As a kid I tanned every time I went outside. I got so tan I looked dirty. You could only see my teeth at night. I am south east Asian so it is natural to be tan. At 36 yrs of age I had a little spot on my collar bone area removed. Even with good tanning pigment it can happen. Now I always surf in a shirt or rubber. I also keep one of those Chapstick looking sun block sticks in my cup holder and a hat and rashgaurd or t shirt in the car.
I have a balled friend and his wife said it best ... "put a hat on, what do you want, to get PIZZA HEAD".

It does what its told! It takes the survey! It takes care of the skin so I can wear it

I don't use commercial sunscreen. it's too toxic and has been proven to cause cancer. yes you heard it. it causes cancer. i make my own from coconut oil, beeswax, and natural zinc oxide. it's way way cheaper to. plus i juice lots of veggies and aloe, so my body has built its own natural defense. don't buy into what all these companies claim. YOUR SUNSCREEN IS TOXIC!

Bullfrog surfers Gel - HAS to be the one with the orange cap - it's like wearing a flannel shirt. Lasts for hours.
Plus the spray for the back - and sad to say now, my head.

skin cancer is no joke. i have had too many family members and friends suffer from it. investing $20 in a bottle of watermen's is the way to go... the alternative is a disaster and it will keep you out of the lineup.....

I prefer Will Ferrell's "Forbidden Fruit." They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

If it's very hot then I use sunscreen sp 15 but rarely, you should use any good sunscreen to avoid skin damage and sun burns.

Gardeners' Notes:
On Feb 8, 2017, Artyann from Nottingham,
Have just seen that my Mariposa Autumn iris has big fat buds, about to flower and it is only 8 February! We are in the UK in the Midlands. Is this unusual? It was new to my garden last year and did not flower, even in the Autumn. Now it is showing very early, so I hope the weather doesn't turn too bad.
On May 19, 2007, TBGDN from (Zone 5a) wrote:
Although I give this iris a positive rating, it seems to rebloom late in the fall and consequently the blooms are frozen. This is the first spring bloom I've had in three years because of the late rebloom. With that said, it is a nice iris; and its parentage from Jesse's Song is readily seen. Colors are more pronounced in sunlight. The following information is from the AIS Check List database: "(Richard Tasco, R. 1999), Sdlg. 92-25-06-RE. TB, 32" (81 cm), EM & RE "S. rosy violet, white showing in center; style arms rosy violet, edges lemon yellow; F. white ground, rosy violet band; beards white base, hairs tipped violet at end, tipped gold in throat; lightly ruffled; slight sweet fragrance.

Lovely as it is - this may rebloom too well. It bloomed itself out (until it was all gone) for me.

BlueManager: Showing WP7 Some Bluetooth Love
One of the most fascinating things about XDA is how so many different operating systems and devices have a home here. Whether it's a fix for the latest Nexus phone or breathing new life into a Windows Mobile device the outside world has long since forgotten, the developers on our site are creators of innovation. Windows Phone 7 is one such operating system that has found a place among the forums.
Feature rich and possessing a unique user interface, WP7 is a love it or hate it operating system. Thankfully for those who love it, XDA Member navisluni brings us his latest application: BlueManager. Unlike Android where Bluetooth file transfer is a common feature, Windows Phone has not been so lucky. However, with BlueManager and an unlocked device, users can transfer pictures, music, and even contacts through Bluetooth with other WP7 or even Android devices. Simply pair, select your item, and send. It's really that simple.
So what are you waiting for? Head on over to the original thread and give this a go.

Incentives and nutrition for rotten kids: intrahousehold food allocation in the Philippines
Using data on individual consumption expenditures from a sample of farm households in the Philippines, we construct a direct test of the risk-sharing implications of the collective household model. We are able to contrast the efficient outcomes predicted by the collective household model with the outcomes we might expect in environments in which food consumption delivers not only utils, but also nutrients which affect future productivity. Finally, we are able to contrast each of these two models with a third, involving a hidden action problem within the household; in this case, the efficient provision of incentives implies that the consumption of each household member depends on their (stochastic) productivity. The efficiency conditions which characterize the within-household allocation of food under the collective household model are violated, as consumption shares respond to earnings shocks. If future productivity depends on current nutrition, then this can explain some but not all of the response, as it appears that the quality of current consumption depends on past earnings. This suggests that some actions taken by household members are private, giving rise to a moral hazard problem within the household.

By Paul Fraser
JUSTIN HOYTE has left Middlesbrough on a full-time basis after agreeing a contract to stay at Millwall until 2015.
The right-back has been on loan at The New Den since November and had been expected to finalise a permanent switch back to the capital.
And Middlesbrough have confirmed that Hoyte, a former Arsenal and Sunderland defender, will not be returning to the Riverside.
The former England Under-21 international joined Middlesbrough in the summer of 2008 and suffered relegation at the end of his his first season.

I've been looking for a really nice cribbage board for some time. I finally discovered Masters Traditional Games online who have a fantastic selection of traditional games available. Despite being a bit expensive for a purchase only based on a picture from a website, I decided to take a risk and order a gorgeous looking board from their website.
The cribbage board arrived the next day, packaged really well, and I am very very pleased - the pictures on the website really don't do it justice. I'll definitely be ordering from Masters again - as well as cribbage boards, they have some fantastic Backgammon and Mancala sets, which look perfect for gifts (both for myself and loved ones!).
Highly recommended.

I know what you are thinking.
Just chill.
I am going to explain the pictures: It starts out in a case! It was some APEX DM case and it was horrible. But that's what I get for 10 dollars I guess. I could not stand it so I ripped everything out and I kinda left it on the floor and moped for days. Then. Then it hit me. I have a box and I have access to a saw! So i tried cutting out ventilation, places where wires need to go, and just kept at it. It actually worked out better than I expected, but its still pretty weird. I believe this is a "PC" - Portable Computer.
Im not sure how its going to work in terms of heat, but everything else seems fine so far. I used an excess of Zebra Duct tape, as I could not find anything else. I have suspended the MB in mid air just for some safety. In addition, there is no DVD drive! I took one out of a computer upstairs and simply loaded the operating system and then removed it. Eh. Probably a stupid decision, but I'll figure it out.
I'm not sure what this computer is for. It has the A10 which is actually supposed to be pretty nice for gaming, so I will try that out. I do think this build has potential when it comes to aesthetics and actual mechanics to the case. It would be nice to try this again with some concept of what I'm doing instead of attacking a plastic box with a hot knife.
I'm excited to see comments.
Oh and that screwdriver in the last picture is to turn it on. Since there is... you know.. no case.

Shown here is a Great Grabz Horizon aquarium acrylic grab bar with satin chrome fixtures in a bathroom. A 2012 survey found about half of those ages 55 to 64 thought that bathroom aids, such as grab bars and shower seating, were "essential" or "desirable." That rose to nearly two-thirds among those age 65 and older.

Ghost Rider.
Doodled this out while watching one of my favorite Halloween flicks, Mel Brook's "Young Frankenstein".
Never had much use for GR, but the visual appeal of the character is pretty undeniable. I will say nothing about the Nicolas Cage movie. But then again, I really shouldn't have to, should I?

Cool sketch, Mike. I always thought he was a cool character, too, but never could get into his comics. I'd love to take a crack at him someday, though.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Mike! I've felt the same way. He'd probably be fun to draw, except for the part about drawing that monstrosity of a motorcycle in 150 panels every month. Gah!ReplyDelete
Hey, little boo boo. You said Mel GIBSON's Young Frankenstein. You mean Mel BROOKS. :pReplyDelete
Man that would've been a bad movie. Plus I have a feeling Mel Gibson and Mel Brooks wouldn't have gotten along great. In my defense, though, Young Frankenstein was on while I drew it, Mad Max was on while I was posting it!ReplyDelete
Wicked drawing, man!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Jason! Unexpectedly fun!ReplyDelete

Standing at the midnight release of FIFA 13, oh and a little add-on for World of Warcraft that has to do with pandas, I couldn't believe the number of gamers out to pick up EA's newest edition to their soccer franchise. May I remind you this was in the central part of the United States where soccer hasn't been a force until the past year or so. Nonetheless, it's apparent that soccer is growing immensely, which presents a fantastic opportunity for EA and FIFA 13. With all the stars aligned for a successful title, does FIFA 13 become the landmark sports title for EA? Read on and you'll undoubtedly find out. The FIFA franchise, throughout its lengthy tenure, has always found a way to introduce features that truly evolve the game. In the past five years... Read Review

One Ironhorse soldier goes the extra mile providing supplies necessary to keep the Army in motion and to care for soldiers.
Sgt. Amelia Bradley, an automated logistical specialist with Headquarters and Headquarters "Hammer" Troop, of the 1st "Ironhorse" Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, enlisted in the Army just two days after graduating high school.
Bradley has spent her entire 14 years of service as an automated logistical specialist at multiple duty stations including five deployments to Bosnia, Iraq, Haiti and Kuwait. Logistics and supply fall under the Quartermaster Corps which offers roughly a dozen military occupational specialties.
"If you're not someone who likes to help, has a spirit of hospitality, and likes to serve other people, then (this) might not be (the job) for you," Bradley said. "You have to love what you do."
Bradley's friend, Sgt. Diedra Marien, a unit supply specialist also with Hammer Troop, has worked with Bradley since 2011, believing she is the "total package" soldier.
"You're still a soldier 24/7, but there are other challenges (you) have to face outside of this suit," Marien said, referring to Bradley's commitments after hours.
Marien believes Bradley's balance of single motherhood, school, church work and career is challenging.
Bradley has gone out of her way to take care of soldiers on multiple occasions, Marien said. On Bradley's off time she has checked on and cared for an injured soldier after an accident and bought balloons for another soldier following surgery.
"(Bradley) won't be a forgotten (noncommissioned officer) because people know her to be true to what she does," Marien said. "I believe that she does work hard and it shows."
Marien said soldiers, including ones from previous units, have looked to Bradley for advice about work or life in general.
Marien believes Bradley's proficiency and knowledge of her job reveals she is passionate about her career.
"Knowledge is power," Marien said. "(Bradley) knows what she's doing."
Marien said when it comes to work, Bradley has a good attitude.
"I like being able to provide help and support to make sure that the overall mission is successful," Bradley said.
Bradley believes quartermasters are the backbone of the Army because every soldier needs supplies.
Soldiers deployed or training in the field drive military vehicles and every vehicle needs parts, Bradley said. Logisticians order the parts ensuring equipment is mission capable at all times.
"We supply (soldiers) with the necessary equipment to be able to roll out with no problems," Bradley said. At the end of the day, no mission would be successful without a quartermaster soldier.
Working in the receiving and storage section at Forward Operating Base Al-Qayyarah West, Iraq in 2005 was Bradley's most memorable time as a logistician. Her mission was to receive and ship supplies to nearby installations.
"We (weren't) just affecting just the unit where we were," Bradley said. "We were pretty much supporting units in the surrounding area as well."
Bradley added that her job plays a large role in affecting the Army as a whole.
"You have to love just knowing that you are a vital, important part to the mission," Bradley said. "I've had plenty of opportunities to reenlist and switch over to another (occupational specialty) but I like being a logistician."

French FM hopes tough diplomacy and sanctions to persuade Iran
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner warned in comments published on Sunday that Israel would strike Iran before it succeeding in developing nuclear weapons. "I honestly don't believe (a nuclear weapon) will give any immunity to Iran," Kouchner said in an interview conducted in English with Israel's Haaretz newspaper.
"First, because you will eat them before. And this is the danger. Israel has always said it will not wait for the bomb to be ready. I think that (the Iranians) know. Everyone knows."
According to AFP, Kouchner said he hoped tough diplomacy and sanctions would persuade Iran to halt its uranium enrichment programme. "Iran with an atomic bomb is unacceptable at all... Talking, talking talking, and offering dialogue, sanctions, sanctions, sanctions. Is the alternative to bomb first -- I think not."

Three of four Clarke County Board of Education incumbents up for re-election officially qualified to run again Monday, with Anne Cooper already facing three opponents for her District 6 seat.
In addition to Cooper, incumbents Sidney Anne Waters of District 8 and board President Svea Bogue of District 4 also qualified Monday.
In District 6, which includes most of western Clarke County, Cooper, 45, will run against Mark Rich, 78, the man she defeated for the post four years ago. Other District 6 candidates who qualified Monday are Lyndon Goodly, 40, and Michael Wegmann, 48.
The District 6 seat was the only contested school board race in 1996.
Qualifying continues through noon Friday at the Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections, Room 260 of the Clarke County Courthouse.
Candidates must be registered voters at least 21 years old and have lived for at least one year in the district where they are running. The qualifying fee is $108.
School board seats are non-partisan, meaning candidates' names will not appear on the July 18 primary election ballot. Voters of all parties can vote for their district seat Nov. 7. Board candidates need only win a simple majority, not at least 50 percent of the total votes cast in a given race.

NREL joins 3 ARPA-E AMPED projects to optimize electric vehicle battery management and controls
17 January 2013
The US Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has joined DOE and research partners in launching the Advanced Management and Protection of Energy Storage Devices (AMPED) program (earlier post).
Over the next three years, NREL engineers will work with teams led by Utah State University, Washington University, and Eaton Corporation to optimize utilization, life, and cost of lithium-ion batteries for electric-drive vehicles (EDVs) through improved battery management and controls. The three projects are funded under the AMPED program with more than $7.4 million from DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).
The ultimate goal of these projects is to make EDVs viable options for a larger and wider population of drivers. The projects for each team are:
Power Management of Large Battery Packs - Utah State University ($3 million). Objectives: Reduction in battery size, 20% longer battery pack lifetime or 20% reduction in battery pack energy content and 50% increase in cold temperature charge rate.
Researchers in NREL's Center for Transportation Technologies and Systems (CTTS) will work with the Utah State University team to develop electronic hardware and control software for an advanced plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) battery management system to maximize the lifetime of each cell in a battery pack. Other project partners include University of Colorado (Boulder and Colorado Springs) and the Ford Motor Company. Laboratory testing will take place at both NREL and Ford.
Battery Management System Design - Washington University ($2 million). Objective: 20% increase in utilization of untapped Li-ion battery capacity at the cell level.
The Washington University team will develop a predictive battery management system with innovative control hardware that uses advanced mathematical models to optimize battery performance. The system will project optimal charge and discharge of batteries in real-time, enhancing battery performance and improving battery safety, charge-rate, and usable power capacity. NREL's CTTS researchers will use the lab's battery multi-physics models to guide the design of the control algorithms and will demonstrate the capability of the algorithms through laboratory testing.
Predictive Battery Management for Hybrid Vehicles -Eaton Corporation ($2.4 million). Objective: 50% improvement in fuel economy of heavy-duty HEVs without sacrificing battery life.
Eaton Corporation will collaborate with NREL to develop a power control system to optimize the operation of commercial-scale hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), integrating NREL battery life predictive models with Eaton HEV control algorithms. The planned approach provides a cost-effective solution that reduces the size of the battery needed for operating large hybrid electric vehicles with no loss in battery life or vehicle performance. NREL will perform hardware-in-the-loop testing in its laboratories to demonstrate the new system.
ARPA-E's AMPED program is providing a total of $30 million in funding to 14 research projects. These projects focus on maximizing the potential of existing battery chemistries with innovations in battery management and storage to advance electric vehicle technologies and to help improve the efficiency and reliability of the electrical grid.
In addition to thermal evaluation and analysis, NREL's energy storage (ES) modeling, simulation and testing activities include battery safety assessment, advanced battery technologies, material synthesis and research, subsystem analysis, battery second use studies, and battery computer-aided engineering.

Bonnifield Questers, Penn Workers
Bonnifield Questers will have a salad dinner hosted by the William Coop Chapter at 6 p.m. Monday at The Oaks at Parkview Care Center.
Penn Workers 4-H'ers are very busy. They had a good turn out with leaders Kim Lacey and Penny Morgan getting ready for trunk or treat. Members who helped decorate the trailer that Everett Lacey took to the fairgrounds had a lot of fun. They were Kelly Lacey, Jade Knapp, Sophie Stratton and Jacob Morgan. The Penn Workers handed out two bushels of apples to lots of little trick-or-treaters Oct. 28.
Nov. 2, on a no-school day, the club all went to see the many clocks that John McLain had made by hand carving since he was 14 years old. Since 1954, he has carved more than 55 clocks, each one representing a part of his life. From the clock shop at Coal Port, the club went to Pizza Hut for pizza and pop. It was a good day for the club learning new things.
—Kelly Lacey, Penn Workers 4-H Club president


text: Hi all, can I do the following? I know I have pulse at the injectors but they're not firing=car not starting and the sparks plugs are bone dry. put compressed air where the fuel rail goes and place it in soapy water. Then twist the distributor back and for so I hear the click of that injector. That click should mean the injector is opening and should make bubbles, right? this is what richter say to do?

This is the last of the sample from Teavivre. I have tried it before, and of the two flowering teas sent I liked Two Dragons and a Pearl the most, so that is the one I ordered from them. This one is also good, and certainly very pretty and entertaining. The liquor is pale and the blossoms have deep color so it makes a very pretty show.
I made this in my 8 ounce Taiwan glass teapot from purepuer.com. Because It opened slowly, I let it steep for about four minutes. It was still weak at that point, so I should have rinsed or just discarded the first steep. As it is, I decided to combine steeps 1 and 2 for a medium body.
The flavor is slightly grassy, but I really taste the marigold, especially on the first steeps. If you don't like the smell of marigolds (my MIL hates them) you might not like this tea. If other blooming teas have been too weak for you, you might want to try this one.
Hubby hung in there for four steeps. I am still sipping and I think I am on number six. I am impressed with the flower colors. The first flowering tea I ever bought looked like stagnant ditch water in about five minutes. I half expected to see a minnow flit by. This is much, much better. Because I liked these two, I am toying with trying some of their other blooming teas as well, since I want to restock my dragon pearls and I want to try some more of their oolongs and I really REALLY need some more of their Chun Mee.

Obsidian Entertainment - Pitches New Star Wars Game - Interview @ RPS
Rock, Paper, Shotgun has an preview for an interview with Feargus Urquhart, the CEO for Obsidian Entertainment. In it tells RPS that:
"We pitched a between-Episode III and Episode IV game [to LucasArts]. Because we think that timeframe is super interesting. It's the fall of the Republic, the extermination of the Jedi, it's Obi-Wan going off and making sure Luke is OK. You have the Sith, but you have the extermination of all Force users except for very, very few. So it was an interesting time to set a game, and you know, Chris Avellone came up with a really cool story."......"We also latched onto it because it has elements people remember, but not the stories. It can just completely not involve [the movies]. It can tease them, but nothing else."
The preview blurb for the interview with Feargus Urquhart signs off on this note:
Keep an eye out for the full interview – about the future of RPGs, the PC, and a certain post-apocalyptic series that I guess a few people like – very soon.

Why Samsung's Curved Smartphone Display Isn't Just Hype
A new generation of curved displays for Smartphones and TVs has just been launched. While there have been curved screens around before, they were actually just flat displays with a curved cover glass on top. This time the displays themselves are actually curved and that makes a significant difference.

Winter Meetings an opportunity for Red Sox
ORLANDO, Fla. — Baseball's Winter Meetings are back at the Swan and Dolphin hotel complex at Disney World for the first time since 2010. It was here the Red Sox made their ill-fated seven-year, $142 million deal with Carl Crawford.
The Sox were kings that week, trading for Adrian Gonzalez and signing Crawford in a span of a few days.
Don't expect that kind of action this week.
The Red Sox have filled their primary needs by signing free agents Mike Napoli, A.J. Pierzynski and Edward Mujica. No matter what happens, the offseason has been a success.
At the moment, the lineup could be something like this:
Shane Victorino RF
Daniel Nava / Jonnny Gomes LF
Dustin Pedroia 2B
David Ortiz DH
Mike Napoli 1B
Xander Bogaerts SS
A.J. Pierzynski / David Ross C
Will Middlebrooks 3B
Jackie Bradley Jr. CF
That lineup, right now, is not as good as the group that finished last season. There's no real leadoff hitter, for instance. But taken as a whole, the Sox should score plenty of runs. Bogaerts will have a Manny Machado-like impact on the offense.
Pedroia, now that his left thumb has a working ligament, should be a more productive offensive player. Pierzynski will likely provide roughly the same production as Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Middlebrooks can't help but be better than he was last season.
The drop off will come in center field. But Bradley is better than his brief stints in the majors showed last season.
The Sox also have a strong rotation and bullpen. They'll send a solid starter to the mound every day and that is where success starts.
"I do think we go into the Winter Meetings in a position of strength, with a very strong roster and one that we feel good about going into the season if not much changes," Cherington said.
In a way, having a largely settled roster could create more work for Cherington and the baseball operations staff. Not having many specific needs will allow the Sox the freedom to be creative in the trade market and seek ways to improve a team they already feel is strong.
"I have a feeling it will be just as busy. The pace won't be any different. We'll just be talking about different kind of things," Cherington said. "When there's a clear need to fill, there's more of a linear process and we're focusing on certain things and trying to march down the field on certain things, a certain player or trade that fills that need.
"When you're not doing that kind of thing as much, it's a bigger universe so there's a lot of ideas floating around the room and a lot of conversation."
A few thoughts on where those conversations could go based on talks with sources from various teams, including the Red Sox:
• Making a big trade: The Sox have an extra starter, an extra catcher in Ryan Lavarnway and some solid prospects. It's enough to cobble together a deal.
The Dodgers have spoken to the Sox to gauge interest in outfielder Matt Kemp, a two-time All-Star. But there is ample reason for caution.
In the last 14 months, Kemp has twice had surgery on his left shoulder and once on his left ankle. He had a torn labrum repaired in Oct. of 2013 then a procedure on the AC joint a year later.
Kemp hit only six home runs in 263 at-bats last season and there is concern that the shoulder injury affected his mechanics and power, much in the same way it did Adrian Gonzalez.
Gonzalez has averaged 22 home runs in the three seasons since his shoulder surgery. He averaged 32 in the five years prior.
Kemp also has six years and $128 million remaining on his contract. The Dodgers would presumably pick up part of that in a trade, but the Red Sox have avoided long-term deals for two years now outside of Dustin Pedroia.
• Making a medium-sized trade: The Sox could deal from their depth and pick up a solid first base or outfield prospect, two areas where the farm system is a little deficient.
• Pick up an infielder: The Red Sox need a utility infielder, somebody who could back up at second, third and shortstop. Free agent Justin Turner would work. Maybe they will bring John McDonald back.
• Retaining Stephen Drew: In what has been a frenzied market for free agents, Drew's name has not come up much because of the draft-pick compensation attached to his price. If he is still searching for a team on Jan. 20, the Red Sox could be waiting. They would take him back on their terms and play Bogaerts at third base.
The Red Sox are willing to be patient with Drew because they can always simply play Bogaerts at shortstop and Middlebrooks at third.
It's important to note that the Sox are close to their payroll number of last season. Contracted raises, arbitration and a full year of Jake Peavy added to the payroll along with the free agents. Cherington also values having some money to be flexible for in-season additions.
So don't expect the Red Sox to be in play for a prominent free agent like Shin-Soo Choo. Such a move would require some roster manipulation.
No matters what happens, we'll have coverage from the Meetings all week here on Extra Bases and in the Globe.

By Rick Shimmel, Citizens for Retirement Security
Proponents of a ballot measure to undermine retirement security for Ventura County employees are proposing to switch new workers to a 401(k) plan. As this report from Alaska points out, that's exactly what has gotten that state into deep fiscal trouble – enough to get a Republican lawmaker to label the move "a mistake."
As reported in the Alaska Dispatch (4/11/14), "Legislators struggling to find ways to pay off the $12 billion in unfunded pension liability threatening to overwhelm state budgets for years to come are trying to finger who is responsible and where the blame lies."
Representative Mike Hawker, R-Anchorage, said, "I very much was concerned when we closed our retirement systems and went to a defined contribution that by closing those systems we were going to find ourselves in the position we are in today, which was ultimately having to step in with a significant financial bailout."
"That switch was a mistake," said Hawker.
The AP reported in 2006 that Alaska's unfunded liability on its prior defined benefit pension plan was between $5.7B and $6.2B. That's when the state made the switch to a new defined contribution, 401(k) style plan for all new employees. "We think this change will stop the so-called bleeding," said then-Gov. Frank Murkowski.
The unfunded liability is now estimated at $11.9 billion.
"I really think we could have worked through this and not been in such dire circumstances if we hadn't made that decision then [to switch plans]," said Hawker, as new employees no longer help pay into the underfunded plans.

Background: Font color:
Would you stand up and walk out on me?"
"Dare I ask what's going on?" Harry finally asked after nearly thirty minutes of silence.
"No." Ron and Hermione answered in unison.
"OK then…" Harry said quietly, and went back to staring out the window.
"I'm sorry Harry." Hermione whispered a moment later. "It's not your fault."
Harry cocked his head, "What's not my fault?"
Hermione sighed, "Nevermind. So what are your plans for the holidays?"
Harry laughed. "Plans? Seriously? I plan to be in my room hiding from whatever company my aunt and uncle have invited over."
"That's no way to spend Christmas." She said sadly.
"Trust me." Harry told her, "It's better that way."
"You're probably right." Hermione agreed, "I just hate to see you alone for the holidays."
"It's just one Christmas, and I'll be with you all at The Burrow for New Years." Harry assured her.
"By next week we're going to be wishing we were alone for Christmas." Ginny commented with a groan. "I can't believe Fred and George couldn't even find a way out of this."
"I know." Ron agreed, "I thought for sure they would weasel their way out. There's still time I guess. Maybe if we're really nice to them they'll take us with them."
"Keep dreaming Ron. We're all going to be at Aunt Gertrude's for Christmas whether we like it or not." Ginny shuddered, "I can all ready taste her horrible fruitcake."
Harry took her hand, "Just keep telling yourself it's less than two weeks. Ten days and we'll all be back at The Burrow. You'll make it."
"Ten days." Ginny let out a breath, "Ten days isn't that long. I can make ten days."
Harry smiled as Ginny scooted under his arm. The tension in the cabin was dissipating and he could feel himself breathing easier. But even though he tried to ignore it, Harry couldn't help seeing Hermione cringe when he wrapped his arm around Ginny.
It had been coming on for a while, Harry knew it. He had noticed the changes months ago, but chose to ignore it, praying that it would go away. Between his dreams and Hermione's inability to hide the sad look in her eyes every time he touched Ginny it was only a matter of time. Harry just hoped it wouldn't affect their friendships, he didn't know what he would do if their little group fell apart.
"I don't know what I would do without you guys." Harry said more to himself then to anyone else.
"And you'll never have to know." Hermione told him leaning forward to pat his knee.
Harry smiled at the gesture, but quickly adopted a neutral expression when he saw the look on Ron's face. He had obviously missed something. He just wished he knew what it was.
The tension passed quickly, and soon they were joking and laughing as usual, the awkward moment nearly forgotten. Half way back to London Neville knocked on their cabin door before poking his head in.
"They're getting a little rowdy up front today, mind if I join you here?" he asked.
"No problem." Harry told him, momentarily forgetting about their silent situation over Ginny, "There's plenty of room."
Neville glanced back and forth between the two vacant seats before choosing the one beside Hermione. Once he was settled the conversation resumed and by the time the lunch trolley came around they were all holding their side's from laughing so hard.
It seemed to Harry that everyone had managed to put aside whatever personal issues they were having in order to make their last hours together before the holiday pleasant ones.
After their lunch of sweets and snack cakes had been consumed Neville finally asked a question that had been bothering him all fall.
"So Harry," he began, "Do you plan on restarting the D.A. after the holidays?"
The question caught Harry off guard. A few other members had mentioned it to him in passing, but he hadn't given it serious thought.
"I hadn't really thought about it." he admitted, "Do you think we should?"
Just then the door slide open again and Luna appeared.
"I'm sorry Harry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but as I was passing by I heard you mention the D.A. and stopped. I think it would be a lovely idea if you started holding meetings again."
Slightly flustered Harry once again spoke without thinking, "Do you really think it was that useful?"
He was met with a unanimous and enthusiastic "yes."
"Hmm, I'll have to see if I can come up with something after we get back from the holidays." Harry said quietly.
It always surprised him when his fellow students turned to him for leadership, and though it was not a role he was completely comfortable with, it was one he had come to accept over the years.
Within minutes ideas for new D.A. lessons were being thrown around the cabin and Harry found himself caught up in plans for the coming term.
The sun was just setting over the city when they pulled into King's Cross station and for the first time in memory the ride back to London seemed far too short. When they arrived at the station Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were waiting on the platform, their red hair standing out against the crowd.
"I'm so sorry Harry." Mrs. Weasley said yet again as she hugged him. "If we had remembered sooner we could have made arrangements for you to come with us."
"It's all right." Harry assured her as he hugged her back, "It's only a few weeks. I'll be fine."
Mrs. Weasley nodded. "Are your aunt and uncle picking you up?"
"They should be." Harry told her as he hitched his bag on his shoulder and adjusted his grip on Hedwig's empty cage. "I sent them a letter as soon as I found out that the dorms would be closed."
"Well we'll wait with you until they get here." Mr. Weasley told him, placing a hand on Harry's shoulder.
Harry nodded then looked down. For some reason displays of affection from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley always made him tear up and he didn't want them to see.
Once they made it through the barrier and into King's Cross station it was easy to spot the Dursleys standing near the back wall. When Mrs. Weasley had been assured that Harry would not be stranded at the station she hugged him once more, wished Harry a Happy Christmas, then turned to collect her children.
As Harry turned to walk away from the brick wall leading to platform 9 ľ he felt a hand on his arm and was not at all surprised to find Hermione sitting beside him.
"I just wanted to say Happy Holiday's Harry." She said as she reached up to hug him. "I'll be in touch. And I'll see you at The Burrow on New Years."
Harry hugged his friend tightly, and on impulse dropped a friendly kiss on the top of her head.
"You have a good holiday too, and I'll see you soon." He told her as they broke apart.
They stood there for a moment in awkward silence before Hermione told him that her parents were waiting for her and ran off, disappearing into the crowd.
Confused and already dreading the days he would be forced to spend at his aunt and uncle's house Harry fought his way through the crowd and out to the Dursley's waiting car.
The ride from London to Little Whinging was a tense one. Harry hadn't been at the Dursley's for the holidays in five years, and he honestly didn't know what to expect. When they pulled into the drive Harry blinked repeatedly at the house in front of him. It was covered with little white lights making it look like a giant plane ready to take off. The neighboring houses were decorated much the same and Harry tried to remember if the house had been this decorated like this when he was little.
Inside the smell of cinnamon and apple drifted through the house; the smell most likely coming from the basket of heavily scented pinecones that sat on the table in the small foyer.
"We have company coming over Christmas Eve." Mr. Dursley said gruffly, "I expect you to make yourself scarce."
"No problem." Harry replied, then quickly ran up the stairs to his room.

The other day Quinn was playing with a toy dog and informed us his dog's name was Sam. Ross told Quinn that he had a dog named Sam when he was a little boy. This lead to a conversation similar to this:
Quinn: "Where is your dog now?"
Ross: "Well I don't have him anymore. That was a long time ago."
Quinn: "Where is he? Is he dead?"
Ross: "Yes, he is dead."
Quinn: "Is Babygirl (our cat & don't judge…that is her adopted name) going to die?"
Ross: "Yes, Babygirl is going to die."
And then Quinn burst into tears and started crying hysterically. I am talking hyperventilating crying. And my heart broke. Through his sobs he would manage to eek out questions like: Is Eleanor going to die? Am I going to die? When are we going to die?
Do you have any idea how hard it is to tell your sweet four-year-old that yes, he is going to die? To watch his perfect little world crumble around him? To have not a single explanation that really makes any sense. Any guesses what I did? Yup, I sobbed right along with him. I cradled my little boy and cried and tried to tell him that it was okay.
Quinn just turned four and typically talks about death in a very nonchalant way. He will fall over and say he died in his imaginary game, things like that. He never seemed to grasp the meaning of it, so I was very shocked by his reaction.
I calmed Quinn down by telling him that we don't want to waste our time worrying about dying. That we have a long life and we will fill it with so many good memories. Even this made me cringe, because truth be told, I don't KNOW this. I tried to appeal to his ability to have control of the situation. I told him we make good choices like buckling our seat belt, and eating healthy, and wearing our helmet, and looking both ways before we cross the street so that we can make sure we stay safe. And it worked. He did calm down. He actually seemed to get over it pretty quickly.
Since this incident last week he has said things like, "Where is cat? Did she die?". It seems to still be very much on his mind. To some degree I want him to understand death. I want him to understand the consequences of getting hit by a car, drowning, choking, etc. I want him to know how important it is to keep himself safe. Once when I was explaining to him the severity of wrapping something around his neck he replied with, "Well then you can get a new Quinn." I made it very clear that there is no getting a new Quinn. That he was special and there was just one of him and I could never make a new one. When we saw someone with a missing limb he thought they could just grow a new one. I explained to him that you only get one body and you have to take care of it.
It is such a fine line. Protecting your child and being honest. Preparing your child for the real world and keeping their innocence.
P.S. Then, while searching for something on the computer, I found this. This hormonal pregnant woman, who just broke it to her four-year-old he was going to die, lost it. Time really does pass far too quickly. A reminder to count all your blessing and love deeply.

Despite what we've been told, skipping your annual checkup may not be a bad thing—in fact, it could even be good for your health.
In a new review of 14 studies involving 182,880 people, Danish researchers found that health checks didn't reduce morbidity or mortality overall or due to cancer or cardiovascular problems.
The only thing yearly doctor visits led to was more new diagnoses—which could be detrimental to your health, scientists say, since those diagnoses may not be life-threatening or cause symptoms.
"From the evidence we've seen, inviting patients to general health checks is unlikely to be beneficial," said lead researcher Lasse Krogsbøll of The Nordic Cochrane Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark, in a statement. "One reason for this might be that doctors identify additional problems and take action when they see patients for other reasons."
To be clear, the study findings don't recommend that physicians stop carrying out tests or offering treatments, but the researchers say, "Public healthcare initiatives that are systemically offering general health checks should be resisted."
If you're totally confused, don't worry—two Mayo Clinic doctors, internal physician and geriatrician Kevin Fleming, M.D. and gynecologist Petra Casey, M.D., made it easy for you. Here are their recommendations for how often to have the screenings you need most.
RELATED: While doctor's exams are the gold standard, these five DIY health tests could save your life!
Blood pressure
Dental exam
Skin exam
STD/STI test
Mammogram (for women 40+)
Every three years
Pap smear (every five years if HPV contesting is used)
And during those appointments, be sure to speak up. "Beyond screening tests, there is much value in individual counseling on such topics as family planning, STD prevention, quitting smoking, domestic violence, and good nutrition. Simple evaluation of weight, height, and blood pressure in the office can help guide those discussions," Dr. Casey says.

Java & HTML introduction applet
Your project as a programming consultant is to create a program that develops an amortization schedule. Your program should be written as a Java applet. As an applet, your program will be executed through the use of a browser. Your applet should prompt the user for three different inputs, loan amount, the duration of the loan and the annual interest rate. Your task is to create a Java applet that provides the user with a payment schedule, or amortization schedule. The schedule must include monthly payment amount, interest amount, principal amount and the remaining balance per pay period. The amortization table must be presented to the user in a nicely formatted table.
The applet input will be the loan amount, annual percentage rate (APR), and the number of years to pay out the loan. The output will be the loan amount, interest rate per pay period number of pay periods and the monthly payment. This information would be followed by the amortization schedule. Following is an example of the expected output for a $35,000 loan over 8 years at 8.5% interest rate.
Loan Amount: $35,000
Interest Rate per pay period: 0.085
Pay Periods: 96
Monthly Payment Amount: $503.72
Payment Monthly Amount Interest Principal Balance
1 503.72 247.92 255.80 34,744.20
2 503.72 246.10 257.62 34,486.58
3 503.72 244.28 259.44 33,965.86
95 503.72 7.07 496.65 500.78
96 503.72 3.55 500.17 0.61
The necessary calculations are below:
- p, loan amount or principal
- n, number of payments = payments per year * number of years
- i, interest rate per pay period = APR/payments per year = APR/12
- t, interest paid = interest rate per pay period * previous principal balance
- r, monthly payment amount = principal * interest per period / (1-(1+(interest per period)/100)^(number of payments-1)^2)
- a, principle amount = monthly payment amount – interest paid
- b, principle balance = previous balance – principle amount
Hint: In Java syntax the monthly payment calculation is:
Please note that your program should accept three inputs:
- The loan amount,
- Annual Percentage Rate, and
- The number of years to pay out the loan
And calculate six types of outputs:
- The monthly payment amount,
- Interest per pay period,
- Number of pay periods,
- Amortization schedule (including amount of interest per pay period, principal per pay period, and principle balance)
When coding your applet, remember the following:
- Your applet needs to extend the Applet (or JApplet) class. Of course, you need to import the appropriate applet package(s).
- Your applet needs to have declarations for the fields, labels, components, widgets, and so forth that you use in the applet.
- There are applet methods that are called automatically by browsers (please see your textbook). Make sure you initialize (implement init()) your applet.
- You need the code that does the calculation of the interest.
- You need to handle the event of pressing the button. There are some examples in the book (ask your instructor for the specific pages).
- You may use this sample code for example.
Please create an HTML page that contains the applet tag. In addition to your mortgage calculator commented Java code, you need to provide the HTML page.
Here is the Hello world Java code example to create an applet:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
* The HelloWorld class implements anapplet that
* simply displays "HelloWorld!".
public class HelloWorld extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g){
// Display "Hello World!"
g.drawString("Hello world!",50, 25);
Then you would compile the class and create an HTML page called Hello.htm:
<Title>A Simple Program.</Title>
Here is the output of my program:
<APPLET CODE="HelloWorld.class"WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="25">
Deliverable Details:
Upload the commented source code file of your calculator, the class file and the HTML file.

A teacher's aide accused of having intercourse with a 15-year-old male student was arrested on campus Monday by La Mesa police.
Chrystina Delrosario, 25, of El Cajon, was booked into Las Colinas Detention Facility on suspicion of performing a lewd act with a child, unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and intent to commit a sexual offense with a minor, police Capt. Dan Willis said.
The arrest was made at Reflections Central School on Hercules Street. The school is an educational program for young offenders run by the San Diego County Office of Education in affiliation with the San Diego County Probation Department.
Most of the students are on probation, Willis said.
Delrosario has been an aide at the school since March 2010, said Music Watson, a county Office of Education spokeswoman. Delrosario has been placed on unpaid administrative leave pending completion of the investigation, Watson said.
She said school officials contacted police Monday morning after receiving information about the allegation.
Willis said a patrol officer and detectives immediately went to the school and interviewed the aide, the victim and others.
Delrosario was arrested at the school about 1 p.m. She is accused of having intercourse once with the boy in a campus classroom about 2½ weeks ago, Willis said.
Watson said the school serves grades seven through 12 and has three classrooms.
The safety and security of students is the school's top priority, Watson said.
The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to call La Mesa police at (619) 667-1400, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at (888) 580-8477.

I decided to call this page "Sneaking a Peek" since this was the day I found out the baby was a boy! I used Bella Blvd's Baby Boy collection and some KatScrappiness.com blue and white felt clouds in this layout.
I stamped a border around the page that says "Celebrate this life" which is an Ali Edwards' stamp. I also used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the blue filmstrip photo frame and I even used my new washi tape in the corners!

Two men held after remembrance service marred by hecklers
Two dissident republicans were arrested after heckling a remembrance service in Dublin yesterday morning.
The Duke of Kent, Irish President Michael D Higgins, Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers and Belfast Lord Mayor Nichola Mallon were among the dignitaries at the service at Glasnevin Cemetery.
One eyewitness said there were about 20 protesters in total.
"They were shouting 'shame, shame, shame on you' intermittently throughout the event," he told the Belfast Telegraph.
"But they were kept outside the main cemetery."
The protesters are believed to have been from the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, which is connected with the Real IRA.
There was a report that at one stage the protesters were pepper-sprayed by the Garda after they started screaming obscenities and refused to leave after being asked to do so.
The Garda Press office confirmed that two men in their thirties had been arrested by officers at the scene.
One was arrested at 11.30am and later charged with public order offences.
He appeared in court yesterday afternoon for an initial hearing.
The second man was arrested at around 2pm.
He was charged with public order offences at Mountjoy Garda station.
The man was released on bail but ordered to attend court on August 15.

Organic, Sustainable, Local–Everybody's Asking For It
(plus a visit to Chez Panisse!)
You can't escape reading about "organic", "sustainable", "local", and "ethical farming" everywhere these days–in newspapers and magazines (not just food ones), and it's getting big coverage on TV too (food scares, the obesity "epidemic", farm subsidies, discussions about Michael Pollan's best-selling The Ominvore's Dilema" etc.). Trying to eat food that is real is one of the hot button issues of our times. Living in the Bay Area we have a huge privilege over most of the U.S. due to our proximity to some of the best, and most diverse, produce growing regions anywhere (and that includes grapes grown for wine!).
The feedback we get here in our office on what's become a constant basis from magazine and newspaper editors, as well as TV producers, is "What authors and books do you have that talk about organics, and sustainable, locally grown foods?". We have various books that have come out in recent years that have either been ahead of their time, or quite recently released and totally in line with people desiring food that's fresh, not treated with toxic chemicals, and that hasn't been flown from 5000+ miles away to get to you Tomatoes in February? Forget it.
These food issues are truly on my mind on a daily basis (it is impossible not to when you're directly connected to the world of food in the early 21st century!).
It had been a little under a year since I last ate at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and I can say that it's the first time since moving to Berkeley in 1995 that I had an intensely heightened sense of all parts of the hot-button OrganicSustainableLocal triumvirate. Even though many people might balk at trying to adhere to these methods of eating/sourcing these types of ingredients due to perceived elitism or financial privilege, what it all comes down to is getting the critical mass to start eating REAL food again–non-processed or artificial. It seems so logical to me that it's frustrating that the convenience of buying food in the mad rush of these times has eclipsed people's enjoyment of it!
The highlights of the meal (enjoyed with two first-timers visiting from Toronto, who truly made the pilgrimage to Chez Panisse one of their necessary stops on their vacation):
a bottle of Navarro Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2005
a bottle of J Vineyards Pinot Noir 2002 (we brought that!)
Pizzetta with rocket salad and prosciutto
Celery soup with chervil and crème fraîche
Local white sea bass roasted in the wood oven with gypsy pepper salad, almonds, and tzatziki
Sonoma County duck breast with green beands, turnips, and summer truffle
Ram Das Orchards Santa Rosa plum tart with cardamom cream
Coffee chocolate-almond ice cream with bittersweet chocolate sauce (I wonder who's chocolate they use? Hmmm…)
SUBLIME–the food is always exceptionally fresh. Cooking with this sort of lovely directness is something to aspire to at home; what Alice Waters and company established 30+ years ago hasn't lost an ounce of relevance–preparing simple, elegant food, pure in delectable flavor in line with the growing season is not only sensible and good for you–it's what tastes BEST.
Quite excitingly for Chronicle Books, we will for the first time ever be publishing a book with Alice Waters about The Edible Schoolyard, in Fall 2008. More to come on that in the not-so-distant future…
