For someone under house arrest, Willie Williams spends a lot of time away from home. Last Sunday, he traveled to Gainesville, Fla., to prepare for a court appearance that ate up all of Monday. On Tuesday he was back in school, wrapping up his last week at Miami Carol City Senior High School.
Williams is required by court order to return home within an hour after school, yet more than two hours after classes ended, he still had not come home. His aunt said he was picking up his white nylon cap and gown in advance of graduation. A school official said Williams had picked up his gown before school let out.
Williams is scheduled to don that gown and mortarboard and accept his high school diploma Thursday. To the strains of ''Pomp and Circumstance,'' he will march toward the next phase of his life, which is in limbo, as it has been for a while.
A record of juvenile crime continues to threaten a football career of extraordinary promise. Criminal court dates have left him as scheduled as a White House cabinet member. He has a preliminary hearing next week in Gainesville. A probation-violation hearing in Fort Lauderdale is after that. A trial in Gainesville has been set for July 26. The University of Miami continues to hold a scholarship for Williams, but until his legal issues are resolved, it will not officially offer it to him.
''We're just waiting it out,'' Williams's stepfather, Leonard Pressley, said. ''We don't know what's going to happen. We're hoping for the best. I still see him U.M. all the way. I see him going to U.M. and winning a national championship, but we just don't know.''Continue reading the main story
Williams is one of the best outside linebackers in the 2004 recruiting class. He is 6 feet 3 inches and 220 pounds, with tremendous speed and the ability to knock opposing quarterbacks out of the game. Scouts call him a physical genius, as potentially gifted in his sport as Wayne Gretzky and Magic Johnson in theirs.
''He's as good as I've ever seen,'' said Larry Blustein, who is the publisher ofFloridaKids.us, which is an affiliate of theinsiders.com, a Web site that follows recruiting. ''He's the only kid I've seen in 34 years who could go straight to the pros. He's big enough and he's so smart on the field that I call him Einstein. He's the LeBron James of football.''
As gifted as he is athletically, Williams has become best known for his writing. In a series of recruiting diaries that ran in The Miami Herald, Williams recounted with wide-eyed enthusiasm his trips to Auburn, Florida State, Miami and Florida. He spilled stories of lobster tails and hot tubs and parties stocked with suspiciously attractive women, most of whom seemed to know his name. Some facts in the diaries have been disputed; Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden, for instance, said Williams did not fly from Miami to Tallahassee on a charter jet, as Williams claimed. Over all, though, the diaries paint a credible picture of the excesses of blue-chip recruiting.
On national signing day in February, with his recruiting bacchanalia seemingly behind him, Williams chose to play for the University of Miami. Almost immediately, incidents from his final recruiting trip, to the University of Florida in Gainesville, surfaced. They were not details relayed in his diary. Williams faces a misdemeanor battery charge for hugging a woman against her will. He has also been charged with discharging a fire extinguisher, a felony.
The Gainesville incidents brought to light his history of juvenile crime. His most recent arrest, in July 2002, for stealing stereo equipment valued at $3,800, resulted in a felony conviction and a sentence of 18 months of probation. That probation was set to expire just one week after signing day. Now, because of the Gainesville incidents, his probation is under review.
The legal issues prompted Miami to stop processing Williams's application for admission. A university spokesman, Mark Pray, said Williams might be admitted to the university, but only after a ''complete review of the academic application as well as a complete and thorough review of the current issues.'' Those issues may be resolved by the end of the month. They may not. Although freshman football players usually report to campus in early August, Miami has set no timeline for Williams's arrival. The university has decided not to award his scholarship to another athlete, at least not this year.
''We are willing to work with the circumstances as long as possible,'' Pray said.
''My feeling is that he'll go to U.M.,'' Blustein said. ''There's almost no doubt about it.''
He said much would depend on what happened in Gainesville.
''If they can get the charges dropped up there, then this whole thing will go away,'' Blustein said. ''My feeling is that they will get the charges dropped. U.M. will send some alumni up there, they'll talk about how they'll take care of him in school and make him behave. I'm telling you, he's worth it.''
When he is not in school or in court, Williams is supposed to be incarcerated inside his aunt's house, in northwest Miami-Dade County. The house is painted the sherbet orange of the Tennessee Volunteers. Concrete walls crowned in black iron bars protect a driveway that was overflowing with the cars of relatives and friends on Tuesday. Even though Williams wears an electronic bracelet on his ankle, his whereabouts can be hard to track. His court-appointed monitor has reprimanded him for drifting away from home without permission.
''People don't realize how boring it is to stay in the house,'' said his sister, Sherria Williams, 25, a student at Florida State. ''You're not allowed to throw out the trash. People don't understand that you can't do the little things, like go get a haircut.''
On Tuesday afternoon, when Williams was not home, his aunt Adriana Rutledge said it was just as well.
''He'd be happy to give an interview when this is all over,'' she said, adding that the family had been advised not to talk to reporters for the moment. ''I know I don't want to screw nothing up, especially with the way everything he said was misconstrued the first time around.''
Williams's guardianship was transferred to his aunt last year so he could play football for Carol City, a state power. His mother, his stepfather, his sister and his younger brother live in a gated community in Pembroke Pines, in Broward County. Inside the house, along with trophies and pictures of school dances, hangs a nervous energy. When family members sit at the dining room table talking about Willie, they are upbeat and hopeful. Still, it is hard to miss the tapping fingers.
''I think, like most people, I'm leaving it up to God,'' Sherria Williams said. ''I just know the future of Willie is not in our hands anymore. We just keep hoping this goes away and we can get something positive out of all of this.''
Pressley, the stepfather, added: ''All I know is when he shakes this off, he's hitting. I fear for opposing teams. I fear for their protection.''
Pressley pulled out a small book of photographs. Inside were snapshots of Williams at his senior prom, a school dance he needed court permission to attend. Williams showed up in a custom-tailored three-piece suit stitched entirely of white fur.
''His mom said he was dressing better than Puff Daddy or Deion Sanders,'' Pressley said.
In the photographs, Williams looks like the star he has the potential to become. He has already achieved stardom in a way. His body is strong and mature. His name is nationally known. Now he has the look to go with it.
''I always tell him, 'The only person who can stop you is you,''' Pressley said.Continue reading the main story

ON THIS PAGE: You will learn about the different ways doctors use to treat people with this type of cancer. To see other pages, use the menu.
This section tells you the treatments that are the standard of care for this type of cancer. "Standard of care" means the best treatments known. When making treatment plan decisions, patients are also encouraged to consider clinical trials as an option. A clinical trial is a research study that tests a new approach to treatment. Doctors want to learn if it is safe, effective, and possibly better than the standard treatment. Clinical trials can test a new drug, a new combination of standard treatments, or new doses of standard drugs or other treatments. Your doctor can help you consider all your treatment options. To learn more about clinical trials, see the About Clinical Trials and Latest Research sections.
Treatment overview
In cancer care, different types of doctors often work together to create a patient's overall treatment plan that combines different types of treatments. This is called a multidisciplinary team. Cancer care teams also include a variety of other health care professionals, including physician assistants, oncology nurses, social workers, pharmacists, counselors, dietitians, and others.
Descriptions of the most common treatment options for bile duct cancer are listed below. Treatment options and recommendations depend on several factors, including:
The type and stage of cancer
Possible side effects
The patient's preferences and overall health
Your care plan may also include treatment for symptoms and side effects, an important part of cancer care. Take time to learn about all of your treatment options and be sure to ask questions about things that are unclear. Also, talk about the goals of each treatment with your doctor and what you can expect while receiving the treatment. Learn more about making treatment decisions.
Surgery is the removal of the tumor and some surrounding healthy tissue during an operation. A surgical oncologist is a doctor who specializes in treating cancer using surgery. Surgery to treat bile duct cancer may also be done by hepatobiliary surgeons, who have special training in treating the liver and bile ducts. Learn more about the basics of cancer surgery.
The location and sensitivity of the bile duct area make surgery difficult. And the surgery's effectiveness may be limited by the tumor size and where it has spread (see the Stages section). For instance, surgery cannot completely remove metastatic cancer, and additional treatment is necessary.
Common surgical treatment options for bile duct cancer include:
Surgical removal of the bile duct. The surgeon removes the entire organ. It is a treatment option if the tumor has not spread beyond the bile duct. The surgery may also include removal of lymph nodes to check for cancer. Lymph nodes are tiny, bean-shaped organs that help fight infection.
Partial hepatectomy. If the cancer is near the liver, the surgeon will remove part of the liver. The remaining section of liver takes over the functions of the entire liver. In some cases, it grows back to its normal size within a few weeks.
Whipple procedure. The Whipple procedure is an extensive type of surgery that may be recommended if the cancer is near the pancreas. The surgeon removes part or all of the pancreas and part of the small intestine, bile duct, and stomach. The surgeon then reconnects the digestive tract and biliary system, which includes the bile ducts and gallbladder. To maintain the flow of bile, the remaining part of the bile duct is connected to the small intestine. About 5% to 10% of people do not survive this complicated operation. Meanwhile, 25% to 45% have serious complications, such as bleeding, infection, or leaking of bile or pancreatic juices. An experienced surgeon should always perform this procedure.
Liver transplantation. The surgeon completely removes the liver and bile ducts. Surgery to remove the liver is called a total hepatectomy. The surgeon then transplants a donor liver. However, bile duct cancer tends to recur very quickly after transplantation. As a result, this procedure is rarely used.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or other particles to destroy cancer cells. A doctor who specializes in giving radiation therapy to treat cancer is called a radiation oncologist. The most common type of radiation treatment is called external-beam radiation therapy, which is radiation given from a machine outside the body. When radiation therapy is given using implants, it is called internal radiation therapy or brachytherapy. Occasionally, internal radiation therapy may be used for bile duct cancer.
A radiation therapy regimen (schedule) usually consists of a specific number of treatments given over a set period of time.
Radiation therapy can be used for treatment or to control the symptoms and pain of advanced disease. Side effects from radiation therapy may include fatigue, mild skin reactions, upset stomach, and loose bowel movements. Most side effects go away soon after treatment is finished. Learn more about the basics of radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells, usually by stopping the cancer cells' ability to grow and divide. Chemotherapy is given by a medical oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating cancer with medication.
Systemic chemotherapy gets into the bloodstream to reach cancer cells throughout the body. Common ways to give chemotherapy include an intravenous (IV) tube placed into a vein using a needle or in a pill or capsule that is swallowed (orally).
A chemotherapy regimen (schedule) usually consists of a specific number of cycles given over a set period of time. A patient may receive 1 drug at a time or combinations of different drugs at the same time.
Researchers are working to improve chemotherapy by studying new drugs or new combinations of drugs through clinical trials. Patients with bile duct cancer may receive chemotherapy by participating in a clinical trial.
Chemotherapy may be used before surgery to shrink the tumor or when surgery is not an option. Research has suggested that the combination of cisplatin (Platinol) and gemcitabine (Gemzar) can lengthen the lives of patients who have bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
Other drugs that have been used to treat bile duct cancer include fluorouracil (5-FU, Adrucil), capecitabine (Xeloda), paclitaxel (Taxol). Unfortunately, bile duct cancers are resistant to many chemotherapy types, which makes clinical trials much more important for treating this disease.
Chemotherapy may also be given after surgery to help prevent a recurrence. However, researchers are still testing how well this approach works in clinical trials.
The side effects of chemotherapy depend on the individual and the dose used, but they can include fatigue, risk of infection, nausea and vomiting, hair loss, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. These side effects usually go away once treatment is finished.
Learn more about the basics of chemotherapy and preparing for treatment. The medications used to treat cancer are continually being evaluated. Talking with your doctor is often the best way to learn about the medications prescribed for you, their purpose, and their potential side effects or interactions with other medications. Learn more about your prescriptions by using searchable drug databases.
Getting care for symptoms and side effects
Cancer and its treatment often cause side effects. In addition to treatment to slow, stop, or eliminate the cancer, an important part of cancer care is relieving a person's symptoms and side effects. This approach is called palliative or supportive care, and it includes supporting the patient with his or her physical, emotional, and social needs.
Palliative care is any treatment that focuses on reducing symptoms, improving quality of life, and supporting patients and their families. Any person, regardless of age or type and stage of cancer, may receive palliative care. It works best when palliative care is started as early as needed in the cancer treatment process. People often receive treatment for the cancer and treatment to ease side effects at the same time. In fact, patients who receive both often have less severe symptoms, better quality of life, and report they are more satisfied with treatment.
Palliative treatments vary widely and often include medication, nutritional changes, relaxation techniques, emotional support, and other therapies. You may also receive palliative treatments similar to those meant to eliminate the cancer, such as chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation therapy. Talk with your doctor about the goals of each treatment in the treatment plan.
Before treatment begins, talk with your health care team about the possible side effects of your specific treatment plan and palliative care options. And during and after treatment, be sure to tell your doctor or another health care team member if you are experiencing a problem so it can be addressed as quickly as possible. Learn more about palliative care.
Stent placement and surgical bypass
In some cases, surgery cannot completely remove the tumor. However, surgery can still help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
In this situation, a surgeon may be able to bypass the blocked area. This involves connecting a part of the bile duct located before the blockage to a part of the small intestine located beyond the blockage. During this procedure, the surgeon may insert a plastic or metal tube into the bile duct to keep it open. This tube is called a stent.
In addition, a plastic or metal stent may be used to pass through the blockage during the ERCP procedure or a procedure similar to PTC (learn more in the Diagnosis section). These procedures do not remove the tumor. However, they can relieve side effects. People often experience long periods when all symptoms disappear and their quality of life improves.
For both of these procedures, the doctor may insert the stent internally. Sometimes, this is not possible. In those cases, a tube passes through the liver to redirect the bile outside the body into a bag. The bag needs to be changed regularly. Some doctors suggest that these patients receive long-term antibiotics to protect against infection.
Metastatic bile duct cancer
If cancer spreads to another part in the body from where it started, doctors call it metastatic cancer. If this happens, it is a good idea to talk with doctors who have experience in treating it. Doctors can have different opinions about the best standard treatment plan. Also, clinical trials might be an option. Learn more about getting a second opinion before starting treatment, so you are comfortable with your chosen treatment plan.
Your treatment plan may include a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Palliative care will also be important to help relieve symptoms and side effects.
For most patients, a diagnosis of metastatic cancer is very stressful and, at times, difficult to bear. Patients and their families are encouraged to talk about the way they are feeling with doctors, nurses, social workers, or other members of the health care team. It may also be helpful to talk with other patients, including through a support group.
Remission and the chance of recurrence
A remission is when cancer cannot be detected in the body and there are no symptoms. This may also be called having "no evidence of disease" or NED.
A remission may be temporary or permanent. This uncertainty causes many people to worry that the cancer will come back. While many remissions are permanent, it's important to talk with your doctor about the possibility of the cancer returning. Understanding your risk of recurrence and the treatment options may help you feel more prepared if the cancer does return. Learn more about coping with the fear of recurrence.
If the cancer does return after the original treatment, it is called recurrent cancer. It may come back in the same place (called a local recurrence), nearby (regional recurrence), or in another place (distant recurrence).
When this occurs, a cycle of testing will begin again to learn as much as possible about the recurrence. After testing is done, you and your doctor will talk about your treatment options. Often the treatment plan will include the treatments described above, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy; but they may be used in a different combination or given at a different pace. Your doctor may also suggest clinical trials that are studying new ways to treat this type of recurrent cancer. Whichever treatment plan you choose, palliative care will be important for relieving symptoms and side effects.
People with recurrent cancer often experience emotions such as disbelief or fear. Patients are encouraged to talk with their health care team about these feelings and ask about support services to help them cope. Learn more about dealing with cancer recurrence.
If treatment fails
Recovery from cancer is not always possible. If the cancer cannot be cured or controlled, the disease may be called advanced or terminal.
This diagnosis is stressful, and advanced cancer is difficult to discuss for many people. However, it is important to have open and honest conversations with your doctor and health care team to express your feelings, preferences, and concerns. The health care team is there to help, and many team members have special skills, experience, and knowledge to support patients and their families. Making sure a person is physically comfortable and free from pain is extremely important.
Patients who have advanced cancer and who are expected to live less than 6 months may want to consider a type of palliative care called hospice care. Hospice care is designed to provide the best possible quality of life for people who are near the end of life. You and your family are encouraged to think about where you would be most comfortable: at home, in a hospital, or in a hospice environment. Nursing care and special equipment can make staying at home a workable alternative for many families. Learn more about advanced cancer care planning.
After the death of a loved one, many people need support to help them cope with the loss. Learn more about grief and loss.

LNG project decision delayed
The Northern Territory Chief Minister has confirmed that the Japanese company Inpex has delayed its investment decision in a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Darwin.
Paul Henderson is in Japan and senior members of the gas company have told him a final decision on investment in the Darwin LNG project will not be made until the end of next year or early 2011.
The multi-billion dollar project involves gas being piped from the Ichthys field in Western Australia's Browse Basin to an LNG plant in Darwin.
The final investment decision was initially expected at the end of this year or early next year.
Mr Henderson says the company has delayed its deadline because preparing costings and designs for the project is very complex.
"8 million tonnes per annum of LNG to Japan which is what this plant will be producing, is about 10 percent of Japan's LNG requirements so it's an enormous project," he said.
Mr Henderson says Inpex has told him it is still on target to take gas from Darwin to Japan by the year 2015.
He says he is not concerned by the delay.
"First gas 2015 has always been the target that's still the target and working back from that there's always going to be slippage in some parts of the project acceleration in others".
The West Australian premier, Colin Barnett, has continued to maintain that Inpex should re-consider its decision to build the gas plant in Darwin.
Mr Barnett says he believes it is illogical for the company to pipe the gas eight-hundred kilometres to Darwin.
"That costs around $4 million a kilometre, that pipe, and it means that because it becomes a tax deduction under resource rent tax that the Australian taxpayer will be basically subsidising that expenditure," he said.
"I think there are some major financial and economic and indeed engineering issues related to that pipeline."

READINGTON TWP. - After throwing a resident out of the Township Committee meeting room Monday, April 15, Mayor Gerry Shamey apologized for the incident, and noted that maybe something could be worked out so that everyone would come out a winner with respect to the state's recent signing of an agreement to purchase Solberg Airport for $22 million.
The state Department of Transportation issued a press release last week noting that it signed the agreement, but one resident who attended the meeting, Stephen Nozza, questioned whether this meant that the committee's potential condemnation of the 745-acre aiport site was off.
"I think we have like a moment in time right now that maybe if we can put down our swords and stop fighting maybe we can accomplish something here that makes sense for the future," said Shamey, after a police officer escorted Nozza out of the meeting room at an April 15 meeting.
"I'm not going to look in the rearview mirror anymore. I love this township, and I'm going to keep at this," he added, noting that he was sorry about what took place at the meeting.
"Let's work on it," he said. "Maybe we can make something happen that makes sense to everybody.
"We will get back to you with any information we get from the DOT (Department of Transportation)," said, Shamey, who noted during the meeting that he had reached out to DOT representatives about the press release.
At the April 15 meeting, Shamey read the committee's press release, one which stated that the committee was pleased that the DOT's goals are consistent with the township's goals to maintain the small general aviation airport and the open space on the site.
"The press release that I read is our official position. This is how this committee feels, so let's keep at it," he said.
After the meeting, when asked what the first question he would ask DOT would be, Shamey said he would just want to hear what their plans are. The agreement, he said, "sounds promising to me.
"There will be lots of questions to ask," he said, adding that the committee "is going into this with a completely optimistic view."

The opposition protesters dubbed it a "day of departure" and prayed for an immediate end to the rule of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
A cleric praised the "revolution of the young" and declared, "We want the head of the regime removed." The crowd bowed in prayer then chanted "Leave! Leave! Leave!"
U.S. officials said the Obama administration is in talks with Egyptian officials on a proposal for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to resign immediately, Voice of America reported. Power would be turned over to a transitional government headed by Vice President Omar Suleiman with the support of the Egyptian military.
Mubarak said Thursday that he wanted to step down, but that he feared the nation would be plunged into chaos if he did.
In an interview with ABC's Christiane Amanpour, Mubarak said the violence in the streets on Thursday between pro- and anti-government protesters troubled him. "I am fed up. After 62 years in public service, I have had enough. I want to go," Mubarak, 82, told ABC. "If I resign today, there will be chaos," he added.
The street-brawls that started Wednesday continued on Thursday, with violence increasingly aimed at journalists. More than 20 foreign journalists have been arrested.
Thousands of pro-Mubarak supporters stormed Tahrir Square on Thursday, some riding horses and camels, toward a large crowd of protesters demanding the ouster of Egypt's leader for the past three decades.
Three Egyptians have so far been confirmed killed and at least 600 were injured in the hours-long street battles on Wednesday, which first flared just outside the gates to the country's world famous Egyptian Museum.
The demonstration, which drew hundreds of thousands of festive pro-democracy protesters earlier in the week, degenerated into utter pandemonium with the arrival of stone-throwing pro-Mubarak demonstrators on Wednesday.
Wooden sticks, rocks and chunks of the streets — ripped up with crowbars — were tossed into crowds in both camps.
Army soldiers guarding Liberation Square have not intervened in the clashes, leaving many astonished pro-reform demonstrators questioning earlier pledges by the military to protect Egyptian citizens.
Fires burned throughout the night on Wednesday, after cars were lit ablaze by homemade Molotov cocktails.
Several pro-Mubarak demonstrators climbed apartment buildings near Tahrir Square, tossing glass soda bottles filled with gasoline into the crowds below.
Scores of gunshots were fired during the melee into the early hours of Thursday.
In perhaps the most bizarre spectacle of the day on Wednesday, a small cavalry of pro-Mubarak horsemen and one camel driver charged the opposing side, lashing unarmed pro-reformers with whips and wooden canes.
The clashes come one day after one of the largest pro-reform demonstrations in Egypt's recent history, and a late-night televised speech by Mubarak promising he would not run for re-election at the end of his term in September.
U.S. President Barack Obama strongly condemned Wednesday's attack through spokesman Robert Gibbs, who added that the transition of leadership in Egypt should begin sooner than September.
"An orderly transition [of power] must be meaningful, it must be peaceful and it must begin now," said Obama in a speech on Feb. 1.
Egypt is one of America's closest allies in the Middle East, in part because of the country's 1979 peace treaty with Israel. The Arab world's most populous nation has been rocked by an unprecedented series of protests in the past nine days, posing one of the first serious challenges to Mubarak's government in his three decades of rule.
A defiant Mubarak has made surprising concessions this week — from sacking his cabinet to the naming of a vice president — in order to quell the growing unrest.
Nothing, however, has so far convinced Egypt's pro-democracy demonstrators to relent.
"[Mubarak] will leave. Or we will stay," chanted rock-dodging protesters on Wednesday.
The violence, though, left many Egyptians wondering whether brute force was the last draw performed by a president with dwindling options.
Backers of Mubarak arrived on the scene in coordinated patterns, grouped into tightly-packed microbuses and with weapons on the ready, said pro-democracy protesters, raising accusations that clashes may have been instigated by government security forces themselves.
Egypt's Ministry of Interior was quick to deny that members of state security were involved.
Plainclothes security forces, however, have been used before to quash political demonstrations and opposition rallies during elections in Egypt, which are frequently marred by allegations of official intimidation.

Arizona started off hot, hitting 4 of its first 5 shots to break out to a 9-5 lead. Then UCLA's defense, combined with Arizona's tendency to make unforced turnovers and UCLA's offensive firepower to move the Bruins on their way to a 21-5 run over a span of 9 minutes, which put UCLA up 26-14. The Wildcats are often their own worst enemy, mixing poor shot selection with turnovers on the offensive end, and poor man-to-man defense. All of this factored into UCLA's run, as did the superb play of freshman Darren Collison, who saw major duty early on after Jordan Farmar was called for 2 offensive fouls in the first 5 minutes of the game (both calls were justified). With UCLA spacing the floor brilliantly, Collison and his teammates sliced up the Arizona defense in the half court, with Arron Afflalo, Cedric Bozeman, Luc Richard Mbah A Moute and Alfred Aboya all contributing to the scoring. Arizona is particularly bad in getting back on defense after a missed shot, and the Bruins, who essentially have no transition game, got some transition buckets anyway with Collison pushing the pace.
Down by 10 at the 8:35 mark, Arizona finally did the sensible thing and went into a 1-3-1 zone that frequently devolved into a 2-3 zone after UCLA began swinging the ball around the court in response. The Bruin plan to attack the zone was apparently to space the floor out, swing the ball around and chuck up the first open 3. The strategy didn't work, as the Bruins proceeded to miss all 8 of their 3-point attempts over that last 8:35 of the half, during which the Bruins managed to score only 7 points. Arizona, led by the one-on-one play of Marcus Williams and Ivan Radenovic, staged a mini comeback, outscoring the Bruins 10-7 over that stretch to finish the half down just by 7, 33-26. The obvious questions for the second half would be whether the Bruins could more successfully attack the Arizona zone, and whether they would regain the defensive presence which had enabled them to shut Arizona down for that middle period of the first half.
The answer to both questions was an emphatic "Yes." The Bruins came out in the second half and turned in what was perhaps their most brilliant defensive effort of the season. Arizona simply could not get an open look or a high-percentage shot for over 12 minutes. During that span, the normally high-powered Wildcats (admittedly playing without star Hassan Adams) managed to score a paltry 12 points. During that same span, the Bruins continued to score in transition, but more importantly they solved the Wildcats' zone. Coach Ben Howland had his Bruins really space the floor, forcing the Arizona zone to stretch so much it effectively became a man-to-man defense. And the Wildcats can't defend very well man-to-man. Collison, Farmar, Afflalo and Bozeman repeatedly split the Arizona defense off the dribble, either scoring off the drive or dishing to the wide open man created by the defensive rotation for the score. Mbah A Moute, Hollins and Aboya all got layups off the penetration by their teammates. This UCLA team is perhaps the most unselfish team in the country, as well as one of the most patient teams, on the offensive side of the floor. They eat up the clock and snare high-percentage shots by always making the extra pass.
Once the Bruins take a lead, they rarely give it up, so gifted are they in chewing clock, especially since they can often put three point guards, Farmar, Collison and Bozeman, on the floor at the same time. The Bruins were relentless in building up their lead, taking a 40-28 margin into the 17-minute mark, a 48-30 lead at the 14-minute mark, a 52-32 lead at the 11:50 TV timeout and their biggest lead of the game, 60-38, at the 7:42 TV timeout. Their scoring included a spectacular lob pass to Aboya from Mbah A Moute for the slam dunk. Even when Arizona tried to apply full-court pressure defense at the 10-minute mark of the second half, the Bruins generally managed to maintain control of the ball, take time off the clock and get the high-percentage look. Between the 7:47 and 2:37 marks, the Bruins used their three point guards to take the air out of the ball. They only scored 3 points in that span, but Arizona could only manage 10 points in the same period. With UCLA up 63-48, they came out of a Howland timeout and, highlighted by Collison's full court drive and free throw after getting fouled on the shot, immediately scored 5 points on successive possessions sandwiched between another Arizona turnover. UCLA was up 68-48 and the game was essentially over. Howland pulled his starters and Williams got a lot of baskets down the stretch, resulting in the final score.
|Luc Richard Mbah a Moute gets physical.
Collison led the Bruins in scoring with 15 points as he turned in the best performance of his young career (that's becoming a weekly statement). He was simply unstoppable and totally in control throughout this game. Afflalo and Mbah A Moute added 12 points each, with Mbah A Moute being particularly effective in scoring inside against the virtually non-existent Arizona interior defense while grabbing 7 rebounds. Ced Bozeman scored 9 points and was much more aggressive in attacking the basket on offense than usual. Ryan Hollins had another solid performance with 7 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks. Alfred Aboya also scored 7 points and had 3 rebounds. Farmar had 5 points and 6 assists. Mike Roll was cold from behind the arc, but contributed one 3 and Lorenzo Mata again saw action when Howland cleared the bench and made a foul shot.
For Arizona, Williams led the way with 25 points and 7 rebounds. Ivan Radenovic had a very solid game on offense with 17 points and 10 boards. Mustafa Shakur (5 points) and Chris Rodgers (4 points) were a combined 4-16 from the field as they were harassed by Afflalo and Collison for most of the game. Kirk Walters contributed 4 points and some truly bad defense to the Arizona cause.
One final note: At halftime, Lute Olson made a very interesting comment when he was interviewed by Fox Sports. He acknowledged that the officials were allowing all of the teams in the Pac-10 to play a more physical game and that UCLA was taking full advantage of this sea change. But in effect he stated that he wasn't going along with the trend. Assuming this reflects his state of mind, it is easy to see why his team has struggled this season and it will be interesting to see where the Arizona program is heading in the future. There is no doubt that Ben Howland has revolutionized west coast basketball, and the rest of the Pac-10 is going to have to follow suit or fall to the sidelines.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
8000 sq, ft, English Tudor Estate with 9 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. Large level playing field (2.5 acres) for all kinds of recreation, football, soccer, croquet, badminton, etc. the home sits on the Rock River at the base of Lake Sinnissippi in Illinois. 2 hours west of Chicago and less than 5 miles from I-88. Very quiet and serene location affords a relaxing vacation without the long travel and hassle of driving to Wisconsin or Michigan.
Keywords: 1930's English Tudor home. 9 bedroom, 7 bathroom home with 300 feet of river frontage.
I am a veterinarian who enjoys the country but works in the city.
The Owner purchased this estate in 2000
I wanted to find a place i would use which meant it had to be less the two hours travel time from home to home. I also wanted a well built older home with a classic look and lots of vintage details.
This house has such a peaceful location, i can watch the sunset over the water each night from the sleeping porch in the master bedroom. In the winter we love to crank up the fireplace in the dining room and make a large meal and enjoy the evening just eating, laughing, catching up with friends, etc.
We selected the house in rock falls because of its age and design in relation to our parties theme, The great Gatsby. And what a wonderful decision that was. The pictures dont do the house justice, it is even more dramatic in person. It has every nuance of a bygone era with all the modern conveniences we have come to rely on. Todd, the owner was great and made sure everything was taken care of for our stay. And Sue, the person who takes care of the house explained the house and its multitude of bedrooms and bathrooms and amenities perfectly. My 20 guests all had a bedroom,some with fireplaces, and plenty of dressing and closet space, which was important, we dressed in period garb for both formal dinners. As for the dinners, the kitchen worked out perfectly, plenty of oven and cooktop space to prepare 4 gourmet meals and a Sunday brunch, not to mention a wonderful bar that hasnt served that many Martini,s and manhattans in 75 years!!! I cannot recommend this property more, remember its age, add to that its character and location right on the rock river, we fished every morning and evening,and you have a perfect spot to host your next party or family gathering.
We enjoyed the house and yards. Plenty of space to play, visit, cook, eat and enjoy!
Sue was wonderful to work with and very responsive
Beautiful location
We stayed at this house the summer of 2014 for a 4 day weekend. I had meant to write a review at that time, but did not get to it. As I was looking for homes again to rent, I saw this listing and wanted to comment.
The house, I admit, is very cool! Great Gatsby theme is correct. It was once a beautiful home. But as someone else commented, there are the guest rooms (lovely) and the slave quarters (not so lovely). We had leaking showers into the kitchen. The screen porches were unusable as they still had glass windows in all the screens that could not be removed. There were cobwebs eveywhere in the porches.
But all in all, the house met the needs of family reunion of 22. We are very flexible. the kids had a great time running around and exploring this large home.
HOWEVER, we were very disappointed, as we have many children who like to swim and were unable to do so. I emailed the owner several times asking about having a sandy beach on site, safe for children; and they reassured me that there was a beach. This property sits 20 feet above a rushing river, with a large line of thick shrubbery in between. Even if the shrubs were removed, it would be impossible for any kids to swim safely here..
We had a wonderful weekend with our family of over 20 people on July 24-27, 2015. The house was beautiful and very clean. The caretaker was extremely helpful, showing us around the entire house and offering her assistance if we needed anything by giving her a call at any time. Grandma Jean
Just spent a lovely weekend at this spectacular home! I felt as though I'd been transported back in time and truly got a taste of of a bygone era (without forsaking modern conveniences). The large kitchen with two ovens and two dishwashers was perfect for cooking and eating in with our large extended family.
Multiple bedrooms and living areas offered plenty of space for our party. The entire house was immaculate. Nice furniture and a well appointed kitchen with plenty of dishes and cookware easily accommodated our group.
The whole family enjoyed the patio and yard overlooking the river. I especially enjoyed the beautiful walking trail along the river in Sterling that you can access just a few minutes walk from the house.
I highly recommend and would definitely return!
Our family spends a weekend around Christmas to play games, cook, eat, visit and catch up with each other. This house was ideal for our needs. We used every room available. We played ping pong, billiards, cards, dominoes and heads up. We walked along the river. We used the fireplaces and gas logs. We enjoyed the large kitchen which was well stocked. Sue was very helpful showing us through the house. Our only complaint was no cable for the sports fans. Beautiful home, lots of space to spread out for our large group of 20 adults and children.

Not buying these things again. You must use the OEM's Windows 8.1 build or you get shit breaking and all that. Not fun at all.
YouTube video with my Australian voice below.
Thoughts and other miscellaneous tidbits from Coburn.
Not buying these things again. You must use the OEM's Windows 8.1 build or you get shit breaking and all that. Not fun at all.
YouTube video with my Australian voice below.
Almost fully recovered from a very nasty cold that hit me like a truck and was feeling a little retro, so enjoy a video of my Compaq Presario 4220 booting up.
It's been 6 months since I last uploaded anything to YouTube?! Wow.
Adware. Software designed to try to pop up and mess with your normal computer activity, and/or inject advertisements at random intervals, or when told to do so by a master server.
Some applications I use like the cleaning software from Wise and ImgBurn now come with annoying "offers" that the author is trying to make some quick bucks from. It's almost as bad as OpenCandy – that piece of shit that would be installed on many computers that came into my office which would randomly try to install additional software that the client didn't want. Wise/Lespeed Technology Inc has a offer for SpyHunter 3 (which is by the same guys who are suing BleepingComputer for giving them a crap review because their product is garbage) which you can easily click "Decline" – it's on the left hand side than next door to the "Accept" button on the right. I'll let them off the hook because they do offer a portable version of Wise Disk Cleaner and friends that you can download, extract and run to not worry about having to install things.
WinSCP's installer used to use OpenCandy, but stopped after it came under fire due to malware being installed. ImgBurn's installer if I recall correctly uses OpenCandy and the author, Lighting UK came across as a big prick where he basically said "Install the 'crapware' then uninstall it once ImgBurn is installed" and said "Nope, no binaries only or portable versions". In fact, ImgBurn is quite portable – zip the files up in the installation directory or copy them to your USB Stick and you're gold – I did that to my copy to ImgBurn and it hasn't complained.
I recently tried to download JDownloader 2, which is a all-in-one download manager that will also download files from a lot of file-hosting websites. Just copy and paste the links, it'll check if they are valid, you know the drill. However, the official web downloader will download a adware-infested version of the actual JDownloader setup file which BitDefender detects as a Trojan. You have to dig into the forum archives to find links to the no-adware installer versions which install without any adware attached.
My case here is that software authors need to understand that not everyone wants to install offered crapware with tools – especially those fucking Bing/Ask/SearchProtect/whatever toolbars that fuck up your web bowser. Sure, you can offer them but do not be a prick and hide the "Skip/Decline" button. Give the user two (or three, if you have multiple offers) options that say "Yes, Install", "No, skip", "Skip all". That's all I'm asking. Or go the alternate route and put a screen before the "Setup complete" screen saying that if you like the software, please throw some beer money into the jar. That way the user can decide.
I personally have donated to software developers that make good software and the installer is clean of crapware offers. I understand it takes time and money to make good software, but if your installer infects my machine with crapware before I can even use your software, then I'm not using it.
Just my two cents.
Just thought I'd throw it out there and comment on my experiences of running Windows 8.1 from a USB Hard Disk. The USB Hard Disk is a WD Elements Basic that supports USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed).
Using GImageX, I deployed a vanilla copy of Windows 8.1 Professional – which was actually a hackish way of doing things since you have to fix up the Windows Boot Manager afterwards – to the drive after a fresh format of the NTFS file system. FAT32 will not work… well, it may but you may suffer FS breakage with permissions and the like.
From there, I rebooted and chose the USB HDD as the CSM boot target, and was greeted with the Windows logo and the spinny dots. Installation went as normal, asking for license key, set up your account, etc. You could also do UEFI boot which will show your OEM's boot logo but I chose the CSM boot because UEFI can be a pain in the bum.
The reason I did this installation of Windows is because I have my own optimized version of Gentoo Linux installed and I didn't want to have to mess around getting the two happily talking to each other on local the local hard disks.
Performance wise, the USB3 HDD is enough to keep Windows running smoothly. Windows knows it's on a USB and while the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon does allow you to eject the HDD… I expect a BSOD would occur, or just a "Device is in-use" error. There's a bit of extra latency when applications like Unity3D and Visual Studio start up, but overall it's not bad. As an added bonus, some of my applications seem to load from the internal SSHD faster than a Windows install on the SATA subsystem. Odd.
On the downside, the USB HDD could be prone to failures and also knocks or falls. I am a clumsy sucker some days and have a habit of dropping things (especially cold weather) but I wanted to do this WTG setup for some time, and now that I've done so, it's pretty good. There's other things like BitLocker Encryption and whatnot, but to be honest, I'm not going to be using the drive for top-secret operations so I didn't really bother as BitLocker would add additional overhead and increase the whole deploy Windows from image to disk time.
I had to rescue a Windows 10 laptop that somehow got stuck into a hibernation loop, where it would hibernate and instead of it resuming normally from disk, it would resume and then go back into hibernation mode. Windows 7 or 8.1 doesn't suffer from this, so it's a Windows 10 quirk.
The Windows 10 version the client's laptop was Build 10240, so it's not the "10.1 November 2015" update which is 10584 or something. Anyway, onto the fix. This may corrupt your NTFS partition, so check the disk partition for errors after you do this method!
Choose your poison, I went with the "cache all in ram" since this laptop had 8GB of RAM.
mkdir /mnt/winwoes mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/winwoes
Where /dev/sda3 in this example is the Windows partition. The laptop I was working on had Windows on partition 3.
ntfsfix /dev/sda3
You will get a "FAILED" as it attempts to mount it before hand. Ignore the error. You should get some disk I/O activity and lines followed by "OK". Then, run it again to make sure it sticks. You should get all "OK" or "PASS".
sync && reboot
The sync is important in case the HDD hasn't flushed the changes to disk, and the reboot command will reboot the machine once SysRescueCD gracefully packs up its things and leaves the building.
Windows may complain if you're using 7 or 8.1 about it needing a check disk, let it do so as this is kinda a brute force hack. In Windows 10, I just got a "System disk needs checking for errors" notification. Pop open (once you're in) a Command Prompt and enter "chkdsk /scan" to get Windows to fix itself up if it finds any corruption or damage done.

Dimensions Variable Announces New Home and Partnership with Miami Dade College
Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova (left) and Frances Trombly at Miami Dade College
Courtesy of Dimensions Variable
Artist-run gallery Dimensions Variable has gotten quite used to being in a state of flux. From opening in a donated space in the Design District in 2009 to then functioning as a pop-up gallery before settling in its former downtown Miami location, the gallery has finally found a more permanent home.
Dimensions Variable and Miami Dade College have formed a one-of-a-kind partnership. Pairing a nonprofit, artist-run space with the largest educational institution in the country, the new agreement offers the gallery an eight-year, rent-free lease, plus the promise of programming independence for the gallery's owners, artists Leyden Rodriguez-Casanova and Frances Trombly. Such autonomy is critical, Rodriguez-Casanova says, to an artist-run space, which focuses on presenting innovative, risk-taking exhibitions without having to depend on
"I think we're starting to have a conversation about new models for the survival of young cultural spaces in developing cities, and Miami is a unique place because of its fast development," says Rodriguez-Casanova. "It's the place for new ideas like what we are doing with MDC and what we have been doing throughout our existence."
MDC's art galleries across its various campuses have long served as a home for exhibitions of art and design, establishing themselves as incubators of knowledge and exchange. According to President Dr. Eduardo Padrón, MDC is poised to continue serving its student population and local community through partnerships such as this one. "The pioneers at Miami Dade College and the creative community have built Miami to become a major cultural destination that is centered on the visual arts," says Padrón. "Now more than ever, the College can serve as a leader in this community by taking steps to maintain the vibrancy of this great cultural city."
Set to open in September 2016, the new Dimensions Variable space will offer visual-arts-based installations, exhibitions, and performances of newly created works by emerging and more established contemporary artists. Additionally, the college and gallery will engage in collaborative educational initiatives to support both students and the community at large.
For now, Dimensions Variable can count on long-term security as the gallery — along with Miami — moves into its next cultural phase.

(Oct. 20, 2009) On October 13, 2009, the Knesset (Israel's parliament) extended the application of the Prohibition of Genetic Intervention (Human Cloning and Genetic Change in Multiplying Cells) Law 5759-1999 until May 23, 2016. The Law was initially applicable for five years, but was later extended. Explanatory notes for the extension bill state that the extension is necessitated:
especially in light of the fact that the concerns and lack of knowledge on the implications of implementing cloning techniques in humans still exist in the state they were prior to legislation of the amendment, and of the fact that the global debate on the ethical and legal aspects of the subject still vigorously continues without any decisive determination.
(Prohibition on Genetic Intervention (Human Cloning and Genetic Change in Multiplying Cells) (2nd Amendment) Law, 5770-2009 [in Hebrew], Oct. 13, 2009, the Knesset website, available at http://www.knesset.gov.il/privatelaw/data/18/3/447_3_1.rtf.)
The 1999 Law generally prohibits human reproductive cloning and the use of multiplying cells that underwent germ line gene therapy for the purpose of creating humans. The Law allows, however, genetic intervention if authorized by the Minister of Health, based on the determination that it would not harm human dignity, and with the recommendation of the Superior Helsinki Committee appointed in accordance with the Public Health (Medical Experiments in Human) Regulations, 5741-1980. (Prohibition on Genetic Intervention (Human Cloning and Genetic Change in Multiplying Cells), Law 5759-1999 [in Hebrew], 1697 SEFER HAHUKIM [Official Gazette] 47 (5759-1998); Germline Gene Therapy, UCLA Earth & Space Sciences website, http://www.ess.ucla.edu/huge/germdef.html (last visited Oct. 19, 2009); see also Peter Roudik, RUSSIAN FEDERATION – Ban on Human Cloning Extended for Five More Years , GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR, Oct. 16, 2009, available at //www.loc.gov/lawweb/servlet/lloc_news?disp3_1630_text.)

When we think of sushi we think of Japanese cuisine, the art of rolling fish, vegetables and vinegared rice…but now we're referring to it in the form of pants. So what do we mean when we suggest that you should travel with sushi pants?
Nope, it's nothing fishy! Sushi pants refer to putting an outfit together, so that you take your pants and the best matching shirt and then you roll them up together. So essentially what you are doing is rolling your outfit together in one piece.
The benefit of this is that it keeps your travel wardrobe organized and efficient so when you are in a rush to put together an outfit, if you need a new outfit after one of your outings or a day at the beach, or if you don't want to spend minute after minute deciding what to wear, then you just unroll one of your sushi pant outfits (which were pre-planned before your travels) and you're good to go.
When traveling there is always something else that you have to do, so whether you get wet or dirty, having your sushi pants combination close at hand will definitely be beneficial and allow you to change without having to head back to your hotel first.
Some tips on what to pack for your sushi pant combinations are for instance a black, beige or khaki colored pant together with Anatomie's Monte Carlo top. Or you can pair a white Monika Dress with a white tank top underneath and then roll them up together for a casual and chic day look.
When it comes to travel, we all want convenience and to make our trips easier. This seems like a pretty good way to achieve that.


text: Becoming an admin has made me feel a bit nostalgic about this wiki. I know a year, four months and two and a half weeks doesn't sound like a lot, but I remember when I first joined on September 10, 2009 (I would not have remembered that if it weren't for my profile), I was too nervous to edit anything except grammar and spelling mistakes, and I couldn't find any that day. I remember the first edit I made that was outside of my profile was Lucky Roo. I had been reading about some pirates on Wikipedia and came across a pirate named William Rous. I thought that was where his name came from. So, I plucked up some courage, and added it to Lucky Roo's trivia section. It was removed about ten minutes later. I also rememberr the first blog I ever wrote. It was a question asking what the text in the lower left hand corner of wanted posters said. As time passed I slowly became more and more familiar with the rules and how things are run around here, and here I am today. So, this is something fun I feel like doing. I'd like to here your firsts. Tell me your first article edit, and if it stayed there. What was your first blog, if you wrote one, and anything else that was a first for you on here.

So I would suggest if your child is trying to be independent you are better off with a traditional style with arms they can put on themselves. Maybe trying both styles Venezuela best sales ralph lauren shorts . They look much better on than I thought they would too. Bonus! These sunglasses are the best optical experience I have ever had .

Birth of a Bridge Talon Books,Canada
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Reminiscent of the sweeping scale of classic American adventure films, this Medici Prize-winning novel chronicles the construction of an immense suspension bridge in a fictional city in California. Maylis de Kerangal interweaves the stories of a dozen men and women from the consortium of workers who converge on the site. With their various nationalities and social classes, these engineers, designers, divers, overseers, and protesters present a microcosm of not just California, but of humanity as a whole. Their collective effort to realize the megaproject recounts one of the oldest of human dramas, to domesticate-and to radically transform-our world through built form. Kerangal's writing has been widely praised for its scope, originality, and use of language. The style of her prose is rich and innovative, playing with different registers (from the most highly literary to the most colloquial slang), taking risks and inventing words, and playing with speed and tension through grammatical ellipsis and elision. She employs a huge vocabulary and, most strikingly, brings together words not often combined to evoke startling comparisons. Maylis de Kerangal is the author of several novels in French. Her most recent, Naissance d'un pont / Birth of a Bridge, won not only the Medici Prize but also the Franz Hessel Prize. She lives in Paris, France. Jessica Moore is the author of Everything, Now, part lyric, part memoir, as well as a translation of Jean-Francois Beauchemin's Turkana Boy. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.

Australia might be famous for its fashions on the field at the horse racing, but one equestrian event that is taking over in the style stakes is the polo.
With the annual Jeep Portsea Polo taking place at Victoria's scenic Mornington Peninsula this weekend, celebrity stylist Mikey Ayoubi opened up to Fairfax about the looks that will help score you a goal… and the ones that are sure to get you sent for a time out.
One thing people get wrong over and over again is when they hear horses they automatically think they should dress for a day at the track.
"Remember, you are not dressing to the nines like you do at the races. It's a day event, you are on the grass and the conditions are quite different to having rules like the races do," Ayoubi , who has worked with the likes of singer Jessica Mauboy, model Lara Worthington (nee Bingle) and OITNB's Yael Stone, explained.
"The polo is about being a bit more practical and relaxed... It's more classical without being boring."
Think wedges over slim heels
"Stiletto heels are a big no-no because you will get stuck in the grass and you are standing on grass all day," he said.
If you want that bit of added height, he recommends a thick heel, wedges or otherwise "beautiful flats", but he warned: "If you are a short person and you are wearing flats, you are going to look kind of small, which is not really a great look."
For the guys, try leather sandals or loafers over runners.
It ain't Ibiza
Glitzy clothing or revealing, fitted dresses that look more like "sexy clubwear" should be completely off-limits, according to Ayoubi.
"You can do sexy, but it should be more suggestive sexy and not being too obvious," he said.
Wednesday Adams' all-black everything is not at all suitable
"When people wear the wrong colour, it doesn't look good," Ayoubi started out.
"Like, when people wear all-black. It's too harsh, you should mix it up with some tan or maybe with some brown.. you could even add a belt. Black is too much like evening wear," he explained.
Fluorescent colours or an all-metallic ensemble are another another fashion faux pas. "Fluro looks great at a themed party, but not at the polo... it's very inappropriate."
Sportswear is for the players only
Ayoubi says he cannot understand why people wear sportswear to a sports event like the polo. Elaborating, he said: "When shoes are a bit more like runners or they are wearing just T-shirts. I suppose that's more for guys, women in glitzy dress is similar."
Fascinators are "inappropriate"
It's up to the person whether they decide to adorn a hat or not but he said "fascinators look ridiculous at the polo".
The stylist to the stars recommends a "boater or beautiful straw hats, like hats you wear on a yacht or outdoors".
The latest trend of crowns, most notably seen at the Melbourne Cup, is to be steered well clear of because they are "too decorative and look too much like fascinators".
Less is more
As a general rule, Ayoubi recommends to "take one thing off" before heading out the door for the day at the field.
"Don't overdo it," he said. "The polo has a country-esque, outdoor theme and your outfit should reflect that."

That has been my big question.
I like resolutions. I like trying to do better. But, let's be honest, the big strict regulations we inflict at this miserable time of year are likely to fail. I'm also no longer keen on adding any more pressure by suggesting I will be happier if I eat less / drink less / run more blah blah.
Last year I tried picking a phrase, writing it on a card and keeping it in my diary.
I think I am going to do the same thing this year.
So, in 2014 I will mostly be remembering to "keep my own counsel".
Reading this on a public blog is slightly ironic, and then there's my use of social media to consider.......
Maybe I should just eat less.

Our daughter got married at Founders Hall at Charles Towne Landing so we needed to be close to the venue. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast buffett was delicious with lots of choices with area constantly being cleaned by the staff. Thanks again for a wonderful weekend. Will definitely recommend to others.

Blackmores Flaxseed Oil 1000mg is a source of beneficial omega-3,6, and 9 fatty acids, in particular it is a rich source of omega-3 containing 60% alpha-linolenic acid.
In Western diets today, the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is significantly lower than recommended.
The richest sources of omega-3 are fish and eggs, therefore vegetarians often are at risk of having low levels of omega-3 in their diet.
Features and benefits
A good balance of these healthy nutrients may:
* help to reduce inflammation
* contribute to a healthy heart and cardiovascular system
* be important for healthy skin and hair
A deficiency in essential fatty acids such as omega-3 can lead to dryness, scaliness and redness of the skin.
Blackmores Flaxseed Oil 1000mg is:
* Pure & organic (utilising organic flax)
* Vegetarian friendly (using vegetarian capsules)
* High percentage of omega-3s (60%)
* Cold- pressed
How it works
* Flaxseed is a vegetable source of omega-3 essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the parent fatty acid of all omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
* The essential fatty acids in flaxseed oil are part of the basic building block of cell membranes and a good source of energy.
* Flaxseed oil may contribute to the reduction of inflammation by providing a building block of anti-inflammatory biochemicals and by decreasing the inflammatory effects of excess omega-6 fatty acid linolenic acid (AL) so abundant in vegetable oils. ALA may also reduce platelet aggregation. All important for maintaining good heart health.
Adults - As a supplement for improved balance of essential fatty acids:
Take 1 to 2 capsules 3 times daily, or as professionally prescribed.
Adults - As an anti-inflammatory:
Take 2 to 4 capsules 3 times daily, or as professionally prescribed.
Children (from 6 years to 12 years) - Take 1 to 2 capsules daily (prick and squeeze into milk or juice), or as professionally prescribed.
Children (under 6 years) - Only as professionally prescribed.
Contraindicated with allergy to Linaceae (the flax family of plants)
Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.
Side Effects
None clinically significant noted in literature at the recommended dosage
Active Ingredients Per Capsule
Linseed oil (Flaxseed oil) 1g (1000mg)
(containing Linolenic acid 600mg)
Medicine interactions
None clinically significant noted in the literature at the recommended dosage
Physical description
Opaque black, unprinted, oblong, soft vegetarian capsule.
