With that out of the way, i just wanted to say i seriously can not believe how bad this mock is, that was actually done by a popular site (CBS), not just some crap site no one has heard of. It is the one all the way to the left by Dennis Dodd that sucks so bad. http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/draft/mock He has SF passing on Davis not only at 6 but 22 as well. LOL

Eric Cantor released the following statement in response to Democrat Senator Tim Johnson's comments made at a Stephanie Herseth rally. According to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, Senator Johnson said, "how sweet it's going to be on June 2 when the Taliban wing of the Republican Party finds out what's happened in South Dakota."
"By comparing Republicans to the Taliban, Senator Johnson's comments are clearly outside the realm of appropriate campaign speech. In the past week, we have seen Senator Hollings' anti-Semitic claims that Jews are the reason we invaded Iraq and now Senator Johnson has compared Republicans to terrorists. These calculated and callous attacks on their fellow Americans are inexcusable. To attack the patriotism of Americans with whom you disagree is just plain wrong.
"Once again, the silence coming from the Democrat party-from rally host Stephanie Herseth to Senator Tom Daschle-is deafening. This silence can only lead me to believe that these comments are acceptable to Democrats. Americans are worthy of a better debate on the future of our nation. These insensitive and hate-filled remarks cheapen our political dialogue and encourage divisions.
"I am confident that if Republicans uttered similar remarks, Democrat leaders would demand retraction-not because of partisanship, but because these statements are morally wrong. Senator Tom Daschle and the leaders of the Democrat party owe the American public either a rationale for their silence or a clear refutation of these hateful remarks."

Michael Bublé is a talented guy. He's a globally-celebrated, Grammy-winning, gold-album singer as well as a former actor, hockey player, and aspiring journalist. But a guest appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on Monday night proved the Burnaby, B.C. crooner can't play the accordion worth a lick.
Bublé teamed up with to Jimmy Fallon to go head-to-head against actress Keira Knightley and musician Dave Matthews in a game that saw each of the four players choose an obscure instrument while their partner tried to guess which tune they were playing. However, it wasn't long before the entire skit turned into everyone teasing Bublé for his Canadian heritage.
"He's from Canada, they know Old MacDonald there!" Fallon shouted after Bublé correctly guessed the song Fallon played on the melodica. "That's fantastic!"
"That's their national anthem," Matthews quipped in response.

Bublé's biggest humiliation came when he attempted to play "New York, New York" on the accordion. Not even familiar with how to hold the instrument, the singer's rendition drew head shakes and eye rolls from "Late Night" band The Roots.
Even though Bublé and Fallon ended up beating Knightley and Matthews, it must not have gone exactly as the 37-year-old "Home" singer had dreamed. All the while, though, he kept a smile on his face and his spirits up -- not bad, for a guy whose ex-girlfriend once called him "a self-obsessed jerk". However, Bublé recently admitted he's turned a corner in his rude boy attitude.
"When life is good you should just really appreciate that. I used to be a professional a------. A lot of that came from insecurity and not being able to live in the moment," he told the Toronto Star in November. "The difference is some people will know it and want to change, others won't, but I thought if I don't I'll probably end up alone with long fingernails. I was pretty insecure."

Now that he's happily married to Argentinean actress Luisana Lopilato, Bublé says he's feeling more content and humble. And not only on TV appearances, but in admitting he "wimped out" on playing hockey with the Vancouver Canucks, and in joining "Saturday Night Live" in parodying Bublé's Christmas Duets.
Continuing in the festive, spirit, Bublé's Christmas special "Home for the Holidays" will air on Dec. 10 on NBC, where, hopefully, no one will dispute his musical ability or his newfound Canadian good-naturedness.

A school garden can be a wonderful outdoor classroom. Children can learn a variety of subjects while working with others to grow their own food. But in some school districts the children have the gardens to grow the food, but are forbidden from eating it in their lunchrooms.
When I first read that the Chicago Public Schools are not able to use the produce grown in their more than 40 school gardens in the lunchroom, I was shocked. Why grow it if you can't consume it? The truth is that due to rules set by the district and its meal provider the food must be either given away, sent home with students, or sold.
"In order to use food in the school food program, it would need to meet specific/certified growing practices," CPS spokeswoman Monique Bond said.
These requirements would include eliminating all "pesticides and insecticide" applications and using only "commercially prepared organic compost and fertilizers," said Bob Bloomer, regional vice president of Chartwells-Thompson.
Commercial vendors, though, don't have to abide by these rules. They can sell the district produce treated with several pesticides and grown in nonorganic fertilizer.
But produce grown by the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences on its 25-acre farm wouldn't make the grade because, for example, it treats its corn with a single pesticide.
The school district touts using some local produce in its lunch program, but the produce that is most local of all -- grown right outside their doors -- is off limits. Children are being denied the most local and fresh produce of all. How does that make any sense?
According to the CDC, more than one-third of U.S. adults (over 72 million people) and 17% of U.S. children are obese. For Chicago children ages 6-11, the obesity rate is 28%. So in an area where more and more children are overweight or obese and, as evidenced in Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, some American first graders can't identify vegetables, the system is denying them healthy, local food.
Unfortunately, this is happening other school districts as well. Sybil who blogs at Musings of a Milk Maker told me on Facebook that this is also the case at the public school she is trying to get her daughter into.
Andrea Ward isn't surprised by any of this. She had this to say on Facebook, "Lunch food is a big time business with big time rules and greed. Education is never about the kids (unless you are the one in the trenches--then that's all you care about). Otherwise, it's about politics. And politics is about money."
However, other school districts across the country, such as Auburn School District in Washington state, have been able to adopt a garden to cafeteria plan. The school district's 1 1/2 acre organic garden and orchard produces "fruits and vegetables for student lunches and snacks in 10 elementary schools. In addition to garden produce, the Auburn School District purchases from local farmers for all 22 schools." This single garden produces food for all elementary schools during the growing and harvesting seasons.
Joanne White who blogs at Media Mum told me about her son's elementary school in the Boulder Valley School District, Colo., where the school garden provides produce for its own salad bar. Joanne said, "The kids are fully involved from garden to table. No way Jamie Oliver would find any of them not knowing what a tomato is!"
In other school districts, the students eat what they grow, but not necessarily in the lunchroom, however not for the same reasons that the Chicago Public School District gave.
Karen from Eternal Maternal said her son participated in a school garden program at his elementary school located in Vancouver School District in Washington State. The children ate what they grew, but due to a variety of reasons including not enough of any one ingredient, lack of preparation time, etc., the produce was not used in the school cafeteria. Karen said, "I think it's very important that kids learn where their food comes from and what it takes to get it to the point that it can be eaten. Providing food for oneself is a basic need. Typically, we don't have to do it for ourselves until we're in college and what do we do then? Go to the grocery store and buy a case of Ramen. When children learn to grow food that can sustain themselves, even if only partially, it gives them a sense of accomplishment, raises their awareness of the environment and, whether they realize it or not, raises their level of security because it's a way they know of to care for themselves."
At Stylin Momma Katy's daughter's charter elementary school in Maryland, all of the children participate in the school garden in one way or another. Her daughter is in kindergarten where they are in charge of pollination. The garden food is not used in the school cafeteria food (which is brought in) and most students bring lunches from home. However, Katy said, "they will sometimes have a sampling station in the lunchroom where the kids can try the foods picked from the garden, or they will use it in cooking class. They also have a school produce stand as a fundraiser."
After hearing about the practices of different school districts, I have to say I find the reasoning behind Chicago Public School District's ban on garden food in the lunchroom appalling. I have to agree with Andrea above who said, "it's about politics. And politics is about money." If the district had these kids' best interests at heart, they would find a way to allow the locally grown garden food into the cafeterias.
Despite all of this, I am pleased to hear that many districts -- especially inner-city districts like Chicago -- have implemented school gardens. Perhaps even if the children are not allowed to eat the food in the lunchroom, they still are learning the valuable life lesson of how to grow it and perhaps are able to take some of it home to their families to enjoy.

Valles Caldera National Preserve is an ecologically rich 89,000-acre swath of land in New Mexico, one with a long human history and with a spectacular history of volcanism. And it's an area that National Parks Conservation Association officials believe would best be served as a unit of the National Park System.
"The Valles Caldera National Preserve is an incredible cross-section of human history and impressive geological features, and, as a new economic report on the site states, with proper management by the National Park Service it can be preserved for future generations while also providing an economic boon to local communities and New Mexico," said David Nimkin, the NCPA's Southwest Region director, the other day when the organization released a report on the preserve and how best to manage it.
"The report from Caldera Action gives a detailed analysis in comparing the current private-public management of the site, which has failed to become sustainable, with multiple other scenarios," said Mr. Nimkin. "And, unsurprisingly to those of us who treasure historic and natural sites, the report determines that the background, expertise, and workforce of the NPS is best suited for both preserving the site and using it as an anchor of local economic growth."
Tom Ribe, a long-time public land and national park advocated based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, described the landscape for Traveler readers in January 2010. This is how he put it:
The Valles Caldera is a circle of 11,200-foot mountains that cradle vast valleys full of grass and wildlife and rippled with hot springs and clear creeks. Its rim mountains are cloaked in fir, aspen, pine and spruce. The Valles Caldera stands at the center of the Pueblo Indian world of the Southwest with many living Pueblo communities a short distance from its flanks and the great "Anasazi" (ancestral pueblo) ruins at Bandelier National Monument, Chaco Culture National Historical Park and various state parks nearby.
Complementing its expansive wild beauty is the rich, colorful history of the area. Hispanos from centuries-old villages to its immediate north ventured into the caldera warily before the American army drove Apache and Navajo raiders from its forests in the 1860s. Pages from the Valles Caldera's rough past tell of sheep ranchers grazing its valleys nearly to dust during the Depression, and loggers spiraling many of the mountains with logging roads until the 1970s.
But it's the rugged and spectacular scenery that most draws visitors. The Valles Caldera is a huge, dormant field of volcanoes that erupted between 1 million and 20 million years ago. The volcanism sculpted a magnificent and well-preserved complex of landscape features. The Pajarito Plateau (where the National Park Service's Bandelier National Monument lies just east of the Valles Caldera) reveals orange and pink volcanic cliffs, rich with archeological sites. Many of the high Jemez Mountains formed by massive volcanic ash-spewing eruptions are contained within the Valles Caldera National Preserve and excite geologists, many of whom have called for the preserve to be declared a World Heritage Site.
On Monday the NPCA released a report (attached) touting the value of the preserve and how it could best be protected within the National Park System.
This report finds that NPS management would provide more stable long-term local economic benefits, more reliable resource protection, and superior visitor experiences. Further, the report concludes that National Park Service management would better fulfill the primary purposes of the Preserve: protecting and preserving the resources of the historic Baca ranch, and providing opportunities for public recreation.
"In addition to preventing incompatible uses from marring Valles Caldera's incredible landscapes, the report shows that NPS management will make it more accessible to visitors and give a major boost to the local and New Mexico economy, including increasing economic benefits by more than $110 million in the first 15 years," Mr. Nimkin noted. "The report also points out that NPS management will also be able to eliminate current administrative inefficiencies by consolidating the management of Valles Caldera National Preserve and the adjacent Bandelier National Monument."

36 F3d 1112 Crespin v. Brown
36 F.3d 1112
Jose M. CRESPIN, Claimant-Appellant,
Jesse BROWN, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Respondent-Appellee.
No. 94-7080.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
Aug. 17, 1994.
NOTICE: Federal Circuit Local Rule 47.6(b) states that opinions and orders which are designated as not citable as precedent shall not be employed or cited as precedent. This does not preclude assertion of issues of claim preclusion, issue preclusion, judicial estoppel, law of the case or the like based on a decision of the Court rendered in a nonprecedential opinion or order.
Before PLAGER, LOURIE, and RADER, Circuit Judges.
LOURIE, Circuit Judge.
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs moves to waive the requirements of Fed.Cir.R. 27(e) and to dismiss Jose M. Crespin's appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Crespin has not responded.
Crespin was denied service connection for a back disorder in 1981. In 1989, Crespin sought to reopen his case by submitting alleged new and material evidence. 38 U.S.C. Sec. 5108. The Board denied reopening, determining that the evidence submitted by Crespin was not new and material but was instead "cumulative, redundant and otherwise not material as to service connection for a back disability." Crespin appealed to the Court of Veterans Appeals. The Court of Veterans Appeals summarily affirmed the Board's decision, concluding that although the Board might have erred in assessing the credibility of a doctor's statement before first reopening the claim, the error was harmless and the evidence was not new and material.
Under 38 U.S.C. Sec. 7292, this court may review only challenges to the validity or interpretation of a statute or regulation, or to the interpretation of a constitutional provision, that the Court of Veterans Appeals relied on in its decision. If an appeal to this court from the Court of Veterans Appeals does not challenge the validity or interpretation of a statute or regulation, or the interpretation of a constitutional provision, Sec. 7292(d) requires this court to dismiss the appeal. That section states that this Court "may not review (A) a challenge to a factual determination, or (B) a challenge to a law or regulation as applied to the facts of a particular case."
In his informal brief, Crespin argues that the Court of Veterans Appeals' decision was based upon untrue facts. Thus, Crespin challenges the Court of Veterans Appeals' factual determinations. As this court has no jurisdiction to conduct such an inquiry, this appeal must be dismissed. See Livingston v. Derwinski, 959 F.2d 224, 225-26 (Fed.Cir.1992).
(1) The Secretary's motion to waive the requirements of Fed.Cir.R. 27(e) is granted.
(2) The Secretary's motion to dismiss is granted.
(3) Each side shall bear its own costs.

Garnier 5 Sec Blur Skin Renew Instant Smoother
Garnier 5 Sec Blur Skin Renew Instant Smoother Reviews
Pricey but effective!I saw a You Tube review on this product from one of my favorite beauty bloggers, so I decided to give it a try. I don't think that primers are necessarily well, necessary. LOL However, this one wasn't too bad. I have pretty decent skin to begin with but I do have large pores around my nose and cheeks. I have used the NYX Pore Filler and the Maybelline Pore Eraser primer, and honestly, the Garnier ...read moreworked just as well as the others but at a much higher price point IMO. This tube runs about $16 which is about twice as much as I would want to pay for a primer, but on the plus side, it comes in a fairly large tube and carries 1 oz. of product. The product is a pale pink and has a whippy, mousse texture which is quite comfortable on the skin! The texture very much reminds me of NYX Pore Filler but lighter and airier. I probably wouldn't purchase this again since I can find something just as effective for less, but this is a good primer so if you are looking to try it, I don't think you will be disappointed! (Note: I was actually really surprised with the negative reviews on this product. Other than the price point, I thought this product was highly effective at smoothing my pores and skin, making my makeup easier to apply. If I didn't have large pores, I actually wouldn't use a primer but this helps to fill them in.) — 2 years, 10 months agopixie_dust | 492 reviews

Hmm....I'm not a big fan of primers so I'm always apprehensive about trying them. I bought this on sale. It wasn't bad and maybe it'll work better for the winter/colder months than summer/warmer weather. Apparently my dog was excited about me getting it - he decided to open and start chewing on the tube for me. — 2 years, 12 months agoSwoldierGirl72 | 342 reviews

The Super Record™ sprocket set exploits a new frame for the two supersize titanium sprocket triplets. The strength and resistance to torsion have been increased as a result. The design of the teeth strains the chain less.
Eleven sprockets that are even more efficient despite the reduction of the thicknesses? We have succeeded. The teeth have been designed to optimize the speed and fluidity of shifting. This form reduces stress on the chain which ascends more easily onto the higher diameter sprockets. The large pinions are divided into sets of three and are mounted on a new aluminium frame. Thanks to this, rigidity increases 180% and the individual sprockets are 70% more resistant to torsion.

Economists, civil servants and a former Comptroller and Auditor General are to advise the committee that must agree the terms of the Oireachtas banking inquiry.
This advisory group is going to help the committee set the terms of reference for the banking inquiry before the middle of September.
One source close to the committee said the group will provide "sign posts" for the TDs and Senators but the final decisions will be taken by the politicians.
A list of names drawn up by the committee of who they want to advise them includes economist Colm McCarthy and Karl Whelan.
But commenting on Twitter tonight Mr Whelan said he was unable, due to work and family commitments, to accept the committee's request to join the advisory group.
Dr Conor McCabe from the School of Social Justice at University College Dublin is also on the list.
One of two former Comptrollers and Auditors General, John Buckley or John Purcell, are also set to advise the committee.
Officials from the Department of Finance, the Department of the Taoiseach and the Central Bank will also sit on the advisory group.
The make-up of the advisory group will be discussed at the next committee meeting on Tuesday next.
These advisers will not be allowed give any evidence to the inquiry once it gets up and running.
The committee plans to begin its work in the autumn and hopes to hold public hearings early next year with the aim of completing its task by November 2015.

Arkansas is not a "state plan" state; that is, it does not have a federally approved occupational safety and health program. Consequently, the federal rules govern workplace safety and health requirements, including recordkeeping, in the private sector.
Public sector employers (state and local governments) in Arkansas are governed by state occupational safety and health requirements, including recordkeeping, which are significantly less comprehensive than federal requirements, except that public employers must follow state hazard communication recordkeeping requirements that are stricter than federal requirements. See the TABLE for state-specific safety recordkeeping requirements.
See the national section RECORDKEEPING for more information on federal recordkeeping requirements.

Managing change at a time of extreme volatility has in many ways become the primary task of CFOs in recent years -- and one of their primary reasons for stress. Whether it's felt from pressure in uneven company performance, shifting regulatory requirements and ambiguous strategies, charting a steady course amid a shifting landscape lies at the heart of a CFO's duties.
But according to recent research from Deloitte, a new form of stress has become dominant on executives' plates: major change initiatives. Nearly 56 percent of all CFOs queried by the research firm in its second quarter CFO Signals report said change initiatives as their largest career stress, citing the upward rise in mergers and acquisitions, shifts in organizational strategies and structures and new investments IT.
According to the study, there are several dynamics behind the shift: the broader change in business environment over the last 18 months, as well as the large cash reserves organizations are sitting on.
"Many of these CFOs are being evaluated by how well they respond to this turmoil," says Greg Dickinson, who leads the Deloitte CFO Signals survey. "They're under enormous pressure to make a lot of important decisions. With all of that volatility, companies are putting major rework into their strategies. CFOs are having a big hand in helping make those decisions."
A second key finding from the study was that CFOs and their finance organizations are clearly playing broader and deeper roles. In the aftermath of economic turmoil, CFOs in previous surveys with Deloitte reported to having perform "steward" and "operator" roles.
Those responsibilities have subsided greatly, according to the most recent survey. As domestic economies have rebounded over the last several quarters, companies have shifted back toward growth, and CFOs are spending more of their time in "strategist" and "catalyst" roles.
That high-level strategy perspective though will require skill sets gained through experience that many executives might not yet possess, says Dickinson, such as operational knowledge, turning a proposed strategy into executed action and building support for it throughout an organization.
"You're starting to see a different type of person being attracted to the finance function and the CFO role," says Dickinson. "It has attracted people who are less of the guardian and protective type and are instead more pioneers – people that posses the desire to get things done."
The shift also illustrates the nature of CFOs is shifting both in terms of base personality type, but also organizational role. As changing business environments force companies to change strategies, select and execute major change initiates and manage a broad range of risks, CFOs appear to be playing bigger and more formal roles in each of these areas.

NPD Group, 900 West Shore Road, Port Washington, NY, 11050, United States
The iPhone 4S, along with cheaper older models, has helped Apple close the distance on Google's Android, drawing within a few percentage points in recent smartphone sales market share in the U.S., according to the NPD Group.
In a CES telecom fact sheet, the research firm said that iOS has zoomed up to 43 percent of sales in October and November, compared with 26 percent in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Android's share dropped from a high of 60 percent in the third quarter to 47 percent in October and November. The results affirm again that Android and iOS are in a two-horse race that has gotten tighter with the release of the iPhone 4S.

Rates on hold until 2015: experts
The Reserve Bank decided to leave the cash rate on hold at 2.5 per cent on Tuesday with property experts now predicting that interest rates are unlikely to change until 2015.
Domain Group senior economist Dr Andrew Wilson said short of a "currency crisis" triggered by an unforeseen international event, "there is absolutely no rational case for an increase in interest rates given the short- and medium-term outlook for the economy".
A recent survey from mortgage comparison website finder.com.au also suggested a rate hike is unlikely any time soon.
Of the 18 experts that took part in the survey, 11 said the cash rate would stay on hold until 2015, with six boldly betting on no rise until the second half of next year.
But the director of the website, Fred Schebesta, said an ongoing period of cheap finance would not be enough to draw first-home buyers back into the market.
"Even though the cash rate has sat at a record low of 2.50 per cent for almost a year, it hasn't encouraged more Australians to enter the property market," said Mr Schebesta.
"In fact, we've seen a decline in the proportion of first home buyers out of all loans financed since the cash rate began to fall in November 2011."
Mr Schebesta said he expects the outlook for first timers to worsen and "drop to about one in 10 of all home loans".
Dr Wilson said a long period of low interest rates may have actually disadvantaged first-home buyers.
"The lower cost of finance has released pent-up demand, which has pushed prices up," he said.
"So what first home buyers have gained with low interest rates they've lost by actually having to borrow more because prices are higher."
Figures released by RP Data on Tuesday suggested that Australia's price growth had peaked, but first home buyers in some cities should still expect further price increases.
"The quarterly rate of growth peaked across the Australian housing market in August last year at 4.0 per cent," said RP Data research director Tim Lawless.
"Sydney is probably at or close to the peak of its cycle right now. . . we will start to see growth rates across Sydney tapering away to something that is more sustainable.
"Brisbane is the only other market really that may give Sydney a run for its money in terms of value growth performance because we are starting to see some momentum gather in that market now."
Mr Lawless agreed that the cash rate will remain at its current low setting.
"At least for the remainder of this year," he said.
A sentiment yet again echoed by Reserve Bank Governer Glenn Stevens who noted in his statement: "On present indications, the most prudent course is likely to be a period of stability in interest rates".

06/16 HIV/AIDS Outreach Programme in Southern Africa
Neddy Matshalanga, Edem Djokotoe
Serier Sida EvaluationDescription:
Social Transformation and Empowerment Projects (STEPS) came into being in 2001 as a non-profit making organisation to oversee and to manage a media intervention project for HIV and AIDS in southern Africa called Steps for the Future. The project was based on the idea of using film in a non-broadcast context for HIV/AIDS education and awareness. The project currently under review had a life span from 2003 to April 2006. During the current project period, Steps for the Future partnered with International Video Fair (IVF), a non-profit making trust in Zimbabwe that also used film as an information dissemination tool to poor communities across the country. This evaluation was commissioned by Sida.

Rhode Island School District "Explains" Home School Denials
As mentioned in a recent article, East Providence School District perfunctorily denied many families the right to home school at its October 11 meeting. On behalf of our members in East Providence, Home School Legal Defense Association requested a written explanation for the denials. On November 5, we finally received a response from the school district.
According to the district's letter, the families were not denied for any substantive reason, but "because of an incomplete application process."
HSLDA Attorney Scott Woodruff stated that this means these families did not use the school district's form to apply for home schooling. "There is nothing in state law that requires a particular form, but East Providence has decided to mandate that its form is the only acceptable one," he said.
HSLDA will keep you informed as we defend our families' right to teach their children under Rhode Island law.

''For many long months we starved. The best we could do was rewatch old episodes to remind ourselves of the many ingredients that make up this densely populated drama.''
What could former Prime Minister Julia Gillard be writing about? The period in the wilderness after Kevin Rudd Mark II returned, throwing her out of her job?
The lean times when she and Tim departed from The Lodge, adjusting to life after politics and before the Adelaide mansion, sustaining themselves on nothing but the parliamentary pension and memories of the never-ending drama they had left behind?
Not at all. Ms Gillard has taken to the esoteric business of critiquing, for an online publication, the cult TV show Game of Thrones.
Her starving was done between episodes, she tells. In the dark times, she discovered sustenance in the fantasy series.
''I first felt the addictive power of Game of Thrones when I was prime minister, living in a world where power was also pursued relentlessly, albeit far less colourfully,'' she writes for Guardian Australia.
''Certainly the characters of my world were nowhere near as good looking or exotically dressed.''
Quite. Faceless men and Kevin Rudd would seem unlikely to get a call-back from casting directors for a fabulously successful fantasy in the making.
''The staff who worked with me most closely talked in a language I didn't understand, discussing the Wall and the White Walkers, the Iron Throne and dragonglass,'' Ms Gillard writes, granting a revealing glimpse of the weirdness of her prime ministerial office.
''During moments of rest, the police on my protection detail would be hunched over iPads watching and talking the same strange lingo.''
Revelation came to the prime minister when she binged for three days over Christmas, 2012, on series one of Game of Thrones.
''Fiction and reality started to collide'' she recalls. ''Returning to my office after an aborted coup in March 2013, I was greeted with posters of sword-fighting with the slogan: 'What do we say to the god of death? Not today.' I made it known I was barracking for the Khaleesi. After all, what girl has not yearned for a few dragons when in a tight spot?''
History shows, of course, that the Khaleesi, mother of dragons, was not enough. The god of death, named Kevin, came another day, and put Ms Gillard to the sword. Perhaps she should have yearned for a white knight rather than dragons.
Ms Gillard, would-be slayer of misogynists, continues to find inspiration in the females of the Game, though her own throne is long gone.
''In this world of constant war, female characters have never been relegated to the sidelines,'' she notes with satisfaction.
''They confound the stereotypes. Being a wife or being a whore does not mean being a bit player in a male drama. The women of combat command our attention once again.''
We are not entirely sure precisely what she means, but it's hard not to get the drift, even if it's fantasy.
The story Fantasy trumps reality as Julia Gillard reflects on Game of Thrones and her time as prime minister first appeared on The Sydney Morning Herald.

Online Shopping Use it, target it and save on every $ Spend... For moms who are willing to Save
Well I was thinking of why do people mostly stick to one store even online. I use to do the same but over the past few years I have combined different purchasing methods on different stores to see the limit of online shopping using coupons and deals.
I have listed below my top options For Grocery I mostly use http://www.couponmissy.com/grocery-coupons/
I have made a list of top shopping stores where you can easily find coupons and deal but first I would like to share my story. I got really paranoid for saving more and more, Neil felt as if I have lost it completely. My passion to save started consuming so much of my time, then I started selling whatever I got for a cheaper price on the internet and started making good money from it. Last year I finally decided of controlling my saving fever and start managing everything based on importance. I would all of you guys to learn from my experience and dont use as much time as I did to get this knowledge instead treat my advises like you treat the marketing campaigns. So link to my most favorite stores is
Also I am starting a new area in my website called Coupon Saving Tips. Would love it if I can get an understanding of what would be the first step in starting it. Like what would you want to read or want to know about coupons.


text: The fidelity of a polymerase refers to its ability to insert the correct base during PCR. Conversely, the rate of misincorporation is known as a polymerase's error rate. High-fidelity PCR, utilizes a DNA polymerase with a low error rate and results in a high degree of accuracy in the replication of the DNA of interest. NEB scientists were the first to identify and commercialize a high-fidelity DNA polymerase suitable for PCR, namely VentR® DNA Polymerase.Since its discovery, several other high fidelity polymerases have been discovered and engineered – all with differing processivity, speed and levels of accuracy.. When do you need a high-fidelity DNA polymerase?

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota boy who stowed away on a flight to Las Vegas last year is close to being reunited with his parents.
Judge Joseph Klein on Friday said he is pleased enough with the boy's progress that he soon may be able to permanently rejoin his family.
The boy, who is now 10, has been placed outside his home under child protective services.
The Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/1fQAkOu ) reports the boy was not in court Friday. The next court hearing will be held March 19.
The boy gained national notoriety Oct. 3 when he sneaked past federal security agents at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and boarded a flight to Las Vegas by himself without a ticket. He was detained when the plane landed in Nevada, and was later returned to Minnesota.

Ah, the half-term holidays. It was great to see so many visitors to the Science Museum last week – hope you had a good time!
Others may perhaps have jetted away with the kids for a relaxing overseas break. Did you use Heathrow Airport? These days there are several ways to get there: car, taxi, train, Tube or coach. But for many travellers back in the 1950s, coach was the only option:
That's our AEC 'Regal IV' airline coach from 1953. Isn't it just a peach? British European Airways (BEA) ran a fleet of 65 of these one-and-a-half-deck coaches in the 1950s to whisk travellers between the 'West London Air Terminal' (in Cromwell Road, not far from the Science Museum) and the airport.
The special body was designed by London Transport and featured a raised passenger deck over a large luggage compartment. They seated 37 people, and although owned by BEA, they were operated on their behalf by London Transport.
These coaches were still carrying passengers well into the 1960s, by which time BEA's fleet included Hawker Siddeley 'Trident' aircraft. We have one in our aviation collection – more on that later. In the meantime, I'd love to hear comments from anyone who remembers using these Heathrow transfer coaches or the West London Air Terminal…

This is such fun to serve and so easy to prepare. When bringing the "bowls" to the table it just looks like bread.
I threw some stuff together i had at home and after i tried it, I knew I had a great burger.
I wanted to do a different type of burger with a fresh summer taste since I was using King's Hawaiian sandwhich buns I decided to add pineaple to it.

I just had restylane on both sides of my face and only one side of my face is swollen. And it obvious that one side is fuller than the other. Is this normal and how long should I wait before I call the doctor?
I Just Had Restylane on Both Cheeks and Only One Side of my Face is Swollen. Normal?
Doctor Answers 9
Asymmetrical swelling after Restylane
Asymmetry after filler
First, everyone has asymmetry. Unless there is a large discrepancy or you think you have a hematoma, then there is not much else to do at this point. If you are concerned, then you should contact your doctor. Usually it is a good idea to wait a few weeks before getting touch-ups to allow the swelling to settle.
Swelling after Restylane Injections
Yes, this is normal. No one is completely symmetrical. Various injections in the skin can cause damage to tissues and inturn cause swelling! The inflammation can last a week to 2 weeks at the most. Have patience. Ice the area if the injections were recent (within the first 24 to 48 hours). Good luck

Remember that it is possible for one side to bruise.
I get called for all sorts of things. Honestly, I would rather see someone for something that turns out to be nothing than miss something important. Most likely your injector feels the same way. Having said that, swelling after a service is very common and it does not have to be the same on each side. While we docs like to think that the service is zero down time, that is not really true. I often use 40 hours for normal swelling provided there is no bruise. With a bruise, swelling can persist much longer. Give it a few days, if things have not settled, please call your doctor.
Cheek swelling after restylane
It's normal to see some swelling and bruising after filler injections. You can ice the area to help swelling decrease. Once the swelling is down, it's important to make sure that both cheeks are fairly symmetric. Remember, no one is perfectly summetric so the 2 sides will be slightly different.
I Just Had Restylane on Both Cheeks and Only One Side of my Face is Swollen. Normal?
Yes, swelling can be one sided and does not occur evenly or symmetrically with fillers like Restylane or plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures.

Asymmetry after Restylane.
Hi Windy. Not very many patients are completely symmetrical. But if your face was relatively symmetrical before the injections then it's very possible to have had more swelling one one side than another. Typically we see bruising more often than swelling with Restylane, but it depends on the injection technique and the amount of product used.
We have our patients come to a 2 week checkup after their initial visit just to make sure everything turned out as we both expected. Give your injector a call and schedule a checkup for something around the 2 week mark. Good luck.

Asymmetry can occur after injection of fillers. This could be due to baseline asymmetry prior to injection, swelling, bruising, or a need for additional filler injection. You should see your doctor about this to rule out the unlikely possibility of a problem. Most of the time this is not a significant issue.
Assuming it turns out not to be due to a significant issue before you speak with the doctor you should decide which side you like better. If you like the larger side better you may want to treat this by having additional filler placed in the smaller side. If you have significant pre-existing asymmetry it may not be possible to achieve complete symmetry. Most people have some asymmetry.

Winnellie black-out unrelated to Casuarina substation: Power and Water
Power and Water says there is a black-out in a small section of Winnellie in Darwin.
A short time ago about 400 homes were without power in Ludmilla, the Narrows and parts of Stuart Park.
Power and Water says its now restored power to 95 per cent of the affected area.
It says the black-out has nothing to do with the problems at the Casuarina sub-station.

I just got home from the Pacific Northwest Dental Conference and it was fantastic! I was so worried a few years ago when we learned that WSDA was forced out of the Seattle Convention Center. If you remember, it was because Microsoft wanted our dates. They got them because their meeting sold more hotel rooms. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise.
Our PNDC Committee is lead by Dr. Robin Henderson, and includes Drs. C.R.Anderegg Jr., Dennis Bradshaw, John Darling, Mark Kadoshima, Jeanine McDonald, and Joseph Luchini. Our WSDA staff was lead by the amazing Amanda Tran, and includes Craig Mathews and Katie Olson. The team wasted no time worrying and got straight to work. It wasn't easy, and they really worked hard to create the "new" PNDC.
The conference was split between the Hyatt Hotel and the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. I was surprised that both venues felt so much more intimate than Seattle. I think we actually fit better in Bellevue. Instead of seeing my friends in passing on all those elevators, I got to see them in the hallways. It felt more like going to class at dental school!
I booked a room at the Hyatt. How easy is that? I could drop off my loot, take a quick break, and go out for more. Riding the shuttle was easy. I only had a few minutes wait. Many of the over 6,000 attendees commented that Bellevue was much cleaner, nicer and easier to drive to. I found I was not as exhausted at the end of a busy convention. I stayed around Friday night for dinner with friends, so even the commute home was easy.
I always speaker host, so my lunch is provided. (Hint, hint.) There are so many really great restaurants. I saw many people going to lunch and a enjoying a little shopping together.
Our Thursday night Welcome Reception was terrific. We gave away three large HDTVs and all kinds of gift certificates.
But aren't we supposed to be here for the continuing education? Yes! This year we added a special Thursday evening session. That allowed us to offer as many as 16.5 hours of continuing education. Those sessions were so successful that we will do the same next year!
This year more people attended workshops than years previously. Several of the workshops sold out. As always, the speakers were outstanding. I like the mix of national and local speakers. We have amazing talent in this state — our Emerald City Lecture Series was very well attended and had very good feedback.
We have received very good feedback from our exhibitors and attendees about the exhibits. There were fewer exhibits, and they were more focused on dentistry. Everyone seemed pleased about that. The free coffee stands outside the exhibit hall were also a huge success.
Drs. Lou Ann Mercier, Robin Henderson and I had fun picking up nice bottles of wine from the Washington Oral Health Foundation's "Wall of Wine." Proceeds go towards purchasing more than 2,500 oral hygiene kits for children who need them across the state.
At the Academy of General Dentistry booth I met Eric Statler, an oral cancer survivor and advocate for oral cancer awareness. His enthusiasm is contagious. We discussed the recent news focus on oral cancer and oral sex. He is not a dentist but has a wealth of information. Well done, AGD!
We expected glitches our first year and there were some. Now that we are more familiar with the layout, we will be able to fit speakers to rooms better, as some rooms were too small for some speakers, and for others, too large. Remember, it is better to come early and get a seat because it is hard for us to determine speaker popularity. We are already working on communication and signage. We want better Internet connectivity so we can tell you when a room changes or a class is full. We are even working on reducing the size of coffee lines because we want you alert and happy. We are currently sorting through your comment sheets to make next year even better.
My friend Lou Ann Mericer said it best - "Reconnecting with friends from the past made the meeting more than just CE. To think, in the hall at the PNDC was the last time I spoke with Terry (Grubb). It still gives me pause. I think the meeting is about supporting our organization and our colleagues — friends really — that give of their time to put this show on. It's about the connections we make in life, especially friendships, that matter, not the location of meetings! It truly was a wonderful experience."
I couldn't agree more!

Tree Shade and Energy Savings: An Empirical Study
Trees cast shade on homes and buildings, lowering the inside temperatures and thus reducing demand for power to cool these buildings during hot times of the year. Drawing from a large sample of residences in Auburn, Alabama, we develop a statistical model that produces specific estimates of the electricity savings generated by shade-producing trees in a suburban environment. This empirical model links residential energy consumption to hedonic characteristics of the structures, characteristics and behaviors of the occupants, and the extent, density, and timing of shade cast on the structures. Our estimates suggest that if an additional 10 percent of the 125 million home owners in America started using tree shade to reduce electricity consumption an average of 10 kwh/day for 100 days per year, the annual amount of electricity conserved would be approximately 12,500 thousand megawatts. At the 2007 average residential price of electricity ($0.1065/kwh), this would save each household an estimated $106/year and $1.3 billion in the aggregate. Moreover, the electricity saved would represent approximately one-third of the electricity produced annually in the U.S. by wind power.

Patriots fans would have been green with envy if they had seen Danny Woodhead suit up with the Jets once again. Luckily for New Englanders, San Diego stole the undersized running back away.
The Jets were in serious discussions to bring Woodhead back to New York, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. The Patriots were also interested in re-signing the third-down back, but the Chargers' "agressive pitch" stole him away.
Woodhead signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2008. He spent two seasons with the organization before getting cut one game into the 2010 season after becoming a star on HBO's series Hard Knocks.
Woodhead's best pro season came in 2010 with the Patriots when he had 97 carries for 547 yards and five touchdowns and 34 receptions for 379 yards and one touchdown through the air. Last season, Woodhead caught 40 passes for 446 yards and three touchdowns while adding 76 carries for 301 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.

It's been an extremely stressful few weeks in our house and because of that weight loss and blogging has kinda taken a back burner. You may have noticed that I skipped my Nutrisystem weigh-in last week and I apologize for that! Unfortunately sometimes life just gets in the way!
Two weeks ago I was so close to my next milestone and I thought for sure I would have made it by now but all of this stress has set me back. You see, everyone manages stress in their own way and my way just happens to be eating! Now I know I should go for fruits or veggies but I always manage to go for the unhealthy stuff and because of that I managed to gain close to 2 pounds last week (UGH!).
Well, it's a new week and although the stress on the homefront hasn't exactly subsided yet I have decided that I'm not going to let it stop me! I buckled down and managed to get back to the same exact weight I was 2 weeks ago at my weigh-in... Still so close to that 20 pound mark and I am determined to reach it by next week!
So my question for you, my lovely readers, is how do you manage stress? Do you stock up on healthy stuff for those unwanted eating binges? Do you go for a run? How do you manage to stay on track when life gets in your way?
Starting weight: 184
Week #16 weigh-in: 164.2
Week #18 weigh-in: 164.2
Total lost this week: 0
Total lost overall: 19.8 pounds
