VANESSA AND JOSEPH'S WEDDINGOctober, 2009 in Sacramento
"Our wedding was perfect. The weather was fabulous! Sacramento was such a great alternative to San Francisco (where we live), as we were able to negotiate more within our budget than we would have in the city. No regrets!"

"Jajuan Francis did a fabulous job with my wedding flowers. She is very creative and worked with me to ensure my needs were met, while making me feel comfortable entrusting her to come up with something beautiful."
Sutter Club1220 9th St
Sacramento, CA, United States
"This is a classy, vintage (think 1930's) venue with impeccable 5-star service. You need to be sponsored by a Club member to host an event there, but if you can get it, it is well worth the expense. Our wedding ceremony and reception were both held on site, which made it easy for guests. The terrace off of the California Room was perfect for the cigar rollers. The in-house catering was excellent and worked with me to tailor the menu to my needs. Although outside cake vendors are accepted, I hired the Club's Chef and he went above and beyond to fulfill my desire to have a croquembouche instead of traditional wedding cake! It was perfect."
Hyatt Regency Sacramento1209 L St
Sacramento, CA, United States
"I chose the Hyatt Regency for its convenient location to the wedding venue, as well as the service. The feedback from my guests was unanimous on the great service. With high level government officials from the nearby Capitol using the hotel so regularly, I think the service there has ratcheted up over the years. It is one of the best Hyatt hotels. We utilized the hotel bar for two nights to gather with guests, and they were very accommodating."

Explorative or Exploitative: The Photography of Edward Curtis
The photographs taken of Native American peoples by Edward Curtis, have been highly praised by many as showing the intricacies of Native life, however they come with a great deal of controversy. In the early 20th century, Edward Curtis embarked on a project to take photographs of the Native American peoples in the western United States. This project was titled The North American Indian. With the financial support of the banker J.P Morgan, as well as the full support of President Theodore Roosevelt, Curtis was given free creative reign over his photographs. The idea behind The North American Indian was to document the way of life of the people who, in his words were a "vanishing race." There is evidence to suggest that Curtis in fact edited his own photos, removing modern aspects of western culture to give the illusion that Native culture were in fact vanishing, when really they were not. What is often not part of discussions involving this project is why there were aspects of Western culture in the Native society to begin with. These are most likely ignored because they sheds light on a dark time in America's past, a time that involved Native children being sent to boarding schools in an effort to assimilate them into "white America," a time that had the federal government take away the lands of native peoples and in some cases use extreme violence against them. Even with the controversies and negative implications of Curtis's work, it is hard not to appreciate the photographs on an artistic level. But there has to be a line. With my paper, I will attempt to draw that line and figure out at what point, if any, Curtis's work can be appreciated as great photography without being seen as a false representation of native culture. Was Curtis exploiting the people in an effort to gain fame and fortune, or was he simply caught up in his own generation's ideas about Native Americans?

keyboard to recognize the b, r and l commands and call GNU Make macros called __BP_SET, __BP_UNSET and __BP_LIST.
The targets for which breakpoints are defined is simply a GMSL set of target names. Initially there are no breakpoints and so the list, called _ BREAKPOINTS is empty:
__BREAKPOINTS := $(empty_set)
Setting and removing breakpoints is a matter of calling the GMSL functions set_insert and set_remove to add or remove an element from
__BP_SET = $(eval __BREAKPOINTS := $(call set_insert,$1, $(__BREAKPOINTS))) \ $(warning Breakpoint set on `$1') __BP_UNSET =$(if $(call set_is_member,$1,$(__BREAKPOINTS)),\ $(eval __BREAKPOINTS := $(call set_remove,$1, $(__BREAKPOINTS)))\ $(warning Breakpoint on `$1' removed), \ $(warning Breakpoint on `$1' not found))
Both these macros use the GNU Make function $(eval) to reset the value of __BREAKPOINTS ($(eval FOO) will evaluate its argument FOO as if it were a piece of text during parsing the Makefile: this means that at run time you can change variable values or define new rules).
__BP_UNSET used the GMSL function set_is_member to determine if the breakpoint being removed was actually defined and output a helpful message in the case that the user tries to remove a non-existent breakpoint (which may be caused by a typing error on their part).
Listing the current breakpoints is simply a matter of outputting the contents of the set stored in __BREAKPOINTS. Since that set is just a list with no duplicates __BP_LIST feeds its value into the GNU Make function $(addprefix) and $(addsuffix) to put quotation marks around the target names:
__BP_LIST = $(if $(__BREAKPOINTS), \ $(warning Current target breakpoints: \ $(addsuffix ',$(addprefix `, $(__BREAKPOINTS)))), \ $(warning No target breakpoints set))
__BP_LIST uses the GNU Make $(if) function to choose between listing the breakpoints if there are any, or saying No target breakpoints set is the __BREAKPOINTS set is empty. $(if) will evaluate its second argument if $(__BREAKPOINTS) is a non-empty string and its third is there are no breakpoints. That's because GNU Make considers 'true' to be any non-empty string and 'false' the empty string.
The Trick
To get GNU Make to break into the debugger it has to expand the $(__BREAKPOINT) variable (which outputs information about the breakpoint and prompts for commands). But for that to happen we need a way to check which breakpoints are defined every time a rule is about to run and then expand $(__BREAKPOINT) if necessary.
Luckily it's possible to do this by modifying GNU Make's own SHELL variable. SHELL stores the name of the shell that should be used to execute commands (it's usually something like /bin/sh on Linux), and is defined by default. But it can be overriden like any other variable by writing SHELL = /my/shell in a Makefile; all commands will be run using that shell.
The SHELL variable is also expanded every time a command is about to run inside a rule. That makes it ideal for the purpose of checking breakpoints. Here's the actual code in the GNU Make Debugger that uses SHELL for breakpoint handling:
__BP_OLD_SHELL := $(SHELL) __BP_NEW_SHELL = $(if $(call seq,$(__BP_FLAG),$@), \ $(call $1,), \ $(__BP_CHECK))$(__BP_OLD_SHELL) SHELL = $(call __BP_NEW_SHELL,$1)
First the real value of SHELL is stored in __BP_OLD_SHELL (you'll note that the GNU Make := operator is used to capture the value, and not the definition, of SHELL). Then SHELL itself is redefined to call the __BP_NEW_SHELL macro.
__BP_NEW_SHELL is where the interesting work is done. The last part of it is $(__BP_OLD_SHELL) which is the value of the original SHELL variable. After all, once we are done checking breakpoints, we'd like GNU Make to use the original shell. Before that there's a

Serves 4
In the cooking of the south of China, lamb is very unusual, and the Cantonese, not great fans of its smell or taste, are easily able to distinguish "mutton-eaters" by their smell. But up north, lamb means survival, and the meat features in countless regional specialties. This simple dish combines lamb and noodles in an easy ingenious way that even a Cantonese could learn to love.
7 ounces bean thread vermicelli
7 ounces lean, boneless lamb fillet
(such as sirloin or leg steak)
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons peanut oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 green onions, green part only,
cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Put noodles in a bowl, pour boiling water over, and let soak for 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse in cold water, drain, and set aside.
Cut lamb into thin strips. Combine the beaten egg, water, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. Add lamb and coat well in the mixture and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes. Heat peanut oil in a hot wok and stir-fry lamb for 1 to 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and green onions and stir-fry for another minute. Add chicken stock, noodles, rice wine, and sesame oil and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve on a large warmed platter or in Chinese bowls.

Bharti Singh and choreographer Saviyo were eliminated from Colors' Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5 (JDJ 5) on 22nd September 2012.
Bharti Singh and Rashmi Desai were at the bottom scores on 22nd September elimination episode of the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 5. They were asked to perform a face off dance together.
But Bharti Singh refused to perform due to her back pain. Bharti told everyone that is responsible for half of the TRP of the show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
Madhuri Dixit requested Bharti Singh to perform, but she refused saying that if it was finale then she might have tried. She thinks that if her body wont be exerted, then she can do many more shows.
Karan Johar said that Bharti Singh has gained good popularity and fans for her talent from the show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
Remo Dsouza also asked Bharti Singh to perform before going from the show.
Bharti Singh refused this and decided to quit the dance show at the faceoff round with Rashmi Desai.

Carrey: I call God direct
Jim Carrey is convinced the Pope's resignation was a "corporate manoeuvre" and urges his fans to follow in his footsteps and "call God direct" instead of being a part of an organised religion.
The 51-year-old The Mask star ranted about organised religion Thursday on Twitter.
The actor also touched on the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI last month. He used the historical moment to justify his point that having a direct connection with a higher power should be priority.
"I thnk organized religion is fading and changing the Pope ws a corporate maneuver bt how u worship is your choice. I #callGoddirect }3^•>+ (sic)," Jim wrote.
The funnyman incited some fury from his 10 million followers with the remark.
"@JimCarrey get back to making jokes please," one user wrote.
Another disagreed, comparing the comedian to a sort of demi-God.
"@JimCarrey you are forever rising my friend. The view can only get better," responded a fan.
The pontiff has since been replaced by Pope Francis, elected on Wednesday as head of the Church and Sovereign of the Vatican City State since his predecessor stepped down.
But Jim left his followers to further debate the complexities of religion as he moved on to more light-hearted topic later in the day.
The actor followed-up his controversial tweet with a promotional message about his next film.
"See 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone' in theatres tomorrow! It'll be like a close friend who holds u down and tickles u till u barf! =B^Q," he mused.
The Don Scardino film, co-starring Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Olivia Wilde and James Gandolfini, is scheduled for US release on Friday.

Produced by fusion, this base is very hard and damage-resistant. This low maintenance material is the best choice for riders who don't regularly hot wax their boards, as extruded bases are still fast even if they're not waxed.
This special Super-Clear Base complements silk-screened base graphics and delivers brilliant colors and almost total transparency. It also makes the base low-maintenance and very durable.
The production process of Sintered Bases forms pores that readily absorb wax. This makes the Sintered Base very soft, yet exceptionally damage-resistant and ensures excellent gliding properties when waxed regularly.
This base is made from a sintered, ultra-high molecular polyethylene with an extremely high density. It features very good wear resistance as well as perfect wax absorption and is above all fast. The material has been upgraded with special additives to make it thermal and electro-conductive and proves its qualities with premium glide and maximum speed in races.
This exceptional base combination was created using the best-known materials but is the secret to the fastest and best to prepare bases on the market. The materials beside P-Tex 4500 World Cup and extraordinarily scratch-resistant side strips of P-Tex 5000 will remain secret.
These base graphics are made up of different pieces of P-Tex that are cut out using an ultrasound cutting machine and then manually put together like a jigsaw. This provides the base with depth and brilliance.
This unique and complex method of creating graphics allows the combination of colorful Silk-Screening with Die-Cut, achieving stunning 3D effects.
This complex method for colorful Silk-Screening allows unique graphics and stunning effects.
When working with graphics that feature many different colors Die-Cut Swap Bases reduce waste and so contribute to the protection of our environment. Furthermore, depending on the colors used, it means that we can produce different variations of board graphic. Is your board graphic unique and different? It could be with a Die-Cut Swap Base.
Additional grinding with an extra fine stone gives an even more perfect finish, enhancing wax absorption and gliding characteristics.
In addition to the Stone Finish our top boards also have a Structural Finish in a flat pound pattern, which maximizes acceleration. To ensure optimal performance, the base should always be brushed after waxing, using strokes of light, constant pressure from nose to tail.
All Völkl boards are equipped with Wax Finish before leaving the factory. This fine layer of wax is fine for the first couple of runs but to ensure the base keeps its gliding characteristics over time, we strongly recommend hot waxing before its first use on snow!

GPD Investigating Attempted Kidnapping in Northeast Gainesville
Gainesville, Fl. -- Gainesville police say she could have been singled out because she was walking alone.
A 12 year old was walking to school a little after nine o'clock this morning along the 1200 block of Northeast 23rd Street when a car stopped in the road and a man tried to pull her inside.
She was able to run away and told a nearby crossing guard what happened.
Police are still investigating the incident.
"Always walk with a group of people. Someone that has bad intentions is a lot less likely to attack a group of people where there's multiple voices and multiple people than they are a single person," GPD Spokesman Ben Tobias says. "They're more likely to go for that single person who may not be able to yell or shout if they're in trouble."
Officers describe the man as a black male in his mid 40's about 5-foot-7 and 160 pounds with a full beard, wearing a black skull cap and a brown shirt with bleach stains on the sleeves.
The vehicle was described as a tan 2000's model 4-door Toyota Camry.
If you have any information about this case, please call GPD dispatch at 352-955-1818. You can also submit an anonymous tip by texting keyword "GPDFL" plus your tip to 274637 (CRIMES). Please call 9-1-1 if you observe any suspicious activity.

A semi auto is going to go easier on you in the recoil department with your conditions. Laws of physics. Adaptability. You're going to heal in time. Shooting and operating a pistol isn't exactly my idea of physical therapy, but it can do wonders for the emotional side, and the state of physical well-being along with the pursuit of self survival. More women should be carrying handguns in my opinion even though it's not thought of as the womanly thing to do because of certain social attitudes from the past. In my opinion, you need to heal first, then consider your options. If you can't wait, get something that's easy going in a package that you can deal with even if it's going to be a 22LR firearm, and carry the best pepper spray available. I can't think of everything, but options are always good, and again......we adapt. I take it your permit is in the works from your post. That doesn't mean your time is limited to selecting what you'll carry, and it doesn't mean you have to carry the minute you get your permit. I realize you want to very much, but consider the circumstances. How long have you existed without carrying a weapon and survived? It's definitely going to take some time and research, and I don't want you spending your money where you won't be seeing immediate benefits physically, and emotionally. You have many things to consider. Stick around and you'll find out more of what you need to know versus what you want to know. It aint always easy, and there's not always a direct response. Most of what you pursue lies within you no matter what advice you're given. You'll integrate everything soon no doubt. My best to you in everything you seek.

HOLLADAY, UT --(Marketwired - January 28, 2016) - Dr. Andrew Ericksen, a leading dental implant provider, is finishing a renovation project that will provide more space for dental hygiene appointments.
Dr. Ericksen, who operates Holladay Dental Studio, practices in a 1,100-square-foot facility that includes the latest dental technology and comfort amenities for patients. The renovation project involves adding a new operatory to increase the number of hygiene appointments.
"We are really excited to be able to start increasing our hygiene department," Dr. Ericksen said. "We want to make sure we do everything to give our patients the best experience they can have at Holladay Dental Studio. By adding this new operatory, we hope to make our appointment times more convenient and be able to get people in quicker."
Dr. Ericksen said the practice finished 2015 with 400 new patients. Because of the increased demand of services and the new patients, Dr. Ericksen said it was necessary to add another operatory. Many of the new patients were added through patient referrals.
The new operatory will be ready for use in February, increasing the number of hygiene rooms to two. Dr. Ericksen said the change will give patients more options for cleanings appointments and cut down on waiting times in the office. "We are solely dedicated to providing the highest standards of customer service and part of that is providing convenient appointment times for our patients," said Mary Egan, Holladay Dental Studio office manager. "We offer convenient evening hours to accommodate our patients' work schedule so they don't have to take work off to take care of their oral health. By adding this operatory we hope to better serve our patients."
Holladay Dental Studio, 2160 E. 4500 S., Ste. 3, is a comprehensive dental practice located in a newly remodeled office. The practice handles general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, orthodontics and dental implant cases. The practice uses dental implants to replace individual missing teeth or to stabilize patients' dentures. Holladay Dental Studio also treats patients with Invisalign, a special orthodontic method that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth instead of uncomfortable brackets and wires. Invisalign aligners are removable and virtually invisible.
Dr. Ericksen is a Holladay native who attended Olympus High School and later graduated from the University of Utah with an undergraduate degree in international studies. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Creighton University in 2011 and took over at Holladay Dental Studio in 2012. Before acquiring Holladay Dental Studio, Dr. Ericksen worked at Premier Dental Care in West Valley City.
Dr. Ericksen also completed a dental implant residency at the Whitecap Institute, and he is a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
To find reliable Holladay dental implants or to find out the cost of crowns, visit Dr. Ericksen's website at www.holladaydentalstudio.com or call the office at 801-833-0991.

Three to See: Catch These Plays Closing This Week
As the days get shorter and the nights cool off, catching a play might be the perfect refuge to inevitable autumn nostalgia.
The Ring Cycle (Parts 1 and 2) If a show in Bushwick celebrating the camp and desolation of Reagan's 1980's by way of Wagner sounds like a hipster mashup worthy of ironic T-shirts, think again. Performance Lab 115's production of "The Ring Cycle (Parts 1 and 2)" uses '80's wrestling as the lightning rod through which to channel the epic deities of Wagner's "Ring" cycle with a sense of unadulterated fun. Sue Kessler is the managing director and curator of The Bushwick Starr, the venue for the spandexed and drop-waisted melee. She says that the production is effectively too legit to quit: "A lot of theater companies spoof off of sports or pop culture references, but these guys did something really smart. They took wrestling very seriously, and they're actually doing it." Though it can be debated exactly how much actual wrestling is going on in any 1980's style wrestling ring, Wagner's gods make perfect sense as grimacing, flexing, creatures of melodrama. When Act Two introduces the Kraft singles and Miracle Whip dinners of '80's economic desolation, it's clear the play doesn't just live in a land of air guitar and power ballads. Along with the raucous night of theater, audiences can cash in on the cool factor of putting their fingers to the off-the-radar artistic pulse beating in Bushwick. After all, heading to the Bushwick Starr can't hurt—the Metropolitan Opera's version of Wagner is much more expensive and sold out.
Here's when you can still see the play: Thursday 10/28 through Saturday 10/30 at 8:00 P.M.
Wish I Had a Sylvia Plath Though Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar" might be tucked under the arm or pillow of nearly every morose high school student, the incarnation of the book's main character, Ethyl Greenwood, in this one-woman play isn't afraid to laugh. With her head in the oven and poised to kill herself (just as Plath tragically did a week after the book was published in real life), "Wish I Had a Sylvia Plath" takes place in Plath's last 10 seconds of life. Elisabeth Gray, who plays the 10 characters and—in Plath's own style—wrote the play under a pseudonym, wasn't a Plath fan until she started reading the author's recently published journals. Because Plath has a few poems kicking around in anthologies, Gray says that Plath is often misunderstood. "She's been proclaimed as this damaged housewife, the trophy wife of everything that can go wrong between men and women," she says. "There is actually much more than that. There is a great deal of fun." Flavorpill and Culturebot contributor Alyssa Alpine says the show was an unexpected pleasure. "There is a zany housewife quality to it," Alpine says. "It takes on the familiar theme of the repressed woman who is an artist and has difficulty reconciling creative ambitions with being a wife and a mother." But she adds that in the battery of shows she sees, "I Want My Own Sylvia Plath" possesses a biting wit that stands out. With her head in the oven and the show closing this weekend, you might want to see the play before its last 10 seconds of life are over.
Here's when you can still see the play: Wednesday 10/27 (Plath's birthday) at 1:00 P.M. and 7:30 P.M., Thursday 10/28 and Friday 10/29 at 8:30 P.M., Saturday 10/30 at 2:30 P.M. and 8:30 P.M., Sunday 10/31 3:30 P.M.
(oh my god I am so) THIRST(y) Mixed media dramaturgy is where the Little Lord theater company feels most at home, which means that everything and nothing are simultaneously sacred. In "oh my god I am so) THIRST(y)," Eugene O'Neill's early play, "Thirst," becomes the universe where plastic sharks, men in drag and an inflatable pool coexist. Michael Levinton sees the play, which he directs and acts in, as a two-pronged approach to O'Neill's text. "It's very colloquial. We are at the same time doing O'Neil's play but we are also commenting on it," he says in a voice tired from a run of high-octane performances. "We are celebrating it but also making fun of it." A meta approach to theater may sound heavy-handed, but one of the show's smart elements is its length. At just under an hour, Levinton says that audience members who aren't digging a part of the show can sit tight and it will change. The play also deals with the madness of characters at sea in a world where racial politics are the elephant in the room. Levinton wants the audience to see, so, go see it!
Here's when you can still see the play: Thursday 10/28 through Saturday 10/30 at 8 P.M.

Not a bad death, it could have been worse. A buddy of mine has a 2001 SS with exhaust,intake,a cam and header set,airlid and some Nitto drag radials and he makes 525 whp and about 475 in torque. He can run low 11's like nothing with that beast and thats not even fully modded. The 4th gen LS1 engines are serious killers when fully modded and if you put a S/C on top of it, there are very few cars that can even hang with you.
The Cobra has a ton of potential but it is only 4.6L as opposed to the LS1's 5.7L so the LS1 will breathe much better and can be made faster then a modded Cobra anyday. The Cobra only puts out 375 whp WITH a S/C, the LS1 will put out more than that with only a cam and an airlid, there is really no comparison, its one of the best engines ever built. Unless some turbo and modded out car is carrying a huge shot of nitrous, a heavily modded Supra or Z06 would be your only real challenges.

Beanie Babies Take East Fifty-seventh Street
THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE – March 5, 1998
Beanie Babies Take East Fifty-seventh Street
IN 1960, TIME INC. MOVED into a brand-new Sixth Avenue high-rise that was big and white and square. In the early eighties, during the twilight of A.T.&T.'s monopolistic imperium, the company put up its Darth Vaderish headquarters on Madison. Donald Trump is famous for flashy casinos in New Jersey and shiny, shiny skyscrapers in Manhattan. In other words, when well-known companies associate themselves with prominent buildings, the architecture usually makes some kind of expressive sense.
But not always. A couple of weeks ago, Ty Warner, the founder and owner of Ty, Inc., bought the six-year-old Four Seasons Hotel, on East Fifty-seventh Street, for two hundred and seventy-five million dollars. Ty Warner's fortune is the Beanie Babies fortune, which he has been amassing just since 1993. Beanie Babies (for readers who have neither grade-school children nor talc-scented, overcaffeinated great-aunts) are the two hundred and twenty-five different beanbag animals at the center of the longestlasting and most lucrative plush-toy mania ever.
The only quality that Ty and the Four Seasons seem to share is a nine-figure net worth. The distinguishing feature of Beanie Babies (aside from the heartshaped tags, which collectors fetishize) is their small size; Teeny Beanies, which come free with some McDonald's Happy Meals, are even smaller. The Four Seasons, on the other hand, is the tallest hotel in New York, and vastness is the overriding characteristic of its lobby and guest rooms.
Beanies are the apotheosis of mass-market cuteness—little and soft and preternaturally colorful critters, each with its own birthday and adorable name. Nothing about the Four Seasons is cute. The hotel is neoclassical, hard and handsome, tasteful but almost ferociously grand, clad inside and out in French limestone—"the same stone," the hotel's architect, I. M. Pei, says, "that I used at the Louvre."
Beanies are inexpensive—about five dollars apiece. The Four Seasons is probably the most expensive hotel in Manhattan. An ordinary room goes for six hundred dollars a night. And, just as patrons of the Four Seasons are not generally the kind of people who spend a lot of time clicking around Beanie Web sites, a Beanie devotee would have to be nuts to spend sixteen dollars for a Martini at the hotel bar when, for the same money, he could buy Mystic the unicorn, Canyon the cougar, and Nibbler the rabbit.
Ty Warner and Ty, Inc., have an obsession with privacy. Warner generally gives interviews only to Beanie Baby fanzines; the address and the phone number of his headquarters, in a Chicago exurb called Westmont, are unpublished; no one from Ty, Inc., including the woman in charge of public relations, would return my phone calls. The Four Seasons, packed with people who yearn to be interviewed, is on Fifty-seventh Street between Madison and Park Avenues, pretty much ground zero for both media engagement and see-and-be-seen spectacle.
Still, the modern impulse toward corporate synergy could just begin to bridge this cultural chasm. Until last week, I. M. Pei, whose offices are right down the block from the Four Seasons, hadn't heard that his hotel had fallen into the hands of the genius behind Beanie Babies. Asked about the new owners, he said, "I've never met them, and they've not paid me any visit." He suggested that, since the hotel will still be managed by the Four Seasons Corporation, the Beanie connection might go unrealized. "I guess they'll keep it nice," he said. "My guess is they will. Since the room rates are so high." When I bruited the cross-promotional prospects of Smoochy the frog and Patti the platypus for sale in the lobby, or a complimentary Beanie Baby on each guest's pillow at night, the architect was quiet. Then he said, "I hope not."©

Famvir Feedback
Find out what people are saying about Famvir. We
want to know what you think of Famvir. Use the contact button to
share your two cents.
I find it very odd
that nobody seems to talk about Famvir as much as they do Valtrex. I
have tried Famvir before. Back when I was first diagnosed I was in
the process of tracking my outbreaks because I wasn't sure what the
frequency was going to be. I even kept a journal of my outbreaks
because I wasn't sure exactly what they were supposed to feel like.
Everybody always mentioned triggers prodromes and things of that
nature and I had absolutely no idea how I was supposed to read my
While I was doing all
this tracking I decided I was only going to treat my outbreaks as
they happened. I did treat my outbreaks with Valtrex and then again
with Famvir. I wanted to try them both and compare the two to see
which one worked the best for me before making up my mind as to
whether or not I would go on suppressive therapy.
Eventually I did wind
up on suppression because I felt as though I were getting too many
outbreaks and too often. I chose Valtrex over Famvir because it just
felt like the outbreak would heal quicker. I wound up doing
suppression for two years. It was the best thing I could ever do for
myself AND for my partner. And now that mea and my partner are
married we don't worry so much about him catching it from me and I
am no longer on suppressive therapy.
Famvir and Valtrex both work very well. One isn't
necessarily better than the other for episodic dosing. For the Valtrex you take
500 mg twice a day for three days for outbreaks. Famvir is 125 mg twice a day
for five days for outbreaks.

Fon calls itself a movement. It has a manifesto and uses words like solidarity and revolution. The design of Fon's Web site is reminiscent of Soviet propaganda art. Fon comes complete with its own lingo, with participants known as Foneros, Bills, Linuses and Aliens.
Yet behind the brotherly-love imagery are plans for making money, as well as a few question marks.
Fon, an organization launched in Europe in early November, aims to be a global community of people sharing and using each other's Wi-Fi hotspots. "We create a global Wi-Fi cloud out of what used to be disparate hotspots," said Martin Varsavsky, the organization's founder. "We take this Wi-Fi mess and turn it into a Wi-Fi network."
Varsavsky has started several companies in his time including Jazz Telecom SA, the Spanish telecommunications operator, and Ya.com, Spain's Internet content company now owned by T-Online International AG. Beyond his startups, Varsavsky is also active in a number of organizations involved with global social issues, and it is perhaps this side of him that planted the seed for the idea behind Fon.
"Foneros," as those who participate are called, download software onto their Wi-Fi access points or buy an access point with the software from Fon or an ISP. Foneros come in two shades. Those who want to make money are known as Bills, named, of course, after Bill Gates. Those who just want to share their hotspots and use other Foneros' hotspots for free are know as Linuses, after Linus Torvalds, developer of the open-source Linux kernel.
"The Wi-Fi revolution needs both the socialists (the Linuses) and the 'free marketeers' (the Bills)," Varsavsky wrote in his blog.
There's also a third category of people involved, called Aliens. Aliens don't contribute to the network but they pay Foneros to use their hotspots.
An Alien might, for example, sit at a cafe with a laptop and find a Fon hotspot operated by a Fonero. The software on the access point will ask the Alien to pay to use the hotspot. Once a month the Fonero will receive a check or payment to their account from Fon for the Aliens' usage.
Bills cannot use other Fon hotspots unless they pay, like an Alien. Linuses, on the other hand, offer use of their hotspots to other Linuses for free, and in exchange they're allowed to use any Fon hotspot.
Fon is just getting started, with just 100 hotspots around the globe, and the ability to pay or get paid isn't yet available. Following its debut in Europe, Fon plans its official U.S. launch in January, and Varsavsky hopes to launch the pay service soon after. He plans to offer the service at cheaper rates than other commercial hotspot operators. Aliens will pay

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|change the coil first
TBI 350 No start...
Man...Hey guys! I just bought a 92 chevy full size van. It's got a 350tbi. I thought I got a pretty good deal, but now I'm thinking not so much. I had to pay to have all of the locks replaced, because the key only worked in one of the locks. TODAY, I'm driving home from work, and all of the sudden the engine starts feeling really gutless, then it surges back to life, gutless again on next accelleration, fine at cruising speed, gutless again at accelleration, then fine again, etc...etc...I get home, and go to turn her off, and the key won't turn past run. I couldn't get the thing turned off for nothing. I ended up diconecting the positive battery cable because that was the only one I could get to with the available tools. I got a new ignition cylinder put in, and now the damn thing wont start! I've got the engine cover pulled, and it doesn't look like I am getting fuel, and the coil is arking to random places in it's own vicinity. However, with the power surging what would you guys try first? Also is there something that likely got messed up disconecting the battery while it was running? I checked all the fuses btw. I am supposed to be driving all the way back to Alaska from Arizona tomorrow night!
Sorry to be so long winded, but I wanted to make sure you guy know what I know at this point. As always your help is SO greatly appreciated!

Danggg Joseline "Did You At Least Pinch the Chick"
Sources stated on the airing of "Love and Hip Hop Reunion Show" a brawl broke out between the ratchet cast, then again what's new. Twitter and IG is escalating with the truth behind it all; but what truth shall we believe.
It was said by Benzino that his lady gave Joseline the business, and I must say I believe him. Joseline all that poppin off is cute for the viewers but we all know those Puerto Rican Princess hands don't rock in these streets.

Node 0.9.11 was released last week, which has more changes for the new streams API. The
_read method no longer takes a callback, which means your current
_read methods need to be updated to call
push() instead. If you're unsure about the new API, Node's tests (in test/simple) are useful for figuring out what to do.
These updates were pulled into isaacs/readable-stream, which is a module that allows you to use streams2 in Node 0.8. If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend attempting to migrate your pre-0.10 custom streams to it, at least to prepare for Node 0.10.
clinch (GitHub: Meettya / clinch, License: MIT, npm: clinch) by Meettya is a CommonJS module to browser build system. It has a lot of features, some of which streamline working with CoffeeScript and Jade:
require function is not used, which means the client-side overheads are relatively low
The author has provided tests, but at the moment the documentation could do with some work -- it's written in English which isn't the author's native language, so perhaps someone could help him with that?
Julian Gruber sent in a whole bunch of modules, but the one I thought was cool was review (GitHub: juliangruber / review, License: MIT, npm: review). This module can be used to generate screenshots of sites according to various parameters -- you could use it to check designs at various resolutions, for example.
Julian also sent in jilla which is a command-line client for JIRA, and statsc, a browser library for graphite/statsd servers.

Morning Football Update: Injured Brady expected to play
It's my final blog entry of the football season. I feel like a kid on the last day of school. Wooooooooooo!
Here's your regular reminder about where you can find fantasy advice as kickoff approaches this weekend:
- Tweet the FOXSports.com fantasy team. I'm at @jhalpin37, and you can also contact Ryan Fowler (@FOXSportsFowler), Joel Beall (@FOXSportsBeall) and Mike Harmon (@SwollenDome).
- Post a message on the Facebook pages for Harmon, Fowler and me.
- Listen to FOX Fantasy Freaks Harmon, Peter Burns and Nate Lundy, on FOX Sports Radio Sunday from 9 a.m. until noon ET. You can also tweet those guys (@FantasyFreaks).
- Chat with Fowler, Beall and me on FOXSports.com Sunday from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. We'll be in the chat room together, answering questions from the smaller number of you playing in Week 17, as well as looking forward to 2012.
On to the news:
Check out the greatest fantasy
- Tom Brady owners may have heard that he missed practice Wednesday. Brady has an injured left shoulder, practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday, and is expected to play Sunday against the Bills. With home-field advantage in the AFC at stake, I wouldn't worry about Brady missing this one.
- Texans WR Andre Johnson is on track to return after missing nine of the last 11 games due to a hamstring injury. If you're planning to start Johnson, make sure he's active on Sunday morning.
- Speaking of the Texans, one Houston columnist thinks they should treat Sunday's matchup like a preseason game, and I agree. In other possible rest-a-player news, Matt Flynn is ready to take some snaps for the Packers, Falcons RB Michael Turner (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice, and Lions WR Calvin Johnson (Achilles) is day-to-day. I'd be shocked if the Lions rested anyone - since a loss would put them at risk of visiting the Saints in the wildcard round instead of the Giants or Cowboys - but since that notion has been floated by a few people, I thought I'd mention them here. The Packers and Texans have nothing to play for, and the Falcons will be in the same situation IF the Lions win in Green Bay.
- Eagles RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) doesn't want to miss Sunday's game. That's great, but make sure he's active if you own him.
- Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger (ankle) practiced fully on Wednesday and Thursday, and appears ready to go against the Browns. The main thing you need to worry about is Roethlisberger getting pulled with a big lead.
- It sounds like Cowboys QB Tony Romo (thumb) and RB Felix Jones (hamstring) will be ready to go against the Giants. If you need me on Sunday night, I'll be curled up in the fetal position on my couch.
- Speaking of the Giants, WR Hakeem Nicks (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but says he'll play this week. I live about three miles from Nicks' house in south Charlotte, and if he's not on the field Sunday night, he can look forward to a full offseason of me ringing his doorbell and running away, and toilet-papering his trees.
- The Chargers have plenty of injury issues, with WR Vincent Jackson (groin), RB Mike Tolbert (hamstring) and RB Ryan Mathews (calf) all missing practice time this week. Mathews is the only one of the trio that practiced Thursday, and is therefore the most likely to play.
- Look for John Skelton to start again at quarterback for the Cardinals.
- If you care, Bills WR Brad Smith (hamstring) probably won't play Sunday.
- Bengals WR A.J. Green (shoulder) was limited in Thursday's practice, but is expected to play in Sunday's important game.
- So, a guy who skipped a game with strep throat because his agent told him to thinks the Madden Curse is the reason for his bad season? Good grief.
- If Chiefs RB Jackie Battle (foot) can't play, it will mean more work for Thomas Jones and Dexter McCluster, as well as a potentially bigger role for QB Kyle Orton. I already wrote here that I like Orton as a matchup play this week.
- Look for Vikings QB Christian Ponder (concussion) to start on Sunday.
- It sounds like the Saints will once again be without RB Mark Ingram (toe). WR Lance Moore (hamstring) is questionable as well.
- Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (ankle) hasn't practiced this week, but is expected to play Sunday.
- Titans RB Chris Johnson (ankle) should be back at practice today after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. The Titans need to win, so look for CJ2K to play.
- Looking for Darren McFadden one last time? Sorry - not gonna happen.
- Kellen Clemens is expected to start at quarterback again for the Rams. That will be a final stab in the back for Sam Bradford owners. Remember four months ago, when idiots like me drafted Bradford with the hope that he'd break out in Josh McDaniels' offense? Yeah, that didn't quite work out.
- I don't think we're going to see Redskins RB Roy Helu (knee, toe) this week. Look for another busy day for Evan Royster. If that doesn't scream "end your fantasy season in Week 16," I don't know what does.
- Finally, I'd like to wish a Happy Birthday to my daughter Abby, who turns eight today. She screamed with delight when opening her first gift - a poster with all 32 NFL team helmets.
performances over the last 10
Thanks for a great season, folks. Please stay in touch on Facebook and Twitter during the offseason. I'll post some baseball stuff here soon. Good luck this week!

SpaceX Livestreams Sunday's Rocket Launch (space.com) 74
An anonymous reader quotes Space.com: A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the 10 satellites for Iridium Communications is scheduled to liftoff from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at 1:25 p.m. PDT (4:25 p.m. EDT/2025 GMT). The live webcast is expected to begin about 1 hour before the opening of the launch window, and you can watch it on SpaceX's website, or at Space.com. This is the second of eight planned Iridium launches with SpaceX. The launches will deliver a total of 75 satellites into space for the $3 billion Iridium NEXT global communications network. "Iridium NEXT will replace the company's existing global constellation in one of the largest technology upgrades ever completed in space," according to a statement from Iridium. "It represents the evolution of critical communications infrastructure that governments and organizations worldwide rely upon to drive business, enable connectivity, empower disaster relief efforts and more."
After the mission the booster rocket will attempt to land on a droneship. The droneships name is "Just Read The Instructions."

Nor was Praeneste's founder wanting there,
Whom fame reports the son of Mulciber:
Found in the fire, and foster'd in the plains,
A shepherd and a king at once he reigns,
And leads to Turnus' aid his country swains.
His own Praeneste sends a chosen band,
With those who plow Saturnia's Gabine land;
Besides the succor which cold Anien yields,
The rocks of Hernicus, and dewy fields,
Anagnia fat, and Father Amasene—/L>
A num'rous rout, but all of naked men:
Nor arms they wear, nor swords and bucklers wield,
Nor drive the chariot thro' the dusty field,
But whirl from leathern slings huge balls of lead,
And spoils of yellow wolves adorn their head;
The left foot naked, when they march to fight,
But in a bull's raw hide they sheathe the right.

Anything for My Daughter (Part 1)
6 comments:
LOL & Brilliant! Great job & use of picsz. I love the story. I hoe the mom loves being the daughter since I don't see her giving up her moms body anytime soon! LOL! again thaans for all the F/F swapsReplyDelete
Bte the way hows the girl doign with her new husband? I assume shes married as her mom does seem to have to go to work?Replies
Lol, I should really include more of the realism stuff into my caps. I actually JUST finished this story, and I won't have anything on their jobs and whatnot. I'll try and explain though...Delete
I'm thinking the daughter is enjoying every part of being her mom-- the body (of course), her job (she loves having one, and thinks her mom's secretary job is easy), and yes, even her new husband (for her, since she's in her mom's body she feels like she really IS her mom, and that means she can treat her dad like her hubby).
I'll try and add more background in later caps; sorry! :(
Thanks for the answer makes sense!Delete
- AnonymousApril 7, 2012 at 3:56 AM
Really love this one! Agree that mom is hot but also wonder where you found the picture of daughter?Delete
@Anonymous - My friend found the picture actually, and I believe it was on a site where they don't have multiple pics of the same person, so I sadly won't be able to find her again I don't think. :(Delete
Glad you like it though!

Both bodies are hot! Love the details you added above!ReplyDelete

This thing is going to be pretty badass
A lot has happened with Namco Bandai's toy line in recent months, as S.H. Figurarts and D-Arts have since combined into one unit. Rockman Unity is also teasing its newest addition, Mega Man Zero, with a few early shots of the model. Even though they're pretty basic, it's shaping up to be a pretty sweet figure.
Odds are it won't launch for at least a few months, and when it does, it'll be under the new S.H. line -- so if you're shopping around don't look for D-Arts!

Samir Nasri is in the form of his life, according to Cesc Fabregas.
The French international has had a magnificent season so far, scoring 11 goals, creating many more and scooping Player of the Month awards for October and November.
In many ways Nasri has taken on Fabregas' own creative mantle while the captain recovers from his hamstring injury, and the Spaniard believes his team-mate has never played better.
"I think Samir said it himself, but he's in the form of his life," Fabregas told the Official Matchday Programme.
"Perhaps he could have been playing the same way without scoring and people wouldn't have noticed it as much, but now he's getting goals too and for me he is one of those who are leading the team the most.
"It's his third season here and sometimes it takes a while to settle in, but this season he's been so regular in his form. His goals [against Fulham] on Saturday showed incredible composure and sometimes it's all about confidence - when that's high, you do things you might not be capable of if you're not in good form."

Looks great Karl! It seems like you may be doing some longer distances on this bike? How comfortable is it? I can't imagine that kind of power :yikes: Do you have any sound clips of the exhaust?
its not bad for comfort, I just got back from a 239 mile ride over 4 hours
got off the bike once for a 10 min break to have a quick drink and restroom. could have gone for another couple hundred at least but had to get home,for reference im 6-2 215lbs and will be 50yo in Feb..
I need to put up a video/sound clip one of these days as it does sound very nice:D
Great looking bike! I'll have to give the 1000RR a test ride this spring.
Very nice! I'm curious to know how bad prices are on the after market equipment. I've been talking my self into getting one of these for a while. But am affraid of BMW prices. The cost of the bike it self is very reasonable, it's everything else that concerns me. Full system, power commander, olins shocks, traction control. I love my zx-10 and It'll stay around but it's all track now and I want one more sport bike for the road before I go all old and cruiser on the street lol
prices in the after market are pretty much on par with Jap bikes, not like ducati aftermarket at all
Absolutely amazing. Just saw one of these in person for the first time yesterday, that thing was mean looking!
it is def a pull your arms of their sockets at any speed bike, and with the wheels and susp it handles like a dream

Women at the turn of the 20th century were increasingly involved in paid work outside the home. For wage-earning women in the Old Port section of Portland, the jobs ranged from canning fish and vegetables to setting type. A study done in 1907 found many women did not earn living wages.
When America entered the Great War in 1917, the government sent out pleas for help from American women, many of whom responded at the battle front and on the home front.
Workers in Maine have labored in factories, on farms, in the woods, on the water, among other locales. Many of Maine's occupations have been determined by the state's climate and geographical features.

When Charles Hamelin takes to the ice in Sochi to defend his gold medals, Jacob Koenig will be glued to a TV set.

Speed skater Hamelin won gold in the men's 500m event and the men's 5,000 relay event at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. His performance four years ago, along with the rest of Canada's speed skaters, was a big reason why Koenig is now on the ice four times a week.

One day, perhaps, it will be Koenig hitting the ice for his country at the Winter Olympics.

"That would be a dream," the 14-year-old Westmount Secondary School student says. "It's a long road."

Koenig is in his fourth season with the Hamilton Speed Skating Club. Before making the switch to speed skating, he played hockey.

But the speed of at which Hamelin and Clara Hughes, another of his heroes in the sport, could attain on ice caught his attention.

"I always loved skating and was amazed at how fast they were going," said Koenig, who now competes provincially.

Beyond the small world of speed skaters, the sport doesn't get a lot of attention from the Canadian public outside of Olympic years. But about 50 members of the Hamilton Speed Skating Club practise under the tutelage of certified coaches each week at the Chedoke Twin Pad Arena and Sherman Recreation Centre.

The club is open to athletes 17 or younger who are residents of Hamilton. It gives youth the opportunity to participate in speed skating under the auspices of the Ontario Speed Skating Association, both for recreation and to compete in race meets around the province. Because of the cost of the specialized skates, there is a skate rental program for members who are not ready to make the plunge and buy their own.

The Hamilton club is hosting a meet on Family Day, Feb. 17, at Mainway Arena in Burlington. Admission is free and everyone is welcome to come out and see what the sport is like.

Not everyone involved in the club wants to compete at the highest level, says Koenig.

"It's a very inviting atmosphere," he says. "Speed skating is something you get into for the fun, to meet new friends and for personal fitness."

"It's something you can do for fun all your life."

For more information about the Hamilton Speed Skating Club, see hamiltonspeedskating.ca.

International students
Limited funds are available to assist international students who demonstrate need. The process used to determine if an international student will receive aid is very selective and is based on the strength of the candidate's application for admission. In a typical year, 90 to 100 qualified international freshman and transfer applicants compete for 10 to 20 awards. All offers of financial assistance includes grants, work opportunities, and loans. Loans must be repaid to the college.
Entering students who wish to be considered for financial aid must complete the College Board PROFILE. Fee waivers are available from the financial aid office for applicants who also qualify for an admission application fee waiver. To finalize an offer of financial aid, entering international students must submit the Certification of Finances form and provide documentation of income and assets.
Continuing students who wish to be considered for financial aid must submit the College Scholarship Service's (CSS) Profile by April 1 each year to be considered for financial aid in each subsequent year.
Requests for aid reconsideration
Reed is committed to meeting a student's financial need based on information reported on the College Board's PROFILE and the FAFSA. The formulas used to calculate the financial aid award are nationally standardized allowing us to provide equitable treatment to all financial aid applicants.
We recognize, though, that a family's financial resources may change unexpectedly or significantly after the initial financial aid award is calcuated which may affect the family's ability to contribute toward the student's educational expenses. In this type of situation, Reed College's Financial Aid Office will conduct a thorough and personal review of the family's individual circumstances.
Reviews are typically conducted because of a significant change in a family's financial situation or because incorrect information was provided on the aid applications. We will not respond to generalized requests simply for more funding.
Requests for reevaluation must be in writing (see applicable forms below) and must include a detailed description of your family's unique circumstances.
Read more about the reconsideration process and access the appropriate forms.
House advisers
If you accept a position as a house advisor (HA) for the 2016-2017 academic year, the earnings you receive must be reported on both your CSS Financial Aid/PROFILE and your FAFSA applications for the appropriate aid year. For example, 2016-2017 HAs would report their Fall 2016 earnings (along with any other 2016 calendar year earnings) on their 2018-2019 aid applications. Their Spring 2017 earnings (along with any other 2017 calendar year earnings) would be reported on their 2019-2020 aid applications. If you have other taxable and/or non-taxable income in addition to your HA earnings, your eligibility for some federal programs may be affected in subsequent years. The amount of earnings generated as a result of your HA position will be removed from the college's calculation of your contribution from income before determining your eligibility for institutional grant funding.
Off-campus and foreign study
Students who participate in one of the college's official off-campus study programs have their eligibility for financial aid based on the actual cost of the appropriate program.
The college provides institutional financial aid consideration for only four years. The year (or semester) you participate in an off-campus study program counts towards this total eligibility. If it is necessary for you to be at Reed for a ninth semester because of your participation in an off campus study program, you will not be eligible for institutional financial aid for the extra semester; however, you would still be able to participate in federal financial aid programs.
The process of re-applying for financial aid while you are on an off-campus study program is the same as if you were still at Reed.
Withdrawals and leaves
Students who leave the college must notify appropriate offices, including student services, registrar, business office, and financial aid office. Students who withdraw or take a leave before the first day of classes will have their charges and their financial aid canceled for the period of non-enrollment.
Students who withdraw or take a leave after the first day of classes may be entitled to a refund. The refund of tuition and room and board is based on the percentage of the payment period completed by the student. The effective withdrawal or leave date, established by the student services office, determines the specific period of completion. No refunds of, or adjustments to, the student body fee or the student health insurance fee are made. Non-federal Title IV financial aid, including but not limited to institutional grants, outside scholarships, and state grants with no federally matched funds will be refunded according to this refund percentage.
For students who are recipients of federal Title IV financial aid, additional calculations must be made for refunds. First, the college calculates the amount of Title IV aid earned by the student for the percentage of payment period completed. If the percentage of payment period completed is greater than 60 percent, the student is considered to have earned 100 percent of their Title IV aid; otherwise, they have earned the actual percentage calculated. Second, the college compares the amount earned with the amount disbursed to determine the amount that must be returned to the Title IV programs. The amount disbursed is that aid awarded and disbursed to the student's account, plus the Title IV aid awarded that could have been disbursed to the student's account (such as memo balances). Third, the college determines the amount of Title IV aid that must be returned to the Title IV programs by the college and by the student. Aid is returned to the Title IV program in the following program order: unsubsidized Direct Loan, subsidized Direct Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal PLUS Loan, Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, and other Title IV programs such as Byrd Scholarships and state grants with federally matched funds. The business office has more detailed information on the refund policy.
Students who withdraw or take a medical leave of absence must be approved to return to the college before eligibility for financial aid will be reinstated.

More and more shops are looking at the numbers than ever before. Years ago a body shop was owned and ran by an artist (or a hack, depending) and seldom were the numbers looked at like most any other "manufacturing" company. With the margins getting tighter and tighter in this industry shop owners are looking more and more at how to save time here and there and run the shop more efficiently. There is nothing wrong with this of course UNLESS it effects the quality of the end product. A lot of time we fight it, just because it is change and we as humans resist change.
The shop I have worked at for the last 13 years has really gotten into training on this subject and I found it interesting as all hell. At the same time, when someone is telling you to change, it's difficult and I too resisted. When we were told that we would be painting all the panels off the car and then have to install them newly painted, holy crap how are we going to do that I asked. The production manager said "It's ether that or you go cut grass". Not every encouraging, but he was right, I was a body tech and I should be able to do it, if others are doing it right?
In no time we were all doing it in the shop and it wasn't a big deal at all. Heck I can put on newly painted doors by myself. Change, ahhhhh, it's always hard but if you become a better tech because of it, why not?

Chelsea won the first trophy of the English season when it beat London rival Arsenal, 2-1, in Sunday's League Cup final marred by an ugly brawl that saw three players sent off near the end of the game.
Teenager Theo Walcott put Arsenal ahead in the 12th minute, but Chelsea star Didier Drogba responded
with the tying goal in the 20th minute and the winner six minutes from time.
Arsenal captain Kolo Toure and teammate Emmanuel Adebayor and Chelsea substitute John Obi Mikel were sent off. The incident started when Toure and Mikel tussled, and players from both
teams then piled in. Adebayor had to be restrained after receiving his red card from referee Howard Webb.
The Chelsea win was marred by a serious
injury to captain John Terry, who fell to the ground and swallowed his tongue after being accidentally kicked in the head by Arsenal's Abou Diaby. The was stopped for six minutes while Terry, who was unconscious for about a minute, was being treated. He was
hospitalized and later released, though he was reported to be unable to remember anything about the incident.
GERMANY. Second-place Stuttgart
couldn't take advantage of leader Schalke's 1-0 loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen with a 0-0 tie against Hertha Berlin. Schalke, which fell on Stefan Kiessling's
goal for Bayer with five minutes remaining, leads Stuttgart by four points, with Werder Bremen is six behind and fourth-place Bayern Munich nine off the pace. Werder Bremen had to settle for a 2-2
draw at last-place Borussia Moenchengladbach, while Bayern beat Wolfsburg, 2-1, on goals by Lukas Podolski and Mark van
ITALY. Inter Milan made it 17 wins in a row in Serie A with a 5-2 win at Catania. It
wasn't until the 45th minute that Inter got on the board thanks to Argentine Walter Samuel, but it put the game away with goals from ex-NCAA Division III star
Santiago Solari, Fabio Grosso, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Julio Ricardo Cruz in the second half. Second-place Roma remained 14 points behind thanks to its 3-0 win over Reggina on goals from Francesco
Tavano, Philippe Mexes and Christian Panucci.
Barcelona took sole possession of first place in la Liga when it beat Athletic Bilbao, 3-0, while Sevilla could only manage a 0-0 tie at Getafe. Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o continued his comeback from a serious knee injury with a big match in the win over Bilbao. He scored the third goal and was involved in the first two -- a Fernando Amorebieta own goal and a Xavi goal. Valencia and Real Madrid fell six points behind Barcelona. Valencia was held to
a 1-1 tie by last-place Gimnastic Tarragona when Ruben Castro scored in stoppage time. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid tied, 1-1. Fernando Torres scored his first goal for Atletico in nine games, but French-born Gonzalo Higuain equalized for Real with his first goal since
moving to Spain from Argentina's River Plate.

How much is missed sleep costing you?
Lack of sleep not only leads to fatigue and loss of concentration, it may be costing families their health, too. Dr Justin Coulson investigates the latest studies and why families aren't getting enough sleep.
March 14 is World Sleep Day. Does that mean we all get to stay in bed with the covers pulled up to our nostrils? Sleep in until 11am? Take a 'nanna nap' at about two-ish?
If you're like most parents, you are sleep deprived! There's every chance that at least some of your kids are, too. In fact, if they are, it may be the very same reason you are.
How much sleep is enough?
It is probably no surprise that most of us are sleep deprived. We know it when it happens because we feel like a wreck. While everyone is different, researchers suggest we need the following amount of sleep (on average) each day:
- Infants/babies: Between 14 and 18 hours per day (newborns start high and the hours decrease with age)
- Toddlers/preschoolers: Between 12 and 14 hours per day
- Primary school age: Between 10 and 12 hours per day
- High school age: Between eight and 10 hours per day (and usually closer to 9.5 – 10 hours)
- Adults: Between seven and nine hours per day
So … how do you measure up?
It's true that we can all function on fewer hours. Many adults claim to be 'too busy' for sleep, that five or six hours is all they can manage and they've learned to live with that. However, sleep deprivation comes at a cost.
The costs of missed sleep
Let's take a look at how missing sleep affects our children (and us):
Brain function
Our kids' brains don't function as well as they do when they are well rested. This means they don't learn effectively. It means memory retention is diminished because they miss important REM sleep, which is involved in memory consolidation. Our kids also struggle with concentration, planning, an inability to be creative and difficulties with complex thinking and processes (like maths and science problems). In short, brains don't work anywhere near full capacity when we miss out on sleep.
Physical function
Being overweight and obese is linked with lack of sleep. Getting enough sleep means our metabolism works more effectively. Sleep deprivation is linked with poorer physical health and more illness. And lack of sleep stops our children exercising because they're too tired. Tiredness also reduces co-ordination and increases clumsiness, so our children are more prone to accidents.
Psycho-social function
Without enough sleep, kids struggle to inhibit their behaviour effectively. This means behaviour regulation can be poor and they are more likely to do and say silly things and be anti-social, aggressive or even moody, irritable and depressed.
I was surprised to find that missed sleep has been calculated to have a significant financial cost to business and the economy. $1.2 billion dollars per annum, for the state of Victoria alone. Ouch! (That's less about our kids and more about us – but sleep deprivation costs.)
Relationship function
Perhaps the most important issue related to missed sleep is that relationships suffer. Children and adults treat people poorly. We lack patience, respond sharply and hurt others. The relational cost from lack of sleep is significant and often overlooked in scientific research.
Why aren't we and our kids getting enough sleep?
There may be as many reasons for this as there are families. However, some of the reasons are more obvious than others. The obvious culprits are:
- Our devices: They stimulate us, keep us wired and switch our brains on for extended periods, even when we've finally switched the device off.
- Our environment: Is it quiet enough, dark enough, comfortable enough and the right temperature?
- Feeling safe and secure: We need to consider the feelings of safety our kids experience. Do they go to bed feeling secure about life? Do we?
So what do we do?
Three tips for a good night's sleep
1. Get a routine – and stick to it
Researchers have found that getting the routine right is central to good sleep. Little children may do best with a warm bath following dinner and then some stories, songs, cuddles and soft music. Older children have greater independence but will benefit similarly from this type of routine.
That routine will change with our children's development, but we should strive for consistency. In particular, going to bed at the same time each night helps with sleep quality. If we can get our kids snoring around the same time each night, they are significantly less likely to show disruptive behaviour and significantly more likely to regulate their emotions well. As bed times vary by greater amounts, challenging behaviour increases.
2. Get rid of devices
Experts universally agree that devices should be out of bedrooms. But you may not be aware that devices should also be switched off at least 30 (but preferably 60) minutes prior to sleep.
3. Keep things calm
No one sleeps when they are upset, stressed or buzzing. When kids are pushing against sleep, don't force it. Stay calm, kind and soft. Some suggestions:
- Perhaps they're really not tired. If so, it might be OK to allow them to read a book.
- Perhaps they're over-tired. If so, it might be best to sacrifice 10 minutes to lay with them and snuggle.
