text: do you say "Oh, well that part of the science is wrong."? Science is undoubtedly getting closer to the beginning every day. Yesterday, we learned that the Sun does not revolve around the Earth. Today, we're studying the cosmic background and far away objects in order to look back in time. Tomorrow, we will be studying the Big Bang (or equivalent) itself. Every day we look deeper into the biology of our own species and of countless other species. We find connections between all forms of life and study the things that make us different (and the events that triggered the differences between species). At what point do you say "Oh, well that's just bad science. Scientists all lunatics anyway." Is it when you point your telescope at the sky and track the motions of the Sun relative to the Earth? Do you deny the fact that the Earth can be directly proven to be revolving around the Sun? Is it when a biologist identifies the gene that separates humans from apes? At what point does one fail to see what is before their very eyes? When does one decide to look away, to look to the past, to before the existence of the aggregate of knowledge that is science and logic? Why does one cling so adamantly to religion?

I am not a psychiatrist but it seems pretty obvious that Neil has adult adhd. I hope he gets help. He is obviously intelligent and creative, but it seems like his life hasn't started while the lives of the other participants are winding down.

Being 10 years younger than the films' subjects and growing up in Western Europe before spending most of my adult life in NYC, I have a very special place in my heart for this series. I have followed it since my teenage years and now I feel fortunate that I get to share it with my American children, who even at age 10 are surprisingly observant and insightful.
Watching the series of documentaries together with my children and older American husband on Netflix has sparked much spirited discussion, not only about class, education, race and differences between the US and Europe, but also about personal responsibility, discipline, personality differences and politics in the US and England. What a ride it has been! We are up to age 42 now. Can't wait to go see 56 up in the theater next week with my family!

The sight of the seven-year-olds hit me like a shock of electricity when I realized that they were children about the same age as the children in Connecticutt whose lives were so horrifically stopped.
After that, I could not form any thoughts around a film that shows the continuation of the lives of the children in the documentary. I had formed a shell protecting me from mourning the little ones and fully realizing the tragedy of the shootings. The shell was shattered by the sight of these children shown in the film.

I've not missed an episode. It's fascinating seeing these children become adults, deal with Life (or not), marry, have children, enter middle age. Fascinating, watching someone else do it!

I have loved them all from 56 up back to the first one 7 UP, when all the kids were adorable, hopping around and being KIDS! SURELY to an American viewer the CLASS DIVIDE was not suspect, nor familiar, even, which surely we found out makes all the difference as to where these kids were headed, and where exactly they were going to be schooled. I will say, though, that not all the characters are interesting, or particularly engaging this year or 7 yrs ago, doing this job or that...I was struck this time that many of the the 'actors,.were really boring! Surely the editing job is unique to each, and even if the women emerge as the more vivacious ones all told, and Tony keeps his sense of mischief alive ( even in realtime as he came along to 'play' court jester as well as to introduce the film, one ends up questioning the continued task of documenting the lives of all the characters...maybe a few should be allowed to sail away, and NOT face the cameras. What I find ironic, is that most of the group doesn't really evolve, nor question the passage if time and their role in society, home, country. Sorry, but they have turned boring beyond expectation. Period. Let them go! Mr. Upted

Watching these people from childhood on brought home how very hard it is to be young. Most of them were quite miserable in their twenties, began settling down and/or divorcing in their 30s, but didn't seem to find much peace until their 40s. Now in my 60s, I can look back and see that this was true for me too.

I adore these films. They embody everything we know to be true about how people move through their lives. It shows how everyone has echoes of their upbringing in their daily doings, and how truly human and knowable even the loftiest of us actually is. My bucket list? To simply shake the hand of each of the "kids" and thank each one for sticking with this. The perfect antidote for what passes for reality television.

Being born in 1955, and raised in Northern Ireland, I can relate to a lot of the feelings and situations in this documentary. I was fortunate to recieve the entire series in DVD as a gift from my son and daughter and they have become huge fans. It took a move to Canada to shed the UK class system and an open education system to allow me to become a Principal at an Elementary School. When I return to visit NI, I see the class system is still alive and well. It is not what you know but who you know. There is still a lot of mutual back stratching. North America can pride itself on being the land of opportunities. You can be all you want to be and unlike the UK system - you value success! My Irish family still tell me how "lucky" I am - funny that, the harder I work, the luckier I get! This is an excellent documentary so my next question - when is it coming to Canada?

Can't wait to see this! There have been other films with a similar premise in other countries. The South Africa version is available on Netflix. While the filming and editing of the South Africa series doesn't make it as appealing as the UK version, it's a fascinating look at the lives of children who grew up during apartheid.

Of course social mobility in the US is even lower than in the UK. For example, rate of the persistence of poverty was far higher in the US at 42% as against 30% in the UK. And so forth. With the rags-to-riches version of mobility (apologies to "The Huffington Post") etc., showing "All of these studies have drawn the same conclusion, that the United States has lower, not higher, mobility than other wealthy countries." Not what American's tend to believe, but belief doesn't make it real.
While I grew up with a blue collar, Royal Air Force NCO father, but went to a "Russell Group" UK "Ivy" league school via the scholarship system, but still a "red bricker" rather than an Oxbridge type, I certainly found barriers to mobility. Although much less in my home region than southern England.
However education did allow one to meet people at all different levels socially and while people in a similar position to myself, would say it's only possible to move one strata, a generation. I and a couple of other friends married up substantially and certainly that opened doors.
But then we moved to the States and as educated Caucasian European professionals I don't see any barriers her in the US for the most part, save for the odd crazy US "blue Blood". The barrier is getting that education in the first place, or I guess making a pile of money would also work.

I can only say that the paucity of reviews for this latest "Up" illustrates perfectly how few people have followed this remarkable series. I guess they're too busy texting, watching some iteration of Kardashian or lost in any of a plethora of other mindless activities too inane to mention. How unfortunate. Good news, I guess, is that the theater won't be crowded.

I love this series. It beats reality TV by miles, and normal documentaries, too. If you haven't already, go rent the first 7 on Netflix. The subjects are about 10 years older than I am. It is fascinating to see how they weather the storms of life. They are so gracious to continue! These folks are normal people just being themselves and living the best way they can. The series illustrates both that you never know where life can take you, and that all people have ups and downs. Mostly, you just root for them.

I have been watching this series for years, usually on PBS, and am looking foward to seeing this most recent installment. I may not be able to wait for it on PBS and have to go down and see it in the theater.
I think it's interesting they had a photo of Bruce Balden in the review. As I recall, he is the boy who grew up on a farm, did very well in the scientific area at Cambridge, then left England for a better opportunity at either the U of Michigan or Wisconsin. He also struck me as the one who, as an adult, seemed most fully integrated in society and most rid of English class stuff. It will be interesting to see where and how he is now.
I think they should consider giving Michael Apted a special lifetime achievement Oscar, as this is a case where it has really been a lifetime's undertaking and achievement.

I have loved this series since its inception. At the time I was married to an English woman in NYC. She had her take on the English class system. She was a daughter of the clergy and was able to attend on scholarship a girls "public" school in London. She did not graduate college but came to the US in the sixties and progressed in jobs that normally called for a college degree. She attributes the ability to do that because of an "upper" education which produced an appearance of a very well bred and of higher social class and monied background. I was not as fortunate being brought up by in lower socio economic circumstances to immigrant parents of a not favored Hispanic background. However, I was able to go to a state school, enter into the Navy as an officer, go to MBA graduate school, and work for 2 Fortune 500 companies and also smaller companies. I retired comfortably and as my ex wife knew, we were able to "advance" in the American school system because of education. We, to a degree in our talks felt we were "fakes" in a system that rewarded career and education that exceed the backgrounds we were born into. My ex often said, that without the ability to go to her girls school on scholarship her life would have been immensely different either in England or the US. In my experience, while I met many mostly men who had a leg up not because of overall intelligence or ability but because of what I perceived as a "leg" up by schools attended and family background. With many of these types I was introduced into the world of country clubs and homes of more than three bedrooms in higher end communities that I had only read about. Being born with a lucky gene really does help.

Over the years, I've shown this series to a number of my students, who are invariably moved by it. They become so invested in the subjects, eager to find out how they're doing in the next installment. Can't wait to see the new version. I feel like I've grown up with the "Up" crowd.

Well, Walt Jocketty showed up to baseball's 2012 Winter Meetings, so there's that. Nothing of note really happened at Opryland Hotel in Nashville, concerning the Cincinnati Reds though. Don't be discouraged however. Last year after the winter meetings, Jocketty was able to acquire Mat Latos, Sean Marshall, and Ryan Ludwick who were all key pieces in 2011. Here's a recap of everything we pretty much know so far. The biggest news would be that the Reds and Ludwick continued to maintain contact regarding his return to the club next year. Ludwick currently holds an offer from the Reds, which John Fay has speculated to be somewhere around $13 or $14 million for two years. While it was once reported that the Reds were very close to closing the deal earlier this week, it is now believed that Ludwick is still not entirely sure with other figures that have been thrown at him from other teams, as well as the money other outfielders have received.

to our graduates on this momentous day of celebration."
Highly regarded as an expert on Virginia Government and politics, Secretary Morris

Professor X Expounds
With an extraordinary cast that seems to grow every week (Game Of Thrones' Peter Dinklage being the latest addition), hopes are splendidly high that director Bryan Singer can produce another worthy instalment to the X-Men franchise he began in 2000.
With Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen returning in a dual time narrative, James McAvoy, who plays the young Professor X, has admitted that he won't be sharing any screen time with his older self.
"It'd be cool, but I don't think [Patrick Stewart and I] get any scenes together, sadly. I don't think there's any future self talking to past self."
Of course, several of the returning cast members have confessed that they have signed on to Singer's film without seeing a finished script, so perhaps we may yet see a temporal talk between Professors.
Though Singer may not want to put all his X's in one basket.

I'm actually crying right now, for real.
Today, March 1st, is Self-Injury Awareness Day.
Myth: People who cut and self-injure are trying to get attention.
Fact: The painful truth is that people who self-harm generally do so in secret. They aren't trying to manipulate others or draw attention to themselves. In fact, shame and fear can make it very difficult to come forward and ask for help.
Myth: People who self-injure are crazy and/or dangerous.
Fact: It is true that many people who self-harm suffer from anxiety, depression, or a previous trauma—just like millions of others in the general population. Self-injury is how they cope. Slapping them with a "crazy" or "dangerous" label isn't accurate or helpful.
Myth: People who self-injure want to die.
Fact: Self-injurers usually do not want to die. When they self-harm, they are not trying to kill themselves—they are trying to cope with their pain. In fact, self-injury may be a way of helping themselves go on living. However, in the long-term, people who self-injure have a much higher risk of suicide, which is why it's so important to seek help.
Myth: If the wounds aren't bad, it's not that serious.
Fact: The severity of a person's wounds has very little to do with how much he or she may be suffering. Don't assume that because the wounds or injuries are minor, there's nothing to worry about.
I just was forced to spend 5 days in a pysc ward after admitting to an ER person that I had a history of self injury on top of my depression/anxiety. If anyone wants to talk or share experiences my ask box/formspring is open: www.formspring.me/MissMandy07

In the days following Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon, it was not difficult to find sounds and images from around the sports world that attempted to offer heartfelt support and consolation to our staggered city.
Two that stood out among the sympathetic gestures: The Canadiens' decision to turn down the lights for a moment of silence before their game with the Flyers Monday night. And the symbolic gesture of playing of "Sweet Caroline'' after the third inning at Yankee Stadium (among others around Major League Baseball) Tuesday night.

Let's take a look at a British surfer may have set a world record for riding a wave that dwarfs those we saw at the Mavericks Invitational suft contest this year.
Andrew Cotton rode a wave off the coast of Portugal that was believed to be 98-feet tall in the face or crest to trough (SNN: but tell me...where IS the trough?).
Residing in Croyde, South West, United Kingdom, big wave surfer Andrew Cotton often ventures across his homeland border to hunt down massive swells. This time, the giant, unruly surf at Nazaré brought 'Cotty' to Portugal on February 2, 2014. Media outlets around the world are buzzing with estimates of how large the wave actually was, possibly 78-80 ft, and questioning its possible 'world record breaking' status. (SNN: 'who' came up with 78-80?).
Cotton's wave at Nazaré was entered into the Billabong XXL Big Wave Awards as a ' 2014 Ride of the Year' entry. Lucky for us, filmer Jose Pedro Gomes captured it all for your viewing pleasure:
Now, lets go back to Carlos' Behemoth below which, in our estimation, is in the same near 100' realm. But Carlos gets a smooth wave and goes deeper and straightens out and falls. Andrew gets a bumpier, heavier one but angles towards safety and falls.
Which guy would you 'give the nod' to for 'heaviest'? for biggest? In our estimate Andrews wave is the bigger, heavier, meaner wave. But Carlos gets the nod for performance.
Make it or not...these are thee biggest waves anyone's ever surfed. Frankly, we dont quite get why some dudes down play these men and what they accomplished. The unknown realm will take some getting used to. At least they've entered the arena.
Notes: Photo's of the Waves at Nazarene are taken from on high giving the already GIANT wave an even bigger look as the trough is so long and flat and deceiving. The wave is so complex esp at this size that one wave will jack and re jack making it tough to estimate maximum peak cresting. Surfers may or may not be 'in the zone' when this occurs.
Carlos' wave starts at 2:50 in the vid.

The Jakartan Glow
The hotel we're staying at is quite fantastic--full-service-type, gym, spa, hair salon, "mini-mall," excellent service, etc. All our meals are taken care of. For dinner, we were taken to a gigantic sea food restaurant, packed with people, more than a thousand, maybe two. You pick your own food from the tanks and tell the chefs how to prepare it. I ate some of the best calamari I've ever had. Jakarta is a strange city, crazy with traffic, jammed with more people than could possibly have room to live. The sky above Jakarta has this ominous and surreal silver-gray glow, something like what I imagine William Gibson was trying to evoke with his famous first line of Neuromancer: "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." This Jakartan glow is borne from spectacular amounts of air pollution. The effect is eerie and also beautiful, especially when you see several looming gray skyscrapers hovering above you in the murk and gloom.

This cat's out of the bag
Cat's '07 C-15 prowled up and down some serious grades with nothing more than a purr.
Truckers who rely on their big, yellow diesels won't see much difference between the 2007 lower-emission engines and previous models.
That's what Caterpillar claims. To find out for myself if this is so, I took one on a test drive up and down some serious Illinois grades.
"The '07 engines have the same reliability and performance that our customers expect and have always got from us," says CAT spokesman Jason Phelps.
And what about fuel economy?
"Fuel mileage is expected to be the same, depending on the fuel's British thermal unit content, application, proper gearing and other factors," says Caterpillar Customer Service Manager Robert Keene.
Caterpillar invited me to its Mossville, Ill. plant, just north of Peoria, in October. After a morning lecture and plant tour, Phelps, Keene and I went to the test vehicle – a 2000 Kenworth T2000 with a 550-horsepower 2007 C-15 boasting 1850 pounds-feet of torque at about 1,200 rpm, a nine-speed Eaton-Fuller transmission, 3.25 rears and 22.5 LP tires. The T2000 was hooked to a 53-foot dry van partially loaded with gravel. Gross weight was 76,800 pounds.
My guides explained that the T2000 had held several different engines, and some fit its frame better than others. But when building their '07 models, truck OEMs will spec' the frame to fit the engine, and each OEM will mount the exhaust system's diesel particulate filter differently.
The '07 C-15 was a snug fit in the test truck's frame, and Cat technicians had mounted the DPF on the passenger side just aft of the door. The exhaust stacks were not new and showed some corrosion inside.
I rubbed a finger inside one stack. On any other truck my finger would've come out black with soot, but this time it came out clean. That's because the '07 power units comply with the EPA's emissions law for on-highway diesel engines: 1.2 grams nitric oxide/nitrogen dioxide (NOx) and .01 grams particulate matter (PM) per braking horsepower, and sulfur at 15 ppm.
NOx is formed by diesel fuel's combustion at the high temperatures and pressures typical of pre-'07 diesel engines. Cat addresses this with its proprietary, pre-'07 ACERT technology fuel system and by cooling the intake air and replacing part of its oxygen with non-combustible gas from the engine's clean gas induction system.
"More oxygen means higher combustion temperature," Keene says. "The CGI takes PM-free, non-combustible gas from the exhaust down-flow of the diesel particulate filter, cools it in a water jacket and sends it through the turbo chargers and air cooler and into the engine."
Cat's hydraulic variable valve actuation also addresses NOx. "It reduces NOx and improves fuel economy on the inlet side and provides optimal compression brake horsepower on the outlet side," Keene says, adding that the C-15 has 600 braking horsepower at 2,000 rpm.
Cat's self-regenerating DPF, about the size and weight of the muffler it replaces, handles the particulate matter pollution. "Particulate matter is all hydrocarbons from incompletely combusted fuel and engine oil that gets past the rings," Keene says. Cat's DPF absorbs all PM. At maximum absorption, the DPF oxidizes the diesel fuel PM via a high-heat chemical reaction so only carbon dioxide and water exit the exhaust. Harder-working engines make enough heat to cause the reaction. In cooler-running engines the DPF automatically oxidizes diesel PM buildup with a small injection of diesel fuel: a few ounces "at most maybe every other week," Keene says. "Either way, the driver will never know it's happening," he says, and the amount of fuel used is negligible.

Too expensive and too far from downtown CuscoPosted Apr 16, 2014
We were a family of four and staid in two interconnecting rooms. The hotel staff was very helpful but this could not compensate for the distance to downtown Cusco. Also, while Cusco is expensive, the price was too high for what we got.

Peaceful, beautiful HotelPosted Jun 19, 2013
Pros: everything!
Cons: It's perfect
This hotel is a little off the beaten path. It's a 15 min cab ride to the main plaza. That said, it is one of the loveliest places we've stayed in a long time. I recommend it highly. The sisters, Doris and Ceci were both lovely and took great care of us. The room was large (really a suite), clean and comfortable. We had an issue with PeruRail and Ceci helped us figure it out. Doris took us in to town with her on the first day, and showed us where to go to eat and shop. They even gave us a cell phone programmed with the hotel number, so we could call when we wanted them to send a cab for us. A great place to stay!

AmazingPosted Dec 31, 2012 on Hotels.com
Our stay at The Garden House couldn't of been any more perfect. The House itself is beautiful, big, homey, comfortable and clean. The rooms are very generous in size and the gardens impeccable. Breakfast was great but most of all the service went beyond any of our expectations. Ceceilia and her sister Dorris provided the most heartwarming service - when I fell ill they did everything they could to help and in general were incredibly helpful booking us last minute tours, calling restaurants for bookings and providing us with a local mobile so that any question (or taxi service) can be answered at any time. The location is slightly out of the city centre but is only a $4US taxi fare one way so in my opinion was more than reasonable in relation to the comfort and service provided. Definitely recommend.

Perfect hidden retreat in a busy cityPosted May 12, 2012
Perfect hidden retreat in a busy city. The hosts welcomed us with open arms after a very long trek along the Inca Trail! Exhausted, starving and needing a shower badly, the owner went out of her way to make us grilled cheeses so we didn't have to go to bed hungry. In the morning our breakfast was perfect! The owner called us a cab and suggested places to hang in Cusco before flying back to the states. A great place to stay we were sad we had to leave so soon! But we will be back!

The only place to stay in Cusco!Posted Dec 20, 2011

The Garden House, CuscoPosted Dec 3, 2011 on Hotels.com
We, 7 of us, ran out of hot water and had to schedule showers. I could not figure out how to run the heater (no thermostats) at night so was cold. The mattresses were hard. Three of us had to change rooms the last night to accomodate an incoming pair of people. Too far away from the action in the Cusco square at night. The best part was the service of the 2 owners who were very helpful with arrangements for tours and restaurants. Fortunately, we were only there to sleep and have breakfast.

Great Place but location not for mePosted Jan 2, 2011 on Hotels.com
The hotel is wonderful and the owners are delightful. Really nice place! Garden Hotel is great for those people who want to be outside the city and remote... there isn't anything to do within walking distance to the hotel. For me, a single traveler preparing for Inca Trail, it was not a convenient location. There were several hotels in the square as nice, cheaper that probably would have been easier for me, especially as I was a single traveler.

Loved The Garden House, CuscoPosted Nov 30, 2009
We stayed in the 2-bedroom suite which was very comfortable for the 3 of us. The rooms were clean, the bathroom was spacious with plenty of HOT water for showers. The yard was beautifully kept with the roses & flowers in bloom. Our hostess was extremely helpful in many ways, she also helped to serve us a delicious breakfast every morning. The hotel is a very cozy place to stay with very friendly staff & clean rooms. It's a little drive to the city's main center, however if you don't mind being away from the crowds & traffic, I'd highly recommend this hotel.

If you or your friend uses Google Chrome, this trick is just for you because it was written to work with Chrome. However, it is also possible to duplicate the trick on Opera and on Firefox little bit hard but if you follow my instructions then you can do. We will see how to do that, but first, let start with Chrome.
Trick for Google Chrome
First, open this location from C: drive which is depends on the operating system used by them.
For Windows:-
open C:/Users/YourUsername/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/User StyleSheets
In windows for some security reason you can't find AppData folder because its hidden so you have to check Show hidden folders option from Folder Option and then you can see AppData folder.
For Mac:-
open ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/User StyleSheets
For Ubuntu:-
open ~/.config/chromium/Default/User StyleSheets
In this folder you can see a file name Custom.css. Unfortunately this file will be empty(0 Byte in size). But you can open it in notepad so just open it in notepad by right click and click on edit.
Now i am giving you some CSS definitions which will do amazing changes in all web-sites visited by Chrome browser.
Just copy given code and paste it into that Custom.css file and Press Ctrl+S so it will saved in that original location with changes.
Click here for all codes.
If you have any kind of trouble contact me on facebook or by email.
Do this on your own risk.

Sunshine Act to put financial interactions before the public eye
Groundbreaking legislation prevents liability suits based on ACA breaches
Prescribing opioids? AMA webinar to discuss risk-benefit assessment
AMA, 500 groups call on Congress to eliminate Medicare cost-cutting panel
Special Feature
Sunshine Act to put financial interactions before the public eye
Patients soon will have access to physicians' financial ties with drug and medical device manufacturers. Such information as payments, ownership interests and other "transfers of value" will be publicly reported in an online database run by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Under the Physician Payment Sunshine Act, manufacturers of drugs, devices, biological and medical supplies covered by federal health care programs are required to report financial interactions with physicians and teaching hospitals to CMS beginning Aug. 1. Ownership or investment interests physicians and their family members have in the manufacturers also must be disclosed. The data will be published no later than Sept. 30, 2014.
In addition to reporting the type of financial exchange and the dollar amount, manufacturers are required to report the reason for the interaction, including consulting, food, ownership or investment interest, direct compensation for speakers at education programs and research.
Physicians should prepare now to ensure the accuracy of the data their patients will see when the database launches next year. The best way to get ready is to start with AMA resources.
A newly archived webinar hosted by AMA President Jeremy A. Lazarus, MD, and an AMA legislative expert explains what physicians need to know about the law. By viewing this hourlong recording, physicians can learn which financial exchanges and ownership interests are subject to reporting and which information will be excluded.
The AMA was instrumental in securing a number of reporting exclusions, such as certified and accredited continuing medical education activities funded by manufacturers and product samples intended for patient use. Other improvements made based on the AMA's recommendations include allowing physicians to review their data and seek corrections before it is published, giving physicians an additional two years to pursue corrections and excluding medical residents from the rule.
The webinar also explains the steps physicians can take now to prepare for public reporting and the process through which they can challenge false, inaccurate or misleading reports before they come under public scrutiny.
Additional detailed information about the new law, including requirements, key dates and answers to frequently asked questions, is available on the AMA Sunshine Act Web page.

COCOA -- In an effort to blend Florida's rich history with the arts, the Brevard Museum of Natural History and Science has started a new, exciting venture.
On Sunday, Jan. 12, Chris Kridler will be the very first author in "Author Talks" during Second Sundays at the Brevard Museum, beginning at 2 p.m. Regular admission to the museum applies.
Wanting to give the community better access by being open during a variety of additional times, Second Sundays is a new, monthly event at the Brevard Museum of Natural History and Science.
"The museum, which focuses on Florida history and celebrating local authors, is a natural progression of this mission," said Rachel Burris, assistant director and director of education at the Brevard Museum. "The museum is a great place to host talks, meetings and events; hosting 'Author Talks' allows us to demonstrate this, while supporting other arts in the community."
An award-winning writer, photographer and storm chaser, Ms. Kridler will be presenting "True Storm Chasing Tales" during Sunday's first "Author Talks."
"The presentation will be a mix of photos, videos and facts about extreme weather in Tornado Alley and Florida, as I tell stories about my experiences chasing storms," said Ms. Kridler, a Rockledge resident. "I'll also mention how the realities of storm chasing have worked their way into my novels 'Funnel Vision' and 'Tornado Pinball.'"
While Ms. Kridler said her presentation is for all ages, her novels are aimed at adults.
She will also be signing books, following her presentation of "True Storm Chasing Tales."
With her photography featured in "The Journal of Meteorology," as well as "Winderful" and Wallace and Hobbs' "Atmospheric Science" textbook, Ms. Kridler's presentation is sure to leave attendees captivated.
"Ms. Kridler has a fascinating presentation about extreme weather, which we know well in Florida," Mrs. Burris said. "The 'Talk' is a good opportunity to learn more about the combination of science and writing."
Mrs. Burris also welcomed those, who have not visited the Brevard Museum yet, to take the opportunity to explore all the museum has to offer before or after Ms. Kridler's presentation.
"I am thrilled to be speaking at the Brevard Museum, whose focus on natural science is a natural fit for a talk about extreme weather and storm chasing," Ms. Kridler said. "Plus, it's always cool to be in the same building with a mastodon."
The Brevard Museum of Natural History and Science will host the first "Author Talks," during "Second Sundays," with Chris Kridler on Sunday, Jan. 12 at 2 p.m.
Regular admission to the museum applies.

Throat and Voice Care
Throat and Voice Care
State-of-the-art care for vocal health
Voice or swallowing difficulties can interfere with speaking, eating and drinking, and can greatly affect your ability to function. The symptoms can also be an indication of underlying disease, so ENT doctors consult with specialists in gastroenterology, internal medicine, neurology and other disciplines to provide multidisciplinary care. Madison River Oaks Medical Center provides a full range of diagnostic and treatment services for voice and swallowing disorders, including advanced care for singers, actors and others who rely on their voice for their livelihood.
Ear, nose and throat doctors utilize advanced imaging technology and voice-specific assessments to diagnose problems and develop an effective treatment plan. They also work closely with psychologists and other clinicians to address the behavioral and emotional aspects of these conditions. Our multidisciplinary team provides patient-centered care for disorders such as:
- Chronic cough and throat pain
- Hoarseness, laryngitis, or conditions that affect the vocal folds or cords
- Laryngopharyngeal and gastroesophageal reflux
- Sleep-related disorders, such as chronic snoring and sleep apnea
- Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia)

The Most Popular Printer Units on the Market
Printers have developed at an astonishing rate over the last few years. Print quality that was once the reserve of high end and expensive corporate machines is now commonplace and available to home users. Colour printing, which was once an exception is now the standard. Features that were unthinkable just a few years ago are also now commonplace. Many home printers are now multi-function and can copy and fax as well as print. Scanning is also a popular feature and can encompass both image scanning and optical character recognition (OCR). OCR allows users to convert the text on physical documents into electronic format.
Who are the Yogscast?
The Yogscast primarily deals with online gaming in the form of a video blog that is often packed with humour. It began in July 2008 and has broadcast in excess of 1,500 episodes on Youtube since then, each episode running for approximately ten to 25 minutes. The team consists of several members, two of which (Simon Lane and Lewis Brindley) feature prominently.
The scariest computer games ever
Horror movies allow you to immerse you in scary worlds but a game is interactive enabling you to play a part in the terror and therefore scarier. Since the idea of a scary game like Alone In the dark and Resident Evil kicked off in the 90s, these games now bring you into an unflinchingly detailed world where your actions decide your fate.
Coolest apps for smartphones
In today's multimedia society, you may often hear the phrase "There is an app for everything". This may well be true- the apps for smartphones is a hugely growing market with unthinkable applications available for download daily.

Cataleya was the highest rising girls' name in 2012, but I seriously doubt it beat out Sophia and various spellings.
Name Nerds does this (and a ton of other stuff), but it takes about six months after the release of the SSA list for the combined list to be out. They organize ALL the names that make the extended SSA list- names given to five or more boys or girls.
Cataleya is 479.

Haha, you are correct. I used the search bar on the SSA website to look for it, and for some reason it didn't come up. Weird.

Emmett - Ron Jude
As I get older I find myself reflecting on my youth more and more. When I look back at the the time I spent growing up in the 80's, I always relive events in that slightly fuzzy/grainy way of seeing things that VHS forced upon us.
What I love about this book is the memories of my early childhood that it evokes. This collection of Ron's photos shows me the world of 30 years ago in the same way I see it in my mind - grainy, crazy lens flare enhanced by those star filters which were popular once, and photos of VHS movies on old TV screens.
From the publisher's website:
…the pictures range from hazy scenes of a summertime drag race, a recurring forest in changing seasons, midnight horror films on a TV set, and a Nordic-looking teenager who appears as a specter from the artist's past.

Nogales, Sonora Pretreatment Program
Within the cross-border neighboring cities of Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora, or Ambos Nogales, wastewater from both countries is treated at the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant (NIWWTP). Located in Rio Rico, Arizona, the NIWWTP discharges treated effluent to the Santa Cruz River. The Office of Border Environmental Protection (OBEP) currently provides material and technical support to the wastewater utility in Nogales, Sonora (OOMAPAS-NS) for the purpose of improving the quality of wastewater discharges originating in Mexico. This helps protect investments in infrastructure and water resources in both countries.
Through a memorandum of understanding with Sonora, ADEQ has in the past provided financial support for analyses of wastewater samples collected from industrial discharge points in Nogales, Sonora. Samples are analyzed in laboratories certified by the state of Arizona and the results are incorporated into a database for generation of an annual pretreatment report by Nogales, Sonora.
With partial assistance from a grant through EPA's U.S.-Mexico Border 2012 Environmental Program, Nogales, Sonora, has constructed a water quality laboratory for analyses of wastewater samples collected in Sonora. The laboratory is undergoing Mexican certification for metals analyses. Once certified, results generated by the lab will be legally defensible and may be used for compliance purposes. This laboratory will be the first of its kind along the entire Arizona-Sonora border region, and may serve the analytical needs of other border communities in Sonora.
In December 2007, OBEP acted as a liaison between representatives from the city of Phoenix pretreatment program and the Nogales, Sonora wastewater utility in facilitating the donation of two autosamplers, flow meters, and flumes for the purpose of characterizing water quality in the broader Nogales wastewater collection system. OBEP's bilingual staff has provided training in the use of this kind of equipment. During the last four years, the legitimacy of Nogales, Sonora's pretreatment program has steadily improved within the regulated community it serves. The municipality has also successfully modified local implementation of state laws to improve the sustainability and effectiveness of the program.
Nogales Wash Coordination Committee Meetings
Nogales Wash is the main drainage conveyance for the Ambos Nogales watershed. During periods of heavy rain, surface runoff may introduce sand, oil and grease, and/or garbage into the wastewater infrastructure of Nogales, Sonora. The obstructions cause sanitary-sewer overflows (SSOs) that may create sewage problems in Nogales Wash, which flows northward into Arizona.
OBEP has taken the leadership role in coordinating binational meetings between local, state, and federal stakeholders impacted by sanitary sewer overflows within the wash. Outcomes of these meetings include generation of historical metrics related to water quality in Nogales Wash and formalized communication protocols for responding to abnormal flows within the wash.
As of June 2009, the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs coordinates meetings of city, county, state and federal stakeholders for consensus on incident planning and emergency response related to the flooding of Nogales Wash. OBEP provides technical support through hydrologic analyses and mapping of critical infrastructure.
OBEP also supports the Arizona-Sonora Border 2012 Water Task Force in identifying and developing projects that may help diminish the flooding affecting the watershed. Through a Border 2012 grant, Arizona State University is currently developing strategies for offsetting flood peaks within the watershed.
Friends of the Santa Cruz River - River Watch Volunteer Monitoring Support
ADEQ regularly monitors the quality of surface waters in Arizona. This is done in order to meet federal Clean Water Act requirements to develop a Water Quality Inventory Report for Congress every two years. Due to funding shortages, ADEQ frequently relies on data collection activities of volunteer monitoring organizations. One such organization is the river watch monitoring group based in Rio Rico, Arizona, Friends of the Santa Cruz River (FOSCR). This group regularly monitors six sites located along the Santa Cruz River and Nogales Wash near Arizona's border with Sonora.
OBEP works closely with FOSCR volunteers on data collection activities for integration into the ADEQ water quality database. Most recently, OBEP assisted FOSCR in revising its sampling protocols to ensure that the data it collects reflects the needs of ADEQ with respect to its water quality assessment. The ADEQ Water Quality Division currently provides financial assistance for quarterly monitoring of metals, nutrients, and microbiological content in samples collected by FOSCR volunteers.
Technical Assistance to Sonoran Wastewater Utilities
The border region is unique in that binational watersheds share binational wastewater infrastructure. OBEP provides technical assistance on an as needed basis to Sonora wastewater utilities to ensure that wastewater is of an adequate quality to protect investments in shared wastewater infrastructure.
Border Infrastructure Review
In response to many transboundary infrastructure needs, border communities are the recipient of Border Environment Infrastructure Funding (BEIF) provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The funding assists with rehabilitation and replacement of deteriorating infrastructure within border communities in the United States and Mexico.
In Rio Rico, Arizona, the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant (NIWTP) received funding for rehabilitation of its treatment works. Construction was initiated in July 2006 and the new plant was inaugurated in June 2009. OBEP supported technical meetings and provided engineering review that contributed to the success of this project.
In Nogales, Sonora, the municipality is in the process of establishing a new wastewater treatment plant with partial BEIF support. The Los Alisos wastewater treatment plant and associated infrastructure will relieve excess flows of wastewater currently being delivered to the NIWTP. This will ensure the NIWTP operates within its design specifications, thus protecting water quality in Arizona. For projects in Mexico, the Mexican Federal Department of Water Resources (CONAGUA) provides a matching grant.
Improvements in border infrastructure contribute to the sustainability of the growing industrial sector. This benefits U.S. companies operating in Mexico as well as citizens living on both sides of the border. In order to ensure Arizona's priorities and concerns are addressed, OBEP staff review and comment on projects facilitated by the BEIF.
For more information on ADEQ participation, please visit, Border Potable and Wastewater Infrastructure Support.
The Nogales, Sonora Wastewater Utility (OOMAPAS-NS) is developing a monitoring program for the broader wastewater collection system in order to identify sources of contamination not captured during its oversight monitoring of specific industrial discharges. This focus has been encouraged through an Arizona-Mexico Commission action item within the Environment and Water committees. Given that Sonoran wastewater is treated in Rio Rico, Arizona and discharged to the Santa Cruz River, OBEP will continue to assist as needed.
OBEP will continue to support FOSCR river watch monitoring given its importance for tracking changes in water quality both on the Santa Cruz River as well as on the Nogales Wash in Arizona. A model and database for web-based submission of water quality data collected by volunteer water quality monitoring organizations has been developed. Facilitating data submissions via the Internet will ensure that volunteer data is reflected in water quality assessment reports to Congress. Progress has been shared with the University of Arizona Non-point Education for Municipal Officials (NEMO) program to ensure efforts are leveraged. If successful, the model can be extended to other volunteer monitoring organizations in Arizona.
OBEP will continue to coordinate and support binational meetings related to Nogales Wash and the Arizona-Sonora Border 2012 Water Task Force. These meetings will ensure that binational stakeholders are engaged in the unique environmental challenges faced on the border and that resources are made available for mitigation.

Teresa Giuidce pleaded guilty to several of the felony charges and apologized for mistakes she made in her past, but are those mistakes really in the past? Reportedly Giudice was charging fans $25 each for her signature and a photo with her, and it was cash only, no credit and no receipts.
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giuidce was advertised as the celebrity guest at the Posche Spring Soiree hosted by Kim Depaolo, owner of the Posche boutique. A March 21 Radar Online report says that guests, were shocked to find out that in order to get Teresa's signature and a photo with here they had to pay $25, and it was cash only.
Guests attending the Posche Spring Soiree each paid $110, which included dinner, wine, music and a fashion show. Though Giudice was advertised as the "celebrity guest" there was no mention prior to the event that she would charge guests to sign the book and take a photo with her. Even more surprising was that when guests willing to pay the $25 pulled out their credit cards they were told by Teresa's assistant, and Giudice herself, that it was cash only. Reportedly no receipts were issued either.
Radar Online obtained video taken by one attendee, but it is difficult to hear anyone saying anything over the music and other background noise. One eyewitness said that when she went up to get her book signed and take a photo with Teresa she was told it would cost $25 and that she had to pay in cash. The eyewitness said, "Cash only? Who takes cash only? Even Teresa was telling guests it was 'cash only, no receipts' and she had bags of cash beside her where her colleague was collecting the money."

This is the tale of a young witch, and her demonic entourage trying to locate the legendary Eternal Poison.Or is it the tale of a priestess seeking her lost mentor?Or is it the tale of a knight trying to rescue his royal fiancee?The truth is... complicated.A Dark Fantasy Simulation RPG developed by Flight-Plan for the PlayStation 2. It was released on 14th February 2008 in Japan (as Poison Pink) distributed by Banpresto and on 11th November 2008 in North America distributed by Atlus.This game is notable for two things. First, it is Flight-Plan's first and only Strategy RPG to make it out of Japan, although only to North America. Secondly, it is a modernnote Atlus game that does NOT contain the original Japanese voice acting. The latter was presumably due to the original game actually taking up most of the space on a single layer DVD and not having the room for two audio tracks.

Even advanced concepts, like organized labor, show up in children's literature. Justin Wolfers, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, cited "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type" by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin, a book about cows that withhold milk from a farmer until he provides electric blankets. Mr. Wolfers read the book to his 1-year-old daughter, Matilda, during the Wisconsin protests against Gov. Scott Walker's attack on union rights.
I thought that was cute.

I recommend. Very interesting article.
Although - something seems off about it, especially the Lorax part. I think that particular economist just misses the point of The Lorax altogether. I always thought that the story questioned ideas of capitalism and the entire notion of property/land ownership.

I love the luxurious scent of Moroccanoil. Every product I tried in this line from the shampoo to the hydrating styling cream is infused with Argan Oil, vitamins A, E and F (Omega 6). Let me tell you, my hair has been flyaway, and frizz-free all day long. These products are miracle workers for people that suffer from dry or kinky hair.
| Moroccanoil products
If you have never tried Moroccanoil, these products are all about: HYDRATION. If you
try any of these products on your client they will feel and see a noticeable difference.
However, be wary. Since Moroccanoil is comprised of oil (of course,) with certain products
in this line you only want to use a small amount (depending on hair length). That can be a
good thing though—because then you can use the product for a long period of time.
|Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo and
Conditioner: Ah…using these two products was a lovely
experience. When I was washing the shampoo into my hair, not only was it
foamy, I could feel an oily blend in the consistency of the shampoo
(probably because it contains avocado oil as well). It conditioned my
hair before I even used the conditioner. This shampoo also contains
antioxidant plant extracts like rosemary, lavender, chamomile and
The conditioner is super creamy and it really coats each and every strand of hair. It gently detangled and strengthened my hair quickly and efficiently. This formula is highly concentrated; it contains 30 percent active ingredients compared to the industry standard of 10 percent. This conditioner will improve a client's dry hair after one use.
| Shampoo, Conditioner, Mask
Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask: When Moroccanoil named this product "Intense
Hydrating Mask," it serves up to its name. The brand recommends only a teaspoon amount
of the mask for most hair types, a little more for longer hair. Then it tells you to keep it in
the hair for 5 to 10 minutes depending on what results you want. Since it's summer, heat dries
out your hair, so naturally a deep conditioner for anyone is an essential hair item. Yesterday, I
was definitely having a bad hair day. No matter which conditioning product I tried, it didn't
help my hair at all. After using this product this morning, wow….no more dry hair!
|Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream: So
usually, I don't put extra creamy products in my hair (like gel or
paste) because it generally weighs my hair down…but this leave-in styler
(only use a little!) hydrated my hair and left it really shiny. In
Chicago today it was 93 degrees, and after being outside for a short
period of time, the heat usually frizzes up my hair. However, all
throughout this morning and into my lunch break my hair stayed
frizz-free and manageable.
Moroccanoil Intense Curl Cream: This is a new leave-in styling cream that will help you create bouncy, shiny curls for your client. This product also provides a medium hold and environmental protection.
|Intense Curl Creme and Hydrating Style Creme
|Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine: Many of your
clients are going to be venturing outdoors, going to the beach and
hanging out in the sun this summer! Offer them some hair protection
from the damaging effects of UV rays and radicals with this Glimmer
Shine spray. Sometimes conditioners only provide so much shine; and
that's where this product comes in handy. This is an essential product
for people with colored or highlighted hair. If your clients don't want
their hair fading into funny colors in the sun, this will protect them
from that.
Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray: This new product by Moroccanoil produces strong, manageable and touchable hold with healthy-looking shine. The product also features the exclusive signature Moroccanoil fragrance.
| Glimmer Shine and Hairspray
|Moroccanoil Treatment: This is a styling and shine product in one. It protects against UV damage and other environmental hazards. The oil not only nourishes the hair but the scalp too, promoting healing and repair when needed. If your clients are asking for that celeb-shine, this is the product you should use on them; works like a charm. (Don't use too much—a little bit goes a long way.)
Moroccanoil Light: This lighter formula has the same effects as the original Morroccanoil treatment but it is customized for fine and fair colored hair. This product features a weightless solution that fortifies hair from root to tip.

Intercity passenger trains are experiencing a "renaissance" with Amtrak ridership growing "faster than other major travel modes," says a new report from the Brookings Institution. Indeed, the report continues, Amtrak's short-distance trains (generally, routes of around 200 to 600 miles) have, on average, a "positive operating balance," so more such short-distance routes should be added.
As a long-time lover of passenger trains, I wish the report's statements were true, but they are not. To reach these conclusions, Brookings scholars have selectively used data; ignored one of the major travel modes; and relied on Amtrak accounting tricks to disguise losses.
The rapid growth of rail passenger travel that they report is from 1997 to 2012, but 1997 was near the bottom of a trough in Amtrak ridership. If they had gone back to 1991, which was Amtrak's peak before 2010, the would have revealed a very different story.
From 1991 to 2012, Amtrak passenger miles grew by a paltry 8 percent (compared with 32 percent between 1997 and 2012), while airline passenger miles grew by 68 percent (vs. 26 percent from 1997 to 2012). Let's see: air travel grew 68 percent; Amtrak 8 percent. Not much of a rail renaissance, is there?
Of course, using 1991 instead of 1997 makes me just as selective as Brookings. So the chart above just compares the trends from 1990 to 2012. The important thing to note about the chart: Amtrak is insigificant, carrying in recent years little more than 1 percent as many passenger miles as the airlines. Amtrak would appear even more insignificant if the vertical scale were raised to show intercity driving of personal vehicles (as opposed to trucks and buses), which moves about 200 times as many passenger miles as Amtrak.
Amtrak's performance looks even more dismal on a per capita basis. Amtrak may have posted record ridership in 2012, but the nation's population was also 25 percent greater than in 1991 when Amtrak per capita ridership peaked at a mere 25 miles per person. Today, it is 13 percent less.
When Brookings compares Amtrak with "other major travel modes," it implies that Amtrak itself is a major travel mode. In fact, Amtrak's 22 miles per person in 2012 compares with more than 1,800 miles in air travel and 4,200 miles in intercity auto travel. As a result, Amtrak carries only about 0.36 percent of intercity passenger travel in the U.S. That's up from 1997, when it was 0.32 percent, but down from 1991, when it was 0.45 percent. Fluctuating between a third and a half percent does not make Amtrak a "major travel mode."

The UFC 170 countdown show aired last night, but if you missed it, we have got you covered. The first segment of the show takes a look at the third to last bout on the UFC 170 card: Demian Maia vs Rory MacDonald.
This Welterweight clash has flown under the radar with all of the hoopla surrounding the last minute replacement for Rashad Evans and of course the main event between Rousey and McMann. Regardless, this is a stellar fight, and not one to be missed.
Rory MacDonald is coming off a very poor 2013 and is looking to get back on the winning track. . After winning four fights in a row in impressive fashion, many believed MacDonald could be the next Georges St-Pierre. His next bout was against Welterweight powerhouse, Jake Ellenberger. Many expected a firefight and a 'fight of the night'. Instead, fans were treated to one of the worst bouts in recent memory, and a lot of luster that MacDonald had built up crumbled even with his unanimous decision victory. In his next bout, MacDonald faced off against Robbie Lawler, and lost a split decision in very close fight. With his five fight winning streak snapped, MacDonald has a renewed fire and is looking to impress on Saturday night.
Demian Maia is also coming off a split decision loss in his last bout. At UFC Fight Night 29, Maia lost to Jake Shields in controversial fashion. The loss snapped his three fight winning streak, and pushed him to the back of the line for a title shot. Maia is one of the most dangerous grapplers in the sport, and will likely look to get MacDonald on the mat on Saturday night. This bout has all the makings of 'fight of the night' as both competitors are hungry and looking to make a statement.
