I got us taking some risks and bringing in some possible character issues, but I also see a ton of talent and some guys who have some freak athletiscism or play making ability. There are only a few positions I expect to see a major impact this year from the rookie draft class. WLB is a sure bet to get a fair shot to start. The nickle CB spot could see a rookie making an immediate impact, and I see an upgrade over McCoy as something that is very undervalued. From the recent visits it only solidifies the idea we are going to bring in som vets on the DL. This allows us to draft guys who need so time to develope or that could be boom or bust.

Hi there backcountry skiers and snowboarders!
|After the first wet one, Mammoth Mountain 12/3/12
followed by high ratio snow dumps with uncharacteristically calm winds. This all gave us a very memorable early season of deep light powder skiing throughout the Sierra. It feels like a distant memory now. January featured it's usual June-uary thaw and began a drought that plagued us all producing record breaking low precip for the two month Jan-Feb time period. March came in like a lamb, and since then it has been highly variable, and unremarkable weather in the Sierra. We have experienced intense warming with little freeze, as well as profound low temps that resulted in some icy and firm backcountry conditions. There has been decent corn skiing for those who have hit it right and/or been willing to carry skis a bit for it. Weak storm systems that split upon reaching our mountains, or just brushed past them produced storms averaging around 2-8 inches of snow at a time and giving us fleeting moments of fun, powdery skiing on top of a mix of
crusts and sugary facets. The winds have finally come to the range with the last storms where winds up to 120 mph were measured. This has smoothed out some sun effects and should help create some decent corn skiing in the coming weeks.
A few highlights to show conditions over the season:
|Negatives 12/19/12
False Gibbs & East Peak of Dana 1/8
|Green Creek 2/18
|Devil's Slide 2/20
|Sawtooths 2/26
|McGee Creek 3/13
|Echo Col 3/26
|Ionian Basin 3/26
|Hiking with skis and boots up Convict Canyon 4/2
Check out the April-September runoff forecast from Edison/DWR:
Bishop Creek: 71% of normal
Rush Creek: 66% of normal
Lee Vining Creek: 60% of normal
Mill Creek: 52% of normal
Kern River: 41% of normal
Kaweah River: 52% of normal
Tule River: 31% of normal
What does this mean for us as backcountry skiers and snowboarders? Well, first of all, get it while you still can. Soon the roads will open and allow a nice wave of access to deeper snowpacks. But it won't last very long, at least not unless we have some sort of unlikely miracle event in May. Until then, target backcountry trips where the snow is, and that is pretty predictable these days.
Here is how I would describe where to find it: The best High Sierra snow coverage is currently located above 10,000 feet, North of the Palisades and just West of the Sierra Crest. The map below shows this graphically, where the green line and above is the approximate area of most snow, the yellow line and above represents marginal coverage, and the red line and above marks hiking terrain. (below the red line is considered foothills/valleys that are obviously snow free at this time)
|High Sierra relative snow coverage map, Tioga Pass to Mt. Whitney
Be strategic for the rest of the season in planning your ski outings. For example:
- Don't plan on descending below 9000' for very long anywhere in the range, unless you think it is worth the walking.
- Use roads like the one to South Lake or Onion Valley to get a high start.
- Consider carrying a light pair of walking shoes for long stretches of dirt.
- Wait until Tioga or Sonora Pass Roads open so you can start or finish up there.
- Re-route your Sierra High Route to Onion Valley instead of Shepherd Pass.
- Consider looping the Ritter Range High Tour back to Mammoth via the San Joaquin Ridge to avoid the long trail walk down to June Lake.
- Consider a high country basecamp trip instead of a point to point tour to maximize skiing and limit the difficulties of travel.
- Be flexible and wait for a good weather window so you don't add difficulties to the challenge of conditions.
- A good aspect of this touring season is that there will be plenty of access to open water and dry camping. You may be able to go a little lighter on cooking and shelter systems if you plan carefully and coordinate with stable weather.

For more than three decades, Ben Isaacs worked as a Pullman porter, one of the uniformed railway men who served first-class passengers traveling in luxurious sleeping cars — a much-coveted job for African Americans between the 1870s and late 1960s.
Isaacs, a charismatic centenarian who was believed to be the oldest surviving Pullman porter, died of kidney failure Wednesday at his home in Victorville, according to his brother, Andrew Isaacs. He was 107.

Hey now, friends! Today we want to expand upon a topic we've lightly touched before: Tonner Toys! We're gearing up for the launch of the debut project: the LittleMissMatched dolls!
Now, we know you've got tons of reasons to be excited: Primarily, we love Robert Tonner and everything he creates. He is, after all, an artist with a great vision, and he's got enough talent in his tiny pinky toe to bring it all to fruition. Secondarily, we love dolls in general… all dolls everywhere, and so it goes without saying that we will LOVE these dolls, just by association with the Tonner name. And finally, this line of LittleMissMatched dolls is whimsical, zany, and fun with a capital F.
But, still. We want to give you even MORE reasons to get pumped about this new line of dolls. So, we thought a little background on LittleMissMatched and the relationship with Tonner Toys would do the trick! You just wait and see. LittleMissMatched is super easy to LOVE! I dare you to disagree with me… 🙂
LittleMissMatched launched as a company in 2004, and began by selling bright and colorful, unmatched socks in wildly fun, mismatched patterns packaged in odd numbers for young girls and pre-teens. For the company's founders, Jonah Staw, Arielle Eckstut, and Jason Dorf, it all began as a funny commentary about the mystery of disappearing socks, and the single mismatch it leaves behind. They jokingly concluded that they could solve the problem by wearing socks that didn't match. Fun, right? Yep, we knew you'd love this! Plus, it's funny because it's true (thank you Karen Walker!).
LittleMissMatched started with a very simple mission: build a brand that is FUN, inspires CREATIVITY, embraces individual STYLE and celebrates self EXPRESSION. In our world, socks don't match– MATCHING is mundane — MIXING is MONUMENTAL and COLOR is cool. While we started with socks sold in odd numbers, we recognized that there's an entire universe out there who shares our passion for creativity and self expression — socks were just the beginning. From books to bedding, PJ's to pencil pouches and flip flops to furniture, we say, think "outside the socks" – You can be a kid forever. Be BOLD, FASHION is FUN.
"LittleMissMatched is about creativity and individual style," shares Andrew Arguiarro, VP Licensing & Sales. "Our dolls are designed to embody the LittleMissMatched brand and to inspire tweens to celebrate unique looks, styles and personalities."
Want to know more? Check out their awesome blog, and YouTube channel! Be sure to follow them on twitter (@LittleMissMatch) and Facebook!
Okay, now we love LittleMissMatched, but, how on earth did this project come about? Well, I'll tell you! It all began with the new dawning of Tonner Toys:
Hatched inside the offices of Tonner Doll Company, Tonner Toys is the brainchild of Robert Tonner, Jack Kralik, Jason Reilley, and a silent partner. The four are coordinating their efforts with boundless enthusiasm to make a splash into the mass-market world of toys with their premiere of the LittleMissMatched doll line.
Tonner Toy's Lead Product Creator, Jason Reilley, said that he immediately wanted to work with LittleMissMatched when Tonner Toys was first established in 2009. "I was inspired by their freedom of expression, and the whimsical nature of their products," said Reilley. "Also, I love their socks," he laughs.
Robert then sculpted the head and face of what became LittleMissMatched, and the rest is history.
What makes Tonner Toys special and unique from most other toy companies on the planet is our design-oriented standards. In other words, because we are more design focused, as opposed to marketing focused, we believe that makes for a superior product, both in design and quality.
And that was totally intentional! Tonner Toys wants to make a product with a distinct collectible feel, but at a toy price point. This fun-filled partnership between Tonner Toys and LittleMissMatched, this marriage made in Toyland, captures both the essence of LittleMissMatched's zany, fun, rainbow-bright world and the spirit and quality of Tonner's realm of collecting and play.
Now, onto the dolls themselves!
There will be four LittleMissMatched dolls available: Artsy Girl, Rock 'n' Roll Girl, Uptown Girl, and Sporty Girl. As reflected in their names, each doll has a distinct, unique personality, one that she is not afraid to express with her fashion sense. Standing at 15.25" tall, LittleMissMatched dolls are constructed out of the highest quality vinyl with multiple points of articulation for ease in dressing the dolls in their fashionably mismatched ensembles.
Additionally, Fashion Packs will be available, which include spunky separates, some of which are reversible for double the outfit options, and double the fun! Staying within the Little MissMatched theme of mismatching but coordinating elements in stripes, polka dots, stars, and other fun patterns, Fashion Packs include shoes and multiple pieces, in addition to the LittleMissMatched earmark of 3 mismatched socks for the child.
On August 29th, viewers will have a chance for one hour only to purchase an exclusive LMM Gift Set on QVC. The Gift Set will include a doll, outfit separates and a surprise for the child. The dolls will be hitting Toys R Us and LittleMissMatched stores in the fall of 2011.
Don't miss the super-fun campaign leading up to the launch, coming soon!

Database Mirroring
Our world is filled with magnificent, useful databases. Our cell phones connect to a distributed database of phone numbers, iphone and android apps usually connect to some sort of database, our contact list is a little mini-db. Myspace, facebook, and linked-in are social networking databases that improve social mobility for those who are willing to try. Most every website, blog, and forum are run by databases, and search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing are just databases of database-driven websites.
For useful database-driven services:
- Write initial database mirroring/dumping script
- Write incremental-update scripts
- Set and manage cronjob to update hourly, daily, or every other day
- Provide datasets and dataset diffs to public for free
- Provide datasets in easily-accessible, normalized database for member projects
- Build MySQL accessory to do ML class prediction on datasets
Structured Query Language was originally designed to be an end-user language. We have this trend of oversimplification and big-red-button pushing that often takes most of the power of these databases away from us. We can't run aggregate functions on a record-by-record web frontend. It's costly to rip an entire database record-by-record, but sometimes it must be done.
Cursorily search for a database-dump download on the website before you rape their bandwidth. Wikimedia offers database downloads, and web2.0 apps are likely to have APIs to facilitate ripping. Database dumps will be fantastic, but rarely available, and APIs are likely to be limited to avoid database ripping. You might need to resort to DOM Parsing.

If I could just send it
without putting a dent in it.

Jun 8, 2012 - In collaboration with the
California Academy of Sciences and Google Earth Outreach, we have
converted our A Global Water Story
planetarium presentation into a Google Earth-based short film and
interactive tour. The film is about the challenges to the
availability of freshwater on Earth, including climate change
and increasing demand due to population growth. However
people around the world are developing innovative ways to make
better use of existing water supplies. Learn about water
issues around the world, from Asia to the Middle East to North
America, and how sharing education, technologies, and approaches to
using water wisely can help us make the most of this limited
Here is the interactive tour for Google
Earth (you must have installed the freely available Google Earth on your
May 24, 2011 - The Worldviews Network sponsored
a community dialogue on A Global Water Story,
hosted by Bob Raynolds and myself. An audience filled the
Gates Planetarium to witness a presentation on water challenges in
the American West and throughout the world. Roughly a quarter
of the visitors stayed afterwards to engage in a public dialogue on
water issues, led by our colleague Nicole Seltzer from the Coloardo Foundation
for Water Education.
Feb 27, 2011 - The Worldviews Network is a new,
NOAA-funded nationwide collaboration of scientists, artists, and
educators developing best practices for using immersive virtual
environments for ecological literacy education using live
presentations, interactive scientific visualizations, and community
sustainability dialogues.
The Worldviews Network core team consists of representatives
from the DMNS, California Academy of Sciences, NOVA/WGBH in Boston,
The Elumenati, and the NOAA Climate Program Office.
The genesis behind the Worldviews Network is partially the
result of several different key phenomena:
The Worldviews Network uses a different approach, by combining
interactive real-time immersive visualizations that are possible
within modern digital planetariums, and a See-Know-Do
approach to create education that integrates visual, systems, and
design thinking, that allows audiences to visualize, comprehend,
and address complex issues from a whole systems perspective:
More information about the Worldviews Network will be upcoming
on this and the official site, www.worldviews.net.
March 8, 2011 - Computer-generated imagery can
be lovingly and photo-realistically rendered. The more
realistic the scene that is generated, the longer it usuallly
takes. For visual special effects in movies, this can be
minutes to hours per frame. However at the other extreme,
such imagery can be created so quickly that they can represent
virtual environments that a user can interact with. When this
is done so fast that the user doesn't notice any lag, you have
real-time graphics. This is what the video game
industry is built on and what allows us to navigate through
simulations of the known universe in the Gates Planetarium.
In 2001, I started work at DMNS in the SciViz group, and was
tasked to help build the software that would let us fly through the
Solar System, and eventually the rest of the Universe. At the
time, there was nothing else out there that could do what we wanted
the Gates Planetarium to be capable of. We had to develop the
software ourselves.
Luckily at the start of the 21st century, graphics hardware had
progressed to the point where realistic full-sized flight
simulators could be built (often for the military) using multiple
computer projectors and banks of specialized graphics
supercomputers. The modern digital planetarium would take
advantage of these advances in simulation, in how imagery was
generated and projected, as well as how that imagery was generated
to begin with.
The new Gates Planetarium would have stadium-style seats, with
everyone looking in the same forward direction. The dome and
the seats would be raked (or angled) by 25 degrees, to give a more
immersive feel. Eleven massive computer projectors from the
Barco company would be aimed at the inside of the hemispherical
display. Each would tile one-eleventh of the dome's
surface. When properly aligned, the eleven fragment images
would tile together to give one (more or less) seamless fulldome
The visuals sent to the projectors originated from an Onyx 3800
graphics supercomputer, made by Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI).
At the time, purchasing one of these behemoths was the only way to
create our virtual reality simulation of the known universe with
the Cosmic Atlas software, which was developed in-house at
DMNS by the SciViz team. Chief developer and head genius on
this project was Nigel Jenkins, a brilliant graphics programmer,
lured from England. I worked on the scientific programming --
ensuring that each star, planet, and moon were in their correct
place. Nigel wrapped it all together into an effective suite
of visualization code, all the more impressive when you consider
how few people were actually responsible for writing it.
By the time the Gates Planetarium opened in the summer of 2003,
Cosmic Atlas was a usable simulation platform, not only in
the planetarium but out in the Space Odyssey exhibit, where it
drove the Orbits Table. It also had a show production
interface that allowed the SciViz team to create the Cosmic
Journey show which premiered in the digital Gates Planetarium
when it re-opened.
Since then, the computer graphics industry, driven by Moore's
Law, has evolved by leaps and bounds, and the Gates Planetarium has
changed with the times as well. The SGI Onyx is no longer in
our computer room, having been replaced by a bank of smaller,
sleeker, and faster machines. Graphics processors now
available from companies like Nvidia and ATI provide more
visualization crunching power than any of the "graphics pipes" from
our original Onyx. Even Cosmic Atlas has gone away,
and replaced with the much more versatile Uniview that
runs on our planetarium visualization PC clusters as well as the
computer driving the Orbits Table in Space Odyssey.
But the original digital planetarium legacy remains. The
Cosmic Journey show has gone through four iterations now,
incorporating revised content with each new edition. There
are still surviving sequences within that show that were created
with the old Cosmic Atlas software. Our experience
with real-time software development has resulted in new research,
collaborations, projects, and funding opportunities, from ALIVE to
the Worldviews Network, and countless other projects in
between. That's quite an impressive record for something that
we started building more than ten years ago on computer hardware
that would be quite antiquated compared to what we have today.
March 8, 2011 - This evening program takes
place in DMNS' Gates Planetarium, where we use the immersive
visualization platform Uniview to turn the planetarium back on
ourselves. Instead of looking out into space, we look down
back onto Earth from a space-based perspective, simulating to some
extent what astronauts would see.
Most of the Digital Earth lectures have been created in
collaboration with and given by Bob Raynolds, DMNS Research
Associate in Geology. We have also brought on guest speakers,
such as Chief Curator Kirk Johnson and Curator of Paleontology Ian

Welcome to The Random Quanta. I was trained as an
astrophysicist but since starting at DMNS, I have spent much of my
time learning about and working with immersive
visualizations. I still have a deep interest in astronomy,
astrophysics, cosmology, and physics and you will find postings on
those topics. However you will also find info, links, and
musings on visualizations, computer graphics, the psychology of
immersive displays, art, astronomy education research, topics in
formal and informal learning, climate and other types of global
change, and many other related (and not-so-related) topics.
When you expand the accordion headings listed on the left side

Justin William Wenger, age 15, of Tecumseh passed away Nov. 27, 2013.
Justin was born April 9, 1998, in Ypsilanti, Mich., the son of Jeremy and Angela (Rorabacher) Wenger. Justin had the best 15 years any young man could ask for — he had lots of good times with family and friends. From the age of 3 until now he really enjoyed fishing, hunting, karate, baseball, football, dirt bike riding and listening to all kinds of music. Justin grew up in Tecumseh until the ninth grade. He was a fun-spirited, outgoing and easy to get along with kid. Justin made friends wherever he was and whoever he was with.

The Peterborough Examiner, a daily paper published in the city of Peterborough, Canada, devoted a place to the news item titled "Muslim Creationists on Tour in France against Darwin" on the 22nd of May, 2011. In the item, it was noted that Mr. Adnan Oktar caused great panic in France first with the Atlas of Creation and now with conferences about the "Evolution Deceit and the Fact of Creation", with the following words:
Four years after they first frightened France, Muslim creationists are back touring the country preaching against evolution and claiming the Koran predicted many modern scientific discoveries. Followers of Harun Yahya, a well-financed Turkish publisher of Islamic books, held four conferences at Muslim centers in the Paris area at the weekend with more scheduled in six other cities.
Harun Yahya, one of the most prolific publishers in the Muslim world, gave proudly secularist France a scare in January 2007 by mass-mailing thousands of free copies of his "Atlas of Creation" to schools and libraries across the country…
… Harun Yahya has developed a series of books that have helped spread this view in recent years beyond the Middle East, including to France, whose five million Muslims make up Europe's largest Islamic minority.

Azimuth Resources Limited - Corporate Update
Feb 24, 2013, 06:40 ET
- Scoping/PEA study of West Omai Project completed;
- West Omai Project to be progressed through to Pre-Feasibility Study, targeted for late in 2013;
- Exploration drilling continues.
PERTH, Australia, Feb. 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Following the appointment of Mr Russell Clark as CEO of Azimuth Resources Limited (ASX andTSX: AZH) (the "Company" or "Azimuth") in January 2013, the Company is pleased to provide an update on its overall strategy for 2013.
During 2012 the Company continued exploration drilling at its West Omai project (Smarts and Hicks deposits) in Guyana, South America. The Company upgraded its mineral resource estimates at West Omai in February, 2013, announcing an inferred mineral resource of 16.7 million tonnes @ 3.1g/t Au for estimated contained gold of 1.65 million ounces.
In addition during 2012, the Company undertook preliminary engineering studies and metallurgical testwork at the West Omai prospects. The work included:
- Land tenure verification;
- Preliminary geotechnical assessment to determine rock characteristics;
- Baseline environmental and social studies;
- Detailed metallurgical testwork (Ammtec):
- Comminution testwork undertaken determining that the bond work index of primary ore is 15-18 kWh per tonne, demonstrating medium hardness
- Au recoveries (overall) ~92% @ 75 microns
- Gravity Au recovery: Smarts ~50%, Hicks ~30%;
- Preliminary plant & infrastructure design (Mintrex):
- 1.5 million tonne per annum plant designed and costed
- Gravity and CIL circuits
- Tailings, power supply, camp and other infrastructure designed and costed
The Board of Azimuth is pleased to advise shareholders that it is encouraged with the results of the resource upgrade and the engineering work to date.
Strategy for 2013
The Board of Azimuth has agreed with Azimuth CEO, Mr Clark, that the strategy for the Company during 2013 will be as follows:
- Progress engineering studies on the West Omai projects to Pre-Feasibility stage by the end of 2013 with work to include:
- Infill drilling of the Smarts inferred resource with the aim of upgrading a section of it to an indicated resource;
- Further geotechnical studies and mine design;
- Further metallurgical studies with the aim of improving potential recoveries; and
- Studies and applications necessary for the potential development of the site.
- Continue with exploration drilling in the West Omai tenements. The tenement package remains highly prospective with a number of high priority targets which will be drilled with the aim of increasing the resource inventory.
- Continue exploration in the East Omai tenements which are highly prospective but which have had minimal exploration to date.
Mr Clark said: "I was appointed specifically to develop the West Omai projects and the strategy we presented to the Board and which has been accepted, is aimed at allowing us to progress these prospects. Whilst we are clearly focused on building shareholder value through the development of existing prospects, our strategy allows for the exploitation of any additional potential exploration success."
Russell Clark
Chief Executive Officer
Competent Person's Statement
The scientific and technical information in this news release is based on information compiled by Mr. Richard Monti who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr. Monti is a Director of Azimuth Resources Ltd. Mr. Monti has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' and a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Monti consents to the inclusion in this news release of such information and approves such information in the form and context in which it appears.
Information that relates to Mineral Resources at the West Omai Gold Project is based on a resource estimate that has been audited by Mr Aaron Green, who is a full time employee of RungePincockMinarco Limited. Mr Green is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG) and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' and as a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101. Mr Green has more than 5 years' experience in the field of Exploration Results and of resource estimation in general. Mr Green consents to the inclusion of the mineral resource estimate information in the form and context in which it appears.
For a description of Azimuth's data verification process, quality assurance and quality control measures, the effective date of the mineral resource estimates contained herein, details of the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resources set out in this report and the extent to which the estimate of mineral resources set out herein may be materially affected by any known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues, readers are directed to the technical report entitled "Technical Report - West Omai Gold Project, Guyana" dated May 30, 2012.
Cautionary Note Regarding the scoping study completed during 2012.
This work is preliminary in nature, and has been applied to inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorised as mineral reserves. Further study work will be required prior to a Pre-Feasibility Study being completed, and there is no certainty that any results will be realised.
The outcome of preliminary economic analysis at the Company's West Omai prospects cannot be ascertained unless and until the inferred mineral resource is upgraded to a higher category of mineralisation pursuant to the JORC Code (which cannot be guaranteed).

When it comes to cosmetics, Israelis are just as enamored of their skincare and beauty regimes as are most other Western nationalities. Perhaps even more so; after all, this is a country where the sun shines for much of the year, wreaking havoc on skin, whether it's on your face or your feet.
And so, Israeli companies produce their own antidotes to the harsh Mediterranean sun, creating products that have ended up in the global drugstore because they're just so good.
True, anything made with minerals from the Dead Sea, whether by Ahava or any other company, tends to win the most accolades.
But don't take our word for it, trust the experts. ISRAEL21c consulted with local cosmeticians, beauty bloggers, editors and skincare experts to get their take on which products deliver results.
Jerusalem cosmetician Avishag Zakkai has been using Gigi face cream for her discerning skin-care clientele for the past 10 years. "It really penetrates the skin and keeps it supple and moist," says Zakkai.
While Gigi Cosmetic Laboratories is one of Israel's smaller cosmetic companies, it has a fairly long history, having been established back in 1957 by Eliezer Landau. Gigi's line of 400 skincare products are not available in pharmacies, but can usually be found in cosmetics studios and spas.
2. Anna Lotan's pineapple scrub
Israeli feet take a beating, given the long summers of wearing sandals and flip-flops, not to mention the salty Mediterranean Sea, which wears away at the skin on heels and toes. Anna Lotan's pineapple scrub is "the best antidote" to rough, dry skin, according to Zakkai, who also ministers to the feet.
Made by Anna Lotan Bio-Cosmetic Laboratories, which manufactures professional skin care products for licensed skin care professionals, as well as a line of retail products, the company specializes in formulas for dry, dehydrated, oily, acne-prone and sensitive skin types.
Anna Lotan, an active esthetician and teacher, puts her name behind the products, all of which are environmentally friendly and carry the PETA symbol.
3. Ahava Butter Salt body scrub
Among the beauty product aficionados, blogger Product Girl likes the Ahava body scrub Butter Salt, from the Pure Spa line.
Instead of the usual "oily, coarse salt scrubs" that are "so unappealing," Ahava's body scrub is dry, and requires a small amount of water before being rubbed into your skin for optimum moisturization and exfoliation.
"The scent is soothing – Mandarin and Cedarwood – and clings lightly to the skin. By the time your scrubbing is complete, the product has evolved into a lotion consistency, sealing in moisture." She tells readers to check it out at any Ulta store.
4. Sabon's Lemon Loofah soap
The bloggers at Product Girl also like Sabon, the Israeli bath product, skincare and soap shop now found in Chicago, New York and Boston, with natural offerings made from Dead Sea ingredients using a secret Australian recipe.
Christina's personal treat is the Lemon Loofah soap, made of glycerin and containing actual loofah bits for an easy exfoliation process that invigorates and doesn't strip moisture from the skin. With 50 locations worldwide, check out their website for a location near you.
According to SELF Magazine's 2009 Health Beauty Award issue, the Ahava Hydration Masque is the best leave-on treatment mask on the market. It "intensely nourishes" very dry skin, boosts elasticity and restores skin's natural texture.
The mask is made with Ahava's patented Mineral Skin Osmoter, and is approved for sensitive skin and all skin types. Instructions say it should be applied to clean, dry skin up to three times a week, or left on overnight for more intensive treatment, with no need to rinse off afterwards.
6. Ahava Sun Protection Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 30
The third Ahava product on the list is Ahava Sun Protection Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 30, considered the best mineral sunscreen by Self Magazine Beauty Awards 2008.
According to the judges, the sun block "soaked in faster than other chalky formulas," and with aloe vera to calm sun-exposed skin, as well as minerals to protect against free radical damage, it deserves all the accolades it gets.
7. Yarok's Green with Envy Shampoo and Conditioner
At SugarShock Beauty Blog, where writer and Elle Canada beauty editor Kristen Vinakmens reviews the latest "under-the-radar" and cult beauty products, Yarok's Green with Envy Shampoo and Conditioner received high marks.
YAROK Haircare was created by Mordechai Alvow, an Israeli who divides his time between Israel and the US, who wanted to produce a botanically based line of restorative hair care products.
Granted, they're not made in Israel, but they are created by an Israeli who has used his Israeli knowledge of traditional, nutrient-rich oils to create a line of organic products. Vinakmens loves the floral/botanical packaging, but she especially likes the "invigoratingly aromatic" shampoo and conditioner that cleanses and conditions but doesn't coat the hair with gunk.
8. Sabon's Organic Hand Cream
SugarShock's other Israeli favorite is Sabon's Organic Hand Cream, from its organic line of skincare products approved by leading organic authority EcoCert. Free of parabens and sulfates, the face and body products nurture skin with extracts from the Swiss Alps.
The Sabon Organic Hand Cream is a salve rich in olive and macadamia oils, shea butter, aloe and vitamin E "that nourishes hands without feeling greasy." And like all Sabon products, "the smell is divine": A rejuvenating lemony/botanical smell that's uplifting but won't overpower any existing fragrance you're wearing, says Vinakmens.
9. Sea of Life Mineral Butter with Fig Extract
Kristen Kelly, creator of the Beauty Addict blog, is, well, addicted to her tub of heavy-duty Sea of Life Mineral Butter with Fig Extract.
It's an extremely rich body cream packed with mineral water, Dead Sea mud, oils and extracts that sinks right into your skin, despite its thickness, says Kelly, who reports that she has been "a believer" in Dead Sea mud for years.
It's not cheap, but Kelly promises that "your skin will thank you in the morning." Sea of Life is another Dead Sea-focused cosmetics firm, much smaller than Ahava, and actually based in the town of Lod in central Israel, far from the salty waters of the Dead Sea.
10. Obey Your Body peeling gel
Finally, "beauty generalist and pop culture scientist" Amber recommends another Dead Sea product, but from the unlikely venue of one of the kiosks staffed by young Israelis to be found in numerous American malls.
Her pick is Obey Your Body, which includes a "phenom" body/hand lotion as well as peeling gel about which she is "wildly impressed."
This is a blogger who has been to Israel (on Birthright), loves Israelis and found that her case of eczema disappeared after a dip in the Dead Sea, so she may be biased. But her evidence can't be refuted.

LONDON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - An international grand prix circuit for elite athletes with disabilities will be launched in April by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), according to a report in The Independent on Sunday.
The newspaper said the IPC's version of the able-bodied Diamond League will comprise eight meetings at venues around the world with two, including the final, to be held in Britain.
"It's a massive development," Sophia Warner, the 2012 Paralympian in her new role as commercial director of UK Athletics, was quoted as saying.
Aled Davies, the Welshman who won discus gold and a shot put bronze in the F42 category at last year's London Olympics, added: "It's incredible news. This is just what we need."
The IPC was not immediately available for comment.

Pizza by Gabriele Bonci
As easy as it is to pick up a pre-made ball of pizza dough from Trader Joe's, sometimes a pizza lover needs to go all out. And if you're going to go all out, following the instructions of Italian pizza master Gabriele Bonci is definitely the way to go. There's an attention to detail in this book — the kind of flour, the way the dough is stretched, the toppings that get chosen — that you don't often see in cookbooks devoted to this humble, much loved weeknight staple.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Gabriele Bonci
• Who published it: Rizzoli
• Number of recipes: Over 80
• Recipes for right now: Potato Pizza, Pizza Stuffed with Broccolini and Mortadella, Pizza with Chicory, Pizza with Winter Vegetables or "Dry Minestrone," Crostino with Teleggio and Cauliflower, Pizza with Cabbage and Pork, Onion Pizza, Pizza with Leeks Gruyère and Lots of Nutmeg
• Major Takeaways:
A good quarter of this book is devoted to the art of the pizza dough. Besides covering ingredients and tools in great detail, there are step-by-step instructions with illustrations on mixing the dough, shaping the pizza, and making the various starters and sourdoughs used in the doughs. I have friends (and a father) who have, by all outward appearances, made perfect pizza crust their life pursuit — this part of the book is for them and those of you who are like them.
The pizza recipes themselves are pretty unusual and eclectic, particularly for our American palate. After the requisite recipes for margarita-style pizza and tomato pizza, Bonci launches right into pizzas with such diverse and surprising ingredients as fresh figs, octopus, spears of roasted cardoon, tripe, persimmons, and chestnuts. The recipes are organized seasonally, and while some of the ingredients might seem fancy or exotic, all of the pizzas are easy to throw together with very little extra work.
I am particularly intrigued by the stuffed pizzas. The toppings and the pizza base for these recipes are prepared separately. To assemble, you pull the baked rectangle of pizza apart like splitting a giant pita and layer the "toppings" inside, sandwich-style. More crunchy crust in every bit? I'm totally on board with that.
• Who would enjoy this book? People who have quested long and far for pizza perfection, pizza lovers who ready to push themselves beyond mozzarella and basil, Italiophiles craving true Italian pizza

Column: Fun trip to NYC may be our last
Former managing editor of several community newspapers, including the Times papers, Kelly is chief of the central design desk for Community Newspapers and the Portland Tribune, and he contributes a regular column.
Three nights in New York City, it turns out, can be enough.
I worried before we left, late last month, that we might be short-changing ourselves with a four-day trip to the center of the civilized world even IF we couldnt afford to go at all, which we really couldnt.
But nope, I was wrong. In this case, three nights was plenty. We returned exhausted and broke just the way any New York trip should end.
But lets back up.
This was our first venture to the Big Apple, but it was one we really had to make, because it involved a very special performance at Carnegie Hall.
The big attraction, for many of us, was an 18-minute cycle of six songs by composer Jonathan Leshnoff, sung by soprano Jessica Rivera. The piece was commissioned by my cousin Sandra, in celebration of the life of her daughter Monica, who died at age 38, in August of 2003. Monica Songs was co-commissioned by a group of family and friends called The Friends of Monica as well as the Carnegie Hall Corporation, and a good many of us were on hand for the piece that included material from the Book of Ruth, Emily Dickinson, E.E. Cummings and letters from Monica and her mother.
The performance was soul-stirringly excellent as was the rest of the hour and a half program and did not disappoint any of us there to honor our friends memory. But other experiences teamed up to make it even more special.
For starters, on our first full day, we took a six-hour bus tour at the urging of my cousin Dennis wife Michele. We covered pretty much all of Manhattan, from Battery Park to Harlem, with stops at The Riverside Church and Grants Tomb, lunch in Little Italy as well as a harbor tour from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
Thanks to our exuberant tour guide, Serge (who sounded exactly like Christopher Walken with a Russian accent), we saw (and heard about) the World Trade Center, Rockefeller Center, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine (the largest church in the United States), the birthplace of Teddy Roosevelt, the Apollo Theater, Greenwich Village, the American Museum of Natural History, Fifth Avenue, Times Square, the United Nations and all four sides of the 21 1/2-mile-long Central Park.
That night at Carnegie Hall, we told friends how wed seen the doorway where John Lennon was shot (and which Yoko continues to walk through every day), the house Jackie Onassis lived in, the fire stations that lost most of their firefighters on 9/11, the Charging Bull of Wall Street and more than one reminder of Hurricane Sandy, which occurred exactly one year before our Oct. 29 tour.
Other spare moments in the big city found us spending a whole day in the Museum of Modern Art (where we even returned in the evening to watch the most boring movie either of us has ever seen: Hotel Monterey by Chantal Akerman, a film easily outdone by watching paint dry). We also took a long walk in Central Park, taking time to sit on a bench and soak up the sights, of strolling people under the changing leaves, and even paused long enough to have cocktails in one of those subterranean Midtown bars, where the other person who lives at our house had her favorite: a Makers Mark Manhattan which, of course, I photographed.
Im not afraid to brag about the fact that we took no taxis or limos. From the moment we landed at La Guardia Airport, we rode only buses and subways or walked. Hey, we figured, weve done this in Italy and France, so why not in our own country, where we know the language and even have some of the right money?
True, we got lost a couple of times usually because of not-quite-right guidance from New Yorkers occasionally disembarking in places we really didnt want to be. But I must say, we encountered nothing but friendly, helpful people, whether on the street, on the subway or in places of businesses.
And for two rubes from the coast range, that was a pleasant surprise.
Do you mind me asking where you folks are from? one burly guy in Harlem asked, after pointing us in the direction of the closest subway station.
Oregon, we both said in unison.
He shook his head and laughed. I dont mean any disrespect, he said, but I took you for being Australian.
That made us both smile. I figured I reminded him of Crocodile Dundee, another famous visitor to Manhattan.
Something that no one who visits New York City can quite shake is the price of everything there. We booked a place through airbnb, an apartment we would share with a young Chinese guy named Patrick, allegedly for less than $100, though we havent seen the actual charges on our credit card statement yet. In Patricks tiny apartment on West 56th Street (near MoMA, Central Park, etc.), we occupied a corner containing a bunk bed, a card table and a chair. Surrounding the whole thing was one of those privacy curtains like they have in hospitals. But hey, Patrick was very nice, we didnt see any bugs or rodents, and we werent there to sit around, so we didnt.
We never saw a sandwich or a burger on a restaurant menu that cost less than $13. That didnt surprise us after Serge explained that Manhattan has 220,000 millionaires.
Its fairly clear to us now that we may never get back to New York City, but were glad we did once. It was great fun, and we lived to tell about it.

Law School Admissions / no word from HLS = rejection at this point?« on: April 06, 2008, 06:07:10 PM »
I applied in january, went complete in February. haven't heard a word from them yet. i know they stopped interview calls this week. does this mean i don't even have a chance for a waitlist? safe to assume flat-out rejection at this point?

Wow, 9261, you are right! And it is even crazier that it is random which ones get to change their prices, totally insane. Clearly the New Classical RBC models are much superior with their modeling of market power of firms to figure out which ones are more likely to have sticly prices in contrast with the ones in the more competitive markets that do not have sticky prices.
NC RBC models are definitely way more realistic with their well-specified exogenous shocks and their assumptions of rational expectations. Every piece of evidence we have from surveyst to experiments to just plain old common sense tells us that everybody has rational expectations!

Based on information provided by the NCAA through its Academic Progress Rate scores coach Frank Bennett and his Lady Bisons have the top score in the area among women's basketball teams and the highest score overall in the area.
Bennett's Lady Bisons have a score of 992 for the past six years, starting with 2003 and ending with 2009.
This marks the first time the NCAA has released APRs for individual coaches.
"It is good to see that we rank ahead of all the teams in the midstate area," Bennett said. "We were ranked the highest overall in the midstate. We finished one point ahead of Belmont's basketball team."
The APR score is determined by giving one point to an athlete for each semester he or she remains academically eligible. Each athlete also earns a point for each semester they remain at the school or for graduating. A final team score is determined through the use of a mathematical formula.
A perfect score is 1,000 points. In 2004-2005, 2006-2007 and 2008-2009 the Lady Bisons compiled perfect scores. The lowest score is 980 from 2007-2008.
Bennett gives much of the credit to his players and the faculty.
"We have the players set academic goals for each class," Bennett said. "We emphasize trying to get help through tutors if they have problems with a class. We try to monitor their progress which a lot of coaches do.
"A lot of it is just recruiting students who emphasize academics and want to do well. Lipscomb is a pretty rigorous school academically and we want to find players who can thrive here. We also have a team approach that everybody has to do their part to get awards like this."
One area that can also have an effect on the total score is the retention of student-athletes.
"We haven't had a whole lot of turnover," Bennett said. "If someone leaves and they are still eligible that helps as well. "One thing with academics and retention is that the faculty does a great job of really working with the students in providing help and resources for them.
A lot of students want to stay here because of the family atmosphere and the quality of the school in general. I think that says a lot for both the school and the faculty."
The Lady Bisons ranked ninth nationally in NCAA Division I on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association 2009-2010 Top 25 Team Honor Roll. That announcement was made in July.
Teams are honored for maintaining the highest grade point averages for the entire season based on the nomination submitted by WBCA-member head coaches.
The Lady Bisons compiled a 3.452 average. They were close behind DePaul in eighth place with a 3.455 average.
This was the first time the Lady Bisons have been honored by the WBCA in the top 25.
Lipscomb was the only Atlantic Sun team to be honored.
"We have been proud of our student-athletes," Bennett said. "We have also been recognized the last three years for being in the top 10 percent in the APR for women's basketball.
"Hopefully, we can build a tradition. We know what we have to shoot for to achieve that. We had a strong group of freshmen last year and that kind of put us over the top."

(GREENBELT, Md.) — NASA researchers can now boast they sent one of most famous faces in history into the cosmos. It's 240,000 miles each way; they did it with a laser.
Engineers at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland successfully beamed an image of the Mona Lisa from the earth to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a spacecraft that has been orbiting the moon since 2009. They said it was the first demonstration of laser communication with a ship in deep space.
A black and white version of Leonardo's painting was transmitted, pixel by pixel, to the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) on the spacecraft. The image was sent using the same laser pulses sent to track LOLA's position.
"This is the first time anyone has achieved one-way laser communication at planetary distances," said LOLA's principal investigator, David Smith of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in a statement. "In the near future, this type of simple laser communication might serve as a backup for the radio communication that satellites use. In the more distant future, it may allow communication at higher data rates than present radio links can provide."
While lasers are used to track the orbit of the spacecraft precisely enough to determine variations in the moon's gravity, this successful transmission suggests the possibility of being able to "send data to a spacecraft at a low data rate," Xiaoli Sun, a LOLA scientist at NASA Goddard, told ABC News.
"In the future, we will use lasers instead of microwaves to communicate in deep space — to do it better, faster, and with smaller equipment," Sun said.
Sun said over a four-month period, scientists sent random numbers via laser to the lunar orbiter. Then they tried some simple images, and finally, Leonardo's famous painting. Sun said it took the team about ten tries to get it right; turbulence in Earth's atmosphere interfered with the signals.
"We have paved the way for a future lunar laser communication demonstration that is going to be launched later this year," Sun said. "We provided proof that you can do it, and you can do it to the moon."
So why the Mona Lisa?
"At the end, we just like to pick something that's more real so it can give us a feeling about what information was sent, and what was lost due to turbulence," Sun said. "One of the guys on our team suggested it because it was a familiar image with lots of subtleties, so we can see instantly how much information was sent."

I've had pencils in my hand ever since I can remember, and as a child, colouring in books was my favourite activity. I've since graduated to calligraphy, and dabbling with various paints, pastels, charcoal, etc. I also like to play with paper, recycling things and making collages. This is a record of my projects in recent years.

June challenge.
The theme for Sketchbook Challenge in June is Urban Sketching. I was a bit puzzled by this until I had a look at the examples, where I saw that artists had sketched their environments (many interpretations of this!). I don't know if I'm going to have time to do much sketching this month, so for my contribution to the Challenge Flickr site, I posted my sketches of the Eltham Trestle bridge and the house on the river in Warrandyte, which I did in April and May, and posted on this blog.

Sunday, Feb. 9
6 p.m. Dispatch requested an officer call a man about a possible child abuse case. Upon the officer's contact with the man at his residence he told the officer that he believed his son was being abused his sons mother. The man said he has joint custody of his son and he gets him every other week. He said when he picked him up from his mother earlier he noticed he had a bruise under his left eye. The man said he asked his son how he got the bruise and he said that his mommy hit him. The man also told the officer that his mother-in-law also heard his son state that his mother hit him. The officer looked at the boy and noticed a small bruise that was fading below his left eye. The officer asked the boy if he could tell him what happened to his eye. The boy put his head down and stated his mom hit him. The boy was 2 years old and it was difficult to talk to him. The officer contacted the boy's mother at the station. The woman said her son was playing when he fell and hit his eye on the bathroom counter. She said she would never hit her child and that she believes her son's dad told the police that she hit him was because he did not want her to get custody of him. The officer contacted the man and told him what happened, the man thanked him for finding out what happened to his son.
Monday, Feb. 10
10:16 p.m. Dispatch requested an officer respond to a resident for an intoxicated individual who had a shot a shotgun in the house. Upon arrival the officer contacted the man that shot the gun. The man said that he was watching a French film and his girlfriend began stomping on the ceiling of his room from her room. He said he grabbed his shotgun and pointed it at the air vent in the ceiling and shot one round in an attempt to get her to stop. The officer and his backup had to carry the man down two flights of stairs because he was resisting arrest. They placed the man in the back of the patrol vehicle. The officer then spoke with the woman, who said she went to bed and heard the man start to watch TV or listen to music very loudly. She said she stomped on the floor because that was a sign to let him know that she was ready for bed. She said he wouldn't turn the volume down so she continued to stomp on the floor, heard a gunshot and called 911. The man was charged with prohibited use of a weapon, reckless endangerment and domestic violence.

From Blessed Pius IX's solemn declaration of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854 to Pope Benedict XVI's moving homilies during his pilgrimages to Lourdes (2008) and Fatima (2010), the popes of the past century-and-a-half have enriched the Church with their Marian piety and teaching.
Pope Francis is part and parcel of this tradition of Marian popes. After Pope St. John Paul II died in 2005, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio wrote that in 1985, seven years before he was ordained a bishop, John Paul's example had inspired him to begin to pray all of the mysteries of the Rosary daily.
The day after he was elected pope in March 2013, Pope Francis visited the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome in order to entrust his papacy to the Blessed Mother.
In May 2013, Pope Francis wrote a letter commemorating the 600th anniversary of the discovery of the statue of the Madonna della Libera (Our Lady of the Free), which is venerated in a shrine in the south-central Italian town of Cercemaggiore. While plowing his field, a farmer discovered a terracotta pot in which the statue was hidden, and a spring gushed forth. Pope Francis wrote that "many marvels and many healings ... confirmed and increased the faith of the inhabitants."
That same month, the pope also wrote a letter marking the 400th anniversary of the arrival of a Marian icon in Budslau, the national Marian shrine in the Eastern European nation of Belarus. In his letter, the pope said that this "most beautiful image of the Holy Mother of God" is "renowned for graces."
"Having been placed in the wooden church, the icon from the very beginning was honored by common faithful people; it became famous for its miracles and mercies," the Church in Belarus states on its website. "The first miracle was recorded in 1617 when a 5-year-old boy, Yazafat Tyshkevich, who later became a famous Carmelite father, regained the ability to see."
In July, Pope Francis made a pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazil's principal Marian shrine, "to ask Mary our Mother for the success of World Youth Day and to place at her feet the life of the people of Latin America."
"Anyone who is a man or a woman of hope — the great hope which faith gives us — knows that even in the midst of difficulties, God acts and he surprises us," Pope Francis preached. "The history of this shrine is a good example: (In 1717) three fishermen, after a day of catching no fish, found something unexpected in the waters of the Parnaíba River — an image of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. Whoever would have thought that the site of a fruitless fishing expedition would become the place where all Brazilians can feel that they are children of one mother?"
In September, Pope Francis visited the Shrine of Our Lady of Bonaria (Fair Winds) on the island of Sardinia. In 1370, a case containing cargo from a storm-tossed ship washed ashore; the case contained a statue of Our Lady that has been venerated ever since.
"I wish to entrust you to Mary, Our Lady of Bonaria," the pope said to the faithful. "But in this moment I think of all the Marian Shrines of Sardinia: Your land has a strong bond with Mary, a bond that you express in your devotions and your culture. May you ever be children of Mary and of the Church, and may you show it with your life, following the example of the saints!"
On Oct. 13, the anniversary of the miracle of the sun by Our Lady of Fátima, Pope Francis consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. "Blessed Virgin Mary of Fátima, with renewed gratitude for your motherly presence we join in the voice of all generations that call you blessed," he prayed. "Accept with the benevolence of a mother this act of entrustment that we make in faith today, before this your image, beloved to us."
In April, Pope Francis twice referred to the apparitions of Our Lady of Kibeho in Rwanda. Beginning in 1981, Our Lady began appearing to three high school students and asked them to urge everyone to pray to prevent a terrible war. The number of alleged seers eventually grew; in 2001, Bishop Augustin Misago of Gikongoro approved the apparitions that continued through 1983.
"The Mother of Jesus wished to appear in your country to several children, reminding them of the efficacy of fasting and of prayer, especially the recitation of the Rosary," Pope Francis told the bishops of Rwanda on April 3.
Three days later, Pope Francis told the crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square for his Sunday Angelus address that "I invoke upon the whole of the beloved Rwandan nation the motherly protection of Our Lady of Kibeho ... and I invite all of you now to pray to the Madonna, Our Lady of Kibeho."

HARTSVILLE, S.C. –Coker College men's soccer player Brendan McCarron has been named the 2013 SAC Men's Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the league announced today.
The SAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year award is presented annually to one student-athlete in each of the conference's championship sports, and is voted on by the league's Faculty Athletic Representatives Committee.
"Brendan is a thoroughly deserving winner of the SAC Student-Athlete of the Year award," said head men's soccer coach Paul Leese. "Since his arrival at Coker, his dedication to soccer and his studies has been exemplary. What has impressed me most, however, has been his maturity and selflessness. Brendan is a true team player who brings out the best in others. We will lose a great leader when he graduates this spring."
On the field, McCarron, a defender and team captain, tallied one assist while playing in 16 games. He anchored a defense that led the SAC in team shutouts and gave up the third-fewest goals in the conference. In October, McCarron was named to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-District men's soccer team as a first-team selection.
McCarron is a senior biology major and boasts a 3.7 grade-point average. He is a member of Coker's Enactus team - a community of student, academic and business leaders committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to transform lives and shape a better, more sustainable world.
McCarron was also named to the academic all-conference team and presidential honor roll in 2012, both earned while Coker was a member of Conference Carolinas.
A native of Tampa, Fla., McCarron is the son of Kevin and Christine McCarron.
This is the third consecutive year that a Coker men's soccer player has won a conference scholar-athlete of the year award. McCarron is the first to win the award in the SAC, while James Sweeney '13 won the award in 2011 and 2012 when Coker was a member of Conference Carolinas.

6th Annual Easter Passion Play
Top HeadlinesDate: March 30, 2009
Contact: email@example.com
Website: www.passionplay.andrews.edu
Phone: 269-471-8360
Easter celebrations have never been more life-changing. Join Andrews University for the sixth annual Easter Passion Play on Saturday, April 11, for the experience of a lifetime: an interactive indoor/outdoor walk-through play depicting the Passion of Christ.
Visitors will step back in time as they experience the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of the ancient Middle East during the time of Christ. Crowd-favorites include a marketplace setting with live animals, shops and food samples. Each rotation will travel to seven scenes across the campus of Andrews University, literally following in the footsteps of Christ during the hours leading up to and including his crucifixion. The event culminates with a spiritually inspiring indoor resurrection scene. Visitors are invited to stop by the Hospitality Center following the play for hot or cold drinks, a chance to pray with a volunteer and a special Kid's Corner.
First held in 2003, the Easter Passion Play was created under the direction of Pastor Ron Whitehead, executive director of the Center for Youth Evangelism at the Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary. With the help of hundreds of community and University volunteers, the event ministers to thousands of visitors each year. Richard Parke, who graduated from Andrews University in 2005, is this year's event director.
Performances will take place in 30-minute increments. The first rotation begins at 9 a.m. and the last at 6 p.m., with Spanish showings at 3 and 5:30 p.m. The event is free-of-charge, but reservations are required. The event is handicapped accessible and strollers are recommended. To place an online reservation or to learn more about the event, visit www.passionplay.andrews.edu or call 269-471-8360.

This is a very attractive paper, I used it for the first page in an album for a Texas friend. I mounted one photo in the center and used a small paper arrow to point out the town of interest and it looks great.
Paper is high quality, details are clear and sharp. Makes a great background for cards
Very nice
I expected the image in the background to be more distinct but the pages will still work great as a background filler that draws attention to the piece in the foreground that is papered with the other pages I bought.

I have been told it's very unlikely for a baby to get strep throat. Well, my 9 month old got it. I thought we were for sure doomed if she had a sore throat again, but I've actually seen an increase in her nursing. She is latching out in the daylight, in the van in the daylight, in the well lit bedroom, without the sound machine. She's still acting like a 9 month old, popping off at every little sound, but if I give my toddler a lollipop in the van, or put in a video in the living room, we ALMOST get a full nursing in!!!
She must be finally nursing for some comfort again!! And this illness has made her seek it out. She will be clawing at my shirt and burying her face in my shirt, and I lay her back in the cradle position, and she closes her eyes and starts rooting around. She has even opened her eyes and looked up at me!!! She has *NEVER* done this because I've had to nurse her in the dark or in her sleep for the last 7 months!!
She lost weight tho. So I will have to work on that. She still won't eat any babyfood. I went off caffeine for a week or so and she didn't vomit anymore. And then today, I had some Dr. Pepper this morning and at bedtime tonight, she threw up alot. I know caffeine is on the list of possible spitup offenders for younger babies. It didn't used to bother her, but now, maybe it is??
But more good news is she's been to the doc twice since this most recent illness began and they haven't batted an eye at her weight, not even the loss. I rescheduled her well baby check for a time when we can see our favorite doc who knows us, as a family, well. She knows I nursed my first to 19 months and knows nursing is important to us. So I feel less nervous about it, like she will take all things into account, i.e., 6 teeth in a month, illness, distractibility, and my slender build.

- Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Webber deserved a penalty - Massa
- Race:
- Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Felipe Massa
- Teams:
- Ferrari
Felipe Massa believes the stewards should have taken some sort of action against Mark Webber at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after the Red Bull driver tipped him into a spin.
Webber was fighting for position with Massa at turn 11 when he went off the track and then rejoined alongside the Ferrari, causing it to spin. Massa said he had been forced to slam on the brakes because of Webber's actions and was surprised the stewards decided not to take any action after their investigation.
"We were braking for turn 11, he tried to pass me on the outside and I was on the corner on the inside," he said. "We touched wheels on the apex of the corner and he decided to go straight at the chicane and cut the chicane. I was doing the chicane and then he passed in front of me and I had to brake very hard not to hit his car and I spun. So he caused an incident, but it's not the first time we've seen the stewards not making the right decisions and they decided not to give anything. For me it was completely wrong."
Massa went on to finish seventh but said he had been struggling with his car throughout the race.
"I was struggling a bit on the soft tyres and I was struggling with the balance at high speed and oversteer in the slow corners. I had higher degradation than I expected so it was not very good to be honest."

New York is where America's great designers go to reach the proverbial next level, which usually starts with showing a revolutionary collection during Fashion Week and ends with international recognition. A future Ralph Lauren or Calvin Klein won't have arrived until he's opened a store or three somewhere in the city that never sleeps and often shops.
Nearly every Manhattan neighbourhood has a unique retail identity. Consider Fifth and Madison Avenues, with their glistening stacks of luxury boutiques and world-famous department stores. Or the cobbled streets of the downtown villages with their funky, hidden-away shops patronised by those with more dash than cash. As the world's high heels descend on New York for Fashion Week, its rich and diverse shopping scene is more relevant than ever.
Get the most out of one of the world's main fashion capitals with our insider's guide to its must-shop stores and stylish places to pause.
Lee Carter edits Hint, an online New York fashion magazine reporting up-to-the-moment trends, runway, fashion industry and shopping news for the city.
First opened in London, then Tokyo, Dover Street Market is an avant-garde phenomenon. The brainchild of Comme des Garçons designer Rei Kawakubo, Dover has now sprung up in New York's newly christened, formerly humdrum NoMad (north of Madison Square Park) neighbourhood. The multi-brand, multi-floor concept store stocks the artful wares of designers from all over the world, including a select number of luxury labels that want in on the zeitgeist.
The little Lower East Side shop that could, Opening Ceremony has revolutionised retail with its eclectic mix of merchandise and uncanny power to predict the Next Weird Thing (including but not limited to Ben-Day dots, eyeball prints and pixelated tigers). The brand has collaborated with the likes of Chloë Sevigny and Spike Jonze, and its owners Humberto Leon and Carol Lim are the new creative directors of famous Paris fashion house Kenzo.
New York's best-kept menswear secret, Odin has three outposts in the East Village, West Village and SoHo. Men of the modestly directional sort can feel confident in its slogan tees and statement suits by the world's finer men's designers. Odin's own line has also received plenty of buzz, particularly the cult scents that women are now borrowing from their boyfriends.
Kirna Zabête, a combination of the owners' nicknames, opened in 1999, selling an upbeat blend of luxury items in a range of categories: clothing, jewellery, home, baby, pet – even candy. Known for their impeccable seasonal edits of the top runway collections, from Stella McCartney to Christopher Kane and New York's own Proenza Schouler, university friends Beth Buccini and Sarah Easley bring a personal touch to the art of shopping.
While the Upper East Side has its share of glamorous Bs —Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, Henri Bendel — Barneys New York is the king of destination department stores. The fashion faithful flock there for conceptual and luxury labels alike, not to mention the died-and-gone-to-heaven shoe floor. It's not all old school, either: in 2017, a downtown location will open at Seventh Avenue and West 17th Street, in the same building where Barney Pressman founded his menswear company in 1923.
In a cosy corner of the five-star Carlyle Hotel, Café Carlyle harks back to moneyed, mid-century New York. For decades, musicians of all stripes have played to the small, discerning crowds that fill its banquettes and sip on martinis. Judy Collins regularly strums her guitar here, while Woody Allen performs with his jazz band once a week.
Less than a month old, SoHo's Sant Ambroeus is the spritely younger sibling of the Upper East Side establishment, itself a transplant from Milan. On any given day you're likely to spot a British fashion coterie that includes Vogue's Grace Coddington and make-up artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath. Early birds flock to the Italian bistro just after dawn to build up their strength before hitting the local shops.
New York's 'gastroteque' of the moment, Buvette hits the spot for peckish shoppers in the mood for French food. About as small and quaint as it gets, Buvette is the place to dash for a quick croque forestier and a splash of white wine before braving another round of West Village shopping. Top brands, including Burberry, Brooks Brothers and Rag & Bone, are found nearby.
For homesick Brits, there is no more comforting a refuge than Tea & Sympathy. Stocked with essentials from the UK — everything from Cadbury chocolate to Union Jack mugs — the tiny shop/café caters to visitors and American anglophiles alike. Its sticky toffee and Victoria sponge cake are said to be the favourites of regulars editor Tina Brown and actor Rupert Everett. Ask nicely and you might learn the secret to their legendary Scotch eggs.
Once a speakeasy, the Beatrice Inn has retained its low ceiling and underground feel, despite its recent transition from nightclub to trendy restaurant co-owned by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter. With a fireplace in each dining room, the Inn makes for a homey stop after a long day's shopping. It's only open for dinner, so it's best to leave your day's loot back at the hotel.
