Buffalo Trace and Maker's Mark might be the next distilleries to expand their visitors centers.
Buffalo Trace, owned by Sazerac, is on the Kentucky Tourism Development Finance Authority's agenda Wednesday for final approval of incentives to expand the meeting space, gift shop and tasting area at its Frankfort distillery, which makes a spectrum of popular bourbons, including Pappy Van Winkle, Elmer T. Lee, Blanton's and Buffalo Trace.
Total cost of the project is estimated to be more than $2.2 million.
Buffalo Trace spokes woman Amy Preske said the distillery had no comment.
Maker's Mark also is on the agenda for preliminary approval of a $2 million, 3,500-square-foot expansion of the Loretto distillery's visitors center. If the request for incentives gets initial approval Wednesday, the authority will conduct a study to determine whether the project meets legal requirements, then consider final approval in about six weeks.
Maker's Mark, owned by Beam (soon to be owned by Suntory), wants to expand and move its welcome center, add a special Maker's 46 experience and add parking. The distillery is working on rerouting truck traffic away from tourist parking.
Maker's Mark also recently unveiled a Dale Chihuly art glass installation on the visitors tour inside a bourbon warehouse.
Maker's Mark is planning a $67 million upgrade of the distillery, including adding a third set of stills to expand production capacity by 50 percent, and building new warehouses to help meet demand for the premium bourbon.
Also Wednesday, Woodford Reserve Distillery will open its expanded visitors center with a new tasting room. The $1.63 million renovation also remodeled the visitors center, expanded catering and updated the gift shop. Brown-Forman, Woodford's parent, invested $1.5 million, and the distillery was eligible for $407,000 in tax incentives from the tourism cabinet.
Woodford Reserve also is undergoing a $35 million expansion of its distillery, including adding more pot stills, three more warehouses and a bigger bottling line.
According to the tourism cabinet, a report on the distillery's application found that it met the requirements necessary to receive a rebate on sales tax generated by the tourism attraction, including an expenditure of more than $1 million, being open more than 100 days a year, attracting at least 25 percent of visitors from outside the state by its fourth year of operation and having a positive net economic impact on the Kentucky economy.
Woodford Reserve attracts more than 150,000 tourists annually.
And next week, Wild Turkey in Lawrenceburg will celebrate its new $4 million visitors center overlooking the Kentucky River. This will cap a $100 million investment by parent company Campari, which opened a $43 million bottling plant last fall and is building barrel warehouses, in addition to a new $50 million distillery.
The 9,140-square-foot Wild Turkey visitors center is eligible to receive $1 million in tax incentives over 10 years from the tourism cabinet.
Kentucky's distilleries are eager to capitalize on and feed the enthusiasm for bourbon, which has lead to a tourism "arms race." Last fall, Heaven Hill opened the $10 million, five-story Evan Williams' Bourbon Experience in downtown Louisville, with a craft distillery inside. Heaven Hill already had one visitors center in Bardstown but wanted a foothold in Louisville.
In 2012, Jim Beam debuted the $15 million American Stillhouse, which is eligible for more than $3.7 million in tourism cabinet incentives. Four Roses in Lawrenceburg completed a $2.4 million revamp of its visitors center at the Spanish mission style distillery.
Tourism cabinet officials said they hoped the expansions would keep the bourbon boom rolling along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
Including the Sazerac distilleries, which are not on the Bourbon Trail, there were almost 750,000 visits to at least one Kentucky distillery in 2013.
By 2016, the Kentucky Distillers' Association predicts tourism could reach 800,000 visits, with 40,000 people going to all the distilleries on the trail.
Future expansions of visitors centers, warehouses, distilleries and a slew of related expenses also will be eligible for a new tax rebate of $14 million in ad valorem "barrel taxes" created by the General Assembly. Gov. Steve Beshear is reviewing the revenue bill.

Email has become a tool that users expect to have at hand no matter where they are—hence the proliferation of PDAs. Providing users with wireless access so that they can use these handheld devices to access email on the go is fast becoming a necessity. But the variety of access options, not to mention the plethora of PDA devices, can complicate the process of choosing the right solution. You need to understand the available methods of providing a wireless connection, and you need to talk with users and determine exactly how they need to manipulate email on their PDAs. Then, keeping security in mind, you can evaluate the available implementations and decide which solution will work best for your users—and for you.
Connection Options
To connect a PDA to an Exchange mailbox, you have a choice of three methods. I refer to these methods as synchronization, connection-oriented client/server, and agent-based instant messaging.
Synchronization. Synchronization copies Exchange mailbox items to and from the PDA, which the user then can use to manipulate email offline. This process is similar to having users use Outlook and an offline store (OST) to access their mailbox content when they aren't connected to the network. Software that's sometimes called a conduit translates and copies mailbox contents to and from the PDA. Because users can access mailbox changes that occur after a synchronization session only at the next synchronization, this method gives users only a snapshot-in-time view of their email messages. Synchronization is available out of the box for almost all PDA devices that use a cable connected to a serial or USB port; you can also set synchronization to occur over a wireless (or wired) connection through a modem or NIC if the PDA supports these devices.
Out of the box, conduit software runs on the user's PC, but some solutions let you set up centralized synchronization servers on your network. (These solutions are generally specific to a particular brand of PDA.) The synchronization servers perform the same function as the PC-based synchronization conduits, but the conduit software runs on the server. Synchronization servers provide better security than individually installed PC-based conduits do. The servers give your IT group more control over email management, back up PDA-side content to a central location, and eliminate the need for users to leave their PCs logged on to support a desktop-based modem or LAN synchronization connection.
Connection-oriented client/server. The connection-oriented client/server method uses PDA-side software—sometimes in combination with a gateway server—to turn a PDA into an email client that directly manipulates an Exchange mailbox. This client can be as generic as a browser or can be a specialized solution that uses Exchange-supported Internet protocols such as POP or IMAP. This type of solution might also provide enhancements, such as compressed transmission or encryption.
I call this method "connection-oriented" because these solutions require users to initiate and maintain a connection to the network from the PDA while manipulating their mailboxes. A user can use the PDA's wireless (or wired) modem to dial into a RAS server or ISP, then use that connection as a transport to reach the corporate Exchange server. Depending on the solution, connection-oriented access can take place over a full- or part-time connection—similar to using RAS to connect a home PC or laptop as a node on the corporate LAN. Depending on the PDA's client-side capabilities, users might be able to retrieve items, then read and compose email offline. Browser-based solutions let users access mailbox, calendar, and public-folder items, but only while the PDA is connected to the server.
Agent-based instant messaging. Agent-based instant messaging necessitates a full-time wireless connection for the PDA. This solution typically involves four parts: an agent service, a PDA client, a messenger server, and the Exchange server. An agent service is software that runs on a PC or server on the corporate LAN and that acts as a proxy for the mailbox owner. The agent monitors a user's Exchange mailbox and lets the user manipulate the mailbox as if he or she were directly accessing it. A client component runs on the PDA; users employ the PDA client to read and compose email. The PDA client is always connected as a node on a wireless network (e.g., a device-specific network, a wireless ISP, a corporate wireless LAN—WLAN) but never connects directly to the Exchange server. Instead, the client communicates only with a messenger server, which also has access to the wireless network. This server accepts messages from and pushes messages to the handheld device. The agent service communicates with the messenger server over the wireless network, and the two act as intermediaries between the PDA and the Exchange server.
As the user's Exchange mailbox receives new messages, the agent service sends a copy of the messages over the wireless network to the messenger server. The messenger server transmits the messages to the PDA. When the user sends a message from the PDA, the message goes to the messenger server, which passes it to the agent service. The agent accesses the mailbox to send the message to the recipients. From a recipient's point of view, such messages look as though they originated directly from the user's mailbox. Because the PDA uses a full-time wireless connection, users don't need to manually establish a connection and receive messages from the agent service; messages are received as soon as the messenger server transmits them.
Get the Details
To determine which solution to use, you need answers to the following questions: What, which, when, and where? What PDAs are users employing, and for exactly which purposes do they plan to use the devices? When and where do users need to use their PDAs?
What and which. You probably know that most people want to use a PDA to access email, but you need to understand exactly how people want to manipulate that email. Are users going to send and receive text messages only, or do they also need to send and receive attachments? Most solutions that let users read email on a PDA don't initially pull the entire message from the user's mailbox. These solutions usually copy only the first 2000 to 8000 characters of the message. This setup can be problematic for a couple of reasons. First, what happens when users have no way to retrieve the rest of an important message that's longer than the set number of characters? Second, what if users want to forward the message to someone else? You need to be sure that the solution can incorporate the remaining content into the forwarded message.
If attachments are important, which types of attachments do users expect to encounter, and what will they need to do with them? Attachment support varies among devices. Some solutions let users view, but not edit or compose, attachments. Some solutions support attachments but discard all formatting and show only raw text. Others insert a text tag to show the user that the message has an attachment but won't let the user open or access the attachment from the handheld device. You also need to determine the level of directory support each solution provides. For some users, access to the Personal Address Book (PAB) is sufficient; for others, access to the Global Address List (GAL) is a must. (For information about some solutions that can give users enhanced address-list and attachment capabilities, see the Web sidebar "Filling in the Gaps," http://www.exchangeadmin.com, InstantDoc ID 24853.)
Although users' primary concern is probably email, most people will want to use their PDA for a variety of tasks, and some solutions limit your device and software choices. After you determine the functionality that users need on their PDAs, you can determine the types of devices you must support. For example, if opening Microsoft Word documents in color or listening to audio attachments is essential for users, a device such as Compaq's iPAQ or Hewlett-Packard's HP Jornada is a must.
When and where. Next, you need to determine when and where people plan to use their PDA. The answers to these questions will help you decide which level of connectivity you must support. For users who don't need anywhere/anytime connectivity, a simple synchronization solution using a PC-connected cradle might be sufficient. In most cases, however, providing some level of wireless access offers productivity gains and higher user satisfaction.
If users need constant access only while in a specific building or on a specific campus and the building or campus has a wireless infrastructure, you simply need to provide WLAN cards for the PDAs. If users need more far-reaching access, you need to explore a solution that works with a wireless ISP or uses a commercial wireless network. In that case, you also need to consider level-of-service issues, such as exactly where wireless services are available and what type of bandwidth users can expect. Most major metropolitan areas have good wireless coverage, whereas most rural locations don't. If your company does business internationally, you need to evaluate the wireless options in other parts of the world. Solutions that depend on access to an ISP through a cellular infrastructure will probably work internationally, but solutions that use specialized networks probably won't.
Even in metropolitan areas that have excellent wireless coverage, signal strength can be unpredictable inside buildings, and service can drop off or become spotty a short distance beyond city limits. Many wireless-service providers have coverage maps on their Web sites so that you can get some idea of the available coverage. Getting an idea of the signal strength inside a building is more difficult. If the user works in the building's core or basement computer center, for example, a signal might be nonexistent. Conduct a survey of signal strength in key areas (e.g., frequently used airports, users' homes, your 18-story office complex's conference rooms) before you deploy a wireless solution in your production environment. Consider which capabilities a particular solution can provide when wireless service is unavailable because of a weak signal, lack of coverage, or a network failure. A solution that doesn't let users read and compose messages offline definitely won't boost productivity.
Implementation Options and Security
After you answer what, which, when, and where, you have a final question: How? You need to understand how the available solutions provide access to users' Exchange mailboxes and what measures the solutions implement to secure your systems and data. You should examine three "security zones" to determine the security of data stored on the PDA, the security of the wireless data transmission, and the security of access to your Exchange server.
Figure 1 shows the boundaries of these three zones and illustrates the three general implementation models—simple client access, gateway/agent server, gateway/agent server with VPN—that various devices use. The solutions that I'm familiar with use a protocol such as Messaging API (MAPI) or IMAP in Zone 3 to access the user's Exchange mailbox; such solutions work with both Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 5.5. Because Zone-3 access uses an Exchange-supported protocol, the security of Zone-3 communications depends on that protocol. For example, a solution that uses IMAP passes communications (including any authentication) in clear text, whereas a solution that uses MAPI has the same level of security as a connection to Exchange through a desktop implementation of Outlook.
Simple client access. Model A in Figure 1 shows simple client access to Exchange. An example of a solution that uses this model is a POP or IMAP client that connects directly to the Exchange server through the PDA's wireless Internet connection. The advantage of this configuration is that you can implement it with a minimal number of components. Depending on the implementation, however, this model can also have a significant disadvantage: Most PDA-based POP and IMAP clients don't implement Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to secure transmissions between the PDA and the Exchange server, so passwords and data are passed in clear text. Even if you use an SSL-capable client, wireless connections usually have limited bandwidth—generally between 9.6Kbps and 19.2Kbps—so SSL might not be viable because of the added overhead that encryption introduces.
Gateway/agent server. Model B in Figure 1 shows a gateway or agent server that acts as an interface between the PDA and the Exchange server. Examples of solutions that use this type of model include ThinAirApps' ThinAir Server with Groupware Access and Research In Motion's (RIM's) BlackBerry.
ThinAirApps' solution is geared toward Palm OScompatible devices and uses the connection-oriented client/server method of wireless access to Exchange. After a user establishes a wireless connection to the Internet, the PDA connects to the ThinAir Groupware Access server. This server uses MAPI to access the user's mailbox in much the same way that Exchange 5.5's Outlook Web Access (OWA) does. Users of Palm OS devices can load a ThinAir PDA client that offers enhanced functionality, such as the ability to use a PDA-based address book. However, nonPalm OS devices must use a more limited Web-browser interface.
The RIM solution, which uses the proprietary BlackBerry handheld device, implements the agent-based instant messaging access method. The BlackBerry handheld contains a wireless radio transceiver that uses cellular-packet radio networks. Because these networks were designed to support wireless data communications, devices that use these networks are always connected.
As Figure 2 shows, the BlackBerry communicates with a RIM-hosted server; a BlackBerry agent server (on which you install the BlackBerry agent service) communicates with the Exchange server. The agent server establishes one outbound connection through your firewall to the RIM server. After it's established, this connection is maintained as long as the agent service is running and supports communications in both directions for all BlackBerry devices for which the agent server is responsible. Unlike gateway servers, which work through inbound connections from handheld devices, the BlackBerry agent server only initiates outbound connections. Because the agent server doesn't accept inbound connections, securing this solution is easier. (Gateway solutions that use inbound connections can be secure, but the RIM solution is unique in that it doesn't require your firewall to accept inbound connections. You can control a connection from the inside, and you know exactly where the connection is going.)
Aside from considering how solutions that use the gateway model establish communications and which systems the messages pass through, you must consider what an intruder can see as messages move across the communications networks and systems. Both the ThinAirApps and RIM solutions offer end-to-end encrypted communication between the gateway or agent server and the handheld device.
The method that the ThinAirApps solution uses depends on the type of PDA: When a non-Palm device connects, the ThinAir gateway uses SSL to ensure secure client communications (assuming the handheld supports SSL). When a Palm OS device connects to the Groupware Access agent server through the ThinAir client, the client uses Certicom's elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) to generate a security key between the device and the agent server. This type of encryption works the same way as an SSL session but is better suited for use with less powerful computing devices (e.g., PDAs) and lower-bandwidth connections.
The RIM solution uses triple DES (3DES) encryption with a security key that's specific to each BlackBerry device. Desktop software generates a security key from random mouse movements; this software regenerates the key about once a month when the device is in its PC-connected cradle. One copy of the key resides on the Exchange server, and another resides in the BlackBerry's memory. When the agent service or the handheld sends a message, the 3DES key is used to encrypt the message. This system ensures that the BlackBerry and the agent are the only two points in the network that can decrypt the message.
Gateway/agent server with VPN. Model C in Figure 1 shows a gateway or agent server that provides access to the Exchange server similarly to Model B's method. However, this access occurs after the establishment of a wireless VPN session. When users want to access their Exchange mailbox, a connection client (PDA client software) establishes a secure communications channel from the handheld to the wireless VPN server. Users then employ an email client to connect to the gateway server. An example of this implementation is Infowave's Wireless Business Engine and add-on Exchange Connector, which implements the connection-oriented client/server wireless-access method. Wireless Business Engine provides the wireless VPN services, and the Exchange Connector is the gateway to the user's mailbox.
Two significant features of the Infowave solution are data compression and transmission optimization. Not only does Wireless Business Engine provide VPN-like services but it also analyzes the data and selects the best compression algorithm for transmission. The Exchange Connector also minimizes the amount of data that needs to be sent to the handheld: Because the MAPI session is managed on the gateway server, the Exchange Connector sends to the handheld only essential information from the gateway-to-Exchange MAPI session. These features help to compensate for the lower bandwidths available with wireless connections. Just as ThinAirApps' product supports primarily Palm OS devices, Infowave's solution supports primarily Pocket PC devices.
Get Connected
A PDA with a wireless connection can be a powerful tool that can help users accomplish a variety of business tasks. The variety of solutions on the market can bring users' PDAs and your Exchange organization together. Before you jump into an implementation, talk with users to determine their precise needs, then study the available access and connection options to find the most useful and secure solution for your environment.

Jessie J Rocks New Purple Hair — Love Or Loathe? Vote
Jessie J, we hardly recognized you! Although the British songstress is known for her uber-trendy fashion and beauty sense, is this her edgiest look yet? Sound off in the comments and make sure to vote below!
Jessie J, 25, is best known for her incredibly catchy tunes but we're obsessed with her beauty looks! The singer is never afraid to push the envelope and think outside of the box — and we love her for it! This latest look of purple hair is bright and bold — just like Jessie — but do you love or loathe her makeover?
Jessie J's Shaved Head — Dyes Hair Bright Purple
When Jessie J first hit the U.S. scene around 2011, she was known for her straight brown hair with super thick, blunt bangs. But back in March of 2013 she ditched her long locks when she shaved off her hair as part of a fundraising campaign for UK charity Comic Relief.
And since Jessie is always game for trying something new, she's been dying her normally blonde pixie cut lots of bright shades as of late. While she had recently been sporting a bright blue shade, she's apparently gotten bored of the color and has opted for a bright purple instead! She posed for a few photos before taking the stage in Scotland on July 17, rocking a vibrant violet hue.
We absolutely love how bold this look is! While not everyone can pull off a pixie cut and bright dye jobs, we love that Jessie J has the confidence for this statement beauty look.
Tell us what YOU think of Jessie J's makeover below, HollywoodLifers!

Why the High-performance Embedded Workshop don't work correctly?
Latest Updated:09/10/2007
[High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4, V.3] I installed the new High-performance Embedded Workshop to my existing environment, after which software programs developed in the existing environment are no longer executed correctly. Why?
Updating the High-performance Embedded Workshop does not make changes to the toolchains (Compiler, Assembler, Linker) or their options.
In this case, there's no change to the load module file, so the software program should run as before.
The cause of this problem may be due to one of the following operations. These operations make changes to the toolchains and the load module file, thus modifying the behavior of the software program as well.
Have you ever performed any of the following operations?
- Opened the workspace and then changed the toolchain version by selecting
[Tools]->[Change Toolchain Version] menu.
- When using H8C/C++ compiler package V.5.0.03 or V.5.0.04, installed (updated) H8C/C++ compiler package V.5.0.05 or V.5.0.06.
- When using SHC/C++ compiler package V.7.1.02 or V.7.1.03, installed (updated) SHC/C++ compiler package V.7.1.04 or V.7.1.05.
In such cases, please refer to the documents below.

Encouragement is like air -- you can't live without it. Without encouragement, there can be no empowerment for living a full and abundant life.
Everyone needs an encouraging word.
It inspires us to develop faith, hope and love for the future. A discouraging word will steal, kill and destroy us, dragging us down into a sea of mendacity.
That's what concerns me about the state of America right now. We are in short supply of encouragement.
Some recent studies show a decline in America's collective mood. One such study, Rasmussen Reports reveals that nearly half (49%) are pessimistic about America's future. They believe that America's best days are in the past.
I am reminded of a proverb from the country of Ghana which states; "the ruin of a nation begins in the homes of its people."
What it means is that we the people have the power to make our country better or to tear it down with what we think, say and do. Home is where the heart is. If the home is filled with hatred, discord, factions and unrest, then it will produce a chaotic mess.
If we grow up in such a home, we will take the mess with us to our jobs, our institutions and our houses of worship.
Garbage in-garbage out!
We can blame the president, congress and other leaders for the palpable anxiety in our land but we really need to take time out and look at the person in the mirror. It's tough to admit but we the people are the cause of the trouble we're in.
We can and must do better. Yes, I know we have problems that appear to be overwhelming and beyond our control.
The ill winds of uncertainty are blowing the seeds of doubt into virtually every area of our lives; family, neighborhoods, cities, states and the nation.
On all fronts, we seem to be feeding our fears and starving our faith. We can and must do better.
We find ourselves in need of stronger civic and moral leadership; men and women who are willing to believe that the greatness of a nation can begin in the homes of its people.
The circumstances we go through cloud our minds with doubt and confusion. They produce negative thoughts that cause us to look at the world through the lens of sarcasm and cynicism.
Ugh! Such stinkin' thinkin' only pollutes our minds with toxins. We need to cleanse our hearts and minds of such pollutants. Encouragement is an essential element for cleansing the soul.
If thinking makes the person then we should start with developing some encouraging thoughts.
The Bible encourages us to be glad, not anxious about anything. In other words, live life to the fullest.
When things go wrong, or the future looks dark, don't allow anxiety to steal your joy. Keep the faith that you will overcome adversity. Keep your mind focused on achieving your goals.
Faced with daunting life and death situations, the Apostle Paul always maintained a victorious attitude saying; "Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- dwell on such things." So be encouraged!
Think of yourself as being a diamond in the rough. Keep in mind that a diamond is merely a lump of coal that did well under pressure.

Plagued by a sprained left ankle, Nik Vucevic watched the Orlando Magic's shootaround this morning from the sidelines, and his availability for tonight's game against the Miami Heat will be decided closer to tipoff.
"We'll see if he's able to go for us," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said.
Vucevic gave the Heat significant problems last season, but he was limited by early foul trouble this season in the Magic's 120-92 loss to the Heat on Nov. 20. He played a bit better when the Magic lost to the Heat 101-99 in Miami three days later.
The Magic have lost all five games Vucevic has missed this season.
The Heat might have some conspicuous absences of their own...

Critic Reviews for Unstrung Heroes
All Critics (23) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (6)
A very touching film that features great performances all around. This is the type of movie you'll watch and wonder why you've never heard more about it.
Shows how misfits can be necessary spiritual teachers for youth coming-of-age.
Audience Reviews for Unstrung Heroes
Keaton's directorial debut is not bad but not great. I think she suffers from the same problem as Tom Hanks..the need to show something to be loved rather than something edgy. The result is passable stuff but not memorable stuff.

The Abortion Pill
Click here to read and print your Medication Abortion Homecare Packet.
If you have an appointment already scheduled for Medication Abortion at Northland Family Planning, please click here for your pre-appointment instructions, paperwork, and videos. Completing this information will significantly reduce your wait time in the clinic. Homecare Packet can also be found here.
The Abortion Pill…in the Comfort and Privacy of Your Own Home
The Abortion Pill (RU-486 or Medication abortion) is a safe way to end a pregnancy in the earliest stages without a surgical abortion. This is an option for you if you are 10 weeks pregnant or less. Many women choose this method because it feels more natural. They like being at home, having a friend or family member with them, not requiring a procedure or anesthesia and having more control over their medical care. The abortion pill is also a good option for young women under the age of 18 who have adult support, and have never had a pelvic exam. Because it does not involve surgery, a medicated abortion can be perceived as less invasive or distressing for young women.
While the Abortion Pill method is a private experience, it is not one to go through alone. Having a good support system is essential to support your emotional health after an abortion. Understanding what is ahead is important. We hope the following information will be helpful in making the choice on whether the Abortion Pill is the right method for you.
What is the Abortion Pill and How Does it Work?
Using a series of carefully prescribed pills, a medication abortion terminates a pregnancy in the privacy of your home and allows you to have loved ones around you.
The first pill you are given is called Mifeprex (Mifepristone) and is taken in our office. This pill stops the pregnancy from growing. The second set of medications and pain medication are given to you to take at home. These expel the pregnancy. Please understand that in some ways the Abortion Pill process is very uncomplicated, as there is no surgical procedure, no anesthesia, etc. But, taking these pills involves a greater level of participation from you.
Is a Medication Abortion Safe?
Available in Europe and other countries for more than two decades, the FDA approved use of Mifepristone (Mifeprex) or RU-486 in 2000 after testing it for both safety and effectiveness. Since the 1990′s, women have safely used medication abortions to end their pregnancies. It is now used in more than 50 countries.
Is the Abortion Pill Method Right for You?
It's important to understand the differences between a medication abortion and surgical abortion:
- The abortion pill method is more expensive than surgical abortion due to the costs of Mifepristone or RU-486
- The abortion takes place over time; you can choose to complete it in one day or two, whatever works best for your schedule
- A follow up visit and ultrasound is necessary to ensure that the abortion is complete (included in your original fee)
- You will expel the embryo at home
To help you make an informed choice, we urge you to read through this section before making your appointment. More importantly, share your concerns with someone. We're here for you and are more than happy to have a conversation with you as you consider your options.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
When you arrive, you will be welcomed by our staff and be asked to complete informed consent forms and a standard medical history. You will meet our medical team and speak privately with a reproductive health counselor. For your additional safety and comfort, we also:
- Do a urine pregnancy test and an ultrasound to make sure you are 10 weeks pregnant or less
- Sit with you to review your medical history, answer your questions and provide you with a complete explanation of everything involved in a medication abortion
- Our counseling staff will give you an opportunity to talk about any emotional or spiritual concerns
- Our office is a safe place to express your feelings and fears and our staff is ready to listen and is happy to speak with your support person
- You will leave our office with your medications, including a pain medication, and all the information you will need
- The only way to ensure the medication abortion has been completed is to return to us for a follow-up ultrasound
- There is no charge for this visit, and it is vital that you make and keep this appointment
How Do You Know if You are a Good Candidate for a Medication Abortion?
For you to have a successful experience, we use specific guidelines to help determine if medication abortion is a good option for you. All of our patients go through a careful screening process. You MUST:
- Be no more than 10 weeks or 70 days from your last normal period
- Be sure of your abortion decision
- Speak, read and understand English or have a translator who speaks, reads, and understands English
- Live within one hour of a hospital in case of emergency
- Have access to a phone and be able to receive phone calls from us
- Be able to swallow pills
- Have immediate and reliable access to a car and a driver in the event of an emergency on the day of your second medication
- Commit to return to us for a check-up in 14 days and possible multiple visits, if needed
- Agree to have a surgical abortion if the medication abortion fails
- If younger than 18 years old, you need parental consent and a parent/adult as your support person
If you think you would be in danger if a partner or family member discovers that you are having an abortion, we urge you to make alternate arrangements to get to a safe place, like a friend's house, if you need to.
What are the Risks of the Abortion Pill?
A medication abortion has a slightly higher failure rate than surgical abortion, and, if the pregnancy were to continue, the medication used can cause serious birth defects. You MUST be willing to consent to a surgical abortion if the medication abortion fails.
And, crucial to your health: It is only with a follow-up visit and a repeat ultrasound at one of our centers that we are able to determine if the procedure has worked.
What are the Possible and Reasonably Likely Side Effects of the Abortion Pill?
Bleeding and cramping are a normal part of the process. The bleeding can be heavier than a normal period and can last from 9-16 days. In some cases, women may have severe bleeding. If this occurs, you need to contact us immediately. Some women experience pain, nausea, headaches, vomiting or diarrhea.
Who Is Not a Good Candidate for Medication Abortions?
You should not use Mifepristone if your last menstrual period was more than 10 weeks or 70 days ago. Also, Mifepristone cannot safely be used if you:
- Have an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy
- Have an IUD in place (it must first be removed)
- Have problems with your adrenal glands
- Have been treated with certain steroid medications over a long period of time
- Have bleeding problems or are taking blood thinning medications
- Have had a negative reaction to Mifepristone (Mifeprex), Misoprostol (Cytotec) or a similar drug
- Cannot return for necessary visits, including your 2-week follow-up
- Cannot easily get to emergency medical help, should you need it, in the 2 weeks after you take Mifeprex
Note: Women who are breastfeeding should discontinue breastfeeding while taking these medications.
I'm interested, but what else should I consider when making this decision?
Responsibilities at home and work…think about your schedule. Are you available to come in for both appointments and can you stay home for at least one full day immediately after you take your second medication, Misoprostol? While you can choose to use the Misoprostol anywhere from 6-48 hours after the Mifeprex, you will still need some time to recover at home.
Because your abortion will occur at home, it's important to have a support person there with you… someone who knows you are having an abortion and is supportive, and who can drive you to our Center or the hospital in the event of an emergency. Think about what you would like your support person to do for you during your abortion experience.
- Will he or she be able to remain calm throughout this procedure or in case of an emergency? Will they be able to handle the sight of blood, the expulsion of the embryo? How will they react if they see you in pain?
- Where will your children or other family members be when you are going through this process? Do you want them to know? Will they support you?
- We recommended that women who are caring for small children or other relatives make arrangements to have someone watch them during the abortion process. Or, taking the Misoprostol at night might work best for you, while your children are sleeping and your support person is with you
- If you have a roommate, will you have privacy in the bathroom? Do you want your roommate to know?
- It may be helpful to read over and share ideas from our Supporting a Loved One page
You will take the first set of pills at our center, but the second set will be taken at home. There are 2 different ways to take the second set of pills at home; your doctor will review with you what method is best for you. You will most likely pass or expel the pregnancy at home, which means you have to consider how you will react to seeing what looks like a lot of blood in the toilet (when mixed with water, it looks like there is much more blood than there actually is), blood clots and possibly the embryo. Most women don't see the embryo. The embryo can be discharged in a blood clot making it difficult to see. If you do see the embryo, will you want to examine it to say goodbye or do you think you will want to flush it away without looking? Think about how you want this experience to be and be sure to give yourself the comforts and support systems you need to create a positive abortion experience. Consider surrounding yourself with items that make you feel good: videos, books, a bouquet of flowers, music.
Will the Abortion Pill Prevent Future Pregnancies?
Infections, not abortion, are the greatest threat to fertility. Regardless of the method, abortion is more than 10 times safer than childbirth. So, just like after surgical abortion, until your follow-up, nothing is to be placed into your vagina. And, just so you know, you can become pregnant again immediately after this pregnancy ends. If you do not wish to become pregnant, you must abstain from sex or use an effective method of birth control. We can help you select a method that is best for you.
What Are Some of the Perceptions and Misperceptions of Medication Abortions?
"It's a miscarriage."
Some women refer to their experience as a miscarriage rather than an abortion. That is a personal choice, but, as our patient, we want to be sure you understand that you are ending a pregnancy by abortion. And, we want to make sure you have the emotional and moral support you need during this time.
"I can avoid doctors by having a medication abortion."
Some women do not like going to the doctor and think that a medication abortion is a way to avoid seeing a doctor. It is important to know that with any type of abortion, or with continuing a pregnancy, you will still need to see a doctor to have an initial health and pelvic exam, bloodwork and a vaginal ultrasound. Northland Family Planning also employs women doctors, who understand your emotions and physical needs.
If you have ever been raped, sexually abused or taken advantage of sexually and did not get help with your feelings about this experience, please let us know. We can offer special support here and community referrals for help and support.
"My last abortion was a terrible experience, so this will be a better method for me."
First, let's figure out what was okay and not okay about that experience. Perhaps you were further along into the pregnancy, a factor that affects the ease of the procedure. Maybe the physician or staff didn't treat you as you wanted to be treated, leaving you feeling angry. If you felt pushed into the decision by someone and not allowed to explore your own feelings, this may have made the experience more difficult. Think about how you want this experience to be this time, and give yourself the comforts and support systems you need to create a positive abortion experience.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: BE WARY OF THOSE WHO PUT YOUR HEALTHCARE 'ON SALE'! MIFEPRISTONE (MIFEPREX) IS THE ONLY DRUG APPROVED BY THE FDA FOR MEDICATION ABORTION: A different drug, Methetrexate, is being used by some providers for the medication abortion. It is much cheaper, takes longer to work and is less successful. Northland Family Planning uses only Mifepristone, ensuring you the very best and most up-to-date medical care.

The Characters:
Commander Jack Rankin - This guy wouldn't stop smiling if a rabid weasel was in his shorts; he would just grin and give you a thumbs up.
Commander Vince Elliott - In charge of the space station and not very happy Rankin is senior to him. A rash man who gives one Green Slime a hug. (That means he dies.)
Lisa Benson - Woman torn between loving Rankin and Elliott.
Dr. Halvorsen - Head researcher aboard the space station, he gets seriously fried.
General Jonathan Thompson - Gruff senior officer, his main role in this movie is sweating.
Captain Martin - Elliott's right hand man, for some reason he looks natural in a white motorcycle helmet.
The Green Slime - Alien life form which feeds on energy and even a single drop of blood can regenerate into new creatures. Incinerated.
The Plot:
Packing more goofy models and props than most Godzilla films comes this lovely piece of b-cinema.
I still want to know who starched Commander Rankin's face while he was smiling, either the guy is a loon or he's on some serious happy pills. Prozac boy gets things done though; when you have a rogue asteroid hurtling toward Earth he's the man to call. (Not Bruce Willis, mind you.)
When the astronauts land to place their bombs they find the asteroid is inhabited by strange blobs of glowing slime that are drawn to the equipment. After blasting off and barely escaping the massive explosion (Imagine an orange and brown papier mache' ball with half a stick of dynamite inside and you're golden.) the heroes return to Space Station Gamma 3.
Unfortunately, for everyone, some of the slime was carried back on a space suit. It soon evolves into a tentacled creature! So the thing kinda looks like Sigmund the Sea Monster - he never fried anyone with several thousand volts of electricity. (Yes, I know it's the amps that get you.) This gives a nice excuse for Elliott and Rankin to have a power struggle over who is in charge, the latter a firm believer in "shoot first ask questions later."
Another unfortunate fact about Green Slime: even a single drop of blood will grow into a new monster. So now you have dozens of pissed off Sigmunds running around electrocuting the crew, good job Rankin.
In the end humanity is saved by crashing Gamma 3 into Earth's atmosphere, incinerating the Green Slime. Thank goodness something stopped them besides THROWING your laser rifle. The characters often unload at point blank range without effect. Soon as they throw the weapon it goes right through the monster's eye. Even if you don't like watching "spacemen" wearing white 1960's police motorcycle helmets firing "laser guns" at waddling masses of latex monsters you have to love the title song.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
Asteroids look like a Gobstopper which has been under the refrigerator for ten years.
Movies are less interesting from a phone's objective.
Pulsing green muck plays heck with interstellar golf carts.
People can stand up and walk around while experiencing ten G's.
Never let a bitter exgirlfriend tend your wound.
Alien life is best represented by green soap suds.
Space station security guards wear white motorcycle helmets with a little space symbol on them.
Golf carts are not four wheel drive.
Laser rifles work better as spears.
Never hug an ungrounded Green Slime.
Stuff To Watch For:
2 mins - Nice miniatures, ahm.
13 mins - For some reason this scene is making me horny.
25 mins - Bad dubbing!
48 mins - White motorcycle helmets?
64 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A FLASHLIGHT!
70 mins - The explosion took out half of the model space station, but not that flimsy door?
75 mins - Elliott could use some boxing lessons.
83 mins - Jack, I'm going to kick your smiling self in the testicles. What do you think of that?

Starving actors speak out
Elliott: "Now, since that's the way it is, let's be sure that's the way it is, huh?"
Rankin: "You're making a big mistake Lisa. You don't love Vince - you pity him."
Lisa: "I'm very happy with him."
Rankin: "You're lying, you love me."
Rankin: "What a minute. You mean this stuff reproduced itself inside the decontamination chamber and then as we...as we stepped up the current it just grew?"
Dr. Halvorsen: "Precisly!"

I had seen this film when it was first released in 1968 at the Avalon theater in Brooklyn, NY. I was 10 years old. Now to a ten year old back then, this was great stuff . I mean, you got, space stations,rockets, lazer rifles, space monsters and a really great looking movie poster that had nothing to do with the movie !( but she looked cool in that suit). My cousin Robert and I had a bit we did with the movie song at the beginning. we had recorded the audio of the film when it was on the 4:30 movie here in NY and for some reason just as the song ends and the first words spoken are ...Gereral, the tape had a high pitched whoop sound so everytime we watch the movie we both go ...Gereral..whoop!.Looking at it now, you just have to laugh, but for it's time and budget, it was something.

It's a great piece of 70's scifi, which could be redone, into a major scifi event. After all this movie is fun, and packs a nice little punch. What's not to like about this movie, which absolutely doesn't take itself seriously, goes over the top with campy acting and some of the best scifi models around. Some very good actors played their roles to the hilt: Robert Horton, Lucianna Paluzzi, and the Late Richard Jeackel to name a few. I give this film a great recommendation, just beacuse it's a throwback to saturday afternoon matinees, if you want to relive those yester years, you'd be hard pressed to find another film as good or funny. The action in the film ranges from flat out no nonsense militarism, to egg-headed scientist, going ga-ga over a new life form, from the impending doom of the earth being struck by a massive asteriod, to the bickering and infighting jealousy of a pair of unrequited rivals, and a monster that is both unique & deadly, this movie can't be beat.

This is NEARLY my all time favourite B Movie (In my specific genre of Sci-fi "So bad it's brilliant"). It's almost got everything. It's missing gratuitous nudity and zombies (look to LIFEFORCE for the perfect B movie IMHO) but makes up for it with dramatic suspense music ("PING!!!") and somehow girlish monsters flapping their arms about- oh and a theme tune right up there with THE BLOB. But I do have a genuine affection for this movie. I love the scene where they lock the scientist behind the door with the monsters and then open it after they've killed him!!! More of those types of "get your men killed" heroes please!
I hear Mystery Science Theatre 3000 did a pilot episode on GREEN SLIME and is impossible to get hold of. Well I hope they release GREEN SLIME on DVD soon. We need to see the cardboard in digital clarity.
Or how about they remake it, Jerry Bruckheimer style. What a Movie that would be! Or a sequel; GREEN SLIMES. James Cameron could direct.
Shame Arnies past it now, he'd have been perfect as Rankin.
Thanks for the site and the affectionate tribute. You can't take this stuff seriously and actually critise it!
Bring on the DVD!!!
My rating: 9/10 (no nude women or zombies)

I was left thinking: When they were building the space station their had to be some pencil pusher back on earth who thought "They're going to need net guns up there".

I barely remember seeing this movie. My family would go to the Christ-Town Theater in Phoenix just to see Wallace and Ladmo on stage - and this was usually the movie that was playing. I don't remember any of the plot, I don't remember any of the scenes - I was merely trying to win a Ladmo Bag.
If anyone is interested in learning more about Wallace and Ladmo, go to search and type in Wallace and Ladmo. Many websites will pop up - my favorite one is "In Memory of Ladimir Kwiatkowski." You can also join the Wallace & Ladmo Show group at Yahoo. Loads of fun - and maybe even another chance to win that elusive Ladmo Bag!

I missed this first time around. My parents took me to see 2001 but they weren't into B movies.
Objectively the best thing about this movie is the game it spawned: Awful Green Things From Outer Space.
However: I love it. The crap effects and the wooden acting are only matched by the silly story.
More cheese than Cheddar.

I saw this wonderful piece of crap on cable, when cable was just HBO and two TV stations out of Philly. It is interesting to know that Stanley Kubricks classic 2001: a space odyssey was released in the same year and by the same company, MGM in 1968. Was this pure coincidence or, gasp, an intentional plot...

New York: Playing Mantis
• 24 November 2009
The Husband and I stumbled upon this adorable shop last month while visiting New York. The stunning exterior draws you in, and then the simple, beautiful toys keep you there for awhile. I loved their display of play kitchenware in particular. I know my youngest girl would love to have pots and pans like this in her play kitchen. Does anyone know of an online {and reasonably-priced} source for similar toys? Playing Mantis does have a website, but they don't carry everything I saw in the store. I will say one thing though...their collection of mobiles is stunning.

You may try quiethourstoys.com or fatbraintoys.com. My 22m old loves "cooking" and we bought her the green toys cooking set a few months ago and she is getting the tea set for Christmas. They aren't quite as cute as the toys you found in NY, but I liked them because they are food safe (they're made from recycled milk jugs).

we are in the process of creating a kitchen for our 3 girls and i have turned to antique and thrift shops. i've found cookie cutters, glass milk bottles, a rolling pin, and misc real silverware for them to use. we also have tiny pink transferware plates and a sweet ironware milk jug. everything in the kitchen is beautiful and can find a place in our home when the girlies outgrow their play kitchen. :)

Also, a little info for you.
I don't know where you live in Salt Lake City but I saw your post about wanting to learn to speak French. Morningside Elementary school is a public school that has a French immersion program. They have open enrollment starting December 1st. They literally start the kids in 1st grade and ONLY speak to them in French. They go through this program for five years. By the time they are in Junior High school they should be fluent. If your child is in the program, you can volunteer in the classroom and pick up on the language. Just a thought. :)

Another favorite is www.rice.dk/
Yes the name of the store is Rice. :)

Ok. Still thinking of other stores. Schylling makes darling childrens play sets.
www.landodnod.com has a wooden teapot to die for.
But if you really want the same as Playing Mantis you might want to google childrens enamelware. Good Luck!

Ok. Last comment for sure! For small hands also calls this type of products spatterware. The mini mugs are only $2.75 each! Must have. Pretend it's for the baby. Really for me to smile at!

This is getting embarrassing. I should delete all these comments and put them into one big comment! I called playing mantis and they said they will gladly ship anything ( even if it is not listed on the website). The set I am in love with is under the category "wooden.". Kindof weird since it is a pot and pan set. It is only $29!
- November 24, 2009 at 3:56 PM
I had wondered while reading your blog what your children eat for meals? Are they all pretty good eaters? I know a lot of parents prepare one meal for the adults and an entirely different meal for kids. Do you believe in "kid food"? I like the idea of raising my daughter to like all different kind of foods. Any tips to get them eating with the adults?
- November 24, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Target.com has the "Alex gourmet 8 piece Enamel cooking set in red for $26.99. :)

Wonderful tips everyone! Thank you :)
Grace, I don't believe in kid meals. I work pretty darn hard to make a nice dinner every night and I like all my family members to enjoy it. Some they enjoy more than others, this is true. But I too think it's important to help them explore foods and learn to appreciate variety. It takes time but it can be done!

To say I love candy would be an understatement. I really, really love it, and that means I probably eat more of it than I should. With Halloween less than a week away, candy is definitely at the front of my mind right now. I know that I am not the only one with a sweet tooth. Did you know that demand for chocolate has doubled over the past 20 years, but the supply of cocoa beans has remained the same? Tough economic conditions, poor social conditions for farmers, and lower-yielding crops have put the future of cocoa at chocolate at risk. Can you imagine a Halloween without chocolate? That's a scary thought! Thankfully, Nestlé has a plan in place to help sustainably source the cocoa it uses in many of their famous chocolate candies, through the Nestlé Cocoa Plan.
It is a long road for the cocoa to make it into the tasty chocolate bars we so love to eat. Most of the cocoa production is centered primarily in West Africa, starting out as just a pod on a tree. It takes 400 cocoa beans to make just 1 pound of chocolate, and with the world consuming over 3 million tons of cocoa annually, it's no wonder the supply is dwindling. Since 2009, Nestlé Cocoa Plan has been sourcing sustainable cocoa so that 53 million U.S. households can continue to enjoy their favorite Nestlé chocolates for generations to come.
The Nestlé Cocoa Plan is protecting the future of Cocoa by:
- Training 33,000+ farmers in sustainable farming practices.
- Providing over 1 million disease-resistant, higher-yielding cocoa plantlets to farmers.
- Investing $120 million to improve cocoa sustainability globally.
- Initially source 80 tons of cocoa by the end of 2014.
- Build or refurbish 40 schools in the Ivory Coast for children in cocoa farming communities.
This Halloween, we want to support brands that practice making products with sustainable cocoa, but trying to differentiate between companies who do or do not can be a challenge. The easiest way to tell is by looking on the bag for one of these 4 labels:
- Nestlé Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups
- Hershey's Bliss
- Dagoba Organic
- Schaffen Berger
- DOVE Dark Chocolate
You can also find sustainable cocoa in other non-candy products as well:
- Hot cocoa, such as Nestlé Hot Cocoa
- Chocolate milk, such as Nestlé Nesquik Ready-to-drink and powder
- Cocoa powder
- Baking Chocolate, like Nestlé Toll House Morsels (Dark and milk chocolate)
If you would like to learn more about sustainable cocoa, you can read more at the Nestlé Cocoa Plan website.

Away up toward the frozen north lies the great peninsula, which the United States bought from the Russians, and thus became responsible for the native peoples from whom the Russians had taken the land.There are many kinds of people there, from Indians to Esquimos, and they are under the American Government, yet they have no votes and are not called American citizens.It is about this country and its people that this little story is written, and in the hope of interesting American girls and boys in these very strange people, their Little Alaskan Cousins.
errible," said Kalitan, gravely.
"How does that happen?" asked Ted, eagerly, but Kalitan shook his head.
"It is not good to hear," he said. "The medicine-man must come with his drum and rattle, and he is very terrible. If the white men will not allow any more the punishing of the witches, they should send more of the white medicine-men, if we are not to have any more of our own."
"Boys should not talk about big things," said the old chief suddenly. He had been sitting quietly over the fire, and spoke so suddenly that Kalitan collapsed into silence. Ted, too, quieted down at the old chiefs stern voice and manner, and both boys sat and listened to the men talking, while the snow still swirled about them.
Tyee Klake told Mr. Strong many interesting things about the coast country, and gave him valuable information as to the route he should pursue in his search for interesting things in the mountains.

In a study of 197 5-year-old girls, researchers from Pennsylvania State University found that mothers' attempts to control weight may affect their daughters' ideas about dieting.
The girls were asked to define dieting, describe dieting behaviors and discuss links between dieting, weight control and body shape. Those whose mothers reported current or recent dieting were more than twice as likely to have their own thoughts about dieting.

This beautiful tile was done by the late artist, Leone Kuhne. She was internationally known for her works in a variety of medium. The art tile endeavor developed in the 1980's and this one shows her ties to the American southwest. A beautiful Indian woman cuddles her baby in her decorative blanket. The tile is kiln fired and hand glazed and has rich colors and a since of serenity. It is signed L Kuhne on the front and on the back is the Earthtones label. The tile is mounted on a fiberboard backing with a small slot across the top so it can be hung on the wall. It could also be used as a trivet or placed on an easel as an artistic accent. I believe it is from the late 1980's or 1990's.
The tile portion measures just under 6" square is in very good condition with minimal wear and no damage. The label has been partially removed. It is my assumption that there was a price tag that someone removed to possibly give this as a gift.
Priced and sold as the pair.
The pictures are not shown at actual size. Please refer to the description for actual measurements.
