Do Your Baby's First and Last Name Go Together?
Also important is whether or not your child's first name fits his or her last name. With a long last name, a short first name is easier to pronounce. James Witherspoon sounds better than Jeremiah Witherspoon. And Stephanie Ada is more pleasant to the ear than Eve Ada. There are definitely exceptions to this rule, though. There's nothing wrong with Brad Pitt!
The combination of the first and last name is important, too. Beware of both names flowing together into one. The first and last name have to sound good together also. That's the case, for instance, with Dwight David Eisenhower or Molly Melinda Grooms. If both names have the same length a second name might be an idea: Al Anthony Cleveland or Anne Marie Pons. But why change Mark Twain or Charles Rath?
Think twice (or more) if you want to name your little girl 'Ann' and your last name is 'Teak'. Or if you're the Potters and you'd love to call your baby boy 'Harry'.
Our Advice: Be careful that the first name compliments the surname. Usually a short first name goes well with a long last name and vice versa. However this doesn't always apply! Don't let the first and last name run together (because the last letter of the first name and the first letter of the last name are the same; or because they're both vowels). Take care to determine the combination of the first and last name isn't fodder for teasing.

Islamic Republic of Iran designates 22nd Ramsar site
Iran helps Siberian Cranes with new Ramsar site
The Ramsar Bureau is very pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran has designated its 22nd Wetland of International Importance, a BirdLife "Important Bird Area" and Wildlife Refuge near the southern Caspian seacoast. "Fereydoon Kenar, Ezbaran & Sorkh Ruds Ab-Bandans" (5,427 ha, 36°40'N, 52°33'E) in Mazandaran province is an artificially maintained wetland in the South Caspian lowlands.
As described by Ramsar's Liazzat Rabbiosi from the site's RIS, it comprises four "damgahs", i.e. shallow freshwater impoundments based on rice paddies developed as duck-trapping areas, surrounded by forest strips and reedbeds, and including a small Wildlife Refuge (48ha). The area is of outstanding importance as wintering grounds for the entire western population of the Siberian Crane (Grus leucogeranus), listed as 'critically endangered' in the IUCN Red Book. Having reappeared at the site in 1978 after 60 years' absence, the number of Siberian Cranes now fluctuates between 7-14. Other endangered species using the site include Red-breasted Goose Branta ruficollis, Lesser White-fronted Goose Anser erythropus, Dalmatian Pelican Pelecanus crispus and occasionally Pygmy Cormorant Phalacrocorax pygmaeus, and wintering raptors such as Falco sp. and Haliaeetus albicilla. The site's agricultural lands are flooded during summer, thus supporting groundwater recharge and water supply for irrigation during the dry months. Apart from rice farming the land is used for forestry and fishery.
An important traditional activity is duck trapping, originally a main source of income during the winter months but now done primarily for sport. ("During the trapping procedure, domestic ducks are thrown into the air in the direction of the pond. The heavy, poorly-flying ducks land noisily in the pond. The sight and sound of these flying and feeding ducks arouse the curiosity of wild ducks in the main flooded field. They swim up the narrow channel to the pond where they are netted by trappers. Because of the height of the brush surrounding the pond and the narrowness of the channel, the wild ducks are unable to take flight and quickly trapped.") In the past at the end of each trapping season the area was opened up for gun hunting in a massive "shoot-out", creating a potential threat for Siberian Cranes to be shot accidentally, but in 2001 the Department of Environment designated the whole site as a Non-Shooting Area.
Conservation measures include annual mid-winter waterfowl censuses and an MoU on Siberian Cranes with 9 'range states' of the Convention on Migratory Species. A GEF project, implemented through UNEP and coordinated by the International Crane Foundation and CMS, aims to conserve the critical sites used by Siberian Cranes for breeding, staging during migration, and the main wintering grounds.

New NBA commissioner Adam Silver doesn't see it.
In his first news conference since taking over for David Stern, Silver said he doesn't believe tanking is a problem.
"There's absolutely no evidence that any team in the NBA has ever lost a single game, or certainly in the time that I've been in the league, on purpose," Silver said.
Before the season, ESPN the Magazine quoted one NBA general manager anonymously as saying his team had shed talent in hopes of losing to gain a high draft pick.
"You need superstars to compete in this league, and the playing field for those guys is tilted toward a few big-market teams," the magazine quoted the nameless executive as saying ."They are demanding trades and getting together and deciding where they want to go in free agency. It's tough for us to compete with that. So a high lottery pick is all we have."
But Silver chalks up these teams struggles to "rebuilding."
"I think it's a balance with any team of the need to look out to the future and at the same time put a completive product on the floor," he said. "And I think what we're seeing in the league right now is there's no question that several teams are rebuilding towards the future. … If there was any indication whatsoever that players or coaches somehow were not doing their absolute most to win a game, we would be all over that. But I don't believe for a second that's what's going on."
King Kyle
Hawks guard Kyle Korver, who is shooting better than 46 percent from beyond the arc this year, declined an invite to the 3-point shooting contest this weekend, telling the Atlanta Journal Constitution that he would instead spend time with wife and young daughter.
But without him, his Hawks teammate says the contest couldn't be complete.
"How you gonna have a 3-point shooting contest with out the king of 3s?" said Hawks All-Star forward and former Jazz big man Paul Millsap.

Following a reception in the Valhalla room in Buntrock Commons, mothers and daughters were treated to an elegant meal and a short speech in the Black and Gold Ballroom.
Karen Gervais, professor of philosophy, and Angela Goehring, international student advisor, spoke about their mother/daughter relationships at the Saturday dinner and Sunday brunch, respectively.
During the Saturday luncheon, Kathy Ruby, director of financial aid, spoke about her relationship with her mother and daughter. Rubys mother maintained her strength through the many ups and downs of her life.
"She always was doing the best she could with the cards she was dealt," Ruby said.
Ruby hopes to pass what she learned from her mother and grandmother on to her daughter. "I tried to take time to find the things in my mom and grandmas relationship to carry on to her," Ruby said.
The banquet provides time to reflect and celebrate on the mother/daughter relationship.
"Its nice to have a reason to get together, rather than just going to Target," said Mary Strampe, mother of Marie Strampe 07.
For many mothers and daughters, the banquet becomes a special time to celebrate their relationship. "Its a good chance to be with my mother," Jennifer Kochsiek '05 said. "Mothers and daughters have a special relationship."
Mothers also appreciate the extra opportunity to come to St. Olaf. "Its wonderful to celebrate the mother and daughter relationship. To be a guest and be treated so lovely is such a treat," said Peggy Hanson, mother of Christine Hanson 06.
Mothers have the opportunity to spend time with their daughters, see their friends and hear faculty and staff speak in a way that pertains especially to their relationship.
"There arent many opportunities to come to St. Olaf that are this formal. It's nice to meet other mothers and hear the faculty as they to us," Marilyn Kochsiek, mother of Jennifer said.
For mothers of seniors, it is a chance to be together one last time before their daughter graduates. "Its nice to be with our daughters before they leave the Hill," said Mary Jo Hallberg, mother of Katie Hallberg 04. "Its nice to set up something where you can simply hang out with Mom for awhile," Katie added.
Often, the banquet becomes a full weekend for mothers and daughters to bond. Many took advantage of other activities that occurred this weekend, including movies, concerts and chapel.
Most agree that the entire weekend is a special time to celebrate the often complex relationship between mothers and daughters. It becomes a fancy, formal event that enables mothers and daughters to spend time together in a special setting that celebrates their unique bond.

Eric Church had little to no down time in 2012 as his career reached new heights in this year.
He toured nonstop on the Blood, Sweat & Beers tour as he scored his first two #1 hits, "Drink in My Hand" and "Springsteen." His CMA Award-winning album, Chief, was certified platinum as well, but Eric celebrated some big milestones at home on top of the professional triumphs. Those include the first birthday of his son Boone . The constant motion has left Eric ready for some down time as the year draws to a close though.
" A lot of it has been exhilarating, but equally it's been a little bit draining," Eric admits. "You know, when you get to the end of the year, you just kind of want a little time to not even think about a guitar or think about a show. You just want to process what's happened, and then try to figure out what's next."
Eric will begin work on the follow-up to Chief in 2013. He's also opening select stadium dates on Kenny Chesney 's No Shoes Nation tour starting in March.

Undergraduate Student Handbook
XXI. CEU Contact Hours
Past practice of the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing has been to accept nursing courses in lieu of CEU contact hours. This is based on one contact hour for each 50 minutes of class time. A four (4) credit course is 15 weeks X four (4) credit hours, which equals the equivalent of 60 contact hours. This only applies to courses in nursing.
If asked for documentation, submit a copy of your FSU grade report with your RN license renewal application to meet the Continuing Education requirement.

Beating the Winter BluesNovember 2002
As the days grow shorter and the temperature colder, you and your family may be tempted to make like squirrels and hibernate in your cozy, centrally-heated home. But, if you're like the estimated 15-20 per cent of people who experience the weight gain, carbohydrate cravings and lethargy of the 'winter blues,' resist the urge to burrow under the covers. Instead:
Brave the outdoors. Bundle up and go for a walk outside, especially on sunny days. Winter blues are caused by the body's response to reduced light exposure, so every ray helps lift your spirits. Take a stroll during your lunch hour, walk your kids to school, or go to the corner store on foot—just get out there!
Limit starchy, fatty and sweet foods. Those "comfort foods" that are supposed to help you feel 'safe and warm'—cookies, mashed potatoes, etc.—could actually be dragging your mood down and pushing your weight up. Reach for fresh fruit and vegetables instead of those French fries. It'll help you feel lighter in more ways than one.
Get involved. Sign yourself up for a new class or activity. Not only will it get you out of the house, it'll encourage you to discover new interests and avoid isolation.
Get help. If your symptoms are greatly limiting your ability to function at home and at work then you may be suffering from a seasonal form of clinical depression known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD's symptoms are more severe than "winter blues" and may also include: irritability, feelings of 'emptiness' or profound sadness, and major changes in eating and sleeping routines. If you think you might be experiencing SAD, consult your physician or contact your EAP for support.
Get Moving! Whether you jump on a stationary bike, unwind with yoga or dance the night away, physical activity fights off weight gain, boosts energy and releases mood-enhancing endorphins. Kill three birds with one stone: increase your sun exposure, get active and spend more time with the kids by embracing outdoor winter activities. Lace up your old skates, strap on some skis, or dust off that toboggan and spend a fun-filled family day in the park.
Create winter rituals. Find new ways to celebrate the frosty season: organize winter activities that friends and family can enjoy together. Arrange a sleigh ride, neighbourhood winter festival, skating party etc. All are great ways to get everyone out, socializing and re-energized during winter's darkest months.
Need help in balancing your work and family demands? WS Family Matters™ can help. Call your EAP at 1-800-387-4765 for service in English or 1-800-361-5676 for service in French.

Published on Brock University (http://www.brocku.ca)
Under the terms of the Brock Institutional Quality Assurance Process (IQAP), all programs at the university are subject to quality assessment. The IQAP has protocols for establishing new programs, reviewing existing programs every eight years, and making major modifications to existing programs. The current version of the IQAP was approved in May 2011 by Senate.
Every Ontario university was required to create an IQAP to meet the provisions of the Quality Assurance Framework, which was developed by the Quality Council (Ontario Universities Quality Assurance Council) of COU. The Framework was intended to demonstrate "a firm commitment to cultivating a culture of quality in education. This new quality assurance process is more streamlined, more effective, more transparent, and more publicly accountable".

A daily battle for rights and freedoms in cyberspace is being waged in Asia. At the epicenter of this contest is China--home to the world's largest Internet population and what is perhaps the world's most advanced Internet censorship and surveillance regime in cyberspace. Resistance to China's Internet controls comes from both grassroots activists and corporate giants such as Google. Meanwhile, similar struggles play out across the rest of the region, from India and Singapore to Thailand and Burma, although each national dynamic is unique.
Internet filtering, censorship of Web content, and online surveillance are increasing in scale, scope, and sophistication around the world, in democratic countries as well as in authoritarian states. The first generation of Internet controls consisted largely of building firewalls at key Internet gateways; China's famous "Great Firewall of China" is one of the first national Internet filtering systems. Today the new tools for Internet controls that are emerging go beyond mere denial of information.
Many countries around the world block or filter Internet content, denying access to information—often about politics, but also relating to sexuality, culture, or religion—that they deem too sensitive for ordinary citizens. Access Denied documents and analyzes Internet filtering practices in over three dozen countries, offering the first rigorously conducted study of this accelerating trend.

Legislators Pat Childers and Hank Coe, both R-Cody, are being challenged for the first time in five terms.
Coe faces his first opponent in 20 years in Bob Berry, also a Republican. Childers is being challenged by three candidates so far — David Northrup of Powell, Charles Cloud of Cody and T.D. Ball of Cody. All are Republicans.
In House District 25, which covers all of Powell, several candidates have stepped up to fill the seat. Rep. Dave Bonner is not seeking a third term, and Powell Republicans Dave Blevins, Steve Walker and Billy A. Greaham all had filed as of press time Friday. In addition, local Tea Party leader David Kellett, who ran for District 25 in 2010, announced on KODI last week he will seek the seat again.
For local legislative races, Rep. Sam Krone, R-Cody, of House District 24 is the only one who doesn't face a challenger yet.
Powell City Council races are mostly uncontested so far. Incumbents Floyd Young, Jim Hillberry and Eric Paul do not face opponents yet in their bids for another term.
Councilman Don Hillman is the only candidate who has filed to be Powell's next mayor.
As expected, the Park County Commission race is heating up with multiple candidates seeking two available seats. So far, the race has drawn seven candidates.
It's encouraging to see new faces taking an active role in government, and challengers certainly keep incumbents on their toes. While we see admirable qualities and strong experience in many of the incumbents, a good challenge is what a democracy is all about.
Notably absent from all these races so far are any Democratic candidates.
The Cowboy State, with its small population and smaller campaign budgets, is one of the best places to get involved.
As Secretary of State Max Maxfield said earlier this month, "The great thing about Wyoming is that we have grassroots elections, so there are tremendous opportunities for individuals to participate in government."
Just a few days remain to file for county, municipal, state and national offices. The filing period for the primary election closes June 1. After that, candidates still can run unaffiliated or a long-shot write-in campaign. August's primary election will determine which Republican and Democrat candidates advance to the general election in November.
In August, residents will get the chance to file for governing boards, such as the school, college, fire and hospital districts.
The leaders whom voters elect this year will make instrumental decisions that affect us all for years to come. If you've considered serving in public office, now's your chance to get involved.

the whole article is really just.. ugh.
- Sexism is institutionalized at birth. As Asher Bauer explains in "Not Your Mom's Trans 101," "Let's start at the beginning. A baby is born. The doctor says 'It's a boy' or 'It's a girl' based on the appearance of the child's genitals. […] the child is then raised as whatever arbitrary gender the doctor saw fit to assign." On the one hand, this is often the setup for trans identification later in life, with the individual realizing that her gender doesn't match up with her biological sex (as designated by the doctor and social conventions that elide sex and gender). On the other hand, some argue that girls face sexism from birth while boys, even if they later identify as women, do not, signifying a fundamental difference in terms of privilege and upbringing between cisgender and trans women.
- Gender is socially constructed. Expounding on an idea most famously discussed by Simone de Beauvoir in The Second Sex, Laurie Penny writes, "Not a single person on this planet is born a woman. Becoming a woman, for those who willingly or unwillingly undertake the process, is torturous, magical, bewildering–and intensely political." Trans women have to function in the same patriarchal culture cisgender women do, so it's not a huge leap to say that all women can stand together against inequality. However, even the term "cisgender" is a contentious one, as it suggests ciswomen have privileges (by "being able to" conform to the sex/gender binary) that transwomen do not. According to Miska, "cisgender privilege" is a fundamental misnomer because "we do not have gender privilege to begin with."wait wait I think you must have made a series of really unfortunate errors here because it sounds like you're suggesting that transwomen are more privileged than ciswomen. And you didn't mean to say that, right? right? right?
"According to Miska, "cisgender privilege" is a fundamental misnomer because "we do not have gender privilege to begin with."
No… no. OK just off the top of my head, here are some privileges I have as a cis woman over some trans* women:
- No body dysphoria regarding my secondary sexual characteristics (genitalia, breasts)
- No one ever questions me when I walk into a women's bathroom or dressing room
- No one has ever questioned whether I'm a "real" woman
- As a straight woman, I am free to marry a cisgender man in any state in the US
- No one in my family has ever questioned my gender identity
And the list goes on and on. And being a woman does have some gender privileges. Men have WAY MORE of them, but we have some.
What is with the mainstream feminism transfails going on today???
Emi Koyama addressed the first point in her article "Whose Feminism is it Anyway?The Unspoken Racism of the Trans Inclusion Debate," publicly available in PDF form here: http://eminism.org/readings/pdf-rdg/whose-feminism.pdf
Basically, her main point is that it is ALREADY a White middle-class woman's privileged fantasy that all women share some "common experience." If you want to kick trans* women out of the movement, then you'd better be ready to send all the middle-class White women, who have a shit ton of privilege that low-income women of color do not, with them.
(And yes, of course cisgender privilege is a thing. Let's start with "I am way less likely to be murdered because someone doesn't think my genitals look right.")

HOUSTON (WTAQ) - After not accomplishing the feat all season, the Houston Astros have won a game in their final at-bat for the second straight time.
Scott Moore's RBI single in the 10th inning scored Jose Altuve in a 6-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee has dropped 11 road games in a row.
Jim Henderson struck out the side in the 9th, but he gave up the game-losing hit in the bottom of the 10th, giving Houston consecutive victories for the first time since last June.
Milwaukee had rallied to tie the score three different times, but it wasn't enough.
The Brewers send Yovani Gallardo to the mound Sunday to try to avoid a sweep. Pregame on WTAQ is at 12:30, first pitch at 1:05 p.m.

Two controlling wins by the Roughriders to start the season and the province of Saskatchewan is giddy with belief their team is for real in a year they're hosting the Grey Cup.
But while some fans in Saskatchewan may already be thinking Grey Cup, the players are making sure not to get ahead of themselves. Quarterback Darian Durant and slotback Weston Dressler each told the team's official website players are keeping their fast start in perspective; they aren't looking for any accolades this early in the season.
But maybe they should be. A two-game win streak is modest, but in a year when the Roughriders stocked up to make a run at the Grey Cup they're hosting, it could also be foretelling.
Two week stretches can often go unnoticed mid-season, but since that's all we have to work with to kick off the season, let's assess the (very) early trends and separate the ones that could be authentic and the ones that will likely peter out.
If we're evaluating Saskatchewan, we too should look at Durant, the man orchestrating their success on the field. The 30-year-old has strung together two solid performances off the hop, completing more than 70 percent of his passes and throwing for a combined five touchdowns and no interceptions.
After four years of hovering around a quarterback rating of 90, can the eight-year veteran keep up the stellar play all season?
Durant and the Riders' Week 2 win came against a Calgary team hoping early season events don't become a trend, although in their case there's evidence it could be just that.
Stamps QB Drew Tate left Friday's game with what was later revealed as a strained forearm muscle that has the 28-year-old questionable for Week 3. While the injury doesn't appear too serious, it's concerning as part of the bigger picture. Can Tate stay healthy for a full season?
Out east, a quick look at the stats shows Henry Burris, like last year, is leading the league in passing yards while the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are again in the standings basement. Will Hamilton suffer through another season in which their high-powered offence is let down by their porous defence?
And in Montreal, the Alouettes have looked uncharacteristically uncomfortable early on. From a flustered Anthony Calvillo to a leaky offensive line, the Als don't much resemble the team Marc Trestman coached for five seasons. Can the veterans figure it out, or will the Dan Hawkins era in Montreal get off to a forgettable first year.
The Rouge asks: What early season trends will hold true all season and what ones will prove just to be phases? You've heard what we've had to say, now it's your turn.
As always, it's Your! Call.

I have played the same Bach Strad 37 for over 35 years (though not continuously). I decided that I would like to have a pocket trumpet to take with me when I travel to conferences (my paying job is philosophy professor). I decided to spring for the Kanstul in spite of its higher price tag because of the company's reputation for quality. It's only the second horn I've purchased in almost 40 years, so I found it easy to rationalize this expenditure.
In spite of the obvious weakness in my reasoning, I am very pleased with this purchase. I read lots of reviews of pocket trumpets before buying, so I knew to expect that any pocket trumpet is going to be tricky, intonation-wise. Certainly this horn does not slot as well and is less accurate than my beloved Bach Strad.
That said, I LOVE the sound I get from my Kanstul pocket. It's got a little more of a mellow, cornet-like sound, but it is a big and rich sound, and the horn is very responsive. I wouldn't recommend it for playing demanding classical material, but I play a lot of jazz and blues, and it is terrific for that. In my blues band I play a lot with a plunger and some with a Harmon mute (stem in). For that, I really prefer the pocket to a regular trumpet because your mute hand is very close up. Also, you can support a lot of the weight of the horn with your mute hand, which is close to the horn's center of gravity. I have always found on a regular trumpet that playing with a plunger reduces my dexterity on the valves because I am hanging the full weight of the horn from the thumb and pinky of my right hand. That effect is greatly reduced with the pocket. This was an advantage that I did not anticipate.
One more thing that I suspect is true of all pocket trumpets: there are more curves where water can accumulate than there are water keys. If you play one, be prepared to share the travails of our French-horn playing friends who have to turn their horns around to get all of the water out!

The senior seminar is an opportunity to gain experience researching and presenting a topic of interest.
Many students also participate in internships or study-abroad programs. Recent religion majors have held diverse internships at such organizations as Centenary United Methodist Church, St. Patrick's Church, and Caskie & Frost Law Office.
In addition, many Randolph College students participate in summer research projects.


text: Hey, Jenise, are you growing them this year? I've started my seeds already and the cute little guys are already an inch or so tall. Last year the plants produced until about mid-December, but at a drastically reduced yeild from the summer peak. I'll plant them outside in early April. Interestingly because of the moderate climate here in the Bay Area, my Padrones never got hot (spicy). I think it takes a fair amount of 90+ degree days to get the occasional spicy one.

A lot of bigs but none of them that great.
Posted 05/16/2013 5:45 PM
plumlee is a bust, duke have not produce any big man player in a while. i like dieng because he can be serge ibaka at best or marcus camby at worst. he will be a solid shot blocker in the nba which we need. i like a trade with our 10th pick for atlanta 17th and 18th pick, we can use them to draft dieng and franklin. in the 2nd round, it should be seth curry, james southerland and kenny kadji. curry can potential to be like a brother only healthier. james can be kyle korver of this team, kenny would be a other shot blocker to the team. with 11 million left, i would sign brewer, o'neal and maynor.if any money left, we should sign patrick mills.
we would waive or sent freeland and claver to the d-league. i realize that our C position would not be great but leonard can be a offensive secret weapon at any time. and o'neal will teach him how to defend and dieng and kenny too. this team would be best team since Roy per-injuries. hopefully curry would be like his brother and someday curry will play as as starter at SG and shift wesley as a 6th man. anyway this team can make it to the playoff
Posted 05/16/2013 7:09 PM
Grabbing the 17th and 18th would be good but Dieng wont be there at 17
We can grab Steven Adams and Franklin but even Adams might raise his stock after workouts

To go another season with so many rookies is not a good idea. We need a couple of vets and atleast one young bench scorer. If we want a Center, go after Hawes from Philly and Dorrell wright can be signed as a free agent. We can trade our 2nd round picks to Boston for one of their bench guys. They need some new talent and they need it fast with KG and Pierce possibly not coming back.
With our 10th pick we could grab Dieng but I think we need a more experienced Center. Another rookie cutting his teeth in our line up will just be painful. We could also get Oneal as free agent.
Posted 05/18/2013 10:23 AM
Rookies are fine a team should be able to carry 5 of them easily. The problem with us last year was we had no depth in front of the rookies. Lillard and Leonard as lottery picks should have gotten lots of playing time, which they did. However, Barton, Freeland and Claver should have been relegated to garbage time and d league stints, they were not and because of that our whole team struggled.

Opening Business Bank Account Tips
When I worked at the bank, I opened many business accounts for clients. They do take a little more time to open when compared to just a personal checking account. I learned a lot about businesses and business checking accounts after opening a bunch of them! If you're thinking of starting a business or opening a business account, I can share with you some tips and tricks that will help expedite the experience with your banker. Here are some of the things I learned: -Checks made payable to a business must be deposited to a business account. For example, if you are a dog walker and a client writes the check to Joe Smith Dog Walking, an account must be set up that way to negotiate the check. If you don't anticipate receiving more checks made out that way, I'd personally recommend asking the client to re-write the check just in your personal name. -You don't have to have a business set up through the state to open a business account. A DBA, or "doing business as" is a business […][ Read More → ]

My predictions and feelings are correct.
This link may not be related to acne but it confirms one fact.
Hunter-gatherer people know everything about mother nature.
So the cordain research on hunter-gatherer populations about acne is valid.
As predicted hunter-gatherers know mother nature

Don't even try. Mel is here to make himself think he likes nature (though he STILL hasn't denounced technology and moved to a jungle). In other words, he'd love nature until the rain came down.

Ummm, the tribes weren't the only ones. There were telltale signs like the water lowering during high tide. Lifeguards on a couple of beaches caught it and closed them all off before the waves hit. It has nothing to do with instinct, the tribes, like any sane person living near the ocean, knew something was wrong. I bet a fisherman in Newfoundland would have caught it also and I don't see him flinging crap with the monkeys.
Posted 04 January 2005 - 01:36 AM
I understand your point Mel, intelligence is good and all but yeah you'll find our other in built defence mechanisms will save us 99% of the time if we chose to use them no matter what the situation.

There were also mass strandings of pilot whales right before the Tsunami hit. Researchers say they knew something was to come. Nature is fascinating!

Gozo, the second largest of the three islands which make up the nation of Malta, is a mythical island whose long and troubled history has left many staggering monuments and mythical tales which cannot fail to inspire and intrigue. Gozo is a geologically fascinating, hilly island which takes many years of exploration to fully discover! Taking a Gozo holiday rental will guarantee a stress-free, peaceful and rustic retreat, where good living and relaxation are the order of the day.
Being such a small island, much of Gozo's culture, leisure and economy relies on the sea. The stunning cliffed coastline is broken up by deep caves, steep gullies and small, sandy beaches, which you will almost certainly visit if you are lucky enough to be staying in a Gozo villa, farmhouse or apartment. The red sandy beaches of Ramla il-Hamra ore found just miles from pure white beaches like Dahlet Qorrot, further extending Gozo's mythical atmosphere.
The coast is not only ideal for whiling away the hours relaxing on the beaches. Scuba diving is absolutely exceptional in Gozo, and there are expert centres available at the two main beach resorts of Xlendi and Marsalforn. There are a huge number of dive sites around the island, and regardless of your experience levels, you will be able to enjoy a magnificent diving holiday. For a less intensive exploration of Gozo's underwater worlds, snorkelling is a fantastic option.
Away from the coast, the stunning countryside and distinct lack of traffic make self catering Gozo accommodation the ideal base for walking holidays. Majestic villages and enchanting hill walks offering breathtaking views are prominent, taking in some of the most dramatic features of the unique geology which adorns the island.
The Island of Malta is the largest of the Maltese Islands, boasting a staggering artistic and cultural heritage. The cobbled streets of Malta's towns are filled with gems of architecture, restaurants and shopping boutiques. The sporting options on the Island of Malta are endless, with an 18 hole golf course, wake boarding, water skiing, sailing and magnificent scuba diving on offer.
Summers in Gozo are lovely, with daily temperatures reaching the mid 30's (°C) from June until September, and winters, although sometimes wet, temperatures remain above 15°C for the vast majority of the time.
Reaching your Gozo farmhouse or villa requires a little effort, but is extremely worthwhile. Malta International Airport (MLA) is just 3 hours from London. There are regular ferries between the islands, meaning that you can be settling into your Gozo apartment within a few hours of leaving home.

We've been enjoying watching Andrew Rannells as both gay-dad-to-be Bryan on The New Normal and as Elijah, Hannah's gay roommate, on Girls. However, that can't last. Sadly, Rannells is only on the first four episodes of this season of the HBO comedy, because he had to make a commitment to his other prime-time gig. There are plenty of other actors out there who are double dipping these days. Can these 10 stars manage both of their successful shows, or are some of them going to have to ""pull a Rannells"" and bow out of one of them? Click below to decide for yourself:

By VERENA DOBNIK | AP
NEW YORK (AP) — A year and a half after Superstorm Sandy hit New York, a major city emergency facility that was destroyed finally fully reopened Thursday — with waterproof walls.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo joined Mayor Bill de Blasio and other dignitaries to celebrate the emergency complex at the NYU Langone Medical Center, which is now triple the size of the old one and equipped with the latest technology.
The Ronald O. Perelman Center for Emergency Services has more treatment rooms and space for pediatric medicine, with added activities for kids.
It's named after the New York billionaire and Langone trustee who donated $50 million to finance the new 22,000-square-foot facility.
"I can assure you that this is going to be the best of its kind in the world, with the best care and the best equipment," Perelman said during a news conference at the medical center on Manhattan's East Side.
The room was filled with New York wealth and politics — including Home Depot mogul Ken Langone, chairman of Republicans for Cuomo whose name the hospital bears. The governor, who is running for re-election, is a Democrat.
Cuomo told the gathering that the rebuilt emergency room represents the spirit of New York.
"New Yorkers have a history of experiencing tragedy, refusing to be defeated, reengineering, and re-emerging better than before," the governor said.
On Oct. 29, 2012, the storm surge sent 15 million gallons of water rushing into NYU Langone, which lost its backup generator power. More than 300 patients had to be evacuated, with flashlights to guide patients on "med sleds" to the street and other hospitals.
Most services were back by the end of January 2013, but others — including the emergency center — have come back in phases after about $150 million in repairs.
On Thursday, de Blasio praised the staff.
"There's so much strength, so much professionalism, so much talent in this room," the mayor said. "I hope you all realize that what you did in the hours after Sandy was nothing short of a miracle."
The repair work is hardly over.
Construction still can be seen from street level hallways, with workers and equipment both inside and outside helping the hospital to return to normal — or better than it was, officials said.
"It's high-tech, beautiful and welcoming to children," U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney said, adding to a burst of laughter. "It almost makes me feel like I want an emergency."

Denis DaSilva mistake 3:
Not Listening to Your Client.
"Let the client talk, don't talk over them. Just observe them," says Denis DaSilva, co-owner of New York's Devachan Salon. "If you try to disagree, you'll never win. Agree with them and then change them a little to the right or left according to what needs to be done, but never say 'no.'" "No" is not a word your clients are going to accept easily. So, experts say, be certain you understand what they want before you react. "You're going to have to really listen," adds curl expert Christo, of Christo Fifth Avenue. "You're going to have to analyze their hair, so you can give them options and ideas."
mistake 4:
Not Communicating Well
Curl experts say your words matter—a lot—when working with curly clients. "If you say, 'I know exactly what I need to do,' it just blows up in your face. Even if you do know, it just puts [the curly client] on the defense," Ouidad says. "It's essential to talk about how you're going to work with the hair, what kind of movement you want to put in. You want to be able to verbalize and explain how it's going to t and what it's going to look like when the hair is dry." Ouidad says you can ease a curly's fear by saying things like, "I know layers would be too rough for your hair or it would shrink too much." You really want to make sure curly clients know you're not going to give them ledges, a pyramid or some other shape they dread. You need to reassure them you do understand their texture. "Make your client as comfortable and trusting as possible by saying things that resonate with them," Ouidad advises.
mistake 5:
Letting your Curl-Phobia Get the Best of You
Although you may feel fear when first approaching curly clients, don't give in to it. "The first 10 years as a stylist, you're so afraid of clients. When they want what they want, they make you concerned about that. The second 10 years, you learn how to present what is better for them, but the end result is they will push you, even though you gave them whatever they wanted," DaSilva says. "The third 10 years, now you're smarter. You listen, but learn how strategically to put them in a spot where you can always give them more." Especially when it comes to color—DaSilva warns if you give the client too much control, it will be hard to get it back. "I don't have confrontations with any clients, but if they say I want a lot of blonde highlights, I'll put the blonde strategically in places where they will see more blonde, but not necessarily do more blonde," he explains. "If they say I want a little red, I may know that warm brown for them is red." DaSilva says it's all about understanding how to interpret and balance a client's wants and needs.

The southern and eastern elevations are perforated by 177 glass blocks, which are lodged in the existing masonry."
