100 Days to a Better You
A special tribute must be given to the following sources for the next 100 articles I write.
1. Matthew Saluto, my husband. December 2010, he bought me the Apple Ipad. I am currently having a love affair with the Ipad. I recommend you do the same.
2. Apple company. Thank you. You are genius. http://www.apple.com/ipad/
3. Apple, Itunes, Ibooks app...love it. http://www.apple.com/ipad/built-in-apps/ibooks.html
4. Wolfgang Riebe, author. In 2010, Wolfgang compiled and published "100 Quotes to Make you Think," and I have definately been thinking. See www.theriebeinstitute.com for more excellent titles. I downloaded this ebook from Ibooks onto my Ipad, hence my inspiration.
Quote 1, Lesson 1
By: Genuinegal
"More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth. So dust off the cobb webs and use all those great ideas you have."
( "100 Quotes to make you think" By Wolfgang Riebe)
What is gold?
The flaky mineral can be melted and molded into long thick chains to adorn the necks of women and men alike, or made into round rings with diamonds set upon brackets, poured into bars to use for monetary value, or even made into decoration to signify wealth and royalty, much like the face mask of the Egyptian kings of our past....
Gold is truly mined from mother earth, and is altogether valuable, beautiful, and worth alot.
To metaphorically say "more thoughts have been mined from the thoughts of men than gold," is to say our thoughts have MORE VALUE, BEAUTY and WORTH than gold. How awesome is this, and yet, many times we miss this within ourselves. What is the advice and how can we change this within ourselves? How can you and I, normal people of the world, see our thoughts as MORE VALUABLE, MORE BEAUTIFUL and WORTH more than gold?
Shake off the Cobb Webs!
As said in the quote, "Dust off the cobb webs and use all those great ideas you have." Cobb webs are spun by spiders and typically sit around for a long time...especially old, dusty houses. Do you want your ideas and dreams to sit around, collecting dust until they fall away with the wind? No! Make your thoughts MORE VALUABLE, MORE BEAUTIFUL, and MORE WORTHY than the most brightest of gold. Don't let your dreams die. It doesn't matter how old you are, or what you think you don't have...you can accomplish anything.
While mother earth will still produce the flaky mineral known as gold, and all will marvel at gold's value, beauty and worth, a mineral is all it remains as.
But a thought, is endless energy. Thoughts are produced in the trillions, by every living being. Thoughts can grow in value, grow in beauty, and grow in worth...what will you allow yours to do for you?

Quick Reference
(World War II, 1939–45) A series of military campaigns fought in eastern Europe. The first campaign (September 1939) followed the Nazi-Soviet pact (1939), when Germany invaded Poland. Soviet forces entered from the east, and Poland collapsed. Finland was defeated in the Finnish-Russian War. In June 1941 Hitler launched a surprise offensive against his one-time ally, the Soviet Union. Italy, Romania, Hungary, Finland, and Slovakia joined in the invasion. By the end of 1941 Germany had overrun Belorussia and most of the Ukraine, had besieged Leningrad, and was converging on Moscow. The Russian winter halted the German offensive, and the attack on Moscow was foiled by a Soviet counter-offensive. Britain, now allied with the Soviet Union, launched a joint British-Soviet occupation of Iran (1941), thus providing a route for British and US supplies to the Red Army, as an alternative to ice-bound Murmansk. During 1942 Leningrad continued to be besieged, while a massive German offensive was launched towards Stalingrad and the oil-fields of the Caucasus. Kursk, Kharkov, and Rostov all fell, as did the Crimea, and the oil centre of Maikop was reached. Here the Soviet line consolidated and forces were built up for a counter-offensive which began in December 1942, the relief of Stalingrad following in February 1943. The surrender of 330,000 German troops there marked a turning point in the war. A new German offensive recaptured Kharkov, but lost the massive Battle of Kursk in July. The Red Army now resumed its advance and by the winter of 1943–44 it was back on the River Dnieper. In November 1943 Hitler ordered forces to be recalled from the Eastern Front to defend the Atlantic. Soviet offensives from January to May 1944 relieved Leningrad, recaptured the Crimea and Odessa, and re-entered Poland. Through the rest of the year and into 1945 the Red Army continued its advance, finally entering Germany in January 1945. By April it was linking up with advance troops of the Allied armies from the west, and on 2 May Berlin surrendered to Soviet troops. Victory on the Eastern Front had been obtained at the cost of at least 20 million lives.

text: So I met this guy about a month ago, and we dig each other. He's not looking for a relationship, and I'm not going to waste my energy trying to make him, so we're basically in the "friends with benefits" stage. The "benefits," however, only go so far. We've had several steamy makeout sessions in the car outside my house (with all the high school flashbacks included), but no sex. After one of these sessions, he told me he was having sex with someone else, and that it was a random, no-emotions arrangement. But we couldn't have sex because he felt guilty about having sex with two people at once. I should mention I'm polyamorous and do, in fact, sleep with more than one person. I would like him to be one of those people. My question is twofold: What the [bleep], is this dude stupid? And, I can't believe I'm saying this, how do I get this guy to sleep with me?--Benefit-less in Chicago

TAMPA — Joba Chamberlain has stuffed a lot into 281 2/3 major league innings.
He has been phenom and frustration, starter and reliever, heir to the top of the rotation and heir to Mariano Rivera.
Forget the Joba Rules, we have to deal with the Joba Roles. He has played more parts than Kevin Spacey.
Yet we still don't know who he is, character actor or star. You probably wouldn't be shocked if he re-emerged as the best eighth-inning man in the majors or if he erratically pitched himself back to Triple-A. Both his fastball and his career have flammable qualities.
And let's not even get on the subject of the future. No one is ruling out that Chamberlain will again be in play for the 2011 rotation. Heck, general manager Brian Cashman said he could see scenarios in which Joba works as a starter this year.
"A little, yeah," Chamberlain said when asked if he would like the Yankees to firmly declare what he is so he can settle into his career. But then Chamberlain switched into his more familiar clichés about doing what is best for the team and still being young and learning. He said it is not time yet to confront Yankees officials about identifying his role.
Perhaps that is because the Yankees are not completely sure. Phil Hughes is the fifth starter, but the Yankees will not even say Chamberlain is the eighth-inning guy. There is a simple reason for that. They don't trust him. They think Chamberlain tends to get too comfortable too quickly, and they want to keep him motivated, keep a carrot dangling.
Chamberlain almost certainly will pitch in the eighth inning when the season opens, but what happens next is unclear. Part of it has to do with Chamberlain, part probably has to do with the makeup of the team moving forward. Does Mariano Rivera begin to falter at age 40, moving the Yankees to project Joba as Mo's successor?
Does Hughes stumble in the rotation or does Andy Pettitte finally retire or does Javier Vazquez leave as a free agent? If any of that occurs, the Yankees could be trying to stretch out Chamberlain again to start.
At this moment, all the maneuvering the Yankees put into the Joba Rules, especially the past two years, feel like a bit of a waste with Chamberlain back as a reliever. Cashman vehemently disagrees. In fact, nothing quite unsettles Cashman's even temper like the never-ending debates about Chamberlain's usage patterns.
Cashman knows the least controversial move would have been to simply let Chamberlain have a normal minor league apprenticeship as a starter. Instead, the Yankees weighed that against the big-league team's needs. So Chamberlain was summoned as a reliever in 2007, which was instrumental to making the playoffs. And the Yanks let Joba build up his innings in the majors the past two years, and it did not prevent a championship campaign in 2009.
Cashman argues that if Chamberlain had the first full season as a starter for anyone else that he had for the Yankees last year — some good, some bad, a lot of working out kinks — it would have been viewed as normal progression and good enough to return to the rotation this year. But the Yankees went out and got Vazquez as a fourth veteran starter and determined they preferred Hughes in the rotation over Joba before spring even began.
There is much that the Yankees like about Hughes, including that temperamentally he is more trustworthy than Joba. Is he better than Chamberlain? That is still to be determined and why the Yankees are trying to keep an open mind about both pitchers' futures.
That is why the Yankees would not have an answer, even if Chamberlain did come seeking one. The organization doesn't know where he fits. They still don't know who he is in every way. So maybe that is the most important Joba Role this year for Chamberlain, reaffirming not only his talent, but also his reliability.

Drink of the Month: Redrum Mojito Slushy at Artusi
Jul 25, 2014
Our Take: Who says summer drinks have to be sickly sweet? Certainly not the bartenders at Artusi—their slushy, crimson-hued take on a mojito stays sophisticated and balanced, thanks to a heavy dose of Campari. The bitter Italian aperitivo—a creative edition to the classic rum, lime, and mint cocktail—almost overwhelms the other flavors…almost. But that's where the icy character of the drink goes from gimicky to genius, helping numb the tongue to the Campari's intensity. You can thank the rich Smith & Cross rum too; it warms the rest of the flavors, tearing some of the emphasis away from the bitter roots. The result: fruity and spicy, with the perfect amount of bite. Try it with: Artusi's roasted beets antipasti dish, which features raspberries, yogurt, and hazelnuts. Our Make-at-Home Version: Slushy machines are great, but a blender works just fine for an at-home version of this drink. To make, mix two parts rum (preferably Smith & Cross) to one part Campari or Aperol. Add a handful of mint, a squeeze of lime, and blend with ice. Taste right after blending and then tailor with more mint, lime, or spirit to your personal preference. Pour into a chilled glass and make a beeline to the nearest hammock.

New report shows how success of multi-province energy strategy depends on addressing oilsands expansion plans, including west-to-east pipeline
QUEBEC CITY — As Canada's premiers meet in Quebec City to discuss climate change, a new report from the Pembina Institute outlines key considerations and challenges for provincial discussions of a Canadian Energy Strategy.
The oilsands sector is Canada's fastest-growing source of carbon emissions. That means infrastructure proposals such as the Energy East pipeline have a significant impact on the federation's ability to meet climate change objectives. for a multi-province strategy to be credible and effective, it must take the full emissions footprint of fossil fuel projects into account.
Crafting an Effective Canadian Energy Strategy reviews the progress some provinces have made to date with carbon pricing policies. The report provides recommendations for making the Canadian Energy Strategy effective, and for how the provinces can fill the leadership vacuum left by the federal government on climate change — including by reviving the work of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy.
Quick facts
- The crude production needed to fill Energy East could generate up to 32 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year. That is roughly equal to the emission reductions Ontario made by phasing out coal-fired power (31.6 million tonnes).
- Annual carbon emissions are 68.8 tonnes per capita in Saskatchewan and 64 tonnes per capita in Alberta. By comparison, British Columbia and Quebec's per-capita emissions are only 13.2 and 9.7 tonnes respectively.
- Every $1 million invested in clean energy industries creates 15 jobs, compared with two jobs created by the same investment in oil and gas.
"Canada's premiers have an opportunity to collaborate and provide leadership through a Canadian Energy Strategy. But to achieve shared climate objectives, the provinces will have to address carbon-intensive megaprojects and their consequences in terms of emissions."

IEEE Spectrum website features quadruped microrobot
IEEE Spectrum's website recently featured a story on the Microrobotics Laboratory's tiny direct-drive miniature quadruped robot. The robot, which fits in the palm of a hand, has four independent drive motors, one for each wheeled leg, or "wheg."
A paper about the robot, "Efficiency and Effectiveness Analysis of a New Direct Drive Miniature Quadruped Robot," was presented in May 2013 at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Germany. The paper's authors are Microrobotics Lab Director and Assistant Professor Sarah Bergbreiter (ME/ISR), and her ME Ph.D. students Chris Brown (Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab) and Dana Vogtmann.

The Ultimate Shirtless K-drama Men's Workout
Just because it's winter now doesn't mean that we can all let ourselves go. We know it's hard to stay motivated, so we have compiled examples of the ultimate workout, demonstrated by shirtless K-drama men, of course!
Step 1: Everyone knows it's important to begin a good workout with a nice stretch, warming up those muscular shoulders and chocolate abs to prevent injury.
(from 49 Days)
Step 2: Now it's time to get in some pulse-raising cardio! We won't judge you if you start breathing hard.
(from Iris)
Step 3: It is crucial to keep those upper arms in shape. We all know how important rippling biceps are to our...um...health.
(from Emergency Couple)
See Joo Won and Shim Eun Kyung make beautiful music together in Tomorrow's Cantabile
Step 4: And you wouldn't want your body to get out of balance, so be sure to put as much effort into the back as you do to the front!
(from Fatal Encounter)
Step 5: It's also a good idea to leave the weight machines behind and do some body-weight exercises, including not only pull-ups, but also upside-down-chocolate-ab-ups. Here, let me check if you're doing it right...
(from When a Man Loves)
Wait, demonstrate those crunches one last time...
(from Oh! My Lady)
Pretty good, but it seems like you could use a personal trainer. I promise, I'm fully certified, and I make the perfect spotter!
Step 6: Well done! You deserve a break. Just let me show you where the locker room is!
(from Heirs)
Now it wouldn't be a K-drama workout without the mandatory shower scene, would it?
(from Boys over Flowers)
Same time next week?

As I've written before, furniture and decorative accessory showrooms and stores are a fountain of education and inspiration for those of us who love to decorate. For this post I'm sharing a photo I took a few years ago that illustrates the time-tested principles of displaying collections at home.
WHY I LOVE IT: This warm and inviting room vignette features an attractive coffee table top décor arrangement that you can easily replicate for your coffee table at home. I'm a huge fan of mixing and matching design elements from across styles and periods as shown here, but the key to making it all works so beautifully is to have a common thread that runs through the collection. In this set, the colors red and blue and the neutral metallic silver (I'm a firm believer that all metal colors can serve as neutrals, and the same goes for green – another favorite neutral, in my opinion.) work together to give the decorative table top a cohesive look. Also notice the harmonious use of differing heights, and the combination of finishes from the shiny metal tray and flower vase to the smooth porcelain jar to the sparkling crystal and the organically rough texture of the fruit bowl adding visual drama to the table which keeps the eye from getting bored.
WHERE I SAW IT: Spotted at the High Point Furniture Market in the Stanford Furniture showroom – home of the lovely equestrian-inspired Julie Bova furniture and décor collection. This photo shows several pieces from Julie's debut collection,

LOS ANGELES — This was Jared Goff's moment. His Los Angeles Rams had the ball with a lead Sunday, at home against one of the NFL's greatest teams, with Carson Wentz already ruled out for the game. It was first-and-10 at the Philadelphia Eagles' 35-yard line at the eight-minute mark of the fourth quarter. All the Rams really needed was a sustained drive, the type that would give their defense enough breathing room to get after backup quarterback Nick Foles and seal a victory.
But Goff never saw Chris Long.
"I probably need to get rid of it a little earlier there," Goff said. "It's one thing you can learn from, for sure."
The Rams ran play-action, and Long quickly got around Darrell Williams, an inexperienced backup who had replaced an injured Rob Havenstein at right tackle on the previous play. Goff didn't see anyone open downfield, so he shuffled his feet up in the pocket. And that's when Long, the former Ram, made his impact, sacking Goff and knocking the ball loose for the play that ultimately turned Sunday's 43-35 loss to the Eagles.
Philadelphia finished the ensuing drive with a field goal, and Los Angeles never answered. The Rams went three-and-out, then punted with just more than two minutes remaining, allowed the Eagles to convert a key third down and got the ball again with only one second left, their desperate attempt at a trick play resulting in another touchdown for Philadelphia.
Rams coach Sean McVay later blamed himself for Goff's fumble because a play-action pass with your starting right tackle out of the game — and Todd Gurley running the ball so efficiently — probably wasn't the best idea in that situation.
"I've got to do a better job of putting our offense in better situations, be smart, have a little bit of situational awareness," McVay said. "That was a mistake on my part."
Goff was later told McVay took the blame for the fumble and shook his head.
"He told me the same thing," Goff said. "He shouldn't do that. He's been doing a great job all year calling plays. Once the play comes in, it's my job to execute it, and unfortunately we didn't."
The Rams gave up 21 unanswered points early in their highly anticipated matchup against the Eagles, a game that saw the Rams distribute a season-high 2,300 credentials and house a season-high 67,752 fans. Their offense came out firing in the third quarter, as has been the case for most of the season. But they lost, even though they led by as many as four in the final quarter and Wentz exited with what might be a torn ACL.
The Rams fell to 9-4, on a day when both the Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks lost, and thus remained the No. 3 seed in the NFC.
McVay called it "a great learning opportunity" and said the Rams "can't afford to allow them to extend drives by things that we can't control," a reference to key penalties.
The Rams had seven of them, giving up 102 additional yards in a game with very little margin for error. Each of the Eagles' first two touchdown drives were aided by pass interference calls, the first on Alec Ogletree and the second on Trumaine Johnson. There also was leverage called on Aaron Donald on a 54-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter, which only extended a drive that finished with a shorter field goal.
But the biggest penalty came at the six-minute mark of the third quarter, on a deep ball from Wentz to Alshon Jeffery that fell incomplete. Johnson — who finished the game in concussion protocol and thus was not available to speak with the media — was called for unsportsmanlike conduct, gifting the Eagles 15 yards to help set up a key touchdown.
"They weren't even talking trash," Rams cornerback Nickel Robey-Coleman said. "They were just talking football and they threw the flag."
Jeffery saw it similarly.
"We know each other," he said. "When he makes a play, he's going to make some noise. When I make a play, I'm going to make some noise. It is what it is."
Sunday's game left a lot of room for second-guessing, especially with regards to Gurley, who averaged 7.4 yards per carry but received only 13 attempts. There were ill-timed penalties, a costly fumble, an imperfect run-pass ratio — but the Rams had their chance.
They had the ball again, down two with nearly four minutes left, at their own 25. Gurley lost three yards on a rushing attempt, Goff gained only those three yards back on a scramble, and a deep ball to Sammy Watkins fell incomplete. Punting on fourth-and-10, Goff said, "was the right move."
But the Rams never really got another chance.
"It was definitely a really tight one and one that was a lot of fun to be a part of," Goff said. "We would have liked to finish it a different way, but I think if we eliminate some of the stuff that we did that hurt us in the end there, it could be a different story. That Philadelphia team is really good. It's a really good team and so are we. We knew it was going to be a dogfight and so did they. Four-quarter game, all the way to the end."

Tinhorn Creek Vineyards at 20
Photo: Tinhorn Creek's Miradoro Restaurant - party central
Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with gusto.
Throughout the season, the winery has hosted, or will host, 20 different events. For example, the afternoon of July 20 is a festival with wine tastings, music and food from the Miradoro Restaurant. There is a starlight dinner scheduled for August 15. There are a series of concerts with such bands as
and Colin James (I am guessing
these are sold out). Hey Ocean
There are several movie nights in the winery's amphitheatre, several dinners at Miradoro. The celebrations wind up with a Christmas party on December 6, the 20th of its events.
These people certainly know how to party!
If you can't join them at the winery, you can always enjoy the wines. The 2013 white and rosé releases are Tinhorn at the top of its game.
Among the other new releases, the very pleasant surprise was the 2010 Oldfield Series Pinot Noir, a $30 wine that tastes like it should cost quite a bit more.
For most of its 20 years, Tinhorn Creek has been known for a lot of varietals but seldom for Pinot Noir. One could say that for a number of other wineries as well. Pinot Noir, after all, is a challenging grape to grow well and to handle well in the winery.
There seems to have been a sea change in Tinhorn Creek's Pinot Noir. I am not sure what is going so right for them; it certainly would start with the viticulture. Perhaps there is new winery equipment dedicated to Pinot Noir. Another plus is Tinhorn Creek's decision in recent years to give its reds more bottle age, meaning that the wines are more likely to be ready to drink on release.
The silky Oldfield Series Pinot Noir certainly benefitted from two and a half years of bottle age before its release on July 1, 2014.
Here are notes on current releases.
Tinhorn Creek Gewürztraminer 2013 ($16.99. This wine has started to pile up awards and for good reason. The spice and lychee aromas just reach out from the glass to announce that this is an intense expression of the varietal. On the palate, there are flavours of grapefruit and lychee. The texture is juicy and the wine is balanced to finish fairly dry. 91.
Tinhorn Creek Chardonnay 2013 ($18.99). Sixteen per cent of this wine was barrel fermented, giving the winemaker a subtle flavour addition when blending with the tank-fermented wine. The buttery citrus on the palate also suggests a portion saw malolactic fermentation. Fundamentally, this is an appealing fruit-forward Chardonnay with flavours of citrus, apple, guava and tangerine. 89.
Tinhorn Creek Pinot Gris 2013 ($18.99). The first sample I tasted in March was still in bottle shock. I have tasted this wine several times since it emerged from shock, finding it to be juicy and refreshing, with crisp apple and citrus flavours. 90.
Tinhorn Creek Pinot Noir 2011 ($21.99). The wine begins with appealing aromas of strawberry mingled with subtle oak. On the silky palate, there are flavours of cherry and strawberry. The moderate alcohol of 12.3% reflects a cool year; even so, the wine finishes with elegance. 90
Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Series 2Bench Rosé 2013 ($22.99 for 1,000 cases). This wine is made entirely with Cabernet Franc and is made very much in the style of a
Provence rosé – pale
salmon hue, delicate fruit flavours and dry on the finish. It has notes of
strawberry and cranberry in the aroma and on the palate. 89.
Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Series 2Bench White 2013 ($22.99). The tropical fruit bomb is a blend of 31% Sauvignon Blanc, 29% Chardonnay, 28% Sémillon, 9% Viognier and 3%
Muscat. It is a mouthful
of ripe peach, pear and citrus flavours. The wine is rich on the palate and has
a lingering finish. 91.
Tinhorn Creek Oldfield Series Pinot Noir 2010 ($29.99). All the stops were pulled out for this wine. This was a cool vintage but picking was delayed until October 8, with the result that the grapes were ripe enough to produce a wine with 14.8% alcohol. It spent a year in French oak barrels and another two and a half years in bottle prior to release. This is a powerful Pinot Noir with aromas of cherry, herbs and sage. It has a juicy concentrated texture with savoury cherry flavours and the complex notes that aficionados like to call barnyard, for reasons that elude me. There is a note of spice on the finish. This is a wine that can be cellared another five years as it expresses its potential. It has won one gold medal and no doubt has others in its future. 92.

My family of 4 rented this vacation home for 4 days. It is a great locatin for access to Rimg of Kerry and the Wild Atlantic Way. The property was spotless but has a few quirks including no tumble dry. It gets very warm upstairs even with windows open. There are no instructions on utilizing the set up which makes it difficult if you are not familiar with Irish set ups. Unfortunately, the owner was not very responsive or welcoming. This area of the country is fabulous and the locals are spectacular!
We were a 3 generation family traveling as a party of 7 people. The Kozy Cottage was clean, comfortable and perfectly situated. Close to Waterville and the Ring of Kerry. There were some miscommunications regarding the key and the hot water but the owner took care of these things immediately. Our stay was just amazing. I hope we get to go back. I highly recommend this property.

As the heat of Summer slowly cools down to a simmer, those yearning for cooler climates might want to take a dip in one of the coolest sections of Central Library. Down in the History Department is where you will find the the very end of the Dewey Decimal range of call numbers. The 998s and 999s. A very appropriate home for the subject of polar regions and exploration.
Before space exploration was even remotely possible and deep sea exploration was still the stuff of Jules Verne novels, polar exploration was considered by many to be the final frontier of terra firma. For centuries, explorers, merchants and adventurers from all over the globe struggled, often fatally, to make their way to the poles.
Historically, Arctic exploration typically served the purpose of finding a more feasible route to Asia by way of Europe. On the other hand, or pole, exploration into the Antarctic and the South Pole wasn't of major economic interest by many and was instead typically sought after by explorers and adventurers for the glory and honor of doing what nobody had ever done before. Some means of travel were ingenious. Others foolish. All of them brave. The stories of survival range from chilling, to downright cold hearted when tough decisions needed to be made.
For example, Fridtjof Nansen attempted to literally drift to the North Pole in an iron reinforced ship that he sailed as far north as possible before purposely letting the waters around him freeze and lock the ship into place while the shifting plates of crushing ice crept closer to his goal. Others, like S.A. Andrée attempted to summit the Earth in a hot air balloon. The remains of this craft were not found until 34 years later. The idea of flying a dirigible over the pole was actually quite sound, and it was successfully accomplished in 1926 by explorers flying within The Norge. And of course, there is Ada Blackjack. Blackjack was an Inuit woman who was recruited as a seamstress for an Arctic expedition. When the journey ended in ruin, Blackjack was left stranded alone on an island in Siberia for two years with her only companion being Vic, the expeditions cat. Both eventually were rescued to safety.
The following books are really just the tip of the iceberg of what Central Library has to offer on the harrowing topic of polar exploration.

Get up to 4 Free Quotes!
When you own a house, it's easy to get comfortable in your space and fail to notice when it's time to make changes. You get busy working, the kids and pets are running around, and before you know it, there are smells coming from places you didn't know existed.
Odors in the home don't have to be a common occurrence. There are ways to prevent and maintain a home that not only looks good, but smells good too. See seven easy DIY solutions for freshening up your home so you've got pleasant odors roaming your space.
1. Eliminate Garbage Disposal Odors
Your garbage disposal could be wreaking more havoc in your home than you might realize. Food and grime build up over time and start to seep through to your kitchen and beyond. Start by running some lemon, lime or orange peels through your disposal to eliminate any odors. It's said that the acid in the fruit kills some of the odor causing bacteria.
Also, if you're an advocate of baking soda, this cleaning tip is for you. Dump your baking soda into the garbage disposal, add a cup of white vinegar and let your disposal run. Voila! The hardest part of eliminating odors is remembering to actually run these items through your garbage disposal and not letting gunk build up in the first place.
Then again, if you don't really use your garbage disposal, you could remove it.
2. Fresh Scents
Budget-friendly scents such as lavender or chamomile go a long way in the home. They've even been known to help people sleep better when put in and around bed pillows. Lavender is a fresh, floral, clean and calm aroma that's the perfect for making your home smell great. Mix together a DIY room freshener using lavender or diffuse it in and around the home to banish stale odors.
Get up to 4 Free Quotes!
Chamomile is another scent that is recommended for removing unpleasant smells in the house. The term refers to a range of different daisy-like plants and has long been known for its healing properties. The odor is sweet, apple-like and herbaceous. An easy DIY chamomile room spray can be made by diluting 12 drops of the essential oil per ounce of distilled water.
3. Deodorize Carpets
Carpets are certainly to blame for a lot of the smelly odors lurking in your house. That's why it's recommended that you always have a carpet freshener on deck.
Instead of purchasing products with chemicals in them, you can create your own deodorizing carpet powder using a few natural ingredients.
4. Vanilla Extract
Sprinkling vanilla extract on light bulbs is one trick to eliminating odors. This is one tip I've never heard of, so I wanted to learn more! Apparently, it's an old real estate agent's trick. Put a drop or two of vanilla extract on a lightbulb, turn on the light and smell the magic. Your house will soon smell like you've been baking all day. You can also opt to burn vanilla extract or any other essential oil to quickly enhance the smell of your house.
5. Air Fresheners
Grab a few mason jars and your favorite essential oils or liquid potpourri and follow this DIY tutorial for making your own gel air fresheners. The fresheners will not only make your home smell good, but they're pretty too.
Your other option is to create a mix of your favorite smelling sprays to distribute throughout the house. I found a great website that outlines several different options for you to try depending on your taste.
6. Potted Plants
This is by far my favorite DIY option for making your home smell fresh and clean. Natural air purifiers include palm trees, orchids and peace lilies. Plants not only bring energy and life to your home but they look beautiful too.
Besides the living room, think about bringing plants into your kitchen and bathrooms to brighten up the space and create a peaceful and calm environment. If you don't want the hassle of taking care of real plants, then you can purchase fancy fake ones and switch them out as often as you'd like.
7. Stovetop Potpourri
Here's a suggestion that anyone who owns an oven and a pan can tackle. It's a quick fix too. Interior designer Rhobin DelaCruz suggests you, "Simmer water in a small saucepan and add citrus (lemon) slices and herbs, like lavender or mint." In no time, beautiful aromas will be floating throughout your home. No need to buy prepackaged deodorizers when there's a simple and natural DIY solution that'll do the trick.
A happy home is one that not only looks put together, but smells like it too. These tips are sure to bring a delightful and revitalizing odor to your house. If you have any other deodorizing solutions that you've tried, please include them in the comments section below!

Dyngus Day hits the big time as celebrations grow and spread
In an alignment of comic coincidence, Dyngus Day falls on April 1 this year.
And with the harmonic convergence of the Polish and the foolish, this year's celebrations are going bigger and more widespread than ever.
Blame CNN's Anderson Cooper if you'd like. His on-air fit of hysterical giggling while reading a report on the Dyngus Day holiday went viral last year, drawing untold amounts of free publicity for the Easter Monday celebration.
More deserving of credit for the growing popularity, though, are the Dyngus Day organizers in Buffalo, where the small, Old Country, end-of-Lent tradition received its first boost in the 1960s with the help of the local Chopin Singing Society, and then went turbo in the 2000s with parades, parties and fireworks.
This year, New Orleans, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Albany and proud Polish-Americans everywhere will join Buffalo in getting their Dyngus on.
Many might be wearing Dyngus Day shirts shipped directly from the "homeland" – Buffalo's East Side. Christian Dobosiewicz said business was brisk last week at the Dyngus Day booth at the Broadway Market, with a black T-shirt emblazoned with the red outline of a fierce Polish falcon being the best-seller.
"It's a cooler, hipper design," he said. "It's new this year, and we're starting to run out."
Many people, especially those from out of town, want to know what a Dyngus is (usually, it's not what they think), and other customers buy the shirts for friends and family in the Buffalo diaspora across the country, he said.
"It's not just a Polish thing anymore; it's turned into a Western New York thing," said Eddy Dobosiewicz, president of Dyngus Day Buffalo. "And that's why it's spreading throughout the country. America's Polonia has been dying for something to be proud of and to celebrate."
Exactly what is being celebrated is open to interpretation, but a few things are generally agreed upon: The happy holiday's expression of joy and good spirits reflects the end of the Lenten season and the rebirth that comes with spring; there's bound to be a run on squirt guns at the dollar stores before it's all over; and, as with Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day and Cinco de Mayo, there are those who like any reason to raise a glass with friends.
It's all part of the tradition.
But a quick survey of shoppers carrying pussy willow branches at the Broadway Market last week indicated the "true meaning of Dyngus Day" is a work in progress. Setting aside those who were using the branches only for bouquets, there was a general uncertainty over who, historically, hits whom with pussy willows on Dyngus Day, and who is squirted with water, and whether it is considered flirting or fighting.
Eddy Dobosiewicz clarified the squirt gun/pussy willow connection.
"In Poland, the boys would splash girls with water, or maybe perfume if they were affluent, to get their attention," he said. "The girls would chase the boys away – defend themselves – with the pussy willows."
The modern version translates to sprays from a water pistol and taps on the back of the legs with the pussy willow switches. That said, there are contemporary adaptations.
"In this day and age, [people] go ahead and hit and splash anyone they want," Dobosiewicz conceded with a laugh.
Some venues may ask partyers armed with squirt guns and Super Soakers to check their weapons at the door, so they don't put a damper on the festivities.
Official Dyngus Day events were set to begin last night with the blessing of the instruments at the Pvt. Leonard Post Jr. Post 6251, Veterans of Foreign Wars, in Cheektowaga.
But the bigger activities begin today.
The annual Dyngus Day Parade, along Broadway to Fillmore Avenue, up Fillmore to Peckham Street and then up Memorial Drive, starts at 5:30 p.m. today.
Credit for the parade goes entirely to the late Russ Pawlak, who also was instrumental in preserving the Central Terminal on the East Side, Dobosiewicz said.
"Russ was hellbent on having this parade," he said, "and we knew immediately it was going to work, from that first parade when we had, what, two guys named Stanley, their friend Walter and a pickup truck and some kids in costume."
The 2013 version is expected to draw thousands of onlookers in red and white garb, a multitude of floats and marchers, polka bands and, yes, some kids in costumes.
Then it will be an evening of pale ales, pierogi and polkas as revelers dance the night away to tunes like "Who Stole the Kishka?" (kishka, kiszka or kaszanka is a blood sausage made from pig parts, blood and barley groats, usually wrapped in a casing and not one of the more popular items on the Dyngus Day table.)

|Department of Public Information • News and Media Division • New York
Meeting Africa's development needs would require "resolution and leadership to turn existing African and international commitments into results", United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser on Africa Cheick Sidi Diarra said at a Headquarters press conference today, as he briefed reporters on an upcoming high-level meeting on Africa's development needs.
"This is undeniably one of the most important challenges facing African countries and institutions, as well as the international community," he added.
The high-level event, to be held on Monday, 22 September, in New York, would be attended by 106 delegations and serve as a decisive forum for world leaders to review all commitments made by Africans and their development partners. That would likely help upgrade priorities and streamline actions, with the ultimate goal of setting the right priorities for attaining the Millennium Development Goals.
Mr. Diarra said discussions would be shaped by the Secretary-General's report entitled " Africa's development needs: state of implementation of various commitments, challenges and the way forward" (document A/63/130), in which the Secretary-General, for the first time, reviewed all international commitments and identified actions to address African needs.
Generally, he said, it was clear that progress towards attaining the Development Goals in Africa was off-track, and the continent's potential had not been fully harnessed: two fifths of the population lived on less than $1 per day; the region accounted for 1 per cent of global gross domestic product (GDP), with 12 per cent of the world's population; and its volume of external trade represented only 2 per cent of global trade.
Such needs had prompted important promises, he explained, and the Secretary-General's report provided practical recommendations, which, if implemented, would help reach the Goals by strengthening Africa's productive capacity and promoting both a peaceful environment and development plan of action in priority sectors such as health, infrastructure and education.
"The development of the continent is a complex phenomenon," he said. Its major obstacles included violent conflict, internal public mismanagement and, in some cases, inadequate international support.
On commitments made through the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) framework for achieving the Goals, he said the report concluded that, despite progress in good governance and health (two of six strategic priorities), international effort had varied in terms of quality, quantity and effectiveness.
For its part, the United Nations contribution had ranged from policy research and analysis to provisions of aid, technical assistance and humanitarian relief. Through the years, it had focused on support to NEPAD and the Development Goals.
In that regard, the report of the MDG Africa Steering Group, established in 2007, was of pivotal importance, he said. The primary responsibility for achieving the Goals lay with African Governments, which were putting in place comprehensive programmes. Development partners had made commitments in areas of aid, debt cancellation, trade, and peace and security. While significant progress had been made in debt relief, the Aid for Trade initiative and support for peace and security, more effort was needed to follow through on pledges of sectoral-level support.
Peace and security commitments made by the General Assembly and Group ofEight (G-8) summits had led to tangible results, he continued. United Nations commitments were delivered through regional consultation mechanisms, and concrete progress had been made in the area of training and mediation. The G-8 was also on track to fulfilling its commitment.
Discussing the Secretary-General's recent MDG Africa Steering Group report, he said the global community had agreed to increase external financing for African agriculture from $1.2 billion to $8 billion by 2010. On education, $8.3 billion was needed annually to achieve the Development Goal in that area. On health, external financing needs would reach an estimated $25 billion to $30 billion by 2010, while some $52.2 billion per year would be needed in public and private investment to resolve infrastructure bottlenecks.
In sum, $72 billion in external finances would be needed per year to support achievement of the Millennium Development Goals in Africa. " Africa's development problems are everyone's problems," he declared.
Turning to questions, he said it was true that the United Nations was identifying innovative ways to mobilize resources for the Goals. Sovereign wealth funds had existed since 1953, and the United Nations had identified them as a source of new investment. The MDG Africa Steering Group report had referred to new, emerging economies, which appealed for adherence to the Paris Principles on Aid Effectiveness, as another way to mainstream the use of the funds. The World Bank had estimated that a 1 per cent investment of the funds' $3 trillion in Africa would help bridge the financing gap by $30 billion, almost 45 per cent of the $72 billion needed.
To a query on whether any African States were graduating from the least developed country list, he said Cape Verde had graduated on 17 December 2007, bringing the total number of African least developed countries to 33.
Replying to another question, he said 37 Heads of State and 11 Heads of Government had confirmed their attendance at the plenary session of the high-level event. Of those, 23 were Heads of State, 2 were Heads of Government and 1 was a Vice President from Africa. Countries included Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Seychelles, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Togo and Uganda. As to whether Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir would attend, Mr. Diarra said he was on the list.
As for Chinese investment in Africa and whether Chinese delegates would participate in the event, Mr. Diarra said China's sovereign wealth fund had invested $5.5 billion in African infrastructure, equal to the total contribution from the global community in that sector.
Taking a question on the recent financial market turmoil, Mr. Diarra said that, while he was concerned by the world economy's trend, commitments should be fulfilled, particularly for official development assistance (ODA). Further, the return on investment in Africa was an estimated 20 to 30 per cent, among the world's highest. Expanding two multilateral initiatives -- one for debt relief, and another for highly indebted countries -- would also enhance progress. The crisis could be an opportunity for developed countries to reduce agricultural subsidies and further the process of opening markets to African nations.
Responding to another question, he said the high-level meeting's declaration contained no new commitments; it recalled existing ones taken by African nations, notably in the areas of economic and political governance and transparency, through the African Peer Review Mechanism. It also called on development partners to fulfil their pledges, such as those made in the Millennium Declaration, the Monterrey Consensus and the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development.
To a question on the reality of halving poverty levels in the face of the global food crisis, Mr. Diarra said that there were short-term concerns, and the Comprehensive Framework for Action adopted by the Secretary-General's Task Force on the Food Crisis proposed meeting people's immediate food needs, especially those of schoolchildren. In the long term, there was some cause for optimism: the cost of food could be a chance to help small farmers increase their productivity through provision of fertilizers and high-yield seeds. Emergency support from the World Food Programme was helping the world's most vulnerable people.
Concerning African and international commitments, Mr. Diarra said international support could only complement Africa's own efforts to attend to its fate. Africa was making progress in economic and political governance, notably through an African Union declaration on the principles of democracy and governance, and the African Peer Review Mechanism. Also, NEPAD had identified priority sectors for intervention -- including infrastructure, agriculture and education -– and had asked Governments to allocate percentages of their budgets to sectoral development.
Partner contributions gave meaning to the notion of "global partnership" outlined in the United Nations Charter, he continued. While there had been progress in debt relief and in bilateral trade initiatives, Africa should augment its productive capacity to create wealth on the continent. "It's not worth it to export only raw materials," he said. For its part, the United Nations would continue to support the community of nations and promote international cooperation and global partnership in support of development.
To another question, Mr. Diarra said the Peer Review Mechanism did not have an enforcement tool; its role was to share best experience and advice and set up a plan of action for countries to meet their political, economic and human rights shortcomings. The fact that peers could speak about internal problems of their counterparts in Africa was already "good progress".

Robert Pattinson's 'Cosmopolis' Premiere At MoMA Attracts Diehard Fans
Fans showed up in droves for Rob's 'Cosmopolis' premiere at MoMa on Monday August 13 — and many had choice words regarding Kristen Stewart's affair with Rupert Sanders! These fans opened up to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY! Read on for all the details!
Over 150 fans camped outside the Museum of Modern Art for Robert Pattinson's Cosmopolis premiere — happening today August 13!
Fans first on line told HollywoodLife.com that they arrived at the museum on Saturday night (Aug. 11) and have been there ever since! (Talk about dedication!) Fans standing mid-way through the line arrived on Sunday (Aug. 12) at 9 A.M. Most of the diehard supporters are New Yorkers, but one girl said that she flew in from Washington just for the premiere while two other girls drove down from Maryland!
From our observations, there were about 150 people on line, but some were saving spots.
Fan reactions to Kristen Stewart's affair varied. Two girls were adamant that Rob and Kristen's personal lives were "none of our business" and they will "support both of their careers in the future." But these girls also hope the cheating scandal doesn't ruin the Twilight premiere.
Three other fans agreed they were "devastated" with the news, but hope Rob and Kristen get back together! They added, "Kristen is 22 and makes mistakes. She hurt Rob, but we understand her situation. We don't necessarily want them back together, but loved them as a couple."
All of those in line are excited to see Rob, excluding one girl who seemed to have gotten dragged along. She said, "I'm team Kristen all the way."
The fans would be happy to get a glimpse of Rob, but hope to get him to sign movies and get pictures!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you team Rob or team Kristen?
— Christopher Rogers

CT Scan (General)
A CT scan uses x-ray technology to take multiple views of the inside of the body. Compared to regular x-rays , a CT scan can take clearer and more detailed images of organs, bone, soft tissue, blood vessels, and other parts of the body.
|CT Scan of the Head
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for test
Some of the primary uses for CT scans include:
- Looking for bleeding inside the body, especially in the skull.
- Studying the chest and abdomen
- Determining the size and location of a tumor
- Diagnosing skeletal problems
- Diagnosing blood vessel diseases
- Planning radiation treatments for cancer
- Guiding biopsies and other tests
- Planning surgery
- Identifying injuries from trauma
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a CT scan, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These may include:
- Allergic reaction to contrast material
- Damage to the kidney from contrast material
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Allergies (if you are given a contrast dye during the test)
- Kidney problems (if you are given a contrast dye during the test)
You are exposed to some radiation during a CT scan. Radiation exposure can increase your lifetime risk of cancer. This risk increases the more times you are exposed to radiation. Radiation exposure is more concerning for pregnant women and children. CT scans are usually not advised for pregnant women.
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the test.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Before the test, your doctor will likely ask about:
- Your medical history
- Medications you take
- Allergies
- Whether you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant
- Before your test, follow your doctor's instructions regarding any changes to your medications or diet.
At the healthcare facility:
- A healthcare professional will explain the test and answer any questions you may have.
- You will remove your clothes and put on a gown or robe.
- You will remove all jewelry, hair clips, dentures, and other objects that could show on the x-rays and make the images hard to read.
- If your CT scan includes oral contrast material, you will need to drink the contrast material at this time.
Description of the Test
You will lie (usually on your back) on a movable bed. The bed will slide into the donut-shaped CT scanner. Depending on the type of scan, an IV line may be placed in your hand or arm. A saline solution and contrast material may be injected into your vein during the test. The technologist will leave the room. You will be given directions using an intercom. The machine will take a series of pictures of the area of your body that is being studied. Your bed may move slightly between pictures.
After Test
You will need to wait for the technician to review your images. In some cases, more images will need to be taken.
How Long Will It Take?
About 10-15 minutes, depending on how many pictures are needed.
Will It Hurt?
You may feel warm and flushed if contrast material is injected into your vein. Otherwise, you should feel no pain.
The CT images will be sent to a radiologist who will analyze them. Your doctor will receive the results and discuss them with you.
Call Your Doctor
After the test, call your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Symptoms of allergic reaction, such as hives, itching, nausea, swollen or itchy eyes, tight throat, or difficulty breathing
- Any other concerns
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.
