This is the Original Floyd Rose® brand double locking tremolo famous for deep diving bends and tuning stability! The strings are locked at the bridge and at the nut allowing aggressive tremolo use with the confidence you'll come back in tune. Micro-tuners on the tremolo make for easy fine tuning adjustments. It features hardened steel construction throughout, a removable tremolo arm and original saddles for plain-end string anchoring. This is the preferred modern tremolo for many premium guitar manufacturers and famous artists.
Note: There are many bridges made under Floyd Rose patents. Unfortunately, their physical dimensions are not uniform. On our bodies, we only offer routing for the Original Floyd Rose tremolo and for the Schaller Floyd Rose tremolo, both of which we sell. If you are buying a new Warmoth body and are either buying a bridge on the same order or can provide us with the studs and inserts, we can install the inserts in the body for just +$10. (Must be the correct size for our mounting holes).
For 1-3/4" Nut width

Drilled for .390" (9.91 mm) diameter insert. Angled neck pocket recommended.
NOTE: Rout not available on Tele® Deluxe bodies. Studs interfere with pickguard.
Drilled for .390" (9.91 mm) diameter insert.
The very best locking trem I've used...I've had 5 in 20 years, I still possess 2 of em, one of which is 18 years old and still going strong!
I have used a Floyd on my main guitars since 1985, and I have never had tuning issues - even with extreme use. I know some players complain of the bridges tone, but I disagree. I've had many compliments on my tone, and 90% of the time, I've had a Floyd under my picking hand. Get one, and enjoy the ability to play in tune regardless of how abusive your whammy use is :-).

The Cool Kids rap about what they know. Simple as. Those things: trainers, bikes, their neighbourhood, the little bits of bling they're presently hot on, Street Fighter and SEGA, ill-fitting pants, their other songs, themselves.
It's this no-baggage approach to lyricism – don't stretch the truth, just let it roll clean – that has one instantly endeared to Chicago duo Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks and their laidback rhymes about bouncing their BMXs down the street and checking their pockets for chump-change at the corner shop. Sure there's a degree of braggadocio to proceedings – the little bit of gold they seem so keen on decorating just about everything_ with, even chicken (ish – listen to opener 'What Up Man' for an explanation), is something they're ever so chuffed about – but no more than, say, the Beasties when they first emerged, egos bigger than their sales and potty-mouths spitting ill communication.
Comparisons to the New York veterans seem welcomed by this youthful pair, though, as they introduce themselves playfully on 'One Two' as "the new black version of The Beastie Boys" prior to referencing Star Wars in relation to their recently acquired sneakers of note. Everything they see enough of to deem worthy of writing about is spied through the filter of pop culture, slow-drawl emceeing steady and sluggish to let the words sink in without the need to press rewind – school yard-style phrases of repetition, numerical countdowns and broad pop hooks aid the connectivity, the accessibility. '88_' lifts the record's strolling pace somewhat but rocks its crunchy guitar samples in pure '80s style, to the extent where you're certain Joe Perry's about to cut loose. "Like I'm bringin' '88 back,"_ goes the chorus, but one can dip deeper into the past still: had the track been one of Def Jam's first it'd have perhaps dated better than LL's 'I Need A Beat'.
At their most contemporary-sounding – 'What It Is' being the most immediate selection – The Cool Kids come on like Pharrell-produced protégés given a leash loose enough to leaf through their archive LPs for additional inspiration; when they're tapping veins assumed dry since Paul's Boutique and 3 Feet High And Rising they're pitch-perfect impersonators of an era many a hip-hopper today will only have read about. Which leaves them in an odd position: they earn personal respect for displaying their own respect for forefathers before them… but critically speaking? Critics schmitics: sometimes great fun in music sings louder than forward-thinking compositional skills, and The Bake Sale is a lot of fun.
"How gangsta is that? Not gangsta at all!" Their own words, and they sound refreshingly honest at a time when so very many successful rap artists _still play up to the same old post-Death Row bullets 'n' bitches clichés, of which there are none here. The Cool Kids' revivalist format might not remain flavour of the month long enough for their debut LP proper, When Fish Ride Bicycles, to have much of a commercial impact when it's released later this year, but this taster ten-tracker of older material certainly leaves a pleasant aftertaste. Investigate if it's a trip down memory lane you're after, albeit one where you'll be made to dress in thoroughly modern fashions.

Jules Verne reaches 'parking' orbit
Jules Verne ATV has today reached a parking position 2000 km ahead of the International Space Station. Europe's ISS re-supply spacecraft will wait at this holding point for the completion of the STS-123 Space Shuttle mission before proceeding with the first of two rendezvous demonstration days.
Two boosts late last night took the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) to its parking orbit at the same orbital altitude as the International Space Station (ISS). In the course of this manoeuvre ATV passed just 30 km underneath the Space Station.
Three smaller boosts in the course of the morning were used to adjust the spacecraft's orbit, with Jules Verne ATV finally arriving at the parking position shortly before 13:00 CET (12:00 UT) today.
ATV's second propulsion chain was used to execute today's manoeuvres and, according to Alberto Novelli, ESA's Mission Director at the ATV Control Centre in Toulouse, France, it performed perfectly. "In doing the boosts we have tested all the pressure regulators and that worked perfectly fine. So as of today we have the proof that the propulsion system as a whole, including all the redundancies, is working fine," said Novelli.
According to the mission schedule, ESA has also submitted an official report to the ISS partners. The report gathers together all data on the performance of Jules Verne ATV during the phasing stage of the mission since the launch from Kourou, French Guiana, ten days ago.
"We will discuss the data in a meeting with the partners on 25 March. In principle that will give us the go-ahead to continue with the first rendezvous demonstration day," explained Novelli. "As of today, this report is green and a 'go' from our side on all the criteria."
Jules Verne ATV will remain in the parking orbit until 27 March. The spacecraft will then be taken to a position ready to perform the two rendezvous demonstration days set for 29 and 31 March.
Jules Verne ATV is scheduled to dock with the International Space Station on 3 April.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is set to remove a Cold War obstacle to trade with Russia that has stymied American exporters seeking to take advantage of Russia's newly liberalized trade practices.
Russia's entry into the World Trade Organization on Aug. 22 requires it to lower tariffs and take other market-opening measures. But unless Congress acts to eliminate a 1974 measure linking trade to the emigration of Soviet Jews and other minorities, U.S. businesses will be shut off from the benefits available to the WTO's other 155 members.
Establishing permanent normal trade relations with Russia has been a top trade priority for both the business community and the administration this year, but the House Republican leadership, sensitive to the overall poor relations between Washington and Moscow, held off on bringing up the bill before the election.
Senate Democratic leaders have said they would consider the trade bill promptly after the House acts.
To assuage lawmakers from both parties critical of Russia's human rights record, the trade bill has been combined with legislation that would impose sanctions on Russian officials involved in human rights violations.
Still, there has been resistance to acting on the trade bill at a time when Russia is seen as aiding the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad and has taken a hostile stance toward the United States on such issues as missile defense.
Rep. David Dreier, R-Calif., the chairman of the Rules Committee and a leading advocate of trade bills, said the trade measure would be a win both for American jobs and "for the people of Russia who deserve better than they've gotten." It's a good thing, he said, "because (Russian President) Vladimir Putin is not a good guy."
The trade bill, unlike bilateral free trade treaties, requires no concessions from the U.S. side. With passage, U.S. companies and farmers would see lower tariffs, better protections for intellectual property and greater access to Russia's service market and would be able to go to the WTO to resolve disputes.
The administration and economists have predicted that U.S. exports of goods and services, currently at $11 billion, could double in five years if trade relations were normalized. If Congress fails to act, business groups say, Americans will fall even further behind Europe and China in tapping a growing market of 140 million consumers.
The bill, the White House said in a statement supporting its passage, "is about providing opportunities for American businesses and workers and creating jobs here at home."
The legislation would also extend permanent normal trade relations to Moldova, another former Soviet state.
At issue is the Jackson-Vanik amendment to a 1974 trade bill that conditioned trade with the Soviet Union to greater freedom for Soviet minorities seeking to leave the country. Since the 1990s, presidents have annually waived the now-obsolete Jackson-Vanik requirement, but it still must be eliminated as part of a permanent trade relations accord.
The accompanying human rights bill is named after Russian lawyer and whistle-blower Sergei Magnitsky, who died in a Russian jail in 2009 after allegedly being subject to torture. The House bill would impose sanctions such as visa restrictions and the freezing of assets of Russian officials involved in human rights violations. The Magnitsky bill pending in the Senate goes further to extend penalties to human rights violators around the world.
Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said he would not be supporting the trade bill without the addition of the human rights provision, which he called "probably the most significant piece of human rights legislation attached to any trade bill" in his 16 years in Congress.
"We can vote for this legislation, if I might say so, with good conscience," said Rep. Sander Levin of Michigan, top Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee.
Russian officials have voiced strong opposition to the Magnitsky measure. The Obama administration has said that, while it does not object to the Magnitsky bill, it would have preferred that the trade legislation be taken up on its own. The White House policy statement on the bill refers generally to the need to promote respect for human rights around the world and says the administration will continue to work with Congress to support those seeking a free and democratic future in Russia.

SQL Server Service Broker
SQL Server Service Broker provides native support for messaging and queuing applications in the SQL Server Database Engine. This makes it easier for developers to create sophisticated applications that use the Database Engine components to communicate between disparate databases. Developers can use Service Broker to easily build distributed and reliable applications.
Application developers who use Service Broker can distribute data workloads across several databases without programming complex communication and messaging internals. This reduces development and test work because Service Broker handles the communication paths in the context of a conversation. It also improves performance. For example, front-end databases supporting Web sites can record information and send process intensive tasks to queue in back-end databases. Service Broker ensures that all tasks are managed in the context of transactions to assure reliability and technical consistency.
Where is the documentation for Service Broker?
The reference documentation for Service Broker is included in the SQL Server 2012 documentation. This reference documentation includes the following sections:
Data Definition Language (DDL) Statements (Transact-SQL) for CREATE, ALTER, and DROP statements
Service Broker Related Dynamic Management Views (Transact-SQL)
See the previously published documentation for Service Broker concepts and for development and management tasks. This documentation is not reproduced in the SQL Server 2012 documentation due to the small number of changes in Service Broker in SQL Server 2012.
What's new in Service Broker in SQL Server 2012?
Messages can be sent to multiple target services (multicast)
The syntax of the SEND (Transact-SQL) statement has been extended to enable multicast by supporting multiple conversation handles.
Queues expose the message enqueued time
Queues have a new column, message_enqueue_time, that shows how long a message has been in the queue.
Poison message handling can be disabled
The CREATE QUEUE (Transact-SQL) and ALTER QUEUE (Transact-SQL) statements now have the ability to enable or disable poison message handling by adding the clause, POISON_MESSAGE_HANDLING (STATUS = ON | OFF). The catalog view sys.service_queues now has the column is_poison_message_handling_enabled to indicate whether poison message is enabled or disabled.
AlwaysOn support in Service Broker

Shangri-La Hotel, Xian supports the Dan Yang School, which offers schooling to approximately 200 children. The school is located in one of the poorest farming areas in China. Before 2010, Dan Yang School faced many challenges such as aged facilities and lack of developmental tools, including a reading room, computers and proper lighting. During the first year of support, the hotel focused on upgrading the school's facilities with the aim to create a positive learning environment by painting walls, adjusting the lighting and improving classroom cooling systems. Tables, chairs and a new computer with an attached printer were also donated to assist children in developing their IT skills.
Books for all
In 2012, hotel colleagues donated 117 books and helped set up the school's first library, complete with a dictionary for every student. Mr Chen, the headmaster of the Dan Yang School, was touched by this generous act and remarked that "even one book can arouse a child's interest in reading."
Latest news
To promote further extracurricular activities, Shangri-La Hotel, Xian has committed to help Dan Yang School set up their first music classroom along with drums and a trumpet in 2013.

text: Janus 3 Posted August 19, 2012 So, this will be the first LCG I will be investing in, and I'm loving what's been presented so far for material. As I wait for the core sets to make it to retail shops, I gotta wonder what to expect from the future. Looking through the material for other LCGs, it looks like there's Deluxe expansions and Basic packs. The Deluxe Expansions run about $30, the Basic Packs run $10 - $15. So, for those that have been playing other titles, what can we expect? Also, what do we want to see in the expansions? New mechanics, variations on what we've seen?

Francesco Sarcone-Chasing Space Music and Sound Design For Motiongraphic
At Design Interviews
Interview with Francesco Sarcone : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Francesco Sarcone : The idea was to make an interaction between visual and audio, creating the sound out of nothing in the same way the space is created by something that we don't know and we can't really understand. A speech from Alan Watts inspired the video: "... that's what we find as we investigate the Universe: make the microscope bigger and bigger, and we will find ever more minute things; the Universe expands, because it's running away from itself." .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Francesco Sarcone : I wanted to create the sound of the emptiness and lead the audience inside of it. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Francesco Sarcone : I will release an album with my best soundtracks and this track will be included in extended version. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Francesco Sarcone : I can't exactly say how long in took because it was a personal work, i didn't have a deadline, so i did it in my free time... but i can say that i had this project on my desk for about 5 months! .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Francesco Sarcone : I followed an inspiration, i worked with the visual designer on several short project just to do what we wanted to do and see how far we can go. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Francesco Sarcone : In some ways i was inspired by the work of Diego Stocco, a famous sound designer who use to create sounds from objects and self built instruments; i like his fork flow. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Francesco Sarcone : Musical instruments (guitars, bass, percussions); music production software (Ableton Live); 2 condenser microphones to record the field sound of an empty big room; 1 contact microphone to capture the sound of some small objects. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Francesco Sarcone : I collaborated with Marco Bagni, the visual designer of this project, he gave me some feedbacks about the audio and we worked together to make it deeper. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Francesco Sarcone : The hardest part of this work was to create sounds out of nothing and to describe the emptiness with sounds. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Francesco Sarcone : Once i finished this work i wanted to have some feedbacks and i decided to find an international competition. .

Consumer marketing director for Indianapolis Fruit Co., Lori Taylor recently visited Vidalia, Ga., as her alter ego The Produce Mom to gather material to help consumers understand the farm-to-fork journey of Vidalia onions.
She said the Vidalia Onion Committee"s efforts have impressed her as a produce marketer and the onions themselves have always been a favorite of hers. Those elements made for perfect blogging conditions, she said.
"The Produce Mom (blog) has been blessed with a growing consumer following," Taylor said. "These consumers trust me to be a voice of authority and knowledge on all things produce."
Taylor toured the Stanley Farms Vidalia operations, including fresh and fresh-cut onion facilities. She also toured growing fields during harvest with Oso Sweet"s marketing director Chris Kiehm.

Career Services holds first-ever employment boot camp
March 1, 2013
|Networking expert and former marketer for Virgin America Porter Gale will deliver the keynote address.
Today's twenty-somethings aren't immune to the recession and its toll on the job market. Many become "permaterns"—the term describing perpetual interns who bounce from one internship to another in the quest for a full-time job. But Loyola University New Orleans is trying to break that cycle. Its Career Development Center is leading the charge to help its students and young alumni land full-time jobs with its first-ever employment boot camp, Employ the Pack, set for March 16.
The conference is a new half-day, professional-caliber employment strategies seminar available to students and young alumni for free. Featuring one-on-one consultations and on-site employment experts, the conference is set for the St. Charles Room on Loyola's main campus. The event, co-sponsored by the Office of Alumni Relations, will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude with a networking lunch at 12:30 p.m.
"What we want the students and young alumni to come away with is the confidence and skillset to believe that they can conquer the job search—that the job search will not do them in," said Roberta Kaskel, director of Loyola's Career Development Center.
Networking expert and former marketer for Virgin America Porter Gale will deliver the keynote address, discussing how technologies such as Web-based job boards and LinkedIn are changing the job search process. Gale is the author of the new book, "Your Network is Your Net Worth." Though it won't be released until the summer, 50 lucky conference attendees will receive the book for free.
Former U.S. diplomat and founder of Atlas Services Corp. Scott Beale will close the conference with his talk, "Making a Difference While Making a Living." Beale will discuss how making a living and living your dream should be one in the same. Beale's company funds international social entrepreneur programs.
Small group workshops during the conference will give attendees hands-on skills and practical advice to kickstart a strategic job search. Google Inc.'s Sam Bowler, team lead for field marketing in New Orleans, will speak about his "gap year" work with Teach for America directly after college and how it led him to working with the Internet giant in a workshop session, "Turning Doing Good into My Career: Exploring Gap Year Possibilities."
New Orleans-based AXA Financial Advisors will host a real-world money and budgeting session, "Can I Make it on This Paycheck: Financial Planning 101." Other sessions include an interactive how-to for using Career Shift—an online tool designed to connect job seekers with folks with which to build a career-supporting relationship.
"This conference is one for students to invest in themselves," Kaskel said. "They just spent four years making a complete investment in getting knowledge in a discipline. Now, invest in knowing how to market that for yourself and where you want to take it."
Participants can register online or by e-mailing Li Seghers.

Stop by the library for a look at the quilt to be raffled off by the Solon Beef Days Committee. The quilt, made by Marianne Klouda, is made from past Beef Days T-shirts. It's fun to look at and will take you down memory lane with a bit of Beef Days history.
"The Summer Reading Program is off to a great start,"' reported Jen Leveck, Youth Services Librarian. "We have already had a lot of kids coming in to pick up prizes and handed out a lot of T-shirts."
Recently added to the library's DVD collection:
"Blue Valentine" (2010, R) stars Ryan Gossling and Michelle Williams (in an Oscar-nominated performance) as a contemporary married couple, charting their evolution over a span of years by cross-cutting between time periods.
"Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" (2011, G) follows teen sensation Justin Bieber on his 2010 concert tour.
"Gnomeo and Juliet" (2011, G) an animated feature in which the neighboring gardens of Montague and Capulet are at war, but the gnomes, Gnomeo and Juliet, are in love.
Patrons of all ages are making the Solon Public Library a popular place to be this summer. The Summer Reading Program is pulling in lots of patrons for the programming and reading for prizes, as well as checking out books. On Tuesday, June 7, one daycare visit, two children's programs and family night brought 710 visitors into the library. An unprecedented attendance of 43 patrons attended Teens On Tuesdays @ 2.
CEDAR RAPIDS– The Lady Spartans picked up their first two losses of the season last week, but both came against ranked opponents.
Solon's varsity softball team split a doubleheader with No. 12 (in 3A) Mt Vernon before a narrow loss to No. 3 (4A) Des Moines East at the Bill Hennessey Classic Softball Tournament held at Cedar Rapids Jefferson.
But Solon, now 12-2 on the season, stayed close to No. 2 West Delaware at the top of the WaMaC East standings, and continued to rack up wins against quality opponents.
ELDRIDGE– Solon girls soccer closed the book on a terrific season a little earlier than they wanted to, one game short of making the state tournament. The field at North Scott once again hosted the final soccer game of the season for the Spartans. Center Point-Urbana (CPU), which Solon had beat earlier in the season, came out on top this time with an overtime win of 2-1 in the regional final June 6.
SOLON– Solon's varsity baseball team outscored its opponents 72-17 last week.
The Spartans moved to 13-0 with lopsided wins against Mt. Vernon, Marion and Independence and lead Iowa's Class 3A in home runs, runs scored and batting average, according to statistics compiled by quikstatsiowa.com.
Solon took a pair from Mt. Vernon on the road Monday, 12-8 and 21-3, behind its potent offense.
Several Spartans had multiple hits in the first game. Marshall Koehn, Derrick Loveless, Tyler Smith, Shawn Olson and Ryan Butler collected two hits each, while Nick Day went 3-5.
CORALVILLE– Lawn-care questions will be answered at a June 18 gardening workshop in Coralville. This seminar will cover important information on proper care and maintenance to keep your lawn and landscape healthy and looking their best through the summer. Geared for homeowners this will offer tips and information for everyone from first time homeowners to avid gardeners. This is a great way for people who want to save money by doing it themselves to learn the right way to care for their yards.
Some of the topics that will be covered:
By Lori Lindner
North Liberty Leader
NORTH LIBERTY– She is a big sister. He is a little brother. Together, they make one dynamic duo.
Kinsey and Keon have been matched through the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Johnson County program since February 2010. The two have taken in baseball games, gone to the museum, played games, baked cupcakes and even attended an Iowa Hawkeye football game at Kinnick Stadium. They picnic together, play catch and sometimes, do nothing more than chat about how their days went, joke around and hang out.
NORTH LIBERTY–Memorial Day brought the sight of flag-lined streets to North Liberty's Fox Run area, St. Andrews neighborhood and some other areas of North Liberty.
The flags are a fundraiser for the Optimist Club of North Liberty. Sam O'Brien, of Scout of Troop 216, started the project for to earn his Eagle Scout status, with a goal of selling 50 flags. As of Memorial Day, 46 flag subscriptions were sold, and by Flag Day, June 14, another 15 people planned to show their patriotism through flying their flags.

- Water Avens
Philip Precey
Water Avens is a locally common plant that inhabits damp places such as riversides, wet woodlands and damp meadows. A close relative of the Wood Avens, its nodding, bell-shaped flowers are multi-coloured and, perhaps, a shade prettier. They appear from May to September and are followed by feathery seed heads.
How to identify
The cup-shaped flowers of Water Avens have dark red sepals and orangey-pink petals surrounding a cluster of yellow stamens; they hang delicately on long, purple stems. The round leaves are usually found at the base of the stem.
Where to find it
Grows mainly in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Locally common in parts of England, but rarer in the south.
When to find it
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
How can people help
Human activity, including the drainage of land for agriculture and development, has resulted in the disappearance of many of the UK's wetlands. The Wildlife Trusts are working closely with planners, developers and farmers to ensure our wetlands are protected. You can help too: add native plants and flowers like Water Avens to the edge of a wildlife-friendly pond and provide nectar for insects and shelter for amphibians. In partnership with the RHS, The Wildlife Trusts' Wild About Gardens initiative can help you plan your wildlife garden.

President Obama addressed the nation in an emotionally charged speech Friday, wiping away tears as he expressed sympathy for the families of the victims killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
President Barack Obama reacted to news of the horrific elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., Friday like many other Americans: As a parent first.
"I know there's not a parent in America who doesn't feel the same overwhelming grief that I do," the president said in a tearful midday speech.
Obama was among many public figures who were left feeling overwhelming grief – and parental empathy - for the families who were victims of the massacre that killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"The majority of those who died today were children – beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old," the visibly emotional president said. "They had their entire lives ahead of them: birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own."
Obama went on to say that the nation had gone through too many mass shootings too many times.
"This evening Michelle and I will do what I know every parent in America will do, which is hug our children a little tighter, and we'll tell them that we love them, and we'll remind each other how deeply we love one another," he said.
The heartbreaking mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School was met with disbelief and tears from people across the country. NBC's Kevin Tibbles reports.
Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy reacted with sadness. "Evil visited this community today. And it's too early to speak of recovery, but each parent, each sibling, each member of the family has to understand that Connecticut - we're all in this together. We'll do whatever we can to overcome this event. We will get through it. But this is a terrible time for this community and these families."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the shooting hit him as a parent and a politician.
"I am in shock and disbelief at this horrible tragedy that took so many innocent lives today. As a father and grandfather, it is beyond my comprehension why anyone would want to hurt innocent children. I join the millions of Americans whose thoughts and hearts are with those suffering because of this horrible crime in Connecticut," he said in a statement.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said that the department's hearts and prayers were with the school's students and staff and surrounding community. He, too, reacted as a parent.

"School shootings are always incomprehensible and horrific tragedies. But words fail to describe today's heartbreaking and savage attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School. As the father of two children in elementary school, I can barely imagine the anguish and losses suffered today by the Newtown community," he said.
Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut also said that he and his wife were heartbroken for the nation, and as parents.
"Hadassah and I are shocked and heartbroken by the horrific events in Newtown today. We know this community and its people well. It is a beautiful town with wonderful people. As parents and grandparents, our hearts grieve for them today, and we send our prayers to each of them," Lieberman said in a statement.
House Speaker John Boehner appealed to Americans to come together, and to seek solace in religion.
"The horror of this day seems so unbearable, but we will lock arms and unite as citizens, for that is how Americans rise above unspeakable evil. Let us all come together in God's grace to pray for the families of the victims, that they may find some comfort and peace amid such suffering," Boehner said in a statement.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell offered the hope that such violence could be eradicated.
"We are all crushed by the news of today's horrifying massacre in Newtown. I invite everyone to lift their hearts in prayer for the victims and their families and to unite around the hope that there will soon come a day when parents no longer fear this kind of violence in our nation again," McConnell said.
The outpouring of sympathy also came from overseas.
Students described hearing shots and screams over the intercom at school, which is how they first knew something was wrong. The survivors lived because of the bravery of their teachers. NBC's Anne Thompson reports.
England's Queen Elizabeth II sent a message to Obama reading: "I have been deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the dreadful loss of life today in Newtown, Connecticut; particularly the news that so many of the dead are children. Prince Philip joins me in extending our heartfelt sympathy to you and the American people at this difficult time. The thoughts and prayers of everyone in the United Kingdom and throughout the Commonwealth are with the families and friends of those killed and with all those who have been affected by today's events."
Pope Benedict XVI's spokesperson, Cardinal Tarcisio Berton, wrote in a statement: "The Holy Father was promptly informed of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and he has asked me to convey his heartfelt grief and the assurance of this closeness in prayer to the victims and their families, and to all affected by the shocking event. In the aftermath of this senseless tragedy he asks God, our Father, to console all those who mourn and to sustain the entire community with the spiritual strength which triumphs over violence by the power of forgiveness, hope and reconciling love."
Some public figures also called on the nation to re-evaluate gun laws.
Mark Kelly, husband of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was gravely injured in a shooting on Jan. 8, 2011, said he and his wife were sending their prayers to the victims.
"As we mourn, we must sound a call for our leaders to stand up and do what is right. This time our response must consist of more than regret, sorrow, and condolence. The children of Sandy Hook Elementary School and all victims of gun violence deserve leaders who have the courage to participate in a meaningful discussion about our gun laws - and how they can be reformed and better enforced to prevent gun violence and death in America. This can no longer wait," Kelly's statement on Facebook read in part.
There have been several mass shootings in 2012 alone, and on Friday President Obama said politicians will need to come together to take action regardless of the politics. NBC's Tom Costello reports.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said his deepest sympathies were with the families of the shooting, and he called on national figures to do more than send their thoughts and prayers.
"With all the carnage from gun violence in our country, it's still almost impossible to believe that a mass shooting in a kindergarten class could happen. It has come to that. Not even kindergarteners learning their A,B,Cs are safe. We heard after Columbine that it was too soon to talk about gun laws. We heard it after Virginia Tech. After Tucson and Aurora and Oak Creek. And now we are hearing it again. For every day we wait, 34 more people are murdered with guns. Today, many of them were 5-year olds. President Obama rightly sent his heartfelt condolences to the families in Newtown. But the country needs him to send a bill to Congress to fix this problem," Bloomberg's statement said in part.

The deadly struggle with Afghanistan's bitter winter is only likely to get worse in the coming years, a top UN official warned, as he called for more aid money to be dedicated to emergency relief.
At least two children are already reported to have died from the cold this winter in Kabul's makeshift refugee camps, crammed with tens of thousands of Afghans who have fled violence or desperate poverty, despite a drive by aid groups to prepare for sub-zero temperatures.
"Each family already has two or three people who are sick," said 77-year-old Shah Ghasi, who has squatted in the Bagh Dawood camp outside Kabul for nearly a decade. "We only have hot water to try and keep warm — no stoves, no fuel."
In 2011, the bitterest winter in decades caught the country by surprise and more than 100 children died in the squalid camps. Last year, there was a more organized effort to get food, blankets, fuel and medicine to people who sometimes have little more than a sheet of plastic to shelter them from snow and ice.
"A couple of days ago, an organization came to the camp and gave each family plastic sheeting for the roofs, three blankets, a dish for cooking food and two packages of coal," said Abdul Malek, a 45-year-old community leader in the Dewani Bigi camp, which is home to more than 1,000 people.
The scale of the problem is growing as violence across Afghanistan worsens. Nearly half a million people have now left their homes, but remain inside Afghan borders, said the Norwegian Refugee Council, one of the main organizations working with "internally displaced people," as the settlers are known.
About one-third of them — approximately 166,000 — fled last year alone and the problem of sprawling settlements is only likely to grow in a country that is struggling with war, urbanization, harsh weather exacerbated by climate change and a population boom.
"The real message is that displacement isn't going away, but we haven't yet found the right ways of addressing it because of the complexity of the problem," said Mark Bowden, the UN's deputy envoy and humanitarian coordinator in Afghanistan.
Land ownership is one of the most complicated and explosive issues in Afghanistan, and the government is wary of giving the camp inhabitants land rights that might encourage them to improve their homes for fear it could encourage others to flood into the capital or other cities. However, without better homes it will always be hard to protect families from the winter.
Forecasts for milder weather than 2011 could help blunt the impact of the cold in camps, but Afghanistan is already plagued by some of the world's worst child mortality rates, rampant malnutrition and other health problems that make winter particularly challenging.
"It is, I think, going to get worse. We do need to have stronger support," Bowden said, referring to the grim toll winter takes on the country's poorest.
"What you are dealing with is a very vulnerable population. When you add on that it's also at greater risk of natural hazards such as cold and floods and drought, it does require a far stronger humanitarian response capacity than we have at the moment," he added.
Bowden estimates that only a tiny percentage of aid money coming into Afghanistan — perhaps just single figures — goes to supporting urgent humanitarian needs. Donors stumped up less than half the cash the UN sought for Afghanistan's emergency response fund last year and at one point, it was completely empty.

Google Android 3.0 'Honeycomb' full review
Google Android 3.0 'Honeycomb' is a mobile OS with a lot to offer, but it has a long way to go before it'll deliver the full tablet experience.
Honeycomb is a whole different beast from the Google Android we've come to know. While previous versions of Google's mobile operating system were built for smartphones, Honeycomb - also known as Android 3.0 - is the first to be designed specifically for tablet PCs. And seeing it in action, it certainly shows.
Motorola's recently launched Xoom is the first in a series of tablets that'll run the Honeycomb OS. The Motorola Xoom has made plenty of headlines for its high-end specs: The tablet boasts a dual-core 1-GHz processor with 1GB of RAM. It has 32GB of internal storage, plus the option for additional storage via an integrated MicroSD slot. And all of that is housed beneath a beautiful (if slightly glare-prone) 10.1-in display.
But the truth is, while the Xoom's hardware is impressive, it's the software that's the much bigger story. I took a long look at Honeycomb to see how it compares to earlier versions of Android and to its popular competitor, Apple iOS for the Apple iPad.
Google Android 3.0 'Honeycomb': The home screen advantage
When you power up an Android Honeycomb tablet like the Xoom, you'll find yourself on one of the device's five available home screens. These home screens and the functionality they provide are among the most significant advantages Honeycomb offers over competing tablet platforms.
Where the iPad's operating system is basically a blown-up version of what you get on the iPhone - static rows of square-shaped icons - Honeycomb includes several features that take full advantage of the tablet's ample screen real estate.
Among the most useful features are the widgets, which are effectively live, functioning apps that run right on your home screen. You can have a widget for your email, for example, that allows you to view and even scroll through your inbox. Other widgets let you browse your calendar, flick through news stories or see the current weather for your area, without ever opening a thing.
The idea of widgets, of course, isn't new to Honeycomb; as any Android smartphone user knows, widgets have long been a part of Google's mobile operating system. With Honeycomb, however, widgets have become more interactive than ever - you can now scroll, flick and interact within the widgets themselves. And given the large screen size of a tablet, their potential becomes far more significant.
On a single screen of the Xoom, for example, I'm able to simultaneously see my inbox, my upcoming appointments and my local weather forecast. I also have scrollable access to all of my Chrome bookmarks, synced continuously from my PC. I'd imagine that after growing accustomed to this kind of advanced-usage scenario, many users would be reluctant to return to the static environment a platform like Apple's iOS provides.
Honeycomb, like past Android versions, also affords you the freedom to use your home screen space as you see fit; you can drop any combination of widgets and app shortcuts where you like. The actual method for customizing is quite different in Honeycomb than in previous Android releases; while it may be an adjustment for Android phone users, it strikes me as a far more intuitive approach.
On an Android smartphone, adding a widget requires you to either long-press your home screen or tap your phone's "menu" button to find the command. Adding app shortcuts and changing wallpapers are separate processes.
In Honeycomb, on the other hand, you simply tap a "plus" icon at the top-right corner of the display to enter an all-in-one home screen customization tool. There, you find thumbnails for your five home screens, along with lists of every widget, app shortcut and wallpaper on your tablet. You can touch any item to select it and drag it onto a home screen. Then, on the home screen itself, you can touch and hold any item to move it around or eliminate it altogether.
Is it simple enough that a 2-year-old could figure it out? Not necessarily. But this is a tablet, not a toy - and what you lose in foolproof simplicity is a trade-off for what you gain in powerful functionality.
Google Android 3.0 'Honeycomb': Notifications and navigation
The newly revamped Android notification system is equally powerful. Notifications have often been cited as one of Android's core strengths, and their progression in Honeycomb seems like a natural and well-executed evolution.
Instead of the top-of-screen notification bar found on Android phones, Honeycomb uses an area in the bottom-right corner of the tablet (next to a system clock) to keep you apprised of incoming emails, tweets and whatever else you want to see. Any notification can be enabled or disabled based on your preferences.
The setup feels like a more elegant version of the typical desktop notification. When you get a new email in Honeycomb, for example, a small box appears that shows you the sender and the subject of the message. After a few seconds, the box vanishes, leaving only an envelope icon in its place. You can tap the icon to view additional information, open the message or dismiss the notification completely.
To the left of the notification area sit two icons that show your network status and tablet battery level. Touching those icons pulls up a quick-settings menu where you can perform basic tasks, like changing your network configuration or adjusting the brightness of your screen. You can also tap a link to jump to the full system settings panel, which contains advanced options for adjusting your tablet's behavior.
Honeycomb tablets, unlike their Android smartphone counterparts, have no hardware buttons on their faces; instead, there are a series of icons in the bottom-left corner of the display. One icon allows you to go back a step - similar to the back button in a Web browser -- while another returns you to your home screen. A third icon shows you a list of your most recently used applications, allowing you to toggle to another program without closing any others.
In smartphone editions of Android, you have to long-press the home button to find this multitasking function - something many users might not think to do on their own. Honeycomb's implementation eliminates the need to search out these potentially confusing power-user shortcuts.
Perhaps the most user-friendly feature of the Honeycomb OS is its seamless integration with Google search technology. A Google search icon sits at the top-left corner of the Honeycomb home screen. Tapping it allows you to simultaneously search the Web and your device -- contacts, applications, multimedia files and so on -- for any type of information you need. Similar one-touch search functions are provided in all of the native Honeycomb apps.
Alternatively, you can use Google's impressive Voice Actions software. From the home screen, tapping a microphone icon and speaking a phrase instantly launches a Web search for your term; you can also get directions by saying "navigate to" followed by an address or business name; listen to music by saying "listen to" and an artist's name; or even send yourself a memo via Gmail by saying "note to self" and then speaking a message.
Google's voice-to-text technology is tightly integrated throughout the entire operating system; in basically any instance where you can enter text, you can also press a microphone icon to dictate the words instead.

Colorado senators to hear seven gun bills Monday in two committees
Colorado senators on Monday will hear seven gun bills in two separate committees meeting at the same time, setting the stage for a long and wild day at the state Capitol.
When four gun bills were heard in the House two weeks ago, Second Amendment activists showed up en masse and additional committee rooms were opened so citizens could hear the proceedings.
Four of the bills to be heard Monday already have passed the House; the other three are being heard in the Senate first. All are sponsored by Democrats, who control the House, Senate and governor's office.
Here is the schedule:
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE: 10:30 a.m. Monday, Old Supreme Court Chambers
Senate Bill 197: Restricts firearms for domestic violence offenders
House Bill 1224: Limits ammunition magazines to 15 rounds
Senate Bill 196: Assesses liability for assault weapons
Senate Bill 195: Bans online training for concealed handgun permits
SENATE STATE, VETERANS & MILITARY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE: 10:30 a.m. Monday, Room 356
House Bill 1229: Requires universal background checks for gun sales and transfers
House Bill 1228: Requires gun customers to pay the costs of their background checks
House Bill 1226: Outlaws concealed-weapon permit holders from packing heat in campus buildings

With the hallways mostly empty earlier this week, several students from Boulder's Fairview High School livened up the atmosphere by channeling the undead in a video shoot that will become one element of a campaign to help students confront a variety of issues.
The production, headed by University of Colorado Boulder adjunct instructor Richard Goode-Allen, featured students made up by professional make-up artists playing zombies wearing signs representing different "zombie emotions" — like envy, fear, stress and imperfection — that follow the video's heroine through the halls. Ultimately, she's thrown a lifeline and escapes their grip.
The project promotes the school's "Awareness Drive" that addresses many aspects of students' mental health and wellness, including substance abuse, cutting, depression and eating disorders. The resource fair takes place March 18-22 at Fairview and serves as a pilot for future projects both within and outside the Boulder Valley School District.

Lou Engle, one of the looniest voices in the Christian right and a man who considers himself a prophet, has written a really weird, meandering screed to explain why he thinks God is telling him to vote for Mitt Romney. It all involves dreams and his imaginary friend "speaking to his heart" and other such nonsense. But he starts with this absurd statement:
My clear and pointed statement has been that I cannot vote for anyone who by legal decree supports the shedding of innocent blood, believing such a vote would make me an accomplice to the act.
So that applies to those who start wars too, right? Because lots of innocent people die in every war. No? I didn't think so. You only care about fetuses, not real people — especially if they're dark-skinned people in another country. Fuck them. Somewhere in the middle of this rambling diatrie, he finally gets to this:
At about this time of crisis in my own thought processes, my closest friend (and a true prophet in my life) had a compelling dream concerning Romney's viability as a candidate. In the dream, Romney was clearly favorable from a divine perspective. After this, the substance of my friend's dream was immediately confirmed by another prophetic encounter from another well known prophetic voice.
Now hear me, this election is not about Romney being the great answer to America's problems. Rather, these prophetic experiences seemed to indicate that Romney was a sort of window of mercy to America on several fronts, but chiefly the dividing of Jerusalem. The thought of protecting that ancient covenantal bond of God shifted my paradigm dramatically. I found myself having to peer into another biblical principle that I heretofore had not pondered with the same intensity as I had the life issue.As I sought the Lord concerning these various biblical truths and prophetic words, it was as if a light began to shine into my heart. I sensed the Lord saying, Will you stand with Me in my covenantal faithfulness? Will you stand for my ancient covenant with My people? A deep abiding "yes" began to conquer my arguments…
With that said, I am declaring my best, personal understanding of the Lord 's heart in this hour: that in this election, America 's future is on dangerous ground, facing judgment not only over abortion and other key issues, but most definitely over the high possibility of breaking faith with God's covenant with Jerusalem, the land of Israel, and His covenant people. President Obama has publicly called for the return of the land of Jerusalem and Israel to the pre-1967 boundaries. I can't go there. I won't. My heart had been opened to another great theme: The Life of the unborn has called me and God 's covenant to the Jewish people restrains me.
I am voting for Romney.
And his vote, based on such completely irrational grounds, counts the same as mine.

After my previous post on not fearing fat, I smiled to myself this weekend when I came across the following article in June's InStyle — "3 Take-It-Off Tips You've Never Heard Of" with the 2nd tip being:
DON'T SKIM THE FAT – Pour some whole milk into your A.M. coffee, and slip your spoon into 2 percent Greek yogurt instead of fat-free. "The extra fat actually slows the absorption of sugar into your blood, which helps prevent it from being stored as fat," says Slayton. "Plus, it's more satiating."
I guess this tip is unfortunately one that many have never heard of, but it makes sense. The fat slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which can help to stabilize blood sugar levels. In addition, it can help you to have a more satisfied yet thinner tummy (when combined with an overall healthy diet and exercise, of course). I'm happy to see that mainstream media is starting to spread the healthier word on this topic!
