for me is dealing with my daughter when her father doesnt call her or answer the phone when she calls him. money, time for myself, cant have a relationship, the older she is getting all she tells me is she hates me cause her dad dont live with us, she worships her dad but he never was in her life thats hurts so much. and now the government will be taking my tax returns for school loans that i owe $40,000 i m tired of life.

besides the financial, I'd say the most common problem we face is not having anyone to back you up when a decision has to be made. It's not easy to make decisions that are in your child's best interest without having a partner to not only discuss it with, but to also stand as a united front with you for that decision. It's hard being mom and dad especially to a teen ager.

for me, it's been dealing with those middle of the night fevers, bloody noses, battle of the wills of going to bed, and other decisions at night when it's just you. You wish you had someone there to bounce ideas and support you with making the best decision you can with what you have.

My ex not helping fincally. Doesn't see his daughter maybe every 3 months.The stress of him and the screaming and lies and bs still even though we live an hour away. Not having car and trying to do everything thing by myself. Not enough money. Not enough time. Not enough support other then from mom.

Day care! paying for it, finding it, and needing a night time one. The first babysitter got beat up by her drunk husband practically everynight!
Alone time- the other parent doesn't understand that while they're up al night partying, we're up all night about to go insane over a crying baby, then there is no such thing as sleeping in ( lucky to reach 7 am)

Thank you, Cheryl. I know that one day she'll see it all how it is. If I were to say anything negative she would end up resenting me, and that is something I NEVER want to happen.

In one way or another every ones posts above have all been difficulties I have faced over the the last 12 years of being a single mom. Although, my ex. did and still does see the children, still only does offer his support and money when he feels like it. I truly think he feels justified. I have finally realized that he loves the kids and truly thinks he does more than enough. Because...he thinks that somehow I am supposed to do the most and give the most.Go figure. For me personally, not having any one that I can turn to for support at night when the house is quiet and the problems look so big(.Although, I am a chirstian and God is my strength and I do talk to him) having someone there physically that you can lean on and depend on to be the man in the house is missing, Than again..if that relationship is not good..it is just easier being alone.Now that my kids are in college they want me to have someone and feel bad when they go out and I stay in . They don't want me to be alone..The tables turn and they worry over me. Honestly..I am happy with my life for the most part. I would like to have my own handy man to fix all the broken things in my house! haha!

The feeling that you will be single for the rest of your life because no guy wants the responsibility of someone else's child. Before I met my fiance I had went on many dates, and as soon as I told the guy I had a daughter, things took a complete 180 and the guy would freak out. I'll never understand men. lol

Understanding. Real understanding. People will say "gosh I feel for you" or "wow I don't know how you do it" but then when it comes to, having to leave work for a child that just threw up at daycare, or you can't go out because the cost of childcare would equal the cost of going out they act like you're just a whiny pain!

Raven is not old enough to ask for her father yet,but with my elder son and daughter i used to find t terrible when they asked why mommy and daddy does not live together like other parents do.I had to explain that because we don't agree on alot of thing and do not wat to argue the whole time,we have decided to seperate.But the most important thing I make sure to tell them is,It is not your faults and we both love them very much and our love will never change.

Crystal it's heartbreaking, isn't it? I remember when my daughter asked too...she cried. I don't think I'd ever felt so sad...you're doing the right thing by NEVER saying anything bad about him.
Crystal - posted on 10/14/2010
Now that my daughter is 4 the toughest part is that she asks about her dad. Most of her friends at school have their daddies around, and she wants to know where her's is. He hasn't seen her since she was 6 months old. Entirely his own choice. I refuse to say anything negative about him to her, so I just tell her where he lives and that he's "working"...

I would say lonliness.
I'm lucky in that my 3 year old goes to bed at 7pm so I get some me time, my problem is when she's in bed and I should be enjoying my "me" time I'm either trying to catch up on the washing, or some other form of housework, or in the unusal case when I'm on top of everything a lonely night in front of the tv is all I have to look forward to.
I comfort eat a lot, which makes me put on weight, which makes me feel back, which makes me comfort eat... I don't think I would do that if someone was around.

Always having to get a babysitter when you need to go to the doctor, get a haircut, have some time alone, or meet with friends. Not having someone to help you make important decisions about your child's life. Always short on time and money...I always joke that I am a day late and a dollar short. However, I wouldn't give up my little boy for anything!

Most commom problem seems to be able to do everything! You make the decisions, you pay the bills, you are there for the tears, the smiles, the scared of the darks moments. It's hard to always be the strong one. No one to ask for help, no one to be the parent when you are tired or sick. I struggle being a single parent trying to work to pay bills and still spend that quality time with my daughter. Being in the Air Force and deploying doesn't help either. And dating, well that doesn't always work out to what you would like. It's hard being the strong one but the lonely one at the same time. Some days are the greatest because your child looks at you as though you are the best thing in the world and others it seems like you are drowning with decisions, bills, crying, housework and the stress of work.

Staying positive for our children! I understand but I want you all to know you are not alone, just because there is not a physical man in our life does not mean we are alone...just think there are women out there who are in a relationship who are struggling just as much if not more to raise a child, alone! find your strength in God, if you believe. Find your strength from within if you do not..but believe this if nothing else..that precious life you have been charged with raising is the most important thing you will do in this life time. Focus on doing a good job, make yourself proud and your child will be proud of you..show your children that a family is made up of love not of the number of people in it or if there is a man around. Don't get me wrong, the right man is nice to have but hard to find so lets be happy with the blessing we have in front of us and not the preceived blessing we think we might be missing. Bless you all!!

I agree with the other mom's you don't get a lone time, you can't go out, so your job becomes your escape. When you start relying on that it becomes non enjoyable. Every parent discipline idea I read say I'm to do it but how is the question. The other thing I find is that you friends drift if they don't have kids. If you child has special need like mine do know one wants to visit either. So I feel very lonely.

Ditto on the ill parent problem when the kids are young.Its hard to cope when your not feeling well and have no one to help if you have a fever, or nausea when you need to be in bed in order to get better. Now that their older, its not a problem.
The most recent single mom problem I had was 'parent orienation/open house' for both kids at the same school ,on the same night. I had to juggle both kids H.S. schedules and pick/choose which teachers/classes I was/wasn't going to meet for each child. I notified the school about this problem before hand, but got no solution or response and offered no help. I guess I had to figure it out on my own and contact those teachers individually that I didn't get to meet. Not the biggest problem in the world, but it was a hassle that evening trying to decide what to do. (Luckily for me a couple teachers weren't there, so I could skip those).
The schools need to consider this dilema when they schedule parent orientations and realize single parents with kids have a problem that go to the same school and are within 1-5yrs apart.

Where do we start. You could write a book about it. Its very hard being a single mom trying to do everything u possibly can for your child and there is nothing worse when the father isnt in the picture to help u out every now and then. I love my son to bits and wouldnt change him for the world but it would be really nice if these lowlife dads would step up and take responsibility for there kids and us single moms just want our kids dads to be apart of there life's to me personally the money dosnt matter once the dad is there for his child thats all that counts to me....!!

For me it would be the stigma of being a single parent.Many people will not even speak to you if they know you are a single parent. Fearing you may steal their husband. Hello!!!! All this single parent wants is someone to talk to and share the highs and lows with. Getting advice on how to deal with situations etc etc. It is very hard when you don't have someone else at home to bounce ideas off and to know you are doing the right thing. Another problem I have is with finding a job. I prefer to be home for my children when they are not at school, but it is very hard to find a job during the week that does not include rostered weekend days as well. Kids need parents at home on weekends. especially when there is only one parent .

It is a toss up between financial, support in general and the stigma that still tends to be the invisible elephant in the room. I have a lot of great support which helps. I guess that is the main thing to have in the end. The rest of it can be worked around.

Ordovician radiation
The Ordovician radiation, or the great Ordovician biodiversification event (GOBE), was an evolutionary radiation of animal life throughout[1] the Ordovician period, 40 million years after the Cambrian explosion,[2] whereby the distinctive Cambrian fauna fizzled out to be replaced with a Palaeozoic fauna rich in suspension feeder and pelagic animals.[3]
It followed a series of Cambrian–Ordovician extinction events, and the resulting fauna went on to dominate the Palaeozoic relatively unchanged.[4] Marine diversity increased to levels typical of the Palaeozoic,[5] and morphological disparity was similar to today's.[6][7] The diversity increase was neither global nor instantaneous; it happened at different times in different places.[4] Consequently, there is unlikely to be a simple or straightforward explanation for the event; the interplay of many geological and ecological factors likely produced the diversification.[1]
Possible causes include changes in palaeogeography or tectonic activity, as well as a modified nutrient supply.[8] The dispersed positions of the continents, high level of tectonic/volcanic activity, warm climate, and high CO2 levels would have created a large, nutrient-rich ecospace, favoring diversification.[2] In addition, the changing geography led to a more diverse landscape, with more different and isolated environments; this no doubt facilitated the emergence of bioprovinciality, and speciation by isolation of populations.[1] On the other hand, global cooling has also been offered as a cause of the radiation,[9] and another alternative is that the breakup of an asteroid led to the Earth being consistently pummelled by meteorites,[3] such as the proposed Ordovician meteor event.
The above triggers would have been amplified by ecological escalation, whereby any new species would co-evolve with others, creating new niches through niche partitioning, trophic layering, or by providing a new habitat.[clarification needed][8] As with the Cambrian Explosion, it is likely that environmental changes drove the diversification of plankton, which permitted an increase in diversity and abundance of plankton-feeding lifeforms, including suspension feeders on the sea floor, and nektonic organisms in the water column.[3] After the SPICE event about 500 million years ago, the extinction in the ocean would have opened up new niches for photosynthetic plankton, who would absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and release large amount of oxygen. More oxygen and a more diversified photosynthetic plankton as the bottom of the food chain, would have affected the diversity of higher marine organisms and their ecosystems.[10]
If the Cambrian Explosion is thought of as producing the modern phyla,[11] the GOBE can be considered as the "filling out" of these phyla with the modern (and many extinct) classes and lower-level taxa.[3]
Taxonomic diversity increased manifold; the total number of marine orders doubled, and families tripled.[4] In addition to a diversification, the event also marked an increase in the complexity of both organisms and food webs.[1] Taxa begun to have localized ranges, with different faunas at different parts of the globe.[1] Communities in reefs and deeper water begun to take on a character of their own, becoming more clearly distinct from other marine ecosystems.[1] And as ecosystems became more diverse, with more species being squeezed into the food web, a more complex tangle of ecological interactions resulted, promoting strategies such as ecological tiering.[1] The global fauna that emerged during the GOBE went on to be remarkably stable until the catastrophic end-Permian extinction and the ensuing Mesozoic Marine Revolution.[1]
The acritarch record (the majority of acritarchs were probably marine algae)[3] displays the Ordovician radiation beautifully; both diversity and disparity peaked in the middle Ordovician.[2] The warm waters and high sea level (which had been rising steadily since the early Cambrian) permitted large numbers of phytoplankton to prosper; the accompanying diversification of the phytoplankton may have caused an accompanying radiation of zooplankton and suspension feeders.[2]
The planktonic realm was invaded as never before, with several invertebrate lineages colonising the open waters and initiating new food chains at the end of the Cambrian into the early Ordovician.[12]

I love this! Look at those colors! Look at the way the blocks form a towering city (or art installation) for that wee little matreshka, all alone. Something about the repetition of shape and the dynamic interaction of color makes the photos very satisfying.
I'm glad you were able to put it into words because I couldn't (hence, the lack of my words!). She just set it up before she went to bed the other night and out of the blue called it the art gallery. I love it!
it's fantastic. The colours are fantastic. It's amazing the way they can arrange things spontaneously and produce an amazing composition. It's beautiful.
Hi! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Now go and make something!

I'm going on a cruise to Alaska on July 29th till August 8th. I checked the temperature in Alaska online but I'm not sure if it will be around 7 to 23 degrees? I am confused. I'm probably going to see the ice berg like my dad said. So... What should I bring with me? I'm making a stop to Vancouver so I would need some summer clothes. Should bring sweaters too? I don't know if it will be cold in Alaska.
Firist of all- I hate you! I've always wanted to do that cruise. Which cities are you stopping in? Weather.com has a tool where you can see the weather for each day of your trip in different cities.
There are tons of people in Seattle that have done this cruise. It's fabulous so I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Every single one of them wished they had brought warmer clothes so make sure you bring clothes for cold weather. Apparently, it's always colder then you'd expect. Casual is good, smart casual if you get off the boat. How does that sound?
Hi, I'm taking an Alaskan cruise this summer, too! I'm going the week before you. While I wanted to be dressed fabulous everyday, all but two days of my trip I'm going to be doing an adventure style excursion (ie: cycling in the mountains, hiking a glacier, kayaking, and so on). So for those days, I'm wearing essentially gear. I found a cute jacket that is really fitted but will work for the cycling and kayaking:
I also like this one:
I have heard from friends who live near Skagway (one of our port cities) that the temps can range anywhere from the mid 50s to mid 70s that time of year. I'm planning on dressing in layers, both on the ship and at ports.
I really like places like http://www.athleta.com and REI for comfortable, appropriate knits that can be layered. There are some cute skirts and dresses, too.
For outerwear, I am planning on taking something like http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....hoppingbag
For all of my excursions, outwear is going to be provided in the event that temps drop unexpectedly.
But for on the ship, I plan on wearing pants with rain appropriate shoes just in case, knit tops, and a denim jacket. I will have all of my Seattle summer clothes with me as well, so I can pull from those if needed.
Good luck!
Wow, are you ever lucky! That cruise sounds amazing. I don't have any first-hand experience in this kind of holiday, but last summer my parents went on cruise through Newfoundland and Labrador, which I imagine would be similar in weather? They had such a good time that next month they're going on another one with the same company, this time through the Northwest Passage. (I am so jealous of them- I have been obsessed with the NP since I was little.)
From what they told me about their experiences, and from my own boating past, I definitely agree with Angie- bring warmer clothing than you think necessary! No matter what the temperature on land, it will be cooler on the water, and you'll have the spray and wind to deal with, too.
One thing you must have is a lightweight, wind- and water-resistant jacket. Similar to the first and last ones that sarbear posted. It might be gear and not that fashionable, but you won't regret it.
On the ship, I'd stick to jeans and layers. A skirt or two for when you're on land makes sense, too. I'd also recommend camis for extra warmth, and a lightweight wool sweater or two.
Thanks guys! =D
Chewyspaghetti: I don't know where I'll be stopping yet. I have to ask my dad for the itinery. I'll be checking the website out. Thanks! =D
Angie: That sounds fabulous! I will keep that in mind when I pack!
Sarbear112: Thanks! I don't know how my itinery will be like. What cruise are you taking by the way? I think I am taking the Princess Cruise one.
Ele: I'll make sure I'll bring clothes that are good enought for the temperature change. Thanks! xD
Sarah & GoXtina - I wanted to see what progress you've made on your cruise wardrobes as I just found out we are going on an Adventure style cruise next Saturday. Lots of hiking and kayaking. So far I have found this jacket:
(cropped jacket - 3rd row on the left - in black)
and a pair of pants - the "Adventurer" rip stop pants in black.
I'm also bringing a 'gear' fleece and I think a bunch of tees and sweaters.
I'm planning on bringing jeans too, but I'm really stumped on what to bring to wear in the evenings. It's a very casual cruise but I thought I should bring a pair of pants or maybe even a skirt?
What have you two come up with?
We are cruising via Norwegian. All but two of our seven day trip we are at ports. My husband and I chose adventure excursions that will require gear and outdoor fitness apparel.
I plan on wearing a knit dress, sandals, and a denim jacket when we fly to Seattle. I will also carry my big warm North Face coat since it would probably fill up my suitcase entirely. We are boarding the ship the same day we fly up. My luggage space will be tight since I have to bring hiking boots and training type shoes. My plan is to pack:
Clothing appropriate for my excursions (I found pants like http://www.rei.com/product/761924 to be the best, and I will be wearing layers of knit camis, track style jackets, and warm coats)
Bathing suit (they have heated pools!)
One outfit appropriate for dinner if we choose to go to a nicer restaurant (I probably won't, but I don't want to limit myself in case we end up wanting to - this will probably be another knit type dress with sandals...if I want to go out on deck that evening, I'll have to bring a jacket to dinner or change first)
Small backpack or cross body bag, and wristlet (you have to carry your passport, room/charge card, etc with you everywhere)
I hope this helps. What style of cruise are you going on julijuli? What line? Ports?
We're stopping in Ketchican (going to a Lumberjack show), Juneau (I'm hiking, my husband is taking a helicopter to a glacier hike), Skagway (Train ride up the pass, and cycle down 15 miles), and Prince Rupert (Canada where we'll kayak for a few hours) and obviously Seattle. I'm very excited!
A few lines I've been looking at for clothing that's appropriate but not to gear-ish is Prana, REI, Zella, and The North Face. And like I mentioned above, I have seen some nice things at Athleta.com as well. A lot of these brands even have knit skirts and dresses that are super cute.
Why not wear something like the Girl on the Go dress from EB
with a light cardi or white denim jacket and sandals for dinner?
Sarah - I'm going on a VERY casual cruise - it's with American Safari Cruises - actually a yacht not a cruise ship. We start in Juneau and are doing the inside passage. I'm not even sure I need a dress! But - it's really good to hear about what you are taking and helps me to plan it out. I think what I'll do is take my puffy vest as a "coat alternative" and if it's super cold I can layer it with the fleece.
Forgot to say - when are you going to be in Seattle? We should have a YLF get together!
julijuli, Unfortunately I arrive in Seattle and go straight to the ship. Then we fly out the day the ship gets back. I might have about 2 hours free in Seattle between disembarking and checking in at the airport, but I won't have transportation or anything. I reallyreally want to meet everyone. My family lives there, so I visit often. Plus, we hope to move up there in the not so distant future.
I think layers is the key. That's my plan for sure.

You want to break down your book in mutiple documents, perhaps one per
paragraph or so?
I hope this helps. karl syedfa skrev: Dear Fellow Java/Lucene developers: I am writing an application where a user is able to search for keywords from within a single book. When the user conducts a search, he/she should receive a set of results that show the sentence/phrase within the book where the keyword is found. Unfortunately, all of the examples that I have for searching using Lucene discuss the concept of searching multiple documents, instead of within a single document. I have written an application that creates an index of this book, but I now want to search it. In the result set, I would like the keyword(s) to be highlighted using Lucene's HighLighter feature. Once the user clicks on the hit from the result set list that they are looking for, the application should take them directly within to that section of the book where that keyword is found. The book that I have indexed is in xml format. My question is, how would I write an application that allows me to search a single document, and present a set of results to the user that list portions of text from the book that contains the user's keyword, instead of presenting a list of document titles where that keyword is found?

Dictionary of Literary Biography on William Morris
William Morris was a man of abundant energy and many talents which he devoted to art, literature, and social justice. His life was one of constant creativity as designer, craftsman, writer, translator, lecturer, calligrapher, merchant, medievalist, socialist, typographer, printer, environmentalist, and pioneer in architectural preservation. His contributions to these fields were significant and frequently influential. In all of his endeavors Morris showed his devotion to beauty in nature and in the works of mankind and to the creation of a society in which mastery had given way to fellowship. He hated ugliness, the economic exploitation of human beings and of the environment, and the poor quality often associated with profitable mass production. He was best known in his day as the author of the long narrative poems in The Earthly Paradise (1868-1870), as the designer of attractive wallpapers and fabrics which were sold from his shop in London...

Those cut aways from borders have been taking over the shoe box! My preference is to cut the borders length wise, but when I don't have enough, I cut the width of the fabric and piece them together diagonnally. For whatever reason, I like the 6 1/2" width. When I was sewing together the 10" squares for the back of the "Violet" Challenge (below on the right), I sewed together lots of triangles in between and threw some of them up on the wall.
Now, back to quilting tops!

Scraps are my favorite because you can make such cool blocks with unexpected things in them like the voilet! Looks great. My problem is I hate to throw out the itty bitty pieces but there comes a point when they need to go. I usually feel a little sad about it.

Now that I have started uploading lessons for the day, the second one seems a lot easier to submit. Have you ever wondered "how to draw bubbles"? Well I have, and because of that I wanted to submit a tutorial that will show you "how to draw a bubble step by step". Yes your right, a bubble is nothing more than a perfectly round circle that is created from a mild soapy substance. Bubbles are probably one of the most inexpensive toys that you can surprise a kid with at almost any age. Bubbles are fun to create from the ages of two to sixty two. I myself still love bubbles, which is why I wanted to draw a bubble that represents on how fun and exciting bubbles can be. Even if you are in a bad mood, blowing bubbles almost instantly takes you out of your maddened stupor. I think you will find that drawing a circle is going to be one of the most delightful things you did all day today. Learning "how to draw a bubble step by step", is fun, cute, and bright. When you are done drawing the one bubble, you can repeat the steps to draw multiple shaped ones and then you would have just taught yourself how to draw bubbles. Anyways, peace out people, and have fun. I will be back a bit later with more lessons to come.

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - June 11, 2009) -
UCSD Medical Center's Awarepoint deployment includes a multiplicity of RTLS tag (http://www.awarepoint.com/Tags.html) types to support a variety of business applications at the hospitals. Awarepoint tags broadcast low-power radio messages which allow users to quickly locate specific equipment or people and provide information about their movement and status throughout the enterprise. Each tag features unique functionality and a specific form factor to support an array of applications:
1. Standard T2A RTLS Asset Tag
Each tag features a unique indicator switch. When triggered, the system sends an alert which can be configured for specific use cases (e.g., "I'm ready to be used again," or "I need maintenance").
2. Sterilizable T2S RTLS Asset Tag
The T2S Tag is the industry's first sterilizable RTLS active RFID asset management tag and is clinically tested for product-specific cleaning, sterilization and disinfection. Without removing it from equipment, the T2S Tag endures standard autoclave cycles at temperatures up to 135°C, as well as immersion in the most common liquid sterilization methods.
3. Temperature Monitoring T2T RTLS Asset Tag
The T2T incorporates reporting and alerting capabilities including monitoring of temperatures ranging from -28°C to +90°C +/-1°C and automatic notification alerts if temperature is above or below preset thresholds for a user-specified amount of time.
The Moores UCSD Cancer Center is using RTLS for the same standard asset management challenges faced at UCSD Medical Centers' Thornton and Hillcrest facilities, including:
1. Reducing equipment inventory requirements
2. Lowering equipment rental costs
3. Reducing staff time spent searching for equipment
4. Minimizing equipment theft and loss
Because one of the most challenging and expensive equipment categories to manage is surgical instrumentation trays, availability of Awarepoint's T2S sterilizable tag was one of the primary RTLS drivers for the Moores UCSD Cancer Center installation. On average, UCSD Medical Center processes 4,000 - 5,000 instrumentation trays every month, many of which are shared between three campuses. Identifying the location and status of these trays maximizes their usage and lowers the need for additional inventory, while at the same time reducing surgical case delays, and worse, cancellations -- which can cost the hospital thousands in surgical team idle time, decrease operating room utilization and impact the efficiency of patient care.
As with most facilities, careful budget management at UCSD Medical Center is essential. "We could not afford to continually stock all 3 campuses with duplicates of each and every one of the assets they may need -- particularly costly items such as medical instrumentation tray sets," said Tom Hamelin, director of perioperative services at UCSD Medical Center. Shared inventory allows UCSD Medical Center the opportunity to see more surgical cases and utilize each of their operating rooms to its fullest capacity. "This would pose an inventory management nightmare if I didn't have true enterprise-awareness across all buildings," continued Hamelin.
With Awarepoint, ZigBee (www.zigbee.org) sensors are deployed in standard electrical outlets to cover the entire enterprise. Using underlying ZigBee technology and patented computational algorithms, Awarepoint provides true enterprise-wide awareness -- not only room-level, but persistent accuracy across the entire hospital footprint. Alternative RTLS systems, like infrared (IR) or ultrasound, require signal containment (within four walls) to effectively locate transmitting tags. The accuracy of these systems is highly dependent on number and placement of receivers and line of sight between the tag and the receiver.
"With IR or ultrasound systems, customers would need to deploy a dense and expansive infrastructure to truly cover an entire enterprise," said Matt Perkins, Awarepoint's chief technology officer. "In addition, with these alternative technologies, signals can be blocked by normal hospital processes. Equipment in areas like closets, drawers, case carts, wrapped assets, etc. will be 'hidden.' This is particularly critical in open areas like the Sterile Processing Department (SPD), and for assets like instrumentation trays that are housed in case carts, wrapped trays or Tyvek® Peel Pouches."
The Awarepoint Real-time Location System was selected because it offers UCSD Medical Center persistent room-level location accuracy on an enterprise-wide basis while providing a 100% wireless, non-disruptive installation. Awarepoint's dedicated, but interoperable, 802.15.4 ZigBee network maintains separation from Wi-Fi and eliminates interference and security concerns that can adversely affect mission-critical applications running on the hospital's Wi-Fi infrastructure.
"Awarepoint's RF-based technologies not only provide room-level accuracy, they also guarantee enterprise-wide awareness without interference or security risks," added Perkins. "Awarepoint's business model provides the hospital a fully managed service that allows easy scalability on a per asset per month basis."

ATiH Top Infant Memorials, submitted by Bowie. It is not a secret of the ages that I am having a large son who I am very proud of his strengths and brawn and somewhat brain. He is a good boy and he is built like a very powerful ox and I know one day he will go and do whatever it is he is wanting. Some people have problem with sons though and they are keeling over from an untimed demise. Some mother is even giving birth to a baby who is already in the graves! This is so sad, which is why it is bright spot on dark horizon to see a site like ATIH Top Infant Memories sites.
You can vote to the tops of the list the memorials of the dead baby you think is the number one. It is like single elimination Bad Brawl in Tijuana but instead of living wrestling-types you have the dead baby-types competing for number one spot. It is warming my hearts! Even high-stakes world of dead baby top sites there is much rudos and the top site referee is making to say a very sad state of affairs in dead baby industry.
NOTE: Please do not vote for your site more than once per 24 hour period. Cheating takes away the fun and is unfair to other members who are being honest.
There is nothing that is being sacred! If you are not respecting the rules of dead baby competition what hope is there for the laws of man kinds?!? If you vote on one of the top dead baby sites I am asking from my heart of the hearts to not be voting more than once in 24 hour period! It is the law of the land!
These sponges will make your hair WHITE and your teeth CURLY.
If you get these jokes, you KNOW you're smart!

Peru Credit Bank Implements Cisco Borderless Network Architecture
Aim Is to Offer Constant and Reliable System Availability
June 23, 2011LIMA, Peru, June 23, 2011 – Peru Credit Bank (BCP) has chosen the Cisco®Borderless Network Architecture to improve customer service, increase efficiency and reduce costs. The solution has allowed this financial group to move its workforce among branches without impacting workflows or losing contact with customers, as well as keeping the bank system active at all times. Since the end of 2010, the BCP has been working on upgrading its data centers, which involves a new design for the entire banking network.
The main purpose of the BCP is to offer high system availability and operating stability, which is translated into reliable service to customers. To achieve this goal, the BCP has decided to upgrade its network. "With a feasible network we will be able to improve high availability and reduce down times, which will help support a significant growth over the next few years," said José Ichikawa, telecommunications director, Peru Credit Bank.
"At the bank, in the technology field, we have more than projects; we have a lifestyle, a continuous improvement cycle. What we look for in Cisco over the short and medium term is to optimize our practices and processes, and in the long term, to be able to offer a more consistent and robust network" Ichikawa said.
Multiple factors, including unified communications, Internet connectivity, pervasive network security and centralized information administration all help to ensure business continuity. Since its implementation about three years ago, the Cisco Borderless Network Architecture has allowed the BCP to reassign its workforce without losing communication with customers or affecting its operation.
Flexibility is not the only benefit that the BCP has obtained thanks to Cisco solutions. Ichikawa explains that Cisco Borderless Networks has also given to BCP the ability to speed processes and generate significant cost reductions, as communications are no longer through public networks but through IP. "The bank has seen cost reductions not only in terms of money but in terms of more production capacity," Ichikawa noted.
Preparing for the Future
With the recent introduction in the country of the latest version of the Cisco Borderless Networks solution, organizations will be able to respond more easily to the new demands of the market. "Studies estimate that in 2015 companies will generate 50 percent of sales through mobile devices and social networks, that most employees will not need an office to be efficient and productive, and that video will constitute 91 percent of the global traffic of networks. All of these give us hints of what the new business scenarios will be like," said Luis Garzón,Borderless Networks Sales Business Development, Cisco CANSAC.
"Our goal is to be a dynamic banking entity in all our processes. Our customers and employees need to access live data from multiple locations and devices. The Cisco Borderless Networks Architecture, which incorporates advanced wireless and security solutions, remote connectivity and dynamic video and voice services, is an essential solution to help us achieve our results," concluded Ichikawa.

Search local bars using our interactive Chicago neighborhood map
Fizz Bar & Grill 3220 N. Lincoln Ave. (3200N, 1600W) Chicago, IL 60657 (773) 348-6000
Fizz joins nearby Four Moon Tavern and Riverview Tavern as a great example of a post-Lincoln park bar that is cool enough to transcend "trendy," while remaining unpretentious. Fizz fits in very well within this Lincoln corridor of reinvigoration.
Located just north of the marvel-of-metal Technicolor Kitchen, Fizz has held its own since 1998 by attracting passersby with its front windows that open out in the summer, tasteful blue paint, bright red doors with nautical-like windows, glass blocks, and rusted iron metalworking on the roof. Well, maybe not the ironworks. The front windows of Fizz recently replaced the curved glass front windows that were a holdover from the former occupant's menswear business. Step inside this polished domain and you will find much exposed brick, very high ceilings, local artwork on the walls, stuffed swordfish above the bar, and giant Grolsch bottle behind the bar. The only detractor from the décor is the unfinished cement floors.
Fizz boasts a large kitchen behind two more bright red doors, serving up inventive, above average southern and southwestern-influenced pub grub like the buffalo chicken sandwich, grilled tuna steak, and pulled pork sandwich. They also serve Sunday brunch. The small wooden cocktail tables across the bar are hard to eat at, so I recommend grabbing one of the low-rider tables in the back of the room. Thirsty? Fizz has 12 beers on tap with twice as many available in bottles, and several wines are also available. With a large group? Grab a table up front at the windows and observe the interesting Lincoln / Ashland / Belmont foot traffic. Or, have a gander at the people without lives working out at 1:00 a.m. in the 24-hour Powerhouse gym across the street. Bands have been increasingly present at Fizz, at no cover charge mind you. I have seen a variety of small two and three-guy bands. One happened to be "one half" of the group Frisbee. I thought the name "Boomerang" would have been more appropriate. The bands don't play too loud, so that you can enjoy your food or a conversation amongst friends. On one particular evening, I remember that the craic was mighty. Talk turned to puking on buses, defecating in one's pants, peeing in kitty litter boxes (sense a theme here?), how my friend once played poker with John Cusack and Jeremy Piven at the age of 10 in his pajamas in Evanston, and the little known fact that you can get a DUI on a riding lawn mower (this actually happened one time in Arcola, downstate Illinois). All of this while a girl we dubbed "Lesbiana" made eyes at my date. You can't beat that for entertainment!
If that's not enough for you, check out the retro dance music or live bands in "The Loft." The Loft is a wide-open, hardwood-floored space with glass blocks comprising the front wall. Sorry, pool sharks they have taken out the pool tables. Private parties can pack up to 250 drunkards in this area (or 125 "seated").
Fizz also hosts Sneaky Tiki Night every Wednesday night. One can bask in the glory of plastic tiki heads, 32-ounce flaming rum cocktails, Mojitos (a Hemingway favorite, whatever that means), Zombies, Banana Hammocks, and pinã coladas served in hallowed-out pineapples. My advice: don't get into a staring contest with one of the tiki heads no matter how much it seems like a good idea at the time. While tiki heads proliferate and the bartenders wear their festive Hawaiian shirts and leis, there is not as much tiki as I would like. If I had my way there would be more wood, idols, leis (for the patrons), Hawaiian music, and plenty of poi. With the recent departure of Hyde Park's House of Tiki, true-tiki fans are relegated to Tong's Tiki Hut in the suburbs for full-on tiki.
While not specifically a sports bar, Fizz will put on the big games in silent mode, even on their big screen if sufficiently coaxed. In summer, you'll find a rather large beer garden full of low-slung wooden tables and chairs, the latter of which are rather comfortable with arms. This area in the lot next door was once a building, but it was knocked down for your beer gardening pleasure, thank you very much! If you're lucky, you can snag a paded seat up front by the rahter pleasant fountain. This beats the sidewalk cafe they used to have in front of Fizz, where patrons could enjoy the exhaust from the Lincoln Avenue #33 bus and view the rather unscenic empty lot and adult bookstore across the street (both have since been replaced), while being wedged amongst parking meters.
Fizz is a great upscale neighborhood place for good food and tiki. For details on their daily specials or further information, check out Fizz's website. Aloha.

winter ice storm -- midwest
If it's a sign of the economy in your neck of the woods, things look bleak. (would love to know the story behind the muddy bottles)
Tess -- Well, I think you could be "right on." The economy is bleak in these parts!! I did find your comment humorous though -- thanks -- barbara
Maybe their photos are identical to yours? ;-)Neat!Elora
Elora -- I guess I don't understand? barbara
Interesting that these items were in the store window. They do look just "found".
It was a bit obscure! Sorry. What I meant was that whoever it was that put those bottles in the window, and the old shoe, was possible setting them up to photograph them...and thus, they and you have identical images! hope that makes sense!E.
That boot needs a bright red geranimum planted in the top. I like the old bottles. Was Dunn's a local brand?
Elora -- Ahhh -- I get it now. thanks for un-confusing me and thanks for the comment too -- barbara
Sheri -- Oh the red geranium would be a bright spot in a rather drab window. I really have never heard of Dunn's. Maybe a local brand? I've only lived in KY a little over three years so I am not familiar with old local brands. -- barbara
Farmchick -- I'm sure there is an owner of this building even though it is vacant. Perhaps s/he found the objects in the nooks and crannies of the place and thought people passing by would be interested. But no explanation of them was placed in the window. -- barbara
Enjoyed your words today... and that old boot. Wonderful!
The items look to me like they've been in a flood. That caked-on mud...I've seen it before, sadly. Why they are on display is certainly a mystery--maybe a practical joke?
Granny Sue -- I think you hit the nail of the head. This small town experienced flooding last fall. Maybe this is what the floods churned up and the storefront owner set these items in the window to show that the nearby river can dig up some really old stuff. Thanks -- barbara

'Softly, silently the waters crept up, inch by inch giving ample time for the removal of goods and other precautionary measures and then gradually receded. There was no raging waters, no sweeping destructive currents. Nothing but a gradual submersion' - Oregon Historical Society file 1532.4
It's been an interesting process because of the shift in thinking about the construction of an image. Perhaps more formal, basic concerns- line, composition, tone come to the surface and the 'communication' aspect, that is rightly important in my illustration work, is less director clear within these pieces.
This is especially true with the larger pieces. Often starting with an idea in how to combine certain pictorial elements. For example, the following image first contained a whale's tail hanging by a noose from an iron American streetlamp from the early 1900s. This seemed like a simple way to comment on some of my references, the hunting of whales for oil to fuel the lamps and later the use of these street lamps for lynching but visually became too obvious, clunky, a punch line. All the elements, references remain simmering below the surface
Rightly or wrongly, the viewer engages with the work differently when its in a gallery space rather then pages of a magazine, asks more questions of an the work perhaps? Im not sure but a phrase I heard and liked during the exhibition in Sweden, which didn't really have a direct translation but roughly meant 'don't write it on my nose', I guess saying 'don't spell it out for me, I can decide.'

Patrick Vieira has urged Mario Balotelli's army of critics to cut him some slack.
Balotelli has still not been a Manchester City player for 12 months but his list of misdemeanours already extends further than most players manage in an entire career.
The Italian striker was lambasted by his own manager, Roberto Mancini, for showboating during a pre-season game in Los Angeles last month and Gary Neville branded his efforts during Sunday's Community Shield "an embarrassment".
Few would argue Balotelli has not made mistakes.
However, Vieira believes it is worth remembering the former Inter Milan star doesn't celebrate his 21st birthday until tomorrow.
And he is convinced it won't be long before Balotelli is channelling his energies into a wholly positive contribution.
"People forget how young Mario really is," said the former City midfielder, who retired this summer to take up an ambassadorial role with the club.
"He is a really young boy. He will make mistakes. I made a few in my career.
"Hopefully this year he will learn from them.
"Mario is a really talented footballer and I hope he can show everybody how good he is."
Balotelli might have more competition for first-team places soon too.
Although City are maintaining a discreet silence over their interest in Samir Nasri, discussions behind the scenes are believed to be ongoing and it would be a major surprise if the France midfielder did not arrive at the Etihad Stadium before September 1.
France coach Laurent Blanc said before his country's midweek international with Chile that Nasri would benefit from having his future resolved and a lacklustre performance in Montpellier before he was substituted merely strengthened that belief.
Nasri would become Mancini's fifth summer signing. The fourth, Romanian keeper Costel Pantilimon had his work permit granted today but the third and most expensive, £38million record signing Sergio Aguero, is yet to play for his new club after spending all Sunday's Wembley defeat on the bench.
Still, Vieira is certain Aguero can have a major impact for the Blues this season.
"He has been really good so far," said Vieira.
"It was a shame that he could not play in the Community Shield but he is a big asset.
"His pedigree is really good and he can bring a lot to the football club."
Mancini still has issues to resolve, not least what to do with Carlos Tevez, who has returned to training but still hopes to leave before the transfer window closes.
It is anticipated Tevez will feature in Monday night's opener with Swansea, although under the circumstances, it is difficult to see how he can be retained as captain.
Still, Vieira does not believe that uncertainty, or the alarming manner of City losing a two-goal lead to Manchester United last weekend, should detract from a season of promise.
"We can win the title," he said.
"We have improved since last year. Winning the FA Cup and finishing third has given us the belief.
"We believe we can challenge Chelsea, Manchester United and the rest of the teams to lift the championship."

Summit Picks Up 'I, Alex Cross' For Distribution
Posted on Friday, March 25th, 2011 by Germain Lussier
Author James Patterson releases a new novel almost every other week. At least, that's what it feels like. Murder mystery after murder mystery get turned out and devoured by legions of fans. In those novels, his most famous character is Alex Cross, a Washington D.C. detective and psychologist who was famously played by Morgan Freeman in two films: Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. Producers recently decided to reboot the Cross franchise, casting Tyler Perry as the lead in I, Alex Cross, which will also star Matthew Fox and Ed Burns. After a few months of negotiations the project, which will be directed by Rob Cohen, has just been picked up for distribution by Summit Entertainment. Read more after the break.
According to the Summit press release, I, Alex Cross will be directed by Rob Cohen (XXX, The Fast and the Furious) from a script by Patterson and Kerry Williamson, which was revised by Marc Moss. QED, which put together District 9 and others, had been shopping the project around town.
I, Alex Cross is the 16th Cross book written by Patterson and is sometimes considered a sort of reinvention of the series. Here's the Publisher's Weekly plot description/review from Amazon:
Bestseller Patterson offers nothing new on a theme he himself has already done to death in his 16th novel featuring detective Alex Cross (after Cross Country), in which Cross takes on yet another barbaric serial killer, this one known as Zeus. Word that an estranged 24-year-old niece, Caroline Cross, has been murdered disturbs Cross's birthday party. To make that horror even worse, the killer fed Caroline's body through a wood chipper. Cross soon discovers that Caroline supported herself as a high-price escort for Washington, D.C.'s elite, and that other women who served similar clients have turned up missing. Cross's investigation soon attracts the attention of the feds, and he concludes that Zeus is better connected than most of the psychopaths he's brought to justice. A subplot centering on a health threat to another member of Cross's family adds padding. Readers expecting the killer to be identified through insightful profiling will be disappointed.
Fox is playing the villain and Burns is playing Cross's partner.
Paramount released the last two films, with Kiss the Girls making $60 million and Along Came a Spider making $74 million, and were interested in this film but lost out to Summit.
Are you a fan of Patterson's work and this character? How do you think Summit will do with this property?

Silver Spring's 1200 Blair Mill Project Has a New Name – The Argent
As mentioned just a few short weeks ago, Perseus Realty, LLC was observed breaking ground on the fence-enclosed, small 0.77-acre triangular lot located at 1200 Blair Mill Road in Silver Spring (where Blair Mill, Newell Street, and East-West Highway meet - previously home to a car detailer shop) in preparation of the developer's $37 million residential development (pictured, but without the Mica condo looming behind it). Word now comes that this address now has a name: The Argent. When completed in mid-2008, The Argent will be a nine-story building featuring 96 condominium units (including 12 moderately priced dwelling units (MPDUs)) and 46 below-grade parking spaces. Perseus is also expected to offer a roof top deck and a 4,200-square-foot public park. The residences will include efficiencies, one, and two bedroom units starting in the $400,000s. The Argent will be designed by architectural firm JSA Inc., employing art deco touches and nine-foot ceilings. JSA will also work with Baltimore-based landscape architecture firm Mahan Rykiel Associates to design the public park in front of the building, with the focal point being a commissioned sculpture by local artist Mary Ann E. Mears.

Fragrance Review For Bird Of Paradise Demeter Fragrance
Notes: Strelitzia
This is an exotic fragrance of bird of paradise or strelitzia which in truth is very hard to describe as a scent and even harder to recreate as a synthetic note in perfume. When I first closed my eyes to smell this and let my imagination take flight, it brought me to my childhood. I swear I have smelled this scent before. The bird of paradise flower is commonly grown in homes usually in front lawns or backyards. I remember smelling this at the home of a friend in Massachusetts. I never bothered to ask what the flower was called but later on when studying flowers I rediscovered it. This smells green-and-yellow. It's herbal but not terribly aromatic nor anything like patchouli. If it had to be compared to some other herb it's more like bay leaves. This is a green plant smell, and a garden smell. It has a yellow floral type of scent as well a bit like ylang-ylang. It has a fruity banana scent as well. It's more herbal/spicy than it is sweet and floral. It can also be classified as Oriental. It's such a gorgeous fragrance and I love to spray it in my house. I do agree with the other reviewer that compared it to Estee Lauder Aliage however I find that this has a definite yellow floral and banana scent. In this way it's more tropical than Aliage which is rustic/woodsy/forest scent. This is not a forest. This is a tropical jungle type of smell. It smells of places I've been to like Brazil, like the Amazon rainforest. It's also smelling of Africa, namely Central Africa and East Africa. It smells of the wildflowers that grow in mountainous regions in the continent. What a strangely beautiful scent.
A complex scent that I am still trying to analyze. A burst of green opening, then it mellows to floral, spicy...and....I am still trying to work it out. I do love it: my only strong complaint is the longevity: it is gone before I can fully grasp it....Unusual,good buy for the price though.
This is a departure from typical Demeter scents, as it is not a singular smell and it is also quite lasting on my skin. Upon first spray it took me back to a nostalgic fragrance, but I can not completely remember. I am going off decades of memory, BUT I am pretty sure this is very close to Estee Lauder's Alliage/Aliage and maybe even Paco Rabanne Calandre.
A VERY green scent, which I feel would be appropriate for men or women. In the chypre or herbal category, for sure, and much more grassy than tropical, as stated above. Overall, I really like it, but it is quite different from the modern scents of today.
From the Demeter website:
The bird-of-paradise flower is actually a large tropical herb (Strelitzia reginae) of the family Musaceae (banana family), native to South Africa, with it's large blossoms resembling an exotic bird.
Our Bird of Paradise captures perfectly the warm, fresh and invigorating green scent of the living flower in the wilds of the Hawaiian Islands; a scent that cannot be adequately described, but must be experienced.
It's really stange. I regreted to buy it!

In honor of the Great Backyard Bird Count that begins today, I am devoting this week's Friday picture post to feeder birds. Since I live on the third floor of an apartment, I do not have a true backyard. But I do have a roof right outside my window where birds sometimes congregate, especially when I throw out some sunflower seeds.
Following the weekend snowstorm, I threw out some seeds on the roof to see what would come. As usual, I got a lot of house sparrows.
Here is one taking off.
A little while later, they were joined - and then pushed out - by a small group of European starlings.
Some more birds and other creatures at the Friday Ark.
And don't forget to send me posts for next week's Carnival of the Vanities. You can submit them here or here, or email them to me directly at the address in the left sidebar.
Also, remember that this weekend is the Great Backyard Bird Count.
