As B&B experiences go, Lavender and Thyme, conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Glenwood Springs, yet set back enough so you can't hear the traffic on the main street, is just about perfect. It's about four blocks from the trailhead to Doc Holliday's grave. We chose to drive across the bridge when visiting the hot spring pools, because that... More

Country walk at Hawnby
10:49am Saturday 5th May 2012 in Video By George Wilkinson
GEORGE WILKINSON enjoys the pleasures of spring at Hawnby.
Hawnby is a village of two halves, top and bottom.
We parked at the bottom, in the village hall car park, paid money into the honesty box and, passing the chance of tea shop titbits, climbed the steep road to the top where, warmed up and ready to go, neither beer nor food lured us into the hotel.
The ash hadn't broken bud but sycamore hung with flowers, goldfinches brightened hedges, and the lambs were out, but not much gambolling and some wore waterproof coats, as did we.
A spring named Broach Well feeds down to Hawnby Lodge.
Hawnby Hills are delightful, shapely, part covered in sheep pasture, part in conifers and part in broad-leaved woodland and threaded with streams that join to make the River Rye.
This route, the first half, twists round and among the hills rather than over them, and catches some of the nice woods, with springs, bluebells and bird boxes.
In 2005 a devastating flash flood came down here removing the bridges used by walkers. One of the replacements is a lovely looking arch of very many pieces of wood, a wide and shallow curve not out of place over a lily pond, here over the gushing River Rye.
It carried us to Half Moon Plantation, a full profile of Hawnby Hill and a climb to Mount Pleasant, less pleasant because the farm is messy.
Then the gem of the walk.
Arden Hall is described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as a "perfect Queen Anne house in a perfectly sheltered and secluded position". There's a Nuns' Well nearby, they came 850 years ago, but soon the monks at Byland complained about "the rough words of their men", the nuns' men.
From seclusion led the climb, a half mile of track quite steep but steady.
Five mountain bikers overtook but then dismounted one by one to push. Near the top, at an old quarry face, look down into Thorodale, there's a lake.
The second stretch was quite different, nearly two miles on the high flat, on limestone grasslands bordering moor, with long views east to the moors and headlands, a huge sky and little lambs at a thousand foot.
A new sign read 'Beware Adders'. High Buildings are barns that sported a big pile of dung and, on the descent to Hawnby, Sunny Bank didn't live up to its name. A good walk though.
When in doubt look at the map. Check your position at each point. Keep straight on unless otherwise directed.

How come that link brings me back to woot?
This will sell out quickly once it hits the android community. This thing is great once it's got the latest updates and even better after it's rooted.
The stock OS that comes with this is absolute junk, but rooting it is very simple and makes the device much better. By the way, it's hardware is comparable to the Moto Xoom and iPad 2. Google Viewsonic gTablet roms to find all the info you need.
I'm probably out of the loop, but aren't tablets just glorified smartphones? I mean, how many gadgets does a guy need?
This would be the 1 of 2 cheaper tablets that features the Nvidia Tegra 2 T20 Dual cortex A9(1Ghz) processor. It is also 1 of only 2 tablets that have 4 of 5 star ratings with over 60 reviews. The other is the elocity a7 which I just picked up last week and am now wishing I hadn't. This is now the cheapest dual core 1ghz tablet you can grab. If anyone grabs this make sure you check out this site for possible mods/additions to the device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=841
3.4 on average via the Buzzillion reviewers. Not bad, but not great. http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/viewsonic-10-android-wifi-tablet-reviews
I would definitely buy one if they were $200 less!
FWIW, I have one. If you want a tablet, get this one. $100 off anywhere else right now. Here's the deal, the default TnT interface blows. Go on the XDA Developers forums though and get the VEGAn- or TnTLite ROMs and install them, and you'll never look back. My biggest gripe is the screen doesn't have great viewing angles. Otherwise, the thing is a workhorse. Battery life is great (10+ hours), connectivity is good, weight is nice, and it's damn peppy. You're getting the same CPU as the Xoom as well. No GPS, which is a marginal inconvenience at best.

It's for using with Skype
Heh, it could be the next crappy Holga effect!
The good: The ViewSonic G Tablet is one of only a handful of Android-based devices offering a 10-inch screen at an iPad-besting price tag. The bad: Adapting the smartphone OS to such a large screen requires many custom interface tweaks that fall short. Lack of official Google mobile services and Android Market limits potential. Many third-party apps don't work as expected. The bottom line: The ViewSonic G Tablet carves out a unique niche among Android tablets, breaking away from the smartphone to become a type of domestic dashboard. Unfortunately, many key benefits of the Android OS are lost along the way. Read more: http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/viewsonic-g-tablet/4505-3126_7-34431221.html#ixzz1HOcvwyGQ most of the completed auctions on Ebay show it selling new for about $300-$325 shipped.
Can I use this to ironically beat people with ipads and hipster-tude upside the head with?
Let the 24hr Android vs Apple debate begin...
Hello guys, can anybody tell me about reading pdf files using this tablet?
Who really interested taking pictures with a tablet? I think it's for video conference chat
ppham1504 wrote:Hello guys, can anybody tell me about reading pdf files using this tablet?
Download any free PDF reader off the Android market and you can read them just fine.
I bought one from a brick & mortar a few months ago. Cost me almost $100 over what woot! has it on offer for. Out of the box it is 'ok'. It'll do for most people. But the way to really get it to live up to its potential is to root it, flash it & customize the bejeezus out of it. ViewSonic G-Tab specific on forum on XDA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=841 Absolutely a trove of valuable info and friendly people.
I second that! I have a Pandigital ereader but it's soooooper slow when it comes to PDF files. I need some kick!
ok, can you mirror to your tv? Is there a mini USB to HDMI? Would you view Netflix off the browser? The possibilities...
drstranglove wrote:How come that link brings me back to woot?
sorry about the quotes! thank you woot mod!
You can use either Adobe Reader or the Aldiko eBook reader app with no issues for PDFs. I use mine for eBooks frequently.
It's a little heavier than iPad 2 at 1.55lbs vs 1.33. But's its actually thinner than the iPad 2 .27" thick versus iPad 2's .34".
Tempting... Also, saw the Night Ghost comment. hahahahaahahahahahaha
And go!
I'm asking, because I don't want to stay up all night researching the question: I use my Blackberry as a modem on my Windows machine, and I wonder if Blackberry Desktop manager will work in the Android OS?
bongofett wrote:ok, can you mirror to your tv? Is there a mini USB to HDMI? Would you view Netflix off the browser? The possibilities...
It won't work with Netflix because Netflix uses Silverlight and that isn't supported on Android yet.
I believe you need the dock for all that. However, I don't know of Netflix working on Android based devices yet, be it this or something else.
reako wrote:Alright so the iPad 2 is 1.33lbs vs this 1.55lbs. Also the iPad 2 is .34" thick, how thick is this gTablet? I don't see that in the specs.
~Less than half an inch thick (I am typing on one right now) I can't measure it exactly but its almost as thin as a smartphone Edit: after using The Google: 0.54"
Was almost tempted. Then the "G-Market" instead of the Android market killed it for me.

NVIDIA Releases GeForce GTX 650 & 660
Helping to round out Kepler's middle-ground, NVIDIA today has unveiled its GeForce GTX 650 and 660 graphics cards. With the 660 Ti having been released not long ago, a non-Ti version might seem a bit strange so soon, but both cards are a fair bit different. While the Ti edition edges super-close to the GTX 670, the GTX 660 lands itself smack dab in between the new GTX 650 and the 660 Ti. And at $229, it could be the sweet-spot you've been looking for.

Halia was a nice little tan surprise we happened upon when going to pick up Sammies car. The last place you would expect to see a girl this hot on her back under a car. Well, maybe not on her back, because as soon as we saw her, that was where we wanted her. We got her little red corvette revved up in the shop, but decided to take the party to the shower for a little wash time. Our dirty mechanic girl was now clean and we hit the bed to really get under her hood. It was a good thing we had been collecting tools for so long. They really came in handy!

An Effective Case Model By Andrew Kolbasovsky, PSYDOctober 1, 2008
In 2007 the HIP Health Plan of New York restructured its case management program for clients at highest risk of re-hospitalization for psychiatric conditions to capitalize on previ- ous lessons learned and advances in the field of case management. Early results, utilizing an intent-to-treat, historically controlled design, have demonstrated a 70-percent reduction in 30-psychiatric readmission rate corresponding to savings of over $500,000 in 30-day inpatient psychiatric costs.
Upon psychiatric hospitalization, a risk of re-hospitalization score is calculated based on an internally developed predictive model (developed by the author and colleagues). Clients scoring above a risk threshold are identified for intensive case management services (ICM). The most common diagnoses include psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder and depression. Licensed social workers contact identified clients directly and provide case management services via telephone. Services are provided with the aim of helping clients overcome barriers to condition management while promoting high-quality treatment, safety, community tenure and cost-effective outcomes.
The program incorporates five key components, explained in greater detail below.
Incorrect phone numbers and address changes make finding clients identified for ICM challenging. Several strategies were implemented, resulting in an enrollment rate improvement from 33 percent to approximately 90 percent. Rather than wait for clients to be dis- charged from the hospital before pursuing them for ICM, clients are contacted while still inpatient. By contacting the inpatient social worker or unit discharge planner, case managers arrange to speak with clients on the telephone. During this call correct telephone numbers and collateral contacts are confirmed, allowing for easier post-discharge contact. By speaking with a client during hospitalization the case manager becomes associated with the treatment team, allowing for a smooth transition once the client is discharged. When presenting the pro- gram to clients, case managers do not emphasize the many benefits of the service but rather present case management as something to which the client is entitled, a service provided by the individual case manager. Throughout the entire process, case managers communicate empathy and concern for the well-being of all clients.

October 31, 2012 To Healthcare Partners and the Citizens of Oklahoma, Quality and availability of healthcare remains an ongoing concern for patients, payers, and policy makers in Oklahoma. Despite numerous initiatives to measure and to improve the quality of care in our state and nationally, variations in quality continue to exist. The following document represents the annual Oklahoma Hospital Report which provides a summary of nationally standardized, hospital-specific quality indicators. This report fulfills a requirement of the Hospital Advisory Council set forth by the Oklahoma Legislature to publish an annual report of hospital-specific quality measures including information on hospital-acquired infections. This report contains two years of complied data in an effort to reduce the timeframe between when data is collected and when it is released. We believe that by providing the information detailed in this report that leaders and public citizens will continue to identify opportunities to improve patient safety and healthcare quality and to make informed decisions when choosing their healthcare provider. Sincerely, Gary W. Mitchell, D.Ph, FACHE Chairman Hospital Advisory Council (This page left blank)

And about holiday shopping today we have small business Saturday that's coming up it's an opportunity.
A couple of days after Thanksgiving the day after Black Friday the 24 of this year.
This month.
For small businesses to -- wool with some shoppers into their stories and get away from that big retailer kind of feeling so we -- the CEO of sage works.
Company that gathers financial data on private businesses try to write Hamilton here in the -- sunset -- we cannot yet agree to be -- -- -- so small business Saturday what are the expectations.
So far this year revenues are up for private companies which is good -- we expect that to continue although we should note that -- rate of growth of private companies has gone down quite a bit.
-- -- Since last year over the past twelve months so we're a little bit concerned about that because.
Not too much on a foretell the future but last time this happened we went into another recession amounts -- 2007 -- -- 82008 to 2009 if you remember and so we're we're a little bit concerned.
Growth rates are pretty good -- but they're going Donald and so you know we're on the fence that's 6% growth maybe not successes some descriptive verses what it would have picked up about 1011%.
So it's not a product say that China is still law so good so we expect pretty good results.
But we're a little bit on the fence about this we don't know what's gonna happen.
-- -- -- Just because you -- -- -- see if we look at static data or numbers you know you sort of look at it a a fixed number and it's very difficult to make a conclusion but when you look at trend -- if you look at the movement of data tells you a lot more.
So the movements down -- little -- were a little bit concerned.
We don't know -- -- -- -- be remedied by one weekend.
All the movement of the state is going in reverse which is -- Is did this fiscal cliff talk that has people -- and is it -- -- and sent you know we don't have more small business friendly.
President Mitt Romney would have been that the fact that we don't have him in office.
Visit and a mix event.
-- Yang we'll depends on your party your perspective yes.
Looking at the data no one really knows that's the truth we don't really know if you look past what is promise as a sort of credit companies it -- small businesses what do they tell you.
Will they tell us right now is they're very concerned about one specific thing.
And this effects the hiring front in particular they're concerned about the debt that we have as a nation because the fiscal.
-- yeah that's part of that but we'll look at it this way since 1947.
And produces amazingly just think about is -- since 1947.
There's been only two times in history since that -- we're government expenditures have gone down.
And revenues only four times have gone down so as a country we're increasing revenues in taxes.
And we're spending more money.
And -- business owners are savvy and if you look at the demographics these people are well educated you know how to run their business.
In their operating under this umbrella of uncertainty.
Which is really triggered by the debt now important to remember and I know -- right now but remember.
This is been going on under under both Republican in democratic administrations.
So really not forever but it's really that right now it's bad now but you know even in the eighties even in the age when GDP growth was great morning things were going pretty well everything else.
Off on upon was coming down we were spending money like drunken sailors.
We've been doing it for 68 years and businesses are very savvy about that remember they operate under one umbrella.
Which called the United States of America rate that's their family that's their home.
When there's uncertainty -- sort of just -- -- economically.
It makes them worried about hiring and making forward looking decisions -- you can't blame them.
Right so let's let's look at Saturday shows my fourth of and I for small business Saturday when you know what's we now what is it.
Well it's funny in the hands to -- for only a little bit but I get a kick out of it a little bit because.
Who came up with -- you know -- the.
Secret Nike consumer really goes to not -- into.
A private companies today and you know you kind of have to get used by an instant.
And they -- -- -- to -- people can have hallmark for Valentine's -- don't ever give them you really so I didn't.
Little bit of -- -- -- -- I think the fact is is what's happened really.
Is after Thanksgiving we got Black Friday we've got black weekend whatever it is we have like Thursday look at certain start -- sad -- -- about.
Depression could the but yeah.
-- -- different.
But the point is we've got in got people spend a lot of money.
You know we don't really know -- people would wake up and say hey I'm -- -- small business the fact that matters they're gonna go with a savings are.
And where is that.
Well you know the answer that when the big box retailers and it is very clear -- these beautiful cult.
To survive today as a small business retailer in all the segments we track that's one of the lowest performing ones consumers and you cannot blame them.
They want to save money in -- should it's free market enterprise and that's capitalism.
They're gonna go where they save money I don't know if they're gonna wake of this -- -- with a small business unless they are small business owner traditionally -- -- themselves.
When he seven million small businesses yeah backbone of the US economy instrument generating jobs -- everything else.
But you know.
Now called big retailers -- do well.
Best Buy on -- its case in point really seems like everybody is struggling and that's why we've seen so many deals so early years so far this year.
I'm just really quickly they have about a minute left and wanna ask you which industries are set did the best this year.
Well from the ones that -- going -- well are the ones that have done well even 2000 non which was a training Iraq.
You know technology companies software information confirms we are mega.
Consumers of technology stuff we like technology stuff so if you're in -- it -- -- -- for -- medical.
Where health care even health care there's a lot of momentum around volume -- -- -- -- are aging now a little bit on rent and you know so.
We get a little older she -- a lot more need for health care and those industries would tend to do pretty well home furnishings are going up.
Fall housing market is getting better we that is to report -- all most fully confirmed that trend -- true coupled -- -- -- -- real quickly -- that's good it.
If you are a buyer not -- -- if -- -- -- because -- worry about prices actually even -- they're improving a little bit.
-- got all these construction companies around in the market that's gonna suppress prices -- did today stage -- it's provided a home furnishings.
In 2000 any down once ran out and present -- over the past year.
Up 9% truth -- it has been confused.
Yes we know that my dad's in the -- business and I know I know for a fact is not seen -- like -- he says you know.
Let -- we there's -- data they're you know certain segments of that category do better than -- it it.
Electronics and appliance stores those are doing gangbusters -- no that's you know and love that stuff as American -- and keep consuming and yeah.
Jewelry is up 15% and leather goods not -- right so we are seeing some gains in some sectors and it seems like the ones that got killed during the recession in 2008 might be prime right now my accountant CEOs -- its stake you so much for coming on great to be -- you are right.

There are two areas, the Chapman Area and the Green Falls Area. In effect for 2013 for Pachaug Camgrounds: Hopeville, Green Falls and Mount Misery, the possession or use of alcohol is banned from June 7, 2013 to September 2, 2013 inclusive. Please do not bring alcoholic beverages and plan your visit accordingly. Overview Pachaug State Forest began with a land purchase in Voluntown, in 1928. At present, Pachaug covers about 24,000 acres in six towns, and is the largest forest in the State system. The word "Pachaug" is derived from the Indian term meaning bend or turn in the river. The Pachaug River, running from Beach Pond to the Quinebaug River, runs through the center of the forest. Indians of the Narragansett, Pequot, and Mohegan tribes inhabited this area in great number. During the last half of the seventeenth century, the Narragansetts and Pequots were defeated by the combined force of the Colonists and the Mohegans, when in 1700, a six mile square tract was granted to the Indian War Veterans. Eventually, the central portion of this land grant became "Volunteer's Town," incorporated as Voluntown in 1721. Old cellar holes and miles of stone fence winding through the woods give evidence that the entire forest was once farmed or pastured. Abundant water encouraged the establishment of a mill industry as early as 1711. Nearly every brook has several old mill sites and dams. Homestead farming and small industry succumbed to advancing modern technology; the forest reclaims its land.

Hell yeah dude, I was there VIP as well. Got to meet Tech and Slug. They cut the VIP meet and greet line off right before I was about to get to meet Tech, and he pretty much saw me and my friends were bummed the fuck out, and he was telling us he was sorry, but they were pretty much making him leave, because they had to get Slug up there to start meeting VIP people as well. But while he was still standing there, we asked him if we could jump in real quick to get a picture, and he was cool with it, so I finally got to meet the man himself. I was at a loss of words to be honest. Except for while I was talking during the goddamn picture, lol. But I really appreciated the fact that he let us jump outta line quick to meet him before he took off. Then we proceeded to jump back into the front of the meet n greet line, and were the first ones to meet Sluggo, hahahaha. It was one hell of a time, everybody..and I mean everybody absolutely killed it. Can't wait for next year.

About هشام أبو الوليد «الرضا» بن عبد الرحمن, أمير قرطبة
Hisham I or Hisham Al-Reda (Arabic: هشام بن عبد الرحمن الداخل) was the second Umayyad Emir of Cordoba, ruling from 788 to 796 in the Al-Andalus (Moorish Iberia).
Hisham was born in Cordoba. He was the 1st son of Abd ar-Rahman I and his wife, Halul and the younger half brother of Suleiman. He built many mosques and completed the Mezquita. In 792 he called for a jihad. Muslims arrived from abroad. The campaign took place in 793 against the Kingdom of Asturias and the County of Toulouse; in this second campaign he was defeated at Orange by William of Gellone, the Frankish count of Toulouse and first cousin to Charles the Great. [edit] Death and Assessment
Hisham died in 796 C.E. after rule of eight years. He was only forty years old at the time of his death. He was a prototype of Umar II, and strove to establish the islamic way of life. He lived a simple life and avoided regal show and ostentation. He was a God-fearing man and was known for his impartial justice and sound administration.

HISHAM (Córdoba 757-17 Apr 796). Ibn-el Kouthya records that "la fille de Youçouf" offered "une jeune esclave…Houlal" to Abd er-Rahman, adding that she became the mother of Hisham[55]. Abd el-Wahid Merrakechi records "…Hicham b. Mohammed b. Abd er-Rahman ed-Dakhil b. Moawiyya…" when reciting the ancestry of his remote descendant "El-Motadd billah" Emir of Córdoba[56]. Ibn-el Kouthya names "Soleiman et Hicham" as the two sons of Abd er-Rahman[57]. Appointed Governor of Merida by his father. He arrived at Córdoba within days of his father's death, and was greeted as HISHAM I Emir of Córdoba. According to Arab sources, Emir Hisham was "passionate about the holy war", sending two armies into battle in 791[58]. The first phase of the mosque at Córdoba was completed during the early part of his reign. He foiled a plot to depose him in favour of his cousin Muhammad al-Qasim in 805, which he repressed with great severity. An uprising in Córdoba in 818 was also put down with extreme severity. The Chronicon Albeldense records that "Eiscam" reigned seven years and six months in Córdoba, adding in a later paragraph that he was the son of "Abderrhaman"[59]. [m] (a) ZOKHRUF, daughter of ---. Abd el-Wahid Merrakechi names "une concubine…Zokhrouf" as the mother of Emir Hakam I[60]. Hisham I & his concubine (a) had one child: al-HAKAM ([770/75]-822)

Friday @ 5: A cocktail to kick off the weekend
Posted by Lauren Viera
The past few days' warmer climes are a dead giveaway, but for those who prefer to celebrate by the book: Spring officially begins Sunday.
(If you're annoyed by the fact that this column so often begins with a reminder as to what holiday or season is on the horizon, apologies. Let it be your constant reminder to drink in season, just as you should eat in season.)
More important than the fact that yesterday was St. Patrick's Day, or that a certain day this year marks the 244th anniversary of the invention of soda water, the start of spring gives us permission to polish off our brown liquors and move into lighter territory (think gin, tequila, light rum). True, bourbon remains an excellent transitional spirit to be enjoyed in the months warming up to Derby Day in early May, but toasting the equinox deserves a bit more effort.

For all those who are tired of seeing style and fashion presented solely as a young woman's game, behold Advanced Style.
Out in May from PowerHouse Books, this collection of street-fashion photographs of the over-60 set is a joy.
Although few of the subjects photographed on the streets of New York City reveal precisely how old they are, they offer lessons in confidence and style that women of all ages will appreciate, which is exactly why Ari Seth Cohen started Advanced Style, the blog that inspired the book.
Among the stylish figures in the book is the elegant and refined Rose, age 100, pictured in a paisley caftan, Hermes belt and oversized beads. Her credo? "If everyone is wearing it, then it's not for me." Alice, posing in a men's tweed jacket, jodhpurs, boots, fingerless gloves and a silk scarf, says, "Fie on women in sneakers and sweats." Then there's Debra, in electric-blue sunglasses and brocade pants, who approaches getting dressed like an art project and says, "Tomorrow is another day and another look."
Cohen combs the city looking for elder style on the street. "It's fun to hang out outside the Carlysle Hotel," he says, which is where he snapped a photo of actress Elaine Stritch wearing one of her signature menswear-inspired looks. "But I don't spend too much time on the Upper East Side because a lot of the women there have had a lot of plastic surgery."
Advanced Style is about embracing one's age, not fighting it, he says. "In society, women are told to back down from fashion as they get older, and they become invisible. I got an email from one woman who said her grandkids were embarrassed by the way she dresses. … She showed them my blog, and they changed their minds."
He has learned that there really is no such thing as age-appropriate dressing. The book features its fair share of traditional houndstooth suits, silk scarves and sensible shoes, but it also has women in artsy hats and colorful turbans.
"Some women think fashion should be more proper, others don't care at all. If someone is comfortable and confident, that's what matters," Cohen says. "I like to have a mix of eccentric and elegant in the blog and book, because I'm attracted to both extremes."
Cohen grew up in San Diego, where he spent many afternoons with his grandmothers, Bluma and Helen, watching old movies, trying on clothes and going through scrapbooks of photos showing people dressed to the nines.
After he finished school, he set his sights on New York City with an eye toward meeting Mimi Weddell, the 93-year-old model, actress and hat enthusiast whom he had admired from afar after seeing the 2008 documentary film about her life, Hats Off.
He wrangled an invitation to tea. "She wouldn't give me cookies, but she offered me brandy," he remembers of his first meeting with the late Weddell, who was a health enthusiast. "Everything she told me about life and style inspired me."
Cohen began to notice other stylish older women on the streets of New York, "a wonderful city for older people to live in," he says. And he asked to take their photographs.
Surprisingly, most were not offended. "I have never been shy to go up to people, but I did have to learn my approach. I tell them I'm photographing women 60 and above, and since most of them are 80 and above, they are flattered," he says.
He started the blog as a response to what he saw as a lack of representation of older people in the media. "Everything I found in my research poked fun," he says, "which was different from what my eyes were seeing on the street."
The blog has been a boon for Cohen, leading to freelance work for AARP magazine and exhibitions of his photographs at stores and galleries in Europe. He's currently working on an Advanced Style film, which he hopes to complete this summer, and another book, this one more focused on health and lifestyle for the over-60 set.
So at the tender age of 30, how does Cohen feel about his advancing years?
"We all are going to get older. It's not about me looking forward to it, it's about me being OK with it," he says. "I've learned how to live my life more fully from the women I have met who are 100 and still doing Pilates. I have a new sense of freedom and have learned to let things go and just accept myself."

As it becomes clear that Mitt Romney might actually win the election, desperate Democrats are beginning to develop a new spin about why Obama might lose. That they are doing this two weeks before the election gives us a glimpse of just how scared they are.
First, the New York Times' top political reporter, Matt Bai, suggests that if Obama loses, blame could be put on none other than his most important campaign asset, Bill Clinton. Bai writes:
But there is one crucial way in which the 42nd president may not have served the 44th quite as well. In these final weeks before the election, Mr. Clinton's expert advice about how to beat Mitt Romney is starting to look suspect.
At first, Bai says, the Obama campaign tried to depict Romney as "inauthentic and inconstant, a soulless climber who would say anything to get the job." But after the public got to see what Romney was really like in the debates, that effort ground to a halt. Instead, Clinton argued they had to portray Romney as an extremist conservative. That, after all, is what Clinton did when he ran, portraying himself as a centrist in between far left elements in his own party and right-wing Republicans opposed to him.
Barack Obama, of course, is no Bill Clinton, and yet the campaign adopted Clinton's advice, working hard to paint Romney as Bush-Cheney redux. Clinton, as Bai writes, was a "centrist deal maker," while Obama is correctly not seen in this light by the American public. Bai adds that since the debates, Romney "has made a brazen and frantic dash to the center, and Mr. Obama has often seemed off-balance, as if stunned that Mr. Romney thinks he can get away with such an obvious change of course so late in the race. Which, apparently, he can."
Romney thus cannot be painted as "a far-right ideologue," no matter how many times Obama ads try to do just that. To put it bluntly, the tactic is not working, as the increasing numbers shifting to Romney in the polls continue to prove. Obama and his team will continue to make efforts to try to convince swing voters and independents of just that, and so far, it isn't working.
So, Bai says, if Romney wins, Democrats will put the blame on Bill Clinton for having the campaign change its tactics as Clinton told them to do. Obama, he concludes, "now has only a couple weeks to convince a lot of independents in states like Ohio and Virginia that Mr. Romney really is some raging conservative, rather than the more malleable, somewhat awkward fellow he is impersonating on TV."
What is significant is that Bai is writing this now — rather than after the election. When can you remember a pro-Democratic analyst writing an explanation for what they fear is a Romney victory when the campaign is still going on?
The second such attempt to explain Romney's possible win comes in a paradoxical and confused column by the dean of liberal journalists, E.J. Dionne Jr. Writing in theWashington Post, its top political analyst explains that even if Romney wins, Democrats should not despair, because the Tea Party and conservatism have lost! In other words, if the candidate they hate and fear so much wins, Dionne now says in effect liberalism has still won — after denouncing Romney and the Republicans in prior columns over and over.
Dionne writes:
The right wing has lost the election of 2012.
The evidence for this is overwhelming, yet it is the year's best-kept secret. Mitt Romney would not be throwing virtually all of his past positions overboard if he thought the nation were ready to endorse the full-throated conservatism he embraced to win the Republican nomination.
If conservatism were winning, does anyone doubt that Romney would be running as a conservative? Yet unlike Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, Romney is offering an echo, not a choice. His strategy at the end is to try to sneak into the White House on a chorus of me-too's.
So Dionne, ignoring all that Romney has said on economic and fiscal issues and on ObamaCare, proclaims Romney to be a secret liberal — because otherwise, in Dionne's eyes, there is no way anyone could vote for him. In Dionne's eyes, Republicans and conservatives are supporting Romney because:
It turns out that there was no profound ideological conversion of the country two years ago. We remain the same moderate and practical country we have long been. In 2010, voters were upset about the economy, Democrats were demobilized, and President Obama wasn't yet ready to fight. All the conservatives have left now is economic unease. So they don't care what Romney says. They are happy to march under a false flag if that is the price of capturing power.
According to Dionne, Romney has me-too'ed Obama on foreign policy, deserted the hated neocons (although other liberals continue to blast Romney for heeding the advice of Dan Senor and John Bolton) and, on domestic policy, given up the "selfishness" that he says is the mainstay of Paul Ryan's Ayn Rand economic policies. To put it another way, he thinks the public sees Romney as someone willing to work across the aisle to solve our problems, which is actually true. He showed as governor of Massachusetts that he did just that. Dionne also forgets that, in fact, it was Paul Ryan who modified his original proposal on health care to work with liberal Democrat Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon. Ryan, also a major fiscal conservative, has shown he knows how to work with Democrats to address our nation's problems. Yet Dionne still can argue that no matter who wins, "the right-wing has lost the election."
So, let's get that straight. If Mitt Romney and the Republican Party win — the party supposedly run by Tea Party extremists — it still means that left-liberalism has won. That is, definitely, one way of pretending that you've won when everyone else thinks you've lost.
Dionne and others are hence preparing themselves for a possible outcome they never thought possible. Let's get out there on Election Day and make their fearful dreams come true.

I would love any suggestions any one has on this one. We are doing everything we can for my 7 year old to help his reading and we are making slow progress. Not sure if shoe tie tutors exist but I might think about it. It is SO frustrating for him.

I completely forgot this problem for me. This was a big issue before there were velco shoes: My mom and dad kept showing me the rabbit ear method and that is how I overcame this problem. (Making 2 Loops, twist around and pull through was the trick)

When I was a child I had the same problem, it can come down to which method you are using. My dad was dyslexic, and I believe I have some of the symptoms he did, however not as severe, he could barely read or write.
Have him make a rabbit ear out of the right and left lace, then just cross them, and fold one ear under and pull. That method seems to be easier for kids.

Post subject: Shoe Tieing Box
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:26 pm
I really struggled with this one. I was so embarrassed at school when I couldn't tie my shoes. I even had one teacher yell at me because she had showed me over and over how to do it.
The thing that helped me was having a shoe box with holes punched in it for the laces to a bit bigger scale then an actual shoe. I was able to practice on that and my mother broke it down in to multiple steps for me. Like first cross the laces, then make one loop... Finally, it didn't sink in till she bribed me with $5 if I could do it myself. Best $5 I ever earned!

Date: Thursday 14 Jun 2012
Markets have reacted positively in the main to the outcome of the Italian bond auction on Thursday morning, which saw yields rise fairly steeply.
Italy issued a total of 4.5bn of debt in three, seven, and eight-year bonds. It matched its issuance target but had to pay higher yields than on the previous occasion.
The eight-year bonds yielded a rate of 6.13% compared to 5.33% in the prior auction. The yield on the seven-year bond rose to 6.10% from the prior 5.21% and three-year bonds rose to 5.3% from 3.91%.
Markets had been antsy about the auction after Moody's downgrade of Spanish sovereign debt by three notches.
On the corporate front, it looks like the Football Association (FA) has been declared the winner in the negotiations over television rights for footie matches from the top division of English football.
British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB), which more or less built its business in the UK on live football, is paying the FA £2.3bn to broadcast live 116 matches over a three year period, starting from the 2013-14 season. The shares are sharply lower this morning, with Numis Securities reacting to the cost of the deal by downgrading BSkyB to "add", although Citi is sticking with its "buy" recommendation.
Video-on-demand player BT, the telecoms giant, has paid a pretty penny to muscle in on the Premiership action, paying £738m for the right to broadcast 38 games, around half of which it will be allowed to cherry-pick before Sky. BT is also lower, though its fall is not so severe as that experienced by Sky.
After swooning late yesterday afternoon commodities producer and trader Glencore is on the slide again, along with its proposed merger partner Xstrata. Concerns persist about the proposed merger, which is dependent on shareholders giving the thumbs-up to an eye-popping package of incentives for top executives at Xstrata. Given the slap in the face shareholders gave to the WPP board yesterday as they protested at executive pay, there may be trouble ahead for the combination wags have dubbed 'Glenstrata'.
Irish oil titan Tullow Oil is off the pace after France blocked drilling off the coast of French Guyana on environmental grounds. Tullow, along with Shell and French operator Total has made significant discoveries in the region.
WH Smith, the High Street and travel hub newsagent chain, saw like-for-like sales dip at the start of the second half of its financial year, but the shares rose as the group revealed margins are up.
European IT services provider Computacenter crashed after it warned it will be required to invest significantly over the remainder of the year to cope with increased business levels.
Computacenter Chief Executive Officer Mike Norris said: "While we highlighted the necessity for investment in our statement of April 18th, both the size and scope of the opportunities we have won have increased significantly, requiring us to invest further."
Fashion firm Mulberry also got a handbagging from the market after sparkling figures were deemed to be sup-par. UK full price stores saw like-for-like rise 14% for the 10 weeks to June 9th 2012. Revenue of £168.5m was about £7m short of market expectations, however, while pre-tax profit of £6m was around £1.5m below what the market had been expecting.
Design and engineering consultancy WS Atkins said it had performed well over the last year despite tough conditions and was boosting its dividend. The company reported revenues up 9.4% to £1.7bn in the year to the end of March, with earnings per share up 5% to 7.9p. Pre-tax profits were up 48% to £135.5m, although this included the sale of its UK asset management business, which netted £7.2m.
First quarter revenues and profits were down at electronics components supplier Premier Farnell, but the group said sales are stabilising. Total revenue in the February to April quarter was down 5.0% at £241.0m from £252.5m the year before.
It is business as usual at advertising conglomerate WPP, a day after shareholders delivered a massive rebuke to the board at the firm's annual general meeting, with 60% of votes cast against the remuneration package and a sizeable minority also voting against the re-election of the Chairman, Philip Lader.
The company is back on the acquisition trail, snaffling up 87% of media intelligence and monitoring group Press Index, triggering an offer for the rest of the shares at 6.81. The terms value Press Index at about 11.2m, which is barely a year's wages to WPP's boss, Sir Martin Sorrell.
