Ever since their second single, "Lips of an Angel" hit the airwaves, Hinder has been ripping up the charts on a weekly basis while out on tour. After being certified twice platinum in United States, Hinder's appeal as one of the more popular up and coming rock bands couldn't be questioned. With their hectic tour schedule in full swing and the band hard at work writing their follow-up album, Hinder guitarist Mark King took time out from life on the road to talk about the band's multi-platinum success, how the tour is shaping up, and their approach to music in general.JUICY BANDS: What is in Hinder's bus rider right now?MARK: That's a good question. Well, we actually have a Jager [meister] machine now, so we don't have that in there anymore. Since we're endorsed by them, we're pretty spoiled. We've got vodka and Captain Morgan, two cases of beer and some water. We took all the food off our rider to add more booze.JUICY BANDS: You recorded your EP with Brian Howes in Vancouver back in 2004. What was it like to go back there and sell out the recent show?MARK: Very rewarding, for sure. Vancouver, I forget how much I love that city until we go back every time. I just absolutely love it there. It's very cool, but you get kind of nervous on shows like that, because they know the music. They know every bit about it, so playing in front of B. Howes is kind of nerve-wracking sometimes.JUICY BANDS: How did you go from selling a few thousand copies of the Far From Close EP to signing with Universal Records and releasing a multi-platinum album?MARK: We recorded our pre-production there in Vancouver in 2004 and it just happened to be that Chief, the tour manager of Nickelback, heard it and he really liked it. He was looking for some bands to manage and we hit it off with him, so he is now our manager. Once that happened, we played three showcase shows in Oklahoma City, and had a bidding war on us from a few different labels and it just happened to be that Tom Mackay came from Universal. We hit it off with him and shared the same vision, so once we signed with them, we were in the studio a couple months later back in Vancouver at the Armory. We were there for two months doing it, then we've been touring non-stop ever since. Once "Lips of an Angel" hit the airwaves, I think a lot of people can relate with that song lyrically, and it's been a while since there's been a ballad like that, so people just kind of latched on to that. Once that hit, the record sales have just been out of sight for us. It just blows my mind. We're double-platinum in the States, platinum in Canada, and that's the short story of how we've been doing things.JUICY BANDS: I've heard the band's goal is to bring back the rock of the '80s.MARK: Yeah, totally. I think that once the '90s hit, the grunge thing happened and everyone got depressed, so it was cool to be unhappy, unlike the '80s, when it just a party and rock 'n' roll. I think hip hop came in and stole that party from rock 'n' roll. That's where the fun has been for a while, and we just want it back. We want rock 'n' roll to be fun again.JUICY BANDS: How much of your personal lifestyle changes when you want to bring the rock of the '80s back?MARK: [laughs] We probably drink a little bit more than we used to, but we drink a lot, too. We just like having a good time, party with anyone, everyone's welcome. I don't think we've really changed a whole lot, probably just drink a little bit more.JUICY BANDS: Extreme Behavior is your first full-length album, and you're working on a follow-up that may come out later this year. Are you guys writing new material while you are touring, or do you try to focus on one thing at a time?MARK: Definitely, we are writing all the time. We've got the acoustic guitars in the bus. We just pull them out of the junk box anytime the inspiration comes, something will happen between us. We actually just got a keyboard on the bus now, and I'm stoked about that. Yeah, we're always writing on the road, definitely always getting ready to rock and roll for the night.JUICY BANDS: Do you have any formulas, patterns or superstitions that you follow when writing?MARK: Not really; you just write what you know. For us, we start with the acoustic guitar. If it turns out that it's a good song with just acoustic guitar and vocals, nothing else, no production on it, it's going to be a good song. If it's not, if you have to add production to it to make it a good song, it's not a good song to start with. That's what we go with.JUICY BANDS: You've been touring with big name bands and smaller bands as well. What band or artist surprised you the most when you met them in real life?MARK: That's a good question. I'd say probably Aaron Lewis from Staind, because he's from that darker era of music of the late '90s. He's just the funniest dude ever. He's loving life now, as opposed to what it sounded like he was going through writing the album. It was just very cool, because I own every Staind album, and it's so weird to get to share stages with guys like that. He'd probably be the one that surprised me the most. Usually, the guys in bigger bands don't hang as much, but he was with us all the time. On our bus, the party was always on after the show and he was always there with us, unless he had a kick-ass dressing room. He's like, "Party's in my dressing room tonight, guys, let's do it." That was very cool to meet him.JUICY BANDS: What albums do you listen to on the tour bus as you travel from gig to gig?MARK: We listen to a lot of the old school Motley Crue, Guns 'n' Roses, a little Bon Jovi. As a collective whole, that's what we listen to together, for sure. All of us have our own different things, like I'm really into Binfold and piano stuff like that.JUICY BANDS: How about a few guilty pleasures when it comes to your own musical tastes?MARK: I think everyone knows we all have different musical tastes. Mike's the "emo" guy and Cody loves country. Austin loves old school Michael Jackson and Blower is totally a metal head. Me, I'm kind of a pop nerd, like Billy Joel and stuff like that. We all definitely come from different musical tastes. I grew up on stuff like The Beach Boys. My dad had all those old records like that, so I whip those out. That's where my musical stylings come from. I was always into harmonies an such, so Beach Boys, I love that stuff.JUICY BANDS: What has been the biggest difference between what you thought touring would be like and what touring is really like?MARK: [laughs] You know, at first, I thought it was going to be a hotel room every night, a shower every day, and we're going to be spoiled. Don't get me wrong, we are spoiled, but we don't get...we go days sometimes without showering. That was kind of a shock for me, and we rarely get a hotel room. We usually just get it if we're in dire need of a shower. We never, ever sleep in a hotel room. Other than that, we get to play a rock 'n' roll show every night, so it's a lot of fun. We're very blessed.JUICY BANDS: How do you feel about fans that download your tracks off the Internet rather that going out and buying your album?MARK: You know, I don't really care for it. I don't like it, but I understand. I was a broke dude, too, a few years ago. As long as they're listening to our music, that's cool for us, for sure. As long as we're still making money at the end of the day, I don't care that much, but if it interferes with me making money, if I go broke and people are downloading it, then it'll affect me, I guess. Until then, I guess I'm alright with it.JUICY BANDS: For your show in Seattle, you're meeting up with Finger Eleven. With the many different bands you join up with on tour, how does it change each show for you?MARK: Our show will always be the same. We'll do what we do, but it's very cool to get to play with new bands. I don't think any of us have even seen Finger Eleven in concert, and this is our first night with them, and that'll be cool. We all love live music, so getting to see a new band is awesome, but for our show, it's doesn't change. I guess I really don't think about that aspect of it.JUICY BANDS: Since you're doing a ton of interviews and getting the same questions over and over, are there any you want to be asked that no one ever asks you?MARK: One question that I think I like the most from any interview was, "If you could have an all-star band, who would all the members of that be?" That was the coolest question ever, because it really made us all think. The thing was, you had to be in the band, and it wouldn't be an all-star band if I had to be in it.JUICY BANDS: So, how did you answer that? Who would be in your all-star band?MARK: It was Dean DeLeo on bass, he used to be with STP and is now with Army of Anyone. The drummer would be Dave Grohl and for guitar we'd have Slash, and we'd also have Daniel Johns from Silverchair. He'd be the singer and the rhythm guitarist. I don't know if this would work, but we'll throw in Fiona Apple on piano and to sing the back-up harmonies and stuff. That'd be wicked. I don't know how that'd work, but I'd love to see it.JUICY BANDS: You guys are heading off to Europe in March. You must be stoked for that?MARK: Yeah, dude. None of us have ever been. We're all so stoked. I don't even know what to expect. You might never see us again.JUICY BANDS: Since the band has a Wikipedia page, a MySpace account, and a website, do you communicate a lot with the online fan base?MARK: Definitely. If nothing else, we just post something on our website from time to time, saying thank you, because I'm still such a fan of music. I remember going to the Weezer website, or whoever I was into at that time, and if someone posted something, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I try to do that as well, but it's still pretty surreal to me that I'm in a position that I can do that. We definitely all try as much as we can, because if it wasn't for our fans, we wouldn't be here. We try to do what we can.JUICY BANDS: Do you get to use your artistic side and provide input into your music videos or did you have a say in picking the woman on your album cover?MARK: Yeah, definitely. We told Universal the idea that we wanted, and they came with a bunch of pictures, which are probably still stored away on our bus somewhere. It was funny, the picture that we went with at first was that exact picture, but she had a black bra and panties on. We're like, "Hmm, can we try this in red?" They just went on the computer and switched up and it was like, "Yes, hands down that's the one to go with." We definitely get input on everything that happens with our career.JUICY BANDS: Did you make a New Year's resolution this year?MARK: [laughs] Not a serious one. I told myself I wasn't going to drink as much, but that's not really happening.

How did you come to write your first co-authored novel?
Co-author a novel with a NASCAR driver?
I wasn't sure if it could be done, but it sounded like an adventure.
I met race car driver Adam Edwards, my Faster Pastor co-author, at a Bristol event, when he bought a copy of St Dale, my NASCAR homage to The Canterbury Tales, and offered to give me technical advice on an future projects.
Adam became my crew chief for Once Around the Track; in it he is character Tony Lafon. He gave me my first ride-along in a race car at Lowes Motor Speedway: 170 mph, with me in a fire suit and helmet watching the wall come up in front of us only inches away. Trusting him to that extent required only a little less faith than committing to co-author, which I had never done before.
Adam did some public appearances with me for Once Around the Track, and he had written impressive drafts of action scenes, so one day I suggested that we try to co-author a novel. I had an idea that involved his field of expertise– teaching middle-aged guys how to drive a race car.
"I'll write the first thousand words, and e-mail it to you, and you write the next thousand." I thought, "If he doesn't do his thousand words, we'll just forget the whole thing." But he did it!
We wrote Faster Pastor in ten months, placed it with Ingalls Publishing Group, and now the real adventure begins
How did you come to return to continuing the Ballad series?
Truly creative people, those who practice their craft with artistic vision instead of to make a fast buck, occasionally leave the safe, well-worn path that made them famous to try some new endeavor, just to keep their talent fresh or to explore new possibilities. In 2002 I did that. Instead of the expected Ballad novel, I wrote St. Dale, a modern version of The Canterbury Tales set in NASCAR. It won a Library of Virginia award; the Best Appalachian Novel Award; got me invited to the White House; and gave me wonderful adventures and the best friends I've ever had.
With The Devil Amongst the Lawyers, set at a trial in the Virginia Blue Ridge in 1935, I return to the Ballad novels, because I wanted to talk about what happens when the media stereotypes a culture in order to sensationalize a story and thus to sell newspapers. I write about what interests me, when I find I have something worth saying. I am pleased and grateful that there is so much interest in my Ballad novels. I hope that, besides telling a good story in those works, I can shed light upon some of the cultural issues that concern me. In The Devil Amongst the Lawyers, I found a story I wanted to tell.
Sharyn McCrumb is an award-winning Southern writer, best known for her Appalachian "Ballad" novels and for "St. Dale." Forthcoming novels are "The Devil Amongst the Lawyers" (Thomas Dunne, 2010) and "Faster Pastor" (Ingalls Publishing Group, 2010),the latter co-authored by NASCAR driver Adam Edwards. In 2008 Sharyn McCrumb was named a "Virginia Woman of History" for Achievement in Literature. http://www.sharynmccrumb.com

Ling was a fictional spy working for MI6 and she was also a character in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice played by Tsai Chin. She is seen only in the pre-credit sequence.
Film biography
Ling appears at the beginning of the film, in bed with Bond, under the sheets, somewhere in Hong Kong. The two argue because the taste of the Chinese is different from all other women. At one point, she leaves Bond in bed and gets up, twisting a switch on the wall, which makes the bed immediately close into the wall in an upright position, taking 007 together. This is the password for that two armed men enter the room and metralhem bed on the wall, apparently killing 007.
Behind the scenes
Tsai Chin, who played Ling, later appeared in the 2006 version of Casino Royale.

Still impressed with the Sigma 18-35
I have to say, the more I use it and get to know the lens, the more I am impressed with what the Sigma 18-35 F/1.8 can do.
I will admit that I still need to take a little more time and fine tune the focusing using the USB dock, but what I have dialed in so far is working for most situations quite well. I highly recommend investing in the dock and taking a little time to tweak it. It seems its biggest out of the box weakness, as reviews have mentioned, is shooting at infinity versus closer shots requires a much different adjustment value. But that is fixable.
Meanwhile, here are some samples of what I have gotten so far:
All are RAW images processed in LR 5.6. Images haven't been resized, only cropped. Click on them to view them at their original size.
Looking at the photos it looks like compression may have taken a light toll on the images versus what I am seeing in RAW. So keeping that in mind, it should still give you a nice idea of what you can get from the lens.

text: Predictors of Seasonal Influenza Vaccination During PregnancyHenninger, Michelle PhD; Naleway, Allison PhD; Crane, Bradley MS; Donahue, James DVM, PhD; Irving, Stephanie MHSObstetrics & Gynecology: April 2013 - Volume 121 - Issue 4 - p 741–749 doi: 10.1097/AOG.0b013e3182878a5a Original Research Abstract In Brief Author Information Article Outline OBJECTIVE: Although pregnant women are a high-priority group for influenza vaccination, vaccination rates in this population remain below recommended levels. This prospective cohort study followed a group of pregnant women during the 2010–2011 influenza season to determine possible predictors of vaccination. METHODS: Participants were 552 pregnant women who had not already received the influenza vaccine at the time of enrollment. Women completed a survey assessing knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about vaccination (based on the Health Belief Model) by telephone and were then followed to determine vaccination status by the end of the 2010–2011 influenza season. RESULTS: Forty-six percent (n=252) of the women were vaccinated, and 54% (n=300) remained unvaccinated after enrollment in the study. Few baseline characteristics, with the exception of study site, month of enrollment, and maternal ethnicity, were predictive of vaccination status. Even after adjusting for significant baseline characteristics, we found that at least one item from each domain of the Health Beliefs Model was predictive of subsequent vaccination. Specifically, women who perceived they were susceptible to influenza, that they were at risk of getting seriously ill from influenza, that they would regret not getting vaccinated, and who trusted recommended guidelines about influenza vaccination during pregnancy were more likely to get vaccinated. Women who were concerned about vaccine side effects were less likely to get vaccinated. CONCLUSION: Trust in recommendations, perceived susceptibility to and seriousness of influenza, perceived regret about not getting vaccinated, and vaccine safety concerns predict vaccination in pregnant women. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II Trust in recommendations, perceived susceptibility to and seriousness of influenza, perceived regret about not getting vaccinated, and vaccine safety concerns predict vaccination in pregnant women.

Abstract MATERIALS AND METHODS RESULTS DISCUSSION REFERENCES Pregnant women are at increased risk for severe influenza-related complications and hospitalizations1–7 and are a priority group for seasonal influenza vaccination during pregnancy.8,9 Before the 2009 outbreak of novel influenza A (H1N1) virus, vaccination coverage in pregnant women ranged from less than 10% to 33%.10–13 Since 2009, vaccination coverage rates have increased to approximately 50%12,14,15 but still fall well below the recommended target of 80%.16 The Health Belief Model identifies factors predictive of health behavior change and has been shown to predict a diverse range of health behaviors such as contraceptive use,17 breast self-examination,18 cervical cancer screening,19 and receipt of influenza vaccination in children, the elderly, and adults with asthma.20–22 Health Belief Model factors associated with higher vaccination rates during pregnancy include recommendations from a health care provider, perceived effectiveness of influenza vaccinations, and perceived risk of influenza infection.6,12,15,23–27 Other factors associated with increased vaccination rates include higher maternal age, higher education and socioprofessional levels, being in late pregnancy at the time of vaccination, and history of prior seasonal influenza vaccination.15,24–26,28,29 Factors often associated with lower vaccination rates during pregnancy include black or Hispanic race or ethnicity; perception that the vaccine had not been adequately tested; concerns about vaccine effects on maternal or fetal health; and lack of knowledge about influenza risk during pregnancy, benefits of vaccination, or where to get vaccinated.6,24,26,27,30–32 The objective of this prospective cohort study was to follow a group of pregnant women throughout the 2010–2011 influenza season to determine possible predictors of seasonal influenza vaccination. We hypothesized that Health Belief Model factors would predict influenza vaccination rates even after controlling for the influence of demographic and maternal factors such as higher maternal age, later gestational age, and race or ethnicity. Back to Top | Article Outline MATERIALS AND METHODS The Kaiser Permanente Northwest and Marshfield Clinic institutional review boards reviewed and approved this study protocol. Pregnant women were recruited as part of a larger study investigating the safety of trivalent influenza vaccination during pregnancy. Women were enrolled and surveyed before vaccination decision-making and subsequent vaccination status was confirmed using their medical record. Influenza vaccination is strongly encouraged at prenatal appointments. Most pregnant women at Kaiser Permanente Northwest receive their shots at vaccination clinics, typically offered during October of each year. At Marshfield Clinic, the majority of women receive vaccinations at prenatal visits. However, a small number of women at either study site may have been vaccinated at a nurse treatment room or outside the health care organization (ie, a pharmacy or state health department). Kaiser Permanente Northwest and Marshfield Clinic are health care organizations serving 470,000 patients in Oregon and Washington and 377,000 patients in Wisconsin, respectively. Both study sites participate in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vaccine Safety Datalink, a collaborative effort between Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Immunization Safety Office and 10 managed care organizations.33 Pregnant women scheduled for upcoming prenatal visits were identified through their electronic medical record. We recruited potential participants by telephone and asked them to provide verbal consent for study participation. Women completed an 18-item survey by telephone and were then followed through the influenza season to determine actual vaccination status. Surveys were administered by telephone (as opposed to in prenatal clinics) to avoid any potential interference with provision of medical services. Published studies regarding the differences in survey results between telephone compared with in-person surveys have demonstrated that either there are no significant differences between administration methods34–38 or that participants who are interviewed by telephone are actually more forthcoming than when interviewed in person, possibly as a result of increased anonymity or fewer social desirability cues when completing interviews by telephone.39 Participants included 552 pregnant women from Kaiser Permanente Northwest and Marshfield Clinic. Eligibility criteria for participation were as follows: 18 years or older, English-speaking, currently pregnant, less than 36 weeks of gestation, and had not already received influenza vaccination. We limited the study period to October through December 2010 because this is the period of time when influenza vaccinations are traditionally offered in the two participating health care organizations and thus when the majority of women in the sample would have been offered or received vaccination. Demographics, baseline characteristics, and vaccination data were obtained from electronic data extraction of health plan databases and state immunization registries as well as manual chart review. We defined "high-risk for influenza complications" status using electronic medical record data from the year before each influenza season. We categorized women with International Classification of Diseases codes for the following diseases as high risk: chronic cardiac disease, chronic pulmonary disease, chronic renal disease, diabetes mellitus, hemoglobinopathies, immunosuppressive disorders, malignancies, metabolic diseases, liver diseases, and selected neurologic or musculoskeletal conditions. Using chart abstraction data, we also calculated the number of pregnancy risk factors for each participant. These risk factors included: age 35 years or older; history of prior pregnancy complications; history of sexually transmitted disease or human immunodeficiency virus; prepregnancy body mass index (calculated as weight (kg)/[height (m)]2) of 30.0 or above; current multiple gestation pregnancy; smoking, alcohol, or other drug abuse during current pregnancy; and use of specific medications during current pregnancy. Detailed code lists are available by request from authors. We defined gravidity as the cumulative number of pregnancies as assessed and recorded in the electronic medical record by health care providers. This count included the pregnancy during the study period and prior pregnancies of any outcome. The Health Belief Model identifies five factors predictive of health behavior change: perceived susceptibility (personal assessment of the risk of getting ill), perceived severity (assessment of the seriousness or consequences of getting ill), perceived barriers (assessment of negative influences related to implementation of the health behavior), perceived benefits (assessment of positive consequences of implementing the health behavior), and cues to action (external influences promoting health behavior). Survey items were developed to assess the major domains of the Health Belief Model and were consistent with questions used in other studies assessing predictors of influenza vaccination.20,24,25 We included items for each of the following domains: perceived susceptibility to influenza (four items), perceived seriousness of getting ill with influenza (two items), potential benefits of influenza vaccination (three items), perceived barriers to vaccination (five items), and cues to action (four items). Each item was read verbatim by the interviewer and participants rated each item on a 5-point scale in which 1="strongly disagree" and 5="strongly agree." Both univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to estimate the association between vaccination status and baseline characteristics as well as survey items endorsed by the participants. Baseline characteristics consisted of sociodemographic (eg, race, ethnicity) and maternal factors (eg, maternal age, gravidity). Records with missing data for any covariates, with the exception of race and ethnicity, were excluded from both univariable and multivariable analyses. In all analyses, less than 5% of records were dropped as a result of missing values. Unknown race and ethnicity were grouped with "other race" and "non-Hispanic ethnicity," respectively, and kept in analyses. We built a multivariable logistic regression model by incorporating all baseline characteristics with univariable χ2P values <.05. We refer to this as "step 1" of the multivariable model. Then, individual survey items with P values <.01 in the univariable analysis were entered into the multivariable model to estimate their association with vaccination while adjusting for the baseline factors. We evaluated each statistically significant survey item in separate models, each time adjusting for baseline characteristics but not the other survey items. We will refer to this group of logistic regression analyses as "step 2" of the model. Back to Top | Article Outline RESULTS Of 875 pregnant women who were contacted and screened eligible for participation in this prospective cohort study, 649 (74%) enrolled and completed the telephone survey. Ninety-seven women (11%) were excluded from the analyses presented in this article because they completed the survey after December 2010, leaving a sample of 552 pregnant women for analyses. Table 1 shows baseline sociodemographic and maternal characteristics. The majority of women (62%) fell in the 26- to 35-year age range (mean age 29 years), 88% were white, and 6% were Hispanic. Eighty-seven percent of women were categorized as having "normal" risk for influenza complications and 46% had no pregnancy risk factors. Most women in our study (61%) initiated prenatal care before 10 weeks of gestation and 55% were classified as having a history of two or fewer pregnancies. Table 1 Of 552 total participants, 252 women (46%) were vaccinated after enrollment and 300 (54%) remained unvaccinated at the end of the study. We found significant differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated participants by study site, month of enrollment, and ethnicity. Vaccination rates were significantly higher at study site 1 (179 of 362 [49%]) than at study site 2 (73 of 190 [38%]). Women who enrolled in the study in October were more likely to be vaccinated (101 of 150 [67%]) than women who enrolled in November or December (41% and 30%, respectively). Finally, although representing a relatively small proportion (6%) of our total population, women of Hispanic ethnicity were more likely to be vaccinated (22 of 34 [65%]) than non-Hispanic women or women of unknown or other ethnicity (44%). Table 2 summarizes the univariable analysis of survey items. Responses were collapsed from five to three response categories both to simplify the table and to avoid reporting statistical differences that were attributable only to difference in the finer gradation (ie, differences only in "agree" compared with "strongly agree"). Table 2-a Table 2-b At least one item from each Health Belief Model domain was predictive of subsequent vaccination. All four "perceived susceptibility" items predicted vaccination status with unvaccinated women being significantly less likely to perceive themselves as susceptible to influenza infection. Only one of the "perceived seriousness" items predicted vaccination status: vaccinated women were more likely to perceive themselves at risk of getting seriously ill with the flu. All three of the "perceived benefits" items predicted vaccination status with unvaccinated women less likely to worry or regret their decision not to get vaccinated. Three of the five "perceived barriers" items predicted vaccination status. Unvaccinated women expressed more concern about vaccine side effects and were more likely to believe that the flu shot could give them the flu. Only one of the four "cues to action" items predicted vaccination status. Vaccinated women were significantly more likely to trust guidelines recommending that pregnant women be vaccinated. The cue to action item related to health care provider recommendation for vaccination was marginally significant but did not meet our threshold (P<.01) for inclusion in the multivariable analysis. Table 3 shows results of multivariable analyses. We entered baseline characteristics with significant univariable results (study site, appointment date used for recruitment, and Hispanic ethnicity) in step 1 of the model. Study site was no longer significant in the multivariable model. We entered survey items with significant univariable results in step 2 of the model (individual models for each item). All but one survey item ("I get sick with the flu more easily than other people my age") retained significance after controlling for the effects of baseline characteristics. Table 3 Back to Top | Article Outline DISCUSSION This study evaluated possible predictors of seasonal influenza vaccination, including knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of pregnant women. The vaccination rate in our study population as a whole was 46%, which is consistent with other recently published vaccination rates.12,14,15 We found that women who were surveyed earlier in influenza season were significantly more likely to be vaccinated than women surveyed later in the season. By design, we only included women who were unvaccinated at the time of enrollment; women who enrolled later in the flu season may have already made a decision not to be vaccinated by the time we recruited them into the study. Previous studies have generally concluded that black and Hispanic women are less likely to get vaccinated than other racial or ethnic groups. However, at least one study (Henninger ML, Crane B, Naleway A. Trends in influenza vaccine coverage in pregnant women, 2008\x{2013}2012. Permanente J 2012) has demonstrated large increases in vaccination coverage in both black and Hispanic pregnant women over several recent influenza seasons. In the current study, we observed that Hispanic women were significantly more likely to be vaccinated than non-Hispanic women or women of unknown or other ethnicity. There were no other significant differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated women in terms of maternal age at enroll>ment, race, influenza risk status, pregnancy risk factors, gestational age at initiation of prenatal care, or gravidity. Results of multivariable analysis of survey items suggest that pregnant women who decided to get the influenza vaccine during the 2010–2011 season were more likely to perceive themselves as being at risk of serious influenza and were more likely to trust guidelines recommending vaccination for pregnant women. Pregnant women who opted not to vaccinate were less likely to perceive themselves as susceptible to influenza, were less likely to worry about their decision not to get vaccinated, were more likely to worry about vaccine side effects, and were more likely to believe the flu shot could give them the flu. One potential limitation of studies to date is that they have focused on H1N1 vaccination during the 2009 pandemic and, therefore, may not be generalizable to vaccination behavior during a "typical" influenza season. Furthermore, women in these studies were often interviewed retrospectively after vaccination, during the postpartum period, or both, and in most cases vaccination status was defined by participant self-report. Compared with previous research in this area, our study is unique because of its prospective cohort design, because we were able to evaluate predictors of seasonal influenza vaccination compared with evaluating only pandemic H1N1 influenza vaccination and because vaccination status was confirmed by electronic medical record compared with only self-report. One potential limitation of the current study is that women who are members of integrated care organizations may not be representative of the general population of pregnant women. Furthermore, our population was predominantly white and non-Hispanic, suggesting that findings related to race and ethnicity in particular should be interpreted with caution. Finally, because we limited the study period to October through December, we may have excluded minority women who opted to receive the vaccine before October. Our findings suggest that the Health Belief Model may offer a useful framework for educating health care providers to help them better understand predictors of vaccination and to help them counsel patients to overcome misperceptions about vaccination. The following clinical strategies may be particularly helpful: educating pregnant women about their increased risk for influenza and potential seriousness of illness, educating women about potential side effects of vaccination and specifically stating that the flu shot does not cause the flu, and clearly stating recommendations for seasonal influenza vaccination for all pregnant women regardless of trimester.Back to Top | Article Outline REFERENCES1.

This Is The Very, Very Weird Grooming Hack That Sorted Out Dev Patel's Oscars Hair
We'll take your word on that, Dev
From lanky, geeky teen to wavy-haired prince of the silver screen, Dev Patel's recent style evolution is nothing short of inspirational. We're welling up just thinking about it.
And if you saw his arrival on the Oscars red carpet last night, then you're no doubt feeling very jealous of his bouncy, bountiful mane, and wondering how you can replicate it yourself.
Well, we've got the answer for you right here.
Last week, when speaking to Vulture about his newfound reputation as a grooming goliath, Patel admitted that his routine is a little stranger than we could ever have expected.
"If I told you my hair tip, you'd laugh," Patel, 26, told Vulture. "It's Cetaphil moisturiser. After I finish moisturizing my face, I rub the rest of it in my hair."
Well there you go. The elixir behind Patel's luscious locks have been under our noses the whole time (if you've got a skin complaint, that is).

Now it is time to create some label. Name label with slashes (/) to make it the child of another. As example, let's say you wanted to create a simple hierarchy with a "Home" label, and inside it a "Members" and a "Jobs" label. Just create three labels with the following names:
If you want, you can then create "Home/Members/Kids," "Home/Pets," etc.
In Gmail blog official said that :
You can create complex hierarchies of labels if that's the way you like to organize your mail, and you can expand/collapse labels to save space. You'll always be able to tell whether a given label contains unread messages in its collapsed child labels by looking at whether it's bold or not.Read more tweaking at Gmail blog.

Turn an easy DIY Lego table into a quiet calm down space for kids!
Do you have a child that sometimes needs a space where they can be alone or refocus their energy into something else? Then this Lego Calm down corner is perfect for you! Follow our tutorial below to easily make your own DIY Lego table! It's fail proof!
Affiliate links provided for your convenience, see my disclosure for more info.
My five year old sometimes needs to step away from whatever is going on and have a quiet area to get her emotions under control. She has sensory issues and sometimes she will get upset and can not calm herself down without being removed from the situation. In an effort to cut back screen time and avoid heavy use of her tablet, which was her go-to quiet activity for awhile, we decided to make a DIY Lego table and set it up as a calm down corner in her room.
DIY Lego Calm Down Corner for Kids
Wondering what a calm down corner is? A calm down corner is an area separate from everything that is going on in your home or classroom with simple activities that encourage kids to redirect their feelings. It provides a safe place for kids to relax, focus on something else, and calm down. A place where kids can process upsetting events and learn important self-calming skills.
We don't use the calm down corner as a traditional time-out spot. It's not for everyday behavioral issues. It's a quiet space for kids that are very upset or acting out aggressively, kids who cannot calm themselves back down or redirect their behavior into something else within the current environment.
Set up your DIY Lego table (our DIY Lego Table tutorial is below) in a quiet area that is separate from the busy activity areas in your home. A place where your child can be away from other things going on.
When kids get worked up and upset it's hard for them to focus on what you are saying. They also can't always find a safe or healthy way to deal with that anger or sadness so instead they may act out or throw a tantrum. Having them step away from the situations and into a neutral area like a calm down center where they can focus on building bricks can help them calm down and regain control over their body and emotions.
Once they have calmed down then you can talk with them about what happened and how to handle those issues better in the future. This calm down spot helps kids learn to self-regulate and recognize it's ok to step away when you are upset.
As you can see in the photo above, we use a sand timer for our Lego calm down area. You can buy them in many different time increments (from 1 to 10 minutes) but for my Kindergartner we use a five minute sand timer in our calm down corner. We only do with my daughter because she's very visual and she needs to know that there is a transition coming. That she can move away from the calm down corner (if she wants and if she is calmer) when the timer runs out.

How to Make a DIY Lego Table for Kids
- Old Table
- Peel & Stick Baseplates
Use whatever old tables or kids table you have. For our DIY LEGO Table I use an old Stuva bench from Ikea. We had previously used it as a toy box but it's the perfect height for my five year old and the toy box drawer broke so I re-purposed it.
Measure out your table and then grab a pack of peel-and-stick baseplates.
I love our baseplates from Creative QT! They are so easy to use and they are more affordable than other name brand ones but yet the quality is the same. These baseplates are compatible with all major brands of building blocks, like Mega Bloks and Lego. You can also use both Duplo and traditional LEGO sets, which means even my younger kids can use them with our Duplo blocks.
It's extremely easy to attach these baseplates. Just measure and mark the area, peel off the adhesive, and stick. That's it! Your DIY LEGO table is done! These baseplates use construction grade adhesive which means no matter how your kids try, they won't be able to pull them off.
The best part about using these is that you can arrange them however you want. My daughter wanted her Lego table to have gaps so that she could use them for roads, water, or other ideas she had so we set ours up with three panels all spread apart.
Want a entire table covered? Just peel and stick on the whole surface. Want a custom sized table covered? Creative QT also includes instructions on how to easily cut the baseplates into custom sizes.
When your done place it in a quiet corner or room with a bucket of Legos and you are ready! It took me under 10 minutes to stick my baseplates on and move the table! Super quick and efficient!
What would you do with your DIY Lego table?

One of the greatest inspirations in my world of literature and understanding of the written word came in the form of my grandmother. I remember many times sitting with Grandma Potts when I was a child and listening to her talk about writing poetry. For her the flow of the written word and the rhyme and verse was an organic process. One of my favorite memories of my grandmother was sitting with her on the front porch of my childhood home watching the sunset. We had pulled up two chairs and relaxed as we watched the light blue sky slowly turn pink, orange and red. The clouds floated across the sky like puffs of smoke slowly painting the horizon. Nothing can compare to the awe and silence a perfect sunset can bring to my heart. My grandmother and I didn't speak for the entire time the sun was going down. We didn't need to. The sunset said everything that needed to be said. Every time I see a sunset, I remember the time I spent with my grandmother and the perfect communication we had between God, nature and a woman and a child. Sometimes words are not necessary. A sunset fills me with the inspiration of the peaceful moment with my grandmother and I can feel the words flow through her to me.
Take advantage of those moments of inspiration. For you it may not be sunsets and grandmothers ringing the words in your heart. Your inspiration may come from dark nights with full moons and shadows, or it may come in the form of bright sunshine filtering in through green leaves. Maybe your inspiration comes from a dirty, gritty city street, opening doors into the dreams and lives of people you have never met. Journey outside of yourself and your mundane existence and find your inspiration and remember, write down the messages as they arrive.
When I was a young author I was told an artist must suffer and be full of angst in order to be produce beauty, but is this true? Can't beauty come from a beautiful place as well? I know I have suffered and I have experienced angst. Every person in existence has experienced the darkness. We wouldn't be able to appreciate the light if we didn't know darkness. Oh, don't get me wrong, my life hasn't been all bad. I mean, I don't suffer from a horrible disease. I haven't lost a child of my own. I don't have any debilitating addictions. I have a good career. So far life has been pretty fair for me. Once, in an acting class, I performed a scene from Trojan Women. In this scene I played a woman who was lamenting the death of her infant son at the hands of the Greeks. I poured my heart into the scene and felt I had done a beautiful job. Another woman also played the scene. Afterwards, when everyone was discussing the scenes, she said I could never do as good of a job as she did because I had never given birth to a child and so could never imagine losing one. My fellow classmates were up in arms over that comment. Not only did they not believe her statement, but they defended my performance vehemently. I could imagine the pain because everyone experiences loss and suffering, everyone feels pain and everyone can emote that sorrow. I have used this experience as inspiration for my writing. I don't need to suffer to understand the angst of my characters; I just need to be able to empathize with those who suffer.
I've heard it all: You're too young. You haven't experienced enough to be a good writer. Science Fiction is not real writing. In order to be a good writer you need to live a tortured existence. You can't write about it unless you experience it. Well, I'm calling crap on all of this. I am a real writer. I write Science Fiction and Fantasy and my stories are good and they are classic. I have had bad things happen in my life, some of them have been very bad, and I have had good things happen in my life. I started writing when I was very young and some of those stories I wrote were great. I plan on writing until I am very old and those stories will also be great. Age doesn't matter when it comes to writing stories. Genre doesn't matter when it comes to telling stories. I've read great stories from eleven year-olds all the way up to a hundred and eleven year-olds. You can write great stories too, no matter your age or your life experience. There are plenty of people out there who tell me they want to write a book. They have a story they want to tell. My advice to them is for them to write. Put aside the excuses and the self-doubt and just write the story. My books come from inside of me. Your stories need to come from inside of you. Just write.
Find how, where and when your best writing happens. My best writing happens at night, usually between 1:00 and 4:00 in the morning. I sit in my office with my computer in my lap and the TV on some late night/early morning drivel. My husband is usually asleep and has been for hours and I should be in the bed beside him. But, instead of sleeping, I write. I always find my best inspiration in these early morning hours. Everything is quiet, there are no bills to pay, no pressure to cook dinner, do laundry and dishes or any of those other mundane chores that weigh us down so much. I become a Master Writer in these hours.
I would love to live in the hours between midnight and five in the morning. When I was working in nursing homes and hospitals I always loved to work the night shift. Everything interesting that could happen did happen during these hours. This is when ghosts would walk the floors and make their presence known. Residents would wake and wander the halls or call for help. Staff would tell their life stories, and yes, some of those staff members inspire characters in my novels. God would call some of his children home during these hours and we would witness this next step in the journey into eternity. These were the hours when miracles happen. These are my hours of inspiration.
Find your inspiration. There are many methods to opening yourself up to inspiration. It is important to find what works for you. When I write I need to eliminate all distractions. I write best in a quiet room where I can close off from the distraction of the world. Whether it is silence or music or family or nature, your inspiration is out there. Take the leap of faith into the unknown. Explore. Find what makes you a writer.
When it's time to tell your story don't concern yourself with all the grammar spelling and punctuation. Don't let your Eighth-grade English teacher intimidate you. Writing a story is a process involving many steps. Finding inspiration is just the first step in the long journey. Write what inspires you and the rest will follow. Most of writing happens in the rewrite anyway. Allow yourself to get lost in the inspiration. There is a healing and a joy that comes from writing down your story. Even if the story never sees the inside of a publisher's printer you know it is out of you and is now part of the literary world. Writing great stories crosses genres and literary form. The words speak to all of us, no matter how we define our writing style. Don't apologize for what you write, even to yourself.

Graham Holley, the chief executive of the Training and Development Agency, called for more to be done to ensure that highly qualified teachers work in schools in disadvantaged areas to help tackle the problem.
"The performance of a school and a child in it is highly linked to social class," he said. "If you turn the clock back on pupils in school today 15 years and predict their outcomes from where they were born, you can do it.
"We need to change that. It's not something this government has done. It's not something the last government has done. It's something that has been there since the Second World War and probably even before that."
Mr Holley said one way to attract the best teachers to schools with underachieving pupils was to offer them "golden handcuffs", a monetary incentive to keep them in a school for a certain period of time.
Another initiative was offering graduates with a maths or science degree an "enhancement" course where they spend six months topping up their skills to become science teachers while being paid a bursary of £225.
He said in a newspaper interview that 30 per cent of state secondary schools were "arguably still performing unsatisfactorily" but refused to describe them as "failing".
"I'm not saying they are failing and I'm not saying that these schools all have a challenging intake. There are some schools whose results do not look bad on paper that are complacent and coasting and they're not doing as well with their children as are schools in very similar circumstances.
"We have to ask why is that? It is not down to individual teachers' competence. It is down to they way they are managed."
He also said that schools needed more money to provide services such as breakfast clubs and homework clubs to help socially deprived children.
"Children are turning up to school, cold hungry and not in the right frame of mind to learn," he said. "There also may be nowhere for them to do homework at home – their parents may be working or a single parent could be pre-occupied with other things."

Holiday shopping is in full swing. Children have made their wish lists and technology items are often at the top. But what if parents traded one electronic game for an old fashioned board game? Imagine the change it could have on an entire family.
When family members are connected to individual electronic devices from computers to smart phones, the communication in a family breaks down. Texting replaces face to face conversations and the din of action role playing games discourages any conversation between friends or family.
By adding a traditional board game to your holiday gift list will give your family the opportunity to spend quality time together. The added bonus is knowing that your children are learning life-long skills that include basic math and reading but also key problem solving skills.
Scholastic.com reports that playing board games with your children is a perfect way to spend time together and build learning skills at the same time. Children want and need to spend time with their parents. Time to talk, share, laugh and learn is a wonderful way to create life-long family memories.
When young children are learning to play games like Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, or Guess Who, they are not only learning to follow directions but also improving their letter and color recognition, eye-hand coordination, and shapes.
As children get older, board games provide more opportunities to advance math and reading skills but more importantly, children begin to understand the rules of fair play and develop more social skills. Learning communication skills, boundaries, and gaining a stronger confidence in their abilities are all part of playing board games on a regular basis.
There are specific board games that help children with academic skills that can be purchased through learning or educational companies but the traditional game of Scrabble is perfect to help children develop better spelling skills. For math, try Monopoly (not the electronic version) and maybe have your child be the banker.
Parents who encourage board game nights or afternoons games with their children are providing the quality time that children want to have with their parents. While peer groups have an impact on children, research shows that parents are still the number one influence in children's lives. By taking this time to insist that all electronic devices are shut off and engaging in a fun board game, the parents and children will have the chance to share, bond, and talk.
This year with all the hype and ads promoting every electronic gadget, game, or toy, think about going old school and buying a board game that you loved playing as a child and sharing it with your children. It could bring out the child in you!
Remember, education and prevention are keys to making a difference in our lives.

Packaging design of bag-in-box wine – Jairo – from the winehouse Monte Zovo, located in Veneto in the northeast of Italy. The client wanted a design that communicated italian tradition, credibility, crafts and family. The wine is in a medium price range and the customer wanted a popular expression. We chose to use the photograph of an elderly Italian man's face as the main motif, with painted typography.

You'll get a different cup of coffee from me
I'll be your wedding hitmaker
Movies also deserve to be captured
"I wanted to get married on 6th September but Vojta was already booked for that day even one year in advance! It is pretty visible that he enjoys photographing and gives us great joy with his photographs! Therefore, I will never regret having married 14 days later than originally wished for."
"For my wedding day I voluntarily selected two men - my dream fiancé Patrik and the excellent photographer Vojta. Neither of them disappointed me. It's understandable that I will not recommend the first one any more but if you want to have unusual pictures with the story behind told by the photographer, Vojta is the right choice."
"We all know that Vojta is a fabulous photographer! You may just view several of his pictures. However, the fact that he has a great character has the same or even higher importance. During the photographing session you just feel great while spending time with him which is visible in the pictures, too."
"If you want some photographs, just contact a photographer. If you want to depict splendid moments, contact Vojta."
"Decision to contact Vojta was the second best decision right after the idea to get married. He is a person who has humble attitude towards his craft and is extremely gifted to be able to depict strong emotions - in his original, smart and humorous manner. Thank you, Vojta, for your marvellous wedding photographs!"
"Along with evidently excellent quality of photographs we would like to point out Vojta's excellent human attitude. We did not perceive him as a stranger who had to do his job but as another family member who by coincidence owns photographic tools, can expertly handle them and enjoys doing so. We definitely recommend him."
"We chose Vojta as our wedding photographer for several reasons. There is no need to mention his quality to take beautiful natural photos which do not look fake or artificial. However, I would like to point out his extraordinary empathy, kindness, ability to be fast and calm you down and be always ready. We really appreciated these qualities during our wedding."
I am a photographer who fell in love with human stories. I photograph in order to narrate stories. I narrate stories to give joy.

Euro 2004 Champs Looking to Qualify for South Africa
After a poor performance in the FIFA World Cup qualifying stage, Greece will be looking to the playoff round to qualify. Poor results such as a 2-1 defeat in Greece to the Swiss, and a 1-1 draw against Moldova, will be devastating to any team. Had the Greeks beating the lowly ranked Moldovans , they would have automatically qualified for the World Cup. For the playoff round Greece will be the final ranked team along with France, Russia, and Portugal. Amongst the non-seeded teams will be Slovenia, The Republic of Ireland, Bosnia, and Ukraine. When Greece is on and playing their style of football, none of those four teams will cause any trouble to them, but if they played like they did against Moldova or the Swiss, then it will be another poor result on the shoulder of Greek skipper Otto Rehhagel.
Greece last qualified for the World Cup in 1994.

Rookie Aldon Smith, the No. 7 overall pick, ended the 49ers' exhibition season strong Thursday might against the San Diego Chargers.But Smith could not have done it without the efforts of undrafted rookie defensive lineman Demarcus Dobbs, who finished the game with no tackles and no stats of any kind. (Although replays showed Dobbs was responsible for dislodging the ball from Chargers running back Jordan Todman on a second-quarter fumble.)Despite his lack of mention on the stat sheet, Dobbs had another outstanding game and is likely to have solidified his spot on the 49ers' 53-man roster.Meanwhile, Smith was credited with 2 12 sacks, a team-high seven tackles and four quarterback pressures.REWIND: 49ers progress in exhibition finale
Smith's first sack was recorded after Dobbs shoved Chargers left guard Colin Baxter into Scott Tolzien, causing the quarterback to stumble. Smith swooped in to finish off Tolzien for an 8-yard loss. Dobbs and Smith worked a stunt in which Smith got past Baxter for his second sack. Dobbs was also on the action when Smith and Antwan Applewhite shared a sack in the third quarter."We were both able to get really good pressure," Smith said of Dobbs. "He got pressure inside and I got pressure outside. We're able to meet back there and make some plays."Aldon Smith has yet to work into a starting role. He currently is listed as the backup to veteran Parys Haralson at right outside linebacker.ALEX SMITH TO START: In case you missed it late Thursday, coach Jim Harbaugh completed the formality of declaring Alex Smith as the 49ers' starting quarterback for the regular season.Smith completed 8 of 10 passes for 45 yards, as the 49ers got into the end zone twice in his two series against the Chargers' first-team defense. Smith, however, did not throw a touchdown in the exhibition season.While Smith was on the field, the 49ers converted third-and-3 situations four times. Twice they kept the chains moving with run plays, and twice Smith completed short passes for the necessary yardage.Rookie Colin Kaepernick continued to struggle, as he completed just 3 of 7 passes for 36 yards and two interceptions. Kaepernick threw five interceptions without a touchdown in the exhibition season.HUNTER IMPRESSES: Rookie running back Kendall Hunter is leading the NFL in exhibition rushing with just one game (Raiders vs. Seattle) remaining. Hunter had 231 yards rushing on 35 attempts for a 6.6 average.He appears to have won the job as Frank Gore's backup over Anthony Dixon. Said Harbaugh of Hunter, "He's definitely playing well enough to be the No. 2 back."FAMILY REUNION: Xavier Omon, the fourth-string 49ers running back, had a night he'll never forget. Prior to the game, he met a half-brother he did not know existed until last winter.The half-brother is Ogemdi Nwagbuo. Omon and Nwagbuo share the same biological father, Chris Nwagbuo, who passed away in 2004. They met before the game. And in the fourth quarter on Omon's second carry, they met again when Nwagbuo tackled Omon for a 1-yard gain.Afterward, the embraced once again on the field before entering their respective locker rooms. It was quite a scene. Omon is 5-foot-11, 227 pouds. Nwagbuo is 6-4, 312.
"It was good," Omon said. "It felt normal."BUBBLE BEAUTS: The 49ers have until Saturday at 1 p.m. to delete 27 players from their roster. The 49ers will place tight end Nate Byham on injured reserve. Linebacker Keaton Kristick, who was carted off Thursday night with an apparent left ankle injury, is also a candidate for injured reserve.Harbaugh said he will try to meet with as many of the released players as possible."The choices have to be made," Harbaugh said. "I thought a lot guys made things more difficult tonight. That's the way you want it. There are going to be a lot of people who acquitted themselves really well, and they might not be on the team. I was pleased to see that. I think that showed a lot of fortitude on their parts. I was really proud of our guys."Linebacker Alex Joseph is among the long-shot player who had a standout game. Joseph, a first-year player from Temple who spent time last year on the 49ers' practice squad, recorded three tackles, forced a fumble and had a huge tackle on special teams."He played really well, physical real good football game," Harbaugh said. "He makes it difficult."SITTING OUT: Receiver Michael Crabtree (foot), cornerback Shawntae Spencer (hamstring) and safety Reggie Smith (knee) did not travel to San Diego for the game. Safety Dashon Goldson made the trip but was declared out just before game time with an undisclosed injury.RELATED: 49ers mailbag -- Shawntae Spencer's spot is not slam dunk
CULLIVER'S TRAVELS: Rookie cornerback Chris Culliver, the 49ers' third-round pick, couldn't even remember the last time he felt as if an opposition was targeting him.But it happened Thursday night, when Tolzien went after Culliver repeatedly. Fifth-year receiver Laurent Robinson caught passes of 26 and 37 yards against Culliver in the third quarter.But Culliver made amends when he had tight coverage on a 35-yard pass intended for receiver Seyi Ajirotutu. Cullver made the interception in the end zone."I'm a rookie," Culliver said. "I know they're doing to come at me. I just had to stay in tune to the game and understand what's going on and make some plays, not giving up the deep ball. And if anyone catches the ball, just make the tackle right there on the spot."Culliver will have a spot on the 49ers' 53-man roster, but he might not have much of a role as a rookie. After all, Culliver is learning a new position."I played safety most of my career, and playing safety and corner are different," he said. "I'm learning more and more how to be a corner and how to take calls from other people and dial in. It's different technique."LEE HEALTHY: Andy Lee, who sustained a right hip-pointer in the 49ers' second exhibition game, returned to action Thursday night with just two punts. He hit a 48-yard punt on his first try, but later shanked a 24-yard punt.

Use threshold policies to dynamically balance workload demands
From the developerWorks archives
Date archived: November 29, 2016 | First published: January 11, 2011
Many businesses and government agencies demand cloud services to provide continuous operational availability and security. To make this a reality, they will require a threshold policy on resource management for application testing and production. In this article, the author explains what a threshold policy is and how it can help to balance workload demands dynamically in a cloud environment.
