[note] 2014 CHRISTMAS LIGHTS TOUR IS HERE. [/note]
[pullquote_left] by Melody VanderWeide [/pullquote_left][clear]
West Michigan Loves Christmas Lights!
I love looking at Christmas lights with my kids!
I did it when I was growing up with my parents, and now I look forward to looking at Holiday Lights every year with my kids in West Michigan.
We bundle up, grab some snacks, put on the holiday tunes and set off. Each kid chooses an item to count up while we're looking at lights. Maybe it's Santas, candy canes, deer, or penguins… whatever the item, it keeps them engaged and excited the whole time.
Hopefully your family will be able to join in the fun, too! To help you find the Holiday lights around Grand Rapids we've put together the an Interactive Holiday Christmas Lights Map!
When you click on a map icon, more information will be revealed (including reader comments) about each stop. Also, pan to Muskegon, Kent City, and Greenville for more houses.)

BREAKING NEWS: First Lady, Kerry WON'T Honor Hater of U.S., Jews and Jewish State
Latest update: March 8th, 2013
This Friday, March 9, is International Women's Day. First Lady Michelle Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry will mark that day by honoring ten women with the Secretary of State Women of Courage Award. Very nice. Except one of those women, Samira Ibrahim, hates the U.S., Jews and the Jewish State and she is delighted when Israelis and Americans are killed. Not so nice.
Ibrahim is being honored for doing some very brave things. She took a serious risk when she joined the protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square in 2011 against the Mubarak regime.
Ibrahim was detained by police and was one of 17 women subjected to a horrifically degrading – both conceptually and in practice – "virginity test," the goal of which was to humiliate her and to prove that only "bad" women protest. The official reason given was to protect Egyptian military from charges of rape by these women. Ibrahim also claimed to have been tortured and sexually abused while in the prison.
Rather than suffer in silence, as so many victims do, Ibrahim filed a lawsuit against the Egyptian government. "I will not give up my rights as a woman or a human being," she said at the time.
As a result of Ibrahim's legal efforts, the Egyptian government banned those tests. Good for her! But based on public utterances Ibraham made, she not only does not care about justice for those different from herself, she actually applauds the death, torture and murder of others – if they are Jews or Americans.
In different statements, over the period of many months, the most recent in September, Ibrahim praised the 9/11/12 murder of four Americans, exulted at the death of 5 Israelis, quoted Hitler in Jews having a hand in all bad things, and said a Saudi official was worse than a "dirty Jew."
Once these statements saw the light of day, originally in a story in The Weekly Standard, Ibrahim and U.S. officials have offered various excuses. One of her excuses, which her U.S. government backers picked up, is that her Twitter account was hacked and she didn't write any of the bad things on her account. That doesn't seem likely as the tweets – which were commented on at the time – remained in her feed without any public protest by her until the Standard story came out.
Charlize Theron, an Academy award winning actress and former super-model, wrote admiringly of Ibrahim in a Time Magazine special on "The World's 100 Most Influential People" last spring.
When I first heard Samira's story, it moved me. Not simply because of the abhorrent injustice she experienced but also because of her bravery to speak the truth and to face those who would tell her to stay quiet. It takes a strong person to stand up for what is right in the face of ostracism and public scrutiny. Samira represents the model of how to stand up to fear, and the impact she has made reaches far beyond Egypt. It takes just one woman to speak out, and thousands of others around the world will listen and feel inspired to act.
Theron is a United Nations Messenger of Peace, focusing on eliminating violence against women, according to Time. But not all women, apparently. Because Ibrahim, whom Theron wrote so admiringly about, actually rejoiced when one women was blown to bits this summer. That woman, Kochava Shriki, was one of the five Israeli tourists murdered by Hezbollah terrorists in Burgas, Bulgaria. Just as she was leaving on her trip to Bulgaria, Shriki learned that she was pregnant for the first time.
When Shriki and four other Israelis were murdered, Ibrahim tweeted, "explosion on a bus carrying Israelis in Burgas airport in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news."
But it isn't just the Jews Ibrahim hates. When the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya burned and U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed, Ibrahim tweeted: "Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning."Lori Lowenthal Marcus

For the second Sunday in the past month, Andy Murray and Roger Federer met to decide a very important title at the All-England Club.
On July 8, Federer ruined the Scots' plans to become the first British man to capture Wimbledon since 1936 with an impressive display and a 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 win, capturing his seventh title at the SW19 and his 17th major overall. This win helped the current World No. 1 that he could still compete with the young athletes of today's game.
Less than one month later on August 5, Murray captured a meaningful title in front of his home crowd-- the Olympic Gold Medal. Federer, arguably the greatest player of all-time was keen to capture the one big title that had eluded him so far.
However, the Swiss Maestro, exhausted from a demanding semi-final, succumbed to a brilliant Murray, 6-2, 6-1, 6-4.
With both having the most successful summers of any player on tour, all eyes will be on them as we shift into the summer hardcourt season.
There is an absence of top talent during the Rogers Cup in Toronto, and perhaps the Cincinnati Masters as well, but the next major on the tennis calendar in the U.S. Open.
The favorites for the U.S. Open are the usual suspects, Federer, Murray and Novak Djokovic. Of course, if present we can never count out Olympic absentee and World No. 3 Rafael Nadal. Players who excel on hardcourts and have been playing well lately, such as Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Juan Martin del Potro and Tomas Berdych, can be considered as contenders.
This years' dark horses include Mardy Fish, Alexandr Dolgopolov, Tommy Haas, Sam Querrey and Milos Raonic.
However, we all know that the true contenders are this summers' big three, plus possibly Nadal. Tsonga is probably the biggest threat to end to "Big Four" stronghold on Grand Slams. These are the five players that will mainly be talked about in this article.

The Children's Hourby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Comes a pause in the day's occupation, That is known as the children's hour. ..." Other books by this author are available in this library.
The Divine Comedyby Dante Alighieri Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Dante's famous poem as translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Evangelineby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Evangeline describes the betrothal of a fictional Acadian girl named Evangeline Bellefontaine to her beloved, Gabriel Lajeunesse, and their separation as the British deport the Acadians from Acadie in the Great Upheaval. The poem then follows Evangeline across the landscapes of America as she spends years in a search for him, at some times being near to Gabriel without realizing he was near.
Evangeline and Other Poemsby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It has been said that a copy of Longfellow's narrative poem Evangeline could be found in every literate household in America in the nineteenth century. Certainly its poignant romance touched many hearts and stirred deepening interest in the Maine-born Harvard educator who, in his lifetime, would become America's most famous poet. This book contains the complete Evangeline and a number of other widely admired Longfellow poems.Included are the memorable "The Skeleton in Armor," "The Arsenal at Springfield," "Mezzo Cammin," and "Aftermath." Here, too, is Divina Commedia, the six sonnets on Dante that are among the poet's finest works. All have been reprinted from an authoritative edition of Longfellow's poems.
Evangeline and Selected Tales and Poemsby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Horace Gregory Edward M. Cifelli
Distinguished poet Horace Gregory has selected thirty-seven of Longfellow's most enduring poems for this edition, the only paperback of Longfellow's poetry in print.
Favorite Poemsby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was the most popular American poet of his time, and one of the most famous American poets of all time. It has been said that certain of his poems-the long narratives Evangeline and The Song of Hiawatha most notably-were once read in every literate home in America. A former teacher who fulfilled his dream to make a living as a poet, Longfellow taught at Bowdoin and Harvard, was eventually honored for his poetry with degrees from Oxford and Cambridge, and is one of the few Americans to have a monument dedicated to his memory in Westminster Abbey. This choice collection of his works, which reflects his mastery of a rich variety of poetic forms and meters, includes one of his best narrative poems, The Courtship of Miles Standish. Here, too, are such famous poems as "The Village Blacksmith," "The Wreck of the Hesperus," "The Children's Hour," "Paul Revere's Ride," and other poems on subjects ranging from lost youth and Giotto's Tower to slavery and the building of a ship. Includes a selection from the Common Core State Standards Initiative: "Paul Revere's Ride."
Georgia High School Mathematics 1by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Anne Ashley
NIMAC-sourced textbook
Hiawathaby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Susan Jeffers
The classic American poem The Song of Hiawatha is developed into a tale covering the childhood of Hiawatha and telling the story of his early years, when he first learned the Native American way of life from his grandmother.
Infernoby Dante Alighieri Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
On a divine journey through the depths of Hell, Dante--with his guide, the poet Virgil--witnesses the fate of Earth's sinners. Inferno, a 14th century poem and the first part of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, paints an allegorical underworld in which sinners are punished in accordance with their sins. Journey through the darkness and meet famous historical and mythical figures and the fate that has become them, from Homer and Julius Caesar who dwell in Limbo with the unbaptized and the virtuous pagans, to Judas Iscariot and Satan himself, who dwell in the deepest circle of hell for the sin of treachery. Influential, even after seven centuries in print, readers of Inferno will appreciate the plethora of allusions both within and concerning this work, as well as the moral implications the story develops. Now available as part of the Word Cloud Classics series, Inferno is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers.
The Inferno: The Definitive Illustrated Editionby Dante Alighieri Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Gustave Doré
In 1867, when Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published the first American edition of The Inferno, Dante was almost unknown in this country. The New England poet and educator, who taught Italian literature at Harvard, introduced Dante's literary genius to the New World with this vibrant blank verse translation of the first and most popular book of the three-part Divine Comedy. Expressed in haunting poetry of great emotional power, The Inferno chronicles Dante's passage through nine circles of the underworld and his encounters with tormented sinners. Combining Aristotelian philosophy, mythology, Roman Catholicism, and thirteenth-century Italian politics, this landmark of world literature forms a unique synthesis of the Christian, classical, and secular worlds.Dante's depictions of hell and its grotesque punishments found their ideal match in the hands of the eminent nineteenth-century illustrator Gustave Doré. Unable to find a sponsor, the artist published his stunning engravings for The Inferno at his own expense. An instant and enduring success, Doré's images made a lasting impression on the public imagination. This volume's enchanting translation and unforgettable illustrations offer readers a perfect blend of literary and artistic skill.
The Midnight Ride Of Paul Revereby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Christopher Bing
In his magnificent interpretation of Henry Wadsworth Longfellows poem, Christopher Bing seamlessly weaves history and imagination into a rich portrait of an American hero. A meticulous researcher, Bing includes material that provides texture to history, maps that follow the British campaign to quell the rebellious citizenry, as well as the patriots ride into the Massachusetts night of April, 1775. Documents firmly affixed into the book, including the British generals orders to his troops and Reveres own deposition relating the events, give the reader not only a visual experience but a tactile one as well. Far more than a brilliantly presented history lesson, this book represents a tour de force of coherent artistic vision. In an extraordinary series of rich and moody engravings, from the mysteriously shimmering rigging of the British sloop, The Somerset, looming in a moonlit Boston harbor to the taut urgency of a man and his horse galloping at a combustible moment in the American experience, this book illuminates our country's past unlike any other.
Selected Poemsby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Lawrence Buell
Longfellow was the most popular poet of his day. This selection includes generous samplings from his longer works--Evangeline, The Courtship of Miles Standish, and Hiawatha--as well as his shorter lyrics and less familiar narrative poems.
The Song of Hiawathaby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Return to the shores of Gitche Gumee and sing the Song of Hiawatha Out of childhood into manhood Now had grown my Hiawatha, Skilled in all the craft of hunters, Learned in all the lore of old men, In all youthful sports and pastimes, In all manly arts and labors. Swift of foot was Hiawatha; He could shoot an arrow from him, And run forward with such fleetness, That the arrow fell behind him! Strong of arm was Hiawatha; He could shoot ten arrows upward, Shoot them with such strength and swiftness, That the tenth had left the bow-string Ere the first to earth had fallen!--Longfellow
The Song of Hiawathaby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Herbert Meyer
The publisher is proud to present this new edition of an old American favorite, authentically and unforgettably illustrated by a distinguished American artist.Artist-illustrator Herbert Meyer's illustrations give new life to Longfellow's epic poem.

Besides being warmly evocative, they are historically authentic, for the artist did extensive research on the American Indians. Meyer's artistic vision does full justice to Longfellow's immortal epic, which is not only an American favorite, but is known and admired throughout the world for its hauntingly beautiful poetry.The Song of Hiawatha's particular blend of myth and history, native tradition and foreign influence has survived the years, and its artistic authenticity is undisputed. The same, we hope, can be said for the illustrations of Herbert Meyer, brought to light in this new, digital edition.
The Wild, Wild West: Thrilling Tales by Famous Authorsby Rudyard Kipling Mark Twain Ralph Waldo Emerson O. Henry Max Brand Charles Dickens Bret Harte Jack London Sir Arthur Conan Doyle James Fenimore Cooper Henry David Thoreau Stephen Crane Robert Louis Stevenson Oscar Wilde Washington Irving Zane Grey Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Ambrose Bierce Walt Whitman John Muir John Richard Stephens
A town that had a man for breakfast every morning.That's how Tombstone, Arizona was described in the late-1800s, bolstering the myth that a corpse would be found cooling in the town's dusty streets each sunrise. The reality was quite different and much less violent, of course, but that hasn't kept the fanciful folklore of the Wild West from being retold in the years since, across America and around the world.This book captures the quick-trigger temper and savage spirit of America's frontier days in The Wild, Wild West, an exciting compilation of factual and fictional stories about the Wild West by famous authors.This is a collection of works on the Wild West by many of the world's most famous authors from the 1800s, including Dickens, Wilde, Emerson, Whitman, Longfellow, Muir, Irving, Thoreau, Twain, Kipling, Bierce, London, James Fenimore Cooper, O. Henry, Bret Harte, Zane Grey, Max Brand, Stephen Crane, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Louis Stevenson. The selections involve gunfights, outlaws, gold mining, the Pony Express, stagecoach robberies, cowboys, card sharks, vigilantes, lynchings, ghost towns, and sheep, along with tributes to Custer and to the Native Americans who did him in.In a Max Brand tale, a town offers to reward a gunslinger for bringing in a stage robber dead or alive, leading to a battle of wits in the outlaw's canyon hideout. A story by Stephen Crane involves four men who play a card game for fun which ends in death, while Jack London tells of a deadly struggle between a hard-working prospector and an opportunistic murderer over a load of gold. Then there's the very first story that introduced the Cisco Kid to the world, along with the jumping frog story that made Mark Twain famous.The vivid personalities and the stories they give rise to in The Wild, Wild West reveal the truth behind the embroidered legends of the Old West, even as they add to them.(300 pages, 62 illustrations)

Even in Grundy, Alaska, its unusual to find a naked guy with a bear trap clamped to his ankle on your porch. But when said guy turns into a wolf, recent southern transplant Mo Wenstein has no difficulty identifying the problem. Her surly neighbor Cooper Graham,who has been openly critical of Mo's ability to adapt to life in Alaska, has trouble of his own. Werewolf trouble.
For Cooper, an Alpha in self-imposed exile from his dysfunctional pack, its love at first sniff when it comes to Mo. But Cooper has an even more pressing concern on his mind. Several people around Grundy have been the victims of wolf attacks, and since Cooper has no memory of what he gets up to while in werewolf form, hes worried that he might be the violent canine in question.
If a wolf cries wolf, it makes sense to listen, yet Mo is convinced that Cooper is not the culprit. Except if hes not responsible, then who is? And when a werewolf falls head over haunches in love with you, what are you supposed to do anyway? The rules of dating just got a whole lot more complicated.

humor, food and Alaska
It was fun. I am a big werewolf fan. So I have give any book that has werewolf in it a try. This one was a pleasant surprise. Molly Harper writing is very funny and I love her characters. I also love the bit of mystery in there to.
Sara A :)
"Werewolfs are doggone funny!"
Harper is amazing at making uncomfortable situations hysterical. I am still laughing. I wish there were more to the series.
Leigh Ann
"LOL Funny!!"
I haven't read the print version but Amanda Ronconi is one of my favorite narrators, and definately doesn't disappoint here.
Definately the comedy!
I love the way she handles emotions and she never sounds like she's reading from a script. Her male characters are bit weak, but it's forgivable because you get lost in the way she tells the story.
"Fun and Funny"
There are just great moments of the characters being typical people... Things that make me relate and connect to the story.
Can't put my finger on it. It's just very well done.
A great twist of her voice for the various emotions, especially irony, and slightly acidic emotions (self-doubt, internal dialogue, etc.)
"one of the best in a long time"
I LOVED this book. It had me laughing so hard in places that I my husband didn't know what was happening to me. Such a fresh take on the whole experience of the supernatural, with wit and humor, as well as lusty scenes intermixed, that I was taken aback when I hadn't heard this author previously. I encountered the book by looking at the narrator's list of narrations since I really enjoyed another book she read for, so I will say that the narration is great, too. Since this book, I have read other Molly Harper books and have not been disappointed! Such fun! I recommend this book whole-heartedly!
"A Fun Listen"
I really enjoyed this book. It kept me entertained the whole listen and didn't drag at all. I was fully engaged and wanted to keep listening even when I arrived at my destination. That's how I know I like an audible book.
"Gotta Love This Book"
This book is very funny, and well written. Amanda Ronconi also did a great job she has the perfect voice for that book. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
I love books, it's my great escape.
"This was cute, light and funny, I loved it."
I took a chance on this author and I really enjoy this story. I will puchase more from her and the narrator did an excellent job too.
Audiobook Addict. It's all about the Listen. Mostly Romance, but I do branch out a bit. Reviews are my honest opinions-popular or not.
Molly Harper moves on from vamps in KY to werewolves in AK and delivers laughs throughout. These are all great, lighthearted, comedic romances, but don't let the cartoon cover persuade you that these are for the kids. There are some adult scenes that range from R to X-rated, depending on your POV.
"3 ½ stars. Good humor. Witty & sarcastic dialogue"
I enjoyed it. The weakness was plot development.
The first half was the most fun. I was chuckling and smiling several times. The quirky humor worked for me. But the second half was less original. It was typical romance plotting and not well developed.
Mo guessed Cooper was a werewolf too quickly and without reason. She didn't see him shift or anything unusual. She saw a wolf and thought his eyes were similar to Cooper's eyes. That was a stretch. She went from normalcy to accepting the existence of paranormals. Sure the wolf attacked a bad guy, but dogs do that.
The separations and bad guy parts were ok, but not good enough to make it a good story. For example at the end, the bad guy does a tell-all just before he plans to kill a good guy.
I prefer not to read first person, but this was better than I expected due to humor.
There were four sex scenes. The first one was fun and hot. He shredded her clothes. They were in his way. The other sex scenes were brief, not much detail. This has less sex than most romance these days.
I did not like the narrator Amanda Ronconi doing men. She used a weird, whispering, soft voice which did not work for me. It was not sexy or masculine. I've heard other female narrators do men better. The narrator's interpretations were good for humor, but her voice for the heroine was a bit irritating. She had a pleasing voice for Gracie, Cooper's mom.
Genre: humorous contemporary paranormal romance

NEW YORK - Stocks fell Thursday, with investors too worried about high gas prices and stagnant employment to be impressed by higher consumer spending.
For much of August, with many traders on vacation and a dearth of major economic news, the market has lumbered more than galloped. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 106.77 points to 13,000.71. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 11.01 to 1,399.48. The Nasdaq composite slid 32.48 to 3,048.71.
The economic news that did surface Thursday was uninspiring to investors.

First point, Gamefreak were one of the first to get the Kit and they have already made a 3DS game using it.
Second Point, there was no official announcement about a Genesect alternate form. It can change to the UFO thing, but the Movies NEVER follow form changes to the T and some even get form changes that do not exist.
Golurk retracts its arms and legs and sprouts rocket looking appendages.
Deoxys can revert back into the gemstone to rest and can freeky switch between its forms.
Kyurem can freely switch between its forms.
Cryogonal is said to have an alternate form that was never shown.
Even though it has been shown to take that UFO form, it was never said that that is an actual form. Its just a way that the Pokemon travels when flying.

All the Pokémon in the game would have to be 3D models, 'cause they had some 3D models in the scenes in HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black, White, Black 2 and White 2. But this time... I'm sure they'd make everything 3D.
Paper Mario is still using flat images for their game. The characters are Paper and look like they can be rendered sprites even though they are rendered images. The 3DS can use Sprite artwork and still keep 3D function.

Brits aren't known for making a song and dance about things, but that's not so for our wildlife, which is emerging from the chilly winter this month to be at its loudest and most flamboyant.
Male birds are at their most colourful right now, the way they moult and the brighter spring days mean their plumage appears more vivid and their patterns and markings are more obvious.
Many male songbirds - robins, blackbirds and song thrushes among them - are competing to sing the loudest and longest, all in an effort to attract a mate for the start of the breeding season. Common frogs and toads are joining the cacophony too, croaking to attract a partner.
Ian Hayward, RSPB Wildlife Advisor, said: 'It's a fever of activity in our gardens and parks at the moment. Birds are displaying brighter plumage, we've already received reports of frogspawn in some garden ponds and a few warm days will bring more colourful flashes of bees and butterflies zipping through the air.
'This chorus of singing, buzzing and croaking is wonderful, but of course there's real purpose behind it; it's all geared towards pairing up and mating.'
Bright yellow brimstone butterflies - one of the first butterflies of the year to take to the air - have been seen flying in the south of England and queen bumblebees are coming out from hibernation now to start the business of rebuilding their colonies.
Away from gardens, hares are active and indulging in their classic spring 'boxing' behaviour. Once thought to be males boxing each other to win a female, it's now known that boxing is actually the female hare fighting off the males' attentions.
Meanwhile, paired-up great crested grebes are performing their elegant spring mating 'dance' mirroring each other's movements on the water to help them bond ahead of breeding.
Ian continues: 'The males of the wildlife world will be pulling out all the stops this month to bag a partner to breed with. It's a fascinating time to be outdoors experiencing these often shy creatures dancing and singing for all they're worth, showing off their best moves.
'Other species like hedgehogs, grass snakes, and even some bat species are popping out of hibernation right now, too.'

this phone sold in the united states works 3g and 4g normally in brasil?
Too often we make compromises, make tradeoffs, settle.
Sometimes, it's unavoidable. But not always.
Companies today flood the market with devices of all kinds. Some have the best available hardware; others have great software, and many come cheap. But all ultimately sacrifice somewhere to cut cost. Devices are now born not out of passion or innovation but to drive profit and satisfy bottom lines.
We believe in a world where product comes first, and everything else is secondary. We don't accept the excuse that you can't create a perfect phone at a killer price. We want to sacrifice nothing.
Life's too short to settle for anything less than excellence. Don't compromise on the technology you bring into your life. Demand more. Demand better.
Never Settle.

WASHINGTON -- Sexual assaults in the military are a growing epidemic across the services and thousands of victims are still unwilling to come forward despite a slew of new oversight and assistance programs, according to Pentagon documents.
Troubling new numbers estimate that up to 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted in 2012, according to survey results released against a backdrop of scandals, including an ongoing investigation into more than 30 Air Force instructors for assaults on trainees at a Texas base.
The report comes just days after the Air Force's head of sexual assault prevention was arrested last weekend on charges of groping a woman in a suburban Virginia parking lot. And it follows a heated debate over whether commanders should be stripped of the authority to overturn military jury verdicts, such as one officer did in a recent sexual assault conviction.
President Barack Obama delivered a sharp rebuke Tuesday, saying he has no tolerance for the problem, and he said he talked to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel about it. He said that any military member found guilty of sexual assault should be held accountable, prosecuted and fired.
"I don't want just more speeches or awareness programs or training, or ultimately folks look the other way," he said. "We're going to have to not just step up our game, we have to exponentially step up our game to go after this hard."
The Associated Press obtained documents and memos related to a new Pentagon report released Tuesday. The documents show that the number of sexual assaults actually reported by members of the military rose 6 percent to 3,374 in 2012. But a survey of personnel who were not required to reveal their identities showed the number of service members actually assaulted could be as many as 26,000, but they never reported the incidents, officials said Tuesday.
That number is an increase over the 19,000 estimated assaults in 2011.
The statistics highlight the dismal results that military leaders have achieved in their drive to change the culture within the ranks.
Hagel ordered a series of steps and reviews to increase officers' accountability for what happens under their commands, and to inspect workstations for objectionable materials, according to memos.

The Relentless Rise of Power Jeans
World Leaders and Executives Wear Them (Mostly Well); How to Get Denim Right
When Dmitry Medvedev dined with the Obamas in July, the Russian president appeared both relaxed and powerful. He hit that elusive note by pairing his fine blazer, crisp buttoned shirt, and expensive-looking leather-soled shoes with dark, straight jeans.
Power jeans are increasingly common in high-ranking business and political circles. Indeed, jeans are now a legitimate part of the global power-dress lexicon, worn to influential confabs where the wearers want to signal they're serious—but not fussy—and innovative.
The look started with the young but has crossed into gray-haired circles. In preparation for a meeting with the U.S. president of Swiss watchmaker IWC, Larry Seiden, a 56-year-old fine-watch collector from San Jose, Calif., bought a pair of black Agave jeans from a high-end boutique. "They tailored them for me and I have to tell you, I really love them," he says. "Now I'm thinking of getting another pair in blue denim."
Jeans are recruiting new fans among even dressy executives. "I'm not really a jeans guy," said Gilles Mendel, chief executive and designer of J. Mendel furs and evening wear, not long ago, sitting in his New York office. Still, he went with a snug set of dark blue Acme jeans under a black Dior blazer.
Chosen well, jeans can suggest the wearer is confident and modern. Traditionally cut blue jeans carry a whiff of the laborer about them, so denim on a leader suggests a willingness to roll up the sleeves and dig in. There's also something of the rebel in a pair of jeans. In the boardroom, that can read as creative.
But jeans must be carefully paired with a pressed shirt and good shoes to be elevated to business class. And some industries haven't (yet) become open to denim as power wear. Banks and accounting-firm boardrooms, for instance, remain decidedly woolen. New York-based career adviser Jonscott Turco says jeans are generally a "no-brainer" in the media, manufacturing and creative industries, but not in financial services and law firms.
Power jeans may best be left to the executives in mixed-rank groups. Being a junior person wearing jeans in a room full of pinstripes could spell "youthful blunder." Perhaps the best rule is that of the high-priced boutique: If you have to ask, you can't afford to wear them.
It's also possible to go awry with the wrong jeans in the right place. Barack Obama, whose wife and children have been heralded as fashion icons, was ridiculed for wearing dorky "dad jeans" (baggy and high-rise) to pitch at an All-Star game. When Tony Blair wore jeans to meet George Bush two years ago, the British prime minister was criticized for his pants' snug fit.
Few items of clothing speak as loudly, to the positive or negative, as a pair of jeans. As with tuxedos and Hawaiian shirts, wear them right (on the latter, only to a luau if you're a mainlander), or not at all.
To wit, fit is as essential for jeans as for tailored slacks. Eric Jennings, Saks Fifth Avenue men's fashion director, suggests that men keep their executive jeans "dark and straight." And never dress as if the jeans had been switched out from formal suit pants at the last minute: No fancy French-cuffed shirts with jeans, he advises.
In fact, getting power jeans right involves lots of no's. No distressed jeans at work. No metal studs. No acid washes. No lavish embroidery. No boot cut. No skinny. No pedal pushers, shorts or cutoffs. No baggy high-rise. No super-low-rise. No holes. And no fussy ironing.
A Staple in American Fashion
Copper-riveted, rolled tight or stone-washed, jeans have sustained the wears and tears of fashion for over a hundred years.

From their 19th-century origins until the 1950s, jeans were mainly work wear. Levi's historian Lynn Downey says denim was demonized in the '50s with wearers like James Dean and Marlon Brando. Nothing could have been better for sales. "Denim was code for rebellion," she says. "So every young boy wanted to wear it."
We have Steve Jobs to thank for today's power jeans. His uniform of Levi's 501s and a black turtleneck was synonymous with innovation in the '90s; now, in the tech world, dressy pants can be viewed with suspicion. "When someone shows up to an interview or meeting in anything other than jeans, it shows inexperience and a lack of confidence," says Andrew Dumont, vice president of marketing for text-messaging company Tatango.
Little wonder that the folks at Levi's are reverential toward Apple's founder. Steve Jobs, says You Nguyen, a Levi's executive in charge of women's merchandising and design, "is the Marlon Brando of his time."

Download the new Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip mixtape "The Abstract and The Dragon" because you have to
Back with a new cover, the new mixtape from Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip The Abstract and The Dragon dropped today. I listened to it earlier. You will listen to it right now. Yes, it's exactly what you want it to be. With some remixes of old classics, unreleased material and brand spanking new joints, I already know I'll be listening to this well into 2014. Nothing else needs to be said. LISTEN!!!
New Video: Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip - "Thank You"
So it's official, Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip will be releasing a new mixtape "The Abstract and The Dragon" on December 12th. That means hopefully their new single "Thank You" is just a sign of dope things to come from both of them. It also means they need a new artwork person because, well, just look at it. Either way, this is currently my favorite song (mainly because of the sample) and this video just adds to the freshness. Pay very close attention to 2:35-2:55 as Q-Tip snaps, with the appoval of Kanye.
New Music: Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip make us thank them on new single "Thank You"
This is how you start off a weekend proper. Take a great sample (Alicia Myers' "Thank You") and two MCs who at one point were heads of the game (Busta Rhymes & Q-Tip) and you get their new single. It's been a while since I've been excited to hear a new Busta Rhymes album, but if ELE2 is gonna be like this, I'm with it. Hit play and boogie out the door of your office.
Cubicle Sessions: Best songs of 2012 so far
We're four days into the new year and there are already some bangers dropping. Instead of keeping them all to myself like Gollum I decided to release them to the world (our three readers).
First up is, former Dr. Dre protege, Bishop Lamont featuring DJ Rhettmatic. I have no idea what it's about because I haven't got past how ill the beat is. Maybe Bishop and Dre will finally finish an album together. Maybe after Detox comes out? That was a joke. »Read Full Blog Post

- Description
Flutter Valve device is used for Breathing Therapy by helping patients dislodge mucus and other secretions from the airways. The Flutter mucus clearance device is highly portable and easy to use. This Flutter Valve is also known as the Acapella Flutter Valve because of its three action mechanisms. First, the Flutter device aides in the removal of mucus and other secretions. Second, the Flutter valve provides a positive expiratory pressure (PEP), which helps hold airways open. Third and last is airway oscillation. Flutter valve therapy helps vibrate mucus away from airway walls and produces an intermittent acceleration flow. This acceleration helps push mucus upward for expectoration; thereby, clearing the air passage ways.
The Cough Assist Flutter device is shaped like a pipe and has a hardened plastic mouthpiece at one end, a perforated plastic cover at the other end and a stainless steel ball resting in a plastic circular cone on the inside. The Flutter Mucus Deviceserves patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as asthma, atelectasis, bronchitis, brochiectasis, cystic fibrosis, or other conditions producing retained secretions.
Flutter Valve PEP Video (2:08 minutes)
Flutter Valve Clearance Device
The Flutter mucus clearing device operates by having the patient blow into the mouthpiece. The vibrations caused by intermittent air flow though the flutter chamber loosens mucus and secretions for the patient. This positive expiratory pressure helps the patient expel mucus and phlegm. The flutter action is caused by the vibrating steel ball within the flutter chamber, causing a non-invasive airway oscillation.
The Flutter mucus clearance device can be used by any age. Its small size and weight allows the patient to take it with them where ever they go.

- Non-invasive action to loosen mucus and secretions
- Works for any age respiratory patient
- Lightweight, less than one pound

- The Best Flutter Valve Mucus Removal Device I've Used
As an ICU nurse, I usually perform procedures to clear the airways of my patients. Given all the equipment I have made use of to aid in the procedure, this mucus removal device is the best because it's easy to utilize. It is very efficient in removing the mucus in my patient's airways. Thus, this is the best for me.

- Flutter Valve Mucus Removal Device Review
I carry this wherever I go. I have severe asthma and phlegm and mucus has been a problem ever since. Which is an issue because I work at an office, with little or no time to go to the washroom. This is very handy for me and it really is very easy to use as it claims.

- The CardinalHealth Flutter Value is very helpful.
This flutter valve is most helpful in clearing my lungs.

- Great Tool
small enough to keep on you and works great to get up the mucus
Product Rating2|1
- Remarkable!
It's small and simple and surprisingly effective. It's extremely helpful in dislodging the mucus from the lungs, and with a few simple blows, the mucus begins to come up and out. It's a lifesaver.

Great product at the most inexpensive price anywhere.

- really great results for me
for me, this flutter valve, though so simple, is one of the best adjuncts for airway clearance I have found in my entire lifetime. Used properly, this works very well for me, to clear secretions that I cannot clear just by coughing on my own.
Product Rating2|0
- Good product. It certainly works as advertised.
I was skeptical when I first got it and was reluctant to try it because of some of the warnings and my particular shortness of breath problem. But I did try it and am happy I did. Thank you for your help in guiding me to this particular device.

- happy to see patients more comfortable!!
Being a nurse at a hospital is not so easy or pleasant sometimes. Especially when you have to remove patients' muncus and clean their airways you can even have some emotional fights because they don't feel comfortable and embarrassed from time to time. After my hospital started to use this device, this kind of fights have decreased surprisingly. It made lives easier both for nurses and patients. Thank you so much!

- It works.
The flutter valve works. I alternate using it with the Accapella Choice. The only feature I have not adjusted to is the mouth piece. But it is simple and it works.

LeBron Fouls Out, Doesn't Agree With Calls
LeBron James just doesn?t foul out.
It has happened twice since he joined the Heat, five times in his entire NBA career (the last one against the Celtics last playoffs). In the middle of this season he went through a six-game stretch where he wasn?t called for one foul.
But with :56 seconds left in Game 4 Tuesday night, LeBron was called for a moving screen on Lance Stephenson. That was No. 6. Much to the delight of the vocal Indiana crowd LeBron went to the bench. It?s not likely his presence would have changed the outcome of this game, but without him and a clearly slowed Dwyane Wade running the show it was pretty much a lock the Pacers would win.
On a night where the one universal cry was that the officials were missing things both ways, you can add LeBron to the group. He didn?t think four of the fouls he got called for deserved a whistle, particularly the last one.
?I was going to set a screen and I felt like I was stationary ? and D Wade rejected the pick and roll,? LeBron said in his televised post game press conference. ?Lance actually ran into me?.
?I believe I was straight up and down on Paul George?s drive, on the and-1. They reversed a call with (Roy) Hibbert, called a foul on me on that one. And at the end of the third they called a push-off on David West
?It was a couple of calls that I didn?t feel like were fouls, personal fouls on me. That?s how the game goes sometimes.?
I will grant LeBron that the last call was a bad one. As he said, Wade went away from the pick, when that happens you can?t really set a moving screen because there is no screen being used. That was a no-call at any point in the game.

Product Description
RED CLIFF opens with power hungry Prime Minister-turned-General Cao Cao (Zhang Fengyi) seeking permission from the Han dynasty Emperor to organize a southward-bound mission designed to crush two troublesome warlords that stand in his way, Liu Bei (You Yong) and Sun Quan (Chang Chen). As the expedition gets under way, Cao Cao's troops rain destruction on Liu Bei's army, forcing the latter to retreat. Liu Bei's military strategist Zhuge Liang (Takeshi Kaneshiro) knows that their only hope for survival is to form an alliance with rival warlord Sun Quan, and reaches out to Sun Quan's trusted advisor, war hero Zhou Yu (Tony Leung). Vastly outnumbered by Cao Cao's fast approaching, brutal army, the rebel warlords band together to mount a heroic campaign unrivalled in history that changes the face of China forever. Contains the full 282 minute extended cut of the film.
En l'an 208, le premier ministre du royaume de Wei convainc l'empereur que la seule façon d'unifier la Chine est de déclarer la guerre aux royaumes de Shu et de Wu. Ces deux royaumes décident de former une alliance pour combattre l'envahisseur.

This complex story of one fateful military encounter in 208AD has costumes, sets, weapons, and set pieces that are eye-popping, especially in Blu-Ray, and characters who are more than just symbols.
CG technology does not detract from the storytelling and the deployment of some 1500 Chinese soldiers in land and naval battles is spectacular. The sheer enthusiasm of all involved manifests in the astonishing power and beauty this 5-hour-long film .
C'est un film à connaître, découvrir absolument,JOHN WOO est un metteur en scène fabuleux . Une mise en scène impressionnante, de très grande envergure. Le découpage, les scènes, le scénario l'histoire issu de L' Histoire Chinoise, TOUT est bien.
Le jeu des comédien est captivant, excellent. Très bons comédiens. Ceux-ci se glissent dans les personnages de cette Époque, témoins et acteurs de ces enjeux, de ces tensions et passions souvent exacerbées. Film historique (pour ceux que cela rebuterait) certes, MAISd'un " suspense " incroyable qui ACCROCHE NOTRE ESPRIT jusqu'à la fin . Jamais de temps morts, chaque scène ou passage captive notre attention et notre intérêt.
Il faut noter aussi, l'humour si plaisant et toujours à propos, sans lourdeur, ni inutilité. Un régal de ce coté là en plus de toutes les qualités de ce film.
Ces reconstitutions de l' Histoire de la Chine Ancienne sont passionnantes. Rien n'égale pour moi, ces films grandioses, au niveau des films à grands déploiements, hormis les films japonais tout également exceptionnels.
À AVOIR dans sa filmothèque, SANS aucune hésitation !

masterpiece by epic proportion,A historical drama that's based on a legendary 208 AD. Battle.that caused
the end of the Han Dynasty, power hungry prime minister who turned General Cao Cao seeks permission
from the Han Dynasty Emperor to organize a southward-bound mission to crush the two troublesome warlords
who stand in his way,this is when you Think you can fight everyone and everything like "Hitler"did,but when the
warlords ban together to mount a heroic campaign,it unrivaled in history that changed the face of China,
"Red Cliff"is probably "John Woo"most expensive movie ever,I would think,after seeing this you would feel the same,
Widescreen 2.35:1
Runtime 288 Minutes.
DTS-HD Master Audio.
Love It Can't Say Anything Else....
Both video and audio quality are above standard.
For those who have seen the shorter version of Red Cliff and for those who were left wanting more, the extended version will not disappoint you. For roughly 5 hours, you will be enthralled and have your breath taken away by the extra footage.
Some of the sub plots as well as other story details that were previously unavailable in the shorter version become available in this extended version.
"Red Cliff" is also know as "The Battle of Chi Bi" for those who are familiar with the books entitled The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and for those who are fans of Koei's Dynasty Warriors game franchise. Gamers will find the movie that more enjoyable as they would be able to recognize famous Chinese warriors and strategists from the game, based on real life people from China's past.
The extended version is well worth your time if you enjoyed the shorter version. This is one epic movie not to be missed.

hello ladies.... AF is due today... but not here which is a good sign b/c she usually arrives w/ the sun. I tested 11 DPO and got a BFN and then the morning of 12 DPO and got a BFN. I haven't retested yet, thought I would wait a couple of days. My question is, how many BFN's have you gotten before you got your BFP and on what DPO did you get your BFP?
how many BFN before you got BFP?

I got a BFN on 12/19, and BFP on 12/28 - but I really have no idea how many DPO I was on the 19th. From the calc's it looks like I was prob about 10 DPO... And I didn't test again for so long due to the holidays :-/ but definitely had sx's looking back now. Actually the sx's were what prompted me to test in the first place.

I'm 4 days late, got a BFN this am.....were tryifng for our first, so i'm wondering how soon is to soon to test...sure have some symptoms that I've never had before!! I'm hoping it's just a little to early to test...I guess I've never heard of any tests that are accurate before a missed period.
I didn't get my BFP till 18dpo. I took probably 5-7 tests that were negative before I got a positive.

Hi first time mom here and I was wondering what method is best when I take my baby boy shopping and running errands with me. Should I keep him in the car seat and carry that (heavy), put the car seat into the stroller,(cant push a shopping cart) or leave the car seat in the car and just take baby in the stroller. If I do this and he falls asleep I risk waking him either to and from the stroller to car. What works best in your experience?
Any thoughts on thse baby carriers or baby wraps? Are they a good investment? How old can you use them until? How much of a pain to put on getting out and in the car?
Any advice would help. Thanks!
