Eating eggs for breakfast may help you lose weight compared to eating a carbohydrate-rich breakfast like a bagel, according to a study published in the "International Journal of Obesity" in October 2009. The type of scrambled eggs you consume, however, can make a difference in the fat and protein content.
Maximizing Protein While Minimizing Fat
Make scrambled eggs yourself using a large egg, and you'll get about 6.1 grams of protein and 6.7 grams of fat, including 2 grams of saturated fat. Buy scrambled eggs at a fast-food restaurant and a 1-egg portion, or about half the order, will contain about 6.5 grams of protein and 7.6 grams of fat, including 2.9 grams of saturated fat, since these restaurants tend to use more than the typical amount of fat when preparing food.
Healthier Alternatives
Because scrambled eggs are usually cooked in at least a little butter or oil, you can save some fat and still get your protein if you opt for a hard-boiled egg instead, which has 6.3 grams of protein and 5.3 grams of fat, including only 1.6 grams of saturated fat. Making your scrambled egg at home in a nonstick pan without added butter or oil will eliminate the difference in fat as well. Another healthier option is to use free-range eggs, which have only 75 percent of the saturated fat found in regular eggs, according to a 2007 article published in "Mother Earth News."

Employee Benefits News examines legal developments that impact the employee benefits and executive compensation employers provide, including federal and state legislation, rules from federal...
April 27 — For the second time, the U.S. Supreme Court has sent back to an appeals court a case testing nonprofit religious organizations' obligation to comply with regulations implementing the Affordable Care Act's women's health provisions.
The issue of whether such groups must provide their employees with health plans that cover contraceptive drugs, devices and related services at no cost, despite their religious objections to doing so, has divided federal district courts but found surprising unanimity among appeals courts.
To date, every appeals court to have considered the issue of whether the regulations, as modified by an accommodation for nonprofit religious organizations, substantially burdens their right to practice their religion in violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), 42 U.S.C. § 2000bb, has rejected the argument.
That includes the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which in June 2014 affirmed the denial of a request for an injunction prohibiting the government from enforcing the regulations against the faith-based plaintiffs. The plaintiffs in December 2014 asked the Supreme Court for review, and the court granted review, vacated the decision and remanded the case to the appeals court.
The Sixth Circuit had followed the reasoning of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, which held previously that the accommodation relieved religious nonprofits of an obligation to provide the objected-to coverage and that their certification of their position to the government didn't facilitate or trigger the coverage. The Supreme Court granted review on that decision, vacated it and sent it back to the appeals court in March. The appeals court heard oral arguments April 22.
Leila Abolfazli, senior counsel in the Health and Reproductive Rights Program at the National Women's Law Center in Washington, told Bloomberg BNA that she doesn't read too much into the Supreme Court's order addressing the Sixth Circuit's decision that the Michigan Catholic Conference and other plaintiffs likely wouldn't succeed in their RFRA challenge.
Asking an appeals court to take a second look at a decision that was issued prior to a major Supreme Court ruling on a similar issue "is a normal procedure," she said. In this instance, the Catholic group argued that the Sixth Circuit might have ruled differently had it had the benefit of the Supreme Court's ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., 2014 BL 180313 (U.S. June 30, 2014). In that decision, the high court said the so-called contraceptive mandate violated RFRA with respect to closely held for-profit corporations whose owners objected to providing the coverage on religious grounds.
As pointed out by the government in various cases, the contraceptive mandate as applied to nonprofit religious organizations differs from the version of the regulations applied to for-profit companies because the government developed an accommodation by which religious groups may opt out of directly providing the insurance. The challengers argued that, even under the accommodation, the regulations require them to take action that offends their religious beliefs.
Mark Rienzi, senior counsel of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty in Washington, said the court's action sends "a strong signal that the Supreme Court will ultimately reject the government's narrow view of religious liberty."
Becket, which filed an amicus brief in the case, said that this is "the sixth time in a row" that the Supreme Court has taken "steps to protect another religious objector from the contraceptive mandate." It pointed out that the court has issued emergency orders in several cases, most recently one involving two Pennsylvania Roman Catholic dioceses in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, that preclude the government from enforcing the mandate against nonprofit religious organizations.
According to Rienzi, the "government keeps making the same bad arguments and the Supreme Court keeps rejecting them—every single time. This is because the government can obviously come up with ways to distribute contraceptives without the forced involvement of Catholic ministries."
Becket said that lower courts, given the high court's decision to grant review and vacate in the Sixth Circuit case, are "less likely" to "accept arguments the Supreme Court has rejected over and over and over again."
Abolfazli said, however, that the Supreme Court's actions so far don't necessarily represent a setback for the government in its push to implement the contraceptive coverage regulations. Several appeals courts heard oral argument on the issue in December 2014 and the first quarter of 2015.
It "remains to be seen what will happen in those circuits," she said.
Additionally, she said she doesn't foresee the Sixth or Seventh Circuit changing their decisions. And Justice Samuel A. Alito's emergency order in the Third Circuit case merely gave the challengers relief from an order allowing enforcement of the mandate pending their completion of a petition for a writ of certiorari, she said.
Abolfazli also noted that the two cases granted review and vacated by the Supreme Court were decided before Hobby Lobby, while those in which review is likely to be sought soon were decided after. Parties interested in the issue are in a "waiting pattern" at this point, she said.
Currently, there is no circuit split, Abolfazli said, referring to one of the high court's chief reasons for granting review. If one of those other circuits should decide the other way in a more recently argued case, resulting in a split, the court might be more likely to grant review, she said. On the other hand, if those circuits agree with the decisions to date, there would be less reason for the high court to consider the issue.

Go Ape in Uganda
Polo and Brunch in Boston
If you don't have plans for Oct. 5, it's a glorious weekend to celebrate the end of summer and the dazzling spectacle of autumn, as the 120th season of summer polo matches comes to a close.
On that Sunday, the final polo game of summer 2008 will be played at Boston's venerable Myopia Polo Club. Opened in 1888, it's the oldest polo grounds in the U.S.
The city's equally prestigious Taj Boston Hotel presents a very compelling reason to make a weekend of it. Their polo weekend package for two includes a luxurious Garden View Suite, a dinner for two, tickets to the Sunday match, chauffeured transportation, and a champagne tailgate picnic prepared by Taj Boston chefs. Price: $1,295.
Before the match, or any Sunday from now until Nov. 16, don't miss the autumn colors from the 17th floor rooftop of the Taj. The hotel's spectacular Brunch on the Roof is by reservation only (617-598-5255) and between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The price is $62 not including tax and gratuities. Hotel reservations: www.tajhotels.com.
WaterFire festival Indulgence in Providence
If youthful, artful, classical Providence, R.I., was trying to remain a best-kept secret, too bad.
The newly reclaimed Providence River snakes its way smack through the chic urban center, which positively sparkles with restored turn-of-the-century buildings. Between three converging rivers and the green spaces, narrow streets embrace boutiques, cafes, and bistros, performing and fine arts centers. Nearby is Federal Hill, one of the most charming Little Italy enclaves in America.
Absolutely the best time to go this fall is the weekend of Oct. 11, when the city wraps up its summer with the last WaterFire, a multisensory event that starts at twilight and lasts all night long. The night sky, the river and the gleaming cityscape are ablaze with the colorful reflection of 100 torch-lit fires in floating braziers on the river. There's music, art, performances, and dance, from waltzing under the stars, to salsa dancing in the streets.
The transformation of Providence transcends the river and streetscapes. You can sleep in neoclassical glam at a former Masonic Lodge or artsy loft-chic at my two favorite hotels, the Renaissance Providence Hotel and the NYLO Hotel Warwick.
Book a sensuous-to-the-max suite at the Renaissance Providence Hotel, an imposing neoclassical palace in the shadow of the marble state house, and a stroll-distance to all the WaterFire events.
Built in 1929 as a Masonic Hall it was, in 2007, the most ambitious restoration in Rhode Island history. Indulge yourself in the luxury of the Presidential Suite: $4,300 plus tax for two nights. The Vice Presidential Suite, almost as spacious, is $3,500.
Prepare to be indulged. More at www.marriott.com.
Been there, done that? Not the brand new NYLO Hotel Warwick, you haven't. Check out the former Pontiac Mills (home of Fruit of the Loom underwear) rescued from ruin to emerge this month as an edgy, urban-chic 163-room loft-style hotel.
Perched on the edge of the Pawtuxet River, and drenched in original local art, its designers boldly borrowed industrial elements from the 1870s mill era for the most refreshing hotel experience to emerge in decades. The gorgeous, sleek, young staff, all in black and white, look like aspiring New York models.
Got allergies? There's a whole floor of allergen-free Pure Lofts. Don't look for the marquee — there isn't one. And wait till you see the beyond avant-garde chrome and teal restaurant. If it weren't for the menu — gourmet comfort food with a Rhode Island accent — you'd swear you were in Milan, New York, or Paris.
Grand opening rates are downright alluring. For just $800, the two of you get two nights in one of the four luxe suites, private transport to WaterFire in a Lincoln Town Car, and breakfasts and dinners in The Loft. Airport transfers are complimentary.
Prepare to be enchanted. See www.nylohotels.com.
Fashionista Getaway in Los Cabos
Style-conscious ladies: pack lightly and follow the catwalk this November to the Marquis Los Cabos (Mexico) for its "Fashionista Getaway" including a preview of the 2009 Pineda Covalin spring collection.

The fashionable Cabo resort, with its 15,000-square-foot Spa Marquis, sits in a beach and garden setting at the tip of the Baja peninsula.
Your casita overlooking the Sea of Cortez ($780 per night including room service breakfast) comes with goose-down comforters, Frette bed linens, high-speed Internet access, and an ocean-view, hydro-massage bath.
Pick any four nights between Nov. 20-26, and your personal invitation to the fashion event is included. The package rate extends to Nov. 30. Guests get first dibs at the latest items from the collection, from $60 ties to elaborate $1,600 shawls.
See the collection at www.pinedacovalin.com, and then reserve your casita at www.marquisloscabos.com.
If you're yearning to go on a gorilla safari, here's all you need to know: Volcanoes Safaris. The unique ecotourism company just celebrated the 10th year of its sustainable tourism program to introduce travelers to the great apes of Africa. Once faced with extinction, only 700 mountain gorillas survive.
Volcanoes Safaris takes you gorilla and chimpanzee tracking in Bwindi and Mgahinga in Uganda or in Parc National des Volcans in Rwanda, overnighting at charming eco-lodges in these parks. The excursions help fund conservation and community projects such as schools, roads, clinics, and community centers.
Funding partners for the sensitively designed programs include the British government, private, and public companies.
You could join a scheduled 12-day Classic Uganda and Rwanda safari at $6,500 per person, but for about $1,500 more you can tailor your own itinerary to add some intriguing optional excursions. If money's no object, the new Flying Safari option (about $3,000-$5,000) eliminates some of the road travel.
Besides the primate game drives (including your personal gorilla permit), your 12-day privately guided Classic Uganda and Rwanda safari also includes lion and other wildlife sightings, visits to frontier towns, artisans' villages and road markets, volcano excursions, guided hikes, spectacular bird-viewing on the Kazinga Channel, and lots more.
Your stays at Volcanoes' all-inclusive gorilla lodges also include unlimited beverages (alcoholic and non), and a complimentary massage.
For a poignant piece of African history, you can visit Dian Fossey's grave, a genocide memorial, or an orphanage, and make other optional side trips tailored just for you. Go to www.volcanoessafaris.com.

I made
chicken Strips but cutting a breast into 3 strips,
then smashed up 4 crackers (PARADISE Lites White Crispbread)
rolled them in egg, then flour and then in the cracker crumbs.
cooked in the oven with no oil or nothing
then one strip (I save the others for another day)
put in a wrap (bazaar mini wrap)
with lettuce and weight watchers cheese (2 potato peels slices, i have to use a peeler i cant cut thin)
topped with a little mayo (Hellman's low fat mayo. its the only low fat one i like. my mum gave it to me but i cant ever find it in the shop
ok so that was lunch today

The uncomfortable ride on a camel through Jaisalmer's desert
I was hesitant about going on a safari through Jaisalmer's desert on the back of camel. I am no animal activist, but after what I had seen in Thailand with the elephants, I really didn't want to contribute to the harming of animals for tourism.
So I did my research before committing to the safari and came to the conclusion riding camels outside their natural environment and on hard surfaces such as asphalt is not recommended. We have witnessed plenty of this throughout our travels in India and many of the camels appeared to be underweight and slightly depressed.
Camel racing also gets a negative wrap, not that we have a great interest in this spectacle and of course riding on camels showing signs of harm, abuse or malnutrition.
Armed with a little knowledge, we decided to commit to an afternoon safari to see the sunset in the desert and enjoy a camp style meal. We had agreed, if we felt in anyway the camels were not properly looked after, we would not continue with the safari.
Together with two guys and a girl from Spain and a lonely Swiss man we headed out of town in a beaten up Jeep. About 40mins into our journey we slowed down and came to a stop outside a group of clay houses. Our driver stopped to have a short conversation with a man and his three camels before we were told we can get out and walk around the gypsy village.
We didn't know the visit here was part of the safari, but we were intrigued and followed our group into the village. As we walked Chris said to me "here we go, we are about to get mobbed". Sure enough kids had surrounded us and in particular Chris who was carrying Jack. They were all fascinated by this little white boy and began touching him, his clothes and playing with his hair.
All of us had cameras around our neck and at first the kids wanted their photos taken, loving seeing themselves on the screen. But then we were asked for money, food or the clothes we were wearing, in particular our scarves. A woman with a baby no more than 3 months old asked for my scarf to cover her head from the sun. It's hard to say no, but you are warned when you travel to India not to support the begging and poverty. It is recommended if you wish to donate, to do so direct with organisations such as orphanages and women's homes.
As we were leaving the village the women and children started grabbing at our bags and cameras trying to rip our scarves off. It was a strange situation and I was perplexed as to why a tour company would take tourists there without prior warning. It we had known, perhaps we would have been better prepared, taking some food or supplies as an offering.
After 30 minutes we all jumped back into the bus and continued the journey with the kids running behind the car. Another 30 minutes later we arrived at a small homestead where six camels sat all saddled up ready for our journey.
We met the camel owner and his two offsiders before being shown to our individual camels. Chris and Jack were appointed the docile Mr. Johnny and I to Papaya. The camels looked healthy and well fed and had no sign of injury or wounds. Now I'm no camel expert, but they appeared to be in good condition and well looked after.
So on we got and in a matter of seconds, I was hanging on for dear life as Papaya stood up. It's at this point you really realise just how long the legs of camels really are. Now for Jack's turn and I knew this might scare the bejeezus out of him and sure enough it did! But within a couple of minutes he became excited that he was riding a camel.
Once we were all on, we set off with Papaya and I taking the lead with our 12 year old camel handler, and Chris, Jack and Mr Johnny bringing up the rear. We had no idea how long the journey was going to be, but for those who haven't ridden a camel after about 10 minutes you are ready to get off. I grew up riding horses and although its been over 10 years since I last rode, I distinctly remember it being more pleasant than this. Everything was hurting and when my Swiss friend travelling behind asked me how long we were to ride for, I knew it was not only me feeling the pain.
The 12 year old boy who was leading my camel with a rope slung over his shoulder told me he lived at the homestead where the camels are kept. He spends the day at school before working with his uncle taking tourists on camel safaris. We chatted throughout the ride with him telling me about his school and the lovely Madame teacher he has. It was nice to hear he loved all six classes he attended and that he also enjoyed working with his uncle.
His uncle owns the camels and trains them to carry tourists into the desert, forming a close bond with the animals. Later when I ask about the process of the camels being broken in, his uncle told me it is a long process. For a year they just get used to being led around, before having a saddle on their back. After a few months, they are ridden for the first time for just a short period of time. This is gradually increased over a year before they are ready to take longer journeys through the desert.
I asked the uncle whether the camels required any force or whipping in order to train them. He shook his head and to my relief, he said no. Whether that is true or not, I'm not sure, but it does seem a longer more calm process than that of breaking in horses.
I regularly looked back at Mr Johnny and was happy to see Jack enjoying the ride with Chris. After about an hour of walking through the desert, up and down slopes and dodging cacti, we arrived at the foot of some sand dunes.
Up until then, the landscape had been pretty much the same – small shrubs and large cacti planted in a dusty, sandy but firm surface. In the background stood several wind turbines powering in the breeze. It was also surprisingly cool compared to being in the city.
The guides and camel handlers set up and started a campfire nestled in behind some small native shrubs protecting themselves against the wind. Us stupid foreigners sat in an area where the wind funnelled through bringing the sand with it. The plate of homemade Indian chips was covered in sand within seconds, not that Jack minded.
So our entrée was ruined but the main was yet to come and after a little wait we were served a delicious potato curry with rice and nann bread. It was great to watch the cook make the dough right there, although as we have learnt it is not natural for Indians to ask you to join them or tell you what is going on. So we had to invite ourselves for a look.
Sunset was a bit of a non-event, but the peace and quiet was pure bliss. No horns, no rubbish, no beggers or store men asking us to have a look in their shop. No one else was in sight except for our guides, the camels and the six of us tourists. The camels freely roamed the area eating the leaves of the trees and shrubs while we relaxed.
After wandering the area and playing with Jack running up and down the dunes it was time to go. Whilst the others stayed to sleep on the sand under the stars we made the trek back in the Jeep for town. Pitch black on a very rocky road we slowly drove to the main road. With the windows down and a cool breeze on our face, it was nice to get a good look at the remote area. That was until we experienced the randomness of Indian driving as we hurtled towards another car both flashing their head lights until just in the nick of time one veered to the side.
I was relieved when we made it back into the Fort. Another day in India down.

Microsoft's always looking to protect its investments from piracy. It has been rumored that Microsoft will be integrating cloud based services into Window 8. Now, Rumorpedia reports that
"Windows 8 will synchronize a couple of kernel files directly from Microsoft cloud servers, not only preventing privacy (at least temporary) but also allowing instant system updates for some of the components (no reboot required).
Now, if your connection dies, it'll use a backup kernel file that's stored in your actual computer so essentially, Internet isn't required.
However, when you run Windows 8 for the very first time, it'll try to establish a connection to Microsoft servers and download the most recent files."
If Microsoft does implement this feature, depending on how regularly they update the kernel files on the servers, it could pose a serious blockade for would be pirates.

An Imperfect Bike Mecca Offers Lessons
Writing for Next American City, Jay Walljasper sees lessons in Portland for other cities to improve their bikeability.
"After spending several days exploring Portland as part of a Bikes Belong Foundation-sponsored transportation workshop for city officials from across the country, I must admit that Portland offers a wealth of inspiration and practical tips for how we can make our towns more bikeable, vital and fun.
Yet, as the delegation of transportation leaders from Chicago, Houston, Seattle, Minneapolis and Salt Lake City discovered while biking across the city, Portland is no Ecotopia. Local bikers still contend with roaring traffic on crowded streets and motorists who park illegally in bike lanes or honk for no apparent reason. As Laura Spanjian, Sustainability Director in the Houston mayor's office, observed, 'I was surprised there's so much traffic. Actually that made me hopeful-that we can do some of the same things in Houston even with all our traffic.'"

Web services application development is a huge topic covering a broad range of technologies and topics. In this article we will discuss Web services development in J2EE and examine the Model/View/Controller design pattern, thereby explaining how it separates business logic implementation and persistence from presentation. We shall briefly introduce the Struts Framework, one that facilitates web services development within the IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer edition. (This article was originally published in the June 2004 issue of Plug-In).
WebSphere architects have taken the MVC concept one step further by applying the Mediator design pattern introduced in Design Patterns by Erich Gamma. The Mediator/Controller pattern places another layer of indirection between the view and the model/domain. The Mediator/Controller captures and decouples application-specific functionality from presentation technology by implementing behavior usually existing as methods in presentation classes.
The mediator can be better understood by viewing it as an abstract interface that must be implemented by providing a concrete mediator object. When a client submits a request, the mediator intercepts the request and delegates the task to a concrete class of objects to fulfill mediator/controller directed tasks. The mediator is also responsible for controlling and coordinating the interactions of groups of objects. As Gamma explains, the Mediator serves as an intermediary that keeps objects in the group from referring to each other explicitly. The objects only know the mediator, thereby reducing the number of interconnections. Doing so places behavior in one class, thus allowing the behavior to be modified or replaced locally. Abstract interface substitutability is the key to object reuse.
Introducing the Front Controller Pattern
The J2EE specification contains the Front Controller Pattern, a design pattern that defines how a Web tier controller should be implemented. It is located at http://java.sun.com/blueprints/patterns/index.html. It reads as follows: The Front Controller pattern defines a single component that is responsible for processing application requests. A front controller centralizes functions such as view selection, security, and templating, and applies them consistently across all pages or views. Consequently, when the behavior of these functions needs to change, only a small part of the application needs to be modified. This is precisely the methodology the Jakarta Struts framework uses. The framework is comprised of several classes/components. In addition, the framework organizes design patterns and provides a generic approach to designing Web applications.
The Struts framework was created by Craig R. McClanahan in 2000. As previously demonstrated in the illustration, the Struts framework resides within the Web container component. This allows the Struts application to leverage the advantages of services provided by the container, i.e. managing requests via the HTTP and HTTPS protocols.
The Struts Framework provides a modular framework fromwhich you can develop your Web application. It is comprised ofa controller servlet, numerous beans and classes, configurationfiles, and tag libraries. Lets review some of the components theFramework supports:
The Bean Tag library encapsulates tags needed to display staticand dynamic Web pages. The tags are used to store and displaydata, write international type messages, and embed scriptlets forJSPs. Here is a list of tags included in the Bean Tag library:
The HTML Tag library includes tags for all standard HTML controls. This library provides two important features: linking and internationalization. The tags are used to create page links in two formats: hyperlink or anchor.
The Logic Tag library is directly responsible for basic first and second order logic functions utilized to portray JSP flow and functionality as well as the controls they provide, depending on the state of the form beans and input beans.
The Template Tag library offers support for creating dynamic templates based on the JSP Framework for all pages sharing a common format. These are similar to style sheets or the standard include directive in JSP technology. They are dynamic. Here are three template tags:
In order to bring all of these components together, we use a set of XML-configuration files to store mappings of different actions.
Happy computing!

This 2004 Chrysler Crossfire is for sale on eBay in Pierre, South Dakota with a current bid of $3,100 and a buy-it-now price of $7,500. Someone replaced the factory installed 3.2 L M112 V6 with a 5.3 L LSx V8. The V8 features a LS2 intake, LS9 camshaft, head studs, and "other goodies". The drivetrain features a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a Posi rear end. The coupe uses a 2002 Camaro gauge cluster and does not have air conditioning. The seller says it needs a compressor and bracket to work.

Peter Jenner wishes the song was released: "I always thought they should be put out, so I let my copies be heard. I knew that Roger would never let them out, or Dave. They somehow felt they were a bit indecent, like putting out nude pictures of a famous actress: it just wasn't cricket. But I thought they were good songs and great pieces of art. They're disturbing, and not a lot of fun, but they're some of Syd's finest work – though God knows, I wouldn't wish anyone to go through what he's gone through to get to those songs. They're like Van Gogh."

Pink Floyd Vegetable Man
In yellow shoes I get the blues
Though I walk the streets with my plastic feet
With my blue velvet trousers, make me feel pink
There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt I look a jerk
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight
But oh oh my haircut looks so bad
Vegetable man how are you?
So I've changed my gear, and I find my knees,
And I covered them up with the latest cut,
And my pants and socks all point in a box,
They don't make long of my nylon socks,
The watch, black watch
My watch with a black face
And a big pin, a little hole,
And all the lot is what I got,
It's what I wear, it's what you see,
It must be me, it's what I am,
Vegetable man.
I've been looking all over the place for a place for me,
But it ain't anywhere, it just ain't anywhere.
Vegetable man, vegetable man,
He's the kind of person, you just gonna see him if you can,
Vegetable Man.

I love the Christmas season…the anticipation of children, the lights and decorations on the houses in our South Philly Streets…
I also love to read Christmas books, and I read them all year long…
Since July brings us halfway to the Holiday season, and my Mom insists that looking at snow on book covers brings some relief from summer heat, I've decided to feature some Christmas books for the next four weeks. Like me, you may find a new read for your "TBR List." If you have any of your own favorites that you would like to share, please feel free to leave a comment.
Enjoy, and have a great week!
Perfect Strangers by Morgan K. Wyatt
Cinda isn't ready to become a glorious butterfly. She's still in the caterpillar stage with her generous curves. All she really wants is for a man to appreciate who she is. The way Jack did when they met at the airport. They shared a romantic day as they both waited for their flights. He kissed her goodbye and tucked his card in her suit pocket with instructions to call. It figures she'd lose his card. Luck never dealt her a romantic winning hand, but it's time to reshuffle the cards.
Six months fantasizing about Jack was enough. Raven determines not only to help her friend to become the butterfly she is, but also to give her friend a gift she'll never forget. Cinda voices her doubts about attending the masquerade ball. Raven reveals that Santa left her special gift at the ball. Her job is to retrieve it.

Trap Grounds
13 April. Trap Grounds is an area of scrubland and reed beds between Oxford Canal and the railway line in the northern suburbs of Oxford. In 2004 the Friends of the Trap Grounds fought a lengthy legal battle to stop development on the site - a case which reached the House of Lords - arguing that the site was a Town Green under the Commons Registration Act, which affirms the right of local people to the continued use of unfenced land for recreation when it has been used that way for at least twenty years.

Prayer is one of those things in the Christian life that we all say we know we need, but, if we are honest, we all struggle with. That is why we need books like Talking With God. I was very pleased with this book. It is a subject that I am always seeking to improve in my life, and this book had some valuable insights into steps to take to improve it. I really appreciate how incredibly practical the book is. The book is very conversational in its approach, and therefore, it is very accessible as well for anyone seeking to grow their prayer life. I love what he wrote on page 35 where he says, "I don't need to be uptight and serious when I pray. Yes, it's good to have a healthy reverence of and respect for God. But you don't have to be emotionless or somber. There's no need to practice our prayers before speaking them. God is abundantly loving and gracious. It isn't a sin to smile or laugh when we're speaking with God." So true and so freeing. I would strongly recommend this book to all believers young and old.

Not to mention, the Kansas State Wildcats, Missouri Tigers, Baylor Bears, Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Oklahoma Sooners all reached the top-25.
With that said, the RPI rating for the Big 12 was atop of College Basketball. This season, nothing changes.
The Big 12 will still be one of the toughest conferences but it does have a new leader.
The Kansas State Wildcats was recently picked as the No. 1 overall team in the Big 12 by the coaches. The Jayhawks were selected to finish second, and the Longhorns following at three.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders believe they'll have a productive season, and the Jayhawks want to rebound. While the Wildcats are looking to live up to their expectations as the No. 3 team in the nation.
This year in the Big 12 will be tough. Here is a preview of the tough conference.
Kansas State Wildcats - The Wildcats returned almost every significant player from last year's Elite Eight squad besides lead guard Denis Clemente. However, they did return Jacob Pullen their leading scorer. With Pullen leading the way, Head Coach Frank Martin can't stop saying good things about his senior guard. "Jacob has been unbelievable in the commitment he has made to grow as a human being, as a player, to lead our program," said Coach Martin. The Wildcats have high expectations with a No. 3 overall ranking in College Basketball, but with Pullen leading the way along with Curtis Kelly, and Jamar Samuels the Wildcats will have a lot of fun this year.
Colorado Buffaloes - The Buffaloes returned their leader Cory Higgins, who scored 18.9 points per game last season. Alec Burks wasn't far behind Higgins with 17.1 points per outing, and he returned as well. With this dynamic backcourt duo, the Buffs' are my team to watch. "He (Alec) is a guy that can create for himself and he can create for his teammates," said Head Coach Tad Boyle. He also spoke about Higgins saying "He's a terrific player, and he's a guy, again, that has the respect of all his teammates." Burks, and Higgins cannot do it all for Colorado. So if other role players step up and commend their efforts, the Buffs' might be one of the top teams in the Big 12.
Kansas Jayhawks - The Jayhawks did acquire one of the most talented recruits in the 2010 class, and retained special players from last year's squad, but they are not a No. 2 caliber team in the Big 12. With the notion that Josh Selby will not be given eligibility the Jayhawks certainly will not have a productive season. Sherron Collins made significant plays last season for the Jayhawks down the stretch. This season, the Jayhawks do not have Collins, and no other player with the mentality to take over in late game situations.
Texas Longhorns - Last season, at the midpoint the Longhorns were the No. 1 overall team, with a 17-0 record. However, after that the Longhorns disappointed. The lack of a true point guard was showcased during both the Texas Tech, and Kansas State game. One game was won, however, the other was loss. The Longhorns did return J'Covan Brown, and acquired both Tristian Thompson, along with Corey Joseph. If the Longhorns can establish a leader, they're worthy of their No. 3 ranking. However, if they cannot they'll disappoint their fans for the second straight year.
Jacob Pullen (KSU) - I don't think there's a player in the NCAA that means more to their team than Jacob Pullen. Pullen led the Wildcats last season with 19.3 points per game, while scoring 22.7 during the NCAA tournament. He returns his skills to a loaded Kansas State team that was tabbed as the No. 3 team in the nation, and selected to win the Big 12 conference.
Most Improved Player
Dash Harris (TA&M) - In 26 minutes of action Dash Harris accumulated 4.9 points, 3.4 assist, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game. His all around skill-set will only get better this season. With more minutes, Harris production should increase as well.
Top Newcomer
Perry Jones (BU) - Perry Jones stands at 6-foot-10, and has the ability to handle the ball, shoot, and penetrate the lane. Jones is a big forward and could play on the wing and post. With that said, the Bears possess one of the top players in the Big 12. His versatility should be emphasized a lot this season, allowing him to produce consistently.
All Big 12 First Team
G - Jacob Pullen, G - LaceDarius Dunn, G - Alec Burks, F - Curtis Kelly, F - Marcus Morris

oooh I hate the wind . . .
It's half way through the first week of my well deserved summer holiday, and we have had the worst 'summer' weather ever! Winter storms and pounding wind all week.
The green way down the road from our house has the coolest field type bunny tails and grasses . . . looks so beautiful in the wind.
I'm very upset because my favourite jeans are finally giving in, after 3 years. I bought them just before the SKINNY JEAN craze hit, so that's a very long time to have survived . . . Impressed with Woolworths :)

Online models/photomodels directory
Budget $300-1500 USD
I need a complete website to run a models/photomodels directory online. Design should be nice but simple with intuitive navigation.
The system should allow the following:
- model/photomodel creates the account where he/she can put all the important detalis like: name, password, date of birth, city, sex, weight, height, breast size, bust size, hips size, eyes color, hair color and lenght etc. He/she also describes the area of work she accepts: model, photomodel, hostess and also the type of posing she can do: portrait, fashion, bikini, lingerie, artistic nudity, topless, soft erotic, erotic. In addition there is a field to select the experience level: professional, semi professional, amateur, beginner and the combo where she/he chooses the desired salary per working day (couple of ranges). Terms of service must be read and agreed.
- model attaches couple of images that get automatically resized and thumbnails get created; option for online cropping would be also great.
- model gets conformation email, where he/she has to click a link to confirm the submission and email address.
- the model profile is not visible till the admin accepts the submission. admin should have the possibility to make some edits if needed and recrop/delete images if needed.
- the profile gets online after admin acceptance
- searching for certain models by any of the criteria in profile
- some kind of lightbox would be good
- to contact the model user needs to register - messages are available for models only thru the internal messaging system. models get the information email about the new message waiting. he/she can reply thru the internal message system, offerer gets the information about the new message waiting.
- possibility to rate models would be good, but not required
- new models section
I believe that somebody who decides to make the scripts fully understands how such a website should work, so some features should be obvious and do not need the detailed description. The website itself should be easy to translate and support 2 language versions.
I prefer to see the working demos of such or similar software.

Previously in Herodotus
135. Now at Naucratis, as it happens, the courtesans are rather apt to win credit; for this woman first, about whom the story to which I refer is told, became so famous that all the Hellenes without exception come to know the name of Rhodopis, and then after her one whose name was Archidiche became a subject of song over all Hellas, though she was less talked of than the other. As for Charaxos, when after redeeming Rhodopis he returned back to Mytilene, Sappho in an ode violently abused him. Of Rhodopis then I shall say no more.
136. After Mykerinos the priests said Asychis became king of Egypt, and he made for Hephaistos the temple gateway which is towards the rising sun, by far the most beautiful and the largest of the gateways; for while they all have figures carved upon them and innumerable ornaments of building besides, this has them very much more than the rest. In this king's reign they told me that, as the circulation of money was very slow, a law was made for the Egyptians that a man might have that money lent to him which he needed, by offering as security the dead body of his father; and there was added moreover to this law another, namely that he who lent the money should have a claim also to the whole sepulchral chamber belonging to him who received it, and that the man who offered that security should be subject to this penalty, if he refused to pay back
the debt, namely that neither the man himself should be allowed to have burial when he died, either in that family burial-place or in any other, nor should he be allowed to bury any one of his kinsmen whom he lost by death. This king desiring to surpass the kings of Egypt who had arisen before him left as a memorial of himself a pyramid which he made of bricks, and on it there is an inscription carved in stone and saying thus: "Despise not me in comparison with the pyramids of stone, seeing that I excel them as much as Zeus excels the other gods; for with a pole they struck into the lake, and whatever of the mud attached itself to the pole, this they gathered up and made bricks, and in such manner they finished me."
137. Such were the deeds which this king performed; and after him reigned a blind man of the city of Anysis, whose name was Anysis. In his reign the Ethiopians and Sabacos the king of the Ethiopians marched upon Egypt with a great host of men; so this blind man departed, flying to the fen-country, and the Ethiopian was king over Egypt for fifty years, during which he performed deeds as follows: -- whenever any man of the Egyptians committed any transgression, he would never put him to death, but he gave sentence upon each man according to the greatness of the wrong-doing, appointing them work at throwing up an embankment before that city from whence each man came of those who committed wrong. Thus the cities were made higher still than before; for they were embanked first by those who dug the channels in the reign of Sesostris, and then secondly in the reign of the Ethiopian, and thus they were made very high: and while other cities in Egypt also stood high, I think in the town at Bubastis especially the earth was piled up. In this city there is a temple very
well worthy of mention, for though there are other temples which are larger and built with more cost, none more than this is a pleasure to the eyes.
138. Now Bubastis in the Hellenic tongue is Artemis and her temple is ordered thus:--Except the entrance it is completely surrounded by water; for channels come in from the Nile, not joining one another, but each extending as far as the entrance of the temple, one flowing round on the one side and the other on the other side, each a hundred feet broad and shaded over with trees; and the gateway has a height of ten fathoms, and it is adorned with figures six cubits high, very noteworthy. This temple is in the middle of the city and is looked down upon from all sides as one goes round, for since the city has been banked up to a height, while the temple has not been moved from the place where it was at the first built, it is possible to look down into it: and round it runs a stone wall with figures carved upon it, while within it there is a grove of very large trees planted round a large temple-house, within which is the image of the goddess: and the breadth and length of the temple is a furlong every way. Opposite the entrance there is a road paved with stone for about three furlongs, which leads through the market-place towards the East, with a breadth of about four hundred feet; and on this side and on that grow trees of height reaching to heaven: and the road leads to the temple of Hermes. This temple then is thus ordered.
139. The final deliverance from the Ethiopian came about (they said) as follows:--he fled away because he had seen in his sleep a vision, in which it seemed to him that a man came and stood by him and counselled him to gather together all the priests of Egypt and cut them asunder in the midst. Having seen this dream, he said that it seemed to him that the gods were foreshowing him this to furnish an occasion against him, in order that he might do an impious deed with respect to religion, and so receive some evil either from the gods or from men: he would not however do so, but in truth (he said) the time had expired, during which it had been prophesied to him that he should rule Egypt before he departed thence. For when he was in Ethiopia the Oracles which the Ethiopians consult had told him that it was fated for him to rule Egypt fifty years: since then this time was now expiring, and the vision of the dream also disturbed him, Sabacos departed out of Egypt of his own free will.

eTwinning e la realtà - Europe Calling
True, we couldn't stop exploring the web & meeting online, and given more time, lots of us eTwinners spent the hot afternoons trying out new tools, planning future projects and devising new ways to spread our ideas and experiences throughout Europe.
And, as for us...
The 'eTwinning e la realtà' teachers' room went on being our meeting point, and that's where Antonella first got the crazy idea of a multilingual issue of our e-magazine. "We can translate our articles... we can ask our partners for help... we will help each other... we will make it!"
We were a bit anxious at first, but she was right - we could definitely rely on the eTwinners' skills in collaboration.
So, a group of enthusiastic/crazy teachers spent some of their summer translating the articles, laughing when they got mixed up or when they needed some funny periphrasis because "I can't find the word", asking each other for help, and chatting a lot. We were thrilled: we could get in contact with teachers from different countries, going beyond the national dimension.
Here's the outcome of our summer collaboration: a special multilingual issue of the "eTwinning e la realtà" emagazine, with articles in English, Hungarian, French & Italian.
That's our eTwinning gift to celebrate the new school year.
We hope other eTwinners, throughout Europe, will read our stories and find them useful and inspiring.
And we hope we'll go on collaborating, and widening our circle.
I thank all of the teachers who created the ebook.
Welcome back to school everybody... enjoy our new emagazine!

Dear Laura, Dear LLT Friends,ReplyDelete
I am happy to see and read the new multilingual e-book.I think, it's special one, it's the result of a great collaboration. And what could be better for us at the very beinning of a new school year? :)
Hope,all of us will find new and old colleagues to help us in our schools, and hope, we can help other colleagues as well. And not "only" in our schools, but colleagues and friends in other countries.
With e-books, with our meetings here and for example in eTwinning teachers' room we are not alone to work and find a solution for some difficult situation!
We can read all this great articles, find new ideas, possible solutions, and nice hopes for the next time with our pupils.
I am sure, with all these projects and activities what we find in the new e-book, pupils and teachers (as the school community) had a lot of fun, and learned together in a new and interesting way with partners.
So many thanks for all great articles,for all your work you did with your colleagues (with school teams in national and international level),and thank you for being with us in the new school year too!
Hugs,and a really great school year everybody),Mónika)
Good job as usual! Can't wait for the next issue!ReplyDelete
