Summer Rituals On Chincoteague
I SHOULD probably start by confessing that I did not go through a horse-crazy stage when I was growing up, and therefore the name Chincoteague had no particular significance for me. My family and I first stumbled on the island on a drive down the East Coast heading ...
In the Company of Wild Horses
When you've been to the mall too many Sundays and you need a change, the obvious place to go is Assateague Island. The mall is noisy, with harsh lights and altogether too many people. Assateague is a 37-mile-long barrier island off the coast of Maryland and Virginia, ...

About Yoga
Yoga has been around for thousands of years and is gaining popularity in this country because people are recognizing its many benefits. Yoga is a form of exercise based on the belief that the body and the breath are intimately connected with the mind. By working with the breath as you move the body or hold the body in certain postures, yoga creates harmony. The yoga concept is that the body has a series of energy centers known as chakras. These energy centers are linked to our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves.
Health Benefits of Yoga
- Yoga positively impacts several systems in the body: nervous system, digestive system, immune system, circulatory system
- Stress reduction
- Decrease fatigue
- Awareness of self and body
- Learn more....
As yoga allows you to relax, it has healing affects on the mind, body, and spirit.

A qualified individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity is "disabled" and protected by the ADA. A qualified person with a physical or mental impairment that limits a major life activity is "disabled" and protected by the FEHA. Under both laws a person with HIV/AIDS, for example, is considered to be disabled.
Physical and mental disabilities under the ADA and the FEHA include a broad range of medical conditions, such as:
Major life activities are basic functions and may include: caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, seeing, hearing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, sitting, reaching, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, interacting with others, reproduction, and working.
Major life activities also include operation of a major bodily function, such as normal cell growth, the operation of an organ, or the functioning of the digestive, neurological, respiratory, circulatory, cardiovascular, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and reproductive functions.
An impairment is a disability under the ADA if it substantially limits an individual's ability to perform a major life activity compared to most people in the general population. An impairment limits a major life activity, and is a disability under the FEHA, if it makes achievement of the activity more difficult.3. What if my condition is stabilized with medication or I use a prosthetic device?
Under the FEHA and the amended ADA, an employee's disability is considered without regard to "mitigating measures" such as medication, prosthetics, assistive technology, or other devices or strategies used to mitigate the effects of the condition. This means that people with physical or mental conditions who are currently stable due to medications or treatment are still protected.4. What if my condition is episodic or is currently in remission?
A condition which is episodic or in remission is considered a "disability" if it would be substantially limiting in its active phase.5. Who else is protected?
The ADA and the FEHA also protect people who are regarded or treated as having a disability, or who have a record or history of a disability. The ADA also protects a person who experiences discrimination based upon an impairment, even if the person does not have an actual or perceived disability. In addition, the FEHA protects persons who are not currently disabled, but who may become disabled in the future.6. What are my rights if I have a disability?
Under the ADA, employers with fifteen or more employees cannot discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities. The FEHA bars discrimination by employers with five or more employees, or harassment by employers with one or more employees. This means that if you have a disability and can do the basic duties of the job, you cannot be harassed, demoted, terminated, paid less, or treated more poorly because of your disability.
Persons with disabilities may request and obtain reasonable accommodations to enable them to perform their jobs. A disabled employee is "qualified" is she or he can perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodations.
Workers with disabilities may challenge unnecessary employer policies that exclude them from employment opportunities.
Qualified applicants cannot be rejected on the basis of their disabilities, and may obtain reasonable accommodation during the hiring process.
Reasonable Accommodation
Reasonable accommodations are adjustments or modifications made to a job or workplace which enable an employee or job applicant to successfully perform the basic duties of a position. A reasonable accommodation must be "reasonable" on its face and may not eliminate the essential functions of the job. An accommodation may not be unduly costly or disruptive for the employer (undue hardship). An employee also has the right to refuse an accommodation.
Examples of possible reasonable accommodations include:
An employer is required to accommodate only known disabilities. There is no one specific way to notify an employer; an employer's knowledge of a disability may be implied. However, to guarantee the legal right to accommodation, an employee should explicitly disclose the disability.9. What do I have to say to my employer if I am seeking an accommodation?
To be protected by the ADA/FEHA, you must disclose your disability to at least one person who represents the employer, such as a supervisor or human resource person. If your disability is of a personal nature, you do not necessarily need to tell your employer all the details of the disability. You should provide your employer with enough information to show that you have a disability/impairment that substantially limits certain major life activities.
In your disclosure or request, it is often helpful to use words such as "disability," "impairment," "limiting," "major life activities," and "accommodation."
Disclosure to an employer of a hidden disability is always an extremely personal decision. Employees considering such disclosure should compare the costs and benefits, including:
No. You can request accommodation in writing, orally, through e-mail or by any other form of communication. However, you may want to keep records in case there is a dispute in the future over whether you made the request.11. Am I required to release my medical or psychiatric records to obtain accommodations?
No. If your disability or your need for accommodation is not obvious, your employer may ask for reasonable medical documentation. The documentation should be limited to a doctor's note or other medical documents showing that you have a disability and need accommodation. You are not required to produce your entire medical or mental health file.12. Do I have to disclose my disability to everyone at work?
No. You must disclose to someone who represents the employer, such as a supervisor or a human resources person. However, you are not required to disclose to co-workers. In fact, medical information obtained by an employer must be kept confidential, and maintained in files separate from your personnel file. This information can be revealed only to supervisors and managers who need to know about the accommodation and any restrictions on your work or duties.13. What happens after I request an accommodation?
Once you request an accommodation, your employer must make a reasonable effort to determine the appropriate accommodation. However, you must also be willing to participate in the process of developing and implementing the accommodation.
Employees who do not fully participate in the process may lose their ADA and FEHA rights. This participation may require the employee to submit requested medical documentation and to attend scheduled meetings. If the employer or employee rejects a suggested accommodation, the employee must take steps to continue the process. You may wish to enlist the assistance of third-party advocates during the process.
To protect their rights, employees should take proactive steps, such as:
Applying For a Job
Before a job offer is made, an employer may not ask you any questions that are likely to reveal information about a disability. This rule bars direct questions about a particular disability ("Do you have any heart problems or mental illnesses?"), questions about the ability to perform "major life activities" unrelated to the job ("Have you ever been unable to take care of yourself?"), and most questions regarding prescription drug use ("Do you take painkillers or antidepressants?").
However, if the disability is obvious or if the applicant has voluntarily disclosed a disability, and the employer reasonably believes that the applicant will need an accommodation to do the job, then the employer may ask limited questions about accommodations.15. Am I required to disclose my disability when I apply for a job to protect my rights?
No. You are not required to disclose your disability at the time you apply for a job, even if you later need a workplace accommodation. You may wait until you actually are seeking accommodation—which may be months or years later—before you disclose. However, it is wise to seek accommodation before your performance suffers.16. What may an employer ask me after a job offer has been made, but before I start working?
The ADA does not prohibit post-offer, pre-employment medical examinations or inquiries—even those unrelated to job performance—so long as the information is kept confidential, and all entering employees in the same job category are asked the same questions. If an employer uses the results of such examinations or inquiries to revoke the job offer, it may be required to prove that its reasons are "job-related and consistent with business necessity."
Under the FEHA, medical inquiries and examinations made after a job offer has been given but before the person starts working must be job-related and consistent with business necessity.
On-the-Job Medical Inquiries and Examinations
Employers cannot ask questions about your disability, or require a medical examination, unless the questions or examination are job-related and consistent with business necessity. Even if you seem sickly or ill, an employer cannot ask medical questions unless there is a job-related reason.
The following situations may justify limited medical inquiries. Otherwise, your employer is probably not entitled to medical information:
Even if there is a job-related reason, the employer's request for medical information or documentation must still be reasonable and related to the situation. No requests can exceed the scope of the employer's need to evaluate the impact of the disability on the situation. Most important, any medical information the employer obtains must be kept confidential, and stored in a separate medical file—not with your regular personnel file.

Pharming, and the threat of identity theft
The pharmers and phishers are after your precious financial infor-mation. We'll show you how to protect your interests.
Phishing is the art of tricking unsuspecting Internet users into giving up personal and financial information. This nefarious game has brought big rewards to a new generation of cyber con men. But phishing is only one of several tools in a bigger bag of tricks. This article examines some popular techniques for identity theft and shows what you can do to stay ahead of the threat. Phishing and Pharming Phishing uses tricks like spoofed email to tempt unsuspecting users into visiting rogue sites, where they are asked to enter personal data such as passwords or PIN numbers. Phishing attacks occur in two phases: in Phase One, the user is tricked into visiting the attacker's web server. Attackers use various initial vectors to attract victims. In Phase Two, the user is prompted to enter the personal data. This part of the attack is often referred to as visual spoofing. The best known initial vectors are email spoofing and cross site scripting (XSS), where the attacker misuses the website of a trusted third party to initiate the attack. In all of these cases, the attack relies on the victim playing along and would fail without the victim's compliance.

It looks like the deadline is going to be about re-stocking the shelves for the 2014 entry draft. Edmonton has their own first, and then no picks until #116 (San Jose's fourth) and that's going to be an area to address.
- "It's a tough market to predict at this point, but we'll be having those discussions."
- "I'd be disappointed if we weren't able to get our second- or third-rounder back."
- "And potentially more than that. If we're sitting at the draft with our first pick and then we're not picking again until the fourth round, that'd be disappointing."
- "That's exactly what we're going to try and do – get those picks back."
There was some verbal earlier (and I felt it was possible) that the Oilers would be looking for live players. However, teams don't want to move them now because they're trying. to. win. the. game. So, picks it is.
- Ales Hemsky: First-round draft pick (or a second and a fourth).
- Nick Schultz: A third round pick.
- Ryan Smyth: A fourth round pick.
- Corey Potter: A fourth round pick.
- Anton Belov: A fourth round pick.
- Ilya Bryzgalov: A fourth round pick.
- Jesse Joensuu: A fourth round pick.
- Taylor Fedun: A fourth round pick.
- Mark Fraser: A fourth round pick.
- Luke Gazdic: A fifth round pick.
- Ryan Jones: A sixth round pick.
- Denis Grebeshkov: A seventh round pick.
- Ben Eager: A seventh round pick.
That's my estimate, you're welcome to add/delete/disagree. I think all defensemen can fetch a fourth unless you're motor functions are in question.
I predict the Oilers draft this summer in the first four rounds this summer: #4, #43, #84, #103 and #116.

Should I feel guilty filing for bankruptcy?
One reader is feeling the guilt, despite being urged to file by others.
I get a lot of questions about the best way to get out of debt, but few about the morality of different choices. Here's a recent reader email that addresses the issue.
My name is Jodi. I recently signed up to get your newsletters so that I can understand what's the best way to deal with this subject.
I currently owe about $20,000 in credit card debt. I was told by a lawyer that I should file for bankruptcy. I don't feel right about bankruptcy because it's my bill and I feel I should at least make an effort with the companies to see if they could lower the amount so that I can consolidate the bills. Can you please educate me as to what would be a better deal for me? Your newsletters are very helpful.
While dealing with debt is pretty cut and dried, dealing with the moral obligation to repay a debt is a bit more slippery. The type of person you are, your resources and the type of debt you owe all play a part.
Over the years I've heard from many people agonizing over the moral dilemma of filing bankruptcy. As a result, I've gradually arrived at the conclusion that most should think more about what will best serve their financial purposes and less about moral imperatives. This is especially true when it comes to debts like credit cards.
Before I explain why, let's spend a minute on something simpler: what to do when faced with crushing debt. Check out the following video about rebuilding your credit after bankruptcy.
When should you file bankruptcy?
Something a bankruptcy lawyer told me in the course of an interview years ago stuck with me: Consider bankruptcy when your minimum payments exceed your ability to meet them.
In Jodi's case, a bankruptcy lawyer has already advised that she should file. Granted, this lawyer isn't objective because the lawyer stands to profit from Jodi's case. But if the advice rings true to Jodi, she should probably follow it. If not, she should get a second opinion, perhaps from a credit counseling agency or another lawyer.
What about negotiating with the creditors?
Jodi is wondering if it's worth a try to call her creditors and see if she can negotiate lower amounts so she can pay her debts. The answer: Sure, why not?
But while she can do it herself, I'd suggest using a professional to help.
A credit counseling organization can step between you and your creditors, set up a repayment plan and probably get some of your rates reduced and fees waived. Read more about that option here.
A lawyer -- like a bankruptcy lawyer -- could help you negotiate a lump-sum payment with the creditor. In Jodi's case, for example, she could offer $10,000 today as payment in full for her $20,000 debt. The obvious problem is she'll need $10,000.
There are companies that offer to settle debts, then allow you to make monthly payments until you save up the necessary lump sum. But many are shady and charge high fees. Read more about that option here.
What about your moral obligation?
Years ago, the answer to the question of "Should I pay my debts?" was simple: Of course.
This is the way I was raised, Jodi was raised and if you had typical parents, you were raised: A person of honor meets his or her obligations. Your word is your bond. A person who reneges on his debts isn't to be trusted.
But after more than 20 years as a consumer reporter, it's not so black and white to me. One reason: Many lenders expect you to have morals, but demonstrate little themselves.
I can point to many examples: Credit card companies that double interest rates when you're a day late with a payment. Banks charging multiple $35 bounced-check fees if you overdraw your account by $2. Tax preparation companies charging triple-digit rates so you can have your tax refund a week early. Mortgage lenders lying about credit quality. Payday lenders, rent-to-own furniture stores and pawn shops deliberately targeting the poorest and least educated in our society.
Many lenders wouldn't hesitate to use bankruptcy to eliminate any obligation they had to you. In fact, some of America's biggest companies routinely use bankruptcy to get out of union contracts, retiree health care and other obligations.
In short, the playing field's not level. Because while many people feel guilt when they fail to meet an obligation, corporations aren't people. They don't feel anything.
None of this, of course, relieves you of your moral obligation to act responsibly and do your best. But when your best isn't good enough, there's no shame in taking advantage of a system that exists to give those who deserve it a second chance. More than a million Americans do it every year.
The bottom line
If your debt problem arose from something beyond your control, like illness, injury or a job loss, there was absolutely nothing you could do, so you have nothing to feel guilty about. Even if your problems arose solely from irresponsible behavior, if you have any sense at all, you'll likely learn not to repeat your mistakes.
Smart Spending on the go: Get our app for Android or iPhone
Either way, Jodi, you have more than an obligation to your credit card company. You have the obligation to protect your sanity, your future and your family by using the lawful system you support with your tax dollars. If it's your best path, don't hesitate to take it.
And remember, even if you file bankruptcy and later feel bad, there's no law that prohibits you from repaying a lender down the road. Bankruptcy relieves you of the obligation to repay debts, not the ability.
More from Money Talks News:
- Not hired? Your credit report may be to blame
- 10 money missteps new grads should avoid
- Study: Many Americans don't understand credit scores
It's one thing to file because your debt piled up because you needed to buy food or keep the lights on. It's another if you shop with the fervor of an athlete training for the Oympics.
It's also not okay to run up your debt right before you file buying unnecessary things (new couch, lots of clothing).
Bankruptcy is to give you a fresh start, and a fresh start includes not repeating your mistakes and adopting new ways - living within your means (no matter how big or how small), distinguishing between wants/needs and actively managing your money (or otherwise it continues to manage you).
When we built our house, then put in sod, trees, drapes, etc., we owed 37k on CC and car loans. We went super cheap and paid it off in three years. Wasn't fun, but got rid of the debt.
I wouldn't file BK unless it was business BK. The question is, what is the income level and payments. If you are making 10k a year, there is probably no way you will be able to pay off 20k.
I feel badly for many people who put themselves into unmanageable debt. True, lots of folks have really awful spending habits, but many lose jobs, get taken advantage of, etc. There are tons of people with completely ruined credit (especially those with a bottom rung income) who are truly ignorant and/or simply not intelligent enough to see through the lies of people who make a living off putting Americans into debt. The real money is in the interest and fees, so no entity that offers a line of credit can't make a buck without seeing another American shoulder some payments.
Ridiculous system. My favorite part is when a loan/credit agent says ANYTHING to get a clients signature and right before the John Hancock goes on paper, the agent makes a brief, seemingly innocent statement legally nullifying anything they've promised. A mess of folks get it from behind at least once at this point. Then there are medical bills.
The bottom line... an honest individual will always be at a disadvantage when conducting business with a dishonest individual, and it's always easier to make a dishonest 2 bucks than it is to make an honest buck.

Out and about with nothing to eat? These healthy, low-calorie snacks will keep you shopping until you drop.
It's a familiar story: You're out for what seems like hours, running errands, shopping at the mall, or driving all day, when suddenly you feel that growl in your belly. You're hungry, and you didn't pack a snack. You could succumb to the Cinnabon stand or grab some fries at the drive-through, but there are better options! "A nutrient-dense snack will give you that quick fix you need until you get home to prepare a real meal," says Linda McLachlan, RD, CDN, a New Jersey dietitian with Nutrition Matters, LLC. Here, six emergency snacks that are healthy and filling.
When fast food restaurants are all you have access to -- say, when you're on a daylong driving trip -- it's best to know your healthy choices. A McDonald's Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait will fill you up thanks to the fruit's fiber, and sustain your hunger, thanks to the yogurt's protein. Whatever you do, avoid the fries. "They're nothing but junk!" says McLachlan.
Recommended serving size: 1 small McDonald's Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait (hold the granola)

A single-serve bag of crackers and a string cheese are easy to find at a mini-mart or 7-11. What's more, they're a great combo to help curb your hunger and add some nutrients to your day. The Wheat Thins offer fiber and good, whole-grain carbs, while the string cheese adds hunger-zapping protein.
Recommended serving size: 1 single-serve bag of Wheat Thins and 1 string cheese

"Fresh fruit is always a great choice," says McLachlan. And when you combine it with dairy, you have a filling mini-meal. Look for a bottled yogurt smoothie with about 100 calories. "Check the label and avoid smoothies with fructose or high fructose corn syrup listed as one of the first ingredients," says McLachlan. This type of refined sugar will cause your blood sugar to peak, then crash -- making you hungry again before too long.
Recommended serving size: 1 bottled low-fat smoothie and one banana
Calories: about 170

Sure, it may take you back to grade school, but a simple apple and carton of skim milk from the convenience store make for a top-notch snack. "Apples fill you up with fiber, and skim milk is a great addition to any snack for its calcium, riboflavin, and vitamin D," says McLachlan.
Recommended serving size: 1 medium apple and 1 8-ounce carton of skim milk
Calories: 170

"Usually when we're on the go, we're also stressed out," says McLachlan. "And many of us want comfort food when we're stressed." That why McLachlan suggests chocolate-covered pretzels for those days when you're in a comfort-food mood. Chocolate-covered pretzels are not nutrient-dense, so they're not a good choice for a daily or even weekly emergency snack. But they do offer enough calories with little enough fat to fill you up and give you a feel-good food fix once in a while.
Recommended serving size: 1 single-serve bag of chocolate-covered pretzels
Calories: 130

If you're looking for a more substantial snack, try hitting the bagel shop for a whole-grain bagel. Packed with fiber, it'll fill your tummy for several hours (stick to one half); smear on some reduced-fat cream cheese, and the little bit of fat will give this snack even more staying power.
Recommended serving size: Half a bagel and 1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese
Calories: 200

Letters to the Editor
The Editor:
I am just so tired of these litigation happy Democrats that use their best friend, the courts, to reverse what people have decided through elections. How many times does a Republican have to win an election to be awarded the office? Apparently in Washington it is three times!
Give me a break! Is it any wonder that after the Democrats pay over $700,000 that somehow they are ahead by 10 votes? Hmm. That's strange, money paid, and surprise – there are just enough votes to give the Democrat the victory. How much longer do we want liberals to ruin the economy of Washington state? Do we think that Boeing is going to come back? Why don't we just let the Sierra Club run the state?
There is a reason that many Washingtonians have moved away and are not coming back any time soon – there are no jobs, too high of taxes, and an erosion of family values from state and federal lawmakers. We can't even say Merry Christmas anymore. Why can't we let someone else have a try and see what we can do in Washington? Gary Locke and others haven't been able to do the job, so let's let Rossi have a try.

On December 17 the Blaine basketball team played Port Townsend in Seattle at the Key Arena, the home court of the Seattle Sonics. I'm happy that Blaine won but very unhappy that one of their star players, a native of Blaine, could not find the time to come to the game and visit with the kids. I believe it fair to say that the kids were also unhappy that one of their own that made it big did not even show up to watch the game and show support.
I thought it important to write and let someone know what a disappointment it was that Luke did not come to the game and meet the kids. I know it was a big disappointment for all that one of their own could not find the time to say hi. I hope this is not a sign that he has forgotten his roots and the years of support that was shown him by many in Blaine and the county.
If professional teams like the Sonics are sincere about giving back to the communities that support them, then Luke and the Sonics organization have surely missed a very big opportunity. The small amount of time spent by this player and his teammates could have paid off in big dividends not only for Luke but for the team as well.
Maybe if in the future Blaine high school plays basketball at Key Arena someone from the team will find the time to show up.

Our family would like to express a heartfelt thank you to our extended family and the entire community for all the prayers and kind thoughts so many of you have offered for Melissa. Thank you for the visits, cards, and gifts. Our prayers were answered when Melissa was able to come home from the hospital a week before Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas; our hope is that each of you did as well.
Steve, Kristi, Andy, Bryan, and Melissa Galbraith
The Editor:
I don't know if I read the letter from Joyce Crane in the December 9 – 15 edition of The Northern Light right or not – but is she saying she broke the law in Canada on a couple of occasions and White Rock police watched and turned a blind eye? How nice, now I know why Canadians drive the way they do when they are down here.
Now Ms. Crane wants Blaine police to turn their heads when they see a Canadian break our laws. Heavens, their heads would be turned constantly. She wants Blaine to give up our safety for a few loonies and toonies, how ridiculous, as if Blaine isn't bad enough to drive in. Before all of you write in and tell me how wrong I am, get out and see for yourself. Watch at any stop sign in Blaine – count how many cars actually stop, then look at the license plate. While you are at it, watch and see how many do the speed limit on city streets. For those who can't read – it's 25 miles per hour.
And you want Blaine police to turn their heads for these idiots? Give your head a shake.

On behalf of the Blaine Chamber of Commerce's Community Giving Tree Project and Stafholt Good Samaritan Center, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the many individuals, families, businesses and churches who participated in this year's project. Your generosity enabled us to bring Christmas to 160 families, representing 480 children in the Blaine, Birch Bay, Point Roberts and Custer areas.
This year, the number applying for assistance through the Giving Tree was greater than ever. The community in turn, responded to this need wholeheartedly, donating gifts of toys, clothing, time and money. Without this support, the project would cease to exist.
While we would like to mention each and every person who contributed, the list is simply too long to publish. We should, however, all be proud to be part of a community whose members give so generously. The true spirit of Christmas is certainly still alive and well in Blaine.
Kari Johnson-Dick, Debbie Graff & Laurie Hart, Giving tree coordinators
The Editor:
On behalf of North Whatcom Fire and Rescue, I would like to send out a special thank you to the citizens who assisted the victims of the motor vehicle accident that occurred on Birch Bay Drive the morning of January 1.
Unfortunately, I was unable to thank you at the time, but we greatly appreciate the assistance you provided to those involved in the accident as well as to the first responders upon arrival. It is nice to know we live in a community where people are not afraid to help someone in need.

I tell men who may sleep in my bed that they will sleep on the right side of the bed. I tell them in advance so that there is no confusion. I send pictures to them, if they've never seen my room before, of the view from the right side of the bed, and I send pictures of the view of the left side of the bed, and the view from my side is no better than the view from the other side, but the lamp is on my side and the side table with the half dozen books I'm reading is on my side, and the window I normally leave open is on my side, and I've always slept on the left side, and it's my bed, so take the left side or enjoy one of the couches.
And tonight, it's take the right side AND, bonus, get your choice of matchbox cars and dinosaurs with which to play before lights out. I'll probably leave the toys there. The right side is no slated for use tonight. Plus, I've always had a thing for the triceratops.

Game ads assault the eyes
If you aren't a gamer and happen to stumble upon the LA Convention Center this week, you'd be assaulted by dozens of banners and posters for games that publishers want you to know about. Do the posters really say anything or give any information? We walked around the outside of the convention center and through the various hallways to see what games were given prominence:
Assassin's Creed 2: As mentioned in a previous blog post, Ubisoft's sequel takes the prize for largest banner. With outstreched arms and blades in each, the poster hangs ominously between South and West halls outside. No words, no description, but it looks nice and was granted its own zip code.
Darksiders: This game from THQ had two ads near the inside entrance to West Hall. One was lighted and small, while the other huge banner hung near the ceiling, about 10 yards away. "Hunted by Heaven, Hated by Hell, Driven by Vengeance" are the only words on the posters. Could be an interesting game about a fantasy divorce gone awry.
Red Faction Guerrilla:
THQ's new shooter is scheduled for release tomorrow. In two posters cradling the escalators leading to the second floor of West Hall, the game is trumpted as AVAILABLE NOW on one banner. The other shows a guy with a hammer and shouts BREAK FREE. You'll need to play the game to find out who's oppressed.
WET and Rogue Warrior: Bethesda owns all the doors with square posters for each of its new games alternating on every entry and exits door at South and West halls. Neither says anything but the game title, with WET showing a sexy woman, gun in hand, looking to lure you to the best sex you've ever had or a violent death. Rogue Warrior has a rogue with a dagger. Hmmm, original.
Mafia II: Dwarfed by the Assassin's Creed 2 poster to it's right, this 2K game banner shows a guy in a suit, lying in a coffin. Again, no words. Maybe the guy was killed by Ubisoft's assassin.
Brutal Legend: This EA huge banner hangs outside atop South Hall, with what looks like a digital Jack Black rocking out as if reliving his School of Rock role. Of course, Black is a musician, so it isn't far fetched, but again, no words other than a game title.
Crime Craft: The new MMO from Vogster is filled with blood a bullet holes. The only words tout Vogster's booth number. Will this be an offer you can't refuse?
Splinter Cell Conviction: This Ubisoft title gets the award for the most varied placements of the show. Banners of various sizes and shapes could be found inside near South Hall, near West Hall, and outside in lighted displays along the roadway. Different images adorn them, but no explanation.
Tekken 6: Namco-Bandai offered a couple interesting posters created to look like a fight card. Kazuya Mishima vs. Paul Phoenix. THIS IS YOUR FIGHT, the poster says, and its coming in Fall 2009. Start scanning Pay per View.
Need for Speed: Shift: This set of posters lining the windows of Concourse Hall definitely gets the award for the most involved. There are 20 posters in all, divided into sets of four. Each set asks a various question: What Driver Will You Be? Are You Feared? Are You Respected? Each poster in the set then attempts to answer the question with play styles: Shift Arenaline, Shift Intimidate, Shift Attack, Shift Control. And each poster shows race cars in various stages of conflict. Aside from the words sounding like hotkeys for a PC racing game, the campaign at least tries to say something, and once you come to the end of the posters, you find a kiosk showing off the game. A lot of build up, but in the end you get to see what its about.
Sony: The company had a set of three posters with a tatooed arm holding a PS3 controller and a PSP. On the PSP was Sack Boy. LittleBigPlanet is coming to PSP. Subtle, but effective. But the biggest question? Who gets their arm tattoed with the PS3 control scheme of X, circle, square and diamond?
EA/BioWare: Both Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins had posters outside South Hall. The Mass Effect 2 posters showed Commander Shepherd running with gun in hand. The Dragon Age posters were a bit more nebulous: A dragon, with a cowled woman inset in its wing. No words, just images.
Battlefield 1943: This EA game had several posters around oustide the convention center and inside. They bellowed that THE FIGHT FOR THE PACIFIC BEGINS THIS SUMMER. They teased you to a contest booth where you could sit down and play against member of the Battlefield 1943 dev team. If you beat them in an aerial dogfight, you are entered to win one of 100 copies of the game to be given out each hour, and possibly win an Xbox 360 console. Another good campaign that backs up what the game is about.
Modern Warfare 2: This Activision game had three posters on display hanging from the ceiling as you walked down Concourse Hall. All showed men in military garb. The first poster had an M, the second a W and the third a 2. Hmmm, MW2, clever. The last poster had the numbers 11-10-9. A countdown? No, a release date, coming Nov. 10.
Free Realms: This Sony Online Entertainment game had a poster outside South Hall. A cartoony looking game, buit what catches the onlookers eye is the promise of a live concert by The Dares at the SOE booth tomorrow. Draw them in, then show the game. Good strategy.
Final Fantasy XIII: A huge indoor banner showing the now familiar FF characters poised for battle. Square-Enix says nothing otn the poster other than Coming 2010. For Final Fantasy fans, that may be enough.
There were a few non-game posters, some touting game publications, but perhaps the most interesting was a poster for 5-hour Energy Drink. It's hook? Game on, and on, and on, and on ...
In the end, if your know about these games, then the posters may interest you, but if you don't, in most cases, you are out of luck. Most of the banners and posters say nothing except to let you know the game will be at the show. But many aren't even enough to build interest, unless you were interested in the game to begin with. It's usually just an egregious assault on the senses with little information to impart. Kudos to those that tried to make them interesting. To the rest, try harder next year.

The garage is dead — long live the garage?
The desire for urban living means that more homes are being built without garages — and more are being built with bigger garages.
Is America's love affair with the garage over?
We're not ready to give back the ring yet, but new census data shows that the number of new single-family homes constructed without garages has risen from 8% in 2005 to 13% in 2011.
Living in an urban Florida neighborhood, where most people's garages were turned into efficiency apartments or additional bedrooms decades ago, we might have missed this trend. We already know where you put the band if you don't have a garage: in the living room, because you don't have a basement, either.
Post continues below
Then again, those of us in Florida are pretty sure we won't have to shovel snow off our car windshields any morning this winter, which we see as one of the main advantages of a garage in snowy climates.
According to a report in USA Today, the decline of the garage is probably attributable to the growing popularity of urban infill homes, many built on small lots with no room for garages — such as the older, urban South Florida neighborhoods where we have been living for decades without ever having a garage for a car.
The new urban homeowners also favor front porches, where they can talk with their neighbors, as well as smaller homes. The percentage of new homes with porches (front or back) has increased from 42% in 1992 to 64% in 2011, according to census data.
"The front porch acts as a social mechanism," said Christopher Leinberger, a Philadelphia-area developer who is president of Smart Growth America's LOCUS, which promotes walking over driving, in USA Today. "You sit on the porch and talk to people walking by without having to invite them in. It's outdoor space without taking up too much space."
In 1971, when the Census Bureau started compiling data on parking features of new homes, only 57% of homes built had garages and another 17% had carports. The carport began to decline in 1974; only 1% of homes built since 1996 have had carports.
We're pretty sure the garage is not leaving suburbia any time soon. The same report noted that 18% of the new homes built in 2011 had garages big enough for at least three cars — a number that did not appear on the report until 1992. That was down from a high of 20% of homes with three-car garage built in 2005. Another 62% of homes had two-car garages.
Would you give up your garage to live in a smaller home with a front porch in a more urban neighborhood?

Pitt Law Students Take Top Honors at Recent Moot Court Competitions
Pitt Law students returned from two recent intellectual property moot court competitions having earned national recognition for both themselves and Pitt Law. Robert Lo and Dave Coogan competed for Pitt in the Cardozo/BMI Entertainment and Communications Law Moot Court, earlier this month in New York City. Although the team did not make the final rounds, Dave Coogan was awarded with the competitions overall 2nd Place prize for oral advocacy. The Cardozo/BMI Moot Court focuses on copyright and entertainment law issues. This year's problem echo's the Kirtsang v. John Wiley case, currently before the U.S. Supreme Court in raising issues about whether copyright's "first sale" doctrine applies to goods manufactured outside of the United States, and whether the doctrine of "laches" can apply to copyright infringement claims filed within the statute of limitations set by the Copyright Act.
Competing in the Giles Sutherland Rich Memorial Moot Court Competition on Patent Law, team members Matt Bedsole and Dan Klodowski beat out over 30 other law schools to finish in 2nd place in the recent regional competition in Boston, Massachusetts and will advance to next month's national finals in Washington, DC. The Giles Sutherland Rich Moot Court is sponsored by the American Intellectual Property Lawyer's Association and focuses on patent and related issues. This year's problem involved complex substantive and procedural issues arising from a patented smartphone software applications. In advancing to the national finals, the Pitt Law Team will be one of only eight law school teams competing for a chance to appear in the final round before a panel from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
The Cardozo/BMI team was coached by Richard Rinaldo, a member of the Williams Coulson law firm here in Pittsburgh, and David Oberdick, Of Counsel to the firm of Meyer, Unkovic and Scott, LLP. The Giles Sutherland Rich team is coached by Adjunct Professor Lynn J. Alstadt, a shareholder in the firm of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, PC.

Nothing about serious illness is easy, but one of the hardest things for parents may be watching their child struggle with pain, stress, and anxiety.
Despite what we may sometimes tell ourselves, stress is not just "in our heads." The stress response — also called the flight-or-fight response — causes a rush of adrenaline and other hormones that trigger physical changes in the body: your heart races, your blood pressure rises, you breathe faster, your digestion slows, and your pupils dilate. Chronic stress takes a toll on the body as well as the mind.
The good news is that using a variety of mind-body relaxation techniques can help short-circuit the flight-or-fight response. Relaxation techniques not only can lessen a child's physical symptoms, they can also help him or her (and you!) regain a sense of control and confidence over a situation, helping everyone find moments of peace amid the chaos and isolation of illness and medical treatment.
These techniques are designed for parents and kids to practice together. Most can be done in a few minutes wherever you are, whether that's a quiet place or a crowded hospital, without any special tools.
However, it's important to note that these techniques should be used as a complement to conventional medical treatment for anxiety and pain, and not as a replacement — doing so could do a child more harm than good.
If your child is suffering from anxiety or pain, ask your doctor what can be done to help. And always check with your health care team to make sure that your child's symptoms are related to stress and not a different medical problem.
Pain and stress can leave a child breathing faster and shallower, or even holding his or her breath — all of which can actually keep the stress response going and heighten the intensity of pain. Paying attention to breathing can help calm the mind.
Try this exercise with your child:
At first, it may be difficult for you and your child to focus on breathing. Distracting thoughts are normal — but rather than following a thought and letting it consume you, try to let it drift out of your mind, like a balloon.
This technique asks a person to focus on breathing and quiet the mind to create a sense of calmness and well-being. And by repeating a word, phrase, or prayer during the exercise, the mind is able to stay focused more easily. When practicing this, it's normal for thoughts to pop into the mind. Tell your child to disregard them and just focus on the word or phrase he or she is repeating.
Resembling an Eastern form of meditation, this technique — called the relaxation response — was popularized and put into Western practice in the 1970s by Herbert Benson, MD. To elicit the relaxation response, follow Steps 1-4, and then:
When practicing, go at your own pace. Don't feel like you have to achieve a deep level of relaxation right away. Often, feelings of calmness and well-being are felt later on or at times of crisis.
To achieve ongoing results, try to practice the technique with your child once or twice daily, but not within 2 hours after eating, as digestion can interfere with the relaxation response. Some people find that the best time to meditate is first thing in the morning, before breakfast.
A growing body of medical research suggests that imagery also can help lessen pain and anxiety, and promote positive feelings. In fact, studies have found that people who practice guided imagery during chemotherapy feel more relaxed and positive about their chemo experience than those who don't use the technique.
Guided imagery (also called "visualization") often works best when a person starts with a few minutes of focused breathing. Here's how it works: With eyes closed, imagine a safe place or a location you once visited that brought a feeling of contentment and joy. Hold on to the image of that place for a while, trying to picture all the sights and sounds:
Getting as descriptive as possible about this safe place will help you and your child get "into" the moment and feel relaxed.
Some children find this exercise more helpful when they are "guided" by a parent, another live instructor, or with a guided imagery CD or DVD.
As with meditation, distracting thoughts will float into the mind as you practice guided imagery. Acknowledge these thoughts, and then let them drift away while you move your attention back to the images in your mind and sounds you hear.
Just as pleasant images can calm the mind and soothe the body, so can music. Kids who undergo music therapy — the research-based use of music to lift moods and promote mental and physical well-being — have been found to have lowered heart rates and blood pressure, and improved anxiety.
Many hospitals provide a licensed, trained music therapist who can work individually with kids to develop a customized treatment plan that engages them in:
To participate in music therapy, your child doesn't need to read music or have any special musical talents. And the best part is that you can practice music therapy at home. By choosing music that both you and your child enjoy — and setting aside time to listen, dance, sing, or experiment with an instrument together — you, too, can teach your child the joys of music.
Energy therapy is based on the theory of bioelectromagnetics, the belief that the electrical currents in all living organisms produce magnetic energy fields that extend beyond the body. Proponents of this therapy believe that gentle, light touch or above-the-body hand movements can redirect energy to places where it's needed in an effort to bring energy into "balance" or harmony.
While the principles of energy therapy have not been scientifically proven, practitioners say it promotes healing and helps kids feel more relaxed, less anxious, and less bothered by pain.
Many different types of energy therapy are practiced all over the world, including therapeutic touch, healing touch, Reiki and Johrei (from Japan), and Qi gong (from China).
In the United States, some hospitals offer therapeutic or healing touch as a complement to standard treatments for anxiety, pain, or other medical problems.
And some nurses, doctors, or other health care providers are certified in healing touch techniques. They may be able to offer this service to your child, or teach you how to practice healing touch at home.
If you like to take a more hands-on approach to soothing and comforting your child, you might prefer massage. The benefits of massage are well known, offering muscle relaxation and increased blood flow and oxygen to body parts to help alleviate stress and ease pain.
But some types of massage are not recommended for certain types of conditions, so check with your doctor first before massaging your child or taking your child to a massage therapist.
The most common forms of massage used in complementary medicine include:
Many hospitals have massage therapists on hand to offer massages to both patients and their family members, so find out if massage therapy is offered at your hospital.
These are just a few of the many methods designed to help patients and families cope with pain and anxiety. Many people find that yoga, stretching, or light, gentle exercise also helps to quiet the mind and soothe the body.
To learn more about relaxation techniques, talk to your child's health care team.

I don't think any American in their right mind would deny either the economic or environmental benefits of owning an eco-friendly car. From day one, you consume less gasoline, which means you don't have to spend as much moolah at the pump, and you don't emit as many pollutants into the beautiful air. Seems like a real win-win situation, if it wasn't for one remaining factor: eco-friendly cars, with only a handful of extremely over-priced exceptions, look like deformed weiners.
Even if you have absolutely nothing wrong with weiners, or even deformed weiners for that matter, you probably still don't want to drive around in anything that even vaguely resembles the male genitalia. Granted, Americans are often too pre-occupied with superficial things, like clothing and accessories. We believe these superficial things reflect upon ourselves: unattractive people wear unattractive clothes, for example. I admit that this sort of thinking is usually completely ridiculous, but not always when you drive around in a phallic-shaped vehicle, I'm sorry to break the news, you kinda look like a dick.
I am by no means a scientist, but I don't understand why car manufacturers are so insistent on making eco-friendly cars that are so abnormally weird and ugly-looking. Sure, you can spend an arm and a leg to get an eco-friendly car that doesn't look like a weiner, or you could purchase a regular car with moderate eco-friendly upgrades, but should these really be the alternatives? Can't we have cars that are good for the environment and good for picking up chicks and/or dudes? Hell, I'd settle for an eco-friendly car that was good for picking up ugly chicks and/or dudes. Do you really need to drive a Hummer just to get one?
A lot of government money is currently going into alternative energy, and new eco-friendly car models are coming out all the time. I just hope that some of these models look a little bit less like the male genitalia, and a little more like
well, like anything else. Sure, America wants to save the environment, but what's the point if we're all going to look like dicks?

10 Ways to Eat an Egg Tonight
What are you eating for dinner tonight? How about an egg? Here are 10 of our favorite ways to eat an egg for supper.
• 1. Pizza - Eggs on breakfast pizza - it's so delicious! Tiny quail eggs cook quickly, if you want to go that route.
Get the recipe: Breakfast Pizza
• 2. Open face sandwich - We like to pile a fried or scrambled egg on fresh, homemade bread along with any leftover vegetables or scraps from the fridge.
Get the recipe: Egg, Arugula, and Herb Tartine
• 3. Baked in a dish - The easy, versatile method of baking eggs on top of whatever you have around - canned tomatoes, a little cream, some herbs - has been a brunch staple for us. Try them baked on top of leftover beans or lentils, too.
Get the recipe: Mark Bittman's Baked Eggs with Tomato (for a Weekend Brunch Crowd)
• 4. Frittata - The frittata a great make-ahead dish. Cook one up with eggs, potatoes, and vegetables, and eat off it all week.
Get the recipe: Lemon Frittata with Leeks and Goat Cheese, also: Zucchini-Potato Frittata
• 5. Stir-fried - Stir-fried egg with rice is a classic comfort food.
Get the recipe: Stir-Fried Egg and Tomato
• 6. Quiche - Quiche is more like a baked custard than the sturdier texture of a frittata. It's comforting and elegant at the same time.
Get the recipe: Confetti Quiche with Curry Crust
• 7. Eggs 'n' greens - A fried egg over garlicky greens: it doesn't get much better than that!
Get the recipe: Garlic Greens with Pine Nuts and an Egg - Also, Fried Eggs and Collard Greens Over Polenta
• 8. Slow-scrambled - Scrambled eggs should be cooked very, very slowly until they turn into a meltingly soft and custardy delicacy to be eaten on toast. Even so, they're one of the faster dinners we know how to make.
Get the recipe: Slow Scrambled Eggs with Rosemary and Capers
• 9. Over noodles - After greens, noodles and pasta are perhaps our favorite thing to dump an egg on.
Get the recipe: Sesame-Garlic Soba Noodles with Fried Egg
• 10. In a casserole - Who says that breakfast casserole is just for the morning? This delicious hash of bread, ham, and eggs is good morning and night.
Get the recipe: "Ham and Cheese" Breakfast Casserole

I need to gloat - Made my first Frittata this weekend, and another on monday. I swear to Jebus, I make a delicious frittata.
I have a dozen eggs right now. I want to try the over noodles and baked in a dish this weekend.
I don't know where the recipe is anymore, but I made a great puff pastry tart with eggs once, and I've been dying for a chance to make it again. I'm pretty sure it was just prosciutto layered onto puff pastry (maybe brushed with olive oil first?), then loaded up with asparagus. Then you crack as many eggs as you'd like into little pockets formed by the asparagus and bake it in the oven until everything looks tasty! Oh, and pepper! But not salt; the prosciutto is already salty enough.
Eggs on any pizza is great- an 'Aussie' pizza usually includes an egg cracked over the top.
my current favorite weeknight egg meal consists of an over-easy egg mixed with smoked salmon over brown rice.
Fried rice with eggs scrambled in is tasty; I also love open-faced sandwiches topped with a fried egg, and also I like a potato and bacon hash with a poached egg (breakfast for dinner really).
My favorite egg dinner is savory french toast. Beat an egg with some salt & pepper and a splash of water, throw in some rye bread to soak, and fry 'em up! The rye bread (seeded, preferably) is key. Delicious, savory, and super quick.
my favorite egg dinner is spaghetti with butter and cheese topped with eggs poached in marinara. amazing, comforting and so simple.
We love love love frittata. Fast cheap and easy, plus good way to use up stuff just hanging around your fridge.
oh, man, I made a tart with an egg on it tonight! and I was very proud of myself for sneaking it in there, because in general I absolutely detest eggs when their presence can be detected.
Two of my favorite quick dinners with eggs is pasta carbonara, and a quick miso-egg drop soup. I simply boil water, blanch in some greens if I'm feeling especially fancy, stir in some miso *after* turning off the boiling water, then stirring in an egg til the ribbons cook in. So fast, healthy and delicious.
The egg pizza looks absolutely delicious.
Amazing recipes- especially since eggs are so budget friendly!!
another way, but really close to number 9: boil some pasta (i prefer spaghetti but anything does it), then place it in a frying pan with some olive oil, chopped coriander and garlic (minced or powder), stir it well. poach and egg. place spaghetti in a plate, add the egg and some fresh chopped coriander! it's wonderful!
These all sound and look yummy! Think I'll make eggs in some form for supper tonight.
I had to come back and comment on this. I put a fried egg on top of my reheated pasta/peas last night for dinner and it was delicious. Adding an egg to leftovers is awesome, cheap and versatile.
i have never tried an egg in a dinner dish - i usually just eat them fried with a piece of toast and some bacon lol
I have never made Frittata. What is your recipe?

Lampposts across Tel Aviv have been flying rainbow flags for the past week in
preparation for Friday's 13th annual gay pride parade.The parade, to be
attended by thousands revelers from the Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender
(GLBT) community and their straight friends, will start at Gan Meir Park on King
George Street and wind its way through the city to Gordon Beach.RELATED:Mother of slain gay counselor to tackle homophobiaPolice
spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said police are not taking any wider than usual
security preparations for this year's parade but, like every year, they will
deploy a strong police presence along the seafront with several thousand
officers from the special patrol units and the border patrol.Rosenfeld
said that police felt that an incident last week in which a smoke grenade was
thrown at a left-wing rally in Tel Aviv was an unrelated political incident and
has not encouraged police to increase their presence for this year's
parade.Though it has long been an accepted and welcome celebration in
Tel Aviv, the pride parade in Jerusalem has been a matter of fierce, often
violent contention, with GLBT activists and supporters pitted against religious

So I started painting this, because of said feels and got carried away and hours and hours later, voila.

So this what my mind came up with :)
