HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) - Tulip Time officials are pleased that Holland's annual signature festival was again named one of the top 100 events on the continent by the American Bus Association. It's the 21st time in the 30-year history of this list that Tulip Time has been included, making it one of 31 "annual events" that the ABA is giving special attention to. Catering to charter bus groups has been a staple for the festival, with around 100 coaches stopping in Holland on average annually. The 79th Tulip Time Festival is slated for May 5th through the 12th.

The lack of housing frustrates me. The problem is so many people start MMOs with WoW, and they get used to what WoW has and decide they don't want anything WoW doesn't. WoW doesn't have player/guild housing, so people get used to the idea of not having them, to the point where they don't see a use for them in other games. With 11 million WoW players not seeing the point of housing, makers of future MMOs don't see a point in adding housing that the WoW crowd won't care for, which ruins the variety in future MMOs too. I don't want all MMOs to be homogenized just because people are comfortable with WoW's stagnant situation on some features from other MMOs.
I'm convinced that if these players actually played a game with Housing, they'd learn to love it. FFXI and SWG and LotRO all have some form of housing, and the populations embrace them. In fact I think player housing is one of the things that's kept SWG from completely dying and closing down. It's oddly soothing to sit in your house and place objects you looted in the world, either as trophies of conquest or just some pretty objects you found. You'd be amazed at the impressive decorations people make in SWG just from random inane loot. Stuff like AT-ATs and X-Wings and Christmas trees and anything else you can think of, just from the SWG equivalent of vendor trash.
So yeah, I quite enjoy player/guild housing, thank you very much.
And to be a bit on-topic and constructive, you could easily add Guild Housing to WoW and keep players in cities. It's easy, just make Auction Houses and Banks only accessible from the cities themselves. Maybe put a guild bank in a Guild House, but everything else in the cities proper. It's the method Blizz has used to keep people using the Old Cities after Shatt and Dalaran, and I think it'd work here too.

They'd add the same thing tabards, vanity pets, titles, and achievements added.
RogueJedi86 said...
That's what I mean. People these days don't see the point of something if it doesn't increase their capability in combat. Like Vandersvelt said, some things are just for fun, like minipets and such. Having a nice little place to call your own is just nice. There's lots of fun to be had from things that are just for cosmetic value.
Though FFXI's housing allowed you to place furniture that had actual effects on your characters. I don't know which effects though, so some FFXI player could fill in the blanks there. I know you could also grow a garden in your house, with the crops being used for cooking and alchemy and such.
Hollow Leviathan said...
Dude! If they made Guild Halls, I should finally be able to take my Corehound Pup off the leash. And hang my tabards up in the closet, instead of in my bag taking up stupid space unlike my 30 dragons (!?).
Backing up Roguejedi with the FFXI housing bit: some of the items you put in your house were crafting related, (plants in particular, which can be harvested for several different items) others offered regeneration bonuses (something that is -incredibly- valuable in XI), but none are really huge, game changing buffs . The game uses an interesting elemental system to balance just what you could or couldn't benefit from at one time, but, again, there's nothing that's so overblown that you absolutely had to have it. If you want your holy elemental desk and your fire elemental plants, it's not going to ruin your raid (something that also works -very- differently in XI from WoW, so I'm speaking hypothetically here) by gimping your DPS or something.
Most of all, though, and here's the very, very important part: it's fun. The items are well designed and look great and there's something satisfying about filling your house up: it's a whole other game that you can play. Your home is also where you store items and change classes, so even if you're one of these hardcore "I only care about raiding and min/maxing" tools, you have a reason to pop in every so often. People keep going on about how it wouldn't serve any purpose, but neither do achievements (when they're not shoving a billion and one drakes down your throat) or small pets, in the grand scheme of phat lootz acquisition.
And come to think of it, why would people no longer suffocating the cities with sheer numbers be a bad thing? I don't give a shit about Blood Elf number 44124 dancing on a mailbox in Dalaran. There're plenty of global channels (let's assume housing will be centralized in cities, where Trade, LFG, and other city-linked chat channels are enabled) where people can advertise trading, raids, roleplaying... whatever. I don't remember the last time I walked up to someone and said with /say "can you do Berserking?"
Not to mention fewer people taking up space means fewer mammoths blocking the view and less lag. All good things in my book.
Having your own personal plot of herbs to gather sounds like something Blizzard wouldn't go for. Why go out into the world, perhaps risking life and limb, to get frost lotus, when you can just pull it out of your cave of vanity? What's next, letting fountains spew abyss crystals?
For the record, a tangible benefit does not have to mean an increase in stats or combat ability. More storage space could be a tangible benefit, for example; You don't go swinging your bags around in combat! But wait, that's what the bank is for. I mentioned this in another comment, how it would be cheaper to just increase the number of bank slots we have than provide housing that does the same thing.
So you want to decorate an interior space for no reason? Go play The Sims, then. If you're not going to be able to show your space off to anyone else, then the effect is the same. Even if you could show it off, who is actually going to care enough to say something like, "I love how you put Nefarion's head over the mantle, very chic!"
Ultimately, what these fantasies of housing do is introduce something to Warcraft that (I think, anyways) it just doesn't need. And anything that it can provide on a personal, character (or account) level will be either very lackluster or detrimental to the game. If you don't think so, then try and spin a version of housing that: does not confer an advantage over other players (either economically or otherwise), provides a needed service that is not provided by other systems (such as the bank), and would not be detrimental to any player's experience (framerate/lag issues).

IBW 2013: A Week in Review
International Babywearing Week (IBW) was a blast! We had so much going on that I hardly remembered being 38 weeks pregnant. It made me oh-so-appreciative for toddlerwearing, too!
Please visit our Facebook page to see some of the images of us "getting carried away," which was the theme for 2013.
Our week started in Houston with a gorgeous weather on Monday, beautiful babywearing families, funky blue crepe myrtles (The Blue Trees), and professional photographers Courteney Miller of Once Upon A Lifetime Photography and Alexander Mayhill of Newlife Photos.
Tuesday, we met at Milroy Park in the Heights and practiced babywearing with traditional household fabrics: towels, sarongs or pareos, and tableclothes. It was a beautiful morning with lots of laughs.
On Wednesday, directed by the generous Janaki Mayhill, we experienced intense closeness with our little ones at the tranquil Pilates Place of The Woodlands. Our "babywearing yoga" session started with a lavender oil massage that started with their tiny feet and worked up to their heads. Once little ones were secured into wraps, SSCs, and mei tais, we moved through some gentle stretches and poses that, no matter how gentle, had us all sweaty by the end of class — sweaty yet energized! Courtney Zadik of Cocoa's Dream Photography, a babywearing mama herself, documented the class.
For "Tutorial Thursday," I had everyone over for a dolly sling sewing day. The kids played together while the adults busied themselves at sewing machines making baby carriers for our little "mommies and daddies" to hold their baby dolls, cars, stuffed animals, and any other precious items.
Friday was another gorgeous day, and we took full advantage of it! For three amazing hours, babywearers enjoyed the splash pad at Sawmill Park in The Woodlands, where we talked parenting, cloth diapers, carseats, pregnancy and birth, and of course babywearing, while the little ones kept busy with the water, play set, and picnic snacks.
We wrapped up IBW with our monthly Saturday meeting, where we discussed airway safety, optimal positioning, and carrier types. We helped fit several caregivers with a compatible carrier; for some, it was ring slings and others, toddler SSCs. We also showed a mother how to use her SSC to carry her child on her back. It was another fun meeting helping each other find (and maintain!) the babywearing love.
How did you celebrate the week? We'd love to hear from you!

Northside, Third Tuesday meeting recap
What a wonderful turn out Tuesday at the South branch library in The Woodlands!
We had a great mix of veteran babywearers and newcomers, including several Volunteer Babywearing Educators (VBEs) and VBE trainees who made the trek up north. A few students from Angelique's Babywearing Institute certification class also attended.
Lauren began the introductions by talking about baby's airway and spine health while being worn. Jacquie discussed different types of carriers.
Next, Mary divided the group for some hands-on work with specific carrier types. She worked with those curious about soft structured carriers and mei tais. Emily shared her knowledge about woven and stretchy wraps, and Ang and Jacquie partnered up to lead the ring sling group.
Alicia, who is a VBE for BWI of Cleveland, Ohio, and a student from Angelique's class helped a mother tandem carry her twins.
I helped welcome three new members and checked out a couple of carriers. The library also received a wonderful donation: an Infantino Union (soft structured carrier).
It was a great meeting that went by all too quickly! We hope to see you at our next event, and for more pictures of the fun, please be sure to stop by our Facebook page.
Happy babywearing!

just my little place on the web to inflict my thoughts upon the world as i wish
Started the garden beds for this year too…some of my own stuff in there, some transplants from nurseries. First bed has two cucumbers from my own seed along with six corn plants from my own seed and two eggplant from a nursery. The second bed has six lima bean plants from my own seed, three tomatoes from nurseries, one volunteer tomato from the compost, four bell peppers from nurseries and two jalapenos from nurseries. And more to come still!!

So I ripped out the zucchini today. I love zucchini, but it takes up SO much room. And I don't have a lot of room :( I only have an 8x4 bed as my main garden and the zucchini got so big that it started to cover up everything else and the poor okra couldn't get any sun. In it's place though, I planted the 2 eggplant, 2 jalapeno, and banana pepper plant that I've grown from seed. They were getting rootbound in their containers.

Lots of compliments!
"These boots are cute and comfy! I've worn them almost every day since getting them in the mail, not a blister in sight. Order a size up! I'm normally a 6.5/7 and I ordered a 7.5 It's a bit of a struggle getting the boots on if I choose to wear them with a pair of skinny pants, but they look good once they're on."

A little tricky
"You really have to wear these boots a lot to get them just right. It's tight getting them on and tight getting them off. They are really very, very nice boots, I do actually really like this brand, they keep up very nicely. The bottoms are soft, so don't go out immediately on a wet surface. The aesthetics though, I really love, just a gorgeous boot. Contemplating getting them in another color, honestly."

Proform 415 LT Treadmill Review
Treadmill Doctor Note:
Arguably the worst value Proform ever. Just when we thought they had turned the corner, they release the 415 LT.
Sponsored link:
Overall Rating: 3.90
Sponsored link:
Avoid this treadmill like you would avoid the bubonic plague.
The Proform 415 LT is a disappointing treadmill to say the least. Proform had been steadily improving recently, but they really set themselves back with this model. Even at $699, you're paying too much for it. Considering how hard it is to find a quality machine at this low of a price, that's really saying something.
The walking area is fairly small, which isn't uncommon for such an inexpensive treadmill. The walking belt measures in at 18" x 50", this is significantly smaller than you're standard 20" x 60" belt. If you have a long stride, you may be tempted to run too close to the console with this model. This can force you to alter your stride, which has the potential to lead to injury.
The motor on this machine is pathetic. You usually see treadmills with this little power producing capabilities selling for about $300 less than this one. Theoretically, you can reach speeds of up to 10 mph with this model, but if you try to use this model for anything other than occasional, light walking, the structure and drive system won't hold up for long.
The cushioning system is one of the worst we seen. TreadSoft Cushioning is used to reduce the impact of running on your joints and back. It's better than pavement, but most treadmills will provide a much more forgiving surface. Luckily, if you try to run on it, you'll cause more damage to the machine than you will your body.
The projected reliability of this treadmill is its bright spot. As long as it's used correctly, it will have one of the longest life expectancies of any sub-$1,000 model. The quality of parts is very good for a machine that costs $699.
It's one of the louder models you're going to find. In this price range, that's not particularly surprising, but you can do better if you know where to look. If low price and quietness are major concerns for you, you're going to have to do your homework to find a model that suits your needs.
The warranty for the Proform 415 LT is horrible. Parts and labor are covered for 90 days and the motor is covered for 10 years. We don't blame them for offering this type of coverage. We blame them for making a treadmill that made them feel they couldn't offer better coverage.
General Information
These products are produced by Icon Health and Fitness. They are the largest retail fitness company. This is one of the original Icon brands and can be found in most mass merchants. They typically range between $500 and $1,500 and have short warranties for the most part, although we have seen a shift in regard to that on mainly motors in some units. The higher end units have much longer warranties. The gee-whiz factor is high on these machines because they are packed with features, but some of these features can be glitch prone. Except for the higher priced units with a selling price of $1000 or more, we wouldn't recommend these for serious runners, but the quality of the machine is so much better than those produced just a few years ago. Most people who are walkers or occasional joggers will be satisfied with the new Proforms.
Quality / Philosophy
Proform is produced by Icon, a company with thousands of employees and large resources. Put simply, their machines have the best design in the business. Icon has a long, storied history that provides an example of how the big keep getting bigger. Icon used to be the mass-market darling because of their cheap prices, but they had the quality to match. These days they put quality into the machines and pack them with features. On the low end, expect low quality, but that is more of a function of price rather than engineering. Proform is still saddled with many problematic models from their past, but the quality has rapidly improved, especially with their machines in the $900 and up range.
Icon is the largest fitness equipment producer in the world with over $1 billion in sales. If the fitness industry were a solar system, Icon is so powerful that they would be the Sun. In terms of stability they are the best, but overall their customer service isn't up to the standards of any of the lower volume producers. They have promised an improvement on this and have new management in the service department, so we hope this helps. Although you get a value price for the product, you also get value service, so keep this in mind when buying their machines. Due to the sheer number of units they produce, we pick up support in many cases where this factory leaves off.

DoJ Inspector General Fine steps down
Monday - 11/29/2010, 6:03pm EST
Federal News Radio
Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine is stepping down.
Fine has served at DoJ for more than 15 years, according to a release Monday.
As the department's chief internal watchdog, Fine said in 2008 that former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales mishandled intelligence documents during the Bush administration, Business Week reports.
Last year, Fine issued a report that a former department official took politics into consideration when hiring career lawyers, Business Week reports.
"In the Justice Department's most critical operations and practices, especially our efforts to combat corruption, fraud, waste and abuse, the work done by the Office of the Inspector General is essential," said Attorney General Eric Holder in a statement. "Thanks to Glenn's outstanding leadership, this Office has never been stronger."

Why not a lead box?
The professional quality of these little presentations really impresses me. If they represent the quality of the mod itself, we are in for a treat :)
what in Curie's name is a shelled active gamma atom?
Antiradiation gamma particles that are harmfull to bio mass unless the particles are 'shelled'. 'Shelling' is a process that requires a high voltage electricity compression around them. This enables the particles to take physical form in iron material and the iron lids of these containers have all been created with such process. Radiation emitted towards and around this 'active material' is then neutralized slightly.
This is one of the two reason why these containers are so expensive.
Found in any colour, any shape and with any kind of physical impact artifacts are the hidden gems of the Zone.
With powerful particles and strange emittation they have an extremely high trading value outside the Zone.
Several companies are interested in these artifacts for either scientific or industrial purposes and some hire Stalkers to risk their lives trying to obtain either a specific type or just any type of artifact.
Stalkers are well aware that these artifacts must be treated with the outmost respect as they are powerful tools that affect body and mind when being handled without the right gear and outfit.
With a bit of knowledge they can be used as helpful assets with their particle effects. But this comes at a price unless handled properly.
No Stalker with a healthy mind wears any artifact in his pocket knowing that illness and harmfull mutation will soon commence. He wears it in a specially designed artifact container that filters possive and negative energy in a constellation og multiple particle filters.
The more positive energy artifacts emit the more radiating they are also. There are 3 levels of 'artifact energy'.
Artifact containers are used to control or filter such radiation emitted from artifacts. They also come in different forms and qualities but they are all attached to either belt or suit as tradeable armour attachments.
It is important that you equip the container to your suit before applying the artifact for its beneficial purpose.
Go get your artifact container before even thinking about experimenting with these radiating gems.

Police probe Manchester shooting - updated at 11:55 a.m.Staff Report | December 31,2012By Patrick McArdle
MANCHESTER - A local man who was shot on Sunday evening told police he was the victim of a drive-by shooting but police are still investigating the circumstances that resulted in the gunshot wound, according to Manchester Police Chief Michael Hall.
Hall said on Monday morning that he believed Donald Ely-Gardner, 27, of Manchester, was no longer in life-threatening danger because of the wound.
Ely-Gardner was taken to the Manchester Police Department by a friend at around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. He appeared to have been shot in the chest.
Hall said the gunshot wound appeared to have been caused by a small-caliber handgun.
Around 9 a.m. Monday, Hall said that, after a preliminary investigation, police believe Ely-Gardner had been at home with a friend, William Nichols Jr., in Manchester on Sunday evening. Hall said Ely-Gardner told Nichols he was going out for cigarettes around 8:30 p.m.
A short time later, Ely-Gardner called Nichols to say he had been shot. He told his friend he was on Route 7A about 200 feet south of the new roundabout at the intersection of Routes 11/30 and 7A, Hall said.
Hall said Nichols told police he went to the scene, found Ely-Gardner in a parking lot and brought him to the Manchester Police Department which is farther north on Route 7A.
The Manchester Rescue Squad took Ely-Gardner to the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington. He was later taken by helicopter to the Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center where he had been listed in critical condition early this morning.
However, by 9 a.m., Hall said he believed Ely-Gardner was no longer considered to be in life-threatening danger.
The only information that police got from Ely-Gardner was that he had been shot by a passing driver.
"We're still processing the crime scene up there and still gathering evidence at this point," Hall said.
While police were doing their on-site investigation, Hall said they might face some challenges because a light snow was beginning to fall in Manchester on Monday morning.
Hall said police had no reason to believe there was an immediate danger to the public.
Ely-Gardner has a criminal history in the area.
He currently has seven felony charges pending for violation of an abuse prevention order. The charges were felonies based on Ely-Gardner's previous convictions for violating abuse prevention orders in November 2004.
In that case, a woman reported to the Bennington Police Department on July 11 that Ely-Gardner had been sending her text messages in violation of a relief from abuse order issued in April. Sgt. David Dutcher said he had contacted the Manchester Police Department, because Ely-Gardner lives in Manchester, and asked that Ely-Gardner be cited and given new conditions of release which re-stated that he was not to have contact with the woman.
The woman called Dutcher later on July 11 to report that Ely-Gardner had sent her text messages within about 45 minutes of being released by the Manchester police.
Ely-Gardner also has a pending charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
In March, 2010, he was convicted by a jury of domestic assault in Bennington criminal court.
Both Hall and Bennington County State's Attorney Erica Marthage said they were not expecting to host a press conference on the incident on Monday.

Aircell Sets Broadband Pricing for Bizav
Aircell said it will charge a flat monthly fee of $1,495 for unlimited access to its air-to-ground broadband data service by business aviation users. "We believe all-you-can-use pricing makes the most sense for the business aviation market," said Aircell CEO Jack Blumenstein at last week's AEA convention in Washington D.C., adding that per-passenger pricing models will be rolled out for fractional jet owners after the broadband service debuts later this year. The broadband hardware needed to access the service aboard large-cabin business jets, which Blumenstein said will be similar to the two-antenna data systems being installed now on a number of American Airlines Boeing 767s, will cost $125,000. He added that lower-priced systems for smaller business jets will also be offered. Aircell, meanwhile, announced that access to its GoGo broadband Internet service for airline passengers will cost $9.95 on flights of less than three hours and $12.95 for longer flights. A nationwide network of 92 broadband sites will provide coverage across the U.S. above 10,000 feet. Blumenstein said Aircell can rapidly expand the network to as many as 500 ground sites to meet future capacity demand.

text: The Great Kick-StartFamily TiesBy Cheryl Weber Photos: Courtesy B3 ArchitectsAu Courant With its glass walls and swoosh roofline, the multigenerational house telegraphs its accomodation to today's lifestyles and values, though the envelop can be modified for traditional tastes. The living spaces' glazing and operable louvers are designed for a southern orientation. The overhangs shelter the entry and create covered courtyards. Exterior surface materials can range from metal to fiber cement to tile, and the fascia can be fitted with integrated photovoltaics.The single-family home is under tremendous pressure these days. Tight credit makes any home hard to buy, and the uncertain economy makes purchasing a house unattractive for anything other than a long-term investment. With traditional floor plans failing to lure sidelined buyers, Builder asked architect Barry Berkus of B3 Architects | Berkus Design Studio, based in Santa Barbara, Calif., to forge new ground by brainstorming ideas that might lead us out of the recession. One thing is clear: With a residential sector rocked by economic, cultural, and demographic changes, the time is ripe for reinvention.Specifically, the economic upheaval is reviving interest in multigenerational housing as Americans of all ages contemplate more efficient and constructive ways of living. Aging parents, many facing smaller nest eggs, are seeking alternatives to expensive assisted-living facilities. Add to that job uncertainty for household heads and unemployed college graduates boomeranging back home. According to Census Bureau data, 50 million Americans lived in multigenerational homes in 2009—11 percent more than in 2007."What is the most important thing you can do now to restart the building industry? In my mind it's to change the relationships in a house so it fits a family that's getting more mature," Berkus says. "It's hard to find new houses that live comfortably for a nuclear family but can also accommodate extended family and even the unrelated."Free AssociationA multitasking floor plan lets buyers set up houses any way they please.Photos: Courtesy B3 Architects; Berkus Design StudioFirst FloorPhotos: Courtesy B3 Architects; Berkus Design StudioSecond FloorPhotos: Courtesy B3 Architects; Berkus Design StudioThird FloorMultigenerational living has long-term appeal beyond the current economy. It's common practice among minorities, which, according to the Pew Research Center, accounted for 74 percent of U.S. net household growth between 2003 and 2009. What minorities have long known is that there's strength in numbers: Shared housing functions as daycare for older adults, live-in help for children, and housing support for the unemployed or underemployed. More than an austerity mindset, generationally mixed habitats have potential emotional benefits: Families discover richness in authenticity, story-telling, and creativity.The following schemes are not all that different from how our great-grandparents lived. Yet they're far more appealing to modern families who value independence and privacy. How do you overcome people's reluctance to live together? As these two prototypes show, it's by offering clever floor plans that commingle common gathering spaces with living suites and separate entrances. More important, both prototypes can start as one thing and morph into another.Berkus' first scheme is compact, stacked, and easy to build on an urban or suburban lot. The first floor has a central gathering space containing living, dining, and cooking functions. An adjacent bedroom suite—with a sitting area, kitchenette, and separate entrance—could be used by parents, grandparents, or, if zoning allows, an unrelated renter.Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family room that works equally well as a traditional home office. "A second living room would give the people upstairs a place to relax if someone was using the lower-floor living room," Berkus says. Additionally, the detachable garage/carriage house welcomes the bounce-back kid—or a paying tenant. Call it the entrepreneurial approach to homeownership. This model taps into a massive audience interested in making their house the piggy bank it once was, and will be again.Berkus estimates a cost-to-build of $80 to $100 per square foot using the roof form, louvers, and curtain wall glazing systems shown in the large renderings—add more for steel or flyash concrete framing and solar panels. Simple wood framing, shed roofs, and smaller windows would bring costs down to roughly $60 per square foot, depending on the geographic region.Photos: Courtesy B3 Architects; Berkus Design StudioSpice of Life The prototype also adapts to regional styles and tastes with simple changes to the roofline, window openings, and exterior materials.Photos: Courtesy B3 Architects; Berkus Design StudioPhotos: Courtesy B3 Architects; Berkus Design StudioGrounds for ChangeLand plans rethink the suburban layout of houses lined up along the street. At left are five units and their detached garages with an apartment or studio above, organized around gardens, walkways, and an orchard. This configuration works as a family compound, for buyers with common interests, or for seniors wishing to rent out parts of their house. The scheme also scales up into entire neighborhoods.Photos: Courtesy B3 ArchitectsPhotos: Courtesy B3 ArchitectsPhotos: Courtesy B3 Architects 1 2 Next Advertisement Keywords: SubjectDesign Cost-Effective Design Multifamily Aging in PlacePersonBarry A.

The Skinny Pregnancy: When Putting on Weight Is Easier Said than Done
Nausea isn't the only culprit. Dr. Ellis says, "Women who are thin often have to work harder to gain the weight. Sometimes they exercise and need to eat for both the exercise and the pregnancy. At times they just have higher metabolic rates."
Melanie Nicsinger of Overland Park, Kansas, has always been a size three. "It's hard for me to gain weight even if I try, and pregnancy was no exception," she says. By her twentieth week of pregnancy, she had gained nothing, although her doctor wanted her to gain at least 28 pounds and possibly as much as 35. "I definitely think it is possible that women who are naturally thin can experience trouble putting on pounds." Johnson concurs with this thinking. "Sometimes it is simply in the woman's genes not to gain much weight during pregnancy."
Eating Disorders
Eight million people in the US experience eating disorders, so many women come to pregnancy having either overcome an eating disorder or while they are still struggling with one. Dr. Ellis recommends being open with your healthcare providers about eating disorders. "I very frankly discuss with [women] at the first visit that we will be focusing on her weight at each visit." She recommends that women who have had eating disorders see a registered dietitian and a mental health provider if they think they will feel the urge to diet or purge during pregnancy.
Staying Positive
If your healthcare provider is not worried about your lack of weight gain, you shouldn't be either. When you know you're doing everything you can to have a healthy baby, it doesn't matter what others think or say. Nicsinger remembers hearing a lot of comments about how she was too thin and speculation about how great it would be to see her bigger. "People think they can make comments about how you look when you're thin. I just wish people would realize that no one wants to hear that they're 'too' anything, especially when you're pregnant."
Dr. Ellis agrees with this point of view. "Women need to be encouraged to embrace their pregnant and post-pregnancy bodies and give themselves the gift of love, care, and forgiveness. Society needs to support women during pregnancy and not hold women to impossible, unreachable weight standards."

Based on the other reviews it seems that the quality of this bracelet varies. For the price, I was willing to give it a try but I received one of the duds apparently. My expectations were in line with the low price but honestly, it's difficult to tell there are diamonds on it - it just looks like a nice metal bracelet. The clasp is great and love the style but am returning it as there is absolutely no shine to mine at all. I saw many reviews that raved about the shine so I tried many different light sources - really wanted this but even at the low price, not worth it :(
Absolutely beautiful! Great craftsmanship shines and sparkles. A perfect fit for a 7-inch wrist. Much better than the other silver bracelet-also 2 ct that I bought. Makes a statement of sophistication. I recommend it if a person likes bold jewelry. This is my first large bracelet; I am prepared to enjoy it. The picture does not do it justice, looks better live. Super fast shipping! Way to go Overstock!!!!!!!!!!!
Bought this for my wife and she loved it!!! When item arrived I was surprise to see what a beautiful bracelet this is for the price. She recieves compliments everytime she wears it which intern makes me look like the hero. Thank you Overstock
Two carats. of diamonds for the unheard of price of less than $100.. This is a very well made bracelet. . I priced this item online with other e-retailers, no one came close. What sparkle and presence. Do not pass this one up. A great Valentines' Day gift Guys, this is the one.............................................
This bracelet is beautiful and looks much more expensive than the price. One warning - it can get caught on your clothing so do not wear it with any delicate materials. I wanted to wear it for my wedding but I didn't want to risk snagging my wedding gown. I did keep it b/c it is a piece you will be able to wear with a lot of things!
Thos was the cheapest bracelet I have ever seen pawned as a silver bracelet. If you looked closely enough, some of the so called diaminds were actually plastic beads. Cheap, and would NOT recommend to anyone unless you like garbage jewellery.
This is a very pretty bracelet. The only disappointment was that it was not as sparkly as I expected, but it is very well made. It is a great accent piece.
this product was not at all like the photo, i even returned this
I love the new bracelet, however, it does snag on any item you wear. Fashionable to wear daily.
My sister was with me the first time I wore it and literally took it off my arm and put it on hers. She smiled and said "now you don't have to get mr a birthday present. "I want this". What could I say? Shd made her mind up and I love making her happy....but I really loved it!!!!

The president and the hunger strikeMay 02,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
President Barack Obama said a lot of important things Tuesday about the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It is a blight on the nations reputation. It mocks U.S. standards of justice by keeping people imprisoned without charges. It has actually hindered the prosecution and imprisonment of dangerous terrorists.
Even if Guantanamo seemed justified to some people in the immediate aftermath of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, those justifications are wearing thin. It is unsustainable and should be closed.
We were pleased that Obama pledged to make good, finally, on his promise to do just that. But that reaction was tempered by the fact that he has failed to do so for five years and that he has not taken steps within his executive power to transfer prisoners long ago cleared for release. Obamas plans to try to talk Congress into removing obstacles to closing the prison do not reflect the urgency of the crisis facing him now.
As of Tuesday morning, Charlie Savage reported in The Times, 100 of the 166 inmates at Guantanamo are participating in a hunger strike against their conditions and indefinite detention. Twenty-one have been approved for force-feeding, which involves the insertion of a tube through their nostrils and down their throats.
Obama defended the practice.
I dont want these individuals to die, he said.
Most people dont. But a recently published bipartisan report on detainee treatment by the Constitution Project said forced feeding of detainees is a form of abuse and must end.
The World Medical Association has long considered forced feeding a violation of a physicians ethics when it is done against a competent persons express wishes, a point that was reinforced April 25 by Dr. Jeremy Lazarus, president of the American Medical Association, in a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
There is no indication that the inmates being force-fed were unconscious or incapable of making decisions. And virtually all inmates at Guantanamo have never been charged with any crime and never will be. Nearly 90 have been cleared for release, and another large group can never be tried because they were tortured or there is no evidence they were involved in a particular attack. Only six are facing active charges before a military tribunal.
Obama was asked about the hunger strike at a White House news conference.
I think it is critical, he said, for us to understand that Guantanamo is not necessary to keep America safe. It is expensive. It is inefficient. It hurts us in terms of our international standing. It lessens cooperation with our allies on counterterrorism efforts. It is a recruitment tool for extremists.
Obama said permanent detention without trial is contrary to who we are. It is contrary to our interests.MORE IN CommentaryWith regard to the article in the paper, Lawsuit: Trooper illegally seized car by Josh...

HoopsHype Oklahoma City rumors
Kawhi Leonard is out for the remainder of tonight's home game against Oklahoma City and beyond with a non-displaced fracture of his right fourth metacarpal, the Spurs announced. A timeline for his return has yet to be determined. Teammate Danny Green was recently sidelined for approximately four weeks with a non-displaced fracture of his second left metacarpal. San Antonio Express-News
Aldridge on the commercial with Lopez: "That was fun. First of all, he's the worst singer I've ever been around." Aldridge made fun of Damian Lillard's singing in the locker room last week after their win against Oklahoma City and he said that Lopez indeed takes the cake. "He can't get rhythms. We were trying to get him to do the part that I did and he couldn't do it," Aldridge said with a chuckle. The Columbian
Oklahoma City center Kendrick Perkins has returned to Texas because of the passing of his grandfather and will miss the Thunder's next two games, league sources told Yahoo Sports on Wednesday. Perkins won't play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday at Staples Center, nor against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night in Oakland, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Yahoo! Sports
The Lakers' 320-game home sellout streak ended when Staples wound up 571 spectators shy of the 18,997 capacity for the game against the New Orleans Pelicans. A Lakers game not selling out?! It hadn't happened for seven years (Dec. 6, 2006 against the Oklahoma City/New Orleans Hornets). That was so long ago that the NBA was using what wound up as a temporary new microfiber composite basketball—and Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, Luke Walton and Lamar Odom joined Kobe Bryant in the Lakers' starting lineup. Bleacher Report
Who do you want taking the final shot with the game on the line? General Managers around the NBA say Kevin Durant. For many years that question was one Kobe Bryant owned in the annual NBA.com GM survey, but for the second straight GMs picked the scoring machine out of Oklahoma City over him. This year 39.3 percent of GMs went with Durant, 32.1 percent with Kobe, while Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James each got 7.1 percent of the vote. NBCSports.com
The Oklahoma City Thunder waived center Daniel Orton, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti. Orton appeared in 13 games with the Thunder during the 2012-13 season, averaging 2.5 points and 2.0 rebounds in 8.0 minutes per contest. NBA.com
Kobe Bryant has the third-most popular selling NBA jersey worldwide, according to the league. Based on global sales from Adidas, LeBron James of the Miami Heat topped the list for the first time in his career. Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls placed second. The Lakers star finished ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant, who was followed by Miami's Dwyane Wade at No. 5 and Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks at No. 6. Los Angeles Times
The saying goes "One can judge a man by the company he keep." That gem of a quote is credited to Euripides, 480 B.C. Yet, it could just as easily apply to Oklahoma City Thunder chairman Clay Bennett. Since bringing an NBA franchise to his home state, the Oklahoma City native has stayed pretty much in the shadows, letting general manager Sam Presti be the public face of the organization. However, the business mogul and civic leader gave Oklahomans a rare glimpse into his personal life when he was inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame. What stood out to them most about his induction was who he chose to present him. He went with NBA legend Bill Russell. Bennett didn't choose the Hall of Fame center just to show off. He did it for the simplest of reasons. Russell is a friend. "I have had a very nice relationship with Bill," Bennett said. "I thought it might be fun to bring him to Oklahoma. And let others hear and enjoy him as I have. He was very gracious to accept. I am honored he would be here." Tahlequah Daily Press
But Bennett agreed to speak to The Oklahoman in advance of the Hall of Fame induction. And it's clear he's thrilled with what has become of his hometown. "I have always been proud of Oklahoma City," Bennett said. "I have always been proud it's been my home, but there were those years when I knew we were an inferior place to live, compared to many other cities throughout the country. We did not have the assets and amenities that others had. And I had a desire to be impactful in terms of supporting our city and helping it develop and grow. And was fortunate with many, many others to have that opportunity and see some of these things come together." Oklahoman
As a teenager, Bennett dreamed of owning the Dallas Cowboys. In the '80s, Bennett even looked into that very prospect one of the two times the Cowboys were for sale. But the Cowboys never were leaving Dallas. What Bennett has wanted most was a franchise for his hometown. "It's always been a big deal to Clay, since he became a young adult, that Oklahoma City got some kind of major league franchise," Ike Bennett said. "Always felt like that's what Oklahoma City needed to get put on the map." Oklahoman
The Utah Jazz announced today the team's eight-game 2013 preseason schedule which will feature three home games at EnergySolutions Arena. Utah will play the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers twice each during the preseason, while also facing the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors. NBA.com

League sources told CBSSports.com that one of the possibilities that Leiweke has identified is teaming Pritchard with Oklahoma City assistant GM Troy Weaver, whose name has been attached to several front-office searches in the past two years. It is unclear whether the Raptors have reached out to the Thunder to ask permission to interview Weaver, though it is highly unlikely that Oklahoma City would grant permission for Weaver to entertain a lateral move.

Nike stands with Kevin Durant to support the victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes. $1M worth of Nike products will be donated to those affected by the storms, and the profits from Oklahoma City KD V Elites sold on Nike.com between May 23 and June 15 will go towards Oklahoma Relief efforts. Nike.com
If you're like me or my friend Trey Kerby, this photo of Russell Westbrook high-fiving a young victim of the tornado that devastated Oklahoma City and Moore, Okla., on Monday filled your heart to bursting, and also made you want to know a little bit more about the injured Oklahoma City Thunder point guard's new friend. First off: The little guy is Grayson Ketchie. He's 3 years old, he's the big brother of a 6-month-old named Brayden and, based on the company he keeps, appears to be a boss. On Monday afternoon, the brothers were at a day care facility destroyed by the storm; while Brayden came out unscathed, Grayson did sustain some injuries, which landed him in the Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center. Yahoo! Sports
So as he watched the horrifying images Monday as a tornado ripped through suburban Moore, the emotions came bubbling to the surface and so did the need to help. Durant pledged $1 million for tornado relief through his family foundation on Tuesday, eager to help a devastated area begin to rebuild. "As the day went on and I saw the footage and the casualties and the houses being blown away, it was tough to see," said Durant, who was in Minneapolis to watch longtime friend Monica Wright play a preseason game for the Minnesota Lynx. "I call Oklahoma City my home. I go through Moore all the time. It's unfortunate. We're going to come together as a city like we always do and we're going to bounce back." ESPN.com
Brian Mahoney: Thunder owner Clay Bennett on @Kevin Durant making $1 million donation. "As extraordinary as that number is, it does not surprise me a bit." Twitter @briancmahoney
I met Presti two weeks before the start of training camp at the Oklahoma City National Memorial, a site that commemorates, powerfully, the city's defining tragedy: the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Presti shook my hand in the lobby, quickly and firmly, and then proceeded to say nothing for many minutes. The museum's director was giving us a tour, and Presti seemed relieved to cede the floor completely to her. He wore a polo shirt, casual pants, fashionable glasses and hip sneakers. He was very slim — no excess — and was fidgeting a lot, bouncing rhythmically at the knees. We were at the memorial because, as Presti told me later, "This place is part of our existence." Presti sits on the memorial's board, and he makes sure that every player who joins the Thunder visits the site before he ever plays a game. The idea is to teach them the character of the citizenry they've just joined, to help them recognize, as Tom Brokaw put it on the night of the bombing, Oklahomans' "essential sense of goodness, community and compassion."

There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method.
The idea that art is art, outside of self and taste and worth. That is the question I am grappling with tonight. Intellectually, I believe that it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of something I've created. In practice, of course, that's not a truth. I am just as human as anyone else, stymied by negativity.
Then I watch this goddamned documentary 'Scott Walker: 30 Century Man' and am confronted with a man who seems to walk the walk and not just talk the talk (like me). To just create, to just wholly and utterly give birth to what is inside of you, and not disown it or vilify it or praise it, but let it go, unjudged. To be pleased with the process, alone, and unfettered by what anyone thinks…this is the ultimate goal.

Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Hi Kerry, Love your column! I have a question about the 2-2 goal in the Leafs-Bruins game Wednesday night, when David Krejci made contact with Mikhail Grabovski into the James Reimer, and the puck went off Grabo and in. I'm not saying it shouldn't have been a goal, but shouldn't it have been reviewed? It looked like goalie interference by knocking an opposing player into the goalie. Is there such a thing? Thanks, Craig Pinhey
Let me go one step farther; I'm saying the Bruins' second goal (video link) should have been disallowed due to interference created by David Krejci who was ultimately credited with the goal.
James Reimer made the initial save on a shot off the stick of Brad Marchand from the right slot offering up a subsequent rebound that popped into the air. Mikhail Grabovski had first position at the goal crease and prior to gaining possession to clear the puck, Grabovski was contacted/checked from behind by David Krejci with a reverse bump as he crashed the crease. The illegal contact by Krejci caused Grabo to fall into the goal crease, thereby depositing both the puck and Leafs goalie James Reimer into the net.
Two potential rule options apply to David Krejci's action on Mikhail Grabovski at the crease that resulted in a goal.
Assuming Grabovski did not yet have possession of the puck a minor penalty for interference under rule 56.2 can be applied. ("A minor penalty shall be imposed on an attacking player who deliberately checks a defensive player, including the goalkeeper, who is not in possession of the puck.")
Rule 69.1 can also be applied given the fact that James Reimer's ability to defend his goal was greatly impaired through the resulting contact in his crease caused by David Krejc. ("If a defending player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by an attacking player so as to cause the defending player to come into contact with his own goalkeeper, such contact shall be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, and if a necessary a penalty assessed to the attacking player and if a goal is scored it would be disallowed.")
Even if you come to the conclusion that the puck passed over Reimer's shoulder just prior to being contacted by Grabovski the fact remains that Reimer's "ability to move freely within his crease without being hindered by the actions of an attacking player" existed as also stated in 69.1. The interference that resulted from David Krejci's subtle crease crash manufactured a Bruins dirty goal.
Let me address a different situation from the Ducks-Wings game where the puck entered the net along with Red Wings goalie, Jimmy Howard and resulted in an immediate wave-off by Referee Wes McCauley. As Kyle Palmieri joined the rush he used a free-hand grab to slingshot past Detroit defenceman Brian Lashoff just inside the Wings blue line. Lashoff gave chase and shoved Palmeiri to the ice from a good 10 feet in front of Jimmy Howard as Emerson Etem threw the puck at the net from the corner. Howard controlled the puck as he was crashed into by the sliding Palmieri; placing both Howard and the puck into the net.
This dirty goal was immediately and appropriately waved off by McCauley when he ruled the play dead prior to the puck entering the net. There is a fine line between the Refs ability to judge the play under two different applications found in rule 69—Interference on the Goalkeeper. One results in a legal goal while the other is disallowed.
First rule 69.1 tells us that, "If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player so as to cause him to come into contact with the goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for the purpose of this rule, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact." The push from Lashoff occurred some distance from the crease and it may or may not be reasonable to expect that Palmeiri could have made some effort to slow his slide/crash into Howard. I saw a reverse angle look where Paleiri was sliding on his hands and knees with his eyes focused on Jimmy Howard.
The second option falls under 69.6, "In the event that a goalkeeper has been pushed into the net together with the puck by an attacking player after making a stop, the goal will be disallowed. If applicable, appropriate penalties will be assessed. If, however, in the opinion of the Referee, the attacking player was pushed or otherwise fouled by a defending player causing the goalkeeper to be pushed into the net together with the puck, the goal can be permitted." Note the use of "can" as opposed to "shall" in deferring to the Refs judgment on the play.
The sling-shot grab that launched Kyle Palmieri past Brian Lashoff just inside the Red Wing blue line provided an unfair advantage on the rush. As Lashoff tried to regain position he ultimately pushed Palmeiri to the ice. One could argue that both plays, if detected, might be worthy of an interference call. One was no worse than the other and both were either let go or somehow undetected.
What I believe is the most important and overriding factor on this play is that the Referee quickly determined that Jimmy Howard had made the initial save and therefore ruled the play dead prior to being crashed into by Kyle Palmieri.
This split second decision was made by the Referee who took into account all aspects of the play and appropriately waved off a dirty goal without hesitation. The crew of Referees then conferred with one another following this call as they have been advised to do throughout these playoffs.
Both plays, once again highlight the need for a rule change allowing the Referees to implement video review when goalkeeper interference is suspected. As I have said it is the most difficult call for the Refs to make.
