Chilly temperatures and light snow didn't stop the show Thursday night as a sellout crowd turned out for the Valentine's Day red carpet gala and opening night of the ninth annual Boulder International Film Festival.
"We don't want it to be too nice. This is perfect film weather," said Robin Beeck, who founded the festival with her sister, Kathy, in 2005.
The festival drew 5,000 attendees its first year. Beeck said organizers are expecting as many as 19,000 people this year.
"It just keeps growing and growing, and it's a great community event," she said.
In a break from festival tradition, this year's gala was not held at the Boulder Theater, the venue where the opening-night film -- the music documentary "Muscle Shoals," directed and produced by Boulder's own Greg "Freddy" Camalier -- was screened at 8 p.m.
Instead, the gala was split into two parties, one held in the Hotel Boulderado ballroom and another across the street at Rembrandt Yard, both featuring live music, fine foods, beer and wine from the Francis Ford Coppola Winery.
"This is a great idea, spreading it out like this," Boulder resident and multi-year BIFF veteran Bill Dennler said as he snacked on treats at Rembrandt Yard. One of Dennler's favorite additions this year was various volunteers who paraded the party venues dressed as famous movie characters including Darth Vader and Dorothy and her pals from "The Wizard of Oz."
Another longtime BIFF veteran, Sushil Abraham, recently relocated to Frederick, Md., after years of living in Boulder. He said he came back to town specifically for the festival this weekend and hopes to see 16 films, which would be a new record for him.
"It's a great festival, and I really enjoy it," he said.
Andrea Meyer, of Boulder, was attending her first BIFF event Thursday night and said she and her boyfriend were excited for "Muscle Shoals."
"This is a really cool event, and it's nice that it is on Valentine's
Day," she said.
Two other films on Meyer's must-see list this weekend are "My Father and the Man in Black," a documentary about Johnny Cash and his longtime manager, and "The Iceman." Based on true events, "The Iceman" chronicles the life of Richard Kuklinski, whose wife and kids, at the time of his arrest in 1986, had no idea he was one of the most prolific contract killers in America.
The last guest to stroll up the red carpet and into the theater Thursday night before "Muscle Shoals" began rolling was this year's BIFF "Pinnacle Award" winner and two-time Academy Award-nominated actor Peter Fonda. Fonda sported a white scarf and black dress coat, accented with a pair of bright red Oakley Formula One motorsport racing boots.
The actor said he was happy to have been invited and called Boulder one of the best cities in America. He said he was excited to see "Muscle Shoals."
"I've heard so much about it," Fonda said. "This is my chance to see it on the big screen."

Biodiversity and Children
What could be more rewarding than spending some time with your children observing life in your garden (or even your balcony or park)? Whether it is planting some seeds and watching them grow into veggies, or watching butterflies visit a flower and roll out their long �straw� to drink nectar, if you just take the time, your garden will give your children a moment of internal quietness while they witness amazing buzzing activity.
Before you start, try to make enough free time in order to enjoy nature�s activities with the family. With a bit of patience and flexibility, you can involve even small kids in the preparation phase and pick and choose your favourite activities:
1. Give your children their own little plot of land or their own plant container. Ownership is important here! No mum/dad or big sibling needs to interfere in the young child�s personal approach when it comes to gardening! A little freedom can create miracles (be prepared to bite your tongue if it does not look pretty or neat)!
2. Find some easy, fast-growing plant seeds which the children can also enjoy, such as giant sunflowers (they grow taller than dad), sweet peas (nice to harvest and eat right away) or the edible nasturtium (the tall growing 3-4m ones). Make it into a routine to check the process daily and talk the waiting time away with stories and riddle games about nature and by looking at nature books...
3. Small-sized garden tools and little gloves can make it into a special moment, working alongside mum or dad!
4. Planting indigenous bushes and flowers which attract butterflies, bumblebees, and bees (see our 4 language-list on our website www.sunbeams.eu) can make your patch of land into a feast for the eyes and nose. You can easily find nature books and websites which can help you and your kids to learn all about local species.
5. Do not forget to leave a patch of land to nature: the host plants for butterfly eggs and larvae are often called �weeds� by humans. Sowing some wild flower seeds in between makes it look very pretty. Leaving some piles of wood and stones will offer shelter for them as well!
6. Making your garden into a haven for birds is very rewarding: shrubs for birds to hide from predators, bushes with berries for their food (go for the local species), a little pond or water area, all of these will make a huge difference. Extra feeding is only necessary in winter time (November-February), but water is always welcome.
7. Hedgehogs and rabbits might visit your garden if you leave a space in and/or under the fence/wall/hedge of your garden for them to pass through.
8. And of course, it is not ideal to use pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides when you have children around. There are many alternatives available: e.g. eco-labelled garden products, homemade potions (internet!), or rediscover some old wisdom by combining the right plants to keep away insects (e.g. permaculture techniques).
9. A little pond with a shallow slope will automatically bring guests and permanent inhabitants: salamanders and frogs will find their way to your garden (do not get eggs from other places as these might bring with them the wrong bacteria for your local amphibians), and all kinds of dragonflies will become regular visitors!
10. Planting a domestic tree is a lovely thing to do with kids (local species can be found on our website in several languages)! Make sure you plant them in the right season (October to March) and that you find the right spot for them to grow big!
11. Last but not least: composting. There is no better educational process to observe with your children: the complete cycle! Involve your children in composting your kitchen waste, putting it into the right bin, bringing it outside in a little bucket, adding the right green and brown layers, maybe some more water or cardboard and watching the worms do all the work. Then, finally to end the cycle, add the compost to their little garden to make their next season seeds grow tall....

A few nice addresses:
- Toy shops such as e.g. Nature et D�couvertes (www.natureetdecouvertes.be)Woluwe Shopping Centre, City 2 and Esplanade in Louvain-la-Neuve) and Lokilino (Tervuren) offer many ideas for nature activities;
- Webshop of Vivara (www.vivara.be) gives a commission fee to nature organisations like Natuurpunt (www.natuurpunt.be ) and Vogelbescherming (www.vogelbescherming.be );
- Some English bookshops have a good selection of nature books for kids, e.g. Treasure Trove (Tervuren).

Mobility with Kids
I live less than 300 metres from a large grocery shopping complex. Due to my lack of a driver's license, this proximity to the shops was of primary concern when we chose our house (right behind price!). Yet shortly after moving in, I realised that my dream of popping up at the shops to do the weekly re-stocking of groceries had turned into a nightmare for one reason - the kids.
In my dream, I had never bothered to work out the seemingly impossible logistics of transporting three small children (at the time, all under 5), four large bags of shopping and my own, increasingly lagging morale, for 300 metres. What had initially seemed a hop, skip and jump from the house was suddenly more daunting than a marathon. Finally, after yet another epic excursion with me trying in vain to strap babies to my body, toddler in pushchair, bags of groceries to said pushchair and still have a hand free to escort the five-year-old across the road, I decided to take action. With persistence, I came up with three possible solutions: the bike trailer, the bike wagon (bakfiets in Dutch) or a Radio Flyer-type pull wagon.
A bike trailer is a sort of cart that can be attached to nearly any standard adult bike. Most trailers can fit a maximum of two children and have a small "boot" area in the rear. Some models can be transformed into a three-wheeled pushchair as well, albeit a large and cumbersome one. Bike trailers have several advantages: they are reasonably priced (a dedicated eBay search can find new models costing around 200 euro including transport), they are (usually) easily removed from your bike when you aren't bringing the kids for a ride, they are a convenient method of transporting more than one child at a time and they are remarkably stable. Bike trailers are built so that even if the bike tips over, the trailer stays upright. They also provide shelter from the elements for the children - but unfortunately not the cyclist! Finally, they can be used with very young babies, provided you install a proper baby seat. Some models will accommodate a Maxi-Cosi-type seat, but there is usually room for only one of these. A more practical option is the baby-seat designed for cycling with a trailer. These are very popular in The Netherlands where they are called a "babyschaal" and common brands include the Melia, Weber and Chariot. Several online shops offer transport to Belgium.
However, there are some other considerations when deciding on a bike trailer. First, make sure the model you choose will fit through any doors you will need to pass through to get it from where you are storing it to the street! Even with the wheel guards removed, a bike trailer is wider than most things you are likely to try getting out of the front door. You will also want to make sure you have adequate space to store it; unlike a collapsible buggy, once it is constructed, you are unlikely to want to completely dismantle the contraption after each use. You will likely also want a basket and saddle bags for your bike; the "boot" space in a trailer is far from spacious. Safety is another concern. Although trailers are stable, they do "trail" behind the bike and the not-so-vigilant driver might not notice their presence. The best way to mitigate this is to attach a flag to the trailer and to swallow your pride and just walk the thing across the zebra crossing. And of course, strap a helmet on yourself and your passengers. Finally, even the lightest bike trailer can become agonisingly heavy when loaded with kilos of toddler, baby, shopping, nappy bag, etc. If you are serious about doing the shopping with a bike trailer, and you aren't in the running for �World's Strongest Parent,� make sure your bike has gears. And as you sweat your way up the hill, remind yourself how much money you are saving on gym memberships!
A bike wagon attached to the front of an adult bike is one way to avoid the risk of drivers not noticing the children they are dragging around. Most drivers are bound to see it coming, especially if you have invested in one of the attractive pioneer-style canopies to protect your urchins from the meteorological elements. But investment is the key word here. These wagons do not come cheap - expect to pay at least 500 euro. And because they are not as easily removed from the bike as a trailer, if you want to do any cycling without the wagon, you're going to need a second bike. Due to their impressive size, locking them up can be a logistical challenge. However, for all that, they ooze old-world charm. And you'd be hard-pressed to find a kid that didn't want a ride.
For those not inspired to join the "peloton" of urban-chic cyclist mommies, why not try a simple pull wagon? Sure, they can be a little large and unwieldy, but imagine the fun of trekking out to the shops with the kids able to hop in and out as often as their little hearts desire (or as often as mommy feels inclined to stop and wait for them to clamber in/out, again). And unlike the tipsy pushchair, you don't need to worry that your hoard of groceries (or whatever) is going to cause Junior to do a backflip the second you let go of the handlebars. Again, you're going to need space to store it, and it isn't the most practical option for the baby who can't sit unaided, but for those of us with toddlers and pre-schoolers ,it can add a dash of sanity to the chaos that is shopping with children.
In the end, I chose a bike trailer and invested in two special seats: one for the newborn baby (Melia Babyschaal 0-8 months) and one for the toddler (Melia Babyschaal 8-18 months). The seats were a pain to install, but once in, were sturdy and, what with their faux-sheepskin coverings, provided the itsy-bitsies with luxurious first-class travelling quarters. I use the trailer for nearly all distances under 6 km and within six months it had paid for itself with money saved on tram and bus tickets. And the best bit: I didn't feel guilty about that bar of chocolate - surely I'd earned it!
yoga kids
YogaKids is a unique approach to integrative learning using yoga as a pathway. Reading, music, creative arts and earthcare blend seamlessly with yoga movement to educate the "whole" child. The YogaKids curriculum provides children, from the ages of 5 to 12, with an exciting new way to explore and appreciate their creative potential. Children learn invaluable skills that set the groundwork for meeting challenges and growing strong physically, mentally and emotionally, cultivating self-esteem for a lifetime of successful achievement.
Yogakids has recreated traditional yoga techniques in playful, simple and fun ways. Using the Multiple Intelligences Theory of Harvard educator Howard Gardner as a foundation, each pose becomes a springboard for activities that open the doorway to fully integrated learning. We hiss like snakes when we do the cobra pose and squawk in the eagle pose.
The dog pose is always a favorite because, not only do we bark, we also walk around the room on all fours and cock our legs, "pssssss!" That gets everyone laughing. There's a serious purpose too. When we do the flamingo pose, for instance, we talk about their ecology (what flamingos eat, where they live, why their feathers are pink). I also teach basic anatomy so the children can understand how their bodies work, and how they're building strength, flexibility and coordination through yoga. YogaKids creates the ultimate learning adventure while helping youths de-stress and relax. If you'd like to learn more about YogaKids, please do not hesitate to contact me or visit the website: www.yogakids.com

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - For security reasons, the president and vice president rarely venture abroad at the same time. But events next week may compel both Barack Obama and Joe Biden to be out of the country on the same day, at least for a matter of hours.
President Obama leaves on Tuesday night on a trip to Israel, the West Bank and Jordan. Earlier on Tuesday, Vice President Biden will be attending ceremonies in Rome surrounding the installation of new Pope Francis.
What is uncertain is whether Biden will be back in the United States by the time Obama departs on his trip. His official schedule has not been released.
Ben Rhodes, the White House deputy national security adviser, said he did not know for certain whether both Obama and Biden would be out of the country at the same time.
"We do take those considerations into account and do prudent planning to ensure that we are prepared for any contingencies and we often seek to coordinate their travel for that purpose," Rhodes told reporters.

Harvard University, one of the world's leading centers for scientific research, has established that creationism is becoming increasingly more powerful in the world and that the global center for this is the work of the Science Research Foundation (BAV). The latest edition of the book The Creationists, from Scientific Creationism to Intelligent Design devotes a special section to the work of the BAV in setting out the fact of creation. The section in question is summarized as follows in a report headed "Creation Museums and the Rise of Global Creationism:"
An unusual phenomenon that seems to be popping up a lot lately—the creation museum. America"s first one is set to open this spring in Petersburg, Kentucky. The $26.4 million facility boasts animatronic dinosaurs and a state-of-the-art SFX theater, all designed to convince visitors that God created the world exactly as it's described in the Bible.
And it"s not just in the US. Like everything these days, creationism is going global, as evidenced by a campaign to open small creation museums across Turkey (a typical one, located in an Istanbul kebab shop, greets visitors with a portrait of Charles Darwin framed in dripping blood). Matt Mossman reports in this month"s issue of SEED Magazine:
"In its latest campaign, BAV [Bilim Arastirma Vakfi, or "Scientific Research Foundation"] has opened more than 80 "museums" in restaurants, malls, and city halls across Turkey, each stocked with fossils, posters, and eager volunteers. Oktar"s disciples use tactics cribbed from US organizations like California"s Institute for Creation Research, instructing passersby that evolution cannot explain biology"s complexity and is against the word of God."
BAV runs quite a sophisticated operation, as evidenced by its website, which, according to Mossman, offers downloadable Power Point presentations and questions with which students can challenge their evolution-loving science teachers. And the affinity with US creationists isn"t mere coincidence–a BAV spokesman traveled to the US last year to testify in the Kansas Board of Education"s intelligent design hearings. Beyond the US and Turkey, creationist movements in Britain and Australia (where they seem to be particularly strong) suggest a growing global trend.
For some time, the standard account of the rise of global creationism has been Ronald Numbers"s The Creationists: From Scientific Creationism to Intelligent Design. In November, HUP will publish an expanded edition of this classic, which tracks the development of creationist thinking over the centuries. Two new chapters chronicle the intelligent design movement and the new thrust of global creationism, which we can see at work in the examples above.
September 2006 European edition of the world-renowned scientific journal American Scientific carried a report concerning activities in Europe and Turkey on the subject of creation. The largest part of the article was about Adnan Oktar, better known under the pen name Harun Yahya, and his activities. The magazine described Adnan Oktar's activities on the subject of Darwinism by saying that a book called The Evolution Deceit had been in existence for some years, selling millions of copies a year, and that the book had had a profound effect in the Netherlands, and went on to say:

Matilda Ledger is a Flower Girl
Michelle Williams and soap star Kane Manera hold hands with her daughter Matilda, 3, on Wednesday (March 18) in Brooklyn, New York City.
Matilda was seen carrying back a pot full of flowers. How cute!
Michelle recently told UK's Observer about a possible move across the pond. She shared, "I don't want to make my life any more complicated. I don't want any more paparazzi outside my door. I want it to get better as my daughter grows up, not worse. If it makes a difference, if doing smaller movies means less of that stuff, then I'll adjust my life so that we can still have a life in the city and not totally disappear. If not, I think they have laws in France – I'll go there."
FYI: Kane has been playing Grady Foley in CBS soap Guiding Light since June 2, 2008.

Has your little man met the age where he too big for his crib, but still not quite big enough for a standard sized bed?

The Destiny'S Child reunion is on for the Super Bowl on Sunday (03Feb13) - a New Orleans Saints cheerleader has let it slip she saw the trio rehearsing on Thursday (31Jan13).
Beyonce and her former bandmates have been coy about reports of a comeback at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana during the half-time show, but it seems they haven't been able to lock down rehearsals.
Cheerleader Courtney Labat, who will be performing with Beyonce on Sunday, was caught out on Friday when Entertainment Tonight reporter Rocsi Diaz asked her if rehearsals with Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland have been good.
She replied, "Yeah, they've been awesome. We were actually able to see the show yesterday."
If the reports are true, it will be Destiny's Child first public performance in five years.

Video: Man killed in Seattle OIS: 'I've got a pistol, too'
Police fatally shot a man Tuesday night after he led state troopers on a pursuit before pulling a gun on an officer
By Sara Jean Green
The Seattle Times
SEATTLE — Seattle police fatally shot a 36-year-old man Tuesday night after he led state troopers on a chase on Interstate 5 in a stolen pickup before bailing out of the vehicle and pulling a gun on an officer, authorities said.
The handgun the man pointed at the officer turned out to be a pellet gun, police said.
The pursuit began around 10:30 p.m. near milepost 140 in Federal Way, close to the King-Pierce county line, when a trooper began following a vehicle traveling north at 80 mph in a 60 mph zone, according to a Washington State Patrol incident memo released Wednesday.
Several other troopers and a State Patrol aircraft assisted in what turned out to be a 20-mile pursuit, the memo says. A second trooper took over the pursuit as the vehicle reached Interstate 405.
The State Patrol said the pickup averaged speeds of 100 mph and made erratic lane changes before leaving the freeway at the Swift Avenue South/South Albro Place exit.
Seattle police spokesman Drew Fowler said that after exiting the freeway, the driver "came to a stop and bailed out," causing the pickup to roll back into a guardrail. The driver then ran and hid inside or behind a storage shed in the 6400 block of South Eddy Street, Fowler said.
A K-9 officer and a second, "cover" officer tracked the man to where he was hiding, according to police. While inside the shed, the man told the officers: "I've got a pistol, too," police said.
At some point, the man pointed a gun at the officers as he came out of hiding and was fatally shot by the cover officer, Fowler said.
Fowler explained that during a K-9 track, a K-9 officer is focused on handling the dog while the "cover officer" is responsible for keeping the handler and dog safe and identifying any threats.
Police said the gun turned out to be a "realistic-looking" pellet gun.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office on Wednesday identified the man as Austin J. Derby. He died of multiple gunshot wounds.
According to court records and a state Department of Corrections (DOC) spokeswoman, Derby had a long criminal history — including convictions for kidnapping, robbery, forgery and taking a motor vehicle — dating back to 1998.
He was first admitted to prison in 2002 and was released to community corrections in 2012. His DOC supervision ended last August, the spokeswoman said.
During a news conference Wednesday morning on another matter, Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole said "it's clear [the man killed by police] had a firearm and he threatened a police officer."
The officer who shot Derby joined the Seattle department in 2008, according to Fowler. He is on paid administrative leave, which is routine after an officer-involved shooting.
A female passenger inside the pickup remained with the vehicle and was treated for injuries — described in the State Patrol memo as a "headache" — from the crash, Fowler said.
She is not considered a suspect in the case, police said.
Trooper Chris Webb said Wednesday the stolen vehicle was a white 2013 Ford F-150 pickup. Detectives were working to determine where and when it had been stolen.
Tuesday night's shooting came less than 48 hours after an armed 23-year-old man was fatally shot around 4 p.m. Monday by a King County sheriff's deputy assigned to Sound Transit at the transit agency's Sodo Station.
On Wednesday, the deputy was identified as Deputy Malcolm Elliott, 39, by sheriff's spokeswoman, Sgt. DB Gates. Elliott joined the sheriff's office in February 2002 and transferred to the Sound Transit police division in early 2009, Gates said.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office identified the 23-year-old as Oscar Perez-Giron and said he died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Howdy, howdy boys and girls.
I'm still here, just awfully busy.
DW lost her job 03 August, so the last few months have been a real challenge for us...our util is going in the WRONG direction...
The good news is that she starts a new job 01 November, so there IS light at the end of the tunnel, but it seems awfully far away.
No Apps since 08 August...I'm about two weeks shy of my silver spade...
Well, in terms of good news / bad news, at least you started with bad news but ended with good news... much better than the other way around! Congrats to your wife for finding a new job and best wishes to her.
Silver spade on the horizon... woo hoo!!!
I got another SW today, and my EQ score has gone up 5 points! I'm now at 722, which is only 1 point shy of where I was before my recent app spree.
This latest boost was from my BoA Visa Signature card "settling" into my garden. Since it's a BoA siggy card, the $5000 CL doesn't report, only the high balance. I had charged and paid off a little over $300 before the very first statement cut, but there was an additional last minute ~$200 charge came through and there was no time to get it paid before the statement cut. So, the card must have been weighted in as being close to maxed out -- yuck! Well, this past month I got my high balance up to $1216 and once again closed out the statement with another charge of around $200. Now the card doesn't look maxed out, so I got a score boost! Next month I'll try to see if I can close out the statement with a $0 balance, and at some point I should be able to up my high balance. But for now, I'm much happier with the way that my siggy card is reporting.
All in all, my little seedlings are settling into my garden very nicely! Now that I've had a couple of statement cycles pass, I have more control over issues relating to the timing of util reporting. Glad see my scores on the rise!
Revelate wrote:
Still gardening, Beacon 5.0 score has flatlined at 643 for the past few months, ah well. Looking back at my plan with more experience, I think I should've applied for a CLI-chaser card (GE-backed something or other) to have something more short-term than the theoretical mortgage to look forward to from a credit building perspective.
I suppose it could be worse as at least I am barely over the minimum mortgage underwriting hurdle with that score .
Trying to build some measuring sticks in the rest of my life other than my finances, hopefully that'll keep me on track towards my goals.
Stick with it Revelate! It sure does seem like you've come a long way in less than 12 months. So imagine what will happen as time continues to take effect. Inquiries falling off, baddies falling off, AAoA increasing, etc. will all bring you to the level you need for that desired mortgage. Congrats on all the progress, and keep your head held high.
I am now entering the garden, i think this is neccessary since i am now realizing how addictive credit is.
... they see me gard'nin ... they hatin' ...
app free since 6/25/12
we're all gonna make it brahs
Almost there! Only 3 more days until the Nov 2012 garden club is in existence.
I'm twitching .... must app lol only been 2 weeks jk I only want one more card and I know I have to wait 6 months for that atleast. I gained 30k + in credit limits this month so I can sit tight for now =) (starting from $3,500 limits hehe)
Im in!
Last credit pulled June 2012. Planning to garden until April 2012.
Starting Score: MyFICO Equifax Score 523 (pulled March 2011)
Current Score: MyFICO Equifax Score 643, MYFICO Transunion Score 628, Experian report from there website 651 (pulled October 2012)

Diamonds are supposed to be a girl's best friend. Now, they might also be her mother, father or grandmother.
Swiss company Algordanza takes cremated human remains and — under high heat and pressure that mimic conditions deep within the Earth — compresses them into diamonds.
Rinaldo Willy, the company's founder and CEO, says he came up with the idea a decade ago. Since then, his customer base has expanded to 24 countries.
Each year, the remains of between 800 and 900 people enter the facility. About three months later, they exit as diamonds, to be kept in a box or turned into jewelry.
Most of the stones come out blue, Willy says, because the human body contains trace amounts of boron, an element that may be involved in bone formation. Occasionally, though, a diamond pops out white, yellow or close to black – Willy's not sure why. Regardless, he says, "every diamond from each person is slightly different. It's always a unique diamond."
Most of the orders Algordanza receives come from relatives of the recently deceased, though some people make arrangements for themselves to become diamonds once they've died. Willy says about 25 percent of his customers are from Japan.
At between $5,000 and $22,000, the process costs as much as some funerals. The process and machinery involved are about the same as in a lab that makes synthetic diamonds from other carbon materials.
The basic process reduces the ash to carbon, then slides it into a machine that applies intense heat and pressure — for weeks. That's at least several hundred million years faster than diamonds are made in nature.
"The more time you give this process, the bigger the rough diamond starts to grow," Willy says. After the new diamond cools off, the crystal is ground and cut to shape, and sometimes engraved with a laser.
It only takes about a pound of ashes to make a single diamond, Willy says. His company has created up to nine diamonds from one individual's ashes.
Algordanza isn't the only company blinging out the afterlife, either. An American company called LifeGem offers the same services, and there are a number of U.S. patents for similar procedures.
Most of the time, Willy says, people take the diamonds to a jeweler to be made into rings or pendants.
"I don't know why, but if the diamond is blue, and the deceased also had blue eyes, I hear almost every time that the diamond had the same color as the eyes of the deceased," says Willy, who personally delivers the diamonds to his Swiss customers.
Each time, he says, the family is happy that their loved one has, in a sense, returned home. And in sparkling form to boot.
Ten years ago, Rinaldo Willy was reading about how to make synthetic diamonds from ashes when he realized any kind of ashes might work, even those of a human. Today, his company turns people into diamonds, or rather they take cremation ashes and compress them at very high heat, turning them into these precious gems. Rinaldo Willy joins us from Switzerland, where his company, Algordanza Memorial Diamonds, is based. Welcome to the show, Mr. Willy.
RINALDO WILLY: Thank you.
MARTIN: Can you break it down for us? How does this work?
WILLY: Well, the process is in two parts. The chemical part is to gain the carbon out of the cremation ashes. And the physical part is to imitate nature by using a machine, which is able to build up a lot of pressure and heat. The more time you give this process, the bigger the rough diamond starts to grow.
MARTIN: And I understand that the diamonds you're making don't all come out the same color.
WILLY: Yeah. We were also surprised at the beginning when every diamond got blue. And we figured out by analysis that it's the element boron who gives the diamond the bluish diamond. But one time the diamonds turned white and we were a bit irritated, not secure if we had done any mistake or if we got any impurity during the process. So, we repeat it and it turned again white. And after we have got information that this person died of cancer and was treated very aggressive with chemo...
MARTIN: Um-hum. Chemotherapy.
WILLY: ...and the chemistry was telling us, well, chemo has an influence on the amount of boron. So, we assumed that was the reason why the diamonds got white. But what we have is every diamond from each person, it's slightly different. So, it's always a unique diamond.
MARTIN: So, what do people do with these diamonds?
WILLY: What we know from Europe, the very favorite is to produce jewelry out of it. We know from Asia culture that they prefer a lot of pendants. So, it's always depending from culture.
MARTIN: Have you reached out or have you communicated at all from families who have received these diamonds?
WILLY: The most reaction, astonishing, is happiness. I don't know why. But say if the diamond is blue and the deceased had also blue eyes, I hear almost every time the diamond had the same color of the eyes. And they were happy that a family member comes back home.
MARTIN: Rinaldo Willy is the founder and CEO of Algordanza, a company that makes diamonds out of human remains. He joined us from Switzerland. Mr. Willy, thanks so much for talking with us.
WILLY: Was my pleasure.

Two new mock drafts released this week has former wide receiver Ole Miss wide receiver Donte Moncrief being selected in the late second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, set for May 8-10.
NFL media analyst Bucky Brooks projects Moncrief to the San Francisco 49ers with the 56th overall pick in his latest mock draft.
"The 49ers need a speed receiver on the perimeter to open up the field for Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree," Brooks wrote. "Moncrief is a remarkable size-speed athlete, with the potential to slide into Boldin's spot when the veteran retires in a few seasons."
Here's the link to the full article, "Mock Draft 5.0: Jadeveon Clowney, AJ McCarronn to Texans"
ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper, who previously slotted Moncrief to the Indianapolis Colts with the 59th overall pick in a "Grade A draft," projects him to the San Diego Chargers with the 57th overall pick in his latest mock draft.
"With the measurables of a player typically drafted much higher, Moncrief is one of the best size/speed equations in the draft, but he was inconsistent in 2013 and lands here," Kiper wrote. "San Diego isn't set at WR just because Keenan Allen had a good year. The Chargers are thin behind him."
For ESPN Insider subscribers, here's the link to the full article, "Kiper: Mock 4.0 goes two rounds"

(AP) – In an impatient age of social media and instant communication, a close presidential election on Tuesday forced patience upon an army of journalists anxious for answers.
Hours after some of the first polls closed, news organizations said most states that were considered true battlegrounds were too close to call. Burned eight years ago by early exit polls that proved misleading, there was care taken not to draw too many conclusions this time — partly, as CBS' Bob Schieffer said, because many of the findings were contradictory.
"This is going to be one of the great nail-biters tonight," said Chris Matthews on MSNBC.
Two of the three biggest broadcast networks had new leaders in place for presidential election night coverage. Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos teamed on ABC, and Scott Pelley led the CBS coverage. Brian Williams was back in the anchor seat at NBC.
But 2012 was notable for the vast array of outlets that an interested consumer could command to create their own media experience on different screens, with web sites offering deep drill-downs in data and social media hosting raucous conversations.
A still-unclear picture early in the evening led to some tortured language on television. "We are not in receipt of any information that we're trying to hint about," said NBC's Brian Williams before 9 p.m. EST. "All we're saying is, if you're in the Romney organization, you would probably like some of these battlegrounds to have closed by now, or very soon."
News outlets carefully parsed information and sometimes used the same facts for contradictory conclusions.
Fox News analyst Brit Hume noted an exit poll finding that 42 percent of voters said Superstorm Sandy was an important factor in their vote, suggesting that was a positive for President Barack Obama since he was widely considered to have been effective in his response. With the same information, the web site Politico headlined: "Exit Survey: Sandy Not a Factor."
On CBS, Scott Pelley noted that exit polls and early returns in Ohio seemed to be breaking Obama's way. Yet GOP strategist Karl Rove, a Fox analyst, used a white board to indicate county-by-county turnout results looked positive for Republican Mitt Romney.
"Nobody has made more out of more fragmentary returns," Fox's Chris Wallace said.
There was a certain amount of vamping for time. Glenn Beck's online network, The Blaze, had a blackboard straight out of the 1960s as a tote board. Beck killed time on the air by asking for cookie dough ice cream from the on-set food bar.
"Waffle cone, please," Beck said.
When ABC's Diane Sawyer asked David Muir for the latest news from the Romney campaign, he reported the family had pasta for dinner and the candidate indulged in his favorite peanut butter and honey sandwich.
Fox News was most insistent on warning its viewers not to draw too many conclusions from exit polls, yet conversely spent the most time taking direction from them.
Commentator Bill O'Reilly said the Romney campaign had decided to take no chances and ride out its victory in the first debate until election day. That would have worked if it had not been for Sandy, which rendered Romney's campaign invisible for several days because of storm coverage.
If Obama wins, "Sandy is one of the reasons," he said.
The media personality with perhaps the most on the line was Nate Silver of The New York Times, whose FiveThirtyEight blog was sought out by 20 percent of the people who visited the newspaper's website on Monday. He has used statistical data throughout the campaign to predict an Obama victory and by Tuesday, had forecast a 90.9 percent chance that Obama would win.
CNN's Wolf Blitzer was an excitable host, exclaiming "wow" when a close result popped on the screen. John King's computer screen promoted confusion because it painted states red or blue based on incoming votes and not, as is usually the case, after the network had projected the race.
On ABC, Diane Sawyer's relaxed, folksy delivery drew social media attention. The rock group They Might Be Giants tweeted: "and Diane Sawyer declares tonight's winner is … chardonnay!"
Four years after she was CBS' top anchor, talk show host Katie Couric joined ABC to monitor social media reaction.

Exploring the slippery slope of dating unbelievers, plus a challenge to give out of our excess, and a question about marriage between two non-Christians.
Featured musical artist: Tim Neufeld
[29:46] -
Unequally-yoked marriages begin with unequally-yoked dating relationships. So why are so many Christians OK with giving their time, attention and heart to that unsaved boyfriend or girlfriend? Three women — ladies, let's admit we're especially susceptible to this — put their pasts on the table in a frank discussion of the presumptions — and perils — of missionary dating.
[23:47] -
Do you have enough money? Stuff? Modern comforts? If you make $20,000 annually, you're in the top 11 percent richest people in the world. The fact is, most of us have more than we need; we're living with excess. So what does it mean for us to give generously of what we have? Jeff Shinabarger, author of More Or Less, has some challenging (and fun!) ideas.
[6:22] -

7-Mila race began its history in 1964, when the first race was run as a tribute to the district's famous celebrity and Olympic medalist, Assar Rönnlund. 7-mila is a classic cross-country ski race that covers at its longest a distance of 74 km, passes through the beautiful Northern Forest and several villages on its way from Vindeln to Robertfors.
For most of the season Sami, indigenous people of Scandinavia, and reindeer are staying in the area. With a little bit of luck, you might catch a clean sight of the reindeers. Skiers can choose to start from four different locations with a varying race distance (74 km, 40 km, 24 km, 14 km) or set up as a relay team. We have chosen to name our races each slightly different depending on the set up distance. More information about the race details are given in the invitation.
The race goes through three municipalities starting in Vindeln, going through Umeå and ending in Robertsfors. During the competition approximately every five kilometers the athletes are provided with sports drinks and food. The race suits both the professional competitor and the casual skier. The race has a varied terrain and former contestants experienced the race positively as well as challenging. We look forward to your participation. Welcome to Sweden

Leafs forward Lupul suspended two games for illegal check to Tampa's HedmanNHL.com @NHL
TORONTO - The NHL has suspended Toronto Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul for two games following his head to the head of Tampa Bay defenceman Victor Hedman.
The incident occurred 45 seconds into the third period of Toronto's 4-2 win Wednesday night. Lupul received a two-minute minor penalty for an illegal check when he hit Hedman in the head after the defenceman passed the puck in the neutral zone.
It was just Lupul's second game back after missing 25 contests with a broken arm.

Gmail's interface has recently been revamped and streamlined, so the location of various options such as deleting saved contacts have been moved around. After logging into your Gmail account, click the large red "Gmail" button at the upper-left side of the screen, just below the "Google" icon. Select the "Contacts" entry in the list of options. Depending on how you have your account setup or what options you were previously using, the "Gmail" button may instead read "Tasks" or "Contacts."
Each of your contact lists are located directly below the red "New Contact" button at the left side of the window. Click the name of the specific contact list you want to access, such as "My Contacts."
Find the name of the contact you want to remove in the listing at the center of the window. Click the check box to the left of each contact you need to delete.
If you instead want to delete every contact in the currently selected list, click the box icon at the top of the list of names and select the "All" option.
To delete the selected contacts, open the "More" box above the list of contacts and click the "Delete Contact" button.
Anytime you delete a contact, Gmail provides an option to immediately undo the change just in case you selected the wrong option or deleted too many contacts. If you want to restore the contacts you deleted, click the "Undo" button that appears at the top of the screen immediately after choosing "Delete Contact."
In the event you later change your mind or discover you still need a specific contact that was previously deleted, it is possible to restore removed entries later on down the line. Open the "More" box again and scroll down to the "Restore Contacts" option.
Click the radio button for the timeframe you want to use to restore your contacts, such as "10 minutes ago" or "1 Week Ago." If you want to go back even further, click the "Custom" button and type in the number of days to go back. Click the blue "Restore" button to restore any contacts deleted after the selected timeframe.

GM reports lower-than-expected 4Q earnings
GM reports lower-than-expected 4Q earnings
Feb. 06, 2014
DETROIT (AP) — General Motors' fourth-quarter net profit rose 2 percent from a year ago, but the company fell short of Wall Street expectations as it spent heavily to restructure outside the U.S.
GM rode record North American earnings to a profit of $913 million, or 57 cents per share. That compares with $892 million, or 54 cents per share, a year ago. Revenue rose 3 percent to $40.5 billion.
Excluding one-time items, including a $700 million charge to exit the Chevrolet brand in Europe, GM made 67 cents per share. But analysts polled by FactSet expected 88 cents on revenue of $40.8 billion.
New CEO Mary Barra said GM's restructuring actions will strengthen the company for the future. New Chief Financial Officer Chuck Stevens said Wall Street analysts "didn't comprehend that restructuring." Much of the restructuring costs were for employee severance expenses.
For the full year, GM's earnings fell 22 percent to $3.8 billion or $2.38 per share. Without one-time items, including $800 million in impairment charges, it earned $3.18 per share. Before taxes and restructuring costs, the company said it made $8.6 billion for the year, up $700 million from last year.
GM also announced that 48,500 U.S. hourly workers will get up to $7,500 in profit-sharing checks.
Shares fell 4 percent to $33.83 in premarket trading.
In North America, GM made $1.9 billion in the quarter before taxes and a record $7.5 billion pretax for the full year. Stevens said the company's four brands gained market share in retail sales to individual customers, and its transaction prices rose. The company recently has lost pickup truck sales to competitors Ford and Chrysler, which have raised discounts. But Stevens said GM will stick with its approach of selling cars and trucks on value rather than price.
"What we want is profitable growth," he said.
In Europe, the world's second-largest automaker lost $800 million for the full year, but that was less than half of the $1.9 billion it lost in 2012. GM lost $300 million in the struggling region in the fourth quarter, compared with an $800 million loss in 2012.
But outside North America and Europe, GM's results were weaker than a year ago.
GM earned $1.2 billion in its international operations, which include Asia, for the full year, down by more than half from $2.5 billion the prior year. GM's international operations earned $200 million in the fourth quarter, down from $700 million in 2012.
GM's operating profits also fell in South America, where it earned $300 million for the full year, down from $500 million in 2012. Fourth quarter earnings were flat, compared with a $100 million profit in 2012.

Obesity can lead to many feline health problems. If your cat no longer has a proportional figure (it loses its "waist"), check with your veterinarian whether your tabby is too tubby.read more
No one likes fleas. Whether you're a frustrated owner or an itchy cat, those little stinkers can make everyone's lives miserable. While many people rely on, and get good results from, products such as Advantage and Frontline that have dominated the market for years, others are encountering resistance, or are simply wondering what the latest products on the market are.
Here are three of the newest flea-control products for cats:
Assurity is the newest offering from Elanco, the company that also makes Comfortis for dogs. The active ingredient is spinetoram, which kills adult fleas. Like all flea products currently on the market for cats, Assurity is a topical product. This product is only available through veterinarians.
Vectra is a product from Summit VetPharm that contains both dinotefuran and pyriproxyfen. This product kills fleas at all life stages, from egg to adult. It is important to note that Vectra 3D for dogs contains permethrin and should never be used on cats. This product is only available through veterinarians.
Pet Armor is one of several new products that contain fipronil, the active ingredient in Frontline. Since fipronil is now available in generic form, you may see multiple products on the market with the same ingredient. Regular Pet Armor kills adult fleas, while Pet Armor Plus has the added ingredient s-methoprene, which disrupts the egg and larvae life stage as well. Pet Armor is available over the counter.
Remember that no matter what product you choose, if you don't treat the environment, it is going to be very difficult to get a flea infestation under control. Regular vacuuming, steam-cleaning (for rugs and upholstery), and frequent laundering of bedding are also essential to getting rid of pesky fleas.

"come celebrate with me:" The Work of Lucille Clifton features poems, drafts and manuscripts, letters, previously unseen photographs, and other materials — from the first poem she ever wrote in the 1950s to her last in 2010 — from Clifton's archives. Curated by the poet Kevin Young, the materials have been generously loaned to Poets House by the Raymond Danowski Poetry Library at the Manuscripts, Archives, and Rare Book Library at Emory University.
Tour of the Clifton Exhibition with curator Kevin Young - 6:00pm November 19, 2013
A Compendium of Creatures exhibits the portfolio of A Swarm, A Flock, A Host: A Compendium of Creatures, the new collaboration from noted artist Darren Waterston and award-winning poet Mark Doty. The work is a contemporary version of a medieval bestiary, a literary and illustrative form in which a number of known animal species, as well as mythological creatures, are cataloged encyclopedically. Doty's inspired poems take the place of traditional moralizing allegories.

How much dough are Chicago men willing to cough up for their "perfect" woman? Apparently quite a bit.
Recently, WhatsYourPrice.com, the world's largest dating-auction website, surveyed 5,000 males in Chicago trying to find out what defines their "perfect woman." Using four categories, hair color, eye color, vice and education, the site asked the men to estimate how much they would spend on a woman with their ideal qualities in each category. By comparing different dollar amounts, the site determined the most popular perfect qualities.
