Kita the baby reticulated giraffe didn't waste any time getting started with her new life at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo.
Zookeepers discovered her mother, Zahra, was in labor when they arrived for work at 7 a.m. Aug 6, and Kita was born about 90 minutes later, the zoo said in its baby announcement. Within 30 minutes, Kita was standing up on her own, and she started nursing from her mother within her first hour.
That quick progress seems to fit with her name: In the Swahili language of Africa, Kita means "to stand firm," the zoo announcement said. Kita also is named after her maternal great-grandmother.
Both Kita and Zahra are doing well, Dr. Kami Fox, the zoo's staff veterinarian, said in the zoo's announcement.
During her first veterinary checkup, Kita measured 6 feet, 1 inch tall and about 170 pounds, the zoo reported.
"The exam on Monday showed that all her (Kita's) vitals were within the normal range, and she is progressing as expected," Fox said.
Zahra will continue to take care of Kita off exhibit for now, but zoo officials hope mother and daughter will be out in the giraffe exhibit before the zoo closes for the season Oct. 8, the zoo announcement said.
With Kita's birth, the zoo now is home to eight reticulated giraffes.
Giraffes in zoos and animal parks are becoming important because poaching, habitat destruction, and wars and unrest among people in Africa are causing a rapid decline in giraffe populations in the wild, the zoo announcement said. The zoo has been making donations to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation to assist it with giraffe research and developing ways to save animals in the wild.
Zoo hours through 9 a.m.-7 p.m. daily now through Labor Day, and then 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily through Oct. 8.

I went for a walk today and saw a gigantic pumpkin in the trash. I don't know how it lasted this long, but it was still as tangerine as a tic tac.
This happened after I went to sit with my neighbor to watch the hummingbirds nest and feed their babies in the oleanders between our houses. You can't see the babies in my pictures, but I'm hoping to get a few shots of them with my long lens over the next few weeks. My neighbor read you're not supposed to get very close because you could alert other predators to their presence.
When we were at the beach a few weeks ago I took a picture of two of my surf kids on manual focus by accident, but there they are just before the fall term ended. If it weren't for them, I would have only associated age thirteen with accidentally wearing boxer shorts for "free dress" at school, getting hit in the mouth with a kickball and trying to sell my 7th grade teacher's desk supplies for pennies and quarters at lunch with my best friend Erin. Now I'm learning what weather is perfect for eating Acai bowls and overhearing conversations about how the best flavor of cough drops is Strawberry Cream. I didn't even know they made that kind, but apparently the honey flavor tastes like mosquito spray so... They love surfing for all the right reasons, and that's my favorite thing about our sessions together. I have a total of four surf students now and they all make surfing better.
One of the reasons a person with a lot of time on their hands might discover the words "winter is my favorite time to surf" written in my journals every year is because we've had a fun North West swell every weekend lately. I've been riding my 5'6" squash tail since we went to Tahiti and I feel like we're in just the right sync together. Of course, that's exactly when I think it's time to switch it up with boards, but I have a feeling life is about force me into that decision anyways. Sprout is still small; the size of a heirloom tomato, my app says, but I've been looking into other board options for the remainder of this pregnancy that I'll share soon.
I mentioned the other day that Scott and I got some bookshelves at the thrift shop. One is for the room we are trying to make for Sprout and the one pictured above is currently in a corner of our main living area. The thing is, I can't deicide if I like it. I stare at it periodically throughout the day wondering how I accumulated so many orange and black books, trying to picture it painted white or with a pallet wood backing and worrying that I'm killing the feng shui I'm not sure the room ever had.
I've re-organized all the books three times now. I think I'm going to just have to paint it white so I can stop wondering if it'd be better that way. Do you have any advice on organizing bookshelves? What do you think about painting this one a glossy white? Scott is going to make cabinet doors for the bottom shelf and those aquamarine, quartz looking rock things in the picture above will be the handles (I got them at anthropologie). We also got that little wave coatrack for Sprout for 6 bucks. I think it'll stay just as it is.
I made a new winter playlist (below) that has been the background sound for all of these projects and random thoughts. The middle of the playlist it's pretty pop-ish and upbeat to make cloudy days seem more like a special occasion. I also picture this playlist being good to listen to while road tripping or snowboarding.
And then there's the picture of Dragon, Minky and Dolly sitting at the end of the bed and enjoying a life that may go on forever. I look at them now and think--How does one say to a small child, "These toys are Mommy's"?

Hi everyone!
I'm planning to be in Buenos Aires from 13th of September. I will be there for 3 weeks business trip and I won't have much free time. But I'm eager to see and to try as much as possible. What can you advise for that?
I expect that I will have 1-2 days weekends 2 or 3 times so I rather intend to travel by local air than by buses. For example how much it will be to travel to Iguazu if not booking in advance? What other destinations could you recommend?
And what to see in Buenos Aires except the main attractions I could find in guides? Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
The other question is about the weather - here in Europe we have the very strange year... So what about Argentina? What to wear there in september?

Reader Erik Greene shares the results of many hours of head scratching over how to deal with Excel from VB.
I recently finished a project in which I had to dump information out to an EXCEL spreadsheet. I ran into 2 problems that I thought I would share the solutions for.
* First, I had to figure out a way to change to a different worksheet.
* Second I had a difficult time saving and closing the EXCEL session after I had updated the file.
These are the solutions I came up with. Take a look at these before spending the hours it took me to figure it out.

Giancarlo Fisichella answers questions ahead of his final race for Sauber Q: The Brazilian GP will be your last race for Sauber Petronas, what are your feelings? Giancarlo Fisichella. Photo by Brousseau Photo. Giancarlo Fisichella:...
Giancarlo Fisichella answers questions ahead of his final race for Sauber
Q: The Brazilian GP will be your last race for Sauber Petronas, what are your feelings?
Giancarlo Fisichella: It's been a very good year for me. There is a very good feeling with all the guys, from the mechanics and the engineers, to the guys who work in the kitchen. It's going to be a special race for me, first of all because I won in Brazil last year, and then it's the last race of the year and my last with Team Sauber Petronas. I am looking forward to it, obviously, but I will be really sorry to leave this team. But that's life, that's Formula One.
Q: How did the season go from your perspective? Did the results meet your expectations?
GF: In the races the car was very competitive, really good. It was consistent. We struggled a little bit in the qualifying sessions to get the best out of the tyres, apart from the last races when Bridgestone brought a new construction. That really helped. We were able to score good points, and to be competitive, which is what I had hoped for when I joined the team.
Q: What was your best race of the season?
GF: My best result was fourth in Canada, which was my most satisfying race. I wasn't quite last getting off the startline, but I had a problem with the anti-stall device and lost lots of positions before fighting back to finish fourth. Even Silverstone did not start off as one of the best; I started last on the grid and finished in sixth position. I had a problem in the pit stop and lost one position against Montoya. However, the pace was very, very competitive, and we did well. They were satisfying races because I was able to drive so hard and finish strongly despite these problems.
Q: How does the Sauber Petronas C23 from the end of the season compare with the one you started in Melbourne?
GF: It was a big, big improvement. We made some big steps forward. For the first three races the car was not quick enough. We had to learn how to make it work, the team and me. Then from Imola they really started to do a fantastic job as the wind tunnel at Hinwil became operational. With each race there were new aerodynamic components on the car, and we got quicker and quicker. The best part was the new bodywork at Silverstone, that was an especially big step forward. All through the year the team did very well.
Q: How would you describe Sauber Petronas as a team?
GF: It is a very, very good team. Considering that it is a private team, they did a fantastic job this year. They did good development, and the wind tunnel at Hinwil in which they invested so much really paid dividends. The atmosphere in the team is one of the best I have ever known. I worked with Minardi, Benetton and Jordan and in all of them it was very nice, but here there is less pressure. The feeling with the mechanics is fantastic. They really believe in me. The job I did this year was very good and we did some very good races, and I think as a result of all this that 2004 has been one of the best-ever seasons for Sauber Petronas and one of the most enjoyable for me.
Q: It's been a remarkable season for you, and the performance of the car has helped you to rejuvenate your career.
GF: Absolutely! That has been very gratifying. The best result for me this year was fourth, which may not be impressive compared to some, but all the paddock knows that Sauber Petronas is not a works team with unlimited resources. And in a few of the races, for example, I started from the back and finished in the points. These were very impressive results, and this is one of the reasons why teams like BMW-Williams and Renault wanted me for next year. That is all thanks to the car that Sauber Petronas gave me.
Q: What is your goal for the final Grand Prix of the season?
GF: Obviously it would be nice to repeat last year's result! But realistically we are able to score points and I would really love to finish my time with Peter Sauber's team by getting on to the podium. It would be a fitting way to say thank you for a great season.

Ob-Gyn questions? Ask a gynecologist online.
Hello, and I am pleased to help, use of my answers are for educational purposes only.
Well with the Vagifem this is an estrogen that does not get that absorbed and using this ONLY twice per week is safe and you really do not need to worry about uterine cancer or polyps with this Estrogen
Also, you can use an Over the counter vaginal Moisturizer called Replens that works
And, a good pH probioitic I like is RepHresh.
And, also for lubrication - Body massage oil with vitamin E also works
I hope this helps
So your doctor is correct that Vagifem will affect the Uterus Less than Estrace or Premain
Please click on EXCELLENT Service
thank you
Thank you for your quick response. It sounds like you would advise to continue with the vagifem. Is that correct? Also, you mentioned estrace and premarin, but I had used estriol cream which is compounded by womens international pharmacy. What is your experience with estriol versus estradiol preparations? Also, do you recommend repHresh over Luvena?
Thank you. I will try using RepHresh along with the vagifem to possibly limit vagifem use to once a week.
Any brand recommendations for the vit E cream?

The Go Pro is the most versatile camera in the world and is becoming more and more popular when it comes to making mobile films.
A lot of films that were submitted for our Social technologies class were filmed using Go Pro's including 2 featuring myself and the rest of the Alpe D'huez Crew tearing up the slopes over Christmas.
Apart from my up front lying about my skiing skills, the footage filmed was amazing quality and shows that any environment looks beautiful on a Go Pro.
The Go Pro channel on YouTube is great example of this and I have put some of my favourite films into a playlist. I urge you to watch all the way through. The phrase "What have you done today?" comes to mind after a couple of these!
Thanks to all the crazy, inspiring people who filmed these videos!

Hairy Stuff: Local Girl Vying to Be America's Next Top Model Is the Pits
Cleared out the TiVo last night after watching American Idol for DC9 and realized I just haven't been watching enough of the CW of late. I had totally missed that the 14th cycle of America's Next Top Model was set to premiere. And that, Friends, is unheard of in my reality-recapping world.
So ...
Long story short: Tyra Banks and her posse narrow down the list of wannabes from 49,308 to 12 in Los Angeles, with the top dozen making the trip to New York, where they'd meet Lucky Number 13. Weird. Whatever. Doesn't matter. What does? The 13th model was none other than 22-year-old Ren Vokes from Grand Prairie, though she was ID'd as a Dallas girl.
"I'm a free spirit that can't be caged," she said. Looks a bit like early Winona Ryder sporting Pete Doherty's wardrobe, until hair magician Sally Hershberger did her thing and gave her a funky fringe, which, turned out, was the first haircut Ren received from someone other than herself in seven years.

But you know which hair she doesn't cut? No, silly. Her armpit hair.
"Did you come to a modeling competition with an armpit full of hair?!" screamed celeb stylist and Tyra henchman Jay Manuel.
"I don't shave my armpits, like, regularly, because, both health and women's rights," said Rena. Miss Jay, who holds the world's greatest job description (runway coach), did it for her -- first with scissors, then with a razor.
And everyone was shocked, shocked! Alexandra, a model from Kerrville, even wondered, "I wonder what, like, the downstairs is gonna be like, you know, if she doesn't shave her armpits." Fair question. But her guess that Ren's Mother Earth vibe and tattoos are gonna hold her back are complete BS, because she didn't have to make the cut -- she was hand-picked. And, her first photo seriously rocked.
Below, Ren discusses falling into life with the other girls:

In Greek mythology, Memphis (Ancient Greek: Μέμφις) was the female eponym of Memphis in Egypt. The name was attributed to several distinct characters, namely:
- Memphis, daughter of Nilus, accordingly a Naiad Nymph. She was the wife to Epaphus and mother of Libya and Anippe or Lysianassa. She and her husband were the legendary founders of Memphis, which bears her name.[1]
- Memphis, one of the many consorts of Danaus, mother of the Danaids Chrysippe, Sthenele and Cleite.[2]
- Memphis, daughter of the Egyptian king Uchoreus, who was said to have founded the city and named it after her, and mother by Neilus of Aegyptus, the eponym of Egypt (apparently distinct from Aegyptus, brother of Danaus).[3]

Samsung Wave, the company did two low-end handsets with the bada OS - the Wave 2, and the Wave 2 Pro with a QWERTY keyboard. Both phones carried a 3.2" LCD screen, and a 3MP camera.Samsung just announced that Wave 723 - the fourth phone that will carry its own open mobile OS bada - will be available first in Germany starting next month. After the pilot
The new Wave 723 steps things up from those with an LCD screen of the same 3.2" size, but a back cover made of metal, Wi-Fi, and a 5MP camera with LED flash. An interesting design take is the screen cover which is made of leather, and is attached to the bottom of the phone. We'll leave you to decide how comfortable this one will be, but the phone is fairly thin - just 0.46 " (11.8mm) - and we guess that's without the flap.
On the software side, the Wave 723 will be sporting Samsung's Social Hub SNS integration with Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. Apart from that, the phone will be able to access Samsung Apps, featuring "a wealth of games, navigation, social networking, e-book, health and lifestyle applications". The Wave 723 is developed on the bada SDK 1.1, which supports the Auto-UI scaling feature - in other words, applications for the original Wave can be easily ported to the Wave 723 as well.
After the German launch, the Samsung Wave 723 (aka GT-S7230E) is heading to the rest of Europe, as well as Southeast Asia, Middle East and Africa. According to the WSJ, the phone is not coming to the US, as the carriers are not willing to deal with another smartphone OS, and will sell for around 240 EUR ($306).

Ivorian singer, Dj Arafat, showed his evil side while performing at a show recently.
While performing, a fan jumped on stage to give the artiste a hug but was in the process slammed on the floor and kicked in the head. The wicked act did not stop there, as his goons proceeded to push the guy off the stage.
A lot of people who saw the video and witnessed the event blasted the artiste, calling him several names, an act he was not in the least cool with. This prompted him to try and defend his action saying the fan who jumped on stage insulted his mother.

I think it's Miss understanding
That was an assault on the part of the fan he didn't just hug the artist but put his weight on him. I understand the artist perspective but he should have addressed it in a decent manner.
so wicked is it a crime for your fans to show you love
Sharap,her u guys not hearing he insulted his mother!
Lmao….the time was too short for the fan to have insulted his mother… He just lying to try and ease the whole stuff….that was really really horrible of him ….eew

AUSTIN, Texas -- The No. 25 Texas Longhorns continued their hot hitting to take a 6-1 lead after four innings and coasted to a 9-2 win over the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Tuesday.
Coming off a season-high 19 hits in Saturday's 14-3 win at Texas Tech, the Longhorns registered 12 hits through the first four innings to take a 6-1 lead. Erich Weiss went 3-for-4 with one run, one double, one hit-by-pitch and three RBI to lead the Texas offense. Mark Payton went 2-for-4 with a sacrifice bunt and three RBI. Taylor Stell went 2-for-3 with two runs, one walk, one double and one sacrifice bunt. Jonathan Walsh and Alex Silver each added two RBI. Silver extended his team-long hit streak to 16 games.
The Longhorns pounced on the Islanders early with a run in the bottom of the first inning. Payton hit a leadoff single up the middle to extend his streak of games reaching base to 31, including all 30 games of 2012. Payton advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Stell and scored when Weiss laced a single into the gap in left centerfield to stake the Horns to a 1-0 lead.
Texas (18-12) pushed to 3-0 with two runs in the bottom of the third inning. Stell doubled down the leftfield line to start the frame and moved to third on a single to rightfield by Weiss. A fielder's choice grounder put Walsh on third and Silver followed with a single to center to drive in Stell. With two outs, Walsh scored on a single to leftfield by Jordan Etier to give Texas the three-run lead.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (13-19) shaved a run off the lead with three infield singles off Texas reliever John Curtiss in the top of the fourth. The Islanders' Eric Weiss hit a leadoff single down the third base line to start the frame and moved to second on a groundout by Jonathan Gonzales. With two outs, Jordan Lee singled to third base to put runners on the corners. Jeramie Marek followed with a dribbler down the third base line that Curtiss mistakenly picked up rather than allowing it to roll foul and Weiss scored on the single to cut the lead to 3-1.
Texas put up a big inning in the bottom of the fourth. With one out, Payton reached on a bunt single. On a balk call by the umpire, Stell hit a slow roller to third base. The Islanders appeared to think it was a dead ball, but Stell continued to first base for the single, putting two runners on. Erich Weiss doubled to left field to knock in Payton and Walsh followed with a single to right field to score a pair and Texas took a 6-1 lead.
The Islanders would add a run before the Longhorns registered three runs without a hit in the eighth inning to increase the lead to 9-2.
Dillon Peters (2-0) worked 3.0 scoreless innings, retiring nine of the 10 batters he faced, allowing one hit while striking out three to earn the win. Parker French tallied two scoreless innings with one walk and one hit batter. Milner entered the game with the tying run on deck with no outs in the top of the eighth and retired all six batters he faced, including three via strikeouts to earn his first save of the season.

Now that my son is 12 months old, I can admit something that I would never have fathomed admitting to anyone. When I first saw him, of course, I loved him instantly with that unconditional love a mother feels. But, to put it bluntly, for the first year of his life I just didn't feel bonded to him. This was shocking to me because I wanted another baby to the point of obsession.
I have no answers to why I didn't feel bonded to my son, as I did to my daughter, who I immediately bonded with and who always loved to hug, cuddle, sleep beside me, kiss me, etc. While my children do share some of the same personality traits – they are both sweet, funny, and seemingly always happy – I just wasn't getting the same vibe from my son as I got from my daughter.
I worried about this. A lot.
One of the reasons I think that I didn't feel entirely bonded to my son is that he just loved to move around so much. He was holding his head by two weeks, he was holding his bottle by four months, and he was walking by 11 months. He never sits still long enough for me to cuddle him, aside for the first couple weeks of his life when I swaddled him and he couldn't move. Those few days were pure bliss.
Let me be clear. I know my son loves me, even though he can't say the words. He never cries when I carry him, he's more than happy to play toy cars with me for hours, he loves coming out with me. But the damn meatloaf was NOT into cuddling. Picture your partner not cuddling you for a year, and that's what my son's first year felt like. I'm telling the absolute truth when I say I would actually COUNT the seconds my son would rest his head on my shoulder. The highest number I reached was number nine before he was off of me, like a dog who just heard the doorbell ring.
I did admit my feelings to two people. One was my fiancé, who when my son would rest on my fiancé's chest, actually made it to the count of 12 seconds. So, at least it wasn't just me. But my fiancé didn't seem at all worried about this. If my son was not related to me, and about 30 years older, and I was dating him, I probably would dump his butt, because there was some connection that was missing. I would think that the relationship was going nowhere. Or because I wanted MORE out of the relationship, which he clearly was not giving me (The hugs! The hugs!)
I suffered from PPD with my daughter so I know what THAT feels like, and this time around, it was definitely not PPD. No, my son is just not a hugger and didn't like to cuddle and it really hurt my maternal feelings. I also admitted this, finally, after 10 months to my best friend, saying I just didn't feel as bonded to my son as I did my daughter when she was a baby.
"Oh, don't worry. My friend has two sons and she felt the same way about her second," she said.
So, obviously, there ARE people out there, who worry like me, that we don't feel that bond with our infants that I always assumed every mother and child automatically felt.
My fiancé also told me to not worry, reassuring me every time I would say, "Oh, I just got my eight SECONDS of cuddle time." He remembers his two children not being big into cuddling either when they were infants. It wasn't until later, when they learned to walk and talk, that they became huge into cuddling.
With my daughter, I swear I was in UTOPIA every time she fell asleep on me, or wrapped her arms around my neck, which was ALWAYS. My son does fall asleep on me when I give him his bottle at night but all I could think was, "But that's because he's tired."
I love my son. When I look at him, I can almost feel my heart cracking in half because I love him so much. So I just didn't get why I didn't feel bonded to him, because aren't ALL mothers supposed to feel this incomparable relationship with their own child? And, of course, people don't talk about this.
But then something wonderful happened. My son, at 13 months, started reaching out for me whenever someone else tried to hold him. If I propped pillows on my bed right, he would actually last almost half an hour, just lying beside me. He now nuzzles and rests his head on my shoulder and wraps his arms around my neck for minutes as opposed to seconds. So maybe it's true that some babies just ARE NOT into cuddling, which results in us mothers questioning WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?
Just like I wish more married couples would just TELL me how they make their marriage work, or openly admit that they have regrets about marrying the wrong person, I wish more mothers would just SPEAK up and say, "Don't worry. My infant was not into cuddling either, except with his toy truck. It doesn't mean he loves you any less."
I, too, am part of this problem. I didn't admit that I didn't feel bonded to my child for an entire year, until now, when I finally do.

The use of the words "without prejudice" does not automatically prevent a communication from being used in court. If the rule is applied incorrectly, communications that were never supposed to see the light of day could end up before the Judge.
What is the "without prejudice" rule?
It prevents a genuine attempt at settlement from being put before a court or used as evidence against the party who made it and it can apply to oral and written communications.
What is the legal rationale behind the rule?
Settlement negotiations have a greater chance of success if parties are able to speak freely and make compromises without harming their legal position should the negotiations fail. The rule is intended to encourage parties to settle their disputes commercially without recourse to court proceedings which involve costs and business disruption.
Substance of communication is key
Correspondence is not automatically protected simply because it is marked "without prejudice". Conversely, forgetting to label a document "without prejudice" will not prevent it from being "without prejudice".
The test:
1. There must be a dispute between the parties; and
2. There must be a genuine attempt to settle the dispute.
Marking documents without prejudice, when they satisfy the test, will avoid debates at a later date over whether the document can be produced in court.
Be aware of when the "without prejudice" rule does NOT apply
Exceptions to the rule:
1. Ordinary commercial negotiations - The without prejudice rule is not applicable to ordinary commercial negotiations (there needs to be a pre-existing dispute you are negotiating to resolve).
2. Concluded settlement agreement – "without prejudice" material is admissible in court to prove whether the parties agreed terms of settlement. So, for example, A makes a "without prejudice" offer of settlement to B. B accepts that offer but later changes his mind. A may produce the "without prejudice" correspondence to the court as evidence that a binding agreement was actually reached.
3. Misrepresentation, fraud or undue influence – "without prejudice" material may be produced to show that an agreement concluded between the parties should be set aside on grounds of misrepresentation, fraud or undue influence.
4. Delay – evidence of the fact of "without prejudice" negotiations (but not the content) may be given in order to explain delay or acquiescence in steps in the formal litigation.
5. "Without prejudice save as to costs" – where correspondence is marked in this way, then "without prejudice" offers may be put before the court when deciding the question of costs after the conclusion of the main trial (i.e. once the main dispute is resolved).
6. Waiver – Both parties can agree to a "without prejudice" document being put before the court, and the whole of that document, including any admissions in it, can be considered by the court.
Practical tips
• Mark correspondence correctly. If you are not communicating to make a genuine attempt at settlement, the rule will not apply. If you are unsure, carefully consider the content of your letter – ask yourself: would you mind if this communication was placed before the court?
• Has your opponent understood the "without prejudice" rule? If your opponent has marked correspondence "without prejudice" basis, but you do not believe it is, flag this up with your opponent. This will put your opponent on the back foot.
• Use open correspondence alongside "without prejudice" correspondence. It can be tactically advantageous to write "open" letters alongside "without prejudice" offers to increase pressure on your opponent to settle.
• "Without prejudice save as to costs". Marking correspondence in this way increases pressure on your opponent to settle if they are concerned about the costs consequences of litigation (which most people are).
• If in doubt, get legal advice.

Hand painted porcelain expresses the emotional connection between the artist and subject. This gorgeous oval serving bowl shows the artist's passion and understanding of beautiful floral arrangements and presentation. Executed in a small home-studio environment, dated 1913, by A. (Alice) Basedow. I have other lovely pieces executed by this artist in my store. The bowl is painted on a Favorite Bavaria white-ware blank, circa early 1900's..
The bowl presents a combination floral motif which forms a wide border around the piece. The outer gently scalloped edge is enhanced with a gold band. The three different floral consists of Wild Roses in vivid pink with deep golden centers and white stamens; White Daisies with deep golden centers and Forget-Me-Not in striking shades of deep to lighter blue. All of the different floral are nestled in foliage of shaded greens, browns and blue-green against a background of muted splashes of pastel blue, pink and blue-green.l The oval serving bowl measures10 3/4" in length, 8 3/8" across and 1 3/4" in depth with no cracks, chips or repairs; near mint. Beautiful.

The assessments are reading proficiency exams equivalent to a final exam in a 602 course. Principally, the exams include the translation of a prescribed general interest text and a section focused on reading comprehension skills.
Assessments are automatically offered in French, German, Italian, Latin and Spanish. The Graduate School will work to make accommodations for other foreign languages upon request, but cannot guarantee availability.
Assessment Schedule
The Foreign Language Proficiency Assessments are offered once a semester, typically in November and April. The next FLPA Exam schedule is as follows:

TNT Curse? Phoenix Suns Blow 13-Point Fourth-Quarter Lead and Lose to Utah Jazz. Next Up: Indiana Pacers Here on Saturday
Maybe it was that cursed TNT curse? Phoenix has won just one of the last 16 games when playing on the network that employs Charles Barkley.
Because, based on 3 1/2 quarters of dominant play, we certainly thought the Purple & Oranage Gang would prevail.
But it wasn't to be, even after Barkley praised Coach Alvin Gentry during TNT's Suns-Jazz halftime show for ending the "girlie" era of run-and-shoot Phoenix basketball and emphasizing defense and rebounding.
The Suns were up by 13 points mid-way in the fourth period at US Airways Center when the Utah Jazz made their run. Utah got its first lead in the last minutes of the game, and went on to win 116-108.

The 39-22 Jazz solidified their hold on fourth place in the NBA's Western Conference with the victory against Phoenix, still in fifth place at 39-25.
The Suns led by an average of 10 points for most of the night, but the Jazz hung within striking distance and poured it on in crunch time.
The stars for the Jazz were center/forward Mehmet Okur, who had 24 points, including two clutch three-pointers late; power forward Carlos Boozer, who killed the Suns in the paint, especially in the closing minutes, with 15 points and 15 rebounds; and burly point guard Deron Williams, with nine assists, 27 points, and five of nine threes.
Amar'e Stoudemire continued to play well for the Suns, with 30 points and seven rebounds, and Steve Nash turned in his usual solid effort, with 14 points and 15 assists.
But it was 37-year-old Grant Hill who stood out for Phoenix. Playing point guard when Nash was on the bench (backup Goran Dragic turned his ankle in Wednesday night's blowout win against the Los Angeles Clippers and sat out the game), Hill scored 17 points and played shut-down defense all game. He even dunked for the first time (by his own admission) since the late '90s.
But despite shooting 58 percent from the field to Utah's 45 percent, the Suns didn't have enough gas in the tank, after playing the night before in L.A.
The Jazz ultimately won the game by committing fewer turnovers, 11 to Phoenix's 18; pulling down more offensive boards, 19 to the Suns' 10; and hitting 28 of 38 free throws to Phoenix's 19 of 28.
It also helped Utah that the Suns' much-improved defense went to hell in the final period, giving up 41 points in that single quarter.
On the bright side, it was just the Suns' eighth home loss of the season, compared to 23 wins in the Purple Palace.
Next up: the Indiana Pacers here on Saturday. Indiana is the second-worst team in the Eastern Conference at 20-41, which means the current Suns should have no problem with them. The Pacers are led by forward Danny Granger, who had 30 points in a 102-79 loss to the Portland Trailblazers Wednesday night. Tip-off's at 7 p.m. TV: Fox Sports Net. Radio: KTAR 620 AM.

Aka, me writing resident evil plot with alternate scenario with people from the chat in it. 'Kay? This is based on the movie cause like, they are easier to stream on internet than the games. So like, I'll randomly pick people that goes on chat. Btw, I'm writing this all based on my (shit) memory.&nthehungergames.wikia.com
"I'm going to spread an amnesia gas through the lab, 'kay? So don't whine like a little bitch if you don't remember what you were supposed to do. I'm doing my job."
A young girl voice resonate through the central wiki office is located. A slight panic spread through the workers, one of thoses being an evil spy who already spread an evil bacterial weapon who causes wiki user to turn into trolls. Slow moving, pretty much the dumbest thing ever, not reacting to much thing and they spread like crazy. Like by biting somebody or something. You know, zombies but on the internet. So, Beckah, the crazed red queen, was casually doing her job. Sealing all the issues so that no evil spy can escape, but it was too late. Several employees were already infected by the virus T, without their knowledge, by being too close to them. Beckah went to casual!queen to murderous!queen, she simply started to flooding labs and spreading a stronger version of the virus.
She failed her job. So she decided to have fun.
The Badass Girl
Dani didn't remembered anything. Just taking the shower and then, it's a complete void. A cute red dress lays on the side of the chair placed strategically beside her shower. Wait, what? She doesn't own a shower, she only has a bath since she hates shower because they are ugly. Mysterious.
The badass chick stumbled toward the chair, put on the dress and straighten herself up. Where's she? She doesn't remember anything, but random trivial fact about her life. Mostly because this is her life, but nothing else. She heads out of the bathroom and a young man was standing there in the pale moonlight. He looked at her and point his gun toward her head when a strong muscular arm throws him aside. A full comando of at least seven people, but only four will be named because who cares about the others.
"Oh, look at the cute "couple" ," said the girl with blond hair, "Should we tell them?"
"Rain, it's our job," said the man who threw the other Callam aside, "We need them to reach the central wiki facility"
Callam tried to take his gun when a kick of Rain send it flying through the window, which is pretty badass. A name tag was written on the vest of the man who was pretty badass: Connor. The buffed one. She was about to talk to them when the man opened his mouth,
"We got to tell you something"
The Manly Spouse
Callam listened to Connor's voice, explainning to them several things about their life. Like the fact that him and Dani were just married as a cover up because they were doing sockpuppetting for the wiki central, and for an unknown reason, the facility was sealed off the world. Callam almost killed his fake spouse, too bad. She was mostly just an emo who wield a cool title. Pretty much the normal wiki user employed by the central.
He discovers their names, but the ones of four of them. Rain, Buffed!Connor, Eli and Oli. All parts of some weird association of people who kinda dislike each other but stuck to work together. Pretty like any work project at school. They were a commando. Employed by the leader of the central wiki to find out what happened in their facility. And they needed them to find Dani and Callam, two sockpuppeter and Sannse, a leader in their research.
When the trio was found, with Sannse found casually eating all the food of the fake couple, they decided to head toward the facility. Which seems like a normal recluse underground building, but no, it's actually a skyscrapper. Several boring and useless conversation later, which involved them making friends and other bullshit, they arrived at the said location where Beckah waited for them.
The Blond Mod
The second the young mod stepped off the train, something clicked in her brain. The entrance was sealed off, how could she enter it then? And that's where the she comes in play. To enter the building, they needed to pass through a long hallway, also used to reach for the brain of the facility, the Red Queen. The train did the job to pass several level for them, now she needs to do her job to pass through that one door.
Beside the glass door, there's was a computer. Rain used her magical password to open her account on the wikis. She quickly goes on chat and have a long conversation about how it is fun to crack door opens but she's procrastinates it too much with her internet buddies. She forces herself to delete some random files, to be able to download her favorite movie, which revealed to be the files letting the electric signals to pass by, opening the doors. As she sat down, watching Mean Girls, her fellow red shirts buddies entered the glass hallway.
They soon struggle to open the second door, which needed Rain to download Legal Blond, but she was either too lazy or too concentrated on her movie. Meanwhile, the Red Queen was pissed. Somebody deleted her files, which she needed to make her computer work. She reinstalled the patch and sealed the doors off. Which lead to a badass scene with lasers that can be seen on youtube.
A Clever Programmer
After a long time moving around the hive and since like this fiction is written only based of my memories of the first movie, I just remember that one scene where Dani pull off some badass fighting moves and beat the shit of troll dogs. But like, since Rain fucked up and didn't download Legal Blonds, she kinda unleashed hell on earth and they are getting chased down by some trolls fucker. And Eli died after a long monologue about how christinanity will save their life or whatever bullshit you can say when you are getting tored apart by a herd of ugly losers.
Oh and by the fucking way, Rain is bitten so like, plot plot plot.
Sannse stumbled around the complex, to find her brother, who worked there for whatever reasons. I don't know if she really has a bro, but who the fuck care. So like, her and Dani walked around the hive to find him.
Until they stumbled on his trollified ass, and that Sannse reMEMEbered that she was an environmental activist and like they were spies. So rad. Then it got fucking confusing in my head so I stopped before writing anymore bullshit about this shit movie.

As an MBA student, Ritesh Chutani immersed himself in real business experiences - lots of them. Through experience-based learning courses offered by Katz, he performed market analysis work in the nuclear power, health care, and technology fields, and traveled internationally, to Brazil and China, to bolster his research.
"That's the best part of coming to Katz. You get to work with companies and apply what you learned in class directly to the companies," says Chutani, who graduated in 2012 and immediately obtained a position in the consulting industry.
In a Consulting Field Project, Chutani and fellow Katz MBA students assessed Westinghouse Electric Co.'s potential for entering the nuclear power plant market in China. For his market research, Chutani traveled to China and interviewed leading companies. In another Consulting Field Project, Chutani performed market opportunity analysis on a creation by Advantech in Monroeville: electronic shelf labels for grocery stores. Chutani also completed a Global Business Project in São Paulo, Brazil, where he worked on a student team that found ways to increase GE Healthcare's market share in the public domain. At the conclusion of the project, he traveled to Brazil for several weeks, where he met with company officials and made a presentation to senior leadership.
"With my international project in Brazil, I learned how to speak Portuguese and worked with people from different countries. This gave me a totally different level of exposure than what I received in the classroom, or even my prior internships," Chutani says.
