The Rangers salvaged a point last Friday night in their 4-3 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers at the Wachovia Center and remain in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, but edged closer to the Atlantic Division title. Going into the game, they had won seven straight times in Philadelphia, but the way the contest transpired, they have to be satisfied with earning one point.
Instead of their usual tactics of trying to intimidate their opponents by bullying them and playing an up tempo game, the Flyers adopted a much more conservative style and suffocated the Rangers with solid defense. The change in strategy by coach John Stevens worked very well until late in the final period, when the defense on both sides suddenly vacated the premises.
Regulation ended in a 3-3 deadlock which was shocking considering that there was just one goal scored in the first 50 minutes of action. After an ineffective five minute overtime, the shootout determined the winner. It was no contest as both Mike Richards and Jeff Carter beat Stephen Valiquette while Brendan Shanahan surprisingly missed the net on his first round attempt and Martin Biron stopped a snapshot from Nigel Dawes. There was no need for the third round and the Flyers finally got a victory over the Blueshirts at home.
Mike Richards opened the scoring with an unassisted breakaway goal at 4:37 when he took advantage of a poor play by Marek Malik at the blue line. The goal ended a nice shutout streak by Valiquette who had consecutive shutouts against the Flyers going into the game. The Flyers took a 1-0 lead going into the locker room after one and outshot the Rangers 8-7.
The second period was scoreless and pretty dull (shots again favored the home team 11-7) as was the first half of the final frame; both teams were committed to shutting the opponent down and giving precious few quality scoring opportunities. The Rangers weren't skating with high energy and were playing shorthanded (Blair Betts is gone for several games and Scott Gomez suffered bruised ribs in the first and didn't return).
At 10:50 though, first star of the game Daniel Briere doubled the Flyers lead and the way the game was going, that looked like a pretty safe edge. But Malik responded with just his second goal of the season slightly over a minute later on a long range slap shot that somehow eluded Biron. It was a crucial goal that gave the Rangers some much needed momentum and for Malik, it was some retribution for his earlier blunder.
With some renewed vigor, the Blueshirts picked up their play and Dawes evened the score at two (his 12th) at 13:49 when his shot glanced off Patrick Thoresen's leg. It was quite an unexpected turnaround as the previously stymied offense awakened. But the Flyers were desperate and their determination did not waiver; Briere notched his second of the game and 28th of the season at 16:23 to restore the Flyers' lead.
The Rangers, however, were not done either. Jaromir Jagr backhanded the tying goal from a very sharp angle at 18:09 (his 19th) and once again, the Flyers were in jeopardy of blowing another late advantage. But in the end, they survived and came away with the extra point that was way more important to them than the Rangers. Christian Backman had his best game as a Ranger by assisting on all three goals. Valiquette finished with 27 saves in a losing effort and Biron stopped 23 shots for the victory.
Both teams get to do it again on Tuesday night at MSG.

ZP+: correct Z-pass stencil shadows using the OpenGL Shading Language
Feb 11, 2005
ZP+ ( "Z-Pass Plus" ) is a new method for correcting the defects of the Z-pass method for rendering shadow volumes cast by a point light source. ZP+ uses an OpenGL Shading Language vertex program to clip the shadow-volume quads in a special way. It also takes advantage of triangle-strips and VBO since the mesh need not be cut into a light-cap and a dark-cap anymore. This yields frame-rates faster than Z-fail in most cases, and stencil shadows become more applicable to large meshes.

Confessions of former shopaholics
How two people's shopping addictions jeopardized their relationships and finances.
Overflowing closets, jewelry boxes stacked one on top of the other, unopened shopping bags scattered throughout the house -- these are all telltale signs of a person with a shopping addiction. Just as gamblers can't resist a trip to the casino, those with a shopping compulsion cannot stop themselves from frequenting the mall or visiting the websites of their favorite stores.
Although the addictions are significantly different, gamblers and shopaholics both surrender to a vice that can tear their finances apart. The temptation to swipe one credit card after another is hard to dispel, despite the destruction a shopping spree leaves in its path.
Approximately 2% to 5% of Americans have a shopping addiction. For many, the consequences are devastating: More than 1 in 20 Americans have a shopping habit that jeopardizes their relationships or careers, according to a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
A number of misconceptions surround shopping addiction. Despite popular belief, the Internet hasn't completely revolutionized the way so-called "shopaholics" operate, according to Donald Black, a psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at the University of Iowa who studies impulse-control disorders. Even though the Web has made retailers accessible at one's fingertips, shopping online doesn't provide the same sensory experience as a brick-and-mortar store.
"One of the things compulsive shoppers will tell you is they really enjoy the shopping experience, and I'm not sure that Internet shopping provides them with the sensual pleasures they're looking for," he says. "They like the sounds, the smells, the feel of fabrics -- you can't have that shopping online."
In addition to varying shopping methods, not everyone with a shopping addiction sees their finances fall apart, since some possess the financial resources to support their spending habits. However, the majority of compulsive shoppers exhibit habits that have damaging effects on their personal lives. For instance, mothers may be hitting the mall when they should be taking care of their children, or people choose shopping over socializing and eventually lose friends.
Much of America's growing number of shopping addicts is a result of Western civilization, says April Lane Benson, author of "I Shop, Therefore I Am: Compulsive Buying and the Search for Self."
"Consumption fuels our economy. Materialism is rampant. We think that if you can't buy happiness, you just don't know where to shop," she says. Some onlookers admire compulsive shoppers' ability to spend a lot of money, which can encourage them even more. "A lot of times, it's a smiled-upon addiction," Benson says.
Because of the way society enables their addiction, compulsive shoppers often rationalize their habits. Some think they simply have good taste, which warrants their need to keep up with the latest trends. Others falsely believe they have the assets to support their hobby. Many times, they are overlooking the root of their addiction: emotions that may include loneliness, boredom, depression or the desire to feel empowerment.
Another energizer is the high some shoppers feel at the point of sale. But the rush is only temporary, Black says. Once they go home and see how much they've spent, the euphoria usually disappears. This can lead people to feel "buyer's remorse." Many hide the items -- in the trunk of their car, in the attic, in the storage room -- to conceal their shopping addiction.
"They know what they're doing is wrong and obsessive, and they're either ashamed or embarrassed by it," says Black, "otherwise, why would they hide it?" In some extreme cases, people purchase a bunch of items, suffer from buyer's remorse and return the products, only to come back later to buy them again. Benson calls them "returnaholics."
According to Benson, shopaholics can never get enough of things they want but don't need. Consequently, she says compulsive shoppers need to figure out what it is they're really shopping for; for most shopping addicts, she says it's never the items in their cart.
U.S. News & World Report spoke to two reformed shopaholics who shared their stories of how they developed, grappled, and overcame their addiction (quotes have been edited for clarity and brevity).
Mary Hunt, founder of DebtProofLiving.com and author of "7 Money Rules for Life":
I was probably born with the propensity to become a shopping addict. I think it's a temperament. I wasn't able to practice it because I grew up in a very frugal family and didn't have the means to shop for things that weren't needs. So as a child, I always dreamed I was going to be rich one day and be able to spend money freely.
When I left my home in Washington to go to college in California, I got away from the tightly regulated life I had. The first thing I did was get a checking account. I had discovered a way I could spend money I didn't have by writing checks. I suppose deep down I knew it wasn't right, but it was exhilarating and satisfying. It gave me a high, a buzz, the feeling that I could get away with anything.
If I bought shoes at Nordstrom's, I'd have to buy a pair of every color. I felt the salespeople were looking at me and thinking, "Oh, how I'd love to be her and live this wonderful lifestyle," and that made me feel important. I had the same fantasy when I got my first gas card and had the option to go through full service. While they'd fill up the car, I'd sit there and think, "Wow, this is what the queen of England must feel like. I have a host of people waiting on me, people tending to my carriage." I knew it was just a fantasy, but it was what I wanted. Of course, if I was with a friend I wouldn't buy anything. You never want to practice your addiction in front of someone.
By the time I got married I had access to credit cards. But after a while, I had this moment where I realized I was affecting other people's lives -- my husband's and my kids'. I didn't want to disappoint my husband. I told him time after time that I wouldn't go on another shopping spree. I'd cut up the credit cards and close accounts, but it didn't last forever. The pain of my actions was never great enough to make me give up compulsive shopping; there was always a tipping point. It came to the point where if I was alone with plastic, I was just a disaster waiting to happen. I loved my credit cards. They were my lifeblood, they were my oxygen, they were the tools that allowed me to be the person I couldn't be growing up.

Remember brains you are born with, so if have none, get help early!
It is chocking that this is a story!
I have never cared about shoes on any employee or for that matter after being to thousands of companies at top level, have never once looked at anyone's shoes, except if they were required possibly to have on safety shoes--and most shoes are not really "used" for the job unless prostitution--as in butt wiggle. AND I have never hired any employee with IQ under 120.--So you could say that it goes hand in hand with a real job! If you find at my level you need new shoes every day, run as fast as you can, seriously.

Singaporean actor Adi Putra makes his Bollywood debut in Farhan Akhtar's Don sequel. He plays Shah Rukh's lawyer in the film. The popular actor was selected after several auditions.
The two were recently spotted shooting scenes in a prison at Sungai Udang and Malacca in Malaysia.
The 32-year-old actor sent several DVDs and clips of his work to producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar to prove his acting prowess.
A source said: "Adi has been getting a lot of local press attention after getting selected for Don 2.
As part of the preparation, he spent a lot of time toning up as he's required to do some running and be a part of chase sequences.
A Singaporean by birth, Adi married Malaysian producer Aida Yusof in 2006 and will soon become a permanent Malaysian resident.

Vegetarian chili - cooked and carried in a Crockpot. Bring lots of yummy toppings on the side and even non-veggies will love it!
Something Asian inspired? There's lots of dishes that vegetable based and flavored with a seaweed base, like soups and rice porridges. Maybe something mediterranean ?
Try this stove top mac-n-cheese with caramelized onion, apple, squash and Gouda. Just forget the bacon. Butternut Squash Gouda Mac n' Cheese with Apples and Bacon (optional)
Try some sparkling cranberry and brie bites or a 7 layer Greek dip:
Thanks doll,

Vietnamese springrolls (made with tofu)
You can make this more savory with sauteed mushrooms and sage. But this will impress everyone!
At our work potluck this week, someone brought veggie hominey, which won my pick for best dish. It was in a crockpot.

The Anaheim Ducks have spent a lot of time putting bandages on booboos recently. Those wounds have been of varied sorts, from the flu to upper- and lower-body problems to those of a more psychological variety.
Huh? Do they need counseling? Not quite, but apparently the team feels that it needs more toughness. This perhaps hearkens back to an earlier era. The team that won the Cup in 2007 was a rough-tough bunch, having shed their "Mighty" label a year prior. They had guys like Brad May on board to do the nasty stuff. Since then, Parros has gone and nobody has replaced him, for the simple reason that hockey in the West is a skilled game where the luxury of a meathead can't be afforded. But the Ducks felt, apparently, that they were being whacked around some, and so they went out and traded for Tim Jackman, a bruising winger whose most recent stop was Calgary. His career numbers show about ninety fights in the NHL.
His single-season high is 19 fights in 2008-09, In 2011-12, he had 14. That sounds like a lot, until you compare George Parros's numbers. He has four seasons over 20 fights, with a high in 2010-11 of 27. (No comments, please, about how to put an Ivy League education to work.)
And it didn't take Jackman long to show his mettle. He and BJ Crombeen got into a fight in the middle of a play, not one of those staged deals. Unless you count the fact that one team's meathead (Jackman: 11th game of the year, 41 PIMs coming in, leading the Ducks by a factor of nearly double the nearest next guy, Bryan Allen with 28 minutes in 24 games) met another's (Crombeen: not so meaty in fact—21minutes in 19 games). In fact, look at those numbers, and look at the Tampa Bay roster. Two other people have more PIMs, many more. Radko Gudas has 63 (coming in; that would soon change) and Ryan Malone has 35. So what Jackman did, in fact, was select a middleweight to act as his welcome to the Ducks dance partner. Hmm.
It was all for nothing, in the sense that the Ducks' somewhat unlikely fisticuffian hero on this night was rather slight defenseman Luca Sbisa. In period one, and not long after Jackman's tussle, Radko Gudas hit Andrew Cogliano at the boards, a tough, somewhat dirty hit. Last time these teams played, which was a week ago, he had run Selanne in a similar way. This time, Sbisa had seen enough, and he came flying in from the blueline and attacked Gudas. They fought, and it was no "I'll hold your sweater and keep you at arms' length" affair. Sbisa KOd the guy with an overhand right that made it home over top of the linesman's arm. Gudas went down with Sbisa on top of him, still punching. In fact, it was better than that. Gudas had started to fall, and Sbisa pulled him up, then smacked the s*&% out of him and sent him down.
Serves the guy right, and a fight like this reaches back to the history of the league and the reason guys have fought since the start—to even scores. To make things right. Because of the code.
Sbisa, by the way, is 6'2" 198 pounds. Jackman is the same height and 225. And Gudas is 6'0" and 204. He is also slightly menacing in his oddball shaving pattern, a kind of ex-con look. Apparently, Sbisa's been taught to look past that kind of intimidation factor. Sbisa averages two fights a year, in case you need perspective. Gudas has three AHL seasons where he recorded more than ten fights.
The other Ducks woes, to enumerate them, include Koivu suffering from a concussion. He's close to returning, and he is skating, but he's not entirely symptom-free, and so is still not practicing with contact. Getzlaf had an unspecified upper body injury and missed three games. Matt Beleskey broke his thumb and was out for more than 15 games. Jakob Silfverberg has a broken hand and has been out for weeks (since Oct. 25, to be exact).
Daniel Winnik bears the results of getting a puck in the mouth on the Ducks' recent road trip, and he now wears one of those bottom cages to allow for healing. It might have affected his vision in one instance, when he and Cogliano went down two-on-one and he put a pass just too far for Cogliano to handle.
The worst hole to fill right now is Francois Beauchemin. He hit the boards head-first on Wednesday night and was put on IR just before the game. In his absence, the Ducks dressed defenseman Fowler, Sbisa (he missed more than a dozen at the start of the year), Lovejoy, Fistric, Lindholm, and Allen. Most have played most games of the year except Sbisa, with the exception of Fistric. He has appeared in just five to date, including Friday evening.
On the evening, Coach Boudreau used his heavy horses on D like the team isn't about to go to Phoenix for a game tomorrow night. That is, Fowler got 25 minutes; Lovejoy got just short of 25; Allen got near 24; and Lindholm was over 20. Shorter use went to Sbisa, who played 16:40 (but don't forget, he sat after fighting) and Fistric, with just 15.
And just to make things complete, in a kind of incomplete sort of way, in warm-ups, goalie Victor Fasth sustained a lower-body injury and did not appear, even on the bench to back up. He is just off of a fourteen-game injury break. In his place, Hiller was outstanding, as was his opposite number, Ben Bishop.
In case you haven't read about the game Friday night yet, by the by, here's a quick look at the action: nobody scored in the first period, despite great chances on both sides. By midway through the second, each goalie had made at least two spectacular saves. Make that three. For Hiller, these were two high glove snatches that he emphasized by swinging his right arm, his catching hand, high into the air after the save. His third was a leg save on JT Brown. Bishop had made a leg save on a wrister that was cleverly floated through a crowd to the net and another two stops on breakaways by Andrew Cogliano.
The game went to OT as one of the tightest, best contests in a long time. Neither team had scored, and each goalie had made a load of saves. For Hiller, that was 28. For Bishop, 40. OT proceeded wide open, each team trading chances with the other. Martin St. Louis could have won it with a semi-break in on the left side and a quick shot. Hiller hugged the post to stop it. Then, with 5.2 seconds on the clock, the Ducks' captain, Ryan Getzlaf, charged down the ice on the left side and barged to the net. He fired a blistering wrist shot and followed the puck in, got a part of the rebound, and then heard the roar of a near sellout as the puck hit the goalie on his left rib pad and redirected into the open cage, just crossing the line with two Tampa Bay players diving for it. The Ducks ended with 42 shots, and the Lightning with 31. As you might imagine, the goalies were two of the three stars, with the other being Getzlaf.
One other set of notable moments included a couple of makeup calls that the refs made. In one, Mathieu Perreault apparently pushed the puck with a hand after the faceoff. Fair enough, except that it didn't look on replay like he had done that at all. The linesman called that one, but a referee then called Filppula for interference immediately after. It wasn't the best performance of the year for the guys in stripes, but then again, they're human.
Ducks Notes
The Ducks celebrated Scott Niedermayer with a special recognition before the game.
It was the team's first 1-0 OT win since Nov. 4, 2008, which was in LA. For nostalgia's sake: Pronger had the winning goal and Giguere the shutout win with 35 saves.
The team had not won 1-0 at home (regulation or OT) since October 4, 2011, when they beat San Jose. Hiller was in net for that one, too, and had 31 saves.
The club is 9-0-1 at Honda Center this year, their best home start ever. The Ducks are presently the best team in the NHl at 16-6-3 935 points) through 25 games. That last number is a slight cause for worry. They have played more games than anyone in their division, in some cases as many as three more. In fact, both teams below them in the Pacific, San Jose and Phoenix, have played 22 games.

Adoptive Moms Can Breastfeed – Inducing Lactation
10.25.2013 [New Moms & Dads]
Many adoptive moms want to provide their babies with the benefits of breast milk, and they can by inducing lactation.
MEDICATIONS – There are no currently FDA approved medications to induce lactation. However there are some medications, such as Metocloprimide, an ulcer medication, that has been shown to stimulate or enhance milk production.
HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS – many women have used herbal supplements in capsules or teas, to stimulate or increase milk production. None of these medications are FDA regulated or tested for purity or contaminants.
STIMULATION – Regular breast stimulation is necessary for milk production. Pumping every 2-3 hours until baby arrives, then put baby to breast to further stimulate lactation.
SUPPLEMENTATION – There is no way to predict if you will be able to produce enough breast milk to fully support baby's needs. If formula supplementation is necessary, a supplemental nurser system (SNS) can be used to provide adequate feedings at the breast.
GETTING STARTED – If lactation induction is something you're interested in, talk to your doctor as soon as possible, before the arrival of your baby. Milk production takes about 4 weeks after the initiation of pumping.

Syria rebels kill 7, bomb explodes near U.N. monitors
AMMAN (Reuters) - Syrian rebels killed at least seven pro-government militiamen in a Damascus suburb on Wednesday, activists said, and an explosion wounded eight soldiers escorting U.N. ceasefire observers in the southern province of Deraa.
The Damascus attack with rocket-propelled grenades on a bus carrying the fighters through the suburb of Irbin prompted the army to seal off the area and respond with shelling, activist Mohammad Saeed said.
Sustained violence in Syria, nearly four weeks after a ceasefire deal brokered by mediator Kofi Annan, has led to warnings this week from the Red Cross, Arab League and Annan himself that the country is slipping into civil war.
Annan's truce was part of a wider plan aimed at ending 14 months of unrest, starting with peaceful but violently repressed demonstrations against President Bashar al-Assad and moving into an armed conflict that the International Committee of the Red Cross says now meets its definition of civil war in some areas.
Bloodshed in Syria has sharply divided world powers. The U.S. envoy to the United Nations declared on Tuesday that Assad's government had not fully implemented any part of Annan's plan, while Russia's ambassador, who has been more supportive of Damascus, said "things are moving in a positive direction".
On Wednesday a bomb exploded in Deraa close to a convoy of U.N. monitors, led by Major-General Robert Mood, tasked with observing the implementation of Annan's April 12 ceasefire deal.
The pro-government Addounia television said eight members of the security forces accompanying the monitors were wounded in the blast, but none of the U.N. observers was hurt.
"The important thing is not speculating about who was the target, what was the target, but to make the point that this is what the Syrian people are seeing every day and it needs to stop," Mood said afterwards.
Despite an initial lull in fighting, the agreed ceasefire has not taken hold. Nor has the carnage stopped, despite a parliamentary poll on Monday which the government promoted as a milestone on its path to reform, but which the opposition dismissed as a sham and boycotted.
Beyond the ceasefire and monitoring mission, Annan's plan also calls for free access for journalists, humanitarian aid access and political dialogue between the government and opposition. So far, 60 of some 300 monitors have arrived with the whole team expected to be assembled by the end of May.
Lebanese residents in the border town of al-Qaa said Syrian troops fired across the border into Lebanon on Wednesday, killing a 75-year-old woman and wounding her daughter.
In the northern province of Idlib, one man was killed and three others wounded during heavy clashes, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. A Reuters journalist in Idlib city heard gunfire throughout the night.
Heavy clashes were also reported in Hama city and in Deir al-Zor, where residents say government forces carried out raids and arrests. Two security members were killed and one man was killed by unknown gunmen, the British-based Observatory said.
Opposition sources in Rastan, about 30 km (19 miles) north of Homs city, said U.N. observers had been unable to visit the town due to a third day of bombardment and shooting there. Two people were killed and seven wounded on Wednesday.
The United Nations says Syrian forces have killed 9,000 people since the uprising erupted in March 2011. Syrian authorities blame the violence on foreign-backed Islamist militants who they say have killed 2,600 soldiers and police.
Because of the conflict one million Syrians now need humanitarian help, according to a U.N. mission which visited in March. The United Nations is preparing a major aid operation, backed by a $180 million appeal, but has yet to reach agreement with Damascus on how the assistance will be delivered.
Syrian ambassador to Geneva Faysal Khabbaz Hamoui said talks were continuing but that his country's needs were not huge. "Syria is not Somalia. Syria is not Haiti," he told Reuters.
In New York, Syria's U.N. envoy Bashar Ja'afari displayed a CD on Tuesday containing what he said were confessions of 26 Arabs caught in Syria who had come from Libya, Tunisia and elsewhere via Turkey and Lebanon "to perpetrate terrorist acts".
Ja'afari said Syrian security forces had killed another 15 foreign fighters and he urged Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey to stop "their sponsorship of the armed rebellion".
The commander of Syria's rebel Free Syrian Army, which had agreed to halt attacks on Assad's forces in line with Annan's ceasefire, has threatened to resume fighting.
"We will not stand with folded arms because we are not able to tolerate and wait while killings, arrests and shelling continue despite the presence of the (U.N.)observers who have turned into false witnesses," Colonel Riad Asaad said, according to the London-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.
"Our people are also demanding we defend them in the absence of any serious steps by the Security Council which is giving the regime a chance to commit more crimes," he said.

THIS is the kind of BS you are supporting! They have been terrorizing and attacking Syrians and Syrian forces since the first day of the ceasefire, and are now trying to tell us they are "standing arms folded"…
You have got to be kidding me… well at least you can detonate a suicide bomb while you're "standing, arms folded" cant you!
The Syrians are sick of these terrorists, armed Islamist gangs, militant snipers, illegal weapons shipments, and foreign intervention…
They should declare all out war on these criminal groups and just wipe them out instead of pussyfooting around trying to prove to an extremily hostile international community that the terrorists are at fault!
Syria has one of the best armed forces of all arab countries, stop messing around and defend your nation!!!
Wipe them out with a full scale assault, these are not Syrian civillians, they are mass murderers!
Any civilian killed by opposition forces can be labelled"pro-government militiamen" because the people providing info to Reuters are also the ones killing "pro-government militiamen".
So according to Reuters(and activists),Syria's security forces are killing civilians but rebels are only killing "pro govt militiamen"
My question is the armed rebellion doesn't have an armed militia or pro-rebellion militiamen?
Or when "pro-rebellion militiamen" die they are reincarnated by corporate sponsored medias as "peaceful civilian"?
The Times newspaper featured a report on Syria many months ago when an opposition activist commented on how he had met a number of Libyans who had fought in Misrata and were now armed and trained to fight against the Syrian Army.
It makes you wonder if this was the plan all along. Arm and train rebels to overthrow Gaddafi and then send them to Syria to bring down the Government and install a Western puppet.
Whilst Western journalists show images of "Syrians" taking up arms to "defend civilians" from Assad, who is to say that these are not in fact Libyans mercenaries fighting for dollars?
Of course, by calling themselves rebels, they imply that they are fighting against the injustices they have witnessed, thereby affording themselves a sense of honour. But "rebel" is a loose term. Calling themselves foreign backed insurgents wouldn't have the same effect.

Beautiful I loved this dress! I had tried on about 20 other dresses before I had decided on this one. I found it online the night before my second trip to David's Bridal. It was love at first sight! The beautiful shoulder strap was what first attracted me to it. They had actually just got it in the day before. So excited! I knew it was "the one" as soon as I put it on. It was very flattering. Hugged me in all the right places. It flattered my curves in a good way! Loved the ruching and the beading. They added a nice touch! It was very light and flowy, too. It was perfect. Both the days I first tried it on and on my wedding day, I didn't want to take it off! Everyone loved it. Esp my husband! I HIGHLY recommend this dress!! July 17, 2013
BEAUTIFUL gown! I absolutely fell in love with this gown! It was gorgeous! It helped boost my bustyness (or rather, lack-there-of ;) and didn't hug any "bad" curves. It looks very expensive for such a low-cost dress. The color I purchased was called "soft White" which is basically in between white and ivory. In one of the pictures I posted, you can see the color difference between my dress and my flower girl's white dress. I received tons of compliments on the uniqueness of it! I felt beautiful and princess like for my wedding day and I wish that on every bride out there! July 16, 2013
Gorgeous dress This is for my wedding in Hawaii on the beach..perfect for a beach wedding. Light enough and shows all the right curves. Can't wait to wear it to my Jan 4th wedding. July 12, 2013
Love at First Sight! This was the first dress I tried on and ABSOLUTELY LOVED it! I tried on several others after to make sure it wasn't just b/c it was the first one I tried on, and none even came close to this. Even the friends I brought with said my eyes just sparkled every time I put it on:) Could not be happier with my decision to go with this dress (i tried it on 3 times at the store)! May 29, 2013

House and Senate Republicans appear unwilling to consider any plan to expand Medicaid until next year, creating the possibility that some 111,000 low-income Utahns who otherwise might be eligible for health coverage will have to go without, possibly until late 2015.
It is a setback for Republican Gov. Gary Herbert, who has been trying for weeks to hammer out an agreement to expand the health coverage, in hopes of getting a program approved by the Legislature this summer. It also pushes any vote on expansion off until after the November elections.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
In the process, Utah will forgo $4 million a month paid in taxes that could return to the state for the expanded Medicaid coverage until some decision is made.
Democrats immediately attacked the stalemate as irresponsible game-playing.
"Utah need leaders," Utah Democratic Chairman Peter Corroon said in a statement. "One-hundred-and-forty-thousand working Utah families are without health insurance, waiting in limbo while our state Legislature dithers, dallies, and plays partisan games. Let's make it a slogan — Utah: we're doubling down on dumb."
House Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, said Wednesday that, while the entire Republican caucus has not voted on the position, House leaders believe the body would not support approving any Medicaid expansion plan in a special session.
"Remember, this involves a lot of money potentially to the state of Utah, to our taxpayers, so I think what you're seeing is a desire to do this in a general session environment, as opposed to a special session environment," Lockhart said. "This is almost what you'd call a permanent decision and it needs to be made very carefully and very slowly."
House Majority Leader Brad Dee, R-Ogden, said House GOP leaders are reluctant to "foist" a decision on Medicaid expansion on the body "to decide in an afternoon."
Senate Republicans met in a closed caucus Wednesday and Senate Majority Leader Ralph Okerlund, R-Monroe, said afterward that, unless there was a proposal that everyone was able to rally behind, it would make more sense to take some time and address expansion during the regular legislative session that begins in January.
"This is such a big issue. This is not a one-day special session-type of issue," said Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, who planned to meet with the governor Wednesday afternoon.
Herbert said he understands the Legislature's desire for deliberation and to be involved."The appropriate way to fix the hole in the safety net and address the needs of the poorest among us is a decision of great magnitude that requires thoughtful and appropriate consideration," he said in a statement. "I'm confident we can find an appropriate process to give the Legislature the time they need to deliberate on the issue."
Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck, D-Salt Lake City, is a member of the Health System Reform Task Force, which is slated to meet Thursday to hear about the status of the governor's negotiations. She said waiting to expand coverage risks the lives of Utahns who could be treated if they had health care.
"This isn't about politics, it's about lives," she said. "The continued hesitation to act by the majority caucus is simply puzzling."
Herbert had proposed using $258 million in federal Medicaid dollars to buy private coverage for 111,000 Utahns who make less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level — about $15,500 for an individual.
His staffers have been in regular contact with officials from the U.S. Department of Health to try to negotiate an agreement that the governor could take to the Legislature for approval in a special session, possibly as early as June.
It would still take several months to get the program running.
Delaying it until the Legislature meets in a regular session next year means it could be late in 2015 or even longer before any program is operating.
Lockhart and Republican leaders had supported a plan that would use state money to pay the health-care costs of some unknown number of the uninsured poor. But no alternative passed the Legislature last session.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is settled in a narrow corner of the world. Acceptance from teachers is based upon your last name and Greenridge address. Nepotism is encouraged as a Greenridge teacher had her daughter hired this year. Kids who know the mother-daughter tag team are permitted to call both teachers by their first names. Such children are have free reign to bully fellow students and disregard class rules with no reprocution. Whatever you do, don't try to stand up for your child who us being bullied, because the Greenridge girls take care of their own and will take it out on your child. The education is sub-par and for a catholic school, the teachers possess no value. I regret sending my children to the school. Please think twice about this school unless you are already part of the gang.
This school is fine for younger students but by the time they reach about fifth grade everything goes down. Teachers are very prejudiced to certain students. A lot of bullying goes on but teachers ignore it. Students can't do well when distracted by mean students and teachers do nothing. Some,not all, teachers do not properly post on edline. Teachers do not inform parents if student isnt working well. I can't believe young catholic girls could be so mean. I often wonder if there parents know what they're saying to other girls. As a parent you. Can't say anything or else your child gets bullied even more. I wouldn't send a dog here. There are currently 5 family members here. Only the girls are having trouble
My Kids LOVE This School! I Would recommend it for students who want a great education. The teachers are really nice and my B average kid is now an A+ Student!

The World's Oldest Textile Sees New Life in High Fashion
On a hot summer day during Berlin's biannual fashion week, models stood on podiums in a decommissioned 1960s concrete modernist church remade into an exhibition space. Bobby Kolade's collection was the first one visible upon entering. At center stood his show piece — a long, maple brown jacket made of Ugandan bark cloth, the oldest textile known to mankind according to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
The 26-year-old Nigerian-German designer grew up in Uganda, and moved to Berlin in 2005 to study fashion. He recently won Germany's highest fashion prize for young designers for his first collection. But perhaps most interestingly, Kolade, a vegetarian, has hit upon the idea that bark cloth might be a viable alternative to leather.
On the sidelines of the fashion show, Kolade told me that he had seen the fabric as a child, but only recently came upon the idea of using it in clothing.
"Growing up in Kampala, I obviously saw this material. But it just wasn't cool," he said, explaining that most Ugandans associate bark cloth with burial rituals.

During this time of year, dorm rooms tend to become a danger zone. The assignments, essays, final projects and obligations pile up as the semester winds down.
Most of us are ready to pull out our hair over registration and finishing everything for the end of the semester. Don't let a messy room inhibit your progress toward a more positive lifestyle and attitude in 2013.
One of the biggest problems is clutter. During this hectic end-of-semester haze, clutter creates a more destabilized environment. Having piles of shoes, unwashed clothes, towels and trash will not encourage the focus you need to complete all the work on your plate.
Everything in its right place
The first step in maintaining a harmonious living space is to find a place for everything. Invest in storage units with organizers if you haven't already. If you have them, use them. When everything is put away, your space will look instantly tidier.
Spiff it up
Once everything has a place, it's time to beautify your environment. An undecorated dorm room can easily seem like a prison cell — given the standard four cement walls, bed and dresser. People usually say "less is more." But in this case, the more you decorate your walls and cover up those concrete bricks and harsh tile floor, the better.
Zen your space
Even though this last tip may be more of a personal suggestion and less of a decorative tip, it's just as useful when trying to maintain harmony and create a positive study space.
It's essential that you mentally separate your work space and sleep or recreational space. Most of us have a desk of some kind in our dorms or apartments. Try to use your desk wisely and make the space conducive to studying. Make sure pens, Post-it notes, highlighters and other study tools are within close reach. Doing homework in bed, or attempting to do so, can be a destructive habit and make both sleep and productive work futile.
If you still find yourself unable to focus in your room, there are other options. Libraries, study rooms or even outside (if you live in a warm climate like me) are great places to get things done. They are also great escapes from your dorm room or roommate.
Dorm, Sweet, Dorm.
At Dormify, we believe that dorm rooms should be just as fun, hip and fashionable as the college students who live in them. We get it. You want to walk into the white-walled, four-by-four, tiled dorm room that tons of people have lived in before and feel like this space is all you. That's why our Dormify Style Advisors share so many creative and stylish design tips and tricks, do-it-yourself projects and design solutions with students across the country.
But our spirit for style doesn't end there. We also design fashionable bedding, wall art and other home accessories—created specifically for beautifying dorm rooms. Our imaginative products bring style, comfort and personality to college students everywhere through bold colors, patterns and overall design innovation. Above all else, we want students to feel at home in their new homes—by feeling inspired to style their space. So read our blogs, listen to our Style Advisors, and be sure to look out for our full e-commerce site launch with a full product line this April.
If you like us in real life, you should definitely like us on Facebook and you should also follow us on Twitter. So read our blogs, listen to our Style Advisors, and be sure to shop dormify.com for inspiring dorm décor products.

SPOKANE, Wash. – Thieves stole Red Bull from a South Spokane coffee shop but left a flat screen TV. The owner suspects high school kids and officers with the Spokane Police Department said it is something they are seeing over and over.
SPD leaders said they are seeing a rise in property crime. Some local businesses believe high school students are the culprits.
Black Tie Coffee on the South Hill was recently burglarized. The thieves took Red Bull and some cash, but they left a flat screen TV.
"The cash they took. The $150. That's a third of the day's sales," said owner William Quinn.
Customers and staff suspect high school students are to blame.
"One hundred and 50 dollars pay for a lot when you're a teenager," Quinn said.
"We do see an uptick in crime like this when it's warmer out, criminals don't like working in the cold and once school gets out, especially since kids are on their own and mom and dad are at work," said Officer Teresa Fuller.
SPD leaders do not track crime specific to neighborhoods around high schools but said the proximity can make businesses more vulnerable.
Authorities said officers will steak out hot spots until crime drops. Quinn said he appreciates that but said he will now be adding a security system to his business.
Other South Spokane business said they have not seen an increase in property crime but have seen an increase in vandalism and graffiti.

Ne-Yo This... And Ne-Yo That!!!
Been dealing with this whole drama about me saying in an interview that I was a lil' bored with the Urban scene lately. Well, it's true. I said it, and I meant it.
Just like anybody else, if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, no matter HOW much you love it, eventually you will get bored, and that's a normal person. Me, I have a very short attention span, always have, so I get bored EXTRA easy. So with everybody doin' the same ol' thing, wearing the same ol' thing, sounding the same..........MY question is, how is everybody else NOT bored??
I will always try to do something different. It's the whole essence of being an artist, evolution. Instead of giving them that "same ol'" urban music, Imma switch it up, try to add to the "urban" sound, expanding the minds and outlooks of music lovers.
Hell.....if Kanye can do it for hip hop, why can't I do it for R&B?? See you on the road.

The Philippines finally make it to the world cup
Wow. Six months since my last post. Whatever happened, I have to quit that.
I guess I got tired rooting for other countries in this year's world cup and looking out for the team jerseys in the shops. Even if the Philippines is virtually non-existent in football, I thought it would be cool to have a classy team jersey.
Here's what I think the Philippine Football Team ought to throw on their backs in our first ever world cup participation… in the distant future. I doubt in my lifetime. Well, I blame it on our dogged and futile obsession with basketball.
And I didn't know that was our motto. I got it from our FIFA page. Yes, those two stars embroidered over the heart are two world cup championships already. Yeah, shoot the moon.

TIMBUKTU, Mali — French troops began to withdraw from Timbuktu on Thursday after securing the fabled city as they ramped up their mission in another northern Malian city, searching for Islamist extremists who may be mixing among the local population.
Colonel Thierry Burkhard, a French military spokesman, said Thursday that the operation to secure Gao is still under way, nearly two weeks after French and Malian troops moved into the area. New clashes nearby raised questions about how solid a hold the French military has on the strategic area.

Nissan sets up shop at Nürburgring, christens new store with limited-edition 370Z
by Chris Paukert (RSS feed) on Jul 10th, 2009 at 4:29PM
With as much time as Nissan's engineers have been spending on the Nürburgring as of late, you'd think that they would've had the foresight to set up a permanent shop on the grounds of the iconic circuit. As it turns out, they have. Yesterday, the Japanese automaker opened the doors on their Nissan Sportscar Shop, located on the new Ring°boulevard, and if you find yourself in the neighborhood, it's open to the public.The 500 square meter facility features the usual assortment of branded goods, but of more pressing interest to enthusiasts will be the "370Z NÜRBURGRING...
