Philadelphia Eagles Sack Defensive Line Coach Jim Washburn
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The foundering Philadelphia Eagles have fired defensive line coach Jim Washburn as they try to fix a broken pass defense amid an eight-game losing streak.
Eagles coach Andy Reid on Monday announced former defensive line coach Tommy Brashear is replacing Washburn.
The Eagles hired Washburn before last season, expecting his wide-nine defensive line alignment to produce plenty of pressure on opposing quarterbacks. The scheme helped the Eagles tie for the league lead with 50 sacks last season but has resulted in only 20 so far this year.
Washburn's firing comes a day after the Eagles dropped to 3-9 with a 38-33 loss to Dallas in which Tony Romo finished 22 for 27 for 303 yards and three touchdowns.
Last week, the Eagles released defensive end Jason Babin, who excelled in Washburn's scheme while in Tennessee.

KeePass Password Safe 1.10 - Passwörter verwalten
- Added configuration file caching (highly increases performance when running KeePass from slow devices like USB sticks).
- Added key provider API (it now is very easy to write a plugin that provides additional key methods, like locking to USB device ID, certificates, smart cards, ... see the developers section in the online KeePass help center).
- Added support for environment variables in URLs and paths (%-syntax support for field placeholders was removed because it conflicts with the environment syntax, see the 'Upgrading to KeePass 1.10' article).
- Added {INTERNETEXPLORER}, {FIREFOX} and {OPERA} application path placeholders (can be used in URLs and auto-type).
- Added support for starting very long command lines.
- Added mini mode (must be configured in the INI file manually; in mini mode, a lot of functionality is hidden; see help file - Technical FAQ).
- The quick find control in the main window now remembers the most recent searches (if you want the search texts to be remembered across sessions, you need to save the database).
- Added password generator option to exclude/omit user-specified characters in generated passwords.
- Added option to disallow repeating characters in generated passwords (both character set-based and pattern-based).
- Moved security-reducing / dangerous password generator options to a separate 'Advanced' dialog (if you enable a security-reducing option, the 'Advanced' button in the password generator window is shown in red).
- Added ability to search using a regular expression.
- Internal random number generator is now additionally seeded using random bytes provided by the system's default CSP.
- Internal random number generator is now additionally seeded using a newly generated 128-bit GUID.
- A default user name for new entries can now be specified in 'File' -> 'Database Settings'.
- Added ability to specify the groups that are automatically created when creating a new database (in the INI file).
- Banner colors can be changed in the INI file now (KeeBannerColorStart and KeeBannerColorEnd, set to BGR-Quads).
- XMLImport plugin: entries with no or empty UUIDs are supported now (KeePass generates new random UUIDs for them).
- KeePass now registers a global sync. application mutex: 'KeePassAppMutexExI' (+ updated Windows installer).
- Added an advanced option to disable the Ctrl-Alt-K hot key.
- Added textual cue for the quick-search edit control.
- The TAN wizard now shows the name of the group into which the TANs will be imported.
- Changed field order: password follows user name now (note: if you use your previous configuration file, the columns in the main window will be ordered the old way; to change it, drag&drop the column headers manually to adjust the order).
- Code improvements (developers: KeePass now requires the Boost C++ libraries to compile).
- Empty fields are not shown in the entry details view any more.
- Improved startup time.
- Improved search performance.
- Improved internal menu handling.
- Group export menu items are now named more consistently.
- Improved print options dialog (replaced "export" by "print", excluded irrelevant export options, ...).
- Search results list display mode is now adjusted based on matching items.
- When trying to open a database that already is currently opened by someone else, you are not prompted any more whether to open it in read-only mode, if the '-readonly' command line argument is present in the current instance.
- Entry list is now automatically focused after a Ctrl-F search and the first item is selected.
- Improved default global configuration file (shipped in setup).
- Improved title drawing in dialog banners.
- Improved entry list update behavior when there are no groups.
- KeePass now uses the default shell verb for opening URLs and files instead of 'open'.
- Optimized performance of process memory protection algorithm.
- The status bar is now updated immediately after performing a quick search (main window).
- Search results are not cleared any more when having an auto- sorting option enabled and performing an operation that modifies a search results entry (like auto-type).
- Replaced 'Gen' button by an image button.
- Minor improvements in the installer.
- Minor improvements in cmd:// URL handling.
- Minor dialog text improvements.
- Password generator does not crash any more when trying to generate a password using an empty pattern + random permuting.
- The Ctrl-Alt-K global hot key correctly brings the KeePass main window to front when it's hidden behind other windows.
- Changing the state of the 'Randomly permute characters of password' option now correctly selects the '(Custom)' profile.

Cheater in costume?
In Touch Magazine claimed last week that Josh Brolin cheated on Diane Lane in New Orleans with some local piece at a bar. They ran the story with a photo of Josh comfortably ensconced between the woman's legs. Click here for a refresher.
I wrote at the time that it's unlikely Diane would leave him. It's not how it works in Hollywood. It often doesn't work that way in the real world either. Celebrities are "just like us!", right?
Josh and Diane were photographed this weekend on a "romantic stroll" after dinner. Those photos should be online very shortly. She's wearing shades and a hat, but they're both smiling, making a big show of being very happy. A classic PR save.
So she either believes him or she's ignoring it. This is how they do.
Here's Josh also this weekend in costume on the set of Jonah Hex.

*Oxidized Sterling Silver is 100% sterling silver that has been oxidized - as surface treatment that results in a dark appearance. Avoid polishing silver to maintain the oxidized look.
*14/20 Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of 14kt gold (which much constitute at least 5% of the item's total weight) mechanically bonded to sterling silver or a base metal. The gold layer found in gold-fill items is usually 50-100x thicker than what is found on a gold-plated item.

My husband, Brian, says he fell in love with me the first time he saw me fire up a Swisher Sweet. We were in college, sitting on logs that surrounded the smoldering embers of the bonfire at Texas A&M. It was 3 a.m., and as we lit our stogies off the dying flames, our faces were illuminated through the ethereal haze. At first I tried to look sophisticated, but soon I gave that up and settled for trying to blow smoke rings. Our laughter rang through the still night air as we cuddled on a log in flannel jackets and muddy boots. It was cold, smoky and terribly romantic.
Over the years, the memorable moments in our lives have been punctuated by celebratory smokes. Our first car, first house, and the arrival of both babies prompted a trip to the tobacconist, though lesser moments have been celebrated as well.
My husband's first promotion? Macanudos. Our first trip to Europe? Cohibas (only Cubans would do). Baby's first tooth? Well, OK, we broke open a bottle of aging Cabernet for that one (but only because the tooth eruption produced hours of howling infant sobs; we needed to take the edge off).
I've come to rely on a good cigar as one of life's finer gifts, as well. My father, uncle and brother have all been the lucky recipients of a good bottle of brandy and a box of maduros. The look on their faces as they unwrap their gifts is priceless, and I've come to relish their appreciation of one of life's finer pleasures. There's no guilt factor; no one can cluck about the reasons why they really shouldn't. It's the male equivalent of giving a woman jewelry; she feels much better about it if it's a gift. It's decadent and delightful, and all the more so if it was someone else's idea in the first place.
My father, in particular, has honed his appreciation of cigars into an art form. A fine cigar is an
event that he'll savor all evening, usually outside, watching the sun set, swirling a glass of brandy.
It's during those times that we've had some of our best moments together, remembering the past,
discussing the present, dreaming about what lies ahead. It's a relaxing, soothing tradition; as the
smoke wreathes his head, his eyes take on a faraway look, and as the rest of the world rushes by, we
stop and savor the moment. Our conversations are slow and thoughtful, punctuated by long, luxurious
draws. The tip of his cigar charges into a fiery orange glow then recedes, changing its mind.
It's hypnotic.
One year my parents, my brother and his girlfriend joined my husband and me for a Colorado skiing vacation. We stayed in a magnificent lodge surrounded by an icy stream and towering cedars. The wildlife was majestic; foxes darted through the trees, eagles soared overhead and an occasional elk wandered by. The lodge had an open cathedral ceiling, crisscrossed by enormous whole-log beams, but the most impressive aspect of the entire setting was the wraparound deck. Soon we found the best feature of all: an eight-person hot tub, on the deck, with a view that included a vista of the Rocky Mountains. We immediately set out in search of a tobacconist; a hot-tub view like that was not to be wasted.
It wasn't until my husband and I moved into a large, spanking-new neighborhood in West Chester, Pennsylvania, that I came to appreciate a good cigar "just for the hell of it." A neighbor, a true aficionado, would sit on his front porch in the evenings and talk about the guestroom in his new house that he was converting into a smoking room, complete with a "kick-ass humidor." I was intrigued.
The humidor, crafted of mahogany, backlit, and moisture- and temperature-controlled, was nothing short of magnificent. It was about the size of a shotgun case, with leaded glass panes that refracted the light into a thousand cigar-filled prisms. The guest bed had been unceremoniously dumped into the basement; an enormous leather library chair and tufted ottoman took its place. A chair rail and leafy ficus rounded out the ambience. This room would make the pope himself want to kick back and light one up.
Soon the whole street was on a cigar kick. We'd meet for weekend barbecues, and before you knew it, someone had broken out a box of Havana honeys. It got expensive, but, hey, what a way to keep up with the Joneses.
One memorable night a few years later, my husband and I headed to Del Frisco's in Dallas to celebrate a recent promotion. At the bar, an icy Cosmopolitan set the stage. Dinner was highlighted by a fork-tender filet that was so good it brought tears to my eyes. We were in no rush, so at about 11 we meandered into the cigar lounge. Feeling mellow, we found an empty chaise and settled in with Davidoffs and a shared glass of Port. The piano man was a dead ringer for Neil Diamond; heads bobbed to "Cracklin' Rosie" while an elegant hostess threaded through the crowd. "Tell me when you're ready to go," my husband said with a gleam in his eye. He's always found women smoking cigars sexy, and as I glanced around the room, I realized he was right. In one corner a tall blonde held a Martini in one hand and a petit corona in the other. She was laughing softly with a friend, a stunning brunette with smoldering dark eyes. We were in good company.
It no longer takes a special event, vacation, holiday or block party to encourage us to enjoy a fine cigar. It's not an everyday occurrence, but on some evenings, when the sun is setting just right, or when a chill is in the air, nothing is better than a good cigar. I relax as the smoke begins to rise, inhaling the rich, pungent aroma, and one thought comes to mind: life is good.

I am not doing a lot of crafting right now. I have been finding it hard to concentrate on it. I did start a new therapy based hobby that had proven to be helpful. My therapist suggested a journal and as I was getting into it I discovered bullet journals and travelers notebooks.
It's kinda a mix of art, writing and planning. I have a collection of journals, craft paper, stickers, stamps and lots and lots if ink, colored pencils and pens now lol.
If I can figure out how to do photos from my phone I will share some pictures. You can follow my Instagram also. It's not updated alot but I do share my craft stuff there. @Rheassi_Musings
No new soaps or candles but I am trying to get back to my cross stitch. I would like to do a birth sampler for our first grandchild who is due to arrive in December.
I have not pulled out my beads or charms in a while but I want to make some journal charms and some beaded bookmarks at some point. My craft stuff is really disorganized. I gave my craft room to our eldest when she moved back home so my bedroom looks like a craft store exploded in it. One day I will get it organized

Cell Phone Radiation
Air Tube Head sets
Cell Phone Video Reports
Cell Tower Articles
Cell Phone Protection Products
The Bioinitiative Group has produced a report called: A Rationale for a Biologically-based Public Exposure Standard for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF ((Radio Frequency))). In that report, evidence for childhood leukemia caused by exposure to power lines is addressed as well as the issue of gliomas and acoustic neuromas caused by cell phone and cordless phone use. They state, In summary we conclude that our review yielded a consistent pattern of an increased risk for acoustic neuroma and glioma after 10 (or more) years mobile phone use. We conclude that (the) current
standard for exposure to microwaves during mobile phone use is not safe for long-term brain tumor risk and needs to be revised.
The report further states, The existing FCC and international limits for public and occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation are not protective of public health. New biologically based public and occupational exposures are recommended to address bioeffects and potential adverse health effects of chronic exposure. These effects are now widely reported to occur at exposure levels
significantly below most current national and international limits.
It therefore behests our scientific societies to address this issue. There is one caveat; that is, only one group, Hardell et al, have carried out actual studies pertaining to the issue and found a clear relationship between brain tumors and ELF. No other long-term studies have been carried out; Dr Khurana's warning is based on a review of literature only. It seems that a cooperative effort by both the scientific community and state governing bodies will be needed. Some spearhead is now necessary in view of the magnitude and seriousness of the situation.

Unlike energy, water is a tangible resource; we can control its usage relatively easily. This is a good thing, given that climate change, population growth, and other factors are forcing our rivers to run dry and our lakes and water-table levels to drop. When it comes to making a difference, the seemingly small steps that we take toward reducing our individual "water footprints" (collecting rainwater for plants, taking less-indulgent showers, even observing Meatless Mondays) become ever more important drops in what is ultimately a single global bucket.
We've got a whole host of ways for you to save the precious resource, including taking shorter showers and reducing junk mail.
Toxic materials like paint, oil, harsh cleansers, and medications can eventually make their way into bodies of water. Contact your local sanitation, public works, or environmental health department to find out about hazardous-waste collection days and sites.
Hosing down a vehicle in your driveway can use 60 gallons of water or more in just five minutes. Professional car washes that have been certified by the WaterSavers program use 40 gallons or less per car and return clean water to the environment.
Along with containing less water, concentrates require less packaging and less energy to produce, says Paul McRandle of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
Conventional drain cleaners contain toxic chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide. Pour equal parts baking soda, white vinegar, and boiling water down the drain. Let sit for half an hour before rinsing.
Ford has committed to reducing 30 percent of its water usage per vehicle by 2015. The company also says that between 2000 and 2010 it reduced its total global water use by 62 percent (more than 10 billion gallons).
This fall, Method will bottle its green cleaning products in containers made out of plastic collected from the ocean.
An Oakland, California–based company called Fogbusters has developed a way to separate fat, oil, and grease from wastewater without using chemicals. Its clients already include such big names as Cargill and Cadbury.
Attaching an aerator to your existing faucet can save you up to 500 gallons a year. We particularly like the Neoperl 1.5 GPM Household Aerator Replacement Kit, which comes with four replacement aerators and a durable wrench for installation.
(homedepot.com for stores)
Check out your water system's Consumer Confidence Report, which will detail contaminants and violations of water-quality standards. (You can find it at epa.gov.) Private wells aren't regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act, so if you've got one of those, you'll want to test it annually.
Place your colander over a bowl in the sink when draining to save the starchy water. You can use it in the sauce or as a base for soup.
Only want one cup of tea? Then heat exactly that amount of water.
Put a rain barrel below your gutter downspout and you'll capture a little more than half a gallon of water for every square foot of roof during a one-inch rainfall -- that means a 90-square-foot roof would completely fill a 55-gallon barrel! You can use that bounty to water your garden.
Keep track of how much H2O your plants are getting with a rain gauge (from $25, gardeners.com) so that you don't do double-duty with the hose.
Put a few drops of food coloring in your toilet tank and check the bowl after 15 minutes; if the color has seeped in -- without flushing -- you have a leak. Fixing it can save up to 1,000 gallons (about 200 flushes) a month. Often, what's needed is a new flapper, or "valve seal," which you can find in just about any hardware store.
You're probably already careful about this when brushing your teeth, but what about while rubbing soap on your hands or scrubbing a dish? If you want to score some major points, start taking Navy-style showers: Wet your face and body, shut off the water as you shampoo and lather up, and then finish it all off with a quick rinse.
If the one you currently have fills a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds or drips (wasting up to 90 gallons daily), consider an upgrade. An EPA WaterSense–labeled model could save more than 2,300 gallons annually and conserve enough electricity to power your television for a year.
Shaving just one minute off your typical time will save 2.5 gallons of water. Need help? Try the Water Pebble ($10, uncommongoods.com). Placed in your drain, it records your first shower as a benchmark and then takes a few seconds off each subsequent shower, by flashing green, yellow, and red lights to help you pace yourself.
Find out how much water you really use -- both directly and indirectly -- with the Water Footprint Calculator, or download the Waterprint iPhone app (free, itunes .com). Then let your results motivate you to act.
"Food accounts for at least half of your water footprint," says Kai Olson-Sawyer, a research and policy analyst at Grace Communications Foundation. "Eating less meat is the key to reducing it, because of all the water needed to raise the livestock." Start by skipping red meat -- it takes 1,857 gallons of water to produce a single pound of beef. (Pork, chicken, and lamb require much less.)
About 28 billion gallons of water are used to produce all of that unwanted paper. Sign up with dmachoice.org to take your address off direct-marketing lists.

As someone with high self-confidence, you feel quite comfortable interacting with other people. Indeed, you find the company of others very stimulating and enjoy meeting new people. Your relaxed demeanor in groups makes people around you comfortable too. Perhaps because you feel comfortable talking about yourself, others tend to enjoy being around you and perceive you as socially competent.
The confidence that helps you feel comfortable talking to people also spills into your own personal beliefs about yourself. Although you have several strengths, it's likely that you also acknowledge and accept your weaknesses. But unlike some people, you take full responsibility for your actions—you rarely regret things you've done in the past and are not embarrassed easily.
Perhaps the defining feature that sets you apart from most people is the exceptionally high standards that you set for yourself. Your competence in social gatherings as well as at work should provide ample evidence for this. With these characteristics, it's very likely that people come to you for advice and generally think of you as someone with leader-like qualities.
Family Orientation
As someone who is oriented to familial matters, you value the company of family-members and domestic life. If you have children already, you enjoy spending time with them very much and work hard to be a good parent. If you don't have children, you very much desire having children in the future. And your preference for cooking and entertaining guests at home will likely ease the transition into parenthood.
You take pride in maintaining and cultivating a healthy family and work hard to achieve this. This natural tendency is easily illustrated by your preference for doing things around the house as opposed to going out to clubs and restaurants.
What really sets you apart from people that are low in family orientation is that you know how to manage your frustrations and work well on your own. This means that you are well-equipped to manage a family without letting all the work that is involved wear you down. However, as someone with strong family values, all the work that is involved in maintaining a tidy home and well-stocked kitchen might occasionally make it difficult for you to finish everything that you need to do.
The self-control personality dimension captures the way in which a person regulates and directs him or herself. Being high in self-control can be both good and bad. Occasionally people may be compelled to follow their intuitions and give in to their temptations, and your degree of self-control reduces this from happening. This can be especially good in circumstances where focus and control are very important. However, on certain occasions being able to let loose and give in to one's temptations can be fun and even healthy (as long as it's in moderation).
As someone who exerts a fair amount of control over your actions, you have the potential to stress yourself out too often. For example, you may be inclined to take more responsibility on projects, which isn't always necessary. This might be because you have a tendency to attend to details and worry that others may not be able to do as good of a job noticing such details as yourself. You might feel uncomfortable delegating work to other people and as a result experience high amounts of stress.
Although having strong self-control is generally good, you may feel frustrated when others do not recognize it as such. Your friends and coworkers might perceive your self-control as being stubborn. And, you probably find such people difficult to be with, especially in work contexts.
What really sets you apart from people with low in self-control is that you have a tendency to experience strong emotions but work hard not to let your feelings influence how you make decisions. Moreover, you take pride in this unique ability even though you recognize that other people might be put off by it.
As someone high in openness, you have a strong appreciation for beauty, both in art and nature. Indeed, it's likely that you are easily absorbed in music and art, as well as natural phenomena. Another aspect of your openness is your emotional insight; that is, you probably have good access to and awareness of your own emotions.
Another aspect of the openness dimension is the tendency to think about abstract concepts and ideas. This thinking style may take the form of artistic and metaphorical use of language, and/or music composition or performance. Thus, it is likely that, either in your work or spare time, you enjoy activities that get your "creative juices" flowing.
Your tendency to be open-minded can have advantages and disadvantages. For instance, when there are no clear rules about how to approach a particular problem, your openness makes it easier for you to identify new ways to solve problems that might not be very obvious to people that are not as open as you are. In contrast, you may be bored easily in situations that lack high amounts of intellectual stimulation. In such cases, you might have difficulty excelling on projects that do not provide much stimulation or require much creative thinking.
Easygoingness refers to one's ability to relax. Based on your score, you appear to "take things as they come" and enjoy having a good time. However, being high in easygoingness also has the potential to produce stress in a number of ways. For example, you may find it difficult to complete tasks thoroughly and efficiently. In this way, being high in easygoingness cannot only make your life difficult, but also the lives of the people around you. Another potential problem with being too high in easygoingness is that it can provide you with gratification in the short-term, but in the long-term provide undesirable consequences.
High easygoingness, even when not seriously destructive, may also diminish your effectiveness at work, for example. You may find it aversive and difficult to put in all the effort that may sometimes be needed to effectively accomplish certain tasks. For this reason, your colleagues might view you as forgetful and unfocused.
How does your personality affect your love life?
With your strong degree of self-confidence, it's no surprise that you get along well with most people. Indeed, it's self-confidence that allows people to feel comfortable interacting with others without feeling insecure and vulnerable. For this reason, you shouldn't have much difficulty in romance, at least not initially. Your social skills will likely help relieve any anxiety your romantic partners might have on those first few dates. However, over time, the high standards that you have for yourself could potentially frustrate your partner.
Given how much you value family life, you probably get along best with people who share your values and beliefs. In fact, it's likely that you maintain close connections with members of your immediate and distant family. For this reason, you would probably be most satisfied in a romantic relationship with someone who also values domestic life.
Being in a relationship with someone who enjoys going out to parties and staying-up late at night might be fun, at least initially; yet it's likely that you will find this tiring over time. Thus, it might be easier and more satisfying for you to develop a long-lasting relationship with a person who also enjoys spending time at home and desires starting a family.
You may find it difficult to get along well with everybody. Although you may very well like most people, those that seem to be lazy or impulsive might get on your nerves. For this reason, you would probably be most satisfied in a romantic relationship with a person who also has high self-control. Being in a relationship with someone who has less self-control might be fun at first, but it's likely that you both will become somewhat irritated with each other over time. Thus, it might be easiest and most satisfying for you to develop a long-lasting relationship with a person who is equally capable of regulating his/her urges and feelings.
Your openness probably makes it easy for you to respect and appreciate people that are different from you. However, when it comes to romantic relationships, your openness might make it difficult for you to tolerate people that cannot appreciate diversity as much as you. Therefore, you may be happiest in serious relationships with people that share your open-mindedness. But, your openness might occasionally cause a certain degree of dependency on your end because you may be so open that you easily adopt the preferences and habits of your partners and gradually relinquish things that make you so unique.

The Christ Statue on Corcovado Mountain
The image of the Christ Statue on Corcovado overlooking Rio is for sure among the most well known in the world. When I got here to Rio the first time I actually didn't know that there were two famous hills in Rio; The hill with the statue and the Sugarloaf, the latter has a cable car and is a completely different hill.
The statue, also referred to as Christ the Redeemer or in Portuguese Cristo Redentor, is located more than 700 meters above the sea on top of Corcovado Mountain and offers fantastic views of the city. Being one of The Seven New Wonders of the World you realize it is really something worthwhile visiting.
Weekends it gets really crowded. Make sure the weather is good, being high above sea level in a rainforest it is not uncommon to have zero visibility. Phone number to the train company is 2558-2700. The Christ Statue in Rio is definitely one of the most spectacular places I have ever been to, you should go there!
How to Get to the Top of Corcovado?
There are a few viable ways:
Bus + Train – From Copacabana and Ipanema you can catch bus number 583 and from Largo do Machado catch either the 422, 569 or 498 which all go to Cosme Velho from where the train departs. You can also buy the subway + bus integrated ticket that stops at the same stop. The train to the summit departs every 30 minutes between 08:30h-19:00h Monday to Sunday. Prices for the train (access to the statue is included) is 51 R$ roundtrip Mon-Fri low season and 62 R$ high season plus all Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays; children 5 to 12 years old are half price and under 5's go for free (information as of April 2015). Check out the official train site by clicking here.
Taxi + Train – Same as above, only that you go by taxi to the train station at Cosme Velho. A lot faster if you live in Copacabana, Ipanema or Leblon, but more expensive.
Van – From the subway station at Largo do Machado you can take a van all the way to the top and back, the same service you have from Praça do Lido in Copacabana. Tickets are sold at a ticket booth at the subway station which is open every day 08:00h-17:00h. Prices with entrance included are slightly less than to go by train and varies by season. To make sure that you get your seats on busy days you can book in advance online, just use this link to get to the site. It's available in English and is straightforward to use (you can pick up the voucher at a collection place of your choice).
Organized Tours – There are quite a few organized day tours and frequently the Christ Statue is included in the itinerary. Like Brazil Expedition, old friends of mine run this company.
Hiking – From the lake, close to Parque Lage there is a trail going to the top of Corcovado (however it is not easy to find the entrance) which takes a few hours to climb to the summit. Warning; There have been occurrences of muggings and other petty theft on this trail so it may be a good idea to leave the camera at home. You pay the entrance at the top.


text: Have been in a relationship since 4years . we were more of best friends than lovers. Everything was fine. Until my bf says that he has no feelings for me. Instead he likes another girl from our college. I hated this because he has been speaking to her since 2months but as friends . He also says that she is not the cause of our break up. I wouldn't have minded it if he had a problem with me. He says I have changed since the last 1.5 yrs.. But I never noticed any change in our relationship. I would know if it changed because he was never of that type that he would act to impress me. When he told me this, I spoke very rudely to him. And said that I did not even want to be friends with him. He was taken aback coz he said how could I just end a 4yrs friendship. But I couldn't bear the fact that he was disloyal to my friendship.. Our families knew each other and were very close . They knew we liked each other but didn't know that we were in a relationship.. they trusted us a lot. I was very happy with him and I knew that love actually existed between us. I have no idea how things suddenly changed. We were so loyal that my friends found it hard to believe the fact that he did this.after the break up he apologized to me and said I can punish him like whatever I want but not that girl. He said he is ready to bear anything.. Still After the break up I gave him many chances to plead to gain my friendship.. he did a few times . But not to an extent to which He should after he hurted me this much .. Now I think he is tired of this . It's been only 1 month and now he constantly keeps telling me that he is madly in love with her and he wants to marry her and things like that. I can't believe my ears as the guy who never told things to me like that in these 4years has said that he wants to marry a girl with whom he has been in a relationship since only 1month.. He never thought how I would feel when he said all this stuff. N now we don't speak to each other. I feel bad that he did this. I don't know whether I did the right thing. And I don't know what to tell my parents.. why did our friendship end? And I have no grudge against that girl.. but this guy I have known for 4years n I pretty sure know wasn't like this.. he really did love me truly for what I am.. we were never physically attached.. he always admits that I was his best friend even after break up.. but he changed slowly over just 1month... I am totally lost why this happened and what will happen in future , how will I face to see them going together in college. Please help

It's amazing the power of a natural view. Various research projects over the years have proven the benefits of bringing nature into man-made spaces. It's called biophilic design and it can help employees to be more productive, hospital patients to recover quicker and encourage children to learn.
If we consider that we spend some 90% of our time in built environments, it is imperative that the spaces we occupy enhance health and quality of life. Incorporating biophilic principles in a design can have the strongest positive effect on our psyche.
Looking out a window with views of natural vegetation has profound influences on human behaviour. A productivity study on workers in a call centre in Sacramento found that agents processed calls 6% to 12% faster when they had the best possible view versus those with no view. Another study showed that workers with a natural view recovered from low-level stress at a much quicker rate than those who only had a view of a blank wall. An outdoor perspective has been linked in several cases to enhanced productivity and greater levels of creativity.
Yet more positive data points to a 21% decrease in pain medication costs in hospitals where patients enjoyed a natural view. Then there are the educational statistics where schools with access to natural light reported an 18% increase in test scores. In general, access to sunlight, outdoor views and ventilation reduces eye strain and relieves mental fatigue. A simple view of the outdoors can also promote attendance – research confirms that 10% of workplace absenteeism can be attributed to a lack of access to nature.
It's important then to understand the elements at play in true biophilic design. Design features must incorporate and connect aspects of the natural world that have traditionally offered sustained benefits to people (sunlight, water, green vegetation). It also must take an entire location into consideration. Biophilia is not a single occurrence of nature in a built environment (so putting a pot plant on everyone's desk doesn't count!) Biophilic design encompasses an integration of natural components that have an overall positive impact on the health and performance of the individuals who occupy the space.
If we know humans inherently seek out key aspects of a natural landscape in an urban environment, it makes so much sense to apply spatial design concepts that offers multi-sensory stimulation. This can include everything from the use of organic materials like wood and stone to natural textures, patterns and imagery, to installations like living walls, aquariums and fish ponds, and of course, access to outdoor views and spaces.
The use of natural elements to enhance buildings is a trend that is here to stay. The fact that we take our natural affinity to be close to all things green rather seriously is highlighted by the results of a recent global report: 33% of respondents confirmed that office design would impact a decision to accept a job or not.
When we understand that biophilic design can have a direct influence on our ability to attract talent, as well as boost a company's bottom line, we know that it should be an essential element of every modern office space.
* Biophilia literally means 'a love of life and the living world'

Policing & safety on Cape Town beaches
CapeTalk | With thousands expected to visit local shores, there are challenges in ensuring the safety of the public from both crime and water safety perspective. Listen as NSRI spokesman Craig Lambinon urges the public to be alert.
JOHANNESBURG - We're approaching that time of the year where beaches are the most popular escape for residents and visitors to the Mother City.
With thousands visiting local beaches, there are challenges in ensuring the safety of the public from both crime and swimming safety perspective.
A few of Cape Town's beaches have been targets for thieves and criminals.
Recent reports quoted some fishermen who say that at this time of the year in particular, they fish in groups and arm themselves with weapons.
There have also been several incidents of beachgoers being caught up by swells in the sea and some drownings.

"EXPAREL is an ideal product for our
About Pacira
About EXPAREL®
EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) is indicated for single-dose infiltration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia. The product combines bupivacaine with DepoFoam, a proven product delivery technology that delivers medication over a desired time period. EXPAREL represents the first and only multivesicular liposome local anesthetic that can be utilized in the peri- or postsurgical setting in the same fashion as current local anesthetics. By utilizing the DepoFoam platform, a single dose of EXPAREL delivers bupivacaine over time, providing analgesia with reduced opioid requirements for up to 72 hours. Pivotal studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of EXPAREL in patients undergoing bunionectomy or hemorrhoidectomy procedures and additional studies are underway to further demonstrate the safety and efficacy in other procedures. Additional information is available at www.EXPAREL.com.
Important Safety Information
EXPAREL is contraindicated in obstetrical paracervical block anesthesia. EXPAREL has not been studied for use in patients younger than 18 years of age. Non-bupivacaine-based local anesthetics, including lidocaine, may cause an immediate release of bupivacaine from EXPAREL if administered together locally. The administration of EXPAREL may follow the administration of lidocaine after a delay of 20 minutes or more. Other formulations of bupivacaine should not be administered within 96 hours following administration of EXPAREL. Monitoring of cardiovascular and neurological status, as well as vital signs should be performed during and after injection of EXPAREL as with other local anesthetic products. Because amide-type local anesthetics, such as bupivacaine, are metabolized by the liver, EXPAREL should be used cautiously in patients with hepatic disease. Patients with severe hepatic disease, because of their inability to metabolize local anesthetics normally, are at a greater risk of developing toxic plasma concentrations. In clinical trials, the most common adverse reactions (incidence greater-than or equal to 10%) following EXPAREL administration were nausea, constipation, and vomiting.
Please see the full Prescribing Information athttp://www.exparel.com/pdf/EXPAREL_Prescribing_Information.pdf.

Get Clicky Analytics Basics
Clicky is a fun yet useful service that offers a variety of plans for tracking real-time metrics on your website. The free plan lets you track one website up to 3,000 page views a day and gives you access to real-time analytics on referrers, site visitors, segmentation, searches, and more. Clicky isn't customizable like Google Analytics is, but if you want something that is prepackaged and set to run with minimal input from you, Clicky may be just what you need.
One of the best features of Clicky is the Spy feature. It lets you spy on people as they use your site in real time. This feature can give you invaluable user data on how people navigate your site. Do they go where you want them to from each landing page? How long do they stay? Do they find what they need? Clicky doesn't drain your bandwidth, so you don't lose time waiting for the information to load for you.
Spend some time watching your site's real-time visitors. Their activity tells you more about how well your site was designed faster than almost anything else. You can pinpoint design successes and mistakes and improve your site dramatically.
The other features of Clicky tell you similar metrics to those in Google Analytics, but without a few of the customization options Google Analytics has. Like Google Analytics, Clicky offers segmentation, which allows you to dig more deeply into your metrics to find out better answers to questions about your site demographics and use cases.
Clicky has a variety of apps and plug-ins you can use, including a Chrome plug-in, a Windows dashboard, WordPress and Drupal widgets, and code you can manually integrate into your sites and apps to get even more data fed to your Clicky metrics account. (Heck, it even has code for older sites like MySpace). The folks at Clicky have made it very easy to put Clicky everywhere you need it to be.

Pam is survived by her sister, Pat Richardson and brother-in-law, David in North Carolina, their sons Brian and David, and Brian's children, Danielle and Brandyn Richardson of Colorado Springs. Pam is also survived by her half-brother, Terry Newman and his daughter, Mary, of Woodland Park-Colorado Springs.

Wawryzniak as her "little brother," along with his family; and Pam's attentive neighbors, John and Lucy, all of Greeley-Kersey area of Colorado.

M. Eloise Philips
Dec. 15, 1918-June 13, 2013
Age: 94
Residence: Greeley
M. Eloise Gibson Philips, 94, passed away June 13, 2013, at Bonell Good Samaritan Center. Eloise, the only child of James Elgin and Mary Black Gibson, was born on Dec. 15, 1918, in College Springs, Iowa.
As a high school student, she was head librarian at the College Springs High School from which she graduated in 1936. She attended Sterling College in Sterling, Kan., from 1936- 38, taught for one year in a country school in Reno County, Kan., then returned to Sterling College and graduated with a bachelor's degree in English in 1941. Upon graduation, she taught English and history at Hazard High School in Hazard, Neb., for one year. She met William H. Philips Jr. at Sterling College, and they married on Sept. 12, 1942, in College Springs. He preceded her in death on April 9, 1995. She served with her husband at the Mission Avenue United Presbyterian Church in Spokane, Wash., from 1944-47. They then served in foreign missions in Sudan, East Africa, for 17 years. After returning from Sudan, they served in churches in Fort Morgan from 1966-74, and in LaSalle from 1974-83. After retirement, they moved to Greeley and continued to serve as interim pastor for several Colorado churches and ended their ministry at First Presbyterian in Greeley.
Eloise did volunteer work at both the Fort Morgan and Greeley hospitals. She was a member of United Presbyterian Women of the First Presbyterian Church of Greeley. She kept in touch with numerous missionaries over the years; sharing her care and prayers with each of them. She was an avid reader until failing eye sight made it impossible. Many, especially in the Bonell Community, mention her quick wit and easy smile as something that brightened their day. She loved knowing of the activities of her extended family and would often recall the antics of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will miss her very much, yet know that as her health declined, she began to anticipate her home-going.
Survivors include two daughters, Margaret Cheasebro and husband Wally of Aztec, N.M., and Barbara Caywood and husband Donald of Sterling, Kan.; one son, James and wife Vicky of Greeley; seven grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren and another due in August.
Preceding her in death were her parents; her husband; and one daughter, Mary Alice.
Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. Monday at Stoddard Funeral Home, with a celebration of life at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Stoddard Funeral Home.
Memorial gifts may be given to First Presbyterian Church of Greeley or Sterling College in Kansas, in care of Stoddard Funeral Home, 3205 28th St., Greeley, CO 80634.

The swing states of Obamacare
Three states could have an outsize role in the success — or failure — of Obamacare.
California, Florida and Texas are home to more than one-third of the nation's 46 million uninsured people. If the White House and its allies can't convince large chunks of the uninsured in those three states to enroll in the Affordable Care Act's new insurance exchanges, the administration could have a very hard time reaching its enrollment goals.
Story Continued Below
"They have set out 7 million as their goal for enrollment in the first year and politically, getting close to 7 million is important," said Caroline Pearson, vice president at Avalere Health. The enrollment period starts Oct. 1 and runs through March.
( Also on POLITICO: Mythbusters: Obamacare edition)
If Obamacare were a presidential race, these would be the "swing states." Instead of a trove of voters, they've got millions of uninsured, and they'll get high-profile administration visits, money, resources and loads of national press attention. And many of those uninsured are the "young invincibles" — the young healthy people who need to be brought into the new insurance markets to balance out the older and sicker customers.
"You look at the big states because that's where the large numbers are," said Joel Ario, former director of HHS's office of insurance exchanges and now a managing director at Manatt Health Solutions.
President Barack Obama, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and outside groups such as Enroll America are already dedicating time and resources to playing big in Texas and Florida — the two states with the largest uninsured population and resistance from the local Republican-led governments.
( PHOTOS: 25 unforgettable Obamacare quotes)
Obama also gave one of his rare health care speeches on a June visit to California, which is the only one of the big three to embrace the health law and put significant money and energy of its own into outreach.
But just like in an election, there's more than one way to do the math. These three "swing" states could have an outsize impact, but the White House and its allies are also putting energy into a second tier of high-impact states that have lots of uninsured people — and in most cases GOP governors who to varying degrees oppose the president's health law. They include Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Illinois.
Enroll America, the nonprofit with close ties to the former Obama campaign operation, has hired staff to run a ground game on enrollment in these states, plus Florida and Texas. In most of them, the states refused to set up the exchanges or marketplaces — the online portals where people can sign up for insurance and qualify for tax subsidies — so the federal government had to step in.
In California, which has more uninsured residents than any other state, the local government is doing the heavy lifting on Obamacare enrollment, supplemented by what's expected to be occasional visits by the White House, like that June visit by Obama to tout California's early success in carrying out the law.
( Also on POLITICO: Obamacare foes mount final stand)
The state government has already provided a staggering $43 million for enrollment outreach alone. The state's exchange authority has gotten money to pay enrollers $58 for each successful application. And California began holding town hall events and other outreach on the ACA well before most other states.
Here, the law — and the president — is so popular among the uninsured that they train volunteers to call it Obamacare. In most other states, volunteers are taught to use less politically charged terms.
Because of the money and resources, California is frequently touted as the state that is implementing the Affordable Care Act most actively and aggressively. The stakes couldn't be higher.
