Hello my friends!
My gd bought a Toshiba NB550D netbook and it has only a HDMI port.
She needs to connect it to a projector at the university. They have those normal, classic projectors and it can't be connected to the machine.
What should we buy to make it work?
Don't have any more details and can't really explain it simpler, hope someone can help.

Does the extra weight (and price) of a metal top kill the appeal of the world's favourite affordable roadster? We'll be finding out over the next few months
Hold down a switch on the MX-5 RF's dashboard and 15 seconds later the three-part metal roof will be tucked away in its compartment.
It takes a lot less time to fold away the standard MX-5's soft-top using that five-fingered appliance on the end of your arm, but the idea of the tin top is to add refinement – and also to create a new identity for the most successful sports car of all time.
The old MX-5 could be had with a hard-top, but the rear pillars that remain on the RF (Retractable Fastback) when the top is down give it an entirely different look, and indeed feel from the driver's seat. It feels more like you're inside a car, rather than on it, which can often be the way with drop-tops.
That goes double when the roof is up. The MX-5 feels like an open-top sports car with a roof for bad weather, whereas the MX-5 RF feels like a closed car that you can open up to the skies. That, plus the extra sensation of security conferred by the metal, should give the RF better credentials for everyday life.
Just two glitches really. One is the 40kg increase in weight, and the other is the £2,000 premium Mazda charges for the RF.
Extra weight can compromise many car dynamics, principally the ride, handling and balance that are such a core part of the soft-top MX-5 proposition, but Mazda has got a jump on this by altering the RF's anti-roll bar and damper settings to maintain the correct MX-5 attitude. There's no obvious reduction in fun.
There is a reduction in accessibility though. It's very easy to headbutt the rearview mirror in the course of folding yourself into the RF's cabin. And wind sealing is far from optimal. Making motorway phone calls on the hands-free Bluetooth infotainment system is often a forlorn hope because of the wind roar. Ironically, buffeting is commendably low when the top is down, but the price in this case is a droning noise.
Our RF has the 129bhp 1.5-litre engine rather than the more powerful 2.0 but, in combination with the superbly satisfying six-speed manual gearbox, there's never any sensation of being short-changed on performance. Indeed, some might say it's a purer MX-5 experience with the 1.5-litre engine.
Sport Nav trim includes heated seats, alloy wheels, automatic lights, lane departure warning and a Bose audio system. With the boxes for Soul Red metallic paint and nappa leather seats ticked, the on-the-road price of our car has ended up at £25,965. Let's see if it can justify that sort of outlay over the next few months.

The Pacific coast of British Columbia is home to two species of hummingbird, the Rufous (Selasphorus rufus) and the Anna's (Calypte anna). Like many winter-weary Gabriolans, Rufous hummers spend the winter in Mexico. Then, in the spring, they begin their migratory journey northward, usually arriving back in BC during the third week of March. This has been going on since time immemorial.
Anna's, on the other hand have been over-wintering in BC only for the past twenty years or so. Pierre Cenerelli wrote all about Anna's hummingbirds in January on this blog. If you missed his column, you can read it here.
Will I stop the hummers from migrating if I feed them?
Here's what the Rocky Point Bird Observatory scientists say on this subject, one some people worry about: "Do not worry! Feeders will not stop a bird migrating, a process that is triggered by the bird's internal clock and levels of sunshine. Anna's are with us year round and their presence at feeders has just become more obvious because their numbers are increasing locally." (http://rpbo.org/hummingbirds.php)
Anna's or Rufous?
If you live in southwestern BC, and it's winter, and you have a hummer in your yard, it's an Anna's. But in the spring, when both species are around, it could be either a Rufous or an Anna's. You can tell them apart using these visual clues:
1. The male Anna's has a brilliant red gorget, or throat patch, that extends right over his head, making him a sparkling redhead when the sun shines on his iridescent hood. Striking emerald green plumage covers his back and bleeds onto his sides and white belly.
2. The male Rufous has an iridescent gorget but it does not extend beyond his throat. The rest of his body is largely rufous, dark brown, and white, with some green in the wings in certain light.
3. The female Anna's is mostly emerald green and grey with just a small iridescent red gorget that doesn't extend over her head. (Apologies for the poor photo.) She has NO RUFOUS COLOURING ANYWHERE.
4. The female Rufous has a mostly green back, rufous sides, and a white belly. She has some greenish spotting on her throat, usually with a red center spot.
Whether Rufous or Anna's, the House Finch always wins!
Keeping Anna's Alive Through the Winter
On Gabriola Island, bird counters tallied 28 Anna's during the recent Christmas Bird Count. Now, in winter, all that matters to these overwintering beauties in BC is staying alive. But even a lone Rufous had to cope with winter weather on Gabriola during a surprise spring snow storm a few years ago.
Not all Anna's do survive the winter, of course. But if you have a feeder up, there are things you can do to help.
1. Keep your hummer feeder clean. Dirty feeders can be the cause of "hummingbird tongue", a fungal infection that causes the tongue to swell, making it impossible for the bird to eat. An affected bird will sit at a feeder, its swollen tongue just hanging out of its mouth. Eventually it dies of starvation. Since sugar-water is conducive to the growth of pathogens, the only remedy is a preventative one: CLEAN feeders. To clean your feeder, empty and thoroughly wash the whole thing in hot water using a bottle brush to scrub the interior glass. Clean all removable parts with a toothbrush and/or Q-tip. Make sure every speck of foreign material is removed and it's clean enough for YOU to drink from. As a maintenance routine, I recommend the 1-2-3- rule. In the hot summer, clean once a day. In spring-like weather clean every two days. In the winter clean every three days. If your life is too busy and this cleaning regimen is too onerous, you can still enjoy hummingbirds by planting fuschia and flowering currant and many other kinds of brightly-coloured native plants in your garden.
2. Keep the nectar from freezing. (What's more heartbreaking than seeing an Anna's sitting on the perch of a feeder with frozen nectar inside?) Some people (me included) have two or three feeders they rotate as needed, one in the house, staying warm, one outside, getting cold. When the outside feeder gets very cold (or freezes overnight) bring it in and replace it with the other one. Some people keep their feeders from freezing by placing homemade warmers, often concocted from light bulbs, just under the feeder. Others wrap feeders in pipe insulation or beer mug insulators or even woolen socks.
3. Consider using a sweeter than usual solution (3 sugar to 1 water) in winter because it doesn't freeze as quickly as the four-to-one solution and provides increased calories.
4. Place your feeders a good distance apart so that the hummer has to fly to get to them, thereby creating body heat.
Then, just enjoy the hummers!

Paul Ryan on the SOTU-
"I'm concerned the President doesn't fully appreciate the challenge of our national debt—and its threat to our economy. Tonight, he outlined many new programs in detail. But when it came to spending restraint, he was remarkably brief. He overstated his administration's success on this front. And he downplayed the task before us. This isn't a partisan issue. It's math. Over the last four years, the national debt grew by $6 trillion, the largest increase of any presidency. But the President hasn't changed course. For the fourth time in five years, he's failed to submit a budget on time. And Senate Democrats haven't passed a budget in nearly four years."
Yeah, that's about the size of it.

Lisha Kill Middle School believes that participation in sports provides a wealth of opportunities and experiences that assist students in their education. Accordingly, the school offers students opportunities to participate in both modified and intramural athletics across three seasons - Fall, Winter and Spring. South Colonie is a member of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, competing as a Class A school in Section II. League affiliation is with the Suburban Scholastic Council.

Schools required to keep student height and weight data (BMI)
Because New York State is interested in data about children's health, schools are required to keep height and weight data and to calculate students' Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is a way of checking for underweight or overweight youngsters based on their height and weight. Some schools will be surveyed by the state Department of Health each year and asked to share the number of pupils they have in each of six possible BMI categories based on students' age and sex. If our district is surveyed by the state, we will only share group data (for instance, the number of second grade boys whose BMI is below the fifth percentile), not individual data.
Fitness Testing at Lisha Kill Middle School
For more than 20 years South Colonie has been administering and recording some type of fitness testing. The fitness test is an opportunity for evaluation of our student population's physical fitness level. The six events measure muscular strength/endurance, cardio-respiratory endurance, flexibility, agility and speed. As a way of explanation, the district offers South Colonie parents and students the following publications (pdf):
Understanding the Fitness Test - What Does it Measure
Helpful Tips for to Improve on the Fitness Test

Promotes active lifestyles
Builds confidence to achieve success
Encourages students not to give up

Like every president, Barack Obama has his generally-accepted strengths and weaknesses.
His speech-giving ability is, without a doubt, one of his greatest assets, but in Florida over the weekend the man made a mistake almost identical to one made earlier by Vice President Joe Biden.
Speaking to a roaring crowd, the president said American manufacturers are making products that we can sell around the world, stamped with "three proud words."
What are they? According to Obama, the "three" words are: "Made in the USA."
Watch the video, below:
The Weekly Standard notes that Joe Biden made a similar mistake when he dramatically spelled out "J-O-B-S" as a "three-letter word."
Here is video of Biden's speech, via the Weekly Standard:
To be fair, the president was likely thinking of "Made in America" as the "three proud words," having used the phrase properly at the DNC last week.

DALLAS -- Shane Larkin hasn't yet played in an NBA game. But he's already been traded once.
And Larkin knows he coud get traded again before this month is over. Or maybe even before this week is over.
But the rookie point guard from Miami talks like a poised veteran. Or like a soon-to-be millionaire -- the Dallas Mavericks acquired him in a draft day trade with the Atlanta Hawks last Thursday -- who is prepared for anything.
"I want to be a Dallas Maverick,'' Larkin said Monday. "I told the coaches, I told everybody I want to be a Dallas Maverick.
"But at the same time I know the NBA is a business.''
Larkin knows he could be used in a trade if the Mavs somehow are able to convince Dwight Howard he should continue his basketball career in Dallas. He knows the Mavs will not let a rookie stand in the way of the team securing the Los Angeles Lakers' free agent center.
"At the end of the day I hope I'm playing in a Dallas jersey and being able to play with Dirk (Nowitzki) and whoever else is on the team,'' Larkin said. "But it's a business, so I can't be upset with (the Mavs) or have bad feelings towards them or whatever because at the end of the day they have to get down with what they think is best for the organization.
"I hope they keep me there and have me as a pivotal piece in the future of this organization. But at the end of the day there will be no bad feelings if something happens, but I do definitely want to be a Dallas Maverick for sure.''

The chief executive of Tourism Calgary has been let go and replaced with Alberta's former tourism minister.
Randy Williams was let go a week after the organization's annual report showed a record number of visitors to the city last year.
"He brought the organization to a very good place and we needed to deal with some level of change. We're in a stable place. He's done a lot of great things and we're in the market with a lot of those things at this time," said Rod McKay, chair of Tourism Calgary's board.
Cindy Ady will take over as the temporary chief executive. She is a former provincial minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation.
McKay says the focus now is on delivering a successful 2013 tourist season.

If one Linux vendor would stick it out for the long haul
Long-haul linux companies from you can buy your "boxed-sets" linux:
Suse (been around a L-L-O-O-N-N-N-G-G time)
Redhat (you can buy Redhat Enterprise if you have a lot of dough)
Mandriva (also around a very long time)
Turbolinux (big in the pacific region)
And probably others I am forgetting.
Get real!
I use Linux at work/support and at home, I was stating from the 'end user' point of view. Did you forget the RedHat deal with dropping the 9.0 series and below?
Mandriva was Mandrake so it changed and Slackware (come on now along with Xandros) Turbolinux have you tried to install it???
RedHat focuses on the server market not desktop.
What does it mean lost ? What would it mean won ? Do you think of dominance ? Is that the criteria ?
Market leader is Microsoft. They are coming with new features, good or bad ones, all the time. Others are trying to be compliant with them.
I think that it is time for something completely different.
I have an idea, but I am not able to implement it, since I am not C/C++ developer. How about on-demand LAMP (in fact AMP) stack. Apache, MySQL and PHP to be started up when user starts the first application, and to remain active until there is at least one application using it.
Developers would like it, their applications would be desktop and web ones in the same time.

I like shiny sparkling things as much as the next person, which is why this week I thought I'd share a few discoveries from the big, huge, gigantic world of jewelry.
First up, Lia Sophia. The premise is simple and devilishly clever: parties. Think Tupperware parties, only with pretty sparkly things at a fiendishly accessible price point. Can you picture it? All the girlfriends gathered together 'round the catalog and a bevy of lovely samples…I'm not trying to be Billy Mays for Lia Sophia; I just have to admire the business model, which uses the old-school kind of social networking (you know, with actual people instead of computers and controversial privacy issues) with a dangerously generous (and effective) incentive structure for party hostesses.
But it's really all about the catalog, which contains a variety of styles from modern to traditional, sculptural to crafty, as well as the usual selection of metals (silver, gold, mixed). My wife bought a few items from the collection (and received a few through Lia Sophia bonuses and incentives). Here's three:
They all look great and have good quality. All in all, Lia Sophia delivers good value with a great selection. The only downside, other than the risk of ending up with too much jewelry (is that a downside?) comes from my understanding that the jewelry is made in China. Call me a localist; how much cooler would it be if Lia Sophia products were locally, regionally, or even nationally made? Of course, since everything is made in China these days, well…between that and Lia Sophia's unsuccessful attempt to have jewelry for men in their catalog, the lesson is that sometimes you have to take what you get. Sometimes.
Next up: a man who needs no introduction. The inimitable and iconoclastic Edward Gorey through the Gorey House Store. And a question: Don't you just love it when the work of one of your favourite artists is made into bling? And are we still using the word "bling" or have we moved on to something more sensible?
Alas, no Figbash or Bahumbug, no Black Doll or other creatures. But I may have to get serious and consider wearing shirts that allow for cufflinks like these:
So that's about it. No real point to this week's post…then again, pretty things don't always need to have a point other than being pretty. What's your bling? If you could have jewelry inspired by an artist, which artist would you choose? Comments are open below!

Astral Beads Usage
Merriam Webster define astral as "elevated in station or position" and this would make a great talking point for your future conversations with your customers.
You can certainly make astral bead jewelry in the form of bracelets and neckpieces, or even rings to imbibe its energy. It has a certain amount of mystique to it that makes every wearer of the said jewelry piece enjoy its wonderful altitude effect. But of course, these are just psychological benefits that the bead offers other than the aesthetic purposes that it brings.
How To Make Astral Bead Jewelry
Astral beads are a fun way to use for your bead jewelry making. Making astral bead jewelry is similar to any glass beads jewelry making. It requires patience and a lot of imagination. You simply have to prepare your astral beads, clasps, pliers, and stringing wire and you can start the beading process.
Any glass bead jewelry making will not be complete without spacer beads, it may come in polymer and metal but it can surely fit in with your design. Just make sure that you are following your instinct and leave your imagination to finish the job.
Spiritual Transformation Using Astral Beads Accessory
The term astral has made it possible for people to associate it with spiritual or a higher power transformation. In Asia, where different customs and traditions are still being observed, the use of astral beads in jewelries, decorations, and other ornaments is proved to be helping the wearer drive away evil spirits.
Thus, the use of astral beads and gemstones has made it popular to young and old. Even children use these beads as a bracelet to make it appear that the child is being protected by a certain Higher Being around him/her.
It does not really connote spiritual formation but gives the wearer extra boost of confidence. It is more like mind over matter, but this time you have a tangible thing to look at when things gets worst.
Taking Care Of Astral Beads
These kinds of beads are maintenance free. You can actually just soak it in water and wipe it clean and voila! , you have a clean and dainty set of astral beads jewelry. But it does not just stop to cleaning it, proper handling is the key.
You have to make extra effort to store it in a clean, dry, and away from heat areas. Putting it on top of your bathroom sink may make it vulnerable to temperature with the presence of hot and cold shower. Place it in a container where all your jewelries are being kept.

Review by:
David Mark Brown
on Aug. 14, 2011 :
For fans of Firefly and/or the good ole fashioned outlaw hero these shorts should not be passed up. Each story is like another episode in the life of the space junk scavenger Aston West. Well written and quick paced the shorts introduce the reader to Aston's private code and practical rules to surviving amongst the fringes of rough and tumble galactic empire whether he's crossing beautiful bounty hunters or greedy scoundrels. definitely a bargain for only $2.99.

England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Naliveray comes from the name Mauleverer, which at the time of the Norman Conquest, was the name of a noble Norman family.
Early Origins of the Naliveray family
Yorkshire where they held a family seat at Arncliffe Hall. They are descended from Sir Richard Mauleverer who accompanied Duke William of Normandy in his conquest of England in 1066 A.D. He was appointed master of the forests, chases, and parks north of the river Trent. Allerton-Mauleverer in the West Riding of Yorkshire was an ancient family seat. "This place obtained its distinguishing name from the family of Mauleverer, one of whom, named Richard, in the reign of Henry II. founded here an alien priory of Benedictine monks." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. "The lands [of Ingleby Arncliffe in the West Riding of Yorkshire] are chiefly the property of William Mauleverer, Esq., the descendant of the Norman Baron who came over with the Conqueror from Normandy, and whose family have continued here since that period."

Naliveray Spelling Variations
Naliveray Spelling Variations
A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Mauleverer, Malouverer, Maleverer, Malleverer and many more.

Migration of the Naliveray family to the New World and Oceana
Migration of the Naliveray family to the New World and Oceana
Many English families left England, to avoid the chaos of their homeland and migrated to the many British colonies abroad. Although the conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and some travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute, once in the colonies, many of the families prospered and made valuable contributions to the cultures of what would become the United States and Canada. Research into the origins of individual families in North America has revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Naliveray or a variant listed above: Jonathon Mauleverer who landed in North America in 1700.
The Naliveray Motto
The Naliveray Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: En dieu ma foy
Motto Translation: My faith is in God.

Getting Your Wholesale Business Started
The setup process of a wholesale business may be difficult for those who have no previous experience in the field, but it is one of the cheapest and easiest businesses to start. One can consider numerous different options. While some wholesale businesses need stock and physical premises, some others can be operated entirely online, without the need to pre-purchase the items on the inventory. This means that you can start your own wholesale business easily, quickly and with barely any capital investment. Here are a few things you must consider before setting up your enterprise.

Dylan Wasserlein eagerly looked through a selection of books to find the perfect one to read to Trigger, a 4-year-old Brittany spaniel.
As he read, Trigger sat quietly, occasionally glancing up at Dylan.
That was the best part, said the 7-year-old.
"Him sitting down and listening to me," he said.
Dylan was participating in the Nancy Carson Library's newest program offering, Reading to Rover, held Nov. 13.
Dylan was brought to the activity by his grandparents, Ted and Kate Wasserlein.
"He loves to read and we love anything we can do with him," Kate said of her grandson. "We use the library a lot and when we saw this, we decided to participate."
The program, geared toward children in kindergarten through fifth grades, has been held at other libraries, said Nancy Caron Library's children's library assistant Renee Burton.
When Lynn Ealey, Trigger's owner, approached her, Burton said she thought "it was great."
"It's great because it will help boost children's interest in reading and confidence in reading," she said. "They have an impartial listener."
Trigger is a therapy dog, therefore he is really friendly and approachable, said Ealey, adding they are registered with Therapy Dogs Inc.
"He goes and greets people regularly," she said.
They visit several places throughout the area for various activities. With Reading to Rover, children get to read books they select to Trigger.
Each child spends about 15 minutes with Trigger in the program as Ealey sits next to them.
"The kids talk to him, read to him," said Ealey. "He loves children."
The next Reading to Rover program will be held Dec. 18 at 4 p.m., said Burton.
Those interested in having their child participate should go to the library at 135 Edgefield Road to fill out the permission form.

In IRC division two Stephen Barlow's Farr 40 called Forty had enough credits to stay on dry land while the rest of the division fought for the minor placings in today's 22nm race island course. A lucky break for Barlow and his Sydney based crew as they came ashore yesterday afternoon with 100 buckets of water slopping around in the bilge, a result of rudder bearing damage. Forty is now up on the hardstand at Hamilton Island for repairs.
'We were going to race today, luckily we didn't need to as we were half sinking when we came ashore,' said Barlow. 'It's been a great regatta. We are surprised how we finished given the quality of the IRC competition at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.'
Post-race the co-owner of Forty, Sam Hill, organised for a couple of bottles of the island's finest to be sent to the winning crew. Hill was back in Sydney and had calculated Forty couldn't be beaten well before the news hit the crew dealing with the palaver.
Ross Wilsons' Race Week regular Eagle Rock, a Beneteau First 47.7, took out second and Geoff Boettcher's Secret Mens Business third.
IRC division three, three, victor Local Hero from Canberra Yacht Club led the pointscore from the outset. Four wins from six races for the almost two-decade old boat is even more impressive given Race Week is the one time a year the ACT crew jump aboard the 36-footer that is Airlie Beach based.
'Yesterday was the best, a cracker breeze to claim the series; luckily we did,' said skipper Matt Owen. 'None of us sail on this boat regularly, just one regatta a year. We saw almost 20 knots of wind yesterday, which was a little bit scary for us with big waves and whales about. We've had a reasonable record at Race Week; in 2010 we won our division and walked away with an Audi as well.
'I've done 11 or 12 consecutive Race Weeks,' said the multiple Elliott 7 and Flying 15 national champion. 'We've got our Flying 15 world champs in France next year so sadly we won't be at Hamilton Island. It's really cool that I get to sail at Race Week with all of my mates. We don't need an excuse to get out of Canberra in August, it's five degrees at the moment… a bit chilly willy today.'
Newcastle based Beneteau 40.7 Schouten Passage campaigned by the Howard family finished up second on the points table and Andy Kearnan's Summit 35 L'Altra Donna third in the six race series.
The crew on Leslie Green's MC38 Ginger celebrated winning the class' Australian championship once results were posted yesterday afternoon.
John Bacon's Dark Star from the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club finished with a bullet in today's passage race and held off class newcomer, Marcus Blackmore and Hooligan, to come in next best behind Ginger by six points after 12 races.
Variable SSE winds nine -fifteen knots had the one-design fleet taking plenty of water over the decks, Chris Hancock's Vino topping 14kts of boat speed on the kite run.
CEO's take:
Hamilton Island CEO Glenn Bourke oversaw the smooth running of the 31st edition of one of Australia's premier yachting regattas, commentated for Audi's guests and raced part of the week aboard Bob Oatley's supermaxi Wild Oats XI in IRC division one.
'We had a great diversity in conditions from the beginning to the end of the week – there was something for everyone,' said Bourke. 'The best breeze in years mixed with the entertainment on offer and the opportunity to catch up with old sailing friends really made the week. Our aim is to always do it bigger and better next year.'
Trophy winners will be awarded at tonight's final presentation function.

As a young girl Sandy Price dreamed of owning a pony like Misty of Chincoteague. Journeying to Chincoteague for the annual pony penning, a grown Sandy decides to make her dream come true. At the end of the auction she brings home not just one but four beautiful ponies, including Sunshine, a direct descendant of Misty. When Twilight, Sunshine's foal, first appears from her stall, the fire of the wild ponies of Assateague is in her eyes. She races and rears herself into a lather, bucking at even the temporary confinement when the farrier examines her hooves. As Twilight begins to grow in stature and spirit, Sandy realizes the filly has a special future in store for the both of them. Marguerite Henry's Newbery Award-winning collection of horse stories have become children's classics, charming thousands of fans in many different countries. Her stories feature actual people and horses and are refreshingly free from the violent themes and issues so prevalent in today's children's literature. Misty's Twilight is filled with the dreamy quality of yesteryear that holds an ageless appeal to young and old alike.

For the 5 percent of grade-school-aged children and 20 percent of teenagers who have migraines, school can present a unique challenge.

You can be most helpful by working closely with your child and the school to develop a three-part plan that includes trigger avoidance, early symptom identification, and a clear action plan.

Avoid Triggers

The first step to ensuring your child isn't too negatively affected by their migraines is by identifying and controlling any specific factors that may lead to a migraine. In order to accurately identify what kinds of things make your child vulnerable to a migraine headache, consider keeping a journal that tracks various conditions, times, and locations that may be migraine triggers. Once you've identified your child's triggers, you can work to control them, hopefully thereby reducing migraine frequency. Share your findings with school personnel too, as well as your child.

Strategies Stave Off Migraines at School

Use the following steps to help avoid common migraine triggers and control migraines in school:

Get adequate sleep every night. According to the National Sleep Foundation, children ages 5 to 12 need 10 to 11 hours of sleep nightly, whereas teenagers need 8½ to 9¼ hours nightly.

Maintain a consistent daily routine and sleep schedule, even on the weekends.

Get ready for school in a calm way every morning. Because some experts believe that stress can either bring on or complicate the treatment of migraines, plan ahead to cut down on the morning frenzy. Consider taking time the night before to lay out clothes, pack backpacks, etc.

Eat a healthy breakfast every day. Skipping meals can increase the likelihood of a migraine.

Have access to snacks and a healthy lunch during the school day. If you and your pediatrician decide that a daily or occasional snack is important for your child's well-being, but the school doesn't provide a time for snacks, bring the matter to the attention of school administrators so that your son or daughter can have a quick mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack.

Understand your child's food triggers.This is especially important if your son or daughter will be eating a school-provided lunch or if other children might be bringing in snacks or a birthday treat to share in class. Encourage your child to watch out for foods that most commonly induce their migraines, such as aged cheese, processed foods, cured meats, nuts, chocolate, raisins, yeast-containing baked goods and foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Stay well-hydrated. Getting adequate fluids throughout the day can help prevent migraines. Speak with the teacher about keeping a water bottle at your child's desk so that he or she can take regular sips.

Avoid caffeine. Caffeine can be a trigger for some people, and since children are smaller and harder hit by a dose than adults would be, discourage your child from drinking caffeinated beverages.

Avoid fluorescent lighting. If the classroom is lit by fluorescent lights and your child is sensitive to the flickering, you may need to talk to the school about using alternative lighting.

Has some daily down time. Since it may be helpful to keep your child's stress level low, try not to over-schedule the after-school activities.

Identify Early Symptoms

It's important to help your children learn to identify their pre-headache symptoms and recognize the signs of an impending migraine headache. However, don't let yourself or your child become hypersensitive to normal body sensations, misreading them as signs of incipient migraines.

Common warning signs include:

stiff neck

fatigue and yawning

frequent urination

ringing in the ears

low or irritable mood

difficulty concentrating

bright spots or flashes of light or color affecting the eyes

tingling or numbness in the hands, feet or face.

You may want to keep a migraine diary to help track your child's pre-headache symptoms and migraine patterns.

Create an Action Plan

Above all, establish good communication with your school. Have a meeting with your child's teacher and other school staff at the start of each school year to make sure that they understand migraine headaches. Give the school a written list of warning signs to help them recognize an oncoming migraine, as well as a description of the typical symptoms your son or daughter experiences.

Follow Protocol and Work With the School

Find out what steps the school would like your child to follow if a migraine strikes. For example, if your child begins to notice pre-headache symptoms at school, what then? Where would the child go for help? You'll need to be able to tell your child who will be helping them, whether it will be the classroom teacher, an office secretary, or a school nurse.

Explain to the teacher that in the event of pre-headache symptoms, your child may need to take certain steps to help prevent a migraine from occurring. Ask the teacher how your child should go about such things as:

Grabbing a quick snack

Getting a drink of water

Going to a quiet place, turning off the lights and catching a quick catnap

Performing yoga or breathing and relaxation techniques to dispel stress

Ask your pediatrician to help you decide whether any medications should be given at school. If so, you'll need to make sure any permission forms are completed and that there's a supply of medications on hand. These medications must be submitted with clearly written instructions about what symptoms should prompt administration and how the medication should be given (amount and frequency). Make sure you check back with the school during the year to maintain the school's supply of your child's medicines.

When to Seek Help at School

Let the school administrators know what symptoms should prompt them to contact you immediately, such as:

A headache that doesn't improve after two hours, despite treatment

Symptoms that vary considerably from the typical symptoms your child experiences with a migraine

Extreme symptoms, such as visual changes, vomiting, slurred speech, fever, or weakness or paralysis

Increasing frequency of migraines

Need for a fresh supply of medicine

The Bottom Line

With some advanced planning, there's a lot parents can do to minimize the challenges their children and teens face due to migraine headaches. Giving your son or daughter a sense of how to recognize and avert incipient migraines, and what to do if one strikes, will lay the foundation for an enjoyable and successful school year.

Importance of paying good attention to new online casino members
The online world is a place where no one is made to feel an outcast. With search engines telling anyone about everything, it is impossible to imagine one doesn't know anything that one wants to. The same way, each and every website that functions online follows that service. When talking of online top rated online casinos, it is impossible to not mention the best kind of tutorials and helps that they provide.
Online welcoming of new gaming enthusiasts
The kind of welcome that they insure is of course much better than the land based ones. Meaning to say that the online world of casino welcomes the new players with much warmth and an opportunity to learn the game thoroughly and to then participate. In the land based ones though, you get to go to the casino, but it is not necessary that one would be on the back of yours, helping you, guiding you and answering all your queries.
Surviving as a newbie in a land based casino, hard, compared to online ones
It is good that being a layman to casino gaming world you have a friend who can guide you through the rules and the regulations, explain you about the stakes involved, the style to play, to communicate and all, if you don't, well you are pretty much on your own. To those players and to all the new, the online casino world is sad to be the best without a doubt. So, basically, it is the only thing that the new players can look for. The above has not been said to promote the online website like Microgaming Casinos, it has been said only after seeing the expanse of how the online casino world treats a newbie into the game, or say a layman into the world of casino. Right from providing a new registered layman, a thoroughly sketched and explained tutorial, to making available chat services that the expert's answer to solve queries and what not. These things sure make for the best kind of support for any newbie.

Having the right qualifications is essential if you want to climb the career ladder. Those top jobs with the juicy salaries and sweet perks won't just fall into your lap. You'll have to work to get them, and one of the best ways to secure the qualifications that you'll need to move up in the corporate world is to take a degree online.
With an online degree program, you study in your spare time (evenings and weekends) fitting your coursework in around your current job and your family commitments. You'll typically need to devote about 15 hours a week to your course and it will take around two years to complete, although you can take the courses at a more leisurely pace if you need to.
When you enroll, you'll get access to prerecorded tutorials and other course material, as well the details that you'll need to participate in any live class sessions and course discussions.
You have the option to study for an associate degree, a bachelor's degree, or a master's degree. As long as you study with an accredited college or university like Northeastern University, your degree certification will carry the same status as the degrees earned on campus. Always check a school's accreditation status because degrees from unaccredited schools are close to worthless.
You'll have the widest choice of degree subject if you study for a bachelor's degree, but while a degree at that level is good for getting a foot in the door, it won't be enough to secure you that lucrative six figure job you've been eyeing up. So you're really looking at studying for a master's degree.
If you already love the type of work that you do, then it makes sense to study for a degree that will propel you up that particular career ladder. For example, if you work in corporate accounting and already hold a bachelor's degree, you could follow an online master in taxation program. Once you've completed your online master in taxation degree, you'll be able to qualify for your CPA license, which will give you access to the best jobs in your field, in both the public and private sector.
If you're not too happy with your current career and feel that it offers you limited opportunity for progression, or you simply feel that you made the wrong choice with your undergraduate degree, pick a degree in a field that excites you. You can take a degree in computer science and get ready to protect computer networks from cybercrime, you could study civil engineering and get involved in revamping the country's infrastructure, or you could join the caring professions and study social work, healthcare management or even qualify to become a highly paid physician's assistant.
Those are just a few of the degree programs that you could consider. If you're serious about progressing in your current career or switching to a new field, then spend some time looking at your options. With so many choices for advancing your education and opening up new career opportunities, there's no need to remain stuck in a job that you don't enjoy, or that won't pay you the salary that you deserve.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for St Cloud State.
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the mechanical engineering department, you may consider San Joaquin Delta College audio engineering program as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Think it's hard getting through to your teenager about the importance of faith? Think it's difficult to find good role models for your kids nowadays?
Think again. Help has arrived.
Not the least problem with modern culture is its lack of real heroes. This is particularly true of sports, where we're more likely to see our athletic luminaries lined up in a police station than for Communion. Compare the Lou Gehrigs and Joe DiMaggios of yesterday to Barry Bonds and his ilk today: Almost across the board, stars of today seem to pale in comparison to their predecessors, lacking their elders' character, charisma, and class.
Well, Catholic Exchange and America Family Media are trying to change our thinking about that. They've just released Champions of Faith — Baseball Edition, a magnificent hour-long documentary on Catholic baseball players that is equal parts sports highlights, human-interest stories, and powerful evangelical tool. Featuring interviews with such well-known baseball personalities as Mike Piazza, Jeff Suppan, David Eckstein, Mike Sweeney, Jack McKeon, Rich Donnelly, and others, Champions of Faith is tailor-made for reaching out to young people and proving you don't have to be a thug in cleats to make it in the big leagues.
I'm the first to admit my interest in baseball has waned considerably. Strikes, scandals, skyrocketing salaries, and spoiled sportsmen have nearly ruined the game for me. Boycotting is about the only pleasure I still derive from the national pastime.
It wasn't always that way. Growing up, I loved the sport with red-hot passion. Back in the 1960s, baseball was a game with a soul. While always a steadfast New York Yankee fan, I admired stars from other teams, names now bringing lumps to the throat just mentioning them. Koufax, Drysdale, Gibson, Yaz, Musial, Rose, Clemente, Mays, Aaron, Oliva, Kaline, McCovey, the Robinsons and others were revered members of my personal Hall of Fame.
Nowadays, though, more major leaguers deserve to be wearing prison stripes than pin stripes. Obviously, the Vatican also is concerned with returning morality to sport. The late Pope John Paul II commented, "Sport plays an important role in the life of our society" because millions watch and participate in them. Therefore, said the Pope, it is essential to make sports "one of the frontiers of the new evangelism" and introduce Christian values through it.
This is precisely what Champions of Faith aims to do. The film focuses on the important role the Catholic faith plays in the life of an astonishing number of ballplayers.
We hear how prayer helps 2006 National League Championship Series Most Valuable Player Jeff Suppan of the St. Louis Cardinals keep his poise and composure and how teammate David Eckstein's faith helped him cope with a serious injury before coming back to be the 2006 World Series MVP. Mike Sweeney, the Kansas City Royals' first superstar since the great George Brett, explains how he fought the twin sins of despair and pride by humbling himself before God. This gave him the fortitude to apologize and seek forgiveness from a hated rival for starting a fight.
Manager Jack McKeon, with 50 years in professional baseball, tells how St. Therese, the Little Flower, helped his Florida Marlins pulled off a Big Miracle with a series of improbable comebacks in winning the 2003 World Championship. Rich Donnelly, now the Los Angeles Dodgers' third-base coach, gives irrefutable evidence that Amy, his daughter who died of a brain tumor at age 18, was up in Heaven pulling for her dad's team when the Florida Marlins won the 2003 World Series.
But perhaps my favorite episode is Mike Piazza's, the greatest hitting catcher in baseball history with 420 home runs and counting. Turns out the friendly, talkative Piazza, who has faced down 100-mph fastballs and even took a bean ball on the noggin from Rocket Roger Clemens, was totally unnerved and speechless when meeting his hero: Pope John Paul II. Piazza's spiritual life — when his team is on the road, he arranges for Mass to be said in the clubhouse — is even stronger than his bat speed.
Filmed in gorgeous, high-definition video, Champions of Faith is destined to become a classic in the revitalization of Catholic media, as rich and profound in its own way as Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, or The Passion of the Christ are in theirs. Not only will this film give your sports-loving children some men to look up to, it just might rekindle your respect for the game you loved so much as a kid.
My only question is: When do we get Champions of Faith — Football Edition?

Dog Father Slot Review
Microgaming has created another video bonus slots game that comes with free games, bonus rounds, wild symbols and has 20 pay lines. Dog Father is a Godfather themed game that comes with cartoon like characters that brings entertainment and a story line to the 5 reels. The mob in this tale consists of canines and his family. The graphics complement the game in every way possible, even the spin button is designed like a dog bone.
The coin denominations offered in this game range from 0.01-0.50 per pay line with a max amount of 100 coins being allowed per spin. The assortments of bets that can be wagered per spin are tailored made for both the lower and higher staked players.
The Dog Father is the wild symbol and what he does is replaces other symbols to create the winning pays. When he is involved with the winning combination he animates. The only symbols that he does not substitute are the Flea and Fire Hydrant. The Flea is the scatter symbol and not only does it payout scatter wins up to 100x the triggering wager, but it also triggers the free games when three or more appear. 13 free spins are awarded with all pays having a triple multiplier attached to them. Free games can re trigger if and when the Fleas appear during the free games.
The special feature offered in this game is the Mark your Territory bonus game. This is triggered when three Fire Hydrants make it to the reels. 13 different Fire Hydrants appear on the second screen. Players just need to click on the different ones to reveal the bonus amount that has been won. The amount of picks depends on how many Fire Hydrants triggered the feature. If 5 Fire Hydrants triggered this bonus game up to 5,320 coins can be won.
Some of the clan and other symbols that put the story line together include the Female Dog, Dog Paw Brass Knuckles, Dobermans, Jack Russell Terrier, Stuffed Animal, Guns and other thematic symbols. For most of the symbols, all it takes is at least three to appear together to get a payout. These symbols will help create the 41 different winning combinations that are waiting to be won.
The highest paying prize amount is when the Dog Father appears on one single pay line paying out 13,000 coins which equals out to be $32,500 if the maximum wager amount is in place.
The Dog Father slots game definitely isn't a boring machine to play, like some of the older games here; in fact it is one of the more amusing ones to spin the reels on. The cool characters and features make it a bit more interesting than the typical game.
If you like standard deck videopoker, especially videopoker with special rewards, you will love Bonus Poker Deluxe. With clearly designed slick graphics and an easy to play game, you are sure to have every chance to win.
In addition, you can choose which cards you want to hold or turn on the automatic hold function that will hold the mathematically calculated best cards.
Take advantage of generous payouts when you have 4-of-a-kind or chance your luck with the double-up gamble feature. A nice bonus poker deluxe jackpot of 4,000 coins is available here.

The longer you've been familiar with the world of super-hero comics, the more you know some things to be true. Sooner or later, all characters will come back from the dead. Sooner or later, all characters who once starred in their own book that was since cancelled will get another headlining book. And sooner or later, you'll get a real apathy towards the endless recycling and rehashing of the same characters over and over again. It's because of this last one that I almost missed out on one of the latest revamps at Marvel, The Immortal Iron Fist. And now I feel stupid for doing so, because the reality is that it's actually quite good.

Gayming with Soul Calibur 5
So we've been playing Soul Calibur 5 for a few days now, checking out the various modes and customization features. Overall the game is pretty difficult.
Normally you will be inclined to start the story mode to unlock some features for the game. You begin as Patrokalos, whiney, headstrong, a typical anime hero archetype. He's in search for his long lost sister, Pyrrha, who constantly refuses to fight and is easily manipulated into thinking she's a tainted being known as the "malfested." These characters start off pretty annoying in the beginning until the end where they kind of grow on you.
The story is 20 chapters long and you can complete it in one sitting. You can not use custom characters to play through this mode so no eye candy for you. The story mode has its infuriating moments especially with the battle between Nightmare and Elysion. When fighting Nightmare, you control newcomer Z.W.E.I., a werewolf whose battle style, although interesting to look at, is just no match for Nightmare.
Nightmare will constantly entangle you in combos and uppercut attacks. He uses them to the point where you most likely won't be able to control your character for the rest of the battle. At this point you are too much of a beginner to fight, but we can still trudge through and lower the difficulty setting. This option shows up after you lose a battle in story mode.
After completing story mode you can set your sights on the Arcade Mode. Unlike Soul Calibur 4, you unlock customization items by gaining points each time you win or lose a battle. So no longer will you have to find someone to do an impossible achievement just to unlock the rest of the items.
Character customization is deeper than before, allowing you to place up to 3 accessories in any position and location. In addition, you can place patterns, tattoos, and stickers in any location and color on any of your garments to create a truly unique look.
We're quite irked about the faces, you still have the same male faces from Soul Calibur 4 and boy are they ugly. Since we have a preference for beards on here, only 2 bearded faces look great, while the others are kind of hideous.
You can't really customize anything at all with the faces they give you except for the eyebrows. You can select which eyebrows you want and color it separately. We hope in the future they allow you to customize the overall shape and position of facial features, so we can choose how hideous our faces should be.
Unrealistic Makeshift Penis Assemble!
If you want to gay up the game a bit, you can use three accessories. The gourd, a phallic shaped bottle, is for some reason by default positioned on the crotch. You just pinch here and squeeze there to create your own strap on penis with balls!
Chest hair unlocks at level 22,
the fastest way to get it is to play arcade mode.
You can add bulge to your underwear using the sphere accessory.

Chef Rakhee Vaswani talks about her new book for 'picky eaters'
Chef Rakhee Vaswani's first book, Picky Eaters And Other Meal-time Battles, offers quick easy recipes and guidelines to serving restaurant-style tasty, yet healthy, meals at home
Seven years since the launch of Palate Culinary Studio, chef Rakhee Vaswani released her first book, Picky Eaters next yesterday. "My husband is the pickiest eater in my family," she quips. The book is based on her observations and the tactics she applied to ensure her family got the correct nutrients. She jots down her experiments with her kids, now 16 and 18, to gulp down that glass of milk and eat the much-detested broccoli. Excerpts from an interview:
Your forte is baking and desserts. Why did you choose this subject for your first book?
Today, even my baking classes have evolved as I include gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free items as even people with a sweet tooth have become health conscious. I have been a picky eater as a child, and I know that every household has that one picky eater. I wanted to write a book, especially for mothers, to show that there is a cheat sheet.
Chef Rakhee Vaswani
Why are kids picky eaters?
No number of food pyramids children learn in class will make them eat nutritious foods. Many kids face a fear of food called Cibophobia, or a general dislike for certain vegetables or lack of inclination to try new foods. Did you know it can take up to 15 variations of an ingredient for a child to eat it?
How will this book help the reader?
Today, the man or woman who mans the kitchen is faced with the challenge of cooking restaurant-style good looking, yet healthy food. In the book, I suggest sly ways to include nutritious ingredients into tasty foods, for example, the butter chicken gravy can be made with almonds instead of cashew nut, spinach can be added to smoothies and air fry or roast onions instead of frying them for a biryani. For crispy noodles in a Chinese meal, crisp the noodles in an oven instead of deep frying. In the book, I also stress on the important of a healthy food culture in the house.
How should one deal with a picky eater?
Including your child in grocery shopping and cooking a meal helps a great deal. This will open their minds to trying the final product. Also, to strike a balance, one tricky dish should be served with a tasty side dish.
Vegan chocolate mousse
- By fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala
Take one ripe avocado and purée it until it is smooth
Then, take 1/2 cup cocoa powder and coconut milk/almond milk each mix the two together. Then, add them to the avocado
Now take two teaspoons of a natural sweetener/stevia and one natural vanilla extract. Add both to the above mixture
You can also add nuts or berries if you want to give your dessert that extra crunch or flavour
Transfer the mixture into individual bowls and refrigerate until cold
Easy to implement
To stir fry veggies or chicken, replace refined flour with barley flour
While making spinach gravy, cut down its peculiar taste by sautéing all the ingredients in the gravy
For the roti shirkers, add bran flour and cheese to wheat flour. Cheese will add the protein and uplift the taste
If kids don't like the taste of milk, add a banana and blend
