To make this turkey and silverware holder, all you'll need is a small pumpkin, scissors, double-sided tape or pushpins, our printables and a few minutes with your kids.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Print the templates and help kids cut out the head, feathers, and silverware holder.
With pushpins or double-stick tape, add the head to the front of your pumpkin and the feathers to the back. Choose a pumpkin with a short stem so it's less noticeable. Or, you can pick a pumpkin with a long curved stem and attach the head directly to the stem, so it forms the turkey's neck!
Fold back along all solid lines and insert tab into slot created to form the silverware holder. Insert silverware and a napkin (to make it look even fancier!). During dinner, help kids write what they are thankful for in the space provided.

I'm Ashley (McMillan) Weightman. I grew up in the small town of Wimbledon, North Dakota. In 2005 I moved to Bismarck to go to school where I graduated from the University of Mary with a Bachelors Degree in Communications and Business. I began working at the CBS affiliate as a reporter while in college and spent three years there. From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.
So I've had some set backs. My sister moved home from college and I now how no one pushing me but myself. Also, the daycare at the gym closed, so I have no one to watch Corbin while I go to the gym. One other thing has set us back this week and by us, I mean our whole family.
Corbin, my son, got sick last week. We weren't sure what it was. He ran a really high fever and kept complaining that his chest, head and stomach hurt. I took him to the clinic and the doctor made him pee in a cup. She found higher levels of a certain enzyme in his urine so she wanted to draw blood. She called and said his blood sugar was normal, but his insulin and C-Pap levels were low. She told us he has Type-1 diabetes. We go in tomorrow for more blood tests, but she said its only to prove her point.
This came as a shock, as neither Travis nor I have it and neither of our parents do. Corbin is under weight and doesn't each much candy, but they said its a genetic thing. I've been working to learn as much as I can all while trying to understand why him, how he's supposed to live with this the rest of his life and how much is this going to cost. I've pretty much let this consume my life since he's been sick.
I can't help but think of how selfish I am. I know there can be way worse things, but for some reason I can't handle the fact that my three year old will need to have his finger pricked or having to give him shots or having a pumped hooked to him. There is a lot to think about and I need some time to myself.
I'm going to my mom and dads this weekend. Both of my sisters will be there and they told me to bring my running shoes. The 5k is in less than a month and I need to find my game face again.

10 Things We Hate About 2011 [So Far]

Cakes that look like a museum's Mondrians. Seawater cocktails served atop an exhibit on icy bodies of water. And optical illusion cupcakes that mess with your mind.
These days, no self-respecting museum offers shrink-wrapped tuna sandwiches. From the Monterey Bay Aquarium to the MoMAs in San Francisco and New York, museum cafes have amped up the flavor dramatically over the past few years, hiring top chefs and even mixologists to supervise the offerings.
With the opening of the Exploratorium's new digs on San Francisco's Pier 15, the distinction between exhibit space and dining place is being blurred even further, not just visually but experientially.
The food, says Silva Raker, the Exploratorium's director of business development, "is an extension of the experience, the experimentation, wonder, curiosity."
It's a collaborative effort between museum staff and culinary experts: San Francisco chef Loretta Keller and partner Clay Reynolds have launched the aptly named Curiosity Catering to deliver the unexpected at the Exploratorium's Seaglass Restaurant and Seismic Joint Cafe. What's in store are dishes that riff on science experiments, exhibits that flow into the dining space, and noshes delivered by giant tricycles, retrofitted with ice cream machines and espresso makers.
The blend of science, whimsy, flavor and surprise -- the retro drinking vinegars known as shrubs, for example, and a Mystery Seawater cocktail made with local gin, plum wine and a splash of salt water from Half Moon Bay -- adds up to a dining experience unique to the site.
"I really feel like this is an only here, only now vision," Reynolds says, "having the experience created by the Exploratorium continue into the food."
The Seismic Joint Cafe, which fronts the big glass science museum on the Embarcadero, has a takeout window so even nonvisitors can grab fish and chips -- or rather, ethereal, crispy, chickpea-battered pollock with a yogurt-lemon sauce and herb salad, served in environmentally friendly paper bags. The 200-seat Seaglass offers everything from plain pasta to fresh oysters, seafood, tartines and wood-fired pizzas.
The Exploratorium is not the only player in the reinvented museum cafe game. At the Monterey Bay Aquarium, visitors enjoy farm-to-fork, sea-to-plate fare at Cindy's Waterfront, Cindy Pawlcyn's brand-new restaurant in the marine mammal gallery, with views of the surging ocean. The eatery's menu includes the most sustainable seafood choices from the aquarium's now-famous Seafood Watch list, as well as organic, local fare and seasonal cocktails.
The idea, Pawlcyn says, is that "the overall dining experience will function as an interactive exhibit, teaching guests about the impact of their food choices."
At San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art, Blue Bottle pastry chef Caitlin Freeman has been serving art-inspired desserts since the rooftop cafe opened in 2009. Her ganache-frosted, primary-hued cakes pay homage to Piet Mondrian's distinctive graphics, and special desserts accompany each artist exhibition, from Andy Warhol (layered gelee) to painter John Zurier (colorful ice pops).
To see the effect, one need only glance at the cafe's reviews on Yelp, including a post from a Seattle visitor that reads, "Two words: Mondrian Cake."
And at the new SFJazz Center in San Francisco, restaurateur and chef Charles Phan is the mastermind behind the new South at SFJazz, where the New Orleans fare -- chicken gumbo, blackened bass and cocktails such as a Tchoupitoulas Street Guzzle -- reflects the birthplace of jazz.
Phan is no newcomer to this new-wave culinary genre. He and Curiosity Catering's Keller launched the restaurant at the California Academy of Sciences five years ago.
However, what's happening at the Exploratorium (and MoMA, although that museum is about to close for a massive three-year expansion project) may be redefining the museum cafe gig as a collaboration between chefs and curators.
At MoMA, curators share exhibit plans with Freeman and her staff, down to the last detail, long before anything is hung. The process has become so natural and collaborative, she was surprised to discover that other museums don't do the same thing. Prepping for a pop-up at New York's MoMA, she found herself stammering to her East Coast counterparts, "What do you mean, at the cafe you don't know the curators? That is the best part about being in the museum!"
It's the best part for Keller and Reynolds, too.
"The culture at the Exploratorium is so incredibly vibrant," Keller says. "They're so curious and smart and inquisitive, embracing so many different things. Already we've got a lot of plans -- things to trick people and play with people's minds. It's going to be a lot of fun."

From ArachneWiki
A base is the fundamental unit of all DNA sequences. There are four DNA bases - adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine - commonly represented as A, C, G, and T. Hence any known DNA sequence may be represented by a string in a four-letter alphabet: ACCTGAACTT...
All DNA objects are composed of bases (or, in the case of double-stranded DNA, base pairs or bp). Length in base pairs is the canonical measure of an object's size. Sanger reads are around 700 base pairs, while Solexa reads are typically about 35. The human genome is 3 billion base pairs (3 Gbp).
In Arachne
All human-readable Arachne input and output files represent bases with their letters, ACGT. In certain circumstances, though, the exact representation of a base may take on other forms:
- acgt: Putting the four bases in lowercase represents lack of confidence in them. This may denote regions of a read or consensus with low quality scores.
- N: In input reads, this represents a failure of the reading machinery to determine a base's identity. In certain fasta files (including assembly_supers.fasta, assembly_supers.quals, supercontigs.fasta, mergedcontigs.fasta), it indicates gaps between contigs in a supercontig.
- *: In consensus files (generated by GenerateTilings) and in ace files, this represents a pad in the consensus.
- #: In consensus files (generated by GenerateTilings), this represents a pad in a low-quality region -- i.e., where a known base would be in lowercase, per above.
Internally, Arachne represents bases in a compressed binary format. Since there are four different nucleotides, each individual base requires two bits to encode; hence a sequence of N bases can be described most efficiently by 2N bits, or N/4 bytes. The basevector module and the fastb format handle sequences in this way. Note that this format cannot represent ambiguity in the same way that text files do, by using symbols such as acgt and N.
Base lengths are often represented in abbreviated units according to SI naming and abbreviating conventions:
All of these abbreviations may also be followed by "p" for pairs (i.e., Mbp for megabase pairs.)

We had some great days in the apartment. Very central situated, but the place is also very noisy. The bedrooms and kitchen were fine. The bathrooms did the job but are well used. The cleaning could have been better. The layout of the apartment (formerly two apartments) was strange with a door between the two bathrooms as the only connection (besides the staircase) between one of the bedrooms and the rest of the apartment.
The location is very good, wifi was perfect and the apartment is not bad, but there are many bad things you won't like:
- It is extremely noisy, sleeping will be very difficult.
- It has 2 bathrooms, but they are connected by a door and there's one room you can only access through them.
- It was very very dirty.
- Washer machine doesn't work, So, We couldn't try the drier.
- You will only get one towel per person... If washer machine doesn't work, you can imagine...
- It is located in a second floor... there's no elevator.
- Only one TV was working, the one in the dining room.
- Curtains and blinds are not enough, So, rooms are not dark enough to sleep confortably.
- You have to pick the keys up in an office; It is near the apartment and It is easy and fast, but after a long flight, It is a bit unconfortable.
I don't reccommend this apartment.
Fantastic apartment in a great location. Would love to stay there again.
Close to most sites. Apartment was very clean and comfy beds.
Very good location, close to theater district, high line, several subway lines.....rooms were as expected but sofa bed not. Arrangements to get into the apartment OK. Thanks Mo.
This property needs a bit of work. Good location
Arrived outside the apartment, no one there, called, oh since 2 days Rohrbruch, tantamount someone and brings us elsewhere.
Absolute Katarophe, bad location, window pane by a Rigibsplatte replaced (only reingestellt), dirty, no sheets for the sofa bed, shower tray only in a diving suit walked.
The next day, after countless phone calls to get another apartment.
Was slightly better, all the windows available, only,
was still inhabited, shower curtain with a lot of mold spores, had a sofa bed approx sensation 70 years old mattress, no air conditioning (30 degrees), window did not work, the front too loud) Ave. Rear odors through gastronomy. All in all we felt completely ripped off by the host and would never book in life again with him.
Vor dem Apartment angekommen, keiner da, angerufen, oh seit 2 Tagen Rohrbruch, kommt gleich jemand und bringt uns woanders unter.
Absolute Katarophe, schlecht Lage, Fensterscheibe durch eine Rigibsplatte ersetzt (nur reingestellt), dreckig, keine Bettwäsche für die Schlafcouch, Duschwanne nur im Taucheranzug begehbar.
Am nächsten Tag, nach unzähligen Telefonaten ein anderes Apartment bekommen.
War etwas besser, alle Fensterscheiben vorhanden, nur,
war noch bewohnt, Duschvorhang mit jeder Menge Schimmelsporen, Schlafcouch hatte eine ca. gefühlte 70 Jahre alte Matratze, keine Klimaanlage (30Grad), Fenster auf ging auch nicht, vorn zu laut ) Ave. hinten Gerüche durch Gastronomie. Alles in Allem fühlten wir uns durch den Gastgeber komplett verarscht und würde nie im Leben noch einmal bei ihm buchen.
When we arrived home a fine. Host smiling and with a certain humor. Little surprise our housing is undergoing a concern. We offer us alternative accommodation. Smaller but better placed so good we had to adapt. General apartment so this little unforeseen. A very good communication and a host always available.
I recommend
A notre arrive un accueil très bien . Hôte souriant et avec un certaine humour . Petite surprise notre logement étant subit un souci . On nous a proposer un logement de substitution . Plus petit mais mieux placé donc bon il a fallu s'adapte . De manière général appartement ce petit imprévu . Une très bonne communication et un hôte toujours à disposition .
Je recommande
The accommodation has complied with the images. I though it was not clean enough. We had to first clean the sanitary facilities and the kitchen. The beds were stained and there were some hairs on the bed sheet. The location is not Upper East Side but Harlem. That did not bother us as we found it nice in Harlem. For 6 days it was sufficient.
Die Unterkunft hat den Bildern entsprochen. Ich fand sie allerdings nicht sauber genug. Wir mussten erstmal den sanitär Bereich und die Küche putzen. Die Betten hatten Flecken und es waren teilweise Haare auf den Bettlaken. Die Lage ist auch nicht Upper East Side sondern Harlem. Das hat uns nicht gestört da wir es in Harlem nett fanden. Für 6 Tage War es ausreichend.
Although, despite the apartment he was in Harlem and on the Upper East Side as advertised, I can assure you that the 118 str. is a very quiet and well vivibile.L'appartamento but had some negativity is due to the extreme smallness of the bathroom, (when you sat on the toilet with your knees touched the sink also the hot shower was rusty) and to the second bedroom , given for double, even this extremely small so as not to be able to open the window. Also the apartment is on the second floor without elevator. Another negative point is the provision of crockery; in the kitchen is a microwave oven in place a site without an electrical outlet, there was a kettle with no filters and therefore unusable pots and the only available were two padelle.Altro grievance was the opportunity to store luggage in the office when we left the apartment. Avendoci not clear that we would have to tell, when we went to the office which is located on the third floor, we found the broken elevator and the office closed.
Anche se, nonostante l'appartamento si trovasse ad Harlem e non sull'Upper east side come pubblicizzato, posso assicurare che la 118 str. è un luogo tranquillissimo e ben vivibile.L'appartamento però aveva delle negatività dovute sia alla estrema piccolezza del bagno, (quando ci si sedeva sulla tazza con le ginocchia si toccava il lavandino inoltre la vasca della doccia era arrugginita) sia per la seconda camera, data per matrimoniale, anche questa estremamente piccola tanto da non poter aprire la finestra. Inoltre l'appartamento si trova al secondo piano senza ascensore. Altro punto negativo è la fornitura di stoviglie; nella cucina è presente un forno a microonde posto in un sito privo di presa elettrica, c'era un bollitore privo di filtri e quindi inutilizzabile e le uniche pentole a disposizione erano due padelle.Altro motivo di lagnanza è stata la possibilità di depositare i bagagli in ufficio quando abbiamo lasciato l'appartamento. Non avendoci precisato che avremmo dovuto avvisare, quando siamo andati presso l'ufficio che è posto al terzo piano, abbiamo trovato l'ascensore rotto e l'ufficio chiuso.
Apartment is in a good location. It is a bit small or much smaller than it looks like on photos. The service of the owners is horrible. They didn't have extra keys for us, once they brought it three days later they were wrong so I was stuck in the middle of the night without keys to enter the apartment. Plus the servicemen were giving us attitude. Need a lesson in hospitality business.

Good Isn't Enough: What Magical Phone Feature Would Make You Switch?
Along with everything else, Amazon is now officially a phone maker. But as the WSJ's Christopher Mims writes today, it's getting harder and harder for phone makers to convince people to switch from the dominant platforms from Apple and Google.
As Microsoft, BlackBerry, Amazon and others try to build mobile ecosystems of their own, each are discovering that being as good as the competition is nowhere near enough to pick up market share.
What is enough? We asked our readers and some of the WSJ's mobile-addicted staffers this question: What amazing feature would a new smartphone need to have to convince you to make the switch. Here are some of their answers. If you have one of your own, drop it in the comments and we will add it in.
First, from the WSJ crew:
Brian Fitzgerald, tech editor: Free data. A phone I can use however I want, whenever I want, and not worry about the bill. I'm not as worried about the upfront cost of a device as the ongoing costs, especially when it comes to data charges.
Rubina Madan Fillion, social media editor: Make it easy for me, and only me, to access all of my accounts securely. It would have privacy settings that would let me toggle whether or not my location and activity could be tracked. Passwords are easy to hack and difficult to remember, so I wouldn't need to enter a password to access my most important accounts. But it would be difficult for anyone other than me to access them.
Dennis Berman, business editor: Easy — battery life. Battery life or truly wireless battery charging.
Wilson Rothman, personal tech editor: It would have to be something radical, like if I didn't have to worry about bandwidth and storage anymore. Unlimited data and storage in the cloud, make my device really just a portal to everything, without having to think about it. Or give me a device that can somehow do everything: It can be a laptop when I need to work, a phone when I'm on move and a tablet when I'm relaxing.
Allison Lichter, social media editor: Build a phone around security and privacy. If I feel a new phone is going to put higher walls around my privacy and security, then I would switch.
Joanna Stern, personal tech columnist: Nothing. Nothing could make me switch if it didn't come with all the apps I can get right now. Even if it's some amazing phone, but I can't get the apps, what would I do with it? You could give me a phone that lasts three weeks on a single battery, but would I be happy?
And now the readers:

But the rededication of the Pantheon, like the earlier commemoration of all the martyrs, occurred in May. Many Eastern Churches still honor all the saints in the spring, either during the Easter season or immediately after Pentecost.
How the Western Church came to celebrate this feast, now recognized as a solemnity, in November is a puzzle to historians. The Anglo-Saxon theologian Alcuin observed the feast on November 1 in 800, as did his friend Arno, Bishop of Salzburg. Rome finally adopted that date in the ninth century.

STOCKTON – A four-month undercover ATF operation in Stockton has resulted in 55 arrests, 84 weapons taken off the street, and the confiscation of copious amounts of drugs, according to the agent in charge.
In a news conference held this afternoon at the Stockton Police Department, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Special Agent in Charge Joseph M. Riehl said 44 of those arrested will face federal charges, meaning they will not impact California's overcrowded prisons if they are convicted.
The arrests were part of "Operation Gideon IV," a joint operation among the ATF and local policing jurisdictions which in Stockton included the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office and the California Highway Patrol.
The goal: to take some of the most violent criminals off the streets of Stockton and surrounding areas. Stockton has seen a marked reduction in violent crime over the past four months, statistics show.
Among the weapons seized were six machine guns, four short-barrel rifles and two silencers, according to the ATF. They also confiscated approximately 36 pounds of methamphetamine, 21 pounds of marijuana, 100 grams of heroin and 55 grams of crack cocaine.

I'm looking to buy my own frame and put my wheels and other components since there isn't as much variety and selection to picking your own components when buying a new bike.
Does anyone have comments on if it's possible to build your own bike and have it look professional (as I am kind of picky on the way it might look in the end). I'm not that picky on
wheel weight but would like to have some high quality shifter components such as SRAM RED with some carbon aero bars, handlebars, seat with some good quality lightweight aluminum wheels.
Let me know if you have any experience building your own bike. I'd like to hear from non-roadies as well. Ride safe.
It is much cheaper to buy a TT bike rather than building your own. If your lucky and shop around for parts you might be able to match a similar factory built bike's price. If you feel like you need to customize a bikes components it's cheaper to buy a complete bike or used bike and sell the parts your replacing than building your own. Good Luck...
It is possible if you have the vast majority of the parts you need. However, your choice of frame material and the fit you are looking for will be the biggest determinants of which route you should go, even if you do have many of your own parts. If you know what kind of bike you need based on your fit setup, you can start looking for frames that will let you achieve that fit profile. If not, you should get fit first so you know what to look for.
The most bang for your buck can be found by going with an aluminum frame. They aren't the sexiest things out there, but you don't need that. You need the bike to be functional and you need it to fit you. Leader makes a pretty good $400 aluminum frame that looks pro and is pretty aero. It also has a 78 degree seat tube which falls right around what most TT/Tri bikes will offer. http://www.leaderbikestore.com/pd-ld-735tt-2009.cfm. An even cheaper Leader option is the 720TT. The frame isn't as aero and it doesn't look as pro, but it will afford you similar geometry for less than $150. http://www.leaderbikestore.com/pd_ld-720tr.cfm. Do a google search for some pictures of these bikes built up.
Fort Frames is another aluminum frame maker but the geometry is a more relaxed 75 degrees for the size medium. This may not be the correct fit for you so make sure it meets your fit specs. http://www.fortbicycles.com/html/komet.htm.
If you want some carbon fiber sexiness, your best bet will be to go with a well known brand that can offer lower prices due to volume and still provide a crash replacement program. The Specialized Transition frameset will run you $1800 MSRP but you might be able to find a deal on a closeout from last year. http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=45893&eid=4338&menuItemId=12186.
For the same amount as the Specialized, you can buy an entire Trek Equinox 7, but it too has a more relaxed seat angle at 76 degrees. http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/triathlon/equinox/equinox7/
The Cervelo P2 frameset is listed at $2000 and is known as one of the most aero frames on the market. http://www.cervelo.com/bikes.aspx?bike=P22010
If you are looking to stay under $1000, your best bet would be a frame similar to the Leader 735TT, but also to find an aerobar setup that isn't carbon fiber. They will be cheaper and the weight you would save is marginal. Your best choices for spending that kind of money will be in nice aero wheels and a solid aero frame.
So, depending on your fit requirements, personal preferences for looking pro, and the amount of money you're willing to spend, you can build a TT bike cheaper than buying a stock one, but you also need the know-how to put it together and have quite a few parts laying around in order to do it.
Sure can, thats what I did last winter. I got a Leaderz TT frame off ebay, it's aluminum but thats what I wanted. Then hunted for all the componets from everywhere online, whoever had a sale or the cheapest. Did everything in carbon fiber, brakes and levers, TT bars, stem, cranks, pedals and bottles cages. Wheels, I got at Neuvation, and they're great haven't dished one yet! I did whatever work I could myself and took the rest to local bike shop and had them finish it. I love my new bike and put a 1,000 miles on it this year. Saved on ton of money and am proud to say I built my bike.
I have 5 bikes of all different types - mountain, road racing, touring, track, commuter/fixie. The track bike has wheels I built to match the bike. The fixie was an old racing bike that I completely rebuilt with a mix of used/new components. The touring bike isn't done yet but the components look like they belong together - similar styles. You can definitely make it look professional, the trick is to make sure the component styles match one another whether they're used or new and keep to a color scheme. Make sure that anything with color accents goes with the color scheme of the bike/frame. I usually pick 2 or 3 colors for the overall color scheme and then make sure everything with any color doesn't stray from those colors unless it's small and not too noticeable. The used components I give a thorough going over and cleaning to make sure they are clean and work like new.
Having said that, it's still cheaper to buy an entire bike instead of building your own, but then you'll be mostly stuck with what's on the bike. The exceptions may be the saddle and pedals. If you already have a good stock of parts it might be cheaper to build your own bike. To keep costs down try buying slightly used parts. You can get great deals if your careful (sometimes eBay prices are higher than retail) because a lot of people swap out parts that they don't want. To keep costs down I'd stay away from carbon fiber. I have aero bars that are almost just as light and were half the cost.
Good luck.
I'm looking to spend around 2k for the frame and about the same for the rest of the components as long as they are fairly new and not in bad shape. I plan on using it for Time trialing mainly.
Your componets are going to be your biggest pricetag items. They can be picked up at the winter sales. Hell, I've got a pair of Profile Design TT carbon integrated bars siting on my work bench, sell'em to ya. Stem length was too long 110mm. You can do it for 2 grand, I did and I love mine. Going to use Ultegra?
I'd like to SRAM if I can find a good price for it otherwise I may use Ultegra/Dura Ace combo of some kind like I have now on my road.
How would ya do the combo Ultegra/Dur_ace? Didn't know you can combine the two
I would probably use Dura-Ace derailleurs, Ultegra shifters with an Ultegra cassette/chain combo.
www.bikesdirect.com has a brand new Kestrel Talon Tri bike with FSA carbon cranks complete with SRAM RED for $2000.
The aero bars are aluminum but bikeisland.com has some great prices on carbon T2+ bars you can swap out.
Wheels are Mavic Aksiums so they are a little heavy but pretty good rims.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

During a special meeting Wednesday night, Eagle officials were expected to name former Mayor and current Eagle County Commissioner Jon Stavney as the community's new town manager.
The meeting was scheduled after the Eagle Valley Enterprise weekly deadline, but there was little suspense anticipated with an agenda released Tuesday that stated the purpose of the special session was "Recommendation and actions concerning the employment of John Stavney for the position of Town Manager of Eagle."
Last week, manager search committee chairman Joe Knabel announced that Stavney was the top finalist for the job and since that time, the town board has been in negotiations with him to hammer out details of an employment contract. One of the key negotiation issues has been Stavney's current position.
Last November, Stavney was re-elected to his second term as Eagle County Commissioner. He will resign that post effective July 1 and the Eagle County Democratic Party Vacancy Committee will select his replacement. An announcement regarding the commissioner opening and the application process for interested candidates will be made by the county Democratic Party officials.
Stavney will begin work with Eagle May 1. During May, 28-year town manager veteran Willy Powell will work with Stavney as part of the leadership transition plan. During June, Stavney will continue to serve as county commissioner as well as working for the town.
"I'm excited to leverage my contacts across the valley as commissioner to deepen the town's collaborative efforts with other entities and jurisdictions," he said. "The town is a lean, efficient operation already, but we can continue our efforts at proving to those around us that we manage our public business with strategic purpose."
One of the first action items Stavney will face is finding the successor for another longtime Eagle official. Town Clerk and Finance Director Marilene Miller, who has been with the town of Eagle for 38 years, is also retiring this summer.

To be a mom these days is to live with self-doubt.
The never-ending dos and don'ts from friends, family and parenting websites certainly don't help.
Our lives are filled with choices, big and small. Should I have given in to the extra chocolate chip cookie? Am I helping too much with homework -- or too little? Will this damage my kids emotionally? Will that turn them into spoiled slackers?
But once in a while, the self-doubt clears, and you enjoy a well-deserved moment when you're able to proudly say: I'm doing right by my kids. I made a difficult choice, but it will help my son or daughter become a more capable, confident human being. Or, I handled that crisis better than I thought!
For Mother's Day, we'll publish readers' stories about these real-life aha moments, the times you said or did the right thing. What you share will be a tribute to the important job of parenting. It could also reassure and inspire others.
Send your stories of up to 200 words to email@example.com by April 23. Put "Mom's Day" in the subject line.
We'd also love photos. They need to be JPEGs, 400 KB or larger.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Alliston These slacks are perfect for older customers I buy these pants for my 80 year old mother.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Nan T. Polyester sheen The pants fit great and are sized appropriately. My only complaint is that they have a sheen to them that I don't care for.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by L.V. Christmas Giving For Christmas I ordered two pairs of pants for my 92 year old aunt who lives far from shopping malls and does not use the internet. I took a guess on size 12 short but kept the return paperwork in case I was wrong. After trying on her new pants, my aunt determined that they were lovely but too short. I asked her to send them back to me for an exchange but she had already given them away to a shorter lady and was feeling so good about being able to give her someone else such a lovely surprise!

You might not know the names Christina-Taylor Green or Melinda Herman, but their stories dramatically define the emotionally charged debate over high-capacity ammunition magazines.
A student council member at her elementary school, Christina-Taylor, 9, was waiting to meet Rep. Gabrielle Giffords at a Tucson, Ariz., shopping plaza when Jared Loughner opened fire with a Glock 19 semi-automatic handgun equipped with a 33-round magazine, killing six and wounding 13, including the congresswoman.
Loughner's 13th shot ripped through Christina-Taylor's torso, lethally tearing her aorta and several organs. Twenty shots later, Loughner was tackled while trying to reload.
On the other side of the debate is Herman, a 37-year-old suburban Atlanta housewife who protected her two children from a crowbar-wielding intruder in their home last month by emptying her six-shot .38-caliber revolver. Despite being hit five times, the man managed to flee.
Whether there should be a nationwide limit on the number of bullets in a magazine is a question dividing Americans after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. The idea of a limit has picked up momentum on Capitol Hill. But deciding where to draw the line is proving difficult.
Are 10 bullets -- the limit in California and the number backed by many U.S. lawmakers and the White House -- enough? Or should it be 15, the number of rounds police generally carry in their handguns? Do hunters, target shooters or even mothers protecting their children need more?
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday will grapple with those questions when the panel holds its first hearing on a bill by U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would ban 157 specific models of military-style assault weapons and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
Two arguments
Retired astronaut and gun owner Mark Kelly, Giffords' husband, testified to Congress last month that if Loughner had been tackled while trying to reload after 10 rounds, Christina-Taylor "would be alive today."
On the flip side, had Herman's wounded assailant attacked her and her kids instead of fleeing -- or had he come with an accomplice -- she would have needed more ammo.
"This president wants to take away people's rights to own the appropriate tool to repel an invader or invaders into their houses," conservative radio host Lars Larson argued recently on Fox News.
For now, most Americans disagree with Larson. A CBS News poll conducted Feb. 6-10 found 59 percent of Americans favor a ban on high-capacity magazines. A new Field Poll shows 58 percent of California voters feel the state should outlaw the possession -- not just the sale and manufacture -- of magazines with more than 10 rounds.
The public support could mean that limiting the size of magazines is one of two key proposals -- the other being expanded background checks for gun purchases, similar to what California already has -- with the best chance of getting through Congress. Some gun-friendly Democrats who won't vote to outlaw assault weapons have indicated they're open to banning high-capacity magazines.
"Requiring a shooter to reload can provide critical seconds -- seconds for law enforcement to intervene, seconds for people to get away, seconds for people like those who tackled the shooter in Tucson," said Ben Van Houten, managing attorney at the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Magazines with more than 10 rounds were banned nationwide under the 1994 assault weapons ban. But Congress allowed that law to expire in 2004.
The main reason for the renewed attention on high-capacity magazines is their use in most of the latest mass shootings.
In July, authorities say, James Holmes, using a 100-round drum magazine for his semi-automatic rifle as well as a shotgun and a handgun with its own extended magazine, shot 70 people -- killing 12 -- in less than 90 seconds in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater. Those 100-round drums can be bought for as little as $139.99 and are illegal only in six states, including California, and the District of Columbia.
In the Connecticut shooting, Adam Lanza fired an estimated 150 shots using 30-round magazines, which come standard with the .223-caliber Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle he carried.
Law is hard to assess
It's been hard to measure the effectiveness of California's 10-round limit. Those who owned larger-capacity magazines before the 2000 ban were allowed to keep them, and it's still easy to buy bigger magazines in Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and most other states, with no ID required.
Nationwide, about 40 million such magazines are believed to be in circulation, and none of the bills now under consideration in Congress would require giving those up. So any "ban" would take a long time to produce a significant effect for a problem some say is peaking now.
"In the past two years we've seen a rise in large-capacity magazines for handguns," said Oakland police Officer David Wong, who is in charge of checking and cataloging firearms his department seizes.
Wong estimated that about a sixth of the handguns seized in Oakland are equipped with high-capacity magazines, and they're not old ones that predate California's ban. "These are new magazines; we've taken them apart and examined the internals," he said, indicating that they're almost certainly coming in from other states.
A 2004 report for the National Institute of Justice that studied the impact of the 1994 assault weapons ban concluded that guns equipped with high-capacity magazines accounted for a disproportionate share of guns used in mass shootings and the killing of police officers.
One of the shootings that inspired the assault weapons ban happened in San Francisco in 1993, when Gian Luigi Ferri used a pair of Intratec TEC-DC9 9 mm handguns fitted with 50-round magazines, as well as a .45-caliber pistol, during his rampage through law offices at 101 California St., killing eight and wounding six.
Among those Ferri killed was attorney Jack Berman, whose wife, Carol Kingley, of San Francisco, says a renewed limit is long overdue. "I don't think we can just afford to throw up our hands and say there are so many out there that we can't do anything," she said.
Gun owners in California, who have lived with the 10-round limit for more than a dozen years, have a range of opinions about the proposed national restrictions.
Wilderness Unlimited CEO Rick Copeland, whose Hayward-based private hunting club has properties across California and Oregon, said he has grown accustomed to the limit and it doesn't impede his hunting. But, he said, that doesn't make it right.
"Creating laws that don't change anything is just a big waste of time," he said, adding that he'd rather see the state repeal its limit than see the nation adopt it.
Fear of criminals
Gun owner Kevin Silver, a 47-year-old tech executive from San Jose, admits "10 rounds is satisfactory for me in recreational, hunting and defense situations," but he said a 10-round nationwide limit on magazines wouldn't do much to reduce gun crime or lower the body count at mass shootings. Besides, "if something like the L.A. riots broke out in my neighborhood, I would definitely want to have access to a few 30-round clips to protect my family and neighbors," said Silver, quickly acknowledging that the comment might sound extreme.
Fellow gun owner John Simutis, of Concord, said from a self-defense perspective, police are probably the best judges of what magazine size is appropriate -- and they've chosen to carry 15-round magazines.
Civilians should have the right to be as well armed as the police, said Simutis, 63, a retired nurse and computer programmer.
"I deserve the same chance the police have," he said. "My life is just as valuable to me as an officer's life is to him or her."

It could be said that what separates good chefs from truly great ones is mastery of temperature and cooking times. Professional chefs and talented home cooks know that if you want a perfectly cooked roast that is sumptuously browned on the outside and yet still juicy and tender on the inside, guesswork isn't enough. Williams-Sonoma provides the highest-quality thermometers, precision scales and helpful timers – all used by the pros – to ensure that your meal is elegant, amazingly delicious, and flawlessly cooked every time. For exquisite roasts, a proper roasting pan also contributes greatly to cooking quality. When searing in a pan, monitoring the oil temperature is key. If you put meats into oil that isn't hot enough, you won't get the sear you need and precious juices will be lost. Our Williams-Sonoma Infrared Thermometer eliminates the guesswork by allowing you to instantly read your recipient's surface temperature. For measuring food temperature – a whole turkey, rotisserie chicken or a roast, for example – the All-Clad Instant Read Digital Thermometer is accurate, dependable and easy-to-read.
When cooking, and especially when baking, ingredients need to be measured very precisely to ensure optimum results. No one wants to see their beautiful chocolate cake deflate because of too much or too little of one of the ingredients. Our OXO Food Scale – 11lb. Capacity is matchlessly precise and contains a host of features to make weighing easier, such as additive measuring and more. This extremely sensitive scale measures in increments of 1/8 ounce or 1 gram, with a maximum capacity of 11 pounds or 5 kilograms. Having sufficient mixing bowls is a big help as well. And for decorating your finished baked goods, make sure to use the finest pastry tools.

As we celebrate 75 years of conservation success this year, DU's many partners are joining the party. Over the past 75 years, the evolution of DU and the broader campaign for wetlands has been nothing short of amazing. What started as the dream of a few visionary waterfowl hunters has become the shared commitment of some 600,000 DU members and volunteers, as well as millions of other conservationists.
While DU relies on the individual dedication of each of its members, collectively these same members form a force that can't be ignored. The sum of their passion, creativity, and ingenuity is what drives DU forward. The same is true of our partnerships. Our partners inspire us to think creatively, dream bigger dreams, and achieve results that would be unattainable without their help.
A Case Study in Conservation In 2010, DU received a Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant of $783,823 from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's (NFWF) Sustain Our Great Lakes Program to enhance 75 acres of coastal marsh in Manistee County, Michigan. To secure NFWF's backing, DU and its main project partner and owner of the marsh, the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy (GTRLC), expanded the scope of this project to solicit additional support and develop a truly ecosystem-based conservation partnership.

Capitol politicians have a sorry record in handling revenue windfalls, both real and imaginary.
In 2000, the state saw a one-time, $12 billion spike in revenue, thanks largely to a selling frenzy by holders of stock and stock options as a high-tech bubble burst.
Everyone knew that it was a one-time windfall, but then-Gov. Gray Davis and legislators of both parties committed two-thirds of it to permanent spending and tax cuts, leading to huge budget deficits that fueled the recall of Davis.
Six years later, with Davis successor Arnold Schwarzenegger seeking re-election, the state experienced another, albeit smaller, windfall and it, too, was quickly spent, thus worsening the state's budget deficits from the subsequent recession.
At least those revenue surges were real, although short-lived. Two years ago, as Gov. Jerry Brown and legislators faced another budget gap, they solved it -- on paper -- by assuming the state would get an extra $4 billion in revenue, extrapolated from a couple of months of higher-than-expected tax collections.
Everyone in the Capitol knew that the $4 billion was most likely bogus, but it served the politicians' expedient purpose of "balancing" an otherwise unbalanced budget and thus restoring paychecks to legislators that had been cut off because of missing a budget deadline.
Given that history, one is not inclined to be sanguine about how Brown and legislators will handle what could be another windfall.
The state received a big bump in personal income taxes in January -- about $5 billion -- mostly from quarterly payments by high-income taxpayers.
The surge of money occurs just as legislators begin working on the 2013-14 budget that Brown submitted in January, a budget that does little or nothing to restore "safety net" health and welfare services that the Legislature's Democrats cherish.
They may be tempted, therefore, to assume that the windfall represents a permanent new level of revenue that could be used for those services, as they have in the past.
That would be a big mistake, because the windfall may be, at most, a one-time phenomenon and is more likely simply to be an acceleration of taxes that otherwise would have been received later in the year.
Personal income spiked all over the country in late 2012, largely because companies issued dividends earlier than usual to beat a federal income tax increase in January, the Wall Street Journal reported.
That bump was compounded by high-income taxpayers' taking capital gains from recent stock market increases to beat the federal tax man.
Chances are high, therefore, that the January surge in state revenue will be offset by lower collections later in the year, and if that's true, raising spending would be foolhardy -- although in keeping with the Capitol's history.

PharmaMar stops development of phase II compound
11.04.2012 - Spanish drug developer will focus internal resources on its late-stage compounds.
Madrid – Spanish drug developer PharmaMar SA has quit the further development of its Phase II drug candidate Irvalec due to financial reasons. According to the company, the marine-derived cyclic peptide has shown notable activity in a trial to treat gastroesophageal cancer specifically in large cell undifferentiated carcinomas of the esophagus. However, this subtype is relatively rare and represents only 1% of all gastroesophageal cancers. The company, a member of listed Zeltia Group, will focus its resources on other compounds like Yondelis and Aplidin. Yondelis is approved outside the US to treat advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma and relapsed platinum-sensitive ovarian cancers. The conotoxin has additionally been tested as first-line therapy for this indication. Aplidin is in phase III to treat multiple myeloma and in phase II for T-cell lymphoma.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/pharmamar-stops-development-of-phase-ii-compound.html

STOCKTON – A judge today sentenced Aushua McDuff-Brown to 22 years to life in state prison for killing a toddler in a botched attempt to run down another woman.
McDuff-Brown, 23, tried ramming her Ford Focus into a woman in a heated dispute but missed and mistakenly pinned 3-year-old Ruben Richard Ramirez between her car and a store building.
Ruben's mother, Deleshia Mason, says she relives the incident in nightmares every time she falls asleep. She watched helplessly on Oct. 3, 2011, as her son died moments after they arrived to Madison Market for a bag of chips, his reward for being a good boy while his mom ran errands that afternoon.
McDuff-Brown was found guilty by a jury in October of second-degree murder, attempted murder, hit-and-run resulting in death or injury and a weapons enhancement in connection to the murder charge.

Wow. iTunes 11 opens much faster on my 2008 iMac.
How to extract Audio Track from iTunes M4V videos?
Good movies are always companied with melodies. So when you discovered some attractive interlude songs in a film or play which was downloaded from iTunes Store, how can you get the songs from iTunes M4V videos? There are many ways to extract audio from videos, but which is the best way to keep audios in iTunes M4V videos?
iTunes 9 is UGLY!
If you don't want to downgrade to version 8:
Change the ugly version 9 skin to version 8:
http://www.libertypages.com/clarktech/?p=813 (download iTunes.rsrc.2.zip)
To remove the iTunes Store links from your lists:
Open Terminal and type (copy/paste)
defaults write com.apple.iTunes show-store-arrow-links -bool FALSE
btw, I updated to 9.0.1 and I had to download the skin again.
iTunes 9 is just butt-ugly. White background in icon view is a joke...
New iTunes 9 is slow and buggy as hell. I regret updating
iTunes 8.1 offers a major speed improvement for me, as promised. I am running iTunes on a 4-year old 1.8 Ghz PPC G5 iMac with 1.5 GB RAM and was thinking of replacing the computer b/c iTunes was really getting slow with a 125GB music library and several dozen smart playlists. But it is now zippy and responsive. Very impressive upgrade.
Note: for those of you using Doug's apple scripts: some scripts require fixing for compatibility with iTunes 7.7.1.
My mistake: actually the 'unsubscribe' button in iTunes does what I want. (I thought it would remove the podcast subscription and items entirely, as in Google Reader.)
I prefer Miro for video podcasts, as I can tell it not to auto-download new items. I didn't find this option on iTunes, and I didn't like it filling my drive while I didn't have time to watch the already downloaded items.
Miro and iTunes both can resume playback of a podcast item.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Since the 9/11 attacks, scholars have struggled to help Westerners understand what motivates the jihadi movement. Noting that the best way to understand jihadists is to ignore statements they release to the West in favor of examining what they say to each other, Jim Lacey provides a definitive collection of writings that intellectually underpins the movement. Rather than guessing about terrorist motivations from a Western perspective, readers are offered essays including those by the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hasan al-Banna, and a leading early member, Sayed Qutb that define the movement through the eyes of the terrorists themselves. As jihadist cadres begin to rebuild, Lacey notes that they are turning once again to their original thinkers to justify their actions. This project is sponsored by the United States Joint Forces Command.
Jim Lacey is the author of Takedown: The 3rd Infantry Division's Twenty-One Day Assault on Baghdad (978-159114-458-8), $29.95, Hardcover, Naval Institute Press, 2007.
Praise for The Canons of Jihad
"This book should be required reading for every citizen of the United States and the European Union. Jim Lacey has done us all an incredibly valuable service by collecting this illuminating volume of writings. It is not a collection of writing about jihadists; it is a collection of writings by jihadists. As such, it provides an enlightening and, in many cases, alarming insight into the goals, the motives, and the very minds of jihadists. It is very much like reading their personal mail communicating with each other. Canons of Jihad reveals what jihadists are saying to each other, about each other, and about themselves. Every member of any US administration, as well as every member of Congress, should take the time to read this book and reflect upon its implications. That bold statement is very much like recommending, in 1936, that leaders around the world take the time to read Mein Kampf.
It is still one of the best, most readable insights into the mind of the jihadist I have read. Get a copy. Read it. Consider it in light of the recent unrest in the Middle East. Believe it."
