My research activities focus on understanding ways that osteoporotic fractures affect people and trying to learn ways to reduce their impact on affected individuals and prevent further fractures. I have worked with patient with hip and vertebral fractures, gaining insight into the impairments such fractures cause. Also we have learned that a hip fracture is a major risk factor for subsequent fractures after the initial hip fracture. Our group completed a randomized, placebo-controlled trial that we designed with Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation showing, that an annual infusion of a 5mg of the bisphosphonate zoledronic acid reduced subsequent fractures after a surgical procedure for a hip fracture by 35% when compared to a place infusion (New England Journal of Medicine, 11-1-07). In this study we also observed a 28% reduction in death in the zoledronic acid treated patients. Other research groups have shown that oral bisphosphonates also reduce mortality in patients with osteoporosis. Currently, we, with a number of collaborators, are conducting both animal and human studies to better understand this beneficial effect upon mortality.\nIn other work, our group tries to understand how other diseases such as strokes and spinal cord injury, and medications such as anticonvulsants place patients at risk for fractures. As we understand the epidemiology of these types of fractures, we plan to develop intervention trials to test whether we can reduce the occurrence of these fractures.\nIn addition to the above described work our group has help design and conduct a number of phase 1,2 and 3 clinical trials in Paget's disease of Bone and osteoporosis.\nLee, RH, Sloane, R, Pieper, C, Lyles, KW, Adler, RA, Van Houtven, C, LaFleur, J, and Colón-Emeric, C.

A CyberKnife is a robotically controlled irradiation tool which allows stereotatic radio surgery to be performed. It is the application of very small volumes of doses of very high radiation into the human body. It provides a non-invasive alternative to the classical surgery applied to both malignant and non-malignant tumours throughout the entire body (brain, spine, lungs, liver, pancreas and prostate). In order to deliver such high radiation doses, the CyberKnife is equipped with a light linear accelerator located on the robotic arm with a six-degree freedom of movement. The CyberKnife is the only such robotic irradiation device in the world. The healing dose is applied painlessly and it allows for a non-surgical treatment for patients whose tumours cannot be operated on by conventional means.\nHow does the CyberKnife heal?\nThe device is composed of hundreds of thin radiation beams with extreme accuracy and directs them to a pre-defined target. Unlike other irradiation tools, the CyberKnife is able to reflect any real time corrections – this means that it is capable of modifying the targeting of the tumour during the treatment process meaning that this treatment is also suitable for moving targets. Nearly 100 000 patients around the world have already benefited from treatment by this exceptional tool.\nWhat, exactly, can be treated by a CyberKnife?\nCyberknife treatment is usually applied in cases where the tumours are small in size and number. Typical indications for CyberKnife treatment are brain tumours and metastasis, small lung, spine, liver, pancreas and prostate tumours. The CyberKnife is also involved in the treatment of non-malignant diseases, such as arteriovenous malformations (AVM) or trigeminal neuralgia, which cannot be treated by the application of standard medications.\nHow do I know if CyberKnife treatment is suitable for me?\nWhat are the main benefits of CyberKnife treatment?\nAbove all, the intervention is non-invasive. Cyberknife treatment is based on the application of ionizing irradiation which destroys cancer cells. The damaged tumour cells, unlike the cells forming healthy tissue, are not able to regenerate completely, which makes it possible to remove the tumour tissue without the need for surgery.\nThe treatment is also painless, mainly because the ionizing irradiation is applied from a previously determined distance.\nThere is no need of anaesthesia: As the intervention is non-invasive, there is no need to apply anaesthesia and shortly after the treatment is completed, patients are able to get back to their day-to-day lives.\nTreatment is an outpatient procedure: as the treatment in non-invasive, there is no need to hospitalize the patient and the treatment can thus be preformed at a pre-agreed time.\nThe overall short duration of treatment: the device applies high doses of radiation to the target area with maximum possible accuracy, therefore the treatment period is shortened from weeks to days.\nWhat can I expect before and during CyberKnife treatment?\nBefore the treatment the patient must undergo an investigation on planning tomography device (CT) which creates an image of the internal anatomy of the entire body. The size and shape of the tumour is projected into the series of profiles, which can then allow the exact mapping of the tumour itself together with its close surroundings. In some cases, special procedures are followed before planning tomography examination in order to increase the efficiency of the treatment (e.g. introduction of a contrast substance into the surrounding areas of prostate tumours or the creation of a fixation mask in cases where there is a tumour in the cerebral area).\nAfter the definition of the target volume for particular CT profiles, an irradiation plan is developed, which defines the number of irradiated fields, the size of the beam and the intensity of particular fields. Each plan goes through an approval process where a team of physicians and physicists evaluate the quality of the given irradiation plan. After their approval, the treatment can commence.\nThe treatment is applied to the patient in the same corporal position as the CT examination – the patient lies on their back as the various fixation tools and pads are applied, in order to minimise discomfort. The treatment process can be time-consuming and therefore patient comfort is one of our top priorities. The healing application usually takes from 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the type and size of the tumour(s). The treatment time is approximate and depends on other factors such as the proper preparation before the treatment, regular breathing and above all on the patient’s cooperation with the CyberKnife team. All precautions and procedures are explained to the patients by their attending physician.\nBefore the treatment commences, the correct targeting must be verified in order to ensure the same positioning that was in place during the CT examination. The pre-treatment preparation is therefore approximately half of all time spent by the patient in our department. After the exact positioning is complete, the treatment commences. During the application, the robotic shoulder will change its position and move around the patient so that the healing dose can be applied according to the approved plan. See video reference for more detail. During the treatment, the position of tumour is continually checked – visual check on X ray images, monitoring of breathing cycle, targeting with the help of implanted “golden grains”, etc.).\nWhy are “golden grains” implanted before the treatment?\nSome tumours (pancreatic, liver and prostate) are not visible to the CyberKnife. In order that the robot is able to follow the target in real time, “golden grains” must be implanted into certain organs, (under ultrasound or CT supervision). These grains are then traced and followed by the Cyberknife during the irradiation process. Thus, the maximum possible accuracy is ensured even for poorly visible or detectable tumours.\nWhat adverse effects can I expect during or after the treatment?\nMost patients suffer from adverse effects either during or after the treatment. However, some side effects can occur depending on what area has been treated, these would be more likely to occur after the treatment is over. A specialist will explain the possible side-effects to you and will also explain how to reduce or influence them.\nHow often do I have to undergo CyberKnife treatment and when will I notice the results?\nThe frequency of treatment procedures depends on the quantity of the dose necessary to destroy the tumour cells and also on the location of the tumour. Some tumours can only be irradiated once whereas, in other cases, the dose can be administered in 3-5 sub- doses. Sometimes, the procedures are held on a daily basis, sometimes every second day. Nevertheless, the treatment period never exceeds ten days.\nAlthough the resulting effect may appear within days, it usually takes weeks or months. After completion of the treatment you must undergo follow-up examinations for CT tomography, magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) or other diagnostic tools depending on the affected location.\nWhat is the difference between CyberKnife and standard irradiation?\nIn standard radiotherapy a wide beam of irradiation is applied, this often affects larger volumes of tissue. These beams can be targeted with an accuracy of 3-5 mm, which is sufficient for most indications. In order to avoid undesired effects and injuries to the patient, the treatment must be distributed in a higher number (25-40) of smaller doses.\nCyberKnife radio surgery utilizes a thin beam of high dose irradiation with extreme accuracy and guarantees minimum damage to surrounding tissue. CyberKnife applies large number of thin beams of irradiation targeted to the desired volume with maximum accuracy. Due to the extreme accuracy of the device it is possible to apply a high dosage in just 1 – 5 treatment sessions. |

How to measure the success of Strawberry Jam?\nI uploaded it, blogged about it, tweeted it, sent a few e-mails. Now what? How can I really measure its impact? How can I know if it is any good?\nEven the quantitative measurement is hard but let's try that for now.\nI can look at the download counter.\nFor the previous package that was called "strawberry-plus-padre-0.63.msi" we had an average of 50 downloads/day through the past 11 months.\nThe official Strawberry Perl had about 800 downloads/day since the latest release on 19 May. It came out in 3 flavors, the division is approximately 55 - 670 - 75 for 5.12.3.0-64bit - 5.12.3.0-32bit - 5.10.1.4-32bit respectively.\nv3 of Padre on Strawberry was uploaded 4 days ago and there were 340 downloads since then. An average of 85 / day. It is certainly some increase compared to the historical numbers but it will flatten out. A month from now we will see clearer.\nUnfortunately "download" does not mean "keeps using" but I think this is the best we can get today.\nWe might offer some server side service for this package that will encourage people to register. That might provide us with better numbers.\nHow else could I measure the success than a larger number of downloads? And what could be described as success?\nLet's say I'd be happy to see an overall increase of "plain" Strawberry + Padre-on-Strawberry.\nLast time I suggested to call it Strawberry with cream but several people pointed out that there is a vim package which is called Cream. So that's not good.\nThen someone on Reddit suggested Strawberry Jam. That sound like a good idea. Both as the food and as in Jam Session.\nWhere all the CPAN modules play together.\nSounds OK but maybe I need something totally unrelated to Strawberries and Perl. |

SHARK TOOF takes an in-depth look at the ambitious and versatile street artist Shark Toof, best known for his emblematic visual calling card: a wheat pasted, hand drawn shark head, which the artist describes as the "perfect culmination of all my angst, protest, strength and optimism." Like a graffiti tag, Shark Toof has established the image as a kind of logo, deeply synonymous with the spirit and subtext of his body of work. Calling to mind the fictionalized and fantastic stylized gore of old horror movies or underground comix, Shark Toof's apocalyptic world is graced with a sublime and dark beauty. Using acrylic, spray paint, and house paint on distressed or reclaimed wood, Shark Toof's bold, brash lines conveys a kind of frenzied, graphic energy and chiaroscuro reminiscent of German Expressionism wood block prints and graphic pulp novels alike. |

Diva Tech Talk recently sat down with Linda Lynch, president of KI Technology Group, an IT services provider that helps small and medium-sized businesses grow through the best use of appropriate, cost-effective technology.\nA software programmer, by training, Linda held developer positions at Consumers’ Energy and Burroughs Corporation before joining KI in 1986. She acquired an ownership interest in the company in 1990 and has been president since 1992.\nLinda was instrumental in managing KI Technology Group’s transition from a software company to a full service technology company, now providing diverse outsourced IT services to businesses in the greater Lansing, Michigan region.\nHaving begun by learning classic languages like Fortran and Cobol (“on punch cards,” she laughs, “I guess I am ‘dating’ myself…”), she and her team are always excited about new, transformative technology trends changing the way her customers do business. The top three trends that Linda thinks are currently making significant differences in the business landscape are cloud-based solutions, mobile applications, and the proliferation of computing devices (particularly smart phones) being used by customers for a variety of applications.\nLinda characterizes her best professional skill as the fact that “I can talk in a language that a client can understand” vs. “techspeak”. So it is no surprise that in addition to her role leading KI, Linda is also the author of several books. One of them is the self-published Executive’s Guide to Trouble-Free IT. She describes this labor of love as having taken much longer than she expected. (“I thought it would be 6-8 weeks, but instead from beginning to end, the project took 6 to 8 months!”).\nAdditionally, in collaboration with other technology and business experts, she authored a chapter on IT outsourcing in The Tech Multiplier (available on Amazon).\n“It was an Amazon best seller on the day it launched!” she says, proudly.\nLinda is a strong believer in collaboration, and demonstrates that through constant civic and professional involvement. She characterizes the groups from whom she gets advice and to which she contributes as “very helpful".\nThose professional associations include CompTIA, —where she served on the Board of Directors, the ASCII Group, the CareerQuest Advisory Council, the Rotary Club of Lansing, and The Founding Chapter of the National Association of Career Women — where she served as President. Linda also credits an informal group of 8-10 technology CEO’s as helping her keep her company thriving, by filling in gaps that she perceives she might have. With all of these groups, Linda gives and gets great advice and insight.\n“Together, we are good at everything,” she says.\nLinda does not think that being a woman has seriously hampered her career or her company. While she acknowledges that there are some revenue opportunities that have been harder to get because she may not be in “the old boys’ club,” she philosophically says: “There is plenty of business out there,” so Linda and her team cheerfully pursues it! |

Debs Carter wants to help women share their stories with one another, as she has about her struggles with depression, connecting each other through her amazing organisation The Touch Network.\nIndian visual artist Sravanthi Juluri speaks to ASLI, “my work has been a major source of healing in my life. I never thought my art could actually help women in distress to come out in the open about the abuse they have faced and open up a platform to raise our voices and say no to violence against women”.\nASLI Team member and artist Lisa Reeve talks about having mental illness and using art, “I find art a less threatening way to articulate my thoughts and feelings, it is great therapy and gives me a sense of achievement and productivity”.\nJoyce Savage is on a mission to end stigma associated with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and uses poetry to manage her own mental health.\nArtist Jessica Caudery “Writing, painting and drawing directly and indirectly became a way to express my emotions. It is difficult to say to what extent art has saved my life but it has been a constant positive, something which has perhaps kept me afloat during times of stress, anxiety and mild depression”. |

LONDON – NBA great Clyde Drexler can foresee a league franchise being based in London, maybe even within the next decade.\n“Clyde the Glide,” in the British capital to help promote the first regular-season NBA games to be played in London in March, said Wednesday that basketball has proven itself in Europe and expansion to the continent may be a matter of time.\nThe NBA has played preseason games in London for the past four years, packing fans into the O2 Arena. Late last year, the league decided it was time to emulate the NHL and NFL, both of which have played regular-season games in London.\nThe Toronto Raptors and New Jersey Nets will play a pair of games at the O2 on March 4-5.\nAnd the distance, Drexler said, won’t be a problem for anyone.\nOne way to push the game to the soccer-loving public in Britain is NBA Basketball Week, a series of youth-oriented events that will take place in five cities leading up to the two games.\nAs far as Drexler is concerned, though, the NBA isn’t done making it’s mark in Europe.\nBucks forward Drew Gooden will be sidelined four to six weeks because of lingering problems with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.\nGeneral manager John Hammond said Gooden had treatment on Wednesday in Los Angeles. The injury has cost Gooden 21 games this season, including the last six.\nGooden signed a five-year, $32 million, five-year contract in the offseason and is averaging 10.8 points and 6.5 rebounds.\nThe Oklahoma City Thunder recalled rookie center Cole Aldrich from the NBA development league. Aldrich was averaging 10.2 points and 8.4 rebounds in 19 starts for the Tulsa 66ers. … Utah Jazz star guard Deron Williams will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday night against Houston because of a wrist injury. |
Nomkelemane Langa, a humble rural boy from Nkandla, discovered his talent as a praise poet in the Isulabasha Dancing Pencils Writing Club in Nkandla 10 years ago. He is now praise poet to President Zuma.\nHe was mentored by Khethiwe Khuzwayo who was trained in right brain non judgmental non critical methods by Felicity Keats.\nNomkelemane told Felicity that he was not trained by any particular person to be a praise poet. The gentle supportive approach by Khethiwe in the Isulabasha Dancing Pencils Writing Club helped him to discover his talent as a praise poet.\nAs President Zuma’s personal praise poet, he has been to many varied occasions with the President.\nHe has written a Praise Poem book of 170 pages in English called the Essence of Zuma. This was launched at the Cape Town book Fair in June 2012.\nHis book, Essence of Zuma, is probably the first of its kind to be written in English. This was a hard job as a colleague sat with him, and the English words had to suit what the ancestors wanted . It is 168 pages long.\nAn updated version with many coloured photos is being prepared at present and will be launched in the next few months. Nomkelemane has written another praise poem in isiZulu, also in the form of a Praise Poem. |

I’m trying my best to get these up as fast as possible, but 30 minutes have passed by now and I’m sure you’ve seen the news.\nTravel back a couple hours and we didn’t know if the Royals were getting Brett Phillips or not. Reports seemed iffy, but signs were pointing to it. I was eating the food I had purchased at a QuickTrip (some of the deals in that kitchen…. man, pretzels, pizzas, a variety of different styled hot dogs, like my gosh… what an amazing place) while this was going on, so I tweeted throughout to pass the time.\nIf Brett Phillips and Jorge Lopez are the gets for Moustakas, I think I’d be pretty satisfied.\nWhile not as highly regarded as he used to be, Brett Phillips still serves some decent upside. The strikeouts issues are definitely concerning, but he does enough things well where you could still see his floor being a fourth outfielder type.\nA sixth round pick by the Houston Astros in the 2012 draft out of a Florida high school, Phillips struggled out of the gate to start his professional career, hitting zero home runs his first two seasons. He exploded onto the scene in 2014 though, knocking out 29 doubles, 14 triples, and 17 home runs, while swiping 23 bags on his way to a .310/.375/.529 slashline in 130 games across Low-A and High-A.\nThe in-game power and speed display Phillips put on as a centerfielder skyrocketed him up the prospect rankings, reaching as high as #32 in all of baseball by MLB Pipeline.\nPhillips was dealt in the middle of the 2015 season as part of a package that brought the Astros Mike Fiers and Carlos Gomez. During his time with Milwaukee, consistency with the bat has been an issue, as sudden swing-and-miss issues developed against more advanced pitching. He repeated the AA level in 2016 and turned in a disappointing season, but the Brewers would still force him up to AAA in 2017 where he reestablished some of his prospect status, slashing .305/.377/.567 in 100 games (should mention in a very hitter-friendly park at Colorado Springs). This was enough to give Phillips some time in the big leagues last season, where he impressed in the outfield and slashed .276/.351/.448 in 37 games, racking up five stolen bases and four home runs. Contact was still a big issue though, striking out in 34.7 percent of his plate appearances.\nPhillips has spent the majority of the 2018 season back in AAA with the Brewers employing a crowded bench at the big league level. He’s taken a step back, slashing .240/.331/.411 in 71 games, striking out in 31.4 percent of plate appearances. He’s also seen 15 game with the Brewers big league club.\nThe FanGraphs guys have Phillps pegged as 45 FV guy, which would be borderline top 100 and would be good for top five-ish in the Royals system. He does a lot of things well, owning a cannon of an arm, a solid approach at the plate, decent raw pop, plus-speed and plus skills at all three outfield positions. Sticking in center should be no issue for him.\nThis play right here sums up the arm. Amazing. He barely even set himself. Probably 70-grade, it’s up there with the likes of Seuly Matias and Khalil Lee as the best in the Royals system.\nA skilled fielder with great range and route-running.\nHe yanked this outside pitch and had the strength to push it over the fence for a home run.\nThe stance is pretty upright and normal. The timing and manner of the leg kick are a bit funky. And there’s a lot of pre-swing movement with the bat. Most of strength comes from the upper-half it seems.\nPitchers have simply outsmart Phillips at the big league level. He’ll need to improve upon that and make adjustments to have a chance at becoming something more significant. He’s interesting enough to be one of the Royals more highly rated prospects though. This may be my favorite acquisition of the deadline by the Royals out of their three trades. They did well on this one.\nWhat does 2019 have in store for Brett Phillips? |
We describe the observation of GW170104, a gravitational-wave signal produced by the coalescence of a pair of stellar-mass black holes. The signal was measured on January 4, 2017 at 10 11:58.6 UTC by the twin advanced detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory during their second observing run, with a network signal-to-noise ratio of 13 and a false alarm rate less than 1 in 70 000 years. The inferred component black hole masses are 31.2-6.0+8.4M' and 19.4-5.9+5.3M (at the 90% credible level). The black hole spins are best constrained through measurement of the effective inspiral spin parameter, a mass-weighted combination of the spin components perpendicular to the orbital plane, χeff=-0.12-0.30+0.21. This result implies that spin configurations with both component spins positively aligned with the orbital angular momentum are disfavored. The source luminosity distance is 880-390+450 Mpc corresponding to a redshift of z=0.18-0.07+0.08. We constrain the magnitude of modifications to the gravitational-wave dispersion relation and perform null tests of general relativity. Assuming that gravitons are dispersed in vacuum like massive particles, we bound the graviton mass to mg≤7.7×10-23 eV/c2. In all cases, we find that GW170104 is consistent with general relativity. © 2017 American Physical Society. |

Ocean & Sea Creature Facts to Blow Your Mind Real Tautological Fish Fish Names Cool / Scary Facts About Sea Creatures Photographed for the First Time Weird Animals Washed Up on the Beach A Guide to the Biggest Things in the Ocean Horrifying Found Creatures Wow So Many Nudibranchs! How Smart Are Cephalopods? Remarkable Octopuses Amazing Albino Aquatic Animals Lovely, But No Backbone Stunning Jellyfish What Creature Do You Want to Be? Shark Myths to Unthink Unbelievable Camouflage Beautiful Pics of Sea Squirts The Best Seafood to Eat Stunning Sea Caves Around the World Hey, Looking for Songs About Fish?\nList Rules Vote up the creepiest mugs lurking beneath the waves.\nDo you occasionally enjoy the peace and quiet of a nice day out on the waves? Love the occasional cute sea creature that pops up to say hello when you’re chilling at the beach? Well, then you may have come to the wrong place! Here we’ve collected a list of some of the most disturbing scary sea creatures that roam beneath the waves. We’ve scoured the depths of the deepest waters to find a list of creepy creatures and scary fish that prove that the deep sea and ocean depths are the most horrifying places on Earth.\nYou may think twice about taking up Scuba-diving after getting a load of some of these deep sea fish, who range from weird to terrifying. While some of these guys (or maybe they're gals, who can be sure?), such as the Dumbo octopus, could possibly be considered cute in the right light, others such as the goblin shark are just plain terrifying. Among this collection, you’ll find both deep sea dwellers that have been known to mankind for quite some time, as well as others that were only discovered as recently as the past decade and remain relatively mysterious.\nSo if you’re ready to get a load of what lurks beneath the surface, take a look at some of the most bizarre deep sea creatures the oceans have to offer. We’ve got a wide range of creatures from the harmless to the lethal, all of which sport the wildly bizarre looks that can only be found way beneath the waves. Whether they’re bottom-dwellers or deep sea swimmers, many of these freaky fish have looks that only a mother fish could love.\nThough the creepy looking "Fanfin Seadevil" has a terrifying appearance, it's also almost completely black, which makes it very hard to spot in the deep waters of the ocean. When mating, the males fuse themselves to the females and share the same bloodstreams! And you thought your ex was bad!\nThese scary lookin' dudes, called "Dragonfish," actually start life closer to the surface, due to the fact that their eggs are buoyant. Eventually however, they become capable of producing their own light through a process known as bio-luminescence and descend much deeper into the shadowy depths of the ocean.\nThese evil-looking fish are called "Lancet Fish" and are cannibals, in that they've been known to eat their own kind. The nocturnal predator is rarely seen near the surface however, so little is known about it.\nThe "Goblin Shark" is the sole surviving member of a 125 million year-old family of sharks known as "Mitsukurinidae" and are sometimes referred to as "living fossils." They are very rare and generally found at depths deeper than 330 feet. |

(1) City Budget: Remains a top issue. While the city council is doing a solid job of working within a very limited budget, San Carlos is falling short of providing its residents with all that the city has to offer. Budget shortfalls have resulted in reduced city service hours, building closures such as the Kiwanis Building at Burton Park, improvements have been put on an indefinite hold and Measure U (city sales tax increase) is being put before the voters in an attempt to try and generate additional revenue for the city. Unfortunately, many projects in San Carlos only materialize if they are heavily funded by a Measure or donations. The new city council will be faced with the unenviable task of creating a budget that will one day be able to restore city services and reserve funds for improvements.\n(2) Eastside Transit Village: This is a massive project which includes a proposed 280 apartment units, 30,000 square feet of retail and office space and a new Cal Trans Transit Station. Read more about the project by clicking here. The buildings are projected to be 2-4 story buildings, which should have some impact on the homes on the east side of San Carlos. The city council would be wise to listen to a many of the residents who are not happy with the 1001 Laurel Street project to make sure that similar issues are not duplicated with this proposed project. Finally, when I first saw that 280 apartments were being proposed, my first thought was the impact on our schools. To say that our schools are already overcrowded is an understatement.\n(3) San Carlos Schools: Speaking of schools, if you are one of the many elementary school parents out there wondering if your child is going to be shut out of their assigned school or if the boundary lines for the San Carlos schools are going to be re-drawn, you are not alone. The San Carlos School District simply does not have the money, space or resources to substantially minimize the impacting issues. I think it is naive to believe that there is not going to be some type of major overhaul to the current street/school assignments. Additionally, money is a huge issue for the schools each year. San Carlos is very fortunate to have the fund raising efforts of the San Carlos Education Foundation (SCEF) and the passage of Measure B (parcel tax benefiting San Carlos schools).\n(4) Athletic Field Shortage: The eight year synthetic turf saga seems to be coming to an end, with the city council voting to move forward with the proposal to install synthetic turf at Highlands Park. Even with the proposed synthetic field installed, the city still faces a massive shortage of fields and cannot come anywhere close to satisfying the requests for field space. What many folks don’t realize is that San Carlos did have several more fields at one point in time. However, in the early 1980’s those fields were basically sold off for housing. For instance, the old San Carlos High School had four baseball/softball diamonds and four full sized soccer fields. The new configuration allows for two soccer fields three baseball diamonds. Additionally, San Carlos used to have a field where the homes on La Mesa Drive are currently built. When the population of San Carlos suddenly turned to many young families in the 1990s, the city was caught short on field space and the problem progressed ever since. The decision to install synthetic turf at Highlands is based on the premise that since the city does not have any space to build additional fields, they are trying to maximize the use of the fields they do have.\n(5) Downtown Parking: Feel like driving to downtown San Carlos for lunch? Prepare to circle the block a few times or park quite some distance from your intended destination. Wheeler Plaza (behind the old Foodville location) seems to be the most likely target for additional parking or a parking garage. However, the city appears to have slightly different plans for the plaza. You can find more information on the redevelopment of Wheeler Plaza by clicking here. This is a good news/bad new situation. The good news is that downtown San Carlos has created enough of a buzz to clearly attract the dollars of residents of neighboring cities. The bad news is that without improved parking conditions, downtown merchants will not be able to maximize their customer base.\n(6) High School?: Call it whatever you want, but many long time San Carlans call it the worst move in the history of San Carlos. The decision to tear down San Carlos High School after the Sequoia Union High School District decided to shut the doors has been the achilles heel of San Carlos since the early 1980s. Now, in fairness, hind sight is always 20/20. San Carlos made a considerable amount of money on the Highlands neighborhood. However, now imagine present day San Carlos with its own high school. For those that were not around to ever see San Carlos High School, it was a beautiful campus in a fantastic setting. For the short time that it was around, the school had a wonderful reputation and great traditions. Talk to any former graduates of SC High, and they will tell you what a great experience it was. From a real estate perspective, the high school issue is one of the top, if not the top drawback for families considering moving to San Carlos.\n(7) Recent Crime Wave: For whatever reason, San Carlos has been hit by a recent wave of crime. The White Oaks, Howard Park and Clearfield Park areas have been hit especially hard. These are not violent crimes. Most of the crimes appear to be centered around breaking into cars and vandalism. Parts of White Oaks have took matters into their own hands and formed a Neighborhood Watch group. The cause of the recent wave of crime seems to be a bit of an unknown. Some have speculated that a downturn in the economy may be partly to blame. Whatever the reason, most residents are clearly aware of the increase in crime and are being more proactive with reporting suspicious activity.\n(8) Family Options for Laurel Street: I don’t want to spend too much time on this subject because it was the subject of a blog post about three weeks ago, however, it needs to be noted that San Carlos has a large contigency of families with younger kids, yet lacks many family friendly restaurants downtown. As mentioned, Town and a few of the others do a great job making kids feel welcome, but San Carlos really needs a few options for a less formal dining experience for families. I love Sneakers, but you can only go there so many times. Types of restaurants which would do well would be ones similar to a family style Italian, Jack’s Prime, etc.\n(9) Eastside Development: Many believe that the financial health of San Carlos is directly tied to the redevelopment movement in east San Carlos. There is a major push to persuade tax revenue generating businesses to hang their shingle in east San Carlos. You may have heard about a push for a higher-end hotel, which could impose a city occupancy tax in addition to normal business taxes. Hopefully, the proposed jail is now off the table….not exactly the type of revenue source the city is looking for.\n(10) Real Estate: Of course, you cannot have a Top 10 in San Carlos without discussing the real estate market. The good news is that San Carlos has clearly made a bit of a rebound over the past 2 months. Many properties under the one million dollar mark have gone with multiple offers. Currently, we have only 52 Active Single Family Residences and 37 Single Family Residences which have a Pending status. That is an outstanding ratio.\nI just want to address #3 above (schools). Although certainly the difficulr budget environment remains an issue (as it does for every school district in the state), the San Carlos School District made substantial progress in placing the families who were on the wait list to White Oaks into that school. From a waiting list that once numbered around 70 students, only 16 students were not able to get in to White Oaks at the start of the school year yesterday. The new Superintendent is actively addressing the enrollment process and creating a new system which will hopefully avoid the level of anxiety and uncerainty that happened this year, and any solution could potentially affect boundaries. But in any case, what makes San Carlos special is that it has seven equally excellent schools which make it desirable to live anywhere within the boundaries of the School District. Of course I agree that this success is largely due to the support from our parcel tax measures and the private money raised by SCEF. Unfortunately these approaches are requirements in modern-day California if a community wants top-notch schools.\nThanks, Seth. Well said, and thanks for the additional information.\nRegarding #8 – check out the following restaurant’s website (they were just voted one of the top 10 restaurants by Parents Magazine). These restaurants are very successful in the Midwest and would be a fabulous addition to San Carlos.\nRegarding #8 above, below is a link to a family-friendly, healthy restaurant that would be a great addition to our town. These restaurants are popular in the Midwest and they just became of the of the Top 10 Best Restaurants by Parents Magazine. I have been fortunate enough to have been to a couple of these restaurants and my family loved it. Check out their menu….. |

Did an impromptu upgrade, hopefully things still work.\nOk, I’m Inspired! Now What? |
So true. I too have faced many difficulties. My difficulties have caused me to become much more compassionate and empathetic towards the needs of others. You never know what someone is going through. Be kind always.\nFacing my own difficult times has helped me to understand how infinitely rich and amazing my life is. It’s also taught me that no matter what painful, or difficult times I’ve experienced, there are others who may be facing the same and showing them compassion can help as they face their own difficulties! |
Unlike the last update of archrival Netscape's browser package, which represented a major redesign, the Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 Public Preview makes less than earth-shattering changes. That said, Microsoft did enhance the Search Companion, tweak error reporting and integrate additional online privacy information. You'll also find a new Contacts Bar, Personal Bar, and Media Bar. We hoped for more significant changes, but were pleasantly surprised by the stability of this preview and encountered no problems launching a variety of sites.\nBecause IE6 will be part of the Windows XP OS package, not just a standalone product, the browser features the same colorful interface and icons as the new OS. Despite the complaints about Windows XP's bright interface, we found the change refreshing.\nThe IE6 Search Companion allows you to ferret out info on the Web or on your computer and provides you with a choice of four animated characters as guides. Thought-bubbles pop out of your chosen guide's head and prompt you for natural-language queries. But don't worry, characters are far less pushy than the annoying Clippy, and easily dispatched. We opted for Rover the dog.\nThe new Personal Bar provides a search box, as well as abbreviated MSNBC news, weather, and stock quotes, which you can tailor to your interests. If you've used the Netscape 6 Sidebar, you'll feel right at home with the IE6 Personal Barthey bear a close resemblance to each other. You can also customize your Personal Bar to include links to your favorite sites. The Contacts Bar lets you quickly access your contacts in Outlook or Outlook Express.\nIf you've used MSN Explorer, then the Media Bar will look somewhat familiar as well. Microsoft packs in a media player (which will be Media Player 8.0 in the IE6 final release), which you'll find in the bottom left-hand corner of the browser window. Open the bar and you'll see a list of entertainment, music, movies, and radio selections from WindowsMedia.com (Microsoft entertainment portal), that are accessible with one click. The site offers additional categories you can browse for your favorite music, movies, or other media and then play with the built-in media player. The player can be left in its default position or snapped off to float free of your browser.\nMicrosoft beefed up the way IE handles errors by giving the browser its own Dr. Watson that responds to crashes and automatically links you to a fix or to an article on how to correct the problem. You can also report crashes to Microsoftbut don't expect a response. Eventually this might result in a fix being posted on the company's Web site, so the problem is probably worth reporting if you have a minute.\nAll in all, this public preview provides a promising look of things to come for IE 6. We were impressed by the stability and speed (this beta was much more stable than the Netscape 6 beta), but were a bit disappointed by the meager ration of new features. IE 6 will be worth a look when released in its final form later this year, but don't expect it to have the same impact as its OS counterpart. |
Hi! Thank you so much for having us! We are great and we have been super busy making things happen. How are you?!\nCan you talk to us more about your music video “Do It While We’re Young”?\nWe had a free trip to go to Vegas, so we decided to go and create a video there. We did not plan anything, we just went out, had some drinks, walked around, felt the energy, and then shot some cool footage. It was a really refreshing time to get out of LA and just focus on the art. We shot and edited the video ourselves.\nYes! We are at a weird moment in our generation where things move and change very quickly. If you don’t follow your dreams your life can pass you by. This song is about seizing the moment and living the life you want to live. Whenever we have ideas, we motivator each other to act on them by saying “Do it while you’re young.” And that’s where the lyrics came from, and then the rest of the song just came together from there.\nFun and Freeing. We made the most out of three days in Vegas. We explored the city and shot as much as we could.\nThe single comes off your new album Stereo Diamonds – what’s the story behind the title?\nJonny found a store front with a neon light sign that said “Jewelry Electronics Stereo Diamonds.” We took some photos in front of the pawn shop because it looked really cool. That’s when Jonny ended up giving Lyn Alyson the name Stereo Diamonds. This EP follows Lyn’s rebirth as “Stereo Diamonds”.\nWe like to write about issues everyone can relate too. Living in a city like LA filled with interesting people, there’s never a shortage of inspiration. All you have to do is walk down the street or talk to a stranger to learn something new. Our recording process is frequent and casual. We have our own studio so we are constantly experimenting with sounds. The magic is when we can match the right musical vibes to a lyric idea and then it all comes together.\nHow does your DIY approach translates into your music and lyrics as well? Do you tend to explore themes of freedom in your songs as well?\nYes Freedom allows us to create opportunities for ourselves. To be DIY takes a lot of commitment. We try to motivate ourselves and others not to take the easy way out, and to believe that everything they want they can make happen.\nWhere else did you find the inspiration for the songs and lyrics on this record?\nThe lyrics are something we all say to each other so they are relatable. Our sound comes from listening to a lot of different styles of music and finding a common thread of heavy beats and pretty melodies.\nNothing we can announce now but we plan to play everywhere.\nWhat else is happening next in Paper Chains’ world?\nWe are finishing music videos for the Stereo DiamondsEP and recording new music to be released in the fall. And we’re about to launch an online store on our website with merch and redesigned vintage, which has been a passion of ours for sometime! |

Water is essential to all life on Earth and our water source ultimately depends on the sound functioning of ecosystems. As a water services provider, we have a responsibility to manage water in a sustainable manner and to make sure our activities do not negatively impact the environment and the living organisms within it.\nIn Idaho, where SUEZ is the drinking water provider for the City of Boise and the surrounding area, the necessity to do our job without disturbing the natural environment is critical. One of the wells in the system, called the “Raptor Well,” is located within yards of a California Condor breeding barn, at the World Center for Birds of Prey. The California Condor is one of the world’s rarest birds with only a little over 400 specimens currently living. This majestic raptor can weight up to 26 pounds and have a wingspan as wide as 9.8 feet, making it the largest North American land bird! Despite its impressive size, this bird is critically endangered. As a result of poaching, lead poisoning and habitat destruction throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the once strong population of raptors plummeted to only 22 specimens in 1982. As extinction was looming, a large conservation effort began in the late 1980’s, to reestablish self-sustaining populations of California Condors. The World Center for Birds of Prey (managed by the Peregrine Fund), is today one of the four facilities breeding condors across the United States.\nIn support of the Center’s conservation efforts, we have our Boise employees attend a biodiversity training session, where they are taught the importance of protecting wildlife and more specifically the California Condor. SUEZ management maintains close contact with the Center’s staff, keeping them informed of any scheduled operations at the nearby well. Whenever possible, operations which could impact the Center are scheduled around nesting season.\nOur employees are also given special instructions regarding maintenance at the Raptor Well, such as keeping noise levels to a minimum and paying close attention to the Center’s staff advice.\nSUEZ strives to provide drinking water services to its customers while minimally impacting the surrounding environment. We are proud to partner with the World Center for Birds of Prey, supporting the great conservation work the Peregrine Fund is undertaking to save one of our nation’s most magnificent birds. |

As people set out to find a house to rent, most begin thinking of the typical types of rentals like apartments or condos. These forms of rentals generally are a lot more communal and public (that is to say, they come with a limited level of privacy), come with less outdoor area that belongs solely to you, and are smaller. If by chance you are intending on relocating to 75234, houses for rent are also an option. Plenty of very good reasons exist for looking at houses for rent in 75234—in contrast to apartments or townhomes or even buying a place—and by using the right search tools you`ll be able to efficiently trim down a list of homes and identify the ideal place for you.\nA lot of individuals favor houses for rent in 75234 considering they give you added space, in contrast with the vast majority of apartments or condominiums. Furthermore, rental houses allow for more flexibility with lease terms not any longer than a year (for the most part) and very little responsibility for maintenance and repairs. Every lease document will need to be examined attentively though to make certain you understand all the details, but in most cases, your landlord is going to be the one required to take care of heating, A/C, or other appliance issues, sometimes even have the yard mowed, and so on.\nWhen you search in 75234, houses for rent are seen mainly in outer-lying neighborhoods, versus downtown. Nonetheless, it`s possible to get a great house in the downtown area, assuming you are willing to put forth a little time and effort. Houses for rent in 75234 are a great option for families or those who have a couple of housemates, and they can also reduce the occupant`s cost while offering a wide array of qualities not found in most other forms of housing. Differing from numerous other forms of housing alternatives, houses are disconnected from other homes—they do not share facilities, and often will have some kind of a lawn. Just like a lot of people, you almost certainly want to be in the vicinity of 75234`s major attractions. You needn`t worry, because houses for rent in 75234 are available closeby these areas too.\nRentFinder gives you the ability to quickly get a hold of available houses for rent in 75234 that match your desires.

And yes, meaning, you should set off and view it live in-person, not strictly analyzing pics or video footage sent to you online.\nWhen you do stop by a possible rental, take a good look at how it is kept up. The homeowner is commonly the individual responsible for its overall upkeep and care, so it`s present condition is probably a hint as to just how it`ll be taken care of by the property owner during the time you will be calling that place home. From the street, are the front or back yard and shrubbery, bushes or greenery (if any) in great overall condition? Are the walls full of splitting and breaks, or are the carpets overly dirty and stained? Do each one of the furnace or A/C settings function as they should? Do all entryways going outdoors lock securely? It`s a good idea to view the residences in the neighborhood. Even though they may belong to totally different people, their visual appearances and general upkeep can be quite enlightening as to what that location is like.\nUnsure of the features you`re browsing for in a house for rent in 75234? Give RentFinder a try right at this moment—click on the button listed below, and you`ll be on your way. |
This past weekend, I took Marcus out for an early birthday celebration at Sushi Yasuda over in Midtown East. I myself have been here a couple times back in 2009-2010, but Marcus had never been there before so we thought it was one of those things he needed to cross off his gastronomic bucket list and compare it to the times we went to 15 East and Jewel Bako together.\nSushi Yasuda is the famed house of sushi lead by the master chef, Naomichi Yasuda, who from December 1999 (when the restaurant first opened its doors) to 2006 never missed a single seating. Since then, Chef Yasuda has trained two of his now disciples, Chef Tatusya Sekiguchi and Chef Mitsuru Tamura to follow in his footsteps, as he returned to Japan "to open a small neighborhood sushi shop and embark on a well-earned semi-retirement."\nSushi Yasuda has a generous amount of seating at its sushi counter (relatively speaking) with sixteen in total. The floors, walls, ceiling, tables, and sushi bar are composed of solid bamboo planks. The interior of the restaurant is airy as "a haven from the noise and grit of the city outside." While there isn't any music played inside the restaurant, "the lighting, which is brighter than one might expect, is designed to provide visual clarity on the sushi -- both its preparation and presentation."\nStarting out with some hot, house green tea as well as a small plate of Japanese vegetables, we were ready for what the sushi chef had lined up for us under his sushi omakase selections, a decision that we give to the sushi chef by requesting omakase in the first place as it translates to "You decide" in Japanese. We were also given a yubifuki (i.e., a finger-cloth made of sarashi-fine Japanese bleached cotton) for cleaning our fingers while eating sushi with our hands. The proper way to eat sushi is to carefully pick up each piece of sushi with a finger and thumb and place the entire piece in your mouth to eat, with the rice side on our tongues for the best intersection of flavors, textures, and aromas."\nI read up on the traditions to which the restaurant holds itself true, and I thought it'd be interesting to share them. Chefs Sekiguchi and Tamura select fish varieties one by one, from all around the world (though much from Japan) including local and regional ones, "evaluating each for freshness, size, and its spirit or energy." Shortly there after, "the comprehensive process of cleaning, preparing, and storing" begins, as Japanese cedar-wood line many of the boxes and different varieties are stored in separate ones. In addition to all this, the chefs "carefully control the aging process of the fish -- an essential part of making sushi -- as "'just-caught' fish is not always ideal for being eaten immediately as sushi and different fish require different methods of refrigeration and storage for ideal preservation and taste."\nIn addition to sourcing the quality varieties of fish, one of the "most complex and difficult parts of making sushi is perfecting the rice." Sushi Yasuda uses a mix of Japanese short and medium-grain rice, combined with Japanese red and white rice vinegars, Japanese sea salt, and a small amount of sugar, and the water used to cook the rice has been purified with bincho-tan (i..e, Japanese charcoal). The rice itself is cooked in precise proportions at calculated temperatures for a specific time, a method that Chefs Sekiguchi and Tamura have "refined after years of research and experimentation, using their hands as instruments to evaluate how moist the rice is before cooking it and adjusting the amount of water accordingly."\nEach piece of nigiri-sushi has a "delicate topping, usually a sheer coating of Yasuda's special shoyu (i.e., soy sauce) applied by the sushi chef." As such, it is best to eat the sushi "straight" without adding extra shoyu. Garnishes include freshly "ground wasabi (i.e., mountain-grown Japanese horseradish) and gari (pickled ginger that is sharp and slightly sweet and is used for palate cleansing)," both of which are intended to be used in moderation. Additionally, the restaurant advises that one should avoid mixing the wasbi in the shoyu, therefor allowing the distinct flavors of the fish, rice, and condiments to "meet each other" rather than blend together.\nOur first piece was bonito, a variety of fish that falls within the tuna family. I had never had this as sushi before so it was interesting to experience it here at Sushi Yasuda. It had a well-balanced marbled texture, creating a very melty sensation while still having some meatiness to it. Great starter to the omakase, and I knew Marcus would be in for a wild ride -- one that would could quite possibly rank Yasuda as his favorite sushi spot in the city.\nNext up was the branzino of the white fish family which had a chilled, tile-y texture to it. Very nice!\nThis was the sockeye salmon, which was simply divine. Just as I described the Alaskan king salmon at Sushi Dojo, the sockeye was guum, a Cantonese word that doesn't really have a direct translation, but comes closest to meaning gold, savory, and rich. So good -- what a gorgeous piece of fish!\nThis was kanpachi, a variety of yellowtail, which I thought was just okay -- nothing special really to report about it except nice quality and cut.\nOur fifth piece made up for the the previous miss -- this hotate (scallop) was both melty and tile-y without that unfavorable sliminess that can happen with scallops. It was the ideal thickness, too. Ah so great.\nThis was the blue fin tuna, which is probably my least favorite variety of raw fish (not counting toro -- fatty tuna). However, Sushi Yasuda surprised me big time, by showing me the untapped potential of akami (lean tuna). I had no idea that a fish this lean could be silky. Major hat tips to the sushi chefs at Yasuda!\nOne of the signature things that one must have at Sushi Yasuda is its notable varieties of eel. The first eel we had was the unagi (fresh water eel) drizzled lightly with kabayaki sauce and grilled to soft and flaky perfection. Boneless and warm right off the grill, the unagi at Sushi Yasuda is unlike any others I've had in this city -- I imagine it's as close to the traditional preparation in Japan as it can be because it's so damn good.\nMarcus made sure to mention to our sushi chef that he doesn't have a particular affinity for uni (sea urchin roe), so he skipped this next one, while I enjoyed the glorious golden lobes from California. It was incredibly fresh (as if straight out of a recently cracked open echinoderm) as well as the expected meltiness yet a surprising rounded minerality to it. I can see why Lisa loves the uni here -- it's rich and buttery in all of the best ways. I wish I had requested for another bite!\nFollowing the uni, we both were given sanma (pike fish). Expected in a variety from the mackerel family (you can tell from the iridiscent skin), the sanma had a strong fishiness to it but had quite an interesting, subdued finish.\nSoon after, we had the ocean trout from Iceland which falls in the salmon-trout family. Just like with the sockeye salmon, this may have been even more guum comparatively -- delectably milky, rich, and savory.\nAs you can tell by its marbled pink color, this was the blue fin toro. Fittingly, toro, the word used to describe fatty tuna, means "melting" in Japanese. Sometimes you come across the best mot juste for a food, and toro is no exception. When I think of fatty tuna, I think of all of its fatty goodness melting against the warmth of my palate, and this toro did just that, too. It was super melty and a tad stringy from the fattier areas of the fish. This could be the one piece of fish that could turn a bad day completely around. It's a delicious celebration in your mouth!\nThen we had the Spanish mackerel which I noted simply as "AWESOME!" (which I believe were Marcus's words) in my notes I jotted during dinner. Not too fishy as mackerel usually is, making it different from others I've had before.\nHere, we tried our second variety of eel -- this time it was the sawani (white sea eel) which had been grilled with a thin glaze of sake and some sea salt, resulting in a toasty exterior and a soft, flaky center. It was not as dressed up as the unagi, which I preferred so that the eel could speak its true flavors. Who knew the ideal preparation of eel could be such an art form? Simply beautiful.\nNext we had the oyster (from British Columbia), which had a light sprinkling of lemon zest. It was meaty and creamy all at once, starting boldly with some sweet brine, finishing a little bitter. Marcus, who isn't normally a fan of oysters, wasn't any further convinced to like oysters, but I enjoyed it.\nThe last mackerel of the evening for us was saba (mackerel), which had the best balance of fishiness and savoriness one could hope for without being overwhelmed or turned off.\nMy last piece (number 16!) of my omakase was the white king salmon. It was another variety I'd never had before, and it was a really nice piece of fish -- tasted like a marriage between a white fish and salmon. It was a light yet satisfying ending to the progression of the previous 15 pieces, for sure!\nMarcus's last piece (in lieu of the uni I had) was the shrimp, a fileted piece that was flash-grilled to maintain the essential flavor of the shrimp -- an enjoyable end for Marcus as well.\nFindings: Sushi Yasuda is just as I remembered it -- an understated gallery of beautiful pieces of fish, which range with many varieties in the major families of fish (e.g., salmon/trout, tuna, white fish, mackerel, etc.). As the interiors and the demeanor of its sushi chefs suggest, Sushi Yasuda is a Zen-inspired sushi house where the main focus is the art of sushi at hand. Much care is taken into the preparation of rice, the selection of fish, the garnishing of shoyu and wasabi, the progression of omakase tailored to each patron individually, and the overall happiness of the restaurant's guests. Everything is understated so that the real showstopper can show its vibrant colors as you pop pieces onto your palate. It is a symphony of savoriness and a proper ode to the Japanese art form of sushi-making.\nBe sure to make reservations up to four weeks out (at the sushi bar if you can for the optimal experience), and note that meal durations are clocked at an hour and a half (e.g., a 7:30 reservation ends at 9, etc.). Also know that you don't need to opt for the omakase (though I really strongly urge that you do!) but rather can order a la carte by marking up the boxes next to the varieties of fish on the sushi menu to indicate how many pieces you wish to have.

This was a little farmhouse in the village of Vagliagli in Italy's Chianti Region which I've walked by many times during my stays in Tuscany. On this particular day, I noticed the different shapes and angles of the buildings and the way the sun light illuminated the urn and flowers in the front garden.\nHere's the lastest in my "Enchanting Italy" series. Light struck roses in front of a farmhouse in Tuscany. I had to restrain the pull to define the stonework on the building, so it would just be a suggestion of texture, receding to the back and not compete with the flowers.\nHere's another painting of one of my favorite views of Lake Como in Italy from the shore of a small town of Varenna.\nThis is part of my current painting series "Enchanting Italy" that I'm working on for an upcoming show at the Frameworks Gallery in Marietta GA. The show opens 3/29.\nKathy Anderson workshop -Pansies Galore!\nLast week I spent a few days at the Scottsdale Artists School taking a workshop with Kathy Anderson. Like me, Kathy loves painting flowers and we spent 3 days surrounded by pansies from the local nursery. Above and below are a couple of my paintings from the workshop.\nHere I am on right with Kathy Anderson on left at the workshop. Kathy's demo painting is in the background and below is a closer peek at her amazing work.\nHere is some of our inspiration- pansies galore- and a few geraniums too!\nWorking on a series called " Enchanting Italy" for an upcoming show. This painting is based on several photo's from a workshop I taught in Italy. Tried the panoramic format for a change.\nTried something a little different here. Had a large bouquet of flowers of hydrangeas and roses and did a close up of a portion of it for a little more abstract viewpoint.\nI did this painting awhile back but had been holding off posting it since it was a surprise Christmas gift for a friend.\nMy friend Terry, who lives in Charlotte, has a lovely fountain with plants near his front door. One day while I was visiting I noticed the sunlight on the fountain. I thought it might make a fun, special and unexpected painting for him so I snuck a few photo's when he wasn't looking then painted it when I got back to my studio.\nOne of the best things about being an artist is the ability to make something meaningful for someone who appreciates that it was created especially for them.\nThat's one reason I actually like to do commissions. Often they are a very thoughtful and unexpected gift for someone who is very special to the person who has commissioned the art. It's an expression of their love. This week I'm starting on a romantic one. A client commissioned a beautiful scene from the couple's 10th anniversary trip that will be a Valentine's gift for his wife. I'm glad to be part of enabling him to provide something extra- special and memorable for his wife. Better get to work!\nI spent most of 2011, focused on painting florals and still life. I painted over 150 paintings, including completing my "floral challenge" of 50 floral studies ( all are posted on my blog in the 2011 archives approximately August-October), got a certification in floral design after completing a program at the Halls School of Floral Design in Atlanta, and studied with some artists who I consider to be masters, especially with the subject of flowers including Robert Johnson, Nancy Franke and Hedi Moran.\nI have always loved flowers and that was one of the subjects I first was drawn to when I started painting nearly 18 years ago but in recent years I'd been doing many more landscapes. I learned even my family name "Fiorello" means "one who lives near a wall of flowers" so it's probably no accident I'm drawn to surround myself and others with flowers.\nI have taught flower painting classes in watercolor for many years, but in 2012, I will be offering my first oil painting workshop "Painting Flowers Alla Prima in Oil" at the Art School in Sandy Springs. It will be on Sat. & Sun. March 17 & 18.\nI'd love to have you join me for a weekend of fun, painting and beauty!\nA few weeks back I had a beautiful bouquet of multi colored roses. Rather than arrange them in a vase as I often do, I tossed them on a table in my studio along with some petals, leaves and berries to just do a study of a casual arrangement for a change.\nToday is my first day back in the studio in 2012. I actually haven't started painting yet, plan to do that tonight. Spent a few hours going thru about 10 photo albums from past trips to Italy looking for references for a new series for 2012 " Enchanting Italy". It's hard to choose, but came up with about 30 of my favorites for inspiration as a starting point. Mostly images of Tuscany and Lake Como. They are currently all laid out on the floor so I can see how they look and feel together. Later I'll put them in a smaller album so they are all in one place, ready to find as I work thru this series over the next few months. I like working in a series this way- I have a group of related subject matter to work from to stay focused but on any given day I still can choose from among the "finalists" to do what I feel in the mood to work on that particular day.\nIn the meantime, I posted one of my hydrangea studies from before the holiday" break".\nNew paintings of Italy coming soon. Now back to the studio.\nAs we welcome in the new year, I thought I'd share this painting-it's the last one I completed in 2011. I call it Volpaia Welcome. It's based on a doorway in a picturesque, little known village in the Chianti Region of Tuscany. Each year when I teach in Tuscany I try to get in a little photo op in this town because it is just beautiful, romantic, quintessential Italy.\nI've been away for the past couple of weeks with holiday and family travel so haven't done any painting and looking forward to getting back to the studio this week. I'm going to be working on a series " Enchanting Italy" for a gallery show I have coming up in March, so expect to see more Italy paintings over the next couple of months, with a few floral still life paintings occasionally as well.\nBest wishes for a happy, healthy and successful new year, however you define it for yourself. |
Today in the world, we all are on the journey of shifting from desktop to smartphone. The web applications are migrated to smartphone applications, or we can say are replacing into Mobile Applications and having a quality Internet Access on. Mobile applications are moderately coming to be a part of human life, and having a growing and increasing impact on both society as well as on business. Companies are developing Mobile Applications according to increasing demands and earning in both aspects in terms of fame such as Brand Recognizations as well as in terms of money too. As a society or peeps around are making their life easy going and better than before by using their Mobile Apps and having a good impact on their life which never occurred and it is endless, unstoppable which is good aspects of both.\nMobile apps are playing a vital part in the industry, for example, there are several services identified which earlier looks very tough to introduce but it has to be in existence in future like Blockchain App Development, Wearable App Development, Medical like Health/Fitness App Development, Artificial Intelligence, Internet Of Things, and Virtual Reality.\nMobile Applications are software or programming applications considered to keep running on Phone/smartphones, tablets and other devices like smartphones which are portable. Mobile apps are regularly accessible through application stores which are owned by the developers or company which have developed.\nThe idea of the app is to build/create a successful mobile application, the main thing developer should consider or cleared in his mind that your app is being developed for resolving a problem and on demand or need to fulfill. So, feature your app like you do have own problem to be resolved by this app, keep this in mind. Without a plan/idea to make available in the market your application, it is very difficult to establish it in the market. So fully decided idea should be in mind from the beginning of app design to launching it. Identifying the Target consumers/customers, an app should take place, it will enhance the successful branding of an app. What developer is developing should be in the criteria which should be decided before only that Application should be supportable at mentioned platforms. Some essential keys need to be considered for selecting mobile application development which should cover support like device support, performance, and looking features. The app market is boosting up like never before it had.\nDesigning a mobile app can be considered one of the essential and the key factor for having success for an app in the market economy. Mobile App Developer should focus more on the UI design, multi-touching motions for touch-enabled devices and consider platform design standards as well. The significance of the UI design for an app is like it plays a crucial role in the successful design of an app. Designing an app for mobile app development is becoming demandingly popular and growing very fast as it creates an instant/quick impact on the mind of the customers while ensuring usability of an app and ease in access of an app.\nDeveloping a prototype/Structure, the process of turning the idea into some architecture of an application with some basic functionality defining some features. A prototype makes it simply easier to sell the idea to potential buyers who are interested and can see the benefits instead of just visualizing or reading a product description document or some written document, simple is that structure helps a lot to make easy understanding and having an initial look of product at early stage/phase to buying industry. The primary benefit is that it is helpful in attracting investors and working with manufacturers.\nSelecting the Approach for Mobile Application Development is a secondary thing while developing the mobile app. The Mobile Application Development Company provides different platforms – Native App Development, Hybrid App Development.\nNative apps are developed platform specific and require expertise along with knowledge in a particular or specific platform. Native apps are costly and time consuming for developing and delivering the highest user experience.\nTesting and eliminating the bugs is the least we can say for development, but it is not last it still needs maintenance and updations again and again. A testing app on different platforms on the devices which eliminate bugs. Quality Assurance looked out in the phase of having better functionality and behavior of the application.\nEverything needs a plan so as, deploying a Mobile App needs a plan, there are two types from which one can deploy the app to the web server (API) into a production environment that is scalable or deploying to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. It needs to be scheduled and controlled according to the surroundings or environment by looking at all the movement of releases to test. It ensures the honor of the environment is protected and that the correct components are released.\nThis is a 3D Mobile Application Development which a Mobile Application Developers follows as casually for every Mobile Application Development.\nPrevious Previous post: SEO vs SMO: How To Drive Traffic With Search Engines & Social Media?\nNext Next post: How to reduce your load time for 1 second in 5 Minutes? |

Increasing calls for changes in policing have departments across the country searching for new ways to build trust and protect citizens and officers alike. In response, police in Charlotte, N.C. and Nashville, Tenn. have turned to a White House-backed project at the University of Chicago that uses advanced data analytics to predict and prevent adverse incidents, ranging from excessive force to officer injury.\nLed by the Center for Data Science and Public Policy at the Computation Institute and Harris School of Public Policy, the initiative applies machine-learning methods to police department data to identify officers and police calls at a higher risk of producing adverse events, such as the use of excessive force or a sustained citizen complaint. The predictive models can be used to guide personalized interventions for at-risk officers or adjust dispatch procedures to reduce high-stress situations.\nUChicago researchers initially connected with departments through the White House Police Data Initiative, which worked last year with 21 jurisdictions on open data and accountability goals. The initiative produced a collaboration between the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the Data Science for Social Good Summer Fellowship, an annual program led by Ghani and the center that partners students studying computer science, statistics and social sciences with government agencies and non-profit organizations on real-world projects.\nFor the CMPD project, four fellows worked with representatives from the department in North Carolina to build an early intervention system that identifies at-risk officers in need of additional training. Using anonymized data on arrests, citizen complaints, disciplinary actions and other relevant information, the team applied machine-learning methods to find combinations of factors that predict a future adverse incident. Fellows visited Charlotte as part of the 14-week project to talk with department leadership and ride along with officers, learning valuable context for the data.\nBy the end of the summer, the model produced by the DSSG partnership outperformed the system CMPD currently uses, which was based on simple thresholds such as three complaints within 180 days. It found more true positives in which officers flagged by the system were later involved in an adverse event, and fewer false positives in which officers flagged as high risk did not have an adverse incident.\nBoth results were beneficial to the department, improving their identification of officers who needed interventions while avoiding unnecessarily routing too many officers into extra training. The DSSG model also proved capable of identifying exemplary officers at the lowest risk for future adverse incidents, flagging potential role models.\nCMPD returned as a partner for this summer’s Data Science for Social Good Fellowship, joined by the Metro Nashville Police Department. Working with two departments simultaneously allowed DSSG to assign each a project team, improving and expanding the model in Charlotte, while simultaneously verifying how it performs in another jurisdiction.\nThe teams added a new component to their model for the departments, incorporating the types of calls to which officers are dispatched. Fellows learned from officers that certain calls, such as domestic violence or a suicide attempt, are more stressful. They took the input and used data from millions of calls to develop a model that flags high-risk dispatches and recommends against assigning officers who already had responded to multiple stressful calls during their shift.\nBuilding on the initial results, researchers founded a company called Flag Analytics to commercialize the research for use by police departments across the country. In June, the startup received funding from the University’s New Venture Challenge. The center also is establishing connections with additional city and county police departments and presenting the research at industry conventions such as the International Association of the Chiefs of Police and Major Cities Chiefs Association.\nWhile the model’s predictions still need to be field tested, the research project already has made major advances in applying data analytics to policing. By building an early-intervention system that is transparent, user-friendly and reliable, the research is helping police departments improve training and better protect their officers. |

The Round Table has convened on monthly basis (generally near the end of every month with allowances for schedule adjustments) since July 2010. The intent is for the participants to identify their single favorite investment opportunity.\nNon-core selections are limited to a maximum of 25% of the total positions.\nThe goal is to build and maintain a tracking portfolio that achieves a long-term relative return of +5% (500 basis points higher) versus the Wilshire 5000.\nAs of 12/31/2013, 175 selections had been made and an annualized relative return of +3.6% achieved.\nOur accuracy goal (% of selections outperforming the total stock market index) is 60-70%.\nAs of 12/31/2013, the outperformance accuracy is 57%.\nThe strong performance in 2013 (+10.8% average relative return for calendar year 2013) stemmed from powerful gains in companies like 3D Systems (DDD), Polaris (PII), Priceline (PCLN), McGraw-Hill (MHFI) and Southwest Airlines (LUV). Note the number of 2013 entries on this all-time performance leader board (based on relative return) since July 2010.\nWhile Hugh McManus shopped around and decided to “Pass” once again … not finding a deep value opportunity to his liking, there was no shortage of companies kicked around. In fact, “honorable mention” included the likes of Apple (AAPL), Bio-Reference Labs (BRLI), Cisco Systems (CSCO), Cognizant Technology (CTSH), Lilly (LLY), MSC Industrial (MSM), Novo Nordisk (NVO) and Target (TGT).\nCy Lynch presented long-time community favorite EMC Corp (EMC) citing strong growth characteristics and a strong “storage story” going forward. He also cited the 80% stake in VMware (VMW).\nMost significant is the (1) return forecast at or near a multi-year high and the same is true with (2) the projected relative return. A company between 5-10% for projected relative return is in what we regard as the sweet spot.\nOn behalf of the Knights of the Round Table, our Guest Damsels and Guest Knights, we’d like to wish everybody a Healthy, Wealthy and Generous 2014. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!\n← The Otters of Wall Street? |
Origin and Habitat: Pigafetta filaris is indigenous to New Guinea and the Moluccas, in Indonesia.\nAltitude: Up to 300 metres above sea level.\nHabitat and ecology: It is a fast-growing, overstorey palm found in wet disturbed forests on lavas, banks of water streams and margins of the forests. It is one of the very few strictly secondary forest palms. Pigafetta filaris is apparently a strict heliophile when it is young. Seedlings deposited in bird dung in primary forests do not develop beyond the two- or three-leaf stage, whereas seeds deposited in dung in the open develop rapidly. It acts as pioneer plant colonizing degraded areas in open areas and in full sun. Like the fishtail palm (Caryota spp.) the slender P. filaris bursts through the lowland forest canopy, in search of sunlight.\nDescription: Pigafetta filaris has a very tall, green, broad, solitary, glistening trunks and a large crown of pinnate leaves with whitish stalks. As with many palms, Pigafetta filaris protects itself with a carpet of sharp spines. It is a dioecious palm, with male and female flowers borne on different trees on an inflorescence that emerges below the crown. The whole look is incredibly tropical and ornamental.\nTaxonomical notes: The specimens which generally are found in botanical collections around the world appear to have come from the Indonesian island of Sulawesi and will have to be renamed (Pigafetta elata).\nTrunk: Straight as a telephone pole, more than 30 m tall, with individuals, in the wild, even 50 m tall, and a diameter of 30-45 cm, glossy green for a good part of its length, tending to the brown in the oldest part, and ringed with the scars of the old leaves. It has often a mass of adventitious roots at the base.\nLeaves: Pinnate up to 6 m long, arching. Petioles robust, about 1,8 m long, grey-green covered by a white powder with base not completely surrounding the stem and very spiny, the spines are pale yellow, flexible, about 7 cm long and arranged in slightly undulate linear jagged rows. Leaflets dark green long, thin and acuminate, about 1 m long and slightly pendulous, with short bristles at the margins and along the central nervature. Regularly inserted along the rachis and forming a V.\nInflorescence: Axillary, similar in the feminine as well as in the masculine plants, pale yellow, about 2 m long. Peduncle and rachis disposed horizontally with pendulous floriferous branches.\nFruits: The small ovoid, about 1,2 cm long, covered by imbricate yellow to orange scales and contain one seed only.\nNotes: Along with Ceroxylon alpinum (reported to reach 60 m), Pigafetta filaris (reaching 50 m) is one of the tallest palms in the world. Other extremes among palms are the long climbing palms that represent some of the longest land plants: e.g., Calamus spp. recorded as 185 m long. In contrast the smallest undergrowth palms scarcely reach 20 cm: e.g., Iguanura palmuncula.\n1) Forest & Kim Starr Pigafetta filaris (wanga palm, white wanga palm). Plants of Hawaii. <http://www.starrenvironmental.com>. Downloaded on 31 August 2014.\nCultivation and Propagation: Pigafetta filaris is a splendid, little-known ornamental palm that is not demanding about the soil, it may grow up also on the poor ones both slightly alkaline and acidic, provided there is abundant availability of water all over the year, but, of course, takes advantage in presence of soils rich of organic substance and with regular fertilizations. This fast growing tree appreciates an open, sunny site with regular water and prefers subtropical to tropical climates.\nGrowth rate: It is a fast grower, but it can grow extremely fast given the right conditions of warmth and humidity, together with a rich soil and an abundance of water and probably one of the fastest growing palms in the world. The growth, after the initial seedlings phase, is particularly fast, almost one metre of growth per year in the optimal cultivation conditions. Pigafetta filaris vary in shape. Specimens raised in dry and/or infertile soils tend to be smaller in stature with smaller leaves.\nHardiness: This palm is tender and is suited for tropical or warmer subtropical climates, (USDA Zones 11-12). It doesn’t stand long periods of temperatures even relatively mild; its growth stops already by around the 13-15 °C.\nUses: Either as a single specimen or in groups, this is a strikingly beautiful species. Its very neat appearance and stature makes it perfect near highways and used to accent residential landscapes. Culture in containers is possible although growth rates are slower.\nTraditional uses: The thin fibres obtained from the leaves were utilized for making clothes, carpets, etc., whilst the stems were utilized for the constructions.\nWarning: The plant protects itself with a carpet of sharp spines, so careful where you plant this palm.\nPropagation: Fresh seeds germinates rapidly in 4 weeks although some seed may take up to 6 months to germinate in warm media at the temperature of 24-28 °C and the seedlings are attractive. The sowing must be done at the maximum luminosity, also in full sun, in the shade, the young plants do not develop and finally will die. |

Dover, DE – On the 15th Anniversary of landmark legislation that he helped pass as a staffer, U.S. Senator Ted Kaufman (D-DE) marked the celebration by recounting how far advocacy has come and highlighted the newest investment: $2 million to expand the efforts that have saved countless lives in Delaware.\nSen. Kaufman praised the advocates at the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence’s (DCADV) conference, held on DCADV’s 15th anniversary today.\nSen. Kaufman was Chief of staff to then-Sen. Joe Biden when VAWA became law in 1994, which has provided funds for more law enforcement personnel and prosecutors to handle domestic violence cases and has set up more shelters, crisis services, and legal assistance for victims. In February, Sen. Kaufman voted in favor of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which brought almost 2 million dollars to Delaware to aid the fight against domestic abuse and violence.\n· And offer financial support for housing, utilities, and transportation to those fleeing violent relationships. |

Imagine stepping out into the warm morning sunshine, pouring yourself a cup of crisp, locally grown coffee, and sitting back to take in the splendour of a lush rainforest cascading down through a mountain valley below. Swarms of brightly coloured hummingbirds, honeycreepers and bananaquits flit around just metres away, while raucous parrots and maybe even a toucan say “good morning” from nearby treetops. The incredible “gong” of an enigmatic bellbird rings up through the forest.\nThis was the scene that greeted 11 birders (led by Jared Clarke & Ernesto Carman) as we began our Trinidad & Tobago birding tour this past December. This beautiful destination provides a wonderful introduction to the birds of South America, perhaps the most diverse and exciting birdlife on earth. The tour is also a relatively relaxing one, since we stay at just two locations the entire time – including the famous Asa Wright Nature Centre, with the amazing verandah described above. Our excursions consist of world class birding opportunities, like the unforgettable Scarlet Ibis roost in the Caroni Swamp, the Oilbirds at Dunstan Cave, hundreds of nesting Red-billed Tropicbirds on Little Tobago Island and the amazing Main Ridge Forest Reserve (the world’s oldest protected area).\nThe list of highlights for 2017 was a long one and included amazing views and photo opportunities of 14 species of hummingbird – including the highly prized Tufted Coquette and Ruby-topaz Hummingbird. We also enjoyed great views of Channel-billed Toucan, encounters with the endemic Trinidad Motmot and Trinidad Piping Guan, lots of other wildlife and of course those Scarlet Ibis, Oilbirds and Red-billed Tropicbirds.\nA small sample of photo highlights are included below (photos by Jared Clarke). As always, the tour was a resounding success and enjoyed by all. Be sure to check out details for upcoming tours to Trinidad & Tobago (Trinidad-Tobago-Birding-Tour).\nAsa Wright Nature Centre offers some of the best opportunities to see the often-elusive Tufted Coquette – a tiny yet beautiful hummingbird of northeastern South America. A combination of carefully planted gardens and well-placed feeders allows guests to get up-close and personal with a great variety of hummingbirds and other colourful species.\nThe large estate, lush forests and many walking trails of Asa Wright Nature Centre also allow guests to explore and find plenty of other exciting birds – from tiny manakins to soaring raptors. One of our many highlights was this unusually cooperative Bearded Bellbird – considered the loudest bird on earth. Its deafening call can be heard for miles, and was absolutely astounding at this range!\nThe Asa Wright property is also home to the one of the world’s most accessible Oilbird colonies. These unique birds are the world’s only nocturnal fruit-eating bird – roosting in dark caves by day, and using echo-location to navigate and find food only under cover of darkness. Our visit to see these birds is always a highlight, and certainly one of the most surreal experiences you’ll ever have in nature.\nWhile this trip is definitely planned around birds & birding, we also take time to find, learn about and enjoy lots of other wildlife and aspects of nature. This tiny Trinidad Stream Frog lives only here on the island – one of two endemic frog species we encountered while birding at Asa Wright Nature Centre.\nOur group enjoyed numerous day trips and excursions to various habitats on Trinidad. One of the most exciting trips took us into the higher elevation rain forests of the Northern Range mountains, where we encountered a great variety of birds and amazing scenery. This Guianan Trogon came out to greet us on the drive back, sitting right over the road for us all to enjoy.\nOwls are a highlight of any birding trip, and this Ferruginous Pygmy Owl was no exception. We found it sitting calmly in the middle of a frenzy of songbirds, all of which were frantically trying to drive it away.\nOther excursions took us back down the mountains into lowland habitats, including mangroves, savannah and agricultural areas. The variety of birds and other wildlife here was very different, yet equally rich and amazing. This Savannah Hawk was drying its wings after a heavy rain shower (we actually encountered very little rain during our trip – another reason the tour is scheduled for this wonderful time of year).\nOne of our group’s favourite birds to see and watch was the beautiful Rufous-tailed Jacamar – of which we found several. This one was very obliging as a small group of us strolled through a wooded garden, even flying towards us and landing quite close.\nA huge highlight of our time on Trinidad was a visit to Caroni Swamp. A relaxed, bird-filled cruise through the mangroves was capped off with the spectacle of thousands of brilliant Scarlet Ibis (along with several species of herons) coming in to roost. Guests always count this among the most amazing experiences of their birding lives, and with very good reason!\nThe Trinidad Motmot is one of two endemic birds in this island nation, and we enjoyed amazing views of several throughout the tour. This one was especially cooperative during our first day on Tobago, where they tend to be less shy.\nThe Ruby-topaz is considered among the most beautiful of all the hummingbirds. We were fortunate to see a dozen of these brilliant birds at three locations, including some incredible views like this one on Trinidad.\nWhile on Tobago, we spent a morning exploring the beautiful Main Ridge Forest Reserve. This large reserve was first proclaimed in 1776, making it the oldest protected area in the world – and the numerous hiking trails makes this tract of pristine, native rain forest very accessible. One of our targets here was the Blue-backed Manakin (absent on Trinidad), like this male that showed surprisingly well in a fruiting fig tree.\nNo visit to Trinidad & Tobago is complete without a visit to the spectacular seabird colony on Little Tobago. This small island, just off the northeast coast of Tobago, is home to hundreds of Red-billed Tropicbird, Brown Boobies and Red-footed Boobies – among other great birds. Our clifftop vista found us overlooking the colony, dozens of soaring birds and the sparkling blue water below. What a fantastic way to end a wonderful adventure! |
Weather is looking pretty sketchy, so we’re just going to drive around town to see what’s to see today. Ginny wants to go out by the airport to see “Aragorn Studios and I would like to scope out the airport to see where we will return the car.\nHad lunch at a local cyber café I had a chicken roti pretty tasty. Kind of like a West Indian burrito.\nAragorn Studios is a art collective place lots of different artists, some working on stuff, and some just selling.\nMy only big gripe is that all the vendors had a 5% surcharge for credit cards. I ended up paying cash.\nLeaving, we tried to find the airport Avis location with no luck. Kind of odd, I know that Hertz, National, and Thrifty had booths in the lobby of the airport building.\nOn the way home we decided to make our own dinner, so we stopped at the Rite Way again and picked up stuff for pasta & garlic bread.\nBefore dinner I took my laptop out to check mail & stuff. I managed to catch Riley on the webcam as he sitting on the table. I tried to get his attention by changing the way the lights blinked on the cam. Changing a setting might have caused a slight click, as he turned his head quickly when I did. Not entirely sure though. He looks normal though, so that’s a good thing.\nThis entry was posted in Travels and Adventures and tagged bvi, ft. recovery, rain, tortola, vacation, weather on 27-March-2007 by David.\nThis is probably the best day of the whole trip.\nWe signed up to do a snorkel trip with Patouche charters. They were one of the few places that returned our calls AND would take credit cards.\nFay and Shane were a good crew, took us to nice places, and pointed out the best places to go. Fay was from Maryland, out here to get her captains papers. Shane was from the Dominican Republic (I think).\nThe boat wasn’t big, but neither were the number of guests. There were four other people besides Ginny and I: A married couple from Florida and a couple of guys from New York.\nThey had plenty of things to drink, and some tasty snacks. They didn’t push the alcohol, which was nice.\nWe did 2 snorkel stops, had lunch, and did another snorkel stop. Lunch was quiche, unfortunately, so I had to pass. The pasta salad was pretty good though. We have GOT to remember to tell people about my lactose intolerance.\nThe two guys from New York were also staying at Fort Recovery, so we gave them a lift back. We stopped at the Rite Way grocery store to pick up stuff for dinner just sandwich stuff.\nThis entry was posted in Travels and Adventures and tagged bvi, charter, sailing, snorkel, tortola on 26-March-2007 by David.\nToday we decided to check out one of the local snorkeling beaches. Smugglers Cove was listed as a good spot, so we pull out the map and start driving.\nThe drive was, shall we say, interesting? It went from lousy local roads, to dirt roads, to rocky roads.\nWe did finally get there and it was fairly nice. We didn’t snorkel, as the water was a bit rough. But we bobbed around in the water, which was relaxing.\nBought lunch from a beach vendor grilled fish & rice with a tangy sauce. Not bad actually. The guy used his car for electricity.\nHad dinner at Fort Recovery’s “Restaurant food wasn’t bad, but the service left something to be desired.\nI decided to load the pictures from my camera on to my computer and I discovered that the ‘stain’ that I thought I had on my filter was actually on the cameras sensor.\nThis basically means that all the pictures I took that have a bright background in the upper right hand corner are going to show a spot.\nI’m going to have to take the camera in to Wolf to see if they can get it repaired. I hope it’s still under warranty. I’m pretty sure it has a 1 year warranty.\nThis entry was posted in Travels and Adventures and tagged beach, bvi, snorkeling, vacation on 25-March-2007 by David.\nWoke up at the normal time but the boat was strangely quiet. Half the passengers were gone. They had to get up at 4:30am to get transferred to the airport for a 7am flight.\nWe decided to wait until most of the people who had deadlines were gone, so we just relaxed on board.\nAround 11:30, we loaded our stuff onto the launch, said our farewells to the crew, and headed for shore.\nA bit of talk with the guy at the local taxi stand determined that the Avis location we needed wasn’t as close as we thought it would be. We were told that it was walk-able, but a very long walk. A $4 cab ride, however, wasn’t unreasonable.\nWe got taken to a local car dealership that doubled as the Avis location. Unloaded the cab and checked into pick up the car. Not a very efficient or professional looking operation. The rental form was written out by hand. We were told to return the car with the same amount of gas that we took it out with. After we started I noticed that the tank was only half full. I had expected them to fill the tank at least.\nDriving on the left had side isn’t that hard to get used to. I did it in Scotland, and then I was on the other side of the card.\nThere are very few speed limit signs those they do have do not specify if the speed posted is in kph or mph.\nThe car is left had drive, just like in the US, but the speedometer is scaled in kph not mph. I suspect it’s manufactured for the European market.\nThe roads are VERY narrow and in very poor repair. The road to Hana on Maui is far better than the roads on Tortola.\nWe arrived at Fort Recovery and find that it’s not at all what it’s cracked up to be.\nThe room is fairly nice, but not $300/night nice. On Maui, during the high season, this kind of place would go for $150/night. That’s WITH an ocean view and direct access to the beach.\nThe beach is small and kind of dismal looking.\nWifi only works near their office, not in the room.\nHad dinner at The Jolly Roger Inn which is run by a couple of guys from New York. It specialized in “Pan Asian, SOHO, and Tribeca cuisine. I didn’t even know SOHO and Tribeca were cuisines.\nFinding the place was a challenge as it was at the end of a very dark and forbidding road (actually, all the roads are dark & forbidding at night). The food was pretty good, but the service was kind of slow. I suspect this is going to be a pattern.\nThis entry was posted in Travels and Adventures and tagged avis, bvi, cruise, driving, sailing, tortola, windjammer on 24-March-2007 by David.\nWe weren’t feeling up to going to ‘The Baths’ today, so we decided to just stay on board. That’s disappointing, as I’ve heard ‘The Baths’ is pretty interesting.\nThis entry was posted in Travels and Adventures and tagged bvi, cruise, sailing, vacation, virgin gorda, windjammer on 22-March-2007 by David.\nWe realized that the one bottle of Dayquil wasn’t going to last long enough, with both of us not feeling great, so we wandered around town a bit looking for a drug store & grocery store, maybe the beach.\nFound the stores, never got to the beach. The drug store was interesting, as they carried absolutely no American or British products. No Nyquil or Dayquil. We spoke to a pharmacist, who only spoke marginal English, and she gave us some cold medicine. Not sure it worked very well. We’ll have to pick up some more familiar stuff tomorrow in Tortola.\nAlmost went on the island tour, but decided we weren’t feeling up to it. We went back to the boat to relax.\nThis entry was posted in Travels and Adventures and tagged bvi, cruise, sailing, sinus infection, st. barths, vacation, windjammer on 20-March-2007 by David.\nWork up around 6am still feeling lousy. We decided to go ashore to find some cold medicine.\nHad a very light breakfast of some honeydew melon and toast I’m sure that anything heavier would screw me up something fierce.\nTurns out that every morning the captain hosts a ‘Story Time’ where he tells us what’s going on for the day and any other bits of info. I did my best to give a hearty “Good Morning Captain Sir , but my head & throat rebelled so I only croaked a it. Ginny was able to belt it out I suspect she’s going to regret it later.\nThe captains’ name is “Fernando he introduced the crew including Debra, the ‘Activities Mate’, and Laurie, the Purser. He also covered important stuff, like safety guidelines, etc.\nWe had lunch at a little French place called Antoine’s. Ginny had some good gazpacho soup, I had a chicken sandwich. I would have liked the soup, but wasn’t feeling very adventurous in a food way.\nWe wandered back into town to find a drugs store and found one. They didn’t have a lot of stuff, but they carried Nyquil & Dayquil, so we bought one of each. Not sure if that will last us, but it should get us past the next few days.\nThis entry was posted in Travels and Adventures and tagged bvi, cruise, sailing, sinus infection, st. martin, vacation, windjammer on 19-March-2007 by David.\nWe’re on our way … wake up at 4am, cab arrives at 5am, flight is at 7am. OMG am I tired.\nArrive at San Juan, find a place for lunch. Nothing special, but ok.\nFly to St. Martin in a puddle jumper. We sat right next to the prop.\nAfter clearing customs, we went to the main lobby of the airport and found the windjammer rep. We had to wait a bit to get on the bus because they had to wait for some other people. Bus ride was ‘interesting’, as the roads were very narrow. Everyone joked about inhaling a bit to squeeze by.\nBus stopped a few blocks away from the dock, so we had to hike down to where the launch for the boat was.\nCheck went fairly smoothly, although we had to go through the safety briefing twice. Were taken to our cabin, which was VERY VERY small.\nAround this time I noticed a slight cough and dryness in my throat.\nWe went to bed around 10pm, after having dinner and wandering around on the deck.\nI woke up around 3am feeling lousy. Head ache, sinus congestion, scratchy throat. Oh crap, now I have a sinus infection.\nThis entry was posted in Travels and Adventures and tagged bvi, cruise, sailing, sinus infection, vacation, windjammer on 18-March-2007 by David.\nWe’re off on another vacation … this time to the Caribbean for a Windjammer cruise and some time on the British Virgin Island of Tortola.\nRiley has figured it out he’s seen the duffel bags and knows we’re going away. He’s not in a good mood.\nGinny has a cough that hasn’t gotten any better probably caught it from some of her co-workers. She thought it was gone a week or so ago, but it came back. I was quite surprised that I hadn’t caught anything. I’ve been taking Echinacea and 1000mg vitamin C tablets for the past 8 weeks to avoid getting sick.\nI aimed the web cam at the chair Riley likes to snooze in, so we might be able to watch him when we get to Fort Recovery.\nGinny realized that we forgot to get more dry food for Riley so she left a note for Pat, our pet sitter, and a ten dollar bill, in case she need to get a small bag.\nThis entry was posted in Travels and Adventures and tagged bvi, cruise, sailing, vacation, windjammer on 17-March-2007 by David. |

He was 87. |
I believe that prayer works. I believe that prayer matters. I believe that God wouldn’t ask us in His word to pray if it wasn’t important. And yet, over the past few years, as I walked through a difficult season that lasted longer than I was comfortable with, I wrestled with prayer. His word promises that He hears us, but I didn’t feel heard. And quite honestly, I was tired. I was weary from praying and praying and praying and praying…with what felt like no results. For a period of time, I even stopped praying. I don’t think God was mad at me for that. I am confident that He knows my heart and knew that time of silence was what I needed before He blew a fresh wind of His spirit my way. |

Otolaryngologists Tom D. Wang, MD and Dean Toriumi, MD discuss the changing trends in rhinoplasty over the past decade, pinpointing what technologies have emerged and how this new knowledge has impacted revision procedures.\nFor patients who undergo septoplasty to repair a crooked septum, reconnecting pieces of cartilage and stabilizing the cartilage during the healing process is critical to achieving straight alignment of the nasal septum. Stabilizing cartilage is particularly challenging for patients who require correction of severe septal deviations or severe post-traumatic deformities that are often both functional and cosmetic.\nPHILADELPHIA-It’s a moment that rhinoplasty surgeons dread: They’ve performed a surgery, the operation is over, then they realize that something has gone wrong. To fix it, there will have to be another surgery. |

Private Island Ice Cream, 14650 Gatorland Dr, Orlando, FL.\nEntertainment, Science, and sweet ice cream. How much better could that get?! Throw in homemade ingredients, that’s how! Private Island Ice Cream has it all. With a plethora of flavor combos to choose from, the ice cream is made from scratch right in front of your eyes with liquid nitrogen at a subzero temp of -321 degrees F. Private Island (formerly Pure Magic) was the first in Florida to introduce liquid nitrogen ice cream back in 2007.\nI ordered chocolate ice cream and added in their homemade caramel and M&Ms. It is pretty interesting to watch this liquid being whisked and squirted with nitrogen, whisked some more, a bit more nitrogen, thickening….adding the goodies, and WALLA! This sweet, richly decadent, extreme flavor, hardened and made to perfection. You order a cup and receive a generous amount of ice cream. Super heavy, intense, did I say rich? Yep, very rich. Wow, just wow. Nice experience.\nLocated across the street from Gatorland on South Orange Blossom Trail, in the Hunter’s Creek neighborhood.\nHours: Sunday – Thursday 1:00pm to 9:00pm, Friday – Saturday 1:00pm to 10:00pm.\n4.75 out of 5 very cool treat points.\nAH-MAZ-ING! If you want to do something different and interesting for use in drinks, decorative touches, or plain old fun for your sweet tooth, this recipe if easy and a goodie to have in your repertoire. The original recipe is from The Chew.\nAfter you peel your orange…I usually cut off the ends, then cut three wide slices. Super easy to eat, and less messy. Take a paring knife to your peel and gently cut away the bitter pith from the peel. Please take it slow so you don’t cut your fingers! I then take a zip lock bag and start accumulating enough peel to make it worth my while, 5 or 6.\nStep 1: Blanch the orange peel in boiling water for 15 minutes. Rinse with cold water and put in a cold water bath.\nStep: 2: Make Simple Syrup. 1 cup water and 1 cup white granulated sugar. Bring to boil in med saucepan, add blanched orange peel to syrup, turn down heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Carefully take out peel with tongs and gently tap off excess liquid.\nStep 3: With granulated sugar in a shallow bowl, roll peel in sugar to cover. Lay peel on a plate to dry completely. Turn over so both sides get air-dried. The longer the better.\nStep 4: Enjoy! They will taste like the old fashion orange slices in the candy section! Store in an air-tight container.\nP.S. Eating straight, too much gave me a little numb feeling in my mouth. Just to warn you.\nMad Girl Eats the BEST German Chocolate Cake. Ever.\nC. Adams Bakery, 400 N. Water St, Milwaukee, WI.\nTucked into Milwaukee’s Third Ward Public Market, is C. Adams Bakery. A blissful haven for those of us addicted to sweets. C. Adam’s has an incredible size case, full of homemade delectable baked goods. Cookies, bars, pies, muffins, gooey sweet bread, cakes…I think you get it.\nI was so mesmerized, I couldn’t decide which dessert to treat myself to! The smartest decision was to choose the one I rarely see available back home. In my case, it was German Chocolate Cake. In Florida, we can readily find Tres Leches, but hard pressed for German Chocolate anywhere.\nStanding four gorgeous dark chocolate layers high, and separated by layers of thick luscious pecan and coconut frosting, this cake was a sight to behold. I had just finished a wonderful late lunch, so I took a slice to go. I made it 3 blocks back to my car, but I couldn’t wait another second to try just a bite. OH EM GEE. One bite, two bites, three bites, four bites…ok, needless to say, the piece of heavenly cake did not make it home.\nSo rich, so decadent, so freaking unbelievable. Ultra moist and dense cake with fantastic deep chocolate flavor. The frosting was divine, as you could taste all of its finest components of brown sugar, vanilla, pecans, and coconut.\nI haven’t gone bonkers over cake in a long time. C. Adams Bakery’s German Chocolate Cake, is one of the best cakes I have ever had.\nStop and get a slice…or a whole cake as soon as you can, it will make you swoon….and super happy. You can thank me later.\n5 out of 5 An extreme German Chocolate dream!\nThe Harry Waugh Dessert Room, 1208 South Howard Ave, Tampa, FL. Inside Bern’s Steak House.\nBern’s Steak House is notably one of the best Steakhouses in the nation. On the second floor of Bern’s Steakhouse, is one of the best dessert rooms in the world! If you have a sweet tooth, enjoy a sugar high…or a sugar coma, or always think about dessert before you order dinner, then The Harry Waugh Dessert Room is for you! It is magic.\nYou enter the steakhouse lobby to a 2 story entry of rich reds, mirrors, and smoldering atmosphere. After checking in (you need a reservation), you are instructed to walk through the restaurant, past the glassed-in kitchen, to the stairway (to heaven)…otherwise known as the steps to the 2nd floor. Greeted at the top, you are whisked away through wooden passage ways, noticing that every table has its own walled cubby. Ah-mazing! As I am seated, I am handed a bible sized dessert menu. Yes, it will blow your mind. Desserts, dessert wines, cheeses, …anything you ‘d wish for. On the wall is a phone with a direct line to the wait staff, and your own selection of music. Fabulous!\nPerusing this menu was so entertaining. I didn’t really have to hem and haw over anything, I knew going in what I wanted. Chocolate all the way, baby! I grew up with chocolate malted, not Hershey syrup, but the jar of powdered chocolate malt for milk. Bringing back sweet childhood memories, I ordered the mega Malted Chocolate Cake. It wasn’t just cake. It also came with a mini chocolate malt, and a malted chocolate mousse. Oh Mama….this was tremendous. The cake…made with Valrhona chocolate crème, dense chocolate cake, and malted marshmallow crème icing. Hold me. The malted chocolate mousse was phenomenal, but the mini chocolate malt was freaking unbelievable! I wanted more! Everything was garnished with the tiniest malted milk balls I have ever seen….and oh so wondrous. This dessert was a chocolate lovers dream.\nAlso ordered was the Vintage Chocolate Lush Sundae. A flourless chocolate lush cake, topped with their dreamy homemade ice cream, fresh whipped cream, chocolate shavings, a strawberry and a side of hot fudge. What more could you want?! Dense, extremely chocolately, and fantabulous! Their dessert menu is overwhelming because everything looks like you want to dive into it ASAP.\nWhatever your after dinner treat looks like, you can definitely find something at the Harry Waugh Dessert Room that will make you do cartwheels.\nHours for the Harry Waugh Dessert Room: Sun – Thurs 6:00pm to 10:30pm, Fri and Sat 6:00pm to 11:30pm.\n5 out of 5 points for an exceptional experience. Food, atmosphere, staff. Perfection!\nParadise Cheesecakes, 1220 Hand Ave, Suite C, Ormond Beach, FL. Winter Park Farmer’s Market, 200 W New England Ave, Winter Park, FL.\nParadise Cheesecakes is the most appropriate name for these pieces of heaven. With almost 100 flavors, Paradise Cheesecakes is the epitome of happiness. If you can’t find a flavor you love in alllll that, you have a problem, my friend.\nThe cheesecakes are light but significant, not overly sweet, and pack a punch of flavor. We all have our favorites, mine are generally more fruity, like Mandarin Orange, Key Lime, Mango, White Chocolate Raspberry. Peanut Butter Cup, Turtle, Chocolate Grand Marnier, Butterfinger all are crowd pleasers as well. I could go on, just go on their website and see what tempting choices they are offering because my mouth is starting to water.\nhttp://paradisecheesecakes.com or scan the QR above with your smartphone.\nI fell in lust with Paradise Cheesecakes over a decade ago on Saturday trips to the Farmer’s Market in Winter Park. The best thing? The owners, Ann and Mike Calamis have kept their product’s high quality and taste profile continuous throughout all these years! Their product line has broadened to take on even more drop dead divine desserts, and more luscious cheesecakes. You can get the cupcake size individual cheesecakes (great for taste testing 😉 or order larger for special occasions. You can’t go wrong, except you may become addicted.\nAnn and Mike are awesome people, making awesome baked goods. Go see them at their bakery in Ormond Beach Mon – Fri 9am-6pm, Sat 10am-4pm, or Saturday mornings at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market in Winter Park, FL. Boom shucka lucka!\n5 out of 5 Big sugar smootches of paradise perfection.\nThe Cookie Cabin, 12781 Sabino Canyon Rd, Mt Lemmon, AZ.\nDon’t let the name fool you, The Cookie Cabin nearing the top of Mt Lemmon (just outside of Tucson) offers more than cookies. Delectable pizza is waiting for you up about 9,000 feet. You never know what you’re going to get when you order pizza blind.\nWhen the supreme style pizza arrived at the table, I was thrilled! Thick, homemade, with copious amounts of toppings! The flavors and texture were awesome. As I sat in this small log cabin, fireplace going, yummy smells baking in the kitchen, I relaxed and took in the beauty of my surroundings.\nThe surroundings included the great outdoors, but more importantly, the goodies indoors. Mostly, the decadent and gigantic cookies and desserts passing thru the dining room. Ooh weeee, baby! If the pizza hadn’t filled me to the brim, I would have had an intimate moment with a chocolate chip cookie.\nThe pizza was fantastic, but save room for a freshly baked, warm cookie. It’s worth the trip up the mountain!\n4.5 out of 5 smiles for miles.\nSerendipity 3, 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV. More locations around the country.\nDirectly in front of the mega Caesar’s Palace Resort and Casino, is the pretty and perfectly located Serendipity 3 restaurant and walk-up window. Inside, a large dining area, and outside, a window to get something quick with patio seating available.\nThirsty and hot, the only thing on my mind was Serendipity’s Frozen Hot Chocolate, even though Serendipity has a full menu. The walk up window had a line, but moved fairly quickly. Finally, a beautiful plastic cup of loveliness appeared with full-on whipped cream to delight me like a giggling school girl.\nThe Frozen Hot Chocolate was rich, not too thick that you’d strain a muscle, and the flavor was undeniable. It was….the flavor of hot chocolate, in frozen form. Go figure. Truly a fabulous treat on an arid day in the desert.\nPricey, but novel and when in Vegas…..you know the rest.\n4 out of 5 serendipitous thumbs up! |

To learn more about what’s on the ballot and how to vote, go the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder’s website.\nEAGLE COUNTY — All the ads, arguments and general bad feelings end Tuesday.\nThat’s right, after what seems like one of the most interminable election seasons ever, the votes will be counted Tuesday. While this is Eagle County’s first all-mail ballot in a presidential election year, there’s still a chance to cast a ballot, either at a drop-off site or in person at a voting machine — although the in-person voting machines are only available in Eagle, Avon and El Jebel.\nIf you’ve yet to look at your ballot, it’s a whopper, filling up most of two full sheets. With late-voting residents in mind, here’s a look at what’s on those ballot sheets, starting at the top.\nThere are 22 pairs of candidates — one for president, one for vice president — on this year’s ballot, including candidates from the American Delta Party, the Independent People Party (isn’t that a kind of oxymoron?), at least three socialist parties and the Prohibition Party.\nOf course, the winner will be either Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton.\nCompared to the presidential race, this is a lightly-contested race, with only seven people running for one of Colorado’s two U.S. Senate seats.\nThe winner will be either Democrat Michael Bennet or Republican Darryl Glenn. Former Eagle County Commissioner Arn Menconi, who now lives in the Roaring Fork Valley, is running under the Green Party Banner.\nEagle County is part of two congressional districts, District 2 in the eastern part of the county, and District 3 for western areas.\nIn District 2, the incumbent is Boulder-area Democrat Jared Polis. The Republican candidate is Nicholas Morse. Richard Longstreth is running for the Libertarian Party.\nIn District 3, incumbent Scott Tipton, a Cortez -area Republican, is facing a strong challenge from Democrat Gail Schwartz, who lives near Crested Butte. Libertarian Gaylon Kent is the third candidate.\n• Two of the three Eagle County Commissioner seats are up for election.\nIn District 1, roughly the eastern portion of the county, incumbent Jill Ryan is being challenged by Republican Michael Dunahay.\nIn District 2, roughly the middle portion of the Eagle River Valley, incumbent Kathy Chandler-Henry is the Democrat in the race. Her Republican challenger is Rick Beveridge.\n• The Eagle County Treasurer’s position is, technically, an open seat.\nRepublican Mari Renzelman is the incumbent in the race. A long-time employee in the office, Renzelman was appointed early this year to the position following the retirement of longtime Treasurer Karen Sheaffer.\nLongtime Eagle County Clerk & Recorder Teak Simonton, a Democrat, is also running for the seat.\nIf Simonton wins, then the county commissioners will appoint her replacement. If she remains in her current post, then she’ll face re-election in 2018.\n• Avon Town Council: Five candidates are running for three available seats. Incumbents Jennie Fancher and Jake Wolf are running for re-election. Former council members Peter Buckley and Amy Cramer Phillips are seeking seats, as is Trevor Spinks.\n• There’s a three-way race for 5th Judicial District Attorney. That four-county district encompasses Clear Creek, Summit, Lake and Eagle counties.\nClear Creek County resident Bruce Brown is the incumbent. He’s a Democrat. His challengers are Eagle County resident Bruce Carey and independent Sanam Mehrnia of Summit County.\n• Eagle and Routt counties make up District 26 in the Colorado House of Representatives. Steamboat Springs Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush is the incumbent, running for a third two-year term. Her challenger is longtime Vail Valley resident Michael Cacioppo, a Republican.\n• In the Colorado Board of Education race for District 3, the candidates are Republican Joyce Rankin and Democrat Christine Pacheco-Kovelescki.\n• There’s a race for the at-large member on the University of Colorado Board of Regents. Democrat Alice Madden and Republican Heidi Ganahi are the candidates.\n• Colorado voters determine whether or not to retain judges. Voters this year will decide whether or not to retain Colorado Supreme Court Justice William Hood.\nColorado Court of Appeals Judges Karen Ashby, Michael Berger, Steven Bernard, Stephanie Dunn, Dave Furman, Robert Hawthorne, Jerry Jones, Anthony Navarro, Gilbert Roman and Diana Terry face retention votes.\n5h Judicial District Court Judges Paul Dunkelman, Wayne Patton and Karen Romeo are up for retention, as is Eagle County Court Judge Katharine Sullivan.\n• Amendment T would remove “slavery or involuntary servitude” from possible punishments for convicted criminals.\n• Amendment U would exempt from property taxes any interest in property valued at $6,000 or less.\n• Amendment 69 would establish a single-payer health insurance system for the state.\n• Amendment 70 wold raise the state’s minimum wage to $12 per hour by early 2020.\n• Amendment 71 would establish a system to make amending the Colorado Constitution more difficult.\n• Amendment 72 would increase the state’s tobacco tax.\n• Proposition 106 would legalize assisted suicide for terminally ill patients.\n• Proposition 107 would establish a presidential primary to replace the current caucus system.\n• Proposition 108 would allow unaffiliated voters to vote in party primaries.\n• Ballot Issue 1A would raise Eagle County’s sales tax by .3 percent — exempting groceries. That tax would raise roughly $5 million per year for countywide affordable housing efforts.\n• Ballot Issue 1B would create a 15-year extension of the county’s existing 1.5-mill open space property tax. The measure would authorize issuing bond debt to finish the Eagle Valley Trail that runs from the top of Vail Pass to the eastern end of Glenwood Canyon.\n• Ballot Issue 3A would raise taxes for Eagle County Schools. The increase would pay for raises for teachers, restoring programs including art, music and technology, and expand hours and services in the district’s preschool programs.\n• Ballot Issue 3B is another tax increase for Eagle County Schools. Money from this issue would pay for a $144 million bond issue for construction. Projects would include additions and renovations to the district’s existing schools. |
Climate Common Sense: The Night of the Long Knives!\nTHE Rudd government is in chaos just weeks from an election, with its two most popular leaders staging a fight to the death this morning.\nIt will be an unprecedented leadership challenge for the first term of a successful government.\nKevin Rudd last night vowed to battle Julia Gillard and Labor's factional powerbrokers to defend his leadership in "the national interest" in a Labor caucus leadership ballot at 9am today.\nMr Rudd admitted himself that he had lost the support of key factional leaders and immediately attempted to garner backing. Other MPs believe Ms Gillard has support across the factions, potentially making her the nation's first female prime minister.\nWayne Swan is expected to stand as deputy prime minister as Labor prepares to clear out its most senior positions ahead of an election this year. After a day of political manoeuvring reached a crescendo of plotting and destabilisation in Parliament House, Ms Gillard went to Mr Rudd's office late yesterday and informed him she would challenge him for the leadership. The Prime Minister decided to call a ballot immediately and started his campaign to hold the leadership with a direct appeal to "the Australian people" and a direct assault on the faceless factional leaders he accused of trying to "take a lurch to the Right" and "do a job" on him.\nGillard's job will be to distance herself from Rudd but as his loyal deputy in the debacle that has been the Rudd government this will not be easy. |

For example, you can transfer money and pay bills at the comfort of your home or office (working place). Now imagine the stress and money this service will save you. You can carry out your banking transactions without visiting any of the bank branches. With TCF online banking, you can carry out virtually all banking transactions without stress and waste of time.\nView your balances in all of your accounts.\nTCF is a regional financial institution with a colossal range of products and a small network of branches () and ATMs. It is more convenient for those living in any of the following states in which TCF branches are located: Michigan, Arizona, Illinois, Colorado, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The shortcoming of TCF is that the fees are expensive and rates are low.\nTCF online banking website is modern and clean, though, in most cases fees and interest rates can be hard to find. Even though its mobile apps on iOS and Android platforms get low ratings, they are quite useful. For example, they can allow you to transfer money between TCF accounts, and also allow you to pay bills.\nThe customer service of TCF is available through phone, from 6 AM to 10PM CT on week days and 9 AM to 6 PM on weekends, and on Twitter.

It increased its presence in Michigan (1995) by acquiring the Great Lakes National Bank. Between 1995 and 1998, the TCF Bank branches in Michigan operated with the Great Lakes National Bank’s name. Then later in 1999, the branches were reflagged as TCF.\nThe University of Michigan in 2002 picked TCF as its preferred bank to provide banking services to students, Staff and faculty. This however, boosted the presence of its presence in Michigan.\nTCF Bank moved to sale its Michigan headquarters building in 2005 to Ann Arbor real-estate company (McKinley Associates). Although, part of the ground level still remains a TCF Bank branch.\nAlso, on November 6, 2006, TCF moved to sale 10 of its branches in Bay City, Battle Creek, and Saginaw to Independent Bank. As a result of this sale, TCF’s Michigan branches became concentrated in Southeast Michigan (primarily around Detroit).\nThe first branch office of TCF Bank in Arizona was first opened in Mesa, on December13, 2006. Currently, TCF operates 7 branches in the state of Arizona.\nThere are 36 branches of TCF in the Denver metro area and Colorado Springs.\nTCF has only two branches in Sioux Falls.\nThere are 25 branches of TCF in Wisconsin.\nTCF Bank currently operates 192 branches in the metropolitan area of Illinois (including the branches inside of Jewel-Osco stores). |
The Pixar: 20 Years of Animation exhibit invites visitors into the fascinating minds behind the magic of Up, Finding Nemo, and other beloved Pixar films.\nThe Pixar: 20 Years of Animation exhibition invites visitors into the fascinating minds behind Up, Finding Nemo, and other Pixar films.\nOriginal sketches from Pixar’s first production, Toy Story.\nThe Annexe at Science Centre Singapore now boasts the world’s largest animation exhibition. Pixar: 20 Years of Animation features more than 300 sketches, paintings, sculptures and storyboards that chronicle the journey of our favourite Pixar films from paper to the big screen.\nHeld in South East Asia for the first time, the exhibit is open to public from Apr 2 to Jun 27.\nThe 3,000 square metre space was transformed into a maze divided into 3 parts: character, story and world, which are the ingredients that make up an animated film, according to John Lasseter, director and chief creative officer of Pixar.\nFans of Monsters Inc. will recognise the doors on the welcome clip at the start of the exhibit. The magical doors which serve as the portal between the human world and the monster world is an apt symbolism for leaving the realms of reality for the whimsical world of Pixar.\nAfter a brief introduction regarding the history and success of Pixar, visitors are taken behind the scenes of their favourite films, like Toy Story, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles.\nCan you spot Edna Mode?\nOriginal sketches of Buzz Lightyear, Edna Mode and other classic characters are featured, alongside numerous paintings and sculptures done by various Pixar artists.\nThe highlight of the exhibition would most definitely be the 7-feet high, 12-feet across Toy Story Zoetrope.\nThe Zoetrope, which can be translated as the “wheel-of-life”, is an animation display featuring 150 3-dimensional (3D) figurines from the first 2 instalments of Toy Story on a rotating display.\nUsing strobe lights, the fascinating display, which is unique to Singapore, creates an illusion of continuous motion, giving viewers an insight into the basic principles of animation.\n“For laymen like me, the Zoetrope is a real eye-opener to how animation works,” said Sandy Chwee, 31, a cinema manager.\nAnother Singapore-exclusive exhibit is Artscape, an 11-minute video which uses digital technology to simulate 3D motion from the original artwork of Pixar artists. Artscape allows visitors to witness the sketches and paintings featured in the exhibit literally come to life, through the perspective of the artists.\nOn top of that, Interactive Kiosks are also located in the centre of the exhibit, showcasing behind-the-scenes videos of classic films. Through these videos, visitors can meet the artists of the films and learn what inspired them. The videos contain footage of the crew at work, sketching, sculpting and writing.\n“This is something I want to do in the future, so witnessing these brilliant minds at work is truly inspiring,” said Nur Inani, 20, a student at Raffles Design Institute.\nTickets can be purchased at Science Centre Singapore’s website. |

The Latest Hair Colors For Fall!\nHi folks, I hope this article finds you prosperous and in good health, but mostly in good health!\nThis Months Beauty Column Could Save Your Life….HUH???\nPart of the article was inadvertently left out, but because it was such a serious subject (MELANOMA), I would like to include it in todays article, because I would not want you to miss it.\nFollowing, is a brief explanation of how to check your self for Melanoma, and what to look for.\nYou may have heard about melanoma skin cancer, but like most people, you probably don’t really know how to spot it, but continue reading this article, and you will know what to look for from now on.\nMelanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer most often caused by harmful UV rays from the sun and tanning beds.\nIt damages your skin’s DNA and survival rates are grim as the disease advances.\nIf detected early, melanoma can most likely be cured.\nTo spot early warning signs, dermatologists have developed the ABCDE method shown here. Do this head-to-toe self-exam once a month and check in with your dermatologists every year.\nMost of us already have these helpful tools on hand: a bright light, a full-length mirror, a hand mirror and a blow dryer (it will help you examine your scalp!).\nWhen we say give yourself a head-to-toe exam, we mean examine every nook for unusual-looking moles or brown spots including on your scalp, the front and back of your ears, under your arms, the underside of your breasts, and finger and toe nails.\nHere are the 5 warning signs you need to look for!\nOk, now let’s get down to business!\nJust a reminder, our own make up artist / stylist, Lori Grenier, is now the exclusive educator in Rhode Island for Jennifer Bradley products, and is currently conducting small make-up classes.\nWhy not make an appointment with Lori, and see what everyone is raving about!\nTo get “your” coupon for the class, go to ….LIVING SOCIAL….\nOK, now let’s get down to the business of making you absolutely gorgeous!\nIf you’ve been contemplating a shift in your hair color for fall, don’t limit yourself to one shade.\nThe season’s best new hair colors are multi-tonal—think sun-kissed blonde with deeper honey undertones, hazelnut brown spun with fine streaks of gold and copper enhanced with dark woody layers.\nThe look is highly individualized, in keeping with fall’s runway themes, and makes for hair that’s rich and uniquely chic.\nBlonde hair shows off high and low lights with ease.\nTry to keep high and low lights no more than 2-4 shades lighter and darker than your own hair.\nTry soft blonde for highlights and a dark blonde for low lights.\nBlonde hair color with a golden tone also work well for blonde hair.\nHigh and low lights placed on hair so it “peeks” out will easily grow out and does not require intense maintenance.\nHigh lights placed at the roots will need regular maintenance every 4-6 weeks, while low lights placed at the root can grow out a bit before they’re highly noticeable.\nDark hair can span many different shades, so choose high and low lights colors that are 2-3 shades lighter or darker than your natural color.\nYou don’t want anything too extreme if you’re aiming for a natural look.\nIf you prefer a stark contrast, you can go extreme, but keep in mind that your hair will have to be bleached in order to achieve significantly lighter hues for high or low lights.\nIf you already have dark hair and do not want to darken it further, request your hair stylist to implement the technique of applying low lights, only with a darker shade, than she is doing your high lights (this color might very well be lighter than your base color).\nFor high lights, work with warm shades of brown, red and dark blonde.\nFor low lights, copper infused colors will add depth without being too severe.\nCheck with your stylist, and she will advise you on whether you should use warm or cool tones.\nRed Hair, with high lights and low lights.\n•(Red hair works with many different hues for high and low lights).\nCopper, gold, blond and darker shades of red all create warmth around the face and add to the glow of red locks.\nHave high lights placed a few inches from the roots, so the overall red shade of hair can be the focal point of the look.\nRed hair will show high and low light growth easily because it provides a bright base color, so placement of high and low lights should be very thin and well-blended throughout the hair for a sun kissed look that will not be apparent after some growth.\nCHRISSY AND HER STAFF ARE MASTER HAIR COLORISTS!\nTHEY HAVE EARNED DEGREES AND SPECIAL AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN HAIR COLOR AND DESIGN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.\nCHRISSY ALSO REGULARLY TEACHES CLASSES TO ASPIRING MODELS AT ONE OF RHODE ISLAND’S TOP MODEL AGENCIES. |

The main advantage of these systems is that they continuously heats water in a storage tank so there is a constant supply whenever required. This method of heating continually is not the most eco-friendly or efficient and often leads to a high gas and/or electric bill.\nHere at Hot Water Brisbane we understand that choosing the right system and installer for you home can be confusing. That’s why all of our professional installations are guaranteed and we won’t take on any job until we have explained what we think is the best type of unit for your Dicky Beach home based on your location, budget and dwelling size.

The team here at Hot Water Brisbane are proud to keep our local Queensland community’s families clean, warm and hydrated on time, every time. |
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support model developed by Dr. Deanna Martin at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) in 1973 that uses peer-assisted study sessions to improve student retention and success within targeted historically difficult courses. The SI program provides by having students who succeeded in traditionally difficult academic courses (e.g., Organic Chemistry, Biology 101, Logic) help other students complete these courses. SI is a non-remedial approach that provides regular review sessions outside of class in which students work collaboratively by discussing readings, comparing notes, working together to predict test items, and sharing ideas for improving class material. Courses selected for SI tend to be “gatekeeper” courses for first and second year students—generally those classes that have a 30% or higher proportion of students who receive a “D”, fail, or withdraw from the course. Out-of-class review sessions are led by “SI leaders,” or students who took the class already and did well. SI leaders attend all class lectures, take notes, and act as models to those currently taking the course.\nThe SI model is used for selected courses at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional school levels, and has been adopted by colleges and universities in the United States and internationally. At Fisk University, sessions are mandatory, free, and facilitated by a trained peer SI Leader. SI is provided to students who want to improve their understanding of course material and improve their grades. SI is not a substitute for class, doing assigned homework or meeting with the course instructor.\nBasically, SI sessions integrate how-to-learn with what-to-learn.\nSI Leaders facilitate group study sessions for selected courses. The leader functions as a “model student” by going to all the classes and taking notes. They help students formulate and answer their own questions, by using collaborative and group study strategies. SI Leaders help students organize class material, compare notes, discuss difficult concepts, develop strategies for studying the subject, and be prepared for taking tests and exams. SI Leaders do not lecture, or re-teach the material.\nSI is a “free service” offered to all students in a targeted course. SI is a non-remedial approach to learning as the program targets high-risk courses rather than high-risk students. All students enrolled in pre-selected first year sequence courses attend SI sessions, as it is a mandatory program. Students with varying levels of academic preparedness and diverse ethnicities participate. There is no remedial stigma attached to SI since the program targets high-risk courses rather than high-risk students.\nRegularly attend class meetings; SI is support for the course, not a replacement for lecture or faculty contact.\nComplete all required readings prior to attending class and SI sessions.\nBring questions to sessions; participation in sessions is important to understanding difficult concepts. Be ready to share and ask questions of fellow students.\nAssistance begins during the first week of the term before students encounter academic difficulties.\nSI leaders do not lecture, but direct collaborative learning exercises that encourage students to take responsibility for processing course content.\nSI Students earn higher final course grades and withdraw less often than non-SI participants.\nVideo-based Supplemental Instruction (VSI) is a model that combines course content with SI study sessions. University professors capture video recordings of their lectures. Trained facilitators, using the recorded lectures and the SI model, guide students through the learning process while emphasizing critical thinking and study skills. Assessment is provided by the professor keeping the facilitator in the role as a peer supporter and not an evaluator. |
