SYDNEY, May 18, 2005 – RSA Security Inc (Nasdaq: RSAS) has added five specialists to its sales, technical sales and marketing teams. The move reflects the 53 per cent year-on-year revenue growth in 2004 in Australia and New Zealand and continued increase in business during Q1 of 2005.

You might be going to some gatherings where you'll see colleagues and other potential referral partners (people who might refer to you and who you might refer to) this week. If you've been reading my blog, or if you've ever talked to me about networking, you know I'm NOT going to tell you to bring a bunch of business cards and ask everyone to refer clients to your practice. That doesn't work, and it isn't fun for you or for the other guests!
Last week I went to a holiday party where I saw a whole bunch of colleagues, and it got me thinking about how therapists can network well at a party, and how they can make networking mistakes. Therapists who see networking as a long-term effort, and who are focused on building authentic relationships, succeed at networking. That's true at a party just as much as it is true at a one on one coffee date. Choose a few people who you want to know better, and create a deeper connection with those people. Connect with them in a meaningful way, asking them the curious questions that help you understand them better. Ask them some interesting questions about their work, like "How are you working differently now than you were a few years ago?" You'll learn about their recent training and other influences, and you'll avoid getting stock answers you might if you only asked "how is your practice going?" Ask them personal questions too. Find out about their kids and favorite restaurant.
Don't focus on telling them about your work. Most people will ask, and at that point, choose just one thing you want to be known for, and talk about it as you let your enthusiasm shine. You might think for a few minutes before you arrive about what you most want to share. Don't fall into commiserating about the difficult parts of private practice. Focus on what you love about your work. Yes, it is a good idea to bring some business cards just in case. I admit I actually forgot mine last week.

Use the next link to go to the Embraco search page. From there you will get an option to change the system of units. (I have found it's best to do the search in SI units then change to English units after.) Enter a compressor model or the capacity and operating conditions required. It will then take you to a results page where you will see all of the available model variations. Choose one and it will give you general information, performance data and accessories available.

A Dependent Care Account (DCA) allows you to be reimbursed a maximum of $5000 (or $2,500 for married-filing separate) on a pre-tax basis for child care or adult dependent care expenses for qualified dependents that are necessary to allow you or your spouse to work, look for work, or attend school full-time.
Your DCA can be used to reimburse you with pre-tax dollars if the expenses for your dependents meet the IRS definition of dependent care expenses for income tax purposes. An adult (e.g., parent, grandparent, and adult disabled child) may qualify as a dependent if you are providing more than half of that person's care for the year.
Claims Processing
Healthy Dollars works with employees to ensure they are set up for the continual reimbursement with direct deposit if eligible. This process eliminates the need to submit claims throughout the year and provides a single claim form that can be completed annually. Click here to access the Dependent Care Account Form.

The producers of HAMILTON are determined to combat unauthorised resale and to protect patrons from having to pay highly-inflated prices. Therefore, Delfont Mackintosh Theatres will be operating a new paperless ticketing system, HAMILTON Paperless Ticketing, powered by Ticketmaster, which will prevent computer programmes ('bots') from harvesting vast amounts of tickets to make available for resale at inflated prices.
No traditional tickets will be issued in advance (posted). The payment card you use to originally purchase your tickets will gain you admission to the theatre on the night.
When you book, you'll receive a simple email confirmation as proof of purchase. This is not a ticket. Upon arrival at the theatre, you'll be required to present your original email confirmation, your original payment card and a Government-issued photo ID such as a driving license or passport as proof of ID. The cardholder must be present and attend the performance.
The theatre will then swipe your card to produce seat location slips which gain you and your party admittance into the auditorium. All members of the party should enter the theatre at the same time. Anyone in your group who arrives after the rest of the group has entered will not be admitted.
If you have booked for the 2nd December 2019 onwards
Please note that if you have booked tickets for the 2nd December 2019 onwards, tickets will be posted, so just bring your tickets for entry. Tickets can be passed on as a gift.
As this is a new system, your order won't show in your Ticketmaster account online, however you will receive an email confirmation once your booking has processed.
Tickets will be dispatched 2 weeks before the performance.
What do I need to bring with me to the theatre on the night?
Three things:
· your original purchase confirmation,
· the payment card used to make the original purchase
· an officially-issued photo ID such as a driving license or passport.
You will not be able to enter if you don't have all of these.
I can't find my original confirmation email - what should I do?
You can generate a receipt for your booking at any time from your Ticketmaster account.
What if my credit card expires before the performance?
Please call us on 0333 003 5938 to update your card details to your new card. This phone line will be open between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
If you are calling from overseas please call +44 333 003 5938.
Can I give tickets as a gift or issue a Letter of Authorisation for someone else to attend?
Unfortunately not. Hamilton is operating a Ticketless admission system designed to limit the transferability of tickets in order to prevent touting and the unauthorised reselling of tickets at inflated prices. If we allowed people to transfer tickets, it would create a flaw in the reason why the system was adopted.
If you have tickets but your circumstances change, contact us up to 48hrs before a performance and we will cancel and refund your booking subject to a cancellation fee of £3.00 per order.

Helpful Tips For Using Email To Market
When people think about email marketing they often consider it spam.
You should always work towards changing their minds.
It is your job to create an entertaining, informative and effective email campaign that people will look forward to being part of and patronize the business of.
These are some great ideas you can try right away.
If you plan to tackle email marketing, you need to know you have to have the permission from all those you wish to include on your email list. If you don't get permission first, you may get lots of spam complaints and even lose otherwise loyal customers.
Learn as much as you can, from a variety of sources, to become a master of email marketing.
There are lots of great online books or even ones in libraries.
There are a lot of classes that you may be able to enroll in to benefit you.
Try many different email formats. New offers and the most crucial information should always be at the top. Vary email formats regularly to determine which ones generate the most sales. Once you determine the format that works for your customers, stick with it. This will help build consistency into your email marketing; your subscribers will be familiar with your style and more apt to open your email, as it is something they trust.
Do not send any more than a single email message a week. Your customers are busy and don't want to be bombarded by too many messages. If you send too many messages, your customers may begin deleting them unread.
In addition to using what you've just read, think of your audience in order to be effective at email marketing. What are they hoping to see? Think about what they would like to read. Then, convert these interests into sales opportunities! Take these ideas and start making money.

Feast your eyes upon these ITM Aerobars and this Turbo saddle....
Some weeks back in the context of a very unusual Bianchi, which, some implied had been conceived from a very large, spares bin, Tony playfully suggested I might be able to conceive a smaller production run myself. Reasoned or otherwise, pattern and obsolete parts entice me-going a long way to explaining my gravitation to people's winter bikes. I don't subscribe to the philosophy that winter/trainers must be thrown together blindly using a hotchpotch of random parts from the spares bin. Neat and tidy using a downgraded race grouppo suggests good planning, although uniformity doesn't appeal to me. This week from my warlock's cauldron, I produce these…Cinelli Spinacci from the late 90's. Once popular with the pro peleton, the evil ones at the UCI outlawed them in 2000 so they pretty much vanished to the bowels of the bargain basement and classified ads.
These were acquired very cheaply in 2003 on the basis they'd "Come in handy at some point" and until recently they sought refuge in the spares drawer. Popping some fresh test rubber aboard the Univega saw the unfortunate and untimely demise of my beloved speed lever and as I searched for a replacement tyre lever, the distinctive Spinacci end plugs peered out from a cardboard box.
Transfixed, I unearthed said bars and mused "Teenage Dream". Ever evolving, the call of long, light evenings still demands some illumination-if only of the seen-by variety. One thing lead to another and these Torch end blinkers slotted unobtrusively into the ends, easily removed come battery changes…Gathering momentum, it was time to salvage some seemingly well-preserved bar wrap from an old set of Cinelli drops. Thinking this would complement the green and black livery perfectly the unravelling began…
Despite being stored in a dry and relatively warm garage, the adhesive had become a hard, brittle mess. My gaze turned to the boulevard of burst tubes and the solution was obvious. Back inside, I cut along the seams and bound it tightly around the extensions, securing the ends with some super glossy electrical tape. A more aesthetically pleasing solution would've been to fashion two sleeves from a road tube and slide them over but doing so wouldn't provide the same insulation from road shock, besides 26x1.5-2.1 was all I had. These ITM Olympus have also resurfaced and shall whiz aboard the Holdsworth assuming an oversized fitting kit can be procured. Deathly silence from distributors and retailers alike is encouraging lateral thought-there's a good chance another brand will be of the same diameter.
Race blades at the ready (remember the Teenage Dream was built during the era when cynically tacking mudguard eyes to frame ends meant they could be marketed as a trainers-or fast road in the days before audax despite insufficient clearance around the fork crown!); It's time to relive 1991's summer of tractor racing, young man's angst arguably superseded by mid-life (but definitely mellower) crisis. Wonder if I can beat my 37.5mph overtaking record.
Hopefully the highways agency will have filled in some of the rim crunching craters by time my beloved road bike is roused from its relative hibernation… They're breeding so prolifically locally that even the Univega with its beefy 26x1.75s is reminding me to skirt round them. Otherwise, the loyal loyal load lugger will have the Teenage Dream's hoops aboard the sprint carriers, beating a path to the wheel builder's door. Yes, I bought a pair around the same time as the Spinacci and following several coats of clear lacquer, used them for their intended purpose-albeit lugging wire on cross and mtb wheels.
Returning to retro, I love and loathe it in equal measure. Love the fact some otherwise extremely rare/expensive things are now readily available and bring a lot of happiness- reasonable quality, nicely priced road fixer framesets and complete builds being a case in point. Unfortunately, there's a point where the balance tips and the economics of supply and demand push prices through the roof. Only a few years back someone would gift you a old but very worthy track frame that was "taking up space in the loft" not now. That said there's been a sudden rush of ex soviet track/pursuit bikes come under my radar thanks to family links with the Eastern block.
A Dawes built Kirk from twenty years back has also come to my attention. Wouldn't hand over more than £20-not even for a nice one thanks to blancmange handling, poor casting and quick rot but they're an interesting piece of cycling history/ornament nonetheless and from another, deeply personal perspective, I can appreciate why people are firmly attached to theirs.
Shaun Audane is a freelance writer/product tester with over twenty-eight years riding experience, the last twelve (120,000 miles) spent putting bikes and kit through their paces for a variety of publications. Previous generations of his family worked at manufacturing's sharp end, thus Shaun can weld, has a sound understanding of frame building practice and a preference for steel or titanium framesets.
Citing Richard Ballantine and an Au pair as his earliest cycling influences, he is presently writing a cycling book with particular focus upon women, families and disabled audiences (Having been a registered care manager and coached children at Herne Hill Velodrome in earlier careers)

hey Mr. Audane howabout this for a do it all bike..(i'd have one in royal blue i think)

Last week, I was asked to present my mental health and disability advocacy program at Fulton Montgomery Community College by the student-run ABLE club.
"Able" is quite the understatement.
Abilities Beyond Limitation through Education is "a club for students who wish to explore ways to make attending college easier for students with disabilities." As soon as I met these students, I could see they more-than-exceeded this description.
I arrived on campus, (two trains, one Amtrak, and a few taxis later) and was immediately welcomed by passionate student advocates, determined to create a campus community based on compassion and understanding - a campus that is clearly taking an empowered approach to mental health, standing up for their rights, and claiming their voices as young fearless allies and leaders for all students.
The ABLE group brought me to campus because they wanted to engage their peers in a conversation about mental health, and make them aware of the wonderful accessibility resources on available on campus.
And for good reason - the resources available at FMCC were extremely impressive. With a range of housing options, warm and personable staff, and a range of activities, services and events, the question became what resources to learn about first. Both faculty and students were tremendously eager to tell me all about the various ways they are addressing mental health, wellness, and equal rights for everyone on campus.
Having quality accessibility services available to all is a cause very dear to my heart. As someone with an ostomy and various other medical needs, it's even difficult for me - a gutsy, extroverted theatre ham - to speak up for the accommodations I need. The students of ABLE are my new role models.
What did I learn speaking to FMCC? As Walt Disney once said,"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." These students certainly have courage and a dream. Haley, the president of the ABLE club, described her dream of being a disability advocate as passionately as my dream of being on the Broadway Stage. This is a campus with ambition.
But more importantly, this is a campus with the right idea.
Being able to reach out for help and find support is what helps us realize we're not alone. Mental health resources are the tools that create a path to a solution. When we ask for help, we can start to bridge the gap of communication between departments on campus -- academia, career counseling, wellness resources, and student groups -- and create a communicative, inclusive environment.
Improving student mental health on campus is not a quick fix, or a one-size-fits-all job. We need to recognize that each student is unique, with their own set of needs, and each student needs to be heard. Let's infuse our campuses with questions, start the conversation, and just keep listening.
These are just a few of the lessons the campus taught me at Fulton-Montgomery Community College campus taught me this week.
Thank you FMCC, for making us all aware that we are more ABLE than we know!

However, if you should find yourself in a dilemma out of these hours, you will have the option of completing an online contact form and are guaranteed to get a response by the following evening.

LevelUp, the company that manages The Urban Juicer mobile app, groups your mobile transactions into a single monthly bill to help reduce payment processing fees. We have opted to use monthly billing so that the money we save on processing fees can get passed back to you as rewards!
In some cases, your transactions might be settled earlier than your monthly billing date. Which we understand can be a bit confusing, so LevelUp is changing its early settlement policy to help you better anticipate when you're likely to be charged early. LevelUp will continue to bundle your transactions and charge your card on your monthly billing date. LevelUp will charge your card early only when your transaction value reaches $150. After this one-time charge, they'll return to a monthly billing schedule. This happens in an effort to combat fraud and keep your account safe.
Here's an example: In the first month, John Smith buys $45 in juice and is charged $45 on his billing date on the 10th. During the second month, he spends $155 in the first 10 days. Because his last transaction brought his total higher than $150, he is charged the $155 early. He then spends another $34 before the 9th of that month, and he is charged $34 on his regular billing date of the 10th. His total charges still match his $189 in purchases, but they're split into two charges instead of one.
We hope that clearly communicating this change will make it easier for you to predict when charges are taken out. If you have any questions, please contact email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Feb. 17, 2007

Los Angeles - Sophomore Brandon Crawford belted a two-out grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning to lead No. 15 UCLA past East Carolina, 9-7, at Jackie Robinson Stadium Saturday afternoon. Crawford finished the afternoon hitting 2-for-4 with five RBI and three runs scored.
Junior Brant Rustich (1-1) picked up the win, and freshman Garett Glaypool notched his first collegiate save. East Carolina's Shane Mathews (0-1) was tagged with the loss.
UCLA (5-4) began its eighth-inning rally after outfielder Mickey Weisser and third baseman Eddie Murray walked. Second baseman Alden Carrithers loaded the bases with a base hit to center field. With two outs, Crawford belted an 0-1 pitch over the left field fence to clear the bases and give the Bruins the lead.
In a contest that featured seven lead changes, East Carolina (2-3) took a 7-5 lead in the top of the eighth. Outfielder Jamie Ray reached first base on a throwing error by third baseman Eddie Murray, stoled second and advanced to third on a wild pitch. With two outs, Jake Dean drove a pinch-hit single to left field, scoring Ray from third and tying the contest 5-5. East Carolina's next two batters - David Forbes and Harrison Eldridge - drew walks to load the bases. Shortstop Dale Mollenhauer picked up two RBI with a single to right field.
East Carolina took the game's first lead, 1-0, in the second inning. With two outs, designated hitter Stephen Batts drove home catcher Corey Kemp with a double down the left field line.
Left fielder Cody Decker answered with a two-run home run in the bottom of the second, giving the Bruins a 2-1 lead. Decker's first round-tripper of the season plated designated hitter Cody Decker, who reached first base on a single up the middle.
With runners at first and second in the top of the fifth, Pirate shortstop Dale Mollenhauer reached first on a bunt single to the left side, and all three runners advanced an extra base when pitcher Brendan Lafferty overthrew first baseman Tim Stewart. David Forbes scored on the error to tie the game, 2-2. First baseman Brandon Henderson brought home Harrison Eldridge with a sacrifice to center, and reliever Jason Novak recorded two strikeouts to exit the jam.
Crawford walked to lead off the bottom of the sixth and advanced to second on senior Tim Stewart's base hit to left field. Crawford took third base when Pirate left-hander Dustin Sasser overthrew second base on a pickoff attempt. The Bruins tied the contest, 3-3, when Crawford scored from third on a wild pitch.
Eldridge led off the seventh inning with an inside-the-park home run to give East Carolina the lead, 4-3. Eldridge's hit was a sinking line drive that bounced under a diving Tim Murphy in center field and skipped to the wall.
In the bottom of the seventh, the Bruins added two runs to assume a 5-4 lead. Crawford delivered an RBI-double to left field, scoring second baseman Alden Carrithers to tie the game. Gabe Cohen helped break the 4-4 tie with a double over Eldridge's head in center field, plating Crawford.
UCLA and East Carolina finish the weekend series at 1 p.m. Sunday. The Bruins will send freshman left-hander Gavin Brooks to the mound. East Carolina's will start either Jeff Ostrander or Bailey Daniels.
Game Notes: Crawford's grand slam was UCLA's second of the season; Gabe Cohen nailed a grand slam in UCLA's third game of the season...UCLA baseball celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the 1997 squad's trip to the College World Series prior to Saturday's game; over 20 players, coaches and staff members from that team returned to Jackie Robinson Stadium as the former Bruins threw out ceremonial first pitches to players on the 2007 team...game time temperature reached 86 degrees at Jackie Robinson Stadium.

Recycling Scrap Forklift Batteries
Where should you recycle your scrap industrial batteries?
Do you know the importance of the disposal and documentation of your spent forklift batteries? It is important that your scrap batteries are going to the proper recycler. In today's world, you don't send or sell your scrap batteries to just anyone!
We buy used, depleted steel case forklift truck batteries (and good used ones). New England Battery provides documentation proving the path to recycling which can satisfy inquiries made to your company regarding your method of disposing of spent batteries. Your company will need this documentation when inspectors ask for it.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and State Laws require documentation to prove that your spent forklift batteries have been properly recycled.
For more information visit the EPA web site www.epa.gov.
When is a forklift battery scrap?
Can your industrial battery be serviced, or is it time to recycle?
When a battery has worked for 5+ years in an industrial application the lead on the positive plates has been spent and it can't be recovered.
When the majority of lead is gone,…..it's gone! A battery's life is governed by cycles (1 discharge + 1 recharge = 1 cycle) When they're gone, no amount of fresh electrolyte (acid) will bring back battery capacity.
When an internet web site tells you they can rejuvenate your old spent forklift battery, take it from an experienced local battery company …..it's not possible. Don't believe them! You are better off doing business with a local battery house, not someone hundreds of miles away. Accountability with documentation from a local battery distributor in New England is smarter and safer than a faraway internet deal.
……..However This is not to say that every battery that "doesn't run a full shift," is not serviceable. It takes a series of procedures to test the capacity, acid balance and equalize the cells to be sure that the battery has enough power to perform at a useable level. The rest of the process consists of removing the surface corrosion, inspecting cables and refinishing the tray with an acid resistant paint.
New England Battery is a full service battery company.
We're here to help whether you are looking for battery recycling, battery service, or battery sales.
We are manufacturers' representatives for several battery and charger lines. We operate a complete battery and charger service facility.

It's easy to say we believe in God and call ourselves followers of Christ, but this doesn't necessarily mean we actually have faith. By definition, faith means having complete trust in someone or something. Therefore, it is actually impossible to obtain complete faith without first having trust.
So then faith simply means we completely trust God.
If we don't trust God then we have a lack of faith. And if there is any lack, can we say we have faith at all?
Our faith in God cannot be based on a life that is easy, comfortable, or absent of any difficulties and saying we trust Him. Having complete faith is not comfortable. It demands people to live a life of risk. It requires people to experience real challenges. This is the only way to really develop the level of trust that God actually wants us to have; a level of trust that says we are people of true faith. We have faith because we first have trust.
Currently, I'm in a season of shift where God is making some radical changes. And I mean RADICAL. Out of fear, I thought about how hard these changes might be. So, I tried to strategize against these hardships and make my own plans to help God's plans. Because I had a lack of trust and little faith, I let fear drive me to a place of striving instead of surrendering. Out of fear, I attempted to help God.
One morning, in the midst of my fear, God stopped me and He spoke, "Daughter, I don't need your help. Just trust me."
Wait what. [Someone hit the brakes!]
God doesn't need my help.
In fact, God doesn't need anything from me. Seriously, God is God. He is loving, faithful, and good. All He wants is for me to trust in Him. Immediately I felt the weight of my fear lifted and a sense of peace over me.
I realized then that faith doesn't come from striving, but from surrendering.
So having faith actually means we surrender and trust God. But, how do we get there?
Friends, if you are struggling to trust God with any area of your life right now, remember that God knows exactly what He is doing. He will never call you into something that He hasn't already prepared you for. He knows what is the absolute best for you (which is truly beyond what you could imagine for yourself). All you need to do is surrender and trust Him.
Before you go to bed tonight, pray for a greater level of faith to rise up in you. Here is a sample prayer:
Lord, I thank you that you are the God of the heavens and the earth. I thank You that I can trust You with my whole life because you are the one who created me. You know every hair on my head and You fashioned me for a special purpose. Please forgive me for any doubt that prevented me from trusting You completely. I know that I have trusted you with very little faith, but I want to trust you so much more. I repent of my ways and invite You into my heart to change me from the inside out. I ask in Your name that You would rid me of of my fears, expand my faith and deepen my trust in You. In Jeremiah 29:11 Your promise is that You have great plans to prosper me, to give me a hope and a future. So Lord I pray that You would prove Your word to me and cause me to believe all that You are. In Jesus name, Amen
And my prayer for you, dear brothers and sisters, is that you would step out boldly into the life God has called you into with a tender heart that trusts Him. I pray that God will awaken a greater level of faith in you that causes you to be blessed beyond measure and that others would be blessed because of it. Let a level of faith rise in you that exalts God so that others would declare His glory. In Jesus name.
Love, L

How to Use Online Resources to Customize Your MySpace Page
Although MySpace is highly customizable, most of the tools for dressing up a MySpace page are actually not provided by MySpace. A whole new class of online resources has popped up to help MySpace users make their pages unique:
Thomas' Myspace Editor: Generates a unique page of programming code you can drop into your MySpace page to give it your own look. Simple drop-down lists let you set the look of all your MySpace page features.
MySpace Toolbox: Provides a profile editor that's similar to Thomas' Myspace Editor, except it takes the tools a step further — into the realm of predesigned layouts and ready-to-load goodies such as backgrounds, images, and videos by popular musical artists.
Glitter Graphics: Includes a generator you can use to create your own glittery messages that are sure to catch any visitor's eye. The site also features tools for creating blog and profile surveys, as well as eye candy (scrolling images and graphics).
Tools For MySpace: Features a page-layout editor, as well as a few other fun tools — including code for adding games to your page, a customizer for your Contact Table, and a page translator that alters your page to another language or into slang.
GIMP: The GNU Image Manipulation Program. GIMP is image-editing software you can use to get your photos ready for MySpace. The software is on a par with professional image editors, such as Adobe Photoshop — and is completely free.
Windows Movie Maker: A free application that comes with Windows XP and Vista, and it works only on PCs. It allows you to edit and manipulate your videos before you post them.
Note that Windows Movie Maker will not be on Windows 7 by default, users will have to download it in the Windows Live suite.
*iMovie: If you have a Mac, look for the latest release of iMovie to accomplish the same tasks as the Windows Movie Maker. It's not a free product, but it's part of Apple's iLife suite of products.
Audacity: A sound recorder and editor program. This free software turns your PC or Mac into a recording studio, for your band's new tunes or your next podcast.
Quizilla: A site where people can create quizzes designed to give you insight into your personality. After you get your quiz results, you can generate some code that you can paste into MySpace so you can share the new insight with your MySpace friends.

Man wanted in weekend Raleigh stabbing death is arrested on Maryland highway
Maryland state troopers Monday arrested a 29-year-old man whom Raleigh police had charged with murder Sunday in a fatal stabbing on Vista View Court the night before, police said.
Sean Jason Flores, 29, was named in an arrest warrant that police had sworn out after David Choko Brown, 41, died Sunday.
The Herald-Mail in Hagerstown, Md., reported that that a Maryland trooper saw a car doing 91 mph on Interstate 70 about 2 a.m. Monday, and that trooper and two others chased it until the driver stopped at gas station near Hagerstown.
Flores was behind the wheel, authorities said. His identification said he was from Los Angeles, they said.
In addition to the warrant for Flores' arrest, Raleigh police had entered information in a national computer system saying that the Nissan Maxima that Flores was driving had been taken during the stabbing and that Flores was believed to be driving it, spokeswoman Laura Hourigan said.
A radio dispatcher alerted the troopers who they likely were chasing, the Herald-Mail said.
Raleigh police found Brown seriously wounded after being sent to investigate a report of a shooting in the 5500 block of Vista View Court a little before 9 p.m. Saturday.
Brown was taken to WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh for treatment of the stab wound, but died, police said.
Officers never found evidence of a shooting, police said.

Finally! I've finished the duvet for our master bedroom! I bought the fabric sometime in November and didn't start it until yesterday. It took two nights, two spools of thread and 2 1/2 romantic comedies to complete!
I'm quite pleased with the results. I went out and bought a king duvet for our queen bed as our queen duvet still showed the sheets on the sides and simply didn't look clean. Luckily the fabric I had bought worked out perfectly for the larger size (woot woot!). It took a lot of precise measuring and lining up the pattern, not to mention getting the zipper lined up and sewn in properly.
All in all it was worth the effort I think. Oh, and I got shades for our lamps, finally! Unfortunately the stands we got from Bou Clair don't match up with most other shades so I was pretty much forced to go back and get them there. Not that I don't like them, but I usually don't like being tied down to one store. It's a nice basic shade, but I may add a ribbon to the top and bottom rims to help tie them into the room a bit more.
Yes, we still need an actual bed frame. Having the mattress on the floor isn't ideal after all. I would like one with storage underneath ideally. I'm thinking this one from Ikea:
I'm not in love with the handles, but they could be replaced and at a lovely price tag of only $299 it's a top contender. Looking at other beds with storage, they can be upwards of $2K! Eeeks! I'll keep you posted on what we do in that department. Until then I'll be enamored with my new duvet. Sigh :)

Somalia SummaryHere are some of the main points:
1. Gift of the Givers (GOTG) is the largest NGO operational in Mogadishu presently. This was verified by the Somali President on state television 3 days ago.
2. Next in line are the Iranian and Turkish Red Cresent.
3. Other NGO's may have a presence but no real activities are undertaken by them.
4. GOTG has a sound relationship with all 16 Commissioners of the 16 Mogadishu districts of which 6 districts are totally under our control.
5. We are the only NGO providing hot meals and dry rations daily in the 6 districts we control which is where the largest concentration of refugees are located.
6. The reason we have not expanded to other districts is due to the fact that all the refugees have come to us simply because we provide food daily.
7. We run the only wet feeding in Mogadishu and have 4 centres presently through which we feed 47000 people twice daily.
8. We intend establishing 4 more Feeding Centres.
9. We supply a 1000 new families with dry rations daily. This is a substantial increase from the 300 families per day we initially commenced with.
10. We've recently set up an Orphan Centre near the airport and are feeding 3000 orphans daily.
11. We provide water for 15000 people daily through the borehole we established in one of the districts.
12. We are officially in control of Forlanini Hospital in North Mogadishu. The Health Ministry has issued us with a letter confirming this.
13. This hospital was in El Shabbab hands until they left on 19 August 2011. GOTG took control of it on 9 September 2011. We have a management, medical and security team there and are treating 800 patients daily 7 days a week.
14. GOTG has its own secure accommodation for its personnel and voluntary medical teams, has its own 4x4 passenger transport vehicles, its own delivery trucks, secure warehouses and armed military personnel as its security.
15. We have an excellent relationship with the Transitional Federal Government including the President, Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Health Minister and Internal Affairs Minister.
16. The President and several ministers visited us at Forlanini Hospital to thank GOTG and South Africa officially for service to Somalia and beseeched us not to leave.
17. We also have excellent relations with the AU forces, several of the Somali clans and the "elders", the Mogadishu airport authority and the clearing agents at the airport, the Mogadishu harbour authority and the clearing agents at the harbour, Bancroft International (a support agency for AU forces; two South Africans are involved here), the shipping line that operates from Dubai to Mogadishu, the Somali media and the Somali people.
18. El Shabbab have contacted us from the first day of our presence in Mogadishu from 18 July 2011 and have had cordial relations with us telephonically since that date.
19. In the first 47 days of our presence in Somalia our spend was R40 million rand which included:
A.Flying 11 planes into Mogadishu (2 were provided by the SANDF and one by private sector) with 175 tons of supplies, 93 medical and media personnel including all South African media groups, CNN, Chinese TV and BBC.
B.Sending 2080 tons of supplies on 5 ships.
C.Treating 10 700 patients, setting up our own theatre, working in 4 hospitals and performing 80 operations. D.10 000 families were given dry rations in that initial phase.
20. We have dispatched another 27 containers carrying 540 tons of supplies on 30 November 2011. Today we load one more container of medical supplies.
21. GOTG has official registration with the Somali government hence no custom duty is payable on supplies arriving in the country. The above is a summary of our Somalia project from 18 July 2011 to the present.
We thank all South Africans for their generous support of the Somalia project which is a shining example of Africans supporting Africa. The gratitude extends to the South African Government, media ( local and international), corporates, professionals, family businesses, schools, religious institutions, sports groups, students, pensioners and everyone in between. A special thanks to the numerous international donors and especially Magnus from Mary's Meals in Scotland who contributed USD 660 000 towards nutrition.

Thankful for….
* Emilyn's safe arrival and the help we were given in taking care of our other kids and stuff around the house.
* Collin's clear scans and positive tests results for other issues.
* Browyn and Cheyenne's continued health!
* All four of our kids being able to meet each other and be together. There were so many times we didn't even dare to hope this was possible and we are so thankful for it.
Please pray….
* For Collin's upcoming scans and tests- that they would continue to be clear of cancer and clear of other issues. He is currently being followed and seen by: oncology, hematology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, audiology, and GI as well as his regular pediatrician.
* For Browyn's continued healing- that she may be well enough soon for her port to come out!
* For the families who do are not able to have all their children together, who will not be sending their kids to school this year, and who everyday live with an empty place in their heart that was once filled with their child. It is impossible for me to be thankful for our blessings without remembering these families who know lose that I cannot even begin to imagine and hope and pray I never have to.
* That the journey that Collin, Browyn, and Cheyenne have been on and continue to travel will be used to show people the power of God and would either prove Him to those who doubt His existence or would bring all of us closer to God. I know in my heart that these kids did not go through all of this for no reason, that God has a great plan! I pray for myself that my life will continue to be changed because of this- I don't want time away from the hospital to cause me to forget or take for granted all of the blessings we have and all the things I learned because of all of this (and continue to learn).

Study: Ebooks Slowly Overtaking Physical Books
Physical books seem to be going the way of brick-and-mortar bookstores in the Digital Age.
According to a recent Pew Research Center study, the e-book-reading population is on the rise in the United States, growing to 23 percent of all Americans 16 and older in 2012. Digital books aren't simply becoming more trendypurchases of printed books actually fell 5 percent in the same age group this year.
The changes, according to study authors Lee Rainie and Maeve Duggan, coincide with increased U.S. ownership of electronic book-reading devicesmeaning an e-reader, a tablet, or both. In 2012, the percentage of Americans owning e-readers was 19 percent, up from 10 percent last year. Meanwhile, November stats point to about 25 percent of Americans ages 16 and older owning a tablet like Apple's iPador Amazon's Kindle Fire .
Unsurprisingly, those people who are more educated (with college or graduate degrees), more wealthy (earning more than $75,000 per year), and older (between 30 and 49) are the most likely to have digital book-reading devices.
Libraries, meanwhile, could be in trouble, based on a June Pew study pointing to a miniscule percent of people borrowing ebooks from librariesjust 5 percent, according to the research firm.
"Beyond that, there is growing public awareness that the vast majority of public libraries now lend ebooks. In the entire population of those ages 16 and older, the number who are aware that libraries offer ebook loans increased from 24 percent last year to 31 percent now," the study authors said.
Overall, reading remains a beloved pastime, as 75 percent of Americans older than 16 reported that they read a book, on any platform, in the last 12 monthsa slight decline from the 78 percent of respondents who said they had in 2011.

Even the cheaper version, the J1 150, is capable of hitting this speed, with its sole disadvantage being the smaller battery of 8.3 kWh, which means less time on the road between charges.
It would take an owner of the J1 200 two and a half hours to recharge, while the J1 150 would need three and a half hours to reach 80% capacity.
The bikes are equipped with a 2.4-inch high resolution display that shows battery usage and the speed you are riding at. Much of the electric equipment is integrated in the back wheel of the motorcycle, which is mostly covered by the bike's body.
The Johammer J1 is a strange-looking motorcycle, but not ugly. The front lamps resemble exhaust pipes, which makes the bike look like it has been made backwards. But it is a futuristic design, after all. The J1 is offered in white, silver, blue, green and yellow and buyers will have to pay £18,954 for the J1 150 version and £20,602 for the J1 200 model. It might be a little pricey, but it is surely a great alternative to petrol- and diesel-fuelled bikes.

Scroll though to see the tricky games your brain likes to play on you.
9 – Sympathetic Pain
What is sympathetic pain you ask? Well, have you ever seen someone slam their finger with the car door, and although it wasn't your finger, you were able to feel their pain? Well, that's what sympathetic pain is. Researchers used MRI scans to test how people's brains react when they see the image of an expression, and when they make the expression themselves.
8 – Sleep Drunkenness
Sleep drunkenness typically occurs when a person is woken suddenly. The person gets confused and will do strange things such as answering the phone when the alarm goes off or sometimes the person may even get violent and act belligerent. When the confusion wears, the person may not even remember behaving in such a way.
7 – Hypnagogia
Hypnagogic hallucinations occur when you are in that place where you are just about to fall asleep but are not quite there yet, or as you try to wake from your slumber. These hallucinations can be auditory or visual and are distinct from dreaming. Research shows Read More >
6 – The GPS Effect
Do you use your GPS to get just about everywhere? Well, researchers suggest you should stop, or at least use it only when you really need to. The GPS effect is the idea that relying too much on your navigation system not only gives you a false sense of security, but alsoRead More >
5 – Semantic Satation
Have you ever reread a word several times and found that the word began to lose meaning? Although it is a familiar word, you get confused. Scientists call this phenomenon semantic satiation. When you say a word, your brain finds the semantic information for it and connects the Read More >
4 – Peripheral Theory Of Emotion
To grasp a good understanding to this peripheral theory, I'd like you to imagine that you are on a camping trip. You and your family go fishing, you toast marshmallows, tell ghost stories, and then you tuck yourselves in for the night. The next morning you wake up to a ruckus, as you zip open your tent you see a roaring bear towering over you!
At this point you would assume you'd be screaming but Lange's peripheral theory of emotion states that not until your heart rate rises will your brain receive signals of danger and fear. Some scientists believe that emotional responses are on a loop but Lange's theory has yet to be disproven.
3 – Earworms
An EARWORM?! Don't worry, it's not what you think. Have you ever gotten a song verse stuck in your head on repeat? You sing it over and over for several days. Well, that's what you call an earworm. You begin singing the verse to this song but you don't know the rest, and since your mind doesn't like unfinished business,it puts that same verse on repeat. Your mind keeps coming back to that unfinished thought over and over expecting to complete it.
Scientists say that the only way to break the cycle is by focusing on a cognitive task, such as reading. Sometimes, however, the spell resurfaces.
2 – False Memories
Most of us are fully confident that we accurately recall events from our past. They are our fondest memories, our greatest experiences, so of course we do. Well, think again. Researchers have found that our minds fail to successfully take in all of our surroundings when creating a memory, so it makes something up that makes sense in order to fill in the gaps.
They conducted an experiment where they planted a memory in a woman's head, leading her to full heartedly believe that she had gotten lost in a mall as a child. When she retold the story she even made up a part where an older woman helped her. When the researchers told her that it was placed in her mind as an experiment, she had to call her parents to confirm that in fact that never took place. If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust?
1 – Sensory Deprivation
So what is sensory deprivation? It's the theory that when a person is deprived of sensory input, he/she will have hallucinations in order to fill that void. To test this theory, researchers placed test subjects in an anechoic room, a chamber made to block light and sound.
The subjects reported seeing faces, shapes, and having olfactory hallucinations. Some even reported feeling a threatening presence. Researchers explained that when we are deprived of sensory input, our mind gets confused and it creates its own. Not to worry though, this won't happen often but when it does, just remember that it's all in your head.

Antoni Gaudí may not have been Barcelonan by birth (he was actually from Reus, about an hour and a half away), but his buildings put Barcelona on the map: the otherworldly towers of La Sagrada Familia, the color-splattered mosaics of Park Güell. Today, lesser-known gems of his Catalan Modernism—what we often refer to as Art Nouveau—open up each year. Here's what to see, and, most importantly, how to hack your way in ahead of the crowds.
Courtesy Torre Bellesguard d'Antoni Gaudí
Torre Bellesguard ("beautiful view") is a family home that's also a castle—designed by Gaudí, no less. The site, high up in the wealthy Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district, with telescopic views over Barcelona, remains one of the lesser-known Gaudí treats: unique in its straight lines (very un-Gaudí), and an interesting wooden attic that's stripped bare of his usual mosaic color burst.
Built between 1886 and 1890, Palau Güell is rumored to be the first Art Nouveau building in the world. This home of the Güell family is tucked down Calle Nou de la Rambla, and the mood inside is much darker than later Gaudís. Picture swaths of dark wood with grey marble floors and pillars and a fabulous old organ that's often played for concerts. Don't miss the roof terrace, where 20 chimneys and 50-foot spire are a Technicolor explosion.
It's practically illegal to go to Barcelona and not visit La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's extraordinary temple dedicated to the Holy Family – also known as the world's largest unfinished church, whose latest projected end date is 2026. Be sure to book a ticket ahead (dates are available three months out) so you can get inside and gawk at the vaults and rainbow stained glass.
Jorg Greuel
Park Güell is an almost make-believe landscape: home to Barcelona's famous mosaic lizard—the image on a thousand postcards—plus spiral towers that look like fairground slides. The city's grandest park began life as a collaboration between entrepreneur Eusebi Güell (hence the park's name) and Antoni Gaudí. The lizard stairway and city views from Nature Square, the large open area surrounded by a wavy wall of mosaics. This is where it's important to know your ticket options. The free ticket gets you into the park, but, honestly, not into the best parts. For that (and to see the lizard and Nature Square), you need a €10 Monumental Cove ticket. Book in advance online, and arrive promptly for your allotted slot—there's zero wiggle room with timing.
It's easy to see why Casa Batlló has been likened to Claude Monet's Water Lilies: Covered in shards of stained glass, it sometimes appears blue, then green, then shimmering like the glassy layer of a lake. Textile industrialist Josep Batlló commissioned Gaudí to design this home after seeing what Gaudí had done with Park Güell. Influenced by nature, Casa Batlló has no straight lines (because they don't exist in nature, said Gaudí), stone pillars that contort like animal bones, and a tall, ocean-blue stairwell that's very Jules Verne. The result is both grand and intimate.
Built in 1899, Casa Calvet was one of Gaudí's earliest works and, with iron railing-lined balconies, a curved roof, and stained glass with painted leaves, one of his most pared back. Speculation points more towards the conservative demands of his boss rather than a lack of artistic flamboyance, however. It was built as a work and living space for textile manufacturer Pere Màrtir Clavet, and there are many homages to him: a 'C' (for Calvet) above the door, plus busts of the patron saints from Calvet's hometown.
Pol Viladoms
Built in the 1880s as a summerhouse for stockbroker Manel Vicens, Casa Vicens was the very first house Gaudí designed. Forget the Gaudí you know, this is his Orientalist Period. Imagine a Moorish palace merged with a Rubik's cube: It's crazy. Anyone who's a fan of tiles or maximalist design will geek out on the oriental palms, pink walls, flower-adorned tiles and flying birds. Add in a terracotta roof terrace, a couple of elaborate domes, and some Gaudí ironwork and you're left wondering how it all harmonizes together. Because, weirdly, it does.
Like Park Güell, Colònia Güell was one of industrialist Eusebi Güell's elaborate projects—this time, to build a village. Güell headed for Santa Coloma de Cervelló, 20km southwest, and hired a team of architects to create housing, a school, shops, and a church (Gaudí's commission). Gaudí got as far as completing the lower nave when the Güells severed funding. What remains—the Crypt, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site—is considered to be the most perfect example of Gaudí's engineering wizardry channeled into one spot. You can see his trademark pillars, stained glass windows, and influences from nature.
Els 4 Gats occupies part of Casa Martí, a structure designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, one of Gaudí's Modernisme rivals. Conceived as a Spanish equivalent to Paris's Le Chat Noir cabaret, the goal was cheap food and piano music. It didn't take long for Barcelona's bohemian set to see the charm, too. A 17-year-old Picasso held his first exhibition here, and Antoni Gaudí was a regular. The interior looks like a time capsule: There are black and white portraits of the artsy regulars, sketches by Picasso, and vintage collections line the walls.
Courtesy Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation
The sand-colored façade of Casa Milà—built as apartments and now housing some offices—is subdued for Gaudí, but the twisted pillars on the roof are eye-catching, and partly why this building represents a structural breakthrough for the architect. The visitable space includes a majestic internal courtyard, roof, and Espai Gaudí, an attic showcasing models and plans of Gaudí's buildings.
In Barcelona, walk a block or two and you'll notice that the city's street tiles (called panots) are both ridiculously cool and varied. Property owners used to pave the street in front of their house until 1907 when Barcelona council contracted out the job. Escofet secured big-name contributions from architects Domènech i Montaner, Puig i Cadafalch, and Gaudí—there are 18 in all. To find Gaudí's panot, head to Passeig de Gràcia. It's a six-sided tile that, from afar, resembles the stony shell on a turtle's back.
The Miralles Fence is the most off-radar of Gaudí's Barcelona works. Commissioned by industrialist (and excellently named) Hermenegildo Miralles, who wanted a gate to his house, Gaudí created a wavy, 36-section, snake-like Art Nouveau wall. Today it slithers around some unspectacular apartment blocks, the highlight being a life-size iron statue of Gaudí in place of a door. The crowd is mainly locals walking straight past without battling an eyelid.
Walk four minutes behind the shouty street-sellers of La Boquería market and you'll find this peaceful garden. A former hospital courtyard, this leafy spot was where Gaudí spent his final days following a fatal collision with a tram in 1926. The garden is well used by local students, city workers, and as a reading spot and coffee stop (there's a café) for anyone passing through. Early evening is particularly special, when fairy lights are switched on and a warm, soft light enlivens the place.
Gaudí Experiència
With the words "Gaudí 4D" emblazoned across the door, this modern space—part museum, part cinema—brings Gaudí to life for those who switch off at a curator's description. The main draw is the movie. Strap into a simulator seat, don a pair of 3D glasses, and prepare for a 15-minute rollercoaster ride into Gaudí's universe. You see a forest turn into stone columns (a reference to La Sagrada Familia) and a roof morph into a dragon's skin (Casa Batlló)—know these reference points before you see Gaudí's works so that, when you do visit, you'll grasp more what he was thinking.
Tucked inside the Parc de la Ciutadella is a waterfall designed by Gaudí. When he was a student, he designed the water tank and hydraulics for a grand new city fountain called Cascada Monumental, under the auspices of craftsman Josep Fontserè, who collaborated with more than 10 Catalan artists to create an energetic display of waterspouts and stone-carved clams and dragons. The true camera-grabber is a blingy gold sculpture of Aurora (who represents dawn in Roman mythology) riding four horses. Parc de la Ciutadella is one of the city's most relaxing and picturesque spots to relax. Plus, it's free. And there's a zoo nearby.

Updated February 20, 2018 The United States of America is one of the world's largest countries based on both population (over 300 million) and area. It is made up of 50 individual states and Washington, D.C., its national capital. Each of these states also has its own capital city and other very large and small cities. These state capitals, however, vary in size but all are important to politics in the states. Interestingly, though, some of the largest and most important cities in the U.S. like New York City, New York and Los Angeles, California are not the capitals of their states. There are many more capital cities in the U.S. that are very large when compared to other, small capital cities. The following is a list of the ten largest capital cities in the U.S. For reference, the state that they are in, along with the population of the state's largest city (if it is not the capital) has also been included.

Jim, I'm thinking I may have seen this in a magazine but can't remember when or which one. Anyway, yours looks as good or "Better" than the one I saw. Very good job with the photos too. Maybe you could share your technique with us.

JuniorJock you're quite right. It came out of a recent issue of Woodsmith Magazine. I made a couple changes. Theirs was made from oak with simulated thru tenons. Mine is birch with real thru tenons.
As for the photography, thanks for the compliment. I don't use a really complicated setup. I use a single on camera bounce strobe with the strobe aimed to the ceiling but a large white reflector to direct the light where I want it. Direct strobe is too harsh, even when diffused. The bounced light has a more natural lighting effect. I also bracket my exposures so I can pick the best. Maybe I will do a blog article on the setup if anyone is interested.

One after another we all must go
follow, follow, follow
steadily flow
But not so soon!
not right now!
insistently we cry
we need her
we love her
we are not ready to say goodbye
It touches all
it follows all
it leaves no one behind
for it is relentless and cruel
and formidably unkind
But as we wait, wait, wait
for sorrow to greet us
we stand and walk
in each day that meets us
Today, tomorrow, we do not know
but we grieve and toil
in joy and sorrow
all our days
with beautiful, painful, ceaseless praise.

Spring Lay School of Theology – April 6,13, 20 & 27
Creation or Commodity? Biblical Perspectives on Today's Environmental Issues
Led by Dr. Richard Weis, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dean and Professor of Hebrew Bible
Course Concepts:
In contemporary American society a powerful way to think about the environment is as a series of commodities for human consumption. The Bible, especially the Old Testament, offers equally powerful alternative views that have the capacity to help us see today's problems with fresh eyes. For example, one perspective sees nature and society as a single, interdependent web on which humans depend and for which they are responsible. This course will nurture your ability to use the scriptures of the Old Testament to bring fresh perspectives and values to current environmental issues.

Microsoft generally does a pretty good job at testing patches before they are released, making Patch Tuesday pretty effortless (except for the persistent need to reboot servers — wish they'd adopt a method like Linux where we could just restart the affected service after the update is installed).
But this month was different. I applied the July 2013 patches first to a development system and no issues were reported. So a few days later I pushed them out to production only to find the .Net Framework was broken; every managed procedure/trigger failed with the infamous .Net "Object reference not found" error.
It took me a while to pin down the problem. It was caused by MS13-052 (KB2840628). Uninstalling that patch and rebooting fixed the errors.
Microsoft mentions the problem in a related document and they mention a workaround in scenario 2.
