From August 2015, The international Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) acknowledges the Stokke MyCarrier as a "hip-healthy" product.
The IHDI recognizes that Stokke has developed products that consider the importance of healthy hip development during infancy. This is especially important during the early stages of hip development in the first few months after birth.
The IHDI recognize specific products as "hip-healthy" to help educate the public.
Author: Paediatric Physiotherapist Vibeke Smith Aulie
Stokke® MyCarrier was developed to ensure that your baby is carried in the best possible way. It provides good support for the back and neck. In addition, the design ensures optimal positioning for the hips with support under the thighs so that the hips assume a «human position». The thighs are raised and bent at an angle of 80-100° (flexion) and turn outwards at an angle of 40-60° (abduction) . Being carried in a flexed position, with the legs turn outwards at the hips (flexion/abduction) to ensure that the ball of the hip is correctly positioned in the hip socket, is really good for the development of the hip joint in infancy.iv
From birth, the baby is carried facing its parents so that there is good interaction between the parents and the baby. In this position, there is optimal support for the infant's back and hips. The head is also well supported in this position.
Babies really enjoy the close contact they have with their parents when they are in the Stokke® MyCarrier®. They are tucked safely into the harness, can feel your heart beating and they are being moved, which makes it easier for them to settle. Stimulation of equilibrium (vestibular stimulation), is an effective way of calming your baby . When parents who carry their baby are moving about, they are stimulating postural control in their baby's body, ie. the baby's posture/position in relation to the surroundings, stability and orientation. iii
Carrying babies is becoming increasingly popular in the western urbanised world, but this can become static for the baby over time as opposed to other cultures where mothers carry the baby all day while doing physical work. For optimal motor development, babies require a variation in position. It is important, therefore, to let the baby change position from being carried to lying on a mat, in the pram or the cot. When awake, babies should spend a lot of time lying on their stomachs to stimulate and strengthen their arm, back and neck muscles.
Front Carrying Outwards.
Once the baby is bigger and has good head control, the baby can face outwards when being carried. The baby will derive much enjoyment from looking about, but it is important for the parents to be observant. For example : Over stimulation can occur with too many sensations such as unfamiliar people approaching them in a shopping mall or airport. Very young babies should be spared too much unfamiliarity. However, babies that are being carried will be able to cope with a more unfamiliar environment than babies that are sitting in a pram and that are facing away from their parents. Physical closeness always helps to make the baby feel secure.
Young children develop gross motor skills and become stronger and more robust. When the baby can hold its head unaided, it is then safe to turn the baby and have him/her sit facing outwards. In most babies, this occurs from four months+. The hips are better developed then, so that babies with normal hips can sit in a narrower position than the «human position». In this position, MyCarrier also provides good support under the buttocks, and the hips are still bent and turned outwards.
Back Carrying.
When the baby grows and becomes heavier, it will be more comfortable for the parent to carry the baby on their back. This ergonomically-designed harness is easy to use. When the baby is able to sit unaided, you can start using MyCarrier to carry the baby on your back. The harness has an optimal ergonomic design and provides good support for your baby's back and thighs. When the baby wants to sleep, there is a head support, which can be attached to provide stability for the head.
Additional Information.
When carrying the baby, you need to be aware of the baby's body temperature. In cold climates you will need to dress the baby appropriately, and maybe even carry the baby inside your jacket so that the baby benefits from the parents' body heat.
Some babies may have undiagnosed hip dysplasia (congenital dislocation of the hips). It is important therefore that when newborn are being carried in the harness that their hips are in the «human position». In cultures where mothers carry their babies on their hips and backs, there is a decreased incidence of hip dysplasia.iv
MyCarrier is roomy and can also be used for babies who are being treated for hip dysplasia with a Frejka pillow/Pavlik harness. It is still safe to use the harness once the Frejka pillow/Pavlik harness are no longer necessary, but it is recommended that the baby be turned inwards the first time it is used to facilitate optimal positioning of the ball of the hip in the hip socket.iv

If You Love Someone...
Here are times in life...
When the person you will love,
For the rest of your life.
Walks into your life.
Sometimes, just sometimes...
You hurt that person,
You push them away.
Not meaning to,
But you do.
Because you do this...
You lose that person,
They walk away.
At times...
You are afraid,
To go on, after this.
But what choice do you have?
All you can do...
Is hope that one day,
If that person really was the one.
You will meet again.
And if, just by chance...
You get that second chance,
Remember the past.
Learn from your mistakes,
And never let them happen again.
And by doing this...
You will find out,
That a lifetime of happiness awaits.
If kisses were water, I'd give you a sea,
If hugs were leaves, I'd give you a tree,
If spaces were love, I'd give eternity,
And if you are true and sincere to me,
I'll keep all my love just for thee.
And every morning when you open your eyes,
Tell yourself that it is special.
Every day, every minute,
Every second is a gift from God.
You've got to dance like nobody's watching,
And love like it's never going to hurt.
People say true friends must always hold hands,
But true friends don't need to hold hands
Because they know the other
Hand will always be there.

The Colts are going to be in the market for some help on the defensive line over the final five weeks of the season.
Coach Bruce Arians said that the knee injury suffered by defensive lineman Fili Moala in Sunday's win over the Bills will end his season and rookie defensive tackle Josh Chapman tweeted Tuesday that the team is placing him on injured reserve as well.
Moala started eight games for the team this season and recorded 14 tackles. He's been a staple in the starting lineup since the 2010 season and is set to become a free agent after the season.
"Obviously it's a blow because Fili was playing extremely well for us," Arians said, via 1070 The Fan. "We'll pick up the pieces and go on with the defensive line. We've had so many injuries there this year that we've built some depth. We'll just continue on with the guys that we have at that position."
Chapman was the team's fifth-round pick this year and started the season on the PUP list as a result of a knee injury he suffered during his senior season at Alabama. He was activated from the list a few weeks ago, but hadn't played in any games.
The Colts previously lost Drake Nevis for the year because of an injury. Clifton Geathers, Lawrence Guy, Martin Tevaseu and Ricardo Matthews are the other defensive linemen currently on the roster.

The last few return visits to the UK, i've felt genuine culture shock for the first time. ASBO's? Most confusing of all, "chav". Trying to track the happy slapping trend on the web to work out if it actually exists or is made-up, i stumbled on an anti-chav site. http://www.chavtowns.co.uk/modules.p...ticle&sid=1580. it was quite disorienting.
My initial tentative diagnosis (excuse me if this seems obvious, i've been out of the country a long time. Following the disappearance of old style class war in the UK (as mediated by the trade unions--when i were a lad the leaders of the big unions were public figures, so famous that Mike Yarwood would impersonate them -- does anyone know the names of the leaders of any union nowadays? while in london i went past the TUC headquarters, i'd almost forgotten that acronym even existed) and the dominance of bland centrist managerialism, class tensions have resurfaced in an
Americanized form, i.e. their class nature disavowed, their basis in material inequality etc ignored. Instead the struggle expressed entirely as cultural antagonism. Ie. Chav being similar to America where it's considered OK to make fun of "white trash". In other words the UK has moved so far into post-socialism that the idea of "society is to blame" is long forgotten; the state of these people is regarded as entirely their own fault.
Except that, judging by this anti-chav site, it's felt that chav values are culturally hegemonic (something that could never be said in the USA of white trash culture).
So what's it all about then? And what exactly is the etymology of "chav"? And yeah, is happy slapping just an urban/media myth?

Dec. 6, 2010 -- Women who had restless legs syndrome (RLS) while pregnant were four times more likely to have the condition again after their pregnancies, and were three times more likely to have the chronic form of the condition, according to a small European study.
Researchers led by Mauro Manconi, MD, PhD, from Vita-Salute University in Milan, Italy, and colleagues compared 74 women who had experienced restless legs syndrome during their pregnancies and 133 women who had not.
Restless legs syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the legs that sometimes lead to a feeling of needing to move the legs for relief. Symptoms are often worse during the night. The disorder affects about 10% of the U.S. population.
Symptoms of restless legs syndrome can arise during pregnancy and then disappear after childbirth. The incidence of restless legs syndrome among pregnant women ranges from 26% to 30% and often peaks during the third trimester, according to the researchers.
RLS During and After Pregnancy
Study participants were surveyed and asked about their medical history, including symptoms of restless legs syndrome and medications they used within two days after delivery. The women were then followed for an average of 6.5 years to see who developed recurrent restless legs syndrome.
The researchers found that:
- 24% of women who had restless legs syndrome during pregnancy had the disorder at the end of the study, compared with 8% of women who did not have the syndrome while pregnant.
- 58% of women who reported restless legs syndrome symptoms while pregnant experienced symptoms again in a future pregnancy, compared with 3% of women who did not have the disorder during a first pregnancy.
- The incidence of developing the chronic form of restless legs syndrome was 34.4 per 1,000 in the pregnancy-related restless leg syndrome group compared 11.5 per 1,000 among those who did not experience restless legs syndrome during pregnancy.
The study results suggest pregnancy-related restless legs syndrome may signal a risk for developing future transient episodes or even the chronic form of the disorder.
The findings are published in the Dec. 7 issue of Neurology.
"This is the first long-term study to look at a possible connection between restless legs syndrome in pregnancy and repeat occurrences in later years or future pregnancies," writes study researcher Mauro Manconi, MD, PhD, with Vita-Salute University in Milan, Italy. "Most of the time, when a woman experiences RLS in pregnancy, it disappears after the baby is born. However, our results show that having the condition during pregnancy is a significant risk factor for a future chronic form or the short-term form in other pregnancies down the road. Women who experience RLS should still be reassured that symptoms will probably disappear after delivery but may reappear later on."

How to Use the Images
Photo 2: The Stone House, March 1862.
The Stone House was the home of the Henry Matthews family during the Civil War. The house served as a hospital following the first battle of Manassas.
Questions for Photo 2
1. Nearly every available building near the battlefield was pressed into service as a hospital to treat the thousands of wounded. What features in the photograph indicate the Stone House made a good place for a hospital?
2. In the Civil War, armies often moved on immediately following the end of a battle, leaving the dead and wounded in the hands of local people, like the Matthews family who lived in the Stone House. These families were not necessarily paid for their efforts or provided with medicines or other provisions. What effect would this have on the family, both immediately and over time? How would you feel under such circumstances?

Over the past two weeks, close to 200 rising 6th thru 8th grade Troup County School System (TCSS) students roamed the halls of THINC College & Career Academy as they participated in the Junior University Summer Enrichment Program (Junior University). The purpose of Junior University was to enhance middle school student learning through advanced studies and hands-on experiments.
The enrichment experience, led by TCSS employees, fostered collegial support for students who are pursuing a more rigorous course of study throughout the regular school year. The curriculum focused on science, technology and robotics, engineering, math and foreign language. In addition, a new course in Technical Theatre was offered. The students designed a set, set up a stage, and placed lighting for a play.

Comcast announced this week that it will relocate its Island customer service center from Vineyard Haven to a larger, more centrally located office at the airport business park on Dec. 17.
The new facility at 19 East Line Road will offer customers additional parking and a larger and more comfortable lobby area than Comcast's current location on State Road in Vineyard Haven. The center will feature the full range of Comcast's products and also will serve as home base for the company's on-Island technical staff.
Since acquiring the local cable system from Adelphia in July 2006, Comcast has spent more than $1 million to enhance the fiber network on the Vineyard.

I don't know about you guys, but now that Thanksgiving is over, I'm looking forward to a Merry Christmas. I've come bearing gifts. The first song is a song I wrote to drive environmental extremists a little crazy. It's called Christmas Tree Hugger. The second song, Arnold's Christmas Tree, introduced by "Arnold (a fake one)" tells the story of how Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California (called the Triminator in the song), changed the name of the official tree at the state capital, back to "Christmas tree," after the previous governor, Davis, having caved in to pressure to be politically correct, had changed it from "Christmas tree," to "holiday tree." The bonus track is a traditional carol that I recorded with a little rock 'n roll flavor.

This Date In Royals History – October 3, 1976 1990
When you enter the month of October in Royals history it is inevitable that the name of George Brett will come up every so often. Though George's career includes chapters of October post-season heroics, there were also several regular season highlights including a Major League Baseball first on this date 19 years ago.
On October 3, 1990 the Royals were playing the final game of the season against the Indians at old Cleveland Stadium. When the day began Brett led Oakland's Rickey Henderson in the batting race .3278 to .3251. George was not in Manager John Wathan's starting line-up that day, but entered the game as a pinch-hitter for third baseman Sean Berry in the fifth inning and drove in Kansas City's first run with a sacrifice fly. He batting again in the seventh inning and dropped a single into rightfield moving his average to .329.
Henderson was removed from the A's game in the fifth inning with one hit in three at-bats leaving his average at .325. Knowing the title was clinched, Bo Jackson actually pinch-hit for Brett in the ninth inning of the 5-2 Cleveland win. But George Brett had collected his third American League batting title while also becoming the first Major League Player to win batting crowns in three different decades (1976, 1980, 1990).
Just A Bit More: Both George's first and third batting titles were clinched with hits in his final at-bat in the last game of the season – and BOTH ocurred on the date of October 3. In 1976 George was credited with an inside the park HR in his last at-bat to edge Hal McRae on a controversial play (or no play) by Twins leftfielder Steve Brye. Some thought Brye misplayed Brett's ball intentionally, to deny the title to McRae – though no one but Brye could ever really know.
What we know for sure is that George finished ahead of his good friend and teammate by the slightest of margins (.3333 to .33206) for his first batting title 33 years ago on this date.
(Curt Nelson, Director – Royals Hall of Fame)

Like the post. Check out Prince Fielder's song, it's pretty cool
I just love all of John Martin?s work done for the Royals over the years and that Brett portrait is as good as any. I don?t know of any sports artist that I like more than he. Best I can recall his first work for the Royals was the 1973 media guide cover.
Hey, I hope I?m not wearing you out!!! I just discovered this feature today (via KCRoyals.com email) and obviously enjoy your stuff!!! I actually have several items that you might be interested in, archive wise. I believe you have my email if you have interest in contact. Look forward to future posts.

Luigi Solo DLC Planned for New Super Mario Bros. U
Luigi will finally be getting his due later this year when Nintendo releases a massive downloadable content update for New Super Mario Bros. U.
Dubbed New Super Luigi U, the add-on will bring alternate versions of all 80 stages from the original game to the fold just for Luigi to play. You'll be able to switch back and forth between the original game and the DLC levels at any time, but only Luigi can play the newly remodeled areas.
Nintendo hasn't announced a specific date or price yet, but as of now it is only being touted as a downloadable expansion. It's basically the size of the full original game, so as Nintendo's Satoru Iwata stated during the Nintendo Direct event, it will take some time until the game is ready, and more can be shared.
In the meantime, you can check out a few new screens and a trailer below, and let us know if you're excited for Luigi to join the fray.

Liberty News
Fall Family Weekend packed full with campus events
Nearly 3,000 family members of Liberty University students visited campus for the 11th annual Fall Family Weekend, Oct. 19-21, experiencing students' "home away from home."
The event is sponsored by the Parent and Family Connections Office.
Families enjoyed several activities on campus, including attending classes with their children, ice skating at LaHaye Ice Center, tours hosted by the Hancock Welcome Center, skiing and snowboarding at Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre, several sporting events, including a home football game, tailgating, and Scaremare. An art expo was on display Friday night in the Tilley Student Center, showing families student submissions in fine art, mixed media, photography, and digital media. First and second place awards will be presented for each category.
Siblings also had the opportunity to stay on residence halls and experience campus life.
Theresa Dunbar, director of Parent and Family Connections, said she hopes Liberty families "feel that Liberty is their entire family's school."
"Parents want to be included, as they are investing financially into their student's education just as they have invested so much of their values and beliefs into them for the past 18-plus years," Dunbar said. "Offering this event helps them feel connected to their student and to the university."
On Saturday parents were treated to a special coffee bar, attended a book signing featuring former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and his wife, Callista, at the Liberty University Barnes & Noble Bookstore, and got a chance to participate in Liberty's gameday experience, catching some Flames fever as they tailgated with students and watched the football team beat Concord 21-13.
After a busy weekend of activities, families were invited to relax in the Vines Center at a free movie night sponsored by Student Activities. The double-feature event screened "Brave" and "Madagascar 3" with free popcorn available.
|Paul and Lori Thomas were presented the Outstanding Parent of the Year Award. Their daugher, Lynn, submitted the essay which won the contest.
Friday evening a special banquet dinner was held in the Schilling Center at LaHaye Student Union. Families enjoyed a delicious dinner, music from Sounds of Liberty, and an opportunity to hear from Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. The Outstanding Parent of the Year Award was presented to Paul and Lori Thomas. Their daughter, senior Lynn Thomas, submitted an essay, which was chosen from more than 100 entries in the fourth annual contest.
Lynn Thomas was born in Korea. At 2 years old, her birth mother abandoned her. She said she was "abused, overworked, starved, and rejected," and every day was a struggle to survive. When she was 6, Paul and Lori Thomas adopted her and lovingly welcomed her into their home in America.
"In my last three years of Liberty, I have grown to appreciate my story and the life my parents have provided for me," Lynn Thomas wrote in her winning essay. "They have loved me as their own and have nurtured, educated, and loved me in ways that I never even dreamed of as a little orphan girl. They introduced me to a loving God and have encouraged me to seek His plan for my life."
A Health Promotions major, she wrote that her parents rescued her from an orphanage "filled with abuse and welcomed me with open arms."
"I shudder at the thought of my life without them," she continued. "I believe that my parents deserve the Outstanding Parent Award because they brought a girl out of desperation and breathed light into her future."
As contest winners, the Thomases received two free nights at Liberty's Wingate hotel, tickets to Liberty's football game, items from the Campus Bookstore, and a restaurant gift certificate. Lynn Thomas received 200 meal points and a $25 gift certificate to the bookstore.

Celebration VI Through The Eyes Of Eric Geller
Posted By
Celebration VI was my third Star Wars Celebration and my second since joining the team here at TheForce.Net. This time around, thanks to the experience of planning for Celebration V, I was better prepared in advance for the array of activities and responsibilities that awaited me in Orlando. I precisely arranged my schedule, leaving several hours of free time in each day for the unexpected (first rule of Celebration: expect the unexpected!). I mapped out exactly which freebies I wanted to snag and even noted who I needed to look out for so I could meet them in-person for the first time.
While not everything went as planned (I underestimated just how massive the line for Ian McDiarmid?s interview could get and I missed out on the whole fan club patch set), Celebration VI was still a complete blast.
I made it to almost every panel on my schedule, and I wrote up lengthy TFN reports from a few of them. In addition to those panels, I hit a few other events ?? and of course, I stayed social in the evenings. Day One (Thursday) consisted of
The Clone Wars Tech
, the first ForceCast live show,
the Timothy Zahn Retrospective
, and the TFN/FanForce/Rebelscum/ForceCast party. Day Two (Friday) began with a great panel about
the future of Del Rey
and continued with the Inside the ForceCast panel and
The Clone Wars
Season 5 red carpet
and premiere. On Day Three (Saturday), I attended the big
Season 5 preview panel
, the
Star Wars Detours
, The Future of Star Wars in 3D panel, and Kyle Newman?s CVI-exclusive audio drama ?Smuggler?s Gambit.? As things wrapped up on Day Four (Sunday), I stopped by the second ForceCast live show and attended the Closing Ceremonies.
What I left out of that brief recap were the two panels that I had the pleasure to join as a participant. I actually moderated the first one, ?
Star Wars and NASA: Science Fiction and Science Fact
,? on Saturday, along with my friend from NASA, Holly Griffith. I had a great time hearing from several of Holly?s co-workers about the intersection of fantasy and reality. On Sunday, I was on the ?
Why We Love The Prequels
? panel, the sequel to the panel I participated in at Celebration V. Once again, we got great feedback from the audience ?? it?s obvious to me that Prequel love is alive and well in Star Wars fandom!
One of the highlights of my experience at Celebration VI was the opportunity I had to cover the red carpet premiere of
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Season 5 for TheForce.Net. This was my first red carpet, and I wasn?t fully prepared for the hysteria that ensued when series cast members like Matt Lanter, Ashley Eckstein, and Sam Witwer made their appearances. I had a great time standing a few feet away from The ForceCast?s Jason Swank and Jimmy Mac as they interviewed the cast and supervising director Dave Filoni. There was an excitement in the air that can only come from a new episode of
The Clone Wars
being screened at a Star Wars Celebration.
After the red carpet event, I filed inside with the other members of the press and grabbed a reserved seat in the second row of the left-most seating section. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that I was seated right behind Dave Filoni and right in front of Seth Green, Clare Grant, and Sam Witwer. It was interesting to watch Sam?s reactions to various moments in the Season 5 premiere episode, ?
While my schedule was indeed quite packed, I had the chance to say hello to many of the people who make Star Wars fandom the awesome community that it is. At the Her Universe booth, I talked to Ashley Eckstein, whose passion for
Star Wars
and geek girls is rivaled only by her vocal talent as Ahsoka Tano. At the Del Rey booth, I finally met the publishing company?s
Star Wars
team, including Erich Schoeneweiss, Frank Parisi, and Shelly Shapiro. It was great to finally talk
Star Wars
in person with Erich and Frank, my editors over at Del Rey?s Suvudu blog. I also met many
Star Wars
fans whom I know from Twitter and Facebook. Celebrations are always great places to see old friends and new faces.
Even so, there wasn?t enough time to do everything. I missed the Ian McDiarmid and Mark Hamill interviews, as well as James Arnold Taylor?s one-man show and his interview with Carrie Fisher. Scheduling misfortunes meant that I didn?t get the chance to attend Leland Chee?s Holocron panel or the panel about the Essential Guides. I also didn?t run into as many of my ?Internet friends? as I would have liked. There will always be a next time, though.
To the people I
get the chance to meet: thank you. Our conversation, no matter how brief, made Celebration VI that much more enjoyable for me. The community of which I am a part continually enriches my life, and I?m very grateful to my friends and the people who read my work at TheForce.Net for making me feel so ?at home? when I go to these conventions.
Of course, my presence at Celebration VI and the incredible experiences I enjoyed there would not have been possible without Philip Wise, the founder of Rebelscum. I want to thank him for bringing me out to Celebration VI so I could contribute to what I believe was our best convention coverage yet. I am truly fortunate to be working with a group of people at TheForce.Net, Rebelscum.com, and The ForceCast who love
Star Wars
as much as I do. Whether it?s in the frantic environment of a Celebration or on one of our regular email threads, their wit and wisdom substantially improve my experience of being a
Star Wars
And now, since recapping my experience at Celebration VI was almost as fun as actually being there?who?s ready for Celebration VII?!

He was coming into the S-curves on I-5 just south of Seattle, listening to radio KYEZ, "Mellow Sounds Of The Spheres," when the music transported him into a trance-like state and he crashed into the side of an 18-wheeler bringing engine parts into Boeing.
I called Randy on his cell-phone moments before his death. We had planned to meet at the Kingdome for a Promise Keepers convention and he was late. Outside in the parking lot I could hear they had already started the sobbing and back slapping without us.
Our last worldly conversation went as follows:
I sued radio KYEZ. My case was basically that a lethal brew of whale calls and flaccid piano playing drove my brother to his death. I lost.
Smooth jazz killed my brother and KYEZ assassinated his character. All it took was their lawyers mentioning the Santana CD in Randy's car and the jury started muttering and pinching fingers to their lips in the international sign for "tokin' on a fatty." I knew Randy would never have taken drugs before a Promise Keepers meeting, not even hallucinogenics, but never mind that. Soon the KYEZ lawyers were contending he was a classic rock listener. They started talking demographics: smooth jazz listeners were peaceful law-abiding citizens, but classic rock listeners, like my brother apparently, were middle-aged losers slumped on bean bags in their parents' basements, plotting half-assed crimes under the wane glow of a grow lamp. This was an alarmingly accurate portrayal of my brother, but completely circumstantial. The judge, who looked to be eating peanuts the whole trial, overruled every one of my objections, and merely snickered when a KYEZ lawyer mentioned Foghat and flapped his arms in a derisive way. Never once did one of those lawyers look me in the face or acknowledge my brother's tragic death. They seemed to think I was a crackpot.
When I stood up to make my closing statement, the courtroom grew dark and cold, like a great cloud full of snow had crept in to hear the verdict. I faced the jury and tried to make my voice sound like Gregory Peckish.
"Mellow Music Of The Spheres, ha! Most people worry about satanic lyrics by those long hairs that bite the heads off of bats and pee on their fans, but smooth jazz is far more insidious and harmful. Smooth jazz has an opiate affect that makes people imagine they are standing under tropical waterfalls or feeding cookies to deer. That's why people who work the cash registers in greeting card stores always look startled if you ask questions, but if you say 'Those deer sure like fig newtons,' they will say 'Yes. Newtons,' in a glassy-eyed, Stepford Wives monotone.
"Mellow Music Of The Spheres, ha! More like banal tripe for people too meek for real jazz and too stupid for classical music. Smooth jazz is played in the elevators of giant corporations to keep the drones complacent. It is even the soundtrack of the porno industry! Around the world swarthy men are watching moist crotches ricocheting all over the place to the warbles of an off-key tenor sax and the kerplunk of a drum machine.
"I believe The Lord handed us a pristine world, and we, like paper wasps, masticated it into a modern-day Babylon of concrete, tar, non-biodegradable plastics and smooth jazz. The radio station KYEZ, like the drug dealer on the corner, is keeping the good people of Seattle dull-eyed and slack-jawed. Please avenge my brother's death and stamp out this blight on The Great American Dream."
I was laughed out of court. You haven't felt low until your family honor is beaten down by a musical genre.
It was then and there I decided to focus on one man.
I used to respect John Tesh when he worked for Entertainment Tonight. He seemed like a decent guy, and I spent many an early evening watching him and Mary Hart chuckle over the zany criminal misadventures of former child actors. But then one day he quit all that. He quit so he could grow a goatee - or "chin vagina" as Randy used to call them - and tour the country playing smooth jazz piano.
I became the point man in the war against John Tesh. I began my duties as point man in the war against John Tesh by repeatedly calling his publicist down in Los Angeles and making fart noises, asking for John Tush. Sophomoric sure, but it felt good to finally put a face on my anger, on my sorrow for Randy's misguided FM listening habits.
I tried soliciting funds for my crusade. Relatives and people at work were generally unsupportive, but I managed to drum up $3.47. Only my lesbian friends, Joyce and Darla, pitched in. We made posters and brainstormed slogans and t-shirts amongst the bruised fruit in the Co-op where they worked. They were teeming with suggestions, and I felt renewed strength in the cause knowing that the lesbian movement supported me.
I picketed Tesh's palatial house on Lake Washington with signs reading "A Whale Is Not An Instrument!" and "Hitler Liked Smooth Jazz." Although disappointed that the neighbors didn't rally behind these placards, I persisted for five drizzle-filled days until informed that the house was empty. Clever Tesh was on tour.
So I waited, staking out his house.
You may wonder what kind of work I do that allows me this kind of free time. I'm a sales rep for a small company called Cheeses Loves Me. We sell semi-soft cheeses molded to resemble Christ crucified on the cross. Most of our clients are churches and religious stores in the Puget Sound area; they agree the Jesus cheeses add spirituality to a typical chip and dip tray and give the communion wafer a little extra pizzazz. Monterey Jack and Port du Salut sell well because their yellowish hues give Jesus a nice tan, but the Roquefort is a little too blue and stinky for most people's taste. Marketing has suggested Lazarus as a possible Roquefort alternative.
I do most of my cold calling on Sundays. The church secretaries, docile creatures with seemingly no decision making power, put me on hold while they scurry off to find an authority figure. I don't need to tell you what insipid music oozes out of the earpiece.
When Tesh returned, pulling into his driveway one overcast Tuesday afternoon in a sleek white all-terrain vehicle, I was ready. I watched as he and his wife, Connie Selecca, went inside. After several hours they reappeared. I followed as they drove back across the 520 bridge into downtown to The Genial Asparagus, a vegetarian restaurant they obviously intended to dine at. It was getting dark, and the rain shone on 1st Street like a black snake that squeezes the world in its soul crushing coils, a cruel and banal beast that slithers through our everyday life with such cunning we are unaware of its middling and mediocre clutches until our eyes glaze over and our feet start twitching with little rhythmic taps...The taps of smooth jazz death!!!
I followed them inside, pausing in the foyer while the Teshes took a table in the back. From my vantage point behind a hanging fern I could see the whole dim, candle-lit restaurant. The stucco walls were covered with macramé and plants; the clientele all snotty types trying to acquire bohemian airs by eating tofu and wearing North Face windbreakers. They were all gibbering gaily with seaweed and barley stuck in their teeth.
The Teshes signed a couple of autographs and then concentrated on their menus. A cold feeling of destiny pounded through my body. I reached into my duffel bag and prepared for the final confrontation.
I had dressed a blow-up sex toy in my brother's clothes, complete with Mariners baseball cap, tennis shoes and gloves. Then I had glued a picture of his face to a William Shatner Halloween mask, which I strapped onto the doll's plastic, lamprey-like head. Although the arms and legs flapped at the ends, the posture and overall appearance was pure Randy.
Under the shirt of this effigy I had taped a cassette recorder. I pressed the play button and the poignant strains of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies wafted out.
I broke past the startled maitre d', and, holding the homage above my head, ran towards my nemesis. People screamed, Graham Nash sang, and Randy flew like some avenging angel out of The Old Testament!
Then the unexpected happened...John Tesh kicked my ass. He's a big man, and I hadn't even started to recite my Smooth Jazz Manifesto when he lunged forward and started to punch me about the face and neck. I went down hard, with Connie Selecca and some of the wait staff kicked me in the genitals and John Tesh yelling, "You want a piece of The Tesh?" or something like that while performing vicious flying elbow drops on my neck.
I barely made it out of the Genial Asparagus with my life. I jumped in my car and floored it. Randy was losing air fast and flying all over the place and I was bleeding and calling my lesbian friends Joyce and Darla from my cell phone when I jumped the curb, hit a telephone pole, and crashed into this Starbucks Coffee shop.
And then you found me, officer. Now you are looking at a man who has failed in all his best efforts, who battled evil and lost, whose belief system has foundered and collapsed in front of his very eyes.
So. What kind of music do you listen to?

Everything we've previously been taught about negotiation is wrong: you are not rational; there is no such thing as 'fair'; compromise is the worst thing you can do; the real art of negotiation lies in mastering the intricacies of No, not Yes. These surprising tactics—which radically diverge from conventional negotiating strategy—weren't cooked up in a classroom, but are the field-tested tools FBI agents used to talk criminals and hostage-takers around the world into (or out of) just about any scenario you can imagine. In NEVER SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It former FBI lead international kidnapping negotiator Chris Voss and co-author Tahl Raz break down these strategies so that anyone can use them in the workplace, in business, or at home.
This book blew my mind. It's a riveting read, full of instantly actionable advice—not just for high-stakes negotiations, but also for handling everyday conflicts at work and at home.
—Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of ORIGINALS and GIVE AND TAKE
Learn how to apply counter-intuitive techniques from hostage negotiation into any situation - business or personal.
Learn how to build strong relationships with buyers and sellers, get more referrals, and never cut your commission rate.
Get equipped with the tactical empathy tools you need to be heard, overcome objections, and close deals with fewer counter-offers.
Where smart communicators go to get the negotiation edge.
No matter the context or the stakes, every effective negotiation strategy relies on these five factors. Are you effectively using all five?
There's a difference between negotiating at the same time and negotiating as a team. If you're laser-focused on getting your turn to speak and nailing your part in a negotiation, you're leaving money on the table. In fact, if you're consumed with your next move, you're setting yourself to fall short. Below, we've laid out four tips for improving your team's communication and effectiveness in a negotiation.
If you've ever taken a negotiation course or read a book on negotiation, you've likely learned some techniques for effective communication. But unfortunately, negotiation is not like riding a bike. Much like a foreign language, unless you regularly practice the techniques, those valuable skills you learned will begin to decline over time.

With globalization, economic growth and increasingly complex tax and regulatory environments, the need for properly trained tax professionals is growing, with an anticipated 10% projected increase in employment anticipated between 2016 and 2026, so why not consider a Masters in Taxation to meet this trend head on!

Advantages of earning a Masters in Taxation on-Campus
A masters in taxation on campus program offers hands-on learning experience with the opportunity to cultivate new networks and interact with faculty. Many students actually study better in group environments where they might be able to interchange ideas with fellow classmates. Also, being on campus means you get access to the facilities and student services.
Whereas typically online programs are known for convenience, many on campus programs hold classes on weekends or
evenings, and do not schedule courses during the heavy tax season in order to accommodate busy working professionals.
If this sounds right for you, use the location settings on GradSchools.com to find a college or university in the city, state or country of your preference. In general, Masters of Science in Taxation programs take from 7 months in an accelerated program to 2 years to complete, and may require students to possess a Bachelor's degree and a background in business, finance or accounting. An internship may also be required; make sure to request information from the school in consideration.
Some of the options you might find may include Master of Science in Taxation and MS in Accounting –Tax Specialization. Many programs are designed for currently practicing accountants, lawyers, financial managers and planners who need extensive information and formal study in taxation. Other programs prepare students to become tax advisors and may have a different curriculum
Will Earning a Masters in Taxation Pay Off?
If you anticipate working in finance, some higher-level jobs may require a master's degree in business administration or in finance. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the central licensing organization for the securities industry, and it requires licenses for many financial analyst positions.
If you aspire to work as a tax accountant, many employers also favor candidates who have a master's degree, either in accounting or in business administration with a concentration in accounting, and those have a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license.
Inspired by the Bookstein Institute for Higher Education in Taxation, CSUN's Taxation program is a practice-oriented learning experience, designed for working individuals. It is taught on campus and takes 18 months to complete.
EducationDynamics maintains business relationships with the schools it features.

- Determination of taxable income
- Determining the applicable tax rate
- Structuring tax shelter
- Capturing taxable transactions
- Recording appropriate deductions
- Computing deferred tax credits and liabilities.

- Financial planning
- Strategic tax planning
- Retirement planning
- Estate planning /gift taxation
- Bankruptcy tax

- Tax theory
- Federal and international taxation
- Corporate and partnership taxation
- Taxation of individuals
- Business expenses, deductions and credits

Post subject: CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK MID 1970s
Back in the 1970s I worked for an industrial security firm that sent me all over London covering banks, art galleries, etc as security firms then dealt with almost all aspects of security. I was assigned to the Canadian Imperial Bank on Bishopsgate in the dity of London-14 hour night shifts- 6 at night till 8 in the morning five nights a week with weekends off. Any staff working after 7 pm had to report to me so I could check on them from time to time, but my duties were mostly to man reception and answer telephone calls. Once all staff were gone then I set the alarms and began my hourly patrols. One particular evening I had no staff working late-or so I thought-and began my patrol at 8 pm to switch off lights, check toilets for flooding, heaters left switched on, etc when I entered the third floor and discovered a young woman still working in the office. I was very angry that I had not been informed that anyone was working late. "Miss. I,m rather annoyed that you didn,t tell me you were working late!" I confronted her. "I,m sorry. I forgot!" she replied, then put down her papers she,d been reading and walked by me as if she were heading for the toilets, but instead opened one of the large windows and instantly THREW herself out! I rushed to the open window and glanced down to see her crumpled body face down on the pavement. With my heart in my mouth I ran down the stairs and out into the street to where I,d seen her broken body to find NOTHING-no sign of blood or anything! Confused I rushed back inside and rang the police and explained what had happened. The police and an ambulance arrived fairly quickly, but the police could find nothing and witnesses stated they,d not seen anyone fall. When I rang the Head Messenger to tell him what had happened he said:"I,m so sorry I didn,t have a chat with you before, but I have something to tell you in the morning and in the meantime I,ll call the police to put their minds at rest!" I wondered at his words, but completed my incident report once my initial patrol was finished and one of my mobile supervisors had come around to see what had occurred. When John the Head Messenger arrived to take over from me in the morning he called me into his office and offered me a fresh cup of coffee. "Before I explain what happened may I ask if you believe in ghosts?" he began. "If you had asked me that question Before I joined the american air force I,d have said "no"! "But now I know differently!" I told him. He began:"Back in 1955 I had only started here as a messenger having just left school. There was a very pretty ledger secretary called Alice McCarthy who worked for a firm of solicitors who at that time had offices on the third floor. She was young and very naive and had an affair with a senior member of the firm. And of course she became pregnant. In 1955 a single woman getting pregnant was treated far differently than now and when she told her older lover she was pregnant he told her there was no way he could leave his wife and marry her. The girl,s father had already thrown her out of the family home so in despair one night while working late Alice Threw herself out the window of the third floor and every now and then someone witnesses her going through the act again. Infortunately this time it was you!" "So I saw a ghost?" I asked. "Undoubtedly, and you,re certainly Not the first and probably won,t be the last and I must ensure any future security people are informed before the police start complaining about wasting their time! She looked very real to me and incidentally the papers she,d been working with Disappeared as well!

The most comprehensive list of the best WordPress themes designed and developer for web hosting, server providers, computer and internet services. This list includes all types of themes and some of them can be used for hosting review sites to earn extra income as affiliate.
All themes listed below are premium and free themes with outstanding quality and pixel perfect design. Hosting and internet services are one of the fastest growing niches and right now is the best time to jump into this business. It is expected that cloud services will grow 30% a year for the next 10 years and that's crazy in comparison to any other market.
WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. WordPress started as just a blogging system, but has evolved to be used as full content management system and so much more through the thousands of plugins and widgets and themes.
WordPress powers more than 24% of the web — a figure that rises every day. Everything from simple websites, to blogs, to complex portals and enterprise websites, and even applications, are built with WordPress. WordPress combines simplicity for users and publishers with under-the-hood complexity for developers. This makes it flexible while still being easy-to-use.

Gavar Vegetable Recipes
Indian Cluster Beans (Gawar Ki Phalli Recipe)
Cluster beans, also known as guar beans or cyamopsis tetragonolobus, are legumes that are very popular throughout India. They resemble flattened green beans and have an extremely hardy and crunchy texture, and they're usually cooked into a curry.
This version, gawar ki phalli (sometimes called gavar ki sabji) is cooked in sesame paste and curry leaves. It's one of the healthiest Indian dishes you can make because these beans are very low in calories. My husband Lulu's family is from Hyderabad and this bean dish was Lulu's paternal grandma Baji's specialty. Making this dish is quite labor-intensive because the beans need to be stringed and chopped. But the result is definitely worth the effort. Whenever I find very fresh cluster beans at the Indian market (blemish-free, green and relatively tender), I cook them right away as they don't store well in the refrigerator.
Note: Glossary of relevant Indian / Urdu cooking terms.
Gawar, gavar = cluster
Ki = of
Phalli = beans
Sabji, sabzi = greens, vegetables

House Republicans Take Their Ball, Go Home In FISA Fight
from the so-THAT'S-what-a-spine-looks-like dept
It now appears all but certain that the stopgap Protect America Act, which Congress passed in August, will expire this weekend, despite dark warnings from the White House that this would create a parlous "intelligence gap" and stymie intelligence community efforts to track terrorists. House Republicans, led by Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio, staged a walkout to protest Democrats' refusal to schedule an immediate vote on a bill approved in the Senate earlier this week enacting more permanent changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Unlike the RESTORE Act passed in the House back in October, the Senate bill establishes only limited checks on warrantless surveillance of communications between Americans and foreigners, and includes a provision granting retroactive amnesty to telecoms charged with illegally providing customer data to the government without a court order.
Democrats are, for a change of pace, fighting back against charges that they are soft on security issues. Contra predictions of imminent doom, many are now pointing out that the practical effect of the PAA's lapsing is likely to be quite limited, as any surveillance authorized under the law can continue unabated for another six months. And for all the administration's dire forecasts, Democrats note that it was House Republicans who voted down a further temporary extension of the PAA in the shadow of a presidential veto threat, and the Republican leader in the Senate who blocked a bicameral conference on the bill, in hopes of forcing the immediate approval of the White House–endorsed Senate bill. In a letter to President Bush today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who had drawn the ire of progressives for his perceived compliance with White House demands, blasted what he characterized as the administration's "reckless attempt to manufacture a crisis over the reauthorization of foreign surveillance laws."

This new, regular feature on NHLNumbers will share interesting stats-related posts from around the web almost every day.
Welcome to edition number 17 of the rebooted Number Chains. In this space you will be able to find the best analytical hockey writing from around the internet on a close-to-daily basis. Subject matter will include statistical evaluation, financial analysis, contractual issues, and (sometimes) closely-related tangential works. If you have something you would like to submit for a future edition (your writing or that of someone else) feel free to send it to me via Twitter @JoshL1220 or leave a comment.
On Reddit, David Backes, Mathieu Schneider, and Kevin Westgarth did an Ask Me Anything (AMA) chat session. The entire thing is worth reading. Among the highlights:
David Backes on Sidney Crosby
Honest answer is that he is the best player in the game bar none. That being said he is always looking for an edge and that includes working the officials which rubs a lot of guys the wrong way. I haven't had kind feelings for him until this summer working with him in the negotiating room and seeing who is as a person. He is a true ambassador for the game and someone who has gained my respect. – DB
Mathieu Schneider on why he is so "hip"
TOTALLY didn't you see my blog when I was with the Canucks. Short lived until Vigneault ran me out of town 🙂 . My kids have taught me everything I know about Reddit.
Also, David Backes confirms that the members of the NHLPA do, in fact, have an app which gives them lockout updates.
Unfortunately, there is very little in the chat session about the actual lock out. It's still interesting nonetheless.
After the jump mediation, Twitter hacking, and stats-related posts are waiting.
* Dan Oldfield of the CBC breaks down the announcement that mediators will be involved in the CBA negotiations going forward.
* The fabled hacked Twitter account pops up again this week. This time the "victim" is Guy Serota, one of the announced mediators of the lockout dispute. Puck Daddy had links to the questionable Tweets in their daily links. Needless to say, they're a bit out there.
* At Defending Big D, I wrote about the shot rates of the Texas Stars. Soiler alert: Cam Barker led the Stars in shots as of Wednesday.
* At Puck Daddy, Ryan Lambert writes about the league trying to undermine Donald Fehr again.
* Jonathan Willis continues looking to the Oilers future at Oilers Nation by looking at the career probabilities of Teemu Hartikainen.
* Jack Todd of The Montreal Gazette writes that Gary Bettman has become hockey's worst enemy.
* Jeff Z. Klein of The New York Times published a story about the significant decrease in fighting in the OHL this season.
* At Lighthouse Hockey, Dominik pointed out that the NHL is so incompetent that they can't follow their own mission statement. I didn't realize the NHL had a mission statement. Huh.
Go write something about hockey statistics. I'm tired of covering the lockout.
Follow Josh and NHLNumbers today.

Hi all. Back from vacation which was awesome. It took me a while to catch up because the day after we got back, we adopted two cats.
At the adoption table, they only had two cats because we got there so early. We ended up taking both.
Meet Samantha. We call her Sam. I call her Sammy Girl.
Sam isn't chunky, she just has a lot of fur. She's a Cymric with a stumpy tail (about 1/3 of a regular cat tail). Very sweet an mellow. I'm glad we adopted her.
The other cat is actually a kitten. He put on a real show in his cage when he saw us. I knew he was ours after about 10 seconds.
Jack is about 13 weeks old now. He's a pain in the ass when he's awake, but very cute. His shading indicates that he will be darker. I'm enjoying the kitten stage, but it will be nice when he is a little bigger. I'm tired of him fitting in places he shouldn't go.
So the past week, I've been doing vacation laundry as well as other people's genealogy. In my "spare" time I'm helping the new cats adjust to their forever home. I think they've finally figured it out.
I have a few vacation photos to show you. Yes, they slightly pertain to family history. I'll get those up soon.

Sam is certainly a beautiful cat! She certainly looks mellow in that pose. Jack appears to be a Siamese-type; is he?ReplyDeleteReplies
Cute cats. Right now I have my three and my daughters three cats in my house. The growling and hissing have decreased. She found a house and will be moving in the end of July. The six of them are a PITA too.ReplyDelete
Sammy Girl is one handsome female cat. That fur makes her look majestic. And Jack is irresistible. All curled up. And look at those ears!ReplyDelete

How Do We Fulfill the Promise of Public Transit in Los Angeles?
November 5, 2013
More News & Resources:
With a $40 billion voter-approved transit investment being deployed over the next 20 years, Los Angeles County residents are charting a path to a new future. The transit system expansion will add 102 miles of rail transit and almost 100 new stations, while creating 400,000 new jobs.[1] While the City of Los Angeles is ground zero for much of this change - at the core of the transit network and with 113 current and planned stations - 63 other jurisdictions across the County will also enjoy frequent transit, making the scale of change as record-breaking as the pace of change.

Across The Regions: Income Mobility And Access To Opportunity
July 25, 2013
More News & Resources:
A lot of attention has recently been centered on what is considered to be "the most detailed portrait yet of income mobility in the United States" The study, jointly conducted by economics faculty at Harvard and UC Berkeley, reinforces past research on the subject of income mobility, in that children born into poverty face great difficulty in rising out of poverty over their lifetime. What makes this particular study unique is how it highlights the stark differences of opportunities for lifetime income mobility across the metropolitan areas of America, which, as summarized by David Leonhardt of the New York Times, "allows researchers to consider local factors that previous mobility studies could not – including a region's geography."

What strategies will address equity issues like risk of displacement or training residents near transit for the jobs that transit connects?

On March 6, my daughter, Heather, was diagnosed with Stage 2 ovarian cancer and had an 11-pound germ cell tumor removed from her left ovary.
The doctor said it was a good thing we brought her in when we did because she might not have made it. On April 4, my mom, Shirley, was diagnosed with breast cancer. As you can see one person alone could not take care of two people at the same time. One having radiation on Hilton Head and the other having chemo in Savannah. We want to thank our church family at Low Country Community Church, my mom's church family at Abundant Life, Live Oak, THX homeschool co-op, Island Playground, and anyone else who helped our family out with transportation to radiation or chemo treatments, child care, meals, gas/restaurant/grocery cards, house cleaning, and the list goes on.
We live in the best community anyone could ever have. We want to thank every person involved for your prayers, love, and support for our family. We wouldn't have been able to make it without you. Heather and my mom are now both cancer free and we thank the Lord for His faithfulness. Heather still suffers from Stage 3 kidney disease and other ailments probably due to the strong chemo treatments she received but, she has a good attitude and the love of Jesus and we know she'll get through this, too.
Thank you.
