Despite the lack of sign of albacore, ocean anglers have plenty of options heading into what likely will be a four-day weekend for many.
With the Fourth of July Thursday, it's unlikely anyone will light firecrackers and then catch albacore in the tradition of the area's Portuguese fishermen. But yellowtail and bluefin are biting in decent numbers for 1½-day trips. Yellowfin tuna and dorado appear to be making a move north, too, with the Eclipse landing a dorado at 75 miles on Monday. Locally, yellowtail, white seabass, sand bass, calico bass, barracuda, sheephead and an assortment of rockfish are nibbling for half- and three-quarter-day boats. Yep, it should be a very good weekend for ocean fishermen.
John Pye, superintendent of West Coast Air Conditioning, was busy on the job last week helping folks cool off, but he capped it off with some red-hot fishing off Mission Beach.
After working Saturday, Pye joined his girlfriend, Deborah Miller, and crew member, Charlie Iwashita, for a night of fishing for white seabass.
Pye said they baited two balloon rigs, one dropper loop and one with a ¼-ounce slider sinker rig.
They caught seven white seabass (two short of limits for all three), with Deborah landing her first-ever biscuit, a 41-pounder, after some coaching from Pye and Iwashita. Their seven croakers ranged from 29.3 pounds to Pye's best, a fine 58.5-pounder.
"It was a memorable trip with good people and good fishing," Pye said.
Ed Howerton, an ironworker from Spring Valley, also has had some big trips for white seabass and even landed a 24-pound halibut as "bycatch."
Meantime, Capt. Buzz Brizendine says the weather and fishing should be very good for the Fourth of July weekend.
Brizendine, who owns and runs the sport boat Prowler out of Fisherman's Landing, said the fleet is concentrating on kelp paddies and catching yellowtail and bluefin off them on recent trips. He recommends 25-pound gear for yellowtail, which averaged six to 12 pounds, but some have topped 30 pounds, Brizendine said. And anglers will need 30- to 40-pound gear for bluefin that can top 40 pounds. He said the better fishing is beyond 100 miles, southwest of Colonett.
Hook sizes will depend on what bait is available. Brizendine recommends 2/0 and 3/0 hooks for the sardine bait. But anglers should pack smaller No. 1s and No. 2s for anchovies.
As for albacore, Brizendine said he's still hoping for a season on the popular longfins, which have been missing in action for years for the local fleet.
"I say we still have a couple more weeks before we push the panic button on albacore," Brizendine said. "There's plenty of good fishing for yellowtail and bluefin, and dorado are starting to show up, too. The long-range fleet is getting yellowfin tuna below the 1½-day range right now. So it's really looking good with albacore in or out of the equation."
Chad Woods, founder of sportfishingreport.com, said it's been six years since the Southern California fleet had any kind of numbers on albacore. Some were caught late last year and some in 2010, but you have to go back more than 11 years to see any substantial albacore catches by the local fleet.

Isabel Marant Fall 2012
An Isabel Marant collection has, as we all know, always got its legs. Marant is in the thrall of—and made us equally partial to—the cool Parisian rocker gamine whose long, lean pins constantly take her in search of a) artfully unkempt natural hair, b) a scrupulous avoidance of maquillage, and c) the knowledge that a girl looks her best when she's also looking a little like a boy. Yet Marant also has another kind of legs—the rise and rise of her label, which has quietly become a global tour de force; she has six new stores in the works that will open this year, dotted around the world wherever they're enthralled by les jambes too. While it seemed almost inevitable that, by the fashion law of averages, the Isabel Marant label could only fizzle out from its bubbly peak a couple of years back. Well, that supposition turned out to be entirely erroneous. There appears to be no abating of the worldwide desire for Marant's particular brand of girls gone Gauloises chic.
Of course, it's easy to see why. Even when she is showing fall, there's an essential sunniness—and sensuality—to what Isabel Marant creates that doesn't need any great exposition to understand. She has a knack for forging a primal connection between what she designs and how young, cool women want to dress and look, which is to say, at the moment, as undone and as natural as possible; do as little as you can to the hair of Arizona, Anja, Aymeline, et al, appears to be the beauty directive, and it looks good. Backstage, Marant claimed she'd been so busy working on her collection she hadn't even had a chance to look at all the glowing press she'd garnered in the last couple of days. The only thing that had been on her reading list, after sitting in her bureau for years, was a copy of Cowgirls, a photographic study of the gals who wrangle and work the farm in tough, rugged masculine jeans, but wear, to appeal to their feminine side, delicate lace blouses.
Put that way, it's obvious Marant territory, with her look built around the legs encased in cropped skinny jeans in pale pink or black, emblazoned with cowboy-style piped yokes, a swish of gaucho metal-adorned fringing, and flower embroideries traced down the side of the legs. That abbreviated trouser shape, cut with a slight kick at the hem, is reaching its crescendo in Paris, and what made these appear so easy and desirable was that they didn't need a strict jacket on top to work. Perish the thought: Marant is delving into everything from pretty Edwardiana (fragile lace), to swaggering, oversize military coats, to ocelot-print fur, to still more of her quilted and patched (and, in this case) studded cardigan jackets, to keep the look broken in, and approachable, and friendly. When she wasn't working with pants, she simply switched them out for short, pleated silk lingerie skirts. Regardless, those legs were well to the fore.

PRINCETON, N.J. - The University of Pennsylvania women's golf team finished in a tie for fifth place out of eight teams at the season-opening Princeton Invitational. The tournament was 54 holes and took place on the Tigers' Springdale Golf Club, which played at par-72 for the weekend.

Lead Poisoning Symptoms
What are the symptoms of lead poisoning?
Medical Author: Benjamin C. Wedro, MD, FACEP, FAAEM
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lead poisoning affects 250,000 children under 5 years of age in the United States. Furthermore, there is no evidence that the rates of exposure of children to lead is decreasing.
Lead gradually accumulates in the body due to long-term exposure in the environment. It is especially dangerous to newborns, infants, and small children because the effects on the developing brain may be permanent and irreversible. Initial symptoms in infants and children include:
- irritability,
- abdominal pain,
- vomiting, and
- constipation.
These initial symptoms may be initially misdiagnosed since most health care professionals don't think of lead poisoning as a possibility. But when weight loss, sluggishness, and slow growth appear as longer lasting symptoms, then the potential for many unusual diagnoses exists and lead is a prime candidate.

SEC tourney, Day 4: Ole Miss set for finale vs. Florida
Published: Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 5:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 5:54 p.m.
Mississippi 64, Vanderbilt 52
What it means: Ole Miss, now 25-8, is playing in the SEC Tournament final against Florida. This is the Rebels' first appearance in the final since 2001. They have won the tournament one time (in 1981) and likely secured an NCAA Tournament berth with the win. Vandy actually led by as many as nine in the first half, but the Rebels came back to tie the game at the half. The Commodores looked like a team that was playing its third game in three days. The Commodores end their season at 16-17.
Player of the game: Marshall Henderson needed 17 shots to get his 23 points, but he made a couple of dagger 3s in the game. Henderson also had three rebounds, a pair of assists and put on a dribbling show to help run out the clock at the end of the game.
Inside the box score: This was a game of missed shots. Ole Miss won despite missing 15 3-point attempts and 16 free throws. Vanderbilt missed 23 shots from behind the arc.

Feel free to answer any or all of the profile questions, add items to your List, and change your avatar. Please note that you must have a minimum of 10 posts, or have been a member of Head-Fi for 15 days and made 5 posts to be able to edit your profile. Learn more about how to personalize your profile in our Community Profile Tutorial.
What are subscriptions? How do I use them?
The members of Head-Fi create A LOT of content, but not all of it will be for you - that's why you can subscribe to what's interesting. You can subscribe to specific threads in forums, to individual wiki articles, or to tags, or users so you receive updates of all of their content.
One very powerful feature of the subscriptions is that you can actually subscribe to whole categories of products/content. On Head-Fi, you can just subscribe to a category tag and it's as though you subscribed to every single item underneath that heading. Pretty cool. Browse the Head Gear tab to see what other categories you can subscribe to.
We don't want to inundate anyone, so you can determine the frequency with which you receive these updates. When you're logged in, go to your home page and click the "Manage Subscriptions" link - here you can set the frequency to Instant, Daily, Weekly, or Never. Learn more about subscriptions in our Subscription Tutorial.
Can I remove someone else's post to my bulletin board?
Of course - if you're logged in and looking at your own Profile, each Bulletin Board post should appear with a "Delete" button underneath it. Clicking that link will delete the unwanted post immediately. Learn more about private messages and bulletin board posts with our Messaging Tutorial.
What's the deal with tags? They seem important but how exactly do they work?
Tags are a vital component of our system - they are the means by which we can tie together the forum, wiki, review, product profile, and other content. Learn more about how tags work and how to use them in our Tagging Tutorial.
If I read something that violates the Community Guidelines or just isn't helpful, what should I do?
Most all content in the site has the option to rate or vote it up. This helps the best content rise up above the mediocre (or downright bad) content. Beyond that, you can flag or report a forum post or Wiki article with the "Report to Admin" button.
I love the community. How do I invite my friends?
Great question - you gotta share the love. On your logged in home page, on the right hand side, half way down the page, you'll see a button that says "Invite your Friends". Simply enter their email addresses in the "To:" box (multiple email addresses separated by commas) and we'll shoot off invites from you to your friends.
I am a manufacturer. Is there anything special for me?
Our site's focus is user generated content, so we ask that you do not review your own products. However, we do think it's important to get manufacturers in the conversation. As such, we've got a program to help you engage your potential customers, get feedback from key influencers, build brand loyalty, and even drive traffic to your website and consequently sales. For more details on the Industry Insiders program, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Why can't I download attachments?
Only users in certain user groups are allowed to download attachments. If you received an error message that says "Sorry, you don't have the required permissions to download attachments.", then you are not in one of those user groups.
Head Gear QuestionsWhat is Your List?
Your List is a way of organizing the gear you Own, Want, and Had and resorts you regularly visit or want to visit. When you want to add an item to Your List, simply go to that items's home page, and click "Add to Your List."
Lists are a means to connect you with other Head-Fiers with similar interests and experience who you can hopefully learn from or at least enjoying talking to. We also compile everyone's List data to provide you with really cool, unbiased statistics about what products the community is actually using. Learn more about editing Your List with the Community Profile Tutorial.
Items I "Had"? What does that mean?
If you used to own a product, but don't anymore, that means you "had it!" The "Had It" category allows you to reflect this knowledge to your fellow users.
I have a bunch of stuff that I want to add to my List, but it's not in the system.
At any time, you can add a new item to the database. It is, however, very important that you don't add a duplicate of something that we already have. If it's just a different color of something else in the system, please don't add it. If we really don't have it and it fits within the existing categories, then go for it! Clicking the "Add Item" links throughout the site will prompt a wizard that will take you through the process of adding it to the correct product category. Check out a step by step guide to adding items with the Add A New Item Tutorial.
The stuff I want to add doesn't fit in any of your current product categories.
If we are not covering a product category that you think is vital to this community, please let us know in the Feedback Forum. We need your help to make this the best resource possible!
Can I review a product I'm connected to?
The focus of our community is user generated content. To preserve its integrity, you should not review your own products or business or a business at which you have been or are currently employed. However, we do think it's important to get manufacturers in the conversation. As such, we've got a program to help you engage your potential customers, get feedback from key influencers, build brand loyalty, and even drive traffic to your website and consequently sales. For more details on the Industry Insiders program, email email@example.com.
Can I delete a review once I've written it?
At this time, once you post a review, you cannot delete it. However, you can always edit it! Check out this tutorial on editing reviews.
Internet Browser QuestionsThe site doesn't appear properly in my browser.
If you're having browser problems, please check to see if you are using an A-Grade Browser. Our site performs optimally on the browsers listed in the A-Grade Browser Support Chart.
I keep getting a popover asking me to allow access to my Clipboard. I hate it!
Unfortunately, this is an issue with Internet Explorer 7 and 8. To deactivate this popover, you will need to change your browser security settings:
- Go to Tools -> Internet Options.
- Go to Security tab.
- Select "Internet" zone, then click on "Custom level…" button.
- Scroll down to "Scripting" section (at the bottom few).
- Under "Allow Programmatic clipboard access" option, check or select (tick) Enable. Default action for this option is Prompt, which cause the pop-up message whenever there is any attempt to access the Clipboard.
- Click Ok twice to exit from Internet Options.
Why can't I right click and use Firefox's spell checker?
Because we use a fully WYSIWYG (What you See is What You Get) editor, the right click is needed to be able to pull up image and table properties, cut and paste, etc. However, fear not. There is a work-around to be able to keep using it.
If you hold ctrl (PC) or Command (Mac) when you right click in FF, it will treat the right click as though it's outside of the text editor.
This is an extra step for folks, but the idea was to provide the power of the context sensitive menus in the editor (to align images, add borders, color table cells, etc.) but also enable you to take advantage of good 'ol Firefox.
About the Huddler PlatformWhat is the Huddler.com platform?
You may have noticed that Head-Fi is powered by Huddler.com. But what is Huddler.com? We think of Huddler as the next generation of online product review and research. The communities based on the Huddler platform are designed to be valuable if you're researching options before making a purchase, as well as a great community to consult for tips after you've already become an owner. Some beliefs that we've applied while building Huddler:
- The sites with the best content online are generally narrow in their focus - that's why each community is specific to a relatively small set of interests like Skiing, Home Theater, Cooking, and more.
- We're not one dimensional and you're likely not either. Just because we're passionate about conserving electricity or reducing waste doesn't mean we don't also love to tear up the ski slopes or take beautiful digital photographs. As Huddler grows, we will be an interconnected network of vibrant communities where people can learn, and share their knowledge about all of their different passions.
- You can only talk about products, which ones you like, and how to use them for so long. We're here to have fun too! Private message people you find interesting, chat it up in the forums - this was all built for you to enjoy.
I have a great feature idea for you guys - who should I talk to?
We have our Feedback Forum open 24 hours a day. Also, feel free to use our feedback form.
I would love to convert my site to the Huddler platform! Who do I talk to?
We're always excited to talk to site owners about converting their discussion forms to the dynamic Huddler.com platform. If you're interested in learning more about the platform, feel free to email email@example.com or use our feedback form.

When you hear the word "Italian," what does it bring to mind? I think of my grandmother and Sunday afternoon dinners with her fabulous spaghetti sauce. October is Italian-American heritage month, and there's no better way to celebrate your heritage than to gather around the Italian dinner table and begin recording information about your Italian family history. Italian-Americans, like other ethnic groups, risk losing their unique customs and traditions as they're assimilated into "American" culture. One way of keeping that ethnic culture alive is to trace your family history and study the lives of your Italian ancestors.
Northern Italians began arriving in America in small numbers during colonial times. Because Italy wasn't unified until the 1860s, its people considered themselves citizens of a village or region, rather than a nation. In the records you may find these early arrivals recorded by region — Genoese or Florentine, for example — rather than as "Italian." Those who arrived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were mostly Italian peasants and unskilled laborers from southern Italy — the regions of Abruzzi, Molise, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria and Campania, parts of Latium, and the island of Sicily.

I have this memory from my childhood. I was about 9 or 10 and sitting on the stoop of our house on St. Ann Street near North Broad when a group of three or four men came up the street.
One was carrying a tambourine, and they all were singing. They weren't costumed, though one had a handkerchief on his head with all four corners tied in knots so it would fit snugly, a neat trick that I probably tried to replicate later. It wasn't Mardi Gras or any other special day. They were singing simply for the pure joy of doing so.
Though I would not have been using words like this at that age, I think my mental response was something along the lines of, "What a strange and wondrous place this is!"
Music is in this city's blood and can spring up spontaneously from just about anywhere. In the last several years, however, fights have erupted over live music at local bars and restaurants. Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration cracked down on establishments that don't have permits for live entertainment or have let their permits lapse.
The crackdown was not well-received among the city's club owners and musicians, most notably, Kermit Ruffins, who has been holding meetings of people who want to fight back. Ruffins got caught in a bind himself after leasing Ernie K-Doe's Mother-in-Law Lounge and finding out the live-music permit for the club had lapsed. But the City Council remedied that by rezoning the club's lot, making the music legal again.
There have been other attempts at reaching a middle ground on the issue. Clubs that had been out of compliance are trying to get back on the right side of the law. The city, meanwhile, is trying to come up with a streamlined process to make it easier for businesses to know what they need and how to get it quickly.
In the wake of all that, however, another controversy arose when the council approved a $25 permit for vendors selling refreshments at second-line parades. These vendors are individuals who sell soft drinks and snacks, and even beer and barbecue, along the parade routes. They laid claim to the mantle of city tradition and said that, as such, they should not be meddled with.
The city's ancient ways have always been at odds with modernity. Few who were here in the 1960s will forget the major controversy over the Robert Moses-inspired plan to have an elevated expressway run along the Mississippi River in the French Quarter. And then there was the ill-fated idea to mount a "sound and light show" that would splash colored lights on the side of St. Louis Cathedral.
Now there's a new front in this continuing skirmish, a proposal to shut down the streets on three sides of Jackson Square from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. The city wants to prevent people from lingering there, including fortune tellers who bring tables to work from, so the area can be thoroughly cleaned.
As might have been expected, the proposal has triggered vocal opposition.
There's a lot to be said for the city's old ways, but there's a lot to be said for modern sanitation practices, too. The two aren't mutually exclusive, by the way. The trick in this and similar battles will be to find a way to preserve the city's strange and wondrous character while sneaking in a few contemporary efficiencies as well.

Treatment for cholestasis of pregnancy aims to relieve itching and prevent complications.
To soothe intense itching, your pregnancy care provider may recommend:
You might be tempted to take an antihistamine or use an anti-itch (corticosteroid) cream to relieve the intense itching associated with this condition. Antihistamines are often ineffective and may pose risks to your developing baby. And if they do work, you may not feel the need to see your pregnancy care provider, delaying effective diagnosis and treatment. Corticosteroid creams and lotions don't work to relieve the itching of cholestasis of pregnancy. In addition, using too much corticosteroid cream may pose a risk to the baby.
Because complications related to the baby's health can be serious, your pregnancy care provider may recommend close monitoring of your baby during pregnancy. Measures your pregnancy care provider might take include:

PUPILS and teachers at a village school were delighted when inspectors rated their school as outstanding across all categories.
Grimley and Holt CE Primary school was described by Ofsted as giving its pupils excellent, individual care and attention which enabled them to make exceptionally rapid progress and achieve high standards.
Inspectors found children started reception at the level typically expected for their age and made consistently good progress with rapid progress made in their personal development, language and communication skills.
The children reached high standards in English and maths by the end of year 6.
In the past two years, pupils left the school more than a year ahead of pupils nationally.
Disabled pupils, those eligible for the pupil premium, and those who have special educational needs make similar progress to other pupils.
Inspectors found the quality of teaching was outstanding with teachers delivering lessons that were highly enjoyable and which provided consistent challenge.
They also said teachers struck an excellent balance between giving pupils information and challenging them to learn for themselves.
Reading was said to be taught particularly well.
An observed mathematics lessons was described as outstanding but inspectors said not all teachers had enough confidence in teaching mathematics to encourage highly individualised learning.
The behaviour and safety of pupils was said to be outstanding with pupils described as polite and respectful.
The pupils' showed an exceptional enthusiasm for learning and were proud of their school.
Inspectors said pupils felt safe in school and bullying was rare with attendance at the school above average.
Headteacher Helen Hoarle was praised for her clear and strong leadership and the report said she regularly checked the quality of teaching and organised training where required.
The local authority recognised the school as a leader in curriculum innovation and the school was praised for its creative use of topics to link subjects together and give a real-life context to the pupils' studies.
The governing body was said to be much more effective than at a previous inspection.
Mrs Hoarle said: "I think our success was down to all the team and their hard work and commitment.
"It's a pleasure to lead them."
About the school
*Grimley and Holt CE Primary is a smaller than average school
*The number of pupils allocated extra government funding, the pupil premium, is lower than in most schools
*An average number of pupils have special educational needs
What the school does well
*Teaching is consistently good, and often outstanding
*Pupils behave and attend well
*The curriculum is innovative and enjoyable
How can the school improve?
*Make learning in maths as exciting and memorable as it is in English

• cloy •
Pronunciation: kloy • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb
Meaning: 1. To nauseate by being too pleasant tasting or smelling, especially too sweet. 2. To clog, to satiate, to burden.
Notes: The adjective accompanying this word is the form most often encountered in English, as a cloying smell. It has drifted away from the original meaning of the verb cloy, though. The original meaning, now archaic, of cloy was "to nail", and was used especially to render a gun useless by driving a nail in the touch hole. This led to the sense of "obstruct", especially the digestive system with too much food, a meaning which is still in use.
In Play: The second meaning of today's word is still current, though we don't hear it or read it very often: "Not to cloy you with particulars, I wrecked our car somewhat tonight." The first meaning is used often enough in sentences like this: "Children and puppies in TV commercials tend to cloy after a while."
Word History: Aphesis is the omission of some initial part of a word, as in 'coon for raccoon and squire for esquire. Today's Good Word is an aphetic form for obsolete accloy "to nail, to clog" from Middle English acloien. English borrowed this word from Old French encloer "to nail, to drive a nail into", which it inherited from Medieval Latin inclavare, based on Latin in- "in" + clavare "to nail", from clavus "nail". Do not confuse clavus with clavis "key", which English borrowed in clavicle and clavier. Even though they ultimately come from the same Proto-Indo-European word, by the time it arrived in Latin, it had acquired two endings and two different meanings. Apparently a bent nail originally served as a key.

Re: CLOY
Cloying is on my list of the 100 most ugly words in the English language. Although it is not onomatopoeic, it sounds the way I feel when something is cloying. Still, it serves its humble purpose.
It is dark at night, but the Sun will come up and then we can see.

AFTER years of delays and near derailment, the Indonesian government has this week signed a contract to begin the world's largest scheme to preserve virgin tropical forest in return for carbon credits.
The Rimba Raya scheme seeks to save 80,000 hectares of carbon rich forest in central Borneo, much of it peat swamp, from oil palm plantations. It will pay for this over the 30-year life of the project by selling carbon credits into the global marketplace, including Australia's carbon trading scheme.
The project has been hailed by Dr Birut Mary Galdikas of Orang-utan Foundation International as being ''the hope and future of an entire species''.
''Rimba Raya will be one of the most important orang-utan conservation projects in the world. It is nothing less than the promise of survival for the endangered orang-utan,'' she said.
Rimba Raya is Indonesia's first REDD ''Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation'' scheme, the largest in the world, and also the first built largely on peat swamp.
The project was first proposed in 2007 but was almost dealt a death blow last year when Indonesia's notoriously corrupt forestry ministry announced it would halve its size, rendering it unworkable. The ministry said other land users, mainly palm oil plantations, had prior claims.
About 10 per cent of the total proposed area was allocated to oil palm company PT Best.
That company, though, has changed its mind. A statement released at the global climate change talks in Doha, Qatar, this week, quoted PT Best chairman Winarto Tjajadi saying it has vacated its legal right to the land because ''mutual friends'' had convinced it to.
REDD promises to create a financial incentive to preserve forests by selling carbon credits to global companies that struggle to reduce emissions.

Eggs Benedict, Lightened Upby Dana Angelo White in Meal Makeovers, May 9, 2012
Eggs Benedict is my all time favorite breakfast, but it can be a bit heavy. Here's a traditional recipe with a few healthy twists.
Nutrition Facts
An order of Eggs Benedict at IHOP has 1020 calories and almost 60 grams of fat – and those aren't even the most outrageous numbers I've seen. Large portions of meat and gobs of buttery sauces are mostly to blame.
Healthy Tips
There are some healthy elements to this dish. Since the eggs are poached they are cooked without fat and Canadian bacon is a much leaner choice than regular bacon. To make things even more nutritious, use whole grain English muffins and add some fresh veggies to the mix. Depending on what's in season choose from baby spinach, sauteed mushrooms or a thick slice of fresh heirloom tomato.
Eggs Benedict wouldn't be the same without a creamy hollandaise sauce. Keeping portions to 1 tablespoon per person only adds 59 calories and 6 grams of fat.
Healthy Eats' Eggs Benedict
Serves: 4
8 large eggs
4 whole wheat English muffins (8 halves)
8 thin slices Canadian
2 cups baby spinach leaves
4 tablespoons Food Network Kitchen's Hollandaise Sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
Use our tips for poaching eggs perfectly. While eggs are cooking, toast English muffins, heat Canadian bacon in a nonstick skillet, and prepare hollandaise sauce.
To assemble, top each English muffin with a slice of Canadian bacon, a few leaves of baby spinach and then the poached egg. Top each piece with ½ tablespoon hollandaise and a sprinkle of black pepper.

To keep everyone from obsessing about her love life, Grace announces that she's seeing someone. Someone wonderful. Someone handsome. Someone completely made up. Who is this Mr. Right? Someone, exactly unlike her renegade neighbor Callahan O'Shea. Well, someone with his looks maybe. His hot body. His knife-sharp sense of humor. His smarts and big heart. Whoa. No. Callahan O'Shea is not her perfect man! Not with his unsavory past. So why does Mr. Wrong feel so...right?" In this must-have short-story anthology, Jennifer Weiner revisits one of her Good in Bed characters (and tells the story from, ahem, his point of view), Jill A. Davis (Girls' Poker Night) offers a darkly humorous take on starting over in New York and working with "the Elizabeths," Sarah Miynowski (Milkrun) tempts fate (and an on-again-off-again boyfriend) and Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez (The Dirty Girls Social Club) considers how different the words lady and woman are when paired with cat. Girls' Night In features stories about growing up, growing out of, moving out, moving on, falling apart and getting it all together. So turn off your cell phone and curl up on the couch; this is one Girls' Night In you won't want to miss. In her 57th bestselling novel, Danielle Steel brilliantly chronicles the roller-coaster ride of dating the second time around—and tells a captivating story of the surprises one woman encounters when she's thrust into the terrifying, exhilarating world of the Dating Game. At thirty, Grace O'Bryan has dated every loser in Daytona Beach. After the ultimate date-from-hell, Grace decides to turn her dwindling book club into a Boyfriend of the Month Club, where women can discuss the eligible men in their community. Where are the real life twenty-first century versions of literary heroes such as Heathcliff and Mr. Darcy? Could it be successful and handsome Brandon Farrell, who is willing to overlook his disastrous first date with Grace and offers financial help for her parents' failing Florida gift shop? Or maybe sexy dentist Joe Rosenblum, who's great with a smile but not so great at commitment? Unfortunately, like books, men cannot always be judged by their covers. When Pearl Richland inherits her aunt's 1950s motel she returns to her roots. Tired of the big city, she's ready for small town life, especially when sexy cowboy Wil Marshall comes in to escape an ice storm. Pearl never thought she'd turn in her high heels and start dating a cowboy, but Wil's got an awful lot to offer if a girl's available for a whole lot of fun, sizzle, and unexpected trouble. Father's Day: Robin Masterson's ten-year-old son, Jeff, figures he needs a dog more than anything in the world. And there just happens to be one right next door! But the friendly black Lab belongs to Cole Camden, the "unfriendliest" man in the neighborhood. Still, Jeff persists...and soon his mom and Cole are looking at each other in a whole new way. The courtship of Carol Sommars: Peter Sommars is fifteen, and what he needs is a little more independence. Which is why he'd like his mom, Carol, to start dating. He even knows the perfect man--Alex Preston, his best friend's dad. As it turns out, Alex is interested, but Carol's doing everything she can to sidestep his pursuit. Which only makes Alex--and the boys--more determined! A glamorous fish-out-of-water first novel, Paris Hangover stars Klein, a just-escaped New Yorker with trunk-fulls of fabulous footwear but without the significant relationship she'd really expected and longed to have by now, in her mid-thirties. Fleeing a live-in lover and their sleek Tribeca triplex as well as a career in fashion, Klein stars over in Paris-in a tiny walk-up in the 6th that she had to lie (in broken Franglais) and write a bad check to get, only to discover that, among other things, Parisian apartments don't come with kitchens. Living out of her ten piece of (Louis Vuitton, natch) luggage, Klein plunges into the mysterious world of French men and dating. She muddles her way through: the sexy Renaud, the prototypical Frenchman; dating three men named Jean simultaneously; and one completely wrong Monsieur Married Man, who wants Klein for his very well-kept mistress. Set against a backdrop of knowing references to Paris and its unique manners and mores, Paris Hangover is ultimately a very satisfying modern romance as Klein falls-- possibly permanently--for the least likely man to catch her eye. Jodi and Jill Spingold are the Spinster Sisters. With a radio show, speaking engagements, DVDs, and two bestselling books, they've built a thriving cottage industry helping other single women find happiness. Their futures have never been brighter-until Jill turns out the lights on Jodi by announcing her engagement. Jodi is stunned. How can they be the Spinster Sisters if one of them is married? Complicating things is her own love life, involving three vastly different paramours offering three different kinds of happiness-none of which Jodi is sure she wants. And her ex-husband, backed by his lawyer girlfriend, may be angling for a piece of the Spinster Sisters empire. Now, Jodi must make some tough decisions, keep the business afloat, and get to the altar to stand by her sister-even if means that from now on she'll be single all by herself. In the city that never sleeps, love is always on the mind. Those passions come together as they create a kaleidoscope of the spontaneous, surprising, electrifying human connections that pump the city's heartbeat. Sexy, funny, haunting and revealing encounters unfold beneath the Manhattan skyline. From Tribeca to Central Park to Brooklyn, the story weaves a tale of love as diverse as the very fabric of New York itself. A collection of 10 different love stories. The outrageously funny comedy that asks: can nineteen wrongs make Mr. Right? When Ally Darling reads an article that leads her to believe she's going to be alone forever, she begins a wild search to find the best 'ex' of her life. But Ally's quest to reconnect with her former lovers goes hilariously awry, from a puppeteer who's more wooden than his puppet to a gynecologist with a 'spotty' memory. Through it all, Ally might just find the man of her dreams in the last place she ever expected. - MA Blog: asblog Adults's blog

Generic Name: saxagliptin (SAX-a-GLIP-tin)
Brand Name: Onglyza
Onglyza is used for:
Treating type 2 diabetes. It is used along with diet and exercise. It may be used alone or with other antidiabetic medicines.
Onglyza is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It works by increasing the amount of insulin released by your body and by decreasing the amount of sugar made by your body.
Do NOT use Onglyza if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Onglyza
- you have type 1 diabetes
- you have high blood or urine ketone levels associated with diabetes (diabetic ketoacidosis)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Onglyza:
Some medical conditions may interact with Onglyza. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of angioedema (swelling of the hands, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue; difficulty swallowing or breathing; or hoarseness) caused by another DPP-4 inhibitor (eg, sitagliptin)
- if you have kidney problems or are on dialysis
- if you have an unusual or prolonged infection or a history of diabetic ketoacidosis
- if you have a history of pancreatitis, gallstones, high blood triglyceride levels, or alcohol abuse
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Onglyza. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Thiazolidinediones (eg, pioglitazone) because the risk of peripheral edema (swelling of the hands and feet) may be increased
- Atazanavir, boceprevir, clarithromycin, cobicistat, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, mifepristone, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telaprevir, telithromycin, or voriconazole because they may increase the risk of Onglyza's side effects
- Insulins or sulfonylureas (eg, glipizide) because the risk of low blood sugar may be increased
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Onglyza may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Onglyza:
Use Onglyza as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Onglyza comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Onglyza refilled.
- Take Onglyza by mouth with or without food.
- Swallow Onglyza whole. Do not break, crush, or chew before swallowing.
- Continue to take Onglyza even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.
- If you miss a dose of Onglyza, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Onglyza.
Important safety information:
- Carry an ID card at all times that says you have diabetes.
- Follow the diet and exercise program given to you by your health care provider. Proper diet, regular exercise, and regular blood sugar testing are important for best results with Onglyza.
- Check your blood sugar levels as directed by your doctor. If they are often higher or lower than they should be and you take Onglyza exactly as prescribed, tell your doctor.
- Do NOT take more than the recommended dose without checking with your doctor.
- It may be harder to control your blood sugar during times of stress such as fever, infection, injury, or surgery. Talk with your doctor about how to control your blood sugar if any of these occur. Do not change the dose of your medicine without checking with your doctor.
- The risk of low blood sugar may be increased when Onglyza is used along with certain other medicines for diabetes (eg, insulin, sulfonylureas). Low blood sugar may make you anxious, sweaty, weak, dizzy, drowsy, or faint. It may also make your heart beat faster; make your vision change; give you a headache, chills, or tremors; or make you more hungry. It is a good idea to carry a reliable source of glucose (eg, tablets or gel) to treat low blood sugar. If this is not available, you should eat or drink a quick source of sugar like table sugar, honey, candy, orange juice, or non-diet soda. This will raise your blood sugar level quickly. Tell your doctor right away if this happens. To prevent low blood sugar, eat meals at the same time each day and do not skip meals.
- Severe and sometimes fatal inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) has been reported in patients taking Onglyza. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop severe or persistent stomach or back pain with or without nausea or vomiting.
- Lab tests, including fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and kidney function, may be performed while you use Onglyza. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use Onglyza with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Onglyza should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 18 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY AND BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Onglyza while you are pregnant. It is not known if this medicine is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Onglyza, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
Possible side effects of Onglyza:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Headache; symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection (eg, cough, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat).
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing or swallowing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, throat, or tongue; unusual hoarseness); flaking, peeling, or swelling of the skin; frequent or painful urination; swelling of the hands, ankles, legs, or feet; symptoms of pancreatitis (eg, severe stomach or back pain with or without nausea or vomiting).
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.
If OVERDOSE is suspected:
Contact 1-800-222-1222 (the American Association of Poison Control Centers), your local poison control center, or emergency room immediately.Proper storage of Onglyza:
Store Onglyza at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Onglyza out of the reach of children and away from pets.
General information:
- If you have any questions about Onglyza, please talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.

As if a massive data breach during the holidays wasn't bad enough for Target, now it appears the retailer sold faulty gift cards, too.
The nation's second largest discount retailer confirmed to Bankrate that 0.1 percent of gift cards it sold during the holidays were not activated properly, according to company spokeswoman, Molly Snyder.
Consumers with faulty gift cards would find their cards had a zero balance, Snyder says. Affected consumers can bring the card to the customer service desk at their local store or call 1-800-544-2943 for assistance. The retailer will honor all impacted cards, Snyder says.
The latest snafu pales in comparison to the huge breach Target stores suffered from Nov. 27 through Dec. 15. The retailer said 40 million credit card and debit card accounts were compromised in the breach. Hackers stole consumer's names, card account numbers, expiration dates, security codes and encrypted personal identification numbers, or PINs, of debit cards. It was the second largest data breach at a U.S. retailer.
Did you get a faulty Target gift card? Was it resolved?

ANAHEIM – Korina Dascoulias wore a smile as big as Mickey Mouse as she waited for the gates to open at Disneyland, where she planned to spend the next 24 hours.
The 18-year-old looked full of energy for having slept only 10 minutes the night before on the pavement in front of the gates.
"I got about an hour — I'm pretty much known for being able to sleep anywhere," added Maegan Olson, 19.
The two women left their homes in Huntington Beach around 8:30 Thursday night, driving up Harbor Boulevard and hoping to beat the crowds for the Monstrous Summer All-NIghter. Korina comes to Disneyland and California Adventure two to three times in a normal week. She and Maegan, friends since sophomore year at Marina High School, were determined to stay for the duration in crowds that swelled near 100,000 in the resort at times from 6 a.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday.
Maegan carried a Simba Pillow Pet and backpack stuffed with three Diet Cokes, extra socks, a loaf of pumpkin bread, a bottle of Starbucks coffee and a juice box. Korina's provisions included a Minnie Mouse Snuggie, a Mickey Mouse pillow, deodorant and two heavy books of more than 150 trading pins. They each had a change of clothes, a toothbrush, money and a plan.
First stop: shopping. The Emporium on Main Street carried limited-edition merchandise made for this day and designed to promote the June release of the movie "Monster University." It included blue fur hats with round ears for the character Sully, hats that seemed to pop up on every third head in the crowds. Korina and Maegan rented three lockers at $10 each to stash their stuff.
Finding Disney characters was as much on their list as the rides — and proved less complicated. Getting their picture taken with Chip 'n' Dale was a breeze compared to the Indiana Jones Adventure ride. It broke down. Twice. The train came to a jolting stop during both trips and the lights came on.
"It turned out to be pretty exciting," said Korina, who studies digital media and arts at Golden West College, hoping to someday work for Disney. "I thought we were going to be walked off the ride. I've never had that happen."
Wearing "Star Wars" T-shirts, they managed to snap a photo with Stormtroopers from the movie. Later Friday afternoon, the women went to California Adventure and met Sully.
"He was big and furry," Maegan beamed.
Korina and Maegan hit a big wall of tired around 8 p.m. They tried to sleep on the train, but couldn't. They did snooze inside the darkness of "Great Moments with Lincoln" until a thunderous clap awakened them.
"After that nap, I feel better," Korina said. They walked out see the fireworks at 9:30.
After midnight, the women went through the Haunted Mansion, tried on mouse-ear hats at the Star Trader Shop and rode Star Tours. As the sun rose again, a bleary Korina became wide-eyed again when the Disney characters, just before 6 a.m. and near the exit, sang the Mouseketeers theme song, to end the day.
Korina smiled a big grin. She remembered a social club, the Main Street Elite, she's hoping to join. The first meeting is this weekend.
"So," she said, "on Sunday I'll be back here again."

Soul Searching is what this single is all about. The art of seeking for the right party igniters.
Name 001 is the unknown face of Miguel Parreira, Mr. F or, most commonly known as, SGMNT (Segment), his technoish side.
Name 001, brings his clustered waves into our dimension, filled with strange pads, sines and church textured stabs, he delivers us a ultra-twisted theme that shows how Progressive and Techno can be merged into one single composition, although there's always the constant presence of the Acid touch in it as well as the epic speech about science vs religion. Unavoidable!
Fragoso, label head manager and a regular on AU Records, brings his interpretation about how it should be the "Soul Searching" act. As usual, evolving, epic and very very subtle, Fragoso drives us through an authentic sonic epiphany. It's the subtleness taken to the last stage. A very very profound journey!
Missing this, is missing history
