Improve and Expand your Business through Engineering Tools.
You might have heard about the engineering tools but do you really know that how does these engineering tools are helpful in increasing the potential growth of any business. For running any business or industry smoothly, its very necessary to ensure that all its parallel parts or unit also work efficiently and properly, and for that purpose we need an engineering tools or software which keeps track of all these things and raise an alarm when ever such predicament arises.
There are numerous industry such as aerospace and aviation airlines, automotive, chemical, electronics, consumer electronics, defense, military, energy plants,gas and oil, medical, public transportation and semiconductors, but regardless of type there are four basic tools, viz Reliability, Availability, Maintenance and Safety tools (RAMS) through which we can keep track on the performance of any industry.
Now the question may arise that, is it essential to use these tools..? The answer is yes, and here are some of the reason behind this yes.
Human Safety – The failure in the system cause some inconvinience, but sometimes failure impact might be so severe that it may cause the loss of human life, so for such situation we need a set of software tools that can simulate all kinds of failures in a system and the effects of such failures on system behavior.
Production – Every industrialist and businessman wants have more and more production so as to have maximum return on asset investment, but under intence competitive global business climate we need such software which increase the production with reduce manufacturing cost.
MTBF – MTBF is Mean Time Between Failure, it determine the estimated time of a system or machine in particular environment upto which it will last or work properly, and this estimation time could only be calculated through the help of software tools.
Asset Performance – Here Asset Performance is reffered to as the total investment that has been made while establishing the indusrty or business and the earning from the investment, for that too we need software tools to calculate the ratio of income to the investment and the way through which the profit could be increased.
Maintenance – For maintaining machines and production line we too need tools such that, it scientifically analyzes, improves and optimize all relevant aspects of maintenance strategies like replacement, repair or discard of machine, spare parts allocation & procurement and support & test equipments.
There are uncountable advantages of using engineering tools & software, such as reliability software, ILS, Maintenance software and many more, which are cost effective software as compared to its functionality and usability to give you an edge over this competitive market through innovative technology.

Time of transfer dubrovnic airport to cruise ship.

Hi Hollis We were on this trip in 2006 on the Spirit and there was a member of crew specifically to meet singles prior to meal time and introduce them to each other.If they wished to dine together they did so. This was a great service for the first few days until they found like minded folks to associate with. Walks around the dech were also as part of a group if you wished. We had a wonderful holiday and Petra was the highlight. The only consideration for you may be the very long days to the various places of interest, some 15 hours but looking at the itinary, I expect that is a given when you book this cruise, since Luxor,the valley of the kings and petra are at the limit of distance from the Red Sea. We had no problems with beggars etc at the pyramids. Lunch was at the Hilton in Luxor - very nice!! The local police have certainly sharpened up their act, even patrolling on camel! A fab itinerary and marvellous sights at all the ports of call. I'm sure that you will love the whole week!
Dear Morton, Thank you for your information, it has made me feel more confident about the cruise, and I am looking forward to seeing Petra etc. I did not notice when I booked that the dining was open, but now I'm sure I will be ok. Thank you again C Hollis .
I started cruising solo about 11 years ago but until 4 years ago that was mixed with cruises with friend or relatives where I met the bill for both of us. I then started cruising solo and now cruise mostly 3 times a year. I just adore it and it is so liberating> To have your own room and to be able to do exactly what you want to do is not having to share a bathroomf is just fantastic. I would almost never share again and I travel all over the world with confidence. The dreaded single supplement is the only drawback. I cruise mostly with Celebrity and Cunard on the QM2. There it is fixed dining and I always opt for a large table and for second sitting. I have made so many friends that I still keep in touch with and have never felt awkard or not at home. I join the roll call on Cruise Critic and so have made some contacts even before the cruise starts. They have a get together which Celebrity host for us and this would normally be on the 1st sea day. Celebrity do have a single traveller get together but I have never gone along to this because it is in the evening. Cunard on the other hand have a get together at around 11am and I have always gone to this. On my last cruise I met someone at the lifeboat drill and again at this get together. I found myself on her table at dinner and in the end there were 4 of us who met each evening. I am about to leave on the 17th November flying to Singapore spending 2 nights at the Ritz and then flying to Auckland for 2 nights again pre cruise. I embark on the Millennium for a 14 night cruise around New Zealand and crossing to Australia ending in Sydney on the 7th Dec. I then fly to Perth and will stay with my brother until the 12th January. Am I worried about going on my own absolutely not! I am excited as I prepare to set out on this venture. In March I spent 3 nights in New York prior to a cruise in the Caribbean on the QM2 and 12 nights cruise in the Med on the Summit in August/September. If you are worried about going ashore in the Ports and depending on where you are then do a ship excursion. I don't but if I felt it was unsafe to go it alone or with a group from Cruise Critic then I would do the ships excursion. I loved NY and felt totally safe there even riding the subway. All I say to you is you will enjoy it and never look back. Bon voyage!! Sue.
Thank you for the encouragement, I can see you are well travelled, yes the single supplement is a pain and the last two cruises I paid for one of my daughters to come with me, prior to that I cruised as a couple but sadly now a widow. Why I was concerned is that I have never travelled with Thompson before, and on previous cruises early sitting, on a large table where you meet the same people each evening and friends are made. On this cruise I did not notice that it is open dining, and sitting with the same people may not be as simple. But I have had some wonderful responses to my question and feel more confident. Thank you again kind regards C Hollis .
Hi there My husband and I did the same cruise in November 2007. The staff are very friendly and we had a single lady seated with us at dinner. She soon made new friends and we often talked to her on the trips. Don't worry, you will be fine.
Thank you for your encouragement. Kind regards C Hollis.
I cruised for the first time on my own, and I was on the Thomson Spirit. A Lovely ship. There is a hostess aboard who holds a lunch for singles on the 1st full day, and I met several lovely other passengers on their own. In the evening I went down to the dining room, and was astounded to be sat at a table of eight. Then the Maitre'd sat az threesome with me, and I am still friends with them, in fact they made my holiday. On the evenings or lunches when we weren't together, other people sat with me, and I made lots and lots of friends. Please go and I am sure you will enjoy yourself and make lots of "friends". The staff were wonderful too. Maddy Stock.
Thank you for your encouragement and information, I am now looking forward to the cruise. Kind Regards C Hollis .
I have sailed on many cruise ships, mainly the Marco Polo, I have made many friends and have had a great time Many of the friends I have made we keep in touch and meet up again. Hope you enjoy your cruise Happy sailing.
Thank you for your encouragement, Kind regards C Hollis.

All cruise lines are keen to get customers back on board their ships once they have taken their first cruise. To help this they all have their individual loyalty schemes, most of which were in place many years before the likes of Tesco Clubcard points and the Boots Advantage card. Most loyalty tiers are measured on how many nights you've spent on board or the number of cruises taken. The benefits vary hugely between each cruise company. Some of the benefits for repeat customers include ...

Found this on another forum it MAY be useful to users with the above error. Its NOT guaranteed to work but if you are having this problem give it a try.
These are instructions on how you might be able to fix the OSX86 "Still Waiting for Root Device" error.
These instructions may not work for you; however, I am publishing this method since the solution may save someone hours of frustration. This fix was confirmed working for someone who had successfully installed leo4all v3 and upon reboot received the above error. In this case the cause of the error is due to incompatible or incorrect kexts for your ATA controller.
Step One
Boot up using the LeoV3 DVD as if you are going to install Mac OS X again.
Step Two
Select Terminal from the Installer's Utility Menu.
Step Three
Now we are going to copy all the the ATA kexts from the install DVD to your hard drive. To do this enter a command like this:
cp -pr /Volumes/Leo4allv3/System/Library/Extensions/*ATA* /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/.
NOTE*: Replace Leo4allv3 with the name of your install dvd and replace MacHD with the name of your hard drive volume.
Step Four
Now we need to set the permissions for those kexts we copied
chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/*ATA*
chmod -R 755 /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions/*ATA*
NOTE*: Replace MacHD with the name of your hard drive volume.
Step Five
To remove the kextcache execute the following:
rm -rf /Volumes/MacHD/System/Library/Extensions.*
Note* Replace MacHD with the name of your drive volume.
Step Six
You may now restart your computer. I would suggest pressing F8 while booting and then entering -f as a boot option to force reloading of the kexts.
There are many causes of the "Still waiting for root device" error so please don't assume this will fix your problem. It is however a possible solution.

ECLIPSE MICROPEN tm
The Eclipse Micropen skin needling system allows for controlled induction of the skin's self-repair mechanism by creating micro "injuries" in the skin which trigger new collagen synthesis. The results are smoother, firmer and younger looking skin. Skin needling procedures are performed in a safe and precise manner with the use of the sterile Micropen needle head. The procedure is normally completed within 30-60 minutes depending on the required treatment and anatomical site.

Brothers added to Generals roster
May 8, 2013 at 12:08 a.m.
With the start of the Texas Collegiate League season just around the corner, the Victoria Generals have added two more players to their roster.
Brothers Nathan and Lucas Humpal, of Corpus Christi, will join the team for the 2013 season.
"Nathan and Lucas are both talented pitchers," Generals general manager Blake Koch said. "They're both excited about the opportunity to play together for most likely the last time in their baseball careers."
Nathan is a junior at St. Mary's in San Antonio and has recorded 12 strikeouts in 13.1 innings of work. Previously, the elder Humpal pitched and played first base for Wharton County Junior College. As a pitcher, Nathan struck out 20 batters in 50.1 innings and a 2.58 ERA.
Lucas, a right-handed pitcher, is in his freshman season at Texas State. He's pitched in 22 games with five starts and has posted a 3.02 ERA and 30 strikeouts.

Surprise Late-Season Melt: Arctic Sea Ice Extent Falls Below 2008 Level
The melting of the Arctic sea ice literally crossed another line yesterday, as the area of Arctic sea ice fell below the level of two years ago:
The collapse of the Arctic sea this year is only surpassed by the calamity of 2007. The four lowest years of Arctic sea ice extent are the last four years. The extent of Arctic sea ice observed yesterday is about four standard deviations below the 1979-2000 mean for that calendar day: current ice conditions are only 0.01% likely to be observed as a random event, assuming that the classic climate pattern seen in the 1979-2000 average still holds. Nothing is certain in a probabilistic science like climatology, but the existence of a climate shift here is about as close to certain as you can get.
As of yesterday, the extent of sea ice in the Arctic is still falling.

The LaGrange County 4-H Fairgrounds will be hosting the 33rd Annual Steam and Gas Show Thursday, Aug. 7, through Sunday, Aug. 10. The featured tractors will be Fergusons.
Each day the show will open at 9 a.m. and there will be steam engines, antique tractors, gas engines, antique farm machinery, sawmills, arts and crafts, and a large flea market. There is an admission fee for ages 13 and older. Exhibitors and kids ages 12 and under will get in for free.
There will be special activities all throughout the show. Friday and Saturday will include a 125-hp Erie Steam Engine operating a sawmill, wheat threshing, plowing with steam engines, and a parade of tractors and engines, a church service at 8 a.m. on Sunday, ladies' programs on Saturday, and an antique tractor pull will start at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
On Friday night the "Backwoods Ramblers" will be performing at 7 p.m. in the pavilion, and on Saturday night at 7 p.m. "Wickle Creek" will be performing in the pavilion.
This year will be the 10th annual year for the Amigo Garden Tractor Reunion at the steam and gas show. The Amigo tractor was built in Dowagiac, Mich.
There will also be an annual farm toy show featuring a variety of farm toy exhibits.
Be sure to check out the Ferguson tractor and implement display area for the featured tractors this year.
The Ferguson tractor was first invented over quite a few farming years by the Irish inventor and farmer Harry Ferguson. He experimented with mounted plows and lightweight tractors to help ease the toll that farming took on people.
Ferguson first mounted his plow on a Fordson Model F tractor. The first mounted plows ran by springs and levers but Ferguson had created a hydraulic lift system for the tractors. The idea that Ferguson was using was to take the weight of the plow and transfer it to the rear wheels of the tractor for increased traction, increasing the work that the little tractor could do.
In 1938 Ferguson decided to show his tractor to Henry Ford and they entered a handshake agreement where Ford designed and produced the Ford 9N in 1939. Shortly after World War II, Henry Ford II introduced the 8N and pulled out of the handshake agreement with Ferguson. Ferguson was not being paid royalties and he decided to file a lawsuit, resulting in Ford having to pay the largest settlement in its history at that time.
Ferguson then started producing Ferguson tractors in England to help the farmers who had been impacted by the war. The TE-20 Ferguson tractor used a Continental Z-120 engine that was built in the United States until the Standard Motors Company of England designed an engine to work.
The TO-20 Ferguson tractor was started up in Detroit, Mich., with the Continental engine in 1948. It evolved into the Z-120, Z-129, and TO-30. In the early 1950s the Ferguson tractor company merged with Massey Harris of Canada to become Massey-Ferguson.

This pan seared steak preparation is topped with a garlic and herb compound butter, resulting in a piece of beef that just melts in your mouth.
Delmonico BackgroundAccording to Wikipedia, the term Delmonico Steak refers to both a cut of beef and a presentation of steak dinner prepared from it, made world-famous by Delmonico's Restaurant in New York City during the mid 1800s.
Over the years, the term Delmonico has been applied to at least 8 different cuts of beef including Club, Strip Loin, Ribeye and Sirloin. And to this day, there are plenty of die hard foodies who still like to debate which cut was used in the original preparation. However, for the rest of us, the term Delmonico steak is used to describe what the general public would regard as "a top grade steak". When a restaurant advertises a Delmonic steak, it could be prepared any number of different ways. The recipe below is for a pan seared steak topped with a garlic and herb compound butter.
Ingredients:Grass Fed Steaks cut about 1 inch thick (Ribeye, NY Strip or Sirloin)
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher sea salt
Compound Butter (see below)
Compound Butter Ingredients:wax paper
1/4 cup Organic, unsalted butter (Room Temperature)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Compound Butter Preparation1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, parsley, lemon juice and garlic. Mix thoroughly.
2. Put the butter mixture on a piece of wax paper and form into a log shape.
3. Chill the butter log for at least one-half hour to allow the flavors to combine.
You can keep this butter chilled and just slice off pieces as needed.
Steak Preparation
- Sprinkle your grass fed steaks with the pepper and salt; then rub each steak with a small amount of olive oil.
- Pre-heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat; once it is preheated, turn the temperature down to low.
- Sear the steak on both sides (3 - 5 minutes per side)
- Reduce the heat to as low as it will go and slowly cook until it reaches your desired internal temperature (see our cooking temperature guidelines for cooking grass fed beef)
- Pull the steak off the skillet and allow it to rest for 10 minutes!
- While it is resting, slice off a piece of the compound butter and let it melt on top of the steak.

Head to Head: Bolton v Forest
Nottingham Forest travel to Bolton tonight, for the first meeting between the two sides in 11 years. The last time we met, was back in 2001 for a League Cup tie, which the Trotters won 1-0.
Forest and Bolton met three times the last time the two teams shared the same division back in the 2000/1 season in the old Division 1. They won the League Cup game 1-0 at the Reebok and also won the league game at the City Ground 2-0. The Reds' earned a 0-0 draw in the return visit to the Reebok.
The two sides have met a total of 70 times in the League. Forest have won 23, drawn 18 and lost 29 of their encounters.
Tonight's game will be shown live on Sky TV (KO: 7.45pm).

A couple of other things to keep in mind: There's a difference for the builder. If bonobo requires libxml but only gets it because of something else, different version dependancies between those two packages will change whether the failure is noticed by the pkg part of the system or the package's code. It's also possible that the implict dependance path will go away. I should be clear here that libxml is an "explicit dependance implicitly included"; that is, bonobo's configure script explicitly checks for the existence of libxml with a version > 1.8.15. > 1) If the binaries in your package depends on gnome-libs, bonobo &c > indirectly, then (on ELF systems) they'll require the exact minor > versions of those shared libraries to run, so they should all properly > be listed in the package's Makefile (though they usually aren't).

I'm not so concerned about implicit dependancies of that form. - Nathan

But I do not trust myself to fixing allthe iterators correctly to convert this completely to the new API.What I noticed trying to find the definition of sg_dma_address() isthat all architectures seem to implement identical macros forsg_dma_address() and sg_dma_length(). The only difference is that somearchs call their fields different.But I stopped looking if unifiying all names was possible when I foundswiotlb_map_sg() in lib/swiotlb.c...Why is there a comment about using "sg_dma_{address,length}(SG)" toobtain the "appropriate dma address and length" when I see no instanceof this macros there? Instead there are direct accesses to sg->lengthand sg->dma_length. And the field dma_length only exists in somearches! (alpha, ia64, powerpc only if __powerpc64__ is defined,sparc64 and the 64bit variant of x86)On the other hand I can't find any other "iova_length" in the holetree apart from include/asm-parisc/scatterlist.h...... so I can't really make sense of the sg mechanism and abstain fromtrying to fix this myself.Torsten-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to email@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Our Study Of The Letter To The Galatians Begins Monday 01/09/12The journey begins January 9, 2012 !
And because you are children,
God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying,
"Abba, Father!" Galatians 4:6
(World English Bible)
The greatest gift that the Father could give us was the Spirit of His Son, the Spirit of Sonship. Each one of us who is born again, carries within our being the very life and nature of Jesus Christ Himself. Galatians 4:7 goes on to say... "So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."(WEB)
The Spirit of the Son that lives within us continually calls out 'Abba Father!'. Abba is an Aramaic word for father that little children would call out to their dads in New Testament times. It would be like us saying 'papa' or 'daddy' in the English language. Because we carry within our very being the Spirit of the Son, our spirit within continually cries out 'Papa' to God, whether we are aware of this cry in our heart or not.
I know and believe it delights our heavenly Father when we cry out 'Abba!' to Him, for that is the very reason why God has given us the Spirit of His Son, so that He could be a Father to us. So may a cry resonate deep in our heart today as we join with the Spirit of the Son that lives within us that calls out 'Abba Father!'.
I look forward to our time together in this study, do feel free to comment question, and contribute.
Grace and Peace,
Chaplain Bill

There is this one problem in Herstein's book which recieved more comments than anything else.
"Show that is a finite abelian group has subgroups of orders and then it has a subgroup of order ".
An unfair way to solve this problem is to use the fundamental theorem on finite abelian groups, meaning since divide then so does their least common multiple. But then there exists a subgroup of that order.
I found a simplified proof to this using the first Sylow theorem. I will prove a stronger result. Let be a divisor of the order of a finite abelian group then it has a subgroup of that order. This is more than what is being asked but it works "easily".*
First, let be subgroups of a finite group. So that . Then , because if and then is a divisor of and since their orders are relatively prime it means . Now if is such a group so that for all then the group product is a subgroup. In particular if the group is abelian then this property must hold and so the group product is always a subgroup. The fundamental observation is that if are subgroups with orders which are relatively prime then is a subgroup (we are assuming we are working in a abelian group of course) is a subgroup of order . The proof behind this rests in the identity that , since as we explained that it means . Now finally we can complete the proof. Let be a divisor of the order of the finite abelian group. Certainly if then there is a subgroup of this order. So it is safe to assume that , in that case the we can factorize where each is a divisor of . By Sylow's theorem there is a subgroup having this order. If we let be the subgroup product of all then it has order because for . Now by above it shows that has order .
*)I use this expression because maybe Sylow's first theorem is considered heavy machinery. I do not consider it to be, but I have seen others think like that.

These are actually what I call "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" cookies. And they are awesome.
I decided to undertake a major pantry/baking shelf overhaul over the holidays. You know, get rid of the bag of white chocolate chips that wasn't enough for a full recipe, but enough to just throw in something. I remembered a type of cookie that I had bought once or twice (or more…) at a local grocery store which is of the same vein and name. I found a similar idea on Alice Q. Foodie's blog. I figured I would get rid of some bags of nuts/chocolate chips that I should use up…but then, as I looked around and realized the absolute potential that my pantry provided me with in the form of dried fruit, nuts, and various sweet add-ins, I got a "little" bit out of control. It then became a game of how much random stuff can I throw into a cookie, still retain a decent amount of dough, and have it taste good….I won.
These cookies are in the top three kinds of cookies that I have ever made. And the nice thing is that you can be as creative as you want. Got some leftover marshmallows? Throw them in…see what happens. Dried fruit? Ok. Leftover chocolate candies from the holidays? Why the heck not? It appears that the oatmeal-based dough is quite forgiving and holds everything together so nicely. And I love them because of their combined saltiness (ahem, leftover 1/4 bag of salted peanuts from God knows when) and sweetness. In fact, I love warm cookies, so I just put them in the microwave for 10 seconds or so and down a big glass of milk. I'm going to get mine right now….
Kitchen Sink Cookies
Servings: Approximately 24 cookies
1 and 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup sweetened dried coconut
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/2 cup dry-roasted salted peanuts
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 to 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1 and 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened but still cool
1 and 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Adjust oven racks to upper- and lower-middle positions and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line 2 large (18 by 12-inch) baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, oats, and salt in medium bowl.
4. In second medium bowl, stir together coconut,both kinds of nuts, raisins, and all kinds of chips.***This is your add-in mixture.
5. In a standing mixer fitted with flat beater, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until no sugar lumps remain, about 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula.
6. Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low speed until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl; with mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture; mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
7. With mixer still running on low, gradually add add-in mixture; mix until just incorporated. Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that dough is evenly incorporated.
8. Divide dough into even portions, then roll between palms into balls about 2 inches in diameter; stagger 8 balls on each baking sheet, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart.
9. Bake both baking sheets 12 minutes, rotating and switching baking sheet position halfway through baking
10. Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire rack 5 minutes; using wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool to room temperature.

Woman loses licence for street racing
A court has heard a disqualified "P" plater was vilified and abused after she street raced with a baby on board near Newcastle.
22-year-old Belmont woman Lucy Pamela Ferguson has been disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to pay nearly $1,000 in the form of a fine and court costs.
Belmont Local Court heard she was clocked doing 166 kilometres an hour in a 90 zone on the Newcastle inner-city bypass in December last year.
Police say the car she was racing was detected doing 186 kilometres per hour.
Ferguson had a seven-month-old baby and teenager in the car.
The court heard Ferguson was threatened by an ex-boyfriend and only accelerated to keep up with the other driver who was taking her to a safe place.
Magistrate Caleb Franklin said "she was fortunate to have been stopped before she killed herself or the child".
Her lawyer told the court her client has found the whole experience "quite horrifying" because of the publicity.
"As a result of her face appearing on the television screen she goes out shopping and is approached by people who have made derogatory comments," she said.
Magistrate Franklin said it is a very serious matter and any penalty must send a message to Ferguson and the community.

Accessories, Cheap & Chic, Fashion, Jewelry, Spas & Salons — Cheap & Chic: May 2009
ONE. Rosena Sammi Coconut Bangles – Just one of these colorful bangles makes a bold statement, which is so perfect because they're only $45 each. They have this gorgeously ornate Indian-inspired detailing that makes these seem super luxurious. Love them! – Connie
TWO. Gap Lightweight Ombre Scarf — I'm always looking for ways to add color to simple jeans and tank top outfits and this scarf from the Gap totally fits the bill. It's a lightweight cotton gauze material, making it soft and not itchy at all (that's very important to me!) The ombre design is eye-catching and unique, and it comes in four different colors, so you can mix and match with what you're wearing accordingly. The frayed fringes at the edges are cute, too. As much as I like scarves, I have a problem paying a lot for them, so the fact that these are priced at $19.50 makes me very happy. One of these might be coming home with me this weekend… – Stacey
THREE. BOBI Modal Jersey Halter Ruffle Dress — This pretty dress from Bobi is on sale for just under $50 – just in time for summer. I love the feminine detailing of the ruffle front and slim silhouette, and the cotton/modal blend of the material is so soft. The Stillwater color will make you look like a tall, cool glass of water. (It's also available in black, and would be a perfect LBD!) – Nina
FOUR. Happy Hour at Joya Spa — 'Chic' is naturally a word that everyone associates with Joya Spa, located on property at the InterContinental Montelucia Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona- but 'cheap?' Only in the best meaning possible! Every Thursday, Joya Spa offers a happy hour where guests can treat themselves to a wash, blowout, manicure and a drink for only $40. The luxury salon uses Shu Uemura's Art of Hair for a decadent experience and they have on hand a full martini bar, champagne, red wine, white wine and various mixers. The signature is the Joyatini made from pear vodka, preserved plums and a splash of fruit juice. Can't think of a better way to start off the weekend than with a fancy drink and fancy hair. Happy Hour indeed! – Carolyn
FIVE. American Apparel Unisex Fine Jersey Short Sleeve V-Neck — I never really understood the appeal of American Apparel, until I spotted one of my friends wearing their Unisex Fine Jersey Short Sleeve V Neck in Purple. I've been looking for the perfect V Neck for years, to wear with jeans or to pair casually with a short miniskirt and I finally found my match. Although this T shirt is technically Unisex, there will be no mistaking you for a boy when you wear this shirt: the V neck is low cut, and the jersey is figure hugging and shows off your curves without being too clingy. It comes in a rainbow of colors, and is one of the softest T shirts I own. I am usually firmly against buying the same thing in multiple colors, but I've made an exception for this T shirt, as I own it in both dark gray and white. Fit Tip: As it is Unisex, you will want to go one size down than your normal size to make it fit your feminine body. – Kathleen

Participants were identified via the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Northern California. A total of 298 children with ASD and 1,507 children with typical development were included in the study. Pharmacy records were used to determine maternal antidepressant usage during the year prior to delivery (i.e., the 3 months prior to conception and throughout the gestational period). Antidepressants were classified into three groups: SSRIs, dual-action antidepressants, and tri-cyclic antidepressants.
Advocating Autism Recovery & Awareness Worldwide
From July, 2011
CARD Talking About Autism Recovery
Center for Autism Ranked in Top Three Non-Governmental Organizations Providing Largest Financial Support to Autism Research
The Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc. (CARD), has been named one of the top three largest non-governmental financial supporters of autism research in the United States, and the only for-profit organization in the top three-tier ranking. The research findings come from the U.S Department of Health and Human Services' Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), whose mission is to provide a blueprint for autism research that is advisory to the Department of Health and Human Services and serves as a basis for partnerships with other agencies and private organizations involved in autism research and services.
Joe Mohs, who recovered from infantile autism as a small child, led the second half of the evening by telling the inspirational story of his triumph over the condition. Joe led a question and answer session where he spoke about his personal experience with autism, his devoted family, the life-transforming ABA program as well as his life, work and social relationships after recovery. "It's is not a cure or a remedy," Joe said while defining the term autism recovery, "it's an intensive process that requires personal commitment and sacrifice, not only during your child's treatment program but throughout his or her life." Joe's heartfelt words left the audience with a profound, positive impact and a strong sense of hope for their children. At end of the meeting, the audience was informed about how their children can benefit greatly from Skills™, the online autism treatment and training program, and CARD eLearning™.
Blue Shield of California Agrees to Cover ABA Treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders
On Monday July 11, the California Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) reached a settlement with Blue Shield of California, in which Blue Shield agreed to cover applied behavior analysis (ABA) treatment for autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
The Autspot
It's amazing how some of the most helpful ideas come from the people that actually need them the most. Just 17 years ago, my 20 year old cousin, Matthew, was diagnosed with a somewhat rare and misunderstood disorder called autism. At that time, Matthew was one of the 2,500 children in the United States with autism, which was a developmental disability that nobody in my family knew very much about. Through research and doctor's visits we were able to find our way, but throughout his adolescence, we could only wish to receive the support, knowledge, and motivation from other families in our situation. Back then, autism diagnosis was just too few and far between for us to get the necessary resources and community involvement that we needed. It was not until Matthew was a young adult that the prevalence of autism started taking such an abrupt increase in numbers around the world, and an active autism community of families, researchers, and organizations began to take shape.

Genetics versus Environment in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Potential participants were identified through the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS). Both identical and fraternal twin pairs were eligible to participate if they were born between 1987 and 2004, and at least one twin was reported to have an ASD diagnosis. A total of 1,156 twin pairs were identified through the DDS, however, due to limited participation from families, only 202 twin pairs were included in the study. All participants received comprehensive diagnostic evaluations to confirm diagnoses of autistic disorder or broader ASD.
Educators Sign Up For Skills At International Conference
Last week, educators from around the world attended the 2011 International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference in Philadelphia. Conference organizers say more 17,000 people were in attendance to see, touch, and learn about products and services from more than five hundred of the top education technology companies in the world. Many of the attendees visited the Skills™ exhibit area to learn about the web-based product to effectively design and manage a comprehensive, individualized treatment program for children with autism and related disorders.
What is ABA? Discrete Trial Training
The EIBI group of 40 hours or more a week gained an average of 20 IQ points over the two year period and 47 percent of these children reached average intellectual functioning, whereas the other groups showed no significant change in IQ level. This does not mean that DTT is a successful method for every individual with autism, but does work very well for the majority.

I loved this quote because it is true. Sometimes it is hard to let go but it is the right thing to do. I know that letting go when I placed my daughter for adoption was the hardest choice I have ever had to make but it is also the best choice I have ever had to make.

Raai Laxmi, who was earlier spelled as Laxmi Rai, has clarified the rumours pertaining to her tiff with director Sundar C. It was speculated that their relationship had soared over the months and it lead the director to deleted her portions in their forthcoming Tamil movie Aranmanai.
Speaking to a daily, Raai Laxmi has denied the rumours and has said that the speculations are baseless. There is no truth into it and she wonders from where these rumours cropped up. The post-production works are in full swing and the actress is getting ready for the release.
It was reported that Sundar C deleted Raai Laxmi's portions in the movie and restricted her role to minimum. Hansika Motwani's role was boosted to fill the gap. However, with her denial, those rumours have turned false.
Raai Laxmi, who is gearing up for the release of her next film Irumbu Kuthirai, plays one of the female leads in Aranmanai. Hansika Motwani and Andrea Jeremiah are the other female leads. Vinay Rai, Santhanam, Soori, Manobala, Kota Srinivasa Rao and others are in the cast.
Aranmanai is a horror-comedy movie produced by Dinesh Karthik. It has Karthika Raja's music and UK Senthil Kumar's cinematography. It will hit the screens next month.
