Eva Birth Services - Homebirth & More
My name is Bridget Pelkey Bragg. I'm a certified professional midwife and the very blessed mom of six children. I serve a radius around Gloucester, VA including Richmond and the Hampton Roads area. (If you have questions about whether you're in that radius, please contact me!) I offer prenatal care in your home as well as a specialty in water birth for those who desire that option. As well as midwife clients, I also accept a limited number of doula clients and teach HypnoBirthing and natural childbirth classes. Past clients have remarked on my serene nature as well as a willingness to listen and cater your birth to -you-. I do not come in with any agenda, instead you get someone willing to enthusiastically support your desires and make your birthing everything you desire.
I believe there are a few key elements missing from pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting today. Time, respect, and consciousness. I believe that time is required to really listen and get to know the other person. This is why I highly encourage my clients to call me with their concerns or to linger after class if they need to discuss something privately. For my homebirth clients, your prenatal visits are as long (or short!) as you need them to be. We will work together.
Whether it is 3pm or 3am, I want to be available to help. Respect is a necessity, respecting another's choices as -her- choices is vital. It is your birth, not mine. I do not force my beliefs upon anyone. I respect a mother's (and father's!) instincts too much to assume my way is the only way. Plus, having experienced a variety of births myself I know there are sometimes unexpected situations that arise.
Conscious pregnancy is so important. Recognizing the mother's needs as well as the baby's needs (inside and out of the womb). It's not selfish to spend time on self-improvement, it's good mothering! For some this is learning how to carve 15 minutes out of their day for relaxation. For another, it is learning new cooking methods to add green vegetables into her diet. Pregnancy is a fantastic time for growth and I urge all moms to take advantage of it.
Please contact me today so we can set up your initial consultation.

Image social sharing is the new cultural norm of the modern-day digicam or smartphone toting individual. It's not much of a shocker given the massively increasing number of Instragram or Tumblr users snapping their 'selfies' (even the word itself was invented and included in Oxford dictionary) or 'food porn' and sharing them online for public consumption.
Polaroid has long been the classic inspiration of these image social sharing applications with the option to choose from a variety of lomo filters and borders, giving a quaint image some extra oomph. Once started as a simple design concept to a crowd sourced campaign, the company finally launches a brand new camera called Socialmatic during the International 2014 CES.
The Socialmatic might look (replicating the original 1960s Polaroid design) and work like a typical Polaroid classic, but its social sharing capabilities amongst other innovative functionalities set it apart from the rest of the camera industry players who also made some announcements during the show.
The Android-ran camera belts a whopping 14 megapixel front-facing camera that can capture high-res images, and a 2 megapixel rear-facing camera with a 4.5 inch touch display screen that make snapping selfies as well as viewing and managing images effortless. It has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth so you can share pictures to any device, social media networks and other image sharing accounts right away. QR codes are embedded on every image which makes reprinting photos and tracking them across the web possible.
It's not a Polaroid camera if it couldn't print images on the spot. Socialmatic uses a 2 x 3 inch sticker-backed Zink photo paper that allows inkless printing. It might be a bit costly for $0.40 to $0.50 per print using Zink paper, which comes in packs of 20, 50 and 100. The camera is equipped with 4GB of internal storage which can be expanded via the micro SD slot.
The price is currently pegged at $299, and will be out later this year. More details can be found at http://www.social-matic.com.

The colours of each carpet look different depending on the side from which you look at it. You can see the carpet from different perspectives in the images below:
(click on the images below for greater detail)
Gabbeh Carpets : Gabbeh in Farsi means natural, primitive. Carpets and textiles with this name are woven by the nomads Qashqai who roam about, or in villages in Southwestern Iran where they live. The yarns are processed and twisted by hand, painted with herbal colors and woven with a wool warp up to 2 cm thick. These carpets are simple, with few designs, or monochrome. The simple, linear designs with animals and human figures give them a contemporary look. Various names are given to Gabbeh carpets such as Basic, Amalehbaft, Kashkooli, Luribaft and Sumak. Gabbeh Kashkooli is a carpet with high knot density and thinner than ordinary Persian Gabbeh carpets. The Persian Gabbeh is very durable and its quality is very good.
Bakhtiari Carpets : In the mountains Zagros, west of the city of Isfahan, around the town of Shahr-e-Kurd, live the nomads Bakhtiar. Their carpets are known for the design with various repeating squares in which flowers and animals are depicted. For this reason the design is called "garden"(Khesti). Their carpets are very durable with a dense weave and very good quality Persian wool coming from sheep grazing at a high altitude. The best Bakhtiar rugs and carpets with highest knot density are often called Bibibaff. Also in many designs we see influences from Isfahan carpets. (Boldaji - Feridan - Saman).
Nomadic carpets: Carpets woven by nomads. Nomads move continuously and do not stay permanently in one geographic region. They manufacture (weave) handmade carpets on collapsible looms. Due to that fact there may be slight variations in weaving and their carpets are sometimes uneven in shape. Also the weaving is made from memory and it depends on each artisans momentary inspiration. As a result, the designs in some carpets are not even on the entire surface.
Horizontal or vertical shading in the carpet pile: The shading is due to folding the carpet during transportation. When the carpet is laid and stepped-on they will vanish. Examples
Abrash: Due to the different amount of grease in the wool and the added salt during the process of dyeing, the wool has got a varying colour absorbance. This is not very visible before weaving. During the weaving though, lines of the same colour are formed in the carpet. This is called Abrash (which in Farsi means little cloud) and it shows that the wool was not manufactured using chemical means and marks the naturalness and authenticity of the carpets. Examples
Main Category
You have to choose at least two (2) carpets!
You can select up to six (6) carpets to compare!

Ride In 12/14
The wilds prove neither woolly nor wild and the ride itself was quite mundane. I barely even had to fend off any animals, the exception being a lone squirrel that I didn't so much have to fend off but simply ride around. I'm writing a letter to the editor of my local paper about these scofflaw squirrels who think that they're being "sooo green" with their lifestyle choices but never seem to stop at stop signs. Share the road, jerks.
There's a kind of Bikeshare commuter who dons the reflective yellow jacket and biking clothes and there's another kind that doesn't. I'd say this is "observational humor" but there's nothing humorous about this observation and it's barely even an observation. I just hope that the people who wear the bikey stuff are doing it out of comfort and not because they feel like specialized (Specialized?) clothes are needed to ride a bicycle.
There's a thing that I've started doing along Pennsylvania Avenue that I need to stop doing because it's sort of jerkish and needlessly imperiling and that thing is slowing down to almost a snail's pace in order to block a driver from making a u-turn across the center bike lane. I do this while simultaneously trying to lock eyes with the driver. I've not once made that Robert DeNiro from "Meet the Parents" move with the eyes and the fingers. Like I said, I need to stop doing this. So long as there aren't bollards that run parallel to the lane for its entire length, u-turns will continue to happen and no amount of passive-aggressive eye-locking and slowing with make a difference. Having more cyclists in the lanes might help.
Someone mentioned this the other night to me, but Timbuk2 bags are everywhere. Almost as ubiquitous as the yellow jackets.
Some kind of sercurity hubbub at the White House, maybe related to a motorcade, shut down Pennsylvania Avenue and Lafayette Park and forced bicyclists to ride along 15th to McPherson "Won't Someone Think of the Grass Seed?!" Park. It's a reminder of a cycle track route that could have been, but wasn't. I guess Vermont is ultimately a better route, but I still would prefer a cycling route that doesn't need to be closed every time the President wants to drive somewhere. #dcproblems
The rest of the ride was a bit of a blur, not because I was going fast, but because I don't think there was anything that distinguished it from a normal trip, or at least nothing worth mentioning. So, as has become standard for this blog, let's talk about buttons some more. Thus far, 53 have been purchased, which is amazing. It's more than amazing. It's a-mah-zing. I'd like to thank Ann for mentioning them on the WABA bike forum and I'd like to thank Anne for posting on the goDCgo holiday gift guide. I have an entirely Ann/Anne-based marketing strategy, so if you know of any Anns/Annes/Ahns/Ayns that want to continue to publicize these buttons, please send them my way. I'd also like to thank all of you, even the non-Anns/Annes, for your continued reading, support, and button purchases. I look forward to seeing some of you at the WABA Holiday Party and seeing others of you at other places and not seeing those of you who have magical invisibility cloaks.

If passive-aggressive eye-locking and slowing on the PA Ave cycletracks is wrong, I don't want to be right.ReplyDelete
It sure beats coming to a complete stop in front of a cab, which I tried, and it got me yelled at by both the cabbie and his passenger. I've recently found that throwing a hand up in a "WTF?" gesture has been getting me apologetic nods or waves, which is an improvement.
I had that EXACT same thought about the grass in the OccupyDC/McPherson Park. Witty things I thought: "OccupyDC has killed the grass in McPherson Park. Would've guessed they were PRO-grass ..."ReplyDelete

Eric's Morning Forecast February 18
Spring is right around the corner, and we have a spring-like wind forecast over the next several days with breezy to windy conditions expected every day right on through the upcoming weekend.
Today's west and northwest breezy conditions are associated with a cold front moving through, and as a result you can expect temperatures to run 5-15 degrees cooler than yesterday's mild numbers.
Skies will stay dry though with a little cloud cover moving across the northeast part of the state.
A big storm is headed for the state, and as it approaches tomorrow an afternoon breeze will develop out of the south that could get up into the 15-25 gust to 30+ range.
On Wednesday there will be snow moving into the west and northwest parts of the state by morning, and it will track across the state west to east through the day while throwing down some very strong winds, especially over southern New Mexico where winds could end up being strong enough to hit the damage threshold at 60 mph!
Accumulating snow will mainly stay over western and northern New Mexico with this storm, and as we head into Thursday there will still be some leftover snow showers over these same areas as colder air moves in, and this will be another day with persistent breezes.
The weather pattern will stay active into the weekend with a dry system coming through on Friday kicking up more windy conditions, and then on Sunday we could see another legit snowstorm moving in with more wind, cold and accumulating snow.
Stay tuned!

First, create a simple leaf shape on your coffee filter. To create variety, I created some different sizes of leaves too. Cut out the leaf and place it on layers of newspaper so the markers or water won't soak through to your table!
Now color the leaf shape with water based Fall color markers like brown , red, orange, and yellow. We made patches of colors rather than just one color. You can leave a little white showing.
Here is an example of one leaf that C did. Some were colored with smaller patches of color too.
After coloring, make sure the leaf is placed on the layers of newspaper and spray with a mist over the leaf to make the colors run. Don't put too much water or the colors will fade away too much! (C loves this process!)
After the leaves were dry, we used metallic markers to add veins to our leaves. Adding the veins gave the leaves a finishing touch that they needed!

Auto-repair shop's goal: To make cars better than new
Shop's goal: To make cars better than new
BROOKFIELD -- It may have taken years of hard work, determination and nearly every penny he had, but Ramon Soto Rodriguez's dream of owning his own collision-repair shop has become a reality.
Rodriguez, 26, whose passion for perfection is evident by the cleanliness of his shop, opened New Age Collision on Federal Road near Brookfield's Four Corners in July, a state-of-the-art facility with some of the latest equipment that can repair anything from a ding in a bumper to a complete restoration.
"There were a lot of bumps along the road, but I feel very privileged and blessed to have gotten this far," Rodriguez said. "I want to provide a shop where people can feel comfortable and get quality work. When their cars leave our shop, I want them to look better than when they came from the factory."
The entrepreneur graduated from Henry Abbott Technical School in 2006 before earning an associate's degree in business from Penn State's College of Technology. Since then, Rodriguez has been building his experience in the field by working in several area shops.
David Santagate, a former auto-collision supervisor with Mercedes-Benz of Danbury, said Rodriguez does amazing work.
"He was really one of our primary repair guys until we opened our own shop a few years ago," he said. "Our work has to be up to a higher level of standard because of our product line and we expect as close to perfection as we can get. Ramon's work was outstanding. We never had any problems or complaints."
Santagate said he remembered a car that was brought in after a tree had fallen on the roof came from the dealership to Rodriguez to repair.
"The car was in perfect condition," Santagate said. "He really did an amazing job."
Rodriguez said opening the shop near the Four Corners was no accident. He hopes to become part of the redevelopment effort in the neighborhood.
"There aren't a lot of collision-repair shops in Brookfield, and I wanted to give people from Danbury a reason to come here," he said. "I believe this area has a great future. We just need to build momentum."
Rodriguez said he has had more than a dozen cars roll into the shop in the first month. Some of the customers came to him because of his reputation and knowledge of his work, while others found the new shop through its social media campaigns, he said.
"I never got into this business to get rich," he said. "All I want is to make a decent living, pay my bills and do quality work for our customers."
Santagate said he has no doubt Rodriguez will succeed.
"He's got a good future ahead of him," he said.

"The Twilight Saga" star Jackson Rathbone may not have much screen time in the series' next film, "New Moon," but he'll make up for it in 2010's "Eclipse," the actor told MTV News.
The movie will feature an extensive flashback on the past of Jackson's character, Jasper Hale, who became a vampire during the Civil War.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: New Faces In Twilight's 'Eclipse' Cast
"It was just really fantastic to get to delve in there and to get to don all the Civil War regalia and whatnot. That was a pleasure," Jackson told MTV News. "I had to wear this wool suit of a major, cavalry major. I got the big hat and everything. Hop off the horse, bow to these ladies, and then I get eaten. And then I get turned!"
And the star's big role features a bunch of stunts – and time as a "bad dude."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: See The Men Of 'Twilight' - Shirtless!
"I got to go back into my old roots, got to ride some horses again, which was nice. Got to put these riding boots to use, which is good," he said, explaining, "I actually can ride a horse."
The actor, who had fight training from his role in "The Last Airbender," was also able to put his work in hand-to-hand combat and weapon fighting to use in "Eclipse."
"[Jasper was a] bad vampire," Jackson said of his character's beginnings as a trainer of newborn vampires – knowledge he must use to help the Cullens prepare to fend off Victoria's (Bryce Dallas Howard) newborn vampire army.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: New Shots Of The Volturi And 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' Scenes & Stars
However, the dangerous role had one silver lining – it gave him the chance to share the screen with Bella (Kristen Stewart).
"It's actually the first time Bella and Jasper interact that's longer than one sentence, or me attacking her," Jackson laughed. "Kristen and I kept saying it was really nice to get to work together because we had never had a chance to really, kind of, like, get into some dialogue."
"Eclipse" is due in theaters in May 2010, with "New Moon" arriving on November 20.

3rd Time Was A CharmThe boys were back after their only misfire on "Pop". (Sorry)! Elevation , Kite, Beautiful Day, it was brilliant! My sisters friend Amber got to dance around the heart stage on Mysterious Ways.( she was in red leather pants).
03 April, 2010
Glitter, Stars , and StripesTook my daughter to her first U2 concert. "With or Without You" was a "stellar" performance ( first time I'd seen it with the ceiling projections). The heartshaped ramp in the front led to great interaction. During Elevation, some people in the crowd threw some glitter at Bono. He then leaned into the glitter cloud and later commented "I thought you didn't like the glitter". I also remember seeing the American flag inspired lining of his jacket. It was around that time he was on the cover of Time (?) wearing it.

In the first two articles of this series, I wrote about what welcome pages are and how they are helping products improve user experience by connecting the dots, after which I wrote about the WordPress Transients API that I intend to use while building the welcome page.
Coding a welcome page for your WordPress plugin can be a tricky process. The entire concept revolves around redirecting users to a particular page via setting transients and finally deleting them. Let's start building the welcome page.
I am going to build a welcome page boilerplate for WordPress in the form of a plugin that could be used within your WordPress product. The final form of this plugin is hosted at GitHub at WP-Welcome-Page-Boilerplate-For-TutsPlus.
At this point, I'm assuming that you have the following set up:
I'm going to create a simple plugin that displays a welcome page when a user installs and activates the plugin. Let's discuss the plugin architecture:
You can view the following screenshot to verify the architecture.
The plugin works in the following way:
Let's commence our discussion with the contents of the base file, which is
wp-welcome-page-boilerplate.php. Here is the complete code:
<?php /** * Plugin Name: WP Welcome Page Boilerplate * Plugin URI: http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/building-a-welcome-page-for-your-wordpress-product-introduction--cms-26013 * Description: Welcome page boilerplate for WordPress plugins. * Version: 1.0.0 * Author: mrahmadawais, WPTie * Author URI: http://AhmadAwais.com/ * License: GPL-3.0+ * License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html * Domain Path: /lang * Text Domain: WPW */ if ( ! defined( 'WPINC' ) ) { die; }
The PHPDoc header section of the plugin tells WordPress that a file is a plugin. The defined parameters tell how the data is handled. At a minimum, a header can contain just a Plugin Name, but several pieces can—and usually should—be included. You can read about the header requirements in the WordPress Plugin Developer Handbook.
The next set of code performs a security check. If anyone tries to access this file directly, it runs the
ABSPATH check, which terminates the script if accessed from outside WordPress.
After that, the code looks like this:
// Plugin version. if ( ! defined( 'WPW_VERSION' ) ) { define( 'WPW_VERSION', '1.0.0' ); } // Plugin folder name. if ( ! defined( 'WPW_NAME' ) ) { define( 'WPW_NAME', trim( dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ), '/' ) ); } // Plugin directory, including the folder. if ( ! defined( 'WPW_DIR' ) ) { define( 'WPW_DIR', WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . WPW_NAME ); } // Plugin url, including the folder. if ( ! defined( 'WPW_URL' ) ) { define( 'WPW_URL', WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/' . WPW_NAME ); } // Plugin root file. if ( ! defined( 'WPW_PLUGIN_FILE' ) ) { define( 'WPW_PLUGIN_FILE', __FILE__ ); }
I have defined a few global constants which define details about the plugin's version, root folder, URL, and the plugin's main file.
Each of these contains an
if( ! defined() ) statement, which helps avoid any errors due to the redefinition of a global constant. I recommend defining the global constants with your package name as a prefix. The package name in this plugin is
WPW, i.e. WordPress Welcome. So, every constant has a prefix of
The defined plugin constants are:
WPW_VERSION: Plugin Version
WPW_NAME: Plugin Folder Name
WPW_DIR: Plugin Directory
WPW_URL: Plugin URL
WPW_PLUGIN_FILE: Plugin Root File
Once all these constants are defined, we'll begin with the contents of our welcome file.
Finally, I required the welcome initializer and the welcome logic.
if ( file_exists( WPW_DIR . '/welcome/welcome-init.php' ) ) { require_once( WPW_DIR . '/welcome/welcome-init.php' ); } if ( file_exists( WPW_DIR . '/welcome/welcome-logic.php' ) ) { require_once( WPW_DIR . '/welcome/welcome-logic.php' ); }
I like keeping my code minimal, precise, and well documented. So, instead of adding every code block in a single file, I prefer making individual files, each with one purpose only. That is why we have an initializer file which will initialize everything related to the welcome page.
require_once() statement requires the
welcome-init.php file, but before requiring a file, I always check it with the
file_exists() PHP function to avoid any fatal errors in case the file gets deleted.
The same principles apply for the welcome logic, which we'll get to later in the next part of the series.
You can check the final code of the
wp-welcome-page-boilerplate.php file on GitHub.
To manage all the welcome page related files, I created a separate folder named welcome and added a
welcome-init.php file. The entire code of this file controls the initialization of the welcome page.
Let's study the complete code of this file:
<?php /** * Welcome Page Init * * Welcome page initializer. * * @since 1.0.0 */ if ( ! defined( 'WPINC' ) ) { die; } /** * Activates the welcome page. * * Adds transient to manage the welcome page. * * @since 1.0.0 */ function wpw_welcome_activate() { // Transient max age is 60 seconds. set_transient( '_welcome_redirect_wpw', true, 60 ); } register_activation_hook( WPW_PLUGIN_FILE, 'wpw_welcome_activate' ); /** * Deactivates welcome page * * Deletes the welcome page transient. * * @since 1.0.0 */ function wpw_welcome_deactivate() { delete_transient( '_welcome_redirect_wpw' ); } register_deactivation_hook( WPW_PLUGIN_FILE, 'wpw_welcome_deactivate' );
The code begins with inline documentation about the file and an
ABSPATH check. Now I needed a way to add and delete the transient when the plugin is activated and deactivated respectively.
Luckily, WordPress provides us with two hooks for this exact purpose.
register_activation_hook( string $file, callable $function ): This hook is fired when the plugin gets activated. It takes the plugin's main $file and a callable $function as parameters.
register_deactivation_hook( string $file, callable $function ): This hook is fired when the plugin gets deactivated. It takes the plugin main $file and a callable $function as parameters.
So, now we need to make use of these hooks. I created a transient for the welcome page. The
set_transient() function is called inside the custom
wpw_welcome_activate() function. In the previous article, we learned that the
set operation takes a key, value and an expiration time as its parameters.
Therefore, the key
_welcome_redirect_wpw is set to a value
true for
60 seconds. This defines the maximum age after which the transient expires.
Next is the activation hook, and as we know this hook runs only when a plugin is activated. It adds our transient to the database. Once the transient is in the database, it means we can check it and redirect the user to our welcome page. How to redirect the user? That's what we will study in the next article.
After that, I wrote the code which runs upon deactivation of the plugin. We want a functionality where the transient gets deleted when a user deactivates the plugin. To do so, I called the
delete_transient() function, which takes the key
_welcome_redirect_wpw as its parameter. Then there is the
wpw_welcome_deactivate() function, which is added to the plugin deactivation hook.
This part is optional, but I want my users to see the welcome page whenever they activate the plugin. If you don't, you can most definitely ignore the deletion of your transient.
So far, I have discussed the part of the code which is necessary to create and delete a transient. But the code for welcome logic is still missing, which would redirect the users to the welcome page. We'll tackle that next.
This is it for today. So, we are halfway through. The base file and the initializer for our welcome page are ready. Now we need to create the logic and view files, which is the plan for the next article.
Finally, you can catch all of my courses and tutorials on my profile page, and you can follow me on my blog and/or reach out on Twitter @mrahmadawais where I write about development workflows in the context of WordPress.
As usual, don't hesitate to leave any questions or comments below, and I'll aim to respond to each of them.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Stocks ended a holiday-shortened week with mostly modest gains on Thursday, though the S&P 500 notched its biggest weekly advance since July as Morgan Stanley and General Electric rallied after strong results.
The two were the latest to post earnings that topped expectations, helping to lift the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq to their fourth straight daily advance. Tech bellwethers Google and IBM fell on disappointing figures and limited the broader market's gain. IBM's slide pushed the Dow into slightly negative territory at the close.
With less than one-fifth of S&P 500 companies having reported results so far, about 63 percent have topped earnings expectations, according to Thomson Reuters data, exceeding the 56 percent average over the past four quarters. About 52 percent have beaten revenue forecasts, about even with the 54 percent average over the past four quarters.
Morgan Stanley (MS.N) rose 2.9 percent to $30.76 after the financial services company reported a rise in first-quarter earnings, while Goldman Sachs (GS.N) edged up 0.1 percent to $157.44 after reporting earnings that fell less than expected.
General Electric (GE.N) posted a 12 percent rise in overall industrial profits and its stock gained 1.7 percent to $26.56.
"Today's earnings were mixed, with some beating and others missing expectations, but the results we've seen this week have given the season a positive tone," said Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones in St. Louis, which has $787 billion in assets. "We had expected a greater impact from weather, but industrials and banks are all doing better, which relieves that area of concern."
Tech shares capped the S&P 500's gain, with Google Inc (GOOGL.O) down 3.7 percent at $543.34 and IBM (IBM.N) off 3.3 percent at $190.01 a day after both reported earnings that failed to impress Wall Street. The results raised questions about those of other tech-sector companies.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI slipped 16.31 points, or 0.10 percent, to end at 16,408.54. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX rose 2.54 points, or 0.14 percent, to finish at 1,864.85. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC gained 9.29 points, or 0.23 percent, to close at 4,095.52.
For the week, the Dow rose 2.4 percent, the S&P 500 added 2.7 percent and the Nasdaq advanced 2.4 percent. The Dow had its best week since December while the S&P 500 closed out its best week since July.
Trading volume was light ahead of the Good Friday market holiday. About 6.1 billion shares traded on all U.S. platforms, according to BATS exchange data, below the month-to-date average of 6.88 billion.
The CBOE Volatility index .VIX, a measure of investor anxiety, fell 21.6 percent over the week, its biggest weekly drop since January 2013.
After the closing bell, Advanced Micro Devices Inc AMD.N reported first-quarter results that beat expectations, sending its shares up 2.9 percent to $3.86 in extended trading.
During the regular session, SanDisk Corp SNDK.O was the S&P 500's biggest gainer and helped boost the Nasdaq 100 .NDX. SanDisk's stock shot up 9.4 percent to close at $82.99 a day after the company reported first-quarter revenue ahead of expectations.
Baker Hughes BHI.N shares hit their highest price since August 2011 after the world's third-largest oilfield services company posted better-than-expected results as revenue in its core North American business rose nearly 7 percent. The stock climbed 3 percent to close at $68.33 after earlier rising as high as $69.78.
UnitedHealth Group (UNH.N) fell 3.1 percent to $75.78 after the health insurer said it has spent more than $100 million to cover a pricey new hepatitis C drug from Gilead Sciences (GILD.O), a higher cost than it expected by "multiples." Peer company WellPoint WLP.N slid 3.8 percent to end at $92.
Questions from U.S. lawmakers on the cost of that drug prompted a sharp selloff in Gilead in mid-March that lasted for nearly a month. The stock rose 1 percent to $70 on Thursday.
The latest data showed the U.S. economy's health was improving. The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose less than expected in the latest week and came near pre-recession levels. Factory activity in the U.S. mid-Atlantic region expanded in April at a faster clip than anticipated, according to a survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
Shares of China's Weibo Corp (WB.O) opened slightly below the $17 pricing of its initial public offering, which was at the lower end of expectations on concerns about the microblogging service's slowing user growth. The stock, however, turned sharply higher in afternoon trading and ended up 19.1 percent at $20.24.
Western Union (WU.N) fell 5 percent to $15.25 after Wal-Mart Stores (WMT.N) said it was launching a domestic money transfer service in partnership with Euronet Worldwide (EEFT.O) subsidiary Ria Money Transfer.
Shares of MoneyGram International (MGI.O), which currently provides money transfer services for Wal-Mart, plunged 17.7 percent to $14.81. Euronet rose 4 percent to $42.44. Wal-Mart gained 0.6 percent to $77.66.
About 56 percent of stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange ended the day higher while 61 percent of Nasdaq-listed shares ended in positive territory.

Perry Hall-area burglaries cause police, residents concern
Police say burglars broke doors in most cases
A cluster of Baltimore County homeowners were targeted for break-ins recently, even though they deadbolted their doors and did everything right, according to police.
Five homes in the Perry Hall area were hit in five days over Thanksgiving week, and police are investigating the possibility that the same person or group is behind the burglaries.
The incidents were reported from Silver Spring Road in Perry Hall to Bradshaw Road in Kingsville further north, with three other points in between.
"It is unusual to have a cluster of burglaries in this area," said police spokeswoman Elise Armacost.
Police said the thief or thieves stole thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and electronics from locked homes.
"In all but one of these burglaries, the criminal actually broke a door in order to gain access to house," Armacost said.
Perry Hall resident Chris Schaiger said he thinks it's even worse to find out about thieves taking advantage on a holiday.
"It's kind of rotten, but burglars are burglars. I don't think they consider what day is what," said Schaiger, who has lived in the area for more than two decades.
The break-ins are happening at all hours of the day. Police said it appears as if the culprit or culprits are striking when they decide it's most convenient.

You guys, this is such an exciting day for me!
I just got back from my business trip to Copenhagen, which I'll be doing a completely different post on. But whilst I've been away, I haven't really been that active on neither my blog, nor Twitter. Which I'm sorry about, but there wasn't a lot of time to do much else once the exploring and working.
Today is my first day back, and I'm so happy to notice that my little blog have conquered two new milestones.
300 blog followers.
And 600 Twitter followers!
I'm SO excited by this, and I'm honestly touched that so many people enjoy being a part of my crazy reviews and musings. So a huge thanks to all of you, that makes my blogging journey so much more fun!

PlatteForum unGala: An evening of 'Fresh-Funky-Fancy Fun'
As its name suggests, PlatteForum's first unGala was anything but a traditional, formulaic fundraiser.
What was it then? Simply put: An occasion that lived up to its billing as an evening of "Fresh-Funky-Fancy Fun."
Held at the Infinite Monkey Theorem tasting room and winery at 33rd and Larimer streets, guests entered the party area through a gallery where nine former PlatteForum artists-in-residence were painting and performing.
The group was made up of visual artists Michael Gadlin, Conor Hollis and Amorette Lana, Homare Ikeda, Tsehai Johnson, Lisa Michot and Lauri Lynnxe Murphy; performance artist Andrea Moore; and Tara Rynders, whose specialty is a combination video and dance.
To further set the vibe, Boba Fett drum line rolled through the crowd, playing funk and getting everyone jazzed for the interactive mural painting and late-night dance party that followed. The beats for the latter were provided by current creative residents Kwende Kefentse of Ottawa (whose stage name is DJ Memetic) and DJ Pho (Ian Swain of Toronto), who are working with PlatteForum youth to create original musical compilations and album cover art.
Conjunto Colores, a salsa band led by Francisco Mejias, also performed.
The edgy, urban vibe went on well into the night with pop-up performances by slam poet and former artist-in-residence Andrea Moore, a "build-your-own caption" photo booth and plenty of selected-for-the-occasion wines from Infinite Monkey Theorem, which also sponsored the unGala.
The unGala also celebrated PlatteForum's 10th anniversary with food from Diamond Sponsor Carmine's On Penn. The Denver Cupcake Truck rolled right up into the winery/warehouse to provide delectable desserts.
"We wanted an event that showcased our commitment to the power of our programs and the youth we serve," explains attorney Cynthia Treadwell, a member of the PlatteForum board. "We also wanted to create a unique, stimulating and interactive fundraiser that was also a 'friend-raiser' to celebrate our 10th anniversary, our recent 2012 Presidential Award for Arts & Humanities, our mission and most of all, our supporters. The goal was to make it fun, and we were overwhelmed by the response. Mission accomplished!"
Treadwell predicts the unGala will become an annual event.
PlatteForum, based in Riverfront Park, provides arts-based learning for Denver's at-risk youth.

The Ricebean Network
FOSRIN is a 3 year project funded under the EC's INCO programme to to popularise the under-utilised crop ricebean (Vigna umbellata). Ricebean is a grain legume grown in hill areas of Nepal and northern India by some of the most resource-poor farmers, and is often grown as an intercrop with maize. The project involves eight partners - universities, research organisations and NGOs in Europe and Asia, and has adopted a client-oriented approach, working closely with farmers and other stakeholders.
We believe that ricebean has great potential to improve livelihoods, diet and nutrition for these farners, and that the use of simple innovations will encourage farmers to cultivate it much more widely.
We welcome discussion and contributions from other groups and individuals with an interest in this crop, or in other grain legumes. Please contact us if you wish to contribute to this.
Project outline
The project will study several aspects of the cultivation of this crop:
- Marketing (supply chain and demand)
- Characterisation
- Nutrition and health

text: Garmin's had a tiny stylistic brain-fart with some new Nuvi GPSs. Imagine a cheesy glimmering gadget suckered-on to your windshield, sending glittering—and distracting—shafts of light into your car... that's kind of what you've got in the "light rose" and "black diamond" editions of the Nuvi 250 and 760. They're covered in coloured faux-diamonds. Yuck. The red, white and blue editions (also new) we can appreciate. But in a few years, in a look back at recent gadget history, crystal-covered GPS units will be consigned to the "what the hell were they thinking?" category. [Aving via Navigadget]

"Brilliant . . . Sunnyside offers a wealth of wit and pathos and insight, and who better to guide us through this transformational moment in history than the Little Tramp? . . . Gold's dexterous voice can swing from the exuberant melodrama of silent film to the terror of doomed soldiers to the quiet despair of the world's most beloved man." —Washington Post
"Sunnyside always intrigues and often soars . . . [It has] wonderful Dickensian qualities, namely, the capacity to startle, to thrill, to evoke laughter and, ultimately, to bring tears to the eyes." —Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Ingenious. . . . A thoughtful commentary on the creation of celebrity in modern America." —The New Yorker
"Glen David Gold's Doctorow-esque Sunnyside brings young America to vivid life as he weaves together European battlefields and the backlots of Hollywood . . . Gold is a masterful, even heart-stopping storyteller." —Entertainment Weekly
"An insanely ambitious novel . . . Gold's prose is both decorative and tensile, like art deco steel turned into English language . . . [One] scene is such a gorgeous evocation of movieland glamour, night air and heartache that it calls to mind the finest of Hollywood novels, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Last Tycoon." —Aravind Adiga, Financial Times
"A rich concoction of a novel, a melange of historical fact, biographical speculation and outright fantasy . . . Sunnyside pops and crackles with cleverness." —San Francisco Chronicle
"Sunnyside moves in grand arcs. . . . Like all the best historical novels, this one is as much about the present as anything else." —ComicCritique.com
"Gold's Chaplin will fascinate readers for any number of reasons. . . . With protean, smart, and appropriately Chaplinesque writing." —The New York Times Book Review
"Unflaggingly entertaining . . . Sunnyside flaunts a dizzying ambition. . . . Gold is a prodigally gifted storyteller." —Newsweek
"Sunnyside is the best kind of summer reading, a beautifully lavish, intelligent novel that begs to be read slowly and closely, from first line to last. . . . Warmhearted and enveloping." —Portland Mercury
"Sunnyside is a big book crammed with big ideas and ambitions, and, with its multiple plots and mix of history and fiction, it's easy to see why many reviews have compared it to the work of E.L. Doctorow . . . [It's] full of intelligence, ambition, and generosity." —Christian Science Monitor
"A historical novel full of comedic pleasures. . . . [It] has a rampant sense of fun." —Arizona Republic
"Witty and often as funny as it is insightful. . . . Sunnyside plays out much like Chaplin's career, initially funny but moving on to something that is deeper, that plumbs the human condition without necessarily providing definitive answers . . . Grandly imagined." —Denver Post
"A gloriously enjoyable read, with pleasures on almost every page: a novel of which Chaplin, the supreme entertainer, would have been proud." —Daily Telegraph (London)
"Sunnyside is a cane-twirling, bowler-doffing triumph." —Independent on Sunday (London)
"Sunnyside is a riot, as Gold displays a prodigious gift for storytelling, with a succession of scintillating set pieces and audacious one-liners . . . Fantastic." —Time Out London
"A breathless stupendous novel that recreates both a young brash America on the verge of becoming itself, and Chaplin, one of its most bewitching quixotic citizens. From lighthouse to Hollywood to starlets to war to stardom to madness to genius Gold's startling narrative carries us across the world and back. Gold proves himself yet again to be the hungriest craftiest funniest and most humane novelist we have." —Junot Díaz

THE PUBLIC EYE: Top Ten Reasons Romney Lost
On November 6th Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney with 50.3 percent of the popular vote and a surprising 332 electoral votes. Here are the top ten reasons Romney tanked.
10. He didn't have Bill Clinton. Other than his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan, Romney didn't have an effective surrogate. Obama had Joe Biden, Michelle Obama, and Bill Clinton who commanded big crowds wherever he spoke. Romney didn't use George W. Bush, who retreated to the Cayman Islands.
9. Mitt was wildly unpopular in Massachusetts, his home state. Obama carried Massachusetts by 23 percentage points. Romney claimed to have been an effective Governor who practiced bipartisanship, but the word got around that he had been an arrogant, dogmatic prick.
3. Romney blew his chance to score points on Benghazi. Republicans thought the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, would give Romney an opportunity to paint the President as weak on national security. But Romney flubbed his chance in the second debate. Obama recalled, "The day after the attack… I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people… that this was an act of terror." Romney pounced, claiming the President had not called it "an act of terror." But the debate moderator, CNN's Candy Crowley agreed with the President's recollection.
4. He was branded as elite and out-of-touch. Before the Republican convention, Obama ran ads labeling Romney as a "vulture capitalist," "part of the problem not the solution." Then a tape was uncovered where Romney told donors, "47 percent of the people…who are victims…my job is not to worry about those people." This strengthened core support for Obama. exit polls indicated on the attribute, "a candidate who cares about people like me," Obama overwhelmed Romney.
7. Women got wise to him. While the economy mattered to white female voters, it improved enough that they turned their attention to social issues: reproductive care, education, and healthcare, in general. They trusted Obama on these issues and came to believe he was the candidate that would do the most for the middle class. Women favored Obama by 55 percent and unmarried white women preferred him by 68 percent.
8. He didn't understand Hispanics. Romney's strategy was predicated on massively carrying the white vote and he did secure 58 percent. But in certain areas of the country, particularly Florida, the Republican needed the votes of Hispanics and he didn't get them because he was against the DREAM act and unwisely suggest "self-deportation" for undocumented immigrants. 70 percent of Hispanics voted for Obama.
4. The Economy recovered enough. After May, when Mitt Romney won enough delegates to secure the Republican nomination, he attacked the President for the state of the economy, "Obama isn't working." But the economy got better; thousands of new jobs were added and the unemployment rate declined from 8.5 percent to 7.9 percent. Romney's campaign slogan shifted to, "Believe in America." He said he had a "Five point plan," to create jobs but Obama countered, "Romney has a one-point plan; make sure the folks at the top play by a different set of rules." Towards the end of the campaign Romney quit talking about the economy.
3. Romney told one too many lies. After securing the Republican nomination for President, Romney waged an exceedingly dishonest campaign. An independent fact-checker, Politifact, reported two-thirds of Romney's statements ranged from "half-true" to blatant lies. The media didn't report all of these falsehoods but a week before the election Mitt was caught running an extremely deceptive auto bailout ad that torpedoed his chances in Ohiuo.
2. God intervened. Romney's campaign for President was bracketed by hurricanes. First, Isaac threatened the Republican convention, and lowered the ratings, and then Sandy disrupted the campaign and gave Obama an opportunity to display his competency as commander-in-chief. As the result of Sandy, Obama got kudos from Republican Governor Chris Christie and an endorsement from Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Obama had already gained momentum, after a disastrous first debate, and his response to Sandy pushed him ahead in most polls.
1. No Republican can win at the national level. A year ago, when the slate of Republican presidential candidates formed, it was Mitt Romney versus the "seven dwarfs:" Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Paul, Pawlenty, Perry, and Santorum. Romney struggled in the first primaries and had to turn on his money machine to defeat the others in the conclusive primaries. It was an indication that Romney was the best of a weak field and that Republicans were lukewarm about him.
Romney had to tack to the right to secure his base and this turned off self-defined centrist voters. Obama overwhelmingly carried both liberal and centrist voters. The electorate has gotten wise to the Republican Party; they understand they are radical conservatives – out-of-touch with the middle class. Ultimately, that's why Romney lost. It indicates that no Republican presidential candidate would have been electable.
