Outdoor Activities
Golf – There are many excellent golf courses within easy drive of the hotel. We have special arrangements for guests at two of these courses; the closest is 6 miles away at Trethorne, near Launceston. They have one 9 hole course and one 18 hole course with splendid views over Cornwall. The other is St. Mellion Golf and Country Club, approximately half hours drive from the hotel. They have two excellent 18 hole courses, the Old Course and the internationally famous Championship Course designed by Jack Nicklaus.
Horse riding - The Arundell Arms is in the middle of some excellent riding country.
St. Leonards Equitation Centre – two miles from the hotel offers skilled instruction for both children and adults and also organises riding through the lovely Tamar Valley. Further away there are several good stables offering trekking over Dartmoor.
Cycle Paths – The Tarka Trail, over 180 miles in length takes a looping route through North and Mid Devon; from the rugged Atlantic Coast, the estuaries of the two rivers Taw and Torridge through rural Devon Countryside onto the northern Slopes of Dartmoor. Alternatively the Camel Trail follows the line of a disused railway, running along the beautiful Camel Estuary from Padstow, the 6 miles to Wadebridge, and on, for the more adventurous through Bodmin and yet on again to the western edge of Bodmin Moor, the rugged heart of Cornwall.
Watersports – Roadford Lake lies on the edge of Dartmoor between Okehampton and Launceston approximately 7 miles from The Arundell Arms. With over 730 acres of water there is skilled instruction for children and adults on sailing, rowing, kayaking and windsurfing.
Surfing – The North Cornwall coast offers a range of surfing opportunities from the beaches at Bude, which are mainly west facing sandy beaches such as Widemouth Bay. Or you can try the North Coast and the 'home of British surfing' in Newquay with Fistral beach being home to the legendary big wave spot, The Cribbar.
Bird Watching – From rugged coastal cliffs and moorland to rolling farmland and muddy estuaries, the South West offers some of the best opportunities to watch birds in the country. For example you can witness the Spectacled Warbler on Dartmoor, visit the Plym Estuary for Gulls or explore Lundy Island for the chance to watch a variety of rare species.
Tree Surfing - Tree surfing is an adrenaline-pumping, heart thumping bird's-eye experience. This incredible treetop eco-trail transports you to the truly awesome canopy of one of Britain's most prized woodlands. Test your limits, and get on a natural high. www.treesurfers.co.uk
Fishing – The hotel has its own fishing on 20 miles of rivers – the Tamar, Lyd, Thrushel, Carey, Ottery and Wolf – which provide an infinite variety of fly fishing for our guests.

Several wines from yesterday's non-wine geek Superbowl party:
2004 Donedei Merlot, Columbia Valley, Washington
Enjoyed this wine in the past but had not opened a bottle in years. It did not reward holding (sigh). Although it tastes better than it smells with fruit and some tannins yet evident, the decaying, necrotic nose ruins the experience. Below average for a $35+ WA merlot only eight years out.
2002 Kiona Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Washington
Although '2002' in Washington and the word 'Reserve' would entitle one to expect a wine with more weight, this medium bodied Cabernet shown brightly in comparison to the rest, all of which were younger and less ambitious. Bright cassis and black cherry fruit with balanced acid and tannins and just a bit of espresso on the finish, it was quite tasty. Probably nearing peak but should hold here for some time. A recent acquisition; not sorry to have two more.
2003 Guigal Crozes Hermitage
After everyone else left the host pulled this wine. It was served to me blind, but I knew two things: this guy loves California pinot above all else, and from way across the room I could see a pinot-shaped bottle. So I kept trying to fit the square peg into the round hole: who makes a Cali pinot with a skunky Heinekin nose, tar and green olives? That it turned out to be C-H and from a Californicated vintage at that made perfect sense--once I knew what it was; I'll admit to not guessing it. Very good now, but fading a bit on the palate--no rush but I'd put these in the drinking queue if I had them.

The state's largest utilities, heavily criticized for slow responses to major storms last year, appear to be repairing lines and restoring power at a faster pace as the state recovers from widespread damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.
National Grid, for example, had by Tuesday evening restored electricity to roughly half of the 237,000 customers whose lights went out at the storm's peak. In comparison, a day after a Halloween snowstorm belted New England last year, the utility had restored power to about 25 percent of customers who lost electricity. And after Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011, it took two days to restore power to about half of the National Grid customers with outages.

It's pretty much impossible to win a major tournament shooting an inferior paintball gun, so when Infamous and XSV won multiple tournaments this season shooting the Empire Axe it spoke volumes for the product. Empire's new LE-PPD Axe features the Freak Barrel (five Bore Sizes - .675, .680, .685, .690, .695), Redline foregrip and board and Joystick Interface with rubber seal. And this one is designed exclusively for PDD attendees. Check it out here.
Okay, so this is so new that we really don't know much about it yet other than it looks very similar to the Hybrid Contract killer gear bag from a few years back. We'll have more on this in our next issue. Check it out here.
Quality, durability, comfort, functionality and expandability—these are the qualities most players want in their tactical vests and these are exactly what you'll get from NXe's Light Infantry Tactical Vest.

We rarely get excited by products like squeegees but Exalt Paintball's Barrel Maid is really pretty awesome. First, there are several components that make up the Barrel Maid—and every one of them is 100 percent replaceable and 100 percent interchangeable. The Barrel Maid is designed so it won't unravel and it's build on a durable, tough, flexible plastic material. The Rocket Disk is an all-weather seal that retracts during insertion to prevent paint going up your barrel, then expands as you pull back to remove everything in its way. Check it out at ExaltPaintball.com.
A few years ago DYE jumped into the scenario, woodsball and MilSim market with both feet.—with their NT11 DM Series marker and their tactical line of products.

The people behind the company known as GOG, the same people that introduced the original Shocker in 1995, now believe they have another game-changer in their new eNMEy pneumatic regulated spool valve marker. The eNMEy, due for release any day will be priced at the same level as your entry level blowback marker. "There's no hammer, mainspring or sear in the eNMEy(TM). You've got to shoot it to believe it," says GOG's Adam Gardner, referring to the smooth performance made possible by the marker's spool valve design. "That's why we're inviting paintball techs from around the world to take the eNMEy(TM) tech class free of charge at this year's World Cup – and to leave with an eNMEy(TM) of their own."

Still seems like a lot to me :S
What, do you think these people are stupid? Didn't Steve Jobs or someöne else get only like 1$ as payment on their payroll for the year? Companies do this sort of thing as a tax loophole. The lower your salary, the less taxes you pay. Then they can just get a "company credit card" to spend on whatever they desire.
That is what he filed in the U.S., Apple got lots of money outside U.S. and every rich person has an offshore account. Not saying that is what happened but I highly doubt Cook takes $4.17 million in 2012...
Misleading title is misleading.
It makes it sound as though even when you exclude stock awards his pay still went down 99%, which isn't true. Also, stock award compensation that will span over 10 years is not salary for one year.
the only thing newsworthy out of this is that Cook got a one-time huge stock award when he became the CEO, which is last year's news. So the whole article it pointless.

10 More Great Ideas for Moms Who Want to Work at Home
Are you a parent with vivid dreams of working at home? You know, the flexible hours, having the kids close by, no commute, working in a comfortable setting, and a boss you can live with—YOU! Your dream can become a reality if you prepare and educate yourself in the many jobs that can be done from a home office. Think about your marketable skills and research how you can use these skills to promote a successful business.
Working from home doesn't always mean starting your own business. There are many companies that are willing to provide work-from-home or flex-work opportunities to employees. Sometimes arrangements can be made for a few meetings at the office and the remaining duties at home.
Sound good to you? Now it's a matter of finding which job fits your style. Here are ten more occupations that are home-base friendly.
Massage Therapist
Massage is known to relieve stress and improve the quality of life. "I have been a licensed massage therapist for 16 years," explains LMT Lisa Kelly of Amazingbirths.com. "I do it simply because I love it, and it's so rewarding to do a job that helps people and really doesn't seem like work. My focus is with pregnant women or women who have just had babies doing pre- and postnatal massage therapy."
Kelly says that the heart of her business is run from her home and she sets her own hours. "I do house calls, getting to know my clients and their environments." Kelly adds that becoming a massage therapist consists of around 600 hours of class time and testing for a license, and that she has extra certification in pre- and perinatal massage therapy.
Customer Care Services
Many companies hire individuals who service inbound customer service/sales calls from clients to home-based offices. "I enjoy working at home because it allows me to be there for my children. I am able to earn extra income for my family without the expenses of travel and daycare," says Barbara, a customer service agent in the travel industry. "I have opportunities to work for different companies in travel and roadside assistance, getting paid by the call and sometimes by the minute. I am able to schedule my own hours and work around my family's needs." She adds that previous customer service and sales experience along with a computer were all that she needed to get started with her at-home job.

Diet Black Cherry
Boylan Diet Black Cherry is, hands down, one of the best diet sodas you'll ever taste. Why? For starters we began with a great original flavor, with the perfect blend of cherries, wild cherry bark and vanilla that have made it a top seller. Next, we came up with a special blend of artificial sweeteners that would deliver on the unique, bold Black Cherry flavor. The end results = perfection in a diet soda.
tastes great with
Turkey burgers, with all the fixins!
2 reviews for Diet Black Cherry
excellent tasting non-aspertane diet soda…..great with low carb vodka on the rocks
Hands down the best diet soda I've ever had. The cherry and vanilla flavors go so well together. Glad I found it!

Test Driver
Audi Crossover. by Mountain Matt on 01/14/2013. Trim: 2013 Audi Q5 3.0T Premium Plus quattro Tiptronic.
Pros: The styling is both sporty and classy. Both engines have plenty of power for normal or aggressive driving. Quattro with the 8-speed Tiptronic transmission allows for a spirited drive on all road types. Car feels stuck to the road with minimal body lean; the steering always feels tight even on center. The panorama roof gives a spacious feel to the interior, especially in back. The interior is elegant and functional with the same layout and instruments as the more expensive models, and afford the full MMI, Google navigation, and connect functions. Seats are very comfortable and the driving position feels right. I like the size, it never feels too big and inspires confidence in driving.
Cons: There is little to dislike about the car. The side mirrors are a little too big, and the B pillars quite wide; both obstruct vision somewhat. Trunk space seems just adequate for this size vehicle, but rear seats slide forward for more space, and fold down for maximum space. Also, roof rack is standard for oversize loads. 2.0 engine seems noisy/thrashy when it's working hard uphill, 3.0 is always quiet and relaxed, but feels heavier. Space saver spare tire, but saves weight. Cars are on the upper end for price and lower end of mpg for this class, but performance and luxury are well worth it.
Overall review: I drove both the 3.0 and 2.0 Q5 back-to-back for 45 minutes each, on two occasions over varied roads and grades west of Denver. I got a good feel for both cars. The 2.0 feels lighter and seems more tossable. For the average driver on flat terain, that car has sufficent power; it moves from a stoplight and passes with aplomb. But on grades and mountain driving, you can hear the 4-cycl engine as it works hard at higher RPM, if you push it. The V6, 3.0 always runs quieter; it moves effortlessly from a stoplight, and hill climbing is hardly a challenge. The engine seems happy and working without issue even when accelerating uphill to pass. Both cars stick to the road with Quattro, inspire confidence in handling, and are fun to drive. They have minor exterior trim differences, and identical interiors except for options. I ordered a 3.0T because we live in the mountains and can use the power and torque.

Should you think twice about Facebook Gifts?
If Facebook collects personal financial information, it may know more about you than nearly any other company.
This post comes from Eduard Goodman at partner site Credit.com.
Facebook recently announced a new service, Facebook Gifts, that allows users to send Starbucks gift cards, Magnolia Bakery cupcakes, Gund teddy bears and other knickknacks for events like birthdays, job promotions and anniversaries. (The Palo Alto, Calif., social networking giant has plans to add more types of gifts every day.)
Are there any risks from a cybercrime or identity-theft perspective that new users should be aware of?
Gift recipients will be required to enter their physical address upon receiving notification that they have been given a gift. Users need to be especially wary of fake emails claiming to be from Facebook. It's always a gamble to provide personal data to a company storing information, and especially to a social networking site so highly scrutinized for its privacy practices.
There is strong potential for malicious spam emails to be generated, like "You have just received a Facebook Gift, please click here to redeem." We see instances like this all the time, and the link included usually opens up to a website exposing the user to malware.
With its new offering, too, Facebook will start collecting more credit card and banking information than ever before. There are a lot of unknowns, but this could be the missing piece of the profile puzzle. Facebook stores an enormous amount of information about its users, and the volume of data is growing. If the company gains personal financial information, it may know more about you than nearly any other company does.
That's putting a lot of trust in one business. If Facebook is ever hit by a cyberattack and information fell into the wrong hands, it could be catastrophic for millions of people.
But it doesn't take a large-scale attack for damage to be done. Most people are willing to offer their personal information, and gifts could possibly help facilitate that. More users may be apt to reveal their birthdays in their profile now that there's a gift incentive. Birthdays often are used to verify a customer's identity, so it's valuable information for identity thieves. Anytime you provide information to complete the mosaic of your life, you're putting yourself in harm's way.
"Card not present" fraud is a big issue, leading many merchants to ask for the security code on the back of your credit card. Will Facebook also ask for the security code for your card? Anytime you provide information, you expose yourself to the possibility of being compromised. The question is how extensive that exposure will be.
For most of us, it's a lot bigger than a gift card or fancy cupcakes -- of that I'm sure.

Congress has passed, and President Obama has signed, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (HR 4302) which includes a one-year patch which avoids a 24 percent Medicare physician payment cut that was scheduled to begin April 1, 2014; delays the implementation of ICD-10 until October 2015, and consequently stalls progress on the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act of 2014, HR 4015/S 2000.
Prior to the House's consideration of HR 4302, the AADA joined the American Medical Association and other specialty organizations opposing this legislation. This is the 17th "patch" that Congress has enacted on SGR since 2002. Although the reprieve from ICD-10 is helpful, the AADA is concerned because this legislation also includes a troublesome provision to pay for the reprieve by expanding the list of criteria used to identify potentially misvalued services. Read the letter of opposition.
While the AADA is disappointed that Congress did not take this opportunity to finalize a permanent solution to Medicare payment reform, the AADA remains steadfast and calls on Congress to enact full-scale reform, and build on the bipartisan, bicameral effort that produced HR 4015/S 2000.
Medicare physician payments would increase by 0.5 percent each year for five years under a new agreement on Medicare physician payment reform which would repeal the sustainable growth rate formula. The proposal still needs to be approved by both chambers and Congress will have to address the issue of how to pay for reform.
Read more about the payment reform proposal.
AADA advocacy
HR 4015/S 2000 progress
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act of 2014, HR 4015. A provision was added that offsets the cost of the bill by delaying the Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandate that requires individuals to have health insurance. Senate Finance Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) followed by introducing S 2122, which would also offset the cost of SGR repeal with repeal of the individual mandate.The Senate majority did not accept this provision to pay for SGR repeal.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) introduced the Medicare SGR Repeal and Beneficiary Access Improvement Act of 2014 (S 2110), which includes the bipartisan reform provisions of S 2000 along with additional Medicare and Medicaid provisions, but does not include provisions offsetting the cost of reform. While Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed S 2110 for possible action, the legislation did not receive the support needed to clear the Senate. In addition, because of the lack of fiscal offsets in S 2110 the House could not accept this bill.
In April 2013, the AADA signed on to a coalition letter supporting legislation that would allow Medicare patients to access the physicians of their choice, even if the physicians are no longer accepting Medicare. Introduced by Rep. Tom Price, MD, (R-Ga.), HR 1310, the Medicare Patient Empowerment Act, would ensure that Medicare beneficiaries and physicians are able to freely contract for covered Medicare services without penalty, while providing important beneficiary protections.
Under the current law, Medicare beneficiaries who choose to see physicians who do not accept Medicare are required to pay the physicians' charges entirely out of pocket because Medicare does not pay any part of the charges.
In addition, physicians who choose to provide covered services to Medicare beneficiaries under private contracts must "opt out" of the Medicare program for two years, during which time Medicare does not pay the physicians for any covered services provided to Medicare beneficiaries.
If enacted, HR 1310 would significantly strengthen Medicare patients' access to care. Read the AADA's letter of support.

In his 66 years welcoming guests to Boston's Taj Hotel, formerly the Ritz Carlton, doorman Norman Pashoian, 85, has greeted heads of state, famous actors, and prominent politicians. But the most important person he ever greeted was a young, blond woman he met in summer 1950. He was working the hotel's Newbury Street entrance; she was at Joseph Antell, the ladies shoe shop just across the way.
He waved to her, and she smiled back. Later, she came to say hello in person, staying to chat as he hoisted luggage and held the door. It continued that way for months. She would stop by after work and, sometimes, leave him love notes on the dashboard of his new Ford convertible. Four years later, she was Claire Pashoian, his wife, and, soon, mother to his four children.

Macrina the Younger
|Macrina the Younger

Honored in
|Eastern Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic church, Eastern Catholic Churches, Lutheran Church, Anglican Communion
July 19
Saint Macrina the Younger (c.330– 19 July 379) was a saint and one of the most prominent nuns of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Macrina was born at Caesarea, Cappadocia. Her parents were Basil the Elder and Emmelia, and her grandmother was Saint Macrina the Elder. Among her nine siblings were two of the three Cappadocian Fathers, her younger brothers Basil the Great and Saint Gregory of Nyssa, as well as Peter of Sebaste. Her father arranged for her to marry but her fiance died before the wedding. She devoted herself to her religion, becoming a nun.
Macrina had a profound influence upon her brothers with her adherence to an ascetic ideal. Her brother Gregory of Nyssa wrote a work entitled Life of Macrina in which he describes her sanctity throughout her life. Gregory presents her as one who consciously rejected all Classical education, choosing instead devoted study of Scripture and other sacred writings.
In 379, Macrina died at her family's estate in Pontus, which with the help of her younger brother Peter she had turned into a monastery and convent. Gregory of Nyssa composed a "Dialogue on the Soul and Resurrection" (peri psyches kai anastaseos), entitled ta Makrinia (P.G. XLVI, 12 sq.), to commemorate Macrina, in which Gregory purports to describe the conversation he had with Macrina on her deathbed, in a literary form modelled on Plato's Phaedo.[1] Her feast day is the 19 July.
Universalists, including Hosea Ballou and J. W. Hanson, claim Macrina as a Universalist in her teachings, citing works which they believe demonstrate Macrina's belief that the wicked would all eventually confess Christ.[2][3][4]

VIDEO: Kat Graham Debuts 'Wanna Say' Music Video
Kat Graham has just release the music video for her new single, "Wanna Say." Check it out below!
Born in Geneva, Switzerland, Kat speaks four languages, and was exposed to different cultures from an early age. Her father, Joseph, was a music executive. Her grandfather was a United Nations Ambassador from Liberia. The family moved to Los Angeles, California when she was 4 years old.
Kat jump-started her career at the age of 6 by appearing in commercials for Barbie, K-Mart, Pop Tarts, and Edison. Her first big break came when she replaced a young Christina Milian as the host of the series "Movie Surfers." Her television credits include guest-starring roles on popular television shows such as Joan of Arcadia, Like Family, Lizzie McGuire, The O.C., Malcolm in The Middle, Strong Medicine, Hanna Montana, and Grounded for Life.
At just fifteen years of age, Kat was hand-picked by renowned choreographer Fatima to perform at the BET Awards as a background dancer for Lil' Bow Wow. That experience led to other stints as a background dancer for Missy Elliott, Pharrell, Jamie Foxx, and choreographers Hi Hat and Michael Rooney.
In addition to her acting and dancing abilities, Graham wrote and sang a song titled "Derailed," which was featured in a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. At age 17, Kat was selected by the Coca-Cola Company as part of an international campaign to market their soft drink Fanta. While promoting the campaign as a member of the "Fantanas" (as Capri/Strawberry), Graham simultaneously completed her degree in recording engineering. She recently finished a world tour with The Black-Eyed Peas, and her voice is featured on Will.I.Am's solo release "Songs About Girls" ("I Got It From My Mama") and "The Donque Song," featuring Snoop Dogg. Additionally, she's working on her first album, which features collaborations with top producers like Dr. Hollywood and JR Rotem.
Kat's film projects include a Starring role alongside Randy Wayne in Honey 2 and notable cameos in 17 Again (starring Zac Efron and Michelle Trachtenberg) and The Roommate (starring Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester). She has also appeared in music videos for Justin Bieber, Will.I.Am, and Diddy. Most recently, she's signed a recording contract with A&M Octone Records and released a catchy single titled "Put Your Graffiti on Me"!

Raising Strong and Confident Daughters Today
Find out more about raising a strong, confident girl in today's world.
The Message Around Us
Turn on the television, watch a video, read a book, browse through a toy store, and even blow some steam at an arcade game—most messages about women are the same and soaked up like sponges by our daughters. Child and family advocacy organization, Children NOW, has conducted many studies on the effects of media on children's development. A survey conducted in 1997 of children 10-17 looked at girls' and boys' perceptions about gender roles in television. One of many noteworthy findings show: "Worrying about appearance or weight, crying or whining, and weakness are all things both girls and boys say they associate more with female characters on television than male characters. Playing sports and wanting to be kissed or have sex, on the other hand, are more often thought of in association with male characters than female."
It's easy to point fingers, but can the media play another role by offering examples of women as strong, capable, positive individuals? "Absolutely," says Patti Miller, Director of Children and the Media Program at Children NOW, in Oakland, CA. "Our 1997 study on Media, Girls and Gender Roles looked at a range of media that influence teenage girls, including television shows, commercials, movies, music videos, teen magazine articles and printed advertisements. The findings show that children today are likely to get conflicting messages about the role of women," says Miller. "While there are more positive role models of women in the media as independent, honest, intelligent problem solvers, there are still many examples of stereotypes being reinforced—depicting women in terms of their appearance and their relationships."
That half an hour of down time while a child is absorbed in a video or television show does not need to be deleted from our lives. Like everything else, parents need to be aware of what their kids are watching and the messages the programs send. "Grace seems to prefer videos and TV shows that I would associate with boys, for instance Dinosaur, Tarzan and anything having to do with horses," says Mimi Towle a mom of two daughters, one three years old and another due any day now, in Mill Valley, Califorina, and who makes it a point to sit and watch programs with her daughter. "I recently bought her Pocahontas thinking it would introduce her to a strong female character, but I felt the violence and cruelty of the characters overshadowed the strength of the main character. She loves the video, but seems more interested in the raccoon and hummingbird than the humans." Miller adds, "The media is a very powerful tool that can reinforce negative stereotypes for girls and boys. It's important that parents talk to their children about the negative gender messages they see on television. Parents should also select shows for their children that contain positive messages about gender, race and class. It's important that they think about their children's media consumption in the same way they would think about a healthy diet for their children."
When Lauren Pacibella turned one, she received a dump truck and a doll. Now at age three, her parents have no idea where that truck can be found. Many parents tell a similar story. "My daughter is so girlie. All she does is play with dolls, in the kitchen and in her playhouse." As parents, it is important to respect our daughter's individual interests—and these interests certainly change over time. However, we can set the stage for different kinds of play that they may have not expressed interest in before. "I know that I have to catch myself," adds Mimi Towle. "The other day we were at a toy store and my three-year old daughter expressed interest in a Barbie on a horse. She is a tomboy so I was intrigued that she showed more traditional "girl" interests in Barbie. I caught myself wanting to push this interest but instead stepped back and let her decide. She passed on it and went for the dinosaurs and frogs." Mimi adds, "I don't think I have said anything to influence her. This is nature, how she is and how she learns about things in her world."
"Look for opportunities to introduce girls to construction, building things, game-strategy," says Dr. Toy, the popular columnist and creator of Dr. Toy's Smart Play: How to Raise a Child with a High PQ (play quotient) She suggests for parents to "look for neutral colors and don't emphasize pink, so that they don't get thinking that is "girls" color. Encourage them to play with a wide variety of playthings including musical instruments, magic and machines (things that get put together). Stretch the imagination with creativity (art supplies), communication (electronics) and conversations (puppets). Introduce them to the world of high tech and help them to learn the basics."
Little girls are impressionable by everything around them. What they observe in the media, what they observe adults doing in the world and the explanations they are offered are downloaded, saved and demonstrated in their own behaviors. By no means is there the suggestion to ignore their individual interests, whether it is doll play, stroking a paint brush, kicking a soccer ball or whatever. "Often when my daughter plays with children and adults she seems to mimic predatory animals, chasing and growling at her prey, " says Mimi Towle. "I know that she has learned much of this from her videos and the hours of animal planet she has watched. Are the tiger costumes and growling feminine? No, but to me she is a happy little girl expressing herself. I've found myself tempted to growl at few people myself.
Like Mimi, let's value our daughter's individual strengths and support them as they come to terms with societal messages about being a female. Our girls have new role models, including our nation's pride and every young girl's heroine, star forward, Mia Hamm. She said in an interview with reporter Steve Davis, "I think it is such an important responsibility to show young girls that they can achieve anything they put their minds to." Who are her role models? Her parents. Sensitive to our daughters needs, sensitive to explaining what they are observing, nurturing their development into strong, capable women, we'll help them grow up feeling they can accomplish any of their own goals too.

Deck Your Halls with Felt Christmas Crafts
In a season that's often known for sparkly excess, we've fallen hard for felt: Bright, nubby, and touchable, it exudes the low-tech appeal of a gift from Grandma. Here, we make it modern with clever ideas in fresh, unexpected colors so you can cozy up your home from the front door to beneath the tree.

It's a Wrap!
So much more than a bow, a flower made of snipped and folded felt isn't just a gift topper, but also a keepsake. It can later find new life as a tree ornament or a child's hair bauble.

Proper planting depth ensures seed corn gets adequate moisture and also helps provide good seed-to-soil contact, according to Missy Bauer, Farm Journal associate field agronomist.
Farmers in much of the Eastern Corn Belt are just now revving up to plant their 2012 corn crop. As they head to the field, Missy Bauer, Farm Journal associate field agronomist, encourages them to keep an eye on soil temperature, which can fluctuate widely this time of year.

Fall is a favorite time for beer drinkers.
Traditionally, it means the arrival of richer, stronger, spicy seasonal beers, Oktoberfest celebrations at restaurants, brew pubs and beer bars, and all sorts of beer festivals.
Though not all are seasonal offerings, suddenly there are a bunch of beers newly arrived in Atlanta that have become welcome additions to the fall festivities.
A long time coming, Kansas City's Boulevard Brewing debuted several of its beers here a few weeks ago, including the wonderfully hoppy and balanced Double-Wide IPA and the luscious saison Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale.
I love drinking saisons this time of year. The bright but robust Belgian-style ale seems to go with almost every kind of food. I'm especially fond of pairing it with pork sausages, roast chicken, and spicy Thai and Vietnamese dishes. And it's an elegant and versatile star at the Thanksgiving table.
True to style, Tank 7 is pale and effervescent, aromatic and complex, with a citrusy, peppery hop presence, a touch of funk and a dry finish.
Another much-anticipated addition to Atlanta's beer scene, Chicago's Goose Island debuted three of its award-winning Belgian-style Vintage series ales this month.
Sofie is a highly rated tart, sparkling saison fermented with wild yeasts and aged in wine barrels. Matilda is a crowd-pleasing take on Belgian pale ale with a nicely balanced fruity, spicy and malty character. Pere Jacques is Goose Island's version of a rich, dark Belgian dubbel.
Of course, pumpkin beers are always one of the big sellers of the season
Samuel Adams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin is one of the Boston Beer Co.'s new small-batch creations. At 8.5 percent, it's a big beer but surprisingly easy to drink, with caramel, Special B and smoked malts, East Kent Goldings and Fuggles Hops, and an array of pumpkin pie spices.
Billed as "America's Original Pumpkin Ale," California's Buffalo Bill's Brewery based its recipe on the pumpkin ale George Washington is believed to have brewed. It's made with fresh-roasted pumpkins, and the pumpkin pie-in-a-bottle aroma and flavor comes from cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

The state Department of Correction may face legal bills of roughly $2 million for unsuccessfully challenging what three prisoners say is their right to treatment for gender disorders.
The most high-profile of the cases is that of Michelle Kosilek, the convicted murderer who successfully sued for a sex change operation after doctors found it was the only appropriate treatment for a severe case of gender identity disorder. A judge earlier this month said he will order the state to pay $700,000 in legal fees to the inmate's legal team.

Updates and other random Rush stuff
UPDATE - 4/30@11:11PM: I'd mentioned that I would have another feature for registered users up probably tomorrow. Well, I put it up a little early. Just look over to your right about the calendar and you'll see the new Rush is a Band poll/survey. The first question is How will you be getting or how did you get your copy of Snakes & Arrows? I'll be updating the question about every week or so. Have fun!
UPDATE - 4/30@10:15PM: The Rush Backstage Club seems to have screwed up earlier today and had a Feedback lithograph up (like I posted below) as their next prize when they'd meant to have a Snakes & Arrows one up. I thought that seemed weird. Anyways, they've corrected the page. Here's the correct contest:
This 18" X 24" lithograph is produced on high quality, heavy art paper. This limited edition litho is number 394/500. This is a big-time collector's item! The winner of this contest will be announced on May 15th. Our system only accepts one entry per email address. Good luck!
Thanks to Joe C for the heads up.
----- snip -----
Less than one day left until the US release of Snakes & Arrows! For those lucky fans across the pond it's already available. What a great time to be a Rush fan! I thought I'd take care of some random Rush news that I've been meaning to post before the frenzy hits tomorrow.
On the website front, I've hit over 1000 registered users! Wow. I will also have another site feature for registered users up soon - probably tomorrow. I've just sent out another batch of RUSH IS A BAND bumper stickers. To get one of your own just donate at least $3 to the site! Thanks to everyone who's donated. I appreciate it.
In case you missed the multiple Rush radio specials that played over the weekend, they are available for your listening pleasure (minus songs and commercials) over in this post. And for all of you XM Radio subscribers, a 28-hour Rush special called The Rush Hours will air tonight starting at midnight.
Registration for RushCon 7 is now open! RushCon 7 will be held Friday, Sept. 21st through Sunday, Sept. 23rd at the Days Inn Toronto with special events on Wednesday, Sept. 19 and Thursday, Sept. 20. It should be an especially fun time this year since Rush will be in town. I went last year and had a blast and will be attending this year as well.
After 2 rounds of meet and greet pass giveaways last month, there's a new contest up at the the Rush Backstage Club. This one is for an 18"x24" limited edition Feedback lithograph. You can enter here. From the site:
This 18" X 24" lithograph is produced on high quality, heavy art paper. The psychedelic colors of the Feedback album look great on any wall. There were only 500 of these produced and this is number 486. This is a big-time collector's item! The winner of this contest will be announced on May 15th. Our system only accepts one entry per email address. Good luck!
Thanks to readers AFarCryfromFBN and figerade for the heads up.
There's some good news regarding the charting of Far Cry. After several weeks stuck at #3 it has finally broken into the #2 spot on the MediaBase Mainstream Rock Chart!
About a month ago I reported that Neil Peart would be on the cover of the June 2007 issue of DRUM! Magazine. The issue
is now on newstands will be on newstands soon and Michael from Neil Peart Drumsticks supplied me with a cover scan. Michael is also featured in a short article in the issue! As I reported a couple days ago, Michael is running a very cool contest giveaway currently over on his website here.
Reader Sean pointed me to this article at ZioShow.com where they sit down with front-of-house engineer Brad Madix who will be going on tour with Rush. He talks about how they'll be using Metric Halo's SpectraFoo software on the tour. Madix has been working with Rush since back on the Roll the Bones tour.
A few weeks ago I reported how Rush would be releasing all 3 of their concert DVDs individually on May 1st (tomorrow). There were several rumors about bonus tracks based on false information listed by some online retailers. Power Windows is now reporting that the individual DVDs will be identical to those included on the Replay x 3 box set - no bonuses.
Power Windows also has reported that the DJ Z-Trip remix of Tom Sawyer, originally from the Small Soldiers soundtrack, will be one of several remixes found on the soundtrack for the All-Pro Football 2K8 videogame which releases on June 30th. You can listen to the track on the game's official website here.
jman pointed me to this cool little Rush quiz which is featured on the CBC homepage. The quiz consists of 10 fun questions and is titled Hoser Heroes: Test your knowledge of Rush.
Spindrifter located this post from the AOL Sports blog titled Geddy Lee: Rocker, Blue Jays Season Ticket Holder. The post contains a nice pic of Geddy behind home plate.
And figerade let me know that Rush's Moving Pictures came in at #73 on Rock 101's (Vancouver) Classic Rock 101 Records of All Time Countdown.
I know I've probably forgotten something but that's it for now!

National Cyber Security Month kicked-off in October with the eighth annual conference on automating cyber security titled the IT Security Automation Conference (ITSAC). It is one thing to talk about public/private partnerships in the area of cyber security, and quite another to pull off a successful three day conference where federal security experts share the stage with a wide range of commercial practitioners.
- Debora Plunkett, Information Assurance Director at the National Security Agency, gave the keynote with a particular emphasis on mobile devices.
- Alan Paller, from the world renowned SANS Institute, provided stories of Stuxnet as well as an overview on training information security professionals.
- Richard Spires, the CIO of the Department of Homeland Security, drilled down into FedRAMP, an area where federal information technology professionals have many concerns.
Debora detailed the various challenges in managing mobile devices. She reinforced the relevancy of cell phones by stating that fifty million people in the world today have mobile phones but do not have electricity at home. Each one of these mobile devices has the potential for transferring or originating malicious code. From a federal perspective, the mobile security strategy must be able to protect data, have a robust management system, and ensure secure communication.
Alan Paller is the Director of Research at the SANS Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. During his presentation, he commented on the sophisticated computer virus, Stuxnet. He told the audience that individuals with malicious intent were re-engineering Stuxnet to send at the United States. The obvious point was to develop a deeper understanding of offensive as well as defensive security practices.
A main focal point of the conference focused on identifying security improvements that can be developed for routine tasks in order to save time and free-up humans for more analytical and strategic purposes.
Many information technology professionals have complained that universities are not preparing workers for the tactical aspects of this process. In other words, college graduates are infused with a test taking ability, but no practical experience for understanding servers and mobile devices. Paller described a new initiative from Cisco and Northrup Grumman where they partner with community colleges to develop programs for learning security basics. Students would have nine hours in front of a computer for each hour in the classroom, combined with internships that allow for theoretical knowledge to be used in a more productive manner.
When it comes to automating security practices for the federal government, a good example is the Office of Management and Budget's FedRAMP initiative. Instead of each agency "reinventing the wheel" with duplicative security testing, FedRAMP allows joint authorizations and continuous monitoring for cloud computing systems. This innovation helps third party organizations to indicate if an application is compliant with the security process. These third party organizations are colloquially referred to as 3PAOs, or Third Party Assessment Organizations. The concept is to transfer compliance costs to the private sector, which reduces the federal monetary burden while maintaining high levels of quality assurance.
There was a large contingent from the Social Security Administration and the Department of Justice who attended the presentation on FedRAMP by the CIO of the Department of Homeland Security, Richard Spires. He indicated that the effort was starting to gain momentum. Currently, the GSA has fifty two compliance applications and hopes to add three more by the end of the year. Richard indicated that the federal government is currently running twelve cloud-based services. These allow for subscription based models that scale easily and comply with security controls.
Today, data is growing forty times as fast at the world's population. Much of this data is generated by smart phones, which should hit the magic number of one billion by the end of 2012. A key factor of success for government and commercial enterprises to control security is an automated approach within this dynamic environment. The eighth annual conference will be known as step in the right direction for balancing insight from both sides of the security world.
