Review: The shtick doesn't stick in 'Guilt Trip'
12/18/2012 7:48am
"Yentl" goes yenta in "The Guilt Trip," a creakily old-fashioned comedy that forgot to pack the laughs along with the nudging and kvetching. Possibly the first American film in decades in which characters drive cross-country courtesy of process shots out the back window, this mother-son yakfest blows a gasket and all four tires before it even hits the road. With Seth Rogen in very subdued mode, his fans will smell this one a mile away; it might be a movie only their mothers _ or die-hard Barbra Streisand fans _ could love.

At London's Olympic Park, Sue Bird doesn't look much like a world-class athlete.
Bird – standing at a generous 5-foot-9, 150 pounds – could easily be taken for a spectator as she strolls past Olympic gargantuans such as New Zealand shot put athlete Valerie Adams; 350-pound Holley Mangold, the U.S weightlifter; or even U.S. tennis player Serena Williams and her powerful thighs.
"Some of these Olympians are just specimens and you just feel disgusting compared to them," Bird said. "I was walking around and thinking 'Dang, I need to put a sweatshirt on.' "
But Bird is as deserving as any shot putter with bulging biceps or weightlifter at the Summer Games because she is Sue Bird, and she's the best point guard in the world, said U.S. women's national team coach Geno Auriemma.
The best is how Auriemma described Bird to a (New York) Newsday reporter recently, and on a team going for its fifth consecutive gold medal and one looking to build on 33 consecutive wins at the Olympic Games, it's not a compliment to take lightly.
"She is not just the best point guard in America right now," said Auriemma, who coached Bird at Connecticut. "Sue is the best point guard in the world right now."
Bird isn't the type of player to impress with her speed, agility or strength and she won't put 30-40 points on the scoreboard every night – though she has done it plenty of times. What really makes Bird the most valuable asset to a star-studded U.S. women's basketball team, the way she has been for the Seattle Storm the past 10 years, is her ability to make everyone around her better.
That ability has helped her accumulate an unmatched winning pedigree in women's basketball – one that might compare to Bill Russell's.
If Bird's championship trophies were a hand of cards, she would have four pairs. Bird already owns two Olympic gold medals, two WNBA championships, two NCAA titles and two high school state championships.
And she is only 31 years old.
"She's a tremendous ballhandler and passer," Auriemma said. "She just sees the game, she understands it and she understands people. She knows what she has to do to get other teammates to play their best."
Bird wasn't the MVP of the WNBA in 2011, like U.S. teammate Tamika Catchings; she didn't average a double-double like Candace Parker; she doesn't have the youthful athletic ability of Maya Moore.
But Bird is used to not being the best player. She isn't even the best player in Seattle.
That title goes to three-time league MVP Lauren Jackson, who spent the first half of this WNBA season half a world away from Seattle training with her Australian teammates for the Olympics. Bird said Australia could pose the biggest threat to the U.S. team's dream of five consecutive gold medals.
"Australia is almost the team to beat, in my opinion," Bird said. "They have been with each other already for two or three months. You can't get around that. They are going to be clicking."
Just as she is for Jackson and the Storm, Bird will be the cog that makes the U.S. team go. Bird uses screens better than anyone, makes timely passes and plays unselfishly. Her 1,879 career assists are second in WNBA history behind Ticha Penicheiro.
Bird's unselfish play is rubbing off on her U.S. teammates.
"When we were (in London) in May (for the World Championships), the big joke was that everyone was passing too much," Bird said. "The cool thing about the Olympic team is that nobody cares about minutes or points. It's not about that. You just go out there and you do everything you can to help the team win."
Bird was key in helping the U.S. team win the past two gold medals, including her prominent role in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where the U.S. women won their fourth consecutive gold. Despite the great U.S. teams to come before, Bird said the 2012 version could be the best yet.
"When you look, top to bottom, there is really no weakness on our team," Bird said. "We are very deep and hopefully that is going to play to our advantage."
If Bird wins her third gold medal, she will have to make room for it alongside the other two she owns in her safe deposit box, which she deadpanned is located at a top-secret location and complete with thumb-print and eye-reader safeguards – the whole shebang.
"There is definitely room," she said.
But maybe Bird will consider wearing all three at the closing ceremony as she meanders among the gargantuans at Olympic Park.
That way, she can leave her sweatshirts home.

Weather helping farmers during harvest
PEORIA – Good weather has allowed combines to roll, and the Illinois Department of Agriculture says more than three-quarters of the state's corn crop has aharvested – well ahead of last year's pace.
And farmers in some spots are finding better results than they had expected of corn grown during one of the worst droughts in decades.
In Peoria County, mostly dry days have helped speed the harvest, and farmers are finding a better return than forecast, Patrick Kirchhofer of the Peoria County Farm Bureau told the Journal Star.

Well we all know the different ways of traveling that we can adopt. However the question is whether one should hire a Travel Agent to plan a vacation for them or do it themselves. Well I can give you as much as 13 reasons as to why one should use a travel agent and the advantages that it entails.
- A travel agent is a customer's Advocate. If you have a problem during your trip he/she will look after it on your behalf and make sure that he/she will sort it in time so you don't have to have any inconvenience during the whole Vacation.
- They handle all aspects and duties of your travel from buying airline tickets to arranging your Lodging or transportation and planning different activities and tours for you and your family.
- If nearly all of your things are getting looked after, then this saves you both a lot of time and energy. It will relieve you of the headache to having to do everything yourself.
- Travel agents give you a variety of options to choose from. With various different traveling packages and their respective Expenditures at hand, you can choose the best optimum and economical option for yourself.
- Since the Travel agents are always in touch with the whole of other Travel community, they all have the updated information that you need to make the best possible trip for you.
- They are usually Experts in whatever advice they give you about whatever destination that you choose. They give you the best help and advice that no other traveling website may provide.
- They most certainly give you the best value out of the money you spend on the travel counseling. Since every minute of your trip is planned in the most economical way by them.
- It's all about the location and tourist attraction. According what you want, they arrange the best staying place. Moreover , it may be any place that you want to go but they make sure that you don't miss any of the tourist attractions! Be it the museums, amusements parks, Historical Locations or Nature preserves, you can see them all.
- They have a thorough know how as to all the inns and outs of any place. Be it the local laws and regulations of the best food that may be available, you can totally trust them with it. The travel agents have attended all sorts of seminars and preparatory classes to prepare themselves for this job.
- They help you get rid of the international flight Confusion. They have got it all planned for you.
- If for some reason you are no longer able to go to the trip that you so dearly planned about. You can trust the travel agent with either canceling them altogether or postponing them in a way that it does not cost you much.
Travel Agents are very good at arranging personalized trips. - If you are a senior citizen and all you want to do is relax and sight see and avoid all kids, a Travel agent is the best person who can make that happen.

Abbotsford lies in what is popularly called the Fraser Valley Bible Belt but you'd hardly believe it from the recent actions of government officials toward the homeless. Supporters of that community's...
GUELPH, Ont. - About a dozen shoppers lined up in cold, clear early-morning weather to be among the first to browse the aisles of a Canadian Target store Tuesday.
But shortly before the scheduled opening, the number of visitors to the Guelph store suddenly grew to more than 100 people, who quickly got in at 8 a.m.
The U.S. retailer opened in Guelph and two other nearby Ontario communities west of Toronto to serve as testing grounds for a phased rollout of the brand across much of the country later this year.
In the industry, it's called a "soft launch," but that lingo almost certainly won't keep shoppers away before the "grand opening" in early April.
Target Canada president Tony Fisher says it's "important that we can test and work out any of the bugs and kinks that we might find."
Another 21 stores will open this month throughout Ontario, although dates haven't been announced.
Overall, the company is expected to open between 125 and 135 locations in Canada.
After the Ontario rollout, Target will begin moving into western provinces throughout the year and eventually into Quebec.
None of those opening dates have been announced.

THIS Visits: Machine Histories
L.A.'s Lincoln Heights neighborhood is home to the studio of Jason Pilarski and Steve Joyner, the duo behind the design collaborative Machine Histories.
Just what is Machine Histories? Pilarski and Joyner explore forms by humanizing technology, working with new methods to create an array of spaces, furniture, products, and more. They treat tech in a way that doesn't try to get the most resolution out of it, but instead breaks the resolution down.
Their website says it all, "The thread that links everything together is our belief in process and production, regardless of the medium or venue. Our comprehension or even aversion to a given process is what drives the production."
THIS Visits takes a look into the work and driving forces behind Machine Histories.
Kudos and thanks to Noe Montes , who helped interview and shoot video for this visit.

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Great - knowledgable, capable and fun to be with.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Nothing beyond the advice in the Trip Notes. Take both European and US-style power adaptors - Cuban hotels have one or the other, and sometimes both!
Do you have anything else to add?
I was surprised I was the youngest member of the group (by ten years) at 34, but I guess this is my fault for assuming I was too old for an Edge group.

Korg Italy, a subsidiary of the Japanese Korg corporation, was established in 1995 to handle the design and production of electronic musical instruments and, in particular, of high-end digital pianos and electronic arranger keyboards.
The decision to locate the Italian facility in Osimo was prompted by the area's tradition in the manufacture of electronic musical instruments such as the famous console organ, a forerunner of today's digital keyboards.
"Korg Italy operates independently under the Korg brand name, with its own dedicated Research and Development department that handles not just the electronic and musical part, but also all other aspects of product design, including the mechanics, hardware, industrial design and everything else that goes into a new product," says Jürgen Schmitz, co-founder and R&D manager.
Korg produces objects that have an internal mechanism. Often, the engineers will require alterations to the industrial design if, for example, they discover that an electrical component is of a different size than that originally envisaged. Making changes to the design at an advanced stage in the product development cycle can incur considerable costs.
"Once an initial design has been finalized, we often have to repeatedly modify it to accommodate changes to internal components, such as a printed circuit board that is larger than anticipated, and so on," explains Head of Design Paolo Capeci. "When this happens, we cannot afford to dismantle the entire original design."
"For those of us who make objects containing mechanisms, the Construction History feature of solidThinking is invaluable", continues Capeci.
"solidThinking allows us to manage the frequent design modifications that occur during the product development process. In this way, we maintain full control over the project through all its stages, from concept development to the construction of the mold."
"Thanks to solidThinking, Korg Italy has achieved a substantial increase in the design department productivity and the possibility to evaluate more alternatives."
"Not just the musical instruments, but also the cases and packaging are developed with sollidThinking
"Even more important than having improved our productivity, is the improvement in quality that we have achieved. Today we exhibit our products at the Salone del Mobile in Milan: from simple musical instruments, they have become design objects that are pleasing and stimulating even to nonmusicians."
Korg is reinventing the universe of digital instruments by creating objects that can fit stylishly into a living space.
Today, Korg is no longer viewed just as a maker of musical instruments, but also as a creator of innovatively designed objects.

I understand caveman didn't use soap, but is it possible that he did more than just rinse? Using mud for cleaning purposes is one thing that comes to mind. I see animals do it, while others lick themselves. I'd be interested to know more about the way ancient human stayed clean.
The next part of the question is for those with experience with using no soap and is NSFW, you've been warned:
How do you keep it clean and odorless around the anal region? I find myself using soap only there because it just doesn't feel right to simply rinse. A notice animals like cats and dogs don't seem to get dirty there, probably mostly because it's always exposed and isn't hidden between two buttocks.
So is it possible that caveman naturally had some odors down there or did he simply rinse it and was fine or is there something that I might be missing?

The race is close and the clock is ticking down to the November 6 general election.
What did you think of the first debate between President Obama and Governor Romney? Tell us in the comments section below.
Here's an analysis of what the debates might mean.
Polls show President Obama with a pretty good lead in Pennsylvania, but Governor Romney still campaigned here last week.
Do you think the Keystone State is still in play?
Lower Saucon Guy
7:39 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
I don't think either one WON. I had never heard Romney speak before, so I tried to keep an open mind and hear what he had to say. He came off as caring about the middle class, but I didn't believe him. The Republican party has always been for big business. I believe he will say whatever he has to, to get elected. So will Obama. I believe Obama always over emphasizes education. I realize education is important, but we also need the carpenters, electricians etc. The United States used to be a huge manufacturing country, which created a lot of jobs. Now it seems it's a country of office buildings and unemployed college grads. I'll have to wait until I hear the rest of the debates to pull the lever, but I hope they're better than this one was. I almost fell asleep. Romney will still loose in PA.
charles hampton
8:22 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
Mr Romney scored a clear victory, based on style. He looked confident, aggressive, and focused. The president needs to step up and bring his A game to the next debate or he will be in danger of losing the undecideds he needs.
Mary Anne Looby
8:46 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
To LSG, You said Gov Romney came off as caring for the middle class, but you didn't believe him, because he is a Republican. I hope you will watch the rest of the debates and do it with blinders to party affliiation. We need to vote for the best man for the job, not against a preconceived notion about a party. To Charles Hampton, I agree, Gov Rommney scored a clear victory. President Obama is not a good speaker. He comes off as having to think about his answer and wing it. At this point he should be so solid in his policy, that his answers should come easily. I believe that does not happen because he is always trying to say what people want to hear. At this stage of the game, each candidate should have a platform, know it well, and not stray from it. We need to be convinced that the candidate truly believes what he is saying, and believes that it is the best for our country. Government is big busines. Gov Romney has run big business, with more oversight that our government has ever had. President Obama has never worked in the private sector, outside of the realm of politic. I think we have a clear winner, and as the dbates continue, I can only hope that the American people see and hear.
charles hampton
9:18 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
Maryann, I think what LSG was saying, and what many of us skeptics believe, is that we have really not seen and heard the real Mitt Romney. He seems to tailor his views to the viewing audience, and in the course of that , has come across as quite the flip-flopper. I would prefer to hear one consistent flow of ideas and beliefs from him, time and again!
9:53 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
None of the above.
Are there no honest leaders anymore?
9:58 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
This is the year that a charismatic Ross Perot or Lee Iacocca type would have won the election.
Or another celeb type; maybe Trump should have run.
charles hampton
11:27 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
That could have been a great three way debate, Walter. An empty suit, an empty chair, and a fake hair hat on stage together!
Rosemary B
9:59 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
Romney clearly won! Thinking this is why Obama does not meet with world leaders. He is weak and ineffective in these types of situations. Press not holding his feet to the fire these past 4 yrs in press conferences has not done Obama any favors! He is soft.
Amend Wun
10:08 am on Thursday, October 4, 2012
I think the debate was more informative than competitive, which was refreshing. Romney presented himself well, but was short on details on how his tax cuts wouldn't engendered an increase in the deficit. He just said he would figure out a way to do it. I'm not sure how to swallow that gamble. There are philosophical aspects of his pov that I tend to agree with, but his details of his implementation is lacking. The same might be said for Obamacare, but I tended to side more with the president last night in the he offered greater detail to his ideas. Good debate overall. I look forward to the next.

The debate didn't need a moderator, just someone to read the question and sound the buzzer after two minutes...It was not so much a debate as a demonstration of who had the best coaching, it reminded me of the old Dating Game. Lots of spin on who loves regulation, supports deficits at no cost, cuts taxes for everyone, likes old people (of which i'm one). Read between the lines, all the issues and stances have already been established and are on the record.

Romney, as usual, changed most of his positions again for the umpteenth time..He lied about the effect of his tax plan and lied about shipping jobs overseas. He said he'd work together with the Dems in Congress. How's that going to work out when you say your first action will be to repeal their signature accomplishment..If you get in Mittster, you'll hopefully get filibustered to death just like Obama is by your pals in the senate..You'll get crap done and you know it...Stop the lies already Mitt.. Are you auditioning for a place in the Guiness book of world records for the number of times you've changed your positions??

Mitt showed himself to be "like a well-lubricated weathervane, he has at one time or another swiveled to each of the 360 dregrees of the compass, never pausing at any spot long enough to tell us which way his wind is blowing today,"(fellow Repunlican, Jon Huntsman) Last night, Mitt showed himself to be a skilled denier of his past commitments and distorter of the true consequences of his "plan of the day." Having said that I think Mitt walked all over Obama, Leherer and even the agreed to format. Who was Obama's coach? Rich Perry???

Romney won the reality show...It was all theatrics and no substance, and replete with mendacity...Fact checkers are having a grand time!
4:36 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012
Part of Romney rhetoric was directly taken from Ron Pauls mouth, the most sane thing he said throughout the debate. I chose not to waste the electricity by turning on the tube, I've heard more than enough lies and BS out of both of these corporate owned clowns. Goldman Sachs won again, as usual.
WILFREDO G. SALCEDO, Sr.
9:36 am on Sunday, October 7, 2012
More commentaries came out after the debate and one that caught my eye was his attempt at moving to the center...On the campaign trail, he claims to be a "severely conservative"...During the debate he sounded like a "moderate"...More Etch-A-Sketch, flip-flop tomfoolery?..Which one are you, Mitt?

got the 3 wood, from Globalgolf as good condition, had bought tons of other stuff from here as good condition, but this fairways good condition was all scuffed on the top line, and seems what was a piece missing from the sole. DON'T BUY IN GOOD CONDITION, unless you want to play with a club that looks like it's been played for a decade!
I bought this club because of all the hype, i went against my own rule.Lesson learned and money burned. Switched back to my old faithful Callaway razr fit, long and accurate.This wood tend to spray all over and balloon. At first I thought it was me, but after 5 rounds and hours at the range, nope!! halfway through a round I kept to my Hybrid for those Par 5 long holes, it worked out better.

text: I agree. I've been looking for an rp where I didn't have to worry about post length but still has a well designed plot. I consider myself to be a decent writer, and I'd like to have a book published someday, but I just don't see the point in having paragraph after paragraph of description when it does nothing to further the plot or characters. I have school to keep up with, books to read, stories to write, and I'd like to play a bit of Skyrim and watch an episode or two of Doctor Who every once in a while, I don't have time to write 1000 word posts!

RAF Linton-on-Ouse 1973
Linton has history, it was major station for Bomber Command during the Second World War and played a significant role in the bloodiest chapters of the bomber offensive against the German cities. As an operational bomber crew member your odds of living through a tour of operations (thirty trips) were at one stage short to non existent. There was no way to predict who would make it and who wouldn't, the reaper was remarkably even handed when it came to experience and 'time in'. Some crews, very few admittedly, did several tours. Group Captain Leonard Cheshire, a truly remarkable man completed four.
But the truth was that this trip was a return, a return to a crucible from their earlier lives. Our rain swept, sun blessed corner of Yorkshire was the last place on earth they had stood before climbing aboard their Lancasters to join the bomber streams from all over the southern UK to set course for Germany. A return to this atmospheric and hugely important place in their collective lives was long overdue for most of them.
The coaches were evident across the afternoon during our working day, picking their way around the station slowly, the figures inside pointing or gesturing where some feature or moment returned to cause focus or hilarity. They seemed to be doing a lot of laughing, their wives didn't look bored, the jokes and the joy of active participants made its way through the windows. Perhaps as a squadron association they had remained close across the years even though they must have come from across the UK and Canada?
The day was coming to a close when they rolled up to the control tower. The flying program had ceased, the flight line clear of aircraft except for one remaining Jet Provost standing alone with a starter crew preparing it for flight. The sun was beginning to make its way towards the horizon lengthening the shadows and removing the last vestiges of heat from the day. The veterans climbed from their coaches and were shown towards stadium style seating that had been erected in front of the tower to provide a grandstand view of the airfield and the airspace above it. As they seated Wing Commander Flying stood before them describing what was the final show of the day, an aerobatic display by Flt Lt John Cheyne, the school's display pilot.
The peace was disturbed by the whine of a starter motor and the crackle of high energy igniters as the JP cranked then lit with a whump. Post start checks gave way to chocks being waved away and the little jet taxied past the small assembled crowd.
The sky was clear though streaked with high level cloud lit orange by now by the setting sun. The orb itself was obscured which would have made Johns display just that little bit easier to execute. He lifted of with a muted roar, half the crowd waved him away as he climbed to altitude.
The display was a great success, the maneuvers crisply executed and imaginatively linked to engage the crowd. After around fifteen minutes John concluded his display with a low pass and break into the circuit to land. The crowd were delighted and returned John's salute again as he taxied past us with the canopy open. He quickly vanished between the hangers, the wail of the Viper gas turbine diminished to a dying whine then ceased.
As silence returned to the airfield and the wives started to shuffle expectantly and gather their belongings. The station commander stood to face the audience; politely they became silent. "Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if I could ask you to remain seated for just a short while. We have a final item this evening which may take a few minutes to bring before you." Without further comment he returned to his seat.
By now the airfield had become utterly silent, not even a bird sang as the sun lowered itself toward the horizon; station personnel had started to collect in the vicinity of the hangers well out of sight of our Canadians. Silence.
From a distance a starter motor whined and a prop turned – with it the moved the head of every man on the stadium seating toward the source. It was a sound engrained across the heart and soul of each grey haired visitor. The large motor at the urging of its starter burst into life blowing a cloud of blue exhaust smoke from behind the furthermost hanger. With one running another whine, another billowing cloud, then another until forty eight cylinders played a steady, perfect symphony. The steady low throaty rumble echoed around every hangar space and building on the base. As the smoke cleared the roar subsided before chocks were removed, the aircraft was still invisible to the crowd but every man there knew what she was. The power and that beautiful noise rose again, with a gentle squeal and squeak of brakes first the glinting bomb aimers cupola, then the brown, green and black bulk of an Avro Lancaster nosed into view.
The effect was immediate among the assembled Lancaster crews as the years slipped away. Most became animated, others hardly moved. All were clearly deeply affected by what they were witnessing. Their wives and family remained stock still.
The Lancaster moved clear of the hanger behind which it been parked overnight. With her four spinning propellor arcs reflecting the evening light she moved across the taxiway towards us in front of the tower, the volume and proximity of the huge beast become more evident with every passing yard she travelled until she came to a halt thirty feet in front of us on the apron.
Each gun turret and every operational station as I recall seemed to be manned by a crew-member swaddled in flying clothing. The skipper set the parking brake, checked around the vicinity of the bomber then increased power on the port engines to carry out his power and magneto check on each engine. As each magento was checked in turn the heterodyne effect played harmonies for our ears.
The powerful rumble of those motors resonated in every chest cavity, that wonderful wall of sound exhilarated me, what it must have done for our Canadians I will never know.
The roar died back to a characteristic Rolls Royce Merlin crackling, burbling rumble as the port engines were brought back to idle then the same ritual was performed on the starboard side. Never in history was an engine better named. By now emotions were running, the wives blocked their ears to the noise looking to their men for reassurance. They looked in vain – they were lost in another time.
I can still see the crew working their way through their checks seemingly oblivious to the audience off their port wing at around thirty yards. They knew. The moment arrived, with brakes released the Lanc' started to edge forward slowly at idle. The skipper turned, looked towards the crowd, gave a sort of half wave, half salute and taxied onto the runway.
Tradition had it within Bomber Command that station personnel would group up next to the takeoff point and wave the boys on their way. It generated a human connection, a strong bond between those that flew and those that awaiting their return.
When that Lancaster started its takeoff roll everyone present stood up and waved it into the air The crescendo of sound at takeoff power was deafening. As the bomber's tail rose she accelerated further, unstuck and climbed swiftly into he evening sky.
There was not a dry eye on the airfield and by the she had finished ringing the walls of hangers and buildings with her unique historic sound, many had gone very quiet. The final flyby in landing configuration was slow and sedate, it finished with her climbing away, turning whilst raising her gear and flaps then heading towards the setting sun.
It was a while before anyone moved, the Lanc had dissapeared and with it some of the magic she brought with her but he atmosphere remained highly charged. The Station Commander stood up and seemed to be a little lost for words. In the end he found the only ones that would do, he kept it simple, he said, "Thank you".
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight had pre positioned the Lancaster earlier in the day but had done so without ceremony. The photographs here are collated from internet sources, the BBMF Lancaster was the aircraft depicted in the story which happened exactly as I describe it (well, as accurately as I can recall it). I later had a similar but more personal experience with a DC6 on the island of Malta. What is it about the sound of large piston engines that makes the blood flow as it does?
405 Squadron only spent a couple of months at Linton during the war, I believe they spent more time at Leeming just down the road. That might have been part of the subterfuge, they may well have come across the lancaster during their travels had they brought the show to them at their 'main' base.

Finding the Right Hospital
Choosing the right hospital or treatment facility is an important decision that requires research. If you have specialty care needs, such as bariatric surgery, transplants or spine surgery, Blue Distinction® can help you find the right hospital or other health care facility. Follow these steps to find the hospital that best meets your needs:
1. Make a List
First, write down some possibilities. Start off by finding out which hospitals are covered by your health plan.
Meet with your doctor. Find out which hospitals your primary care doctor practices in, and which hospitals he or she suggests. Often, doctors are affiliated with several hospitals. Ask about the advantages of each one.
Talk with family and friends. If they were satisfied with their own treatment, that gives you a better idea of the type of care you can expect to receive.
2. Narrow Your List
After forming an initial list, do more research to narrow it down. Go online. Search for articles about hospitals you are considering. To search for Blue Distinction Centers®, use the Blue Distinction Directories:
Blue Distinction Centers for Bariatric Surgery® Directory of Providers
Blue Distinction Centers for Cardiac Care® Directory of Providers
Blue Distinction Centers for Transplants® Directory of Providers
Blue Distinction Centers for Complex and Rare Cancers® Directory of Providers
Blue Distinction Centers for Knee and Hip ReplacementSM Directory of Providers
Blue Distinction Centers for Spine SurgerySM Directory of Providers
When you search for a hospital or other health care facility, you will see a logo next to those that are accredited by The Joint Commission . State and consumer organizations also track quality of care at hospitals.
The Joint Commission offers reports rating hospitals by several levels of accreditation. It is a good idea to look into accreditation and complaints.
3. Visit the Hospital
Decide if the location is convenient for you and for loved ones who may want to visit. Ask about visiting hours. See if the hospital looks clean and comfortable.
Ask about the hospital's training and success in treating your health problem. How many similar cases are seen there each year, and what are the results? You may want to pick a hospital that has performed your treatment many times.
Find out if the hospital has general or specialized care. Is your treatment one of the specialties? Does it offer the types of testing your treatment will need? Blue Distinction can help you find the right hospital or other health care facility.
Other questions you may want to think about:
- Is it a teaching hospital?
- Is it a for-profit facility?
- Is it government-supported?
Talk about the pros and cons of each scenario with your doctor.
Note: Designation as Blue Distinction Centers means these facilities' overall experience and aggregate data met objective criteria established in collaboration with expert clinicians' and leading professional organizations' recommendations. Individual outcomes may vary. To find out which services are covered under your policy at any facilities, please call your local Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plan; and call your provider before making an appointment, to verify the most current information on their Network participation status. Neither Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association nor any of its Licensees are responsible for any damages, losses, or non-covered charges that may result from using this website or receiving care from a provider listed in this website.

Deciding the "must have" items becomes quite complicated in case of a college going girl. This is because you have to make sure that you don't end up with clothes, which become unwearable in the next season and at the same time you have to keep up with the trends. In this article we have compiled a list of some must have accessories and items, keeping in mind the requirements of college girls.
1. A good quality bag
One of the most important accessory that you must have in your wardrobe is a bag that holds everything. Some points that you must keep in your mind while selecting a bag is that it is of good quality and goes with most of your wardrobe. Bags made from leather, canvas, or strong fake leather are good options. Also, bags having a number of pockets and zippered compartments keep you organized.
2. Pair of well fitting jeans
A pair of jeans is something which certainly comes on the top when we are talking about a college girl's closet. 4-5 pairs of jeans are more than sufficient and the best thing about them is that even if you wear the same pair twice a week, then also no one is going to notice. Make sure that the jeans, which you are stocking up in your wardrobe are of different washes and styles.
3. Well cut fall jacket
It is totally up to you to choose a formal or a casual jacket, the only thing that you have to consider is that it fits well and matches with most of your clothes. You don't have to stock up a complete range of these jackets, one or two is quite sufficient. However, you have to make sure that you don't settle for something, which doesn't fit well, so it may happen that you have to spend some time before you end up with the right jacket. But it is for sure that the final outcome will be worth your efforts.
4. Tank tops
Tank tops are one of the most versatile clothing items that you'll love to have in your closet because not only these tops can be worn alone in summer, but they also can be worn in winter by layering them under jackets, cardigans, and long-sleeved tops. Some blend fabrics can cause weird clinging making the outline of your bra under your tank top visible, so it is better to go for tops which are 100% cotton.
5. Chic cardigans
Although a cardigan may appear quite simple, there are a number of ways by which it can be styled. In fact, the cardigans can work wonders for you if they are in the right combination with rest of your outfit. However, if you are thinking that we are suggesting you to buy those 100% cashmere cardigans, then you are certainly mistaken because time and money is required to get them dry cleaned regularly, both of which are lacking in the case of college girls. So, basic cotton cardigans in colors like hot pink, purple, or chocolate brown will be perfect for you.
6. Winter coats
This one is only for them who live in a region, which faces severe winter because for moderate winters, cardigans, and jackets are sufficient. Also, you'll like to have one of these, if you are planning a ski vacation. You are certainly going to love those cute faux-fur trimmed parkas or the classic wool pea coats.
7. Dressy tops
Besides being very comfortable, these dressy tops go well with a number of clothing items like your favorite pair of jeans or skirts. Wear one of these dressy tops with jeans or under a fall jacket to a party. However, it is much better to stay away from those see-through, too tight or uber low cut tops.
8. A classic dress
If you are looking for something, which is easy to wear and looks stylish at the same time, then these classic dresses are certainly for you because these one piece dresses are pretty much entire outfits. Out of all the colors available, the black looks best in terms of being classic and chic. However, the most important thing is that it must fit well, even if it is not black. You can even go fro some other color that flatters your skin tone.
9. White button down shirt
You must be thinking that why these formal looking shirts are in the list of "must haves" for a college girl? This is because you are most likely to use them for job interviews and internships. Go for the perfect size having a little stretch and cut that flatters your body shape. You can even think of spending a few more bucks on these shirts as you'll be wearing them when you grab a job later.
10. A pair of casual flats
These inexpensive casual flats are essential for spring and fall. Adding them to your wardrobe is not going to have some serious impact on your budget; besides this, these flat sandals add chicness to any outfit that you wear. You'll just need two pairs of them, one in the basic black or brown color and the other one can be in a bright color. The ones having metal embellishments also look cute.
11. A pair of nice dress pants
These dress pants when worn along with your button down shirt will provide you the corporate look, which is just perfect for job interviews. Go for those, which are black or dark gray with a wide leg. The length of these pants must be such that you can wear them with heels and at the same time they are not so much long that they drag on the ground.
12. Summer skirts
Although these are not essential to everyone's wardrobe, but still you'll love to have them as they are very easy to pair with pretty jewelry, flip flops, and even with simple tank tops in summer. Try out the knee length floral printed or solid colored skirts.
13. Slippers
You can't just walk around your naked feet in your dorm or apartment, that is why slippers fall into the category of "must haves". Slippers are the perfect accessory, which provides you the opportunity to go as crazy as you want, obviously they are slippers and you are going to wear them indoors only.
14. Sexy heels
College life is just incomplete without parties. You must have at least one pair of these high heels in your wardrobe to wear with your super-flattering jeans. The patent leather with heel height of 3-4 inches looks best, but it is better to go with the ones, which complement your personality in the best way.
15. A pair of black pumps
A pair of black pumps is just essential with your white button down shirts and dress pants when you are going for your job interview; obviously you won't like to wear some fancy looking high heels on such occasions. Spending a few more bucks will make sure that these black pumps last longer.

Bath in move for Steyn?
9 May 2008
Reports from England suggest that Bath are poised to make a move to contract Frans Steyn.
The Independent reports that the Premiership club are keen to acquire the services of South Africa's brightest young talent.
"His name is being bandied around Recreation Ground with considerable gusto, as is that of the All Black flanker Jerry Collins, and it is not difficult to see why," Independent rugby correspondent Chris Hewitt wrote. "Olly Barkley, a goal-kicking centre in the form of his life, is in the last throes of his career at Bath before heading up the M5 to Gloucester, and Olly Barkleys do not grow on trees. If, as is widely expected, the England midfielder Toby Flood joins Leicester, the West Countrymen will have to look elsewhere to replace their most influential back."
The Sharks lost Springbok flyhalf Butch James to a lucrative contract offer from Bath at the end of 2007 and Steyn's departure would be a another massive blow to the Durban-based franchise.
However, Sharks CEO Brian van Zyl has strongly denied the rumours. "Thats absolute rubbish. Frans is contracted until the end of 2009 so it is impossible that he will leave before then," Van Zyl told keo.co.za. "We've had no contact with Bath and neither will we entertain any offers for Frans He is a key player for us."
This week SA Rugby announced that Steyn was among the group of 11 Springboks who signed a one-year contract. However, the outcome of Bakkies Botha's pending legal action against the Blue Bulls Company will have a profound influence on how binding contracts are in future.
Botha is attempting to have his Bulls contract, which runs until 2011, declared null and void, allowing him to accept a multi-million rand contract offer from French second division club Toulon. Steyn is unlikely to follow a similar course of action should the rumoured approach be credible, but interest from European clubs will certainly intensify the closer he gets to the end of his contract.
IRB regulations prohibit any player or their representatives from negotiating with another union/franchise until 120 days prior to the expiration of the player's contract. The Sharks will surely attempt to tie him down to a long-term deal well before the northern-hemisphere big spenders come knocking.
However, if Steyn left South Africa as a 21-year-old he would have, at the very least, 10 years of commanding a massive salary from whichever European club contracted him (should he choose not to return).
With SA Rugby poised to scrap restrictions on overseas-based players, Steyn's Test career would not be threatened, although it would take a skilled juggling act to manage the club versus country clash. It would therefore not be inconceivable to suggest that Steyn could finish his career as the richest South African rugby player in history, given the extended time period he would be able to spend playing in Europe, when compared to the majority of his peers who move in their mid-to-late 20s.
With rumours abound linking Steyn to Bath, another former Sharks could well be on his way back from Europe. Van Zyl intimated that there is a strong possibility that John Smit could re-join the franchise by the end of May.
"With John having been appointed captain of the Springboks and [Springbok head coach] Peter de Villiers keen to see him playing in South Africa, we have been in contact. If he does return, it will have to be well before the Springboks' first Test [7 June]."
The French season only concludes in six weeks time and Smit's Clermont are currently embroiled in an almighty scrap with Toulouse for the top log position. Given that scenario, Clermont are understandably reluctant to release one of their prized assets and that situation could turn ugly in the coming weeks.
Van Zyl also confirmed that French maestro Frederic Michalak could return to the Sharks to play in the Currie Cup. Michalak injured knee ligaments in their match against the Waratahs, ruling him out of the Super 14, but according to his agent he does not require surgery and will be ready to play in six weeks.
"There is a chance Fred could come back but we haven't seen any of his medical records yet. When we do we will discuss the issue," Van Zyl said. "The likelihood is that Frans and Ruan [Pienaar] will be in the Springbok squad this season and that obviously leaves us short of options at flyhalf. We need to find a solution to that challenge and in that regard we haven't completely ruled out a return for Fred."

9 May 2008, 16:03 pmThe only reason Steyn would move overseas is if he feels that, at least there, he will be allowed to play in the position he wants to play, i.e. flyhalf.
Honestly, all the kid likes at this stage is rugby and girls. But he really wants to play flyhalf.

Earlier today there was a thread debating where Styne should play. Looks like we all got it wrong …. the correct answer was Europe
9 May 2008, 17:02 pmSodaJoe,
Did you get my reply on how to do autorefreshing of your web page (from a couple of weeks ago) ?
9 May 2008, 17:05 pm#64 church – like chch but pronounceable: I also need to know how to do this as I either do a cnrtl F5 or manually click the refresh icon on top by the url.
9 May 2008, 17:11 pmSharks better allow Frans to speciailze in one position or he will bite the carrot and go for overseas rugby where he can earn lots of $. At the moment he is sure to go the Brent Russel way.
9 May 2008, 17:16 pm#65 TKZ:
Use Firefox as your browser. There is a certified plug in called 'reload every'. You can set the reload interval on each individual open tab (very cool). -
9 May 2008, 17:17 pm#4 rangerman:
Ranger if you are there long enough to be naturalised, then you can play again for another country. John Allen played for Scotland and South Africa. Unless the IRB has a specific rule. But I have a feeling its 3 years. -
9 May 2008, 17:17 pmit will be great for frans to go to europe, as long at PDV chooses the oke im happy then! go vrystaaaat!
9 May 2008, 17:31 pm#68 4man:
It is 3 years.
9 May 2008, 17:34 pmBrian, I wouldn't get too worried about Ruan being in the Bok squad…..he hasn't exactly been on form this year.
9 May 2008, 17:46 pmI think the IRB law is a load of FU%&*G bollocks!
If you've lived somewhere long enough to be CALLED a citizen, of course you deserve to be allowed to play for them. Regardless of your past.
I don't believe the laws of the IRB in this regard are fair at all.
However, to be sure I am not misunderstood; current laws stand that once you have earned your senior cap (even if you warmed the bench), you are no longer allowed to play for any other country.
Under 21 Springbok Clyde Rathbone play(ed) for Australia. How? Because he did not play for the Springboks.
Same way that our lock (forget his name…) is now playing for the all blacks (when they pick him).
These guys left BEFORE they played for the Springboks. They played baby boks, but not the senior bok team.
Sorry Luke. Either they pick you now (and they should), or its over.
9 May 2008, 17:51 pmThat is wrong. The 3 year rule is what is currently in place.
9 May 2008, 17:53 pm#64 church – like chch but pronounceable: Chch I did thanks. I did say thanks on that thread. I was pretty amazed at the add-ons for Firefox which I was totally unaware of.
9 May 2008, 17:54 pm#67 church – like chch but pronounceable: Thanks bru.While im at it wld u also know how to open a beer with your eye as that broad does on the Hyundai TV advert.LOL!!!
9 May 2008, 18:13 pmSorry, I must have already logged out. I am a big Firefox fan. I used IE today on someone elses laptop to configure a router and modem. It was so hard in IE to get it to stop cashing from a specific IP. The Router kept showing the pre-reboot details through the portal. Sooooo **** I installed Firefox then configured everything
The **** thing for me as that I am now currently on dial-up so can't use 'reload every'
For anyone with a PDA, phone or PDA-phone I recommend Opera for a browser. I can be on Keo with tabbed browsing and finger scrolling
9 May 2008, 18:15 pm#75 church – like chch but pronounceable: I am not sure that I can get Opera on my iPhone? Safari is ok on the phone but really slow in US (no 3G, at least with ATT).
How come you know all of this stuff Chch.
9 May 2008, 18:25 pmOccupational hazard. I am an IT contractor. Business Apps is my field (not the stuff we are discussing) but everyone working on the move in IT are communication and gadget freaks.
Opera is made for Symbian (S60 and UIQ), Pocket PC and Windows Mobile formats. Check out the new 9.5 version (just released) demoed on the worlds best phone (just released Monday) on Youtube. The phone is the 'HTC Touch Diamond'. Half the size of an i-phone with twice the features.
9 May 2008, 18:35 pmIn fact go to PDAnet dot com
Use the comparison page to compare your iPhone with the HTC Touch Diamond and you will cry.The Diamond uses a new interface called TouchFlo3D … you have to see it on youtube to believe it. These things will be on the market in Asia in June. Hope to have one by September
Anyway…. back to the rugby

9 May 2008, 19:08 pm#79 PissCat: OK that's good. Just checking on pedigrees.
9 May 2008, 19:10 pm#78 church – like chch but pronounceable: That's all I need, to feel that my $300 phone is a piece of ****.
Actually I like the iPhone, but it's really slow if no wifi. Everything else is good.
US cellphone service is about 3 years behind Europe & RoW.
9 May 2008, 19:39 pmhehe, don't feel bad, still a good phone. You just need a spare battery for all the wifi surfing … doh
The thing is if you like the plugins on firefox then you shouldn't have a phone running a Mac O2 operating system. I am on WindowsMobile 6.0 and there are a zillion extra applications including the coolest free stuff from communties like those on the xda-developers web site.
You are on EDGE and could still Skype if you could install an application to allow for the bandwidth limitation like Fring …. but you can't install Fring because of your OS -
10 May 2008, 07:38 amBy all means take him for a season, refine his game… and send him back before the Lions tour thanks
10 May 2008, 08:32 am#72 church – like chch but pronounceable:
Not so Chch
Read the IRB players laws. They changed in 2000. Once a player has played for one national senior side, he may never play for another country, regardless of how long he lives there. (I don't agree with this law, but it is still a law)
you can download the PDF from http://www.irb.com/mm/document/lawsregs/0/060924gfirbregulation8%5f883.pdf
8.1 Subject to Regulation 8.2, a Player may only play for the senior fifteen-aside
National Representative Team, the next senior fifteen-a-side National
Representative Team and the senior National Representative Sevens Team
of the Union of the country in which:
(a) he was born; or
(b) one parent or grandparent was born; or
(c) he has completed thirty six consecutive months of Residence
immediately preceding the time of playing.
8.2 A Player who has played for the senior fifteen-a-side National
Representative Team or the next senior fifteen-a-side National
Representative Team or the senior National Representative Sevens Team
of a Union is not eligible to play for the senior fifteen-a-side National
Representative Team or the next senior fifteen-a-side National
Representative Team or the senior National Representative Sevens Team
of another Union.
8.3 For the purposes of this Regulation,If a Player has dual eligibility, can he play for the
senior or next senior fifteen-a-side National Representative
Team or the senior National Representative Sevens Team of
more than one Union?
No, save for those Players that, before 1 January 2000, allowed a period of
36 consecutive months to elapse after they had played for another Union
and who played for the second Union before 1 January 2000. The one
Union only rule, introduced by the IRB from 1st January 2000 (as set out
in Regulation 8.2), will be maintained. A Player is only entitled to play
Rugby Union for the senior or next senior fifteen-a-side National
Representative Team or the senior National Representative Sevens Team
of one Union. Accordingly, if a Player is deemed to have played for such a
team, even if he is able to satisfy one or more of the eligibility criteria set
out in Regulation 8.1, he will not be able to play for any other Union.
Consistent with the overall rationale underlying the eligibility Regulations,
the one Union only rule is designed to maintain the integrity of the
international Game. Once a Player has committed himself to a particular
Union, through participation in one of the Matches or Tours identified in
Regulations 8.3 or 8.4, he is unable to change his "Rugby Nationality"
which becomes fixed.
5. When is a Player deemed -

NORTH ADAMS -- One of the city's summer traditions is officially under way.
The North Adams Farmers Market enjoyed a steady stream of customers at its first showing of the year Saturday, set to continue through Oct. 27.
Located in the St. Anthony Municipal Parking Lot at State and Center streets, the market featured a live band, vendors selling everything from flowers to vegetables to meats -- all locally produced -- and a crowd of happy customers, many conscious of the value of keeping the local stock alive and prospering.
"We just love the idea of everyone eating more healthy and having access to the good, local food," said Diana Cirillo, who's helped put the fair together for more than a decade. "It works both ways because [customers] are helping our farmers and neighbors and they're also helping themselves by opting for fresh, local produce."
Sharon Wyrrick, owner of Many Forks Farm in Clarksburg, presided over a fragrant display of greens, herbs and other vegetables. Wyrrick said customers began cleaning out her stores before the start time of 8 a.m. even struck.
"People appreciate coming to the market because it helps them connect to what farmers do and feel a part of it," Wyrrick said. "No matter what the cost of fuel come to, small farms can be sustained and put out food year-round that's good for your health."
New farm vendors this year include Square Roots Farm, of Clarksburg -- soon to be moving to
Veronica J. Bosley, the city director of tourism and community events, looks forward to encouraging participation and growing the event over the course of the season.
"We have a really nice collection of farmers here that are dedicated to growing and making food locally," Bosley said.
Bosley said the event is held up by a committee of local farmers and "people who are interested in local food or have the food activist background."
According to Bosley, there's a particular interest among organizers in making the market more "activity-based."
"More musicians and demonstrations and things to really shape it into a market-festival idea," Bosley said.
Bosley said children's activities and a potential petting zoo have been discussed, along with educational food demonstrations.
"We would love to have a local chef come in and give a demonstration, taking ingredients from the different vendors and showing people how to make a dish," Bosley said.
Local food loyalists can look forward to these events shaping up in the coming weeks.
The North Adams Farmers Market has been active since the 1970s.

Folks, I am assuming that the look of your tungsten can tell welders a story. I assume that we can read the tip like and engine builder can read a spark plug in order to optimize your welds.
Do you know of a good resource on the internest where I can learn more about this?

TIG Welding Aluminum [Reading your tungsten]

Before worrying about "reading" your tung it might be best to understand how to choose and prep the proper tungsten to match what you are welding and type of welding machine..
here is a chapter out of the Miller TIG handbook worth reading and understanding
the Diamond Ground tung hanbook is worth studying as well..
Too many people neglect the basics of Tungsten type, sizing and preparation... then they wonder about strange symtoms....
Here is a Visual guide to TIG bead problems...

The more you know, The better you know, How little you know............................. (Old Estonian Saying)
looks like some good info in those links, Ill have to read those when i get some free time.
For the most part i just look for splits, This is very common on pure tungsten, Espicaily if running on the upper end of amps compared to size, I also make sure its clean, Pure gets contaiminated even if you dont touch anything, And i never weld with a dirty tungsten, if i hit it or even the lightest touch i stop and resharpen it, even cut that part off most the time. As far as types i think its alot of preference, I actually like 2% thoriated the best for aluminum, you can run more amps with them(size for size compared to pure) before they start splitting and resist contamination way more than pure. Also look for colors, if see any gold or blue your post flow is set to low and is losing sheild before it gets a chance to cool. Ive had good luck with the rare earth ones too (grey) If the radioactive thing bothers ya
also as H80N said, proper sharpening and prep is probly the most important, And always use one grinding wheel dedicated to tungsten, I also noticed when i used to break the tungsten to size, it causes it to split. i no longer do this, just use grinder to cut them off.

Tungsten choice and preparation varies between transformer and inverter machines....
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know............................. (Old Estonian Saying)
I perfer to use a 120 grit sanding wheel, it leaves less lines then a grinder wheel would.
I would search these forums and read all about the color people use and WHY they use them. Everyone has their own opinions on tungsten, it is your job to figure out which one is best for you. You can't have someone teach you to weld, you must weld yourself to be taught.

The Foldaway Recumbent Exercise Bicycle.
This is the recumbent exercise bicycle that folds in seconds to half its set-up size for unobtrusive storage under a bed or in a closet. Unlike traditional stationary models that force riders to pedal while hunched over (causing unnecessary back strain), this recumbent model encourages users to sit upright and pedal with correct spinal posture.
The bicycle has an LCD for simple navigation of workout menus, displaying your heart rate (when gripping the sensors built into the handlebars), exercise time, speed, calories burned, and distance traveled, and the bicycle's resistance adjusts at the turn of a knob.
The sturdy steel frame ensures years of reliable use, the foam-padded handgrips and seat provide optimal comfort, and the seat adjusts to suit different riders. Pedal straps keep your feet secured for an even pedal stroke. Integrated wheels ensure ease of portability.
Supports up to 250 lbs. and heights between 5'4" and 6'.
Assembly required.
Set-up: 47" H x 26" W x 30-1/4" D.
Folded: 43" H x 26" W x 21 3/4" L.
(38-1/4 lbs.)
