Madagascar Birding Tours
Nowhere else on Earth
can compare to Madagascar. Its island wildlife, with 5 unique bird
families and 5 unique lemur families, is without parallel. Add to
this the giant chameleons, orchids and famous Spiny Desert.
We have designed 3 tours to allow
seeing the most birds and lemurs, depending on the time
that you have available.
On the 12 or 13
day tours, we visit the mega-diverse
Eastern Rainforests at Andasibe, Mantadia and Ranomafana National
Parks, home to most of the endemics, as well as the Spiny Desert
of the south-west, dry deciduous forests at Zombitse NP and grasslands
of Isalo NP.
On the 17 day
tour we also visit Ankarafantsika NP and the wetlands of the north-west,
and on the comprehensive 22 day
tour we add to this the forested Masoala Peninsula. See our leaflet below.
5 endemic bird families: our top tours recorded 124 of 127 possible
endemics and near-endemics in 21 days, and 122 of 123 in 16 days.
our top tours saw 31 lemur species in 21 days and 26 species in
16 days, inluding Indri and Ring-tailed Lemur.
"Thanks must go to Birding
Africa ... what has to be the definitive three-week Madagascar itinerary.
... it is difficult to think of how things could have been more
successful; we have actually seen every available resident endemic
species! The transport was all very good and accommodation excellent..."

I've not begun typing in order to condemn the use of rabbits, eggs, ducklings, or chicks this Easter Sunday. In my book they're acceptable for fun as long as they defer and not overtake the true celebration of Easter rather than become a distraction, besides, I love chicks, I had a yellow chick named Jack once. I have a fond memory of Resurrection Sunday in my mind right now. There was a time when I was about 4 or 5 years old and we spent Holy Week with my mother's clan at a relative's beach resthouse in Tali Beach, Batangas. At the crack of dawn on Easter morning I woke up alone on my mattress after a few days already at the beach to the sound of either my mom or aunt's voice wide awake outside shouting "Hallelujah, Jesus is Alive!!" even before the rooster crowed I believe. That erased what would've been the common urge in mind to greet people "Happy Easter". We also had a Grand Easter egg hunt that day made of beautifully painted real chicken eggs done by a lot of us, no plastic eggs and they were hidden in hard to find places around the beach house. We used white crayons on the eggs first to make our designs or patterns, then when the eggs were dipped in dye the patterns in crayon would resist the dye and you had a subtractive design. Here's a photo of one similar summer but I think this wasn't the same trip that formed the memory, this was around 1 or 2 years later but also in Tali, in another friend's house. Uh, that's me on the left edge of the photo and beside me is my first (as in first) cousin Paolo, Tito Gary's eldest son, Tita Donna and Tito Anthony are behind us.
22 "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive."
1 Corinthians 15:22 New King James Version (NKJV)
We still made use of the eggs as part of the fun but we always had the Word and the Gospel preached or shared among us first by either my dad, Tito Gary, or one of the other uncles. The root word Easter ironically is not of Christian origin even, Easter comes from the name of Eostre "This mythical figure is said to have been the goddess of the sunrise and the spring. She is the Teutonic goddess of the dawn. The direction of the sunrise, East, is named for her. In Norse mythology, the name is spelled Eostare. Another considered the Norse/Saxon goddess of spring is Ostara. Eastre is believed to be an ancient word for spring." Of course although it may be someone else's form of tradition I don't fully believe in the root of Easter because of that mythical figure. I'd rather believe in Resurrection Sunday which holds true power for me because of God's changing, saving grace in my life. I found a video unlike most "Easter" videos. It contains some clips from the Nativity then mostly the Passion, not the violent parts, but the parts with Mary and Jesus in it, which I love. The song being sung is Perfect Love by Darlene Zschech of Hillsong, it's inspired to be Mary's loving, motherly song about her Son's beauty and sacrifice. I pray God blesses and touches you personally tomorrow, Happy Resurrection Sunday! Here is the video that nearly moved me to tears even without much of the violence.

When building or remodeling a home, most builders focus on construction basics such as the foundation, plumbing, and electrical system. Unfortunately, many builders ignore the electronic foundation that supports high-speed voice, video, and data communications. If you're serious about technology in your home, budget for structured wiring in your next new home or major remodeling project. Pulling the wires during construction is easy to do, relatively inexpensive, and it doesn't disturb the finished home. Plus, you can roll the cost of structured wiring into the tax-deductible home mortgage. You may find the money you spend on wiring more than returned when you sell the home, because homebuyers have started showing their technical savvy. Homes wired for video and networking can have a higher resale value, especially those with high-speed Internet access.
How much should you expect to pay for structured wiring in a new home? Keith Smith, home cabling national sales manager at The Siemon Company, offers this rule of thumb: "Budget at least 1 percent of the finished cost of a new home for voice, data, and video wiring." He notes that this covers only the cost of wiring and installation labor; electronics such as TV signal amplifiers or network firewalls should be budgeted separately.
With wireless phone and data communication becoming so popular, you might think that wiring a home is no longer a high priority. Wireless technology such as cordless phones or 802.11b "Wi-Fi" data communication certainly can be a useful part of a connected home, but wireless technology doesn't make a good foundation. At present, no wireless technology is as secure, fast, or reliable as a good set of wires. It's like the difference between a space heater and a furnace; the space heater's convenient but it doesn't replace the furnace.
Wiring the Home
Structured wiring can mean different things to different people, but nearly all professionals agree on using a "home-run" wiring strategy and a minimum set of wires. With home-run wiring you make all the wiring runs from a central point in the house, usually in a closet or a basement. At the central point, the wires terminate at various types of patch panels that let you connect to equipment such as signal amplifiers or network hubs and to external sources such as the incoming telephone and cable TV lines. In contrast, many older homes often have telephone and TV lines connected in a "daisy-chain" fashion, where a single wire runs from room to room through splitters or splices. Such an arrangement causes lower signal quality and is a particular problem with high-speed services such as DSL, where data and voice share the same pair of wires.
For voice and data networking applications, the wiring of choice is Category 5, which consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire in a protective plastic or Teflon jacket. When properly connected and terminated, Category 5 cables can handle 100 megabit Ethernet data traffic, and they are more than sufficient for standard voice telephone lines or DSL data service. You can install even higher grades of network wiring, such as Category 6, if your budget allows and you want to plan for Gigabit Ethernet in your connected home's future. Video applications use coaxial cable, or "coax," that consists of a single center-wire conductor surrounded by one or more shields to prevent interference. The center conductor is usually solid copper, and the shields are usually made of aluminum foil and wire braid. The most common type of coax used for home video applications is triple-shielded or quad-shielded RG6. The quad-shielded variety of RG6 can provide slightly better signal quality but it is thicker than the triple-shielded version, a bit harder to bend in restricted spaces, and requires special connectors.
What about fiber-optic cables? Five years ago, fiber was all the rage in high-end homes as a hedge against future high-speed data demands. Today, some structured wiring vendors still carry it but they don't push it. "Fiber is an additional cost that doesn't provide any benefit," says David Marshall, president of UStec Inc. Instead, improved twisted-pair copper wire such as Category 6 seems to be handling the high-speed data duties that fiber was expected to serve.
In addition to the types of wiring to use, consider where to run wires and how many runs you should make. "Install at least a 'two-by-two' run from a central location to each room in the house: two Category 5 twisted-pair and two RG6 coaxial cables," advises Marshall. Generally, one of the Category 5 runs is used for telephone, one for network; the RG6 cables are used for incoming and outgoing video. If you do expect to run a full complement of wires to each location, you can get pre-built bundles of cables to simplify the cable pulling process. "Plan ahead with as many outlets as possible," Marshall adds. "People don't think they'll need wiring to the baby's nursery, but five years later that room may be a home office."
Generally, it's best to consider security system wiring deployment separately from TV, network, and phone. Although it is low-voltage wiring and can be run in close proximity to the others, security wiring is usually installed by an alarm system professional along with the associated alarm panel, motion detectors, and magnetic contacts. The security system usually won't need any interconnection with these other systems, so it doesn't need to be installed in the same area. "I don't recommend putting security in the same box with phone or network wiring because security wiring tends to generate noise," warns Siemon's Keith Smith.
No matter how well you plan, there may be times when an additional wire run is needed after you've finished the home. To reduce the hassle of doing that work, consider installing wiring conduit and access boxes in locations that will be inaccessible once the walls are finished. For example, you might have a conduit that runs from the central wiring location in the basement up to the unfinished attic in a two-story home. If you find you need wiring in a new location on the second floor after finishing the home, the new wire can be pulled from the basement through the conduit up to the attic, and then fished down the wall of the second-floor room.
Getting the Job Done
Okay, now that you have a plan it's time to run the wires. Pulling wires in an unfinished home is within the abilities of an average handyman who knows how to handle a drill, but incorrect installation can cause more than its share of headaches. There are a lot of rules to learn and follow. Access holes need to be drilled so that they don't compromise the structural integrity of the joists or beams they penetrate. Low voltage wiring such as phone and network must be kept clear of AC power wiring to prevent interference. Local building codes may impose additional restrictions. Kinks, over-aggressive stapling, or tight bundling can affect the performance of Category 5 cable to the point where it cannot handle 100-megabit network traffic. Also, a builder or contractor might have liability concerns if someone other than their own subcontractor is pulling the wires. You should discuss these are issues with the builder before the project begins.
A professional cabling installer has the right tools, knows the tricks of the trade, and can usually get the job done in much less time than an amateur. The Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) Web site at cedia.com provides information about wiring and home automation issues, plus a nationwide directory of participating dealers and installers. As with any project, it's a good idea to get written estimates from multiple wiring contractors that spell out what will be done and what kind of guarantee is provided.
Regardless of who does the job, here are some rules that will ensure a top-quality job. Good labeling practices are essential. Both ends of every wire need to be clearly marked so they can be easily recognized when the time comes to use them. You can simplify this process if you use different colors for each wire. For example, if you're using two runs of Category 5 to each location you might use gray-jacketed cable for phone and blue for network. For two RG6 runs, you might choose black for the outgoing (hub to outlet) signals and tan for the return signals. At every outlet a wire's purpose will be clear from its color alone, so only the ends at the wiring center need to be labeled to indicate where they go. Special cable marking sets are available, or you can use a permanent marker to write directly on the cable if the cable's color isn't too dark. Don't use household transparent tape or masking tape, which isn't permanent and can leave a sticky residue.
For mounting outlets, use either "mud rings" or very deep electrical boxes. (A mud ring, a metal frame with two threaded holes, is nailed to a joist. The threaded holes are used to mount the finishing outlet cover.) Category 5 or coax wire can be damaged if it's crammed into a box with sharp bends, so it's often better to let the wires hang loosely behind the outlets in the wall cavity.
Check the wiring after it's pulled but before the walls are up, because it's easy to fix problems at that point. The simplest test, for continuity, ensures that the wires aren't open or shorted. You can perform a continuity test with a simple electronic multimeter. Sophisticated tests, such as frequency response, require specialized equipment but they're the only way to tell in advance whether the wiring can perform for high-speed data and video. These tests are not absolutely necessary when good quality cable has been pulled with care, but they're an extra insurance policy. A professional installer should have the tools and equipment to test frequency response.
Even when wiring checks out fine at this point, there's still another challenge for it to pass: the drywall crew. While the drywall is being hung, wires may be pinched, cut, nailed, or nicked. Also, outlets can be "buried" in the wall if the drywall crew forgets to cut out an opening for them. Mark the locations of each outlet box on the floor and check after the drywall is hung to make sure that every box was cut out and none are buried in the wall. Look inside the boxes to see if the wiring was cut or nicked; if so, see if it can be salvaged or whether a new wire should be pulled. A good time to do the final wiring check is after the drywall is up, but before the surface is taped or plastered. If a sheet of drywall needs to be removed to fix or find a wire at this point, it's not a major inconvenience.
Finishing Outlets
The most common and versatile way to finish low-voltage wiring is with "keystone" jacks. These consist of a finish cover plate with from one to six rectangular holes in the plate. You can snap a variety of different jacks into the holes, such as telephone, networking, cable TV, or audio connectors. Because the cover plates don't dictate a particular layout, you can customize each location depending on the equipment you plan to connect there. Generally, you'd choose the plate color (e.g., white or ivory) to match the colors of the electrical outlets in the room. You can use jacks that match the cover plate color, but the jacks are available in many different colors and you can use color-coding to help ensure that the right equipment is plugged into the right jack.
The Wiring Center
The central wiring area, where all the wires meet, is where costs can really add up. The cleanest and most impressive layouts will use equipment from the same vendor and fit into the standard spaces and racks provided by the vendor. A multi-vendor approach generally saves money but may be a bit more challenging to lay out and install in a small space because of the varying equipment dimensions.
For telephone and networking, wires are usually connected to "punchdown blocks" using a special tool. The tool pushes the insulated wire into a "v"-shaped metal fork on the block, which cuts into the insulation and creates a good electrical contact. For telephone voice lines, the incoming phone lines are usually punched onto the block and connections made right on the punchdown block. On the networking side, the punchdown block connections usually go to RJ45 jacks and each line is plugged into a network hub or switch though a patch cable. Other equipment, such as wireless access points and network routers, will usually be located in or near the wiring center, and these will also be plugged into the networking hub or switch.
Video wiring is usually terminated with a threaded "F" connector on each wire. The connections go to a video distribution panel that amplifies incoming signals and splits them out for outlets around the house. The incoming signals include cable TV, satellite, or antenna, but can also include video sources inside the house such as cameras and DVD or VCR players. These video sources can be modulated onto an unused TV channel and fed into the video system so that a TV in any location in the house can see them.
Wired for the Future
A wired home has unlimited potential, but most people have limited funds. If you're on a tight budget, commit the money you spend to the wiring inside the walls. Just finish off the TV, phone, and network outlets you initially require, place a blank wall plate over the unused outlets, and complete the work when your budget allows. All the wire finishing work can be done just as easily months or years after the house is built, but running wires after the walls are up can add another 20 or 30 percent to the cost of wiring. For the same reasons, don't try to save money by skimping on the quality of the wiring; you won't be saving money if you have to redo the work later. Your home's electronic foundation deserves its fair share of attention.

Hey guys.
I'm sorry for the vagueness and overall badness of this thread. Even I despise it. But I've got to share my point and I'm too lazy to go into detail.
Basically I had this crazy idea for a future bit of lore regarding the invasion of the Burning Legion and the Lich King.
So, Kil'Jaeden was the one that originally tore up Ner'zhuls soul and put it in the Lich King armor, so I'd imagine that right now, if he still exists, Ner'zhul would be pretty pissed and want some revenge on Kil'Jaeden for doing that to him and imprisoning him on Azeroth. If the Legion were to return to Azeroth lead by Kil'Jaeden, would it not be pretty cool for that somehow to tie in with the Lich King/Bolvar story?
Like, it's tricky because Bolvar currently has control over Ner'zhul and he is keeping the Scourge at bay. But maybe if Kil'Jaeden did return to Azeroth, Bolvar and Ner'zhul could unite for the same cause, to bring down the Burning Legion and Ki'Jaeden, and use the Scourge as the ultimate weapon. We could have a good Lich King trying to help us defeat a common enemy and Bolvar could maybe return a hero to the Alliance.

Phillips Wins Best in Show in Digital Art Contest
Held in conjunction with the Macworld CreativePro Conference
Illustrator Chet Phillips' image "Epilogue" was chosen from among 30 finalists as the "Best in Show" at the 7th Annual Digital Art Contest at the Macworld CreativePro Conference & Exposition.
Phillips used Corel's Painter software to create the image which was output for the Macworld CreativePro gallery on a Hewlett-Packard Designjet 5000 printer using HP's UV-resistant pigmented inks and HP printing media.
Phillips is a Dallas, TX-based artist who had worked with airbrush, color pencils and the scratch board before going digital in 1992. Now working exclusively in Painter, Phillips has been exhibiting his digital art since 1993 and has done commercial work for ad agencies, corporations, newspapers, book publishers and design firms.
His work has been included in past MacWorld competitions, but this is his first best in show award. He says the hardware and software prizes are wonderful, but, "The best reward is having my image presented in a year-long spotlight to thousands of people across the country."
The image made its debut at the 2003 Macworld Creative Pro Conference July 16 and will be part of a traveling exhibition scheduled to appear in conjunction with new media events in San Diego and Cleveland. The work will also be featured at the Macworld CreativePro Conference & Expo in San Francisco in January 2004.

HHS girls hunting for more Central A wins on the road
Blue Ponies travel to Livingston, Belgrade
January 24, 2014
As the defending Central A Championships twice over, the Havre High girls basketball team knows the importance of conference games.
The Central A Blue Ponies went 4-0 through the first half of conference play this season. This weekend, the Ponies will begin the second go-around with two more conference games on the road. Tonight, the Ponies will face the Livingston Rangers in Livingston. Saturday afternoon, the Ponies will face the Belgrade Panthers in Belgrade. Havre is 7-3 overall.
HHS has played all but one conference game at home to this point. Two important games on the road are never easy, but the talented Ponies are still looking up.
"We are pretty confident in ourselves because we are playing well," Havre High head coach Dustin Kraske said. "I would think Livingston and Belgrade have made some adjustments, but that is everybody for the most part. But everybody knows conference games on the road are difficult and we have to play our best if we want to do well. I anticipate our girls will play well."
The Ponies defeated the Rangers by nearly 40 points last time, as well as turned around and beat the Panthers by 20 the next night. Havre's up-tempo style and pressure defense gave both teams trouble. Havre also has too many offensive weapons for most teams to stop, but if the Ponies aren't playing up to their own high standards, they aren't untouchable.
Belgrade played the Ponies tight through the first half in the first matchup and coach Kraske can relate that to the Ponies' defensive efforts.
When the HHS defense is aggressive, they are tough to get past. The Ponies execute a full-court press at a very high level and shut down an offense in the half court with their man defense. The lively defense has come up with 87 steals already this season, as well as earned a reputation for forcing tough shots and almost no fast break buckets. Brandy Lambourne leads the Ponies with 19 steals this season.
It is no coincidence that when the HHS defense plays well, the Blue Pony offense and team as a whole plays well. That is why defense is the main focus moving forward.
Livingston's Megan Schoenen will be tough to stop, as will Belgrade's Erin Singleton and Alexis Clingingsmith.
"I think that against Belgrade the first time, we didn't play as well defensively as we would have liked," Kraske said. "The mindset that we have now means we need to have more consistency and balance, and I think that will be the difference in both of these games this weekend. We are feeling good about where our offense is at, but we need to have the mindset about playing big time defense every time down the floor no matter the score. That is our goal this week, we want to play influential defensively, and we are going to force teams to play how we play.
Sharing the ball, making the extra pass and finding the best possible shot has been crucial for the HHS offense. It has allowed not only Peyton Filius to average more than 12 points per game, but also Lambourne more than 10 and Morgan Mazurkiewicz nearly nine per game. Havre also gets good balance with Haley Ohm, Lacey Waid and Tori Mazurkiewicz.
It's a big weekend for the Ponies as they can all but lock up the regular season title with two more wins. Tonight, the Ponies are in Livingston to take on the Rangers at 5. Saturday the Ponies will face the Panthers in Belgrade at 2 p.m. Both games can be heard on 610 AM KOJM.

What features allow all this?
Firstly, our system pre-calibration means no on-site calibration by the user) and CodaCare support means the user always has support at hand. Laboratory engineering time is rarely needed, allowing the users to operate the system alone and still spend more time with their subjects/patients.
Secondly, the high field of view of the CODA sensor units (78 degrees for each unit) mean that more of the lab space can be used for measurement, or that the same-sized system can be housed in a smaller lab space, saving cost.
An additional benefit is that there are no consumables (except adhesive tapes where clients choose this fixing option over elasticated straps) and even the rechargeable drive box batteries are periodically replaced under the log term CodaCare scheme.

super size me
Boingo invades McDonalds
I can't remember the last time I grabbed a bite to eat at McDonalds. Wait. No. I remember now. It was right after I watched "Super Size Me" and I had the biggest craving for a Big Mac. It was tasty. Well, the next time you're grubbin' on some disgusting fast food at McD's be sure to pull up clips of "Super Size Me" and watch Morgan Spurlock puke… Read More

Very nice driving report here with the Audi RS5 S-tronic. A must read!
Audi's RS performance cars are like icebergs. There's an unassuming bit you can see just above the waterline and a monster lurking just below the surface. The new RS5 is no exception.
It would be all too easy to mistake it for a regular A5 coupé dressed up in some fancy bits chosen from a glossy brochure. The wheelarches are subtly wider, the bumpers are different, the stance is lower, the door mirrors have an aluminium-effect shroud and the exhaust pipes could double as industrial venting. Like the TT and R8 supercar, a speed-activated rear spoiler pops up when the car goes above 50mph to help smooth out the airflow. Inside, the usual sober and beautifully made Audi interior is sprinkled with extra gauges: a lap timer and oil temperature. It's oh so subtle, but then at £57,480, it's hardly a car for 21-year-old boy racers.

Welcome back, everyone! How has your week been going? I hope
everyone is staying warm -- or cool -- depending on where you
Actually, "Spring" has sprung around here and the weather went
from cold-ish, to hot -- overnight. The temperature the last couple
of days has been over 80º. What? It's true. That's what happens.
Typically around the end of February it turns to Summer and stays
that way until December when it gets chilly again. It's as if a
switch was thrown and everything is different overnight.
Before I lurch into the lamentations of what's going on in my
life right now, I want to congratulate my classmates that just
returned from NCLC (National Chiropractic Leadership Conference).
Each year, members of our faculty and students go to Washington,
D.C. and talk with members of Congress about the future of
chiropractic and health care in America.
Now, to my lamentations. I'm feverishly working on a paper.
Writing is a pretty bizarre process for me. We all have our
methods. I'll randomly collect research for a while, think about
the topic, try to formulate some semblance of sanity within the
information, and then sit with it for way too long. The temptation
for me is always to collect more and more information. Maybe I
should read one more article? Maybe I should review a few more
journals just in case I find THE article that poses some new idea
that brings it all together. And at some point I realize when the
deadline is.
Then the frantic insanity sets in. I'm now faced with the
prospect of taking 10-20 journal articles and whatever notes and
thoughts I've taken from them and putting it into just a few pages.
(OK, we all know that I can't write just a few pages -- but you get
my drift). It's a grueling process that drives me crazy, and I love
it. I learn SO much from this. I hate the procrastination and I
hate the deadlines, but I love what comes out of it.
Right now I'm working on a paper about vitamin D and metabolic
syndrome -- with an aside on the psychology of eating. I've learned
that there are 4 variations in receptor genes that mediate how the
body handles vitamin D, that there's a huge controversy in what the
dosage of vitamin D should be, and that there's a HUGE link between
metabolic syndrome, autoimmune diseases, and vitamin D. No one
seems to fully know how all of it works together -- but it does,
and therapies with vitamin D show great promise at preventing and
treating all kinds of problems.
So, I'm going to get back to my forced lack of procrastination
and self-loathing and feverish typing, and leave you all with good
wishes for the week.
Have a great one, everybody!
It has rained, literally every day for over a week. It's Summer
time in Florida. I guess that's to be expected. Personally, I find
the rain a little bit depressing. BUT, the temperature has dropped
and that has been absolutely lovely. Autumn in Florida is always a
little touch and go. I say we have 2 seasons here: Summer, and not
quite Summer. While the leaves don't change, sometimes the
temperature does shift, and it eventually stops raining.
Sunrise in the middle of the showers - Coffee Pot
We're getting back into the swing of things after boards, and
settling into the tri. It's so weird not having classes. Part of me
feels like I must be skipping things, or somehow not showing up --
that I should be studying for a quiz or doing a project or
presentation -- but I don't have any to do. It's just bizarre.
Of course I still have work to do for the Master's program, but
that's a lot less involved than going to classes all day, every
day. Speaking of the Master's...I just finished finals for another
quarter there. I have only 2 left; 2 quarters left, and less than 2
trimesters left here. I honestly can't believe it. I'm not sure
whether I believed it would never happen, or that it just seemed so
far away that it was out of my realm of comprehension.
Our 10th trimester mentor, Jen, is making plans for graduation.
Yesterday we were talking about hotels and plane tickets and how
soon graduation is. It was a bit of a wake-up call.
A bunch of us have been doing some outreach with the clinic. SPC
has had a blood pressure initiative going. They're installing
automated blood pressure cuffs in many of their facilities. It's
helpful for people to keep track of their blood pressure. We've
been explaining normal ranges and what people can do to not only
keep track, but also to improve.
Julia, Dave, Ricky, Leslie, and Jen have gone, some twice, and
given a talk and been on hand to help. I'm excited. I get to go in
2 weeks. We'll see what happens. There's been some good
Everyone is talking about where we go from here. People are
making plans for shadowing, extra seminars, special licensure
requirements, etc. Events are taking place. It's really
Have a great week Everybody!
Do you have your costume yet? Are you going trick or
It's that time of year again and my mind wanders back to the
smell of fallen leaves and the colors of the trees. It's a time of
pumpkins, little kids wearing plastic masks (at least when I was
growing up), and hyperactivity from too much sugar. Many of the
neighborhoods around here do a TON of decorating for Halloween.
You'd think it was Christmas, with all the lights and
Someday I'll do all of this stuff again. I used to go all out
with decorations for every holiday. There's one house in the
Crescent Lake neighborhood (where these pictures were taken) that
gives away polished stones and wishes. It's pretty cool.
Tell me the truth. How much candy have you eaten already? I
always try to make it through the season without eating any
Halloween candy. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. There's
been candy floating around at school already. I think this year
qualifies as a failed evasion. I'll try to keep it from going
further downhill. It might not be that bad. Of course, trying to
combat it with the gym and some otherwise healthy eating will be a
definite must. I'm on it!
The temperature has dropped temporarily, which makes it "chilly"
(upper 50s-60s) at night and not quite as hot during the day. I
understand that it's only temporary, as it's supposed to be in the
mid-80s by the middle of the week. This is the time of year when I
realize I have absolutely no "warm" clothes. None whatsoever. I
have to stop myself from going shopping to buy these things--as the
cold snaps are USUALLY only temporary and don't "stick" until late
December/January and stop by mid-February. Layering is helpful. I
must admit that seeing my fellow students in the interactive
sessions in Lombard walk into class in their coats and sweaters
makes me both sad and glad that I'm someplace warm.
How did midterms go? We have one more on Wednesday and I think
we're done for a couple of weeks. We have several right before
Thanksgiving again--big projects and exams. I can't believe how
quickly it's all gone by! It'll be Christmas before we know it. I'm
not going to lie--last week was tough. I think it might have been
one of the toughest midterm weeks I remember having. Three
radiology exams in one week do not make for a low-stress life. This
week should be more low key.
So, if you were trick or treating in Crescent Lake, and stopped
by the Fairy's house--what would your wish be? Think about it, and
get back to me.
Experimental Pumpkin Brain Surgery
Have an amazing, responsible candy-eating Halloween Week. And if
you dress up, send me a picture. Maybe I'll dress up and post
one--or maybe not.
I walked into the store this weekend and saw Christmas
decorations. Can you believe it? Christmas decorations?!?! I never
know whether I should be excited and festive or mortified at the
consumerism of having things out 3 months in advance. Seriously.
Who starts buying and decorating for Christmas 3 months before the
holiday? I guess it's just a reminder, though, that the end of the
trimester will be here before we know it. We're already looking at
midterms. My first one, in lab diagnosis, is this coming
Banyan Tree on Beach Drive in downtown St. Pete
I hear that the rest of the world is starting to cool off in
honor of the season--but here in Florida we're still averaging
upper 80s or lower 90s. It's. Been. Hot. I find I'm a little
envious of my friends and loved ones that are donning sweaters and
complaining about it being chilly. I haven't owned a sweater in
nearly 8 years. The closest to needing one has been dealing with
crazy air conditioning issues in the Annex. Sometimes it gets
downright chilly in there! We're threatening to bring teapots and
mittens. I can see it happening. It might start cooling off by the
end of October. For now, even though we're technically in Autumn,
it still feels like Summer--rain, heat, and all.
I'm getting into the Marketing project with planning my future
clinic. I spend a little bit of time every day, it seems, pondering
how things will be--how I want them. I know I need to do a lot more
research on my geographic regions and desired demographics, etc.
It's actually a pretty big project--but I think it will help me
tremendously when the time comes. I've even been working on putting
a logo together. I have no idea if that's what it will end up
as--but I think it's a good start.
I've started clearing the yard for a fall garden. I'm wondering
how long the growing season will be. I've never had a fall garden
before--having grown up in the Midwest. I will let all of you know
how that works out. If all works well, I could have fresh herbs and
veggies around Christmas. Maybe I'll decorate with them instead of
glitz and glitter from the store.
I'm still working on some pretty intense research topics. My
Pubmed list grows just about every day. Here is a listing of my
topics: oxytocin, C reactive protein, eicosanoids,
anti-inflammatory diet, food allergy, gluten, celiac, botanical,
functional medicine, vitamin D and asthma, stress, and naturopathic
medicine. There may be a couple of others--ones that I don't get
search returns on daily. There's amazing research that comes
through every day. Pieces of the puzzle come together. I'm learning
things about bloodwork that I never knew, how biochemistry is
affected by nearly everything, and what we can do (and what we're
doing and not doing) to fix it all. Fascinating.
Banyan Tree in Crescent Lake
One of the biggest I've ever seen (a little bit like the
"Tree of Life" from Disney)
Since I'm boycotting Christmas trees for at least another two
months, here are some Banyan tree pictures. Banyans are actually
fig trees and sometimes known as strangler figs. In some places
they're considered invasives. Here in this part of Florida, we've
got some Banyan trees that are OLD--REALLY, REALLY old. There are
several places around town where Banyan trees can be seen--there's
even a "Banyan Tree Motel"--although the only Banyan tree there is
on the sign. I've always found them to be majestic, spirited trees
that are absolutely beautiful.
Have a great week everybody!
Well, you wouldn't know it by looking outside. We've had a few
really nice days, but it's expected to be in the 50s one day this
week. It's almost April! What is going on? I know everybody up in
the Midwest has had snow. I just keep looking out the door
bewildered and checking the Weather Channel on my phone. I never
know what it's going to be! Bundle-up or flip-flops, or my personal
favorite, blue toes in flip-flops? We just take it day by
I thought for sure that I'd make it outside for something this
weekend, but it didn't happen. I did, however, make a cameo at the
Gluten Free Expo at the St. Petersburg Coliseum. Grey and I showed
up about an hour before it was over, wondering if they'd have some
great speaker at the last minute or some new revolutionary
products. There were, of course, TONS of giveaways and coupons and
brochures. I did grab a few business cards from vendors and talked
to a health coach while I was there.
I must say, though, that I was disappointed. While I'm grateful
that I now have free snack fodder for the boys' lunches for the
next month plus, I'm not sure how healthy it all is. There's just
so much processing going into gluten-free products these days.
Nothing they were giving away or selling was anywhere near simple
or resembling anything homemade.
I talked to a baker about Paleo cooking. She said that the
biggest problem for them was cutting out the sugar. She wanted to
substitute Stevia--which in some Paleo circles is forbidden (no
artificial sugars or regular sugars). Although I'm not sure what
other ingredients she was going to substitute, the sugar, I think,
was the least of their worries.
In Diet and Nutrition, Dr. S has been teaching us all the
pathways and extolling the dangers of grains, sugars, and
indirectly, processing. We've linked all these starches, Omega 6s,
and sugars to everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's. Of
course that doesn't make it all so easy to give up, but the
argument is getting more and more persuasive. So I have to
think--just because something is gluten-free, that doesn't make it
healthy. Whether it's the canola oil, the high fructose corn syrup,
or the ingredient that I can only dissect with a piece of paper and
a chemistry textbook, it may still be gluten-free, but it's also a
science/health experiment. I know for a fact, that gluten-free can
still be simple. The more ingredients, the more likely that there
might be a problem, and that doesn't work for anyone.
I'm beginning to explore the ins and outs of the Paleo diet and
trying to marry it with my own sense of nutrition. I suspect I'll
be more restrictive in many ways than what the standards are. I
still can't see/justify eating huge amounts of bacon. Something
just doesn't seem right about that. I'm not sure whether it's the
huge amounts of fat, the salt, or the nitrates. Yes, I know that
all of those are available nitrate-free, but last time I
checked--we were all students, yes?--I also know that I will never
eat beef or eggs again. I think there has got to be a way to
balance nutrition and our evolutionary developments with the limbic
system. Otherwise, we'll all end up eating only 35 cups of Romaine
lettuce with steaks wrapped in bacon. And between you and me, none
of that sounds all that appetizing.
Last but certainly not least, I want to congratulate everyone on
making it through midterms. We finally had our last one on
Thursday. I'll spare you all the drama involved, but I know we are
all extremely glad that that is over. I want to offer Dr. Ott my
undying gratitude for being, perhaps, the coolest-headed professor
I've ever come across. I must find for you, Dr, Ott, 5 million gold
toilet stickers. You deserve them. (And if you want to know the
story about the gold toilet stickers, you can email me).
Everyone also deserves congratulations for making it through
Mercury retrograde. Thankfully, Mercury went direct on St. Patty's
Day--and not a moment too soon. I was tired of fixing everything,
fighting and mediating fights, and just generally being in a
Happy First Full Week of Spring to everyone and Happy Easter,
Ostara and a Blessed Passover to all who celebrate.
This week's pictures are from Lake Maggiore--which is not far
from my house. I was hoping to get some gators in there, but it was
a bit too cloudy. If you enter through Boyd Hill and take the
trails, I PROMISE you'll see some BIG gators. To my classmate
Lauren, here's where you (don't) want to go. :)

On two days this week, a man from Australia House has been at the Ministry of Labour office in Water Lane, Watford, giving information about assisted passages – £10 for each adult and children under 14 entirely free – to the Commonwealth.
The official's visits from place to place have been advertised widely and given an ITV spot, and between 40 and 50 inquirers, mostly married men, came along to get first hand news of prospects for them and their families Down Under.
The man from Australia said at the present stage the inquiries were largely exploratory but that experience showed well over 90 per cent of the passage-assisted emigrants from England to Australia settled down happily in their new homes.

Remember last week when I made that horrible confession about my bathrooms? I probably should have included dusting, sweeping, dishes and laundry to the list of things I really don't like to do. I'm not such a great homemaker even if I really want to be. I do continually try though so it must count for something right? Thankfully for me there are amazing resources out there like the The HomeMaker's Mentor. If there wasn't I might be in a lot of trouble! There are over 110 lessons included in this CD. I'll admit I should be memorizing the one called Freshen & Perk Up Your Bathroom. I actually did read it and started working on ways to declutter our tiny master bathroom.
There is so much included on this CD that I'm still working my way through many of the pdf files.
Jahnna loves to bake so there was plenty on this CD to share with her. One of the best recipes for beginners is the Shortbread recipe that I'm including here. All you do is combine the following ingredients in a bowl:
2 cups sifted all-purpose unbleached flour
1/2 cup powdered icing sugar
Cut in:
1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter
Mix with hands until dough forms a ball. Pat out evenly to 1/4" thick. Cut out and place cut out cookies onto baking sheet. Do NOT grease baking sheets. Prick with a fork and bake in a 300 degree pre-heated oven for up to 30 minutes or until sides are golden and cookies are set. Let cool on baking sheets and them remove to cool longer on wire cooling rack.
Jahnna had a lot of fun making these and it's pretty hard to mess this up so it's a perfect project for younger kids.
This is one of many recipes you will find in the files. There is only one folder that I haven't opened and I'm not likely to any time soon. It's the one called Beans & More Beans. There's a very long story behind my aversion to beans and it goes clear back to Kindergarten. So I can't tell you what is in that folder you'll just have to buy your own copy and find out for yourself! Sorry about that!
The CD is available for $37 with free shipping (reg $47) until Oct 18th so hurry and get your copy today!
On to the three giveaway opportunities. First up I am able to give away two copies of this CD to my readers. After that rafflecopter widget make sure you continue down the page to the third giveaway opportunity for you.

This week: PGA Tour's Bob Hope Classic, Wednesday through Sunday, PGA West Nicklaus, PGA West Palmer, La Quinta CC and Silver Rock Golf Courses, La Quinta, Calif.
Stanley's fifth-round score: 5-under-par 67 at PGA West Palmer.
Putnam's fifth-round score: Even-par 72 at PGA West Palmer.
Position: Stanley (18-under 342) tied for 29th, and Putnam (11-under 349) finished in a group at tied for 68th – all behind winner Jhonattan Vegas (333), who won in a sudden-death playoff over Bill Haas and Gary Woodland.
Recap: Posting one of the better rounds of the day at PGA West Palmer, Stanley finished 9-under on that course in two rounds – and made six more birdies Sunday. His last one came on the drivable par-4 eighth where his drive landed just off the green, and he nearly holed a 40-foot chip shot, leaving him a tap-in birdie. … Putnam started off with a three-putt from 90 feet for a double bogey on his first hole (10th), but made four birdies, including a final one on the ninth hole when his 9-iron approach stopped close, and he made a 4-foot putt.
Next: Putnam and Stanley are in the field for next week's Farmers Insurance Open starting Thursday at Torrey Pines North and South Golf Course outside San Diego. Olympia's Andres Gonzaeles is the first alternate to get into his first PGA event in 2011.

About Ric Ocasek
If all Ric Ocasek had done was come up with "Since You're Gone" from the Cars' Shake It Up album, he would go down (in our book, anyway) as one of the all-time great pop songwriters. Instead, Ocasek's career in music goes far beyond that. First appearing as the tall skinny weirdo who sang the Cars' best songs and played those perfect rhythm guitar parts, Ocasek went on to become a talented and sought-after producer, cutting records with Weezer, Guided By Voices and others. But in the 1970s and '80s, Ocasek worked with such seminal acts as hardcore reggae masters Bad Brains and pre-punk/pre-No Wave/pre-everything synth dudes Suicide. Along with his producing career, Ocasek released several solo records before and after the Cars went o! n hiatus, beginning with 1982's Beatitude That record yielded the first-rate Cars-like "Something To Grab For," but Ocasek has rarely cracked the charts as a solo artist. His 2005 record followed in the footsteps of his pun-loving past and was titled Nexterday.

In our guest review by Chick Lit author and blogger Lisa Steinke, the writer takes a look for SheKnows exclusively at City Dog.
This is what happened the day I noticed City Dog by Alison Pace on the shelf at the book store. It was the cover that first caught my eye -- a picture of a fluffy white dog that, after reading the book, I can now tell you is a West Highland Terrier.
But that day in the book store, it was just a fluffy, white dog sitting on top of the name Alison Pace.
I hadn't read any of her books before, so I flipped to the back and looked for her photo. (You know, face with a name?) I could only locate more pictures of the dog -- and I was grabbed yet again.
Who was this author who didn't put her own picture on the book?
Then, I read the first page and I was hooked. I loved Alison Pace's voice. And after flipping through the pages of City Dog, I was excited to discover the narrative shifts between Amy, her West Highland Terrier (Carlie), and Robert Maguire, a fictional character from the series of children's books Amy writes about Carlie. (And also who Amy compares all her real-life suitors to.)
And now, after finishing City Dog and friending Alison Pace on Facebook (and discovering she has quite a lovely face), I can tell you that this novel is so much more than the story of a woman and her fluffy, white dog.
It's a story of a woman whose marriage didn't work out, whose life in New York isn't working out and whose initial decision to let her dog participate in a television show based on her books isn't
quite working out. As Amy tries to find her way to love and success, you'll root for Amy and also for Carlie.
And you'll find yourself falling in love with both of them.

You can do whatever you want with my creations and post it as yours, ONLY IF :
- you don't forget to credit me for the original work,
- you don't claim money for it
- and you don't repost it without any change from you.
I'm very understanding because what I wish to create is often improvements of existing CC objects, even if it's just to translate it in french ... And also, I'd like to know about your creations inspired by mine, if you can : I'm quite curious !
What kind of creator am I ?
I'm very interested in modding and I can't mesh, unhappily. However, as I'm new in the Custom Content world (since summer 20013 !), I'll improve slowly but surely ! Or I hope so ...

We understand "wellness" as a complex mix of environmental, occupational, intellectual, emotional, financial, physical, spiritual, cultural and social components. Our concept of wellness is the life-long process of an individual enhancing each of these components in their life so that they can grow, lead and serve to the fullest potential, just as our Creator intended. CCH is committed to mobilizing its clinics, its partner schools and a number of other institutional and individual partners to promote community-wide approaches to wellness.
Although our new Wellness initiative is multi-year in scope, initial efforts are targeting the three rural communities of Mont Fleuri, Lavanneau and Demontrieul. A CCH partner school is an anchor institution in each of these communities, and in two of the communities, the schools are paired with small community churches. CCH has strong and long-standing partnerships with the schools, churches and other leaders in these communities.
Priority actions in the first year build on these partnerships and include:
- School-Based Health Clinics (taking curative and preventative care to rural school children three times per school year, per school)
- Community Health and Wellness Days (with a focus on health & wellness education and awareness raising around services available in the region)
- Parent-to-Parent Networks (for advocacy and support and with a focus on training trainers in low-to-no cost home practices and referral pathways)

Ground Instructors
Asked by: Ted Seastrom 2870 views Flight Instructor, General Aviation, Instrument Rating, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
Are there people who actually work as certified ground instructors? Do they mainly teach at the universities, flight academies, and places like FlightSafety? I haven't encountered any at the general aviation, private pilot level. It seems as if few CFIs teach much ground school outside of lesson briefing/debriefing--and that most students use either the King or Jeppesen materials. What is the state of official ground school education these days? Just curious. Do you think a real class-oriented ground school should be required?
Dauntless Aviation's GroundSchool series of apps are the smart pilot's choice for fast and effective FAA knowledge test prep.
You can get the app now and be studying right away. Available for PC, Mac, iPhone/iPad, and Android.

Situated at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, it is no wonder that Istanbul has been a major cultural and political center for over 2,000 years. New archeological findings suggest that settlements existed on Istanbul's peninsula over 9,000 years ago and there were also Thracian and Phoenician settlements, but the history of Istanbul itself dates to the 7th century BCE.
Founded by settlers sent from Megara by King Byzas, the city was originally christened Byzantium, however it was renamed Constantinople after Emperor Constantine made it the eastern capital of the Roman Empire in 330 CE. This ancient prominence contributes to the vast trove of history to be experienced in the city on the Bosporus.
Perhaps most the most famous site in the wealth of historic Istanbul attractions is the 1,500-year-old cathedral Hagia Sofia, built by the Roman/Byzantine Emperor Justinian. The spiritual importance of this building spans two religions: for a millennium Hagia Sofia was the largest cathedral on Earth, but its 31-meter dome was also covered with Islamic imagery and used as a mosque for nearly 500 years during Ottoman rule. Ottoman architecture is also prevalent in the city, notably including Sultan Ahmed Mosque, known as the Blue Mosque for the tiles on its interiors walls, and Süleymaniye Mosque.
A trip to Istanbul, though, requires a visit to the sprawling and stunning Topkapi Palace. This 15th century palace was home to the Ottoman sultanate from 1465 to 1856, and housed as many as 4,000 people at a time. The harem alone has over 400 rooms and was home to the Sultan's many wives, children, concubines and servants. Topkapi Palace is centered on several courtyards and pavilions, and covers approximately 175 acres.
For local dining, the well-known restaurant district along İstiklal Avenue offers many traditional and newer dining options, including options influenced by European and Far Eastern cuisine. With Istanbul's prime location on the Bosporus comes fine fresh seafood options, but meat dishes such as the lamb-based Doner Kebab are also traditional favorites. While Turkish coffee is the more famous beverage, the tea is delicious and absolutely worth a try.
With such an extensive history reflective of the city's crossroads status, Istanbul is a city filled with sites, tastes and scenery. After all, it has spent 2,700 years at the focal point of western civilization.

Kristen Bell is one content little cookie.
Chatting with E! News at the New York City press junket for the new animated Disney film Frozen, the newlywed pondered the question of whether her life had changed much since she and longtime love Dax Shepard made things official.
"It's slightly more exciting, like it feels like we just had a holiday or something, but not much has changed," she admitted. "But we've been waiting for a long time, and for very specific reasons, and it was small and private and everything that we wanted."
The actors, who are parents to 7-month-old daughter Lincoln, initially opted to put their nuptials on hold until same-sex couples had the same right to marry.
Jason Merritt/Getty Images
After the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act and paved the way for gay marriage to legally resume in California, Bell and Shepard got re-engaged and secretly tied the knot at the Beverly Hills City Clerk's Office earlier this month.
Confirming the good news, Bell tweeted on Oct. 18, "Wife coffee tastes way better than regular coffee in the morning :) @daxshepard1."
Asked if they were planning a big bash to celebrate after the low-key ceremony, the House of Lies star said that their friends and family "can throw a big party if they want, but I have no desire to. I'm happy."
Besides, that would ruin the discount motif they've got going on!
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, Shepard joked that it cost them $142 "out the door" to get married.
"I don't yet have a ring. I am going to follow your course, because you got your ring at Costco," the Parenthood star teased Kimmel, whose own wedding-guest list included Shepard and Bell.
"Friends of ours came to the courthouse, and it was just Kristen and I at this lonely courthouse, so they brought us this cake afterwards," the actor continued. "'The World's Worst Wedding.' How many people can say they threw 'The World's Worst Wedding'?"

Top of 39 degrees expected in Brisbane on Tuesday
Emergency service workers are urging Brisbane residents to have water supplies, hats and sunscreen at the ready as the mercury moves toward a top of 39 degrees in Brisbane on Tuesday.
"Heat over central Australia is being drawn into the east by a trough that's moving further north towards Brisbane," said Weatherzone meteorologist Rob Sharpe.
"On Tuesday winds will be west-north-westerly, and they'll be able to hold out the sea breeze, allowing the day to warm up quite substantially."
In Ipswich and surrounding areas, the mercury could hit 40 degrees or more on Tuesday.
"The cool southerly change is expected very late Tuesday night, which will see temperatures drop back to 32 degrees on Wednesday," said Mr Sharpe.
Paramedics have again urged Queenslanders to take safety precautions in the heat.
St John's Ambulance training director Darryl Clare says people can often underestimate how much water they need to drink each day to stay hydrated.
"A real minimum is one and a half litres, but if you're working in a hot environment and active, it can get up to nine litres of water a day that you'll need," he said.
Mr Clare said often the person suffering heat exhaustion is the last to realise it.
"Watch out for the people you're with, and also the very vulnerable groups such as the elderly, the young, and those unwell at the moment."
Hats, sunscreen, sunglasses and loose, protective clothing should be worn outdoors.
Mr Clare said headaches, giddiness, rapid breathing and shortness of breath are common symptoms of heat-affected conditions.
"When you get pale cold, clammy skin, that's heat exhaustion, because the body is still sweating,
said Mr Clare.
"When we start to get flushed and dry skin, that's heatstroke, the body has just about no fluid left to sweat."
Mr Clare said heatstroke can happen rapidly, and can be deadly.
Pets should also be watched and given plenty of water.
Meanwhile, thousands of dance music lovers attending today's Stereosonic festival at the RNA showgrounds were also reminded to take care and stay hydrated.
Concert-goer Rose Govender said she had already seen five people passed out, one of whom required an IV drip from medics.
"It's unbelievably hot with limited shade," she said.

STANDING outside an art gallery off the Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau last Tuesday, the director Sofia Coppola was overheard whispering with friends about an exhibition of David Lynch photographs that showed women on their knees, or reclining, or revealing themselves to the camera, wearing nothing but Christian Louboutin shoes. She uttered the word "bondage" with such potency that it hung in the night's humid air, as if she had uttered something illicit.
For as much as the spring collections in Paris last week romanticized traditionally conservative notions of dress, as in those long day dresses, garden prints and nipped-waist New Look suits, something more sinister seemed to be happening beneath the surface. More precisely, it was happening on the models' feet, expressed in the design of shoes that could just as well have come from the Lynch-Louboutin exhibition, which was titled "Fetish."
Nicolas Ghesquiere of Balenciaga and Stefano Pilati of Yves Saint Laurent, for example, offered refinement in their clothes, yet paradoxically showed them worn with shoes that looked aggressively fetishistic or worse. At Balenciaga, the models' legs were caged in futuristic footwear made of metal plates laced up to the knees with braids. At Yves Saint Laurent, the soles of Mr. Pilati's needle-thin stilettos were replaced by a thin metal rod that connected the heel to the toe, leaving the most sensitive — some would say erotic — underbelly of the foot vulnerably exposed. The models looked as if they were walking a tightrope, and the audience was made to feel alternately fascinated and terrified.
"After seeing shoes that were clunky for so long, your eye has become accustomed to the big platform," said Amelia Vicini, the senior fashion editor of Town & Country. "So the shoes at YSL seemed fresh. The reed-thin heel seems really modern."
The appearance of so many shoes that were either ingenious, architecturally marvelous or potentially murderous gives credence to what some designers have predicted is a fashion movement away from the It bag, since there are now so many self-proclaimed It bags that no one can really keep track of what It is any longer.Continue reading the main story
So now comes the It shoe, more insider-y, more daring for consumers to pull off. And Paris offered some of the most breathtaking (as in, how would you ever wear them) examples of the season. At Chloé, the heels were inverted triangles, ending in a sharp point, as if the wearer were standing on a shark's tooth. At Nina Ricci, heels curved inward like thick bear claws.
Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy offered gladiator styles that laced to the knees, in sandal and stiletto variations. Alexander McQueen included a pagoda shoe in his show that elicited applause for the model who wore them without falling; and Antonio Berardi showed a high heel on an elongated platform at the toe that actually had no heel (a style similar to ones Marc Jacobs did for his New York show).
"When you walk, it is almost on tiptoe," Mr. Berardi said. "You look really dainty."
Dainty? Perhaps dainty like a faun.Continue reading the main story

About the Book
Is there really a human race?
Is it going on now all over the place?
When did it start?
Who said, "Ready, Set, Go"?
Did it start on my birthday?
I really must know.
With these questions, our hero's imagination is off and running. Is the human race an obstacle course? Is it a spirit? Does he get his own lane? Does he get his own coach?
Written with Jamie Lee Curtis's humor and heart and illustrated with Laura Cornell's worldly wit, Is There Really a Human Race? Is all about relishing the journey and making good choices along the way—because how we live and how we love is how we learn to make the world a better place, one small step at a time.

Ah…to be green. Kermit the Frog may be on to something. In a recent AP report, Australia's Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, announced that his country must be prepared for anything…and so, Australia plans to buy 100 state-of-the-art U.S. jet fighters and double the size of its modest submarine fleet.
The reason? According to the report,
Global warming and shortages of fuel, food and water will likely be emerging threats to world peace as countries seek to guarantee supplies of crucial resources.
The plan says world powers will jockey for naval supremacy in the Indian Ocean as it gains importance as a seaway for oil shipped from the Middle East to Asia.
Oh yes…and China. Rudd recently warned that Australia needed to reshape its military in response to an "explosion" in defense spending in Asia.
While the report doesn't single out a specific Asian country, it does state that China will likely continue its military modernization and "the pace, scope and structure of China's military modernization have the potential to give its neighbors cause for concern if not carefully explained."
But the reason for China's buildup? Global warming of course.

Self Defense, Self Confidence & Fitness
Martial arts in general are a wonderful way to learn practical self-defense skills, to exercise and to stay fit, and to develop self-confidence. "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu" or "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu," in particular, is well-suited for women, because it was specifically developed to allow a smaller, weaker person to defend him/herself against a larger attacker. Unfortunately, many martial arts schools may be intimidating to women who otherwise would like to pursue these benefits.
Steel City Martial Arts is one of the first martial arts schools in the area to expressly recognize this dilemma and develop a "Jiu-Jitsu for Women, by Women" class. The class meets on Saturday mornings at 11:00 a.m. and is taught by our rotation of high ranking, immensely experienced instructors of both genders. This is the class you've been looking for!
The first class is always free, and women are encouraged to try a class even if they're not sure that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is right for them. No previous martial arts experience is required. So stop by on a Saturday morning and give it a try!

This is a report on the annual Minyan Shoot Out Wine Dinner that was held at Galileo 3 restaurant last week (BTW – the service and food at this restaurant was a ten – thank you Sandra for all of your hard work!). The "Minyan" is a very eclectic group of wine consumers who vary from moderately wine savvy all the way up to high-end wine shop owner. The "Shoot Out" means that everyone brings their best bottle of wine. We serve all wines blind and then vote on each one at the end of dinner. The owner of the wine with the most points at the end of the night earns a free dinner (everyone else pitches in).
As usual, three things occurred;
– First, we had way too much wine!
– Second, if you want 20 opinions, ask ten wine drinkers. This was a beautiful evening of entropy.
– Third, I am always amazed at how many wine identities I (along with everyone else) get wrong when I taste these wines blind. I did, however, get most of the origins correct, but I will admit, I voted for the number one wine because I thought it was Bordeaux!
Here is a list of our STARTER Wines:
1998 Champagne Pannier, France
1999 Soter Beacon Hill Brut Rose, Oregon

2006 Oakville Red Wine, Napa Valley – I have no idea who makes this wine.
2005 Araujo – Syrah Eisele Vineyard, Napa Valley
Second Course: Small "pinched" ravioli filled with three meats &served in veal jus, butter, sage
2001 Blankiet – Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard
