A brave decision by Angelina Jolie
Jolie announces double mastectomy to prevent breast cancer.
Actress Angelina Jolie has announced today that she has undergone a double mastectomy to prevent her developing breast cancer. Jolie, who saw her mother die of the disease at 56, has a rare gene which gave her an 87 per cent chance of developing the disease and says she took the decision in order to be around for her children. She also has a high risk of ovarian cancer.
All kudos to Ms Jolie for taking the opportunities offered by modern medicine, for being brave enough to announce it when she is so public a figure and famed for her beauty, and for having continued to carry out her work as a UN ambassador campaigning on behalf of women raped in war while undergoing several procedures for the removal and reconstruction of her breasts.
I wish her a speedy recovery and long life, and hope that if she has to make a similar decision to have her ovaries removed that she is able to do so with the same grace and equanimity.

Very sad to hear the news this morning of the death of the conductor Sir Colin Davis. His recordings have given me many hours of pleasure. RIP Sir Colin. Thank you for Mozart, thank you for Sibelius, thank you for A Child of Our Time. I hope you've crossed over into campground.
Marks and Spencer launches Schwop Shop in Marble Arch
Celebs donate unwanted garments.
Marks and Spencer (M&S) has launched an Oxfam charity pop-up 'shwop' shop at its Marble Arch flagship store to encourage shoppers to pass on items of unwanted clothing.
Garments have been donated by more than 40 celebrities, including Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe, Joanna Lumley and Pixie Lott, and the shop will be staffed by some famous faces.
To gain entry, shoppers have to bring in an unwanted item of clothing as a donation, which Oxfam will then re-use or recycle.
"The aim is to change people's attitudes towards clothes recycling and give unwanted garments a future," said Adam Elman of M&S. "We hope this will inspire a new generation of shwoppers who see fashion and sustainability as one."
M&S began its Schwop scheme, allowing shoppers to bring in used or unwanted clthing, back in April 2012, since when 2.8 million garments have been donated.

Beauty news, 12 November 2012
Beauty news and releases this week
* Niche French perfumery Serge Lutens has launched a US website, enabling US customers to buy the Palais Royal exclusive range online for the first time. Prices are in line with the firm's (very few) US distributors, such as Barney's (so a perfume that costs 130 euros in Europe costs $300 in the US – about 235 euros). This, the firm assures me, is because of the tax situation in the US, though it also makes sense that the firm can't undercut its distributors. The French site has also been revamped to match the US one, and as well as a new look and feel, both sites now group the fragrances into families and give brief, poetic descriptions to make it easier to understand the fumes, if you're not so familiar with them. The sites are also smartphone enabled, so you can browse while you're mobile.
* Chanel has called on the European Commission to change its fragrance regulatory system, for fear it will mean the abandonment of some of its classic fragrances. In July, the scientific safety arm of the EC recommended the withdrawal or limiting of many 'potential allergens' that have been used in classic perfumery for decades, including oakmoss, which is used in Chanel No 5 and Miss Dior. If the regulations went ahead, about 90 per cent of the classic perfumes would be affected, including those by Guerlain and Dior.
* The EC is to take another look into the safety of parabens it has previously designated as safe to use in cosmetics products, following Denmark's ban on any parabens in products for infants. Denmark is particularly concerned about leave-on products that are applied to bare skin. Parabens are widely thought to be endocrine disruptors.
* France has a new brand in town: high-end, Brazilian-style haircare brand, Orphya. It comprises Lissage Bresilien Absolu (83 euros for a kit); Bain Lissant Absolu (200ml, 23 euros); Serum Brushing Absolu (100ml, 35 euros) and Masque Absolu (150ml, 34 euros). All the products are made in France.
* Fragrance firm Diptyque has announced its Christmas candles for this year: Sapin Doré (galbanum, eucalyptus, pine, armoise and fir balsam), Oud Ambrée (saffron, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper, oud wood, cedar, patchouli, gaiac wood and armoise) and Oliban (citron, elemi, Somalian incense, myrrhe, vetiver, Peru balsam, benzoin and olibanum). All cost 28 euros for 70g, 52 euros for 190g, and come in in green, red and blue gilded glass pots, respectively.
* To mark its 25th anniversary, German naturals firm Lavera has revamped its Soins Bien-Etre bodycare range, with reformulations and new packaging. There are six lines, each with five to seven products costing 4-10 euros: Orange Feeling; Rose Garden; Lime Sensation; Honey Moments; Lavender Secrets and Coconut Dream. For autumn-winter 2012, it is also launching a new limited edition – Macadamia-Passion with two products: l'Huile Crème de douche and Beurre Corporel. Among the best-value for money naturals you can buy, in my opinion. Available from health food shops.
* Niche perfumer Mauboussin has announced a trio of new fragrances: Mauboussin Pour Lui, Mauboussin Neroli and Mauboussin L'Elixir Pour Elle. Pour Lui is a woody-spicy aromatic created by Violaine Collas of Mane, with ozonic top notes, with lavender and cedar; heart notes of cumin, absinthe and anise, and base notes of amber, ebony and oakmoss. Neroli will be released in April 2013, created by Benoit Lapouza and Delphine Lebeau of Fragrance Resources, with head notes of bergamot, neroli and orange, heart notes of orange blossom, jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang, and base notes of tonka bean, ambrette butter and patchouli. L'Elixir Pour Elle, due for September 2013 release, was created by Olivier Cresp and Nathalie Lorson of Firmenich, with notes of jasmine, rose and gardenia, heart notes of amber, benzoin, tonka bean and vanilla and base notes of patchouli, sandalwood and musk. Sizes for all three perfumes range from 30-100ml.
* Italian firm Compagnia Delle Indie is launching a new collection of six fragrances, called La Via Della Seta (the Silkroad). They are in 100ml parfum intense format and have the names Tibet White Musk, Persian Indigo, Sri Lanka Cinnamon, Ari Attol Coral, Burma Jade and Petra Desert Rose.
* On 1 February 2013, penmaker and watchmaker Montblanc will launch a feminine fragrance, Legend, exclusively via the Douglas perfumery chain. Created by Bernard Ellena and Nathalie Feisthauer, it has head notes of neroli, green pear and bitter orange, heart notes of orange flower, lily of the valley and Indian jasmine and base notes of musk, vanilla and blonde woods. The bottle is inspired by the story of Montblanc and decorated with a six-pointed star, the emblem of the house. The ad campaign, shot by Peter Lindbergh, will feature Swedish model and actress Mini Anden. 39 euros for 30ml.
* In January 2013, Yves Rocher will launch Flowerparty by Night, a reworking of its Flowerparty fragrance but this time based on a licorice accord, with notes of bitter almond and vanilla. Available in 30ml, 50ml, and shower gel and body lotion.
* Chanel is to produce a giant Christmas edition of Chanel No 5, at 205 euros for a 200ml bottle, along with a limited-edition bath soap for 50 euros.
* French fashion firm Lulu Castagnette has announced a raft of new fragrances. Lulu Castagnette Blue Addiction is out now: nosed by Barbara Wittig, it has head notes of lemon, grapefruit and orange, heart notes of roses, jasmine and blue lily of the valley and base notes of musk, cedar and sandalwood. The flagon is dark blue with feathers around the neck. In April 2013 the firm will also release a collection – Les Jardins de Lady Castagnette, comprising Un Jardin à Versailles (lemon, bergamot, cardamon; orange blossom, freesia, fig; vetiver, musk and Lorenox molecule); Le Jardin Aux 1000 Fleurs (lime, apple, red berries, roses, violet, peony, cedar vanilla and musk) and Le Jardin De Sens (bergamot, orange bark, grapefruit, lily, yellow rose, tea, incense, cedar and musk). The bottles by Thierry Faucon feature big silk flowers.
* Princesse Marina de Bourbon has released a new fragrance in its Lys range – Sunshine Lys - with notes of hyacinth, violet leaf and Calabrian lemon, strawberry, Egyptian jasmine and lily of the valley, and vanilla orchid, frozen musk and amberwood. In 30, 50 and 100ml EDP and a 7.5ml mini.

Beauty news and releases this week.
* Market researcher Mintel has reported a 10 per cent fall in sales of body care products between 2007 and 2012 and says that customers lack any kind of brand loyalty in this sector, instead buying whatever is cheapest. Manufacturers should be price-focused, it says, so if they take this advice, watch out for the market flooding with cheap lotions.
* French organic skincare website Ecocentric has revamped its website with a new design, 'more fluid' navigation and a more efficient user interface. Browsers can now search by brand, skin type, colour, specific need, etc – even look up the eco-credentials of the different brands on offer.
* In September, niche perfumery Parfumerie Générale will release its new unisex fragrance, Djhenné. Devised by Pierre Guillaume, it is meant to evoke an oasis in the desert, with head notes of crispy mint and lavender, heart notes of seringa, cocoa and wheat, and base notes of Atlas cedar, leather, myrrh and amber.

* In November, Hanae Mori Parfums will launch its first male fragrance, HiM. It has head notes of bergamot, mandarin, grey pepper, violet leaf and cardamom, heart notes of cinnamon, fig and tonka bean, and base notes of teak, white cedar, fir balsam, musk and amber. The launch will be exclusively at Nordstrom (US) and Holt Renfrew (Canada) before rolling out to other US stores.
* On 6 September, Chanel will release its matching lipstick and nail varnish combos: Twin-Set. The set comes in three shades: 'violine', 'rose intense' and 'beige rosé'. I note a trend towards glamour, with this, Dita Von Teese's collection and the new Madonna lipstick out soon.
* For France's 'rentrée', when the children go back to school in September, children's skincare brand Toofruit is releasing Brume Fraicheur no-rinse facial mist. Based on bilberry, orange and 'Complexe Filmo-Protect', it costs 9.80 euros for 100ml from the firm's website, and pharmacies and Mademoiselle Bio.

The first tranche will include the 'Debbie Harry Cheek and Eye Palette,' 'Flowers Eyeshadow Palettes,' the 'Kiss Mini Larger Than Life Lip Gloss Coffret' and the 'Walk on the Wild Side' set. Some collections will come packaged in a soup can. The second tranche will include collections named for the Factory (Silver Factory set, $200), Edie Sedgwick ($75) and Candy Darling (the Beautiful Darling set).
* Scientists in South Korea have begun research into extracting collagen from jellyfish for use in cosmetics. The plan has arisen mainly as a way of dealing with the toxic Nomura jellyfish, which wreaks havoc with the country's fishing and tourism industry on a seasonal basis, getting tangled up in fishing gear and making the beaches no-go areas. If cosmetics manufacturers can make money of of the jellyfish, it could kill two birds with one stone, believes the Korean Government.

Product Details
A new collection of old favorites built using the foundations of traditional workwear, vintage military uniforms and classic outdoor gear as our guide. We've taken the pieces we love, from the obscure to the truly iconic, and evolved them into a limited-edition range of essentials we feel no guy should go without. Constructed from 12.75-ounce right-hand twill (aka Z twill), a sanforized red-line selvedge from one of Japan's oldest mills. Inspired by a vintage pair picked up on a research trip to Tokyo, our design team spent ages getting the wash just right (since it's whiskered and broken-in, the name is a reference to the dockworkers who spend their days repairing submarines and battleships).

Tips for Racing Wisely - Page 3
Four Quarters
Breaking the negative or even split down further, divide the race into four quarters. In the first quarter, you'll establish a reasonable pace. It should feel doable, even a little slow, but familiar from all the times you've practiced starting at that pace during training. By the second quarter, you should feel like you've settled in. You should be clicking off splits at exactly your target pace, and while it may take some work (sometimes more than you expected in the second quarter), your speed should stay steady.
In the third quarter, things get interesting. The term "third-quarter slump" applies to school years, college semesters, football games—to sustaining attention on almost any subject. And it definitely applies in races. In the first half, you're relatively fresh; in the fourth quarter, you're almost there. The third lap of the mile, the third length of the 100 in the pool, the third quarter of the marathon—these are the tough ones. Therefore, prepare yourself to bear down especially hard in the third quarter. Use all your mental skills, remembering intention and goals, checking form and breath. If you can meet the drive to slow in the third quarter with your best effort to stay focused and pushing, the fourth quarter will take care of itself.
In that fourth quarter, you're almost there. You've committed fully to the pace, now you just need to hold on to it. If you are pacing correctly, your perceived effort will increase steadily and your pace will maintain. If you can speed up, do, and you've learned to go a little harder overall in the next race. If you are slowing, you've learned to go a little lighter overall.
Running in the last mile of the Scream, a downhill half marathon in the Pisgah National Forest in 2012, I came up on a young man who was really applying himself to holding his pace. We chatted in one-phrase dialog for a moment, and he said he was running his first half marathon: "It's really hard!" I assured him that meant he was doing it right, and that if he was dying to slow down, it meant he ran it well and just needed to keep pushing to the finish line. The fourth quarter should feel very hard.
Racing your four quarters well comes down to building confidence over the course of the race. In the first quarter, you should feel reasonably confident that you can hold the pace—say, 75 percent certain. If you are 100 percent certain you can hold it, you are probably not racing to your personal best. If you are less than 50 percent certain that you can hold it, you are probably starting too fast. As the race progresses, your certainty should grow. Some time in the third quarter, your confidence may flag. Expecting this rough patch is helpful, so when you do hit it, you can know it's normal. Return to your intention, check your pace, relax your form, and take full breaths. Ask yourself again if you can hold the pace. If your answer is "I wish!," slow down a touch. If your answer is "I think so," hang in there. And if you find your answer is "I know I can," speed up.

Topic: Require a template in another one
I began to use rails this week, so I'm yet a beginner ! I find this is almost easy to learn, but now I got some problems that I want to solve before beginning seriously to developp something.
With php, I was used to separate my pages in 3 sections :
The header is the part that contain all the top of each page (not only the <head></head> tag). I had only one template that was included in all pages.
The body was a part different for each page, it's the main part.
And finally, at the bottom, the footer that contain a copyright and everythin...
But now I want to do it with rails, and I don't find how because I'm not able to display more than one template at time, the one that's called automatically.
I tried to put <%= require "header.rhtml" %> but I get this error :
No such file to load -- header.rhtml
Thanks everyone .

About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about World Jerseys Golden Gecko Jersey:
Rough material that feels abrasive against skin. Zipper backing particularly uncomfortable. I have returned this jersey and plan to avoid buying "World" products in general. Feels like they put form over function. I.e. Looks good but performs badly.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

See all my reviews
This is the 4th 'World Jersey' I have purchased. Every one has been a perfect fit for me and the older purchases retain their fit, elasticity, and color.I'm pretty picky about jersey fit (not too tight or loose). 'World' sizing and fit has not changed in the nearly 8 years since my first purchase. I wish they made more styles/graphics I liked.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Nice value when on sale.
By Slanky

Nice shirt but I might recommend ordering a size larger. I generally wear an XL in most jerseys but had to return and exchange for a XXL, I'm 6'2 215 athletic build, XXL fit just right.

from some sunny spot
This is not the first World Jerseys jersey that I've purchased. They fit more true to size now; this one is a medium and the first was a large and they fit about the same. They seem to have gone to a lighter fabric as well, which is better for summer riding. The zippers could be a little higher quality. The sleeves are fairly short, which is fine with me, but some may not like it. I had my eye on this design for a while, so when it went on sale I had to snag it.
nice jersey

About Me Competitive Cyclist
I would recommend to those with a fairly lean waistline. I am 5'11" 170lb and I find that the large is a very fitted jersey. My only complaint is the sleeves ride a little high compaired to some other jerseys I have. Nice quality.
Love this shirt!
By Withlacoochee Pavement Pounder

I love this shirt. Have received many compliments on it and matches my Trek and other gear very well plus it is very comfortable and stayed pretty dry in 84 degree heat. Now I just need to get my hands on a Golden Gecko pale ale to taste what i'm promoting!

Skip to comments.Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform (March 19, 2013 Article)
Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie
WASHINGTON Sen. Rand Paul is calling for conservatives to embrace the cause of immigration reform, outlining a proposal that would grant some form of legal status to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants after the federal government has certified that the border is secure.
Pauls proposal, outlined in a speech to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Washington on Tuesday, carefully avoided the term citizenship. Instead, the Kentucky senator said he sought a middle ground that would include a multi-year process of granting visas to undocumented workers that would hinge on the annual verification of the security of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Paul echoed the key finding of an internal review from the Republican National Committee that called for the party to recast its image in order to attract minority voters, saying the GOP must change the perception of the party as anti-immigrant.
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration.
(Excerpt) Read more at articles.latimes.com ...
Rand Paul Amnesty Ping!
Rubio is worn out its Rand's turn again.
How's this for reform — round up the criminal invaders and toss their collective asses out of the country.
Dont ever talk about being against a growing and increasingly intrusive government again, Rand, because "immigration reform" aka amnesty will guarantee up to 50 million new democrats & customers of the state.
Rand Paul to Conservatives: "Don't Fear the Reaper."
11 million in California? Or nationwide? Other estimates put it 20,000,000-40,000,000. Shouldn't we debate using the real numbers?
It's like how the low information voters believe 24% of the population is homosexual so therefore their agenda items are pressing matters.
Give it a big, big hug and keep repeating, "Americans never have to win an election ever again".
Yep. RINO ping pong
A Paul is stil la Paul, rand or not.
To paraphrase Michelle Malkin, why does immigration reform have to be tied to the government's Constitutional duty to control our boarders?
Close and secure the border, and oh yeah shut the F*** up until you get that done! No citizenship for illegal boarder crossers, only an Idiot or traitor rewards invaders!
Who knew?
A "certication" is just as good as 3 parallel chain-link fences infilled with razor wire!
Will Clueless Napolitano tell us our border is the "safest ever" before or after the Amnesty Bill is signed?
i disagree. we cannot afford to deport them all.
rather lets round up,fine and imprison the people that hire them.
the illegals will self deport
Gee, you'd think that Rubio and Rand would hold off on their appeasing and horribly fatalistic assessments about what to do about an illegal alien problem here that is ALREA
DY covered by dozens of laws already on the books that aren't being enforced by our enemy, Obama.
Yeah, just join him why don't you, Marco and Rand? If you two had any actual foresight into the next national election, let alone what your surrender-like attitude for our national sovereignty will do, you'd probably wait a year or two. But, me? I'm glad you two did it now.
Glad that I won't have to be strung along with your fake conservative bullshit and excuses and all just to find out in 2015 YOU, like McCain and Romney and whoever else thinks hispanics are the key to winning, to get pissed off and have nowhere to go. Rest assured, neither one of you two effers will get a dime from me - or my vote should that opportunity arise.
Insane, absolutely suicidally insane.
Rand's 5 minutes are over.
No. No new laws. We already have all the laws in place, and nobody enforcing them. What is the point of new laws?
Rubio and Paul and others never clearly explained that.
Absolutely not, Mr. Paul.
I have had enough.
Didn't take him long to turn in his "Hero of Free Republic" trophy...for the filibuster.
No time for them to pay tribute to the victims of the terrorist attack, only to their so called "immigration" bill.
I hope for their political sake Boston has already passed the "anger stage" of this ordeal. It may come back to bite them.
Open Borders = Invasion as a Civil Right
It would also be interesting if the law was written in such a way that it would STOP at 11,000,000 Illegals being given Amnesty.
The Dems are LOW-BALLING the number...lying as usual...we need to call them out.
Et tu Rand!
"Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform"
Embrace this, Rand Paul.
Yeah, I think we should embrace immigration reform too.
Reform it to the way it used to be, when we enforced borders, didn't advertise in Mexico to "Hey, come on up north! We gots lots of free money, goods and services to give you!".
Re-form it to permit as many LEGAL immigrants that want to go through the paperwork, wait in line, have skills to offer, employers posting a bond for them.
Re-form it to take all the money that the illegals are collecting from the taxpayers, and spend it on some additional immigration clerks to process the applications turned in through our foreign embassies by people who seriously want to become citizens, or have a good mutually beneficial reason to come to the USA temporarily for a few months or a few years.
But reform it the way all the damn politicians and lefty activists? Hell No!
Wheat—chaff. This is the winnowing floor.
Undocumented Democrats get documents Act
What we really need is the umgud plan.
No more birthright little welfare citizens
No more public assistance to illegals
No more Earned Icome Credits for illegals
We don't have to round them up and deport them, just turn off the magnet.
Isn't it 'funny' how quickly they switch from T.E.A. to Kool-Aid?
I am thinking that conservatives need to start drafting Ted Cruz to run for president in 2016. We should settle on one very soon and it looks like Rubio and Rand have sadly touched the third rail and ought the lies of the Rove Machine.
I don't understand the republican death wish...never will. All they have to do is stick to their guns and say no immigration bill or debate until the borders are secure and then send out the troops to explain why to the American people. They need to be focussing on taking the fight to Obama and the democrats on a whole host of things. This is doing nothing but enraging the base..that is it. Hispanics are not going to vote for them no matter what unless they are conservative in nature to begin with. This is just stupid.
He said this on Tuesday at a Latino conference at which he presented a prepared speech.
The media is running with it.
Randie is caught.
Bad timing, Bucko.
Good for those conservatives in the fence re RP. Now they know. he's at the very least using the 11 mil number. A game ender for anyone talking about this. Walk away from that conversation. Better things to do like going to the supermarket, waterproofing boots.
But RP, no.
Is that you Obama? How many times are you going to recycle old stale spin? Paul has NOTHING to do with the amnesty being push in Congress right now.
He is no better than Marco Rubio. Even the "new model" Repiblicans have no hesitation in destroying the nation to promote their own personal ambitions. Disgusting.
GOP must change the perception of the party as anti-immigrant.
How about pro-American?
"Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration.
No they push them away by threatening the welfare state (healthcare and education are the big issues with Hispanics, immigration comes down the list). If they want to win Hispanics they need to give up on tax and spending cuts and support "free" healthcare, higher minimum wage, things like that. Any takers for that?
Remember: the right to remain is the amnesty. Citizenship has nothing to do with it (indeed may not even be something Hispanics care that deeply about once allowed to stay).
Indeed Republican reticence over citizenship is about protecting their jobs from new voters while they threaten yours (and your wages) with new workers. This is driven by fear of the donor class, not fear of the Hispanics
LATimes? March 19, 2013?
Yeah let's give all the illegals Amnesty..I mean really..what could possibly go wrong..*cough* Tamerlan Tsarnaev *cough*
President had a good plan - catch 'em, load 'em on a ship, when it was full take 'em to Mexico City area; come back and do it again.
We need to do that AND stay on our Congresscritters to stay with the constitution, and make lots of noise about the lack of them doing what WE, THE PEOPLE want them to do!
Read it and weep: From the La Times
March 19, 2013|By Michael A. Memoli
WASHINGTON Sen. Rand Paul is calling for conservatives to embrace the cause of immigration reform, outlining a proposal that would grant some form of legal status to the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants after the federal government has certified that the border is secure.
Pauls proposal, outlined in a speech to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Washington on Tuesday,
Secure the border:
Anyone who calls on conservatives to embrace anything whatever that is contrary to conservative principles ought to simply stop calling. Enough.
Nice filibusters, Rand. Been nice knowing you.
I left out WHICH President! It certainly wasn't THIS one! It was President Eisenhower!!!!!!!!!!!
March 19.
Whose posting this stuff?
WEll, Rand ought to come out with something on this. He's too close to it anyway.
But this is a dupe.
I don't believe one damn thing reported by the LA Times or the NY Times either. Occasionally the Washingtom Post reports truth, but LA/NY Times? Never.
I'm hip.
But who's posting month old articles?
Cram it where the sun don't shine Rand!

The Most Energy Efficient Refrigerator Types.
Before jumping at the next sale on refrigerators, you should be aware that fridge energy costs range anywhere from $400 to over $2,000 over the lifetime of the product. Yes, you read that right. You may find, based on energy costs, it is cheaper to buy a state of the art new fridge than keep your old one. Just as MPG (Miles Per Gallon) measures the fuel efficiency of cars, the Enervee® Score ranks the energy efficiency of electronics and appliances by making it super easy to choose the best product with the highest score to save you money.
This report answers the following questions:
How much does an energy efficient fridge save?
Choosing an energy efficient refrigerator can easily save $931 over 12 years.
What is the most energy efficient refrigerator type?
Top freezer models are far more efficient than any other type.
Is there a difference between a model with an ice maker and one without an ice maker?
Yes! Energy costs are much higher for models with an ice maker. You could save $525 by purchasing a model without an ice maker.
Does size really make a difference on energy cost?
The total volume of a refrigerator is a critical factor for energy consumption. The difference in energy cost between a smaller and a large fridge can be hundreds of dollars over the life span.
Does where you live affect your refrigerator's energy costs?
Electricity rates vary greatly by provider and community. They can be as low as one third or as high as three times the national average.
What impact does buying an energy efficient fridge have on our planet?
If all 10 million refrigerators sold in the US this year were models with a high Enervee® Score, we could save millions, even billions, in electricity cost, and take entire cities off the grid.comments powered by Disqus

6 year old just got iPad mini--get her own apple ID?
When setting up my little girls new iPad, I instinctively just entered my apple ID to set it up. But now I'm starting to question that. I obviously don't want any of my iMessages synced to her iPad and I'm not sure FaceTime would work correctly if grandparents wanted to FaceTime with her. Won't she need an email address to use iMessage and FaceTime? Are there any pros/cons to using my current apple ID for this iPad? What are the pros/cons for getting her own email address and apple ID?
Thanks to everyone who reads and responds.

you can use different Apple IDs one on the store for the apps. Then create a new one in iCloud for iMessage and Facetime or leave it not logged in.

6 year old just got iPad mini--get her own apple ID?
I have just that situation with minis for my 5 and 9 year olds.
I would say yes, sign her up for her own Apple ID. That's what I did for my kids even though you do have to lie about their age when you sign up because the minimum age is 13. I didn't want their AppStore or iTunes Store linked to my Apple ID and therefore my credit card. If you want to let her purchase stuff, you can get an iTunes gift card and put the value of it on her account.
Don't forget to put on parental restrictions. For instance, I left the App Store available for my 9 year old and disabled it for my 5 year old (at least for a little while she can come ask me when she wants something new and I might enable it when I see if she's being responsible about it). But even for the 9 year old I set the in-app purchase limit to ask for her password every time so that she's aware that she's spending money. I also set up the age and rating restrictions.

If you're signed out of the App Store (go to the bottom of the page and click sign out), then click sign in, it should give you a choice to sign in with an existing apple ID or create a new one.

Re: 6 year old just got iPad mini--get her own apple ID?
Trinity if ur using safari u won't be able to make an Apple ID the second time if u failed the fist time due to the age problem....
Because the ipod stores the web cache and the website will know u aren't actually 13 and they won't allow u to create a new Apple ID.... This is the similar case with google accounts too..
To solve this just go to settings,safari,and clear ur web history and all caches if ur on ios 6
On ios 7&8 tap on clear history & clear cookies & data and do the whole thing again... It might work 😊

Faculty/Staff Advisors
Albion College requires that all recognized student organizations have a faculty or staff advisor. By sharing knowledge about the College and personal experience, the advisor can assist the group in the conduct of its activities.
Obviously, the relationship between an advisor and an organization will vary, not only with each organization, but from time to time within an organization. Nevertheless, the general concerns/responsibilities of the advisor remain constant and encompass the following points:
- Advisor recognizes and supports participation in student organizations for its contribution to the educational and personal development of students.
- Advisor works with student organizations in an advising capacity and should not direct the organization's programs or activities. However, advisors should be frank in offering suggestions, considerations, or ideas for the group's discussion.
- Advisor stays well informed about the plans and activities of the group. The expectation is the advisor will attend the majority of meetings and activities of the group and will consult frequently with student officers.
- Advisor is aware of the goals and directions of the organization and helps the group evaluate its progress toward reaching these goals.
- Advisor provides continuity within the group and is familiar with the group's history. The advisor should also be familiar with the constitution and by-laws of the organization and be prepared to assist with their interpretation.
- Advisor insures the group's compliance with college policies and procedures. The advisor needs to be aware of the policies and procedures in the Albion College Student Handbook and information in this handbook. The advisor could be held responsible for the actions/behaviors of a student organization that violates established policies.
- Advisors should be aware of the general financial condition of the organization and encourage the keeping of good financial records.
- Advisor should monitor group functioning and encourage members to fully participate, to assume appropriate responsibilities for group activities, and to maintain a balance between academic activities and co-curricular commitments.
- Advisor assists in orienting new officers and assists in developing the leadership skills of members.
- Advisor should be prepared to deal with major problems or emergencies within the organization.
Advisors should consult with the Campus Programs and Organizations Staff about organizational problems, plans, or changes in organizational status when the advisor deems it appropriate.
Negotiating Advisor Role
In order for advisors to effectively fulfill their responsibilities, and for organization officers to maximize the valuable role that advisors can play, a working agreement must be reached between the advisor and officers. The general parameters of this agreement were suggested in the preceding paragraphs. The following five-step process is suggested as one means of negotiating the advisor-organization relationship.
Step 1: Initial Meeting
As soon as possible after election of new organizational officers, the advisor should meet with them to discuss the following:
- The organization's purpose, goals and objectives.
- College expectations concerning students establishing priorities that emphasize the maintenance of high academic standards while being involved in organizations.
- College rules and policies, particularly with respect to open membership, hazing, sexual harassment, non-discrimination, alcohol, and financial accountability.
- Officer expectations of the advisor.
- The advisor's past experience with student organizations and advisor style and expectations.
- Leadership strengths and weaknesses of the officers and ways the advisor may enhance and strengthen these skills.
Step 2: Negotiation Session
Within a week after the initial meeting, the advisor and officers should meet again to negotiate the specifics of their working relationship including:
- When and how the advisor will review the goals, initial project plans and annual budget.
- How the advisor will be kept informed of the organization's activities (alternatives include advisor attending meetings, periodic scheduled meetings between advisor and officers, and written officer reports).
- The role of the advisor in planning, implementation and evaluation of specific projects.
- How the advisor may assist officers in developing leadership skills.
- The process for handling officer and advisor concerns.
- The mechanism for advisor evaluation of organizational effectiveness.
Step 3: Organization Meetings
Even if the advisor will not be attending organization meetings on a regular basis, the advisor should be invited to one of the first meetings so that he or she has an opportunity to meet the members and discuss his or her role.
Step 4: Carry Out Negotiated Roles
The advisor and officers share responsibility for ensuring that the arrangements negotiated in step 2 are carried out. Renegotiation may be necessary as the year progresses.
Step 5: Year End Wrap-Up
Shortly before the election of new officers, the advisor and current officers should meet to discuss:
- Group progress during the year
- The effectiveness of the negotiated relationship.
- Advisor recommendations for the officers' future involvements
- Officer recommendations for the advisor's future advising activities.

Rated 5 out of 5�by sparrow RAGE 30 LB SLAMMER BALL the rage slammer ball is very durable and has a good gripping surface. it is a great exercise to slam the ball from overhead to the floor and to lift it from the floor to overhead. I find it addicting and I love doing it. this is a supplement to my usual exercise routine. it is aerobic and a strength builder. I use it on a gym mat placed on my basement cement fall. I only use it indoors. you can add air to make the ball firm. I am using the ball, the way it came(soft). I might try adding some air, to see if it makes any difference. there is zero bounce, but if I add some air, there will probably be some kind of bounce. I do not abuse any of my exercise equipment. I appreciate the purpose and benefits I derive from them. when I come across a winning piece of exercise equipment, it becomes one of my most valuable possessions and that is this ball. your health and well being is most important. I would take health over wealth any day. April 16, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5�by smitty42 LOVE IT AND HATE IT AT THE SAME TIME I have just recently started getting back into exercising and I came across these rage products. So I youtube the product and went to their website and decided to give it a shot, wanting to up my game in the exercise world LOL. So my orginial plan was to buy the 20lb slam ball but where I shop they were out so I opted for the 30lb slam ball and MAN did I go with the RIGHT choice. When using it for the first time, I got more of a work out than I did using the elliptical that I start off with. I mean for right now I can only do 5 slams and then have to take a break because this slam ball has NO bounce what so ever so you have to literally pick the ball up off the ground and then re-lift back over your head and do it all over again LOL. So if your wanting to up your game in crossfit or what ever I would definantly get this ball. Well GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN March 15, 2013

It's a steep ride.
And it takes a while to get there.
But it's worth the trip.
All of it.
And for 11 riders anxious to get down the trail after a long drive, the trailhead of Withers Canyon begins with a 250-foot drop down a rocky slope on the side of one of many buttes scattered throughout the region.
Withers Canyon Trailhead is the starting point for the 17.6 mile Picket Wire Canyon Trail and the 0.5 mile Picket Wire Canyon Overlook Trail in the Comanche National Grassland outside of La Junta.
It takes a few hours to get there but the terrain and history cannot be replaced.
If your horse isn't shod, it is a good idea to have boots on them.
This trail is rocky.
Be ready to lean back and let your horse find its way down this trail.
A good trail horse will be watching every step, and if you are smart, you will be looking to the horizon and remembering to breathe.
But it's only this portion of the trail that gets your heart rate racing.
After getting your heart slowing down a bit, the trail evens out and meanders along the bottom of the canyon.
Ruins of old adobe structures appear out of the brush along the way and picture graphs can be seen on various rocks that clutter the valley walls.
Arriving at the Dolores Mission and Cemetery, 3.7 miles from the trailhead, we rode eastward about 10 minutes toward the Purgatory River, where there was a place for the horses to stop and get a drink.
The river was low but there was spring-fed pools that could be quite deep.
We stopped for lunch since were all hungry, and the dinosaur track location was still another mile and a half.
There wasn't much grass to be found for the horses to munch on but they all seemed to appreciate the drink and some cooling off by wading into the water up to their bellies, much to the dismay of their owners because of the mud and wonderful fishy smell that they rode away carrying with them.
Riding back toward the mission, we found several cars parked and people viewing the ruins.
The forest service was conducting a tour of the site that is accessible for high clearance vehicles from the Rourke Ranch end of the canyon.
The forest service employee apologized for disturbing our escape from civilization with the convoy of vehicles that we stepped off the trail to let them pass as they made their way back to the ranch.
Arriving at the dinosaur track site, we found a hitching rail to tie some of the horses to while walking down to the site.
The site itself is off limits to horses, but is just a short walk away.
We took turns holding some of the horses because not all 11 would fit on the hitching rail.
The return trip back up the 250-foot elevation was as much of a challenge going up as it was going down.
The horses worked hard to climb back up but everyone arrived at the top no worse for wear.
And we were happy to be back at the trailers.
We shared the trail with hikers and bicyclists who were all pleasant and courteous.
There were several people camping out at the trail head where there was a pit latrine and camping sites among the cedar tree.
I believe they were all listening to our conversations about the trail as we unsaddled horses, wet our thirsts and grabbed a snack before loading the horses for the drive home.
We stopped in La Junta at the Hob's Breath Saloon for barbecue and headed home.
