Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet.

After 10 Years Away, Natalie LaRue Is Back
Half of the former brother-sister duo, popular a decade ago, preparing a 6-song EP
The brother-sister band LaRue hit it fairly big around the turn of the millennium, as siblings Phillip and Natalie put together three albums of ear-pleasing pop songs, including a few radio hits.
They amicably disbanded after 2002's Reaching, and Phillip went on to a solo career as well as doing some music production. Natalie, meanwhile, slipped out of the limelight, got married, and started raising a family. Now, 10 years and three kids later, she's making music again, and hopes to release a 6-song EP in the near future. She's trying to raise money for the project at Kickstarter.com -- where many indie artists try to fund their albums.
On the site, Natalie writes: "Ten years ago if you would have asked me where I would be now, I don't think I could have even imagined . . . So here I am now. Attempting, after a long hiatus, to step back into the world that was once familiar territory. Now I've got some new shoes, some old scars, and a lot of perspective. I have songs that have been birthed out of the most pivotal period of my life. The transition from girl to woman, woman to wife, wife to mother. I have lots to say, and somehow, some way, out of the fog of family life -- and with a little nudging from my husband -- I feel ready to say it. I am ready to start a dialogue with words and music in hope that I reach the hearts of people very much like myself: Women. Mothers. Spouses. Cooks. Cleaners. Friends. Sisters. Jesus-lovers. And oh, so much more."

Paris, December 1795
I wake filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in turmoil. Sweet, incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart! Are you angry? Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried?… My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for you lover; but is there still more in store for me when, yielding to the profound feelings which overwhelm me, I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last night that I fully realized how false an image of you your portrait gives!
You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours.
Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire.
It's a big, bad world full of twists and turns, and people have a way of blinking and missing the moment…
(via 52hearts)
You will love me because you will be the only person aware that all the mistakes I have made have led me to be the person whose sitting next to you right now cringing as you read this.You will love me because you will be the only person aware that all the mistakes I have made led me to you. And you will continue to love me because you will be the only one who truly understands this importance. That despite the mistakes I will continue to make–about everything under this blinding sun–I will still be standing and hoping and fighting that next time–the bloody next time–I will get it right. And you will continue to love me–and I you– because you will just know that if anything defines me?
It is that.
So take your time. I am in absolutely no rush. I have plenty of mistakes left to make."—via Hope dies last (via justlia)
52hearts:Or rather, maybe what we should have been.
Neoteny - means retention of immature qualities in a mature individual!
Neoteny is a characteristics everyone should try to cultivate in themselves and play is one activity through which one can do that!!

My DS (5 in 2 weeks) started on violin last spring and was doing great, having fun, and really into it until mid summer. He had his first little concert at an Arts Festival with the rest of his class and seemed to enjoy it very much, said "I want to do this a hundred more times" afterward. Since then, he has refused to play, saying it "breaks his brain." I can't come up with any games or incentives to get him to play. When he does play he'll only play "fiddle tunes" - his own wild improvisations or his easiest songs. He won't play twinkle, even though he was playing it well before. I'm not sure what to do. Its time to sign up for fall lessons and he says he still wants to, but I'm starting to wonder. We tried summer lessons, but his teacher hasn't been available.
BTW playing violin was his idea, he begged for a month before we gave in, but when we started I committed myself to giving it at least a year.
Its not just violin, he was reading well in the spring and now says that reading "breaks his brain" too.
We were having so much fun before, I'd appreciate any advice to get us back on track.
You'll probably find that regular lessons will help get things gradually more on track too, with those clear regular gentle expectations and the rhythm of weekly lessons and assignments. Does he have group classes? That will help a ton as well.
I think you'll find over the long term that waxing and waning, bumps and leaps, are just part of the landscape in music learning. You've met your first one. This too shall pass. I think it's valuable for a child to have a parent stick by them with faith that they can and will eventually progress, that they are worth supporting, that excellence is inevitable when we persist, even when it comes gradually and indirectly, and that sometimes there are pauses and detours but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong.
When my eldest (now 14 and a violin powerhouse, working on the Mendelssohn violin concerto) was your ds's age she went through a similar phase. This was in the winter of 1998-99 and I blogged my way through it. You can read a post from the middle of that phase here. Eventually it passed and she took off again, which you'll discover if you want to read later posts of the "violin blog" type (most of them from 1999 are violin blog posts). Patience was all that was required of me.
Dr. Suzuki talked about two different types of patience. The first is "controlled frustration." The second is "the absence of specific expectations." I think that Suzuki parents need to aspire to the second. Wishing you the good kind of patience.
Mountain mama to three great kids and one great grown-up
I agree that its a developmental phase. He's responding the same way to other activities that he enjoyed before, reading, drawing, swimming. Everything "breaks his brain". And I have no idea where he came up with that expression!
We haven't had regular lessons through the summer and haven't had group at all. I'm convinced he learns more in group than in his private lesson. Our current teacher just took a job at a local university and is only going to offer group monthly. I had been considering another teacher, who ONLY does Suzuki, and monthly versus weekly group may tip the scales in her direction.
I'm hoping that he gets back into when we start lessons again. He has played his crazy fiddle tunes for the for the last couple days as long as I only applaud and don't make any suggestions It's really pretty adorable when I'm not trying to get him to do something else. I'll look at it as another form of learning from now on. Thanks!
Anyway, ds is only 2, but he has not ever responded to kids music in the way he seems interested in bluegrass. He always runs to dh's room when dh starts playing or singing this style.
Anyway, my question for some of you experienced muso's - I am thinking about learning violin myself (at the ripe old age of 31). I have been a bit put off by some people's responses, but then, others have been encouraging. I love the sound of the instrument myself, and love celtic music, so I'd love to try. I guess the other thing is that I would like ds to see me playing music as well as dh, and eventually for ds to learn an instrument to play with us. Can anyone give me some encouraging words of wisdom?
Right, I'm off to see if I can find out more about suzuki method.
We're picking up again. What was the book suggested (here?) with tips for making practicing fun? I skimmed this thread but couldn't find it. Thanks!
still cello-ing here...
Soon, we'll have our Halloween Play in for all the groups to play together with costume on.
What is happening with your school that is new and exciting??
I grew up in a Suzuki family. I played violin for one year, then switched to viola. I've been a violist ever since! I play professionally and teach Suzuki method violin and viola.
My kids are 7 and 4, and we're getting ready to start lessons as soon as their violins get here. We've dabbled with their lessons before. Ds started when he was 5, right when we were starting to homeschool. I couldn't fight both battles! Now that homeschooling is going well, we'll get back to violin.
Dd is eager to start. She already has a pretty bow hold and a strong interest. She would much rather play my violin. Hopefully the 1/16 that is coming will sound a lot better than her 1/32!
Mountain mama to three great kids and one great grown-up
My ds (11) is also a violist. I'm learning the Suzuki viola repertoire alongside him since I didn't learn it at the first pass. He's just grown into a 13" instrument that should be arriving next week. He plays a Sabatier, lucky kid.
I have never found a 1/32nd that's really worth playing. Three of my kids started on that size (we grow small kids in my family) and they kind of hit walls of frustration with the sound quality, especially when it came time to start using the D-string. The sixteenth seemed so joyfully playable when they finally grew into it. My 5yo recently moved up to a 1/10th. It was still a little too big, but she's well set up and was feeling the limits of her 1/16th, and it was a similar order-of-magnitude improvement in playability. Life's good now.
We're arranging and re-arranging fall schedules here too. Our group classes and orchestra rehearsals will shift to Wednesday evenings this year. They're a challenge at the best of times -- we have 15 students, ages 4-15, violin and viola, levels from Twinkle to post-Book-10 all in the same group class . My younger kids' violin lessons will be on the same day but in the morning. My elder two no longer study locally because they've outgrown their teachers. We drive them to lessons elsewhere once a month. Not ideal, but it's the best we can do.
Mountain mama to three great kids and one great grown-up
I also like Ed Sprunger's book. Your description is great, Miranda. I'm sure I'll be referring back to this book often as I attempt to teach my own kids.
I would also recommend two volumes published by SAA. They are compilations of articles published in the SAA journals. Drat . . . I'll have to post later with the titles. I can't come up with them at the moment.
When we first borrowed her violin, my dd was only 2 1/2. She was just dangerous! We had her violin out in the rehearsal hall on afternoon, and she just TOOK OFF! I was right there with her, but she was too fast. Running full tilt with a borrowed violin - EEK! So I bought her an ebay special. It truly is a VSO!! (Sharspeak for Violin Shaped Object)
It's pretty, but it's impossible to tune and sounds like the piece of trash that it really is. Dd would try to play it, then hand it back saying "It's not working!"
I'm looking forward to getting my kids started, and also a little nervous. I'm on a tight schedule with our homeschool. We have to get it all done before I leave to teach other peoples' kids!
My son is 3 1/4, and loves music. We have a keyboard (not a piano) that my in-laws got for him (cheaper, you know), and he likes to play it. I would like to start him on the violin, but I haven't really exposed him to seeing violins played, just listening to Vol. 1 and talking about violins when we listen to classical music.
My thought for starting him on violin is that learning to tune is important, and that he can switch to piano when he is older. We have a pretty good Suzuki community here in Gainesville, FL. Should I wait until he's older (like 4?) or start him in January when he's 3.5? I was thinking January because my 2nd baby is due then, and I thought Suzuki could be something that we do together as a special mommy-son thing.
A typical 1/32-size beginner will have grown into a 1/16th by the time s/he's working in the latter half of Book 1. That didn't happen in our family with two of the kids so we struggled, my eldest especially. With my youngest, we moved her up 'early', while the sixteenth was still a bit too big, and she did much better.

We were having so much fun before, I'd appreciate any advice to get us back on track.
Good luck!
DD's getting ready for her book 1 graduation and we're having some issues with repeated sections. I'll give an example: Minuet 3 starts with a section that seems to repeat but actually has two different endings. Then that entire section is repeated. DD gets pretty frustrated with me when she goes on to the next section and I remind her about the repeat. "But I already repeated it!" I've shown her the music several times, singing through it for her and showing her the notation. In an attempt to make it more concrete for her I told her that each "hello" section (the grace note) needs a "goodbye" section to follow it and then you repeat the hello and goodbye and *that's* the repeat.
So I used jelly beans (at this point we were desperately needing a pick me up) and when she'd start the hello section I'd put out a yellow bean, and a red bean after she followed it up with the goodbye section, and then we'd repeat it and then she'd go on of course. And she got it - yay! But after a few times doing this very well I figured we needed to try it without my visual cues. So I asked her to keep track herself and she got lost again. And super duper frustrated, I might add. Tears and unconsolable. I'm getting the feeling she's quite frustrated and disappointed with herself.
I so want to help her get this and feel good about playing again. It's like she lacks a certain mindfulness about her playing and I don't see how we're going to get through the book 1 recital without it.
Any ideas? I'm really looking forward to her emerging on the other side of this and feeling good about her playing again.
You get the requisite number of pieces of craft/construction paper. For the first half of Minuet 3 you'd want four. You might choose pink for the "hellos" and yellow for the "goodbyes." Get your child's input on colour choices -- if they're meaningful they'll work better and your child will be more invested in them. Write (or draw symbols) for "hello" and "goodbye" in them. Then use many or all of the following steps, progressing to the next once she deems the current one "too easy." Most kids love it when you say "oh yeah? you think that's too easy? Let's see if you can do this, then!" as if you'll be amazed if they can ... but you notch the difficulty up by such a teeny amount that they're sure they can do it.
- Ask your dd to help you lay them out on the floor as a "path" in the order they come in the piece.
- Ask her to make the path all by herself.
- Put them down mixed up and ask her to fix them.
- Get her to try putting them in order when they're face down, without the words/symbols showing.
- Listen to the first half of the piece on CD whilst stepping with her from one "stone" to the next.
- Challenge her to step at the right time from one to the next while listening to the piece.
- Sing the piece and step with her.
- Have her sing the piece while stepping.
- Put the stones behind your back and pull out pink or yellow randomly. Ask her to sing it.
- Repeat the above but ask her to play the section you pull out on her violin.
- Repeat the previous step, but with two or four sections in sequence, with a short "stop and think" break between each one.
- Repeat the previous step, but with the stepping stones on the floor as a path. She should play with a stop, step, think pause between each one.
- Repeat the previous step, but with the stepping stones face down (no words or icons, just colours.
- Repeat with a shorter Stop/Step/Think pause.
- Repeat the previous step, but hide one of the stepping stones beneath a newspaper or magazine so that she no longer has the colour clue.
- Repeat the previous step, but hide two stepping stones.
- Repeat, hiding three.
- Repeat, hiding all four.
- Pick up all the stepping stones and newspapers and make a big show of putting down 'invisible stepping stones.' "Here's a pink one! Now for a yellow...." Challenge her to play and walk along the invisible path.
- Next challenge her to play while standing still and imagining walking along the invisible stepping stones.
Each day when you practice, back up one or two stages in this progression from where you left off the previous day, and start moving forward again.
This approach almost always works beautifully and very quickly. I honestly can't remember it ever NOT working with a student. And the metaphor of a mental journey along a path is something the kids seem to internalize and transfer to other repertoire with increasing ease.
Hope that helps!

She did some work on Musette this evening and wow that's one heck of a bow piece. She wants desperately to slur the eighth notes and separate the quarters - and we're just working the first line. Does a dramatically slower tempo help? I tend to be a big picture thinker and sometimes slowing down gets me lost, but maybe it's good for others? Anyhow in case anyone has some Musette tips or advice that might save us some grief :
Oh, and just a bit of lamenting here:
When does the resilience kick in? DD gets so easily frustrated and then stuck in it. I try hard to help her along. I suggest breaks and that we'll return to it later but that suggestion frustrates her. I try very hard to keep it light and goofy without demeaning her. But she just goes there so much and entirely on her own. I don't know if somehow I might be contributing to it. But of all the gifts that Suzuki gave me, the one I was aware of very early on was how I had learned that practice works. Mistakes are part of practice and we make mistakes. We work to correct them and with time the mistakes get less frequent until they disappear and we're just in the heart song groove and that's where the honey is. This willingness to make mistakes and try again is one of the wisdoms I'm hoping DD develops on this musical journey - but I'm having trouble with being patient while she gets there. We can't get better if we are crying about how frustrated we are! Anyone else experience this?
The other main contributing factor is that we don't have a piano. This is an affordability question - we simply can't afford one right now. I grew up playing the organ and we have one in our house but I don't think it would be suitable to practice on.
My concern and question is - is it better to start at age 3 or will it be alright to wait to start when she is 4? Many of the children enrolled here are just 3.
My concern and question is - is it better to start at age 3 or will it be alright to wait to start when she is 4? Many of the children enrolled here are just 3.
If you have any doubt, I'd wait. Get all your ducks in a row, make sure your dd is ready. I honestly don't see any advantage in starting at 3 vs. 4. Personally I don't start 3-year-olds unless they're the younger sibling of an older Suzuki child and are begging for their own lessons and it is beginning to feel cruel to put them off. In that case we can start with 'piggy-back' lessons, giving the 3-year-old 5 or 10 minutes at the beginning of the older sibling's lesson, with no specific expectations of focus or progress, just going with whatever they seem ready for.
Start listening to a CD, start sussing out instrument possibilities, go and observe group classes or recitals from time to time. You won't lose anything waiting another year for actual lessons, IMO.
Mountain mama to three great kids and one great grown-up
Thanks for all your advice.
Right now I'm struggling with whether to stick with our current teacher and have lessons at 4PM and group monthly at 5:30 (They're not at their best in late afternoon and I'll be driving home in traffic) or change teachers to get better lesson times and weekly group lessons. DS is reluctant to switch, he likes his teacher and friends, but he thrives on the group lessons and monthly might not be enough for him. I also feel guilty switching, but I guess its business.
Maybe I should figure out who is better prepared to deal with his "fiddle-side".
I think he might really be tired of Twinkle and frustrated because he could play it before and can't now that he hasn't played consistently over the summer.
We're going to be out for 10 days. DD's book 1 grad recital is 10 days after we get back. I really don't want to be out of the loop for that long, especially that close to the recital. So I'm thinking of bringing her violin with us. Honestly I'm a bit nervous about traveling with it. It's a fairly expensive (for us) rental that we really love and the thought of carrying it everywhere we go - well maybe we should pick up some backpack straps. Anyhow, I'm thinking of risking it anyway and bringing my very inexpensive fiddle along, as when DD practices I usually play some along with her - it seems to help a lot to not be the only one playing.
DD will be playing piano, too, at the recital, and that's definitely needing more work at this point. So I'd like to try hooking up with a piano to play on.
We'll be in San Francisco - tagging along while DP is at a conference. I'm thinking of trying to find music stores she can go and play in - some with practice or teaching rooms that they might rent to me. I could maybe get her to do some busking if I'm lucky and only if I play the duet parts with her (she doesn't have a very strong nerve just yet). I'd even love to get her a master class with someone but that seems like a far out possibility.
Well - in case you want to share how you handle not dropping the ball when you're on the road I'd be interested in hearing about that.

Perhaps you can give afternoons a chance and just see how they go? Maybe give yourself a ton of support by having special brain and energy snacks before lesson, and maybe a little quiet time in the afternoon before hand. You might end up cultivating a different rhythm and could be surprised with how well afternoon lessons can go.
About groups, I'd love to go more than once a month, too. But with less frequent ones they'll probably never lose their charm. So there's that. If you're really drawn by the frequent group lessons could you go observe those, too? There could be something about the weekly group that doesn't sit right with you, or they could be really awesome and that could help you decide.
I guess my advice boils down to this: before making changes I'd want to observe a lot before deciding anything.

What do you consider a good "brain snack"? We'll be needing those!
Of course he still won't play twinkle, but his crazy fiddle tunes are becoming not so crazy and are starting to sound pretty real and kind of nice, so he's learning, just not the way anyone else intends for him to.

Busking, absolutly! Busking is the best way to travel period. Play with her, but let her keep all the change she makes to spend on something she wants!
How does one go about picking a good location? I see your location is CO so you might be familiar with Pearl St in Boulder. I could see doing that place pretty easily. Might not get much (lots of competition!) but the street just cries out for busking so you don't end up feeling quite so much like a sore thumb. Does google map have a "busking site" option?
When we travel we try to ramp up the listening, knowing that on-instrument time will be limited or non-existent. If we do bring the instruments, I'm happy if they get played every other day for 10 minutes. We have practice mutes for hotel playing. I'm thinking of buying a Yamaha silent violin for my eldest, because she spends the day and a half surrounding her lessons in a hotel and it would be nice for her to be able to practice / warm up / try out her lesson assignments before we hop in the van and spend a (no-practicing) day in travel to get home.

But, there is still a question as to the legality of the petitions. Opponents of the measure say some of the petitions fail to meet election code standards.
Assistant City Clerk Wendy Klock-Johnson says the Sacramento City Clerk will decide.
"What will happen next is the County will complete this whole count as requested by the City Clerk and they will transmit a finding of fact of the verification process. And once the clerk has that, she will examine what the information the county has provided and will also examine to make sure the petition is in compliance with the requirements of the election code," Klock-Johnson said.
James Cathcart with STOP admits there are some problems with the petitions but says the problems don't warrant keeping the measure off of the ballot.
A statement from Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said:
"As the City Clerk has made clear, this is merely a procedural step in part of a longer process. Based on everything we have learned: from the way the initiative was purposefully written to delay the entire project as opposed to a straight up or down vote; to the failure to disclose the chief financial contributor behind the effort; to the fact that the vast majority of the money for this initiative comes from sources opposed to Sacramento; to the issues raised about the nature of the petitions; I have serious concerns about the integrity of the process. Plain and simple - this initiative is a Trojan Horse. For Sacramento, there is a great deal at stake: 4000 jobs, transforming downtown, and keeping the Kings in Sacramento. And given what is at stake, coupled with the troubling questions related to integrity of these ballot petitions, the nature in which they were collected, and the true intent of those who are behind the effort, I believe we should take a hard look at the petitions and consider all of the available options to protect the public."
The Sacramento Kings also issued a statement saying:
"As we have stated in the past, we love Sacramento and are committed to doing all we can to support the City's efforts to develop an entertainment and sports complex that will help revitalize our downtown. The Kings appreciate the support we have received from the community and know that the organization is fortunate to have the best and most loyal fans in all of the NBA. We share the many concerns expressed by the Mayor, The 4000 and others in Sacramento regarding the anti-arena campaign and are prepared to work to support their leadership."
The county still has 715 signatures left to verify. It has until January 28th to complete its task.

hmm, I wonder who Sarah voted for
I couldn't agree more with the Schonz. I wished he had played longer with the team. He was my personal favorite Blazer ever! That said, I got to go with Porter's track record and move him on to the next round :(
TP, obviously!! I just want to hug him every time I see him! (It takes a lot of self restraint to maintain composure.)
BF77-What was it that derailed Billy Ray's career? Was it off-the-court stuff? Because I knew he could play (although I wasn't able to ever see him play live) and he had a few amazing playoff series with us. Also, he seemed like a high-flyer, was that why he was so beloved in Rip City?

2 Thick cut pork chops
1/3 c. Oyster sauce
1/2 c. Peanuts
1/4 c. Chopped cilantro
1 T. Cornstarch
2-3 T. Flour
Salt and pepper
Canola oil
Serving Size: 4
Thinly slice pork chops and transfer to large mixing bowl. Add salt and flour and coat individual slices of pork evenly.
Take cornstarch and add to a small bowl and add 1/2 c. of tap water and mix until cornstarch is dissolved and set aside.
Mince garlic and set aside.
Chop peanuts in a food processor or blender into smaller pieces and set aside.
In a large non-stick pan, coat the bottom with canola oil and heat to medium heat. Drop slices of pork into hot pan and cook on each side, about 2 minutes. Be sure not to crowd the pan and allow the pork to single layer onto the fry pan. Pork will have to be cooked into batches. Remove cooked pork to a plate and repeat with the next batch until pork is all cooked.
Transfer cooked pork to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In the hot pan, lower heat to medium-low and add garlic and sauté for about a minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic or the dish will be bitter. Add oyster sauce and fish sauce and whisk together until well combined. Add about a half a cup of tap water and whisk until well combined, then mix up cornstarch mixture up and add to pan. Whisk into sauce and it will thicken the sauce in a few minutes. Add peanuts.
Taste sauce and add salt and pepper as necessary. You shouldn't need much salt since oyster and fish sauce are high in sodium and the peanuts as well, if you don't use unsalted roasted peanuts.
Transfer sauce into mixing bowl with pork and mix until well combined.
Spoon over a bed of jasmine rice and add chopped cilantro on top and enjoy.
Cook Time: 1 hour

The next elections to the Parliament of the Republic of Latvia (the Saeima) will be held on 4 October 2014. These will be the 12th Saeima elections. The Saeima elections are held in five constituencies, and 100 members of the parliament are to be elected.
All citizens of Latvia who enjoy full rights of citizenship and who on election day have attained 18 years of age are entitled to vote.
The Electoral Register is not used for registration of voters in the Saeima elections. Voters are registered in a polling station by making a mark in their passports.
However, taking into account that the electronic identity card (eID) currently is the only personal identity document of approximately 28 000 Latvian citizens, on 14 July 2014, the Saeima supported amendments to the Saeima Election Law which stipulate that the personalized voter card has to be issued to these voters before the 12th Saeima elections.
Thus, voters who have only electronic identity cards (eID) are invited to apply for a Latvian citizen's passport on a timely basis or receive the voter card between 22 September and 3 October. It will be possible to receive the voter card for free in that territorial section of the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs where the electronic identity card of the voter was issued.
On election day, polling stations will be open between 7 am and 8 pm. Voters can vote at any nearby polling station in Latvia or abroad.
Voters who will not have a chance to cast their votes on the election day, will have a possibility to submit ballots for safe-keeping three days prior elections – on 1, 2 and 3 October. A list of polling stations which will accept ballots for safe-keeping will be available after 5 August.
Polling stations where ballots may be submitted for safe-keeping will be set up in cities and municipalities with at least 7500 eligible voters. In total, there will be 61 such polling station. The working hours of these polling stations will be as follows: on Wednesday, 1 October – from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.; on Thursday, 2 October – from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.; on Friday, 3 October - from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Overseas voters can participate in the Saeima elections by voting on election day at one of the polling stations established abroad or by mail. Voters must apply to vote by mail in advance – between 3 May and12 September. Read more >>
Voters unable to come to the polling station for health reasons, caregivers of these voters and caregivers of ill persons may apply for off-site voting. Requests for off-site voting may be submitted between 29 September and 4 October.
In the Saeima elections, voting will be organized also for soldiers serving in international operations and for voters in penitentiaries.
Monday, 29 September: 5 pm – 8 pm
Tuesday, 30 September: 8 am – 11 am
Wednesday, 1 October: 5 pm – 8 pm
Thursday, 2 October: 9.am – 12 pm
Friday, 3 October: 10 am – 4 pm
Voting does not take place during this time, except polling stations where ballots may be submitted for safe-keeping on 1, 2 and 3 October.
For the 12th Saeima elections, submission of lists of candidates took place between 16 July 2014 and 5 August 2014. Lists of candidates had to be submitted to the Central Election Commission.
Legally registered parties and alliances of parties were entitled to submit a list of candidates to the Saeima elections. Lists of candidates had to be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Saeima Election Law.
Submitters of lists of candidates had to make a security deposit of EUR 1400 in the bank account of the Central Election Commission.
A list of candidates and the attached documents had to be prepared electronically in the system for submission of lists of candidates of the Central Election Commission. A list of candidates and the attached documents had to be submitted also in paper.

This station is currently not available.
The best station that plays a variety of music with a message. Our inspirational music includes songs from Christian, Folk, Country, Gospel, Rock, Reggae, and Instrumental.
We are a husband and wife team, Barry and Denise, who want to share the power of music. We call ourselves the HolyMoleys because our last name is Moley (how ironic, huh?). We love music in general, all kinds, and through the years have acquired an extensive music library. We are very well-rounded in music, so our library includes gospel, bluegrass, hard rock, classical, reggae, pop, folk, contemporary Christian, and everything in between. We've always wanted to have a radio station that plays inspirational music, because music feeds the soul. And because of our love of music, our radio station is not the normal radio station. Instead of focusing on one genre, we focus on ALL genres of music. Anything with a message.

Mozilla welcomes competition from Google's Chrome
Summary: Google's entry into the open-source-browser arena will spur innovation, says Mozilla chief executive John Lilly
Mozilla chief executive John Lilly on Tuesday waxed philosophical about the release of Google's new web browser, Chrome, despite the launch signalling an attempt by the search giant — Mozilla's major financier — to become its biggest competitor.
The arrival of Chrome, Lilly said, was inevitable.
"It should come as no real surprise that Google has done something here: their business is the web, and they've got clear opinions on how things should be," Lilly wrote in his blog. "Chrome will be a browser optimised for the things that they see as important."
The beta version of Chrome, to be available on Tuesday for Windows systems, is an obvious alternative to Firefox for those web surfers fed up with Microsoft's long-dominant Internet Explorer browser.
Mozilla and Google have had a long and very fruitful relationship. Google is the default search engine on the Mozilla Firefox browser, and pays Mozilla large sums for the privilege: $56m (£31m) of the $66m (£37m) Mozilla Corporation made in 2006.
However, Lilly, writing in his blog, said he welcomed the competition posed by Google. Lilly said Mozilla would continue its financial relationship with Google until 2011 and would continue to work with the search giant on technical collaborations such as crash reports system Breakpad.
Paul Kim, vice president of marketing for Mozilla, said that Google staff would be allowed to continue to contribute to the Mozilla Foundation's projects. "As a 100 percent open-source project, we welcome contributions to Firefox from everyone," he said.
"More smart people thinking about ways to make the web good for normal human beings is good — absolutely," Lilly said.

Intel Designs Mobile Platform For Healthcare
Posted on 28-Sep-2006 13:10.
Filed under:
Tablet PC
Intel is working with Motion Computing to introduce first-generation products based on the Intel mobile clinical assistant platform in the first half of next year. Motion is focused on designing tablet PCs for specific vertical industries including healthcare, field sales and service and government; healthcare makes up almost half of its business and is the companys primary focus.
The mobile clinical assistant platform is the outcome of hospital workflow studies, nurse and physician interviews, and ethnographic research among nurses at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, Calif. It focuses on the healthcare communitys needs to enhance patient safety, reduce medication-dispensing errors and ease staff workloads.
Products based on the mobile clinical assistant platform could offer a variety of features and technologies including: an exterior casing that can be wiped clean with disinfectant; radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for rapid user and patient identification; and barcode scanning to help reduce medication-dispensing errors.
The platform could also include a digital camera to enhance patient charting and progress notes; Bluetooth technology to record patient vital signs; wireless connectivity to access electronic medical records systems.
In addition to having a lightweight design, ergonomic features such as an integrated handle, and a spill- and drop-tolerant enclosure, the mobile platform could provide shift-long use made possible by swapping batteries while in a docking station.
An open industry group was formed to deliver interoperability in personal health and wellness devices, ranging from simple devices such as weight scales and treadmills to blood pressure cuffs and glucose meters.
Since its introduction in June 2006, the Continua Health Alliance has grown from 22 founding companies to 55. The alliance will publish technical guidelines for healthcare device interoperability by the end of next year. Consumer products bearing the Continua logo are scheduled to be available in early 2008.

Frances. That's a Real Grown Up Name.
She Said: I re-watched Dirty Dancing awhile ago and thought what a fetid piece of sh*t the Twilight movies are in comparison to it. Frances Houseman - named after the first woman in the Cabinet! - is everything that that vapid wimp is not: sweet, funny, brave, and the hero of her own story.
Since we did a breakdown of last week's Bachelorette, I thought it would be good to counteract all that bullsh with something awesome.
Here's the final dance scene of the movie. Guys, if you learn anything from this, it's the vital importance of eye contact. Sometimes I'll share a meal with HeSaid and he'll stare at the wall or his knee for large chunks of the evening. Unless you have two lazy eyes and a timid heart, look your woman in the eye! Trust me, it pays off.
Let's watch…
Dirty Dancing - Time Of My Life (Final Dance) (1987)
0:34 Johnny does the ticklish move… she doesn't giggle!
1:04 CLOSE ON: Baby's family - Jerry Orbach looks confused but pissed off, Lorelai's mom is getting into it, while dummy sister is happily grooving in her coconut bra.
1:18 Crazy head move from Baby which the crowd seems to love.
1:20 Jerry Orbach still confused, still pissed; Lorelai's mom watches her daughter and utters this gem: "I think she gets this from me!"
1:30-1:45 Johnny never takes his eyes off Baby. Also, Patrick Swayze, in tight pants and a shirt open to his navel, looks 100% hetero - this alone is a towering achievement.
1:44 He's now mentally removed all her clothes in a way that is tender and crazy-hot, but not at all skeevy - another towering achievement.
1:49 Favorite moment in the movie: Baby laughs. I usually rewind it at least five times on each viewing. It's good because then I miss the weird, ho-down leg move she does next.
1:56 More smoldering eye-contact, more on-stage pseudo-sex, CUT TO: Jerry Orbach, looking ever more flummoxed while his wife fantasizes about taking a few dance lessons of her own.
2:03 The world's first and only Charming WOO-GIRL!
2:17 Okay, there is so much amazingness here, it's hard to keep track. After Baby smiles and nods, Johnny leaps into the air in slo-mo, like an artistically gifted Neo. People scream. Jerry Orbach starts to stand for reasons that are unclear. Maybe he'd run up and punch Johnny in the crotch, mid-leap? Lorelai's mom pats his arm, never taking her eyes off Patrick Swayze's chest.
2:22 "Hey, BABY!" Johnny turns back, hair flipping, to face his beloved on stage. The woo-girl can no longer contain herself and is screaming, leaping and thrusting her arms in the air.
2:27 Okay, here it gets kind of embarrassing - or maybe just super 80's - same thing. CLOSE UP of sweaty Johnny, prancing down the aisle and giving everybody his best, "Oh, you like what you see, don't you?" face. CUT TO: Jerry Orbach, sulking and scowling, while his wife gawks at her daughter's boyfriend like he's a steak sandwich and she hasn't eaten in weeks.
2:40 More swag, more pelvic thrusts, then back to Baby on stage. We get another adorably gorgeous laugh from Jennifer Grey because this is all about her. There may be a hot guy strutting, sweating and doing random stripper moves on his knees (ah, remember that glorious sketch with Chris Farley?) but all that is secondary to the girl in the pink dress.
3:15 Johnny looks up at her, nods.
3:16 Baby looks back at him, nods. She's going to do the lift. The one she's never done before.
3:17 She's helped off stage, then runs toward him…
3:22 … and she's in the air!!! She did it! Any straight girl who's not crying at this point must be made of granite.
3:26 Jerry Orbach gets up again! He kills me. WHAT is he going to do? Snatch his daughter away from all this happiness? Jer, enjoy yourself! Soon you'll be solving gritty crimes in New York City and you'll long for the lazy days of Kellerman's Mountain Resort.
3:30 - 3:39 More of Baby's ecstatic laughter, fatherly fuming, and woo-girl wooing.
3:41 People get up to join Johnny and Baby in the aisle. He never takes his eyes off her.
3:47 Seriously. This movie should be called Dirty Eye Contact.
4:03 Jerry is getting the truth from Johnny's ex! Now he knows that his daughter's boyfriend isn't, in fact, a no-good bum who knocked up a girl, then left her to a butcher to abort the baby. He's just a super hot dance instructor who brings out the best in people!
4:06 Requisite funny old ladies getting into the music, this time with subtle, lesbian undertones.
4:12 Lorelai's mom, looking hotter by the minute, is now dancing with… a waiter? I forget if this guy's anybody. Anyway, she looks spectacular.
4:16 The rich skank Johnny was banging stands up and walks out in a huff. She knows true love when she sees it, and wants no part of it!
4:18 The hotel manager basically asks if they can bottle this stuff 'cause it is gold. Sexy, horny gold!
4:25 Johnny takes a still smiling Baby off the dance floor where he'll have a brief, but meaningful heart-to-heart with Jerry Orbach and all will be forgiven.
The line everybody quotes and/or mocks from this movie is, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
But I think the point of the movie is this line from Baby: "Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you."
It's a dance movie and a love story, but most of all, it's about a girl who finally feels like herself.
Watch it with your wife, your girlfriend, or better yet, your daughter if she's never seen a movie where the girl is the hero instead of the pawn.
Then put on something hot, find a large space and dance your heart out.
He Said: I would have added something to this post but I have never seen Dirty Dancing. Get off my back! My wife has never seen The Bridge on the River Kwai and that has damn fine eye contact, not to mention a great tune!

Ariana Grande, pretty-in-pink princess and part-time florist, kept her word and shared a new track with fans after hitting 10 million Twitter followers last night (October 1). And it wasn't just any song. "Pink Champagne" is the holy grail of lost teen-pop anthems.
The 19-year-old first tweeted about working with Ke$ha in late 2011. The fruit of their labor looked set for release when the pair shared pictures from the studio in February 2012 but then it sunk without a trace and missed the Yours Truly tracklist entirely. Big mistake. "Pink Champagne" rivals "Piano" as Ari's cutest pop moment.
"We're gonna hail a cab and don't look back when we get in it," the ponytail pioneer sings before tackling the sparkling chorus: "make it pop like champagne in the purple rain, we're gonna paint the city!" It's a sugary bubblegum-pop explosion that would have brightened up Yours Truly no end.
If you need a reminder of Ke$ha's ridiculous songwriting talent (and the direction Ariana should be going in) take a listen after the jump.
Should "Pink Champagne" be on Yours Truly? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

is sick for his first time. :< And he got it from me which makes me feel like shit. I know it was inevitable, but still. He is all congested and has that sick pale look about him. He is having a hard time breathing when he lays on his back so I have to sit him up in his carseat to let everything drain and I'm using baby vicks and saline spray to help too, but it still scares the shit out of me. Needless to say, I will not be getting any sleep tonight for fear of him not being able to breathe. Even though I know he feels like shit, because I for sure do, he is still the happiest, smiliest baby ever, and we are seriously the luckiest parents on this planet.
I'm definitely getting the flu shot after this.
Yes, I am breastfeeding. It's seriously the best thing you can do for your baby. And I know! He totally gets his sleeping habits from his daddy. lol.
The first one being, laughing out loud. He's done it in his sleep before, but he actually started laughing out loud when he was awake three days ago. We missed the first one because we were both at work, :/ but as soon as he saw his mommy and daddy together he did it again. Made my heart melt.
The second one being, baby talk. He was making a lot of noises before like grunting and cooing, but now he makes audible baby talk. It's the cutest damn thing ever, and best alarm clock known to man.
The third being the worst. He had his first set of vaccinations today, and his very first cry of pain. It was terrible. I really wanted to hit the nurse for hurting my baby like that, it was crazy how I saw red so quickly. But I didn't, of course. I did cry though. Like a baby back bitch I cried. It was pitiful.

One Mom's Fight for a Cure
Guest Blogger Sandy Lane: When my husband and I got married, I thought having children would be part of our "normal life" in the future. Little did I know, Steve and I each carried a genetic flaw dramatically increasing the odds of us having a child born with a rare, devastating, incurable disease.
Chelsea was born a normal, healthy baby. However, when she was 4 1/2, she started tripping and falling. At first, we didn't think this was anything out of the ordinary; after all, kids can be clumsy. After several months of watching her get scrapes and bruises, though, we decided to look into it further. Our doctor recognized that Chelsea had some form of ataxia, but wasn't sure which type. (Ataxia is a dysfunction of the nervous system affecting coordination.) After several tests, we found ourselves meeting with the cardiologist at the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). He shared with us the news that Chelsea had an enlarged heart -- "cardiomyopathy" -- and that because she had this paired with the ataxia, she probably had a disease called "Friedreich's ataxia" (FA). The tests confirmed that she did indeed have FA. FA is a life-shortening, debilitating disease. We were told that most kids don't make it past their 20s, and that Chelsea would soon be wheelchair-bound.
Over the course of time, because Chelsea's immune system was so weak, she was prone to every infection that came her way. After every cold or flu, she would end up dehydrated and we would find ourselves at CHOC. There were many times where, because of her heart condition, she would have to spend weeks in the ICU. I never imagined myself feeling so isolated and alone.
The predictions about Friedreich's ataxia have come true for us. Chelsea is now in a wheelchair. She's had several surgeries to correct her severely deformed spine and feet. She is also now blind, battling pre-diabetes and has problems with speech, swallowing and weakness. My husband and I help her with bathing, eating and all the other activities of daily living.
The scary part of all of this is that it can happen to any one of us -- one in 100 people are carriers of FA. Carriers do not have symptoms of the disease, so there was no way for Steve and me to know that our little girl was at risk. One in 50,000 Americans have FA. It is very isolating, frightening and lonely dealing with a rare and untreatable disease. FA has changed many things about our lives and brought many emotional, financial and social challenges.
My husband and I were determined to do everything possible for Chelsea and others with FA. When we received the diagnosis at CHOC more than 10 years ago, we began searching for information and hope. At that time, little was known about FA. We and other FA families came together and formed a national nonprofit organization called the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA). FARA is dedicated to the pursuit of scientific research leading to treatments and a cure for Friedreich's ataxia.
The promising news is that researchers are making the necessary discoveries to bring us closer to having treatments and finding a cure. But we are at a critical stage which requires millions of dollars to fund drug development and clinical trials.
I've done numerous fundraisers over the years for FARA to increase awareness and fund research all over the world. This year, I will be participating in the Seattle Triathlon as part of Team FARA on August 15.

Hey site owner, I like blogengine.net but why did you chose it? I mean it's so neat with the random avatars and draws people in, but what speficially made you want to install it?
I have got one recommendation for your web site. It appears like right now there are a handful of cascading stylesheet troubles when launching a selection of webpages inside google chrome and internet explorer. It is running fine in internet explorer. Perhaps you can double check this.
Only this min learned this website by way of Aol… what a pleasant surprise…
Aw, this was a really great post. In theory I'd like to write like this also - taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

Cursive II is a masterpiece by Lin Hwai-min, choreographer of the highly acclaimed Moon Water and Bamboo Dream. Inspired by the aesthetics of Chinese calligraphy, this work is both commanding and seductive.
The superb Cloud Gate dancers, trained in meditation, Chi-Kung and martial arts, touch you with original movements, fierce as striking thunder or soft as flowing ink on rice paper. The complexity of energy is further enhanced by the music of John Cage, while the blown-up images of ice crackles from Sung porcelain shimmer with delicate beauty.
This production, exquisitely filmed by dance expert Ross MacGibbon, captures the meditative aura of the dance. It excites. It mesmerizes. It is spell-binding.
