Re: I made a song
For the record that was from the season 5 episode Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants. First aired November 7, 2001.
They made a joke out of what you'd typically hear for some kind of exotic, Middle Eastern establishing shot at the top of a scene. Such a small gag, but it's always made me laugh as well.
You read it! You can't unread it!

The Best Laptops to Use For Business – Graphic Design
If you are a graphic designer by trade or just in your free time, you need a laptop or notebook computer that will work with your art. You must choose a laptop that has the appropriate hardware to run industry software smoothly and quickly. Within the graphic design field, many people choose Dell and Apple laptops.
However, there are many attractive options out there for laptops that will perform well in the graphic design field. Here are some issues you may want to take into consideration when looking for a business laptop.
But without having to shock away the affray, here are some key components you might desire to take into concern when selecting the very best laptop for graphic design:
Screen Resolution of Laptop
The resolution of a laptop's screen has little to do with the size of the screen. However, since you're going to be working and looking at the screen frequently, you should aim to buy a laptop with a screen of at least 15.4 inches. Do a test to see what resolution you are comfortable working at. If it is too different from your normal screen resolution, a new computer may affect the outcome of your art. Open your image editing software and see how it works in the new computer.
If you cannot find a laptop with a screen you like, you can try buying a monitor and hooking the laptop up as a workaround to the problem. It's more expensive, but may save you a headache in the end.
System RAM
As a graphic designer, you need an ample amount of RAM to run Photoshop and other image editing software. You should always have at least 2 GB of RAM as a starting number. If you're a serious multitasker, you should increase the amount of RAM you're looking for. Four GB of RAM is an ample amount for everyone, and it is the biggest amount you can get with most laptops on the market today.
Laptop CPU – Processor
You need a powerful CPU processor when you work in graphic design. If you are doing vector design, the computer must handle many complex calculations very quickly. A strong and fast CPU is a must for this kind of work. Buy a laptop with multiple high-end processing cores, like an Intel Duo or Intel Duo 2.
Graphics Card
You graphics card needs to be very high-end. The graphics card that is installed in computers when you buy them will not suffice—you will need a graphics card installed on your new computer with 64-256 MB of memory and a dedicated video card so that you do not lose speed and efficiency on your new laptop. The best laptops you can buy for graphic design work are laptops with graphics cards that have their own separate memory.
Your Laptop and You
As a graphic designer, you must think of your laptop the same way an artist thinks of his or her materials. The laptop you use will seriously affect your art, so you must choose one that suits your personal needs. Consider each of these different aspects before you choose a laptop.

Mistakes made by both sides: Italian Deputy Foreign Minister
Italy also indicated it could have "perhaps" been falling into an agenda related to Kerala politics.
"...Instead of saying where they (India) made a mistake, (I would) rather say what we could have done better.
"We should have been able, at the beginning, to realise that Kerala judges were, in fact, as the Supreme Court has indicated, the wrong place to handle an extremely complicated case," Italian Deputy Foreign Minister Steffan de Mistura told Karan Thapar on CNN-IBN's Devil's Advocate programme.
He said the issue of jurisdiction with regard to Kerala court should have been settled much earlier.
"We would have been able to find some formula much earlier...There was a feeling that perhaps there was a strategy for prolonging this," he said.
Asked if he felt that Italy was being lured into a trap, he said "no. We could have been perhaps, falling into an agenda, of Kerala related political environment, which is human..."
He said Italy got emotional as it was waiting for eleven months for the judgement to come.
"We too have families. We too, like you, trust our military should be defended when they are on duty," he said.
Stressing that the suspension of the assurance given by its Ambassador to the Supreme court was "painful", Mistura said the breakthrough in the 11-day impasse came after assurance from India that death penalty "would not be applicable".
Defending Italy's initial decision not to send back their marines even at the cost of diplomatic breach of assurance, Mistura said death penalty was unacceptable and became an issue for the Italian government when the Supreme Court talked about setting up of a special court to try the soldiers. He stressed that the special court should be "fast, quick, expeditious".

Anyone try to install this and worked? I can't get it to work, it's under changes in cydia.
lol hello n00b. gotta love winterboard changing the slide to unlock words..etc
Did u get it to work, how?
i never knew how ppl did it to be honest but you can change that to anything you want the slide to unlock and the wifi name and the carrier name, everything. a quick google search will tell us though. ppl have been doing that since 1.1.4 firmware though

You know that moment of rage when the parking spot you dutifully have been waiting for gets swiped by someone else? Well, that's exactly what happened to the guy in the white car in this video. But instead of moving on and finding the next spot, he took matters into his own hands.
We're guessing the owner of the convertible will think twice the next time she considers stealing someone else's parking spot.

A new report from the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism shows News Corp tries to undermine the scientific consensus on climate change — new IA investigative reporter Emily Osmond reports.
It's hard to believe that just 1.2 per cent of Australians can be classified as disbelievers or strong sceptics of climate science. Not because the evidence for climate change seems ill-founded or fractional — but because of the overwhelming drone of opposition to the science, the policy and the figure-heads supporting it.
It is, therefore, surprising to discover that not only do most Australians believe the climate is changing but most Australians also believe that Australia should take action on climate change without waiting for global consensus.
Australian beliefs are in line with 97 per cent of the world's published climate scientists and the world's major scientific organisations. This includes the position taken by the world's leading scientific, policy-neutral, intergovernmental body for the assessment of climate change: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The IPCC reported most recently in 2007. It drew on more than 500 lead authors and 2,000 expert reviewers. It built on the work of a wide scientific community and was submitted to the scrutiny of delegates from more than one hundred participating nations. The IPCC Forth Assessment Report concluded that warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and that most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.
Australian opinion is also in line with the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005), which was written by more than 1300 natural and social scientists from 95 countries; the Stern Review (2006), the most comprehensive economic review ever carried out on climate change; and the Garnaut Climate Change Review (2008), an independent study of the impacts of climate change on the Australian economy. The three reports argue that immediate and significant action is required by governments to avoid irreversible and damaging impacts to the Earth's sustainability.
In fact, no scientific body of national or international prominence has maintained an opposing opinion.
Furthermore, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change states that where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing such measures — rather, parties should take precautionary measures to anticipate, prevent or minimize the causes of climate change and mitigate its adverse effects.
Yet, the scientifically rigorous international consensus on climate science and Australia's necessary response has been misrepresented, ignored or denigrated by some of our nation's leading newspapers.
A study of the coverage of the carbon policy across ten major Australian newspapers, released this month by the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism (ACIJ), found that that negative coverage by News Ltd's newspapers of the Gillard government's moves to price carbon outweighed the positive by 82 per cent to 18 per cent.
This is particularly inexplicable, considering the same study found that Fairfax demonstrated significantly more balance in its coverage of the policy, with positive articles outweighing negative ones by 57 per cent to 43.
These asymmetry in the coverage has not gone unnoticed.
Greens leader Bob Brown has publically argued that the coverage of carbon pricing policy by some Australian newspapers
"is commentary, is not balanced and is not news".
He also criticized The Australian newspaper for actively opposing action on climate and for failing to be responsible and constructive.
Commentary is designed to provide an opportunity for voices outside the paper, particularly those of specialists from within their fields. Why, then, did the ACIJ study find that journalists or regular columnists wrote 75 per cent of opinion pieces on the carbon policy across these ten newspapers in the first half of this year?
The number of sources drawn upon commonly correlates to the objectivity and diligence of an article. Yet the same study by the ACIJ found that, when discussing the carbon policy, just 11 per cent of news and feature articles quoted no source, 30 per cent quoted just one, and only 42 per cent included more than two sources.
You might think that a topic so robustly situated in the realms of science would require insight from many voices within that field. Yet – together with unions, NGOs, think tanks, activists, and members of the public – scientists and academics made up 17 per cent of all sources. And the Australian Greens were 5 per cent, despite their pivotal role in policy negotiations.
In contrast, climate science critics Andrew Bolt and Terry McCrann have published more opinion pieces on carbon pricing policy in Australia than any other commentators.
News Ltd claim Bolt is its best-read blogger. Bolt does not have a background or qualification in policy, economics or science, yet has been published across the vast stable of News Ltd newspapers – which dominate 70 per cent of Australia''s metropolitan newspaper market — saying that the Gillard government's carbon pricing policy is "a giant fraud that mere spin cannot hide" and that "the world isn't warming as she thought".
In its November submission to the Independent Inquiry into Media and Media Regulation this year, News Ltd stated that
"...the value of newspapers to readers is the professional assessments and judgments brought by the editorial team and imparted to the reader".
News Ltd also asserted that
"...a newspaper has the editorial discretion to assess the strength or credit of views and decide the weight to give some views and not others".
The weight given to largely unqualified and minority voices not only contradicts the Australian Journalists Association's code of ethics – to not suppress relevant available facts, or give distorting emphasis – but also News Ltd's own Editorial Code of Conduct – to try always to tell all sides of the story in any kind of dispute – while at the same time diminishing the cumulative domestic and international consensus on climate science. That is not providing value for readers.
The media's portrayal of issues can radically affect public opinion. In fact, during a sitting of the independent media inquiry, outgoing News Ltd boss John Hartigan acknowledged News Ltd has the ability to
"...mobilise pressure on government on behalf of [its] audience".
With News Ltd's publications reaching 61 per cent of all Australians aged over 14 years, its opinion-heavy, anti-carbon tax, stance must resound with some effect in, at least, pockets of the Australian community.
The recent CSIRO study, Australia's views on climate change, found that the percentage of Australians who believe climate change is happening and that it is caused by human activity has declined over the past three years.
Similarly, the Lowy Institute's annual survey of 1,002 Australians found that support for the most aggressive form of action to address global warming had slipped five points from last year.
News Ltd has proposed in its submission to the independent media inquiry that Australia's cross‐media regulations should be abolished and that additional regulation of ownership limits to the already "over‐regulating" Broadcasting Services Act (1992) should be rejected. It argued that
"a newspapers [sic] role is to assist its readers to be informed about a range of views so they are in a position to decide for themselves what the political 'truth' is".
But when a news company denigrates international scientific consensus with unqualified voices from within its own organisation using scarce and selective sources and to give a particular viewpoint 82 per cent of the weight, this is not only determining the 'truth' in its readers minds, but ensuring its own views become accepted.
News organisations must be held to report the news, not to shape the bounds of reality.

your wish…
I guess you guys like the new PAX program cover. Every time I refresh my mail I have another dozen emails asking for a wallpaper and a poster version. The actual image was for the book cover so it was only about eight inches high. In order to make a poster of it I had to re-draw some big chucks of it. I also had to extend the image vertically and horizontally to match the dimensions of our posters. But I did all that this morning and the poster will be on sale at San Diego Comic Con. Here's a little peak.

Irvine Unified School District
Stonegate Elementary School is the first Irvine Unified School District project to be designed to CHPS design criteria. The project was certified as CHPS Designed, and was the first project in the district to qualify for additional OPSC funding through the High Performance Incentive State program. Among the highlights of the sustainable design strategies are the energy efficiency and water efficiency aspects of the project. Through the use of efficient lighting fixtures and controls, efficient mechanical systems, and high insulation values in the building envelope, the project is calculated to be 23.57% more energy efficient than Title 24 requirements. Low water consumption plumbing fixtures, including waterless urinals, resulted in a 48.8% savings in the use of potable water. The water savings also extends to the site design, where reclaimed water will supply 100% of the landscape irrigation water needs.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi, and thank you for the request. It is good to talk with you again.
What you are describing sounds like it might be mild symptoms of OCD- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The different obsessions are described by the traits they represent. In your case, it sounds like you may have a decision making trait that is causing this problem. It is marked by your ability to know exactly how many times you have tried to decide something each time you make a decision. Then you are bothered by the trouble you have making the decision.
This is not an uncommon problem and can be addressed with medication and behavior modifying therapy. OCD is thought to be caused by a lack of serotonin in your brain. You have enough to start a thought but not enough to end it. There also is a physiological change in the brains of people who have obsessive thoughts where the basal ganglia, the area of the brain where thoughts originate, is flawed. Any SSRI- serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitor- medication can help address the problem and control your behavior. Therapy can also teach you to cope by helping you to change your behavior.
Also, learning more about your issue will help you make informed decisions and find resources that you need to help yourself. First, you need a definitive diagnosis from a therapist or psychiatrist. You can find one through your doctor or search on line at http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/.
Here is some information about OCD. You can use it to see if it fits any other symptoms you may have:
With medication and therapy, you should be able to find it much easier to make decisions.
Let me know if I can help any further,

Ft. Myers, Fla. Chico's FAS Inc. said Wednesday it officially inked an endorsement deal with Debbie Phelps, the mother of Olympic gold-medal swimmer Michael Phelps.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Chico's said Debbie Phelps bought all of the clothes she wore at the Olympics at a Chico's store in Towson, Md., before departing to Beijing.
The company said it "took notice" that Phelps was wearing the chain's wrinkle-resistant Travelers Collection and approached her about a partnership.
"I've been one of Chico's biggest fans for years," Phelps said in a statement. "Every time I have a function or go to an international competition for Michael, I build my outfits using Chico's Travelers, print tops and jewelry."

it means that you are reducing the child's self esteem, by making him dependent on other's to know his or her worth.

The one thing that really stuck out in your post is that you mention "worrying over every tiny detail". I think this general idea comes up again and again, that if the spirit of UP is taken in then it means that we must second guess and worry over all of our parenting behaviors. In my own experience, the impact of UP has been completely opposite. It has opened a window for me - - not that it's message was completely alien to me, but it somehow tied it all up in a way that really shifted my view.

Of Wolfs, Wall Street, Art, and Poser Populists
I was not planning on seeing The Wolf of Wall Street but may have to after reading an op-ed by Christina McDowell, the daughter of Tom Prousalis who was a lawyer in the pump and dump schemes portrayed in the movie. She makes the argument that the film and especially the film makers, Scorsese, DiCaprio, and Winters, have glorified these tactics:
So here's the deal. You people are dangerous. Your film is a reckless attempt at continuing to pretend that these sorts of schemes are entertaining, even as the country is reeling from yet another round of Wall Street scandals. We want to get lost in what? These phony financiers' fun sexcapades and coke binges? Come on, we know the truth. This kind of behavior brought America to its knees.
And yet you're glorifying it — you who call yourselves liberals. You were honored for career excellence and for your cultural influence by the Kennedy Center, Marty. You drive a Honda hybrid, Leo. Did you think about the cultural message you'd be sending when you decided to make this film? You have successfully aligned yourself with an accomplished criminal, a guy who still hasn't made full restitution to his victims, exacerbating our national obsession with wealth and status and glorifying greed and psychopathic behavior. And don't even get me started on the incomprehensible way in which your film degrades women, the misogynistic, ass-backwards message you endorse to younger generations of men.
On the one hand, I think McDowell is suggesting that these "liberal" film makers are what I like to call poser populists; lots of lip service to certain ideals but not much beyond that. Maybe that is so. Some artists and writers were horrible in private life but wrote works that capture and celebrate humanity. Do we stop reading them? No. When the opposite is true, however, we may indeed pass up the work. On the other hand, there is the film by itself. Is it that bad?
With McDowell's critique, I find I may have to see the blasted thing to determine whether it is as lacking substance as it seems. The trailers made the film seem pretty much as McDowell describes. And I happen to find the Scorsese and DiCaprio combo flat film-making. But these images and perspectives of how to conduct one's life come up in both business associations and professional responsibility. While I believe people should make what they wish for film, T.V., books, etc., if those works become popular, I find I want to know them so I can counter-punch the message or give some context to what students see. Thus I agree with McDowell that creators can exercise judgment in what they make, but once the thing is done, blast it all, I may have to dive in if I want to say "Not for me" and back it up with why.

Could you please help me. I cannot seem to change the title of a family page from, for example (Richard Pennyfather and Unknown) to Richard Pennyfather and Emily Wise.
Help Name Page
Hi Christian,
At the [Help Name Page], under "How do I tell what changes have been made...?" there is an invalid link.
The Longmore link in this section, provided as an example of a name page that had been modified, is not presently valid. This particular page may not be an ideal choice now because it recently had to be rolled back. In any case, I wanted to make you aware that this link (below) is invalid.

Creating a family page between two existing persons?
I want to marry Arthur Sinclair Ward and Rose Bell McCarty. They are both in they system already. But whenever I try to marry them, the program creates a new person. How do I connect the existing Arthur Sinclair Ward with the existing Rose Bell McCarty? Thanks.
My last question
I made a mistake. Please disregard. I want to join Rose Bell McCarty with George Shelby Ward who doesn't yet exist on this system. He is the son of Arthur Sinclair Ward. I will try again and then maybe I'll still need that help. Thanks and sorry!

Fixed first problem [11 August 2007]
I went back to patrolling Person pages and the problem that I reported a while ago has been corrected, i.e., when I go back to the Recent Changes page, the page that I just patrolled is no longer on my list of sites to be patrolled.
Thanks for fixing this problem. :)--Dquass 19:03, 10 August 2007 (EDT)
Thanks. I don't remember how I fixed the problem. I do not understand the code you guys use. I just depend on the front-end interface. I know a little VB and VBA, a little C and C++, a little Java, JavaScript, and a little HTML. I have even played with Perl. I know just enough programming to really goof things up! But this code looks like nothing I have ever seen. I had to reinstall my Linux (Samba) file server from scratch about six times until some kind soul gently informed me to stay the @#$* out of root! I can't imagine how complicated your job is, but I want you to know that I appreciate you. I can see that WeRelate has recently undergone a pleasant face lift.--Rghollenbeck 03:39, 11 August 2007 (EDT)
Search box on help page? [16 August 2007]
Hi Christian,
Several times lately I've popped over to the Help page (by clicking on the convenient Help link in the blue banner) and then been frustrated that there isn't a search box there. If the help that one is looking for isn't apparent in the contents shown on that page, it would sure be nice to have a box where you can type the word/phrase of what you're looking for and click 'Search' (which would automatically search within the 'Help' namespace). For me, I've been around here long enough to know that I can go over to the 'Search' page, and search within the 'Help' namespace. But I'd bet a lot of other people looking for help wouldn't know how to do that. Just a suggestion...
Thanks! TomChatt 01:00, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
Dover Neck Place Name [1 December 2007]
Not sure what the convention would be on this historic place name. "Dover Neck" is enclosed by modern day Dover, in Strafford County NH. However, at the time of its existence, this may have been Rockingham County. Since you touched this place name, I was wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks. -jrm--Jrm03063 11:07, 1 December 2007 (EST)
Dover Neck - I'm correcting myself [1 December 2007]
I've looked a little more carefully, and the NH County layout did not exist before 1767/1771. The county wikipedia article is helpful. Since Dover Neck is in Dover, and Dover was never in any county other than Strafford, "Dover Neck, Rockingham, New Hampshire,..." can't ever be right. I'm going to create "Dover Neck, Strafford, New Hampshire,...". Unless something I'm not familiar with points at "Dover Neck, Rockingham", I'll nominate that to be deleted.--Jrm03063 11:20, 1 December 2007 (EST)
Thanks! I see you redirected the other page to point to the Strafford page. That's perfect.--Wrhelp 13:33, 1 December 2007 (EST)
[5 December 2007]
It's not clear to me why or how you are moving links in Steuben County, New York between the Towns and Villages of Bath and Canisteo. In New York, a Town is a division of a County that may or may not include any incorporated Villages. For example, I reside in the Town of Greenwood which has a hamlet of the same name but no incorporated Village. The Town of Canisteo does have an incorporated Village of the same name. In these rural Towns, the incorporated Villages are a small subset of the Towns' area so how do you know if someone resided in the Town or Village when you are moving links about settlers?
Not complain'--just askin' :)

The N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences' Nature Research Center began hosting monthly Teen Science Cafes last year on the first Friday of each month.
And that means that Friday (Jan. 4) is the next one at the downtown Raleigh museum. The event is part of First Friday where downtown galleries, museums, restaurants and shops are open with special hours, deals or events.
From 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., teens are invited to the free event at The Daily Planet Cafe in the Nature Research Center, 121 W. Jones St. The first 50 teens to arrive will get a free meal or smoothie. (Just get there by 5:30 p.m. to claim and redeem the free food).
Friday's topic is "What's in My Water?" Dr. Heather Patisaul from N.C. State University will talk about where drinking water comes from, tap vs. bottled water, the pros and cons of different types of containers and the impacts of our water consumption choices, according to the museum's website. Then, participants can take part in blind taste-tests.

The autism community uses many terms to describe the fact that children and dependent adults with ASD depart safe spaces to put themselves in harm's way. A mother might say her son "is a runner" or that he "bolts" when they are in public places. A father might say his daughter "wanders" or "elopes." It's difficult to name the behavior because we know so little about it. Is it aimless, or are these individuals trying to reach a place or person? Is it motivated by fear, sensory-sensitivity, boredom, or curiosity? Is the person who wanders scared, joyful, or in a fog? How many individuals with ASD engage in this behavior, and to what lengths are families going to keep them safe? Until now, there were few evidence-based answers to such questions.
Of children with ASD who attempted to elope, nearly half actually succeeded and were missing long enough to cause parents significant concern about their safety. The situations were serious enough that 32% of parents in this situation called the police. Furthermore, two out of three reported their wandering child had a "close call" with traffic injury, and almost a third reported a "close call" with drowning.
Children with ASD have many behaviors that families find incredibly stressful, including self-injury, rigidity, aggression, and meltdowns. How did those whose children engaged in elopement behavior compare the stress involved to that caused by other challenging behaviors? More than half (57%) reported that elopement was the most, or among the most, stressful of ASD behaviors. Fear that a child would escape their home during the night disrupted sleep for more than 40% of these families. Likewise, fear of elopement kept 62% of such families from attending or enjoying activities outside the home, increasing social isolation.
GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO), the leader in customizable, 2-way GPS location based tracking solutions has been granted another utility patent, adding to the company's growing IP portfolio that includes 11 issued patents, 5 patents pending and 34 U.S. and 28 foreign patents under its license. The multi-patented GPS technology platform will also soon serve as the foundation for products designed to help the millions of families affected by autism, as a result of a new partnership between GTX Corp and Talk About Curing Autism (TACA).
"With our award winning multi-patented GPS Smart Shoe and patent-pending Alertag we have been at the forefront of connected health for years, providing new levels of functional oversight, security and peace of mind to a variety of audiences and needs," commented Patrick Bertagna, CEO of GTX Corp. "We look forward to developing and bringing to market new, innovative products that both satisfy the ever-increasing consumer demand for location based solutions and that will help support the families challenged with a special needs child."

We rolled into the Deep Sea Dive last year when Devon took it over from its previous incarnation. After several good breakfasts and dinners during our last stay – we knew it would once gain be on our food plan for this trip.
We tend to eat in during the busier days when the day-trippers descend on Ptown so we looked forward to our mid-week visit.
For the first visit we went for breakfast this year and once again ran into the whirling dervish himself (we had met Devon earlier in the week at his other location in the East End; Devon's or read my comments on it here; http://wp.me/s4hbkV-devons ).
Devon was working that morning and greeted us with a warm, cheerful welcome. The ever handsome and man about town, Chad was our waiter, presenting us with several breakfast specials in addition to it's regular menu. After grabbing a much needed coffee for Paul and a green tea for me– we went with the house made sausage scramble special, a house made pesto, cheese and tomato omelet with homemade English muffin and a short stack of gluten free Maine blueberry buckwheat pancakes – well just becuase for that short stack!
When our meal arrived, and quickly at that, one bite and we both knew that ordering the specials were the right choice. The scramble was the perfect combination of cheesy, smoky, mild spicy gooeyness that I love in a breakfast. The omelet was light and well cooked with a filling that made each bite a complete taste.
You can always tell when someone is using a homemade recipe for pesto over a store produced one,. The home version almost always has a little extra depth that comes from using native fresh ingredients that just can't hold the same taste in a jarred version. I love the fact that in both of Devon's restaurants they are stressing homemade foundations of flavor that really makes it an adventure.
FYI: Deep Sea Dive also offers a full dinner menu which we will be taking on later this week. You can also find them on Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/DevonsDeepSeaDive
From its website – which reminded me to mention
"Devon's Deep Sea Dive serves organic fair trade coffee, espresso, and teas. Local and organic produce, meats, and seafood are utilized as much as possible. The menu includes several vegan and gluten-free dishes. The menu is complemented by a concise wine list featuring domestic and imported wines available by the glass and bottle, regional micro brews, and specialty cocktails. Devon's Deep Sea Dive is also open for breakfast, serving specialty omelets, such as truffle cheese and baby spinach, pancakes, and French toast, as well as several vegan options, such as tofu scramble with oven-roasted roma tomatoes, mushrooms, and caramelized onions, and vegan French toast with fresh strawberries. Devon's Deep Sea Dive is open May through October. During the high season (mid-June through mid-September) Devon's Deep Sea Dive is open for breakfast and dinner seven days per week."

After a day of boarding in Whistler, we looked for a place to eat in Squamish on the way home. I had 2-3 other choices that day but for some reason they were closed on that Tuesday because they were closed on Tuesdays, or it was past lunch, or some sort of medical issue. We finally decided on Naked Lunch.
Naked Lunch specializes in sandwiches, so all three of us chose from their grilled sandwiches. You can get a sandwich only for about $7.25, or a sandwich and side (salad, soup, or fries) for $10.25. I ordered the grilled cheddar and bacon with the soup of the day, while my friends ordered grilled ham and cheese with soup, and beef and provolone with fries.
I'll admit my sandwich was really good. It was a nicely grilled whole wheat bread with crisp bacon, gooey cheddar, and a nice horseradish mayo. It was delicious, and I want to make it at home all the time. They don't skimp out on ingredients, and they were packed well with bacon and cheddar. It was warm, and the bread was crunchy. The horseradish mayo added another layer of flavour which I love. The soup of the day was beef and barley soup. Sadly, this looked so much like a canned soup. The beef was cut into perfect cubes, and kind of tough. It was also served just luke warm, so it didn't help warm me up.
I was also able to try the beef and provolone and that was delicious as well. The beef was very soft and tender, but it wasn't shaved or super thin. The horseradish mayo even went better with this. I'm not sure which of the sandwiches I prefer, they were different, and both very good. The fries were more like wedges, but they were nicely crisp and fluffy inside.
I would've given them a 4 if the soup was better and served hot. It did seem a bit expensive too, though it seemed like they used high quality ingredients for their sandwiches. Their special is a schnitzel sandwich which I want to try next time.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of USG Corp. (USG) are up 2.35% to $29.65 following a Barron's article over the weekend which said that "it typically takes a few months before the sound of shovels hitting dirt at a new housing project leads to pay dirt for [the] wallboard maker. The delay, however, bodes well for USG investors, who can expect to see the recent upswing in housing starts reflected in the company's results shortly."
USG, based in Chicago, also makes ceiling tiles and other building products, and "has climbed out of a deep hole since the housing market crashed. But its results have been depressed, as builders remain reticent to ramp up construction. That's created an opportunity," Barron's said.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates USG CORP as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate USG CORP (USG) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk and poor profit margins."

I apologize this video is in Cantonese. But anyway, what the clip was saying that people can develop something called "initially old syndrome", where the origin of this diagnosis is from usage of iPhone and/or iPad (or other similar devices) for a prolonged period of time on a regular basis. This term was developed in Taiwan after a study about usage of these devices over there.
Now, why do I bring this topic? Well, part of this diagnosis is related to stress from the day to day lives in modern society. So, OT's are actually capable in addressing this area because part of health and wellness does deal with stress management. Then, there's also the ergonomics element, since I bet almost everyone in OT would have an idea of the posture required in using these devices. Next, how about self esteem? As the clip mentioned, people who got this syndrome are more prone to get wrinkles at an earlier age (from constant muscle contractions with the face). Finally, with the way technology is going nowadays, using a smart phone and/or other smart devices for multiple purposes is becoming a more and more common occupation for people. (Heck, the bishop who came to my church last Sunday for a bishop visit presented her sermon via an iPad!) Simply put, our profession is very capable to help a lot of people in "slowing their lives down" and be aware of the potential consequences of using it for a period longer than they are supposed to. I believe that once the name of this diagnosis become more well known, our profession could be in high demand if we truly advocate for it.

Inpatient Medicine - Hospitalist
Trina Dorrah, MD, MPH, discusses the role of hospitalist.
What is a hospitalist?
Hospitalists, also known as inpatient medicine physicians, specialize in general medical care for hospitalized patients.
A hospitalist will provide care upon your hospital admission and will continue the care for the duration of your stay. The hospitalist handles admissions, coordinates diagnostic tests, works with your primary care physician, and coordinates your discharge.
How do I get admitted to the hospital?
Most commonly, when your primary care physician recommends hospitalization, he or she will contact a hospitalist to admit you. If you are in the emergency room and need to be admitted to the hospital, the emergency room physician will contact your primary care physician to coordinate your admission through a hospitalist.
What happens when I leave the hospital?
The attending hospitalist will provide discharge information for post-hospital care, and can provide a follow-up appointment with your primary care physician. The hospitalist will provide all information on your care at the hospital to your primary care physician.

The Marcellus Shale is the "Beast in the East" that will impact regional flow patterns, capacity utilization, regional prices and basis relationships.
The dramatic changes in natural gas price relationships and market dynamics that have taken place across North America over the last two years have been fundamentally driven by unconventional gas production growth and the pipeline construction necessary to accommodate that growth. However, equally significant changes are still to come as the Marcellus Shale producing area in the Appalachian Basin grows into a dominant source of supply in the upcoming five years.
Platts Market Alert, Beast in the East, defines the "Beast in the East" as the growing Marcellus Shale production, which is expected to increase 0.6 Bcf/d this year alone, compared to average 2009 production. Even a very conservative projection of Marcellus production growth leads to average Appalachian Basin production forecast of 4.0 Bcf/d in 2014 compared to about 2.2 Bcf/d in 2009. Platts' aggressive growth case shows total Appalachian Basin production reaching more than 6 Bcf/d by 2014.
To support this rapid growth, the gas industry is developing or has announced more than 30 gas pipeline expansion projects in the Northeast. In total, these projects would add more than 12 Bcf/d of gathering, short-haul and long-haul pipeline transportation capacity to markets and pipeline interconnects in the region. Even if a few of these pipelines are constructed, this new capacity can be expected to have a major impact on the dynamics of regional gas flow patterns and capacity utilization. Platts expects these developments to drive widespread changes to regional prices, basis relationships and the value of firm pipeline transportation contracts.

Gas and power infrastructure owner APA Group is in the final stages of agreeing terms for the refinancing of $900 million of debt, about eight months ahead of its repayment date next June.
The terms should be agreed with a syndicate of banks "within the next day or so," APA chairman Len Bleasel will tell the company's annual general meeting in Sydney on Thursday, according to an advance copy of his address.
"The competitive and attractive pricing of local bank facilities has allowed us to refinance all our current debt in this market," Mr Bleasel says in the address, noting that the company also refinanced maturing debt in June and August of this year with $300 million of three-year bank facilities and a further $150 million five-year facility.

text: UK 20 February 2013 Jury discharged in Vicky Pryce trial Unable to reach a verdict. Sign up to the Staggers Morning Call email * Print HTML The jury has been discharged in the Vicky Pryce trial, as it was unable to come to a verdict. Pryce is accused of perverting the course of justice by taking speeding points for her ex-husband, the former Lib Dem cabinet minister Chris Huhne. Earlier, the judge had said he would accept a majority, rather than a unanimous, verdict. The jury's questions to the judge, and the judge's clarifications, make for quite lively reading. In answer to a question about whether "religious conviction be a good enough reason for a wife feeling she had no choice" but to obey her husband, Mr Justice Sweeney wrote: This is not, with respect, a question about this case at all. Vicky Pryce does not say that any such reason formed any part of her decision to do what she did. Answering this question will not help you in any way whatsoever to reach a true verdict in this case. I must direct you firmly to focus on the real issues in this case." I want to repeat the absolutely vital importance of your following my directions of law to the letter and the fact that it is an equally important part of each of your individual duties to ensure that all of you do follow my directions of law to the letter.

The Pirates got their first glance at the future star of the Brewers' rotation for the next 6 years…and they probably didn't like what they saw. Yovani Gallardo stymied Pittsburgh in his first career start against them, holding them to only a pair of runs in the first 6 IP, and then bouncing back and striking out the last two batters in the 7th with the bases loaded, to up his mark 6-4, 4,66 with a 3-2 victory. With the Cubs' loss, the TBBC move up to 1½ back of the Cubs for first place in the NL Central. The Brewers' offense was anemic against Tony Armas, Jr.–the Crew only pounded out 5 base knocks on the night, and only 4 off of Armas…and only of those was a Gallardo home run to help his cause. Also, on the day before roster expansion and the setting of the playoff roster (yeah, probably cursing the Crew by bringing this up, but, hey, it's been 20 years since we can actually talk about it without sounding like a nincompoop), Manny Parra was sent to the 15-day DL…no worries, as players on the DL at the time can be added to playoff rosters, I believe. Parra joins Claudio Vargas, who went on the DL on Tuesday with back pains, meaning the Crew is back down to four starters in the rotation (Sheets, Suppan, Gallardo, and Bush) currently; Greg Aquino was added to the 25-man a day early, but will likely be used only in relief. Joe DiGiovanni of MLB.com reported that Carlos Villanueva and Spurling are likely to re-join the Brewers on Saturday when rosters can expand, as would 2-3 others, with Villanueva penciled in to start on Tuesday versus the Astros.

WASHINGTON (Jan. 27)
The United States Supreme Court Tuesday declined to reconsider its December 1 refusal to hear an appeal by convicted Nazi was criminal Karl Linnas against his deportation to the Soviet Union. The court's action prompted demands by prominent Republicans and Democrats that Attorney General Edwin Meese carry out Linnas' deportation as soon as possible.
In 1981, the Federal District Court on Long Island, NY, stripped Linnas, now 67, of his U.S. citizenship, after finding him responsible for multiple acts of murder committed during his wartime service as chief of the Nazi concentration camp at Tartu, Estonia.
According to the Justice Department, more than 12,000 persons were murdered at the camp. Linnas was ordered deported in 1983 and has been held since April 1986 at the Metropolitan Correction Center in New York City.
Praising Tuesday's Supreme Court decision for "upholding the laws of our nation and bringing to justice a man whose actions are directly responsible for some of the most brutal murders of our time," Sen. Alfonse D'Amato (R. NY) declared that "Linnas must and will be deported from the United States."
Also urging Meese to act swiftly was Brooklyn District Attorney Elizabeth Holtzman, who as a Democratic Congresswoman sponsored the 1978 federal legislation that specifically authorized the deportation of Nazi war criminals.
She said Tuesday that the Supreme Court's final decision "brings to an end Linnas' effort to forestall the inevitable — his deportation from this country. The United States should not provide a safe haven even one day longer for this Nazi criminal," she said.
Reacting to the Supreme Court decision, World Jewish Congress vice president Kalman Sultanik, himself a Holocaust survivor, declared: "At long last, justice has been done. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity." The Justice Department has not disclosed what, if any, transportation arrangements have been made for Linnas. His deportation papers must in any event be signed by or on behalf of Meese before the expulsion can actually be carried out.

Siemens is supplying specialised gear and control technology for the world's first community tidal power project.
Siemens Industry's Mechanical Drives in Leeds has supplied a specialised gear unit with electric motor and control system to Nova Innovation, a leader in tidal technology.
The Siemens technology features in the world's first community-owned tidal power project, based in the Bluemull Sound in Shetland, between the islands of Yell and Unst, the two most northerly inhabited islands in the UK. It is a 30kW unit with three-bladed rotor, and is being deployed in early 2013 to provide power to a local ice-house and industrial estate. The local community will reap the benefits of the project, safeguarding jobs and providing valuable income.
The turbine was designed by Nova Innovation, the Leith-based tidal solutions company, and is currently being built by Steel Engineering in Renfrew. The generating unit, with Siemens gearbox and generator, comes in a watertight housing and changes angle depending on wind direction, which will increase its predicted revenue by up to 40%.
Nova Innovation director Simon Forrest said:
"Siemens have provided us with a complete design technology solution in that the drive and control unit are fully integrated. We are winning more work in this important area, and plans are progressing well for significant growth in the emerging global tidal market. Our units are designed to be reliable, cost-effective to install and to maximise generating efficiency."
The Bluemull Sound unit is expected to be operational by Spring 2013.
General manager at Siemens Mechanical Drives, Simon Nadin commented: "Tidal technology is developing fast and the UK leads the world in this sector, which has significant potential for greening the UK economy. We are doing everything we can to support emerging tidal specialists such as Nova and are delighted our drives and control units are being selected for such important milestone projects."

Pelosi Statement on the Departure of Secretary Hilda Solis
Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after Secretary Hilda Solis announced that she would be stepping down from her post at the Department of Labor:
"Secretary Hilda Solis has established an extraordinary record as an unflinching advocate for American workers, a dedicated leader for the equality of women in the workplace, a critical voice for Democrats in Congress, and a bold leader in President Obama's administration.
"Secretary Solis has been a pioneer and a trailblazer: the first woman to receive the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award; the first Latina in the California State Senate; the first Latina Cabinet member in history; the highest-ranking Latina in President Obama's Cabinet.
"She has been a key member of the President's economic team – working for our economic recovery, helping lead a revival of our manufacturing sector, investing in job training for our workers. From the state legislature to the corridors of Congress, she made her mark in environmental protection and workplace safety, in retirement security and affordable health care, in stronger schools for our youth, in efforts to curb and combat domestic violence in our homes and communities.
"From start to finish, Secretary Solis has proven herself an honored colleague, a dear friend, and an invaluable partner for her fellow Democrats in Congress, in California, and across the country. Her service has been a source of pride to all of us. She will be missed in our nation's capital. We wish her well in her future endeavors."

The Green Bay Packers made their first major splash in the free agent market this offseason, agreeing to terms with defensive back Charles Woodson yesterday.
Woodson's agent, Kevin Poston, said the Packers agreed to a seven-year deal for $52.7 million, including $10.5 million in the first year of the contract.
Woodson's signing comes a day after Brett Favre told the team he would return to play the 2006 season. Favre previously urged the team to make a ''statement" in free agency, similar to the signing of Reggie White in 1993.
The team lost out on its pursuit of kicker Adam Vinatieri and linebacker LaVar Arrington before finally landing Woodson.
Woodson, a four-time Pro Bowler, has played eight seasons for the Oakland Raiders, intercepting 17 passes in 106 games.
Woodson hasn't played a full season since 2001, and broke his right leg Oct. 23 against Buffalo. The Raiders declined to use their franchise tag on Woodson, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Meanwhile, Favre, who turns 37 Oct. 10, will return to quarterback the Packers for his 16th NFL season. He took several weeks to make the decision, and the team extended a deadline to pay him a $3 million bonus three times while he considered his future.
The Packers went 4-12 last season, their worst record since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978. Favre started all 16 games and extended his NFL record for consecutive starts to 221 games.
The Texans dashed the hopes of Texas fans who have been clamoring for the team to pick Vince Young, a Houston native who led the Longhorns to a Rose Bowl win and the national championship over Bush and USC.
''We came to the conclusion that to draft a quarterback, whether it be Vince Young, Matt Leinart, or Jay Cutler, was not the best thing for this football team," Casserly said.
