Step 1: Getting ready
tell them that it took you a loooooooong time to master the ancient art of levitation, then say that you must concentrate very hard and fully believe that you can defy the laws of gravity (that is the "hardest" part of it), then say that you do a slow natural "jump" and stretch your entire body up to lift you body off the ground. Since most people can not levitate tell them that it is almost impossible to levitate any higher then a few inches. it is "very hard" to ace a landing which means that even if your only a few millimeters off then you will stumble and most likely tackle the nearest person or break a priceless vase(if you have any). And that is what you MUST tell them or else I will personally smack you on the back of the head.
YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM THIS(all of the above) AFTER YOU HAVE "LEVITATED"
but befor you levitate do not tell them what you are about to attempt does not work all the time but you must tell them to back up (or else they will see what you are doing.
ha hard grunting hahaha u funny
b'coz I'm unable to understand by photographs..

Hey, what's a $160,000 Porsche Panamera Turbo or two when you're an English soccer star? They must be a dime a dozen to guys like Andre Wisdom, the captain of England's Under 21 team, who had to ditch his Panamera stuck tire deep in mud after being led astray by bad GPS directions.
Navigation systems, man. They'll nail you every time.
Wisdom, who plays a sport known as "football" in other parts of the world, found himself in the British newspapers for all the wrong reasons after outlets like the Daily Mirror reported that he got the Porsche stuck in the mud on his way to a Saturday game at Pride Park.
He's new to the area, and when he plugged in the directions to the park in the Porsche's nav system, he was led down a mud-filled backroad where the car got stuck nice and deep.
We can make fun all we want, but this does sound pretty unfortunate and I feel bad for the guy. The good news is that after calling his team to explain what happened, he got himself to the park in time to play.

A Jeep Cherokee later towed the Panamera out of the mud, and it was seen driving away "emitting a massive cloud of white smoke", a witness told the newspaper. What, they don't make Porsches that can run on mud yet?
Thanks for the tips everyone!

Musical Acts Taking Over The Fashion World In 2014
Musical Acts Taking Over The Fashion World In 2014
The space between the worlds of fashion and music has never been smaller. Runway shows used to be scored exclusively by custom electronic composers, ethereal and up-tempo tracks to accompany the wondrous mystery that is fashion. Now runway shows are parties in-and-of themselves with tracks and performances from the likes of Azealia Banks, A$AP Rocky, Rita Ora, and more.
Designers are turning fashion into an all-encompassing experience. Fashion houses and smaller labels alike are putting sounds to their name, prescribing music to their styles and celebs whose names resonate every time we see the designer duds they represent. Lets check out five of the musical acts the fashion world can't get enough of in 2014./p>
1. Proenza Schouler Loves Chairlift's Caroline Polacheck
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are the two minds behind Proenza Schouler. Since the duo's take off in 2002, Proenza Schouler skyrocketed to fashion fame with bold prints, boxy designs and a line of accessories that have become a staple for fashionistas everywhere. Jack and Lazaro teamed up with Chairlift frontwoman, Caroline Polacheck to score their mini-documentary. The video explains the official pronunciation of the brand's name, along with its origin. The score adds an enticing and magical element to the team's artistic explanation.
2. Nomia Loves Kim Gordon
Nomia is an NYC-based clothing brand that embodies the best aspects of early '90s fashion. Taking inspiration from Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth's clothing line, X-Girl, designer Yara Flinn channeled her nostalgia in a modern way. Nomia's most recent collection introduces colorful, specialty fabrications used to accent bomber jackets and split-seam tunics. It's only fitting that the brands Fall/Winter 2014 campaign video features music from none other than Kim Gordon. The video's entire backing track is Gordon's performance for Issue Project room. Check it out on Style.com.
3. DKNY Loves A$AP Rocky
Donna Karan's DKNY has made a comeback, crowning Cara Delevingne as the face of the brand. Her Spring/Summer 2014 campaign video features the best of the best in terms of models and musicians. The video features Cara, Jourdan Dunn and A$AP Rocky dancing on top of taxi cabs and all but frolicking the streets of NYC. To top off an already aesthetically perfect campaign video, A$AP Rocky remixed his hit, "Fashion Killa" to include the DKNY name to accompany the video.
4. Alexander Wang Loves Diplo & Mad Decent
Alexander Wang made a name for himself by blurring the line between high fashion and streetwear. With his bold black and whites, neon accents, and celeb support, Alexander Wang is everywhere. He has also been a designer that incorporated music into his work. His T by Alexander Wang line features music and campaigns starring Azealia Banks and Diplo. For his Fall/Winter 2014 runway show, Wang used all Mad Decent (owned by producer Diplo) music and artists, including Pharrell's latest "Aerosol Can." He brought his influence and appreciation for other artists straight to the runway.
5. Jeremy Scott Loves Nicki Minaj, Big Sean and 2NE1
Jeremy Scott teamed up with Adidas to bring some of the wackiest, most colorful and cool sneakers to the streets. These shoes defy any previous concept of what constitutes a sneaker—glow in the dark, gold, plush teddy bear heads and even wings. This video brings fashion and music together with absolute symmetry. Taking some of the craziest style icons in music: Nicki Minaj, 2NE1 and Big Sean, artists known for their use of color and oddity, Jeremy Scott seems to be moving full speed ahead with his unique fashion vision.

Increasingly, viability for physicians and hospitals requires physicians working together and with other disciplines to agree on best practices, implement and document them, then audit our performance to make sure we are using the best practices. While any successful protocol allows us to alter the process at times, because algorithms cannot address the complexity of our patients, significant changes should impact a small number of patients.
For example, we routinely give aspirin to patients having MIs, but 1-2 percent are excluded for various reasons. A huge help is patient registries, which are making a difference and will be more important as we move forward. You can't sustainably improve what you don't measure. When the evidence does not show a significant difference in outcomes between practices, we end up practicing in the most cost-efficient way. That is the expectation of CMS, the public and insurance companies.
There are notable successes with the team approach. During the past 18 months, our critical care physicians worked with nurses and respiratory therapists to standardize care for intubated patients. Those changes resulted in a major drop in the hospital's ventilator-associated pneumonia incidences here. Similar efforts reduced central-line associated bloodstream infections and catheter-associated urinary tract infections. The work continues and you should also see a nurse-driven Foley catheter removal protocol in the near future.
Many efforts that are taking place now involve physicians and staff from each hospital in Yale New Haven Health System. Bridgeport Hospital physicians are critically important to the success of many system-wide initiatives. We need you to stay engaged as we look to offer better care. If you can participate in an initiative, please do. Remember, these are collaborative efforts, which often require compromise by all involved. I can promise you it will be an interesting process and your voice will be heard.
Cross-system groups have looked at antibiotics, chemotherapy regimens and glucose control, improved care and costs. Similarly, obstetricians did an excellent job collaborating on various complicated issues. Other procedural specialties are moving in this direction. We are working on standardizing supplies and will do more on supplies as well as on other aspects of peri-procedural care. I think real changes were made during the past few years and the pace should increase in the coming months.

An original design by award-winning artist Janet White, this delightfully detailed painting has been reproduced onto museum-archival-quality canvas using the giclee method of fine art printing. Each edition is trimmed by hand to bring to life the intricately detailed edges of the canvas and is offered with hand-painted personalization of your child's name, up to 12 letters, as shown. The painted ribbon banner is offered with "Our Little Princess" script or may be personalized with a phrase of your choice, up to 20 letters. Please specify your personalization preferences when ordering. To preserve the integrity of the artwork for years to come, the surface of the canvas is glazed with a UV protective finish.

DURHAM, N.C.—The Duke men's soccer team closed out its spring season with an event near and dear to its heart over the weekend. Prior to taking on NC State in the final game of the spring campaign, the Blue Devils visited with huge Duke soccer fan Micah Gauss prior to him walking in the Angels Among Us 5K and Family Fun Walk.
Gauss, one of Duke men's soccer's strongest supporters for the past several seasons, is a patient at the Duke Hospital. He can be seen on the stands at nearly every home game cheering the Blue Devils to victory and will visit with the players on the field following the game. Gauss' "Team Spider-Man for the Micah Man" raised over $3,000 for the charity. His spirit has inspired the Blue Devils players and coaches and they continue to remain active in his family's life.
Angels Among Us 5K and Family Fun Walk, originally known as the Duke Forest 5K, originated as a hastily sketched out plan on the back of a napkin during a lunch break. TwoDuke employees had each lost a family member from a brain tumor and wanted to make a difference. Both family members had received treatment at Duke, so they chose to direct their efforts to the Duke Brain Tumor Program. The original dream stated that allfunds raised would go to research.
All proceeds continue to go directly towards research and clinical trials of brain and spinaltumors at The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke. The money is used to fund crucial initiatives that address the greatest needs and have the most impact on the lives of all brain tumor patients, support new and innovative research and treatments, assist with the recruitment of the most outstanding research staff and personnel, and purchase essential equipment and supplies. "At Duke, There is Hope" for all patients.

Prince William rides the Batpod at Warner Bros. Studios. (Paul Rogers - WPA Pool/Getty Images)
Is that you, Batman?
Prince William commandeers lifesaving missions as a search-and-rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force, but when he channeled comic book hero Batman during a visit to Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, England, on April 26, one woman couldn't take him seriously.
Kate Middleton let out a hearty chuckle when her main squeeze straddled the Batpod, the tricked-out motorcycle worth an estimated $1.5 million from the "Dark Knight" trilogy.
[Related: Kate Middleton Flaunts Pregnant Figure in Clingy Spring Dress]
The soon-to-be dad, 30, appeared positively gleeful on the fancy set of wheels. Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge, who is six months pregnant, looked on lovingly as her hubby played out his superhero fantasy.
"To be honest, I'm over the moon just to have seen the real Batmobile and Batpod," Prince William exclaimed during a speech at the studio. "You don't have baby seats for those cars, do you, by any chance?"
But Will wasn't the only royal who was enamored with the bat-tastic memorabilia. Prince Harry was spotted eying the Batsuit worn by Christian Bale.
Prince William and Prince Harry check out the Batsuit. (Paul Rogers - WPA Pool/Getty Images)
The royal trio spent the day with 500 children at the famous studios, which were also the film location for the "Harry Potter" franchise, to mark Warner Bros.' investment in the United Kingdom's film community.
[Related: Kate Middleton's Stylish Maternity Looks]
As the head of BAFTA, you'd think William could contain his excitement during such an important visit.
It just goes to show, no matter the age or the royal pedigree, fanboys will still be fanboys.

Quick question - my recreational night class instructor (by day a pipe-welder) has told me to vertical weld it's basically straight across, pause, back slightly up to end at the top of the starting point, pause - repeat pattern. Seems to align with all other advice - can I ask why some 'vertical weld' pictures I've seen seem to have the stack of nickels appearance like with a cursive lower case "e" pattern? Is that probably because that what was done?!
Also - can someone please explain the 'whip' movement I've seen mentioned here?

Vertical techniqueMiller Thunderbolt 225 AC/DC

The stack look probably came from a vertical down weld as opposed to vertical up...
My vertical down looks way better than my vertical up
Vertical technique
Whip is just moving the rod out of the puddle, allowing it to freeze, then back in the puddle. In vertical that would be moving it up slightly and back down into the puddle. Usually done with a 6010 rod and not a 7018 rod. Great for filling gaps.

Simple side to side motion pausing at each edge to fill and not undercut. moving up slightly as you move across each time to advance the puddle upwards. I've tried many different techniques or patterns but find them of no value added and just KISS (keep it simple) side to side. Move faster across the middle to keep the weld flat if you are getting rounded bead.Miller syncrowave 200 runner with coolmate 4

Ban CARS! That poor, innocent fire hydrant didn't stand a chance!
The water's okay. Unless somebody has a problem, in which case we need to ban that, too. Safety first, boys and girls, even above and beyond good sense!

You thought the 2008 election cycle was over? So did we. But we helped five of our candidates battle to virtual ties, and must now fight through final vote counts and potential recounts. This one ain't over guys, and the fate of five of our great candidates hangs in the balance.
Franken trails by just slightly more than 200 votes out of 2.6 million cast. A recount is on its way. Help Al get every vote counted.
Raised on this page:
Just 149 votes separate Kilroy from her opponent, with 27,000 absentee and provisional ballots left to be counted. In her 2006 race against then-incumbent Deborah Pryce, Kilroy gained almost 2,500 votes after all the provisional votes were counted, and came within 1,062 votes of winning. If we can keep up the fight, prospects are looking good.

NEWPORT–A fantastic season for the UCA Crusader boys came to a close on Monday evening, as they fell to the West Rutland Golden Horde 68-49 at the North Country gymnasium.
"Though we lost this game, I am proud of the effort my guys played with until the end," said UCA coach Tony DeLaBruere.
Chris DeLaBruere led UCA with 22 points, and grabbed nine boards.
Marquel Taylor-Webster was also in double-digits, score 13 in limited time while grabbing nine rebounds and recording five blocks.
Jordan Pease led all scorers with 24.
ORLEANS-It was a long trip up from Brandon, Vermont for the 11th seeded Otter Valley Otters Saturday, and after a painful 29 point whupping by host Lake Region, it probably was a longer trip back.
The Lake Region backcourt had their way with the visiting Otters, forcing 26 turnovers with their relentless multi-headed group of guards to earn a to a trip to the Division Two Final Four at Barre Auditorium this coming Wednesday.
Add to the fact that the Otters had no answer for Drew Gallup inside, and it was a long afternoon for Otter Valley.
ORLEANS–The Lady Rangers did not finnish up the regular season they way they wanted to, as they fell to Winooski 56-45.
The game was seen as a test for Lake Region as they prepare to head into the play-offs without a few crucial members of their squad.
"That game was one we really wanted to win for seeding purposes," said assistant coach Joe Houston. "It wasn't a one-and-done situation, but it was sort of like that atmosphere, and we did not handle it the way we wanted to in terms of coming out and staying composed.
NEWPORT–It wasn't easy, it wasn't always pretty, but in the end, the UCA boys got the job done, defeating South Royalton 39-31 to advance to the quarterfinal's against the winner of West Rutland/Sharon contest.
Taylor-Webster's 18 points led all scorers, and he had 8 rebounds to boot.
Chris added 10 points to go along with 11 boards, Saaman had 9 and 5, and Kim had 2 points.
Jon DeLaBruere and Dale Martell each had a pair of rebounds.
Originally slated to play on Friday, the Crusaders' game has moved to Monday at 6:00 at North Country's gym.
ORLEANS-When you enter the second season, you have to take it one game at a time. Don't look ahead , don't be distracted and keep your focus.
That is exactly what the Lake Region Ranger boys did Wednesday night, as they demolished visiting Springfield 76-45 in the play-down round of the Division II bracket.
The Rangers may have gotten a break as they will take on Otter Valley, the number 11 seed as they pulled off the overtime upset, beating number six seed Mill River 77-72. A player to watch Saturday will be OV's Ryan Kelley, who jacked up 43 points in the win.
NEWPORT–North Country and Burlington went at it tooth and nail for the first one and a half quarters of the Falcons game on Tuesday night before the Seahorses' found that extra gear and pulled away for the 46-33 win.
"Momentum in the game of basketball is everything," said NCU coach Christiane Brown. "We came out to play, but again, momentum is big, and we need to put four quarters together and not let down, even if something good goes for them, because that is how basketball works."
NEWPORT–It has been a little while since the UCA boys have hosted a home play-off game, and after a season that left the team with a 14-6 record, the third ranked Crusaders are more than ready to welcome South Royalton to the North Country gymnasium on Wednesday evening.
"We are obviously excited at the chance to start the play-offs with a home game," said UCA coach Tony DeLaBruere. "Everybody is calm right now, and we need to keep doing what we have been doing and when we relax on the court we definitely have better success."
NEWPORT–After receiving confirmation from athletic Mike Kiser Sunday evening, I was able to speak to former North Country boy's Varsity head coach Brian Bonvechio on Monday, who said he was indeed departing from the program.
Said Bonvechio, "The reason that I am leaving the position is that I have lost my passion for the game as it stands now.
"There is too much emphasis on the one-on-one aspect of the game, and not enough focus on the team aspect.
"If I am not into it, then it is not fair to the players, the school and the administration for to me to still be out there coaching."
CRAFTSBURY–Although the Chargers lost their final game of the season 59-45 to finish the year at 11-9, the bigger story was senior Frank Spiese.
Frank is the only basketball player graduating from Craftsbury this year, and the folks at the Academy gave him one heck of a send off on Friday night.
For the Full Story, See Monday's Express on 2-25-13!
CRAFTSBURY–The Lady Chargers jumped out to 20-4 lead in the first quarter and never looked back, defeating South Royalton 46-24 to finish the year with a 16-4 record, good for the number three seed in Division IV.
"We like to come out and defend the home court, especially when a team is coming in from a far distance," said CA coach Rick Thomas. "We like to hammer those bus legs. We are a pressing team, that is what we have become and that is how we play the best."

Hang tight!
Recipe by Carolyn Herbert
"I have made this recipe for years. My children always chose it for their birthday cake over any other, and it makes enough for a crowd. Moist and delicious. Very easy to make. Enjoy!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups
all-purpose flour
2 cups
white sugar
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 cup
sour cream
1 cup
1 cup
5 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons
1/2 cup
4 cups
confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
chopped walnuts
I thought this was a 5 star finished product, but it takes way longer than 10 min. prep time, melting the butter/cocoa to a boil takes at least that. Make this your first step, so it can be cooling while you deal with the dry ingredients, etc. Rather than struggling to blend eggs and sour cream into a lot of dry stuff, whisk them together separately, and add gradually while running the mixer on Stir for very short periods of time, then add the lukewarm cocoa mix (too hot and you might curdle the batter). Finish by hand. All told, it took 30 to 40 min. to get it in the oven, which is really where the ease begins. It cooks quickly and you don't have to stay up all night waiting for it to cool so you can ice it. Take the time to scale it if your pan is bigger, it is tricky to do the math but it will make a difference, you won't end up with a big flat chocolate cracker. The pan size in the text is 10X15 but the pan size in the header is different; use the 10X15 size. Multiply pan dimensions to give you sq. in. (150 for this recipe; my pan was 192). Divide your pan area by 150, and multiply the result by 35 servings. This tells you what number to plug into the servings box; hit scale and it will automatically do the conversion for you. Odd stuff like 2 1/2 eggs can be rounded to 3 without catastrophe (I did it). Or just go buy a new 10X15 pan.:)PS-sift the sugar for the icing after measuring and before mixing, for no white lumps.
Needs more chocolate flavor. It was ok otherwise.
Will not make as written again. I would start with 7 T of cocoa powder for cake and frosting, use buttermilk in the frosting, and maybe try coffee for replacement of the water.

This cake is delicious and simple to make! Two tips:#1: Have your frosting ingredients set out and ready to go. After stirring in the powdered sugar, DO work quickly to spread it on the cake. It does become like fudge consistency as it cools. #2 If you have not checked to see how level your oven is, you may want to do that before you start. An unlevel surface does show alot on a sheet cake. Wonderful recipe!! You won't be disappointed!! Thanks!!!!!!!
An easy recipe for a good, basic sheet cake. Use a 9x11 pan or double the recipe because 10x13 made for a very thin cake!
I just got done eating ANOTHER bite of this cake. Unfortunately, I have been doing that all day long!!! I made it for company last night and I am being tempted with what is left of this large delicious cake! This was the first time making this cake...I was pleasantly surprised. If you like chocolate, I don't see how you wouldn't like this cake. It is moist and rich, but not too rich where you say you can't eat it(obviously I am not having that problem). I made it in a 10x15 pan, that I thought was only good for making my cookies. I used Baker's Joy cooking spray to grease my pan(very easy). This is a thinner cake, but I liked it the way it was. You have a better icing to cake ratio this way :) I suggest starting the icing approx. 10 minutes prior to the cake coming out of the oven. That way the cake is done right when you are done with the icing.
Yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa! My native Texan hubby as well as the rest of our family LOVE this cake! We baked this in a 9 x 13 metal pan for 22 minutes - perfection! This was super easy to make. Make sure that you prepare the icing when you are able to put on the cake while it is still warm, preferably right out of the oven. The icing gets stiff fast so the warm cake helps it spread. My family also loves to pair this up with vanilla ice cream. Being from San Antonio where pecan trees are in the back yard, we only make this with pecans, not walnuts. If you are one to worry about calories and fat content this recipe isn't for you, enjoy! ;-)
excellent! just perfect. i did not make this in a jelly roll pan. i made it like a normal cake in a long rectangular cake pan. if your reading this review, there is no need to search for another texas sheet cake recipe. make this one.
I loved that I had all the ingredients on hand, no rushing to the shops for an obscure ingredient. It did take longer than the 20 mins. to cook - more like 35 for my oven. I made this for a dinner appointment, it was great, but as it took longer to cook we were late! When they saw the cake, all was forgiven, thanks Carolyn.

Traveling tips for first time travelers
Traveling can be a completely interesting affair especially if it is with family and friends. With the near and dear ones around, one has to hardly be worried about anything. What if someone is traveling alone and for the first time? There are few traveling tips for first time travelers to ensure that the trip turns out to be fun-tastic!
Expert Traveling Tips: For new ones
1. One will have to forget the comfort of home while traveling and hence one may come across not so suitable place, people and food.
2. Learning the basics of the local lingo can help build a trust with the people around and develop an association with them.
3. A traveler should avoid being judgmental and be open to learn new things. Do not go by the face value. Beauty can be deceptive.
4. Being travelers, one should never forget mannerisms and respect local customs of the particular region. This paves a way for the 'welcoming attitude' from the locales.
5. On the travel mode, one should definitely try all sorts of cuisine even those that are available on the roadside. Shedding discomfort can help one grow.
6. A traveler should carry a handbook or guide that helps in navigation and avoiding thugs in causing any danger. One should also carry essential accessories such as headphones, travel kits etc. with them in order to make the trip more comfortable.
7. If the aim is to learn about the place, one should use local food, local transport and local accommodation.
8. If a person is scared of doing something, that is the first thing to do so as to get rid of the fear. Hence a traveler should seek to do the things he might never have attempted.
9. Whether it is for short or long distance travel it is always good to carry minimal baggage as may be required. This will reduce the burden of luggage to be carried all along.
The best way to learn the art of traveling is to begin early. According to Saint Augustine, the great philosopher – the planet of Earth is a book and those people who do not travel end up reading a single page. Why would one want to miss out reading this extraordinary book?
Scoring the Perfect Apartment Location
There are all kinds of questions swimming around in your head when it comes to thinking about things to look for in a potential apartment. A lot of them are really important like, "How many of my vital organs will I have to sell per month in order to make rent on his apartment?" and "Does a rat trap come free with purchase, or will I need to pick up my own?" One of the most important aspects to consider, though, is not cost or cleanliness but location. Your apartment is going to be your new home, for however long or short you live there. You need it to suit your particular needs.
The Daily Commute
You may think your apartment locator has just found you the most absolutely perfect apartment. It's just the right size, just the right shape, and chock full of all the amenities you can think of. The only snag is it's an hour away from your job. But no problem, right? Wrong. Think about it. It's 5am. You have to be at work by 7:30. You need to be up and at 'em five minutes ago if you're going to be on time. The same thing will happen on your way home. It's been a hard, long day. You're going to hit that 5 o clock traffic. Suddenly that hour commute just became a 2 hour commute, and all you want is to go home. Your life is worth more than driving to and from work. It is not the perfect apartment.
Consider only apartments with driving distances that give your gas budget (not to mention your snooze button) a break or apartments that are near public transportation hubs. That way, you won't have to worry about traffic jams or clear thinking. Make yourself a cup of coffee, grab your briefcase, and let somebody else do the work to get you to work.
Stranger Danger
It doesn't matter how cute it is or even if it is so close that it is literally on top of your place of work. If you feel the need to carry pepper spray with you on the way to the bathroom, there is a problem. It is not the perfect apartment. Your home is your safe place. Make sure it is, indeed, a safe place. Choose a neighborhood, like the deep ellum apartments, that you would feel secure walking around in during early evening hours.
What's Nearby
Introverts and extroverts alike need to think about this one. Extroverts, do not end up in a cutsie apartment that is years away from the nearest club or strip mall. You will regret it every Saturday night when you have to pack snacks in the glove compartment and drive an extra forty-five minutes just to go out for dinner. Introverts, don't get stuck living in an apartment complex in the loud, trendy part of town. You will regret it every time you hear the cackle of a twenty-something who's had too much to drink or the party wagon pulling down the street. It isn't your scene. Don't even try it.
Game Plan
The trick is devising a strategic plan and sticking to it. Set your parameters for where you want to live and only look in those places. "Oh this one's only ten miles outside my circle!" Stop it. Let not thyself be tempted. Your future sleeping self will thank you for that extra half hour every morning. Stick to your circle. It will save you time and energy, both now and later.
Top 3 Convertible Car Seats & Their Reviews
A convertible car seat, as the name suggests, is a car seat which can be used as a forward-facing seat as well as a rear-facing seat, one at a time. The same seat can be converted and used interchangeably. It is highly recommended and is the first choice for smart buyers who wish to purchase only a single car seat which can be used throughout the baby's childhood. Although a bit costlier than other car seats, you can even skip purchasing the infant seat as the convertible car seat can be used right from the beginning. After having answered what is a convertible car seat, we now move on to some recommendations and the top models of car seats for your children.
Recommended seating standards for car seats recommend rear facing position of your child until the child reaches the age of 2-3 years or until the child crosses the rear-facing height and weight limits mentioned by the convertible car seat model. Henceforth, the seat can be converted to a forward-facing position and should be used until the child meets the forward-facing height and weight limits. If you have multiple children, the same car seat can be re-used for your second child.
Here, we recommend some of the best convertible car seats which can be used for your children:
Britax Roundabout G4
This convertible car seat will fit an average sized newborn baby. Just like all the G4 models, it comes with an infant insert facility which allows it to be used right from the beginning. Due to its compact size, it can be easily adjusted even in small sized vehicles. Its features mention it to be used for 5-40 lbs when rear-facing and 20-55 lbs when forward facing. It comes with 4 sets of harness slots and two buckle positions. It comes with push-on LATCH connectors which makes it easy for installation in your vehicle. The car seat is made up of energy-absorbing EPP foam which ensures proper safety and comfort for your child whether facing rear or forward. The anti-slip base of the seat makes use of the SafeCell technology to avoid slipping of the convertible car seat.
Evenflo Symphony DLX
This convertible car seat is a 3-in-1 car seat which solves the purpose of a rear-facing, forward facing and a booster. The recommended ratings for this car seat are 5-40 lbs for rear facing and 22-65 lbs for forward-facing. It comes with a 5-point harness system and includes a booster from 40-100 lbs. The unique feature about this car seat is its self-ratcheting "SureLATCH" connectors with built-in retractors which automatically adjust and tighten when the baby is placed on the seat. The seat is made up of E3 foam which provides enhanced protection and extra comfort. Read the car seat manual carefully before installation of your convertible car seat.
Diono Radian RXT
If you have a small vehicle and are looking for a compact seat which can fit well inside your vehicle, this is the best convertible car seat for your child. The Radian RXT model has the same weight ratings as that of Radian R120 model with 5-45 lbs for rear-facing and 20-80 lbs for forward-facing but the Radian RXT provides improvised SIP (side-impact protection) due its deep and adjustable head wings. EPS foam seats, 5-point harness system and tall top harness slots make it the most preferred convertible car seat.

Best Baby Monitors and Their Amazing Features
Baby monitors are manufactured and marketed by various companies like Samsung, Motorola, Summer Infant, Angelcare etc in the US. No baby monitor can be termed as a perfect one but the best baby monitor for you depends only upon your requirements and about all the features it incorporates. The more the number of features, the costlier it becomes. However, the basic feature of monitoring the movements of your baby is provided by all the video baby monitors available.
Baby monitors can be classified into audio and video baby monitors. As the name suggests, Audio baby monitors are used to monitor the sounds uttered by your baby that can be heard by the care taker sitting at a different place. It uses the basic principle of radio waves transmission and consists of a similar setup used in transmitting and receiving radio waves. Audio baby monitors were used earlier and were cheaper as compared to the video baby monitors. Nowadays, audio monitors come along with other features such as motion sensors, video feature, temperature sensors etc.
Here we will discuss about the baby monitor reviews for the various models available in the market along with the features they offer:
1. The Motorola MBP33 Wireless Video Baby Monitor: This is one of the best baby monitor and my personal favorite choice available in the market. Expensive but comes with almost all the features which can be incorporated in a single device. The video quality of the baby monitor is the best during the day as well as during the night due to the infrared night vision camera and a 2.8 inch color LCD display. The Motorola MBP33 can be used for up to 3 additional cameras along with the remote zoom in facility. Another ideal feature this model is the temperature sensor which allows you to view the baby's room temperature and accordingly adjust it to make her feel more comfortable. The baby monitor runs on a Wi-Fi connection and the battery life is limited so you might have to charge it frequently in order to use it for long hours.
2. Summer Infant Baby Touch Digital Color Video Monitor: It comes with a 3.5 inch colored video display and a range of up to 400 feet between the transmitter and the receiver units. It can also be connected up to 3 additional cameras; the cameras can however be adjusted remotely and can be tilted up and down, left and right. This ability of remotely adjusting cameras is very helpful to check other activities and movements inside the baby's room.
The displaying units of this baby monitor works just like a smartphone as it has a touch screen feature. It also allows you to talk back to your child which gives the child a sense of "not being alone" inside the room. Due to all these advanced features, this baby monitor is unsurprisingly more expensive than its other counterparts.
3. Samsung SEW 3036WN Wireless Video Baby Monitor: This baby monitor again comes with a 3.5 inch color LCD display along with Zoom and Infrared Night Vision Camera Features. Its ability to connect with multiple cameras and an excellent range of about 800 feet makes it more desirable than any other video baby monitors. The only thing missing in this baby monitor is the temperature sensor. However the absence of a temperature sensor also makes it cheaper to its other counterparts that have this facility.

Recipe by Marianna
"This recipe is a great way to used canned or leftover salmon, and is easily adapted to include whatever spices you like."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (7 ounce) can
salmon, drained and flaked
egg, beaten
1 tablespoon
olive oil
green onions, finely chopped
2 cups
finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs
lemon pepper to taste
I noted that some reviewers commented on "way too much cracker crumbs"...well, if you read the recipe it only calls for 2/3 cup crumbs in the salmon mixture and the rest is for coating the patties....otherwise, this is a good recipe for salmon cakes; love that they are baked instead of fried. I did spray the baking sheet with a pam-like spray (natural one).
All I did to this recipe was add a heaping teaspoon of Old Bay and a little garlic powder. I changed nothing else. I followed the directions EXACT. These salmon cakes were VERY hard to keep together and when they came out of the oven, they were VERY dry. Even the sauce I made to serve with it couldn't save it. The grownups didn't like it at all but funny enough, the kids loved it. Three stars based on that alone.

These are super easy & super delicious! I have made these more than a dozen times - they come out wonderful each time. I make the following changes: Use two 6oz cans salmon instead of one 7oz can (or two pre-drained 3oz packets). Add garlic. Use lime juice instead of lemon pepper - makes a huge difference in the taste. Also add frozen onions and green bell peppers. Before cooking I spray each patty once on each side with spray butter which makes them brown nicely. To be healthier, you can substitute spray olive oil if you can find it. I followed another's advice and make a sauce with mayo, lime juice & dill for dipping. Like I said, these come out consistently fantastic. I have served these at dinner parties with many compliments & my husband asks me to make these at least once a week!
Usually my crab cakes fall apart, these salmon cakes stayed formed and were really good. I did not add as much of the crushed crackers, but I did add some fresh ground pepper, garlic, and parsley. I did not have green onions so I used finely chopped yellow onion. My kids do like fish most of the time and they ate two of these each. Good recipe for canned salmon. Thanks.
This is a family favorite for my family of 6. I usually have to triple the recipe. I use to pan fry our salmon cakes but not no more! Pop these in the oven after you have made a dish of "Down Home Macaroni and Cheese" from this site, and add a salad or green veggie.... my family loves green peas as a side with this.... and you have a great family satisfying meal.
Easy and yummy! I decided to make a batch of these and bring them to work since I am the only one in the family that eats fish. I made a dipping sauce to go with it: 2 tbsp light mayo, 1 tbsp lemon juice, pinch of basil. Everyone who tried it loved it. The dipping sauce went very well with it. I will make these for the party I'm having next week! Thank you!
This recipe was really good - very easy and had great flavor. I used fresh salmon (I poached it in water, lemon juice and wine), but I think canned would be fine too. I served the salmon cakes with a cucumber-yogurt sauce, and it was wonderful!
My husband really liked these - he's a big fan of salmon cakes and I've never had a recipe to make them. I'll make them again, but next time I'm going to cut back on the crackers added to the salmon, because I feel they were a bit too dry. Other than that, a really good meal.

System Center Data Protection Manager 2007
Data Protection Manager (DPM) is the new standard for Windows backup and recovery, delivering continuous data protection for Microsoft application and file servers using seamlessly integrated disk and tape media. DPM enables rapid and reliable recovery through advanced technology for enterprises of all sizes.
Minimum Requirement
Recommended Requirement
For information about how DPM manages memory, see DPM and Memory (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=97938).
For information about configuring the DPM pagefile size, in the DPM Operations Guide see Managing Performance (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91859).
Disk space for DPM installation
The system drive disk space requirement is necessary if you chose to install the instance of SQL Server from the DPM download package. If you are using an existing instance of SQL Server, this disk space requirement is considerably less.
DPM requires a minimum of 300 MB of free space on each protected volume for the change journal. Additionally, before archiving data to tape, DPM copies the file catalog to a DPM temporary installation location; therefore, we recommend that the volume on which DPM is installed contains 2–3 GB of free space.
Disk space for storage pool
The storage pool does not support Universal Serial Bus (USB)/1394 disks.
For information about calculating capacity requirements and planning the configuration of the disks, in Planning a DPM 2007 Deployment see Planning the Storage Pool (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91965).

I am using polygon layers from various sources to create species distribution maps however some of the layers have different polygon coordinates to others, therefore I cannot use them together as layers. Is there a simple way to change the coordinates of the polygon? I am relatively new to DIVA gis so any help is much welcomed.

I have not tried it, but the DIVA-GIS manual, section 10.1 describes the Tools->Projection option. If you know the projections of each layer, then you should have no problem converting them.
Another option would be to use QGIS to fix the input data, and then use DIVA-GIS for the domain specific operations you need.
