Can't believe Friday is already here!
We are finally in Prague! I really can't believe that I have no more studying to do:) I am so happy I can now put a lot more hours on my blog and find ways to improve it. I have a lot of ideas (kind of a brainstorm I would say!) and I can't wait to share them with you. But for now I just can't wait to go shopping and just enjoy my time with my family:)
Blue and pink? I will blame it on the Spring fairy (or something)! All I can currently think of is colours, colours and more colours. The weather lately wasn't the best but I think a bright top of shoes can always fix things! I love the bright pink and black contrast of the top and the lace detailing just ties everything together. Now these shoes, I am obsessed! Can you guess where they are from? New Look of course:)
I am wearing:
Top - Topshop
Shorts - H&M
Belt - Primark
Heels - New Look
Bag - Primark
Bracelets - Guess & Primark

1. Re: JBOSS 4.0.5 with Axis 2Janos Biro Apr 6, 2007 6:27 AM (in response to I-Chun Lin)
Hi, it is very easy since AXIS2.war can be deployed in the embedded Tomcat of JBoss as it would be a standalone Tomcat.
Of course I hope you do not expect from this AXIS2 to work as e.g. JAX-WS or JAX-RPC implementation for EJBs... it won't work, but work as just a simple AXIS2 in a Tomcat and nothing more
2. Re: JBOSS 4.0.5 with Axis 2muhamad ibrahim Aug 16, 2007 3:10 AM (in response to I-Chun Lin)
hi... i'm also wondering on how this can be done...
3. Re: JBOSS 4.0.5 with Axis 2Thomas Naecker Aug 20, 2007 8:16 AM (in response to I-Chun Lin)
I´ve put the axis2.war File in the deploy folder of jboss 4.0.5. When i restart the server i get the error: Invalid Handler phase rule has not been specified. What do i have to know for deploying axis2 in jboss? I´ve used tomcat server before without problems.
Now i want to test jboss as servlet container and it fails with that error :-(
Can somebody help me, i have never worked with jboss before.
4. Re: JBOSS 4.0.5 with Axis 2Iain Morrison Aug 21, 2007 11:53 AM (in response to I-Chun Lin)
I'm running with 4.0.4 and have just deployed AXIS2 1.3. I followed the axis instructions on the apache site and put the axis2.war file in the deploy / webapps folder and it deployed with no problems. I've not seen that error - sorry - but at least you know it can be done.
I do have a question about deploying web services. I can successfully deploy .aar services using the administration tool and through packaging them up in the axis2.war, however from my reading of the documentation it seems to suggest you can drop the .aar file in to the webapps/axis2/WEB-INF/services folder and it will automatically deploy. Am I reading this correct as if I do it I get a "waiting for a deployer message" which suggests to me that JBoss doesn't recognise the .aar file. I feel I'm missing something.

Stonington residents see drop in home values
Stonington - When property owners received their revaluation notices this week, many saw a substantial decrease in the values of their homes.
This is the first time since 2007 that the town conducted a revaluation, a time period during which real estate values plummeted and only recently have begun to slightly rebound. The town's approximately 10,000 properties were valued as of Oct. 1, 2102.
Tax Assessor Marsha Standish said this week that townwide residential property values have decreased 19 to 20 percent while commercial and industrial values have dropped 17 percent.
She stressed that these are averages and the value of an individual property is based on numerous factors.
The town appraises properties based on sales of comparable properties and then assesses them at 70 percent of their fair market value. That assessment is what property owners are taxed on once the town approves an annual budget.
Property owners cannot take their new assessment and multiply it by the existing tax rate to figure out their new tax bill because that calculation would produce an incorrect, much smaller tax bill.
This is because with the decrease in the value of properties, the town will need to increase its tax rate so it can raise the needed tax revenue to fund the budget. In addition, motor vehicle and personal property assessments still have to be included in the grand list of all taxable property in town. Finally, the Board of Finance has to adopt a proposed 2013-14 budget that voters then have to approve.
All property owners should have received their assessment notices this week. Those who have questions about their assessments or feel they are incorrect can make an appointment with Vision Government Solutions, the firm that conducted the revaluation for the town.
To schedule an appointment, go online at www.vgsi.com/schedules or phone (888) 844-4300 on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The last day to schedule an appointment is Jan. 25. The PID number at the top of the revaluation notice is needed to book an appointment.
The entire 2012 revaluation can be viewed at www.vgsi.com or www.stonington-ct.gov.
If property owners are still dissatisfied with their assessment after their informal hearing with Vision Government Solutions, they can file a written appeal with the town's Board of Assessment Appeals on or before March 20.

Studly Soldier Gives His Buddy A Christmas Lap Dance
Nigel Campbell | December 24, 2013
Mistletoe isn't the only thing hanging in these military barracks!
One soldier decided to share more than the Christmas spirit when he surprised his buddy with a private ass-baring lap dance!
Our only complaint is that the clip's so short! We wanted to see whether this soldier was more into giving or receiving his Christmas gifts!

After we published a story Wednesday about the apparent drug-overdose death of Scott Sterling, the son of Clippers owner Donald Sterling, a reporter who covered the Clippers in the late 1980s wrote in:
You may recall that in 1988, the Clippers drafted Danny Manning first overall. The negotiations were contentious and dragged well into his rookie year. Manning's agent was the late Ron Grinker. At one point during negotiations, Grinker met with reporters (including me) in a hotel room near LAX. In the course of conversation, I recall him talking about what a weirdo Donald Sterling was. He said that he had been at Sterling's house, and Sterling's son was there (so if it was the one who has died, the kid probably would have been about 7 at the time). Anyway, as Grinker told it, the kid misbehaved in some way. And so, Grinker recounted, Sterling told the kid to "get naked" in front of the guest. Sterling then spanked the poor kid's bare ass in front of Grinker and god knows who else (possibly Manning). So as I read about the death of Sterling's son today, I was reminded of this anecdote and wonder how many more humiliations this kid was subjected to by his slumlord father.
This almost certainly would've had to have been Scott. Sterling and his wife had three children—two daughters and a son, according to a public records search. Because the data in public records searches isn't infallible, we called the Clippers to confirm, but they declined to comment on whether Sterling had a son besides Scott. Public records indicate Scott was the youngest of the three—his older siblings would have been in their late teens and early 20s in 1988. Know more? Let us know.

Discover the taste of Morocco
Morocco's cuisine comes among the top appeals of the country. At Riad Laaroussa, we pride ourselves in sharing this passion with you. We serve home-style Moroccan cuisine, with locally grown seasonal ingredients.
We will make every effort to meet any special dietary needs, just be sure to let us know when making your booking.
Upon request, we provide a light lunch menu at 165 dirhams per person and a traditional Moroccan menu for dinner at 280 dirhams per person (children's menu at 165 dirhams from 5 to 10 years old).
The ancient Roman mosaics of Volubilis remind us that Morocco has been a land of wine for centuries. All began in the region of Meknes. Though the vine's importance fluctuated with history, it never completely disappeared. Today, the tradition is reborn. Since the 1990s, Morocco has witnessed a notable increase in varieties, significant investment and the arrival of talented winemakers.
Meknes, the heart of winemaking in Morocco, benefiting from moderate rain and rich sun, these vineyards enjoy exceptional conditions, including sandy soil with clay and limestone. Sixty percent of Morocco's wine production comes from this region, essentially from the estates of Castel, Zouina and Celliers de Meknès.
We take pride in supporting this tradition by offering a wine selection exclusively of Moroccan wine, primarily from the region of Meknes.
The Riad is equipped with a huge kitchen where our chef will gladly have you discover the legendary Fassi cuisine. Join us in discovering the delights of a Moroccan kitchen with a cooking class.
More than a formal cooking lesson, it is about sharing a day in a Moroccan kitchen with our cooks and learning how to prepare the day's meal (all kinds of traditional appetizers, tagines, couscous and some desserts).
When back from the market you may cook in an informal and friendly atmosphere until about 2pm. We do not charge for cooking lessons. Guests have dinner at the Riad to enjoy what they cooked.
Available only to guests staying at Riad Laaroussa.

About RBC > Community & Sustainability > News > Devereux program helps parents and kids tackle real-life behavioural challenges
We've all been there. You're out for a nice dinner and the child at the table next to yours is misbehaving. They might be yelling or crying, completely ignoring pleas from their parents to stop. The furthest thing from your mind would be that the child might be suffering from a mental illness and this is the first time the family has tried to have a night out in months.
This is a reality for many parents managing a child's mental illness.
Thanks to community integration programs, like the one at Devereux, parents can work together with their child and a clinician to overcome these challenges.
"Our program gives people their lives back," said David Schultheis, executive director, Devereux Pennsylvania Community Services. "We had one parent who couldn't take her daughter into a restaurant for five years. She had to go to drive-throughs so she didn't upset other patrons."
With Devereux's help, the family began going to public places with a behaviour specialist who would help the child and teach the parents how to address these difficult situations. The prevalence of these challenges is greater than you might think – Devereux's program helps approximately 450 children per year in the Philadelphia region alone.
"It's difficult to be a kid these days. The amount of pressure they feel on every level, from social and peer pressure to academics, to family pressure – the cumulative effects are staggering."
Devereux is a nationwide U.S. behavioural health care provider that serves both children and adults, with programs that operate in about a dozen states. While they do offer more conventional programs through their campus-based programming, Schultheis' specialty is working in communities, helping families cope with day to day challenges through programs like community integration and foster care.
"Some of the children we help have such severe mental health challenges their birth families can't cope with their behaviour, or keep them safe, and that's where our foster program comes in" said David. "Typically our foster parents are educators or law enforcement agents. They help the child learn how to manage, while the birth parents develop skills to help their child when they return home."
Most children return to their birth families after spending months, or sometimes just days with a foster family.
"I can't thank the RBC Foundation USA enough for their time and the gifts they've given Devereux," said David. "The donations have improved our entire organization – without their support we wouldn't be able to offer such comprehensive programming to the communities we serve."
"Our relationship with Devereux has developed into a true community partnership," said Greg Dupee, Senior Vice President, Financial Advisor, RBC Wealth Management, U.S. "By organizing golf tournaments, annual gala auctions and other fundraising opportunities, I'm pleased to personally help Devereux grow their programming initiatives."
The RBC Children's Mental Health Project, funded by the RBC Foundation, is a multi-year philanthropic commitment to support community-based and hospital programs that reduce stigma, provide early intervention and increase public awareness about children's mental health issues. Since 2008, the RBC Children's Mental Health Project has donated over $16 million to more than 200 organizations across Canada. In the United States, donations are managed through the RBC Foundation USA, which provided $2.2 million in grants to community organizations in 2011.

It's not possible to talk about the debut of Depressed Buttons at hot new dance club House of Loom on Sept. 9 without first talking about the apparent demise of The Faint.
Three members of The Faint -- frontman Todd Fink, keyboardist Jacob Thiele and drummer Clark Baechle -- make-up Depressed Buttons. So before we talked about the new project, Fink and Thiele set the record straight on The Faint, who haven't released an album since 2008's Fasciinatiion or performed live since their appearance at the 2010 MAHA Music Festival. Is the band kaput?
"I would say that it's not happening," Fink said last week via a phone call that included Thiele. "It could happen again, but it's not happening and there are no plans for it to happen at this point. Joel moved to California, and I guess he quit."
Joel is The Faint's bass player, Joel Petersen. "He doesn't want to do the band," Thiele said. "He really kind of lost interest a while ago. He doesn't really want us to do the band without him because he wouldn't like the music we'd make. This way he's not embarrassed by The Faint's music."
"He quit the band and assumes the band was over when he quit," Fink added. "But we're not just characters in his life. We all have invested the same amount of energy into the band, and felt like we could do it. His quitting is just that, and if we did do some more shows, we would consider checking with him to see if he wanted to do it, but assume he would not."
Fink said the remaining members of the band talked about doing a Faint tour next year in conjunction with a possible rerelease of Danse Macabre, The Faint's career-defining album, released 10 years ago this Aug. 21. The record sold 147,000 copies, making it the band's all-time bestseller and among the best selling Saddle Creek Records releases. A new live show would be center on Danse Macabre "and maybe Blank-Wave Arcade," Fink said. "I'd like to see those two remastered. I think they could be improved a lot."
If Petersen declined an invitation, Fink said, "We could do it with four of us. There's plenty of people in the band, or we could find someone else, too. I'd rather just do it with the four of us." The band is rounded out by guitarist Dapose.
As for Petersen, Fink said his quitting was the right thing to do if he didn't want to be in the band. "I don't have any hard feelings about it," Fink said. "People are just complicated."
Through Fink, Petersen said he didn't want to comment for this article. There's more to The Faint story and everything surrounding it, which will appear in next week's column.
Fink said Depressed Buttons grew out of Faint after parties DJ'd by Fink, Thiele and Baechle. "One thing led to another and we ended up doing that a lot," Fink said. "We found ourselves wanting music that we couldn't find, and thinking we should just make our own tracks, what we want to play."
The trio soon began taking more bookings outside of the after parties. Fink said Petersen, who doesn't like DJs, didn't want the events to be listed as "The Faint DJs."
"So we thought of a new name, Depressed Buttons, to kind of make fun of electronic music," Fink said.
Last December, Depressed Buttons released its first EP, QWERTY, on Mad Decent, an L.A.-based label owned by Thomas Wesley Pentz, a.k.a. Diplo, the Grammy-nominated producer of "Paper Planes," by M.I.A. "We plan to keep releasing our originals through them," Fink said.
Depressed Buttons also has remixed such acts as Of Montreal, Boy 8-Bit, Boys Noize, Shinichi Osawa, Teenage Bad Girl, Herr Styler, CSS, LOL Boys, Para One, Reset!, Felix Cartal, Tony Senghore, Tommie Sunshine, O+S, Autoerotic, Beataucue and Crookers.
The trio's DJ stints have included NYC's Webster Hall, Moscow's Solyanka Club, shows in Vienna, Nottingham, Berlin, and a headlining gig in front of thousands at the mammoth Avalon Hollywood.
Fink said Depressed Buttons wasn't made for Faint fans. "The point of it is different," he said. "The Faint was songs. You could dance to them if you like the song. Depressed Buttons may have words, may have lyrics, does have samples, but think of it as instrumental music. If there are voices, they are used as other instruments."
As for the upcoming Loom performance, which is part of a monthly residency at the club, "This is a dance party with club music," Fink said. "There's no performance aspect to it unless you like watching people tweak knobs and faders and press buttons. The point is to have fun and to dance and to expose Omaha to the type of things that are happening in the world in the electronic club scene. It's some futuristic stuff; it's not really for Faint fans, but we are people from The Faint."
"Depressed Buttons is forward thinking, it's one second ahead of the rest of the club scene," Thiele added. "It's sort of about the science of music. There's a lot of new music being made that couldn't have been made until now because the technology didn't exist. If you're in the right mindset, in the right club with the right vibe and sound system, it can be a really enlightening experience. I think some people prefer not to dance, but to close their eyes. It's avant-garde."
"You can't go too crazy," Fink responded, laughing. "It's still dance music."
Depressed Buttons performs Sept. 9 at House of Loom, 1012 So. 10th Street. The 21+ show starts at 10 p.m., cover is $5. For more information, go to houseofloom.com.

U.S. soybean farmers continue to reassure international customers of U.S. soy by meeting demand with high-quality soybeans. According to U.S. Census Bureau figures, U.S. soybean farmers exported more than 1.8 billion bushels of U.S. soy during the 2011-2012 marketing year, compared with approximately 2 billion bushels in 2010-2011. The 2012 export numbers include 1.3 billion bushels of whole soybeans, meal from more than 404 million bushels of soybeans and the oil from 126.5 million bushels of soybeans. U.S. soy exports this year are valued at more than $23 billion.
U.S. farmers harvested 3.05 billion bushels of soybeans last year, so these exports represent about 55% of that production. Soy customers in China, the largest importer, bought almost 850 million bushels of whole soybeans, or more than one out of every four rows U.S. farmers grew.
"Our customers' main concern has been whether we were going to be a reliable supplier," said Sharon Covert, soybean farmer from Tiskilwa, Ill., who leads USB's International Marketing program. "The checkoff continues to assure them that while we may not have as many bushels per acre, we are a reliable supplier of high-quality soybeans."
Throughout the year, the soy checkoff remains in contact with international customers to discuss many soy industry issues, such as quality and current crop conditions. These conversations proved to be especially important with this summer's conditions.
Covert adds that it is important for customers of U.S. soy to know that farmers provide this supply of soy in a sustainable manner. The production practices farmers use, such as no-till or low-till, are not only important to many soy buyers but also help soil retain water in dry years such as this past production year.
Top buyers of whole U.S. soybeans include:
• China: 848.7 million bushels
• Mexico: 122.1 million bushels
• Japan: 66.3 million bushels
• Indonesia: 65.1 million bushels
• Egypt: 43.1 million bushels
• Taiwan: 38.7 million bushels
Top buyers of U.S. soy meal include:
• Mexico: meal from 67.6 million bushels of soybeans
• Philippines: meal from 53.1 million bushels of soybeans
• Canada: meal from 50.4 million bushels of soybeans
Top buyers of U.S. soy oil include:
• Morocco: oil from 30.4 million bushels of soybeans
• Mexico: oil from 28.8 million bushels of soybeans
• China: oil from 20.2 million bushels of soybeans

Trisha Yearwood's 'Southern Kitchen' Show Inspired by Family, Especially Her Mom
By now, you may have heard that Trisha Yearwood is bringing her cooking talents to the Food Network for her new six-episode series, 'Trisha's Southern Kitchen.' But what fans of the songstress-turned-chef might not realize is just how family-inspired Yearwood's recipes really are.
In an interview with the Tennesseean, Yearwood dished about filming the show, mentioning that the episodes were inspired by those close to her. One episode in particular features her father's recipe for Brunswick Stew — the only meal her mother wanted to eat while undergoing treatment for cancer.
"I learned to make it when my mom was sick," Yearwood said. "When you're going through chemo, very specific things sound good to you to eat, and you might love them every day for two weeks and then never want them again. Brunswick stew was one of those things she went through that she really wanted."
Before her mother got sick, Yearwood had never made the complicated recipe before. With a long ingredient list — including pork, beef and chicken — and nobody to teach her how to prepare the dish (sadly, her father passed away about six years ago), she was relieved to learn that she could make the stew to taste exactly like her dad's.
Another family-centric episode of 'Trisha's Southern Kitchen' is called 'Gwen's Girls.' Named after the singer's mother, the episode features Yearwood and some of her friends preparing her mother's favorite dishes. The segment focuses on cooking her mother's favorite dishes in a healthy way. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Yearwood's mother gave up meat and dairy — a challenge for the southern cook, who uses butter and milk in almost every recipe.
Together, Yearwood and her friends fashioned a Chickless Pot Pie that is meat and dairy-free… and surprisingly completely delicious.
If the six-episode series extends to a second season, the country music star plans to focus on making healthier southern comfort food. Tune in to the Food Network today (April 14) at 10:30AM ET to see the debut episode of 'Trisha's Southern Kitchen.'

Associate degree
|It has been suggested that Foundation degree be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2015.
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009)
An associate degree is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by community colleges, junior colleges, technical colleges, bachelor's degree-granting colleges, and universities upon completion of a course of study usually lasting two years. In the United States, and some areas of Canada, an associate degree is often equivalent to the first two years of a four-year college or university degree.[1][not in citation given] In spite of high unemployment, there is high demand for people with skills that often require no more than an associate degree, such as lab technicians, midwifery, nurses, nutritionists, teachers in early-childhood programs, computer technicians, draftsmen, radiation therapists, paralegals, and machinists.[2][3]
Time requirements
An associate degree is awarded to students who complete 90 quarter credit hours or 60 semester credit hours of schooling.[4] Typically, on a full-time schedule, this requires two years to complete.
Other requirements include "general education" courses, such as English composition, algebra, social interaction, humanities, etc. Some people refer to associate degrees as "two-year" degrees because it is possible to obtain the degree in approximately that length of time. For students who place into developmental (sometimes called pre-college or remedial) courses, the time will be extended since these credits will not apply toward the associate degree.[5] Conversely, high school graduates who enter college with a high amount of transfer credits (AP, AICE, IB, CLEP) could finish the degree in less than two years. In rare circumstances, some students take one year to earn the associate degree.
Other credentials, called either a certificate or a diploma, may be awarded for specific studies that either do not meet the associate degree requirements for general education or for program length. For example, certification in a particular field of information technology may only run for four to six months and will most typically require coursework only in that subject matter, without any "Gen Ed" requirement. At 2-year colleges in the United States, more students attend part-time than full-time.[6] To accommodate part-time students, many of whom work, most US community colleges offer required courses during evening and weekend hours and increasingly, online (the Sloan Consortium reports that 51% of all degrees earned online are associate degrees.)[7]
Names of associate degrees
Data on associate degrees are frequently disaggregated by curriculum: vocational or nonvocational. The Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) counts nonvocational degrees under the category "Arts and Sciences or General Programs," and vocational degrees fall under six headings:
- Business and commerce technologies
- Data processing technologies
- Health services/paramedical technologies
- Mechanical/engineering technologies
- Natural science technologies
- Public service-related technology
Europe and Australia
The Foundation degree in the United Kingdom[8] Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) in Scotland and the Higher Certificate in the Republic of Ireland[9] can be considered European equivalents of associate degrees. These programs are mainly provided through affiliated colleges at universities.
France formerly offered the General Academic Studies Degree from 1973 until implementation of the Bologna Process between 2003 and 2006. The diplôme universitaire de technologie (Technology university degree) is a two-years degree delivered by an IUT (University Institutes of Technology).[10]
In 2004, Australia added "associate degree" to the Australian Qualifications Framework. This title was given to more academically focused advanced diploma courses. However, very few courses yet use the new title.
In the Netherlands, there were four pilots between 2005 and 2011 to assess the added value of the associate degree.[11] In 2011 the associate degree has been added to the Dutch system of higher education as a means to close the gap with the vocational education system.[12]
In the province of Ontario, a college is an educational institution which awards a 1-year certificate, 2-year diploma or a 3-year advanced diploma in technical or career programs. Universities offer 3 or 4-year bachelor's degrees, and at times partner with career colleges to offer joint diploma-degree programs. For example, the University of Toronto Scarborough and Centennial College offer a joint Diploma-Degree program in paramedicine. Students are eligible to enter these programs once they have completed an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) program at a high school, focusing their studies on college preparation. Students who wish to attend university must study a different stream of academics while obtaining their OSSD. [13]
In the province of Quebec, an associate degree is roughly equivalent to a college diploma, which is delivered by a college-level institution. Students can take two different paths to obtain a college diploma. One way consists of completing a pre-university program, which normally has a duration of two years and prepares the applicant for university-level studies. The other way consists of completing a technical or career program in a college. Normally, courses of this nature have a duration of three years and enable the student to enter the work force directly after obtaining their diploma.
Associate degrees are offered at some universities and colleges in British Columbia.
Hong Kong
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2013)
In Hong Kong, associate degrees, first introduced into the territory in 2000 with the aim to increase the number of students with post-secondary qualifications, are generally regarded as an inferior substitute to bachelor's degrees. The quality of teaching and graduates have been under doubt since it was introduced. Many degree-awarding and non-degree-awarding institutions start to offer associate degree courses following the government's encouragement; some of them are accused of over-admission for profits. Students who do not do well enough for university admission in the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE), the public examination sat by the territory's students in the final year of their secondary education, enroll in associate degree courses with the hope to obtain a place for government-funded bachelor's degree courses. As the number of university graduates continues to increase, more and more associate degree holders are finding it difficult to get employed and receive the salaries that were advertised by the government or the institutions. Although the recognition of associate degrees gradually improved in recent years, it was generally regarded as one of the worst flaws of the Hong Kong education system.
United States
In the United States, associate degrees are usually earned in two years or less and can be attained at community colleges, technical colleges, vocational schools, and some colleges. A student who completes a two-year program can earn an Associate of Arts (A.A.) or an Associate of Science (A.S.). A.A. degrees are usually earned in humanities, business, and social science fields. A.S. degrees are awarded to those studying in scientific and technical fields. Students who complete a two-year technical or vocational program can earn an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S., easily confused with the Associate of Arts and Science). They may also have the option to use the credits from the associate degree toward a bachelor's degree.[14]

Nikolai Khabibulin stumbled coming out of the tunnel from the Oilers' dressing room to start the second period before steadying himself on the bench and taking the ice.
Then the Oilers goaltender was tripped up by the Blackhawks, and the longest streak in NHL history to start a season without a regulation loss lives on at 19.
Marian Hossa scored the winner in overtime to lift the Hawks to a 3-2 victory over the Oilers on Monday night at the United Center. Patrick Kane and Viktor Stalberg had goals in regulation and Ray Emery earned the win in goal as the Hawks improved to 16-0-3 this season. Dating to last season, they have gone 25 consecutive games with at least one point.
Jeff Petry and Nail Yakupov scored for the Oilers, who kicked off a 17-day, nine-game trip with the loss.
The Oilers came out with the speed and determination they displayed last season against the Hawks when they won three of four games with a 24-15 goal advantage. Emery was tested early but came up big when he dropped to his pads to smother an attempt from the slot by Ales Hemsky.
A delay-of-game penalty on Magnus Paajarvi for flipping the puck into the stands produced offense from both sides. Edmonton got on the board while short-handed as Lennart Petrell raced into the Hawks' zone on a breakaway after defenseman Duncan Keith fell down. Emery made a strong save on Petrell's attempt, but the rebound was ripe for the picking and Petry fired it into the open net.
With time running out in the penalty, the Hawks displayed the resiliency that has been a key to their points streak as Kane worked his way into the slot and slid a backhander past Khabibulin for his 10th goal of the season and a 1-1 tie.
Later in the first, Emery kept it even when he stoned Corey Potter from in close with the Oilers on the power play.
In the second, Daniel Carcillo, who was the most physical player on the ice for both sides with booming hits throughout the game, had a chance offensively from the slot but couldn't solve Khabibulin.
Brandon Saad's second penalty of the game for the Hawks led to the Oilers' second goal. Edmonton moved the puck nicely and Sam Gagner hit an open Yakupov with a pass and the rookie unloaded a one-timer past Emery.
Stalberg pulled the Hawks even early in the third when he stuffed a shot under the pad of Khabibulin from the crease. A video review confirmed the puck crossed the line and the score was 2-2.
The close game was nothing new to the Hawks, who entered the game with a 9-0-3 mark in one-goal games.
"The whole league is close," coach Joel Quenneville said. "When you aren't playing … you're watching and it's a one-goal night and you're hoping it's not a three-point game. Everybody keeps themselves in games."

Shirley Reilly of Los Gatos finally got her gold medal Sunday on the final day of the 2012 Paralympics in London.
After earning silver and bronze medals on the track Reilly won the women's wheelchair marathon in a dramatic conclusion to the two-week spectacle. Reilly, 27, made a mad rush to the finish in the shadow of Buckingham Palace to edge three others in a time of 1 hour 46 minutes 33 seconds.
"I kept motivating myself to keep going because I was hanging on in there for a very long time," she told reporters. "It was a very tactical race, with a lot of twists and turns. It was tough."
Reilly, who lost use of her legs and partial hearing as a result of being born six weeks prematurely, edged Shelly Woods of Great Britain by a second. Bronze medalist Sandra Graf of Switzerland and Amanda McGrory of Kennett Square, Pa., were another second back.
McGrory was credited with the same time as Graf but finished just outside the podium after leading at the halfway point.
"I started out so strong and halfway through the race no one was near me," McFadden said. "Then the tire went and it took me nearly five minutes to fix it while the pack went past."
Reilly, a junior at the University of Arizona, won her third marathon of 2012, and the fourth of her career. She also got a silver medal in the 5,000 meters and a bronze in the 1,500 meters during the Paralympics.
Born in Barrow, Alaska, she moved with her family to San Jose as a toddler to get better medical care. Reilly got involved with wheelchair sports at age 8 when joining a South Bay group called Wheels on Fire. The Los Gatos High graduate competed in the 2004 and 2008 Paralympics but had never won a medal until this summer.

I've been asked often about where I get ideas from. The answer, for me, is everywhere. Every conversation, email, article, almost everything that happens in my life triggers thoughts and ideas, and as a writer, I tend to think about how I would write about things.
That took years of practice, and constant writing to develop that skill, but I've heard similar things from people that don't write daily like I do. However I do have a few ideas and thoughts.
First, anything that you do in your job can be an article. Any problem you solve, any solution you implement, they can be an article. No matter what you're working on, I can likely find a way to write it into a technical article.
Second, remember that you are teaching someone about the technology. You want to consider how you would mentor someone else about this technique. If it's anything non-trivial for a layman in your area, it can be written about.
I tend to focus more on beginner articles, and I think that's a good place for new writers to consider. Different publishers will be looking for different levels of content at any time, and they'll often let you know if your article doesn't meet their needs.
As an example, here are a few things that I've seen happen in my environments and then written about:
- Exceeding the size of a INT in an identity column from over 4B inserts.
- Moving tempdb
- Template use in Query Analyzer
- Routing issues when multi-homing a SQL Server
- Designing a simple database for a specific type of content.
Some of these are beginner, some of them are more experienced, but the topic doesn't matter. Different publishers will have different criteria for what they will publish. They will let you know, and you can work on your article based on where you will publish. SQLServerCentral will publish almost anything while MSDN will be very choosy about which topics they release.
Any problem that you have solved is likely something that plenty of other people have not. And the longer you worked on it, the less information you found on it, the more likely it's a good candidate.
The one thing I caution people against is writing general overviews. Too many people write these, and they often don't add information or knowledge to the world. We each have our own voice, but overviews are so generic that you likely won't reach different people with yours. Instead focus on a specific area and give details. Your readership will appreciate it.

I am the mother of a 9 week old boy. First time mom, first time breastfeeder. I went into my baby's 1 month well baby check with what I gathered was a normal breast feeding experience. He was eating a lot (10-14 hours a day at the breast) but I thought he was just a slow, leisurely eater. My pediatrician is also a lactation consultant and after a long Q and A session he put this together with a few other tidbits (baby is very gassy and we had just had a green poop, a little bit of irritation on his bottom as well). He concluded that I have a problem transitioning from foremilk to hindmilk and recommended that I block feed. He started me out at 4 hour blocks. I really tried but baby and I were miserable. I just couldn't satisfy him and my supply was taking a pretty big hit. I switched to 2 hour blocks. The situation seemed to improve to the point where 1 block equaled 1 feeding. He was still quite gassy though. At the 2 month check, I explained to doc that we abandoned the four hour blocks but things seemed slightly improved. Feedings were still long but a little less frequent. Baby was still gassy, but a little less so. No more green poops or irritation on his bottom. I explained that gassiness was still the number one issue as far as fussiness went. He insisted that I try block feeding again. 3 hour blocks this time. Well here I am five days in, no longer block feeding because I can't satisfy him with a single breast on any given feeding. Most feedings today he has not been satisfied after both breasts are emptied. I'm abandoning any thought of block feedings at this point and and doing the best I can to feed on demand and get my supply back up.
A few other notes...Baby burps well, does not spit up and poops 2-3 times a day. His weight gain has been a steady ounce a day. He's happy except when the gassiness is excessive. I am inclined to think that maybe his digestive system is just not firing on all cylinders yet. He might just need to grow out of this phase. Does anyone else have experience with correcting this issue with block feeding? Any other suggestions welcome. I just don't see it working for me and little guy. I just hope I haven't hurt my supply to the extent that it can't recover

The Lipscomb men's soccer team, after one of its best seasons under the leadership of Charles Morrow, has added one of its strongest recruiting classes.
The Bisons finished the year with nine wins, the most since 2010. Morrow guided his team to the semi-finals of the Atlantic Sun Championship for the fourth time in the last five years.
The Bisons received the No. 3 seed in the championship, tying for the highest seed in school history. Lipscomb swept the 2013 A-Sun Coach and Player of the Year awards. Morrow took home the distinction of the league's best coach for the first time in his career, while Omar Djabi was named Player of the Year after leading the league with nine goals on the season. The Bisons look to further their recent success by signing a group that Morrow believes can take his program to the next level.
"We feel that our 2014 class is one of the stronger classes we have ever brought in," Morrow said. "I am proud of the recruiting efforts from our coaching staff to secure the 2014 class.
"Not having lost a starting player from our A-Sun semi-final team last year, we feel the 2014 class has the potential to help our program achieve new heights. We expect several players from the 2014 class to compete for significant time and feel the class as a whole will add a quality of depth that will help our competitiveness as a team."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
An investigation into an Israeli army training accident in which four soldiers were wounded along the Syrian border last week revealed that the commander of the tank involved demonstrated extraordinary courage.
With his quick thinking and rapid intervention, Second Lieutenant Eylon Tsarfati pulled his driver from the burning tank and prevented a far more tragic outcome.
Following an explosion in the tank when loose gun powder came in contact with a burning-hot gun muzzle, Tsarfati and two of his wounded crew members were promptly evacuated by others participating in the exercise.
Tsarfati immediately noticed that his driver was missing, and, despite having suffered burns over 30 percent of his legs, the young commander rushed back into the tank and pulled his last crew member to safety.
This kind of response "despite the burns he sustained is what you would expect from an IDF commander," a senior military official told Ynet.
All four of the tank crew members remain hospitalized, two of them in serious condition. But there is little doubt that without Tsarfati's selfless intervention, the incident would have ended in the loss of life.

Greetings wonderful Doulas!
At Hypnobabies, we recommend doulas to our Hypno-Moms and we serve women with the same love and dedication that you do, respecting their individual needs and desires for birthing. We are on a mission to help the mothers who have chosen natural childbirth to have the best and safest birth experience possible, so we would like to let you know more about our excellent childbirth education program:
Hypnobabies IS:
- A complete childbirth education program including all aspects of labor and delivery, nutrition, exercise, comfort in pregnancy, staying healthy and low risk, avoiding back labor, birth empowerment, optimum fetal positioning and much more.
- A complete childbirth hypnosis program which includes pregnancy and birthing affirmations, birth visualizations, many different relaxation techniques and cues, and medical hypno-anesthesia, which greatly lessens and sometimes eliminates severe labor pain. This allows natural childbirth to be the loving, positive, empowering experience that it can be, with the most joy.
Hypnobabies DOES:
- Teach expectant couples to trust themselves, their babies and the process of childbirth fully, helping them to shed limiting misconceptions and fears.
- Provide our students with very successful tools that help them create their own birthing experience; a unique one that serves their personal needs
- Help our Hypno-Mothers to be as mobile as they would like to be, utilizing "Eyes-Open Childbirth Hypnosis", which aids greatly in the descent and positioning of their babies, as well as a more satisfying birth.
- Honor all birth choices and decisions made by each laboring mother, and encourages childbirth responsibility and empowerment.
Hypnobabies DOES NOT:
- Deny anyone the opportunity for self-discovery and growth during their birth experience; quite the opposite. In Hypnobabies, each mother finds her own strength and is encouraged to go within to find her personal power through her baby's birthing.
- Detach birthing women from their childbirth experience, in any way. Hypnobabies Mothers are as aware as they would like to be, even hyper-aware of their surroundings and fully in tune with their body and baby. They are able to communicate, remember and cherish their baby's birth.
- "Script" any mother's birth experience, in any way. Each birthing mother uses her relaxation and hypnosis resources in the manner that benefits her and her baby the most. All Hypnobabies moms have unique birthing experiences that reflect their personal needs, and create their own labor and birthing.
Thank you for the amazing work you do as doulas, and for taking the time to learn more about Hypnobabies. We encourage you to call us in our office at 1-877-554-9766 if you would like to speak with one of us personally. If you share our goals of serving and helping birthing mothers and would like to bring Hypnobabies to your community, we would also like to have you consider joining our loving, dedicated team!
Hypno-Doula Training:
Hypno-Moms have special needs! If you would like to learn more about hypno-labor-assisting – helping your clients who are using hypnosis for childbirth to have a much easier birth experience, please visit our website at www.Hypnobabies.com or contact your local Hypnobabies Instructor.

Feelings either flow naturally, like a river, or get dammed up. If our emotions become blocked, we can become tense, unhappy, anxious, or depressed. This book offers simple techniques for using art to embrace, understand, and release our emotions so that we can experience a greater sense of well-being in our lives.
In The Art of Emotional Healing, Lucia Capacchione presents the simple yet powerful methods she uses in her internationally acclaimed workshops, showing us how to reach inside and let our feelings out through drawing, painting, journal writing, collage making, sculpting, drumming, dancing, mask making, and more. No artistic talent or skill is required, only a desire to let go of self-criticism and discover how we really feel.
"Reading Capacchione's often hilarious and always delicious writing is a journey not to be missed." —HopeDance
"A very creative and helpful book." —Spirituality & Practice
"Lucia's gentle yet powerful exercises guide us in the discovery of our own inner wisdom." —Dr. Joan Borysenko, author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind
"The exciting culmination of a life's work by a pioneer in integrating the arts into the practice of psychotherapy and self-help. Lucia has recovered for all of us the ancient connection between the expressive arts and the release of our healing powers. Bravo to an artist of the soul." —David Richo, author of How to Be an Adult in Relationships and The Five Things We Cannot Change

By Alfred Opp, Vancouver, British Columbia
Edited by Connie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington
That young people would marry and have children
was the normal expectation of our ancestors in Teplitz
and Bessarabia. It was the responsibility of children
to carry on the culture and way of life. Without children
there was no hope for future prosperity of the family,
nor the benefit of having someone to care for the
needs of the parents in their old age - there was
only the prospect of an end to the family line.
Cultural life was strongly embedded within the family, and children were raised to fit the family mold. Starting from the cradle, the rigging was assembled to carry the sails that would provide a safe voyage over the waters of life. Girls were trained to become good wives and mothers. Both the mother in the home and the grandmothers were actively involved to make sure young girls developed all the skills required for their journey ahead. Boys were educated with equal attention from the family to shoulder their male role and responsibilities. Boys grew up with an understanding of what was expected of them - they were to become a good family man and provider.
Sex education was minimal. The inner secrets of reproduction were never discussed at home nor were young adults allowed to listen in on such conversations. The village Elder maintained a strong stand on moral standards, using the same reasoning and terminology that had been handed down from the past. But for details to satisfy their curiosity, young people went to strangers, servants or a confidant to have their questions answered. Since we were a farming community, there was also ample opportunity for most young people to be familiar with reproductive activities among the farm animals.
In the German colonies, women gave birth in their homes. In most cases a midwife was present to make sure the birth went well. My dad at home was not allowed to be present when my mother was giving birth. This was by strict orders from the midwife who felt that the presence of the husband would only be a distraction. On the other hand, there was never a shortage of help from the women in the family. It was the rule of the day that a "Woechnerin "(a woman who had just given birth) must spend 10 days in her "Wochenbett "(birthing bed) after giving birth, not moving a limb for the first three days. The midwife was totally in charge of the care of both mother and infant. The midwife set the schedule as to when the baby should be nursed, bathed or diapers changed. At least one other family member who was an experienced mother herself was always on hand to assist. My mother had purchased "Schmeckseife "(a bar of special soap that smelled like roses) to be used to bath me. This was a special treat, as such soap was a luxury item.
After a successful birth, the grandmothers of the infant provided the midwife with a rewarding treat that included real coffee and often specialty baked goods. The birth of a child was anticipated with mixed feelings. While the family welcomed the arrival of a new baby, they were well aware of the many tragic complications that could take the life of both mother and infant. Serving as a midwife carried heavy responsibilities and had its anxious moments. A successful birth resulted in a celebration, while a failure resulted in a funeral. When successful, the midwife was treated like royalty; if the child died, the midwife carried the infant during the funeral procession to the cemetery.
It was customary for relatives in the village to stop by to see the mother and baby. Much attention was focused on the baby. People were especially curious to see whom the baby looks like, what family features the baby showed. Along with the visitors came food dishes of a finer variety. Dishes such as stuffed pigeon, nourishing soups, or sweet rice and raisins were common gifts. A favorite dessert for such occasions was "Schneeballa," a dish of fluffy whipped egg whites served in a tasty sauce made from egg yolks, milk and sugar. These dishes were attractively presented to the new mother in a special embroidered cloth spread ("Tuch" ) that was tied up by the corners into a slip-knot to carry the dish.
My birth was typical for the culture and times. I was my mother's first-born child and my "Oma" Zacher made sure there was a second midwife standing by who had the experience to handle any emergency situation. As a newborn, I slept with my mother for three days before being placed in the cradle that stood next to my mother's bed. Baby clothes were presented to my mother by many family members and close friends of the family. These items were hand-made by the women who went all out to make these baby garments look pretty. Diapers, little shirts, booties and hoods were nicely embroidered in colors to go with a boy or a girl. Pillows and covers were hand-decorated with both lace and embroidery. Diapers were made of a flannel material that was easy to wash. To keep diapers from leaking, Mom used a red rubber sheet called "Glonka" between the layers of diapers.
Breast-feeding was of primary importance. If the mother was unable to breast-feed or if the baby could not nurse satisfactorily due to a health problem, a substitute method had to be found. This was when the mother turned to a wet-nurse or purchased a bottle to feed the baby. When I was four months old, when my mother tried to feed me I would turn my head away and cry inconsolably. Again and again my mother urged me to her breasts, but I would not cooperate. This went on all night, until I fell asleep from exhaustion. Mom was at a loss to know what to do. She couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. My "Oma" Opp stopped by the next morning to see my mother, and Mom told "Oma" that I must be sick, since I was refusing to eat. "Oma" Opp knew right away what she needed to do. She told Mom that I was fine - I was just hungry! How could that be? My mother was surprised. "Oma" Opp went to work heating up some milk and browning a bit of flour. This she added to the warm milk along with a bit of sugar. "Oma" had used this formula on her babies, and now she used it on me. She sat down on a chair and took me on her lap to feed me. First she put a spoonful of formula in her mouth until it was the perfect temperature, then she put the formula back into the spoon and into my mouth. I ate well and soon was so full that I fell into a long, deep sleep.
For me, learning to walk came naturally. Learning to talk was a different matter. Mom used a lot of baby-talk with me, trying to get me to talk: da-da-da; babala; tu-tu-tu. Nothing seemed to work. "Oma" soon had heard enough and scolded Mom for not doing a better job teaching me. Then my" Oma" Zacher began her method of speech therapy on me. "Oma" went to work to teach me using my name, saying "Alfred, Alfredle" or "Alfredche. "Then she simplified it even more, repeating "Alfred, Afed, Afredsche." In the end I said "Fredsche" and that name stuck with me for a long time.
Once children started to walk, they no longer wore diapers. What came out went down one leg or the other. My mother would time me and take me to the outhouse to prevent accidents. If she missed the timing, I learned the result. I can honestly say that it didn't take me long to learn to keep my pants dry.
Children learned very young what behavior was acceptable and what was not. Parents didn't stop to ask questions about why the child misbehaved. Disobedience was handled with a rod quickly and on the spot. We early learned what was coming our way if we ended up on the wrong side of the "law. "The result was the same whether at home or at school. From a very young age, children accompanied their parents wherever they went, with few exceptions. As young children, we learned to socialize, to behave, and to be part of the communal life. We learned to respect our parents, and they taught us to be honest, God-fearing and loyal. Obedience and hard work were the order of the day - to be otherwise one could not exist.
As a teenager, my mother never received advice on feminine well-being - only warnings to "behave." However, Mom was fortunate to receive a "Doktor Buch" - a medical journal - from her parents. How much she educated herself on human health issues, I cannot say. Mom didn't pass any of her intimate information on to me either. What my mother did for me was unusual and especially emotional to me: the day I left for America she gave me a condom. I was 25 years old when I said farewell to my family. It was a very emotional moment for me. Leaving my mother behind was especially difficult. It seemed to both of us that this might be the parting with no return. I was so touched by what Mother did. Her care and devotion left me standing there in tears. Her love at that moment reached an all-time high with me, knowing that she wanted me to be protected and safe.
Years later, in Canada, Mom was more open about her growing-up experiences and life in Teplitz. Yet she and I never talked about the gift she gave me. I was fully aware of her sense of duty that she
carried out with such dignity. God bless you, Mom.
