Psychologists in the US identified 34 children and young people who they say appeared to recover from the developmental disorder.
Tests on the individuals, aged eight to 21, concluded that they no longer suffered symptoms of the autism, which makes it difficult to communicate and socialise.
Writing in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, the authors said the study "documents a group of individuals with clear early histories of autism who currently show normal language, face recognition, communication and social interaction, and no autism symptoms".
They suggested that "moving off the autism spectrum into normal functioning" was "a possibility".
According to the National Autistic Society, about one in 100 people has the condition to some degree, although symptoms can range from the very mild to very severe. About 130,000 children and teenagers are thought to have the condition.
Some 'highly functional' people with mild autism hold down important jobs.
Dr Thomas Insel, director of the US National Institute of Mental Health which supported the study, said: "Although the diagnosis of autism is not usually lost over time, the findings suggest that there is a very wide range of possible outcomes."
The scientists drew their conclusions after examining the way the 34 inviduals spoke and interacted with people, and comparing results to 44 peers with no history of autism.
Dr Deborah Fein, of the University of Connecticut, said: "All children with Autism Spectrum Disorder are capable of making progress with intensive therapy, but with our current state of knowledge most do not achieve the kind of optimal outcome that we are studying."
However, Dr Judith Gould, of the National Autistic Society, warned against giving parents of autistic children false hope.
She said many children learn coping strategies which could hide the condition from specialists in adulthood.
"This study is looking at a small sample of high functioning people with autism and we would urge people not to jump to conclusions about the nature and complexity of autism, as well its longevity," said Dr Gould.
"With intensive therapy and support, it's possible for a small sub group of high functioning individuals with autism to learn coping behaviours and strategies which would 'mask' their underlying condition, and change their scoring in the diagnostic tests used to determine their condition in this research.
"This research acknowledges that a diagnosis of autism is not usually lost over time and it is important to recognise the support that people with autism need in order to live the lives of their choosing."
She continued: "Getting a diagnosis can be a critical milestone for children with autism and their families, often helping parents to understand their children better and helping them to support their children in reaching their full potential. The importance of diagnosis can therefore not be underestimated."

Chanel Les Naturels de Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches
Along with Glossimers, Chanel released two shades of Rouge Allure Lipstick ($30.00 each) with their Les Naturels de Chanel collection. As you can guess, the collection was designed to be wearable and natural, and Chanel delivered well on both.
Rouge Allure Lipsticks
- Naive is a soft, sheer layering of subdued pink with a little mauve in it. It goes on very my-lips-but-better. It is slightly creamy, though not opaque nor overly so. It has just the lightest dusting of golden shimmer that's extremely subtle (more so than Glossimers). Looking back at the swatches now, it's reminiscent of Urban Decay's Naked lipstick, just not as shimmery.
- Curious is a soft, sheer brown-based nude with subtle golden shimmer that's just as slight as Naive. Both of these have finishes that look more like a soft sheen than glossy, shimmery, or frosty.
See swatches and lip swatches…

is that Jim on the logo?
is that Jim on the logo? if so it doesnt look a thing like him.
i think he's imitating the birthing process
looks like the photo is quite old though and flipped...isn't that a wedding ring?
a lot of times the art directors at the magazine will flip an image for the "flow" of the article, ad, etc. i don't agree with this practice since it does distort your view of the shot...most people look different when flipped which i think is another reason he looks different here.
andy richter is a standup comedian who recently had his own tv series in the states...he is known for his bumbling "charlie brown" type luck. i believe he got his start on either conan o'brien's late-nite show but NOPE doesn't look like Jim

More Bridal Shower Party Themes
Make a cornucopia centerpiece filled with fruit, gourds, nuts, seeds, and spices. Place cookbooks around the room. If you can get hold of a toy oven, sink, refrigerator, pots and pans, etc., you can set them out and adorn them with flowers and ribbon. Provide a decorative recipe box in which the guests' recipes will go.
Each guest fills out a recipe card and brings the needed utensils for making the recipe. Keep in mind that a garlic press, egg slicer, or lettuce spinner are less common - and no less important - than measuring cups and spoons. The host may want to consider coordinating the gifts at this party so there will be no duplicate gifts.
Games and Activities
The classic mystery spice game is always a hit at this party. Give all the guests some paper and a pencil. Bring out a tray with ten bottles, labeled one through ten, each filled with a different spice. Have the guests pass the bottles around, looking at and smelling the spices. Then have each write down what they think each spice is. The player with the most correct answers takes the bottles home.
This theme can be an automatic pot-luck. Ask each guest to prepare their recipe and bring it to the party. Provide lots of extra recipe cards so guests can copy the recipes of the dishes they like. This is a good icebreaker when people will be meeting at a shower for the first time.
Party Favors
Give each guest a potholder with a decorative name card tied to the loop. This can also serve as a placecard. Or send them home with fun cookie cutters.

Testy, Testy
This story appears in the June 2000 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
These days, it seems employee drug testing has become about as commonplace as providing business cards. Chances are, if you don't already have a drug-testing policy, you're probably considering instituting one. And for the most part, potential and existing employees have even come to accept it as a part of the present-day job process. So why, when drug testing appears to be such a vital part of the modern American workplace, are some small-business owners and experts re-evaluating whether it's really good for business?
According to Daniel Abrahamson, legal affairs director for the Lindesmith Center in San Francisco, "Employers need to think hard about why they're drug testing; what their bottom line is."
Chris Penttila is a freelance journalist who covers workplace issues from her home base in the Chapel Hill, North Carolina, area. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or through her Web site, www.sitting-duck.com.
Everybody's Doing It
Most employers test for drug use because they believe it curbs accidents, increases productivity and enhances the bottom line. In fact, in a 1999 American Management Association (AMA) study, 83 percent of employers surveyed indicated they believe drug testing deters employee drug use.
This kind of faith in drug testing has attracted growing popularity over the years. The AMA found that the percentage of U.S. companies testing for drugs increased threefold, from 21.5 to 81 percent, between 1986 and 1996. Mark de Bernardo, executive director of the Institute for a Drug-Free Workplace, insists that drug testing increases employee productivity. "Eleven percent of the work force has engaged in illegal drug use," he says. "Drug testing is an area you don't want to compromise. We have safer and more productive workplaces because of it."
Recent research, however, questions the importance of traditional workplace drug testing. Last fall, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report saying off-duty use of illegal drugs contributed little to workplace accidents. In addition, a survey of 63 Silicon Valley-area companies, conducted by the Le Moyne College Institute of Industrial Relations in Syracuse, New York, found that productivity was actually about 16 percent lower in companies with pre-employment testing and 29 percent lower in firms that used both pre-employment and random testing. Why? The researchers speculated that talented workers in a tight labor market prefer to seek out employers who don't test for drugs.
A Big Decision
Suppose you're testing your employees for drugs and you discover your most productive and knowledgeable employee failed a random drug test because of some off-duty marijuana use last Saturday night. Will you actually follow through and fire her? Or that promising applicant with the niche skills you so desperately need who didn't pass the test: Are you sure you want to let him get away? In today's tight job market, situations like these can be difficult, and small companies struggling with growth have it particularly rough. "Especially in high-tech right now, employers generally aren't willing to exclude 'puffers,' " says Abrahamson. "Too many are too educated and good at what they do."
Even an advocate of drug testing like de Bernardo admits that a tight job market can change the way that employers approach the issue of drug testing in the workplace. "Employers tend to relax their standards," he says. "[Lowering the standard] does occur. But it's not a positive thing in the long run."
Keith Snyder, CEO of 5-year-old Snyder Party Rental and Event Services in Charleston, South Carolina, has flirted with the idea of testing his 30 full-time employees and has called for estimates in the past. His current strategy can best be described as "don't ask, don't tell." When hiring, he conducts a background check but stops at that. "For now, I don't want to know if my employees use drugs," Snyder, 34, says. "I've been trying to find a dishwasher for two months. I can't afford to lose people."
Snyder adds that he doesn't feel comfortable judging the workers at his company, which had sales of $2 million in 1999, for the things they do off the job. "Can I fire a good employee for something done outside of work?" he asks. "When it comes down to it, no. I'm not willing to make that choice."
Raj Thiyagarajan, 34, CEO of Msys Inc. in Cary, North Carolina, doesn't test his employees because he prefers to have faith that they'll do the right thing. His business, which does application and Web site development for Fortune 500 companies, doesn't test any of its 40 employees. This isn't because of cost, Thiyagarajan explains, but because he believes in the trust factor. He says that to date, he hasn't encountered any problems with his employees and would want evidence of drug use before taking action. He adds that he'd know if a worker's productivity was dropping off. "Drug addicts wouldn't last long," he says. "We'd be able to tell if they weren't performing well."
Eric Greenberg, director of management studies for the AMA, has this advice for small employers: "Don't ask the question unless you're ready for the answer."
Money Going Up In Smoke?
While productivity is certainly an issue, so is cost. The National Academy of Sciences estimates that U.S. companies as a whole spend almost $1.2 billion annually on drug testing. Most of the companies that took part in the AMA study, however, had never measured the cost-effectiveness of their drug-testing programs. Greenberg says that's because, in the big picture, drug testing isn't all that expensive. The typical cost for a business is only between $35 and $50 per employee. In fact, three-fourths of the companies Greenberg surveyed in 1996 spent less than $5,000 annually on drug testing, especially if they were conducting random tests that only focused on certain departments.
"Because costs aren't large, companies don't do cost analyses," he says. He adds that if, for example, a company is spending $1,000 to test its employees and cost analysis costs the company $2,000, most companies will choose the cheaper option, even though cost analysis might save more money in the long term.
Lewis Maltby, president of the National Workrights Institute, thinks that drug testing is often an "image thing" for big companies. "One large employer told me, 'I don't care if my drug testing lowers accidents and increases productivity. I have government contracts and stockholders. I need to protect my image, and this is pocket change,' " he says.
If you're the owner of a young company, however, the money spent to test employees is more than pocket change; it's money from which you want to see dividends. You'd like to know that it's not going up in smoke. According to Maltby, $2,500 is a significant investment for a small company, and the decision to drug test is hard to make unless there are benefits to testing. In fact, he says, many of today's large companies are quietly changing their programs to conduct fewer random tests to save money.
But many large firms will attest to the benefits of drug education and awareness. According to Greenberg, companies that combined testing with education reported their employees were 33 to 50 percent less likely to report employees testing positive for drug use than businesses lacking a drug-education program. "There's no statistical evidence that testing reduces drug use, but education does," he says.
Abrahamson calls education the "preventative component" and believes employers can benefit most when it's combined with options for treatment. "If you're committed as a small-business employer, you want to address the issue and help the employee, either through counseling or treatment," he says.
Another alternative to traditional drug screening is performance-based testing, also referred to as impairment testing. With this approach, jobs are analyzed to see if they pose a threat to safety, and the employees who hold them are subject to random skill, reflex and mental-processing tests to determine any impairments. Abrahamson says that performance-based testing could be a beneficial way for employers to go: Such tests are based on up-to-the-minute job skill assessment rather than a judgment of drug use, and employees are more likely to accept that as fair.
When It's Right
How can you know if a drug-testing program will ultimately benefit your business? In the end, it depends on your ability to accept the results of the test and follow through on them. When considering pre-employment or random testing, says Abrahamson, "Employers need to ask themselves, 'Will this get me where I want to go?' "
If you think it might be right for your business, make sure you do it right. First, see a lawyer who can explain the workplace drug-testing laws in your state, because some states have eliminated or restricted certain types of testing. Second, check to see that the drug-testing company you choose is certified federally as well as in your state. This is important, because choosing a company with poorly designed tests can lead to false-positive results and potential liabilities. Also, know that even though scientific advances have made hair and sweat testing available, urine testing remains the most reliable and accurate method for drug screening. Finally, as you set up your program, follow the drug-testing guidelines suggested by the Department of Health and Human Services. And make sure your employees understand the policy.

I want my guy to whiten his teeth. How do I gently suggest it?
Honestly, theres no nice way to tell him, says New York City cosmetic dentist Jeff Golub-Evans. Instead, try this tactic: Show him your grin, and tell him youve been whitening and love the results. Hell probably think about doing the same. White strips are a simple at-home option.

As the electrical power distribution market matures, new products are constantly being developed to ease the task of installing and distributing power in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems. While new products often simplify the installation of power within a building or facility, all power distribution wiring systems are subject to failure — and may require testing and troubleshooting to identify problems.
Testing is sometimes performed as preventive maintenance before a failure occurs (Photo 1), or it may be conducted simply to verify or adjust calibration of process specific equipment. After a system failure; however, testing is even more critical when you have to get a system back up and running quickly and safely. For commercial and industrial applications, the loss of electrical power in a facility can be an expensive problem that can lead to reduced productivity and reduced revenue for facility owners.
Electrical workers must be knowledgeable about all of the power distribution systems within a facility in order to maintain electrical integrity. The first step to effective troubleshooting of that equipment is knowing how to take a systematic approach to completing essential maintenance, system verification, or equipment calibration tasks.
Key considerations
Several factors can influence what approach a facility owner establishes for the testing and troubleshooting of power distribution wiring systems, some of which include:
Worker safety — How do I comply with all OSHA, NFPA 70E, and facility specific safety rules (Photo 2)? What are the costs associated with working safely? What might the costs be for not working safely?
The reliability and condition of the system being tested or maintained — Is the system dependable, or should a replacement be considered? What is the cost differential between repair and replacement? Can testing and troubleshooting be accomplished using standard test equipment, or would specialized test equipment provide a better (quicker or safer) testing or troubleshooting solution?
Facility downtime — For testing and troubleshooting projects, how will the process affect production? For equipment failure, what is the best (least expensive, most efficient, etc.) method to minimize downtime? Can work be planned to minimize the impact of that work on the bottom line?
Training solutions
One of the best tools that is often overlooked on any maintenance/repair project is adequate training. Pre-training provides the most cost-effective way to save time and money when completing testing and troubleshooting tasks. Training resources can be as simple as printed tutorials or as dynamic as immersive online courses. In recent years, the use of simulation and interactive activities in online training software has substantially advanced the level of training well beyond what is available in printed resources.
Interactive training provides a safe and inexpensive resource that electrical professionals can use to both develop individual troubleshooting skills and teach the proper use of test equipment, without the dangers involved in live testing. Learners using online test and measurement simulations (Figure) can also become familiar with system testing scenarios before failures occur, thus shortening the time required to get systems back online.
When it comes to the efficient and safe application of testing and troubleshooting procedures for electrical systems, training provides a win-win solution for the electrical maintenance worker. Using online training with immersive interactive simulations, workers can learn how to work smart, efficiently, and safely when completing electrical testing and maintenance projects.
Boyd is a senior director with the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (NJATC) based in Upper Marlboro, Md. The NJATC is the training arm of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the National Electrical Contractors Association. He can be reached at [email protected].
SIDEBAR: Safety First
All industries should be familiar with OSHA — not just the electrical industry. Most maintenance workers are required to have some OSHA training or certification before setting foot in a facility or on a job site. The primary level of training for workers is the OSHA Outreach 10-Hour or 30-Hour Worker Training Program. OSHA training is specific for different industries, and is intended to "provide training for workers and employers on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in workplaces."
In addition to basic OSHA compliance training, however, it is important that electrical workers who must troubleshoot live electrical systems be familiar with NFPA 70E, which provides regulations concerning safe work practices while working with energized electrical systems. Many times, facilities also have their own safety that workers must follow, such as lock-out/tag-out procedures and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements. Fundamental safety training is also available online with interactive simulations that not only provide training in proper procedures when working with live systems, but also demonstrate the consequences of not following proper safety procedures.

Well, the big Conficker.c launch day is upon us and…nothing. So far, anyway. Someone should start selling "I blogged about Conficker and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" shirts. Cafepress, are you listening?
We've been keeping to the back of the room about Conficker, not joining the rising hysteria chorus. It's not that we don't care, but I'll tell you why we're not making a lot of noise: Webroot's malware removal solution effectively deals with Conficker on PCs. That's it. As long as you've got the File System Shield and the Execution Shield enabled in your application (click the Shields button on the left side of the Webroot Antivirus/Internet Security Essentials window, and look for a little picture of a shield next to those labels in the Windows System Shields category), and definitions updated as long as two months ago, we've got your PC's back.
The only people who need to be concerned about this worm are people with no legitimate malware protection — and no, a copy of the rogue application Antivirus 2008/2009/2010 doesn't count — and who haven't checked in with Windows Update since last fall. And even those people only need to worry about the worm's code attaching itself to their PC. As far as we know, that's the only thing it's good at. Oh yes, and pranking the computer security community and the world's press.
So, since we're mentioning it, now would be a good time to head over to Microsoft and check to make sure you have those updates you so sorely are missing. And if you have a copy of our product, click the Options button, then the Update tab, and make sure you have both the latest definitions files and the latest version of the application. If you need either, or both, it'll only take a few seconds on a broadband connection to pull them down.
Then you can get back to life, and stop worrying about whether Conficker is going to destroy the world, kick your cat, and push a baby stroller into the street — or fizzle like a wet firecracker.

Blue Medium Elephant Pouch
$ 12.00
This Blue Medium Elephant Pouch is sewn together by women in Southern India and measures approximately 5 inches tall by 7.5 inches wide. The pouch is made from beautiful fabric originally from an Indian Sari. A Sari is the traditional dress for women in the region, and is worn by wrapping the long cloth around the waist then draping the uniquely embroidered and stitched edge of the fabric around the shoulder. The elegant cloths on the cosmetic bag provide a glamorous grab for your make-up carrying needs. Lined on the inside, and with a zipper, it is a fun yet practical addition to any collection.
Because of the unique fabrics used in this product, no two items are identical. The items are grouped by primary colors and made from the same patchwork fabrics, but we cannot guarantee an exact match to any photo.

How can someone learn about our privacy practices?When we ask for your personal information, we let you know how you can find out about our privacy practices. If we are asking you for information online, such as on one of our Web sites, we will provide a link to our Privacy Promise. If we are asking you to complete a paper form, we will include a privacy notice with additional points of contact for your questions. If you are making a reservation by phone, our operators will be able to answer your privacy questions. Our cruise counselors know about our commitments to your privacy. They will be able to answer your questions and address your concerns. If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices, you may contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What is "personal information"?As used in this Policy, the term "personal information" means information that identifies you personally, either alone or in combination with other information available to us.
What personal information do we collect about you?We believe that in order to make your experience pleasing and comfortable, we must strive to anticipate your needs. There are several ways we collect your personal information when you visit our Web sites or use our services:
* Information You Provide. If you are making a reservation on one of our Web sites, we ask for your name, address, e-mail address, phone number and credit-card number, which we need to secure your reservation. We save that number to facilitate future reservations. If you provide us comments through the "Email Us" features on our Web sites, we provide a way for you to include your contact information, but you can also choose to provide anonymous comments. If you establish a Web site account with us, we ask for your basic contact information to facilitate future online reservations. Another way we try to anticipate your needs is by conducting market research. We occasionally invite our past customers to participate in surveys or focus groups where we ask for your opinions about your experience with us or about new services we are considering. Your participation in our market research is always on a voluntary basis.
* Information Provided by Companies Outside Cruise Holidays. We may, from time to time, obtain information about our customers from other companies, but only if these companies have the right to share that information with us. For example, if we do not have your current e-mail address, we may obtain that information from another company so that we can keep your account up-to-date, but only if the other company has the right to share that information with us.
* Information Sent To Us By Your Browser. Like most commercial Web sites, we collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser when you access our Web site. This information typically includes the IP address of your Internet service provider, the type of your operating system, and the type of your browser. The information we receive depends on the settings on your web browser. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings. We use this information to create statistics that help us improve our Web site and make them more compatible with the technology used by our visitors. The information provided by your browser does not identify you personally. However, we may review our server logs for security purposes, such as detecting intrusions into our network. If we suspect criminal activity, we might share our server logs - which contain visitors' IP addresses - with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify individuals. In addition, if you access this Web site through an e-mail we have sent you, we may link the information provided by your browser to information in our records that identifies you personally.
* Information Collected Using "Cookies." Like many commercial Web sites, we use "cookies." A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web server. Cookies cannot be used to install computer programs or deliver viruses to your computer. We may use "session cookies" to assign a randomly-generated unique identification number to your computer. A session cookie expires after you close your browser. The information provided by cookies do not identify you personally. * Information Collected by cruise counselors. The stores within the Cruise Holidays brand are owned and operated independently of the Travel Leaders Leisure Group. Because they are separate businesses, we can't control all of the ways they may collect and use guest information. We do, however, require our cruise counselors to comply with all applicable legal requirements regarding the privacy of your information. If you provide us comments, we use your information to improve our services.
How can you access your personal information?The easiest way to access and review your key account information is to contact the specific store that you have done business with. For your protection, we may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. In most cases, we will correct or delete any inaccurate information you discover. In some cases, however, we may limit or deny your request if the law permits or requires us to do so. What steps do we take to make sure your personal information is accurate?You may update or correct key information relating to your account at any time by contacting us. In addition, from time to time, we may invite you to review and update key information relating to your account. We may also try to ensure that our customer addresses remain current by checking them against national change-of-address lists that postal services make available. We take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized alteration. If you become aware that any of the personal information in our records is inaccurate or has been altered, please contact us.
How do we use your personal information?We use your personal information to make your travel reservations; to provide your requested travel-related services; to process your payment; to maintain your account; to communicate with you regarding your account and future travel with us.
After you change your preferences, you may continue, for a time, to receive promotional messages in accordance with your former preferences. This may happen because we may have shared your personal information with a third party in connection with a specific campaign before you changed your privacy preferences. If you receive an unwanted e-mail message, you should use the "opt-out" link contained in that message to communicate directly with the sender. If you choose not to receive any promotional communications from us, we will not send you purely promotional messages. We may still contact you for administrative purposes, such as confirming a transaction you've made, informing you of your account status, or inviting you to reconsider your privacy preferences. To no longer receive any communications from us, you will need to close any accounts with us.
Do we share your information with other companies?Depending on your privacy preferences, we may share your personal information in the ways described below: * Cruise Holidays Cruise Counselors. Many cruise counselors operating under a Cruise Holidays brand are independently owned and operated businesses. In order to process reservations with them, fulfill customer requests, and update customer privacy preferences, we will share customer information with these travel agents.
* Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your personal information with companies and organizations that perform services on our behalf. For example, we use a third party to deliver our e-mails to you. Our third-party service providers are only authorized to use your personal information to perform services on our behalf and are required to protect the confidentiality of your personal information.
* Third-Party Marketing Partners. If you have given us permission to do so, we may share your personal information with third parties who will use the information to send you information and offers that they believe will be of interest to you.
* Refer-a-Friend. Occasionally we will include a "refer-a-friend" feature in our promotions where we will ask you for your friend's name and e-mail address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time e-mail inviting your friend to visit the Web site. * Sweepstakes. Occasionally, we feature sweepstakes offers on our Web sites. If you enter these sweepstakes, The Travel Leaders Leisure Group or our suppliers will hold your registration information. If you win the sweepstakes, we may provide your registration information to a sweepstakes partner company for the purpose of providing you your prize.
* Law Enforcement. There are other, limited circumstances in which we or the companies with which we share your personal information may share or transfer your personal information to unrelated third parties. For example, we may provide personal information to a third party when we believe it is necessary to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to comply with a court order or subpoena; to comply with a legal requirement; to protect your vital interests; or in connection with a sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, financing, liquidation, dissolution, or similar event. When we disclose information under these or similar circumstances, we take appropriate steps to limit use and protect the confidentiality of your personal information. Does our Web site use spyware?Our Web site does not use spyware. The term "spyware" refers to a software program that, when installed on your computer, changes settings, displays advertising, or tracks your Internet behavior and reports information back to a central database. Spyware is usually installed on your computer without your knowledge and can be very difficult to remove. Do we collect personal information from children?We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do not give us any information that identifies you personally. If we learn that a member of the Program is, in fact, under 13, we will freeze that individual's account and send that person an e-mail requesting that a parent or guardian contact us to help us correct the situation.
How long do we keep your personal information?We keep your personal information for as long as we need it for the purposes for which it was collected, or to which you have consented, or as permitted by applicable law. Do we transfer your personal information outside your country of residence?Travel Leaders Leisure Group, its travel brands, and Travel Leaders Group are all U.S. or Canadian corporations. This Web site may be hosted on Web servers located in the United States or Canada. Our data and call centers are located in the United States, although we may at times use supplemental facilities located outside of these countries. We share the personal information we collect with third-party service providers, our Partners, and others around the world as described in this Policy. When we transfer your personal information to another country, we take appropriate measures to protect your privacy and personal information. In addition, no matter where we transfer your personal information, it will remain subject to the terms of this Policy and your privacy preferences.
You should know that different countries have different data-protection laws, some of which provide more protection than others. By using this Web site and participating in this Program, you are consenting to the transfer of your personal information to any country in the world, but only in accordance with the terms of this Policy.
How do we protect your personal information?We maintain appropriate physical, technological, and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, our data networks are protected by firewalls and intrusion-detection sensors. Only those who have a "need-to-know" are authorized to access member accounts, and only after they've been trained on our security procedures. Although we use reasonable measures to help protect your personal information and comply with applicable data security laws, it's important that you understand that no Web site or database is completely secure, or "hacker proof."
What about links to other Web sites?Our Web sites contain links to Web sites operated by other companies, including Web sites operated by our third-party service providers, other members of Travel Leaders Group, and unrelated third parties. This privacy policy does not apply to any of these other Web sites. When you access other Web sites through a link on this Web site, please take a few minutes to review their terms of use and privacy statements.
How do we enforce our privacy promises?We communicate our privacy promises to our employees and train employees handling member information on their roles and responsibilities in protecting your privacy. We regularly assess the privacy and security practices of our Web sites, databases, and other member-information systems to identify ways we can improve our data practices. How do we make notification of changes to this Policy?We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Policy at any time. The level of notice we provide when we change this Policy will depend on the nature of the change. In any event, changes to this Policy may affect our use of personal information that you provided us prior to the effective date of the changes.
* Minor Changes. If we make only minor changes to this Policy, we will replace this Policy with the new Policy and change the "effective" date at the top of this Policy. We will also provide a notice at the top of this Policy for at least 30 days after the new effective date. Your continued use of this Web site following a minor change to this Policy will indicate your acceptance of the revised Policy. Minor changes include, for example, changes to the list of members of Travel Leaders Group and changes to our contact information.
* Material Changes. We notify you of any material changes to this Policy by sending you a notice by e-mail at the last e-mail address you provided us. Our notice may include a link or direct you to visit this Web site to review the revised Policy. We also provide a notice at the top of the revised Policy for at least 30 days after the new effective date and highlight the changes in the Policy so that you can locate them easily. Material changes to this Policy will be effective as of the effective date included in the notice to you or, if no effective date is included, 30 calendar days after we send the notice to you at the last e-mail address you provided us. If the last e-mail address you provided us is not valid or current, or if for any other reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our mailing of the notice to your last e-mail address will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. You expressly agree that communication of material changes as described above will be sufficient notice of material changes to this Policy and you agree to assume responsibility for reviewing the modified Policy. Your continued participation in the Program following such notice will indicate your acceptance of the revised Policy. If you do not agree to the changes in our Policy, you must notify us prior to the effective date of the changes that you wish to deactivate your account with us.
What if your privacy concern is not addressed to your satisfaction?If your Web site privacy-related concern isn't addressed to your satisfaction, you may contact us at email@example.com.

The Quicken Retirement Calculator
You need to think about your retirement now. Fortunately, the Quicken Retirement Calculator can help you. Imagine that you decide to jump into your employer's 401(k) thing (a type of profit-sharing plan) and that it allows you to plop $6,000 into a retirement account that you think will earn about 9 percent annually.
Fortunately, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure this stuff out. You can just use the Retirement Calculator:
Display the Retirement Calculator.
Click the Planning tab. Click the Planning Tools button. Choose the Retirement command. Quicken displays the Retirement Calculator dialog box.
Enter your current age.
Move the cursor to the Current Age text box and type a number.
Enter your retirement age.
Move the cursor to the Retirement Age text box and type a number. Again, this is purely a personal matter.
Enter the age to which you want to continue withdrawals.
Move the cursor to the Withdrawal Until Age field and type a number. This number is how old you think you'll be when you die. Ideally you want to run out of steam — there, that's a safe metaphor — before you run out of money. So go ahead and make this age something pretty old — like 95.
Enter what you've already saved as your current savings.
Move the cursor to the Current Savings text box and type your current retirement savings: for example, if you have some IRA money or you've accumulated a balance in an employer-sponsored 401(k) account. Don't worry if you don't have anything saved — most people don't.
Enter the annual yield that you expect your retirement savings to earn.
Move the cursor to the Annual Yield text box and type the percent. 9 percent is slightly less than the average return that the stock market produces over long periods of time.
You can use the long-term return the stock market delivers as your expected yield if you're taking a do-it-yourself approach, investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks (such as through mutual funds), and you're really watching your investment expenses — such as would be the case if you're using low-cost index funds to keep costs low.
If you're working with a financial planner that charges you, say, 1 percent a year, obviously, your return will be 1 percent less in effect. Also, if you're investing some portion of your money into lower-risk investments like bonds, that approach (although perhaps very prudent) will slightly reduce your annual yield.
Enter the anticipated inflation rate.
Move the cursor to the Inflation Rate text box and type the inflation rate. By the way, in recent history, the inflation rate has averaged just above 3 percent.
Enter the annual amount added to your retirement savings.
Move the cursor to the Annual Contribution text box and type the amount that you or your employer will add to your retirement savings at the end of each year.
Enter any other income you'll receive — such as Social Security.
Move the cursor to the Other Retirement Income (SSI, and so forth) text box and type a value. Note that this income is in current-day, or uninflated, dollars. By the way, you can visit the SSA website and use its Estimate Your Retirement Benefits link to get a good working estimate of your future retirement benefits.
Indicate whether you plan to save retirement money in a tax-sheltered investment.
Select the Tax Sheltered Investment option button if your retirement savings earn untaxed money. Select the Non-Sheltered Investment option button if the money is taxed. Tax-sheltered investments are such things as IRAs, annuities, and employer-sponsored 401(k)s and 403(b)s. (A 403(b) is kind of a profit-sharing plan for a nonprofit agency.)
As a practical matter, tax-sheltered investments are the only way to ride. By deferring income taxes on your earnings, you earn interest on the money you otherwise would have paid as income tax.
Enter your current marginal tax rate, if needed.
If you're investing in taxable stuff, move the cursor to the Current Tax Rate text box. Then type the combined federal and state income tax rate that you pay on your last dollars of income.
Enter your anticipated retirement tax rate.
Move the cursor to the Retirement Tax Rate text box, and then . . . hey, wait a minute. Who knows what the rates will be next year, let alone when you retire? You probably should type 0, but remember that Annual Retirement Income after Taxes is really your pretax income (just as your current salary is really your pretax income).
Indicate whether the annual additions will increase.
Select the Increase Based on Inflation Rate check box if the additions will increase annually by the inflation rate (because your salary and 401(k) contributions will presumably inflate if there's inflation).
After you enter all the information, click Calculate and take a peek at the Annual Retirement Income After Taxes field.
If you want to see the after-tax income in future-day, inflated dollars, deselect the Show in Today's $ check box but leave the Increase Based on Inflation Rate check box selected.
To get more information on the annual deposits, balances, income, and so on, click the View Schedule button, which appears on the face of the Retirement Calculator dialog box. Quicken whips up a quick little report showing the annual deposits, income, and ending retirement account balances for each year you plan to add to and withdraw from your retirement savings.

Herb & Garden Guild
Life begins the day you start a garden - Chinese Proverb.
Please feel welcome to browse this website for the Herb & Garden Guild of the Kingom of Lochac within the Society for Creative Anachronism for which the Watering Can is the guild symbol.
The main aim of the website is to provide contact information for prospective members on how to contact the guild and sign up to its email list. The site also provides information about the guild, its newsletters, its projects and references for medieval herb and garden lore. Please use the leaves to navigate the SCA herb and garden site.
We start with a garden riddle from the Exeter Riddle Book (originally written in Olde English):-
A strange object caught my eye, used to feed cattle by men of every town; it has many teeth and is useful to men as it scrapes around, its face to the ground. It plunders greedily, searching for plants along the grassy slopes, and brings them home; it always finds those which are not rooted firmly, but leaves the beautiful living flowers behind, quietly standing where they spring from the soil, brightly gleaming, blooming, growing.
News & Updates:-
Membership News :-
  Congratulations to Lady Claricia filia Wilelmi dapiferi as the new head of the guild. To get in touch with Lady Claricia please visit Contacts .
  Although the guild has a facebook page, to be a member of the guild you need to join the Mailing List. The facebook address is also linked from Contacts .
Research News :-
  Guild Members occasionally perform research on aspects of medieval life. In doing such research it was discovered the following very pretty quote on Rosemary (also known as Rosmary, Rosmarie, Rosemarie, Rosmarinus, Rosmarine, Romero) has been widely attributed to a 16th Century author then known as Sir Thomas More.
  "As for rosemarie, I lett it run alle over my garden walls,
  not onlie because my bees love it,
  but because 'tis the herb sacred to remembrance and therefore to friendship,
  whence a sprig of it hath a dumb language that maketh ye chosen emblem at our funeral wakes and in our buriall grounds."
  This quote was actually written in 1852 by Anne Manning in her fictional novel "The Household of St Thomas More" and so is misattributed to Sir Thomas More (rather than being a misquote).
Guild History:-
  The Herb and Garden Guild Charter was accepted by their majesties at Rowany Festival on April 7th 2007 (A.S. XLI) to become a guild within the Kingdom of Lochac. The guild, started by Caristiona nic Beathain and Sigurd Trygvason (or Sigurd Tryggvason or even Sigurd Trygvarsson), had already existed informally for a number of years within the then Principality of Lochac with its newsletter being produced prior to A.S XXXIII March 2000. The first newsletter is undated and this is the date of the 2nd Herb and Garden Guild Newsletter.

Poll: Chinese Use 'Daddies' to Get Ahead
To get ahead in China, you need the right daddy.
So says a recent online survey showing that nearly 84% of respondents believe the young people around them would prefer to play a game of pin die rather than work hard. Meaning something like "powerful daddy," the phrase refers to competing on the basis of family background. By that, they mean in terms of jobs – more than 80% said they believe many young people have relied on pin die to get ahead at work.
The survey was conducted by the Social Survey Center of the China Youth Daily, a state-run newspaper, and web portal Sohu.com.
The report said that among the 3,809 respondents, only about 10% of them said they value hard work in becoming successful. When they were asked what occurred to them first when they ran into problems, about 36% said they regretted that they lacked a "good daddy." While 35% said they chose to solve problems by themselves, 25% said they would ask their daddy to tackle the problem for them.
Online reaction to the survey results was divided. "It's a sure thing, as a daddy provides an opportunity for you," said one Sina Weibo user.
"This is horrible," said another. "An overturning of the value system."
China's economy has been surging every year for the past three decades, but job hunting still remains a thorny road for young people in China, especially college graduates. Statistics from Ministry of Education show that the number of college graduates totaled 6.99 million this year. That number is up by 190,000 compared to last year, a record high in the past decade.
China's economic slowdown is taking some of the edge off labor demand. Some Chinese media have called this year the most difficult year ever for job hunting.
A privileged family background can give some kids a boost in the job market. As media outlets reported earlier this week, top-tier international investment banks and multinational organizations including Credit Suisse Group AG and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. have employed the offspring of current and former government officials.
"It has been like this forever," said Nelson Li, who works for an international investment bank after working for many other financial institutions in China. Referring to the Chinese term for "connections," he added, "China is a society ruled by human beings, and guanxi matters a lot."
"The job competition was not as fierce in the past as it is now, so job applicants could earn a good position easily by academic and professional excellence," said Mr. Li. "But now the number of open positions has decreased dramatically, so for employers, having a capable and resourceful employee can maximize their economic benefit."
The survey suggests many people envy those who can play pin die. About two thirds of the respondents said the most important reason for that envy is that "hard work is full of difficulties," while 58% said "resources are concentrated on a small group of people" and 56% said "those who break the law to pin die didn't get due punishment."
The majority of respondents expressed concern that many young people lack motivation, while a little less than half said they were concerned that young people may not be able to earn a bright future for themselves.
The survey isn't the first to suggest a number of young Chinese people are losing their edge. A survey by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences last year showed that young Chinese are reluctant to start up their own business and lack a spirit of innovation, with only 1.6% of college graduates chose to be their own boss in 2011.

After a 20-minute rain delay, their penchant for rough starts resurfaced in a 6-2 loss to defending American League champion Detroit.
And for the third time in four starts, rookie left-hander John Danks (0-3) didn't receive any run support despite a photocopy of a horseshoe for good luck that hung in his locker before the game.
The Sox were one out away from being shut out for the second time this season before Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya hit A.J. Pierzynski on the ankle on an 0-2 count, and then walked four consecutive batters.
Manager Ozzie Guillen resisted the temptation to use injured sluggers Jermaine Dye (stiff lower back) or Jim Thome (irritation in the right rib cage) as a pinch-hitter, instead allowing Brian Anderson to bat against closer Todd Jones.
Anderson, starting for the second consecutive game, grounded to third to end the game.
Anderson's status could be in question because Darin Erstad has impressed Guillen in center field and the Sox don't have a veteran right-handed-hitting backup center fielder.
After the game, Guillen defended his decision to stick with the 25-year-old Anderson against Jones, but the Sox cleared room on the 40-man roster for an acquisition by outrighting first baseman Casey Rogowski to Triple-A Charlotte.
"I don't know yet," Guillen said in response to the possibility of sending Anderson to Charlotte to play regularly. "We have 12 pitchers. If we send him down, we have to get another guy to play center field to help us in the outfield. I don't know yet if that decision will be made. We haven't talked about it yet.
"It's hard to get comfortable in [Anderson's reserve] role and play once a week."
Anderson, who lost his center-field job when Erstad was acquired as a free agent during the off-season, is batting .118 after his 0-for-4 performance.
"On those days I'm playing, I just need to relax and accept a base hit," said Anderson, who is 2-for-17. "I think I'm trying to make up for lost time. The sooner I get through that and take some easy swings through the zone, I'll be all right."
The Sox have the same feeling about Danks, who was saddled with a 3-0 deficit after four batters. Danks settled down but was outpitched by Chad Durbin, who limited the Sox to three hits and struck out a career-high nine in eight innings.
Unlike Friday, when Danks allowed one run through the first four innings, the Tigers pounced on Danks' off-speed pitches. The first four batters in the Tigers' lineup were a combined 8-for-12 against him.
"They stacked the lineup with right-handed hitters," said Danks, who has received two runs of support in his four starts. "And [the changeup] is the most effective pitch to right-handed hitters."
Slow starts have become a common occurrence for the Sox, who have been outscored 25-8 in first innings.
They have allowed 14 first-inning runs in their last five games, including 10 in the last three games against Detroit.
The Sox's depth was stretched further when Rob Mackowiak, starting in place of Dye, was pulled after hitting a double because of a lower abdominal strain. Mackowiak, who is 6-for-19, was listed as day-to-day. Guillen said his move was precautionary.
"They have to understand we're going to miss [Scott] Podsednik more than what I thought," Guillen said. "And that's why I took him out."

There is a growing buzz about Adam Greenberg, who? I'm sure that's what you are thinking as Adam Greenberg is not a house hold major league name, but it's someone who many Cubs fans remember. We mostly remember him for his tough to swallow story, now that story is being brought back into the light thanks to oneatbat.com, here's a recap of Adam's story via One at Bat…
On July 9, 2005, Adam Greenberg was about to have his lifelong dream of playing Major League baseball come true. The Chicago Cubs called him up from the minors and in the 9th inning, in a game against the Florida Marlins, he got the call to pinch hit. On the very first pitch from Valerido de los Santos, Greenberg was struck in the back of the head by a 92-mile-per-hour fastball. He suffered a concussion and was immediately removed from the game.
Adam was sent down to the minors for a rehab assignment, but struggled with severe vertigo and other symptoms of post concussion syndrome. Adam's career and life were put on hold for a year and a half. Since then, Adam has played for several minor and independent league clubs trying to get a second chance in the Major Leagues.
Of the almost 17,500 people to play in Major League baseball, Adam Greenberg is the only player to have his career end on the very first pitch. In fact, according to Major League rules, Adam's debut only counts as a plate appearance, not an official at bat.
What is One at Bat?

Players Offer At Bat from Triple Threat TV on Vimeo.
I remember that game like it was yesterday, Matt Murton was also called up to make his Major League debut that same day. The folks over at One at Bat have a simple goal, to get Adam Greenberg the official at bat he deserves. There is a petition on the website that you can sign to help the cause and spread the word. I admire the effort, and it's a story that should be told. As you will see in the video the dream scenario would be to have Adam get that at bat with the team he made his debut with, the Cubs.
Paul Sullivan did some digging yesterday, and was able to get an updated comment from Hoyer, which puts to bed the thought of Greenberg coming back to the Cubs for one at bat.
"Adam made the big leagues based on merit in 2005," Hoyer said in an email. "While it is unfortunate he got hit in his first at-bat, he is in the Baseball Encyclopedia as a major leaguer and he should be incredibly proud of that. We wish him the best, but there are no plans to add him to the roster now or in the future."
Greenberg Responds:
"Would they just throw me out there? No," he said. "Would they bring back Roger Clemens for just one game to delay his Hall of Fame vote? Yes. There's no difference, though, as a publicity stunt."
I really hope Adam get back to the big leagues, he was and will always be recognized as a major league ballplayer, his career was just the shortest ever. Best of luck Adam! Please head over to oneatbat.com to sign the petition and show your support!
[UPDATE] Per this ESPN.com article, Adam Greenberg will indeed get another at bat with the Marlins. Good for him, it's amazing what someone's passion can turn into, congrats to Adam and Oneatbat.com for making it happen.
Thanks for reading,
– George

Expressions of Hope is a collection of personal experiences from crystal meth addicts in recovery. This newly expanded and revised edition has been redesigned around the stages of the recovery process: personal stories of powerlessness and hopelessness before entering the rooms, working the program of recovery, application of the common tools and suggestions, and learning how to face life on life's terms in sobriety.
The selected stories, articles and readings were chosen to represent a wide range of topics, including physical health, intimate relationships (including marriage and children), becoming sober in prison (and reintegrating after being released), and even the economic crisis. Though the selections are diverse and were written by those in early recovery as well as those with long-term sobriety, the message conveyed throughout this book is that no matter how bleak life seems right now, there is always HOPE.
The books are available now at the low price of $8.00 per copy.

Spot with fantastic conditions for freestyle kitesurfing due incredible wind statistics and flat water. Nothing to do except kiting. In a few years small lagoon will be overcrowded and not worth visiting. We stayed 3 months in 2012 and really enjoyed there.
There is small lagoon (google "kitekuda" or "kappaladi lagoon"), which is best (more flat and less gusty). Only one small piece is perfect flat, not more than 5 kitesurfers at given time.
And there is big lagoon (Sethawadi lagoon). Wind is really gusty, water is not that flat. Area is much bigger, it can suit lots of kitesurfers.
There are islands to do kite trip, really nice, but far away (1 hour by boat). Nice to visit 1-2 times.
Lagoons are perfect flat near shore, tiny chop in general. Shallow from knee deep, waist deep (mostly), overhead (only small parts).
May to September almost every day. Strongest in May. We arrived in mid-April, wind was blowing every single day! 2-3 days for 12-14m², half for 9m², half for 7m². Little gusty, but I don't care, since its ideally flat.
There is wind in winter time too, season in October-November, 2-3 days in a week, thermal wind in afternoon for 12m² kite.
Wind is blowing offshore in lagoons, but since its shallow, its not a problem.
Overpriced in general. Don't expect AC, hot water, only basic things.
There are few kitecamps (KiteKuda - clients complaining, Kitesurfing Lanka - better, Unhooked — new one with good food). There are few guesthouses/hotels with prices like 35-40€ per day with full board (3 meals, which is good, since there is no food around).
There are plenty of $100+ "luxury" accommodation.
There are rooms for rent in houses for $12 (crappy houses).
Nothing. Only street food ("roti"), 2 shitty restaurants (not tasty). Its better to find good accomodation with full board and good cook. Another option is to rent a house with kitchen and cook for yourself (we did that).
Next supermarket is located in Puttalam.
"Unhooked kite camp" can serve you good dinner, if you ask them beforehand.
Going around
You can rent three-wheeler (tuk-tuk) for small distances (5-10 km). If you want to go longer distances (say go to supermarket every week), if you want to get out everyday, you can rent a van/jeep/lorry or tuk-tuk/motorbike. Its really difficult to find someone to help you with personal transport. Much easier to rent transport in Negombo, so if you plan long time stay, its better to rent vehicle there.
Roads are shit, lots of places with sand. Its better to think about jeep/truck 4x4.
3G dongle was showing good speed (up to 1 mbps) in summer 2012. "Mobitel" provider has best coverage of Kalpitiya. Its clever to buy dongle and sim card in airport, so you won't waste lots of time on arrival.
AirArabia is flying really cheap to Colombo. AirAsia flies from asian destinations too.
No wind?
Nothing to do [in Kalpitiya], except going around for sightseeing. Temples, national parks, that's it.

I graduated from The George Washington University with a degree in international affairs, and I am fluent in Russian and speak Spanish, as well. I try to live a very active, healthy lifestyle and I have been an athlete all my life, but nothing compares to the satisfaction and happiness that a furry family member can bring you!
My fiancee and I currently live in Fort Lauderdale, with our four legged daughters, Izzy, a 2 year old Boxer mix, and Jade, a 2 year old Catahoula/Greyhound mix, both of our amazing girls were rescues from the Humane Society of Broward County. I absolutely LOVE to spend as much free time with our girls as I can. We love to take them to the dog park, the beach, or just around town on an adventure! Personally, I believe it's important to take care of our dogs the way we take care of ourselves, after all, they love us unconditionally and ask nothing in return! I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your girls and boys when you can't be there for them, and hopefully, make their day a little bit better!
Daily dog walking, dog/cat sitting, and overnight boarding (either in my home or yours), are just some of the services I can provide. If you are interested in any of these services or have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or e-mail me.
