Any preference for free email providers? Google? Yahoo? Hotmail? ?? ??
I'm thinking of dumping Cox internet because of the cost, but that means a new email address. So, I'm looking for something that isn't tied to my provider.
I have a hotmail address I use for signing up for crap, or posting on craigslist, that kind of thing. It seems kind of clumsy. Although the upgrade helped a little I suppose.
Any recommendations?

1. Opera Mail
It's clean, free, blessedly low-key with the adverts, etc., and very secure.

2. I have had five or six aol accounts---dating waaaaaay back to the stone age...LOL
Yes, they are still around-- Free and certainly as reliable as the others...
I'm no AOL fan, in general, but it has been reliable and you can have multiple accounts.

4. AOL has distinct weaknesses. Won't let you save thousands of emails.
Won't let you search emails for key words in the body of the email, (only by title).
AOL also serves up a heap load of spam NOT sorted into the spam folder, and also mistakenly puts some of your subscription mail into the spam folder, like notices from big banks, insurance companies, etc.
I dumped AOL 5 years ago and never looked back.
Gmail, is fast, efficient, enables you to keep tens of thousands of emails from years and years ago, and search for them when you need to. It enables sorts by topic, sorts by searches by ANY WORD IN the full email text, (for example, "2009 tax exempt" ) sorts by sender, as well as sorts by date. Allows one to label and color code mail from favorite people, etc, for easy retrieval.
One can block advertisements, and the massive data mining Gmail does is all done impersonally, by computer. Google doesn't really "know" you, they know your keywords, etc.
Gmail can link with a Google Plus account, (a sort of Facebook for Google people), Gmail will link you to your Youtube account if you want it to. Google will tell your mobile phone if you're near a bargain, or near your favorite types of restaurant, etc., if you want that feature.

7. Really? I have >12 year old emails
& several thousand "old" emails I've never bothered to clear out from an old account.
But, yes, their spam filter could be better. i import to Outlook and use my own filters so, that isn't too much an issue for me.
Gmail and Google are too much a security risk for me. AOL isn't perfect, but better by comparison. I value my privacy.

8. If you think AOL keeps your privacy, think again
They send you travel info if you mention Italy or Spain or California in your email to someone. They do what Google does.
I really doubt AOL allows you 10 GB of storage of pictures and videos and 50 page reports. I used to try to find pictures someone sent me 4 years earlier on AOL, and AOL said "no longer available"...

10. So you know bettter than I--the person who has had an account for 20 years?
I am not a big AOL fan and I already pointed out that it, as all providers have issues, but you have NO right to suggest that I am lying as you clearly have. Enjoy a very very short stay at DU if you are going to behave in that manner.

9. Yes, gmail is the best one I've had so far.
It also integrates with Outlook.
Also, if you have an android phone, everything is linked via Google and backed up automatically to the cloud.

They sell your information. This bothers me. They are becoming famous for digging through your emails for keywords to bombard you with advertising, etc, or flat out selling your info to companies. Google is becoming very greedy the bigger they get.

5. I use gmail for online actvities,stuff I don't mind anyone seeing
like Google alerts deliveries, online activities I do not need much security for.
I also use opera mail for when I order somethings, I have that set to dump directly into my home email.
Hotmail is getting a lot of complaints, I dumped it several years ago.
Yahoo went into a new beta and locked me out of my address there.
Overall I recommend myopera.com

6. i have one of each of the above..
..but i'll start with my suggestion, since what follows would just confuse the issue.
you want free, secure and non-commercial?
try hushmail.com .. the free webmail of choice for paranoid geeks and other security conscious dorks. comes with built in encryption just in case you wanna send secret messages to your friends. one of a kind service.. been around for *ages*. clean and simple, no frills free webmail that bites back.
as for the rest of my more than a dozen email addresses?
my hotmail account pre-dates hotmail.. it's one of the first round of '@msn.com' accounts. had it for more than a decade, tho now it's being forwarded to my gmail account along with my '@yahoo.com' and my '@mail.com' (aol) ..
these three free but not commercial-free emails are my 'spam magnets' in increasing levels of fluffery.. strictly for online accounts (like for facebook, yelp, etc.)
i use @gmail.com to centralize my online free emails for one reason: it's faster and basically ad-free. plus i have an android phone and it syncs seamlessly with other google services i use (like google voice, talk, and drive).
then there's my dedicated email addresses hosted on my server, for work, family and friends only. these never ever ever get entered into any online forms. when you own your own url(s) (.. like mywebsite.com) and server space ($4-10/mo) you get unlimited email addresses for '@mywebsite.com'. great for personalizing your email address and making it extra memorable.
long story short? there's a plethora of options. if you're picking *only one* freemail address, i'd pick @gmail.com, hands down, no question.. but keep in mind the googlebots will read every single one of your emails.
if you can only pick *two* then pick gmail.com and hushmail.com and use gmail for spammy stuff and hushmail for more sensitive missives.
three? i'd pick hotmail.. yahoo and mail.com (aol) are slower than either gmail or hotmail.
and then there's mozilla thunderbird.. if you're not using it, then.. um.. you must not have tried it yet.

NEW YORK (Jul. 22)
A Manhattan hospital, which had refused the Orthodox father of a new-born son his request for a ritual circumcision by a mohel in the hospital, permitted the rite to be performed in response to a court mandate described as the first time a court has ever ordered any American hospital to permit that rite.
The problem for the Orthodox father developed when his wife gave birth to the boy by Caesarean section on July 3 in Lenox Hill Hospital. Because of complications following the delivery, the couple was told that the mother would be required to remain in the hospital beyond the eighth day of the infant's life when, according to Jewish Law, the rite must be performed.
The problem became religiously critical for the Brooklyn parents when hospital officials, citing a hospital rule banning performance of medical procedures by anyone other than a staff doctor or one affiliated with the hospital, said a ritual circumciser (mohel) could not perform the rite in the hospital. The infant could not be taken out of the hospital for the rite because a state law forbids the return of an infant to a hospital nursery once the infant is removed from the hospital.
The father, who requested anonymity, is an attorney who is a member of the National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs (COLPA). When it became apparent, from the hospital's negative reaction, that court action might be needed, the father met with Dennis Rapps, COLPA executive director, and State Assemblyman Sheldon Silver (D.Manhattan), who is also a COLPA member, Rapps told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
The father called Silver and Rapps Tuesday evening, July 8, reporting he expected to have by 11 a.m. the next day — the seventh day of his son's life — a definitive statement from hospital officials as required by the legal proceedings. When the father informed the two COLPA members at noon Wednesday that the hospital of officials remained adamantly opposed, the COLPA attorneys immediately began preparation of an order to the hospital to show cause why it should not permit a mohel to perform the rite in the hospital, plus a supporting petition.
Rapps explained that the papers had to be filed to require hospital officials to appear in court to justify their refusal. Because of the time factor, Rapps said, he knew that he and Silver would have to submit their legal documents promptly to Special Term Part 11 of the State Supreme Court in Manhattan, the customary court for initiating such actions.
Seeking the name of the justice who would be presiding in Special Term Part 11 on Thursday–the eighth day–they learned it would be Acting State Supreme Court Justice Herman Cahn. They also learned Cahn had been assigned to sit in small claims court that Wednesday evening.
The COLPA attorneys met with Cahn that evening and described their problem. Cahn directed that the Lenox Hill Hospital be notified immediately that he would hear the father's petition the next morning. He also ordered Silver and Rapps to appear in the clerk's office of the court on the next day–Thursday–at 9:30 a. m. to file their papers, which was done.
An hour later, Silver and Rapps and the attorneys for the hospital presented their positions to Cahn. He ruled that the hospital must admit the mohel, basing that ruling on a provision of the New York State Public Health Law which requires protection of both the civil and religious rights of patients Rapps noted that only four New York City hospitals have such bans on ritual circumcisers. For the other hospitals, a list is maintained of ritual circumcisers who are medically qualified.
Cahn issued his order at 2:30 p.m. the same day. The hospital attorneys immediately sought a stay of Cahn's order, which would have made the issue academic, or, in legal language, moot, since a stay would have meant that the ritual circumcision could not have been performed in the hospital that day–the eighth.
The appeals court, after hearing arguments from 5 p.m. to 6:15 p.m., denied a stay. The hospital attorneys then called the hospital to inform hospital officials that the operation by a mohel would have to be permitted under court order. The rite was performed at 7 p.m. that evening of the eighth day by a mohel with whom the father had made prior arrangements.
Rapps, asked what would have happened if the hospital request for a stay had been granted, said that arrangements had been made for the father to take the child out of the hospital to have the rite performed at a nearby synagogue, those arrangements also having been made in advance.

I think so anyway. Has anyone ever heard of this? If not and you like it be free to advertise it. A gift box cake with the removable lid. When you take off the lid there is a cube cut out and lined with fondant holding an engagement ring. What do you think. How do you market to men???
AI've made a cake similar to that, it looked like a ring box.
I'm not sure how you'd market it though...unless you could sell them to a nice restaraunt, where someone might propose. I think you need a special cert or something to sell to restaraunts.
I used to waitress at a Garfield's, it's like a TGIFriday's except the kids can right on the table, not a place I would consider romantic but guys proposed there all the time. We were a part of the mall, so maybe it was the jewelry store.
I think this would be great around Vday and Christmas, I also worked for Sterling Jewlers (Kay's/Ostermans/Jarred's), those were our busiest times. That's probably obvious ;)
I would need another license type to sell to restaurants. Bu contacting jewelry stores is a great idea!!!
AI remember my health inspector mentioning something about seperate licensing, sadly my brain is somewhere else ;)
I love that you're always thinking of ways to expand, your going to be the next Martha Stewart-build your empire!
AOne more thing. You'd probably be better off approaching independently owned stores, rather then getting corporate approval (which I imagine would be difficult) to run some sort of cross promo.

Caffeine free shopping can help you in the long run
Wed, 01 May 2013 22:16:46 GMT —
Caffeine may seem like the perfect way to get a jump start on your day, but the negative side effects could outweigh the pros.
Food manufacturers are adding a boost of caffeine in snacks, such as a new Cracker Jack line called Cracker Jack'd.
High levels of caffeine can be found in your drinks, food, and even your chewing gum.
Many energy drinks have warning labels advising you not to give it to children due to the high levels of caffeine.
Anything with chocolate includes caffeine.
So what happens when children get their hands on a highly caffeinated drink or food item?
"When we consume caffeine, adults and children, we can have trouble sleeping, frequent urination, rapid heart beat or change in heart rhythm, nervousness, anxiety, all things that a child maybe wouldn't know is happening to them or just in small doses could affect a child greatly," Dietician Ashlyn Myers said.
Myers said it's important to monitor your caffeine intake no matter your age.
She said it is something your body can live entirely without.

Beautiful place in a beautiful location. We had the most amazing time here, thank you Pia!
Wow! What an amazingly peaceful retreat away from busy city life :)
The cabin was so cozy and wonderful, it was hard to leave at the end of my stay!
Pia is a great host and the cabin was in great condition for my stay. Everything was clean, neat and tidy.
I very much look forward to staying in this lovely spot again :)
It was only a quick 30 minute drive to the city and there was lots to see and do close by, and it was definitely inspiring to see Pia's artwork on display.
Thanks so much Pia!
I have been Pía'a guest several times and it has never been a letdown. The closeness to the lake is great. One can go horseriding at a farm close by. If I don't want to go to the water I can walk in the opposite direction up the mountain. I also had space there to work on my pictures. There are plenty of locations there to explore.
Me and my girlfriend was so pleased with our stay in this charming summerhouse.
With such beautiful surroundings how can you not get inspired to do something creative.
We highly recommend it.
Thanks Pia !
Dear Pia
We have had the most wonderful holyday in fabulous weather exploring the region. It has always been a delight to return home each evening to your summerhouse, to eat dinner (often on your terrace)and enjoy the wiews and tranquinity. We will return with many happy memories and beautiful photographs
thank you John and Barbara
We are so happy, we decided to rent Pia's wonderful atelier-summerhouse. It was perfect for us to go on day-trips, for hiking, to sit at home and knit and play music and read and do origami. The view over the lake is awesome and ever-changing. We took tons of pictures! The kitchen is really well-equipped. Pia gave us useful tips.

When Abraham Lincoln was asked what he remembered of his life in Kentucky he answered with incidences that happened at Knob Creek.
Historic pictures of Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park and Abraham Lincoln Boyhood Home at Knob Creek.
Pictures of Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park. The Memorial was built to honor our sixteenth president.
On February 12, 1909, the centennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, President Theodore Roosevelt came to Hodgenville for the formal laying of the cornerstone for the Lincoln Memorial Hall. He was accompanied at the event by family members and members of the Lincoln Farm Association.
On November 9, 1911, President William H. Taft came to Hodgenville to dedicate the Lincoln Memorial Hall.
On November 8, 1911, President William H. Taft came to the state capitol building in Frankfort, Kentucky for the dedication of the Adolph A. Weinman statue of Abraham Lincoln in the capital building rotunda.
On May 31, 1909, Robert Todd Lincoln, the only surviving son of Abraham Lincoln, came to Hodgenville for the unveiling of Adolph A. Weinman's Abraham Lincoln statue.
The Lincoln Farm Association represented a diverse group of intellectuals, politicians, public servants, artists, and business and religious interests. It was "organized and incorporated to develop the Lincoln Birthplace Farm into a National Park." It was through their efforts that the site of the birth of Abraham Lincoln became a national park in 1916.
In July 1916, the Abraham Lincoln National Park was established by Congress. The care of the park was assigned to the War Department of the United States government. It remained under the care of the War Department until it was turned over to the National Park Service in 1933.
Sculptor and artist Adolph A. Weinman was selected to produce a statue of Abraham Lincoln for the town of Hodgenville in celebration of the centennial of Lincoln's birth.

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/041,349, filed Apr. 1, 2008, and to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/162,704, filed Mar. 24, 2009, the contents of each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates generally to electromagnetic tag technology and, more specifically, to the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to ensure and track proper drug regimen compliance and oral medication.
[0003] In conventional hospital and long-term care settings, caregivers must manually supervise patients who are known to avoid ingesting pills, i.e. medicaments and drugs. Even under careful supervision, a patient can deceive a caretaker and avoid taking necessary, often life-preserving, drugs.
[0004] Pub. No. US 2006/0289640 A1 to Mercure, et al., the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference, describes a conventional system in which an RFID electromagnetic tag is positioned in a capsule designed to disperse in the gastrointestinal system. Mercure, et al. relies on a breakdown of the pill in the gastrointestinal system to signal ingestion of the pill. However, the system of Mercure, et al. fails to overcome a significant shortcoming of RFID technology, particularly when a passive RFID chip is used. That is, the high fluid composition of the gastrointestinal system will adversely attenuate the RFID signal, creating a failure to detect ingestion and possibly resulting in undesirable overmedication. There are three possibilities for design of the wireless link. Radiation at high frequencies (UHF) is used for long-range communications in open air, but as the radiation is significantly attenuated by the body, it prohibits this type of wireless link. Inductive coupling at HF (1 MHz-30 MHz), used for power coupling of implantable devices, works only for very short distances, up to 10 cm, depending on the size of the coils and their orientation. Near-field UHF provides inherently stronger inductive coupling, and although the attenuation by the body at this frequency range is higher, it provides longer range of detection, up to 1 meter, which is almost on the order of the required distance.
[0005] A challenge of the design of such a wireless link is the extension of distance that can be achieved through near-field UHF, since due to weak coupling between antennas only a small part of emitted power by an external transmitter antenna reaches the RFID tag antenna. The present invention provides a modified design of an external reader to provide an elongated read range, via a spatially selective external reader, adopting beamforming concepts of antenna design, based on a gradient flow method, such those as described by M. Stanacevic and G. Cauwenberghs, "Micropower Gradient Flow VLSI Acoustic Localizer," IEEE Trans. on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers, vol. 52(10), pp. 2148-2157, 2005; and by T. Nara.
[0006] The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of conventional systems by providing a focused ingestion monitoring device by use of electromagnetic tag technology RFID tags to ensure and track proper ingestion of oral medication, which is particularly relevant in hospital and long term care environments. The present invention provides a wireless system for monitoring ingestion of medicine and absorption into the body to insure proper dosage control and usage. To enable pill monitoring, an RFID tag is inserted in or affixed to the pill, and a wireless link between the RFID tag and an external reader is provided that will function when the pill is inside the body.
[0007] Preferred embodiments of the present invention overcome the above shortcomings of conventional systems and methods by providing an apparatus for monitoring drug regimen compliance that includes a wearable RFID reader for detecting a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag affixed to an pharmaceutical agent, and for wirelessly communicating with a central monitoring system upon detection of ingestion. The communication includes an identification of the ingested pharmaceutical agent. A database is updated to confirm drug regimen compliance by one or a plurality of patients, in an Internet based tracking system.
[0008] The above and other objects, features and advantages of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wearable RFID reader worn around the neck of a patient in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0010] The following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention will be made in reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the invention, explanation about related functions or constructions known in the art are omitted for the sake of clearness in understanding the concept of the invention, to avoid obscuring the invention with unnecessary detail.
[0011] In the present invention, an electromagnetic RFID tag is provided on a pill, with the RFID tag providing information about the medicament when polled by the RFID reader. Antennas in the RFID tag and reader could be in different sizes and shapes, with the size of the tag antenna corresponding to the size of the pill, and the external reader fashioned in a manner to accommodate wearing by the patient on his or her body.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a necklace/pendant is provided for the reader, as shown in FIG. 1. In alternative embodiments, the reader is clipped to the belt or a waistband. With such configuration a maximum achievable distance at which the reader can detect the presence of the RFID tag extends beyond the distance between the RFID tag inside the body and the external reader.
[0013] In the present invention, spatial selectivity is possible as the region of the possible location of RFID tag is known, such as in regard to RFID tag localization, where measurements of the first-order spatial gradients of the magnetic field have been demonstrated. See, T. Nara and S. Ando, "Localization of RFID Tags from Measurement of Complex Gradients of Electromagnetic Fields", International Workshop on Networked Sensing Systems (INSS 2004), pp. 63-66, 2004. The differential signal was produced by oppositely wound coils. Standard beamforming phased arrays techniques are not suitable for use in the external reader. The reason is that the performance of beamforming algorithms directly depends on the aperture of the array, and with the decreasing distance between array elements performance degrades, leading to the requirement of a large form factor of the external reader for extended range. A gradient flow method originates from localization of traveling waves. Location of the source can be obtained as an estimation of the source direction through computation of the spatial gradients for the arrays with dimensions smaller than but comparable to the wavelength. In spatial gradient representation, time delays are converted into relative amplitudes of the time-differentiated source signals, if the dimensions of the array are within certain bounds. By computing the spatial gradients, the problem of estimating unknown time delays becomes a computationally less expensive problem of estimation of amplitude modulation, solved in standard least-square fashion. Instead of localization, the gradient flow technique in the proposed spatially selective external reader is used to direct the magnetic energy into certain regions by generating spatial gradients using closely spaced antennas.
[0014] The present invention monitors drug regimen compliance by tracking an RFID tag (120) affixed to a pill (110), i.e. ingestible pharmaceutical agent, via a wearable RFID reader (200), preferably configured as a harness (260) worn by a patient (305), as shown in FIG. 1. The RFID tag (120) includes information identifying the pharmaceutical agent (110) and such information is wirelessly transmitted to reader (200), which in turn provides the information, along with an identification of the patient wearing the reader (200), to an Internet based central monitoring system (400), preferably immediately upon ingestion of the pharmaceutical agent (110).
[0015] The central monitoring system (400) will, upon communication and confirmation of the ingestion, compare the received information to information stored in a database (410) to determine whether the patient is sufficiently compliant with a prescribed drug regimen. Preferably, the database (410) will identify each of a plurality of harnesses respectively worn by a plurality of patients. Moreover, if a patient ingests an RFID labeled pill that is not prescribed for that patient, or if the patient ingests an excessive number of RFID labeled pills, the central monitoring system (400) will provide an overdose alarm to a caregiver.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, an alarm is provided to a caregiver when the database is not updated at a predetermined interval, and the alarm will identify each particular patient who is not in compliance with that patient's prescribed drug regimen. The caretaker will also have access to a report generated at regular intervals showing times that ingestion is detected for each patient among the plurality of patients.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of antenna layers is provided on the RFID tag (120), with the layers separated by a plurality of coatings that sequentially dissolve during digestion. Preferably the RFID reader (200) detects whether a first layer of the RFID tag (120) has dissolved, which typically occurs upon exposure to liquid when placed in the patient's mouth. For purposes of fraud detection and to confirm proper ingestion, an alert is preferably provided if the first layer is detected as not being dissolved at the time of detection by the RFID reader (200), via an auxiliary antenna having a denser coating that dissolves further along the gastrointestinal tract.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the harness (260) positions the RFID reader (200) adjacent to the patient's throat (310), and the RFID reader (200) is fixably secured to the harness (260). Further, it is preferred that the harness (260) wirelessly communicates an alarm when unfastened from the neck of the patient (305).
[0019] As an alternative to fixable securing harness (260), a second RFID tag can be incorporated into the wrist bracket that most hospitals provide upon admission, with the second RFID tag identifying the patient. Such wrist brackets are unique and can not be effectively removed without destroying the bracelet. Reader (200) would also poll the second RFID tag, and communicate the wrist mounted second RFID along with the identification of the ingested pill.
[0020] The RFID reader is preferably uni-directional, directed toward the patient's throat, to avoid a "false positive" that can arise if the patient dips the pill in water and then waives the pill near the reader, without ingesting, i.e. swallowing, the pill.
[0021] While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.

Five Things To Know Before Coming To Sundance
PARK CITY, Jan 17 Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden's feature HALF NELSON was screened at the Sundance Film Festival. Picked up by Think Films, HALF NELSON has proved to be a critical break though in 2006. In addition to being nominated by for a number of awards, the film won the Best film, and Ryan Fleck was present the "Breakthrough Director Award," at this year's Gotham Awards [www.ifp.org]. Ryan and Anna offer their remembrances, and suggestions, for attending Sundance.
1. Bring Postcards. If you have a film at the fest bring postcards advertising your film with screening times, dates, and locations. Our first time at Sundance was with a short film (STRUGGLE, 2003). We noticed all these filmmakers handing out postcards for their films, but we didn't have any. So we spent our first night in the hotel room scribbling our screening times on the back of our free Vistaprint business cards. It wasn't fun, and we were mocked on several occasions. Get postcards made before you get there. They are cheap and easy to get through online printing shops like 4over4.com [www.4over4.com].
2. Bring friends. Despite all the people and parties, Sundance can be a very lonely place if you don't know anybody. Get your cast, crew, and friends together and throw your own party in the street if necessary.
3. Make friends. If you can't bring them, make them. There are filmmakers, actors, producers, agents, journalists, and film lovers everywhere in Park City. Just get on the shuttle and say hello to somebody. This is a good way to find DPs and composers. If you aren't a "go up to a stranger on the bus" type (we're not either, actually) and you have a film in the festival, a good place to make friends is at the filmmaker cocktails and brunches. (Don't miss the director's brunch that Redford hosts.) These events are great places to meet other shy, awkward people in a low-stress environment.
4. See movies. Yes, it's hard to get into screenings, but the waitlist usually works, especially for late shows and short film programs, which are rarely full. If you have a film there, the festival gives you 10 tickets to other people's films. Use them. And go see films made by your new friends (see #3) – it will mean a lot to them.
5. Stay away from Tao (formerly Harry O's). It's a ridiculous scene with overly protective bouncers and endless door lists that won't have your name on them. A surefire way to ruin your night. Unless of course one of your favorite bands (like Broken Social Scene, for instance) happens to be playing there. Then you can make an exception.

Wow, these are some great suggestions!
I share the concern that June is very short compared to the older siblings.
I've gotten stuck on Magnolia & Georgia recently also. I don't know that I have the nerve though.. we live in the northeast US. Is it weird to use a name with such obviously southern charm? Of course, I already used Charlotte - but I wasn't really thinking of South Carolina when we chose it.

NFL Network coming to Bright House
The NFL and Time Warner, which handles negotiations for Bright House, reached a deal Friday after what was, essentially, a nine-year standoff since the network first launched in 2003.
The network will appear on digital channel 183 and in HD on 1145 and there will be no extra charge to Bright House subscribers, according to Bright House spokesman Joe Durkin.
The NFL Network is a 24-hour station run by the NFL and dedicated to the NFL. While it shows replays of games, as well as highlight, analysis and pre- and post-game shows, the biggest thing fans care about are games.
The network is carrying an expanded set of games this season, 13 primetime regular-season games on Thursday nights. Arena games, college bowl games and the NFL Combine also are televised by the NFL Network.
All Bright House subscribers should have the NFL Network in time for next live game — Thursday's broadcast between the Ravens and Browns. …Full Story

TPWD Print-Friendly Page: http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/print.phtml?req=20090326fMedia Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 [AR]
TPWD Website: http://tpwd.texas.gov
TPWD News Release — March 26, 2009
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Parks and Wildlife Commissioners today approved a reduction in the recreational and commercial bag limits for southern flounder and set a reduced bag limit for the month of November with take that month limited to hook and line.
The commission also approved several changes related to federal consistency issues for sharks and other species and a paddle craft licensing and training program. Scoping and public comment on these issues has been ongoing since the fall of 2008, with more than 10,000 comments received by the department.
Flounder — The new regulations adopted by the TPW commission today are an attempt to reverse a long-term downward trend in the abundance of southern flounder. TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division data shows that the relative abundance of flounder has fallen by about 50 percent since the early 1980s. The new regulation reduces the recreational bag limit from 10 to 5 fish, and the commercial bag limit from 60 to 30 fish. Hook and line anglers will be permitted a 2 flounder daily bag limit during the month of November, with take by all other gear prohibited.
Modeling suggests that the new regulations will result in an increase of spawning stock biomass of slightly more than 80 percent over six years, with the majority of that recovery taking place in the first several years.
Public comments on the flounder regulations ran about 95 percent in favor of bag reductions and 90 percent against a November closure. TPWD Coastal Fisheries Division Science and Policy Director Robin Riechers noted that many persons opposing the November closure said they wanted a longer closure that applied only to the gig fishery including the months of October through December.
Anglers all along the Texas Gulf coast reported a rebound in flounder numbers in 2007 and 2008, also reflected in TPWD sampling, but even that short-term increase in relative abundance places numbers near the bottom of the long-term trend.
"We'll look at our data every year and come back to you either to talk about the success we've had or further actions we need to take," Riechers told commissioners.
Previous actions specifically impacting the flounder fishery have included establishing a 60 fish bag limit for the commercial fishery, a 10 fish bag limit and 20 fish possession limit and the establishment of the 14" minimum size limit in 1996. In 1999 the Texas Legislature established a limited entry program for finfish licenses which includes license holders who predominantly fish for either flounder or black drum. In 2006 the Commission approved a change in the regulations that made the possession limit equal to the bag limit of 10 for recreational anglers .
Federal Consistency - The TPW Commission approved changes to regulations for several species managed jointly with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council to become more consistent in terms of bag and size limits.
Sharks — Specifically, this item changes the minimum length limit for those species allowed from 24 inches total length (TL) to 64 inches TL, except for Atlantic sharpnose, blacktip, and bonnethead sharks which will retain the current 24 inch TL minimum length limit. For the allowable shark species the bag limit will remain one fish per person per day and a two fish possession limit. In addition a prohibited list (zero bag limit) will be established for the following shark species:
Other Species — The regulation changes include species that have been found to be in an overfished condition or undergoing overfishing. The changes include: increasing the minimum size limit for greater amberjack from 32 inches to 34 inches TL, and establishing minimum size limits of 16 inches total length for gray triggerfish and 22 inches total length for gag. The bag limit for gray triggerfish would be 20 per person and for gag grouper it would be set at 2 per person with the possession limits being twice the daily bag limit.
Paddle Craft Licensing — TPW Commissioners approved a change that would allow paddle craft operators to receive a saltwater guide license by demonstrating certification or proof of completion of a TPWD boater safety course and CPR/First Aid training, and completion of the American Canoe Association (ACA) Coastal Kayak Day Trip Leading Assessment or British Canoe Union (BCU) Four Star Leader Sea Kayak Certification.

Jenson Button: Lewis Hamilton won't give up on F1 title
Jenson Button believes McLaren team-mate
Lewis Hamilton's desire to regain the Formula One world title will ensure he bounces back in the wake of his recent double disaster.
It was a despondent Hamilton who departed Singapore on Sunday following a second successive accident. After running into Felipe Massa 's Ferrari in Italy a fortnight ago, this time Hamilton came off worse in a collision with Mark Webber .
'You have to feel for him because that was a tough way to end a grand prix,' said Button, who is also in title contention. 'But he's a pretty determined guy, a former world champion who is determined to win back the world championship. But when the championship is so tense and there are five fighting for it, then this sort of thing is going to happen, and it will not be the last time it's going to happen either.'
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh added: 'Lewis was disappointed because he is a passionate individual. I told him people will take cheap shots, but that he had to look at the facts – he didn't take a risky overtaking move, he didn't make a mistake, he was unlucky and that he now has to focus on the races ahead. After two races like he's had, it is a bit bruising, but he is a tough competitor who will bounce back and be strong at Suzuka.'

An Empirical Assessment of Agricultural Trade Policies in the Mediterranean Basin - Regional Effects on the EU Member States
The objective of this paper is to provide deeper insights on the impacts of agricultural policy reforms in the Mediterranean basin focusing on regional effects in the EU. The empirical analysis has been undertaken using the partial equilibrium multi commodity, multi region world trade model AGRISIM. The simulation results indicated that the CAP Reform for the Mediterranean commodities seems to affect only the EU Mediterranean Member states and the enlargement with Bulgaria and Romania only this two countries. Moreover the impacts on the markets of typical Mediterranean commodities included in the modelling exercise are limited. The supply in the EU changes mainly for those commodities that are of high protection as beef, whereas the demand increases being highest for beef. The prices adjust to the world market prices resulting thus to negative changes for the producer's surplus, but to positive for the consumer's surplus. The effects for the EU budget are also positive and overall welfare gains are to be expected.

Completely Overwhelmed
Our son, Henry, turns three in December.
We've noticed a lot of quirks with Henry over the past few years, and this summer, we started putting together some pieces. Henry marches to the beat of his own drum. He's a picky eater, he's terribly OCD in a lot of ways, and he doesn't talk as much as other kids his age. We kind of chalked it up to kids developing differently, and weren't all that concerned because he's so strong in other areas. He loves numbers, creates number patters, shapes patterns, counts forwards and backwards. He's also huge into words/letters. He spells at at least a Kindergarten / first grade level, and loves to read.
But on thing I noticed this summer that didn't quite seem normal was what I call 'side-eyeing.' Just viewing lots of things out of the corner of his eye. Liking walking back and forth up the wall, looking at it out of the corner of his eye. He'll also sit on the ground, with, say, a belt or something, and just run it back and forth in front of his face and look at it out of the corner of his eye. He'll also walk around and around the pool and do this.
I called our pediatrician, and she said that we could certainly bring him in, but that without seeing him, she recognizes that the 'side eye' thing isn't quite normal. She recommended that we call the Early Start program where we live (DC), which is funded by the city. They do evaluations, and can set up services.
The whole thing has been a nightmare. Henry had several evals... behavioral, cognitive, others, etc, and then we worked with them to set up an IFSP, which is like an IEP, but for younger kids. Further, they referred us to an actual developmental pediatrician for MORE evaluations to see if there is any sort of diagnosis.
Couple that with the fact that in less than a month, he turns three years old. When he turns three, Early Start can't work with him any more, and all this gets transferred to DCPS. So now we have DCPS on our backs, because they need to complete THEIR evaluations for Henry so we can get services in place for him. We're only just getting services in place for Henry at this point with Early Start.
I've missed a ton of work trying to get Henry to these evals (although one has been done at home), and the thought of going through these evals again is just overwhelming. We're also not finished the evals for the developmental pediatrician, and another round of evals for DCPS? I'm totally overwhelmed.
My question -
How do you keep all this organized? And I mean that literally? I can't keep track of who is calling and emailing me from day to day.
I'm so overwhelmed.
i have a calander that i carry with me and i have to write eveything down or i for get , good luck
U can make one from any notebook and add some folders too for the papers that you will be getting.
Or u can also clear a drawer or box just for that stuff.
Quoting beachbabies6:
i have a calander that i carry with me and i have to write eveything down or i for get , good luck
Get a notebook and write it down when anyone calls. Write down name of who is calling, the name of the company they are calling for, and what the call was about.
It will get easier once you get all of that done.Once you have a program set up for him it will get a little less crazy. Just a little less. Good luck with all of this.
EDITED TO ADD THIS: Don't forget to mark down the date that they called and the time that you spoke to them. That way when something comes up... Like you remember something that was said but not all of the details you will be able to remind them of when it was said. Might jog their memory a bit.
This also helps for bill collectors as well. Or any business type thing that you have to deal with . . . like bills. If you can tell them who called you or who you spoke to and the day and time that you spoke, it will help you. example: You called in about a problem with the bill, and so and so said that they would take care of it, but when you get your next bill you notice that so and so didn't take care of it. So you call back. You can then say so and so and I talked about this on blah date at blah blah time and so and so said that so and so would take care of it. I want it taken care of. < It will get so and so written up for not doing their job and should get blah blah taken care of immiediately. If not speak to a supervisor, then it will be taken care of.
Thanks. I'm already so disorganized to begin with.
I'm also so frustrated that we're JUST getting his services set up, and since he's turning three in a month, we have to do ALL this over again.
I have 2 binders that I put everything in. I have one just for ABA and the other for doctor notes and early intervention stuff.
My son did the side eye thing too. We called it doing "perspective". At the time we lived in Southern Maryland. We went through Kennedy Krieger. (Baltimore, Johns Hopkins) The wait took a bit to get in but then it moved quickly. We saw Jessica Ditto and were very happy with her. We also went once to Children's Hospital but learned after the appointment through my mother that the receptionists were making fun of the kids who had appointments so we didn't go back.
i have 3 words for you... DRY ERASE BOARD! ours has saved my sanity several times. i know it is extremely overwhelming, but just try to keep in mind why you are doing it all. for your son. he needs you, he can't do these things for himself. and in the end, you will be so glad you stuck it out. i hope things work out for you and your son. good luck!! ((hugs))
just a quick question... has anybody gotten an actual diagnosis for the side-looking? my son does this alot, he has an appt with a pedi opthomologist at the end of the month, but any info would be appreciated!!
Wow you used the words that we always use for my son - he marches to his own drum = thought it was an english thing. Never had a problem with the eyes except he needed glasses as he is long sighted. I have always made lists and kept a diary on laptop for his appointments, helps a lot. But can I just add one thing Honey that I think we all should remember - we should give ourselves a break if we miss something now and then. We cannot do it all, even if we feel we should. I know I beat myself up over stuff but really my son is doing well and is happy so I give myself a pat on the back sometimes.
Have your child see a psychologist either private or through your school district. Some schools need you to go through their psychologist to receive school services. Once child is diagnosed he can receive services his whole life. I have never trusted Early Start services since services are such a short time.
To be organized I always have a calander and notepad at hand. Write names of people, their phone #, and who they are (why are you and they are calling).

At quarterback Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars will start Blaine Gabbert, a rookie appearing in his second NFL game in that all-important role. Surely that fact alone is enough to have New Orleans Saints defenders salivating.
Not a chance, to hear the careful talk coming from players and coaches this week.
"I would not say, 'licking our chops,' " defensive end Turk McBride politely corrected a questioner. "No one here is looking at it that way."
Instead, the Saints are quick to note that Gabbert would not have been a first-round draft pick if professional scouts didn't believe he had the right stuff, and noting that one game in a torrential rain at Carolina is not a fair gauge of a quarterback.
The one thing a rookie -- any rookie -- might provide is a window of opportunity, according to New Orleans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. He said Friday the Saints approach this game like any other in the NFL, one in which they will face a talented group of professionals with a good idea of what is needed to win, and that New Orleans will throw its entire complicated playbook at Gabbert and seek a chink in his limited knowledge.
"When you do as many things as we do, everything kind of looks different to those guys," Williams said of green signal callers in general. "The older you are, from a quarterback standpoint -- it's pretty hard for us even in practice, occasionally we can, you know, 'Can we fool Drew?' That's pretty hard. He takes a look at everybody's stance, nuances, alignments, number of players here vs. number of players over there -- there's a lot of things that a young guy when he comes into the league has to get acclimated to."
What's more, the Jaguars coaching staff is talented enough to figure out what might be coming, Williams surmised, and Gabbert's time at Missouri wasn't wasted.
"They'll be very well-prepared," he said. "And college quarterbacks nowadays, they're throwing the ball more and they are coming into the league better prepared in my opinion because they are in spread offenses. They're seeing lots of different defenses at the college level now. So, no, we don't change anything we're going to do."
On the other hand, the Saints are hoping some things Gabbert does as a result of his inexperience work to their advantage. With the Saints defense finally turning in some big plays -- a forced fumble against Chicago and an interception against Houston in the past two weeks essentially sealed those victories -- the unit is hoping a similar turn of events will occur in Jacksonville.
"The only thing that really changes when you go against players who might have less experience is there might be more opportunities for you to take advantage of," cornerback Jabari Greer said. "You go against some of the top-tier quarterbacks in this league, and you may only have one or two opportunities to make plays, or to make game-changing plays. But, hopefully, you would hope going against younger guys, you would have more of those opportunities and you've got to capitalize on those you have."
To maximize the opportunities to capitalize, Greer said the Saints will throw the book at Gabbert.
"Any time that you go into a game taking some tools out of your toolbox, that way of thinking is kind of detrimental because you're kind of handicapping yourself," Greer said. "You have to understand that in this game no matter rookie or not, they have what it takes to be on the same field as you, to be here in this moment."
That moment will be a physical one, Williams predicted. Although Jacksonville's highly ranked defense would seem like its best chance of keeping the Jaguars in the game, Saints defenders believe keeping Jacksonville's offense off the field will make the difference. In other words, Jacksonville's defense aside, the Saints are going to score no matter whom they play, and thus the Jaguars desperately hope to keep Drew Brees on the sideline.
"When you have an explosive offense like we do here, they would love for this game to stay close," Williams predicted. "If this game stays close it's going to be a slugfest, it's going to be toe to toe, a fistfight in a phone booth kind of a game, bam. If we can separate the score, then it becomes a more wide-open game. But we're prepared, we think we're prepared for that smash-mouth mentality. That's the way that team is built -- to hit you in the mouth. The team is built to win the line of scrimmage and to play those kind of games."
To do so, Williams said he wants Greer and his colleagues thinking about those windows perhaps only a rookie can open.
"Sometimes you get a chance of a hesitation because they're not as sure that this is where the ball is going to go, they're not as sure that this is where the pressure is coming from, so you get a chance when they're hesitant," Williams said.
Injury report: Coach Sean Payton issued the club's final injury report Friday for the Jacksonville game. Offensive tackle Zack Strief (knee), center Olin Kreutz (knee), linebacker Martez Wilson (neck and shoulder), linebacker Will Herring (hamstring) and tight end David Thomas (concussion) are out.
Two players are questionable: linebacker Jonathan Vilma (knee) and wide receiver Marques Colston (shoulder), although Payton made it clear he felt, based on their limited participation at practice, that both would be able to play.
Payton listed the following players as probable: linebacker Jonathan Casillas (foot and knee), cornerback Tracy Porter (calf), safety Roman Harper (neck and shoulder), defensive tackle Tom Johnson (calf), wide receiver Adrian Arrington (knee), safety Jonathan Amaya (shoulder) and defensive tackle Shaun Rogers (elbow).

One of the most frequently asked questions by VARs and MSPs is "How can I increase pricing without losing customers?" The answer is that VARs and MSPs must clearly communicate the value proposition of their services; otherwise they may never be able to justify the increase. This, however, is easier said than done, with many VARs and MSPs still competing on price, rather than value. So, how do you make more money?

Best Way To Sift Sugar 50Lbs At A Time?
Lounge By ConfectionsCC Updated 15 May 2011 , 6:54pm by sweetnessx3
My arms are KILLING ME. I am so sick of having to sift this sugar LOL! I buy my sugar by the 50lbs bag, and every time I get a new bag, I spend hours with a spaghetti strainer sifting the entire bag so its ready for BC later that week. SOME ONE PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS AN EASIER OR FASTER WAY! I just know there has to be! If not, I may be hiring someone just to come in a sift sugar for me....
You sift the whole bag at once? Wow! I just sift what I need for each batch of fondant/buttercream... I have a large drum sifter that I use, seems to go pretty quick, though I'm only doing maybe 10# at a time. The trick is not to fill it too full, it seems to take longer to go through that way.
LOL I don't mean I dump the entire bag at once, I meant I sit there and sift into a large container until its all sifted, then just measure out what I need when its time to make the bc
This may sound like a strange question, but have you tried making your BC without sifting it? Do the lumps stay in your BC? I never sift mine as, like you say, its such a pain, and the lumps work their way out during the mixing process. I only ever sift if for royal icing. I use Tate&Lyle icing sugar, its a British brand. Maybe the consistency of the lumps depends on the brand...
LOL I don't mean I dump the entire bag at once, I meant I sit there and sift into a large container until its all sifted, then just measure out what I need when its time to make the bc
Haha, yeah, but still just the thought of sifting an entire bag in one sitting makes my arms feel like jello! You must have arms of steel!
I also have made my bc without sifting on occasion (when i'm feeling lazy and its just for family) lol, and haven't had issues. I just like the extra security of sifting when it's a cake that has to be perfect.
The only time I sift is when im making fondant .and I even hate doing it then but its a must !

At Home with Present Music?
Caroline Shaw octet provided a break in the gloom
Entitled Home Place, the concert included four pieces, three of which used home as what seemed a half-baked theme. The seven-movement Shelter (2005) by David Lang, Julia Wolfe and Michael Gordon, with a libretto by Deborah Artman, lasted more than an hour and felt endless. Oppressively dreary, without any warmth that a theme of shelter might imply, the music was played with continuous, obtusely related, moody and deeply uninteresting video. The composers constantly dwell on a couple of repeated harmonies, with minor chords predominant, trading in ever-changing rhythmic mutations that on this scale just sounded pointless and more of the same. For voices and a large ensemble, the orchestration was so thick at times that many instruments played uselessly, seen but not heard.
It was much ado about not much. I heard many concert goers around me grumbling after it ended. Some left.
Bryce Dessner's Aheym (which means homeward in Yiddish) is traveling music, static harmony with a minor tone and driving, intricate rhythmic variation, played gamely by a string quartet. Am I the only one who is tired of this aesthetic? Couldn't someone at least obsess about a major chord for a change? A video of acid color animation accompanied what was some kind of journey, but it was all forgotten immediately.
Caroline Shaw's Passacaglia, for an octet of a cappella voices, was a much-needed break in the gloom. Wordless, the singers playfully sailed through vowel sounds, unconventional vocal effects and spoken word. Present Music Artistic Director Kevin Stalheim created a casual, inchoate mash-up called Home for the finale, with recorded sounds of the Milwaukee lakefront and other recordings mixed with aleatoric combinations of disparate music by singers and orchestra, ending with the audience singing "Home, Sweet Home." It was lightweight, whimsical, somewhat sentimental, but felt thrown together.

MP3: Illmaculate - "Go Study" Ft. Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko & OnlyOne
Courtesy Audible Treats.
Today, Illmaculate is excited to release his new album, Skrill Talk, which is now available for sale via Wapikiya Records. To celebrate the release, the Portland, Oregon, native is giving fans one of the most anticipated tracks from the project, "Go Study," which features Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, and OnlyOne.
For Illmaculate, the youngest rapper to ever win Scribble Jam and owner of back-to-back titles at the internationally recognized World Rap Championships, it's been a little too easy for doubters to put his skills in a box. "Go Study" is Illmaculate's rebuttal to those uncertain of his skills as a well rounded emcee. "For those people basically saying that I'm just a 'battle rapper,'" remarks Illmaculate, "you better go study. It goes a lot deeper than that." And he promptly proceeds to drive that point home on wax, with lines like, "They wanna listen closely, and shove me in their box/ And try to pigeonhole me into something that I'm not."Joining Illmaculate for the single are two of his personal favorite artists, Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko, along with Illmac's own Sandpeople crew member, OnlyOne. "The whole experience of creating something from the ground up with an artist I've looked up to since I was 15," describes Illmaculate, who remembers studying Tech N9ne's technique as a young, aspiring lyricist.
