Über-private, ultra-stylish Swiss ski chalets
the unlimited lengths founders Angeline Davies and Philippa Short go to, to make this collection of chalets unadulterated luxury.
Elysian Collection's four über-private chalets do not
belong to this mortal world. They're in a super league of their
own. Surrounded by swoonworthy scenery, the year-round
skiing/snowboarding opportunities are fit for a king - quite
literally: Klosters is a favourite of The Prince of Wales. The
service (fully catered or B&B) is beyond compare with Michelin
Star-trained chefs and expert sommeliers serve you each day. One of
the four chalets (Chesa Falcun) is located in the pretty village of
Klosters. Consider it a wooden mini-palace with six bedrooms (plus
one designated for travelling staff). And the cherry on this
indulgent cake? The wellness area. Several hours south, dominated
by the mighty Matterhorn in Zermatt, are Elysian Collection's three
other chalets: Grace, Chalet Les Anges and Chalet Maurice. Reached
via private funicular railway, the six-bedroom Chalet Maurice is
the stuff dreams are made of. The largest chalet of them all is
Chalet Les Anges: a seven en-suite beauty with spa, ornamental pool
and black marble plunge pool. Then there's Grace and its five
bedrooms. With a wellness area, games room and cinema there's a
sense of playfulness about this chalet. The sort of place a young
prince could get into trouble…

This story in the Washington Post today is both sad and strange. Veronica King and her son Steven King left their 70-year-old relative alone after she fell. Worse, after Mary Coleman was deceased, neither Veronica nor Steven called Wisconsin police to report the death because, and instead left Coleman's body hidden in the basement, because, in Steven's words, "we had other things to do that day."
And part of that busy schedule apparently included spending funds from Coleman's Social Security funds. It sounds too extreme for any sane family to make such a reckless decision. And in fact, further down in the story, it's revealed that a 2009 search warrant found that Steven King, "had a number of untreated mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and Asperger's syndrome." Still, that has to be the first story I've ever read about pizza that didn't have a happy ending. The Kings have been charged with first-degree reckless homicide, hiding a corpse and recklessly subjecting an individual at risk to abuse.

See the America's Cup Trophy
1:00-5:00 pm
The America's Cup will be on display at the California Academy of Sciences as part of the Built for Speed exhibit. Come see the trophy and have your photo taken with this iconic sailing world award. Afterward, examine an AC45 catamaran designed by ORACLE TEAM USA (the America's Cup defending champions), and compare the forms that make these boats and marine animals fast in fluid.
The America's Cup is the oldest trophy in international sport, pre-dating the modern Olympics by 45 years, and is yachting's biggest prize. Originally known as the One Hundred Pound Cup, the schooner America, from the New York Yacht Club, beat 15 British yachts in a race in 1851. Made of sterling silver, it became known as the America's Cup when the owners of America donated it as a "perpetual challenger trophy to promote friendly competition amongst nations."

Chapter 14 - No Fear0 Reviews
Gerard discovered something.
"Hey! I'm sorry!"
"Sorry your face!"
Frank was trying to chase after Jamia, after what she saw that he is with another girl.
Frank quickly grabbed Jamia's left arm. "I swear I didn't mean it. Just believe me, please."
"Just tell me why you did it. That's all I'm asking. Why can't you just answer me?"
Jamia asked with trembling hands and feet.
"I... I was casted under her spell. I didn't know what I was doing until I just realized she's already sitting on my lap."
With that, Jamia slapped across his face and run towards the high school gate without waiting for her father to fetch her.
Frank was about to chase her again but a hand behind him stopped him.
"Dude, let her go. Give her time." Ray said. Frank turned around to see Mikey, Bob and Ray.
He knew they saw the whole scene. "I'm afraid she'll break up with me." Frank looked dwon at his feet and covered his face with his hands.
Ray didn't say nothing but he patted Frank's shoulder.
"I know Jamia loves you. Just give her time and I know she will come back to you." Mikey said in a small tone.
"I hope so." was all Frank said.
"C'mon let's go home. Wait, where's Gerard?" Bob suddenly asked.
"I think he's having a evaluation in Science Lab. He said he will go home late." Mikey said and everyone went home.
"So... How's your day?"
"It's okay, but I'm kind of tired."
Gerard sighed as he heard Veronica's response. "So you wanna go home?"
Veronica smiled and said, "I'll be fine." Gerard smiled back and never leave her gaze.
"Wanna go to a coffee shop? I'll treat you." Gerard offered.
"It's okay, but honestly, I'm not really drinking coffee." Gerard frowned and didn't know what to respond.
"But, I always wanted to drink tea." Veronica smiled.
Gerard smiled a little bit, knowing that he will have a chance to talk to her more, though he doesn't really like tea.
"Sure. I'll treat you. Let's go." Gerard stood up from the swing that he's been sitting on and offered a hand to Veronica.
Veronica smiled and accpeted Gerard's hand and stood up from her swing. They've been at the playground for almost half an hour.
As they walked down the street, their hands were hitting each other. Veronica tried to walk faster so she is in the front of him.
Veronica then smiled without Gerard noticing. So is Gerard. He can't hold back his wonderful grin.
As they arrived at the tea shop, Gerard opened the glass door for Veronica and she mumbled 'thanks' to him.
They sat at the corner though there are only few people in there.
A waitress approached their table and ordered their tea. After that, there was an awkward silence between them.
There were times that they'll stare at each other then giggle. Then do the same thing again, then repeat.
There were two people who just arrived at the tea shop and seated near from Gerard and Veronica's table. Gerard cannot recognize the man because his back was facing him.
Veronica noticed Gerard's face and she followed Gerard's gaze.
"You know them?" Veronica said.
"I don't know who's that lady, but that guy looks familiar." Gerard whispered.
The guy he's been watching at went to the comfort room and the lady waited. The lady looks tan; she has blond hair and slim body.
After few minutes, the guy from the comfort room went out and Gerard was kind of surprised when he recognized the guy.
"That's Logan, right?" Veronica stared at Logan then turned back to Gerard.
Gerard didn't reply anything, but he nodded as his response to Veronica.
"What is he doing with a woman? He's dating Lindsey, right?" Veronica whispered.
"Lindsey should know about this." Gerard said, never leaving the sight of Logan talking to a random woman.
The waitress arrived at their table with a tray on her hand. "Here is your order ma'am, sir." The waitress smiled and went back to the counter.
Logan haven't looked back to them, but Gerard is afraid that he'll do it.
Vernoica noticed about this and said, "You wanna leave now?"
Gerard was suprised and said, "Are you a mind-reader or something?"
"I can feel people's decision I guess." Gerard just smiled and drank at his tea.
Logan slowly turned around behind him and Gerard unexpectedly gazed at him. Gerard froze.
Logan quickly turned back to the woman he's talking and Gerard quickly stood up and grabbed Veronica's hand.
"C'mon. We have to go." Gerard said.
Gerard left a bill on the table and they quickly got out of the shop. Before Gerard can run towards the street to hail a cab,
an arm gripped his shoulder.
"Where do you think you're going? Tell Lindsey of what you just saw?"
Gerard whipped around to see Logan giving him a death stare.
Veronica don't know what to do. She tugged Gerard's arm telling him to go.
"Logan, me and Veronica will go home. If that's what you think, you're wrong."
Logan smile slyly and said, "Try to destroy my reputation in front of her and you'll get what you deserve."
Gerard just stared directly across to his eyes without blinking.
"Gerard, come on. Let's go." Veronica whispered behind him. Logan shot his eyes directly to Veronica.
"Hey you lady, tell me you saw nothing in this coffee shop." Logan said, making sure she won't tell anyone.
Veronica can't utter a word because she's kind of scared from Logan, so Gerard responded for her.
"We saw nothing. It's just me and Veronica in the coffee shop."
Logan smiled evilly and patted Gerard's shoulder. "Good. Now leave."
Veronica quickly grabbed Gerard's arm and they leave.
"Honey, dinner's ready." Donna knocked at Gerard's bedroom door but Gerard didn't respond.
"Gerard, honey, are you sleeping?"
Gerard wasn't sleeping or busy. He was just lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
"No ma. I'm making a project. I'm not even hungry, I'll be okay." Gerard lied.
"Okay, but if you want to eat something, I'll leave the food on the table."
"No need ma." Gerard said and he sighed.
He wanted to talk to Lindsey but he's afraid Logan might knew about it.
Gerard sat up at his bed and thought what to do. He went to his closet and dressed up.
He got out of the window and jumped onto the bushes beside their house. Luckily, he hit the right spot and stood up.
He climbed up the tree house that he haven't visited for years. He looked at those photos that has been posted on the wooden walls of the tree house.
He also saw the paintings and artworks made of pencils and crayons sticked in the corner of the tree house.
He smiled by himself, reminiscing the moments when there is only him and Lindsey.
His smile faded when he realized everything went different as the time went by.
His attention has been caught when a glimpse of light hit the corner of his eyes.
He watched the direction of the light and it was from Lindsey's room. She is still awake.
Gerard decided to climb down the tree and went near to Lindsey's bedroom window and picked up a small pebble.
He threw the pebble towards the window to get her attention, but nothing happened.
Gerard did it again but there's nothing. He did it thrice and then again and again, still Lindsey didn't show up.
Gerard decided to stop and wanted to go inside the house but then he stopped in his tracks when someone spoke.
"Hey stop hitting my window." Lindsey whispered, knowing that it was Gerard who did it.
Gerard smiled and said, "I'll climb up the tree house." Lindsey smiled back and then disappeared. The light of her room went off.
Gerard thought she is going to sleep but surprised when he saw Lindsey came out of the back door.
"You think we can fit in there?" Lindsey asked then laughed at Gerard.
"Of course. We're not that big, are we?" Gerard smiled and then lead Lindsey to the ladder. He let her climb in first then him.
"Wow. Are we this wild before?" Lindsey asked and giggled when she saw the artworks they made together.
"Nah, I think we are that creative." Gerard smiled and went near to her. The closeness make his insides burst. He wanted to hug her from behind but he's afraid to do so.
Lindsey turned around and fell back when she unexpectedly saw Gerard behind her. She didn't know he was standing right behind her.
Gerard pulled her so she won't fall. Gerard gripped her arms so he can pull her towards him. Lindsey almost fall on Gerard's chest but she controlled her balance.
With that, Lindsey giggled and stared up at Gerard's eyes. Her smile make Gerard's heart melt. Gerard smiled back and said, "Did I scare you?"
"No. You almost make me break my back bone." Lindsey stucked out her tongue and laughed.
Their faces were only inches apart. Lindsey closed her eyes and said, "I miss the moments when there is only you and me... and the tree house."
Gerard laughed a little bit and kissed Lindsey's forehead. "Me too."
Lindsey put her arms around her neck and swayed slowly. Gerard giggled when he knew what she's doing.
"Hey I told you many times that I can't dance." Gerard laughed. He put his arms around her waist and followed her the way she sway their bodies.
"Dance is a form of art. Art is everything." Lindsey smiled widely and winked.
Gerard stroked her hair slowly and hummed a song.
"What song is that? It sounds great." Lindsey asked. "A song I've been working on." Gerard said then smiled.
She then hugged him unexpectedly and rested her head on his chest.
Gerard wanted to say his feelings towards her but she might walk away or stay away from him forever. But for Gerard, everything that's happening on the tree house should be the only thing he should think about.
No worries, no fear, just Lindsey and him.

PKI (public key infrastructure) is a ball and chain that drags down our security efforts, all of which depend on the ability to manage identity and trust. Last week I attended a conference on digital identity, and I came away with some new perspectives on PKI.
For years, I've been frustrated by the abject failure of client-side certificates. I have one, and I use it every day to sign my e-mail messages, but no Web sites authenticate me based on attributes of my cert, nobody encrypts e-mail to me using the public key bound to every e-mail message I send, no smartcard system has appeared (at least in the United States) to help me manage my crypto keys conveniently and portably. "It's just a matter of time," I keep telling myself, "but sooner or later, the dam must break."
What if it doesn't? When you're trying to push a rock up a hill, and getting nowhere, sometimes you have to ask whether you're pushing the wrong rock, or climbing the wrong hill.
There is, admittedly, still some reason to think that today's card issuers -- governments, banks -- may yet become tomorrow's identity providers. Phil Windley, CIO of the state of Utah, thinks so. "Like it or not, we are in the identity business," he said at the conference. In the United States, the driver's license is the gold standard. Phil told me that he thinks it will eventually morph into a general-purpose smartcard ID which, to avoid the stigma of a national ID, will retain a state affiliation, but in practice will federate.
Several other presenters at the conference thought that banks are the more likely source of digital IDs. Either way, the notion is that deployment of digital IDs, by way of these card-issuing entities, will create an identity platform that developers of other kinds of applications can build on.
Maybe that will happen, but it's pure speculation for now. Meanwhile, it's getting harder to ignore the flurry of Web SSO (single sign-on) schemes and the emerging consensus around SAML (Security Assertions Markup Language). Passport is leaning in that direction, and at the conference, Craig Mundie announced that Microsoft will expand its shared source licensing program to facilitate integration with Passport. The SSO scheme proposed by the Liberty Alliance uses SAML to federate identity. So does Shibboleth -- http://middleware.internet2.edu/shibboleth -- which is part of the Internet2 Middleware Initiative and has traction in higher-ed circles.
All these systems are agnostic about the method of authentication. The credential can be a name and password, a digital ID, or biometric evidence. If you let go of the idea that a digital ID is a necessary means of authentication, you can think about targeted and strategic deployment of PKI. Another speaker at the conference was Jamie Lewis, CEO of the Burton Group and a leading analyst of enterprise directory services. He suggests an interesting evolutionary path. PKI-based trust relationships might, in the near term, be most practical among institutions rather than individuals. Rather than issue certificates to every employee, for example, a company might certify itself and then sign SAML assertions on behalf of its employees who might still authenticate by name/password.
As confusing as the XML Web services stack may often appear, Jamie points out that it is modular, layered, and thus poised for organic growth -- unlike the disastrous monolith of X.500. Good point! Identity management will, let's hope, resolve into a set of interoperable services. Asking PKI to be both an identity provider and a trust management service is almost surely asking too much. Maybe if it can take smaller bites it won't choke.

I hope they have some good rewards during the 50 level grind. Don't like the fact I can't make a new speicalisation after choosing one if I don't like what I picked the first time though.
Halo 4's multiplayer 'specialisations' revealed
Halo 4's multiplayer mode will add a pseudo-class system to the long running series. Eight different 'specialisations' can be selected by your Spartan characters, although their skills will not begin to kick in until you reach level 50. Once level 50 is attained, an additional 10 levels of specialisation can be pursued, during which you'll unlock bits and pieces of equipment and a specialisation-specific perk.
At launch, two specialisations will be available: Wetworks (a stealth class who can assassinate people faster and obscures 'Promethian Vision') and Pioneer (a class that gives you experience boosts).
People who purchase the Limited Edition release of the game will have access to all eight from the start. It's unclear at this stage how other people will get hold of the Engineer, Tracker, Rogue, Stalker, Pathfinder or Operator, but there's a suggestion that access may "unlock" at a later date.
What 343 Industries has revealed is that the three DLC map packs that come with the Limited Edition will be available separately, with the purchase of a 'War Games' DLC pass. 'War Games' will launch with Halo 4 on 6 November and costs $25 USD.

75 years of service
January 2005 marked 75 years of service to the people of Alaska by the Cooperative Extension Service . The kickoff of extension's 75th anniversary celebration was held in Juneau at a reception hosted by the University of Alaska Board of Regents at their Feb. 16 meeting.
Alaska started its Cooperative Extension Service in 1930 under the leadership of Charles E. Bunnell, the University of Alaska's first president. In 1930, the university was known as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. Today, extension is part of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the state's land grant university.
Extension programs started in the Lower 48 states beginning in 1914 with federal funding. These early programs offered practical education for rural residents who could not go to their land grant college. The first programs were about agriculture and then grew to include home economics and 4-H.
When Alaska's Cooperative Extension Service began 75 years ago, its first programs were also in agriculture, home economics and 4-H. The first district extension office outside of Fairbanks opened in Palmer in 1936 where staff worked with the early Matanuska colonists.
CES's goal has always been to meet people's practical education needs. From food preservation and master gardener classes to helping kids grow into strong leaders in their communities or helping homeowners build energy efficient houses, CES offers educational programs that have immediate and practical applications for Alaskans.
There are a number of events scheduled around the state over the next few months that highlight the many accomplishments of the Cooperative Extension Service. Our district offices will be hosting events throughout the year: Bethel, Soldotna and Nome will be hosting open houses in April; Palmer in June; and Juneau in September. There will be a 75th anniversary celebration of service in Palmer on July 30. In October, the Tanana District Office will host an open house in conjunction with Cooperative Extension's State Advisory Council meeting. CES plans to be involved with the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention, which will be held in Fairbanks at the end of October. We invite you to visit our website at www.uaf.edu/ces/anniv75/ to learn about upcoming events and to place them on your calendar.
Next copy deadline:Noon, April 6 for the April 15 edition.

Before & After: Maria's Craigslist
Cane Chair Makeover
After scoring these sweet cane back chairs from a Craigslist seller, Maria wondered what to do with them. Well, inspiration struck, and she shared her chic transformation with us.
I'm a sucker for a DwellStudio fabric, so I must applaud Maria's good taste (and cute styling)!
From Maria:
Way back in June, I found two great cane back chairs on Craigslist for a great price. The seller was so anxious to get them out of his basement that he even delivered them right to my door. I have been hoarding these chairs in my stash ever since. Part of me was waiting for inspiration (that's the story I'm sticking to).
Finally, I found the perfect fabric and completely redid them by spray painting the frames black and reupholstering the seats. It was so worth it in the end, and it feels so good to have these marked off my to-do list.
For more photos and details, check out Maria's blog, Our Lake Life.
Thanks, Maria!

I like the new color on the wood, but not the new fabric so much. Unless there are impossible stains or the fabric is worn out, I tend to avoid reupholstering.
Great transformation though I wish you had kept the old wood color and replaced the fabric.
I love the old classic look of cane chairs.
The above two comments are hilarious.
I wish you used different pillows!
KIDDING! awesome job! :)
Beautiful job! And FYI, I just saw two identical (not refinished) chairs on Rochester, NY's Craigslist right now if someone nearby feels like recreating the look! :)

Awesome job!
Great job. I love the new colour; I love the new fabric. It's a nice classic look with a slight modern twist.
Lol! to you, and commenter under you.
Beautiful job!
i love it!
I went to your blog site. You are very creative! I am impressed!
Great transformation. Good for you!
Absolutely lovely!
Love it. I especially love the fabric.
When I saw the before, I actually said out loud, "Oh, this is going to be good!" Thanks for meeting/ exceeding my expectations. They're beautiful. I'm envious.
I think they look great and both the paint and fabric are definite improvements.
The above two comments are hilarious.
Oh my, what a lovely and fresh transformation! You did a fabulous job--reupholstery is smooth, patterns matched, and colors in fabric, paint and pillows work together beautifully. Thanks for sharing!
The black makes them look sophisticated! I'm happy with the fabric and pillow choices because you are! Nice job!
Love the Josef Frank fabric on the pillows.
Wow! I am always so impressed by people who have the vision to see something potentially beautiful out of what others may discard.
HUGE improvement. Very well done.
They look beautiful! Well done!
herong x5
Love it! What kind of spray paint was used? I have an old papasan chair that I want to paint black...
Herong x6 + that other reference to herong
(seriously, I was thinking the same thing as Herong)
something is off. fabric itself is fine and also the black without the fabric.
both together doesn't quite fit.
Oh My Goodness!!! Very nice. It is so refreshing to see that somebody is using black as opposed to blue or white and distressing it! Kudos to you!!
....Herong X7
They look lovely! Great vision and great execution. I love the wood AND the fabric. :)
I do wish people would stop and think before leaving a negative comment. Is leaving a comment that you don't like something or think you have a better idea REALLY necessary? If you don't like something, click the back button and go look at something else.
This is a great transformation, makes me want to try one myself!
Herong x 8 and iuxta x 2.
I've got to the point where I click through on transformations just to laugh at the people who are all "nooo, you painted the wood" or "the before was better". Honestly, can't you people find something better to do than making snarky remarks about a project someone's proud of?
And well done Maria, the after is gorgeous.
Herong x 9 and ditto to Rebekkap.
I will NEVER forget the scolding I got on a design site for recovering a chair that a camel threw up on. Now, nobody wanted to know about the details of that incident. They were all to busy castigating me for not knowing how to properly wash upholstery and how the 1970s polyester-heavy tapestry fabric was "priceless."
If it weren't so annoying, it would be funnier.
Back to the chairs, here. Bravo, a job well done and a nice fabric. I love the pillows against the fabric choice and the black. Nicely done, hope you enjoy them!
Love the black,if only the chairs were upholstered in the pillow fabric.Just dont care for the upholstery.
Surfjack - amazing! I kind of want to hear that sory!
The chair looks great! Black was absolutely the right choice!
herong is heright
Those look wonderful. They are very similar to what I was looking for earlier this year - I saw something similar on Craigslist and I had the idea of reupholstering them and putting them in my dining room as a couple of extra chairs. I was looking forward to doing a little project, but I ended up buying some bentwood cane chairs that aren't upholstered instead. Better size for what I needed, but you did a great job.
Wow, surfjack, if you can't re-cover something a camel threw up on, what the hell can you re-cover? Really nice job on the chairs. Neither the wood nor the fabric was worth saving - they looked like depressing chairs from your grandmother's house that either smelled musty or like years of smoke.
Put a chevron on it... (oops...wrong chair post...)
The chairs look amazing.
Herong, yeah.
I would really like to to know the hurling camel story.
"Hurling camel story!" Really hilarious.
But back to the chairs: Great job! They look so much better. Thanks for sharing them with us.
a camel?
I am one who often prefers the unpainted wood, but this I love. The black paint is great, and the contrast with the lighter fabric, while perhaps not to everybody's taste, is really nice.
I, too expected to see cane painted white, gold, or light blue, with pastel colored fabric, and so was also really pleasantly surprised.
By popular request, the camel story:
I was spending a summer with a friend whose family had a large ranch of rescue animals, mostly goats and sheep and horses, but some "exotics" like alpacas, zebras and camels. Specifically, an adorable baby camel named Noah and his equally cute mama, Clementine. Clem had a habit of sticking her head into the open windows around the house to just check out what was going on, say hi and hopefully get a snack or some affection. Cute, right?
Two days after I bought this great chair at an estate sale, guess who followed me right up to the house and stuck her head in the window? And then projectile spit/vomited all over me, the new chair and directly into my handbag which was on the ground next to it.
Side note: camel vomit is like green blended spinach. Hot, green blended spinach that has been inside a camel. Not something you just wash off fabric and carry on like nothing unusual happened.
If I could have reupholstered MYSELF I would have.
best thread hi-jack EVER re: camel vomit. And the chairs look great, bravo!
Just when i was beginning to think we didn't have enough camel vomit stories in AT!!! Love the chairs- interesting combination of colour and fabric, would not have been my first choice but a beautiful restoration regardless.
Ugh the old upholstery was revolting! The new glossy black looks great. The new cushion fabric ties the black finish in with the new upholstery, but I wonder if the chairs would look as good without the cushions? I think the chairs would have looked really spectacular upholstered in the current cushion fabric and accented with a block colour picked up from the print.
The chairs - great!
The first two comments called out be herong - hilarious.
Camel spit story - priceless.
Just bought a similar chair yesterday at the Salvation Army for $5.00 and was wondering what to do. My chair has the original blue vinyl. Love the black, makes the chair look modern and inviting.
I have a vintage Kindel cane-back chair with faux bamboo frame(CL)I painted black. It was originally off-white. The lacquer black is gorgeous and really brings out the character. Great job on this pair!
Why oh why is our local area craigslist nothing but a bunch of overpriced junk? There is never anything as great as these chairs - and if there is, they want like $750 for the pair!
@tenbar, you're in luck! sort of not really. i just stumbled upon her chairs on our north jersey craigslist for $600 for the set.
i love the chairs, i plan on doing the same with mine. i just won't be buying them for that price!
Did you reupholster these yourself? I have a similar chair that I scored for $10, but I have no idea on where to begin reupholstering it. http://www.turningithome.com/2013/04/out-with-old-in-with-older.html
Turning It Home
Wow! The updated chairs look great! I just "rescued" a set of 4 high back woven cane dining room chairs that I am in the process of recovering. I was thinking of spray painting the chairs white but after seeing these chairs in black I'm kind of liking the look of glossy black.
Decisions, decision....

The following are procedures that can be done to alleviate excessive snoring that interrupts sleep patterns.
This surgery, for treatment for benign snoring, is commonly done as a laser-assisted procedure. It involves removing tissue of the soft palate and the uvula under local and topical anesthesia in an outpatient setting. The soft palate is "sculpted" by creating "trenches" around the uvula and reshaping the soft palate.
Nasal Surgery is done for nasal blockage. Although nasal obstruction and abnormal blockage of the nose is not the primary cause of sleep apnea and snoring, they are pivotal and very important contributors to these problems. The anatomy of the nose is complex. Some people misunderstand that for most patients with snoring and sleep apnea, the problems are not in the sinuses but in the nasal cavity itself. Problems may involve the septum, the nasal valve tissues, the turbinates, the nasopharynx (especially in children), or the nasal passage itself.
Every patient with sleep apnea and snoring deserves a thorough evaluation of the nose. Assessment for allergies, inflammation, polyps, as well as structural abnormalities, is important. If problems are identified and medical treatments are not successful, both in-office and outpatient surgeries may be done (often without the need for general anesthesia). For many patients who fail or poorly tolerate nasal CPAP, nasal treatments alone provide dramatic improvements in the ability to tolerate medical treatments such as CPAP.

This article I found at http://lifepsychologyandalotmore.blogspot.com and it describes nicely how to become SANE. The secret is to maintain control of your emotional state.
Emotional hijacking is a state when an individual's cognitions are overpowered by his/her emotions. It is usually referred to in the context of aggression or fearfulness.
With respect to aggression, it can be said to be a sudden unleashing of rage towards another person. It is an extreme emotional outburst or an emotional explosion caused by an incident that may trigger anger or fear in an individual.
Such incidents happen many a times. There are a number of situations in which a person might get angry or upset and without even thinking about anything he/she might just lose his/her cool and simply explode with emotions and attack the other person verbally or even physically. For instance, an individual might suddenly get extremely angry and begin to shout at his/her friend and even slur him/her. In an extreme case, a disgusted husband might suddenly get upset and beat up his wife badly. In more extreme cases, a person might kill another person with an outburst of anger.
Wife beating and killing a person due to emotional hijacking can be rare, but incidents of individuals quarreling with each other and in the process damaging a relationship are quite common. Such moments do not last very long, but the time that it lasts does enough damage. Most of the times, a person regrets getting into such an act.
Research shows that such emotional explosions are neural hijackings. In such a moment, a center in the limbic system (a part of the brain), the amygadala, the seat of all emotions in the brain, takes over the neocortex. The neocortex is the part of the brain that is responsible for our thinking. During this moment the neocortex stops functioning. The amygdala gets triggered and in an instant takes control of the brain, in a sense hijacking it. Thus, it is called emotional hijacking.
Emotional hijacking does not occur just like that out of no where. Usually certain past events that are disturbing to the individual keep building up resulting in the sudden emotional outburst. If a person is facing some problems for quite some time, they start playing on the mind and a moment may occur when he/she cannot take it any longer, which may result in the extreme explosion of emotions. A person may be too stressed out, or a person might be a bit angry for something that might have occurred before. In such a moment if something happens that further causes distress, then the chances of emotional hijacking to occur increase to a great extent.
Emotional hijacking takes place in an instant and by the time it gets over it can do a lot of damage to the person in many ways. If emotional hijacking keeps on occurring time and again then, it will have an immediate negative affect on the individual's ability to have relationships as well as the quality of his/her current relationships. Emotional hijacking occurring too often in a person will give the impression to others of the individual being a loose cannon. People will begin to dislike his/her behaviour and may keep a distance from him/her. Likewise, his/her peers, friends, and others who are close to him/her may begin to dislike him/her, because nobody would like to be at the receiving end of a person's extreme rage, especially when the person has a close relationship with them.
Emotional hijacking also creates a lot of negativity within the atmosphere. If a person due to an extreme outburst of anger shouts very loudly it has a bad affect on the mood of not only others, but also on the individual himself/herself. Such an emotional outburst is not at all good for the mental and emotional stability of the person. One incident of emotional hijacking can lead to a severe mood swing, so one can imagine what will happen if this happens very often. Such kind of behaviour will also increase the stress level of the person. In extreme cases it can cause high blood pressure and even heart problems. Therefore, emotional hijacking can have a very bad affect on a person's mental as well as physical health.
Instead of facing the negative consequences of emotional hijacking it is much better to try to prevent it as much as possible. One way to do this is to try to reason and thus challenge the anger provoking thoughts. Emotional hijacking is more of an impulse driven reaction. The person should try to think before he/she reacts in such an aggressive manner and in a way try to hold back that impulse. He/she should try to channelize his/her thoughts to a more rationalistic way and try to bring down the level of anger. This is a very good way to counter emotional hijacking, but it is easier said than done. During an episode of emotional hijacking, a person becomes cognitively incapacitated. He/she almost loses the ability to think at that moment.
The best way to prevent emotional hijacking is to just move away from that place and go for a walk as soon as one realizes that matters can become worse. This works as a distraction from the anger provoking thoughts for the person. The person buys out some time, which helps in relaxation of thoughts and makes the individual calm down. In such a situation the left prefrontal lobe (the front-left side of the brain) of the person comes into being. When the anger provoking thoughts get distracted, the left prefrontal lobe, which is responsible for maintaining emotional balance, works as a counter mechanism towards the amygdala and dampens its affect on the brain. Thus, the person comes back to his/her normal and calm phase and is able to prevent emotional hijacking.
In situations like this, watching television or listening to music can also help in distracting one from anger provoking thoughts and thus make the individual calm down. Distraction from such thoughts also helps the person to get into a more pleasant mood. If a person goes out for a walk, he/she might find the surroundings pleasant, which will have a positive affect on the mood and make him/her happier at that moment. The same thing happens when a person begins to watch television or listens to music at that moment.
Other ways of preventing emotional hijacking is deep breathing and muscle relaxation. This helps in changing the body's high arousal of anger to a low-arousal state. It also, in a way, works as a distraction from whatever triggered the anger.
It is very obvious that emotional hijacking is a very unpleasant phenomenon.The consequences of emotional hijacking are nothing but bad, be it on mood, relationships, or the overall health of the individual. A person should always try to be in a positive frame of mind and try to be as emotionally relaxed and calm as possible. The more positive frame of mind the person is in the more chances are that he/she will be away from emotional hijacking and the more chances are that he/she will be an emotionally healthy person.

14 Fit Couples We Heart
Written on February 11, 2013 at 2:35 pm , by Colleen Travers
Here at the FITNESS offices, we firmly believe that the couple who sweats together stays together. From the looks of it, Hollywood's A-list agrees! Below, our favorite fit celebrity couples, keeping their bods and bonds hotter than ever:
1. Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest – Though their schedules couldn't be more jam-packed, the pair still finds time to make good use of their time together. Recently spotted on vacation in St. Bart's, the couple took to paddleboarding instead of the usual vacation itinerary of margarita drinking and sunbathing.
2. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds – These newlyweds have been hitting the gym together since their very early days of dating. Because if you were married to Ryan Reynolds, wouldn't you be inspired to spend as much time together in spandex as possible?
3. Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Channing Tatum – Pregnancy isn't going to slow down this girl. The celebs, who danced into each other's hearts on the set of Step Up, are staying active during Dewan-Tatum's pregnancy by kayaking and hiking with their dogs.
4. Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig – Being Bond comes with the added pressure of being in secret service shape. Good thing Craig's wife, Weisz, heads to the gym with him for support.
5. Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey – The beach life suits these two well, as they make sure to take advantage of all their favorite outdoor activities together like surfing, hiking, and running.
6. Fergie and Josh Duhamel – It's not all fun and games for this running duo. Duhamel has admitted in the past that Fergie is quite competitive when it comes to working out, making the pair squeak out one more mile or rep almost every time they sweat together.
7. Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber - Known for squeezing in a run during breaks on set, Watts has been photographed a few times jogging ahead of Schreiber, leaving him to catch up. Who run the world? Girls!
8. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski - They hike. They gym it. They're just plain adorable, right?
9. Vanessa Lachey and Nick Lachey -The new parents completed the Roselyn Sanchez Triathlon For Life in 2010…but now that they have a little bundle of joy, they've slowed things done a bit with regular walks toting their son.
10. Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer – Catching these two working out together is almost as sexy as their vampire antics. They love to bike, hit the gym and even take a stab at outdoor gymnastic rings!
11. Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell – The Past FITNESS cover girl told us all about her hot yoga workout, so it's no surprise that she and her hubby frequently do Bikram yoga together.
12. Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth – Witherspoon is constantly snapped lacing up her sneaks and we're so happy that she now has a forever running buddy with her agent-husband Jim Toth.
13. Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake – By far one of the fittest couples out there, these two do it all: biking, hiking, running, surfing. We're looking forward to see where their fitness feats take them as Mr. and Mrs.!
14. BFF SPOTLIGHT! Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner – America's sweethearts are battling their sweet tooth cravings together, helping each other lose the baby weight since the births of their children last year. They pair up for Pilates classes together and practice the buddy system when it comes getting back into pre-baby shape. P.S. – Extra credit to Reese for making our list twice!

At the Frontline: A Q&A with Casino Security Consultant Alan Zajic
Zajic addresses advantage gambling, CCTV operator management and the issue of RFID tags in casino chips
I think their marketing departments need to be well informed. I think their security surveillance and floor personnel all need to be educated in the process and what exactly the property intends to do with it so that they can communicate it to the customers. If you educate and train your employees, they automatically train the customers in that regard, but if you don't have any training on it, or any education of your staff of what it's there for, they're going to make their own assumptions and communicate it to the public.
Just a few weeks ago there was a standoff with an armed man at Harrah's in Vegas. Three floors of the hotel were evacuated and the suspect was taken into custody six hours later. The casino never closed. From what we've heard, it sounds like they coordinated a pretty effective emergency response. How do you recommend casinos stay prepared for instances such as this?
Harrah's is a very progressive company and I personally know the security director at Harrah's in Las Vegas where it occurred. He's very capable and he's an excellent security director. It takes good management to manage a program. From a crisis angle, every property must have a crisis management program that includes everything that you could possibly think of-and then some-that can occur on your property, or that's ever occurred on a casino property, and have a basic contingency plan for it.
In that situation you had two people inside of a room that was rented, so it was inside a domicile where this incident started, and then it progressed and became a major issue. I find it interesting that in the news articles, the biggest push was the public was inconvenienced because they'd been sent to another room, because they'd been evacuated. And to me that's one of the best compliments in the world that the security was effective.
Your emergency plans have to take into consideration accidental or intentional food poisoning, air conditioning systems, hurricanes, floods, forest fires, closed roads, power shortages such as the Bellagio had to go through-these are all emergency operations so you have to be prepared, and then you have to make sure your staffs are in compliance with what they call the incident command system, that the law enforcement and fire departments are going to be responding under. They need to make sure they actually have a written plan that says these are the contingencies, if we have to evacuate this is how we do it, if we have a shooting in a casino-and we know that there are going to be shootings in casinos since there have been a couple dozen in the last 10 years-all the way through to major flooding like we experienced in the LA market.
You can't be responsible for thousands of people without preparing for these kinds of emergencies. And the disaster recovery has to be just as intense, because once your situation is done, you have to get immediately-if not during the incident-back on track. If your sprinklers go off because you've had a minor fire and it wets half of your casino, you've got to be back up and running, so you have to have plastic available to staff to cover certain areas. There are all kinds of things that a contingency plan should include. And there are a lot of crisis consultants who will come into your property to help train you in these issues.

Sachchidanand Sinha College, Aurangabad, Bihar - A Profile
Sachchidanand Sinha College, Aurangabad has a proud history and bears the name of Dr. Sachichidanand Sinha, the maker of modern Bihar, From the very beginning it had the blessings of Dr Anugrah Narain Sinha. one of the foremost leaders of Freedom Movement in Bihar. Akhouri Krishna Prakash Sinha, the founder of this college had the zeal and in some measure the perseverance of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya. Any narrative of this college will remain incomplete without paying tributes to the memory of the three great men.
Akhouri Krishna Prakash Sinha was a real prince among men who tirelessly pursued his cherished goal of bringing enlightenment to this remote and back ward area. To start a college in such a small and Under developed town and that too in the pre- independence days really demanded the spirit of a missionary. And when it became a reality it surprised Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha, the person after whose name it had been established. No less surprised was Dr. Anugrah Narain Sinha whose care and help nourished the college since its very inception
Akhouri Krishna Prakash Sinha was man of learning but more than that he wanted to spread the light of learning in society. His lucrative practice at the bar and the gift of a literary talent remained secondary to him. Even the rigours of the freedom struggle did not come in the way of his philanthropic activity. Philanthropy was in fact the philosophy of the life of Tripurari Babu as Akhouri Krishna Prakash Sinha was affectionately called by the people of Aurangabad.
Another illustrious son of Bihar Dr. Anugrah Narain Sinha was closely associated with the college right from its very inception. Dr Anugrah Narain Sinha, who is known in Bihar as "Bihar Bibhuti" was a prominent freedom fighter and as the first Finance Minister of Bihar after independence shaped the destiny of the State to a considerable degree. Bihar was recognized as the best administered state during the first few years since independence and also had the distinction of securing the first position in the achievement of the First Five Year plan targets. Dr. Sinha's role in all this was simply exemplary. In spite of such pressing engagements Dr. Anugrah Narain Sinha always extended his helping hand in the all round development of the College.
Dr Sachchidanand Sinha whose name the college bears hardly needs any introduction. He was a father-figure and was widely respected for his learning and erudite scholarship. As a great jurist and a pioneer journalist he enjoyed an enviable position in the Country. It was on account of his relentless efforts that Bihar was separated from Bengal in 1912 and was restored to its glory. In fact, he was a giant among the intellectuals of his time. To quote Sarojni Naidu " Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha is a man of wide interests and versatile talents and his have been notable achievements in many fields; in law and letters, journalism, education and Public activity of various kinds". It should be noted that he was very much instrumental in the establishment of Patna University.
For about forty long years Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha was associated with legislative functions at the central and Provincial level and it was only apt that he has nominated President of the constituent Assembly which began on December, 9,1946.
It is indeed a matter of great pride that this institution is named after the great man. Sachchidand Sinha College was established in 1943 which was granted affiliation in 1944 by the Patna University. This college became constituent unit of Magadh University, Bodh Gaya (Bihar).

Another big IPO week
- Monday, November 15, 1999
Reprinted with permission from World Finance Net IPO Newsletter, written by Irv DeGraw, research director.
This Week's IPO Calendar
Week of 11/15 - 11/19
If we expected any relief following last week's historic and record performance, we didn't get it. The IPO juggernaut is in high gear and rolling fast into its end of year hiatus. This week another 24 deals are on tap. While we don't have any "big boomers" like UPS and Charter, the trend of good quality deals continues full blast.
This week's "headline" deal is Agilent, the Hewlett-Packard carve out. It was wisely rescheduled from last week. Its going to be a big hit but it won't be alone. There are 6 others who will rack up impressive first day gains as well.
After a brief rest, the Internets are back. They're 63% of this week's calendar. We've got 2 very interesting foreign ISP's, and a host of direct marketers. The trend towards foreign deals also continues, along with the absence of electronic filings. And in a real twist, we've now seen the first deal who's financial statements were not translated into US$'s. Terra Networks did file electronically but it's financials are all in Euros, no US$'s. Somebody at the SEC had better wake up.
The top deals of the week are expected to be:
- Agilent, the Hewlett-Packard carve out. Expect this to be a moonshot.
- Management Network Group , another telecom industry consultant in the vein of Wireless Facilities . Expect a moonshot here too.
- Quintus , a CRM software maker postponed from last week. It only got stronger and should go over the 100% mark.
- Terra Networks , an Internet portal & ISP in Latin America. It's a carve out of Spain's Telefonica SA and is the strongest ISP IPO we've seen. Another 100% gainer.
- Cacheflow , an Internet information caching appliance maker. Another 100% gainer.
- Rainmaker Systems , a CRM service in the footsteps of Razorfish, Scient, & Viant. Another 100% play.
- IManage , which makes website e-Commerce management software.
There are also several other deals which deserve attention, including:
Last Week's Market Recap
Last week will be remembered for a long time in the IPO market's annals. It was the biggest week ever, with over $10.8 billion raised. It also had the biggest single IPO of all time with United Parcel's $5.47 billion deal. In any other week, Charter's $3.2 billion deal would have commanded headlines. But last week it was relegated to a footnote.
While the "big boys" got most of the headlines, the tech's ran up the gains. Finisar led the market with a 357.3% gain in what has become a Friday tradition. For the past several weeks, at least one deal runs into the 300% level on Friday. And in a show of continuing strength, 4 deals reached moonshot territory last week. Once a rarity, they are becoming commonplace. If we don't have a few each week, the instant pundits immediately begin decrying the end of civilization.
There were also 2 oddities last week. KPNQwest NV debuted to virtually no fanfare. Apparently lost in the pre UPS excitement and handicapped by the lack of an electronic filing, it received almost no attention. Happily it has enjoyed an aftermarket run to make up for it's lackluster first day. Immersion was also an odd story. It was introduced with no fanfare at all. In fact the press release didn't come until mid-afternoon. So it was the mystery IPO of the week.
We're also proud to point out that the WFN estimates of first day gains was remarkably close in last week's deals. Now we can't be overly precise, and close does count here, but we were right in the range on most. And we actually hit on UPS, by far the most complicated deal of the week. Note that no other service sticks its neck out to provide such estimates.

Let's all raise our glasses to Gaspard, Balthazar and Melchior – the three kings who traveled to meet the newborn baby Jesus more than 2000 years ago. Their visit (Epiphany) was the occasion that gave rise to the galette des rois, a delicious treat that the French consume on (or around) January 6. Clotilde Dusoulier tells us that a classic French galette des rois is "a flaked pastry pie filled with frangipane, a butter-rich, smooth mixture of crème d'amande (almond cream) and crème pâtissière (pastry cream). A tiny trinket (fève) is hiding within each cake, and whoever is lucky enough to eat the slice containing the fève is pronounced King (or Queen) for a day.
When we asked Clotilde and other contributing advisors to crown their own king, the baker of their favorite galette des rois, they chose Christophe Vasseur of Du Pain et Des Idées.
Five Great for Galette des Rois
- Du Pain et Des Idées – Christophe Vasseur makes his galette without any artificial flavors – just a pure crème d'amande with sugar, butter, egg, almond and a touch of Grand Marnier.
- Jacques Genin – A very close second to Vasseur, Jacques Genin's galettes are so in-demand that they're usually available only by ordering in advance.
There was a three-way tie between the following:
- Poilâne – Galettes here often have special flavors (hazelnut is one of the options this year), and contain particularly beautiful fèves. Warning: they sell both filled and unfilled galettes – be sure to get a filled one.
- Hugo & Victor – Selling a classic galette as well as one flavored with bergamote.
- Dominique Saibron – This year's collection of buttery galettes are flavored with almond, pistachio or (the latest) orange blossom.
Runners up (in order): Des Gateaux et du Pain, Pain de Sucre, Gérard Mulot
On the fence: Jean-Paul Hévin
Rejects: Arnaud Delmontel
About our process: For each topic, we begin with a little research to identify options. We then ask our readers, by posting a question in the forum, to offer additional suggestions. From that discussion, we compile a list of candidates and ask our panel of contributing advisors to rank their top choices and identify any rejects. Their rankings are weighted, analyzed, and compiled into a new Five Great post every week. Runners up are places who received more positive votes than negative comments. Those places "on the fence" received an equal number of positive and negative votes. Rejects are places that received only negative comments with no positive votes.
