Freshers' Fun
So Freshers Week has been and gone, and our classes have now started. Our course seems to be more informative at the moment and looks at the more business side of fashion, which is all fine and dandy but I really want a shot of the print making and sewing. I just want to start making clothes really! Although we are having a gallery visit on Monday in Edinburgh so we have all decided to make a day of it! Also been vicitimised in my Fashion Marketing class and am being made to do a presentation on Tuesday, luckily I have some marketing experience so it shouldn't be too bad........but I'll leave you with a fabulous pic of us at Freshers, clearly enjoying ourselves

Well put, Kali. I'd missed the first blast of this story before it was corrected and that became the story. I'm glad I did, too. Like you, my first thoughts would never have been for my bank balance or my investments, such as they are.
I may not love the man who leads our nation. I may even really dislike the guy for this performance as I've viewed it. I'd never wish anything personally bad upon him or his family though. My first reaction, tamped down hard while I hunted for corroboration and details, would be a gut dropping sick feeling of "no no no ...not this.. ANYTHING but this...'!
I can't imagine a worse thing to have happen to our nation at such a precarious time in it's history than to have a tragedy like Kennedy ...and in this day and age? Oh, so much worse. It would be so VERY much worse ..wouldn't it?
Thank God this did turn out to be nothing but the twisted imaginings of a hacker ...and hopefully, the loss of material wealth some people took in their blatant display of personal priorities will be a cautionary note for all to ponder.

While he is dangerous in the kitchen, Chef Paul can provide some helpful culinary tips. Just keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Discover some quick and easy cooking tips from Chef Paul. If you want a topic covered in "Tricks of the Trade," just ask Chef Paul. Don't worry.... We'll make sure that Chef Paul, not "Chef" Tom, responds!
When making a blackened fish or pepper-crusted fish or steak dish, sear or grill the peppery spice crust over high heat so that the pepper "blackens" or toasts. This softens the heat of the pepper and makes the spice mixture take on a nutty, rich warm flavor.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Chef Paul might describe the flavor as nutty, rich and warm but I guarantee it will be hot, hot and hot!
When you bread a protein or vegetable, coat the product first with seasoned flour. Then dip it into the egg mixture before coating it with breadcrumbs. This process will make the "breading" stick to the protein or vegetable and it will also help create a crispy barrier to seal in the juices of the breaded item.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: It also will add several calories to the dish, but why not live on the wild side?
When you are making a casserole, sauté the vegetables and make the sauce for the dish in the same sauté pan. It will allow you to capture the flavor of all of the ingredients by deglazing them, or dissolving them, from the bottom of the pan.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: When your significant other asks you to wash the casserole pan, allow it to soak for at least an hour before scrubbing!
Clarifying Butter
Clarifying butter is a simple process of purifying butterfat. First, melt butter in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat or in a microwave. This will suspend the curd and whey sediments contained in the butter. Next, skim the curd from the surface. When all the curd is removed, ladle off the melted butter into another container, leaving the milky liquid, the whey, at the bottom of the saucepan. Clarified butter has a higher smoke point, making it less likely to burn when sautéing. It is also used when making roux and sauces.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Do you really want to mess with curds and whey?
When you are going to flambé a dish, always add the liquor after removing the pan from the flame. Place the pan back on the burner, and the liquor will ignite or "flame" in the pan, not in the bottle or on your hand.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Following Chef Paul's advice should free one hand for the fire extinguisher.
Fresh Garlic
When cooking with fresh garlic, try letting it turn golden brown in the pan before adding the other ingredients to the dish. This can be accomplished over medium or high heat, taking about 1 to 1 ½ minutes longer than would be suggested in a recipe. It helps if you stir the garlic so it browns evenly. This softens the "sharpness" of the garlic and creates a nutty flavor and aroma (you can smell it as this happens) that seems to agree with friends and guests.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: If it doesn't agree with your friends and guests, we know who to blame.
Green Vegetables
If you want to serve them later and shorten the cooking time, prepare your green vegetables by cooking them in rapidly boiling water and then cooling them in ice water. The ice water will stop the cooking process so the veggies are just done, "al dente." The vegetables should be bright green and more of the natural nutrients should be captured.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Notice Chef Paul says "should" a lot.
Heavy Cream
Selecting heavy cream for whipping can be a tricky process. Heavy cream tends to be ultra-pasteurized, which makes it whip to a lower volume when the cream still has one month of shelf life. If you want to use heavy cream for icing, buy containers that are ready to expire. You'll get a really thick, fluffy finished product.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Buy some Cool Whip instead.
Lentils are the only legumes (dried beans) that don't need to be soaked in hot water so that they cook properly. Simply simmer the lentils gently (separately if using different varieties) so that they retain their shape and texture. They have a much shorter cooking time than navy beans, black beans, etc.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: This is discriminatory. What about beans from the can?
Mashed Potatoes
Boil the potatoes until they are completely tender. Drain them and allow them to dry in the pot for one minute over the burner they cooked on. The burner should be turned off. This procedure will allow the starch in the potatoes to dry. The potatoes then will be ready to accept hot milk when they are whipped.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Forget the mashed potatoes and make French fries.
Adding small shapes of pasta, like orzo or ditalini, will allow the pasta to cook in the dish, helping to thicken the sauce in the finished dish.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Can't you avoid this step by purchasing thick sauce?
Preserving Scrambled Eggs
Do you need to keep your scrambled eggs warm for a bit before service? Well, to keep the eggs from turning green, just add some citric acid, like orange juice, to the egg mixture before you cook the eggs. I suggest 1/4 cup of juice to 1 dozen eggs. This will work!
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Avoid this situation by eating the eggs immediately.
Prosciutto Ham
Always add prosciutto ham at the end of the cooking process for flavor. This will keep it from absorbing moisture and toughening.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: But what if we like our ham nice and tough?
When using a roux for thickening, cook the roux for about 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, to change the flavor of the flour from raw to toasted; this will make your finished dish less starchy tasting.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Can't you buy a roux?
When working with salmon, remove the salmon skin and any dark flesh from the skin-side salmon. This will help to make the salmon less fishy when it is cooked.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Don't worry about the skin. It will fall off during the cooking process.
When sautéing fish or meat, lay the browned product on a sheet tray and finish cooking it in a 400° oven. If you do this, you won't have to worry about burning the product in the sauté pan, and the product will still quickly cook, sealing in the juices.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Pay Chef Paul to do this for you.
Fresh tuna, salmon and trout have enough "fat" in them to create a pleasant "mouth feel" when they are prepared rare to medium rare. Leaner fish like haddock, sole and orange roughy need to be cooked until they just flake when pressed; undercooking them leaves a raw sensation and an unpleasant taste on the palate.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: There's always Long John Silver's.
Seasoning Chicken
Infuse your roast chicken by loosening the breast skin of the chicken and inserting the seasoning mixture under the skin. This will increase the flavor transfer to the meat and help to keep it moist during cooking.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Based on my own experience, following this "trick" might lead you wife to complain about too much seasoning!
Selecting Liqueur
When selecting a liqueur for cooking, use a real flavored product, for example, apple brandy instead of apple flavored brandy. While apple brandy costs more because it is made from apples, the flavor is concentrated and will not weaken when heated in a dish. Conversely, "flavored" spirits have artificial flavor added that can be destroyed by boiling, flambéing or baking.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: If we don't drink, would apple cider do the trick?
Sour Cream
Always add sour cream to a sauce after the sauce stops boiling so that it doesn't curdle.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Can I use the premature inclusion of sour cream as an excuse for curdling tomato soup?
Storing Herbs & Spices
Store your dried herbs and spices in a cool dark place, away from the cabinets and cupboards directly over your oven. Also, keep the herbs and spices shielded from daylight. Exposure to heat causes the oil in herbs and spices to break down which produces a loss in flavor. Yes, a spice rack is a nice display, but sunlight and ultraviolet light can hurt the taste of what is inside the rack!
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Finally, a good excuse to throw out one of those wedding presents.
Sustaining Apples
Peeling and cutting apples into water to prevent browning is not recommended because you end up with soggy apples. If you know that your recipe uses lemon or sugar, putting either product onto the apples will do a better job of keeping them from browning. And you won't have to worry about watering down their flavor!
"Chef" Tom's Thought: With a little sugar, those apples will taste a lot better too!
Thawing Meats & Poultry
Thaw meats and poultry gradually in your refrigerator. Letting them sit on the kitchen counter all day can create an environment for bacterial growth!
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Hey, even I knew that one!
Vanilla Bean
When you purchase a fresh vanilla bean, store it in a jar of granulated sugar. You will make vanilla sugar that can be used in a variety of dishes! When you use a vanilla bean in a liquid, split the bean lengthwise. This releases more of the scent of the bean. The center brown "seeds" of the bean also can be scraped out and added to the dish after you are finished cooking.
"Chef" Tom's Thought: Who purchases vanilla beans?

Whittier City Directories 1903 and 1911: Two of the earliest Whittier City Directories have been digitized and are keyword searchable here. City directories are useful in finding out the span of years that relatives lived in Whittier, as well as finding their address for additional avenues of search.Whittier Digital Newspaper Collection: This collection is helpful in finding information on relatives living in and around Whittier from 1888 to 1956. Search a relative's name with quotation marks around it for fewer irrelevant results, and try variations on relatives' names, such as "Harriet Russell Strong," "Mrs. Charles Strong," "Hattie Strong," "Harriet R. Strong," etc. You can also search for a relative by their address. The directional indicator (north, south, east, or west) of pre-1966 addresses is important – for instance, at one time there were two 102 Greenleaf Avenues, one North and one South. Search with quotation marks around the search term, and try searching once with the direction abbreviated, and again with the direction spelled out. For example, "102 N. Greenleaf" as well as "102 North Greenleaf".Whittier Historical Photograph Collection: The library's collection of Historical Photographs includes many photographs of early Whittier pioneers. You may search using the same strategy as above, or browse folders People, Businesses, Organizations, and Residences, to hunt for a familiar face. The Shades of Whittier Collection, created with photos lent to the library by Whittier-area residents and digitized, includes many family photos.
Whittier City Directories: The library's collection of Whittier City Directories spans 1903 to 1977 and is organized alphabetically by occupant. Starting in the edition of 1920-1921, the books include a reverse address feature in which addresses are organized by street as well. These are stored in the Whittier History Room and are for library use only.Whittier-area Telephone Directories: The library's collection of early Whittier-area phone directories spans 1904-1948. These are titled Whittier Home Telephone and Telegraph Company from 1904-1935, and Consolidated Telephone Company: Whittier, La Habra, Rivera, Pico from 1939-1948. These directories are slimmer than the city directories, as they only include people who owned telephones. They contain less information about occupants, but in many cases cover a wider geographic range. Cities, townships and neighborhoods covered include East Whittier, South Whittier, North Whittier, La Habra, Santa Fe Springs, Los Nietos, Potrero Heights, Rincon, Rivera, Montebello, & Pico. These are stored in the Whittier History Room and are for library use only. Downey-area Telephone Directories: The library's collection of early Downey-area phone directories spans 1905-1942. These are titled Downey Home Telephone and Telegraph Company from 1905-1939, and Consolidated Telephone Company: Whittier, La Habra, Rivera, Pico from 1940-1942. These directories are slimmer than the city directories, as they only include people who owned telephones. They contain less information about occupants, but in many cases cover a wider geographic range. Cities, townships and neighborhoods covered include Artesia, Bellflower, Norwalk, Rivera, Laguna, Workman, Buena Park, Cypress, Los Alamitos, Hynes, Clearwater, Little Lake, Studebaker, & Bell Gardens. These are stored in the Whittier History Room and are for library use only.Haines Criss-Cross Directories: The library's collection of these directories, which list names, addresses and phone numbers of home occupants, spans 1972 to the present. 1972 to 1986 cover 35-37 cities and county areas in East Suburban Los Angeles. 1986 to present cover 20-24 cities and county areas in East San Gabriel Valley. The information inside is organized both by name and by address (hence "Criss-Cross"). These are stored in the Whittier History Room and are for library use only. Whittier Area Phone Books: The library's collection of Whittier-area phone books - the thick, paperback volumes sent to homes that include yellow pages and white pages - spans 1968 to 2015. Like the Haines Criss-Cross Directories, these extend beyond the city limits, covering nearby towns and county areas. These are stored in the Whittier History Room and are for library use only.Vital Records Index: Whittier, CA Newspapers, Vol. I 1888-1930 & Vol. II 1931-1957: These two volumes are indexes of adoptions, births, marriages, deaths and divorces, abstracted by members of the Whittier Area Genealogical Society with the cooperation of the Whittier Historical Society. Volume I, published April 1996 and covering 1888-1930, contains over 11,000 names. Volume II, published 2003 and covering 1931-1957, contains 33,800 names. These are stored in the Whittier History Room and are for library use only.Whittier Daily News Card Catalog Index: This card catalog consists of 9 linear feet of cards on which articles of local interest from the Whittier Daily News were indexed by subject, spanning the late 1970s into the 2000s. These include obituaries of notable local residents. This resource is particularly valuable, as newspapers from 1956 onward have not yet been digitized, and are available only on microfilm. This card catalog is located in the Adult Reference section of the Central library in Uptown Whittier, and is for library use only.Whittier-Area Newspapers: The library's collection of Whittier-area newspapers on microfilm spans 1888 to the present and includes the following eight titles: Whittier Graphic, Whittier Register, Whittier News (Weekly), Whittier News (Daily), Whittier Daily News, Whittier District News, East Whittier Review, and East Whittier Star Review. These are most useful to the researcher who has a specific date, or relatively narrow range of dates, in mind. For a complete list of the date ranges of each title, as well as the availability of all Whittier-area newspapers - including those held by the Whittier Museum and Whittier College - please see the chart on the Local Newspaper page of this website. To view microfilm, see a Reference librarian at the Central library.Rose Hills Memorial Park Listings for "Interm" Sections 1301 and 1401: This index, extracted by Nancy Giles of the Whittier Historical Society in 1989, lists alphabetically the name, age, gender, death date, burial date, cause of death, and doctor of people buried in two certain sections of Rose Hills Cemetery in Whittier. The burial date is often distinct from the death date in these lists, as many of the people in these sections of Rose Hills were re-interred in the 1920s, prior to the planned closing of Broadway and Mount Olive cemeteries. (Those two cemeteries now comprise Founders Memorial Park, at 12199 Broadway in Whittier.) Special thanks to the Whittier Area Genealogical Society for allowing the library to copy this material. This is stored in the Whittier History Room and is for library use only.Tombstone Inscriptions, Broadway Cemetery and Mount Olive Cemetery: Published by the Orange County Genealogical Society in 1980 and 1984, respectively, these two volumes consist of an alphabetically-arranged list of the name, age, year of death, block, lot, and grave number of those buried in Broadway (formerly Clark) Cemetery, and Mount Olive Cemetery. Broadway Cemetery contained 926 burials, 68% of them prior to 1910. At Mount Olive Cemetery, 365 burials took place between 1888 and 1957, with the majority spanning 1900 to 1937. The information in these volumes was collected by Mary Van Manen, Elaine Thomson Davis, and Madelyn Schweizer Krug. Special thanks to the Whittier Area Genealogical Society for allowing the library to copy this material. These are stored in the Whittier History Room and are for library use only.Olive Grove Cemetery: A Survey: This index, extracted by Bonnie J. Sell of La Mirada in 1994, lists the names and dates inscribed on individual tombstones in the Olive Grove Cemetery. This list of tombstone inscriptions is supplemented with information gleaned from original cemetery map information in church files, as well as the book New River District by Lowell H. Beachler (1985). The Mount Olive Cemetery, still in existence as of 2016 and located at 10135 South Painter Avenue in Santa Fe Springs, was established along with a church by a denomination known as Old German Baptist Brethren, or Dunkards. They came to the Whittier area in 1889 and in 1896 purchased 3.5 acres of an open barley field for $450. The Church they built was known as the New River Meeting House and the cemetery as the Olive Grove Cemetery. This resource includes a map of graves as well as an alphabetical index. Special thanks to the Whittier Area Genealogical Society for allowing the library to copy this material. It is stored in the Whittier History Room and is for library use only.Whittier-Area School Yearbooks: The library's collection of yearbooks includes the following schools and year-spans. These are stored in the Whittier History Room, and are available by appointment only.

October 2nd 2014, in Lubbock, Texas where he was appearing in concert, Maria Elena, on behalf of The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation, presented Paul with two "That'll Be The Day" guitars, replicas of Buddy's J45 on which he wrote many of his classic songs.
Paul graciously signed one of the guitars, which The Buddy Holly Educational Foundation has loaned to The Buddy Holly Centre, Lubbock.
Accompanying the guitar will be the certificate in this photograph,which was jointly signed by Sir Paul and Maria Elena.
It is now on permanent display, together with a certificate celebrating the presentation signed by Maria Elena and Paul.
Paul retained the other "That'll Be The Day" guitar for his own personal use, and it includes installed behind the sound-hole, an original fret from Buddy's own Gibson J45, [one of only 18 which were acquired when Buddy's guitar was re-fretted in the 1970's]
A further 17 International Ambassador/artists of TBHEF have been presented with similar Buddy/Cricket titled guitars, and each instrument includes one of the other original frets. Details of these artists can be found on www.tbhef.org
Hopefully Paul's "That'll Be The Day" guitar may even appear unexpectedly on occasion, when the great man is performing in concert.
"That'll Be The Day" was recorded as a demonstration by The Quarrymen [Paul, John, George] on 14th April 1958,only 16 months after The Crickets had recorded the song that shook the world, Buddy and JI's million selling masterpiece!
That rare iconic shellac pre-Beatles recording is owned by Paul.
Like Maria Elena, Paul remains a passionate and wonderful supporter of Buddy's music legacy, and together they continue to dedicate time and effort in ensuring the integrity of that legacy is protected and enjoyed.
Buddy Holly fans everywhere thank them for their years of personal commitment.
Maria Elena and Peter Jnr hold the foundations "That'll Be The Day" guitar and the TBHEF certificate which Paul McCartney kindly signed and dated and will be exhibited for life in the Buddy Holly centre in Lubbock Texas from 2015.

Everything you need to know about Justin Bieber's Egg-gate
This morning, just as he was probably getting his daily injection of skin revitalizing swagu, 11 police cars raided Justin Bieber's Calfornia mansion.
Their target: Beiber's eggs.
The resulting maelstrom of pun-related tweets is likely what brought you here. So to better understand what your Twitter feed (or grandchildren) are yoking it up about, here is everything you need to know about Justin Bieber's Egg-gate:
It all began last Friday when our precocious troublemaker and his merry band of yes-men egged a neighbour's house. (Kids these days, amiright?)
Here's a video of the incident:
Then nothing happened because, like, whatever. But this morning, a full four days later, someone at the Los Angeles Police Department woke up on the wrong side of the bed and sent not 1, not 2, not 3, not 9, not 10 but 11 cars with a felony search warrant to the Bieber household because in L.A. they take egging seriously. Super seriously. They care.
And the internet was like:
Then it realized: Bieber + eggs = easy jokes!
Figuring they were quickly becoming a public laughing stock, the LAPD actually put on a press conference. The questions for which were awesome.
According to police, the Biebs allegedly did $20,000 worth of damage because his eggs are made of steel. And here's the thing: If the officers happen to find drugs during their raid, it's fair game. And guess who reportedly had some cocaine out at 8:30 am? That's right: Bieber pal Lil Za! NEWS!!!
But back to Justin. Turns out he hasn't been arrested or charged with anything.
See, the LAPD were totally justified for sending 11 cop cars and ruining your Twitter feed.

Monaco Grand Prix Qualifying – AT&T Williams
Pastor Maldonado and Rubens Barrichello demonstrated their command of the streets of Monte Carlo this afternoon to deliver AT&T Williams' strongest qualifying performance of the season so far. Pastor cleared Qs one and two with ease to lead the team into Q3 for the second race in succession. With a fastest lap of 1:16.528, Pastor will line up in ninth position on the grid. Traffic compromised Rubens' efforts to set a fully competitive lap time in the closing stages of Q2. Excluded from a place in the top ten by less than three tenths, Rubens will start his 19th Monaco Grand Prix in P12.
Sam Michael, Technical Director:
Obviously our first thoughts are with Sergio Perez and the whole team wishes him a quick recovery. Pastor did well to qualify in the top ten again today. Two races in a row shows strong progress. Monaco requires a car with good mechanical balance, maximum downforce and plenty of concentration from the drivers. We have work to do but we're heading in that direction.
Pastor Maldonado:
I'm happy! We were consistent in Q1 and Q2 and I made it into Q3. It was very tight at the end of the session because of the red flag; we had just over two minutes to do our lap, so I'm pleased with ninth. We've been competitive throughout the weekend and we squeezed 100% out of our package again today. Our pace is strong and I will do my best to get us into the points tomorrow. I hope Sergio is ok and wish him well.
Rubens Barrichello:
The car felt ok but it seemed quicker on older tyres. When I went onto new tyres I didn't get the grip I was expecting. That was the difference today and I'm a few tenths behind. It was strange and we need to understand why that was the case. I need the car to stick to the ground as much as possible. That is what I am looking for. Strategies are going to play a big part tomorrow. We all hope Sergio is ok.

Day 234: Mossy Temple, originally uploaded by susanvg.
This moss covered temple sits on my patio. The very damp summer has provided a thick covering, like a fancy hat. When I moved into my house over two decades ago, the temple greeted me. The former owner had created a very zen space. I admit to not spending a lot of time sitting out back. Somehow, there are always things to do, the wasps are whizzing around or the weather is not conducive. But I enjoy looking out as I eat my meals.
The local squirrels enjoy perching on this temple to eat the horse chestnuts they snatch from my neighbour's tree. They leave the dropped shells as offerings to the temple gods.

i moved our website from a load balanced environment (1) to a single server (2).
In (1) i reached the Umbraco backend via www1.ourdomain.com/umbraco, in (2) i use www.ourdomain.com/umbraco.
Problem: some of the (generated) paths in the CSS file still point to http://www1.ourdomain.com which leads to missing images in the backend. How can i get rid of the old domain? Is there a misconfiguration or some cache to be emptied?
not sure what you mean by generated paths in the css, though they can only be added manually by tying them into css. If someone has entered the images with fully qualified path eg http://www1.ourdomain.com/images/myimage.jpg then just take out the domain so url becomes /images/myimage.jpg ?
Hi Matthias, which version of Umbraco are you using? If it is v4.5, could it be a ClientDependency caching issue?
If its v4.0.x - as Ismail says, try manually removing the domains?
Cheers, Lee.
sorry for the missing details.
I use v4.5. When i open the CSS file on the server, e.g. \umbraco\css\umbracoGui.css, the path looks like this: background-image: url('../images/tray/traySprites.png'); When i check the CSS in the browser (via developer tools) the path is converted to: background-image: url('http://www1.ourdomain.com/images/tray/traySprites.png');
There are no hardcoded paths/links.
Try deleting the files from the "\App_Data\ClientDependency" directory. Something might be cached in there?
Have you tried different web-browsers and machines? Just to rule out that it's not a caching issue.
Cheers, Lee.
I deleted all files from the "\App_Data\ClientDependency" directory - without success. Yes, i tried different browsers.
How frustrating! :-|
Not sure what else to suggest. If there is no reference to the "www1" subdomain, then it shouldn't be using it - which means that it must be being referenced somewhere, right?
When you view the CSS directly in your browser, does it have the old domain paths? http://www.ourdomain.com/umbraco/css/umbracoGui.css
It's not IIS doing some redirect on static files? (That's a long shot!)
- Lee
Hi Lee, didn't find a hint or solution, yet.
Just re-registered the www1 hostheader in iis to be able to work again.
Hello guys,
Sorry to post in an old topic but I'm having a similar problem.
I've copied my Umbraco from my http://localhost:3388 to http://domain/InstallationName/ and the CSS fails.
I have the developer toolbar (Firefox) installed, and when I check my CSS files from there (even after CTRL+F5 and deleting ClientDependency folders) they contain weird html code. Small sample below.
Anyone got a clue as how come this is happening? Im guessing it has something to do with the fact the installation is now at "/somefolder" instead of the root domain?
edit: Stupid me! Now I see the problem? Umbraco thinks all the CSS is located at domain.org/css but in fact it's domain.org/SomeFolder/css.
Can't I fix this?

Easter Egg Hunt Ideas
It's that time of year again. Time for
Easter egg hunts! Scouting for brightly
colored eggs filled with jellybeans is
fun, but did you know it can also be
educational? Children of all ages can
learn important skills from participating
in an egg hunt. Whether you're planning
to go to an egg hunt hosted by your
community center or church, or you're
hosting your own, check out these
creative ideas to keep your child's body
and mind healthy and active!
While some of the ideas work better for
toddlers or preschoolers, all children can
learn healthy competition from
participating in an Easter egg hunt.
Before your children participate in an
egg hunt, remind them to be kind and
respectful to other children participating.
Teach your children to be competitive
without being mean. Remind children that collecting the most eggs is not the point of the
activity. Having fun is!
Easter egg hunts for toddlers.
Toddlers can learn colors. Before letting your toddler loose to find as many plastic eggs as
possible, tell your toddler only to collect a specific color of egg. This will help your toddler
distinguish between different colors and make the game more challenging!
Toddlers can learn shapes. If you're creating your own egg hunt, fill plastic eggs with
differently shaped objects. After the eggs are all found, reward your child for naming each of the
shapes in his or her eggs.
Easter egg hunts for preschoolers.
Preschoolers can learn numbers. If you're creating your own egg hunt, use a permanent
marker to number the plastic eggs before hiding them. Challenge your children to find the eggs
in order from 1 to 20, or 1 to 100 if you're that ambitious!
Preschoolers can learn words. Fill plastic eggs with pieces of paper with words your child is
learning to recognize. After the eggs are all found, reward your child for being able to read all
the words in his or her eggs.
Preschoolers can learn teamwork. Fill plastic eggs with puzzle pieces. After all the eggs are
collected, have the children work together to build the puzzle. Reward children for their team
Infants spend the majority of their day sleeping which means it is important that parents provide the safest possible sleeping environment. The team at Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of East Cobb offers several infant care tips to keep your infant safe while sleeping.
Sleeping infants should only be on their backs
The most important thing a parent can do is place a baby on his or her back for sleeping. This should be followed strictly during an infant's first year. "Stomach sleeping" is dangerous since it allows the potential of rebreathing old air from pockets in the mattress that can be pulled up, covering the mouth and nose. Inhaling the carbon dioxide trapped in the bedding can be both dangerous and life-threatening.
How to ensure a child's crib or sleeping surface is safe
A second important thing to remember for safe sleeping is to provide adequate bedding and a firm sleeping surface. Always use a child-approved mattress covered by a fitted sheet that is less likely to come loose during the night. There should be no other bedding, cushions, pillows, or stuffed toys in the crib when your baby goes to bed.
The child care team at Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of East Cobb in Marietta is proud to offer advanced infant care services. Contact us today for more information regarding our acclaimed programs and modern, child-friendly facilities. Enroll your child with our specialized training to experience peak brain development.Show Less
Most preschool numerical activities involve counting, since children at this age are not able to grasp higher mathematical concepts. There are many numerical activities and games available which can be used to help your preschooler learn to count and begin to understand numbers.
The number tunnel game
This is a simple game that can help your young child learn about numbers. Take a long piece of cardboard, and cut out some doors along one side. Vary the shape of the doors but ensure that a small ball can fit through each one. Above each space, draw a number. Then, you can prop up this cardboard frame in a hallway or other clear area. You and your child can sit on opposite sides or on the same side and roll the ball through one of the numbered spaces. Once your child becomes comfortable, you can ask your child to roll the ball through a specific numbered door.
Connect the dots
Connect the dots is an activity that can aid your child in recognizing and identifying numbers, and it can help develop fine motor skills. Since most preschoolers can count up to ten, but only comprehend numbers up to five, use five numbers to create the activity. Make a shape, for example a star, using dots and give each dot a numerical value. Show your child how to connect the dots using a marker, and count the numbers as each dot is connected.
Get creative with a number mat
Using a similar concept as connect the dots, this activity also helps your child focus on recognizing numbers. Place a number mat on the floor and have your child stack numbered blocks matching the number on the block with the number on the mat.

The nine month period of a pregnancy is far more rewarding than the process indicates because of the prenatal development taking place. Join us at Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of East Cobb/Post Oak Tritt as we discuss the various stages of prenatal brain development and how your 'internal care' allows your child to grow into a functioning infant.
From week nine
During the growth period of the second trimester, the first stage of actual brain development begins. There is not as much brain development as one would see in childcare and preschool learning environments. It is during this time that your child will start developing behavioral habits and will react to movement and light intensities.
The final trimester
During the final trimester of the fetal stage your child's brain will be growing at a rapid pace. Some evidence exists that the child will try to cover his or her eyes if a strong light is shown on the mother's abdomen. During this stage of brain development the cerebral cortex grows bigger. Many doctors can even begin to see personalities develop. Your child will spend more time awake during this final trimester and he or she will start practicing common functions and activities such as breathing.
Your child's prenatal months are vital for early brain development. After pregnancy, however, you certainly will want to maintain this positive progression by enrolling him or her in a top quality educational preschool like Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of East Cobb/Post Oak Tritt in Marietta. We offer specialized child care services that are far superior to other environments, while encouraging the child to grow into the champion he or she is destined to be.

Technology continues to develop rapidly on a global level, which means that these advancements can provide an advantage in teaching your preschooler.

Parents are an infant's first – and most important - connection to the world. Infancy is a time of rapid brain development and through your bond with your child you become their first teacher during this critical time. Here are a few things your child will learn from you:
- Trust: When your child fusses or cries, respond immediately to them in a positive manner, soothing them and offering exactly what they need, whether it is food, warmth, a diaper change or physical contact. This positive response teaches your child to trust you, rely on you and seek you out when they need something. This essential socio-emotional development results in a secure, confident and balanced child who is open to trust and strives for healthy relationships with others.
- Play: Playing is pivotal to early learning, helping your child to develop cognitive, physical, socio-emotional and language skills. You are teaching your infant to play when you move them around, introduce them to toys, make funny faces and tickle their tummy. Your child thrives on this positive interaction and your praise when they learn something new. This will make playtime an even more valuable learning experience.
- Verbal skills: Long before your child can speak, they are learning language skills. Research by the University of Washington's Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences has shown that parents who spend plenty of time using "baby talk" to communicate with their child play an important role in maximizing this learning process. A child who is exposed to an abundance of one-on-one child talk recognized more than double the amount of words, 433 to be exact, than a child whose parents did not engage in child talk.
As a parent, there is a lot you can do to enhance your child's early development, whether it be attending stimulating infant-oriented events like the Barnes and Noble story time sessions or by choosing an exceptional early learning center.
At Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of East Cobb / Post Oak Tritt, we go beyond what is offered by a traditional day care. Our state-of-the-art learning academy is nationally and state accredited, and offers the exclusive Brain Waves Curriculum to children between six weeks of age and five years old. This program ensures that your child receives the right targeted mental stimulation at the right time to ensure optimal brain development. Our dedicated staff strives to create a loving, trusting bond with each child in our care, helping your child to get the most out of each learning experience while receiving plenty of attention, love and support.

At the Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of East Cobb in Marietta, Georgia we offer the exclusive Brain Waves Curriculum, which promotes early childhood development from preschool through the first five years of a child's life. It provides a stimulating and interesting learning approach, which encourages your child to learn through play. These lessons and activities are designed to enhance language, social-emotional, cognitive and physical development. Our experienced and qualified teachers use a hands-on approach. They will work closely with your child to ensure he or she is progressing, with the opportunity to develop, grow and learn.
Ideas to introduce some preschool activities at home
During the various stages of childhood development, parents and teachers can stimulate and improve upon the potential for sound development for a child. Not every pre-school or daycare in East Cobb County offers a curriculum that promotes healthy development at every stage, but at Kids 'R' Kids this is our educational emphasis.
Within the home environment, we suggest you provide opportunities for your child to try certain things on their own. Opportunities for stacking rings or placing blocks on top of each other are good, however both activities require concentration and planning.
In East Cobb there are numerous venues where you can take your child for family playtime, and where the development of fine motor skills is encouraged and promoted while also having fun. Visiting Monkey Joes or Catch Air can maximize play time with your child!
You will discover that we have the ideal learning environment for your child's early childhood development with our great pre-school brain development Curriculum at Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy of East Cobb. We encourage you to take the time to find out more about what our Brain Waves Curriculum can offer and meet our experienced staff members.

The Challenge
Describe the situation, challenge or problem you or your team faced.
This client based in Halifax was facing enormous challenges trying to keep their infrastructure system up and running. I found out about their issues when I visit their CEO at his cottage and he couldn't even connected remotely to his own email/shared folders. They had 1 x server (SBS 2003) and 2 x server (win 2003) that were totally unbalanced. The SBS server had almost 1 Terabytes of data on it without having any functional backup. Their hard drives were almost full 95% used. However, another server had only 5% used. They did not have any maintenance contract with any IT firm, only Time & Material. Also, everyone had the domain administrator password handy in case they were having issues.
The Solution
Describe how your solution helped overcome the challenge. Tell us about the innovative ways you used technology to create this solution.
What obstacles or roadblocks were overcome? Is the solution reusable elsewhere? Be specific!
We sat down and presented a full scale solution by running SBS 2008 and Hyper-V combined with OCS technologies. Their servers count went from 3 to 6 physicals and 2 virtuals. We even throw on top DPM and SharePoint solutions for keeping documents in one location and secured. I have also added a Blackberry server with OCS functionality on their desktops/notebooks and on their Blackberries as well. I have also removed the Symantec Anti-Virus that wasn't updated anymore for the total Forefront solution (Servers, Clients, SharePoint, OCS and Exchange).
The Results

Some hair waxing tips for men include relaxing during the waxing procedure and pressing down on the skin immediately after removing the hair. Both of these steps reduce pain and redness associated with waxing.Continue Reading
Following a wax, it is a good idea to avoid exposing the waxed skin to direct sunlight, chlorinated water or sea water for at least 12 hours to give the skin time to heal. During bathing, exfoliate the waxed area with a gentle loofah to keep hair from becoming ingrown. If the waxed area is particularly red or irritated, apply Vitamin E cream to help soothe it.Learn more about Hair Removal

There are 62 million women of childbearing age in the United States, 43 million of whom are "at risk" for unintended pregnancy. This costs us a minimum of $12 billion dollars a year, and that doesn't include long-term costs. "At risk" implies an uncontrollable danger. An unavoidable event that happens to a person by accident or as the result of poor decisions. This situation is neither. We persistently withhold valuable information and technologies regarding fertility and its management. Usually, individuals and societies try to reduce risks, especially those that are recognizable and preventable. But, not us. Not this one. We'd still rather tiresomely entertain Scarlet Letter sanctimony and give mainstream voice to ill-informed, nostalgic conservative malaise than enable teenage girls and adult women to manage their own reproduction. ANYTHING but that. Actually, I take that back. The only other thing we are possibly equally loathe to do is invest seriously in developing long-acting forms of male hormonal contraception, opting instead to continue relying on the updated version of 12,000 year old sheepskin. Deliberately fettering sperm for more than 30 seconds? Can't be done. This from a country that put human beings on the moon and can fit the entire contents of the LIbrary of Congress on a nanochip. Male hegemony is nothing if not selectively innovative.
Women manage their fertility for an average of 30 years. Despite the fact that we just had a national referendum on this issue, we seem willing to forget that even talking about birth control in the ways that we did this year was surreal.
Preventable, unplanned, very often unwanted and unmanageable pregnancies pervasively affect us all. The consequences are personal, societal, economic and fiscal. And I'm not only thinking about the "motherhood penalty," direct medical costs or calculable expenses related to having children. There are clear linkages to increases in other social ills: like crime, lower education levels, higher incidences of domestic abuse, increased pressure on the welfare system and more. Children who result from unplanned pregnancies are far likelier to experience developmental problems, poorer physical and mental health, to struggle in school. These steep costs exponentially exceed the cost of society's providing easy, affordable access to birth control.
Here are 50 facts detailing those costs in case you are interested. I've been, for some unexplicable reason, on a 50 facts binge. If you think unplanned pregnancies are unrelated to issues like rape and domestic violence (the other 50 facts), I beg to differ. They are often interrelated and co-incidental, which only more dramatically highlights this fact: Failing to educate and make safe medical technologies available to our population when we need and want them is the effective gender-biased control of fertility. If it doesn't strike you as ridiculous that any boy or man (none of whom can actually get pregnant) can regulate his fertility with no interference by buying a $1.34 condom and girls and women must continue to deal with overt societal regulation, including but not limited to the unnecessary intervention of doctors, nurses and pharmacists, in order to do the same commensurate with their biological needs, then I don't know what would.
The most obvious and urgent issue is the fact that emergency contraception, Plan B, is not available without a prescription to girls under the age of 17 (and even then they are being misinformed by many pharmacists.) The longer term issue is why American women are not using long-acting forms of reversible contraception.
It's been almost exactly a year since, in an unprecedented move, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, in an act of what some called scientifically unethical "national malpractice," overruled a Food and Drug Administration recommendation and restricted access to emergency contraception long known to be safe and effective for all females of childbearing age. This was roundly condemned by reproductive health care advocates as a political act, contrary to good public policy, sound scientific reasoning and bad for women and their health.
"Emergency contraception needs to be on the pharmacy shelf between condoms and pregnancy test kits, available to women and couples without delay or hassle," explains Kirsten Moore president and CEO of Reproductive Health Technologies Project, which has led a coalition advocating for this very action for more than 10 years. "Doctors are leading the way saying that all contraception should move over the counter and be available to women of all ages. Politicians need to follow doctors' lead and get the politics out of women's health care once and for all."
Many people still do not understand how Plan B works. Plan B is safer than Tylenol, as easy to use and understand, and is not an "abortion pill." The irony is not lost. Using birth control is pretty much the only known, predictable, reliable method of safely reducing abortions. When it's free, it reduces the incidence of abortion by more than half.
But, beyond Plan B. Last week the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) endorsed over-the-counter birth control pills (OTC).
Allow yourselves to dream for a minute, ladies: Imagine not having to pay, with your money or time, for doctors visits to get prescriptions. Waiting for or dealing with a pharmacist, who may or may not have religious or other objections to your private decisions. Imagine being able to walk into a store and buy months worth of your contraception of choice by picking it up on a shelf and taking it to the cash register where some nice person smiles, takes your money, gives you change and puts your cute (or garish) little box in a bag before you leave.
And, men, daydream for them. There are some serious upsides that accrue for guys who are, as Sarah Silverman says, bro-choice. Not to mention just basic fairness. Unlike for your girlfriends, wives, sisters, mothers and female friends, most people, doctors and those with regulatory and medical authority over these decisions, understand through experience how your John Thomas' work and all that that implies in reproduction. After all, almost 75 percent of doctors and more than 80 percent of legislators have them. Some make no bones, no pun intended, about lacking empathy with women's reproductive needs. Reverse those numbers and imagine what its like. And, really, your boxes are so easy to get and even have the advantage of being thematically organized for maximal pleasure. Heck, you can even customize them.
USA Today ran pro-OTC and anti-OTC pieces. I found it super interesting that the pro-OTC piece was written by, well, an actual doctor, Dr. James T. Breeden, who happens to not only be an OBG, but the president of ACOG. The anti-OTC was written by the editorial board of the paper, otherwise known as AGCU (Amateur Gynecological Club of USAToday). Among their objections they listed "medical risks. The AGOG has weighed those and come down firmly on their being minimal and far exceeded by the benefits of deregulating the pill. In addition, there was the concern that women will forgo going to the doctor if they don't need to get birth control pills. I have no idea why this is relevant. Women aren't children who need ovary-based prompts to care for themselves. Lots of men need to get to the doctor as well and no one is withholding contraception involving their bodies. On the contrary. Just type "Free Viagra" into your browser. Then try "free birth control."
Personally, given the fact that for the first time ever we have a health care law that requires FDA-approved contraceptives to be available without copays for women, I am deeply cynical about the timing of the announcement. I mean, here we are making birth control pills "free" for women for the very first time and all of a sudden we're talking about moving them OTC where women will have to pay for them again? And where there is the risk, due to costs, that they will use them even less?
Birth control is even more reliable and effective if it is available at no cost. A landmark study released in October, involving more than 9,000 women, revealed the totally unsurprising effects of providing free birth control: far fewer unwanted pregnancies and "dramatic reductions" in abortions. This study's findings are echoed in the terrific fact that our teen pregnancy and abortion rates, while still ridiculously high, have been going down. You would think that these findings would make even the hoariest God-fearing patriarchs giddy. But, GFPs actually believe researchers, like voting machines, are colluding with sex-crazed, irresponsible, lying harlots in order to dupe good Christian men and take away their magical powers. This is happening not because girls are opting to wait to have sex in exchange for the traditional "protections" of marriage, because they are using both hormonal and other forms of long-acting birth control more effectively. Fully 46 percent of teenagers are having sex. Scary numbers of them using no birth control, including condoms. During the heyday of federal spending on abstinence-only "sex ed" during which we committed up to $170 million a year (ironically, federal spending under a Republican administration), the unwanted birth rate for girls and women 15-24 doubled. Providing a range of birth control options isn't going to help if if people don't know how to use them properly. Although all states are involved in providing sex ed to kids, only 18 require that information be medically accurate. Our teenagers need respect and honesty and have a right to factual information about their health and access to ways to manage it.
The last part of reducing unplanned pregnancies is promoting the use of Long Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC), which is far more successful than the most commonly used form -- birth control pills. Studies consistently show that the rate of failure of LARC methods is much lower. "The contraceptive failure rate among participants using pills, patch, or ring was 4.55 per 100 participant-years, as compared with 0.27 among participants using long-acting reversible contraception." Consider this Contraceptive Choice Project video:
Aside from those who use deliberate breeding a as a weapon or those who chose feel it is their God-given place to protect women from themselves through legislation, most people understand why family planning and birth control are critically important parts of modern life and successful modern economies. Conservative legislators, chose to ignore that American innovation, creativity and dynamism might include women, their bodies and their full participation in the economy. They continue to pursue a systematic, state-by-state focus on reducing women's reproductive health options and high on their list is removing family planning options. (Michigan is currently in a race to the Dark Ages with Mississippi.) This while simultaneously arguing that our declining birth rates are unpatriotic and hurting our economy. To quote Katha Politt, "Oh, honestly. What nonsense." Birth rates in industrialized nations decline not because women are using birth control in bubble-headed, traitorous fashion, but because birth rates decline when women and families cannot find economic and workplace support for their lives, lives which include children. Consider the difference between France, Sweden and Italy.
We saw this past year exactly how fractious the debate over birth control in this country still is. A lot of conservative language focused on slutty entitlement. We really need to redefine the word "entitlement" for policy purposes. You know what the entitlement is: being a white Christian man with power, not in possession of a human uterus, historically blithely unconcerned with "women's issues," like babies, who benefits from laws that immortalize those those three facts. That is the entitlement. Not equitable and appropriate access to birth control for women as part of their non-penis-possessing health care. That pillow on my desk is wearing thin.
At the moment, however, the Reproductive Health Technologies Project has started a petition to urge Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to get us on the right track today and put women's interests back into the women's health equation. It seems to be a good way to let her know how you feel about this issue. Otherwise, you might want to add these cycle beads to your wish list for the holidays.

In this, the next installment in our series on iMovie '11, we're going to take a look at adding assets to your iMovie projects. What do I mean by assets? Well, in truth, the video clips themselves could be considered assets. But we've already gone over how to add those to a project, and even how to splice them together to start to form a movie. What I call assets are anything you add to a movie that isn't a video clip. I'm talking about images, audio, titles, transitions. All of those things that can help flesh out what would otherwise be just home movie footage into a work of film.
Ok, so maybe your plans aren't quite that grandiose. But I think you get the idea. So, sit back and watch as I show you how to add these things in iMovie, and how they can take your next project to the next level.

Bundled with every new Mac is the iLife suite of apps. iLife promises an exciting and fulfilling digital experience, one that integrates your Mac into your day-to-day life. But having the program is only half the battle – the hardest part is knowing how to use it!
Today's screencast overview will walk you through using iMovie for the first time, how to create your first project, and how to import in your video. Let's get started!
Browsing around online and trying to figure out which app to buy can be difficult. So many developers offer app demos and they provide a cool glimpse into the workings of the app. This is great for customers and developers alike.
If you are a developer you probably would love a way to showcase your app online. Online demos are the wave of the future and that is exactly what Sound Stage helps you create. Is Sound Stage the perfect solution? You will have to read on to find out!
Video editing programs are big and bulky and take a lot of resources to run. I regularly use Adobe After Effects and Premiere, but my computer isn't always happy about that. It doesn't make sense to use Premiere or After Effects for the little tasks, but I don't particularly care for iMovie so I often find myself having to open up Premiere just to do a simple conversion or little edit, which doesn't make a great deal of sense. I've been looking for a light-weight program to take care of the little edits and Shave Video is definitely one I like.
Shave Video is a simple and quick program that's great for basic cutting, chopping, splicing and conversions. Shave Video is useful no matter your skill level. Novice users can complete simple edits like cutting a scene from a phone-video. Professional editors will appreciate the simplicity of the software for use in prep work or batch conversion. Read on to find out how the program works as well as what I really thought of it.
I was very reluctant to adopt Final Cut X and Motion 5 due to a number of reasons, one of the biggest of which was my favorite plugins working with the new software. I am very happy to say after many months, plugins are now available and coming out strong.
Let's go on a little video lover's escapade into the world of digital video and check some cool plugins! I even threw in a plugin for those who have not switched over to FCP X.
As smartphones have advanced over the last few years, their storage capacities have grown by leaps and bounds. All that space means more apps, music, and movies to use while on the go. However, transferring large amounts of media files can be a tedious and time-consuming task, (particularly if you sync over WiFi).
Fortunately, a simple solution exists that allow us to stream our media to phones, tablets and laptops, thus eliminating the need to sync to our various devices. But does the convenience of personal streaming outweigh the limitations inherent to such a solution?
The Mac has long been the homestead for effective and easy video editing, graphic design, and video compressing for many professionals and novices alike. If you are at all interested in getting your creative juices flowing, video wise, you will absolutely love this roundup. Many people know the big video apps for Mac, while other smaller and still great apps out there remained a mystery. So as a professional video editor and cinematographer, it is my mission to let you in on over thirty of the best video apps around.
Many of these apps are free and others are paid. Bang for your buck is very important when choosing what to spend your hard earned money on, so rest assured that all of the apps listed are in fact worth every penny. Lets dive right in and get creative!
At AppStorm, I've reviewed all kinds of media players and managers for Mac, from the great (Plex), to the not-so-great (Songbird). I've always been looking for something that has wonderful management features, but is also a pleasure to actually consume media with. While I use and love Plex, it still hasn't satisfied all of my media needs – There's definitely a gap for something incredible.
Elmedia Player is a media player for Mac, which boasts a huge range of codecs, including support for SWF Flash files, and it also has support for downloading movies. Let's take a look at how it compares, and if it's the media player of my dreams.
Despite Apple's near-domination of the digital media world with iTunes, Macs have never really had a stand-out solution for watching video – iTunes supports approximately 0 codecs, Front Row is pretty cumbersome, and standalone video players like QuickTime or VLC require far too much rooting around in my movies folders to find the movie I want. I'm looking for an easy-to-use, beautiful piece of software which will make watching movies on my Mac a pleasure.
This is where Plex comes in. As a firm favourite among movie-loving Mac users, Plex allows you to watch movies on your Mac from the comfort of your own sofa – It has support for the Apple Remote and accompanying iOS apps to improve the experience. To top it off, Plex even looks great. Could Plex be the media center app of my dreams? Let's take a look!
iTunes. You can't live with it, and yet you can't live without it. Sure, it does its job, but there are a whole lot of features which are unnecessary, and necessary features which haven't been implemented. It has Ping, a social network used by about 7 people, but no support for AVI videos, a video format loved by millions. Unfortunately for us, there aren't many decent alternatives.
Miro 4 was released recently, and although Miro was always an iTunes competitor, version 4 has really brought it into its own. The 100% free and open source media library does all of the things you want iTunes to do, and more. But is it worth abandoning iTunes for? Read on to find out.

As soon as Praneet got his birthday gifts and cake, he suddenly lost his cool. The reason was his craving for smoke. He requested Bigg Boss to give him a packet of cigarette for which he didn't get any answer. It was then he lost his cool and started expressing his anger out loud. We heard Praneet saying that he is very happy with the housemates and it's just the game of Bigg Boss that is annoying him!
However, after few minutes Praneet said sorry to Bigg Boss for getting emotional and blabbering things. We heard him telling Bigg Boss, "It's your game Bigg Boss. Please push me. I am ready to play the game."

As part of an ongoing effort to share our purpose being brought to life, Coordinated Care worked with a member who lost her husband to ALS, and the stress related induced a heart attack on her.
Cindy joined Coordinated Care under Medicaid expansion. She enrolled in January 2014, after paying for expensive low quality coverage. In 2013, Cindy lost her husband to ALS. This tragedy brought her into depression and added major stress to her life, which built up to Cindy having a heart attack.
She contacted the Coordinated Care team and was immediately referred to case management, Cenpatico and Nurtur. She was connected to a behavioral counselor who guided her through the depression and a health coach to create a realistic health plan to follow.
Cindy is grateful and thanks Coordinated Care for being so helpful during this rough time.
"I sincerely couldn't be happier with a health insurance company. Thank you," Cindy said.

Oscars host Neil Patrick Harris is hoping his first Academy Awards is nothing like his debut as the Tonys frontman when he had to deal with a serious injury to rocker Bret Michaels.
The Poison star was knocked out by a piece of a falling stage set at the end of the opening number while Harris was backstage preparing for his big entrance in 2009, and the host admits the drama left him unsettled as he started the show.
Harris says, "I was super, super convinced that he was really, really hurt... I screamed backstage... It was bad. I thought his skull had been crushed or something.
"My biggest fear was if something really bad had happened... we're at the beginning of a three-hour show about Broadway musicals and plays, so do you just mop up the floor and keep going or do you have to stop and say... 'Something terrible has gone wrong and we'll do the Tonys another night'."
