At a press conference on Tuesday morning regarding the Boston Marathon bombing, Sen. Elizabeth Warren did not mention the victims of the attacks or their families. Instead, she praised President Obama.
The President of the United States has pledged his full support in all efforts to keep the city safe and to find the person who did this and bring them to justice. We did not have to reach out to the president. The president reached out to us. He called the governor, he called the mayor, he called the members of the (congressional) delegation, because the president is actively involved here and responding.
Warren thanked the first responders and volunteers who assisted those who were injured following the explosions.
However, she never mentioned the three victims who died, including an 8 year-old boy, or the more than 170 people who were injured, some of them seriously, despite taking time to effusively praise the president.

Second Chance apartments are housing units for teenage mothers and their children overseen by adult supervisors and regulated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD. Second chance apartments offer safe, supportive and secure homes for young women and their children. These units offer physical homes for young mothers, and provide them with access to a network of support services, according to HUD officials.Continue Reading
Most women entering the Second Chance program are victims of domestic violence and abuse or neglect. These women receive the care and support they need from the Second Chance program at the local, state and federal levels of government. Some restrictions apply regarding where women can live, and program offerings vary around the United States. Common ancillary services include education for mothers and children, childcare, counseling and work opportunities for young women and integration with surrounding communities through programs. These housing units exist around the country, but only six states, Nevada, New Mexico, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Georgia and Texas, offer statewide programs.
Eligible women in need of housing may apply for the HUD programs, which generally accept mothers aged 14 to 20. The Second Chance program extends from the 1996 federal welfare law, which requires women under age 18 with children to live with adults and guardians capable of providing financial assistance. However, when those homes prove unsafe, women may apply to the Second Chance program.Learn more about Real Estate

If you've ever been in a long-distance relationship, you know firsthand the challenges of coordinating across time zones to connect with parents, friends and partners. Phone calls are painstakingly scheduled, then spent catching up with a myriad of questions about the day-to-day in an effort to feel closer. Recently, a group of designers proposed a novel way to facilitate that connection: through a set of Internet-connected lights that reflect the weather conditions of another's location.
Called Patch of Sky, the lighting collection was conceived and developed at Fabrica, a communication research center in Treviso, Italy, in a collaboration between six designers, strategists and developers: Leonardo Amico, Federico Floriani, Reda Jouahri, Alice Longo, Akshataa Vishwanath and Giorgia Zanellato.
"Fabrica hosts designers and artists from all over the world, thus distance and nostalgia are naturally recurring topics," explains Amico. "Drawing from these conversations, we had the idea for Patch of Sky, an object that would silently connect people over distance, just by letting them 'share the sky' under which they're living." With that inkling of an idea, Amico and Akshataa invited the other four to join the team; collectively, they brought the project from ideation to fruition over the course of a year, completing it in early 2014.
The lights are made of painted wood and one-way mirror glass, and they come in three versions, for mounting on a wall or placing on a desk. Housed inside each device is an Arduino Uno and custom electronics that control an RGB LED strip. The purchaser of a light must first log in to a website with his or her own Facebook account (sorry Facebook holdouts, you're out of luck), entering a key that will uniquely identify each Patch of Sky device. That device will then be associated with that Facebook user, displaying animations from the account's most recent location. While they have yet to iron out all of the kinks, the Patch of Sky team envisions most customers ordering the product as a gift for a loved one, linking it to Facebook before specifying the recipient's address.
The recipient of the light must connect a small device called the Berg Cloud Bridge to an Internet router. The Bridge will then facilitate a wireless Internet connection with the Patch of Sky—now able to continuously transmit data from the user's Facebook account, pulling his or her location and retrieving the local meteorological conditions from a weather web service. That information is then generalized to one of 11 predetermined weather options, each linked to a lighting animation.
When deciding on the final form for the device, the team first looked to weather-detecting instruments of yore, but found them too complicated. Instead, they mapped out all the feelings they wanted Patch of Sky to emulate, coming up with simple shapes and figures. They decided on the final circular shape and intersecting line for its symbolism of the sun and the horizon.
Each team member contributed to the final product. Amico handled interaction design, software and electronics; Floriani was responsible for the building of three wooden prototypes; Jouari conducted market research; Longo spent time delving into light animations; Vishwanath aided in interaction design; and Zanellato handled the form and product design.
For Patch of Sky's interaction, the designers wanted to avoid screens or notifications in favor of a subtle approach—something as simple as glancing into the lights' mirrored surface. That subtlety proved to be difficult to achieve as the team wrestled with choosing the best balances of color and animation. "The main challenge was to decide which light animation corresponds to which weather condition," Zanellato says. "It was really subjective and it wasn't easy to make every weather animation understandable for everyone." The team labored over different combinations of color and pulsing light, working to make something explicit yet unobtrusive, as Patch of Sky remains on constantly.
The team tested the lights by leaving them on coworkers' desks to get an idea of how it would feel to have a pulsing colored light beside you at work. These tests informed decisions made around the rhythm and color of the animations. For example, the "storm" setting—the lights' most distinctive animation—involves a slow transition between different shades of blue and flashes of white to mimic lightning. "Everybody surely understood the weather condition it represented," Amico says, "but it took several rounds of tweaks for avoiding that people would freak out from its strobe-like effect."
"The challenge was for us to bring a poetic aspect into an interactive object," Zanellato says. "As a product designer, I rarely find technological or interactive objects that evoke emotions and feelings. Patch of Sky uses technology and easy access to information to arouse memories and thoughts. I think that's the beauty of it."
The next challenge is finding a producer for Patch of Sky, which was originally intended as a research project but has attracted a huge number of requests from potential customers. The team is currently in contact with different companies, and it is weighing whether to offer a limited-edition version or to wait until a bigger run is possible. "Our aim is to make it as an affordable product that many people can buy, and to reach this goal we still need to work a bit on it," Zanallato says. For further information or to receive updates on future developments with the project, e-mail the team at firstname.lastname@example.com or follow Fabrica on Twitter or Facebook.

He went from counterterrorism to diaper duty.
An elite NYPD officer assigned to Times Square on New Year's Eve was pulled from his post when his wife went into labor Thursday afternoon.
John Hidalgo and wife Vanessa Felix-Hidalgo, also a city cop, soon welcomed 6-pound Ryan Hidalgo into the world at 12:10 a.m. yesterday — making him one the first babies of 2010.
Hidalgo, 34, was in a high-level security meeting Thursday preparing for a night working security in Times Square when his wife tried to reach him on his cellphone.
At first, he ignored the calls, but when she texted him the news that their baby was on the way — three weeks early — Hidalgo's New Year's Eve routine was turned on its ear.
"My boss was like, 'What are you still doing here?' " said Hidalgo, who works in Manhattan's 13th Precinct near Gramercy Park.
Hidalgo rushed to Nyack Hospital in Rockland County to meet his wife, who was driven there by her mother.
"I'm glad I went — I thought it was a false alarm, and for a minute I was going to stay, but then I changed my mind," said the proud papa.
The new mom, 29, who works in Manhattan's 9th Precinct in Alphabet City, said she started experiencing labor pains at around 3 p.m. Thursday.
"We didn't know if he was going to be a New Year's Eve baby or a New Year's Day baby," Felix-Hidalgo said.
Her husband said, "She was hoping the baby would come before midnight, because of the excruciating pain."
Little Ryan wasn't scheduled to appear so early, but he emerged happy and healthy, Felix-Hidalgo said.
"He's great. He doesn't cry that much — he just eats," said the tired but happy mother. "I'm very grateful he turned out healthy."
Lenox Hill Hospital won the annual race to claim the Big Apple's first baby of the new year.
Marquita Fladger, 34, and Michael Rogers, 37 — who met on New Year's Eve two years ago — named their daughter Thyme after she was born at exactly midnight.

CLARK — On Saturday, Jan. 19, Arthur L. Johnson High School Head Wrestling Coach Rick Ortega was named Union County Wrestling Coach of the Year at the U.C.I.A.C. Wrestling Tournament. The annual award honors one county coach for their achievements both on and off the mat. It is voted upon by Union County's wrestling coaches.
"Rick is a model of what we want and expect from our coaches," said Supervisor of Athletics, Health, and Physical Education Gus Kalikas. "In only two short years, Coach Ortega has turned our wrestling program around not only with results, but with numbers as well. He is heavily vested in both the recreation wrestling program in the community of Clark. We are thrilled that he was honored by his peers as the Union County Wrestling Coach of the Year and are extremely proud of his wonderful achievements in the sport of wrestling."
Ortega, a Governor Livingston alumnus, won the State Championship at 130 pounds as a senior in 1993. He has been involved with the Arthur L. Johnson High School Wrestling Program for the past seven years, the last two as a head coach.
Arthur L. Johnson High School's wrestlers had a strong showing at the tournament. The team won two individual County Championship bouts behind the efforts of Charlie Hudak (126 pounds) and John Coler (138 pounds). This was the first time in years that Arthur L. Johnson High School has had multiple County Championships in the same year.

the death of a child … a parent's worst nightmare…
The magnitude of unbearable pain … your life vanishes…
Your Questions…
- Are you tired of recycling emotions in your grief and suffering?
- Do you believe your loved one is on the other side but are you concerned and continue to worry about them?
- Do you want a sign and/or wonder why you haven't received signs from your child?
- Are you wondering, how do I and can I ease this constant pain and suffering?
You Know…
- Your grief is unfamiliar territory
- You've questioned your sanity, your survivability, your strength
- Life as you knew it is now inside out, upside down and shattered
- Grief is overpowering and devastating, leaving you hopeless, helpless and it affects your whole being
You Have Experienced…
~ no pain more excruciating
~ no life event more emotionally intense
~ no life situation more indescribable
~ no words to define what happens to your body, mind and spirit.
You couldn't have prepared yourself for the intense pain and you know you will never be the same.
You Want…
How can you identify your feelings let alone search for them? How can you rebuild your shattered life?
You need hope… You need solace… You need comfort… You need peace…
You Need Answers…
The question is, how do you find them? No one fully recovers from grief but… with time, support, understanding and opening your heart you can learn to live with a scarred heart and choose a new life.
You Need the How…
Since my grief journey began in 2000, I have learned that your heart is the path, the hub of love and life. In grief, we need inspiration, support, a process or map to rediscover our hearts.
My search has been guided by direct spiritual connections that spoke directly to my pain and assisted in the rediscovery and recreation of a new life that I'd love to share with you. We can help support you in the discovery that
~ there is no death (and you still have a relationship with your child)
~ that you can come back to life … and
~ we can help you discover peace after a life-altering grief.
There is no "new normal" in grief! You can repair, renew, rebuild, recreate and reframe your heart and your life but you will not return to your "old normal." When your child dies, grief becomes who you are…but… you do not have to be controlled by your grief.
Let's talk and see if it's time for you to recreate your new life, to discover your self-compassion, your new heart, and your peace after grief.
Step One:
Download the "My 2 AM Friend" in the box above. Although journaling may not be your cup of tea, starting with and using this journaling tool will be your first step in preparing yourself for the re-creation of you. You will also begin receiving the monthly "Living Differently," a newsletter of grief tips, ideas, messages, and new thoughts.
Step Two:

As part of this nomination, I'm supposed to answer 11 questions :
Here are your questions:
- What is your real-life super power?
- Automating things in Excel. I've been using Excel & Access since I started my first accounting job at the age of 15 (I'm 30 now). I use these programs for basically everything – balancing my checkbooks, planning vacations, family budgets, wedding invitation lists, work, you name it and I will manage it using either program. I also use these programs to double check my work, automate a portion of it, and track my deadlines. I don't like to do "simple spreadsheets," I love to create forms where the information just feeds into other tables and presents the data in a "pretty" and easy to read format. I can't help it!! 🙂
- How do you use this power?
- Work – personal life – vacation – help others – keep myself organized.
- What do you dream about?
- I don't recall my dreams regularly, when I do they either give me insight on an issue I'm facing OR they take me to my happy place. My happy place is being home with the kids, usually we are in the kitchen baking something, we have flour all over our apron and our body – in a cute, I had fun way. The children and I go outside to hang their paintings for drying, then we will garden for a bit. In the evening my husband (I'm married in my dream) comes home and we dance to whatever music we decide to put on the speaker system. Our family is close knit, involved in a nonprofit, and have God at the center of our home.
- What makes you wince?
- People with bad attitudes. I'm too sensitive – delicate – I don't take well to people crying over spilled milk and making everything grander than it needs to be. I have my moments, but I try to laugh more than I get upset. I try to deal with things as best I can and try not to explode at every little frustration and take away from the joy of the moment. It's not worth the hassle or aggravation, life is short.
- If you can go back and change one thing about your life, what would it be and why?
- I would change past financial decisions. Overspending was my way of coping at a young age. Material things gave me the "love" that I was missing for a long time. Since this gratification was short lived I quickly wanted something new to make me feel better, and I continued spending, without regard of the impact it would have on my future.
- How were you raised to think about money?
- That it was unlimited. When I was really young my mother struggled with two jobs to help us survive. Then around high school things turned around, she had a career. From there we tried to make up for all the luxuries we couldn't give ourselves in the years before, and in that time I lost respect for money. I didn't care how much something cost, if I wanted it I had to find a way to get it. If that meant overextending myself so that I could be happy, then that was exactly what I would do.
- If you're a parent, how do you teach your children about money?
- My daughter completes chores in exchange for $ (from $.25-$1); making her bed, helping empty the dryer, putting dishes in the sink, vacuuming her room, getting certain behavior colors at school. At the end of the month I take her to the store of her choice and she's able to buy something with the money SHE earned. If she doesn't have enough we take a picture of the item and make a chart for her room of how much additional money is needed for the purchase. She will then work "bonus assignments" to help her reach her goal OR she'll have to wait until the end of the month. Sometimes I help cover whatever she's short if it's not too big a deal.I want her to learn to save to buy instead of buy and pay later – big mistake I've made!! We also agree that she has to give old toys to goodwill and put money aside to donate at the end of the year.
- If you make more than enough to cover your basic needs, travel, and some savings, has more money beyond basic needs/travel/some savings made you more happy?
- Money can bring peace of mind by freeing us from the chains of debt. Right now things are tight because we are planning a wedding and we don't want to incur debt for this big event. However, when we've had breathing room – we weren't HAPPIER because of the money. I admit, we had more experiences – traveled with the family – provided without worrying about how much and enjoyed life more. However, the reality is we have the tendency to want more money, spend more when we have more, and basically end up in the same mess we were in. Just like getting a raise, how many people continue living on the lower level income and put the raise into a savings account? Very few – and if they do it's usually later in life when they've already been burned. Assuming one isn't super rich with many streams of income.
- Do you give to charity or research? Why or why not?
- I donate – I make monthly contributions to Dynamic Catholic and World Vision, and weekly contributions to my parish. The ministry I am a part of has fundraising events for Mission Hope and St. Jude when these agencies send out requests for items/donations. I donate in acknowledgement of the blessings I have, thanks to God. I donate because I believe in the mission statement of these organizations. I donate because we never know when we might be in desperate need and would be impacted tremendously if someone extended a helping hand towards us, so I try to extend that hand to others. I donate because we can make a difference in this world, and this is one way of helping others.
- You have a magic wand. If you could zap into existence one thing to make your finances better, what would it be?
- Wipe my debt. I'm almost free, but it's still there. As a single mom who paid her way through my Bachelors I accumulated a substantial amount of debt. After certain difficulties I basically said I don't care and overextended myself. Poor relationships put me in a position of a provider and worsened my finances for some time. Can't wait for 2017!! Woohoo!!
- With this magic wand, what else would you create to make your life better?
- I would talk to God directly. For YEARS I've been asking God to just spell it out for me, tell me what His recommendation is. Take from His infinite wisdom to live a different life. Ask Him questions on those fuzzy areas. I would live my life differently if I had a direct phone line 🙂 but who knows if I would eventually take this for granted and get myself in a worse situation.

Seedy Birdhouses
Artist Jeff Canham makes birdhouses from the wrong side of town, including bail bondsmen, head shops, and psychics. Other sections of his portfolio include classic sign paintings and logo designs.

Great bird house, birds are very enjoyable to have around the yard and home. When you atract a bird into your bird house it is fun to watch the birds on a Nature Cam and save the video on your computer. The Kids really enjoy it and watch them for hours. http://www.denalibirdhouses.com/BirdHouseSpyCam.asp
Now that is my side of town
I am in love with every single apropos bird pun on those birdhouses.
So cute! Now I want to make one of my own. I'll put it on my long list of wants before the fall term starts.
LOL - I did that a few years back. I had three houses that I felt were to cute. So I made them into "flop houses" because after all the birds were living there free of charge.

Restore LS-XL from scratch
This page shows how to restore the original firmware on a LinkStation LS-XL which does not boot (because the system has been damaged, or the drive has been replaced). The instructions should also be applicable to other similar devices.
System configuration
These instructions are for Windows systems (mainly because the Buffalo firmware updater apparently does not provide access to debug options on other systems). They were tested on Windows 7 64-bit. Your mileage may vary.
Important note
This process works if the LS-XL's hard drive has a completely empty partition table. Result is not guaranteed in other cases (actually, result is never guaranteed. Do this at your own risk!).
This means that you may need to take the unit apart (possibly losing your warranty). Before formatting the disk, you may try to recover the data you had stored on it.
To remove the drive's partitions, you may use the Windows Disk Management Console.
Required software
- LS-XL firmware updater (choose "Firmware Release 1.65 - For Windows" or equivalent in the Download tab)
Network configuration
Configure the computer's Ethernet interface to use the static IPv4 address 192.168.11.1 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0 (No need to specify a route). Connect the LS-XL directly to this interface.
Firmware extraction
Uncompress the firmware updater somewhere, and open the
ls_series-165\LinkStation_FW1.65 folder. Make a copy of
uImage.img and
initrd.img, rename the copies
uImage.zip and
initrd.zip respectively.
- From
initrd.zip, extract
initrd.buffalowith the password
- From
uImage.zip, extract
uImage-lsp.5.x.buffalowith the password
aAhvlM1Yp7_2VSm6BhgkmTOrCN1JyE0C5Q6cB3oBB. Rename this file
Note: If your device is not a LS-XL, see this page to find which files are necessary for your device and how to get them.
Create a folder named "TFTP". Put
initrd.buffalo and
uImage.buffalo in it.
TFTP32 configuration
Start TFTP32, click Settings, and configure it as follows:
- GLOBAL: Check "TFTP Server", "Syslog server" and "DHCP server", and uncheck the rest. (The syslog server is not strictly needed, but it allows seeing the boot messages of the rescue OS, which can be useful to debug issues)
- Set the base directory to the
TFTPfolder you created earlier.
- Set TFTP Security to Read Only
- Set "Bind TFTP to this address" to
- Set the base directory to the
- Set "IP pool start address" to
- Set "Default router (Opt 3)" to
- Set "Mask (Opt 1)" to
- Set "Bind DHCP to this address" to
- Set "IP pool start address" to
Booting the rescue system
Once TFTP32 settings are saved (and TFTP32 restarted), you can plug in the LS-XL.
- After around 10-15 seconds, The "Tftp Server" tab should indicate that the boot files are being uploaded to the device.
The process should take around 10 seconds.
- After around 30 seconds the rescue system will request an IP address from the DHCP server. TFTP32 will show the allocated address in its "DHCP server" tab.
The boot messages will be available in the "Syslog server" tab.
The LS-XL blue LED should also stop blinking.
Keep TFP32 opened for the rest of the operations.
Firmware restore
ls_series-165\LinkStation_FW1.65, open
LSUpdater.ini in a text editor, and add
[specialflags] debug = 1
at the end. Run LSUpdater.exe. It should find the LS-XL at the IP address given by TFTP32's DHCP server.
Click on the LSUpdater system menu icon (the two rings in the top left corner of the window) and choose Debug.
Choose the following options:
- Deselect the four checkboxes in the "Update" column
- Select "Do not check version", "Rebuild partition table" and "Force update" in the "Config" column.
After around 10 minutes, you will get the message "Linkstation has been updated". You should now be able to connect to the LS-XL with the IP address given by TFTP32's DHCP module, usually ***192.168.11.2*** (or put it back on your network and access it as usual).
The Web interface is in Japanese. You can change the language by doing this:
- On the login screen, fill the two fields with the username ("admin") and the password "password", and click the login button underneath (ログイン).
- Click on the fourth upper tab (システム), the first lower tab (基本), and the third box (言語設定). Click the button in this box (設定変更); see the attached image for details.
- Set your preferred language in the drop down menu, and click the lower left button (保存) to confirm.

For many years I have kept in touch with my offensive brother only because I wanted a relationship with my grown nieces. Now he and his wife and stepdaughter will be moving near where I live. I don't want to have anything to do with him and have no problem telling him so (although, oblivious, he'll call about getting together as soon as they're here). My nieces, in their early 30s, will want to visit both of us, and I've got to figure out how to handle this. I've thus far chosen not to tell them that I can't stand their father. I don't want to put them in a terribly awkward place or lose them.
M.S. / Northampton
Ugh, I'm sorry. It sounds as though distance has done the job of diplomacy for you for many years, and I wish it could continue to do so. But the time for tactful evasions is over, and you need to be explicit with everyone that your brother is not part of your life. You sound firm in your conviction to do this with Brother Horrible, for which you receive an April shower of Miss Conduct kudos. Tell him your boundaries: He's not welcome in your home, and you will not be taking his calls, period. Don't let him drag you into a pointless go-round — and don't let yourself be tempted to dredge up all your old grievances against him. He's not in your life. That's it.
And that's all your nieces need to know as well: Aunt Letterwriter and their father aren't on speaking terms, but Aunt Letterwriter loves them and enjoys spending time with them. They don't need to know how much you hate Brother Horrible, or why. What they do need to know is that your lack of a relationship with your brother is not a problem to be fixed — and certainly not a problem to be fixed by them — but the solution to a problem.
Miss Conduct is Robin Abrahams, a writer with a PhD in psychology.Send your questions to Miss Conduct at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Chrissyb, excuse my ignorance but is your PCD the abbreviation for a dentist? If not, I was going to recommend you discuss this with your dentist. I have never had mouthsores but partner has and all they did for him was to tell him to use an over the counter mouthwash like Biotene. What you really need to do is get your dentist or primary doctor to look at the sores and give you some idea of what they think is causing them. For just general mouth sores we all get periodically, what you are already doing seems like what we would be told to do until it clears up. However, I would want some answers from my dentist or primary care doctor as to what they think is the cause if you have them for an extended period. I noticed that Arimidex can cause "dry mouth" and that Biotene liquid is what I was given for dry mouth some time ago. You might want to ask your dentist/doctor if they recommend it before you use it if you decide to get it. Best of luck to you!

Vulture TV Awards: The Year's Best Drama Is Hannibal
We've reached the end of our week-long Vulture TV Awards, honoring the best things television served up in the past year. We've singled out Amy Schumer, Julianna Margulies, and others actors for their solid performances, given props to director Cary Fukunaga for a particularly wonderful scene from True Detective, and welcomed the likes of David Milch and Amy Sherman-Palladino as guest judges. And without further ado, Vulture TV critic Matt Zoller Seitz makes his pick for Best Drama.
The nominees are:
The Americans
The Good Wife
Mad Men
Orphan Black
And the winner is ...
WINNER: Hannibal
(Spoilers follow for season two.)
It's no longer surprising to come across a scripted drama that's written, directed, shot, edited, and acted with great skill, but it is surprising to find one that takes the tonal and stylistic risks that Hannibal takes each week. Nothing on this Bryan Fuller drama is supposed to be taken at face value. Every frame unfolds in a dream space in which feelings and sensations are more important than facts. It's an emotional procedural.
The subjective storytelling and flagrantly unreal atmosphere make what might otherwise be an unbearably gruesome spectacle not just tolerable but fascinating, at times weirdly stirring, in the way that a depressing opera or brutal fairy tale or Greek tragedy can be stirring. Hannibal showcases the most hideous violence ever seen on commercial TV — some of the murders and mutilations make the ghastliest stuff on True Detective and The Following seem mild — but because it's all shot and directed with an aesthete's love of color, texture, and light, it feels a touch abstract, at times defiantly figurative. The blood is photographed as if it were oil paint, the flesh like clay or wood (or latex, which much of it really is). The crime scenes are paintings, sculptures, and multimedia installations. The FBI investigators, led by Hugh Dancy's Will Graham and Laurence Fishburne's Jack Crawford, are art critics looking for influences, patterns, and evidence of a movement. The title character is a secret master and mentor, the private architect of an invisible school of mayhem. To paraphrase one of my favorite Roger Ebert quotes, this show is not just about what it's about; it's about how it's about it.
Hannibal took risks right out of the gate, but in season two the storytelling grew wilder, verging on chaotic. The writers killed off major characters willy-nilly. The carnage approached American Horror Story levels. And yet there was a horrendously beautiful anti-logic to the tale's construction, with key characters circling around each other, playing each other, and at times seeming to merge, via clever filmmaking, with each other (and with supporting characters). Two sex scenes between Hannibal, FBI psychologist Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas), and Alana's great secret love Will Graham were edited to make it seem as though the three were having a ménage a trois. Another sequence cut between Will's conversations with Hannibal and Jack to make it seem as though they were, respectively, the devil and angel on his shoulder. This devil has tormented so many puny mortals, indulging his fantasy of acting with the sadistic indifference of an Old Testament god. The finale is a voluptuously drawn-out bloodbath whose intensity exceeds the most delirious violence in Brian De Palma and Mario Bava's Grand Guignol thrillers. Hannibal's house looks as though Jackson Pollock committed seppuku there. Bodies are cut, bruised, mutilated; there's blood everywhere. All hope seems lost, Satan is victorious but on the run, the building and climax and resolution are all deliriously pulpy, verging on deeply silly, and yet the effect is intoxicating and moving, because the actors and filmmakers believe so completely in what they're doing.

Grinding Gears and Writing Another Task Force 125 Story
My plan was to write a fun bit of pulp fiction for NaNoWriMo, sort of a Zombieland with a romantic twist. I am 10,000 words into it and have come to realize through email, Facebook posts, and Amazon.com comments, my readers would prefer another Task Force 125 story.
While I'd love to finish my current story, I am so grateful for my readers that I think I should give them exactly what they want.
Tonight I am switching gears and plotting out the next Task Force 125 story.
All you readers who wanted more Task Force 125, prepare to learn some intimate details about Brian Allen (and I mean INTIMATE) and learn just why this former Navy SEAL is as cocky as he is.
I'm going to try to make up the time and get this story done during NaNoWriMo so it can be edited and published in December. If you don't see my word count meter moving, feel free to call me on it!
Have you read this far and are still wondering why I posted the picture of Hugh Jackman? Well, that's because, in my mind, Brian Allen looks like Hugh Jackman and talks like Matthew McConaughey. Brian is a Texas boy after all!
Time for me to jam!
Feel free to comment if you have anything to say about Brian, Hugh or Matthew, even if it is just "Hubba-Hubba!"

TrimTabs/BarclayHedge Survey of Hedge Fund Managers - January 2014 Survey
January's survey of hedge fund managers finds sentiment on equities has darkened notably since December — bearishness on the S&P 500 over the next 30 days is at a five-month high and bullishness is at a five-month low. Half of respondents expect equities to outperform bonds and precious metals over the next six months, a notable downturn in the past month. Sentiment favoring developed markets hit an all-time high, while the outlook on emerging markets sank to a record low.
Four-fifths of managers remain neutral or bearish on 10-year US Treasuries this month, though bullish sentiment rebounded in January from December's three-year low. Bullishness on the US Dollar Index spiked to a 20-month high, reflecting the Federal Reserve's tapering of monetary stimulus.

Sanyo Xacti SH1 Full HD camcorder
An affordable and attractive Sanyo HD camcorder with a 23x optical zoom
- Classy and compact design, 23x zoom lens, good video performance for asking price
- Some minor build quality issues, small sensor struggles in poor lighting
Bottom Line
The Sanyo Xacti SH1 is an attractive entry-level HD camcorder that performs well for the asking price. It will suit casual users and fashion conscious videographers.
Price$ 599.00 (AUD)
The Sanyo Xacti SH1 (AKA VPC-SH1TAR) is an entry-level Full HD camcorder that records MPEG-4 video to removable flash memory cards. Its main claims to fame are a powerful 23x optical zoom lens and ultra-compact size. For an asking price of $599, it's a competent little performer that will satisfy the majority of users.
The Sanyo Xacti SH1 is surprisingly attractive for a budget camcorder. It sports a traditional camcorder shape — as opposed to the 'pistol-grip' design favoured by the Xacti HD1010, Xacti VPC-CA8 (EXBK) and Xacti VPC-CG9. It has an eye-catching red and silver finish, but if red's not your bag you can choose from a multitude of other colours, including black, blue, yellow and purple.
In addition to looking great, the Sanyo Xacti SH1 is also incredibly compact: it measures a minuscule 42x59x118mm and weighs just 209g. By contrast, the Canon Legria HF M31 — which we complimented for being svelte — measures 68x60x123mm. The Xacti SH1's smart looks and portable size make it an ideal handbag accessory (er, or jacket gadget for the blokes).
While it certainly looks fashionable, the Sanyo Xacti SH1's build quality could be a bit better. We were especially disappointed by the cheap connectivity flaps: it's easy to accidentally jam the battery door, for example. The dangling lens cap can be a bit of an annoyance too, but these are small quibbles given the budget price tag. All in all, the Sanyo Xacti SH1 looks better than any budget HD camcorder on the market.
For menu selection, Sanyo has stuck to a traditional joystick interface, as opposed to a touchscreen. The menu is well laid out and very beginner friendly -- there are no symbols or quirky phrases to memorise; instead everything is in plain English. There's a respectable array of modes and features on offer, including manual focus, exposure and white balance, face detection, nine scene selections, a colour targeter and a handful of digital effects.
The Sanyo Xacti SH1 boasts a 23x optical zoom, which is above average for a Full HD camcorder; most high-definition cameras come with 15x zooms or lower. This allows you to capture close-ups of distant objects or people with zero loss in image quality — although you'll need to practice keeping your hand steady at full zoom.
The Sanyo Xacti SH1 did a pretty good job when it came to video quality. We previewed our footage on a Pioneer KURO PDP-C509A plasma TV and were satisfied with the results. Our outdoor test shots were full of detail, while colours remained bright and accurate. Its performance took a nosedive in dim environments, however — a side effect of its solitary 1/3.6in CMOS sensor. Nonetheless, for a budget camcorder we think it acquits itself well.
Sanyo is touting the Xacti SH1 as a 'Dual Camera' due to its ability to capture both photos and video. This is something that practically every camcorder on the market offers; apparently Sanyo didn't get the memo. The still image mode has a maximum native resolution of four megapixels (which can be boosted to 10 via interpolation software). It also comes with an inbuilt flash, a red eye remover and eight ISO settings. Its output will prove suitable for Facebook and other social networking sites, but medium and large prints are probably best avoided.
In addition to SD/SDHC, the Sanyo Xacti SH1 is compatible with SDXC memory cards. This is a faster, higher capacity format that can hold up to 64GB of memory.

When I learnt to pronounce this, I challenged my kids to say it! It was a tough tongue twister for them… But a tongue and soul soother with its caramalized taste. Amma used to make chocolates at home using milkmaid. And hence I used to always attack the refrigerator and have a few spoonfuls each time… Blogosphere introduced me to dulche de leche and all the rave reviews written about it made me wanna try making it at home. It was like magic turned the condensed milk into this caramelized goodness. I simply couldn't wait till the tin cooled and I could catch a glimpse and taste it.
I followed methods from here and here:
I used Amul Mithai Mate.
Remove the plastic lid and place the tin in a pressure cooker. Pour water and let the tin be immersed in water. Water should be about 2 inches above the tin.
Close the lid, cook on high flame and wait for steam to come out. Put the whistle on. After the first whistle, simmer and let it cook for 30-40 mins. Remove from flame. Let it come to room temperature and dig in to indulge in sheer bliss.
Watch this space for more on what I made with Dulche De Leche!!!

Posting: Volunteer youth coaches needed.
The sign remains the same. The requirements for volunteer youth coaches, in most cases, have not.
The National Youth Sports Coaches Association is one organization responsible for the positive metamorphosis of the youth coach-player relationship.
The NYSCA`s goal, simply put, is ``to educate volunteer coaches that there is a lot more to coaching than just X`s and O`s,`` according to NYSCA Broward Director Dan Keefe, one of five Florida directors. Since 1982, Keefe has certified approximately 1,500 coaches in Broward.
NYSCA programs include educating volunteer coaches; orientating parents into the coach-parent-player relationship; helping new leagues with administrative techniques; fund-raising; and educating game officials. Since 1981, the improvement of the coach-player relationship has been the NYSCA`s top priority. Coaches are trained in the psychology of coaching, along with first aid and in
jury prevention. NYSCA-certified coaches are covered with $300,000 in liability insurance. And after completing the certification course, coaches sign a national code of ethics pledge.
Several NYSCA programs recognize the coaches who best live up to the code of ethics. A selection committee involving the NYSCA, Gatorade and the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society annually chooses the 50 outstanding baseball and softball coaches of America.
The NYSCA is not the only example of certification for youth sports coaches. The city of Fort Lauderdale Parks and Recreation Department, for example, will soon be reviewing the American Coaching Effectiveness Program for possible implementation.
Although few cities have made NYSCA certification mandatory, some do urge their coaches to obtain NYSCA approval. Many individual organizations -- including the Hollywood Optimist Football League, one of the country`s largest independent youth leagues -- have made NYSCA certification mandatory.
``The psychological well-being of a young athlete is so important,`` said Keefe, Wilton Manors Parks and Recreation supervisor. ``You have to remember that you`re dealing with young kids. Many of these kids are in their first organized sport, and that first experience is crucial to their understanding of a game and willingness to return to that game. If they have a bad experience, they might not try the game again.

Spring is a time of growth, new birth and transformation, so it only makes sense that it is also the season of our annual O'More Fashion Show.
Day and night, our corridors are a swirl of beautiful fabrics, trimmings, ribbons and other embellishments as our students prepare for the May show. They are immersed in our college's mission to create designs that transform the world, and it is exciting to work alongside them.
These students are why the faculty at O'More do the job we do. They are dreamers, yet they have their feet firmly planted on the ground.
Our students may come to O'More with the dream of showing their work at New York Fashion Week someday, but they soon realize the extreme amount of blood, sweat and tears necessary to make success happen. They dig in and rise to the challenge.
Our students quickly understand that, in order to make a real impact, it is not enough to just make pretty outfits. Well-constructed, well-made and beautiful design begins with extensive research and solidifying a target market where a need is not being met.
This is a process called design-thinking and it is at the core of O'More's curriculum. Before ever picking up a pair of scissors, students are challenged to empathize with the needs of the person who will be wearing their designs.
Sometimes that need may be simple functionality, such as protection from the elements. But sometimes the need is much more significant, something that influences the user's life every day.
Disability in particular is often overlooked by the design world. Clothing becomes more complicated when a person is confined to a wheelchair or blind and using a cane. In anticipation of the Fashion Show, we are challenging our students to apply the design-thinking process to help these individuals who are often forgotten by fashion.
Perhaps the most exciting development coming out of this challenge is the partnership with GiGi's Playhouse-Nashville, an achievement center for those with Down's Syndrome. Eleven of O'More's junior design students are being paired with a child with Down's Syndrome aged 6 to 10. By developing a relationship with the child first, the O'More students begin to better understand their individual likes and needs.
At the culmination of the semester, each child will showcase their custom outfit at the annual O'More Fashion Show.
Students spend months fully immersed in the design process, determining executable designs, appropriate fabrics and a realistic timeline, all before draping and patterning can begin. But at the core of every step, no matter how tedious, is the realization of a design with the power to transform – whether that be comfort, function, or even a life.Read more at:http://www.marieprom.co.uk/cocktail-dresses-uk | http://www.marieprom.co.uk/evening-dresses-uk

Sample Certified Nursing Assistant test questions include, "Who developed the Hierarchy of Needs?" "What senses do nursing assistants use to observe patients and residents?" and "Which risk factor places patients and residents at the greatest risk for falls?" The written portion of the CNA test is typically multiple choice and has between 50 and 70 questions.Continue Reading
CNA tests have two segments, a skills portion and a multiple-choice written portion. The written part of the exam contains between 50 and 70 questions covering 11 subjects, including emergencies, observation, CNA roles, personal care skills and caring for all ages. Other topics covered are reporting and abbreviations, safety and managing behavior, infection control and blood-borne pathogens, and legal and ethical issues. In most areas in the United States, test-takers must achieve 70 percent or higher to pass this part of the exam.
The skills part of the CNA test usually also has a passing score of 70 percent and has a higher failure rate than the written exam. At least five skills are typically tested during a 35- to 45-minute period. Skills that might be tested include washing hands, measuring blood pressure, making an occupied bed and applying a catheter. Test-takers are graded on skill knowledge and overall demeanor when performing the procedure.Learn more about Career Aspirations


text: The author states that nurses are aware that every one has a spiritual dimension to their persona. Even those who would claim to not believe in God under any name have a spiritual space inside. In many cases though those same nurses find themselves unable to respond to these needs and do not know where to turn to for help.
