Great way to see the city. We were a family of 4 with teenage children who also enjoyed seeing the city this way. Although it was hot, there were opportunities to purchase water along the way. Very informative guide who was bubbly and knowledgeable. Have already recommended to friends.

Looking to add another strong season to its legacy, the Greenback girls' tennis team takes to the courts for 2012 with 15 girls on the roster. Comprised of four freshmen, seven sophomores, and four juniors, the Lady Greenbacks will be young, yet enjoy a returning core of varsity-tested players.
With no seniors on the roster, the reins of leadership will be in the hands of junior tri-captains Adele Loomis, Lauren McClain, and Dani Williams. All three have two years of varsity experience with Adele and Dani going deep in last year's post-season and Lauren qualifying for the state tournament her freshman and sophomore years. Rounding out the juniors, Taylor Moreland adds her experience to the junior varsity.
"It's pretty exciting knowing that half of our varsity is made up of competition-tested players…and they're just juniors," reflected head coach Larry Kahmeyer. "Knowing we won't lose anybody to graduation is a coach's dream. We've got to round out the second half of the varsity, but we've got seven strong sophomores who can jump in any time."
Paced by Jade Hoover, who will join Loomis, McClain and Williams on varsity, fellow sophomores Ellie Brehm, Alicia Hall, Elee Hampton, Madi Mayberry, Delaney Skaggs and Anna Stryker are vying for the remaining positions.
Summing up the sophomores, Kahmeyer said, "These seven are a great group of girls. Most worked very hard in the summer and have improved greatly since last year. They are all very evenly matched in ability and almost any one of them can win on any given day so it will be interesting to see how things play out. With seven girls competing for three spots, there will be some challenges and frustrations. We've got a lot of options and combinations with which to experiment and that's a great problem to have."
Joining the squad for the first time are freshmen Lizzie Amaro, Hazen Hance, Eadie Monaghan and Cassie Van Slyke.
"This freshmen group is very promising," said Kahmeyer. "They are way ahead of where most girls are when they are joining the team. Hazen, Eadie, and Cassie played some over the summer and Lizzie brings some volleyball experience giving her a head start. All four are improving daily and it'll be fun watching these girls' skills develop over the season."
Assisting Kahmeyer will be coach Tate Thompson, now in his fourth year, and team managers Shivam Bhakta, sr., and Liam Kahmeyer, jr.
The varsity will see its first action at Lyons on Thursday. Opening its season, the junior varsity will host an invitational on Tuesday, August 28 while the varsity travels to Hillsboro.

This will be my third MIX conference - but the first time as a Microsoft employee and honestly it is truly one of the best in the industry. Everybody is feeling the recession - but like you - many of us are finding a way to cut in other areas to make to Vegas. MIX09 is the really to me the premier web developmet conference - by developers and for developers. Microsoft typically has something up its sleeve to announce that even employees like me are not aware of. For those great partners who we work with in the Communication and Media sector - look forward to learning, socializing and just enjoying the new technology. I would not be surprised if there was some mention of Internet Explorer 8 and the partners who have embraced this technology and likely a few sessions on Silverlight.
Don't forget to visit the keynotes each morning - you will want to get there early- even though the room is enormous - it fills up quickly.

Chicago police officer accused of gay harassment

Cop Homophobes, Gays have had to enjure their kind for too long. Well, we can fight back now! Root them out and give them a taste of their own medicine.
One would think Jay …. but ….
NORTHFIELD – The city prosecutor admitted Wednesday she had no case against a Somers Point man who had been charged with drunken driving even though he registered a blood-alcohol reading of 0.00 percent.
Michele Verno dropped both the DUI charge and a reckless driving charge against Tyrone Foxworth on Wednesday in municipal court, saying she could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Afterward, Foxworth, a black man who in 2003 led a rally against racial profiling in Linwood, and attorney Justin Laughry questioned whether race was a factor in the initial arrest.
"It's a question in our minds," said Laughry, "and we have to reflect on it."
It was about 3 a.m. Nov. 27, Thanksgiving morning, when Foxworth approached a DUI checkpoint along Shore Road while driving with two friends.
Verno told Judge Matthew Powals that standard procedure at such checkpoints is for every fifth vehicle to be flagged and pulled over.
"I felt as though the stop was arbitrary," Foxworth said Wednesday, "although I agree that there are procedures and practices they're supposed to follow."
When asked by police if he had been drinking, Foxworth said he answered no. He was then asked to perform a sobriety "balance" test, he said, after which he was placed under arrest for drunken driving. A Breathalyzer test, however, resulted in a blood-alcohol reading of 0.00 percent.
It was unclear whether it was alcohol or drug use that was initially suspected by police, however. Laughry said one of the passengers may have been drinking – leading to an the odor of alcohol in the car – while the arrest report by Officer Kristina Ramsi states that Foxworth was suspected of being "under the influence of alcohol/drugs."
Northfield police Chief Robert James said only that there was a "suspicion of intoxication."
"I don't want to say alcohol or narcotics," James said Wednesday.
Foxworth denies using either drugs or alcohol that night. In any event, there could be no evaluation of drug use anyway, since there was no drug-recognition expert available at the time of the arrest.
"It was a multijurisdictionalDUI checkpoint," James said. "Officers for several departments were involved. We followed procedure and followed the guidance of the legal adviser on call that weekend."
Foxworth, James said, "was in one of the last cars to go through the checkpoint." Northfield does not have its own drug-recognition expert, he said, and the department had been "utilizing an officer from another agency that had already been released for the night. We were unable to locate (another) one."
No blood or urine was taken for testing, Verno told the court – "And even if they had a drug-recognition expert, I doubt they would have," Laughry said.
The reckless driving charge was tied directly to the DUI charge, and Powals made sure to enter into the court record that there was "no observed improper behavior" on Foxworth's part.
"They didn't pull him over because he was doing anything wrong," Powals said. "It was random."
Foxworth was one of four people to be charged with DUI that night at the checkpoint, which had been featured in a Dec. 1 story in The Press of Atlantic City examining the effectiveness of such stops.
"I presume that their endgame required me to at least get an attorney to get to the bottom of this," Foxworth said of why he believed the charges were not dropped earlier. "I'll be reviewing my options with my attorney how to proceed with regard to whether my constitutional rights were violated."

text: Posted May 26, 2013 the entire offense was designed around getting the ball out of his hands as fast as possible. admittedly i'm not a professional but i saw a lot of one read concepts in washington's offense. the notion that he's sitting back there in the pocket picking apart defenses like brady is ESPN bullshit. You haven't been watching much. First off, he doesn't have the type of offensive line that he can sit back in the pocket like Brady or Manning. Not even close to that kind of OL. (our RT rated as the worst in the NFL last year) Secondly, here are a few plays I can gather where you can see him going over the reads. You can see his head turning. The last one in particular because Santana Moss is a third option on the squad last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

China to Stockpile Local Soybeans to Help Farmers, Agency Says
China, the world's biggest soybean consumer, will stockpile domestically harvested soy to help growers sell the crop, the State Administration of Grain said.
The government will buy from farmers in the northeast provinces at 4,000 yuan ($627) a metric ton from Nov. 23 to April 30, according to a circular on the website of the grain bureau, which manages the nation's grain market. The government won't limit the amount to be stockpiled, the circular said.
"The move, while long expected, still gives a lift to the market sagging from negative sentiment," Cao Yanhui, a research manager at Guoxin Futures Co., said by phone from Dalian. Farmers will probably accept the price and the government may buy about 4 million to 5 million tons, she said.
Soybeans for January delivery jumped as much as 1.9 percent to $11.25 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade today and were at $11.24 a bushel at 5:27 p.m. Beijing time. Futures have slumped 7.8 percent this month on concerns the European debt crisis will curb global economic growth and curb demand for commodities.
Stockpiling the beans will probably boost imports temporarily because it shifts local supply to a later date, Cao said. China still has reserves of 4 million to 5 million tons of domestic beans stored in 2008 that must be sold in the first half of next year, countering the impact of stockpiling, analyst Monica Tu at Shanghai JC Intelligence Co. said in an interview last week.

We have some Public Folders containing Calendars, that were originally set up using Kerio. We've since migrated to Exchange (2010 SP1), and are in the process of recreating some of the systems we had in place. For the most part, we're flexible, and aren't tied to any one system, but would like to have things tied together nicely.
The mail migration is going smoothly, but Macs can't tie into Public Folder Calendars because microsoft insists on using ASPX pages instead of iCal style calendars. We've successfully gotten Sharepoint Calendars made that (with the help of MashPoint) can be viewed as read-only on Macs and iPhones, but it's a lame "solution".
We would prefer to use just Exchange, as we intend to do room booking thru the "Room Mailbox" system that Exchange supports (of which a skeletal system is in place that works for the most part).
Sharepoint can't just glom data from an Exchange calendar natively, you have to jump through hoops and export ICSes, and then import them into Sharepoint. It isn't live. You need to roll over to Sharepoint, and then use that from then on, which would abandon our scheduling system, or have two sets of different calendars...
Does anyone have a good system for dealing with this? We can't be the only campus using Macs on desks with Exchange (and/or Sharepoint) on the backend.

An Open Letter to the Waving Inflatable Snowman.
Stop it. Stop waving. It's deficient and floppy and annoying. I can't imagine how tired you must be. You wave to people all day, don't you? Just watching your hand rise and fall so fast makes me want to stick my own in a tub of ice—and it's cold outside.
Aren't you cold? Your elf friend lies helpless and deflated, face down in the snow. Surely he is cold. Perhaps you should stop waving and use your hands to lift him up again. But you're waving! Waving! Is this pageantry? Is this dictatorship? What is this?
It's not even a solid wave. And I don't know why you wave so much, anyway. Don't you know people have learned to ignore you? How does your arm even bend like that? Don't you have joints? Your waving arm looks as if it's being sliced into and reconfigured every two seconds. I suppose after having waved to so many passersby, this is what waving becomes.
Actually, I would like to amend my request. Don't just stop waving. Stop smiling, too. Don't you know every normal snowman melts when it gets warm again? They thrive on temperature, and you thrive on moods! Spirit! Excitement! Temperature isn't so predictable either, you say? Sure, sure… but if you want to be genuine, just don't seem so unconditionally happy! Your appeal is lost in conditions quickly.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't be so hard on you. What can you do? The real snowman, like you, perches awkwardly on the edge of a medium-size yard of a medium-size suburban home in a medium-size suburb, waving to medium-size SUVs full of medium-size people going to medium-size jobs, but it can change. It has its quirks, if it wants. You didn't want to be factory made. You didn't want to be sewn together, methodically, from fourths and eighths into a whole. You didn't want to be exactly like the inflatable waving snowman two houses down the street, did you?
Sometimes I want to stop the car and reform you, give you some originality. If you weren't plastic and air-filled, I would give you other things to hold: not a candy cane or a present, but maybe a toothbrush or an instrument. Also, do you ever pick your nose? I would give you the opportunity to pick your nose, or the ability to share an offensive gesture with the world that will have you stuffed in a box for eleven months out of the year. At least without a box, you would rip or collect dust with time. Anything to be different.
Respectfully yours,
Catherine Jessee

Despite the 11% decline in total revenues over the last one year, the continuous improvement in Chevron Corporation's (CVX) refinery margins, shale gas exploration in China, spending on lucrative projects in the Gulf of Mexico, and Australian LNG, make it a good buy.
It is trading at a multiple of 9.3x to its forward earnings, which is in line with the industry average of 9.5x. The company is planning to capitalize its excessive cash of $21 billion to bring growth through inorganic channels. The recent milestones in its upstream business operations, including the starting of the deepwater Rosebank Project in the United Kingdom, 80% acquisition in the Rovi and Sarta blocks in Iraq, and the announcement of natural gas recovery in Australia, are all critical positive signs. Chevron's good performance is reflected in the 10% increase in its bottom line due to the improvement in refinery margins.
The company's payout ratio of 25% is higher than the industry average of 12.3%. Its dividend yield of 3.1%, along with the strong growth prospects, makes it a good stock for investors.
Due to the lower tax benefits on the Australian LNG and the Gulf of Mexico projects, CVX has enjoyed the highest cash flow margins among its competitors in the Oil and Gas Industry. We believe that going forward the company's margins will expand further, through the lower maintenance expenditure required for longer-living assets. The company has the potential to achieve further economies of scale and register growth through the Tengiz debottlenecking, shale in North America, and Kuwait projects.
The company has collaborated with Argentine's YPF Sociedad Anonima (ADR) for production, development and exploration of shale gas and oil reserves. It has won a bid in Ukraine for shale gas exploration. Moreover, as the map given below depicts, it has increased the exploration and extraction of oil through unconventional wells. This increase is witnessed because of the scarcity of oil reserves through conventional channels. We believe the consistent exploration efforts and the taking up of several projects in the upstream business segment will reflect in the stock price in 1H2013.

Upstream Business Segment
The major proportion of revenues (77%) is coming from the upstream business segment. In its upstream business of exploration and development, the company produced 2.62 million bpd of oil in the second quarter of 2012, slightly lower than the 2.69 million bpd in Q2 2011. The company is ramping up projects in Nigeria, the U.S. and Thailand, which will enable it to produce significant quantities of oil. Its average selling price of natural gas was $2.1 per thousand cubic feet, in contrast to $4.35 in the same quarter last year. The average selling price of crude oil was $97 per barrel, in contrast to $104 per barrel in the second quarter of the last year. Moreover, the company's earnings from international upstream operations are $4.3 billion in Q2, which declined by $619 million over the last one year. This decrease is witnessed mainly because of the low realization of crude oil, and an increase in exploration expenses. In its upstream business operations, the company is generating around 76% of revenues from non-U.S. markets.
Downstream Business Segment
Chevron has registered a 42% increase in its downstream business segment in the last one year. The input of crude oil refinery has considerably increased by 53,000 barrels per day over the last one year. Branded gasoline sales improved by 2%, whereas refinery product sales remained flat between Q2 2011 and Q2 2012. The company's earnings from international downstream business operations have significantly increased from $480 million in the second quarter of 2011 to $1.08 billion in the last quarter.
Price Appreciation
In our peer group analysis, Exxon Corporation (NYSE:XOM) and CVX are the two stocks that showed an upside of around 7% in the last 6 months, as reflected in the graph given above. CVX's 50-days' and 200-days' moving averages are $112.3 and $106.3, respectively. Around 64% of the company's shares are held by institutional investors. The company's initiatives and growing demand in the coming years will help the stock show a significant upside in the coming years.
Direct Competitor Comparison
Chevron Corporation
Exxon Corporation
Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE:MRO)
British Petroleum (NYSE:BP)
Forward P/E (2013)
The stock is currently trading at 9.3x its forward earnings, at a discount when compared to Exxon Corporation's forward P/E of 11.3x. It is trading at par with Marathon Oil Corporation 's forward P/E of 9.3x. Both Chevron and Exxon are valuable stocks to consider, due to their high growth prospects and relatively cheap valuations.

Tuition & Financial Aid:
I wish it could be a little less for tuition.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
From a lot of hard work and studying. I learned in my first class that your own drive and dedication is the key to your success in any venture you take in life.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The tuition is well worth it. I learn a lot every day. It was pretty east to finish the financial aid process. The FAFSA took forever to go through though. Which wasn't the school's fault. The FAFSA needs to be finished early on. They provide some easy to get grants and scholarships so just ask the financial aid representatives for help.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I believe that the education that I am receiving is great, and going through the process of financial aid was really easy, because someone was there to help me every step of the way.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
If you are a Vet its worth it because you are more out to find a job. Financial aid has been complicated at times but not because of the school. I feel the Tuition is fair I have check other culinary schools and they are way more. I feel the education is worth the tuition. My tip to financial aid is sta on it with Fafsa and get them done. Then email the financial aid office or call to just let them know you are done doing it.

I have a wordpress based website using the Graphene theme. Recently, I have discovered small text adverts for diabetes websites at the very bottom of my page. I suspect it may be due to a plugin of some sort but deactivating them has not got rid of the adverts.
Can anyone help to point me in the right direction in order to remove these adverts? I can't find the code in any of the PHP files (yet!).
Scroll to the very bottom of http://www.samsface.co.uk if you want to see what I mean!

Recently something went wrong with my external WD passport. It is not accesible anymore in Win 7 and the type is now currently RAW. I recovered all the data so formatting it is no issue.
I tried formatting it with windows but it seems to be unable to do so. Does anyone have any suggestions how I am able to get this RAW drive back to NTFS or FAT or whatever.. as long as it works.
Thank you in advance

Friend Friday: Did you really wear that?
This week's Friend Friday* subject is a bit of a mixed bag—one part blending blog and work wear, one part blog wear reality check. In introducing this week's topic, Katy wrote:
…how many times have you looked at a post and thought the blogger was adorable but probably wore the outfit only to take pictures and post to the blog?
My immediate response is: never. I don't really care whether someone wore an outfit featured in a blog post in reality or not. The only thing that pops in my head is whether I like the outfit or not. And the overall photography and effect. But on to the questions…
When it comes to outfit posts on your own blog, be honest, are they what you actually wore that day?
Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. I don't promise anything on my blog in terms of fashion; the only thing I will say is that the pieces I wear on my blog are indeed from my closet—they are not costumes. I have worn everything photographed on my blog in real life, in some manifestation or another, at some point. I tend to dress on the edge a bit—it's not just blog fodder.
Below is a menagerie of ensembles I actually wore—shopping, to church, to the movies, to my car dealership (and even to the doctor)—on the day I shot the photo.
Can you guess what I wore where?**
If you're so inclined, answers appear below.
For a fashion blogger, working in a corporate environment can be tricky. How do you mesh your day job with your personal style choices?
I did a whole post on this after I was asked a question on Formspring about whether I dress more conservatively for work, and then a commenter asked for tips on office dresssing. To read my philosophy on work wear and my strategies for blending work wear/blog wear/casual wear, see Worker V 1.1 (+ My Office Wear Strategy). Check back soon for a Worker V post that specifically addresses remixing components of outfits I've worn on the blog for the office.
Oh, and by the way, I just discovered the bloody Formspring link in my post footer was broken. Sheesh. It's fixed now, so feel free to use it!
When you get dressed in the morning, do you think what should I wear to work or what should I wear for the blog?
If I'm going into the office, I am only concerned about my appearance there. It takes precedence. When I shoot office wear for the blog, I do it at the end of the day, when I get home from work. If I'm at home and just want to shoot some fun stuff for the blog, only then do I think, what should I wear for the blog?
Do professionals you interact with ever make comments about your clothing choices?
Yes, all the time. They are usually compliments, or people ask where I purchased a particular piece. There is a lovely South American woman in my work commissary that calls me "elegant lady" in her fantastic accent, every time I see her, without fail. I adore her. And the cashiers in my work cafeteria regularly peek over the counter to check out my shoes and comment on them. That happened just yesterday, in fact. What's not to love? It makes me smile and I try to be gracious and appreciative.
Some bloggers openly admit to wearing outfits only for the blog post. What's your opinion on that?
I occasionally wear something just for a blog photo shoot, but as I wrote above, everything I wear I've worn before, in my personal life. And again, I could care less whether someone plays dress up for their blog or not. If I like it, I like it.
As far as my blog goes, it is a creative outlet for me, first and foremost; I don't feel compelled to follow any rules other than to be true to myself. If I started posting what I wear when I'm sitting around watching TV, I'm pretty sure I'd lose all my readers, stat. The blogs I find most compelling are not the girl-next-door-shoots-a-photo-in-the-middle-of-her-street-with-the-same-cutesy-mouth-slightly-agape-look. I've never subscribed to saccharine, cheerleader-type normality. I'm far more interested in shoots of the Vogue Gone Rogue ilk, or really creative (and quirky) mixups of trends and everyday wear, like on Style of a Fashionista and Beckerman Bite Plate. I want to be inspired, stimulated, even provoked. I read a variety of blogs, but the ones I love most are daring, intelligent, and sarcastic.
For me, fashion blogs are largely entertainment. And to some degree, they must be entertainment for you as well since (interestingly enough), my two most commented posts are also a couple of my most OTT looks…funny, that…
*The Friend Friday project by Modly Chic is a way for bloggers to share more about themselves and create a friendly connection with other bloggers. Katy of Modly Chic sends us questions weekly, and we answer on our blogs.
**Answers to what I wore, where:
- Shopping, minus the trench.
- To church.
- A lace dress for a doctor appointment…oh yes I did.
- Shopping, my outfit for the day. One of my faves.
- To church.
- Shopping, and no, I'm not kidding. I wore a bikini cover up over a bikini top and leggings—to the mall.
- To the car dealership for a service.
- To see Sex and the City 2 with a gal pal.

Love this post, also agree that when I look at outfit posts i don't really think about whether they really wear it or not, who cares? They're expressing themselves creatively and stylishly!
Your wardrobe must be bursting from work-wear and fashion bits! Still madly in love with the convertible frock and grey jumpsuit! smokin' darling!
Have yourself a top weekend!
ps NEXT ship to US in 2 biz days – i thought there were actual stores, but couldn't locate them, so here's the link instead:
My adorable V, thanks a lot for remembering my request, but as most things in life they sort themselves out while we worry sick about them. Blogspot has made some changes automatically that iproves them and offers bigger pictures, so I am ok with the way my blog looks at the moment. Thanks anyway for being there and always so caring.
I love you in colour, perphaps because I love colour…he, he.
You are so wise and so thorough that I have nothing more to say.
Great answers to the questions girl! Love your honesty!
As usual, I agree with all you've said here! I dress up for me, not for the blog. If I'm wearing something that I feel like sharing, I take a few pictures before going out. The first thing I think of when I'm getting ready is, "Is this weather-appropriate?" and, like you, I don't ever wonder why or where a blogger is wearing their outfit. I just appreciate it for what it is! 🙂
Wonderful! I liked reading this.
V. I completely adore you. I have to admit that I do wonder if people wore things on their blog out for shopping or to work, etc. mainly because I am curious how they negotiate a day of standing on super tall heels or if they could bike in a pencil skirt to their campus or office job, and I wonder because I am constantly inspired by the blogs that I read (and there are a great variety of them) so I'd like to know if their outfits were as successful in real life as they are on their blogs.
I want to ask, though, were you clothes shopping in the bikini and cover up? I ask because I often feel that if I don't wear an actual bra while shopping I don't necessarily get a real sense of how something will fit me up top. I'm wondering if you felt like that was an issue.
I enjoyed the post. The Q&A and photos were both awesome. I hope this finds you doing well., Take care. Enjoy the weekend.
Enjoyed matching the pictures to the event – got to find some time to work through more of the backlog of your fab outfit posts but this was a nice selection to start off with!
I love your answers.
Whenever my post goes up you'll see that I mostly agree. I get annoyed if a blogger presents themself as someone who takes photos of what they wore that day, but really didn't wear that outfit.
I totally understand getting dressed up, taking photos and posting them, even if you didn't really wear it out, but at least be honest about it. I'd rather see someone say "I love my outfit, I took the photos today, but didn't have to go anywhere in it." Than to have someone lie about where they wore it.
But, then again, as you point out, who cares? If it's your blog, you can do whatever you want. So maybe it shouldn't be an issue…
Wonderful answers as always. I loved the collages that gave a peak at where you wore what.
It was nice reading your answers!
I agree with you, it doesn't matter if the outfit is only for photos or if the blogger actually wears the outfit out. It is just expression of individual expression and inspiration. All in all, I LOVE all of your WVW posts, keep it up babe. LOVE always, Jemina (((HUGS HUGS HUGS)))
I admire your honesty. I like that every time I come to this blog and I see an outfit post that I can so tell that it's truly what you wore.
Great answers, and I agree, the way to my heart is also through inspirational oddity and sarcasm… 🙂
I'm glad you broached the did-you-really-wear-that topic, as I don't really care when I'm reading my favorite blogs but as someone considering venturing in the already oversaturated realm of the outfit post, it's definitely something to think about.
And I'm crushing on outfit #1, trench included!
I agree with you totally on this. I prefer shots that look like they haven't taken to much effort to put together. For me, I don't have a choice as my shots are not of me but of other people and what they. Can you imagine if I said to someone in the street, can you just go home and change your shoes before I get you photo as I don't really like them. Not going to happen. Anyway, great post as always and let me know if you are going to make it downunder next year.
FRESH OUT: Friend Friday: Did you really wear that? Does it matter if you really wore what you posted? http://bit.ly/b5ytCD #FBFF
Great answers V! And I love the photo recap of some of your magnificent ensembles. Have a beautiful weekend!

I would have guessed number 4 was for a gallery show.
thank you for the shout out!!!!!!!!! i always flush whenever you mention me. =)
i'm right there with you. i don't care at all if a blogger has worn an outfit in real life or not. there are so many bloggers that already post their daily outfits, and there's nothing wrong with it, but if we all did it then how boring would that get? i love going to a blog and seeing the personality of a person, and i definitely don't enjoy blogs that are trying too hard to be like someone else or fit the "formula." being yourself is so important in blogging.
You know, I'm getting pretty riled up about this little controversy. I can only speak for myself, but I blog as a creative outlet. I'm not forcing anyone to read it, if you don't like it, you don't have to read it. I usually wear the blog outfits at some point or another, but it doesn't necessarily occur on the day photos are taken. Moreover, my clothing experimentation on the blog usually inspires me to mix things up in real life outfits too. Sometimes I find that I like something I put together for the sheer purpose of blog dress-up so much that I do wear it out, even if it wasn't my original intention. I'm never buying new clothes solely for the blog, they serve my real life as well. So I really don't see the problem if I wear something that day or at all! I'm glad you have similar sentiments. I see these types of complaints a lot and I think they are really silly. I'm glad to finally have a little outlet to air my grievances.
i just have to thank you Becca….really, folks, it's only pictures of clothes.
Hi V,
That was great how you numbered what you wore and at the end of the post list the answers. I agree that you have to dress for you and not just for your blog.
Hi V:)
I agree with everything you said here…thank you for your honest, from the heart answers:)
Hey! I watched a video of yours and it was so helpful for my blog. I LOVE your outfits! You are really pretty.
I'm with you! I could care less what a blogger wears in "real life." I'm not a personal style blogger, so I don't do outfit posts. But my blog is a creative outfit, and in many ways, I'm using it to explore fantasy. Fashion has a lot to do with fantasy, no?

(The Well-Appointed Catwalk)
This is a great post! absolutly love your outfits!!! First time here but I am coming back for sure!
Wonderful answers as always.
I agree with what you've said, I don't really think about it either, makes no difference to me whether you've worn it all day or just put it on for the blog.
Thanks for your comments 🙂
Hope you have a great weekend xo
Ah, always so well put. Stylish friend, wishing you a grand Sunday.
I love what you wear! Wish I was so stylish. You're even stylish going to church. Good for you!
Since I don't do out fit posts, I got to sit back, relax, and read what everyone else does during this edition of Friend Friday. I agree with what you said re: whether or not a blogger wears an outfit in real life. The thought doesn't usually cross my mind. Instead, I usually end up thinking "wow, why didn't I think of that combination?!" (especially on your blog!). Ultimately, though, I think the most successful bloggers are the ones that are always true to themselves in what they post.
I love that this is really who you are – and it's no surprise that you get compliments here, at work, and elsewhere!
ha! brings back memories…..in my youth i wore some pretty wild looks, including to my (numerous) doc appts. a fave was a white lace blouse with black bra.
30 years on, i still see one of those docs for continuing troubles…..he always returns my calls lickety-split! : )
i don't care much either if someone's posting an outfit 'exactly as worn' or not…but it seems that some type of real world constraint usually results in a more interesting look – the really out there stuff seems to already happen on the runways, in mags, etc.

Monopril HCT
Angioedema: Angioedema, including laryngeal edema, can occur with treatment with ACE inhibitors, especially following the first dose. A patient receiving MONOPRIL-HCT should be told to report immediately any signs or symptoms suggesting angioedema (swelling of face, eyes, lips, or tongue, or difficulty in breathing) and to take no more drug until after consulting with the prescribing physician.
Female patients of childbearing age should be told about the consequences of second- and third-trimester exposure to ACE inhibitors, and they should also be told that these consequences do not appear to have resulted from intrauterine ACE inhibitor exposure that has been limited to the first trimester. These patients should be asked to report pregnancies to their physicians as soon as possible.
Symptomatic Hypotension: A patient receiving MONOPRIL-HCT (fosinopril sodium-hydrochlorothiazide tablets) should be cautioned that lightheadedness can occur, especially during the first days of therapy, and that it should be reported to the prescribing physician. The patients should be told that if syncope occurs, MONOPRIL-HCT should be discontinued until the physician has been consulted.
All patients should be cautioned that inadequate fluid intake, excessive perspiration, diarrhea, or vomiting can lead to an excessive fall in blood pressure, with the same consequences of lightheadedness and possible syncope.
Hyperkalemia: A patient receiving MONOPRIL-HCT should be told not to use potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium without consulting the prescribing physician.
Neutropenia: Patients should be told to promptly report any indication of infection (e.g., sore throat, fever), which could be a sign of neutropenia.

Congratulations to FC Montreal.
Not only did the Montreal Impact's USL-affiliated side win its first game of the season on the weekend — breaking an eight-game losing skid — it got the three points using a lineup entirely comprised of Canadians.
All of the starters and subs used by FC Montreal in its 2-1 win over Richmond were Canadian. All 990 minutes were credited to Canadian players.
So, thanks to such an, ahem, patriotic effort, FC Montreal deserves applause. Of any of the affiliated USL teams, FC Montreal's is the best example of a club that's being used as a true developmental side and not a farm team for the MLS parent club.
HERE ARE THE RANKINGS of minutes played by Canadians:

This plugin is GREAT! But with a whitelist it would be PERFECT!
A whitelist for Ip-adresses and domains. I am using it on several sites, but on e-commerce sites it breaks the communication with online payment solutions. With strict settings it also locks you out when hitting the WP "log out" button. And it has to be run with the strictets of settings, at least on my sites.
Is this in the making (I see others mising that option), or can anyone tell me how to mod the plug in to make one?

Police investigating illegal handgun possessionApril 10,2013DUMMERSTON — Vermont State Police are investigating how a transient man obtained a firearm he cannot legally possess.
Robert Taylor Brewer, 64, was pulled over by State Police on Monday during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Dummerston. Police said they conducted a search and found a .40-caliber handgun in Brewer's car.
Brewer had a prior conviction of domestic assault, which, under federal law, prohibits him from possessing a firearm. Although he was not arrested, State Police said they seized the firearm and the investigation is still ongoing.MORE IN This Just In

This man is not poly if you ask me, and nor are you if you willingly entered into this situation with him. Maybe in orientation, but not in lifestyle. This is cheating, hands down. Its very black and white to me; non-monogamy without consent, knowledge, honest and open communication in a relationship is cheating... Non-monogamy that is responsible and considerate with ethics such as empathy, integrity etc. is poly. If you want to know more about what others have said on this then check some of the threads found in a search in the tags for "lessons" and "foundations"
Sorry, but "rising above ones ego" just doesn't convince me here. It sounds like a cop out to being invested in someone. To me that means a person has not invested or been moved by a person in terms of bonding. This woman has possibly bonded with this man and he has taken her for a ride by not being responsible in his communication. His heart and sole concern is himself.
It sounds more like you are saying she doesn't have a right to own her emotions if she finds out. I would consider that emotionally abusive actually. If not then it makes me think that you are finding a way to justify his actions in order to sleep okay at night.
"Rising above ones ego" is what I would consider as being a flake and irresponsible. I find it more egotistical than acknowledging that we all have egos and that that is healthy. He sounds like a flake to me. And ya, if he is a flake and a lier to her he will be to everyone. Once a cheater gets away with lying and flaking our of communication they always do until they get caught. I dunno, maybe that's okay with you. I certainly would turn me off.
Have you had a child before? They teach you something about ego and how important it is to have one. Ego is natural and healthy I think, the quest is for me to balance my ego with empathy. Something this man is clueless of by the sound of it.
Have you ever been cheated on in the way he is? Have you deeply loved and cared for someone and had them destroy your trust of anyone because you learned that everything you knew was a lie? I suggest you take a look at some of the threads found under the tag "cheating" in the search engine too. It might help to find some empathy for this woman. No one deserves to be treated with so much disrespect. I don't care what she has done or who she is. Everyone deserves honesty and consideration. Without those basic things there is no love in the world and no hope of anyone ever healing from the damage we cause each other. I suggest that making that your spiritual goal is more healthy rather than the "rising above your ego" goal.

text: Russia Separatists In Ukraine Say They're Pulling Heavy Weapons Back By Bill Chappell • Feb 24, 2015 In a claim that's meeting with skepticism in Kiev, Russian-backed separatists say they've started to withdraw heavy weapons in eastern Ukraine, as required by a recent cease-fire. Ukraine's military says separatist attacks are ongoing. The development comes after Russia's President Vladimir Putin said he thinks a war with Ukraine would be "apocalyptic" — but that the area is now on a path to stability, after the recent Minsk agreement. British Fighter Jets Escort Russian Bombers Away From Coast Of U.K. By Jackie Northam • Feb 19, 2015 British fighter jets scrambled from their base on Wednesday after two Russian long-range bombers skirted the coast of Cornwall, in the southwest of England. The incident comes one day after British Foreign Secretary Michael Fallon warned about Russia's intentions in Europe. Ukraine Withdraws Forces After Fight Over Strategic City By Bill Chappell • Feb 18, 2015 Following heavy shelling in what had been a Ukraine-controlled city, the central government's force is retreating from Debaltseve, a key railroad and transportation hub. Ukraine says it has now withdrawn 80 percent of its armed forces from the city. "I can say now that the Ukrainian armed forces and the National Guard completed an operation on the planned and organized withdrawal of some units from Debaltseve this morning," Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko said, according to the Interfax news agency in Ukraine. Former Senator Joe Lieberman: Send Weapons to Ukraine By Tucker Ives • Feb 12, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have resulted in a cease-fire which is set to begin Sunday. But there's still a long ways to go before a lasting peace can exist between the two countries. Former Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman doesn't think the cease-fire will hold. He told CNN that the U.S. should send weapons to Ukrainian fighters to help counter Russian-backed troops and President Vladamir Putin. "I think if we give them the weapons to defend themselves, it actually raises the prospects that the cease-fire will hold because it creates a little more balance on the ground and creates a bit of a disincentive for Putin and the separatists to keep moving through eastern Ukraine," said Lieberman. Ukraine Cease-Fire Is Reached, Along With $40 Billion Aid Deal By Bill Chappell • Feb 12, 2015 A new cease-fire is set to begin Sunday in eastern Ukraine, in a deal after 16 hours of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. The leaders of France and Germany helped broker the deal, which calls for a buffer zone free of heavy weapons. News of the temporary peace emerged along with a new international aid plan for Ukraine. As has been the case in Ukraine's nearly yearlong conflict with separatists, the new arrangement established by Russia's President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko leaves some important issues unresolved. Sanctions Intensify Russia's Free Fall Into Economic Crisis By Jim Zarroli • Dec 31, 2014 A year ago, Russia's economy was riding high. Today, the country is widely thought to be entering a recession, if it's not already there. The plunge in oil prices has been the main culprit, but Russia's economy has had trouble regaining its footing because of sanctions imposed by the West after the annexation of Crimea. President Obama and other Western leaders were quick to condemn Russia when it annexed the Crimean Peninsula last March, and they struggled to find a way to show their outrage. Yale World Fellow and Putin Opponent Convicted in Russia By Diane Orson & Tucker Ives • Dec 30, 2014 Evgeny Feldman / Wikimedia Commons Updated at 11:36 a.m. A Russian activist with ties to Yale University has received a suspended sentence on fraud charges. Alexei Navalny has become a prominent political opposition leader in Russia, leading protests over the years against President Vladimir Putin. According to the Associated Press, thousands of protestors took to the streets outside the Kremlin in response to the conviction. Navalny was subsequently arrested for breaking the terms of his house arrest and joining the protestors. What It's Like to Be Detained in Russia; Public Confidence in Local Hospitals By Lydia Brown • Dec 1, 2014 Apples and oranges / Creative Commons It's been just over a year since Russian authorities arrested 30 activists aboard Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior III -- a ship protesting Russia's controversial oil rig in the Arctic. Among those arrested was the ship's captain, Peter Willcox, a Greenpeace veteran and resident of Norwalk, Connecticut. G20 Leaders Pledge Growth, Threaten More Sanctions On Russia By Scott Neuman • Nov 16, 2014 President Obama departed the venue of the annual G20 summit in Australia today, declaring it had been a "strong week for American leadership." The gathering wrapped up by promising to fight climate change and work toward boosting economic growth even as leaders made it clear that new sanctions would be imposed on Russia if Moscow doesn't back down in Eastern Ukraine. Pro-Western Parties Sweep Ukraine's Parliamentary Elections By Scott Neuman • Oct 27, 2014 Elections in Ukraine are pointing to a new parliament that will be dominated by pro-Western parties, a result that President Petro Poroshenko is hailing as a "course toward Europe" but one that is likely to further anger Russia. NPR's Corey Flintoff reports from Kiev that exit polls show the bloc supporting Porsohenko is projected to win about 23 percent of the vote, followed closely by an allied party, the People's Front, with around 21 percent. As Oil Prices Fall, Who Wins And Who Loses? By editor • Oct 16, 2014 With oil around $85 a barrel and tumbling to its lowest levels in several years, here's the upside: Gasoline prices are down, the U.S. is feeling less dependent on foreign crude, and serious economic pressure is growing on oil producers such as Iran and Russia. Here's the downside: The low demand for oil reflects a fragile global economy that's vulnerable to additional shocks, like falling stock markets around the world. Microsoft Windows Flaw Let Russian Hackers Spy On NATO, Report Says By Aarti Shahani • Oct 14, 2014 A group of hackers, allegedly from Russia, found a fundamental flaw in Microsoft Windows and exploited it to spy on Western governments, NATO, European energy companies and an academic organization in the United States. That's according to new research from iSight Partners, a Dallas-based cybersecurity firm. Dutch Investigators: MH17 Brought Down By 'High-Energy Objects' By Scott Neuman • Sep 9, 2014 An initial investigation by Dutch experts appears to support the long-held theory of what happened to MH17 over eastern Ukraine: The Malaysian airliner was brought down by multiple "high-energy objects from outside the aircraft." Although the preliminary technical report by the Dutch Safety Board did not directly say the objects were surface-to-air missiles, it left little room to conclude otherwise. Russia Reports Troop Deaths In Ukraine, But Calls Them 'Volunteers' By Corey Flintoff • Sep 8, 2014 Ukraine and the West, including the United States, insist that the Russian army has been fighting in eastern Ukraine, a charge that Russia just as vehemently denies. But reports from Russia now acknowledge that Russian soldiers are part of the battle — though they are claimed to be volunteers, on leave from their army jobs. Critics say the Russian military is ordering soldiers into the fight, and covering up the deaths of those who are killed, in an unacknowledged war on foreign soil. In Ukraine, Cease-Fire Between Government, Separatists Takes Hold By editor • Sep 5, 2014 This post was updated at 1 p.m. ET. The government of Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists in the east say they have stopped fighting, honoring a cease-fire that took effect late Friday afternoon local time. NPR's Corey Flintoff tells our Newscast unit that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ordered a cease-fire once separatists agreed to peace talks at a meeting in Belarus. During a televised press conference, Poroshenko said the peace deal was forged based on a phone conversation he had with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Can NATO Find A Way To Contain Russia? By editor • Sep 3, 2014 Ever since the Cold War ended, the armies of NATO and Russia have been moving warily toward each other while their political positions keep moving further apart. Twelve Eastern European countries have joined NATO since the Soviet breakup, and NATO is now on the verge of creating a rapid-reaction force for the region. Russia has sent troops into two former Soviet republics, Ukraine and Georgia, that have relationships with NATO, but not membership. Russia, Ukraine Distance Themselves From News Of A Cease-Fire Deal By editor • Sep 3, 2014 The morning started on a hopeful note: The office of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said that in a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the two had agreed on a "permanent cease-fire." But that was short-lived. As the state-funded Russia Today reports, the Russians quickly pointed out that they had reached no such agreement, because "Russia is not party to Ukraine conflict." NATO To Create New 'Spearhead' Force For Eastern Europe By L. Carol Ritchie • Sep 2, 2014 NATO leaders are expected to set up a rapid-response force to deploy quickly to eastern Europe to defend against potential Russian aggression at their meeting in Wales later this week. The force of about 4,000 troops will be ready to move on 48 hours notice from a station in a member country close to Russia, The New York Times reported. Pro-Russia Rebels Say They Will Settle For Autonomy In Ukraine By editor • Sep 1, 2014 Update at 3:21 p.m. ET Pro-Russia rebels in Ukraine are no longer demanding full independence, telling negotiators in Belarus that they will respect Ukraine's sovereignty in exchange for autonomy. The Associated Press adds: "It's a shift that reflects Moscow's desire to strike a deal at a new round of peace talks — possibly avoiding tougher Western sanctions. The talks follow last week's meeting between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine. Similar talks earlier this summer produced no visible results." White House Says "Continuation," Murphy Says "War" By Tucker Ives • Aug 29, 2014 Chion Wolf / WNPR As the conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues to escalate, Democratic U.S. Senator Chris Murphy wants to call it what it is: a war. Ukrainian Prime Minister Says Government Will Seek NATO Membership By editor • Aug 29, 2014 Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says his government has sent parliament a bill that allows Ukraine to open a path toward membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. "The main and only goal of Ukraine's foreign policy is to join the European Union," Yatsenyuk said in a statement. Obama Blames Russia For Violence In Ukraine; Calls Moves 'Incursion' By editor • Aug 28, 2014 Updated at 4:47 p.m. President Obama blamed Russia for the violence in Ukraine and said its "incursion" into the former Soviet state will only carry additional costs. "Russia has deliberately and repeatedly violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and the new images of Russian forces inside Ukraine make that plain for the world to see," Obama said at a White House news conference on Thursday. Russian Convoy Crosses Ukraine Border Despite Kiev's Protests By Scott Neuman • Aug 22, 2014 Update at 5:00 p.m. ET After being halted at the border for more than a week, a Russian aid convoy is rumbling into eastern Ukraine without permission, prompting Kiev to label the move a "direct invasion" of sovereign territory. Karoun Demirjian, reporting for NPR from Moscow, says 150 Russian trucks arrived in the rebel-held city of Luhansk on Friday. Ukraine Forces Near Rebel City As Russia Escalates Border Exercises By editor • Aug 5, 2014 Russia and Ukraine are holding large military exercises along their shared border as the Ukrainian military claims to be closing in on rebel strongholds in Donetsk and Luhansk, NPR's Karoun Demirjian reports from Moscow. Government troops and separatists have been fighting for months for control of eastern Ukraine, Karoun says, and Ukrainian leaders say Russia has been supplying the separatists with weapons and strategic assistance — a charge Moscow denies. Ukrainian Troops Said Poised To Retake Rebel-Held Donetsk By Scott Neuman • Jul 26, 2014 Ukrainian forces were reportedly advancing on rebel positions near the key eastern town of Donetsk on Saturday, as they try to retake the separatist stronghold. Donetsk is the region where Malaysia Airlines MH17 was shot down on July 17, killing nearly 300 people. Pro-Russian rebels have been blamed for downing the plane and they have hampered international efforts to access the site of the wreckage. U.S.: Russia-Based Artillery Targeting Ukrainian Troops By Scott Neuman • Jul 24, 2014 The U.S. says it has "new evidence" that Russian forces have been firing artillery across the border to attack Ukrainian military positions, and that Moscow is planning to ship powerful rocket artillery to the rebels it backs in the country's east. "We have new evidence that the Russians intend to deliver heavier and more powerful multiple rocket launchers to the separatist forces in Ukraine, and have evidence that Russia is firing artillery from within Russia to attack Ukrainian military positions," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said during a daily briefing. Train Carrying MH17 Victims' Remains Arrives In Government-Controlled City By editor • Jul 22, 2014 A refrigerated train carrying the remains of the people who died aboard the downed Malaysia Airlines plane arrived in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Tuesday. That's a city controlled by the central government in Kiev and 17 hours away from the chaos of Hrabove, the eastern city controlled by pro-Russian separatists, where the debris and remains were scattered. The New York Times sets the scene: Flight MH17: Black Boxes And Bodies Handed Over; U.N. Calls For Inquiry By Bill Chappell • Jul 21, 2014 This post was last updated at 7:10 p.m. ET. Pro-Russian separatists have given what they say are Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17's data recorders to Malaysian officials in Donetsk, the city in eastern Ukraine that has been the militants' stronghold. Along with the release of victims' bodies hours earlier, the transfer of the black boxes fulfills part of a deal Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said he had reached with the rebels Monday. Murphy: Europe Should Impose a "Crippling Round of Sanctions" Against Russia By Ray Hardman • Jul 21, 2014 WNPR On Monday at the White House, President Obama urged Russian President Vladmir Putin to order Russian separatists in Ukraine to allow international investigators unfettered access to the crash site of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17. Obama Urges Putin to Push for Unhindered Probe of Plane Crash Site in Ukraine By Heather Brandon • Jul 21, 2014 Pete Souza / White House President Barack Obama spoke about the downed plane in eastern Ukraine from the White House Monday morning. He called for international investigators to have "immediate and full access" to the site where a passenger jet was shot down last week. U.S. officials have been seeking to build a case that the plane was shot down by pro-Russian separatists. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 next › last »

Making the decision to have plastic surgery should not be taken lightly, but unfortunately too many people are so concerned with their appearance that it doesn't stop them from thinking rationally. Not everyone can be perfect, and of course plastic surgery is not going to make you into this perfect person. However, if you would like to get a few things fixed that's perfectly okay and plastic surgery is fine.
Choosing to get plastic surgery is something you need to think long and hard about. It really depends on what you want to get, since some procedures are considered serious while others are routine. Then you need to know the consequences of your decision and what could happen if things go wrong which is a definitely possibility.
With all the new technology available today it seems more people are opting for plastic surgery. We are society that is obsessed with our looks, and whatever we can do to enhance ourselves someone has a solution. It is quite amazing at some of the plastic surgery that people get, but if it makes then happy then that's all that counts.
The most important part of your plastic surgery is choosing the doctor who will perform it. Before undergoing any procedure it is important that you speak with several plastic surgeons just to get an idea about the process, what the charges are, do you really need the surgery and what could possibly go wrong. You want the truth and honest answers, otherwise you may be setting yourself up for a letdown. By speaking with many doctors and educating yourself on the entire process it can help you make a much more wise final decision.
Make sure you have a strong support system on the days leading up to the surgery because you may be very nervous. Have your ride planned out, and also who will be taking you home. There will be after care involved also maybe physical rehab, so be sure to have all of that planned out in advance so you can follow the doctors orders.
Before the surgery you can go online to get good advice about others who have had the type of plastic surgery you are going in for. This is great because it lets you know what to expect both before, during and after. You can also get great advice about which plastic surgeons are the best and who you should avoid.
Any plastic surgeon you choose should belong to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It is a well respected organization that doctors in the profession take very seriously. Without guidelines and regulations to follow the industry would be a free for all like it was in the past. Now it is more professional and there is a lot of collaboration in the field as the technology improves.
Anyone undergoing plastic surgery must know the risks ahead of time which hopefully your doctor has informed you of. If you are ready to get started, good luck with the procedure and don't look back.

Staying safe over spring break
Published: Wednesday, March 9, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 9, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
Spring break 2005 is just around the corner, and campuses and organizations throughout the country are doing all they can to make certain it will be a safe and memorable experience for their students. Instead of feeding the stereotypes of drunk and disorderly partygoers in the spring break hot spots of Mexico or Florida, many students will be feeding the homeless.
Students from San Diego State University will travel to South Africa to build houses, work at orphanages, and engage in other service projects. In past years, students at Monmouth College in Illinois have tutored migrant farm workers in Florida, registered voters in Mississippi, and worked at soup kitchens in Washington, D.C. In fact, Break Away, a nonprofit organization(www.alternativebreaks.org) that organizes alternative break programs for college and high school students, estimates that 30,000 U.S. students will participate in some alternative break experience this year.
This is no doubt bad news for the tour promoters who lure college students to Mexican vacation sites that promise "50 hours of free drinking" over seven days where the drinking age of 18 is "rarely enforced."
When alcohol is free flowing and laws regarding underage drinking are not always enforced, young people run the risk of alcohol poisoning from binge drinking, being injured or killed in a drunk driving incident, contracting sexually transmitted diseases, and being raped, robbed, drugged, or otherwise injured.
The statistics regarding college drinking are dire enough each year without compounding the problem with spring break revelry. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), students who drink excessively have higher rates of injuries, assaults, academic problems, arrests, vandalism and other health and social problems each year compared to their non-drinking counterparts. In a year, NIAAA reports that:
In addition to offering alternative activities (many of which qualify for college credit), many universities and colleges are taking measures to educate students about ways to prevent injury and tragedy for those who are drawn to the spring break party scene. Spring break can be a fun and healthy experience if students learn to make responsible and safe decisions, according to Bacchus and Gamma Peer Education Network, a nonprofit association in Denver that focuses on alcohol abuse prevention and other student health and safety issues. Each year, Bacchus and Gamma launches prevention campaigns on over 1,000 campuses. They designate March as "Safe Spring Break Month."
This year, Bacchus and Gamma's spring break campaign is a takeoff on the board game "Clue," with character cards like "Ms. Scarlet in the clubs," reminding students to "watch your drink; don't drink any unattended beverage." The "Get a Clue Safe Spring Break Kit" contains posters, ideas for campus activities, and a programming manual that includes well-documented information on drugs, alcohol impairment, road safety, sun safety, sexually transmitted diseases, and other issues.
Pledge cards are also an important component of the campaign, said Janet Cox, associate executive director at Bacchus and Gamma. "Most campuses use pledge cards as a visual reminder to students that they have made a commitment to act safely and responsibly," she said. "Some campuses are sending out the cards electronically so students can print them, sign them, then use them as a ticket to get into various safe spring break kickoff events."
To see what you can do to help make this spring break the safest ever, go to www.bacchusgamma.org. For information regarding the dangers and consequences of drinking by college students and for recommendations on how to deal with this serious problem, see NIAAA's "College Drinking: Changing the Culture" at www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov.
Alive & Free is a health column that offers information to help prevent and address addiction and substance abuse problems. It is provided by Hazelden, a nonprofit agency based in Center City, Minn., that offers a wide range of information and services on addiction and recovery. For more resources, call Hazelden at (800) 257-7800 or check its Web site at www.hazelden.org.

Heya guys I have been messing around with the Xbox Media Centre and for the life of me I cant see where you upconvert videos to the HDTV resolutions.
The only resolution option in settings I see only changes it from NTSC 4 x 9 to NTSC 16 x 9. In the video setup part where you choose the outer limits of the picture I can change all the resolutions (white button) but cant get it to work when watching a movie.
Anyone got any ideas?

Playtime Planner: A Star-Spangled Day Off
Written by: Kimberly Bares
When a holiday/day-off arrives, most families begin the day with a nice slow start, a "lazy dazy" morning in my house, and everything is all pajamas and pancakes. Then you quickly realize you have to have a plan to keep everyone reasonably busy and smiling - especially through the witching hours.

- American Flag Assembly Party – make your own American Flag breakfast
- DIY Fireworks (noise & danger free!) - for the big kids & the little ones
- Cookie Cutter Sandwiches – cookie cutters and toothpicks are great tools to spruce up sandwiches, watermelon, apple slices, berries, and more!
