Celebrity Wedding :: Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner
You may or may not have already seen their wedding photos, but I just had to share these anyways! Ivanka Trump married Jared Kushner this past October 2009 in a breathtaking autumn affair designed by none other than Preston Bailey himself.
I've always been a fan of Ivanka and respect her greatly for being a savvy business woman; therefore, I naturally couldn't help but gush over her gorgeous wedding photos! Ivanka wore a custom designed Vera Wang wedding gown inspired by Grace Kelly. She topped off her look with jewels from her very own jewelry line, the Ivanka Trump Collection.
For more inside details regarding the planning of Ivanka's wedding, check out her interview with Brides.com

a story from my childhood
Friday, July 24, 2009 by Chris
my dad was a big nascar collector. occasionally would bring me to driver signings at local hooters restaurants. one time i asked my dad about what was it that made the cars stick to the track when they went into the high banked turns. my dads buddy bob chimed in and told me that it was centrifugal force, which just so happened to be the same force that made the waitresses hooters wobble all around the place. hilarity.
i really wasn't much older than that kid up there. kinda wish i had a picture of myself at a hooters as a child. i also wish that more hooters waitresses were as cute as the one up there.

I've met some mad keen – and venerable - vegetable growers in the past year. And sensed a theme.
First, though, they seemed almost taciturn, even grumpy. Then with the turn of a spigot I unleashed their inner passion – unwittingly.
I am very bad at small talk, but in the past 12 months I met these 3 wonderful – and elderly – men, all from the north-west Mediterranean area, and I uttered seemingly magical words...`do you like to garden?' Abracadabra – we have entered a code word: Oh yes, and it always seems to be for vegetables, madly, keenly for vegetables, with a lifetimes experience and a wealth of knowledge which they are keen to share.
One explained how he was the first person to grow kale in this country (he wasn't impressed with my Tuscan kale by the way, saying it doesn't do well through winter (I'm not sure if I agree)); the next told me how to protect my broad beans from wintry winds (corrugated sheets upright around them if I remember correctly) then the other day another quiet man lit up as we began to chat. He'd grown a huge tomato last summer - `how big do you think?' he demanded. `A kilo, half a kilo' I ventured hesitantly. `Two and a half kilo' he replied with enormous satisfaction. `No! Did it taste nice?' `Yes' `How? water, manure?' `Lots of water'.
So I told him about how high my pea plants were...and we agreed that we preferred growing summer vegetables.
Great stuff.
(And why, by the way, are vegetables seen as blokey while flowers are more likely to be grown by women?
Just asking.)
I may be bad at small talk but now I'm going to ask everyone: `Do you like to garden?'

The aims of this study were to analyse body composition, to detect the presence of undernutrition, and to establish a relationship between undernutrition and the biological markers routinely used as indicators of nutritional status in hemodialysis (HD) patients (pts). We used a body composition monitor (BCM) that expresses body weight in terms of lean tissue mass (LTM) and fat tissue mass (FTM) independent of hydration status. From nine HD units, 934 pts were included. Undernutrition was defined as having a lean tissue index (LTI = LTM/height2) below the 10th percentile of a reference population. Biochemical markers and parameters delivered by BCM were used to compare low LTI and normal LTI groups. Undernutrition prevalence was 58.8% of the population studied. Low LTI pts were older, were significantly more frequently overhydrated, and had been on HD for a longer period of time than the normal LTI group. FTI (FTI = FTM/ height2) was significantly higher in low LTI pts and increased according to BMI. LTI was not influenced by different BMI levels. Albumin and C-reactive protein correlated inversely (). However neither of them was statistically different when considering undernourished and normal LTI pts. Our BCM study was able to show a high prevalence of undernutrition, as expressed by low LTI. In our study, BMI and other common markers, such as albumin, failed to predict malnutrition as determined by BCM.

This is a top-notch relish without the price tag because all the vegetables are now in season. Caponata is an Italian condiment with infinite variations, so I thought I'd give it a local tweak with vegetables in season here. Can be served as part of a vegan Ploughman's lunch, or an accompaniment to a sandwich, or a side dish at dinner, or as part of a buffet. It's an obliging little dish which you can take anywhere!
3 tbs olive oil
2 medium onions
100g garlic stuffed olives, sliced
1 x 400g can of chopped tomatoes
2 tbs cider vinegar
200g baby courgettes, cut into 2 cm baton
200g baby aubergines, diced
2 tbs light brown sugar
zest and juice of an orange
salt and pepper to taste
25-30g fresh basil
- Fry the onions for the caponata in the oil until translucent (5-8 minutes). Stir in the olives, tomatoes, baby courgettes, baby aubergines, zest of the orange and the sugar whipped into the orange juice. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Take it off the heat.
- Chop the larger leaves of the basil and stir into the mixture, then when you have decanted the caponata into a pretty bowl, garnish with the smaller leaves. This is best served a room temperature, so if you want to make it in advance take it out of the fridge half an hour before serving, and garnish with the little leaves at the last minute.
Tesco have brown sugar and basil on special at the moment, so if you can access one, this will cost £7.52 if you do not have cider vinegar in the house. As always, this factors in all ingredients except the oil. I was wondering, do you have websites which search supermarkets' prices where you are living? They're so useful if you are on a budget. I use mySupermarket here – do you have something similar?

"La La Land" and the Quest to Have It All
When I heard about La La Land, the Greatest Generation old fogie living inside of me got really excited.
I was born in 1982, but I grew up watching a lot of classic cinema — and much of it was musical. By the time I was 10, I had seen Top Hat repeatedly and was scouring the local Blockbuster Video to discover other Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly musical offerings. The Gay Divorcee, Swing Time, Easter Parade, The Bandwagon, Summer Stock, Royal Wedding, Shall We Dance, Three Little Words…the list of my childhood movie musical diet plays on, brimming with cinematic Astaire deep tracks.
My movie musical fervor even led me to sign up for park district tap dancing lessons and, when I was the only male 10-year-old in a room full of 4-year-old ballerinas, my mom arranged for private lessons. I was never any good, but it sure was fun. Later in life, I discovered the joy of swing dancing — which I'm decent at — and finally satisfied my thirst to feel how Fred felt as he glided across the dance floor.
This is all just a long way of proving my movie musical street cred and explaining why I was looking forward to what La La Land might add to the genre.
La La Land opens on a jammed Los Angeles freeway, and you immediately get the feeling that everyone is about to burst into song. This is a musical, right? Sure enough, LA traffic is the perfect excuse for all the beautiful, pastels-wearing drivers to jump out of their cars and engage in an elaborate and exuberant (seemingly one-take) song and dance number that ultimately leads us to our protagonists, two distracted drivers antagonizing each other on their way to their disparate and ultimately despondent destinations.
If you thought this opening musical spectacle was an indication of what the rest of the movie would deliver, however, you were wrong. (Hint: I was wrong.)
While there were a couple more whimsical dance numbers and a few more songs interspersed, La La Land is not a traditional movie musical. And, in a way, that's kind of the whole point. This is Oscar bait, after all. It can't just be fluffy singing and dancing. There has to be a point with a capital P.
So La La Land sets out to offer a modern take on the classic musical genre. Like many musicals before it, the film is visually stunning with swirling cinematography whisking you off to an idealized version of always sunny Los Angeles that makes you want to pack your bags and head west immediately. There is also some magical singing and dancing erupting from every day situations to provide that movie musical escapism that these days seems reserved for the Muppets or Amy Adams or Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
But the movie musical veneer ends there and the modern-day sensibilities creep in. Millennials are so much more complex than Gene Kelly could possibly have imagined.
Don't expect every plot point to be advanced with a song. And don't expect Sebastian and Mia (La La Land's incarnation of Fred and Ginger) to fit into the standard musical progression of boy-meets-girl, boy-pursues-girl, boy-gets-girl, boy-and-girl-live-happily-ever-after. There are more choices and more outcomes these days.
And that's the overriding theme of La La Land. Life is a series of choices and those choices affect your path — and who's on the path alongside you. While this isn't groundbreaking social commentary, it's perhaps the first time that a stylized movie musical has gotten its hands dirty delving into "life is complicated" territory like this. If you think you can have it all, you're living in…well…La La Land. Mia and Sebastian briefly trick themselves — and us — into thinking that they can achieve a technicolor balance of artistic fame and a rock-solid relationship, but eventually they are forced to choose.
The metaphor is unwittingly extended by the filmmakers when you realize that the movie can't have it all either. The first half of the film has the best of a classic musical — witty dialogue, the thrill of the romantic chase, some passable original songs, and a few dance numbers that might not win any points for creativity or complexity but are nevertheless refreshing to see on screen.
As Seb and Mia realize that there are forks in the road to their respective dreams of success, the movie starts to drag a bit, and you wonder if the first hour was just a song and dance to engage you in an emotionally overwrought love story that you've seen a million times before.
Thankfully, the last third of the movie kicks it back into fresh territory, as the film posits that it might just be impossible to get the sugar-coated ending that Fred Astaire musicals virtually guaranteed…but it also satisfies its movie musical forebears by cleverly giving you that ending as well.
It also poses a bunch of existential questions on success and happiness. How do you measure professional success? Is it doing what you love? Is it being commercially or financially successful even if you have to sacrifice some of the details of your dreams along the way? And what is worth sacrificing at the altar of success? Personal relationships? Artistic freedom?
The film's conclusion definitely conjures up feelings of what might have been, but also seems to stress that what is is just fine, too.
Perhaps the most provocative question of all is posed to those who feel they are happy and successful: If you had made different choices at crucial points in your life, would you be even happier or even more successful? Are you less happy and more successful? Vice versa?
La La Land won a bunch of Golden Globes already and today was nominated for several more Oscars. While the presence of my five-month-old daughter has largely prevented me from seeing any of the other contenders this year, the movie at least deserves recognition for putting new dancing shoes on an old formula and ultimately delivering more than just a throwback musical. There's also a really catchy new John Legend song, a beautiful, jazzy score, and a wonderful cameo by J.K. Simmons.
Finally, La La Land left me pondering an existential question about my own life: What might have happened I had kept up those tap dancing lessons?

Interaction of internal waves with a horizontally inhomogeneous density field area overlying a ridge
Thermohydrodynamics of the Ocean
- 16 Downloads
In the context of the general linear theory, we consider the propagation of an internal tide across a frontal zone overyling an oceanic ridge. For a uniformly stratified ocean, the solution was derived using Riemann's technique. The dependences of the generated internal wave amplitudes on the stratification parameters and bottom topography were determined. We have found that wave disturbances of high intensity inside and in the neighbourhood of the ridge may be concentrated in raytype areas. An increase of the horizontal density gradient in the frontal zone results in a perceptible deformation of these areas.

This set contains 1204 pieces, 2 instruction manuals totaling 150 pages, and is recommended for users age 16+. By far, this is the most complicated Lego set I have ever built.

The WSJ had a good article, written by a report hospitalized for a week with pneumonia, for a cost of $100,000+, on effective but expensive hosptial medical equipment. One observation was that, unlike other industries, new medical equipment seems to augment, rather than obsolete, old equipment, so the capital bill just rises and rises. It seems to me that this expensive equipment absolutely should be run around the clock. Shift-based discounts could be given if you were willing to come in for a CT scan at, say, 3 AM.
Likewise for airplanes and airports. Given all the problems with airport congestion, why are there no flights between 10 PM and 6 AM??

There are few flights between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. (8 a.m., in some places) because of:ReplyDelete
1. lack of demand--unless you're traveling coast-to-coast or internationally, the airlines can't fill an entire plane (making it worth their while)
2. local airport zoning rules that prohibit aircraft of certain sizes from flying between those hours

Gabriel Esteban was in attendance as well as several members of the Seton Hall and South Orange community. Msgr. Anthony Ziccardi started Mass by suggesting those in attendance "pray for the living and those who are deceased." The Mass made mention of the three individuals, Frank Caltabilota, John Giunta, and Aaron Karol, who lost their lives in the fire, as well as those who survived. The service included a reading from Associate Provost and Dean of Freshman Studies, Tracy Gottlieb. Ziccardi noted that while the community may still be grieving they should be consoled. "Frank, John, and Aaron, they would have us be so," Ziccardi said. Ashley Duvall can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

MacCready Gossamer Albatross
First Man Powered Flight Across the English Channel
To sustain level flight, the Ablatross required at least .25kW of power to the propeller. This factor alone ensured that the pilot had to be at peak fitness in order to complete the cross-Channel trip successfully. As well turning took another 20% more power.
Human Powered Flight
From the earliest of times man has dreamed of flying by his own means, even Da Vinci had such dreams and made designs as early as 1490. By the 1920s man was able to make successful human powered flight, though never making any great distances.
Clear up to modern times we still have had such dreams, and in the late 70's the dream was truly achieved. The Gossamer Albatross, designed by Dr. Paul MacCready, on June 12, 1979 flew across the English Channel piloted and powered by Bryan Allen. MacCready had been designing sail planes since the mid 70s his first major success was the Gossammer Condor which set a distance record of a 1 mile flight in 1977. He took up construction of these planes in response to a challenge made by industrialist Henry Kremer. Two years later another challenge was offered and met with the crossing of the English Channel.
|Paris, July 9, 1921: Gabriel Poulin and his Aviette at Longchamps racecourse, where he won 10,000-franc Prix Peugeot, the first prize for human powered flight.
Unlike just about any other flying craft, the machines that emerged from MacCready's workshop were built with one aim in mind: to break records.
The first of these the Condor, had a wingspan of 96 feet and was a pusher design, with a large two-bladed propeller mounted at the back and an auxiliary aero foil placed well forward. The pilot sat in an enclosed cabin directly below the main wing. For the record breaking flight which took place at Shafter, California, championship cyclist Bryan Allen was chosen as the pilot. On the hot August day in 1977, he flew the strange-looking Condor between the two pylons in 7 minutes 2.5 seconds.
Two years later, with Henry Kremer's challenge to fly across the English Channel, MacCready and his team build an improved version of the Condor, the Albatross. In many respects it was identical to the Condor and once again Bryan Allen piloted it on the journey. He landed at Cap Gris-Nez, near Boulogne, after pedaling 23 miles over the water.
Gossamer Albatross in flight over the English Channel.
The Gossamer Albatross landing at Cap Gris-Nez, Near Boulogne, after pedaling 23 miles over water.
The Gossamer Albatross in its record setting 1 hour 9 minutes, and 3 second flight over Harper Dry Lake, California.
Crashes like this were common with the Condor.
The Albatross had similar problems which lead Bryan Allen to say "The Albatross has crashed three times in the last 1/2 hour of flight testing. On two the these occasions I have suffered minor injuries... I think that you possibly have not realized that the philosophy of "fly, crash, repair, and fly again" which was used in the early stages of the Condor project is no longer a valid method. The pilot is going to maimed or killed if this philosophy is used on an aircraft which can so easily be popped up to 30 or 50 ft.
As well such a philosophy wouldn't work on his long journey across the English Channel.
The aircraft was powered using pedals to drive a large two-bladed propeller. Piloted by amateur cyclist Bryan Allen, it completed the 22.2 mi crossing in 2 hours and 49 minutes, achieving a top speed of 18 mph and an average altitude of 5 feet.
The aircraft is of unusual "canard" configuration, using a large horizontal stabilizer forward of the wing in a manner similar to the Wright brothers' successful "Flyer" aircraft. The Gossamer Albatross was constructed using a carbon fiber frame, with the ribs of the wings made with expanded polystyrene; the entire structure was then wrapped in a thin, transparent plastic (mylar aka PET film). The empty mass of the structure was only 71 lb, although the gross mass for the Channel flight was almost 220 lb. To maintain the craft in the air it was designed with very long tapering wings (high aspect ratio), like those of a glider, allowing the flight to be undertaken with a minimum of power. In still air the required power was of the order of 300 W, though even mild turbulence made this figure rise rapidly.
The aircraft was designed and built by a team led by Paul B. MacCready, a noted US aeronautics engineer, designer, and world soaring champion. Gossamer Albatross was his second human-powered aircraft, the first being the Gossamer Condor, which won the first Kremer prize on August 23, 1977 by completing a specified figure-eight course.
MacCready's team built two Albatrosses; the back-up plane was jointly tested as part of the NASA Langley/Dryden flight research program in 1980 and was also flown inside the Houston Astrodome, the first ever controlled indoor flight by a human-powered aircraft. The Albatross II is currently on display at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington. The aircraft used in the channel crossing is on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Udvar-Hazy Center.
Solar-powered variants
A follow-up to the Albatross was the solar-powered Gossamer Penguin in 1980. The Penguin airframe had been built by the MacCready team as a third craft for the cross-channel attempt; in most of its dimensions it was three-quarters the size of the Gossamer Albatross, and was held in reserve as a speedier if slightly higher-powered alternative to be used if it were found that the Channel weather precluded success by the slower-flying Albatross. The Penguin was fragile and not very airworthy, but led to a better aircraft, the Solar Challenger. Designed by Paul MacCready, the Solar Challenger had a wingspan of 47 feet and a mass of 198 pounds. Its wings were covered with 16,128 PV cells, with a total output power of 2,600 watts, about enough to drive a pair of hair dryers. The Solar Challenger was capable of reaching an altitude of 12,000 feet . On July 7, 1981 the aircraft, piloted by Steve Ptacek, accomplished the 163 mile flight from Paris to Manston in the UK.

Two bits of news out today which show the contrasting fortunes of the digital industry.
Sales of digital radios were down dramatically in December.500,000 were sold last month that was just half the amount sold in December 2007.

More than 3,000 Broward County residents met Saturday`s deadline and registered to vote for the Nov. 8 presidential elections.
The opportunities to register were plentiful as registration sites were placed throughout the county at shopping malls, restaurants, 7-Eleven stores and government offices.
``It was very good,`` said Jane Carroll, supervisor of elections. ``In our offices today we did 2,017.``
Carroll said the other sites also did well: 295 people were registered at Burdines in the Galleria; 450 to 500 at the Broward Mall; and nearly 200 at the mobile unit at Macy`s in Plantation. There were 35 other sites.
``We have not tallied all the 7-Elevens because they`re not all in,`` Carroll said.

Joe Zomar, veteran film and TV special effects technician, died May 23 of lung cancer at Tarzana Regional Medical Center. He was 76.
Born in Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1929, Zomar and family relocated to Los Angeles when he was three.
After World War II service in the U.S. Coast Guard, Zomar returned to Los Angeles and began his career in earnest by working on the John Garfield-Lana Turner film "The Postman Always Rings Twice."
He was later part of the effects team that created the rain for the Gene Kelly dance sequence in "Singin' in the Rain."
Zomar also worked on features such as "Oklahoma Crude," "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing" and "Little Big Man."
When the studio system began to wane in the 1950s, Zomar alternated between film and television, working on numerous TV series including "Gunsmoke," "Have Gun, Will Travel" and "The Addams Family."
Additional film credits include "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and "1941."
He is survived by his wife, Gloria, a son and daughter, two sisters, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Family suggests donations in Zomar's name be sent to the Motion Picture Home.

|Investors Stampede to Exit Greek Equities
Fear is growing across Europe that the Greek's will, in the end, default on their debts
Equity markets shifted into reverse gear after two sessions of gains as investors turned wary in the face of mounting concerns over the sovereign debt issues surrounding Greece.Futures continue to fall and will likely continue to fall for some time until ECB ministers and private investment can come to a consensus.
French banks came under the scrutiny of rating agency Moody's because of their exposure to Greek debt. Moody's placed BNP Paribas, Société Générale and Crèdit Agricole on ratings review, focusing on their holdings of Greek government and corporate bonds.
"These are further reminders that a disorderly sovereign default could have ramifications across the global financial system," said Jim Reid at Deutsche Bank.
Futures added to losses Wednesday after consumer price index rose in May and amid worries over a new aid for Greece resurfaced after the euro zone finance ministers failed to forge a deal.The herd is stirring, they smell the danger and the fear and they grow increasingly fearful themselves. Where to go? What to do? How do I save my money?
Euro zone ministers will meet again next week to find an agreement, with the voluntary involvement of private investors the main sticking point.
Will the last one out of Greece, please switch off the lights? Thanks.

March 8-14 is Georgia Census Awareness Week
Today kicks off the beginning of Georgia Census Awareness Week. I'm sure to some this may not sound like the most interesting thing around, but trust me when I say you want to participate in the Census and you want everyone else to participate as well!
You may be wondering: "So what's the big deal about the Census, why is it so important and how does it directly impact me?" Here are the key points:
- The census helps paint a portrait of America by showing how the country evolved over the past 10 years and what America needs for the next 10 years.
- The 2010 Census is more than just a population count. It's about the future and well-being of our community and country.
- Census data are used to reapportion seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and for the subsequent redistricting of state and local governments.
- Census data help to determine how more than $400 billion per year in federal funding is distributed to tribal, state and local governments for important social services that affect local communities like ours.
- Census data can help fund services for people in poverty, establish facilities for people with disabilities, determine locations for hospitals and senior centers, and forecast transportation needs, such as new roads and public transit options.
Boiled down: The Census determines how much money and representation your community gets! I can't think of anything more important to ensure the well-being of your home and family than knowing you are properly represented in the government and that your community is getting the federal funding it deserves.
The best part is it's so easy to do this! Census forms will be mailed to homes in mid-March and should be returned promptly, basing your household information off who is living in the home and where you will be living as of April 1st, 2010. The mailer is 10 questions long. That's it! Who knew getting government funding for your communities could be so easy? For information on a national level, check out the 2010 Census website.

WASHINGTON — Dramatic cockpit voice records released Tuesday indicated that the pilots of an American Airlines jet that crashed in New York last year after hitting turbulence from a larger plane futilely attempted to regain control, unaware the tail fin and both engines had sheared off.
"Hang onto it. Hang onto it," Capt. Edward States directed co-pilot Sten Molin, who was flying the Airbus A300 when it began a series of lateral rolls about one minute after American Flight 587 left John F. Kennedy International Airport bound for the Dominican Republic on Nov. 12, 2001.

Not getting happier
>> Saturday, March 01, 2008
I'm not opposed to simplifying games--to the contrary, I have an admiration for streamlined games. But there's a difference between "simplified" and "dumbed-down." A complicated and nuanced game can have very simple rules.
But that character sheet rubs me wrong. Maybe I'm biased. Maybe it's not even a real character sheet, maybe the demo games they're running are using stripped-down, bare-bones character records. But I've got a bad feeling about this. Oh, who am I kidding? I've had a bad feeling for months.
Anyway, judge for yourself.

So, after meeting a bunch of beautiful bloggers in London last weekend, and being the only non-blogger there, I have decided that I am going to start my own blog!
Ok, so I did have a different blog about the highs and lows of being a student nurse, but writing about my work got me really wound up and bored me. ALOT. This one will hopefully combine my two loves- shopping and makeup/beauty products/clothes.
The aim of the game this time around is to review different products that I buy (or given to review if this works out!) and tell anyone who will listen to me what I think.
So yeah, thats it really! Thanks for reading and hopefully my first post will be up by tomorrow afternoon!

We have been a fan of Xin Wang Restaurant in SM Mall of Asia. From the first time we tried it, we already came back thrice already, I think. Only because we love their menu!! But aside from their heavy meals, their Kaya Toast really caught our taste buds. And my husband also love it, mind you. Being him as a grumpy – as I call him on my other posts 😉 Whenever we are in the area, he always wanted to go there and have a "merienda" with the Kaya Toast.
Kaya toast is a popular snack amongst Singaporean and Malaysians. It has coconut jam, a pread of eggs, sugar and coconut milk and flavored with pandan on toasted or fresh bread or cream crackers. Butter or margarine may be spread as well – Wikipedia.
This one from Xin Wang has coconut jam and butter only (I think). We love it because it's not too sweet and even if it's full of butter, its not greasy. And even we took one of this home, the butter didn't melt!! Amazing! The combination of the coconut jam and the butter is just perfect for its toasted bread.
We even brought them and have them as a snack while watching the Pyro Olympics competition. 😀
This is perfect whenever we just want to rest and sit while having a good-light meal and just listen to each other's stories.
Verdict: 4 thumbs up!!


text: There are many sad things to be seen, and heartbreaking stories to be told here in Mongu; many injustices and unfair happenings. Every day since being here I have experienced a small part of this heartache, by hearing or being a part of someone's story. This sorrow, however, I have learned is not nearly as powerful as the sound of a child's laugh, or the precious sight of a chubby-cheeked grin. These moments leave me recharged, and completely captivate every part of my being. When I can sneak one of these smiles out of a hurting child, for that moment the burden I carry of people's suffering is relieved; it makes every difficult experience I've had since being here somehow seem worth it. When a child laughs, all the sounds of pain and loss within the hospital are silenced. In a corrupt and impure world, it is refreshing to witness the innocence of a child's happiness, even if it is within the confined walls of a hospital ward. In moments of frustration and sadness, it is easy to forget that there are good things in this world; there are joyous moments to be found within difficult times of hardship. There are no words to explain what a hug from a child feels like here. When a tiny pair of arms binds tightly around my shoulders, or I feel their fingers wrap around mine, my heart swells and I become the patient. I am the adult, the nurse, the one who is supposed to comfort and reassure THEM, yet they hold a power that could effortlessly heal the world of its pain. There is a lot to be learned from the children here on the pediatric ward. Many of their lives are filled with anguish, hunger and a suffering most of us will never understand, yet they are able to appreciate and find joy in the simplest of things, such as a stream of bubbles from a wand. I'd like to think that I have made an impact on some of these children's lives these past few days in the Pediatric unit. If I can give them half of the happiness that they have given me, I will have been a part of doing something great in this world.

"This is the easiest and best water challah recipe yet! The recipe is very forgiving and seems to come out great no matter what. You can substitute your choice of flour or sugar or oil. Add or substract any combination of seeds you want. If you use spelt flour, be prepared for a very very sticky dough. But don't worry, it still comes out great!"
Bat-Sheva's Sephardic Challah
0 recipe photos
READY IN:3hrs
YIELD:2-3 loaves
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 1⁄2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons caraway seeds (optional)
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons anise seeds (optional)
- 2 1⁄4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 cups luke-warm water
- 5 cups bread flour
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- If you are using any combination of the seeds you may toast them in a skillet over moderate heat for a few minutes but it is not necessary.
- In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour and yeast with the olive oil, honey, and water, and mix on low speed until a very soft dough forms. Add the salt and all but 1 TBS. of the seeds [if using] and mix on medium-low speed, until dough is soft and supple, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until dough has doubled, about 1 hour.
- Put parchment paper on one large or two small baking sheets. Dust parchment with cornmeal if desired. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and press to deflate. Cut the dough in half and let rest for five minutes. Shape dough as desired. [If using spelt flour it may be too sticky to braid. It can be made into a single 'rope' and 'coiled' or just placed in pan for oblong or rounded loaves.].
- Transfer shaped dough to the baking sheet or sheets and cover with plastic wrap for about 1 hour, until nearly doubled.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk the egg with 1 TBS. of water. Brush over the loaves and let stand uncovered for 30 minutes. Brush again with egg wash and sprinkle with reserved seeds. Bake loaves in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, until they're golden brown. Transfer to racks and let cool completely before slicing.

The Glory Of The Kirov Ballet DVD|
The Glory of the Kirov assembles footage from a variety of Russian sources--some of it, including moments from the early careers of famous defectors such as Nureyev and Baryshnikov, was previously suppressed and thought lost. The Kirov Ballet and Opera of St. Petersburg, and their earlier incarnation as the Maryinsky, have always been the Bolshoi's principal Russian rival and an impressive nursery of talent. This profile includes silent footage of the Ballet Russe's Tamara Karsavina doing her barre exercises as well as a classic extract from Ulanova's White Swan pas de deux in the 1940s. The 1960s are heavily represented here with extracts from Glazunov's Raymonda and Khatchaturian's Spartacus as well as even more famous repertory such as Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet and Petipa's choreography for Le Corsaire. There are also two versions of Fokine's Dying Swan, one from Olga Moiseyeva and a performance from Makarova whose sublimity almost makes us forget the tasteless arrangement of the Saint-Saens score for strings and Hollywood choir. This disc encapsulates the greatness of Russian ballet in its Soviet period as well as some of its lapses of taste. --Roz Kaveneyfrom£15.71 | RRP:

In preparation for tonight's first of three Hedge Fund seminars, I have come across a little piece of information that I frankly found rather startling.
According to an August 21st report from Goldman Sachs, "The typical hedge fund has an average of 58% of its assets invested in its ten largest positions compared with 33% for the typical large-cap mutual fund, 24% for a small-cap mutual fund, 20% for the S&P 500 and just 2% for the Russell 2000 Index (see chart to your left*)."
Let me state that again: 58% of the assets of the typical hedge fund are concentrated in its ten largest holdings.
Investment Strategy Implications
While it is understandable that the purpose of many hedge funds (versus your garden variety mutual fund) is to provide concentrated holdings, the consequences of such a portfolio strategy utilizing highly liquid, publicly traded stocks, the same highly liquid, publicly traded positions held by garden variety mutual funds and other traditionally constructed portfolios, is an area requiring further investigation and analysis. A point I intend to pursue during the upcoming three hedge fund seminars to be conducted this week. More to follow.

Saddam Hussein's dramatic reappearance on television Friday was clearly calculated to rally supporters throughout Iraq and the Arab world. But whether the man who was mobbed by well-wishers on the streets of Baghdad was a look-alike or the real dictator, his survival to date makes little difference in the overall course of the war.
Coalition troops were less than 15 miles away from the site where Mr. Hussein was taped hugging babies and giving high-fives. U.S. forces had occupied the country's major airport. Two of Iraq's Republican Guard divisions had collapsed. The regime had lost control of much of the country.

Let's see...First of all, Arissa is doing terrific! Her incisions are looking great and her energy level is pretty good. She had to go to the eye doctor yesterday and our fears were confirmed..the kid needs glasses. So, she picked out a super cute pair of glasses and she should have them in 7-10 days.
Isaiah's eyes seemed fine (and the insurance won't pay for an exam until 2009) so he'll go back in a year unless something changes between now and then. I wish I had some great glorious news to share about our boy but that isn't the case. His midterm came home with less than stellar grades. That's all I've got to say about that.
Steven is still trucking along and remains the only constantly healthy member of our family.
I saw my neuro on Monday who fell wretched about my Topamax ordeal and apologized all over himself. I appreciated his words and could tell that he took it personally what I have been through. He is planning to report my case to the manufacturer of the drug. He is also contacting my insurance company to fight for Botox approval. This is a tried and true method for me and he feels he has a pretty good shot given the Topamax nightmare. He is also sending me for a sleep study to see if that is a culprit in the migraine mystery. Yesterday I saw my PCP about my knee and other items. The MRI came back normal but he said my knee is clearly NOT normal and is sending me on to a specialist. He does feel that surgery WON'T be necessary so I am thanking God for small blessings. Unfortunately, I have lost more weight (this much I knew) and when I explained my symptoms and typical day he felt that it wasn't a matter of my body getting used to food again (that should have improved weeks ago) and that I need to be seen by my GI. I also got a script for a sinus infection. I told him what was wrong with me, the medicine I needed and the dosage. He said while I am a complicated person, at least I know what I need and also know when to ask for help. I took that as a compliment.
And so...the saga continues.

I received a call this afternoon that an ex of mine committed suicide last week. He'd just turned 30. I first met Jonathan when I worked for Wells Fargo Bank back in 2000-2001. I was 35 and he had just turned 21. In spite of our age difference, we shared a lot in common, including unfortunately drugs. In fact it was safe to say that drugs fueled the relationship, added fire to the violence, and scarred us both. He went to jail in '04 and that ended the relationship, though a friendship of sorts endured for another few years. When I met Damon, John was happy for us, and sadly, when Damon went to prison (for a crime he committed in another state, one I knew nothing about), John was there for me, and when Damon was killed in a prison fight, John consoled me.
In spite of our oil and vinegar relationship, we loved one another, we just couldn't be together for any length of time. The last time I saw him was on my birthday in '08. As usual, he happened to show up when I least expected it, and though it had been some time since I'd seen him prior to that, we fell into a comfortable routine of arguing and sex. We exchanged a couple of emails, he mentioned something about moving to Georgia and that was the last I heard from him.
In spite of that, not a day has gone by when I haven't thought about him, wondered how he was doing. Sure, we put the function into dysfunctional, but when we weren't arguing, there was nothing we couldn't do. When he went to jail, I was the only one who went to visit him; I was the only one who wrote him. I was his only contact.
I still have the letters he wrote me, and in fact was reading through them the other day, and wished I knew where he was and what he was doing. I wanted to tell him about everything that was going on, with Bandersnatch, with Barbed Wire Kisses, with everything.
I'll never get that chance now, though somehow, I hope he knows, and hope he understands how much I loved him and always will.

Web rePlay is the first web macro recorder for everybody. It works just like a VCR, you push the record button, start surfing, push the stop button when you're done. No programming needed. You can even assign an IE toolbar button to your most used macros (unique feature on the market) in order to replay them at any time with just one click!
Web rePlay does more than just storing your login information!
There are many applications that log you into your web account automatically. Web rePlay does much more than that. It also records actions you perform after login. For example, to see our web site statistics we have to login to our hosting control panel then push "marketing" button then push "View statistics" button, and then go to the current month. So there are 3 more clicks after login! With Web rePlay you can play all this sequence with just one click!
You don't have to remember passwords anymore!
Anytime you reach a login page and enter your id and password Web rePlay offers to store the login information for you. So the next time you will be on that page you could complete the login form automatically, with just one click!
Web rePlay stores your login information onto your hard disk, encrypted with strong industrial algorithms. This way you don't have to remember passwords anymore or to keep them into a vulnerable text file.
Web rePlay extends dramatically IE "bookmarks" capabilities because you can bookmark pages available only after you login.
