I have been telling my weight loss patients about these low carb noodles made by Tofu Shirataki for some time now.
They are a good alternative if you are working on weight loss and have already eaten enough carbs for the day (or, maybe you want to save room for a dinner roll or sweet treat). These noodles have only 5 g of carbohydrates (including 2 g fiber). Don't get me wrong… it's important to have healthy carbs in your day even when trying to lose weight. I am not a promoter of the Atkins diet.
Anyway, I ate them the other day, and was not a huge fan. However, Mr. Triathlete said he liked them. Maybe it is the texture that I have a problem with. The noodles are made from tofu and a tiny bit of yam flour. That's it. They are only 40 calories for the whole bag. They taste just fine, but are a little slippery and slightly chewy. I would recommend using a thicker sauce with the noodles. Perhaps a healthier cheese sauce like Parmesan and garlic. We tried to make them with an Asian flair, and our sauce was just too thin and made the noodles even more slippery. No good.
As you can see, the noodles look just like regular pasta. I guess you will just have to taste them to see if you like them!

Bearcats Top Mountaineers
Feb. 25, 2012
CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati women's tennis team picked up its second BIG EAST win in as many days with a 5-2 victory over West Virginia on Saturday evening in the Western Tennis and Fitness Club.
Going into match play, the Bearcats claimed a default singles play point as a result of West Virginia (2-7) only having five available players to compete. This also limited doubles play to two matches, with each team winning one match. Jasmine Lee and Ashleigh Witte fell to Mary Chupa and Ikttesh Chahal with an 8-4 decision, while Kristina Georgieva and Safiyya Ismail dropped West Virginia's Veronica Cardenas and Catie Wickline, 8-5. The default win in the third doubles play match helped UC claim the doubles point.
In singles action, Jasmine Lee topped Emily Mathis 6-3, 6-2, with Safiyya Ismail dropping WVU's Catie Wickline in a 6-3, 6-2 straight set decision. Ashleigh Witte, in a hard-fought match against Ikttesh Chahal, came away victorious in a tiebreaking third set to claim a 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 decision.
The Bearcats were defeated in two singles play matches, with Kristina Georgieva falling in straight sets to Mary Chupa 6-4, 7-5 and Sierra Sullivan dropping a 6-0, 6-3 decision to WVU's Veronica Cardenas.
Cincinnati (3-8) concludes the BIG EAST homestand tomorrow morning, Feb. 26, at 10 a.m. in the Western Tennis and Fitness Club when they face the Connecticut Huskies.
The Western Tennis and Fitness Club is located at 5490 Muddy Creek Road (Directions). Admission is free. Follow along with live stats here.

Westfield Trust, the country's largest shopping centre owner, has proved strategic acquisitions and strict management are highly profitable, delivering a 4.2 per cent jump in distribution and promising to do better still.
Distribution is 12.22c a unit for the six months to June 30.
Managing director Steven Lowy has forecast 4.5 per cent distribution growth for the year to December 31 and into 2004.
That is an increase on the previous growth estimate for the current financial year of 3.75 per cent and is based on funds flowing through this half from the successful $1.9 billion takeover of the AMP Shopping Centre Trust.
The result was marginally ahead of market expectations, and analysts said they would be looking to upgrade forecasts in the near future.
Westfield has $12.2 billion gross assets with a market capitalisation of $7.6 billion.
Although some of Westfield's half-year rental growth was affected by the decision of major tenants, David Jones and Coles Myer, to bring their half-year sales back to mid-June, the performance remained strong across the portfolio.
Mr Lowy said while food retailers continued to be well patronised, department store growth was sluggish.
"Retail sales in Westfield Trust's 31 Australian centres totalled $9.7 billion, up 4.5 per cent for the 12 months to 30 June, 2003," Mr Lowy said. "On a comparable basis, retail sales [for the latest six months] in our centres have increased by 5.2 per cent, while like-for-like sales for specialty stores increased by 6.5 per cent over the previous corresponding period.
"There was a strong gain for women's fashion, although the sales were impacted by the shift in the mid-year sales. That will be rectified in the current half."
Mr Lowy said he was very pleased with the particularly strong performance from shopping centres, which have benefited from major capital investments made over the past few years.
The occupancy level of the Westfield Trust portfolio remains at more than 99.5 per cent of retail space.

What do you do when you run out excellent ideas? Well, you try to look for some hit ideas that worked in the past and modify it and then you have this freshly baked new old concept. Confused? That is exactly what the directors are now trying to do with their audience. When they run out of creativity they try to look back into the past and revive some old concepts that have worked, but nothing works if the execution is not right. Chala Mussaddi Office Office is the new wine in old bottle and it is completely inspired from the popular sitcom Office Office that had Pankaj Kapoor in the lead role. Director Rajiv Mehra must be thoroughly impressed with the sitcom and therefore he decides to take the laughter of sitcom on bigger screen.
The movie revolves around Mussaddi Lal (Pankaj Kapoor) who loses his wife due to kidney failure and also because of his ignorance and negligence and pea size intellect. Soon, he decides to take off for a pilgrimage with his son Bunty, but when he returns he finds that his monthly pension has been stopped. On approaching the government officials to find the reason he is informed that he is dead as per their records and to continue the pension he needs to show the proof that he is alive. Writer Ashwini Dhir takes the concept of exploitation of common man by government officers and the bureaucratic system and transforms it into full fledge movie but impresses only in bits and pieces.
Apart from the main theme the entire concept of the movie remains close to the original TV series. Hence, in some way it feels like you are watching the entire TV series in one go. The government officials are the same as they were in TV series. Hemant Gupta reprises his role of Pandey, Manoj Pahwa plays Bhatia, Deven Bhojani plays Patel, Sanjay Shukla plays his role as Shukla and Asawari Joshi plays Usha in the movie. The good thing about the movie is that the crew has stuck to the basics of what the theme is and that might attract some audiences. However, the bad part is that some scenes are overly done in order to stretch the time limit and to fit the mini TV series into full fledge movie.
To some extent people may find similarities between Chala Mussaddi and Well Done Abba. However, Well Done Abba was far better and superior compare to Chala Mussaddi because Shyam Benegal had a great concept of how to weave an interesting dark comedy around the characters which would make the audience laugh even when the character would have deeper problems. The climax of the movie is a disappointment and Rajiv Mehra fails to execute it intelligently which ruins the fun towards the end. Chala Mussaddi Office Office has not received good ratings from many critics because it's a straightaway lift of the TV series and there is no originality in the script. Even those who enjoyed Office Office on their TV sets would not find this full fledge version interesting.

Kiss Memorabilia
Remembered perhaps more for their crazy make-up and stage pyrotechnics than their music, Kiss will undoubtedly go down as one of the most collectible bands of the late 20th century. The group has changed several times over the decades, but their most familiar line-up includes Paul Stanley on vocals and rhythm guitar, Gene Simmons on vocals and bass, Ace Frehley on lead guitar and vocals, and Peter Criss on drums and vocals.
After several successful albums in the mid-1970s, a Gallup poll in 1977 named Kiss the most popular band in the nation. The group's fan club, the KISS Army, included tens if not hundreds of thousands of members, and the band was happy to satisfy their desire for Kiss products. With their 1977 album "Love Gun," Kiss unleashed a slew of merchandise which would go down in KISStory forever—Marvel comic books, board games, masks (of course), and more, many of which are now collectible.
In terms of their actual music, Kiss's most desirable collectible may be any of the first 50 copies of Kiss's 1977 live album "Alive II," which included extra tracks that were later removed from the album.

A devastating wildfire that claimed the lives of 19 fire-fighters from an elite 'Hotshot' crew based in Prescott, Arizona has engulfed more than 8,370 acres, according to state officials.
The continuing blaze in Yarnell, around 85 miles northwest of Phoenix, has already forced 600 people from their homes. Arizona's Incident Management Team have warned that gusty winds and high temperatures on Monday could result in "erratic" shifts in the fire, which has grown quickly in size from about 1,000 acres on Sunday. No single wildfire has killed so many US fire-fighters since 25 died in a fire in Griffith Park in Los Angeles in 1933. The deadliest such incident in recent years was the Storm King fire in Colorado, which killed 14 fire-fighters in 1994.
This weekend's Arizona inferno wiped out almost the entire Prescott fire crew, which was established in 2002 and known as the Granite Mountain Hotshots. A recent profile in the Prescott Daily Courier described the Hotshots as "an elite ground fire-fighting crew known for their innovative problem-solving and history of safe, aggressive fire suppression."
The average age of the firefighters was 22, the Department of Public Safety said on Monday.
The team is accustomed to working long hours in highly dangerous conditions, often hiking miles with heavy packs to battle wildfires in isolated areas. They had recently tackled blazes elsewhere in Arizona and New Mexico. Arizona state forestry spokesman Art Morrison told the Associated Press the unit had been trapped by the unpredictable blaze on Sunday afternoon and erected special, tent-like fire shelters to try to protect themselves from the flames.
The Yarnell fire is thought to have been sparked by a lightning strike last Friday, and has since destroyed dozens of buildings and forced the evacuation of at least 50 homes. It began as a major heatwave struck the US Southwest over the weekend, and was reportedly exacerbated by gusty winds and low humidity in the region.
In recent months, similar wildfires have ravaged swathes of Arizona's neighbouring states, Colorado and California, following one of the driest winters in memory. This year's fire season is on track to be worse than 2012, during which more than nine million acres burned across the US.Reuse content

Mikey Cox, Coal Chamber Drummer, Breaks Fingers During Festival
Coal Chamber's recent reunion at Australia's Soundwave Festival has started off on the wrong drum beat.
During their set on Saturday Feb. 25 at the Brisbane Soundwave stop, the drummer broke two fingers while manning the kit. The band's frontman Dez Fafara twittered a picture this weekend showing Cox with two heavily bandaged broken fingers. But Cox wasn't down for long, and apparently took the stage the next day for the festival's stop in Sydney.

Nope (soft-close feature aside). The trunk tends to be utilized when my hands are otherwise occupied. I'd be more okay with it if the trunk had a stop that once overpowered allowed the trunk to fall freely - children's fingers be damned. It's the fact that you have to reach up into the hand holes and pull down forcefully with just the right motion - unless you push down on the lid with your hands, but the person that put their hands on the paint like that would find themselves stranded at the present location lol. Also, I've accidentally pulled the light out when using the left pull, and you also have to be careful if you are using your watch hand. They could charge $3k for that button, and I'd be the idiot willing to pay for it

Sienna Miller Justifies "I Love You" Message to Daniel Craig in Jude Law Scandal
As developments rush in surrounding Jude Law's phone-hacking scandal, Sienna Miller has justified her "I love you" message left to Daniel Craig.
The proceedings at London's Old Bailey described more details about the British actress's alleged affair with the "James Bond" actor, as she took the stand via satellite from New Orleans on Friday (January 31).
As previously reported, Sienna was dating Jude Law at in 2005, leaving a message on Daniel's phone that said, "Hi, it's me. I can't speak, I'm at the Groucho with Jude. I love you."
In front of the jury, the 32-year-old said, "The thing that's been slightly misconstrued about this voicemail message is that I said 'I love you' and that this was some incredibly important declaration of love. I've always ended my calls to Daniel saying 'I love you.'"
Of Daniel, Sienna said, "Whether or not I was in a relationship with Daniel Craig, it was not a relationship, it was a very brief encounter, and he was my best friend. My saying 'I love you,' whether anything romantic happened briefly or not, there was nothing significant."

Eggette, Gai Dan Jai, (鸡蛋仔)
An eggette is a kind of spherical pancake or ball waffle popular in the Cantonese-speaking regions of China, including Hong Kong and Macau. The food item is also referred to as an egg puff, bubble waffle or by its Cantonese name, gai daan jai (鷄蛋仔), and is made from egg, sugar, flour, and light evaporated milk. They are best served hot, and often eaten plain. They can also be served with fruit and flavors such as strawberry, coconut or chocolate. They are sometimes referred to as "Hong Kong cakes" in Chinatowns across America, especially in New York.
Eggettes are one of the most popular Hong Kong "street snacks" and was ranked No.3 in the 50 most popular HK "street snack". They have been a favoured street snack in HK since their emergence in 1950s and were made with coal fire heating, sold from street kiosks in Hong Kong in the early days.
The origins of the eggette or gai daan jai (which literally translates to "little chicken eggs") are unknown, despite being ingrained in the memories of Hong Kongers young and old. "One story says the enterprising post-war generation created the egg-shaped mold to make up for an eggless batter, as eggs used to be a luxury. Another tale points to street hawkers who bought damaged eggs on the cheap to work them into a batter, resulting in the classic golden color of the cake. It also is reasonable to suggest that the special iron skillet used to mold the gai daan tsai is a Hong Kong take on the traditional checkered European waffle press. Today, the two related snacks are often sold by the same stall."
They are made from a sweet batter that is cooked on a hot griddle, a special frying pan with small round "wells" (resembling a Æbleskiver but with smaller and more of the round "wells") and with them set on hot coals in the fire or more commonly, on an electrical heat generator. The egg batter is poured over the special frying pan and heated; the small ovals of eggettes are thus formed. In addition to the conventional "egg taste", they are also available in a variety of flavours such as chocolate, green-tea and ginger, etc. Most pancakes are quick breads, although some are also made using a yeast-raised or fermented batter. Eggettes can be eaten at different times of the day depending on local tradition.

Howard Dean: "Benghazi is a laughable joke"
posted at 2:28 pm on May 21, 2013 by Guy Benson
Giggle, giggle:
"Benghazi is a laughable joke. Benghazi is a laughable joke … the blaming of the president for that is a ridiculous joke."
Yeah. Hilarious:
What a sharp, compassionate take from the former DNC Chair and presidential candidate. Throughout the segment, Dean analyzed the Benghazi massacre through a purely partisan prism, arguing that it has "no traction" (essentially, no one cares — perhaps with a few marginal exceptions) and that Republicans' persistence in investigating what happened is evidence of "overreach." Since he brought up the crude metric of public opinion, I'll just point out that two new national polls demonstrate: (a) an 87/14 super-majority of Americans view the Benghazi talking points as an important issue, (b) a 59/36 majority now believes the attack could have been prevented, (c) a 57/32 majority thinks the administration is still covering something up, and (d) a 59/37 majority approves of Republicans' handling of the controversy. All that aside, no amount of polling can or should alter the moral correctness of seeking the truth about a terrorist attack that claimed four American lives. Dean was also asked about the IRS and DOJ affairs. His verdict: "To call all these things scandals is a little on the silly side." He instead harped on the House's latest attempt to repeal Obamacare — which probably sounds better than ever to many Americans.

Costa Mesa, CA (April 7, 2011): With the major motion picture based on her life set to hit theaters nationwide this Friday, April 8, new action clips, interviews, product, photos, and the film trailer can all be found on the Bethany Hamilton x Soul Surfer website at ripcurl.com/soulsurfer.
After suffering a shark attack that severed her left arm in 2003, Bethany has inspired the world by not only finding her way back to surfing again, but notching up a National Title, ASP World Junior Runner-Up honors, ASP World Tour qualification contention, all the while showing she's one of the most well-rounded female surfers in the world by surfing waves such as Jaws.
Fast forward to 2011, a major motion picture by SONY Pictures will be hitting theaters nationwide starring Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, AnnaSophia Robb, Carrie Underwood, amongst others, and Bethany has been taking it all in stride.
"I'm stoked with how Soul Surfer turned out," Bethany recently said. "It's nerve-racking when you combine a true story with a Hollywood twist because you never know how it will turn out. My family and I had a lot of say in what went into the movie and it turned out great! I also think it will be a great showcase for women's surfing!"
While this film will undoubtedly take her name and celebrity to a whole new level, Bethany will be shifting gears back to what she does best- surf. Bethany has officially accepted a wildcard to compete in the 2011 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach April 19 – April 30.
After accepting wildcards in the 2010 Rip Curl Pro Portugal and 2011 Rip Curl Pro Search, Bethany will undoubtedly be ready to put the experience to use in the ASP's longest running and most prestigious event: The Rip Curl Pro.
"I'm so thankful and honored to have the opportunity to compete against the world's best Women Surfers in Rip Curl's historic Bells event," Bethany stated. "I hope we get conditions that I can really show my best surfing and do well in. It's always a pleasure to go to Australia!"

Hi ZRX (and Brand X) Fanatics!
I'm Pete Aronson, otherwise know as "KWICK" on the ZRX Owners' Association forum at www.ZRXOA.com.
At ExpenseiveLightweightStuff.com, I am serious about making your motorcycle lighter, faster, more durable and/or easier to service. ExpensiveLightweightStuff has been producing motorcycle parts since 2006 and Hyper-Formance, my original venture, since 1991. I specialize in making parts for the ZRX1100, ZRX1200R and ZRX DAEG. Not just the everyday "ZRX" engraved bar ends...but unique, lightweight parts and also necessary items like the KWICK Kill. The KWICK Kill is a sophisticated Tip Over sensing switch that shuts the motor off if the bike gets on it's side in a crash. Read about it in the links. It should be standard equipment on your ZRX...it is on EVERY fuel injected bike made!
2016 will be a VERY good year for ZRX enthusiasts!
As you know, I am a member at www.TechShop.ws and basically have a 15,000 square foot machine shop at my disposal to use 15 hours a day. In February, I hired an Engineer/Designer to help me create my three inch ring binder full of ideas. This week I released the "Frikkin' KWICK Valve Spring Compressor". it is on the Kool Interesting Tools page. Stay Tuned to this Bat Channel...
ExpenseiveLightweightStuff.com is a dealer for Galfer brake products, FactoryPro jetting, APE, SuperSprox, Ivan's, RaceTech, Ron Davis Radiators, MegaCycle Cams, Galfer, along with many exclusive products not available from anyone else.
We accept all major Plastic (credit cards) and PayPal. See Ordering Info Individual items have shipping prices listed. ELS will ship parts ANYWHERE in the World...we have shipped to South Korea, Malta, Columbia, Japan, Italy, Croatia, Scotland...you get the drift.
I followed the creation of the ZRX in 1997 thru various foreign magazines. Finally in 1999, they were available in the USA! I went down to Kelly's Kawasaki in Mesa, AZ, sat on Calista, and after she was prepped, she accompanied me home. We have been having a "mod" and love affair since. I have put over 74,000 miles on her over the years. I've done track days, drag raced, toured and cruized the local haunts. I even got rear ended on her, and just before surgery on my arm, I had my wife go pick her up from the tow yard so as she would not get violated. I rebuilt her while going thru therapy and she's better than ever! Just like my 1977 KZ650C1 was, Calista is a "do all" bike.
I've been turning wrenches for 45 of my 56 years on this planet. If you have any technical questions, I'll be glad to try and answer them for you...Call or email me...PM's on the board may take longer for a response. Emails are better as they stay on my screen till I answer them: firstname.lastname@example.com I also have the best library of ZRX books and magazines, foreign & domestic, in the World.

Zynga-Style Facebook Game Uses Your Family Ancestry To Create Characters
Family Village helps people discover their personal family history and create avatars of their ancestors.
Family Village aims to make the process of ancestry research more fun by combining it with social gaming. The Facebook game lets players create avatars of their own ancestors and find out more about them. According to TechCrunch:
Players can customize those avatars by dressing them in the style of clothing they would have worn during the time they were alive and can even tweak their features to resemble old photos or descriptions. As the game continues, the quests will be directly related to who that person was and what they may have been doing during their lifetime. For example, a Civil War era great-great grandfather may go to work as a soldier, which then generates in-game points. As players progress, they can collect awards, not in the form of meaningless virtual content, but in the form of actual historical documents.
Players can build villages, collect coins, buy houses and cars, and assign jobs. As their virtual village grows, Family Village finds out the player's family connections and documents such as census records, newspaper articles and marriage certificates. These can be examined, printed or stored in a personal game library. Check out the preview of Family Village below:

Detroit art museum to open Rivera and Kahlo exhibition in March
(This version of the story corrects museum that loaned 'Henry Ford Hospital' painting in paragraph 11.)
By Serena Maria Daniels
DETROIT (Reuters) - The Detroit Institute of Arts, renowned for its Diego Rivera murals, is set to open a public exhibition of his works and those of his wife, Frida Kahlo, this month, the biggest since the museum's collection was threatened in the city's bankruptcy.
"Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Detroit" will feature nearly 70 works by the Mexican artists and is the first to focus on the 11 months they spent in Detroit in 1932 and 1933, when Rivera worked mainly on the "Detroit Industry" murals.
Rivera's preparatory drawings for the 27-panel "Detroit Industry" frescoes, which have not been shown in nearly 30 years, will be part of the exhibit opening on Sunday.
The idea for the exhibit arose more than a decade ago, but uncertainty over the city-owned institution's finances and other setbacks delayed the process, museum director Graham Beal said. Dozens of works were obtained on loan from museums in the United States and Mexico and from private collectors.
"When we knew we had a life in front of us, we returned to the idea of the Rivera exhibition, based on the Rivera murals," Beal said.
Curator Mark Rosenthal teamed with experts in labor, medicine and the city's Mexican-American community to give visitors a sense of what life was like for the artists in Depression-era Detroit.
Rivera's grandson Juan Coronel Rivera told reporters it was daunting to research his grandfather but that the project helped him better understand his contributions to modern art. Continued...

Blake Lively Talks "Gifts that Last" in Gucci Fragrance Promo: Watch Here!
In a new promo video for Gucci, Blake Lively talks about what the holidays mean to her.
The "Gossip Girl" star shares, "I come from a big family, so the holidays for me is just the time that I'm excited to do nothing but spend time with my family. We love to cook and eat and play games . . . we always cook our meals together and that is such an amazing experience."
Pushing the new luxury fragrance 'Gucci Premiere,' the 25-year-old beauty explained her favorite types of gifts.
"The most important gift is something that lasts. Things that last are always the most powerful things. I think things that last are memories. So whether it's a photo album, something that was a meaningful moment for you that you make, ya know a fragrance was always something my father would give to my mother. Because it tells a story and each different time period in your life and it's a nice identifier."
Blake later admits, "It's also a little bit of a selfish gift because it's so comforting when you're near someone that you love and you recognize their smell, it's just like 'aaah that's you!'"

Explosives found in home of person of interest in shooting
The Roswell Police Department responded to the 300 block of Oakwood Street, early Tuesday. According to the police reports, a male in his late 20s went to a residence to collect money from another male. The man was shot multiple times. He was transported to the hospital where he remains.
The RPD executed a search [auth] warrant Tuesday upon the house of a person of interest in the shooting and discovered what they believed to be explosive devices and possible bomb- making equipment.
After obtaining an amended warrant, the RPD called in officials from Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Explosive Ordinance Detail and the Roswell Fire Department to assist. The warrant was served around 7 p.m. and continued beyond 9 p.m. at a location in the 3000 block of Encanto Drive.
RPD Public Information Liaison Sabrina said nearby houses were evacuated. As a precaution, the RPD asked neighboring people to stay inside their homes. Streets were blocked off from the southern section of Encanto Drive to Vista Parkway, and from Delicado to Futura drives.
At the time the Daily Record went to press, RPD indicated the area might be barricaded thoughout much of the night. The combined law-enforcement team successfully detonated one of the devices a little before 10 p.m.

Glimmer of hope for fashion ahead of Milan menswear
By Marie-Louise Gumuchian
MILAN (Reuters Life!) - Designers will show off their menswear creations for next spring starting Saturday as Milan fashion week kicks off amid hopes of a recovery for the sector.
After a "frosty" start to the year -- when there were fewer shows at the January Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 menswear fashion week -- there are some positive signals emerging, according to Italy's National Chamber of Fashion.
"(Italy's fashion industry) has been hit by a U-shaped crisis. We are going back up but how we go back up makes the difference," the body's Chairman Mario Boselli said this week.
Italy's fashion sector, which earlier this year called for government help as the economic crisis hit demand, will see turnover fall again in 2009 -- down 6.5 percent to 62.176 billion euros ($86.55 billion), according to chamber forecasts.
Smaller companies which are in debt are seen to be more at risk in the recession, experts say.
But Boselli said there were positive signs for the industry such as a 1.1 percent increase in industrial production.
While sales in fashion boutiques have fallen in the last two months, those for outlets rose, he said.
"This means that people still want designer brands but are no longer able to pay the full price," he said. Continued...

Sweet Confusionby jeazelle (English | Fiction)
Am I now ready to forget you?
Let go of this dream that you haven't got a clue.
This new attraction that I have seen,
and it is even from one of your kin.
Though I'm not yet falling,
I still feel a certain yearning.
I am now feeling this sweet confusion..
Having this internal revolution.
Should I now let go,
and let this new adoration grow?
Or should I still keep this feelings I hide,
even if I could never confide?

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
Service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with
a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals,
whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition. The work or
tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the handler ́s disability. Examples of work or tasks
include, but are not limited to, assisting individuals who are blind or have low vision with navigation and other tasks,
alerting individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to the presence of people or sounds, providing non-violent
protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, assisting an individual during a seizure, alerting individuals to the
presence of allergens, retrieving items such as medicine or the telephone, providing physical support and assistance
with balance and stability to individuals with mobility disabilities, and helping persons with psychiatric and neurological
disabilities by preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors. The crime deterrent effects of an animal ́s
presence and the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute work or tasks
for the purposes of this definition.
Based on the ADA Service Dogs are allowed public access when accompanied by their disabled handler, as long as
the above is met.
Dog Breeds
Certain breeds are preferred for service dog work, depending on the handler's disabilities and needs. We generally use
Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, all sizes of Poodles, and sometimes various mixes of these breeds. More
important than the breed is the dog's temperament, intelligence, and health.
It should be noted that most of our Service Dogs come from our own Labrador Breeding Program as we can insure the
history of their genetic health.

Little Angels Program Standards
We train and place fully trained dogs with approved disabled recipients, and
also help the disabled train their own dogs to assist them. Regardless of how
we are helping the disabled party to be assisted by a dog, our
training practices are held to a high standard, such as the standards held by
Assistance Dogs International (A.D.I.).
These standards not only insure a higher level of assistance for the disabled
party, but guarantees a high quality of life for the dog, and provides safety to
others in our community.
Dogs should:
*Be clean and well groomed.
*Eliminate in appropriate areas and only on command.
*Not solicit attention or be a distraction to the public through barking or
inappropriate behavior.
*Never show aggression, but be confident and friendly towards everyone and
*Perform at least 3 tasks to assist the disabled party specifically with their
*Respond to obedience commands consistently.
The disabled party has a right to:
*Be considered by application or consultation regardless of race, sex, religion
or creed.
*Receive a sound education for an understanding of how to control their dog in
public and at home, command the dog to assist them, and to use the dog with
appropriate service dog etiquette in the public setting.
*Receive follow-up training when needed.
*Receive advice for questions on their dog's medical treatment and behavior.
*Refer to Little Angels regarding public access issues and their rights.
All Little Angels Trainers understand and adhere to the highest level of
standards and ethics by:
*Communicating effectively and appropriately.
*Matching and evaluating dog and handler teams with care.
*Demonstrating their knowledge of canine behavior through humane training
methods with regard to the dog's well being and the safety of the public and
disabled handlers.
Together we are changing lives … one dog at a time.
|Changing lives . . . one dog at a time!
Little Angels Service Dogs is a 501c3 nonprofit organization of trainers and
volunteers who work to provide highly trained dogs to assist disabled children
and adults throughout the United States.
Our dogs are trained to assist in a variety of ways to help with daily tasks and to
increase independence.
Most of the dogs we place are puppies that have come from our own breeding
program, and are raised and molded from birth with the specific goal of being an
Assistance Dog. Others are lucky enough to be rescued from shelters, and end
up changing the lives of others.
Each dog's training is personalized in tasks to help their individual handler.

Cerebral Palsy. Maley was trained for Mobility

|Bailey is a Seizure Alert Dog, and alerts

It is our goal that all dogs are placed at no cost to
the disabled handler.
We understand the importance of adding a
service dog to your life. We would never want
finances to be the deciding factor. Many
applicants go into the process thinking they are
responsible for 'purchasing' their service dog.
This is not the case. Fundraising is an option for
our recipients, but is never a requirement.
Organizations nationwide spend an average of
$30,000.00-$40,000.00 on each assistance dog
trained. The average service dog graduates with
over 600 hours of training, and with that expense
also comes veterinary care, boarding, grooming
and training supplies. Because of the commitment
of all our wonderful volunteers Little Angels
spends a fraction of that, at $24,000.00 per dog.
This is an expense covered through fundraising.
Recipients are never expected to pay.
The first step is to request an application on our
'Apply for a Dog' page. If approved this is
followed by a 1-hour phone consultation which
allows us to assess your goals and see if a
Service Dog is right for you. If we agree that a
Service Dog is in your best interest you are able
to return your Agreement and $500.00 deposit.
This deposit shows your commitment to the
program. However, this is gifted back to you once
the fundraising is complete.

|Out of State Travel
About 80% of our recipients come to us from out of
state, so travel needs are very typical when receiving
a dog through Little Angels. If you do not live in
Southern California, travel will be necessary. You
would take a short 2-week 'vacation' to San Diego,
California for your Handler Training. Travel expenses
are the responsibility of the recipient and they will vary
per individual.
Handler Training
Hander Training is where the disabled party (or
assistant of the disabled party) learns how to work
with the dog as a team. This generally takes 14 days,
with training every day. This is when the dog learns to
respond to the commands of the handler, and when
the handler learns how to reinforce the training that
the dog has already received. We cover practical,
day-to-day life experiences so you will feel confident
taking the dog into your care.
After the completion of Handler Training we work
together on a series of field tests, which are
administered by the trainer. After graduation, you and
your dog will be certified as a working team. A
certification card will be provided to the handler, as
well as a service vest and aluminum identification tag
for your dog, which labels him or her as a service
We have a lifetime commitment to each
recipient and each dog that we place.
Once you and your dog have graduated we maintain
contact to ensure that your dog's training and
assistance remains in tact,
that the dog remains healthy and happy,
and that the dog is improving your quality of life.

Would you advise people to avoid face creams and other toiletries and cosmetics that contain parabens?
Parabens are preservatives put into face creams to give them a longer shelf life and to prevent contamination with harmful bacteria – they do nothing positive for your skin. Whether or not you use them depends on how you view the two sides of the parabens argument. The main claim against is that they have an oestrogen-like effect (albeit tiny, if it exists at all) that may increase women's chances of developing breast cancer, but the debate on the evidence for and against this claim is still ongoing. I'd recommend you read up on parabens: try the US FDA website and even Wikipedia. Would I advise people to avoid them? I have to accept that they haven't been proven to be harmful, but I'm not comfortable about using them myself. I quite like aqueous cream BP, but if you're buying a commercial product, always read the ingredients first.
I'm 31 and have for six years been taking a daily antihistamine, usually cetirizine, for urticaria, a skin rash. We're now trying to have a baby and I am worried about my reliance on antihistamines. My GP's advice hasn't been helpful. Can you help?The difficulty about advising on drugs in pregnancy, including antihistamines, is that no definitive testing has been done in pregnant humans, so manufacturers shy away from recommending them during pregnancy – this may explain why you think your GP was unhelpful. However, there is no evidence from animal studies that commonly prescribed antihistamines have adverse effects on the foetus (the exception is hydroxyzine, or Atarax). Sedative antihistamines can cause a newborn to be overexcitable, irritable and to shake, so we use non-sedative ones such as cetirizine, fexofenadine or loratadine. Have you tried to find the cause of your urticaria? It may be worth asking for a referral to an allergy specialist.

You'll never have to guess when it's time to dry hydrangeas, they'll let you know. They turn from the brightest pink to dusty pink. Maybe they'll go lilac, maybe lime tinged with pink. As they lose their pigment, some may even go spotty. But they will be a dusty version of what they were in spring. The blossoms start to feel a bit papery, even a little leathery. They're done growing and intend to show off their fall colors which makes it the perfect time to dry them.
The time to pick hydrangeas for drying happened early this year, even in California when everything in the garden seems to happen at warp speed anyway, this is still extremely early. Maybe our drought is the reason? Maybe I need to remind my garden it's still summer.
Drying them couldn't be easier. After picking trim off all the green leaves. Place them in a vase less than half full of tap water. Give them some space and leave them alone, they will look pretty as they dry. In a few weeks the water will have evaporated and your hydrangeas will be dry and ready for fall arrangements. They're pretty.

Is Your Website Bringing You Lots of Quality Leads?
If your website is NOT bringing you lots of quality leads EVERY MONTH, then you may want some advice on how to FIX it so your site does it's job. Your website should be designed, written and positioned to bring in leads and convert them successfully into paying customers consistently every month. Just because you have a website doesn't mean people know it's there - you have to market it. And just because people come to your website, doesn't mean people will buy, contact you or sign up for anything - most of the time, they won't.

I'm tired of all the hype….let's get to the meat shall we?
I'm so tired of all the hype out there on the internet about "make millions at this or that or by doing this or that".

Client relationships
It is not what we say about our own services, but what our clients say about us that really matters. Client satisfaction is the real benchmark by which we should be judged.
"You can't fault the fantastic quality of the work D Young & Co puts in. It collaborates efficiently to find the best solutions" IAM Patent 1000.
The longevity of our relationships is testament to the success of this approach. For example, 10% of our top 100 clients have been with the firm for over 20 years. And, we are proud to have worked with one blue-chip client for over 40 years.
In recent years we marked the 25th anniversary of our relationship with one major client. When we started working together the business was made up of 12 people in a converted barn. Today the business is one of the world's most respected technology companies, with a market capitalization of over £4 billion.
Our approach then, as it is now, was to work closely together, adapt and customize our processes and implement innovative filing strategies to maximize the value of their IP. We have a wealth of experience in assisting SMEs, from their initial conception and financing through to their Initial Public Offering (IPO) and beyond.

Friendly advice?
I recently ordered an m6 coupe and it finally arrived at the dealer. I thought I had done my research prior to ordering the car and wanted to stay within a certain monthly so I choose the most important options to me in order to stay within budget. The car is a 36 month lease with the following: 20 inch rims, HOD, BMW apps and vented seats. I passed on the executive package. I now wish I had not because the full led headlights look amazing and give the car a different look which I didn't realize until now. Of course bmw does not offer led headlamps as an individual option, I am uncertain why. Regardless, I have yet to take delivery of the vehicle and can defer and order another. My question to everyone here with m experience is are those led lights and the few other options included in that package worth waiting for another delivery or would most of you take the car as is. I realize this question is personal opinion but perhaps some of you can give some additional insight before I make another big decision. Thank you in advance.

The Ocean Springs offense has been very explosive this season, but not last night as Brandon controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
The Bulldogs will host Meridian next week in the second round of the 6A playoffs. Meridian won at Brandon earlier this season 28-3.
Jordan Washington and North Gwinnett continue to be very stingy on defense.
Last night Archer was limited to a field goal at North Gwinnett rolled 49-3. They take on Colquitt County next week.
Speaking of rolling, East Marion destroyed Union 50-20.
Some expected a tougher game, but once the third quarter started Xavier Grindle's night was finished. The talented running back ran for a pair of scores and 142 yards on 14 first half carries.
The Eagles take on district foe North Forrest at home next week. North Forrest upset Taylorsville 21-19 to advance in 2A south.
MSU Linebacker commitment Lelland Ducksworth continues to work hard and rehab from an injury. He hopes for a better outcome against East Marion this go around.
Earlier this season the Eagles won at North Forrest 25-6.
Nick James Long Beach Bearcats knocked off defending 5A south state champion Brookhaven last night 31-28.
Long Beach will battle an improving Pearl River Central team who upset Wayne County on Friday.
Devon Desper and Madison Central continued their impressive play with a 38-21 win over Tupelo last night.
The Jaguars will take on South Panola next week in a rematch of the 6A north state title game a season ago.
The Tigers blasted Murrah last night 42-14.
Torrey Bell and Curtis continue to look like the class of their classification as they shelled Dunham 56-7.
The Patriots will take on Ville Platte this week.
Adarrius Perkins played solid on defense and returned a late kickoff inside the South Pike ten yard line to keep FCAHS in the game, but in the end the Aggies could not recover the onsides it needed to prolong the game.
South Pike advances after the 36-28 upset win.
Brandon Holloway scored on a 24 yard touchdown pass with three minutes left to give Alonso a fourth quarter lead over Sickles Thursday night.
That lead was short lived as Sickles scored on a 4th down touchdown pass to win 20-14.
Gus Walley and Greene County's season has come to an end after a 42-20 loss to Laurel.
Ryan Brown and Shaw snuck into the playoffs and their season ended pretty much as it went all season.....with no offense.
Shaw closed out the year with a 32-0 loss to Neville.
Quadry Antoine and Belle Chasse also took a first round exit as they fell to St. Augustine 62-30.
Cedric Jiles and Clinton drew Olive Branch in the first round and the Conquistadors did what a #1 seed is supposed to do and that is win big.
The Arrows fall 49-14 to end their 2011 season.
Deonte Evans and McComb did not fair much better as Picayune won in 35-6 in first round playoff action.
Dylan Holley and Gulf Coast will play East Mississippi on Saturday at 2 PM in the MACJC state title game.
The Bulldogs knocked off Northeast 20-17 last week in overtime to advance.

Student Experiences
"Prior to graduating with a BA in Political Science in August 2008, I was unsure of what career path I would pursue. I discovered my current career when one of my professors notified me of a career fair and suggested I attend to get an idea of career options. I took his advice and explored many different companies in many different industries at the fair. I discovered the financial services industry there and researched the possibilities. Today, I have a successful career in the financial services industry as a Financial Services Professional for New York Life.
My education at HPU has a lot to do with my current success. I learned from professors who had decades of real world experience in various industries and provided one on one attention in class. They were more than willing to give me advice, both as a student, and now as a graduate. The quality of the education I received, both in and out of the classroom at Hawai'i Pacific University, has given me a tremendous advantage."Kristen Kearns
BA Political Science
Tustin, CA
Financial Services Professional
New York Life
"The best thing about Hawai'i Pacific University are the professors. All of my MBA professors have had real world experience in the subjects they teach, so it's almost as if you're interacting with a qualified professional every day you come to class. I've had a lot of hands-on learning, which definitely strengthens your understanding of how businesses works, but it also builds up your confidence. There's nothing that compares to going to an interview, meeting with your prospective employer, and saying "Yes, I know how to do that" every time they ask you a question.
Today, I'm a Marketing Coordinator at PDC Systems, a small but respected IT firm here in Hawaii. I probably never would have heard of them if they hadn't requested some help from my marketing professor. I first started working for them as an intern, which was arranged through the Career Services Center. Once that internship was complete, PDC needed someone to help them revamp their look and how they did business. With all the skills I had learned while at HPU, I knew I was the perfect match- and they did, too."

"Without HPU, I probably would not have landed the job I have now. I graduated with a BS in Computer Science in January 2007. In March 2007, I volunteered at a technology job fair held by HPU's Career Services Center. At the job fair, two CSC staff members introduced me to an employer that was looking for an Application Developer. That same afternoon I was called in for a job interview and a few days later I was hired! After two and a half years, I'm still working for the same company, Maui Varieties Ltd.
In this position, I've been able to apply a lot of the technical and problem solving skills that I acquired at HPU. The professors at HPU enabled me to increase these skills through the projects they assigned. During my last semester I was able to be a part of a project that was for a real client. I experienced first hand what it meant to build something to address a client's needs. The experiences that I acquired from that project alone are invaluable."Ellaine Fellipe

The time I spent at HPU was one of the greatest times in my life. I learned many important skills that enabled me to do well in the competitive Japanese job market.
I graduated with a BSBA in International Business in January 2009. My experience with the diverse student population of HPU greatly enhanced my communication skills. I used these communication skills to clearly explain how my knowledge and experience would add value during my job interview with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. As a result, I was offered a job at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and now work in the purchasing department at the General Machinery & Special Vehicle Headquarters. Due to the skills I acquired at HPU, I was recruited by my first- choice company."

"HPU gave me the knowledge and solid foundation to pursue my dream of having my own jewelry company. Those dreams became a reality when I founded MCKmetal in 2006. It hasn't always been easy and glamorous, but I can say I am working hard for ME and making MY dream a reality. I am thankful to HPU for the great start in the business world and for believing in me."McKenzie Satimer
BA Entrepreneurial Studies
Kailua-Kona, HI
"HPU has given me incredible opportunities and enabled me to achieve my academic and professional goals. HPU provided me with a cheerleading scholarship and the staff and faculty supported me throughout my educational endeavors, even after graduation.
When I neared the end of my junior year, I was not quite sure how I wanted to use my degree. I visited the Career Services Center (CSC) and they were very helpful in directing me towards opportunities that coincided with my personal goals. CSC helped place me in an internship that summer at the federal building. This allowed me to get a lot of experience, to network, and to build up my resume before graduation.
After graduation, I visited the CSC once more for their assistance in job placement. I was able to find a job in a law firm downtown working as a Paralegal while I continued my legal education. The amount of knowledge I have gained from these experiences has helped me to better determine my career path and encouraged me to set new goals for the future."

"Professors with years of field experience. Flexible class schedules that allowed me to gain hands-on experience through internships and a part-time job. Relevant courses that gave me the tools and the skills to succeed. Networking opportunities with peers and professionals alike. A global experience through cultural diversity. These are the reasons I chose to attend Hawai'i Pacific University for both my undergraduate and graduate degree.

While at HPU, I enjoyed learning from the professors who had many years of work and teaching experience, knew how to make their areas of focus relevant to us, and encouraged us to push ourselves beyond our creative and strategic limits. The latter is a value I continue to carry with me today.
As an advertising student at Hawai'i Pacific University, I took on opportunities to develop my leadership skills, whether it was through collaborating with classmates for group projects, or managing HPU's Akamai Advertising Club. With the Akamai Advertising Club, I traveled to San Francisco and represented HPU in a national advertising competition for the American Advertising Federation. The preparation for that competition, as well as the competition itself, gave me valuable experience and insight into the time, dedication, skills, and talent it takes to create an outstanding advertising campaign."Liberty Peralta

"I am very proud to say that Hawai'i Pacific University has prepared me educationally and professionally to pursue my corporate goals.
My educational experience included interaction with working professionals. In my capstone course, I was given the opportunity to present my case-studies to business leaders. This was an essential bridge into today's ever-changing business environments.
In addition, HPU's Career Services Center provided a direct link and network relationship to internships and employment which afforded the opportunity to launch such an exciting career. I owe allot to HPU for providing me the great tools to succeed. Thank you HPU!"

"Hawai'i Pacific University gave me the tools to fulfill my career goals. I received a strong foundation to excel in journalism when I graduated with a BA in communication. HPU provided internships, well-rounded instruction, and a variety of extracurricular activities to assist my transition into the real world.

"The knowledge I gained as well as my personal growth at Hawai'i Pacific University has proven valuable in my professional career. The diverse student body gave me the opportunity to improve and refine my communication skills. Working on projects and presentations with fellow students from all over the world helped me to convey my thoughts and ideas, as well as understand others, on an entirely new level. The professors at HPU were even more vital to my growth and development. As accomplished professionals in their respective fields, they shared their expertise in classroom instruction and discussions.

Re: Why relatively slow on Apple G4?
Most of the speed of a G4 comes form Motorola's AltiVec technology and is
particulary noticable when using floating point operations. However,
software has to be written in a way that takes advantage of these features
(a good example is the latest Photoshop which is considerably faster on a
500 MHZ G4 than on a 1000 MHZ Pentium III. The same is true for several
encryption programs.) and Mathematica 4 does not.
