The Atkins Diet is a popular low-carbohydrate eating plan created in 1972 by cardiologist Robert C. Atkins. The Atkins Diet restricts carbs (carbohydrates) while emphasizing protein and fats.
The Atkins Diet has several phases for weight loss and maintenance, starting out with a very low carbohydrate eating plan. The Atkins Diet, formally called the Atkins Nutritional Approach, has been detailed in many books and is credited with launching the low-carb diet trend.
The purpose of the Atkins Diet is to change your eating habits to help you lose weight and keep it off. The Atkins Diet also says it's a healthy lifelong approach to eating, whether you want to lose weight, boost your energy or help improve certain health problems, such as high blood pressure or metabolic syndrome.
You might choose to follow the Atkins Diet because you:
Check with your doctor or health care provider before starting any weight-loss diet, especially if you have any health conditions, such as diabetes or kidney disease.
The main dietary focus of the Atkins Diet is eating the right balance of carbohydrates, protein and fats for optimal weight loss and health. According to the Atkins Diet, obesity and related health problems, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease, are the fault of the typical low-fat, high-carbohydrate American diet. The Atkins Diet says that you don't need to avoid fatty cuts of meat or trim off excess fat. Rather, controlling carbs is what's important.
The Atkins Diet holds that eating too many carbohydrates — especially sugar, white flour and other refined carbs — leads to blood sugar imbalances, weight gain and cardiovascular problems. To that end, the Atkins Diet restricts carbohydrates and encourages eating more protein and fat. However, the Atkins Diet says it is not a high-protein diet.
Like many diet plans, the Atkins Diet continues to evolve. It now encourages eating more high-fiber vegetables, accommodates vegetarian and vegan needs, and addresses health problems that may arise when initially starting a low-carb diet.
The Atkins Diet doesn't require calorie counting or portion control. It does require you to track your carbs, though. It uses a system called net carbs, which is the total carbohydrate content of an item minus its fiber content. For example, a half-cup of raw broccoli has 2.3 grams of total carbs and 1.3 grams of fiber, putting its net carb value at 1 gram.
The Atkins Diet says its approach to carbs will burn off your body's fat stores, regulate your blood sugar and help you achieve optimal health, while not leaving you feeling hungry or deprived. Once you're at your goal weight, the Atkins Diet also says it will help you identify your personal carbohydrate tolerance — the number of grams of net carbs you can eat each day without gaining or losing weight.
Although the Atkins Diet originally said that exercise wasn't vital for weight loss, it now acknowledges that exercise is important to weight loss and maintenance, as well as for achieving other health benefits.
The Atkins Diet has four phases. Depending on your weight-loss goals, you can start at any of the first three phases.
Here's a look at what you might eat during a typical day on phase 1 of the Atkins Diet:
The Atkins Diet says that you can lose 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) in the first two weeks of phase 1 — but it also acknowledges that those aren't typical results. The Atkins Diet also acknowledges that you may initially lose water weight. It says that you'll continue to lose weight in phases 2 and 3 as long as you don't eat more carbs than your body can tolerate.
Most people can lose weight on almost any diet plan that restricts calories — at least in the short term. Over the long term, though, studies show that low-carb diets like Atkins are no more effective for weight loss than are standard weight-loss diets and that most people regain the weight they lost regardless of diet plan.
However, studies have shown that people who continued to follow diet plans, such as Atkins, for two years did lose an average of nearly 9 pounds (4.1 kilograms) overall. Some studies suggest that it's not cutting carbs that leads to weight loss with Atkins. Instead, you may shed pounds because your food choices are limited, and you eat less since the extra protein and fat keep you feeling full longer.
The Atkins Diet says that its eating plan can prevent or improve serious health conditions, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. In fact, almost any diet that helps you shed excess weight can reduce or even reverse risks factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
And most weight-loss diets — not just low-carb diets — may improve blood cholesterol or blood sugar levels, at least temporarily. One study showed that people who followed Atkins had improved triglycerides, suggesting better heart health. But there have been no major studies to show whether such benefits hold up for the long term or increase how long you live.
Some health experts believe that eating a large amount of fat and protein from animal sources, as allowed on the Atkins Diet, can increase your risk of heart disease or some cancers. However, it's not known what risks, if any, the Atkins Diet may pose over the long term because most of the studies about it have lasted for two years or less.
The Atkins Diet acknowledges that drastically cutting carbs in the early phase of the program can result in some side effects, including:
In addition, some very low carb diets restrict carbohydrates so much that they result in nutritional deficiencies or insufficient fiber, which can cause such health problems as constipation, diarrhea and nausea.
Eating carbs that are high fiber, whole grain and nutrient dense can improve the health profile of programs like the Atkins Diet, though. In addition, the Atkins Diet has changed over time to help prevent health problems, and it now recommends taking a small amount of extra salt, along with vitamins or supplements.
It's also possible that restricting carbohydrates to less than 20 grams a day — the level recommended for phase 1 of the diet — can result in ketosis. Ketosis occurs when you don't have enough sugar (glucose) for energy, so your body breaks down stored fat, causing ketones to build up in your body. Side effects from ketosis can include nausea, headache, mental fatigue and bad breath.
In addition, the Atkins Diet isn't appropriate for everyone. For example, the Atkins Diet recommends that you consult your doctor before starting the diet if you take diuretics, insulin or oral diabetes medications. In addition, people with severe kidney disease should not follow the diet, and the weight-loss phases of the diet aren't suitable for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.

So what happened on Friday in Newton Connecticut is really, really heartbreaking. I tried my typical approach of turning off all news to shield my heart from too much sorrow.

So what will be happening with all of the space that the physical books used to take up at the bookstore once the online bookstore has been established?
The UAF Bookstore will expand offerings in other areas that have been requested by the campus community, to include more UAF apparel and gifts, as well as continuing to sell office and school supplies, technology and general books, and sundries. Visit the FAQs for more information.
Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008
When will UAF post MP3 audio podcast files of important talks such as the chancellor's convocation talk? IPods and MP3 players work anytime/anywhere! What could be more convenient?
As stated in an earlier grapevine response (Oct. 3), UAF is exploring ways to have podcasts available for future lectures. Stay tuned!
Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2008
Rumor has it the university is planning to build an on-campus multi-ice rink sports center for hockey with a speed skating rink. Is this true? There is also talk of trying to get business sponsorships to fund it (like the UAA business building). Is that true?
UAF has no plans to build a new sports center anytime in the near future.
Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2008
Is the UAF portal (MyUA) going to be moved to, or become an Igoogle site with the new move to Gmail? Since you use your Gmail email account to log into Igoogle, wouldn't it be a bit easier than the authserv system, not to mention more useful? If so, would there be a UA or UAF theme for Igoogle?
UA is not considering moving the university portal to an iGoogle site. However, individuals and groups are free to create iGoogle sites for themselves and share them. Since we aren't able to offer substantial storage space for student groups to house their club and group websites, iGoogle sites are a natural fit and we encourage student groups to utilize this new resource.
Monday, Oct. 27, 2008
Is the UAF Bookstore outsourcing? Does this mean that students will no longer be able to buy books on campus? If this is true what are the plans for students who add courses late or do a drop/swap after classes have started?
Textbooks will be available only though an online vendor starting with spring 2009. In working to provide lower prices and improve service, the university tested this model with great success. The online textbook vendor has a generous return time policy, increasing students' ability to return or exchange books. More information, including an FAQ, will be available soon on the Bookstore website at www.uaf.edu/bookstore/.

Will the university be providing flu shots for faculty and staff this year? I know some years they have and other years they haven't, but it would be nice to know before paying for the shot elsewhere.
The Center for Health & Counseling provides free flu shots to UAF students at the center or at outreach clinics (watch the Sun Star for dates, places and times). Per the UA Health in Action Team (WIN for Alaska), there are plans underway for providing flu shots for faculty and staff. Details will be in an upcoming Health Link.

Has UAF been considering changing most of the dorms on campus to single occupancy for increased safety, appeal, and to achieve maximum occupancy ratings? Rumor has it that students living in single room accommodations are safer, less stressed, and do better in school resulting in higher grades and better health. Is there any truth to all that?
While we are not planning to change most of the residence halls on campus to single occupancy, the Department of Residence Life tries to make as many single rooms available each year as possible. The demand for on-campus housing is the primary factor in determining how many private rooms can be offered. Each year the Residence Life staff estimates the projected demand for on-campus housing and designates a set number of double rooms that will be available for students to live in alone. Regardless of the demand for on-campus housing, Residence Life is committed to offering some double rooms as singles to accommodate upper-class and graduate students. Our students' desire for privacy in their living arrangements is well understood. Our ability to meet their expectations for private accommodations is limited by the design and number of our residence halls. As we begin the process of trying to build a new residential facility, access to private rooms will be a top priority.
Residence Life is not aware of any research that supports the rumor that single occupancy rooms are safer, less stressful or lead to higher grades. We are well aware that single occupancy rooms are more desirable for students, and we are striving to accommodate that need.

Hi, I have a question about campus housing. The chancellor has said that building a new dormitory is a priority. Last year in the Sunstar there was an article about how Lathrop Hall was turned into a "hotel" because there were not enough students living on campus to fill it. I understand that the dorms are outdated, but how can we know that there will be enough student interest to fill a new dorm, when the ones that we do have can't be filled?
UAF is looking to build a new residence hall not because we are filling our current halls to capacity, but because the residence halls we have are outdated and do not meet current student needs. With the exception of the Cutler Apartments and the privately funded MacLean House, UAF has not constructed any new residence halls since the early 1970s. Today's students are looking for different living arrangements in their residence life experience compared to students in the 1970s, and we need to provide those arrangements to better attract and retain students. Survey data from the admitted student questionnaire shows that residence halls are very important in the selection of a university, and UAF's residence halls are seen to be inadequate by students choosing not to attend UAF.
Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2008
I've heard that UAF may soon be implementing a hiring freeze. Is this true, and if so, does it apply to staff, faculty specifically or all job classes University wide?
According to John Duhamel, acting director for UAF Human Resources, UAF is not in a hiring freeze. The rumor could be based on an initiative at UA Statewide to review all new hires for UA Statewide positions only. This review is a cost-savings measure which could (depending on the review) delay hiring for a particular position at Statewide. Aside from this initiative, to possibly delay hiring vacant positions for Statewide only, UAF has not had any discussions on this subject.

Did the UAF Museum at one point have a train in their collection a long time ago (1960's or before)??? Rumor had it that they had what was the first train in Alaska at some point.
The UA Museum of the North has no reference to a train/railroad car in the history collection of the museum. On a related subject, however, the oldest operating steam locomotive in Alaska and the Yukon Territory, Engine #1, is featured in Pioneer Parks' Tanana Valley Railroad Museum.
Here are a few references you may find interesting:

I heard that Judyth Wier, associate vice chancellor for development, is leaving UAF. Is this true?
Yes. Judyth Wier, associate vice chancellor for development, will be leaving UAF to become the executive director of advancement for the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine in Baton Rouge, La., on Nov. 30.
Friday, Oct. 17, 2008
In the last couple of years UAF has been moving their websites to the Roxen Content Management System (CMS) which is a proprietary system. I have heard rumor they are thinking of moving to a open source CMS such as Drupal which is written in a more common programming language (PHP), or moving to Google Sites with the Google email move. Is this true? Are we going to move to an open source CMS or Google sites?
There are no plans at present to migrate to a different Web Content Management System.
Regarding Google Sites: Now that it has been decided that UAF is migrating to Google Applications for Education, Google Sites will be available for everyone. This means that students, faculty, staff, and various organizations will be able to publish personal, project , and organization web sites.

Has the SRC moved to the Division of Student Enrollment Services?
The Student Recreation Center (SRC) is currently part of the Department of Athletics and Recreation. The entire Athletics and Recreation department used to be under Student and Enrollment Services at one time, but it has been part of the University Advancement division since 2005.
Friday, Oct. 17, 2008
Can you detail the funding source for the electronic speed sign recently installed across from the MBS Complex?
There are actually two signs, one across from the MBS Complex and a second across from the SRC. The funding source is from the Facilities Services' Operations general fund.
Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2008
I submitted a question to the UAF Grapevine and got a response in two seconds. The response was a form response too. Is this an automated system??? I thought this was where you posted a question, and someone tried to run down an answer. If this is just a search engine it should have just said so. That is rather deceptive.
The Grapevine is not an automated system or search engine, but there is an automated thank you web page that appears once a question is submitted. The system e-mails submitted questions to Marketing and Communications; staff members research the issues, write the responses and post them to the Grapevine website. If an e-mail address is provided on the form, the person also gets a personal reply.
Thursday, Oct. 9, 2008
I understand that UAF has access to a web content management system and that we will be required to use it. Is this true? How does one go about using it and is there a deadline for converting to the new system?
UAF has been transitioning to a web content management system, Roxen, since early this year. It is available to UAF departments. Eventually the old UAF Apache web server will be retired, but that won't occur until all web pages and content have been converted to web content management. For more information, visit the UAF web CMS FAQ page at http://www.alaska.edu/oit/cas/projects/uaf-wcm-migration/faqs/.

Does the UAF Police Department still have a dog as a part of their police force?
The UAF Police Department retired their police K-9 a couple of years ago, and unfortunately, due to the general expense of the K-9 program, they have decided not to continue with the program.
Friday, Oct. 3, 2008
Will Dr. Jeffrey Pfeffer's lecture (on 9/23/08) be made available via webcast to allow those of us who couldn't attend an opportunity to hear his talk? Please do, if possible.
Unfortunately Dr. Pfeffer's lecture wasn't taped, however UAF is exploring ways to have podcasts available for future lectures.

Weissman's long-delayed Luxury set to open Sunday
Updated 11:29 am, Friday, March 1, 2013
More than two years behind schedule, The Luxury from chef and restaurateur Andrew Weissman is set to open Sunday.
The cargo containers-turned-dining spot at 103 E. Jones Ave., adjacent to the San Antonio Museum of Art, includes an intriguing yet compact menu of sandwiches, including a crispy fish banh mi, lamb souvlaki and pork milanesa; salads that include one made of kale; and desserts that include espresso ice cream, arroz con leche and caramel pudding.
Another of the cargo containers will hold about a dozen kegs of different beers.
One wrinkle with this type of project is the likelihood that they'll run out of items, a prospect the meticulous Weissman does not enjoy.
Food & Drink Channel
The delays were for a variety of reasons, often involving permits, but now everything is ready to go.
Leading the kitchen at The Luxury is Tim Donovan, who had worked at Weissman's seafood temple, The Sandbar.
Weissman said his employees have been working around the clock to get everything ready for today. It should open around noon, but that time isn't exact.
"We're going to open up when we're ready to go," he said. "We're going to do our best."
Moore leaves Boiler House
James Moore recently left Boiler House to launch a neighborhood cocktail lounge on North St. Mary's Street that is scheduled to open in April.
The small eclectic bar menu also will have food.
H-E-B celebrates TexFest
H-E-B is promoting all things Texan and encouraging customers to "go local" through March 12.
Stores throughout the state will celebrate with cooking demonstrations and signage that features Texas-made products.
Recipe cards featuring Texas products for dishes such as bacon and jalapeño potato salad and bodacious pot roast will be available.
Guests can also enjoy saving opportunities with Meal Deals and Combo Locos.

Dojo build layers provide a clean path from development to production when using Dojo for your UI layer. In development, you can have load-on-demand, rapid application prototyping; a build layer takes all Dojo dependencies and compiles them to a single file, optionally stripping whitespace and comments, and performing code heuristics to allow further minification of variable names. Additionally, it can do CSS minification.
In order to create a build layer, you would traditionally create a
JavaScript file that has
dojo.require statements for
each dependency, and optionally some additional code that might run
when the script is loaded. As an example:
dojo.provide("custom.main"); dojo.require("dijit.layout.TabContainer"); dojo.require("dijit.layout.ContentPane"); dojo.require("dijit.form.Form"); dojo.require("dijit.form.Button"); dojo.require("dijit.form.TextBox");
This script is generally referred to as a "layer" script.
Then, in your application's layout, you'd instruct Dojo to load this module:
If you use
Zend_Dojo to do this, you'd do the
$view->dojo()->registerModulePath('custom', '../custom/') ->requireModule('custom.main');
But since
Zend_Dojo aggregates your various
dojo.require statements, how do you create your layer
script? You could open each page and view the generated
dojo.require statements, and cut and paste them into a
layer script file manually.
However, a better solution exists: since
Zend_Dojo aggregates this information
already, you can simply pull that information and build your layer
file. This is the purpose of
At its simplest, you simply instantiate
Zend_Dojo_BuildLayer, feed it the view object
and the name of your custom module layer, and have it generate the
content of the layer file; it is up to you to then write it to disk.
As an example, let's say you wanted to create the module layer "custom.main". Assuming you follow the recommended project directory structure, and that you are storing your JavaScript files under public/js/, you could do the following:
$build = new Zend_Dojo_BuildLayer(array( 'view' => $view, 'layerName' => 'custom.main', )); $layerContents = $build->generateLayerScript(); $filename = APPLICATION_PATH . '/../public/js/custom/main.js'; if (!dir_exists(dirname($filename))) { mkdir(dirname($filename)); } file_put_contents($filename, $layerContents);
When should you do the above? For it to work correctly, you need to do it after all view scripts and the layout have been rendered, to ensure that the dojo() helper is fully populated. One easy way to do so is using a front controller plugin, with a dispatchLoopShutdown() hook:
class App_Plugin_DojoLayer extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract { public $layerScript = APPLICATION_PATH . '/../public/js/custom/main.js'; protected $_build; public function dispatchLoopShutdown() { if (!file_exists($this->layerScript)) { $this->generateDojoLayer(); } } public function getBuild() { if (null === $this->_build) { $this->_build = new Zend_Dojo_BuildLayer(array( 'view' => $view, 'layerName' => 'custom.main', )); } return $this->_build; } public function generateDojoLayer() { $build = $this->getBuild(); $layerContents = $build->generateLayerScript(); if (!dir_exists(dirname($this->layerScript))) { mkdir(dirname($this->layerScript)); } file_put_contents($this->layerScript, $layerContents); } }
Note: Do not generate the layer on every page
It's tempting to generate the layer script on each and every page. However, this is resource intensive, as it must write to the disk on each page. Additionally, since the mtime of the file will keep changing, you will get no benefits of client-side caching. Write the file once.
The above functionality will suffice for most situations. For those needing more customization, a variety of options may be invoked.
While the view object may be passed during instantiation, you may also pass it in to an instance via the setView() method:
While the layer name may be passed during instantiation, you may also pass it in to an instance via the setLayerName() method:
dojo.addOnLoad is a useful utility for
specifying actions that should trigger when the DOM has
finished loading. The dojo() view helper can
create these statements via its
addOnLoad() and
onLoadCapture*() methods. In some
cases, it makes sense to push these into your layer file
instead of rendering them via your view scripts.
By default, these are not rendered; to enable them, pass the consumeOnLoad configuration key during instantiation:
$build = new Zend_Dojo_BuildLayer(array( 'view' => $view, 'layerName' => 'custom.main', 'consumeOnLoad' => true, ));
Alternately, you can use the setConsumeOnLoad() method after instantiation:
The dojo() view helper includes methods for
capturing arbitrary JavaScript to include in the
<script> tag containing the various
dojo.require and
statements. This can be useful when creating default data
stores or globally scoped objects used throughout your
$build = new Zend_Dojo_BuildLayer(array( 'view' => $view, 'layerName' => 'custom.main', 'consumeJavascript' => true, ));
Alternately, you can use the setConsumeJavascript() method after instantiation:
One of the chief benefits of a Dojo module layer is that it
facilitates the creation of a custom build.
Zend_Dojo_BuildLayer has functionality for
generate build profiles.
The simplest use case is to utilize the generateBuildProfile() method and send the output to a file:
$build = new Zend_Dojo_BuildLayer(array( 'view' => $view, 'layerName' => 'custom.main', )); $profile = $build->generateBuildProfile(); $filename = APPLICATION_PATH . '/../misc/scripts/custom.profile.js'; file_put_contents($filename, $profile);
Just like generating layers, you may want to automate this via a dispatchLoopShutdown() plugin hook; you could even simply modify the one shown for generating layers to read as follows:
class App_Plugin_DojoLayer extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract { public $layerScript = APPLICATION_PATH . '/../public/js/custom/main.js'; public $buildProfile = APPLICATION_PATH . '/../misc/scripts/custom.profile.js'; protected $_build; public function dispatchLoopShutdown() { if (!file_exists($this->layerScript)) { $this->generateDojoLayer(); } if (!file_exists($this->buildProfile)) { $this->generateBuildProfile(); } } public function generateDojoLayer() { /* ... */ } public function generateBuildProfile() { $profile = $this->getBuild()->generateBuildProfile(); file_put_contents($this->buildProfile, $profile); } }
As noted, with module layers, you should only create the file once.
The above functionality will suffice for most situations. The only way to customize build profile generation is to provide additional build profile options to utilize.
As an example, you may want to specify what type of optimizations should be performed, whether or not to optimize CSS files in the layer, whether or not to copy tests into the build, etc. For a listing of available options, you should read the » Dojo Build documentation and » accompanying documentation.
Setting these options is trivial: use the addProfileOption(), addProfileOptions(), or setProfileOptions() methods. The first method adds a single key and value option pair, the second will add several, and the third will overwrite any options with the list of key and value pairs provided.
By default, the following options are set:
{ action: "release", optimize: "shrinksafe", layerOptimize: "shrinksafe", copyTests: false, loader: "default", cssOptimize: "comments" }
You can pass in whatever key and value pairs you want; the Dojo build script will ignore those it does not understand.
As an example of setting options:
// A single option: $build->addProfileOption('version', 'zend-1.3.1'); // Several options: $build->addProfileOptions(array( 'loader' => 'xdomain', 'optimize' => 'packer', )); // Or overwrite options: $build->setProfileOptions(array( 'version' => 'custom-1.3.1', 'loader' => 'shrinksafe', 'optimize' => 'shrinksafe', ));

Angel Macias and Mexican-American music superstar Jenni Rivera, who was killed in a tragic plane crash Dec. 9, never met face-to-face, but they knew each other well.
The common bond between them was their passion to help women and children who were survivors of domestic violence.
Nine years ago, Macias founded California Families in Focus, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help families struggling to break free of abuse, both physical and mental. CFF has worked with many women's shelters during that time.
The centerpiece of CFF's fundraising efforts throughout the year is the Spirit of Christmas Brunch that will be held today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Gaslamp Restaurant, 6251 E. Pacific Coast Highway.
Macias said this year's brunch, which will serve more than 700 children and families, will have an extra special and poignant meaning because of the involvement of the Jenni Rivera Love Foundation.
"She has sent us a van filled with women's pajamas and slippers," Macias said. "This touched me so much. Last year she sent us a van filled with toys for the children."
Macias said she has always admired Rivera for her outspoken support of women wounded by domestic violence. And she said they had several things in common.
"We both suffered through domestic violence," she said. "We both had babies when we were 15, and we were born in the same year (1969, Rivera in July and Macias in November)."
Macias also knew members of Rivera's family. While a health education teacher at Millikan High School, Macias came in contact with sisters Nancy and Cynthia Saveedra, who were students and cousins of Rivera.
Macias had a rough life growing up in a gang-infested area in Los Angeles.
"I hung around with gang members," she said. "I was running wild in the streets. I was young and irresponsible. My friends were getting shot and going to prison. I thought I'd die in Culver City."
Macias moved to Long Beach but discovered that living with one particular man was a nightmare.
"There was terrible abuse, and I just had to get out of that relationship, but it took seven years," she said.
Macias has four daughters from three different men.
"I've learned a lot from these relationships, and my mission now is to try to help others avoid the traps I fell into," she said.
Her first job was working at the Long Beach Health Department helping young Latinas with health education. She later worked at St. Mary Medical Center, helping young women learn how to be good mothers and to raise their self-esteem.
Macias created California Families in Focus with special emphasis on mentoring youths through health programs, gang prevention workshops and leadership development.
"We want young people to reach their full potential by raising their self-esteem and empowering them to do their best," she said.
And that's why she reached out to Jenni Rivera.
"She had the same kind of compassion for families that needed help," Macias said. "I finally got a call from Jack Flores, one of her staff members, who said Jenni was touched by what we were doing and wanted to help. We were kind of mirrors of each other."
That led to Rivera donating toys last year and the pajamas and slippers this year.
"Working with Jack and the Jenni Rivera Love Foundation has been such an honor," Macias said.
This year's Christmas Brunch will benefit the women and children living at the Women's Shelter of Long Beach, Tarzana Treatment Center and Woman to Woman.
In addition to their many volunteers helping out, Macias said they also are expecting some 400 motorcycle riders from the California Riders Coalition bringing toys to the children today.
California Families in Focus also will present the coveted Angel Award to the Jenni Rivera family in memory of Rivera.
Macias said she was planning to meet Rivera in person when they could work out their schedules.
"Then this tragic plane crash happened and she was taken from us, but I know she will be with us in spirit (today)," Macias said.

X3 memory seats have a mind of their own
Can anyone explain to me exactly how the memory seats work in my 2007 X3 3.0si (key settings vs buttons on side of seat)?
I've tried to get my dealer to explain it to me, but that isn't helping. My wife and I each have a key, and we both would like to have unique seat/mirror settings.
Here's the way I think it should work, but it doesn't always work this way (and I'm not sure why -- and I don't think the dealer knows either):
- (My key) -- unlock the vehicle when the unlock button is pressed
- (My key) -- move the driver seat and mirrors to the location that I use everytime I drive the vehicle
- (My wife's key) -- unlock the vehicle when the unlock button is pressed
- (My wife's key) -- move the driver seat and mirrors to the location that she uses everytime she drive the vehicle
What's happening for us?
- whenever I use my key to unlock the vehicle, it will sometimes go to my seat/mirror settings (sometimes it will go to seat/mirror settings which seem to be my wife's settings--definitely not mine)
- whenever my wife uses her key to unlock the vehicle, it always goes to her seat/mirror settings
- whenever I have both keys in my hand, and I am trying to show the above scenario to the dealer, it works the way I think it should work (argh!!!)
* we both lock the vehicle at all times with our keys (even when it is in the garage)
I have exactly same problem with the 2007 X3! I plan to raise it with the dealer during my first service appointment. For now I just resigned to using the seat button whenever the seat is in the wrong position.
I'm also having problems with the reverse tilt down feature of the passenger side mirror. It seems to only work whenever it feels like it...(same key every time)
Same problem here. My service advisor quasi-explained it to me and it is typical of the Germans. The seat memory buttons are independent of the key fob, in certain instances. When you unlock the car, the seats will go to the position the seats were in the last two times the car was locked with that fob. So, if you happen to use your wife's keys and left the seats in your memory position the last two times the car was locked with her fob, the seats will go to your position when you unlock it. My wife and I often split the driving duties, so we often share a set of keys. An evening with a couple of stops and locks with the same fob totally screws up the auto settings. By the way, this system will record any position the seats are in, not just the memory button settings. So, another driver's seat position may be recorded as well. This can easily occur at the dealership if the car is moved and locked two times. The Germans reason that if the seats are in a particular position the last two times the fob was used to lock the car, then that's where they should be. Doesn't matter where YOU want them.
Regarding the dipping reverse mirror, the mirror control button has to be to one side. I believe it is the LEFT side for a RIGHT dipping mirror. Ah, German logic once again.
I recently received a J. D. Power car owner survey. You can rest assured that they heard soundly about the totally confusing and irrational seat memory system as well as the incomprehensible stereo system controls and markings on the "Business" sound system. What the devil does the designation "Business" mean?
Don't get me wrong, I love my BMW's, but they should hire Japanese engineers to design these most simplistic functions. Better yet, BMW could just buy a Honda and copy their seat memory system.
Here is the story for MY 2004. I can't tell you if it changed for later years. Some of the following is fact, some just what I have surmized. (You can try to separate these out.)
Background: BMW used to give stickers/flags to code the keys so you could distinquish key #1 from #2, etc. They stopped doing this in North America because they noticed that this didn't match common usage (one key per driver) and explanations were too complex. So the "system" is still there, but basically unused and unexplained.
Usage: The seat memory buttons and the keys interact. They are NOT independent. In some models the key settings also cover heating & ventilation, mirror positions etc. But I don't think the heating/ventilation is tied into the memory programming of the X3.
Procedure: WIth the car turned on via key #1, set the seat memory for button #1. (Set the seat positions, press M so it lights up, press button 1. The light will go off and the first memory position is stored.) Turn off the car and remove the key.
If you want, repeat this for key #2 and button 2. If you want, store a third position in button #3 (there is no key #3).
From now on, until you replace the settings in the memories, unlocking and starting the car with key #N will return the seat to memory position #N, where N = 1 or 2.
As to:
Just a side note, my 2007 X3 came with the color stickers to help identify the keys. I found them mixed in with the owner's manual and other materials.
Also, like I stated in my previous post, the right mirror dipping in reverse function only works when it wants to. The button is always set to the left/driver's side - I never toggle it from there. It's always a nice surprise when it does decide to work though...lol
I wish these things were my mistake because then they'd have a simple fix. I'm in IT so I'd like to think I can follow instructions a little better than the common ape can...:dunno:
We, too, got the color coded stickers, but so far haven't bothered to try and program the keys - partially because of what I read on here!! Doesn't seem to be worth the hassle. My wife is the primary driver of the X, so I programmed her settings into seat button one, and I programmed mine into button three. Whenever I'm lucky enough to get to drive, I just open the door and hit button three - no problem. I have found, however, that one hit of the button will adjust seat and mirrors to my settings, but only if the driver's door is still open. If I squeeze into the car when it's set for my wife and hit button three, I need to hold it down until everything adjusts for me. Not sure if this is the way it's supposed to work, but that's the way it goes. Sound German logic, I guess.
PS - I had some issues with my mirrors as well, not always adjusting to my settings, not always dropping in reverse, or not fully coming back up. Hasn't happened in a while, though - things seem to be good now at 8,500 miles.
It worked for me. Only for like two days. Today I noticed that when I unlock the car, it does not move the seats according to what i had them programmed to.
I'll add an odd quirk for our 2005 X3 - we went along for quite some time cussing at the way our keys didn't seem to work until we stumbled across an interesting observation. If I click the unlock on our X3 with my key *while the cars is already unlocked* in the garage before I drive the car my seat and mirror position will always get set up correctly. The same is true for my wife's key. Doing the same thing while the car is locked does not work.
We gave up on getting annoyed about why it didn't follow the description in the manual.
the original owner on my 05 x3 must have disabled this feature. But my 01 e39 would be hit or miss. My understanding is that the key is set when you lock the car. It would constantly get screwed up because we would never lock the car in the garage
For 2008, the keys come with stickers with 1, 2, star, and some other shapes. The manual says that the car can be programmed to recognize the key and set the seat settings but there may be some flukes as others mentioned.
Pushing the 1, 2, or 3 seat buttons moves the seat to the correct memory setting but can be pushed once with the car door open (like before you sit down) or pushed and held down if the door is closed and you are seated.
The rear view mirror doesn't react to the seat settings. I happened to notice that position 1 works best with the mirror in the day position and position 3's driver likes it in the night position. This is purely by chance. The night position works with the other driver at night but the position 3 driver doesn't have a night setting because the mirror is adjusted to be lined up optimized for daytime use when in the night position.
Ours work perfectly, but as someone else said, you have to hit unlock to retrieve that key's previous settings.
The dropping of reverse works for me only if the mirror is not point out too much. If it is, it does tilt but probably less than a 1/4 of inch down. If I set the mirror to look more to the inside, then it works well...

Re: FDA Warning Letter Regarding Tobacco Retailer Inspection Violation
Reference Number: 12AL001896
Dear Sir or Madam:
This Warning Letter is notification from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advising you that JR Food Mart #5 was observed to be in violation of federal tobacco laws and regulations. Failure to correct these violations may lead to federal enforcement actions, including monetary penalties. Your response is requested in 15 working days.
On February 27, 2013, an inspector representing the FDA completed an inspection of the establishment, located at 19175 North Third Street, Citronelle, AL 36522. During this inspection the establishment was in violation because you or your employee sold cigarettes to a minor.
This inspection revealed that the establishment sells, distributes, advertises, and/or promotes cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco, which requires that the establishment and its owners comply with federal laws and regulations governing such practices. The violation observed during the February 27, 2013, inspection includes the following:
1. A minor was able to buy Newport Box cigarettes on February 27, 2013, at approximately 6:24 PM in the establishment.
A retailer must NOT sell cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco to a person younger than 18 years of age. Doing so violates 21 C.F.R. § 1140.14(a).
The listed violation causes your cigarettes to be "misbranded" under 903 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387c).
You should immediately correct the violation listed above. Failure to correct the violation may result in FDA taking regulatory action without further notice. These actions may include, but are not limited to, civil money penalty, no-tobacco-sale order, seizure, and/or injunction.
The violation indicated in this letter may not be a complete list of violations at the establishment. The establishment must comply with all the applicable laws and regulations. For more information on these requirements, helpful resources for retailers, a database of inspections, and free Break the Chain of Tobacco Addiction materials, visit our website at http://www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts.

The Impact Litigation Project seeks to achieve the following objectives:
- Litigate paradigmatic, high impact cases
- Obtain domestic and international media coverage of the cases and of related developments (e.g., hearings and reports).
- Develop impact litigation strategies for widespread distribution to human rights advocates seeking to advance international human rights jurisprudence.
- Create a formal network of universities and non-governmental organizations committed to promoting human rights, the work of the Project and similar efforts.
- Submit and call for the filing of amicus curiae briefs in relevant cases pending before international bodies.
WCL has a longstanding experience in litigating human rights cases. Law school faculty, staff and students have participated in cases involving a broad range of issues, including the protection of children's rights, communal property of indigenous populations, freedom of expression and due process of law.

The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle maintained that one part of all the cells in the body came together to form the egg and sperm. He also suggested that all the changes taking place in the body throughout an organism's life could be passed along to later generations.
This idea was taken up by Lamarck and Darwin in the 19th century, although it was eventually shown to be false. Reproductive cells are not a product of the body's cells, and changes in them do not affect the ovum and spermatazoa. (See Lamarck's Evolution Scenario.)2009-08-15 20:06:10

Protests Held Across Nation as Wars Continue on 7th Anniversary of Iraq War's 'Shock and Awe'
March 20, 2010
Racist bigots with the "Tea Party Movement" aren't the only ones in the streets, as we proved today with coast to coast protests against the wars and torture the U.S. is still carrying out.
There were thousands marching in DC today. Read AP report. Watch the AP video. Watch the local video coverage:
You can read my speech here. After the march, several protesters were arrested in front of the White House, including Cindy Sheehan, Elaine Brower, and Matthis Chiroux. They are sitting in jail tonight and we are told they won't be arraigned until Tuesday.
In San Francisco, Daniel Ellsberg spoke to a rally of thousands on the importance of protest:
Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the top-secret Pentagon Papers study of the Vietnam War and is the subject of the recent documentary film, "The Most Dangerous Man in America," likened the protest and others like it around the country Saturday to a day of demonstrations organized against the conflict in Vietnam in 1969.
"They thought it had no effect," he told the crowd in San Francisco, referring to the 1969 protesters. "They were wrong."
Ellsberg said President Richard Nixon was planning to escalate the war around that time, but held off.
Watch Stephanie Tang speak at the rally.
In Los Angeles, thousands also marched, including a We Are Not Your Soldiers contingent carrying a banner signed by many more youth pledging to resist military recruiters.

No matter what type of review you are doing, weekly, major or daily, review tools can help you retain important information. This section will help you define and create some useful guides during your study process.
Study checklists help you stay organized while keeping track of the material you've already covered. It's a to-do list where you physically mark off each item, which gives you a sense of completion and success at each check. Follow these simple steps to make a study checklist:
- List reading assignments by chapters or page numbers.
- List dates of lecture notes.
- Write down various types of problems you will need to solve.
- List major ideas, definitions, theories, formulae, etc.
You can create a study checklist from the very first day of class, and add to it as the term progresses (Ellis,2001). This gives you an organized, chronological list, great for weekly and major reviews.
Mind maps are great for visual learners. It exercises your memory while providing a visual display of what you know and need to study. Mind maps help you think from general to specific. To make a mind map, write the main subject in the center of a sheet of paper, then write related subjects around the main topic, connecting them with lines. You can get creative and use different colors and shapes to show relationships between different elements, (Ellis, 2001).
There are various ways of making a mind map. You can create one completely from memory and then check it against your notes, or look at your notes first, then fill in the map with key words. Mind maps can be as broad or specific as you'd like and can be created for everything from a particular subject in a course, the whole course or individual lectures.
Flashcards -- just like the ones you used for learning multiplication. They are great for memorization and can be used for formulae, definitions, dates, etc. Just write the question on one side of a note card, and the answer on the other. Grab a friend or classmate and quiz each other, or study alone.

Helping my husband cope
When my bub was born, it was by emergency Cesarean section. I had been in labour for 30 hours and was not progressing. Also my son was in distress. When he was delivered, he was not breathing and did not have a pulse. The doctors rushed him to the special care nursery and were able to get his vitals back to normal quite quickly really. Due to the sedation, I did not understand what was happening, but my husband did and was not handling it well. Our bub spent the first 12 hours in the special care nursery before he was brought to us. He has been healthy since then, except for one hospital visit where he was having difficulty breathing on his own.
My question is how to help my husband recover from the trauma of the birth. Even though it has been six month since our bub was born, my husband remains very protective and overly concerned for our bub's health. It makes for a stressful home environment at times. I expected that I would be the over-protective mum, but it turns out it is my husband who was most affected by the traumatic birth. How do I help him understand that our son is safe now?

Hi JerBearMum,
My 3rd child was born with a congenital heart defect and had open heart surgery when he was 2 months old. Though the trauma was different from what you and your husband experienced, the real knowledge of knowing you lose your son is the same.
While we were in the hospital, I met another mum who had a newborn with the same congenital heart defect as our son had. When it was time for her son to have surgery, they couldn't wean him off of bi-pass and this was very concerning. When the nurse came to tell that mum the news, she nearly fainted.
All of our sons did just fine and are healthy boys now, but the trauma can be very real. My friend experienced much of the "over protectedness" that your husband has, to the point that it affected her marriage (though 13 years later, they are still together).
Unfortunately I don't really have any suggestions about how to help your husband. It may just be one of those things that will take time to work through. Every little fever or bump may send panic into your husband, but after awhile I hope that he will learn that your son will be fine. He probably never wants to feel those painful feelings of almost losing his baby, again.
If something comes up that you'd like some opinions on, feel free to post them here. We have a lot of really great mums on this forum - some with many children, some with professional medical backgrounds, who can give some good, solid advice and offer real life experiences.
What may help your husband most is just educating him so he feels empowered and not helpless in the care of your son. There are many natural/holistic things you can do to speed healing when bub topples over and gets a bump. There are things you can do to reduce the length and severity of a cold or a flu. There are things you can do to boost his immune system so that he is less susceptible to getting sick.
One of the first things I would do, if this were my child, is I would find a CranioSacral Therapost who specializes in treating infants. I would have the therapist do some treatments on him to help get his whole skeletal system aligned and the cerebral/spinal fluid flowing optimally. Being that he was a C-Section baby, he didn't go through the normal compressions that the birth canal provides. Getting everything into alignment could help avoid any more breathing problems and will offer increased immune function.
Having a Cranio-Sacral treatment is very easy on babies. It looks like the practitioner is just laying her hands on the baby's head, and under his back. One of my babies fell asleep during one of his treatments because it was so calming to him. Our whole family has been treated by a CranioSacral Therapist and as I understand it, they are as prevalent in the UK as Chiropractors are in the USA.
Here are a couple of videos which show you what CranioSacral Therapy looks like on an infant. Please keep in mind that different therapists will treat in their own style, and this particular midwife is doing a baby led treatment.
I'm going to ask Jane (midwife) to take a look at your question and give some suggestions if she has any.
Warm Regards,

First off, thank you so much for such a thorough response. I greatly appreciate the time. Thank you also for sharing your personal experiences with me. I'm happy to hear your bub is doing better.
Your advice about educating my husband was a light bulb for me. I believe he did feel out of control of the health and safety of our son during those first few hours of his life. I think if I help him feel more competent as a parent, he will relax more with time. I've taken over most of the child care responsibilities because I stay home and my husband goes to work. He most likely is feeling lacking.
I have never heard of Cranio-Sacral treatment, but will look into it. I was disappointed to deliver via Cesarean section and have heard that going through the birth canal is important. I will browse this site and see if I can't find more information.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The No.15-ranked Saint Leo women's tennis team took over sole possession of third place in the latest NCAA South Region Poll, it was announced Wednesday. Meanwhile, the No.18-ranked men continued a stronghold on the sixth position.
Being tied for third with the University of West Florida in the previous poll, the Lions women's squad, who sport a 10-4 regional record, are one of only three south region teams to have collected double-digit region wins.
The women are in the midst of a program-record seven-match win streak, and, with their win against Eckerd on Tuesday evening, have collected a program-record 16 wins.
Both Barry and Lynn sit atop the women's poll.
The men, on the other hand, continue to be ranked sixth in the south region. The Lions have recorded 15 wins on the year, including seven in-region.
Saint Leo has also posted an incredible 11 shutouts during the current campaign, and is riding a season-best six match winning streak.
The University of West Florida is currently first in the south region.
Both squads will hit the court one more time during the regular season as they play host to Embry-Riddle in a senior day showdown on Saturday, April 14.
For more on the nationally-ranked men's and women's tennis teams, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Sky Ferreira's Favorite Things
Listen to Sky Ferreira on iHeartRadio
Singer-songwriter/model/actress Sky Ferreira released her debut album, Night Time, My Time, back in October, and for her, it was a long time coming. The 21-year-old began uploading songs to MySpace at 14, and although it took seven years for her debut album to drop, according to Sky, it was worth it. "I felt like for the first time, people kind of heard me," she tells iHeartRadio.
[Buy Night Time, My Time on iTunes]
Even before the album hit the shelves, Sky's public persona was plagued with controversy, from an unfortunately-timed drug-related arrest to her own decision to appear nude on her album cover. But the mainstream is finally getting a dose of Sky, the musician -- she supported Miley Cyrus on the U.S.-leg of her Bangerz Tour and is currently opening for Miley abroad -- giving her a vehicle to share her brand of indie-synth-pop with the world.
When she was in New York City recently, Sky sat down with iHeartRadio to divulge some of her most favorite things. Check it out below!
Favorite time of night
It depends. For myself, I like 1:00 in the morning if I'm at home by myself at 1:00 in the morning, but if you actually want to do stuff, probably like 9:30 pm... Then not everything's closed. You can't go to the movies past like 10:00 or something.
Favorite thing about growing up in LA
My favorite thing about growing up in L.A. that I miss are swimming pools. Actual swimming pools, not like kiddie pools that come up to your knees.
Favorite Michael Jackson moment
Basically, but I really painfully shy and I didn't talk to anyone. I was always just kind of daydreaming to myself. So my mom and I would have birthday parties at Neverland, but it would be all my brother's friends because I didn't know anyone, and I'd get excited and wander off. He had his own movie theater but it had the original E.T. in it... There was also trampolines in the grass and the grass had speakers so it sounded like you were in a Disney movie or something.
He had a recording studio inside the movie theater but I didn't know that. No one knew he was there and he came out. I was sitting by myself and nobody was talking to me the whole day. Yes, Michael Jackson like pops out. Michael Jackson walked out of the recording studio and I hung out with him. He moonwalked for me and then I went to the recording studio and he showed it to me. I got to touch the original E.T.
We sat in the movie theater and he was like, "Sing for me." The one song I remember singing so clearly, it's so embarrassing, but I did "Lucky" by Britney Spears... Out of all the songs you'd sing to Michael Jackson. I was like 7 though, to be fair.
Favorite place you've been naked
My album cover.
Favorite item in your Grandmother's closet
I used to steal her dresses and cut them. She was not happy about it. She used to have all these floral baby doll dresses, but they weren't baby doll dresses. I made them into that.
Favorite thing about being 21
It's weird, now that I'm of age, nobody ever asks me for my I.D. Sometimes, because I don't wear makeup all the time, they think I'm like 13, and my boyfriend also looks really youn and they're like, we need to see I.D. I don't even have an I.D. I have a passport and it's scary because I've lost my passport twice. I mean I haven't lost it in like a year-and-a-half.
Favorite thing about the Bangerz Tour (so far)
It's nice touring with your friends. It's nice being on tour with girls for once. People get it, like, 'Oh, you want to do your makeup?' You don't have to go into the bar bathroom and do it and like dunk your head into some nasty sink to wash your hair... Also the energy, because everyone is so excited to see her. Her crowd's really cool about that. It's not like opening for an Indie band or something, where everyone looks at you with their arms crossed and staring at you.
Favorite pop radio smash
I loved any Britney. I also loved Spice Girls. I have to say, I think Britney Spears is my favorite pop star, if you're going to go super, super pop star, besides Madonna. The thing about Britney Spears isthere's something a little weird and dark about her obviously -- it's genuinely dark -- but I love how she's never changed or never tried to catch up. I notice a lot of them get really weird and they try to catch up to the younger girls, or they're threatened in some weird way about that. She embraces them; she always becomes friends with them and sings on their songs, but also she still f***ing dresses the same from like 2001. She's still wearing her thongs outside her jeans. That's why she's so much cooler that everyone else.
Favorite Concert
My favorite concert of all time I've ever been to was the Dream Within A Dream Britney Spears tour. My dad didn't have any money or anything, and for my birthday, it was a big deal that I even was able to go to a concert. I wasn't able to unless my grandmother was working on one or something. He took me and we had like top of the nosebleed section at Staples Center, and it was still the best night of my life because I could even see her from up there.
It was just so insane and she was so good. I don't care if people were like, 'She's singing to track.' Who doesn't? That's the thing. Back then, she was kind of untouchable. I never got to experience the Beatles or even Michael Jackson when Michael Jackson was at his peak; I never got to experience those things. I always saw them when they were older, like the Rolling Stones and stuff like that. Any band that I really love, I'd only saw them when they were over. I can say I saw Britney Spears. That's like the one I saw at her peak.
Favorite color you've ever dyed your hair
I'm always going to be a blonde. I'm just doing this until my hair grows back.
Favorite city to get lost in
The thing about New York is you always find something. L.A. is annoying to get lost in. In New York, you'll always find a place to go when you get lost.
Favorite thing to binge eat
Candy, I love candy. I don't know. It's weird. I think it's because I wasn't allowed to have candy, and I never thought about having candy until I was 19.
Favorite song to belt out when you're alone
Sometimes I'll do weird songs that I wouldn't expect, randomly, that come into my head that I don't really know that well. Yesterday, I started singing "Pure Imagination." It's like one of my favorite songs, but still my friend walked in and was like, "What are you doing? Singing Willy Wonka? Oh my God.'"
Favorite way to piss off your manager
Miss a flight. Be late for something... be myself. No, I'm kidding. My managers now get it. They understand. The thing is, I'll do what I'm supposed to do. I remember with other mangers I would get annoyed because they didn't protect me. My managers now protect me and want to help me get bigger, but not compromise who I am to do so.
Favorite thing about being in love
Well, I guess now I feel less lonely obviously, even though it's very complicated and annoying sometimes and confusing. It's like having a best friend with you at all times.
Favorite new artist
I really like King Krule. I like what he stands for. I think he's really cool. In a pop-peer sense, I really like Lorde, who is so young, and she's so smart. It's good to have a voice and not be scared of it.
Favorite thing to waste time doing
I sometimes binge shop, buy stuff I don't need. I usually do online shopping because I still have insomnia. I go on eBay, kind of half asleep and just buy the weirdest stuff. One day I woke up and I had a box of figurines and collectibles -- like Smurfs and stuff. I was like what is this? I looked it up and it was from eBay. That's the kind of stuff I do.

Materials in this Houston master bath are not unusual: marble for wet areas, slate floors for slip resistance, and warm walnut cabinetry protected by marine-grade polyurethane. The layout is straightforward: steam shower, soaking tub, and toilet in a row with vanities along the opposite wall. It's the details—the way materials intersect and meticulously align—that grab the eye.
"It takes a lot of patience to make something this complicated look so simple," says architect Shane Cook. One example is the quirk-miter joint used to connect horizontal marble slabs to vertical pieces. The joint's telltale groove highlights the stone's 4-centimeter thickness. It also facilitates alignment for the front panel on the bathtub, which attaches with industrial Velcro for easy pipe access. Another unseen detail hides above the steam shower. A stainless steel ceiling (pre-cut with channels to accept glass panels and holes for recessed lights) continues down two walls to meet marble tile. The steel is painted to look like the drywall, so the only hint of its true identity is a thin cap where it abuts tile.
Cook went to extremes to guarantee alignment was exact throughout. Part of creating serenity, he postulates, is ensuring that nothing jars the eye. Consequently, the tops of windows match the edge of vanity mirrors, which extend seamlessly into partial walls around the shower, closets, and toilet.
According to Cook, the cabinetmaker caught the symmetry bug, too, visiting at least four different suppliers to find pieces of walnut that matched in grain and density. Framing was also replaced in several places. "The new design required everything to be clean and crisp," he says, "and even the bones had to be plumb and nearly perfect."
architect: Shane Cook Designs, Houston
general contractor: Robertson Construction, Houston

Do you know who's turning 40 at Oakland Zoo this year? No, it's not Osh the elephant or Benghazi the giraffe. (Those guys are mere babies by comparison.) I'll give you a clue. This creature has more than 160 legs and can be found roaming wild on nearly every pathway in the Zoo. Give up? It's the Oakland Zoo Docent Council. And on April 27th, they'll be celebrating a whopping forty years of serving the public here at the Zoo.
It was back in 1973 when Zoological Society Executive Director Flora Aasen suggested that the Zoo recruit volunteers to serve as docents to help educate and assist zoo visitors. From that idea, the first docent training class was established and held at the Zoo (which consisted of a mere ten people!) In the forty years since, as the Zoo has undergone tremendous growth, we've trained and graduated hundreds of passionate individuals into the program. During that same period, there's been a wealth of noteworthy docent accomplishments, including the introduction of the Zoomobile, ZooSchool, and Wildlife Theater programs; the leading of untold thousands of guided cart tours, walking tours, and Animal Encounters; the creation of talking storybook boxes and docent bio-fact stations; the initiation of numerous events such as the public lecture series, Animal Fund Boutique, Animal Amore tours, Celebrating Elephants Day, and many others as well as the hosting of Jane Goodall's National ChimpanZoo Conference . In addition, the docents have sold thousands of Oakland Zoo memberships, increasing the number from 600 to an impressive 26,000; supported and fundraised for causes like Quarters for Conservation, Budongo Snare Removal and Uganda lion conservation, and personally donated an astounding $200,000 to help in the construction of the Education Center, the Children's Zoo and the new veterinary hospital. Through their tireless efforts, the docents have advocated for animal conservation by helping to improve animal care here, and helped elevate Oakland Zoo to compete with the best zoos in the world. Not bad for a bunch of volunteers. And in 2012, the Association of Zoo and Aquarium Docents listed the Oakland Zoo Docent Council in the top ten of the longest running programs of its kind in the US.
On Sunday April 27th, the docents will gather at the Zoo to celebrate these and many other accomplishments– and just as important, to look ahead to what is sure to be an even brighter future. Honored guests include a distinguished array of heavyweights including docent co-founders JoAnne Harley and Pam Raven Brett, former education directors Arlyn Christopherson and Anne Warner , as well as video participation by Oakland Zoo President and CEO Dr. Joel Parrott. This celebration comes at a time when Oakland Zoo stands poised to embark on its ambitious California Trail project, heralding a new era of wildlife education and conservation in the Bay Area. With forty years of momentum, the Oakland Zoo Docents are certainly ready to be a part of it. This anniversary celebrates a great future as well as a proud past, and promises to be a most momentous occasion!

Calamity day bill goes back to House and Senate
(Columbus) — Lawmakers are expected to approve an Ohio legislative compromise that would give school districts four extra calamity days because of this winter's extreme weather.
Floor votes in the House and Senate were expected Wednesday on the measure, which gives districts the extra days if they've exhausted their five allotted calamity days. They could use the additional days only after holding school on four other scheduled days off, such as on holidays or during vacations.
The measure also allows districts to continue to make up missed days through 30-minute increments tacked onto regularly scheduled school days. They also have the option of using work-at-home "blizzard bags" and online lessons.
Republican Gov. John Kasich backed adding extra snow days and is expected to sign the bill.

Esthetician or Aesthetician? Pt. 11
So instead, here are some makeup videos we watched.
This first one is a fantasy or camouflage makeup. It kind of goes in reverse. So what you see at the end of the video is what the guy really looks like.
This one teaches you how to use the color wheel in makeup. There are some other things I'd add to it, but she has some good tips.
We may have watched this video multiple times as well... whoops.
Have a great friday! :D

This, of course, begs the question: Why anyone in their right mind would run any office application on a Pen Test machine?
hey guys
have just installed OpenOffice (with all default options) onto my BT3 laptop... BT3 is installed on the hard drive...
anyways... after a reboot, there's no option to run the software from the program menu and from command line running :
/usr/bin/openoffice.org2.3: line 2: /etc/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/openoffice.org2.3: line 2: exec: /etc/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice: cannot execute: No such file or directory
anyone got this running on BT3... how hard can it be ??
This, of course, begs the question: Why anyone in their right mind would run any office application on a Pen Test machine?
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
why not ??
Analogy: An Abrams tank is designed to do battle. A car is designed car to commute and do general consumer transportation. Can you commute or go shopping in an Abrams tank? Sure, but why would you? It isn't designed for that, and isn't going to do those jobs very well.
In the same way, you should use BT for Pen Testing, and use a general Linux distro or Windows for office work.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
Dunno, I know some people that would love to drive to work in a tank if they could lol
Although BT is 'prob' not designed for office, no harm in having it is there?
yes i hear what you are saying....
but linux is linux is linux....
i really like BT3, it has everything i need apart from office apps....
i have it installed on my hard drive and to use office, i'd have to reboot or use a different machine... what's the point if i can have it in BT3.... ?
I'm looking to write reports on some pen testing at work, what's the point on doing it on a different machine.... i'd like to do it here when all the tools are in front of me, so i can copy&paste into my documents....
I appreciate what youre saying, however it'd be useful !!
I need open office to open and read various Office documents as part of the normal networking and security use of BT3, so I'm in the same boat. I haven't installed OpenOffice on BT3 yet, because the recent versions don't seem to give much flexibility about where it gets installed. I previously installed OpenOffice 2.1 on BT2, and use it constantly.
My pen testing and networking functions are done on one machine, and and client documentation is done another. Only the client who's work is in progress is in the BT machine, and that is wiped from that laptop at the completion of the job. All client information is also encrypted on the main work machine. Sure, copying and pasting takes longer across a network, but I'll eat the 20-30 seconds it takes, in exchange for doing things in a more secure manner.
Aside from that, I hate putting all my eggs in one basket. Test machines get subjected to rough conditions and locations. If you drop the test machine while on a rooftop running a wireless test, and it's your sole machine, you're suddenly in a world of hurt.
Client and business information is just too valuable to run that kind of risk. Running on separate machines also shows due diligence in case of any liability problems.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.

USC holds student video contest
By Jeff Stensland, email@example.com, 803-777-3686
The University of South Carolina's Office of Research is offering cash prizes for the three best short videos highlighting student research projects.
The contest is open to current undergraduate and graduate students and the top three entries will be awarded cash prizes of $500 for first place, $300 for second and $150 for third. Videos can be about a past or ongoing research project, or even just a research idea. Students must post the videos on YouTube and the finalists will be determined by the number of "likes" they receive. A panel of judges will pick the top three winning videos, which will be presented at USC's Discovery Day on April 26.
Creativity is a must, so music videos, comedy sketches and other fun ways to present research are encouraged. Entries must be clean (no profanity or adult content) and will be accepted from Jan. 30 through March 29.
"Great research is being done by students in all disciplines at USC," said USC Vice President of Research Prakash Nagarkatti. "We'd like students to tell their stories in a way that might encourage their peers to start asking questions and pursue research of their own."

I knit (knitting isn't only for old grannies xD), crochet amigurumi, and scrapbook occasionally.
Currently I'm knitting a Tamagotchi sock for my iD L(s), a Webkinz sweater, and ears for my garlic/bunny (long story), preparing to crochet an iD L case, knit teeny weeny brides and grooms for presents, and a Webkinz sleeveless sweater and skirt set.
Yeah, I have a busy summer this year. xD
EDIT: The funny things is, I can't draw, paint, sculpt, or what. Art at school isn't my kind of art. xD

The crayon thing would be really cool with older crayons
Crayola has a old crayon melter then they make as many colors in one normal size crayon. Its pretty cool. They don't cost much anymore, last I knew, like $10 American dollars. I did that once... Except, I undid the paper, then leaned them against wood on a hot day. We almost forgot them... So at the end of a hot summer day, a pile of waxy crayon...lucky someone put a catch container under them. Which we used like crazy one the sidewalk instead of paper.
