Danielle Doyle

Newcomer Danielle Doyle has been garnering much attention among audiences and fellow musicians, since she first emerged on the scene at the beginning of 2009. Danielle has been named a 2009 Mountain Stage NewSong Youth Winner, a winner of the weekly Lizard Lounge Open Mic challenge and has earned some incredible supporting slots including opening for Loudon Wainwright III, Dawn Landes, and Heather Masse (of The Wailin’ Jennys). A true performer, Danielle’s songs are best heard when she’s singing them live, when beautiful melodies, “sultry alt-country” vocals, and rich lyrics are interspersed with relaxed and comic banter that makes you feel like you’ve known the young songwriter forever.

Danielle will be touring the Northeast throughout the spring in support of her debut album The Cartographer’s Wife. The album is a collection of songs about love, home, longing, and a little bit of murder. While some of these stories were inspired by real life – a failed move to California (“Roots/Wings”), college years in Ohio (“Lake Erie”) –others were borrowed from imagined women – one who waits at home while her husband crosses the globe (“The Cartographer’s Wife”), one who’s fleeing from the apocalypse (“Pompeii”) and one who murders her lover when the going gets rough (“Salome”).

While the stories took years of crafting, The Cartographer’s Wife seemed to come together rather quickly. When it came time to hit the studio, Danielle enlisted friends and fellow Boston area up n’ comers to play on the album, including singer-songwriters Beth Colegrove and Meg Smallidge, members of Garlic & Moonshine, and John Nolan (of Flightless Buttress) who produced the album. The ten tracks were recorded live over three days at the Hi n’ Dry Recording Studio in Somerville, MA. The Cartographer’s Wife will be released at the Lizard Lounge on March 13th.

Danielle Doyle… is often as entertaining in between songs as she is when playing them... Her quirky, quick-witted humor sets everyone at ease and then her songs, with brilliant imagery and soft-spoken honesty blew us away. – Tom Bianchi

Album Notes
Though the song is supposed to be a message from a woman to a man the song is actually sung by men as much as, or possibly more often than, by women.

The song has been interpreted by some listeners as a message from a parent to a son going off to war or leaving as part of the Irish Diaspora.

Although some view the above interpretation of Danny Boy as the true meaning, there is also another meaning for this song. The lyrics were supposedly written by a father who lost his son, Danny. The phrase, "the pipes, the pipes are calling" refers to the traditional funeral instrument played at funerals.

The song is widely considered an Irish anthem, considered by many Irish Americans and Irish Canadians to be their unofficial signature song.

"O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so."

"But if ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft, your tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me. "

Press Release

The Next 50 Years

For more than fifty years, the Surgeon General has been reporting about the dangers of smoking and tobacco use. The findings have inspired us to help smokers quit and keep young people from starting smoking in the first place. We know the strategies that work and we are in the forefront of an historic opportunity to end the tobacco epidemic. If we work together, we can save millions of lives.

Clear the Air

In this podcast, Cynthia Hallett, Executive Director of Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, talks about her sense of urgency to clear the air of secondhand smoke so everyone is equally protected from the negative health effects caused by smoking in the workplace.

The Minnesota Lawsuit:The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Photo of Doug Blanke

Doug Blanke is director of the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium, and works to reduce tobacco use nationwide. He was part of a lawsuit that forced the tobacco industry to turn over millions of pages of documents showing how they targeted children in their marketing, hid data on the dangers of smoking, and misled the American public about their products.

Confronting Commercial Tobacco Use among Native American Tribes

American Indians have the largest prevalence of smoking among population groups. In this podcast, Dr. Patricia Nez Henderson, Vice President, Black Hills Center for American Indian Health, discusses the importance of educating tribal people that cigarettes are not traditional. She and other tribal support centers are working to end commercial tobacco use among American Indians.

Wicker leads Romney cheers at GOP dinner

October 9, 2012 10:08:18 AM

STARKVILLE -- Sen. Roger Wicker said he was in the peanut butter and jelly aisle of a supermarket the day after Thanksgiving in 2007 when he got the call from Trent Lott who told Wicker he would be stepping down from his seat in the Senate.

"Long story, short, Haley Barbour chose me to take that seat and then to run in 2008," Wicker said.

Wicker won the special election and has since filled the remainder of the term.

Monday night at the Oktibbeha County Republicans' Patriots Dinner, Wicker announced to the 300 in attendance that he was again seeking one of Mississippi's Senate seats.

"I didn't expect to ever utter those words," Wicker joked, noting that he was content with his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, the position he held at the time of Lott's resignation. "I want you to know, though, that I am so grateful for the people that have supported me."

At the Monday night dinner, which was held in support of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and the rest of the Republican candidates, Wicker told the audience something he said he has been unable to tell any other group he has spoken to.

"This is the first time ever in this whole election, that I have been able to get in front of a crowd and honestly say we are now winning this race," he said. "We are going to elect Mitt Romney President of the United States."

As the keynote speaker, Wicker addressed what he and the majority of the Republican Party see as the important issues concerning the upcoming election.

According to Wicker, too much of the media's focus is on the numbers of the election and the race itself rather than on the issues that are affecting the nation.

"You have Romney wanting to speak about the issues, about the future of this country, through the distinctions," Wicker said, "and then (the media) just wants to talk about the polls or who was winning."

Noting his appreciation for presidential debate moderator Jim Lehrer for letting the candidates actually have discourse, Wicker said the first debate between President Obama and Romney proved to Wicker that Romney is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"I want a president like Mitt Romney that will take charge like that," Wicker said.

Wicker, along with U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee, U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper and several other speakers hammered again and again on the perceived failures of the Obama administration, with "ObamaCare" being one of the biggest targets.

But there was also a spotlight cast on Romney's platform and his success in both business and politics. Though many of the companies Romney has been associated with are multi-million dollar companies, the need to grow small business, which Wicker pointed to as the backbone of the nation, was stressed.

"When we get a Nissan and a Toyota and a steel mill, we are glad to have them, and we will take some more," Wicker said. "But we create jobs in America 10 at a time, 100 at a time, 150 at a time, with small businesses."

 Google Embraces Mobile, Demonstrates Phone That Translates Text

Message Text: Google CEO Eric Schmidt put mobile at the heart of the Internet giant?s future in a special keynote at Mobile World Congress late this afternoon. He added that Google is working on software that translates text captured by a phone camera.

Schmidt outlined how Google?s top programmers were now concentrating on mobile as their primary focus; he also pointed to recent acquisitions in the mobile space, notably AdMob.

Unveiling a new Google mantra - 'Mobile First' - Schmidt proclaimed that three unique areas had now converged on the mobile device: computing power, interconnectivity and the cloud: "The phone is where these three all interconnect and you need to get these three waves right if you want to win." He highlighted Internet phenomenons such as Spotify, Facebook - and Google itself - as leading the cloud concept across both fixed and mobile. "If you don?t use the power of the cloud you will fail," he said.

Google programmers joining Schmidt on stage demonstrated the firm?s latest developments, including efforts to merge its speech and image recognition technology; the firm impressed with a preview of an optical character recognition (OCR) tool that was able to recognise and translate a picture of a German menu into English. Google announced that German has now been added to its speech system as its fourth language.

During an Android demonstration, Google?s Eric Tseng announced that the platform now supports Flash ? the full Flash version (10.1) rather than Flash Lite ? allowing gaming and movies over handsets. The announcement will give Android devices an advantage over Apple?s iPhone, which does not support the technology.

Message Text: At this year?s IFA tradeshow in Berlin, LG Electronics will be showing its latest plasma LG TVs, which are coming with new features such as restoring photos and video to 97 percent of their original quality.

"Through our ongoing commitment to plasma, we've come up with technology that?s raised plasma picture quality to new heights, and helped rejuvenate the overall plasma TV market," said Heui-seob Kim, Vice President and Head of the PDP TV Business at LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "At IFA 2011, we'll be taking the chance to show European consumers the true potential of plasma, and how we're setting the pace with innovations that deliver real improvements in how viewers can watch and interact with their TVs."

LG claims that Photo Mode, one of LG's most important new advances in plasma, reproduces photos and other multimedia content onscreen with a clarity and resolution that is almost indistinguishable from the original. Compared with the source, Photo Mode reproduces pictures with 95.7 percent of the colour, 96 percent of the hues and 98 percent accuracy in distances. In addition, other effects such as monotone, sepia, oil painting and vignette, ensure that LG?s Plasma TVs deliver near-perfect renditions of photographs.

Thanks to their 97 percent accuracy, LG's 50-inch and 60-inch PZ950 series Plasma TVs recently won the "Best Photo Display TV" at the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) Awards 2011.

LG's Plasma TVs were also the world?s first to be designated THX Certified Displays, a distinction they received at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

Ensuring that viewers have no shortage of convenient content options, LG's Plasma TVs also support HDMI sockets and USBs.

Demerath completes UMN GPS Alliance-Sponsored outreach trip to Papua New Guinea - Extended write up with pictures [PDF]

My inquiry and teaching are animated by an abiding interest in illuminating the cultural basis of everyday educational practices. My scholarship is informed by the disciplinary perspective of anthropology and the methods of ethnography. Ideally, it constitutes a way of "seeing" that attempts to reconstruct the cultural logic of how individuals and groups formulate educational problems and respond to them. Throughout, my work seeks to contribute both to scholarly understandings of educational phenomena and to recommendations for policy and practice.

My major research interest is the role of class culture in the perpetuation of social inequality through education. My concentration has largely been on the meanings high school students construct that shape their approach to school and their aspirations. My research investigates these processes in comparative perspective, internationally (Papua New Guinea) and in the United States, with broad consideration of local contextual features. I use the methods of cultural anthropology: ethnographic fieldwork along with grounded surveys examined with descriptive and analytic statistics.

I draw on my ethnographic experience to infuse my courses with comparative resources for illuminating cultural dimensions of American life, and for teaching about race/ethnicity, politics, and equity in education. As an anthropologist I encourage all of my students to question their taken-for-granted cultural assumptions about schooling in order to contribute to educational renewal in a variety of ways.

Beyonce & Jay-Z took Blue Ivy to see the Beverly Hills Easter bunny: adorable?

You know what I just realized? The majority of the stories I’ve written about Beyonce in the past year have originated with her Tumblr, and Beyonce posting new photos on her Tumblr. Beyonce has achieved what so many celebrities can only dream of: she’s pap’d rarely, she maintains her stardom meticulously, she keeps a 24-7 archive of all things Beyonce and, most importantly, she almost always controls the story. I wouldn’t be covering this if Beyonce didn’t WANT me to cover it. Slow clap for Beysus.

Anyway, Beyonce posted these adorable photos of Blue Ivy and the Carter family’s Easter holiday. Blue Ivy got to chill with the Easter bunny (please tell me the Easter bunny is Jay-Z?!?!) and Blue and her mom both wore bunny ears. According to People Mag, the Carter family (plus Tina Knowles) spent Easter in Beverly Hills, at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge. The hotel apparently set up a special Easter egg hunt for the kids, and Blue got a special Easter basket plus she got to interact with peasant children. People Mag also says Beyonce was really nice to everyone, even the peasants.

PS… I love Blue Ivy’s Easter dress. But I dislike her mom’s ensemble.

    Giant Easter Bunnies are terrifying. They will kill you, like clowns. And I love the babies hair.

  2. QQ says:

    Aw that is supercute, no shade, they seem by all accounts to be involved parents… Did ya’ll see Blue meanmugging at disney?! It was on some Prince Chubby all Not-Amused- face

  3. aims says:

    Why don’t they show Blue’s face?

    • Tapioca says:

      Because they want to exploit her to create a perfect “First Family of (mediocre) Music” image for PR purposes, whilst simultaneously claiming to be protecting her privacy.

      Or she looks like her birth mum ;)

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Why are people so cruel to them? I get that they are not universally liked, but the viciousness of comments about them confuses me.

      • V4Real says:

        There are plenty of pics floating around the internet that shows Blue’s face. There’s even been full frontal on TMZ, she looks a bit like her dad but in a good way.

        But I’m thinking as this child gets older and look back at their family album she might ask “mom why did you always conceal my face, did you think I wasn’t pretty enough to be seen or you didn’t want me stealing your spotlight since your face was always front and center.

        @GNAT I don’t think people have too much of a problem with Jay he’s been pretty much the same since he’s been in the game, but it’s Beyonce pretentiousness that turns most people off. There are still quite a few people who believed she faked her pregnancy as well.

      • Erinn says:

        It confuses me when it happens to every celebrity. Take Kim K for example. Everyone is SUPER viscious with her. But it’s okay, because nobody like her, apparently. I think she’s a bumbling airhead most of the time, but I don’t find her nearly as evil as she’s made out to be. Or have a look at the Brandi and Leann posts – viscous from both sides.

        At most, I find Bey and Jay kind of arrogant, and a bit hypocritical, but other than that they don’t affect my life, and seem to be alright people. I think a lot of posters need to take a step back sometimes and think ‘why do I use so much energy hating people that don’t alter my life’. Gossip is great, rumors can be fun, but the viciousness sometimes needs to be taken down a notch.

      • E says:

        That is so cruel. There are plenty of pictures of Blue on the web. I was on the surrogate wagon too, in the beginning, but even if they did use a surrogate it’s been two years. They’re obviously hands on parents and it’s cruel to either call a baby (a black baby, no less) ugly or say that her parents have some superior plan of world domination. Right now, Bey & Jay ARE dominating the music scene and that’s just fact. No reason to get vicious. It’s just gossip.

        Hate Bey’s outfit though and Jay’s shirt is uglaaay.

      • Vanderhootchie says:

        Good one. Yes. And I hardly find any of these comments “viscious”.

      • V4Real says:

        Where’s the vicious comments on this thread? Calling a baby ugly (which no one on this thread actually did) is cruel no matter the race so I don’t get the comment”a black baby no less.”

        You definetely lost me at superior plans of world domination; that came from left field.

      • Liv says:

        Why so sensitive? I think Tapioca was just joking.

        Beyonce most of the time hides Blue’s face, but what I don’t get is why she always shows the face of Solange’s son – double standard?

      • E says:

        I was responding to Tapioca. And people have called Blue ugly PLENTY of times, or said that she looks like her father, who has been called Camel Face. The comments on here have been vicious, not necessarily on this particular thread but plenty of other ones about Bey. And I added the bit about Blue being black because no white baby have been made fun of and called hideous this much, I mean, people are fawning all over Prince George. All people talked about when Blue was born was her “big lips”, “big nose” and “nappy hair”. And the comment also said that they exploited Blue for their own gain which is also vicious. There are very FEW pap pics of Blue. If you want to talk about people who exploit their kids for a better image look towards the Affleck/Garners etc. They exploit their kids.

      • Tatjana says:

        I don’t think Blue has ever been called ugly on this site. I for one think she’s adorable ( Then again, I think Jay Z looks cute).
        But, I do agree with someone who said that when she’s gonna be older and see these pictures, she’s probably going to wonder why her parent never let anyone see her face.
        Having said that, I can’t stand Beyonce. So annoying, so try hard. Solange is way way cooler.

      • V4Real says:

        I have not read any comments on C/B where posters have called Blue ugly or made mention of her lips. Could you search for that post if it was on this website? I do recall the conversation about her hair and some people were saying it looks as if her hair is not combed out but it wasn’t vicious.

        Now if you’re talking about other websites, well yes people say the meanest things about a lot of celebs children black or white, not just Bey and Jay. Jeez, they are not the only Black celebrity couple to produce a child.

        I remember years ago when the Olsen twins were very popular some people said they are cute now but they were such unattractive babies or they grew into their looks. So yes White babies have been called unattractive as well.

      • E says:

        It was one of the early posts about Blue. I’m on my phone but it was around the posts of when she was born, them releasing a picture of her and a few posts after that, so a good two years ago. And I agree that Celebitchy is extremely mild and gossip friendly compared to other sites. And vicious may have been the wrong word, I would say mean, instead of snarky which is more enjoyable to read. There were a couple of posts around the birth of Blue where it was like being in a shark tank in the comments section, though. And I’ve never personally read comments specifically pointing out features of a white baby and calling them ugly, or saying; “she’s probably gonna look like her dad lol”, and considering Jay-Z is known as Camel-Z around here, that’s not exactly a compliment.

      • V4Real says:

        @E While I don’t find Jay that attractive and I wil agree that his nickmname is Joe The Camel I will agree that I have heard people say that they hope she doesn’t look like Jay. But she does and like I said upthread she’s a cuter version.

        I’m not new to celebrity gossip and it’s not uncommon for people to hope a child doesn’t turn out to look a certain way. Do you remember that beautiful model Paulina Porizkova who married Cars lead singer Ric Ocasek. The main thing people were talking about was how unattractive he was and they hope thier kids didn’t look like him. It was the same thing when Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett. Some people said thank God they didn’t have any children together because how unattractive the kids probably would have been, esp with the nose Lovett has.

        If Bey had married someone who looks like Terrence Howard or Idris Elba, nothing much would be said becasue they are considered handsome. People are only saying these thigs becasue a lot of people find Jay unattractive just like they did with Lovett and Ocasek

      • manta says:

        @E who wrote ” And I’ve never personally read comments specifically pointing out features of a white baby and calling them ugly, or saying; “she’s probably gonna look like her dad lol”.
        Well, just try any post about Adam Sandler and his older daughter, all of these terms are written,along with ‘unfortunate looking’, ‘a face only her mother can love’ etc..
        Some comments about Minnie Driver’s son are like that too.

    • V4Real says:

      Check out this full frontal of Blue Ivy along with a pic of Beyonce when she was a baby; they look similar to me. But I see some Jay in there as well.

  4. Eleanor Zissou says:

    Blue is adorable, but yuck yuck yuck for kissing on the lips.

  5. Valerie says:

    Kudos to Bey for keeping her thighs untouched in these photos.

  6. blue marie says:

    Definitely cute, I love Blue’s hair and look at those little shoes. So adorable.

  7. Loopy says:

    Jay Z seems like he is really relishing fatherhood.

  8. NewWester says:

    It’s funny with Beyoncé and JayZ, we always see pics like these which they put out themselves but how often do you see any pap photos?
    The pap photos are not that often and they do a good job of not having pap photos taken of Blue Ivy
    They crave the limelight but at the same time are very selective of what the public sees and knows. Guess that is what happens when you do not have the paps on speed dial “side eye KKlan”

    • kdlaf says:

      Yeah I was thinking the same thing. When I saw the title I thought it was going to be a bunch of pap photos. But no, just the photos THEY wanted to reveal for their fans on their blogs. They have a good balance between being a high profile celebrity (albeit a little show offy but what celeb isnt) and keeping their privacy and showing just enough so we dont get bored.

      They have one of the best, most secretive PR team and it shows that if you want to have privacy and relevancy, it is certainly possible.

  9. Hissyfit says:

    This family is so private………….

  10. paola says:

    Second thing in the world that scares me to death are giant bunnies. First is of course clowns.
    NOTHING in scarier than a clown.

  11. nenou says:

    aren’t those shoes way yo big for her?they look too heavy for her to walk with

  12. db says:

    I hope there were other children there. Otherwise it’s a little sad that Blue Ivy is the only child there.

  13. lucy2 says:

    Blue Ivy looks cute, and looks like she’s having fun. I do have to agree, as much as the whole “document every moment with a pro photographer” creeps me out, it is preferable to have paparazzi swarming a small child.
    I have to say, that outfit is not really flattering on Beyonce. She’s in amazing shape but that shirt somehow makes her look several months pregnant.

  14. AlmondJoy says:

    Adorable pics! I love seeing Blue Ivy. (Well, the back of her head; -) I also love that she releases pics on HER terms instead of paying the paps.

  15. Nev says:

    does she only pose to show the space between her legs now…haha

  16. Mimz says:

    I have absolutely no problem with none of the pics, yes Beyoncé is a tad pretentious and even I get tired sometimes (im a BIG fan), but then again when I think how would I cope with being simultaneously adored and hated by millions of people, it’s hard not to develop some sort of God complex or at least some sense of entitlement…
    Let’s stop pretending we’d be the exact same people if we had endless amounts of money, millions of adoring fans and the world scrutinizing our every move.

    We’d probably be acting a lil different. Or become way worse (like, Alec Baldwin kinda bad!).
    Ok that’s too much but I guess you understand what I mean…

  17. aenflex says:

    Where’s that thigh gap? I cannot f*cking stand these two.

  18. I Choose Me says:

    Figh on that doily outfit but I am seriously digging her shades, sandals and nail polish. I also love that pic of her kissing Blue Ivy.

  19. Nick says:

    Love them! I’m sure simple pics like these will still bring the hate lol.

  20. Damaris says:

    Jay Z needs some proper footwear. His feet must have been reeking.

  21. Side-Eye says:

    These pics are adorable. I admittedly kind of envy the lives they have.

  22. Adrien says:

    Turns out the person underneath the bunny costume was really Solange.

  23. Inlike says:

    Blue is quite pretty. I just don’t understand why they are pretending to celebrate Easter.
    *seriously confused. It is a Christian holiday.

    If you aren’t Christian (please excuse me if I don’t know the new rules- I’m eclectic), don’t you then celebrate egg hunting on the spring equinox?

    Is Easter just a commercialized holiday now like Valentines Day?

  24. rlh says:

    Beyoncé needs to go away for a while. Why ALWAYS in the public eye???? She needs to let the world miss her for a while. I also think her music is mediocre at best so maybe she is striking while the iron is hot because she knows her time will be up soon enough. And it’s not like she has an acting career waiting for her.
    Sorry (not really) to be the bitch, but some baby’s are unattractive. I don’t use ugly to describe peoples’ appearance because, for the most part, that is the hand the DNA god’s dealt one. But not every baby is gorgeous or cute. I think Blue is ok looking but she is not a “pretty” baby. Sorry again.
    And why was there not a ton of criticism about the name Blue. God, I hate that name as much as I hate North or Apple or any of the other ridiculous names people are giving their kids.

  25. rudy says:

    Bey and Jay seem insufferable to me. Narcissistic money grabbing power hungry team. Never liked either of them. Their music or their constant pushing in our faces.

    Maybe they control the public access well, but they are NOT private. We see everything. They stick everything in our faces. Yacht trips, overseas vacations, fancy restaurants. It is disgusting. All of Beyonce’s music is all about her. Her videos are all about her. Selfish people.

    If they really wanted to be private they could. THey obviously don’t.

    But….to give them some credit….I always believed that Blue Ivy’s face was not in the pics because they do not want the public to recognize such a small child. Now…IDK.

    • Klm says:

      They’re quite easy to ignore if you really want to. You don’t have to click on articles discussing them and comment about how they’re so in your face. And how the heck is her music all about her? It’s about the same stuff every other popular female singer sings about. Really don’t see all the unnecessary hate.

  26. anne says:

    These two morons are destroying the music industry.

Brooklyn, Bow Down To Blue Ivy

My, how baby Blue has grown!

After shedding some spotlight on her mini-me in her HBO documentary, Life Is But a DreamBeyoncé has given the world another glimpse at her 14-month-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

The mother-daughter duo was spotted strolling Court Street in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y., on Sunday. Bundled in a black coat and sporting dark shades, Queen B smiled ear-to-ear as she cradled a sleepy baby Blue, who wore a camo-green jacket, dark denims and classic biege Timberland boots.

The pair even ducked inside eatery Buttermilk Channel, an American bistro known for it’s comfort-food classics, where they dined à deux. Though the borough is home to her hubby’s team, the Brooklyn Nets, Jay-Z was not spotted with his women.

Beyonce and Blue Ivy dine

Since giving birth back in January 2012, Beyoncé has mostly kept her daughter under wraps when stepping out in front of flashing paparazzi. But as of late, the notoriously-private Grammy-winning singer has opened up about motherhood.

“She introduced me to myself,” Bey told Oprah Winfrey 0f her first child during their February sit-down. “And she’s still a baby, but the connection I had with her when I was giving birth was something I have never felt before … We had a connection, and I envisioned her.”

And after her first foray as a mother, Beyonce is sure she wants to expand her brood. “When I was younger, there were moments where I said, ‘I’m not going to have children.’ And then moments when I wanted four,” she said in the March 2013 issue of Vogue. “Now I definitely want another, but I don’t know when.”

Are you surprised by how big Blue Ivy has gotten? Chime in below.

Wegmans Prenatal Vitamins

27 March 2009 - 12:35 PM

I thought I would share this

I recently purchased prenatal vitamins (we're trying) but I was told if you start taking the vitamins pre-baby it helps. So in Wegmans the other day I was looking at the different bottles. I noticed they actually had their own brand there and it was labeled gluten free with a nice "G".

I am aware they label the food products with G's--I am a very frequent shopper. They are now starting to label the vitamins and supplements too. So I bought a bottle for a decent price. I was excited. They make celiac so much easier!

Learning How To Cook

04 March 2009 - 08:09 AM

Hi guys-
I have been starting to cook more made from scratch meals. Its only my husband and I and I do a lot of marinated chickens but I am missing side dish ideas. If you guys would post some of your ideas and recipes that would be great.

I am looking for sauce recipes--like garlic herb, or butter herb, parm sauces.

I would love to hear any great main dishes you might have as well.

I am starting to enjoy it and I am open to all sorts of ideas. We are only gluten-free free if that helps. I know this board is filled with some great cooks and people who are very skilled at converting recipes over--I am sadly not one of those people. So please help me!!!!!

Heinz Soups

19 October 2008 - 04:51 PM

So today in Wegmans I was in the gluten free aisle when my husband spotted soups....which I had never seen. Heinz had made 3 soups and they were made gluten free and labeled it.

There was Cream of Tomato
Potato and Leek
and Beans and Tomato soup.

It was a good find. We didn't try any but they are very different looking from the real "tomato soup." These are all metallic cans. Look old fashioned.....if that helps

I was excited!!!!

Quantcast Chelsea Clinton to Feature Gluten-Free Cake at Wedding | NFCA

Chelsea Clinton to Feature Gluten-Free Cake at Wedding

At her July 31 wedding, Chelsea Clinton plans to have her cake and eat it too—as long as it’s gluten-free. The daughter of Former President Bill Clinton and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is allergic to gluten, so wedding plans call for a gluten-free confection, according to AisleDash:

"Calls to three top bakers in New York state, including family favorite Lulu's in Scarsdale, have not confirmed who will be making the couple's wedding cake, but a gluten-free cake is sure to be on the wedding menu."
 The cake news is just one of several leaks rounded up by AOL News. The Wall Street Journal reported that catering for the event will be provided by Blue Ribbon Restaurants, St. Regis Hotels and Resorts and Olivier Cheng Catering and Events, but did not note whether the dishes would be gluten-free.

Five Years Ago Today, The Celtics Ended Another 22-Game Winning Streak

I’m all about good coincidences, but I have to admit this one ranks pretty far up there. Tonight, the Miami Heat will arrive at the TD Garden as owners of the second longest winning streak in NBA history, when they face off with the Celtics. They have tied that second longest streak with none other than the 2007-08 Houston Rockets, who put together a 22-game hot streak back in the winter of 2008.

Incredibly, Houston’s streak ended on March 18, 2008 on a nationally televised game, against none other than the Celtics. Boston played without Ray Allen that evening at the Toyota Center, with Tony Allen getting the start in his place. After playing to a tie at halftime, the Celts exploded in the second half against Tracy McGrady and company, blowing Houston out of the water to bring an abrupt halt to that 22-game run, as Leon Powe came through with a big 21 points off the bench.

The fun part of this however is that there is one prominent member of the Miami Heat that was also a starter on that Rockets team. Can you name who it is?

That would be none other than Shane Battier. Although the swingman is not a star, seeing a player of his caliber play a important role on both of these teams that can put together a streak like this is no surprise. You need reliable role players like Battier to put a run together like this.

Fortunately for the Celtics though, they have a chance to break Battier’s heart another time tonight at the Garden. In the meantime, enjoy the box score and some highlights from the C’s 20-point beatdown, five years ago today.

Box Score

  • High Rollers

    • Josh_5

      We must protect this house!!!!

    • kemar

      crawford do that

  • CelticsBIG3

    Thats pretty amazing that it happened on the same day. I remember that game, that was at the end of the Texas Triangle sweep.

    • Rav

      Yeah, a lot of critics at the time were saying that's where this team will get found out. But they crushed it.

      Critics were chirping before the season, after the Celtics won like .700 of our first 20 games, right before the trip, right before the playoffs, after the two 7-game playoff series (this one's somewhat understandable), after the 2nd game in the WCF, and right before the Finals.

      When you see people refer to the 07-08 season now, it seems like the Cs were destined to win, and looked like it throughout the season (except in the first two rounds of the playoffs). In reality, a lot of the time a lot of people didn't think of them that highly.

  • KillerGymRat

    How about that KG dunk? Almost forgot he used to be able to take off from that far away.

    And WTF is with Houston fans. Their team has the second longest win-streak in NBA history and the lower level seats are empty.

  • Banner18

    That Pierce And 1…Gawd

  • Rav

    James Posey: 0 points (he only took one shot), but 10 rebounds in under 30 mins. And you can bet he defended Tracy McGrady well too.

    Not keeping him after the championship season was/is definitely underrated as a Danny Ainge mistake. Sure he did play badly for the Hornets (or Pacers? Can't remember) after signing the contract, and it was a bit too long anyway (he was worth MLE money, but maybe for 2 or 3 years instead of the 4 he got), but I believe that part of that came from him having to switch to a non-contender, and also not being able to play his best role – he may not have been produced MLE-worthy play for the rest of the league, but he was more valuable than that to the Celtics.

Celtics coach Doc Rivers called it "Phenomenal." Heat coach Erik Spoelstra described it as "Greatness." In my opinion, no word can accurately describe D-Wade's scoring barrage yesterday afternoon.

As a Boston fan, the Celtics loss was disappointing, but as a basketball fan I couldn't help but appreciate Dwyane Wade's historic performance as I watched Game 4 slip away from the Celtics' grasp. Wade played his heart out, knowing full well that his season and possibly career in Miami was over if they lost. His 46 points were a playoff franchise high for the Heat and was undoubtedly one of the greatest all-time playoff performances against the Celts, but where exactly does it stack up?

The Celtics have had some incredible playoff scoring performances. Bob Cousy (50), Sam Jones(51), John Havlicek (54), and most recently Ray Allen (51) have all scored over 50 points in Boston green and white. However, only 3 players have cracked the half century mark against the C's in the postseason, Michael Jordan (63), Elgin Baylor(61), and Bob Pettit(50). Although Dwyane Wade fell 4 points short of the milestone, he shot 16 of 24 from the field, giving him a shooting percentage close to 67%.

Guards don't shoot 67%. It just doesn't happen. In the playoffs, regular season, pre-season, or pickup games at the local YMCA. Guards don't shoot 67%. When LeBron James scored 45 on the C's in game 7 of the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals, he shot 48% from the field. When MJ scored 63 points in 2OT back in '86 against Boston, he shot just under 54%. When Elgin Baylor set the record for most points in a regulation playoff game with 61 in the old Boston Garden, he didn't even shoot 48%. Heck, when Kobe dropped 81 in a regular season game a few years back, he didn't even shoot 61% from the field.

I'm confident Wade could have scored another dozen had he not made an effort to get his teammates involved early in the contest. Amazingly, Wade only had 2 points in the 2nd quarter. He did however pick up the slack and score 30 of his 46 points in the 2nd half to set another franchise record. Although Jordan outscored Wade, he had 2 extra overtime periods and failed to win the game. Celtics fans may appreciate that fact, but it certainly takes away from his achievement. Baylor won the game for the Lakers in possibly the most underrated playoff performances of all time.

In yesterday’s game D-Wade was knocking down treys off the dribble and shot 5 for 7 from beyond the arc. Although there wasn't a hand in his face on every attempt, they weren't wide open 3 pointers either. Boston's plan to stop Wade was to prevent him from getting to the basket and make him be a jump shooter. After the game, Celtics captain Paul Pierce said. “On a normal day those are shots you want him to take, but it wasn’t a normal day.” Indeed, Wade's performance was far from normal, but was it the best ever against the C's? That's for you to decide.

    Well written and researched piece. Often when players have huge scoring nights, their totals are spiked by an overtime to two. Wade didn't have that luxury. The 16 FG's are very impressive considering that if you told me he'd score 46 points in a game, I would have guessed a ton of that would have come from the line. Wade put on a show. I guess I forgive Breen now for what seemed at the time as over the top gushing.

  2. Probably right behind Jordan's performance. Good article.

  3. tb727 says:

    Great article, his shooting percentage puts into perspective just how fantastic he was yesterday

  4. ThomasJ says:

    Nice article about a super performance. I think Paul's quote sums it up the best.

    Taking nothing away from Wade, but he is a great scorer who isn't a good 3 point shooter(he shot 30% this season and 28.9% career)and this offensive explosion was mostly about him being absolutely unconscious from long range.

    We all rip Sheed's 3 pt. shooting, but Wade is in the same class as the lazy chucker from long range normally, but he came up big yesterday.

  5. tb727 says:

    Uh oh Thomas, you open a can of worms around here with ANY reference to Sheed lol.

  6. JR says:

    I might be in the minority, but I prefer Wade to 'Sheed...

  7. Bailey says:

    Thanks guys. Hopefully Wade's performance only has 1 act.

  8. Jenda says:

    Great article Bailey.
    And JR, you'd have to pick someone much more resentful than D-Wade against TLB to be in the minority.

  9. ThomasJ says:

    I wasn't saying I liked Sheed better than Wade.

    Wades's not lazy and not a chucker, his usual bricklaying from long range is done with more discretion.

    LeBron James isn't considered a 'great' shooter but he is better than Wade from 3 range.

    Game four was an aberration and I would play him the same way in game 5. Wade will have to be unconscious again with 50+ to win.

    Not criticizing a well written article, let's just take a deep breath and not mention MJ's game.

One Through Love

With a focus on Divine Love or "Ashk" or "Eshgh" as the central, binding force of all creation, ONE THROUGH LOVE brings together a growing, international group of "Lovers," each of whom shed a unique light on the teachings of Rumi and Shams.

ONE THROUGH LOVE aspires to create a cinematic, experiential sense of the sufi mystical experience, using the teachings and revelations that emerged through the lives, poetry and writings of Hz. Jalaluddin Rumi and Shams of Tabriz. While known for centuries to millions of people throughout the Middle East and Asia, in the past decade, Rumi’s teachings have attracted a growing number of people in western countries. This discovery of Rumi and Shams in the west has greatly expanded and re-energized the power and timelessness of the teachings.

"If one of the mature ones begins to whirl in the East, another one starts moving in the West. They are aware of each other's state."

From the Maqalat of Shams-i-Tabriz

Over 800 years ago, Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi taught that all religions and faiths are essentially One, and that all life, all existence and all creation are deeply united through Love.

"The minute I heard my first love story
I started looking for you,
not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along."

As we are able to work with additional people in the west and in the east, to film and edit more sequences, we will gradually expand this circle of “Lovers” and inspiring stories. They are designed to be used in the production of a feature-length film, which we are currently fundraising for, and which we hope to complete by 2012. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the ONE THROUGH LOVE experience, and will forward this site to friends and lovers everywhere.

"The lamps are different,
But the Light is the same.
So many garish lamps in the dying brain’s lamp shop,
Forget about them.
Concentrate on essence, concentrate on Light.
In lucid bliss, calmly smoking off its own holy fire,
The light streams towards you from all things,
All people,, all possible permutations of good, evil thought, passion.
The lamps are different,
But the Light is the same.
One matter, one energy, one Light, one Light-mind.
Endlessly emanating all things.
One turning, and burning diamond,
One, one, one.
Ground yourself, strip yourself down,
To blind loving silence.
Stay there, until you see
You are gazing at the Light
With its own ageless eyes."

Johan Braeckman - The Rise of Islamic Creationism

Host: Chris Mooney

Over the weekend, I was fortunate enough to attend the 2012 World Skeptics Conference in Berlin.

It’s important to keep tabs on our skeptical and freethinking colleagues around the world, and the challenges they’re facing. And in this case, perhaps the most disturbing story out of the conference involved the spread of a new form of creationism—namely, Islamic creationism—in Europe.

It’s a topic I’ve wanted to explore on the show for some time. So in Berlin, I stopped to speak with Johan Braeckman, who has been tracking the subject closely.

Johan Braeckman is a professor of philosophy of science at Ghent University in Belgium, and his research focuses on philosophical issues in the life sciences, particularly evolution and neuroscience. He’s the author of a number of books and papers, including, most recently, Doubting Thomas Has a Point: A Guide to Critical Thinking, coauthored with Maarten Boudry.

Real Estate Market Update for 94571 (Rio Vista, CA)
Welcome to July's Market Update. Let’s take a look at residential real-estate activity in your area during the month of July. The number of active listings was down 12% from one year earlier, and down 7% from the previous month. This smaller inventory means that buyers who waited to buy may have had a smaller selection to choose from. As you can see, the median listing price for the month was 310-thousand dollars. Compared to last year, the average number of days units spent on the market before being sold was up 19%. This higher number of days may signal a slowdown in the local inventory-turnover rate. The median sale price was just under 300-thousand dollars. The number of units sold increased 27% year-over-year, and increased 40% month-over-month. These figures may indicate that buyers have been taking advantage of opportunities in this market. Thanks for watching.

Claire Swindell - Blinc

Blinc Logo/Banner

Claire Swindell graduated in 2004 with a degree in Journalism, Film and Broadcasting, and soon launched her own business, Blinc. “I left the company that I was working with, and luckily previous colleagues began offering me work managing their events. I actually had the clients before I had the business”, Claire explains.

Founded in 2007, Blinc is an Events Management company, focusing on the financial sector. Blinc consults with businesses on their event and seminar models, assisting clients across the UK with managing events, and assisting on a consultant basis for clients who already have an event programme in place.

For Claire, it was important that the business had the right image from the start. “I knew that I needed business cards, a website and so on, so that I would be taken seriously by potential clients”, she explains. “Then it was a case of contacting absolutely everyone I knew!”

A few months into trading, the business was regularly securing new clients, but cash-flow proved to be a problem for Claire. “I’d have a meeting in August and win the business, but it wasn’t until January that the event would actually happen”, she explains. Through Cardiff University, Claire applied for a KEF Scholarship, and began to receive money each month to help her with living expenses whilst the business was developing. “KEF was great for travel”, Claire says. “I offer exclusivity on an area, so if I worked with an Independent Financial Adviser in Cardiff, I wouldn’t work with another in the same area. Therefore I was travelling a lot in those first few months to generate more business.”

Starting a business is always hard work, but Claire is grateful for the great opportunities which Blinc has afforded her. “When I’ve had doubts, my family always remind me of the achievements Blinc has brought, such as buying my first house”, Claire says. “Also, my job offers me so much flexibility. It’s certainly let me have the lifestyle I wanted to achieve, which is a huge success for me.”

Claire is currently supporting some of Cardiff University’s programmes for new entrepreneurs, including SIFE and Dynamo. “I have found these sessions extremely rewarding, and they are always an opportunity to remind yourself of how far you have come”, Claire explains.

Claire’s advice to any other budding businessmen and women is “You’re not alone - there is so much support available locally and nationally. You just have to ask. Don’t feel you have to be good at everything. If you have one skill which you think can be converted into a successful business, there will be people available to help you with the other areas.” Claire also emphasises the importance of using your contacts wisely. “It’s often easy to not realise who is in your networks”, she admits. “You must really analyse who can help you; friends, friends’ parents, friends of friends parents!”

Blinc is now in its third year. You can find out more about the services they offer at

CB: RPI sucks; Enter the cRPI

Since 1981, college basketball fans and selection committees have suffered under the tyranny of the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), perhaps the worst rating system in all of sports.

And why, you might ask, is the RPI such a waste of intellectual effort? Quite simply, it violates the first law of rating systems: If we are to only consider wins and losses (which is a mistake, but politically correct), we should never penalize a team for winning, regardless of the quality of the competition. Any time a team plays they risk losing-and a meaningful rating system should reflect that. The RPI seems to believe that beating NJIT somehow makes your team less deserving, and that's a load of crap.

So, out of respect for sports of all ball shapes and sizes, I have corrected the RPI. Consistent with the philosophy of the RPI, the cRPI only considers wins and losses, opponent's winning percentage and opponent's opponent's winning percentage-but it is a much more valid reflection of reality.

The cRPI looks a bit more complicated than the RPI, but it really only requires one extra step to calculate. It uses products instead of sums and logs instead of more sums, but its all the same to a computer.

So, how does the cRPI perform. First, I correlated the cRPI, the RPI and a team's winning percentage. A common, and valid complaint, against the RPI is that a team's winning percentage makes up only 25% of the equation. At r=.86, the correlation is actually quite high, but not as high as .96, the correlation between winning percentage and and a team's cRPI.

But the RPI also accounts for strength of schedule. The cRPI and RPI would use the same SOS metric, but use them in different ways. To compare the two, I have compared to two scales to the AP poll as of March 9. The cRPI rank correlates with the AP poll at r=.82 while the RPI rank correlates at only .69. My corrected RPI not only does not undervalue winning, but it is a significantly better reflection of how people judge teams.

the cRPI also has some real nice additional features-it is completely decomposable, it will tend to approximate a normal distribution at both the national level and in the sampling distribution of individual teams, and, relatedly, it can be used for statistical testing and setting rough odds for a game outcome. The link below connects to the complete rating and ranking of the 340 some division I college basketball teams.

Default DNS software?
Posts: n/a
As I've read Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) solves the N-S equations without any approximation.

I'm a real newbie and would like to know if there exists software available, comercial or not to solve flows in closed domains, laminar and turbulent.

Thanks in advance for any comment.

My friend got a DNS code developed, has been publishing papers for more than 10 yrs. But I don't think anyone will give you a robust DNS code for free Can you be more specific about what kind of application you wanna use the DNS code?

I would like to model laminar flowing fluids containing small ammounts of particles. My interest is in counting them as exactly as possible when they impact a surface.

So far the code I have give me strange results and would like to try DNS.

My interest is purely academic, not commercial.

thnx for your answer.

Hello Newbie, If you are looking at laminar case, DNS approach or solving the normal Navier-Stokes Equations is the same.

The term, "DNS" is used when the turbulent effects are captured without resorting to any modeling of the turbulent effects.

Thanks, Thomas

CVS takes personalization to next level with new site

Woonsocket, R.I. -- CVS/pharmacy officially unveiled on Thursday a new personalized digital experience on, which features extensive health information and resources in addition to customized deals and savings information.

“It is one step of many that is focused on creating the most personalized and accessible shopping experience. … After 14 years of ExtraCare’s track record, we are uniquely positioned to make sure that the logic and the thinking and the insights that we have really pay off for the customer, both in terms of their health objectives and their savings objectives,” Rob Price, senior VP and CMO for CVS/pharmacy, said.

One of the key highlights of the revamped site is the pharmacy page, which is designed for easy management of health information so shoppers can not only remember to refill and pick up prescriptions but also gather the information they need about what's in their medicine cabinet. Visitors also have access to a Drug Information Center to check for drug interactions and identify pills by shape, color and imprint.

The new site also features a hub for ExtraCare members to help them manage their savings and deals. ExtraCare members can view their ExtraSavings and ExtraBucks Rewards and send ExtraBucks Rewards and select coupons directly to their card via the "Send to Card" digital savings option. In addition, shoppers can turn toward the new deals hub for even more exclusive offers including "Deal of the Day" flash sales.

As part of its digital commerce initiative, CVS has also developed the Endless Aisle, which features those items available only online or offers a deeper product assortment than what might be available in the store.

“We are going to be looking at a number of categories where we have the credibility and the trust from our customers to add to our assortment online, and there will be more to come on that in the coming months,” Price said.

Dining, Sleeping & Playing Al Fresco!

We're back from our yearly trap shoot/camping trip! Things went so well with Claire, I'm really glad we did a trial run recently. Having the pack 'n play was awesome, but
the biggest difference was the other kids and teens for Claire to play with. Ginny, 15, was especially helpful (thank you AGAIN if you're reading this!) and Claire just adored her. I wish I had snapped a photo of the two of them, we'll have to wait for next year!

Most of the families camping had dogs so Claire had lots of animals to chase after, not to mention all the kids. She slept so well while camping, probably a combination of cool air and tons of exercise. We upgraded from a thermarest to a twin air mattress making things much more comfortable for Mommy & baby while nursing at night.
Our friends James and Cat watched Claire on Sunday so Mommy and Daddy could terrorize the orange birdies on the trap field together, and we even found time to ride the old Yamaha dirt bike. Cat got her first dirt bike lesson and next year she'll be zooming around with the kiddos

Enjoy the captioned slide show below, my time for posting with commentary is limited - Claire is pulling on my pants looking for some attention.

  1. yes soooo much fun this past weekend and it really was no problem at all watching that little ball of energy run around and face-plant in the grass all day haha and you missed a couple of good photo moments...robyn (not jeff's wife, but steve's) put her on their dog, lacey's, back and she just went off and rode her like a mini pony...it was the cutest and jeff had her on the quad for a little ride around camp- i think she really loved it! i can't wait for next labor day, it seems like too long of a time for it to pass! =[

  2. We had a lot of fun with you guys this weekend ... wish it wasn't so short! Miss you already. :-)

  3. Hey, Claire, I hear that you have been hanging around with your new friend, Al Fresco. Is he the one who made you the Rigatonis? You sure look like you were having fun. When do you get to go again?
