Just checked my fitbit...I slept for 5:15 out of 7:33 in bed (73% efficiency) but the exciting part is that my first stretch was 1:20, getting better!
I looked and felt like an idiot, my kids just rolled their eyes.
Yesterday was a very good day. Day 1 of my challenge. I ate clean, no sugar, no flour, no grain. I had, well I don't know how many servings I had of veggies because at lunch I had 1 1/2C of Trader Joes Healthy 8 Chopped Salad Mix (it has 8 different veggies-in case you had not guessed). I am only going to count it as 2 though since a serving is considered 3/4C ...so that makes 12, 2 of which are fruits.
My STATS:
Protein....171 (I am shooting for 175 to 200-so close)
the fun thing is yesterday I got some sewing done on DD's quilt. It has to be 98"x90", I am actually making it as a duvet cover. I have 3 strips of t-shirt logos sewn together, about a third of the amount I need. She is going to have to give up a few more shirts.

Woo hoo on the sleep!!!!
I do crazy things like run my stairs as well. My family already things I'm crazy, so they aren't too surprised anymore
I saw this awesome sweater - made me think of you - I can't even knit a scarf, but I dreamt of it anyway

funny. I rarely knit things that need sized, because I am not good at transferring the information gained from doing a size swatch.
My DD is starting to give me advice regarding exercise and food. Unfortunately it is pretty much SAD. Which works for her because she has never done anything stupid like, well like any of the idiotic diets I have done, so her body isn't messed up! I smile and try to act like I am following it, so she doesn't get frustrated.
Me too. I often pretend to be following my husband's health advice so that he won't get mad.

I get a lot of advice, too. I have a thin, male, friend. He's always trying to be supportive and motivating. However, he's never intentionally tried to lose weight in his life (in fact, he's trying to gain some muscle weight). I smile. I nod. And I go on with things that seems to be working for me Not that I'm not willing to try new things, but the usual "just count your calories", isn't really going to be enough.

Ok.. NOW I see why I am not married..LOL I have been single so long I would ignore them and that would cause a problem. lol

well, there are some serious pluses to not being married sometimes. And actually single women live longer than married women, less stress!
ok, another fantastic article.....Charles Poliquin's Blog - Tip 403: Make a High-Protein Diet Work For You: Tips To Lose Fat and Be Healthy
I did very well yesterday. I got in 10 non-starchy veggies, 2 fruits (clementines & berries), I was a tad higher in fat than I wanted to be and a bit low in protein, that is because I had eggs for dinner-very good but not a perfect ratio for my current goals.
The other day I measured my waist and it was up 1", a little depressing but I am staying the course because I believe this is the way I can heal my metabolism and hormone balance (as much as reasonable for someone entering menopause). Anyway, this morning I took my pants straight out of the dryer and put them on and normally they would start out a tad snug and by the end of the day be fairly loose. But this morning they are fitting like the end of the day. It is going to take a lot to keep me off the scale tomorrow!
Yesterday's STATS:
I am trying to do about 40% or more of Protein, 40% Fat, and 20% or less carbs. Which really means that the fat in grams should be less than half the protein in grams. This seems to me a reasonable mix. I am not fanatic about it, just shooting for it.
Thankfulness: I have been remiss here! Today I am thankful for a break in the weather, it is starting to cool down, and that is very nice.
awesome news about the pants!!! Such a good feeling! Stay off the scale, your pants tell the TRUE story!!

"If you build it they will come" may apply to some things, but Web pages aren't one of them, David Steele, Intrada partner, said. "There's a lot of people who build Web sites. But without a strategic plan, without the right layout, without a goal you're not always going to get the results that you want," he said.
Intrada's Web developers like to work from those goals, Steele said, to "make sure the results are there."
Manufacturers, health care providers, utilities, retail outlets and cataloging, telecommunications and Web-based robotic management systems have all gone to Intrada to obtain successful Web sites.
Intrada has provided those companies with strategic Internet and application development, E-commerce, custom systems, networking and online security.
In Internet terms, a hit occurs each time a Web site is visited. But the number of hits does not determine a Web site's success. "Hits are great," Steele said. "But what we like to see, more than hits, is people coming and staying, that they're spending time on the site, that they're using the resources. That tells us that they're looking, that they're interested and you have their attention."
Give-aways, discounts and special offers are a few sure fire ways Steele said. A Web site can hold a visitors attention.
Basic information about a company isn't all a Web page needs to be successful. "Why do I want to deal with you?" is a question the site must answer for visitors.
"The industry says you have three to five seconds to capture your audience. So when someone goes to your site, are you telling them what you can do for them? Are you providing a solution? If not, they're just going to move on," Steele said.
Professional photographs to enhance a Web site are provided for customers by Intrada's own photographers. "People are very image oriented," Steele said. "We like to send in professional photographers to shoot pictures. We want to make sure that quality is there. We want to show their personalities," he said of clients.
Outdated and poor quality images is one thing Steele said makes a Web site look dated.
"You can tell a lot about a site from imaging," he said.
Cyber security is an issue that, according to Steele, has become more serious over the years.
"But businesses are not taking it as serious as they should," he said.
The dangers of having a poorly secured Web site include identity theft and theft of financial information.
"If identity or personal information is taken from a business, the business is held responsible, and that could be serious," Steele said.
More and more is being demanded of the Internet as the years go on, he added. "The Web needs to do more for people now. The media's becoming more advanced. People are looking to the Web for answers," Steele said.
It can take one to three months for a client's site to reach the Web. "Everything that we do is designed from scratch. We start from a blank piece of paper when we start working with a client and then we build. We like to identify goals and from there we can build the site," Steele said.
Some companies have internal staff which takes over the Web site after it is completed and launched. Other companies, Steele said, continue to meet with in Intrada to update their site.
"You want to make sure it's current," he said. "If you have returning visitors, you have to make sure your site is fresh," providing new information and keeping visitors intrigued.
Will the Web someday replace the phone book? Maybe. "People don't use the Yellow Pages anymore to look for companies," Steele said. "The Yellow Pages are going away. People are going online to find people."
And with more and more people bringing the Internet into their own homes, accessing the Web is becoming even more common. "It's amazing how many people have it," Steele said of the Internet. "It's amazing how many business don't have a Web site."
For those businesses thinking about creating a Web site, Steele said the process requires more "planning than it takes money."
Almost 100 Intrada Web sites are "active on project sheets right now," Steele said. Other Web pages have been active since Intrada's inception in 2000.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Post and Courier will profile all 19 Republican and Democratic 1st Congressional District candidates by the March 19 primaries. This is the second installment.
Andy Patrick
Birthday: Aug. 5, 1969Education: Bachelor of science from State University of New York-BrockportOccupation: Owns a security consulting firm.Previous offices held: S.C. House (2010-present)Family: Wife Amee, five children.Why I'm running: "I believe in the Lowcountry's values of strong family, strong community and commitment to passing on a better America to the next generation."Proudest accomplishment: "Raising, with my wife, our five children."Contact information: andypatrickforcongress.com; info@andypatrickfor congress.com
Key dates
Feb. 17: Deadline to register to vote in the 1st Congressional District primaryMarch 19: Republican and Democratic primariesApril 2: Primary runoff (if needed)May 7: Special election
State Rep. Andy Patrick of Hilton Head Island said he is proud of his work in law enforcement, with the Secret Service and at the Statehouse in Columbia, but none contain the title he cherishes most: Dad.
The father of five is relatively new to politics, at least as far as running for office himself.
As a Secret Service agent he worked to protect President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, but it wasn't until three years ago that he decided to challenge Richard Chalk, an incumbent House member. Patrick won.
"The greatest job I'll ever have is being a father. My kids are never going to call me Special Agent Patrick or State Representative Patrick or possibly even Congressman Patrick," he said. "I'm always going to be their dad."
Still, he said he believes the broad range of his experiences — with national security, education reform or cutting spending — makes him stand out among candidates in the race.
"I believe I have a message, and I believe that message is sorely needed in Washington, D.C.," he said. "First and foremost, we can't have any discussion unless we talk about spending. We only have to look to Europe to see how the foundations of Europe are crumbling.
"I feel the foundations of America are crumbling also, maybe not as rapidly as they are in Europe, but it's a perfect example of how out-of-control spending will set you on a course ... that is disastrous," he said.
Patrick said he favors abolishing President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, the U.S. Department of Education and agricultural subsidies. He also favors reducing Pell grants to their 2009 levels.
He said he favors keeping the nation's promises to its veterans and seniors, "but we need to reform Medicare and Social Security for guys like me (age 43), who have plenty of time left to plan for their retirement."
As a state lawmaker, Patrick has focused on education, backing bills to expand charter schools and to let home-schooled students participate in public schools' sports and extracurricular activities.
His own children are now in public schools but also have attended private school and been home-schooled.
He is the only Beaufort County candidate among the 16 Republicans running in the 1st District, which also covers parts of Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Dorchester counties.
Beaufort has almost a quarter of the district's voters, and a strong run there could propel Patrick into the April 2 runoff. But he said he will hold many events in the Charleston area to make himself better known here.
Patrick was the first to meet with a local Republican coffee group hoping to host all the candidates one-on-one.
Mark Smith, a Charleston Republican and a funeral home owner, was there, heard Patrick speak and found him qualified for Congress.
Smith said he still has not made up his mind who to support, but said, "I like the fact that Andy is not part of the establishment and appears to be an independent thinker and not concerned about the repercussions of doing what needs to be done."

An increase in the number of buyers attending TRENZ 2012 from emerging visitor markets such as Malaysia, Russia and Indonesia is a positive trend, says the Tourism Industry Association New Zealand (TIA).
On in Queenstown 7-10 May, TRENZ is the New Zealand tourism industry's most important annual trade event. This year 314 of the world's most influential travel Buyers in terms of generating visitor arrivals to New Zealand are coming to talk business with the country's leading tourism operators.
"The presence of Buyers from key emerging markets is significant," says TIA Communications Manager Ann-Marie Johnson.
"It will help New Zealand tourism operators exhibiting at TRENZ gain a foothold in what could be potentially lucrative markets for the future. Countries such as Indonesia, Brazil and Russia have big populations, expanding economies and fast growing middle classes who are fuelling the demand for international travel.
"These emerging markets are also significant given the decline or stagnation in visitor arrivals from some of New Zealand's big traditional visitor markets such as the UK and USA," says Ms Johnson.
China is the largest and most mature of New Zealand's emerging visitor markets, with arrivals growing strongly in recent years.
"This is reflected in the 47 Buyers from China attending this year's TRENZ, up from 41 in 2011," says Ms Johnson.
Nine Malaysian Buyers are coming to this year's TRENZ, more than double the 2011 number.
"Malaysian visitor arrivals grew very strongly over the past year, increasing by almost 67% in the year ending February 2012 to 36,768, generated by economic growth and increased air links out of South East Asia," says Ms Johnson.
Glenn Wedlock, General Manager Aeronautical Business Development for Auckland Airport, says: "South East Asia, in particular Indonesia, is an up-and-coming region with great potential from a tourism perspective."
Visitor arrivals from Indonesia increased 22% in the year ending February 2012 to 11,824.
Seven Indonesian travel Buyers will attend TRENZ 2012, compared with none last year.
"Auckland Airport has been working with people in Indonesia, including New Zealand's Ambassador to Indonesia and to ASEAN, David Taylor, to garner insights into this economically important region so we can identify opportunities to promote New Zealand," says Mr Wedlock.
Ambassador Taylor will attend TRENZ to participate in the Auckland Airport International Speaker Series, which aims to give delegates insights to help them understand and target Asian travellers.
"We have also invited Farrah Quinn - Indonesia's MasterChef winner who has more than one million Facebook followers - to tour the country as part of Auckland Airport's programme to develop premium travel markets, and also speak at TRENZ about her experiences," says Mr Wedlock.
"She will be using her significant social media reach - a channel that certainly can't be underestimated in this market which has the highest number of Facebook users in Asia - as well as her celebrity status to advocate visiting New Zealand."
Three Russian Buyers will attend TRENZ, up from two in 2011.
"Given the distance from New Zealand and the lack of direct air flights, it is unlikely Russia will become a major source of visitor arrivals in the near future, but it could be a lucrative niche market for some sectors of our tourism industry," says Ms Johnson.
Statistics New Zealand figures show Russian visitor arrivals increased by 66% between 2007 and 2011 to 5112, with the majority holidaymakers.
"TRENZ is a fantastic opportunity for New Zealand operators to build relationships with Buyers from emerging markets and to attend workshops and presentations that will help them capture a bigger share of their outbound travel business."

Areas of Research
Women in Society
Womens rights are location (community, culture, religion) and time dependent. For example, while religious Druze women struggle, to gain higher education without being excluded from the religious community and to be able to hold a driving license and own a car in order to gain freedom of mobility both within the intra-rural and the extra-rural space, Jewish, Moslem and Christian women take such rights for granted.
The main research question is: what are the strategies that well-educated and uneducated Arab Druze women use to oppose patriarchal society and the traditions based upon male interpretation of the religions writings? How do these women try to improve their social and economic status?
It is the intention of this research to give voice to Druze women - the uneducated in particular -whose voice has never been highlighted in academic research and discourse. This study aims to explain the structural, social, and religious contexts that inform the strategies used by Druze women, across different education levels and occupations, to resist and navigate their position as inferiors in a traditional Druze society.
The research hypothesis states that the Druze society which is a rural society segregated from Jewish culture and from most of the Arab communities within Israel, fanatically adheres to agnation patterns of the traditional family, meaning the superiority of men over women. The political and social factors combined with the factor of the religious institution, oppress and imprison women: the geographical segregation reduces the chances of integrating Druze women in the national labor market and lessens the chances of Druze women of meeting women from other communities, and particularly from feminist associations. For these reasons, Druze women experience a particular intersection of gender, communal, ethnic, national and even class-based oppressions. This hypothesis is based on Hill-Collins claim (1990, 221-238) stating that the oppression women suffer from, is not solely the result of their common identity as women. Rather, their experiences result from the intersectionality of additional identity characteristics such as race and class, which are mechanisms of oppression not less severe than the gender-identity based oppression.
This study is committed to feminist epistemology and methodology: it acknowledges that social status, gender, sexual orientation, race and nationality, affect the ability to recognize the power relations and the oppression of the others, or voices that are found on the margins of mainstream society (Devault, 1999). This study does not pursue an objective truth, but rather a life experience that can be described and narrated by the Druze subjects holding unique and significant knowledge, intending to put these women in the center and change their status from segregated to active (Harding, 1987, 7; Tuval-Mashiach & Spector-Marzel, 2010, 16 (Hebrew)).

Two after-school programs in DeWitt have decided not to care for children from Edward Smith School in Syracuse who are enrolled in the program until Ed Smith re-opens.
Ed Smith is closed this week after a pupil there tested positive for swine flu. Fabius-Pompey schools closed last week after a high school student tested positive for swine flu. Both are scheduled to reopen Monday.
Officials at after-school programs at both the Jewish Community Center of Syracuse and Rothschild Early Childhood Center at Temple Adath Yeshurun say they worry watching pupils from Edward Smith wouldn't be prudent given health officials' warning that children from the school shouldn't congregate.
"The reason the Department of Health is shutting the school is because they don't want kids to congregate. So we can't have them here," said Marci Erlebacher, JCC executive director.
The JCC's 120-child after-school program includes 29 kids from Ed Smith. Rothschild enrolls 11 Ed Smith pupils in its 80-child after-school program.
Read how some Central New York parents are handling the school closures.

Mr. Marcus is made of high quality PVC. Mr. Marcus has every vein and every crook of the porn star Mr. Marcus. It's got that plastic smell once you first get it out of the box, which fades after several uses and cleanings. I used antibacterial soap on mine, but you can also use toy cleaner.
The design was fantastic. It's so hot to have a porn star dick in your collection, never mind inside you. I am fairly small in the vagina department so he was plenty big for me. I felt that there was ample of Mr. Marcus to enjoy. This toy is not easy to hide, other than you get this cute little bag for it. I wouldn't travel with it for fear of the airlines losing my Marcus!
The toy has a wired control that has two buttons, ON/OFF and speed. Once turned on clicking speed takes you through the patterns of bliss. The best function is the suction cup, you can get fucked by the bed, or the wall, or sit on it and spin. The toy isn't waterproof due to the wired controller. The biggest turn off was the initial smell of the toy, it would give me a headache.
The care is quite simple with PVC, its a very light water resistant toy, so simple antibacterial soap or toy cleaner is fine. It's easy to store in the bag that it came in, and nine inches of drawer space. If you need lube, stick with water based or silicone lubricants.
I loved this toy. I loved sticking that dick to the bed and getting it from behind. It is definitely a toy that I recommend for a single lady in need of some dick. This will leave you satisfied.

After the Trainby Gloria Whelan
Peter Liebig can't wait for summer. He's tired of classrooms, teachers, and the endless lectures about the horrible Nazis. The war has been over for ten years, and besides, his town of Rolfen, West Germany, has moved on nicely. Despite its bombed-out church, it looks just as calm and pretty as ever. There is money to be made at the beach, and there are whole days to spend with Father at his job. And, of course, there's soccer. Plenty for a thirteen-year-old boy to look forward to. But when Peter stumbles across a letter he was never meant to see, he unravels a troubling secret. Soon he questions everything-the town's peaceful nature, his parents' stories about the war, and his own sense of belonging.
All My Noble Dreams and Then What Happensby Gloria Whelan

Living Togetherby Gloria Whelan
We all have to live together, whether we do it with enthusiasm or grace, reluctance or despair. In this skillfully drawn collection, National Book award-winning Michigan writer Gloria Whelan presents short stories and a novella that look at people living together who have reached a crisis point. Whether her characters are old or young, male or female, in settings that are urban or rural, they wrestle with anger, loneliness, and frustration, but ultimately demonstrate bravery, trust, determination, and, often, the ability to learn something new. Whelan considers a variety of narratives about people coexisting, breaking apart, or coming together. The subdued lives of older women are shaken by a scandalous invasion; a man looks around him to discover he will be living the rest of his life in the wrong place with the wrong people; a married couple, grown apart, find themselves locked together; suburbanites reach out tentatively to the distant city; a house and the ghosts who inhabit it change lives. A final section contains Whelan's novella, "Keeping Your Place," which follows a family as their lives and their home change during the years of the Vietnam War. After the loss of her husband, a mother and the three children must make a final visit to their beloved cabin in the woods and come to a crucial decision. Well known for her writing for young readers, Whelan's stories in Living Together will be a welcome surprise for adults who may be new to her quirky, relatable characters and quietly powerful narrative.

Even Aunt Maude's temper will not keep her from striking out on her own exciting adventures. But is Verna ready to confront all the secrets and emotions that have been locked within-even those of her own heart?
Miranda's Last Standby Gloria Whelan
Miranda and her mama have always agreed about everything. So when Mama is offered a job with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show painting scenery, she and Miranda certainly agree that it is time to get out of Fort Lincoln, where they've been doing soldiers' laundry for as long as Miranda can remember. But while Miranda blossoms on the road--meeting Annie Oakley, making friends with an Indian girl, and even participating in the show herself--Mama stews in her hatred of the Indians; she blames them all for her husband's death. And when Chief Sitting Bull joins the troupe, Miranda begins to see that there are two sides to every battle, a vision Mama won't share. Gloria Whelan combines expert storytelling and meticulous historical detail to create a provocative tale that shimmers with remarkable insight into the heart of American history.

The Bush Twins on Their Own
One is Married, Both Have Busy Careers, but Former First Daughters Barbara Bush and Jenna Hager Remain as Close as Ever-They Even Still Do Sleepovers!
Maybe a little, when it comes to cleaning. But in their first at-home joint interview, Jenna and Barbara, 28, reveal something more surprising: Despite spending their formative years in the Texas governor's mansion and weekends home from college at the White House, they are not living the lives of entitled political scions. Jenna works part-time as a reading specialist at a public urban school and is very publicly learning the ropes as a rookie Today show correspondent. Barbara, who runs a group that grants fellowships to recent graduates volunteering here or in Africa, rents a tiny fifth-floor walk-up apartment in New York and takes the bus to visit her sister. A bus? Really? "It's $10 and has Internet," she says. Most shocking: The only children of former President George W. Bush may not be Republicans. "I don't really label myself as Republican or Democrat," says Barbara. Ditto, Jenna: "We're both very independent thinkers."
Today, 15 months after their father turned the White House over to Barack Obama, both sisters say that the only thing they miss about their old life is the staff. "We'd become really close friends with a lot of the residence staff and the Secret Service," explains Jenna, the more vivacious twin to Barbara's more reserved. "Those eight years were amazing, but we're working hard to be our own people." Now they are again in the spotlight as First Daughters as both parents are set to release memoirs on which the sisters consulted and in which they feature.
George W. Bush's Decision Points (due this fall) gives his account of Sept. 11, 2001, as well as of personal milestones, such as when he quit drinking. "He wanted it to be more than a typical memoir." Laura Bush's book Spoken from the Heart (out May 4; see review on page 65), which describes her struggle to have children, left both sisters weeping. "I always knew they were trying to adopt kids when she got pregnant with us," Barbara begins. "But," continues Jenna, "the pregnancy and the fact that she was so sick-her kidneys about to fail. . . . My mother is pretty closed in some ways, so I never knew that. Now when she says, 'I just want my chicks to come home,' you understand where it comes from."
But visits to their parents' new $2 million spread in Dallas take a backseat to their busy lives. Jenna is soon to celebrate her second anniversary with Henry Hagar, 32, who works in finance for Constellation Energy Group. She displays a Martha Stewart streak and, for a recent baby shower, fashioned a centerpiece from twigs and Scrabble tiles spelling "Welcome to Our Nest." A teacher and, with her mom, a children's book author, Jenna surprised everyone by also becoming a TV journalist. "I loved the idea that I could tell stories," she says of her Today segments, which generally focus on education. Given her parents' often rocky relationship with the press, she says, "I was slightly worried what they would think." In fact, the family was supportive. Though, she says, "if they had said, 'You shouldn't do that,' I probably would have done it anyway."
Barbara, who is single, was headed into a career in design (and still makes some of her own clothes on a sewing machine she got for her 12th birthday), before cofounding Global Health Corps (GHC) in 2008, after earning her humanities degree at Yale. With a staff of only four, her New York-based nonprofit puts non-premed grads to work at hospitals and clinics here and in Africa. "The majority [of facilities] don't ask for doctors-they need technical help, management skills." She hopes to fund 500 fellowships within 10 years.
Grandfather George H.W. Bush still thinks both sisters would be great in political office. "Never," replies Jenna. But 41 is proud nonetheless. "When we see them, they're kidding and joking," the first President Bush tells PEOPLE, "but they're very serious girls in what they're doing."
And those who work with Jenna and Barbara say they are hands-on. "The Bushes would never produce dilettantes," says Dr. Mark Dybul, the former U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator now an adviser to GHC. And yet, when it comes to throwing a Bowl-A-Thon to raise money for GHC, Barbara has connections few of her peers can tap. "If you're Barbara Bush, you can call anyone in the world and they will pick up the phone," says historian Doug Wead, an expert on presidential families. And Today cohost Matt Lauer concedes that Jenna has no journalism experience to back up her top-flight TV job. "But she brings her unique perspective," Lauer says, "and is really deep, interested and passionate." In the classrooms of SEED School of Maryland, "she just wants to be Mrs. Hager, the teacher," says principal Jerry Kountz. "She doesn't come with airs, just a relentless belief in these kids."
Despite divergent career paths, the sisters remain uncommonly close. When Today puts Jenna up at a Manhattan hotel, Barbara drags an overnight bag uptown for a sleepover. "The other reason I stay with her is I don't have a TV." Adds Jenna: "We're in the room, and I'll be, 'Can't we read?' And she's like, 'Nope. Is there a Law & Order on?'"
Jenna's husband, Henry, says it's endearing how tight the sisters are-even if he's sometimes crowded out. "It's funny," he says, "sometimes I do feel like I'm married to two women." Coming home from Texas one weekend, he found the sisters asleep under the framed poster of six plump women in sombreros that dominates the master bedroom. "He was like, 'Okay, I guess we're going to squeeze,'" Jenna recalls with a laugh. "So it was the three of us and two cats." Those felines, everyone agrees, are the closest Laura Bush is going to come to grandchildren for quite some time. "Years," says Jenna, adding with her husky laugh: "My mom says she's the proud cat grandmother."
They are also still tight with their folks, who are just a text message away. "I seldom talk to them on the phone anymore," says Laura Bush. "We constantly text each other. I always thought the most fun time would have been when they were babies, but I'm really enjoying our relationship now that they've grown into such accomplished women."
And as they forge those paths, they give a nod to what set them on their way. "Without our parents and all the opportunities they gave us, there's no way we'd be where we are," says Jenna. And, yes, she admits, "When we go to D.C. now, you kind of want to pull into the White House. But then you're like, 'Oh, I don't-I can't.'"

So, so far in our behavior, we have created some of the initial Core JavaScript functions and we have finished our user interface and remember we would refer to that as our Action file. Well, now it's time to link the two together and add our user interactivity into the mix. So you will notice that I have both the styleSwitcher JavaScript and a styleSwitcher.htm file open. So if you are working on this along with me with the Exercise Files, it's a really good idea to go ahead and have both these guys open as you finish these functions out, because occasionally when you are running your own behaviors, you are not going to remember, hey, what did I name that form element? So it's a really good idea just to kind of pop back and forth, so you can make sure that you're naming everything exactly what it needs to be named.
All right, so I am going to switch back to the styleSwitcher JavaScript file and I am going to scroll down to the last function that we added in our previous exercise, and that would be the Behavior Function. So I am going to scroll right below that, and we will go ahead and add another single line comment. Now, the function that we need to add this time is the applyBehavior Function. So I am going to do a single line comment to let people know, what this function is doing. I am going to type in, Returns the value entered into the user interface, and then passes that to the function call.
Okay, so what does this function do? Well, what this function is going to do for us is if somebody is using your Behavior and they have a link highlighted and they go up to the Behaviors panel and say plus and then chooses Behavior, this function is going to take care of which script is called In Run and what events are added to the link that they had highlighted. So we will go down to the next line, and I am going to type in, function applyBehavior, and I am going to open and close a parentheses. I will open up a Curly Brace, and as a habit, I am going to hit Enter twice and close our curly brace. Again, that always ensures that we have a both an opening and a close.
Okay. So we are going to go ahead and establish a variable and we will type in theName, and we will make its value equal to document.theForm.title.value and type in a semicolon. So okay, well what did this do? Well, theName is a variable that doesn't exist until now, so we can do that in JavaScript. We can just create variables anytime we want to and put any value we want to into them. So the value we are putting into them is using Dot Syntax and dot syntax is a way of navigating through a document structure.
So we are saying Documents, we go into Current document and then we are saying theForm. So find an element named theForm and if you remember, that is what we named the form in our Actions file in the previous exercise. Then we're saying, find an element called Title. That would be the text field that the user is going to type into. And then finally, we are saying, we want you to retrieve the value from that. So it's going to pull whatever value is currently inside of that text field. So we will go down to the next line and type in return and then in quotation marks, setActiveStyleSheet and really be careful of your capitalization and your spelling there. Open up a parentheses and then close your quotation marks, and type a plus symbol and type in theName, another plus symbol, open up a quotation mark, close the parentheses, close your quotations, and type in a semicolon.
Okay. Now, that may seem kind of odd to some of you who are not familiar with JavaScripting or any type of object oriented programming. So let's talk about what we have done just there now. Anytime you use Return, you are sending something out of the function. So after the function is called and has performed all of the tasks, it's going to return a value. In this case, it's returning another function call, and that function call is setActiveStyleSheet and then a value passed into it. Now, the reason that we are using all these quotation marks is because we are concatenating the value. So setActiveStyleSheet and its two parentheses are literal string values. That means it's just one letter followed by another letter. It doesn't have any intrinsic meaning right now.
But the name on the other hand is a variable and it needs to be evaluated, what is the value of the name. That value is going to be equal to whatever has been entered into the form. So essentially, what we are doing is we are doing the setActiveStyleSheet function call, but we are adding to it the value of whatever has been typed into the interface. So now, we can go down to our final core function and our final core function is going to allow people to modify our behavior once they have applied it. For all, in terms of purposes, our behaviors are now finished. But it wouldn't really be of that kind of a behavior if somebody couldn't edit it.
What happens if they type in a wrong style sheet name or they decide that they want to change the style sheet later on? Well, if you didn't add this next function, they wouldn't be able to do that. So I am going to go ahead and type in a single line comment, and I will enter in, Allows user to modify the behavior after initially applying it. So you don't have to be that robust with your commenting, you just want to identify exactly what this function is doing in a nice, succinct manner. We will go ahead and define another function. So type in function, and after that, I am going to type in, inspectBehavior.
Now, our other core functions weren't really expecting any arguments to be passed into them, but this one does. And the argument that this one is going to be looking for is enteredStr, entered String. So I will close my parentheses, open up a curly brace, hit Enter twice again, close the curly brace. All right, so now we are ready to go ahead and enter the code for the inspectBehavior function. Now, it's expecting one value to be passed in and that value is Entered String. So the first thing I am going to do is just go ahead and declare a variable inside this function, and I am going to type in var argArray.
Now arg is going to be short for argument. So this is basically an array of arguments and it's another way of just saying, it's an array of statements. So I will go down to the next line and I will do a single line comment. So you can actually do commenting in the middle of a function. That's fine. And then I am going to type in, calls a function from the shared string.js file. Now, when we built our action file, in the head of our document, we linked to a shared JavaScript file that Adobe supplies for us and this contains functions that's going to make inspecting our behavior a lot easier and you will see that in just a moment.
I am going to go down to the next line and I will type in another single line comment here and we will type in, this will retrieve the string entered by the user. So we know what our next line of code is about is about to do. So on the next line of code, type in var argArray. But we are going to go ahead and assign a value to it now. So equals, extract args, plural, and then open up a parenthesis and type in enteredString. That's the value being passed in through the function.
So go ahead and type in another semicolon. Then we will do another single line comment inside the function and type in use an array value of 1, since the first item returned is the name of the function called. And unfortunately, sometimes you have to be for both when you're doing your comment. All right, now we will type in document. theForm.title.value equals argArray and then in bracket notation, not parentheses but bracket notation, type in the number 1, type in the end of your bracket and type in a semicolon. Now be sure to save your file.
Okay. Well, let's talk about what this is doing. Well, we have a variable called argArray and it's storing a set of strings. So we are actually creating an array. An array can store more than one item inside of it, and as it stores those items, they are given a number. The numbering of arrays always starts with zero, so you start with zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven so forth and so on. So if you are looking for multiple values to be returned, you can store them in array and then you just ask for whichever value you need. Well, the value of argArray is a function call and the function call is extractArgs entered string. So the extractArgs is actually a function in that shared JavaScript file that we linked in our action file.
What the extractArgs function does is it peruses your entire document and it will find any string values that had been entered into this particular form. So anything has been entered into this form will be returned as an array. Now as the array returns, the first item in array and that would be zero, if we remember, the first time in the array which we numbered zero, will be the name of the function that's called. After that, will be a list of strings that were passed into the function. We are only interested in the first one, which would be whatever value somebody typed in. So since the first item is actually going to be the name of the function call, we need to pass in one, which in reality is the second item. That seems confusing, until you are used to using arrays, because you always know the first number is zero and then after that, it's one, two, three, four, five.
So our behavior is pretty much finished. In our next exercise, we will add a nice little bit of usability to our form by establishing focus on the form element when the dialog box originally opens.

Maxim Healthcare Services' homecare offices are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) for our private duty nursing and certified home healthcare programs. The ACHC is a national, non-profit organization that provides voluntary accreditation programs for various providers, including home health and hospice agencies, home infusion companies, homecare aides, specialty pharmacies, and home medical equipment suppliers. The ACHC is firmly committed to requiring what is right and best for the patient.
Accreditation is another form of consumer protection. It consists of a professional peer review administered by a private, non-profit organization, such as the ACHC, structured to establish higher standards than what is required by the state or federal government. Accreditation is a key benchmark for measuring the quality of an organization, providing a way to measure organizational management, processes, patient safety practices and service outcomes.
When seeking services from a homecare company, it is important to keep in mind that not all home healthcare organizations are alike. The quality of homecare can differ significantly from one organization to another. Many, but not all, states have established licensure laws for these types of companies as a protection to the consumer. These laws typically establish the minimum requirements for doing business in that state. All Maxim homecare offices are licensed, as required, and our private duty nursing and certified home healthcare programs are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC). Homecare organizations such as Maxim that have earned accreditation are more committed to maintaining the quality of services they provide. Learn more about homecare services with Maxim by visiting www.maximhomecare.com.

Arlington Road
Why does listening to Jeff Bridges give me the impression that somebody just injected his face with a turkey baster full of Novocain? Did he have an accident? A stroke? Did he eat a few dozen peanut butter sandwiches and then run out of milk? Or did a random moviegoer sock him in the mouth in retaliation for "White Squall"?
"Arlington Road" is basically "The Parallax View" for the '90s. Bridges plays professor Michael Faraday, who thinks his neighbors, Oliver and Cheryl Lang (Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack), are Mr. and Mrs. Unabomber. This would be great if he had any proof, but mostly Faraday is just paranoid because his wife, an FBI agent, was killed during the raid of a right-wing gun-nut compound. Fortunately, his former teaching assistant, Brooke Wolfe (Hope Davis), is around to soften that particular blow.
"Arlington Road" is a film that understands suspense like Jesse Helms understands Hip Hop. Since something odd is going on in the Lang household, spooky music has to drown out every single interaction between Faraday and Lang, or between their respective kids. Isn't it enough that the Lang kids look like castoffs from "Village of the Damned"?
If Faraday wanted to make it any more obvious that he thought Lang guilty of something, he could have worn a sandwich board that read "Blink twice if you're the Unabomber," because whenever he speaks to Faraday, Faraday appears as though he's got the runs and needs to find a potty real quick. Director Mark Pellington's message is that the terrorist network is more complicated and insidious than we ever imagined. This should do wonders for communities across the country, where neighbors everywhere are already exercising their Second Amendment right to gun each other down over untrimmed hedges and barking dogs. Could it actually possible for Americans to be more paranoid?

Regular EW readers will know that I'm a huge fan of the utterly berserk new movie Hobo With a Shotgun, a homage to low-budget '80s action movies in which Rutger Hauer stars as a hobo with a handgun. (I jest, of course, at least with regard to his character's choice in weaponry). Alas, the film isn't available on VOD until April 1 and won't hit cinemas until May 6. Oh, laws of space and time, how you mock us!
The good news is that you can watch (right now!) the equally crazed Treevenge, a short film director Jason Eisener made a couple of years back to drum up interest in a feature-length movie after his original Hobo clip won a Grindhouse-related fake trailer contest. "Treevenge is what helped sell the feature film to the financial backers," Eisener told me recently. "All we'd done before, that people had really seen, was the two-minute fake trailer. It didn't show we could handle narrative. It didn't show how were were going to handle violence, the comedy, in Hobo."
Treevenge, on the other hand, very much shows Eisener's take on both comedy and, notably, violence. While the first half of the film is a Yuletide tale told from the perspective of Christmas trees – it's sort of a Schindler's List for conifers – the second finds the foliage wreaking an extremely bloody revenge. I could list the reasons why the result is NSFW but frankly I don't want to be working all weekend. I've also embedded the "real" and really gory Hobo trailer.
Consider yourself warned!

A family in a Côte-des-Neiges apartment at 3055 Linton, is fighting to get money from their landlord because they say he didn't tell them the place was infested with cockroaches before they moved in.
Lauren Smilesteen says she and her husband noticed the cockroach problems within days of moving in.
"They were in the bedroom, they were in drawers, crawling in our night table, on our feet," Smilesteen told CJAD.
She said they've been looking for a new place to live but with a two-year-old son they can't leave until they know they have somewhere to go.
She says her landlord didn't tell her about the cockroach problem and he should refund them for the time they spent living in unbearable conditions.
"We would have never moved in if we knew there was a cockroach problem!"
The landlord says he thought the cockroaches were gone, that he won't give them any money back but he'll let them break the lease whenever they want.
When asked if he'll let the next tenants know about the cockroaches he said:
"I don't have to tell CJAD what I'm going to do and there won't be cockroaches because we're taking care of it," Aaron Grosz said.
Tenants-rights advocate Ted Wright says landlords are not under the legal obligation to tell new tenants about cockroaches unless a city inspector determines the apartment is unliveable.
Smilesteen says she plans on bringing in city inspectors.

"This choice was perfect for me and my baby shower party favors. My order was deliveedr a day earlier than the suggested time, and the stickers were the perfect size and easy to remove from the backing and apply to the gift. I will definitely order other products! Thanks."
"I love these and I love that you can create cute cupcake decorations by placing these on top. What a great way to decorate birthday cupcakes at a reasonable price!"
"Great idea for favor size boxes, treat bags, candy buffet labels. Going to order more for other ideas for my daughters shower."
"These are very classic and chic and will look nice on stationery or packages. They are a bit smaller than I expected but the dimensions are given so it was just my perception that was off there. They are nice quality, not too thick, but that's to be expected with the great price."
"These are super cute. We are using them to stick on little treat bags for our daughter's birthday treats for her preschool class.. We had then printed to read Lily's 2nd Birthday! They are great!"

Since I appraise all types of antiques, I provide a variety of information about a wide array of objects.
I try to dispel the myths that are notorious in my field.
Here, I'll share some antiques information from diverse areas of the collecting field.
Article Photos
Did you know these facts about art, antiques and collectibles from the 1900s?
In the early years of the 1900s, gathering in the parlor around the hearth was a longstanding tradition in many American homes. This cultural phenomenon inspired the architectural designs of the famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright who reminded us to focus on family and the fireplace.
Many of Wright's famous buildings were focused on a design element centering on the hearth. In fact, this idea dating back to the early 1900s also sparked the group activity that we now refer to as "family game night."
Printing parlor games
Since the Industrial revolution made life easier for many people during the early 20th century, there was more leisure time to enjoy each other's company.
Parlor games quickly grew in popularity and they were produced using color lithography. Color lithography attracted many to certain games via its vibrant printed images of popular sports, animals and travel sites. Lithography was invented around 1820, but it wasn't used widely until the 1880s.
Who used it? Big game manufacturers such as Parker Brothers, Milton Bradley and McLoughlin Brothers used it. Lithograph floor games like skittles and animal pin bowling featured printed images of animals. These games sell for upward of $250 in excellent condition today.
Fused formaldehyde
There is a simple way to tell if you have a piece of bakelite or not. Bakelite is the early plastic invented by Dr. Leo Baekeland of Yonkers, N.Y., in 1907.
Rarely marked, bakelite was used by many fashion houses for costume jewelry and other accessories. Since bakelite objects were typically molded and fused together, the easiest way to tell if you have a piece of bakelite is to look for the mold line or for the fused seam.
Bakelite is not flammable so if you rub your fingers over the piece in question to make friction and you smell formaldehyde, you probably have a piece of bakelite. This testing method will not harm your piece like some of the other testing methods, because bakelite is formed from a combination of carbolic acid and formaldehyde.
Shallow stems
Glass flower stem holders known as flower frogs came onto the scene in 1914 about the time when the Japanese art of ikebana flower arranging came into fashion.
Flower stem holders with holes to host floral stems were designed to sit in a shallow bowl of water like their namesakes. With a flower frog, any bowl could be turned into a floral display vase.
Flower frogs fell out of favor with the introduction of oasis floral foam - that green stuff in which you can stick a stem - in 1954. Today, old flower frogs range in value from $5 to $100 depending on maker, condition and material.
Test your breath
There was an early version of the breathalyzer test used to measure blood alcohol content.
Developed by an Indiana biochemist named Dr. Rolla Harger in 1931, the first breathalyzer test was known as the Drunkometer.
Indiana state troopers first used the Drunkometer on New Year's Eve in 1938. On the scene, police officers using the Drunkometer had to complete complex calculations to figure out a drivers' blood alcohol content.
Today's breathalyzers, which were introduced in 1954, do not require police officers to do any math!
Mickey gas mask
The Sun Rubber Co. of Ohio made children's toys of molded rubber featuring popular cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse.
During World War II, the rubber company produced a Mickey Mouse gas mask for American children to use in the event of a chemical attack.
These little-known facts about cultural objects from the 1900s help us further understand the American century.

Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger just can't get no satisfaction with the band's former financial adviser, who has written a tell-all book about his time with the band.
Prince Rupert Loewenstein's book 'A Prince Among Stones' provoked a furious reaction from Jagger, who is unhappy with revelations about the band's personal financial affairs.
Loewenstein was the Rolling Stones' financial adviser for 40 years, advising the band during their first experiences as tax exiles in France during the 'Exiles on Main Street' era and guiding them to their subsequent multi-million success.
Referred to at one time as "the human calculator", the Bavarian aristocrat describes himself as a combination of "bank manager, psychiatrist and nanny" to the band.
