Cesc Fabregas has joined Chelsea in a £27million deal – four months after telling his new boss Jose Mourinho to "shut up".
The former Arsenal captain had a war of words with Mourinho while at Barcelona.
Before Barca's Champions League win over Manchester City, the Londoners' boss Mourinho claimed Fabregas was part of the Catalans' worst side for "many, many years".
Fabregas hit back: "This team has done so much – won so much. Today was one of those days where everyone was saying, 'this isn't the same Barcelona'.
"Some people (Mourinho) were talking a bit too much as usual. They will have to shut up for a few days."
Should Arsenal have taken up their option on Cesc Fabregas?
But upon signing for the Stamford Bridge club, the Spain midfielder had changed his tune. He said: "Chelsea have an amazing squad of players and an incredible manager. I am fully committed to this team and can't wait to start playing."
As we revealed on Wednesday, Chelsea completed the signing of Fabregas after Arsenal decided not to take up their option to re-sign him.
Mourinho sees Fabregas in a No.10 role to link up with striker Diego Costa – who is set to join the Blues from Atletico Madrid.
Arsenal stand to make £5m from the Fabregas deal because of the incentive clauses written into his contract when he joined Barca in 2011.

The field of IT is witnessing rapid growth and development. This makes it essential that several sub-parts of the discipline be studied. Students often need to put up with inventory software, system and management, in addition to following certain case studies related to the same discipline. Ideally, this computerized inventory control system is indispensable to the study of how objects and materials need to be managed. Having an idea of software components work to the advantage of many, which is precisely why colleges often assign thesis work on these issues. Thankfully, a number of ex-students or experts in this field have conducted dissertation work on them, which serves as useful aids to those keen on working about inventory systems.
You can refer to a number of sites replete with research paper ideas. While some can pose difficult in terms of the level or references used, it will be worthwhile relying on us. We recommend this website to assist you with relevant samples and topic ideas related to inventory control system and management. You can take cues here and apply for your purpose. Relying on them is definitely recommended, but ensure that you have your own ideas and not blindly copy from elsewhere.
The web is replete with topic ideas about the subject. Determine the difficulty level and the effort you need to put for each. Decide on that and work accordingly. Here's taking a look at 22 such ideas on the topic:
There are more ideas that you can have by modifying one or the other paper or combining one with the other so as to help in the emergence of another separate study. The final choice rests with you, so study few samples well in advance to make a great thesis.

I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified -- St. Paul, I Corinthians 2:2
Sunday, July 06, 2008
What my Grandma knew about Saint Paul (Sunday homily)
he's not saying our bodies are bad;
but rather that, if we don't fight it,
we will find that our bodies rule us,
rather than we ruling our body.
Who likes Doritos?
Have you ever looked at the little box on the back?
It gives the suggested portion…who knows what it is?
Nobody knows, because nobody pays attention to that!
Either you grab a handful, or, if you are like me,
you rip it open, head to the recliner, then...
"Gee, where'd they go?"
Maybe Doritos don't do it for you;
maybe it's the Internet or beer;
maybe it's always winning the argument.
One way or the other, we're all "debtors to the flesh."
That changes when we are baptized—born of the Spirit.
When you and I became Christians,
we began an entirely new way of living.
And yet, how many Christians are surprised,
even offended when the Church—when the Lord—
calls us to a way of life that is challenging, sacrificial,
and put us out of step with the world around us?
With every ad and web page, our culture blares at us,
mocking chastity, devaluing sex,
telling us there's something embarrassing
about being a virgin—why do we tolerate that?
Teenagers, I want to say this directly to you:
I'm sorry we grownups are letting you down.
We're leaving you a culture that gives you trash.
Understand this: the advertisers, the entertainers,
they dangle a pretty lifestyle in front of you, but—
all they want is your money.
They make you feel "left out" so you'll buy in.
You and I must be bold to say,
it is not living for Jesus Christ that is wrong;
it is our culture that is wrong—it is sick, and dying.
More and more couples live together before marriage.
If they are intimate and using contraception,
that will likely continue in their marriage.
No wonder what the Church teaches about
keeping that intimacy open to the gift of life
seems such a impossible ideal.
Yet studies show that couples living together
before marriage are more likely to get divorced.
That is also the case for those using contraception.
One of the many things couples practicing
Natural Family Planning discover
is something new and powerful in their intimacy.
They report it is better, fresher, more enduring,
because it's less about self-fulfillment,
and more about giving oneself away.
So what do we do?
We're like the folks in Iowa--the flood waters are pouring in everywhere,
and we don't even know where to begin.
We might begin with the wisdom of my grandmother, who said:
Being a Catholic is a hard life—but it's an easy death.
And we can begin by recalling the wisdom
of weekly, even daily penance.
We used to do without meat on Friday every week.
The idea was to honor the day the Lord died for us,
But also to die to the deeds of the flesh.
Please pray for me.
As a priest, it is easy for me to think,
"I give a lot—I'm entitled…
to a beer, a snack, a little extra sleep!"
At the end of the day,
the reason we Christians choose works of the Spirit
is that, while we will feel out of step in this world,
we will find we fit perfectly into the Kingdom to come!
As my grandmother used to say:
Being Catholic is a hard life—but it's an easy death.

Father, I'm constantly impressed by your ability to pack so much into such a short sermon (for which all parents of young children must thank you), by your willingness to take on the "controversial" topics, and by your pastoral sensibilities. We need more homilists like you! God bless your ministry.
And I eat Doritos like you do...

I would be interested to hear the "usual Lutheran caveats" -- I hope my other commenters won't give you a hard time (Father gives everyone a hard glance).

Just one word, Father: excellent. As someone once told me, anything can be said poorly with many words but to say something well with few words takes work, talent or both. Didn't Chesterton have a line about the inverse relation between preparation needed and time given to speak?
- July 8, 2008 at 10:39 AM
- Jay Anderson said...
What she probably did NOT know is what Maureen Down claims to know: that St. Paul was, apparently, a "world-class misogynist".
- July 8, 2008 at 4:13 PM
- Rachel Gray said...
Well, Katharine Jefferts Schori says those who oppose women being ordained bishops "just don't like women", so we'll have to get in line with St. Paul. :)
Really great homily, Father! It's so true we need penance, and we need to feel out of step in this world.
Just today I was at jury duty watching people who looked very well-dressed, powerful, and purposeful go by. I wished I was one of them, and then I opened the Diary of St. Faustina and read something about how she dislikes what the world admires, and I realized how much my head had been turned simply by standing in the hallway of a court building. This world just sucks me in!

Rubicon Project is committed to respecting the data protection rights you may have under applicable privacy laws (often referred to as "data subject rights").
As stated in our privacy policy, our advertising technology does not collect information that directly identifies you as an individual, and instead only collects certain digital identifiers that may identify your device or your Internet browser (each, a "Digital Identifier"). As such, in order for us to help you exercise any data subject rights you have under applicable privacy laws, we need you to provide us with certain additional information, as explained below, to enable us to locate any records we hold about you. We use this additional information only for the purpose of processing your data subject rights requests.
Your Rights Explained
Residents of some countries (for example the European Economic Area ("EEA")), can exercise certain data subject rights available to them under applicable data protection laws.
These rights may include the right to request access to, or to request erasure or portability of, your personal information. You may also have a right to object to, or request that we restrict, processing of your personal information. Where such rights apply, we will comply with requests to exercises these rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
If you make a request to access personal information we hold about you (also known as an "access request"), we will provide the Digital Identifiers of your browser(s) and/or device(s) that Rubicon Project may store. Additionally, we may also provide you with certain other information that we may have stored and associated with your Digital Identifiers.
Please note, however, that we have a very short retention period for most files with Digital Identifiers that we store or process. As such, we may not be able to provide you any records at all in response to an access request. In such cases, however, we will inform you that we have not been able to locate any records associated with your Digital Identifiers.
Important Note: We have a responsibility to verify your identity before we respond to an access request. This is to make sure that we provide a copy of your personal information only to the person who is entitled to it – you. For that reason, it is our policy to only accept requests submitted directly to us by the data subject. If you wish to make an access request, we kindly ask that you contact us directly, with sufficient details for us to verify your identity (as explained below).
How to Make a Data Subject Rights Request
If you wish to exercise a data subject rights request, please follow the steps described below:
Step 1: Locate Your Digital Identifiers
In order for us to locate relevant records, we will need you to provide us with your Digital Identifiers. You can find your Digital Identifiers as follows:
As described in our privacy policy, our advertising technology operates by using text files called "cookies" that are placed on your device. Some of these cookies include a Digital Identifier. To locate these Digital Identifiers, you can search through your cookies for the cookies named "khaos" and "ruid" (which are set from the rubiconproject.com domain). The text in each of these cookies is a separate Digital Identifier.
Please keep in mind that different cookies are placed on each browser that you use to access the Internet. As a result, if you use multiple browsers (for example, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox), you will need to locate the "khaos" and "ruid" cookies for each browser.
Additionally, certain mobile devices (for example, mobile phones or tablets using the iOS or Android operating systems) generate a persistent "Advertising Identifier" per device, which, among other things, can be used by third parties for purposes of providing you with targeted advertising. On iOS devices, your Advertising Identifier may be referred to as an "IDFA," "IFA," or an "ID for Advertising." On Android devices, your Advertising Identifier may be referred to as an "Advertising ID." Please follow instructions from your mobile device manufacturer on how to locate your specific Advertising Identifier.
Step 2: Verify Your Digital Identifiers
In order to make sure that we are responding to the correct person, we also will need some supporting proof to demonstrate that you are indeed connected to the Digital Identifiers you located in Step 1. For Digital Identifiers stored in cookies, please take a screenshot of each cookie, taking care to make sure that the screenshot shows both the name of the cookie and the full Digital Identifier. For Digital Identifiers located on a mobile device, please take a screenshot of a screen that displays the Digital Identifier. Additionally, please fill out and sign the Identity Verification Form (click here to download PDF) that we have prepared, which attests that the Digital Identifiers you have located are indeed associated with you. We may also request that you respond to a few personalized questions, so that we can appropriately verify your identity.
Step 3: Contact Rubicon Project
Once you have located your Digital Identifiers and can provide us with verification of those Digital Identifiers, please contact us with details of the data subject rights you wish to exercise. The easiest way to do so would be to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please make sure to include the following information in your email:

Commentary: Maybe we'll finally see flag-draped coffins
Maybe now we'll see what we have not been allowed.
Meaning coffins draped in our national colors, filled with the remains of our honored dead. The military has banned media from photographing coffins arriving at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware since 1991. This, after a 1989 incident in which some TV news outlets used a split screen to juxtapose images of deceased Americans being returned home with images of President George H.W. Bush joking with reporters at a live press conference. It was a cheap shot that made the president seem insensitive to the somber ceremony and the sacrifice it commemorated. Hence, the ban.
It was an understandable reaction. Also a wrong one. Asked last week at his first press conference if he would consider overturning the ban, President Barack Obama said the matter was under review. Consider this a vote for scrapping the ban with all deliberate speed. It is an ill-considered assault not simply on the public's right to know, but on its need.
Granted, the military doesn't see it that way. It says the ban is designed to protect the privacy of military families. This has always seemed a rather flimsy excuse.
You come closer to the truth, I think, in a quote that appeared recently in The Washington Post. Cal Peters, who lost a stepson in Afghanistan, and who opposes lifting the ban, told the paper Democrats want to do this "so they can publicize the negative side of the war and show the American public there is a high cost to be paid here."
Put aside the grieving stepfather's suggestion that this would be a partisan stunt. Grapple instead with his suggestion that there is something wrong in reminding people "there is a high cost to be paid" for war.
It's hard to understand why he thinks that a bad thing.
The most moral and widely supported war you can conceive is nevertheless an abomination. A less honorable war is an abomination without even the fig leaf of lofty purpose to confer nobility upon it. Which is why the Vietnam War is famously considered to have been lost, not in the jungles of South Asia, but in the living rooms of North America as a nightly barrage of graphic pictures on the evening news eroded public support. And why the military has been skittish about pictures ever since.
No, it's not as if we are lacking for images of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Advanced technology has shown us more of these wars than we ever saw of Vietnam. Yet paradoxically, we are at a greater remove from the fighting now than we were then. That's because there's no draft, no sense that every young man is called upon to make a stand, that every neighborhood has a son invested in this cause. Instead, the burden is borne by a few – volunteers and their families.
The rest of us are free to go shopping. We are not touched by these wars.
And we need to be.
I submit that the cost of war – whether the one everyone supports or the one no one does – is not something to be hidden from the people of a democracy. To the contrary, it is something they should never be allowed to forget. We need to know it. Otherwise, war becomes little more than a video game, death tolls just columns of numbers, and we forget to be judicious with the lives of our fellow citizens, forget to hold political and military leaders accountable for how and when and why those lives are spent.
The Obama administration has promised transparency. To continue this ban would do violence to that pledge. Let the coffins be borne from the planes, and let the cameras record it – and let the people see it and grow reverent and wise. Let them pause in their shopping and be touched and reminded that there is, indeed, "a high cost" to war.
Mr. Peters thinks Americans ought not know that. I respectfully disagree.

Life Sciences
SonoPlot's Microplotter systems meet the needs of researchers looking to dispense precise picoliter volumes of fluid at specific locations on a surface.
The Microplotters handle sensitive biomolecules without causing deactivation through heat or shear while dispensing. This, coupled with the repeatability of the dispenses, makes these systems ideal for manufacturing protein or DNA microarrays, spotting samples or matrix for MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry, or printing microscale biosensors.
The Microplotter Proto was specifically designed based on feedback from researchers in this field. Its 20 micron positioning resolution allows for very dense microarrays to be printed. The system is compact enough to fit on a desktop, and is much less expensive than most competing systems.
Advantages Over Quill-pin and Piezoelectric Technologies
The dispensing mechanism used within the Microplotter systems is significantly different from standard quill-pin or piezoelectric technologies. A Microplotter uses controlled ultrasonics to pump fluid to the tip of a sharp glass micropipette, where the liquid meniscus is bowed out. The dispenser is then brought down to a surface and either a droplet is touched off or the dispenser is moved across the surface to draw a continuous line or arc.
The dispenser does not touch the surface when leaving behind droplets in this manner, so it is a much more gentle process than quill-pins, which often require harder mechanical tapping on a surface. A Microplotter can print on soft or fragile materials, like hydrogels, nitrocellulose, or gold-coated glass, without marking or otherwise damaging the surface.
Sub-picoliter droplets can be dispensed by a Microplotter system, leaving behind features smaller than 20 microns in width. This is significantly less than the droplet size produced by current quill-pin or piezoelectric microarray spotters. These small features are repeatable, with the Microplotter Proto capable of coefficients of variability for volumes dispensed of less than 10%.
Droplets are not ejected through the air toward the surface like in piezoelectric dispensers, so a wider variety of solutions can be printed in a Microplotter without the need to worry about clogging. Saturated salt solutions and high-viscosity materials like genomic DNA can be printed without tuning the system or solutions.
Finally, the Microplotter systems, particularly the Microplotter Proto are available at a significantly lower cost than most piezoelectric- or quill-pin-based systems.

Sesa Goa feels the brunt of mining ban1 min read . Updated: 27 Jan 2013, 08:43 PM IST
Revenue for the December quarter came in at `227.5 crore, less than one-tenth of the figure in the year-ago quarter
Revenue for the December quarter came in at `227.5 crore, less than one-tenth of the figure in the year-ago quarter
Sesa Goa Ltd's iron-ore production declined after the mining ban in Karnataka. It got worse after the company's mines in Goa, too, were shut and, as a result, no iron ore was produced in the December quarter. The company's metallurgical coke and pig iron businesses did contribute, but they are relatively small businesses when compared with iron ore.
Profit from its share in Cairn India Ltd was the real saviour. Sesa Goa's revenue for the December quarter came in at ₹ 227.5 crore, less than one-tenth of the figure in the year-ago quarter and down 21.1% from the September quarter.
It incurred a loss of ₹ 165.7 crore in the December quarter, compared with a net profit of ₹ 160.9 crore in the preceding three months.
But the main reason for this dip was a foreign exchange fluctuation-related loss of ₹ 25 crore, compared with a gain of ₹ 166 crore in the preceding quarter.
Net profit after adjusting minority interest declined by only 4.8%, as its share of Cairn's profit was ₹ 669 crore—higher when compared with ₹ 464.4 crore in the preceding quarter.
With mining coming to a standstill, there is little that Sesa Goa can do on the ore-mining front except keep its expenses to a minimum and undertake only essential capital expenditure.
However, it will invest in its Liberian iron-ore mining project, spending about $350 million in the next 18 months, to bring the first phase of 4 million tonnes capacity on stream. The first shipments are expected in end-2013-14.
One key event that is awaited in the near term is the resumption of mining in Karnataka—Sesa Goa's mines fall in the category B mines, which are next in line to reopen. That can immediately contribute to revenues and profits. But mining in Goa may resume only after a long interval.
Another trigger will be the completion of legal formalities for consolidating Vedanta's Indian investments in Sesa Goa. That will add revenue streams from crude oil and various non-ferrous metals businesses, and minimize its dependence on iron ore.
That may happen in the current quarter. When it does, the company will have better news to report to shareholders than it does now. Optimism that this may happen soon may be the reason behind a 2.8% increase in its share price on Friday, despite a poor showing in the quarter.

Michael, August 2014
As many of you, I was put in charge of the DJ and all of the associated details. I literally couldn't have made an easier and better choice than Neil and Beth at Too Much Fun.
This is how it went:
I met with Neil and couldn't believe how perfect he understood what we wanted. I told him that we (My now wife and I) didn't even agree on some details but told him what we envisioned. Neil was awesome! He told me that we had plenty of time and not to panic. No Pressure, No Panic, No Problem!
He called a few times prior to our wedding and ironed out all of the details and had already put together a "Day of" spreadsheet. Times, songs, names, EVERYTHING!
Our guests asked us constantly, "Where did you find your DJ's!! They are awesome." They even came in classy wardrobes that were our wedding colors. Honest to goodness ...... No detail was overlooked.
In man terms:
Neil and Beth were definitely the quarterbacks of our day. They called audibles when faced with a blitz and hit the check route for a touchdown.
Serious.... Call and you will see!

Mrs N was very pleased when she came to school today, because there was a note on her desk telling her that The Smarties won the "Miss Venice" prize for being the best behaved class, during Italian lessons, in the whole school! We got a special basket with a bear in it, to keep in our classroom for a while. We are very proud of ourselves!
|Our Signorina Venezia Bear
Kyle - I liked it when Mrs N put pictures of us on the blog pretending we were in the snow. It is fun having a blog. We're famous.
Kate - This term, I liked going on the computers and when we played Tutpup. I liked tasting all of the food and they tasted so, so, so, so good and I liked it when the Eagles came.
Joshua - We had the computers for 3 days and we did Tutpup. We did the Stations of the Cross today.
Raquel - In Term One, the Eagles came and Rick the Rock the Eagle came too and he was funny. He tripped over the bench and we got a good photo.
Tia - On the first day of school, I said to Josh that I felt like I was new. We played computer and it was fun and we played Tutpup.
Ella - This term, I liked when we got a package from Kentucky. We got Goldfish and a jam sandwich book and a card from all of them.
Jake - In Term One, we made masks. We did Clean Up Australia Day. We made bug catchers. We made bug stories and used computers for a whole day.
Catherine - In Term One, we had Wacky Hair Day. My hair was in lots and lots of little plaits with hair spray. My plaits were blue and the middle was pink.
Matthew - I liked it when we did the tasting of the Hot Cross Buns. The Eagles came to school to tell us about healthy lunches.
Jack - My favourite part of Term One was when we made the blog. I like the blog because it has lots of fun things.
Charlee - This term, we made some monsters on the computers and we designed them. We printed all the Wordles off the printer. Some were sideways and it was fun. We did Tux Paint.
Kiara - My favourite part was when we got to do our masks on the computer and when we got to colour them in.
Minnesota - I liked when Mrs N tricked us by pretending the koala was talking to us about the Mobile Muster. I liked doing Stations of the Cross and playing Tutpup.
Taj - I liked when we got the computer for the whole day and made a mask and did Tux Paint.
Caitlin - We did a taste test of Hot Cross Buns and I liked all of them and I didn't know which one to pick.
Alex - My favourite things that we did in Term One were getting the Goldfish from Kentucky and Wacky Hair Day. I liked the computers and our Daily Writing books.
Noah - My best day was when Mrs N tricked us with the newspaper article about the kids being off the streets at last! It was funny when we wore hats for Hats for Haiti Day and I liked when we saw a sprint car.
Joel - We did Mobile Muster. I liked playing Tutpup on the computers. I do Reading Recovery.
Isaac - I want to go back to when Mrs N pretended and told us about the newspaper article. It was fun and funny. I liked the Hot Cross Buns and when we made masks.
We had a good look at our Easter Traditions Wiki today. Many of the other countries have put information about how they celebrate Easter. It was very interesting to read. Some countries like Canada and Poland have traditions a bit like ours, but some countries, like Thailand and Israel don't have Easter at all, but they have other celebrations at around the same time, which they have told us about. Check out our wiki to read it for yourself!
Mrs L, our teacher from last year, came to visit us today! She brought her little baby, called Charlie. He's so cute! He didn't cry at all. We asked her lots of questions about where she's been and about the baby. We loved having her visit.
|Mrs L and Charlie
|Kate, Alex, Tia and Isaac with the prizes they won
We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday. We'll be back at school on Tuesday, April 20th, eager and enthusiastic to begin learning all about Australia and its animals.
Love from The Smarties and Mrs N

Gibson Island, Maryland
Gibson Island is a 1,000 acre beautiful community on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay where it meets the Magothy River. The luxury living offered here is ideal for a weekend getaway, vacation retreat or permanent home.
The Island is boasts a 35+ acre freshwater pond suitable for canoeing, fishing and swimming. Extensive nature trails provide recreational and transportation opportunities to access the Island's many destinations.
Baltimore Judge W. Stuart Symington Jr. and others paid three farmers $165,000 for the island in 1922.
Gibson Island's design as a recreational community is due to the 1922 plan created by the Olmsted Brothers of Brookline, Massachusetts. The natural topography is given primary consideration with buildings and roads sited harmoniously within it.
While responsible for the landscape, the Olmsted Brothers' design separated areas with differing styles of architecture. This preserved and enhanced the areas' sense of style. During the early 20th century, the Olmsted Brothers' landscape architecture firm was considered to be without rival.
Gibson Island has an easy commute from Baltimore, Annapolis, Washington D.C. and BWI Airport.
18 ½ miles from Baltimore City Line
35 ¼ miles from Washington (District Line)
7 8/10 miles from Annapolis

Soul Jewelry
Soul Jewelry is hand-made by women artisans on Indonesia's Bali Island also known as The Island Of The Gods. The powerful Spiritual Energy of the island is combined with the source materials that include:
- Sacred Ganetree seeds, also known as Rudraksha, used in the Buddhist and Hindu 'Mala' prayer beads
- Lava beads from the holy mountain of Batur, believed to be the place where Gods reside at the temple of Besakih
- Ancient Symbols of protection, spiritual energy, and connection to the Divine
- Crystals and semi-precious stones carefully chosen to amplify the sacred energy
But the best is the story of how it came to be...
On my last trip to Asia, as always, I visited the families of the girls whose education is paid for by our Social Gem project. These are emotional visits and always end with heartfelt expressions of gratitude for helping their daughters obtain education which is key to better life. They have nothing, or very little, so in gratitude they give their prayers and offerings of flower, fruit and rice, blessed by Balinese Hindu priest.
Upon hearing that the money for their daughters' education comes from the sale of Social Gem jewelry collection, they were most surprised and the priest offered to bless the jewelry for all the wonderful people whose purchase helps toward the goal of education for girls (that means you!).
Lo and behold we have a beautiful new Soul Jewelry collection. Every piece, the entire collection has been blessed at the local temple during the most auspicious time for this ceremony.
Thus we pass on the blessings to you in the form of these beautiful pieces of soulful jewelry, each blessed and infused with female energy from the hands of the women, through the hearts of the girls to the moment it becomes yours.
Every piece comes with a card explaining the meaning of Soul Jewelry.
ALL prices are WHOLESALE PRICES

I have never actually heard of this movie, and only watched it because it had 5 stars on Netflix, so I really didn't even know it was medically interesting, but it was a great surprise.
Hilary Swank is the main character, who at the age of 35, finds out she has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). According to the ALS Association's website, the definition of this disease is:
A progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain
and the spinal cord.
If you remember the "Ice Bucket Challenge" from last year, the goal was to raise money for ALS research, not just making people dump water on their heads. Anyways, ALS is a tough disease. Individuals with ALS go from being completely independent and functional to slowly losing functions, starting with muscle use, which progresses to the loss of speaking and breathing. Brain function and awareness is one of the last things that's lost, which is very difficult on patients because they are still aware of their surroundings, yet unable to communicate their needs and thoughts.
In the movie, Swank plays Kate who starts as an amazing piano player and slowly loses her ability to function individually. She has a somewhat unconventional caretaker, Beck, who does everything possible to help Kate and keep her as independent as possible. They form an unexpected friendship, and of course, end up helping each other to grow.
I think the movie did a really great job of showing the decline that occurs in ALS, and the difficulties a patient faces while trying to maintain their independence. At one point, Kate state, "I'm a grown woman who needs help to go to the restroom," which really puts things into perspective. What is necessary is also humiliating, and when it comes down to it, Kate really just wants to be treated as a person, and not as a patient.
Kate also shows the depression that can accompany a diagnosis like ALS. She feels like a burden at times, and questions whether her loved ones would be better off without her there. She blames herself for ruining other's lives, when this disease did not give her a choice and was in no way self-inflicted. There are some great interactions between Kate with her husband, friends, Beck, and other friends with ALS that show all of the dynamics of how people respond to people with debilitating illness.
ALS can be genetic, and in that case there is a 50% chance that a child may be affected if the parent has ALS. If it is known that the trait runs in the family, that can make the decision to have kids a very difficult one. That was not addressed specifically in the movie, but is something that these patients must deal with. This movie reminds me of the book, Me Before You, by JoJo Moyes, which addresses similar topics.

Dr. Gary Kachanoski became the 12th president and vice-chancellor of Memorial University of Newfoundland on July 1, 2010, coming to Memorial from the University of Alberta where, among other activities, he served as vice-president (research), professor and Bentley Research Chair (Soil, Water & Environment). Prior to that, he was dean of the College of Graduate Studies and Research at the University of Saskatchewan.
At Memorial, Dr. Kachanoski has focused on the development of new institutional vision, mission and values, and frameworks in teaching and learning, research and public engagement. He is also committed to the growth and development of the Marine Institute, Grenfell Campus in Corner Brook and the Labrador Institute, among many other initiatives.
Infrastructure renewal has also been a top priority. Memorial currently has almost $336 million worth of projects underway, and approval has been obtained to proceed with a $360 million renewal of core science infrastructure on the St. John's campus.
Under Dr. Kachanoski's leadership, Memorial has continued its upward trajectory. Annual research funding has grown to $128 million, and graduate student enrolment continues to climb having increased by almost 21 per cent over the past three years.
Finally, he spearheaded the university's capital fundraising campaign, Dare To, which surpassed its $50 million goal by $17 million to date.
Dr. Kachanoski was founding chair (2005-2007) and a driving force behind the creation of TEC Edmonton, a joint venture with the City of Edmonton and other regional partners for advancing technology commercialization and business acceleration in the area.
In May 2014, the Board of Regents unanimously approved Dr. Kachanoski as the university's president and vice-chancellor for a second five-year term, concluding in June 2020.
Dr. Kachanoski is married with three grown children. His partner, Teresa, is an accomplished visual artist and arts administrator.

Jetstream 4100, G-MAJE, 11 January 2007
Jetstream 4100, G-MAJE
At about FL75 during the descent into Southampton Airport, the right engine ran down and the propeller speed reduced. The crew suspected that a double engine failure may have occurred and transmitted a MAYDAY call. Subsequently, the left engine was found to respond normally to power lever movements and the Mayday was downgraded to a Pan situation. The aircraft levelled at FL70 and the right engine restarted without crew intervention. Both engines continued to operate normally, the PAN was cancelled and an uneventful landing was made at Southampton. The aircraft was fitted with the original version of engine air intakes and had been flying in conditions conducive to ice accretion. A later version of intake, designed to minimise the risk of ice ingestion, is available but currently it is not mandated by the UK CAA for these to be fitted to the Jetstream 4100.

We agreed on a price that was less than half of Audi's preliminary estimate and they even caught more items that Audi had completely missed...
Needless to say, I have tried out German dealership services as well as several independent mechanics for car repairs in Chicago area with mixed results.
Since I have owned this A8 I have been servicing it at a shop local to my house.
Your search for a repair place for your Audi is over.
They saved me so much money and were so nice and professional.
This is a great auto repair shop in Plainfield, IL to get honest service at a more than fair price.
Brought my Audi A6 in for a check engine light and an oil change.

Tools require for performing and fixing new water lines:
- Drip pan
- Correct fittings
- Tubing cutter
- Assorted screwdrivers
- Bits and drills
- Tubing made up of plastic or copper
- Open end wrenches
- Basin wrench
Installing water lines for refrigerators:
You might have observed many of the refrigerators contain ice makers build up in them. And running a water line for this component is relatively easy to install by the home owners. Start the process by drilling an access hole in your water line. It's advisable of checking the basement and the underneath area of your refrigerator for an available cold water line. And make sure where actually the hole should be drill for the water line to be installed.
It's important to perform this step, but make sure that you don not drill into the baseboard or just too far into your room. Make sure that the hole is under the refrigerator. For the DIY's it's advisable of pulling the refrigerator out from the wall surface. Don't forget to sweep the stuffs off behind your refrigerator. It's important to tap the floor surface and observe the hollow sound between the joist and the floor and identify a good place for drilling a hole.
It's advisable of measuring off the wall at least one inch and drill the hole with a ¾ inch of drill bit. You need to stick a piece of wire or something similar to it through the hole, so you can easily find it when you're going downstairs. Tape the end of the tubing and push enough of the tubing through the hole for making some couple of large loops at the end of the tubing. The extra pipe attached to the tube, helps in making the installation process even easier.
Start running the water lines in your refrigerator. For temporary basis, it's advisable of running a copper tube through the holes. Coffer tubing is among the preferred part by the professionals. Start cutting the tubing in a proper length by using a tubing cutter. Smooth out the insider side of the tube. There are different types of fittings that can be simply attached to your existing copper water lines. If you're planning of attaching it on a horizontal water line, it's advisable of always keeping the saddle tee valve on the top most surface for avoiding corrosion and settle of rust in to the tee valve installed.
At last turn on your saddle tee valve and check for any leakage you observe. It's important to repair the leak at the same point for better functioning system. It's also observed that most of the ice makers consist of plastic tubing and trust me, it's really good for the use too. Don't forget to install an in line filter in the ice maker for preventing problems with the refrigerator.
Installing flexible water lines:
Flexible lines are mainly installed in the old homes. Old homes consist of copper lines running from the shut off valve directly to its way to kitchen. The chances of this pipes eventually getting corroded is more. Generally the damage is observed near the fittings and that might cause damage to your kitchen cabinets. It might also lead in producing the growth of mold and mildew in the places. These pipes can be even moved out of the home allowing more space underneath your kitchen sink.
Start by turning off the water supply of your home. Shut off the water valve towards the faucets. You might even find some leaking areas because the water valves are usually turned off or you can simply replace or repair the water lines directly. It's advisable of using a dip pan under the sink because it is helpful in collecting water from leaks.
Remove the old water lines from the sink by using a proper sized open ended wrench. Even, you can make the use of a handy tool, easily available from the market that helps in removing the old water lines from the faucets. Make the use of basin wrench for removing them. It helps in allowing the home owners in loosening or tightening the faucet screws and nuts. And most of the newer faucet nuts come in plastic form that can easily be shut off by using your hands.
Start attaching the new water lines. It's advisable of attaching the new water lines in the same way as you removed the older ones. After attaching them to the water valves, turn on the water supply and enjoy the faucets with newly attached water lines at your home.
Attaching new water lines to the toilet:
Your old water lines generally might end up chroming the tube and the pipe lines too. It might corrode with age and lead to leakage in your plumbing lines. Start your process by turning off the valve of water supply. Flush up the toilet and tank and drain or empty up your tank totally.
Make sure to be safe while removing the old water lines. Make the use of adjustable wrench for removing the old water lines. Basin wrench is proved to be a bigger help for removing the old lines of water. Install the new water lines purchased from the market and enjoy a leak free toilet in your bathroom.

Know Before You Go on Vacation
You may already know that your packing list needs to contain bathing suits, beach toys and sunscreen. But, if you have never vacationed in a condo rental or vacation home before, you may be wondering what extra things you need to bring or be prepared to purchase when you arrive.
While our Gulf Coast vacation rentals are stocked with many of the comforts of home, including bedding and kitchen essentials such as dishware and utensils, there are a few more items you will want to pack.
Upon arriving for your Florida or Alabama beach vacation, you will find your rental has been stocked with an initial supply of toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap and trash bags. These should get you through your first 24 hours, but you will want to pick up additional supplies to get you through the remainder of your stay. Napkins, condiments, cooking spices and coffee filters are other things you may want to purchase while at the store.
Other items you might want to consider bringing, or renting from a local company, include cribs, pack-n-plays, highchairs and any other items required by the youngest travelers in your group. And, while bath towels are provided, beach towels are not, so be sure to bring yours from home.

There are so many pretty teacups that feature roses. Here are a couple of mine. The first one is in the Summertime Rose pattern by Allyn Nelson.

I love the color of the roses, from pale pink to velvety red.
It is fine bone china and made in England.
This next cup is one that many of you have also. It is a Royal Albert teacup in the Moss Rose pattern.
The floral pattern is lovely with the dainty blue flowers mixed in among the roses. It has a footed puffy cup with broken loop handle.
The inside of the cup is pretty too.
It is a Royal Albert bone china cup from England.

Oil painting, oil portray copy, famous oil paintings, portrait artist, Chinese language oil work, acrylic painting, oil portray provides, authentic art, China oil painting, unique oil portray. Any objects you would possibly wish to see in a still life. Artists' oil colours are made by mixing dry powder pigments with selected refined linseed oil to a stiff paste consistency and grinding it by robust friction in steel roller mills. Such varnishes may be eliminated without disturbing the oil painting itself, to allow cleaning and conservation Some up to date artists resolve to not varnish their work, preferring the surface unvarnished.
SO, in case you are applying acrylic paint over real gold leaf you possibly can opt to wait to seal on the very finish when your painting is full. It is best to wet or soak rags and paper in water earlier than discarding them since they're flammable, can warmth up when drying out, and generally spontaneously combust.
The primary layer was a blank, uniform subject of thinned paint called a floor. As a result, delicate color accents stand out against the balanced composition. The artist might also apply paint with a palette knife, which is a flat metallic blade. The transition started with Early Netherlandish portray in Northern Europe, and by the height of the Renaissance oil painting methods had almost completely changed the usage of tempera paints in the majority of Europe.
An artist would possibly use several totally different oils in the identical portray relying on particular pigments and effects desired. This is probably as a result of many of the well known Renaissance interval artists reminiscent of Jan van Eyck, Raphael, Titian, Rubens, and Rembrandt labored with oil paints.
The painting knife, a finely tempered, thin, limber model of the artist's palette knife, is a convenient device for making use of oil colours in a sturdy manner. NEVERTHELESS, the real gold leaf is so skinny (just like the imitation leaf only much more delicate) that after it is applied onto your portray, and not sealed, it can be marred if mishandled.

24 People Who Got Really Creative With Their Christmas Cards.
It's that time of year again, ladies and gentleman. It's the time of year to put on your cheerful pants and get into the holiday spirit. Some people are singing Christmas carols while driving in their car to work. Some people are looking for the perfect tree to put their presents under. And others have just finished sending out their Christmas cards. While most people like the traditional type of card, you know the one; a nice family photo with "Happy Holidays" written on it. Other people like it get a bit creative and silly. Take a look at these undeniably funny cards and maybe you'll be inspired to put a little spice in your own card, too!
#1. Going through a break-up right after the cards are printed? No worries. Just put a sticker over their face and you won't have to answer any questions.
#2. This little girl knows exactly how to handle things. Might want to keep a close eye on her, though, she seems a bit irrational.
#3. The holidays tend to make people feel a bit crazy, a bit psychotic. Best to just go with the flow.
#4. It's not Christmas until someone shoots out an eye.
Amanda Earles
#5. I'm sure that Snoop Dogg would love to see that he was replaced by a cuter dog.

Our Story
Walker Vail is a premium design studio that crafts sculptural jewelry pieces.
The collection harmonizes organic formal qualities with contours of your body to create pieces that are both bold and beautiful.
This allows for a new form of jewelry that both empowers the individual and prompts any audience.
Each piece is digitally designed, hand crafted, made to order and tailored for the bold.
The story of Walker Vail originated from our Creative Director's family history of escaping persecution. Having to flee their native country overnight, his family had to learn how to sew jewelry into the seams of their clothes in order to preserve their livelihoods. Many years later, those jewelry pieces remain cherished in the family both as valued artifacts, and more importantly as a reminder of their origins.
We view jewelry not just an expensive commodity, but rather a part of your body and identity. This is our inspiration to create sculptural pieces that mimic the contours of your body as well as have a unique identity in their formal expression.
The pieces utilize the latest in design and manufacturing technology. From software simulating the curves of the body too additive printing/casting. Walker Vail is a studio that looks to future, not just in our approach to how we make jewelry but also to what jewelry means to you and your identity.

Publishing to the World Wide Web at Aberystwyth University
Aberystwyth University provides the opportunity to publish web pages within the aber.ac.uk domain to
- support research activity
- enhance teaching
- provide means of disseminating information about the University to its members, to potential staff and students, and to the general public.
- allow individual users to provide non-academic information as part of the general process of learning about computer services, though permission to do so is very much a privilege rather than a right.
This service is only available to contracted staff and registered students at the University.
Any other category of user who feels they have a legitimate reason for publishing pages on the University server can make a request to the Director of Information Services to be allowed to make use of this service.
There may be occasions where a continuing member of a department wishes pages from a former colleague or ex-student to remain available for an agreed period. This can be arranged by contacting Information Services on the understanding that the material within the pages become the responsibility of the person making the request should any problem arise.
Guidelines for material originating in aber.ac.uk
All information provided using A.U. web facilities will be seen as having, in some way, the support of the University and will affect how people view the University. Therefore, no provider should publish any information in a way which could adversely affect the good name or reputation of the University, nor provide material which is inappropriate for dissemination by the University. Included in this is any material that could lead to a civil suit against the University as publishers of the Web, such as alleged libel or of a breach of copyright.
Information provision on the A.U. web facilities falls into four categories:
- Official University information
- Departmental, research group and service unit information
- Information provided by student clubs and societies
- Information provided by individual members of the University.
There are some general guidelines that apply to all these categories, and more specific ones for each.
General Guidlines
All sets of web pages must:
- be overseen by a named person who is responsible for the presentation and content, and who can be identified from the initial (home) web page where the details should include their A.U email address (contributing to the AU Wiki varies slightly from this guidance and is covered below);
- fall within the Regulations of the University, including matters such as disseminating offensive or harassing material;
- be legal within U.K. criminal law;
- be legal within U.K. civil law, which covers matters such as copyright or libel.
In addition, material from other web sites should not be used on any page within the .aber.ac.uk domain (either directly or through the use of frames) without the explicit permission of the owner of the original material.
Official University Information
The editorial policy for the University's central pages is under the remit of the Web Steering Group chaired by a Pro-Vice Chancellor reporting to the Management Information Committee.. The group reviews the University's web provision and makes appropriate recommendations for continued development.
Departmental, Research Group and service unit web pages
The University encourages such groupings to publish information on the web and extra filestore can be made available is support of this.
In some cases the pages may be offered on a separate server but these Guidelines still apply in full.
All such web pages must clearly state that they are the responsibility of the Department or unit concerned and their home page must include a contact name and an A.U. email address so that readers are aware who is responsible for the editorial policy of the pages. The information must be in direct support of the Department or group or unit's activities, though individual opinions may be expressed within the context of associated research activities.
Page design and layout, together with content, is ultimately the responsibility of the Department group or unit. However, as the pages represent the University it is expected that they will be designed in accordance with the Guidelines in the Collegiate Identity Manual. The use of the University logo is required and the logo should function as a link back to the University homepage (http://www.aber.ac.uk).
Pages falling into this category must include the phrase or abbreviation "Aberystwyth University/A.U." or "Prifysgol Aberystwyth / P.A." in the title field of their homepage.
When providing official information, Departments, groups and units should take due regard of the University's bilingual policy.
The minimum set of data which Departments should make available on the web is:
- contact information and directory of staff
- a brief outline of the department's activities
- brief descriptions of programmes of study available
- details of staff research interests
- information about current research
- links to their past undergraduate modular examination papers.
Presentations from student clubs and societies
A distinct group of userids is made available by Information Services for student clubs and societies to publish information on the web.
All club and society accounts appear under the address http://users.aber.ac.uk/account-name
As well as conforming to the general guidelines for web material, club and society web pages should include a disclaimer indicating that the University has no direct responsibility for the content:
The information provided on this and other pages [club/society] (email@example.com), is under the responsibility of [club/society] and not that of Aberystwyth University. Similarly, any opinions expressed are [club/society's] and are in no way to be taken as those of A.U.
The use of University's logo or crest is not allowed on club and society web pages.
Presentations from individual users
The facility for individual computer users to publish non-academic information on the web is made available on the basis that such a facility is an aid to developing experience on computer-based services. It is however offered as a privilege not as a right. Users therefore have a duty to ensure they use these resources in a responsible manner. Information Services will take action against users who abuse this privilege. One result of such action could be loss of the permission to publish web pages, though wider action would be taken in cases where the Regulations are seriously breached.
A disclaimer must also be included indicating that the University has no direct responsibility for the content and giving the individual's name and A.U.email address for contact. An example is:
The information provided on this and other pages by me, Fred Smith (email@example.com), is under my own personal responsibility and not that of Aberystwyth University. Similarly, any opinions expressed are my own and are in no way to be taken as those of A.U. The use of the University's logo or crest is not allowed on individual user's web pages.
On occasion individuals may wish to run their own web server on the aber.ac.uk network. Such a facility is acceptable but all information offered must be within these Guidelines. Such a server will not be accessible from outside the University.
Aberystwyth University Wiki
All of the above Guidelines apply to the AU Wiki except that contributions will in this case always be at the page level with automatic attribution made to the author such that no further use of the AU logo, linking to any Home Page, or disclaimer is necessary.
The Wiki is offered to all members of the University either to post items as individuals or as collaborative official groupings.
The information on Making a complaint about offensive or other unacceptable on-line material explains how you can contact A.U. if you feel that someone has published material that does not conform to these rules and how the complaint will be handled.
