Security By Location
I thought that I read that there is a setting that allows you to change your security setting based on the wifi location on the GS5. For example, if you are anywhere but on your home wifi network, your GS5 would require you to use whatever security setup you have enabled. But when you arrived at home and detected your home wifi network, you may only need to swipe to access your phone. If this is true, how do I access this feature?

Favorite watch
The only thing that was at all negative is that the band is plastic so not everywhere could adjust it because otherwise it could crack. So I had to bring it to a Fossill shop, which was fine just not as easy as it could be if there isn't a place that can safely adjust plastic closer.

Recently Sensis Online Directories has developed an approach to answer the question of "Is our search relevant?", based on facts rather than by judgement. Companies who have a search component to their systems can be in discussions where statements like the following are made: "We have a problem Y with the results in this area, If we make this change X, the problem of search goes away". How do you quantify that a simple change in one area solves an issue, in isolation, without causing flow on affects. This presentation talks about the approach Sensis Online Directories have undertaken to quantify the quality of its search and measure improvement and changes.

When I'm sitting in traffic, driving the carpool or taking out the mulch I dig deep and try recall the joyous and cleansing feeling I had spending five days in the snowy wilderness of the High Sierra. Between Christmas and New Year's, my family joined another for a winter adventure that I replay often in my head; it really was just what the doctor ordered.
This is the first year in a long while the snow has been this deep and this good. The drought in California has taken a toll, and although hardly the most important problem caused by low, or no precipitation, the lack of snow has been hard for winter sports enthusiasts.
Thanks to Global Warming and/or El Nino, this year is different! The weather report seemed perfect. Clear skies for travel days, fresh snow upon arrival and one day of flurries. We packed our backpacks, pre-cooked our beef stew, waxed our cross country skis and prayed our old car could manage the mountainous trip.
It was cold, maybe 10-15 degrees when we arrived. The kids donned snowshoes, my husband I the skis and we tried to balance the weight in our packs. Our friend pulled the sled with much of the food. In the summer you can drive in to the house but in the winter the journey is part of the adventure. It's only about a mile but you feel you've really earned it! Continue reading »

When you travel to the same place often, to visit family, it is important to have ritualized outings and to sprinkle in some new experiences each visit to keep things fresh. We are lucky, my in-laws live on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and it is always fun to travel there.
We have our list of musts, which includes over-the-top breakfasts at the Oak Table, swims in Lake Crescent, visits to Lavender Farms, maybe a day trip to Victoria, British Columbia and walks on the Dungeness Spit to name a few. This summer we had a longer visit planned and decided to explore some spots farther from our home base in Sequim.

I have wanted to pick stone fruit since I moved to California more than twenty years ago. In the interim I have picked blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, apples and some cherries from my urban backyard tree. The lure of fuzzy pink peaches, iridescent plums and, as comedian Mel Brooks would say, "I love a nectarine; It's half a peach, half a plum, it's a hell of a fruit" is tantalizing.
Dreams of picking fruit, fresh off the tree dance in my head, particularly in summer. One of my happiest memories was wild camping in Provence waking up in our tent under a reine claude plum tree. We ate so many as we noshed on our fresh croissants and coffee.
Somehow, I always seem to miss the season here, maybe it's my East Coast sensibility or the craziness in May and June, but finally this year, my dream came true! I had planned a day with my younger son, a good friend and her son. We would pack a picnic, drive to the East Bay and pick fruit in searing heat and then cool off in a pool or watering hole. There are many lists of U-Pick fruit orchards, I picked this one: Farmer's Daughter Produce and U-Pick Farm.
I tried to maintain that buoyant feeling despite a wrenched ankle, that had me hobbled, and the whining complaints of the the two tween/teen boys we had brought along. I knew they would rather be playing video games, but I also knew that this was going to be fun and rewarding!

It's not that often a new, jaw-dropping cliff-side trail is opened. After much controversy and many years of debate, the Devil's Slide Coastal Trail and companion tunnels are now in full swing and if you haven't had a chance to walk, roll or run on the path it is certainly a great quick getaway for Bay Area folks. If you are planning a trip to San Francisco and want a manageable walk with Pacific Oceans views, make the trek just a 20-minute drive from the city.

Museum Café Renaissance
Posted by Darya Mead
I have fond memories of dressing up to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC with my family or friends, and eating in the fancy cafe with marble statues and fountains. I stared at the coins in the water, thinking about how rich I would be if I could collect all the change. I can still look down and see my shiny black patent leather Mary Jane shoes scuffing along the marble. I don't know what I ate but it was probably a tuna sandwich or BLT, something mundane, despite the posh surroundings.
Later, when I became a parent, I started packing lunches to save money, because I was unwilling to spend top dollar on crappy food, on top of the skyrocketing museum entrance fees. As my kids have grown, and museums have become more accessible again, I am pleasantly surprised by a renaissance in museum cafes. Gone are many of the gross cafeteria-style money pits and instead, some quite lovely cafes with Old World charm and even eateries with hip, family friendly fare have sprouted up. Continue reading »

California Gold Country Booty
Posted by Darya Mead
As we careen towards Christmas, I was experiencing a bit of S-A-O, Seasonal-Autumnal-Overload. Having already relented to a trip to a giant pumpkin patch, harvest day for my son's school, Halloween preparations and the omnipresent pumpkinification of October, from coffee flavoring, to muffins to candles…I was done.
Alas, we had a fall getaway planned to the California Gold Country in the Sierra Foothills and I was looking for some fun things to do with the family that might diverge a bit from the frolicsome fall activities I had been enjoying. We have driven past Sonora on our way to the mountains, often heading that way in summer or winter. It was exciting to think about a weekend trip that didn't involve preparing food, camping or ski gear and with an open itinerary I could craft. I had a secret hope to see some changing leaves.

Snow Mountain Wilderness Adventure
Posted by Darya Mead
Last month the Rim fire, Burning Man and the closing of the Bay Bridge meant our planned Labor Day backpacking trip to the Sierras was in question. Finally, after much discussion we opted to head for the Snow Mountain Wilderness Area about 110 miles north of San Francisco in California's Lake County.
Armed with outdated maps and hopes of some lake swimming, we hit the road ready for our adventure. Stopping at a ranger station, we got the skinny on the trails and hoped to hike to some small waterfalls. We were told the driving was rough to get to the trailhead, and included fording a river, which sounded exciting till we got to it and panicked.
We promptly set up camp and found a swell swimming hole, as we were to wait till the next morning when the other half of our party was to arrive. Once our big group was assembled, we decided to spend the day at a big lake before attempting to ford the river again.
The driving was dusty, long and we made a few bad choices. Desperate to swim in a lake, we headed for Lake Pillsbury, which sounded enchanting, but was, alas, quite a depressing scene. Lake Pillsbury is a man-made lake in Northern California, situated an arduous 33 miles east of Ukiah in the Mendocino National Forest. Reviews were mixed, but as the the temperature climbed, we just wanted to cool off. What we found was a dried up, somewhat scungy car-camping scene, with campers and giant garbage bags full of empty beer and soda containers all smooshed together in the seedy campgrounds. The bathrooms, cute store and expensive gas were welcome, but this was not what we had in mind for our backpacking adventure; we didn't even want to swim in the lake.
Finally we decided to return to the small menacing river and attempt to get past it with an all wheel drive Subaru Outback.

Avid Archers
Posted by Darya Mead
Katniss from The Hunger Games, Hawkeye from The Avengers and London's 2012 Olympic Archery Competition have all given the ancient sport of archery a jolt. Kids and adults across the country are smitten with the idea of using a bow to shoot an arrow.
A recent New York Times Fashion & Style article explores the trajectory of the sport given the cultural craze. From Staten Island to San Francisco, sales of kid-size recurve bows have more than quadrupled this year!
Whether you have a Robin Hood fan, a small Cossack (a kid into ancient weaponry) or you just love fun, free, urban family activities, you've got to check out the Golden Gate Park Archery Range in San Francisco when you're visiting the city. It's a beautiful and well-maintained piece of park real estate, near the beach. It's easy to park and accessible by public transportation. It's always open for folks with their own archery equipment. If you're looking to try it out as an activity, you can swing by the nearby Archery Pro Shop, where you can sign up for lessons, rent or buy bows or investigate other equipment. You can also buy bows and arrows on-line. Continue reading »

San Francisco Stairwalks
Posted by Darya Mead
San Francisco is known world wide for stunning views and hilly terrain. Some streets are so steep that more than 300 stairways exist throughout the city, providing access and shortcuts to areas difficult to reach otherwise.
There are the famous routes to Coit Tower where one can catch a glimpse of the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, and the now famous Mosaic Stairs in Golden Gate Heights. Although not as crowded as say, Lombard (the crookedest street in the west), these top stairwalks can be bustling.
Instead, grab Adah Bakalinsky's stairwalk bible, now in it's 20th edition, and explore some of the more quirky areas. The book offers up the popular routes, but many of the stairways highlighted are tranquil spots, used only by locals and known only to a handful of people. Most walks take no more than an hour and string a number of staircases in a neighborhood together, with informative descriptions of the history, architecture and flora and fauna of the area.
Together, families can explore the nooks and crannies of this great city. My family often decides on a route and picks a restaurant or café in the area to make our ultimate destination. Avid hikers, we love to take our boys on treks outside the city, often inspiring them with treats or the prospect of counting banana slugs. Some days however, we just can't get out of town, but want an outdoor activity that feels like a hike. Then we reach for our stairwalk book and pack a few snacks and layers of clothing.

Are social media and the Internet responsible for the demise of the picture postcard? An article in a Scottish newspaper says just one in six Britons send a postcard while on their vacation, according to online and market research company One Poll.
Granted, Americans, in general, partake in way less "holiday time" than our European counterparts, but is it really true that smartphones and instant gratification through technology are wiping out such a colorful and beloved tradition?
On a recent trip to Bodie State Historic Park, my camera battery died. Such a picturesque place, I was kicking myself, but luckily I had gotten a few shots and still had my non-smartphone, phone camera.
We went into the gift shop and postcards were 45 cents. I decided to get a few, I usually have my kids send them to grandparents and perhaps their own friends, part writing exercise, part ritual. This time I wanted to send one to a family whose dog, (named Bodie, after a '90s trip together to Bodie) had just passed away. We had created a laminated memorial to leave at the cemetery as a tribute. I thought it would be nice to also send them a postcard. Continue reading »

I have to admit that I stole this idea. 7 years ago, a friend gave a framed and signed photo of himself at a gag gift party.
I/we've now done that (or something similar) at least four times.
Don't worry, we try not to repeat with the same group in order to maximize hilariousness.
This year, I've used four of my hard-to-declutter headshots. Two were "bonus gifts" included in other gifts. Two were used tonight at a "creatively wrapped gift" party.
So if you're looking for ways to get use out of your severely out-of-date headshots, feel free to borrow these ideas.
I'm proud of myself. I think I now only have about 396 left to go.

The Graham County Board of Commissioners held a Special Meeting this past Thursday, 12/3, for the purpose of discussing the specific areas proposed in Graham County that may meet criteria for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System and also the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The goal is to have detailed and specific information necessary to prove ineligibility for as many locations as possible in order to fill out the comment forms and get them submitted by the comment expiration date of Dec. 15th.
For more detailed information on the subject of Wilderness designation and a list of the particular areas being considered in Graham County, check out the previous post, "Forest Service Announces List of Possible Lands…"
About 60-70 people, emotionally charged and opposed to these wilderness designations, showed up at the initial specially called Commissioners meeting back on 11/12 in response to the Forest Service's announcement of the possible locations. At this meeting to work on filling out the actual comment cards, only about 20 people attended, including one of the more outspoken commenters from the initial meeting, Mr. Jimmy Millsaps, our new County Manager, Mike Edwards, and the author of the commentary below, Mr. Dale Wiggins. The county's Economic Development Director, Andy Cable, led the discussion.
Click link for a FAQ handout on Wilderness, published by the USFS.
Unable to stay for the full meeting, I checked the internet later for any updates. Mr. Steve Odom, Chair for the GC Republican Party, recently created a Facebook page, titled "Stop the Wilderness" to help rally local support, disseminate information and answer questions. Following Thursday's meeting there was a post from Mr. Wiggins stating his disappointment in the lack of meeting participants. He wrote:
"There was a meeting Thursday to discuss the additional proposed Wilderness designated lands in Graham County. Over 30,000 acres of additional lands. ALL OF BIG SNOWBIRD CREEK that is on USFS lands. Plus lands on Yellow Creek, more in the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock area, Deep Creek, huge section near Cheoah Bald, I was shocked to see how much and where it all was. Then if that's not enough numerous streams that are being looked at for Wild and Scenic river designations!!!! Guess how many people came to participate? Less than 20!!!! Can we just sit by and say "it won't affect me? If you look at the map you can see the long term goal is to spread the Wilderness designation throughout the USFS lands in Graham County. Think I'm crazy? Get a map and see for yourself. Ever hear of the Wildlands Project? The only trout stream in this county where elderly and disabled people can drive to and fish would have the road closed and only foot traffic allowed!! Not to mention the fact that the people who eek out a living on some of these lands would be taken away. The comment period ends December 15th, ten days from today. Another meeting will be held next Thursday at the Community Center on Knight Street beginning at 5:30. Not a meeting to call people names and place blame but a meeting to organize and fight this to the bitter end. Don't think it could happen to you? I'll ask this question. DO YOU TRUST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO LOOK AFTER YOUR BEST INTERESTS? I hope to see a lot more of you next Thursday than I did this past Thursday."
Having heard Mr. Wiggins speak before and knowing his passion for this issue, I asked him if to write an editorial on this subject for the GrahamEditorial.com and its readers. He agreed and sent in the following piece about how more wilderness area designation affects the average person in Graham County. Here is his Editorial, in full:
So, how does more Wilderness Area designation impact the average person in Graham County? On the surface it sounds good to those who are concerned about protecting various animals, forests, pristine water sources and a host of other things. What could be wrong with that? Here's what I think. One, it's basically creating National Park lands without having to call it a Park. But you can drive a car through most of our national parks. You can't drive a car through a Wilderness Area. I'll admit that's really not that big of deal because the areas being sought for the Wilderness designation don't have roads cars can go on anyway. If that was the only issue it wouldn't be an issue to most of us would it? But that's not really the underlying reason that it will impact your life or your children's lives and of course grandchildren's lives. If the Federal government would say "we want this area and we'll not want any more of the land in Wilderness" then maybe we could say "OK, take this area or that area since you won't be wanting anymore of it ever." Would you believe the US Forest Service if they came to you and said that? I wouldn't and if you have an average mind you wouldn't believe it either. This whole Wilderness issue and the concerns for those people with "ologist" at the end of their job title can be traced back to the US Forest Service's own failed policy that we all know as "clear cutting." Remember when the Forest Service first started this practice? Us local folk who don't have a lot of education but do have a lot of common sense or horse sense looked at clear cutting and said to ourselves, "what the hell are they thinking?" Cut down every tree, leave nothing and the forest will come back healthier and stronger. It came back alright as briar patches, scrubby unhealthy trees, unwanted species taking over, and more issues than I have the time and space to list. But who suffers from that? Not the US Forest Service. Every person who ever logged was blamed. Not the feds, "it's the loggers who are raping our forests". What was the Forest Service and the "ologists" solution to this fiasco? Stop all logging on federal lands then everything will be fine once again. I know that's not how the so-called educated person might state it, but that's what happened.
What does that have to do with Wilderness Area designations? Well, the "ologist" people said "hey, let's make sure that we can protect the forest from these darn loggers." They should have asked how we can protect the forest from the US Forest service and the "ologists?" So they decided after much consultation and little study about the impact of Wilderness designations have on local people, the local economy, and on the forest itself to create "Wilderness Areas" where no man can ever cut a tree, build a road, pick a flower and a host of other things that are prohibited in Wilderness Areas. They concluded it would be great thing and hey it will be like a park almost without having to call it a park. Everybody will love a "wilderness" right?
Well, they forgot to mention a few of the negative impacts. Number one I guess would be the loss of jobs; people can't harvest plants in Wilderness Areas, not just trees, but any plants. No ginseng harvest, no moss to harvest. They never concerned themselves with the "trickle down" effect. Next the ease of access so people can go and recreate in the forest. No road to get there even if there was already one there before the designation of "Wilderness Area". Oh yeah, you can still fish, you can hunt, that is, if you are physically able to walk long distances in mountainous terrain. OK, that's good for most I would say, they can walk. But what about those who maybe can't? The elderly, the disabled, the very young, what about them? Well, nothing's perfect is it? But hey, they covered their butts from the idiotic practice of clear cutting, created lots of jobs for "ologists", "ologists" who don't live in the locales where these designations are placed. "Ologists" who want to see zero human impact. "Ologists" who care more about some bug or some bat that no one else has ever seen but they swear that they are there. How do they know? Often the US Forest Service "ologists" reply is "well it looks like good habitat for them if they decide to locate there." What are they gonna do, get in a plane in California and fly over and parachute out?
Want an example of this kind of "ologist" idiocy? Several years ago US Fish and Wildlife along with the US Forest Service "ologists" declared the Graham County, NC was the only place in the world that the rare Junaluska salamander could be found. Yep, Graham County, NC and nowhere else. They were preparing to take control of several areas along Tallulah Creek and some tributaries to "protect the habitat" of the Junaluska salamander. It just so happens that this habitat was mostly on privately owned land. No matter says the ologists and US Fish and Wildlife; we must protect the Junaluska salamander. I was a county commissioner at the time, I know what was said. Now I wouldn't want to be the guy responsible for the extinction of some species you know, but being the uneducated person that I am I was dumb enough to ask US Fish and Wildlife, "how do you know Graham County is the only place on this huge planet the only home the Junaluska salamander has?" I wasn't supposed to ask that I soon found out. Why? Because they didn't know the answer. The "ologists" had not studied the planet to see if they existed anywhere else. So after much wringing of hand and pressure from our Congressman Charles Taylor, the US Fish and Wildlife and these "ologists" had to go do a study. Imagine their disappointment when they found Junaluska salamanders in other areas! In other states even!!
I've said all this somewhat silly stuff to show you, one, that we cannot trust the Federal government. I've said it to say to you that even if it doesn't affect you directly, more Wilderness designation could affect your neighbor, your children. Every future generation of people who are able to call Graham County home will be impacted by these designations. Myself and others won't be here a hundred years from now but the Wilderness Area will be and by then if we the people don't take responsibility for protecting our homes, our way of life, our culture, our economy, and yes our children, there may not be a Graham County. Since the first lands were given a "wilderness" designation, each time the US Forest Service has to do its Forest Management Plan, the "ologists" have come asking for more wilderness areas. This time they want over 30,000 more acres in Graham County. Combine that with what they've already been successful at having designated as wilderness and it's approaching half of the US Forest Service lands in Graham County.
Does that bother you enough to stand up and try to stop it? It does me and I'm going to put every ounce of energy I have into doing so. Did I mention they want some "Wild and Scenic River" designations? Well, that's as they say "a whole 'nother story." There will be a meeting to decide the future of this in Graham County on Thursday, December 10, 2015 in the Community Center at 5:30pm. Will you be there? I plan to be.

Most athletes perform some type of regular warm up and cool down during training and racing. A proper warm up has some very real benefits for all athletes but is even more important for athletes who perform intensity exercise and for older athletes. The most obvious benefit is the increase in blood flow to the working muscle, which results in decreased muscle stiffness, less risk of injury and possibly improved performance. Additional benefits of warming up include a wide variety of physiological and psychological changes that prepare the body for exercise.

Benefits of a Proper Warm Up:

Increased Muscle Temperature - The temperature increases within muscles that are used during a warm up routine. A warmed muscle both contracts more forcefully and relaxes more quickly. In this way, both speed and strength can be enhanced. Also, the probability of overstretching a muscle and causing injury is far less.

Increased Body Temperature - This improves muscle elasticity, also reducing the risk of strains and pulls.

Blood Vessels Dilate - This reduces the resistance to blood flow and lower stress on the heart.

Improve Efficient Cooling - By activating the heat-dissipation mechanisms in the body (efficient sweating) an athlete can cool efficiently and help prevent overheating early in the event or race.

Increased Blood Temperature - The temperature of blood increases as it travels through the muscles, and as blood temperature rises, the amount of oxygen it can hold becomes reduced. This means a slightly greater volume of oxygen is made available to the working muscles, enhancing endurance and performance.

Improved Range of Motion - The range of motion around a joint is increased.

Hormonal Changes - Your body increases its production of various hormones responsible for regulating energy production. During warm up this balance of hormones makes more carbohydrates and fatty acids available for energy production.

Mental Preparation - The warm up is also a good time to mentally prepare for an event by clearing the mind, increasing focus, reviewing skills and strategy. Positive imagery can also relax the athlete and build concentration.

Typical Warm up Exercises include:

Gradually increasing the intensity of your specific sport. This uses the specific skills of a sport and is sometimes called a related warm up. For runners, the idea is to jog a while and add a few sprints into the routine to engage all the muscle fibers.
See: How Long to Warm Up

Adding movements not related to your sport in a slow steady manner: calisthenics or flexibility exercises for example. Ball players often use unrelated exercise for their warm up.

Which to choose? The best time to stretch a muscle is after it has an increased blood flow and has increased temperature to avoid injury. Stretching a cold muscle can increase the risk of injury from pulls and tears. So you are better off doing gradual aerobic exercise before stretching. Keep in mind that the best time to stretch is after exercise because your muscles are warm and pliable with the increase of blood in them. Make sure your warm up begins gradually and uses the muscles that will be stressed during exercise.

Keep in mind that the perfect warm up is a very individual process that can only come with practice, experimentation, and experience. Try warming up in various ways, at various intensities until you find what works best for you.

Israel is asking the United States and other Western countries to apply pressure on a group of Scandanavian countries to withdraw their objections to the inclusion of Lebanese Shi'ite Muslim group Hizbullah on the European Union's list of terror organizations, according to a Monday-morning report by the Yisrael Hayom daily.
There has been significant progress in support of the Israeli demand in recent weeks but it has been stopped on account of an EU rule that all the decisions must be unanimous. Most of Israel's pressure has been on Sweden and Denmark.

AMC and Fox Television Studios have officially revived "The Killing" for Season 3 with stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman and showrunner Veena Sud all set to return.
But the most important news of all: "Season three will focus on a new case, which will be resolved over the course of 12 episodes." It's right there in the official announcement, they swear!
The announcement also provides a clue to what that new case will be: "A year after closing the Rosie Larsen case, Sarah Linden is no longer a detective. But when her ex-partner Stephen Holder's search for a runaway girl leads him to discover a gruesome string of murders that connects to a previous murder investigation by Linden, she is drawn back into the life she thought she'd left behind."
She tried to get out, and they pulled her back in! Just like "The Killing's" audience.
Filming for Season 3 begins Feb. 25 in Vancouver and it sounds like we're unlikely to see any of the other regulars from the "Who Killed Rosie Larsen days?," including Billy Campbell and Emmy nominee Michelle Forbes. (Good for them, really!)
Although there is no mention of Netflix in the official announcement, Deadline reports that there are ongoing negotiations with the online streaming service for a second window.
"I couldn't be happier to know that I will be returning to work with AMC, FTVS and Mireille and Joel on what is and has always been a passion project for me. To the fans that have supported the series, thank you for doing so. My team and I will work hard to deliver the best story that we can for season three," Sud said in the statement. So there you go.
Are you excited to watch another season of "The Killing"? And does knowing they promise to wrap up the case in a single season make a difference?

Was there anyone else out there who flipped on The L Word and wondered for a second if you were really on the correct channel? With the gun fight in catwalks of a warehouse, I didn't recognize it as the "Lay Down the Law" episode at first. Little did I realize it was Nikki's big, straight blockbuster we were seeing.
Spoiler alert begins here.
This episode made me think of my mother's scolding when my siblings and I would play during the summer when the air-conditioning was on and she didn't want the back door constantly opened. "In or out," she would yell. And so it was with this episode. The whole storyline revolves around being in or out.
Whether or not Nikki gets $8 million a movie or even works in the business depends on it. Whether Tasha stays in the military depends on it. Col. Davis fears it; Molly might be considering it.
The phrase "Lay Down the Law" seems more a demand with all the obvious issues of equality raised in the writing of this episode.
Take for example the fact that the "military code of conduct is very clear" pitted against the arm's length list of Tasha's honors and the fact that the military doesn't like to spend a lot of money retraining someone who can already do the job. It is obvious it is a backwards way of running a business. (Yes, the military is a business. Argue with me if you'd like.)
Beyond the analysis though, how great was it that Tasha finally opened up to herself and chose to be free to love? Col. Davis doesn't have that freedom and is clear she chooses personal sacrifice for others as her nobler cause.
Meanwhile, Bette is willing to sacrifice what she has with Jodi to see if she and Tina can work it out again. Obviously, it is a turn-on to recall that vacation when Bette was so sick she lost 10 pounds and Tina took care of her.
It wasn't much of a surprise to see Nikki give into her agent's request to go back to 1952 (as Jenny put it) and take a beard to the "Liquid Heat" premiere leaving Jenny outside.
However, we need to get Max back in the mix in order to reveal what he really knows about Adele. She's conniving and now promising that "no one who shouldn't be on that set is going to get on that set." Maybe she really is trying to take over Jenny's gig.
Finally, regarding Molly "going gay for Shane," I don't know. We'll see what this is really all about as the storyline moves forward. Is it really about doing it just to spite her mother?

my cadillac is running hot only when it sits still with the heat on
4 Answers
When a car is sitting, the revolutions of the engine are lower. The water pump is circulating less coolant through the radiator. The radiator has less cooling air since the car is not moving.
I agree with Tenspeed. Perhaps you can tell us what you have done thus far to cool down the engine. For example have you checked the anti freeze level, are there any leaks, checked the oil, or checked for water in the oil, is the fan belt tight...point is what cause and effect have you done?
if a northstar engine,check the pump drive on rear of bank 1 tension may be off small belt,
check ur cooling fans the sensors often go bad causing fan to only run with ac fan pulls air through radiator when sitting still dont need them when driving because the air is flowing plus water pump turns faster

S&P Worries about Deterioration in CRE Underwriting
Standard & Poor's has expressed concern about certain developing trends related to commercial mortgage-backed securities that could lead to higher risk for investors in future.
The credit rating agency said in a written release that it is seeing a deterioration in underwriting and origination standards for commercial mortgage loans; relaxed requirements for capital expenditure, tenant improvement and leasing commission reserves; a rise in interest-only loans or loans with interest-only periods; and "relaxed adherence" to structural and legal safeguards.
As well, the current CMBS landscape which is "characterized by increased liquidity, fierce competition, an influx of new buyers, and a CDO market-focused mindset has significantly altered the supply/demand dynamics of the market, possibly making future transactions more vulnerable to negative credit events," the rating agency reports.
While these trends are not yet a wider market concern, they are "looming on the horizon," according to Kim Diamond, a managing director in S&P's real estate finance group.
Expanding on the above concerns, S&P said that balloon-balance refinancing risk is likely to be a greater concern in a rising interest rate environment and with 10-year CMBS reaching the end of their lockout periods.
The rating agency is also seeing a "spate of new entrants into the loan origination market," which has spurred "fierce competition, leading to a gradual degradation of underwriting standards and criteria."
Originators, operating in what is widely seen as a borrowers' market, "have increasingly undertaken potentially troublesome practices, such as lending against the speculative value of a property." And the flow of capital to real estate, drawn by relatively attractive yields, has resulted in a "potential overinflation of property values," according to S&P.
As well, some originators are lending more money and have relaxed certain structural and legal safeguards, including a decreased use of "funded reserves and payment arrangements such as hard lockboxes."
The rating agency is also seeing a change in the market dynamics, with the increased liquidity having effectively reduced the clout of "B" piece buyers.
Ms. Diamond notes, "Whereas in the past, the small number of buyers could exert pressure on issuers, nowadays, demand has increased to the point that if one investor doesn't want to purchase a particular CMBS transaction, somebody else will step in and buy it."
Another concern is that subordinate and mezzanine investors can now "lay off risk into CDOs (collateralized debt obligations), instead of embracing a buy-and-hold strategy."
This means that is now possible for "B" piece buyers to have less "skin in the game."
Overall though, the rating agency is seeing credit support levels that are adequate and "appropriate on a historical basis."

The former Benfica defender has been ruled out of the Blues' latest match as they step up their preparations ahead of the new campaign against last season's La Liga runners-up
|Chelsea are 9/4 with Paddy Power to win the Premier League
The club confirmed via their official Twitter account that the centre-back is still carrying a hamstrong problem which ruled him out of the clash with Serie A side.
The ex-Benfica defender has been heavily linked with a summer move away from Stamford Bridge, with Goal revealing that Barcelona were preparing to bid £25 million to try to bring him to Spain.
However, Mourinho has stated the Brazil international will not be leaving the club although he conceded he hopes to help Luiz to improve his game defensively.

Brookfield Central beat Menomonee Falls, 10-6, and Brookfield East nipped Pewaukee, 6-5, today in the WIAA Sectional semi-finals at Germantown.
As a result, the teams will meet in a 5 p.m. sectional championship game at Germantown on Saturday, with the winner going to next week's WIAA state tournament on Wednesday and Thursday at Bukolt Park in Stevens Point.
Friday's title game had to be moved to Saturday because the first game of the day was an hour and a half late because of a rain delay.
The 4th-seeded Lancers (21-11) used a 6-run fifth inning to hold off the top-seeded Indians (20-11) and rolled to a 10-6 win in the first game at Germantown.
Central led 3-2 through four innings as both teams scored in the first inning and then Matt Haralson of Central and Troy Kenkel of Falls shut down the offenses until the fifth.
The Lancers used five hits and three walks to score six runs in the fifth for a 9-2 advantage. Big rbis came with singles by Collin Dempsey, a squeeze bunt by Billy Calawerts and back-to-back bases loaded walks to Ryan Hinz and Collin O'Gorman. Connor Shipman, who started the inning with a walk, then ripped a 2-run double to top off the inning.
Falls then added four runs in the sixth, showing a never-say-die attitude, as AD Gonzales had an RBI grounder, Corey Volden an rbi single and Brett Krause had a 2-run double to cut the lead to 9-6. After Central added a run in the top of the seventh, Brad Leachy retired the side in the seventh for the win.
The Spartans (18-13) scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning when pinch runner Andy Wiesen raced in from third on a short wild pitch to score the game-winner in a 6-5 win.
Mike Erberle had walked to lead off the inning and Wiesen pinch-ran for him. After a pick-off attempt went astray, Wiesen moved to second. Brian Sylla was intentionally walked and Drew Kehoe was safe when the pitcher Jodan Hass made a wide throw on his sacrifice attempt.
With John Foley batting, Hass had a ball in the dirt go back to the screen. Wiesen hesitated, then raced for home to score as the ball, Wiesen and Haas arrived at the same time.
East led 3-1 when Pewaukee scored twice in the fifth on a 2-run double by Austin Kaatz to tie the game. But Pat O'Brien, who homered in the first inning, ripped a single to right scoring Brandt Rogers, who had walked and stole second to start the fifth.
Leading 5-3 in the seventh, the Pirates scored twice to tie the game, on two errors and a sac fly by Kaatz.
But then the Spartans scored off the Pirates (12-20) in their final at bat and handed them their ninth walk-off loss of the year.

The Benefits of Calcined Clay for Safe, Playable Fields
As the population has increased in the past decade, we have seen higher interest in sports and a dramatic increase in the number of new athletic fields. The resulting jump in athletic participation and field usage has also heightened the demand for safer and better playing surfaces. Long gone are the days when a baseball game was organized by laying out four big rocks on a vacant lot!
The design, management and maintenance of athletic fields have also changed dramatically. Many field managers, coaches and volunteers are often left wondering, "Without the staffing and the budget of a major league team, what's a person to do?"
One of the product categories that has helped improve field safety and playability the most is soil conditioners. As a broad group, soil conditioners are designed to serve as moisture management tools. Specifically, they are used to help maintain moisture deep in the infield mix and to help remove excess moisture in wet conditions.
There are many material types that are identified as soil or infield conditioners. Crushed aggregates, vitrified clay (shale), brick dust, diatomaceous earth and calcined clays are all marketed as infield conditioners. There are no specifications or minimum standards that must be met to be classified as an infield conditioner, so essentially any product that can absorb water or have water adhere to its surface can be marketed for this use.
While each of the above product types has an impact on moisture management to varying degrees, they are in fact vastly different. Variances in material composition, stability, weight and ultimately performance are pertinent. This is where calcined clay products clearly separate themselves from all others.
Managing Moisture
Turface® is recognized as the leading calcined clay product and most widely used infield conditioner in the industry. Turface calcined clay is a moisture management tool, used in conjunction with sound management practices to prevent fields from becoming oversaturated and slick, as well as dried out and hard. Many people ask, "How can a product be used to dry a field and at the same time retain moisture?"
It's best to envision the calcined clay particles like tiny sponges, full of small pores or internal storage sites. Turface boasts 74% internal porosity and can absorb its weight in water. When Turface particles are exposed to water, the moisture is absorbed into the internal storage sites.
So when it rains, excess water is sucked away from the infield clay and absorbed inside the Turface particle, helping to eliminate rainouts. This will continue until a balance has been reached between the moisture in the infield mix and the moisture inside of the Turface particle.
As time passes and the field begins to dry, the Turface particle gradually releases the stored moisture back into the surrounding infield mix. Turface helps keep the moisture level at just the right amount, and for a longer period of time than other mixes. When Turface reaches "field capacity" or can't hold any more water, it allows the excess to drain through. In fact, Turface drains faster than sand. The result is a product that can be added to the infield mix to help manage water and store moisture deep in the soil profile, time and time again.
Weight vs. Volume
It is important to recognize that conditioners are added by volume rather than by weight. Even though the materials are sold by the ton and packaged in 50-pound bags, product is incorporated by the 5-gallon bucket, a wheelbarrow full, by the loader bucket or by the cubic yard. For this reason, it is important to consider the bulk density of a product. In other words, how much does it weigh per given unit?
This allows for the calculation of the cost of an item on a volumetric basis or cost per cubic yard. It is especially important when comparing products that have different weights. Infield conditioners have varying bulk densities. Vitrified clay and crushed aggregates are heavier than calcined clay – twice as heavy in some cases. So if it takes one bag of Turface to fill up a wheelbarrow, it will take two to three bags of vitrified clay or aggregate to fill the same wheelbarrow. Even though Turface calcined clay may be more expensive per pound, it ultimately costs less to fill the wheelbarrow.
As all infield conditioners are different, there are also many variances within the calcined clay category. Turface has a lower bulk density, up to 40% lighter in some cases, than other calcined clays. That means that you need to purchase 14 bags of a competitive calcined clay infield conditioner to equal the same usable material (volume) of 10 bags of Turface.
Product impurities and contaminants in all lesser quality conditioners can lead to higher bulk densities. Not only do impurities and contaminants increase the product weight (reducing the usable material per bag), they also negatively impact the performance of the product by reducing its porosity.
Only Turface provides the industry's leading rate of water absorption for superior moisture management and ultimate value.

Types of treatment for ovarian cancer
This page gives an overview of treatments for ovarian cancer. You can find the following information
Types of treatment for ovarian cancer
Your specialist team will plan your treatment according to the type of ovarian cancer you have, the stage, the grade and your general health.
Almost all women with ovarian cancer will need surgery. The amount of surgery will depend on the stage and type of cancer. Most women with epithelial ovarian cancer are diagnosed with advanced disease and have a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. You may have chemotherapy after surgery, or both before and after surgery.
If you have a very advanced cancer, it may not be possible for a surgeon to remove it. You may also not be well enough for a big operation. You can have chemotherapy to shrink the cancer as much as possible and to slow it down. For some women, biological therapy treatments can control the cancer for a time. Radiotherapy is sometimes used to relieve symptoms depending on where in the body the cancer has spread.
You can view and print the quick guides for all the pages in the treating ovarian cancer section.
The main treatments for ovarian cancer are surgery and chemotherapy.
Almost all women with ovarian cancer will need surgery. The amount and type of surgery you have will depend on your stage and type of cancer. The information in this section is about treating epithelial ovarian cancer. For some women with very early stage ovarian cancer, surgery is the only treatment you need.
Most women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed with advanced disease and have a combination of both surgery and chemotherapy. You may have chemotherapy after surgery, or both before and after surgery.
You may find that other women you meet with ovarian cancer are having different treatment from you. This may be because they have a different type of ovarian cancer. Or it may be that their cancer is a different stage. Don't be afraid to ask your doctor or nurse any questions you may have about your treatment. It often helps to write down a list of questions you want to ask. You could also take a close friend or relative with you when you go to see the doctor - they can help you remember what was said.
You are most likely to be treated by a team of specialist doctors working together, known as a gynaecology oncology team. This will include a surgeon who specialises in treating women's cancers (a gynaecological oncologist) and a medical cancer specialist (an oncologist). It should also include a gynaecological cancer specialist nurse, who can give you information about treatment and any support you may need.
National guidelines recommend that women with ovarian cancer have their treatment in a specialist gynaecology cancer centre, where these specialist gynaecology oncology teams are usually based. So you may not be able to go to your local hospital and might need to travel to your nearest cancer centre for your treatment.
If you have only seen a surgeon, you should ask to see a cancer specialist (oncologist) before your treatment plan is finalised.
The team looking after you will plan your treatment according to a number of factors, including
- The type of ovarian cancer you have
- Whether the cancer has spread (the stage)
- What the cells look like under the microscope (the grade)
- Your general health
Your doctor may not be able to tell you exactly what type or stage your cancer is until after your surgery. During the operation, your surgeon will examine the inside of your abdomen. They will take tissue samples (biopsies) to check whether the cancer has spread.
If you have a borderline ovarian tumour or a very early cancer (stage 1a) that is low grade, you may only need to have the affected ovary and fallopian tube removed. As the unaffected ovary and your womb are left behind, you may still be able to have children in the future. Your surgeon will take biopsies from several areas within your abdomen and pelvis during surgery to fully stage your cancer. If there are cancer cells in any of these samples, you may need another operation to remove the rest of the cancer.
If you have had your menopause, or do not want to have any more children, your surgeon may advise that you have both ovaries and your womb taken out. Women with a borderline tumour or very early cancer may not need any other treatment after surgery.
The aim of surgery for early stage ovarian cancer (stage 1) is to remove the cancer and fully stage the disease. Knowing the stage helps your doctor decide if you need treatment after surgery.
For most women with stage 1 ovarian cancer, you will have surgery to remove your
- Ovaries
- Fallopian tubes
- Womb (including the cervix)
Read more about surgery for early ovarian cancer.
After surgery, your doctor may suggest you have chemotherapy if there is a high risk of the cancer coming back. For example if you have stage 1c or a high grade (grade 3) cancer. This is known as adjuvant chemotherapy.
Stage 2, 3 and 4 ovarian cancers are classed as advanced. This means the cancer has spread away from the ovary. Some advanced cancers may be cured with surgery and chemotherapy. If your cancer can't be cured, the aim of treatment is to control the cancer for as long as possible.
You may have surgery as the first treatment for your cancer. The surgeon removes as much of the cancer as possible. This is called debulking. Whether you have surgery or not will depend on a number of factors, including
- Where the cancer has spread to
- Your general health
- How quickly the cancer is growing
Read more about surgery for advanced ovarian cancer.
After you have recovered from surgery, you will have chemotherapy. If the surgeon was able to remove all your cancer, the aim of chemotherapy is to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back. If the surgeon couldn't take out all the cancer, then the aim of chemotherapy is to shrink the cancer that has been left behind. Some women may then have further surgery.
From looking at the scans you had at diagnosis, your surgeon may decide in advance that it would not be possible to remove all the cancer. In this case, you may have chemotherapy before surgery. This is to shrink the cancer and make it easier to remove. Chemotherapy before surgery is called neo adjuvant (pronounced nee-oh-ad-joo-vent) or primary chemotherapy.
Scans during chemotherapy
With primary chemotherapy, you have a scan halfway through the course. If the cancer is shrinking, you will then have surgery. You may hear your surgeon call this interval debulking surgery or IDS. After the surgery, you have the rest of the course of chemotherapy.
Biological therapy
For some advanced cancers, you may have a type of biological therapy called bevacizumab with chemotherapy. Women with gene changes called BRCA1 or BRCA2 may have a drug called olaparib if chemotherapy is no longer controlling their cancer.
If surgery isn't possible
If you have a very advanced cancer, it may not be possible for a surgeon to remove it. You may also not be well enough for a big operation. You can have chemotherapy to shrink the cancer as much as possible and to slow it down. You may have radiotherapy to relieve symptoms, depending on where in the body the cancer has spread.
Clinical trials
Your doctor may suggest having treatment as part of a clinical trial. You can read about taking part in trials and how to find a clinical trial in our trials and research section.
Making decisions about treatment
You will need time to think about your options for treatment. And you will need support from your family as well as your doctor in making your decision. There is information about making treatment decisions on the page about treating advanced ovarian cancer.
Some people feel they would like to get an opinion from a second doctor before they decide about their treatment. If a surgeon who specialises in women's cancer (gynaecological oncologist) is treating you, you should also get an opinion from a cancer specialist (oncologist) about whether you need chemotherapy. Most doctors are happy to refer you to another NHS specialist for a second opinion if you would find this helpful.
Note: A second opinion means just that. It does not mean that the second doctor will take over your care. Your treatment will usually still be managed by your original specialist. And if you want a second surgical opinion, you need to make sure that it is from someone who specialises in ovarian cancer surgery, and not a general gynaecologist.

the location is awesome, but the place isn't nice at all. very small, and they wont even have towels included either bring your own or buy one from them for 2 bucks. The bunk beds shake all the time (more than normal), the matress is somehow comfortable. There is no AC (at least in my room) and the shower handles are loose and sometimes dont work so you cant use them properly i almost burned myself once. On the bright side they let you leave your luggage after checkout without any problem.

In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention clip may not have been properly installed. As a result, without prior warning the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving. This would result in loss of engine power to the drive wheels. Dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage.

From the book jacket: Many long
years have passed since the winter of blinding white when
Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate drove across the
hushed midwestern landscape and left a trail of blood and
pain. So why does Lowell, a Manhattan collector of
antiquities, still dream of what happened, despite his wife's
best attempts to draw him back and offer comfort? And who is
Susan, the teenager who appoints herself a detective, piecing
together the story of the murders while wondering if she'll
ever be loved like Starkweather loved his girl? And then
there's Caril Ann herself, who takes us back to relive the

Now, readers of this paper, like anyone else, no doubt enjoy discovering that Tony Blair likes tinny, teeny bands more than grown-up ones, just as much as they enjoy peering into his living-room and admiring the ruched curtains and frilly-edged cushions. But we are a week into the election campaign (yes, you have nearly six whole weeks left to go!) and voters could be forgiven for feeling that the whole thing seems just a mite phoney.
So far the most substantial matters of comment - aside from the serious allegations of sleaze - include The Sun's decision to support Tony Blair, and the continuing palaver surrounding the on-off off-on television debate.
Is it merely coincidence that these two events are entirely media-related? Could it be that the whole business of election campaigning is self-reflexive? Politicians arrange meaningless events for reporters and broadcasters to go along and write meaninglessly about them, conveniently locking the whole campaign into a closed spiral.
Well, although you might be forgiven for thinking that, it is not entirely true. The exclusion of useful argument also has a great deal to do with the desire of these particular politicians, at this particular moment, to avoid confronting the harder questions. A few examples will suffice.
Today is the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome - a momentous event in our history, and in the history of Europe. The Treaty's ambitions live on in daily form. Indeed, for the past year we have legitimately been expecting a ding-dong debate the moment the campaign began about Britain's future in Europe. How naive we were. The Conservatives desperately want to avoid discussing Europe as far as possible, since it merely highlights their divisions, and risks someone speaking out of line. Moreover, any Cabinet member uttering his or her own independent views on Europe is liable to be accused of campaigning in the post-election election for the Tory leadership.
Mr Blair, by contrast, could very easily conduct an interesting debate on Europe, and our future in it. But he would rather not, because he needs to sound sceptical with one audience (The Sun's leader writers and editors) while promising a committed European engagement to others (most of our business establishment).
Here's another example. Yesterday we reported (correctly, as will eventually become clear) that the Labour Party is considering how to close uneconomic hospitals and divert funds elsewhere in the health service. As it happens, this is an excellent plan. What happens? Chris Smith, Labour's health spokesman, responds with hot denials. Why? Because he is worried that the Tories will pounce on it. In fact, it took long enough, but eventually Central Office clicked, and called a press conference to claim that Labour was going to close a specific list of hospitals in sundry constituencies, and that they would be telling local voters all about it.
In other words, Labour ducked the argument, and the Tories twisted it. Now, isn't there something just typical going on there?
What else? Today readers of our front page today learn that a close look at the Tory plans for the public finances over the next three years shows that the Conservatives are actually planning steep cuts in spending on education and training, along with cuts in Home Office-funded services, to cover growing social security costs. If Labour wins the election, it will have to find that money from somewhere. But does anyone dare talk about this in the open?
Anyone going about their daily business in the past few days will surely have had several conversations along the lines of, "oh, I'm bored with this already. I don't know how we'll manage six more weeks of it."
One reason, clearly, is that too many people have already decided that Labour is so far ahead, that the conclusion is foregone, and that therefore everything that happens between now and 30 April is so much wet flannel. That attitude enables politicians to approach the entire campaign in the spirit of evasion: all Labour's energy will go into avoiding mishaps. In reality, though, these first two weeks before Easter were always likely to have been an artificial campaign, taken only half-seriously because everyone knows that the British public's attention span for election campaigns is understandably and sensibly limited. It does not mean that anyone should allow the rest of the campaign to be conducted in this manner.
The best hope is that the Tories take their fight energetically but with a little honesty into the Labour camp, and that the rest of us look hard at Conservative plans, which we have mostly ignored as ''unlikely to happen''. So long as Mr Major is on his back foot, as he has been throughout the first week, neither of these things will happen. And that is why what the country needs right now is for the Conservative campaign to get into gear.

Body image, unhealthy eating patterns and low self esteem all affect the way we treat our bodies. Our bodies are meant to be there to protect us and make us feel safe; but sometimes we have a hard time taking the best care of ourselves in the way that would be best. Id like to help you gain insight to what is going on; to understand why you may be choosing choices that may be hurting you in some way. Lets explore and understand, while gaining skills so you can better function-wholesome with you body, mind and soul.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.
