Prescription Ski Goggles
Prescription Ski Goggles from the world's most respected ski goggle and snow goggle manufacturers at the lowest prices allowed for Authorized Dealers make the perfect addition to your mountain gear. All of our Rx Ski Goggles utilize a prescription insert behind the goggle lens. By moving this prescription lens further away from the heat of your face the lenses are much less likely to fog than everyday prescription glasses under a goggle.
All manufacturers here have models with mirrored lens options that will hide an Rx insert, and venting designs that maximizes airflow in order to combat fog. Most goggles listed here have a spherical goggle lens. This will minimize distortion in the top and bottom of the lens.
Skiers who want their prescription lenses mounted directly in the ski glasses as opposed to an insert can choose from several ski glasses listed at the bottom of the page. These prescription ski sunglasses have a removable foam eye seal, so they can also be worn as regular sunglasses.
The Best Rx Lenses on the Planet. The Lowest Prices on the internet. (for Free-Form lenses)
< Frequently Asked Questions > ALL Prescription Ski Goggles below are IN STOCK!
Prescription Ski Goggles - Universal Insert Info
Prescription Ski Goggles and snowboard goggles are rapidly becoming one of the hottest items on the slopes this year. For years, skiers thought their only options were either wearing glasses under their ski goggles, which is very uncomfortable, or wearing contacts that can become a big problem if they pop out at the wrong time. The universal prescription ski goggle insert from ADS Sports Eyewear is helping people fall in love with snow skiing and the mountainside all over again.
How the Universal Prescription Ski Goggle Insert Works and Installs:
The insert installs behind the ski goggle lens. The arms of the insert grab the inside of the goggle to keep it in place. Hold the insert on the bottom of the frame, then position it so that the top of the insert will go into the goggle first. Tilt the insert forward and press the top to the top of the goggle, then tilt the bottom in until the nasal portion of the insert rests on the nasal portion of the goggle.
About our Rx Lenses for your Prescription Ski Goggle Insert:
ADS Sports Eyewear uses the latest Rx lens surfacing technology in all of our prescription eyewear. This new tech is called 'Free-Form Digital' surfacing. Digital means that it is surfaced entirely by computer aided machinery. Free-Form means that your prescription is recalculated at every single point on the back of each lens. This creates a high definition optical map on each lens. Free-Form gives you a much larger optical center or 'sweet spot' and eliminates the "Fishbowl Effect" associated with putting prescriptions in wrapped frames.
Prescription Ski Goggles vs. Wearing Glasses Under a Ski Goggle:
1. Prescription ski goggles with an Rx insert will experience less fog because the insert is further away from the heat of your face, and it is in the natural venting channel of the ski goggle.
2. Rx Ski Goggle inserts are more comfortable than having the goggle press eyewear temples against your head.
3.There is a significant risk of losing or damaging standard prescription eyeglasses in a fall. Prescription goggle inserts are designed to hold up to these routine occurrences.
How do prescription ski goggles work?
Prescription lenses are always a separate right and left lens. Therefore, to put a prescription in any eyewear that has a 1-piece shield lens like a ski goggle will require a prescription insert. All prescription goggles featured on this site utilize an optical insert that installs behind the actual goggle lens. READ MORE
Should I wear my prescription glasses under my ski goggles?
While there are ski goggles that are designed to be fitted over a pair of prescription goggles (known as OTG or Over The Glasses goggles), it is still not an optimal choice. READ MORE
Why are my ski goggles fogging and how do I prevent this from happening?
The basics of ski goggle fogging are pretty simple: If warm air hits a cold lens it is going to fog. Ski slopes are cold. Your face is warm. So the challenges here are obvious. Prescription ski goggles will have 3 surfaces where fogging can occur: The inside of the actual goggle lens, and each side of your prescription lenses. There are a few ways to keep fogging to a minimum. READ MORE
Which lens color should I choose for my ski goggles?
When everything is some shade of white, contrast is very important. Shades of copper are a very effective way to this, and most manufacturers offer this in a variety of light transmission levels. READ MORE
What is a spherical ski goggle lens and how does it help me?
A spherical ski goggle lens is a bubble that matches the curve of your eye, so light will always travel straight through the goggle lens enroot to your eye. In a Cylindrical goggle lens your vision through the top or the bottom of the lens will be slightly distorted by the angle of the lens compared to the direction that light is passing through the lens.

Paris Asian Restaurants Offering Haute, And Hot, Cuisine
By Paige Donner
Paris Local Expert
When I have a taste for Asian food, there are two neighborhoods I head to in Paris : Chinatown and Little Japan Town. The former is in the 13th arrondissement (Metro Olympiades) and is a whole street lined with Chinese diners where you can see people shoveling mouthfuls of sticky rice and spoonfuls of aromatic broth and noodles into their mouths. The street is anchored by Tang Frères, the Chinese grocery store emporium (a delight with a fantastic takeaway counter, too !).
For Japanese hankerings, I love to wander along rue St. Anne just off of Avenue de l'Opéra. This little neighborhood is chock full of noodle shops, yakitori restaurants and a few sushi restaurants. Though indeed some are better than others, on the whole you really can't go wrong just wandering into any of these restaurants for a quick meal.
For really spectacular dining, and in a few cases gastronomic Chinese and Japanese cuisine, I have gathered together here on this list several Paris addresses that are truly outstanding. In the world of food there is an established link between the cultures of French and Japanese chefs. Perhaps it's the commonality of the strive for excellence and mastery of savoir-faire ? At any rate, some of the best, most authentic Asian food you'll find anywhere on the planet is here in Paris.
Le TIGrr
This is the kind of restaurant you go to for dinner when you want the excitement of a club atmosphere but good quality food, too. Taking the scene by storm, this Paris restaurant-bar follows on the heels of their successful openings in St. Tropez, Megève and now Courchevel, too. That in itself sets the tone for the kind of clientele they are going for and attracting. The not overly-complicated menu offers delicacies like scallop-filled dim sum and crab spring rolls. Their mains can range from spicy beef served with banana-leaf wrapped Thai sticky rice to sea bass steamed in coconut cream. In other words, you can't go wrong. And the mixologist even has a few suprises on his menu, like the Spicy Jack. Difficult to describe this sweet and spicy cocktail so you will just have to stop by and see for yourself. (01 42 02 23 23)
Chez Ly 17ème
This location is the original one and it's the more intimate one. The food is of the same high quality and hands down it is the best Chinese restaurant where to enjoy pressed duck and spicy Pekinoise soup in Paris. The humble exterior belies the cozy atmosphere you'll find inside where the generously proportioned tables comfortably seat parties of two, four and more. The plates are also of generous proportions and one order is enough to share among two to four people. The restaurant is particularly well-known for its fish but the duck, pressed or in a honey-ginger sauce is a favorite of regulars, too. This restaurant is owned and operated by a husband and wife team and the care they take in service and choice of quality products shows. (01-40-53-88-38)
A young duo, Marky and Leo, got together well over a year ago now and opened up this Asian fusion restaurant. The district is a hopping one, just off rue Richer, which is laden with popular eateries. A tiny restaurant with bar stools for seating and elevated tables, the kind you find in Japan, lend an authentic air to this restaurant. On the menu are Japanese-inspired gyozas and Chinese-inspired dim-sum or steamed dumplings; for the mains you have Pad Thai along with a seafood ceviche medley. A rarity in Paris, there is a good selection of sake cocktails on offer, too. Both owners have spent significant time in Asia and/or have Asian roots and their menu reflects their favorites from the respective countries, Japan, China, Vietnam and Thailand. (01 47 70 50 88)
La Table du Vietnam
This brand-new gastronomic Vietnamese restaurant by My Nguyen took the place of the long-standing Nabuchodonosor. Hence, a more distinguished location in the 7th arrondissement, just near the Eiffel Tower, is hard to find. The concept of gastronomic Vietnamese is a cutting-edge one in Paris. With so many Vietnamese mom-and-pop diners here in the city, it was about time that we were introduced to the fineness of this Asian cuisine with its 100+ years of French finesse and influence. Soft woody tones of purple and ochre greet as you are seated and gaze at the handpainted silk wall tapestries. The weekday lunch menu is a deal and for under 20euros you have a crab and mango salad served with steamed dumplings and mini spring rolls. But if you really want a treat, go for the soft shell crab, very simply flash fried and then served with salt and pepper. (01 45 56 97 26)
This is one of the best places in St. Germain for a quick, delicious lunch. The restaurant is bigger than it appears from outdoors since there is seating up on the mezzanine. Nonetheless, on any given weekday it can quickly fill up and you will see little bamboo boxes of steamed dumplings flying up from the kitchen in rapid fire. Ok, perhaps a slight exaggeration, but the dumplings are the house specialty and their lunch offerings include six different kinds of dumplings served with a soup and a salad or choice of steamed rice. Drinks here include a nice selection of oolong teas and even exotic fruit juices such as mango and litchi. (01 43 54 94 56)
Considered one of Paris's best-loved Japanese restaurants, this much-favored venue plies patrons with fresh, amazing sushi. It and sashimi, in fact, often draw the largest crowds. If that's not your preference, tempura dishes make ideal choices as well. You can opt for the "tapas" size to taste different specialties. A soothing interior contributes to the appealing experience. The lunch prices are exceedingly affordable and if you opt for the set menu you can get away with under about 20euro per person. Dinner gets a bit pricier and sometimes harder to squeeze into the tiny space. But whether lunch or dinner, if sushi is your thing, this place is oh so worth it. (01 42 96 26 60)
Madame Shawn
The Thai woman who is Madame Shawn, started off working in several of the larger Thai restaurants when she first arrived in France. A couple of decades later, she now has eight restaurants and counting to her name here in Paris. The newest is this chic Bastille address for whom she commissioned designer Charles Zana for its up-do. Olive greens and wood dominate the furniture choices while a spicy red neon ceiling lighting fixture/ art installation lends pizzazz. Most of the main dishes here are conceived of for sharing between two. So a 16euro main dish actually is enough to feed the both of you. One of the signature twists here is the Pig's Tears, a play on the famous Tiger's Tears dish : thin filets of pork, marinated in honey and asian spices and then served with lettuce leaves, sprigs of mint and a lightly spicy sauce. (01 43 72 63 14)
Shang Palace
When this restaurant opened at the exquisite Shangri-la Hotel several years ago, it was with much fanfare as Paris's first haute-cuisine Chinese restaurant. It has lived up every inch to its reputation since then. The restaurant is in the bottom level of this Napoleon IIIrd mansion that was refurbished as a Palace Hotel and is furnished in Sino-Franco elegance throughout. The menu is faithful to authentic Chinese cuisine as you would find in the provinces, with little to no Western re-interpretation. The tea menu is extensive and one of the chef's passions is to imagine pairings with the rarest of Chinese teas. If you've never had Chinese haute-cuisine, authentically prepared with genuine ingredients, this is worth trying. And the setting's luxuriousness offers a welcoming atmosphere. (01 53 67 19 92)
Toru Okuda
Chef Toru Okuda's first restaurant opening outside of Japan was here in Paris in the fall of 2013. He has already been awarded with his first Michelin star here. In Japan he has two and three stars already between his two Tokyo restaurants. He is considered a master of Kaiseki cuisine, Japan's highest culinary art that originates from Kyoto. This means that the meal is always a set menu based on what the chef proposes that day. You can expect appetizers, soup, sashimi, three main courses and dessert. This holds true for lunch and dinner. Another talisman of Kaiseki cuisine is that the food is cooked on woodchip stoves or by steam, never by fire. The chef uses inspired condiments such as fresh wasabi and nori soaked in sak�. Count on between 160 to 200 euro per person for lunch or dinner. (0140701919)
Décor reminiscent of the Ming Dynasty and intended to evoke the elegant atmosphere of a Chinese opera, Lili sweeps you into its refined haute gastronomy Cantonese cuisine the instant you enter. The preface is tantalizing, too, as you walk the long white marble corridor from the lobby entrance of the Peninsula Hotel to the entrance doors of Lili. High ceilings, where the original cherubic angels of the former once-Majestic hotel have been preserved, allow generous doses of natural lighting, all the better to show off the splendor of this dining room. The chef, Chef Tang, has been with The Peninsula group throughout several hotel openings, so you are in trusted hands here. For lunch, their tasting menu of dishes of dim-sum served with a main course, such as beef in oyster sauce, is light, tasty and tantalizing. The service is discreet and allows for unhindered business discussions and private conversations. (15812 2888)

We conduct investigations into paranormal activity from a scientific, yet Christian perspective. We are a non-profit corporation, and we do not charge for our services if we accept your case. So much about paranormal investigation is misunderstood. Sometimes, teams investigating the paranormal can be very immature and seemingly on a quest merely to have fun - as if it were a Halloween party. We are the exact opposite. We do not view ourselves as ghost hunters, but rather as spiritual activity investigators. Our desire is simply to help other people to understand what is likely occurring - or not occurring. We understand that we are coming into your home or place of business, and that we are guests. We are led by older professionals (law enforcement, medical, clergy, for example) who know how to treat people and understand what you are going through. Our Credo, is that all of our investigators have the following 8 characteristics: Deep Faith, Spiritual Warfare know-how, a Healthy Skepticism, Technological know-how, Honesty, Composure, Patience and Professionalism. We investigate your case from three main perspectives at once: Caring, Scientific (to determine if what is happening has a natural cause), and Christian. This unique "CSC" approach is as follows: first of all, we care - and it comes across. We will listen to you and treat you with dignity, respect and professionalism. Secondly, we launch a thorough scientific investigation, including interviews (be fore-warned, we are nice about it, but we ask some tough, pointed questions!), historical research, and on-site sessions utilizing sophisticated camera, video, audio, and closed-circuit television equipment, as well as many other scientific research instruments and meters. Thirdly, we are deeply committed Christians who understand that we live in both a physical world and a spiritual world, and are under no illusion as to other possible explanations and causes. We are well aware of the common "flaw of the excluded middle," so we understand that the natural, material world of the physical overlaps with the realm of the spiritual. We specialize in this middle, over-lapping area. After our on-site field investigation sessions, we do an careful analysis of all collected data, then sit down with you and reveal our findings - what we have or have not discovered - and what we think your best option(s) might be going forward, both short and long-term.
Centered on Southwest Mississippi and East Central Louisiana, but if necessary we will travel farther, and/or confer with another more local team in your area. Visit our blog at www.natchezghosts.blogspot.com
Community Services > Foundations, Clubs, Associations, Etc.
We utilize both hi-tech & low-tech equipment.

Pondering America's insistence on capital punishment as the debate rages in theaters
I find myself thinking about Werner Herzog's death row documentary "Into the Abyss: A Tale of Death, a Tale of Life" a lot lately. You'll recall it was my favorite film out of this year's Telluride Film Festival, and striking, it was, for the uncharacteristic Herzog it brought with it. Here was a film ultimately about the beauty of life, and for a man who has made a career of dark depictions that have at times approached near-nihilism, it was a bit unexpected for that.
"Whatever your position on capital punishment, the film is necessary, plain and simple," I wrote from the fest. "[The film is] crucial viewing for anyone who thinks he or she has an opinion on the matter. It simply isn't right to have that opinion safely, from a distance. The stakes are too high."
I was reminded of the film once again when I stumbled across Christopher Hitchens's recent dissection of America's insistence on clinging to the death penalty over at Lapham's Quarterly. It's a subject the author and journalist has touched upon frequently in his time, particularly around the hanging of Saddam Hussein in December of 2006.
"To be in the company of Iran and China and Sudan as a leader among states conducting execution—and to have pioneered the medicalized or euthanized form of it that is now added to the panoply of gassing, hanging, shooting, and electrocution and known as 'lethal injection'—is to have invited the question why," he writes, before getting around to his thesis, and a very Chris Hitchens thesis at that: "The reason why the United States is alone among comparable countries in its commitment to doing this is that it is the most religious of those countries."
The capital punishment debate is particularly punctuated this year. Last month, Damien Echols entered an Alford plea along with the rest of the West Memphis Three (convicted on dubious evidence for the 1993 murders of three boys in West Memphis, Arkansas), finally taking him off of death row. Joe Berliner and Bruce Sinofsky's "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory," part of a 15-year on-going documentary analysis of the case, played the Toronto Film Festival last week.
Last night, Troy Davis was finally executed in Georgia after being found guilty of the August 19, 1991 murder of a police officer in Savannah. He maintained his innocence until the end and drew support from the public, celebrities and human rights groups.
Davis's ability to appeal his conviction after key witnesses changed or recanted testimony that put him on death row was limited in part due to Bill Clinton's post-Oklahoma City bombing Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, and particular piece of legislation is just one of number of things Hitchens takes aim at in his piece.
Read the rest at Lapham's Quarterly. "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory" moves on to the New York Film Festival next month, while "Into the Abyss: A Tale of Death, a Tale of Life" is set for release by Sundance Selects on November 11 and could potentially figure into this year's Best Documentary Feature race.
Below is Herzog -- who also has a death row series coming to the Investigation Discovery channel -- giving his ultimate reasoning for not believing in capital punishment. It's is his "I don't have an argument, I have a story" take, which he also conveyed to me when we spoke in Telluride. He'll be the keynote speaker at LA's Film Independent Forum next month.

Port scans are continuously used by both worms and human attackers to probe for vulnerabilities in Internet facing systems. In this paper, we present a new method to efficiently detect TCP port scans in very high-speed links. The main idea behind our approach is to early discard those handshake packets that are not strictly needed to reliably detect port scans. We show that with just a couple of Bloom filters to track active servers and TCP handshakes we can easily discard about 85% of all handshake packets with negligible loss in accuracy. This significantly reduces both the memory requirements and CPU cost per packet. We evaluated our algorithm using packet traces and live traffic from 1 and 10 GigE academic networks. Our results show that our method requires less than 1 MB to accurately monitor a 10 Gb/s link, which perfectly fits in the cache memory of nowadays' general-purpose processors.

BOSTON -- Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said he was uncertain whether outfielder Cody Ross would face discipline from the commissioner's office in the wake of his ejection Wednesday night because "I don't know how the system works."
"I would guess I wouldn't have any concerns after I know how the system works," Valentine said. "It used to be you'd have to touch someone or say something really bad, and this seemed like a guy who was into the moment and got excited. That used to be acceptable. I don't know how the system is working today."
Ross was ejected by plate umpire Alfonso Marquez after being called out on a 3-and-2 pitch to end the eighth inning Wednesday night. At the time, the Sox were trailing by two and James Loney was on second after a two-out double, with Ross the potential tying run.
Ross at one point turned and faced Marquez with his bat held overhead, though he quickly lowered it. The argument remained heated, however, and Valentine placed himself between the player and umpire.
At no time did it appear Ross made contact with the umpire.
"He didn't come close," Valentine said. "I don't think he was going to touch him. I thought he was getting close, to talk in private."
A baseball source said Thursday he would be surprised if Ross was suspended. The raised bat, he said, was frustration, as if Ross was going to beat it into the ground, and he lowered it quickly. "That was nothing," he said. If anything, the way Ross circled back to confront Marquez might be grounds for a suspension, but he thought it doubtful.
Valentine also was ejected after returning to the dugout, as was third-base coach Jerry Royster. Valentine said he was tossed for holding his hands apart in a demonstration of how much he thought Marquez missed the pitch.
The ejection was the sixth this season for Valentine, setting a record for a Sox player, coach or manager, according to the team's PR staff. Valentine said in all six ejections, he said and did less to be thrown out than at any time in his career.
Ross left the clubhouse Wednesday night without speaking to reporters, and declined comment before the game Thursday, other than an aside expressing frustration over a report suggesting he could be suspended.

I'm sure there are a LOT of people who will be happy to hear that cilantro is bad for them... people who didn't eat it in the first place.
I HATED the stuff as a kid but I love it now.
Reyes, M. R. et al. Mutagenicity and safety evaluation of water extract of coriander sativum leaves. J. Food Science 2010, 75:T6-T12.
I'm sure there are a LOT of people who will be happy to hear that cilantro is bad for them... people who didn't eat it in the first place.
I HATED the stuff as a kid but I love it now.
Interesting... not that I planned on taking a cilantro extract any time soon, and I don't think you can really apply any of their findings to fresh cilantro, or probably even dried cilantro as used in food.
The science seems good and they don't overstate the implications, which is nice. One thing I'd like to see is cilantro extract compared to OTHER edible/medicinal plant extracts - maybe there are compounds in all of them that would have this effect in these high concentrations. I don't know enough about plant extracts to know if there's a wide body of literature on that.
I'm not surprised. Lots of plant compounds damage DNA. It's good as long as they only damage a little bit and your cells pick up the pace on repair as a result. It does make one wonder whether all these various plant extracts and supplements are wise, though.
Give me liberty. Exploration of other options will be vigorously discouraged.
Wondering something sciencey? Ask me in my Ask a Biochemist Thread
I use a metric ton of cilantro, and I not not sweating this at all ;-)
Cilantro tastes like pennies made out of soap. There's no way it could be good for you
Life is inevitably fatal.
NOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo. Cilantro is like my favourite herb to use in taco salads, tortilla-less enchiladas and stuffed tri-tip roasts (which i bbq instead)....
"The first wealth is health."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
This in no way bothers me as I share the same opinion as LX - cilantro tastes like something you shouldn't be eating! (IMHO of course)

for leaving an obsenity-ridden voicemail on her friend's cell? The mom of the friend just called me. She is a former daycare client of mine, and current neighbor and a frend of mine. I knew the girls had been arguing a lot lately and I honestly thought my dd was handling it well. She was talking with me about it, and seemed to be taking my advice on speaking with her friend about hurt feelings and such.
So the friend was crying the other day and when her mom asked why, she gave her the cellphone and mom listened and told me what my dd said. Called her a bitch (for not answering her texts and calls) told her to fuck off and to never fucking talk to her again.
I am furious & embarassed and feel bad for dd's friend. So I already took all electronics out of her room and hid them. Called another friend who is having a bday party this weekend that we already rsvp'd yes to and said dd will NOT be attending. She will be grounded for 1 week and no phone or 1Pad for 1 month. We also made an appointment to have the ends of her hair dyed, which I just cancelled. She will be apologizing in person to her friend AND her friend's mom. What else?
I am in a terrible mood because I found out at 7am that my uncle passed away last night and I want to make sure I don't take out my grief over that on her with this issue.....
punishment give your 10 yo dd UPDATE PG 8
I like how posters come on here, fingers blazing full of judgement about someone's child acting up a bit because certainly their precious pretty child would never use swear words and it must be indicative of terrible parenting that is so evident by the OP's child's hair style.
Their child of course perfectly fits the mold of what a good child looks and acts like.
Mean girl much?
Yeah, I'm definitely chuckling to myself that so many of you think it's so shocking that 10 year olds swear. Unless you insulate your child from every other person in this world, they are going to hear those words, and likely going to say those words. They very likely won't say them around you, but you bet your ass they'll say them with their friends or behind your back. I can't even tell you the number of times my 10 year old self fought with my mom and would close my door and silently scream BITCH at the door!
OP, I think you've punished enough. Hopefully she learns her lesson and realizes that what she did was cruel.
She was a brave woman who faced the Moby Dick of poops, and lost. - Ashley's Closet
The question why I would LET Willow cut her hair. First the LET must be challenged. This is a world where women, girls are constantly reminded that they don't belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power, or self determination. I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit, and her mind are HER domain. Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair. It's also a statement that claims that even little girls have the RIGHT to own themselves and should not be a slave to even their mother's deepest insecurities, hopes, and desires. Even little girls should not be a slave to the preconceived ideas of what a culture believes a little girl should be. More to come. Another day."
It may not apply to this situation, but since the topic was brought up.....
Its a waste of a woman to try and be a man.
Crunchier and Crunchier.
I think the punishment is good. My mother didnt get a cell phone until she was 40. Does that mean I should wait until im 40? Please, kids have phones, ipads, ipods, etc. Its a differnent world than it was 20 years ago. If cell phones were around when I was 10 im sure my parents would have gotten me one. And yes 10 year olds do curse. And I have to say around here the girls are worse with language than the boys.
Mom to:Amber (98) Connor (00) Abigail (04) Logan (08) Ava (10)
Your daughter needs to learn inappropriate vs appropriate behavior.
Heather 1/9/10
Baby #2 Arrival 11/3/16
Before going overboard on the punishments think about what it is you are trying to teach. Do you only want her to be kind for fear of losing her electronics or parties? Or do you want her to understand how badly she hurt her friends feelings and I would be honest about how much this embarrassed you.
Since she's going to have a lot of free time in the next week or so I'd fill that time with some long talks and maybe assign a book or magazine article on the topic and talk over what she read/ learned.
"To raise nice kids, you have to talk to them like they are people instead of talking to them like they're property." -- Frank Zappa
Well, if she wants to have autonomy over her hair color, that's one thing, but the mom doesn't have to finance is if she is being a brat. If one of my kids was treating another viciously I would not then turn around and pay for something that she probably considered a treat. I think mom is right to cancel that appointment.
On the point of cell vs. home phone- I agree that she would probably be less likely to leave a message like that on a family phone. Back in the day before cell phones were common place my BFF had her own phone line in her room. We crank called people all. the. time. because all we had to do was shut her down and her parents were none the wiser. At my house, though, we never went near the phone because a call like that would have to be made out in the open. No way. I know this is a dated example, but I think it fits.
OP I think you're doing enough to make your point if you include the written apology. The birthday party is a toss up for me. We've hosted that party where there were limited guests and kids backed out at the last minute. That makes the birthday girl feel bad. But then you don't want to "reward" (for lack of a better word) your daughter for bad behavior.
I have an 11 year od DD. I would take away the cell phone indefinately, except when she is with her dad. My dd has an ipod touch that she can text with. However, she will lose if faster than she can turn around if I find out that she is texting inappropriate messages. We also don't allow electronic devices on the 2nd floor of the house. You have to use it in the open, or not at all. I am sure that will change over time, but I think it is easier to have strict rules now that we can relax, rather than giving her too much slack to begin with.
Mom to Annemarie, Michael,�JP and William
"Enjoy here while you're here because there is no here there"
Honestly, I would take the cellphone away completely. She can take it when she goes to her dad's house but a 10 year old does not need a cellphone for every day purposes.

this man is a life saver a ture saint
Our 2 year old had a mass develop in her neck and 5 doctors before Pham couldn't diagnose it. He took one look at her neck and the ultrasound and said, "I know what this is. It's a branchial fistula." Then when it turned out to be the rarest form of the problem (1st branchial), he had no problem bringing in other specialists to assist him. (It was a 3-surgeon surgery). I later read an article in a medical journal that said that it usually takes parents more than 3 years to get the proper diagnosis for a branchial fistula. So we were grateful to find Dr. Pham rather early on.He's a smart man, yet humble. He's very easy to talk to and is so kind and gentle with children. He really cares about his patients and their families. He even called me at home twice, which was quite comforting and reassuring. I have great admiration for Dr. Pham and recommend him to any parent whose child needs surgery!
Excellent and caring surgeon.

text: On my way back from Russian River, I figured that I would stop in Bakersfield to purchase some freshly brewed Citra DIPA. But I have just learned that it is only available at the brewery. Frustrating to say the least. I suppose my question is: Has anyone had it? And if so, would it be worth it to drive from Orange County to Kern River to try it out sometime? Rare beers are great, but they are also a pain in the ass at the same time.

Try taking the video off of your profile, and then put it back up.
It has to be the little snip from the embed code as well, remember.
January 21st, 2009, 4:08 PM
From my understanding that's more of a YouTube problem than a problem here at the community. Whoever posted that video originally didn't want people to embed it on other sites.
January 21st, 2009, 4:09 PM
That means that the person who uploaded the video you're trying to use has made it so that you're not allowed to embed.
That's not a PC issue, it's a YouTube thing.

College basketball season is just around the summer and as Vitale would say "It's college basketball, baby. Nothing beats a great game of college basketball."
So I made these rankings and they are based off of players thought to be staying in the draft or coming back to school. Here are your top 5 preseason teams, baby.
'09-'10 College Basketball Preseason Rankings: Top 5
By Tyler Bealmear ,
College basketball season is just around the summer and as Vitale would say "It's college basketball, baby. Nothing beats a great game of college basketball."
Key Players Lost: Goran Suton, Travis Walton.
Newcomers: Derrick Nix, Garrick Sherman, Dion Sims.
An experienced squad led by All-Big 10 guard Kalin Lucas should be a force to be reckoned with this season, even with the key departures of Suton and Walton. Add in Raymar Morgan and Draymond Green and this team looks very very good.
Key Players Lost: Shane Clark, Dante Cunningham, Dwayne Anderson.
Newcomers: Mouphtaou Yarou, Maalik Wayns, Dominic Cheek, Isaiah Armwood.
Rich with talent all around, with the likes of Corey Fisher, Scottie Reynolds, Reggie Redding, Corey Stokes, and Taylor King who sat out last year after transferring from Duke. Once you add two great forwards into the mix with Yarou and Armwood, and two good guards in Wayns and Cheek and you get top 5 team.
The beginning of the year might be a little bumpy as the freshmen get used to the college game but by the end of the season look for VIllanova to claim the Big East.
Key Players Lost: Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, Bobby Frasor, Danny Green.
Newcomers: John Henson, Dexter Strickland, Leslie McDonald, David Wear, Travis Wear.
Losing the 2008 Naismith Player of the Year, along with the 2009 ACC Player of the Year, along with an All-ACC Third Team member and a All-ACC Honorable Mention member can't be an easy thing to deal with, but it can't be to bad when you have the #5 ranked recruiting class, which has 5 players ranked in the top 65 players in the nation.
Combined with an elite group with the likes of Ed Davis, Marcus Ginyard, Deon Thompson, and Tyler Zeller to players such as Henson and Strickland who will make an immediate impact and you have one of the best teams in the nation.
Key Players Lost: None.
Newcomers: Xavier Henry, Elijah Johnson, Thomas Robinson, C.J. Henry.
A team with just Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich would likely be a top 15 team. When you take into account they add the Henry brothers and Johnson to help out on the perimeter and Robinson an underrated big man from New Hampshire, you get one of if not the best team in the nation.
If I was a betting man I would have to say Kansas title chances are pretty good. They will definitely finish in first or second in the Big 12.
Key Players Lost: None (I'm assuming Meeks pulls out of the draft.)
Newcomers: John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, Daniel Orton, John Hood, Darnell Dodson.
Patterson will definitely be back, and I assume Meeks will make the smart decision and come back to work on his ball handling and shot selection. That might be the best 1-2 punch in the nation, arguably of course. Then you have Wall and Bledsoe running the point, Cousins and Orton rotating with Patterson for the 4 and 5 positions, Hood and Dodson at the 3 spot along with improving Perry Stevenson and you have the best team in the nation.
Some will say my opinion is completely biased, and maybe it is but I don't see anyone stopping this group of kids come March.

- rotflmao: Just announced: New Indy title only coming on the Wii
Looks like Indiana Jones' video game adventures might not be completely canceled, at least according to a newly (and unofficially) released trailer for Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings for the Wii.
Wait, the Wii? Yes, it looks like rumors about Indy's demise on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms were pretty accurate and probably foretold by this post and that LucasArts' commitment to the "franchise" is genuine.
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings will arrive on the Wii, Nintendo DS and at least one PlayStation platform starting this Spring. Both the ESRB and PEGI say that PlayStation platform is the PSP, but it may also mean the PlayStation 2.
If the trailer is indicative of gameplay settings, it looks like Indiana Jones' adventures will span familiar territories in Staff of Kings. We just can't wait to see how much whip-waggling we'll do.
PSN ID & xbox Gamertag: Jimboman
oh, and it looks like it's coming out on the ps2, also.
at the end of the new trailer (above) it shows Playstation along with wii. I wonder which one will be better? hope this doesn't mean i need to buy a wii now...i have a ps3, so if it comes out on ps2, i'll just get that one and avoid buying a wii.

It seems like the playstation system will be the psp. http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/28/new-indiana-jones-game-rated-for-ds-psp
Thats a smart move by the lucasarts. The user base for the Wii makes the xbox/ps3 look like a fool. Any person wanting to make $$$ which is what every business wants to do.... would put it out on the Wii or ps2.
^not really, they just pissed off all their next gen fans. people who were promised three years ago that the next gen indy game was coming, was postponed, disappeared, now cancelled...they just lost an incredible amount of trust and respect. at least any that was left after the COO of EA games became president last Feb. 08.
remember this from '06?
PSN ID & xbox Gamertag: Jimboman
If they are really going to make it for the wii, then it may as wel be an adventure game. Like the Indy games were in the beginning. That would make sense to me. But if it's an action game then I really don't get why it's not coming to PS3 & Xbox360...
i know, but if you like those old adventure games, IJ and the Fate of Atlantis will be "unlockable" in Wii's "Staff of Kings."
PSN ID & xbox Gamertag: Jimboman
It'll probably end up like another PS2 game ported over to the Wii with one action controlled by the remote.
That's great news!! Fate of Atlantis was a great game. And I played it so long ago, I just can't remember all the puzzles. Maybe It's time to give it another go!
yeah, it's a shame there aren't more puzzle games like that, and IJ-type games in general. I like using my brain to solve puzzles in videogames more than just running and gunning like so many nowadays.

Stephen Kiernan's debut novel satisfies thrilling 'Curiosity'
Published in 1818, Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" imagined the possibility of science re-animating dead matter, and the themes in her masterpiece have been as enduring as the Hollywood images of a block-headed, neck-bolted monster. What are the moral responsibilities of our scientific capabilities? Just because we can, should we?
Like Shelley's novel, Stephen P. Kiernan's intriguing debut, "The Curiosity," begins in the Arctic, where scientist Kate Philo leads an expedition to find the perfect "hard-ice" from which to re-animate single-cell life forms. The funding for the expedition comes from Erastus Carthage, a monomaniacal media-savvy genius who appoints Daniel Dixon, a lecherous mediocre journalist, to document the project. »Read Full Article
'Revertigo' author Skloot appearing at Boswell
Floyd Skloot's new memoir, "Revertigo" (Terrace Books), covers many topics: a community theater production of "The King and I," New York accents, his mother's remarriage, books he tries but just can't read.
But its big subject is the unexpected, devastating attack of vertigo that struck him on March 27, 2009, and lasted 138 days. In putting together this book, Skloot writes, he realized "my work was exploring balance and its loss, how the forces of uncertainty and sudden change and displacement had shaped me since childhood, as it shapes many of us..." »Read Full Article
Jazz keyboardist Moran throws 'Fats Waller Dance Party'
As the swing era peaked around 1940, pianist-composer Fats Waller was as hot as it got. "Ain't Misbehavin'," currently lighting up the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's Stackner Caberet, demonstrates how Waller's catchy melodies enlivened dancers nationwide.
Then cool and contemporary jazz got more intellectual, as the dancers sat down or moved elsewhere and jazz began its long, continuing decline. »Read Full Article

One little girl needs a familyOne rain-slicked night, six-year-old Holly lost the only parent she knew, her beloved mother Victoria. And since that night, she has never again spoken a word.
One single man needs a wifeThe last thing Mark Nolan needs is a six-year-old girl in his life. But he soon realizes that he will do everything he can to make her life whole again. His sister's will gives him the instructions: There's no other choice but you. Just start by loving her. The rest will follow.
Sometimes, it takes a little magic...Maggie Collins doesn't dare believe in love again, after losing her husband of one year. But she does believe in the magic of imagination. As the owner of a toy shop, she lives what she loves. And when she meets Holly Nolan, she sees a little girl in desperate need of a little magic.
...to make dreams come trueThree lonely people. Three lives at the crossroads. Three people who are about to discover that Christmas is the time of year when anything is possible, and when wishes have a way of finding the path home….
©2010 Lisa Kleypas (P)2010 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I'm a book lover! I read, review, listen to, and hoard books :) I run a book blog, Book Savvy Babe, and am also a mom to 2 young boys.
"Perfect Christmas Romance read"
Pretty good, not my favorite narrator, but the timing and delivery were very good.
Maggie was my favorite character, as performed by Tanya Eby. Tanya's voice sounded very close to how I thought Maggie would sound.
I loved this book, it pulled my heart-strings. I wasn't in tears, but it is an emotional read, in a good way.
Excellent read/listen. I highly recommend this book to romance readers, especially readers looking for a holiday romance.
"A great read!"
A magical place.
Maggie was my favorite. Her relationship with her father was a great one. She wasn't selfish or afraid to reach out to a child and give her a little magic to help work through her grief. And it was amusing to watch her and Mark try to fight there attraction to one another.
I enjoyed the story more for the way she brought all the characters to life for me. I disagree with an earlier reviewer who doesn't like the narrator. Thank you Tanya I enjoy listening to you and have other books you have narrated.
Yes when Holly spoke for the first time to Mark and Sam since her mother's death.
This may help you decide to purchase the book I hope so for Lisa Kleypas dosen't disappoInt. This is a great start to what appears to be another wonderful series by Lisa. I can't wait to listen to Sam's story. Thanks to Lisa I have tried contemporary books for I only read her historicals, etc.
Say something about yourself!
"Great beginning of a new series"
Tanya Eby brings the characters to life. Does a good job with both women and men. Wouldn't even consider print over audio.
Author reminds me of Susan Mallery's books.
Yes. Enjoyed the book and read it straight through. Loved Mark and Sam and how they grew as uncles. Halle was sweet.
Say something about yourself!
"Nice Christmas Read"
Listened for Fun (Audible)
Overall Rating: 3.50
Story Rating: 3.25
Character Rating: 3.75
Part of my 25 Books for the Holidays for 2012
How Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor put me in the Holiday Spirit: Don't stories that involve kids and rescue dogs always pull at your heartstrings? This one even started with a letter to Santa–how could you not be in the Holiday spirit after that?
What I thought of the characters/story: Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor was a pretty short listen for an audio book (5 or so hours) and in places I thought the story was a little rushed. I felt the break-up with the current girlfriend to the "I Love You" was to quick. That being said, I loved the characters. I thought each of them were unique, fun, and in their own ways lovable. I am pretty sure that I will be continuing the series to find out what happens with the other two brothers. I loved Maggie and her relationship with Holly and Mark. I felt that the story from her side was very organic and wonderful. I loved that Holly and Reinfield (the ugly rescue dog) were important parts of the story too. Overall, for a short story it was very heartstrings pulling even though it was a little rushed.
What I thought of the audio: Tanya Eby did the audio and she did a pretty decent job. I still have problems with her male voices but she is certainly growing on me.
Myst/thrillers, some contemporary and ✨fun fantasies✨are my favorites but always open for a good story.
"Cozy Christmas"
A sweet cozy that is quite predictable. A bit of background about Friday Harbor and likable characters kept me interested. A few laughs and some light to heavy romance made this a nice Holiday listen. Narrator did a good job.
"Nice, Sweet and Endearing"
I was afraid to try this audiobook because some of the reviews said it was too short and wasn't as good. I was also afraid to venture out of HR where you reign supreme. But you came through again, making me fall for yet another series and another dysfunctional family—The Nolans.
Single Mark Nolan was thrown for a loop when his sister Victoria suddenly died in a car accident and left a will naming him guardian of her 6 year old Holly. Mark not knowing the first thing about kids coerced his younger brother Sam to join him in raising their niece together. It was challenging since the trauma of her mother's death left Holly mute. But the brothers tried their best to be there for the little girl.
One day, as Mark was perusing a toy store, the owner, widower Maggie Collins began chatting with Holly, and for the first time since his sister's death, Mark heard Holly speak. That is when this wonderful journey to a new beginning commenced.
It's a short book so I won't even get into the details but I will say the narrator did a great job in delineating the characters. The writing was great, the story was great and I was really pleased with the growth in each character. LK has a way with words. She can take a seemingly familiar story, but deliver it in such a way that you are completely taken in. I smiled a lot as I read this story and I can't wait to see what is in store for Sam and Alex (Mark's other brothers). I can't believe I only discovered LK a year ago. She is an amazing writer.
"Unimpressed Big Time"
What a disappointing, short, predictable book! I didn't hear one original idea in the short 4 hour read. Knowing that reality has to be sometimes suspended to accomplish the story, I was still disappointed that the characters weren't developed, the story was predictable, the situations flat and the brother was given more importance in the story than the main character.
I've read/listened others by LK that were much better. This must have been a weekend writing event thinking her fans would buy anything.
If this had been a Christmas present, I would have returned it.
"Horrible robot like performance !"
It was difficult to listen to this performance but it became impossible around 3 hours in. Narrator starts to sound like a robot.
Did not make it to the end
Narrator made it impossible to complete the book
"Lisa Kleypas does not disappoint"
I am a big fan of Lisa Kleypas' historical novels, so I was a little bit reticent to start with this series, a contemporary novel about Mark Nolan, the oldest of the Nolan siblings, his newly orphaned niece Holly, and Maggie Collins, the young widow who owns the local toy shop. However, I am so glad that I did! Lisa really develops her characters and makes you care about what happens to them. There is A LOT of romance, including a sex scene, in this story, but nothing too explicit. This was one of those novels that had me running to order the rest in the series. I don't want to spoil the story for you, but I bet that those of you who are fans of sweet romances will love this book, too!
A 50-something who loves sci-fi, cozy mysteries, thrillers, an occasional romance, and any genre if it is a good story. And especially if it makes me laugh! No vampires or zombies though - these are NOT sci-fi!
"Has Potential"
This was a nice little story that could have been better if the characters were better developed. Enjoyable even so. I saw an ad for a Hallmark movie that looks like it was baed on this story. I find myself wondering which came first......

Jimmy Page Reveals Why There Was No 'Led Zeppelin V'
Jimmy Page explains why Led Zeppelin abandoned naming their albums numerically for 'Houses of the Holy.'
Jimmy Page explains why Led Zeppelin abandoned naming their albums numerically for 'Houses of the Holy.'
Jimmy Page's work curating the ongoing series of deluxe Led Zeppelin reissues has already given fans a number of previously unreleased recordings.
Most Led Zeppelin fans are aware of the fact that Jimmy Page was highly in demand as a session guitarist before joining the Yardbirds in the '60s.
Any Led Zeppelin fan expecting Robert Plant and Jimmy Page's long-awaited reunion to include John Paul Jones must have been stunned to find them working instead with street musicians in Marrakech, Morocco.
Jimmy Page is offering fans an intimate look into Led Zeppelin's most famous song, sharing memories and insights as a record spins in front of him.
Jimmy Page says he isn't worried about Led Zeppelin overshadowing his solo plans.
On Oct. 14, Jimmy Page will become the first member of Led Zeppelin to publish a memoir -- with a twist.
Jimmy Page has expressed frustration that Led Zeppelin haven't mounted a reunion tour, but he sounds like he's getting closer to starting his own group again.
Robert Plant is getting sick of Jimmy Page talking about a Led Zeppelin reunion.
Dave Davies emphatically rebukes a BBC documentary that says that Jimmy Page played on the Kinks classic.

I really hope that Nintendo isn't expecting the DSi to be the next big thing like the DS Lite was. So far, I have seen no real reason to go out and import the damn thing and a ton of reasons to keep my Lite.
Well...one reason actually.
GBA slot!
There are actually some of us that still play GBA games. I can see some reasoning as to why the slot was removed. The Gameboy is dead. It's lived a good, long life. However there are sill people out there with a GBA library.
Also, it's about 60 bucks more than the Lite. And for what? Two camera, a SD slot, and a slightly better screen. Nothing really takes advantage of it, so it's basically just a gimmick.
Now, it won't be an utter failure of course. I can see people buying it as a replacement system and SOME people who have a DS Phat might skip the Lite and go straight for this.
Perhaps there will be a killer app somewhere down the line....but as of now, I just don't see it.

Antec LED Fan Review
The Fans
Though it may not look like much in the light, it comes to life in the dark. But before we get into that, we'll go ahead and take a look at the fans themselves.
Both versions measure in at 80mm x 80mm x 25mm so will mount in any standard 80mm fan bracket. Since it is a standardized size, it will also easily fit into any self-made 80mm blow holes that may have been added to your case. The fan spins at a rate of 2600 RPM and has an airflow rating of 34-CFM. Add to this the fact that it only emits about 30dBA of sound output and you can see that there is some promise here.
Performance wise, these fans are on par with the Sunon fans that I have been using for quite some time now for case cooling. I ran through my normal battery of tests for heatsinks to see if they could combat heat created by the hard drive, the video card and the processor. With an ambient air temperature in the room of 21C, I was only able to get the case to 28C. This is an identical result from faster Sunon fans, but with a LOT less noise!
Fortunately, Antec went with a 4-pin Molex connector for powering this fan. I have been seeing some 3-pin fans hitting the market and I just dread the power draw that these monsters are putting on a motherboard. Hook up a few of the larger 80mm fans and you could be in the market for a new mainboard.
Also of note is the braided covering over the wires. Though the likelihood of dropping a wire into a bad place is slim with 80mm fans, it just makes the whole package look better. And if you just happen to also have a window in your side panel, then this will give you a much better look overall.
If you happen to be the type of person that wants to monitor everything inside the case, then you'll be happy to know that there is also a 3-pin connector to hook up to the motherboard. It's only purpose is to allow you to monitor the fan speed through the BIOS or by means of a third party monitoring utility (like SiSoft Sandra or Motherboard Monitor). This feature has become almost a standard on fast 60mm fans, but it is also a welcome addition to the larger brothers.
