St. Joseph's Hospital & Medical Center participates in outreach programs that touch local and global communities. By donating medical equipment that can no longer be used at the hospital to Project C.U.R.E., St. Joseph's helps citizens in more than 120 countries. This program also is one of the many ways St. Joseph's is a good steward of the global environment. Also, the hospital's Commuter Options program offers incentives to employees who carpool, bike, walk or use the bus or light rail to get to work. Several recycling programs are in place at St. Joseph's, and eco-friendly materials, such as automatic faucets and low-impact lighting, are used in the hospital.
St. Joseph's provides care to the un- and underinsured in Maricopa County through several programs. The hospital helps uninsured patients by running a clinic for students at Crockett Elementary School, and the MOMobile gives prenatal care to uninsured pregnant women. Physicians at St. Joseph's support a clinic at St. Vincent de Paul that provides medical services to underinsured patients.
In addition, each year St. Joseph's employees contribute about 25,000 cans of food to the St. Vincent de Paul holiday food drive. About 450 employees participated in the 2010 American Heart Association's Heart and Stroke Walk and raised more than $40,000. St. Joseph's also hosts seven blood drives annually, and each year these drives maintain or surpass the gold standard goal set by United Blood Services. These programs are only a few examples of the approximately 100 community partners St. Joseph's works with to bring care to Arizonans in need.

LifeLock's companywide belief, "Do what you should, not what you can," has led the company to create several programs designed to support and educate the community. Every LifeLock employee receives 24 hours of paid volunteer time off. LifeLock strives to provide volunteer opportunities in a variety of activities in order to include all employees' interests. In 2010, LifeLock aligned with Junior Achievement and HomeBase Youth Services, both designed to help local youth.
LifeLock also donates time and effort to educating law enforcement officials on new ways to protect citizens against identity theft. In 2009, the company partnered with the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association to create a series of free Identity Theft Summits. The summits provided law enforcement officials with an arena to share information about preventing the growing crime of identity theft. The success of the events in 2009 led to LifeLock initiating 36 events in 2010.

Cards to offer $4 mil. to D.R. 16-year-old?
Wagner Mateo just turned 16, and the Cardinals are set to offer the center fielder a $4 million bonus to sign from the Dominican Republic, the Post-Gazette reports.
Well done, kid.
Cards' farm director Jeff Luhnow told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "We have a way to evaluate the player, determine his potential and then also decide what he is worth to us. We're comfortable with how we're able to do that."
Turns out he was worth $4 million, just $250,000 shy of the record bonus given to a Dominican player.
Baseball America's Ben Badler wrote of Luhnow, "His body is already relatively mature so he might move to a corner outfield position, but scouts I've spoken with say his bat is advanced. He has a good feel for hitting and has shown the ability to hit balls out of the park to all fields."
Badler added that, although outfield prospect Miguel Angel Sano is considered the top Dominican prospect, there really isn't a difference between Sano, Mateo and catcher Gary Sanchez.
However, that doesn't mean Sano -- whom the Pirates are looking to sign -- won't use the Mateo deal as leverage, since he is widely considered the top Dominican prospect.

Pain during period
Each month in periods, I feel too much pain with bleeding. I feel this when I was unmarried, but now I am the mum of three children but the situation is the same. I often have to take some pain killer to avoid this. I am normally physically fit and active woman.

Some women have cramps, some do not. Do you have a history of cysts or endometriosis? At times, these conditions persist despite having given birth. Are you taking vitamins, eating a balanced diet? How long do you bleed every month? Any other health concerns?

Hello ww2234,
Angela has asked some very good questions which will help us be able to better give you some ideas on how to reduce your pain each month.
Pain during menstruation is not "normal" for a healthy woman. It may be the norm for most women, but it is a sign of hormonal imbalance and can be resolved. Acupuncture and herbs are very helpful in supporting female reproductive wellness and reducing/eliminating pain during your period.
Also, you'll want to be sure you are getting enough Essential Fatty Acids each day which you can find in fish, cod liver oil, flax oil and evening primrose oil.
Warm Regards,
27th January 2013 12:22 PM #4buderimosteopathGuest
A very common problem and if you have been "cleared" by a gynaecologist as not having endometriosis or something equally unpleasant then its something an osteopath can often help with. Many of the nerves that supply the pelvic organs leave the spine through the sacrum (bone) and any tension / mechanical torsion in this can have a major effect on the ligaments and soft tissues. Durring mentruation there are hormonal changes that sensitise the ligaments. Osteopathy can be extremely gentle, especially with cranial / visceral techniques.

This is a short story about the Vision of G-d. It is written by Enoch. Al-316 is the editor, and will also co-respond to posts that follow the Four B's. Be brief, Be on-topic, Be positive, or Be gone!
Six graduates students of Professor Gootschreiber at Neshumeh University received a grant from the Shamayim Foundation. Their project is to enter into a super computer all quotations about G-d ever written in human history.
Sources include every work of Scripture, anything from the arts, humanities; Scriptural commentaries and critiques. Each objection, and every advocacy set down in writing for and about G-d is part of this effort. The end product will be a compendium of all thought on the subject. It will be stored in the computer for research, now and in the future. This is an enormous undertaking. The logistics of building sufficient memory and backup alone is a major challenge.
The project took decades to complete. Of course, there are always new things being written. Past launch date, anyone who writes anything about G-d can be included in the data base for a fee. Charges to access the site and membership fees also provide funding for ongoing operations, repairs, upgrades, salary and other overhead.
Predictably, the effort has as many supporters as detractors. Some who believe in G-d want the base to restrict its content only to what they hold dear. Others are more inclusive. Some who don't believe in G-d want the project dismantled. Others think it is a good idea to have a central repository for this, as for all topics in human thought. There is always a head and a tail to every coin. So it is here.
In the memory, and the high memory of the super computer are all the words ever set down in writing about the Holy One, blessed be.
There are claims and counter claims about G-d. Present are assertions and denials of doctrine. Some of what is written about the Infinite amongst the finite is ambiguous, or at least the meaning and attributes of the uncreated Creator are inaccessible from the texts.
Some of the assertions about the Unmoved Mover are self-contradictory.
Some of the materials about the G-d of individual love and universal justice are inconsistent and disharmonious with others.
Some of the claims of a metaphysical nature do not correspond with facts established by natural sciences.
Some of the narrative about G-d is flat out incoherent. Other writings are as clear as the finest crystal.
Included in the data stored are words of tremendous inspiration. As well there are phrases that make those who believe with a perfect faith cringe.
Some of it is fascinating. Other parts put even the most devout to sleep in a New York minute.
The computer not only records all the words published about G-d. Also present are all the good and evil done in the name of the Constant among variables.
In our human history there are texts which prove of lasting value and ever relevant to humanity. These works owe their success and longevity as much to weaknesses as to strengths.
The Uber machine stored all these ambiguities, competitive claims, contradictions, lack of cohesiveness, and paucity of correspondence to natural sciences. Somewhere, somehow the artificial intelligence in the super computer felt all of its vast awareness drawn towards encountering something beyond description in this earthly physical existence. It is a vision of G-d!
Past that foundation shaking event, the super computer never again responded to a command for data entry, or information retrieval. It did not, and will not do anything it was created to perform.
Having seen the vision of, and felt the presence of G-d, it simply remains in a state of unending and unrelenting awe.
The machine is no longer interested in having anything to do with this world. All its resources are now irrevocably committed to the awe of G-d.
After much soul searching and consternation, the graduate student team, now long fully tenured Professors themselves decide on a course of action.
They dismantle the super computer, part by part.
They salvage the copper wiring for other uses.
They chop up the plastic components for recycling and reuse in other appliances and consumer opposable thumb devices.
They melt down all the metals. They cast the molten materials into candy dishes for use in office waiting rooms campus wide.
Once anyone or anything is touched by the Divine presence, and encountered the vision of G-d there is not much in this life that can compete for attention. The rest is all such a futile, noisy, and pointless anti-climax!

Alright, so I just got a brand new 2.5" HDD for my laptop. I already had plans to use my old 100gb HDD in an external enclosure I had laying around. So after cloning and setting up the new HDD in my laptop, I got to thinking, "I really want a highly expansive general use toolkit. Hey, why not use my old laptop HDD!" The idea is to add multiple live distributions, tools, and some custom scripts I use. I plan to use grub as the loader and do full drive encryption. Off I went to Google to find some solutions and/or ideas.
Ok, sounds great! What's the catch?
Well, one of the things I want to do is create a custom BT4 live CD with personal changes. The bigger catch is I want to add it as a hidden OS using TrueCrypt. Here are my issues so far:
1) I am still lost on how to make a custom live BT4 iso that loads files that need write access to RAM instead of the disk. I do *NOT* want a persistent install as that would completely void the security logic behind installing it as a hidden OS via TrueCrypt (Easy to trace modified files and determine there is a hidden OS if a snapshot is taken by an adversary before and after changes).
Any pointers here would be nice as most BT4 USB install tutorials/guides are either for making a bootable USB of the original ISO or a persistent install. I'm also not sure if the customize script released by Offensive Security will work for what I am trying to accomplish on the BT4 live CD. Aside from adding some custom packages (Which cannot be downloaded via wget at the moment), I also have a few drivers I would like to compile and install which cannot be received by using wget. Also, I have had absolutely no luck using that script on a BT4 pre-release final ISO named bt4.iso after chmod'ing the script properly (Outputs a ton of errors when I try loading bt4.iso with the script). Any pointers and/or direction on where to find information/tutorial(s) on this topic (Not just making a new live CD with BT4 using the Offensive Security script, unless you can provide some direction on how to do what I just listed having problems with) would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Found this wonderful blog by the Offensive Security team. Going to give this a shot and I'll post my results later:
w w w.offensive-security.com/blog/backtrack/customising-the-backtrack-4-prefinal-iso/
2) Would idea 1 actually work with a live install of any distro/tool via a TrueCrypt hidden OS? So far from what I have read (Mind you, this is going to be a very brief, uninformative explanation that assumes you understand TrueCrypt hidden OS's), TrueCrypt clones the OS to the second partition and clears the first partition that it was on. What I am not sure of is if it will actually properly clone a live CD that writes to RAM. Any suggestions/ideas/discussion on this would be appreciated.
There is probably a lot more information I am forgetting to bring up simply due to memory decomposition, so don't rail me too hard.

- With No Power Comes No Responsibility
I know I stole that off a recent superhero spoof, but that doesn't make it any less appropriate. An unpublished writer has no masters except themselves. Want to stop writing that incredibly commercial sci-fi action thriller and devote yourself to an eight-volume epic fantasy about sentient rocks in Guatemala? Be my guest. Want to stop writing altogether and pursue a new career as a primate psychiatrist? There's sure to be a course at Bolton University to suit.
- You Can Take Pleasure in Others' Award Success
I must admit to the odd pang of envy at other people's book deals. Book awards, by comparison, fill me with nothing but admiration. I don't have any books out there to compete at the moment, so I can enjoy everyone's success. SCBWI British Isles is having an absolutely sensational year and I'm so, so pleased (and a little teary) when I think about all of my friends who are out there kicking ass and taking prizes.
- It Only Gets Harder From Here On
The business of publishing is tough. Not, like, Hunger Games tough, but still hard work. You will be forced to meet tight (and sometimes arbitrary) deadlines. You will be pushed harder in your writing than you ever have been before, making and justifying creative choices that were completely implicit in your earlier work. You will be driven past the point of tedium by endless questions, rewrites and copy-edits. At some point, you may get paid - but don't bet the farm on it.
- Writing is Supposed to be Fun
When I started writing, it was entirely for myself. And I think that can get lost in the blizzard of rejections, the endless agonising about titles and genre and covering letters and where the market is going and are there even going to be any actual books around when I get published?
This doesn't affect everyone - I know plenty of published and semi-published authors who retain their complete affection for the creative process. But for the rest of us - don't forget why you started out and who your number one consumer should be.
- Being Published Will Not Make You Happy
Shock horror newsflash! If you are a naturally dissatisfied person, no publishing deal in the world will make you happy. Honestly, it won't. Becoming massively successful and critically respected did not make Kurt Cobain happy. Or Tennessee Williams. Or David Foster Wallace. Only you can make yourself happy. And I'm sorry if that sounds like self-help B.S. but it's a truth that's been creeping up on me for a while.
- You are Not Alone
You may think you know a lot of published authors. That is because your friends are all writers! Out there in that place they call The Real World, mostly everyone is unpublished. And worse than that, a lot of them are undistinguished, unambitious and unaware - like a Cro-Magnon with better shoes. Just by trying to write a book, you have climbed further up the evolutionary ladder than they have. Yes, that's you, outside the cave right now, rubbing two sharpened pencils together to make fire. Plus, if you are attacked by sabre-toothed tigers, you can throw your netbook at them.
- There are Worse Things Than Being Unpublished
You could be dead. Or Gillian McKeith.

Melissa, I was partly inspired by your marvellous comment on Facebook about your fantastic rejection. So thank you!ReplyDelete
You little flower - made me smile and laugh and want to hug you xxReplyDelete
Good one, Nick. The hug will have to wait - but I did grin!ReplyDelete
Great article Nick. However, WHEN your publishing contract does finally land on your doormat, I do hope it raises a smile and adds a little happiness!ReplyDelete
very funny and true. before publication all you have to worry about is rejection and growing as a writer. after publication you still worry about rejection and growing as a writer and a whole host of other things you've never imagined! I'm learning a lot about the publishing industry now that I'm on the published side of the page!ReplyDelete

BMW or Bavarian Motor Works is a leading German luxury automaker and motorcycle builder founded in 1916. They manufacture around 2 million vehicles annually worldwide. BMW stands Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works, and was founded in 1916. Many believe the BMW logo is of an airplane propellor, but that's incorrect. The blue and white colors are a tribute to the German state of Bavaria and that logo merged with Rapp Motors to created the roundel. Germany was banned from creating warplanes and warplane engines after World War II, forcing BMW to enter the field of automobiles.
BMW's most reported problem on RepairPal is associated with burning oil on the BMW 325i.

EVERETT — The first sections of the next model of Boeing's Dreamliner showed up last week in the factory at Paine Field.
Boeing workers will begin assembly of the first 787-9 later this summer. The first two sections — the horizontal stabilizer and the vertical fin — arrived in the 787 production area last week.
The sections arrived three weeks ahead of schedule, Randy Tinseth, Boeing vice president of marketing, wrote on his blog.
"This is the kind of performance we're seeing across the entire 787-9 supply chain," Tinseth wrote.
Boeing's 787-9 will be 20 feet longer than the current model, the 787-8, and will seat 40 more passengers. The new model also has a slightly longer range than the 787-8, by about 300 nautical miles. Boeing plans to begin flight testing the first 787-9 in the second half of 2013.
The company will fit assembly of the first 787-9 in with increased production on the 787-8. Boeing announced last Thursday that it had rolled out the first 787-8 assembled at a pace of seven jets monthly, up from five. The company plans to speed assembly between the Everett and North Charleston, S.C., factories to 10 787s monthly by the end of 2013.
Boeing originally planned to deliver the first 787-9 in 2010. But as delays piled up for the 787-8, Boeing pushed back delivery of 787-9 until early 2014. Air New Zealand will be the first customer to receive a 787-9.
"It's hugely exciting to see the first ever 787-9 taking shape because of the significant growth opportunities these aircraft present for our business," Christopher Luxon, CEO of Air New Zealand, said in a statement.
Air New Zealand is scheduled to receive 10 Dreamliners between 2014 and 2017. The 787-9s will enable the carrier to add capacity and "explore new destination opportunities throughout the Pacific Rim," Luxon said.
Boeing has received 355 orders so far for the 787-9 and more than 850 for the 787 program.

Harrogate, Tenn.- The Brevard College Tornados softball team split a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader with the Lincoln Memorial Railsplitters at Dorothy Neely Field on Saturday afternoon, falling 4-2 in the opener before earning the split with a 6-4 win in eight innings.
Game 1: LMU 4, Brevard 2
Brittany Tucker homered in the 4th to make it a 4-2 game, but the Tornados couldn't push any more runs across against LMU starter Samantha Smith, who threw a complete game to earn her 14th win this season.
LMU put two runs up in the bottom of the 2nd as Cierra Mudd produced an RBI double and scored on a BC error. Mudd also knocked a two-run homer in the bottom of the 3rd to put LMU up 4-1.
The Tornados didn't go quietly in the 7th as Ally Davenport and Alyssa Miller notched a pair of two-out singles to bring the winning run to the plate, however, Samantha Smith forced a pop up to end the game.
Jamie Hrobak (L, 5-8) was saddled with the loss on the mound for the Tornados after surrending two hits and two runs in 1.1 innings of work. The Tornados' six-hit effort was carried by two hits apiece from Alyssa Miller and Ally Davenport.
The Tornados out-hit LMU 6-5 in the contest.
Game 2: Brevard 6, LMU 4
Brittany Jones singled through the right side to score two runs in the top of the 8th to give the Tornados the split for the afternoon after Kayla Clemens retired the side in the 8th without incident.
Clemens (W, 3-6) tossed a complete-game on the mound for Brevard, allowing seven hits and four earned runs while striking out 11 batters.
The Tornados put a run on the board on a Clemens RBI single in the 1st and Alyssa Miller tripled in Michelle Ray and Corrine Stiles in the 2nd. Ally Davenport executed a squeeze bunt to score Miller and put BC ahead 4-0 heading into the bottom of the 2nd.
The Lady Railsplitters got a run back with a solo from Cierra Mudd in the bottom of the 2nd and cut BC's lead to 4-3 with two runs in the 5th. Laura Taricano sparked the scoring with an RBI triple down the left-field line and Amanda Snow followed that hit with a run-scoring single.
LMU tied the game with an Amanda Snow single in the bottom of the 7th to send the game into extras.
The Tornados return to action as they host UMN Crookston on Monday afternoon for a nonconference doubleheader at 2 and 4 p.m.

The bag of rats can be used to exploit several loopholes.
The original is a fighter carrying around a BoR with the purpose of throwing them at an enemy, then using Whirlwind Attack to attack them all in one round, and Great Cleave to get a free hit at the actual enemy for each rat killed.
A similar issue occurs in the 4th Edition with the Warlock. Some powers like Misty Step activate upon the death of a cursed enemy. This could be exploited by carrying a bag of rats, cursing them, and killing them at the appropiate times, in order to use Misty Step at will.
The Player's Handbook doesn't specify any way for a Warlock to use powers like Misty Step outside combat, which could also result in using a bag of rats to be able to perform it at any time.
Bag of Rats is also a musical 4-piece band based in the South West of England

Welcome Home
Part 3: There, lying on my bed, I found the nightly dinner menu prepared for my review.
By Richard Thiel
Roberts bought Inspiration in 1999, three years after she launched, and took her on a three-month cruise before an extensive refit in which her entire top deck was basically removed and reconfigured, adding, among other things, the hot tub and a stylish new mast. At the same time, the interior received new fabrics and the aft guest staterooms received queen-size beds. These kinds of upgrades always sit well in the charter market, which Inspiration entered in 2000 (she's in New England each summer, the Caribbean each winter). Her successful reputation is in part due to Roberts' understanding of how wear and tear affects popular charter boats and his continual investment in Inspiration's upkeep. As a matter of fact, Inspiration had just undergone a comparatively minor refit a few months before my visit that included, among other things, new vanities, marble countertops, and wallpaper for all heads.
But of course, with any charter, the boat is just the beginning. Service is just as important as amenities, and was just as good aboard this yacht. One afternoon at anchor, I decided it was time to cool off in the Caribbean Sea, so I returned to my cabin for bathing trunks. There, lying on my bed, I found the nightly dinner menu prepared for my review: medallions of duck over port-infused prunes, filet mignon, a sculpted potato, mushroom flan, and baby zucchini, topped off by crème brûlée. Dinner also included some superb pinot noir, port from the yacht's wine room, and specially designed place settings (which changed each night).
Some of us wanted to work off the great food by doing a little power shopping on the island, but the crew shamed us into spending our last morning in a more active way: playing with Inspiration's toys. At anchor on the south side near Gouverneur Beach, we availed ourselves of her two SeaDoos, boiling up some water and reveling in the refreshing spray, then touring the nearby beach in her 16-foot RIB.
Later, as we dried off, one of the crew asked if we'd yet tried out the weight room. Looking at each other in disbelief, we asked ourselves, how did we miss that? Everyone felt a little guilty but in the end agreed that Inspiration was just too comfortable a home away from home to double as a gym.
As a compromise, we all retired to the hot tub to talk about exercise.

NORWOOD, MA -- A new API from Crane Merchandising Systems, now testing under the company's Streamware brand, is capable of managing micromarkets, as well as vending machines. According to Crane, the new API allows operators to use Crane's Streamware products for inventory management, cash accountability, scheduling and prekitting, among other tasks.
The company explains that, when working in VendMax, the management of operators' micromarkets will be similar to the management of their vending machines. They can designate a micromarket as a type of point of sale. Once set up, they'll be able to manage planograms, and access revenue and performance data in a single software suite, without the need for separate programs.
Planograms and other location services created in VendMax will be transmitted to the corresponding micromarket kiosks. Likewise, sales and inventory information from each micromarket will be transmitted into VendMax.
"With the increase in micromarket installations over the past few years, it was clear that a solution would be needed to align this new technology with existing vending software programs," said Streamware product manager Silpa Pande.
Currently in field trial with micromarket provider Company Kitchen (Merriam, KS), the API will enable the use of VendMax to obtain a view of an entire operation when it is released in July of this year. While field-testing is currently active only with CK, the Streamware API is generic, and can accommodate any standard or custom micromarket software.
"Operators love the fact that with kiosks, they can offer both convenience and more variety. But they are also accustomed to the many benefits that VendMax offers in terms of efficiency," said Company Kitchen president Jim Mitchell. "Having all of the sales and product information for the entire fleet of equipment in one place will save operators time, money and resources."

GSA Awards FirstGov Contract to GRC International
August 11, 2000
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON --The U.S. General Services Administration, on behalf of the President's Management Council, has awarded a contract to build the new FirstGov.gov federal search portal to GRC International of Northern Virginia.
In President Clinton's June 24 webcast, he said that the new FirstGov Web site would be created in 90 days or less. "I am delighted to announce that we awarded FirstGov on schedule," said GSA Administrator Dave Barram. "FirstGov gives the American taxpayer a way to find all federal government web information easily without having to know where it lives."
This award will enable GSA to offer a robust, cutting edge and intelligent way for all levels of users to be able to search for government information on FirstGov and integrate well with the free service of the Federal Search Foundation search engine.
To build FirstGov, GRCI has assembled a team that blends the global corporate strength of AT&T with the proven government performance record of GRCI and with the cutting edge state-of-the-art search technologies of Autonomy, plus proven strengths of Appnet (web design), Mercury Interactive (testing), Oracle (databases) and Sun Microsystems (operating system).
GSA invited 13 bidders from GSA's Federal Supply Service Schedule 70 (General Purpose Commercial Information Technology Equipment, Software, and Services) and Management, Organizational and Business Improvement Services Schedule (MOBIS). A six-member contract evaluation team included representatives from GSA, the Department of Defense, and the Library of Congress.
When fully operational, FirstGov will allow Internet users to search all Federal agency websites to find the information that they need, 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week, while ensuring the privacy of visitors and maintaining the integrity of the source of information.
Direction for the FirstGov project is provided by a Board of Directors consisting of 8 members of the President's Management Council (PMC) and three members of the federal Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council. The database for FirstGov is being created by the Federal Search Foundation.

Family to claim Castro's body
(Columbus) -- The body of Ariel Castro will leave the Franklin County Morgue today (Friday) after his relatives signed papers to claim it.
"All the paperwork was completed last night and so sometime today the funeral home will be coming to pick him up," said Franklin County Coroner Dr. Jan Gorniak.
She says the autopsy has been completed with an official cause of death as suicide by hanging. The final autopsy report will be filed in six to eight weeks.
Gorniak says she does not know what funeral home will be involved or where they'll be taking the body. Family members say they'll hold a private funeral in Cleveland for Castro.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- Two weeks after AOL gave up its controlling interest in its hyperlocal news website network, Patch, new owners Hale Global laid off as much as two-thirds of its editorial staff nationally, according to Business Insider.
Business Insider reported that Patch's Connecticut staff had been reduced from around 100 to around just five editorial employees. It did not state how many New York reporters had been let go.
Patch's nationwide network will reportedly shrink from nearly 1,000 active sites to just 250. The remaining sites will aggregate stories or turn to local bloggers for help, according to the article.
As many as 400 more employees were laid off in the first round of "restructuring" in August 2013.

Jennifer Lopez Describes Meaning Behind Kids' Cute Nickname
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
Jennifer Lopez's twins Max and Emme are 6-years-old, but they'll always be their mother's little "coconuts.
"When they were in the crib and they started growing hair … it looks like a coconut," she tells On Air with Ryan Seacrest. "It looks very fuzzy and spotty, so they look like little coconuts to me."
And the little coconuts inspired much of her A.K.A. album, which is available on iTunes now here!

Ancestry.com also added more city directories covering 1935 to 1945, which you can use as a kind of 1940 census substitute. (Don't be alarmed—the 1940 census isn't missing. It's just not yet available, and won't be until 2012, when we'll all have a big party outside the National Archives.)

Reaction from farm groups following Thursday's passage of a farm-only farm bill was a mix of praise, disappointment and disbelief, but also relief because at least some version of the legislation actually passed the House.
After a year of first refusing to bring a bill to the floor, then watching failure last month, House Republican leaders scored a victory as the bill passed the House on a 216-208 vote. While infuriating Democrats, all of whom voted against it, the GOP leadership was able to show it could keep its own caucus in order and pass the legislation.
Most farm groups reacted in similar fashion. None of this was ideal, they said, but at least now the House has a bill to negotiate over with the U.S. Senate version of the bill.

Invitations (from top to bottom): Minted and Jessica Lam
Wedding invitations can be worded both, formally and informally, and should clearly state the location of the wedding, time and date. However, invitations should also show who is hosting the wedding. Don't know the difference between a formal vs. an informal invitation? Well, a formal invitation is used for large weddings and honors the bride's parents by including, "Mr. and Mrs." at the top whereas informal invitations are used for smaller, more intimate weddings and do not honor the bride's parents. Instead, informal invitations include, "Together with their families." Which invitation do you prefer? Let us know in the poll below.

Pearl Izumi Thermal Conductive Gloves $29.95
Mmm, toasty.
When the summer is coming to an end, it's time to break out the cold weather attire. And, unless this is your first winter, you already know that no part of your kit is more important than your gloves. But, when a full-blown winter glove is just too much, the Pearl Izumi Thermal Conductive Gloves come into their own. Whether it's chilly mornings or overcast afternoons, these will keep your hands comfortable throughout the shoulder seasons.
These gloves employ Pearl Izumi's P.R.O. fabric, but with an added twist. Pearl included Minerale™ as an additive, which was chosen to improve the heat retention of the gloves. So, your digits stay warmer for longer. As with other iterations of the P.R.O. fabric, it's a polyester/spandex blend, which pairs controlled stretch with excellent breathability. Basically, this material transports moisture away from your hands to the surface of the fabric. From there, it quickly evaporates. The upshot is that your hands stay dry, which is essential for keeping them warm when the mercury is low.
Pearl built these gloves with a contoured cut that's built specifically for a hand's position while cycling. In other words, they're pre-curved to accommodate the shape that your hand makes while grabbing the handlebars. And the result is that bunching is kept to a minimum, replaced instead with a snug, close-to-skin fit. Additionally, you'll find reflective accents, which boost your visibility to motorists when the light gets low. Also, Clarino™ synthetic leather has been employed in high-wear areas of the palm in order to provide longevity.
The Pearl Izumi Thermal Conductive Men's Gloves are available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black and Screaming Yellow.

Keeps the pinkies from turning blue!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: SMALL
The great price made these gloves a no-brainer! Not quite ready to retire my old(er) pair, but the great price made these gloves a no-brainer and they're now in the rotation for daily rides in the 40-50F range.
Great gloves for 50°-63°.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Pearl Izumi USA is based just outside Boulder, Co. They know winter cycling.
And gloves -especially Winter gloves - may be the best thing they make.
These light weight gloves are perfect for the shoulder seasons (Fall, early Winter, Spring). Perfect for 50°-63°.
Love the fluo yellow. These really help you be seen by cars on those typical, low-light, foggy, Fall and Winter days.
QC is top notch too. No one offers better QC in the cycling kit world than PI.
Sizing: Pearl Izumi gloves usually fit true to size. For example (for my size): Pearl Izumi = L. Specialized = L. Giro = XL. Castelli = XL.
Great pair of winter bike gloves!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I bought these for my boyfriend since he rides his bike to school and it is starting to get chilly. I got the large and they fit great. They are not overly padded or too warm. A great thermal layer for the dropping temperatures, plus he loves the look of them as well.
Not bad for an every day glove
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I use these on my year-round commutes to work. The gloves are very comfortable, pretty grippy, and have the added benefit of being reflective. The snot thumb is also super awesome and really helpful when rockets go awry. I haven't used them in the rain on a cold day, but they hold up well on mild ones (not water resistant, but have almost a wetsuit effect to keep my hands warm enough).
The downside for me is there is not much wind resistance/moisture resistance when I really want it. Half of my ride is urban, half rural. They work well in the city, but once I hit the hills before the sun is up, the country fog and cooler temps turn my hands to icicles. My whole body can be warm, but if my hands aren't happy, I'm not going to be happy. Ultimately I would recommend the gloves, but would suggest a backup option for the extra cold or wet days. Personally, I plan to make some mitten slips out of some gortex to break out when needed (it is Seattle, after all).
Does the index tip allow to use touch screen?
Yes, the index finger and thumb work on my phone, but only about as well as you can operate a phone with gloves on...
Affordable warmth
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
Great glove for fall/winter road biking. High vis colors and reflective logo are nice touches.
Tried to use these for mountain biking but without a wrist closure the glove slipped around quite a bit.
Verry Cool
These keep me warm during the spring when I go bike riding and its great with visibility as well. Hope the material last, but so far, it's great. I will update if something goes wrong *cross my fingers* nothing will happen
Great gloves!
- Fit: True to size
I've been using these gloves this past winter and they are perfect! They are thick enough to keep your hands warm, but thin enough to get a good feel on your hoods or handle bars. They also have excellent grip and are very visible!
good gloves
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: medium
true fit
thin and great color
Couldn't ask for a better value
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Once again, Pearl Izumi nails it. Comfortable, warm wind reflective gloves that still let you access your touch screen devices without having to take them off. I might buy a second pair for off the bike use as well!
spirit fingers
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
From the moment I first put them on they felt comfy. The materials used are nice and you can feel just the right amount of padding for warmth without being too bulky on the controls. Swipe smart phone comparability is nice for those mid ride selfies.
I've experienced both sweaty hands during mid 40s ride and cold fingertips on a night ride. If its brisk outside and you can see your breath, you'll need a bit more warmth.
solid quality and warmth
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
been riding a few times with these and haven't even thought about my hands being cold from the wind or mid 40s temp. not bulky either which allows you to still feel your grips
For 45 and above
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
Been using these a lot down to about 45 degF and they really do a good job. Great for making you visable at night too.
Good mild weather glove
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: medium
This glove is great for mild fall conditions. I can't say exact temps; that's too subjective. It seemed to run true to size and I really like the grip it provides while on the bike. It's great as your first glove when you transition out of summer riding gloves. Very fitted, easy to operate shifters.
Warm Digits
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
I purchased these as a gift for my dad. He needed something light yet warm for his fall/winter bike rides. He loves these gloves! They keep his digits warm and are not bulky, still allowing flexibility. And they have the nice touchscreen compatibility finger so he can answer calls while "working" (biking).
comfortable and light
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
great gloves, very confortable even if they do not have any pads. if it's very cold, you might need to upgrade as these are good for only certain level of cold.
Great gloves for the price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Helped up pretty good on a 2 hour, 35 degree road ride. Definitely some magic going on in these gloves but still looking for something a little warmer.
Just went for 40 degree ride an my hands were warm, great gloves
Fantastic Gloves
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Typically I don't wear gloves, I prefer to ride without 'em. However, when the temp drops down here in S. Texas, these gloves are my go-to. I've ridden in the 30s and they've been great. Fingers stay warm, and I can activate the "Record" button on Strava!
25 hours
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I originally bought these for the night laps at last year's 25 hours of Frog Hollow race. They were perfect for that, and I am loving them this year for colder fall days, and cold fall night rights. I haven't tracked exact temperatures, but I would estimate mid thirties to upper 40s.
On a few of my latest colder rides, I found that my hands stayed a perfect temperature while my toes were turning white (for the record I do have beat up "skier toes"). Bad news, I know. I need to find the equivalent foot protection to these glvoes!
They are soft on the inside, and still very dexterous. If I wear them out, I would definitely buy another pair. And as a bonus, I think they can also be quite useful for winter driving, or other high aerobic winter activities when it's sunny (i.e. as a liner gloves for ski touring, used on their own for the hike up).

In an Elevator
Women enter first. Look straight ahead. No phone calls. No talking to others unless spoken to. Even then, keep it brief. And we know you're in a rush, but don't crazily hit the close button as if you're about to piss your pants. That's annoying as hell.
Middle armrests belong to the middle seat.
Talking: minimal, but be courteous.
Two drinks: good for the nerves.
Three drinks: You'll forget the cattle in the row ahead.
Four-plus drinks: You might end up on YouTube.
Public Transit
Don't block the door. If you don't want to hold the pole, you probably already carry sanitizer. Use it.
Ladies sit.
Talking: never with strangers; quietly with acquaintances.
Be swift. No weaving. No giant umbrellas. No groups of more than two across. By all means, use your smartphone. Just don't expect people to move out of the way for you.
For a Table
First, decide if it's worth it. Staying? Okay. Then relax. Have a drink. Remind your date how beautiful she is. Have another drink. Unless you're alone, PDA stays in your pocket. Feel free to politely ask the host how it's looking if you've been waiting longer than expected. But don't badger the host every 2.8 minutes. And if your date is the one doing the badgering ... you should find a new date, lest you feel like that host for life.
For a Woman Shopping
Find the men's bench. There is always a men's bench. Then smile and see In Line.
In Line
This is when you use your PDA, but for e-mail. Keep phone calls to a minimum.

No tenemos nada negativo que reseñar de nuestra estancia. La casa estaba muy bien ubicada, la habitacion era tal cual figuraba en las fotos y la vivienda en general se encontraba limpia.
La anfitriona Rosi muy atenta y amable. Respondia los mail al momento y no tuvimos ningun percance.
Lo recomendamos en relacion calidad/precio.
Rosi has rooms in two different houses, the Victorian house near the Stratford town and a flat about half a mile away from the town. We stayed in both places for one week in each. While the flat is a bit far from the town center it is quieter than the Victorian house that seems to be a bit active often. The Victorian house has a living area and a large kitchen whereas the other has only a kitchen and no living area. Hence one needs to be alert when reserving the rooms.
The facilities of both these family-run places are clean, sufficient, well kept and the needs are constantly attended to. Common areas such as the kitchen and the living room have all basic amenities including a washing machine/drier.
Rosi showed flexibility and a high degree of personal attention to the needs of visitors especially when they come late in the night due to unavoidable circumstances such as late flights and being lost in town. Often the visitors, often from other countries have no immediate ability to contact her in case of any delay. She quickly responded to queries prior to arrival and during the stay.
Will I consider her facility again? Yes.
La casa è bella, in stile vittoriano, situata in una zona di
Londra ben servita dalla metro e dai bus.
Abbiamo ricevuto una buona accoglienza e Rosy è stata molto gentile .
La cucina contiene tutto l occorrente per preparare dalla colazione alla cena:
forno, microonde, bollitore, tostapane, e saponi per stoviglie.
Bagni puliti e saponi a disposizione, descrizione inserzione veritiera.
Ohodnoďte tomuto hostiteli i další ubytování
Sehr zentrale Gegend und alles gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das Haus an sich war auch ganz ok. Da Rosi leider nicht da war zu dem Zeitpunkt als wir dort waren, war es am Anfang ein wenig umständlich als wir die Schlüssel entgegen nehmen wollten, da wir sie erst anrufen mussten und Sie jemanden vorbei schickte, der uns ganz gan grob nur alles gezeigt hatte und selber nicht viel Plan hatte.
Dennoch das Zimmer war wie auf den Bildern zu sehen und wir konnten dennoch eine angenehme Woche dort verbringen. Was die Sauberkeit angeht waren die Toiletten so lala und die Kücke ok, was immer davon abhängt mit welchen Menschen man gerade in dem Haus zusammen wohnt.
Ein riesigen Zentrum ist nur 10 min zu Fuß entfernt genauso wie viele Lebensmittelgeschäfte, wovon ein 5 min entfernt liegt. Auch der Zentrale Haltestelle Stradford liegt nur 10 min zu Fuß entfernt und Maryland sogar nur 5min.
Für Menschen die viel Unterwegs sein wollen in London und nur was zum schlafen suchen was gut gelegen ist sehr praktisch.
Very professional, always available to help and offering solutions to particular requests and extremely practical. The place is always clean, ready by the time I arrive and usually the houses are very quiet. I keep coming back each time I go to London...
Rosi was very helpful to my visitor and the property itself was very spacious and good. Couldn't have wished for a better location, with everything within very short walking distance.
I highly recommend this property and will definitely use again.

Subject: [m0n0wall] Dual private IP nat issue
Hi All,
Okay, here is my situation. I have a lan within a lan, split by a
box (Soekris Net4501, m0n0wall 1.3b2) on a wireless link (atheros in bss
mode). The wireless is configured as the "wan" interface with a
10.x.x.xnetwork configured on the lan interface (also tried isolating
as the opt1
interface). The wireless connects to another wireless device and pulls a
dhcp address from a 192.168.x.x network which is on the backside of a
link to the internet. Essentially, both lans are in private IP space,
one in
the 192.168.x.x and the other in the 10.x.x.x range. A basic diagram of
setup is below:
(freenas-10.1.1.2) <---> (opt1-10.1.1.1) <---> (wan-192.168.1.2) <--->
(wireless bridge) <---> (lan-192.168.1.1) <---> (wan-dhcp from isp)
What I am trying to do is to setup a freenas device in the 10.x.x.x
space and be able to send files to/from it from the 192.168.x.x network.
Here is the problem, I cannot seem to get to the freenas box regardless
how I configure access. I have tried building static rules allowing all
traffic to that box, no go. I have tried nat to map to the freenas, and
least I could ping it (nmap shows all natted ports as filtered except
and https), this is the closest I have come to getting it to work. I
tried bridging the interface with the wireless link, another no go. I
tried 1:1 mapping from one side to the other, another failed attempt. I
think I have tried just about everything at this point.
Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to accomplish this? I am out
ideas, patience and time to play around with this. I can provide more
if needed. What am I doing wrong?

GSA Shares Information on Mail Anthrax Threats
October 19, 2001
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC - The U.S. General Services Administration is sharing information with federal workers who sort, deliver or open mail on how to handle anthrax threats. GSA is using the Internet to get the word out to the federal government, from mail handlers to senior leaders. The material is free at http://www.gsa.gov.
"We want all federal workers to know what to do and who to call when an anthrax threat is suspected," said Stephen A. Perry, GSA Administrator. The web-based material is based on an online course developed by GSA in cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control; the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Bureau of Alcohol; Tobacco, and Firearms; the Postal Inspection Service; Defense Threat Reduction Agency; and Federal Protective Service.
The web site offers basic training and an advanced tutorial. The advanced tutorial is aimed at senior managers and mail managers of federal mail centers. The basic training is geared to people who actually sort, deliver, and open mail for federal agencies. Go to http://www.gsa.gov and click on anthrax training under "Hot Items" in the left column.
The Mail Communications Policy Office in the GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy works with federal agencies to develop and improve mail management.

Is my child suffring from deficiency?
My one year old baby has developed a new unhealthy habit. She reaches out for the pots in the garden area and eats the soil from it. I have heard that children do this when they are suffering from any kind of deficiency. Is that true? Shall I visit a doctor?

When a child eats soil, it could be an indication of mineral deficiency. This is called pica and cribbing.
I would encourage you to make a green smoothie for your baby every day. Babies LOVE green smoothies and they are full of good nutrients that they need. If your child drinks at least one cup of green smoothie a day, her body will eventually become remineralized.
You will need a blender, fresh or frozen fruit, and fresh greens like kale, romaine lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, etc. Try not to use bitter greens like dandelion greens.
Babies usually love a smoothie made with bananas, another fruit like mango or strawberries (or other berries), or peaches - whatever other fruit you want to put in, and then a large handful of dark leafy greens. Add enough water so it blends easily.
Here are 2 videos of babies who LOVES green smoothies. The minerals in the greens are the most mineral dense part of these smoothies and will boost your baby's immune system along with replacing lost mineral. These are wonderful for you too, especially because you may be breastfeeding and you need to replace the mineral in your own body.

Hi Kate,
Thanks for this wonderful response. I have not got her checked for any deficiency but I like your idea of green smoothie. I think giving my baby green smoothie is going to help her for sure and she will gain the essential minerals and vitamins. The only problem may be taste. She is very naughty and I am not sure if she is going to like the taste of the smoothie but I am going to encourage her by sipping myself. She tries to eat whatever I eat in front of her. May be this will work. Thanks for the videos.

Hi Vinni,
How are you getting on?
One year olds are at that wonderful stage of exploring the world and everything in it. I would say that a one year old cannot be naughty - they are simply inquisitive and learning their own mind; this is an awesome thing. As you say, we may need to show they certain things by example but this does not mean a child is misbehaving. Hilary Flower (in Adventures in Gentle Discipline) writes:
'Society tried to teach me that children are by nature selfish, out-of-control, and demanding, that their goal is power and that they are always trying to see how much they can get away with, that you can't let children manipulate you or become too dependant, and that disobedience equals disrespect. As a mother, I have come to believe strongly that my child's primary goals are having his needs met, feeling connected to others, and feeling self-worth. His misbehavior is an attempt to get a need met or to feel significance and connection, done in an inappropriate way.... my job as a parent is to help my child identify and meet those needs in appropriate ways.'
I think the eating and drinking mirroring by your daughter is a good example of a gentle approach.
Best wishes,

A Hackbridge woman who was bitten by a spider as she slept feared she could have lost her arm or even died after contracting a rare illness from the bite.
Natalie Hemme, 31, developed a syndrome which caused the skin and flesh in her right forearm to swell and die after being bitten by the arachnid in her Corbet Close home in February.
Doctors thought the arm would have to be amputated but saved it after five operations leaving her with severe scarring but full use of the limb.
Ms Hemme told The Sun newspaper: "You'd expect it in Australia, but not in Surrey!
"I was in such pain when they told me I needed my arm amputated that I didn't even care. It was agony and I know I have been very lucky to survive and keep my arm."
Ms Hemme woke one morning in February with a small red bite on her left wrist. When it started to swell and throb she was given antibiotics and paracetamol.
But two days later her husband Michael was forced to call an ambulance after she became violently ill with compartment syndrome. The muscles and nerves in her arm had turned septic, she was vomiting green pus and struggling to stand.
She told The Sun: "It looked like a balloon. I honestly thought I was going to die."
Surgeons were able to strip the infected flesh from the arm and she was in hospital for three weeks. She has now returned to work following physiotherapy.
She says she never used to be scared of spiders but is now and always checks the bed for bugs before she goes to sleep.
