Everyone gets stressed out from time to time. Relieving stress in a healthy way should be a routine part of everyone's life. However, if you have anxiety you may be more prone to stress and less able to eliminate it from your life. Anxiety can make you feel like you're in a constant state of worry. It may seem never-ending. For the anxious person stress relief may not be easy, but may be essential to calming your mind. Here are some stress relief tips for those who struggle with anxiety.
Explore the why's
Take the time to learn more about your anxiety. Were you an anxious child? Does something in particular seem to set it off? Has anything worked to calm you down in the past? Investigating can help you gain perspective as to what issues may be causing your anxious feelings. Finding out the source of an issue is the first step to fixing it.
Try to relieve stress with aromatherapy. Some say the use of scents for relaxation purposes goes back thousands of years. You can use one oil on its own or combine multiple oils to create your own blend. Play with different scents to find a combination that works for you.
Distract yourself
Find things to do to keep your mind away from worrying thoughts. Take note of the things that have given you a mental diversion in the past. Try to do something you've put off. Is there a new hobby you've wanted to try? If something puts a smile on your face, it may distract your mind from intrusive thoughts and bad feelings.
Go outdoors
Sometimes a change of scenery can be just what it takes to help you chill out. Let nature be the therapeutic tool you need to reduce your stress levels. Take a walk alone or with a friend. Make a game out of it and take a child on a nature hunt and write down the different types of flowers and plants you both find. Whether you're a nature lover or not, fresh air and colorful surroundings can induce a feeling that can overpower your bad thoughts.
Try relaxing in the shower or taking a bath. The calming effect warm water has on your body can trigger your mind to relax. Connecting your mind and body may be just what you need to be still and serene. Combine this with the above-mentioned aromatherapy and you have the perfect tool to reduce your stress and anxiety.
Attempt to do breathing exercises. Slow, controlled breaths can center your mind and help put you in a mind-frame that is more peaceful. From websites to videos and eBooks, the internet is full of useful resources that can help with this.
These methods are just a few that can help you get on the road to stress relief. You've taken the first step by reading this. Help yourself by researching and learning more to help those anxious feelings and take away as much stress as you can. Do you have any tips? Please share below!

Angelina Jolie's face powder faux pas
Red carpet beauty blunder sees Angelina Jolie suffer from the perils of a powder overload at the premiere of The Normal Heart
ANGELINA Jolie appeared on the red carpet last night with embarrassing contouring that would make even her evil character Maleficent blush.
The actress is usually the epitome of perfection when she makes a public appearance, however Angelina's recent makeup mishap shows that she is just like the rest of us.
Aside from the obvious white powder – perhaps made more visible in the glare of photographic flashes - Angelina (38) managed to appear sophisticated in a simple black satin dress at the New York premiere of The Normal Heart on Monday Might.
The Normal Heart, profiling the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City between 1981 and 1984, was produced by her husband Brad Pitt.
Angelina is the title star of the hotly anticipated Maleficent, a $200million production that retells the story of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the menacing character.
The two-time Oscar-winning actress recently spoke about why she prefers to play villains: "What isn't there to like about Maleficent? She was my favourite when I was little. I wasn't into princesses and I thought she was so elegant and so powerful," she said.
"She scared me a little bit, but I think it's a natural thing for children, and everybody to want to understand their fears and to get closer to those things - the shadows, the dark and what frightens us - so I was always curious."
Angelina's five-year-old daughter Vivienne makes her acting debut in the film. Elle Fanning, Sam Riley, Lesley Manville, Juno Temple and Imelda Staunton also star in the film.
Angelina picked Lana Del Rey to sing the main theme song of the film, 'Once Upon a Dream'.
Maleficent is due for release on May 30th 2014- the 55th anniversary of Walt Disney's classic Sleeping Beauty (1959).

|Dr.Susan Kurian
As we head into the final week of lent, it is probably a good time to have a few minutes to think about the Great Lent of 2013. Traditionally our forefathers would devote these seven weeks of Lent to a period of strictly disciplined life style and prayers. They would have achieved this by sticking to a vegan diet and many other practices that help to strengthen the will. The days would be spent in prayer and meditation with an emphasis on kneeling often during each prayer. Lent commemorates the 40 days that Jesus spent in prayer when he was constantly tested by the devil. It attempts to give a feel and taste of what it means to be tempted, resist the temptation and eventually develop a strong will power with the help of prayer and belief.
Of course, our generation may not follow the Lenten practices as strictly as our forefathers, but many of you might have 'set' some personal goals and 'defined' self-discipline in some manner. Many of you would have successfully achieved what you wished to attain by way of self-discipline/sacrifice and some of you are probably feeling very critical of 'failing' in your promises/goals. Either way you must be thankful for being able to use the opportunity to test and curb your temptation. If you were able to observe a disciplined and prayerful lent, you are truly blessed and the enriching experience will surely hold you in good stead in the coming months. If you feel like you could have done better - do not despair! This is a gentle reminder that you are only human. By being true to yourself you now have the possibility of exploring prayer and yourselves. And then there may be the few for whom the last six weeks would have been no different from the weeks before.
Whatever your particular case, for all of us the week to come has a lot in store. Our community's worship and practices present a great opportunity to try and live the life of Jesus - the son of God who was born a man. Back home, this is a time when the community physically spends a lot more time at church. It is a period with elaborate prayers and rituals - all designed and intended to give us a chance to relive that period of pain and sacrifice. Let us put our hearts and souls and leap into the depths of the coming week beginning with Palm Sunday on the 24th March and culminating with the Easter services on the 31st March. If it is not possible to actively participate in communal worship let us relive the fond memories of our younger days or get our elders to speak about their experiences from their younger days. Every exercise is some exercise.
Together, let us complete a successful Great Lent of 2013 and try to be reborn as spiritually, emotionally and physically enriched souls when Easter brings spring, sunshine and good times with it. Pope Francis rightly said so in his inaugural speech that we must remember that God created man to protect and nourish the world - the nature around us, other creatures that we share this earth with and continuing in that same spirit; we must love and serve our less fortunate brethren.

Boolean Search Help
Boolean Anatomy Search
1. To find components in the anatomy tree, expand the tree or type all or part of the name of the component/structure you wish to find in the 'Find components in tree' text box. TS = Theiler Stage.
2. Click on a component in the tree to add it to the Boolean Search (3.). The example shown here is using 'testis'. The selected component appears in red in the right-hand section (3.). To correct a mistake, click again on the component: this will remove it from the search.
The same component may appear at different locations in the anatomy tree depending on developmental stage, e.g. renal vesicle (TS20-21) and renal vesicle (TS22-27). The stage range is disregarded when selecting a component for the Boolean Search, for example both renal vesicle (TS20-21) and renal vesicle (TS22-27) will just give 'renal vesicle' as the search term. The Theiler Stage range is then set separately in the editable parameter in the right-hand section (3.).
3. Up to 3 components can be incorporated into an advanced query. Use the pull-down menus and click-boxes to select the desired stage range, expression, pattern and location (Checking 2 boxes for expression will search for e.g. present OR uncertain). You can then repeat steps 1 - 3 to added in a second or third component to the query.
The interactive query builder allows you to build queries with up to 3 terms. In queries with 3 terms (2 operators), precedence is given to the first Boolean operator.
Example 1: A AND B OR C = (A AND B) OR C.
Example 2: A OR B AND C = (A OR B) AND C.
The built query is shown at the bottom of the page (4.). This can be modified or extended using the same syntax (see help).
4. Click 'Run Query' to execute query or 'Save Query' to save. Queries with more than 3 terms can be built in text form in the text box at the foot of the Boolean Anatomy Search page using the Boolean Search Syntax. The Boolean Search Syntax Help Page gives a guide to using this syntax. In queries with more than 2 terms, precedence is given to the first operator and all other operators are treated independently.
The query searches for either genes or GUDMAP entries. Use the pull-down selection menu at the top of the right-hand panel (3.) to choose between the two.

What are the implications of the case for Atticus and his family in light of the later events of To Kill a Mockingbird?
- print Print
- list Cite
Atticus admits that taking on the defense of Tom Robinson was a case he had hoped he would never have to accept. Atticus did not seek to represent Tom; instead, he was asked by Judge John Taylor to take the case, since the judge knew that Tom would receive better representation from Atticus than from the normal public defender. Atticus knew that many members of the town would not be happy with him defending a black man accused of raping a white woman; he also knew that his family might be outcast and possibly even subject to threats or other dangers from the town. Scout had to deal with insults at school, and the children heard whispering about the family on the streets of Maycomb. Atticus faced injury and even death on the night the lynch mob came to take Tom from the jail. Afterward, he was subject to more scorn and gossip (ex: the missionary circle tea). Bob Ewell made threats against Atticus and his family, and Bob even paid a visit to Judge Taylor's house after dark. Although Atticus tried to assure his family that they were safe, Bob's actions on the fateful Halloween night showed just how far he would go to get revenge on Atticus.

Just as I posted about mid-calf pencil skirts, I ran across this pic on LA insider, stylist, and friend Duke Hagenburger's blog. Mila looks amazing in this dress, doesn't she? Obviously she's a trendsetting winner.
On the other hand, as Duke points out, Justin's look is totally ruined by his pants that are too long. Fail!
Do the Simon Spurr suit justice and have it hemmed, man! It's unfortunate because the classic suit (which could be linen) is so chic. In the movie, I noticed the same issue with his hem lines. He must be trying to make a statement because no stylist in their right mind would let a celeb walk out of the house, let alone on a set, looking like that.
As for the movie, it's solid. Wait for it to come out on Video On Demand and curl up in bed to watch it.Tweet this!

On July 24, 1861 Lieut. Col. John Robert Baylor let 300 men consisting of two companies and the second Texas mountain rifles, a Texas light artillery company without it's howitzers in El Paso County scout company, and some civilians from Fort Bliss to Fort Fillmore, New Mexico Territory.
The Texans reached the vicinity of Fort Fillmore at night and placed themselves between the fort and it's water supply at the river. Baylor canceled I planned attack after learning that one of his men had warned the garrison. His Texans forded the Rio Grande and early that afternoon entered nearby Mesilla, and strongly pro-Confederate community. With 380 infantry and hunted rifleman, plus howitzers, Union major Isaac Lynde, approached the Mesilla from the south on July 25. Baylor rejected his demand for surrender. Lyne ordered a return to the fort. The Confederates remained in Mesilla, fearing a trap. Baylor sent to El Paso for artillery and additional men. When Lynde found out that Baylor had sent for artillery, he ordered Fort Fillmore abandoned that night. Because Baylor blocked the shortest retreat route, north up the Rio Grande toward Fort Craig, Lynde and his troops headed northeast toward San Augustine Pass in the Organ Mountains with the objective to reach Fort Stanton, 150 miles away.
At sunrise on July 27, Baylor discovered Lynde's withdrawal. Baylor's troops and some "Arizona" civilians gave chase. By the time Baylor's speediest horsemen caught up with the stragglers, the roadside was littered with discarded equipment and prostrate regulars begging for water. Lyne and his mounted troops reached San Augustine Springs, and attempted to send water back to the lagging infantry. Baylor with part of his command crossed the mountains by another pass and early in the afternoon of July 27, rode unopposed into Lynde's temporary camp. After a short discussion, Lynde surrendered his 492-man force. The victory as Mesilla was one of the war's early and surprising Confederate successes.
On August 1, Baylor proclaimed the Arizona Territory, Confederate States of America, and named himself governor. Mesilla remained the capital of the Confederate Arizona Territory until the Texan military forces withdrew back to Texas in July 1862. Baylor's dashing actions of the summer of 1861 added to his fame as a folk hero.

My colour reading gave unbelievable insight and an understanding of the inner self. David Botha, Johannesburg
This was a beautiful, informative and interesting experience. Nompumelelo Mazibuko, Johannesburg
I did not realise how much colour can say about a person. Sinazo Mgolozeu, Johannesburg
My two colour readings, done independently from each other, proved extremely accurate. The first colour reading I had done was an eye-opener because it spoke much about how my inner emotional state was contributing to me not being able to move forward thus resulting in me being stuck at a huge crossroads. The colour yellow was synonymously accurate especially and all I needed was a little joy and fun to lift the situation up quickly. The second colour reading was more in-depth and insightful as it drew upon the diving feminine and goddess energies. I was given insights into my past, present, future situations as well as the opportunities that lie ahead by merely incorporating colour into my everyday life. Lien is highly intuitive and a natural empath with a kindred spirit. I can highly recommend a colour reading by her as its extremely insightful and anybody of all ages and spiritual backgrounds can incorporate colour in their lives and reap the benefits of knowing thyself more deeply.

2 candidates remain after special board primary
Brd. Supervisor candidates Nikiya Harris and Wallace White to face off May 25
Business consultant Wallace White and Nikiya Harris, a development assistant for the Milwaukee Urban Ecology Center, will face off in the May 25 general election for the vacated District 2 Milwaukee County Board seat.
White and Harris were among 11 candidates who vied for the county board seat in a special election held Tuesday. The winner in the May election will replace former Supervisor Tony Clark, who resigned her position in March after receiving a felony conviction for filing a false campaign report.
District 2 encompasses part of Milwaukee's northwest side.
Harris, 35, whose campaign platform focuses on preserving and improving parks, job retention and transportation, received 361 votes.
White, 76, who is the former executive director of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) garnered 222 votes. White believes his business experience and community connections will help bring more jobs to the area.
County supervisors are paid $50,679 a year. The new District 2 representative will be faced with a myriad of issues related to finances, possible layoffs due to a deficit, and furloughs.

Hillary Clinton can't shake her email scandal no matter how many lies she tells to try to cover for it.
The former Secretary of State attempted to blame Colin Powell for her troubles. She said that Powell suggested she use a private email server. But, Powell fired back that Clinton was lying.
Powell said that Clinton was trying to "pin" her scandal on him. But, she had already been using her private server for a year before she even asked him about it. And when they discussed it, he didn't recommend sending classified emails on a private email account.
Watch the video below to see Hillary get caught up in yet another lie.
This woman just can't help herself. Her husband can't control his philandering and she can't control her lying. They make quite a pair!
Where is Al Sharpton? Hillary tried to blame her problems on a black man. He should be protesting rather than endorsing her.
This woman wants to be president but she can't even manage to get through a week without lying! This should disqualify her! What do you think?
Please share this if you want Hillary to be held accountable for all her lies!

Wow, considering the fact that power lines are already rolled out over most of this planet, imagine what this technology will do to help facilitate accessibility to the Internet.
As several companies conduct experiments using electrical wiring in the home to provide broadband Internet access, the phrase "plugged in" may take on a whole new meaning.
Currently, most power lines are "dumb" conduits, used to transfer electric current. But they're actually capable of carrying data as well. Therein lies the excitement behind the emerging field of broadband over power lines, or BPL.
Last week, Houston, Texas-based energy company CenterPoint and IBM announced a trial run that will provide BPL service to 220 homes in the greater Houston area. And two weeks ago Current Communications Group, a Maryland-based company offering broadband over power lines, announced that it had secured $100 million in venture financing from Google, Hearst, and Goldman Sachs. Meanwhile, other BPL trials are currently underway in Manhattan, Cincinnati, and parts of North Carolina.
This article was sourced from MIT's Technology Review here, but it will be archived tomorrow and only available on subscription so I have placed the rest of it below in "more". Please read on…
So, in the wake of the Supreme Court's recent decision that cable companies don't have to share their lines with other ISPs (the "BrandX Decision"), consumers around the country may soon have a third choice (in addition to cable and DSL) for getting broadband.
BPL technology has been in the works for more than five years, but several factors have come together recently to speed up its commercial viability. In October 2004, the Federal Communications Commission announced its support for standards for the technology—an important step. Also, several states, including Texas and California, are developing their own legislation to iron out remaining regulatory issues among utilities and BPL.
Meanwhile, on the technology side, increases in chip speed have combined with cost reductions for key components, such as adapters and chips, to pave the way for more economical deployments of the technology.
"We've been chomping at the bit with BPL," says Ray Blair, vice president of IBM's BPL initiatives. "Now we can run."
Others are also enthusiastic. "We're finally seeing the pieces are all in place," says Kevin Brand, vice president of product management for Earthlink. The Internet provider currently has several small BPL trials around the country and Brand says subscriber feedback so far has been "very positive."
It's not just Internet providers and their consumers who could benefit from BPL. Utility companies themselves are bullish on it.
"We're looking to take our grid into the 21st century," says Don Cortez, vice president of operations support at CenterPoint Energy. "BPL gives us the possibility of monitoring the different points on the grid and letting us know well before something happens if something is wrong. Right now we have no way to see what's going on."
With BPL, utilities can monitor line usage and problems, as well as read meters without dispatching a technician.
On the consumer side, BPL offers some potential advantages over broadband alternatives. For one, customers could use the technology to turn down air conditioning or make sure the coffee pot is off while they're away from home.
"When every power outlet becomes a communications tool, you can have that kind of intelligence in every room," says Cortez. CenterPoint will decide what type of commercial roll-out to offer its customers by September, according to Cortez.
BPL technology also offers a broadband option that may be simpler and faster. Current Communications Group has a BPL-based program running in Cincinnati, with subscribers "in the thousands," according to Kevin Kushman, CCG vice president of corporate development.
The company offers a three-megabit-per-second broadband package, comparable to many cable-based broadband offerings, for $35 per month. It's not price that Current is competing on, though, says Kushman, but the fact that, with BPL, the uploading speed is the same as the downloading speed.
In other broadband mediums, the upstream speed be considerably slower than downstream. Further, Kushman says their BPL customers like not having to deal with a router. The company gives subscribers one free adapter with the service, and sells additional adapters for $30 each.
Wes Warnock, a spokesperson for SBC Communications, the largest telephone-line-based broadband provider in the country, won't comment on the IBM/CenterPoint trial, but says that SBC's consumers are satisfied with DSL's 416K bits per second upstream speed. "Our feedback shows it serves them well," he says.
Meanwhile, other companies are plugging away. "We're close to seeing large-scale deployments of BPL," says Earthlink's Brand.

Global Organisations Forge New Frontier of 5G", that details several industry, academic, private company and government organisations that are working towards taking forward the development of fifth generation (5G) technology and its ecosystem.
Chris Pearson, president of 5G Americas, said: "LTE will provide the mobile broadband foundation for 5G for years to come, yet there is no denying that 5G has captured the minds and hearts of the industry as we look out to wireless technology in 2020 and beyond. Over the past few years, there has been tremendous progress being made in the research and development of 5G across the globe."
According to the whitepaper, more than a dozen universities from the UK, US and Asia are researching 5G with the aid of government grants and private industry contribution. Leading vendors in the mobile industry are backing their own institutes and research efforts across the globe. Finally, dozens of standards bodies and industry fora are coming up with requirements, use cases and timelines for the development of 5G standards.
Brian Daly, co-leader of the working group for the report and director core and government/regulatory standards at AT&T Technology & Operations, said: "3GPP has defined its timeline with initial studies in '5G' addressed in Release 14 with stage 1 goals in March 2016 finishing Stage 3 in March 2017. It is an ongoing process that will carry through in Releases 15, with the basis for submission to the ITU with conclusions of Release 16 in March 2020.
"Proper standards development will be essential in the global development of 5G and the input from the numerous organizations will be valuable in the work of 3GPP

Marja Vongerichten Snacks on String Cheese, Gives In to Her Soda Weakness

Consider it a posthumous win for Schnäck at the burger battle last night. Earlier:Interborough Burger Contest Heading to Queens
The grilling armies in the city's burger wars usually hail from Manhattan, but every competition needs new contenders. The Burger Battle of the Boroughs will be on May 20 in Astoria as part of the Cuisine of Queens & Beyond tasting event. Staten Island could not field a team, but representatives from Brooklyn (The Farm on Adderley, 67 Burger), Queens (Harry's at Water Taxi Beach, Joe's Bestburger), and the Bronx (Coals) will battle Brgr and Resto — the latter being Rob and Robin's favorite burger in New York last year.
Bruni one-stars two restaurants, damning both with the faintest of praise: "Pera is a restaurant good enough at what it does best to argue for at least a moment's consideration," he says, carefully calibrating the knocks everyone else has given the place. Dennis Foy is too," he throws in. [NYT] Meehan is downright enthusiastic in his praise for East Village mini-chain Chickpea, which he considers the epitome of cheap eats, if not the final word in falafel and shawarma. [NYT] Alan Richman reviews a more or less random steakhouse, Harry's in the financial district, and delivers the news that the sides are lame, the steaks are fair to good, and that the place isn't especially pretty or pleasant. Who'd have thought? [Bloomberg]
The fullest account yet of the debacle that is the new Russian Tea Room. Gary Robins comes out looking far more sinned against than sinning, and the owner comes out looking like a jerk. [NYP] A blue-ribbon panel including Mario Batali, Bill Telepan, and Danny Meyer study the question of whether it's possible to open a restaurant under the radar. The near unanimous answer is no. Will Goldfarb suggests one way: "Do it in Queens." [Snack] Pichet Ong formerly of Spice Market is the first of the hot pastry chefs to open his own restaurant, the eponymous P*ong. Rivals Sam Mason and Jehangir Mehta (formerly of Aix) are close behind. [NYS] Related: The Launch [Grub Street]
A blizzard of burger openings has recently hit the city: BLT Burger, Royale, the new Goodburger, and Fort Greene's 67 Burger. And there are more on the way: Heritage Burger, the concept for which we recently sketched out, and the still-secret chef-driven East Village place that we announced in late October. This week, Rob and Robin introduce two more newbies — Stand and the convenient-to-text-message brgr — breaking them down by beef, bun, and condiments. It's all practically enough to make you forget the name Shake Shack. Burger Madness [NYM]

Now, a restaurant on wheels on Mumbai streets!
Hop on board The Moving Cart and let Hardik Shah and John Dias take you for a culinary ride. Apart from the three-course meal, they promise to offer an experience no other restaurant possibly can
If you're in the habit of taking a stroll down Marine Drive, one of these days you're bound to spot a bright red double decker bus trudging along at 10km/hour. No, we're not announcing the comeback of BEST's much-missed 123. This is Chennai's The Moving Cart — which serves food to patrons on board — making its way along South Mumbai's coastline.
The Moving Cart, founded in Chennai in 2011 by Hardik Shah and his wife Ami, began operations in the city about 10 days ago. Co-founder John Dias boards the bus with us at Marine Drive's Marine Plaza hotel, where the food is loaded onto the bus. "Marine Plaza's Chef Rishi Kapoor helped us work out the menu. We spoke to him about the disadvantages we would face while serving food on the move. The fact that we would reheat the food onboard, meant that we couldn't serve anything that would toughen on heating nor something crunchy," says Dias. Tying up with Marine Plaza made sense to the duo, who had their hearts set on plying their first bus along Marine Drive. "The hotel is conveniently located and serves good food," says Shah.
Their pantry is equipped with a bain-marie, which uses steam to heat the food, and a microwave. "In a few days, our electric cooler will also be in place. We will then begin serving soft drinks too," says Shah, who is surprised at Mumbaiites' affinity to aerated drinks. "No one in Chennai ever asked us for cold drinks. But here the requests are coming in, so we're making arrangements," he laughs. The bus, which takes diners from Marine Plaza to Wilson College and back, has already proven to be quite the hit with people throwing children's birthday parties and kitty parties on board, says Dias. And by the end of May, the duo hopes, a second bus will start plying on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link route. "People will have to hop on from Bandra reclamation," adds Dias.

The bus they use currently, "a custom-made combination of a Tata, Mercedes and Volvo bus, which took months to build," will get a plastic covering on the upper deck in time for the monsoon. But Dias and Shah have bigger plans for their Bandra ride. While the lower deck, which Shah claims has a "limousine-like feel", will remain largely the same, the upper deck on the second route will get a toughened glass roof. "What a view you will get if you reserve a table on the upper deck with the rain beating down on the roof during the monsoon," exclaims Dias.
Over the coming months, The Moving Cart is hoping to take on three other routes, including Navi Mumbai's Palm Beach Road. "While the view may not be great, the idea is to get families to enjoy themselves and offer them a new experience," claims Shah. "And by December, we're off to Dubai," he concludes excitedly.
Reserve a spot
The Moving Cart offers lunch at 1 pm and dinner at 8 and 10 pm. Booking closes three hours prior to the meal. Log on to their website to reserve a table and choose between their Indian and Continental vegetarian (Rs 1200) and non-vegetarian (Rs 1400) three-course meal options. "We plan to change our fixed menu every 15 days so that patrons don't get bored of eating the same food every time they come on board," says Dias.

Green Light for New Wind Demonstration Project
ABS has been requested to provide classification services for the test turbine substructure for Wind Energy Systems Technology (WEST) wind farm offshore Galveston, Texas. A three-year wind assessment program evaluating the feasibility of a wind farm offshore Texas has been completed and WEST has reported wind conditions were satisfactory. The next phase is the removal of the meteorological tower from the foundation and replacing it with a 2.75 MW wind turbine. The test turbine has been permitted by the Army Corps of Engineers and will provide power to an adjacent oil and gas platform. \Following a yearlong testing program, Coastal Point Energy has proposed a field of 52 2.75 MW turbines making the site the first offshore wind farm in US waters.

Party Up!
Roppongi Travel Blog› entry 33 of 37 › view all entries
A couple of submariner friends of a friend have been doing some training here in Yokosuka. I've been showing them around on the weekends, we've been doing mostly cultural stuff, but they wanted to party too! We tried "bar-hopping" in Yokosuka at the Honch. I have to admit, I've never actually gone drinking at the Honch, it always seemed it bit lame. Well, we unanimously agreed that it was LAME. Literally all but one ship are deployed, so you would see the same 12 people at each bar you went. We ended the night pretty early, around 23:30 at the CoCo Ichibanya curry house. We decided the next night would definitely be Roppongi.
The plan for Roppongi was to take one of the last trains in, get there around midnight, and take one of the first trains out, leaving around 5-ish. We all met at Yokosuka-chuo station, then it was a game of musical trains all the way. One of the guys, Horace, is black, and it was a running joke that he is unknowingly enrolled in some secret club for black men in Japan. Everywhere we went, they would wave, nod, say hello, start talking to him... sure enough, on the train, a guy from Senegal started talking to him and lucky for us, was going our way. We finally emerged at Roppongi crossing around 00:35.
It was madness! I had been there during the day, but everywhere you turn there was a bar, someone trying to get you to go in their bar, masses of people, lights... We wandered around for a bit until we found a pub to start off with.
After a couple of drinks, we went on wandering around. There were a lot of places, a lot of pubs and foreigner bars. We ended up ducking into one place after being harrased by some club promoters. Turned out to be pretty cool and we spent the rest of the night there. It was super crowded, but the music was pretty good and the bar was well stocked.
The train back wasn't so bad, as I've been warned by other people it would be terrible. Brandie slept, while the rest of us tried to maintain a little bit of decorum. Horace and Julia were flying back out that day, so they had to stay up long enough to catch the Narita bus. For me, catching my last connection and walking 25 minutes uphill took way to long. Thank god I didn't run into my very proper, church-going, Japanese neighbors, that's would be something to explain in my broken Japanese.

Key Taliban member calls for end to Afghan war
Mullah Agha Jan Motasim called for peace talks and demanded prisoner releases and removal of sanctions on rebel leaders to quicken the process.
Islamabad: A key member of the Taliban has called for an end to the decade-long war in Afghanistan. He has also called for peace talks and demanded prisoner releases and removal of sanctions on rebel leaders to quicken the process.
"All sides should stop fighting and solve all their differences through dialogue and negotiations," the Daily Times quoted Mullah Agha Jan Motasim, who until 2009, headed the Taliban`s political committee, and is still influential in some Taliban circles.
Motasim, who was the finance minister in the 1996-2001 Taliban regime, welcomed "important preliminary steps" from all sides, such as the lifting of UN sanctions on former regime members, and said that as a result, the Taliban were "inclined towards dialogue".
But he also called on the United Nations and the United States to remove the remaining Taliban names from the blacklist, and demanded the immediate release of Taliban leaders from Guantanamo Bay.
"We believe that such steps of the international community would help in bringing peace and stability and would become a source of persuading leaders of Islamic Emirate," he further wrote.

When people go for either a Chlamydia test or a Gonorrhea test, they always go for a combined "Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test."
The main reason for that is that both the tests are quite similar. Additionally, Chlamydia symptoms are very similar to Gonorrhea symptoms, so it's only wise to test for both infections together to ascertain the exact type of infection.
This test is called the Nucleic Acid Amplification Test or NAAT. Both Chlamydia and Gonorrhea are caused by bacteria. When somebody is infected with these bacteria, there's supposed to be the presence of the bacteria in the urine sample.
Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Test Window Period is generally 3 to 7 days. It means 3 to 7 days after the infection period the detection of the individual bacteria can be done positively. In most of the cases people come for a test much after that, but if you're not among them then it's better that you wait for at least 7 to 10 days.
The NAAT test carries out an amplification of the DNA of the bacteria and detects it in case there's a trace of the infection-causing bacteria. In case of Chlamydia, it's Chlamydia trachomatis and in Gonorrhea, it's the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria.
It's the most accurate test available as on date for both of these bacteria, so it's called the "Gold Standard" for both of these tests. The accuracy is 99.99% in both cases. It's widely used in both doctors' offices and hospitals, across the country.
The NAAT test is also referred as urine Chlamydia test or urine gonorrhea test because the test sample is primarily urine. In case of women, an additional swab of the vagina is collected for additional safety. Taking a Chlamydia test or a Gonorrhea test is no longer painful or embarrassing. The collection of the sample takes hardly any time. As there's no needle penetration, there's no pain.
For a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test, no blood sample is collected. Let's be very clear about that. Many people avoid these tests for the sake of fear of a needle penetration.
Now, there are 2 ways you can submit a sample. You can either visit a nearby test lab or you can opt for a home STD testing kit.
In the first case, you can a visit one of the 4000+ labs which is close to your home. It may at most take 15 to 20 minutes drive to reach the lab but you can submit the sample on the same day. The tests are completely anonymous so no one knows why you are there.
In the second case, you receive a sample collection kit at your home by post. All the instructions for sample collection are enclosed inside the kit, so there are no hassles. Now, in your convenience, you can collect the samples and re-seal the kit as directed and post it at the post office. Never drop these sample boxes into the mailboxes.
Recommendations: Chlamydia and gonorrhea test
- Always opt for a Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test together. They are more reliable and cheaper when carried out together.
- Refrain from urinating an hour before submitting your sample. The first urine of the day at the morning is considered the best.
- Prefer a lab test to a test kit; the former is fast and the best.
- Never worry about the privacy of the tests. They're 100% private.
- It's recommended once every year for all sexually active adults.

Happy February! I am often asked about the design on our website header — What is it?
It's Coffee Crossword. Pour yourself a cup of coffee (or tea!) and immerse yourself in this crossword design. Warm colors stitched on a coffee-with-cream-and-sugar linen make for a cup of cozy stitching on a chilly February day.
Wichelt's Terra Cotta linen (which reminds me of a cup of coffee with cream), seemed perfect for a coffee crossword design.
One of our February Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, said this about a drink he'd been served:
"If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee."
We've all been there, Mr. President. 🙂 Have a good week, dear friends!

What does it take to join the Italian Mafia?
I'm not wanting to actually join but it would be nice to know that I'm eligible. My great grandparents were born in southern Italy and immigrated to the US. That makes me 25% Italian. My aunt did research and found that one of my ancestors was in the original mafia. Would I be able to join The Mafia? I'm just, you know, curious…
You have to be over 60 % Italian. Yea, your roots may be for Italy, but atleast one of 'your' parents must FULL Italian. Otherwise, you may be accepted as an associate, if accepted at all….

Awesome Essays Worth $529 for College
Twenty-four local students have written a new chapter into the 35th annual Awesome 3000. The Salem-Keizer Education Foundation has announced the winners of the third annual Why College is Awesome essay contest. Sponsored by the Oregon College Savings Plan, the essay winners each receive a $529 Oregon College Savings Plan account.
Read and scored by a committee of literacy and writing professionals, 362 students submitted entries including 119 elementary students from 14 schools, 98 middle school students from 11 schools and 145 students from 6 high schools. Students were asked to paint a mental picture with drawings and/or words, keep the reader interested, and give a creative, and succinct expression of why going to college is an awesome experience.
The essays discussed a wide variety of topics, including everything from the college experience, to working for their dream careers, to being the first person in their family to obtain a college education.
Cathy McInnis, College and Career Specialist for the Salem-Keizer School District, served as a scorer on the committee. After reading dozens of essays, she spoke of the importance of having this sort of contest for younger students.
"It's so important to plant that seed early," she said. "They're sharing their vision of Why College is Awesome."
As a scorer, McInnis said she's looking for essays that set students apart.
"Tell me your story. I look for that story that has some meaning to it."

Located in Southern Maine, this new construction speaks to the ocean elements surrounding it with its natural materials and classic design.
Photos by Michael Eric Berube.
Art by Portland Art Gallery.
We provided design for the bathrooms, lighting, finishes, and colors. The builder was restoring a falling apart two-family home on vibrant Munjoy Hill in Portland, Maine, into a single family home and was excited to incorporate some authentic touches such as antique doors and hardware with updated amenities.
Photos by Jon Reece and/or Briana Moore.
Surround yourself with real things: antique salvage, soft textiles, sunlight, fossils, and flowers. Then take a nap.

Two very active boys with a passion for all things outdoors need a rather indestructible space. Using reclaimed barn-board from a local barn and antique painted pine flooring (also from Maine), we created dramatic accents and storage and their bathroom. A hidden step in the toe kick and lowered sink allows little ones to be big kids for as long as they need. Sunbrella fabric on the roman shades ensures they can hold up to use and moisture.
We built storage into the eaves for both clothing and ample toy storage. The room also features indoor/outdoor rugs and drapery fabric, as well as solid wood bunk beds and custom matched built-ins that will stand the test of time. Kid-friendly elements include safety cages on the ceiling fan and organic mattresses for healthy breathing. Repurposed, sustainable materials not only set examples for children to live by but also create a unique, special narrative about their space.
The tailored sleeper sofa was done in sunbrella chenille. You would never guess the soft texture is water and dirt repellant. The rug is also indoor/outdoor. Pro photos of the finished project coming in 2017.
We work with a select group of investors, homeowners, and real estate brokers looking to present a move-in-ready property and attract the best possible buyer. Our specialty is renovating existing structures, from layout and design to staging the final touches. We warehouse inventory in Portland.
We work from Kennebunkport to Camden.
Working on a Maine island in the winter has its challenges, but the end result is beautiful and functional. An urban, Mad Men inspired kitchen with custom cabinetry, new venting/HVAC, gorgeous quartz countertops and Cipollino marble backsplash will stand the test of time in this modern vacation home.
This couple downsized to a lovely 1100 sq foot home in Portland. We curated an immense collection of art. The goal was to create a cohesive color story in each space to show as much art as possible without feeling cluttered. Creative storage was designed and built into the dining room, turning a dead space into a beautiful, functional part of the home. The 3 season porch was properly transformed into a year round office nook, and the smaller bedroom became a larger addition into a proper master bedroom thanks to the talent of Jamie Broadbent at Hellbent Design. Jamie designed the clients' previous Harborview Townhome and understood their aesthetic. We prioritized aging in place.
For more information on the art in the photos, please see the blog post.
Thank you to Abigail Gervais of Endicott College for the photography.

We all know people are just plain negative. They complain all the time, find fault in just about everything, and often focus on their problems and issues to the good things in life.
Let me tell you a couple things about negative people. First, they are very draining. If you've been around a lot of negative people you know that they can be a real pain. They're simply not very fun.
The second thing is that negative people don't end up having a lot of friends. This is mainly related to the first point. We typically want to enjoy life as much as we can or at least not find creative ways to be miserable. But, negative people make us feel worse about ourselves. So, what do we do? We avoid them.
Are you negative? Maybe you don't think you are, but I'll bet others around you know the answer (and you might not like it). It might help to ask yourself a few questions.
-Are you grateful for the good things in life?
-Do you complain a lot?
-Do you always see the worst things in life?
-Do you drain others and always seem needy?
If you answered yes to one or more of these then it's possible that you're too negative. And, if you are, it will eventually impact your popularity, at school and everywhere else.
If you're too negative, then you'll have to work on being less toxic and draining. While there's no quick fix, the easiest way is to simply be more grateful about your life.
Try to focus on the good things in your life and not so much on the bad. Avoid sharing negative gossip and starting drama. Seek out friends with whom you can have fun and enjoy life rather than those you can complain with.
Are you too negative? Only you and your friends can answer that. But, if your negativity is high, then it's probably time to make a change. Being more positive and less dramatic will probably make you more popular in the long run.

adidas Adds A Running-Influenced Update To The AlphaBOUNCE Beyond

Scottie Pippen's Nike Air Maestro All-Star might be one of the most daring Nike Basketball sneakers of the decade, owning that sick tonal-red 'look at me!' colorway in the high-top profile (and yes, someone actually wore them last week and was featured on Monday's 'Best of WDYWT'). A similar 'All-Star' pair in the Maestro Flight already released, but if you're more akin to blue than you are to red, then this new Soar Blue colorway should be right up your alley. Priced at just $90, these are great pick-ups for any rotation, so check out the images below and cop a pair right now from Premier or on eBay.

Sometimes it's impossible for a politician to avoid the Hague Rule – never get photographed in a hat:
An old favourite of Ed, but there's a touch of Berlusconi to Dave in Delhi today.
Sometimes it's impossible for a politician to avoid the Hague Rule – never get photographed in a hat:
An old favourite of Ed, but there's a touch of Berlusconi to Dave in Delhi today.
Biographer and chronicler of the Brown years, Anthony Seldon, has a damning letter to Ed Balls in tomorrow's New Statesman:
"The time has come for you to fall on your sword.
After 20 unbroken years at the heart of politics, quitting in the next few months until, say, 2017 would undoubtedly benefit your leader, your party, your wife and even yourself. Let me explain.
Ed Miliband would be a much stronger leader without you. Forgive me, but you stop Ed breathing fresh air.
With you close to him, his breath will always be stale and smell of a toxic brand. Without a prolonged period out of the public eye, neither you nor the party will ever rid yourselves of the opportunistic, negative and bullying image of the Gordon era.
Without you, Labour could present itself as a clean party, free of the factionalism and brutalism that so tarnished it when Brown was boss and you were his consigliere.
If Labour loses in 2015, you will be blamed and your career will be damaged beyond repair. If it wins, you would return to the front bench in 2017 a redeemed and respected figure. You might even one day become leader, your long-held ambition."
Worth noting that Balls' version of his 10p tax debate with Gordon differs markedly from what Seldon claimed in his book. A dangerously respected critic for Balls.
Rosamund Taylor, the now former editor of Guardian law, has been literally left holding the baby.
Prince Philip to a Filipino nurse earlier:
"The Philippines must be half empty – you're all here running the NHS."
Meet Glynn Davies-Dear, the weirdy-beardy former LibDem mayor of Eastleigh who has jumped ship to UKIP ahead of next-week's by-election.
"Why did I leave the LibDems? I left in disgust at the lies and the broken promises. The Liberal Democrats no longer care about the people, they only care about themselves."
Former LibDem councillor Andy Moore has also crossed the divide this afternoon. Ouch.
UPDATE: Amusingly he appears on a leaflet for Maria Hutchings.
Not only could the jury not understand the English language, they also failed to reach a verdict.
Over to the CPS to decide if they want a retrial…
UPDATE: Vicky Pryce will face retrial next Monday. Unlikely now that Huhne will be sentenced before the by-election. Big blow for the Tories.
Party funding figures for the last quarter are out. Excluding public money, between October and December last year the Tories received £3,309,109 in donations, Labour £2,592,885 and the LibDems just £570,959. The three biggest donors were Unite, Unison and the GMB, who funnelled over £1.5 million of their gold to you know who. Things don't change…

Explosive row on LBC earlier as IDS went head to head with their resident lefty James O'Brien over the workfare scheme.
14 hours of deliberations later and Mr Justice Sweeney has agreed to accept a majority verdict on which at least ten agree. He is giving answers to ten pretty extraordinary questions the jury asked him yesterday.
Getting closer…
Rachel Reeves should never be given the Education brief:
"It shows how foolish and short-termist the Chancellor was to bank this cash in the autumn statement to make his borrowing figures look less bad."
As next week's by-election looks more and more like a LibDem hold, it seems Tory PPCs don't much fancy making the journey south. Guido hears just 80 out of the several hundred on the candidates list have helped out in Eastleigh so far. Peeved party bosses have emailed PPCs reminding them in no uncertain terms that "campaign commitment is an important part of being a successful candidate", demanding to know "what action you're taking to assist with Maria's campaign". Factor this in with the Merlin canvassing outage and you can see why Guido is betting heavily on a yellow hold…
Unemployment fell by 14,000 last month to 2.5 million, down 0.1% on the previous quarter to 7.8%. Number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance fell by 12,500 to 1.54 million. Employment is up by half a million on the year. A nice distraction from the 4G shortfall that makes the Autumn Statement figures even more controversial.
Best wishes to the Prime Mentalist as he turns 62 today. Twelve months without speaking in Parliament, £6,000 and more on air fares at our expense, £300,000-a-month in cash that is definitely not paid to him, an attendance record to be ashamed of, landing his successor in it, not to mention the worst of omens for His Holiness.
And that's forgetting Gordon's Olympic nightmare and his – shall we say – awkwardness at the Leveson Inquiry. To celebrate, why not enjoy his greatest hits one more time…
