Create videos that promote local businesses. This is important for someone like me who gets most, if not all, of my business locally. People want to see the businesses they know and love getting some much-needed attention. The more you support local businesses, the more support you will get in turn.
5. Engage with Your Audience
Post your own videos, for sure, but show others how much you care about what's going on around you and your business by sharing and posting content from businesses that you follow as well as from your audience.
6. Network with Filmmakers
Network with like-minded filmmakers and even individuals who aren't in your field but are associated with it, such as marketers, producers and other artists. Let them know you're interested in their projects and offer to help them when you can. You never know when they may return the favor (especially when you need it most).
7. Provide Value
Most importantly of all – post content and videos of value! Think about what you have that you can offer to your audience and prospective clients. For filmmakers it's relatively easy: how-to videos for how to properly light a set, for example, or a step-by-step guide on how to build a DIY camera rig. There are numerous avenues to explore here, and just because you see something that's been done before doesn't mean you don't have a different or better way of doing it.

My last blog post was kind of huge and really long and had lots of information in it. It was so overwhelming I had to take some time to let that all just be. We have had a rough few days around here too. Alex has some serious sensory issues that we are just figuring out. He has always had them, but before we knew what was going on he just would have a tantrum and we wouldn't know why. Now we do and we have been trying to help him around those so he isn't stuck in one place for too long dealing with the same issues for too long.
He seems to have oral sensory issues and hearing sensory issues and we are not sure which is worse for him, but right now his hearing ones are causing some stress and anxiety. He has always been afraid of thunderstorms but it seems since the car accident he now relates that crashing sound to the car crashing sound and he can't function. He gets so freaked out he needs to know what the weather is doing and what radar looks like. He wants to see all of the alerts and possible weather conditions for our area. It is paralyzing for him and we (Nathan and I) are almost powerless to help him stay calm. We have been teaching him self empowerment phases to help calm himself down like "I am safe", "I am calm", "I can do this", and "everything is going to be ok". We work on deep breathing and we focus on using his stops and pauses...they are tools he has learned in therapy to center is actions and focus. Sometimes he is so excited and upset though I am worried he is going to pass out.
I don't believe that he is doing any of this to get attention...in fact quite the opposite. I think if he could hide from me and the storm he would...he is very upset by the way it makes him feel. He just doesn't know how to deal with the whole situation all together. The only one who has had much effect on him is his big sister. She is a huge comfort to him during the storms. Of course as soon as the storm passes they are right back to cats and dogs as it were...but she is the biggest help when he is all stressed out over the storms. It certainly doesn't help that I managed to cause both of my kids some distress this weekend with their food allergies...
For the record...Pizza Hut has a lot of Tree Nut allergies on their allergy list...I should have read that list a long time ago...darn it! And McDonald's Sausage patty has sage in it...both of my poor kids found out the hard way that mom should be more careful sometimes.
Just when I think I have these darn allergies on the ropes they sneak back at us...also after several weeks of elimination diet it seems Cate probably is allergic to Chicken! DAMN IT~

well though game
Considering this is the first American made Naruto game, I think the fine folks that developed the game did an very good job. One that Japanese developers should take note of & implement into future Naruto titles. This is, definitely, a title all Xbox 360 owners should add to their library.

Fredrick John Stare Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition
Chair, Department of Nutrition
Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
Boston, Massachusetts
Dr. Willett's BCRF research has focused on understanding the influence of lifestyle factors, particularly diet and weight, on breast cancer risk and outcomes, including a recent study that showed that higher intake of red meat during adolescence is related to higher risk of breast cancer later in life. In the coming year, his group will build upon prior analyses conducted with BCRF support examining the relationship between alcohol consumption and sustained weight loss. Another major effort will be to analyze data from the Women's Lifestyle Validation Study (a sub-study of the Nurse's Health Study) to improve the measurement of diet and physical activity in studies of breast and other cancers in women. These studies are important because the NHS cohort has provided much of the data underlying our knowledge of diet in relation to risk of breast cancer. Data from these analyses will assist in interpretation of results from these studies and will guide future work to optimize the assessment of diet and physical activity in epidemiologic studies of diet and cancer. Dr. Willet's team will continue follow-up of women in the Growing Up Today Study (GUTS), initiated and expanded with funding from BCRF. In this study, they have prospectively followed over 15,000 young women starting as girls ages 10-15. Data that have been collected and analyzed include lifestyle, anthropometric, and dietary information gathered by questionnaire. This resource has allowed Dr. Willett's team to examine several important hypotheses related to benign breast disease, a known risk factor for breast cancer, in these young women.
Dr. Walter Willett is Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition and Chairman of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Willett, an American, was born in Hart, Michigan and grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, studied food science at Michigan State University, and graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School before obtaining a Doctorate in Public Health from Harvard School of Public Health. Dr. Willett has focused much of his work over the last 30 years on the development of methods, using both questionnaire and biochemical approaches, to study the effects of diet on the occurrence of major diseases. He has applied these methods starting in 1980 in the Nurses' Health Studies I and II and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Together, these cohorts that include nearly 300,000 men and women with repeated dietary assessments are providing the most detailed information on the long-term health consequences of food choices.
Dr. Willett has published over 1,500 articles, primarily on lifestyle risk factors for heart disease and cancer, and has written the textbook, Nutritional Epidemiology, published by Oxford University Press. He also has four books book for the general public, Eat, Drink and Be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide to Healthy Eating, which has appeared on most major bestseller lists, Eat, Drink, and Weigh Less, co-authored with Mollie Katzen, The Fertility Diet, co-authored with Jorge Chavarro and Pat Skerrett, and most recently, Thinfluence, co-authored with Malissa Wood, emphasizing the powerful and surprising effect friends, family, work, and environment have on weight. Dr. Willett is the most cited nutritionist internationally and is among the five most cited persons in all fields of clinical science. He is a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and the recipient of many national and international awards for his research.

Computer manufacturing company that creates a sleek and simple design upon which to work in. They are also famous for creating the ever popular iPod, which is becoming increasingly popular. There is a slight uncompatability issue, however the company is working on creating more programs to satisfy the customers. Mac users are becoming more numerous, and can potentially rise up next to Microsoft, achieving equilibrium in computer sales.
Macs are alien to me, since they aren't what I'm used to working at, but just because they're different doesn't mean I have to hate them.

Configuring NHibernate to display executed SQL does what it's supposed to, but whenever a SQL string needs to be copy-pasted into SQL Server Management Studio, we have to rearrange it dramatically in order to be compatible.
Before I dive into developing my own application that parses and rearranges this into a more ManagementStudio-friendly SQL, I'd like to reassert that this hasn't been done before - I'd hate to spend time on this and find out later.
Is there a cheap and practicable way of converting the NH-generated prepared statement into something that's executable straight away?
Thanks in advance

I've been in business to business sales for a long time, and I've read many sales books by many authors (and every salesperson should do the same), and I think they're all good, if nothing more than to learn more about other people's methods. However, I've gotten the most out of Steven Schiffman's techniques, and for me they have worked. If you do enjoy this book, or Steven Schiffman as an author, check out Brian Tracy also. He has a similar, easy to read style of writing as well.
I sell HR and OD consulting and getting senior executives and HR Directors to give you the time of day is very difficult. Since reading the book and implementing his suggestions, I am much more comfortable cold-calling and setting 2.5 times as many appointments.
The book is easy to read and full of simple ideas and solutions, but if you don't implement the ideas, even the greatest of ideas won't work. Give this book a read. ... it is the best money I have spent in a long time.
Also, his ideas about getting people to call you back are so simple and effective, I almost laughed when I started receiving so many call-backs. Just goes to show you, give his ideas a chance, even if you think they won't work.
Where the book fails is to assist people who need to make cold calls to sell, but do not have the luxury of being able to go on face-to-face meetings. Much of my business depends on selling smaller accounts over the phone and for this the book is useless other than to perhaps begin a dialect.
The author is simply trying to assist salespeople who want to set up more meetings to do so and his short and direct approach I think accomplishes that and there are several corrections to mistakes that I constantly made before I read the book.
Its worth 9 bucks, but like I said, it was not meant for telemarketers or phone only sales. Besides, am I to believe that anyone with any real sales skill is selling via telemarketing to peoples homes while they are eating dinner.
I would call this book a must read for novice and veteran alike, managers included. sometimes the simplest approach is the one that is hardest to see. Practical, common-sense applications of the most fundamental inside sales approach: the cold call.

Steinway, the famed Long Island City piano maker, is being acquired by a private equity firm for nearly $438 million.
Steinway & Sons, which has been in business for 160 years, will be acquired by Kohlberg & Co., which will take the company private. It will start a tender offer to buy all of Steinway's outstanding stock for $35 per share, a 15 percent premium to its Friday closing price of $30.43. The board of the Waltham, Mass., company unanimously recommended Monday that shareholders tender their stock.
"Our agreement with Kohlberg represents an exceptional valuation for our shareholders, while also representing an important next step in the growth of Steinway," said Michael Sweeney, chairman and interim CEO of Steinway. "Kohlberg has long been one of America's premier private investment firms. We are delighted that they recognize the bright future for Steinway as well as value our great heritage. We look forward to this partnership as we continue our mission of making the world's finest musical instruments without compromise."
Steinway was founded in 1853 in a loft on Manhattan's lower West Side. Its products include Bach Stradivarius trumpets, Selmer Paris saxophones, C.G. Conn French horns, Leblanc clarinets, King trombones, Ludwig snare drums and Steinway & Sons pianos.
Steinway, located at 181 Steinway Place, previously said it was looking into selling the company. The deal includes a 45-day "go-shop" period in which Steinway may seek out alternative bids.
"Kohlberg's long history of collaboration to grow and expand some of the world's leading consumer brands makes us an ideal partner for Steinway to accelerate its global expansion, while ensuring the artisanal manufacturing processes that make the company's products unique are preserved, celebrated and treasured," Kohlberg partner Christopher Anderson said.
Shares of Steinway Musical Instruments Inc. jumped $4.62, or 15 percent, to $35.05 on the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday. Shares this year have risen close to 70 percent.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter.

ABBEVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Henry County Sheriff's investigators have
charged the former CEO of an Abbeville bio-fuel business with theft of property for allegedly stealing from his own company.
Lt. Clyde Hornsby said 46-year-old Arnesto "Steve" Sobrado, of
Cumming, Ga., formerly served as CEO of American Bio-Fuels, which he said went out of business in June.
Sobrado turned himself in Wednesday evening and was released
after posting a $5,000 bond.
Hornsby said the charge stemmed from a report made an American Bio-Fuels owner in July that said Sobrado was selling renewable identification numbers to another company, Texas-based Paquin Energy & Fuel in Keller, Texas.
Sobrado was charged with allegedly selling $54,915 worth of RINs
to the company during June and July.
It was not clear if Sobrado had a lawyer Friday.

I have to write an applet that brings up a password dialog. The problem is that dialog is set to be always on top but when user clicks on IE window dialog gets hidden behind IE window nevertheless. And since dialog is modal and holds all IE threads IE pane does not refresh and dialog window is still painted on top of IE (but not refreshed). This behaviour confuses users (they see dialog on top of IE but it looks like it has hanged since it is not refreshe).
So I need a way to keep that dialog on top of everything. But any other solution to this problem would be nice.
Here's the code:
PassDialog dialog = new PassDialog(parent);
/* do some non gui related initialization */
Resolution: As @shemnon noted I should make a window instead of (null, Frame, Applet) parent of modal dialog. So good way to initlialize parent was:
parent = javax.swing.SwingUtilities.getWindowAncestor(theApplet);

I am processing data and it is required to have same name of outputs [standard names] for different geographical regions. Therefore it is necessary to save outputs in different folders each time. Is there a way to create a folder with different name each time when i run script?
I'd recommend using the built in date module of python instead of random numbers. You won't have to worry about values being repeated, and the date tells you more about the file than any random number can.
Here's the Codecademy course for the Python date module -- it should have you up and running in no time.
