Comments about The North Face Ashbury Softshell Jacket - Men's:
I tried this jacket on and really wanted it to work for me but I had to return it. I am 6' 200-lbs, Size Large most always fits me perfectly.
I tried on both sizes L & XL. Large felt tight in the shoulders and although XL had a more "roomy" fit, it looked like a trashbag on me. Way too baggy for my liking & the neck was too loose.
So, back to size Large. The fit was perfect along my mid-section & my neck. The material feels GREAT but there was just not enough room in the shoulder area.
Crossing my arms & reaching upwards caused the sleeves to pull back exposing my wrists. The material is stretchy so there is some play to it when moving around, just not enough for my liking.
Other areas to note:
-Pockets are aplenty, easy-to-use zippers.
-No pockets on the inside as noted in item specifics.
-There is a cinch cord in the lower hem that is adjustable on both sides. I was hoping this feature would have been the type that is accessible through the front pockets but it is what it is & does not affect my star-rating.
-The material is water/wind -resistant (REI's "stats" page does not list it as either).
-The hood is removable by zipper, easy on & off.
-Collar gave a "popped" look when the hood was removed, a style that I can not pull off. Since the collar is entirely zippered there is no way to overcome the "popped" look. This would be something I wouldn't mind when wearing the jacket hiking in the forest, 'cause Gray Squirrels aren't critical of what I wear, but there's no way I would wear the jacket like this in public!
-If you plan on wearing this jacket with the zipper all the way down or 1/2 way up, be prepared to sport a 'popped' collar.
With my qualms noted, this doesn't mean it will not be a great fit/purchase for the next person!
For my needs, there are just too many options out there for less cash & a better fit.

Evening Panel Discussion in Iphofen
Ways Out of the Crisis for Smaller Businesses
The Kiel Institute's Club of Sponsors
Evening Panel Discussion
February 23, 2010 in Iphofen
How do the crisis strategies of smaller businesses differ from those of large, international businesses? Are smaller businesses suffering from a credit crunch? Do they need additional support programs? Will short-time allowances suffice to prevent massive layoffs? Would a comprehensive tax reduction package help given the budget situation?
- In its December forecast, the Kiel Institute wrote:
The international financial crisis is not over. As many industrialized countries have problems in their banking sector and high indebtedness of private households, the growth rate of the world economy will be lower than in the years before the crisis over the next years. In addition, Germany is likely to lose international price competitiveness against the countries that have been hit most severely by the crisis and which consequently will have large output gaps, high unemployment and therefore stagnating or falling wage and price levels. Moreover, a number of German banks have lost capital during the crisis and are likely to lose more as insolvencies are likely to rise drastically over the next months. As these banks reduce their lending, business investment will be impaired, although we do not expect an outright credit crunch. Business investment will remain weak as compared with other periods of recovery. All in all we only expect a moderate recovery.
- Prof. Joachim Scheide, Head of the Kiel Institute's Forecasting Center,
- Minister Georg Fahrenschon, Bavarian Minister of Finance,
- Dr. John Feldmann, Board Member at BASF SE and President of the Kiel Institute's Club of Sponsors,
- Heinrich Haasis, President of the German Savings Bank Association,
- Consul Nikolaus Wilhelm Knauf, Co-Owner of Knauf Gips KG, and
- Prof. Dennis J. Snower, President of the Kiel Institute,
Before the panel discussion, Prof. Scheide will give a talk on the current economic outlook for Germany and the world economy. The host for this year's meeting is Knauf Gips KG, in Iphofen, Germany. Manfred Grundke, managing co-owner of Knauf Gips KG, will hold the opening speech. The discussion will be moderated by Prof. Dr. Joachim Scheide.
February 23, 2010, at 6.00 p.m.

Do You Know These People At The Texaco Garage Opening In Towcester
Author: Tom Whittaker | Published: 14th May 2012 14:42 |
The Texaco Garage opening in Towcester, now CGR Car Sales - do you recognise anyone?
Tom Whittaker contacted AboutMyArea/NN12 through Twitter "Don't suppose you or any of your followers would know when this was taken?
Tom followed up with some additional information.
"The photo was found in an album that was unearthed when the garage site opposite the Police station was being cleared (formerly Silverstone Harley Davidson, Silverston Motorcycles, and now in 2012 CGR car sales).
"It's one of 30 of so images that were taken to record the grand opening of the Texaco service station.
"I have digital copies of the other photos and a telegram that was sent by a Mr Russell Glass and Mike Madine to congratulate the staff on the event.
"I was just curious to know more about the images and the people in them.
"I thought it would be of local interest and that people might like to see them as I'm sure that some of the people or their families must still be in the area.
"Also given that the site has changed hands so many times (at least five in my memory) over the years I was amazed that the album had survived, its only a shame the other tenants hadn't added there own entries to it!"

Bernard Phillips is mentioned in the telegram, believe he was/is also the site owner so that would make sense.

Development Delayed / Updates
As what might might be apparent, NDL 1.1 development has been delayed for awhile, I just have not had time to work on it. I will post when I will be ready to do the next big update. Also an issue was discovered in NDL 1.0 on Mac Os X 10.5 where AppleScript errors occur on the opening NDL1.0. I have recently fixed that and will be putting up a patch as NDL 1.0.1 for those who may be effected.

Dear David,
I am saddened and disappointed at the number of ways you and your government have chosen to undermine the traditional family. In your 2010 manifesto you promised positive recognition of families through the taxation system. You have so far failed to honour this promise.
Instead your government embarked on an unfair spending cut by proposing the withdrawal of child benefit from all tax payers subject to the higher, marginal rate of 40% income tax in a way which penalises the traditional family model of one earner and one carer while leaving it possible for couples with nearly double the income to remain eligible. Even with the change announced in the budget this still discriminates against the traditional family. I support the principle that higher rate payers should relinquish this benefit but the anomaly makes it unfair and, in particular, unfair to traditional family units.
But the worst way in which you are attacking the traditional family is through your bizarre attempt to redefine marriage. Why you have chosen to push the Stonewall militant gay agenda is a mystery to me because same sex marriage was not in your manifesto and so far as I can tell from friends in the gay community there is no majority within that minority in favour of trying to make same sex unions or partnerships the same as traditional marriage. Equal yes, same no.
I support these civil unions or partnerships having equal rights to traditional marriage so far as property ownership, legal status, taxation and inheritance rights are concerned but cannot agree that being equal must mean being the same. For two obvious reasons these unions or partnerships are not the same, namely a marriage is about a man and woman joined together for the procreation of children.
What you are doing in attempting to redefine marriage is to undermine and affront the traditional majority to no benefit to the gay and lesbian minority. It does not pass the reasonableness test. What you could do is ensure that equality of rights does exist and remedy a wrong that would not be solved by redefining marriage, namely the unfairness of property and inheritance rules for brothers or sisters living together in a household. Or would you invoke the rules on consanguinity on this point?
I ask you to reconsider your position during this consultation period, take full notice of the points that I have made and apply the tests of common sense and reasonableness that are the safeguard of Conservatives. Should this measure go through it will cause many Conservatives to question their loyalty to a party which is no longer supporting values inherent to the party."
P.S. I have a policy not to sign online petitions. However I have recently signed the Petition for Marriage at http://c4m.org.uk/ because I feel so strongly about this issue. I would encourage anyone of like mind to do the same.

Have you ever been wandering through the library and gazed curiously upon the classroom section of the library's computer lab? You're not alone, so this month I'd like to highlight the features and uses of this area.
First let's talk about the nuts and bolts. The library classroom is equipped with 25 student computers which include headphones at each station. You also have an instructor computer, projection screen, data projector, and a wireless microphone system with surround sound (sorry no Dolby 5.1) should you need a little voice amplification.
Now that we know what's available, I'd like to cover the purpose of the library classroom. In a nutshell, the library classroom is a resource available to any class, but it is primarily used by classes that routinely conduct a lot of research, like the English and humanities courses. Instructors who want their students to be familiar with the various library databases, like the LibGuides for example, or who would like a class provided by the library staff regarding library sources and research in general, can reserve this area by contacting Kathy Park via email or at extension 8201.
If you have any questions regarding the library classroom, you can reach the library circulation desk at extension 8448 or contact Kathy Park directly for reservations. For any questions regarding the technology in the library classroom, contact Instructional Technology at extension 8445.

By Steve DeVane Staff writer
Students at Fayetteville State University will start using a humanoid robot next month to learn computer programming.
Sambit Bhattacharya, a computer science professor, has been using small robots with wheels to teach basic computer programming since 2008. This year, the students will begin using Nao, a humanoid robot that is about 23 inches tall.
Bhattacharya said the robot, which looks and moves like a human, uses cutting edge technology.
"This is one of the humanoid robots used by high-end universities," he said.
In class Monday, Bhattacharya and his graduate assistant, Sean Mobley, demonstrated the robot. When Mobley tapped its forehead, it stood and danced.
Mobley, who graduated from FSU last year and is now working on a master's degree at N.C. State University, said Nao can recognize speech and gestures.
FSU got the robot, which usually costs $20,000, for $13,000 from the company Aldebaran, Bhattacharya said. Part of it arrived in April, and the rest arrived in May, he said.
Adam Baker, a freshman from Charlotte, is excited about being able to program Nao.
"I can't wait to start coding it," he said. "It's so customizable you can do everything with it."
Baker, who wants to design computer games, said he didn't know he would get to work with a humanoid robot so early in his academic career.
"I feel kind of privileged," he said.
Baker said he thinks the computer science class will help him design a "hover board" similar to the one used in the "Back to the Future'' movies. He likes writing the codes for computer programs in the class.
"I love it," he said. "I never leave here bored."
Julian Crews, a freshman from Fayetteville, wants to design video games. He likes how the class lets him study the mathematical and problem-solving aspects of programming.
"I think it's a really interesting class," he said. "I wish it was longer.''
On Monday, the students showed Bhattacharya how they had programmed a robot called "Scribbler" to roll around in certain patterns. Technology similar to that used in cell phones allowed the computer to communicate with the robot.
The robots have digital camera infrared sensors that allow them to avoid obstacles. They also can be programmed to play songs, Bhattacharya said.
Using robots gives the students a hands-on way to learn computer programming, he said.
"The intent is to have them learn computer science in a fun way, much more fun than programming a desktop computer," he said.

Before we begin, we remind you that the opinions expressed on this webcast are solely the views of our guests. They are not necessarily the views of HealthTalk, our sponsors or any outside organization. And, as always, please consult your own physician for the medical advice most appropriate for you. Now here's your host. Kelly:If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer, you are probably all too familiar with those dreaded four words "The cancer has spread." But as advances in cancer treatment continue, people with metastatic cancer are living for longer periods of time. Hello and welcome to this HealthTalk webcast, Beating the Odds: Long-Term Survival with Metastatic Cancer. I'm your host and cancer survivor, Kelly Guenther. Joining us is Deb Violette. Deb is a 10-year cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer and was given a 10 percent chance of living two years. Currently, she is a lung cancer life advocate and also serves as a patient advocate for the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Oncology Board clinical trial in Maine. Welcome, Deb. Deb:Hi, Kelly. Kelly:Hello. Also with us is Cindy Beatty. Cindy was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer in July 2005. She has been beating the odds for over two years. Welcome, Cindy. Cindy:Thank you. Kelly:I would also like to welcome Dr. Michelle Shayne. She is an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York. And we want to welcome you, Dr. Shayne. Dr. Shayne:Thanks for having me. Kelly:Doctor, what is metastatic cancer? Dr. Shayne:As you alluded to, it is cancer that has spread from the site of disease origin. For example in breast cancer, breast cancer can metastasize to or spread to areas such as the lungs, the liver, bones and brain most commonly. Kelly:Is the definition of metastatic cancer the same for all kinds of cancers? Are we always talking about a cancer that has spread to another part of the body? Dr. Shayne:Yes, pretty much yes. Kelly:Can you explain the difference between metastasis and secondary cancer and talk about how these two things are named and why? Dr. Shayne:Secondary cancer is really quite a different phenomenon. That's more a term related to a cancer that arises often secondary to treatment for cancer, for an original cancer, such as sometimes our chemotherapy drugs that are very strong and can be quite toxic to healthy cells as well as the malignant cells can cause a second cancer such as a leukemia to arise years after treatment. So that's a secondary cancer. There can also be second cancers, in other words cancers that are completely different from the original cancer, that have nothing to do with the original cancer. It is just a second, completely unique malignancy. And the difference between those and metastatic cancer is metastatic cancer is really the same type of cancer that originated at that particular site and then spread to a distant part of the body. Kelly:So if a person has got colon cancer and it spreads to the liver, you don't say they have liver cancer, do you? Dr. Shayne:That's right. You do not say that that would be liver cancer. There is a separate entity of liver cancer where the cancer arises within the liver cells, but cancer that spreads from the colon to the liver is metastatic colon cancer involving the liver. Kelly:How does metastasis occur, and what's actually happening in the body when the cancer spreads? Dr. Shayne:Basically, these cells are traveling to other sites. Kelly:And that's literally what's happening? They travel to other sites, and then they start causing damage to cells in the other sites? Dr. Shayne:Yeah. And they have a predilection for specific sites. That's not to say that colon cancer might not travel to other less common areas than what we are speaking about. You mentioned the liver, for example. That's a fairly common place that colon cancer cells like to travel to. They also like to travel to lungs, for example. But particularly in late stage disease, there can be less common sites of involvement as more and more sites become involved. Kelly:Do mets to certain organs or areas of the body have a worse prognosis? Dr. Shayne:Yes. That can vary from cancer to cancer. But in general when organs are involved such as liver, that tends to portend a worse prognosis compared to, say, cancer involving bone. Kelly:And that's because you are so dependent on your organs obviously, yes? Dr. Shayne:Right. And it's all a matter of degree too because if there's a small tumor, say in the liver, that's a metastatic tumor, and it's isolated, then that's a very different situation from a liver that is nearly replaced with tumor. Kelly:So for people living with cancer, are there signs to actually watch for that might indicate the cancer has spread? Dr. Shayne:Sure. There are things like pain, a cough that doesn't go away. I tell my patients that you are human, and you are going to pull a muscle every now and then, and you are going to have aches and pains after doing some heavy lifting. That can happen as part of just living day to day, but when you should start to become concerned and notify your physician is when the problem is worsening and just not going away. So if it's a cough and say it's lingering, and you have gone to your primary care physician, and you have gotten an antibiotic, and it's still lingering, then we really should do some sort of imaging study, at least start with a chest X-ray and possibly even get a scan, a CT scan of the lungs just to make sure that there is nothing going on that's more serious in a person who has got a history of any type of cancer. Kelly:Should somebody be a little more on the cautious side when they are dealing with this? How long should you possibly wait, and is there a rule of thumb as to how long is too long? Dr. Shayne:I think just a couple of weeks. The average pulled muscle should go away after about two weeks or so, and if it's really not going away - but I don't even say wait two weeks. If it's really severe, if it doesn't let a person sleep at night, then it's something to at least call in about and share it with your physician. Kelly:Are there tests that can determine metastasis? And if there are, what kind of tests are there? Dr. Shayne:There are scans, CT scans. There are bone scans, nuclear bone scans. There is imaging for the brain. It really depends on the situation, what you are looking for and what the symptoms are, if any. There are also blood tests that are sometimes followed in certain situations, and there are standards and guidelines that oncologists follow when it's appropriate to do blood testing, when it's inappropriate to do blood testing. But if there is a question, you can always ask the oncologist. Continue Reading...

Police selling off seized property
9:49am Tuesday 18th September 2012 in News
A POLICE force has teamed up with a charity to help it raise funds by selling off found and seized property.
Durham Police are working alongside U-Sell, an eBay trading company set up by the West Middlesbrough Neighbourhood Trust (WMNT).
The initial aim of the online company was to help local people receive cash for unwanted goods, while improving their local area at the same time.
Income generated is invested back into local communities through the UChoose programme, which funds small community projects.
The income generated will be divided between the WMNT and the force's chosen charities.
Christine Jackson from Durham Police, said: "Donation of seized and unclaimed found property allows us as a force to give something back. Usell has already been working with our colleagues at Cleveland Police and hopefully the items we donate will make a huge difference to the charity and eventually our local communities."

by William James; Abridged with an Introduction by Robert H. Abzug
First Edition ©2013
ISBN-10: 0-312-48830-0 ISBN-13: 978-0-312-48830-7 Paper Text, 192 pages See available formats »
First published in 1903, William James's Varieties of Religious Experience remains a crucial text in American intellectual history and one of the most widely read books on religion and religious experience. In this abridged edition, Robert H. Abzug offers James's key insights in a concise and accessible format. Abzug's introduction offers background on James and situates his work within the context of late nineteenth and early twentieth century intellectual currents, including psychology and philosophy. In addition, it shows how James sought to reconcile religion and science by psychologically interpreting the experience of religious states of mind while validating what he called "the reality of the unseen." A chronology, questions for consideration, and a selected bibliography further enrich students' understanding.
"This is the most accessible, compact, readable and eminently teachable version of The Varieties of Religious Experience that I have encountered. Professor Abzug has trimmed non-essential passages from the text without sacrificing sense or sensibility, a tremendous feat that will be warmly received by teachers and students alike." — James T. Fisher, Fordham University

text: The dark griminess of Danny Brown's XXX cut "Blunt After Blunt" is hard to top, but rising rapper and producer Bill Ding has given the track a unique spin. In place of the original's thick synths and dizzying electronics are now guiding strings and smooth keys; the track's signature low-end piano hit is still here, too, and it's amplified to maintain the song's strong sense of power. The nuanced vocals in Bill Ding's remix, though, are what really get this "Blunt" lit. Listen and download below.

Within a Dream World: A Look at Women Without Men
By Guest Contributor Azra, cross-posted from Muslimah Media Watch
Women Without Men, directed by Shirin Neshat, looks at the visually evocative and at times interspersing lives of four women in Iran in the early 1950s. It is a time of political unrest, as Prime Minister Mossadegh faced increasing opposition from US and British-backed movements. The film explores the women's relationships with men and their understanding of sexuality, friendship, faith, and political involvement. It is based on Shahrnush Parsipur's Women Without Men: A Novel of Modern Iran, first published in 1989.
The film is beautifully shot. Neshat's background in photography is clearly apparent, as each scene could easily exist as a series of photographs. The colors of the film are rich. At times I was reminded of Guillermo Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, not only for the beautiful cinematography, but also for its similar (albeit far more understated) use of magical realism during a time of stark political change. I found myself wondering about how both films use female protagonists and the setting of a natural space to drive their narrative, leaving male characters in the background of their experience.
The film follows four women in Tehran who are from different ages, economic backgrounds, and religious fervor. There is Zarin, a young waif who works at a brothel for an overbearing madam. One day, a customer appears without a face. Frightened, she flees the brothel and scrubs herself raw at a public bath. She never speaks during the film.
There is Munis, who at 30 is more interested in hearing about the political upheaval on the radio instead of her inconvenient single status from her brother Amir Khan. Soon after her death Munis is reborn in a moment of magical realism, unearthed by a friend during her brother's wedding, and joins a young group of (all male) revolutionaries.
There is Faezeh, Munis's best friend who has a crush on Munis's recently-engaged brother. Faezeh tells indifferent Munis: "You should hear the rumors about her. They say she's not a virgin." Faezeh later must come to terms with her own sense of sexuality and understanding of a feminine ideal after a group of men rape her.
And then there is Fakhri, a distinguished 50-year-old woman who leaves an emotionally abusive husband to live in an orchard away from the city. This magical place becomes an idyll where Zarin, Faezeh, and Fakhri are able to be themselves away from the expectations society places upon them.
The scenes from the film could easily stand on their own (the film started as a video installation). In one memorable scene, Zarin runs through the streets of the city after she visits the public bath and pauses in front of a group of men who are in sujood. They remain in prostration before her as she looks at them from a pillar; after a moment, they arise to see her. She scampers away soon afterwards. The image is striking—it is as if the men are seeking atonement before her (a woman).
Each woman must arrive at her own conclusion of how to live their lives, absent from the influence of men. In her rebirth, Munis is able to act as a revolutionary, free of the pressure to marry. Faezeh embraces her own understanding of femininity while at the orchard following her rape, refusing to abide by an "ideal Muslim woman" identity Amir Khan expects. Fakhri asserts her individuality by leaving her husband to live at the orchard, and arrives at her own understanding of motherhood through providing a loving and restorative environment to Faezeh and Zarin. Zarin, unfortunately, is unable to recover from her experience with men while at the orchard.
This could be the story of four women from anywhere, irrespective of their culture or religious beliefs, and how they find solace on their own terms (sometimes with loving support from each other) from the damaging societal expectations of how women "should" live. A rich allegory, it is a film that requires multiple viewings in order to see the different layers of meaning within it.
Near the end of the film, there is a shot of Faezeh returning triumphantly back to Tehran on the well-traveled dirt road after recuperating at Fakhri's magical orchard. Almost half the screen is sky and the other half earth—a reminder of the half-dream and half-real world women find themselves in as they walk between an identity of their own and the identity forced upon them by society. It is a recurring, lonesome course that women take for the duration of their lives.

Could you elaborate on how to do it? I though cond-expand was compile-time. I guess I was wrong :) Anyway, what I want to do: I have a definition for a C function that only exists if Imlib2 is compiled without X. So, if X is not found, I don't want a binding for that function. I guess this has to be done compile time, since the function doesn't even exist, meaning the (foreign-lambda ...) can't be translated. I hope I am making some sense here.

ACA thanks the Workers Compensation Board for hosting industry information sessions in Edmonton and Calgary May 23rd and May 24th. ACA supports the desire to incentivise a reduction in costs through greater use of return to work (modified work) programs.
However, questions remain as to whether the proposal creates these incentives for the many employers that do not realize a return on investment through formal enrollment in the Certificate of Recognition (COR) program, and / or whose size and circumstances make modified work programs infeasible. A second key concern is without proper performance measures, it may be impossible to determine if the proposal actually leads to the desired changes. A number of stakeholders felt year to year improvement should be rewarded, not currently contemplated within the proposal.
The WCB committed to providing more data to stakeholders.

Make sure that the fish will stay intact when mixing it all together. Leave the mix for about an half hour so the mixed ingredients will seep into the fish.

- Come dine where steak is king. This townhouse restaurant is located in the Theatre District's Restaurant Row and is a favorite with the celebrities. Be sure to view the 20-foot Wall of Fame, covered with over 150 notable famous faces. The lively restaurant features four large dining rooms and a cedar wood bar in the lounge, but the real star here is the prime aged steak. Pasta dishes and seafood are also good. Try the famous Caesar salad and leave room for the magnificent New York cheesecake.

In August 2009, !Audacious Church launched its partnership with Compassion UK as we strive to make a difference in the world. In 2009 ,with the help of churches like !Audacious Church, Compassion sponsored its one millionth child.
For only £21.00 per month you could partner with us to make a real difference in a childs life.
Compassion is an evangelical Christian child sponsorship organisation who give loving Christians a chance to make a difference. Rather than being overwhelmed by the staggering statistics of poverty we believe it is our Christian responsibility to help the poor as Christ did.
Children are clearly the greatest victims of poverty. Of the 2.2 billion children in our world today nearly half of them live in desperate conditions. But it is these children who hold the potential to break the cycle of deprivation for future generations. They are the pastors, teachers, doctors, engineers and change makers of the future.
Every three seconds a child dies of poverty related causes, but it takes just a moment to change a child's life forever. By sponsoring a child with Compassion you can reach out directly to a child in desperate need and provide them with the skills and opportunities they need to break free from poverty and build a bright future.
By working through local churches across the world, Compassion child development centres ensure that there is long-term stability, financial integrity and the opportunity for children to hear the good news of Jesus Christ.
As a Compassion sponsor your support of just 70p a day will ensure that your child has access to good nutrition, education, healthcare, social and emotional care and spiritual nurturing.
Compassion Sunday April 2011 from !Audacious Church on Vimeo.

It was thanks to a surprise drop off of a slightly used New York Times food edition that I got to thinking about our family's meal time tonight.
Writer Sam Sifton's "Why Does It Matter That Families Eat Together" article, accompinied by the modest photography of Stephanie Sinclair, held my attention immediately as I poured over it's pages. This was a story of families eating together. Not what they ate, or where they ate it, or who they were, simply the act of sitting together to do it.
I like to think that we sit together, as a unit, at least once a day. In truth, I hope it's more than once - but that's optimistic in a world full of drop-offs, ballet, swim team, work and chess club. Still, once a day I sort of assumed.
But tonight, as the three of us (minus our fourth for the moment) closed in on a meal (purchased way too fast after swim team), I had to really take stock in our dinner routine.
Though I'm more likely than not to cook dinner from scratch, I don't think I had stopped to evaluate whether my meal prep and clean-up also included a space for communication and nourishment. I looked at both my kids, this recent article discussing the merits of family time around the meal, including healthier eating habits, fewer teen pregnancies and higher education, was swirling fresh in my head. Have I talked to them lately while we ate? Really talked.
Somehow, sitting there with my two bobbing bouncing bubbles, I could only come up with fart noises and giggles as recent topics of conversation. Yes, we all sit down to satiate our starving hard worked frames, but the missing link, at least according to the New York Times, was in fact me. I hadn't been asking, prodding, poking for more.
I asked my son to close his book. Reluctantly he did, and I began.
"So, what did you do in enrichment today?" I asked.
A shrug. At all of eight years old I more often than not get the shrug. I didn't expect it so soon in our life, and it posses a certain kind of obstacle, but he's only eight, so it's not a cement wall - just yet.
So I asked more. And, I mirrored the same questions to the darling golden-haired three year old. Her responses were more ad-lib. A fart noise. A fake burp learned and perfected from her older brother. A mention of ballet and how fabulously "pink" it was today (as opposed to other days when it is also very pink).
It took some time, a few minutes really, but over our wrappers and premade meal we had a conversation. A real conversation that had me reeling in the absence of it for so long. This tiny check-in over burritos was actually making my children better people. More successful. Less Pregnant.
And bed time? Bed time was easier. Everyone had aired their dirty laundry and in a slightly deeper state of closeness, all went off to bed without worry or concern. Tomorrow will be another day, and tomorrow's dinner will be one more time to talk about what life's all about.
What's on the menu at your house?

I'm looking for someone who "takes care of them selfs" which we all know translates to "average" unattractive or unathletic people need not apply,But at least they are honest and say it with style and a hint of tact. Only because reality dictates that there ne
eds to be an amount of physical attraction for the reaction to accur. I am dependable,honest,loyal,down to earth....etc. Well, who really views them selfs as flaky,deceitful,cheating,self absorbed....etc.? But! if we are totally honest with ourselves, we have all hurt someone at some point. But, by far my favorites are the ones that say "if you are a liar or a player or just looking for a "hookup" keep moving". LOL as if anyone finds those qualities desirable.Or even more ridiculous to believe that someone looking to use someone is going to say "Demn, I better keep moving cause this one isn't buying what I'm selling" The truth is we have all been lied to,hurt,betrayed by those we have loved. We are all damaged.It does not make us broken.All of us carry baggage of previous pain,it does not mean that the next one we trust will treat us with the same disrespect, So when you say you don't want anyone with "drama or baggage" you may want to limit yourself to the 21 and younger crowd. Before I was ever cheated on I trusted freely and easily. Now I am convinced trust is earned, if it was easy it wouldn't be so special.I try to look at it a different way.how can I truly apppreciate someone being truly good to me without a frame of reference. So since I refuse to lower my standards, and the bar scene is a waste of time for me to pursue.here I am. We all want the same thing.That warm spot next to us when we sleep, that voice that tells us everything will be alright.That attraction that leaves us breathless after every touch. That comfort from knowing that this person will never leave and will always be there for us.The simple pleasure of watching TV and feeling fulfilled without the need for a single word to be uttered between you.Someone who "Gets You", it is an amazing thing to be able to laugh with that person at something no one else thinks is funny and feeling that connection. Someone who understands that sometimes nothing can be done to help but when they stroke your hair it doesn't seem to matter.If you are still reading this I hope it made you smile.And if you are interested dont feel like you have to write a lengthy thought provoking response,just drop me a line and say hello. Isn't that how normal people meet?

Written by Candace Ord Manroe Produced by Krissa Rossbund
Its easy for a designer to maintain balance on the flatlands, where the style geography is totally traditional or meticulously modern. Navigating terrain that is neither one nor the other requires a more calibrated compass. Without it, transitional design can plunge into a purgatory where neither/nor translates as nothing much. No such danger for furniture and interior designer Megan Perry Yorgancioglu. The home she designed in Izmir, Turkey, for herself and her husband, Doruk, is a cunning combo of classic and cool.
Im a modern traditionalist. I definitely admire and respect the traditional style, but then I do love modern, clean-lined furniture and draperies, explains Megan. When we renovated our 14-year-old home last year, we wanted to keep the architectural details traditionalthe moldings, doors, and wall paneling. But we wanted the furnishings and accents to be fresh and clean-lined.
Freshness was a shoo-in. Megan handpicked pieces she had designed from scratch for the family furniture business. She is creative director and Doruk is CEO of Dorya USA, which they launched in 2010. Headquartered in Miami, its the American expansion of the handcrafted furniture company that Doruks parents started 30 years ago in Turkey.
The young couple met at George Washington University when she was studying interior design and he was honing up on international affairs. Now they spend half their time in Turkey, where the furniture is manufactured, and the rest in Florida, running the business. So far, its a full-throttle enterprise, with a showroom open year-round in High Point, North Carolina, in addition to the Miami base.
In Turkey, the Dorya factory is just outside Izmir, only 30 minutes from Megan and Doruks front door. So approaching the home as a foil for showcasing the familys furniture was a given. So was taking risks.
I like to do things a little funkier and differently, with special attention to the details. I wanted this house to be a little more daring than most, says Megan.
A firm believer in first impressions, she seized on a derring-do design for the entry and never let go. The turquoise chest was my daring moment, she says. It gives so much energy to the entrance and is a preview of what follows.
As in more pops of color. A turquoise elephant mosaic from a Paris trade show is the family rooms splashy focal point. Its where I started the design for the living and family rooms. Its always good to have something to start from, whether it be a painting or a fabric. From there, I designed most of the other furniture from scratch. She introduced the basic black-and-white palette in the checker- board floor tiles of the entry, then extended them to the kitchen. Turquoise accents and the fiery Chinese red in the guest room add punch. For consistency and flow, I kept the palette simple. You should be to able to throw all of the fabrics and colors in your home into a pile and have them look good together, Megan instructs.
In the modernist tradition, furniture designs emphasize function. The family rooms ottoman has inset wheels, as does the cocktail table, so you can position the table to use for eating or pull the ottoman up to the sofa like a daybed for lounging, she explains. The whole area is very functional.
Strong, spare furniture lines can read cool. For counterpoint, every room was wallpapered. The different textures of wallpaper just make the home so much warmer, observes Megan. And I love playing around with the patterns.
Ultimately, the goal was a just right design. I didnt want the interior to have that cold, modern feeling or the very traditional feel. This is just in the middlea warm traditional home with a contemporary twist. I also didnt want it too masculine or too feminine but somewhere in between, so we both could enjoy every room.
With grace and daring, Megan walked the trad-mod tightrope, no safety net in sightand none needed.

Reproductive health is a broad term and a large umbrella of topics are considered under this category. The reproductive system is a system of organs within an organism which work together for the purpose of reproduction. Many non-living substances such as fluids, hormones, and pheromones are also important accessories to the reproductive system. Unlike most organ systems, the sexes of differentiated species often have significant differences.
These differences allow for a combination of genetic material between two individuals, which allows for the possibility of greater genetic fitness of the offspring. Diseases of the human reproductive system are very common and widespread, particularly communicable sexually transmitted diseases.
These would constitute a number of product categories and sub markets some of which are covered in market research reports. The term includes a variety of topics, such as pregnancy, fertility, menstruation and menopause, contraception, SIDS and HIV. The health and function of male and female reproductive systems would also be considered part of this category.

Avoiding Foreclosure
It's a sign of the times!
Most of us grew up thinking that if we planned well and played by the rules, we'd never have to stand by as our financial lives unraveled. As so many of us have learned this is not the case and find ourselves struggling to keep up with mortgage payments and bills we thought we would never have trouble with.
But upheaval on Wall Street, unacceptable rates of unemployment and plummeting real estate values have taken their toll. Since 2007, 7.9 million homeowners have lost their homes to foreclosure. Current estimates are that one in four homeowners owe more on their mortgages than they could get from the sale of their home. Millions more homes will be lost to foreclosure before this real estate crisis runs its course. In the Pocono area we are also going through the same housing and economic slide as much of the country. Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, Tannersville, Saylorsburg, Effort, Albrightsville, Bushkill have had more than their share of foreclosures and a lot of the time they homeowner walks away without contacting anyone besides the bank that would not help.
The sad fact is that foreclosure is not an isolated event. For months leading up to the loss of a home, financially strapped homeowners live under a cloud of uncertainty. And then for many years afterwards, the blow to credit gets in the way of buying another home or buying anything on credit. Foreclosure even complicates employment prospects.
The impact of foreclosure is huge and the sad fact is that it's often avoidable.
As a real estate professional who has earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, my mission is to provide financially strapped homeowners with options to foreclosure, ensure that they steer clear of scams, and help navigate them through the solution that best meets their needs.
Among the most important facts to keep in mind: the sooner help is sought, the better the options are for a dignified exit and a path that is better than foreclosure.
These are tough times, but more help is available than ever before. If you or someone you care about is ready to navigate away from the dark cloud of an unmanageable mortgage and realize that hope and blue skies are within reach, contact me today and let's get started. I am committed to helping you!

Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees: Team Grades from ALCS Game 1
By (Featured Columnist) on October 14, 2012
4,576 reads
Game 1 of the ALCS is in the books, and the Detroit Tigers were able to hold off the New York Yankees, 6-4, in another extra-inning affair this postseason.
Doug Fister and Andy Pettitte kept it at a low-scoring game before Raul Ibanez hit another clutch home run to tie the game at 4-4, sending the game to extra innings. Both sides had their good and bad marks throughout the game.
Here are the grades for the pitchers, hitters and managers for both teams.
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
It's hard to rate the pitching because you almost have to split it between starters and the bullpen. Both teams had problems down the stretch.
For the Tigers, Doug Fister was great, pitching into the seventh, and Phil Coke was great in relief. Joaquin Benoit was iffy, and Jose Valverde completely and utterly imploded. Octavio Dotel and Drew Smyly were able to right the ship and play well as usual, though.
Andy Pettitte pitched great as well, even though he allowed two earned runs. Derek Lowe, on the other hand, struggled big time. After Lowe, the batch of bullpen pitchers for the Yankees had no problems with the exception of David Phelps.
Take out Valverde, and the Tigers would have had an A. Take out Lowe, and the Yankees would have an A-. One reliever can change things big time.
Tigers: B
Yankees: B-
Al Bello/Getty Images
Both teams seemed to struggle when it came to offense. Sure, there were a lot of hits by both teams, but they were mostly singles.
The Tigers had a couple nice runs in the sixth and eighth innings, but they were kept at bay otherwise. Delmon Young's solo shot and Austin Jackson's triple got things going in those two innings.
The Yankees, meanwhile, had the bases loaded in the second and couldn't capitalize. After that, it took until the ninth for the Yankees to score any runs.
The Tigers lived and died more as a team, with only Delmon Young standing out, but the Yankees had clear good and bad parts. Raul Ibanez and Ichiro Suzuki showed up, while Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez stunk yet again.
Worth noting is that some of the Tigers' hits came from miscues and the Derek Jeter injury.
Tigers: C+
Yankees: C+
Alex Trautwig/Getty Images
How the lineups were created and knowing when to pull pitchers was what greatly affected this game.
Jim Leyland sent in Quintin Berry later on, but instead of taking out Andy Dirks (who didn't get a hit until extra innings), he took out Avisail Garcia, who helped extend the lead in the eighth.
He also kept in Jose Valverde too long after it was clear that he was melting down; even Joaquin Benoit looked shaky on the mound in his role, which won't show up in the stats.
Joe Girardi, on the other hand, didn't make many questionable moves. He took out Alex Rodriguez and Curtis Granderson when they weren't getting it done yet again, and he put Raul Ibanez in a prime spot right after Mark Teixeira, which helped big time.
That being said, David Phelps lost his first postseason appearance coming into extra innings, so using his second appearance for just that was not the best move. Sure, they were running out of pitchers, but that's what happens when you use four pitchers for 2.1 innings.
Tigers: C
Yankees: B
Final Grades
Elsa/Getty Images
The better team through the majority of the innings won. Yes, the Yankees played better later on, but the Tigers capitalized and got the runs when it mattered, even if they had to do it twice thanks to Valverde.
The Yankees didn't play poorly, and the Tigers didn't play great; this was simply one of those games where the breaks went one way, as the Yankees could have easily won this one.
It's strange to say this, but even though the score says 6-4, it felt a lot more like a 2-1 game. The pitchers were mostly in control, and it took a few plays for some runs to score. Even then, it was never anything that spread beyond an inning.
The Tigers did nearly everything they should have, as did the Yankees. There weren't any points that were excellent or terrible, aside from individual player performances (A-Rod, Valverde).
Tigers: B
Yankees: C
