Hague: Miliband calling for debate 'out of desperation'
William Hague has claimed Ed Miliband is only calling for a television debate with David Cameron out of desperation to stop the election slipping away from him.
The Commons leader faced down MPs' anger over the Prime Minister's "indefensible" and "craven" refusal to debate one on one with the Labour leader, stressing that former prime minister Tony Blair refused to do so altogether.
Hague hit back, "I think, of what the leader of the Opposition was saying yesterday when he was calling for a debate, which means 'I am desperate because the election is slipping away from me and I have nothing else to ask about at all'. That is the translation of that."
Ukraine crisis: Costs to Russia will get 'even higher'
Russia will face more sanctions if they continue to "destablise" Ukraine, William Hague has said.
The former Foreign Secretary told the BBC that Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing a "huge long-term price" for his country's alleged role in supporting separatists in eastern Ukraine.
"The costs to Russia over this behaviour are mounting and will get even higher," he told the BBC.
"If Russia continues to destabilise Ukraine there will be higher sanctions."
Mr Hague said the UK was not planning to send arms to the Ukrainian government following calls from ex-defence secretary Liam Fox.
"We are not planning to send arms to Ukraine - we want to see a diplomatic solution. You have to think very carefully before you send arms into a conflict."
Tories unveil plans for 'English votes for English laws'
The Conservative Party laid out its proposals for "English votes for English laws" today.
House of Commons leader William Hague said the planned devolution of more powers to the Scottish government creates "imbalances" that do not favour English MPs.
ITV News' Political Editor Tom Bradby reports:
Scottish MPs 'could block English laws' under new plans
William Hague has unveiled plans that would see English MPs set their own country's income tax rates.
The Commons Leader said the reforms are a "fundamental matter of fairness".
ITV News Political Correspondent Carl Dinnen explains the plans:
Hague 'English votes' plans face backbench battle
William Hague tried to draw Labour further into the English votes debate as he accused them of "betraying" voters as he set out the Conservative blueprint for delivering "English votes for English laws."
However the proposals still face a tough battle with some in the Conservative party who believe the plans are too weak and would make the situation worse by providing nationalist MPs with a "battering ram against the Union".
Under the Tory manifesto proposals - which Mr Hague is seeking to put to a Commons vote before May's general election - policies affecting England alone would be scrutinised by a panel made up only of MPs representing English seats.
A "grand committee" of all English MPs would then have to approve the legislation. Welsh MPs would be included on matters not devolved to the Cardiff Assembly.
A large section of Tory backbenchers are angry that the final - Third Reading - vote on Bills would still include MPs from the rest of the UK, in what they say is a watering down of David Cameron's promise to act.
Ukip slam English votes 'back room stitch-up' plans
The deupty leader of Ukip has slammed Conservative palns for English MPs to be given vetoes.
Paul Nuttall says the proposals panders to the culture of "back room stitch-ups."
We cannot have the tail wagging the dog.
It would create chaos where one group of MPs were being pitted against another. It would be cleaner and fairer for English only issues to be voted on by MPs in English constituencies.
It is likely that after the General Election there will be more SNP members of parliament sitting in Westminster whose concern will be Scotland and not what is best for England. In that situation these plans would add layers of process and confusion to legislating and lead to back room deals being made far away from the voters eyes.
Why are the Tories are climbing down for English only votes? Is there already a back room stitch-up?
Conservatives plans for English MPs 'veto' on English laws
MPs representing Scottish constituencies would be stripped of the power to "impose" income tax rate changes on the rest of the UK under a parliamentary shake-up planned by the Conservatives.
It would give an effective veto to MPs for seats in England - and Wales on some policies - over matters that are decided north of the border by the Scottish Parliament, but would still require a majority of all UK MPs to pass legislation.
Under the preferred option, only English MPs would consider the amending stages of legislation that relates only to England and have a veto via a procedure known as a legislative consent motion.
English votes for English laws 'would be fair all round'
William Hague has described how English votes for English laws would work in the UK Parliament.
The former Foreign Secretary told Good Morning Britain that: "If we're proposing to change the level of health spending in England then that does have an affect on Scotland and that is for all MPs to vote on. But if we're voting on how to share out the health spending in England in the different parts of England that should require the agreement of the English MPs."
Hague: Labour have learnt nothing from their mistakes
William Hague said Labour have "learnt nothing from their mistakes" as he helped launch a scathing attack on the party ahead of May's election.
"They are committed from the start to more wasteful spending, more borrowing and higher taxes," the Leader of the Commons said.
"It is in their DNA," Hague added.
Returning British jihadists 'could dissuade others from joining IS'
British jihadists returning to the UK from Syria after becoming disillusioned with the extremists could be used to dissuade others from going to join the conflict, William Hague said.
The Leader of the Commons said authorities would be prepared to assist former-fighters, if satisfied as to their "good intentions".
His comments come amid reports that some Britons who left groups like Islamic State (IS) fear returning home in case they face arrest.
Speaking on BBC1's The Andrew Marr Show Mr Hague said:
Our top priority has to be the protection of the security of the people of this country, and that is why we will take action where we think people could be dangerous. But the Home Office and the police and the health service are also working together on what we can do to assist those people who come back with good intentions, but of course we have to be sure that they do have good intentions. We haven't had a lot of those people coming back yet and saying they want to be of assistance, but if they do well then of course the Government, the police, the National Health Service, will work with those people and help them to recover and to assist others.

ANyone going? I cant get teh maps to open-any suggestions? How are the hills and support? Any advice would be appreciated-TIA!
ANyone going? I cant get teh maps to open-any suggestions? How are the hills and support? Any advice would be appreciated-TIA!
I was thinking about doing it. The 80 mile route goes southwest to Kendalia and then west to Sisterdale. Before it gets into Comfort it goes north to Luckenback and then takes 1888 and River Road all the way back to Blanco. The 60 mile route is similar but turns north at Sisterdale to 1888.
I've never done it nor ridden on these roads so can't comment on the route or support. My guess is that it is somewhat hilly.
I'm just signing up for it now, though I don't know anyone else riding in it either.
I'm not too worried about the hills, although there's not much opportunity for that here in Houston. I am a little concerned about finding a place to stay overnight, however. All of the State Park's campsites are full (big surprise there ) and booked for the weekend, though I was hoping I could just wander in and find a friendly group willing to accommodate an additional camper.
I rode it last year. Hot and hilly. Had to sag out at 38 miles when I blew a tire, and didn't have a replacement. If you plan to ride the 50, you might want to rethink that and do the 30 instead, depending upon your climbing ability and stamina. Nice Hill Country scenery, though.

We had the same problem-we finally found an RV hookup at Miller Creek RV at 281 and 290. Its about 7 miles north, but they seem nice. The people at Blanco Settlement were not nice at all, and not accomodating about a late checkout! I called the Brewery to inquire about parking with an RV and they seemed to think parking will be an issue as well. So, we will hook up there I guess. If you are just camping, I really didnt find any other areas, but Guadalupe S.P. still had water only campsites available as of a few days ago.
Good Luck!
You're not terribly far from the beautiful Pedernales Falls SP.
I rode a bunch of the roads around J City, Blanco, Kendalia and Sisterdale. They were some of my favorite in the state.
oh man.... I was not prepared for those hills at aaaaall.
Actually, I take that back. I did prepare for them, mainly by eating all carbs, all the time. I had to walk up a hill or two, plus a mechanical problem forced me to take a SAG for about a mile. (My front bearings were overheating). But I survived the 80mile route, with enough energy to drive to Kerrville and party the rest of my ass off till 3am!
Now the Houston landscape looks like it's been leveled while I was away. I can't wait to test out these new legs on Washington Ave.
The problem was the elevation map was taken every 1/5th of a mile-you might never know they were coming, or how bad they might be! We found a few suprise hills too! I actually saw one guy just fall over on a hill-scared the &^## out of me! But, cant wait for next year to do it again! Photographer was awesome too and ordered some photos!

Every celebration is representative of a past event which may have happened on the 'date' some years, months or days back. The occasion of Valentines Day on February 14 is said to have originated as a Christian religious festival honoring a Saint. This is another reason for it being referred to by the name of Saint Valentine's Day or St. Valentines Day. Its origins date back to ancient Rome of 270 AD. It was due to the rebellion and sacrifice of a catholic priest with the same name that this day came to be celebrated. Saint Valentine supported lovers or couples in love by getting them married against the wishes of the then Emperor Claudius.
Here is some lovely valentine's day 3d Wallpaper collection to spice up their desktop with love.

William Lane Craig is not only one of the world's leading Christian apologists but he has actually made outstanding original contributions to philosophy. Yes, Craig publishes popular-level books. Unlike Dawkins, however, who in 20-years plus has been purely a popularizer (of Darwinian evolution, materialist science, and atheism), Craig continues to publish at the highest levels of the academy addressing scholars of the highest caliber (and gaining their respect). Dawkins, by contrast, increasingly appeals to the lowest common denominator. It's in this light that Dawkins glib dismissal of Craig should be viewed.

Tucker Carlson is convinced he's already running.
So am I.
Romney dropped out of the presidential race in February, but he never went away. He quickly became a regular guest on cable news, started a political action committee (which, according to National Review, has already given away more than $200,000 in donations), and this fall began stumping in earnest for various Republican candidates, including John McCain.
In the past four days, Romney has hit nearly a dozen states on behalf of the McCain campaign, but really on his own behalf. This is what groundwork looks like when it's being laid.
It's the oldest cliche in politics that the next campaign starts the day after the election, and this year that is especially true on the Republican side. Republicans hate chaos and uncertainty, but after eight years of an unpopular administration,they no longer have the luxury of an orderly succession. As one Republican consultant said to me the other day, come Wednesday morning the party will resemble post-Soviet Afghanistan: "Everybody's going to declare themselves warlord.â€
Still, Carlson thinks Romney will have to wrestle the nomination away from Palin…
At this point, Sarah Palin would seem to have the most powerful arsenal. While Democrats tend to revile their losing candidates, Republicans revere theirs. Losing to Obama and Biden won't destroy Palin's reputation within the party. It might enhance it. Palin also has the advantage of being world famous, she's admired by party activists, and she can draw huge crowds. And unlike Romney, she'll never be accused of being a phony.
Authenticity was always Romney's biggest problem. Being a Mormon hurt him with evangelicals, especially in the South. But what sunk Romney was the suspicion that he was playing a part. A self-described free market conservative, as governor of Massachusetts he instituted health care reforms that look very much like what Obama is proposing now. (Anyone who supports Obama's heath care plan ought to take a look at how Romney's program is working out. Not well.)
Sure, I think Romney comes off as a phony, but Palin is radioactive at this point and I don't see her having much of a shot at all in 2012. I know, very presumptive of me, but I still think the economy will be the big issue in 4 years and Romney owns that one. Palin doesn't have anything but her charm, and even that's worn thin with a majority of the electorate.
What's more, if Romney starts running now his persona will start to seem more genuine to the Republican faithful and then he's off to the races. Sure, Huckabee will still be a formidable opponent, but Huck just can't swing the moderates his way. However, imagine Huckabee as Mitt's VP nominee. He'll have sewn up the base right there.
We shall see…

Austin Ruse, president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, recalls some of the growing pains that occurred at Ave Maria University's School of Law in years past and said that the troubling times are behind the Catholic law school. What's emerged, he says, is an excellent law school with its brightest days ahead of them.
"Of all the internecine battles among orthodox Catholics in our time, among the nastiest was the Ave Maria Law School war," wrote Ruse at The Catholic Thing. "The administration eventually won, but only after years and at great cost."
Ruse, whose wife, Cathy, serves on the Ave Maria School of Law Board of Directors, details the history of the law school and its controversial move from Michigan to Florida and encourages people to look with fresh eyes at the "amazing and much needed experiment in truly Catholic legal education."

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hi - my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm a Family Law litigation attorney here to assist you.
Minnesota is referred to as an "equitable distribution" state. This means that you and your wife will be given an opportunity to settle on property division - including the house. You may have to offer to buy her out or give up other things to get her to agree to give you the house.
If you are unable to reach a settlement, the District Court will take the following approach to dividing the assets; First, it will go through a discovery process to classify which property and debt is to be considered marital. Next, it will assign a monetary value on the marital property and debt. Last, it will distribute the marital assets between the two parties in an equitable fashion. Equitable does not mean equal, but rather what is deemed by the District Court to be fair.
Here's a link to the property division statute: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=518
If both of you dig in your heels with regard to the house, the judge can order that it be sold and that the proceeds be split between you both after retiring the mortgage. If this happens, you will be able to buy the property at the public sale, but you'll pay a premium at this stage. Thus, you're better off to try and settle on this with her without the court getting involved.
I bought the land the house sits on before we were married. Do you think that may help me in court? What does a buy out mean?
Even if you bought the land before you were married, the property and the house became marital property if the house was your marital residence. Thus, it is unlikely that this will make a great deal of difference to the judge.
"Buy out" means that you will pay your wife for her 1/2 interest in the house. Usually, the judge will order an appraisal of the property, and it is likely that the judge will apportion ownership at 50/50.
If the house is worth $400,000, each of your equitable interests would be $200,000. If you owe $200,000 on the house, you would have to assume her liability for the note ($100,000) and then pay her the equity ($100,000) she's entitled to in order to buy her out.

Not sure if its the "Type" of computer i'm using. But yours seems to be the only patch i'm having problems with. I'm using a apple mac computer. But when i downloaded your patch file it didn't seem to be the right file type. If i downloaded Pokemon Prizm then the file type was correct. I have no idea why but its really frustrating cause I'd like to try this hack.

Tuesday at SpringOne2GX 2013 was chock full of content. The Grails BoF was by far my favorite session: no set topic, just a room full of devs, the Grails team and Groovy team reps, and a cart of beer.
This reaction to what was discussed is written from a largely outsider's perspective: I'm still new to Grails, but I've spent a decade now leading other framework development, in BoFs, on advisory boards, and generally getting batted around by the suitwearing world as the often "token geek" in business meetings.
The same old situation.
What surprised me was a topic that came to the forefront: "How do we get the word out? We've got this great tool here that we feel should be universal, but a lot of the Java community even calls it a 'toy.'"
"More tutorials/cookbooks, better marketing, more training," and so on, called the crowd.
Dan Vega, Brian Kotek, and I all exchanged a look: this is what the Adobe development communities for Flex and ColdFusion said for years: before they largely died out.
ColdFusion's long past its opportunity to evolve: even its "old guard" pokes fun at the new version's irrelevance. Flex is a different sad story.
Grails, however, has its technical sh-t together.
A better ball and chain.
In contrast, Graeme Rocher put forth a vision for Grails that illustrates the advantage of being an open, community-driven project. Grails can pivot, turning ninety degrees from being a "Web framework," leveraging a set of strengths not many may recognize.
See, much of Grails is an arrangement of preexisting technologies brought together with APIs sharing a common philosophy of simplicity and productivity. It's not a reinvention of the wheel: it's an alignment of existing cogs into a useful machine.
(That's not to say Grails is a rehash of other's work: my dabbling in Grails source shows that making Hibernate and Spring into its grokkable-in-ten-minute APIs is a Herculean task.)
Please forgive any misinterpretation I may put forth in the following: Graeme stated that he's seen the core value of Grails being in the persistence API/GORM, simplicity of configuration/wiring, and the plugin environment. He followed with the thought that these are all way too valuable to isolate them in the Web world of the servlet container.
Going forward, he outlined that Grails itself shouldn't be thought of as a Web framework but as an arrangement of plugins that currently provides Web capabilities. There's no reason these plugins can't be swapped, appended, and/or culled into rearrangements targeting other runtimes such as batch processing, big-data, or highly-concurrent Node-style service layers.
I completely agree, and I think it's a great idea.
So Burt speaks up…
At this point Burt Beckwith brought up an idea from one of his coworkers: Grails should be renamed.
I think it's a great idea. As much as I'd rather play with the bytes and build things, the half of me that's become more business focused has come to accept some harsh realities. In this case, it's that market perception of a product will often guide its success much more than its actual value.
(That's unfair, I don't like it, and I wish the world were different.)
Graeme expressed a frustration that Grails is continually compared to other Web frameworks when, in reality, it's an architecture capable of being much more.
That brings me to my conclusion: I think Graeme's inadvertently discovered Grails' brand: it's perceived as a lightweight way of knocking out quick and dirty Web applications in a WAR.
Again, I don't think this is right, fair, good, or that it does justice to either the code its been written or the vision that's been put forth.
Creating a new name would be doubly advantageous. The rearrangable "platform" can have its own identity, signaling a dedication to its purpose. Secondly, the "servlet profile" can still be called "Grails" – aligning its technical purpose with its market perception.
So, yeah, good session. Please forgive any misstatements or omissions: I did say there was beer involved.

Sailing on the banks in the rain yesterday, many whales were nearby, making it much more interesting to be outside.
Tue Jul 14 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Bahia, Brazil
A similar boat to the one sailing in yesterday's picture.
Note the mast that was made by simply taking the bark off a tree. I never found the crew of this boat to ask what the vertical stakes are for...I suspect they are used to dry fishing nets.
Mon Jul 13 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Bahia, Brazil
Traditional Bahian sailboat beating to windward. I took this picture a few days ago in Bahia de Todos Santos.
The died to nothing yesterday, then came back to a nice force 3 tailwind, with clear skies, lots of stars and a fair-sized moon. Now (morning) the wind is dying away again and the sails are making lots of noise as they flop around with the gentle rolling of the boat.
Sat Jul 11 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
A nice rainbow appeared while leaving Salvador today. The weather was off and on, rain and sun all morning, gradually becoming drier, mostly sunny, and less windy. By night, the waves were much smaller, and the stars and Milky Way poked their way out among the scattered clouds making for a very pleasant sail.
I am sailing south, out of the tropics, towards cooler weather.
Sat Jul 4 8:52:52 EDT 2009, Itaparica, Bahia, Brasil
The most uncommon-looking boat at anchor in Itaparica when I arrived was the Research Vessel Heraclitus. Heraclitus was built of ferrocement in California in 1974 and has sailed around the world several times, 250,000 miles in all.
I've long been interested in junk-rigged vessels, and this is the largest (85 feet/26m, 120 tons) and most-sailed junk that I've seen. A friendly crewman from the Solomon Islands showed me around the boat, which, among other things, is equipped with a library of hundreds of books and a large laboratory area. Heraclitus does mostly environmental reseach for various organizations. More information on their website at
Sat Jul 4 8:51:04 EDT 2009, Itaparica, Bahia, Brasil
Eyes to see where the boat is going :).
Sat Jul 4 8:46:26 EDT 2009, Itaparica, Bahia, Brasil
Thu Jul 2 8:17:23 EDT 2009, Itaparica, Bahia, Brasil
On the island of Itaparica, public transportation consists of taxis and Kombis. A Kombi is a Volkswagen van fitted out with three rows of seats. The Kombis serve as the bus system of the island. Two people run them, the driver and the conductor, who collects the money and helps people in and out of the van.
I have been aboard a Kombi with 15 adults and one child. Some people had to stand crouching on that trip, and two lay down in the cargo area above the (rear) engine. There are no seatbelts. Because the roads have many potholes or are cobblestone, the Kombis (and all other traffic) don't go very fast, but it is always a bumpy ride.
Wed Jun 24 0:00:00 EDT 2009, Itaparica, Bahia, Brazil
I arrived back in Itaparica (near Salvador, Brazil) in time for the third and last evening of the annual Festival de Sao Joao. This is the second biggest festival in the area (Carnival is the biggest). There are small fires lit in the streets, much music, and many fireworks of various kinds.
Tue Jun 23 9:01:00 EDT 2009, Maceio, Alagoas, Brazil
Maceio is a very laid-back city in Northeast Brazil. It is the capital of the state of Alagoas. I was surprised to see this statue of liberty outside an old government building (the old city hall) near the port.
Underneath the statue is the state symbol which says Estado de Alacoas, Brazil, Paz e Prosperidade (in English, State of Alacoas, Brazil, Peace & Prosperity). Another plaque indicates the statue was put here in 1918.

That's what happens with this stuff...the longer it goes the more the truths get mixed up.
Other reports had the call taking place on Thursday and it not even coming from Wes - but just his brother.
It's quite difficult to know which way is up with this entire thing.
The quotes from the article lead me to believe that GMac may have a tendency to be a bit heavy handed when it comes to "his way or the highway".
There's a limit to how much you can micro-manage situations before it becomes counter-productive for the folks you're in charge of and they begin to resent you and your management style.
I'm disappointed that things have turned out this way because WJ was a pleasure to watch on the court. I hope he's learned from this experience.
More importantly, as the head coach of ISU men's BBall, I hope that GMac takes a long look in the mirror after this and learns from this situation. If players keep leaving, he'll soon join them.
I think Pollard won't be so trigger happy this time with G. Mac.. This is his first big hire and he will want to give him every opportunity.
That being said, I would hope Pollard has a heart to heart talk with his coach, and tell him there are certain things he needs to get corrected.

I believe WJ is the first player who has had negative things to say about the coach on his way out the door. C. McIntosh, C. Johnson, C. Vette and D. Dunson all had good things to say about ISU and Coach McD. I don't see a pattern yet. Plus, if WJ is claiming there was a miscommunication between himself and the coach, he isn't doing a very good job of communicating it to the press. Now in his defense, I'm guessing he doesn't have a public relations department in his home. But neither does Tony Freeman, and I understood what he was saying.

You probably talk to friends way more than you talk to your parents. That's natural. Even if you and your parents have a great relationship, you want to find your own path and make your own choices.
Still, most of us want a parent's help, advice, and support at times. But talking to the adults in your life can seem difficult or intimidating — especially when it comes to certain subjects. Here are some tips to make it easier.
The more you do something, the easier it gets. Talking to the adults in your life about everyday stuff builds a bond that can smooth the way for when you need to discuss something more serious.
Find something trivial to chat about each day. Talk about how your team did at the track meet. Share something one of your teachers said. Even small talk about what's for dinner can keep your relationship strong and comfortable.
It's never too late to start. If you feel your relationship with your parents is strained, try easing into conversations. Mention that cute thing the dog did. Talk about how well your little sister is doing in math. Chatting with parents every day not only keeps an existing relationship strong, it also can help a frayed relationship get stronger.
When parents feel connected to your daily life, they can be there for you if something really important comes up.
Maybe you need to break bad news to a parent, like getting a speeding ticket or failing an exam. Perhaps you're feeling scared or stressed about something. Or maybe you just really, really want to tell your parents about your new boyfriend or girlfriend, but you don't know how they'll react, how it will feel to tell them, or how to find the words.
Here are 3 steps to help you prepare for that talk.
It takes maturity to figure out what you want to get out of a conversation. (Most adults aren't so good at this!)
What you hope to achieve can vary. Most often you'll probably want the adults in your life to do one or more of these things:
Why think about this before you begin talking? So you can say why you want to talk in a way that communicates what you need. For example:
Things like personal feelings or sex are awkward to discuss with anyone, let alone a parent. It's natural to be nervous when talking about sensitive topics.
Recognize how you're feeling — for example, maybe you're worried that telling parents about a problem will make them disappointed or upset. But instead of letting those feelings stop you from talking, put them into words as part of the conversation. For example:
What if you think a parent may be unsupportive, harsh, or critical? It can help to defuse things by beginning with a statement like, "Mom, I have something to tell you. I'm not proud of what I've done, and you might be mad. But I know I need to tell you. Can you hear me out?"
Approach your parent when he or she isn't busy with something else. Ask, "Can we talk? Is now a good time?" Driving in the car or going for a walk can be great opportunities to talk. If it's hard to find a good time, say, "I need to talk to you. When is a good time?"
Difficult conversations benefit from good planning. Think ahead about what you want to say or ask. Write down the most important ideas if you need to.
As most of us know, talking and listening don't go smoothly every time. Emotions and past experiences can get in the way.
Will parents take you seriously, believe what you say, listen to and respect your opinions, and hear you out without interrupting? A lot depends on your parent. Some parents are easy to talk to, some are great listeners, and some are harder to approach.
But some of what happens depends on you, too. Since communication is a two-way street, the way you talk can influence how well a parent listens and understands you.
So here are some guidelines to consider when talking to parents:
Your parents won't always see things your way and they won't always say yes to what you ask. They might listen respectfully, understand your point of view, and do everything you need except say yes. It can be hard to take no for an answer. But gracefully accepting a no can help you get more yeses in the future.
What if it's more than just saying no to something, though? What if you really need your parents to be there for you but they can't? Some parents have troubles of their own. Others just can't be available in the ways their kids need and deserve. Others have a hard time being flexible.
If you can't talk to your parent, seek out other adults you can trust. Find a relative, a teacher, or a counselor who will listen, understand, encourage, believe in you, and care. Then follow all the tips above to get the most from your conversation with that person.
Acting respectfully demonstrates maturity. Parents are more likely to think of their children as grown up (and, as a result, capable of making more important decisions) when they see them acting maturely. Give these tips a try and you'll come across that way — maybe even more mature than your parents!

|Elementary school Accelerated Reader program high-point winners announced
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Sixteen Holyoke Elementary students were recognized as high-point winners in the school's Accelerated Reader (AR) program at a presentation Monday, May 24 at Holyoke Elementary School (HES).
High-point winners include kindergartners Cade Killin, Lauren Herman and Bryton Goldenstein; first graders Rylan Archibeque, Emali Torres and Jillian Warren; second graders Josie Herman, Tristen Roll and Monique Ruybal; third graders Maura Castillo and Kelyn Goldenstein; fourth graders Drew Stewart and Anna Jelden; and fifth graders Logan Osborne, Tara Krueger and Austin Herman.
Osborne and Herman were also recognized as the girl and boy who earned the highest points in the entire school.
Students participate in the AR program as a means of being exposed to quality literature, to improve listening skills, increase comprehension of story information and to experience good oral reading models that will improve fluency.
Beginning in kindergarten, students are paired with fifth grade big buddies who visit their classrooms twice a month to read and discuss library books.
Students then take computerized comprehension tests which are scored automatically and points are recorded. The combination of good listening on the part of younger students, effective reading and questioning strategies from big buddies, a super support from home provides a strong literacy foundation to the youngest students.
As students progress through the grades, they become more independent and take personal responsibility for reading the books and taking the tests. At all grade levels, goals are set throughout the year as well as a year-end goal.
Rewards are a fun part of the program with a swimming party traditionally featured as the culminating activity for those students who attain their goal.
"The AR program has been a vital component of literacy development at HES for over 20 years," Title I teacher Mary Austin said.
The program was expanded this year to allow nearly every book in the school as well as at Heginbotham Library to be utilized as an AR book. There is also a section of Spanish reading books.

Ifedi Named to Lombardi Award List
July 15, 2013
Martin Ifedi, who led the University of Memphis with 11 tackles for lost yardage and 7.5 quarterback sacks last season, has been named to the preliminary watch list for the 2013 Rotary Lombardi Award.
Eligibility for the award is limited to down linemen, end-to-end, either on offense or defense, who set up no farther than 10 yards to the left or right of the ball, or linebackers who set up no farther than five yards deep from the line of scrimmage.
Initial candidates for the award earned All-American honors, were named to their respective all-conference teams or received 2013 preseason honors. The Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List will be updated prior to the start of the 2013 season. Intended as a reference tool for the selection committee, the watch list will be periodically updated and revised through the conclusion of the voting to determine the 12 semifinalists for 2013.
The 44th Rotary Lombardi Award winner will be announced Dec. 11, 2013, at the Wortham Center in Houston. He finished the year with 46 tackles - 13 solo stops and 33 assists - had four quarterback hurries and forced two fumbles during the year.
Following his sophomore season, Ifedi was selected to the 2012 All-Conference USA Second Team by the league's coaches. Heading into the 2013 season, Ifedi has also been tabbed a second-team, preseason all-American Athletic Conference selection by both Athlon Sports' College Football and Phil Steele's College Football Preview.
Academically, Ifedi earned Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll accolades each of the past three years.
Memphis opens the 2013 season Sept. 7 when the Tigers play host to Duke.
Ticket prices for the 2013 football season are unchanged from last year and the Tigers play a total of seven home games. Fans can purchase season tickets online at gotigersgo.com, or by calling the athletic ticket office at (901) 678-2331 or (888) 867-UofM.

Hobbs Honored As UMass Athlete Of The Week
Jan. 23, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - Hockey senior Danny Hobbs has been named UMass Athlete of the Week for his three-goal effort this weekend against Vermont. The senior co-captain propelled the Minutemen to their third straight victory on Friday evening, 4-3, as UMass extended its home unbeaten streak to 10 games.
The Shawville, Quebec native posted the third hat trick by a Minuteman in the matchup with the Catamounts. He is now tied for the second most goals on the UMass squad with sophomore Michael Pereira. Hobbs has collected 18 points in 19 contests this season, with nine goals and as many assists.
Hobbs extended his point scoring streak to six straight games with his hat trick on Jan. 20. The UMass forward was able to net both the first and third goal of the game for the Minutemen.
Hobbs will be honored at the Weekly Sports Luncheon in the Campus Center's room 1009 at 12:15 p.m. this Wednesday. The Mass Attack next hits the ice this Friday for a Hockey East contest with in-state rival UMass-Lowell at 7 p.m.

Married Women Are Happier Than Cohabiting OnesSierra Black
Think you're happy living with your partner? Don't see any reason to get married?
Survey says couples who share housekeys but don't tie the knot aren't quite as happy as their married counterparts. At least the women aren't.
A worldwide study of 22,000 women showed that married women are a little happier than those who live with their unmarried partners.
Why the difference? The correlation between a wedding band and extra joy was strongest in countries with strong, traditional views on marriage. This leads researchers to think women are happier when they feel like society approves of their relationships.
The Telegraph reports on the study, saying that while women in countries like the United States and Britain felt a little worse if they weren't married, unmarried cohabitors in laid back nations like the Netherlands were just as happy as their wedded peers.
A recent poll showed that gay families are now more accepted than single moms in America. That's great news for gay families, but might explain why single ladies are feeling like society doesn't approve of their shacking up. More than a third of Americans think single moms are bad for society. Even if you don't have kids, you probably feel some of the heat from that attitude when you live together without getting married.
I don't think this means everyone should run out right now and put a ring on it. Far from it. Rather, it's a reflection that social disapproval hurts. When we go around judging other people's choices, we really do mar their happiness. Rather than starting a run on marriage licenses, this study should be a wake up call to adjust social attitudes. Whether or not someone else is married is really none of anyone's business. The more we can chill about it, the happier we'll be. For real.

Your Take: Would You Ship Out of State to Avoid Sales Tax?
Posted By Jim On 08/17/2012 @ 7:15 am In Your Take | 21 Comments
We know that a sales tax on internet purchases is probably on the way, either federally or slowly expanding across the states, with Amazon [3] firmly in the sights of every state Treasurer. Unless there is a nationwide system, the rates will always vary among the states because they vary right now. The retail sales tax in Virginia is 5% but a hefty 6% in Maryland. Go up to Delaware and you pay no sales tax! (this is one of the reasons why sales tax holidays [4] are always so popular)
Delaware is only an hour and a half away, which makes it impractical for most purchases, but it does start making sense for big ticket purchases like a television. We often stop at the Delaware Costco on drives up to New York or New Jersey in order to buy stuff tax-free (it's rare and it's mostly alcohol :)) but we haven't made a special trip just to buy something and avoid taxes.
But let's say Amazon started collecting taxes in your state, like Virginia in September 2013, would you ship to a friend or relative in a nearby state to avoid the tax? My in-laws live in Virginia and if they wanted to ship things to our house to avoid the tax, I'd have no problem with it.

Its report, released on March 28, was written by 220 scientists from 62 countries and deals with managing risks from extreme weather.
Warm air can hold more moisture so the world will get more rain, "but the critical fact here is that this rainfall increase is not evenly distributed," Tim Flannery writes in "The Weather Makers," a 2005 book about climate change.
Flannery, a biologist who has taught at Harvard, said air pollutants such as carbon dioxide, other greenhouse gases and ozone have pushed up the tropopause, a barrier between the two lowest levels of the atmosphere and the place where much of earth`s weather is generated.
While the stratosphere above it cools and shrinks, the troposphere, the level closest to the surface, expands and heats under a lid of greenhouse gases.
"By warming the troposphere, we both change the weather patterns globally and increase the likelihood of extreme weather events," Flannery writes.
He cites a powerful El Nino of 1997-98, the European heat wave of 2003 and the "one of the worst storm seasons ever experienced in Florida" in 2004. Hurricane Katrina hit the next year, when the book was published.
The International Panel on Climate Change report said the scientists have low confidence that the number of tropical cyclones -- which are called hurricanes in the northern latitudes -- will increase. Wind speed and rainfall of hurricanes, however, are likely to increase, the report said.
While predicting more rainstorms in some areas, the report said scientists have medium confidence that droughts will become more frequent and more intense in regions, including southern and central Europe, central North America, Mexico and southern Africa.
The report rates as very likely the chances that heat waves will become more frequent and intense over most land. Also, the scientists are virtually certain that the number and intensity of warm days and nights will increase globally.
To describe intense rainfall, like Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, the U.S. Geological Survey computes the likelihood that those storms will strike in various parts of the nation.
One benchmark that engineers use is whether their controls for stormwater will withstand the worst flood expected in 100 years.
While the term 100-year flood has grown common, it becomes confusing when severe storms occur just a few years or even a few weeks apart.
"I think we`ve all heard people say `How can we have two, 100-year storms in five years?" which is a great example of the mass confusion presented by this attempt at labeling storms," Jim Brewster of the National Weather Service in Binghamton, N.Y., said by email.
Instead of referring to 100-year storms, Brewer and other scientists prefer saying such floods have a 1 percent chance of occurring in any given year.
So were Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee 100-year storms that arrived 10 days apart?
It depends on the location.
The 7.49 inches of rain that fell on Sept. 7, 2011, with the arrival of Tropical Storm Lee near Binghamton exceeded the rain expected in the kind of storm that has a 1 percent chance of occurring in any year.
Brewster said rainfall from Hurricane Irene probably passed that mark in parts of the Catskills, too, but not in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The 3.23 inches recorded at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport in Avoca on Aug. 28, 2011, would be expected every five to 10 years, he said.
During Tropical Storm Lee, the total of 4.09 inches of rain measured between Sept. 6 and 7, 2011, also fell within the 5- to 10-year range.
Looking through the records back to 1901 for Northeastern Pennsylvania, the closest that Brewster found to a 100-year storm was Sept. 27, 1985. That day 5.98 inches of rain fell, an amount predicted every 80 to 90 years.---(c)2012 The Standard-Speaker, Hazleton, Pa.Distributed by MCT Information Services---Story Image: Irene`s rain floods out Route 100 in Waitsfield, Vt on Aug. 28, 2011.

The former 'Baywatch' star revealed she loves the actress' sexy looks - and thinks she's "hot".
She confessed: "She's hot. Her sexiness is totally appreciated by girls like me."
Earlier this year, curvaceous Carmen revealed she and her rock star husband, Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro, have a steamy love life.
The actress - who has been married to Navarro for two years - said: "Sex with Dave is the best I've ever had, still."
She added: "Everyone says that when you get married the passion starts to go, but with us, it's been the exact opposite. We just can't get enough of each other."

3In the Speed Guide, select the speed that best corresponds to the number you retrieved in your speed test. If your computer is running on a slower connection, such as a 56k dial-up, expect your download speeds to be significantly slower.
4Choose a port number somewhere in the acceptable range. The acceptable port range is between 49512 and 65535. Type in an arbitrary number somewhere in between the two and test your port number.
5Enable encryption. Encryption is the process by which your client disguises your connection speed in order to keep ISPs from throttling it. If an ISP recognizes a client downloading a bunch of data, it may choose to throttle it in order to keep it from monopolizing the connection. If you want to download files faster, enable encryption by clicking on the appropriate box and then selecting "Use Selected Settings."
6Navigate to Preferences and select where you want your downloaded files to end up. Go to Options → Preferences → Downloads and browse the folder location you want completed files to end up in.
7Speed up uTorrent by setting up port-forwarding. You can enable uPnP (Universal Plug-n-Play) on uTorrent and your router and that will automatically port-forward the ports for you when you start uTorrent.
Part 2
Downloading Torrent Files
1Go to a torrent search site. There are many torrent sites. (Remember, these are different from the BitTorrent client websites.) The five most popular torrent sites, as of 2013, include:[1]
- ISOhunt
- The Pirate Bay
- Torrentz
- Extra Torrent
- TorrentReactor
2Type the name of the files you want to download in the search box.
- If you press search, another page opens. The first torrent site that opens is mininova. The black bar on top of the page gives you links to other torrent searching engines if you can't find the file you are looking for at mininova.
3Take a look at seeders and leechers. On the right of the page you can see the seeders and leechers. Seeders are people who have completely downloaded the file and are sharing it with others. Leechers are people who are currently downloading the file and thus share only a fraction of the file. Always select the torrent with the most Leechers and seeders.
4Always check the comments on the torrent. Some torrents may contain viruses or corrupt files. If the file seems to check out, you can go ahead without worrying about viruses or other compromising factors.
5Find the download button somewhere on the torrent page. If you click on the torrent you want to download a window like this appears.
6Know that uTorrent will now display a box allowing you to choose which files to download. In this box, the files of the torrent you selected are displayed. You can select or deselect the files you wish to download and click OK.
7Wait for the file to start downloading.
Community Q&A
Why do I get a Mac OS X file after downloading a file in uTorrent?
Can you torrent downloads through web sites?
|You can download music, videos, or any number of files you might need on your computer by using uTorrent.
- This bandwidth intensive activity is frowned upon by some ISPs who will try to throttle BitTorrent traffic. You can enable Traffic Encryption, which may or may not speed up your downloads.
- You'll need Winrar or 7zip to extract any compressed archives you download.
- A high speed internet connection will allow you to download faster, but beware of any bandwidth limits (e.g. 90 GB/mth) imposed by your ISP.
- If you are an advanced user, and you want to speed up µTorrent, you can do this by forwarding your µTorrent port on your router.
- Be sure to check comments of the file you are downloading to avoid downloading infected/fake files.
- Downloading pirated software/music/movies will put you at risk of getting caught and having copyright infringement charges pressed on you.
- Do NOT install uTorrent - instead, create "uTorrent" folder in any drive's "Program Files", and MOVE your freshly downloaded uTorrent executable there, thus preventing uTorrent from inflicting malware. (uTorrent crew found a workaround for this trick, no longer works now)

Exchange Testimonials: NorwayFriday, April 15th, 2011
Norwegian Excursion – BI Norwegian School of Management
By: Justin Lepitzk
Participating in an international exchange was by far the most memorable experience I have had at SFU. At first, I was a little nervous about living in another country on my own. But after going through both SFU and BI's exchange orientations, I realized just how much fun the semester was going to be.
I was able to travel around Europe while taking four business classes in Oslo. I visited Amsterdam, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, and Italy while maintaining a strict budget thanks to cheap airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet. I was also able to travel within Norway and made my way to the west coast to visit the cities of Bergen and Stavanger. While in Stavanger, we took a 4 km hike up to the famous Preikestolen – a massive 604 meter cliff overlooking the Lysefjorden.
During my stay in Norway, I met a myriad of new people and experienced the Norwegian style of living. If you ever get a chance to visit Oslo, I recommend trying a bacon-rapped hotdog and checking out one of the many awesome techno clubs.
While on exchange, I expected to meet people, but I never expected to come away with new lifelong friends. I plan to return to Europe after graduation, and will be fortunate enough to have a place to stay in almost every country.
Studying abroad in Norway brought me out of the "bubble" I was living in here in Vancouver and opened my eyes to different cultures and ways of living. It was truly an experience of a lifetime; all students should take advantage of international exchanges while studying at SFU.

Koo Nimo is the leading traditional musician of the Ashanti Region of Ghana. He is Ghana's foremost exponent of acoustic guitar highlife, better known as palm wine guitar music.
Apart from his early exposure to music by his parents and playing in local groups, particularly I.E.'s Band, Koo Nimo also studied classical guitar style, harmony, counterpoint etc. at various times, to enhance his musical appreciation. "I didn't want to be a Segovia. I wanted to be an African guitarist, using my technique to do justice to my own music which I understand better," explains Agya Koo, as he is generally known in Ghana. Although a great consumer of jazz music- from Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Wes Montgomery, Count Basie through Antonio Carlos Jobim and Lorendo Almeida to Thelonius Monk- Agya Koo drew inspiration first from Ghanaian guitarist, Kwabena Onyina. But as he explains, "I didn't, however, want to be a second-rate guitarist, hence my determination to dig into my past for a traditional sound which I have now fashioned. He has represented his country with his Adadam Agofama Group at several international arts festivals and has also toured extensively throughout Europe and America, where he shared the stage with Puerto Rico's Yomo Toro during a 1988 "Guitar Summit".
Koo Nimo also combines his professional and musical careers with other functions at various times- President of the Musicians' Union of Ghana, interim Chairman of the Copyright Society of Ghana, Member of the Board of Directors of Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, Member of the Education Commission of Ghana, part-time lecturer in guitar at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. amongst numerous others. Some of Koo Nimo's works are studied alongside those of other African musicians in the West African Examination Council (equivalent to GCE) syllabus for music. Koo Nimo is also the Chief Lab Technician at the Biochemistry Department of the University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana. He is currently studying some courses in Seattle and is traveling to Toronto exclusively for AfroFest.
Notwithstanding his stature and popularity, both within and outside Ghana, Agya Koo remains a man of the people committed to re-exposing his countrymen, particularly the young, to their own folk music. His priceless music represents a living art form - not a museum showpiece- which has given inspiration to such Ghanaian luminaries as George Darko and many others.
A great poet, storyteller and songwriter, with over 50 songs to his credit, Agya Koo communicates in a clear distinctive voice to his audience, mostly in Asante Twi over which he possesses a great command thanks in part to his long association with the Asante Royal family. As his sister was married to one of the brothers of Asantehene (King of Asantes), he too had to move into the palace where he was "irradiated with tradition". No wonder his music has natural hints of adowa kete and many other traditional Asante rythms. His words of wisdom also abound with homilies and proverbs.

Recently was reading the topic "It's finally finished!" and saw someone commenting saying they appreciated the period correct-ish Fixies.
I wanted to say I also Recently 'Finished' my fixie.
I bought an Old Soma Sport 10-Speed. Not sure of the year of manufacture, but it's pretty old.
Initially, I simply stripped the bike of non essential parts, and used the old wheels and old cassette, and chose the best chainline for the bike and rode it as a single speed.
But recently I acquired a set of Soma Fab Somax wheels and a dura-ace fixed cog and turned it into a true fixed gear bike.
Currently, It still has both brakes, as I am still a fixed newbie, and I still might swap to the freewheel every once in a while, but the plan is to strip the rear brake and the old levers off and put on a single cross lever in the flats for the front brake.
Here it is!
Took it on my first significant fixed gear ride today (about 15 to 20 miles or so) and it was a blast, really liking it. Took some pictures to send to soma, and then stripped the wheel stickers off after the pics.
Lemme know what you think!

If you use the Inventory feature of QuickBooks you understand the concept of quantity on hand – a measure of the quantity of any inventory part or inventory assembly item that you have at any given time. QuickBooks also has another measure of quantity that many people don't understand – available quantity. Let's dig in to this feature to see how it works.
Quantity on hand is the quantity of a particular item you have in your possession at a given point of time. If you receive an item, this goes up. If you sell an item or use that item in an assembly build, it goes down. You can adjust it with the Adjust Quantity/Value On Hand function. Keep in mind that this value is "date sensitive" – any time you see a report or transaction that involves a date then the quantity on hand shown is the value calculated as of that date.
If you are selling inventory parts (or assemblies) this value can be misleading. It doesn't take into account other "promises" or allocations that you have made for this item. You may, for example, have a sales order that is promising a quantity of this item to a customer, or a pending build assembly transaction that should consume the item. So if I'm talking to a customer and entering an invoice or sales order it is easy for me to overcommit, to sell items that I don't really have available because of other commitments that I've made. That is a problem.
Higher level accounting/inventory systems often have a concept of "available to promise" – a quantity that represents not only the quantity you have on hand but also involves allocations (promises) made to sales orders in progress or future builds of assemblies, as well as incoming purchase orders. This is a very useful tool.
In QuickBooks we have an optional feature that is called the quantity available, which is similar to the "available to promise" concept.
QuickBooks Preferences
There are several Items & Inventory preferences that affect how this works.
To enable this feature you should check the two boxes under "When calculating Quantity Available…".
The next choice is optional. If you check the "Warn if not enough inventory to sell" box then any time that you enter a quantity in a sales transaction for an amount that exceeds the chosen value, you will get a popup warning. I generally recommend having the box checked, because you don't really want to be selling things that you don't have (and having "negative inventory" is generally a very bad thing to do in QuickBooks). If you check this box then you have an additional option over which value to work with. I recommend selecting "Quantity Available" in most cases.
Note that this feature has no effect on inventory valuation or your financial statements. All this is doing is adding warnings in the sales transactions and providing you with additional information in some windows and reports. You can easily turn this on or off as you wish with no bad side effects.
Current Availability Window
When this feature is enabled QuickBooks will provide you with a window that lets you see details about the available quantity. This can be reached from several locations:
- In the item list, select the item, then either click the Activities button at the bottom of the list or right click on the item to get a menu, and select Current Availability.
- In a purchase order, invoice, sales order, sales receipt or estimate, select an item for the order. If the item is an inventory part or inventory assembly then you will see a small graph symbol in the quantity column. Clicking on this will open the window.
The Current Availability window shows you a summary of the information about this item and the status of the quantity that is available. The item that is shown here is an inventory part that has been used in sales orders and purchase orders, as well as being a component in an inventory assembly.
As you can see, we have 8 of this item "on hand", but 12 of them are allocated to other transactions that are in process. A net "quantity available" of –4 says that you shouldn't be telling your customer that you can sell them the item, even though there may be 8 on hand. Or at least you should be saying that delivery might be delayed.
However, you can also see that there are 6 of these coming in on purchase orders. Maybe we CAN promise the product to the customer? If you click the Show Details button at the bottom of the screen and select purchase orders from the dropdown list, you can see a list of the open purchase orders for this item.
This shows you when the items will be received, which gives you some idea of when you might be able to fulfill the order. You can double click on the individual orders in this list to look at the purchase order details.
Quantity Available in Reports
One of my favorite inventory management reports in QuickBooks is the Inventory Stock Status by Item report. If you enable the available inventory feature there are three columns added to the report; "On Sales Order", "For Assemblies" and "Available".
Let's look at the "Lens" item that we investigated earlier. You see that there are 8 "on hand". There are 10 "on sales order", which represents the quantity of this item that you've already promised to someone on open sales orders. There are two of this item promised (allocated) to pending builds of an inventory assembly item that uses this item as shown in the "for assemblies" column. That works out to be an "available" amount of –4. The total quantity on purchase orders is shown in the "on PO" column along with the "next delivery" date (based on the expected due date of the purchase order).
A word of caution, however. Keep in mind that most reports in QuickBooks have a date range associated with them. Most information windows or lists do not have a date associated. If I open the inventory stock status by item report it usually defaults to the current date, and in this case you'll notice that the report differs from what I see in the current availability window (which was set to "all" dates).
Several of my sales orders are dated in the future, and so they aren't counted in the on sales order value in this particular report. This report implies that I actually have 5 available that I can promise to someone, along with 6 more coming on a PO. That is misleading! If you date sales orders in the future (such as for orders that you want to hold off until next week), you have to watch the date selection in this report.
A Useful Feature
This is not fool-proof. Date errors can create problems, as I've shown. QuickBooks is not doing any "time phasing", so you can't easily tell how far in the future these demands are (sales orders and pending builds), and you have limited visibility on the supply dates (purchase orders). Incoming items on a P.O. may already be committed to another project or customer. You also have to remember that this feature does not stop you from selling something you don't have, you can still sell the items in spite of the warnings.
Even with all of that, I find that the quantity available feature is very useful, and I always recommend that this be enabled as shown here. This feature helps you avoid running your quantity on hand to a negative value, which is very important in QuickBooks as negative inventory can have bad effects on your COGS calculations and your financial reports. It gives you tools that help you be more accurate in providing sales delivery promises to your customers, so that you don't make commitments to shipments that you cannot fulfil.

Because I was a self-pay for the VSG revision (banding was via insurance), I looked into Mexican surgeons. The three U.S. surgeons I explored wanted $22,000 - $26,000 and that only included the surgery and one night in the hospital.
I wanted a surgeon who was certified in bariatrics, one who had done over 250 revisions, one who operated out of a clean hospital with an intensive care unit in case I needed that level of care, and one who insisted that the people taking care of me post-op were registered nurses. I also looked into complication rates and talked with others who had used the surgeons I was considering. Finally, I wanted to be sure that when I left Mexico, I would be safe to carry on with my life in the U.S. That meant making sure complications were prevented.
Dr. Aceves met my criteria. He did 3 different leak tests to make sure all was fine and kept me in the hospital for 3 nights. I had a chest x-ray, an EKG, a urinalysis, and blood work prior to the surgery and a complete unfill of my band after a barium esophagram. I was seen by Dr. Aceves, his assistant surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and a medical MD all prior to surgery.
My experience was text book and I have no regrets. If you're considering going to Mexico for surgery I highly recommend Dr. Aceves and his team.

From New York Times best-selling author John Connolly, a wonderfully strange and brilliant novel about a boy, his dog, and their struggle to escape the wrath of demons.
Young Samuel Johnson is in trouble. Not only is his eyesight so poor that he mistakenly asks out a letter box on a date, but an angry demon is seeking revenge for Samuel's part in foiling the invasion of Earth by the forces of evil. It wants to get its claws on Samuel, and when Samuel and his faithful dachshund, Boswell, are pulled through a portal into the dark realm, the home of the Infernals, it gets its chance.
But catching Samuel is not going to be easy, for the Infernals have not reckoned on the bravery and cleverness of a boy and his dog, or the loyalty of Samuel's friend, the hapless demon Nurd, or the presence of two clueless policemen and the unlucky, if cheerfully optimistic, driver of an ice-cream van.
Most of all, no one has planned on the intervention of an unexpected band of little men, for Samuel and Boswell are not the only inhabitants of Earth who have found themselves in the underworld. If you thought demons were frightening, just wait until you meet Mr. Merryweather's Elves.
©2011 John Connolly (P)2011 Simon & Schuster
"Connolly's graceful prose, laced with acerbically witty footnotes, is a joy to read, and he easily alternates among slapstick comedy, powerful drama, and skin-crawling horror." (Publishers Weekly)
"Brilliantly funny, often touching, with enough action to keep adventure fans on the edges of their chairs, this novel combines top-notch writing with cutting wit." (Kirkus Reviews)
I am an audiobook enthusiast who reviews audiobooks for his blog, The Guilded Earlobe. You can find me on Twitter @guildedearlobe talking about zombies, robots, monkeys and audiobooks.
"Wonderful for Children and Adults"
This sequel to Connolly's The Gates is another wonderful, clever and laugh out loud hilarious adventure. The style of the book with its humorous asides and clever footnotes is perfect for translation to audiobook, and Tim Gerard Reynold's narration only makes it better.
"Should have kept original narrator"
They didn't even try to have the new narrator do the same voices as the previous one. This narrator was also a bit boring to listen to and didn't have as good of comedic timing.
"Awesome book!"
creative, funny, and thoughtful with great narrator , memorable character author and awesome footnotes . Refreshing
Mad for Westies
The story of a young boy and his faithful little dog battling the minions of hell continues. The writing is superb -- this work of John Connolly's can be compared to P.G. Wodehouse in providing a belly laugh or two on nearly every page. Tim Gerard Reynolds provides masterful narration, and the entire effect is just terrific. Highly Recommended.
"So creative! I love John Connolly's imagination"
Some of the most creative and hillarious writing I have ever encountered. These are my favorite books and characters.
"still great!"
Love the storyline
The cast of characters is great. These books are like a mix of Neil Gaiman and Douglas Adams. The characters are so funny. I love all the symbolism and references.
Him narrating the second book was sort of jarring. The first narrator wad wonderful.But tim is one of my favorite narrators so I settled in to his characters. He is great!
I laughed all the way through
"Terrific for older children"
It is a very imaginative, humorous story.
Nurd is terrific fun.
Wouldn't have thought it possible, but I enjoyed Mr. Reynolds' wonderful work even more than that of the narrator of the first book in the series. Having an Englishman narrate this very English fairy tale makes it far more special that it could ever have been droning through my head in a flat, Los Angeles accent. Tim Gerard Reynolds' performance adds spark and an entire dimension to the experience.
Wish I had grandchildren old enough to be able to enjoy this Samuel Johnson trilogy. Marvelous stuff.
thoughtful reader/listener/viewer
"A young person's guide to the Inferno!"
I don't like to rank books, but The Infernals was entertaining and funny, and also made quite a few good points about how good and evil work (and don't work).
The footnotes are well done.
Tim Gerard Reynolds is good with various voices and accents--all the characters are distinct.
I laughed several times.
Samuel Johnson's tour of hell is just as instructive as Dante's, in a smaller way. The Infernals doesn't quite match The Gates for suspense and humor, but it was still fun and I look forward to Mr. Connolly's next book about Samuel Johnson & Boswell.
Too old to rock and roll; too young to die.
I relish the opportunity to listen to The Infernals again. The narrator was able to capture the entirely English sensibility of this book. The characters are quirky and easy to love. While probably written for a younger audience, say fourteen year olds, it is even better to listen to as an adult. It is multi-layered, like a Bugs Bunny cartoon. There's something for everyone. The explanation of quantum physics and multi-dimensionality is brilliant. Not that it matters much to our day to day lives, it is interesting nonetheless. The narrator was blasé without being patronizing. It's difficult to narrate a humorous story without sounding like a clown. Good show!
I don't want to give away anything, but Mrs. Abernathy is fabulous.
No, I've not had the pleasure.
It made me laugh out loud. A welcome release of emotion.
