Price Paid: $35
I bought this pack for my 5-year-old son. I chose this pack over the others due to the fact that it had all of the features of adult backpacks plus a few kid friendly features including a waist belt with pockets, a bladder pocket, and cinch straps.
The chest strap even includes a built in whistle in case the child becomes lost. All zippers appear very sturdy and the price was more than fair

We prefer B&B anywhere we travel.When we booked Capt. Moe's, we didn't expect the attention that we received. We stayed an extended time and were treated like family the whole time. I would give this facility a ten plus and recommend it to anyone traveling to the Golden Zone in Mazatlan. The breakfast was more than adequate and choices that match most buffets in the area. If you miss staying with Dorothy and Moe, then you are going to miss the most pleasant experiences you'll be able to talk about for years. I will not hesitate in telling you that you need to experience the quiet atmosphere and personal attention you will get there. Gary (Mosie) from Iowa

AbstractThermal Batteries are reliable, high energy density power sources that have very long shelf lives. Optimal performance of these batteries depends on the insulation material and detailed design. There have been many studies that have investigated the use of a particular type or class of insulation. These investigations have been useful in demonstrating insulation concepts, but they have not provided battery designers tangible design tools. Additionally, complex thermal battery models have been developed to explore the multicomponent transport and electrochemical interactions that occur in thermal batteries. While very valuable for research, these models are too complex and computationally intensive to be of practical use to battery designers. On this project, we will develop a computational tool specifically to assist designers in optimizing insulation for thermal batteries. In Phase I, we will create the computational framework based on the appropriate set of transport equations and a prototype of the user interface. The tool will be flexible enough to allow the designers to explore the use of multiple insulation strategies. In Phase II, we will refine the package, optimize the insulation for a specific MDA battery design, and then verify the package by building and testing the optimized design.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This paper proposes a join query processing algorithm CoLocationHashMapJoin (CHMJ). First the study designs a multi-copy consistency hash algorithm. The algorithm distributes the data of tables over the cluster according to the hash values of the join property, which improves the data locality while ensure data availability. Second, based on the multi-copy consistency hash algorithm, the study proposes a parallel join query processing algorithm called HashMapJoin. HashMapJoin improves the efficiency of join query significantly. CHMJ has been used in Tencent's data warehouse system, and plays an important role in Tencent's daily analysis tasks. The results show that CHMJ improves the efficiency of join query processing by five times comparing to Hive.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Data-intensive applications are increasingly designed to execute on large computing clusters. Our previous observation on Tencent production systems has indicated that join query is one of the most important queries in large-scale data processing. When running a join query on Hive system, the job of the join query is divided into map phase and reduce phase, and requires transferring large amounts of intermediate results over the network, which is inefficient. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm called CHMJ, the general idea of the algorithm is to take advantage of data locality to accelerate calculation. It includes four parts, Data distribution strategy, Parallel HashMapJoin Algorithm, CoLocation Scheduling and Delay scheduling strategy. CHMJ has been adopted in Tencent data warehouse, and plays an important role in Tencent's daily operations. Our relevant experiments demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of our solution.
Conference Paper: A Hardware-Based TCP Stream State Tracking and Reassembly Solution for 10G Backbone Traffic[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: There is a growing interest in designing high-speed network devices to perform packet processing at stream layer. However, TCP processing for 10G backbone traffic is not just to address performance problem but also to cope with abnormal conditions. Some characteristics of real traffic, especially the lack of finish tag for many streams and the complexity of packets reordering, will result in memory exhaustion for hardware-based TCP subsystem which is less flexible for exceptional processing. In this paper, we present a hardware design for backbone traffic which is capable of processing 10G with TCP reassembly and tracking states of millions of parallel TCP streams. The solution has several features: (1) an effective, easy hardware implementation stream replacement algorithm for massive stream table (2) fast one round access to global stream table which enable 10MPPS processing (3) an active release policy for out-of-order data buffers management (4) a design of linkless data structure which ensures time limit for worst case processing. The simulation result shows that the system can process over 99% of the 10G Backbone traffic using reasonable storage resources. A FPGA-based prototype is also implemented for evaluation.
Conference Paper: TDWS: A Job Scheduling Algorithm Based on MapReduce[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: As organizations start to use data intensive cluster computing systems like Hadoop MapReduce to handle large-scale data, scheduling of jobs become very important in order to achieve efficiency. In the default implementations of Hadoop MapReduce, jobs are scheduled in FIFO order. It easily causes the starvation of small jobs in the event of resources being utilized by large jobs, while Fair Scheduler is inefficient when handling large jobs and it leads to sticky slots problem. In this paper, we proposed a new job scheduling algorithm TDWS. The scheduling algorithm takes account characters of different applications to meet their different needs. In addition, it is also highly robust to heterogeneity and easy to achieve optimal data locality. The experiments demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of our solution.
Article: Cyclotron Resonance Energies and Orbital Elements of Accretion Pulsar 4U 0115+63 During the Giant Outburst in 2008[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We present both timing and spectral analysis of the outburst of 4U 0115+63 in April -- May 2008 with INTEGRAL and RXTE observations. We have determined the spin period of the neutron star at $\sim 3.61430 \pm 0.00003$ s, and a spin up rate during the outburst of $\dot{P}=(-7.24 \pm 0.03)\times10^{-6} {\rm s d^{-1}}$, the angle of periapsis $\omega=48.67^\circ \pm 0.04^\circ$ in 2008 and its variation (apsidal motion) $\dot{\omega} = 0.048^\circ \pm 0.003^\circ {\rm yr}^{-1}$. We also confirm the relation of spin-up torque versus luminosity in this source during the giant outburst. The hard X-ray spectral properties of 4U 0115+63 during the outburst are studied with INTEGRAL and RXTE. Four cyclotron absorption lines are detected using the spectra from combined data of IBIS and JEM-X aboard INTEGRAL in the energy range of 3 -- 100 keV. The 5 -- 50 keV luminosities at an assumed distance of 7 kpc are determined to be in the range of $(1.5-12)\times 10^{37} {\rm ergs s^{-1}}$ during the outburst. The fundamental absorption line energy varies during the outburst: around 15 keV during the rising phase, and transiting to $\sim 10$ keV during the peak of the outburst, and further coming back to $\sim 15$ keV during the decreasing phase. The variations of photon index show the correlation with the fundamental line energy changes: the source becomes harder around the peak of the outburst and softer in both rising and decreasing phases. This correlation and transition processes during the outburst need further studies in both observations and theoretical work. The known relation of the fundamental line energy and X-ray luminosity is confirmed by our results, however, our discoveries suggest that some other factors besides luminosity play the important role in fundamental line energy variations and spectral transitions.
Article: Isolation and characterization of a novel zinc finger gene, ZNFD, activating AP1(PMA) transcriptional activities[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: ZFPs (Zinc Finger Proteins) play important roles in various cellular functions, including transcriptional activation, transcriptional repression, cell proliferation, and development. C(2)H(2) (Cys-Cys-His-His motif) ZFPs are the most abundant proteins among the founding members of the ZFP super family in eukaryotes. In this study, we isolate a novel C(2)H(2) ZNF (Zinc Finger) gene ZNFD. It contains an ORF (Open Reading Frame) with a length of 990 bp, encoding 329 amino acids. The predicted protein contains a C(2)H(2) zinc finger. RT-PCR analysis in 18 human adult tissues indicated that it was expressed in five human adult tissues. Green fluorescence protein localization analysis showed that human ZNFD was located in the nucleus of Hela cells. Overexpression of ZNFD in the COS7 cells activates the transcriptional activities of AP1(PMA) (Activator of protein 1, that responds specifically to phorbol ester). Together the data indicate that ZNFD is probably a new type of C(2)H(2) ZFP and the ZNFD protein may act as a transcriptional activator in PKC (protein kinase C) signal pathway to mediate cellular functions.

With Gambol Shroud at her side, and higher senses to aid in her defense, Blake Belladonna was without fear this time. Yang could punch things or hit them with Roman's cane, so she would be well-supported anyways. Low red rays of the rising sun found their way through the densely packed and shrouding trees, and the two young women basked in their light as they traversed the terrain.
Yang had begun scouting the lower half of Forever Fall, concentrating on the zones that the other teams had been fighting in. Using her semblance, Blake had scouted the North a few hours. There had been no signs that any other team launched an offensive campaign along the top half of the region.
So she turned back and resumed her search alongside Yang. They had found empty shells from various firearms, br

NASA: Spacewalk planned to fix space station leak
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two astronauts will make a hastily planned spacewalk Saturday to try to fix an ammonia leak in the power system of the International Space Station.
The leak in a cooling system was discovered Thursday when "snowflakes" of ammonia were seen flying away from the station. Engineers on Earth were up overnight plotting an impromptu spacewalk.
Spacewalks are rarely done on such short notice, but the space agency wanted to check out the leak before all the ammonia escaped and also to take advantage of a spacewalking crew member who is about to return home.
Officials emphasized that the six-member crew is not in danger and the outpost has plenty of power, even though the leak forced NASA to shut off the power channel from one of eight solar panels that supply electricity to the station.
It can operate fine with only seven electrical channels, space station program manager Michael Suffredini said Friday. Power from the affected panel was re-routed to the other seven systems.
Suffredini said the chief suspect for the leak is space junk hitting a cooling tube, but he said the area had a slow small leak for many years that suddenly accelerated on Thursday.
"You're talking a very, very, very small hole," Suffredini said at a NASA news conference.
NASA hopes the leak is in a small pump box. During the six-hour spacewalk on Saturday morning, U.S. astronauts Chris Cassidy and Tom Marshburn will replace the 260-pound box with a nearby spare.
While NASA has had to do impromptu spacewalks before, they haven't been done on the space station since it was completely built and operating as a finished lab, said chief flight director Norm Knight, who called the move "precedent-setting."
Station Commander Chris Hadfield of Canada told NASA flight controllers Friday that the crew is completely ready for the spacewalk.
"It's the right thing to do," he radioed down to Earth.
Hadfield tweeted that the crew was working "like clockwork" and said the two spacewalkers were already getting their spacesuits ready.
While he also described it as a "serious situation," Suffredini characterized it more as annoyance.
If the cooling system can't be fixed in Saturday's spacewalk, it can be fixed in later spacewalks, he said. And if it isn't fixed, NASA can and has operated the station fully on seven power channels, he said.
But that would leave the station little margin for error. If there are more problems, some experiments on board may have to be shut down to conserve power.
But, he said, "it's not critical from a safety standpoint."
NASA also just wants to figure out what happened. If it was space junk, that leaves a tell-tale signature, Suffredini said.
"What's causing the leak is unknown because there's a lot of plumbing underneath the box itself," NASA spokesman Rob Navias said. "We've had lots of experience in installing and replacing coolant loop hardware."
He said the repair is what NASA calls one of the "Big 12" types of emergency repair work that all spacewalking astronauts train for in advance, Navias said.
In 2009, Cassidy and Marshburn flew to the space station on the shuttle Endeavour and walked in space together to swap out a battery in the same location, so "they know this worksite inside and out," Navias said.
Marshburn, Hadfield and Russia's Roman Romanenko are set to return to Earth on Monday. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told reporters in Virginia on Friday that their return will go ahead as planned, leaving three astronauts on board.
Another reason to do the repair quickly: There may be some ammonia left which will help the spacewalkers find the leak because of the white flakes, Suffredini said.
Last fall, station instruments revealed a leak that was so small that it wasn't visible. In November, two other spacewalking astronauts tried to reroute coolant lines to bypass the tiny leak but it wasn't successful.

|Rating of our Rose 2011 by Yiannos Constantinou
8 February 2012
"Simply put, this rose is the best on the island, not only this year, but for the past 3-4 years. Vintage 2011 of this wine, which is the flagship of Zambartas Wineries, has surpassed all previous vintages in quality. The wine has a deep rose colour, and generous young and refreshing floral and fruity aroma's of rose, violets, pomegranate,cherry, strawberry and red berries.
On the palette the wine is aromatic, intensely fruity and rich for a rose, with vivid acidity that balances the overall taste and offers liveliness. A lovely rose of international class!" (Free English translation)

We really enjoyed our recent trip to Sonoma and were so glad we chose the Farmhouse Inn. The staff is gracious and helpful, and the food is amazing, especially the breakfast. The rooms were well equipped, comfortable, spotless, and lovely - we were lucky to have a barn room with an indoor/outdoor fireplace. The Inn is central to everything but still secluded enough to feel like you are in a tranquil oasis. The webiste video and photos are exactly what you experience,

Is A Second Mortgage A Worthwhile Investment?
A second property can give people a new lease of financial independence. But, it can be a good way to save for retirement. After all, having a well established portfolio and investments is a must for those that can afford it. Second mortgages and properties can be a sound investment. But, you need to ensure that you are researching your options thoroughly. After all, you want your investment to have a definite ROI.
The Buy to Let Market
Many people are turning to the buy to let market. It's a great way to ensure that the mortgage is being paid while you sit back and wait for the profits to roll in. But, you need to have a sizeable chunk of cash to make this work. What's more, your mortgage will be higher than usual if you want to go into the rental market. After all, there are taxes and fees to consider when you are renting out a second property. As long as you put these fees on top of the rent, you can see yourself sitting pretty. Of course, you need to make sure that you are not pricing yourself out of the market. Take a look at rental properties in your area and determine how much you can afford to rent your second property out for. After all, this can be a good investment all round.

How a Second Mortgage Works
Second mortgages can be a good way of ensuring that you have capital in property. You may want to ensure that you have someone living in the property too. But, you have to be careful about renting it as this can leave you susceptible to higher taxes.
When it comes to second mortgages, you have to be aware of the loan to value. This can be less if you already have a higher mortgage. A second home comes with more fees attached to it. Likewise, if you choose to have someone living in your second property, your mortgage may denote that you are not legally allowed to charge rent. Lenders will have to assess whether you can afford to buy two properties.
Property Investment Abroad
Of course, you don't have to take out a second mortgage in your home country. Australia has become a popular place for investing. Investment property in Perth and Sydney has become more attractive than ever. Often, these are considered as holiday homes for those that live in the UK. The cost of living is more in Australia than it is in the UK. But, the housing market is certainly more affordable. So, a large detached property with a swimming pool will be around £50,000 less in Oz.
When it comes to committing to a second mortgage, you need to think about what you are going to use the property for. Whether you want an additional residence, a holiday home or something to rent out, you need to consider your mortgage options.
Property has always been a good investment. A second mortgage can be an excellent investment plan for those that can afford it.

Beaverton students logging into the future
Scholls Heights Elementary is one of district's first 'Future Ready' schools
Scholls Heights Elementary School first-grader Brooklyn Klug chose a high little voice when she wanted to give words to the penguin featured on a presentation she created with one of the schools new Apple iPads.
Im a baby Emerald penguin, the voice squeaked as Brooklyn gave a gap-toothed grin.
Its cute like that one, she said, pointing to a fluffy penguin hatchling on the tablet computers screen. We got to make three penguin reports and we got to choose the one we thought was most good.
Her classmate, Ethan Ihde, decided that his own penguin report would detail the animal species in the birds diets for one simple reason: Because I wanted to have a picture of a squid.
Were laying the groundwork in the first grade, said their teacher, Karen Wold. They learn so much faster than we do.
Scholls Heights is one of the Beaverton School Districts 'Future Ready' schools launched in this pilot year. Those first 15 schools hired new library instructional technology teachers (LITTs) and committed to weaving technology more strongly into how teaching and learning happens in their buildings.
With the 2016-17 school year, the districts remaining 40 schools including traditional and options programs also will begin taking steps to adopt the Future Ready model.
Elsewhere at Scholls Heights, fifth-graders used their newly assigned Google Chromebooks for more sophisticated tasks, including research projects about explorers and salmon life cycles.
Now they have encyclopedias, they have the Internet, they have a number of resources at their fingertips, said Carrie Kunert, the schools LITT.
Ella Irving, for example, used a voice-over program to narrate the report she wrote for their Diary of a Salmon assignment. She included pictures detailing the stages of development for the fish.
Ella said having the Chromebooks at their desks for the past few weeks has been far more useful than trying to find time in the schools computer lab, which in the past was often unavailable because it was being used by other classes or students taking tests.
Theyre a lot more helpful in the classroom, she said of the new Chromebooks.
Theyre very motivated and they learn so fast, said Mehreen Krueger, Ellas teacher. Weve used many of the little gadgets here, but theyre always for a purpose.
Krueger said fifth-graders will enter middle school next year better prepared as upper grades further integrate technology with their lessons.
Its fun and I think its easier to do things with school work, said fifth-grader Claire Hansen, who is a member of the Digi-Knights, the schools technology club, which helps other Scholls Heights students learn about technology through games and robots. It can help us when were older.
The students showed off their budding technological prowess during the schools recent science fair, where parents checked out coding robots that help teach students basic programming and fiddled around in the Maker Space, where first-time engineers can solve problems, Kunert said.
At Scholls Heights, the district purchased enough Chromebooks to assign one to every fourth- and fifth-grader (and the schools parent group added money to buy enough for third-grade classrooms) while younger students share iPads.
Parents of students at Future Ready schools also can log in from home computers or smartphones to see what their children are learning. And parents who arent up on the latest tech have been invited to get a bit of tutoring of their own, Kunert said.
BSD's Future Ready rollout
Districtwide, more than 8,900 Chromebooks and about 2,200 iPads were delivered to the 15 Future Ready pilot schools in recent weeks to better bring technology into classrooms instead of the old model that largely confined computers to a lab.
The program cost about $6.5 million in equipment, new LITT positions and district-wide professional development for the 2015-16 school year, according to John Peplinski, the administrator who oversees instructional innovation.
Pending budget approvals, the district plans to continue rolling out the Future Ready program to all schools over the coming two years.
For 2016-17, the district plans to hire another 11 LITTs for the remainder of the district's traditional middle and high schools.
Also during the next year, all district students in grades eight through 12 will be assigned a Chromebook.
Additional technology will reach all schools next year, but it will be limited at lower grades. A larger rollout of Chromebooks and iPads for younger students is planned for 2017-18, Peplinski said.
Also that year, the rest of the elementary schools are expected to hire LITTs, he said.

Bob Barr's Libertarian bid for the presidency could put Georgia in play for Barack Obama, the New York Times quoted U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson as saying over the weekend.
If Barr got 8 percent, and youve got the higher African-American turnout from Barack Obama, then youd have a significantly close race in the state," the Georgia Republican told the Times in an article published Saturday.
That differs from the line of most local Republicans, who've generally pooh-poohed the potential Barr effect. But several polls have shown Obama surprsingly within 10 percent of John McCain in Georgia, and Barr with support as high as 8 percent presumably drawn from libertarian-leaning conservatives who'd otherwise back McCain.
Barr, a former uber-conservative congressman from the north Atlanta 'burbs (who gained true fame as a Creative Loafing columnist), was dissed by Bush, Rove and the Republican establishment during redistricting earlier this decade when he was lumped into an unfriendly district dominated by a more lockstep party mate. He doesn't seem to bothered by the prospect of harming McCain's chances:
Well, gee, you might take votes from Senator McCain, Mr. Barr said this week, mimicking one of the complainers, as he sat sipping Coca-Cola in his plush corner office, 12 stories above Atlanta. They all said, Look, we understand why youre doing this. We agree with why youre doing it. But please dont do it.

"SNL" took several different swipes at the Petraeus scandal on Saturday's Jeremy Renner-helmed episode, including spoofing Paula Broadwell in the cold open, and Seth Meyer's winners and losers segment on Weekend Update.
But the ensemble reserved a heavy does of snark for CNN's coverage of the scandal as well, mocking "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." The sketch sees Jason Sudeikis as Blitzer, showing the same footage of Jill Kelley leaving her apartment over and over again, as he struggles to report breaking news that isn't exactly breaking.

Public lands are held in trust and managed for the people by federal, state, and local government agencies. They go by a variety of names, including parks, monuments, historic sites, seashores, battlefields, forests, wilderness areas, refuges or grasslands. Public lands are part of our collective natural and cultural heritage, and everyone derives benefit from them. They provide outdoor recreation, wildlife habitat, wilderness experiences, and opportunities for learning about our history and cultures.
The majority of public lands in the United States are held by the federal government and managed by the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Bureau of Reclamation, or the Fish and Wildlife Service under the Department of the Interior, or the U.S. Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture. Other federal agencies that manage public lands include the United States Department of Defense, which includes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
All of these are terms for nonprofit organizations that support public lands in a variety of ways.
A cooperating association is defined as an organization working in partnership with a public lands agency to provide interpretive and educational services to the public; and to support the educational outreach and research activities of the agency. This is accomplished through bookstore sales, membership support, book and publication development, research funding and other educational programs and activities. The term is used by the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The term is synonymous with interpretive association, used by the U.S. Forest Service. Some state park systems use these terms as well. Cooperating/interpretive associations are diverse in their scope, ranging from those with a single sales facility to many outlets, and from working with one government agency to many.
Friends Groups are nonprofit organizations that partner with public lands agencies to accomplish activities that typically benefit a specific park or public lands area. Groups vary in size, structure, and purpose and perform services that may include providing volunteer support, assisting with resource management and preservation, conducting fundraising efforts, and publicizing important issues. Funding to support the activities of the group come from donations, and often to a lesser extent, earned income.
While some friends groups also function as cooperating associations, the two terms are not interchangeable, as the authority to operating interpretive sales outlets on public lands is governed by specific agreements and authorities. Likewise, the ability of a nonprofit organization to raise funds in support of parks and public lands is also governed by specific agreements with their public lands agency partners.
Yes, many national, regional and local organizations also support public lands in a variety of ways. These include natural, cultural and historic preservation groups; conservation organizations; educational organizations; field institutes or field schools; trails groups; recreational organizations; youth service organizations; professional societies and advocacy groups.
Nonprofit organizations that are site-specific and have a partnership agreement with one or more public lands agencies may apply to join APPL as nonprofit members. Those nonprofit organizations that are national or regional in scope and have a mission consistent with that of APPL, may join our association as Nonprofit Allies. For additional information on APPL membership, click here.
Where can I find more information about starting or expanding our cooperating association, interpretive association, friends group, or other like-mission nonprofit on federal public lands?
APPL provides a wealth of information to its member organizations through our Listserv, educational programs and resources, and our annual partnership convention and trade show. To learn more about APPL membership, click here. To learn about this year's convention, click here.
Federal nonprofit agencies also have their own partnership resources and Websites that provide information for nonprofit organizations. For further information on each of these agencys and their partnership Web sites, please visit the following:
- Bureau of Land Management: For more information on forming a partnership with BLM, visit the BLM Partnership Web page.
- National Park Service: For information on the establishment and management of cooperating associations, click here. To learn how to establish or enhance an NPS friends organization, click here.
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: Visit the Partnerships section of the Corps' National Resource Management Gateway.
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: For information on starting a refuge friends group, click here.
- U.S. Forest Service: The Partnership Resource Center, a joint project of the USDA Forest Service and the National Forest Foundation, contains a wealth of information and resources regarding partnerships.
Can businesses provide services on public lands?
Yes, public lands agencies contract with commercial service operators, typically known as concessioners or lessees, to provide necessary and/or appropriate visitor services such as food, lodging, recreational services and retail operations.

But l am thinking whether the blog will attract more people, especially from those who are not so familiar with us? Maybe it is another story from RSS.

This paper reviews a major disk-drive product development effort in IBM during the 1950s, one that was originally based on perpendicular recording. The goal of the project, identified as the Advanced Disk File (ADF), was to develop the successor to the first disk drive, the Random Access Method of Accounting and Control (RAMAC) 350. The ADF eventually became the IBM 1301, the first disk drive to use a flying head per surface. Whereas the RAMAC used longitudinal recording, the ADF project chose perpendicular recording as the mainstream recording technology for magnetic disk data storage and continued on this path for a period of five years. A crisis arose in the later stages of prototype testing due to unacceptable failure rates; one decision made was to change the recording method from perpendicular back to longitudinal. The reasons for the original selection of perpendicular and the subsequent return to longitudinal recording are described and address technology, product, and business issues. General observations on factors influencing the choices made and the final outcome are offered as well as the long-term impact of these events on the disk-drive industry.

Celebrity Pictures in Designer Jeans
Hilary Duff in Ksubi
Hilary Duff really seems to love this season's colored denim trend. She's worn J Brand's Bright Royal skinnies and now she's wearing a pair of Ksubi bright yellow low rise skinny jeans. She paired them with white pumps and a tee, adding splashes of color with her pink Balenciaga bag and red lipstick!
Hilary and husband Mike Comrie will be celebrating their first wedding anniversary this August. Hilary recently returned from spending time in Canada with Mike's family and tweeted, "Whew! Weekend filled with fun in Edmonton with all of Mike's fam! Which is mine too now! Kids so freaking cute we want to just take em all home!" I wonder if kids will soon be on the horizon for them? You can buy Ksubi Jeans at Net-A-Porter.com.

Gerard Bulter in PRPS
Gerard Bulter was seen heading to a local Italian restaurant in LA and stopped to wave at the paparazzi. The previous day, Gerard attended the launch of A Ring to Educate a Child in Haiti, a fundraiser to raise money for schools in Haiti. It's good to see that even so long after the earthquake, people are still raising money for Haiti.
In my opinion, Gerard is one male celeb that we usually see in a variety of different denim brands. He's worn Levi's, Citizens, J Brand and PRPS. This time he wore a pair of his PRPS jeans and a tee shirt.
Frida Gustavsson in Pudel and Chanel for Contributor Magazine
There is something about this editorial that attracts me. I don't know what it is specifically. Maybe the grittiness or the apocalyptic feel of it? I know for sure that there is some great denim involved.
In the racy editorial, model Frida Gustavsson wears some studded Chanel denim shorts (check below) and a really cool tie-dye pair from Pudel (above) for Contributor Magazine. Doesn't Frida in some way resemble Lady GaGa in the photo above? She is such a chameleon and so beautiful. She makes me think of Edie Sedgwick with her features, like the beauty mark on her cheek. I think she is one of the new crop that is not just a pretty face. I can actually see her in a spread like this. You can click here to see the full editorial yourself.
Danelle Leverett in BleuLab
Danelle Leverett was spotted attending the CMT Awards over the weekend with her band The JaneDear Girls. She wore a pair of the BleuLab Detour Legging in French Chalk with Champagne coating.
I love that Bleulab has ventured into color with their waxing. We usually only see the black or gray tones, but they have come out with some waxed blues and purples that are really great. You can click here to purchase BleuLab jeans at Singer22.

Payne joins Lady Colonels staff
Published: Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 10:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 10:11 a.m.
THIBODAUX -- Former Nicholls State men's basketball player Justin Payne joined the collegiate coaching ranks with the women's squad,on Wednesday.
"Justin brings a wealth of knowledge to the game from a point guard's mentality. He has been a blessing in many ways, and Justin is definitely one of the rising young stars in the coaching ranks," Lady Colonels coach DoBee Plaisance. "Between his faith and constant work ethic, Justin is destined to be one of the future great coaches from our area."
Payne led the men's squad to its best overall record, 20-11, in the last ten years, and best season under Colonels coach J.P. Piper. The Colonels closed out their season in the Southland Conference Tournament. Payne, a product of Opelousas, was a three-year starter at point guard, and lettered four seasons from 2005-06 to 2008-09.
The 22-year old is joining the staff as a graduate assistant while at Nicholls working with women's basketball, and resides in Thibodaux.

Guests can connect to free WiFi and there are ample electrical outlets throughout the lobby to power digital devices.

"Hope for the American father."
Counter intuitive & interesting
It is all memorable, I keep discussing it with my wife!
Well done, loved the accents :-)
With everyone over the age of 40 telling me that you entire world will change with kids I find this book comforting. Though a child may change things, it does not have to mean the end of your world, but rather an addition to it. This book gives me hope for a well behaved sage kid.
"Grounding the helicopteres"
The parenting advice is common sense and not necessarily French. This brings up the question of just what is the deal with the U.S. helicopter parents (as opposed to all U.S. parents), but that is not really explored. 4 stars overall because there is a somewhat funny story with cute kids and the advice could definitely help families who are somehow not getting it otherwise.
Considering that the book is presumably for Francophiles, the narrator's French pronunciation is pretty bad (e.g. "Nouvelle vague" said "vayg" instead of "vog") unless the idea is to sound like the author who spoke bad French, in which case the performance is excellent. But the author's personality is irritating enough with her neurotic cluelessness; one does not need to add in special effects to amplify that.
"My experience almost exactly"
Having raised my son part time in France and part time in Los Angeles, I agree with almost everything in the book. He was never in a creche but he was in school on both continents every year, took part in la classe verte, went to camp in Switzerland and grew up totally bi-lingual and bi-cultural. After college in the US and Grad School in France he entered the field of International Aid and Development and has lived all over the world. Now that he has his own child, it remains to be seen what, if any, culture he will choose to raise his own child.
My general attitude of "hell is other peoples children" only seemed to apply in the US as I generally found French children totally engaging.
Maybe "child rearing" should be added to "food" on the list of French stuff we should embrace and emulate.
Professional librarian type, amateur historian.
"Another way to learn about French Culture"
On the surface this is a book comparing American vs French pregnancy and child rearing. In another way it is a book exploring aspects of French culture through children. The biggest thing I walked away with was the importance of the "Bon Jour" in French culture and a willingness to try making yogurt cake (so easy French children make it). There were aspects of the book that I found annoying. The author expresses self doubt and keeps going on about a need to 'mirror'. To me it sounds like a whiny American. Ignoring that there are several gems and insights in the book about the French, particularly French women, Anglophone women, and attitudes towards children and food.
"Very worthwhile and entertaining"
I wish I heard the book when my kids were smaller! I would highly recommend it to parents of young children.
I'm a twenty-something lit nerd who enjoys Romance, Fantasy and YA Fiction. I like strong female heroes and entertaining readers.
"Everyone is a better parent than you are"
Pamela Druckerman lived in France. She saw French parents doing a better job than she was and wrote a book about it.
According to Druckerman, French babies are treated like little adults and that is what makes the French wiser and better parents.
I have no children. I did full time nanny work for about two years and lived with and cared for children, but I feel like it's important to point out that I myself am not a parent.
This is an attractive book because it portrays a sort of secret code to getting your child to sleep through the night, eat their food and not to be hellions to other people.
Yet, really, its the culture and the social programs in place that seem to make the biggest difference. Americans are never going to take up the ideas of French parenting because culturally we are so different. In short? It seems to me like the whole book is a kind of utopian fairytale. Great for France, but not so applicable to America.
"A novel about being a woman in france"
People who like novels about women - going to work, meeting people, experiencing culture shock in another country, dieting and so forth might like this book...oh, I'm sorry -- was this supposed to be a book about children? Yes, there is a small bit of informal information about kids- it is not researched, it is always just things she sees and hears from her friends. But there is so very little of that kind of information it seems almost knitpicky to scrutinize its quality. This is a book about this woman living in France and her personal feelings about random stuff- mostly involving getting used to living in France with her daughter Bean- that is not a typo- I listened to her say that name hundreds of times- slow-mo and fast forwards and every single time she says Bean- so either the narrator has it wrong or the cover is a typo
There is also a strong emphasis on teaching the language and culture of France. These lessons fall equally into two convenient categories: Obvious and Irrelevant
I can't believe I let myself listen to seven full hours before I decided that she had nothing to say on the actual subject of her book.
I like books about raising kids- maybe one day she can write one of those and keep her personal life stories out of it- and she should source her material like a grown up professional who writes based on research
For the most part she was acceptable except the long spans in which she spoke with a thick French accent even if quoting a written article- I think she was just looking for an excuse to sound bad- It was hard enough to get through this book without having to rewind bits to figure out what she's saying
I would cut her personal stories but then the book would be ten pages long. Again this is a lot more about her personal stories than it is about education and very little has anything to do with children
So here is her advice:
-Let babies cry for five or ten minutes before tending to them- so they might comfort themselves.
-When children over four demand attention, politely tell them to wait a moment
-low carb diets work and can make you as pretty as the women in Paris
-The day cares in France are awesome
- France is a great place
The rest is all filler
I've been researching and studying Child Discipline and Parenting for 6 years, and this was the most refreshing "parenting" book I've ever read, hands down. I have a feeling it will always be my favorite! Intriguing, honest, permissible and comforting. Exactly what American parents need to hear.
"A new dad review..."
Know that...
- This is a story more than a child manual.
- It's ONE woman's first hand experience in raising a family in Paris; in comparison to NYC.
- It has some very insightful methods for bringing up a more patient & respectful child.
- It is worth listen to know how France is doing it.
"Good, but felt a bit lacking."
There were a few things in this book that I found very useful as a parent. However, I had already read those things in the reviews. Sure, it helped to drive home a few important concepts, but overall, I was expecting more. I was more interested in a practical parenting book, and less interested in her life story. It kind of felt as though she was just trying to show off, or brag, most of the time.
