Coastal Cool
Transform a standard bath into a coastal retreat by first painting an accent wall in a soothing shade of maritime blue. Allow the breezy curtains, claw-foot tub and sleek white floors to create a contrast against the blue accents. For an extra touch of charm, add peel-and-stick wall art around the room, like these seashell and marine-life prints from HGTV HOME by Sherwin-Williams. The finished look is a proper beach-style bath, but who knows — it could be in the middle of a bustling city.
Sandy Chic
HGTV fan KarenSpirit knows exactly how to create the perfect balance between sophisticated elegance and beach chic. For a sandy look, she uses ginseng bone travertine on the walls and floor and brown grass cloth behind the vanity. She effortlessly pulls the entire look together with simple sea-inspired accessories.
Beach Waves
This powder room is not only set in an oceanic blue hue, but also features a mosaic border around the entire space with a soothing wave pattern. Designer Allison Rejeanne uses luxurious marble cut into various mosaics to create a chic and sophisticated bath.
School of Fish
Nothing about this bathroom exudes a subtle coastal feel, and that's what makes it so appealing. The swimming fish wallpaper has a youthful feel, while still maintaining an air of maturity and sophistication. Port windows and mirrors create a nautical look and offer additional privacy, thanks to their small size and shape. Design by Bruce Palmer. Construction by Dewson Construction Company.

Contemporary Warmth
Designer Bruce Palmer veers away from the traditional blue and green color palette when designing this modern bathroom. In fact, he uses smooth pebbles along the wavy back wall and floor to create a natural, sandy look reminiscent of the beach. With that, the bath maintains its modern and coastal appearance.

Mixing With Modern
In this guest bathroom, designer Brian Patrick Flynn uses a summer-inspired driftwood gray as the room's primary color palette. Set off by neutrals, the room evokes a comfortable, coastal feel. Although surrounded by contemporary decor, a round mirror covered with reclaimed twigs pulls the entire organic look together.
Charming Display
In this cottage-style bathroom, designer Anissa Swanzy uses a wall of built-in bookshelves to host an array of charming coastal finds, along with towels and toiletries. Any bathroom built-in can provide the perfect storage option, while serving as a place to display decorative items like any other room in the house.
Beachy Blues
This bathroom may not be covered in beachy decor, but it certainly evokes a sense of coastal charm through a blue color scheme. To reflect the homeowner's love for contemporary style, designer Allison Rejeanne covers the walls in gray-blue glass subway tiles and uses grass cloth-inspired porcelain on the floors. Inside the shower, she continues the sea-blue theme with marble, glass and mosaic tiles that become an eye-catching display through the glass shower door.
Sky-blue walls along with the white beadboard and navy-blue vanity create the ultimate coastal color palette. Designer Erica Islas ties in simple decorative elements, like glass cabinet pulls and pebble flooring, to bring an ultra-beachy effect to a clean and streamlined bath.
Patterned Flair
Bring nautical flair to a bathroom with a quirky wallpaper pattern, like this red, blue and white beach-hut design from Graham & Brown. For an additional splash of color, mix a bolder wallpaper graphic like these red and white polka dots. Finally, just add some starfish and driftwood decor to tie it all together.
Turquoise Retreat
The tropical master bathroom from HGTV Green Home 2009 pulls its inspiration from the home's location on Florida's Treasure Coast. To mimic the hues of the water, designer Linda Woodrum uses sea-blue mosaic-glass tiles on the walls and inside the shower. As a contrasting element, she keeps everything else — including the walls, vanity and trim — a crisp shade of white.
Charleston Inspiration
Inspired by the elegant harbor city of Charleston, S.C., HGTV fan Campbell1082 uses antique-style fixtures and traditional molding to exert Southern coastal charm.
Oceanfront Resort
This master bathroom showcases the stunning ocean views by integrating windows, sliding doors and shutters into the available wall space around the room. A spacious shower even connects to the oceanfront patio, making it feel alfresco. To create this contemporary coastal look, designer Bruce Palmer uses copper, reclaimed wood and more modern pieces to form a resort-esque retreat. Design by Bruce Palmer.

Maritime Style
To give this contemporary bathroom a hint of nautical style, designer Erica Islas simply uses a blue and white color scheme and hangs a small wooden ship's wheel onto the door. When combined, these elements instantly pull in a maritime feel, whether the home is located by the water or not.
Tropical Haven
The natural textures and palette of this tropical-style bathroom nod to contemporary oceanfront living. Designer Joseph Cortes uses seagrass, rattan, decorative moss balls, seashells and other natural materials to create a room that feels simple yet representative of its outdoor surroundings.

RICHMOND HEIGHTS, OH-- FitWorks Fitness Centers announced plans to partner with the Cleveland/Lakefront Area of the American Diabetes Association to present SchoolWalk and FitSchools.
SchoolWalk, the ADA's national, one-time event, launches the program with a fund-raising and physical fitness activity. FitSchools begins at the conclusion of SchoolWalk and is an ongoing program that involves exercise and health education for students and their families within the schools and at FitWorks facilities, the company said. Working in tandem, FitWorks said that the programs are designed to provide Cleveland area elementary students with the skills and knowledge needed to fight obesity and diabetes while developing healthy lifetime habits.
"Childhood obesity and diabetes have become a national and local epidemic," said Mike Cross, director of marketing for FitWorks. "Physical fitness is a key component to managing weight issues and preventing the disease, so a relationship between FitWorks and the ADA is a natural fit."
The American Diabetes Association agreed.
"We're very excited to partner with FitWorks on this program," explained Jill Pupa, executive director of the American Diabetes Association, Cleveland/Lakefront Area. "Type II diabetes is on the rise among our young people, and it will continue to increase unless we address it head on. We've heard a lot about the problem, but not much about a solution. The SchoolWalk and FitSchools program is just that—a solution—because it helps children learn healthy habits at an early age, habits that will last a lifetime."
Cross added that although the primary goal of the program is to establish healthy habits in children, other benefits are involved. "A component of this program encourages students to raise funds for diabetes research. As students do so, they increase awareness about the disease and earn dollars for playground equipment, courtesy of the ADA and US Games," he said. " This program also invites family involvement. So, it truly is a 'win-win' for everyone."

September Update

Update is coming soon...I promise!

August Update
Elle relaxing and watching Mickey Mouse...complete with Minnie Mouse shades...she's an accessory girl!
When we got home, Elle wanted to wear the turtle she painted as a hat...I'm telling you...she's an accessory girl!
We started back with Physical Therapy on August 23 and resumed our normal 2x a week with Michelle, Elle's PT. After Elle's first open heart surgery when she was 6 months old, she came back to PT a different baby. She started wanting to sit up on her own and was initiating more developmental skills than prior to surgery. It seems like that same situation may be happening again with Elle. Pre surgery, she wanted nothing to do with the horse swing and in only her second session back, she climbed right on the horse and started trying to make it swing. This is huge for her! Not only is it a great test of balance but also core strengthening and getting her knees to bend!
We ended August with a birthday lunch for a very special 1 year old, Elle's cousin, Stella. I use the term cousin loosely because Stella is my cousin's daughter - but whatever - we're family!
We have so much to be thankful for! Elle is just doing great and we are so thrilled with her progress. She is even starting to eat more and more foods by mouth and maybe one day we won't have to depend on the feeding tube! She is growing stronger and stronger every day and never ceases to amaze us! To God be ALL the glory for her amazing recovery and continued growth!

The Tale of a Mirror
Kate's fantastic piece
Here's the mirror before - not too shabby. It's sitting on a 20.00 desk I use as my night stand.
After taping it off and priming
And the end result. I love the blue color and once the desk gets transformed - I think it will be the perfect combination. I'm thinking the desk will look fantastic with the same dark stained top and heirloom white legs and drawers. Hmmmm......
I followed Kate's step by step directions and while it does have a few brush strokes from the poly - you can't really notice them unless you are right up next to it. I dinged it while I was bringing it in from outside so I do have one little touch up to do - but other than that - it didn't turn out too bad. Kind of a fun project!

To Believe or not to Believe
Daily Telegraph's Andrew Gilligan doesn't believe the British Foreign Office:
"The (British) Foreign Office denied claims that it had been tipped off about the use of British passports before the hit, insisting: "We only received details of the British passports a few hours before the [February 15] press conference held by the police in Dubai."
But the Irish foreign ministry has confirmed that it knew Irish passports had been used by the hit squad as early as February 4 – and it would seem surprising if Britain did not know at least that soon too. The use of "European" passports in the hit was being claimed by the Dubai authorities as early as January 29. Not for the first time, the British government may not be being wholly frank about what it knew and when it knew it.
The fact that Britain may have waited to get angry until the story got on TV tends to support the view of one Israeli government source that the UK is merely "going through the motions of outrage to mollify the media". According to one former intelligence source, MI6 has been reassuring Mossad that everything 'would blow over'".
The angriest Brit this week was our Foreign Secretary David Miliband. Any abuse by Israel would be an "outrage", he said. I see the the duty to remind you all. David Miliband is listed on an Israeli propaganda site as an "Israeli Hasbara Author". Miliband is also an interventionist. Bearing this in mind, should we believe him? Was he outraged for real?

Science Bobblehead
"Always be prepared to explain the hows and the whys." -- Science +10
Vault 106 is a mostly-abandoned nuclear fallout shelter located in the middle area of the Capital Wasteland. It's located northwest of your home vault, Vault 101, and is to the west of Big Town. When you arrive at Vault 106, you don't have to worry about any crazy mutated enemies or monsters. Instead, you'll have to worry about the few survivors wandering the vacant halls of the vault. These crazed survivors are extremely weak and armed with basic melee weapons, but you should still blow their heads off when you encounter one. Otherwise, they will never relent in attacking.
You'll want to sniff out the living quarters (marked as such) in the vault. This is where the Science Bobblehead is located. It's easy to get lost here, so instead of looking around manually, know what you're looking for as soon as you've breached the living quarters. Head forward and then left over the grating, so that you can enter the door furthest ahead on your left. Follow this linear pathway into a large room and search the shelves on the far side to find the Bobblehead.

Sitio Conte
Sitio Conte is situated on a flat coastal plain on the Isthmus of Panama about 100 miles southwest of modern Panama City, and ten miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. The archeological site lies beneath six acres of grasslands along the banks of the Río Grande de Coclé, one of many rivers that flow down the slopes of the western sierras and across the plains to the coastal bays of the Gulf of Panama.
In contrast to the vast corpus of research associated with the Aztec and Mayan cultures, relatively little is known about the identity of the people who used Sitio Conte as a burial site. Much of the information about the region and its ancient past derives from the accounts of Spanish explorers and settlers in the sixteenth century. The excavations at Sitio Conte do shed light, however, on the importance of the manufacture and use of gold by the indigenous ancient people of the Panamanian peninsula. The precious metal was essential to the chiefdoms and served as a symbol of status, especially for the paramount chiefs and leaders.
Recent excavations at El Caño, two miles from Sitio Conte, have revealed additional burial sites. These more recently discovered burials, which include gold and other artifacts, date from ca. 700–1000 ce and would have overlapped with the later Sitio Conte burials. The El Caño excavations (2008 to the present) have revealed additional information about the so-called "golden chiefs" of Panama. There may be potential links between the two sites in terms of the burial arrangements; both sites are also marked by ancient monoliths.

Providence, R.I.-based Mule Lighting has established a new division to focus on the development of induction lighting technology and solutions. Led by Mule VP Rob Cross, the new DYNalux division will serve the global lighting market.
"This division has been created to expand our product lines to meet today's demanding energy and environmental needs." says Cross. "Primarily focused on induction-based luminaries, all DYNalux products are designed to maximize energy efficiency while providing a superior light source for most indoor and outdoor applications."
Flagship products for the new division include induction solutions for many applications, such as roadways, parking areas, sports arenas, commercial buildings, and warehouses.
"Induction lamps are one of the newest energy-saving lighting technologies developed in recent years," says Cross. "Induction lighting is based on a technology that is fundamentally different from that of traditional lighting products, such as fluorescent or high-intensity discharge (HID). With no filaments and electrodes to burn out, these unique lamps can last up to 100,000 hours, making them virtually maintenance-free."

LONDON, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- British music icon David Bowie has featured Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton in the video for his new song, "The Stars [Are Out Tonight.]"
"This story at once captures a 21st century moment in its convergence of age, gender and the normal/celebrity divide," a statement on Bowie's website said about the clip.
Swinton plays the wife of Bowie's character in the rock star's latest music video, which was directed by Floria Sigismondi and premiered online this week. This marks the first music video Swinton has appeared in since Orbital's "The Box," which was nominated for Best Video at the 1997 Brit Awards, the BBC said.
Swinton's film credits include "Moonrise Kingdom," "We Need to Talk About Kevin," "Michael Clayton" and "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
"The Stars [Are Out Tonight] is the second single from "The Next Day," Bowie's first album of new material in 10 years.

Citing sources familiar with Texans general manager Rick Smith's thinking, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday night that Buffalo's Khalil Mack is a realistic alternative to South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney at No. 1 overall.
Build your own mock draft:
Make your best guesses here for all 32 picks of the first round of the NFL Draft and you could win a trip to attend the 2014 NFL Kickoff game. Play now ...
When NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock unveiled his Top 100 prospects on Monday, it was Mack -- not Clowney -- sitting atop the list.
On the same day, NFL Media's Gil Brandt moved Mack over Clowney on his own draft board.
The lead-up to this week's draft is uncannily beginning to mirror the plot of the recently released Kevin Costner vehicle, "Draft Day," with an edge-rushing linebacker surnamed "Mack" bypassing the consensus top pick.
Here's what else we learned from Mayock's Top 100:
1. Mayock said last week he would be surprised if Teddy Bridgewater is drafted in the first round. He's now doubling down, ranking the Louisville quarterback No. 42 overall -- behind Jimmy Garoppolo of Eastern Illinois (No. 38) and Zach Mettenberger of LSU (No. 40).
2. Johnny Manziel (No. 10) remains the top quarterback on Mayock's board. Stating that most of the signal-callers in this class need a "redshirt" year, Mayock had previously opined that Manziel and Georgia's Aaron Murray are the only two ready to start right away.
3. Mayock has been "banging the table" for Notre Dame's Zack Martin, the only prospect capable of playing all five offensive line positions at a high level. Martin is ranked No. 9 overall, bolstering Mayock's contention that four offensive tackles will go off the board in the first 13 picks.
4. LSU's Odell Beckham appears to be settling in as the consensus third wide receiver, behind Sammy Watkins and Mike Evans. Mayock ranks Beckham No. 17 overall, four spots ahead of Brandin Cooks (No. 21) and nine ahead of Kelvin Benjamin (No. 26).
5. Ohio State's Ryan Shazier, the fastest linebacker we've seen since a young Brian Urlacher, is ranked No. 18 -- seven spots below Alabama's C.J. Mosley (No. 11). Shazier appears to be entrenched as a first-round pick after beginning the process as a consensus second-rounder.
6. For all of the talk of running backs falling out of the first round, Mayock has two in his top 32 picks: Washington's Bishop Sankey at No. 27 and Ohio State's Carlos Hyde at No. 31.
7. Teams in need of a disruptive interior defender shouldn't count on Pitt's Aaron Donald falling to the middle of the first round. Mayock has Donald ranked No. 12 overall, two spots higher than Daniel Jeremiah has the defensive tackle in his Talented Top 50.

This week's Tuesday Tip (a blogging prompt suggested by members of Geneabloggers) deals with learning about the pros and cons of various scan settings before you start to scan your old photos. This is actually a topic that I originally researched back in the fall of 2009. At that time I was preparing to scan ancestor photos that my Mom had come across and passed along to me.
I decided to post about the subject now since it has been discussed quite a bit recently on the Legacy Family Tree User's Group mailing list. It is also a timely topic for me personally as I am in the middle of another round of scanning. This time it is my own collection of pre-digital photos. Most of them are about 5-15 years old. (Okay, maybe some of them are even older, but they haven't quite made it to vintage yet!)
In any case, scanning a large batch of photos, regardless of their age, most likely isn't a job that you want to tackle more than once. So you want to make sure you have the settings "right" the first time. Back in 2009, when I was scanning my vintage photos, I started out having a few ideas about what would be good for scanning resolution, file format, etc. But as is typical, I searched the web to make sure I was on the right track and to get a feel for what other people were doing in this regard. As it turns out, the "right" settings are, at least in part, dependent upon the intended use of the scanned image (i.e. printing, posting to web, etc). [For my purposes I decided to use 600 ppi (or dpi) for the majority of photos and snapshot that I scan.]
When I first started round two of scanning I didn't bother surveying the web again as I still remembered the information I gathered back in 2009. But then one of the posters on the Legacy mailing list mentioned a website called scantips.com. So I went to that site and, sure enough, it was one of the ones that I had checked out before.
It's a great site, very well-written and very easy to understand. I actually wound up reading quite a few of the articles – some which seemed familiar and others which I think may have been added since I checked it out before. Anyway, if (or when) you decide to start a scanning project, scantips.com is definitely worth a read. The author of the website has a great discussion on photo resolution as well as the advantages and disadvantage of various image formats. So that's my Tuesday Tip this week — get informed before you start scanning – and a great place to get that information is the scantips website. Hope it helps!!

Hi there,
After 4 years of trying to conceive, my husband and I realilze our best chance is to use a donor egg. I've been on clomid, had 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs. Apparently the embryos were very good, but at 43 the chances of using my own eggs and having a live birth are almost zero. Still I can't even imagine not having a baby... Unfortunately, in BC you can't use anonymous donors. In the States you can see the profiles and pictures of thousands of donors, but it is very expensive unless you share the donor and this is still more expensive than using a known donor in BC. Trouble is I was hoping to find a Spanish donor (or latin). I live in Canada now but come from Argentina where they do IVF with donors but you aren't allowed to even see a baby picture of the donor, I think it's the same in Spain and other countries. My husband is german, but we'd love to have a child who shares my background and characteristics as well... I know very few Spanish people in Canada, much less someone under 30 who would like to donate... so I'm afraid I have an uphill battle ahead
I'd appreciate any advice...

The government of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown faces broad opposition to its just-published antiterrorism bill, which would controversially allow suspected terrorists to be held for up to 42 days without charge.
The Financial Times reports that the government made public the Counter Terrorism Bill on Thursday, with much of the focus on the expanded detention provision, an increase from the current 28-day maximum.
Ministers, supported by senior police chiefs and some government security advisers, argue that terror plots are becoming more complex, both in terms of their international dimension and the use of encrypted technology, so that more time may be needed to investigate before a suspect is freed....
However critics say existing laws already give the government powers to declare a national emergency in exceptional circumstances, and that the latest proposal is an unnecessary encroachment on civil liberties.
The Financial Times report notes that the bill includes other measures that have not met with such opposition.
The Bill contains less controversial measures, including new powers allowing police to question suspects after they have been charged, and provision for the private sector to finance additional protection of key gas sites.
New offences created by the Bill include that of communicating, publishing, or eliciting information from members of the armed forces which might be of use to a terrorist.
British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith defended the extension to 42 days as a necessary tool in the event of a terrorist strike, especially if the threat to Britain is growing, reports the BBC.
Ms Smith declared: "We face a choice here. We can either sit on our hands, failing to recognise where there is a broad consensus that this is a risk that is growing and that we might well face in the future.
"We can risk having to legislate in an emergency in the future, we can risk, as some people believe we should do, having to declare a national emergency in order to be able to do it.
"Or we can legislate now - with the discussion that will be put in Parliament on the safeguards and on the circumstances in which it would be used - and have that available in the future," she said.
But Britain's Labour government faces a tough sell. The BBC notes that the Liberal Democrats are opposed to the new bill, and feel they're echoing the public mood. And in an interview with The Times of London, Conservative Party leader David Cameron accused Prime Minister Gordon Brown of using the ant-terror bill to tar Labour's political opposition.
"I am afraid that he sees this as a totally political weapon: let us try and make the Tories look soft on terror. That is my problem with our Prime Minister: he looks at every single issue from the point of view of what is the right dividing line that divides me from my opponent, not what is right for the country, and I think that is what he is doing here."
The antiterror bill faces opposition from within the Labour Party as well. The Independent of London, in a survey of Labour members of Parliament (MPs) last month, found that at least 38 MPs were opposed to the plan to expand detention to 42 days. If at least 34 Labour MPs join the opposition to vote against the bill, the government will not be able to get it passed. The Independent notes that former Prime Minister Tony Blair suffered a similar rebellion within Labour ranks in 2005, when he tried to pass an antiterrorism bill that would have expanded uncharged detentions to 90 days maximum. That bill failed when 49 Labour MPs joined the opposition against it.
The Independent also reports that there are concerns within the Home Office about the bill's possible side effects. The paper writes that Ms. Smith was warned by researchers in her own department that the expanded detention could hurt relations with British Muslims, who see themselves as the bill's intended targets.
An equality-impact assessment, published by the department, said that Muslims felt that the anti-terror legislation already in force discriminated against them. It noted: "Muslim groups said that pre-charge detention may risk information being forthcoming from members of the community in the future."
The research echoed the conclusions of focus groups of young Muslim men conducted on behalf of Liberty, a civil liberties group. The polling company ComRes found that most Muslims believed the 28-day maximum was already too long. They said: "There is a strong consensus that extending the limit would only serve to promote the extremists' cause, that it would do little to help tackle terrorism, that it would damage the UK's international reputation and that it would further erode community relations."
And in an editorial, The Times of London wonders whether there's any evidence to support the government's claim that the extended detention is really necessary. If not, The Times says, it should not be made law.
Police currently have four weeks from the date of arrest to build cases against terror suspects. Ministers claim that extra time is needed because of the sheer complexity of the conspiracies they face, many conducted in foreign languages and with computer encryption. Such challenges should not be understated. But there have been no cases to date in which charges might have been brought in six weeks that were not brought in four or fewer, and only 11 suspects have been held without charge for longer than 14 days since the limit was raised to 28 days in 2006. ...
Last November, in his capacity as the anti-terrorism czar, Lord West of Spithead told the BBC that he was not persuaded by the arguments for extended detention without charge. Barely an hour later, after meeting the Prime Minister, he said he was persuaded after all. If he was told of specific cases where two extra weeks might have meant important convictions, Parliament deserves to know. If not, the conclusion must be that this plan has more to do with politics than security. It has no place on the statute book.

Last year, we still decorated our home but it was very minimal--not as much as Pops did. Since he passed away early September last year, my mother and I also opted to celebrate Christmas eve at my sister's place as it was really gloomy and forlorn at home. It was never the same sans my Pops.
This year, however, I pledged myself to enliven up our home with the same decors that Pops used during the past Christmases that we had with him. His red lantern now hangs in our front porch filled with lights. Glittering gold, green and red garlands that he used for our Christmas tree now adorned our screen door.
Though Pops is no longer around, I know that wherever he is (I believe he's in heaven with Jesus), he's happy to see that his lantern hangs brightly in our front porch. It's Christmas once again in our home. Merry Christmas, Pops. Happy birthday, Lord Jesus!

Ten Tips for a Great Yoga Practice
To succeed at anything, you must know two things: the ground rules and yourself. Here are ten tips for growing your Yoga practice into a sturdy, fruit-laden tree. If you bear these points in mind, you can expect to reap the benefits of your efforts surprisingly quickly. Although you shouldn't expect overnight miracles, correct Yoga practice can bring you multiple advantages — physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Understand Yoga
To engage in Yoga successfully, you must first understand what it is and how it works. Sometimes people rush into Yoga practice without knowing anything about it, and then they have to work through a bunch of misconceptions before they can benefit from it.
Traditional Yoga involves study, a key aspect of practice for thousands of years. You can acquaint yourself with the actual literature of Yoga — notably the Yoga-Sutra of Patanjali and the Bhagavad-Gita — through the many translations available today. The Yoga tradition is vast and highly diverse. Discover which approach speaks to you the most.
Be clear (and realistic) about your goals and needs
If you want your Yoga practice to be successful, take the time to consider your personal situation carefully and then set your goals based on your abilities and needs. Ask yourself, "How much free time do I have or want to make available for Yoga? What are my expectations? Do I want to become or stay fit and trim? Do I want to be able to relax more and discover the art of meditation? Do I want to adopt Yoga as a lifestyle or explore the spiritual dimension of life?" When you're realistic, you're less likely to experience disappointment or guilt when your schedule seems overwhelming.
If you're dealing with health issues or physical impediments, make sure you consult your physician before you launch your Yoga practice.
Commit yourself to growth
Even if you don't choose to practice Yoga as a lifestyle, keep an open mind about Yoga's involvement in your life. Allow it to transform not only your body but also your mind. Don't put a ceiling on your own development or assume that you're incapable of ever achieving a certain Yoga posture or learning how to meditate. Let Yoga gently work with your physical and mental limitations, expand your abilities, help you outgrow useless attitudes and negative thoughts, and discover new horizons.
Stay for the long haul
Spoiled by their consumerist societies, most people expect quick fixes. Although Yoga can work miracles in a short span of time, it's not like instant coffee. To derive the full benefits from Yoga, you have to apply yourself diligently, which also nicely strengthens your character. The longer you practice Yoga, the more enjoyable and beneficial it becomes. Give Yoga at least a year to prove itself to you. You won't be disappointed. In fact, you may very well come out of that year with a lifelong commitment to growing with Yoga!
Develop good habits from the beginning
Bad habits die hard, so cultivate good Yoga habits from the outset. If possible, take two or three lessons from a qualified Yoga teacher, either in a group class or privately. Or pick up a book (perhaps the aforementioned Yoga For Dummies) and read about specific techniques and movements before trying out the postures and breathing exercises.
Wrong practice can do damage! Protect yourself by proceeding slowly and following the instructions step by step. Err on the cautious side. If in doubt, always consult a teacher or knowledgeable practitioner.
Vary your routine to avoid boredom
After you enjoy the initial wash of enthusiasm, your mind may start playing tricks on you. (Here are some favorite expressions of doubt: "Maybe Yoga doesn't work." "It doesn't work for me." "I have other more important things to do." "I don't feel like practicing today.") If you're easily bored, vary your program periodically to keep your interest alive. Slogging through Yoga or any exercise program serves no purpose. Cultivate what the Zen Buddhists call "beginner's mind": Approach your Yoga sessions (and, in fact, everything else) with the same intensity and freshness that you brought to your very first session. If you focus on each exercise properly, your mind doesn't have time to feel bored. Also, the more you involve yourself in the spirit of Yoga, the more centered you become, lessening your likelihood of needing an exercise potpourri.
Make awareness and breath your allies
Yoga practice is so potent because, if you practice it correctly, it combines physical movement with awareness and proper breathing. Awareness and breath are Yoga's secret weapons. The sooner you catch on to this concept, the more quickly you can enjoy satisfying results. Bringing awareness to your exercise routine also automatically strengthens your overall capacity for concentration and mindfulness. You're able to work more efficiently and better appreciate your leisure time. In particular, conscious breathing during the exercises greatly enhances the effects of your practice on your body and mind, equipping you with the vitality you need to meet the challenges of a busy life.
Do your best and don't worry about the rest
People often anxiously watch their progress. Progress isn't linear; sometimes you seem to take a step back, only to take a big leap forward in due course. Be diligent but relaxed about your Yoga practice. Perfectionism serves no purpose other than to frustrate you and irritate others. In aspiring to reach your goal, be kind to yourself (and others). Don't worry about what may or may not happen down the line. Focus on practicing now and leave the rest to the power of Yoga, providence, and your good karma.
Allow your body to speak up
Your body is your best friend and counselor, and listening to it is an art well worth cultivating. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Trust your bodily instincts and intuitions not only in your Yoga practice but also in daily life. All too frequently, your body tells you one thing and your mind another. Learn to go with your body.
When practicing Hatha Yoga, be especially careful about letting your desire to achieve quick results get in the way of common sense and bodily wisdom. For instance, if a forward or backward bend feels risky, don't test your luck. Or if your body tells you that you aren't ready for the headstand (which isn't recommended for beginners anyway), don't fall victim to your own ambition.
Share Yoga
In the beginning, plan to practice Yoga with others until you find your own momentum. Sometimes everyone needs a little encouragement, and a supportive environment is a great bonus. If you don't go to a regular Yoga class, take the initiative to enlist an interested family member or friend in your Yoga practice. Yoga is a wonderful gift to give to anyone, so offer it with love and tempered enthusiasm.

Yule Wonder
If you're like me, you may have seen cakes in your local bwreckery (<- New word! Booya!) that look a lot like logs. Yule logs, to be exact. And if you're like me, you may ask yourself, "Why do I always get the cart with the wonky wheel?" Which is a mystery. But you might also ask yourself, "Self, what is a Yule Log?" To which your Self might answer, "42" - at which point you should make a mental note to adjust any prescription meds you might be taking.
But, I digress.
Where was I?
Right. Yule logs!
Here comes one now:
I promised Jen this wouldn't be a knotty post! Ha! See, Jen? I can pun with the best of 'em.
Oh, that sort of sounds suggestive. Uh. Never mind.
So there you have it. The Majestic Yule Log. All warm and fuzzy? Good, good.
Thanks to Carrie F., Melissa B., Jenichan, Anna L., Shannon K., and Jessica S., who I'm sure know what the phrase "dropped a log" means, even if Jen doesn't.
Note: Yes, yes, we know what a Yule Log is. It's the First Fruits tree branch that was carved into a Menorah and given to the Baby Jesus at Winter Solstice. And I'm pretty sure there were Pilgrims involved too.

Tim Tebow mic'd up for "Sound FX" from NFL Films
NFL Films wired Tim Tebow to catch all of the sound from Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
The whole segment is now available online through NFL Videos. Or right here:
What's your favorite moment?
For me:
- Running back Jeremiah Johnson screaming like a crazy man after Wesley Woodyard stripped Marion Barber of the football in overtime. "Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhhh!" Johnson shrieked as he hit Tebow on the shoulder pad. "I told you, Tebow!"
- Tebow talking to Demaryius Thomas after Thomas dropped a sure touchdown in the third quarter. (Moments earlier, NFL Films captured Tebow's reaction to the drop, as he turned to ask Zane Beadles, "Did it go through his hands?"). Tebow told Thomas that he'd go catch the game-winner in a bit. The duo's touchdown pass and catch late in the fourth quarter wasn't the game-winner, but it sure helped.
- Quarterbacks coach Adam Gase asking Tebow if the quarterback was OK after taking a hit from Urlacher. Tebow insisted he was, adding that the linebacker was feeling worse than he was.

British designer Neil Barrett, whose grandfather and great-grandfather were master tailors, knows a thing or two about clean lines and confident silhouettes. His latest collection, though manifested in his signature mod-art minimalism, was inspired by the Bahá'í Faith. It's a bit difficult to get a pulse on precisely what that means, but one interpretation might lie in the 19th-century Persian religion's core value of unity—that all races, religions and genders are created equal. From luxed-up sweatshirts to immaculate topcoats made more casual by cropping at the waist, every look on Barrett's runway feels somehow equivalent; on a level playing field of laid-back formality. Check out other unifying themes that caught our eye below:
Get Mono. Black-on-black, camel-on-camel, navy-on-navy. Going monochromatic is subtle and forceful at the same time.
Textural Feelings. From leather panels to fuzzy wool to embossed chevron patterns, Barrett found countless ways to add interest to his restrained palette. (Click images to enlarge.)
Oddball Geometry. Quintessential shapes like crewnecks, bombers and blazers were treated as blank canvases for op-art graphics.
Neil Barrett is available at selected Nordstrom stores.

Now I'm no food writer or blogger but it would be remiss of me to not attempt to sum up the astonishing eating experience I had at the Swine That Dines vegetarian evening RootstoShoots. I'm a meat eater but my partner isn't, this has actually been very beneficial to me as my diet has improved, is more balanced and fits in much better to the ethos that it's better for us and the planet if we all eat a bit less meat.
Whilst there are some notable exceptions in Leeds, generally the level of vegetarian food available on most venues' menus is sorely lacking in imagination or choice. The culmination of this is perhaps no better illustrated than when it comes to Christmas menus which seem to default to some form of risotto. Now who doesn't like a good risotto but come on people is that the best you can do? It comes as very much a welcome relief therefore to go somewhere knowing that from a vegetarian perspective you are going to potentially be able to eat everything on the menu. This is especially true when you consider that The Swine That Dines very much specialises in nose to tail eating, or so I thought. What I learnt is that they just specialise in very good cooking.
For those who don't know The Swine That Dines is an offshoot of The Greedy Pig on North Street and opens up on weekend evenings, with the vegetarian menu (#rootstoshoots) being the first weekend of the month. The setting is a small (about 14 covers) cafe and therefore does not come with the airs and graces of a fancy restaurant, however that is just fine by me. You can relax, bring your own wine and enjoy what's on offer. It had the feeling of being somewhere that you long to randomly discover while walking around an unknown neighbourhood of some continental city. A place that you are going to rave about afterwards and long to return to, luckily for me I'll be able to any time I want.
The evening works like a tasting menu, but you don't have to order everything, indeed there was a guy in there just having a couple of dishes with a bottle of beer. Obviously we went for everything on the menu which they explain they bring out two dishes at a time. Each dish is of a starter size and I love this sort of British tapas approach enabling you to share a couple of plates at a time, relax and wait for the next ones. I also loved the way the menu was written, just three or four ingredients with no hint really on how they would be prepared or served which for me added to the intrigue. It was a welcome relief to not see the words foam, air, jus, pan fried (how the hell else do you fry something?) anywhere near the menu. Our menu was this:
Coco Beans, Goats Curd, Lemon, Rye
Sweet Potato, Burnt Butter, Nori, Yuzu
Carrots, Romesco, Ewes Cheese
Fava, Quails Egg, Dukka, Pomegranate
Buttermilk, Polenta, Wild Garlic, Aiolli
Duck Egg, Smoked Potato, Buckwheat, Sorrel
Oyster Mushrooms, Quinoa, Hazelnut, Porter
Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Tomato Sambal, Peanut
Now if you are like me and you read that menu you have to be intrigued either thinking ooh what's that or mmmm how are they going to pull those things together, what will it look like, taste like etc. Either way you can't wait for the first couple of plates to arrive. When they did arrive and you tasted the humble ingredients beautifully presented I was simply mesmerised. I don't think I've ever tasted food as good or certainly not better. Each plate was a dazzlingly array of taste and texture, flavours meeting, marrying and exploding in your mouth sending your senses into overload. I found it quite incredible how someone could take a carrot or a potato, surely the humblest of humble ingredients and make you feel like you were eating the most luxurious food imaginable.
I cannot pick a stand out dish even though we spent a lot of time discussing it, they were all brilliant although there were a couple of stand out elements, the carrot, smoked potato, oyster mushrooms did it for me. The only ingredient that didn't appeal to me was the buckwheat, didn't stop me almost resorting to licking the plate clean mind.
If you've seen the film Ratatouille then this for me was that film come to life, an astonishing chef cooking from the heart and creating dishes to die for.
Going out for food this good is for many people a very special occasion type of affair, one that you know is going to seriously cost. Here though the evening out was such astonishingly good value that it puts the experience within reach of most people I'd suggest. Each plate was £6 – that's £48 for all 8 or £24 each !!!! There cannot be anywhere else where you can get food this good for such good value. I often eat out thinking blimey this is a lot of money for something I could basically cook myself. Never has that feeling been further from my mind at The Swine That Dines.
So where are all the foodie, artful, Instagramed pictures of these marvellous plates. Simple, no picture can possibly do the food justice. Just go eat there and see for yourself, but leave space for me as I'll be taking up residence I think.

Falk Selected for National Leadership Development ProgramMelissa Falk '92, associate dean of admission and financial aid, selected to participate in a year-long Senior Leadership Academy.
Monday, April 1, 2013 10:41 AM
Muhlenberg College is pleased to announce that Melissa Falk '92, associate dean of admission and financial aid, is one of 26 mid-level administrators in higher education nationwide selected by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the American Academic Leadership Institute (AALI) to participate in a year-long Senior Leadership Academy.
Individuals chosen for the program are mid-level administrators in higher education who aspire to senior leadership positions in independent colleges or universities. Falk will participate in two seminars, one in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, November 1–3, 2013, and one in Washington, DC, June 10–12, 2014. Falk will undertake a mentoring program, experiential learning projects and a series of readings and case studies.
The purpose of the Academy is to prepare prospective leaders to assume positions as the chief officers in any division—including academic affairs, student affairs, finance, enrollment management, and advancement—in independent higher education.
"The need to prepare future leaders of colleges and universities has never been greater because the generation of people now in senior leadership positions on campus is rapidly approaching retirement," said CIC President Richard Ekman. "Competition for the available places in the program was intense, and the review committee found the nomination materials to be most impressive. They (and I) believe that Melissa Falk has the potential for highly effective leadership in a position of senior responsibility on campus."
Since the program began in the 2010–2011 academic year, many participants have experienced upward mobility. Eight have been appointed to vice presidencies at other institutions, three have been appointed to vice presidencies at their home institutions, 15 have earned promotions to positions of greater responsibility within their home institutions, and four have advanced to higher positions at other institutions.
"These early indicators suggest that CIC is helping to meet the leadership needs of higher education by offering highly effective leadership development programs for modest fees to member institutions," Ekman said.

Chances are parents have started someback-to-schoolshopping. Have you noticed, though, that bookmarks are often not among the supplies found at the store? So here's an easy project: fun, pencil-themed bookmarks. They'll come in handy, and it also gives the kids a chance to prepare for the new school year. For a colorful variation, younger children may want to create crayon bookmarks instead of pencil ones.
(These supplies are sold at craft stores, some department stores and online.)
Jumbo craft sticks
Acrylic craft paint: yellow, pink, peach, silver and black
Emery board or sandpaper, optional
Fine-point black permanent marker
Acrylic sealer
Note: Each craft stick will need to be painted on both sides. Allow one side to dry before painting the other side.
1. Paint each craft stick with yellow paint; let dry.
2. Paint about an inch or so of one end with pink paint for the eraser; let dry.
3. Leaving about 3/4-inch of the pink paint visible, paint a stripe of silver over the bottom of the pink; let dry.
4. Paint about 1 inch of the other end of the craft stick with peach paint; let dry.
5. Use scissors to cut the end into a point, making sure there are no splinters. Sandpaper or an emery board can smooth out edges. (Skip this step if you are concerned about a pointy tip for younger kids, or just round off the tip with scissors.)
6. Paint the end of the tip black for the pencil lead; let dry.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 4 and step 6 for the other side.
8. Label the bookmark with the marker. Some suggestions include the class subject (science, math, etc.), the child's name or her school's name. For a more generic approach, write "No. 2" and give them as back-to-school gifts!
9. Apply a coat of acrylic sealer to both sides of the bookmark.

I believe there is a desire in most, if not all, of our children to be great and exceptional, and I further believe that the quality of their lives reflects the extent to which families, communities and the nation affirm the possibility of this desire.
We had such an affirmation Wednesday, when the president of the United States stood in line with the Worcester Technical High School principal, the Worcester superintendent of schools and the mayor of the city to shake hands with 301 young men and women clinging to their freshly minted high school diplomas.
The moment was magical, but its strength was in the realization that it was brought to us not by some wizardry but by the commitment and investment of the students, their families, their community and their country.
President Obama, who gave the commencement address, touched on this when he told the students to remember that the successful completion of their high school years was made possible because "somebody somewhere invested" in their success.
"I know that's true for me," he said.
"I was raised by a single mom with the help of my grandparents. We didn't have a lot of money growing up. At times, we struggled. When my mom was going to school at the same time as she was raising my sister and me, we had to scrape to get by.
"But we had a family who loved me and my sister. And I had teachers who cared about me. And ultimately, with the help of a community and a country that supported me, I was able to get a good education."
And for the most part Worcester has in many ways affirmed its belief in the greatness of its children, although such affirmations are often lost in the fog of our political battles.
The city had promised, for example, that the venue at which the president spoke, the DCU Center, would be vital to the economic well-being of residents. The facility, opened in 1982, was funded with an initial investment of $2 million in private pledges, $5 million in federal grants and $7.9 million in city-issued bonds.
But it wasn't easy to believe it then, with all the delays and controversies that preceded its construction.
The city promised in 1998, when the City Council took the highly controversial vote to put the vocational school under the jurisdiction of the Worcester Public Schools, that the move was worthwhile, and so too was the subsequent decision to build a new $90 million vocational school with 90 percent of the cost reimbursed by the state.
But it wasn't easy to see it then, when so many, including the Worcester Vocational Technical Alumni Association, thought those moves would spell the end of meaningful vocational education in the city.
There are dozens of other investments by the city in its young people that have been missed or taken for granted. Unfortunately, time has made such investments increasingly difficult. Indeed, we are living in an era in which investments in the things that make us great, like education, are being characterized as a waste of taxpayers' money.
And that was the gift of Wednesday's Worcester Tech high school graduation and presidential visit.
It gave us a moment, fleetingly though it may have been, to bask in the affirmation of all the things we have said and all the things we have done to help our children believe that the distance between them and someone as powerful as the president of the United States is as close as a handshake.

Some of you may remember that, last summer, we chronicled for you the different levels of Apple zealotry. There is the OS-defending zealot, the Apple hardware collecting zealot (I'm looking at you Erik!), the zealot who shaves or tattoos various incarnations of the Apple logo on his or her body, and then the most severe form of Apple zealot, the one that collects lego-esque action figures of his or her favorite Apple personalities.
It was at that time that we pointed out a set of Lego-themed bricks, based on Apple's award-winning 1984 commercial. It was then when our fears were realized. The set sold out alarmingly fast, like Kansas City out of the pennant race fast. There were many more of these individuals afflicted by this severe form of zealotry then we had ever realized—hordes of you were willing to pay $200 for the limited edition (not) Lego set.
The events of last summer about to happen again. This time, PodBrix is releasing a limited-edition run of 300 "Young Woz and Jobs Playset." The set, which will go for $39.99, depicts Steve Jobs and a frighteningly wookie-like Steve Wozniak with a screwdriver in hand way back in the year 1972. Steve Jobs sports a sort of maniacal smirk while Wozniak a big grin, and beside both of them sits a computer that looks an awful lot like an Apple II. That is, if it wasn't seven years before that machine was produced.
Of course, there are varying degrees of each level of zealotry—a tattoo obviously makes for more of a zealot than a hair cut. Since this is the case, this set will definitely make you less of a zealot at $39.99 than those who paid the $198.99 price tag for the last limited edition. Please do consider that—after buying the add-on Steve, Steve dream house, and Steve dream Corvette—your level will rise significantly.
The set will go on sale August 29 at 9:00 PM Eastern Time. Good luck.

Latest News
Syrian troops say cease-fire hasn't stopped rebel attacks
With a United Nations-sponsored peace plan nearly one month old, Syrian soldiers in the country's north say rebel forces trying to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad are continuing to launch attacks on their positions daily in apparent violation of a cease-fire and are strong enough that government troops cannot enter several towns and villages near this city.
The soldiers, who were interviewed by a McClatchy correspondent traveling with U.N. monitors, described attacks that had taken place every day this week. Gunfire and explosions could be heard after dark on Tuesday in Idlib and into early Wednesday morning, testimony to ongoing fighting. On Wednesday, soldiers manning a checkpoint outside the town of Ariha, south of Idlib, showed reporters damage to an armored personnel carrier that they said was caused by a bomb planted on a nearby road last week.
"I know 17 soldiers who have died in the last two or three months," said Ahmed, who asked that he be identified by a single name only because he was not authorized to talk to reporters. "We can't leave the city unless we are in armored vehicles."
"For six months we have not been able to enter Ariha," said another soldier, who asked that he be identified only as Mazen because he, too, had not been given permission to talk to visiting journalists. "Today there was an attack on every checkpoint here. Last night they attacked a checkpoint and detonated a bomb."
It was impossible to verify the soldiers' claims. U.N. monitors, who have been allowed to travel largely unimpeded throughout Syria since the cease-fire went into effect April 12, made no public comment on what they heard in meetings with the soldiers' commanders. The monitors did not speak to the interviewed soldiers themselves, though they did speak with other soldiers.
The soldiers' assertions provide a counterbalance of sorts to a steady stream of reports of government cease-fire violations that have been detailed in news accounts that are based largely on information gleaned from opposition sympathizers and rebel sources. Most reports on the violence in Syria are compiled outside the country because the Syrian government does not routinely grant visas to international journalists seeking to report here.
Even those who have been given visas in recent days, including this correspondent, find their movements restricted, with warnings that they face arrest if they work without an escort provided by the Ministry of Information.
That policy, however, does not apply when journalists travel with the U.N. monitors, and the rare interviews with on-duty government soldiers took place without Syrian authorities present.
In those talks, the soldiers described their rebel enemies as capable, able to ambush Syrian army units, maneuver in relatively large groups and plot coordinated attacks, despite the lack of heavy weaponry. The rebels have been effective enough in inflicting casualties in close combat that government forces frequently resort to shelling urban areas from the edges as they seek to dislodge armed opponents. The result has been a tragic toll on populations that support the guerrillas or, in some cases, simply live in areas where the rebels operate. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have been displaced as entire villages, towns and neighborhoods have been destroyed.
That seems to have spurred even more rebel recruitment as friends or family of those killed or jailed by the government decide to join the guerrillas. New groups of rebels post videos online regularly announcing their formation.
Ahmed, who described himself as a member of a special operations unit who had volunteered for military duty, was interviewed in the city of Idlib. Mazen agreed to talk at a checkpoint outside the city. Neither expressed any sympathy for the rebels. "The intelligence services know their names and they will be killed," Mazen said.
Ahmed and other soldiers denied that they had ever opened fire on peaceful protests, but they readily acknowledged that members of their units had defected and that they had killed army defectors when they were located.
"Four months ago, the commander of our unit defected and started an armed group," Ahmed said, using a term the government uses to refer to the rebels.
Ahmed said that on Tuesday morning, a group of as many as 50 fighters attacked a checkpoint on the road into Idlib and detonated a bomb as reinforcements arrived. He said that two soldiers were wounded and six rebels killed.
Ahmed and other soldiers in Idlib said there had been explosions in the city on Monday, when Syrians voted for a new Parliament.
"Many people didn't vote because they were afraid," Ahmed said.
Supporters of the anti-Assad uprising called for a boycott of the vote and said it was observed in many areas. In some places, polls didn't open at all. Both sides have accused each other of threatening people who refused to go to the polls or supported the boycott.
Mazen listed nine towns and villages in the area around Idlib where soldiers were unable to go. He said the pace of attacks had remained steady for months as the army continued its campaign against the rebels.
Idlib itself, a city of about 150,000, was out of government control for months before the Syrian military retook it in March. Despite a heavy military presence here, attacks have continued, including a car bombing that destroyed a six-story building in late April.
Ahmed said the violence in Syria amounted to a civil war. Asked about the motivations of the men they were fighting, Ahmed said that the rebels wanted to destabilize Syria. He did not repeat government claims, however, that many of the rebels are foreigners, and most of the soldiers agree that the opponents they face are Syrian.
The Syrian government news agency, SANA, reported that three members of the military killed by rebels were buried on Wednesday. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said that more than 11,000 people have been killed in the past 14 months, the majority of them civilians.

Not long ago, some predicted that MannKind (NASDAQ:56400P706) faced the serious risk of striking out on winning approval for Afrezza. Instead, those predictions swung and missed. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved the inhaled insulin.
With this regulatory hurdle out of the way, MannKind looks to be in the best position in the company's storied history. Nevertheless, some risks remain.
Not if but when
The most prominent risk that comes to mind is whether MannKind will secure a partner to commercialize Afrezza. My view is that this isn't really a question of "if," but rather of "when."
Granted, MannKind's management team has frequently stated over the past few years that discussions were under way with potential partners, but no deal was ever struck. I don't doubt that partners were interested -- just not enough to commit. That was then. MannKind now has an approved product in its back pocket.
A handful of big pharmaceutical companies have been frequently mentioned as potential fits. MannKind CFO Matthew Pfeffer's comments at the Wells Fargo Healthcare Conference in June appeared to rule out a couple of big players in the diabetes market: Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) and Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY).
Pfeffer bluntly stated that companies with prandial insulin products already on the market "might not be the best partner candidate." Novo Nordisk's Novolog and Lilly's Humalog fit into this category. Both companies also claim solid diabetes pipelines that could decrease any interest in a competing product like Afrezza.
Merck (NYSE:MRK), though, could easily be on MannKind's short list. The big drugmaker has already exhibited a willingness to shell out money for a midsized acquisition with its $3.85 billion acquisition of Idenix. That price tag stacks up nicely with MannKind's current valuation, and Merck is still sitting on a big cash stockpile.
More important, the Merck and MannKind seem like a pretty good fit. Merck already has a sales force targeting the diabetes market with Janumet and Januvia. And the company has a global reach, something that Pfeffer indicated MannKind is looking for in a partner.
Regardless of whether it's Merck, I think the risk of MannKind failing to land a partner isn't its greatest concern. It's possible the company won't get everything on its wish list in finding a partner, but that wouldn't be a disaster.
Field of unpleasant dreams?
There's always the possibility that MannKind could encounter a reverse "Field of Dreams" scenario: they build it, but no one comes. Maybe physicians and patients won't go for Afrezza. I suspect this risk could also be overblown, though.
MannKind has already stated that it expects to price Afrezza similarly to Novolog and Humalog, so cost shouldn't be an impediment for payers to include the product on their formularies. The FDA did place some limitations on which patients can take Afrezza (excluding smokers and people with lung problems), but that still leaves a huge potential market.
Doctors must also perform a lung test before prescribing Afrezza. Some physicians could see this as burdensome, but we're talking about a relatively inexpensive test that is easy to administer. I think it's more likely that physicians will see clear benefits in Afrezza's convenience factor, rapid onset of action, and efficacy for type 2 diabetes.
Greatest risk?
Another risk for MannKind is the possibility that problems arise in the post-marketing clinical trials that the FDA is requiring. However, a more immediate issue could be even greater -- if not for the company itself, for the stock. What is this danger? Setting expectations too high.
Yes, Afrezza could (and, in my view, should) rack up billions in sales. But it won't happen overnight. Don't be surprised if the commercialization ramp-up and education of physicians goes more slowly than MannKind shareholders would prefer. Afrezza might truly be a game changer for diabetes, but doctors have to first be convinced. That could take some time.
Unrealistic expectations could hurt the stock's performance in 2015 as Afrezza is marketed. The good news for shareholders is that's still well in the future. In the meantime, the announcement of a solid partner should serve as yet another catalyst for this stock that has already soared over 80% this year.
That reminds me of yet another risk with MannKind. At the beginning of 2014, nearly 20% of MannKind's shares were sold short, a figure that grew in the subsequent months. Maybe the biggest risk of all is betting against this biotech.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- David Spade's publicist says the U.S. actor has a new baby daughter, his first child.
The 45-year-old former "Saturday Night Live" player has starred in the TV shows "Rules of Engagement," "8 Simple Rules" and "Just Shoot Me." He has also appeared in the movies "Black Sheep," "Lost & Found," "Joe Dirt" and "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star."
Spade's representative confirmed to Usmagazine.com that Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace gave birth to Spade's daughter Aug. 26 in Missouri.
No further details about the baby, such as its size or name, were given.
The child reportedly is Spade's first.
"I had a brief relationship with Jillian Grace," Spade told TMZ in January. "If it is true that I am the father of her child, then I will accept responsibility."

"The function of rock and roll," LIFE magazine suggested in a March 1968 article, "may be not to revolutionize but to enliven and refresh the American musical comedy. . . . It is certainly the only music that today can lure young people back to the musical theater they long ago deserted." One can argue, of course, that it was musical theater that deserted young people in the 1950s and 1960s, and not the other way around — but the article itself (wonderfully titled, "Whang! The Rock Musicals") had its square, unhip, well-meaning heart in the right place.
One of the works in question was the grooviest and, all these years later, still the most representative of all the late 1960s rock musicals: Hair. Here, on the anniversary of the play's April 29, 1968, Broadway opening, LIFE.com pays tribute to the self-proclaimed "American Tribal Love-Rock Musical" with photos made in rehearsals prior to that legendary opening night. (The notices from New York's notoriously prickly theater reviewers were almost universally raves.)
A Broadway revival of the show opened in March 2009 and won both a Tony and a Drama Desk Award for the best revival of a musical — justifying Richard Zoglin's assertion in his TIME magazine review that 40 years after its debut, Hair felt "more daring than ever."
Let the sunshine in, y'all.

I use the SecureVNCPlugin with AES-256
I want to have a unique encryption key for each session.
So, i can't use pkey and publickey file (because I don't know generate them dynamically)
I can't use a passphrase (because I don't know how to encrypt it in the ultravnc ini file)
then i could use the vnc password but the length is 8 characters.
I have tried to set the password more length (128 characters), it's works but i'm not sure that the 128 characters are used.
My question:
-is it possible to have a password of 128 length?
-if the password is 8 length, is the length of the encryption key?

Acme editor for Haskell development?
Working with an IDE that's quite heavy (understatement of the year), I'm certainly drawn to that simplicity and power much more than to other editors like Emacs and Vi, where it seems you have to remember an near-infinite list of arcane key combinations to be productive.
So I'm wondering, are there people out there using Acme or Oberon or Plan 9 for Haskell development? How do you find it? What good ideas could be applicable to other environments? I'm always looking out for ways to improve EclipseFP and Haskell development tools in general, is this a path worth exploring?
I've seen that blog entry, from somebody apparently using Erlang, and I noticed the following: Other sacrifices are syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, specific language support. Is that true? Isn't there a way to add syntax highlighting in Acme? And I suppose the specific language support you get by exposing your tool via the Acme system for text commands...
Happy Haskell Hacking, on Acme or not!

The Yi editor is probably closest to what you describe http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Yi
Yi seems to have gone through a period of rapid development, a period of abandonment, then some more development. I'm not sure of its current status.
Leksah is also a Haskell IDE written in Haskell http://leksah.org
BTW, Emacs and Vi don't require learning loads of shortcuts; their users just end up learning shortcuts over time because, well, they're shortcuts ;) Plus keystrokes are much easier to automate than mouse events, so Googling for a couple of keystrokes to record as a macro may get a repetitive task done in 30 seconds that might otherwise require writing an IDE plugin.
Personally I use an Emacs 'starter kit' called Emacs Prelude ( http://batsov.com/prelude/ ) which I've customised over time ( https://gitorious.org/warbo-dotfiles/warbo-dotfiles/source/79ea69c4ce2940f33a2fb0ddb10cfe5580ea79eb:emacs.d/init.el ) but there are other starter kits out there too ( http://ergoemacs.org/misc/list_of_emacs_starter_kits.html ). I recommend you give Emacs and/or Vi a chance!
- Daniel Santa Cruz said...
Acme's use of the mouse is what turned me off, even though some of the other issues (i.e. highlighting, tabbing/indenting) support were also troublesome.
I wonder if it would be sensible to make an Acme that didn't necessitate the mouse (yes, memorize a few CTRL+xyz commands), and if the other issues could also be resolved.
- Evan Laforge said...
Mouse is the whole reason to use acme! If you don't like the mouse there's really not much left for you.
I used to use acme for python and haskell, and I still miss the quick mouse chording and proportional fonts. Especially the ability to easily transfer code between the REPL and the module. I don't like syntax coloring or autoindent, so I didn't miss those.
All that said, I longed for fancier edits and cursor moves than the "pipe to external program" model could provide, so here I am back on vim again. But vim is really antiquated and overgrown and badly needs replacing (I say that as someone who's been using it since Amiga days), and at one point I hoped yi would be that replacement. Maybe it still could be.
But even being antiquated buggy and overgrown, vim still looks like a shining model of reliability speed and simplicity compared to the IDEs I've used.
- Christopher Lord said...
I think acme really has the right idea in embracing text and the full multi-dimensional qualities of the mouse. The thing I wish it had was a full-blown parser like Parsec. I certainly think there is room for an editor like acme that is configured with a haskell DSL (like xmonad) and that runs on native ui widgets.
But... there are things about acme that transcend mere language choice, like the /mnt/acme filesystem.
