The 18-year-old, who scored in his first ever appearance for PSV in the KNVB Beker on Thursday, replaced Luciano Narsingh in the second-half and scored three goals in 11 minutes to add to Dries Mertens's hat-trick, as the Eindhoven giants beat VVV 6-0 on Sunday.
Locadia could not hide his delight after the match and admitted he could not quite believe he had scored three in his first league game.
"It was liberating. This is a dream. I scored my first goal in the Eredivisie and then it was three immediately after," he enthused.
PSV coach Dick Advocaat said he was very happy for the teenager and insisted that he has a lot of potential.
"He has shown that he is a true striker," he added.
He knows where to stand and where to go. He is a really good player who is good with both feet. If you can score three goals in 20 minutes, what can you say more as a coach?"
PSV are now third in the league, three points behind league leaders Twente.

If you follow little island studios on Pinterest, you'll know that I have a huge donut obsession right now. I have had not any in years, simply because the ones in the stores are so full of chemicals and additives that I refuse to buy them. I have totally missed out though, as they are so easy to make! Using your own ingredients I have no idea why I didn't make them sooner and why more people do not make their own.
Mini Donuts: 100 Bite-Sized Donut Recipes to Sweeten Your "Hole" Day, by Jessica Segarra is the must-have book to start your donut making adventures! The recipes are easy with ingredients you most likely have handy in your kitchen. There are easy to follow instructions for a mini-donut maker or a donut pan. I use a Wilton donut pan I got from the market. (less than 10 dollars)
This was my first attempt at donuts before I got the Mini Donuts book. And while yes, they are pretty, the recipe I used was not something to be desired and the donuts had to be thrown out. Even my teen was not amused (don't teens eat anything?).
My first recipe from Jessica's book was perfection! I made the Buttermilk Donuts with Chocolate Ganache Icing.
And as you can see from the icing on little ones face, these donuts were a huge hit - add a glass of organic milk and you have bliss!
This recipe for Confetti Cake Mini Donuts would be absolutely
perfect for Valentine's Day!

For Icing

Transfer donuts to a cooling rack and cool completely. If using an electric mini-donut maker: Carefully fill each donut indentation ¾ full. Bake according to manufacturer's instructions or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean. Remove donuts from appliance, transfer to a cooling rack, and let cool completely.

Customer Testimonial
It's hard to describe the complexity of reproducing a 19th century Arts and Crafts rug, but Inner Asia knew exactly how to realize it. From the first renderings of the historic design, thru several strike-offs for color and content and then to beautiful hand craftsmanship, Inner Asia made the custom process look scientific. And all of that accomplished in a rigorous timeframe. All custom rug experiences should be so seamless!

Part of my walk is down a fairly busy road, actually most of the walk was and I passed someone who acted like they knew me. She got excited and waved. I have no idea who it was, I didn't recognize the car and being as they flew past probably doing at least 50 mph, I didn't see her either. I haven't heard anything via text or Facebook yet so I wonder if it was somebody from work. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.
I walked all the way there and I really didn't want to stop, I felt like I was on a groove so I went in, grabbed a dog and a Gatorade and ate it on my walk back. It was a little difficult being as I have breathing issues through my nose and it's a little difficult to breathe and eat, both with your mouth, at the same time. I did manage though.
About 3/4 of the way back, I was getting tired. I was starting to feel it in my legs and just wanted to get home. I also noticed that my hands had swollen up. I wasn't sure what to make of that and what it meant. I was a little worried that it was a medical issues but my wife Googled when I got home. Apparently it is common and has to do with blood flow not getting to your hands as well because it's pumping harder. Common, maybe, but it's never happened to me.
I set a new high for miles for a walk, not for total steps in a day or anything but the longest for getting out there and walking. I actually blew my old high by quite a bit.
Not to bad considering I hadn't walked in 3 weeks. What's funny was when I got home and looked at my phone, my mom had invited me to a daily showdown on Fitbit. Little did she realize that I just did this walk so I clicked join and bam, I'm up already by 9,000 steps. She picked the wrong Sunday for that.
Day 112, Mauston, WI (364 miles)
Maybe I can keep walking this week and get out of the middle of nowhere so I have something to share of.

Good book. I already knew most of it but thought i'd try to build one in my kitchen. I couldn't get hold of any enriched urainium so I enriched some chiabata flour dough with Olive Oil. Was a bit puzzled by the expected outcome of a cloud of mushrooms which hasn't happened yet. Something may have been lost in translation.
What a fuss about nothing.
The real danger is terrorist weapons and if you have enough Pu you don't need a complex spherical implosion system, just a couple of flat plates and some high explosive. Rather wasteful and inefficient, but still a big bang.
There is no doubt that Brasil is pursuing a nuclear weapons program - slowly but steadily as are several other countries not currently in the spotlight . It is on the "suspect" list at the IAEA. The same would have been said for Iran back in the Shah's day or Pakistan back in the early 70's. The US and the Western world just brushed it off back then.
Nuclear weapons provide prestige for a country and also a certain level of protection from agressive neighbours and from superpowers throwing their weight around.
Dr. John is surely wrong about Brasil. If Brasil had a nuclear weapons programme, this book wpuld never have been published.
But the book is sympyomatic of a wider phenomenon. Most medium sized powers with competent military (and some without) are studying nuclear weapons in the abstract 'in case' such knowledge is needed in future at short notice. That becomes a danger when a daft government gains power in one of these countries.
It doesn't matter, there's plenty of information in the public domain anyway. Anyone who can't figure out how to build a nuclear bomb doesn't deserve to own one.
It doesn't matter, there's plenty of information in the public domain anyway. Anyone who can't figure out how to build a nuclear bomb doesn't deserve to own one.
Unless you can buy fissile material in your local supermarket I wouldn't worry about home made bombs.
The basic principals have been available for the public to utilise for decades now.
"They are spending their fortune before Obama and his socialist buddies redistribute it.
I recall that New Scientist itself published an article in the 80s about how to build an atomic bomb out of a 3-storey apartment building and a 30-foot length of sewer pipe. Of course, the article was rather vague about where to obtain the plutonium.
By insisting on the prosecution of Julian Assange, politicians have only risked bumping him to cult hero status.
The media is brainwashing us, the government doesnt want us to know the dirty deeds they are doing. Of course they want to punish wikileaks.
If certain section of our government and military are running amok like we see in WikiLeaks; then I have ZERO issue with this being made public. If you don't want illegal and/or quasi-legal actions to be brought to the public's attention, then don't do them in the first place.
Man if i ever saw two racoons fighting over a blogs itd be this one, nicely done my friend. Keep it up.

In a statement released today, Apple announced it is suing HTC, claiming the Taiwanese phone maker infringed upon 20 of Cupertino's patents related to the iPhone. After Nokia and Apple suing one another a number of times over the past couple of months, this is the next high-profile patent lawsuit in the mobile phones business. Engadget has the filings, and it seems that Apple wants to avoid angering Microsoft, but has no qualms about taking on Google. Update: Engadget analyses every single patent in the claim.

It would be interesting to see the market appearance dates of the mentioned HTC phones in relation to iPhone release dates. E.g. if I remember correctly, the TiltII came out around the same time as the iPhone in 2007. While it might not count - who knows when the mentioned patents were submitted/granted - it might shed some light on real issues here.
All in all, this is no surprise, I think everyone&dog have already got used to such parades around patents.
One way or the other, money will change hands, and everyone always settles.

Gordons in Glenlivet
Hi all,
I am looking for any information I can find on my ancestors, who were a family of Gordons who lived in Glenlivet, Banffshire, Scotland.My ggg grandfather was James Gordon, Shoemaker, and he was born on 14th October 1833 in Tomintoul, son of John Gordon, local Constable, and his wife Jean Downie.James was baptised by Donald Carmichael, the local Catholic Clergyman.He was one of eight children, the other seven being George, Elspet, Charles, John, Alexander, Mary and Ann.John Gordon and Jean Downie were married in 1823.On their marriage entry it was noted that John Gordon was the son of John Gordon "late of Stronavaich" and Margaret Stuart.That same John Gordon of Stronavaich (a farm in Glenlivet) had the tack of those lands from 1809 to his death in 1819.On his death certificate it was noted that his wife, Margaret, was still alive, and that he had two children - Elspeth, married to John Shaw in Stronavaich, and John, later to be the Constable.John Gordon of Stronavaich, while he was alive, paid £29/19/-- per annum in 1809 in rent for his lands of Stronavaich, Glenmullie, and two lots of land in Tomintoul village.
Unfortunately I don't know any more.I don't know where John Gordon of Stronavaich came from, nor do I know whether his wife was local or not.There was a tennant family of Stuarts in Glenconglass (in which Stronavaich was formerly included) - Margaret Stuart could have been one of them.All I know is that the whole family was Roman Catholic.
If anyone can help me on this I would really be grateful - any ideas or suggestions as to which sources I should consult would be appreciated.
Thanks very much for any help in advance,
Andrew Simpson

Name: Gabriele Rumi
Nationality: Italy
The Rumi Family has worked in the metal industry for three generations since Gabriele Rumi, his grandfather, opened an iron foundry in Brescia. Gabriele Jr took over the business in 1961 and in 1970 decided to diversify the business into the light alloy business, producing parts for engines and other automotive uses. In 1972 Rumi decided to start his own alloy wheel business.
In the 1960s Rumi had become a passionate racing fan after a visit to the Monte Bondone hillclimb event near Trento in northen Italy. He competed in both hillclimbs and in the single-seater Formula Monza category. But he had come to the sport too late to make a career and so found himself with slightly different ambitions. In 1983 he began sponsoring Italian GP driver Piercarlo Ghinzani, who was driving for the Osella team. The following year Fondmetal began supplying racing lightweight racing wheels to Williams, Tyrrell and Ligier.
The link with Osella led in 1990 to Rumi acquiring the team and reorganizing it under the Fondmetal name in 1991. Rumi did a deal to have his cars built in England - by Robin Herd's design office Fomet 1 and later by Sergio Rinland's Astauto operation. The operation proved to be very expensive and, unable to find enough backing, Rumi decided to shut the team down rather than trying to battle against hopeless odds and incur debts.
Instead Rumi joined forces with former Ferrari aerodynamicist Jean-Claude Migeot and bought the Casumaro windtunnel, one of the most advanced in the world at the time. The new company, Fondmetal Technologies, began doing design consultancy work with Mercedes in touring car racing and with F1 teams Benetton and Tyrrell.
In 1996 Rumi was one of the consortium which bought Minardi and at the end of 1997 he bought out Flavio Briatore and became the majority shareholder in the team. Once again he invested heavily in staff and equipment and Gustav Brunner built some good cars but the team never had the engine to do the job. Money once again began to run out and at the end of the 2000 season Rumi gave up the dream for a second time, handing control to Paul Stoddart.
He died from cancer later that year.

The period details are exquisite, aside from a couple of stray modernisms that wander into the dialogue here and there....

The uniformly solid acting pulls Mob City back from its occasional flirtation with the "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" precipice.Boston Globe Full Review
It takes things nice and easy, ending with a lot still to be conveyed as to who is who and what is what in this lush show about the police and the mob in 1947 Los Angeles. But your patience is likely to be rewarded. Episode 2, also being shown on Wednesday, brings things nicely into focus, and prospects seem good that this six-episode series will be a satisfying trip back in time.The New York Times Full Review
Mob City is smart, stylish, sexy and altogether addictive.St. Louis Post-Dispatch Full Review
Even on the basis of the two episodes made available, it's easy enough to see that Mob City has plenty up its noir sleeve, including some rich plotting. Above all there's the cast, mainly responsible for the aforementioned life and energy.Wall Street Journal Full Review
After two hours, Mob City gets its hooks into viewers and should leave many begging for more. But it takes some time to get there.Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
The film noir touches are laid on a bit thick, but that's also part of the appeal of this stylish limited series.Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
While Mob City does have its weaknesses, including patches of starchy dialogue, it offsets them with some magnetic performances.San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times Full Review
Darabont geek out over the genre trappings but the pace is slow-sax sleepy and the story is L.A. Confidential-lite. [6 Dec 2013, p.74]Entertainment Weekly Full Review
There are times when it takes itself too seriously as modern mythmaking, as if we haven't already seen tales like this before. But even when the momentum flags or the rhythm seems slightly off, the show's sheer gorgeousness is compelling, and it's clear that Darabont has a vision for this thing, even though we can't deduce every detail based on two episodes.New York Magazine (Vulture) Full Review
Mob City would be better if it were just a little bit more raw--there's something amiss when a putative sleazy jazz dive looks like you could eat off the floors. But its proudly pulpy sensibilities and its startling plot twists make it a whiskey-and-a-shot pleasure.Miami Herald Full Review
Mob City is a big, bloody, flashy, violent and pulpy exercise that slowly builds into some solid entertainment and it's a fine, identity-bending effort on the part of TNT.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
Yet with reservations, and a little bit of squinting while the odd anomaly goes by--and having seen only the first two episodes, written and directed by Darabont himself--I would recommend it.Los Angeles Times Full Review
What Mob City may lack in originality it compensates for in atmosphere and sharp characterizations.TV Guide Magazine Full Review
Sometimes it seems that Darabont is more in thrall to the rise of the West Coast mob than to the story he's allegedly trying to tell.Newark Star-Ledger Full Review
Mob City takes its time to lock and load, but its aim ultimately improves.Boston Herald Full Review
Holliday Grainger is an excellent Bonnie.... Emile Hirsch, a very good actor, plays Clyde as a passive nonentity.... Bonnie and Clyde seem as remote and illogical as another notorious couple of the era, Wallis Simpson and the Duke of Windsor. [16 Dec 2013]People Weekly Full Review
I don't mind seeing actors like Ed Burns, Milo Ventimiglia and Robert Knepper in nice suits, acting the way bad guys in old movies are supposed to act. I'm even happier to see Jon Bernthal all cleaned up and zombie-free. I just can't quite tell, after two episodes, whether their stories can compete with their setting.Philadelphia Daily News Full Review
As they build the show's foundation, dozens of other characters float by. Figuring out which ones matter, and why, will be part of the fun and the challenge in this compact series.New York Daily News Full Review
Mob City looks so good that I may watch it all the way through (TNT only sent out tonight's episodes in advance) just for the eye candy. Unfortunately, it doesn't have much else to offer.Hitfix Full Review
Mob City at best is barely above average drama from a guy who presumably is still capable of far better. Boardwalk Empire it's not. Not by a long shot -- or even a rat-a-tat-tat.Uncle Barky Full Review
Glimmers of hope force their way through the fog of noir cliche.Newsday Full Review
Once assembled, Mob City has a slick sheen and a sure trigger finger that unleashes a stream of bullets. But the guns here are the kind that go "ho-hum" instead of "bang-bang."Washington Post Full Review
It's just adequate, but adequate noir can really enliven an otherwise tedious gangster story.Slate Full Review
From its smoky night clubs to its fleabag dives, there's no doubt Mob City looks good. But in this case, looks aren't enough, particularly when too many of the details seem more studied than lived in.USA Today Full Review
What this project has, almost excessively, is mood. It should have traded in some of that rich ambience for a story that's halfway involving.Philadelphia Inquirer Full Review
Though Bernthal, Ventimiglia, and Davalos all look their parts, there's little thought to their characters beyond "detective" and "mobster" and "femme fatale."The A.V. Club Full Review
Darabont certainly proves his love of the period, of pulp fiction and of the dark and moody film technique. He's less convincing when it comes to selling a story.Denver Post Full Review
Casting actors like Robert Knepper, Milo Ventimiglia and DeMunn among the assorted cops and robbers certainly lends a patina of quality to the proceedings, but can't trump the general sluggishness of the presentation--or, for aficionados of the period, the fact these same hoods and heroes have been fictionalized with more verve elsewhere.Variety Full Review
Mob City presents a sumptuous-looking period piece with remarkable attention to detail. But beyond that, it all feels a little bit overblown.Zap2it (Inside the Box) Full Review
As an exercise in recreating a noir drama, Mob City has all the trappings we've seen better in "L.A. Confidential" and other projects, but little of the thrill.RedEye Full Review
On its terms, Mob City is competently executed, but those terms are creatively bankrupt. This is a noir for people who don't really like noirs.Slant Magazine Full Review
Mob City fails to make connections between now and the repercussions of the '40s, say, the marginalization of democratic debate, the pathologizing of women's agency and autonomy, and the hysterical politics of fear and insecurity in an increasingly global economy. These daunting themes remain off screen here, leaving only a series of monotonous conversations and shoot-outs.PopMatters Full Review

How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing The Enterprise
Artificial Intelligence (AI), the focus of sci-fi movies and books for a long time, is now making inroads in the enterprise. AI also known as machine learning relies on the intelligence exhibited by machines or software, is playing a beneficial role in the digital era. A Tech Pro Research survey which aimed at finding out how AI will impact the future of IT reveals that nearly two-thirds of the respondents believe AI has immense potential and is good for their business. There were 24 percent currently using AI in their business, or planning to use it in the next year. And another 26 percent are evaluating it for potential use. While relatively nascent, the concept is fast catching up in the business world, believe experts. The AI power race Perhaps one of the best…

Hysterical overreaction to the magnitude of the error is another. I think this phenomena stems from people no longer treating Debian as a fun project that a group of volunteers got together to do -- the paradigm has shifted to people wanting service. This might be a result of Debian growing too large and anonymous -- now people want services, and complain if the service does not meet their standards. This is true also of other role aspects -- DAM, FTP-master, etc. When you are expecting a service, you are the most important component -- your needs must be met. there is no room for erros on the part of the so called service provider. You know, the customer is always right. > shame Indeed.

Gary Will Return, If Lucky
We are nearing the first anniversary of Gary Neville's injury that was initially thought to be not so serious. He was tipped to be out for two weeks at that time but hasn't played ever since.
However, once again he's getting closer to a comeback, something we saw numerous times over the last few months, only to be informed that another setback occurred. This time, hopefully it won't happen.
'Gary is training, the same as last week, and we are hoping there are no more setbacks and that he gets a trouble-free run-in,' Fergie told the Daily Telegraph.
'If he does that, then I have no doubts he will come back.'
In that case I do not have doubts either. But I have serious doubts whether he can avoid further setbacks. Evidence is on my side, unfortunately.

2012 Happiness Challenge: For those of you following the 2012 Happiness Project Challenge, to make 2012 a happier year -- and even if you haven't officially signed up for the challenge -- welcome! Each week, I post a video about some Pigeon of Discontent raised by a reader. Because, as much as we try to find the Bluebird of Happiness, we're also plagued by the Pigeons of Discontent.
For the first month of the Pigeons of Discontent videos, my friend Maria helped me out. This was a fun experiment, but we couldn't really get that format to work properly, so I'm switching back to doing the videos solo.
This week's Pigeon of Discontent, suggested by a reader, is: "I can never get to bed on time."

I think this is a great app for structured run/bike workout. I ran into a problem as some of you that I couldn't use the app anymore. I opened the app and automatically started downloading the workout , but instead of the workout as usual, the app came back with the TrainingPeaks logo. For this I found a solution, I hope it works for you guys. Is is option 2 "The app is closing or returning to the TrainingPeaks logo screen before the workout is downloaded" https://help.trainingpeaks.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001378972?input_string=trainingpeaks+daily+workout+(+on+garmin+935xt)

I also get the 'connect your phone and open the Connect Mobile App'. I can't even delete the Trainingpeaks app. I bought a 735xt because of this app. The 920xt doesen't work with trainingpeaks. Now I know it was just waste of money, I could as well have kept the 920xt.

I have a forerunner 935 and I downloaded the app several weeks ago and it was working terrific! very helpful with complex training and easy to set up on the go. All of a sudden the apps stopped loading the workouts.... Is was showing the downloading workouts screen and once you select the workout the loading screen start running and comes back tot he loaded workout menu without starting any workout. I reseted my watch, re-installed the apps and still not working... my training load is decreasing for all the time I´m loosing to try to make it work. Very disappointing!!

I also get "Please connect your phone and open the Connect Mobile App" error. I have unpaired and paired again the watch several times. There should be a "reset connection" option somewhere

Works just fine with the Garmin 935 Forerunner. Massive massive help for complex workouts like mixed intervals. If the workout stops downloading then it is probably because you have to delete all the other other stored workouts as I have found over the last two weeks. I just followed the help as shown in the link below and it was fine. Again, great app that has been a massive help. Thanks.

I use to like the app on my 820 but now that I have the 1030, just crash all the time! Sometimes, I have to restart the 1030 and then crash again, once on 10x, it works but crash after the first part of the training and I loose everything...

March 15, 2018, TrainingPeaksIQ
Once you are performing the workout you are back in Garmin's workout app, which is the app that is crashing. Make sure that you are using the lastest firmware, if that does not help then contact our Customer Success Team and we will gather some information from you to pass along to Garmin. https://help.trainingpeaks.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I have a Garmin935 and am getting the same issue as many on this forum. Was working prefectly until a week ago, now the daily workout will not download but goes back to the TrainingPeaks logo after saying it is downloading. I have no other workouts stored on the device so not a capacity issue. Seems there is a wider issue, and telling each person to contact the customer service team isn't a great outcome. A bug that needs fixing??
Developer Reply
March 12, 2018, TrainingPeaksIQ
We know that this is a very frustrating problem and are working with Garmin to come up with a fix within the Connect IQ platform itself. The most common cause of the behaviour you are experiencing is that there are either too many workouts stored on the device, which is different than having too many activities saved on the device, or there was a communication error between the Garmin device and the Garmin app on your mobile device. Unfortunately in both cases our app is not receiving the workout file nor an appropriate error message.We ask that users write in to our support team so we can gather additional information about your Garmin device and the make/model of your mobile device, so that we may pass on to Garmin. We also suggest trying the troubleshooting step listed here. https://help.trainingpeaks.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001378972-TrainingPeaks-Daily-Workout-IQ-app-FAQ-and-Troubleshooting

Press Release
Arena Pharmaceuticals' CEO Jack Lief talks to The Wall Street Transcript
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2001--The Wall Street Transcript has published an in-depth interview with Jack Lief, CEO of Arena Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:ARNA), in which he talks at length about the company's future.
Click here to listen to a live webcast for the RBC Dain Rauscher Wessels Biotechnology "Gene To Drugs" Genomics & Life Sciences Conference Issue http://www.twst.com/dr3conference.html
The entire 2,300-word interview is available online at http://www.twst.com/info/info341.htm
Lief gives an overview of the company. "We're a three-year old company that focuses on a technology that significantly reduces the gene discovery to drug discovery process. We look at a particular type of drugable target of cell surface receptors, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Our technology allows us to reduce the time from the receptor gene discovery to the setup of an assay from perhaps a decade to a period of only a few months. And that, as you can imagine, allows us a large number of targets that we can address."
Lief explains, "With the Human Genome Project coming to completion, we see that there will be a huge number of new drugable target opportunities that are going to be becoming available. For diseases that have only been addressed via symptomatic relief, now there is an opportunity to actually cure those types of diseases because receptors are such an important part of how normal cells and normal physiology work in the body."
Looking forward, Lief states, "We have strong revenue growth, which will drive our income statement, both near-term and long-term. We have a huge new drug discovery pipeline, which will discover lead compounds at perhaps 800 different, highly drugable receptor targets. There has never been a company, to my knowledge, that has gone after an entire large class of genomic targets in this fashion to essentially finish the drug discovery process in a relatively short period of time. So I think the short-term prospects are very good for Arena. The medium and long-term prospects are even better."
This interview is part of a 159-page RBC Dain Rauscher Wessels Biotechnology "Gene To Drugs" Genomics & Life Sciences Conference Issue available at http://www.twst.com/info/info341.htm or by calling 212/952-7433

Who is this new me?
Thursday, April 17, 2008
This morning I went to a friend's blog and read about how she is recognising and dealing with the emotional aspects of the journey we are all on, and it got me to thinking.
I realize that I have been dealing with several issues...age and weight.
I sometimes feel that I have two emotional sides. One is the side that is proud of making it to this place in my life:
1) Almost 50 and still going strong
2) More independent and resourceful than ever.
3) Incredibly close and loving relationship with my husband.
4) Kids grown and doing well in their different paths.
5) Business owner with a second company that showed a profit from day one.
Her blog also made me realize that I am dealing with other issues that I tend to stuff down inside of me:
1) I am no longer the young girl that looks great in little sun dresses and I must watch what I wear in order not to look like that dreaded older woman trying to wear her daughter's clothes.
2) After 3 children and nursing for years, my stomach and breasts will never again look as they did when I was in my twenties.
3) And shock of all shocks, I look in the mirror and see an older woman! Grin. It seems, at times, that the person inside does not match the person outside.
So, where do I go from here?
I will continue to grow and embrace myself for who and what I am. I will try to realize that each age brings a new beauty, a graceful confident beauty.
We buy roses to watch them start from little buds to soon open up and reach full bloom with an incredible aroma.
As older women, we are opening up and exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

Can I relate?? hahahah Of course! When I turned 50 I felt as if the world were going to collapse. My health was bad and I felt old. I couldn't even look in the mirror. It was awful. Between the hysterectomy and my husband leaving me there was no life....but, yes there was. After pulling myself up by the bootstraps I started to live again. I became more involved with my children (I had them late so they are still young) and now, with the help of sparkpeople I'm getting smaller and looking better. True, I want to be that 30 year old that was so hot everyone wanted to be with her LOL - but hey, I'm not. I have her inside of me screaming to get out!! Now, I have a wonderful boyfriend who tells me I'm beautiful all the time and that makes a huge difference. There is life after 50, we just have to remember to embrace it and live in and for the here and now. You are a perfect, beautiful example (although not quite 50 yet!)

Great blog-I feel the same way. Some days I look in the mirror and see all the yucky imperfections that have come with age. Sometimes I think, hey you look pretty good for 45! It's definitely been a struggle for me to age. Thanks for putting it into words and getting me to think about it. I try to remember how far I've come in my life and all the joys and accomplishments I have-I guess we've earned our lines and wrinkles & they've helped to make us the beautiful people we are!

What a wonderful blog! You know, that is really true. There ARE different sides to this journey, and the road doesn't end at the fountain of youth. Our skin, muscles, hair, everything is 40something, with a lot of living invested. I think you really raise something important questions for me - what *DO* I really expect to get out of this Sparkpeople journey to a healthier me? Do I have some false expectations that I am not even consciously aware of that may play a role in my level of success and gratification?
I just sent my youngest on his way into the Navy yesterday. My husband and I sat outside last night and talked for a while about how our lives are really going to be different without any kids around now. A whole new chapter in this Sparkpeople book that I'm absolutely ENGROSSED in!
Thanks so much for sharing! And I'm glad you've joined the 40-something team!! Welcome again.

1. General publishing policy
The Faculty research Imprint welcomes proposals for publication from any member of the Faculty in any area of scholarship with which it is customarily concerned. The Editorial Board will consider for publication monographs, editions, conference proceedings, collections of essays and Festschrifts (though not normally plain translations, short papers or single lectures) and other forms of scholarly enterprise, including initiatives of an interdisciplinary character. Given its aim to publish the work both of established scholars and of those new to the profession, it will consider proposals based on doctoral theses provided only that a degree has been awarded and that they satisfy the Editorial Board and its specialist readers. It should be borne in mind that doctoral theses may require rewriting as books, and this may constitute a condition of publication.
2. Proposals
Authors thinking of publishing under this scheme should contact the Senior Editor with a view to talking over the nature of the project and considering the way forward. They will then be invited to complete a standardised proposal form asking for an indication of the title of the book (if only provisional), and of its content, structure and length. The Author will also be asked to describe the contribution of the volume to its field of study and to identify its ideal readership, as well as indicating its state of preparation and its approximate date of completion. The Senior Editor, on behalf of the Board and of its specialist readers, will notify the Author of its decisions and/or recommendations at the earliest opportunity. The Board reserves the right to consider a proposal both on its own merits and in relation to other proposals submitted for its consideration. Should the proposal be accepted for publication, a Memorandum of Agreement will be provided for signature by the Author and by the Senior Editor on behalf of the Board. The Memorandum of Agreement will confirm the responsibilities both of the Author and of the Publisher, as well as the liabilities of the Author in respect of necessary permissions and of material contained in the text itself (see 14 below). Should the proposal be declined, the Board will provide a written explanation of its decision but without commitment to further discussion.
3. Preliminary refereeing and peer review
The Editors will normally seek advice both from internal and from external readers as to the quality of proposals submitted for their consideration. With the permission of these readers and at the discretion of the Senior Editor, their comments will be passed on to the Author for consideration.
4. Length
The Board will consider for publication volumes of any length, provided only that they do not fall below 60,000 words or so, including footnotes but excluding bibliography and indices. Titles will normally be in the range of 80,000-100,000 words but larger projects are in principle a possibility.
5. House style and format
Details of the Imprint's house style, together with a set of general conventions (those established by MHRA) will be provided for the Author, their observance being a condition of publication. The preparation of an index or indices, as of apparatus generally, will be the responsibility of the Author.
6. Illustrations
Illustrations are at present limited to black and white half-tones, though we are advised that full plates will in due course become a possibility. Authors will be liable for any charges incurred by half-tones in excess of twenty. These and all other illustrative material, including line drawings, tables and charts, must be incorporated within the PDF files transmitted to the printers at the point of final submission.
7. Final submission
Final submission will be by way of PDF files prepared according to the specifications of the Printer. At the same time, however, authors will be required to provide the Senior Editor with three hard copies of their text for the purposes of peer review. Details of amendments suggested or required by the Editors or by their external readers will be communicated by the Senior Editor to the Author, and at the discretion of the Board these may constitute a condition of publication. The final submission will consist, not only of the text itself, but (in the case of jacketed books) of cover material and (in all cases) copy suitable for publicity, for which purpose forms will be provided by the Editor.

8. Aspects of production
Upon acceptance of a proposal, and again at the point of production, the Senior Editor will enter into discussion with the Author relative to the size of an initial print run and to other aspects of the book's production, publicity and distribution. The Publisher will bear the costs of ordinary promotion (fliers, web advertising and, eventually, the production of a catalogue).
9. Cover and publicity design
Within the guidelines prescribed by the College for all publications bearing its name, discussion will take place with the Author as to the style both of cover and of promotional material.
10. Copy-editing

Last-second basket gives Trojans 9th straight win
New Prague High's girls basketball team won their ninth straight game in dramatic fashion Friday. Amanda Wagner hit a a last-second basket to sink Holy Angels, 51-49. Earlier in the week, the Trojans defeated Shakopee.
New Prague (13-4, 7-1 Missota) hasn't lost a game since January 5, when Northfield handed them a 59-49 setback. The Trojans are scheduled to get a shot at redemption against Northfield on Thursday, but that game and a 12:30 p.m. Saturday with Mankato West may need to be rescheduled due to a water main break in the Trojan gym.

Mass Effect 2's Newest Toy, Courtesy of Cerberus
Say what you will about Cerberus' tendency to create doomed projects that destroy their respective facilities, but their network doesn't screw around. Coming courtesy of Bioware's DLC apparatus for Mass Effect 2, players with access to the network can now download the Arc Projector, an electrical heavy weapon which can shock multiple targets.
Whether it will supplant the Cain for sheer "where did all the bad guys go?" factor remains to be seen.

Thirty-plus years ago, SCS was one of a few private companies to introduce an independent satellite uplink truck for use by television
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 24, 2013
Robert J. Tomczak, President & CEO of Satellite Communication Systems (SCS) reflects: "Uplink trucks are tech-loaded trucks that will travel anywhere, even outside of the country, to provide satellite links. Thirty-plus years ago, SCS was one of a few private companies to introduce an independent satellite uplink truck for use by television and corporate clients alike. Today, by growing along with the technology, SCS is a proven provider of these services."
How does an Uplink Truck work? Through a complex complement of equipment, the audio and video captured by cameras and microphones is encoded for either High Definition (HD) or Standard Definition (SD) and passed through the transmitters to the satellite dish and ultimately to a satellite 23,000 miles up in the sky. The satellite itself acts as a reflector and send the signal back down to the intended target, whether it be a television network, multiple meeting participants, or millions of anxious viewers.
High Definition Television (HDTV) yields a better-quality image than standard television does because it has a greater number of lines of resolution. The visual information is 2-5 times sharper because the gaps between the scan lines are narrower or invisible to the naked eye. The larger the size of the television the HD picture is viewed on, the greater the improvement in picture quality. Broadcasters offer viewers a full complement of High Definition programming for enhanced viewing. Increasingly, consumers are coming to expect higher resolution images in everything they watch.
SCS offers broadcasters HD support services such as Hi-Def satellite uplinks and Hi-Def production for news, sports, and entertainment events. While consumers are used to the commercial offerings of network and cable television in HD, businesses know that High Definition video can be more than a pretty picture. It can make the message clear -- offering greater clarity for integral graphics and medical imaging. Offering a full complement of HD production services and HD satellite broadcasting, together with expert coordination services, SCS can design a turnkey solution for your next High Definition broadcast in MPEG 4 or MPEG 2 format, at a fraction of the bandwidth.
Tomczak adds: "With Satellite Uplink trucks and services, you can take your message to the world. Professional organizers recognize this as they plan large-scale events such as the Lollapalooza Music Festival or President Obama's election night celebration." When you book an Uplink truck or a transportable downlink through SCS, you will get fully redundant, state-of-the-art electronics and expert engineers. Our Satellite Uplink trucks also have various production capabilities, including High Definition (HD), which is available upon request. SCS is based in the Chicago area and our uplink trucks are within easy range of most Midwest metro areas, including:
- Madison, WI
- Milwaukee, WI
- Indianapolis, IN
- St. Louis, MO
- Louisville, KY
- Des Moines, IA
- Cleveland, OH
- Columbus, OH
- Toledo, OH
- Cincinnati, OH
- Detroit, MI
- Springfield, IL
- Indianapolis, IN
Utilizing a global network of partners, SCS is able to serve its clients' needs for live shots and backhauls virtually anywhere in the world. When utilized as part of a larger event, expertly coordinated by SCS, the Uplink Truck, along with video production, satellite downlinks, and satellite time make up a complete turnkey solution. With value- added elements such as media tour services, web streaming and video conferencing, the possibilities are endless.
About Satellite Communication Systems (SCS):
Satellite Communication Systems and Absolute Conference, leaders in video communication technology over the last three decades, offer a wide array of high-quality web streaming, video conferencing and transportable satellite uplinking services.
SCS was one of a few private companies to first introduce an independent satellite uplink truck for use by television and corporate clients alike.

Urban Legend is a new Hungarian brand of weatherproof cyclewear inspired by the experiences of the designer Zsófi Geréby. I love that this line is specific to people who ride bikes, as I'm sure many of our readers do!
Zsófi, an enthusiastic supporter of urban cycling and a frequent Budapest-based cyclist herself, decided there needed to be a better way for bikers to dress and express themselves year round. The clothing needs to be attractive and yet functional for riding a bike. The fabrics are performance grade and yet don't look like athletic apparel — they look like real clothes. Real, comfortable clothes.
As if that wasn't enough, the pieces in the collection become more than just clothing — they contain QR-codes with different urban legends about Budapest. For Budapest residents, the encoded stories will always be with them and for outsiders, it spreads the secrets of a foreign city to others as one cycles around. I find this particular detail to be most endearing.
Love this top.
This metallic raincoat has my name on it!

The television cameras on the center-field pavilion were ready by 8 a.m. This was must-see-TV in Japan, even though it was only an exhibition game in February.
At last, Hideki Matsui was in pinstripes. And Godzilla, it turned out, was a blockbuster hit.
In his second at-bat for the Yankees, Matsui rifled a home run over the right-field fence at Legends Field today. If people already expected a lot from Matsui, a three-time Japanese home run champion, imagine what they want now.
''I'm very happy that everybody's expectations will be high,'' Matsui said through an interpreter. ''But I just want to go out there and give it my best.''
His best was enough to brighten an otherwise miserable opening to the exhibition season. The Cincinnati Reds beat the Yankees, 9-3, and the Yankees' pitching looked ragged.
The Cuban defector José Contreras, the Yankees' other prized free agent this off-season, gave up five runs before recording his second out. He walked two, threw a wild pitch and gave up a single, a double off the wall and a grand slam to Adam Dunn.Continue reading the main story
Contreras was anxious, and it showed. ''He had a little trouble finding his rhythm,'' said Mel Stottlemyre, the pitching coach. ''Actually, it looked like he was trying to pitch like it was the seventh game of the World Series.''
Matsui had a better perspective, despite the hoopla. The game was broadcast live on two networks in Japan, even though Matsui's first plate appearance, a groundout to third, came at 3:45 a.m. there.
Would he have watched himself if he were back in Japan? ''Absolutely, I would be asleep,'' Matsui said.
The night owls got a treat his next time up, against the left-hander Jimmy Anderson. Matsui, a left-handed hitter, fouled off two pitches with two strikes and worked the count to 3-2. It was raining, and Anderson said later that his pitch slipped from his hand. It came in too high, and Matsui ripped it on a line.
''He hit a rocket,'' Manager Joe Torre said. ''He just hit a bullet.''
Matsui ran hard to first, not sure if the ball would go out. But it carried into a pond beyond the wall, and Matsui slowed to a brisk trot. He took 50 of those in Japan last year.
This time he returned to the dugout for high-fives all around.
Jason Giambi, who was on base, reminded Matsui of his experience last spring. Giambi homered twice in his exhibition debut, then hit no more the rest of camp. ''Don't let that be the last one,'' Giambi told him.
What impressed Giambi most was not the home run but the at-bat that led up to it. Matsui, who walked 114 times while batting .334 last season, saw eight pitches.
''That's part of his game a lot of people don't realize,'' Giambi said. ''He's a great hitter, not just a great home-run hitter.''
Contreras was in the dugout for the homer and admired what he saw. ''It was a perfect swing,'' he said.
Of his own performance, Contreras was not as kind. He retired the last five hitters he faced, three with strikeouts. But Contreras was quite disappointed with his first inning, when he needed four mound conferences with catcher Jorge Posada. Contreras and Posada had trouble with the signals. Contreras's splitter was everywhere, his slider was flat. The pounding he took had no precedent.
''That never happened to me in my 10 years of pitching -- five runs in one inning and a grand slam,'' Contreras said through an interpreter. ''I know it's just baseball, but I have to prepare better. It was my first game here and I wanted to leave a good impression, and I didn't. I know a lot of people were anxious to see me perform, but I wasn't able to give them the results they wanted.''
When Contreras gets in trouble, he tends to work more deliberately. Stottlemyre noticed and tried to let him pick up the pace on his own. He finally went to the mound after the homer. ''It gives me something to look for the next time,'' Stottlemyre said. ''Next time, maybe I'll try to go out when I see it, before the damage is done.''
Contreras is one of three Yankees who would like to be the fifth starter, and the other two -- Sterling Hitchcock and Jeff Weaver -- also struggled in their first inning. Hitchcock started and gave up triples to the first two hitters. Weaver allowed a homer to his second hitter. But all three pitchers recovered and looked fine in their next innings.
''We don't make any evaluations off the first time out,'' Torre said. ''I don't think numbers are going to be the determining factor. It's going to be what we see, and today was step one.''
Second baseman ALFONSO SORIANO did not play because of a sore right shoulder. Soriano took batting practice and said he did not feel it then. After he throws for a while, he said, the discomfort goes away. ''It's nothing,'' Soriano said. . . . STEVE KARSAY, who had back surgery in November, will throw an inning of relief on Friday against Philadelphia. He was not expected to pitch for two weeks. ''It's gotten better every time I've thrown off the mound and every time I've gotten up the next day,'' Karsay said. . . . NICK JOHNSON had his third magnetic resonance imaging test on his sore left wrist on Thursday. ''He's going to light up like a Christmas tree pretty soon,'' JOE TORRE said. Johnson, the Yankees' designated hitter, will visit a hand specialist in Birmingham, Ala., on Friday.Continue reading the main story

We are > planning to make improvements to several portions of the Web site, but > have no site-wide plan on the table at this time. unquote with all due respect to the powers-that-be at w3c, i find this answer inexcusable - why are there no site-wide plans quote on the table at this time unquote? why is there no site-wide co-ordination, or, at the very least, no site-wide accessibility standards for W3C web space? i'm not setting my expectations too high, the w3c has been setting them far too low for far too long vis a vis not only accessibility, but the consumption of its own dog food. how can a consortium which has made a commitment to accessibility, usability, and interoperability NOT have site-wide standards - is that not the raison d'etre of the entire w3c excercise? isn't anything else not only a betrayal of tim berners-lee's vision of the web as open to and accessible to all, as well as a slap in the face of those who have been working assiduously to ensure the accessibility of web content, including yourself? if the w3c can't set standards for its own web space, what hope is there that ANYONE ANYWHERE will adhere to - or put full credence into - what the w3c publishes in contrast to what it practices? this is a compelling reason to move this thread out of the firstname.lastname@example.com cyber-ghetto and into the w3c's larger fora, particularly those which have the ability to set site-wide standards that comply FULLY with the fruits of EVERY working group in the w3c - i personally have waited over six years for these issues to be quote raised unquote outside the ghetto-ized accessibility activity within w3c, but despite repeated efforts and a good deal of recoding and networking, i have been repeatedly fobbed off with excuses, delays, and outright inaction... when will the rest of the w3c take the work of the web accessibility initiative seriously and MANDATE that ALL w3c web space comply with WAI recommendations, where explicit recommendations exist, and work with the WAI on resolving issues where no explicit recommendations yet exist? furthermore, what i am asking be implemented at lists.w3.org isn't quote merely unquote the product of an accessibility-oriented working group - they are part-and-parcel of the HTML4.x and XHTML 1.x recommendations, and hence, the failure to incorporate them into every search form mounted on w3c web space is not only inexcusable, but incomprehensible. i'm not asking for the moon and the stars - simply strict compliance to w3c-generated standards - yes, the w3c may call them recommendations when profferring them to the rest of the world, but internally, they should be the glue that binds the entire w3c effort into an integrated whole, rather than picked-and-chosen piecemeal by each sub-entity of the w3c - either the w3c is an integrated whole, working towards a single objective (an interoperable, accessible, internationalizable web) or it is condemned to be a ghetto-ized organization, which apes the failed commercial model that necessitated the formation of the w3c in the first place. as for your comment that the systems team will not be responding to this issue or updating the firstname.lastname@example.com list of their progress and slash or plans, why would they not report to the list? why the need for an intermediary? is not the systems team responsible not merely to itself, but to the w3c as a whole? do they not serve the w3c as a whole? are they not tasked with implementing w3c recommendations on w3c web space? why should they be insulated from the concerns of those who actually use the fruits of their labor, especially when they have left several of the fruits of the labor of those who participate in w3c working and interest groups rotting on the vine? sincerely, gregory j. rosmaita ------------------------------------------------------------------- A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. -- Dwight D.
