Did you ever wonder why watching Arrested Development sometimes makes you want to buy a truck? Here's why.
Sure, we could show you a boring video of one of Will Arnett's many GMC commercials ("It's not more than you need, just more than you're used to"), but it's a lot more fun to watch him talk about it on Conan. Arnett claims to rely on a rigorous diet of coffee and cigarettes to maintain his distinctive voice—so let that be a lesson to you, kids: Smoking cigarettes will make you rich and famous!
Mark-Paul Gosselaar for Turbo Tax
Kevin Connolly for Best Buy
To the untrained ear, the new voice of the Best Buy commercials might sound a lot like Samwise Gamgee (aka, Sean Astin from Lord of the Rings), but it's actually a different hobbit—Kevin Connolly, of Entourage (and no other) fame.
John Goodman for Dunkin Donuts
John Goodman has been reminding us all for a few years now that "America Runs on Dunkin"—which is great, although it might also be in the best interests of Americans and John Goodman to try running, in general.
David Duchovny for Pedigree
Sure, David Duchovny voicing a Pedigree commercial may seem random—until you realize that Pedigree is actually a highly secretive underground sex club.

Five Star Stay!
Dan & Sheyla, When it comes to first impressions, your cabin really nailed it! We found everything very comfortable and after a week in Nashville it was nice to finally get a good nights sleep on a real bed. Real log cabins are something else and you have a nice one. The weather was not the best on our visit, our first day it rained the half of the day but that was ok as Ellen had to visit the health clinic in town for an eye allergy. A big thanks to the girl at the bait shop for directions to a clinic! Thursday evening found rain cancelling a camp fire, sure glad the hot tub is under roof! Friday was forecast to be 80% chance of rain and was the sunniest day of all. The driveway was in good shape and we had no problem navigating in the mini van. Thank you! for sharing your cabin with us and our Abby dog, Jim & Ellen To add review to this note to the owner, We have stayed at many cabins since we explore different places. This Cabin was very clean upon our arrival and we found no bugs during our stay. It is a quiet secluded location, no need to lock your car. There is internet, satellite TV, hot shower, laundry and the water is good to drink with no shortage, hard to find all this in a secluded location! Supplies are not that far away if you forget something and there is a good variety at the cabin. The covered porch and split rail fence adds to the mountain experience. The owners called the cabin phone on our arrival day to check to see if we made it in and if there was anything we needed, nice folks! Owners are also well established in the area and are eager provide support. Great mountain view from the rocking chair, Can't wait to go back!
Absolutely clean,private & well stocked
This is by far the best cabin we have ever stayed in western nc. It's obvious that Debbie & Dave care very deeply for their guests. There is so much to do in the area and coming home after all the journeys was so peaceful and relaxing in this beautiful cabin.our search for the best cabin is officially over thanks to you guys!!!

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — Several El Pasoans who were in Boston during Monday's explosions are now starting to come home. On Monday, Newschannel 9 spoke with Jim Weddell a local runner who competed in the marathon. He was just two blocks away when the explosions happened. He says a few local runners and spectators were expected to arrive home late Tuesday night. Others will return Wednesday and Thursday.
Fifteen El Pasoans, four Fort Bliss soldiers, and two Las Cruces residents competed in the marathon. Dozens of family members and friends also traveled with them to Boston. We have not received reports of any Borderland residents being injured in the blasts.

The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood
Members' price *
A compelling investigation of one of the most famous myths in the world - and how the re-discovery of an ancient tablet challenges our view of ancient history in a new and exciting way.
British Museum expert Dr Irving Finkel reveals how decoding the symbols on a 4,000 year old piece of clay enable a radical new interpretation of the Noah's Ark myth.
A world authority on the period, Dr Finkel's story began with a remarkable event at the British Museum - the arrival one day in 2008 of a single, modest-sized Babylonian cuneiform tablet - the palm-sized clay rectangles on which our ancestors created the first documents.
It had been brought in by a member of the public and this particular tablet proved to be of extraordinary importance. Not only does it date from about 1850 BC but it is a copy of the Babylonian Story of the Flood - a myth from ancient Mesopotamia revealing, among other things instructions, for building a large boat to survive a flood.
Through another series of pioneering discoveries, Dr. Finkel has been able to decode the story of the Flood in ways which offer unanticipated revelations to readers of The Ark Before Noah.
About the author
Dr Irving Finkel is Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian (i.e. Sumerian, Babylonian and Assyrian) script, languages and cultures Department: Middle East at the British Museum. He is the curator in charge of cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia, of which the Middle East Department has the largest collection - some 130,000 pieces - of any modern museum.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The quality of the paper and printing was superb. If you are looking for a traditional and elegant invitation suite, this is definitely it. We added additional text to the response card with no issue and received our promptly. Can't say enough good things about these!"
"I just reccieved my invitations in the mail today and I could not be happier with how they turned out! I love love love them! Brides, look no further. Wedding Paper Divas is the answer!"
"I loved this card even more in person, the paper, the texture and it just has a great balance. We are going with this one in black."
"This invitation was perfect for our wedding. It had the simple yet beautiful, casual yet elegant look. I received so many compliments on it and was so pleased with the product myself. The staff was SO helpful. In my haste and excitement in ordering the invitation, I actually forgot to write down the DATE of the wedding! (I know right?) They called me and asked if that was intentional or a mistake. WHAT A CATCH ON THEIR END! I would really suggest this for anyone who thinks they can fall in love with it like I did."
"I ordered this invitation, inner and outer envelope, and response card with black print and absolutely loved it. The paper is thick and the thermography printing gives it a more formal feel. The printing on the swirls have some texture to them -- they almost shimmer. It's a detail that made me fall in love with this invitation that you can't see on the computer screen. I liked that the response cards mimic the design on the invitation."

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: The End of an Eraby Nosy Neighbor at . Comments
On Sunday, The Real Housewives of Atlanta decided there's just "No Excuse for Excuses" and one housewife walks out the door. Who's had enough and who will be headed to Anguilla?
We break it all down in THG's +/- recap!
Kenya and Walter head out on a double date with Phaedra and Apollo and things look pretty cozy. Perhaps a little too cozy for Phaedra's comfort as Kenya bats her eyes across the table at Apollo. Minus 10.
Was it all just about producing a workout video? Perhaps Kenya's just the flirty type.
Phaedra can't stop admiring Kenya's breasts. Minus 8 because it's a little weird that she mentions them multiple times. Of course the former Miss USA certainly likes to keep them on display.
Double dates seem to be going around as NeNe and Gregg head over to Cynthia and Peter's. Peter shares his big secret with NeNe. He wants to renew his vows with Cynthia on the beach at Anguilla.
Plus 20. It really is a lovely thought considering all of the drama that took place at their first wedding. But with the crew they've got joining them on this trip, I'm not sure this wedding will be any less stressful.
Cynthia's still ticked off at Phaedra, until Ms. Parks shows up with a huge bouquet and a sincere apology. Cynthia says she'll forgive but she won't forget. Minus 12. If they're truly friends I think she needs to let that one go.
We all got to take a trip to Porsha's OB-GYN and what a relief we didn't miss that. Oye. Minus 15.
Porsha and Kordell are given the green light to start trying to make a baby again next month but all Porsha wants to talk about is how to increase her chances to have twins. Minus 9.
Thank goodness her doctor has the sense to remind her that after her miscarriage she should be concentrating on having one happy, healthy baby. Plus 12.
Of course it wouldn't surprise me if Porsha goes home and stuffs herself full of yams anyway. And on a side note, what is up with those earrings. Small dogs could jump through those hoops!
The annual girls trip has suddenly become a couples trip and everyone gathers for brunch to discuss the particulars.
Here I was thinking that Kandi inviting Kenya along would fill this meal with drama. Who knew I could be so wrong?
Now there's two sides to this argument and I see both. In Kim's defense, she is pregnant for the second time in a year and she looks like she's about to give birth sometime in the near future.
Minus 10. Expecting her to hop on a plane to head to some island to party is just unrealistic. If these ladies were gracious they'd just let her out of it. Goodness knows I wouldn't want to risk having a baby on some small island.
On the other side of the aisle, Kim did give them dates and everyone else seemingly jumped through hoops to accommodate her. Plus 8. So I do understand why they're ticked off. Still it doesn't seem worth all of the drama.
Kim's life has definitely changed. She's got two teenaged daughters, an infant, another on the way and a new husband not to mention she just had to move. That's a lot for anyone. So when the ladies started to pile on, Kim had had enough.
Kim walked out and I don't believe it was just brunch she was ditching. This may be the last we see of Kim.
Minus 25 because surprisingly, I think I'm going to miss her, blonde wigs and al.
Kandi the girl in the back and the4 girl who is being looked at like she is crazy and you just want to just tell to Shut UP! is kim still pregnant. no i dont think so she had the baby months ago. if your not. im sorry hun. but idk know if its baby fat or your pregant again.
Oh where do I begin good riddens to kim now kenya would would sleep with both apollo and pheadra if she could. And can somebody please do something with her skin its awful she is by noway beautiful
Porsha is really hilarious, even if unintentionally, she adds a lot of comedic relief! It would be interesting to see what her kids would be like. Hopefully Kenya is just the flirtatious type and not trying to start trouble with Phaedra. I couldn't believe Kim's behavior on the show. I get that she is pregnant and things can change but she should have just opted out of going in the first place, instead of making everyone plan around her and changing last minute. This added the perfect amount of drama on this episode though. This show gave me and my DISH coworker plenty to talk about so I'm glad I watched. I recorded it on my DISH Hopper, which saved me a lot of time because I was able to watch this recording on multiple TV's when I played it back. I can't wait to see what happens with Kim and this show.
I am glad she is gone too! I stopped liking her a long time ago when she said Lisa was as fake as a $3 bill. She has some room to talk... fake boobs, fake nails, fake hair and borrowing someone else's husband. Talk about fake. I thought marrying Kroy would humble her, but she has gotten more obnoxious! Why does she have to have a ton of half naked blown up photos of herself all over the house? Wish Bravo would let her go completely. Don't care for a spin off either!
Unfortunately the world will not be given a reprieve from Kim as Bravo has given her a spinoff. We can only hope no one will watch it so that this white trash hooka goes away for good.
On last week's episode I could not believe the language that Kim was using in front of her children. And this from a woman that currently has an open legal case with her parents over visitation rights with their grandchildren. Kim is the worst example for her children. Let us hope that they do get time with their grandparents and a chance for some real parenting.
I'm thrilled she's gone. She is so crude and foul mouthed. She can't complete a sentence w/o saying f***. Great example for her daughters. She lives for the attn though. She'll be back when it suits her. Until then.. Ding dong the witch is dead!!! Yippee!

Bamboo fabric is made from Moso bamboo, a different type of bamboo than that which giant pandas eat. Our diaper body and our extra absorbent snap in liner both contain 3 layers of bamboo fleece each.
Benefits to Baby
Naturally soft- 100% natural unbleached Bamboo Fleece offers strength, versatility, luxurious softness with a natural sheen like silk or cashmere.
Allergy reduced- Bamboo's organic and naturally smooth fiber properties make it hypoallergenic and durable.
Slimmer Diaper -Bamboo is highly absorbent, able to take up to three times its weight in water. This translates to an excellent wicking ability that pulls moisture away from the skin. Drier skin lessens the likelihood of diaper rash.
Thermal regulating- Bamboo's fibers are breathable and expand when warm to let skin breathe, and contract when cool to trap heat close to the body. Keeping your baby's body temperature regulated lessens the likelihood of diaper rash.
Benefits to Mother Earth
The most enticing aspect of bamboo fabric is that it is the most eco-friendly fabric on the planet. Bamboo sequesters up to 60 tons per hectare of CO2 exceeding the 1-2 tons per hectare for cotton with a one-time planting for bamboo and no fertilizers or pesticide required.
Bamboo, a tropical grass, has an extensive rooting system. New shoots are continuously growing, ready to replace the harvested grass. Because of its rapid growth and root structure, bamboo can, in a very short time, reclaim land destroyed by overgrazing, over-building and clean the soil of toxins. Bamboo is not uprooted during harvesting thus preventing soil erosion. The complex root system of bamboo creates an effective watershed, stitching the soil together along fragile high erosion areas such as riverbanks, areas subject to mud slides and soil that has suffered significant soil degradation and deforestation creating the ability as well to greatly reduce rain run-off.
Bamboo requires very little water. It can survive drought conditions as well as flooding while cotton which is a thirsty crop can take up to 20,000 liters of water to produce 1 kg of cotton. 73% of the global cotton harvest comes from irrigated land.
Bamboo provides an abundance of 35% more usable oxygen than an equivalent stands of trees making it a crucial element in the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet, making it a high yield renewable resource. It can be selectively harvested annually and is capable of complete regeneration without the need to replant, irrigate, fertilize or treat with pesticide. It is a softer yet stronger fiber over cotton. It consumes more co2 and produces more oxygen than cotton. Choose Bamboo!
- Cleans the air. Bamboo gives us clean air to breathe, consumes carbon dioxide and, because bamboo forests are so dense, returns 30% more oxygen to the atmosphere than trees. Some bamboo sequester up to 12 tons of carbon dioxide from the air per hectare.
- Requires less energy, water to grow. It takes much less energy to grow and sustain bamboo than other similar trees and plants used for fiber production. Bamboo plantations require very little maintenance. Bamboo also requires very little water and can survive drought conditions as well as flooding.
- Reclaims land. Because of its rapid growth and root structure, bamboo can, in a very short time, reclaim land destroyed by overgrazing and over-building and clean the soil of toxins.
- Can be grown without pesticides. Bamboo can be grown without pesticides or chemicals because of it's own anti-bacterial agent.
- Can be harvested sustainably. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet, making it a high yield renewable resource. It can be selectively harvested annually and is capable of complete regeneration without need to replant.
- 100% biodegradable. Unlike synthetic fibers which incorporate petroleum additives, bamboo clothing is safe for municipal disposal programs, whether by landfill or incineration.

Bottom Line:
I love the geometry. Even though it's a much taller bike than my Pivot you feel like your sitting within the bike and not on top of it.
When you stand up to hammer you can feel the bike lurching forward. There's no wasted energy on this bike.

Date Reviewed: June 7, 2009
Strengths: Extremely lightweight; extremely well-designed and engineered; beautiful component spec; looks great; limitlessly fast; very responsive.
Weaknesses: Few, indeed. About the only improvement I would make would be to design the frame and spec the bike toward an 80 mm XC/race fork, instead of the 100 fork the bike came with: on a bike of this nature, 80 mm will handle everything the frame is designed for, and will save weight and lower the center of gravity vs. 100 mm.
Bottom Line:
That said, this is a truly remarkable bicycle. I did a tremendous amount of research and riding before I bought his bike, even going so far as to speak at length on the phone with the product manager of carbon hardtails at Bianchi, Specialized, Giant, and Orbea. Orbea has done a truly amazing job of blending comfort/compliance and stiffness/rigidity on this bike. If you look at the carbon layup, you can see that Orbea paid a great deal of attention to the details of fiber direction on the frame.
In terms of the ride, this is an undiluted race/cross-country bike. It loves to go really fast and be pushed hard. It's actually a little awkward at low speeds, but totally revels in climbing fast and drawing fast lines on technical descents. I don't race, but I'm really into big, solo epic days in the backcountry, covering lots of ground quickly. For this purpose, it is my opinion that nothing beats a lightweight, crabon hardtail. Between the compliance of the tubeless Crossmax SLs and the give of the superbly designed carbon rear triangle, this is a very comfortable, very responsive bike that is supremely suited to big adventures.
Clearly, this bike is not for everyone- if you think that the shuttle is a viable means to the top, this is not your bike. If you feel that climbing is located in the seventh circle of hell, this is not your bike. If, however, your goal is to cover heaps of ground quickly, be able to throw your bike over your shoulder (or over a fence) easily, climb without having (or being able to) make excuses for the weight of your bike, and slide through technical single track with superlative ease, I would strongly suggest taking a hard look at the Alma.

Duration Product Used: 1 Year
Price Paid: $3500.00
Purchased At: Art's Cyclles, San L
Similar Products Used: Numerous high-end hardtails and FS bikes.
Bike Setup: My bike came specc'd with EC90 bars, a carbon XTR shadow rear derailleur, full XTR drive train, a sweet Selle Italia saddle, Mavic CrossMax SL wheels, and a Ritchey WCS stem. With the exception of the stem, which cracked due to a design flaw (I use a torque wrench, and the carbon bars were undamaged, even as the stem broke), everything has worked perfectly.
Date Reviewed: May 2, 2009
Strengths: Light! 1270g for a large frame. 21.2 lbs for the full bike. Stiff bottom bracket. Instant-acceleration. Snappy handing. Visible carbon weave under clear coat is eye-catching. Geometry feels both racy and stable into the corners. Frame has some vibration dissipation qualities that are nicely executed.
Weaknesses: The future durability of the brake caliper mount and dropout cluster on the rear triangle concern me. The downtube carbon seems quite thin as well. However, Orbea offers a lifetime warranty on this frame.
Bottom Line:
What I love about this bike is how comfortable it feels in the cockpit. It inspires confidence on and off road. For instance, like a good carbon bike, road and trail vibration dissipates. Further, when off-road it offers a bit of give to soften the ride somewhat over roots and rocks.
It gives up nothing in the bottom bracket, which is as stiff as anything I've found. All my energy is channeled into the rear wheel and the surge in acceleration is unlike anything I've found with aluminum (hardtail or fuly-suspended). Leaned over, it feels completely solid and trustworthy.
I was worried that the steep headtube and racer SID fork would make the bike nervous, but the opposite is the case. This machine carves through corners and between trees in a surgical fashion that is breathtaking. Climbing off-road is almost an experience of being pulled by a tow rope compared to full suspension.
The future durability of the bike concerns me somewhat, but Orbea is good at honoring their lifetime warranty, and I don't intend to crash it in rocks. Some reviews say that the bonded and riveted dropout and caliper mount cluster stays intact, and others say it separates from the frame. Provided it remains sound, the four point rear triangle is a nice concept that seems to enhance this bike's ride characteristics well. One note is that the carbon acts as a soundboard for the shifters and derailleurs. Shifts are loud!
So far, the Alma is a great bike and more than worth the price paid for the frame and components. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be fast.

Date Reviewed: April 15, 2009
Strengths: weight, climbing ability
Weaknesses: Stifiness, build quality, strengh and reliability...
Bottom Line:
But after a few months of abuse at technical trails, few races, and all that.. Its stifiness disappeared completelly, the carbon protection laminade started to peal at the botton bracket area and I could feel the frame has weakened at the rear triangle "VERY MUCH"!
The little aluminum piece that holds the caliper at the rear triangle is not strong, its a sh*t really! A very annoying noise started from the back of the bike! nhecnhecnhec It didnt feel like a "world class championship bike" at all...
I basically rode it at the same spots I rode my Aluminium Hardtail bike for 3 years! I am not a heavy rider, I am 75kg. This bike should be able to take much much more!
I think ORBEA changes Absalon's frame every 2 or 3 months (I am serious!) This is one bike that can definatelly not take the abuse!
Buy it if you want to try riding an eggshell! Or if you re pro and/or rich enough to have a "XC Competition only!" bike lying around...

Strengths: light, good looking, fast, rear triangle design
Weaknesses: prone to wear and chipping, cracks
Bottom Line:
BUT, the seat tube, seat stay cluster was built too light, and is prone to cracks. I did buy the bike used, but there was very little frame damage when I got it. after a year of use (and I am a 5'11", 140lb xc racer so it was not heavy use) small cracks had developed around this area. In addition, the clear coating held up quite poorly, several chips on the down tube and bb cluster as a result of small rocks being kicked up.
Also, the bonding agent used to attach the cable stop on the seat tube is very weak, which will cause the stop to crack or break off entirely.
bottom line: its a killer ride, but the reliability is beans. spend your money elsewhere.

Weaknesses: Frame cracked at the seatpost collar after three months
Bottom Line:
Until the frame cracked right at the seat tube after three months. I don't know how this happened as I havne't had a chance to take the bike offroad yet but it happened and it sucked. However, between Bicycle Pro Shop in DC (one of the top two places I have been to) and Orbea, the frame is getting replaced under the lifetime warranty.
I'm willing to chalk this up to a one off problem and I do appreciate that Orbea is taking care of it. Plus, give it one ride, and you'll see why I'm more excited about the new ride and less upset at this happening.
If I was still riding this right now, I'd be giving it 5 each.

2012 Guide Analysis: "After decent success with their first studio effort "Cyrus", indie film comedy darlings Mark and Jay Duplass moved right along to this gentler New Orleans-shot story of two brothers with very different work ethics and personalities.
Segel plays a slacker who never got over his father's death and sits about getting stoned. In contrast Helms plays an overachiever whose marriage is about to collapse. Throw in Greer as Helms' potentially unfaithful wife and Sarandon as their mother who has been getting love notes, and you have a part mystery and part cute little contemplation piece on destiny.
The Duplass reportedly held onto the script for years in the hopes of doing it one day, and now with the bigger budget on offer they've done it the way they intended. Jason Reitman and John Malkovich produced the feature which screened at Toronto to good but not great reviews, the most common complaint being that it's almost too light weight."

I fell in love with this fabric, it's a red light cotton with small white anchors, really cute, so I tried to do something a bit special with it but I struggled with the lining (crappy polyester).
Sorry it's not ironed so there are a lot of wrinkles, well to be honest even with ironing some wrinkles still there on the bust part :(
I used miasu's contour bust dress pattern for the top, lengthen it and changed a bit the back. The skirt is just a rectangle gathered at the waist.

Thinker and Experimenter,
This conversation is closed.
How can overly empathetic/sympathetic people compete in this world? Do they eventually end up jaded and bitter?
The saying goes "nice guys finish last". I interpret that "nice" means overly empathetic/sympathetic people who sacrifice themselves for others happiness. Kindness seems to be a sign of weakness in that saying, as though people prey on those kind-hearted people. If it were true, then how do kind people compete in this world? Is it some kind of evolutionary Yin and Yang, where a balance of certain personalities need to exist for progress to happen or do people have peaks and troughs of kindness in them?
Update: Thought I'd share a fascinating article found in the comments below:
It is about the differences between being nice and being kind.
Closing Statement from Dyed All Hues
Thank you all for your well thought comments. I have learned a lot and I hope you've all taken some knowledge from this as well.
Be mindful of those around you and tread lightly on the paths made by your brothers and sisters of humankind.

are met. You do not want to get into an all-out

A hit-and-run crash involving a church van on the Kennedy Expressway hospitalized 14 people Saturday night, bringing busy northbound traffic to a halt.
About 8:30 p.m., a church van from Milwaukee was travelling on the northbound Kennedy, driving in the left-center lane. Another vehicle, travelling in the right-center lane, tried to make an illegal lane change, Illinois State Police District Chicago said.
The injured included two people and "a small child" described as seriously injured.
The vehicle, described as a white van, merged into the left-center lane, clipping the church van's front bumper, state police. The impact caused the church van to lose control.
A Mini Cooper then rear-ended the church van, which then hit a Toyota Camry, state police said.
They were taken to hospitals including Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center and the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center.
Chicago fire officials said none of the injuries appeared to be life threatening, but the expressway closure caused major backups on a typically delay-free Saturday night.
All four northbound lanes of the expressway were closed after the crash, but were reopened about an hour later.

Some individuals have listening problems not related to loss of hearing sensitivity, called auditory processing disorders. The Nazareth College audiology clinic provides diagnostic testing for both hearing loss and auditory processing disorders.
Potential Clients
The clinic serves children and adults from the Rochester community and beyond. Those experiencing difficulties attending to speech, understanding speech, remembering what has been heard, and/or tolerating noise may benefit from hearing and auditory processing testing.
Session Schedule
The basic hearing test protocol involves a one- to two-hour test session that includes an intake interview, testing, and a counseling session about the test results. Following testing a detailed report, including recommendations, is provided. The auditory processing test protocol involves a minimum of two two-hour test sessions several days apart that include an intake interview, basic hearing testing, general and specific auditory processing testing, and a counseling session about the test results. A detailed report of the findings and appropriate recommendations is then generated. The clinic schedule follows the Nazareth College semester schedule.
Student Clinicians
Services are provided by students in the communication sciences and disorders department under direct supervision by a faculty member holding the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-A) and the New York State License in Audiology.
Clients are referred to the clinic from any number of sources, including other clinics and clients, case managers, physicians, social workers, teachers, and community speech-language therapists.
Eligibility and Fees
The clinic offers affordable services to children and adults. Please contact the clinic for the current cost of service. A sliding fee scale is available.
The audiology clinic is found on the Nazareth campus in Carroll Hall. The clinic space is handicap accessible.

This is a great little shop, and being a local, I'm grateful to have something like this in my neighbourhood! You can get really lovely baby things there, and nice things for Mum too.
It's nice to see products made in the UK using natural/organic ingredients - not cheap but sometimes you have to pay for handmade and quality.
I also love the alex munroe bee necklaces so am saving my pennies...
love this shop! the bathing products are one of my favourite as they same me a trip to oxford street.. love the jewellery as well and can't describe how cute the babies clothing are. my hubby bought a necklace from alex monroe there recently. nonetheless the sales assistant was a bit at loss where i ask for the price.. i don't like to be crowded when i am browsing so i am forgiving.. saving money for daisy knights earrings. shame clothing are too big for me!!

Hey all, I've seen plenty of past threads about beacons and beacon runs and like most of us I am always searching for anything that could even resemble a found part. I've looked at the usual hair curlers, dental tools, fish tank filters, microphones etc etc....
Anyway, until we find it, I was wondering if we could maybe get someone to do a run of beacons as I'm sure there could be a big enough demand for it if it was to go ahead.
I bought one a while back when I first started my Boba costume from Evolution and it's extremely inaccurate.
If any of our many skilled members fancied doing a run of beacons, perhaps an interest thread would be a good idea first to test the water?
I'd definitely go on the list.
Thanks guys

Arsenic Trioxide Improves Survival in Adults with APL
Recent results from a Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) phase III clinical trial showed that adult patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) who received arsenic trioxide (Trisenox) in addition to standard chemotherapy had significantly better event-free and overall survival than those who received only standard chemotherapy.
The NCI-sponsored CALGB study tested the effects of arsenic trioxide on 582 patients between June 1999 and March 2005. Patients with newly diagnosed APL, an uncommon form of leukemia, were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. The standard remission treatment group received the chemotherapy drugs daunorubicin and cytarabine with twice daily doses of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) followed by the standard postremission regimen of two more courses of ATRA plus daunorubicin. The experimental treatment group received the same standard treatment with the addition of two courses of arsenic trioxide given immediately after the patient entered a complete or partial remission and before the standard postremission regimen.
The researchers found that 77 percent of those adult patients in the combined chemotherapy and arsenic trioxide treatment group remained in remission 3 years after diagnosis compared to 59 percent of patients receiving only the standard treatment. In addition, 86 percent of adult patients on the combined chemotherapy and arsenic trioxide treatment regimen were still alive after 3 years compared to 77 percent of patients on the standard treatment.
Study co-investigator Dr. Richard Larson from the University of Chicago noted, "These results indicate that arsenic trioxide should be considered as part of the initial treatment of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia."
Radiation After BCS Benefits Older Women with Breast Cancer
A study from the NCI-sponsored Cancer Research Network published online in Cancer on January 22 has shown that women aged 65 or older who receive radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and 5 years of tamoxifen therapy have a reduced risk of cancer recurrence compared with those who do not receive these standard treatments.
Investigators led by Dr. Ann M. Geiger of Wake Forest University searched the medical records at six HMOs in the Cancer Research Network for women aged 65 or older who underwent surgery for early-stage breast cancer between 1990 and 1994. They recorded whether women had a full mastectomy, BCS followed by radiation therapy, or BCS alone. They also recorded the incidence and duration of tamoxifen use in women with hormone-receptor-positive tumors.
After adjusting for known prognostic variables, the investigators found that women who underwent BCS without radiation therapy had an increased risk of recurrence or second primary breast cancer compared with women who had a full mastectomy. In contrast, women who received radiation therapy in addition to BCS did not have an increased risk of either recurrence or a second primary cancer. Women with hormone-receptor-positive tumors who received 5 or more years of tamoxifen therapy were less likely to have a recurrence or second primary cancer than women who received tamoxifen for less than a year.
Radiation therapy following BCS and tamoxifen benefited women regardless of age, race, ethnicity, or comorbidities. Because several recent studies have shown that older women are less likely to receive standard cancer therapies, the authors stress "the importance of providing high-quality cancer care to all patients, regardless of age."
Study Confirms Cigarettes Packing More Nicotine Punch
Cigarette smoke-nicotine yields increased 11 percent between 1998 and 2005. That is the conclusion of a new report from the NCI-supported study by the Tobacco Research Program at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), which analyzed data from the nation's major tobacco manufacturers.
The new report echoes findings from a similar report released last summer by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Massachusetts law requires all manufacturers of cigarettes sold in the state to provide a comprehensive annual report on nicotine yield and other measures of cigarettes design. Smoke-nicotine yields are measured using a standardized machine-generated method that compares cigarettes, regardless of individual smoking behavior.
The researchers identified two ways the cigarette manufacturers appear to have increased the smoke-nicotine yield: a higher concentration of nicotine in the tobacco rod (the portion of the cigarette that holds the majority of the tobacco) and a reduced "burn rate," which permits more puffs per cigarette. The researchers cautioned that these two factors could not account for the total increase seen and that "precise information about these products remains shrouded in secrecy, hidden from the public."
"Our findings call into serious question whether the tobacco industry has changed at all in its pursuit of addicting smokers since signing the Master Settlement Agreement of 1998 with the State Attorneys General. Our analysis shows that the companies have been subtly increasing the drug nicotine year by year in their cigarettes, without any warning to consumers since the settlement," said the study's lead author, Dr. Gregory Connolly, a professor of the practice of public health at HSPH.
The study authors note that "all cigarettes are highly addictive and deadly, and relatively minor changes in nicotine yield may not significantly alter the product's addictive properties." They suggest that the increased nicotine may be intended to make it easier for smokers to maintain their addiction, including lower income smokers who may be smoking fewer cigarettes as the price of tobacco products increases.
Women May Be Quitting Tamoxifen More Often than Thought
When women who have early-stage, hormone-responsive breast cancer take adjuvant tamoxifen for 5 years, it can dramatically reduce their risk of breast cancer recurrence and death. But sometimes women stop the treatment early and forgo these benefits. A study published online January 22 in Cancer reveals that the number of women who do this may be higher than previously thought.
Researchers at St. James's Hospital in Dublin analyzed records from a national database that logs prescriptions filled through the Irish government's free health care system, which serves approximately one-third of the country's population. The final study cohort included 2,816 women over the age of 35 who had filled tamoxifen prescriptions between January 2001 and January 2004.
Previous studies have estimated the rate of nonpersistence, or discontinuing treatment with tamoxifen, at between 16 and 32 percent within 5 years. The current study, which is the largest thus far, showed that the discontinuation rate was 35.2 percent after a follow-up of just 3.5 years. "It is likely that persistence with tamoxifen will have declined further by the time the cohort of patients in this study has completed 5 years of treatment," the authors warn. Some factors associated with nonpersistence included younger age (under 44) and older age (over 75).
The authors speculate that younger women may have difficulty accepting a diagnosis of breast cancer and thus may be less accepting of tamoxifen's side effects. They also note that because some types of antidepressants have been shown to decrease severe hot flashes, these drugs may improve persistence by minimizing side effects.
SWOG Closes Prostate Cancer Trial
The NCI-sponsored Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) last week announced that it has closed a phase III prostate cancer treatment clinical trial because the new treatment under investigation was associated with a rare but dangerous side effect.
The trial, dubbed S9921, was designed to see whether hormone-deprivation therapy combined with the chemotherapy drug mitoxantrone was superior to hormone-deprivation therapy alone in men with "poor risk" prostate cancer - that is, cancer that had spread beyond the prostate and was at high risk of recurring after surgery or radiation therapy.
Mitoxantrone has already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Of the 983 patients enrolled in the trial, 488 had received mitoxantrone as part of their treatment. In the most recent review of survival and side-effect data from the trial, SWOG explained in a statement, trial leaders noted three cases of acute myelogenous leukemia among the patients who had received mitoxantrone. No patients in the hormone deprivation-only group developed leukemia.
Following a review and recommendation from SWOG's Data Safety Monitoring Committee, the trial was closed.

We very much welcome your contributions in the form of media files (photographs, videos, line drawings, etc.). These files could show distinctive characteristics of a butterfly species, or its morphological variation, habits, habitat, early stages (eggs, caterpillars and pupae), and so on. The media files will form a bulk of the species pages and most of our user contributions.
Following are the guidelines that we request the potential contributors to follow while submitting their material. If this is the first time you are considering contributing to Butterflies of India, please read the guidelines in their entirety before submitting your files and associated information. Also, review the media guide at the bottom of this page.
(1) As far as possible, please submit original media files.
This will help members of the Butterfly Biology Team to check EXIF data and confirm identifications, dates of photo creation, etc., and help the Media Management Team to create the highest quality images possible in our prescribed format. If you are not submitting original files, submit files that are at least 1,000 pixels wide.
(2) Submit all the information associated with your media files.
At a minimum, we request the following information: (a) Precise locality where the picture was taken. If the picture was taken in a wildlife sanctuary or national park, mention that information specifically. If the picture was taken in a place without a specific name, mention the general locality, nearest town, and state. (b) Correct date on which the picture was taken. We can usually take this information from the EXIF data associated with the images. However, many people don't know this so they never enter correct date and time on their cameras; hence, EXIF data can sometimes be misleading. (c) Name of the copyright holder for individual media files. It is all right if you are submitting files on behalf of someone else, provided that the original copyright holders are aware that you are submitting the files for this website and they have explicitly granted you permission to submit the images on their behalf. This will ensure that we will not use someone's copyrighted material without their knowledge and express permission. Generally, we encourage people to submit only their own copyrighted material. (d) If you know it, mention the English or scientific name of the species. It is OK if you don't know the name of the butterfly, but then try to submit either original or very high resolution files. High-resolution files, in which we can blow up the images and check markings of butterflies in relation to their wing veins, are best for identification.
Please take submission of the associated information seriously. A media file without associated data is not useful to us at all. In fact, we may entirely discard the media files that are submitted without the complete information. Here is a sample of the associated information that we need with every media file, in its ideal format:
(Sub)species name (OK if missing or incomplete): Appias nero galba Indian Orange Albatross
Place: Deban Rest House, Namdapha National Park, Arunachal Pradesh, India
Date: 2007/05/24 (we prefer either a yyyy/mm/dd or a 24 May 2007 format)
Copyright: Krushnamegh Kunte
(3) Do not write anything on the media files. We will add all the information, including copyrght statement and associated data, to each file after formatting your file in our prescribed style.
Your media files will be formatted to fit the prescribed dimensions and style for this website. Usually, this will mean that the media will be formatted to 700 pixels in width, including margins. Please do not put your name/copyright line or other information on the pictures or videos themselves. We will add this information, including name of the copyright holder, to the media files before uploading the files on the website. Each media file will also be given a unique media code by which it will be identified. In case you or someone else wants to refer to your specific media file, the unique media code will be used as the digital object identifier. We will maintain a database of the media files to keep track of the contributors and their contributions. The database will be made available on the website for the benefit of everyone. When posted on the species page, all picture files will appear 345 pixels in width. When clicked, these files will open in their full 700 pixels-wide dimension. All this is explained in the media guide below, and samples of how this works can be seen on any species page (look under the "Photo Gallery" tab on species pages, and click on any picture).
(4) Email your contributions to Gaurav Agavekar or Rohan Lovalekar, and copy to Krushnamegh Kunte.
Currently we are working on an online submission system for the contributors. Once this system is ready, you will be able to contribute your files online and we will be able to process them much more efficiently. This will streamline the peer-review and media management process. Until then, please email all your files to Rohan and Gaurav, who are leading the Krushnamegh Kunte.
(5) After submission, each and every media file will be checked for accuracy of identification and associated data by members of the Butterfly Biology Team.
This applies to all the media files, even those contributed by the most reliable butterfly biologists in India. Such peer review is critical in maintaining high standards of information on the website. Please check your contributions once they appear online. If you disagree with species determination by the Butterfly Biology Team members, write to us to know our reasons. Otherwise update the associated information that you had noted in your own database (if you maintain one) from the file information that appears on the website.
We look forward to your contributions to this free, citizen-contributed, peer-reviewed encyclopedia of Indian butterflies. Thank you very much for your help in building this reference. We are all working to build this website on a voluntary basis but, as a team, we are working almost round the clock to process your media files and put them online. So please be patient if your files do not appear online immediately. Peer review sometimes takes time, but it is an important step. If you have any questions about your submissions, please contact the three people mentioned above under point (4). Also, we will appreciate it a lot if you work with us to format your own images, provided that you have the time and also access to some image-processing software. For your convenience, we have an Media Management Team is happy to process your images for the website.

About Me Practical, Stylish, Athletic
I was a little leery about ordering this suit as the reviews weren't so good but I thought I would give it a try because I have a longer torso and wear usually a 16/18 size. I ordered this swimsuit for a group trip to Legoland to use at the water park and to hang out by the hotel pool afterwards. I ordered both top and bottom and expedite shipping. It got to me just in the nick of time for our trip but they sent me two tops! I was able to run to Target and got a plain black bottom thankfully (after I cried and screamed!) and they matched up great. This top is simply amazing! Its flattering and makes my stomach and torso look longer and leaner.The point of the suit hits just below my belly button so breaks up the "thick" part of my body. The neck line is VERY sexy and it could even be used as a night club shirt! I did feel that it ran a little small, mostly in the chest width so if you like a little more skin shown for tanning, order the smaller size. I personally like to cover my armpit folds and need a little more coverage up there so ordered a size up. The ONLY con is that when the material gets wet it can cling to you a little too much. Maybe if the material was a little thicker it would be perfect? Regardless, I still LOVE this suit. I am having them ship me the bottoms and will review again when I get them. Fingers crossed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Stylish, Practical, Comfort-oriented, Conservative
I wanted something fun for the beach and decided to get this set. The top is great and it doesn't let the girls hang out. I felt very comfortable and loved that the fringe was long enough to cover my tummy. I'm a 44E and ordered an 18. It felt true to size. The bottoms however were a little snug. I would suggest going up an extra size from what the chart says to get. I ordered a 16 and probably should have gotten an 18 (My hips are 45"). Overall it's a great swimsuit and I've already ordered more from this site!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Practical, Comfort-oriented
This is a cute suit, but if you have a shorter torso like me, it won't look like the model. The silver fold-down band isn't visible when I wear it, which is too bad because it's a stylish look, but I have to say I'm still pleased with the fit. I bought both pieces in a 12 - I'm 5'3" and a 38D.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
By V-girl
from Toronto, Canada
About Me Stylish
All the previous reviewers were right. I should have listened. This swim suit is amazing, but the triangular part that hangs down is a single layer of swimsuit material which makes it way too thin. The bottom edge doesn't even have a seam. That being said, the fit is great. It's true to size and the bra insert holds everything in place. It's also nice that the bottoms are a little higher cut.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Olympus Executives: Non-FT camera compatible with Four Thirds lenses in later 2013
In multiple interviews in the past, Olympus executives, while avoiding to reveal specifics, have been hinting repeatedly at a hybrid solution as their flagship, a M43rds camera that can also make the most of their existing Four Thirds SLR lenses. This camera, currently code-named "the 2013 model", will likely arrive in late(r) 2013.
This was revealed by interviews of Olympus executives, both Olympus Spain and Olympus Japan. See the interviews in Spanish and computer-translated below:
+ Quesabesde (computer-translated)
+ DSLR Magazine (computer-translated)
Considering the current situation, I am sure photographers who invested heavily in Four Thirds may not necessarily be happy with the lack of new pure Four Thirds developments, but this new "2013 model" seems to be a reasonable practical alternative to nothing. Let's not forget that Olympus has a relatively small global market share in DSLRs with Four Thirds and they are trying to recover from the financial scandal, so it would probably be a stretch and a big risk to expect them to follow a parallel M43rds and Four Thirds professional track. Even Canon and Nikon have only one professional track.

I know what you mean about kryptonite. I had purposely stopped baking treats for a while, because even if I don't eat many they seem to put weight on me immediately. However if I just have baked goods on a random basis at coffee shops, etc, it is fine. I guess it is probably that I eat more of them for a period of time when I make it at home.
I was in a water retention phase for a few days because my weight jumped up 2 pounds out of the blue but went back down today.
I think I am pretty much in the phase now to see if my weight is done going down or if I have a few pounds left in me to lose. If I have news to share, I will let you know, otherwise if I am quiet you know it is because I am fairly stagnant!

Marveling at the Beauty of Wind Resistance in Paris, France
It was pouring down rain, thunder, lightening, the works. Soaked and shivering, we wondered if we could skip the whole thing. Then my seven-year-old looked up at the Eiffel Tower and said, her voice shaking, "Mama, it's the most beautiful moment of my life." Gustave Eiffel succinctly explained why it's so beautiful: "Wind resistance." But—if you want to see it and not feel like a sheep for slaughter—walk up: 704 stairs to the second floor, where the view is just as great as at the top. It's fun. People from all continents are laughing at how out of shape they are while the people in the elevator want to kill each other. If you plan ahead, there's also a great Behind-the-Scenes tour, complete with secret war bunker.

Looking for someone who likes to travel locally and out of the country. Financially independent.
I'd just like to add...
I like to garden and visit national parks for hiking and scenery. I live out of town on acreage and like to be with my animals.

A very good Chinese takeaway service. Food always delivered hot and within specified times. Reasonable prices and staff repeat order back to you over the phone to ensure they've got the details down correctly. They do some special set dinners for 1-4 people starting from under £6 a head (ask details when calling). They also do some fabulous deals on individual dinner boxes such as Chicken in Black Bean Sauce with Boiled Rice or Noodles for around £4 and the portion sizes definitely won't leave you wanting! Mixed Hors D'oeuvres at £5.20 for a mix of veg spring rolls, crispy seaweed, satay chicken, spare ribs and prawn toast, yum, what a bargain! Free delivery for orders over £7.
