As we cruise into day four at the Cannes Film Festvial, celebrity glamour shows no signs of slowing. On par with festivals past, this season's stylish set kicked off the glamour Gatsby-style with the film's premiere on day one, and continued to wow with every subsequent premiere and party. Case in point: today's Jimmy P.: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian premiere, where Doutzen Kroes wowed in white-hot Calvin Klein, Eva Longoria chose an ethereal mint-green gown, and Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in ultrachic black and white. Don't just take our word for it: click through to see every jaw-dropping appearance — and stay tuned for all the red carpet action right here.
The Stars Show Off Their Courtside Style For the NBA Playoffs
The NBA playoffs are underway, but you don't have to be a basketball fanatic to appreciate all the amazing celebrity sideline style. And while a sporting event may not be the first place we would rock five-inch heels, it certainly works for the likes of Beyoncé and Victoria Beckham. Meanwhile, Olivia Wilde opted to show her New York Knicks pride by wearing the team's colors: blue and orange. From coast to coast, fashionable stars have stepped out in cool ensembles to cheer on the LA Lakers and Brooklyn Nets, too — and we're highlighting some of our favorite courtside looks. Click through now to see them all now!
Say "Fromage!" Stars Bring Their Style A-Game to Cannes Photocalls
The 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival is underway with the help of our favorite A-listers who aren't afraid to show off their style or beauty chops. With every sunny (and even not-so-sunny) photocall in the French Riviera, we're highlighting the chic daytime ensembles the stars wear before they hit the red carpet — just check out Nicole Kidman looking fresh while boarding a yacht, Emma Watson in dainty lace, and Jennifer Lawrence posing for the latest installment of The Hunger Games in black Dior. Then click through to see stars doing what they do best: showing off their perfectly chic daytime outfits for the cameras.
Salma Hayek's Peplum Dress Has "Night Out" Written All Over It
Salma Hayek totally fit the part of fine-art patron, wearing a chic Bottega Veneta peplum dress to an event at Christie's in NYC. Her dress caught our eye first, but the power of great accessories really helped bring Salma's look to life. How did she do it? The actress jazzed up her neckline with a jeweled bib necklace, then added a metallic-purple woven Bottega Veneta clutch and metallic-gray peep-toe pumps for further shine. With Spring weather allowing for more skin-revealing styles come evening, we think this is the perfect example of night-out polish without too much effort. Start with an equally sleek peplum dress — here's one we love by Winter Kate ($155) — and just pile on the right accessories. Easy enough, right? Shop our editors' picks below.
Over a Decade of Kate Bosworth's Effortlessly Cool Style
While Kate Bosworth is fascinating to watch for her talents on screen — her latest film Black Rock hit theaters yesterday — it's her offscreen expertise as a red-carpet beauty, street-chic queen, and jewelry maven that has us under a major style spell. By mixing up Isabel Marant, her own JewelMint pieces, Proenza Schouler, Burberry, and Calvin Klein (to name a few), Kate has proven her undeniable knack for putting together laid-back, impossibly cool ensembles with enviable ease. Case in point: her cutoffs and American flag tee at Coachella two years ago incited a near-overnight fashion craze and a siege of street-style copycats. We could go on and on about how she gets it so right, but we'd rather just see her envy-inducing outfits for ourselves. Click through to get a healthy dose of inspiration now.

Cannes Glam — and Beyond! — in This Week's Top 10
While the Cannes festivities upped the glamour quotient on this week's celebrity set, there's plenty more in the way of red carpet styling fodder from a crew we didn't see in the French Riviera. Olivia Wilde kicked off the week with the most elegant kind of Summer dressing in Morocco, while Zoe Saldana continued her very chic Star Trek tour stateside, and Coco Rocha showed off some high-wattage eventwear at the American Ballet Spring Gala. For a glimpse of those and more of this week's standouts, just start clicking.
Are Beyoncé's Tour Costumes Revealing Any Pregnancy News?
As if the excitement of Beyoncé's Mrs. Carter Show world tour wasn't enough, E! Online is reporting that the singer is pregnant with her second child. The news comes just days after Beyoncé canceled a show in Belgium, and we can't help but wonder: with a closer look at her tour wardrobe, could we have guessed it? Pregnancy rumors aside, the singer has not disappointed in sequins, leotards, curve-hugging jumpsuits, baseball caps, and sheer details, courtesy of custom designs from Emilio Pucci and Kenzo. While we wait for official confirmation from Mrs. Carter herself, take a look at her best stage-style moments thus far.

Take Emma Watson's LWD as a Reminder to Simplify Your Weekend Style
Our weekend motto to slow down and take it easy certainly applies to our wardrobes, too. Borrowing from Emma Watson's effortless travel style, we're putting that philosophy into practice with a figure-flattering, fit-and-flare white dress, like Emma's A.L.C. version, that's brunch- or even cocktail-appropriate with the right accompaniments (read: a great all-occasion investment piece). But for a low-key day, you don't have to add much — just stick to Emma's flirty-gone-tough-girl styling formula and add in ankle boots, your go-to shades, and a hands-free crossbody bag. Simple, right?
Shop clockwise from top: Rag & Bone white Niki flare dress ($570), Rebecca Minkoff Craig crossbody camera bag ($195), Steve Madden double-buckle cutout ankle boot ($130), Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Sunglasses ($150)
Introducing the Most Stylish Cannes Juror, Nicole Kidman
As a juror at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Nicole Kidman has official duties that include viewing films and helping to select the eventual top dogs. Unofficially? Looking good. We're keeping an eye on the Aussie's style to see what sort of moments she has up her sleeve.
20 Celeb Pieces to Score on Sale (and How to Wear Them Now)
We can't deny a good sale, and it's no secret that we love adding celebrity pieces to our wardrobes. Put them together, and you have a total win-win scenario. That being said, we've found 20 "seen on celebrities" pieces on sale, and now's the time to snag them for yourself! We're talking about Rihanna's black Siwy denim cutoffs, Alessandra Ambrosio's hot-pink Topshop sweater, Reese Witherspoon's two-toned 3.1 Phillip Lim pumps, and Julianne Hough's Madewell floral jeans. But wait, there's more, so just keep clicking.

I dont know why, nor my doctor can explain that (but he stressed that it is quite a common problem actually, it's just the medical science has reached a conclusion yet). If I can improve my eye-sight I would definitely apply again. How I long for being a cop.

High school graduates who have enrolled at a college or university are considered transfer students. Students can transfer at any time - but to be based on the merits of transfer coursework alone, a student must have completed two semesters of full-time study (approximately 24 credits) at the time of application.
Students who have less than 24 credits will be asked to provide a high school transcript or SOAR and SAT/ACT scores, and must also meet both transfer and freshman admission requirements. For more information, view SUNY Plattsburgh Freshman admission requirements.
The top factors used for considering admission at SUNY Plattsburgh are (in order of relative importance):
Some programs at SUNY Plattsburgh have special requirements for admission. These include:
The SUNY Plattsburgh Branch Campus in Queensbury, NY offers four undergraduate programs: Business Administration, Childhood Education, Criminal Justice, and Psychology. As degree-completion programs, students must enter the program with certain prerequisites completed. Read more about Branch Campus Programs.
The SUNY Plattsburgh Extension Site at Hudson Valley offers a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. As a degree-completion program, students must enter the program with certain prerequisites completed. Read more about the Hudson Valley Extension Site Program in Criminal Justice.
Students who wish to enroll in the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) are required to submit the EOP Transfer Verification Form in addition to the other documentation required for general transfer admission. Please note: space in the EOP Program is limited and is generally reserved for students who were previously enrolled in an EOP, HEOP, SEEK, or College Discovery Program.
Admission to the traditional nursing program is highly competitive, with the number of applicants far exceeding the capacity of the program. Learn more about admission to the traditional nursing program.
SUNY Plattsburgh's Online BS in Nursing is designed for Registered Nurses who have completed an associate's degree or diploma program in nursing. Learn more about admission to the RN-to-BS Online Nursing Program.
The Social Work Program at SUNY Plattsburgh requires that transfer students complete an essay and reference letter to gain admission. Download the Social Work Application Form.
As mentioned above, a 2.30 GPA is recommended for admission to most programs. However, some have a higher GPA requirement. These include:
The admission review takes into account the student's entire profile. Other factors of consideration include:
The Admissions Office is located on the 10th floor of the Kehoe Building.

Awards of up to $7,000 for International Research and/or Training
Application deadline: March 31, 2006 9:00 pm EST

This collaboration will provide valuable insights on the viability of the proposed dissertation project, and on its relevance, salience and reception in the region of study. PFIC will also provide fellows with a network of professional contacts in preparation for future dissertation field work, equally emphasizing regional knowledge and approaches, alongside the training provided by the fellow's home university and primary advisor.

New Additions to the Osborne Lights at Disneys Hollywood Studios
A favourite Holiday tradition for Guests visitng Walt Disney World is a visit to The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disneys Hollywood Studios.
The team behind The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights keeps looking for new ways to plus the show. This year, Santa Goofy joins the fun, making nightly appearances on the Streets of America. Youll be able to meet him in Goofys Winter Wonderland, a special area set up right in Tri-City Square.
This artist's impression give you an idea of what you will see:
Also new is the addition of an eighth song for the dancing lights. Joining returning favorites like Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano and Barbara Streisands version of Jingle Bells will be a special arrangement of the classic Winter Wonderland by Creative Entertainment Music Director Dan Stamper.
As we talked about adding a new piece, we wanted to add something lyric and flowing, said Dan. To me, the title Winter Wonderland meant a time of transformation from hustle and bustle to an elegant beauty. In my mind were images of billowing marshmallow landscapes; where in the city, even the starkest, dark industrial buildings become a thing of beauty with snowcaps and gleaming icicles. The piece grows to a crescendo and then slowly fades as families gather together in their homes to escape the chill.
Get ready to be dazzled by The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights from the 9th November to the 6th January.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Mrs. Amy Sulewski Computers 1 & 2 Plus Advanced Biology & Yearbook |
Welcome to my classroom pages! I am so delighted that you have stopped to take a look. Please check back here often as I hope to use this tool quite a few times this year. I will soon have links to individual class webpages for students and parents to access! Just a little about myself, this is my 6th year at Flat Rock Community High School. I grew-up on Grosse Ile and graduated in 1995. I went on to earn a Bachelor's of Arts in Business from Michigan State University. After working in industry for a number of years I went back for my MBA only to discover that wasn't where my real desires had me. So I took a deep look at myself and what I enjoyed doing and realized that teaching would be a great opportunity. I earned my teaching certificate in 2005 and my Masters of Arts in Teaching in 2007. I love what I do and I am so happy that I had the support of my family as I made the transition. I currently live in Flat Rock with my husband, Chris, and my daughter, Rylie, who is 3 and my son, Christopher, who is 7 months old. I look forward to what the 2010/2011 school year brings and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me! Thanks, Amy Sulewski |

Simple, straightforward and low shipping rates for these shower heads.
Q. "Do you sell any showerheads that completely shut off water flow?"
A. No, and we are not aware of any showerheads that have the ability to completely stop water flow. With your shower valve still open and the showerhead completely closed, it is possible for hot water to force itself into the cold water line. Once the showerhead is opened again, only hot water flows for a moment, creating a risk of scalding. Showerheads are normally manufactured to dribble a small amount and prevent this from occurring.
Q. "Does the showerhead I ordered swivel, or do I need an additional part for it to do so?"
A. It is rare for a showerhead not to have a swivel feature unless its position adjustment is in the shower arm or it is a "flat" model that is meant to be installed parallel to the floor. With the exception of those mentioned, some industrial models and most handshowers, standard-style showerheads generally come with a built-in swivel feature.
We hope that we have helped you on this page with clawfoot shower heads,
and thank you for helping to make PlumbingSupply.com® the most famous Internet plumbing supplier.

Raphael Derome
"I like to ride with people who are passionnate about freeriding. There's nothing better than riding with a good crew behind my MXZ at sunset when it's glassy. Watching new styles that progress the sport in a positive way is what motivates me."
This French Canadian's meteoric rise in 2012 was nothing short of phenomenal. Taking the overall title at the inaugural Red Bull Wake Open was one of the best achievements in all of wakeboarding history. The event consisted of boat riding, wake park and a big air kicker contest, where Raph took 3rd, 1st and 1st respectively. While touring the world, scoring two magazine covers and producing an insane web video, Raph went on to win "Best Wakeboarder" at the TransWorld Wake Awards as well as Alliance's Rider Of The Year. His 2012 season goes down as one of the best ever and definitely the most diverse. At home in Canada, Raph rides with his brother Olivier behind their WAKESETTER 22 MXZ.

1) What day of the week were you born? Tell us how you found out.
Thursday, November 13, 1958.
I was told it was a Thursday by my maternal grandmother, who always recited the little rhyme for me...
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day

As I got older, I asked her if that meant I was going to move to some exotic locale.
She said no, what it meant was I would be hugely successful, if I could get around all the pitfalls along the way.

Fall fishing has positives to go with its challenges
For just a couple of hours this last Sunday, I had an open window of time. Schedule clear, house somewhat clean, no major deadlines or projects due. I grabbed the boys and said, "Let's go fishing."
They hopped to it and excitedly packed the boat with all the possible things we might need. Not need in terms of tackle, but in terms of snacks.
This was the first serious outing we were going to have in the new boat. I was excited, they were excited, and the expectations were high. One problem, though — it was right in the middle of fall fishing. Seeming to sense this, the boys asked if the fishing was going to be any good or not.

Happy Customer
By Wardbar
from Villanova, PA
I went to a dozen stores and a half dozen sites on the net looking for the right desk. It had to be traditional, 40 inches or less in width, and have some drawers and preferably in a dark stain of oak or maple. I found nothing faintly like what I wanted until I came to Cymax. Their desk was even cooler than what I had dreamed. [...] easy to assemble, and perfect for it's intended purpose.

We know that investing in customer service is good for business and can positively impact your revenue. However, building a business case for customer service investments is challenging, as you must understand the benefits and associated costs of the investments.
For some customer service technologies, such as workforce management, email, and chat, the business benefits are very clear. For other customer service technologies, such as social customer service or knowledge management, the business benefits are more difficult to precisely quantify. Yet in all cases, business benefits fall into one of three categories: reducing operational costs, improving productivity, or enhancing the customer experience. Examples include:
Technology |
Business benefit |
Reducing operational costs by… |
Improving agent productivity by… |
Increasing customer satisfaction by… |
Chat |
- Resolving customer issues with shorter average speeds to answer (ASA) - Reducing the average interaction cost Reducing re-contact rates |
- Increasing the number of concurrent chat sessions that agents handle, compared with phone interactions |
- Engaging customers on channels that they want to use - Recovering customers before they abandon a transaction - Educating customers on appropriate products or services |
Knowledge management |
- Deflecting contacts from the contact center - Reducing non-compliance penalties due to standardized answers - Decreasing agent training times -Reducing costs of on-site support |
- Empowering agents with standardized answers for faster resolution times -Improving content findability rates -Proactively pushing contextual content to the agent's desktop -Reducing errors causing rework |
-Providing customers with accurate, relevant, and complete answers - Increasing the availability of self-service content - Reducing the customer effort score |
Proactive notification |
-Deflecting contacts from the contact center -Reducing telecom charges -Increasing automation (e.g., for collection services) |
-Empowering agents with contextual alerts and notifications |
-Communicating to customers timely and time-sensitive information -Delivering information using customer communication preferences |
Be pragmatic about calculating costs, and focus on the investment required to bring this new initiative, application, or technology online as compared with the cost of maintaining the current environment. Types of costs to consider include:
To read more about creating a comprehensive business case for your customer service projects, see my latest Forrester report.
I agree with the challenges of creating a business case for Customer Service especially in the areas Kate mentioned. In the long run Customer Service plays a very critical role in sustaining and growing any business. Reduction in Service Intensity helps in reducing the call volumes which intern saves good amount of operational costs for the enterprises. Generally the Integration programs are long duration programs with lot of funding required. Another way to manage such transformations is by having a solution which is impactful in increasing agent productivity with minimum change management by this I mean a non-intrusive way of integration and enhancing the information required by the agents.
Great blog Kate - and so on target. We find that the best implementations start with the business case. What business benefit do you expect to achieve? We also find that agent productivity and operational cost reductions go hand-in-hand. Best of all worlds when you can combine those benefits with increases in customer satisfaction. In the past, it was either-or - lower cost would equal lower sat. Happily that is no longer the case. I've already shared your blog on LinkedIn. Cheers!
And its always great to hear from you!
I see many pragmatic customer service investments instead of transformational projects this year and next, and it all starts with a solid business case.
I appreciate how you broke the business benefits into three basic categories. Finding a way to quantify some of those benefits would be challenging next step in developing a business case. I plan on adding your blog to my watch list.
How about an additional soft benefit like:
- Superior perception about the brand, elevating competitiveness

Legislation filed in aftermath of John Burbine arrest aims to fix weaknesses in the state's sex offender registry system.
Local lawmakers and Wakefield's chief of police were among those calling for changes to the state's sex offender laws during a Tuesday hearing at the State House. State Sen. Katherine Clark, who represents Winchester, chaired the Joint Committee on the Judiciary hearing, focused on a bill she and State Rep. Paul Brodeur (D-Melrose) are sponsoring. The legislation aims to address weaknesses in the sex offender registry system that were brought to light by the John Burbine child sex abuse case. Burbine allegedly sexually abused children in the Winchester region. Wakefield Police Chief Rick Smith testified at the hearing and was quoted in a Boston Herald report talking about how last summer a parent came to the station asking for information …

This past Saturday morning we kicked off our first Men's Group of the year. We've done things like this in the past, but we really feel like there is a clear direction from the Lord with this latest one. Myself and one of the elders, Kevin Vaughan, are heading up the group, and treating it as a sort of "Man School". Our intention is to steep the men in the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and let the Holy Spirit use us to get to the heart of the matter with the men in our church.
We are breaking things down into short series', usually less than 6 weeks long. Our first series is called, "The Reason for Man". We took the idea from the first question of Westminster Shorter Catechism, which asks, "What is the chief end of man?", then it answers, "The chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever." After a great men's retreat the weekend before where we looked at worship and idolatry through the lense of Romans 12, we felt like this was a great place to start with our men.
So many men today, especially in the church, don't have a clear reason for their existence. If asked about their reason for being, they would probably each answer with something a little different, and "God" probably wouldn't be in the majority of the answers. It is our desire to point our men to the truth of their existence as found in scripture, and see them changed by the grace of God.

Overview of Union City
With dogwood tree-lined boulevards and distinctive Southern charm, Union City is one of Georgia's most sought-after communities. Just 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta but still maintaining the small-town atmosphere that is attractive to families, residents here love having all of the amenities of a city close by, but still remain tied into a tight-knit community. Excellent schools, a high quality of life and a pro-business way of life are just some of the reasons that many Georgia residents are giving Union City apartments for rent a second look. According to information from City-Data, the city has a cost of living index that is more than 5 points below the national average, making Union City a very affordable place to live.
Living in Union City, GA
Union City saw its beginnings during the turn of the 20th century, when Atlanta's city limits started to sprawl. It began as a residential development plan from two wealthy businessmen, Drewry Arthur Carmical and Charles Simon Barrett. Barrett, the then-newly elected president of the National Farmers Union, was looking for a new headquarters and found it just southwest of Atlanta, hence the name of Union City. It has doubled its land mass since its founding, showing that it is a community that many people want to be a part of. According to City-Data, the case is still true today. From 2000 to 2010, the city saw a whopping 67 percent jolt in population due to everything that the city has to offer to its residents. Based on a 2011 estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau, the city is home to more than 20,000 residents, indicating that this quaint small town has nowhere to go but up.
Union City Attractions and Special Events
Union City is home to many nearby attractions, including the Georgia Aquarium, the Fern Museum and the High Museum of Art. However, the city is best known for its close proximity to the Georgia Dome, home to the Atlanta Falcons NFL football team - a great venue for getting into the fun and excitement of the community.

New Christmas greeting cards | New Christmas gifts | New Year greeting cards | Firt Christmas
Christmas is the main Christian celebration event and is celebrate as birth of Jesus and its celebration spreads happiness. The word Christmas comes from the Greek word Crises messes, or "Christ's Mass." In 336 A.D. the first celebration of Christmas was held in Rome. In many parts of the country Christmas is one of the chief event of the year and is celebrate with great joy and happiness. The day of Christmas is an important day on the religious calendar. The various govt. like federal government, all state governments, and all institutes like schools/colleges/universities and the huge mass of businesses in America give employees one or two days off at Christmas, in order to make Christmas an important holiday. Although there are many other federal holidays like: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, but Christmas is one of six sacred feast days in the Roman Catholic calendar, celebrated in America, the others being: Circumcision (New Year's Day), Ascension, Assumption (Mary's assumption into heaven, August 15), All Saints (November 1), and the Immaculate Conception (December 8). Saturnalia (worship of sun), which means the celebration of Sun and this festival was known by the name Saturnalia and its beginning was the middle of December and ending was the January 1st. Visiting friends, arrangement of large amount of festive meals, masquerades in the streets, celebrated this festival and the exchange of good-luck gifts called Sterna (lucky fruits). The Romans decorated their halls with garlands of laurel and green trees, which look pleasure by the litting candles, and now it is known as Christmas tree. A very special practice was followed on this occasion was that the masters become slaves and slaves become their masters. This practice created equality among one another and made everyone independent to work and live. Although the Romans celebrate their festival Jo Saturnalia!" with a great joy and fun to honor the pagan god but the early Christians wanted to celebrate the birthday of Christ solemnly simply a religious holiday, not like the Romans and this resolution was made in 137 AD by the Bishop of Rome. But when Christianity reached at its peak the Christians started to celebrate Christmas with joy and happiness. Their was no any criteria to celebrate the birthday of Christ because no one knows the exact day and date birth of Christ It has been stated in history that Christ's birthday has been celebrated since98 A.D. Eventually another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, chose December 25th as the ceremony of Christmas in 350 A.D. Foremost the Church prohibited to celebrate in this manner but there was no advantage to ban this celebration. At the long run a resolution was made that the festival will be celebrated in that way that will suit to the Christian Son of God. If we take a look at the mythology it is asserted that the "Christmas" celebration was the way of responding of Christians against the pagan celebrations of December. The beginning of Gospel Luke starts by telling that story in which it is discussed that an angel make Mary learn that she is with the child only with the help of the Holy Spirit. By this story Mary concluded that she is a virgin and the angel responds, "If God is with us nothing is here in the world which shall be impossible." After few days thereafter, Mary and her husband Joseph leave for Joseph's ancestral home from their home in Nazareth by traveling about 150 kilometers. Emperor Augustus ordered for a census in Bethlehem, in order to register. When they reached at the inns, no room was available their hence they lodge in a stable. And their Mary gives birth to Jesus. An angel tells the shepherds in the field "tidings of joy." A heavenly host announced, "Glory to God in the uppermost, and on earth peace on all who are living

- Meeting my Running Idol... At long last I FINALLY get to formally (as opposed to screaming at him as he ran past me while I spectated CM10 last year) meet my running idol, The Running Laminator. We're meeting up for lunch tomorrow after I arrive and I can't wait to pick his brain about all things running and basically just soak up some of his awesomeness. (Maybe it'll heal my leg?)I like to think my spectating helped him score his sub-3 marathon that day!
- High Line Park... I have been green eyeing all you NYC blogger's that regularly run this park and finally, at long last, I will get to see it myself! I'm MAJORLY disappointed I will not get to run this, or any place in NYC for that matter (Central Park I'll be back for you someday!), but thankful at the very least to be able take a stroll there and see the city from it's height. Prepare for ungodly amounts of pics...
- The Guggenheim... Plans for Sunday got a bit discombobulated so I've found myself with time to kill alone before I catch my plane and have decided to spend it perusing the Guggenheim. My museum nerdery runs deep and I can't wait to get lost there.T-minus 25.5 hours til I land!!! T-minus 28.5 hours til the rest of the girls start pouring in and then we take NYC by storm!!! Can't wait to explore the city, binge on local awesomesauce eats, drink my face off (you know like 2 whole drinks), and hang out with some amazing peeps!

That park looks sweet!!!
Be careful in the Guggenheim, when I went there for a trip with my family, I went in the bathroom and went out the door that looked exactly like the one I came in and ended up getting lost for like an hour. There is no PA system in the museum, so I had to just eventually find the entrance. - 8/25/11, 8:24 AM

If you have time, you need to eat brunch at Friend of a Farmer. We went to NYC earlier this month and had brunch there. There was a line, but they make sure you arent out there too long. But any wait was totally worth it. It was so so so so good. When I go back I am eating there again.
We didnt get to eat here bc of time constraints but Eatly had really high reviews. We went inside and it was a HUGE Italian market. They had pasta, fish, meat, cheese, gelato, chocolate and a nice rooftop bar. If you do go, you may want to figure out how to navigate it before going. It was kind of confusing!
Have an awesome time! - 8/25/11, 8:28 AM

When you're at high line park- there's a row of benches that overlook the street. Sit there for a while it is SO relaxing and cool. (also, if you have a clear day, you'll be able to see the statue of liberty when you are walking south.) Also get yourself an H&H bagel. They are delicious.

we went to NYC last summer. So much to see/do! Have fun!

How exciting! I've been to NYC but can't offer much advice on what to do/see. Enjoy yourself.

Yay for NYC and meeting the LAM!
I've been there briefly after a Bermuda cruise and went through Central Park, alas I was not yet 'a runner'. There'a a chance I'll be back in November. Fingers crossed.
Have a great trip! - 8/25/11, 9:19 AM

I love the food and atmosphere of this place, plus live jazz at night: http://www.garagerest.com/
This place (in west 4, never been to the other one) is a hole in the wall but has the best falafel I've ever tasted: http://mamouns.com/
And this french toast is AMAZING: http://www.frankiesspuntino.com/17/17_brunch.html
(Lived in the NYC area for 7 years between college and work -- in the same Trump Tower from the Apprentice, fun times!)
As for sightseeing, if you're planning on going to the Empire State building, GO SUPER EARLY when it first opens, otherwise it can easily be 2 hours in line. And unless you're there for a week, it's not worth visiting the Statue of Liberty, too much wasted time. Go to Battery Park, where you can see it from a distance.
And there's a bunch of shops on Broadway, in SoHo with cheap clothes (those "in style clothes that are in now but you don't want to spend a fortune to buy them"). Amsterdam Boutique is the only one I remember the name, but they're all within a couple of blocks of each other.
And don't forget the HUGE H&M on 5th Avenue (near 50th street, I never remember exactly where it is, but a couple of blocks from Rockefeller Center). - 8/25/11, 9:21 AM

I lived in NYC for a while, that museum was closed when I lived there for renovations.. Enjoy it!!!!

I was really underwhelmed with NYC, and I didn't really enjoy it too much. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I went, and I'm glad I went alone so I could do exactly what I wanted, but it was a hard city for me to enjoy, in general.
Some things I did like, though:
-Went to a concert on a boat in the Harbor. I would suggest some sort of boat riding.
-Loved the American Museum of Natural History. I had been wanting to see a real life Archaeopteryx fossil since the 3rd grade, and I probably stood and looked at just them for an hour.
-Got chills just being in CBGB, but it's gone, so the only other really cool music landmark that I remember is the John Lennon memorial in Central Park. Went to a couple other music clubs, but they were the same type of dingy bars as anywhere else.
-I spent about 2 hours just sitting and watching the Red-Tail Hawks around Central Park. I didn't realize they were semi-famous until I got back home.
-I also really liked the game I went to at Shea Stadium for as much as it got made fun of over the years. Of course I'm sure its replacement, Citi Field, is much nicer, but Citi Field didn't ever have the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Miles Davis, or Grand Funk play there. - 8/25/11, 10:00 AM

There is no part of NYC you shouldn't go b/c it is all awesome but let me say this:
1- if you can go to Arthur Ave in the Bronx for Italian eats. Forget Little Italy in Manhattan as it is no longer what it used to be and AAve is the place.
2- Go to Otto on the East Side. It is Mario Batali's pizza joint and is incredibly awesome.
3- Be sure to head to the Wall Street area and just soak in the vibe that is that area (especially during a week day like Friday.)
4- Columbus Circle is a ton of fun to walk around and shop and see Central Park as well.
I miss NYC tons. Have a great time and can't wait to see the pics. - 8/25/11, 10:34 AM

- Layla said...
How funny: A few days ago, I came across the High Line Park site and got so excited about it. I'll be in New York in November, so I've been looking forward to that. I haven't been to the Guggenheim, so I can't wait to hear how that goes! The Met is cool and HUGE, if you want an overwhelming museum. And I'm a bit of a Broadway nut, so I have to go see at least one show when I'm there -- the TKTS booths save money!
I'm also looking foward to pommes frites -- very yummy French fries that you dip in flavored mayonnaise. I know it sounds disgusting, but OMG, so good!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE NYC! I live close enough that I make sure there's at least one trip/year. High Line Park is on my list of places to go next.
Favorites there--MOMA (haven't hit Gug. yet but tell us how it is!); running CP (you will do it one day); people watching on Upper East Side; and my favorite restaurant of all time--Balthazar in Soho. Have a blast!! - 8/25/11, 2:18 PM

The National

The high line park is really fun to walk. Probably better than running anyway to enjoy the scenery. Enjoy!

I see you had to cancel your trip because of Irene. Understandable. I hope when you're able to reschedule, you'll be able to run again. I miss NY so much. I used to work close to the Brooklyn Bridge and runs over the bridge during my lunch hour were one of my favorite things. Honestly, IMHO, even better than running Central Park, which I've done as well.
So much to see and do! Shopping, food, people watching, museums. I'm more of a Brooklyn girl at heart, so don't forget the outer boroughs! Especially for food!

The machine detects within a millisecond what shape the person's hand is about to make, then pre-empts it with the winning move.
Metro reports that engineers at the Ishikawa Okulab hope that the technology can be used for motion support.
Scientists from the university explained: "Recognition of a human hand can be performed at 1ms with a high-speed vision, and the position and the shape of the human hand are recognized. The wrist joint angle of the robot hand is controlled based on the position of the human hand. The vision recognises one of rock, paper and scissors based on the shape of the human hand.
"After that, the robot hand plays one of rock, paper and scissors so as to beat the human being in 1ms.
"This technology is one example that shows a possibility of cooperation control within a few miliseconds - this technology can be applied to motion support of human beings and cooperation work between human beings and robots etc, without time delay."
Watch the technology in action below:

Defective Product
What types of defective products are involved in product liability lawsuits?
Product liability suits involve automobile defects, tire defects, unsafe toys, infant products and furniture, defective refinery equipment, unsafe manufacturing equipment, defective drugs, defective aviation or train parts and defective safety equipment among others.
What determines whether or not a product is defective?
An attorney representing an injured client in a product liability claim must show that the product in question has a significant manufacturing or design defect and that the defect directly led to the client's injury. An attorney may also show that the manufacturer knew of the defect and ignored his or her duty to warn consumers of the product's dangers.
Does the presence of a warning allow the manufacturer to escape liability for an injury caused by a defect?
If there is a warning intended to deter the user from using the product in an unintended manner, and the injury occurred due to the user's failure to follow this warning, the manufacturer will probably not be liable for the resulting injuries. If, however, the user was injured while using the product as intended, the warning does not protect the manufacturer from liability. A warning also does not protect manufacturers from liability if the defect should have been foreseeable.
Who may become a defendant in a California product liability case?
Depending on the nature of the defect, you may target the manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or any other party involved in getting the defective product to the public.
Is my claim still valid if the injury occurred from misuse?
Even if the injury was caused while using the product in a manner inconsistent with its purpose, you may have a valid product liability claim. If it is determined by the court that this misuse was foreseeable, and the manufacturer failed to address it in a warning or through redesign, they may be held liable for your injuries.
Dangerous Drugs
What should I do if I am currently taking a medication receiving negative press?
First talk to you doctor. He will let you know if you are at risk for any serious side effects. If your doctor tells you to keep taking the medication, and you are still concerned about your health, you can see a second doctor or ask if there is another medication that can help your condition.
When should I contact a defective drug attorney?
You should contact an experienced defective drug attorney if you or a loved one has a serious injury that you suspect was caused by a defective drug. You may only be entitled to compensation from the drug manufacturer if there is a severe injury that can be traced directly to use of the medication.
What is "pharmaceutical liability"?
The term "pharmaceutical liability" refers to the responsibility a drug maker must acknowledge when a drug is proven to have caused severe injuries. Strict liability occurs when a manufacturer is found liable of creating, selling and marketing a drug known to have dangerous side effects. Negligence occurs when a manufacturer fails to take steps necessary to ensure the safety of their drugs, or to uncover dangerous defects.
Are my current medications safe?
Check with your doctor to see if there are any new developments regarding the medications you are currently taking. You may also check the FDA Website for recent recalls and drug safety information.

Santa's Sugar Cookies
One of Santa's favorites, these sugar cookies are sure to be popular with family and friends.
These sugar cookies are by far the most popular Christmas cookie at our house, so popular that we often double or triple this recipe so we can share with others. So what makes these cookies so great? For me it's the sugary sweet taste when decorated with frosting, and the fluffy consistency of the cookie itself. My mother Colleen has been making these cookies for my family for as long as I remember. They are only made once a year – making them extra special. This sugar cookie recipe is easy and kid friendly. Nothing says Christmas like cutting out festive shapes in cookie dough with your kids; or gathering around a table with frosting and sprinkles to decorates the dozens of cookies. To make this recipe you will need the following, if you …

Teens learn not to text and drive
Park Ridge Police Officer Laura Kappler (far left,) can't bear to look as Maine East High School student, 17-year-old Billy Kounelis of Niles, crashes while trying out the texting while driving a simulator. | Michelle LaVigne ~ Sun-Times Media
Updated: October 28, 2012 6:11AM
PARK RIDGE —In less than five minutes, William Herr narrowly missed colliding with a deer, nearly took down a pedestrian, drove in the wrong lane and blew past a stop sign before being pulled over by police.
He was also busy trying to reply to a flurry of text messages.
"It was difficult to focus on texting and how far away you were from the stoplight and the stop sign," the Maine East High School senior acknowledged.
Luckily, Herr wasn't driving an actual car. He was participating in a computer-simulated, but realistic, exercise aimed at showing drivers just how distracting — and potentially dangerous — texting behind the wheel can be.
The demonstration took place Sept. 19 during lunch periods in the Maine East cafeteria and was organized by the Park Ridge Police Department in recognition of anti-texting campaign launched by AT&T. The software was provided by AAA and the only cost to the department was the rubber thumb rings students received for signing a no-texting pledge and trying out the simulator.
There wasn't a shortage of participants eager to take the steering wheel. Groups of students, largely comprised of teenage boys, crowded around excitedly to watch their friends maneuver a video game-like course while sending and receiving text messages using a computer mouse and on-screen keypad.
The simulator featured the voice of a "passenger" instructing the driver where to go and whom to text and recorded all traffic violations. If a police car with flashing lights appeared or an accident occurred, the session ended.
"If we can get the message to one kid who will never (text and drive) then it's a success," Maine East School Resource Officer Jeff Waddell said of the initiative. "But hopefully, we can get more."
For Herr, texting while driving is not something he's interested in anyway.
"I think it's stressful enough to just drive, let alone do things added to that," he said.
Senior Simon Bazile, of Niles, had his driving session end abruptly after he started to send a text message and struck a frolicking deer head-on, much to the amusement of his peers.
"I looked at the phone for a second," Bazile said.
"It was harder than I thought," added senior Adrian Skorka of Des Plaines. "The phone was a big distraction."
Senior Christina Giannakopoulos, of Niles, also hit a deer while attempting to text and drive.
"In real life I don't text. When I drive I close my phone," she said, insisting, "I don't drive this bad in real life."
Several students also acknowledged that having people near them and talking while they attempted to "drive" was also very distracting.
Distracted driving — whether it involves a cell phone, a radio or other passengers in the vehicle — is another danger the Park Ridge Police Department tries to call attention to during such presentations.
Park Ridge Police Officer Julie Genualdi said distracted driving is not unlike driving while intoxicated.
"It's the new DUI. That's what we say," she said.
