To help you prepare for the IE7 release we've updated many of our tech articles on MSDN including those on Protected Mode, ActiveX Security and CSS Compatibility. You'll find more sample code, more examples, and best practices for scenarios that you've brought to us this year.
As an example, Protected mode changes the way IE opens because it needs to create both low and medium integrity processes, IExplore.exe at low and IEUser.exe at medium. If your application opens and closes IE, you'll want to maintain a handle to the IExplore.exe process even when it's running with low integrity in Protected Mode. In Windows Vista Beta 2 this means you have to create a low integrity process or search through all open process to get a handle to IExplore.exe at low. To make this change easier for you, we created IELaunchURL() in Windows Vista RC1, which helps you get a handle to IE's process across integrity levels. For more details, check out "Launching and Navigating a Protected Mode Process" in the Protected Mode article.

Central Florida offensive coordinator Charlie Taaffe has been a football coach for more than four decades.
During his years in the ACC, Taaffe was an assistant coach at Georgia Tech, North Carolina State, Virginia and Maryland. He poured over thousands of hours of game film, coming up with schemes and searching for ways to move the football against opposing defenses.
Thinking back, Taaffe recalls two defensive players that gave him nightmares — North Carolina linebacker Lawrence Taylor and Tar Heels defensive end Julius Peppers.
After watching South Carolina for the past two weeks, you can add a third player to that list — Gamecocks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.
Even with an injured foot, Clowney is the best defensive player Taaffe has seen since he was at Maryland and watched Peppers terrorize quarterbacks from 1998-2001. Taylor was an outside linebacker for the Tar Heels from 1978-81, when Taaffe was an assistant coach at Virginia.
"I've had to game-plan for some great defensive players, but LT (Taylor) and Peppers have been head-and-shoulders the best, the most disruptive players I've coached against," said Taaffe, who was the head coach at The Citadel from 1987-96. "Athletically they were just freaks of nature. I think Clowney is just as good as LT and Peppers, maybe even a little bit better. He's a once-in-generation kind of player."
Like Taylor and Peppers, Clowney has that rare combination of size, strength and speed. Contrary to ESPN's recent campaign criticizing Clowney for taking plays off, the All-American also has the motor to go along with all that athletic talent, Taaffe said.
"You see a lot of talented players that can't put it all together," Taaffe said. "They lack that certain quality — size or speed or effort — that keeps them from being great. LT had it all and so did Peppers. Clowney has it, too. I've watched the film and I've seen him all over the field. There's nothing wrong with his motor.
"You can take a play here or there and you highlight someone you think is not hustling, but he's playing hard. No player is going to make every play."
Taaffe said the normal rules of making a game plan don't apply for players like Taylor, Peppers and Clowney. You can't just run all your plays away from them.
"You kind of have to pick your poison," Taaffe said. "If you pay too much attention to a player like Clowney then you open yourself up to the rest of their defensive line, which is very good.
"He's also good enough to beat double-teams by himself. If you don't pay attention to him, you risk having him knock someone's head off like he did in the bowl game."
Clowney has been slowed by a foot injury. He had a noticeable limp against Georgia and Vanderbilt. With an extra week of rest, Taaffe is certain Clowney will be moving better on Saturday against the Knights. He also expects to see Clowney lined up at different positions throughout the game.
"I think the extra week is only going to help his mobility," Taaffe said. "They've had two weeks to game-plan for us, so I expect we'll see him in some different packages. It'll be a chess match and I'm sure we'll have to improvise at some point during the game."

Preparing for the holidays
With Thanksgiving this week and the Christmas and New Year's holidays right around the corner, we offer "work ahead" suggestions on getting yourself and your home better prepared for holiday diners and guests.
1. Clean the refrigerator: Take advantage and clean the icebox before it is loaded with turkey, mashed potatoes, and all those holiday treats. Start by removing the shelving and drawers, spray down the interior with a solution of 1-cup water and 1-teaspoon dishwashing liquid, and clean condiment tops. Also, do not forget to clean the outside.
2. Polish the silver: After spending a year in storage, silver serving pieces and candlesticks may become dusty or tarnished. Use a silver polish safe to use on silver pieces that come in contact with food.
3. Clean the fireplace and stock up on wood/propane: Place newspaper around the fireplace to protect the floor and shovel ashes into a bag. Use a vacuum to pick up the remaining lightweight ashes. For glass doors, scrape off any baked-on soot with a razor and use a vinegar-water solution (1/2-cup vinegar to 1-gallon water) to clean the glass. Stock up on wood and fire starters or check the propane tank to ensure the fire will burn brightly throughout the holiday season.
4. Prepare the guestroom: Wash the bedding, clear any clutter, clean up pet hair to avoid allergic reactions, and dust drawers and closets in the guestroom. For wood surfaces such as dressers and nightstands, use a cleaner to remove any dust, dirt and grime that accumulated and give furniture a brilliant shine.
5. Make room for guest coats and shoes: Place extra hangers in the hall closet and make room if necessary to accommodate guests' bulky jackets. Also, add a welcome mat to help stop dirt and water from entering the home.
Remember, the better prepared you are, the more you'll be able to relax and enjoy your guests, family, and the holidays!

Running a food truck seems like such an accessible arm of the industry. The startup costs are cheaper than those for a restaurant, and it takes fewer employees to keep a truck up and running.
But as Chris Viola and Jason Scott prepare to open their second actual restaurant, the creators of The Taco Truck have learned cheaper doesn't always mean easier. In fact, running a restaurant can be a walk in the park compared to the day-to-day grind of selling your food on four wheels.
"Just running a truck, it's grueling," said Viola, who has worked as a food and beverage manager at the Four Seasons and ran his own restaurant consulting business. "Six months into it, I was like, 'This is not what I expected.'"
Viola and Scott launched The Taco Truck in 2009 with a staff of about 10 employees, driving their truck around Hoboken and Jersey City, selling their version of authentic Mexican street food.
"Mexican food in America usually has a lot of cream and cheese, and is not what Mexican food should be," Viola said. "I was just like the rest of the gringos who thought it was, like, TexMex."
The truck offered a relatively inexpensive way to test a brand and a menu, costing an average of about $100,000 to $120,000 to get one up and rolling, Viola said.
But you have limited space in a truck, and you have to contend with special ordinances and parking regulations and the weather. Viola said he had days when the truck staff made a huge batch of food, but had to donate everything when police kicked them out of their parking space and they had no access to customers.
A restaurant, on the other hand, can cost up to six times that amount to start, Viola said. But you don't have to hunt down pockets of customers. You have plenty of room, and you don't have to contend with police and parking regulations just to open your business for the day.
So in 2010, Viola and Scott opened The Taco Truck's first restaurant location in Hoboken. Now, in Morristown, they are set to open what will become their flagship location in mid-August.
"We thought the truck really represented our food and our brand," Viola said. "For us, though, we always knew we wanted to do brick and mortar."
Several other restaurants in the state — such as Kraverie in Jersey City, which sells Korean tacos and crepes — have used a food truck as an entrée into bricks-and-mortar establishments. But Ruth Hladyk, director of professional development and internships for the International School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, at Fairleigh Dickinson University, said she doesn't see that transition as the new trend in the industry.
"I don't think that's how brick-and- mortar restaurants are going to get started," Hladyk said. Food trucks are "a niche, and it's got its place, just like everything else."
Hladyk agreed that running a food truck presents unique challenges, compared to operating a restaurant, but she wasn't necessarily convinced that food trucks are an easier way to go when you take into account startup costs and the ability to bring your food straight to your customers.
"I'm not saying there's not work involved and you're not out in the cold or out in the rain or in the heat," she said. "The hours you put into it are incalculable. And you either want to do it or you don't."
For The Taco Truck, Viola and Scott haven't completely abandoned their food truck roots. The truck still goes out five days a week, serving up tortas, tacos and salads from the Hamptons, in New York, to South Jersey.
The Morristown location — which will be nearly three times the size of the one in Hoboken — is being designed to resemble a truck. One wall is covered in aluminum. The windows where customers will place their orders are high off the ground, allowing diners to feel like they are still ordering off the side of a truck, Viola said. And strings of lights hang from extra high ceilings to give the feeling of dining al fresco.
By the end of this year, Viola said, the company is looking to open another Taco Truck location in New Jersey. They haven't yet selected a site, but Viola said they are eyeing towns from Ridgewood to Princeton. They are also finalizing the paperwork to begin franchising the Taco Truck concept and are gearing up to open another location in Boston, where they've had a truck operating since May of last year.
Despite all the work such growth entails, Viola remains firm that running a food truck is still a tougher way to go.
"If you can make it at that, you're good to go," he said.

Submitted by the Niagara County Department of Health
Over the past two bathing seasons, the Niagara County Department of Health has been gathering data in an attempt to determine the source of the high bacteria counts in bathing beach waters of Olcott/Krull Park. The persistently high counts prompted NCDOH to order multiple closures of the bathing beach to assure human safety. As part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the New York State Department of Health has been providing funding to NCDOH to help support the efforts of the Division of Environmental Health in collecting and testing beach water samples and further investigating the causes of the high bacteria levels.
In August of this year, the NCDOH collected a series of water samples to test for the presence of types of bacteria commonly found in the feces of humans and other warm-blooded animals. Fecal bacteria are normally present in our environment. However, the presence of increased fecal germs in recreational water may indicate bacterial pollution that may cause illness in people who swim or recreate in bacteria-contaminated water. Sampling and testing for special bacteria (bacteriodes) can help determine whether the source of the bacteria is human or animal. The prerequisite for collecting samples for special bacteria analysis is the presence of high bacterial counts during routine beach water sampling. After collecting a high bacterial count sample meeting the criteria, NCDOH was able to submit samples to the environmental biology laboratory of the NYSDOH Wadsworth Center for analysis. The laboratory results ruled out a human or water bird source of the fecal bacteria found in the water for those three samples submitted for analysis. The test results point to an animal source of water contamination such as cattle, goats, sheep or deer.
These results represent a snapshot in time and are not considered conclusive. The 2012 bathing season was not your typical season with abundant dry, hot and sunny weather. The beach at Olcott/Krull Park was closed on three occasions totaling seven days this year, as opposed to eight occasions and 20 days in 2011. It is not possible to draw any concrete conclusions based upon this one-time sampling. This data will add to the data already collected and yet to be collected in order to fully evaluate this issue.
The (Niagara County Health) Department is continuing to sample the beach at Olcott/Krull Park on a weekly basis for bacteria. The results have been satisfactory for the first three weeks in September.
It is noted that the department is working with Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Niagara County Farm Bureau, the New York State Farm Bureau and the Niagara County Soil and Water Conservation District to investigate animal sources in the watershed. Also, the department continues to work with the Town of Newfane on all issues surrounding our investigation at the beach and in the watershed. We are also working with the NYSDOH and Wadsworth lab to plan for 2013 sampling events. 2013 sampling events will involve additional beach and watershed samplings and site investigations associated with factors mentioned below to better define their role, if any, in the beach bacterial closure events. Other sources of bacteria to be further investigated include beach sand, algae, sediment, sewage overflows and storm water runoff. The analysis of this problem is complicated by the many factors that can influence conditions at the beach. Wind direction and speed, rainfall, current direction, lake turnover, water temperature, algae, turbidity, watershed conditions and sediment disturbance all can play a role in the bacteria found at the beach, and each will be studied further as we attempt to address the issue of high bacteria levels at the beach. As a further study area in 2012, we have received permission to submit a sediment sample from the beach, which will be analyzed for special bacterial (bacteriodes) to further investigate sediment disturbance associated with beach water quality. This sampling will occur within the next week with results expected in October.

Feeling the Pull: Kitchen Cabinet Hardware
Watching reruns on TV a few nights ago, I couldn't help but ogle (again) the kitchen belonging to the character played by Mikhail Baryshnikov on Sex and the City. The whole apartment is pretty amazing, but I noticed, of all things, how much I liked the wide horizontal pulls on the upper kitchen cabinets.
The pulls, which are very similar to the ones in the first image, aren't too easy to see in the photo of the SATC kitchen (Image 3). Seen onscreen, set designer Ondine Karady's hardware choice appealed to me visually and, given that I'm barely 5'2", practically.
Knobs and pulls are the kind of detail that can single-handedly update and upgrade a kitchen. I think I am partial to horizontal rather than vertical pulls, but I've also found myself eying the knobs at Anthropologie and wondering where I could use them. I also like the lack of hardware created by cutting holes in the top cabinet's glass fronts in the the beach house in Image 2.
What do you prefer?

Internationally respected neuroscientist Fredric A. Gorin, whose investigations of novel therapies for brain cancer, traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular disease and stroke have resulted in four U.S. patents, has been appointed chair of the Department of Neurology in the UC Davis School of Medicine. Gorin's appointment became effective July 1.
Gorin oversees more than 100 faculty, volunteer clinical faculty, post-doctoral fellows, residents, graduate students, clinical fellows and staff members, who conduct research and provide expert clinical and diagnostic services for individuals suffering from a broad array of neurological and neuromuscular conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and other neurocognitive disorders, epilepsy, cerebrovascular disease and stroke, Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases, traumatic brain injury and muscular dystrophy.
A neuropharmacologist, Gorin is an expert in computer-based drug design and holds a doctorate in biophysics and physiology. His four patents are for novel small-molecule therapies designed to treat aggressive forms of primary brain cancers such as glioblastomas, neuroblastomas and medulloblastomas, as well as cancers that have spread to the central nervous system. Gorin also researches new drugs for treating the intracranial swelling that often accompanies conditions such as traumatic brain injury and stroke.
"Dr. Gorin's innovative and multifaceted investigations place him at the forefront of our understanding of diseases of the nervous system, from brain cancer to traumatic brain injury," said Claire Pomeroy, vice chancellor for Human Health Sciences and dean of the School of Medicine at UC Davis. "His leadership will advance our commitment to translating scientific insights into new treatments and superior patient care for individuals affected by neurological conditions."
Gorin's earlier investigations led to the first chromosomal mapping of a human muscle disease, McArdle's disease. His subsequent research at UC Davis led to insights into the cellular mechanisms by which neuromuscular activity regulates skeletal muscle metabolism at the genetic level, elucidating that specific types of regenerated muscle acquire a metabolic disorder, making them susceptible to damage during high-intensity exercise.
"This is the decade of the brain," Gorin said. "Neurologists now are employing drugs to treat different types of strokes and can use 'clot busters' during the first three hours to reverse the effects of an acute stroke. We have multiple drugs to treat seizures and can employ electrical neuromodulation or neurosurgery to treat refractory seizures, and several immunomodulatory drugs can slow the progression of multiple sclerosis and certain autoimmune neuropathies.
"Neurology is rapidly undergoing a dramatic and important transition from being a predominantly diagnostic discipline to a much more therapeutically oriented profession," he said. "As a neuropharmacologist, I'm particularly excited about leading our department's move toward this more therapeutically enhanced platform."
Gorin began his academic career as adjunct assistant professor at UC San Francisco, in biochemistry in 1983 and neurology in 1984, following completion of his neurology residency there. He joined the UC Davis Department of Neurology in 1985 and holds a joint appointment in molecular biosciences in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. He collaborates with researchers at the veterinary school, UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and the UC Davis Center for Neuroscience.
At UC Davis, Gorin has been the director of outpatient neurology, vice chair of the Pharmacology-Toxicology Graduate Group and neurology department vice chair. He is a member of the Committee of Research of the UC Davis Academic Senate and is a graduate advisor for neuroscience in the medical/doctoral program. In 2008, Department of Neurology residents awarded him their Outstanding Teaching Award.
Gorin is a member of the American Academy of Neurology, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Academy of Immunotherapy, the American Academy for Cancer Research, the Society for Neuro-Oncology and the American Chemical Society.
He received his undergraduate degree in biochemistry from UC Davis. He earned a combined medical and doctoral degree in biophysics and physiology at the Washington University Medical School in St. Louis, Mo. He completed his internship at the Jewish Hospital of St. Louis.
His annual base salary is $203,600. Additional information about his compensation is available upon request.

Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija both solid in opening day tuneups as Reds beat Cubs 11-1
MESA, Ariz. – Johnny Cueto pitched six shutout innings in a smooth warmup for opening day and Todd Fraizer homered to send the Cincinnati Reds to an 11-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night.
Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija also had a good night in his final outing before the season opener. He gave up one run and five hits in five innings, striking out five.
Cueto had a hit in the third inning and scored on a double by Emmanuel Burriss.
Chicago closer Carlos Marmol had his worst outing of the spring and was booed by the crowd at HoHoKam Stadium. He allowed six runs — four earned — on four hits and a walk without getting an out, snapping his scoreless streak at 6 2-3 innings.

A Designer's Back to Back Home Office and Playlist
As is quite clearly stated on his website, J. Zachary Keenan makes "marks for personal and profitable endeavors". Keenan, who shares a South Minneapolis studio with his wife Caitlin as well as two original Eames chairs, makes marks that include everything from logo, identity and print campaigns, to product design, illustration and even music production. His music tastes cover just as much ground, as you'll hear in this week's Playlist.
What do you listen to while you work? Everything, literally. Motown, garage rock, jazz, shoegaze, folk, Hawaiian, etc. Almost anything that's been released from the Ghostly International label finds it's way into my work day.
How do you listen? A pair of Grado Labs SR-80 headphones--really light, so I can wear 'em for long stretches of time. And the open-air design let's me hear what's going on around me (like my son waking up from his nap in the next room).
Do you have any favorite music websites/providers? After years of organizing and archiving a combination of MP3s and vinyl, I'm almost embarrassed to admit that Spotify has become my one-stop-shop for just about everything.
Does music influence your work? It does. Not necessarily in aesthetics--maybe more so in attitude. Music is always an important part of the studio environment, but never just playing "in the background". I hope that the creative work I produce plays a similar role in people's lives.
Where do you find music recommendations? Who influences your musical taste? Most of my friends and family have really great musical tastes. I think the seasons have the biggest influence on what I'm in the mood to hear.
What song or artist best represents the work you create? Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. I'm not saying that I'm anywhere close to that amazing. But I like to think that I have a similar value in craft and work ethic. And I'll take "timeless" over "new hot" any day.
Ideal place to sit and listen to your playlist: The ideal place to sit and listen to my playlist is an Eames Walnut Stool (in "A-shape" configuration) -- because you may be sitting and listening, and then you might want to get up and dance.

NAJA launches free legal resource hotline
NORMAN, Okla. — The Native American Journalists Association (NAJA), headquartered in Norman, Okla., announced the creation of a free member hotline July 19, which aims to provide educational resources for legal and ethical issues surrounding Native American media.
As part of its mission, NAJA has had a long-standing commitment to encouraging and protecting freedoms of press and information in Indian Country. NAJA also hopes to encourage journalists, tribal leaders and others to approach conflict resolution with more information and understanding.
In the past, attorneys, journalists and other supporters have assisted members with legal questions or issues. Long-time members such as the late Richard LaCourse (Yakama) lobbied for the creation of the hotline, which intends to create dialogue and build stronger connections among journalists and tribes.
NAJA leaders felt that a permanent legal resource should be available to members as an added value to their membership and as a way of encouraging and preserving free press and information in Indian Country.
NAJA members can email [email protected] or call 405-872-6107 any time, day or night, and can expect a response within 48 hours, if at all possible.
By contacting the hotline, NAJA members without current legal representation seeking assistance with pre-publication issues or freedom of information requests can receive free legal advice from attorneys like Matthew E. Kelley of the media law firm of Levine Sullivan Koch & Schulz, LLP, located in Washington, D.C. Other media attorneys around the country are also being recruited to assist.
Kelley is a former news reporter and NAJA representative to UNITY: Journalists for Diversity.
Kevin R. Kemper is the NAJA Legal Hotline Intake Liaison, as well as an assistant professor and diversity coordinator for The School of Journalism at The University of Arizona in Tucson. He serves NAJA as a member, a research fellow and a faculty advisor to the UA student chapter. His service as the NAJA Legal Hotline Intake Liaison and online resource room editor is provided free of charge.
To use the legal hotline, NAJA members may contact Kemper by phone at 520-903-4461 or via email at [email protected]. He will collect member contact information, tribal affiliation, employer and relevant details of the issue, etc., which will be kept confidential.
With the exception of anonymous demographic information reported to NAJA leadership for program usage, all members' information will be protected, unless the member chooses to share it.
"These free press issues must be resolved by the tribes, who are sovereign to determine what they allow," Kemper said. "From decades of experience in journalism and journalism education in Indian Country, I've found that sometimes we have to fight for our rights but usually communicating and listening helps us avoid or even solve problems."
Kemper has a Ph.D., in journalism and a J.D., from the University of Missouri-Columbia. He is also enrolled as an LL.M. student in the Indigenous Peoples Law & Policy program at the James E. Rogers College of Law at UA. He is not licensed to practice law in a state jurisdiction but is a lay advocate in the Pascua Yaqui Tribal Courts in Arizona.
"I believe in journalism and free press and also in tribal sovereignty," Kemper said. "Supporting one is supporting the other."
Kemper will serve as editor for a free online legal resource room at https://www.naja.com/ which will be available in late 2013, upon completion of his related book titled, "Lessons from the Jaguar, the Shark, and the Coyote: The Law and Ethics of Journalism in Indian Country."
The resource room will provide articles, links and material highlighting issues such as freedom of information, defamation, broadband regulation, privacy, protection of sacred knowledge and sites, as well as other Native media-related issues at no charge to any journalist covering Indian Country.
For more information or to contribute to the online resource room, contact Kemper at [email protected] or call 405-872-6107.
About NAJA:
NAJA serves and empowers Native journalists through programs and actions designed to enrich journalism and promote Native cultures. NAJA recognizes Native Americans as distinct peoples based on tradition and culture. In this spirit, NAJA educates and unifies its membership through journalism programs that promote diversity and defends challenges to free press, speech and expression.
NAJA is committed to increasing the representation of Native journalists in mainstream media. NAJA encourages both mainstream and tribal media to attain the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and responsibility.

Is Don Draper the worst dad ever? Or at least the worst dad on "Mad Men"?
Let us consider the evidence: In Sunday's episode, "Favors," Sally Draper catches her father "comforting" his on-again mistress, Sylvia Rosen. This latest trauma arrives just a few weeks after Sally's harrowing encounter with Grandma Ida, which, lest we forget, was made possible by Don.
And that's just this season. Other examples of Don's lousy parenting abound. Already woefully neglectful, Don appears to have been rendered completely useless by his infatuation with Sylvia -- ironic, given how she is continually portrayed as a kind of mother figure. Let's just hope that Sterling, Cooper & Partners really does become the advertising super-agency it has the potential to be. Otherwise, Sally will never be able to afford the years of intensive therapy (or rehab) she's going to need in the very near future.
PHOTOS: How to survive life without 'Mad Men'
It all begins innocently enough. Sally and her friend, Julie, are staying with the Megan and Don during a field trip to the city for a Diplomacy Club meeting. Julie is sexually precocious, or at least pretends to be, and slips a note attributed to Sally under the Rosens' back door.
Horrified to discover what Julie has done, Sally sneaks in to the Rosens' apartment, where her anxiety over the note to Mitchell is immediately forgotten thanks to something approximately a million times more upsetting: the image of her father in flagrante delicto with Sylvia. Sally is unwittingly reenacting the central trauma of her father's severely screwed-up adolescence. The setting and the haircuts are more upscale, but otherwise the situation is remarkably like the one in which teenage Dick Whitman caught his pregnant stepmother having sex with another man. The irony is that Sally is only there in the first place because she doesn't want Mitchell thinking she's some kind of 14-year-old floozy.
It's the latest, and by far the most shocking, in a string of too-much-too-soon moments for little Sally (remember the Codfish Ball?). The worst (and most telling) part of it all is Don's response. Yes, he leaps off of Sylvia and chases after his daughter as soon as he discovers her presence. But once he makes it to the lobby and finds out that she's already sped off in a cab, Don wanders back to the elevator, pauses for a moment, then tentatively walks out the front door. The implication is clear: In a moment of crisis, he can't decide whom to comfort, his daughter or his mistress.
It's hardly the first time we've seen him display such insanely misaligned priorities. In the wake of the Rev. Martin Luther King's assassination, Don was more concerned with Sylvia's well-being than that of his own offspring.
Then, rather than going to either woman, Don chooses to comfort himself with drink. He stumbles home hours later, reeking of booze, just in time for Arnold and Mitchell to stop by to say thanks in person. "You are the sweetest man," declares Megan, having misinterpreted Don's string-pulling as a selfless act of protest -- a sign that, perhaps, she and her husband are actually on the same page about the war and that the gulf between them isn't quite as big as she'd thought. Likewise, Arnold sees the act as one friendship.
Apparently the only person who truly seems to understand Don's motive is Sylvia. When he tries to explain away the favor as a gesture of parental empathy, she isn't fooled. "I know that's not why you're doing it," she says. Exactly, Sylvia. Time to run for the hills.
The question now, of course, is what poor Sally will do. Coming clean about what she saw will almost certainly hasten the end of father's marriage, which, in turn, means her losing Megan, possibly the most loving and accepting adult in her life. But the other option, keeping the affair a secret and thereby being a party to Don's deception, is probably worse for Sally in the long run, particularly given the psychological trauma of catching her father copulating with his mistress. Leaving an event like that unprocessed is a great way to ensure that history repeats itself.
PHOTOS: On the set of 'Mad Men'
Knowing Don, he's likely to proceed as if his pathetic explanation about "comforting" Sylvia was adequate; knowing "Mad Men," his lies are likely to come back to haunt him
The theme of this episode, in case you missed it, is that that few good deeds come without ulterior motives, and that they nearly always have unintended consequences. Exhibit A: Bob Benson. For weeks, he's had us all wondering. Is he a serial killer stalking his next victim? An undercover reporter writing an expose about the advertising business? Or perhaps Peggy's time-traveling love child?
The truth, it turns out, is even more far-fetched. Bob Benson is just a guy with a crush on Pete Campbell -- balding, paunchy, double-breasted-vest-wearing Pete Campbell.
But let's set aside the issue of plausibility for the time being. We know now that Bob's gesture of kindness to Pete – recommending a nurse, Manolo, for his senile mother – was intended, like Don's help for Mitchell, as a kind of romantic overture. Indeed, even when confronted about Manolo, Bob's explanation sounds more like a pass. "Couldn't it be that if someone took care of you, very good care of you, if this person would do anything for you, if your well-being was his only thought, is it impossible that you might begin to feel something for him? When it's true love, it doesn't matter who it is," he says, pressing his knee against Pete's.
PHOTOS: 'Mad Men' season 6 premiere
Peggy's storyline this week puts a (mostly) comic spin on the theme of favors. She calls up Stan in the middle of the night, offering him a little something in return for disposing of a maimed rat; he declines. For any woman who's ever been single and lived in a rundown New York City apartment on her own (ahem), it's a hilarious but painfully familiar moment. Being single is one thing, but having to fend off filthy vermin the middle of the night just in order to sleep? That's one indignity too many.
But the rodent escapades serve a more serious purpose: reminding us how far Peggy has come over the years. This point is underscored when Mrs. Campbell mistakes her for Trudy, dredging up the very deeply repressed memory of her secret love child. With "Mad Men" heading into its final season, the biggest question I have -- after Don's fate, of course -- is how the Peggy-Pete storyline will be resolved. Their relationship, and the child which resulted from it, is mentioned so infrequently that at times it feels like "Mad Men" has forgotten about it.
What's fascinating is that, despite all the changes in her life since then -- she's now a copy chief with at least three men in the office crushing on her -- Peggy's odd connection with Pete remains intact. "Please tell me you don't pity me, because you really know me," he says over drinks. "I do," Peggy responds, tears welling in her eyes.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. One of the most exciting things about this season has been the way that Matthew Weiner and his writers have deployed all of Elisabeth Moss' considerable talent. Her two big scenes this week are shining examples of that, as she shifts with ease from achingly poignant to awkwardly hilarious (e.g. "Did she go to China for that tea?"). Whoever Peggy ends up with -- Pete, Stan, Ted or even Don -- we hope he brings out the best in her the way "Mad Men" has for Moss.
Stray thoughts:
--Anyone else notice the giant ceramic cocker spaniel in Pete's office?
--Loved Peggy's little blue-and-white-striped number.
--Interesting how the back doors at the Draper and Rosen residences have almost become supporting characters this season on "Mad Men." The premiere episode was called "The Doorway." Make of this what you will.
--In all the madness, Sally didn't even get the note back. Let's hope Sylvia had the sense to throw it out.
--It's worth noting that Don's favor for Sylvia is only made possible by help from Ted, who's got his own, very clearly stated ulterior motive: winning Ocean Spray.
--"You're not interested? Then why are you using your sexy voice?"

Engineers Week 2012
The National Engineers Week Foundation kicks off its annual event on Feb. 19 with a theme focusing on the global population reaching 7 billion people in 2011.
Engineers Week 2012 (Feb. 19-25), supported by the National Engineers Week Foundation, is focusing its theme on the global population passing 7 billion in 2011. The theme is: 7 billion people. 7 billion dreams. 7 billion chances for engineers to turn dreams into reality.
To help turn the dream into a reality, one of the focuses the foundation has had is to focus on kids and to encourage those who might be interested in engineering. Promoting engineering, especially at an early age, is considered vital in a field that needs to grow to help the world develop and grow.
Among the events the foundation has planned include Discover Engineering Family Day on Feb. 18, 2012, which is held annually at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.
Another event is Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day on Feb. 23, 2012, which encourages female engineers to mentor girls in grades K-12 interested in engineering, which has been a predominantly male field. The event celebrated its 10th anniversary.
The foundation also holds an annual event recognizing some of the most promising young engineers in the field with the New Faces of Engineering program, which is entering its ninth year. For the first time, the program will focus on the best and brightest engineering students who have made an impact in the field beyond the classroom.
For parents and educators looking to encourage children who may have an interest in engineering, check out this article from Control Engineering's website.

Mishawaka, IN (PRWEB) January 18, 2013
For many of the 974 cyclists who took part in the 4th Annual Bike Michiana for Hospice, it was a great day to get out on a bike and ride for a good cause. For others, it was a way to give back to an organization that had been there for a loved one at a time when care and support was most needed.
In 2011, Bruce Foster rode in his first Bike Michiana for Hospice, held in South Bend, IN. "I'd never really ridden before but I thought I could do the 40-mile ride," he said. That year, he rode in memory of his wife Sandy, a Center for Hospice Care patient who passed away on December 17th, 2010. "I wanted to take care of her myself," he said, "but towards the end, I needed help and they were there with the equipment, the supplies, everything. They told us what to expect through the process and made everything more comfortable for me and my daughters."
His mother helped his 2011 fundraising efforts by getting pledges and money. "She got about $1,500," he said. In April that year, she became a CHC patient after a heart attack and a diagnosis of congestive heart failure. "The caregivers were awesome. They had such a good relationship with her." After she passed away at Thanksgiving 2011, Bruce decided to take his commitment to Bike Michiana for Hospice to the next level. He bought a new bike and began training over the winter in anticipation of riding the 100-mile route. "I didn't know if I could do it, but decided to give it a shot."
He also decided to give raising $5,000 for the ride a shot as well. "I figured if my mom could raise $1,500 for my ride then I should give it a shot." His shot hit the mark and then some. With the help of family and friends around the country, Bruce raised $6,330.
Eric and Mark Streeter rode the longest route of the event – 125 miles – in memory of their father, Will Streeter, an avid cyclist who was a CHC patient. Will Streeter passed away in April of 2012 from ocular melanoma. Up until two weeks before his death he was working on the design of the cycling jersey his sons (and other supporters) would be wearing.
Will's philosophy was to have a plan for getting from Point A to Point B but the biggest part of the ride was the trip in between. He passed that along to Eric and Mark. "It's definitely about the experience," Mark said. "Being first isn't the important thing, it's about doing something."
Registration for the 2013 event is now open. Early registration is just $35 - children under 12 ride free. Six routes, from 3.5 miles to 125 miles, venture through the scenic beauty of South Bend - home to the University of Notre Dame - and the surrounding Michiana area. The various routes take riders by forests, gently rolling hills, lakes, vineyards and wineries. Visit http://www.bikemichianaforhospice.org to learn more or register.

Russian president Vladimir Putin signed into law a controversial bill Friday that bans Americans from adopting Russian children.
The immediate effect of the law prevents 52 children from joining pre-assigned parents in the US.
Americans adopted close to 1,000 Russian children last year, according to U.S. State Department figures. More than 60,000 Russian children have been adopted by Americans over the course of the past 20 years.
The harsh measure was condemned as "politically motivated" by the State Department, and widely viewed as retaliation for U.S. legislation relating to the case of Russian corruption lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.
Plus: Russia Moves to Ban American Adoptions
Magnitsky died in a Russian prison in 2009 after being arrested by the officers he was investigating over fraud. Outcry in the U.S. led to a ban on all officials implicated in the case from travelling to, or holding bank accounts in, the US.
"The Russian government's politically motivated decision will reduce adoption possibilities for children who are now under institutional care," the State Department said in a statement it released Friday.
"We are further concerned about statements that adoptions already underway may be stopped and hope that the Russian government would allow those children who have already met and bonded with their future parent to finish the necessary legal procedures so that they can join their families."
Plus: Family Ties: An Adoption Story
The Russian measure, which will go into effect on January 1, also bars any political activities by nongovernmental organizations receiving funding from the United States, if such activities could affect Russian interests.
It also imposes sanctions against U.S. officials thought to have violated human rights.

LOS ANGELES — Tyler Toffoli and Linden Vey spent the first month of the season as highly successful linemates in the minors. Now that they're roommates with the Los Angeles Kings, they're still making good things happen together.
Toffoli had two goals and an assist in his third game back from the minors, and Mike Richards had a goal and two assists in the Los Angeles Kings' 5-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night.
While Toffoli had the first three-point game of his short Kings career, Vey earned his first NHL point with an early assist in Los Angeles' 10th victory in 14 games.
"It's good to get the win, especially with the rivalry between the two teams the last couple of years," said Vey, who made his NHL debut Thursday. "It was an intense game. … I think Tof and I bring a little bit of energy and excitement. We're new to the league, so we have a lot of excitement coming into the game. We just need to keep rolling."
Toffoli saw playoff action during Los Angeles' run to the Western Conference finals last summer, and he teamed up with Vey on the AHL's Manchester Monarchs last month after failing to make the Kings' roster out of training camp. Both were recalled a week ago to fill in for injured veterans Jeff Carter and Jarret Stoll.
Although the youngsters are temporary solutions to the Kings' injury problems, Toffoli and Vey are making a strong case for more permanent jobs in the near future.
"We're pretty good friends, so it makes things a whole lot easier," Toffoli said. "We have each other to hang out, and at the same time, all of the guys have been great helping us out and making us feel really welcome."
Richards, Justin Williams and Toffoli scored in a 2:33 span midway through the second period for the Kings, chasing Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo in the process.
Jonathan Quick made 25 saves, and Jordan Nolan scored an early goal on Vey's pass in a game that turned out to be a showcase for the Kings' two rookies.
"It's exciting for them, and they bring that enthusiasm into games," said Richards, who has eight points in four games. "They have the confidence to make plays, and they're both smart passers."
Dan Hamhuis scored in the Canucks' first game against Los Angeles as division rivals since 1998. Luongo stopped 14 shots before getting pulled after the Kings' fourth goal midway through the second period.
"I thought in the first two periods we had surges early, but we couldn't score," Vancouver coach John Tortorella said. "It's a 5-1 game and you think you got spanked, but I thought Quick made some really important saves at key times. We had some breakdowns, and it's in the back of our net."
The Sedin twins were held scoreless for the second straight night on the Canucks' four-game trip to each of the reconfigured Pacific Division's four U.S.-based teams.
"We had a few chances in the first period, but Quick played good," Daniel Sedin said. "We didn't play terrible the first two periods, but we have to be better. We made a few mistakes and it cost us. They've got a very good team, for sure, and they're well-coached. But we didn't play our best game."
The Kings played without three veteran regulars due to injuries, and left wing Kyle Clifford went down with an undisclosed injury early in the game. Carter sat out his third consecutive game, while Stoll missed his second straight and defenceman Matt Greene was scratched with an undisclosed injury.
After a wide-open few minutes in the first period, Nolan put the Kings ahead in a sequence that started when Hamhuis tumbled and lost the puck at Los Angeles' blue line. Vey, playing his second NHL game, nimbly deked longtime Kings forward Brad Richardson on the rush before feeding Nolan for his third goal.
Toffoli scored late in the period after two exceptional passes by Richards and Drew Doughty, who found the youngster with a cross-ice pass on a wobbling puck.
Hamhuis scored in the second period with a long shot after a defensive scramble by the Kings. Richards answered 68 seconds later with a goal in front of Luongo, and the veteran goalie's defence left him helpless again when Williams scored 1:46 after that.
Eddie Lack replaced Luongo, but the Canucks again abandoned defence and gave up a gaping 2-on-1 break to Toffoli and Richards, who exchanged the puck until Toffoli scored his second goal.
NOTES: After playing eight of their last nine at home, the Kings open a four-game trip Tuesday in Buffalo. … Richardson spent the past five seasons in the Kings organization, winning a Stanley Cup ring while playing in 13 games during the 2012 playoffs. The agitating forward signed a two-year deal with Vancouver as a free agent last summer. … Los Angeles native Bryan Cranston visited the Kings' dressing room after the game.

FOREO's story began with the Luna™, a cleansing brush inspired by what was missing in the market. In place of abrasive nylon bristles that could potentially lead to over exfoliation and counter-productivity, FOREO introduced the world to a silicone brush that channels upto 8,000 transdermal sonic pulsations. These sonic pulsations slough off dead skin cells and remaining traces of make-up, taking 99.5% of dirt and oil with it and boosting the absorption of your skincare while prepping men's skin for shaving. The silicone brush touch-points deliver a deep and gentle cleanse and are softer, smoother and far less abrasive than alternatives. Meet good-looking cleansing brushes that are waterproof and around 35 times more hygienic than competitors.
Unlike some beauty brands, FOREO does not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.

After partnering with Greenwave and the Sea Life Trust in 2015 to build restorative ocean farms and sponsor endangered sea turtles, the good people at FOREO partnered with the Ocean Conservation in early 2016 to bring you the limited edition Save The Sea product line, customizing the beloved Luna Mini 2 and promising to donate 100% of net proceeds towards the restoration of marine ecosystems.

So nice to see your family for Thanksgiving! The restaurants sound amazing- I will have to check them out. And I agree that the red lips are gorg!
I have not been in the states or with family for the past 3 Thanksgivings and I have at least 1 more to go (maybe more if I get a job here?!). Unlike years past, this year I stayed in CH and had not 1 but 2 Thanksgivings with friends- and though turkey was nowhere to be found, they were still wonderful and there was plenty to be thankful for :)

Nice! I love it when my folks come to visit - they usually insist on staying in a hotel for most of the stay. My mother-in-law? Well, thats another story! She's soooo lovely, but she NEVER SHUTS UP! By the time she's gone, my brain is fried. When she's not talking, she's singing, when she's not singing, she's humming and when she's not humming, she's whistling. Silence is a rare commodity and only happens when she's asleep. Glad your holiday went without a hitch!

VC seeks PD chief applicants
As of Wednesday, the city has received 11 applications for the open Valley City Chief of Police position.
City Administrator David Schelkopf reported that the opening was posted ten days ago, but that no local candidates have applied for the job so far. All current applicants are from out of state.
"It looks like a couple others are talking about it locally, I just had a city officer come in and talk to me about it yesterday, so I'm pretty certain there will be local people applying for this position," he said. 'We're going to have a large group of people to look at."
Schelkopf said the Chief of Police position is going to be posted until March 31, and the interview process will start in April.
"We'll go through and pick out anywhere between six and ten candidates that make us want to take the next step," he said. "Then there will be a phone conversation with those candidates, and we'll boil it down to three or four."
In-person interviews will take place at that point. Schelkopf said a hiring committee will be formed which will include himself, at least two city commissioners and other city managers.
Valley City has been without an officially appointed police chief for six months, following the retirement of former chief Dean Ross.
According to the City's job posting, job requirements for the police chief include supervising personnel, directing overall operations, preparing the departmental budget and coordinating with other city agencies.
Qualified applicants should have a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, Psychology or a related field, and five years of progressively responsible experience as a police officer, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
A State Peace Officer's License, a valid North Dakota Driver's license no later than 6 months after hiring, as well as First Responder and Firearm Certifications are required.

Interview: Paul Abercrombie - Organic, Shaken and Stirred Straight Up Cocktails and Spirits
Times have changed and the choices keep growing. With all the newly available organic spirits on the market, the eco-conscious drinker now has plenty of sustainably sourced, pesticide-free cocktail options.
Inspired by this fresh trend, Tampa-based author Paul Abercrombie set out to gather some of the lushest, tastiest all-organic cocktail recipes he could find. He put several dozen of them together for Organic, Shaken and Stirred (The Harvard Common Press, 2009; $19.95).
Earlier this week I attended the NYC launch party for the book at the East Village restaurant Counter, sampled a couple of organic drinks, and later sat down with Paul to discuss this toast-worthy project.
Choosing the Recipes
The recipes featured in Organic, Shaken and Stirred are plucked from bars and restaurants all over the U.S., and also include a few from Canada and Europe. Temporarily transforming his family's kitchen "into kind of a weird bar" with bottles and tools stashed everywhere (Paul is quick to praise the patience of his wife and son in this project), he systematically test-drove several hundred recipes. He eventually narrowed things down to 84 fresh and delicious cocktails.
The criteria for his choices? Taste was tantamount, but Paul also made sure that each would be easy for the home mixologist to prepare, and that the fresh fruits, vegetables and sweeteners called for would readily available at national grocery chains such as Whole Foods.
When asked if there were any unexpected discoveries along the way, Paul said "definitely the Jessica Rabbit [a concoction containing crystallized ginger, carrot juice, vodka, sweet vermouth, basil, and simple syrup]. Just reading the recipe, I was a little doubtful because of the carrot juice, but it turned out to be great."
Stocking the Organic Bar
As new brands continue to hit the market, the organic spirit world continues to expand. Right now fully organic options are available for gin, vodka, rum, cachaça and tequila. Whiskey choices are more limited, with a few companies offering organic scotch, and distillers such as Maker's Mark making sustainably produced although not 100 percent organic bourbon. Other eco-friendly, though not certified organic options include VeeV açaí, a spirit made from a healthful berry native to the Amazon rain forest and produced by a certified carbon-neutral company.
The Future of Cocktails
This new fresh fruit and vegetable-laden generation of cocktails is a far cry from the stiff Mad Men-era kind that many modern, health-conscious drinkers often steer away from. Paul points out that for someone put off by the "sinful" and old-fashioned "throwback" image of mixed drinks, the organic kind can be the "gateway drug" to enjoying cocktails in general. But he's quick to add that such a drink "needs to be a little sinful. Otherwise it's not really a cocktail."
Milk of Millennia
makes one drink
3 thin slices peeled organic fresh ginger
6 organic mint leaves
1/2 ounce organic agave nectar
1 1/2 ounces cachaça (Paul used Cuca Fresca)
3/4 ounce açaí spirit (Paul used VeeV)
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed organic lemon juice
organic orange twist
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the ginger and mint with the agave nectar until roughly mashed. Add the cachaca, acai spirit, and lemon juice, and fill the shaker with ice cubes. Shake vigorously, then strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass. Garnish by floating the orange twist on the surface of the drink.
makes one drink
1/4 cup organic snap peas, ends trimmed
1 organic lime, cut into 8 wedges
1 ounce organic simple syrup
1 1/2 ounces organic gin (Paul used Bluecoat)
Coarsely ground organic black pepper
In a cocktail shaker or tall glass, combine the snap peas, lime wedges, and simple syrup and muddle thoroughly. Add the gin and a handful of crushed ice and stir, then pour the mixture, unstrained, into a rocks glass. Garnish lightly with pepper (one crank of the pepper mill is plenty).

SOURCE: Hemp, Inc.
November 05, 2012 05:11 ET
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Nov 5, 2012) - Hemp, Inc.'s (PINKSHEETS: HEMP) (www.hemp.com) subsidiary Marijuana, Inc. announced today a 20-year agreement for the worldwide marketing rights to cannabinoid medicinals using a uniquely effective and safe delivery system. Rather than delivering through digestion or the lungs, the proprietary system uses sublingual delivery by way of a pleasant tasting lozenge.
THC is measured by adding the level of THC and THCA together. This leads to confusing results as the THCA is not as bio-available as the THC. The proprietary system used to develop the lozenges uses a completely natural decarboxylation process to convert more THCA into THC prior to lozenge formation. By using a natural process to transform more THCA into THC, the active ingredients are much more bio-available and begin to work faster and last longer.
The contract calls for exclusive worldwide marketing rights to their rapid onset products derived from cannabis or hemp and containing THC and/or CBD. The terms of exclusivity are for 3 years and rights to market non-exclusively continue for 20 years. Marketing efforts will begin in Canada.
The initial product rollout features a patent pending coconut oil based lozenge that has been tested in Canada, with results showing that the lozenges provide a rapid onset time. The lozenge enables a precise quantity dosage, which is the systemic delivery of drugs through the mucosal membrane lining the floor of the mouth, and is perhaps the most preferred method to patient and clinician alike.
President David Tobias stated, "We feel that the coconut based lozenge is a superior method of delivery. Governments shun inhalation, even vaporizing, and the side effects may not be noticed for 20 years. Edibles incur first pass effect and potential pre-system elimination in the GI tract, and many tinctures contain a significant amount of alcohol, which can be problematic for people with allergies or addiction problems and are not as concentrated as other forms of herbal extracts that are typically about 25 times more concentrated than an equivalent tincture. Furthermore, we can adjust the cannabinoid profile for our lozenges to provide a wide range of beneficial effects."
CEO Bruce Perlowin continued, "We are confident that our new lozenges represent the most acceptable and yet effective delivery system available, providing patients with safe, measured, doses of natural cannabis extracts. This is the product that will trump everything else in the emerging trillion dollar cannabis industry. Just the US pharmaceutical rights alone are expected to bring up to 800 million dollars."
HEMP, INC.'s TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
CEO of Hemp, Inc., Bruce Perlowin, is positioning the company as a leader with a social and environmental mission at its core. In fact, he wanted to, consciously, found a business with non-financial goals that weren't an after-thought, but are part of its DNA.

How the Lincoln Patriots Punched Their Way to the District Final
Just when you think you have all the answers, the Lincoln Patriots change the questions. After last night's victory over the Washington Warriors in District 2, I took a step back and looked at the Patriots season.
Heading into the year they were ranked first in our ESPN 99.1/KELO/KBHB Radio Poll. The idea of having Addison Park and a lot of talent around made them seem like the popular pick. Three straight losses to start the season had a lot of us questioning.
The Patriots battled back to a 4-5 record with a bit of hope ahead. The season was right in the middle, they were still in a good position to get on top of District 2, and they would have games against the other Sioux Falls schools ahead.
What they didn't envision was a five game losing streak starting with Washington on January 17th, and ending with Watertown on February 7th. During that stretch they also lost games to Sioux City East, a 2OT loss to Washington, and Roosevelt.
Lincoln finished the season strong going 4-2. The combined total for losses to Roosevelt and Rapid City Stevens was seven. The five point decision to Roosevelt was much closer than the score indicated as well.
Heading into the play-in game against Harrisburg, there was a different feel to the team. Having arrived to Lincoln a good hour before the start of the broadcast, the team was wearing NBA/College jerseys during a shoot around. They looked much looser and more comfortable. It paid off as they defeated Harrisburg 77-51.
With how close Lincoln and Washington played against each other this season, I figured last night's contest would be just as good. The Warriors jumped out quick in the 1st leading 5-0, but Lincoln answered back with a 6-0 run. Late in the game, Caleb Rector (who was quiet throughout the game) hit an incredible three pointer from just on the outside of the center circle with three seconds left on the shot clock. On the next possession, Rector came up with a steal that essentially sealed the game for the Patriots. Lincoln won 65-54.
One of the biggest differences I've noticed in their last two games is the shift of Addison Park. In previous contest, it wasn't a surprise to see Park hanging out near the three point line. In the game against Harrisburg, and Washington, Park was more in the post establishing position. Having Park and Malik Dunn down low and working the ball outside-in allowed Lincoln to free up Calvin Krause and Kaleb Johnson on the wings. It has paid dividends for the Patriots and their scoring.
Most importantly, the Patriots have gained momentum at the most crucial time of the year. I can't imagine many teams being excited to have to play them right now.
Lincoln now has the opportunity to punch their ticket to the Class AA State Tournament with a victory over Yankton on Friday night. For a complete look at the district schedule click here.

Friends List Revamp Catching Sony's Attention
The latest PlayStation 3 firmware update, 3.00, brought with it a slew of good and bad tweaks and additions. One of the main aspects of the update was a revamp of the PSN friends list. Now, large gray boxes encompass the names' of your favorite PSN friends. Many have been vocal about this aesthetically ugly change, and SCEE's PS3 Brand Manager, Mark Bowles, admitted that "updates to firmware don't always suit everyone's tastes."
However, don't fret! The friends list, according to Bowles, is being "looking into based on your comments." In addition, he added, "We really do appreciate the feedback you guys give us, both positive and negative."
We here at PlayStation LifeStyle have to agree with the general consensus, as we believe the boxes don't exactly fit the sleek look of the XMB. Certainly, we hope Sony addresses this nagging issue by making this interface adjustment optional.

Back Hairstyles Postpartum Hair - 5 Most Popular And Easy To Care Postpartum Hairstyles For Women
After being blessed with a luxurious shine, full body and fast growing hair during pregnancy due to new hormones, it can be tempting to chop it all off postpartum. After having your baby your hair may dull and break off or fall out around 3 months due to changing hormones and beyond that, you'll want to get a new hairstyle to match the new woman you are! A new style can re-vamp your life and restore some self confidence while you navigate your new role and learn how to keep yourself pampered and feeling good in the mix of responsibilities.
Many postpartum minds default straight to a short cut, quickly and impulsively get it done, and then grow to regret it while waiting, what feels like forever, for their hair to grow long again. While cutting it short may grant you the short term satisfaction you may desperately want postpartum, consider some of these salon services for low maintenance styles that can give you the change-up you're looking for.
1.A Medium Length Asymmetrical Bob This haircut is edgy and awesome! It's commonly cut shortest right at the shoulder, while the other side measures 2-3 inches past, but it can be modified longer and have the same modern, cool effect. You can personalize this more by adding a fun peek-a-boo color beneath or dye it all one rich color and just box dye your roots at home when they grow in. This cut can still be long enough to fit a pony tail or sweep behind the ear and these two dying options insure you won't need to be at the salon frequently to maintain your color.
2.Long Hair Ombre or Balayage This popular celebrity look is for those who cherish their length and want to look different without compromising it with a haircut. Because your ends are bleached to look sun kissed and your roots go untouched, this type of coloring needs virtually no salon maintenance at all once it's done. Many have had success doing it themselves with thorough YouTube tutorials and specifically Revlon's Frost 'N Glow kits. It's a low risk change that reflects a sunny, fun, youthful mom even if you've been cooped up during your maternity leave.
3.Medium Length Body Wave Perm As best seen on Julianne Hough, cutting your hair to medium length and perming a subtle wave can give you a fun and sexy, tousled look. This is super low maintenance, just use some leave-in conditioner and scrunch a little, air or blow dry and you're set!
4.Bring Back "The Rachel" It's about that time, the 90s will be coming back around the corner. The Rachel was made famous by Jennifer Aniston's character on the hit show Friends. It's a sweeping bang, layered haircut that frames the face and adds a lot of body to your hair, especially when teased with a cute headband or when you "blow out" with a hairdryer and round brush. Style it many ways or not at all! It can convey sophistication and maturity, if that's the look you're going for. Young it up with highlights!
5.Pastel Colored Dip Dye Pink for a girl or blue for a boy, take advantage of this low maintenance trend and celebrate your new bundle with this hairstyle! On both brunettes (bleach first) or blondes, a pale color "dipped" at the ends has been all the rage recently and many have been successful attempting this at home, like the balayage style. If you can't commit or want to try it first, look for a good semi-permanent dye or try hair chalk.
