Morning Five: 09.14.12 EditionPosted by rtmsf on September 14th, 2012
- Jim Calhoun is no longer the head men's basketball coach at Connecticut, and for most of us covering this sport, we really don't know of a time when that wasn't the case. Say what you like about him, but the 70-year old head coach is arguably the greatest program-builder of the modern era. Consider this factoid: When Calhoun took the helm at UConn in 1986, the program hadn't won an NCAA Tournament game in a decade and only had achieved four victories in its history. Since then? Forty-eight NCAA victories, 10 Big East championships, and of course, those three national titles. Incredible. Let's run down some of the best articles on the legacy of Calhoun: Seth Davis ("His pals joke that he's not happy unless he's miserable."); Mike DeCourcy ("That is what Calhoun did better than anyone, ever: Coaching 'em up."); Dana O'Neil ("He was pointed without being vicious, upfront with his complaint, yet willing to concede that there were two sides to that particular story."); Alexander Wolff ("Calhoun needed a cantilevered epaulet for the chip on his shoulder."); Andy Katz ("He created a national power at a school that lacked tradition, facilities and a deep recruiting pool."). There's also this collection of some of his best quotes from The Connecticut Post.
- Jim Calhoun helped make the Big East the basketball juggernaut that it became, but now upon the week of his retirement, he must feel rather bittersweet about yet another very good basketball program (Notre Dame) alighting for the greener pastures of the ACC. The media analysis is varied, but by and large, most people seem to think that this move was a win/win for both the school and the new conference. Head coach Mike Brey certainly must think so, given the reported quote to his AD regarding conference realignment: "Please don't take me to the Big 12." All chuckling aside, the ACC's John Swofford can rest easy in the knowledge that he's managed to protect both the league's all-important basketball and academic branding while keeping the football schools in Florida and South Carolina equally engaged. If the ACC decides to grab another similarly situated basketball/Olympic sports school in the near future to get to 16, we proffered a few leading candidates on Thursday.
- We mentioned earlier this week the Raleigh News & Observer's report that Tyler Hansbrough's mother, Tami, had come under fire along with her boyfriend Matt Kupec (the Chief of UNC fundraising until this week) over a number of personal trips funded with university dollars where the couple traveled around the country to watch her other son, Ben Hansbrough, play basketball for Notre Dame. She was originally placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, but late Wednesday Hansbrough tendered her resignation to the school, leaving little question as to her alleged culpability. The six trips to see the younger Hansbrough occurred during the 2010-11 season, but according to the N&O, the couple has taken as many as 25 trips together since May 2010 on the school's dime. It's unclear at this point whether any or all of those trips were legitimate, but this is yet another black stain on the UNC brand — it makes you wonder just what kind of internal controls they have in place in Chapel Hill, because it certainly doesn't appear there are many.
- Sean Miller is absolutely tearing it up on the recruiting trail down in the desert, as five-star prospect in the Class of 2013, Rondae Jefferson, has committed to the Wildcats. A 6'7″, 215-lb. small forward from Chester, Pennsylvania, Jefferson's commitment proves that the UA brand name remains relevant nationally, as Miller is on track to bring in his third straight top 10 recruiting class with this pickup. ESPN.com's Paul Biancardi describes Jefferson as one of the hardest-working players in his class, and is somewhat reminiscent of Kentucky's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in his relentless attacks on the rim. It's been over a decade since another RJ patrolled the wing at the McKale Center, but without question Miller is looking to bring back those glory days with a continual influx of players like these. One other recruiting note: According to Rivals.com, eight of the top 10 players nationally in this class are still uncommitted.
- Let's close with an uplifter in a week that was less than so… remember the tearjerker of a story involving a Gettysburg College player named Cory Weissman who had suffered a terrible stroke but who received a chance to play and made a single free throw — the only point of his college career — on Senior Day last season? The story got a lot of coverage last spring, with ESPN, SI, NPR, and just about everyone else doing a feature profile on his remarkable story. Well, that story had some legs, as 1,000 to 1: The Cory Weissman Story will begin shooting on the Gettysburg campus a little later this fall. If you don't recall his triumphant moment, you can check it out on Youtube here — just make sure you have a few Kleenex handy.

No, Mitt Romney Didn't Personally Hack Your Facebook
from the going-mobile dept
"Now we'll have to spell your name all 'puter like, p4uL rY4n!"
Image source: CC BY 2.0
Well, in what I'm sure will shock everyone, no, Mitt Romney and his campaign did not rappel into a server farm Mission Impossible style and hack the internet tubes. Instead, the culprit appears to be Facebook's clumsy mobile application and its accomplice Senor Your-Fat-Fingers.
[Facebook] concluded that users are probably liking the Romney page on a mobile device by either accidentally clicking on a Romney ad or a "sponsored story" from the Romney campaign in their news feed. A Facebook spokesman, who wanted to remain anonymous, said the issue is unique to mobile because of the way the app works on small screens, and rejected the idea that the Romney camp was engaging in clickjacking. He added that the company is currently working to clean up its mobile interface.That, coupled with people who are "liking" Romney's page just so they can see what he's putting out there, even though they may not support him, is admittedly a far less fun explanation than the idea of Romney going all The Net on social media, but I never claimed that the truth was better than fiction. So it's back to your regularly scheduled social media political talk for all of you. Remember: anyone supporting Obama is a Chinese commie spy moron and anyone supporting Romney is almost certainly Hitler.

If Dickens Were Alive Today, He Would Be Me
To say, "If Dickens were alive today, he would write soap operas," is nonsense, not because it's unlikely, but because if Dickens wrote soap operas, he wouldn't be Dickens. Dickens wrote lots of things, but we remember him for his novels. If he didn't write novels, he would have been doing something very different from what the entity we celebrate as Dickens did. What Dickens did was expand and exploit the possibilities of the novel. Change that, and you change everything. A truly great writer's greatness depends on an unlikely convergence of many different qualities, and the greatness usually comes from the writer finding the perfect form and style of expression for what is expressed.
Would Shakespeare be a screenwriter if he were alive today? Maybe. Probably. He liked making money and suing people, so I'm sure he'd find Hollywood more appealing than many other places. His scripts would have been chopped up, put through development hell, and rendered "accessible to a wide audience". Nobody but film buffs would know his name. And what he wrote probably really would have been closer to Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter than anything else, because screenplays don't have much room for poetry. In other words, he wouldn't be Shakespeare-the-greatest-writer-in-English writing screenplays, he'd be some guy named Bill Shakespeare with a nice house in Beverly Hills.
Yes, Shakespeare and Dickens wrote popular art. So did Mary Johnston, Harold Bell Wright, Gertrude Atherton, Mika Waltari, and Henry Morton Robinson. Defenders of genre writing need to whine less and spend more time arguing the specific merits of whatever writing they are proclaiming to be masterpieces. Or they need to stop caring what the literary world they so dislike thinks of them, because in my experience, it's the genre-only readers who are more ignorant and disdainful of the world of mainstream fiction than vice versa.

Latest revision as of 18:17, April 25, 2013
A sticheron (plural: stichera) is a type of hymn used mainly in Vespers and Matins. A sticherarion is a book containing the stichera for the morning and evening services throughout the year. Stichera are also found in the Menaion and Octoechos. (This should not be confused with the sticharion, which is a kind of vestment.)
Stichera are commonly written in cycles on particular themes or for use in particular liturgical contexts. Examples of such themes include:
- The Beatitudes
- Particular saints ("stichera aposticha")
- The Resurrection
Examples of liturgical contexts where stichera are commonly used include:
Stichera are usually sung in alternation with verses from the Psalms or other scriptural sources. In liturgical books, they are designated as having a particular tone.
Settings of stichera are frequently found in recordings of Orthodox liturgical music, some by well known composers.

WALTHAM, Mass. - Brandeis University's softball team used a six-run first inning and an eight-run fourth inning to overpower MIT, 14-1, on Tuesday afternoon in non-conference action on Marcus Field. The victory, which lasted just five innings, pushed the Judges back over the .500 mark to an overall record of 12-11, while the Engineers fell to 1-16 with the loss.
The game was originally scheduled to be played on March 22, but was postponed due to unplayable field conditions as a result of winter weather.
Junior first basemen Kaitlin Streilein inflicted the most damage upon the Cardinal and Gray, as she blasted a grand slam in the bottom of the fourth to end any hopes of a Tech comeback. It was her fourth round-tripper of the season.
Rookie shortstop Chelsea Korp and senior catcher Caitlin Lukacs also pitched in with two RBI apiece, while pitcher Natalie Volpe and third baseman Samantha Worth each drove in one run.
The Judges wasted little time getting on the scoreboard in the first inning, as Korp cleared the fence with a two-run homer out of the number two spot in the order. It was the freshman's second intercollegiate homerun. Four MIT errors led to four unearned runs, giving Brandeis a comfortable 6-0 lead after the first frame.
Tech pulled a run back in the top of the second when freshman third baseman Chelsea Ostrander stroked a leadoff double and was brought in by back-to-back groundouts. Fellow rookie Kasey Rowe earned the RBI.
MIT's freshman pitcher Priscilla Army settled down nicely in the second and third innings following the rough opening, allowing just two hits over that span. However, the Judges exploded once again in the fourth, pouring on eight runs to extend the lead to 14-1. Volpe led off with her first homerun of the season before her teammates strung together six more hits - including a two-RBI single by Lukacs and Streilein's grand slam - to close the door on the scoring.
In addition to Ostrander's double, the Engineers also received hits from junior Holly Jeffrey and sophomore Kaitlyn McCartney, who each registered a single.
Volpe (4-1) tossed all five innings for Brandeis, allowing just three hits and one earned run while walking two and striking out six.
Army (0-2) took the loss, allowing 14 runs (nine earned) and 11 hits in 3.1 innings. She also struck out two and walked five. Junior Leah Bogsted entered the game in the fourth to record the final two outs, conceding one hit and striking out one batter.
MIT will return to the diamond tomorrow, when it will travel to Babson College for a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference doubleheader at 3:30 p.m. Brandeis will also be in action tomorrow afternoon, as the Judges will welcome UMass-Boston for a pair of contests on Marcus Field.

Most of us are familiar with most of the traditions around Christmas: the secular, the non-secular, the music and the traditions.
But we've come across some things that you MIGHT not know. Keep reading and test yourself.
Santa's reindeer... are all girls?
Each of Santa's reindeer -- the original eight as well as Rudolph -- always is depicted with a full rack of antlers on Christmas Eve. That's strong evidence that all nine probably are female.
According to the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, reindeer are the only members of the deer family where everyone grows antlers: males and females alike. Males shed their antlers by late November or early December. Females retain their antlers until after giving birth in the spring. So, when Dec. 24 rolls around and it is time for Santa to take flight behind his team of antlered coursers, in all likelihood Donner, Blitzen and the gang are females.
It is not a certainty, however. On occasion, a male will retain his antlers until the end of December. And geldings (neutered males) also retain their antlers. In the field of reindeer husbandry, neutering is not uncommon. Laplanders often neuter male reindeer before putting them to work, so the possibility that Santa's reindeer are neutered males cannot be discounted,
You can name all of Santa's reindeer, can't you? If not, go stand in the corner and memorize this list, as composed by Clement Clark Moore in 1823:
Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet, on, Cupid! On Donder and Blitzen."
Rudolph did not join the herd until 1939, when he turned up in a short story. Ten years later, he went down in history when Gene Autry recorded the now-classic song written by Johnny Marks.
What Christmas carol has its own museum?
Speaking of music - did you know that there is a Christmas carol that has a museum dedicated to it? True story!
The Silent Night Museum is in Salzburg, Austria and celebrates the life of Joseph Mohr, who wrote the lyrics to the sacred Christmas carol.
For many years, Franz Xaver Gruber was acknowledged as the 19th Century composer of the melody for Silent Night, but the lyricist was unknown. Only in 1995 was documented evidence discovered that identified Father Mohr, an Austrian parish priest, as the author of the poem that Gruber set to music.
The words were written (in German) in 1816 and Father Mohr performed the carol for the first time at his parish church in Oberndorf, Austria, on Christmas Eve in 1818. Gruber was the church organist, but the organ had been damaged and was unplayable. So the debut performance of Silent Night was accompanied by a guitar.
Father Mohr was born in 1792 and died in 1848. The Silent Night Museum occupies his birthplace.
What does Good King Wenceslas have to do with Christmas?
One of most popular Christmas carols is "Good King Wenceslas." Why is the good king associated with the Christmas celebration?
King Wenceslas (a Bohemian duke named Vlacav, actually) was a generous and pious man and a devout Christian who was martyred for his faith in the year 929. But his story is not a Christmas story.
The melody of "Good King Wenceslas" is a Scandinavian spring carol that originated in the 13th Century. The words we know today were written in 1853 by the Rev. John Mason Neale. Neale published it in a book of songs for "Christmastide," the 12 days of Christmas from Dec. 25 to Jan. 6. The story told in the carol is not about Christmas Day, however, but of another religious festival day that coincidentally happens to fall during Christmastide.
As the carol relates:
Good King Wenceslas looked out,
On the feast of Stephen..
St. Stephen's Day is on Dec. 26. It was on that day that King Wenceslas went out to comfort the poor. According to The Hymns and Carols of Christmas, it probably was the proximity of the two days that link the song and the Christmas holiday in popular culture. But the lyrics make no mention of the Nativity or of Christmas observance.
In medieval times, Saint Wenceslas became the patron saint of Bohemia. Today, he is the patron of the modern Czech republic.
What is a Kringle?
One of Santa's many names is "Kris Kringle." But what is a "kringle?"
A kringle is a Danish pastry, filled with fruit, nuts or a fruit-and-nut combination. A traditional kringle usually is oval shaped, and may be coated with vanilla or chocolate icing.
And what does that have to do with "Kris Kringle," one of Santa's alternative names? Nothing at all.
The name "Kris Kringle" originated in the Pennsylvania Dutch community during the early 1800s. It is derived from the German phrase Christine, which means "little Christ child." The Pennsylvania Dutch also called Santa besmirches, but that seems not to have caught on in the wider community.
Although Kringle are not specifically associated with Christmas, the people who bake them think they make wonderful Christmas gifts. Kringle bakers appear to be concentrated in the Midwest, at least on the Internet, and we found two places in Racine, Wick. offering mail-order sales: Racine Danish Kringle's and the O&H Danish Bakery. (New Yorkers will want to know that Racine does not offer prune Kringle, but O&H does, at least the last time we looked.)
What is the origin of the Christmas tree?
Decorated trees have not always been a part of the Christmas celebration. Do you know where (and when) the tradition of celebrating Christmas with an evergreen tree began?
At Christmastime in 1510, in the Latvian capital of Riga, a tree was decorated with paper ornaments and used in the holiday celebration. At the culmination of the holiday, the tree was tossed in a bonfire and burned.
The Latvians claim that as the first Christmas tree ever.
A few years later, in Germany, Martin Luther decorated a tree with candles, and the idea of a Christmas tree began spreading from Germany into other parts of Europe.
Trees have been used as part of ritual celebrations since pagan times. The fir tree was adopted by early Christians, probably because its triangular shape recalled the Trinity which is a central theme of Christianity. Fir trees often were hung from the ceiling, upside down, as part of religious worship. But until the Latvians got the idea, those trees were not decorated or associated specifically with Christmas.
Although much medieval lore is subject to question, Latvia's claim to the first Christmas tree is widely accepted. The International Christmas Archives, for example, credits the Latvians with originating the Christmas tree.
What unexpected Christmas event occurred during World War I?
World War I combat began in August of 1914. By winter, the battle in Belgium had bogged down. Soldiers on both sides were dug into defensive trenches, often separated by only a few dozen yards of no-man's land.
Then, on Christmas Eve, German soldiers put small trees outside their trenches and decorated them with candles as they sang carols. Signs, written in English, invited the opposing British and French troops to stop fighting to mark the holiday. British solders responded with "Merry Christmas" signs of their own. (The U. S. did not enter the war until 1917.)
For a day, peace broke out. The truce was spontaneous; some officers actively discouraged it. But in many places, troops met in no-man's land, exchanging handshakes and greetings with enemy soldiers.
When Christmas ended, so did the truce. There would not be another Christmas truce during the war.
To learn more, read Silent Night: The Story of the World War I Christmas Truce, a book by military historian Stanley Weintraub.

COOKVEILLE, Tenn. -- The iconic television show "Survivor" has been to many exotic locations, from Borneo to Fiji to Samoa. Call this one Survivor: Eblen Center.
What could have been a rout in either direction turned into a battle of nerves and a test of will as Tennessee Tech remained unbeaten in Ohio Valley Conference play with a nail-biting, crowd-pleasing, 80-77 victory over Tennessee State.
Tech (9-7/3-0 OVC) led by as many as 14 points in the opening seven minutes after a 17-0 run. The Tigers (5-9/1-2 OVC) fought their way back and went up by nine to begin the second half with a 13-0 run.
Once those runs were finished, the fight turned into a thriller.
Guard Diamond Henderson drained two of the biggest baskets of the night, back-to-back 3-pointers with about four minutes to play that allowed the hosts to get the upper hand and coach Jim Davis' team held on for the win.
Henderson finished the night with 24 points, including 5-for-6 accuracy from long range, to lead Tech and pace all scorers. Jala Harris added 20. Tech also got nine points and seven rebounds from Molly Heady and eight rebounds from T'Keyah Williams.
TSU was led by Jasmin Shuler with 17 points. Chelsea Hudson added 11 points and nine rebounds while Simone Hope had 10 points and seven rebounds as the Tigers claimed a 42-34 advantage in rebounds, including 29-14 edge in the second half.
Down 6-3 after two minutes, Tech went on a scoring binge that counted points from four different players. Katherine Barker ignited the 19-2 run that included seven from Harris and five from Heady. It left Tech with a 20-6 lead with 13:18 to play in the half.
Tennessee State found a combination that worked, forcing some missed shots and five turnovers during a six-minute span, and six different players contributed points in a 17-6 streak that brought the Tigers back within a basket, 29-27, with 5:35 to play.
The Golden Eagles led by six a couple more times in the half before heading to the break with a 39-35 advantage. Tech shot 55.6 percent in the first half, including 5-for-11 from long distance, and had a 20-13 margin on the glass. TSU shot 38.2 percent in the opening 20 minutes but was a perfect 7-for-7 at the free throw line.
Hope scored the first basket of the second half and TSU didn't stop until it had run together a 13-0 stretch and grabbed a 48-39 lead. Shuler notched five in the run and Hope had four, including the first and last baskets.
Tech's comeback included a 3-pointer by Henderson with 9:58 remaining that lifted the Golden Eagles back into the lead, 57-56.
From there, the score was tied three more times before back-to-back 3-pointers by Henderson gave the Golden Eagles a 71-66 lead with 4:24 remaining.
Tech made seven of eight free throws in the final 3:03 to hold off a late push by the Tigers before a 3-pointer by TSU's Brianna Lawrence with one second left made it a three-point final.
The Golden Eagles take to the highway this weekend for their next two contests, facing SIUE on Saturday at 4 p.m. and Eastern Illinois Monday at 7 p.m. in OVC action.

Every year, the World Food Programme feeds over 90 million people in over 70 countries. Considering that there are about 31.5 million seconds in year, counting one number per second, it would take you almost 3 years to count the number of people that WFP feeds every year!
So how does WFP do it? As a player on Freerice, the valuable grains of rice you raise answering questions correctly are part of the solution. This video explains the rest...
To find out more about how Freerice helps the World Food Programme, go to: http://www.wfp.org/how-to-help/individuals/freerice
i love other websites, too.
this soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo helps~!
Join The Amazing Asian Invasion in "Find Groups"!!!!!!!!
remeber that if you are going to attend the new all girls school in houston plzjoin my club im the only member thats sucks but its only for people are going to this schoool (6th grade only )
this is so cool can you belive i found this website from a summer activite for my middle school . i will be on here mor often
I would like to know how many grains of rice should be fed daily a man? (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Would ya'll join my group Hand In Hand Togther We Stand? So we can fight hunger!
I like donating rice to people
i love this site, its has made my use my vocabulary more and i am helping the less fortunate. what else could a person want?
i think this is a great website! i love helping others! bllaahh to everyone who does not like this website!
90,000,000 people!!!! That is amazing!!!!
lucky us
Very good information
Using freerice to help feed hungry people makes me feel so good!
A small request: Would it be possible to make an iPhone and iPod Touch app so we could earn rice on-the-go? I have tried using your website on my iTouch, but it's a small screen and involves a lot of zooming in and required internet connections that I don't always have (therefore if you could do it without an internet connection and sync the rice later that would be great). Please help me earn even more rice!
It's great to feed people but we need to remember why they are hungry in the first place. Look into where your clothes/coffee/chocolate come from.
It makes me feel good, doing all this and answering all these questions for the hungry! I feel like I'm making a change. So Let's answer some questions for the hunger!
great job.............

We have just fallen in love with the idea of drinking soup before we think of having dinner. A flavor a day is my way of taking soups so I don't get bored with the idea of drinking soup. A dear friend who knows me very well asks me 'so...which soup recipe are you hunting today :D'....I had red pepper at home, so thought of making a soup with tomato. All soups which I have been making has 4 'essential' ingredients they are 2 veggies, Onion and Garlic any thing additional added to season depends on the vegetable used. I have followed the same 'essential ingredient' principle here, using Italian spices to season the soup. The bright red color made :) and taste was just the way I wanted it to be..less salty, subtly spiced and stomach friendly.
Ingredients :
Red Bell Pepper : 1
Tomato : 2 big
Onion : 1 medium sized
Garlic : 1 pod
Water to make up the volume of Soup
Seasoning : pepper, Mixed Italian spices -store bought, salt
Grilled all the vegetables on stove top grill...
When you start grilling while onions and garlic with skin you get a very nice aroma..(I liked it, you may or may not like it)
Once you grill all the vegetables till they are blistered all over; remove the blistered skin and wash them under running water to remove any adhering burnt skin. This way the final soup will not smell burnt!
Blend everything in a blender and filter to your soup pot add bring it to boil. Add salt and other seasoning ingredients mentioned above according to your taste and remove from stove. Enjoy hot soup with your favorite accompaniment.
Here is a bowl of 'no fat' plain soup seasoned with spices for you !
Sending this bowl of soup to MM-Grill It hosted by Sig of Live to Eat
Also this goes to colorful event hosted by Sunshine Mom of Tongueticklers blog. This month's color is RED

Each hand-rolled stick contains a unique combination of traditional and synthetic pigments, combined to bring out their inherent beauty. Colors lay down with minimal resistance allowing several layers to accrue without becoming too thick.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
Pigment PY74 is one of the most commercially important pigments of the Hansa Yellow group, considered superior to many others in its class based on both tinting strength and lightfastness. Several PY74 grades with different particle sizes are available. Grades with finer particle size are more brilliant and transparent. Pigment PY74 ranges from reddish yellow to greenish yellow, with temperature shifts from cool to warm hues. It has high tinting strength and average to slow drying time.
This Hansa Yellow has better lightfastness that other yellow monoazo pigments, particularly in the darker shades.
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.
Arylide, Arylide Yellow, Azo, Brilliant Yellow, Monoazo, Monolite Yellow, Permanent Yellow.
charred animal bone
carbon + calcium phosphate
C + Ca3(PO4)2 or C × CaPO4
Ivory Black is a cool, semi-transparent blue-black with a slight brownish undertone and average tinting strength. It mixes well with any color, and creates a range of dull greens when mixed with yellow. It has good properties for use in oil, can be slow to dry in oil form, and should never be used in underpainting or frescoing. Ivory Black is denser than Lamp Black.
Ivory Black is very lightfast and has good permanence, though it is considered the least permanent of the major black pigments.
Ivory Black has no significant hazards.
Ivory Black is a carbon based black first named as Elephantium, and described in the 4th century BCE as produced by heating ivory scraps in clay pots to reduce the ivory or bone to charcoal. The deviation in names is because the more expensive varieties of this pigment were made by burning ivory, and the less expensive ones by burning animal bone. In the 19th century, the name Ivory Black was finally permitted to be applied to Carbon Black pigments made from bone. True Ivory Black is rare in modern times due to the protection of ivory, and the synthetic variety produced today was discovered in 1929. Bone Black is produced as an industrial pigment.
Animal Black, Blue Black, Bone Black. Paris Black is an inferior grade of Ivory Black. Incorrectly labeled as Frankfort Black.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.

MUNCIE, Ind. – Six weeks into the 2012 season, Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch sits among the top players in the nation in some important statistical categories.
With an average of 340.67 yards of total offense a game, NIU's first-year starter is seventh in the country, about 94 yards a game behind the leader, Baylor quarterback Nick Florence. West Virginia QB Geno Smith, arguably the Heisman Trophy favorite at this point in the season, is second with 412.4 yards a game.
When it comes to rushing offense, Lynch's 131.5 yards a game is good for eighth in the nation. On this list are names such as Raymond Maples of Army, who averages 134.2 yards a game, and Cody Getz of Air Force ranks No.1 and averages 177.5 yards a game. Those players are in triple option systems.
Lynch is the second-leading rusher among quarterbacks. Michigan's all-world athlete Denard Robinson is first with 135.20 yards a game. Lynch's nine rushing touchdowns are good for sixth in the nation.
While he continues to climb atop national leaderboards, the Huskies' junior QB said he's not paying attention to his ranking among the country's elite.
"No idea. I have no idea," Lynch said after Saturday's 35-23 win at Ball State, where he had a career-high 207 rushing yards on 29 carries, an average of 7.1 yards, while running for three touchdowns.
Six weeks into the season, opposing defenses haven't found a way to stop the Huskies' quarterback draw.
Saturday, Huskies head coach Dave Doeren didn't think his team blocked very well at the start of the game, and gave credit to Ball State's defense. He said the Cardinals played heavy techniques and got their hands on NIU's blockers. Doeren said his offense didn't block 1-on-1 as well as they have been.
In the second half, NIU's second-year head coach said his team got back to doing what it does well. It paid off, with Lynch gaining 150 yards after halftime. The biggest play from Lynch was a 71-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
The play call? A quarterback draw.
"He's a great player, I think everybody knows that now," Doeren said. "He's really playing hard, and the guys are executing around them and they're blocking hard around him. He's running the offense."
All season, NIU has been a good second half team, rallying three times for victories.
The Huskies' defense has gotten a good view of Lynch and Co. getting the job done when it counts.
"Man, we've got a lot of confidence. It seems like were a fourth-quarter team, it seems like that's where we play our best ball, in the fourth quarter," said NIU safety Jimmie Ward, who had 12 tackles and an interception in the Ball State win. "So when the ball is in Jordan Lynch's hands, I've got all the confidence in the world."

NEW LONDON, Conn. – In its last competition before hosting the Mid Atlantic Rifle Conference Championships next weekend, the MIT rifle team tuned up for the big meet with a match at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy along with the Wentworth Institute of Technology. The Engineers made the most of the opportunity, shooting a team season best score in smallbore and its second best air rifle score of the season to defeat both the Bears and Leopards in each discipline.
Senior Nigel Kojimoto (Honolulu, Hawaii) and junior Elizabeth Phillips (Anchorage, Alaska) led the way for MIT in the smallbore competition, with each recording season-high scores. Phillips fired off a 562, a score that was second best among all shooters, with Kojimoto just behind with his 561. Senior Jennifer de Bruijn (Harare, Zimbabwe) carded a 540 for the Engineers, while senior Michael Bautista (Melbourne, Fla.) and junior Timothy Jenks (The Woodlands, Texas) added scores of 528 and 526 respectively to complete the team scoring.
Senior Christian Valledor (Ft. Leavenworth, Kan.) and sophomore Kaiying Liao (Issaquah, Wash.) also turned in season-high scores in smallbore for the Engineers. Valledor got off a 506; while Liao saw her season best score rise to 526.
Kojimoto also shot a season best score in air rifle, leading MIT and all competitors with a 576. Just one off her season-high, de Bruijn was second for the Engineers with a 568. Just behind her was Phillips, who matched her season best with a 562. Bautista and Valledor rounded out the team score for MIT with efforts of 537 and 536, with Valledor's score establishing yet another season best for the Engineers.
Liao made it two-for-two in setting season highs, establishing a new mark in air rifle as well with her 551. Jenks added a season-high in air rifle as well, firing a 536.
MIT will host the Mid Atlantic Rifle Conference Championships on Saturday, February 25.

We have been house hunting and it is not going well. This housing market is bad right now. Bad for sellers and bad for buyers with less than perfect credit. So for now we will stay here. I am going to do lots of upgrade to our home. We will also continue saving and working on our credit so that we can get a country home that we dream of in time.
But for now, it is diy time! I am starting with my least favorite room…MY KITCHEN! It is a VERY scarey thought but I want you all to know that if I can do this ANYONE can! That is why I want to take you on this diy trip with me! I want to update the cabinets, countertops, backsplash and island. I have to do all this on a next to NOTHING budget! Can it be done? I want to prove it can!
Here is my before picture. Ugh I know! Ugly brown cabinets and even worse formica counter tops.
I also HATE the island. It is basically NOT usable. I want to make it a flat surface that will allow us to eat there and cook there.
So here we go! I will report back as soon as I can. Wish me luck!

Congratulations! You've decided to start working out. Now you need to decide where to go. There is a health club out there for you. The trick is picking one that serves your needs, because when it comes to health and fitness, one size definitely doesn't fit all. We asked three fitness industry experts what to look for when picking a place to work out.
Congratulations! You've decided to start working out. Now you need to decide where to go. There is a health club out there for you. The trick is picking one that serves your needs, because when it comes to health and fitness, one size definitely doesn't fit all. We asked three fitness industry experts what to look for when picking a place to work out.
For active parents and their kids (toddlers through teens)
Expert: Dr. Henry Williford, department head of physical education/exercise science at Auburn University at Montgomery and co-author, American College of Sports Medicine's "Selecting and Effectively Using a Health and Fitness Facility."
Child supervision: It's the main issue here. For older kids (ages 13 on up) who are allowed to use weights and cardio equipment, is there someone watching to see if they're using proper technique? Is there an intro to exercise program for kids? Generally when people get injured it's because of poor mechanics.
Day care facilities: If youngsters can't use the gym, is there a supervised area for them to hang out? If so, are activities offered so they can do more than just sit in a room? Are day care providers background checked? Do they have CPR and first-aid skills? Some facilities give a pager to parents in case of emergency.
Facilities: Are there separate shower/changing facilities just for older kids and family locker rooms for younger ones and their parents to use together?
Classes for kids: Does the health club offer a variety of exercise programs and classes for kids? And are some specifically aimed at the obese/overweight child? Does your family membership cover classes for kids?
Geared for kids: Is equipment appropriately sized for kids? Are there kid-friendly workout machines, such as Wii Fit, so they don't get bored? Is there a gym area just for kids? Overall, is this facility a place where you feel comfortable with your child, or leaving your child to exercise/take classes?
Child care: Are there extra fees for child care? Do they charge by the child or the hour?
Hours: For working parents, do club and child care hours work for you and your child? Are there things for both of you to do after work/on weekends at this club? Are there summer programs and after-school activities?
The average exerciser: Single or married, no kids, ages 18-50
Expert: Dr. Michele Olson, professor of physical education/exercise science at Auburn University at Montgomery and co-author, American College of Sports Medicine's "Selecting and Effectively Using a Health and Fitness Facility."
Accreditation: You are the health club industry's biggest market. Find out if the facility is accredited by IHRSA (International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association) and/or if they follow ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) standards. If yes, the facility is interested in the health and wellness of its members and not just interested in staying in business.
Is the staff qualified? Trainers should have an undergraduate or graduate degree in exercise science or physical education and a certification from a reputable body, such as ACE (American Council on Exercise), ACSM, NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association), Cooper Institute or NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine). The health club manager should have a degree in business and/or health promotion, so the gym won't go out of business in three months.
Trainers and specialists? Are there other specialists on staff to serve your needs, such as a physical therapist, massage therapist, athletic trainer and/or registered dietitian? Are you looking for a swim coach or Pilates instructor? Does the club offer programs and have trainers that match your goals?
Hours: Will these hours fit your work schedule?
Locker rooms: If it's a family-friendly facility, are there locker rooms, cardio areas and weight rooms that are adults-only? If kids share facilities, are they required to be supervised, or are they running around and apt to drive you crazy?
Location and safety: If the club is 45 minutes out of the way, you're much less likely to exercise. If you can drop by on your way to/from work, there are fewer excuses not to go. Is parking convenient and safe at night?
Price: Is this facility affordable? Are you being pressured into a multiyear membership? In this economy, a club might not be open five years down the road. Do the activities that interest you, such as swimming or yoga, carry additional fees?
For seniors
Expert: Colin Milner, CEO and founder of the International Council on Active Aging, icaa.cc
Whom does the club serve? Do you see people like you in there? Some clubs say they serve seniors but beyond a senior discount, they don't.
Is the club accessible? Can you read signage throughout the club? Are the aisles wide enough for wheelchairs or walkers? Can you easily go from one area to another? Are rooms free of clutter to avoid tripping? Is lighting bright throughout? Are doors too heavy or difficult to open?
Staff: Is the staff knowledgeable about senior issues? If you're frail, is there a trainer qualified to design a strength-training program for you? How about if you have Parkinson's or heart disease? Eighty percent of people over 65 have a chronic health condition and two out of three have multiple conditions.
Equipment: Is the equipment appropriate for seniors? Are there recumbent bikes, which are more stable and easier to get up and down from without fear of falling? Are there stretching facilities for those who have a hard time getting up off the ground? Do barbells and other equipment come lighter than 10 pounds? Forty-six percent of those age 80 and older can't lift 10 pounds or more.
Is it a social place? Especially if you're living alone or retired, is there a place at your club to chat or eat with other seniors?
Talking with your doctor: Will the staff work hand-in-hand with your physician if you have health issues to make sure your exercise program is appropriate? If they won't and the staff's not knowledgeable, issues can arise. Are there other programs to serve your needs, such as pain management, stress management or nutrition classes?
Classes: Are there classes for your level of fitness and function, such as shorter classes (30 minutes, rather than an hour) for those who tire easily? Or classes aimed at those with osteoporosis or chronic pain?
For everyone
Cleanliness: You should see three to five people wiping down equipment on a regular basis with sanitary sprays and towels. Members should be encouraged to do the same after using equipment. If no one's carrying around a spray bottle, it's a good sign staff doesn't care.
Equipment: It should be well-maintained. If machines are broken, it's frustrating and dangerous for members. Good facilities lease equipment and replace it with new stuff every three to four years. They also have a regular maintenance schedule and broken equipment is quickly fixed/replaced.
Safety and first aid: Are there defibrillators on site? Is staff trained in first aid and CPR?

For those who have all the basic services, it may be hard to conceive of the extreme poverty faced by the indigenous K'iche communities. My first experience in the Bio-rights initiative was to visit Chicorral, the most remote and difficult to access community, and smallest with only 20 families.
In the rainy season it takes over an hour of difficult walking, depending on the physical obstacles which include mudslides and landslides caused by deforestation. But one forgets how tiring the walk is once you arrive and are greeted by the gentle faces of the community.
During my visit to Chicorral, a tour was given and people demonstrated their vulnerable situations due to landslides. Each rainy season they suffer landslides and mudslides, which are caused by deforestation - the forest is cut down for the production of maxán leaves (traditionally used to wrap tomales) and coffee monoculture. We discussed the importance of being organised to prepare for emergencies and work on measures that reduce the risks and problems caused by the heavy rain.
It is interesting to work and live with the community because despite not having many resources, they give everything they have to make you feel comfortable. Gradually we have earned the trust of the community,which is a key to success for the Bio-rights approach. They disclosed their needs, helped with translation of Quiche into Spanish and in documenting information and the agreements of each visit.
The community visits are planned every three weeks, depending on the availability of community members. In some visits I travelled alone and the community leader walked down the valley, closer to my base, to ensure I could reach them without any difficulties.
When we visited in December 2012, for the identification and prioritization of their needs and to discuss their project ideas, leaders requested that the entire community join to decide. Unfortunately it was not possible because it was harvest season for the coffee and maxán leaves, their main sources of household income. However, this tells me that there is a great degree of cohesion among community members, which is essential for reaching the initiative's objectives.
When the discussions started on the prioritisation of disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures there was an
atmosphere of openness and trust. Five projects were proposed by the Chicorral community:
- construction of a water tank, that will allow water distribution to families;
- expansion of the school, which in an emergency event serves as a shelter for vulnerable families;
- small risk mitigation and reduction works around 20 homes;
- reforestation;
- improvement of the access road to the community.
In return for the financing of these activities, the community members committed to supply their labour, as well as a commitment for reforestation at water sources and along the creek that is a tributary of theMasáRiverSubBasin.
This is the essence of Bio-rights: in exchange for micro-credit funds that support more sustainable livelihoods and increased resilience, a community pays back the loan by restoring and maintaining important environmental services.
My professional and personal commitment to the four communities we work with has grown in response to their trust, hospitality and acceptance: they are always friendly and welcoming despite their difficult circumstances.

She works as Local Development officer in the Bio-rights initiative on Ecosystem Management for Wetlands international. She is based in Santo Tomás, a small town at the entrance of the valley where the Bio-rights approach is implemented. Here she raises awareness on the importance of protecting water sources and biodiversity for sustainable livelihoods. She also helps communities formulate Conservation and Community Development plans and supports the accreditation of local disaster response coordinators.

Nasdaq OMX Group (NASDAQ:NDAQ) said a series of "unprecedented events" ignited the so-called Flash Freeze last week that caused a halt in Nasdaq-listed securities.
Continue Reading Below
The exchange operator said a slew of "technology events" caused a veritable perfect storm on August 22, forcing it to shut down trading on Nasdaq-listed financial products to stave off broader issues. The problems centered around the Securities Information Processor -- a system operated by Nasdaq that allows other exchanges to process orders of Nasdaq securities.
"A number of these issues were clearly within the control of NASDAQ OMX," Nasdaq said in a statement "As the Securities Information Processor (SIP) for NASDAQ stocks, we are responsible for them, regret them, and intend to take all steps necessary to address them to enhance stability and functionality of the markets."
Still, Nasdaq didn't leave the blame completely on itself, saying "other issues contributing to the halt are more endemic to technology issues across today's complex markets and will require a broader industry-wide effort to resolve."
Indeed, Nasdaq specifically said NYSE Arca, an all-electronic platform operated by NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX), sent a "stream of quotes for inaccurate symbols" and as many as 20 connect and disconnect requests early that day, which "consumed significant resources."
A NYSE spokesperson declined to comment on the matter. However, a person familiar with NYSE's thinking said the operator of the Big Board believes Nasdaq should have had the ability to throttle its input into the SIP system and the burst of requests from NYSE Arca shouldn't have caused a meltdown like the Flash Freeze seen last week. The person said NYSE believes this hasn't been a problem before.
Nasdaq vowed to research methods of bolstering the systems in question. The company also said it would conduct a "comprehensive review" of its communication policies in light of criticism that it was too slow to explain exactly what was happening.
Trading in Nasdaq-listed securities was down for 178 minutes that day -- and only reopened with 35 minutes to go before the closing bell on Wall Street. Among the many instruments halted were shares of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Google (NASDAQ:MSFT), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and other big-name firms.
Charlie Gasparino contributed reporting.

Kohlberg wrote:In Europe, a woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to make. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $ 1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: "No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it." So Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug-for his wife. Should the husband have done that?
Is differentiating between the two what you mean about weighing the "negative" and the "positive?"

New to the UK?
In order to work in the UK you must have a National Insurance Number.
How to get National Insurance NumberHow to get a National Insurance Number the most convenient way?
Considering that anyone who works or runs a business in the UK, needs to have a National Insurance Number UK, it makes sense to get one as fast as possible. You need to get NI number as soon as possible to ensure that you have the National Insurance Number. Being a newcomer to the UK, you might be wondering how to get National Insurance Number. All that you need to do is click Apply for a National Insurance Number.Does the National Insurance Number benefit the State and You?
Yes, it certainly does. When you decide to become a part of the National Insurance Number scheme, the contributions that you make in the form of money gets you entitled to several privileges. This would not have been feasible if you weren't contributing to National Insurance. The advantages that you are able to get from the National Insurance system are also dependent on the amount that has been contributed by your life partner.
When you are a holder of the National Insurance Number, you get several claims such as State Pension, a jobseeker's allowance if you are unemployed and in between jobs, a bereavement allowance and a contribution towards the Employment and Support Allowance. This kind of financial help ensures that you have the money with you when you need it the most. It can tide you over the most difficult phases of your life.How much National Insurance will I end up paying?
You will certainly wish to know how much you will have to contribute for the National Insurance Number. For employed people, there is the Class 1 category for National Insurance. If you earn more than 110 pounds and less than 844 pounds per week, then you pay 11% for National Insurance. If you earn more than 844 pounds per week, then pay 12%.
The employer has the responsibility to subtract the tax and National Insurance payable directly from your earnings. There are a few parameters for a lower amount to pay. If you are a member of your employer's pension scheme or if you have been contracted out of State Second Pension the amount that you pay is lower.
If you are self-employed, then you are categorized under Class 2 or Class 4 for National Insurance Number contributions. Class 2 National Insurance contributors end up paying flat 2.40 pounds per week. Class 4 contributors pay according to the annual profits made. This is 8% up to 43,875 pounds and any amount more than that needs a National Insurance contribution of 9%.

Gorman said his office works on redistricting issues in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah following the U.S. Census every ten years. He adds that the 2010 Census shows just over 14,000 people in San Juan County, of which 7,400 are Native American. County officials said they have yet to receive Census information showing racial breakdowns.
The proposal would create three new districts of equal population. The "northern" district would be comprised mostly of Anglos and a 5.9 percent Native American population.
The two other districts would have Native American populations of 77 percent and 67 percent each.
Based on the map provided to the commission, the City of Blanding would be an intersection of the three districts, with portions of the city in each of the three proposed districts.
Gorman said the proposal would increase the participation and voting strength of Native Americans in San Juan County. Gorman said it would provide the opportunity to elect two Native American commissioners to the governing body. He reports that the Navajo Nation Council and Utah Navajo Commission support the redistricting proposal, as do the Aneth and Red Mesa Chapters.
Gorman suggested that a legal decision regarding elections my have been intended to segregate the Navajo people from the rest of San Juan County. He added that he has not been able to locate the decision at this time.
A Native American can run for office in any district where they live. Gorman said they would have a better opportunity to be elected based on the proposed redistricting.
Gorman suggested that a 60 percent population of Native Americans is needed to give a Native American candidate a better chance at being elected. Commissioner Bruce Adams questioned if the Anglo population would agree with the logic or if they feel that a 50/50 chance is sufficient for fairness.
Adams discussed a 1984 court order which created the three voting districts. Adams said that the districts were set up to make the population split as close to a 50 percent Anglo and 50 percent Native American ratio as was possible. Adams' district includes the northern end of San Juan County, in addition to Halls Crossing, Oljato and Navajo Mountain.
The Blanding and White Mesa areas make up a second district, represented by Commissioner Phil Lyman. There is speculation that the new census shows 40 percent of Blanding is Native American.
The final district, represented by Commissioner Kenneth Maryboy, is made up of Bluff and precincts in the southeast corner of the county, including Montezuma Creek, Aneth, and Red Mesa. It is primarily Native American in population.
County Clerk Norman Johnson said there has not been a significant change to the population of the county or to voting districts since the 1984 court order. As a result, the boundaries of the commission districts have not been changed.
Deputy County Attorney Walter Bird said that the county was told in 1984 to use population numbers to make a proposal for voting districts. The proposal was accepted by the federal judge and is currently still being imposed.
Bird said that the U.S. Department of Justice has monitored the county voting and election process since that time. Johnson said that during his 12 years of monitoring, the county has complied fully with all requirements to give equal access to all citizens of San Juan County.
Adams said he is not convinced anything is broken in the current system. "It seems to be a fair decree and provides an opportunity for Native Americans to be elected in all three districts," he said.
Lyman said he wouldn't be bothered if all three commissioners are Native American but doesn't see the wisdom of splitting Blanding into three commission districts.
Lyman asked if the proposal isn't segregation if it creates a district that is 95 percent Anglo, if Anglos are now the minority race in the county. Lyman questioned the wisdom of a plan which places the majority of the taxable property in the county in a single district.
Gorman said his office is preparing for lawsuits, if needed. He added that since the county has not made an effort to look at redistricting, the Navajo Nation is "ahead of the game" in collecting data if they determine a need to go to the court and look at redistricting.
Lyman asked if the group would support doing away with districts and going to an election-at-large process if the county population is 60 percent Native American. Gorman said that commission support of his proposal would help in that regard.
Adams told Gorman, "I'm not advising you what to do, but we are trying to follow the court decree in San Juan County."
Adams said that it is a live issue before the District and Federal courts, and he is inclined to follow the court order until told to do otherwise. Bird echoed that the issue remains before the courts and the County position is to follow the order.
Maryboy praised the Utah Navajo Commission for their work on an issue that is so important to Utah Navajos. He added that it is a good opportunity to look at available options and see what steps can be taken to represent Native Americans in the best possible way.

Butterfly Effect Day Spa our tagline is "Captivate your Beauty"
Butterfly Effect day spa is where we create change. We are not just about the services we offer- We are about a lifestyle. A way feeling about yourself....a transformation. When we named the Butterfly Effect we were thinking of several things: The way the butterfly metamophisis works (catepiller, cocoon, and then- BAM!! a Butterfly). And we also thought of the Chaos theory (the butterfly effect) how one flap of a butterflies wing can cause a change in the atmosphere in a far away place. We offer eyelash extensions, facials, waxing, manicures or massage theraphy. Our day spa is located in the foothills of Sierra Madre in California. This is a small town with a rich history in old time Americana and a Hippy Vibe. We want to create a place where people come just to hang out and be with friends while they are getting services done. Elegant yet comfortable enough to come in your jeans. We want this to be the only place people come to for specialty services. We feature an outdoor courtyard with a fountain and we intend to create a space where good things happen, a place where women and sometimes men can come and transform into the feelings they want to express, hence,the Butterfly Effect Day Spa
Ladies who want to look GREAT! and
Ladies feeling like they want to transform into "Sexy" again.
Men who love to look good
Ladies who love long eyelashes/ Moms who are excited about change/ Young ladies who love to spend time with friends
I think it should have the name of the business (Butterfly Effect Day Spa) but if you have something else in mind we will be happy to consider it
The idea of the butterfly can exist but doesnt have to be the main focus.
We want something more unique than just a picture of a butterfly. Think of the concept of transformation, make it just as unique as you are as the artist.
Our goal is to have a longterm brand that will be used forever as our unique logo.
We hope we get to know you somehow because it is your art that will be spread out thoughout our business, cards, stationary, clothing, promo items and internet usage. We selected 99 design.com because we value your creative thinking and don't want to place alot of barriers on what you can or can not do.
We value your work and we hope our details and photos assist you with the process.
Best Regards,

In a great majority of otitis cases, we find that the symptoms began after
lactation was dis-continued and cow's milk or soy formula introduced. If the
infant is still on these products, we recommend their switching to goat's milk,
which is generally very well-tolerated, In some cases, however, the otitis
occurs even though no dairy products have been introduced or lasts long after
all dairy products have been discontinued. We also use a pediatric
vitamin/mineral and chewable calcium for nutritional support and often offer
herbal ear drops with garlic oil as the main ingredient as a backup, mostly to
give the parents a feeling that they are doing some- thing for the child while
the homeopathic remedy takes time to act. We use homeopathy, however, as the
mainstay of our treatment for otitis and nearly always give the child a single
dose of a high potency remedy such as 200c or lM. Most of the time, a single
dose of the correct homeopathic remedy takes care of the otitis and we don't
see the child again for another year or two when another acute childhood
illness of some sort arises. The following three cases are ex-amples of
successful homeopathic treatment of otitis media. (After studying each case,
read the correct prescriptions and case analyses at the end of the article.)
Case l: We treated L.R., age 22 months, in Winthrop, Washington. He
was a cute, active, blond-hair, blue-eyed child with a history of otitis media
since one year of age. Since that time the mother complained that every cold
went to his ears. He had a total of five episodes of otitis which were treated
unsuccessfully with Amoxicillin. He would develop a runny nose with his colds
with a thick green discharge. He pulled at both ears, his face was sometimes
red with a fever, and he could wake at night with ear pain. He'd get cranky,
but remained active. The otitis had no association with dentition. The
pregnancy had gone well. The mother had introduced some yogurt into his diet at
nine months and was still nursing him two to three times a day. The mother
drank milk the whole time she nursed him. His height and weight were at the
25th percentile and he was slow to teethe. He could skip a stool one day, but
would make up for it the next. His mother described him as extremely stubborn
and said he knew exactly what he wanted. He would scream and cry if he didn't
get what he wanted. He was not yet talking, but was very inquisitive. He didn't
like to be held by strangers. The mother noticed no improvement when she
recently removed cow's milk from his diet. Another naturopathic physician had
treated L. with Pulsatilla repeatedly without noticeable effect.
