Beyonce Hosts A Screening Of 'Live At Roseland: The Elements Of 4′
Beyonce, wearing an embellished black dress with a plunging neckline, showed off her bump on the red carpet last night (November 20th) in New York City. The expecting superstar hosted a screening of Live at Roseland: The Elements of 4 at the Paris Theater, a look back at her in August which sold out in 22 seconds. According to the Daily Mail, the video will be streamed tonight on VEVO and VEVO@YT, viewable worldwide, on Beyoncé's Vevo channel – BeyonceVEVO.
The DVD will also feature a montage of special moments, including a look at Beyonce's wedding dress back from 2008. In the montage, Beyonce says to fans, "It's taken a lot of hard work to get to where I am. I searched all around the world and found myself. You're my inspiration."
VIDEO: Many Wonder If Beyonce's Baby Bump Is Real
Jay-Z spoke to GQ about the upcoming birth of his first child with Beyonce, due in June. "Providing – that's not love. Being there – that's more important. We see that with all these rich socialites," Jay-Z told the mag about his plan to be a very "hands-on" dad. They're crying out for attention; they're hurting for love. 'I'm not being judgmental, I'm just making an observation."

Also, I am taking Cystplatnum as one of the chemicals for my chemo treatment...I had 3 seizures...my oncologists thinks it may be a side effect of this drug...we are checking other things as well. Has anyone had this side effect using this drug in their chemo plan? I am taking Dilantin for the seizures. Keep on keeping on!! Don't let this cancer beat you...and attitude is everything.

text: The Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) is a multi-day competition that places college teams in the role of maintaining and defending the IT infrastructure of a fictional company. Since the competition's inception in the Pacific Rim area six years ago, UW-CSE has put together a team every year and has won the regional competition six times as well as the national competition twice. This team, which originally formed itself to compete in CCDC, has since grown out to also compete in international capture the flag computer security competitions. Our philosophy is to create an environment that allows motivated and passionate students to train themselves alongside each other, as opposed to the alternate but also very reasonable philosophy of structured training. This isn't to say that there is a lack of organization. Rather, we are emphasizing a philosophy where the organization and goals are defined by the students themselves. By the nature of this philosophy, the students are in control, and strategies on getting such a group rolling is nebulous. To address this, we will discuss how to foster an environment for such a team. Important topics include recruiting, goal setting, student leadership, student mentorship, and physical resources for the students. We will also discuss our history as an example of how our students have organized themselves around furthering their personal career goals and short term competition goals. This presentation would be particularly useful for other schools who wish to unify their passionate cyber security students together.

Whitefish School District questions decline in enrollment
WHITEFISH, Mont. - Enrollment at Whitefish schools has dropped over the last 10 years - 8% at the elementary level and almost 30% in the high school. Numbers like those are troubling to several school board members.
"There's ANB - average number belonging which relates to the money we receive from the state based upon your enrollment. As that continues to drop then we look at getting less money," said board trustee Charlie Abell. "What does that mean? Means we can offer fewer programs, difficult to pay the teachers what we need to pay them."
Students say they're drawn to other districts because of advanced curriculum or stronger sports programs.
"The scholarships are a lot better there," said Whitefish HS student Rachel Dunlap, of Kalispell schools. "There's more of them. But there are also more kids there so there's less opportunity here."
The county superintendent said there are various reasons for the decrease, and she supports Whitefish's idea to find a way to track students and why they transfer out. But Abell figures it boils down to offering a better education.
"If you're not trying to become better and more successful then you're missing the boat," said Abell. "I think Whitefish has had a great, quality education and... we need to demand that."

Some airline passengers are being left with a bad taste in their mouths, Sarah Thomas reports.
Among the volume of correspondence Virgin boss Richard Branson receives each day, it must be a rare occurrence that he faces the following question: "Answer me this, Richard, what sort of animal would serve a desert [sic] with peas in?"
This, and more hilarious and pertinent questions, featured in a complaint letter sent to Branson by a disgruntled - and hungry - Mumbai-Heathrow passenger.
The letter, tagged as the world's funniest complaint letter, has since circulated the globe as a viral email. It not only garnered the writer a personal call from Branson but served to highlight the power of the internet as an independent force for consumer rights.
"It's that old adage: if you had good service you'd tell five people, if you had bad service you'd tell 12 people," says the Customer Service Institute of Australia's executive director, Brett Whitford. "Well, now you can tell 12 million people on the internet - and once something's on the net, it's really hard to get off."
There's nothing in law to say that airlines must provide palatable food.
The letter painstakingly describes to Branson the passenger's "culinary journey of hell", complete with accompanying photos and witty observations. Tearing back the tinfoil on the main meal, for example, is described as akin to the disappointment of being a child and discovering your dead pet hamster on Christmas Day.
The writer, later revealed as London advertising executive Oliver Beale, has been offered the opportunity to test food and wine for Virgin but generally there is no consumer recourse for bad airline food.
Travel Weekly news editor and aviation expert Justin Wastnage says the consumer has very few rights when it comes to airline customer service. In fact, he says airlines aren't obliged to give passengers food at all.
"It's just custom that they do but obviously it is a selling point," Wastnage says. "When choosing between airlines, you're either choosing on cost or on service."
He says passengers have some legal recourse with airlines for delayed or cancelled flights or lost baggage but nowhere in the conditions of carriage is quality of service guaranteed.
"If you went to a restaurant and the food is bad, you wouldn't eat there again and that's no different to an airline giving you bad food. The [letter writer] probably wouldn't recommend Virgin to his mates and ultimately people need positive referrals.
"But there's nothing in law to say that airlines must provide palatable food."
There is some hope on the horizon for beleaguered air travellers, however.
Qantas, which has weathered a public-relations storm over service and safety in recent times, has just opened a $10 million Centre of Service Excellence in Sydney, aimed at improving training for staff and setting "world-leading customer service standards".

Tire Pressure
I didn't see any threads on this when I searched. So Ill post it here.
I have factory tires on my new Jeep. They are inflated to the pressure
that the factory or dealership put them at. However according to the
Tire pressure monitoer on my dash board, its about 10 psi higher then
what the doorjam tag says. I havnt checked them with a pressure gauge
yet though.
Just wondering if anyone besides me has noticed that too?
If you have an unlimited or higher trim than the sport, it has slightly bigger tires. I have a 2013 sahara unlimited and the pressure is at 40 psi but the door says 35. Just look at the tire itself and always go by that.
36 lbs
:dance:hi, I have the factory tires 17", and keep them at 36 lbs, just did my first rotation and the jeep dealer set them to 40, however the ride was
to firm for me:nonono: got a 2012 with auto/power package and 5K miles. May
trade for a diesel when wrangler gets it..have fun every day!:)
I think your vehicle manufacturer has those tire pressure numbers on the door jam for a reason. The max pressure stamped on the tire sidewall is exactly that... the maximum the tire manufacturer recommends. It's not what the vehicle manufacturer deems the maximum pressure should be for safe operation. I'd use the door sill numbers.
My '13 Altima came with higher pressure than the recommended pressure.
This: I've made the 'go by the tire lable pressure' mistake before and ruined a set of tires when I had my '93 Shadow. Doorjam said 32, tires said 44, I went 44, and had to get a new set withen 2 months. I just think it's odd that it would come over-inflated brand new though. Still havent put a tire gauge on it though. Got it a little dirty today :punk:
Just an opinion but I wouldn't trust the TPMS for anything.
From the time I bought mine (09 Rubicon Unlimited, bought new) I have never been able to get the TPMS indicator light to stay off consistantly through a range of tires (stock to 33's to 37's) and driving situations even with adjustments made with a ProCal unit.
It is my opinion that the TPMS is primarily a CYA item for the manufacturers (stemming from the Explorer/Firestone thing a decade or so ago) and an owner convenience item second.
A good quality pressure gauge and door jam pressures for stock tires. Anything other than stock and it's wide open for guessing.
Sounds good to me
Thanks! :)

In an abrupt reversal, the city of Lancaster voted late Tuesday to be more welcoming toward minorities receiving public housing assistance, ending a discrimination lawsuit that it had steadfastly fought for more than a year.
"We're going to put down our rifles, pick up our shovels and grow a community," Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris said Wednesday after a news conference explaining the city's position.
The Community Action League and the California State Conference of the NAACP agreed to drop their discrimination lawsuit after Lancaster agreed to promote fair housing for all and to review existing ordinances and regulations that may be discriminatory.
"We've said from the day we filed this lawsuit that we want Lancaster to be one community where everyone is welcomed," said V. Jessie Smith, a founding member of The Community Action League, which, along with the NAACP, sued the city in June 2011.
"Today, we stand with Lancaster in its commitment to end the rhetoric of conflict and help this community heal," he added. "This is a significant representation that Lancaster is open to anyone - regardless of race, nationality, color or creed."
Ron Hasson of the California State Conference of the NAACP said, "Lancaster has committed in the agreement to respect the rights of families to live where they choose, no matter how they pay their rent."
"We wanted city officials to understand that the way they talked about families, and the actions they took, too often brought fear into families' homes and their hearts," he added. "Today we thank them for committing to honor both the letter of the law and the spirit of the struggle for freedom and civil rights."
In their lawsuit, the community organizations accused both Lancaster and Palmdale of harassing recipients of federal Section 8 housing vouchers - mostly black and Latino families - by having sheriff's deputies accompany Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA) investigators on routine compliance checks of their rented homes.
More than 2,400 families in Lancaster receive Section 8 housing vouchers to help pay their rent.
Both Palmdale and the county Board of Supervisors agreed to a settlement back in January that prevented sheriff's deputies from participating in further compliance checks unless HACoLA investigators can document a legitimate threat to their safety.
As recently as August, however, Parris continued to defend the practice, saying courts have upheld 96 percent of the Section 8 voucher terminations prompted by the now-defunct "fraud investigation program."
He called the program "indispensable" for ensuring that only qualified people were receiving federal rental assistance, and added HACoLA should reimburse the city for the $400,000 it had spent defending itself against the lawsuit.
Under the agreement announced Wednesday, Lancaster agreed to let the Community Action League and NAACP participate in a soon-to-be-created "community working group" that would review existing city ordinances and regulations to determine whether they cause an "unjustified disparate impact on Section 8 tenants and landlords" and report their findings to the City Council.
"We have not solved the Section 8 issue," Parris said. "We just recognize that there are bigger issues that we can solve.
"We didn't settle anything," he added. "We just agreed to stop fighting."
Parris said he had change of heart after having dinner with members of the The Community Action League at his home and discovering they had more in common than they had differences.
"We want to keep our neighborhoods integrated," he said. "We also agree that people could be treated a little more respectfully than they have been, and that people would cooperate more with law enforcement and everybody else if that happened."

Winter Tree Walk: Let's Look at Bark
Sixteen of us gathered at Schenley Park yesterday for a walk among the trees.
As we left the Visitors Center we were treated to far away(!) views of Pitt's peregrines, Dorothy and E2, sunning on the south face of the Cathedral of Learning. The weather cooperated and the sun came out.
Here we are in the woods just before we began the mind-numbing task of keying out twigs using the Winter Tree Finder. By the third twig we had had it! We gave up on twigs and switched to bark. Thanks to Debbie Bryant for bringing the Bark book.
Right off the bat I learned something new. When I identified a tree as "ironwood" George Bercik said ironwood was a different tree. We consulted our field guides and discovered that "ironwood" is the common name for two trees. I call the eastern hophornbeam "ironwood." George calls the American hornbeam "ironwood" (which I learned as "blue beech"). Both names are correct but confusing. That's the problem with common names…
On our route we found black cherry's "burnt potato chip" bark, dark red oaks, pale beech trees, and hackberry's "pie crust" bark. Birds were few but we saw an adult red-tailed hawk hunting in the woods and some gulls flying overhead.
Around 2:30pm the wind picked up so we returned to the Schenley Park Visitor Center for hot chocolate. What a cozy end to our bark walk. Thanks to everyone for coming.
p.s. Spring must be coming soon. The daffodils are up at the Visitors Center.

Thanks for a wonderful afternoon, Kate! I learned that identifying twigs is not so easy!

Thank You,
It was wonderful.
# Nellie Curranon 19 Feb 2012 at 10:16 am
Thank you Kate, it was great to see the trees you have talked about. And also fun to meet and talk to some of the gang we meet on your web page. Could there be another walk when the leaves come out?

It was a wonderful way to spend a cold afternoon. We are all ready, like the daffodils, to emerge into Spring. I have decided, after many tree ID walks, to try to learn just one tree at a time. For me, the tree of the day was Hackberry. I love the name and the way you described the bark as looking like a pie crust. We felt that the bark looked a little like psoriasis but pie crust is much more lyrical.

Don't you dare do any of these seven deadly sins of sex.

I'm not the town bicycle, but I'm also no prude—I've had a lot of sex and the fact that I'm in my late 20s means that I should know what I like and don't like by now. I'm not saying that I'll never explore again, of course! Trying new things is an exciting part of sex. But there are seven things that I will never do again and I strongly urge you to cut ties with these seven deadly sins of sex.
- Sex in the Shower
One of my boyfriends in college was overly turned on by shower sex. I'm sure at this very moment he and his wife are enjoying some really great water play together, but when we dated his passion for mixing liquids with pleasure was still in its infancy. I was subjected to an alarming amount of heavy breathing outside of my shower and "surprise" appearances on mornings I thought I had the apartment to myself when he and his giant eyes would come into the bath to ogle, then fumble around with our wet bodies to attempt some form of sex. Shower sex is just the worst. Chances are you're not built like Kevin Durant and I'm not as petite as Jesse Jane. There's so much at play in the shower, like slippery surfaces, different heights and weights…that dream of frantic "oh my god I have to have you now" sex is just not going to happen. You know what else is really sucky? Being dropped and hitting your ass on the tap. I don't have any fond memories of shower sex and I never will because it's number one on my list of sexual no-gos.
- Brazilian Waxes
I stopped getting Brazilians when I was 20 years old. Actually, I should rephrase that: I stopped getting Brazilians after I got my first at a small-town nail salon for 40 bucks. I'm pretty sure I cried all the way home. Did I notice a spike in my number of sexual partners while I was packing a hairless vagina in my pants?Yes, but only because I figured I may as well get my money's worth and find out what all of the fuss was about. The history of the bush is a strange and wonderful thing, and if you've been paying attention to your centerfolds, you'll see that the Brazilian has been fading out of vogue for quite some time. For one, waxing is not a highly regulated industry. Because of the laissez-faire attitude to policing who can rip what off of whom, it means that some women end up with infections, bruising and broken skin which can require antibiotics or even surgery. I'm not saying you should stop cleaning up down there, but ripping all your hair off, or insisting that your girlfriend keep a hairless vagina, is not a good idea. Go for a bikini wax or a landing strip instead; it's less creepy looking anyway.
- Offensive Sex Moves
My bedroom is not a frat and I am not a conquest. If you've sat around drinking pilsner with your pals in the span of the past five years and have brought up donkey punches, dirty sanchezes, pearl necklaces or teabagging over the course of the evening, you are not ready to have sex with a real woman.
- Handjobs
I'm ready for your pitchforks, dear readers, but I think we should retire our used tissues and rags and hang them high in the rafters so we can always remember our dear friend the handjob. Ah, wasn't it a great run? Aren't you happy you outgrew it after you loved your first boyfriend so much that you gave him a handy underneath the bleachers? It's so great that you've taken off those training wheels and have incorporated your hand into your blowjob experience. Comedian Donald Glover said it the best on his Comedy Central stand-up special when he said, "Kix are like the handjobs of cereal. You're like, 'This is pretty good, but you know what I really want.'"
- Giving and Receiving Road Head
Road head is one of those things that I'm knocking before I've tried it. It's just one step away from mechanophilia in my book. I get that the idea of having sex in the backseat of a car is a turn-on and that the act of voyeurism can be really hot under certain circumstances, but in no universe will I ever bend myself over and have a stick shift pummel my ribcage for any kind of oral. It just seems like the logistics are much more in the way than anything. You have to pull your pants down so she can access you, but in doing so you really restrict the movement of your legs. Not only is it super uncomfortable for the giver, shouldn't the receiver sign some sort of waiver on the off chance they get bitten? I'm sorry, my life is not some coming-of-age '90s flick and I don't plan on ever giving road head a whirl. If you really can't wait, pull over and get busy against a tree.
- Flavored Lubricant
I'll never forget the gay bar my friends and I would frequent in college. We always had a great time there singing karaoke and finding hot dates and we always left with pockets full of condoms that were doled out in the unisex bathrooms by a very handsome gentleman in a sailor's outfit. The only downside to all of this was that those free condoms were rainbow-colored and slathered in flavored lube. So, on the off chance you met a cute guy and brought him home, his dick was going to taste like a banana split, or if he finished you off with oral, you had to pray he was cool with grape-flavored lady bits. I'm not sure who the demographic is for flavored sexual lubricants exactly, but I feel as if it's that same weird gray area of candy cigarettes. Flavored anything is so wrong and so childish! So if I find out you have a bottle of cherry lube in your dresser, you better bet your ass I'll be down for nothing more than second base.
- Chocolate Sauce
There is a mattress out there in a landfill that is stained with chocolate sauce and it's all thanks to me. Like shower sex, introducing chocolate sauce into your foreplay should be left to your friendly porn professionals or locked deep inside your spank bank fantasies. In my case, the consistency of our sex shop "chocolate-flavored lovemaking aid" was pudding. It was gloppy and left a thick gleam on the body when not eaten immediately. You'd be surprised at how sticky and very (so very) messy it gets. In the end you will probably regret it. Who wants to clean up stained sheets after sex anyway? Getting it anywhere near your penis can end up giving her a yeast infection and yourself a UTI, too, so it's better to just skip the chocolate-covered tits and eat afterwards. Eating afterwards is one of the best parts of sex anyway; why would you want to take that away from either of us?

Re: Who here didn't get the $10 voucher?
I got nothing as well.
I paid $699 for my 60Gb launch PS3. Since then I have purchased every available version of the PS3, from the 80GB fat to the first generation 120GB slim, to a second generation 250GB slim, to a Uncharted 3 320GB slim.
I subscribed to Qore since it began til its end. I was a PS+ member since it launched until just recently, around the mid of Dec 2012.
I own every PS3 exclusive worth its salt and have spent well over $1000 easily on PSN over the years.
I stuck through Sony taking away the ability to play my PS2 games, I stuck through the PSN outage, I stuck through them removing 60% of my activations, and even now that they have completely messed up the PS Store I still make the extreme effort of deactivating consoles and connecting other consoles just to deactivate them so I can connect my main console and DL the content. (As the latest PS Store update made 2/3 of my PS3's unable to access the store at all!! Combine this with the 2 activations and the frustration and time it takes is simply silly)
And now I am told I am not a loyal customer???!!!!!!!!!!!?????????
Its a good thing the PS4 will not play PS3 games, If Sony doesnt want my business I am free of the legacy problem and so can check out what the nextbox will be like, after all what incentive do I have to stay now? especially if they dont even want me too.
Sony what did I do to you to make you this way?
Finally, the structure of my question is that you would have to disprove every possible outcome to be correct and I would just have to have one that would likely be beneficial. That's statistically in my favor by quite a bit.

I am a bigger Fanboy than you BRIT!
A serious question though. Someone theorized it may have had something to do with the two choices in account settings. One allowing Sony to use you email for marketing through Sony products and Sony Entertainment, and the other to use you email for MArketing outside Sony and Sony Ent.
I had the first box checked, but not the second. Any thoughts, or feedback BRIT on this? Did you have both boxes checked, only the first, or none at all? Just wondering.
I have both checked and did not get branded as loyal.
More likely it is based off of money spent on PSn this month or year.
I have been locked out of the playstation store on my main PS3 so have not been able to make many purchases this year.
I also can not find anything in the new store, its a confusing mess in ther and even the search function does not work.
So lock me outta the store and brand me as some traitorous dog, LOL.

Re: Who here didn't get the $10 voucher?
My friend told me he got one, and I went to check if I did, I didnt... Its **bleep**. I spend way more money buying things in the store than my friend does. If Sony is going to do something like this, then EVERY PSN USER SHOULD GET IT.
Re: Who here didn't get the $10 voucher?
Its not even like I really care about the $10 either...its just ridiculous that they would do something like this. Giving everyone a $10 voucher would have been the smart thing to do. When I get a bonus like that, I usually tend to spend a little money to get something I would have normally never bought. i.e a game that goes for $20 that I only want to pay $10 for..

PALM HARBOR — Close games have become standard when East Lake and Palm Harbor University meet in girls soccer.
In two regular-season games, the Hurricanes tied 1-1 and won 2-0 against their fiercest rival.
So it was expected goals would be at a premium in Friday night's Class 5A, District 8 championship game.
The game was scoreless at halftime. The second half did not have much offense either. Then with less than 16 minutes remaining in regulation, Palm Harbor University's Nicole Naclerio hit a shot from 30 yards on a free kick that teammate Paige Lombard was able to head in for a 1-0 victory.
"Nikki hit a great ball and I was able to play and get in position for a goal," Lombard said. "It was sloppy at times, and it was a game that could have gone into overtime. I'm just glad we scored when we did."
The Hurricanes (17-0-3) started quickly, mounting an offensive attack in the first minute with Naclerio hitting a shot that ricocheted off the top crossbar. After that, the Eagles (13-2-3) clamped down on defense.
"It was a tough match, which is what we expected," Hurricanes coach John Planamenta said. "East Lake was able to put some pressure on us and take away some of our momentum. We spent the second half trying to get the momentum of their hands."
Planamenta did it by relying on his forwards on defense.
"We made a few adjustments and our forwards had to work that much harder," Planamenta said. "We were able to make some substitutions for them because we knew they were going to be tired."
Defense has always been the Hurricanes' calling card. This season they allowed just six goals. PHU did not allow East Lake many chances on offense, especially after producing the game's only score.
The win was gratifying for the Hurricanes not only because it came against a rival but also because it allows them to host a postseason game in one of the toughest regions in the state.
"It was a big one for us," Planamenta said. "You always want to be the district champs and host. Plus, we had no injuries or cards."
Clearwater Central Catholic 4, St. Petersburg Catholic 0: The Marauders exacted revenge from last season's semifinal by jumping out to a fast start in the Class 2A, District 9 final against their rival. By halftime, CCC was ahead 4-0. Alexandra Alberdi scored twice.
Seminole 4, Tarpon Springs 0: Ahead 1-0 at the half, the Warhawks broke open a close game with three goals in the second half of the Class 4A, District 10 final. Kaleigh Ford, Gina Hayduke, Brandy Maulucci and Mia Matacchiero scored for Seminole.
Osceola 3, Palmetto 1: The Warriors, who already secured their second straight playoff appearance, won the Class 3A-10 title thanks to an offense that was able to capitalize on opportunities. Osceola outshot Palmetto 11-4 but needed a goal in the second for some breathing room. Samantha Pifer, Cassidy Reich and Alison Watkins scored for the Warriors.
Bradenton St. Stephen's 3, Shorecrest 0: The Chargers fell behind in the first 10 minutes, giving up a goal in the first minute. Shorecrest was able to control the pace for stretches but was unable to produce many scoring opportunities.

Living History at Rock Ledge Ranch
By Noel Black On August 23, 2010 · 6 Comments · In A Big Something, Agriculture, Gardening, Local History, Local Museums, Outdoors and Nature, Then & Now
Though its future lies in the cross-hairs of the economy, Rock Ledge Ranch at the foot of the Garden of the Gods continues to preserve "living" treasures of our local and national history and culture. This video gives a glimpse of our important past at Rock Ledge Ranch.
6 Responses to Living History at Rock Ledge Ranch
Sarah Milteer says:
This is brilliant! Thank you for making this video story.
Sandra says:
I loved it! Very well done. Thank you.
Amanda says:
A great piece about a local treasure! I hope they use it to raise funds to stay open.
Carol Lopez says:
Thank you KRCC for making this piece! The Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site is one of the BEST things in the city of Colorado Springs…it preserves a valuable piece of land, a timeless story of hardwork and survival living on the land, and serves as an educational resources to the entire nation. I hope the citizens of Colorado Springs will embrace it and continue to support it with their tax dollars.
Steve Elder says:
Thanks for doing this, KRCC. My daughter Kit was a youth docent at the ranch this summer. She had a great time touring guests, baking muffins, playing with the stilts and hoops with the kids, feeding the pigs (her favorite!). A unique treasure for the community — remember, folks, we ARE the community. There is not someone "out there" who will sustain these treasures for us.
Jeremy Van Hoy says:
I went for the first time this summer and really enjoyed it. Friendly hosts there and laid back feel. Not too big to wander around, as well. Thanks guys!

Jasmine and I live at The New Harbour House (read above or http://www.thenewharbourhouse.com) in beautiful Bal Harbour. The natural surroundings, with direct ocean views, over a 1-mile palm tree-lined promenade toward Surfside, the next village to the south, is inspirational, invigorating, and tranquilising. Surfside has nice shopping and casual dining. The famous ``Bal Harbour Shops`` with its up-market bistros and restaurants are in walking distance. Aventura Mall is a 10-minute drive and South Beach, 20-minutes. You can ride a bicycle all the way along a 10-mile scenic path to Lincoln Road, Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, and South Pointe. Both Miami International (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL) airports are an easy 30-minute drive from where we live.
There's a nude beach (Haulover Park) in Sunny Isles, which is just over the bridge from Bal Harbour. Nearby Fort Lauderdale has gay-friendly neighbourhoods such as Emerald Hills and Wilton Manors. Downtown Fort Lauderdale has up-market dining and shopping on Las Olas Boulevard and Lauderdale Beach is 20 miles long. A large, Las Vegas-type casino/entertainment/shopping complex -- The Seminole Hard Rock Café -- is 20 minutes away. That is, on the way to an enormous outlet shopping centre, Sawgrass Mills, which is a 30-minute drive from where we live (just 10 minutes from Hard Rock). Sawgrass Mills also encompasses the luxury shops of the Colonnade. For more details on Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach, see http://www.sunny.org/rainbow/, http://www.socialmiami.com, and http://www.944.com.

Chapter 8 Advising Travelers with Specific Needs
Pregnant Travelers
Pregnancy is an altered state of health that requires special considerations. With careful preparation, however, most pregnant women are able to travel safely.
The pre-travel evaluation of a pregnant traveler (Box 8-01) should begin with a careful medical and obstetric history, with particular attention to gestational age and evaluation for high-risk conditions. A visit with an obstetrician should be a part of the pre-travel assessment, which should include an ultrasound—to establish the gestational age of the pregnancy and identify any potential problems—and evaluation of the mother's blood type and Rh status. The traveler should be provided with a copy of her prenatal records and physician's contact information. Checking for immunity to various infectious diseases may obviate the need for some vaccines.
A review of the pregnant woman's travel itinerary, including destinations, types of accommodation, and planned activities, should guide pre-travel health advice. Preparation includes educating the pregnant woman regarding avoidance of travel-associated risks, the management of minor pregnancy discomforts, and recognition of more serious complications. Bleeding, severe pelvic or abdominal pain, contractions or premature labor, premature rupture of the membranes, symptoms of preeclampsia (unusual swelling, severe headaches, nausea and vomiting, vision changes), severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and symptoms of potential deep vein thrombosis (unusual swelling of leg with pain in calf or thigh) or pulmonary embolism (unusual shortness of breath) are conditions that require urgent medical attention.
Pregnant travelers should pack a travel health kit that includes all prescription medications, hemorrhoid cream, antiemetic drugs, antacids, prenatal vitamins, medication for vaginitis or yeast infection, and support hose, in addition to the items recommended for all travelers (see Chapter 2, Travel Health Kits). Pregnant travelers should consider packing a blood pressure monitor if travel may limit access to a health center with blood pressure monitoring available.

Box 8-02. Contraindications for travel during pregnancy
Absolute Contraindications
- Abruptio placentae
- Active labor
- Incompetent cervix
- Premature labor
- Premature rupture of membranes
- Suspected ectopic pregnancy
- Threatened abortion, vaginal bleeding
- Toxemia, past or present
Relative Contraindications
- Abnormal presentation
- Fetal growth restriction
- History of infertility
- History of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy
- Maternal age <15 or >35 years
- Multiple gestation
- Placenta previa or other placental abnormality
Although travel is rarely contraindicated during a normal pregnancy, complicated pregnancies require extra consideration and may warrant a recommendation that travel be delayed (Box 8-02). Pregnant travelers should be advised that the risk of obstetric complications is highest in the first and third trimesters.
Obstetric emergencies are often sudden and life-threatening. Travel to remote locations or areas in some developing countries where obstetric care may be less than the standard at home is inadvisable. For a woman in the third trimester of pregnancy, it is advisable to identify a medical facility in her destination that could manage complications of pregnancy, her delivery, a caesarean section, and neonatal problems. Some complications may be managed so that the mother could travel to a facility where she could receive advanced obstetric care, but some conditions are contraindications for any travel (Box 8-02). In such cases, it may be preferable to transport help to the patient rather than transport the patient.
Many general health insurance policies do not cover complications of pregnancy overseas. Supplemental travel health insurance should be strongly considered to cover both pregnancy-related problems and care of the neonate, as needed. Evacuation insurance with a policy that includes coverage of pregnancy-related complications is highly encouraged as well.
Pregnant women should be advised to wear seatbelts, when available, on all forms of transport, including airplanes, cars, and buses. A diagonal shoulder strap with a lap belt provides the best protection. The shoulder belt should be worn between the breasts with the lap belt low across the upper thighs. When only a lap belt is available, it should be worn low, between the abdomen and the pelvis.
Air Travel
Most commercial airlines allow pregnant travelers to fly until 36 weeks' gestation. Some limit international travel earlier in pregnancy, and some require documentation of gestational age. Travelers should check with the airline to find out their specific requirements or guidance for pregnant women. Air cabins of most commercial jetliners are pressurized to 6,000–8,000 ft (1, 829–2,438 m) above sea level; the lower oxygen tension should not cause fetal problems in a normal pregnancy, but women with preexisting cardiovascular problems, sickle cell disease, or severe anemia (hemoglobin <8.0 g/dL) may experience the effects of low arterial oxygen saturation. Risks of air travel include potential exposure to communicable diseases, immobility, and the common discomforts of flying. Abdominal distention and pedal edema frequently occur. The pregnant traveler may benefit from an upgrade in airline seating and should seek convenient and practical accommodations (such as close proximity to the toilet) and aisle seating so she can move about frequently. Loose clothing and comfortable shoes should be recommended.
Some experts report that the risk of deep vein thrombosis in pregnancy is 5–10 times higher than for nonpregnant women. Preventive measures include frequent stretching, walking and isometric leg exercises, and wearing graduated compression stockings.
Cosmic radiation during air travel poses little threat, but may be a consideration for pregnant travelers who are frequent fliers (such as air crew). Older airport security machines are magnetometers and are not harmful to the fetus. Newer security machines use backscatter x-ray scanners, which emit low levels of radiation; most experts agree that the risk of radiation exposure from these scanners is extremely low.
Cruise Ship Travel
Most cruise lines restrict travel beyond 28 weeks of pregnancy, and some as early as 24 weeks. Pregnant travelers may be required to carry a physician's note stating that they are fit to travel and including the estimated date of delivery. Pregnant women should check with the cruise line to find out their specific requirements or guidance. The pregnant traveler planning a cruise should be advised regarding motion sickness, gastrointestinal and respiratory infections, and the risk of falls on a moving vessel.
Air pollution may cause more health problems during pregnancy, as ciliary clearance of the bronchial tree is slowed and mucus more abundant. Body temperature regulation is not as efficient during pregnancy, and temperature extremes can cause more stress on the gravid woman. In addition, an increase in core temperature, such as with heat prostration or heat stroke, may harm the fetus. The vasodilatory effect of a hot environment might also cause fainting. For these reasons, accommodation should be sought in air-conditioned quarters and activities restricted in hot environments.
Pregnant women should avoid activities at high altitude unless trained for and accustomed to such activities. Women unaccustomed to high altitudes may experience exaggerated breathlessness and palpitations. The common symptoms of acute mountain sickness (insomnia, headache, and nausea) are frequently also associated with pregnancy, and it may be difficult to distinguish the cause of the symptoms. Most experts recommend a slower ascent with adequate time for acclimatization. No studies or case reports show harm to a fetus if the mother travels briefly to high altitudes during pregnancy. However, it may be prudent to recommend that pregnant women not stay at sleeping altitudes >12,000 ft (3,658 m), if possible. Probably the largest concern regarding high-altitude travel in pregnancy is that many high-altitude destinations are inaccessible and far from medical care (see Chapter 2, Altitude Illness).
Pregnant travelers should be discouraged from undertaking unaccustomed vigorous physical activity. Swimming and snorkeling during pregnancy are generally safe, but waterskiing has resulted in falls that inject water into the birth canal. Most experts advise against scuba diving for pregnant women because of the risk of fetal gas embolism during decompression. Riding bicycles, motorcycles, or animals presents risk of trauma to the abdomen.
Pregnant women who develop travelers' diarrhea or other gastrointestinal infection may be more vulnerable to dehydration than are nonpregnant travelers. Strict hand hygiene and food and water precautions should be stressed (see Chapter 2, Food & Water Precautions). Bottled or boiled water is preferable to chemically treated or filtered water. Iodine-containing compounds should not be used to purify water for pregnant women because of potential effects on the fetal thyroid (see Chapter 2, Water Disinfection for Travelers). The treatment of choice for travelers' diarrhea is prompt and vigorous oral hydration; however, azithromycin may be given to pregnant women if clinically indicated. Use of bismuth subsalicylate is contraindicated.
Hepatitis A and E are both spread by the fecal-oral route. Hepatitis A has been reported to increase the risk of placental abruption and premature delivery. Hepatitis E is more likely to cause severe disease during pregnancy and may result in a case-fatality ratio of 15%–30%; when acquired during the third trimester, it is also associated with fetal complications and fetal death. Some foodborne illnesses of particular concern during pregnancy include toxoplasmosis and listeriosis. The risk during pregnancy is that the infection will cross the placenta and cause spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, or congenital or neonatal infection. Risk of fetal infection increases with the length of gestation, but severity of infection is decreased. The pregnant traveler should be warned, therefore, to avoid unpasteurized cheeses and undercooked meat products. Parasitic diseases are less common but may cause concern, particularly in women who are visiting friends and relatives in developing areas. In general, intestinal helminths rarely cause enough illness to warrant treatment during pregnancy. Most intestinal helminths, in fact, can safely be addressed with symptomatic treatment until the pregnancy is over. On the other hand, protozoan intestinal infections, such as Giardia, Entamoeba histolytica, and Cryptosporidium, often do require treatment. These parasites may cause acute gastroenteritis, severe dehydration, chronic malabsorption resulting in fetal growth restriction, and in the case of E. histolytica, invasive disease, including amebic liver abscess and colitis. Pregnant women are advised to avoid swimming or wading in freshwater lakes, streams, and rivers that may harbor schistosomes.
Pregnant women should avoid mosquito bites when traveling in areas endemic for arboviruses or malaria. Preventive measures include the use of bed nets and insect repellents and wearing protective clothing (see Chapter 2, Protection against Mosquitoes, Ticks, & Other Arthropods).
Respiratory and urinary infections and vaginitis are also more likely to occur and to be more severe in pregnancy.
Various systems are used to classify drugs in regard to their safety in pregnancy. In most cases, it is preferable to refer to specific data regarding the effects of a given drug during pregnancy rather than simply to depend on a classification.
Analgesics that can be used during pregnancy include acetaminophen and some narcotics. Aspirin may increase the incidence of abruption, and other anti-inflammatory agents could cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. Constipation may require a mild bulk laxative. Several simple remedies are often effective in relieving the symptoms of morning sickness, and these may prevent motion sickness. Nonprescription remedies include ginger, which as a powder can be mixed with food or drinks such as tea. It is also available in candy, such as lollipops. Similarly, pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is effective in reducing symptoms of morning sickness and is available in tablet form, as well as lozenges and lollipops. Antihistamines, such as meclizine and dimenhydrinate, are often used in pregnancy for morning sickness and motion sickness and appear to have a good safety record.
In the best possible scenario, a woman should be up-to-date on routine vaccinations before she becomes pregnant. The most effective way of protecting the infant against many diseases is to immunize the mother. Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine should be given during each pregnancy irrespective of the woman's history of receiving Tdap. To maximize the maternal antibody response and passive antibody transfer to the infant, optimal timing for Tdap administration is between 27 and 36 weeks of gestation, although it may be given at any time during pregnancy. Annual influenza vaccine (inactivated) is recommended during any trimester for all women who are or will be pregnant (in any trimester) during influenza season; for travelers, vaccination is recommended ≥2 weeks before departure if vaccine is available. Certain vaccines, including meningococcal polysaccharide (MPSV4), and hepatitis A and B vaccines that are considered safe during pregnancy, may be indicated based on risk. No adverse effects of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) have been documented among pregnant women or their fetuses; however, vaccination of pregnant women should be avoided because of theoretical concerns. IPV can be administered in accordance with the recommended schedules for adults if a pregnant woman is at increased risk for infection and requires immediate protection against polio. Rabies postexposure prophylaxis with rabies immune globulin and vaccine should be administered after any moderate- or high-risk exposure to rabies; preexposure vaccine may be considered for travelers when the risk of exposure is substantial.
Most live-virus vaccines, including measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, varicella vaccine, and live attenuated influenza vaccine, are contraindicated during pregnancy; the exception is yellow fever vaccine, for which pregnancy is considered a precaution by Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). If travel is unavoidable, and the risks for yellow fever virus exposure are felt to outweigh the risks of vaccination, a pregnant woman should be vaccinated. If the risks for vaccination are felt to outweigh the risks for yellow fever virus exposure, pregnant women should be issued a medical waiver to fulfill health regulations. Because pregnancy might affect immunologic function, serologic testing to document an immune response to yellow fever vaccine should be considered. Postexposure prophylaxis of a nonimmune pregnant woman exposed to measles or varicella may be provided by administering immune globulin (IG) within 6 days for measles or varicella-zoster IG within 10 days for varicella. Women planning to become pregnant should be advised to wait 4 weeks after receipt of a live-virus vaccine before conceiving. For certain travel-related vaccines, including Japanese encephalitis vaccine and typhoid vaccine, data are insufficient for a specific recommendation for use in pregnant women. A summary of current ACIP guidelines for vaccinating pregnant women is available at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/preg-guide.htm.
Malaria may be much more serious in pregnant than in nonpregnant women and is associated with high risks of illness and death for both mother and child. Malaria in pregnancy may be characterized by heavy parasitemia, severe anemia, and sometimes profound hypoglycemia, and may be complicated by cerebral malaria and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Placental sequestration of parasites may result in fetal loss due to abruption, premature labor, or miscarriage. An infant born to an infected mother is apt to be of low birth weight, and, although rare, congenital malaria is a concern.
Because no prophylactic regimen provides complete protection, pregnant women should avoid or delay travel to malaria-endemic areas. However, if travel is unavoidable, pregnant women should take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, and use of an effective prophylactic regimen is essential.
Chloroquine and mefloquine are the drugs of choice for pregnant women for destinations with chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant malaria, respectively. Doxycycline is contraindicated because of teratogenic effects on the fetus after the fourth month of pregnancy. Primaquine is contraindicated in pregnancy because the infant cannot be tested for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, putting the infant at risk for hemolytic anemia. Atovaquone-proguanil is not recommended because of lack of available safety data. A list of the available antimalarial drugs and their uses and contraindications during pregnancy can be found in Table 3-10 and in Chapter 3, Malaria.

|The flag of South Korea exhibits anti-symmetry, or symmetry with a property reversal. The circular symbol in the center, called the yin-yang, represents opposing forces in the universe. It is anti-symmetrical because of the red/blue interchange. The eight markings, called trigrams or Pa-kua symbols, are opposites of one another diagonally. Broken lines are unbroken and vice versa.
If you replace each unbroken line in the trigrams by 0 and each broken line by 1, you will see that the symbols represent numbers in the binary (base two) number system. The symbols and their meanings appear below. The binary numbers are read from bottom to top.

| 3
| 4
| 5

| 7
|On the South Korean flag, HEAVEN (0) at the upper left is opposite EARTH (7) at the lower right, and WATER (5) at the upper right is opposite FIRE (2) at the lower left. The sum of the numbers that correspond to each pair of opposite numbers is 7.
The trigrams appear in one of the world's oldest books, the I Ching (pronounced "ye jing") or Book of Changes, and are printed on compasses and good luck charms. When superimposed on one another, they form the 8 x 8 = 64 hexagrams, which provide the essential text of the Chinese oracle-book. The hexagrams cover all human conditions and occasions - a kind of inspired formula for interpreting events in the world. All 64 hexagrams will be found in The Index Chart of 64 Hexagrams.

Skimming through a bunch of leaflets I picked up at the airport along with a map to figure out where the hell I was we stumbled upon a list of Toronto's many different communities with the usual Chinatown, Little Italy, Greek town, Korea town etc but also among them a Poland town - we were intrigued.
With the sun trying it's best outside to melt the glacier like streets we skidded down Bloor St, Toronto's upmarket shopping strip passing a group of guys carrying ice hockey sticks along the way which Dawn said was not normal as I told her not to ruin my built up picture of Canada
With fingers numbing and ears and noses reddening we continued on across the frozen lands of Canada through Greece and Korea before finally arriving in Eastern Europe with out first sighting of a Polish shop sign. As well as being big kids we were also big wusses on saying "Right, seen it" and diving onto the first tram straight afterwards despite having walked around 2-3 hours to get here just to avoid the biting cold.
One thing Dawn did want me to try for a taste of Canada which was not a flame grilled moose burger was a visit to Tim Hortons, a Canadian version of Starbucks although you would get a hockey stick whacked up the side of your head if you ever describe as such to a local. Returning the feeling to our extremities with a steaming bowl of soup and hot chocolate I just hope Canada attempts to take over the world or at least the coffee house business.
Back in Dawn's cozy little apartment I tried to work out bus connections for returning south of the border realizing how little time I had left on this world journey, being able to count the time left in days rather than weeks, months or a whole year.
Where did it go so fast?

Screen porch over deck
I would like to attach a screen porch to cover the current deck. The problem deals with three different roof hights: the house, the breezeway and the garage. They are all differnt heights. Is there a solution?
Thank you!an area of my house that
Your post is confusing. I suggest you post pictures, and perhaps a diagram of exactly what it is you wish to construct.
When you say you want to "attach" a screen porch, do you mean you want to build a permanent screened porch over the deck, or do you want to purchase a pre-manufactured screen porch and bolt it down to the deck so it can be removed later?
Assuming you want to convert your deck to a screened porch as a permanent modification, the first place to start would be with the building inspector, since you will potentially be converting deck space to living space, which could trigger permit and zoning board issues. Once you have established that it is OK to construct, the inspector will likely want to discuss the framing of the existing deck, to make sure it is adequate for use as a porch.
As for the three roof heights, I am not sure what you believe the problem is, perhaps you are concerned about getting the roof to look right?

4.5 stars 10 totalReview Laura Reis
Posted by Donna
I went to Laura Reis when my worker's comp case was almost over and she took my case. I was surprised that I got any settlement. I am pleased to have income for the next 4 years. Her staff was friendly and helped to keep me informed. This law firm is upfront and I am proud to say that I was expecting to pay thousands in fees but in my case, it was less that $80.00

Racial, lack of communication, she took my money and still getting medical bills, now she's not responding my emails or calls. She got me only 1200 dls after 4 months , unreal, i lost time and money because of her. So many good comments but my experience was horrible.
She never kept me informed , i had to bug them to get an update, even treated me as ignorant and i stop there bc i don't feel like pulling race card. Wouldn't recommend her at all. Stay away please!!!

Laura Reis was everything I could have asked for in a lawyer. Her and her office were respectful, attentive, and a complete all around pleasure to work with. They got my case complete and settled very quickly, and the settlement, considering my case, was huge. I never imagined I would get a settlement let alone that much. I am confident that if you want the best possible deal and a lawyer who will fight for you and have your best interest then I sincerely recommend Laura Reis. I had a lawyer before her that was just horrible and I couldn't be more happy that I changed to Laura Reis. I honestly don't believe that it could have gone any better. Thank you Laura Reis to you and your office at Reis law!

I was employeed with a wireless company. Upon leaving a little earlier for a Dr. appointment I was getting ready to exit the building. There was a huge roll of plastic that was placed on the floor at the door to keep the door open by a moving company that were making deliveries to the company. I attempted to cross over the roll and my foot got caught on the plastic which threw me to the ground. I laid there for a few minutes. I was stunned because it happened so quickly there was no time to react. There were witnesses and the security person had seen the incident which she had watched on video. I made a report with the security officer along with seeing a doctor.
I was given Mrs. Reis name from a friend of a friend that previously used her service. I would like to add this comment on Mrs. Reis behalf. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and very professional. She was straight to the point after having a sympathetic ear and hearing my distress on what had happened on August 29th 2013. I felt so much at ease once Mrs. Reis assured me everything would be ok. After my 1st visit to her firm and meeting her staff. I knew the professionalism was there. I am very pleased and a very satisifiied customer with Reis Law. I WILL recommend her firm to others. Thank you to Mrs. Laura Reis.

Laura Reis was a referral from another attorney, which says a lot when you are referred by your peers. She is very personable, knowledgeable and treated me and handled my case with the utmost level of professionalism. It was a pleasure working with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking legal representation with their Worker's Comp case.
