Craniosynostosis repair is surgery to correct a problem that causes the bones of a child's skull to grow together (fuse) too early.
Craniectomy - child; Synostectomy; Strip craniectomy; Endoscopy-assisted craniectomy; Sagittal craniectomy; Frontal-orbital advancement; FOA
This surgery is done in the operating room under general anesthesia. This means your child will be asleep and will not feel pain.
Traditional surgery is called open repair. It includes these steps:
Surgery usually takes 3 to 7 hours. Your child will probably need to have a blood transfusion during or after surgery to replace blood that is lost during the surgery.
A newer kind of surgery is used for some children. This type is usually done for children younger than 3 to 6 months old.
Children do best when they have this surgery when they are 3 months old. The surgery should be done before the child is 6 months old
A baby's head, or skull, is made up of many different bones. The connections between these bones are called sutures. When a baby is born, it is normal for these sutures to be open a little. This gives the baby's brain room to grow.
Craniosynostosis is a condition that causes one or more of the baby's sutures to close too early. This can cause the shape of your baby's head to be different than normal.
An x-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan can be used to diagnose craniosynostosis. Surgery is usually needed to correct it.
Surgery frees the sutures that are fused. It also reshapes the brow, eye sockets, and skull as needed. The goals of surgery are:
Risks for any surgery are:
Possible risks of having this surgery are:
If the surgery is planned, you will need to take the following steps:
During the days before the surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
Ask your doctor or nurse if your child can eat or drink before surgery. In general:
Your doctor may ask you to wash your child with a special soap on the morning of the surgery. Rinse your child well.
After surgery, your child will be taken to an intensive care unit (ICU). Your child will be moved to a regular hospital room after a day or two. Your child will stay in the hospital for 3 to 7 days.
Talking, singing, playing music, and telling stories may help soothe your child. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is used for pain. Your doctor can prescribe other pain medicines if your child needs them.
Most children who have endoscopic surgery can go home after staying in the hospital 1 night.
Most of the time, the outcome from craniosynostosis repair is good.

Editor's note: This story was originally published on May 18, 2010.
Grundy, Va. » As mourners gathered Tuesday evening to give their condolences to Joe Stacy over the loss of his 4-year-old son, Ethan Stacy, the grieving father said he understands why charges have not been filed yet in the boy's death. Ethan's mother, Stephanie Sloop, and her new husband, Nathan Sloop, are in Davis County Jail on suspicion of child abuse and aggravated murder for Ethan's May 9 death. The prosecutor has said he is awaiting more evidence before seeking charges.
"I don't want any mistakes made at all," Stacy said. "I don't want them getting out of this in any sort of way. They need to pay for taking my son away from me."
Asked whether he supported prosecutors seeking the death penalty against the couple, Stacy said, "death penalty if they can."
The 35-year-old said he plans to attend the trial.
The boy's death has sparked outrage across Utah, where Ethan came to spend the summer with his mother as part of visitation outlined in his parents' divorce decree.
Joe Stacy had hoped Ethan would grow up in Virginia, in the small mountain burgs where he spent his own youth.
Instead, his son has come back under the saddest of circumstances.
Hundreds of mourners filed into the Grundy Funeral Home, which sits in two rectangular red-brick buildings on Main Street amid the lush green Appalachian Mountains that tower over the coal town of about 1,100 people. The community is nestled along the Levisa Fork River, which has flooded nine times since Grundy's inception and is again barely contained in its tree-lined banks.
Inside the funeral home's chapel, three ceiling fans cycled the humid Virginia air as pictures of Ethan flashed across a white screen that hovered above his cobalt blue casket. While Sarah McLachlan's voice soothed "You're in the arms of the angel/May you find some comfort here," photos chronicled Ethan's life from just after birth to hiking, fishing and clowning around with his dad. Some whispered "Isn't that sweet?" at a picture of a beaming Joe Stacy with Ethan in a carrier strapped to his back, while a picture of Ethan with shaving cream on his cheeks and chin elicited chuckles.
The white, pew-lined room filled with sniffles and stifled sobs as minister Mike Rife led the 180 mourners in prayer.
"You know our hearts are in a million pieces, but there is no doubt in my mind you can put together all these hearts," offered Rife, minister of the Church of Christ of Vansant, a neighboring Virginia town.
At least 300 people paid their respects throughout Tuesday's public service in Grundy, but five stuffed bears sent from Utah showed sorrow for Ethan's death was spread even wider.
The Grundy Funeral home had 7,000 page views on its website in four days, funeral director Curtis Mullins said. The site usual garners 3,000 views a month.
Stacy said he has gotten "many, many condolences" from people online and is starting to receive letters, cards and donations from all over the country.
"It's a wonderful feeling there are so many good people out there," he said.
Anthony Hensley, a cousin of Joe Stacy, said Ethan's death was "hard to believe," but the outpouring of support from places such as Utah has offered solace to the family.
Mullins said there have been more than 450 condolences posted on the funeral home's website, and he plans to have them printed in a book for the family.
Ethan will be buried in Clinch Valley Memorial Cemetery in Richlands during a funeral Wednesday, three weeks after his mother signed divorce papers in Florida and brought him to Utah for the summer.
Ethan had been in Layton for one week when, police say, on May 5 31-year-old Nathan Sloop severely beat the child on the head and face.
Nathan and Stephanie Sloop, 27, married the next day at the old memorial courthouse in Farmington, leaving the boy locked in a bedroom without medical attention, according to a police probable cause statement. Investigators say Ethan was also badly burned by Nathan Sloop before his death four days later on Mother's Day.
The Sloops allegedly disfigured his body and buried him off a trail near Powder Mountain Ski Resort, then reported him missing.
Authorities say the couple admitted to the location of his body after a 12-hour search.
Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings said his office is waiting autopsy results and testing of other key evidence before filing charges against the Sloops.
"The primary thing we are waiting for is the medical examiner's report," Rawlings said. "Before we decide on what is the appropriate and most serious charge we can credibly file, we need to understand the cause of death."
The involvement of Ethan's mother, who initially told police she was scared of her husband, could be enough to justify aggravated murder charges against her in addition to her husband, Rawlings said.
"It's our intent to file the most serious charge, with the maximum penalty, that the facts and law allow," he said.
In Utah, aggravated murder charges can carry three penalties: the death penalty, life in prison without parole, or 25 years to life in prison with the option of parole. Prosecutors have 60 days from the preliminary hearing to decide which option to pursue.
Rawlings added that testing is continuing on fluids and tissue samples. He said he hoped the testing will be finished by May 28, when the Sloops are scheduled to again appear in court.

Cope's "How To Train Your Dragon 2" Review
The sequel of "How To Tame Your Dragon," picks up five years later in the island world of Berk, where everything seems to have pretty much gelled between Hiccup (nicely voiced again byJay Baruchel); his dad, Stoick (Gerard Butler); and his dragon pal, Toothless. But you can't have a story without conflict and this one has lots of it. Just when I thought the movie was moving too slowly, all the chaos begins. This one's going to make you cry. And without revealing too much, I question it being released before Father's Day. Don't spend Father's Day with young kids and this one. See it on Saturday or for Friday The 13th Today.
A new character to Dragon 2 is Hiccup's mother, Valka (Cate Blanchett), long thought dead by a dragon attack. Hiccup finds her being a Dragon Master. So she left her family in favor of Dragons, Great!. She reunits with her husband and all is back to normal or is it? Let me just say the next line sums up the picture, ''Good dragons under the control of bad people do bad things.'' You can probably guess the rest. But in the end the good people of Berk prevail again.
3-D and cinematography is brilliant. I took two kids to this one. My daughter Cayley and her schoolmate Emma. They couldn't wait to see it and agreed it was sad at parts but, what's new, they gave it 4 out of 4 stars (really 5 but Shelli only goes up to 4 max)
I give it 3. It's a must see if you're a fan of the Dragon Franchise but it went a little too far with emotional content for the little kids. Tweens you don't have to worry about, they watch things like "Divergent" and "Hunger Games" and "The Fault In Our Stars." This would be an, "Everyone lives happily ever after!" thing.

Events From 2013 That Will Affect the 2016 White House Race
The first presidential primary is still more than two years away and the midterms will almost certainly reshuffle the White House deck of cards, but it's not too early to consider six events in 2013 could resonate in 2016.
1. Hillary Clinton's Benghazi Testimony
Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson incurred a heap of criticism for his dogged questioning of Hillary Clinton in January about the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya. But amid the heated, unscripted exchange, he may have elicited one of the most potent attack lines Republicans will deploy against her if she runs for president.
"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they'd they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."
"What difference at this point does it make?" will be stitched into ads and replayed thousands of times by Republicans and their conservative allies in an effort to vilify Clinton as incompetent and indifferent to the death of four Americans. In her largely risk-free, uncontroversial tenure at Foggy Bottom, Benghazi stands out as flashpoint. It remains an obsession of right-wing media and animates the GOP base. One top Republican strategist calls it "a tire fire that just doesn't go out." And for Clinton's opponents, her testimony only poured gas on the blaze.
2. The Rise of Ted Cruz
A year ago, Ted Cruz was a little-known senator whose aides bristled at questions about his national ambitions. After leading the government shutdown and traveling to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, Cruz's designs couldn't be clearer. While Marco Rubio may have begun the year as the anointed "savior of the Republican Party," Cruz is ending it as the chief ringleader of movement conservatives. While few strategists envision Cruz as the ultimate GOP nominee, his unapologetic, ideological fervor would reshape the field and the primary fight. "Cruz running would inevitably drag the other GOP primary candidates to the right, potentially further than Romney got dragged" said Democratic strategist Ben LaBolt, who served as press secretary for Obama's 2012 campaign. "No doubt he'd create a long list of ideological purity tests that would make it more difficult for the nominee to win the general." Even if Cruz doesn't run, he's asserted himself as a prime player whose blessing will be sought after.
3. Terry McAuliffe's election as Virginia governor
Before this year, Terry McAuliffe was known primarily by Washington insiders as a master moneyman, strategist and mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. As a result of November's election, he'll be soon be introduced to the nation as governor of Virginia—the chief executive of one of the most important battleground states in presidential politics. Strategists on both sides of the aisle have long believed that securing governor's mansions in swing states is one of the most critical factors in determining how a state votes for the White House. Given McAuliffe's close ties with the Clintons, Republicans now fret their chances at capturing the state in 2016 have taken a demonstrable hit. "Bottom line is that the Democrats, particularly Hillary, have established a foothold in a critical state for 2016," said Brett O'Donnell, who has worked on several GOP presidential campaigns. "If anyone believes that Terry McAuliffe was primarily interested in being governor of Virginia for any other person, they are naive. It's a massive change in the balance of power in the state. McAuliffe will do everything in his power to guarantee the state for Hillary."

By David Krueger Herald Writer
SNOHOMISH — Snohomish hadn't had a lot of luck against crosstown rival Glacier Peak in sports this year.
On Saturday afternoon the Panthers' baseball team ended that streak.
After the Grizzlies won handily in football and boys basketball, Snohomish made sure that Glacier Peak would not be victorious in baseball too as the Panthers defeated Glacier Peak 15-4 in a nonleague game.
Snohomish scored six runs in the fourth inning to get the lead and kept piling on the rest of the way.
"I think the kids were pretty jacked because there was a very long game in football this year and a very long game in basketball," said Snohomish head coach Kim Hammons. "They felt that this score was OK."
The Glacier Peak football team defeated Snohomish 43-7 on Sep. 7 and the basketball team won by an even bigger margin, 64-18, in both teams' season opener on Nov. 27.
Hammons called the first official baseball game between the two teams a "pride game" for his players, as well as the Snohomish coaching staff, which used to include, among others, Glacier Peak head coach Bob Blair.
"This is the first game that actually counted. I really like their coaches. They coached with me in that state championship year (2008). Yes, I wanted to come out on top," Hammons said laughing.
Kyle Gionet and Mitchell McCulley helped provide the offense that ensured Snohomish did just that. Gionet batted 3-for-5 with two triples, two RBI and two runs scored and McCulley put an exclamation mark on the victory with a three-run home run to right field in the top of the seventh.
"(McCulley's) got a lot of power," Hammons said. "He's 5-8, 195 pounds and he hits. He led our team in hitting last year. Thank goodness the wind was blowing out."
Hammons also said that Gionet's performance on Saturday was a first in his storied coaching career.
"I think that's the first time — that I recall — ever coaching a player that hit two triples in one game," Hammons said. "It was great for Kyle. Kyle has been hitting the ball hard in the first game and a half, but right at people. Today he hit a hard groundball at the shortstop to start off and then he banged a triple and he got another one."
Snohomish had to reverse an early 4-0 deficit. Glacier Peak third baseman Branson Barnecut hit an RBI double in the bottom of the first, and a three-run triple with the bases loaded in the second inning to account for all four of the Grizzlies' runs.
His third and fourth time up to the plate he was walked, once intentionally.
"He's been our best hitter so far," Blair said. "He went 3-for-4 against Lynnwood and he went 2-for-2 today. Every base hit he's had has been an RBI extra-base hit. He's been our best offensive tool."
The two teams' fortunes flipped in the fourth inning. The Snohomish batters finally got to Glacier Peak starter Tanner Braun while the Grizzlies' offense couldn't get anything going against Panther relievers Russell Crippen, who earned his first win of the season, and Ben Dmochowsky.
"That's the way baseball is sometimes when the wheels come off," Blair said. "There's just no stopping it. We played fine up through the first three innings, couple errors here and there, and all of a sudden you're down. That's just the way baseball is sometimes."
Hammons said his lineup settled down a bit after its first time through the order, which helped it score 15 runs in the last four innings.
"I think our guys went through the order the first time and then they made some adjustments," Hammons said. "Some were a little overanxious, a little overaggressive. … Then finally they relaxed and somehow the balls found holes. Their confidence grew and they started hitting the ball all around the park."
Glacier Peak (1-1 overall) will try to rebound in its final nonconference game against Kamiak on Monday. Blair said it's a long season and the Grizzlies just need to put this early game behind them.
"Just play within yourselves and try not to make a bigger deal out of things than they are," Blair said. "It's only the second game of the season so we just put it behind us and move on. Just take from it what you can and you just move on. There are still 18 games left to play in the regular season."
Win or lose, the Snohomish (1-1) team was just happy to be playing with minimal precipitation falling from the sky. The Panthers have already had one game this year called after four innings because of inclement weather and played their other game, an 8-2 loss to Eastlake, in the rain.
While Snohomish may have gotten used to playing in the rain, after the game Hammons was pleased that the only rain the two teams experienced on Saturday was a light sprinkle in the top of the fifth inning. He didn't complain at all about the high winds that blew throughout most of the game.
"We've played in the rain for a game and a half and it was kind of nice to only have a half-inning of rain," Hammons said.

Digital technology has brought tremendous efficiencies to sectors like insurance, where the ability to take pictures of incidents such as for example damage caused to a car in a collision it can help to speed up the claims process for all parties. On the flip side, this also has implications for subsequently storing the data once a case has been resolved. A large insurance provider in Poland, with branch offices throughout the country, operated a process whereby employees took photos as part of accident investigations. All of those photo files had been stored on local servers and backed up to tapes with loaders.

Washington 69, Oregon State 27
The rushing total for Washington (7-4, 4-4 Pac-12) was its second-highest in team history, while its point total was the most since 1945. Bishop Sankey (179 yards, three TDs), Deontae Cooper (166 yards, two TDs) and Dwayne Washington (141 yards, two TDs) all topped the century mark on the ground. Cyler Miles was solid under center, completing 15-of-24 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown.
For Oregon State (6-5, 4-4), Sean Mannion completed 20-of-41 passes for 229 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions before being pulled for backup Cody Vaz (6-of-8, 79 yards, TD). Brandin Cooks (10 receptions, 117 yards, TD) saw plenty of looks with the Beavers down big, and in the process he became the school's single-season receiving yards leader (1,560). Chris Brown turned just seven carries into 73 yards and a touchdown.
Sankey set the tone in the game's first five minutes by scoring two touchdowns, one from three yards out and the other a five-yarder, to give Washington a quick 14-0 lead. It would add to that advantage before the first quarter was out with a 44-yard field goal by Travis Coons.
Coons connected on another field goal early in the second quarter, this time from 24 yards out. The Huskies kept piling on later in the frame, as Miles hooked up with Kevin Smith for a 28-yard touchdown to give them a commanding 27-0 lead at the break.
The rout continued after halftime. Sankey rushed in another score midway through the frame, this time from eight yards away. Cooper added a two-yard rushing touchdown at the 3:55 mark, and less than two minutes later the defense got involved when Shaq Thompson intercepted a Mannion pass and returned it 80 yards for a score.
The fourth quarter consisted of a lot of scoring that made no impact on the final result of the game. The Beavers got on the board early in the frame on a 29-yard touchdown pass from Mannion to Cooks, although the PAT failed. Washington retaliated less than a minute later when Cooper rushed in a one- yard score, and Washington added another rushing touchdown for the Huskies (32 yards) a little less than a minute later.
Victor Bolden returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown for Oregon State. The Beavers made it 14 unanswered points later in the fourth quarter on a three-yard rushing score by Brown.
Washington ripped off a 71-yard rushing touchdown on the Huskies' next drive, and the busy final quarter wrapped up when Vaz tossed a 33-yard touchdown to Micah Hatfield.
The 69 points allowed by Oregon State is the most it has ever given up in a game.

LAKE ARROWHEAD - Firefighters don't rescue cats from trees any more, but over the weekend, San Bernardino County fire personnel had to rescue a 4-year-old girl who climbed 35 feet up a tree and her father who tried to rescue her, authorities said.
Firefighters received a call Sunday around 5:30 p.m. reporting that a young girl had climbed up a tree and couldn't or wouldn't come down, said Ryan Beckers, a spokesman for the Fire Department.
It appears the girl was playing outside when she momentarily slipped from her parents' view, officials said. They spotted the tyke in purple pajamas making her way up the 40-foot tree in front of their home in the 1200 block of Portillo Lane.
"When we got there, the father was already halfway up the tree," Beckers said.
As the father continued to climb after his daughter, he told rescuers he could feel some of the branches giving way, officials said.
Firefighters took a ladder and propped it against the tree allowing the father to grab his daughter and hand her off to firefighter Jared Newcomber, who was under the father on the rescue ladder.
Both father and daughter managed to get down safely, and no one was injured.

Katherine Heigl Premieres "One For the Money" in Paris
She's no stranger to swanky movie premieres, and Katherine Heigl was back on the red carpet for her "One For the Money" debut in Paris, France on Tuesday night (January 31).
The "Knocked Up" star looked picture-perfect as she posed for pictures and chatted with press before disappearing inside the Cinema Gaumot Marignan venue.
In the film, which hit US theaters last Friday, Heigl's character has a nude shower scene and she recently opened up about it to E! Online.
The 33-year-old confessed, "It's so uncomfortable. You are just never happy with the way you look. No matter how hard I tried or how little I ate that whole day hoping my stomach would stay flat, it doesn't matter."
Enjoy the pictures of Katherine Heigl at the Paris premiere of "One For The Money" (January 31).

Thanks for the posts.
Instead of WINS, couldn't I just use the hosts file on the windows 98 box ??
As for VPN Firewall ACL's.. I agree. We have a good relationship with
the co-lo. My intent would be to prevent VPN access inbound at the
co-lo except from our network.
The only publically accessible inbound protocols at the co-lo, would
be TCP http/https...again except from our network.

Is homebirthing a good choice?
Hello everyone! I just would like to have some insights on, do homebirths offer a more advantage way for delivering a baby, considering that the room to be utilized for delivery is a non-sterile area, plus, the equipment/devices to be needed in case of emergency complications are not readily available.
Thanks in advance for your replies!

These are probably some of the first questions that comes to mind when people think about homebirth and so I'll share my insights on why I chose to have a homebirth 5 times, over hospital births.
Regarding your comment that the room in a hospital where a baby is delivered is sterile. Unless you are in an operating theatre (operating room), the room where you deliver in a hospital is not sterile. Some of the equipment and supplies are sterile, but then again, in a homebirth, there are certain supplies and equipment which are sterile as well.
One of the benefits of a homebirth is that you and your baby are already very familiar with the bacteria and germs in your home. You have been living there and your baby has been living there for 9 months, so they are familiar to your bodies and your bodies already have some resistance to them.
Mom2Many made a wonderful comment on another thread when she saidYou pass antibodies on to your little one through the placenta and breastmilk to protect him/her from these familiar types of bacteria.
In this respect, home birth is sometimes seen as SAFER than hospital birth. The reason being that hospitals are filled with all kinds of bacteria and germs that are not familiar to you and your baby. These are germs that you may never have been exposed to before and have no built up immunity to pass on.
So the home is a far healthier environment for birth as long as you keep your home reasonably clean. This means cleaning your home as if you were having a business associate over for lunch (picked up, counters wiped down, floor swept, food put away, etc.).
As for sterilization of supplies, you would be asked to purchase a birth kit from a company that gets medical supplies from a hospital supply store. Sterilized gloves, unopened gauze squares, etc. etc. etc.
And as for equipment needed for emergency complications. I had one midwife who said that her clients needed to live within 10 minutes of a hospital and she also told me that it takes about 10 minutes for the hospital to set up the operating theatre for a C-Section anyway.
But that aside, midwives are very skilled with their hands and they monitor you very closely during birth - making sure that baby's heart tones are good. They will try different labour positions for mom, to help move labour along or get baby positioned better for delivery. They will use homeopathic remedies and/or herbal teas when needed. And they always have an oxygen tank, and many midwives are allowed to administer pitocin, a medication widely used in hospitals to start/maintain contractions and also is used to help the uterus clamp down after birth, to avoid/stop hemorrhage.
I'm not a midwife so I'm not familiar with what all a midwife carries in her "bag"/car but I have had 5 homebirths, and I had minor complications with my first, 3rd and 5th births, but my midwives were able to handle everything very well. If I had been in the hospital with my first, I most likely would have ended up having a C-Section. My baby's heart tones dropped towards the end, and my midwife needed to help me bring my baby down and out quickly. She gave me an episiotomy and then reached up with her hands and helped to bring that baby down with my contractions. My baby was slightly blue when she was born, so they just put a little oxygen under her nose and she pinked right up.
My 3rd baby was born with a congenital heart defect, and he had a hard time breathing well when he was born, so they took him into a steamy bathroom, and massaged him good. This baby did not need any assistance breathing with oxygen tank or resusci bag (both of which midwives carry) but we did find out a few weeks later that he would have to have open heart surgery.
With the birth of my 5th baby, I hemorrhaged after delivery, but with the assistance of herbs and some injections that my midwife gave me (it was probably pitocin), and some expert work with my midwife's hands, we were able to stop the bleeding and though I was pale, I was actually able to get up to take a shower without fainting. Baby was fine
When call for references on a midwife, I want to talk to women who have had problems during their birth, because I want to know what the midwife's skills are in less than perfect circumstances.
Midwives have a far lower C-Section rate than doctors do (i.e. the number of clients they transfer to the hospital who end up in C-Section). Midwives have a C-Section rate of about 3 1/2 %, as compared to doctors, which are between 25%-35%.
I spent 2 years researching homebirths before I got pregnant and I couldn't have made a better decision. I was totally relaxed at home, didn't have any needles in my arms (though they could have given an IV if needed), could eat and drink as I wanted to, could walk and labour in any position I wanted (or the midwife suggested) and could birth in my preferred position. On top of this, my last 2 births were water births, and were my easiest, fastest births of all (warm water is very relaxing).
Though hospitals are essential when complications occur which cannot be handled at home, a homebirth offers women the opportunity to allow themselves to labour at their own pace and birth occurs in it's own time with less likelihood of complications.
I would encourage you to learn more about homebirth here. There are lots of homebirth stories and resources to help you make the best decision for where you choose to celebrate birth.
Please let me know what your thoughts are after reading this and if you still have some concerns/questions. I'll be happy to share what I know.
Warm Regards,

BWW Reviews: AIDA, the Larger-Than-Life Verdi Opera, Comes to the Met for Another Season
Aida has been among the most popular operas in the Met's repertory since the "German Seasons" in the 1880s and this season's production follows suit. This Sonja Frisell 1988 production of a classic Verdi opera left the audience feeling a wide range of emotions from beginning to end. From the vast Egyptian landscapes to the extraordinary musical talents, Aida at the Met this season is a production to remember.
From the moment the curtain rises, Štefan Kocán (Ramfis) commands the stage with his rich bass tones and sinister appearance. Very quickly appears a Metropolitan Opera favorite, Roberto Alagna, to perform his demanding opening aria, "Celeste Aida" filled with heartfelt agility to produce a solid performance right from the beginning, demonstrating his resonant top notes.
A glorious Met debut for Liudmyla Monastyrska who brings a full bodied and mature soprano voice to the title role. A native of Kiev, Ukraine, Ms. Monastyrska's commandingly huge voice was alluring both when emoting over the entire chorus sound in Act II as well as in the softer moments in Acts III and IV.

You should buy this product
By LSC
from Toronto, ON
This product dries the hair in half the time and leaves it smooth and silky without any frizz.The only negative for this item is the difficulty in accessing the on off buttons, heat button settings and cold air setting. These should be on the inside of the handle and not on the outside.Other than that, it's a very good product and worth the money.
Great purchase
By Mhicks

I don't like buttons on back of handle. I do however love the different settings, the power and of course how quiet it is. I will use everyday.
So far I Love it!, Big, but light!

Very quiet!
By Lauren
from Syracuse, NY
The dryer seems like it is very sturdy. It does seem to take a little longer for the motor to stop than other dryers I've had, but hopefully that's just because it is a strong, powerful motor. But it's VERY QUIET, which is why I bought it. I think a loud noise is not good for your hearing, so close to your ear. I also love the fact that it has a lifetime warranty with Hammacher Sclemmer.

Role reversal for this Seahawks-Giants Matchup
In their Week 5 matchup in 2011, the Seahawks proved to be a bump in the road for the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on their path to the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks won 36-25 on that October afternoon, but the Giants ended up winning it all, while the Seahawks finished 7-9 for the second season in a row.
These teams will tangle again on Sunday, and again at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands. But that's where the similarities end. While many of the players might be the same, it's the Seahawks who own the best record in the NFC (11-2) and already have secured a postseason berth, while the Giants are 5-8 and were officially eliminated from the playoff picture with Sunday's loss to the Chargers in San Diego.
"That's the predicament that we put ourselves in. Nobody did it but us," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Wednesday during a conference-call interview. "We're the ones responsible, and therefore do we have the wherewithal to play three solid games here at the end of the year and perhaps gain some of the respect back that we've had in other years."

A chef whose dog was stolen in a violent burglary has been reunited with her puppy after it was found 50 miles away in a drug raid.
Maria Fodor, 40, of Church Road in Leyton, was slapped round the face and hit with the handle of an axe by masked men who broke into her home after posing as police at 12.30am on January 17.
She could then only watch as the burglars stole her five-month-old American bulldog puppy, MJ, along with mobile phones and a laptop.
But the Covent Garden cook has been reunited with her £2,000 pet after Hampshire police found him during a drugs raid on Sunday.
She said: "I'm very happy. It was the best day of my life because we thought he had gone forever.
"What happened was very terrible. I was so scared. I was so upset and thought I would not see him again."
Police found MJ suffering from an eye infection in the Basingstoke drugs bust.
They contacted wardens from organisation DogLost, who checked the puppy's microchip and discovered he had been reported as stolen.
Miss Fodor, who is now living with her sister as she is too scared to move home, said police then called her and she travelled to Basingstoke to collect her beloved pet on Monday.
Now the chef is using her skills to feed MJ up, who has got a little slim in the three weeks he was missing.
She said: "Today is chicken and rice so he's quite spoiled, but he needs to put on a little weight."
PC Paul Scott of Hampshire Police said: "We are very pleased that we have been able to recover this much-loved family pet and reunite it with its owners.
"This incident highlights the importance of micro-chipping your pets as in this case it has enabled us to identify where the puppy was from and return it to its rightful owners."
Waltham Forest police are appealing for anyone who has any information about the burglary to contact Detective Constable Jack from Waltham Forest Burglary and Robbery Team on 020 8721 504.
To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Did you follow the Wiki guides to get a USB install ?
Hello, im writing this because yesterday i installed Back Track 5 to my SANDISK Cruzer 8GB USB with Lili, it was working perfectly (exept the Wifi wich wouldnt start) anyway after i failed miserably i went to sleep.
The next day i booted my PC and StartX wouldnt even work.
It sends me a very long list of errors wich look like:
I Decided to go to safe mode to see if it worked, what surprised me is that it worked perfectly, even better than the first time i booted it, and i even was able to have the wifi card working in seconds after installing the firmware (i spent 4 hours browsing the internet unsuccesfully before that trying to make it work)HTML Code:55.942333 EXT2-FS Loop1 error ext2_lookup deleted inode referenced 384064 (like hundreds of these) FATAL ERROR SERVER Cannot move old log file var/log/Xorg0.log to /var/log Xorg.0.log.old Please Contact the X.ORG Foundation ddxSigGiveup Closing Log giving up xinit no such file or directory errno2 unable to connect to X server xinit no such process errno3 server error
My main problem is that i CANT reinstall bt5 currently to the usb, for some complex reasons.
Am i stuck on Debug mode? (i dont really mind that much tought) or is there a way to fix it?
And if i am, can i make it so that the backtrack options menu wont appear anymore and just go directly to backtrack debug - safe mode?
Thanx you very much everyone.
Did you follow the Wiki guides to get a USB install ?
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
It seems to me like video issue..From the beginning. Safe mode will start the X's with default screen resolution.....
Nope, it isnt graphic issue, it still throws StartX error on other laptops.
Nope, i cant reinstall it. I only have my crappy laptop without hardrive and my cellphone internet connection with me.
Thanx you.
As a side note, is there a way to make some "persistent" changes on safe mode? just gettin the tools i use the most on desktop and having all drivers installed from the beginning to evoid having to unpack them and install them from the USB would help me a lot.
Well, if you say you did not touch anything in USB install and from one day to the other, it just stop working as it should, still, the error is a video issue, I never said it was a DRIVER issue, is about the X server.
There must be something wrong with the filesystem (ext4, ext3)..I recommend to reinstall.
Sorry, I see no other way, again it might be a filesystem problem due to a bad usb stick, so it makes fail some other parts like the X server to crash, sometimes the wifi card, etc.
You might want to re install, sorry.

Wittenberg Student Peace Alliance Recognized By Student Senate
December 3, 2012
Filed in Community
Springfield, Ohio – Wittenberg University's Office of Student Involvement encourages students to participate in organizations and programs that reflect their interests as a foundation for leadership opportunities and a broader college experience, a message five students who share a common interest in promoting peace have taken to heart.
Surprised to learn that Wittenberg did not have an active student organization to meet their concerns, the students began initiatives to establish an organization to represent their interests. In October, their efforts were rewarded as Student Senate officially approved and recognized the Wittenberg Student Peace Alliance.
Courtney Biede from Highland Park, Ill.; Alexa Konowal from Canton, Ohio; Leslie Goshia from Bryan, Ohio; Rachael Mains from Columbus, Ohio; and Maggi Quigley from Elmhurst, Ill., all members of the class of 2015, received assistance from Professor of Geography Olga Medvedkov and Sociology and Geography Department Assistant Peggy Hanna, who is a longtime activist in peace issues, politics and community service.
Hanna, who received the Wittenberg Women of Accomplishment Award in 1986, is the author of Patriotism, Peace and Vietnam: A Memoir. She directed the students to The Peace Alliance, which is described as "an alliance of organizers and advocates throughout the United States taking the work of peace-building from the margins of society into the centers of national discourse and policy priorities. Our network includes volunteer grassroots teams in hundreds of cities, towns, colleges and high school campuses."
Quigley has a background in Model United Nations, which taught her to write resolutions for debate and articulate problems and solutions, skills that have already come in handy as a founding member of the Wittenberg Student Peace Alliance.
"We learned to discuss why we disagree, to take what we were learning and how to speak up," she said. "We did so much research. It was amazing how much digging we had to do to find information."
The organization's founding members started out by meeting regularly to focus on local initiatives, like encouraging peaceful actions against conflict and bullying. They have worked with children in the Springfield Promise Neighborhood, and they visited the Dayton International Peace Museum.
As they sought to discover campus interest in their proposed organization, the students received more than 70 responses from other students who shared their desire for a more secure and peaceful society.
"We are planning to get in to the school systems in the Springfield area with an anti-bullying campaign, which I hope that will grow into more of a connection with the kids as a mentor program that will make a greater impact for them," said Biede, president of the group. "I hope to help them see how being a peaceful person can improve their daily life so that they will continue with it.
"My hope is that this group will affect the Wittenberg and Springfield communities and then those people will take their peace with them to wherever they go, and they will help the people they meet there, and this will continue so that more people can see a more peaceful way of living."
Konowal, vice president of the organization, knows first-hand the benefits a group such as theirs can bring to a community.
"I come from a very service-oriented family and have been involved in community service from an early age, due mostly to my mother's influence, and her habit of volunteering me for things," she said. "My experiences have made me realize how much anger and hostility is in this world, but also that violence can be prevented. I believe in the Wittenberg Student Peace Alliance's mission because its members understand the importance of spreading peace, and we are determined to see change happen."

I think this is less about copying Apple and more about fending off any competition from other Android manufacturers. The HTC One received a lot of critical praise and sold very well (even though not as well as the S4.) The Galaxy line has flourished against the iPhone which has always had better materials. When looking at potential competitors and the fact that many are using materials other than plastic, Samsung has to step up it's game. They know they can't kill Apple, but they do need to make sure they maintain dominance of the Android ecosystem.
Still though Samsung will lead on android end, whether its plastic or not. they will continue to recycle components from their flagship into their phablet and attempt to build new driver code for components for the same hardware in each and attempt to offer up new features, but still produce crappy quality if not depleting the hardware even more by some of the changes made in the coding that will then be backported by developers(root users as well) to get it back to sub par usage. just my 2 cents....
I like how they used the term mirroring instead of "copy" lol. S4 was nothing more than a camera and video upgrade mainly, plus stretch out the screen in the same S3 frame. Then of course the new useless software features. Then even for the new stuff being released today, can't believe there still running the same old snapdragon CPU lol. Come on that's like 2 yrs old now!
Yeah, that's why Samsung stock dropped 5% to start the new year!
yes this is nice information but any one can tell me when the price may be reduce. I am interested on it thanks.
