It was my wedding anniversary in December. (Number 27.) I took a chance with the gift I bought my wife.
I say, "took a chance" because I bought her a Fitbit One activity tracker, and was a bit worried it would send the wrong message. I didn't want her to think I was saying she was too fat on our anniversary – because that was definitely not what I was saying.
Well, thankfully the gift wasn't misunderstood, and was a huge hit. A week later I bought one for myself. Basically, it's a device that keeps track of how active you are, mainly by counting how many steps you take throughout the day. And it syncs with an online database so you can keep track of your progress. I thought it would make for some good competition because the Fitbit app ranks your friends by how much activity they've done in the last week. It's me against the wife!
Tracking my activity was a revelation. I already knew that working from home led to less activity during the day, and I'd put on lots of weight. But the Fitbit spelled it out.
They recommend that the average person take 10,000 steps each day. Working from home, I only take 2,000. If I go to the shops or something, I might get up to 3,000 steps. I'm way behind.
I was determined to complete 10,000 steps a day. I was already sort of in the habit of going for a walk each day (in practice, I only actually did this a few times a week). So I'd start walking (normally around 10pm), and wouldn't stop until I reached 10,000 steps. And with only 2,000 steps or so completed before my walk, I'd be walking for more than an hour! Ouch!
So here I am a month later. I don't always complete 10,000 steps, but I'm normally close. I feel more educated about how sedentary my lifestyle had become, and I'm doing something about it. And I've realised that I can't leave most of my exercise till 10 o'clock at night!
So I'd love to hear your advice. This week I'm trying two shorter walks a day – one when I wake up, and one after dinner. But I need to find other ways of being more active throughout the day. What do you do? I love to hear your ideas!
And if you have a Fitbit, I'd love to add you to my friends list!
It looks cool, I'd actually need this as well and it has some interesting features, does it really do all the stuff they say on their page? Are you satisfied with it?
Edit: Damn, just saw that it's only available for US / Canada
I take long walks almost everyday.. It's far form enough, but i'm too lazy to do anything else.
Btw. happy anniversary.

I'm very happy with it. It works well, and the battery lasts a week or two. It syncs with my iPhone and shows helpful graphs, and you get a helpful summary of your progress right on the display of the device. I've also been using it to track my sleep, including how many times my sleep is broken during the night.

No, I'm in Australia, and they're everywhere here. Where are you?

We sound alike. Actually, I was a lot more active when I was younger.

Looks really nice, Adrian, shame it's not available in the UK. I'm on the verge of buying myself a Nike Fuel Band too but wanting to scope out competitor products first.
Not as cheap as in USA though, but still, this could be very useful.
Check out your "Local" Amazon Sites, like in Germany. I mean it´s possible to buy it through the "Offical" Site for Germany and also via Amazon. So maybe you guys can find it on "your" Amazon ..
btw, i think i´m going to get one, too !
Wow, there's a lot of interest in these devices. Fitbit also have a cheaper model – the Fitbit Zip – which is about half the price, but doesn't track your sleep.
I was also considering the Nike Fuel Band and Jawbone Up, but the Fitbit was cheaper (and more available in Australia), and I preferred a device I didn't have to wear on my wrist.
You just kicked me up the… and made me order my Fuel Band…
I need motivating to get my… into gear and exercise more!
I'm sure you're right that sitting here working in an office I'm doing nowhere near the physical activity that I should be!

Apparently this works 75% of the time. That is crazy.
34 Comments on "Put Your Number In My Phone"
now you why it was so easy for Ted Bundy
the other question is how many girls of that 75% put down their actual phone numbers…..
U would think in this day and age that girls would be wiser. In the 60 and 70's…I could see it happening, just like hitchhiking was normal…but not now a days…absolutely not. It's amazing how many girls are either desperate or stupid.
I had a guy give me a card at BYU outside the bookstore, but it was one of those, "You're breaking the dress code…report to your Bishop" cards. I was in a sports bra and biking shorts because I was cycling through campus to go to Outdoors Unlimited ON MY BIKE.
I grew up in Provo near BYU, the success of this is fully a cultural thing. Small town, super clean, everyone is in a huge ward (church) full of strangers coming and going, everyone trying to hook up and get married. This isn't that weird if you get this place.
I had a guy try to ask me out by giving me a card in the bookstore at BYU. So this doesn't surprise me at all. I think he was more surprised that it didn't work. He thought he was being so creative! 🙂
That first girl. LMAO shm
It is because he is cute, confident and girls like to be hit on.
@lostathorne that was the worst part! If some guy said that to me I would tell him to f- off.
Hmm… I would definitely say no go away, but I am married. If this was 7 or 8 years ago, and I was single, and the guy was hot… can't say I wouldn't give him my number. I think I probably would have.
I made the mistake of doing this with a coworker. I thought it would be work related. He started calling me "baby" and saying he "missed me." He totally creeped me out. I told him to back off, and he did. I learned my lesson though.
This is an old trick from the Mystery Method. It's a book written that claims to teach seductive techniques.
Similar to the Game, but more technical.
The phone trick is supposed to work very well – People will play with things put in their hands, just by habit and instinct.
By the way, the guys who wrote these tricks used them to hunt celebrity girls – And they're not attractive.
@Lucas, speaking of squeaky clean image, did you hear about the serial rapist finding victims on Christian Mingle?
Yup received the rejection hotline number a few times.
There used to be a rejection hotline that I would give as my phone number to guys that were jerks. They used to have numbers in different states but the only left now is 212-660-2245.
It was super fun. Especially when they'd try to call from the end of the bar a few minutes later.
Wouldn't work in NY; people barely slow down to say excuse me when they bump into you so you can forget about women even taking the time for him to even ask. Most girls would roll their eyes and keep walking.
Guys became hip to that wrong number thing a long time to ago. So ladies try this; if an annoying guy wants your number give him your father's number instead. Dads know how to deal with a holes
He was confident, not trying to hard, sure of himself, attractive, calm, dressed decently, had good hygiene from what I can see, there's not alot of reasons why a girl wouldn't give him their phone number. Guys have such a huge phobia about getting up the guts to talk to a girl, while they're wrestling with their nerves, some other guy is going to walk up and ask for their number in his phone! Guys rarely hit on girls, rarely, rarely, it's nice when a decent guy does talk to you in a non leg humping, non smarmy, human way.
Because I said so…ok.
And let's see this experiment with an ugly, awkward guy and see how it goes. This guy was very bold and everyone knows that confidence is an aphrodisiac.
Exactly Lucas.
Thank goodness one girl kind of balked but seriously they still all did it..What we saw at least. How many didn't say yes?
Whoops, mistype: 867-5309. Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to?
Just tell the guy your name is Jenny & put the phone number 967-5309 in there.
He did call a couple of them and verify it was their number. And I bet this wouldn't work as well at a different school. He was at BYU in Utah, which is a pretty squeaky clean place. The girls would assume he is just another nice Mormon boy. I doubt seriously he'd have as much luck at Columbia or another college located in a metropolitan area.
@lazyday – a strategy used many times by me and my girlies when we were single!
@lazyday603 – exactly. Assuming this is real, don't tell me these girls don't have a pizza # memorized for moments like these.
Who is to say the number isn't bogus? Putting bad info in there is not a bad strategy for shaking off unwanted suitors.
Meh. I feel like sometimes we do things without thinking when we are caught off guard. I just let some stranger take a picture of my baby because they asked. Plus this isn't that different than when people hand out business cards the moment they meet someone and that has a lot more information. In truth, we've all given out or taken numbers with no intention of calling of hearing from the person, and that is usually the end of it.
@Lynn Cloud, that's what I was thinking. LOL!
@Cathy. Good point about the college campus! I doubt this would work as well for these guys on the subway in NYC.
I think it wouldn't be as successful if the guys were 100 pounds overweight, slovenly dressed, had back acne, and were smelly…
This is why guys should never complain about not being able to pick up chicks. It's so easy.
If the guy were overweight, older or anywhere other than college campus, I don't think it would have worked as well.
I totally lol'ed when the guy looked away cuz he was about to laugh in the first girls face when she actually did it.

According to the Church Insurance Company, every month four congregations close their doors for good. Additionally, churches have the largest carbon foot print as they are the most underused space in the nation.
The Episcopal Church Building Fund is hosting its fourth annual ecumenical symposium to help leaders to use their church buildings as an asset, to become a thriving part of their communities.
A panel of five dynamic bishops will answer questions on leading radical change. A successful disposer of redundant real estate will share keys to keeping faith alive after a closure. Leaders of a nomadic churches will discuss the benefits of doing church without a building, and experts in building maintenance will bring ideas on how to save money and run a greener operation. And others will focus on making the building the hub of the community, and finding financial stability through creative use of real estate assets.
The Episcopal Church Building Fund, an independent, self-funded 501 c3 founded in 1880 and guided by a board of trustees, is the only national organization supporting congregational building projects and overseeing a revolving loan fund.

A new survey shows a high number of Utahns are satisfied with the Utah state courts.
Eighty-one percent of respondents ranked Utah's court system at "good to excellent" in a survey commissioned by the Utah Judicial Board this past summer.
In the same survey conducted in 2006, 78 percent of respondents rated the court system as "good to excellent."
Officials with the Judicial Council said in a news release that they commissioned the survey to determine the public's level of trust and confidence in the court system.
"The Judicial Council will use the data to look at how the courts can improve services to the public," said Utah State Court Administrator Dan Becker. "We will concentrate our efforts to improve communication to minority communities and work to minimize the barriers that are keeping the public accessing their courts."
Another key finding the Judicial Council discovered in the survey was a shift in how the public learns about courts. In 2006, 22 percent of participants said they relied on the Internet for information about the courts, compared to 51 percent in 2012.
Survey results also showed that economic barriers including the cost of hiring an attorney, time away from work and court fees did or would prevent some respondents from going to court.

Terrific slippers
By No-more-cold-feet Susan
from Ithaca, NY
These slippers are very fuzzy, warm, and easy to slip my feet into. They grip them comfortably but let me slip out of them when I want to. Both putting them on and taking them off can be done without reaching down. I love them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

no-sweat slippers
By Susan
from SW NM
I am so glad to have found slippers that don't make my feet sweat! I was cautious in my spending and bought the scuffs, in case they didn't work out. Now I wish I had purchased the full slipper! I wear wide shoes, and these fit just fine. The only downside is that the footbed could use more cushioning (that won't collapse), and a bit of arch support. They are very soft, not hot, a real pleasure.

Total Comfort

I bought these slippers for my wife. She repeatibly keeps thanking me for her "wonderful slippers". She wears them every chance she gets. She has other slippers, so I was worried about giving her these, but, I'm glad I did.

Much Better
By Bromono

Had bought 2 much inferior pairs of slippers. They left my feet cold and the bottoms were very slippery. I have not regretted one second since I slipped them these slippers on my feet on my feet..They are soft and warm and I like to wear them. I spent most of my time bare foot I had very hard feet these have made a difference in how my feet look and feel.Thank-you
Warm & cuddly, my wife loved them
By rafatch
from Princeton, MA
Great bedroom slipper for around the house. Just what is needed in the thrust of a New England winter. The slipper is of quality material & carefully sewn which should give it long lasting service. The size 5 fit perfectly allowing enough width for very comfortable wearing.
they last forever
By kathy
from ohio
I have had these slippser for 3 year, and wear them outside, and they still look and feel new. I just purchased several more pair for other family members, as they have been jealous of mine. Personally love them.

A ride as bold as the people who drive them. Camry Special Edition amplifies its good looks with standard 18-in. alloy wheels. With their machined finish surface and gloss-black accents, these stylish wheels are impossible to ignore.
Feel the difference as soon as you step inside. Custom floor mats feature the Camry Special Edition logo, and blue accents further complement the enhanced interior, helping set this Camry apart from the rest.
It's the details that make everyone take notice. In addition to a standard moonroof and smoked taillights, Camry Special Edition stands out with exclusive Special Edition badging. The blue accents on the badge match the interior, giving this Camry a unique style all its own.
An eye-catching exterior deserves an interior just as bold. 8-way power-adjustable SofTex®-trimmed front seats add style to the comfort with sport fabric surfaces, blue seat inserts and blue contrast stitching.
Blue ornamentation and trim adds a premium look to the dash, and the blue lighting in the meter cluster helps give this Camry a refined, sporty feel.
Camry Special Edition makes it easier to stay connected on the go with standard Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging. Simply place your Qi-compatible device on the charging area to keep your mobile tech powered up and ready to go.
People will ask, "What kind of car is that?" We designed the 2016 Camry for those who dare to be bold, and with its striking hood lines this is one ride that commands attention. So get inside—it's time to let everyone know you've arrived.
With a design just as bold as its performance, the aggressive grille on Camry SE, SE Hybrid and XSE makes one powerful impression.
Brighter light. More style. XLE's available LED headlights help light up the road, and the black sport trim bezels surrounding XSE V6's LED headlights add the right amount of attitude. And when the sun isn't shining, available LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) helps ensure you can't be missed.
Camry XSE comes standard with 18-in. alloy wheels. With their gloss-black finish and machined finish accents, get ready for stares.
Good looks and the power to back it up. Camry's available dual exhaust system has been tuned to provide optimized performance, helping you get the most out of your drive.
Driving enthusiasts will appreciate Camry's front sport seats. With side bolsters that cradle the driver and available Ultrasuede® seats, Camry delivers bold performance that helps you enjoy the drive even more.
Camry SE and XSE put the power at your fingertips with race-inspired paddle shifters. Mounted to the back of the steering wheel, these allow the standard 6-speed automatic transmission to be shifted manually. This system even matches revs with each downshift to help keep things smooth.
True performance pedigree is on display with Camry XSE's available sport leather-trimmed seats that feature Ultrasuede® inserts for maximum comfort. Available red contrast stitching throughout the cabin makes this one thrilling ride.
High style. Intuitive control. Camry's center stack makes it easy to access features like multimedia systems, available integrated navigation and available Entune® App Suite. And the available dual zone automatic climate control helps give you and your front-seat passenger custom levels of comfort.
Whether it's the sun, moonlit sky or a gentle breeze, Camry's available power tilt/slide moonroof lets you take it all in.
Come on in and get comfortable—Camry has got plenty of room. We sculpted cutaways in the seats and interior panels to help provide more knee and leg room for passengers front and rear. Up top, the headliner was shaped for greater head room throughout the cabin.
Camry's standard 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support helps you find your perfect driving position. And when the weather gets chilly, available heated front seats will help you stay warm and comfortable. It's comfort tailored to you.
Those passionate about sound will find plenty to love about Camry's available JBL® GreenEdge™ audio system. Ten speakers in eight locations, plus a subwoofer and amplifier, help keep your music sounding crystal clear.
LE and XLE's spacious cabin features available rich wood-grain-style accents at key touch points to further enhance your driving experience.
Keep outside noises outside. Using sound-imaging instruments, we pinpointed where road, wind and engine noise was entering the cabin, then took additional sound-absorbing measures to help create Camry's whisper-quiet ride.
Keep convenience safely within reach. With steering wheel-mounted controls, you're in command of your audio system and Bluetooth® -equipped mobile phone right from the steering wheel.
Start it up and go. With Camry's available Smart Key System, you can unlock the front doors and trunk, plus start your car with the push of a button—all without removing the key fob from your pocket or purse.
No wires. No mess. Total convenience. Available on Camry, the wireless charging system lets you simply place your Qi-compatible device on the nonslip surface to charge up wirelessly.
With Camry's available Entune® App Suite you can access Pandora® , Slacker Radio and iHeartRadio for music, make restaurant reservations with OpenTable®, and buy movie tickets with MovieTickets.com. Plus, get sports scores, stocks, traffic and weather — even fuel prices.
Get where you need to go more easily. Powered by HD Radio™, Camry's available traffic-monitoring feature provides real-time information on the traffic flow in your area. The available Entune™ Premium Audio with Integrated Navigation system can even help predict traffic or suggest an alternate route.
It's easy to stay informed with Camry's trip information screen. This convenient piece of tech shows your cruising range, average speed, elapsed time, fuel economy history and more.
Available advanced voice recognition gives you another way to easily access your navigation system, Bluetooth® hands-free phone and Entune® App Suite. All you have to do is speak normally—Camry will understand.
Keep track of the driving information you use most with Camry's standard Multi-Information Display. Easy to view from any angle, this customizable full-color screen shows features like incoming call information, available turn-by-turn navigation, current fuel economy, available Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) and more.
Camry Hybrid knows how to balance power for fuel efficiency. With Hybrid Synergy Drive®, the combined output of both the gas and electric motors is an impressive 200 hp. And because of its advanced design, lightweight materials and refined aerodynamics, you can go farther for less.
Camry Hybrid uses many smart technologies to help make your drive as efficient as possible. Hybrid LE offers up to an EPA-estimated 43 mpg city and the sporty Camry Hybrid SE offers up to an EPA-estimated 40 mpg city, so you don't have to sacrifice fuel economy for fun.
Camry Hybrid provides the tools to help you get the most efficient drive. The energy monitor displays the gas engine, the electric motor generator and hybrid battery. As conditions change, it provides real-time information showing how power is being routed to the drive wheels, or how the battery is being charged.
Driving a hybrid doesn't mean making sacrifices. In Camry Hybrid, the hybrid battery is neatly packaged in an area ahead of the trunk, behind the seats. By engineering the most efficient placement for the battery, we preserved more cargo space, meaning there's more room for your stuff.
The most important connection is the one with the road. Camry Hybrid uses advanced tire technology to increase inflation pressure, reducing tire rolling resistance and improving fuel efficiency.
Camry was designed to thrill. Its available 3.5-liter V6 puts 268 horsepower under your right foot, making it one powerful ride.
Camry is always up for some fun. With recalibrated springs, shocks and sway bars, and optimized Electric Power Steering (EPS), Camry's taut suspension delivers precision performance, a smooth ride and breathtaking handling.
Camry features a wider track that helps enhance agility and high-speed control. In other words, Camry offers more driving thrills than ever before. So go ahead, seek out those corners.
Turbulent air increases drag, which adds wind noise and reduces efficiency. Camry features small, specially placed design features called vortex generators to help smooth things out. Not only do these help Camry maximize its efficiency, they help keep things quiet inside the cabin too.
With its rewarding drive and optimal fuel economy ratings, Camry helps you make bold moves, responsibly. The 4-cylinder offers up to an EPA-estimated 35 highway mpg, and the sporty V6 offers up to an EPA-estimated 31 highway mpg.
When the available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) detects a vehicle, it illuminates a warning indicator on the appropriate sideview mirror to help you know when it's safe to change lanes. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) works in much the same way. When you slowly back out of a driveway or parking spot, it provides audible and visual indicators to warn you of approaching vehicles.
All Camry audio systems include a standard backup camera. Any time you put your Camry in Reverse, an image of what's visible to the camera will appear on the touch-screen display.
If an inadvertent lane departure is detected, the available Lane Departure Alert (LDA) system issues an audible warning and displays a warning on the instrument panel. It's one more way Camry helps look out for you.
A Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) comes standard on every new Camry, and on select models, the available Multi-Information Display (MID) shows the tire pressure for each individual tire. Should a tire or tires become critically underinflated, this system alerts the driver as to which one is low on air.
Camry is available with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) that automatically adjusts vehicle speed to help maintain a preset following distance between you and the vehicle directly in front of you.
In Camry, there are ten standard airbags for you and your passengers, including a driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, rear seat-mounted side airbags, and front and rear side curtain airbags.
Camry's available Pre-Collision System (PCS) works with the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) system to anticipate if a frontal collision is imminent. If so, under certain conditions, the system automatically applies the brakes.

Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale

Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale
Forest Lawn Memorial Park is a privately owned cemetery in Glendale, California. It is the original location of Forest Lawn, a chain of cemeteries in Southern California.
Forest Lawn was founded in 1906 as a not-for-profit cemetery by a group of businessmen from San Francisco. Dr. Hubert Eaton and C. B. Sims entered into a sales contract with the cemetery in 1912. Eaton took over the management of the cemetery in 1917 and is credited as being the "Founder" of Forest Lawn for his innovations of establishing the "memorial park plan" (eliminating upright grave markers) and being the first to open a funeral home on dedicated cemetery grounds. Eaton was a firm believer in a joyous life after death. He was convinced that most cemeteries were "unsightly, depressing stoneyards" and pledged to create one that would reflect his optimistic, Christian beliefs, "as unlike other cemeteries as sunshine is unlike darkness." He envisioned Forest Lawn to be "a great park devoid of misshapen monuments and other signs of earthly death, but filled with towering trees, sweeping lawns, splashing fountains, beautiful statuary, and ... memorial architecture" A number of plaques which state Eaton's intentions are signed "The Builder."
Most of its burial sections have evocative names, including Eventide, Babyland (for infants, shaped like a heart), Graceland, Inspiration Slope, Slumberland (for children and adolescents), Sweet Memories, Vesperland, Borderland (on the edge of the cemetery), and Dawn of Tomorrow.
For many decades the cemetery refused black, Jewish, and Chinese burialsSong of the Angels by William Bouguereau, 1881.
The Forest Lawn Museum at Glendale was founded in 1957 and displays art, artifacts and also regularly hosts rotating fine art exhibits. The museum has hosted solo exhibitions for Henri Matisse, Winslow Homer, Ian Hornak, Goya, Rembrandt, Marc Davis and Reuben Nakian among many others.[citation needed] The objects in Forest Lawn's permanent collection represent specific locations and peoples from around the world. There are sections for India, Africa, the Middle East, East and Southeast Asia, the United States, South America, Australia and Europe. Perhaps the most famous object owned by Forest Lawn's permanent collection is William Bouguereau's 84x60 inch, oil on canvas painting, "Song of the Angels" created in 1881 and regarded as one of the most important examples of Bouguereau's work in United States. The permanent collection also includes one of the largest and most well respected stained glass collections in North America with over 1000 pieces primarily from France and Germany dating from 1200 a.d. through present. The stained glass collection includes portions of William Randolf Hearst's former collection and owns the work of Albrecht Dürerand Viet Hirsvogel the Elder. The Museum also houses Western bronze sculptures, American historical artifacts, paintings, actual examples of every coin mentioned in the Bible, exact replicas of the British crown jewels, world cultural artifacts and one of the Easter Island statues, rescued from the bottom of a boat where it was used as ballast. It is named "Henry".A copy of Michelangelo's David
The six Forest Lawn cemeteries contain about 1,500 statues, about 10% of which are reproductions of famous works of art, in various locations. Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper has been recreated in stained glass in the Memorial Court of Honor 'in vibrant, glowing and indestructible colors.' There are also a number of full-sized reproductions of other Renaissance sculptures, including Michelangelo's David and Moses. This cemetery is the only place in the world containing a complete collection of replica Michelangelo sculptures, which were made from castings taken from the originals and using marble from the same quarries in Carrara, Italy as used by Michelangelo.
Some of the inspiration at Forest Lawn is patriotic rather than pious, such as the Court of Freedom, with its large mosaic of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and a 13-foot (4.0 m)-high statue of George Washington. On display in the "Hall of the Crucifixion" is the panoramic painting by the Polish artist Jan Styka entitled "The Crucifixion." It is the largest permanently mounted religious painting in the world, measuring 195 feet (59 m) in length by 45 feet (14 m) in height. The main gates of Forest Lawn – Glendale are claimed to be the world's largest wrought-iron gates.Mosaic of Trumbull's Declaration of Independence
Forest Lawn has three non-sectarian chapels: "The Little Church of the Flowers", "The Wee Kirk o' the Heather" and "The Church of the Recessional", which are all exact replicas of famous European churches. Over 60,000 people have actually been married here, including Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman.
More than 250,000 people are buried at Forest Lawn, and over a million people visit it each year, including thousands of schoolchildren on field trips.
The Forest Lawn – Hollywood Hills Cemetery is a second park solely dedicated to the preservation of American history.
Forest Lawn's 300 acres (1.2 km2) of intensely landscaped grounds and thematic sculptures were the inspiration for the biting commentary of Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel The Loved One and Jessica Mitford's acerbic The American Way of Death. Many commentators have considered Forest Lawn to be a unique American creation, and perhaps a uniquely maudlin Los Angeles creation, with its "theme park" approach to death.
The Great Mausoleum was fashioned after Campo Santo in Genoa, Italy and contains many of the most highly sought after interment places within Forest Lawn, Glendale. Within the portion of the Great Mausoleum accessible to the public is the Court of Honor where individuals are inducted as "Immortals" by Forest Lawn's Council of Regents. The rest of the structure is protected by guards and is not accessible by the public. Time magazine described it as the "New World's Westminster Abbey". In 2009 the cemetery became the focus of intense media interest surrounding the private entombing of Michael Jackson in the privacy of Holly Terrace in the Great Mausoleum

Why, then, is there so much friction within the world of cycling? In my 30+ years, I've witnessed the "us vs. them" mentality more times than I care to remember. Just off the top of my head, I've seen: BMXers vs. fixed-gear freestylers; Roadies vs. mountain bikers; Bike geeks vs. "fashionistas"; Gearies vs. fixies; Commuters vs. racers; Vehicular cyclists vs. fans of road infrastructure.

By Julie Muhlstein Herald Writer
LYNNWOOD — Fun is usually the aim when kids get together for a sleepover. Pizza, movies and video games are often in the plans. Friday night was different, more enlightening than fun. Teens spent a night learning about homelessness.
About 30 high school students slept on the floor at the Volunteers of America Learning Center after an evening that began with a soup-kitchen dinner.
They heard from speakers who help homeless people through their work, and listened as a 9-year-old described staying at an Everett shelter.
Most sobering of all, the teens temporarily assumed identities of homeless people looking for help.
"You'll get a character card — a new life," Leann Geiger, director of food bank services for Volunteers of America Western Washington, told the teens at Friday's Camp-In to Fight Homelessness and Hunger.
Amberly Khamsaly, a 17-year-old from Sultan High School, was saddened when she looked at her character's card. "She's 27 years old, pregnant, unemployed, uses cocaine, and has a GED but no ID," Khamsaly said. "I don't know what to think. It makes me sad."
Among other new identities were homeless veterans, parents living with children in cars, and people who had lost their jobs and housing.
"The idea is to bring high school students together to experience what it is to be homeless, what it is to be hungry, and help them become part of a solution," said Sharon Paskewitz, the local VOA's director of housing and transitional services. "We tried to give them as much experience as we can in a safe environment."
The educational event was also a fundraiser. Students gathered pledges, "like a bowl-a-thon," said Michelle Fogus, VOA communications and marketing manager. One teen raised $451, Fogus said.
Camp-In pledges totaled $2,823, said Kathleen Dale, VOA outreach manager. That money will support Volunteers of America food banks and the agency's housing programs. The event was a first for the agency. Some of the students are part of the VOA's Youth Action Team volunteer program.
Scavenger hunts are typical of slumber parties. The Camp-In had one, but with a twist. With their character cards, the teens joined in a scavenger hunt for services. Booths were set up on two floors of the building, with volunteers representing agencies that offer shelter or housing, jobs, food, transportation, child care, health services and mental health counseling.
"The thing about the scavenger hunt, it's really about frustration," Paskewitz said. "At every booth, they'll have to tell their story again — 'Why are you homeless?'"
Teens had to stop at each booth, waiting in lines, filling out paperwork, and getting check marks showing whether or not they obtained services.
Zhayne Curdy, 17, from Lake Stevens High School, succeeded in getting medication and mental health help for his character, a 61-year-old homeless man with anger issues and post-traumatic stress.
But Miranda Beaupre, 17, a Sultan High School student, wasn't so lucky. Her alter ego, a grandmother with heart problems caring for an 8-month-old grandson, had lost her senior housing and learned there was no room at a women's shelter.
"The unfortunate thing is, we do have to turn people away," said Sam Scoville, a VOA program manager for housing. "These kids are having to tell their story over and over. This helps them understand what it's like."
Speakers at the Camp-In included Everett firefighter Brent Weir and Chris Green, a mental health counselor. Green explained that many chronically homeless people suffer from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. "They can't cope with everyday life," he said.
"We definitely see the effects of homelessness," Weir told the students. He said fire crews often respond to 911 calls about people on the streets affected by drugs or alcohol. "As firefighters, we work to save a life. Longer term, unless they get help it's a revolving door. It's really sad, heartbreaking," Weir said.
Faith Simonelli, a VOA housing manager, introduced the last speaker, Avi Unger, a third-grader living at the Interfaith Association's Family Shelter in Everett. The girl told the group she stayed with her mother and teenage brother in their car, sleeping in parking lots, for a month before coming to the shelter.
"I'd sleep in the back seat, my mom and brother in the front seat," Avi said.
Before staking out floor space for the night, teens who were only pretending to be homeless were told they wouldn't be sleeping in Saturday morning. "We'll wake them up at 5 a.m. They'll have to organize all their belongings and be ready to go. They'll get a cup of hot chocolate and a doughnut," Paskewitz said.
"If this truly was a shelter, they wouldn't have a place to go," Fogus said.

Jury duty typically involves filling out forms, waiting at the courthouse and answering questions from attorneys. Might it one day also include a brain scan? Recent research conducted by scientists from Caltech and Japan suggests it's a possibility.
The researchers found through MRI scans that sympathy for a defendant and leniency during sentencing strongly correlates to heightened activity in a tiny region of jurors' brains.
The research was based on occurrences in Japan.
Japan was essentially without a jury system between 1943 and 2004. Once re-established, jury trials in Japan were set up a bit differently than in the United States. In Japan, the jury determines both if someone is guilty of a crime and how long they will be sentenced to prison. In the U.S., juries are only involved in sentencing if a death sentence is to be handed out.
Colin Camerer, the Robert Kirby professor of behavioral finance and economics at Caltech, said the Japanese system requires jurors to do two contradictory things. During the phase of the trial when jurors are determining whether someone is guilty, they are expected to leave their emotions at the door and look at the cold, hard facts.
But during the sentencing phase, they are expected to weigh the factors that led the defendant to commit the crime, essentially putting themselves in that person's shoes and feeling what they felt.
"In the sentencing phase, it's different. You're told you're allowed to use sympathy," Camerer said.
Because many Japanese have had little-to-no experience with serving on a jury, the scientists wanted to see if the average citizen was up to the task.
"Can Japanese brains make good jury decisions?" asked Camerer.
Researchers presented test subjects with two types of trials, Camerer said. The first featured a highly sympathetic defendant - a husband who killed his wife to end the suffering caused by her cancer, for example.
The second type featured an unsympathetic defendant, such as a man who killed his ex-wife out of revenge.
The faux jurors were then loaded into an MRI machine and asked to sentence the defendants while scientists peered into their brains.
What they found was the jurors who were most likely to provide a short sentence for the sympathetic killer and a long sentence for the unsympathetic killer showed heightened activity in the insula, a small piece of the brain involved in feeling emotional and physical pain.
Camerer calls the insula the "ambassador to the brain, particular with discomfort."
The insula not only allows the brain to process a person's own emotions and discomfort, it helps them understand the feelings of others, Camerer said.
"When somebody says `I feel your pain,' it's a literal brain interpretation of what it means," he said. "The definition of sympathy is feeling what someone else feels."
Camerer said the research indicates that despite Japan's short history of having jury trials, jurors are perfectly capable of providing punishments that fit the crime.
But he also said it raises the question of whether jurors who are naturally wired to strongly feel sympathy are capable of ignoring their emotions while trying to make an objective decision about guilt or innocence.
"The hardest things by far are where you have a celebrity defendant, rape cases, racially charged cases," Camerer said. "We should be able to say this juror is going to be good at it and this juror is going to be bad at it. Those are things we might be able to measure."
Prosecutors and defense attorneys already ask questions of potential jurors to narrow down the pool to only the most capable individuals - at least in theory - but Camerer wondered if that system is enough.
"We should ask the brain instead of asking the person," Camerer said.
Neal Curatola, an Anaheim-based defense attorney, said the idea of looking at brain activity when selecting a jury might take the justice system into "scary area."
He worried that prosecutors might use such scans to eliminate "otherwise competent jurors."
"Picking a jury isn't an exact art. It isn't a science. It was never intended to be," Curatola said. "Maybe I'm old school."
El Monte Mayor Andre Quintero, a prosecutor in the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, called the concept "Orwellian," but was a bit more receptive to it.
"The application of science in selecting a fair and impartial juror provides a whole new opportunity for a conversation," Quintero said. "It's an interesting conversation for the criminal justice system to have."
But Camerer said the legal system is "skeptical" of such innovations, so brain scans aren't likely to become a legal tool any time soon.
"Is this going to happen? Probably not in our lifetime," he said.

I agree that artificial intelligence is unlikely, but I won't use words like "impossible."
I say it's not possible because that would mean the mind is actually made of insentient elements and bound to a fixed causality. Intelligence requires the ability of reflection, to be able to review, modify and adapt. In short, this is called self-awareness. The mind is not bound to any fixed idea or system, that's why it is basically free, open, empty. If you program something, it means there is a fixed system and that sets its boundaries, it is not open.

Are your business phone and toll free numbers memorable in two seconds or less? If they aren't, then you are throwing away a huge portion of your marketing budget.
Whether it is your toll free number on a billboard, direct mail piece, TV ad, or your website, if your number cannot be remembered in two seconds or less, your message is often rendered ineffective. Two seconds is even actually very generous for most types of advertising and prospects. How many times have you seen a TV commercial or heard a radio ad for a product or service you really wanted or needed, yet the number was too complex to remember in time? What good did the ad do, really? You can make all the excuses you want about getting your business name out there or that customers will be sitting by the radio or TV with a pen in hand next time, etc. However, this is not going to put profits back in the bank and certainly isn't the way to maximize your marketing ROI. If you are going to market, then do it right. If you do not put the effort and wisdom you have into making the most of your marketing, then you shouldn't be surprised when you start losing market share.
You can hold focus groups to test how memorable your number is, though it is pretty much common sense. Short and straight to the point is the best. Trying to squeeze in extra numbers or words that result in odd spelling probably are not going to be as effective as something similar that can be said in one word. There are no excuses for not having a winning vanity number any more. The days of having to wait on the phone for hours with a phone company trying to figure out a great and available toll free number are long gone. The leading toll free service providers now provide tools that allow you to search and return vanity numbers in an instant.

1 Introduction
Weblogs Forum: Fluid Programming in Lucid -- good examples, and very good links.
Lucid page written by Bill Wadge, including an excerpt from Lucid Primer book.
Wikipedia article (yet a stub, but useful links).
2 Details
The most detailed online material on the details of this language I could find: Raganswamy Jagannathan, Chris Dodd. GLU programmer's guide (downloadable as the 4th paper of GIPSY Publications). The first pages seem to discuss other problems, but it is worth of read further, because a detailed description of Lucid's syntax and semantics is hiding inside this paper (section 3.1.2 on pages 22--38). This paper is part of the Gipsy Project Home Page (GIPSY: A General Intensional Programming System).
3 Implementation
A fast-food implementation:
A better implementation could be written using the arrow library available at the Downloads page of Arrows: A General Interface to Computation written by Antony Courtney, Henrik Nilsson and Ross Paterson.
A professional approach based on comonads: see The Essence of Dataflow Programming paper written by Tarmo Uustalu. Comments on this paper can we read in Lambda the Ultimate (but the link given there seems to be broken).

Camino: Ten Thoughts on Indians Opening Series
(TORONTO) – The Cleveland Indians dropped the final game of their season-opening three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays Thursday night losing 10-8 at the Rogers Centre. However, the Tribe still managed to escape Canada with a series victory winning on Opening Night 4-1 and Wednesday evening 3-2 in 11 innings.
I was on hand for all three games in Toronto and here are just a few of the things I pondered while covering the entire series.
Below are ten quick thoughts on the Tribe's opening series in Toronto:
1. Winning formula: Not so much in the series-finale, but the Indians blue print for winning was on display in the first two games of the three-game set. The Tribe received two quality starts from both Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez and the bullpen did the rest. Yes, Chris Perez did make a mistake in the ninth inning of the middle game to Jose Bautista, but for the most part the bullpen really did a nice job. Even Perez was solid after giving up the homer to get the game to extra innings. So what's the recipe for victories? Hope the Indians starting pitcher can go six strong innings, let the trio of Joe Smith, Vinnie Pestano and Perez take over the rest of the way. In the meantime, scoring runs does not appear to be a problem with this group.
2. Noticeable defense: It might be a small sample-size, but three games was enough to show that this Indians baseball team will be very good defensively. The speed of Michael Bourn, Michael Brantley and Drew Stubbs was evident in the outfield, while the infield showed it probably will not even miss Jack Hannahan or Casey Kotchman who were tremendous with their gloves. Speed in the outfield is crucial for any club, but Tribe fans and pitchers will definitely enjoy having three center fielders track down balls for them.

3. Bottom of the order: The fact that the Tribe's 7-8-9 hitters are Mark Reynolds, Lonnie Chisenhall and Drew Stubbs shows just how talented this lineup can be this season. Some believe Reynolds should be higher in the order, but the 7-hole allows the slugger to provide pop for the bottom half while not costing the Tribe too many rallies if he happens to strike out. Hitting lower in the lineup does not carry much pressure and the quickness of Stubbs in the 9-hole gives the Indians a "second lead-off". Chisenhall can focus on not doing too much while still having an opportunity to drive in runs. This is a much better lineup than a year ago and because of it, you will see this team score more runs.
4. Dr. Smooth: Love his approach and love the way he is continuing to swing the bat. Brantley was hot during spring camp and it has carried into the regular season. Will he continue to hit over .800 this season? Of course not; but having him hit in the 5-hole re-sets the Tribe's lineup in the middle of the order and he is definitely a guy who can drive in runs despite lacking extreme home run power. I still feel like power will come for Brantley…but for now, driving the ball to all parts of the field will do for the young left fielder.
5. Struggles for Myers: If I begin to panic on April 4 about a pitcher, something is wrong with me…seriously. However, with that said, veteran right-hander Brett Myers carried his poor spring into his first outing Thursday night at the Rogers Centre. Myers pitched five innings, allowing seven hits and seven runs, while not recording a strikeout and walking two. Did I mention that the Blue Jays belted four moonshot bombs off of him? It's only one outing, but the pattern that began showing in spring training with Myers has carried into the regular season…at least for now.

6. Arguing: Terry Francona went out to argue a call at second base in the fourth inning of Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays. Jose Reyes stole second base but it appeared Tribe shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera had tagged him out. After a brief chat with the umpire Francona retreated back to the Indians dugout. That is something Tribe fans did not see much of with former manager Manny Acta and it bothered players on the team more than I ever realized until after he had been fired.
7. Crazy currency: OK, this thought has nothing to do with baseball. The Canadian currency has me all confused. So confused I can't wait to get back to the United States. Talk about confusing! Some people love American money here, some people hate American money. Some cab drivers take American money, some do not. It is very odd. Ever seen a $2 coin? Oh, they have them. It's named after a duck! I'm terrified to use my cell phone and my credit card too. God Bless America! Get me outta here!
8. Expensive town: Oh another thing…since when did Toronto get mixed up for New York City?!?! The prices here are outrageous. I would never be confused for somebody cheap, but at the same time I will admit some of these prices are outrageous. $17 for a hamburger at lunch? $25 to park for 20 minutes or less? Yeah, that is what you will see in Toronto. Again, God Bless America.
9. Now to St. Petersburg: The next stop for the Tribe is St. Petersburg, Fla. where they will play a three-game weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays. I have written and talked at length about the beginning of this Indians schedule…it truly is a brutal measuring stick for this bunch. Having to play 13 straight games before an off day coupled with the fact that the contests are with the Blue Jays, Rays, Yankees, White Sox and Red Sox makes the beginning of the 2013 schedule very tough. One win at Tropicana Field would lock up a .500 road trip for the Tribe and in Major League Baseball winning as many on the road as you lose is always acceptable. A 3-3 record heading into the home opener vs. New York would be great…anything better would be icing on the cake.
10. Good series: Overall a very good series for the Indians here in Toronto. The Blue Jays appear to be a strong baseball team and the Tribe was able to take 2-of-3 in the opening three-game set. Heck, despite falling behind in the series-finale they gave themselves an opportunity to win the game before falling 10-8. A fine opening act for the Wahoos, we'll see if that consistent play continues as the month of April rolls on.

Opt for mail order. Most employers' prescription-drug plans offer access to mail-order suppliers, such as Express Scripts and Medco, but not all participants take advantage of the services. For people who regularly take medications (like birth-control pills or drugs for high cholesterol or allergies), these programs can yield substantial savings, since you get a long-term supply. A 90-day supply of some brand-name medicines can cost as much as $100 less than three separate 30-day prescriptions at the corner pharmacy. Talk to your benefits manager for more information.
Be cautious about free samples. If you take the packets of meds your doctor doles out, be aware: Freebies are often available for only the most expensive brand-name prescriptions used to treat chronic conditions. So ask your doctor if she has considered generics or a more established (and less expensive) brand-name alternative, says Jan Engle, an executive associate dean at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Pharmacy.
Split your pills (as long as your doctor approves). If you're taking 20 milligrams of a cholesterol medicine, for example, ask your general practitioner to prescribe the 40-milligram dose, then use an inexpensive pill-splitting device from the drugstore to cut each pill in half, says Engle. Most of the time, you'll pay the same price but get double the doses. Note: This doesn't work with gel caps, time-release medications, or capsules.
Check out assistance programs. Discounted or no-cost medicine may be available from government programs, nonprofits, and other entities. Go to the clearinghouse website of the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (pparx.org), where you can search by the name of the drug or the company that manufactures it. If you suffer from certain ailments, such as cancer, seek out disease-related associations (like the American Cancer Society; cancer.org) for additional resources.

SAN BERNARDINO -- The Inland Empire 66ers opened their game Saturday night with a special guest for Law Enforcement Appreciation Night in honor of those who protect and serve.
San Bernardino County Deputy Alex Collins threw out the first pitch.
The game was a fundraiser to benefit the families of Collins and his partner, the late sheriff's Detective Jeremiah MacKay.
Collins was severely wounded and MacKay was killed during an exchange of gunfire with rogue ex-Los Angeles police Officer Christopher Dorner in February at a cabin near Barton Flats in the San Bernardino Mountains.
"Between our ticket sales and different auctions it would really be nice to raise $15,000 for each of the families," said 66ers general manager Joe Hudson. "I think we should be able to achieve that."
"We are so lucky to have this continued support from the community for Alex and Jeremiah," said Sheriff John McMahon. "Just as we will never forget our heroes, we'll never forget the overwhelming support from the citizens of our county."
Just before Collins took the mound at San Manuel Stadium to throw the first pitch, the sheriff's helicopter loaded with the SWAT team landed on the field.
The SWAT team moved from the copter over to Collins and the team leader walked up to the wounded warrior and hugged him.
People in the stands applauded as the two friends came together.
"I don't usually come to the games," said John Moore of Redlands. "But tonight I'm glad I did. It's good to see where our tax dollars go and the compassion these men and women are capable of showing."
The threat of a possible protest outside the stadium was in the back of several spectators' minds.
"We were told the Trayvon protests were going to happen tonight since they didn't last night," said Shavona Brown. "It was a concern but we figured there would be plenty of our protectors here to keep us safe."
The game went off without a hitch and no problems occurred outside the stadium, police said.
Brown said she was very thankful for everything sheriff's deputies do every day to keep this county safe, but she also knows the loss the deputies' families are experiencing must be a giant burden too.
"These two families put everything they had on the line to protect us from a madman," she said. "Detective MacKay's and Deputy Collins' families need our help just as the community needed theirs on many occasions. It's our turn to step up to the plate and help them now."

Information Literacy and Writing Assessment Project:
Tutorial for Developing and Evaluating Assignments
Section 1: What Is the Writing and Information Literacy Assessment Project?
The purpose of the information literacy and writing assessment project is to provide training and resources to assist faculty in designing, implementing, and assessing student writing and research skills.
Use of ILWA Assignments in Courses
Faculty may use ILWA assignments to promote the cross-curricular objectives of information literacy and effective writing within a given discipline, or they may use such assignments to promote other disciplinary learning objectives.
In 1987, Arthur W. Chickering and Zelda F. Gamson wrote of the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education, affirming the importance of active learning for students. We'd like you to consider the suggestions and practices of the Seven Principles, and consider the most effective means of achieving them in your courses.
To promote active learning, the assessment tools provided here focus not only on the finished products of research and writing but comprise the whole process. The tools are also designed to be used not only by instructors but by students themselves as self-assessment tools. The assessment materials are offered, furthermore, as working tools in hopes that as they are modified and validated for use in various disciplines they prompt a general discussion of assessment practice.

Armani Privé Spring 2011 Couture
There is, it's fair to say, some similitude between whatever evening fantasias Giorgio Armani shows on his runway and the actresses sitting at his show watching them go by, women who in all likelihood will walk the red carpet in them days, weeks, and months later. Yet when the designer presented his made-to-order Armani Privé collection near Place Vendôme Monday evening to the likes of Sophia Loren, Jodie Foster, and Olivia Wilde, it wasn't that constellation of stars he was thinking of, but a woman who, while absent from his front row, we felt was there in spirit—the global phenomenon that is Lady Gaga. Clearly, Armani is gaga for Gaga. How else does one explain that shiny molded techno-fabric that looked like it was specially created for Tron (it is, in fact, a silk-nylon blend)? Or the crystal-strung dresses that looked like three-dimensionally rendered animation (and had a touch of the gown he designed for the one-woman multimedia sensation of last year's Grammy Awards)? Or, indeed, the sleek dome of an ovoid hat, or a glistening cage mask that would be great for the likes of Gaga on the red carpet because, really, who else would be wearing it, while perhaps not so effective for the A-list types Armani has dressed for years.
Maybe that's the point. Armani has his ardent fans already. Maybe, he reckons, when the red carpet has become so predictable, and safe, and tame, it's time to push that And the Winner Is envelope, and open it up to whip out a new name who can inspire him creatively. Will many of these looks be watched by the gazillion viewers at home who tune in to see the Academy Awards next month? Hmm, not so many probably—as they are now. But denuded of the sci-fi styling, there were other ideas here that could materialize. The idea of layering, for example, slipping a white tank dripping with fringe over a matching skirt and narrow pants. Or the bead-encrusted, broad-shouldered jackets, which walked a fine line between elegant and OTT, and were absolutely fine for doing that. Or the relatively simple idea of his couture tees, bias-cut and edged with knit ribbing. The latter alone would be comfortable, effortless, easy elegance in a low-key way—precisely what all those luminaries gravitated toward him for in the first place.
