It sounds like music fans in Canada will soon have an additional outlet to stream Justin Bieber. According to the Wall Street Journal, Spotify is looking to expand its music-streaming service to the North American country, with an eye on moving into Asia and South America at some point as well.
Spotify's "annual account filing" allegedly outed the company's secretive plans. The move, according to the filing, is to "further consolidate its position as the world's largest music-streaming service," the WSJ wrote. Spotify didn't confirm the expansion, but a spokesperson did tell the WSJ that it "of course plans to launch in new countries." The Swedish-based service is currently available in 15 countries, including the U.S. and the U.K.; its most recent expansion was in Australia and New Zealand.
The service, which launched an iPad app in May, currently has over 30 million registered users, and it's safe to assume that number will only increase when it's available in Canada, hopefully later this year.

So last week, we all bore witness to the now iconic photo of Kim Kardashian baring it all in the latest issue of Paper magazine, that was an effort in attempts to #BreaktheInternet.
In the same week, a rover managed to land itself on a comet (a truly iconic moment in history), Taylor Swift released a new album that (SHOCKER/finally) wasn't about her "long list of ex-lovers" (not "lonely Starbucks lovers". You're welcome.), and most importantly, the creators of the Emoji app are finally giving the people what they want: TACO EMOJIS FOR EVERYONE!
However, even with the interwebs afflutter with all this fantastical news, no one seemed to expect the reigning Queen of all things social media centric and pop culturally driven to come from behind and manage to steal the spotlight yet again quite like the one and only Beyonce.
So what did Queen Bey deliver to us this year just in time for the holiday season???
This video has been making its rounds and put Taylor Swift, Kim K and that silly little comet rover in their rightful place: in your browser history.
The video was accompanied by the news of a re-release of the mega-hit self-titled album, as one of two new tracks on the platinum edition album (the other a surprisingly prolific song about her parents marriage and its effects on her outlook on marriage and motherhood), along with 3 remixes including our personal #WYV anthem "***FLAWLESS feat. Nicki Minaj.
This particular video for "7/11" is the epitome of internet culture.
It appears as if it was shot as a 3 minute and 37 second Vine video. The rhythm is infectious, the lyrics nonsensical, and the overall tone of the song and video is blissfully fun. Bey always knows how to make her audience feel like her home girls, and that's why we love her.
She manages to get us time and time again, and we're so thankful she does, if not for our own pleasure, than just to show the rest of the internet just how it's done.
Here are 5 more times that Beyonce has managed to #BreaktheInternet and our entire pop culture minds:
You remember when she performed Love on Top at the 2012 MTV VMAs and showed off her baby bump for the first time? Or when there was hella speculation on her pregnancy being legitimate? Or the time she received the Video Vanguard Award at this last year's MTV VMAs and was presented not only with the award but her husband and Blue Ivy herself? It's safe to say that kid has contributed to a few circuits shorting out somewhere in the world with all the cyber space she's taken up.
That Pepsi ad tho! The first time we heard "Grown Woman" was in that Super Bowl Pepsi ad. The ad that was to signify her performance at the half-time show. The half-time show that re-united the member's of Destiny's Child (not that that doesn't happen every once in a while, but still!), sampled some of her best songs from her previous album and gave us one of the greatest performances in a long history of shitty Super Bowl half-time shows. (Let's be honest, Madonna wasn't that great, and she brought out THREE special guest performers.)
Uhmmmm the album that took the internet by storm, and the reason we're even talking about this re-release right now.You were there. You remember. You hyperventilated a little. It's ok. We're moving on.
Oh yeah, remember when the Mrs. Carter Tour somehow magically turned into the On The Run tour and was basically going to be two concerts for the price of one due to the appearance of rapper hubby Jay-Z? Yeah, combined, both tours grossed the power couple almost $300million in ticket sales for 2014. Also, she brought the most joy to us here in the Bay area by closing out her American leg of the On The Run tour by playing not only one, but two shows at SF's AT&T park. You know some of y'all were in Jack London Square jamming out to it. It was THAT epic.
And then of course… there was this.
So we here at #WYV would like to tip our hat to the reigning Queen of the internet (and let's face it, just all of womankind at the moment) for #BreakingtheInternet with style, grace, innovation, creativity and with (mostly) all of her clothes on.

Align Technology, Inc. v. U.S. Int'l Trade Comm'n
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed a ruling by the International Trade Commission (ITC, the Commission), finding that, under the ITC's rules, the Commission was not authorized to review a motion denied by an order, instead of by an initial determination. Align Technology, Inc. v. U.S. Int'l Trade Comm'n, Case Nos. 13-1240, -1363 (Fed. Cir., July 18, 2014) (Chen, J.).
The appeal resulted from an enforcement proceeding before the Commission to exclude certain products from importation into the United States, based on a consent order issued in ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-562, Certain Incremental Dental Positioning Adjustment Appliances and Methods of Producing Same. At the outset of the enforcement proceeding, the Commission issued a notice that the administrative law judge (ALJ) consider via a motion for summary determination (the Commission's equivalent of a summary judgment motion) whether the accused articles were within the scope of the consent order and ordered that the ruling should be issued as an initial determination (ID). Rather than issue an ID, the ALJ instead issued an order, finding that the accused products were within the scope of the consent order. The respondents petitioned for review and, over the objections of the complainant, the Commission reversed the order and terminated the enforcement proceeding. On appeal, the complainant argued that under ITC rules, an order is not reviewable by the Commission except as part of a final ID, and therefore the Commission was without authority to reverse the ALJ's ruling.
On review, the Federal Circuit reversed the Commission's ruling. The Court found that while the Commission had broad authority under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to set its own procedural rules, once those rules were set it was obligated to obey them. Under the Commission's rules, an initial determination may be immediately reviewed by the Commission, but an order "may not be appealed to the Commission prior to the administrative law judge's issuance of an initial determination." By issuing his decision as an order, the ALJ had rendered it non-reviewable immediately; the order could only be reviewed after a determination on the merits of the enforcement proceeding. The panel further found that the ALJ had the authority to issue his ruling as an order instead of as an ID, because the procedural rules clearly contemplated that the ALJ could deny a motion for summary determination by order, but could approve it by ID only. The Court rejected the Commission's argument that its notice superseded the rules by redefining an ID for the purposes of this proceeding only to include a denial of a summary determination motion as a post hoc rationalization of its actions, as well as its argument that the ALJ mislabeled his ruling as a non-reviewable order instead of as a reviewable ID.
As a closing note, the panel noted that the Commission had relied, in reversing the ALJ's decision, on its established practice of requiring its remedial orders to explicitly mention digital data in order for that data to be covered. Although the issue was not technically before the panel, the Court nevertheless noted that it did not find such reasoning persuasive, and that there was no evidence of any such established practice. The panel further concluded that whatever practice existed was insufficient to put the public on notice that digital data must be specifically described in in an exclusion order before such data was included in that order.

Bees, Wasps & Stinging Insects Control
Bees, hornets and wasps are in the same family of flying, stinging insects. Although crucial in the pollinating process of plant growth, they can be a real nuisance and a hazard. If a bee, hornet or wasp sets up a nest or hive in your yard where your children play, or near an outdoor eating area where employees eat their lunch, it can be dangerous. Many people are allergic to these stinging insects and it can turn into an emergency. Pesky bees and wasps nests are best to be handled by the professionals who are trained to do so in a contained manner, without making the bees aggressive.
Yellow Jackets (Hornets)
Yellow jackets, or hornets, are the slim yellow and black striped bees that are a type of wasp and can sting repeatedly. They can build homes, which are usually not completely visible, a couple inches inside a structure. The yellow jackets will be visible going in and out, and may be audible as they are rustling and eating through the wall to expand their nest. They make large cone-shaped hives that are protected by a paper covering that they make. These nests are often in high places like in trees or on the side of exterior walls and roofs. They can hold thousands of hornets and are aggressive when their nest is disturbed. Types of yellow jackets can also make their home a couple inches within the ground, and get aggressive when it is disturbed. Unlike the honey bee, the yellow jackets are annual, so they will not set up and remain in their nest for years. They may be the strongest and most painful stingers of this group. Being a type of wasp, they can also sting repeatedly.
Paper Wasps
Paper wasps, fly slower than bees and their legs dangle underneath them as they fly. Wasps can sting repeatedly and have a much more painful sting. They make their nests, in doorways, eaves, railings, shutters, or anywhere there is a small space.
European Paper Wasps look like yellow jackets, except it is much larger. It makes its nests in holes and prefers to be in an enclosed area. It one of the most aggressive types of wasps. This is an annual pest. Holes should be sealed as to ward off the wasp from making a nest.
Honey Bees
Honey bees don't attack unless they feel really threatened, because they die after they sting once. They can build a nest inside walls of a home or building and can last years there with a nice shelter, making honey that can destroy the walls and attract other pests.
Bumble Bees
Bumble bees are the large, fuzzy yellow and black bees. This type of bee is aggressive to defend its nest, even though it may be hesitant to sting. Led by a queen, bumble bees tend to create nests in the concrete around patios or underneath steps. They are increasingly active throughout the summer months.
Carpenter Bees
Carpenter bees are similar to bumble bees, however they are large, shiny and black, not fuzzy as is a bumble bee. These bees can also be aggressive if you are around their nests. However, males do not have stingers. These bees make their nests around the wood of your patio or deck. They can be destructive, as they drill holes into the wood in order to keep their eggs.
Depending on the species, stinging insects can be a danger, especially if left uncontrolled.

Legal Sea Foods Restaurant Review: Boston scrod, clam bellies, lobster rolls, and all the classics of New England seafood fare are on this menu, but there are also Southern regional specialties such as shrimp and grits. The clam bellies are properly fried, but we've had tastier with more invigorated clam flavor. The three-seafood salad packed into a roll is delectable enough, and the accompanying sides---coleslaw and asparagus---are fine indeed. Our first shot at a decent glass of wine produced a very off choice that didn't get any better with a second bottle, but the Trevor Jones unoaked Chardonnay is a winner with the dishes. Customer service is very important here, so kids have a menu that includes lobster (it's not inexpensive, however). There are gluten-free and vegan menus, plus menus in assorted languages, including Chinese and Braille.

The Christian Side-Hug is of the Devil
Why do I find this so fucking catchy? This video has been featured on a couple of my favorite corners of the internet recently and I am annoyed by it but it gets stuck in my head really, really easily. I'm not sure if they're serious; now, obviously, to most normals, the entire idea of this "rap" is ridiculous. But sometimes extreme Christians are not exactly normal - watch Saved. It's pretty accurate. Anyway, now that it's stuck in my head for eternity, I bequeath it to all of you. Don't thank me.
Also, because I'm crazy and have a lot of time on my hands, I watched all the rest of their YouTube videos, which were just a series of parodies of The Office featuring some mediocre characters but also a guy who does a really excellent Michael Scott impression. If anyone feels the need to waste as much time as I do, you can find the videos by clicking on the video above and going to their username's videos. Probably not. Anyway, again, I think this may be a Christian group that's actually for real, because 1. I found a group related to their YouTube name on Facebook (TFH = The Father's House. I research my shit) AND their one other video seems to be rules for some sort of church youth group. Why do I find this fascinating? Not sure but more google searches of TFH and Genlife led me to this really terrifying blog, which I will now share with y'all because it made me question the state of people today. It's called "The New Sexual Revolution," and it claims to be a Christian perspective on sex in today's craaaazy society. I only read one article; it was enough to piss me off. Emphasis mine.
"You're Teaching My Kid What?
Exposing the Sex-Ed Biz
November 10, 2009
This commentary contains material that may not be suitable for children.
Dr. Miriam Grossman was lecturing at a Philadelphia college about sexual health. The students had invited her to talk about something they'd never encountered in all their years of sex education—the dangers of non-marital sex.
Grossman will never forget the girl who told her that everything she'd said about sexually transmitted diseases was correct. "I always used condoms, but I got HPV anyway, and it's one of the high-risk types," the girl said. If the infection did not go away, she had a 40 percent chance of developing cervical cancer.
In her new book, You're Teaching My Child What?, Grossman says she felt "a wave of sorrow" at the girl's words—but she was hardly surprised. The girl was yet another victim of a destructive philosophy that has been forced on America's youth under the guise of "sex education."
The sex-ed lobby has always claimed it was all about health—teaching kids how to stay safe. But in reality, their goal was not preventing disease, pregnancy, and emotional distress. It's about indoctrinating them into a radical ideology—sexual freedom. Kids are urged to consult websites that urge them to begin "exploring" their sexuality at a young age, insist that sex at any age is a right, and encourage them to engage in bizarre and dangerous activities.
The findings of science are not allowed to interfere with these radical teachings. If new research proves the dangers of the behaviors they advocate, the so-called "sexperts" simply ignore it.
For instance, sex educators urge kids to avoid pregnancy by engaging in oral sex. But two years ago, cancer specialists found that oral cancers were on the rise among young adults, who used to be at very low risk if they did not smoke or drink.
If kids interact with five or more partners, they increase their risk "a whopping 250 percent." And yet sex educators, Grossman writes, portray this activity as safe and normal.
What's the result of this teaching? One in four American girls now has a sexually transmitted disease.
What do the sex educators say about this? They shrug it off, telling kids that "most" people contract an STD in their lifetime—as if such a thing were normal and unavoidable.
This ought to make us really angry. The "comprehensive" sex educators have done enormous harm to our kids. They keep right on teaching kids that life is a sexual-free-for-all with no consequences as long as they use so-called "protection."
Read Dr. Miriam Grossman's book, You're Teaching My Child What? You can get a copy at BreakPoint.org. And then, share it with the teens in your life. They need to know the truth—that while STDs, cervical cancer, and heartbreak may be increasingly common, they are no more "normal" than swine flu.
Once again, science is backing up the truth of the Judeo-Christian worldview. That is, sex ought to occur exclusively within the context of marriage. And anybody who tells us otherwise is sacrificing truth, science, and the health of our children."
Personally, I think this kind of article is fucking dangerous. Maybe I'm alone in this because, granted, I have a weird Sex Ed background (public school in the south coupled with Unitarian Univeralist church) but this is NOT the kind of education I got. We weren't encouraged to have sex at any age or taught that oral sex was something that could be done with no risks - we were told 1. Abstinence, 2. Protection, and 3. Oral sex is just as risky, for transferring disease, as vaginal or anal sex! This was pointed out and repeated so that we would get it through our skulls, which is a good thing. Bad mouthing Sex Ed as a field is probably the worst thing that could be done for the sexual health of school-aged kids. Sex Ed is about educating the kids who don't get any information at home from their super conservative/shy/uncomfortable/overwhelmed/uneducated parents (any or all of the above can be true, and aren't any sort of indictment on parents - my point is, teaching your kids about sex is hard, so having a place for them to learn about it in a safe environment is CRUCIAL) so they need somewhere else to go (that isn't the internet).
But even if the above weren't true - even if my Sex Ed and OWL teachers (OWL = Our Whole Lives. It's a sexuality and relationship education program that is taught at UU churches for teenagers in a youth group to bond and learn together about what makes a good friend, girlfriend, boyfriend, what's ok, what's not ok, what's normal, what's safe, etc. It's a great class; I've taken it three times and personally I think every teenager should take it. It covers everything from lessons in communication to what constitutes date rape - seriously, it is a great program) had been irresponsible and hadn't taught me about the dangers of oral sex in the form of STI's, I still would have a problem with this blog post because of the part that I've bolded. Basically, they claim that mouth cancer is more likely in girls who participate in oral sex. There is no citation for this, no evidence to back up this huge claim - just this blanket statement. Where the fuck do they get this? In all the classes I've taken, which is quite a few, I've NEVER heard this. And furthermore, it doesn't make sense. Do pregnant women get cancer along with their baby when a dude ejaculates inside them? Or do guys just naturally develop testicular cancer because their balls hold semen? Not to my knowledge, and do you know why? Because it's SEMEN; it's not fucking radioactive, it's not a fucking carcinogen, it's a natural body fluid that half of the people on the planet have. If semen causes cancer, we're fucked. But this is what they're saying is the truth. What good does this do? What good does fear-mongering do? Seriously, they're trying to scare kids into not blowing each other by threatening them with cancer? Is hellfire not enough?
This stupid Christian side-hug thing is just another way of expressing this same idea - that teaching kids anything other than to just avoid intimacy of any kind until marriage will put them in danger. God dammit, teen pregnancies are highest in countries where girls are uneducated. Education is the solution to problems that arise from ignorance. If you want your kid to wait until marriage to have sex, you can raise them believing in romance and God and whatever you want, but ultimately it's their decision and if you don't give them any sort of education about the dangers that can arise from sexual relationships then you are crippling them and putting them in danger. But for the love of God, don't just make up extra shit to scare them as well. What sort of complexes are you raising your daughters to have? And honestly, if a guy's waited his whole life to have sex, how's he going to react when his wife says she won't go down on him because she doesn't want to have to breathe through a hole in her neck?
Stop lying to kids. Maybe if Bristol Palin had learned to use a condom, nobody would ever have heard of Levi Johnston. This is a lesson for us all.

Tolerance and the Church-State Wall
The opinion article by Assemblyman Tom McClintock (R) of Los Angeles/Ventura, "Religion a Threat to, or Foundation of, Liberty?" (Dec. 19) would be amusing if it didn't support many individuals' misapprehensions about religion in progressive politics.
The author argues that "the modern left seeks a state intolerant of religion." Which left? The communist left, of course, was atheistic, but it hardly represents the modern left. If the left has been suspicious of religion, it is because religion has been co-opted by the right. But there is also a left represented by Martin Luther King Jr. and by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, whom McClintock quotes to bolster his argument. Because the left is often stereotyped as being anti-religious, however, it's worth pointing out that many of us believe that progressive politics is only possible within the framework of meaning that religion or spirituality provides.
Jo Ellen Green Kaiser

Managing editor, TIKKUN magazine
It's difficult to determine whether the essay was a defense of religion's role in achieving and maintaining liberty, or a partisan indictment of some perceived leftist agenda. I think anyone would find it difficult to deny that religion has been and continues to be an important part of American life.
McClintock is only partially correct in his interpretation of Thomas Jefferson's concept of separation of church and state. There is no doubt that it was meant to protect religion from government interference. However, Mr. Jefferson also wrote, "The clergy, by getting themselves established by law and engrafted into the machine of government, have been a formidable engine against the civil and religious rights of man."
Jefferson, learning from history, recognized that religions endowed with the powers of state would recreate the same oppressive conditions that colonizers fled so they could worship freely. The separation of church and state, as a two-way street, insures the survival of our founding principles of liberty and equality - including our religious liberties.
Today's attempts to compromise church/ state separation by Christian fundamentalists can only be interpreted as an attempt to interfere with our long-enjoyed freedom to worship as we choose. If successful, they will create oppressive conditions that interfere with our religious liberties.
Attempts to protect our religious liberties granted by the First Amendment cannot be classified as anti-religious or leftist. Rather, the protection of the First Amendment against Christian fundamentalist attack is the result of the continuing need to protect liberties so many others fought and died for.
Perhaps the author should have stopped with Tocqueville's quote, "The Founding Fathers, unlike the French, understood that religious liberty is not a result of self-government. It is a prerequisite."
David Bible
Fort Worth, Texas
It's odd that a Republican would misrepresent the ideas of Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic party, in order to attack Democrats. For where else does the "modern left" reside, if not in the Democratic party?
Jefferson did not have a "different concept [of church and state separation] than liberals who use his term today." Jefferson meant just what he said. A wall, completely divided. Government on one side, with no interference from religion. And vice versa. In perfect equipoise. A philosophy of mutual respect and noninterference. Jefferson understood in a profound and original way how important this balance is to safeguarding both spheres of human freedom.
And he believed, above all, in the inalienable sanctity of the sovereign individual, whose mental freedom must be vouchsafed from tyranny of any kind. Every individual has the right to sort out issues of faith and existence through his own intellect, heart, and soul, privately and unmenaced.

text: Trump Threatens 'Fire and Fury' Against North Korea if It Endangers U.S. | 08 Aug 2017 | President Trump threatened on Tuesday to unleash "fire and fury" against North Korea if it endangers the United States as tensions with the isolated nuclear-armed state grow into perhaps the most serious foreign policy challenge yet in his young administration. "North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States," Mr. Trump told reporters at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. "They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening beyond a normal state and as I said they will be met with fire and fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before." The president's comments came as North Korea earlier in the day escalated its criticism of the United States, as well as its neighboring allies, by warning that it will mobilize all its resources to take "physical action" in retaliation against the latest round of United Nations sanctions.

This popped up on my newsfeed as a friend was tagged. Holy Too Much Information on the internets anyone?
Sad in so many ways.
She should have started that post with "Dear Diary." People are so strange.
Woahhh. And people commented on it?! I would just pretend I never saw the post.
leisha606: No, a friend of a friend. The comments are mostly just "Sorry" and "Girl you don't need someone like that in your life, my husband cheated too."
It is Too Much Information but good for her for publicly shaming him, though. He deserves it!
This is how I feel when I see Too Much Information on social media:
I see this on my feed all the time. The sad part being that it is the same people over and over again. A lady who posted a photo of her just over 21 year old daughter passed out in the grass with her pants undone with the caption, "Thought she could hang with the big dogs hahahaha" and another gem from the same lady who was talking about how she was very sick and had the runs and had an accident from that.
Honestly, they keep me laughing. But I'm usually shocked at the amount of class people like that lack. My facebook is nothing like that. But to each his own I suppose.
kb7: I personally don't to overshare…my fb is mostly pictures of my dog lol however I will admit I love it when other people do…:-/ horrible I know, but they are making the decision to put it out there.
Some people just really don't care that everyone knows their business! To each their own. I am easily entertained by it so I am not complaining.
kb7: My cousin who lives in another country recently got engaged. A few weeks his fiance posted on his wall
<br />"there you all go. (Cousin) is single now. Go F**k yourselves"
and the comments were just… oh man. Someone would ask one question and the girl would write a paragraph about all their problems like he is always gone with his friends and doesnt want to step up and be a man to her kids (all 4 – not his) and she thought he loved her and he would just chime in every few comments and just say "i do love you" oh man…
Can.I.Be.Mrs.C.: Ok WOW thats horrible she would do that to her daughter!!
Poor girl……. This is sad. Over share………but sad.
i hate when couples post pictures of themselves in bed, obviously post sex. Ew, we don't need to know what you are up to thanks.
Can.I.Be.Mrs.C.: Woah poor daughter! I do have a FB friend that constantly posts drama about her baby daddy. Umm, he had 3 kids by someone else when you met (at age 21) and you thought having 3 more with him would be different?
Boxerlover24: Oh there's definitely a part of me that's entertained!
MrsPiggles: Woah, I've never seen the post-sex couple! Too much.
ArcadiaRose: Who knows the real story. The only cheating she referred to was deleted emails and texts. Not cool IMO.

Well I got that information from members on your forum.
Even during the first session I learned some stuff that 9 months of previous self-self study didn't provide me.
My main point in increasing my score is so I can try to better my chances of getting into my number 1 school. I have the numbers for all my other schools I wish to go to and increasing my lsat score will only help me more with them but isn't necessarily needed.Is a short-term study method to improve one's score really that bad? I don't have a lot of time but I can make enough to study. And I'm not going to delay going to law school for an entire year just for the slight chance of improving my numbers enough to get into my number 1 choice. So I can't see the harm in it.Do you think it will screw me up or something?
Busy schedule + short-term pre is a formula for disappointment. I understand scheduling conflicts, but I'm also concerned about the overall amount of time you have to dedicate to studying the LSAT. If the problem is truly scheduling, and not an overall lack of time, you should consider hiring a tutor. That'll give you more comprehensive prep and a flexible schedule.Re: CoursesWhile I'm a strong advocate for taking prep courses, but I'm not a big fan of taking abbreviated courses. I've taught Princeton Review's accelerated course, and I'm not a big fan. The course simply moves too quickly to get into any real deep discussion of the materials. The longer Hyperlearning course is gold. Unfortunately I don't know anything about Powerscore's virtual course, but it appears to have just as few hours as TPR Accelerated. Again, tutoring is probably a better option.

SAUDI MEDICAL JOURNAL, vol. 19, n° 5, 1998, pages 624-627, 9 réf., ISSN 0379-5284, SAU
College of Medicine. King Faisal University. SAU
This paper aims at assessing the effect of a training program on the knowledge, attitude and practices of health workers and mothers regarding growth monitoring.
This is a prospective case control study of random sampling of 405 mothers and 71 health workers (doctors and nurses), throughout health centers and communities in Al-Baha area of Saudi Arabia.
Tests on knowledge, attitude and practices were held before, immediately after and 6 months following a training program on growth monitoring mounted by the investigators.
Results of the study have shown significant improvements in the knowledge and practices of both health workers and mothers compared to the control groups.
The training has led to the disappearance of the significant knowledge gap between doctors and nurses.
The improvements in mothers'practices are reflected in significant increases in the knowledge and frequency of visits to the health centers.
The investigators credit the improvements to the training program and recommend its adoption by the national MCH program in Saudi Arabia.
They also recommend supportive supervision and evaluation.
Results of this and another study by the author on the problems of use of growth charts affirm that growth monitoring should continue to be part of primary health care in Saudi Arabia.

Korea > Seoul >War Memorial
December 2010
This is truly a pleasant surprise. On a fine bitterly cold morning last week, we took a walk (yeah, crazy idea at -5C) from our hotel in Yongsan towards Itaewon, and there next to the road, sat a B-52 in the compound of the War Memorial of Korea. I'd always wanted to see this (in)famous beast up close, so I just couldn't believe my luck. I was excited like a kid!
The awesome and fearsome Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bomber, with the iconic Seoul Tower in the background. This is believed to be one of the only three B52s being displayed outside the USA. – the other two are in Darwin (Australia) and Duxford (England).
You can climb up to view the flight deck …
… but only if you are not acrophobic, otherwise vertigo can set in.
It's quite a nice spot for a pose, esp. in the bright morning light.
Details on the displayed B-52, moved here March, 2009. Actual model is 'Boeing B-52D-65-BO Stratofortress'; C/N 17221, original USAF S/N 55-105.
Yes, I go up to peek into the cockpit, but the lighting is bad. Looks cramped inside there, considering the huge size of the plane.
I glance at the wingspan of 53m. This 'D' model started flying in 1956. It played a major in carpet-bombing Vietnam during the Vietnam War (1955-75). Bad, bad bird!
The huge fuselage is almost 50m long, shorter than the winspan.
It has a short stubby nose, and the flight deck has two floors – only the pilot and co-pilot occupy the top floor. The bottom floor is the office for the navigator, electronic warfare officer, and radar navigator cum bombardier.
On each wing, two pods carry two powerful Pratt & Whitney engines each. Cruising speed is 850km/h, up to max altitude of almost 50,000ft. Combat radius is 7,200km, while ferry range is about 16,000km.
The wing is huge and long, and the weight of the four engines plus the fuel will make it sag when not flying. So it's necessary to install a small landing gear, called the outrigger, at the end of the wing to support it when the plane lands and is on the ground.
Massive main landing gear. This mafaka weighs more than 200 tonnes when full of bombs.
That's where they store the fireworks, which brought misery to thousands of unfortunate people down below.
The four engines on the port wing.
Close-up of the outrigger at the tip of the port wing.
There's a pod at the wingtip next to the outrigger. Am not sure what it is for; some radar stuff, or extra fuel?
The fuselage is slender top-bottom, so when you look at the B-52 from the front, it looks rectangular.
The majestic tail and stabiliser.
Tail repainted with reg. USAF 50-1512. So now I can tick off B-52 from my list of planes to see.

Someone For Everyone: 36-Year-Old Octomom Is Dating 23-Year-Old Overly Orange & Spray-Tanned Bodybuilder "Frankie G"
Octomom Dating Bodybuilder Frankie G
And the two lovebirds met at church!
Despite her aversion to dating, Octomom has found herself a new man. Nadya Suleman, who claims she's been celibate for 13 years, reveals she's been dating a 23-year-old amateur bodybuilder named Frankie G. Video taken by TMZ shows the fitness buff welcoming the 36-year-old mom with a kiss upon her arrival at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday.
The new couple has reportedly been getting serious after just two months of dating. When asked if their 13-year age difference was an issue, Suleman told TMZ: "No, I have the mind of an 18-year-old." She said she met her new beau in church, which was also where they were headed after the airport.
Frankie admitted that seeing a woman who has 14 children wasn't a walk in the park. "It has its moments," he told the website. "Obviously she has a lot of kids but it's wonderful and I enjoy it. She's a wonderful person, she has a good heart."
Being in a relationship is a new experience for Suleman. Last August, she opened up to Steppin' Out magazine about her distaste for sex and inability to find happiness in a relationship. "I only had one boyfriend my whole life and I never loved him," she said at the time. "I only wanted babies."
Even when she was married, Suleman said she never liked to be intimate with her husband. "I can tell you that I never touched him physically. It was a different type of marriage," she said. "That's all I want to say about it. I'm the kind of person who can be with a man for years and never touch him. My mind is not wired that way. I don't need that kind of thing. People need sex, but I don't .. I have zero sexual interest."
WTF? How is this broad 36 talking about "No, I have the mind of an 18-year-old" AND she have 14 friggin kids?!?!?!?!?! SMH.

…to mochi land!
I found the rice flour I needed to make mochi yesterday at a market that is primarily Japanese foods. This old guy is married to a Japanese woman, who is his same age. They had TWO boxes left and I got them! Seems all the Asian markets are getting low on this flour. Chinese New Years is soon and this is usually only made once/year on new years'.
I went on the website for the producers of the flour, Koda Farms, to check out facts on the product and hopefully to gain more insight. I learned some stuff but not what I was looking for but…..
I will post all about them later. I need to read them thoroughly. They're very thin so it won't take long.

Characterization of Apoptotic Cells in Equine Proximal Suspensory Desmitis
Hewes, Christina Andrea
MetadataShow full item record
Suspensory desmitis is a common problem and affects a broad cross section of equine athletes in various disciplines. For this study, the proximal portion of the suspensory ligament was collected from 6 horses without suspensory ligament injury (16 ligaments) and 4 horses with degeneration of the suspensory ligament (11 ligaments). Specimens were collected immediately after euthanasia and placed in neutral-buffered 10% formalin. The tissue was fixed, sectioned, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Massonâ s trichrome, and for apoptosis by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) technique. Histological changes in the abnormal ligaments included mineralization, fibroplasias, neovascularization, collagen degeneration, and significant architecture disruption in 2 ligaments. There was a trend for increased apoptosis in the injured ligaments compared to the normal ligaments.

I just finished the third training video in the Electric Sailplane educational series and you can order it now either on DVD or as a Digital Download. This new video is for the advanced pilot, so you should have already studied the Electric Clinics 1 and 2 or at least know the basics of power systems and the terms used for the equipment.
Insider Deal: You can also get all three of the Electric Clinic downloads together for only $44.95, that's over 25% off the individual video price, just click here to order the complete set.
The new video has nearly three hours of fast-paced tutorials covering a variety of techniques and skills that will make you a better builder and help you understand the latest technologies and equipment now available for high performance electric gliders.
In Part 1, I build-out a new Xplorer 3 F5J fuselage with the latest and lightest power system gear and technology. I show you how to complete all of the steps required including motor selection, CG calculations, fuselage modifications, advanced ESC programming, HV servo installations, and battery selection. Other build subjects include installing super-light carbon GM props, a PNC Innovations aluminum firewall, and a custom servo tray for our MKS HV digital servos.
There are some cool new receiver back-up battery solutions available and you'll learn about the Scorpion and Optipower back up systems. I'll show you how they work and teach you some tips on how to set them up and install them properly so they will save your plane if you have a main battery or ESC failure.
For the competition minded, I show you how to install and program a CAM ALES unit and the new Aerobtec Altisv4+ F5J limiter and altitude tracker, a device required to fly the new F5J soaring tasks.
In Part 2, I go into the technical aspects of batteries and power system optimization. I cover LiPo battery performance and the importance of low internal resistance, and we'll see if the new High Voltage motor packs are worth the extra cost.
You'll then learn some valuable tips on how to use the latest version online power system simulator Prop Calc. We'll run some calculations and use the new analog dial display to help us quickly determine the best propellor and battery size for our required climb rate with our chosen motor and ESC. We''ll then compare the Prop Calc data with actual static and flight test data to ensure that our motor and ESC are not running currents over their rated specifications. With the Alti V4 altitude tracks and our ESC data logging, we can see which is the better performing propellor under real flight conditions.
I guarantee the knowledge you gain from this video will save you a ton of time and money. You'll learn how to save weight, put the gear in the right places, buy the motor that will give you the climb you want, and match it to a prop and battery sized correctly to make a high performance e-glider that will be highly reliable as well.

Even iTunes is doing a year-end list; its staff pick the best and top selling apps of 2011, including news apps. The New York Times made the list of top iPhone and iPad news apps. The Daily was one of the top Newsstand apps and also the third top-grossing app of the year. CNN's app is in the top five free apps of the year, and its iPad app is also among iTunes' top picks for news apps of the year (see images below). CNN's Zite tops the list of news apps. And Instagram is the iPhone app of the year; the photo filtering and sharing service is a favorite of journalists.
The Newsstand, introduced in October, has driven up app download rates by as much as 85 percent in some cases, though few news organizations have migrated their apps to it.

Not in Gibbs IV.
The House in The Valley was James Hanley's only novel under the pseudonym Patric Shone and is something of a rarity. This is the dustwrapper Gibbs was unable to see before publication of the bibliography, but the book itself is A35a.
This copy is signed "Patric Shone" in quite small script near the front ffep gutter; certainly an unusual location for a signature. It does however match the other signed copies I've seen as the S in Shone is an extension of the dot above the i in Patric.

Stocks plunged more than 2 percent Monday as traders cashed in on some of the gains from the four-week rally. Earlier, the New York Fed reported its measure of manufacturing activity in the region moved into positive territory—signaling growth—for the first time since April 2007. Read and listen to what the experts had to say...
Dollar-Yen to Drag Stocks Down
The correlation between the dollar and the stock market is still there, said Chris Zwermann from Zwermann Financial. He sees the dollar-yen falling to 90 and pulling stock markets lower this week, with the Dow falling below the 9,000 mark.
Stocks to Rise Again Once Summer is Over
"We are in a summer lull. [Market] volumes aren't that strong. You can sense that the appetite has really faded away now that we've got through the majority of the earnings season," said Stephen Pope from Cantor Fitzgerald Europe. He expects to see stocks moving higher again once summer is over.
Pullback: A Normal Late-Summer Activity
Expectations have gotten a little bit ahead of reality as to where consumer spending will be post-stimulus, said Frederic Dickinson of D.A. Davidson. He said late August and early September are normally difficult months, especially when the markets went through a rally earlier in the year. "We were looking for the market to have about a 3 to 5 percent pullback and we're getting that now," he said. "But all in all, it's normal late-summer activity."
Hedge Funds Stage Rebound
Hedge funds have made their best start to a year in 10 years, with investors flocking back to traditional investment strategies, according to new research. "It's a trend that we've been seeing," said Karsten Schroeder of Amplitude Capital. "Outflows have certainly slowed down already in the first quarter of 2009, supported by a strong performance of the overall hedge fund sector."

ASP.NET MVC And Dynamic Data Learn To Play Well Together
My compadre Scott Hunter, another PM on the ASP.NET team, who happens to work on the Dynamic Data feature, recently put together an example of using ASP.NET MVC and Dynamic Data Web Forms together in the same application. Look for the link to MvcDynamicData.zip on this Code Gallery page.
I've been working on a post detailing a couple different ways to integrate WebForms and MVC, but life has been really busy for me lately. Hopefully I'll get that to you soon.
In the meanwhile, you can probably learn all you need to know by looking at this example.
By the way, Scott was recently featured on .NET Rocks. We need to get a better picture of him taken. That whole Smoking Man image has got to go.

I know this subject is covered in various forms but have not found a comparison or review of "spitfires". I know as years and technology progresses things change and just looking to see pros and cons.
Ok I have a new to me Vapor all sighted in, just picked up 6 Pro-V 22 arrows and am looking to buy broad heads so I can start practicing for fall deer season.
I read that most of the Tenpoint staff shoot NAP spitfires, that post was from 2014. Internet research confirms some very good reviews of spitfires as well. That is all fine but when you go to buy them you find out that there are 6 different variations to choose from.
So with these to choose from:
Spitfire Double Cross
Spitfire XXX
Spitfire Maxx
Spitfire Maxx Deep 6
Spitfire Edge
Spitfire Gobbler getter (obvious but want to know if they use the same practice head)
Which works best with the Pro-V22 and the Vapor and Pro-V 20 on a FX4?
Thank you.

Do Pay-By-Smartphone Systems Put Consumers At Risk?
As smartphones like the iPhone or Droid become more popular and more sophisticated, developers are finding new ways for consumers to use these mobile devices to replace existing items like airplane boarding passes, coupons and now credit cards. Soon, smartphone owners will be able to pay for purchases with a wave of their phones, but they should first be aware of the possible risks involved.
The biggest issue, according to our benevolent benefactors at Consumers Union, is that users' risk exposure currently all depends on whether that smartphone purchase is backed by a credit, debit or prepaid card:
If mobile payment transactions are backed by a credit card and appear on the credit card bill, then consumers are entitled to all available protections. If the transaction amount is deducted from the consumer's deposit account with a financial institution like with a debit card, it should receive the same protections as any other electronic fund transfer. This means consumers receive a legal right to get back money for errors and theft, but not for a dispute with a merchant about the goods and services.
However, if the transaction is funded by a prepaid card, even the protections for unauthorized use may be missing, and there also will be no legal guarantee of protection in the event of a dispute with a merchant. If the payment service is provided directly by the mobile carrier and the charges appear on the customer's cell phone bill, the way it is done in Japan and South Korea, the product might escape consumer protections entirely. If the cell phone company asks the consumer to make a prepaid deposit to the phone company to cover future charges, protections also will be missing unless the contract provides them.
In light of this fragmentation, CU has called upon regulators to "use their current statutory authority to ensure that existing consumer protections are applied to all new payment methods."
"Consumers should not be expected to figure out what protections apply to each competing new payments venture," said CU staff attorney Michelle Jun. "Regardless of the technology or business organization involved, the same high level of consumer protections should be guaranteed by law and contract for any payment service. Now that mobile payment ventures are emerging in the U.S., it's time to harmonize and extend consumer protections for all payment services."
CU is also asking the companies behind these mobile payment systems to include in their contracts the full consumer rights provided under existing federal law for both debit and credit cards, and to provide true voluntary "zero liability" assurance for consumers without loopholes.

Coinciding perfectly (or perilously) with most peoples pay days today, many UK retailers have decided to offer discounts to kick start the holiday shopping season. Black Friday is traditionally the preserve of electrical goods so retailers like Amazon, Apple and Dell have gone big on their offerings. Apple have a special one day shopping event today with discounts on iPads, laptops and even a huge iTunes sale, whilst Amazon have trawled their web to bring choice discounts to shoppers.
But there are plenty of fashion bargains to go round too. Selfridges are marking the day with an early Christmas celebration all weekend, where shoppers can score a healthy 20% discount in-store until Sunday with special discount vouchers. And online, retailers like River Island are offering free delivery on all orders this weekend.

We're hoping this may start a yearly trend for jawdropping discounts and consumer events in advance of the Christmas rush. Topshop, are you listening?

PORTLAND — Thailand's Pornanong Phatlum shot an 8-under 64 on Thursday to take a one-stroke lead over Lexi Thompson after the first round of the Safeway Classic.
The 23-year-old Phatlum had 10 birdies and two bogeys in her afternoon round at Columbia Edgewater.
The 18-year-old Thompson eagled the par-5 seventh hole and had five birdies in her bogey-free morning round. She won the 2011 Navistar LPGA Classic for her lone tour title.
Christie Kerr, the winner in 2008 the last time the event was played at Columbia Edgewater, was at 66 along with Lizette Salas and Germany's Sandra Gal.
Second-ranked Stacy Lewis, returning to play after withdrawing from the Canadian Women's Open last week because of illness, opened with a 67. She won the Women's British Open on Aug. 4 at St. Andrews and had consecutive early season victories in Singapore and Phoenix.
Hall of Famers Juli Inkster and Se Ri Pak also were in the large group at 67 that included Michelle Wie, Yani Tseng and Ai Miyazato. The 53-year-old Inkster won the last of her 31 tour titles in 2006.
Natalie Gulbis had a hole-in-one on the second hole and finished with a 68.
Hotel Fitness Championship
At Fort Wayne, Ind., Scott McCarron took the first-round lead in the Hotel Fitness Championship, the opening event in the new four-tournament Web.com Tour Finals series.
The 48-year-old McCarron, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour, had eight birdies, an eagle and two bogeys for an 8-under 64 at Sycamore Hills. He's in the field on a special medical exemption because of a thumb injury after finishing 250th in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup standings.
The bulk of the field is made up of top 75 players from the Web.com Tour money list and Nos. 126-200 in the FedEx Cup standings. The top 25 on the Web.com money list are assured PGA Tour cards for the 2013-14 season.

In the space of great rapport, anything is possible" – Milton Erikson
When we know with certainty that it is all about the client we serve, then it is vital to build up a level of rapport to build the trust and responsiveness in the client that our words become their thoughts.
True rapport can be matched through a variety of things
– matching the angle of the spine
– mirroring blinking, breathing rate, tonality
– other body language such as drinking just after a client has had a sip of their water, arms gestures same when it is your turn to talk etc
When on a coaching call, however you have 55% less communication cues to utilise. Our communication is made up of 55% body language, 38% tonality and 7% words. When you become proficient at creating rapport through tonality and words, then you gain even more expertise as a coach.
Some of the keys to creating great rapport with phone coaching is firstly to assume a level of rapport. Get an agreement frame at the commencement of the session, three "yesses" from the client support them to create that connection of rapport quickly.
The next main key… is to listen and be present.
When coaching, LISTEN intently to the tonality and the words that your client uses. Focus on your client.
Listen to the language that is used, whether it is resourceful or unresourceful, at cause or at effect, in the positive or negative, big picture or detailed.
Notice the predicates they use (words that refer to certain representational systems). Eg- if your client says "I see what you mean, Im looking forward to that"… or "Im hearing you, that really resonates with me"… or " I have a gut feeling about this" …. or "give me time to process and analyse the facts"- it allows you to know whether their preferred or dominant representational system is visual, auditory, kinaesthetic or auditory digital. Then you can match their preferred modality to build even greater rapport.
Rapport is a must for keeping it all about the client, because it rapidly builds a level of trust, makes the client comfortable to disclose with openness and means we are able to create transformation at a much faster rate. Rapport builds client confidence in the coaches skills for the current coaching session, and creates a reference point for future sessions with you as their coach.
Listening to the voice quality and tonality of the client will also assist you to create great rapport.
The biggest key of all is to coach from the heart space, be in the moment, and listen… The client has come to you to grow into living at cause and become the best they can be.
Prior to your coaching session, give yourself a few minutes to remind yourself who YOU need to BE to coach and create transformation. Then future pace yourself – go to the successful completion of the coaching session and see what you are seeing, hear what you are hearing, notice what you're telling yourself and just notice how great that feels. You may choose to have a poster in front of you that reads "Be Present" or "In the Moment"… and reduce all distractions to ensure you can remain present for the coaching session.
After all, its all about the client 🙂

Punk Rock Posters, Remixed Swiss Modernist-Style
The very best band that broke up last year, Double Dagger, had a great song called "Punk Rock vs. Swiss Modernism" — a tension that, as graphic designers and hardcore musicians, they understood well. It isn't clear whether their fellow designer, Mike Joyce of Stereotype Design, had the song in mind when he embarked upon his Swissted posters, but they certainly serve as an apt companion piece. The series uses Swiss modernist typography to reimagine real flyers from '70s-'90s punk shows, with results we wouldn't mind displaying on our wall. (Seriously, Mike, how do we buy these?) See a selection of our favorites after the jump, and then visit Swissted to check out the entire, enormous project.

Tomahawk, WI 10/10/2013 (BasicsMedia) – Wherever you look, you are likely you come across more of such headlines. More companies are opting to relieve their workers of their duties. Most of these companies are citing the need to cut down on costs in order to remain competitive in a world which is increasingly getting more competitive by the minute. This same scenario has now befallen Alcatel Lucent SA (ADR) (NYSE:ALU) which will sack close to, or more than, 10,000 of its workers by 2015. This is an exercise which will affect all its facilities throughout the entire globe. But is this warranted?
Sacking 10,000 Workers to Save ALU $1.3 Billion
The company has said that it is embarking on this exercise to help save it close to $1.3 billion. It has said that this move is important bearing in mind the fact that the company has endured a great deal of losses in the recent years. Its quarterly financial results have not been good reading for quite some time and since it has a few responsibilities which it owes both to investors and Wall Street, it has to go through such a period. This is something which more publicly traded companies are discovering that they must carry out fast in order to remain financially stable.
ALU To Lose 1/7 of Its Entire Workforce
The company expects to lose close to 1/7 of its total employees. It currently boasts of 77,000 and above employees working in its many plants located all over the world. The economic situation which affects the world, coupled with the fact that the company faces competition from some market leaders has made this decision one which it cannot avoid, or escape from. ALU hopes that by taking such drastic but necessary measures, it will only be left with employees who serve its high speed broadband and networking departments, which it considers its core products.
Some of the companies which are the fiercest competitors to ALU include Nokia of Finland, Huawei or China, and Ericsson of Sweden. ALU is in a difficult moment where it has not posted periods for a period of five consecutive quarters. This brings the decision to fire the 10,000 workers into perspective. If it fails to take such tough decisions, it may never be able to enjoy better financial returns in future. The company has to find ways of enjoying growth and this will only be possible with programs such as the Shift Plan which has been on since June 2013.
Other Cost Cutting Measures Carried out by ALU
However, the move to sack close to 15% of its workforce, has led to a lot of heated reactions both globally and in France. It also wants to relocate its headquarters from its Eiffel Tower base, to one it considers is a much cheaper option. It is yet to announce the new location where its headquarters will be based. These are measures that are likely to continue attracting a lot of negative response from the public, although investors and Wall Street may consider them necessary due to the effect the will have on ALU's bottom line both in the short and long term.

Belmont Lane Kitchen and Eat-In Project
Project Scope
This home located in Marvin is in great shape, it just needs an update. The house was built in the early 2000's and has the typical box type feel. They wanted a beautiful, updated kitchen, that would open up into the family room. Detailed Interiors worked closely with the home owner to develop a design that incorporated desired features. New kitchen was modeled in 3D before a contract was drafted.
Special Considerations
A professional engineer drew up structural plans for the elimination of the load bearing wall.
The floor system under the island was reinforced to handle the concentrated load.
Date Started
July 2016
Date Ended

Trekkin' Friday
Despite a shower before dinner, we were able to get a fire going to make chili and scones for dinner. The evening fireside was a testimony meeting and didn't wind up until well after dark. We spent some time with the kids talking about our feelings about trek and the parallels with life. We were constantly amazed at their maturity and expressiveness. Ed says the future of the LDS church is in good hands!

Trekin' Thursday
We started Thursday morning with a bowl of cornmeal mush for breakfast. It wasn't the tastiest, but it stuck to your ribs. We were happy to find out that our adopted children had some terrific skills, which included fire building and cooking! Ed and I watched in amazement as they made breakfast for us. I have to say I am reconsidering my opinion of the value of Boy Scouts in a boy's life!
By early afternoon we arrived at our next camp site, and we had time for some fun, getting our hair washed, making leather bracelets, and cooking tasty little strips of buffalo meat.

Gwine to Gettysburg
If you're curious about how things are going on the trek, check the weather in Gettysburg, PA. That's very close to our camping sight. Looks like today we'll have clear weather for a few hours, but tomorrow has 80% chance of rain. Hopefully, that will make the 90 degree weather feel cooler!

Honeysuckle Hunt
First we found some baby geese in Miss Carol's pond.
There were also some giant mushrooms growing out of rotten trees!
It was nice to have Amanda along to train Coda to walk next to us. Amanda is the true alpha dog in our family, and Coda obeys her better than anyone. We stopped at the swimming hole to try to teach Coda to swim. It turns out she can dog paddle just fine when the water is too deep for her.

Temple in the Rain
Afterwards we did a temple session and later went out to eat at Thai Cuisine, on the corner of Highways 97 and 108. I'm putting the address on my blog for the benefit of those of you who, like us, never know where to eat after a temple session. It was a small restaurant with limited seating, but fortunately, a lot of their business is takeout. The food was terrific, and I'm sure we'll be back again sometime!

Tuesday afternoon, I went strawberry picking with Suzanne and Amanda. It was a beautiful day to be out in the fields at Baugher's Farm.
We got some ripe, juicy berries, which Suzanne went home and made into freezer jam. Luckily, she shared some of the jam with us today!
Yesterday I did some more pickin'--this time banjo pickin' with my friend, Karen. We've had some beautiful weather, and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck entertaining the neighbors. We did Whiskey Before Breakfast, a great tune with a funny title. I can relate to the title, because I had to make a rule in our house--no chocolate before noon!
After we polished up our banjo song we had fun just talking...isn't music really always just a good excuse to get together?
