One of the best times to go to Palm Beach is at the end of spring, but to have one of the best times, go for a bachelorette weekend! Just one hour north of Miami, the tiny island has historically hosted high society (think of the Kennnedys) for more than a century and is now home to the likes of Bill Gates and Bruce Springsteen.
It all began when oil tycoon Henry M. Flagler opened his Royal Poinciana Hotel in 1894 and the railroad two years later. Then in 1959, Palm Beach hostess and socialite Lilly Pulitzer opened a juice stand just off Worth Avenue. Yet it was her colorful, shift dress uniform that took off more than the freshly squeezed, and American resort wear was forever changed.
From Addison Mizner's Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style to waterfront pastels that serve as the backdrop for all the best Instagrams, history and a good time will not be lost on those who choose Palm Beach as their pre- "I do" destination. So make like C.Z. Guest in all of those famed Slim Aarons' photos, and pack your white linens and espadrilles, ladies, cause we're going to Palm Beach!
The Breakers is the staple in Palm Beach. Some more good news: it's walking distance from shopping destinations, Worth Avenue and Royal Poinciana Plaza. Stay here, and you'll be resting your head where Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Andrew Carnegie, and J.P. Morgan once did. Rooms are equipped with crisp, clean, and comfy bedding with pops of jewel tones in botanical prints. With four pools, 25 bungalows, complimentary fitness classes, an indoor-outdoor spa, 10 tennis courts, and chauffeured Tesla house car service, what more could you want for a getaway with the girls?
A little backstory: The hotel burned down twice in the 20thcentury, but with each renovation it's become even more impressive. The last upgrade resulted in the newly added hotspot, HMF—the new place for pre- and post-dinner sips. The Circle's brunch is also a treat, especially on Sundays.
If banana leaf print and pink and green chandeliers are a draw (which they 100% should be!), The Colony, which recently underwent a five-year $18 million revamp of its 90 accommodation options, might be more your speed. Artist Kate Schelter helped the hotel create a new logo and introduced a cheeky rendering of Johnnie Brown, Addison Mizner's playful primate from the 1920s. Rooms are tricked out in classic Palm Beach style with contemporary twists that include marble and tile bathrooms with glass walk-in showers and luxurious bath amenities—getting ready to go out at night has never looked so good. And with complimentary white sun umbrellas and striped beach chairs an iconic selfie-sesh is born.
Of course, no visit to Palm Beach is complete without a stroll on Worth Avenue lined with palm trees, pastels, and poinsettia. Walk by Chanel, Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Lilly Pulitzer, Louis Vuitton, and Shari's Place, and grab cocktail or two at the Bimini Bar.
At The Royal Poinciana Plaza, shop at favorites likes Saint Laurent, Kirna Zabête, and Theory. They also opened a large Sant Ambroeus location (the first outside of New York state)—perfect for replenishing the hungry or hungover.
It's no wonder Palm Beach is also known as heaven for vintage and antique lovers. The Church Mouse is a 4,500-square foot space wrapped in a baby blue coat of paint. Just a touch north of Worth Avenue, there's no shortage of needlepoint here. Peruse through vintage Emilio Pucci, Valentino, Gucci and more designer pieces.
For a younger, snarkier twist on grandma style, look no further than Lycette Designs, where one can grab a pillow stitched with "When life hands you lemons, add vodka" or "I would prefer not to" and much, much more.
If your motto is "If it's not moving, monogram it," Lori Jayne is a must-go. Voted the 2018 Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year, this gift and accessories shop customizes pillows, microphones (for all your late-night karaoke needs), china, and more hostess-appropriate presents.
Stay on Worth Avenue, and dine at Bice (the lunchtime crowd is there to see and be seen). The mini-chain Italian restaurant is the perfect spot for getting all the girls together to regroup. For something less casual, try Ta-boo, which opened in 1941 and has served JFK, Frank Sinatra, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The roof retracts, allowing diners to gaze up at the stars.
Another option is the Restoration Hardware Rooftop Restaurant, which also recently opened an outpost in Manhattan. Head up to the fourth floor for a magnificent set-up. Who doesn't love dining under sparkling chandeliers?
Want grab coffee and indulge in a burger like JFK? Head to Green's Pharmacy. This real pharmacy has been filling peoples' appetites and their prescriptions since 1938. The comfort food they offer up will hit the spot on a Sunday morning, and it's open 365 a year, rain or shine.
Buccan is a tad newer than more established restaurants, but it has the same buzz around it. Miami Chef Clay Conley conceived his small plates menu and it is known for its gourmet hot dog. Book reservations in advance, as it has become quite a task to land one.
When not lounging around on the beach or by the pool, take to the water in a yacht. Lots of Yachts or Barton & Gray let you rent a boat for a day or for a specific amount of time. Have a more active crew? P.B. Boys Club rents paddleboards for $20 per hour.
Get seasick? A beach walk allows for one to saunter by Estée Lauder's estate and the Kennedy compound. Biking is also a faster and picturesque alternative to a slow stroll; the Palm Beach Bicycle Trail Shop on Sunrise rents bikes for $29 for up to four hours. Ride past the beautiful Flagler Museum, which was Henry Flagler's home and is open for tours.
Sunday Polo starts at 3:00 p.m., but get dressed up and mingle before at the International Polo Club in Wellington. The $120 Champagne brunch in the Pavilion or on the lawn is worth the spend, but everyone goes on the field at halftime to stomp the divots (à la Pretty Woman)—appropriate footwear is recommended. General admission is $10.
No bachelorette is complete without a little dancing under a disco ball. Cucina Palm Beach (previously Cucina Dell'Arte) is the go-to late-night bar to show off all of those killer moves that tequila gave you—so book a table and let it all out. Remember, what happens in Palm Beach, stays in Palm Beach.

Your Name, College, Year of Study, Email ID
Name of Organisation, Location city, Team Strength
Chambers of Advocate RB Mathur, Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur. He is considered as Taxation Specialist. 5 – 6 people team.
Application Process with contact details
I got this internship vide personal contacts, although one can apply for the internship through sending a CV along with a cover letter to [email protected]
Duration of internship and timings
January 9, 2015 – February 9, 2015
First impression, first day formalities, infrastructure
My first day impression was good as when I reached the office I was asked to meet Mathur Sir, who was there in his chamber. I had a formal introduction with him and after that he gave me a case file to read and I was asked to make a brief analysis of that case.
The infrastructure of the office is good enough. There is separate space provided for interns in the office. We had an easy access to the library and mentors for guidance.
Main tasks
The main tasks at the internship included case study. On the basis of the cases studied we were asked to prepare a case analysis and had to research for probable arguments.
As RB Sir mainly deals in the taxation matter so we were provided different tax matter files of various renowned firms and clients. Later on we had to prepare report or brief of the file that we have read.
Work environment and people
The office had a very amicable reception. Seniors interns as well as associates were always ready to help the interns. The environment of the office was very friendly and supportive.
There was proper guidance provided to the interns. Interaction with Mr. Mathur was possible at all hours.
Best things
The best thing that I found about the internship was that Sincerity and not seriousness was the motto.
The seniors were very friendly and supportive and had provided us proper guidance. Not only they helped us in the matters and affairs related to the internship only but were also ready to help in matters other than internship tasks like moots etc.
Bad things
Nothing in this internship I felt as a bad thing.
No stipend
Biggest Lessons
The biggest lesson that I learnt from this internship is that research is the key to win any case.
Perfection may not be as important as persistence. In depth knowledge of subject is must.
No accommodation was needed as I am a resident of Jaipur only.
Office Timings
There were flexible timings. We used to go in the evenings for 4-5 hours since the internship was done during running college.

What do you miss?
When I was in the Netherlands, Dutch colleagues and neighbours used to frequently ask what I missed. Was it general interest, something to say or their assumption that not everyone would love all things Dutch that made them ask? I don't know, but my answer changed over the years. When I first arrived, I had a long list of things I couldn't buy (or couldn't find) in the Netherlands and 15 years later when I was about to leave the list had just three things on it, English sausages, marmite and hills. I never got used to Dutch sausages (far too much meat and taste), I could not buy marmite except in very expensive ex-pat shops and I always found the excessively flat and windswept landscape depressing.
Now of course I am in France and the question is still frequently asked. Interestingly I have never been asked by a French person, only by Dutch or English visitors to our campsite or in the gîtes or indeed by fellow ex-pats. I suppose the French could not imagine that there was anything in another country that could possibly be missed by anyone. However, I do still miss things, yes still those tasteless English sausages (no self respecting Frenchman would eat one) and marmite (which is so expensive you need to re-mortgage your house to buy it locally). But now I have added to my list, I have lots of Dutch things I miss, Indonesian spices, sambal (chilli paste), ketchap manis (sweet soya sauce) and the most divine food created by mankind: kroketten.
After many, many, messy and unsuccessful attempts at making them, I have now managed to create a recipe that actually works and so we can have kroketten any time we like. My what-I-miss list now has one item less on it, just those tricky Indonesian specialities to go.
So my list is now getting even smaller, just down to sweet soy sauce, Marmite and of course we mustn't forget those tasteless English sausages.

Red Head
Charlotte and her husband Raymond moved into their house out in Redhead a few years ago. Not long after moving in strange things began to happen that frightened Charlotte. She heard noises, loud banging and felt as if someone was there with her when she was alone. Their cat would cry to get out of the house late at night as if frightened by something unseen...and it has always been an indoor cat. Charlotte had an experience in her bedroom that was particularly terrifying for her. She awoke to see a dog standing by the foot of her bed. She said it was a very strange looking small dog with its hair all standing on end and its teeth bared. Well Charlotte was very startled and wasn't sure what to do...she pulled the blankets up over her head in the hopes that it would go away, which eventually it did. This experience caused Charlotte to move from the bedroom to a different room in the hopes that she would be able to sleep better and not feel as frightened. Not long after moving rooms Charlotte was again woken up but this time by the feeling of someone tugging at her blanket. She then heard a woman's voice say "Excuse me miss...is that your dog??" Charlotte once again terrified pulled the blankets up over her head until she finally fell asleep. There was no other woman in the house, and she could not think of an explanation for it. Both Charlotte and her husband, when in bed felt as if there was a small animal walking around them...they felt little footprints walking around on the bed and when they looked the cat was nowhere to be found. Raymond had even experienced what felt like someone bumping into the mattress while he was in bed asleep. He awoke to find that there was nobody there. Charlotte began to become more and more terrified. She was crying every night and was not sleeping. She finally made a visit to our Spiritual Consultant's store where she was referred to us.
We investigated Charlotte's house and did have a few strange things occur while we were there. In Charlotte's original bedroom our spiritual consultant felt as if there was a small vortex or portal where spirits were entering. In this bedroom we encountered several equipment malfunctions and people were getting a heavy feeling. A digital camera refused to take pictures while in this bedroom in the doorway and when the investigator stopped to tell the others of the malfunction the camera began taking pictures on its own. An audio recorder was drained of its battery as was a small infrared camera placed in the other bedroom. Both had been fully charged at the beginning of the investigation. During the investigation we captured what sounded like a small pup barking or yelping, and as we mentioned Charlotte and Raymond only have a cat. The barking or yelping occurred close to the microphone on the audio recorder so we can tell that is was coming from inside the house. We also captured a strange flash or surge of light when panning from one side of the bedroom to the door where our spiritual consultant felt the portal and this cannot be explained as of yet. One thing that was noted on the night of the investigation as we were taking our initial temperature and EMF readings is that there were high EMF readings in several places around the house. The readings were especially high in the room that Charlotte's computer was in where she was known to spend a lot of her time. Our spiritual consultant did a clearing of the house on the night of the investigation and then returned on another date to focus on closing the portal in the doorway. We also gave Charlotte and Raymond some information on EMF Sensitivity. People that are known to be sensitive to EMF's can experience several symptoms including insomnia, depression, a feeling of being watched. Although we feel their experiences with the paranormal are valid, we also wanted them to be aware that this can occur. We suggested to move Charlotte's computer from the room and if that was not an option just for them to be aware that this can occur and if she gets the feelings while in that particular room to remove herself for a while. Since our investigation Charlotte has moved back into the original bedroom and was able to finally sleep through the night. We hope that Charlotte and Raymond will continue to feel more at ease in their home.

We used a 2013 GMC 2500HD Sierra Denali to pull our Cedar Creek 36CKTS Fifth Wheel for 2 years. Not only do you ride in total comfort with all the bells & whistles, but it also has the power to effortlessly pull a 40' trailer. It was a great experience. We never had any problems. We would certainly recommend this truck for towing the big rigs.

"Forced air" refers to any heating and cooling system that pushes air through ducts to heat and cool a structure. "Central air" refers specifically to an air conditioning (or cooling) capacity included as part of a forced air system.
In North America, forced air is the most common method to heat and cool residential and commercial buildings. Its use is more limited in other regions such as Europe and Japan.
Function - Forced Air
Forced air systems are designed to maintain a uniform temperature inside a building by heating or cooling air in a central location then pushing (or "forcing") that air through duct work.
Function - Central Air
Central air systems include a condenser that delivers chilled refrigerants through a series of coils. In turn, the forced air system draws air across these coils and then circulates it.
Electricity or gas may fuel the heating element of a forced air system. Central air systems rely on electricity alone.
Forced air systems use duct work and vents connected to a unit with a heating element and blower. Central air systems always locate the condenser outdoors.

A conference event speaks volumes about the host company. A conference, as with any other corporate event, will give potential customers a clear picture of the level of professionalism within your company. Of course your number one goal is to make sure that you portray a good image in the eyes of your customers. This is the reason why you must ensure that you pull through the conference successfully. One of the easy ways to run your conference smoothly is by hiring a conference event management company. Here are the reasons why outsourcing your conference needs is the better option than doing it on your own. Read on and find out.
You save valuable time
Organizing for a conference is a time consuming task. It can be quite tricky to do it yourself considering that you have other work and family responsibilities. By outsourcing the services you leave duties such as conference marketing, logistics, registration, contract negotiation and site selection to the experts. This will free up time for you to concentrate on issues that matter most during the event such as creating the program content.
Knowledge and experience
You could be having all the resource needed for the conference planning but you lack two crucial things required for successful planning and execution of a conference – knowledge and experience. A seasoned conference event management company has done and seen it all and so they can proactively tackle any challenges, plug in gaps and suggest ideas. Better yet, they know exactly where to go everything and anything required during the event. Everything from the venue hire to sourcing of vendors will be taken care of.
Remain stress free
Truth be told, arranging for a conference can be stressful and exhausting. The most invaluable benefit of hiring the pros is that you'll remain stress free throughout the planning process. All the worries and anxieties will be absorbed by the managing company. They will tend to all the preparations and liaisons and they'll always be on standby to take care of any issues that may arise. In actual fact, an experienced conference event management company can identify and tackle a problem before it shows up. So all you have to do is to relax and enjoy the smooth execution of the event from start to finish.
Enhanced accountability
Accountability of event is more important today than ever before. In light of recent conference scandals there is increasing focus on proving the value of a conference as well as controlling the event spending. There is no better way of ensuring accountability for your conference than hiring an event management company. The company will provide the necessary reporting and metrics from pre- and post-conference attendance to food and beverage spending. This is going to allow you to create a course of action to make future conferences better.
Choosing to hire a conference management company is certainly the option to take if you want a successful event that you and your guests will enjoy. It can provide significant benefits including cost and time saving for your company while simultaneously enhancing accountability and the overall experience of the event.

As with anybody else doing these things, it's an imprecise "feel" test to one degree or another. I think it always has to be some combination of resume and "eye test," and I'm no different in that regard. Based on what I've seen and what teams have done, this what I'd go with…
1. Michigan State – The resume is undeniable…there's a reasonable chance MSU has defeated 4 NCAA Tournament teams already and that's not including Florida in that group. They've won a tournament, beat a Top 5 team on a neutral court, beaten 3 of the top 11 teams in adjusted defense nationally per Ken Pom, and gotten blow outs in all their mismatch games. Top 15 nationally in adjusted offense and defense. The only thing MSU hasn't done so far is won a true road game…they'll get their first chance for that next Saturday at Northeastern. MSU is #1 for a lot of good reasons and there really aren't any reasons to *not* have them first.
2. Xavier – 10-0. Top 20 nationally in both adjusted offense and defense. 6-0 vs. Power 5 Plus 3 schools. One true road win, in resounding fashion, over Michigan. Won a tournament. Have only one opponent stay within single digits against them (Miami (OH) lost by 9 in the season opener). When I've seen them play, I see a very physically tough and agressive team at both ends. They're getting great guard play from Sumner, Abell and Davis and the two posts are tough, plus Bluiett is a born scorer on the wing. In terms of "eye test," they've been as impressive as anyone I've seen thus far.
3. Oklahoma – 7-0. Top 15 nationally in both adjusted offense and defense. They've played fewer games than the other teams here but their neutral court dismantling of Villanova was as impressive a win in terms of opponent and margin as anyone has on this list. Veteran team which has a true go-to talent in Buddy Heild. As with Xavier, the longer term issue is that they're in a league which looks to be highly competitive and deep (unlike the Big Ten), but as of now, hard to deny the way the Sooners have looked.
4. Kansas – 8-1. Top 15 nationally in both adjusted offense and defense (seeing a pattern?). Sole loss came in a very competitive neutral court game against Michigan State. Won Maui by blowing out UCLA (looks more impressive now than it did then) and handling Vandy in the final. Now at full strength with the eligibility of Diallo. I'm still semi-skeptical of their jumpshooting but they've got size, depth and experience all over the place.
5. Purdue – 11-0. Top 15 nationally in both adjusted offense and defense (#1 defensively). The knock on Purdue is that they don't have any win over a ranked team, though their next two games against Butler and Vandy will give them the opportunity to change that. I do give them credit for one very impressive win, at Pitt…that's a tough place to play and I think Pitt is decent this year. The closest anyone has come to them was New Mexico, who lost by 12. As with KU, I'm still a little bit skeptical of the guards, though they've played reasonably well thus far. Lots of size, good depth and a good deal of experience as well.

Any person who has ever been in an accident or been on the getting end of a ding on the plastic bumper knows that they can be one particular of the most hard components to repair employing over-the-counter auto body repair kits or do-it-oneself tactics. At Service King, our group meticulously performs the proper repair for each and every bumper, and reconditions your bumper to erase any signs of dents, scratches, scrapes, or indentations. The Ding King dent removal kit is key for those dings and dents that can't seem to be removed with the normal suction cup or dent puller. The important to any auto repair is to take your time – if you do that, the physique of your automobile will look like new again. Nevertheless, keeping all the above aspects in mind, the rough estimate of repairing a bumper comes down between $200 and $400.
Trim: A modern bumper normally has numerous trim pieces that should be cautiously removed prior to repair or replacement. Collision on Wheels is a mobile auto body shop that comes to your house or workplace to execute minor collision repairs , dent repair , scratch repair, paint repair and much more. One particular of the most widespread remarks I hear from adjusters when I am teaching I-CAR's plastic repair courses is that shops say they cannot guarantee a bumper cover repair when it is requested by the adjuster. Sand the surrounding repair region with the acceptable grit as per paint manufacturer's suggestions (photo 18). Recovery and Settlements Officers regularly negotiate in between them for the price of repairs, employ cars, and some other charges that may possibly be connected with having a vehicle repaired, and they are pretty darn excellent at it also.
This is the finishing touch of any bumper repair service, giving it a brand new look right out of our auto physique shop. The second estimate arrived and place the cost of repairs at £652.51. Rather of wading through dozens of added operates, the quote suggested that all that was needed was a fresh coat of paint and some minor touching up about the broken region. Perfect Instance: My wife and I traded in our 2012 Ford Concentrate and had been told that we had been receiving $1,400 much less than what it was worth since there have been enjoy bugs on the front bumper. A single of the greatest methods to get your plastic bumper hunting like new once again with no visiting a physique shop or buying your own auto paint is to use a mobile plastic bumper service. You can see why bumper manufacturing companies and auto repair facilities are smiling.
Following you eliminate the plastic piece from your bumper (the screws connecting the plastic covering can be difficult to find: try under the tail lights, behind the wheel wells, and beneath the trunk latch where we identified our Honda Civic's), you are going to need to have a warm, dry place to operate in so that the repair adhesives can remedy effectively. The elderly widow who owned the coaster and lived in the hotel under, did not have the millions to repair the track, so it sat unused for years. So, your if involved in any sort of accident it would make sense that your bumper would need repairing. As a result, the first step is to discover a stamp on the inside of your bumper labeling it as PP, PPO, TPE, PUR, or TPUR.
We come to you, so never be concerned about being without having your automobile, as our repair will be completed at your place in a matter of hours, not days! If you are in the market for a new-to-you vehicle, never automatically write off vehicles in require of bumper repair. A smart repair company will clean and prepare alloy wheels ready for primer, colour match paint employing a state of the art spectrometer for a excellent colour match and hard resilient long lasting lacquer to maintain that '"just like new" appear. We have come to the conclusion that the majority of men and women do not realise that we can repair black / grey textured bumpers, inserts and trims. Various carmakers use different strategies of attaching these plastic bumper covers.

I am reading this very inspiring book by Donald Miller called A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. I have not completed it yet, so I can't give a full review on it. What I can say though is that his raw style of writing is thoroughly enjoyable to me, and I find myself wanting to hide in the bathtub – I don't need any water, just no children – in order to finish it.
After yesterday's ordeal with my children, I remembered a wonderful paragraph I had read, and I have since gone back to it again. I would like to share it with you.
"If you watched a movie about a guy who wanted a Volvo and worked for years to get it, you wouldn't cry at the end when he drove off the lot, testing the windshield wipers. You wouldn't tell your friends you saw a beautiful movie or go home and put a record on to think about the story you'd seen. The truth is, you wouldn't remember that movie a week later, except you'd feel robbed and want your money back. Nobody cries at the end of the movie about a guy who wants a Volvo.
But we spend years actually living those stories, and expect our live to fell meaningful. The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either."
The truth is, I went to bed, yesterday, with the good intentions of waking up and living a meaningful story – a story full of all those things I knew I wanted yesterday – love, laughter, trust. I was going to wake up and be committed to what I was doing (not go back to bed wishing I was somewhere else.) When I woke up this morning, though, this is what I saw when I looked out our kitchen window:
and I tell you what, it took every ounce of strength I had not to want to hide away under my covers and dream of a Mothers Day Vacation on some beach somewhere.
I remembered though, that I wanted to be committed to at least not hiding under my blankets and living a more interesting story, so I got up to look through some pictures that might encourage me that life was warm and fuzzy somewhere. I soon came across some recent pictures I took of a graduating senior. The deep blue color of her eyes reminded me of the ocean that I had been dreaming about, and so I wanted to share them with you – as I way to warm up your day. Here, you go, enjoy the sneak peak of your great senior pictures, while I go play with my kids.

SeaDoc Society debuts video series about the Salish Sea Jan. 9
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Explore the Pacific Northwest's most amazing ecosystem with wildlife veterinarian Joe Gaydos and Team SeaDoc in their new video series "Salish Sea Wild". The series begins this month on YouTube.
SeaDoc Society press release says, "Traveling from the salmon streams born in snow-capped mountains to the rich upwellings of the Pacific Ocean, our team will encounter the wildlife—the iconic orcas, giant octopus, ancient rockfish, precocious sea lions, and the bears, seabirds and other captivating creatures—that depend on this diverse environment."
"We'll partner with the scientists advancing our knowledge of these natural wonders and learn how we can all work to preserve our precious emerald sea. It's going to be fun, fascinating, and oh yeah: it's gonna be wild!"
The series will debut at a free event, "Ocean Night: Diving With Steller Sea Lions" from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, January 9 at Sea View Theatre in Eastsound on Orcas Island.
Stellers are the world's largest species of sea lion. Early observers called them sea lions because the males grow large, furry manes, but when we compare these top predators to land animals, we think of them as the grizzlies of the sea. Join us for a night in celebration of all things Steller, including the debut of our Salish Sea Wild series (check out our teaser video), which features Team SeaDoc diving with dozens of these magnificent creatures. Here's a clip from our dive off Hornby Island. We'll have Joe Gaydos, Bob Friel and others on stage to take you on this adventure.
This event is FREE and family-friendly. Concessions and bar will be open. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the video starts at 7 p.m. and will be over by 8 p.m..
Sponsors: Dean and Audrey Stupke, Jim and Kathy Youngren, Barbara Brown, Barbara Bently, West Sound Marina, The Averna Family (Deer Harbor Charters), Madrona Inn Bar & Grill, Shearwater Kayak Tours, San Juan County Marine Resources Committee.

Make sure you don't have any romaine lettuce on your family's table this Thanksgiving. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is warning Americans to avoid that particular type of lettuce because of concerns over a new outbreak of E. coli.
The agency is "advising that U.S. consumers not eat any romaine lettuce, and retailers and restaurants not serve or sell any, until we learn more about the outbreak," CDC officials said in a released statement.
"This investigation is ongoing and the advice will be updated as more information is available," they added.
Since Oct. 8, at least 32 people in 11 states have become ill with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli 0157:H7, a common source of food poisoning. Thirteen of those people have been hospitalized, including one who developed kidney failure. No deaths have been reported.
California has had the most cases (10), followed by Michigan (7). Smaller numbers of cases have been reported in Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin.
Canadian officials have also reported 18 cases in two provinces, Ontario and Quebec.
So far, Minnesota appears to have eluded this particular outbreak of E. coli. But the state typically has 160 to 220 cases of E. coli 0157 each year, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.
CDC officials say the E. coli 0157 in the current outbreak has "the same DNA fingerprint" of a strain isolated from ill people in a 2017 outbreak, which was linked to leafy greens in the United States and to romaine lettuce in Canada. In that outbreak, 25 people became ill, and one died. Officials were unable to identify the specific source of that outbreak, although they believe some kind of "leafy greens" was probably responsible.
The recently reported cases are not, however, related to last spring's multistate outbreak of E. coli 0157, which was eventually traced back to romaine lettuce produced around Yuma, Arizona. In that outbreak, at least 201 people became ill and five died.
Toss and wash
Health officials have linked the current E. coli outbreak to romaine lettuce, but they have yet to identify a specific source or distributor of the contaminated lettuce. That's why they are telling people to avoid all romaine lettuce, including whole heads, hearts of romaine, bags and boxes of precut lettuce, and any salad mix that contains romaine (such as baby romaine, spring mix and Caesar salad).
If you don't know what type of lettuce you have in your kitchen, just throw it away, the agency adds.
You should also toss out any romaine lettuce left over from meals you have already eaten, even if no one got sick.
Then, once you have removed the lettuce from your refrigerator, wash and sanitize any drawers or shelves on which the lettuce was stored.
Recognizing the symptoms
Most people start feeling sick from an E. coli infection two to eight days after eating contaminated food. The symptoms vary from person to person, but include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody) and vomiting.
E. coli infections can be mild, and people typically recover within five to seven days. But the illness can also be severe and even life-threatening, particularly for young children or the elderly.
Up to 10 percent of people diagnosed with E. coli 0157 develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which occurs when the bacteria destroys red blood cells. The symptoms of HUS — less frequent urination, severe fatigue, and a loss of "pinkness" in the cheeks and inside the lower eyelids — tend to develop about seven days after the person first becomes ill. That's often when the diarrhea is improving, so people may not realize at first that they are getting sicker, not better.
The CDC advises people to contact their health care provider if they have diarrhea that lasts for more than three days or is accompanied by high fever, blood in the stool, or so much vomiting that they can't keep liquids down, and pass very little urine.
FMI: You can read the CDC's "Food Safety Alert" regarding romaine lettuce on the agency's website. For more information about E. coli infections of all types, go to the Minnesota Department of Health's website.

Lately, a lot of folks who care about me have been telling me to slow down. I emerged triumphantly from winter, flung myself into spring, jumped into some beautiful projects, and then I overdid it and got a sinus infection. The more I speak with people, the more I realize how familiar this script is to folks in our culture. I think there is so much pressure to accomplish as much as possible in the shortest amount of time possible, that "burn out" has become as common a phrase as "chill out."
This past week, I've finally realized that I may be hooked on having too much going on. I've always known I loved getting lots done and tackling big projects. I've always had a ton of different passions. And I've always known that meditating, especially just sitting in silent stillness, is hard for me. But I didn't quite realize how addicted I was to the busyness of my days until I had a chance to slow down, and didn't like it. You see, we've been growing quickly at Budo Mountain and I spent the last few weeks playing catch up and wearing multiple hats in the business, as well as mothering our four kids and running our home! There were some sleepless nights for sure – and sometimes when building a project, that's just par for the course. But once things had settled down and our stellar staff was all in place, I still felt the need to pile on more – it was like I couldn't just rest!
Maybe it's because a part of me knows that not everyone has that space to breathe at all. Some people are stuck in a system right now where there is no end in sight to the overwhelming, excessive workload. There's a gratitude for my own spaciousness, but also guilt. Eating breakfast today, I realized it's that same guilt as having enough to eat today while others in the world go hungry. Should I not eat it? Of course not! I should eat it with immense gratitude, and use this nourishment to fuel me to go on and do meaningful work, to try to make the world a better place. In the same vein, becoming a workaholic is not going to help me serve the world better than taking care of and pacing myself.
Sometimes, it takes an illness to bring us the awareness we need of our own unhealthy patterns. But maybe, if we pay attention well enough, we don't need those in-your-face messages as often. Hopefully, if you too are struggling to slow down, this blog post can be your subtle signal to take that necessary time for yourself and shift things in your life to a more sustainable pace. After all, there are a lot of other things you could be looking at right now. Maybe you're here, reading this, for that very reason.
Here on Budo Mountain, we have been talking about having the "Awareness of the Wind." It's a great, windy month to get above our busyness and get a new perspective – in martial arts and in life!
Kids – be sure to check out the new Special Mission! If you're a member, you get to peak at the mission for the week ahead on the Member's Site Here (use your Password A)! We also have lots of these videos up for all kids to enjoy on our YouTube Channel, Here!
Thanks for reading. See you in the dojo!

ACC Barnstorming: Local stars shine against ACC stars
Jeffrey Taylor, standing at 6-foot-5, took one glance at the ACC basketball all-stars as they walked into the gymnasium at The Epiphany School of Global Studies.
"Man, those boys are big," said Taylor, a senior forward on New Bern's basketball team.
A group of 15 assembled high school basketball players got an opportunity to showcase their talents against some ACC stars on Friday evening in the ACC Barnstorming event.
"I feel like if I do good against Division I players, I should be in my own comfort zone when I play in college," said Taylor, who signed to play in college at Lenoir Community College.
Taylor scored eight points as the local players lost to the ACC All-Stars, 84-79.
D.J. Lewis, from Pamlico, and Jones Senior's K.D. McCall also added eight points.
The team was coached by Pamlico head man Earl Sadler, who brought along assistant Jonathan Mason and Pamlico girls' coach April Rose.
Sadler wanted his team to run the four-corners offense, a style ACC All-Star coach Phil Ford perfected while at North Carolina in the 1970s.
Most of the players didn't know much about Ford's history. Ford is second all-time in scoring at North Carolina.
"They went out and had fun and competed against some of the players in the ACC," Sadler said. "They've been looking forward to it. We gave them a good show."
Taylor wowed the crowd with a reverse jam during the halftime slam dunk competition. He was a hit with a section of the crowd who cheered for him during warm-ups.
"If feels good, but honestly I just see them (the ACC players) as another person. I'm just playing ball like everybody else," Taylor said.
Havelock's Maurice Harris, West Craven's James Choyce and Kylikke Green and Pamlico's Arthur Randall all contributed six points apiece. Pamlico's David Resto had two slam dunks.
West Craven girls' basketball star Jamie Cherry, a North Carolina recruit, was involved in a 3-point shootout with UNC's Leslie McDonald.
Cherry, North Carolina's second all-time leading scorer in girls' basketball, made 4-of-5 in the second round of the competition. She lost to McDonald on a sudden death final round.
"It's a great event. It's giving the fans something to see and bringing some excitement," Cherry said. "It's great to go up against some of the great shooters and being on the same court with them."
The local stars, most of them playing on the same team for the first time, gave it their all against some of the ACC's best.
"This is something they are going to tell their grandchildren," Sadler said.

ACC Barnstorming Tour Stops in New Bern
It was an ACC basketball fans paradise at Epiphany School in New Bern on Friday as seniors from our state's biggest colleges stormed into town.
From Michael Jordan to Tyler Hansbrough, all the greats participate in the ACC Barnstorming Tour. Back in the day, Eastern North Carolina native Phil Ford even took part in the event. Tonight he was back, this time as a coach.
Ford, from nearby Rocky Mount, got the biggest ovation during introductions. When the game tipped off the spotlight moved over to the ACC seniors.
North Carolina's Leslie McDonald, Duke's Josh Hairston and Tyler Thornton, NC State's Jordan Vandenburg and Travis McKie from Wake Forest were some of the notables on hand.
The seniors played a pick up game against a group of players from local high schools, then they participated in a dunk contest and 3 point competition.
Coach Phil Ford says it's truly a unique experience.

Playing the game with heart
When a referee drills a trey mid-game, it's safe to say the competiveness from said basketball contest probably never existed.
How about the children occupying the baseline seats subbing in for free throw shooters, arunning clock or, most overtly, senior stars from the state's Atlantic Coast Conferencebasketball programs squaring up against high school seniors.
Two Jones Senior guards were on the roster to compete against college players on the last stop of the 2014 ACC Barnstorming Tour, which was held at The Epiphany School in New Bern Friday night. Fifteen high school seniors competed, and Earl Sadler of Pamlico coached the team.
UNC legend Phil Fordmanned the sidelinefor the ACC guys who — easily — cruised to a 84-79 win.
But it wasn't about the competition for the group of young ballers hooping on the same court as some of their favorite players from the programs they've watched on television for years.
Trojan seniors K.D. McCall and Marcus Staten found a unique treasure in the rare experience.
Staten, a Duke University basketball fan, took light trash talk from two of his favorite players from the school: Andre Dawkins and Tyler Thornton.
"They were like, 'Shoot it, shoot, you got it,' or 'Don't come in here,' " Staten said. "We were going back and forth and they can really shoot the ball. I was watching how they shoot the ball and can take something from them. Andre was a real cool guy. He told me I was good, and he said I've got enough to play ball at D-II, D-I.
"He said I just have to pursue myself."
Staten had eight points, four rebounds and an assist in the effort to display his skills before the ACC All-Stars.
He entered the game guarding 6-foot-5 UNC guard Leslie McDonaldwith a smile on his face. While McDonald had 15 points and was three-of-seven from behind the arc, Staten pressured the long ball as best he could: McDonald missed his first 3-pointer against Staten.
"It felt good going up against him," Staten said of his UNC matchup, "But he worked me, I'm tired."
While Pamlico and Havelock names dominated the high school All-Star roster, Staten did have a familiar face on the court with him. He competed alongside teammate K.D. McCall, an All- Free Press First Team selection.
McCall had eight points and tied with Pamlico's David Resto for the game-high seven rebounds, working for each and every one. Duke's Josh Hairston grabbed a team-high six boards.
With the ACC All-Stars leading the entire way, the younger seniors did cut it close. They were down by as few as four in the second half, getting Ford into in the game as he asked, "Is that score right?"
McCall trimmed the deficit to six with 6:02 left in the game after dribbling behind the back on a breakaway, finishing the drive with a finger roll to the basket.
He also had his piece of McDonald, having what looked to be an earnest exchange after the UNC star put his arm around McCall during a free throw.
"I asked him was he going to the NBA," McCall said. "He said he was, he gotta talk to his agent and see what he has to do. Oh yeah, and I asked him for his socks he had on, too."
McCall said the experience helped build his own game and prepared him for the possibility of college basketball.
McDonald said the ACC stars were no doubt going to win on the scoreboard, but the group of college basketball seniors gave the youth behind them invaluable memories.
"(It) just gives them the opportunity to meet some of the primary players, being able to see them face up and the experience them up close," McDonald said of the All-Star event. "I think it's a big deal. It's a good atmosphere. Of course, we knew we were going to win regardless, but it's just a good atmosphere to play in."
The playful air showed as the ACC seniors wrapped up the Barnstorming Tour on Friday.
"The ACC All-Stars could have scored a lot more than 84 points if they wanted to," Sadler said. "I think part of it is just being a part of something for the community and understanding it's not about winning or losing. I think the guys realized that tonight, and they were playing for the right reasons: to give the kids a good time."

ACC stars steal show in Barnstorming game
Some of the best players in the ACC took center stage in front of a packed house at East Surry High School on Thursday night in the 36th-annual Barnstorming Tour.
ACC Player of the Year and NBA prospect T.J. Warren of N.C. State headlined an ACC All-Star lineup that also featured 7-foot Jordan Vandenburg of N.C. State, UNC's Leslie McDonald, and Duke's Tyler Thornton and Josh Hairston.
The ACC team, coached by UNC great Phil Ford, defeated the Surry County All-Stars 168-100. Surry's team, which had players from East Surry, Mount Airy, North Surry, Surry Central, West Stokes and North Stokes, hung around for a while early thanks to its outside shooting.
Both sides of the bleachers were full of fans — many of which were decked out in their favorite ACC team's color.
Area star Scott Meredith won the 3-point contest at halftime. Zach Wilmoth of Surry Central had a good showing in the dunk contest, but the winner was Wake Forest's Travis McKie.
Warren, the ACC's leading scorer this season as a sophomore, recently declared his eligibility for the NBA Draft in June. He played sparingly in the game. The biggest roar from the crowd came when former Mount Airy standout Wade Moody's name was announced in the ACC All-Star lineup.
Moody, who walked on at North Carolina, saw a solid amount of playing time, hit a few buckets in the game and participated in the 3-point contest.
In a game that had a Harlem Globetrotters-type atmosphere, the All-Star players treated fans to an array of alley-oop dunks and razzle-dazzle play. Referees got involved in the game — one made a layup and another hit a 3-pointer. Another had an assist to an ACC player for a layup. If a foul was committed, the refs or players would grab an unsuspecting fan out of the bleachers to attempt the free throw.
East Surry Principal Diane Beane was one of the lucky fans picked to shoot during the second half. She knocked down the free throw to the delight of the crowd.
After the game, players and coaches signed autographs and had photos taken with fans of all ages.
The tour's next stop is Person High School tonight, then the All-Stars finish up at Triton High on April 23 and Epiphany School on April 25.

ACC storms through West Caldwell
Three pointer after three pointer, dunk after dunk; the ACC All-Stars proved exactly why they are the ACC All-Stars.
It didn't last long, but the West Caldwell All-Stars did have an early 5-0 lead over the ACC. That was until the ACC Player of the Year TJ Warren (N.C. State) and others began to heat up from behind the arc, ultimately leading to a 144-126 victory over the West Caldwell All-Stars at the ACC Barnstorming Tour on Friday night in Gamewell.
Once the ACC stars started knocking down shots, they became unstoppable. However, the former Warriors kept pace thanks to their two sharpshooters Stoney Polite and Landon Bowers.
"It's great for a lot of people to see these guys that played at West Caldwell, that maybe they never got to see before," said West Caldwell Athletic Director Stephen McMasters. "Then to get these ACC guys here in the community is not something you see every day or even every year. It was a great night here at West Caldwell."
While both teams were their to win a basketball game, the ACC Barnstorming Tour is about a lot more than just winning a game.
"It's a lot of fun," said UNC senior Leslie McDonald. "The big thing is a lot of kids and people here aren't able to come to the Smith Center or Cameron (Indoor Stadium) or buy a ticket. It's just fun for us to come to their environment at a local high school and just play, and they can come and watch."
ACC fans got a whole new perspective on ACC basketball on Friday night at West Caldwell. Some of their favorite players were now teammates with some of their most hated player. However, from an ACC point of view, it's all just fun and games.
"We've been going against each other all year and now we're on the same team," Duke's Josh Hairston said. "It's really a blessing to be able to play with all these guys."
McDonald had plans to win the three-point contest at halftime, however, Polite (2006 West Caldwell graduate) had other plans. Polite hit four of his five shots in the contest, while McDonald hit just two. In the dunk contest, it was Duke's Andre Dawkins taking home the title when he took the ball off his own bounce pass and turned into a reverse jam.
Rounding out the West Caldwell roster with Polite and Bowers were Brandon Dula, Jeremy Harper, CJ Genwright, James Watts and Jacob Lail.

Behind the scenes with 'N Sync's No. 1 video
EW.com lets you know what you will and won't see on the hit tape
by Craig Seymour
'N Sync's "Live From Madison Square Garden" earns the top spot on Billboard's "Top Music Videos" chart this week. And the timing couldn't be better for the competitive fivesome: Their arch rivals, the Backstreet Boys, are sure to have the No. 1 album later this month when their new set, "Black and Blue," is released (Tuesday, Nov. 21). But for now, at least, Justin & Co. have the chart spotlight to themselves. Their hit video was taped at Madison Square Garden in New York City in August and broadcast live on HBO.
EW.com was there for the show and here's what we saw:
'N Sync's concert offered a winning mix of sweet teen boy singing (the tuneful tag team of Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez), randy dance moves (humpy crotch thrusts and "back that ass up" bunny hops), and the booming electro thump of the group's new tunes, which were well suited for supersizing to arena proportions. Here's a look at the show's high and low points, along with some things you won't see at home.
What You Won't See, I The crowd booing just minutes before airtime after an announcer told them not to wave banners during the show. (Sample Banner: "JC is my 'Space Cowboy"')
What You Won't See, II The message "Flashlights Now!" that came across the jumbo screen before HBO panned to the illuminated crowd
Best Tune That jaunty R&B ditty "It Makes Me Ill." (Although we could've done without the too obvious hospital setup.)
Worst Tune That spiritually arrogant treacle "(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You." (You wish.)
Most Charismatic Member Who's Not JC or Justin Joey Fatone, who ably commanded a brief solo on "I Thought She Knew"
Least Charismatic Member Who's Not Chris Kirkpatrick There is no less charismatic member than Chris Kirkpatrick. (See "I Drive Myself Crazy.")
Shiniest Props Justin's sequined 'do rags
Scariest Prop The massive John Wayne Gacy looking clown face that issued a warning to competing boy bands: "Everybody can have their moment in the spotlight… [but] we're here to stay." (If it comes from the clown, it must be true.)
Mob Scene You Will See The gaggle of gals who won the chance to dance on stage. (They should've won some choreography lessons, too.)
Mob Scene You Won't See The anxious parents massed outside the venue
Riskiest Move That Worked Justin's surprisingly competent human beat box
Riskiest Move That Didn't Work JC's shiny red butt hugging pants. (Besides, Carmen Electra needs them back.)
Most Contrived Moment The "TRL" spoof where the audience gets to choose which song the guys perform next. The choices? Three nursery rhymes and "Tearin' Up My Heart."
Most Honest Moment Their unironic cover of Johnny Kemp's "Just Got Paid"

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the deadline for orders to be delivered by Move-In Day?
In order to ensure that the product is in your room when you move in, we must have received your order by July 25, 2019 through the Campus Ready Program link.
We are in the works to bring Campus Ready to campus during Move-In Day Weekend – more details will follow about a location on campus if you are in need of last minute items for your room.
If you are an early arrival to campus (moving in prior to the official Move-In Day Weekend), please notify Marquis Jiles via email at [email protected] so we can make sure to get things to your room for your specific arrival date. This is generally our student athletes who have to arrive early to campus for practice for fall sports. If you are student with an early arrival, please let us know!
I made a mistake on my order. What can I do?
Contact Customer Service with Bed Bath & Beyond to correct your order, have this done prior to July 25th, 2019 to ensure your order is correct but still arrives on time to campus to be waiting in your room on Move-In Day.
I do not live on campus. Can I order from Marketplace or Campus Ready Program?
If your are living off-campus, you can order anything from the Campus Ready Program. To ensure it is delivered to a specific location, just change the shipping information to reflect your specific off-campus location, and it will be delivered to that location.
If you are off-campus, you are not permitted to order from such vendors as RT London or any of the furniture, as that is intended for on-campus residents only.
I have questions about my linens. Who do I speak with?
Linens are now offered through our Campus Ready Program with Bed Bath & Beyond.
Please make sure to order Twin XL Long for sheets and other bed necessities.
If you have any other questions reach out to the Residence Director of your hall or The Office of Residence Life
Where do I pick up my order?
Your order through the Campus Ready Program with Bed Bath & Beyond will be delivered AND waiting in your room when you move to campus if you order before the deadline! If you are off-campus, it can be shipped to your off-campus location.
Am I able to rent microfridges?
All microfridges through the Campus Ready program are purchase-to-own. Belmont does not partner to have a rental program. Belmont does offer a summer storage partnership with the UPS Store, which has a College Storage Program. In the late spring semester, they will be in the halls providing that service if you need it. So, if you are contemplating buying a fridge, but don't want to haul it home each semester, consider our UPS College Storage Program.
You can contact our on-campus UPS Store specifically about this program if you have further questions.
How do I know what products meet Residence Life guidelines
The Campus Ready Program has provided a list entitled "School Information" on the page as a guide to help ensure your products are in compliance with Belmont University Office of Residence Life Policies. If you end up ordering an item that is found to be in violation, you are able to return it to any Bed Bath & Beyond Store for a refund. If this doesn't occur, then the item could be confiscated. We will denote if you have an item in your order that is in violation of our policies.
The full list of what is allowed and not allowed in Belmont Residence Halls is available on our website here.

The reason that eggs are rarely frozen unless fertilized is that they do not thaw well. The successful thaw rate for fertilized eggs (pre-embryos) is up to 95%, depending on the skill of the embryologist who originally freezes it. Unfertilized eggs which have been frozen rarely become babies when later thawed and fertilized.
It is so rare that a frozen, unfertilized egg can become a baby that the total number of children born from this method worldwide is 200. Compare this to the three MILLION babies born through IVF in the 25 years since the method was first used.
Now a baby has been born from an egg which was frozen, then thawed and fertilized by sperm which had also been frozen. The patient who had her baby this way is Adrienne Domasin. She received free IVF treatment in exchange for being part of the study attempting to achieve a pregnancy from frozen eggs and frozen sperm.
"Egg freezing traditionally has been reserved for women who suffered from illnesses that might leave them infertile and has a low success rate. But there has been recent demand for the procedure by women in their 30s who want to have children in the future but are afraid they will be too old to conceive the traditional way, said Dr. Jane Frederick, who oversaw Domasin's fertility treatment.
The low viability of frozen eggs is due, in part, to ice crystals that can damage the egg's structure, though freezing sperm has been done for decades, said Richard Paulson, a professor of reproductive medicine at USC.
There have been about 200 documented births from frozen eggs worldwide, Paulson said. But he had not heard of other cases of frozen egg/frozen sperm conceptions. The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics reported one case last year in Australia."
