The hilarious 'competitive balance lottery' numbers were drawn tonight. Guess who won…..our Pittsburgh Pirates. Since the 2012 draft will be viewed as such a disappointment in the coming years, we are left to look ahead to 2013 as the opportunity to make up the lost ground.
The Pirates were awarded the second pick in the compensation round which will follow the first round next year. Right now, it would be the 33rd pick in the draft.
Also winners in the Cash Six were the K.C. Royals, Giants, Reds, Marlins, and Diamondbacks won picks after the first round of next year's draft in Major League Baseball's competitive balance lottery.
The teams that did not win a pick after the first round were entered into another lottery for picks after the second round. Sorry about your luck. Those teams who will get to pick players after the second round are the Tigers, Brewers, A's, Rockies, Indians, and Padres.

Pregorexia: More Food for Thought
Maggie Baumann: Wow, as I read the feedback on my post, I realize how my personal story with pregorexia can be viewed in so many different ways.
Actually, I appreciated reading all the posts and respect everyone's opinion on this story.
I accept the criticisms because I understand where they come from. I believed some of the exact same thoughts about myself regarding the cruelty and abuse some readers posted about my actions. In fact, the guilt I held inside of me for these actions is one of the emotional issues that drove my battle with anorexia to reach such a dire state I had to go to inpatient treatment years after my pregnancies.
Anorexia, like bulimia and other forms of eating disorders, is a mental illness that affects the body, mind, and soul. It is very common for someone to be struggling with an eating disorder and have no real conscious insight as to why the disorder developed. Many sufferers focus completely on the size of their body, the food they eat or don't eat, and the number on the scale. The eating disorder (and its surface-level focus on body, food, and weight) takes away the need to feel the pain of the real issues that lie underneath -- like an abortion, low self-esteem, a loss of a loved one, and so forth.
At the low points in both my pregnancies, I was UNAWARE of any emotional issues on a conscious level that I needed to deal with. My past abortion, the death of my dad, my adoption, my mom's scare with cancer were some of the real emotional issues that were never dealt with in my life. I had tucked all these issues out of sight because I was not equipped at that time to deal with them on an emotional level. I did not share my past losses with anyone; I just tried to pretend I was happy and everything was normal in my life.
The only real awareness I had during my pregnancies was this recurring thought that I had KILLED the baby I aborted and God was going to hurt the baby inside of me. I remember thinking that thought, but never sharing it. Instead, my focus went to feeling so ashamed of myself. I don't know exactly how the shame got connected to the loss of control of my body during my pregnancies, but it did. It's easy for me to see NOW how I felt out of control for much of my life, so the eating disorder and its lure of feeling "in control" was something that I unconsciously was attracted to.
I truly regret I was so detached from myself during my pregnancies, and in such a high state of denial of what I was doing to my children. Today I own my life-threatening actions taken against my children when they were in my womb, but back when this was all happening I truly didn't GET what I was doing. I rationalized, minimized, and denied my behaviors because that was the only way I could live with myself and feel some sense of control.
It's not right what I did. It's not healthy. It can look so cruel ... but I was sick at the time and I didn't understand I could reach out for help. I did not know of any pregnant moms who acted like me. Honestly, what mom would want to say she is not feeding herself properly and negatively affecting her baby inside? I don't know any mom who would say that.
I believe eating disorders are a disease and to overcome them you need treatment from experienced professionals to help you find your healing and recovery. I didn't open up to a team until my kids were in the 6th or 7th grade. It took me years to get through my denial, but I finally did reach the point of consciously understanding how I harmed my own children as they were growing inside of me.
As I stated above, I understand how my actions during my pregnancies can be viewed with criticism. I guess I only ask that people embrace the truth of how an eating disorder develops and shows its symptoms in one's life, then make a decision on how you feel about this story.
The eating disorder is NOT an excuse for my actions ... I must own them because those were the choices I made at that point.
There is no happy side to this story. It is what it is, and that is what I have learned to accept.
I share this story in the hopes that other women who may struggle with this issue can get help NOW. There is no reason to be alone with this issue. There are treatment professionals available to help you keep yourself and your baby healthy during a pregnancy. Help is just a phone call away.

I applaud you on being able to tell your story. I read your story and was shocked to read all of the negative comments. When I read it I thought you put it out there as a cautionary tale- letting people know the dangers of 'pregorexia' People were mean!! I applaud you for being so honest and applaud you even more for being able to overcome your sickness
I just want to say I feel you. I have battled anorexia myself… and while it didn't affect my pregnancies, I completely empathized with you.
Congratulations on your brave journey.
I guess the only people who will understand your story are people who have suffered through this disease themselves. In my mind, there is absolutely no way I would hurt my child even if it had negative consequences on my body or health. I just don't get it and can't find it in my heart to sympathize. It's just sooo wrong and makes me question whether a person with these issues should even have had kids in the first place. sorry.
You are very Brave, Maggie. I think that admitting there is a problem is the most difficult part, and I hope that your message reaches more women at risk than the judges, as I believe it was intended.
Blessings to you.
I suffered from anorexia for many years, but now I am pregnant - 8 months - and I would never be so selfish as to endanger the child I am carrying. I don't think you are strong or brave for telling your story. I think if you are dealing with something as serious as anorexia then you shouldn't be having sex and you most certainly should not be getting pregnant. If you want to hurt yourself then fine, but to hurt your unborn baby is seriously sick. I pity you and I feel sorry for your children.
In resposne to 'M.E.'s comment.
I was not aware you were a perfect human being. Get over yourself.
So Belita you are pretty much saying that the cure to anorexia is to become prenant? Sorry, that may have worked for you but doesn't work for everyone.
Hello Maggie and her 2 healthy girls,
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I think this happens to a lot of women, although it is different story though. In my case, I did not take care of myself as best as I could and get the proper rest. I did eat good though, but sometimes did not eat a good breakfast. I had an unfortunate event and had my 2nd baby boy early at almost 25 weeks gestation. The baby lived in the nicu overfed by medications and oxygen and passed away at 6.5 months of age.
I did exercise and went around my normal business when I was pregnant, just like I did w/ my 1st child. Doctors and books always tell you it is normal to exercise during pregnancy and do everything you did before the same.
I guess it was just bad luck and the amnio at 16 weeks and stress at work and not getting enough rest, etc. that caused me to have the baby early. Sometimes I also blame it on my ex-boyfriend who forced a kiss on me for 30 seconds that put some painful pressure on my stomach while he was trying to kiss me. And then I started bleeding 3 hours after the forced kiss.
But I guess it was not the forced kiss that caused it, but just the culmination of everything. What I had was similar to a miscarriage w/ all the bleeding for 9 days and then eventual cramping which I forgot that could be labor.
I found out go to the hospital when you are bleeding, instead of going to the OB (doctor). Some OBs doctor don't know everything about bleeding during pregnancy and think it is normal.
PS- I am very glad everything turned out healthy and happy for you and your girls. Your family is so blessed! God bless you always.
Hi Maggie and Whitney - what a brave story to tell in such detail. I am happy to know you both.
- Doctor Liz Lyster
Thank you for being brave enough to tell your story. I'm so glad your family is doing better.
I can relate to a lot of the eating disorder stuff. I feel fortunate that I didn't have it during my pregnancy. Mine began when my child was about 3.5 years old. I think there's a lot of guilt when you're a mom with an eating disorder. It's not your child you want to hurt. But you sometimes end up hurting them anyway. It's really sad.
Maggie, this story fills me with mixed emotions. I have a husband who is always using shame and inability to ask for help as an excuse for pulling these amazingly boneheaded stunts that harm our family, wound me deeply, and, in some cases, put our present and future at terrible financial risk. I try to sympathize, but mostly what i feel by now is: "Well, are you on the bus or off the bus?" At some point, your feeling state and your mishegas stop entering into the things you do, and in your understanding of your responsibilities, and you let the responsibilities take the lead and call the shots. That's how I felt during my pregnancy, even though as a head-trauma survivor, I had to stop taking a bunch of meds I needed to think straight and deal. And then, after already having spent a month in the hospital and an additional five months at home on bed rest after the head injury, I was required, in order to bring my son to term, to be on bed rest in he hospital for the last six weeks of my pregnancy as well. No exercise, no going outside, just lying on my left side and thinking good thoughts. So, I sucked it up and did it.
It's hard for me to have sympathy for people who let their feeling states, or their numbness, or checked-outness, or whatever it is, harm others. Especially little children. It's especially hard when your story, and follow-up, seem to be all about YOU. Because, based on my life experience, that's what being a grownup and a parent is all about: letting go of our narcissism, and catching hold of our responsibilities and relationships.
That said, I feel that it was very brave of you to tell this story at all, and I hope that it may help other pregnant women. I hope your daughters continue to do well physically. Sadly, in addition to some modest cognitive problems, their conditions In Utero will leave them vulnerable to high cholesterol and metabolic syndrome, even if they are slender, as they get older, so you'll want to keep an eye on that…..
Very interesting site. Hope it will always be alive!
Maggie is drumming up business….did she write this after she got help? No. Did she have that urge to tell her story so other women with her illness could get help before they do irreparable damage to their innocent babies? No. She spills her sob story after the fact, once she is a ceritfied therapist, at the most opportunistic time for herself. Nice to read when her own life was in jeopardy she sought help. But when the life of an innocent fetus, HER BABY, was at risk, she CHOSE denial. I know friends and relatives who have had this disease and chose to seek help immediately after finding out they were pregnant. This was over a decade ago as well. Courage would have been acknowledge when she was pregnant and sought help. It would have been helpful for her to have her story out a decade ago when this was not spoken of. Now it is just opportunistic. See it for what it is.

In this tragic trilogy, Agamemnon's murder sets off a horrific chain of events. First, Agamemnon makes it home from the war, but gets murdered in a bathtub by his wife, Clytemnestra. Second, Orestes, Agamemnon's son, returns home, and with the encouragement of his sister, Electra, avenges his father's death by killing Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus. Finally, the Furies plague Orestes for killing his mother, but the cycle of violence is put to rest in a trial hosted by Athena. Whew.
In this tragedy, Orestes and Pylades go on a quest to rescue a statue of Artemis, and find out that Iphigenia is alive and working as a priestess of Artemis.
Check out Euripides' take on Orestes murdering his mother.
Aaaaaand here's yet another version of the most famous matricide of all times.
Orestes and Electra are sentenced to death by Menelaus for killing Clytemnestra in this tragedy.
Orestes appears as a baby in Clytemnestra's arms in this tragedy that tells the tale of Agamemnon deciding to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia.
Orestes gets existential in this modern play that re-imagines the classic Greek takes on the myth.
In this modernized marathon of all of Sophocles' extant plays, Orestes and Electra get pretty friendly with each other as they plot to kill Clytemnestra.

Scenic views of the lake and surrounding parkland can be enjoyed on over four miles of paved trails. Natural areas within the park can be explored on foot, mountain bike or horseback, on our more than 10 miles of natural surface trails.
The Cabin John trail runs roughly 10 miles North-South, from Cabin John on the Potomac River to Montrose Road & I-270 in Rockville. The southernmost 2 miles (from the Potomac to where it crosses under the Beltway - near Seven Locks Road) is not ridable and is not open to bikes.
Cedarville State Forest is a great place to experience twisty narrow singletrack without a lot of elevation gain or loss. It is a wonderful place to learn how to ride mountain bike singletrack. Each trail has its own flavor.
Conway-Robinson Memorial State Forest is a small tract between Gainesville and the Manassas Nat'l Battlefield. It's a flat park with about 6.5 miles of single & double track with more trails on the way.
MORE is partnering with Trail Conservancy and other natural surface trail user groups to continue constructing new trail to replace poorly designed older trail at Cosca Regional Park in Clinton, Maryland. The new design was created by IMBA.
The Fairfax Cross County Trail runs 33 miles through Fairfax County connecting many popular parks, including Riverbend, Wakefield, Accotink and Colt's Neck..
Fairland Park has nearly 8 miles of flowing and fast singletrack trailentirely built by volunteers. They are similar in style to Schaeffer Farms with a few fun sections and features thrown in, including a Roller coaster trail in the north east side..
Fort Dupont Park is part of the Fort Circle Park system in Southeast Washington DC. It is administered by the National Park Service, and it is one of the very few national parks where mountain biking is permitted. It is also the only legal mountain bike trail in the city.
Fountainhead Regional Park is a multi-use area on the north shore of the Occoquan Reservoir between Bull Run Marina and Sandy Run Regional Park. The Park is managed by the Northern Regional Park Authority (NVRPA).

How nice to wake up Christmas Day and, because of time difference, find that I was awarded with another Blog of the Year 2012 award, this time from Chef Doru. Thank you so much!
If that wasn't enough I woke up today, Boxing Day, to find that I've been nominated again, this time from the charming Fae of Fae's Twist & Tango. I really can't thank them both enough for these. I'm thrilled with them (as well as all of the other awards, most of which I still haven't managed to accept – working on it!) and more than happy to pass on the awards. Especially as certain blogs kept popping into my head the first time I was awarded this. Then, I ended up going a different route as there were too many blogs jumping to mind. So I went with blogs that had changed my way of thinking toward certain ingredients and those that prompted me into trying new things. This time I'm going with the blogs that spring to mind, although several of the blogs I'd like to nominate haven't posted since August. Hmm…
This time I'm going with my nominations (alphabetically) first with rules about the awards at end of post:
All the Love- Without the Wheat
RECIPES, DISCOVERIES, AND MUSINGS IN A LOW-CARB, GRAIN-FREE LIFE STYLE is how Gretchen describes her blog. As I'm only intolerant to wheat I can manage some pasta (have to weigh it first) and a slice of bread occasionally. If, however, I gorge on lots of wheat based foods I suffer – to the extent I could've belched for Britain during the last Olympics and won gold. So, it's incredibly useful knowing of alternatives.
Back Road Journal
Karen describes her blog as: Little treasures discovered while exploring the back roads of life. Again, this is another blog that's beautifully written with posts about food and travel (I think it's fair to say). I'd be hard pressed to find a typo, to the extent I wouldn't even bother to look for one. Unlike my comments, sometimes. Yikes!
Foodie Baker (AKA FOOD IS MY LIFE)
Jasline's step-by-step photos are as sensational as her recipes (yes, I'm positively going green with envy!). And I'm certain I will learn lots from Jasline's amazing cakes, desserts and savouries – if I ever arm myself with the necessary baking implements! Sighs…really must. Especially as I'm constantly reading posts on fabulous cakes and desserts. Drool…
Jodi Ambrose's Blog
Proud to be a sass-mouth! That's what Jodi states! Believe me, Jodi doesn't mince her words and says it like it should be. However, be warned! If you don't care for expletives…I'm British, so I'm perfectly used to it. Jodi is a professional writer, I think it's fair to say. Including within the publishing world of recipe and/or cook books. Seriously, out of all of you Jodi's the only one that's published? Hmm…I think it's about time several of you shoved some of the big names outta the way (excepting Jodi, off course!).
Until finding blog addresses within Reader (for this post) I hadn't remembered that m&m was the first to follow me on WP. However, that's not the reason for nominating. Rather, it's m&m's love of Italian cuisine, like several other nominations, that I find inspiring. And love the fact I'm learning about Italian cuisine – at last.
Mon Food Blog
As Dr Dan states within About Me: When I don't work, I cook. Mostly Italian. This is the third blog that I'm nominating where their influence (I think it's fair to say) is Italian food. Bring it on! Especially as I didn't know a lot about Italian food before I started my blog on here.
My French Heaven
Stéphane's blog is to do with Cuisine, Design & Joie de Vivre, and believe me it's exactly that and more. Always beautifully presented and in perfect English and French (well, my French is so awful these days I wouldn't really know!). Anyway, I love Stéphane's style, recipes, photography and his witticisms (if I'm allowed to say that). I do believe Stéphane probably is the greatest host (and I'm secretly hoping I can learn how to be from his blog!). It'll never happen…apologies, Stéphane. Not even you could help!
Real italian dish
Albertocook is the only Italian man (as far as I'm aware) I'm following that does really nice authentic, and I think, regional food. Even though certain ingredients aren't readily available here in the UK. Regardless, I'm thrilled that I'm learning about authentic Italian food for the first time.
The Charmed Cupcake
Angela, Ange or Angie – whatever suits their personality (Angie's own description – and I used to love The Rolling Stones song back then) states: CUPCAKES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF A BALANCED DIET within the header. In my case I'm definitely unbalanced. Having said that I did catch myself eyeing up a muffin tin or tray (don't even know the name) recently. Reading all of these delicious posts is having an effect, regardless of how subliminally. I'm going to have to look for a starter baking kit during the January sales (no, I'm not talking suitable for children. Although, chances are I'd prefer their colours!).
Christine states: Everything Food from a Perky Personal Chef's Perspective. And I definitely agree with this: who is out to prove that healthy does not have to mean hippy dirt & bark tasting food. Hoping Christine won't mind my copying and pasting all of that! Anyway, this is another blog that has great step-by-step photos and lots of detail leaving these recipes foolproof, I would've thought.

The city was less than half the size it is today, and the bulk of the recreation facilities that residents enjoy — including the aquatic center, the Hammon Senior Center and the Patterson Skate Park — did not exist.
Chaney's role in the development of the city can scarcely be overstated.
More than two dozen parks have been built under her guidance, and she helped ensure that new development paid for them.
The nonprofit Patterson Repertory Theatre and other programs have flourished with her initial support. Sports teams have gained more places to play through joint-use agreements the city made with the Patterson Joint Unified School District under Chaney's leadership, and a new teen center exists because of a partnership she helped forge with the Center for Human Services.
Whole new annual events have sprung up, such as the annual Art and Wine Gala — and even some that haven't lasted, such as Skate the Circle nights, have left the community with warm memories.
While the opening of the Patterson Skate Park in 2011 involved some initial challenges, the park is now a community jewel, attracting skateboarding enthusiasts from San Francisco and more distant cities.
The city's Health, Wellness and Hunger Coalition has benefited from Chaney's guidance, and she has noted that she in turn gained a greater appreciation for those in need.
Chaney also has drawn attention to the natural attractions Patterson has in its backyard, promoting the San Joaquin River and Del Puerto Canyon through the Hikes, Bikes and Kayaking program.
Those resources will likely receive greater attention in the future, thanks to a park planned along the river and another planned for the base of the canyon in a draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan that Chaney has overseen.
In all of these ways and more, Chaney's service to Patterson will be remembered long after she departs April 30 for a planned worldwide sailing journey with her family.
We wish the city luck in seeking a candidate to continue her legacy.

Feature article: Peat wastage and wetland archaeology
Sorry, there is no English version of this document.
Bundle Burials
Anaerobic Preservation in a Coastal Cemetery site, Nicoya Gulf, Costa Rica
Ricardo Vázquez L., Juan V. Guerrero M. and Federico Solano B.
Department of Anthropology and History, National Museum of Costa Rica
[ED: This article was passed to Margarita Astralaga here at the Bureau by Lic. Marco A. Solano, Coordinator of the National Wetlands Porgramme, Ministerio del Ambiente y Energía, Costa Rica. ]
The site is located in the southwestern shore of the gulf of Nicoya, opposite Venado Island, in an area of the tidal zone flooded most of the time. The fieldwork was carried out in 1989, 90 and 91, during the maximum lows of the major tides of each year.
The bundle burials were detected by inserting flexible metal bars through the sites dark muddy soil. Due to the short time available between the tides, the recovering procedure had to be quick. Once the presence of bones was confirmed, the bundle was isolated on a pedestal. Then, the whole block was removed from the pedestal, wrapped with bandages, and put in a cushioned box.
Thirteen bundle burials were excavated, a partial one was found lying on the surface, and two complete ones were handed over to personnel of the National Museum. In addition, a minimum of five individuals was calculated upon the scattered bones collected on the surface. As a whole, the human osteological sample of the La Regla site comprises 28 individuals. The gender ratio for those individuals more than 16 years of age at the time of death is nine females and eight males.
Of the 16 bundles analyzed, nine had single skeletons and seven contained bones of two individuals each. Within the latter group, the most common association is that of adults and subadults (five of the seven cases). Three bundles contained the remains of adult females together with remains of infants or children. Other associations included: woman/non-sexed adult, man/infants, and child/infant. Only one subadult, 10 years old at the time of death, was found buried in a single bundle.
The bones are in excellent condition, and no cut marks or scratches visible. Total degradation of soft tissue and tendons prior to the preparation of the bundles is indicated. Some of the bundles show a natural concretion of clay and calcium carbonate, which holds the bones in their original position forming a rigid block.
In three of the 16 bundles, there was preservation of the organic wrappings that held the bones. These three bundles were found between 70cm and 80cm below the surface, the largest scores in the sample. Chemical and spectrographic analyses indicate that preservation of the archaeological materials was due to the anaerobic conditions (lack of oxygen) in the deep strata of the sites mud bed. These strata remain permanently soaked with sea water and non-saline underground water from inland. On the other hand, the high content of organic matter in the mud bed uses up most of the oxygen introduced with the water. Another positive factor is the almost neutral pH of the water and mud associated with the burials.
The artifacts found with the bundles are: two carved wood sticks, 154 small wood beads, a stone metate, six pearls and a jadeite pendant. The wood of the sticks and the metate were placed in the burial pits; while the other artifacts were directly with the bundles.
One bundle is completely wrapped in strips of bark about 5cm wide. On the basis of the stereoscopic comparison, barks of three different species native to the gulf of Nicoya region were used. Two other bundles are also completely wrapped, but with ropes about 4mm wide formed by two braided strand. The fiber used to make the rope was selected and processed from either a grass or a tree bark.
As conclusions, it is possible to say the the bundles were originally buried in a coastal swamp. Otherwise, inadequate conditions for anaerobic preservation would not have existed. With time, the cemetery sank into the tidal zone due to the tilting of the Nicoya peninsula northeastern shore. The compact arrangement of the bundles suggests that they could hve been brought into the site, by land and/or sea, from relatively distant places. However, the use of barks from native trees, as well as pearls, indicates a close association of the archaeological population with the gulf of Nicoya region.

Tide's Profile
|Display Name:
|Tide's Book Lists
|Classics (7 titles)
A list of books that are considered to be "classics" written by authors like Charles Dickens, Jules Verne, Robert Louis Stevenson, Madeleline L'Engle, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R Tolkein, Victor Hugo and Lewis Carrol to name but a few!
|Tide's Comments
|Anna Karenina
by Tolstoy, Leo, graf, 1828-1910.
This was a facinating book, well written and well worth your time as it entices you to really think. Anna Karenina invites you to be an observer, passing no judgement on the characters, only to tell you of their actions and the consequences of those actions. posted Jun 27, 2011 at 12:55PM
|Around the world in 80 days
by Verne, Jules, 1828-1905.
Sure to make you laugh, this is a great read for everyone. (If you have seen the movie, be warned that they are NOTHING alike) posted Apr 2, 2010 at 5:11PM
|A tale of two cities
by Dickens, Charles, 1812-1870.
One of Dickens best works, this novel takes place during the French Revolutionary war. It mainly centers around a husband and wife's fight to be free of the French tyranny. posted Apr 2, 2010 at 5:09PM
|The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe
by Lewis, C. S. 1898-1963.
A series that has also been made into film, this is an enthralling adventure of four siblings into a unknown land. It's a great book for all age groups. And unlike some other classics, its very easy to read! ;) posted Apr 2, 2010 at 5:06PM
|To kill a mockingbird
by Lee, Harper.
Without a doubt my all time favorite book of all time. posted Mar 27, 2010 at 9:46AM
|Pride and Prejudice (Large Print)
by Austen, Jane, 1775-1817.
A great book showing the ridiculous, humorous, and sad events in the life of two sisters, Lizzy and Jane. (although it mainly focuses of Lizzy) A must read for everyone. posted Mar 27, 2010 at 9:43AM
by Jacques, Brian.
I was taught to read with these books. They may sound kiddish to some, but hey I love them! The also come in audio, which are really great to listen to if your stuck cleaning you room under the threat of not being allowed to see that movie tonight ;)!! posted Mar 27, 2010 at 9:34AM
|The fellowship of the ring
by Tolkien, J. R. R. 1892-1973.
Another series that you have heard of before. A major hit as a movie, it also makes a really good read. Word to the wise: There is a LOT of very detailed description of the scenery. And while to some that helps them create the image of where the characters are, to others it drags. So, some of that you can kind of skim over. Just don't skip anything vital!! posted Mar 27, 2010 at 9:30AM
|The last battle
by Lewis, C. S. 1898-1963.
You have most likely heard of this series (the Chronicles of Nania) many times before. I have read it years ago, but never actually finished the last one. I was TOTALLY blown away by what happened in the ending! Never saw that coming ;) Wanna know what I'm talking about? Read it and find out for yourselve! posted Mar 27, 2010 at 9:19AM
|To kill a mockingbird
by Lee, Harper.
I think this is really my favorite book :) Incredibly well written, showing the racism and bigamy in a small southern town from the point of few of a young girl. Also a fascinating subplot with the mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley. Will surely keep your intention. Warning: some strong racial language, I would not recommend for children. posted Mar 5, 2010 at 9:47AM
by Dekker, Ted, 1962-
Really an interesting book. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing about whats gonna happen in the end, but you have no clue about whats really going on until you get to the end. Then everything is revealed in about four pages. Sure to have you on the edge of your seat! posted Mar 4, 2010 at 9:07PM
|The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
by Douglas Adams
Actually much funnier then I expected it, but its a more of a dumb humor, for lack of a better word :) Not that the book isn't very good. Definitely a most read, I would recommend it. posted Mar 4, 2010 at 9:00PM
|Blink of an eye
by Ted Dekker
Really good book. One of the first Ted Dekker novels I've read. Well paced, well written and keeps you on edge. The plot had just enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. The look inside two cultures meeting is really interesting. I would certainly recommend it. posted Mar 4, 2010 at 8:56PM
|The chronicles of Narnia [videorecording] : the lion, the witch and the wardrobe

The photos Beyoncé doesn't want you to see
Um, that ship has already sailed.
So it makes sense that there would be some photos of Beyoncé at the Super Bowl that are less than flattering. That's to be expected. What's not expected is for her people to think there's anything they can do about it once those pictures hit the Internet. But they did ask for a number of pictures to be pulled -- after Buzzfeed ran a gallery of photos, her publicist asked for several to disappear.
So, of course, they've gotten just a bigger audience. Gawker pulled together the six photos (including the one above) that are apparently causing all the controversy. With a million gorgeous photos of Beyoncé out there, why is anyone sweating these six? And one could argue she still looks pretty damn fierce in all of them.
I am a mother, I was so disgusted by the pictures and so called wonderful super bowl show. I as a parent hope my children choose someone to be their roll model OTHER than this woman. The dances and whatever were so appauling to me that I would not let my children watch!!!!!!!!!!!! I want my children to have class and style. I don't want them to follow this examplke EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How awful!!!!!!!!!!! I will always be cautious when my children want to see or listen to this entertainer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The nerve of Yvette!!!! I think Beyonce' is full of herself! Such vanity not to mention conceit when you turn down Destiny's mics! Doesn't she know that these moments are always going to happen, especially when you are gyrating and strutting ALL your stuff for the world to see? And now she wants those pics pulled? Get over yourself!!!! I thought for a family event, her show was too much. My children are now adults, but if I had little kids, I wouldn't want them to watch her sell "sex" in the name of entertainment. The Super Bow has become a venue to sell sex in both the halftime show and the commercials!!!! Most of them weren't even worth the money it took to produce them. Some didn't even make sense. Just waiting for their to be more attention placed on values and morals rather than our own selfish needs! When is enough enough? This is the way we want our young boys to view a woman, as a sex object? And our little girls think that is how you act and dress? Pretty sick society that we care so much about our own needs that we set such low standards for our kids!!!! What will it be like for the next generation of kids, when what we are seeing today will be considered tame compared to what it will be like? In addition to this being sickening, it breaks my heart for our children and I'm ashamed of the adults who produce such sickness. I don't want o go back to Ozzie and Harriet, but where are our consciences/values/morals? There are very few redeeming tv shows or movies anymore. Anything goes and we just look the other way! SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buzzfeed, is it a crime that Beyonce's publicist made contact and requested some photos to be removed? I think not. Whats the big deal here?!? You either grant the request or not.. It is you Buzzfeed who has made a big controversy over the request by publicizing it for the world to find out. You didn't have to handle business in this manner but because you're like many of the idiots who've commented below, you did. Beyonce is none of what you idiots who posted below claim her to be or any of the negative things the idiots of the world say she is. You idiots must be madonna fans lol Beyonce's superbowl half time show was 100X better than madonnas so get over it!!
the racist coments need to go but i will say i was disappointed in this half time show.
for someone who had just been accused of lip syncing. she should have done more singing herself
and not dancing to prerecorded tracks. this to me send a bad message to young girls and i
for one wouldnt let my daughters go see her in concert. her halftime show sent the message if you can shake your **** you dont have to actually worry about singing. i see my youngest daughter sing to her songs on the radio or on youtube and all i ca think is that if the halftime show is an example of her concerts people are getting ripped off by only hearing her sing a few opening lines and the shaking her asss to prerecorde tracks

Price aside, the food is very good, the drinks were enjoyable, the wait staff were friendly and accommodating and most entrées offered a fresh perspective on otherwise "average" dishes. Definitely worth a try.Special Features:

- GirlsniteoutDined on 7/23/2014This was our monthly girls nite out. We tey different spots each time. Your place was recommended by my son and his wife. They said best Cuban in town. They were very accomadating to us. Initially we were to be a group of six and 2 couldn't make it at the last minute. The waiter was so nice to resize the table for us. He did an excellent job, just the right amount if attention. The food was delicious. Definitely will come again and recommend it to others. ThanksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, wine and service.PharmerDined on 7/18/2014This was our first time at the restaurant. It was more casual than we thought it would be which was nice. Fun, trendy space. The two cocktails we tried (old fashioned and French martini) were not as good as we had hoped but the wine was excellent. The crab stuffed mushrooms were the best we have had and we get them every time they are on a menu. The scarlet snapper was beyond good. It was a large portion of fish that was crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside. The lamb chops won out as the best food of the night. Good portion and perfectly cooked, which is hard to do. We ended with carrot cake which was big enough for 4 people. Service was excellent and our waiter made wonderful recommendations. Expensive but totally worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding waiterJSCHILDDined on 7/18/2014It was our first time to visit and since we had heard good things about the restaurant we decided to take an out of town guest. It was a nice evening in July so we sat outdoors. If it had been a typical July night that would not have been possible. Adding Umbrellas to the tables out doors would be a good idea not only for shade but for ambiance. I do not know what our waiters name was as they do not wear name tags and I didn't catch it if he told us. I will say he was Outstanding! Very attentive! His recommendations were spot on! What a fun neighborhood place to go. A few furry friends joined us on the patio and we were so pleased to see them as it reminded us of our dining times in Seattle. Perfect!Special Features:
- Mike's Wine DiveOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/12/2014The drunken bread appetizer was delicious and well seasoned but the deviled eggs were poorly filled and the balsamic glaze was overpowering and unnecessary. I ordered the chicken papadelle and the chicken was tender and the pasta was good but it had next to no sauce or flavor when it boasted a lemon tarragon cream sauce so it was disappointing. My boyfriend ordered the grilled salmon and was very unhappy with it. It was overcooked and was on top of what is comparable to rice a roni with tiny overlooked shrimp thrown in. For dessert we had the chocolate torte which tasted as if it was old. The service was average. Overall, we decided this was a place to maybe have a few glasses of wine but not our top choice for a meal in Wichita whatsoever.Special Features:

- Mediocre food, yuppie/hipster placeBigErnDined on 6/5/2014The food here is not good. Certainly wouldn't wait any length of time to eat it. Quest fundido was ok. Bread horribly dry. Got a watery Cosmo we sent back and a horribly tasting cocktail called French 75 which tastes like wine and lemon juice. I got a filet that was tough and overcooked with some massive asparagus that was tough. Wife got a mediocre piece of salmon. Portions are very small. My steak was supposed to be 8 oz. looked more like 4 or 5. Waitress was either inept or hopefully just new. Try here at your own risk. Looks like a great place for yuppies and hipsters to congregate and take selfies though.Special Features:

- Verdict pendingNotpickyDined on 5/11/2014I went for Mother's Day brunch and came away feeling like I could have chosen better.

After our friends arrived, he showed up to take their drink order. We ordered the Drunked Bread which came out warm and fairly tasty. Our dinners arrived and we felt the food was fair but over priced. The wine list was extensive & my French Martini was delicious. I can see going there for drinks and appedtizer but not for a dinner again.Special Features:

The menu was different - not the usual steak chicken and pasta. But not so crazy my husband wouldn't try it! The staff were all very nice and attentive (the only downside was the waiter didn't know what the special was but that was ok because I'd already made up my mind what I was gonna get before we got there!) The food was as delicious as I had hoped - probably better than anticipated! The ambiance is well suited for a romantic dinner for two or a girls night out.

14 percent: Why are women under represented in the C-suites of corporate America?
Four decades after the feminist revolution, why are there so few women at the top of big companies across America and in Hawaii?
(page 1 of 3)
Photos: Courtesy of individuals featured in the 2011 Hawaii Black Book.
In the C-suites of America's biggest corporations, just 14.1 percent of the executive officers are women, according to the 2011 Catalyst survey of Fortune 500 leadership. That's one woman for every six men, and Catalyst says that basic ratio hasn't changed in six years.
No such comprehensive survey has been done in Hawaii, but one key indicator provides a similar number. The Hawaii Business Black Book lists leading executives at the state's biggest for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Overall, there are four men for every woman, but, if you count only for-profit leaders, men outnumber women five to one.
After growing for decades, the number of top women business leaders has stalled. Clearly, power and influence in America's and Hawaii's business worlds remain firmly in male hands. Why isn't as clear.
Meda Chesney-Lind, director of the Women's Studies Program at the University of Hawaii, puts part of the blame on the U.S. Supreme Court, which she says has been chipping away at gains made by women during the height of the feminist movement from the 1960s through the 1980s.
"The political backlash against feminism that started a couple of decades ago has really taken its toll," says Chesney-Lind. "It's not a surprise that we've lost ground. … The U.S. Supreme Court already overthrew the protection against pay discrimination, the foundational victory of the second wave of feminism. It took Congress to pass the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 (see box on page 36) to reinstate those protections."
Hawaii women leaders in business, education and nonprofits suggest these additional perspectives:
- Images of women in the media continue to focus on bodies over brains, undermining other female role models so important in helping girls develop strong self-images for success.
- Many women have sidestepped traditional power centers in favor of leadership in philanthropy, nonprofits, academia and community organizations.
- More women have started their own businesses. Data this year from U.S. Census Bureau's Survey of Business Owners shows that, over the past 15 years, the number of women-owned companies nationwide has grown 54 percent compared with 37 percent growth in the number of businesses overall.
- High-achieving women, more than men, are opting out of the 80-hour-a-week "fast-track" business jobs in favor of a work/life balance that leaves more time for their families.
- Many men in traditional businesses are still reluctant to share power, not only with women but also with minorities. When women don't see other women in leadership positions, they tend not to want to be part of a company.
- Because of responsibilities to children and families, women often miss networking and bonding experiences like golfing, meeting for drinks or participating in professional organizations that are important in advancing careers and meeting mentors.
In the latest edition of their classic textbook, "The Constitutional and Legal Rights of Women," Judith A. Baer and Leslie Friedman Goldstein explain that women are still far from equal to men in the eyes of the law.
"The United States remains a male-dominated society," they write. "Men hold power. Though not all men have equal amounts of power, virtually all men have some power over at least some women.
"Whatever the want ads say," they continue, "men's jobs and women's jobs still exist – and the higher the status of the occupation, the greater the imbalance in favor of men."
The U.S. never ratified the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution and never adopted the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women, an international bill of rights for women adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 1979.

However, there are some trends that could lead to more women at the top. For instance, more women now graduate from college in America than men, and the number of women with professional degrees in business, law and medicine continues to increase. Also, corporate America has put more and more value on social skills – what is often labeled emotional intelligence – that, in general, are more prevalent in women than men.
Terri Fujii, managing partner at the Honolulu office of accounting firm Ernst & Young, points out that, while the top leaders at many companies are still usually men, many of the key supporting roles, such as vice president, are held by women. Fujii has run Ernst & Young's Honolulu office for five years and says there are an equal number of men and women leaders there. She says accounting is one field that offers fulfilling and lucrative careers for women.
"Women are paving their own paths to leadership positions by starting their own companies, being very entrepreneurial and being more in control of their own destinies," says Fujii, who has been with Ernst & Young for 27 years and says she was mentored and promoted all along the way.
"I was given a lot of opportunities and was told basically that I could keep moving forward." The company prides itself on its support of all its employees, she says, and salaries for men and women doing the same jobs are comparable.
"Gains have been made," agrees Coralie Chun Matayoshi, CEO of the American Red Cross, Hawaii State Chapter, "but there is still a wage gap overall and that's going to slow the growth of being on top.
"Women working fulltime earn 81 percent of what men make for the same job," says Matayoshi, a former U.S. Justice Department attorney in Washington, D.C., and former executive director of the Hawaii State Bar Association. "Twelve years ago, when I wrote a chapter in 'Price of Paradise' on Women and Jobs, it was 65 percent."
Matayoshi, currently a member of the University of Hawaii Board of Regents, says that, while "there should be no gap," it remains highly challenging, especially in small communities, for women to reach equal status.
"Although there are laws that say you can't discriminate, who is going to sue and be out there like that? You're not going to be pushing rights you might have but you don't want to exercise. It has to be really bad before you'd sue because you're labeled. It's, 'Gee, who wants to hire her?' It's hard to get a job after that."
For V. Vance Roley, dean of the Shidler College of Business at the University of Hawaii-Manoa, there's a growing sense that many women graduates are turning down a shot at the high-powered places at the table.
"It's possible that, instead of working in a corporate culture, more women are out trying to start their own companies," says Roley, who sees a consistent equal breakdown of men and women in the college's MBA programs that prepare graduates for business leadership.
"We're all more comfortable being our own boss. But I've also read about this generation and how work/life balance is much more important to them. They're making choices to not necessarily take the path leading to a C-level position and instead taking something more comfortable for their work/life balance."
Roley believes women are being hired by companies who plan to move them up, but some women opt out of the fast track. Instead, he says, "They're getting to the level of the company where they're comfortable, and have enough money where they can do what they want to do and also spend time with their family."

Susan Yamada tends to validate that theory. The executive director of the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship at Shidler College thinks women have achieved a kind of sweet spot in the business world: They have the choice to succeed in big companies, but can also choose to succeed in the less-frantic world of nonprofits or elsewhere within their communities, and still have time to care for families. They can have it all, says Yamada, but not all at the same time.
"I think women are smarter than men in not wanting to chase the C-suite," says Yamada. "If you have family, what you are trading for that position is seeing your child walk for the first time … missing the soccer games … not going to the school plays. Women are saying, 'I'd rather spend time with my family, because, at the end of the day, what's more important?' It's like that saying, 'When you're on your deathbed, who's going to be there? The people who work for you or your family?'
"And God forbid you try to do everything at once. It will make you crazy."
Those who do make it to the top, and have a family, seem to require a strong support system. Just ask Constance Lau, CEO and president of Hawaiian Electric Industries, and Hawaii's highest paid executive in 2011. She has explained that her husband, Russell Lau, CEO and president of Finance Enterprises Ltd., parent company of Finance Factors, helped take care of their children so she could work long hours.
More than a decade ago, while Mrs. Lau was running American Savings Bank and serving as an interim trustee at Kamehameha Schools, it wasn't uncommon for Mr. Lau to bring the children and dinner to her office, and help the kids bathe in the office shower before they fell asleep on the couch.
Donna Vuchinich, president and CEO of the University of Hawaii Foundation, says she would not have been able to take on a top leadership position when she had young children. "In the future, when we have more support for families, women may have better opportunities," she says.
She sees women move in and out of advancing careers because of family needs. That often hurts their long-term prospects or persuades them that a less-demanding, consulting role is the best option.
Vuchinich originally chose a career in the male-dominated field of banking, then switched to academia and philanthropy, a field that now welcomes women and has become a female stronghold. She has seen similar career changes by other women, including engineers who moved from industry to academia because it offers more flexibility.

The $15 million Vue 180 on the Water apartment project in Newport is the latest project to open on the Ohio River.
The 93-unit development advertises rent from $1,200 to about $1,850 per month and sold out in a number of months.
Now the developer is expanding that vision a few hundred feet upriver adjacent to Newport on the Levee to build another 230 upscale apartments. The five-story apartment complex will go alongside an already-planned hotel on the parking lot next to the Levee and across from the Hofbrauhaus.
The apartment complex will also be part of a seven-story hotel development that will also be on top of a two-story parking garage and offer views above the flood wall. Developers say rent in this case will range from $1,200 for a one bedroom to $2,800 for a three bedroom units.
Officials say the $33 million project in total will take 18 months to two years to complete. Additionally, Newport schools will get a $138,000 annual payment in lieu of taxes from the developer. Special Features:

So next time you wanna freak out, make a public spectacle of your self in the tabloids and do all the blow you can get your hands on.....go for it As long as you dont go all "Whitney" you're fine. Sheen and Bob Downey Jr. set the standard such debauchery.....and now Lindsay Lohan can add her name to that coveted list of stars that prove that America loves criminals

Wind powered maritime travel isn't exactly a new idea. Actually it's a really freakin' old idea. So it's easy to make fun of the "breakthrough innovation" of SkySails.
SkySails has been adding giant kites to the hydrochlorothiazide levitra front of barges in order to reduce their fuel consumption by as much as 20%. The systems pay for themselves quickly, and could potentially save massive amounts of good choice express levitra delivery fuel...but are they better than regular sails?
Turns out they are. Per square meter of sail, they produce five times more energy than traditional sails. Depending on wind conditions the 160 square meter kite can generate about as much force as an Airbus A318 jet engine. That's pretty awesome.
Of course, the more sail you use, the more energy you get, but getting the sail up and buy discount cialis online away from the turbulence caused by the body of the ship is certainly worth the effort. Of course, now we're just waiting for them to get the systems installed on a significant percentage of shipping vessels. And, well, we might be waiting a while.

1. The photo above is not an action shot. Obviously the sail is not providing power at that angle.
2. Yes a sail like this can provide lift but considering that the sail has to be proportioned to the size of the boat I can safely say that it wont be lifting the boat by any appreciable amount.
3. The system is full automated by computers that control the sail and ensure it's running at maximum efficiency.

Maybe you can answer this question. With a traditional sail boat rig, you can sail at about 45 degrees off the wind. That is, if the wind comes from 0', you can sail up to either '45 or -'45.
What is the range of wow it's great low cost viagra a kite? I'm guessing you can't sail as close hauled, but maybe you can.
written by Mumia, August 30, 2008
If we could add a few windmills to produce electricity to drive the boat forward also, we could be looking at even more savings, these would of course have to be computercontrolled so they dont try and get power out of wind working against the forward movement of the boat.

They say a ship can be retrofitted with it for about $250,000 which is peanuts when you consider that spot prices for leasing large dry bulk cargo ships was up to $125,000 per day, last year.
There is another company, Kiteship, that's U.S. based doing the same thing.

It's called a Dynarig. It's a modern version of www.marthawashingtoninn.com a three masted square rigger.
Keep in mind that they won't be sailing the ship with a skysail, they will be motor sailing, with the engine running slow.
