Latest News
So we have hit a bit of a lull over the past two months as you can probably tell. August meeting was really low attendance and September was a non-event since I largely have been out of town and so have a lot of the other co-leads. Nonetheless, get ready to resume meetings. Next one is Oct 27th at the Tilted Kilt @ Cumberland. Make a note and check out details in the Chapter Meetings page below.

Information in the Land Register of Quebec (Registre Foncier du Québec) has been largely untapped by genealogists. Sharon Callaghan recently authored two articles in Connections, the quarterly journal of the Quebec Family History Society—vol. 30, no. 3 (2008) and vol. 31, no. 1 (2009). Sharon penetrated, for family historians, the complexities of the province's rather unique history of land ownership and methods of accessing the documentation.
The Quebec Family History Society was formed in 1977 and I've been a member of QFHS since early days (no. 273). Sharon and fellow member Gary Schroder decided to work out some "real life" examples of land registry tracing. My ancestor John Fraser the farmer became a guinea pig. Not my John Fraser the blacksmith. John the farmer had lived on the River Rouge Road outside St Andrews, Quebec (St-André Est) since 1806.
In order to keep this post to a readable length, I'm merely introducing the Land Register of Quebec. It's a learning exercise for me, because it's not a particularly easy subject to follow. My Fraser news and documentation, some of it still to come, will have to wait until Part 9.
How would a family historian find the history of occupancy and transactions on an individual property in the province of Quebec? To compare, most of my experience is with historical Ontario land records (say pre-1950). Once you know the name of a rural township with a concession and lot number, you consult the abstract index to deeds for that property. The abstract index is a short-form outline of all registered transactions on that piece of land dating from its original Crown land patent (title deed). Created in county and district land registry offices, southern Ontario abstract indexes were microfilmed by the Genealogical Society of Utah in the 1960s. Thus, they can be viewed at LDS Family History Centers, at the Archives of Ontario in Toronto, or at various smaller archives with selected film copies. Urban properties established in old town plans or subdivisions require somewhat more effort to trace back from a modern address.
Quebec, on the other hand, has a history of French seigneurial land grants, abolished in 1854, which overlapped with the English township land division dating from the 1760s. The present Quebec cadastral system evolved with new surveys from the 1860s and completed in the 1890s. The surveys had to take existing properties into account, but allocated new numbers for them within each cadastre or district.
The key is to identify the relevant cadastre (current land division) of the ancestral residence, and then sleuth with maps, surveys, directories, atlases, and every other possible source to determine a cadastral number for urban or rural land. Municipal offices can assist with if you know a street address.
Cadastral numbers are not the same as previous lot numbers, if indeed there had been a prior lot number. Armed with this special number and presenting yourself at the appropriate land registry office, you'll be able to access the land register for the relevant property (similar to the abstract indexes mentioned above). The references (actes) in the register can include deeds, surveys, wills, and other notarial records going back to the lot's cadastral establishment. One lot may require searching more than one number. The land registers began in the 1830s as land offices were set up. Sharon rightly celebrates that this is another way to find genealogically-rich but often elusive notarial documents.
An alternative, if you've found the required number(s), is to use the fee-based online database leading to the land register ... if you feel comfortable with the French language. The actes have now been digitized as far back as the oldest cadastre system. You can order a copy of any act from the register no matter its date. See full information on the Natural Resources website.
Before I even fully grasp the handle of this newly opened door, I'm asking, what about pre-1830 records? Ahhh ... think seigneurial document collections! ... a different ball game. The possibilities expand.

I'm gushing with joy and gratitude. One year ago my partner and I took possession of our home on Bowen Island and Nectar Yoga B&B was born.
We have met hundreds of people in the past year from all over the world. Thank you to all my students, you are my teachers. You show me the light and teach me all I need to know.
Here are some things I've learned this year:
Be Happy
If you are not happy, make a change, maybe a really big change
All your dreams are possible but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy
Follow your intuition and base all your life choices on it, if you don't know what intuition feels like, be still
If you have trouble sleeping, come to my house and I'll put you to work, hard manual labour will have you sleeping like a baby
Everyone on this planet needs space to reflect and breathe
Not everyone is as clean as I am
Talk a walk in nature, you'll feel better
Find a partner who has your back, who helps you to accelerate on your spiritual path, who gets you!
If you're not with that person, let them go, find your soul mate, they are waiting…
This too shall pass, everything is always changing
It's not what is happening to you, it's how you move through it
The energy you put out is the energy you get back, action/reaction
Life is truly beautiful, even when its cold and raining
Find stillness, breathe, refill
Eat amazing food and love every bite (even full gluten, full sugar, full fat chocolate cake – love it!)
Don't get too caught up in perfecting your diet, your body, your appearance, your yoga practice, just be a damn good person
Surround yourself with people who are vibrating at your frequency
Be real – be the actual person you portray on Facebook
Find community, if you can't find it, create it
Making money has nothing to do with success, real success is soul to soul connection
Our body is impermanent, at any moment it could be gone, so live the life of your dreams
Say yes to every good opportunity, unless it sacrifices balance
Heal your past, forgive, mostly yourself, then everyone else
You are beautiful, you are uniquely you, no one can replicate that
See beauty in the diversity, not difference
Judging is different than noticing the reality as it is
If you have knowledge that will heal others share it, it's potency accelerates when you share
Be selfless
Find the lessons and the blessings in all of your life experiences
I love island life, I love small community, I love sharing in other's healing process, I love small details
Swim in the sea, swim in the lake, just swim, there is a deep stillness in the water
A true Yogi is someone who speaks kind and softly, who shares all they have, who sees the connection of all beings, I hope to one day be a Yogi
You are deeply wise, no truth is outside of you, it's all within
Surround yourself with good people, but also lots of animals, they have so much wisdom and love
Go for it, today is the day, tomorrow may never come, you can do it!!
Most of all…Be Happy
These are not cliches or cute quotes I found on the internet, these are the REAL lessons I have learned this year. Thank you to the love of my life, my forever partner, without his amazing dedication and deep wisdom, this life would be the same. Thank you to all our guests and your beautiful comments, feedback, wisdom, and energy, this has made Nectar Yoga B&B so amazing.

As my last three posts have mentioned, last weekend I created a 4th of July themed party for TheDaily. Here is the completed video. It was so beautifully shot and produced by their team- thanks to Beryl Shereshewsky and Kyle Walling!

4th of July Table Setting, Red White & Blue Ice Cream Cake, & Star Spangled Sangria
Last week, TheDaily.com came to my house to shoot a video for a 4th of July video. I created this "Star-Spangled 4th of July Party" complete with a Red, White and Blueberry Ice Cream Cake, baskets of berries, a Help Yourself Bar with Star-Spangled Sangria. For the behind the scenes scoop, visit this blog post. To watch the video they beautifully produced, click here!
Here is the complete table with the Red, White & Blueberry Ice Cream Cake as the centerpiece.
I set the table (yes, that is my farm table that is usually on my sun porch) in our back yard under a big tree.
Here is the Help Yourself Bar featuring Star-Spangled Sangria with Mason Jar glasses. Here is a link to the DIY instructions for setting up this bar and easy patio decorations.
I made the stars for the sangria out of a red apple cut with a cookie cutter... it really couldn't have been easier. Here is the recipe for the Star-Spangled Sangria.
As you can see, I used navy tin plates that had a shiny silver edge - great for outdoor entertaining. Down the table I used mason jars filled with rock salt and flags for a little height and festivity.
On the table I tucked baskets of blueberries, cherries and strawberries amongst the flags for a seasonal touch... and who doesn't love an edible centerpiece.
Speaking of edible centerpieces...
This ice cream cake is three layers with strawberry and blueberry soaked cake inside- it truly is red, white and blue. And delicious. And easy. Here is the recipe! Watch the video for the step-by-step instructions!

4th of July Video Shoot for TheDaily.com | Behind the Scenes
Last week we had some visitors in Concord. A team from TheDaily.com came out to do a 4th of July shoot - my first video shoot. The video posts tomorrow (Thursday) morning - I'll share a link as soon as it is up! UPDATE : here is the link to the video!
The table was set with flags and berries in baskets... I set the scene and they brought their equipment to film. Here are all of my props before we set the table. Everything was shot step-by-step.
Jealous of their fancy lenses. Of course, I talked the photographer's ear off about photography...
...anything for some free photog lessons, right? It was great just to watch him and take notes.
The blueberries are ready... almost a little too ready as they were baking in the hot sun we had last week.
In my kitchen, they filmed me making a Red White & Blue 4th of July Ice Cream Cake... it looked a lot different in there than it does when it is just me and my camera on a little tripod. Now I know why the Barefoot Contessa built a barn!
Emma's first shoot- she's a natural.
Visit here to see the beautiful video they created and all of the details from the Star-Spangled 4th of July Party.

Tastes of Summer : 4th of July Menu Idea | Ribs, Grilled Sweet Corn, Cucumbers, Garden Tomatoes Watermelon Margarita & Peach Crostata
In just a couple of days we'll be on our way back to Kansas City for the 4th of July. Last year we didn't make it home for the 4th and while we had a great time watching the famed Boston Fireworks display, I hated hearing about the festivities back home. I told Mike that we would absolutely be going back for the 4th this year. I can't wait to spend the 4th of July out in the country at my parents' house for a casual day by the pool with the entire family. There will be mountains of food, kids in the pool and my Brother and my Dad setting off a fireworks display that night (another benefit of celebrating in the country is that you can have your own display).
When I talked to my Mom, she already had the menu planned- most of it either from their garden, their field or one of their friends' gardens or fields. Even the ribs would be from a local butcher and prepared by a family friend. This menu is similar to what we'll having. I think it sums up all of the best of summer - BBQ, sweet corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, peaches & watermelon.
The BEST (& easiest) Barbeque Ribs
Grilled Sweet Corn on the Cob
Sliced Garden Tomatoes
Old Fashioned Cucumber Salad

Very Berry Tart | Blueberry Blackberry Raspberry Shortbread Crust Tart
Very Berry Tart
Blueberry, Blackberry & Raspberry
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 egg yolk
1 cup of blueberries
1 cup of blackberries
1 cup of raspberries
1/4 cup of sugar
Topping (not pictured)
Whipped Cream or Ice Cream
For the crust, combine flour and brown sugar in the mixing bowl. Cut cold butter into small pieces. Add it to the flour mixture. With the whisk attachment mix the butter into the flour and sugar. The whisk will help to "cut" the butter into the dry ingredients. When it is crumbly, add egg yolk. Mix together. Press the mixture into a tart shell. The mixture will be crumbly and loose.
Option 1 : Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees until brown. Cool and pile with fresh berries (no sugar needed). Serve with Ice Cream or Whipped Cream.
Option 2 : Pile berries into the uncooked crust. Sprinkle sugar over the berries. Cook for 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes until the edges and the berries begin to bubble slightly. Serve warm with Ice Cream or Whipped Cream.
The crumbly mixture. The whisk will help to cut the butter into the flour and sugar.
With your fingers, press the crumbs into the tart pan. You can also use a pie plate.
Add the berries on top of the crust. I used blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, but you could use strawberries, peaches, plums... whatever you have.
Out of the oven - doesn't it look good?! I love that there is not anything on the berries (but a little sugar) to hide their flavors. The crust is like a crumbly, sandy shortbread cookie.

Grilled Steaks with Pineapple, Zucchini, Mushroom Kebabs
The Chimichuri Sauce atop our Grilled Flank Steaks was a big hit at our house, which was surprising as I am one of those that do not like cilantro (supposedly) and Mike has a pronounced distaste for parsley (and cilantro, for that matter). When my Mom was in town last week I used the leftover sauce as a marinade for our vegetable & pineapple kebabs that accompanied grilled ribeye steaks & classic baked potatoes. The combination of the spicy, herb & lime juice sauce was amazing combined with the sweet pineapple on the grill- really special.
Grilled Pineapple & Vegetable Kebabs
marinated in Chimichurri Sauce
1 large zucchini, halved and sliced
1 pint of mushrooms
1 red onion, quartered
1/2 pineapple, 1-inch cubes
Chimichurri Sauce
8 bamboo skewers
Soak the bambook skewers in water for 10 minutes or more to keep them from burning on the grill.
Place all of the vegetables and pineapple pieces in a large bowl. Add chimichurri sauce and toss, coating each piece. Thread the vegetables and pineapple onto a bamboo skewers, alternating them as you go.
Grill them for about 4 minutes on each side until they begin to cook thru and soften. You can brush extra sauce on as you go for even more flavor.

Emma & The Outer Banks of North Carolina
As a child, before our first summer vacation to the beach, we asked my Mom over and over again to tell us all about the ocean and the beach.
I can remember her telling us about how magical it is to feel the sand between your toes.
She described how soft the sand is compared to that in our sandbox...
and how the waves would come in to tickle your feet.
She said there is nothing quite like a day at the beach.
I don't think I'll ever get over waking up to the sound of the ocean outside my window...
...the way the sea air feels on my face,
Or going to sleep with the sound of crashing waves.

Thomas Rhett Raises $50,000 for Charities in Nashville
Thomas Rhett had a busy week. He performed his new single, 'Get Me Some of That' on the ACAs, dropped a brand new music video for the same song and raised big bucks for charities with a show in Nashville.
Rhett got in the holiday spirit by performing a benefit show for two Nashville charities this week. The money went to The Caleb Wilson Foundation and attendees also brought hundreds of gifts that went straight to the Middle Tennessee chapter of Toys for Tots.
The sold-out show included Rhett performing his huge hit, 'It Goes Like This,' along with his brand new single and other songs from his debut album. Rhett also sang an acoustic version of 'Round Here,' a song he wrote and Florida Georgia Line made a No. 1 hit.
The brand new toys for Toys for Tots were taken to the local charity and when attendees brought them in, they earned themselves a signed photograph from Rhett. For more tour dates where you can see the 'Something to Do With My Hands' singer, visit his website.

Under the Consumer Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977, federally insured banks in the United States are required to meet the credit needs of the entire community in which they serve -- including low- and moderate-income community members -- through the use of safe and sound banking operations.
CRA evaluations are meant to ensure financial institutions are meeting these expectations.
The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) oversee evaluations of state-chartered financial institutions. Evaluations for national banks are handled by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
Regulators follow one of three evaluation plans based on the institution's size, including: large banks with $1.25 billion in assets (investment test, lending test and service test); intermediate banks with at least $313 million in assets but less than $1.25 billion (lending test and community development test); and small banks for institutions with less than $313 million in assets (streamlined lending test).
At a financial institution's request, regulators will alternatively offer evaluations based on community development (business strategy) for wholesale and limited purpose banks; and strategic plans (open to any bank).

William Penn is shown at center with the Delaware Indians at the time of the Treaty of Shackamaxon. This treaty formalized the purchase of land in Pennsylvania and cemented an amicable relationship between the Quakers and the Indians for almost a hundred years. This scene was that last one on which Constantino Brumidi worked.
The frieze in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol contains a painted panorama depicting significant events in American history. Thomas U. Walter's 1859 cross-section drawing of the new dome (constructed 1855-1863) shows a recessed belt atop the Rotunda walls with relief sculpture. Eventually it was painted in true fresco, a difficult and exacting technique in which the pigments are applied directly onto wet plaster. As the plaster cures the colors become part of the wall. Consequently, each section of plaster must be painted the day it is laid. The frieze is painted in grisaille, a monochrome of whites and browns that resembles sculpture. It measures 8 feet 4 inches in height and approximately 300 feet in circumference. It starts 58 feet above the floor.
The frieze is the work of three artists, Constantino Brumidi, Filippo Costaggini and Allyn Cox. It was designed by Brumidi, an Italian artist who studied in Rome before emigrating to America. Brumidi created a sketch for the Rotunda frieze in 1859 but was not authorized to begin work until 1877.

Do you engage in a sport? Many of our sponsors find creative ways to combine their favorite activities and help raise awareness of sponsorship at the same time.For example, Rob Grant, a CFCA sponsor, is a longtime marathon runner and runs in honor of Jursha, his sponsored friend in India, and others sponsored through CFCA.
Rob has participated in marathons in Miami, the Twin Cities and Cleveland. He's planning to run in the Fort Lauderdale Marathon on Feb. 19, 2012. He hopes to offer any medals he receives to his friend, Jursha.
Thank you, Rob, for all your efforts on behalf of children, youth and the aging waiting for a sponsor. And thanks to all of you who share your enthusiasm about CFCAís Hope for a Family sponsorship program.
If you're interested in seeing how you can spread the word about sponsorship through activities you're passionate about, we'd love to hear from you. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Assembly Speaker John Perez drew headlines this week over his request for public records from Vernon, the tiny Los Angeles city he's seeking to eliminate.
The response by Vernon, a place dogged by reports of corruption and its own clannishness, was ridiculous: it demanded $200,000 as a deposit for producing the records. Such a demand is legally questionable, and all too common as a way to avoid compliance with public records laws. As a reporter, many a public official responded to my legitimate records requests by demanding all kinds of money for "search" or "copy" costs.
But there's another side of the story that reports on Perez's request missed. And it's this: any legislator rising to high dungeon about public records is a bit of a hypocrite. That's because the legislature has gone to great lengths to exempt itself from the public records laws that govern much of the rest of state government, as well as California local governments.
Most strikingly, Prop 59, the 2004 ballot measure that has been the strongest boost to public records recently, specifically exempted the legislature from its provisions. Perhaps that's because it was the legislature that put it on the ballot. So I'm glad to see Speaker Perez pursuing public records so fervently. I'd only ask that he apply some of that energy to himself and his institution.

BIC vs. LRT and singularity
Mplus Discussion
Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
posted on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 - 2:30 am
I am using both BIC and LRT to help me decide the number of latent classes in a GMM, following the Nylund paper.
2 63157.780 0.2544
3 62329.038 0.2567
4 61835.977 0.6700
5 61649.647 0.0112
6 61488.656 0.6649
7 61460.095 0.0002
8 61476.898 0.2398
2 60697.091 0.0000
3 60413.812 0.0000
4 59599.679 0.1862
5 59518.102 0.0188
6 59237.200 0.0000
7 (singularity)
According to the BIC information, this suggests a six-class solution for males. LRT seems to suggest either 5 or 6 classes, because the p value dips twice.
However, in females I see no dip in the BIC values. LRT suggests a 5-class solution, but I encounter problems at 7 classes (e.g. singularity) so I have not been able to check LRT yet here.
I have two questions:
1. Are the low p values for 2 and 3 classes in females meaningful i.e. might they be suggesting 3 classes, or is there some other reason why they are very low?
2. If there are empty cells resulting from binary variables which cause singularity at 7 classes, is there a way to find out which binary variables are causing the problem? When I look for the parameters which Mplus has fixed, they do not appear in the parameter specification.
I should also say that all of the solutions so far are meaningful and interpretable.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, August 26, 2009 - 12:13 pm
For males, the LRM-LRT suggests one class. For females it suggests three classes. BIC does not seem to be helpful here.
You can use TECH10 to assess model fit by looking at the univeriate, bivariate, and response pattern residuals.
posted on Thursday, August 27, 2009 - 3:25 am
I see, meaning that support is found for k classes when there is a low p value for k-1 compared to high p value in the k+1 run.
However, I do not understand why 1 class is sufficient for males. Wouldn't 5 or 7 be suggested according to this criterion?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, August 27, 2009 - 6:46 am
The p-value for the two class solution is .25 indicating that a one-class solution should be chosen. You look for the first instance of a p-value greater than .05 and select the solution with one less class.
posted on Monday, September 21, 2009 - 9:37 am
In the context of LC modeling, can the BIC value be used to distinguish between model specifications (in addition to different numbers of classes)? For example, in a situation where one is uncertain as to whether models using a censored distribution are more or less appropriate than those with a linear, continuous distribution, could their respective BIC values be used as one information point for assessing their differences?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 - 10:42 am
The BIC's for continuous and censored are not on the same scale and cannot be compared. Following are the technical reasons which I quote:
"For BIC to be comparable the models have to have the same domain (i.e.
plausible values) for the dependent variables. This is not the case for continuous v.s. censored.
There is a second requirement for BIC to be comparable which is a bit more complicated - all the points with positive mass have to be the same, which is also not the same."

Tag: Flash Bo-Dash
My Name Is Flash Bo-Dash & I'm a Roller Derby…holic.
In the words of Nike "Just do it"!
Hi, my name is Flash Bo-Dash and I'm a Roller derby girl and recovering procrastinator.
My last Blog was for Roller Derby UK in June 2013 and I am (still) a Roller Derby holic.
There, I've done it. Broken the seal, dipped my toe in the water, started my journey again into the world of blogging, journalism or what I like to call it, brain dumping for whoever wants to read it!
In the past I've written for the guys here at Roller Derby UK about popping my first bout cherry, Derby Sponges, Gummy worm mouthguards and an array of interesting facts that I'd picked up on my journey into the world of Derby from a Rookies perspective. This came in the form of 20 or so blogs which started over a year ago (that … Read More »
Derby Sponges, A Music Video, New Sparkly Skates & Playing Roller Derby With The Best Of The Best!
Oh Boy!!!!! What a Month! This one has been crammed full of Derby goodness with me right in the middle of it lapping every second up. Sometimes I do feel like my everyday life is no longer separate from my Derby life as it's being gradually sucked into a big Derby sponge! Sometimes I need to squeeze that sponge out though and take a step back as it's easy to suddenly wake up and realise you haven't seen non Derby related friends for ages, or worn anything other than Dri-fit and team colours!
I had the perfect opportunity to change this one Sunday at the end of April. I was carrying on as usual when I was introduced to the possibility of being in a music video which was being shot locally! The band, The Computers, were taking over a … Read More »
Sunshine, A Win, New Skates, Dangle Derby and A New Team Sponsor! A Good Derby Month All In All!
Hard to start a blog when it's so Sunny outside! I have been massively sidetracked with important stuff and some not so important stuff today, but thought I would just start typing and see where it goes!
I guess one of the biggest things since we spoke last was that my team S.W.A.T (South West Angels Of Terror) played in and won the final of The South West League.
Wiltshire, Dorset, Plymouth, Kernow and us have been playing against each other in double header bouts since October last year to see who would be crowned the best team in The South West League, for the years 12/13. So far we hadn't lost a game, so spirits were high and on 6th April this year we took the title and the lovely trophy that had been made to mark the occasion!

Roller Derby Hits The Papers Big Time & S.W.A.T Makes News Stands Around The World!
Last Weekend was magic! In fact the whole week was a whirl of fast paced Derby goodness with a humongous chunk of PR frivolity chucked in!
Are we sitting comfortably? Then I will begin:..It started when we had a very special phone call at SWAT headquarters from non other than The Sun newspaper ! We had been chosen (thanks to some help from Roller Derby UK) to feature in a double page spread about the sport we all love! Football, I mean ROLLER DERBY!!!!!
What an honor! Now we knew we'd been working hard on and off the track, but to be noticed by a national paper wasn't something that happens every day! The buzz started to vibrate round our PR minds.What would they focus on? Would it portray Derby under the light it should be, a serious, hard, … Read More »
Sometimes you have to just start! – My first blog for a while, but it's crammed with lots of Roller Derby goodness!
Well I didn't think that would happen!
Writers block, laziness, busyness, business, not knowing what to say, knowing what to say and not wanting to? For whatever reason my blog history now has a massive gaping hole in it!
This is my first blog since January.
I've started to write it in my head many times but never put fingers to keys and actually done it! So much has happened, almost too much and I think that has actually stopped me writing it as the enormity of the task, how to cram it all in, just got too big! The thing is, for you the readers, reading a novel of a blog would have been as much of a chore as me writing it so today, I've just got myself into gear and just started typing! What will be will be (and hopefully … Read More »
Jam Packed, Jammer packed, Pack Is Here! Yes Derby Filled To The Brim!!!
Well hi there! Long time no read!
I haven't written a blog since New Years Eve!!!! I try and write one a week but my life has been jam packed! (Jam packed, jammer packed pack is here! Yes Derby filled to the brim!)
We've all been training hard since the return from our Xmas break. We've been pushed, pulled,squashed,hit,crunched and all manner of moves that have raised our cardio and agility on the track (plus I think we all wanted to work off some of the boxes of chocolates we consumed over the Xmas period!)
Seems others have been discovering the benefits of the Derby Workout too! ABC News picked up on it on Good morning America. Check out this link to see their reporter in action! Our training sesh's are somewhat a bit more extreme but that's why we LOVE it!

2012 The Year Derby Found Me. 2013 To Infinity & Beyond!
Well this is fun. Writing straight out of my brain again and throwing my thoughts right onto the keys!
It's New Years Eve and I am in a bit of a panic (like every New Year) but MEGA excited as it's the time of year in my Shire that EVERYONE dresses up in Fancy Dress. The only day where I look normal! You may know by now that it's one of my guilty pleasures, fancy dress and over the years I have ecrued a number of outfits from Wonder Woman to Medusa, Vampire Nurse to Captain of a ship! I always make the excuse that it can be worn next year, but next year comes and inevitably I want to create something new to wear/someone to be for the night!
Pulling all this back to Derby as of course that is … Read More »
Well what's been happening…WHAT'S NOT BEEN HAPPENING!!!!! WooooAAAAAAAgggHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Well what's been happening…or rather should I say WHAT'S NOT BEEN HAPPENING!!!!! WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! WOOOOO YAY!!!
Last Saturday, 15th December 2012, S.W.A.T took on the very lovely Plymouth City Roller Girls. This was my second bout playing for The South West Angels Of Terror. I was uber excited but the run up was slightly rocky with issues surrounding the Sports Hall and if we could actually play. These I am glad to say were ironed out by Bout Day so the game was on!…and what a game it was.
We all left early, bright eyed and bushy tailed (not really but it sounds good!) and met for the travel down to Bournemouth which was to take us about 2.5hrs on mostly B roads! Do you know what though, I didn't even notice as we were all on top form and laughed most of … Read More »
Derek The Deer & A Magical Unicorn Share Dash's Derby Life This Week!
Well what a week! I was so busy even the blog missed it's normal Friday slot! It's a crazy time for us photographers this time of year and I have mostly been shooting kids in Xmas hats with my trusty fluffy assistant, Derek the Deer!
Fear not though, I'm sat in my Xmas jumper and sage green Xmas treeified skinny jeans all Christmassed up writing blog no.19 , (yes 19!!!!!) for you now. I have the hat on as my boiler has broken (again) so I have no hot water OR heating! I guess it makes it feel a lot more wintry which may add to the Xmasy feel I guess! Trying to see the positive but to be honest, after getting home from training this week and discovering I had no hot water, wasn't funny, at all! … Read More »
Knees Are Very Important In Life! (& For Roller Derby)
So did we get to training last weekend??? Noooooooo is the sad sad answer.The floods were just too bad and it was touch and go whether we would make it back …..without a boat (or someone with a batman car) so 'The Topsham Massive' as we are collectively called in our car share, made a very grown up decision to stay in bed! Ha ha well not quite but we all were in out PJs I think when we were discussing it over the tinternet in the warm (I won't tell you what time of day it was!)
As it happened it was the right thing to do as the rain came in hard just after training and my town was cut off from the rest of the world completely! Quite exciting really but it didn't help matters though when I … Read More »

Royal Tour
In July 2011, Canada welcomed Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as they embarked on their first overseas tour as a married couple. The royal tour took place from June 30 to July 8, 2011 and included Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and the National Capital Region. As part of the royal tour, the Duke and Duchess visited Prince Edward Island on July 3 and 4.
The public portion of the Royal tour began with an event at Province House National Historic site at 10am on July 4th. Their Royal Highnesses greeted the public on Great George Street where The Duke of Cambridge presented remarks. Their Royal Highnesses then proceeded down Great George Street by state landau escorted by Mounted RCMP and viewed a performance by Confederation Centre Young Company at Confederation Landing Park.
Later that day, Their Royal Highnesses attended an event at Dalvay-by-the-Sea which included a waterbird emergency landing exercise with the Department of National Defence, a dragon boat race featuring Stanley Cup champ Adam McQuaid, and cultural performances by Aboriginal, Acadian and Celtic groups.
They finished off their day in Prince Edward Island in Summerside with an on-water search and rescue demonstration by the Canadian Coast Guard and departed from Summerside Airport destined for Yellowknife.
Prince William & Kate's top travel destinations
Top five travel destinations of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in their first year of marriage - Toronto Sun (April 2, 2012)
As William and Kate prepare to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, their stop on PEI was seleted as a top five travel destinations of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in their first year of marriage.
While the July 2011 Canadian tour of Prince William and Kate began in Ottawa, it was in Prince Edward Island that the couple really relaxed and showed off their true personalities during the events of the day. They joked with each other while competing in a dragon boat race, embraced Canada's First Nations culture during a traditional Mi'kmaq smudging ceremony and devoured lobsters and clams on the beach. Prince William also captivated the crowds with a helicopter 'water bird' landing emergency exercise.

Greenpeace activists on the streets of Taipei and at the Chiang Kai-Shek memorial hall wear hazmat suits and hold banners and placards bearing messages related to nuclear disaster. We are urging Taiwan to stop the construction of Nuclear Power Plant Four and opt for a more sustainable future. This year we also published the report "Who is Responsible for Nuclear Disasters?". The report provides a global study on nuclear liability laws and compensation. According to the report, the compensation by the Taiwan state-owned operator, Taipower Co. (USD $140 million) is the lowest among developed countries.

|We're still sorting out the suspension options on our Third Generation 4Runner.
Sorting out something as simple as a trail-ready suspension for the third-generation 4Runner could have been simple once upon a time, but so was the first Jeep – not so easy anymore. With innovation and experimentation comes advancement, and with that then the bloody knuckles of choice and compatibility. The more choices there are, the more there are to make. We're still making them.
|Need spring and shock answers? We've tested a few.
Easy Fix for Stale Rear Springs
Getting a bit of business out of the way, we dealt with the soggy rear springs that soured our last coverage of this third-gen 4Runner trail-build. From all the research (some of which we're going to keep to ourselves to avoid discoloring our collective karma here at off-road.com), it came down to a rotten set of springs. No conclusion will be drawn about how they went bad. Bad metal? Bad design? Bad outsourcing? Bad seller? They could have been a spring for a different Toyota altogether, one of the pitfalls of using used gear – you're never quite sure if it's kosher.
|Bad springs at ride-height shown above. Below are the OME 890s new that we installed.
Whatever the why, we had problems with these collapsed coils. They would collect each other at full compression,
which was happening way too often. On our trip to Colorado for the 4Runner Jamboree, a couple hundred pounds of gear put the coils in full contact over and over again, inspiring a new level of aggravation that didn't square with our Colorado state of mind.
We must say that the dude who sold us the foul springs went above the call of duty to replace them. He had a set of used Old Man Emu 890s that had also been on his 4Runner at one time (the "A" spring goes on the driver's side!), and he cancelled their sale to another 4Runnerer so he could trade them out for the failed springs he'd shipped us. The word of the day here might be "caution": without retail recourse or the backing of a manufacturer, even something as simple as a set of springs can become a sticky wicket. Buying things on the Web, from the boards, or from folks you know only by their screen name and avatar has an increased potential for complication.
You only need to unbolt the anti-roll bar and play leverage games with the rear axle to install rear springs. These 890s seem well matched to the TRD Tundra units in front, and the Bilsteins collect it all nicely. We also picked up about 1.5 inches over the bad rear springs, which had, at best, offered about an inch lift, so the '97 4Runner now sits over two inches up in the rear, close to 2.5 inches. The rear FJ80-based Bilsteins seem to like that setting. The front end now needs of a top-out spacer to level things (and a matching diff-drop), so we gave All-Pro a call – coming soon.
Oversights: Front Suspension Stuff We've Learned
First off, the amount of information out there for third-gen 4Runner lifts is ridiculous. Let's get that straight. What we give you here is just scratching the surface, and we have five full pages of notes that couldn't possibly fit in this story. How about the highlights? You like highlights.
|At the top, our 4Runner lifted with rotten rear springs, but we subbed them out for the 890s (bottom).
|Our front spring & shock combo – TRD Tundra yellow/yellow & blue/yellows with Bilstein adjustable-perch 5100s. Awesome combo – we'll top-out soon.
In front, the combinations range from desert-style coilovers, spacers within and without the coil-pack (either on top of the top-hat or below it), OEM-based spring & shock swaps, aftermarket springs for the Toyota shocks, all sorts of aftermarket shock and spring combinations, plus modified suspensions, A-arms and a host of other nut and bolt adaptations of the double-A front end. First real rule? Do your research so you're not surprised by the results. Somebody has probably already tried what you're thinking about doing. A pseudo rule we developed during our research is that some vendors aren't friendly while others are. If you like being treated like you're spending money, find a local shop that's willing to do a little hand-holding and has built some good Toyotas in the past. Crucial: don't put up with jerks, because it's your money.
A few themes for the front stick out for functionality and good rep. The Tundra-based spring and shock array has dozens of ways to execute, and it's an honest bolt-on. Using different springs (check the markings, which can be cross-referenced to which Tundra those springs came on) can lift the 4Runner from one to almost two inches, with specific behavior for each spring depending on the truck it was spec'd for. You can buy the parts for the swap from a junkyard if you're feeling inexpensive, thought we used new springs from Toyota's parts department (should'a done that out back, too), and new shocks from a company familiar with the Tundra: Bilstein.
|Exotic alternatives exist, like the Total Chaos long-travel kit.
The ARB/Old Man Emu selection of front springs work well, are made well, and have a reputation for reliability. OME products are targeted to the expedition crowd, so they work with an ass-high stance. There is a rumble here and there about OMEs and how they settle a little over time, but if you know it's going to happen, that sounds like reliable behavior … A darling facet of the OME product line is their matching shocks, which give you the option of running a fully thunk suspension kit from front to rear.
Regarding the sandy folks, we toyed with the Sway-Away coilovers for the front end briefly, but their rep for killer function in the sand and big fast stuff was countered by reports that they were too stiff for tight slow-motion trail pounding. Most folks in SoCal have to choose between sand and rock, so the long-travel units are popular, but that stiffness (nice on-road, apparently) is not as rock-friendly. Total Chaos also builds a popular long-travel front suspension for the 4Runner (and other sexy parts), though anecdotal evidence was scarce of its capacity for rocks.
Limitations to front-end mods are the villain of the third-gen 4Runner, especially for the four-by trucks. Shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive means the front half-shafts are always turning, and more than two-inches of lift will necessitate either manual hubs or that you start considering a solid-axle swap. The simplistic diff-drop – a set of well-placed spacers that cock the front diff at a more workable angle, adds the "safe" IFS lift to about three inches. Also, more droop means improving pivot points and adding straps, and larger tires mean alterations to the upper A-arm.
|With plenty of lift, this 4Runner still runs without a dropped front diff.
Vague Answers to Rear Suspension Questions
This 4Runner's rear suspension presents a murkier picture – more options and variations, easier adaptation of crossbred parts, and few clear answers. Buy a whole kit from an outfit like Old Man Emu, and your combination front to rear is already spec'd out by the builder. That also means you have to buy into the manufacturer's theories about ride and suspension action, which for OME usually includes a stiffer front suspension coupled with taller rear springs that are designed for heavy outback-style excursion gear. It works, but it's not everyone's cup of tea.
|Longer FJ80 spring (top) vs. an aftermarket 2-inch rear spring (bottom).
Where the OME brand has elevated its value for a lot of the rock guys is in their wide range of springs rates – you can pick and choose to match the rest of your suspension. In our case, we used the TRD Tundra/Bilstein OEM-based combo up front, and we followed that up with OME 890s in back next to another set of Bilsteins. In the rear, it is important to match shock travel to suspension travel – we used a set of Bilsteins made for the rear of an FJ80 'Cruiser.
Multiple aftermarket springs can be had for the 4Runner beyond the OME option (which we include as an example), but opinion varies widely on function. We're cautious to rep one way or another beyond referring to statements lifted from the boards, because the rear suspension seems to be very subjective. Running an amp and subs? Carry tools? Heavy spare? Wearing a cage? Limited or SR5? All this stuff has altered individual results with these products, so once again, your research is essential – find folks who are wearing the parts you're interested in. Spacers have been used in the rear, too, but without using a shock that matches the new increased travel range of springs plus spacer, you'll be topping out quickly. Long-travel is a near non-op, unless you plan to run hoops into the cabin, so high-speed desert performance is a big project at the least.
One of the delights of the rear 4Runner suspension is how quickly you can swap springs in and out, making experimentation a breeze. Other types of rear springs we've got in mind? The Land Cruiser (FJ80) front spring has been popular with the OEM (not OME – original equipment, manufacturer) swappers, but a number of variants of the OEM FJ80 front springs are available. With the right FJ80 front spring, though, you can have a cushy rear spring for the gen-three 4Runner that lifts the body three inches more than stock, and is reputed to function well in the rocks (though it's squishy on the street, and you need to make brake line and anti-roll bar adjustments). Choices mean choices – with a plus three-inch spring in the rear, you'll need a 2.5-inch lift in front to keep from looking weird, then a diff-drop kit to keep your front half-shafts intact.
We have just started listing the discoveries from this process – stay tuned, or email us a request for 411 you'd like to see. Not yet begun is the second stage of proper suspension coverage. This will involve a process of diagnosis, use and abuse, all in an effort to see how well the basic spring and shock alterations now in place react to trail use and abuse. This gen-three 4Runner trail-build is answering your questions as we go, just wait.
|With images from the Web and WabFab Off-Road, you can see several takes on the 3-inch lift combo. The black on black 4Runner (top) has 3-inch springs with 2-inch body pucks. The middle photos, the green on black, has 2.5-inch OME springs with 1.5-inch spacers. The bottom photo, the green on grey, has Tundra in front, spaced, with JZ80 springs in back, and a heavy front bumper.

Chandella Powell is a human being, and we all make mistakes. She was involved in some risque photo shoots in her past, some softcore porn stuff that surfaced on the Net recently. There was much speculation that she'd gotten fired from the UFC because of that, based on her absense from the UFC on Fuel show last week. However, it appears that Chandella will once again grace the Octagon at UFC in Japan later this month.
On her Twitter account, Chandella apologized for her raunchy photo spread:
"When you are young, you often don't realize that your actions have consequences. I made a bad decision about ten years ago, but you learn from these moments. There is nothing I can do to change the past, and believe me, if I could, I would. That decision doesn't represent who I am today. All I can do now is put the past behind me and move forward. I am sorry to disappoint any of my fans and my family at Zuffa. I love you guys :)"
So there you have it. Now we can all put this behind us, in a way that won't be captured on film. Chandella also thanked her many fans for the support:
"Thank you to everyone for all of the love I have received. It is overwhelming to think about all of the supporters I have."
Now, on to more important things, like Brittney Palmer's Playboy shoot. Ciao.

The weather has been Spring-y again and I must say, I could not
be happier! I went all around town yesterday in these vintage shorts
from Calico. They have been hiding in my closet for about a week
due to the colder weather, but yesterday they really had their
time to shine! As most of you know I am a floral dress fanatic,
so these floral shorts were definitely the perfect twist to my go-to
In other news... I finally found a place in Philadelphia! It is right
in the heart of the city. Meaning I will be minutes away from a
Starbucks and H&M. Definitely a good thing and a bad thing! Haha
Anyways I hope you all have had a lovely weekend! Enjoy your
Sunday... for me I know it is definitely going to be a lazy one.

Interpreting standardized thresholds
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling
Jim Prisciandaro
posted on Sunday, May 09, 2010 - 11:18 pm
I was wondering how one interprets the values of standardized thresholds (i.e., makes a descriptive statement about a given threshold). I would specifically like to be able to interpret them in terms of probability and/or in relation to item difficulty parameters in IRT.
For this example, I'm estimating a bifactor model with MLR. The thresholds I'm looking at are in the stdyx section.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Monday, May 10, 2010 - 8:02 am
The raw thresholds are used to compute probabilities and for translation to IRT parameters. See the IRT technical information on the website. Computing probabilities is described in Chapter 14.
Jim Prisciandaro
posted on Monday, May 10, 2010 - 10:27 am
Hi Linda,
I'm afraid I'm going to need a little more handholding here.
I looked at the resources you suggested. In terms of the IRT technical information, all I saw was how thresholds are parameterized in IRT when there is a single factor. Does this generalize to the case where there is 1 general factor and 3 specific factors (i.e., bifactor model). If so, where in my output would I find the parameters mentioned in the formula (formula 19, page 5, MPlusIRT1.pdf); I'm afraid I don't know what parameters the symbols are referring to in general?
In terms of chapter 14, is the information I am looking for in "calculating probabilities from logistic regression coefficients" (p. 441)? I also noticed the section on pp. 412-413 ("latent class indicators") might be relevant; but I am looking for probabilities corresponding to threshold values, not descriptive explanations for the thresholds (I'm guessing the descriptives are referring to unstandardized thresholds, but I'm not sure).
A general question: can I get the information I am looking for using standardized thresholds or can I only use unstandardized thresholds? Do the standardized thresholds have any inherent meaning?
A worked through example would be tremendously helpful, but any guidance is appreciated.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 - 9:52 am
The formulas can be generalized. Lambda are factor loadings. Tau are thresholds. Psi are the variances and covariances of the factors. Alpha are the factor means.
Yes, you should look at calculating probabilities from logistic regression coefficients. It shows how to compute probabilities using information from the output.
You should use the unstandardized thresholds. The standardized thresholds are not useful. Note that thresholds and intercepts differ only by their sign.

To help understand your response I searched through the forum some more and found Bengt's comment from 10/09:
"when you run Mplus with the factor standardized to zero mean and unit variance, a comparison of (1) and (2) gives
(3) a_j = lambda_j/D,
(4) b_jk = tau_jk/lambda_j"
and Tom's comment from 10/2008:
"The MPLUS loadings under MLR were the same as those estimated by multi-log. To get the thresholds, the transformation is MPLUS Threshold/factor loading=Multi-log threshold."
I am working with a bifactor model using MLR, does the standardized output set the factor mean to zero and the variance to 1 as per Bengt's comment?
It appears from these above comments that it is unnecessary to incorporate information regarding factor means, variances and covariances (tech4) when translating MPlus factor loadings and thresholds into discrimination and difficulty parameters; that is that one can translate these parameters just using the loadings and thresholds in the standard output. Am I mistaken?
Jim Prisciandaro
posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 2:57 pm
(continued from above)....
1) Is the loading for a given item in Mplus the same as the IRT discrimination parameter for that item as Tom suggests? If so, is it the unstandardized or the standardized loading that is the same as the discrimination parameter in IRT?
2) Bengt suggested we have to divide by 1.7 to obtain the discrimination parameter whereas Tom suggested we do not. Should we divide the loading by 1.7 or not to obtain the discrimination parameter?
3) Is threshold minus loading (i.e., threshold-loading) for a given item in Mplus equal to the difficulty parameter for that item in IRT? If so, is it unstandardized threshold - unstandardized loading or standardized threshold - standardized loading.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Saturday, May 15, 2010 - 8:10 am
Slides 93 and 94 of the Topic 2 course handout gives the formulas and shows how they relate to Mplus. I think these should answer your questions.
Jim Prisciandaro
posted on Saturday, May 15, 2010 - 9:31 am
Thanks Linda,
1) My understanding now is that if I explicitly set the factor means to 0 and the factor variances to 1 in my input, I can use the simplified formulas Bengt provided above using unstandardized output.
2) If instead I freely estimate the factor means and variances, I have to apply the formulas that include Psi and Alpha on the unstandardized output (and obtain that info via Tech4).
Is my understanding correct on points 1 and 2 above?
3) If I'm understanding these points correctly, my final point of confusion is that you noted that Psi represents both factor variances and covariances. How then do I obtain a single number for Psi (variances and covariances) to plug into the formula to obtain the difficulty parameter for a given item?
Thank you for your patience,
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Sunday, May 16, 2010 - 10:08 am
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Ask for TECH4 in the output command. The variances are on the diagonal and the covariances are on the off-diagonal.
Jim Prisciandaro
posted on Sunday, May 16, 2010 - 1:30 pm
Thanks Linda,
Almost there...
1) Regarding point 3, my question was: the formula for the difficulty parameter calls for calculation of the square root of psi, but psi isn't a single number, right?
2) Are we supposed to calculate the square root of the psi matrix (the matrix of variances and covariances) for that formula?
3) If yes, is it possible to calculate the square root of psi in mplus?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Monday, May 17, 2010 - 9:58 am
With one factor, psi is a single number, the variance of the factor. I think you are best off freeing all factor loadings and fixing the factor variance to one. Then you don't have to deal with psi. This parametrization is the one used most often in IRT.
Jim Prisciandaro
posted on Monday, May 17, 2010 - 11:13 am
This makes sense. As a final checking in:
1) If I fixed the variances of the factors to 1, my formulas would be:
a_j = lambda_j/D
b_jk = tau_jk-(lambda_j*alpha)/lambda_j
2) If I fixed the variances of the factors to 1 AND the means of the factors to 0, my formulas would be:
a_j = lambda_j/D,
b_jk = tau_jk/lambda_j
3) And I would use the unstandardized output for all of these transformations, right?
Another very important question to me:
4) If one compares a model with a) factor variances freely estimated and the loading of the first item per factor constrained to "1" and b) the same model with factor variances set to "1" and all loadings freely estimated, would the fit of these 2 models (and AIC/BIC) be identical to one another or could they be different?
Thanks again,
Jim Prisciandaro
posted on Monday, May 17, 2010 - 11:20 am
Sorry to put this on a separate post, but I was just doing further reading of the forum and:
5) Does Mplus automatically fix the factor means to "0"?
6) If so, then if I manually fix the factor variances to 1, the formulas I use should be:
a_j = lambda_j/D,
b_jk = tau_jk/lambda_j
because the factor means are "0" by default, right?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 - 9:02 am
Yes. This all sounds correct.

Welcome Home Frenchy!
3 comments:
I love Francoeur. This year when he got off to such a good start with the hitting I was hoping that he developed that disciplined eye which would make all the difference in his career. He took pitches; went deeper in counts and even took a pitch the other way now and then. Then he reverted. What a shame.ReplyDelete
Sadly, Francoeur always forgets why he's been successful for stretches. But the pitchers don't forget he swings at everything and anything, especially on the first pitch. By all accounts he's a good guy and it was a nice moment for him, but he shouldn't be starting on any team that has championship aspirations. Then again, Mets ownership doesn't seem to have those aspirations so I guess it's fitting he's the right fielder.ReplyDelete
It's true what you both say. I think Frenchy is one of the nicest people I've ever watched play the game. it is too bad his talent level doesn't match his personality level. I do wish him the best and I'm very happy for his successes however few or small they may be. But....ya' neva' know. Maybe he can come up big. Ya' neva' know. Ya' gotta believe!ReplyDelete

cort brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 9 Designs von 6 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Existing website selling eco-friendly infant & childrens clothing needs fresher, more professional look.
Baby Bambu http://www.babybambu.com
Looking for new home page and sub page/product page concepts, incorporating our existing logo (font & image). Our current site just doesn't work - looks too amateurish. We are focusing our sales through the web site and we need to make a better impression with our customers - something that's visually appealing, easy to navigate and conveys the sense of quality and style we want our products to be known for.
We are a young business trying to raise awareness of bamboo as an eco-friendly fabric. The owners are a former CTO and an Account Dir. for a pharma ad agency - we're hoping to be able to make Baby Bambu our full-time gig.
- Item 1...use existing logo (font & image)
- tagline: green on the inside, soft all over
- we like the color palette of the current site but are open to considering other optons (but like the green)
- fresh, upbeat, cute but sophisticated, traditional w/a modern twist asthetic; Dwell meets Restoration Hardware - even though it's children's clothing we want to appeal to the Mom's and friends that are seeking out and buying eco-friendly products
- not cliche with the use of bamboo - seems over used, we think the logo is probably enough of a nod to the plant?
- ability to scale product categories; basics, hand knits, accessories, etc.
- needs to work within the Volusion eCommerce platform (header, left nav, footer, main body of content) see http://www.volusion.com for other sites/examples - if anyone has any suggestions and/or experience w/other ecommerce platforms that may be more flexible, pls. let us know
- assumes designer is familiar with/integrates SEO & SEM best practices in to design
- other sites we like: http://www.sagebabynyc.com, http://www.bambuknits.com (a placeholder site of ours)
- Ideally, we would like two concepts - one that incorporates the 'bubble' border as seen on this link
- We do not want a modified generic template look - put some thought into our products and client base. We need to differentiate our look

Ellis getting up to speed after knee surgery
Earl Bloom is a contributor to MLB.com.
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis, just 10 days removed from left knee surgery, resumed hitting, throwing and catching on the recent road trip.
"I can do everything, baseball-wise, except run," Ellis said Friday, "and that's not a big part of my game."
He's had similar surgery on the knee before but said the rehab process is different.
"It's a little more accelerated this time, because it was in the offseason [after the 2012 season] the last time," Ellis said. "The biggest thing is, I felt so much better when I woke up the morning after surgery, and it's all been good since."

The objective of this service is to provide parents with an understanding of their child's disorder and facilitate the development of a Service Plan for families who reside in Toronto that focuses on the needs of their child and the priorities of their family.
Central to this process is the opportunity to normalize some of their reactions to the shock of learning about their child's difficulties, reassuring them that there are other parents who have experienced the same reactions and that there are positive steps they can take to address their child's developmental needs.
Through phone and face to face contacts, a parent orientation session and written reports, parents are supported in their efforts to regain balance in their life and in parenting a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
