Sticks and Stones
Monday, March 16, 2009
Susan Boyd
For some inexplicable reason I have been watching "American Idol" this season. Other than some of the preliminary rounds with all the awkward, tone deaf William Hungs believing they can actually win a recording contract, I've pretty much ignored the program. This year the nephew of one of my husband's patients, Danny Gokey, is on the show, so I guess that's the curiosity. What I've discovered is that the real point of the series isn't for the contestants to win. No, it's for the public to judge them and not just with a weekly vote. Idol bashing has risen to the status of a new public sport. Each contestant is run through the ridicule mill facing criticism about wardrobe, dance, tattoos, voice, facial hair, hair, hair color, and personality. Simon Cowell doesn't even figure in these slam downs. Normally thoughtful and rational people suddenly become nasty, back-biting fiends when they discuss the show.
Reality shows in general bring out the armchair critic in us. We have an opinion about every aspect of someone's else life just because we can. Having "The Bachelor" in our living rooms one hour a week for twelve weeks gives us the right to decide who his wife should be. We can get as upset about someone getting voted out of the tribe as we would if it were our own mother being sent to the gulags. So perhaps it is no surprise that we find ourselves offering up our critiques on an eight year old's ability to pass under pressure or a coach's choices for the starting line-up. We have been validated as experts. After all, the fate of America's Idol rests in our hands!
We live in a media world where people's fates can be decided with the beep of a buzzer or a cell phone call to the number on the screen. We zap our enemies instantly on the video screen. We can order anything (and I mean that literally) on Ebay with a few clicks of our mouse. So it's no wonder we think we have the right to offer running commentary on our child's soccer game.
Stand on the side lines of any soccer game and you will hear a chorus of opinions freely and loudly expressed. We criticize the opponents. We criticize our fellow players. We criticize the coaches. We criticize the referees. We even criticize the parents. You've heard the comments and, admit it, you've made the comments. "He can't pass." "She's a ball hog." "I swear I could coach better than he can." And those are the just the observations I can repeat on a family web site. The more passionate we become, the more X-rated the vocalizations grow. We forget we aren't in our living room shouting at the screen, "He's an idiot for picking her." When we're at the soccer field we're in a crowd of people who actually love "the idiot" and think he's doing a bang up job.
Most players are too young and too innocent to be the object of our judgment. How often have you spent the ride home in the car critiquing the entire game and judging the individual player performances? Such evaluations can model for our impressionable children undesirable behaviors. They are learning to aim the magnifying glass at others, rather than on themselves. And if you think those comments don't spread beyond the car, then you live in a fool's paradise. Of course sometimes we make our comments public. Sideline chatter regularly turns to assessments of the players, frequently focusing on the opposition. The problem is that in the close confines those comments might be overheard by the parent of our target. Those stinging remarks can affect relationships not to mention stirring up immediate conflict. I've seen my share of sideline battles brought on by an overheard observation. I came close to erupting when someone accused my eleven year old son of "flopping." I was surprised at how much I was personally offended by the remark. It showed me the power of words.
We grow up hearing "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," which is a noble concept and totally unrealistic. Words hurt us all the time. We have all been the object of some form of ridicule which you think would give us pause when dishing it out. But our culture and the sense that in this huge world we are somehow anonymous embolden us. We may express our views in hushed tones under our breath to the person next to us and believe it won't go any further, but the grape vine curls everywhere. Our words have tremendous power to harm. While we'll never be able to totally stop the urge to criticize, we can all try to be more mindful of where and when we exercise our expertise. So keep delivering those reality show verdicts. After all, Simon Cowell's balance sheet depends on your continued disparagement of the contestants.
Relive Pain with PRICE
Monday, March 16, 2009
Sam Snow
If you experience a sprain or strain while playing soccer, a method known as PRICE is a good way to relieve pain and reduce swelling. After a few days of the PRICE method, most sprains, strains, pulls and tears should begin to heal.
Try the PRICE method for your next injury.
rotect: Protect the injured area from further injury by using braces or crutches.
est: Rest the injured area by discontinuing painful activity.
ce: Cold packs – either an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables – can provide short-term pain relief as well as reduce swelling by limiting the blood flow to the injury.
ompression: Wrapping an elastic bandage snugly around the injured area can decrease swelling and speed up the healing process. (Wrap towards the heart.)
levation: If possible, keep the area elevated above the level of the heart to help reduce swelling.
When to See a Physician
Although every injury situation is different, if the player is not able to withstand the pain or the ability to move is limited, then a visit to a physician is in order. Pain and swelling that last a few days without getting better are other indications that a physician should evaluate the injury.
Rare Meeting
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
Sam Snow
It is rare to have such a meeting; well actually it likely never occurs anywhere other than the United States, as occurred last Wednesday. The annual State Technical Directors meeting took place at the 2009 US Youth Soccer adidas Workshop. But this year's meeting was special with the addition of the U.S. Men's National Team head coach, Bob Bradley joining us. Coach Bradley spoke to the State Association Technical Directors on the current status of the U.S. Men's National Team and how the team is performing. A great dialog took place among the coaches as we spoke about player development and international competition. It was clear that many of the challenges club coaches face in developing youth players and improving team performance are also faced by the National Team staff. So no matter what the level of play is there's always room for improvement.
We finished off the morning session with reports from the US Youth Soccer Technical Department and the Coaching Committee. The best was yet to come in the afternoon session.
Joining the coaches in the afternoon were several state association presidents and executive directors, as well as luminaries from US Youth Soccer and U.S. Soccer. The afternoon meeting began with Larry Monaco, president of US Youth Soccer; Sunil Gulati, president of U.S. Soccer; Jim Cosgrove, executive director of US Youth Soccer; Dan Flynn, general secretary of U.S. Soccer, Bob Bradley, head coach of the US Men's National Team; Kevin Payne, chair of the U.S. Soccer Technical Committee; John Hackworth, Development Academy Technical Director for U.S. Soccer; Jay Berhalter, assistant general secretary of U.S. Soccer; Hugo Perez from the U.S. Soccer staff; Kati Hope, manager of the U. S. Soccer Coaching Department; four of the U.S. Soccer National Staff Coaches; Jeff Tipping, Director of Coaching for the National Soccer Coaches Association of America; Robin Russell, from the UEFA Technical Staff and three US Youth Soccer ODP regional head coaches. It is easily said that almost every real mover and shaker in American soccer was in that room last Wednesday afternoon. So what did we talk about? The national implementation of the recommendations and guidelines in the book
Best Practices for Coaching Soccer
in the United States
. The document is currently available for download or hard copy purchase at
. Both US Youth Soccer and U. S. Soccer are promoting and urging soccer clubs all across our nation to put into action the Best Practices philosophy! Ultimately, the document helps to organize a body of work originally created by many current and former U.S. Soccer coaches as position statements regarding club soccer or as curriculum for coaching education courses. It serves as a compilation of what U.S. Soccer considers to be an appropriate and responsible approach to developing soccer players.
At the core of "Best Practices for Coaching Soccer in the United States" is the belief that there is not just "one way" to teach soccer to players, nor is there just one style of coaching. These player development guidelines highlight that there is a broad spectrum of styles and methods for how everyone experiences the game. Some of these factors come from a player's background, while some of them are a product of a player's own personality.
At the youth and junior levels, however, there is a set of fundamental principles that should be considered by anyone coaching soccer. The starting point of these principles is that young soccer players require a certain amount of uninterrupted play, which allows them to experience soccer first hand. These young players should be allowed the opportunity to experiment, and with that, succeed and fail. A coach's long-term goal is to prepare a player to successfully recognize and solve the challenges of a game on his or her own. It is vital that the coach approaches soccer with this in mind.
It was clear by the end of our meeting last Wednesday that the coaches and administrators in attendance agreed with the goals and objectives within the Best Practices document. We hope you will join us and do your part to fully implement these principles!
Sports Complex
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
Susan Boyd
My three year old granddaughter plays shy around everyone, but put on some Little Richard and the girl goes wild. She bobs, weaves, claps, hops, twists, and twirls. Every inhibition she showed moments before melts away in the pounding piano chords and wails of the music. The girl can't help herself. This need to move about and use our bodies begins prenatal. Every mother and father knows about the kicks and rustles of their child in the womb. Some swear babies react to music and activity before birth. Once released into the world, babies definitely love to flail their limbs about.
So sports are a natural outlet for children. Tumbling tops the charts for the really young, but several team sports are now available for children as young as three. Parents, fearing they might miss a window of opportunity for their budding athletes, rush to get them into as many sports as possible. Adding to the pressure to do it all are TV programs which highlight precocious youngsters who golf with pros at age five or play junior national tennis at eight. However, the majority of kids are playing sports for which they have no idea of the rules or even that games are governed by rules. Either they or their parents or both just like the activity.
Youth sports are a booming business increasing every year as more and more kids and parents clamor for a wide variety of options. Over 41 million kids are involved in youth sports with many of those playing multiple sports. Lacrosse has increased from 82,000 players in 2001 to 204,000 players in 2005. USA Hockey has 350,000 members. Little League has close to 2.2 million players. US Youth Soccer registers 3.2 million players a year and CNN reports that the total number of youth soccer players may be as high as 17 million! Add the kids participating in recreational sports such as skateboarding, skiing, and bicycling and the numbers explode.
There was a time when play meant "Go outside until dinner." This unstructured play allows kids room for imagination and for taking pride in their own undirected accomplishments. After building a deck onto our house we had a huge collection of odds and ends of wood, nails, chicken wire, brackets, and metal. We became the hardware store for the neighborhood. Kids would come into our garage and pull out materials for building skateboard ramps, hideouts, and boxes to capture insects and frogs. Projects in various states of completion filled our courtyard and provided hours of intense involvement. Then there was the day we got a huge box with some delicate china pieces wrapped in literally miles of bubble wrap. The kids ended up laying the wrap out on the road and riding their bikes over it making the most amazing music out of snap, crackle, and pop. Those experiences have their place building memories and developing reasoning and discovery skills.
However more and more we are shifting to organized sports as parents feel the peer pressure to ride the youth sports wave. We fear our kids will miss out on popularity or being part of the group if they aren't in every conceivable sport available. We need to be careful not to transfer that pressure to our kids by over scheduling. Kids end up facing conflicting practices and games and the rush to do it all. The best lesson we can give our children is that of fully completing a commitment. Letting kids miss a practice for one sport so they can play in a game of another sport teaches them that they are above the team and their needs come first. That's the exact opposite of the principles kids should be learning from sports. And let's face it, most of our tiny athletes won't turn out to be sports celebrities, but we do want them to grow up to be honorable human beings. We need to be reinforcing the idea of teamwork, commitment, making choices, and respecting rules and leaders while giving kids the room to have down time.
Balancing multiple spots is possible if you use the seasons to subdivide and conquer. Kids can play soccer in the spring and football in the fall. Or do soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring. It's our job to keep track of what conflicts exist and guide them to decide which sport they will choose for the season, but make it clear they can't do them all at once. Indulging them sends the wrong message and leads to huge headaches later when the conflicts can't be resolved. Sports for kids under 12 should be primarily for exercise, giving them a taste of possibilities, and for learning the life lessons that sports offer.
Most doctors and physical therapists will support keeping a variety of sports in a child's life for as long as possible. The argument is that specialization too early will result in repetition injuries and uneven body development during the growing years. While I agree with the physical reasons not to specialize, I really think the best argument is that kids need experiences to enrich their lives and lay a strong foundation for future decisions. Every sport opens the door to new friends and new ideas. I'm a soccer junkie, and I wish all my grandkids would eventually select soccer as a sport they wish to continue into adolescence, but I'm also a realist. Not every kid is an athlete and not every athlete has the same strengths and interests. Even multi-sport athletes, who are few and far between, have one sport in which they excel even if they have strong abilities in other sports. No child can discover what part of her body responds best athletically and how her body will grow until she's much older. Tennis has a different skill set and body type than football, so kids need to complete their development before being able to wisely select a personal sport. Until then, they should try out as many sports as scheduling and finances allow.
Parents need to also accept that sports may not be the arena where their child's talents shine. Not doing well at sports doesn't mean the child is a failure. Unfortunately we have a "jock" culture which places athletes on a more visible if not higher pedestal than those who achieve in the arts or the sciences. Not many kids want to wear an "Einstein" endorsed button-down shirt, while every third child sports a Bret Favre jersey. Yet we have to keep in mind that lack of public adulation doesn't diminish the accomplishments and contributions non-athletes make to our lives. There's an art culture out there and a math culture and any number of other cultures which our children can join. We would do well to challenge our players with those opportunities also. Pick a season to do pottery classes or go to science camp.
It all comes down to providing the widest possible range of experiences we can for our kids. Sports should be a portion of that range but not overtake it. In reality most kids will not pursue sports into high school and even fewer will continue beyond high school. But sports will provide the foundation for good health and strong bodies. Sports can offer an outlet for the rest of our lives. So we should give kids several options in their early years. We should temper it all with free time and other pursuits. We don't want to give any kid a complex from sports; instead we want to give them the intellectual and motivational skills to someday design and build a sports complex.

During the week we usually just do our own things in the livingroom talking randomly whenever we think of something to say. On weekends we watch movies, go for works, hang out with friends, cuddle, etc. You don't have to be doing stuff all the time to enjoy being together.21|10|0

We actually have not started any paperwork yet, including the I-130. Are there other ramifications based on order of filing the paperwork? I've read what you've referenced, but my understanding is that that is concerning illegal activity that (in my case, for example) my wife's parents would be shielding me from; this is not the case, and the only illegal act I've committed is overstayed my visa. Is this incorrect?
That is to say, the 8 USC § 1324 would not apply to my situation, if I understand everything correctly.
That seems to be correct, hence the "you may be concerned with" line. What I mean is, if you are concerned with it, you should not be.
Aha, I understand, grammar misinterpretation. Thank you very much for your information and time!

1. In 2015 a lot of good movies are coming out like for example Jurassic World, SpongeBob Out Of Water, Part two of the Mockingjay. And new phones will probally come out like the new iPhone 7 and a new Samsung Galaxy.
2. I think that our world in 26 years will have advanced technology and vehicles will have better gas mileage. Drugs and medicines will be better then they are today. And also maybe lifespan will be longer. I predict for 2041 that the world will be better then it is today. New technology and new inventions that we will find out.

Clic warehouse catches fire in Laval
Firefighters on the roof of the Clic warehouse in Laval on Thursday March 10, 2016
CTV Montreal

Last Updated Thursday, March 10, 2016 10:41AM EST
A food warehouse in Laval caught fire early Thursday morning.
The Clic International building on Francis Hughes Ave. caught fire around 5:30 a.m.
Employees inside the warehouse tried to stop the fire, but quickly discovered it was more than they could handle.
They ran outside, but not before one of them inhaled a lot of smoke. That worker was taken to hospital for treatment.
Firefighters were quick to arrive after being notified and managed to put out the flames rather quickly. They believe the fire was sparked by an electrical failure.
Clic is known for its vegetables and legumes, both canned and dried.

Fire closes Chessington World of Adventures
A fire has broke out in the Creaky Cafe at Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey.
London Fire Brigade also claim part of an attraction has been damaged. No details of this attraction have been given, but the cafe backs on to Bubbleworks.
The fire service was called at 8.30 this morning (before the parks 10am opening), and 40 fire-fighters and eight fire engines attended the scene. The fire affected an area of 2,500 square metres. .
Craig Carter, Station Manager of the London Fire Brigade, said: "There were a lot of flames and the area was quite smoky when we arrived, but thankfully firefighters are making very good progress."
"Luckily it doesn't seem like anyone has been involved or injured. We're working with our partners at Surrey Fire and Rescue Service along with the police and ambulance services to ensure the incident is brought safely under control."
The fire is now 'under control'.
The Creaky Cafe is also very close to animal enclosures, and all animals have been moved to a safe place. There are no injuries reported.
The park was intended to open today for Festive Zoo Days, but the decision has been made to close the park all day.
Guests who pre-booked will be entitled to return on another date.

My childhood memories are, for the most part, happy ones. Skating on a freezing cold pond in Minnesota, then warming up with hot chocolate from a Thermos. Dancing with my mom and siblings around our living room, while The Beatles and Three Dog Night records played on our Hi-Fi and we laughed and laughed. I remember camping in the Arizona mountains, where my dad taught me how to shoot tin cans with a rifle, and where - after ditching our family tent in favor of sleeping on a boulder under the stars - I once awoke at dawn to find a squirrel sitting on my chest, eating a pine cone.
Of course, I have a couple of not-so-happy memories, too. One in particular stuck with me over the years. I was about 6 or 7 years old, I think, and my parents had taken us out to Baskin Robbins for ice cream. It was busy. As we waited for our turn, I remember trying to get a peek through the crowd at the big tubs of ice cream, then feeling a little overwhelmed by the grownups blocking my view. Without looking, I instinctively leaned against my dad, hooking my arm around his leg. A voice said, "Oh, hi there," and I looked up to find that I was hugging not my dad, but a strange man, who was smiling kindly down at me. I backed away, panicking for a second, then heard my dad laugh as he realized my mistake and gently pulled me close to him. Dad held my hand, and a few minutes later I was happily eating my single scoop on a sugar cone. Thinking back, it wasn't really anything so terrible. It was just a mix up, a fleeting moment. I was never in any danger. But in that exact moment, I learned what it was to feel fear.
That memory came back to me a few weekends ago. My kids and I had just finished grabbing some frozen yogurt, followed by a quick trip to the grocery store, where we were waiting to check out. While the cashier bagged our pasta sauce and tea, my Little Man wandered a few feet ahead of me, stretching his jacket up over his head, just looking around. I turned back to get my receipt, grabbed our grocery bag, and headed out with the kids to the car.
As we drove home, I noticed my Little Man was quieter than usual. "Everything okay, buddy?" I asked. He caught my eye in the rearview mirror, a strange look on his face. "I guess so," he answered. Then, "Mommy? When we were at the store, someone... touched me." My hands tightened on the steering wheel. "Who touched you, baby? Where?" He answered in a small voice, "A man. He touched my stomach." Apparently some idiot jackass pervert stranger thought it was, what - funny? harmless? something worse? - to poke a little boy's tummy as he innocently stretched his arms overhead in a grocery store. I hope, really hope, that this man had no ill intentions; that he meant it as a harmless joke. But you know what? That doesn't make it okay. Because he took away a little piece of my son's carefree childhood that day. And because it is never, ever okay to touch a child you don't know.
A storm of emotions engulfed me: fear, confusion, anger. I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself. I quietly said, "Oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" And my Little Man - my sweet boy who makes Origami bunnies for his sisters and writes essays expressing his wishes for a better world "where no one smokes and everyone is nice to each other" - bravely nodded his head as tears welled up in his eyes. My heart ached.
I reached back to hold his hand for a moment. I reassured him. As we drove on, we talked a little about how it's not okay for a stranger to touch a kid. I told my Little Man and his sisters what to do if someone ever tried to touch any of them again -- and we made a game of shouting "Stop it!" and "Leave me alone!" We were almost home when my Little Man asked me what I would do if someone tried to grab him or his sisters. One of my daughters chimed in, "What if someone tried to take us away?" The smile left my face. I don't think of myself as a violent person, but I answered in all seriousness, "I would karate chop him. I would kick him and hit him as hard as I could. I would never let anyone hurt you, and I would never let anyone take you away from me." My Little Man smiled. "Thanks, Mommy."
Suzanne's "Better than Sharon's" Sugar Cookie Recipe
Yes, I realize it's February and my photos are of Christmas cookies. From 2009. And no, I have no idea who Sharon is. (Years ago, my dear friend Suzanne baked and iced dozens of beautiful cookies to give as favors at her wedding, and when I asked for the recipe, that was what she had typed at the top.) These cookies hold their shape well, but remain relatively soft to the bite. As such, they are great for decorating. Because the recipe bakes up perfectly as written, I haven't yet tried any modifications, so I can't suggest substitutions for the shortening-averse (although I am curious to try coconut butter in its place). I can, however, suggest that you make some with your kids, as soon as possible... no need to wait for a holiday. They'll love cutting the dough and smearing the icing almost as much as you'll love watching them do so. And everyone will love eating the results.
Use organic ingredients whenever possible.
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon table salt)
Mix shortening, butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla together. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir dry ingredients into wet mixture just until dough comes together. (Do not overmix or your cookies will be tough.)
Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out portions of dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out desired shapes with a cookie cutter that has been lightly dipped in flour. Place cookies 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 6-10 minutes, depending on size, until cookies are just beginning to brown on the edges.
Remove from oven. Cool cookies completely on a wire rack. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze (well-wrapped) for up to a month.
Makes approx. 20 - 38 cookies, depending on size (1-3").

I'm 21 and I've never been on a date, kissed a girl, or had a girlfriend. I've never asked a girl out and now I feel like it's pointless to even try because most girls want a guy with experience and expect him to be experienced by this age since she will most likely be experienced. I just wanted to know if I was to try, how much rejection am I in for because of this? I honestly don't see any way out of this situation besides lying about my lack of experience, which is sad but at the same time I don't feel so bad because a lot of girls lie and say that lacking experience isn't a problem when it really is. And to any girls that answer this, Please don't lie and say it's not a problem or something like it's "cute" and "sweet" or the right girl won't care. I can see through those lies and I know that you say that not to make a guy feel bad. But you know what? It hurts more to be rejected by a girl you like for being inexperienced than simply being told online that it's a turn off.
Most Helpful Girl
You want straight up honesty from my opinion? Here it is: Coming from a 20-something virgin whose first boyfriend was 26 when she was 19, all he ever did was brag about all the chicks he's been with and OMG turns out I even knew some of them (girls who warned me too). He claimed I was in the mid-20s when I asked him what # girl I was? He rubbed in my new-to-dating face how inexperienced I was and how I should do EVERYTHING his way because "that's what people do" which pressured me to do things I wasn't ready or comfortable with - yet. Although, I kept my virginity (glad I did). In the end, his "experience" made me nervous and insecure because I felt like I would be compared to the other girls he'd been with and I feared I would fail miserably. So I don't like it when a guy is really experienced.
I do genuinely like a guy who would wait (not for marriage but for the right girl or for at least to be in love). I held on to mine because I want my first time to be with someone i love who loves me and I just didn't feel like I could love a guy like that. Now, before u call me a liar or doubt me, I will admit as a virgin I am afraid that dating another virgin might seem awkward for the two of us in the beginning as we both may not know what to do or get too nervous making it a bad experience. NOT saying I WOULDN'T date a virgin, but if a guy had a LITTLE experience and knew a little more than me (being the virgin I am) then at least he knows what he's doing and can help guide me a little with my first time. Hopefully then I'll learn and it'll be great for the both of us.21|10|0

The Presidential Scare Monger is also sometimes referred to as the Director of National Intelligence or "DNI". This job includes what used to be called the "DCI" or "Director of Central Intelligence" or "Boss of the CIA". Now, though, we expect a lot more scare-mongering for our collective national buck, so the job also includes heading up the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council for national security related intelligence, overseeing the National Intelligence Program, and heading up the Intelligence Community. Pretty much all of these are different ways of saying that if you have an "Intelligence" related job, The DNI is now the boss of you.
Currently filling this position is the oh-so-frightening Vice Admiral Mike McConnell. Try not to run into him in a dark alley. Seriously. Code red.

Does your preschooler have an Elf on the Shelf? Every year around Thanksgiving or December 1, millions of kids across the country wake up to find that a friend has returned (or arrived for the first time) in the form of an adorable elf. As the book that accompanies your friend goes, the elf is there to keep an eye on your little ones and report back to Santa Claus how they've been behaving. Each night, when everyone is asleep, the elf travels all the way to the North Pole to have a chat with the big guy in red. When he returns in the morning, he is in a different spot than when he was the day before!

There are two important rules your child must remember:

To give their elf a festive name (ours is called Buddy)

To never, ever touch their elf or he will lose his magic

Of course, parents have the job of moving the elf each night after the kids go to sleep. This can be a lot of fun as you get to think of lots of creative ways to position your magical friend. Not sure how to get started? We've got you covered with 75 Elf on the Shelf ideas! Keep reading!

1. Let your elf ride the train that circles the Christmas tree
2. Hang the elf from your ceiling fan or light fixture.
3. Put your elf in the refrigerator.
4. Pose your Elf with the Barbies that live in your house.
5. Have him toilet paper your Christmas tree.
6. Have him make a snowman using last night's leftover mashed potatoes.
7. Have the elf wrap up some of your furniture or appliances like the tv above.

8. If you have two Elves on the shelf, position them together on the tree (above).
9. Have him climb up a wall by using tape or putty.
10. Position your elf so it is driving a toy car.
11. Hang your Elf on the Shelf so he is climbing up the cords for the blinds or shades on your window.
12. Using marshmallows, set up a tic-tac-toe game that your Elf on the Shelf plays (don't eat the marshmallows after you write on them!).
13. Have your Elf on the Shelf make a "snowflake" using Q-Tips.
14. Make sure your Elf on the Shelf keeps his area clean by sweeping up with a paintbrush "broom."

15. Have your Elf on the Shelf make snow angels using salt or sugar (above).
16. Set up a classroom with a chalkboard and stuffed animal students that your elf can teach.
17. Put your elf on a toy sleigh that you hook up to toy horses or dogs.
18. Lay your elf on a small washcloth, make small sunglasses, and surround him with suntan lotion bottles. Cut out a paper sun.
19. Put your elf on the toilet. Place peppermint candies in the water (do this right before your child finds the elf).
20. Gather all your pillows in the house and make a pile. Put the elf at the top.
21. Place your Elf on the Shelf on a pile of books, with one book open for her to read.

22. Put your Elf on the Shelf behind a picture frame, removing the picture so your Elf on the Shelf peers out.
23. Let your Elf on the Shelf take a nap on some marshmallows.
24. Let your Elf on the Shelf zip line down the Christmas tree (above).
25. String up a hammock between two plants for your Elf on the Shelf to relax on.
26. If your Elf on the Shelf has a naughty streak, let her write on a mirror with washable markers.
27. Attach your elf to the straight part of a candy cane. Hang him upside down from Christmas garland.
28. Let your Elf on the Shelf have a (cotton ball) snowball fight with other toys.

Elf on the Shelf tip: When positioning your Elf on the Shelf, make sure he's in a place where your child won't be able to touch him.

29. Let your Elf on the Shelf play board games with the other stuffed animal friends (above).
30. Put your elf in front of the computer and google something Christmasy that your elf might be looking at.
31. Position your Elf on the Shelf in a coffee mug under the coffee machine.
32. Let your Elf on the Shelf go fishing with a small pole and Goldfish cracker fish.
33. Have your elf spell out your child's name in cereal.
34. Place your elf in a Slinky and hang him upside down.
35. While your kids are sleeping, paint their noses red like Rudolph. Make your elf hold a paint brush and a sign that directs your kids to look in the mirror.

36. On days when kids have been especially good, let your Elf on the Shelf bring a treasure the next morning. (Above)
37. Have your elf plant a candy cane forest in a bowl of sugar.
38. Let a naughty elf hang another stuffed toy to the wall with tape.
39. If your child won't take it seriously, have your elf fill your child's lunchbox with candy and a sign that says "I packed your lunch! I hope you like it!"
40. Give your Elf on the Shelf skis made of Popsicle sticks with candy cane poles.
41. Have your elf make a tower with Legos or blocks.
42. Position your elf in front of paper snowflakes, scraps of paper, and scissors.

44. Have your Elf on the Shelf hang other articles of clothing where your stockings are hung.
45. Write a message in Legos to your child from your elf.

55. Have your Elf on the Shelf make a snowman out of powdered mini doughnuts.
56. Put your Elf on the Shelf on top of a clock and change the time to North Pole Time.

Elf on the Shelf tip: Sometimes, on occasion, the elf doesn't move (hey, you forgot, it happens to everyone!) Many parents are able to explain this away by either saying:

The elf must have been too tired to make the long journey

The elf may not have been happy with the child's behavior the night before

The elf decided he liked watching the child from that spot and wanted to return to it once again

57. Let your Elf on the Shelf lead all the other stuffed animals in sack races (use brown paper bags).
58. Position your Elf on the Shelf to show that she made some cookies! (Above)

69. Make a swing for your elf using string and a toilet paper roll.

Behind the Scenes of (dis)ABLED InsideOut
A large scale art and awareness project kicks off in Manhattan
This past weekend marked a new milestone for actress and film producer Leopoldine Huyghues Despointes—who first won our attention at this year's Sundance with the short film Rabbit. Hundreds of volunteers, visitors, artists and athletes joined her inside and outdoors at NYC's Brookfield Place, where she and actor Diego Osorio helmed a large-scale art and awareness program: (dis)ABLED InsideOut. There, Huyghues Despointes and Osorio greeted a photo booth truck belonging to French artist JR and lent their own voices to his people's art project InsideOut. And as throngs of differently abled people arrived to have their portraits taken, the experience felt powerful. (dis)ABLED InsideOut wants to offer a voice to those without, and it's only just begun.
"Our first gathering day was a total success," Huyghues Despointes shares with CH. "We got to take approximately 600 portraits of individuals believing in the cause. It was fantastic to see smiles on everyone's faces. It was even more fantastic to see people's positive reactions, telling me they felt like part of something important—and to see excitement from people usually hiding from cameras." Huyghues Despointes is seeking 3,000 portraits total—welcoming those with any sort of disability, as well as those who want to support the cause. In October, Disability Awareness Month, all 3,000 portraits will be pasted in an iconic, public NYC location for the world to see. "I feel blessed. I feel confident and ready to accomplish so much more. The movement is on!" she continues.
One of the event's volunteer photographers, Emily Metzguer, shares her own experience: "Like many InsideOut projects the cause is noble and necessary. Being a part of a movement that utilizes photography for awareness, to educate, as a proponent of change... it's a dream. The success of the first day is a testament to Lele, JR, hardworking volunteers and interns, the participants and their support systems, and of course the power of imagery."
(dis)ABLED InsideOut will host more public events in the coming months, with a view in mind to hit all five boroughs, en route to collecting all of the images they need. Information will be posted on their website. With an environment so welcoming, beautiful and creative, and a good message at its core, it's public art worth participating in.

Their Waterfowl Extended Choke Tubes are manufactured from 1704 stainless steel and designed to throw tighter and denser patterns than conventional choke tubes.

Do not shoot steel shot larger than BBB or any steel load faster than 1550 FPS through the Full or Extra Full Constrictions. Slugs, sabots, and rifled slugs are not to be used in any choke constriction tighter than Improved Cylinder. Remember to pattern your shotgun choke tube with the specific shotshell load you are going to be using. Different brands of ammunition throw different patterns from the same choke tube.

Per title...
Just wondering if there's any difference. Maybe there is... maybe not.
However, I do realize that "I like you" has more of a statement-like like kinda feel to it whereas inserting the word "do" in it makes it feel more like, "I like you BUT...".
That's just what I think about this and I'm curious what others think!
Most Helpful Guy
"I like you" is a statement
"I do like you" is an answer.22|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
I personally interpret "I do like you" as more reassuring, as if you'd just told the person "you don't like me" and they respond with "I do like you".
If they don't actually add the "but..." then I think it's kind of silly to assume that they're being insincere or something.11|00|0

When Network Appliance ( NTAP) ratcheted down its guidance in early August, plenty of investors took the network storage company off the radar screen. But that's changing fast. Shares have run up nearly 30% since early October -- five times more than the Nasdaq -- and the company's charts indicate that there's still upside, says Rob Funk, of RGF Capital Partners, a New York-based hedge fund. Funk, who doesn't hold NetApp at the moment, notes that the 50-day moving average is trending up and more importantly, the downtrend that started in mid-December of 2004 has been broken. As a short-term buy, it's a little pricey at $30. Funk would like an entry point of about $28. But as a longer-term play, it looks very good, he says. If investors needed more convincing, they got it in the shape of this week's
solid second-quarter earnings announcement . "NetApp surprised us by bouncing back from last quarter's miss as quickly and as strongly as it did, making the stock that much more attractive, even at current levels, for momentum investors seeking one of tech's highest organic growth rate companies," Goldman Sachs hardware maven Laura Conigliaro said in a note to clients. Indeed, NetApp grew revenue by nearly 29% in the September quarter, while rivals EMC ( EMC) grew 16.5% and Hitachi Data Systems 24.7%. Of course NetApp is growing on a much smaller base. A year ago, NetApp posted revenue of $375.2 million, while EMC's revenue was a bit more than $2 billion. However, Conigliaro, whose firm has banking relationships with NetApp and EMC, has some concerns about valuation; the stock is trading at 30 times 2006 earnings estimates -- or 43 times when the cost of expensing options is included. She also notes that NetApp and EMC "could be on a collision course."

- "How is it you're the only one who still lives?"
- —The leader before vanquishing a guard.[src]
The Sokols were a clan of demons that were rivals to Malvoc's Clan. They wore metal bracers to show which clan they belonged to.
While claiming territory, Malvoc's Clan was attacked by the Charmed Ones. In order to get their innocent back, Malvoc decided to frame the Sokols for their actions. He and Vassen vanquished several Sokols and stole their bracers. They then attacked the manor and left a bracer behind, which Piper and Leo used to track the Sokols and vanquish them all.
When time was reversed, Leo vanquished Malvoc before he could frame his rivals, though Leo noted he knew where to find the Sokols, meaning they were presumably vanquished again.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Active Powers
- Fireballs: The ability to throw spheres of fire. The leader of the Sokols used this to vanquish one of his guards for failing.
The Sokols appeared in a total of 1 episode throughout the course of the series.

Choosing the best things to see in Paris can be overwhelming especially if time is limited. There are so many options vying for attention. However, there are some sites that make the "must see" list.
Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World's Fair and designed by architect, Gustave Eiffel. As an easily recognized symbol of Paris, visitors from around the world flock to this iron lattice tower. It is the tallest site in Paris with the third level reaching over 900 feet in the air.
Visitors can access three levels each with amazing views. On the first level there is a post office, so be sure to take postcards to mail back home, which will be postmarked from the Eiffel Tower. Le Jules Verne, an elegant restaurant, beckons foodies for a sophisticated meal on the second level of the Eiffel Tower. The third level offers breathtaking views of Paris. Visitors may opt to climb the stairs to the first and second level of the tower. This is not for the faint of heart or those in poor physical condition. An elevator is available to all three levels.
Notre Dame Cathedral
No visit to Paris would be complete without a visit to Notre Dame Cathedral. The Cathedral is easily identified by the flying buttresses that provide support to this Gothic Cathedral. Initial construction on the Cathedral began in 1163 and finished in 1240. During the French Revolution in the 1790s, many of religious images were damaged or destroyed.
During a visit to Notre Dame, be sure to pay attention to the organ, which has an amazing 7,374 pipes. If time allows, be sure to climb up to the bell tower. The entrance to the stairs that lead to the bell tower is on the left side of the main entrance. Once upstairs, there are magnificent views of Paris. From this level, Notre Dame's famous gargoyle rain spouts are easy to see in great detail. Additionally, one can visit the tombs of Notre Dame. Remember that Notre Dame is an active Catholic Church offering mass daily, so dress and act appropriately.
Le Louvre Museum
Housed in the Palais du Louvre, the Louvre Museum is one of the most visited museums in the world. The Louvre first opened its doors as a museum during the French Revolution in 1793 with just a little over 500 paintings. The collection has grown to cover prehistoric art through art of the 19th century. The museum currently displays almost 35,000 pieces, ranging from paintings to sculptures.
The main entrance to the Louvre Museum lies just under the modern iconic glass pyramid in the palace courtyard. To glance at each piece of art would take an estimated nine months, so decide which pieces to see beforehand. However, two of the most popular pieces are Michelangelo's Mona Lisa (La Joconde) and the armless Venus de Milo.
A trip to Paris is exciting and filled with new experiences. There is much to do and see, but do not miss these top three sites.

Can we expect an AVX version in the feature? Or AVX will be overkill for this kind of application?
The current version of Embree operates on individual rays and demonstrates very good performance with SSE. AVX will not give a significant speed improvement for single ray traversal.AVX does definitely make sense with a packet ray tracer that handles multiple rays in a ray packet, however, Embree does not support this mode of operation.
