Irish Country Estate near Centuries-Old Castles
The trip includes:
- Round-trip airfare from New York (JFK), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), or Los Angeles (LAX) to Dublin (DUB)
- 6-night stay in a two- or three-bedroom private villa at Adare Manor
- Full-size car rental (manual transmission)
- Taxes and fees
Few spots in Europe feel as timeless as the Irish countryside. The craggy, untouched coastline and rolling meadows dotted with herds of sheep and the occasional crumbling castle seem to belong to a faraway past, as though the Industrial Revolution never managed to jump the Irish Sea. Great Value Vacations' luxury Ireland vacation package puts you in the heart of this storied landscape, within easy driving distance of the Emerald Isle's most iconic landmarks, including Blarney Castle, the Cliffs of Moher, and Galway Bay. The Ring of Kerry and the idyllic town of Killarney are also easily accessible by car. The vacation includes a 6-night stay in a private, two- or three-bedroom villa at the elegant Adare Manor Villas as well as round-trip economy-class airfare to Dublin and a full-size car rental (with manual transmission) for the duration of your visit. Groups of 2 individuals may receive a smaller car.
Set on a palatial 840-acre estate in the verdant Irish countryside, Adare Manor was built as a home for the second earl of Dunraven. The River Maigue flows past the grounds, which feature labyrinthine gardens and centuries-old forests. At the manor house, tangles of ivy cover stone walls punctuated by gothic columns and 365 cathedral-style windows. A scenic stroll from the manor house brings you to your private villa. Inside, you'll find a full kitchen and two or three spacious bedrooms outfitted with down comforters and elegant decor.
The estate's rolling hills make the perfect natural setting for the 18-hole golf course, which was designed by golf great Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Guests have access to a wealth of outdoor activities or pursuits including archery and hot air balloon rides. After a day spent hiking or trout fishing on the Maigue, you can dine at one of the manor's restaurants, where chefs put a gourmet twist on local favorites such as fish 'n' chips and rack of lamb.

Washington, DC Surgeons Utilize State-of-the-Art LASIK Technology
Using Wavefront Optimized(TM) Analysis, Eye Doctors of Washington Offer Patients a Whole New LASIK.
By: Marketwired .
Feb. 5, 2013 05:01 AM
WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 02/05/13 -- Dr. Thomas Clinch and Dr. Paul Kang, both prominent Washington DC LASIK surgeons, work to remain up-to-date on technology in their field. At Eye Doctors of Washington, they are now using Wavefront Optimized analysis to offer patients a greater range of LASIK procedures. This new technology allows Dr. Clinch and Dr. Kang to determine candidacy for Custom LASIK, an enhanced alternative to standard LASIK surgery.
Custom LASIK procedures, made possible by Wavefront Optimized analysis, allow patients to experience results that exceed the benefits of standard LASIK. After Custom LASIK, patients will experience:
Wavefront Optimized analysis utilizes technology that can more accurately assess the eye's refractive errors. WaveScan, the instrument that performs Wavefront Optimized analysis, detects refractive abnormalities found within: tear film, anterior and posterior cornea, lens, vitreous and retina. Dr. Clinch says, "Because we are customizing the treatment to the individual needs of every patient, the outcomes of surgery are extremely predictable and tend to be outstanding."
The Wavefront sensor measures a patient's unique refraction and is 25 times more sensitive than the standard refraction used for traditional LASIK consultations. By assessing every ray of light that enters the eye, the WaveScan determines what alterations in the visual system will produce the clearest image for each patient.
Since the Wavefront technology precisely measures the complete refractive error of the entire eye, the system allows for a more precise diagnosis. Using this technology, Drs. Clinch and Kang can offer a more tailored treatment plan to Washington DC LASIK surgery patients. "The advanced technology allows us to treat patients at a much higher level than standard LASIK or glasses and contact lenses. These can result in better outcomes for our patients," Dr. Kang says.

Meadow Mennonite Church (Mingo, Kansas, USA)
Meadow Mennonite Church (General Conference Mennonite) in Mingo, 12 miles southeast of Colby, Thomas County, Kansas, was a member of the Western District Conference. It was organized 19 September 1937 with charter members under the leadership of John H. Epp, who later also served the church as the first resident pastor. The first building was a frame structure with a seating capacity of 90. The 1957 building, a brick structure with a seating capacity of 200, was dedicated 30 November 1952. In 1954 the membership was 82, mostly rural, with J. W. Bergen as pastor. Other ministers who have served included Wm. C. Voth and Walter H. Regier.
Meadow Mennonite Church withdrew from the Western District Conference in 1970, and became known as the Mingo Bible Church. The conservative theology of the congregation and the Western District's decision to join the Kansas Council of Churches was the final rift that led to Meadow's withdrawal.

For the past 3 days my 21-day old LO has been nursing for hours at a time. We're working w/ one breast and her feedings have always been long but these are just endless -- an entire evening from 4 pm to 9 pm at the breast.
She sucks a lot but I don't always hear loud swallowing equal to the length and vigor of the suck. I compress during feeding but it doesn't seem to make a difference. At some point she inevitably becomes agitated, will writhe, cry at the breast, raise her head and chomp at the nipple. I know that sounds like OALD but the long feedings do not. She's never rejected the breast. Plus, she doesn't seem full and rarely ends a feeding with a milk coma and a nap. Yesterday she was up for nearly 4 hours though she at least slept 4 hours at night. I was engorged and leaked and expressed so she could get her mouth around a softer breast.
Yellow stool diapers are good -- we had 7 during one of the marathon days. She regained her birth weight when measured at 2 weeks 4 days (from 7.4 to 7.8 pounds with a discharge weight of 6 pounds 11 ounces) but pediatrician wanted to see more than that).
I meet with a LC on Tues but any advice now is welcome. I'm just tired, sore, and hungry myself.

Ex-USC football coach suing NCAA
Former Southern California assistant coach Todd McNair has sued the NCAA, accusing the collegiate governing body of libel, slander and misconduct in its investigation of the Reggie Bush case.
McNair is seeking unspecified damages from the NCAA in the lawsuit that was filed Friday. Attorney Bruce Broillet did not immediately return telephone messages Monday.
McNair was punished for what the NCAA claimed was his role in the scandal surrounding the Heisman Trophy-winning tailback. The NCAA claimed he knew about some of the gifts lavished on Bush's family by two aspiring sports marketers hoping to land Bush as a client.
The NCAA imposed a two-year bowl ban and scholarship restrictions on USC last year as a result of the Bush case. McNair was prohibited from contacting recruits and his USC contract was not renewed.
McNair's lawsuit claims the NCAA's investigation was one-sided and that he wasn't allowed to cross-examine witnesses. It asks the judge to strike down the NCAA rules that the organization used in ruling against McNair.
The lawsuit also claims that McNair's future economic opportunities were interfered with and that his career as a college football coach was damaged.
The NCAA released a statement Monday afternoon saying officials hadn't yet been served with the lawsuit.
"Nonetheless, we are confident actions by the NCAA enforcement staff and Committees were proper and we'll vigorously defend that position in court," the NCAA said in the statement.
The Los Angeles Daily News first reported the lawsuit.

Powerful features that help you easily understand your visitors and make better decisions about your website.
Summary Stats
Summary stats show you at a glance how many pageviews, sessions, visitors and new visitors your site has received. View summary stats per day, week, month, quarter or year or for a specific date range or period. Switch between bar graphs, area graphs and line graphs and toggle on and off pageviews, sessions, visitors and new visitors.
Bounce Rate
Bounce rate is the percentage of visitors that exit your site on the same page they entered from, without exploring your site further. In other words, it's the percentage of single page visits. A high bounce on certain pages can be an indication that you need to optimise the content, page speed and usability on those pages to keep your visitors engaged.
Popular Pages
This feature allows you to see the pages of your site ranked by popularity. This information is important to allow you to identify the most heavily visited pages, and optimise them for maximum impact. It can also help you discover potentially important pages which are getting overlooked. This could indicate poor navigation structure or linking to that page.
Entry Pages
An entry page is the first page a visitor arrives at when they visit your site. There are often a lot more of these than just your homepage. It's important that the first page a visitor loads on your site makes a good impression and this feature can help you identify which pages are the most commonly used entry pages. It can also highlight pages you did not expect to be entry pages, which you can subsequently optimise to keep a visitor on your site and drive them to your key pages.
Exit Pages
Exit pages are the pages your visitors leave your site from. This feature shows you the most common Exit Pages, allowing you to optimise those pages to keep visitors on your site.
Exit Links
Did you ever ask yourself are my visitors clicking the websites I link to? Are they clicking my advertising links or the sites I recommend?This tool allows you to see how many times your links to other websites are being clicked by your visitors.
Referrals & Search
Came From
This is one of the most important stats for any webmaster. This feature allows you to see how your visitors are finding your site, and where they are coming from. This can help you identify, for example, links on other sites that are working and those that aren't and help you trace where people are referring to your website.
Keyword Analysis
Traffic from search engines is the lifeblood of most websites and many webmasters are familiar with the importance of ranking high in search engines for keywords relating to their site. This feature allows you to view the keywords used to reach your site, ranked by their popularity. This can help you identify keywords that are working and those that aren't so you can optimise accordingly. For example, if you know a particular keyword is generally very popular for your type of site, but StatCounter indicates that it ranks low among the keywords used to reach your site, then there is an opportunity there to optimise for that keyword and generate more traffic from it. You can also group keywords according to the search engine used, to focus in on results from specific engines.
Paid Traffic
This page shows incoming traffic to your website that you have paid for through a Google or Bing ad campaign. Results are sorted by number of paid clicks so that you can check large numbers of clicks coming from a single IP Address or ISP. It can be used to investigate possible click fraud and to determine whether the money you are spending on generating traffic is paying off.
Recent Keyword Activity
This feature features up-to-the-second reporting of keywords used to reach your site, the visitors who used them, and which search engine was used. The most recently used keywords appear toward the top. You can click the magnify button to view more detail on the visitor who used that keyword.
Search Engine Wars
This feature allows you to see which search engines generate the most traffic for you. This can be useful in determining if your site is performing as well as it should be in specific search engines, or if certain important search engines are missing.
Visitors Labels
Visitor Labels enable you to add descriptive information about your visitors to help you track them as they visit, leave and return to your site.
Visitor Paths
Visitor Paths show the navigation path recent visitors took through your site. You can use this to identify common visitor behaviour, or unusual navigation paths that may indicate a problem with your site.
Visit Length
This feature shows you how long your visitors are spending on your site enabling you to find out what percentage of your visitors stay for various periods of time. This stat is important, as it can help you determine how much 'pull' your website has for visitors. If your visit length is typically low, you may wish to find improved ways to keep your visitors on your site for longer.
Returning Visits
Every website ideally would like their visitors to come back again and again. This feature identifies what percentage of your visitors are returning (and how many times they've returned), and how many are visiting for the first time. If a very low percentage of your traffic is from returning visits it may be useful to identify ways to encourage repeat visits and loyalty from your users.
Recent Pageload Activity
This feature shows you the latest, up-to-the-second page views on your website. It displays the most recent page views, some details about the visitor that made them, and allows you to magnify for even more detail on that visitor.
Recent Visitor Activity
This feature is similar to Recent Pageload Activity, but instead of displaying recent page views, it displays your latest visitors, who you can subsequently magnify for more detail.
This feature allows you to identify the geographical location of visitors to your site and their internet service provider (ISP). Asides from the fun of seeing all the different places your visitors come from, this tool can be useful in identifying if you need to be catering more toward international visitors. For example, if a large number of visitors are coming from another country, it may be worth investigating translated versions of your site, or whether you should accepting that country's currency (if you're an eCommerce website). You can also view the State or Regions of your visitors, and the cities they come from.
Recent Visitor Map
The recent visitors to your website are plotted as markers on a Google map. This gives instant visual feedback about the location of your visitors worldwide. Each marker is expandable to give more information about when and how that particular visitor found your website, what web pages they navigated through and how long they spent on the website. The ability to easily zoom in and out on the marker is also available.
Devices & Software
Browser Stats
This is an important feature that lets you see which browsers your visitors use to view your site and which are most popular. Your site may look great in one browser but does it look good in the browsers used most frequently by your visitors? See which ones you should be checking with this tool. You can also expand a particular browser to see which versions of the browser are most popular.
OS Stats
This feature shows you which operating systems your visitors use, and ranks them according to popularity. This feature may be useful in determining the technical background of your audience by the types of operating system they use.
Resolution Stats
This feature identifies the display resolutions used by your visitors ranked by popularity. This can be very useful in ensuring your site looks its best for the majority of your visitors. For example, if most of your visitors are using 800x600 and your site is optimised for a 1280x720, it may make sense to revise your site's design to accommodate the majority of your users on the lower resolution.
JavaScript Stats
Do you have a download on your website? Perhaps a PDF, picture or Excel file? If you do this stat can tell you when your visitors are clicking these downloads!
Detailed Views
Magnify User
While browsing recent visitors you can zoom in on individual visitors using the magnify feature. You'll be presented with a plethora of information such as where they are from, their system settings, what link referred them to your site and their navigation path through your site.
Drill Down
Drill Down allows you to view visitors relating to stats such as Keyword Analysis, Popular Pages, Referring Links, Entry and Exit pages and more. A popular use of Drill Down is to view all visitors who landed on a particular page. Combining Drill Down with the Magnify feature also lets you see how they got there. This kind of information is invaluable for optimising your most important pages and driving traffic to them.
Surface relevant information on your stats by filtering by Browser Type, Platform, Country, ISP, Referrer and many more.
Custom Tags
Custom tags allow you to associate custom data with a page view on your website beyond what StatCounter records as standard, to help give you new insights into your traffic. Effectively you can tag and segment your traffic in whatever way you wish.
Admin Control
Email Reports
We can send email reports every week and every month featuring a summary of your page views, sessions, visitors and new visitor stats. You can have your report sent to multiple users on your account, or CCed to other email addresses.
Upgrade to one of our paid plans to receive daily email reports featuring a summary of page views, sessions, visitors and new visitor stats for the previous day, as well as summarised Keyword and Came From stats.
Multiple Site Management
StatCounter offers the ability to manage multiple websites from one account so you don't need to sign up for different accounts for different websites. Just create new projects for each of your sites and you can manage your stats for them all from one account.
User Access Management
User Access Management allows you to provide access to your account for multiple other users. You can limit access to allow additional users to only view statistics for your projects, or only specific projects.
Public Stats
Public stats allows you to show your website stats to the whole world, unlike User Access Management which gives you a specific username and password to allow one individual to see your stats.
Blocking Cookie
A blocking cookie is a cookie that's stored in your own browser to prevent your own visits to your websites from being logged by StatCounter. This ensures that your stats are not skewed by your own visits. This can be switched on and off as required.
HTTPS Tracking
If you run a secure site using a secure sockets layer (SSL) all up-to-date versions of the StatCounter code snippet can record both http and https traffic, for all our members.

I'm heading on my trip crossing a couple of streets, then down into an apartment complex, I continue towards a park on a lake and come across a trail closed sign. I knew that they were doing some work but didn't know that they were closing the trail. Then I see a detour sign. Hmm, it says hikers and mountain bikers. Well it is the All Terrain!
Now is where it gets interesting, I am 6'2' 275 LBS and I have never really been interested in Mountain biking and dodging trees and roots, and they did cut a path down through the woods. It looks easy enough and I'll take it slow, take my time and see where this detour takes me.
I proceed down the hill, it's a little soft, no big deal, the RAT is just fine. I get to a "T" intersection and now I'm on a Mt. bike trail. It's a wide path and I have already come down the hill this far, lets keep going. I go another 50 yards and come around a bend and I see a couple of roots ahead and the trail has a little right to left slope. OK, I can do this! I proceed to the roots carefully selecting my route moving in a very controlled pace. I hit the root with my right wheel, and up it goes. And I mean up it goes and over I go and I don't mean over the root! I roll over and down the hill I go. Now the trike is on top of me and I unclip from my peddles and my shoelace is caught on something, my visor on my helmet broke off saving my glasses (yay!). I manage to get my foot free and get up to see if I'm bleeding anywhere, nope, no blood! Dust myself off from the rocks and dirt. I turn the trike over to see what damage has been done, mirror is flipped around as was the computer, tail light is moved (no big deal), Damn, the front light post is broken off! So I find the light, and a bar end cap that came off. I'm done, not going any farther on this trail. Now my day is going to be 7 miles shorter today and hopefully they will not have this detour for long.
Final tally, bruise on my leg, broken visor on helmet (hopefully can be replaced without having to buy a new one), broken boom mount for light. My pride![/quote

The Greensburg Recreation 3rd and 4th grade football team rolled to their second victory of the season by defeating Bucklin last Saturday at the Kiowa County Schools football field.
The Greensburg Recreation 3rd and 4th grade football team rolled to their second victory of the season by defeating Bucklin last Saturday at the Kiowa County Schools football field.
Greensburg looked ready to play from the start as they jumped to a quick 8-0 lead after James Brack scored on a reverse and Luke Ballard ran in for the extra point. After shutting down Bucklin on their first possession Greensburg scored again as Ridge Estes took a quarterback sneak into the end-zone followed again by Ballard running in a successful extra point attempt. Bucklin was never able to move the ball against the tough defense from Greensburg and had to punt on all of their first half possessions.
Leading 16-0, Estes scored again on the opening possession of the 3rd quarter, but the extra point attempt failed, bringing the score to 22-0. With the team up three scores the coaching staff began the process of allowing some of the younger, smaller kids to gain some valuable experience. Bucklin was able to muster up a score late in the 3rd quarter, but Greensburg followed with a touchdown of their own bringing the score to 28-6 heading into the final quarter. Bucklin was able to score a late 4th quarter touchdown with 15-seconds remaining. The final score was Greensburg 28, Bucklin 14.
"Our kids were ready to play today and it showed from the first possession," said Assistant Coach Todd Dean. "Our offense moved the ball with lots of success and our defense was stingy. These kids did a great job and had fun. I am so proud of the little guys who stepped up and played hard during the second half of the game. They learned a lot that will benefit them as the season progresses,"
The 3rd and 4th Grade Greensburg Rec. Football team will face Kinsley at 10 a.m. on Saturday Sept. 22 in Greensburg.

"Don't expect to see key features of OpenSolaris showing up in the Linux kernel," said a top Linux maintainer. At his LinuxWorld opening keynote, Andrew Morton made it very clear that the appointment of former OSDL CTO and Debian co-founder Ian Murdock to Sun's OS platforms organization will not translate into a merging between the open source version of Solaris Unix with Linux. He didn't mince words. "It's a great shame that OpenSolaris still exists. They should have killed it," said Morton, addressing one attendee's question about the possibility of Solaris' most notable features being integrated into the kernel. "It's a disappointment and a mistake by Sun." Morton said none of those features - Zones, ZFS, DTrace - will end up in the Linux kernel because Sun refuses to adopt the GPL.

Gerry Goffin Dead - Carole King's Ex-Husband & Writing Partner Dies at 75
Gerry Goffin, the ex-husband and songwriter partner of Carole King, has died at the age of 75.
The lyricist passed away in his home in Los Angeles, his wife Michelle Goffin confirmed to the Associated Press.
Gerry and Carole got married back in 1959 when they were just teenagers and wrote more than fifty top 40 hits together including "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" for The Shirelles, "Some Kind of Wonderful" for The Drifters, and many more. They got divorced in 1968, but he kept writing and penned hits such as "Savin' All My Love for You" for Whitney Houston.
"Gerry was a good man with a dynamic force, whose words and creative influence will resonate for generations to come," Carole said in a statement. "His legacy to me is our two daughters, four grandchildren, and our songs that have touched millions and millions of people, as well as a lifelong friendship."
Carole and Gerry are the subjects of the new Broadway show Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, which is currently playing in New York to sell out audiences.
We send out our thoughts and condolences to Gerry's loved ones during this difficult time.

1:30pm to 2:10pm
Data isn't just for supporting decisions and creating actionable interfaces. Data can create nuance, giving new understandings that lead to further questioning—rather than just actionable decisions. In particular, curiosity, and creative thinking can be driven by combining different data sets and techniques to develop a narrative around a set of data sets that tells the story of a place—the emotions, history, and change embedded in the experience of the place.
In this session, we'll see how far we can go in exploring one street in San Francisco, Haight Street, and see how well we can understand it's geography, ebbs and flows, and behavior by combining as many data sources as possible. We'll integrate basic public data from the city, street and mapping data from Open Street Maps, real estate and rental listings data, data from social services like Foursquare, Yelp and Instagram, and analyze photographs of streets from mapping services to create a holistic view of one street and see what we can understand from this. We'll show how you can summarize this data numerically, textually, and visually, using a number of simple techniques.
We'll cover how traditional data analysis tools like R and NumPy can be combined with tools more often associated with robotics like OpenCV (computer-vision) to create a more complete data set. We'll also cover how traditional data visualization techniques can be combined with mapping and augmented reality to present a more complete picture of any place, including Haight Street.

Oxfam International's GROW campaign launched the GROW Method in July 2012 to encourage individual action toward a more just and sustainable food system.

The campaign envisions a global food system that contributes to human well-being and ensures food security for all as the world grows to accommodate a projected 2 billion more people by 2050. As described in a previous blog post, GROW focuses on three major shifts: protecting and investing in small-scale farmers, ensuring a fair and safe food system that produces enough for all, and protecting the environment.
The GROW Method offers individuals "a brand new way of thinking about food—and the way we buy, prepare, and it eat," according to Oxfam. The Method centers around five principles that can be incorporated into everyday life:
- "Save Food." According to Oxfam, wealthy nations throw away almost as much food as sub-Saharan African nations produce each year. To combat food waste and the large expenditure of resources that accompanies it, the GROW Method encourages individuals to create shopping lists, to bring food home from restaurants, to label leftovers with "eat by" stickers, and to reuse leftovers in creative ways.
- "Shop Seasonal." Oxfam encourages individuals to plant a garden or buy seasonal produce from local farms. Rather than simply promoting local foods, the GROW Method's focus on seasonality can help reduce energy and resource losses. According to researchers at the University of Texas, "Eating locally is not always the greenest option if it means a food item is grown out of season…. For example, lamb grown in New Zealand with native rainfed grasses and shipped to the United Kingdom is less energy intensive than lamb locally raised in the United Kingdom on feed produced by use of energy-intensive irrigation, fertilizers and pesticides." To find out which foods are in season across the United States, use this map.
- "Less Meat." According to the FAO, livestock production is responsible for 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and according to Oxfam, urban households in the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Brazil could reduce emissions equivalent to taking 3.7 million cars off the road by swapping beans for beef once each week for a year. The GROW Method recommends replacing meat and dairy products with vegetables or legumes once a week.
- "Support Farmers." This principle helps to ensure that small-scale farmers are paid fairly for the food they produce. Oxfam points out that many small-scale farmers in developing nations spend more money buying food for their families than they earn from selling their harvests. But, if Americans in urban areas bought Fair Trade chocolate bars twice each month, 30,000 small-scale cocoa farmers would reap the benefits. In addition to buying Fair Trade products, the GROW Method suggests buying produce from farmers markets.
- "Cook Smart." This principle is aimed at saving water and energy when storing and preparing food. Oxfam points out that taking the following three steps when cooking vegetables on the stove could reduce energy use by up to 70 percent: using just enough water to cover the vegetables, using a flat-bottomed pan with a lid, and reducing the cooking heat once the pot begins to boil. The GROW Method also recommends preparing more cold foods and turning off appliances when able.
Oxfam's report on the GROW Method indicates that household decision makers are receptive to changing their everyday habits. The report surveyed more than 5,000 women with families in six countries—Brazil, India, the Philippines, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States—on their willingness to implement elements of the GROW Method. The majority of respondents in all countries (except the United Kingdom) were concerned with how and where their food is produced. Likewise, the vast majority of respondents in all countries wanted to know how to make a difference in the food system through their food choices.
At a time when nearly 1 billion people are hungry every day, 50 percent of the population in more than half of industrialized countries is overweight, and the food system both contributes to and is vulnerable due to climate change, the GROW Method seeks to "show how households, acting together, can make a difference."
To get involved in Oxfam's GROW campaign, visit the Facebook app or Pinterest for resources, videos, and recipes. Or, sign up to host an Oxfam World Food Day dinner on October 16 to foster conversation about where food comes from, who cultivates it, and how personal actions can make the food system more just and sustainable.
What other strategies do you use to promote a more just and sustainable food system in your everyday life? Please share with us in the comments below.

that's quite the useful tip... thanks... ... my grandma is being helpful with making too wide clothes in to more fitting things. making a waistline and all those things. I hope to learn it myself some day.Openhome wrote:I add darts to the very large shirts, and they turn out beautifully. Like you, I have curves, but I also have bumps. Lots of them. However, my body shape is hourglass, so I need something that shows off my waist. My answer is making four simple darts in the hem of the shirt. Two in front and two in back.
Here is a video about how to fit the shirts.
that one of my problems as well, but I recently found out that if you go for the victorian style dresses, so with a tight waist and flowing out and wear heels you will look great... I bought a long victorian style coats this winter. it only looks good when I'm wearing heels but it really does wonders for your figure..Suzan wrote:Everything I try on doesn't fit or makes me look bigger and shorter. I love the long-summer-dress-trend but I just can't wear them because they make me look extremely short.

Christopher Thompson's Closing the Deal: Tap House Grille is a hidden gemCHRISTOPHER THOMPSON
October 26. 2013 1:18AM
Once in a while you stumble across something you recognize as truly unique. And that happened to me when I came across the New England's Tap House Grille in Hooksett.
For those that are unfamiliar with the Tap House, it's a restaurant that opened in January at 1292 Hooksett Road. If you're coming from Manchester, it's a little over a mile north of the Cinemagic movie theaters. Situated in a strip mall and sharing store frontage with a big named bank and other well-known retail stores, the Tap House is in a location you wouldn't expect.
I'm far from a restaurant critic and don't claim to be an expert on the food service industry, but I do know something good when I experience it. Due to my schedule and lack of time to allocate towards cooking, I tend to eat out a lot more than I'd like to admit. I've had my fair share of restaurant experiences, and that's why I feel compelled to share my experience at the Tap House.
First and most importantly, the restaurant business is a people business. Sure, you have to have good food and a desirable atmosphere, but that is expected. It's all about the people and the experience they have. And that is one of the most important aspects of the restaurant business the Tap House has truly figured out.
It only took a few visits for the wait staff at the Tap House to figure me out. They were very in tune with my routine and have always done an amazing job making me feel like I was coming to eat at a friend's house. Although it wasn't obvious to me, this approach is by design and part of what they want every customer to feel.
The last time I went to the Tap House for dinner, I followed my usual routine, sat down at the bar and ordered a drink and dinner. As I was finishing my dinner and the waitress asked me if I wanted another beer, I realized that this was the fourth person that night that had waited on me. That's something you just don't see very often.
Everyone who works at the Tap House has a team mentality. It shows and it's one of the only times I've ever experienced that in a restaurant. It wasn't about the individual waiter or waitress that was serving me. The entire staff was focused on making sure I was taken care of. And they did that flawlessly.
After I finished eating, I decided to track down the owner and provide feedback on my experience. I noticed a guy going table to table talking to people and had a suspicion he may be the owner, so I introduced myself to him. Sure enough, it was owner Dan Lagueux, who founded the Tap House with his wife and co-owner, Valerie Vanasse. And when I had time to sit down with him and hear his story, I was blown away.
There is nothing I find more interesting than stories of successful entrepreneurs who give everything they have to pursue their dreams. And that's exactly what Dan Lagueux did.
Dan Lagueux, a former drill instructor in the Canadian military, came to the United States 11 years ago and at the time was working for a granite company. He eventually chose to invest every dollar he had into pursuing his dream and starting the Tap House. After he was told no 26 times by various banks and financers, he finally came across the right company that was willing to invest in his idea. And the rest is history.
Today, the New England Tap House Grille has become a part of Hooksett and the greater Manchester community. Not only do they have over 50 beers on tap, with the majority being from local brewers, their menu is full of great dishes with something everyone will enjoy.
But it's more than the food and the beer. It's about the environment and experience you have when you're there. The approach the New England Tap House team takes to ensuring you have the best possible experience is something that is truly unique and difficult to find.
Congratulations to Dan and the New England Tap House team and keep up the outstanding level of service you provide. I hope others learn from your belief in team work, passion for excellence and willingness to go the extra mile with all that you do.

Venezuela deports purported prominent drug lord Daniel Barrera back to Colombian homeland
BOGOTA, Colombia – Venezuelan authorities deported a prominent drug-trafficking suspect to Colombia on Wednesday, nearly two months after his capture at a payphone in an operation aided by Colombian and U.S. authorities.
Officials called Daniel Barrera one of Colombia's most-wanted drug lords. The bearded 50-year-old was handcuffed and said nothing as he stepped down from a police plane that brought him and five other drug suspects from Venezuela.
Barrera is to be extradited to the United States, a process that could take months, said Colombia's National Police director, Gen. Jose Roberto Leon, who spoke at the airport where the suspects arrived. He said Barrera would be jailed in Bogota while awaiting extradition.
Barrera had a false passport when he was captured Sept. 18 in the southwestern Venezuelan city of San Cristobal, Venezuelan Justice Minister Nestor Reverol said.
Barrera is known as "El Loco," or "The Madman," and Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has called him "the last of the great capos."
Barrera was arrested after Colombian officials, who were working with U.S. and British authorities, notified Venezuela that Barrera was making a call from one of dozens of public phones that were being monitored, officials said. He was arrested at the payphone in front of a church.
Colombia police say Barrera had been in Venezuela since 2008 and owned ranches worth millions of dollars. They said he had badly burned his fingers to erase his fingerprints and hide his identity.
Colombian police had offered a reward of about $2.5 million for information leading to his arrest.
U.S. and Colombian officials have alleged that Barrera's gang supplies cocaine to Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, which ships drugs to the United States.
The authorities have said Barrera operated in a swath of eastern Colombia including areas along the border in Venezuela, and had a drug smuggling alliance with rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC.
Last year, U.S. authorities in Miami charged Barrera with illegal association to smuggle cocaine into the United States.
According to a 2010 grand jury indictment in U.S. District Court in New York, Barrera was both manufacturing and trafficking drugs on a large scale, buying raw cocaine paste from FARC rebels and converting it into cocaine at his labs in eastern Colombia. The indictment said that amounted to as much as 400 tons a year and that Barrera then arranged shipment of the drugs through Colombia and Venezuela to the United States, Europe and Africa.
Six other drug suspects were handed over to Colombian authorities Wednesday, included Jorge Cifuentes Villa and Eduardo Acosta Mejia.
Cifuentes was wanted by Colombian and U.S. authorities and was captured in Venezuela last week. His brother, Francisco Cifuentes Villa, was slain in 2007 on a ranch he owned in Colombia's Antioquia state and had once been a pilot of drug lord Pablo Escobar, who was killed by police in 1993.
Reverol said Cifuentes and others of his brothers had smuggled more than 30 tons of cocaine to the United States in the past three years. The Colombian is accused of having links to Mexico's Sinaloa cartel.
The 30-year-old Acosta is a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in the Dominican Republic and is wanted by Colombian authorities on drug trafficking charges, Reverol said.
Acosta, who was arrested in Venezuela's western Tachira state in August, formerly was a member of the U.S. military and served in special forces for the Navy, Reverol said. He said that Acosta has worked as a "bodyguard for criminal organizations" in Colombia and that Venezuelan authorities determined he had the "profile of a mercenary."
Venezuela has become a key route for smuggling of Colombian cocaine. U.S. officials have often accused Venezuelan authorities of not doing enough to curb drug trafficking, and say that most of the drug flights ferrying cocaine northward from South America leave from Venezuela.
Barrera's is one of several alleged Colombian drug kingpins arrested in Venezuela recently.
Another arrest came in Argentina last month, when reputed Colombian drug trafficker Henry de Jesus Lopez was captured outside a Buenos Aires restaurant. Lopez ran the "Urabenos" gang based in northern Colombia, and Leon said Colombian authorities are now after another leader of that group, Dairo Antonio Usuga, known as "Otoniel."
"I want to tell Otoniel to turn himself over to Colombian justice," Leon said, adding that if he doesn't, "we'll go get him wherever he is."
Associated Press writer Jorge Rueda in Caracas, Venezuela, contributed to this report.

So I am having to suppliment approx 180-200mls of formula a day to my 6.5 month old. What should I be giving for vitamin d if any?
So I am having to suppliment approx 180-200mls of formula a day to my 6.5 month old. What should I be giving for vitamin d if any?
This is probably a question for the pediatrician. Since you're supplementing with formula, your baby's vitamin D needs may be being met by that, which would mean you wouldn't need an additional vitamin supplement. And even if they're not, it's summertime in the northern hemisphere, so if you and your baby are light-skinned, living in the northern hemisphere, and are getting at least 15 minutes per day of sunlight without sunblock, then you're probably making plenty of vitamin D just thanks to the sun.
Can I ask why you're supplementing? Is that something you want to be doing, or not? If not, maybe we can help you get the supplement out of your life.
Many of us use Carlson's Baby D drops. Ask your doc about them. You can get them online or from most natural foods stores.

Farmers across McHenry County have their tillers and tractors ready, as they wait for warm and dry enough conditions to begin planting crops and put behind them a long, harsh winter.
Grain farmer Harry Alten has spent the month fertilizing his 600-acre farm in Harvard for the planting season, while waiting for sunnier days to heat the soil.
Out near Woodstock, cool soils also are putting farmer Michele Aavang slightly behind planting schedule, while John Bartman has the advantage of Marengo's drier and sandier soils as he readies to plant corn and beans this spring.
"We just have to wait for the right time. If it starts raining and snowing the next few weeks, then we will start worrying," Alten said. "If the sun keeps shining, we will start planting."
Whether it's a frigid winter or summer drought, weather conditions throughout the year can dictate a farmer's ability to produce a healthy crop. But the deep freeze that lasted all winter in McHenry County has caused cooler soil temperatures for farmers at a critical juncture.
As April concludes, farmers in the county are entering the traditional planting window to produce optimal crops. Farmers generally have from the end of April to mid-May to plant crops and give them enough time to harvest before fall, Bartman said.
"If you are planting corn in June, the problem is that in October you could have an early frost and may end up killing your crop," said Bartman, a fifth-generation grain farmer. "The later you are, more stress is added to the plant that is growing out in the field."
In Harvard, Alten is waiting for soil temperatures to reach between 55 and 60 degrees so he can start planting his corn and soybeans. Last year, he was planting corn seeds in early March, Alten said.
But the cooler weather this spring hasn't yet worried Alten, who works with his brother on a smaller farm that requires less field work.
"It's a little cold yet," Alten said. "If you can get field corn in by the end of the April, you stand a good chance of having a good crop."
Lloyd Nichols ranked this past winter as one of the harshest since he started Nichols Farm and Orchard in Marengo 36 years ago. Nichols and his family grow more than 1,000 fruits and vegetables at the orchard each year.
Despite a delayed bloom this spring, he stressed that it's too early in the planting season to assess the damage done by the cold winter.
"It's too early to see what happened yet. ... We definitely pushed the season back," Nichols said. "We are looking at a relatively short growing season."
The long winter at Willow Lea Stock Farm in Woodstock not only caused cooler soil temperatures but forced Aavang to spend more on heat and fuel.
But the planting window for Aavang's corn and bean crops hasn't closed this spring.
"It's too soon to say," she said. "We are just concentrating on getting the soil temperatures right and getting the field ready to start planting."

FRANKFORT – Two broken bones prevented the 2013 season from starting as planned for Glenbard North sophomore gymnast TJ Kennedy.
Winning a state title Saturday put the perfect finishing touch on the healing process.
Kennedy suffered two broken bones in the palm of his hand during the Panthers' first meet of the season. Two months later, Kennedy captured a state title on vault as part of the individual event finals Saturday at Lincoln-Way East.
Kennedy posted a score of 9.45 to best runner-up Nate Elfant of Glenbrook North. He also finished runner-up on floor exercise (9.65) and sixth on horizontal bars (9.05).
"I was really excited," Kennedy said. "I was hoping to make the top five on the vault and first place is 10 times better. Floor was not my best, but I was still happy with it.
"I'm most happy with my high bar in both the prelims and finals. It has taken me so long to get my high bar to a state final competition level."
At one point, even competing at the end of the season was in question. Injuring himself on the parallel bars, Kennedy missed nearly six weeks of action, and upon his return, had to quickly make up for lost time.
"I was thinking that I needed to step it up when I returned," he said, "because I needed to get to the same level with the kids who had been working for six weeks longer than I had."
Not bad for someone who not long ago took a hiatus from the sport. After beginning his career in kindergarten, Kennedy stopped competing in fifth grade and didn't return until his freshman year at Glenbard North.
"I was at some of my brother's (Glenbard North) gymnastics meets," Kennedy said of his brother, Ryan, "and I saw them all having fun and doing tricks that I knew I could do. I said 'Why not go back and do it,' and I ended up liking the sport again."
Glenbard North coach Michael Crissie was impressed with Kennedy's speedy recovery and his ability to improve on last year's third-place finish on floor and sixth on vault.
"TJ coming back from a broken hand and finishing first and second is unbelievable considering I thought he was done for the season," he said.
Kennedy was not the only Glenbard North gymnast to make it to state. Seniors John Cummins (floor exercise and horizontal bars) and Derrick Nguyen (still rings) also competed in the prelims, as did sophomore Gino Simone (horizontal bars).
"TJ's accomplishment aside, it was really nice to get the two seniors to the state meet," Crissie said. "It's a small team anyway and to get what is essentially all of our varsity gymnasts to state, it was fun for the boys."

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota taxpayers are being warned not to use some popular tax return programs including TurboTax.
The Minnesota Department of Revenue said Friday that the software company Intuit discovered problems with some of its tax return products, including TurboTax, Lacerte, Intuit online and ProSeries. Officials say those issues could delay tax refunds or make them inaccurate.
Intuit officials say the problems are isolated to Minnesota.
Company spokeswoman Julie Miller says the problems are affecting several portions of the 2012 tax returns, including property tax refunds, education expenses and $5 political contributions. She says about 10,000 tax returns will be affected.
Miller says people who've already filed have been notified, and the company will refund anyone who asks. She says software updates have been pushed out to try to fix the problem.

et memini hoc, et unde loqui didiceram, post adverti.
The text I have provided is that of M. Skutella from the most recent Teubner. In the app. crit "didicerim" is given as a reading that existed in another group of MSS. What I don't understand is why "didiceram" is a better reading than "didicerim." I take the "unde" clause as an indirect question governed by "adverti," so the subjunctive seems necessary to me. Were there certain cases in late Latin where the indicative was used in indirect questions rather than the subjunctive? I know in pre-classical Latin the indicative was occasionally used to indicate, as Woodcock puts it, "indirect questions of fact," but I don't know whether anything analogous existed in late Latin.

My newborn daughter is barely 2 months old and breastfeeding did not start off as easily as I assumed. I went to several courses, read a mountain of books and watched so many videos, I felt like I was a pro before she was even born BUT latching on was easy, but unfortunately, my breast milk did not start producing until almost 5 days after I left the hospital (which was 8 days after she was born). As a result, we have been supplementing (at first) with formula. Once my breast milk was established, lo and behold, I fell seriously ill - so ill I could not even sit up in bed and hold the baby without shaking.
Since I was heavily medicated and pure exhausted, we decided not to breastfeed, but continued pumping (and tossing) as often as I had energy - so my breast milk production was saved.
Finally, after forcing myself to get better, my daughter was finally breastfed and I was well enough to take care of her. Breastfeeding went perfect for about a week until now.
(Because of a really really mean/rude boss) I have to go back to work. Even when I'm not physically at the office, he kept calling, emailing and harassing me to do work while I was at home on maternity leave. I know this is illegal, but until I quit my job, I'm stuck. My schedule has become quite hectic and I've begun to rely heavily on pumping and less on actual breastfeeding.
It started out as engorgement:
I was late pumping or I skipped a feeding session because I was unable to (I would be in a meeting or driving or somewhere without my pumping equipment),
I come home ready to breastfeed, but my mother didn't realize I was going to be home at that time and just fed her a bottle
It was one thing or another, and by the weekend, my breasts were painfully swollen with angry red marks. It made me cry to even put a shirt over the breasts (they were so tender) and pumping or hand expressing or breastfeeding has become torture.
I've been to a Lactation Consultant who spent a morning helping me relieve my breasts (involves a hospital grade pump and her determined squeezing, plus my painful whimpers). She quickly called my OB right after our session and asked him to start me on antibodies and informed me I have a severe case of Mastitis. When I heard how serious things were, I could've cried.
That was yesterday.
Today, I'm trying to do as instructed: pump or breastfeed as much as possible, and firmly massage the hard chunks in my breasts (even if it makes me want to scream with pain). It doesn't help my family was against breastfeeding from the beginning.
Yes, I know breastfeeding is the best for the child and ALL the benefits of breastfeeding. It is why I was absolutely determined to continue breastfeeding, even when the beginning was extremely rocky, but my family has watched me fall ill and go through a lot of pain to get this to work. I'm exhausted all the time and I can barely function from lack of sleep. It's killing my family to see the pain I'm in - they all told me that I should consider stopping and that I should be happy I've already breastfed a bit - "it's better than nothing" - they say.
I'm feeling quite alone and ready to give up... especially since the formula is sitting right there and such an easy route to take. Now, with mastitis, I'm barely getting 3 hours of sleep a night, since I am in so much pain. During the day, I struggle just to get by a work or even drive without feeling like I'm about to pass out from lack of sleep... and I feel like screaming every time I'm pumping.
The dark-side is enticing me with formula and long nights of easy sleep. I've been a very active reader of this forum (even if I don't post a lot) and the encouragement I've seen other woman receive has really helped me so far. I really want to know if anyone has ever run into a situation like this and how they overcame this obstacle?
Oh! And by the way, maybe we can figure out (once and for all): Just what is better for Mastitis? My OB Doctor suggested heat (like a warm towel), but my Lactation Consultant was vehemently against heat and suggested ice ALL the time.
I've read so many mixed reviews online.

by Kevin Wensing, VP of Executive Office at the USO, for ASSEMBLY and the West Point Association of Graduates:
Duty, Honor and Country. Those words are the guiding principles for every member of the Long Gray Line. They also ring true for the USO, an organization established by President Franklin Roosevelt and Congress on the eve of America's entry into World War II. These principles continue to guide the 22nd president of the USO, Sloan Gibson '75. For Gibson, when duty, honor, country are combined they translate into trust, which is the foundation of effective leadership in any situation.
For the USO, an organization that is an American icon, trust is the key element that draws troops and their families to the 140 USO Centers around the world. In 2011, the USO will mark 70 years of service to America, and, since its founding in 1941, nearly every man or woman who has worn a military uniform has been helped or entertained by the USO and its thousands of volunteers in some way. Since coming aboard in 2008, Gibson and the USO have been working hard to adapt to meet the needs of today's military and the "new normal" of repeated deployments to combat zones and to humanitar- ian missions around the world.
The USO was chartered by Congress to "lift the spirits" of America's men and women in uniform. That prime directive still applies as the USO asks, "What, if we could do it, would be truly special for our troops and their families?" In the past year the USO has done a number of truly special things for our warriors and military families, from the front lines in Afghanistan and Iraq to places like Ft. Hood, TX, where the USO Center commenced 24-hour operations after the tragic shootings in November 2009. The USO is also with the families of America's fallen every day at Dover Air Force Base, where a beautiful new center was built for families who come to witness the dignified transfer of their loved one when they return home for the final time.
[caption id="attachment_1970" align="aligncenter" width="499" caption="Army Cheerleaders are joined by Steve Hodges of ATT (far left) and USO president Sloan Gibson '75 (far right, 2nd row) at the 2009 Army-Navy game. (Photo courtesy of ASSEMBLY)"][/caption]
Last year the USO recorded more than seven million visits and produced hundreds of celebrity performances, bringing smiles to the faces of our troops and their families. Recently new centers opened in Landstuhl and Grafenwoehr, Germany, Osan and Daegu, South Korea, Camp Sather and Basrah, Iraq, Ft. Carson, Ft. Drum, Ft. Bragg, Ft. Benning, Columbia, and Dover, and others, in places like Kuwait, Dubai, St. Louis and Houston, were renovated.
Staying in touch with family is the number one morale issue, and that's why the USO provided more than one million free phone calls home from its new private telephone network in Afghanistan and Iraq, while continuing to distribute hundreds of thousands of free calling cards. Connecting deployed troops with their children is a high priority, and last year the USO sent some 50,000 United Through Reading recordings and books to military kids. Last year, 400,000 USO Care Packages and 300 USO2GO bundles, that in- clude entertainment and gaming systems, were sent to forward de- ployed troops, enabling them to set up their own entertainment areas.
The USO has focused on serving those who need help the most. At the very top of the list are those serving in harm's way; our wound- ed, ill and injured, their families, and the families of the fallen. Today's USO has delivered an unprecedented level of support towounded warriors and families through its own programs and by building strong partnerships with other organizations. In 2010, the USO will break ground on its most ambitious undertaking as con- struction begins on two new USO Centers, one at the new Army Hospital at Ft. Belvoir, VA, and at the other at the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. They will be dedicated to serving our wounded, their families and those who care for them. These centers were inspired by the success of the USO Cen- ter at the Army's regional medical facility in Landstuhl, which has won high praise from its users and from the Pentagon. The Army's Warrior and Family Support Center at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, built with donations from the local community and gifted to the Army, was another model that guided the USO.
Gibson describes these centers as, "Gifts from the American peo- ple. Our wounded warriors and their families deserve our best." Rick Cantwell '75, President of Odell International and a classmate of Gibson, said, "Sloan is a close and trusted friend who has taken up the challenge of serving the men and women of our armed forces and their families at one of the most critical times in our nation's history. The USO has made a remarkable difference in the lives of our troops and has adapted to meet the needs of our wounded, ill and injured and their families with the two new USO Centers at Bethesda and Ft. Belvoir. These centers will help those who need USO support the most, and at a critical time in their lives." Cantwell added, "This ability to adapt to the ever changing needs of those who serve our country is what has made the USO a trusted friend."
As an additional 30,000 troops surge to Afghanistan, the USO continues to find ways to do even more for those serving in harm's way and for their families at home.
New USO Centers will soon open in Kandahar, Ft. Campbell, Ft. Riley, Ft. Bliss, Ft. Hood, Richmond, Phoenix and Las Vegas, with renovations planned for centers in Japan, Qatar, San Antonio and McChord AFB. The USO also will continue to send hundreds of performers and celebrities to let our troops know that the American people appreciate their service and sacrifice. The USO has always relied upon the goodness and generosity of the American people to accomplish its mission, and for seven decades it has had their steady support. The ongoing requirements of two wars and the pressing needs of our wounded and their families will require the USO to find additional resources to build, operate and sustain the new centers at Ft. Belvoir and Walter Reed hospitals and support other programs for our wounded and their families.
These are challenging times, and the support of the American people is more important than ever. Gibson says, "People often ask why we need a USO. Shouldn't the government be doing all this for our troops? Well, the government does a lot, but this is different. This is the American people saying thank you and doing something special for our troops and their families." With trust in the American people, and the trust of the brave men and women who serve, the USO remains committed to continuing the mission that began al- most 70 years ago. For more information on the USO and its programs please visit their website.
Their journey is everyone's responsibility. From the moment they enlist, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, they can rely on your support.

Today's Meditation
Read Ephesians 2:1-10
If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
- 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NRSV)
Have you ever watched a butterfly working its way out of a chrysalis? The process requires an amazing struggle. Anyone who does not understand the purpose of the struggle might in sympathy snip the chrysalis. This would make it easier for the butterfly to get out, but the butterfly would likely be underdeveloped and never fly. The struggle is part of the process of developing strong wings. For many years of my Christian life I felt like a butterfly trapped in a chrysalis — a chrysalis of secular values, philosophy, and standards. Struggling through my feelings of inferiority, fear, and failure was agonizing and time-consuming. However, shortening this spiritual metamorphosis would have resulted in a weak, superficial Christian life. I became a new creature when I accepted Christ as my personal Savior. Slowly, like an emerging butterfly, I was freed — I found spiritual freedom in Christ. Christ desires that every one of his followers live unencumbered by our old nature and develop strong wings to fly free as new creations. Read more from Sandra on The Upper Room blog today.
Sandra Hastings
(Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)
Thought for the Day: Gaining our freedom is worth the struggle it may take to get there.
Prayer: Dear Lord, give us strength and courage to grow into spiritual freedom. Amen.

Gold gained for the first time in four days in New York as prices near a four-month low spurred buying and on speculation of increased demand from China.
Bullion slumped to a four-month low on Jan. 4 after minutes from the Federal Reserve showed that policy makers may end $85 billion in monthly bond purchases some time this year. Gold imports by China from Hong Kong almost doubled in November from a month earlier, government data show. The U.S. Mint sold 71,500 ounces of American Eagle gold coins so far this month, compared with a total of 76,000 ounces in December, its website shows.
"Market players have evidently been taking advantage of the lower prices recently to purchase gold," analysts at Commerzbank AG wrote today in a report. "The Chinese New Year festival at the beginning of February is likely to have lured buyers into the market. The currently robust physical gold demand in China should have a bolstering effect on prices."
Gold for February delivery rose 0.4 percent to $1,653.30 an ounce by 7:47 a.m. on the Comex in New York. Prices reached $1,626 on Jan. 4, the lowest since Aug. 21. Gold for immediate delivery added 0.4 percent to $1,653.71 in London.
Mainland China bought 90,764 kilograms (90.764 metric tons) in November, including scrap and coins, compared with 47,478 kilograms in October, data from the Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong government show. Volumes for bullion of 99.99 percent purity on the Shanghai Gold Exchange surged to 19,504.8 kilograms yesterday, according the bourse's website. That's the highest ever for the benchmark contract, according to data tracked by Bloomberg.
ETP Holdings
Holdings in gold-backed exchange-traded products were at 2,622.3 tons yesterday, about 0.4 percent below the record set Dec. 20, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Prices gained for a 12th consecutive year in 2012 as central banks from the U.S. to China pledged more steps to spur economic growth.
Japanese pension funds, the world's second-largest pool of retirement assets after the U.S., will more than double their gold holdings to 100 billion yen ($1.1 billion) by 2015 as the new government pushes for a higher inflation target, said Itsuo Toshima, an adviser to the funds.
Japan's central bank next meets on Jan. 21-22. Finance Minister Taro Aso said today that the nation will use foreign- exchange reserves to buy European Stability Mechanism bonds. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Jan. 1 that a "bold" monetary policy is one of the three prongs of his economic plan.
Silver for March delivery rose 0.8 percent to $30.325 an ounce. Platinum for April delivery was up 1 percent at $1,572.50 an ounce. Palladium for March delivery gained 0.6 percent to $674.25 an ounce, after reaching $663.20 yesterday, the lowest since Nov. 28.

NH College Notebook: Memorial grad Beauchemin is top UMass-Lowell hurler
May 11. 2013 2:17AM
Shane Beauchemin, a sophomore out of Manchester Memorial, and Garrett Cole, a junior out of Bedford and Trinity High School in Manchester, helped the University of Massachusetts-Lowell baseball team close out the season with a sweep of Bentley last weekend.
The River Hawks posted a 30-19 overall record, but just missed the Northeast-10 tournament with an 11-10 mark.
Beauchemin put up a 9-0 pitching record with a 1.53 earned run average for the season and was named to the All-Northeast-10 First Team. In 76 1/3 innings, he struck out 59 and walked 17 and had three complete games with one shutout
"His bulldog mentality on the mound and his ability to throw three pitches at any time kept hitters off balance all year," said Ken Harring, the Lowell coach and the former coach at St. Anselm in a story on the school's web site. "His year is arguably the best year any pitcher has ever had in the history of the program."
The right-hander shined down the stretch for the River Hawks, allowing just three earned runs in his final four starts. In his last game, he allowed seven hits in a 3-1 win over Bentley last Saturday.
On Sunday, Cole gave up two hits in an 8-0 win over Bentley in the season finale.
But Merrimack beat Stonehill that same day and grabbed the last spot in the league tournament with a 12-9 record.
Cole had a 3-7 record and 4.13 ERA for the season.
Pat Parker, a sophomore infielder out of Merrimack, and Luke Reynolds, a sophomore outfielder out of Manchester Memorial and Northern Essex Community College, were among the other New Hampshire players who suited up for Lowell.
Parker started 31 of the 37 games he played in and batted .267 and Reynolds started 18 of his 20 and hit .288.

University of New Hampshire cross country and track standout Keely Maguire and linebacker Matt Evans collected the Jim Urquhart Senior Student Athlete of the Year Awards at a banquet last week.
Maguire graduates this month with a degree in political science. She leaves Durham with school records in the indoor 3,000, the outdoor 3,000 and the outdoor 5,000 meter runs. The indoor 3,000 mark had stood since 1982.
Maguire won the America East Cross Country individual championship last November,
Evans became the school's al-time leading tackler last fall and finished his career with 460 tackles. He helped the Wildcats to the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs in each of his four seasons.
He won the Buck Buchanan Award as the best FCS in the nation as a junior and his No. 52 jersey has been retired. His was the fifth number retired by UNH, the first of a defensive player.

Eric Jensen of Gorham, a senior shortstop at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass., has been named to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Academic All-Conference team for the third straight year.
Jensen has a major in math and economics with a minor in statistics and carries a 3.85 grade point average. He is just the second Wheaton player in program history to earn three such honors.
Jensen leads the team with a .373 batting average and 14 doubles and has 27 runs batted in. He led the Lyons to a 30-10 overall record and their 13th NEWMAC championship in 15 years.
The Lyons make their 12th appearance in the NCAA Div. III New England Regionals beginning on Wednesday in Harwich, Mass.
The tournament field will be announced today.

It's called the University of Connecticut, but on some days, it might as well be UNH-Storrs.
In a May 3 game at Rutgers, three New Hampshire residents played key roles in leading UConn to a 3-1 victory. Starting pitcher Carson Cross of Brentwood pitched 7 2/3 innings, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks, with four strikeouts. Nashua High South graduate Billy Ferriter started the Huskies' winning rally by leading off the eighth inning with a base hit and scoring the tying run. Another South grad, reliever Dan Feehan, set a UConn record with the 88th pitching appearance of his career and retired the only two batters he faced, one via strikeout.
The victory raised the Huskies' overall record to 9-10 in the Big East, 28-19 overall.
The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) and its ECAC East Women's Ice Hockey League announced recently that Franklin Pierce University and its women's ice hockey program will join the conference beginning with the 2014-15 season. The announcement was made by ECAC Interim Commissioner Steve Bamford.
Franklin Pierce will once again compete as a varsity independent program in 2013-14, and then take on a full league schedule the following season. In addition to Franklin Pierce, the University of New England was also accepted into the conference, pushing ECAC East to a 14-team league, which makes it the largest women's ice hockey conference in the nation. Scheduling options for the conference in 2014-15 are still to be finalized.
"Franklin Pierce is excited to be joining a great league such as ECAC East," Director of Athletics Bruce Kirsh said. "I would like to thank all of the administrators and ECAC officials for working with us and accepting us into the league. (Head Coach) David Stockdale and all of his players worked extremely hard this past winter during the program's inaugural season. The team continued to get better each day throughout the season and I believe that our program will help to enhance an already strong league."
Franklin Pierce finished with a 7-14 record during its inaugural season of 2012-13. The seven victories were the most by a Division II/III first-year program this season.
"I'm very excited for the opportunity to compete in ECAC East," Stockdale said. "There are a lot of great teams in the league and our program is looking forward to building exciting rivalries which will help to grow the sport of women's college ice hockey."

Two recipients shared the Paul D. Labarre Distinguished Service Award, named in honor of longtime College administrator and coach Paul Labarre. Kim and Gary Milliken of Dayville, Conn. were honored for their service and support for Daniel Webster College baseball, while Nashua resident Greg Andruskevich was honored acknowledging nearly two decades of service to the College and the athletics program.

Four Plymouth State University women's lacrosse players received regional recognition Wednesday when the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) announced the All-Region Teams for 2013.
Senior midfielder Caitlin Swanson (Holderness/Plymouth Regional) was named Pilgrim Region First Team All-Star this spring for PSU after garnering Second Team honors the past two years. The other three Panthers were Pilgrim Region Second Team selections - junior goalie Lorin Field (Hollis/Hollis-Brookline), senior defender Kristen Guest and sophomore attack Meghan McNabb; Field and McNabb are repeat selections.
All four Panthers were named Little East Conference First Team All-Stars earlier this week after helping the Panthers to a 12-3 overall record and the LEC regular season title.
Swanson had another outstanding season for PSU on both ends of the field, contributing to the offense with a team-high 38 goals and 44 points while helping out the defense with 35 ground balls, 32 draw controls and 21 caused turnovers. She concludes an outstanding career, making her mark in the PSU record books; Swanson winds up her career 11th on the all-time PSU scoring list with 160 points (seventh with 130 goals, 30 assists), and seventh on the all-time PSU list for draw controls with 112.
