*Breaking News*
After a long and fruitless search for an easier to reach location at an affordable price, we have been persuaded to return to our old haunt in Rhiw Fawr! See map below... And so this is to announce we will be opening the club doors again to all on Sunday 13th April 2014 at 2pm.
We will need your support though to keep them open for the future, we understand it is not the easiest location to reach but it is a good place with space to game and free parking! Many of you were sad to hear we had closed the doors, many of you said you would miss the club, well now is your chance to show how much it was missed… support us by attending on a regular basis, if we are forced to close again we will be closed for good next time, good locations to game are limited as we have discovered, so it is up to you, the gamers, to support those that are available, to keep them open and to encourage more to join our amazing hobby.
Hope to see you all in the near future, both the old and the new, all are welcome.

Winemaker Notes
This wine is deep cherry red in color. The nose is rich and spicy with ripe fruit. On the palate, there is red fruit, such as blackcurrant and blackberry, with spice and a fresh finish.
This is a wine for burgers, pizza or to drink on its own.
La Vieille FermeView all wine
Jean Pierre Perrin established La Vieille Ferme over 35 years ago, when he chose to produce an inexpensive, straightforward Rhône wine to sell by direct mail to French wine lovers. He used the same grape varieties in similar proportions to those planted at the family's Château de Beaucastel, in a similar vinification process. The result was an immediate success in France, a wine of character and style in keeping with its Beaucastel heritage.
Initially, Jean Pierre made only Côtes du Rhône, but steeply rising... View More

April 6, 2012
PITTSBURGH – Ethan Mildren was solid on the mound again for Pitt, pitching his third straight complete game, but the Panthers fell just short in a 3-1 loss to Connecticut on Friday at Charles L. Cost Field.
Mildren entered the game with a streak of 16 consecutive scoreless innings, and kept the impressive run going until the seventh. The streak was halted at 22 innings when the Huskies' L.J. Mazzilli scored on a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 1-1.
"It was a well-played game today. Ethan gave us another outstanding performance and put us in a position to win," said Pitt head coach Joe Jordano. "We played well again defensively but did not get the timely hit, although we did hit some balls hard."
The Panthers had taken the lead with the game's first run in the bottom of the sixth inning, getting the job done with two outs. Batting second in the lineup for the first time this season, Boo Vazquez got things rolling with a single to center field. The freshman advanced to third on a double by Rick Devereaux and later scored on an error.
It was the second straight game that Pitt hung tough with one of the top teams in the conference. Trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Panthers gave themselves a chance with a leadoff walk by cleanup hitter Sam Parente, but couldn't capitalize.
"We have to believe we are getting better and as the season continues just be in a position to win some games. There is no doubt everyone is working hard we simply have to stick to the plan and good things will happen. I believe it without question," Jordano said. "Regardless of what happens today, win or lose, we have to prepare ourselves mentally and physically for tomorrow. We will be ready."
UConn starting pitcher Jordan Tabakman improved to 3-0 on the season with a stellar outing. He gave up one unearned run on five hits in seven innings of work.
Tabakman and Mildren staged a great pitcher's duel, both keeping their pitch counts low and working quickly in a game that lasted just a shade over two hours.
Much of Mildren's success has come with the command of his pitches and ability to hit the corners, and Friday was no different as he struck out six and issued one intentional walk. The sophomore has 38 strikeouts to just eight free passes this season and has lowered his ERA to 3.54.
In addition to the hits by Vazquez and Devereaux, Sam Parente had a double, while Ronald Sucre and Stephen Vranka added singles for Pitt.
The Panthers will finish their series with the Huskies on Saturday at Charles L. Cost Field. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi, Sorry I can't think of a way to wordsmith this for you but the dollar for dollar match has to be, as you mentioned, just that a match of what goes into the plan
I think I would say that you can only (and this is the truth), do a 100% match of the contribution
rather than expressing it as a percent of salary
What you're soing IS a true dollar for dollar match
To say it differently, IRS is constraining what they can put in and you have to match that dollar for dollar
Here's the way the IRS actually puts it (from their SIMPL PLAN checklist):
Employers are required to make either a matching contribution (up to 3%) or a 2% fixed(nonelective) contribution for each eligible employee. Prior to November 2, the beginning of the60-day election period prior to each calendar year, the employer must notify employees whichcontribution it will provide the next year.
Maybe this will be helpful:

Hope this helps

The Greatest Cripple Creek Gold Story of All Time
By Noel Black On June 6, 2012 · 9 Comments · In A Big Something, Cripple Creek, History, Local History, Pikes Peak
Few rags-to-riches stories are as American as the story of Winfield Scott Stratton. His name now adorns street signs, buildings and parks throughout the Pikes Peak Region, but the story (embellished as it may be by this reading from Marshall Sprague's Money Mountain: The Story of Cripple Creek Gold) of just how hard he worked to become the working man's gold baron is a true Cripple Creek melodrama and could easily be fodder for an HBO miniseries!
(This piece was originally featured on this past weekend's episode of Western Skies. It was read by Jeff Bieri. Period music was recorded from the Wilsted Family player piano. Thanks!)
9 Responses to The Greatest Cripple Creek Gold Story of All Time
Paul says:
I enjoyed this. Have read Newport in the Rockies but will have to read this one too.
Bob Carnein says:
This is just one great story in "Money Mountain", and just one great story about Cripple Creek. Thanks. (But the piano music is just distracting.)
Nancy Wilsted says:
Such suspense!!!
Noel Black says:
Hi Bob, thanks for your comment. Duly noted! This isn't meant to diminish it, but just as an aside: We were trying to highlight the melodrama both with the hyperbolic title and the piano music. Best, Noel Black
Di says:
As one who studied film music, I say you have created a telling auditory background. One imagines the bars and homes of the people who made him rich, pianolas belting out the melodic pulse of the age.
joyce cheney says:
The story could have stood on its own. That said, adding music was a fine creative approach, too – but in this case, the volume made the music a distraction. Part of the time, it was simply hard to hear the words. Thank you for giving us history to listen to – like the multi-episode story of the troubles in Leadville.
Eva says:
cool story. Makes me want to finally pick up and read Sprague's books.
Terry says:
I thought the music set the tone for that time, it could have been a toned down just a little, because at times it was hard to hear the narrator. I just spent some quality time in Cripple Creek during the day, during the week, when it was deserted, taking photos of buildings, old signs, and thumbing through the old Court House Registry from the late 1800s, early 1900s. It was amazing to read the death records of the immigrants who lived in Cripple Creek at that time, hand written in black ink and fancy penmanship in an huge old registry book. Each page documented lists of their belongings, including property such as land and buildings, interests in local mines, and chattel such as wine from Germany, boxes of cigars, yardage of silk and lace, sewing machines, mining tools and farm machinery, hats, dresses, suits, and other such possessions of that time period. You could see who were rich, according to the value of their items and property, and who were poor with handwritten statements of NONE where there should have been chattel or property. And, it showed that there were only 1, 2 or 3 deaths a year. I only got through about 25 pages, but it was very interesting, and I hope to go back one day and thumb through more of the pages. It's fun to go back in time in Cripple Creek, when it's deserted of buses, tourists and gamblers. It was an exciting time during Stratton's lifetime in Colorado.
Noel Black says:
Thanks for the update, Terry! We'll tone down the music a bit next time. Good feedback. Cheers, Noel

IPSec overhead in ESP Tunnel mode
I am facing a very simple problem with IPSec in ESP Tunnel mode.
My objective here is to know the precise overhead added to normal payload by IPSec in ESP tunnel mode.
As per Cisco docmentation I read some where that it is up to 57 bytes. However in reality it is taking up to 58 bytes, is it correct? or I miss something?
With the default MTU Size from end to end (I mean 1500 Bytes across the IP Sec peers), I can ping with payload of maximum 1414 bytes from windows PC(This does not include IP header and ICMP Header).
My test results are as below.
When I use payload size of 1409, total ip length in outer ip header should be
1409 data+ 8byte ICMP Header+20 bytes ip header+20 byte new ip header by ESP in tunnel mode+ 16 Byte ESP Header+2Byte ESP Trailer+12 byte ESP Authentication data
Total makes 1487 but in sniffer I found total ip length as 1488. Where is that 1 byte going?
IP length is 1488 for data payload of 1409 to 1402 bytes. I think this is due the rule that while doing Encryption payload size should be multiple of 8.
If I make pay load 1410..........Total IP lenght is becoming 1496.
From the above my assumption is IPSec In ESP Tunnel mode overhead is from 51~58 Bytes.
Is above is correct?
Thanks in advance.

The staff was wonderful, the place was beautiful, and the food was awesome. We would definitely go back there!
Boutique nature of resort equates to large availability for cabanas and pool chairs. Food & drink were outstanding. WIFI was great throughout the resort. The base room was one of the smallest we have ever had in any hotel; We felt it was necessary to upgrade rooms resulting in added costs we did not plan on.
Karina, the manager, and the entire staff were truly professional and just wanted us to enjoy our vacation. By the way, definitely don't forget to make it to the Ocean Club, and if you're staying for 5 nights, you'll get to try a restaurant at the Grand Velas; don't miss it! having to leave ;-)
Internet does not work and staff was not attentive. hotel changed room when we checked in to a smaller room than we booked (and paid for).
The food you would even want to pay for if it wasn't all inclusive. The service was unbelievable. It also comes included with a beach front property right down the street. It's really quiet and peaceful. We had an amazing time!!!!

Indoor wire vs outdoor wire
I need about 20 feet of wire for an outlet in the attic but have run out of wire. I do have plenty of outdoor wire (both 12/2 w/ground) that is left over from hooking up a porch fan. Is there any reason not to use this indoors?
Logic tells me that while I couldn't use the indoors outdoors I could use the outdoors indoors.
The outdoor wire will work fine, it's just harder to work with (and more expensive)
Use the UF. A wire in your hand is less expensive than a wire at Home Depot.:laughing:

David Byrne: How Architecture Helped Music Evolve
Prolific musician, author, curator, designer, and all-around creative David Byrne explores how context has pushed musical innovation. Can the same insights be considered for branded content application?
David Byrne spoke at TED in February about how architecture helped music evolve. A very curious and interesting individual, Byrne's extensive portfolio of work has taken his performances to a multitude of locations, and has evolved over time with a variety of influences. At TED, he asked himself (and his audience):
- Does the venue make the music?
- Do I write stuff for specific rooms/venues? Do artists paint for particular galleries or walls, and software developers for particular hardware?
- And is that a model of creativity – making things with a venue/context in mind?
Citing a variety of examples across artists, genres, his own portfolio – and even nature – Byrne explores how context has pushed musical innovation. Byrne arrives at his conclusion that "Yes – it's evolutionary, it's adaptive – but the pleasure, the passion and the joy is still there". We may have changed what we do and how we do it to fit the context – but the passion, they joy in creating it, are still there.
Context is often discussed these days, particularly with respect to content, media and the state of mind an individual is in when they are engaging with different forms of content. Some argue that content is media or context agnostic, while others argue that the content should be tailored to the context in which it will be consumed. We found this video to offer an example outside the realm of media and brands of how important context is in influencing content – in this case, as pertaining to a purely artistic medium – music. Byrne's perspective, among others, is worth considering.

While confidence in our collective IT security appears to be down in 2010, there doesn't appear to be much change in store in the way IT organizations plan to defend themselves.
A survey of 450 employees at Fortune 1000 companies conducted by FishNet Security, an IT services firm that specializes in security, found that while the vast majority of IT organizations think the number of data breaches will increase in 2010 due to the rise of mobile computing and social networks, few appear to be changing the way they think about security technologies in order to better respond to the threat.
That may be because of limited budgets and a lack of awareness of new security technologies. But whatever the reason, it appears IT organizations are awaiting the inevitable crisis in the face of constrained security budgets.

The Big Lie - UnFictional - KCRW
You lie to manipulate, or to hide, or to seem more interesting, but mainly it's to save your own butt.
On this episode, three stories of deception, hoax, and self-preservation…
The Mysterious James Tiptree 12 MIN, 7 SEC James Tiptree Jr. was a science fiction writer from the late 60's and early 70's. He had a loyal following for his books and stories which were partly notable for the way he handled gender issues and male/female relationships. This was during an era when science fiction books usually featured masculine male heroes, and almost no female ones. Tiptree was a mysterious figure, who only communicated to a few friends and fans. That's because his career hinged on a very big secret.
The Dog, the Rabies, and the Lie 6 MIN, 43 SEC
This is a story about the time of our lives when we LEARN how to lie. As soon as many kids get old enough to get in trouble, they're going to try and lie to get out of it. That said, the kid in this story is notable to the lengths he will go, the confusion he will cause, and the pain he will endure, just to stay out of trouble.
Panther Hoax 9 MIN, 40 SEC STAR For decades an argument has never stopped about the existence of large black Panthers living in the woods of Kennison Mountain in West Virginia. The official story is that these big cats haven't existed there since the 1800's. That hasn't stopped reports of Panther sightings that continue to this day. It happens often enough to make you think twice about what the truth really is. There's a story that's been passed around the state for almost 60 years — about the time an entire town West Virginia town saw a black panther, but it was all a lie.

Infinite Inputs
In the beginning… there was the keyboard and the mouse. Today, the kinds of input our computing devices support keeps growing: touch, voice, device motion, and much more. Each additional input type offers new possibilities for interaction that requires our interface designs to adapt.
When will this deluge of new input types end so don't have to keep re-designing our software? It won't. Not until everything is input.
Luke Wroblewski is the Zelig of the web world. Think of all the major turning points in the history of the web and I bet you'll find that Luke was involved in some way.
It all started back with his stint at NCSA, birthplace of the world-changing Mosaic web browser. Since then Luke has gone to work with all manner of companies, large (like Yahoo) and small (like Bagcheck). His latest startup is Polar, the mobile app that's like hot-or-not for the world, getting big value from micro interactions.
Along the way, Luke has made the web a better place thanks to his meticulously-researched books. He wrote the book on web form design. He wrote the book on mobile first design. Heck, he even coined the term "mobile first" …which means he's mobile first first.
There's no shortage of people in Silicon Valley with opinions about technology, but what sets Luke apart is his razor-sharp focus on data. So whatever it is he has to say at dConstruct, you can be sure that it's backed up with facts.
Luke is also a blogging machine. You can try to keep up with the firehose at lukew.com.
Science fiction now and tomorrow
Novelists Alastair Reynolds, Lauren Beukes, Michael Moorcock and Jeff Noon talk about the state of SF.
In this week's new year books podcast, we look to the future. Science fiction has never been bigger, and publishers are falling over themselves to sign the next Terry Pratchett or Neil Gaiman. We talk to some of the genre's biggest names about the state of SF in 2012, and where they think the genre is heading.
Lauren Beukes, author of hard-boiled SF thriller Zoo City, tells us about winning the 2011 Arthur C Clarke award and about South African science fiction. We talk to Michael Moorcock, who helped define science fiction back in the 1960s with his ground-breaking literary magazine New Worlds. And we also hear from hard SF author Alastair Reynolds and speculative fiction author Jeff Noon about their new projects, how they feel about being classed within the same genre, and writing on Twitter.

Writing Excuses 7.21: Project In Depth — Force Multiplication » Writing Excuses
First up in our "Project In Depth" series: Howard's most recent online volume of Schlock Mercenary, Force Multiplication. You can read it for free at the link above. It's been nominated in the Best Graphic Story category for this year's Hugo Awards, this entire episode features Howard on the spot answering questions about the project from Brandon, Dan, and Mary.
The biggest issue discussed is the female perspective. In Force Multiplication Howard challenged himself by casting all of the leads for the story as women, and it changed the storytelling process for him significantly.
He also talks about the setting — Haven Hive — and how he needed the setting to functionally isolate a small ensemble cast. He talks about naming a little, and finally talks about how he turned a sterile-sounding high-concept plot into an interesting story.

This is a spacious one room cabin (cottage) with queen bed, living area, with electric fireplace and separate kitchen. This cabin perfect for a couple get away. We have excellent reviews from 54 guest, good quality lines and towels included, cabin set up like a hotel suit including shampoo, soap, and paper goods. Why stay in a hotel room for the same price your private cabin. It's at the end of driveway private side yard Kitchen with basic needs grill picnic table acess to heated salt water pool and hot tub It's bright cheerful cabin with easy acess to local at attractions such as hiking kayaking Clark's. Kangamungus
Hi I enjoy the hospitality industry biggest reward guest saying they enjoyed their stay. Impersonally enjoy meeting people, the outdoors, the quietness of the mountains the views, the seasons,
Daniel Reis purchased this cabin in 2011
he mountain views from this property breathtaking at the same time easy acess to major rds restaurants
The view the easy access to route 93 5 minute to restaurants 10 minutes yet a rural
with view of fields and mountains
Was perfect for our needs and staff was very friendly the plow guy did an amazing job making getting out extremely easy the views where breathtaking and was a great place to lay our heads for the night we will definitely be back
Loved the clean clear and heated swimming pool. The cabin was very clean and all new inside. The mountain view was awesome on a relatively quiet road. Only downside is the cabins are very small. Kind of like staying in an RV. The listing should say "kitchenette", not kitchen. There was a 2 plate hotplate, microwave, mini coffee pot and mini fridge. Overall the place was very nice with quality linens. We enjoyed our stay very much and Daniel was very helpful and available.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very clean and private. The location is very good due to the fact that it is central to the Lake Region and the Mt. Washington area. The property has all you will need to enjoy your stay. You can get to hiking, shopping and groceries easily from this cabin off Hwy 3. I made a mistake on my reservation request thinking I had one more night to stay. Dan thought I was leaving that day and rented out the cabin. When we came back from hiking that day, Dan gave up his place to the guest that had rented ours out so we could finish out our stay. It was my mistake, but Dan came through for me and made everyone happy! Thanks, Dan.
The place is cute, clean and quiet. Perfect for a quick getaway! Great attractions especially for bikers and rising the Kanc! I would definitely return again!!
I cant say enough Dan was great and so acomodating cabin was so clean and very spacious would definitely come back to the great veiws Thanks again Dan ☺
Overall, we enjoyed the stay.
However, instead of heated swimming pool there was a hole in the ground (not working by the way).
There were more such inconsistencies with pictures.
Recommendation is - clear up explicitly what is there and what is working.
Located off exit 29 between Waterville valley. Lincoln woodstock Campton area. Attraction on route 93 and lakes region close to hiking trails Fraconia state Park pemigesset river for canoing kayaking tubing within 5 minutes

I will likely have some ready to harvest in honor of Halloween this year, too, which is quite apropos.
What does the turnip have to do with Halloween you may ask? Well, they just may be more authentic than that pumpkin on the porch.
The pumpkins have been for sale for weeks and children have decided on costumes, but somewhere in the middle of it all is the story of All Hallow's Eve.

When it comes to bulbs we don't always meet with consistent success. And, before you blame the chipmunks, the guy who mows the grass or the bulb company for their lack-luster performance, consider some of the other factors that influence how well flowering bulbs flower.
Sunlight, crowded bulbs, pre-mature removal of foliage the previous season, or a winter rest period that wasn't cold enough or long enough may play a role in poor performance.
The life cycle of a bulb is different than other herbaceous perennials.

Seven Questions with ESPN's Samantha Ponder
College football officially begins this Saturday (as if we could ever forget), and we chatted with ESPN reporter Samantha Ponder on all things pigskin. Ponder appears on ESPN College GameDay and College Football Primetime games on Thursday nights.
1. Who's one athlete you'd really love to interview?
"Charles Barkley is always a good interview because he's honest. I also have a lot of things I'd want to talk about with Vince Young … and Aaron Hernandez … and my husband [Christian Ponder]. All for different reasons, of course. (My husband made me say that.)"
2. Describe your game-day prep.
"Game-day prep is an ongoing process. It's everything from reading articles to going to practices, watching film, calling coaches/trainers/equipment managers, and meeting with coworkers to discuss topics and show formats. The three most important things to me are to know myself, know the game, and serve the audience. Knowing and being secure in yourself keeps you from being held hostage by the approval of others; knowing the game makes you natural, genuine, and comfortable when unexpected things happen; and serving the audience is, well, the whole point of this TV thing."
3. Do you still get nervous before a big interview?
"I still get a rush of adrenaline after a big game, but the older I get, the more I laugh at the days when I was nervous to interview an athlete or coach. We have such a weird celebrity culture in our country where we elevate talented, successful, or beautiful people to a level of perceived greater value. That's what creates the nerves most of the time. "Oh this guy is important or cool so I better not screw it up." The truth is we all have insecurities, and we all have equal, God-given value. Nick Saban asked me if his hair was okay one time on set. (He was about to go on camera and I think his wife texted him to check with me.) People are people. Some are packaged in more intimidating wrapping paper, but once you tear some of that away, your nerves about impressing them/others fade."
4. What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
"For years I said my only talent was being able to launch a tight spiral. Then I realized that shouldn't be a big deal for someone who is constantly around football. That renders me talentless. As far as surprises go, it's a toss-up between my parents living in the Middle East and me living in my car for a few weeks when I first started working for ESPN. I wasn't starving or forced to be homeless… I was just cheap."
5. Who's someone you really enjoyed interviewing?
"My first interview ever was Dennis Rodman. I was 18. Since then, in comparison, most interviews have been enjoyable. In the college football world, Steve Spurrier and Les Miles are about as entertaining as they come. The first thing Coach Miles said when I met him was that he had a name idea for my first-born son…"
6. Do you have a favorite tailgate food and drink?
"Can I tell you a secret? I've never been to a tailgate as a fan. I worked all the football games in college and then started covering games as soon as I graduated, so it's an experience that will have to wait until Saturdays aren't workdays. Fortunately, college football fans are very generous with tailgate food, so I've been offered everything from gator to pig ear. When it comes to free food, I don't discriminate."
7. What's your favorite way to watch a game? At home, at the stadium, at the tailgate?
"Despite how pretentious it sounds to say, the field/sideline is one of the worst places to watch a game if you really want to see formations, coverages, and how a play breaks down. Still, there's nothing like the environment at a big-time college football game. I've been to big NFL, NBA, and MLB games and, in my opinion, nothing compares. The smell of the grass, the traditions, the pageantry of it all … all right now I sound like I'm singin' a country song. Actually, the best way to watch is on ESPN. Yeah, do that."

Rodman Noel, a 6-foot-3, 206-pound defensive back, recorded 41 tackles, seven pass breakups and blocked two field goals in 2010 at Milford (NY) Academy.
Noel also picked off four passes, returning one for a score.
He originally signed with Maryland in 2010 but failed to qualify academically. He had a breakout season at Milford, a prep school, and opened up his commitment after Maryland's coaching change.
NC State hosted Noel on a visit in mid-January and he committed to the Wolfpack. His older brother, Jim, is a starting defensive back for Boston College.
McKay Frandsen, a 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive end, is NC State's long mid-year signee. The junior college star transferred in from Snow College in Utah after a 2010 season in which he was named a first-team junior college All-American.
As a sophomore he totaled 53 tackles, nine tackles for a loss, a sack, and a forced fumble. He helped lead Snow College to a 10-2 record and a victory over No. 6 Western Iowa in the Top of the Mountain Bowl.
Frandsen played in 11 games as a freshman in 2009, recording 42 total tackles, including 12 solos, 15 tackles for loss and eight sacks.
A two-time All-State selection out of high school, Frandsen, who played linebacker, notched 370 tackles, 25 sacks, and 10 touchdowns during his prep career.
A terrific student, he graduated from Snow College with a 3.9 GPA.
Tyrrell Burriss, a 5-foot-11, 185-pound cornerback, might be the biggest sleeper in NC State's recruiting class.
He visited the Wolfpack on the last official weekend of the recruiting season and signed with the Wolfpack on signing day.
A second-team all-area selection, Burriss notched 70 tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble and four pass breakups as a senior.
"He was a kid that we knew about, but we were waiting on some academics to come through," NC State head coach Tom O'Brien said of Burriss on signing day. "I think that was the thing we had to see first. As they came through, the test scores and everything else, he became a viable player because athletically he's good enough to play on our level and on our football team.
"Once he became qualified he became a priority target for us. He's talented. We know he was in some camps down there and we talked to some people who talked about his ability to change direction… he has some explosiveness. Those are all things that are important to play corner at this level."

Dairy factory that is the first trimester of pregnancy
Page Tools

Women have bigger babies if they consume more dairy protein early in their pregnancy, researchers have found.
A study of more than 550 Adelaide women has found each 1 per cent increase in dairy protein is associated with a 25-gram increase in birth weight.
Researchers found the relationship was consistent regardless of a woman's weight before pregnancy, the amount of protein she ate, or the amount of weight she gained during pregnancy. Diet in late pregnancy was found to be unrelated to birth size.
Clare Collins says the research has significant long-term implications.
Dr Collins, a lecturer in nutrition and dietetics at the University of Newcastle, said many studies had stressed the importance of eating properly throughout the first trimester - the time at which the baby's organs are being formed. But dairy protein has not been identified specifically in the past.
She said the finding suggested women sourced amino acids differently from dairy than they did from meats or other protein-rich food.
"This research reinforces the importance of a mother being well-nourished, particularly in early pregnancy," Dr Collins said. "It also suggests that eating properly can help with a baby's organ development and maybe even prevent long-term health risks."
She said that women should consume between 65 and 70 grams of protein in their daily diet while pregnant, which was 10 grams a day more than when they were not pregnant.
Ten grams was equivalent to the amount of protein sourced in one-quarter of a cup of canned tuna or 300 millilitres of milk.
Sue Spencer, the co-ordinator of parenting education at Royal North Shore Hospital, said too few expecting mothers took an interest in what they ate.
"Their eyes glaze over when I start talking about it," she said.
"Nutrition is not very exciting to them a lot of the time, especially in early pregnancy.
"I'm always trying to find new ways to make people take notice of what they eat and why it is important and I think this is the kind of information which could really help."

Even in a week of celebrity news that boggles the mind, not least the revelation that Patsy Kensit follows a "down to earth" skincare regime involving a skin scrub containing crushed diamonds – thus raising the prospect that the rest of her "down-to-earth" ablutions include regularly bathing in newborn babies' tears and wiping her bum on a swan's neck – one story boggles it a bit more vigorously than the rest.
Family rifts, business upheavals, open letters from her husband Gordon to her estranged mum in the press: were you in Tana Ramsay's shoes, who would you turn to for guidance? Of course: the legendary mindfulness guru Victoria Beckham. I know what you're thinking: yes, she certainly looks like she's unburdened herself of material possessions in order to follow the path of spiritual enlightenment. She reminds Lost in Showbiz a bit of the Dalai Lama, too.
She had apparently put Ramsay on both "a spiritual plan for happiness involving meditation" and a diet involving one meal a day of steamed fish and quinoa. Without wishing to shatter the atmosphere of zen-like calm that doubtless prevails whenever Guru Posh's beatific presence is felt, Lost in Showbiz is finding it difficult to suppress the urge to scream "Tana! You're married to one of only three chefs in the UK to have held three Michelin stars at one time and you're taking dietary advice from a woman who looks like she last ate a square meal in 1998!" at the top of its voice.

Let me start out by saying I have many polishes from the Wild Shine line that I love. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark. The formula is just horrible, it is too thick and goopy. I tried to do a thin layer to start but it didn't work at all, so I had to just slap it on. It doesn't go on smoothly at all, there are little lumps and bumps all over my nails. The only redeeming quality is the color, a beautiful purple-blue duochrome, which is why it gets two lippies instead of just one.

Fixing school air
As students and teachers head back to school, state health officials have implemented tougher indoor air quality requirements for Indiana classrooms. The new rules bring immediate changes for schools across the state, and they come on the heels of an Eyewitness News investigation showing serious air quality problems inside hundreds of Indiana schools. 13 Investigates shows you what schools are now required to do, and how it will impact students, teachers and even parents.
13 Investigates found classrooms across Indiana have an invisible problem.
They are filled with high levels of carbon dioxide, which can have a big impact on students.
"Higher levels of carbon dioxide make a person sleepy and it also decreases their learning ability," said David Gettinger, a facilities manager who monitors CO2 levels for Perry Township Schools. "More carbon dioxide means there's not enough oxygen in the classroom and you don't think as straight."
Ron Clark, who conducts school indoor air quality inspections for the state health department, says elevated CO2 levels are one of the most common problems he finds in schools.
"It means they aren't bringing in enough fresh air for students," Clark said. "It would impact their education and their learning level."
For most students and teachers, high levels of CO2 won't make them sick, but it signals a problem with a school's air circulation, and the consequences can be devastating.
Students and teachers suffering
Students with asthma struggle to breathe in classrooms filled with high concentrations of carbon dioxide and often miss many school days as a result.
Poor air quality in schools takes a toll on many teachers, too.
"I go past a school building and I'll think there are people in there and they're having class and they're working. Why aren't I doing that?" asks Arlana Smith.
Smith taught adult education classes for Indianapolis Public Schools for 20 years before taking a medical disability leave three years ago. She says high levels of mold and pesticides tainted her classroom and destroyed her health.
"I've been diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivity disorder, asthma, auto immune dysfunction, I have chronic pain, chronic fatigue," explained Smith, who spends much of her week traveling to doctor appointments. "I miss the students. I miss everything about having a normal life."
Smith's story is not unique.
Eyewitness News obtained state indoor air quality inspection reports for schools all over Indiana. They show many schools have elevated levels of bacteria and fungus, even visible mold. And 66% of Indiana schools inspected by the Indiana State Department of Health have too much carbon dioxide.
Even when problems are found, 13 Investigates discovered some schools go years without fixing them.
"We can't require them to fix what we find," Clark told WTHR in January. We make recommendations, but they're not enforceable."
New rules finally here
Indiana lawmakers ordered the state health department to change that two years ago, requiring the agency to establish new rules for school indoor air quality. The rules were supposed to be in place by summer 2010. After WTHR exposed a statewide problem with school indoor air quality earlier this year – highlighting health department delays in implementing tougher air quality standards – ISDH officials finally issued new rules, and they'll impact students and teachers right away.
"I think it's possible there will be more inspections because of the new rules," said Jennifer House, who oversees indoor air quality issues for ISDH. She says the new rules mean state inspectors can now act more quickly to investigate problems.
"Parents or teachers who are concerned about the quality of air don't need to actually fill out a specific complaint. Now if we get word that there could be a problem we can act, go in without someone putting their name to a piece of paper that they're complaining," House said.
Under the new indoor air rules, schools have to take action right now. They are required to:
--Implement a policy to limit vehicle idling when you pick up and drop off your kids at school.
--Implement policies to reduce allergens in classrooms such as air fresheners, chemicals and live animals.
--Implement a policy for routine cleaning of heating and air conditioning equipment, carpeting and furniture within each school.
--Fix all water leaks and mold problems identified inside the school within 48 hours.
--Tell students, teachers and parents exactly who's in charge of air quality within each school building.
"It gives [schools] a basis for what they need to be done to provide the right environment," House said.
Forgotten committee meets
The state health department is also going a step further. After years of delays and inaction, ISDH is reconvening a committee to help schools improve their air quality.
Lawmakers mandated the School Indoor Air Quality Panel in 2003 to help keep kids safe. Earlier this year, 13 Investigates discovered most seats on the committee were vacant and the group hadn't met in almost seven years.
13 Investigates contacted most original appointees of the 12-member panel. Nearly all of them expressed interest in meeting to discuss strategies that would improve air quality in schools, but all said the state health department had not contacted them in years.
"I haven't heard anything," panel appointee Jay Potesta said in March. "I think the health department was the wrong department to put in charge of this. Frankly, they haven't done much and we still have sick schools."
"There's been no communication whatsoever," added Mary Tanis, a teacher in the Lake Central School Corporation who was also appointed to the air quality panel. "For years, I tried e-mailing the governor. I wrote letters to him saying this was really important for schools and I never heard anything. I tried writing letters to the health department and finally I just gave up because it was not a priority."
13 Investigates obtained internal emails from ISDH that suggest state health officials were not eager to convene the committee. An August 2008 e-mail from John Ruyack, who was then serving as the health department's chief of indoor air quality, stated "there are not any issues [for the panel] to discuss," and efforts to implement a new indoor air quality rule for schools was not a high priority. "The rule is apparently on the back burner," he wrote. Ruyack told panel members he would schedule a panel meeting for early 2009, but there are no written documents to show that attempt ever happened.
Three years later -- soon after WTHR's investigation -- the health department officially reconvened the state's indoor air quality panel. The group met in May, although only five panel members attended and five of the panel's twelve seats had not been filled. The governor's office, health department and State Department of Education have yet to fill all of the vacancies left by disillusioned committee members who resigned during the past seven years.
"Really good progress"
Indoor Air Quality Panel members present at the May meeting approved a set of guidelines to help schools assess and improve their indoor air quality. The guidelines are supposed to be sent to all Indiana schools, and the panel is scheduled to meet again this fall.
Efforts of the panel combined with new, tougher air quality rules for schools should help teachers, parents and students breathe a little easier in classrooms all across Indiana.
"We're making some really good progress, but there is still a lot of room for improvement," Tanis said. "There is a lot more Indiana can do."
If you believe there might be an air quality problem inside your child's school, contact the ISDH indoor air quality program at (317) 351-7190. If you file a complaint (written or verbal), health inspectors are now required to conduct an inspection, and they must keep your identity confidential unless you advise them otherwise.

Reverse Aging in the Eye Area
Many people have droopy, upper lids and /or baggy lower lids with excess skin as well as "crow's feet" and wrinkles. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is amazingly effective to remove bags and extra skin. It is virtually painless, has little downtime, and is cost-effective with long-lasting results.
Some physicians and patients think a browlift should be used to remove excess upper eyelid skin or to improve the frown lines in the glabella (between the eyes). There are some patients who do need both a browlift and upper blepharoplasty, however if used inappropriately, a browlift gives the patient a startled expression by raising the brows to an unnatural position. There are also side effects such as a raised hairline and/or hair loss and numbness therefore a browlift should be used primarily to lift brows that are too low.
Sometimes in addition to the browlift or upper blepharoplasty, it is recommended that the muscle between the eyes is altered to eliminate the frown line. The risk of doing this is that there is a chance that cutting or altering this muscle will leave a space or a ridge that must be filled with a temporary filler such as Juvederm or Restylane. Assuming that the patients' eyebrows are not too low, the most effective and least invasive procedure to achieve the result the patient desires is to have upper eyelid surgery to remove the excess skin and Botox to improve or eliminate the frown lines.
Some patients may have one eyebrow higher than the other or a lack of space between the eyebrow and lashes. For a simple cure without surgery, I often suggest that our esthetician remove some hair below the brow creating more space. The eyebrow that is lower can be "raised" by our permanent make-up artist by applying color above it and matching it to the higher brow.
Surgery, unfortunately, does not cure fine lines and "crow's feet". These lines are best helped with chemical peels, laser treatments, Botox, and/or an injectable filler such as Juvederm. These are great options for patients who are not quite ready for surgery or do not need surgery. Chemical peels or laser resurfacing along with our skincare routine improves fine lines and wrinkles.
Due to the cost and healing time of laser, which is the most effective procedure, many patients opt for a chemical peel to treat the lower eye area. Botox is also fantastic in this area as it prevents the cheeks from moving upwards. Treating the lasered or peeled areas with Botox prevents the reformation of lines. Botox treatments for frown lines are also extremely effective and gets better the longer the patient maintains the treatments. If the lines are very deep, I use a combination of "techniques", filling the lines with an injectable filler and injecting the muscle with Botox. It is not uncommon for the frown lines to be completely eradicated with this treatment.
I always strive to find the best solution for each patients' eye area using the safest and most conservative approach to achieve a more youthful, less tired, and natural appearing result.

Tarnished Jewel of Jazaar
Work details
The Tarnished Jewel of Jazaar by Susanna Carr
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The story was slightly disconnected.
Nadir has arrived for his arranged wedding. He has agreed to the match in order to strengthen a political alliance with the elders of an influential tribe. He was very surprised when the ceremony began and he met the bride, she was definitely not what he expected. She was an American, the orphaned niece of one of the locals. He felt this was an insult toward him for his modern or innovative thinking. However, he knew if he refused the match it would go even worse for him. He decided he would wed her, bed her, and then install her in his mountain palace where he would not have to ever deal with her again. And then.... he really met her and started to understand who she was.
I liked the characters. There was sexual tension between them that kept the story moving and the reader wondering how they would pull it together. It was a fun read.
**GoodReads win.

This was my first Susanna Carr book and I can honestly say that I enjoyed it. I have a bit of a soft spot for sheik stories anyway. They seem to always have the coolest things and everything at their disposal. Makes them very hard to resist and when waging a battle of love and war, how can they not come out the victor? So obviously this is a story involving a sheik, but it has a little more to it than that.
Nadir needs a wife, fast. He was married once before, but rejected his "wife" before the ceremony festivities ended. His youth and anger caused him to handle the situation in a bad way, saddling him with the nickname The Beast. But time has passed and he still needs to marry. Negotiations are bad with this tribe so he agrees to marry a woman of their choosing in the hopes of strengthening ties. But the tribe has another plan and sends him a bride that is less than suitable … especially for a sheik.
Zoe is an outcast. Raised by her parents in Texas, one American, the other from Jazaar, she is returned to the tribe following their deaths with nowhere else to go. Her American ways are unacceptable and she is constantly abused, humiliated, and punished in an effort to purge the American out of her. Years of broken promises and beatings have caused her to mistrust men. Her only chance of escape back to the states is to marry a man and sneak away from him as fast as she can, so she agrees to the marriage with Nadir. But she has another secret to hold on to – at least until there is no chance Nadir can throw her back to the wolves.
Short of explaining the whole book, I had better stop there. I enjoyed that these two were kind of outcasts in their own way. Zoe being raised American with independent tendencies and ideals. Nadir with his Westernized ways of thinking and plans to bring Jazaar into the new world. Although the two think they couldn't be more ill-suited for one another, they end up complimenting each other in many ways and soon love blossoms. But the two still have a long way to go. Zoe, with her mistrust of men, struggles to let go of her plans to escape to America and constantly second guesses Nadir's intentions. And Nadir is not perfect either. He believes himself to be modernized in his way of thinking, but really is stuck in the ways of his ancestors with a lot of issues still. And he thinks he knows exactly whom Zoe is running away too as well. Both have several misconceptions about the other and only blatant honesty will allow their love a chance.
I enjoyed my time spent with these characters because they each had a lot of growing to do. Nadir, with his ideal of self, has to come to grips that he is not quite as modernized as he had thought and it takes Zoe for him to realize it. And Zoe who believes that her chance at what her life should have been was ripped away with her parents' death. She has to find a way to open up to Nadir to see that her dreams can still come true and Texas doesn't necessarily have to be a part of the equation for that to happen. The key to the character growth was that even though they both made a lot of changes, they both remained true to self, who they were, and what they stood for. That is a huge deal for me when reading. I have read some pretty hard core sex scenes lately, so this one to me was tame, but still descriptive enough to be sexy and tasteful. For those of you who enjoy romance with a bit of spice and characters who realize that happiness isn't always found where you thought it would be, you are sure to enjoy this read. At less than 200 pages you will fly through it and enjoy the time you spent reading it. I can honestly say that I will be reading Susanna Carr again.

City Workers Go The Extra Mile To Tow A Car
Surveillance footage showing city workers in Tel Aviv painting a handicapped spot around a woman's legally parked car and towing her car away has shocked many around the world after it was uploaded to the victim's Facebook page.
Hila Ben Baruch, a local student, wrote in her Facebook post that she had lived on that street for "nearly half a year," so knew well "where I can and can't park."
Which is why when she left her apartment on Sunday to find that her car had been towed away, and a freshly painted handicapped parking space had appeared in its place, she knew something was terribly wrong.
The city was, unsurprisingly, skeptical of Ben Baruch's story, and she was directed to pay her 1,350 shekel (~$365) fine in full.

Hey folks,
Progress on Encounters slowed down somewhat over the holidays, but I'm finally picking up steam again. One thing I've been fairly consistent about though is working on the high-poly version of the Othirion-class cruiser. And here she is, at the end of what I'm calling "phase 1". That means that I've translated to 3D all the texture-based details in the low-poly "in game" version. It is therefore a fairly accurate representation of what the game Othy is supposed to look like.
Now begins the slow process of unwrapping and texturing. In the meantime however, I think I might give the same treatment to some of the other ships, and maybe set up some high-quality battle renders for advertising purposes.
Back soon with more!

Dec. 2, 2012
FAIRFAX, Va. - Up 49-40 with less than six minutes to go, the UAB women's basketball team could not withstand a late surge from George Mason in the 58-55 loss at the Patriot Center.
The Blazers, now 7-2 on the year, trailed for the most part of the first half but came back to claim the late advantage thanks to 18 second-half points from junior forward Ashley Grimes.
UAB committed 21 fouls down the stretch compared to 14 from the Patriots. Meanwhile, the Blazers shot 36 percent for the game, including a 26 percent performance in the first period.
Coach Audra Smith's team came out of the gate sluggish in the first 20 minutes, going down 7-0 just five minutes into the game. UAB rebounded, however, to go on a 7-3 run to make it a 10-7 game with 12:32 remaining before the half.
The Blazers never led in the first period and trailed by as many as 10 (27-17) after hitting just 9-of-34 (26.5%) from the field, while George Mason shot 40 percent. Senior Amber Jones ended the half on a high note for UAB, knocking down a shot as time expired to make it a 27-22 George Mason advantage at the break.
Led by eight points from Grimes, UAB went on a 13-2 run to open the second period to take its first lead of the game, 31-29, off Grimes' bucket with 17:09 remaining.
After building as much as a nine point advantage, the Blazers fell in the final seconds, 58-55.
UAB now has two weeks off before a four game home stand at Bartow Arena. The Blazers face Morehead State on Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. CT.
