Your Health
2 Adopt a pet Whether finned, feathered or furry, pets are good for your health.
People who own pets have healthier hearts
and make fewer visits to the doctor. During
times of stress, a pet can lower blood pressure. Pet owners are more physically fit and
tend to be less lonely or fearful than those
without pets. And if you want to get in shape,
dogs make better exercise partners than humans—they never want to skip a walk. "
Animals provide us with much of the same kind
of social support that people do," says Alan
Beck, director of Purdue University's Center
for the Human-Animal Bond. And they're
always there when you need them.
3 Choose chocolate The sweetnews about chocolate—that once-guilty plea-sure—is that it has now become a darling ofthe heart-healthy-diet family. How does itwork its magic? Dark chocolate is rich in plantcompounds called flavonoids, natural anti-oxidants that help the body's cells resist dam-age that may contribute to cancer and othermaladies. In addition to their antioxidantproperties, flavonoids help lower blood pres-sure, improve blood flow to the brain andheart, raise "good" HDL cholesterol levels andlower "bad" LDL levels—all of which protectagainst heart attack and stroke. To reap itsbenefits, "choose dark chocolate that containsat least 70 percent cacao, or cocoa," says Rich-ard Stein, M.D., professor of medicine at NewYork University School of Medicine. "Re-searchers don't yet know the exact amount toadvise, so limit yourself to about an ounce aday." Remember, dark chocolate has calories.
4 Savor your coffee If you're a hardcore cofee drinker, scientists have some good
news for you. For older adults, cofee—regular
or decaf—appears to lower the risk of dying
from chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart
disease and pneumonia, according to new research from the National Institutes of Health.
Other research concludes that cafeinated coffee may protect against skin cancer, liver damage, type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's. And research from the University of South Florida
and the University of Miami finds that three
cups of cofee a day may protect against Alzheimer's disease or delay its onset. So if cofee
doesn't keep you awake at night or give you
agita, enjoy that cup of joe—just go easy on the
cream and sugar.
5 Raise a glass of wine or beer
A glass of wine, either red or white, is heart-healthy. There's also good news for those who
would rather have a beer instead of a Beaujolais: Beer is good for the heart, according to
research published in the European Journal of
Epidemiology. Although scientists still don't
know whether the protective efects come from
the alcohol itself or from some nonalcoholic
component, they agree that both beverages also
protect against diabetes and certain types of
cancer. But remember: The key to drinking either wine or beer is moderation—one glass a
day for women, two for men. More than that
can cause serious problems.
6 Have sex The most damaging myth
about older adults is that aging means saying
good-bye to sex. On the contrary: In a national survey of more than 3,000 men and women
ages 57 to 85, more than half of those 75 to 85
said they have sex more than two or three
times a month, and 23 percent claimed to have
sex at least once a week. The benefits? Sex
causes the brain to release endorphins, the
feel-good chemicals that act as painkillers and
reduce anxiety. Sex also prompts the release
of substances that bolster the immune system.
What's more, sexual activity is associated with
lower levels of depression in both men and
women, according to a study in the journal
Society and Mental Health.
7 Listen to your favorite music
We can hear music even before we're born,
and we continue to respond to it all our lives.
Indeed, music profoundly afects health. Listening to your favorite music may be good for
your heart. Emotions aroused by joyful music
cause tissue in the inner lining of blood vessels
to expand, increasing blood flow,
researchers at the
University of
Maryland School
of Medicine report. Music also
brings on sound
sleep, boosts mood
and reduces anxiety. And studies show that patients feel less
pain and need less pain medication after surgery if they listen to music while recuperating.
Neuroscientists hope to discover why music
afects us the way it does. But for now, just play
your favorites, sit back and enjoy.
8 Take a nap A midafternoon nap can
help improve mood, memory, alertness and
learning—and it won't interfere with your
nighttime zzz's, according to New York's Weill
Cornell Medical Center. Naps come in diferent lengths. Researchers at the University of
California, Berkeley, find that a 90-minute
siesta clears the brain's short-term memory
storage center and makes room for new information. Snoozing for 20 minutes improves
alertness and performance without leaving

Bought For My Brother
By spud
from farnborough hants
I bought this for my brother's birthday in May, along with a Che Guevara t-shirt I purchased at the same time (also reviewed) and Mum has told me that my brother loves this top, even though he has not worn it yet. It fits him, which is the main thing. Delivery was swift so thanks for that.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Old and rusty metal gate that keeps staircase and the first floor apart. It is located in a four-story building, once serving as a shopping center. Very interesting and abundant sound.
Recorded with Zoom H4n. Please rate, comment and share. In case you download some of my sounds and use them in your audiovisual artwork, the only thing I ask from you is to let me know where and how they ended up. It would be a pleasure. Please feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions or suggestions. I really try to keep an open mind for everything. Thank you. Peace. Matt
nice sound thanks!!!
Great sound. I used it in part of a reading I'm doing:
(it starts around the 5-minute mark)
I'll use to a theater work. Great record!
did a remix of this sound. good recording.
Perfect for what I'm looking for. Great work. Going to use this in an intro or jingle for my online radio demo. If it gets accepted, listen out on midlandsmetalheads.com :)

Helen Shapiro
With a surprisingly low voice and the composure of an R&B singer many years older, Helen Shapiro toured with The Beatles in 1963; inspired Lennon and McCartney to compose for her the song "Misery" (which they intended for her vocal style); wrote her own B-sides; starred in ("A Hard Day's Night" director Richard Lester's) 1962 movie; and recorded an album of songs in Nashville with (Patsy Cline producer) Owen Bradley. All before her 17th birthday. [more inside]
Wait, this Nicol guy played with the SPOTNICKS? Oh, and that other little outfit from Liverpool, who were they again?
These Beatles clips from a 1965 NME show are straight off the mixing desk, so the voices are way up front. Man, those vocals are so loud you can hardly hear Ringo! But let's back it up just a year, to Holland in 1964, and catch one of the rare performances without Ringo. Aside from his brief stint as a Beatle, session drummer Jimmy Nicol also played with zany Swedish instrumental surf rock band The Spotnicks. So, there you have it: Jimmy Nicol, a lucky fella who got to play with two of the greatest bands in the world! [NOTE: see hoverovers for link descriptions] [more inside]

Gram Parsons fans take note - there's a recent new biography and a release of 90 minutes of vintage Flying Burrito Brothers.

A large single family home in Las Manchas on about 510 m a.s.l. The location of the property allows a wonderful panoramic view across the surrounding mountains of the caldera, the cumbre and of course of the sea.
The house, which has been built ca. 15 years ago, has just been completely renovated and is now provided with new installations of electricity and water.
It has a total of 100 m², spread over the basement and the comfortable attic floor plus about 90 m² of encased arched terraces. The attic holds the parents bedroom.
The entirely equipped kitchen, which is held in bright tones, is on the ground floor. From there one gets to the two children's bedrooms and the bathroom, or, on the other side, the spacious living room. A hidden wooden staircase leads to the room above.
The living room is equipped with large windows and a large French door leads to the roofed terrace with a very nicely arranged barbecue area.
There is a pergola canarian style right in front of the house.
All terraces and the barbecue area are elaborately tiled with natural stone plates (ca. 200 m²).
All inner doors are made of wood, yet the windows and terrace doors are made of aluminium with insulated glass. The living area has wooden ceilings.
The property has a total of ca. 1.000 m² and is not completely arranged. A number of annexes are still in build, like a small wellness area which will later hold a sauna, a bathroom and an outside shower.
The space for the pool is also already foreseen.
Electricity and a phone line are in place, water will be supplied by a rented water share.

I very much enjoy your show on 77 WABC, NY [1]. I have a well and the water pressure is very low, especially on the 2nd floor where the showers are. It affects the dishwasher as the dishes usually don't come out clean. Is there any possible fix for this? The house is a bit over 50 years' old - steel pipes. The well and pump are new (within the last 2 years). The pressure is even low in the basement (washing machine) which is very near the point of entry and near the holding tank.
mwwc 3-19-07 1:37pm
There are two possible causes for this issue. The first is the well. You need to determine how much water is being delivered at the point of entry. There should be a gauge on the pressure tank. If it is maintaining 60-80 pounds when off and 40-50 when running, it should be fine.
If the well pump and pressure tank are functioning properly, the most likely cause of this is your steel pipes. As steel plumbing pipes age, they rust, internally, and slowly but surely close down like a clogged artery. Steel expands to 8 times it's original thickness when it rusts. I have cut open pipes and found them completely clogged by steel.
If your pipes have to be replaced, it is expensive and complicated. I'd recommend a three step approach:
1. First, replace the main water line from the well to the house;
2. Second, replace all accessible, horizontal, steel pipes, such as those in the basement;
3. Finally, replace the inaccessible pipes, such as those that feed the upstairs baths, on a case-by-case basis.
As each step is completed, you'll most likely see a marked improvement in water flow. Finally, keep a close eye on the outside of these pipes. The rust will eventually pierce the outer wall and leak. If you see white, crusty, scabs on the outside of the pipe, don't touch them. This are leaks where water has gotten through and evaporated leaving a mineral salt deposit that sealed the pipe. Pipe like that are in imminent danger of a major leak and should be replaced promptly.

Shane Ferguson and James Tavernier helped their respective loan clubs to friendly victories over Premier League opposition on Saturday.
Birmingham beat Hull City 2-1 at St. Andrew's and it was from Ferguson's 12th minute corner that Matt Green headed the Blues in front.
Andrew Shinnie then made it 2-0 before Sone Aluko pulled one back for the Tigers, for whom former Magpies keeper Steve Harper was an unused substitute.
Meanwhile Shrewsbury were 3-2 victors over a Manchester City XI, with Tavernier completing 90 minutes at right-back less than 24 hours after completing his temporary switch to Shropshire.
However, Tavernier had already played once for the Shrews, appearing in their midweek friendly win over Birmingham as a trialist.

Clovis' fleet-footed quarterback from the unbeaten 1973 championship team died Friday after suffering a heart attack, a family member said.
Mark Anthony Trujillo Sr., 47, of Clovis "was an excellent leader as a quarterback," recalled Mike Prokop, who played football with him that season.
"That sucker could scoot," said Randy Adrian, another teammate and a former Clovis athletic director and football coach.
"He was awesome. He could go and just do it. He was the best quarterback I ever saw," said Phyllis Quintana, Trujillo's sister.
"He was always a good kid — we were all kids back then," Prokop said. "He was a jovial, likable kid. He ran the option extremely well."
Trujillo was one of two starting quarterbacks on the team, Adrian said. "We went 14-and-0, and won the state championship. …
"I hadn't seen him in a long time. His son played for us also — he was Mark Trujillo also — but that was several years ago. I only played with Mark, but I coached his son."
The former football star was a supervisor for Frozfruit Corp.
Quintana said football was always her brother's hobby, and he especially followed the Dallas Cowboys. "And he loved his Wildcats — once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat," she said.
"But his passion in life was his children. He was just starting again," she said.
Trujillo had four children — Mark Jr., 26, Kendra, 24, Francisco, 17 months, and Elena, 2 months.
Although his teammates didn't see him often through the years, they were always glad when they did get together.
"We had a reunion back in 1993, and I got to see him then," Prokop said. "He was always the same Mark. He will be sorely missed."
Adrian said, "We were making plans for our 30th reunion. It's a sad deal."
Services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Clovis, with the Rev. Sotero Sena officiating. Arrangements are under the direction of Muffley Funeral Home.

What an unforgettable weekend! We achieved all the targets of the season, winning as in 2011 the three Championships, and doing it in the last race is very, very exciting! These results pay back everybody in HRC and in the Repsol Honda Team for the great job they all have done during this season! I would like to thank everybody in HRC, all the fans, our sponsor and of course our riders!
Well, I think Marc is a good actor and he was able to keep a smiling face even if he was – which is totally understandable – very nervous. When you must take the Championship in one single race it's not easy, but yes, he definitely managed the pressure in a superb way.
After Jorge and Dani got injured and he remained very strong, with four wins in a row from Sachsenring to Brno, we realized that the dream was possible. But, as we have seen very well, in racing it is not finished until the last lap!
We have so many good memories of this season that it is difficult to do a list! The five races in which we finished first and second was something special and not easy to repeat!
Marc, Dani and Jorge had been in another league this season! They all are super fast and consistent and the battle for the win has been often something very exciting. We must be thankful to them for the great show!
For sure it won't be easy to do better! It seems impossible that these records come from a rookie. Probably the only thing he can improve is the start, as it has been the only "weak" point of Marc this season.
Marc and Dani will have to test the prototypes of the 2014 RC213V and give the engineers as much information as possible to define the new bike. The actual machine has proven to be very competitive, so it won't be easy to do better but… I am sure that our technicians will do it! It will be also a new challenge, as there are new rules with the Magneti Marelli hardware and 20 litre tank, so it will be another interesting season!

Positive and negative symptoms of psychosis may be common in patients with chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but few studies have investigated the use of antipsychotic agents in these patients. This preliminary study examined the potential efficacy of risperidone in treating psychotic symptoms associated with chronic PTSD. In a 5-week, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, adjunctive risperidone treatment was assessed in 40 combat veterans with chronic PTSD and comorbid psychotic features. Most patients were receiving antidepressants and some other psychotics with doses of concurrent medications held constant for at least 1 month prior to and during the study. Thirty-seven patients completed at least 1 week of treatment with risperidone or placebo. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) were used to assess symptoms. The PANSS was the primary outcome measure. At treatment endpoint, risperidone-treated patients showed a significantly greater decrease from baseline, albeit modest, in psychotic symptoms (PANSS total scores) than placebo-treated patients (P<0.05). CAPS ratings declined significantly in both groups but did not differ significantly between groups. However, CAPS re-experiencing subscale scores had greater improvement in the risperidone-treated patients at week 5 (P<0.05, completer analysis) with a trend towards greater improvement versus placebo a endpoint (P<0.1, LOCF). Risperidone was well tolerated with minimal extrapyramidal symptoms. These preliminary results support studying the potential efficacy of risperidone for treating global psychotic symptoms associated with chronic PTSD with a suggestion that core re-experiencing symptoms may also be responsive. Further research using randomized, controlled trial designs in larger patient groups are needed to define more adequately the role of risperidone and other atypical agents in PTSD.

Hi folks,
I think I found the problem. (It's to do with unicode byte order characters before the header comment.) It should be fixed now.
Can you give it another try, and contact support if you're still seeing a problem?
Thanks, and sorry for the hassle.

Javant by Vivica
I ordered this wig on April 14 and although it took a long time to get it, once it was available, I got it fast! Thank you for that! This is my first lace front wig and I love it soo much that I am ordering another one today.
i was in love with this product when i first got it!! its beautiful, looks like real hair, the lace front is extremely well done, soft, great texture. one of my favorite wigs. the only issue i had with this one is that it tangles extremely easily and if you go all day with only fixing it up slightly it will be a tangly mess, which is understandable, but is hard to deal with. overall i am really impressed with this wig and for the price it is a great choice :)
Love it
Javant is the perfect style I love everything about it!!!
love the lacefront!
This was a great choice. It's hard to find good wigs for black women and my favorite thing about this one is that its lacefront.
The price point for Javant worried me a little initially but after receiving the product I was shocked. I cant believe the stellar quality of VF wigs

Age, cancer can't stop Wykoff woman from attending spring training
By Gretchen Mensink Lovejoy
Monday, April 21, 2014 3:10 AM
Irene Jacobson, at right, her daughter, Linda, center, and their friend, known only as "Goldene from Owatonna," are faithful Twins spring training attendees at the stadium in Fort Myers, Fla. SUBMITTED PHOTO
For the past 12 years Irene Jacobson, 94, of Wykoff has traveled to Fort Myers, Fla., to see her favorite team in spring training. This year was no different as she and her daughter, Linda, watched the Minnesota Twins from March 19 to 26.
She and her daughter have been fans for many years as was Irene's late husband, Burton.
"We went to the World Series in 1991," Irene explained. "We had tickets that Sid Hartman had in the paper. You could send in to buy the tickets. They hadn't made the playoffs yet, but I thought that my husband, Burton, would want to go, but he didn't, so Linda and I went. We went to all but the sixth game."
The pair had been baseball fans long before the '91 World Series, and after Burton died, Irene and her daughter, Linda, were restless to travel and became interested in being spectators in the stands under the palm trees, escaping the late-winter Minnesota blues. Traveling to Florida was a great way to gear up for their favorite sport's season, taking in the wins and losses.
That first trip south - over a decade ago - was the beginning of something big...like "baseball-Chevrolet-Mom-apple pie" big.
They've stayed at an extended stay motel each year, located approximately five miles from the stadium, taking taxis to and from games. They root from the outfield, ducking when there's a stray ball. Together, Irene and Linda have sat through rain, long hot afternoons and have met up with a delegation of dedicated baseball ladies from Owatonna to talk statistics and rookies.
The two enjoy having a stadium snack or two and shopping for microwavable meals at the Target store neighboring the motel at night. Irene admitted she loves occasionally going out to a local pizzeria for thin crust pizza.
They're so devoted to baseball that they've even made side trips to small ball diamonds while on social visits in Minnesota and Iowa. Irene recalled they once made an effort to see the minor league teams getting into the final innings.
"We went to a wedding in Iowa and we stopped in Cedar Rapids to see the Kernels play. Byron Buxton was already up before we got there." Linda explained, "He's one of the top minor league players."
This winter threw Irene a foul ball, however, as she was diagnosed with cancer and had to be hospitalized for surgery. This lady certainly wasn't down for a strikeout, though. Once her doctors declared her well enough to be released from the hospital - sending her off with instructions to return several times over the next three to five years - the big decision to go to Fort Myers had to be made.
She related, "When I had surgery, we didn't know if we were going."
Her daughter declared, "You were feeling better, and I decided that if the pipes freeze or not, we've got to go."
They packed their suitcases, boarded the plane, settled into their motel, taxied to and from the games, rain or shine, and cheered the team at spring training.
Both women admit they have doubts about the current Twins lineup - they liked the well-known names such as Puckett, Morneau and Mauer. However, their loyalty to the Twins remains steadfast.
Irene stated, "It's just fun to see them win, but right now, they aren't very good. They aren't going to get anywhere, in my opinion."
Linda appreciates that "it's a summertime game," something that she and her mother can take in together and talk about after they've returned home from Fort Myers.
Irene counts her blessings each morning and in the moments throughout the day that she's still nimble enough to travel to Florida.
She also enjoys an opportunity to stay home with Linda, watch sports on television, give advice on what to plant in the gardens surrounding their house and to take in a day made by God.
"I thank God for being able to do things - that the cancer didn't spread to other parts of my body," Irene added. "I feel he has other things for me to do in life. Otherwise, the cancer would've gone through other parts of my body."
Irene has grandchildren and great-grandchildren whom she loves and prays for all the time that everything will be all right for them. She is also grateful to her daughter for caring for her.
Finally, the ladies like watching other sports on television, though they don't like hockey because it's too hard to keep track of who has the puck.
Irene noted, "Now, we're watching the Timberwolves."
Linda concurred, "We watch and yell at basketball now.

Artist drowns in lake after saving his dog
Vasily Fedorouk, an internationally acclaimed sculptor, drowned Sunday after saving his dog, Era, from Horsetail Lake, outside Chicago.
The 2 1/2 -year-old German hunting terrier went into the lake to fetch a ball but got caught in some vegetation. Fedorouk, 59, jumped into the lake and freed the dog, but wound up getting entangled himself, according to the Chicago Tribune.
"He was waving his hands in the water," his wife, Dilbara Arapova said. "At first I thought he was joking. Then he went underwater and I started to scream. I couldn't help him. I can't swim."
Another man at the scene, who also couldn't swim, called police on a cell phone. By the time police and paramedics arrived, eight minutes later, Arapova said, it was too late.
Fedorouk was found submerged in 6 to 8 feet of water. An official with the Cook County medical examiner's office said Fedorouk died of accidental drowning. Arapova said police told her that Fedorouk apparently got caught in fishing line.
On Monday, Arapova and her son, Anton Fedorouk, 24, described the sculptor as a hardworking, passionate artist. "He would work from sunup to sundown on his sculptures," Arapova said. "That was his passion. He would want to be remembered for his art. He told me that after he dies, his art will still live on forever."
Fedorouk, who immigrated to the United States with his wife from Ukraine in 1992, attended the Lviv Academy of the Arts, in Lviv Ukraine, in the mid-1970s.
Anton Fedorouk was not surprised that his father risked his life for Era. "He loved our dog. He would do anything to save it."

A statewide coalition supporting the Common Core education standards is bringing forward several groups to oppose the latest effort for a repeal. As Statehouse correspondent Andy Chow reports -- the latest is a group of business leaders.
The chambers of commerce from some of Ohio's largest cities were on hand at a House committee meeting to oppose the Common Core repeal. That includes the Greater Cleveland Partnership. CEO Joe Roman says the Common Core standards set a higher mark for students to achieve a deeper level of learning.
"We need children who not only can learn math but can use it and feel comfortable about it," Roman said.
Steve Staub is president of a manufacturing company in Dayton. He says he and other business leaders know first-hand the need for an educated workforce.
"We need people that can actually come out and be able to work and we don't have to re-teach them things that they should've learned in high school," Staub said.
Those opposed to the Common Core believe the standards are part of a federal takeover of the education system. A committee vote on the repeal could happen in the next few weeks.

We had a wonderful day on São Miguel Island, in the Azores Islands. The Azores are a series of nine islands and a cluster of islets in the Atlantic Ocean, located about 1360 km. (850 mi.) west of Continental Portugal. Our port was in Ponta Delgada, the largest city in the islands.
We arrived in port early in the morning. It looked like it was going to a grey and gloomy day, but the weather did improve throughout the day.
The five of us were up early and ready to board the bus at 8 a.m. to visit the Furnas Crater Lake and Terra Nostra Gardens.
Along the route, we stopped in the small community of Ribeira Grande, a picturesque little town.
These are a few of the photos from our stopover.
Frankly, the cobblestone streets were in better condition than our local roads here at home!
The flowers were in bloom in the gardens, mostly pansies, azaleas, and these hydrangeas.
So pretty and so different from the continuing winter landscape at home (it snowed after I left!)
The current village of Furnas below, was relocated after the latest volcanic eruption (1630 AD) which flooded the original village, killing the occupants, and creating the Furnas Crater lake.
|Lagoa das Furnas (Lake Furnas) a volcanic crater lake
The fields, (so green) were edged by stone. The major agricultural activity is dairy used in the production of cheese and butter products.
From Furnas, we travelled to the nearby Terra Nostra gardens. I`ll simply let the photos speak for themselves.
This is a camellia, a flower I don`t believe I`ve ever seen before.
As the petals, they created a blanket of rose petals under the trees. So beautiful!
The weather steadily improved through the day and by the time we reached Ponta Delgada, the skies were clear and the sun was warm.
We chose to be dropped off in the city, and did some walking through the nearby streets. As it was Sunday (and Mother`s Day) most of the shops were closed.
It was a good thing the shops were closed, otherwise I suspect these shoes would have been going home with me!
Back at the ship, we had a lovely evening for sail away. We were treated to a marching band playing on the docks below as the tug boat pulled us away.
What an incredibly beautiful place! São Miguel Island is known locally as the Green Island and it certainly lived up to it.
Not only is it beautiful but the weather is temperate, with lows of only 11C (57F) and highs of 24C (75F). Given the opportunity, I`d return to see more the island and possibly visit some of the other islands. It may never happen, but I`ll always have the memories of an incredible day.

Boeing's newest research aircraft got a public unveiling yesterday, which is interesting for such a future-facing aircraft that's surely destined for a ton of cloak-and-dagger work. It's an unmanned spy plane, and even its looks are creepy.
It's called, fittingly enough, the Phantom Ray—words very suited to its future spying role and its sleek lifting-body shape that is highly reminiscent of those wondrous flat fish. Rolled out yesterday at Boeing's St. Louis plant, it's actually not scheduled to fly until December (and then will have many months of in-flight and ground-based testing). We're not even sure exactly what it's for, other than to test a number of future technologies for surveillance. This likely includes such tech as synthetic aperture radar (for high-resolution radar "maps" of battlefields), infra-red and possibly lidar surveillance systems, electronic snooping and jamming gear and so on. There's a hint or two that it's actually a testbed for unmanned combat purposes, which may mean there'll be provision for launching missiles (or other "advanced" weaponry) aboard the Ray too.
If all that war-fighting tech doesn't tickle your pickle, then the design of the aircraft itself might. The shape of the Ray takes inspiration from airframe designs that stretch all the way back to World War II, with German research into lifting body aircraft, passing through the famous "Flying Wing" and ending at in-service aircraft like the other-worldly B2 Spirit bomber. Its design is intended to result in very low radar cross-section, so it doesn't betray its presence to enemy radar systems, and the engine is buried deep within the 50-foot wide body so that there's little in the way of an infra-red signature to let missiles achieve a lock on it either. Even its surveillance payloads will be blended into the structure, and it's likely that any weaponry aboard will "pop out" when it's needed, before retracting inside the vehicle so it's hidden again. As a result of all these requirements, the aircraft is smooth, a minimalistic sleek blend of form and function that's almost like a Jonathan Ive Apple product.
And in fact, Boeing has revealed that the Ray may have more in common with Ive's shiny consumer products than you may imagine. The 'plane was fast-tracked into existence partly thanks to earlier research into aircraft like this, but also with the aid of rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing techniques. Boeing is obviously going to be careful about telling us exactly how this process worked, but we can guess that it involved RP production of "non-structural" plastic parts to test fitness, then computer-aided robot machining of "real" components out of metal and composite materials. This is how products like the iPad (and Iron Man's gear) get designed, of course, and in this case it represents a significant boon for Boeing, where the complexities of the Phantom Ray's design would mean a prohibitively long production process using more conventional techniques.

Confirmed: George Clooney Was Once a Teenage Human
A "typical" teenage human.
Here follows breaking news regarding universally accomplished laureate in the arts of handsomeness George Clooney. Once, who knows how long ago really, but once upon a time lost to the sands of time, Clooney was a teenage person.
A family friend from Augusta, Kentucky — Ronnie French — has told People:
He was just an average, teenage kid when I first met him. He played basketball and baseball and tennis… Even though he was younger, he wanted to hang around with us older guys... He's still fun today. A couple years ago, he came back and I didn't know. He came up and whacked me on the back of the head and said, 'I still think I could take you in tennis!' George is George. We love him — always have.
Well, that's all the news we have for now. Be sure to check back for updates, since we will be updating this post as more information comes in. An average teenage kid ... You just never know with some people, do you?

Events Calendar > ODC Theater presents HOUSE SPECIAL
ODC Theater PresentsHouse Special Sat. Aug. 18, 2012, 8pmA perennial summer highlight, House Special is the fascinating culmination of a two-week, shared residency among three artists curated by ODC Theater Director Christy Bolingbroke. This unduplicated program for carte-blanche dance-making and a one-night only work-in-progress showing offers audiences a rare and candid look into the artistic process. This year ODC Theater's House Special features not just choreographers David Schleiffers, Anna Sullivan, but also includes the playwright Kim Yaged. Her selection falls in line with the Theater's mission to be a multi-disciplinary venue and its ongoing commitment to the creative process."So many of the artists ODC Theater presents are multi-disciplinary incorporating movement, music, text, and film in their work," said Bolingbroke. "The three artists selected for this year's House Special represent some of the range of inventive performance that we embrace. We aim to provide audiences with a fresh perspective, to show how artists jump in from many different angles."See new works, hear from the artists and immerse yourself in three choreographers' creative experiences. ABOUT THE ARTISTSDavid Schleiffers received his BA with a major in dance from the University of Washington in 2010. While in the Seattle, he danced with Chamber Dance Company for four consecutive seasons, performing works by iconic choreographers such as Bill T. Jones, Doug Elkins, Twyla Tharp, and Zvi Gotheiner. From 2009-2011 he presented work with his company, Quark Contemporary Dance Theatre, at a number of Seattle dance festivals: Seattle International Dance Festival, NW New Works, The A.W.A.R.D. Show! Seattle, Men in Dance, and Chop Shop: Bodies of Work. Since moving to San Francisco in late 2011, he has presented at ODC as a Pilot artist and has performed with Palanza Dance and RAWdance. He recently choreographed Youth Musical Theater Company's production of West Side Story in Berkeley and hopes to continue exploring his passion for youth education.Anna Sullivan is the artistic director of Anna and The Annadroids, a multimedia dance and aerial theater company based in San Francisco. Like a funhouse mirror, Anna and The Annadroids reflects a playfully exaggerated image of early 21st century social conventions that psychopathically promote robotic conformity and mindless overindulgence. Sullivan's choreographic voice includes quirky gestures and symbolic movement vocabulary to invite a give-and-take exploration of the human condition in all its quirky vulnerability. Since 2005 Sullivan has presented eleven original evening-length dance theater events, performed for countless community organizations, received multiple project grants from the Greater Columbus Arts Council and the Ohio Arts Council, performed at the New York International Fringe Festival three times (2006, 2007, and 2011), and in 2008 won the Greater Columbus Arts Council's Artistic Excellence Award of $10,000 for the production Anna and The Annadroids: Clone Zone. Sullivan is currently restaging this production for San Francisco audiences. The full production is scheduled to take place at Dance Mission Theater in November 2012.Kim Yaged is an award-winning writer and photographer with extensive experience in film and television. Yaged's work frequently addresses issues of identity with a focus on using art for social change. Her increasing interest in dance, movement, physical theater, and other non-text based forms of expression has led to her being called a multidisciplinary performance artist. She's currently developing Let's Be One Hand, an interactive art exhibition that dispels stereotypes and increases understanding between people across physical and philosophical borders. Her operetta www.love was showcased by the New York City Opera and won four "Best" awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Production. Yaged received the Kennedy Center's Meritorious Achievement Award for her play America, which also won the Audience Award at the Downtown Urban Theater Festival. Her play Hypocrites & Strippers was a finalist in the Bay Area Playwrights Festival. An excerpt of Hypocrites & Strippers is included in Best Women's Monologues for the 21st Century. Yaged's play vessels was commissioned for the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust in conjunction with an exhibit by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Yaged was a head writer for Ricky is Famous, produced by Jeff Goode Entertainment. Yaged's photographs have been shown in London, Berlin and Tunisia, and her stories and poetry have been published by Random House, Cleis Press, Ballantine Books, Applause, and Arsenal Pulp Press.LOCATIONODC TheaterFind yourself here. 3153 17th Street SF CA 94110TICKETS$30 Arts Patron$20 General Admission$10 Student / Senior (limited availability, must buy in advance)Buy Online Now!Call 415-863-9834Box Office: Wed-Fri 12-6pm

This tile panel in the courtyard of the Church of San Francisco, Cordoba, painted in the Benacazón workshop of Joaquín Soriano, exemplifies the emotive and realistic style of modern devotional azulejos. The tradition of azulejos thrives on commissions from churches, shops and cafés, but rather more restrained than the San Francisco Christ is this monochrome decoration in the Robles Laredo café (below) near Seville Cathedral, recently done but executed in traditional style.
Many of the azulejos are from Triana, which has been a major ceramics centre for centuries, and much of Triana's output is religious, but there is a profane tile panel in Seville unlike everything else you will see, this picture of Groucho Marx (below) done for the Sopa de Ganso café in Seville. "Sopa de Ganso" is "Duck Soup".

Hello IDontunderstand
As far as this specific question is concerned, I think you need to clarify the details.
First, if a wide angle view is required, then it must be a convex mirror. Therefore, if the mirror is represented by a segment of the right-hand branch of the hyperbola, then none of the wall at will be visible, because the reflective surface of the mirror will be pointing in the negative -direction.
Next (on the assumption that the question in fact means the left-hand branch of the hyperbola) I think you will need to know the position of the camera in order to discover the visible width of the back wall. See the attached diagram. Unless you know a point through which the reflected ray must pass, you can't tell the direction of the incident ray.
Try it with a small plane mirror. Stand a few feet away from a wall, with your back to the wall. Hold up the mirror at arm's length and study the width that's visible behind you. Now move the mirror closer to your eye: the closer your eye is to the mirror, the greater will be the visible width of the wall. Well, the same principle will apply even if the mirror is curved.
So you need to get some clarification of what is required in this question.

Quindell's house broker has hit back at claims that the outsourcing company is facing a cashflow crisis.
Canaccord Genuity issued a strong rebuttal yesterday against accusations of financial discrepancies at Quindell, saying that there was "no basis" for them. The broker said that it would be maintaining its "buy" recommendation on the AIM-listed company, which has been described in recent months as being a "country club built on sand".
An article published last month by ShareProphets suggested that Quindell had a £56 million discrepancy between the amount of cash it claimed to be collecting and its expenses, which pointed to

Good Ted Kennedy, Bad Ted Kennedy
No public figure was more divisive in my family – or really, my father's side of the family — than Edward M. Kennedy. None; no politician, priest, or poet compares. My uncle and namesake slapped on the back window of his yellow Ford Pinto a "Kennedy '80" bumper sticker. My dad invoked the words Ted Kennedy as if he had swallowed a sip of bourbon and attempted to pronounce the name of the foul-tasting brand.
My family's reaction to him likely was not representative; as ours was a mostly pious clan of bourgeois Catholics, we viewed him as if he were a distant but famous uncle, a personage of consequence rather than just another politician. Yet my family's dueling reactions curiously symbolized his career. Kennedy, for all of the hagiographic obituaries that the MSM writes about him, was a Janus-faced public figure. There was a Good Teddy, and there was a Bad Teddy.
The good Ted Kennedy did more perhaps to help the poor, disabled, and marginalized than any American politician in the last two generations. A partial list of the bills he sponsored or shepherded to passage reveals a breadth of support for groups that only Lyndon Johnson or Franklin Roosevelt could match: The bilingual Education Act; the Fair Housing Acts; the Age Discrimination Act; the South African sanctions; the Federal Disabilities Act, and the Children's Health-Insurance Program.
The bad Ted Kennedy honored politicians who threatened the poor, disabled, and marginalized. When George C. Wallace in February 1974 announced his candidacy for a third term as governor of Alabama, he noted that several prominent Northern politicians had flown to
the state capitol of Birmingham to kiss his ring. One of those was Kennedy, who contemplated running for president in 1976, a time when the South was still up for grabs. All of those Northerners, Wallace told his followers at a morning press conference, had but one message: "How great thou art in Alabama!"
The good Ted Kennedy was a responsible patriarch. He cared for the children of his brother Bobby after he was assassinated in 1968. He treated his Senate colleagues with uncommon thoughtfulness and decency, calling them right away when a family member had died or contracted a serious illness.
The bad Ted Kennedy was an outrageous cad. Forget Chappaquiddick, although it's difficult given that he crawled out of the sinking car while young Mary Jo Kopechne sat inside. Kennedy reportedly cheated on his first wife from the moment the two were married; in December 1985 grabbed a waitress at Washington's La Brasserie restaurant, picked her up from the table and threw her into the lap of friend Sen. Chris Dodd, whereupon he proceeded to rub his genital area against her; and in September 1987 screwed his blonde girlfriend on the floor of La Brasserie.
The good Ted Kennedy spoke eloquently for and supported the most vulnerable of all human beings. In a August 3, 1971 letter to a constituent, Kennedy made a case on behalf of the unborn that would make Randall Terry weep:
"While the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized – the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old."[1]
Those were no mere words. Kennedy backed them up. In a little-noticed vote in April 1976, he favored a joint Senate resolution to define personhood as beginning at conception.
The bad Ted Kennedy turned his back on the least of these. Not only did Kennedy by the 1980s come out in support of Roe v. Wade; he also supported taxpayer funding of abortion. His most consequential pro-choice advocacy was the 1987 Supreme Court hearing of nominee Robert Bork. Standing on the Senate floor, Kennedy assailed Bork as a jurist whose rulings would force women to resort to "back-alley abortions." Kennedy's verbal assault helped defeat Bork, who would have been a fifth vote to overturn Roe.
I have first-hand experience of Kennedy's Janus-faced behavior. On January 23, 2003, I talked with him for a story I wrote for the late Crisis magazine. The article was about Catholic politicians, Democrats and Republicans alike, whose voting history contradicts Church teaching on core issues. Here is the relevant passage, about my interview with him off the Senate floor:
Kennedy left at 8:44 p.m. and headed toward the white marble steps. He still retains the Irishman's thick shock of hair, although his face is puffy and he now waddles. I asked him about the Vatican's doctrinal note on Catholic politicians. "Well, as I said the other day [at the National Press Club], I take my beliefs, I take my religion very seriously.… My religion has made an enormous difference to my family and my parents," he said calmly, shuffling down the steps.
At this point we were on the first floor, about to head outside. I asked him how he reconciled his liberal stance on social issues with the bishops' view of Catholicism. By the time I finished my question, we were past the maple doors and outside, alone, in the cold northeastern winter night. He stopped and turned almost directly toward me. "Look," he said, displaying that characteristic Ted Kennedy indignation. "I know who I am," he said, pausing for half a second, "and what I believe."
It was that first comment that hit its mark — rather predictably I conjured up images of his two assassinated brothers and imagined all the grief that he and his family had endured. I suddenly felt as if I had no right to question him. In terms of personal suffering, the gulf between us was as wide as an ocean. He walked away, and after dismissing me with a wave of his left hand, I thought the interview was over. I was wrong. Six or seven yards away and still obviously upset, he said of the bishops, "It's their problem, not mine."
Now that he's passed from this side of paradise, his words are prophetic. Catholic prelates will need to decide how to send this most outsized of politicians to his eternal rest. Do they honor his good side, forget his bad one or acknowledge that, maddeningly, he was both?

The NBA All-Star game weekend is almost here, and the excitement is building among most NBA fans.
It's time to take a break from the regular season and enjoy the big game, the Slam-Dunk contest, the Three-Point Shootout and whatever that event with all the passing through tires is called.
Oops, I may have just given it away. I'm not a huge All-Star game fan. It's an exhibition. There's no stats to track, no fantasy implications and no W's going up in the win column for my Boston Celtics.
So I'm scoffing the annual spectacular and I am going to make some outrageous predictions that may not be popular or easily predicted to most NBA fans.

Detroit's Field of Dreams
In a Compromise, Part of Tiger Stadium Will Likely Be Demolished this Spring.
By Christopher Percy Collier | Online Only | Feb. 15, 2008
In the cult baseball movie Field of Dreams, Kevin Costner is called upon to be a preservationist of a different sort. To rekindle the love of baseball, he's inspired to build a baseball diamond in the middle of his corn field: "If you build it, they will come," a voice tells him. In the case of Detroit's Tiger Stadium, however, the baseball field already exists. This former major-league ballpark is 112 years old. The challenge, instead, involves sowing the seeds that will continually bring people to come see it. After all, the last major league ballgame was played here in 1999—and plans for its partial demolition have been slated for spring.
If making the claim that America's love affair with baseball is largely wrapped up in the places where it is played sounds like sensationalist dribble, ask any fan who grew up going to a local ballpark. They'll likely tell you of familiar smells: roasted peanuts, hot dogs, popcorn, freshly cut grass. They'll mention the vantage point from which clouds of orange dust can be seen when a player slides into home plate. They'll talk of the stacks of lights that illuminate an outdoor theater where outfielders dive for fly balls and fans from upper decks swear they saw the play better than the umpire. "Playing fields like Tiger Stadium are considered hallowed ground," says Francis Grunow, executive director of locally-based Preservation Wayne.
Ballparks, it can be argued, are one of the few places where the masses of our increasingly fractured society can still have a collective experience that doesn't involve a television or movie screen. And, as a result, it is not surprising that communities endure a deep sadness when discussions commence with regard to their destruction. Case and point: Ebbets Field, prior home of New York's Brooklyn Dodgers. People wept when it was demolished.
In the case of the Detroit's stadium, the present state of affairs is accompanied by a brutal irony: in cities such as St. Louis, new ballparks have been built to resemble the one their city plans to tear down. "If people started talking about the Roman Coliseum, there'd be a huge public outcry," says Grunow. "It helps give Rome its character." Tiger Stadium, advocates such as Grunow claim, could be celebrated in a similar way in Detroit.
The Fab Four
Tiger is one of the few old American stadiums still in existence. It shares exclusive company with New York's Yankee Stadium, Boston's Fenway Park and Chicago's Wrigley Field. Tiger Stadium was originally Bennett Park from 1896 to 1911; it became Navin Field from 1912-1935, with some renovations; and it was known as Briggs/Tiger stadium from 1938 to 1999, complete with an upper deck.
Tiger Stadium, which opened the same day Fenway did, was built during a time when ballparks were built in a fashion far less cookie-cutter than today. And as fans and players knew well, the stadium had its own set of idiosyncrasies. Outfield seating famously hung 15 feet over right field. Fans could also literally sit over home plate to watch pitches fired over the plate from a perspective unmatched by any other ballpark. It had a true dugout for players, unlike newer stadiums, and it had the only flag pole (125 feet tall) within fair play territory. There was also "Kaline's Corner," where seats had to be removed so that outfielder All Kaline could dive for home run balls without getting injured by the knee high fence; Babe Ruth is believed to have hit the longest verifiable home run ball here. Meanwhile, over one million Tiger fans are said to have passed through it turnstiles for a game.
No More Spring Training
Talk of what to do with this site has undergone many iterations—a National Park, a building-within-a-building. At one point, it looked like the whole park would come down for a Wal-Mart. Then there was talk of justice center being put in its place. Now partial demolition looks more probable (but not definite), as the city has asked a few local organizations to figure out how to save part of this structure.
"The Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy has been given the blessing of the city to realize something new on the portion of the site that's being removed," Grunow says.
According to Peter Riley, who works with the conservancy, "On July 27, 2007, the Detroit City Council voted 5 to 4 in favor of Mayor Kilpatrick's vision to redevelop the site but allow a nonprofit called the Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy to preserve the field and a part of the stadium structure from first base to third base, plus 3,000 seats. The plan is progressing and is supported by the several members of the preservation community. I'm hopeful we will have something to be proud of come Opening Day 2010," he says.
Saving the stadium takes flexibility, says Royce Yeater, director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Midwest Office. "Everyone would prefer to see the site preserved in its entirety, but nearly 20 years of struggle have demonstrated that there are obstacles such a strategy faces that cannot be surmounted, so it seems only appropriate to look at other more creative solutions that will preserve the most historic parts of the stadium in a way that encourages and supports the emerging revitalization in the surrounding neighborhood."
Grunow and others still haven't given up hope that somehow the whole site could be saved. "We are very opposed to the site being leveled," Grunow says. "So we are saddened but supportive of the idea that it can be used in a creative way. We realize that there are certain realities to have a vacant stadium." Despite his support of the present progress, he muses, "You know, it really would be unique if the entire stadium could be utilized." At this point, however, that might require hitting yet another home run for record books.

Behind the Scenes: The National Trust for Historic Preservation's Stance
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has been involved in fighting for Tiger Stadium since the site was first placed on the list of America's 11 Most Endangered Places in 1998. There has been no positive movement on the part of the City of Detroit concerning its rehabilitation and reuse and recently there has been a great deal of speculation that the City's plans for Tiger Stadium involve demolition and development by a big box store or criminal justice campus.
In 2005, the National Trust for Historic Preservation added the Historic Buildings of Downtown Detroit to its list of 11 Most Endangered Places. In response to this listing, the National Trust Midwest Office has been working with an alliance of groups in Detroit who all are involved directly or indirectly with preservation of the city's historic resources, the Greater Detroit Historic Preservation Coalition. The Coalition has agreed to present "one voice" to the City of Detroit when addressing preservation issues and the National Trust is committed to support their duly-considered position.
In May of 2006, representatives of the Coalition met with the community-based Greater Corktown Development Corporation for a presentation about a new plan for Tiger Stadium, the Bennett Park Plan, which Greater Corktown is promoting. The plan is a viable proposal that retains a reconfigured field at a minimum, while demolishing a majority of the stadium structure and redeveloping a mixed-use residential and commercial site in its place.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation has been supporting the work of the Greater Detroit Historic Preservation Coalition (GDHPC). While the coalition would prefer that the site be rehabilitated and reused, they also understand that the probability of this happening is remote. Therefore, the coalition, with the concurrence of the Midwest Office, supports the Greater Corktown Development Corporation plan while recommending that every effort should be made to save the original Navin Field structure for a visionary urban preservation project, that the field should be conserved for community uses, that selective demolition of the stands should be undertaken if necessary to create opportunities for mixed-use development, and that neighborhood concerns about surface parking lots be addressed with appropriate infill and onsite parking solutions.

In the interest of accuracy, the new stadium in St. Louis replaced a 60's era multi-purpose stadium, not an old ballpark. A better example would have been New York, where they are building a new Yankee Stadium to replace the current one.

Household Safety: Preventing Poisoning
What's in this article?
From fertilizer to antifreeze and medicines to makeup, poisonous items show up throughout our homes. Here are some important ways to help prevent kids from ingesting a poisonous substance.
- Don't rely on packaging to protect your kids — child-resistant packaging does not mean childproof packaging.
- Never prepare or give medication to a child in the dark: You may give the wrong dosage or even the wrong medication.
- Never leave vitamin bottles, aspirin bottles, or other medications on kitchen tables, countertops, bedside tables, or dresser tops. Small children may decide to try to copy adults and help themselves.
- Never tell a child that medicine tastes like candy.
- Store all medications — prescription and nonprescription — out of sight and out of reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Even items that seem harmless, such as mouthwash, can be extremely dangerous if ingested in large quantities by children. Just because cabinets are up high doesn't mean kids can't get their hands on what's in them — they'll climb up (using the toilet and countertops) to get to items in the medicine cabinet.
- Make sure purses and bags — yours and guests' — that could contain poisonous items such as medications are kept out of the reach of kids at all times.
- Always keep pills and liquids in their original containers.
- Try to keep a record of how many pills are left in a prescription container.
- Be aware of all medications in your home (and in those of relatives if your kids spend a lot of time there).
Cleaning Products and Other Household Chemicals
- Never put cleaning products in old soda bottles or containers that were once used for food.
- Never put roach powders or rat poison on the floors of your home.
- Store household cleaning products and aerosol sprays in a high cabinet far from reach.
- Don't keep any cleaning supplies, including dishwasher detergent and dishwashing liquids, under the sink.
- Use safety latches for all cabinets containing hazardous substances.
- Keep hazardous automotive and gardening products out of reach in a securely locked area (ideally, in your garage, if you have one).
- When you're cleaning or using household chemicals, never leave the bottles unattended if there's a small child present.
- Don't leave alcoholic drinks where kids can reach them. Take special care during parties — guests may not be mindful of where they've left their drinks. Clean up promptly after the party.
- Keep bottles of alcohol in a locked cabinet far from kids' reach.
- Keep mouthwash out of the reach of kids, as many brands contain substantial amounts of alcohol.
- Food extracts, such as vanilla and almond, may contain alcohol and can be harmful to kids.
Lead Paint
- Don't use cribs, bassinets, highchairs, painted toys, or toy chests made before 1978; these may have a finish that contains lead.
- If you have an older home, have the paint tested for lead. For more information on lead, call the National Lead Information Center at (800) 424-LEAD (5323).
- Keep up on toy recalls due to the use of lead paint — you can receive notifications from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Other Items
- Never leave cosmetics and toiletries within easy reach of children. Be especially cautious with perfume, hair dye, hairspray, nail and shoe polish, and nail polish remover.
- Keep kids away from houseplants — and plants around your yard — that can be poisonous. Either put plants out of reach or buy only plants that are nonpoisonous. A few examples of toxic houseplants include: rhododendron, English ivy, lily of the valley, and holiday plants such as holly and mistletoe.
- Discard used button cell batteries (like those in watches) safely, and store any unused ones far from kids' reach (alkaline substances are poisonous).
Be Prepared
If you're expecting a baby or you already have a child, it's wise to:
- Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the abdominal thrust procedure (the Heimlich maneuver).
- Keep the following numbers near the phone (for yourself and caregivers):
- poison-control number: 1-800-222-1222
- doctor's number
- parents' work and cell phone numbers
- neighbor's or nearby relative's number (if you need someone to watch other kids in an emergency)
- Make a first-aid kit and keep emergency instructions inside.
- Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.
Maintaining a Safe, Kid-Friendly Environment
To check your childproofing efforts, get down on your hands and knees in every room of your home to see things from a child's perspective. Be aware of your child's surroundings and what might be potentially dangerous.
Completely childproofing your home can be difficult. If you can't childproof the entire house, you can shut the doors (and install doorknob covers) to any room a child shouldn't enter to prevent wandering into places that haven't been properly childproofed. For sliding doors, doorknob covers and childproof locks are also great for keeping little ones from leaving your home.
Of course, how much or how little you childproof your home is up to you. Supervision is the very best way to help prevent kids from getting injured. However, even the most vigilant parent can't keep a child 100% safe at all times.
Whether you have a baby, toddler, or school-age child, your home should be a haven where your little one can explore safely. After all, touching, holding, climbing, and exploring are the activities that develop your child's body and mind.

The first time I watched this my memory flooded with all my gaming experiences, from Bomber-man to Legend of Zelda... 'sigh' I actually did cry watching this and I don't care how much of a nerd that makes me it's experiences like this that make me feel like a part of something bigger and more defined. It's so beautiful just seeing the end of all your accomplishments come to fruition.
You take all of your efforts and what to you get if not the amazing feeling deep inside of amazement. Games tat can give you that feeling are better than any movie or book. Because while you are along for the ride in all three, video games incorporate you into the success of the main character, and make you feel amazed when he succeeds, because in turn you succeeded.
That's what makes video games amazing. Thank you for capurign what all true gamers feel deep within my friends. Thank you.

Oregon Foster Parent Union Possible
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Senate is considering legislation that would allow foster parents to form a union. Supporters told a Senate committee Wednesday that foster parents have no voice in the Capitol. They say forming a union would allow them to band together and fight for better resources to help them care for children in need of intense support. Foster parents are paid by the state, and the measure would allow them to form a union as public employees and bargain collectively. They would be prohibited from striking. Critics say unions are not the best solution.

Iowans Return from the Civil War
Return to Iowa After the Civil War
Four short years ago I didn't know these men, how often had they divided with me their meager fare and little comforts. I still see their faces as they answered role calls by day and by night. The canon war has stopped; the battle is over. The Union is preserved; but the scars remain.
The men who had fought so hard returned to their families and tried to take up their farms and businesses where they had left off. But things weren't the same. Families had changed. Some men returned wounded; unable to do a normal days work. The war had been a test to see whether a group of states could remain as a unified nation. Iowa's effort in that test helped prove that the union would endure and Iowans felt a new pride in being part of it.
Hold very still please… that's it.
