text: I put my name on a waiting list for an Evo 4g on June 29th at my local Sprint store, and here we are almost 3 weeks later with no end to my wait in sight... They told me it would take 1-2 weeks at the store and that they'd call me when another shipment came in. Two weeks go by... nothing. I finally called this past Friday (July 16) and asked about how much longer it would take, and they replied, "probably another a few weeks." I asked how long until they expect a new shipment in, and they replied that they have no indication when more will be in... I've searched Google, these forums, and others to see what its like for other people trying to get an Evo and I can find NOTHING on either other people experiencing the same outrageous waiting experience (other than generic articles talking about the Sprint website being 'out of stock'), or any articles talking about when the Sprint stores will get a new wave of Evo phones... Am I the only one on the planet being tortured....????

Eleven years after Soukky and Sythongsay ("Khek") Luanglath were
convicted of a violent robbery they maintain they had no part in,
lawyers argued that a judge's inconsistent findings entitled the
brothers to a new trial in a case "gone disastrously wrong."
Arguing before the Rhode Island Supreme Court, John A. MacFadyen
and Deputy Public Defender Barbara Hurst underscored former
Superior Court Judge Corrine P. Grande's "shocking" reversal of her
own findings with regard to eyewitness identification.
"I suggest that what happened here is so unusual, so bizarre, that it violates their constitutional right to due process of law," said MacFadyen, the defendants' court-appointed appellate lawyer.
Soukky Luanglath, 36, and his brother Khek, 34, have been free on bail since 1993, when they were sentenced for a 1990 robbery in Providence's Washington Park section. During the robbery, members of the Souvaneleuth family were tied up at gun point and robbed of $25,000 in cash and $13,000 in gold. In their brief submitted to the Supreme Court in June, Hurst and MacFadyen say that this case "began as a straightforward eyewitness identification. Three armed robbers, more or less perfectly masked, broke into a dwelling house and terrorized a Laotian family." At first, several victims said they did not actually see the perpetrators' faces. A few days later, "one family member emerged to accuse Khek and Soukky Luanglath as being two of the perpetrators," their brief states.
In the days after the robbery, the victims attempted on their own to determine who had robbed them in their homes, including by making a privately orchestrated "show up" at a Lao community concert, where the Luanglaths were performing in a rock band. By the end, the victims "were confidently asserting that the perpetrators' faces were in full view, and they could make positive and certain identifications."
In 1993, Grande found that eyewitness identification in the case was "totally unreliable," but that Rhode Island law gave her no authority to grant a new trial based on that finding, MacFadyen said. But in 2000, after the Supreme Court reversed that decision and remanded the case to Grande with instructions to give "full effect to her original findings," Grande "did a 180-degree turn" and called the eyewitness identification "totally reliable," MacFadyen said. "Our claim is that it was wrong for her to do that, beyond the scope of what the [Supreme] Court told her to do," MacFadyen said after yesterday's proceedings. "It is not what was contemplated, and consequently, in essence denies you the due process of law that you're entitled to in Rhode Island."
Arguing for the state, Special Assistant Attorney General
Christopher R. Bush said that Hurst and MacFadyen's "entire
argument is premised on their interpretation of Judge Grande's
first decision. The state argues that she never reached that
definitive conclusion." If the Supreme Court does not grant a
new trial, the brothers stand to serve 15 years in prison, then
face deportation to Laos, said MacFadyen. MacFadyen said the
brothers have not had any run-ins with the law in those ensuing
years, and "their willingness to appear . . . they clearly aren't
running from anything . . . is proof positive" of their
innocence. "If they go to jail -- I can't say the words. It's
a travesty of justice," said Vilay Luanglath, the defendants'
brother. "A huge error by the state."
Other issues raised by Hurst and MacFadyen yesterday included Grande's issuance of an "Allen charge" to the jury without first disclosing to lawyers that jurors were split 10 to 1. (An Allen charge refers to instructions given to a jury that remains deadlocked after deliberations; an Allen charge essentially urges jurors to go back to the table and move things along). Hurst also argued that it was not clear whether the defendants understood their rights after one juror refused to vote during deliberations. The Luanglaths agreed to waive their right to a jury of 12, and allow a jury of 11 to continue. "Nowhere in this record -- was it explained that they had a right to a jury trial of 12," Hurst said. Hurst also called problematical Judge Grande's "oblique reference to a mistrial" as an option in that situation. Grande did not outline that option during a chambers conference with defense counsel, said Hurst, but did so later in open court, after the defense counsel had already explained the options to the Luanglaths (minus the option for a mistrial).
Bush, the special assistant attorney general, countered that the defense attorneys "knew there was a split -- they did not know what the split was, but they knew the jury was having problems." But defense counsel did not press the matter, said Bush. "The point is, she [Grande] specifically asked defense counsel if they had an objection, and they said 'No,' " Bush said. As Grande's findings took center stage, Chief Justice Frank Williams said, "It pains me that it's the trial judge who's at issue today." Supreme Court Justice Maureen McKenna Goldberg referred to Grande's statement that she did not disclose the 10-1 split among the jurors before delivering an "Allen charge." Goldberg said that Grande "just about said, by not disclosing the split before delivering the Allen charge, that 'I've prejudiced the defendants.' This is a trial judge who indicts herself -- that's what we're dealing with."

Run Like a Mother
As much as I love it, it is just running. There are many aspects of my life that are WAY more important. Today is day 14 that I haven't ran. I hope to get back out this week, but we shall see...
My 5 year old had his tonsils and adenoids removed a week ago, Thursday. The two days prior to his surgery were spent with doctor's appointments and making arrangements. He had severe sleep apnea and his oxygen saturation was 95-96% when he was awake. Things went from, "ah, he should see an ENT" to "we need to take these out ASAP!". His recovery has been hard, and I have spent my days pushing fluids, and snuggling. I wouldn't trade that for anything. But I haven't been able to run, because I can't leave him alone, and as soon as my husband gets home from work, I am out the door to work. I thought he could go back to school today, but the last couple of days he has been bleeding from his nose (from the adenoid removal) when he gets too energetic. I don't want to send him to school when he is bleeding from his surgical sites. In rare circumstances it can become very dangerous.
On the very first night my son slept through since surgery, my 3 year old daughter was up throwing up all night. Her fever was up to 105 yesterday. Today I am cuddling two and pushing fluids on them both.
I love them both to death and I wouldn't trade my time with them for anything. Running can wait. Babies (or small kiddos) don't keep!
So what can you do today, that you will thank yourself for tomorrow?
Some days, for me, that is running. Some days its being okay with not running, and living in the moment with the ones I love.
You are a good Mom. Snuggle hard...
I have so much admiration for people like you, Chloey. Young mothers, young fathers... It's rough. I've been through it and yes, it's rough to make everything hold together. What I do today I could never have done when my children were your kids' ages. I'm glad that you have your priorities right. Your children are your life and your responsibily. And you are all that they have. Running is not all that you have... it's just one thing among many other things. Your little one will get better soon and you'll be able to get your me time once again. A well deserved break! Until then, snuggle up with him, he will thank you for it later in life.

~How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were supposed to be?~
You are absolutely correct, it is just running, and it will still be there when you have time.
I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out in 2011 and had some pretty serious bleeding from the adenoid wounds, ended up in the ER, not fun at all.

Dtothe2nd, how many days past surgery were you when you had the bleeding? He is 12 days out now, and was bleeding last night again. So far, we haven't seen large amounts of blood, but that is why I am afraid to send him to school. I am afraid they won't make him be calm, and that he might start bleeding a lot and need to go back to the hospital!
Chloey, mine was 4 days after surgery, it was a single incident (coughed hard and felt something pop in my nose, then the waterfall started), but mine was very severe, bad horror movie type bleeding, it even freaked out DW and she has a medical background. Took about 45 mins for the bleeding to stop, which coincidentally was how long it took for the ambulance to show up and get me to the ER (we were at my inlaws out in the country). So by the time I got there, since the bleeding had stopped, they pretty much just checked me out, consulted with the ENT that was on call and sent me home. Didn't have any problems after that. I would say that if he's having repeated problems with bleeding to give the ENT a call, they might need to re-cauterize.

I hope they feel better soon!
*it's Bertha or me. My money is on me.*
There have been threads in the past on RWOL where people have said something like, "I'm going on vacation with my family and I'm worried I won't be able to run as much as I'd like." I tell them they have their priorities screwed up as the proper question is, "I'm going on vacation with my family and I'm trying to figure out where we should go and what we should do." I have gotten blistered for that response but I have never and will never back down one iota from it. You worry first about your family and then about your running. I went to Disney in the middle of training for my first marathon and managed a whopping 10 miles that week. I'm willing to bet that my marathon time didn't suffer more than 15 seconds because of that. Rather than building my aerobic system and my muscles that week, I built memories.
Having said all of that, I also remain convinced that regular exercise helps us to be better parents. We have the energy to run around with our kids. We are not the parents forced to stay on the sidelines while our kids run around in the field. Exercise gives us an outlet for our frustrations so we take that out on the road rather than on the family. It is too easy I think, to decide that life is too busy for regular exercise when the reality is that life is too busy not to engage in regular exercise. My wife and I get pretty much the same amount of sleep. I exercise; she doesn't. The difference in energy levels is fairly striking.
At least for me then, it is important to find that balance. I'd love to say I have figured it out but I get it wrong on occasion. There are times I'm kicking myself for skipping a run and times I'm kicking myself for going running. Still, the fact that I think about it means that I probably get it right most of the time. It sounds to me like you are striking the right balance. Get back out there when you can.
Short term goal: 17:59 5K
Mid term goal: 2:54:59 marathon
Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life. (I started running at age 45).

I'm glad you are recording your stories. Stories do connect us. I sometimes hesitate to share a story, but when I do, I realize that I am connecting and others can connect to me. Keep on telling your story.ReplyDelete
What special friends you have who see books and think of you!
I love your idea for that beautiful journal. Those books seem like very inspirational reads, and I love the play on words of the title also.ReplyDelete
Both of those books sound great! And I love the idea of a journal for collecting people's stories. Thanks for hosting this time of celebration.ReplyDelete
Stories do matter. They connect people as evidenced through your blog. Keep it up!ReplyDelete
We could not agree more about the power of stories --it is how we connect, learn, and understand. Thank you for helping us all connect through our celebrations!ReplyDelete
Clare and Tammy
What beautiful gifts, especially the journal. One thing I have learned from you and TWT is that yes stories do matter. I just hope that I successfully convey that message to my students.ReplyDelete
Also, I am working on a story for SOL on Tuesday that reminds me of the relationship between you and your kids, the mother you are, and the difference you make. If you get a chance, stop by on Tuesday and take a peek.
I love the cover of This Little Light of Mine! I also love the play on words PAUSITIVITY. We definitely need to pause to let the light in! Beautiful journal, too.ReplyDelete
..."waiting for words to find me." Beautiful.ReplyDelete
Stories do matter. I love looking for the joys to celebrate.ReplyDelete
Rereading your post, I meant to add how joyful I was to see how friends reached out to encourage you this week. Treasures to hold dear when the moments of discouragement appear. Keep writing from the heart, my friend. Your stories inspire and lead. Hugs!ReplyDelete
If you think of nothing else today please remember you inspire many! In my post this week I talked about time lost and found. Without the focus on Celebration writing I would have not seen the found time, only the lost time. And it is truly in the found time that I want to be and live!ReplyDelete
Never doubt the power of what you do- the words will find you, be ready!
What a gift to you to be given the stories of others, and what gift to others to have their stories preserved through your words in that beautiful journal! I am also happy to see that book could lift you up in some small way. A tiny token of thanks for allowing me to stand on your shoulders so often.ReplyDelete
Stories do matter. Thank you for sharing the wonderful moments of your week.ReplyDelete
I smiled when I saw breathe on your journal, as taking time to take some deep breaths was something I celebrated this week. It really takes me back to some of the most simple things in life that we shouldn't take for granted.ReplyDelete
I also loved your stories matter line. That is what I said in my dissertation for my methods section, a rationale for choosing narrative inquiry.
Thanks for sharing my words and all your celebrations. I would have written a soliloquy if I would have known! You've always been my most vigorous cheerleader.ReplyDelete

Singer Irina Hodus
Adler, RUSSIA, 2011 - It's common for Sochi restaurants (and eateries throughout the country) to feature singers who, night after night, rely on a fixed repertoire of Russian chansons. The term "background music" is a foreign concept to these performers (often the volume is cranked up to 11) and instead of talking, patrons dance and sing. On this photo: Irina Hodus (23) from Bryansk in restaurant 'Volna' in Adler.

David hoping to slay Goliath in Navan clash
John Savage
LOUTH U-21 boss David Reilly is hoping the experience of reaching last year's Leinster final will stand to his 2013 panel next Tuesday night as his troops prepare for a derby battle with Meath.
The Reds have a handful of survivors from 12 months ago, but with a number of them carrying knocks and recovering from long-term injury, Reilly's plans are still up in the air somewhat.
'We do have a bit of experience from last year and that's a bonus, but we've been carrying a few knocks,' Reilly revealed. 'Michael McKeown and Cian McEvoy have been struggling lately and Eoghan Duffy is out because of his rugby scholarship in Waterford. Peter Kirwan is recovering from glandular fever, so he's not going to make it either. We have Anthony Williams and Dermot Campbell from last year too.'
Last year's minors Stephen Kilcoyne and Ciaran Byrne have also been laid low by injury recently, with the latter on the mend from a long-term knee problem.'
Injuries aside Reilly is under no illusions as to the task at hand. The former Louth star is no stranger to trips into the Lion's Den, while his side will be facing a Meath outfit bolstered by some promising minor teams in recent seasons.
'Meath have had some very good minor teams. They were in the All-Ireland final last year and they beat Louth two years ago in the Leinster semi-final in Navan.
'But it was a huge fillip for our lads to reach the Leinster final last year too and that kind of thing brings lads on no end.
'They have been working very hard, training Tuesday, Friday and Sunday and we've played a number of challenge matches too against Armagh, Monaghan, Down and Cavan.'
While midweek games are far from ideal, Reilly has been around long enough to know it's something well out of his control.
'It's not ideal, we have a guy in Cork, one in Carlow and a lot in Dublin. It's a bad time of year too with heavy pitches and they'll be even heavier with all the weather we've had recently.
'But we're looking forward to it. Meath will be favourites but as Louth showed last year if you can get a win under your belt, guys grow in confidence and you can build up momentum from there.'
Meath, meanwhile, have a numbers of survivors from the starting XV that made a disappointing opening round exit to Offaly last year.
Conor McHugh, Ciaran McConnell, Brian Dillon and Patrick Fox all started against the Faithful County 12 months ago while Conor Devereaux came on as a sub.
Donal Landy from St Patrick's was also a member of that panel and is eligible again but injury rules out senior player Alan Forde.
Most of the squad has experience from county minor level including Neil Shortall, Bobby O'Brien, Conor McGill, Bryan McMahon, Conor Sheridan and Daniel Queeney. The manager is Sean Barry and his selectors are all former county senior players, Cormac Sullivan, Tom Hanley and Pauric Lyons.
They have played a number of challenge games in preparation for the Wee County clash and will fancy their chances of advancing to the next round.

A friend and leading supporter of WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning said Wednesday he refused to testify before a grand jury, citing his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.
David House, one of the founding members of the Bradley Manning Support Network, told reporters after his hourlong court appearance the only information he gave the grand jury was his name and address.
Army Pvt. Bradley Manning is accused of leaking classified thousands of U.S. military and State Department documents to the whistleblower WikiLeaks website.

This dress is extremely elegant, yet, you can throw it in a car or suitcase and shake it out to wear. One caveat: the hem is long. I even went down a size to see if would be shorter.

When planning this trip around Australia, one of the major highlights for me was South Western Australia. Growing up in NSW, most of my friends and family rarely travelled outside its borders, so I learned nothing about WA. I assumed that besides the desert, it was all pretty much the same as home.
Now that I am an adult, I have met some more adventurous travelers. Maybe these days people are prepared to go a bit further than they use to. Everyone I know who has been to this part of Australia has loved it, and encouraged me to make it a future destination. So after the Nullarbor, an inland visit to Kalgoorlie and some bush camping in National Parks, we arrived in Albany and headed for Middleton Beach Holiday Park.
My first impression was how neat and tidy it was, and the gardens were spectacular. It's not a particularly large park, but it is nestled behind the dunes directly adjacent to the lovely Middleton Beach.
Mike and I both agree that Albany is our favourite place so far. There are two natural harbours (Oyster and Princess Royal), separated by Middleton Beach. Most of the coastline is sparsely developed, which is refreshing for a large coastal town. There are loads of Nature Reserves and National Parks close by. We were there out of season, but Albany is a great place for Whale Watching round June-December.
A point of interest, Australia's last commercial Whaling Station ceased operation here in 1978, and you can still visit the Station, now called 'Whale World'. It explains the history of Whaling in the region, which I mostly found a bit confronting, given the state of the whale population these days. But there was a great film about shark conservation, and a 3D film about the Life of Whales. Coby and Rhys kept stretching out their arms trying to touch the 3D whales. One of the Whale Chaser ships used by the station is now part of the display, where you walk all over the ship from the engine room to the upper deck. This impressed the kids to no end. BIG4 members get a discount at Whale World.
We also had a great time wandering around the town of Albany. We visited the beautiful Emu Point at the entrance to Oyster Bay, and the Brig Amity replica, the boat that brought the first settlers to Albany in 1826.
The time we were in Albany was some of the best weather we had seen on our trip. We made the most of it and visited the spectacular pool every day. The setting was relaxing and we all had heaps of fun, also enjoying the Hydro-spa.
I have to also mention the Family bathroom. This was bigger than our caravan. For the first time this trip, I had a bath with the kids. Such luxury.
Middleton Beach Holiday Park was a great place to relax and recharge before continuing on with our journey.
Thanks to Sharon Smith for sharing part of her family's Big Road Trip with us. Read about more of the Smith family's travels at http://smiffy2011.wordpress.com/

Now my credit is larely restored, but I delayed in using one credit card. I'm trying to buy a piece property, but the banker says that in order to qualify me he needs to see that the third card is showing up on my credit reports.
SO today I'm using the credit card for sure.
BUT, I am concerned how long it will take for my usage of the card to show up in the credit bureaus so I can get the loan. I want this property badly. Is there ANY THING I can do to speed up the process? Would it do any good to ask the credit card company to expedite the process? Should I send copies of the receipts to the banker? Any suggestions at all?

You have to be patient..
They won't report to the bureaus until after your biling cycle closes. Is this a new card? Also, there is no law stating that they have to report to any bureaus. The cad companies have to pay to report your history. Try and call the credit card company. The CRAs dont care what your purchased with the card. They want to hear payment history from the card comany.

ok, first of all i dont care if you think im wrong, maybe you have seen cars like 35 times long than your head. Im pretty sure its not a limo. You can tell by the fashion its in. Remingtons had unusually long hoods in SA, so caould this be a remington?
as you can see by the picture, there is a man in the car, who has either a very small head, or a huge car. The hood is very long. I guestimated how many "heads" could fit its lenght. I got about 40 and since heads are 1ft in lenght, i think the car is 40 feet long.

Guardiola wanted Toure stay
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has claimed he did everything he could to persuade Yaya Toure to stay.
Last Updated: 19/07/10 4:46pm
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has claimed he did everything he could to persuade Yaya Toure to stay at Camp Nou rather than join Manchester City.
Guardiola revealed he would also have preferred defender Dmytro Chygrynskiy to remain with the Catalan club following his return to Shakhtar Donetsk.
And the Barca boss admitted that the future of Mexico defender Rafael Marquez and Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in their own hands.
Toure moved to Eastlands in a big-money deal after becoming frustrated at his lack of first-team opportunities in Spain.
"It's a big blow for us," Guardiola said. "I did everything possible to get him to stay and he's a popular player in the dressing room, but he wanted to leave and there's not much I could do.
"I am grateful for everything he gave Barca and I hope he finds a (regular) place (at City) that I was unable to give him."
Chygrynskiy headed back to Shakhtar following a sole season at the Nou Camp and, although the coach was reluctant to let the Ukraine centre-back go, he admits the sale was necessary to balance the books.
"My opinion counts, but the needs of the club go above that and that's why he was sold," said Guardiola. "I would like to have kept him."
Guardiola does not expect any more departures this summer, but says Marquez and Ibrahimovic have decisions to make.
"Marquez's future depends on him. After everything he has given the club, he will be the one to decide his future," he said.
"Ibrahimovic had a really good season last year. He will decide his future - he is a special player.
"I have not spoken with the previous president (Joan Laporta) or the new one (Rosell) to put him on the market.
"If he stays, he is a player who needs to continue to be important for us. He will decide what to do with his agent."
And the Barca coach is looking forward to the challenge of facing new Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho.
"He is one of the best coaches in the world, if not the best, so the fact that he is coming to the Spanish league is good," he said.
"We beat Madrid by three points last year (in the Primera Division) and because of small details.
"They will continue to be competitive and they haven't won anything for two years, so we'll have to keep improving.
"They have more zeros (money) than us, so we'll have to have more enthusiasm."

User talk:Humbeggar
Sponsored links
When stubbing an article, please avoid using {{stub}}, and instead use the more appropriate stub tags, such as {{cdrama-stub}}, {{cactor-stub}}, {{hkdrama-stub}}, etc. Groink 13:21, 1 Aug 2007 (CDT)
I will try to remember to do that in the future. Thanks. Humbeggar
TV Series or TV Shows
It's my understanding that either one is acceptable. Personally, I prefer to use "TV Series" if all of an artist's listed dramas can be considered "电视连续剧" vs. the more broad term "电视节目." --Lady Zhuge 17:58, 1 Aug 2007 (CDT)
- I prefer to use TV Series too unless it is a sitcom or game show. Thanks Humbeggar, for expanding Hong Kong drama section! You contribute a lot in this section, so keep up the good work! --uladelz 15:10, 2 Aug 2007 (CDT)
- I'm fine with either one, too. Since DramaWiki:Chinese Artist Article Formatting states "TV Shows," who am I to argue with the creator of Dramawiki? I'm sticking to "TV Shows" until the policy gets changed. For consistency sake. --WaterOB 16:49, 2 Aug 2007 (CDT)
- The only trouble with the use of the nomenclature "series" is that a one-episode show is technically not a series. That is why, at least with the Japanese articles, we're using "TV Shows". Groink 17:51, 2 Aug 2007 (CDT)
Preview vs. Save
Please use the preview button to "see" your edits before saving them. There's no need to save the same entry more than once or twice in succession. Thank you! :) --- Quashlo 21:11, 1 Aug 2007 (CDT)
Copying and Pasting w/o Romanizing
Please do not just copy and paste series titles from Chinese Wikipedia, etc., without romanizing them. Thanks. --Lady Zhuge 10:14, 4 Aug 2007 (CDT)
- I firmly concur. Please stop this. It is making a hell of a mess out of the listings. Doesn't look messy to someone who can read that stuff, but for people like myself who can't read Chinese it is basically the equivalent of grafitti. Groink 14:55, 4 Aug 2007 (CDT)
- I guess I am not good at romanizing things, I was trying to look up the English titles of all the series, instead of translating it from Cantonese to English. It is quite hard to remember what titles to look up, I guess I was using the "fill in the blank" mentality. But since you have pointed out that this is not a placeholder for the edits, I will try to use notepad for that from now on. Humbeggar
Remove fields that are not filled in
The policy on DramaWiki is: If you don't have the answer, don't place it in the article. I see that you're using a template of sorts, but are leaving many of the fields blank or with some form of generic text, such as "Theme song: <title>, by <artist>". Instead of leaving text like this, just simply remove the fields. If we don't know what the theme song is, we just leave it out totally. Basically, other editors don't have to be reminded that a piece of information is missing by leaving the field blank. This sort of thing makes DramaWiki "look" incomplete. Groink 20:21, 4 Aug 2007 (CDT)
ATV Series Images
No problem. I mostly searched for them on Yahoo!, Google, and Baidu (my personal favorite). Yamayo69 02:50, 8 Aug 2007
Multiple seasons
I've combined some articles that you've created to their first season. In the future, only one article for each drama regardless of season number. Further discussion can be found on DramaWiki talk:Chinese TV Show Article Formatting --uladelz 20:36, 20 Aug 2007 (CDT)
Adding Hanja to Korean artist articles
DramaWiki does not allow Hanja to be added to Korean artist articles. It is not a part of the style guidelines here. I've reverted your edits. Please do not deviate from the style guidelines. Groink 01:40, 22 Nov 2007 (CST)
- Got it, thanks for the reminder.--Humbeggar 01:53, 22 Nov 2007 (CST)

Thermometers come in a variety of styles. Understand the different types of thermometers and how to pick the right thermometer for you.
Choosing the thermometer that's best for your family can be confusing. Here's what you need to know about the most common thermometers.
Regular digital thermometers use electronic heat sensors to record body temperature. These thermometers can be used in the rectum, mouth or armpit.
Armpit temperatures are usually the least accurate. Rectal temperatures provide the best readings for infants, especially those 3 months or younger, as well as children up to age 3. For older children and adults, oral readings are usually accurate — as long as the mouth is closed while the thermometer is in place.
If you plan to use a digital thermometer to take both oral and rectal temperatures, you'll need to get two digital thermometers and label one for oral use and one for rectal use. Don't use the same thermometer in both places.
The pros:
The cons:
Digital ear thermometers, also called tympanic thermometers, use an infrared ray to measure the temperature inside the ear canal.

wikiHow to Find Your Seats at a Sporting Event
Whether you are going to a new sports venue or have different seats at the hometown park, whatever the circumstances are, you may have trouble with finding your seats. Read this guide and you will be able to find your seats in no time!
1Look over your tickets for where to enter. Usually the ticket will say what gate you should enter at. If it has no information of that sort, ask an usher outside the venue.
2Head towards your section. There should be signs above your head showing where the different sections are. If so, follow the signs. If you are having trouble with that, try looking at a map. There may be a map inside with each section labeled. Use this to locate the direction you should go.
3Enter through the corridor towards the field. Once you reach the open, there will be an usher who can help point you in the right direction. The usher can even escort you to your row.
4Go down (or up) the isle to your row. Make sure that you go on the right side of the row so you are in your section.
5Go down the row to your seats. Remember proper manners for going down past other fans. This would mean being nice and asking them to stand so you may pass, walking with your back to them, and holding any food towards your sides.
6Remember how to get back to your seats if you get up. Once you do this once, it should be in your memory how to get back.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- Be polite to other fans when trying to make your way down the row to your seat or when asking for directions.
- Use the ushers. Ushers are more than glad to help you find your seats. They know the arena well, so you won't have any trouble with them leading you.
- Don't be afraid to ask. Regular fans should know their way around, so if you ask nicely, they should help you.

Five things you need to know about the Rock County Dairy Breakfast
As Rock County residents eagerly await endless pancakes, Amanda Thompson and her family are preparing their 200-acre farm for thousands of guests.
The Rock County Dairy Breakfast has been a tradition for 37 years. While many community members have attended the event for years, the next generation of pancake lovers is beginning to flock to the farm, as well.
Here are five things to know and expect at this year's dairy breakfast:
1. It's a family tradition: This isn't the first time the dairy breakfast has taken place at the Thompson Dairy Farm.
Thompson's grandparents, Herb and Bev Renner, hosted the event in 1995. They still own and operate both the farm and crops today, renting out the milking ground and hay barn to Amanda, 26, and her husband Aaron, 29. Dairy breakfast attendees will have a chance to tour the barns, pet the cows and take part in hayrides.
Sandy Larson, president of the Rock County Dairy Promotional Council, which organizes the event each year, said learning about farming and touring the facilities is the main reason locals look forward to the annual event. It's a great educational opportunity for kids and adults alike, she said.
"There aren't many family farms left, and people don't always realize the hard work put into running a farm," Amanda Thompson said. "If it wasn't for my grandparents supplying a wonderful farm for me, I don't know that I would have had this wonderful experience."
2. You be the judge: 25 locals have decorated plywood cow cutouts that are roughly the size of a calf. Larson notes there are a variety of artists involved in the project, including a woman and her grandkids, bank employees and other community members.
The unique canvases will be on display during the breakfast, and all in attendance can vote on their favorites. The first-place winner will win $300; second place gets $200 and third $100.
3. Support the community: Larson said all money raised from the breakfast goes toward programs and events that benefit the community. Money benefits scholarships, donates product to schools, puts on social events and supplies treats for different events. About 100 volunteers help prepare for the event, including several who have pitched in for years.
4. Food and fun: Pancakes aren't the only things to look forward to.
The Heatwave 4-H Choir and a local band will perform throughout the day. There also will be activities such as "Dairy Minute to Win It" and eating games. Children can keep busy with a petting zoo and playing in the "corn box," which is similar to a sandbox.
The breakfast also serves as a great opportunity to meet and catch up with people in the community. According to Larson, as many as 6,000 people are expected to attend.
5. Endless pancakes: When you pay for your breakfast, you pay for all-you-can-eat pancakes, as well as ham patties, yogurt, applesauce, cheese, milk, and ice cream.
Whoever said you couldn't have dessert with breakfast?

The Bolzoni & Walsh presentation was a great day to wrap up a Sunday during London Fashion Week.
Please click here to view the full SS12 collection.
I was particularly impressed with the wooden heeled sandals, beautiful bird printed cuffed & easy to wear dresses, the camel coats and am very much in love with the yellow jumpsuit (all pictured below)
The event which drew in an eclectic crowd including staff from Vogue.co.uk & Vogue Japan, Julia's boyfriend Robert, Lara Bohnic and 2 adorable children accompanied by their parents, all dressed in their Sunday bests was a hit!
I'm thinking guests who bring their children to events should be a staple as it create such a lovely atmosphere.
Congratulations to Simon Bolzoni and Katie Walsh on a successfully recieved collection.

Hey my lovelies!
It's been a while since I lasted posted on the blog and although I promised myself I'd get a whole lot better at blogging more frequently, its proving quite difficult with a full time role in Fashion PR & Marketing. If you didn't already know, I am now working for new online retailer & e-commerce site, THEN AND NOW SHOP. We have some seriously cool and new to the market brands for men, women, children and home.
Here are my favourite picks from THEN AND NOW's AW12 sale
Check out the site and let me know your thoughts.
So back to the delights of my blog which is now over 4 years old, I thought I'd recap to last month and give you a tiny glimpse into how I spent the last month of 2012.
To begin, here's a video I made using a new iPhone app I recently downloaded called Magisto of my attendance at the opening of Bershka's new flagship store in Marble Arch London

China's housing market appears to be nearing a precipice, and it's far from clear Chinese policymakers will be able to stop in time before the economy goes over the edge. Many analysts have speculated on China's housing bubble, including Reason Foundation's Shikha Dalmia and Anthony Randazzo, and now the numbers seem to suggest the problem is getting beyond the point of no return. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal points out some of the tensions (12/31/2011). Notes the journal:
"One of the biggest public-housing projects in history will help determine whether China can remake its real-estate sector fast enough to prevent its economy from flaming out.
"China is in the midst of a crash program to build 36 million subsidized apartments by the end of 2015—enough units to house the entire population of Germany. The goal is twofold: to head off social unrest by ensuring decent places to live for low-wage workers, but also to cushion an expected fall in high-end construction—the result of policies to tame property speculation—by ramping up construction at the low end: so-called social housing.
"Social housing is the No. 1 priority when it comes to support economic growth, ensure social stability and bring down average housing prices, as far as the government is concerned," said UBS analysts Tao Wang and Harrison Hu in a recent note."
Just as the luxury housing market begins to tank (prices have fallen dramatically in key markets such as Shanghai), government policy is pumping lots of money into so-called "social housing." Worried that the lower classes are squeezed out of the housing market, government policy is encouraging the state-owned banks to invest in lower cost, lower margin real estate developments. The government fears social unrest because of the boom in luxury housing units and the incentives for local governments, which own the land, to target land sales toward these higher margin sales. (Perhaps not so ironically, the luxury housing market itself is a product of policy encouraging real estate development through state-owned banks.)
At first glance, China appears to be following the conventional Asian model of using public housing to fill in the gaps in the private market. Both Hong Kong and Singapore followed this model. But, the housing market is more than just building new housing units. The right units need to be built at the right price and at the right time. With the steep subsidies going into social housing, it's unclear whether the central government will bail out the state-owned banks when the investments fail to generate the anticipated returns. And, with the Chinese economy showing signs of slowing, government housing policy may in fact make matters worse. As the Journal reports:
"But critics argue that Beijing is mismanaging the social-housing effort. While the central government set the housing goal, it has largely left the implementation and financing to local governments, which get much of their revenue by selling land to developers for luxury apartments, not low-profit housing.
"There is widespread suspicion that Chinese municipalities are inflating the number of apartments they are building, or relabeling projects already under construction as social housing. In November, for instance, the Ministry of Housing said work on foundations was sufficient to qualify as "housing starts," prompting derision that it was counting holes in the ground. Of 30 developers surveyed by Standard Chartered Bank, 21 said that less than 30% of the social housing being built was actually new construction.
"The social-housing project may also lead to bad loans a few year's down the road. "The lion's share of the funding comes from the [state-owned] banking system," said He Fan, an economist at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. While apartment sales may turn a profit, rental properties probably won't, which "will be a heavy burden for banks," he said. He compares the program to "highways in the desert," which he claims some local governments have built to meet highway-construction targets."
A better approach would be to reduce barriors to the market-provision of low and moderate income housing and let the high-income market depreciate to find the market-clearing price. While this wouldn't avoid the downturn altogether, more transparency in market prices would helpd rationalize investment in the real-estate market.
Importantly, not all markets in China will suffer the same fate. China is a vast nation with individual provinces having their own internal economic dynamic. Thus, what's true in Shanghai might not be true in Chongqing. For an interesting take on this, from the perspective of the so-caled "ghost cities," read Wendell Cox's articles over at newgeography.com.

So if you're keeping score here's how things from tonight's memorable Yankees/Red Sox game went down: Ryan Dempster plunks A-Rod after a series of inside pitches and somehow it's Yankees manager Joe Girardi who gets ejected.
Girardi was understandably angered and he sure got his money's worth while in the ump's face. The fired up Girardi could visibly be seen calling Dempster a "fucking pussy".
Girardi added after the game "I wish he had to hit"

Intel's Atom processors were originally intended to be a small side business for Intel, but they've unexpectedly become a huge source of income for the chip manufacturer. Intel owes Atom's success to two factors.
One, while the chips aren't nearly as capable as their more advanced CPUs, they are incredibly cheap: some of them cost under 30 bucks. But, more importantly, in the world of today's power-voracious gadgets, the Intel Atom architecture requires remarkably little power.
What that means is that machines running on Intel Atom CPUs are some of the few machines on the market capable of running all day on the charge of a six-cell battery. In fact, companies have become so good about tweaking their hardware to run the previous generation of Atom processors that it's rare to find a netbook that won't do at least eight or ten hours on a charge these days.
Expect the trend of low power Intel Atom processors to continue into the next generation of chips, under the Pine Trail architecture. Set to debut in 2010, the Pine Trail-M mobile chips will sip roughly twenty percent less power than the Atom chips out now.
In addition, the Pine Trail-M processors will have a smaller footprint… up to 64 percent smaller, in fact, thanks to the shift from three separate chips on-die to just two, as well as a new manufacturing process. All for roughly the same price as current models.
If you're looking into buying an Atom-based netbook, you're better off waiting until January: the netbook you pick up then will likely be faster and longer lasting, for the same price.

A woman was thrown to the ground and attacked in a sexual assault attempt in broad daylight in Rancho Cordova on Feb. 3. Sacramento County sheriff's investigators now have a sketch of the assailant, and they hope someone will recognize him.
The attack took place at 10:50 a.m. Monday in the area of Mills Park Drive and Silverwood Way, Sgt. Lisa Bowman said. The woman was walking to her gym when a man assaulted her. She was able to fight him off and flee, Bowman said.
The attacker was described as a black man, between 19 and 22 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds. His victim said he wore a black, hooded sweatshirt; black shirt; gray sweatpants and bright red/orange tennis shoes. He carried a black backpack.

Pal 4:3 audio: dolby 2.0 dolby 5.1 & DTS languaje: english Zoom Tour Live was filmed at CBS Television City in Los Angeles in May 2001 and was originally intended to be a dress rehearsal for a follow on tour to promote the Zoom album. This never really materialized due to poor ticket sales, so that makes this recording all the more important to all of the disappointed ELO fans. The show kicks off in a grand fashion as the giant pod-like spaceship, that has enveloped the stage, begins to pulsate radiant blue and white light while individual branches of the pod all start to open and rise upward revealing the band and the fog shrouded stage below. The opening sound effects soon fade into the famous opening guitar riff to "Do Ya" being hammered out by a black suited Lynne, whose trademark dark sunglasses, giant semi-afro, and scruffy beard make him look more like a Muppet character than ever.

I've been traveling up and down the East Coast this summer and had the chance to try two highly regarded institutions: Kings BBQ in Petersburg VA and Sweatman's in Holly Hill SC.
Kings was a pleasant surprise, especially as it's so conveniently located just off the I-95/I-85 juncture, about two hours south of D.C. The cue itself was a bit dry, but the biscuits, puppies, and slaw were fine, and the fried chicken may have been the best I've ever eaten. It was at once absolutely crisp and absolutely juicy. I would call this a worthy destination joint on the basis of the fried chicken alone. We were so stuffed after the fried chicken that we could not even contemplate dessert, which was a shame because the waitress highly recommended the homemade apple pie. The service could not have been more outgoing and friendly.
Sweatman's, which may be the most famous BBQ joint in the South, was a bit of a disappointment. The ribs were served in an appealing mustard-based sauce, but the meat itself was intermittently dry and tough. The chopped cue was completely uninteresting and by our local North Carolina standard fairly sub-par. The meat-gravy and rice, evidently a renowned dish, was unusual and tasty: a nice side. The banana pudding was lame even by the standards of Jello/Nilla confectionary, and I don't much see the appeal of sliced supermarket white bread as an accompaniment, however traditional this may be.
I enjoyed the meal overall, but Sweatman's, as far as I could gauge, is not as special as legend makes it out to be. I would issue a serious warning to cue-lovers contemplating a cross-country pilgrimage to Sweatman's. On the day I visited, at least, it was really not worth more than a 25-mile detour.

Eli Rubinstein got it right in "Can education alone save the Jewish People?" (Dec. 8). Our ongoing struggle to ensure that Jewish education is available in our community and is supported by donors and by communal leaders is meaningless unless that education and learning leads to real action and to practice. Merely educating our children and the next generation about our traditions, our history and our customs without making a personal commitment to follow and to do will not secure our future. Building buildings or institutions, and providing teachers to teach in them, is not the essence; building Jews is, and that requires translating that education into personal practice.

Extremist haredi behaviour
While I respect the right of Israel's haredi Jewish community to observe Judaism as they see fit, with all its traditions and observances, I do not support the actions of that segment of Judaism trying to impose their views on secular Jews throughout Israel ("Netanyahu vows to end extremist haredi behaviour"; "Segregation in Beit Shemesh causes uproar," Jan. 5). Calling Israeli police and soldiers Nazis and dressing up children with outfits and Stars of David reminiscent of Holocaust times are an insult to those who perished at the hands of Nazi Germany as well as the fortunate Jews who survived. The rioting haredi Jews forget that Israel is a true democracy where the rights of other co-religionists and those of other religions must be respected. Their attacks on secular and less observant Jews are no better than what is being witnessed by the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Muslim fundamentalists in Egypt. The right to practise religious orthodoxy is not analogous to the intolerant practice of sharia law in Muslim countries.

CJC needed a facelift, not burial
As a volunteer for the Canadian Jewish Congress National Archives for more than 25 years, I catalogued and sorted thousands of files. ("Legitimacy questions continue to plague CIJA," Dec. 22). Among them were CJC's plenary files. Every Jewish organization in Canada had the right to send a delegation to a CJC plenary, which took place every two or three years. The delegates cast their ballots to elect the officers of the CJC. Somebody please tell me, who elected the people of Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs? Who gave these people the right to make a power grab and kill the CJC? I grant, the CJC needed a facelift, and it would have so happened down the road, but not a burial.
Quoted in the article is an e-mail written by CIJA CEO Shimon Fogel. It states: "However, understanding of Congress and its legacy drops off very dramatically with the under-45 demographic within our community, who cannot relate to the name [or] the legacy (e.g., most don't even remember the USSR or Soviet Jewry)." The continuous daily stream of researchers to the CJC archives, however, shows a strong awareness of the past accomplishments of the CJC.
CIJA will have a difficult task to match the past accomplishments of CJC. The great leaders of the CJC of yesteryear left their everlasting imprint on the Jewish community of Canada. CIJA will have some catching up to do. So far, they have not even reached the starting line.

Signs' message is chauvinistic
UJA Federation of Greater Toronto has received a notice from the city of Vaughan that its signs are a problem ("UJA signs violate Vaughan bylaws," Dec. 8). Although the complaint is only about the wording of the signs – "Jewish Toronto Lives Here" – since Vaughan is not Toronto, I, like letter-writer Bert Raphael (Nov. 24), cannot see the purpose of these signs put up by the federation around the GTA. UJA campaign director Steven Shulman says that they have been put up "simply to create awareness of what federation does." I think this is far too costly a way to achieve this, especially since Vaughan city council may want a $24,000 fee for allowing the signs. Also, the message on the signs, which pinpoint Jewishly themed buildings or locations, appears to be unnecessarily chauvinistic.

The kid seemed out of place right from the start. It was a meeting of Latino non-profits in Pilsen, called by the Gery Chico.
Lawyer Marty Castro, a Chico volunteer, went around the room, asking all the participants to identify themselves. Everyone gave their name, and their organization. Except this kid.
"I'm Jim," he said. "I'm just here to learn a little bit more about Mr. Chico's education reform policies."
About 15 minutes into the meeting, Castro noticed that the kid's arm was concealing something that resembled a dictaphone. So Castro walked over to get a closer look.
"Jim, are you recording this session?" he asked. "You know, that's a violation of the Illinois Eavesdropping Act. Who are you with?"
The kid finally admitted he was with Rahm Emanuel's campaign. Castro asked him to delete the recording, and leave the room.
Now, the Chico campaign is fuming about Emanuel's use of "trackers" to record their candidate's activities. It's normal for campaigns to uses trackers to keep an eye and an ear on the opposition, but Chico spokeswoman Brooke Anderson is accusing Emanuel's trackers of concealing their identities at Chico campaign events. The campaign released a video of Jim's outing, as well as the outing of an Emanuel tracker who at first said he was attending Wednesday's endorsement by Ald. George Cardenas "on my own," but finally admitted, "I work for Rahm."
"You can't talk about transparency and send campaign workers who spy and misidentify themselves," Anderson said.
Emanuel spokesman Ben LaBolt defended the campaign's use of trackers, telling Ward Room, "If attending a public event to see what is said about the campaign is espionage, Tom Clancy is going to be mighty disappointed."

Forty acts of generosity to change the world
Giving blood and living on a fiver are just some of the Lent challenges from Christian charity Stewardship.
Its 40acts initiative kicks off on Wednesday and will challenge people to do something generous each day during Lent.
40acts is now in its third year and rather than giving something up, invites people to "give something out".
The actions are simple but involve some personal sacrifice, with becoming a mentor among the other challenges.
In addition to each challenge, there are daily reflections from contributors like Krish Kandiah, Rob Parsons and Russ Bravo.
"The idea behind 40acts is simple," says Debbie Wright, head of content at Stewardship.
"Lent marks a pivotal point in the history of the church, when Jesus prepared to give himself up as a sacrifice for all mankind. Traditionally we mark Lent by giving something up, but what if it could be more than that? What if Lent was a preparation for a lifetime of big-heartedness?"
She continues: "Small acts of generosity, performed by thousands of Christians across the UK, have the power to make a big change to our communities, to our churches and ultimately, to our world."
Participants can sign up to 40acts via 40acts.org.uk and will receive daily 40acts challenges via email from 13 February to 30 March. Challenges will also be posted on the 40acts website on a daily basis.
Free resource packs are also available for download from the website.

Sampling pump module simplifies gas monitoring in remote areas
New SM100 sampling pump module from General Monitors simplifies gas monitoring for wet wells, aluminum smelting, emissions monitoring of soil samples, landfill gas monitoring, printing press operations, and wastewater treatment.
The new SM100 Sampling Pump Module from General Monitors draws combustible or toxic gases at 0.05 to 1 LPM from monitored areas to a gas detector, making it easier and cost effective to measure potentially hazardous gases in areas that are too remote, inaccessible, or too cold, hot, or wet for direct sensor monitoring.
The user-friendly SM100 Sampling Pump Module supplies gas for up to three gas detectors, which is useful formonitoring multiple gases in a single line. The SM100 features a low flow indicator, which informs the end user if flow is insufficient for gas detection. It also includes a trouble relay thatprovides a local signal indication of the low flow condition.
The SM100 Sampling Pump Module reduces plant operating costs by simplifying operation and maintenance. Its rugged design and 316-stainless steel construction make it suitable for gas detection service in a variety of harsh industrial environments. Areas particularly suited for monitoring with the SM100 include ducts carrying combustible or toxic gas, wet wells, sewage dryers, printing drying ovens, and storage tanks.
The SM100 is available in two configurations, an aspirated model that is used with a compressed air source and a DC pump module. The aspirated model is designed for use with instrument grade aspirator air, up to a max aspirator pressure of 30 psig (206 kPa).
The SM100 operates at a wide temperature range of -4 F to +131 F (-20 C to +55 C) and at a humidity range of 15-95% RH, non-condensing. Its enclosure is C-UL-US approved and designed for use in Class I, Div. 1, Groups A, B, C & D.
