Micah Rice: Not cheering just yet for Cano
While Seattle Mariners fans are celebrating the biggest free-agent signing in franchise history, I'm the grumpy neighbor telling them to keep the music down.
Would you support legalizing marijuana in your state?
Do You Know the Constitution Better Than Most Politicians?
Whatever level of respect the Mariners have earned by landing superstar Robinson Cano could pale in comparison to the level of respect his Mariner teammates may inherit simply by having Cano in the lineup.
Mariners becoming big spenders with acquisition of Robinson Cano
SEATTLE _ A reported 10-year, $240 million deal between the Mariners and free agent Robinson Cano marks a stunning about-face for a franchise that for years kept overall payroll below past levels.
The hot corner has its share of superstars amongst baseball players - Miguel Cabrera , Evan Longoria , David Wright , Adrian Beltre , and Alex Rodriguez .
Mariners offering free agent Cano $200 million
The Mariners are trying to make a game of it in the Robinson Cano Derby, and if they want the All-Star second baseman, they know they're going to have to go way, way above the Yankees ' $175-million or so bid.
Chuck Stark | Willie signing good move for Mariners
The Mariners are a positive physical away from bringing Willie Bloomquist back to the Northwest: Didn't see this one coming, but it makes sense.
Seattle Mariners: Realistic Expectations for Each Hitter in Starting Lineup
The season is several months away, but rosters are starting to take shape with winter meetings warming up and contracts being signed.

Willie Bloomquist is signing with the Mariners on a two-year deal for somewhere between $5-6 million.

Lowdown: Seager might be the best third baseman you've never heard of, thanks mostly to an especially deep class of third baseman in the American League in 2013.
After a solid 2012 season Kyle Seager of the Mariners was a solid target on draft day, even if he didn't have the cache of some of the bigger names in the game.
Mariners a fit for Peralta, Cruz a " and more MLB tidbits
The Mariners know they must add offense and can't be too picky. Still, they strongly prefer to obtain righty heft.
Seattle hires McClendon as new manager
Lloyd McClendon was hired as manager of the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, taking over a rebuilding job that Eric Wedge walked away from.
A Kyle Seager plate discipline exercise
When the Mariners announced that Tigers ' hitting coach Lloyd McClendon would be taking over the giant Eric Wedge-sized hole in our hearts on Tuesday, reaction around the M's blogosphere was notably varied.

HUMAN HEARING: Our ears detect sound as vibrations in the air. Sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate, which sends waves through a fluid inside the cochlea This in turn causes tiny hairs -- each tuned to the different pitches of the sound -- to vibrate as well, stimulating nerves which send electrical signals to the brain for processing. Having two ears makes it possible to determine from where a sound is coming. Time lag and differences in volume provide useful clues. For instance, sound coming from one direction will reach the ear furthest away about 1/500 second later than the closer ear, and the brain can detect this time lag. A difference in volume between the two ears depends on the frequency of the sounds. It is easier for us to tell the direction of high frequency sounds better than low frequency sounds, because the higher frequencies are more easily blocked by the head, and therefore may not reach the far ear.
ABOUT HEARING LOSS: Loud sounds stress and potentially damage the delicate hair cells within the inner ear that convert mechanical vibrations (sound) into the electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. Over time, the hair cells can become permanently damaged and stop working, producing hearing loss. Noise-induced hearing loss can be caused by two types of noise: sudden bursts, such as firearms or fireworks, or continuous exposure to loud noise, such as motorized recreational vehicles, loud sporting events, power tools, farming equipment, or amplified music. For the latter, the damage depends on the level and duration of the noise exposure. Repeated exposures over many years can cause a gradual onset of hearing loss in both children and adults.

Sounds good?...Stephen Friend is a rich guy who owns a large property on an island. He and his neighbors had been using diesel fuel that has to be brought in by boat to power charge their large battery packs when there wasn't enough sun/wind to keep their off-grid power system full. He invested in a refrigerator-sized fuel-cell, and added components to his system to use his large solar PV panels to electrolyze water into H2/O2, and the H2 was compressed into storage tanks to be used in winter on cloudy days.
If this new artificial leaf really works, producing cheap H2 on-site for a fuel-cell feedstock might be a great advancement whether the sun/wind are available or not.
"...Nocera replaced the platinum catalyst that produces hydrogen gas with a less-expensive nickel-molybdenum-zinc compound. On the other side of the leaf, a cobalt film generates oxygen gas. Nocera notes that all of these materials are abundant on Earth, unlike the rare and expensive platinum, noble metal oxides and semiconducting materials others have used..."

Eiffel Tower
Online Reservations
The atmosphere is great, the service was excellent. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and helping to pick our entrees.
We were celebrating my wife's birthday and every expectation was exceeded, starting with the perfect window table that cannot be guaranteed, to the top notch service by all of the wait staff, and one of the best meals I've ever had. We had a front row view of the Bellagio fountains and the strip which is one of the reasons people flock to this restaurant, but the food was all perfectly prepared, starting with the Blue Cheese Souffle, the Roasted Rack of Lamb, and the dessert Souffle, all of them noted as popular choices at this restaurant. If you have a special occasion while in Vegas this restaurant should be at the top of the list.
We spent a fantastic Anniversary night at the dinner table in front of Light Fountain water shows. The table is shaped a half circle, prepared as close as possible toward window. As the main dish we chose, Sea bass was excellent. At our next trip, we definitely enjoy their stake as well.
Food is absolutely wonderful service is first class and the best view of the strip
Great views of the fountains from a elevated perspective while eating perfected foods! Who could ask for anything more. Prepare to drop about 100$ per plate plus drinks.
Due to our own mistake, we arrived a day late for our birthday celebration dinner reservation. The hostess was most kind and understanding seating us at a table with a wonderful view of the Bellagio fountains. Service was fine; dinner was stellar. Definitely a excellent evening.
It should be a good choice if you don't mind to pay a bit more for it...
The food here is absolutely wonderful and worth every dollar. The view out the windows at night is spectacular.
Enjoyed the whole experience! They offered gluten free bread and desserts and the waiter was very accommodating to our needs.
Good food and service , great window view overlooking Lv strip perfect for a romantic special meal
We dined at the restaurant before going to a show. The restaurant was recommended to us by friends, the whole experience was fantastic ... attentive stafft....beautiful food. ...great wine.....amazing viewd of the strip and fountains. The team were friendly explained the menuvand very courteous I would recommend to anyone visiting Vegas.
I found the service outstanding, the ambience and view both quite impressive, as well as the food wonderfully delicious. It was quite a great experience coupled with an absolutely stunning view. Kudos to the Eiffel Tower Restaurant!!!
I have been going to Vegas for years, and when considering the whole experience. ..food, ambience, decor, and especially the impeccable service and rromantic setting, I rate this right up at the top.
Our plane arrived late and we had to phone from the airport to put our reservation back til later in the evening. Nothing was a problem and on arrival we were very please to get the window seat we had originally requested. The service was very attentive and staff recognized our special occasion. Views over the strip are excellent from window tables and food and service was faultless
From the quick elevator ride up to the elevator back down our anniversary brunch was incredible! Breath taking view from a corner booth over looking the fountains at the Bellagio. The food was so very good, although it will take a while to save enough to go back, my entire family is looking forward to our next brunch perhaps even a dinner here! Our teenager loved the aged parm chicken and the sour cream sorbet (yes sour cream, it is a must try). Thank you all for the fantastic memories and food!
It was another perfect dinner for all of us. The view of the Bellagio fountains and the strip is fantastic. Even us vegetarians had a great meal, lots of flavor!
As a small party of six, we dined at the Eiffel Tower following my daughter's wedding. The staff was exceptionally accommodating, providing a window seat with a great view of the fountains. Everything was lovely and I think the bride and groom will remember it as a wonderful wedding dinner.
Couldn't have ask for a better place to spend an evening with friends and family. Reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food.
The restaurant and the food were wonderful. However, my question is.......... why should I book through OPEN TABLE when I absolutely NEVER GET ANY POINTS for any reservation I make!!!!!!
Requested and received a window seat even I was dining alone. Service was excellent and staff very attentive. Price was comparable with other upscale restaurants in Las Vegas. From appetizer to dessert, the food was excellent. I would like to try lunch the next time I visit Las Vegas.
Me and my boyfriend have been to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving the last two years. This was the 2nd year that we dined at the Eiffel Tower restaurant and had great experiences both times. Each year we made our reservation at 5 PM so we were guaranteed a window seat for the Bellagio water show. The view is simply spectacular. This year was extra special because my boyfriend proposed right before dinner. The staff there is great about celebrating each special occasion. They always start you off with a choice of warm bread and we both ordered steaks which were cooked just the way we like them and very delicious. Since we got engaged they brought us a free dessert. It was a night that I will never forget and I will recommend ETR to anyone I know!
Had a wonderful experience. From food to service, outstanding.
When you go to Las Vegas, you have to go to the restaurant in the Eiffel Tower!!
I ordered the Tasting menu and it was a culinary delight. A little bit of everything. Note that this restaurant is not part of Paris Casino. If you have food and beverage credit from Paris, this restaurant doesn't apply
My friend & I enjoyed our lunch with view of the beautiful Bellagio fountain area. The service was excellent from the initial contact with elevator check in, reception, wait staff. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. The food was Excellent ! ! We both enjoyed our choices. This will be a favorite dining venue for me the next time I am in LV.
Well run, established Vegas institution with amazing views of the Bellagio's water fountain show. Instant hit with the kids. Food is priced high, but it's hey...it's Vegas and worth the price of admission.
The restaurant overlooks the Bellagio fountains and most tables get a view, which is spectacular. It is a large restaurant, and was filled to capacity, so it was quite noisy and crowded. We had a booth next to the window so we were very happy, but wait staff are constantly moving past the very narrow passage to service the long row of booths, so it gets quite busy. The food was delicious, but be prepared to fork out some dollars, although the fixed price menu was reasonable if you want 3 courses. However I thought it was strange that, on a fixed price menu, the sauce was an extra $6???? We didn't linger here, and I wouldn't recommend it for a romantic evening. It is mainly for the experience of dining in such a well appointed restaurant.
Energetic, knowledgable staff and really great food, what more could you want! Oh yeh, a terrific view!
Perfect dining experience. They really go out of their way to make you feel special. Great gluten free options as well.
This is our 4th time at The Eiffel Tower Restaurant, and the second at Thanksgiving Dining. It never disappoints. Food was just great, the service was wonderful. We could not have been more pleased.
Wow! We had a fantastic dinner here. One of the top five steaks I've had in my life. And wow, what a view! Saw the Bellagio fountain show several times during out dinner. Pricey, but highly recommended!
Wonderful experience. Professional and friendly service. We felt appreciated and immediately decided to return for special occasions. We will be taking all out of town guests there in the future. There was no push to get us out after we finished dinner even though the restaurant was full. I would have no problem taking our foodie friends there. Beautiful views regardless of table location. Book it and enjoy!
We booked Thanksgiving dinner at the Eiffel Tower as a romantic treat to end our week stay in Vegas. We expected a wonderful view, good food, good service and a high bill. What we experienced far surpassed everything we expected.... except for the high bill. Don't get me wrong, the dinner was not inexpensive. However nothing was overpriced!! The food was to die for. The service was outstanding. The bill was far less than expected. We WILL go again!!!
Made reservations in advance via opentable and requested fountain view. The entire experience was perfect from start to finish. We arrived a few minutes early prepared to have a drink in the bar while waiting for a table with a fountain view but were taken immediately to the front corner table overlooking the Bellagio fountains and both directions along the strip. Watched the sunset over the mountains then enjoyed a great French meal with an excellent wine. Our server and staff were polite helpful and timely. Topped it off with a delightful soufflé. We both felt the evening was worth every penny. Hope your experience is as memorable as ours.
I went there the night after Thanksgiving. Beautiful view of Las Vegas, especially Bellagio's fountain, great food and service. Must visit in Las Vegas. Have to mention there sautéed foie gras and souflee! They're the best I've ever had! If the noise level is down a bit, this restaurant would be perfect. But..... it's always a busy place.
I went there for brunch, the price is very acceptable and the food are great, recommend this restaurant
Fantastic food, better service, and what a view. The staff were the best we encountered throughout our holiday, really made it a special experience. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be back on our next trip.
This restaurant is top of effile tower of Paris and you can see Bellagio fountain show. Food was very tasty. I liked all foods but especially seafood cause Im big seafood lover. This restaurant has dress code so dont wear loud t shirts cause otherwise they wont let you in. Overall I really enjoyed this restaurant and I definitely will go back when I visit Vegas next time.
The Eiffel Tower Restaurant was beautiful at night. We could see the Bellagio Fountains and the strip out the window. It was a night to remember.
We thoroughly enjoyed a night of fine dining with a fantastic view. The food was impeccably prepared and so delicious. The service was stellar and left us wanting nothing. Very expensive, but on par with much of Vegas fine dining.
We booked a table here during our last trip to Vegas, and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant is busy, with lots of people moving around, but it still manages to be quiet and tidy. The staff were excellent and knowledgeable of the menu, and helped us make a few selections. The drinks (cocktails from the bar) were delicious as well. The food was amazing; you certainly get what you pay for. My girlfriend had the salmon filet and I had the filet mignon Rossini. The hand-rolled pasta side was our favorite of the night, topped off with a chocolate souffle that melted in our mouths. We had a marvelous time and everyone should try this restaurant at least once!
This was my 4 time at this Rest. But they took out Of the menu the papier fish :( so i tried the not amaizing salmon :( and my husband the drausen fish and was soso but the choco and pistacho suffle were great as well the wines!!
Made reservations for a night and asked for a window seat with a view to the Bellagio fountains for a meal and show and sure enough when we showed up they had a great table for us and we had a great meal and show. Customer service was great! Our waiter was friendly, that night we had a complimentary appetizer from the chef, followed by our ordered food which was great!! the beef wellington was cooked to perfection and my girlfriends Steak was one of the best she has ever had. Afterwards we had desert and even the coffee tastes great here, Overall a great experience, will recommend to friends and family and if you are looking for a romantic ambiance and dinner, this is the place to be.
Staff received us graciously, dining perfection, splendid view
Our fourth visit! Always a winner! Food service and view superb!
Everything went great. Definitely would recommend to everyone that has a chance to go the effiel tower restaurant.
My wife and I had just got married and we wanted a special place to finish off our occasion .This was the most romantic and incredible experience in dining either of us have ever had. I highly recommend this for your special occasion. Be sure to ask the Maitre D' for a table next to the windows. Our table overlooked the Belagio so we were able to see the water shows.
This was our first visit to the Eifel Restaurant and we found it very impressive. The service was excellent and helpful, and the view was spectacular. I had the veal medallions and the wife had the duck, with the scallop appetizer and the lobster soup. Everything was very tasty, and well presented. The only drawback was that it got cold quickly even though it was served in a heated plate. All in all it was an excellent dining experience, and we'll probably do it again in the future.
Great food, good service, friendly. A little pricey but worth it for the food, service and a spectacular view. Can get window table by eating a late lunch or early dinner. Great view of the Bellagio water show from 3:00pm on.

By: Tonyaa Weathersbee Posted: March 6 2013 4:19 PM 0 AFP/Getty Images (Special to The Root) -- In June of 2007, I was eating breakfast at a restaurant in downtown Caracas when a sea of Venezuelans flooded the streets shouting their support for their president, Hugo Chávez, after he decided against renewing the license of Radio Caracas Televisión. But in disrupting my breakfast, the crowd also provided me a picture of the Venezuela that I rarely, if ever, saw on television at home. This was a picture that showed the mostly brown and black and poor who viewed Chávez not as a dictator but as a savior. This was the Venezuela that, not unlike the brown and black and poor people in the United States, the media had reduced to invisibility. Chávez died yesterday at age 58 after a long bout with cancer. He died a popular leader, and it's questionable as to whether his reforms will survive amid internal politics and maneuvering by corporations and governments that have coveted that country's oil wealth and resented his efforts to bring socialist reforms to Latin America. But judging from the enthusiasm I saw coming from people of color who were energized by him six years ago, fading into the background won't be an option for them. I traveled to Venezuela with Global Exchange in 2007 to take a two-week Spanish-immersion class in the mountain city of Merida. I was there during a time that was being highly politicized and propagandized. The news, at least back in the U.S., was that Chávez had shut down RCTV, and the speculation was that in doing so, he was moving the country toward totalitarianism. But the throngs of black and brown Venezuelans who gathered to support him apparently didn't believe that. Nor did they care about the fate of a station that rarely saw them in a positive light or, for that matter, at all. What they cared about was the fate of a leader who not only acknowledged his own black features and heritage but also saw theirs. In 2005, two years before my visit there, Chávez had led lawmakers to establish May as Afro-Descendent Month, and May 10 as Afro-Venezuelan Day. That day was chosen to honor José Leonardo Chirino, a black revolutionary who led an insurrection against Spanish colonists in 1795. That was a step toward recognizing and including Afro-Venezuelans in the advancement of the country. It was the start of more steps, such as a 2011 law against racial discrimination and an option on the census for people to identify as Afro-Venezuelan. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

I bought this as a gag gift for my brother, because he is known in our family for "fumagating the house". He LOVED it! The "toot" sound is very real and loud! He actually jumped back when he first heard it. I wish the quality of the plastic bottom would have been better, but for the money it was a great purchase.

Cute gift for penny savers and those who appreciate flatulent humor. The battery compartment does not hold the batteries securely as designed. I had to add additional support to secure the batteries in place.

Easy Bean and Vegetable Soup
Recipe by: Susan Voisin
This delicious soup is a nutritional powerhouse! And, it's so tasty that I have no trouble getting my 8-year-old to eat her vegetables when they're prepared this way.
Using frozen vegetable combinations, such as California or Italian blends, makes throwing this recipe together a snap!
- 5 cups fatfree vegetable broth, (or use water with optional veg. bouillon)
- 14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes — Italian style
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces canned cannelini beans, chickpeas, or other white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 pounds chopped vegetables (may be frozen)–any combination–try to include carrots, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, zucchini
- 1/2 cup diced potatoes or corn kernels (may use frozen, oil-free hash browns)
- 2-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco, or other hot sauce
- 4-6 ounces fresh or frozen spinach
Combine all ingredients except spinach in a large sauce pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. Add additional broth if necessary. Add spinach and cook for 5 more minutes before serving.
Serves 4-8, depending on your appetite

Dr. Keith Ashley, University of North Florida – Early Spanish Missions
In today's Academic Minute, Dr. Keith Ashley of the University of North Florida reveals what life was like for Native Americans at the earliest Spanish missions.
Keith Ashley is Coordinator of Archaeological Research at the University of North Florida where his research is focused on the Native Americans of southeastern North America during the late pre-Columbian and historic (post-European contact) eras. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Florida.
Dr. Keith Ashley – Early Spanish Missions
When most people think of Spanish missions in colonial America, they envision masonry churches in places like California and Texas. But the Spanish mission system began nearly two centuries earlier in northern Florida and coastal Georgia, where simple wooden churches with thatched roofs were built within select Native American villages.
My colleagues and I at the University of North Florida are examining one of these frontier missions through the combined disciplines of archaeology and history. Mission Santa Cruz de Guadalquini currently lies beneath the surface of National Park Service lands in coastal Jacksonville, Florida. Although originally located on St. Simons Island, Georgia, this Mocama Indian community was forced to move to Florida in 1684. Against a turbulent backdrop marked by French piracy and British-backed slave raiding, Santa Cruz survived for only 12 years in Florida.
Our excavations have exposed refuse middens and the outline of a clay-daubed building. We have uncovered artifacts showing that mission Indians at this time were armed with flintlock rifles and acquired goods of Spanish and British origin, yet continued to craft items of clay, bone, and shell. They grew corn and ate European peaches and pigs, but also fished, gathered shellfish, and hunted deer, as they had for millennia along the Atlantic coast.
Missionization brought irreparable change to Native life and culture. But the Mocama were not passive pawns in the process, rather they mediated the winds of European colonization through choices and actions that redefined their culture and distinguished them from Spanish colonizers, as they lived beneath the mission bell.

We are literally watching the Bible unfold before our eyes with the ongoing ingathering of the Jews of Ethiopia. But unlike immigrants from the West, our Ethiopian brothers and sisters often have a difficult time adjusting to life in Israel and fully integrating. Help us make them feel welcome and loved.
Because of the cultural and ethnic differences that the Ethiopians bring with them when they immigrate, it is more challenging for many of them to adjust to the mix of Western and Middle Eastern life in Israel. It is also difficult for many of them to find work and provide for their families.
Consider giving a gift of love this year and help the Ethiopian immigrants feel at home in the Land of Israel.
Israel Today is purchasing nourishing food supplies so Ethiopians can make healthy meals.
For only $15 you can be a blessing to an Ethiopian family today!
Food Bag Contents:
Ester Rada's family history reads like a novel. Driven out of Ethiopia, their country of birth, by famine, Ester's parents escaped on foot to Sudan. They found themselves confined to a refugee camp in life-threatening conditions, and desperation set in until the God of their ancestors intervened. The Radas were Ethiopian Jews, and qualified to be airlifted out of Sudan in 1984 by the Israeli government, during Operation Moses.
Both Israel and Ethiopia are very proud of Miss Israel 2013! Yityish 'Titi' Aynaw, the first Ethiopian Israeli to win the title, is not only beautiful but possesses notable wisdom and self-confidence.
As Africans, it is not easy for Ethiopians to absorb into Israel's east-meets-west culture. Now young Ethiopians can celebrate their heritage at the Malkat Shva Ethiopian Cultural Center in Jerusalem.

While China was hugely impressive in gathering 100 medals, it's not the first time a country has cracked the century mark at the Olympics. In fact, it's been done 16 times previous to this, which seems remarkable.
The most recent country to get 100 or more medals was the U.S. in 1996 , although they had to endure two weeks in Atlanta to do it. It's probably going to be a while before anyone beats the record. The U.S. won 233 medals at the 1904 Games in St. Louis, which were really part of a World's Fair and only spottily attended by foreign athletes. Canadians may recall that one guy from out of town managed a medal, that being Toronto's George Lyon in golf. The story goes that Lyon was pleased with himself that he walked through the clubhouse on his hands. Let's see Phil Mickelson try that.
If you're trying to guess the second highest mark ever for a single nation at the Olympics, you'd be smart to think about the boycotted games of 1980 and 1984. The Soviet Union won 195 medals in Moscow in 1980 when the Americans stayed home in a huff, while the U.S. returned the favour a bit in 1984 by picking up 174 medals in Los Angeles.
Maybe it's just me. I don't usually draw stares when I walk down the street. At least not that I never noticed. But I swapped a few Canada t-shirts on Sunday for a bright-red Russia Olympic shirt that is now my favourite article of clothing. Ever. It's just brilliant.
I swear, however, that people look differently at me with this shirt. It's bright, and pretty smart. But I kinda feel like anyone who looks American or Canadian is giving me the "what for" when they look me up and down. Could be rampant paranoia, which has been known to happen.
But a nice bloke sitting next to me at the closing ceremony on Sunday didn't recognize me, even though we'd sat quite near each other in the Main Press Centre many times. "Oh, yeah," he said. "Toronto Star. I don't know, maybe when I saw you sitting here tonight I just saw the shirt."
Because you don't get much of a breeze inside the Bird's Nest stadium, and trust me and my soaked shirts on that one, the Chinese apparently inserted fans inside the flagpoles so that the flags in the stadium would fly and not simply droop. A nice touch.
It's kinda like seeing McCartney without Lennon, but it was cool to see Jimmy Page blister his way through "Whole Lotta Love" on his guitar during the closing ceremony for the Beijing Games. He had Leona Lewis singing along with his strumming instead of his Led Zeppelin sidekick, Robert Plant. But half a Zep is better than none. Lewis, by the way, was told to change the lyrics of "Whole Lotta Love" so she wouldn't mouth the words "gonna give you every inch of my love." Notwithstanding that it doesn't quite work when a woman sings it, the censorship seemed a little harsh. Then again, consider that in the 1960's the Rolling Stones went on The Ed Sullivan Show and had to change their lyrics from "Let's Spend the Night Together" to "Let's Spend Some Time Together."

Caleb is my second of three children. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of three in January 2007. He has used the OmniPod Insulin Management System since April 2007 and the DexCom Continuos Glucose Monitor since September 2009.
Recent Posts
OmniPod® Insulin Management System UST400 | User Review
Please see our comprehensive review of the OmniPod UST200 system which still applies to the UST400 system.
Executive summary of our review of the UST400 system: lighter, more discreet, better performance, improved range, minor annoyances of new ID screen and multiple confirm screens. Negligible failure rate.
Digging Deeper:
The smaller Pod is the most noticeable change for us, as users for over six years. Caleb's reaction was immediate and dramatic. It is lighter and more comfortable. For days he continued to comment about it – less noticeable under his clothes, could barely feel it, and it's so light. Caleb never ever complained about the former Pod. He doesn't complain about much when it comes to diabetes, and he's also not easily impressed by diabetes developments. So for him to go on and on about how awesome the new Pod is, is noteworthy.
Other improvements I like:
- The range. It is nothing like the increased range that the Dexcom G4 provides, but it is improved. I have found that at times I can be in the hallway while Caleb is in his room sleeping and change a basal rate. In a vehicle, I can deliver a bolus without having to reach back or pass the PDM. Little things like that are a nice plus. It's not completely reliable though. Particularly if the Pod is on Caleb's back and he's facing me thereby creating a barrier between Pod and PDM, connection can be difficult.
- IOB on the home screen. Easy peasy, always at the ready. I no longer need to continuously do math to figure out what's left of delivered bolus'. Caleb is also much more aware of IOB since it's in his face all the time.
That's pretty much it. Other than that it's business as usual for us.
Other Observations:
- I was really looking forward to the new IOB calculation. I thought this would be a significant improvement for us. It's not. After so many years of dealing with IOB, we're so aware of it, that the calculation is nothing more than a verification for us.
- Although the improvements from our perspective are few, the smaller Pod size is a substantial enhancement – much more than I expected. Not only does Caleb find it more comfortable, but we're getting improved insulin delivery. Caleb is back to changing his Pods every three days rather than every other day. His blood sugars have also been much more consistent – this may or may not be to the new Pod. He's on a new schedule at school which may have something to do with it, but I think the Pod is a contributing factor.
- As far as error rate, for several months this was not an issue for us. Over about five months we maybe had two errors.This has changed since the temperature dropped and coats went back on. We seem to be having a static issue. We had this during the first winter of using Omnipod, but not since. After years of going into school for maybe one Pod error a year, I've been into school several times in just the past few weeks to change an errored Pod. It seems to be coincident with putting on or taking off a coat. I hope Insulet will figure this out soon like they did with the older Pods.
- The ID screen is fun – I can change the name to something funny like "Foxy" after Caleb spent a week singing, "What Does The Fox Say", to give him a chuckle the next time he turns it on. He can do the same – leave me little messages to make me smile. It's also annoying – especially for night checks. I suppose the increased range increases the risk that the wrong person can get bolused when there are multiple Podders is the room. Since there are none in our proximity, it would be nice to turn it off.
- The extra confirm screens are also a minor nuisance and even less so than the ID screen, so it's really not even worth mentioning.
We are very happy with the system. We've spoken to Caleb about trying out other pumps. He is not interested. He values the tubelessness of OmniPod over anything else that is available for insulin pumpers today.

By Mom of 2
from Knoxville Tn
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
I got this for my daughter for Christmas. Although she hasn't opened it yet, I think she is going to love it. She has just taken an interest in playing golf and this is perfect if you don't want to invest alot of money in a more expensive set. It looks well made and the perfect size for her. She is almost 9. Can't wait to give it to her.

Excellent starter set for little ones!
By Mrs Alexander
from Fort Drum, NY
About Me Working Parent
This is an excellent starter set for smaller kids. My son is almost 7 and since this is really only half a golf set, he has no problem walking the course with his dad carrying his own bag! The clubs are good quality especially for the price and are perfect for teaching the basics of golf. I highly recommend for ages 5-8, since if your child is much shorter than 42 inches or so the clubs might be too long.

A decent set of clubs that the kids can use for real. The bag is small, but serves the purpose. The balls are a mix of practice with holes (2) and solid practice balls that have a little weight (2).

Time for some serious soul-searching on the usually glib Castle, so it must be the end of another season. "With any luck, this could be your last case," crows the tone deaf-as-usual Capt. "Sir" Gates as the boss lady celebrates the prospect of Kate Beckett being "headed for bigger things" — or so promises the FBI Deputy Director (guest star Kyle Secor) who recruits the sultry homicide pro for a federal task force based in Washington, D.C. And what would that mean for Beckett's still budding but not quite defined romance with Castle? "I think our plot just thickened," quips the mystery writer-turned-crime solver — though he's talking about the week's murder case, not yet aware of his squeeze's big opportunity. With Castle fuming over trust issues that expose doubts in both parties, Beckett is left at an emotional crossroads: "What happens when the music stops? What if all we were in love with was the dance?" ABC dropped the last minutes of the episode (Monday, 10:01/9:01c) from the advance screener, so it's anyone's guess what their next step will be.
It's hard to imagine Dallas without J.R. — a sentiment shared by many when Larry Hagman passed away last Thanksgiving, midway through production of the rebooted soap's second season. Even harder not to contemplate that sad future while watching TNT's two-hour premiere (Monday, 9/8c), where once again the veterans wipe the floor with the young whippersnappers. None more gleefully than Hagman, whose gaunt frailty can't mask the devilish glint beneath those statuesque eyebrows.
"It wasn't a campaign. It was a bad reality show," concludes political operative Steve Schmidt (a forceful Woody Harrelson) toward the end of HBO's controversy-stirring Game Change (Saturday, 9/8c), a searing, sizzlingly well acted docudrama about the decision "to create a dynamic moment" in the 2008 presidential run of John McCain (a salty but sanguine Ed Harris) by selecting "a game-changing pick" in fellow maverick Sarah Palin, "the best actress in American politics." read more
The Emmys are the big draw this weekend — my predictions (a combination wish list/analysis) can be found here — but here's a look at some of the other TV this weekend that stands out.
The summer TV season is winding down, but there's still plenty going on this week. A few annotated highlights:
The Dancing With the Stars Cast Reveal No, even this isn't enough to get me to suggest anyone actually tune into pap like ABC's Bachelor Pad. Between Twitter and the Internet (may I humbly suggest tvguide.com), you'll be covered, should you care to know just who it is we'll be gaping at and mocking (should they stumble) throughout the fall.

The extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller that will be in movie theaters on November 15, 2013, Markus Zusak's unforgettable story is about the ability of books to feed the soul.
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can�t resist�books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.
Markus Zusak is the author of I Am the Messenger, a Printz Honor Book and Los Angeles Times Book Award Finalist, and the international bestseller, The Book Thief, which has been translated into over thirty languages and has sold nine million copies around the world. He lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife and children.
Excellent book that takes place during world war two when the Germans were burning books. It's the story of a charming little girl who acquires books by stealing them. her foster father reads them to her.
Perfect. FAST DELIVERY AND NO ISSUES UPON ARRIVAL
This is the greatest book that no one has ever heard of. I sent this book as a gift to 3 people and they all love it. Young talented author. Great story and characters.
I found this book to be one of the most interesting books, I've read. It was unique, and quite enjoyable. It was an accidental find, and quite a treasure! I even lent it out to a few of my friends, and they ended up getting their own copies...
I love this book so much that I bought several to give as Christmas gifts this year.It really made me think how difficult it is to do the right thing, even when others arenot making the same choices. It also reminds me that even small things canmake a big difference in the lives of other people.One of the best books I've ever read!

DEEP THOUGHTS: The Deep Siren system comprises a disposable gateway buoy with an antenna that gathers radio-frequency signals and converts them to Deep Siren acoustic signals that are converted on board the submarine to text messages.

The Best Science Writing Online 2012
Showcasing more than fifty of the most provocative, original, and significant online essays from 2011, The Best Science Writing Online 2012 will change the way...

The U.S. Navy is considering new technology that will allow land-based officers to communicate with submarines with minimal disruption to the sub's operations and reduced risk of detection. The military hopes that an emerging tactical paging technology dubbed Deep Siren will allow fleet commanders anywhere in the world to instantly communicate with subs despite the latters' depth or speed.
Currently, vessels can only be contacted if they are on or near the surface, which is not only inefficient but dangerous for subs furtively trolling hostile waters. Deep Siren is designed to deliver communications using acoustic, expendable buoys that, when contacted via a communications satellite in the National Security Agency's Global Information Grid, can send and receive messages to and from submerged subs as far as 175 miles (240 kilometers) away depending upon acoustic propagation conditions.
"This is about bringing real-time communications to the sub, without latency," says Bill Matzelevich, a former Navy captain who retired in 2000 and is now a senior manager in government contractor Raytheon Company's Network Centric Systems group. The Navy in July awarded Raytheon a $5.2 million development contract to deliver a Deep Siren tactical paging system. "If you need to get a message urgently to a sub, you might have to wait eight hours for it to come close enough to the surface. A strike group commander may need to change direction and can't get this info to the sub immediately."
Messages to submarines are typically broadcast from onshore naval communication centers for a fixed amount of time--eight hours or so. For a sub to receive these radio-frequency or satellite messages, it must stop what it is doing within that time period, extend an antenna and rise to "periscope depth"— approximately 60 feet (18 meters) below the surface, which is shallow enough to use a periscope. During this time the sub may become more vulnerable to detection and may be more restricted in its ability to perform its mission.
Once at periscope depth, submarines tow a floating long-distance antenna behind them, but the data rates are generally slow and the wire used to tether the antenna to the sub restricts the vessel's agility. "You can only go so fast and so deep with this wire attached," Matzelevich says. "This is Word War II–era technology."
To communicate with a submerged submarine safely, a gateway mechanism is required to deliver messages deeper than periscope depth. The Deep Siren Tactical Paging system is comprised of a disposable gateway buoy with an antenna that gathers radio-frequency signals and converts them to Deep Siren acoustic signals that penetrate the water and are received by the submarine's sonar system. These acoustic signals are then converted on board the submarine to text messages with the Deep Siren receiver. The Deep Siren system also includes a portable transmit station which can be located on shore or carried on board a ship or airplane. "You want to have this be a global capability, where the buoy can be called from anywhere in the world," Matzelevich says.
Working with RRK Technologies, Ltd., in Glasgow, Scotland, and Ultra Electronics Maritime Systems in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Raytheon is developing a Deep Siren system that includes expendable buoys that are five inches (12.7 centimeters) in diameter and about 3.5 feet (one meter) long with antennas that receive signals from a constellation of Iridium Satellite, LLC, communication satellites. The buoys—designed to stay afloat for up to three days—can be ejected out of the sub's trash disposal unit without major modifications to the vessel. In this way, subs can set up their own acoustic networks without the need to tow an antenna.

Swedish firm called the Global Gaming Factory announced today that it has bought The Pirate Bay webpage for just 60 million Swedish Krona (roughly $7.8 million USD or £4.6 million GBP). That's the breaking news for today. There's no need to describe The Pirate Bay, probably everyone here knows about The Pirate Bay web address and has visited it at least a dozen times, searching for pirated software, books, videos, games and everything that can be transferred into zeros and ones. At the moment The Pirate Bay is one of the 100 most visited Internet sites in the world and one of the leading search engines for file sharing. The site has more than 20 million visitors and over one billion searches per month. With the deal completed, GGF acquires domain names and related web sites, including the http://www.thepiratebay.org domain. After the full acquisition The Pirate Bay is said to become as legitimate as possible. A new "business models" are being prepared for it that will compensate "the content providers and copyright owners." Read the full press release below. Source: BusinessWire
Well this will be an interesting investment - surely with it going legit people will just stop going there... there can only be one youtube after all.
What I think too...people use it because its free, how many websites have tried to make the jump from Ad based to subscription and died....lol
Ahem to quote their forum: 12:47 anakata it WONT become a f*cking pay-99c-to-download-a-song service and there will still be a public tracker so, those misunderstandings may be laid to rest Peter S Kolmisoppi: I do not think that I may say for legal reasons. But they are people we trust. And have conditioned things too..
Wow just read a blog entry and the responses. This is bad. Why can't people just be thankful for the hundreds of files they've got for absolutely nothing instead of moaning and whining at them selling? And also Black Hades, you are right. I'm just reading up on it all now.
Is this the beginning of the end? Again big money takes over small initiative that proved successful. I'll just say it, even if I'll get the "Support the devs etc." shouts: No pirated stuff means no more Pirate Bay!
This is a good approach to dominate piracy forever, just buying out the site like as if it were a ransom for game profit. Next stop Warez. Time to catch piracy, dead or alive.
if you ask me it wont be more legal then it is now. it will still be blocked in some countries. like the UK
Heh... that's a good one... wonder why ISPs don't just block pirate sites. Even Google would fail since all it does is point you to other torrent hosting sites.
Its not blocked in the UK - Ive been able to access TBP all on more or less any machine with a net connection
Way to stick it to the man Pirate Bay!!!! Time to move to NewsGroups! I was all ready to pay for my Pirate Bay VPN Tunnel, and now only to see them giving up after all these years. AND FOR WAY 8 million. They could of gotten 40 million + if they would of tried to sell the site......
ARgggh matey. Like any good pirate, they sold their booty and run with the money. Let's be honest here folks, if someone offered W1zz 8 million dollars for TPU how long do you think it would take him to decide to sell it? Edit : Whoops, didn't mean to imply that W1zz is a pirate, just that he is a good businessman.
Ah yes all is well in the kingdom now. When I first read this story and submitted it to Malware I was as gitty as a school girl. Capitalism FTW. Take that you thieving bastards.
LOL. Still gotta see what it'll "evolve" into though. It says it's going legit but really... How can it go legit and still have people go to it every day? One of the worlds most top visited sites down to the least visited site in a day makes it a very bad investment for GGF.
Exactly: one billion downloads today, less than a million tomorrow. Dimwits, the lot of them. There are lots of sites that are infinitely better than TPB. I think TPB became infamous because it has "pirate" in its title. They don't even try to hide what they do unlike the rest of them.
awesome!!!! So i could get a few old rigs going & earn $$$ for hosting some of their shit!!! fucking awesome! im rich bitch!
That is interesting. So technically like a global server, when everyone is guilty of holding pirated software, try convicting all of them. No one in their sane mind is going to try. I did see that they will be going public though, as in shares. Could be interesting. I'm really intrigued by this news i do have to say. It's either going to be a raving success or a gigantic flop.
My money is on flop. Ads don't generate enough money to pay royalties for good content, nevermind paying users too. The number of ads they'd need to pull that off would drive users away.

LSU is unlike nearly every other college football team in the country as they wear white at home. They also wear white on the road as per the usual. But sometimes they wear purple jerseys, and they've had mixed results.
LSU has been wearing white to their home games since the late 1950s, except from 1983-1994 when the NCAA prohibited teams from wearing white at home. Their record during this time was 79-54-3 - not too bad but also not up to their high standards. They were able to get that ban lifted in 1995, however, and have continued to wear white at home ever since.
SEC teams are not able to force LSU to not wear white when they go to Death Valley, but they can make them when the Tigers come to their stadium. Here are a few examples of this happening:

CBS News: Republicans Lied About White House Benghazi E-mails
Here's something you don't see every day -- someone in our corporate media actually calling out Republicans for feeding them lies. Good for CBS and Major Garrett.
Via TPM: Wow, This is Pretty Epic:
Generally, once partisan, tendentious sources leak information that turns out to be wrong, nothing's ever done about it. That's for many reasons, some good or somewhat understandable, mostly bad. But on CBS Evening News tonight, Major Garrett did something I don't feel like I've seen in a really long time or maybe ever on a network news cast. He basically said straight out: Republicans told us these were the quotes, that wasn't true. Quick transcript after the jump …
SCOTT PELLEY: Also at his news conference today the president called for tighter security for U.S. diplomatic facilities to prevent an attack like the one in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Northern Line Incident 'Critical' As Trains Approach Each Other On Single Track Again
Submitted by Pete on 24 July, 2013 - 13:41In the latest incident, which happened at 9.50 on Monday morning (22nd July), the driver was given a target speed and proceeded to depart Finchley Central from platform.
He was already in the process of stopping as he had seen another train heading towards him from Mill Hill East as the Line Control emergency call to stop came through.
The driver was forced to carry out a wrong directional move back to Finchley Central to allow the train from Mill Hill East to continue to Finchley Central, an emergency preventative move that could only be carried out by a driver up-front in the cab.

Organising To Continue With Cycle Hire Scheme Members
Submitted by Pete on 15 August, 2012 - 15:20We note the views of our branch, Regional Organiser and representatives, and agree that the way forward is to pursue our organising plan rather than to take industrial action at this time.
London Transport Regional Council and Camden 3 branch to be advised.
Cycle Hire Scheme 'Boris Bikes' Strike Suspended Following £500 Olympic Payment Offer
Submitted by admin on 26 July, 2012 - 01:57We note the report from our Regional Organiser and the unanimous view of our representatives that we should suspend the industrial action we have notified to start on Friday 27 July. Our campaigning has led to the company offering a £500 pounds Olympic bonus, and our representatives, branch and Organising Unit have drawn up a plan for recruiting new members and getting information to existing members. We further note that a members' meeting will be held within two weeks.
RMT To Ballot "Boris Bikes" Operational Staff For Action Over Olympics Reward And Working Conditions
Submitted by Pete on 30 May, 2012 - 13:48"Despite an increasing workload this summer as we head towards the Olympics the staff running the London cycle hire scheme are facing a bullying management who are imposing outrageous changes to conditions" - Bob Crow
TRANSPORT UNION RMT confirmed today that it is to ballot staff running the London "Boris Bike's" for both strike action and action short of a strike over a range of grievances:
- Imposition of changes to working hours and shift patterns which have been unanimously rejected by our members.
- No offer of any financial reward for working during the Olympics, despite the big increased in workload and the Games' organisers' promotion of cycling during the event.
- The unfair and draconian attendance policy.
CBS Outdoor Industrial Action Stopped Following Improved Pay Offer
Submitted by admin on 29 May, 2012 - 23:45Further to our previous decision GWW 2 May 2012, calling an industrial action ballot of our CBS Outdoor members, we note that the employer has revised its stance, and is now offering 1.75% pay rise (increased from 1.5%) pay rise and an Olympic bonus of £850 (increased from £500).
CBS Outdoor Members To Be Balloted For Strike Action Following Derisory Pay Offer
Submitted by admin on 2 May, 2012 - 01:12That we note the offer from CBS Outdoor of a 1.5% pay rise and a £500 Olympics bonus.
We support our Regional Organiser's view that this offer is derisory and comes nowhere near meeting our aspirations. We therefore instruct the General Secretary to:
- Immediately conduct a ballot of all our CBS Outdoor members for strike action andaction short of strike

Kilauea Volcano Activity Update (from Hawaiian Volcano Observatory)
Updated Nov. 4, 2013
Kilauea volcanic activity continues with lava visible at two locations:
1) At the summit crater, the lava lake level is remaining below the rim, but with a rise in its level in the past month, and lava is visible as a bright glow at night from the Jaggar Museum in Volcanoes National Park. The lava lake has risen in the last few days.
2) On the east rift zone, there are surface flows on the coastal hillside, but the ocean entry points are no longer active. Lava is now flowing to the north of the active vent, rather than flowing toward the ocean (southward). The county of Hawaii has set up viewing areas for the public to view the Kalapana eruption (viewing hours are from 3-9 p.m.). The viewing area is at the end of Hwy. 130, about 10 minutes from our B&B. Another great way to see the lava flows is by helicopter.
For the latest information visit the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory website (link will open in new window).
Good news... getting here is now easier than ever:
United Airlines has daily nonstop service to Hilo, Hawai'i, from Los Angeles (LAX)
