the averageyou will find extraordinary
1. Color - In the chaos of extreme temperature and pressure that first created diamonds, traces of elements such as nitrogen and boron could have been incorporated into the diamonds atomic structure. This is the source of the tincture.
The first quality grade of a diamond to be judged is its color grade. Diamond can cover the entire spectrum ofcolors but the majority of diamond colors are yellow and brown.
Diamonds are not all truly colorless, but it's the colorless diamonds, sometimes called white diamonds, which all other shades are judged against.
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has devised a set of guidelines to grade diamond color. The color of graded diamonds is compared to the color of control stones, preselected gems of a specific color.
A lettering system from D to Z is used to identify the amount of color present in each diamond, with D awarded only to rare, totally colorless diamonds.
D, E, F - Colorless.
G, H, I, J - Nearly colorless.
K, L, M - Faintly tinted, usually yellow.
N, O, P, Q, R - Lightly tinted, usually yellow. Tint can be seen with the naked eye.
S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z - Tinted, usually yellow, may progress to brownish. Tint visible to the naked eye, even when mounted.
2. Clarity - The second quality a diamond is judged by is clarity grade. Clarity is how many "inclusions are in the diamond crystal. The fewer there are, the rarer the diamond will be
more light will reflect from the diamond, and the diamond becomes more valuable.
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades diamond clarity using 10X magnification. They tag diamonds as:
Fl, Flawless - No internal or external flaws.
IF, Internally flawless - No internal flaws. Slight external blemishes.
VVS1 & VVS2, Very, very slightly included - Minute inclusions. Difficult for even an experienced grader to detect.
VS1 & VS2, Very slightly included - Minute inclusions. Not easily seen by an experienced grader.
SI1 & SI2, Slightly included - Inclusions that are noticeable to an experienced grader.
I1 & I2 & I3, Included - Obvious inclusions that may affect transparency and brilliance.
3. Carat Weight - The third quality characteristic is the diamond's weight. A carat is a measuring unit of the diamond weight and therefore the size.
Carat weight is used as a measure for other gemstones, but different gems of the same weight aren't necessarily the same size, because some gemstones are more dense than others--meaning that they pack more weight into a smaller space.One carat is divided into 100 points. A diamond of 25 points is described as quarter of carat or 0.25 carats and a diamond of 75 points weighs 0.75 carat.
It is interesting to know that in 250 tons of diamond bear, there is only a single one carat diamond in gem quality. That is why Diamonds are divided into weight groups and a one-point difference in a diamond weight can change the weight group of this diamond and make a huge difference in value.
Larger diamonds are more rare and in more demand than smaller diamonds of the same quality, so they can be sold for a higher price. A one carat diamond solitaire ring is nearly always more expensive than a diamond ring made up of multiple diamonds that are similar, but smaller, even though they total one carat or more.
Diamonds that weigh just under the next full carat are typically less expensive than diamonds passing the full-carat hurdle. In her interview for About Jewelry, Antoinette Matlins offered this opinion about carat weight:
Carat - weight is the easiest of the 4 C's to determine and it is your primary consideration when making this purchase. As the carat weight of a diamond increases so does its rarity and therefore it's price, but remember - Big is not necessarily better.
4. Cut - Of all the 4 Cs, Cut is directly influenced by the human element.
The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance. There is no single measurement of a diamond that defines its cut, but rather a collection of measurements and observations that determine the relationship between a diamond's light performance, dimensions and finish. Most gemologists consider cut the most important diamond characteristic because even if a diamond has perfect color and clarity, a diamond with a poor cut will have dulled brilliance.
Good proportions - When a diamond is cut into good or ideal proportions, the diamond is better able to handle light. The light that enters from the top of the stone is reflected from one facet to another in the stone and then dispersed back to the top ofthe diamond. This creates the sparkle and the scintillation to the eye of the observer.
Shallow cut - Light is lost out the bottom causing the diamond to lose brilliance.
Deep cut - Light escapes out the sides causing the diamond to appear dark and dull.
The first and easiest way to evaluate cut is to compare the Diamonds weight with the next proper diameter size:
Ideal cut diamond model will have a diameter measure of 6.5mm in order to reflect Light to its optimum.
The shallow cut model will measure 6.5mm+ and will "leak" light.
Deep cut diamond will measure only 6.Omm and will have the physical size of a .85 Carat diamond.
Diamonds that are cut into good proportions will have more value. The maximum amount of light will be reflected and greater brilliance will appear. Cut is a matter of beauty, craftsmanship, mathematics and value.

7-year-old asks CSIRO for a dragon

text: Mooshie, are you talking about wavy borders or wavy backing? There are at least 3 reasons the bottom border is wavy... 1. when we quilt on a frame, the fabric can get stretched. When you unpin, it looks wavy. Try spritzing it with water or Best Press and walking away for a bit. When its dry, if the stretching was the problem, it will tighten up...some. 2 the borders don't fit the quilt well. Do you measure before you cut? or do you just cut a long piece and then trim? Its important for the top/bottom and both sides to match each other (not the sides and top..the side to side to match...clear as mud? sorry!) If you search on the QB, you will find border tutorials. if not PM me and I will find some. and 3. as we quilt down a quilt, the quilting pulls the quilt top up, leaving you more fabric along the bottom. I used to think I was doing something wrong, but like needing extra backing, its the nature of the quilting-on-a frame beast. You might think of SID and basting the whole quilt before you actually quilt it. This way you can measure and baste as you go down the quilt. I hope this helps. I'm not a longarm expert by any means...School of hard knocks for me!

Mi-Pow MACA Colour 2200mAh Rechargeable Power Case for iPhone 4/4S Unboxing
I've been using the Mi-Pow MACA Colour 2200mAh Rechargeable Power Case for iPhone 4/4S since December 18, 2012 and yet I haven't uploaded my unboxing video until now. So here it is, for those who are mulling over getting one.
Regarding actual performance, it performs well within my standards for a decent rechargeable power case. Connected to WiFi and 3G 24/7, running videos and audio, browsing the web incessantly and compulsively checking social networks, taking photos and videos — all these and more for 2 straight days (that's iPhone 4S battery + MiPow MACA, results may vary per user/phone depending on actual use). But it does take longer to charge because it needs to be plugged for at least 4-6 hours if you want to make sure you won't run out of juice as you go out and about the offline world.
It is heavy. And bulky. So if you can't make that sacrifice or you carry your iPhone in your slim pocket most times, this rechargeable power case isn't for you. You need to get the slimmer version MACA Air Color Power Case, which they claim to be the "slimmest iPhone 4/4S case". But you'd have to be ready to trade fashion/pocketability and comfort for lesser juice because unlike the MACA 2200mAh, the MACA Air has a capacity of 1200mAh only. As for me, function comes before fashion.
It's been designed to blend well with your iPhone and its plastic sides makes sure it doesn't obstruct Sir Ive's chamfered edge design but it does cover the Apple logo at the back. Because it's thicker and heavier, it's not really a joy to hold for hours but like I said there are trade-offs. But hey, it comes in various colors! Green / Grey / Gold / Navy blue / Black / Red / Purple / Light Blue.
Other Specs
Output Current: 500mA
Capacity: 1200mAh
Cell type: lithium-polymer battery
Cycle life: 500times
Operating Temperature: -10 – +45℃
DC Charging Time: 4 – 6hours
Dimension: 127 x 61.6 x 13.3mm
Weight: 105g
Avaliable Color: Green / Grey / Gold / Navy blue / Black / Red / Purple / Light Blue
I love it and I recommend both the MACA Colour and the MACA Air. If you're an iPhone power use like me, you'll love it too.

More Layoffs at Kodak
Rochester, New York -
More layoffs at Kodak. The company has notified New York State that it expects to layoff 61 Rochester workers by the end of August. Kodak cites the decline in motion picture volumes, which is a majority of the film Kodak still produces. A company spokesperson said, "While certainly not on the scale of last year, we continue to make workforce adjustments, especially at Eastman Business Park, as we align costs to reduced film volumes." Kodak is expected to emerge from bankruptcy this summer.

It depends on what you mean by research. Do you mean something that can be published in a journal or something that is a class assignment? A good topic might be examining the story from a feminist critical perspective and discuss the attitudes of women in the US in the early 20th century. You can examine the men's conversations and the conversations between the women. You could also examine how a story can be transcribed to the theatre as the story was made into a play called "Trifles." You could examine the dramatic elements that are present or not present in the narrative version.

text: In an 1841 Supreme Court case that was a rallying cause for abolitionists, Massachusetts Representative (and former President) John Quincy Adams argued for the rights of West African captives from the Spanish slave ship Amistad. The Africans had mutinied and attempted to sail homeward, but were eventually imprisoned by American authorities. Abolitionists made their case a legal test pitting individual human rights against property claims. Adams argued that racial prejudice underlay the U.S. prosecution of the Africans, and the Supreme Court ruled for their freedom.

Re: what's in a name? (legal and conventional constructions of identifiers)

Thank you. That provides extra info, which imo should be linked from the DefiningVariables documentation. I note that it does not define "letter-like form" and still does not warn users not to use underscores in variable names (which is a known common mistake of newcomers).
In terms of my question, it also does not (directly) address the question of convention that I raised. It is often desirable to break names into parts with a special symbol. (E.g., where many languages would use an underscore.) I'm guessing from what I've seen that users most often introduce symbols of the form prta$prtb. An alternative practice (that I actually have not seen in use, but I'm a neophyte) would be to use contexts: prta`prtb. I find the latter a bit harder to read as a single name; are there other considerations?

perspective and tank dimension
I am no artist, and would like your opinion.
If you have a tank of a given length to height aspect, does the front soil throw that off?
Example: if you start with a 60p, at 24long and 14 high you have the golden ratio, or close to it. Now throw in 2" of soil up front, and now you have 2:1 above the soil line (which is usually what photos are taken of).
Obviously larger, taller tanks wash out this effect, but if i want to custom order a tank and am trying to achieve 2:1, should I start with 2:1 dimensions, then add 2" to the height and place the order?

From the Earth to the Moon HTML version
Chapter 3. Effect Of The President's Communication
It is impossible to describe the effect produced by the last words of the honorable
president-- the cries, the shouts, the succession of roars, hurrahs, and all the varied
vociferations which the American language is capable of supplying. It was a scene of
indescribable confusion and uproar. They shouted, they clapped, they stamped on the
floor of the hall. All the weapons in the museum discharged at once could not have more
violently set in motion the waves of sound. One need not be surprised at this. There are
some cannoneers nearly as noisy as their own guns.
Barbicane remained calm in the midst of this enthusiastic clamor; perhaps he was
desirous of addressing a few more words to his colleagues, for by his gestures he
demanded silence, and his powerful alarum was worn out by its violent reports. No
attention, however, was paid to his request. He was presently torn from his seat and
passed from the hands of his faithful colleagues into the arms of a no less excited crowd.
Nothing can astound an American. It has often been asserted that the word "impossible"
in not a French one. People have evidently been deceived by the dictionary. In America,
all is easy, all is simple; and as for mechanical difficulties, they are overcome before they
arise. Between Barbicane's proposition and its realization no true Yankee would have
allowed even the semblance of a difficulty to be possible. A thing with them is no sooner
said than done.
The triumphal progress of the president continued throughout the evening. It was a
regular torchlight procession. Irish, Germans, French, Scotch, all the heterogeneous units
which make up the population of Maryland shouted in their respective vernaculars; and
the "vivas," "hurrahs," and "bravos" were intermingled in inexpressible enthusiasm.
Just at this crisis, as though she comprehended all this agitation regarding herself, the
moon shone forth with serene splendor, eclipsing by her intense illumination all the
surrounding lights. The Yankees all turned their gaze toward her resplendent orb, kissed
their hands, called her by all kinds of endearing names. Between eight o'clock and
midnight one optician in Jones'-Fall Street made his fortune by the sale of opera-glasses.
Midnight arrived, and the enthusiasm showed no signs of diminution. It spread equally
among all classes of citizens-- men of science, shopkeepers, merchants, porters, chair-
men, as well as "greenhorns," were stirred in their innermost fibres. A national enterprise
was at stake. The whole city, high and low, the quays bordering the Patapsco, the ships
lying in the basins, disgorged a crowd drunk with joy, gin, and whisky. Every one
chattered, argued, discussed, disputed, applauded, from the gentleman lounging upon the
barroom settee with his tumbler of sherry-cobbler before him down to the waterman who
got drunk upon his "knock-me-down" in the dingy taverns of Fell Point.
About two A.M., however, the excitement began to subside. President Barbicane reached
his house, bruised, crushed, and squeezed almost to a mummy. Hercules could not have

text: Apr 28, 2012 - I've been using this product off and on for about a year and full time for several months. I use it as my co-wash and rinse out after low-poo. I like the consistency...that sortof Goldilocks happy medium of not-too-thick, not-too-thin. I know others have mentioned being turned off a bit by the odor but to be honest I haven't noticed it. I also personally value this condish because the company does not engage in animal testing nor are there any 'cones in the formula, both of which are my two important reasons for choosing a conditioner.

Ohioans may not be dining out as much or buying new refrigerators and pickup tracks, but recently released figures from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) indicate they are continuing to purchase firearms at a record pace.
During the first seven months of 2011, the FBI conducted 247,847 background checks for firearm purchases at gun sellers in Ohio, an increase of 17.7 percent from the same period in 2010. Further, checks were up 9.2 percent from 2009 and 42.4 percent from 2008, according to NICS figures.
The number of background checks—along with federal excise tax totals—is considered one of the most accurate measures of gun sales. While not all checks lead to purchases, a very high percentage do.
On the national level, the quarterly Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax Collection report released this week by the Department of the Treasury indicates firearm and ammunition manufacturers reported tax liabilities of $110.1 million in the first calendar quarter of 2011, an increase of 8.2 percent over the same period last year.
The quarterly report, which covers the time period of Jan. 1 through March 31, indicates $37.12 million was due in taxes for pistols and revolvers, $33.71 million for firearms (other)/ long guns and $39.27 million for ammunition (shells and cartridges). Compared to the same time period in 2010, tax obligations were up 18.5 percent for pistols and revolvers, up 7.19 percent for firearms (other)/ long guns and up 0.74 percent for ammunition (shells and cartridges).
Excise taxes on firearms and ammunition sales (also known as Pittman-Robertson funds) are paid quarterly by firearms and ammunition manufacturers, and earmarked for state wildlife conservation and habitat restoration programs. In the past 15 years, excise taxes on firearms have generated more than $3 billion for state wildlife programs, hunter education, shooting ranges and other programs.

I just got a 2000 5.3L Silverado and looking through the maintenance records not much has been done. I just changed the fuel filter and had the transmission fluid filter changed.
Now I am looking at axle and transfer case fluids. I don't see a recommended change interval in the manual? Do these need to be done? And what are the capacities?

ACGME Sleep Fellowship Program
The Department of Medicine under the section of Pulmonary and Critical Care offers four ACGME-approved positions per year for its one-year clinical fellowship training program in Sleep Medicine. The Sleep Fellowship program at the University of Chicago, under the direction of Dr. Babak Mokhlesi, Professor of Medicine, draws upon the enormous resources and diversity of our University. We take pride in our multidisciplinary approach to Sleep Medicine with faculty members with expertise in pulmonary, neurology, pediatric pulmonology and pediatric neurology, endocrinology, pediatric and adult ear nose and throat surgery, and dentistry.
The fellowship program offers unique clinical and research experiences in order to meet our goal of training the next generation of leaders in sleep medicine. The clinical training program meets the requirements of the American Board of Medical Specialties for the Sleep Medicine Board examination. The program also offers a fellowship track with Pediatric emphasis.
Brief History of Sleep Medicine at the University of Chicago
The University of Chicago has a most distinguished history in this field. Sleep research began at the University of Chicago when Professor Nathaniel Kleitman established the world's first sleep laboratory in the late 1920s. He was the first scientist to concentrate entirely on sleep. In 1939, he published the first major textbook on sleep, Sleep and Wakefulness, which rapidly became the gold standard of sleep researchers everywhere. Dr. Kleitman and doctoral student Eugene Aserinsky revolutionized sleep research in 1953 when they announced the discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and its association with dreaming. This finding is usually considered the birth of modern scientific interest in sleep. Later in the decade, Kleitman and one of his students, Dr. William Dement, developed the techniques of all-night sleep recording, using measurements of eye motion and EEGs of brain activity. They used these measurements to chart the sequence of sleep patterns over the course of a night. This changed the established notion that sleep was a single state. The further discovery in 1955 that Narcolepsy had a neurophysiologic abnormality demonstrated by unusual premature REM onset sleep as opposed to the 90 minute delay encountered in normal individuals was a major step in the characterization of this condition. University of Chicago researchers Dr. Allan Rechtschaffen and Gerry Vogel, working with colleagues (including Dr. William Dement), described narcolepsy--the first true sleep disorder--in a landmark paper in 1963. Over the years, Dr. Rechtshaffen went on to become one of the single most respected basic and animal sleep investigators of this field performing experiments in rats that demonstrated the lethal consequences of long-term (two weeks or more) sleep deprivation. In 1968 Rechtshaffen together with Dr. Anthony Kales of UCLA standardized the scoring system for human sleep stages which is currently used today.
The cutting edge research in sleep continues today.
Requirements for Admission to the Sleep Medicine Fellowship Program
The fellowship program values diversity and strongly encourages applicants from a wide variety of backgrounds. Our fellowship program participates in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and therefore applicants need to submit their application through the ERAS system. We will be participating in the National Residency Match Program (NRMP). After we receive your completed application including three supporting letters, your file will be reviewed and you will be notified regarding the advisability of an interview. The requirements include:
- M.D., D.O., or equivalent degree
- Successful completion of an ACGME-certified internal medicine, neurology, psychiatry, or pediatrics residency program sponsored by a major university in the United States or Canada
- For graduates of medical schools outside the U.S. and Canada, appropriate certification by the USMLE/FLEX
- Licensed by the State of Illinois at the beginning of the fellowship
The following documents need to be submitted to our program electronically through the ERAS system:
- Curriculum Vitae and a Personal Statement that delineates your career plans and gives us a brief biography

Clinical Training in Sleep Medicine Fellowship
All fellows in the Sleep Medicine Fellowship Program complete 12 months of clinical training based at the University of Chicago Medical Center, a tertiary care referral hospital serving the south side of Chicago and northwest Indiana and at the University of Chicago Medical Center at 150 East Huron Street in downtown Chicago. Clinical activities include:
- Adult sleep disorders clinic
- Adult interdisciplinary neuromuscular disorders sleep clinic
- Adult behavioral sleep medicine clinic
- Adult CPAP management clinic
- Pediatric combined sleep disorders and behavioral sleep medicine clinic
- Inpatient sleep medicine consultation service
- Adult and pediatric sleep study interpretation
- Portable monitoring sleep study interpretation
- MSLT/ MWT/ actigraphy/ sleep log interpretation
Sleep Disorders Clinic
Training in outpatient sleep medicine is a critical component of the fellowship experience at the University of Chicago. Outpatient training is provided during the entire fellowship in a continuity clinic in the Center for Advanced Medicine on the main campus and at the University of Chicago Medical Center at 150 East Huron Street in downtown Chicago. The Sleep Disorders Clinic consists of Pulmonary, Neurology, and Pediatric experience. We also have an active CPAP follow-up clinic. Each week the fellows attend three to four half day clinics, one of which is the fellow's continuity clinic. The sleep clinics have over 3,000 patient encounters per year. The fellows see patients in collaboration with a dedicated attending physician. Ample time is provided to review findings and to discuss patient care issues. Additional time is used for directed teaching of topics important to outpatient sleep medicine. Fellows assume primary responsibility for managing patients. On average each fellow evaluates 250 new and 450 follow-up adult patients per year. Additionally each fellow evaluates approximately 100 new and 100 follow-up pediatric sleep patients per year. Based on each fellow's primary interest, arrangements can be made to increase the exposure to pediatric sleep medicine.
Adult and pediatric record interpretation
Four half-day sessions are dedicated to interpretation of polysomnograms under the direct supervision of a faculty member. Additionally, during these sessions the fellows learn to assess all types of primary data that contribute to the accurate diagnosis of sleep disorders such as MSLT's, MWT's, history, sleep logs, actigraphy, and pulmonary function testing. Reading sessions may also include fellows in pulmonary and critical care, residents in neurology or pediatrics, and medical students. The clinical sleep laboratories at the hospital campus as well as the 150 East Huron Street are each equipped with a total of 12 beds. Both clinical sleep laboratories are active every day of the week and generate approximately 2,500 polysomnograms per year. Each night two to three of the beds are dedicated to pediatric patients.
Clinical and Research Conferences
The Sleep Medicine Fellowship Program is particularly proud of the quality and diversity of the teaching experience, including the many conferences and seminars. Several important conferences are offered as part of the teaching program:
Core Curriculum: weekly one hour conference during the year covering topics such as normal human sleep, basics of polysomnography, sleep physiology, insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing (obstructive, central, periodic breathing, obesity hypoventilation), pediatric sleep disorders (respiratory and non-respiratory), parasomnias, RLS/PLMD's, pharmacology of sleep, narcolepsy, sleep and other comorbidities (cardiovascular disease, respiratory disorders, endocrine, CNS, and neuromuscular disorders), circadian rhythm disorders, among other topics.
Multidisciplinary Conference: weekly one hour conference including presentation of cases by fellows with a goal of developing a formalized approach to clinical problem solving. During these sessions' polysomnograms or other recorded material are presented as well.
Journal Club: monthly one hour conference during which fellows present and discuss in depth important recent articles in Sleep Medicine.
Research Conference: monthly one hour conference also provides basics on research methodology.

Former Middlesbrough defender Gary Parkinson is acting in a scouting role for the club, despite suffering from debilitating illness locked-in syndrome.
The 43-year-old, who represented Boro between 1986-1993, was working as head of youth with npower Championship club Blackpool until he suffered a severe stroke in September 2010, leaving him totally paralysed.
But with his mind still fully active, he is now helping Boro boss Tony Mowbray scout potential new signings by watching DVDs and then rating them by blinking to his wife Deborah - the only way he can communicate.
"Tony and his coaching staff, like Mark Proctor and Stephen Pears, have been fantastic for Gary," Deborah told the Northern Echo.
"When Tony first came to see Gary, he could see Gary was still aware of everything that was going on around him, so he asked Gary if he wanted to do some scouting for him.
"A DVD comes down to us, with a sheet of paper. There is a description of the player, his name, his age, his position and the clubs he has played for.
"Gary still loves his football, knows all about youth football from his time as the youth team coach at Blackpool, and you can see he picks up when he is doing it.
"I have done it with him and so has my son, Luke."

Well i hadn't written in my diary for awhile so i thought i would update things. Lets see.... I'm in the middle of my second agility class. Its fun to get out of the house, but they switched the class to our schools other lcoation which is smaller and not quite as nice for agility but oh well. I've been doing good, practicing on the teeter and weave poles. I'm pawesome at the chute and tunnel. But i started being weird about the A frame. I used to love it and just run up it on my own all the time. Well in our first level 2 class they had raised it so it was alittle steeper, i didn't know that and ran to go up it but didnt quite make it and fell. Ever since then i've been afraid of it and refuse to go up, even when they lowered it back down just for me. So mom and the trainers are working with me on that. I've been getting along with my classmates pretty good for the most part. I still have to park at them sometimes just to remind them who's in charge.
Its been mighty cold here lately in minnesota. Mom and dad hate it but i love it. I could stay all day but mom says that isn't safe. I only hate that since mom and dad don't like the cold we havent been to the dog park for weeks. I miss all my friends. Mom says im getting cabin fever because i've been a little crazy being couped up in the house. At least we get out once a week for class. And for christmas i got a bunch new treats and toys and chewies so thats always nice. but thats pretty much all i've been up to...jsut waiting for it to get alittler warmer again.
Boy am i tired, i had a really long day but a good one. My morning was pretty usual. But dad came home early in the afternoon and then mom. Then they took me to.....THE DOG PARK!! Once we got there it started snowing, mom wasn't terribly pleased but i love snow. When we got there there wasn't anyone else at the dog park, but that was ok with me i just ran around chasing dad and peeing on all the little bushes. Then some other dogs started to come. First a little poodle yorkie mix came by and we played for a few mins, i liked him. Then my friend the border collie came with his sister the angry yorkie. That border collie is so fast. His mom throws the ball, he chases it, and i chase him. But he gets the ball more than i get him. But its still fun. But then my paws were getting cold and ice chunks were freezing to them, so we had to go home.
After i'd rested for a bit mom and dad took me to agility class. I was excited because dad doesn't usually come to class, so i really wanted to do a good job for him. We've been introduced to all the obstacles so now were just perfecting them. We split into two groups one worked on weave poles and one on the teeter toter. We did weaves first and i'm starting to get the hang of those. Then we switched to the teeter, this was the first time we were really doing the teeter. At first i was all about it, i ran up and the teacher was holding the other end so it didn't bang right away. But then the next time i was running across it it banged on the ground and moved and it really scared me, i didnt wanna move. I'm still not so sure about that thing. The last part of class we did a couple different individual runs. The first one i did really well, it was the A frame, tire, jump, chute, long jump, curved tunnel, then the dog walk. The second course was the triple jump, the teete toter, weave poles, tunnel and pause box. That one was harder but i did pretty good. Also, im starting to get along with the other dogs better, mom and dad were so proud. All in all a really good day, but im real tired now so its bedtime.
Well agility class as been going well for me. I really like it and am doing really good at the learning the obstacles (at least thats what mommy and the trainer say). But i can tell mom is getting a little distressed because i'm not really getting along with all of my class mates. Last night i almost got into two fights, but it wasn't all my fault. Mom thinks i really dont like golden retrievers, there is two in my class and no matter what is going on i always want to go and bark at them and i don't act nice to them at all. Mom just doesn't get it. I'm ok when were sitting around watching or learning something but when we start running around i get really hyped up and act like i want to go after these other dogs. Mom hates having to yell at me since we're supposed to be at class for fun. But she had to get rather stern with me many times last night. The trainer said she thinks it might be leash related since i'm fine with other doggies at the off leash dog park. And that mom shouldn't be discouraged. she said we need to work through it. But mom feels bad for the other parents there. I just think it should be just me in the ring, don't the other dogs understand that those are my obstacles. I guess i'll try and be better next time,i don't like mom being mad at me.

14 TONS of Local Food Donated to Community Servings!
Egg-stra special donation from Pete & Gerry's Eggs!
They donated over donated 300 dozen Heirloom Ameraucana Blue eggs to us.
We used the eggs to prepare frittatas, egg salad and bread pudding for our clients.
It's growing season and that means Community Servings has been receiving tons of local produce donated from generous Boston area businesses. Because our knowledgeable kitchen staff can seamlessly incorporate almost any donated ingredient into our menus, we're able to prepare fresh, delicious meals keeping food costs at $5 a day.
In the last year alone, 25% of our produce came from the 27,650 pounds of fruits, vegetables and dairy products given to Community Servings - all of these donations are worth over $55,000! Through a partnership with local farmers and purveyors, we receive fresh food that remains unsold or left in the fields. We're able to put it to good use creating medically and culturally appropriate meals for our clients who are too ill to shop and cook for themselves. Everything finds a place in our kitchen - whether it be beautiful produce, delicious bread, milk, coffee, eggs, yogurt or ice cream.
A huge thank you to the following businesses who help make sure we can provide high quality meals to our critically ill neighbors struggling to feed themselves and their families:
Farmer Dave's - Farmer Dave's was opened in 2006 and is located in Dracut, Massachusetts. The farm is committed to working closely with those trying to preserve farmland for future agriculture. They offer CSAs, have Farm Stands, are at Farmers' Markets and participate in Share-a-Shares.
The Food Project - Since 1991, The Food Project has built a national model of engaging young people in personal and social change through sustainable agriculture. Each year, they work with over a hundred teens and thousands of volunteers to farm on 40 acres in eastern Massachusetts in the towns and cities of Beverly, Boston, Lincoln and Lynn. Food from their farms is distributed through their Community Supported Agriculture programs, Farmers' Markets, and to hunger relief organizations.
Land's Sake Farm - Land's Sake combines ecologically-sound land management practices with hands-on environmental education to model how public open space can be used and enjoyed by the community.
When Pig's Fly Bakery - At When Pigs Fly, they bake old-world, artisan breads fresh, every day, using the finest organic, natural ingredients.
MooMilk - Maine's Own Organic Milk Company produces high quality organic milk. They are dedicated to keeping organic family farms across Maine in business. The farms that produce their milk share ownership in the company, and 90 percent of their profits are returned directly to those farms.
Pete & Gerry's Eggs - Pete and Gerry's is a real family farm. They've produced high-quality eggs for four generations in the heart of New Hampshire's White Mountains. They're committed to producing fresh, organic, cage-free, Omega-3 eggs from hens that are Certified Humane. This commitment remains unchanged as they add other family farms to their farm family.
Equal Exchange - Equal Exchange has created Big Change since 1986. Their founders envisioned a food system that empowers farmers and consumers, supports small farmer co-ops, and uses sustainable farming methods. They started with fairly traded coffee from Nicaragua and didn't look back. Today, they continue to find new and powerful ways to build a better food system. They partner with co-operatives of farmers who provide high-quality organic coffees, teas, chocolates, bananas, olive oil, and almonds.
Batch Ice Cream - They make ice cream fully from scratch using real ingredients, many of which are sourced locally and Fair Trade.
Chobani Yogurt - Chobani was founded on the belief that people have great taste. They just need great options. That's why Chobani was started back in 2005 — to make high-quality, great tasting yogurt made with only natural ingredients available to the masses.

On Saturday in Schwerin, the capital of the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, will host an special "Universum Champions Night" with two world championship fights and a much-anticipated debut. The event at the Sport and Kongresshalle will feature local boys and world champions Jürgen Brähmer and Sebastian Zbik. Today all boxers met for the first time in a frosty atmosphere at a press conference held at the Alpine Centre Hamburg-Wittenburg.
Brähmer (34-2, 28 KOs) will defend his WBO light heavyweight championship for the first time against unbeaten WBO #10 Dmitry Sukhotsky (14-0, 9 KOs).
"I'm thrilled that we nearly have a sold-out house for a great fight night in Schwerin," said WBO light heavyweight world champion Jürgen Brähmer. "Every fight is difficult and of a high standard. And then it's a home game. However, I don't think anything will go wrong since I had a good preparation. I have full concentration — although there were enough distractions. People from everywhere were calling me so I even turned off my cell phone."
Brähmer's trainer Michael Timm commented "This fight is something quite special. I've been with Jürgen since 1994. He wanted to become a world champion, and now he is and he's making his first title defense in his hometown. If you come from this town, which is a real boxing town, this is something special. It tingles in the belly."
Challenger Dmitry Sukhotsky stated, "I've seen videos of Brähmer. I have no fear of him. I'm not worried at all. In this weight class anything can happen, one punch and it can be over. So I'll be looking for my chance. In Siberia it's 40 degrees below zero, here in Germany it's two degrees above. This change is my biggest problem."
WBC interim middleweight champion Sebastian Zbik (27-0, 10 KOs) will make his first title defense against unbeaten Emanuele Della Rosa (22-0, 7 KOs).
"Last time at the Nurburgring, I wasn't perfectly prepared due to an eardrum injury," said Zbik. "This time not everything went perfect, but much better than in July, so I'm optimistic. I grew up in a village of 200 people near Neubrandenburg. I think 150 of them will be sitting in the hall cheering me on. You can't be tense and lose your form if so many expectations are there. I guess Emanuele is similar in strength to my last Italian opponent and he'll always be moving forward."
Trainer Fritz Sdunek: For me this is also a great experience. If one sees how many boys who have become Olympians and medal winners have gone through this school in Schwerin, it's fantastic. I'm very proud that with Michael Timm a local athelete has gone on to become a successful trainer. Saturday will be a great evening."
Challenger Emanuele Della Rosa said, "Sebastian is a good boxer and world champion and a tough opponent. But I will defeat him."
Another highlight of this boxing gala will be the pro debut of world amateur welterweight champion Jack Culcay for Universum Box-Promotion. The first German amateur champion in 14 years, Culcay will take on Jindrich Kubin (5-2-0 (3)) at junior middleweight, a division with a German tradition. Eckhard Dagge (1948-2006) won the WBC world title in June 1976 in Berlin to become the first German boxing champion since Max Schmeling.
"I'm happy to be making my pro debut," said Culcay. "I've signed my exit papers with the German Army. Now I'm already counting the hours until it finally starts."
Culcay's trainer Michael Timm added, "The sparring sessions were very promising. He's managed the transition (from amateur to pro) very well. I hope it stays that way. One thing is certain: Jack is a jewel."
Also in action will be unbeaten featherweight prospect Marcel Meyerdiercks (14-0, 5 KOs), another highly regarded Schwerin fighter, taking on Felix Lora (8-5-2, 4 KOs).
Cruiserweight contender Alexander Alekseev (18-1, 16 KOs) will appear in a ten rounder vs TBA as he prepares for another world title shot.
2008 Olympic heavyweight champion Rakhim Tschachkijew (2-0, 2 KOs), will contest his third professional fight in the cruiserweight division against Igor Pipilenko (4-5-1).
Spectacular flyweight Pal "Pimpa" Bedak (5-0, 3 KOs) takes on Lahcene Zemmouri (17-12-1, 10 KOs).
Unbeaten light heavyweight Igor Michalkin (10-0, 7 KOs) who takes on Doudou Ngumbu (20-1, 9 KOs) in what looks to be a compelling matchup.
In other bouts unbeaten super welterweight Damian Jonak (23-0-1, 12 KOs) faces Vasile Surcica (13-29-2, 5 KOs) , plus Mariano Nicolas Plotinsky (15-3, 8 KOs), who defeated Thomas Ulrich in March, will also see action.

When will you actually be moving? I'm sure you are eager to have the move behind you and be back in USA, even if you will miss that which you have enjoyed in Buenos Aires.

I think it might take maybe 2-3 months for all paperwork etc to be finalised .. I am looking forward to Spring in the US. If it is earlier, we will be happily surprised. So we treasure our moments left, living here .. cranky and all :)

I'm just guessing here...or maybe you've come to the same conclusion...but your maid/housekeeper - has probably replaced you??? And another question? Just curious really -- your upstair neighbour? Can't be made to do repairs? Don't they have any sort of assistance for that kind of thing? Like condo boards or homeowners insurance? If this was happening to me---well--- but I'm probably bitchier.

fiftyfinally, we must sit down and have tea and discuss our bitchiness :)
The maid actually loves us. She takes very good care of us, when she actually comes here.
She is just not a dedicated worker :) Her daughter emailed me, apologized ( did she read this ?) and gave her moms excuses.
Here the condo board is a Consortio and yes, they are taking care of things .. thank goodness for them, they take care of us like family ( better than some families).
The fun of living in a foreign land, they don't do things they way they do "back home" :)

WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 25, 2013)-- The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) congratulates longtime NABJ member Rochelle Riley for winning first place in the National Headliner Awards for "Local Interest Column on a Variety of Subjects." Riley is a columnist for the Detroit Free Press.
The National Headliner Awards honor the best in journalism in newspapers, photography, radio, television and online. The awards were founded in 1934 by the Press Club of Atlantic City. The annual contest is one of the oldest and largest in the country that recognizes journalistic merit in the communications industry. To read the complete list of winners, please visit here.
Riley has contributed greatly to NABJ's programs including serving as a mentor to journalism students in the association's annual Student Multimedia Project at the national convention.
A 12-year veteran of the Free Press and a 2008 Knight Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan, Riley has been an editor or reporter at The (Louisville) Courier-Journal, The Dallas Morning News, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and The Washington Post.
When asked about some fun facts about herself, Riley said she abandoned being a vegan because it meant not eating North Carolina barbecue and she still believes in Santa Claus.
advocacy group established in 1975 in Washington, D.C., NABJ is the largest
organization for journalists of color in the nation, and provides career
development as well as educational and other support to its members worldwide.

st: Cutting out the middle macro [was: RE: Using a scalar/macro for loop limit ...]
"Nick Cox" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
st: Cutting out the middle macro [was: RE: Using a scalar/macro for loop limit ...]
Tue, 4 Nov 2008 19:14:28 -0000
Thomas Jacobs reported that he was unable to figure out how to use
a scalar or a local macro for the maximum index of a loop. In
he had tried for a loop over companies identified by -Companies-
summ Companies
scalar Count = r(max)
forvalues i = 1/Count {
But that triggered an "invalid syntax" error.
Maarten Buis and Martin Weiss between them pointed out that the
immediate fix here -- in code that uses a scalar -- is
forvalues i = 1/`=Count' {
while if you use a local the code could be
summ Companies
local Count = r(max)
forvalues i = 1/`Count' {
There was then some discussion about their relative merits. In essence,
if the number is really, really big a scalar is preferable to a local,
but almost always that difference won't bite. It seems safe to say that
it won't bite with numbers of companies.
But for the problem specified my answer to the question "Scalar or
local?" is "Neither".
Take a step back and consider what you are asking Stata to do.
1. Run -summarize- and as a wanted side-effect put the maximum in
2. Put the value of r(max) in a local or scalar.
3. Loop using -forvalues-, picking up the maximum for the loop index
from where it is stored.
But 2. is unnecessary. You can go direct from 1. to 3. Examples first,
explanation later. You can do this
summ Companies
forvalues i = 1/`r(max)' {
or this
summ Companies
forvalues i = 1/`=r(max)' {
It is largely a matter of style which you choose, except that StataCorp
could advise on which is a smidgen of a smidgen faster.
In essence r(max) can be thought of having a local macro persona
`r(max)'. Alternatively you can invoke the usual way of evaluating an
expression on the fly, i.e. r(max) is an expression (which happens to be
a single term) and `=r(max)' evaluates it on the fly so that -forvalues-
never sees r(max), just its value.
This technique has been called "cutting out the middle macro".
I did say pedantically "for the problem specified". If you need the
value of r(max) for something later in the code, then you need to store
it somehow and a local will be useful. But that's not explicit in this
problem and in my experience it is more common than not that you don't
need the intermediate storage in something else.
A separate twist is that whenever you want the maximum only it is more
efficient to use -summarize, meanonly-. Despite its not very well chosen
name, the -meanonly- option will calculate the maximum. StataCorp
developers themselves often miss this nuance.

Here's something to look forward to this weekend, coz you know good Longboarding is in La Union:
"La Union is known to be the home of the best longboarders in the Philippines. From progressive to classic stylists, you can find most of them here. In an effort to promote longboard surfing amongst the next generation, we're planning to have a small competition for the kids.
Most longboarding comps are for adults and/or pros, while kids their age are neglected. Hence this competition, which will serve as an avenue for them to showcase their skills and talents. It's sure to be fun watching our young longboarders surf it out. So come over and see this first longboard competition for the kids."
– from Jeff Ganuelas of Moonshine and Saltwater
The grommets are really amazing in La Union. But don't let me tell you that. Here's a teaser for the fun competition:
clips by Buji Libarnes/Jeff ganuelas
The art of Longboarding is really alive in La Union thanks to passionate people who keep things how it should be – classic, stylistic and most importantly, fun. Just like the folks over at the Log House – a mix group of locals and surfers from Manila who not just enjoy longboarding as it is, but actually makes longboarding a movement. And with the Time to Hang event it is ensured that the next generation will also make the art of logging a part of them.
Now we gotta go watch them kids! See you in LU, May 26, 2012.

Last tax-free weekend in North Carolina
NORTH CAROLINA - It's a time for back-to-school shoppers, or anyone else, to buy popular items, without paying sales tax. Although the state-wide sale known as tax-free weekend is coming to an end.
Last week, Governor Pat McCrory signed a tax reform bill that makes this year the last back to school tax-free weekend in the state.
Debbie Bradley, the marketing manager for the New Bern Mall said, "not having this boost is almost like not having Christmas. It's that big for us."
Encore Dept. shoe store manager, Jason Geir, agreed. He said it is the second busiest weekend of the year. He says tax-free weekend can make up at least one-percent of their sales in a year. Geir also said the summer is very slow in the shoe business, and the tax-free weekend helps a lot.
Every first weekend in August mother of two Joanna Reagan said she stocks up on school supplies. She said it can get pricey buying all the essentials for her kids.
"The cool ones cost extra so just saving the extra money is good because every penny counts, especially in today's economy," she said.
Items that qualify this tax-free weekend include clothes, sporting equipment, computers, tablets and school supplies. There are also price restrictions on how much you can spend per item for it to still be tax-free. For example, under school supplies, you can spend up to $100 on each item. So a calculator priced at $99.99 is still tax-free, but anything higher will not be tax-free.
Kahn Freeman is the assistant manager at Citi Trends in New Bern.
"Ever since tax-free Friday, Saturday and even today we've had an overwhelming amount of people coming in," Freeman said.
She said its weekends like this that make her business thrive.
"Well you hate to see it go because it's like a second Christmas for us, and people look forward to this because like they say it's a tax break," Freeman said.
According to the North Carolina Department of State Revenue, tax free weekend cost the state an estimated $13.6 million last year. This year the holiday is expected to cost the state around $13.4 million.
Lawmakers for the new tax bill hope that with a lower income tax year-round, which is part of the new bill, people will still shop during the back to school season.

Sleepy Sheep Ranch108 W. Grand Street Whitewright, Texas USA
Sleepy Sheep Ranch Do not buy meat from this company! Whitewright Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I purchased a Groupon for lamb meat. The Groupon was $30 for a $65 gift certificate. I have never received such poor services and false promises from a company. My order of rack of lamb was delayed not one, not two, but three times! And each time I had planned to have company over for this special meal and had to figure out plan B with very short notice.
Not only did they keep delaying the shipment, they were terrible at communicating what the status was. After it was delayed the first time, I was promised that it would be overnighted the following week and would include "extras" to make up for their mistake. Once again, it was not sent that week and when I finally did receive my order today, it was sent two-day and there were no "extras." Because it was not overnighted as promised, the lamb meat was room temperature when it arrived. Since the meat is not fresh, I am not going to take any chances eating or serving it.
David and the employees at Sleepy Sheep Ranch obviously can't handle taking and fulfilling orders of fresh meat, so they should stick with the horseback riding sector of their business. I am normally a very easy person to please and I understand that mistakes happen, but I have reached the point where I can't believe anything these people tell me and do not feel like their apologies are sincere. I feel as though I have been scammed and I do not want other people to have the same experience I did.

Career Coaching Advice: Make Speedy Headway. Get Out of Your Head.
Life is more than you imagine. Please stop waiting to live.
On an inspired path, we do not find clarity by waiting to find clarity. We move when we're guided. And we let the new experience guide us further. We always need "live" information. Then we can make a determination.
There is no synergy in a vacuum. You can ponder for a lifetime—I'd rather you jump into the pond—even for an hour. You know it's not reckless to try something. It's conscientious. It's responsible. It's the only way to secure up to the minute accurate and meaningful information.
Even science works this intangible way, only they use sexy valid scientific names like hypothesis or experimentation. And then of course all is well. All is ordered. But really it's not too much different than throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks, or just following the old world divination sticks of instinct.
For example a doctor might treat a patient with a "drug protocol." They don't say, "We have no Goddamn clue for how your cells will react on this Tuesday to this onslaught of drugs and chemicals." But they know they need to know. So do you.
That's why I'm suggesting you do a "protocol" and try something out in your life. Try writing for an hour on Wednesday night, avoiding negative thoughts about your co-workers on Monday, taking that part-time job on Tuesday, taking a salsa dancing class, signing up for an entrepreneurial success program, or ditching a program you started. Try something out.
You don't have to make something work– something will work for you. It's about paying attention. It's about trusting your body and soul to let you know. Scientists study the reactions and results. So do we. But you have to have something to interact with, other than a theory. A theory isn't even a freckle on the nose of real life.
And by the way, the other reason you want to test things out in life, rather in the worthless laboratory of your mind, is this: the limited should not be the one who defines the unlimited. That means you don't always know where your best answers are. That's why we pay attention to hunches and sparkles even when we have no proof. You don't need proof. You need a suggestion. You need an invitation. And then you need to check it out with your life.
Find out what's true for you. Get muddy, get affected, get out of your head and into your life. It's where the answers are. And they are healing and wonderful beyond your imagination.
What can you try today?
