Thousands of fans attended the last event in the Citrus Bowl before renovations began. David Martin got a chance to interview some of the drivers for this year's Monster Jam in Orlando.
16 trucks competed in the Citrus Bowl. Dennis, the driver of "Grave Digger" and Nicole, the driver of "Scooby Doo" shared what fans could expect from the big event, including verticals, sky and slap wheelies and maybe even a few attempted back flips in the big trucks.
Nicole said she does not get scared, but adrenaline kicks in when she does stunts in "Scooby Doo."
"It's all about putting on a good show," she said. She works to get more girls interested in the sport. "You can do anything you want to do."
Dennis told David three generations of fans come out to Monster Jam each year, and come early for tailgating and the pit party: a meet-and-greet with the truck drivers.

Weather satellites equipped to detect emergency locator transmitters helped rescue an estimated 1,500 sailors, hikers, downed pilots and others around the world last year, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Its satellites, along with Russia's Cospas satellites, form an international search-and-rescue system. NOAA said the 171 U.S.
Maritime emergency
The royal air force of Oman has signed a $1.5 million contract with SARBE for new generation beacons to replace SARBE 6 beacons by the end of this year. The previous generation beacons will become obsolete on February 1, 2009, as analog transmissions will no longer be monitored by the COSPAS-SARSAT network. Beyond that date only 406MHz signals will be detected.
Venezuela's National Institute of Civil Aviation has taken delivery of three Russian Mil Mi-172s to improve national search-and-rescue capabilities. The helicopters, provided by IAI of Israel and Kazan of Russia, are fitted with night infrared search cameras and digital cockpits, with cabin space for 14 stretchers.

Interview with Michael Braungart
This interview helps us understand why synthetic paper can help the environment and focusses on the question if eco-effiency is an obstacle or catalysator for creatives. It took place as part of my studies for my bachelor-thesis "Plan C:// Conscious Design in Discourse" in 2007.
interview: Lisa Worbis // english translation: Max Pitegoff
Michael Braungart is a chemist, unconventional thinker, and among many other things author of the book "Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things". His professional career began in the '80's with Greenpeace Hamburg, where he was in charge of developing the chemistry department. As the founder and scientific director of the Hamburg Environmental Institute, he advises institutions and manufacturers on questions relating to environmental impact and sustainability. Together with his business partner, the American architect William McDonough, Michael Braungart conceived of an innovative organic design process: their company, McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry, develops product and manufacturing processes, creatively shaping new approaches, products and life cycles, from manufacturing to recycling.
Mr. Braungart, your book Cradle to Crade is printed on synthetic paper, which is impressive for both is visual and its tactile qualities. At first, the message that synthetic paper helps the environment seems a bit paradoxical. What is the idea behind it?
First of all — our concern is not that our work should be "green design" or "eco," but that it be good design. You have to remember that the natural life expectancy of a human being was about thirty years before he began to live within civilization. The years we've gained in life span are connected to the design of our respective living conditions, and is design in the widest sense — culture, civilization, science, hygiene. If we learn how to organize our nutrition cycles — the technical ones as well as the biological — then we don't need to apologize every day when we wake up and say "today I am 100% pig and tomorrow my goal is to only be 90% pig." This enables us to celebrate life, creativity, and design. We must understand that we can learn a lot from nature, because there's still a steep learning curve.
What exactly can we learn from nature?
My point is that nature does not need to be saved or dispensed with. This is a human projection. To come back to your question regarding synthetic paper, if we look closely at the paper production process, it is primitive to chop down a tree in order to make pulp. Wood has a useful application in furniture making, which also corresponds to the dignity of the material. It's unfair to destroy a tree just to get a little bit of pulp from one half while burning the other half. That's stupid. There just aren't enough trees. On average, an American consumes 400 kilograms of paper per year; if the rest of the world consumed even 200 kilograms of paper per year, there would soon be no more trees. So we had to look for another material. We've used synthetic paper because the ink cannot be washed out of the pages: the user can throw the book in the wash and use it again. The paper goes back to being white. Not this disgusting recycled paper which hangs on to whatever ink or boogers get stuck to it.
Was the design and implementation of Cradle to Cradle also a one-to-one process?
Yes. What the book doesn't have yet is a good process for binding. Currently, the book still uses a very primitive hot-melt binding. That hasn't been successful. But in the next edition we will improve the binding. Actually, the main reason I wanted to do a book out of synthetic paper was that I just really like to read in the bathtub.
Do you see yourself as a chemist or as a designer?
I am a conceptual designer and molecular designer. There is a lot of room in between for other designers. Of course, I must design the molecule from the outset so that it is technologically and biologically useful, rather than just being less harmful. It's not about saying "I have to minimize my ecological footprint." Instead, it's about saying "I want to have a big footprint, so that others are pleased that I'm here!" That's my idea.
How much interest in your work comes from the design scene?
Designers in the U.S. are at the bottom of the food chain. Marketing comes along and tells them "so, the customers want more curlicues." This is crazy. The most important thing is respect for creative achievement, and that simply isn't there in the United States. So design there is incredibly ugly. That's one reason why we designed the Mirra chair with the designers Studio 7.5 in Berlin, for example. The chair is made so that I can use any component at least 200 times. I can melt the plastic and use it again. I have every pigment, every UV stabilizer, each specially selected. What took the longest time were the armrests, to get that additional greasy feeling that Americans always want to have, totally disgusting. But the Americans like it. Replacing the PVC on the handle was the biggest challenge. The chair can disassemble in two minutes, it was developed to be technically nutritious.
Technically nutritious means that it can return to the technical nutrient cycle, right?
Yes. Everything is useful, whether technologically or biologically. That means that from the beginning, I'm asking: is the product damaged? Will it change biologically, chemically, physically? Europeans combine fine design and good engineering, resulting in products that are healthy, and also beneficial to the environment. This assumes that the designer is not understood to be a 'beautifier' in the end, but actually also as someone who takes pleasure in designing processes and organizing supply chains.
Does this happen on the part of the designer?
Sure, but many designers still think about their work from a perspective of beauty. Actually, we need people to say, "hey, I want to be surrounded by things that are not designed to bully people, but to support people's creativity." With design, one often asks what it is that people need, but the real question is: how do designers understand themselves?
Is this claim of eco-efficiency still perceived as an obstacle to designers' creativity?
Most have a guility conscience and say, "well, I'm a pig, but now I'll just try to be a little less of a pig." Then there's the pressure of marketing a product well. Many think that if a product is environmentally friendly, it should be somehow functional and ugly in order to sell. Here at the Hamburg Environmental Institute, we've already tested a number of products in terms of communication design, communicating eco-friendliness. The question we're asking is how can we design the communication to sell a good product? We put Weleda body lotion in such absolutely ugly eco-packaging, then pack it in a store shelf and observe who buys it.
Yes. All of a sudden the image changes. People say: "we buy the eco-packaged product because of the environment." The joke is that normal people don't think abstractly. For 95% of people, happiness is defined by comparison. There may be a few Indian gurus who can say, "I'm happy, I don't care about anything else." But any normal person always defines happiness by comparison. If two products have the same price, 95% of people buy the eco-packaged product. And that's crazy. The other package is practically only a placeholder, but necessary, since people need comparison. This simply reflects the mindset of the Media Markt generation that says, "I'm not stupid, I don't need such a slutty package, I know the actual contents." There are some people who need the eco-label to confirm their identity. But this is only a small segment of the population, most ordinary people don't do this. For me, it's all about comprehensive product quality.
You teamed up with Nike to design an athletic shoe with a recyclable soul. How did this project come about?
Nike was sued in 1994 because its factories in Vietnam were poisoning the residents in the surrounding areas. There were miscarriages and so on, really terrible conditions. I was there, I saw it, and I'm still shocked. The person responsible for this had a consultation with me and asked, "what can we do?" The environmentalists said, "you need to build a sewage treatment plant and use an air filter." The human rights activists said, "your workers need respiratory protection." I said, "no, you just have to use the right materials." During the design process, we only used the materials you need in a shoe. The result is the best shoes. I didn't want to put an eco-label on it, since that would mean to me that something about this was somehow rotten.
Many environmentalists don't like the fact that you often work with large companies such as Nike.
The funny thing is, we're good at the balancing act. Greenpeace even supports our work. The environmental movement of the '80's and '90's has contributed significantly to an understanding of people as pests. They were saying: "you are pigs, it would be best if you didn't exist." So yes, there are these terms like "zero emission," "zero waste," or whatever. I never thought that I was morally a better person that anyone else, even industry people. This helped me get through the Greenpeace era. I think morality is important on a personal level, but not as a social model. It will always end up in an ethics dictatorship.
Is it possible to buy a product for purely moral reasons?
Yes, you can make people buy anything by spreading the feeling of a guilty conscience, but only temporarily. However, this is exactly how creativity is stifled.
You once said that part of your success is due to your high tolerance for frustration. How difficult is it to push through your ideas?
I studied in Konstanz, and at one point was so frustrated that I almost gave up my studies, which I would have done if it wasn't for the surf school there. For six weeks I had been working on one single substance, and was completely broken by the end. A whole six weeks spent working day and night. I was completely bleary-eyed. Then, I sat down to begin surf school, and within half an hour, I was the happiest man alive. To see how people converged with their surfboards cheered me up again. I want to take people as they are, and envy, maliciousness, and vanity are all part of that. I will not re-educate people. I have learned from chemistry that certain things really need to be thought through. I consider every person as perpetrator and victim alike. And if you look around with this mindset, you notice that people are really just poor little pipsqueaks. If you meet someone who you've avoided for twenty years, who you've reduced and minimized, you are actually the one who is worse off. I need a little compassion. I think it's just important to be happy that people are what they are, and not to dismiss it. The environment is not a moral issue. The fact that one always forgets morality when something goes badly is overlooked. People always forget their morals when they're in a crisis.
Are we currently in a crisis?
The Germans have been stagnant in terms of the environment for fifteen years because they say they can't afford morality since the reunion. But the designer must have the right to view something from a different perspective. They shouldn't be afraid. I've always enjoyed looking at things from others' perspectives. It's not like I have a lease on the truth. What I'm doing are not inventions, but a discovery. If you discover that the earth isn't flat, you can't foresee more of it. If they discover that the world population of ants weighs four times heavier than the human population, then I'm really sorry about this whole eco-design tale. There is only good design, a comprehensive concept of beauty. It's not good if it's toxic, or if people aren't making a living. In English a notion of mine has prevailed. Once in a discussion I described my idea of good design as "total beauty design." I really meant "holistic" instead of "total," but the British said "no, no, but you said 'total,' it reminds us of Germany and the total war!" The British just have a sense of humour.
So what is the role played by the designer when it comes to putting this comprehensive concept of beauty into practice?
I'd like to see the designer start to be a little less moderate, I'd like them to say "I am the designer." Why do we leave the product concept to businessmen? Businesses are extremely successful when they put design front and center — Herman Miller, for example. They celebrate good design and therefore can create a business that benefits others. It disappoints me when designers don't demand more autonomy.
Where does this lack of self-confidence come from?
What happened was this: in the '70's and '80's, there were a lot of catastrophes, such as the 1984 Bhopal disaster in India. I went there to help. It was incredible: half a million people had been seriously injured, and at least 60,000 had died. This led to a lot of "normal" people no longer studying science or engineering. And those who had studied these subjects found themselves with a guilty conscience. You can see this today when you meet someone who says, "sorry, I'm from the BASF." This generation has simply been socialized to deal with guilt in this way, and in Germany it was particularly bad, because all of this Nazi guilt was being processed alongside everything else. And meanwhile, all of these other people occupied middle management positions in order to not feel guilty about anything. The same is true of designers, who are also mostly pursuing the management of their guilt. To this I say, "look at how a cherry tree works. There are no savings and no sacrifices." But meanwhile people from the generation after come along and say, "still, I'm not dumb. I won't use chemicals that will wind up in my breast milk." This has nothing to do with organic. It's simply stupid to do something that isn't good for nature. Currently, however, the existing systems are optimized, and that means that many innovations can't find their way onto the market, except through good design. This is also true of communication design.
What problems is it a matter of solving?
I have a good example: for Trigema, we produced a t-shirt that we call "compostable." What a silly comparison! I'm also compostable, but that's not an accomplishment. We come to the world as compostable. We currently have to advertise on the most primitive level, because communication designers are useless! As for communication design for organic products, we're still at that Adam and Eve point. It's currently only done through the management of guilt. So the company Trigema has made a shirt that was specially developed for skin contact, but can't sell it with this argument. This Trigema shirt is certainly a better product, because it's made of materials that are suited to come into contact with skin. Other t-shirts are only made if they can be done cheaply and look nice. Existing companies are manufacturing up to 95% hazardous waste, yet how do I make a new product without people saying, "it's different than we're used to, it must be much more complicated." Do you understand? There lies the problem. For this we need very good communication design.
It sounds like a cry for help.
Communication is crucial. We can't be ideal. The book Cradle to Cradle contains only 20% of what it should actually have. I can say, "dear customer, the more you buy, the greater progress we make, you are my friend." I can't say, "quit purchasing, this protects the environment even more!" This is a very important issue for existing industries. A company like Mattel, for example, has been selling toxic waste to children for fifty years — what are they doing now at year fifty-one? Mattel will only be done away with if it's replaced by a new toy company. In the United States I won a chemistry prize, which was given to me by Bush. I said to him, "you don't have to go to Iraq to find chemical weapons. I can just show you a little toy. That is terrorism." Meanwhile, asthma is by far the most common childhood disease. Over half of our children have allergies. Simply because all of this stuff is never manufactured for children. This gets back to the Trigema shirt — we could say, "this is the first t-shirt made for children." But then it would ruin the whole Trigema brand. The question is: how can I push existing businesses towards different ways of thinking, while our society is still structured on guilt?
I have a feeling that awareness is changing, at least for some. Obviously people still are running to H&M every two weeks to buy new clothes…
No, that's great! H&M has nice, stylish things. But the question arises, how do I make sure the company H&M doesn't just do some eco-cotton project, but that they actually reinvent all their items? Communication design there is crucial. At the moment I'm bewildered by your professional field, because no solutions are coming on the part of the designers, only guilt management. We're trying anything different: the Americans cannot recycle their Nike shoes, and you know why? Sex.
It's not that Americans are all shoe fetishists, it's because of how Americans name raw materials. In German, there are primary raw materials, secondary raw materials. Americans call it "virgin material." And obviously, I cannot recycle a virgin. Whether male or female. In any case, the Americans can't use what someone else has used. This attracted our attention, and we recently presented this idea to Nike. For something to be used and to still be great, it must come from a saint. Modern saints are actors and sports stars. So now, when I include in 100,000 pairs of recycled shoes one pair by a modern saint, such as Tom Cruise, then each Scientologist buys a pair, because he is associated with it. For golfers, it could be Tiger Woods. 20,000 molecules of the holy sweat of Tiger Woods in my shoe — I belong to a "holy community."
Sounds reasonable.
By the way, I can tell you about another product that demonstrates how communication design fails. Once again, since I have this forty-year-old family man mentality, I really hate it. So we made this shower gel for CD. A traditional shampoo or shower gel uses about thirty chemicals because it's the cheapest way to make this gloop. From this, I'll get dry skin and I'll have to add a humidifier. From the humidifier I'll get skin irritation, so I'll have to pack in a paralytic agent so that I won't feel anything. That's complete nonsense, I just want to put good things in my shower gel. Initially, that's not possible, since that means that every ingredient is six times more expensive. We produced the same product quality with nine substances. In the end the production is much cheaper, because storage is simpler, workers health and safety is improved, and there are less errors. Great, so what goes on the label? "From nine pure substances." No one knows exactly what that means. How much is nine, is nine a lot? And pure means that they was once contaminated? And the packaging: before it was completely transparent, but no, these stupid eco-types had to choose what was best for the environment, a rotten-milk-colored polypropylene packaging. Who wants to buy something so stuffy? So we wrote in the magazine Brigitte that there are only nine chemicals in this new shower gel rather than thirty. Who cares about that? I still can prevent nine pure "chemicals" being written on the label. Now it's nine pure "substances." That's nonsense. However, the product was successful because it was cheaper to manufacture.
You said once that dematerialization robs people of their culture.
It means ultimately that there's no one best way. For example, take these labels that I developed for mineral water bottles. The ingredients we used to make them were chosen deliberately. The dematerialization people would say, "but you can print directly onto the bottle, which would save paper." But we say, "no, we want to have a nice, big label!" But we found ingredients so that if you wash the bottle, you can use the leftover paper sludge to grow shitake mushrooms. The more mud the better. Nature doesn't work with little, it only works with a lot of dirt, mud, materials. Only then is it creative and productive. It's about rematerialization, not dematerialization. Dematerialization also leads to soil erosion. Worldwide, at the moment, we lose 5000 times more humus per area than is newly formed. The Americans have lost more than half of their total amount of humus. Because they never give back to the farmers.
How should awareness be raised in the future?
We just need people who are ambitious, and say, "yes, I want change." We will form a union of designers, which to work will be limited to 2,000 people. They will call their territory and say, "I can make a contribution to this field," both locally and in a larger context. What will occur is an exchange of ideas. Members have to pay a membership fee so that we can keep up-to-date in order to make Cradle to Cradle design. It's just about total beauty at full quality. Something that can be incorporated into the design from the start. Its important to ask simple design questions. For example: can I throw away my product later? Or can I burn it without needing a filter? Or will it be recalled by the distributor? When I can't throw away a product, I can't make a decision. Product designers must ask themselves: how do I get nutrients back into biochemical cycles? Meanwhile, there is knowledge about materials only to the extent that I can think through them completely, without having to do anything here. It only requires a high level of abstraction.
A final question: are the materials you developed for Rohner Textiles really edible?
Yes, they're all edible, because if you're sitting on a sofa you will "eat" parts of it, in a manner of speaking. This material is very successful economically, you can even see it now on view at the Museum of Modern Art. And compared to fabrics of similar quality, this is 20% cheaper because the leftover pieces that are cut don't have to be expensively disposed of as hazardous waste, but can be used as peat in a nursery. There are other ways. People have to trust that. It's important to make the customer a partner. It's not about being superior and to saying, "I'm perfect." But to convey to the customer, "right now we're here, and since we want to go further, if you support us, then we can do it."'

The Birmingham Airport Authority released contracts and reports in relation to the $201 million terminal modernization project at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport Wednesday night.
The documents were released after the Alabama Media Group filed suit against the airport authority alleging they were violating the Open Meetings Act by withholding terminal construction records.
The authority continues to investigate what caused a Multiple User Flight Information Display System to fall on March 22, killing a 10-year-old boy from Kansas and injuring three of his family members. The group's president, Al Denson, reported on April 4 that safety concerns were raised by members of the construction team prior to the accident.
Included in the released items is the final contracts with the project manager at risk, the joint-ventured company of Brasfield & Gorrie and BLOC Global Services Group, the architect firm of KPS Group Inc. and the construction manager A.G. Gaston Construction Company.
Also released were 14 monthly status reports from Brasfield & Gorrie/BLOC beginning in February 2011.
"We all must ensure that every step in every project is fully reviewed and completed, and that transparent inspection processes take place." Brasfield & Gorrie/BLOC stated.
You can find links to .pdf files of all the documents released by the Birmingham Airport Authority below.

Hello everyone! I just found this and I started just playing a little bit of it. What depression quest does it show what it's like to be someone with depression through an interactive medium. If you've ever wondered what it's like (especially if you have someone in your life with depression) then I recommend this! I have been struggling with depression for a while and I discovered very quickly that this is an accurate representation that should be able to translate well for someone who has no first-hand experience with depression.
Note: if you have depression, the creators warn that the game can be triggering. It was a little disturbing for me to have my feelings described so clearly and intensely, and I find that I am too uncomfortable to continue in my current state of mind. Take that into consideration.

When the May 22, 2011 tornado destroyed St. John's, Freeman was left as the only hospital in town. All at once hundreds of lives were left in the hands of these medical professionals.
Kristin Huke was at Freeman Hospital that day. Her nephew, Gunter, was born just before the tornado struck Joplin. Kristin says she had no idea the extent of the storm until she saw the fear in eyes of the people pouring into the hospital doors.
"There was a few people and they had debris and insulation in their hair and on their clothes and they were absolutely freaked out, eyes wide, scared to death but then the injuries were getting worse and worse," says Kristin.
Kristin is an oil painter from Carthage with no medical background.
But that night she helped the 110 doctors and hundreds of nurses on staff, doing whatever she could to assist.
"Nurses were needing supplies and I didnt know where the supply center was until that day and so I was just making runs, getting anything I could. We ended up in the heart wing in the linen closet. I went down and asked the girls at the desk if they had any extra sheets or towels or anything because some of the people that came in needed to be covered up - they were all freezing, shaken up - they just needed something to make them feel warm and safe I think. So we just started going all around the hospital and getting supplies."
Freeman's emergency room was 93% full when the storm hit and officials say they saw 750 patients in a matter of hours.
"I remember the first few patients coming in and realizing how bad it was going to be and taking a deep breath and thinking to myself 'we can do this'", says Paige Neuenswander, an emergency room nurse at Freeman. "You just put everything from earlier in the day in the back of your head and you do what's in front of you and you take care of the patient or person that's there and that's what everybody did."
Two years later, as Kristin walks the empty hallways of Freeman, she can't help but think back to that day, the faces she saw and people she comforted, and is glad she was in the right place to make a differnce.
Freeman hospital officials say doctors performed 22 lifesaving surgeries in 12 hours, with everyone doing their part to help neighbors, friends and strangers.

Vt. man denies horse cruelty chargeThe Associated Press | January 29,2013SHELBURNE - A Shelburne man has pleaded not guilty to one count of animal cruelty after three horses were seized from his home.
Sixty-three-year-old George Wilson, a former newsman at WCAX-TV in South Burlington, says authorities overreacted and he plans to contest the charge.
A stallion and two mares are being cared for at Spring Hill Horse Rescue in Clarendon after officials said the horses were found in small, dark stalls, standing in manure and surrounded by the remains of deceased horses.
A judge on Tuesday dropped a charge against Wilson's wife, 64-four-year-old Ann Gilbreth, saying he could not find probable cause because the police affidavit did not show that she also owned the horses.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryBENNINGTON — A local man was killed in a one-car accident Saturday.

Over the weekend I was watching 2.5 year old Clara while her parents went out to dinner. She is still working on the use of pronouns; I, you, mine, yours. She has it down pretty well, but there are still a lot of third person references, "Clara do it!" or occasional mix-ups in usage. It is interesting to watch her language development from this distance. As someone who sees her maybe a few times a month, it is easier for me to see the leaps in her skills, to be astounded by each new step. And those strides in language come hand in hand with a growing sense of identity, of personal control and purpose.
We were playing a little game of hide and seek. I was sitting on an ottoman in the middle of the room and she would stand behind me. "Where's Clara?" she would ask. I would look high and low, "Is Clara down here? Is she up on the ceiling?" As I pretended to search the room, looking around from my perch, she would jump out and with arms wide proclaim, "Here I am!" If I continued to search, she would become more insistent, "Here I am! Here I am!" until I, too, threw my arms wide and exclaimed, "Oh, there's Clara. There she is!" She would fall into my arms, giggle with delight, look up, and ask, "Do it again?" Back behind me she would hide and I searched again for the elusive Clara.
"Here I am." What a strong sentence. Look at me, see me, know that I exist. But also, here I am. I am a person, an individual. I can control where I am, what I do, and how I think. I can be here, I can be there. But right now, I am standing here, arms wide open, and I want you to see me in all my two year old glory. I want you to find me. Two year olds state the obvious. Here I am. I want to be seen, in fact, I demand to be seen. There is no inhibition in their declaration, no doubt that they are worthy of being recognized. They haven't yet begun to worry that asking to be seen might bring disappointment or rejection. Well-loved two year olds expect that they will be seen, that we all want to see them.
"Here I am." A powerful statement of identity. Simple, direct, unadorned. I might have just dumped out the whole toy box, spilled my milk on the sofa, and pinched my baby brother. But, here I am, see me now, love me. See me for what I am, for who I am. I make mistakes, yet I am perfect. I am here with my hair falling into my eyes, my buttons undone, my nails dirty. This is me, this is who I am. Here I am, my arms are open, my belly peeking out, I'm waiting for you.
"Here I am." An offer. I'm not here only as me, as an individual asking to be seen, but wanting to find you, too. I want to be here for you. I am available, just look my way. I will give you things, hugs and giggly kisses. I will lift your spirits. I will fall into your arms again and again. I will love you, too.

Remember when Mariah Carey painted her pregnant belly with butterflies and tweeted about how happy she was carrying her little twins? It was so cute. But now she's sort of telling a different side of her pregnancy story, and to be honest, it's not cute at all. It's kind of sad. The Grammy winner told Gayle King that she felt like her body looked "rancid" during her gestation and would hide her body from husband Nick Cannon. She went on to say something like it's important to her to be able to feel her bones and she didn't like that she couldn't while she was pregnant.
Feeling her bones? Feeling rancid? Sort of depressing, right?
I feel like pregnancy is one of the coolest, most fascinating parts of, and I'm going to use a big word here, womanhood, and to get so caught up in weight gain and swelling seems like a shame. Mariah said she'd cover herself in the bathtub with a towel so that Nick wouldn't see any part of her beautiful body. And using the word "rancid" seems way critical, too. Like, what did she think she looked like?
Mariah says she lost 70 pounds after giving birth and is now the new Jenny Craig spokeswoman. It's great she's back down to a dress size that makes her happy, it's just too bad that she didn't choose to embrace the changes her body went through during pregnancy and instead shunned them. There was nothing she had to be embarrassed about, yet she felt ashamed.
I feel kind of bad for her that she felt this way during her pregnancy. Sounds like she let her body issues take control and wasn't able to accept the, oh man here comes another cliche, miracle of life. But I guess she's happy -- she's got two adorable babies, a billion dollars in the bank, and she can now feel her bones again. Guess life isn't that bad for Mariah.
Did you think your body looked "rancid" during pregnancy?
Photo via Cindy Ord/Getty
I wouldn't go as far as "rancid" but I'm not going to say I felt all glowing and gorgeous either. Most of the time I felt awkward and off-balance and huge. So I can relate a little bit. But everyone knows Mariah is a drama queen, so I take everything she says with a grain of salt.
I felt so beautiful pregnant! lol I loved it! I was told I was glowing most of the time. Honestly I felt more beautiful then, then I have ever felt.
I think my SIL would probably describe herself that way!! She HATED being pregnant and gaining weight. In fact, three months in to mother-hood, she's complaining that she hasn't lost all of the weight yet.
I wouldn't go with "rancid" either, but I hated my pregnant body and I felt like crap. I finally lost the 40lbs I gained, but my body looks totally different; everything was rearranged. And of my friends, I am not the only one who felt that way.
i did not love being pregnant at all. i wouldn't say my body was "rancid" but not what i was used to at 110 pounds. i lost all the baby weight very quickly but medications that i was on later made me gain almost 40 pounds in 3 months. now that I'm almost back down to my original 110 i have to say, feeling my hip bones is a delight!
Good thing she's rich and can afford her Jenny Craig meals and personal trainer so she can feel her bones again.
I feel her pain. Never have I been more sick or uncomfortable than when I was preggo. I think it is worng that people try to paint pregnancy as a magical time full of flowers and sunshine. Women need to know it's normal to have bad skin, the smell of puke on your breath, spider veins, etc. pregnancy is not glamorous and I dont know why it is being portrayed that way.
Feeling like a heifer is NORMAL!

Daily updates from NZ Fashion Week 2011
The anticipation for Alexandra Owen was keen. Fresh from critical acclaim in New York, the Wellington designer would be styled by uber-stylist Karen Inderbitzen-Waller. In fashion terms, this is an inspired coupling. And the results being played to the home crowd didn't disappoint.
Although Owen has previously proclaimed that she likes to make clothes for women who want to look "feminine but without compromising their dignity", Inderbitzen-Waller added a slightly dark edge by covering the model's heads in sheer headscarves.
Her love of draping was apparent with a simple floor-grazing saffron silk dress that had a "draped, placed and fixed" neckline that extended over the bust.
But the theme of the show was the recurrence of what may well become known as the "Chesterfield sofa effect". Owen made diamond shapes in the fronts of dresses, on pockets, cigarette pants and even red wool coats by catching them with covered buttons. It was enough to transform a simple long-sleeved dress into something else altogether.
Owen certainly has the heart of a couturier, which is coupled with the need to create pieces so intelligent you almost need a degree to wear them. And her show proved those well-schooled in fashion will continue to flock to Alexandra Owen.
Check out the Alexandra Owen catwalk photos here.
Trelise Cooper was in a contemplative mood in the Fashion Week tent, although it may not have seemed like it from the first half of the show that was Cooper by Trelise.
This was the usual mad but endearing pairings of the unexpected that Cooper has made her reputation on. This year combat chic fought it out with animal print in a procession of army-green frilled shorts, cargo pants and a sleeveless puffer with Paddington Bear toggles. Anyone for camo sequins? This was worked with a cacophony of leopard print and even some cute flamingo print. The result was wild and rather adorable.
But things got a lot more serious when, after a short interval where the audience was plunged into darkness, it was obvious Cooper was taking a walk on the ecclesiastical side. The lights came up and there was a beautifully illuminated stained glass window scene straight from a church as the backdrop for the Trelise Cooper part of the show.
She had touchingly dedicated the show to her "beloved father, who passed away in July. I will miss seeing his face and love in the front row" she noted on the printed credits.
There followed a more restrained Trelise; although it didn't quite wander into "get thee to a nunnery" territory, she had certainly done away with the layer-upon-layer outfits of previous years. She'd made stained glass windows out of sequins and used them as tops. Cue choirs of angels.
And black, the mourner's preferred choice of colour, even got more of an outing this year than previously. Fashion Quarterly's pick of the collection was the show-stopping finale bolero made from thousands of black triangles sewn together so that, when the model walked, it had a life of its own. We can't wait to get up-close to it to marvel at its construction.
See the runway photos here.
Dunedin label NOM*d took a detour from the traditional runway show format for their off-site evening presentation at a warehouse in the same complex Zambesi used on Tuesday night. Whether that detour was a success or not depends on who you ask. If you were after a show that would give you a clear idea of what will be on the label's racks next season, you would have been out of luck. But if you are a fan of NOM*d's dark, angsty and multi-layered aesthetic, an arty live reproduction of that very style might be right up your alley.
After acquiring a drink at the sponsor-stocked bar, guests milled near a set which included a dining table laid with candle sticks, the shell of a wrecked car, a spindly tree with bare branches, a mound of river stones and a big brass bed.
After about 20 minutes a lone female wearing what looked in the smoky haze to be a long black dress reminiscent of Victorian mourning attire (put through a grungy NOM*d wringer), hair plastered to her face, began laying cutlery on the table.
Fast forward seven to 10 minutes of the same before she was joined by six other male and female models at the table. All with the same disheveled appearance and wearing layered black outfits paired with chunky white boots, they began going through the motions of a family dinner party. Except this family could have been from a slightly twisted horror film as they laughed manically at random intervals with slightly crazed looks in their eyes. It was strange and unsettling and pretty far from every other fashion show we've ever been to.
The performance went on in the same manner, including an interlude by singer Rebekah Davis. All of this, we gleaned from the press release, was meant to evoke a medieval moment where families faced the threat of war, pestilence and famine, where life is fragile and the angel of death never far from the door.
As for the clothes, of what we could see of them, the long oversized black jumpers knitted in large loops to resemble chain mail and a blue checked shirt were our favourites. The t-shirts printed with skeleton prints will be familiar to the label's fans, as will the box-pleat school skirts, leather accents and harness belts. There appeared to be slightly less deconstructionism and raw edges than usual but we couldn't be completely sure because of the very dark and obstructed view.
See what you think of the NOM*d installation.

Recent 4th Arrondissement Pompidou Le Marais Reviews
There is not much I can add to everything that has already been written--the consistency of the high ratings speaks for itself. This is a wonderful little apartment in the heart of the Merais district. Everything a person (or 2-3-4 people) could want--bakeries, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, boutiques, dry cleaning, Metro, etc.--is either around the corner or a few minutes away. Close to major thoroughfares and bustling sidestreets, yet cozy and secluded (and secure). Laurence was completely gracious and responsive at all times. We look forward to visiting again!
comfortable, well appointed great location
Very comfortable and well equipped. Everything needed to make life easier. I would certainly stay again and will recommend to friends and family. Already have, in fact. It would be nice to have a small table and chairs for the outdoors but perhaps that is not allowed.
Charming and comfortable in a great location!
The apartment was exactly as described and pictured, with a nicely equipped kitchen, two balconies with great views, and a large (for Paris) main room with a reasonably comfortable fold-out sofa bed. The apartment was very clean, and Andre was easy to work with. We used the elevator more than we expected, as six flights of stairs after a day tromping around Paris doesn't always sound appealing. The space is perfect for two people... small, but not at all cramped. If you've not booked an apartment in Paris before, be warned that the bathroom is impossibly small, but that's to be expected. I'm 6-foot-3 (190cm) and it was a squeeze... my wife fared better. We'd certainly consider staying here again, and definitely recommend it to others! Thank you, Andre.

NAIA softball All-Americans
It's the second year in a row for Johnson who led the NAIA in wins this season and fell one win shy of tying the NAIA record for wins in a season. Perkins eclipsed the previous NAIA single season home run record with 23 this season, and currently holds the all-time second most home runs in the NAIA for a single season. Bailey shattered the Trevecca record for stolen bases in a season and set the record for hits in a season as well.

"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream." Did you know that today is national ice cream day. Thanks to President Ronald Reagan the month of July is designated National Ice Cream Month and the 3rd Sunday in July is National Ice Cream Day. I used to be very sensitive to dairy at a younger age, but as I have gotten older I am able to tolerate it better. The one thing I could never give up was ice cream. I'm the girl who would rather get ice cream on a date than a fancy dinner! One of my favorite things to do in the summer is make homemade ice cream.
I remember being a little girl and helping my dad hand churn our White Mountain Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker that used rock salt and ice. It took a lot of time and muscle but there really is no better reward than a bowl of homemade ice cream. We don't have our White Mountain machine anymore, but one day I would love to get another one. Thankfully, I have an amazing Cuisinart machine that has become my summer bff. I love that it comes with two bowls so you can make a double batch or two flavors at once. One day I will share a favorite recipe, but I just haven't had time to take pictures before my ice cream melted. I am really lagging behind in the photography part of this blog- it isn't my strong suit haha.
For those of you that don't have time to make your own I wanted to share with you my favorite new discovery:
Jeni's Spendid Ice Cream. This is some of the best and most innovative ice cream I have ever tasted! Jeni Bauer makes all her ice cream using only the highest quality, local ingredients, and grass-fed whole fat milk and cream. I love her hand-labeled pints. She has an online shop where you can order different ice cream collections and bring as a party favor or just give the gift of an insanely delicious pint of ice cream to a friend. If you can't tolerate ice-cream Jeni also has a collection of sorbet. I just found out she has a homemade ice cream book that I am wanting to order and add to my growing cookbook collection. I think ice cream really is one of the best American indulgences!

Fort Washakie, Wyo. • A 4.9 magnitude earthquake jolted much of western Wyoming on Saturday, but no damage was reported.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
John Bellini, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo., says the temblor occurred at 7:16 a.m. about 45 miles underground. The nearest city is Fort Washakie, about 9 miles east of the epicenter.
Bellini says "it was felt widely in western Wyoming, but this is too deep of an earthquake to cause any damage. ... A lot of people might have felt something but they wouldn't know what they felt because it woke them up."
The area west of Yellowstone National Park experiences a handful of earthquakes a year.

Autumn Mantel
September 14, 2012
I've been loving the cool temps over the past few days, have you? For me, there's no transition time once September hits. A switch goes off in my head that says "Fall, Fall, Fall". Thankfully I haven't dug out the sweaters yet, BUT I did gather some decor for my newest mantel for the coming season. Autumn is almost here and after sharing a fun roundup of Fall Fireplace Mantels earlier this week, I'm ready to reveal mine. But before we begin, I have a confession to make...

Even though the ranch was isolated for those who lived there, it was in the perfect location for Link whenever he felt the calling of a warm meal and a good song.
The Lon Lon Ranch photoshoot takes place in Clovis, CA, and was an undertaking of epic proportion. On top of the crew driving around 500 miles round trip, the model for Link trained in western horseback riding for six months, the photos were shot over the course of a two day period, a custom costume for the horse was made to look like Epona, the model for Malon sustained a head injury and had to visit the E.R. (see the video below), and the backgrounds for the images were composited and constructed using a combination of existing backgrounds, and Photoshop elements by the talented digital matte painter Mickael Forrett.
The Lon Lon Ranch Behind The Scenes
A full Behind-The-Scenes video will be posted once the shoot has been completely released!

Green Is the New Black This Halloween
Guest blogger Tula Jeng: Give the Earth more treats and fewer tricks this Halloween by burying the old habit of using disposable trick-or-treat bags. Instead of purchasing spooky, molded plastic jack-o-lanterns or paper treat totes, why not look for unique, durable and eco-friendly candy carriers that can be reused and reanimated year after year?
It's easy to repurpose an old pillowcase with pumpkin appliqués and patches like mama used to do. Or, perhaps you'd like to test your slip-knot skills and crochet a ghoulish goodie bag. Whichever your poison, you'll rest in peace knowing that your little one is lugging their loot in an Earth-friendly sack.
However, if DIY isn't your bag, we've conjured up some bewitchingly sustainable totes for your waste-weary witches and warlocks. Constructed primarily from independent designers and crafters, many of these goodie bags are limited editions, so act fast before these treats cross over into the Otherworld.
1. Halloween Spider Purse ($5)
2. Dancing Spiders Trick-or-Treat Bag ($18)
3. Halloween Trick-or-Treat Satchel ($14.99)
4. Trick-or-Treat Bag with Ghost Appliqué ($13)
5. Haunted House Trick-or-Treat Bag ($20)
6. Devil Cat Bag ($27.95)
7. Chico Bag "Go Green this Halloween" Bag with carrying pouch ($4.95)
8. Black Kitty Felt Bag ($7)
9. Bertie the Bat Tote Bag ($37)
10. Treat Bag Crochet Pattern Pack ($7.99)
Tula Jeng is a Los Angeles-based writer and creator of the eccentrically inspirational design blog WHORANGE.
These are great. I love the big spider bag!
Oh, these are soooo cute! I love the idea of reusing the bags. Seems like such a waste otherwise. Plus, these seem much more durable, which prevents my daughter's candy from spilling all over the sidewalk like last year!
Various people in all countries take the credit loans from different creditors, because it is comfortable and fast.

Dificult One (try To Make Gantt Chart In EXCEL)
Hi to all,
In first place congratulations for the excellent forum that you have.
I have a doubt that I don't now if it's possible to solve with EXCEL, but I would like to try. So what I want is similar to a Gantt chart, in sheet one I have a group of values that have a beginning time and a end time.
In column B and C I have the name of several flights (column B name of company, column C number of the flight), in column D I have the beginning time, in column E the end time, in column F I have numbers that indicates how many check-in I need for each flight.
In sheet 2 I have 6 groups (A, B, C, D, E and F) that represent the total of check-in desk. I have made a little example in this sheet, in a way that you guys can understand what I want and try to help me if possible.
You guys can see that for the last flight that I represent I have 2 empty check-in (23 and 24) in group A, that happens because the flight LK 300 need 3 check-in desk and they have to be contiguous, in other words they have to stay all in the same group, they can't stay 2 in one group and 1 in other group.
I don't now if this is possible to do automatically in EXCEL, so if you guys can give a help I really appreciate.
Best regards,
UI Help: Gantt Chart.
Ok, basically what I am trying to do is display a graph... but I am not sure how to make it look the way I want. I am doing some work on a scheduling application which is being moved from qbasic to visual basic. The qbasic program uses 80x50 mode 0 display, and uses the filled box and half filled box characters to create a chart showing overlapping hours (commonly known as a Gantt chart). In other words, the time of day is displayed along the top of the screen, the employees name on the left, and a bar to show what time they work. I would like to reproduce this effect on visual basic, with the data coming from an access database. The data has already been moved and I'm using data-bound controls to edit it in the program, so all that really remains is to add the graphic. So basically I just need to turn the stored data (times) into bars on the screen, and posistion them nicely. Before I do a whole lot of graphics coding, thought I would make sure there wasn't some control that does this . The other consideration is that the whole thing probably can't be on the screen at the same time, so I'll need to make it scrollable.
Thanks everyone.
Gantt Chart
[color=darkblue] How do I draw gantt charts based on numbers I enter at runtime ? If I type 2, 3 and 6, the chart should show a horizontal bar 2, 3 and 6, and also display the "2" "3" and "6" inside the bar.

Developing A Gantt Chart-print How
I have been developing a Gantt program and have the load/save etc, reordering, entry, delete, and other parts or the shell around the data. I have been wondering about what control would be best to hold the bars in order to print. Currently I have a frame holding dummy bars with labels outside the frame. I am not too far along in the graphic display area and can change to a picture box or other control before I commit the time to find out it was a poor choice. I did not find much on user document (must be mostly web).
I plan to use the line control, color, and if line width=1, a linetype. Too bad this is a limitation. Depending on how many entries the user has and the time scale zoom, this could have quite a few pages to print. Suggestions to get graphic data to the printer?

Need To Make A Speedometer Chart
Hi all, I am a newcomer to VB and don't really know what I am doing. I am trying to make a speedometer to visualise data from an excel spreadsheet. For example, if cell in excel reads 86% then the needle points to 86 on the dial.
I have made one using doughnut graphs and found one made with scatter graphs but my boss wants it to look fancier and the needle to be smooth running rather than jump to numbers.
I can create the dial and the needle no problem, but cannot get the needle to move. Is it possible, if so can some one please help me!
Thank you.

Make Treevew Act Like Pedigree Chart
Good day
I've been trying to make the Treeview control work more like a pedigree chart. Currently, every child node of the treeview goes UNDER the parent node. For a Pedigree chart, some child nodes go above and some go below.
The best example of this type of chart is a family tree only rather tha going from the top down, one would go from left to right. The parent node would be centered vertically and then one child node (the father) would go above this node and to the right, and the other child node (the mother) would go below this node and also to the right. Each child (well, actually parent ) node would have similar mother and father nodes going above and below.
Is this possible with the treeview or does anyone know of any other way to accomplish this?
Many Thanks
- Shaun
How Can I Make A Chart (jpg) In Batch Without Excel
i'm having the following problem:
i have a VB6 program that makes an HTML document which contains a chart. The chart is made by making an excel document and chart. This excel document is then exported to a html document. This works fine but the program has to function on a server which doesn't have excel. Also this program is supposed to run in batch (no visualisation in VB6, no forms).
Does anyone has any idea how to solve this problem?
If i can make a chart in jpg format based on data that is stored in a db, i can put that in a html template.

Gantt OCX
I'm looking for a Gantt Chart Add-In to be used with VB6. Previously used GanttOCX but this is a few years old now so I was hoping someone could recommend a new one!
It needs to be able to read data from an Access database.
Thank you.
Gantt In SQL
So I have 4 (relevant) fields in a table
Candidate_ID | Program_ID | Start_Date | End_Date
1 | 10 | 29/01/04 | 28/07/04
2 | 20 | 29/01/04 | 28/04/04
I now want to display this information on a 12 month, rolling gantt chart type format e.g.
Program_ID | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | ...etc
10 | 1 | 1 | 1 ------> and on to July
20 | 2 | 2 | 2 ------> and on to April
I want to be able to supply a single date parameter, the SQL should use this date as the starting month of the recordset. The above example is convenient in that the dates are within the same year, obviously the correct solution will handle periods which span 2 different years!
I've been playing with crosstabs, unions and all sorts of convoluted ideas. The last time I did this was with some involved code, but I'm convinced that I've overlooked a simple SQL solution. Unfortunately I've confused myself so efficiently in tha last day that I thought some fresh perspective might be a good idea

Help! Searching For Gantt.OCX
Can any one help me in locating an ActiveX control? I have been searching the web for a Gantt.ocx. I'm fairly new with ocxs so not sure what I'm getting into.

I have downloaded a demo model of phGantt from plexityHide but have not been able to make it work with my database tables from Visual Basic 6. I will continue to work with it but wonder if someone else has a better idea...
Does any one have any suggestions?

Connection From Scratch - Help
Hey guys & gals...
I've been having one helluva time connecting my program (Vb 6.0) to an Access database.
The connection worked perfectly for months and then all of a sudden crapped out. So I'm trying to re-create it from scratch using the same methods that worked before.
I have an ODBC connection to the Access file called "PHYSDAT".
There IS a password for this database, but I have entered it into the ODBC connection.
So all I should have to do is have VB hit this ODBC connection.
In VB I have the following connection string to connect to my ODBC connection...
PhysDat.Open "Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source = PhysDat"
It's giving me an error saying "Provider Cannot be Found. It may not be properly installed". This worked fine before.
What can I do here to fix this?
I've re-installed MDAC and still.....this error!

Derivatives H.W. Implementation Scratch
Hi there,
I am not sure about the calculated interest rate values as the chart "calibration" shows a zick-zack outline which might be caused by the mean-reversion. Does the chart look ok or is the chart result a strange one?
Unfortunately I am not a finance expert. If you notice anything completely strange referring to the calculation (I know that the code is horrible :-( 1st VBA project) pls. let me know.
The implementation is based on:
- Hull, J.; White, A. (1996): "Using Hull-White Interest-Rate Trees" Journal of Derivatives.
- Hull, J.; White, A (1994): "Numerical Procedures for Implementing Term Structure Models I: Single-Factor Models" The Journal of Derivatives.
Thank you very much!!!
pls open the filethe data you see is from a previous calculationto start a new calcualtion, press "clear" and "start"to manipulate the calculation, you can change the values of the yellow fields in the "input" section ("periods" and "expansion")

Connecting To Oracle From Scratch
I was hoping to get some help on the following (which is more based on the db and not as much on vb)
1) There is a remote server running Oracle 9i
2) I'm trying to create a VB gui to just accomplish simple queries and such to this server.
3) I know how to use ADo and connection strings and such to connect to a server (i've never actually used an oracle server, just local ms access and all that needs to change as far as vb code would be the ocnnection string (i believe))
4) I've tried to find what i'm looking for on the net but i'm even more confused now as i've read about tons of buzzwords...
Ok the question: What exactly do I need to install to be able to connect to the server. ODBC drivers, some sort of oracle client installer? etc. etc. That's the problem i'm having and I can't seem to find it. I don't think i can get access to the client installer or what not, so if that is the case is how would I accomplish this?
Any help would be great, thanks.

Best Practices When Engaging Independent Contractors
Our clients often ask for a few general tips when engaging their independent contractors (ICs). With this in mind, here are five essential steps to getting this done correctly:
First, you should have a written agreement that defines a specific deliverable and defines the end of the project. The deliverables should be measureable, ideally with dates for completion and metrics to determine if the project was successful. The agreement should leave the means and methods to achieve those deliverables to the contractor.
Second, do not supervise the contractor. You probably engaged the contractor because s/he is an expert with abilities you did not have within your business, so leave the contractor alone to do the job the best way s/he sees fit. You should only be concerned with the final product you agreed to, at the price you agreed to, and within the time frame you agreed to. How the contractor gets there is his/her concern.
Third, you are safer if you engage a contractor who already has an established business. Ideally, the contractor should have a corporation and is an employee of that corporation. If so, you should contract with the contractor's corporation to complete the project, not the individual. All payments should also be made to the corporation. Let the corporation pay and properly report any taxes due on wages and such. Also, you want your IC to have other clients that are not connected to your business. Your IC should be actively marketing to win new clients. You do not want the consultant to be financially dependent on you.
Next, when the job is completed, as agreed in the contract, you have to end the working relationship. Do not fall into the trap of using a contractor for a series of jobs that go on and on because it can lead to a misclassification. If you really want to keep this individual for a long term project, you should consider better ways to do it.
Finally, don't fall for the "same work different title" trap. Many businesses act on bad advice and convert their former employees to ICs by simply changing titles to "independent contractor" and telling the workers they must pay their own expenses and taxes, when in reality nothing substantial has changed in the working relationship. Many civil suits, and even more tax audits, are spawned this way.
To navigate successfully through the worker classification jungle you need an expert to guide you. For hiring managers, the rule of thumb is to be proactive in protecting their companies when engaging contingent workers — both employees and ICs.

Each piece makes a statement while featuring moisture-wicking technology, an aloe vera fabric finish and 360° stretch. A fine knit construction provides a smooth, lightweight surface.
LympheDIVAs will donate $10 from every sleeve, $5 from every gauntlet and $15 from the sale of every set to benefit LBBC's annual C4YW.
