Brand Naming: What Letter is in Your Freezer?
What would we do without frozen foods today?
Ever since Clarence Birdseye invented frozen foods, they've become an integral part of our lives. Yes, a few might disagree with that. However, frozen food penetration in the U.S. is almost universal.
The Frozen Food category is one of the most, if not the most, competitive in the food business. There's limited freezer space and new products are being presented to the grocery trade daily.
There are many elements that go into the marketing mix that impact the success of a frozen food product. Although not one of the 4 P's, a product's brand name is a critical element of the marketing mix.
With that in mind, our proprietary English language consonant research has revealed that a brand name beginning with the letter "S" is very appealing to female shoppers (think Sara Lee and Stouffer's).
On the other hand, brand names beginning with the letter "K" convey dependability. What could be more dependable to consumers than the Kraft brand?
For more insight into how English consonants influence consumer perceptions of frozen food brands, please see the recent Frozen Food Age article that more fully discusses our proprietary research findings.

In the world of stand-up comedy, the letter K connotes hilarity. Words like Koko, Cucamonga, and Kokomo just sound funny to English speakers. I wonder whether "Kraft" sounds dependable because of its sound or because of decades of brand equity and advertising spending...or because the concept of "craftsmanship" equates with quality.

In January, I penned an op-ed for the St.
Missouri has a criminal justice problem. While the spike in homicides in Kansas City captures a lot of attention, as it should, it isn't our only challenge.
Missouri's "Main Street," Interstate 70, is in need of more than the usual, periodic repairs. The roadway is, in some places, 60 years old, and its foundation has deteriorated.
We wrote recently of the opportunity to improve public safety in Missouri by "Raising the Age"—that is, keeping most 17-year olds out of the adult criminal justice system.
A new budget proposal from Rep. Scott Fitzpatrick (R-Shell Knob) would fully fund Missouri's foundation formula for K-12 education for the first time in years.
Legislation has been introduced in Missouri that would relax the state's rigid sentencing laws in favor of more flexible guidelines.
Economist Herbert Stein is famous for the quotation "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop."
The foundation formula put into place during the 2006-2007 school year is the basis for public school funding in Missouri.
The Saint Louis Zoo is one of the finest institutions of its kind, and is a source of civic and scientific pride for Saint Louisans.
The University of Missouri has received more than its share of media attention over the past few years, but most of that coverage has focused on the 2

Whenever I give give a talk about behavioral economics or behavioral finance, one of the questions that inevitably comes up is whether learning about the cognitive biases that people exhibit make the biases go away. The answer to this question is probably less satisfying than my audiences would like, since the most correct response I can give is "sometimes." As I've been asked this more and more, however, I figured I should put a bit more structure to my answer. Here's what I've come up with so far, albeit based on mostly anecdotal evidence:
- Some biases do actually go away once you learn that they exist. (Easy, right?)
- Some biases still show up in people's intuitive responses to questions and choices based on gut reactions (i.e. the "fast" response, as described by Daniel Kahneman in Thinking, Fast and Slow), but people can learn to not go with their initial reactions and instead make choices in a more rational manner (i.e. encourage the "slow" response system to take over).
- Some biases are almost impossible to make go away, since the self-control required and the psychological cost of not succumbing to the bias is very high.
Unfortunately, I don't have a complete taxonomy for determining which biases fall into which category (though this is an interesting area for further research!), but there is evidence that at least some people believe that biases can be coached away. From the NYT:
To cater to this demand, a whole new cottage industry has cropped up in which statisticians track performance data, and coaches and psychiatrists work to help hedge fund managers make smarter decisions by getting them to talk about their personal histories and biases. The thinking goes that if an athlete can use coaches, why not traders?
Two decades on, aided by the growing popularity of literature on the behavioral science of decision making, the idea that self-awareness can lead to better decisions in business and finance is beginning to be accepted on Wall Street. Borrowing from books like Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow," trading coaches talk about the systemic, recurrent and predictable mistakes to which humans are prone.
The article goes on to mention that there are over 50 behavioral biases that people are susceptible to…hmph- according to my Twitter contacts, they are missing quite a few:
@jodiecongirl Here's a list I made of 100 interesting behavioural economics behavioural change interventions https://t.co/JmkdsyYCEs
— Mark Egan (@Makeuya) November 12, 2013
(You can also find more info at the Sterling Behavioural Science Blog.)
So I took a look at this self-proclaimed "Nudge Database," and it's pretty great- it's got overviews, it's got charts, it's got citations, it's basically got most of what a behavioral nerd could possibly want. (It's also causing me to see any semblance of free time I may have had slip-sliding away.) In case you're still not convinced, here's an example of how the information is presented:
Fun, right? On one hand, I was going to say "you're welcome" for providing this information, since it's possible that knowledge leads to less biased behavior. On the other hand (there are no one-handed behavioral economists either), I'm not entirely convinced that being immune to nudges makes one better off, since the nudges help people overcome other suboptimal or biased behaviors. So…wellry? Sorrcome? I will have to think about this further.

text: The school isn't the only problem here, nor is the rape. There is a general attitude that exists within the entire system here in Missoula, as well as across the United States. The attitude I'm speaking of is a broad assumption of most who encounter the system. To the system, it is repetition, redundancy, and routine. When we get in routines, we get bored. When we get bored, we cut corners, and we look for ways to get away with stuff we know we shouldn't do. Whether we perceive these behaviors to be minute or serious, our own perception become irrelevant - we all know cutting corners is wrong - especially when you're an elected official, or in a position of power over others - i.e. public trust! Our leaders, authority figures, elected officials, or whatever you want to call them, need a reality check from WE THE PEOPLE! We should let them know it won't be tolerated! Political games have no relevance when dealing with people's lives! To play them in such dire circumstances shows a great deal of character and presents itself as an opportunity for us to correct the mistakes that are being made - RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES! If we can't recognize what's right in front of us, and fix it, then we can't fix America and it's current problems, no matter how much one tries to fool themselves into believing that they could. In order to inflict true change, one must lead by example! The feds see it - or they wouldn't be here!

More than 13.6 million theatregoers generated a total ticket revenue of almost £470million.
This is 1.25 million more tickets sold than during the previous record-breaking year when box office receipts passed the £400 million mark for the first time.
The success story was announced as the Society of London Theatre - the official face of theatreland - celebrates its 100th anniversary.
Many venues reported a growth in first-time visitors.
Chief executive Richard Pulford described last year as an "annus mirabilis" for London theatre, with many new productions catching the public imagination.
He said: "These figures are a wonderful start to our centenary year but we're under no illusions that in the current economic climate we're going to have to work very hard to maintain this success."
Rosemary Squire, the society's president and executive director of the Ambassador Theatre Group, said the figures were excellent news not only for the theatre industry but for the whole country's economy - they generated £70 million in VAT receipts.
She said: "The theatre capital of the world continues to come up with shows the public want to see."
Reality television shows had helped considerably, with Joseph and Grease following The Sound Of Music into the West End. Ms Squire said: "It brought in a lot more people, a lot of them young who weren't traditional theatregoers, which is a great thing. They have a lovely time even though it was something they hadn't thought of doing before and it's then on their agenda."
The society is holding special events to mark its centenary, including a walk of theatreland and a weekend of behind-the-scenes theatre tours.Reuse content

The Astrometric technique is unique in that it allows us to do a systematic search of each nearby star to determine whether or not it is the primary star of a planetary system. Both positive and negative results may be expressed with a well defined statistical certainty. Perhaps the best known astrometric study is that of Barnard's star by van de Kamp (1963). That "detection" was later discounted by Gatewood and Eichhorn (1973) but neither study attempted to specify what types (in mass and orbital period) of planets do not orbit Barnard's star. In the following pages we will relate the results of an ongoing study of that object, qualifying what types of bodies are unlikely to orbit Barnard's star, and showing what we believe to be the first step by step illustration of the various astrometric motions that must be analyzed in this study.

Location: Plant Science Research2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
This project will address in oat, one of our important cereals, the needs for an understanding of the molecular/structural organization of its large complex genome, means to effectively identify and manipulate more durable race non-specific quantitative resistance to its major disease, crown rust, and the development of new biotic and abiotic stress resistance germplasm in elite agronomic backgrounds through the following objectives: Objective 1: Characterize the complex segmental homoeologous structure of allohexaploid cultivated oat through molecular marker analysis of monosomic and nullisomic chromosome-deficient stocks. Objective 2: Identify and map key genes (quantitative trait loci or QTLs) for important traits, particularly race non-specific crown rust resistance, by developing and phenotyping mapping populations and employing new molecular markers (EST-SSR and DArT). Objective 3: Develop cultivated oat germplasm with introduced biotic and abiotic stress resistance and high-value traits through introgressing crown rust resistance from wild oat species, exploring heat stress and disease resistance from genes introduced by crosses with corn, and evaluating high-value trait sources through coordination of regional spring oat nurseries.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
Monosomic (single chromosome deficient) oat plants needed to complete a full series of 21 lines each deficient for a different oat chromosome will be identified cytologically and with molecular markers among derivatives of oat x corn crosses. Molecular marker linkage groups will be assigned to chromosome using these monosomic lines to develop a comprehensive genomic map for cultivated oat. The QTL identification of race non-specific (partial) crown rust in oat germplasm MN841801-1 will be enhanced with additional field and molecular marker data including the use of new DArT markers, and the effectiveness of marker-assisted selection will be tested for efficiency and effectiveness in transfer of the resistance QTLs into other oat backgrounds. New oat crown rust resistance genes will be introgressed into cultivated oat from wild oat species. Previously produced oat lines containing segments of corn chromosomes will be further developed and evaluated for possible enhanced heat tolerance and disease resistance. Coordination of cooperative regional spring oat performance nurseries will be used to identify optimal current oat genotypes for use as parents in crosses for introgressions and germplasm enhancement.
3. Progress Report
An ARS postdoctoral research associate (PD) was hired in December 2009 to pursue research on oat that was not already being completed by collaborators of the project. The focus of the PD's research is to investigate how the genome sequence of the model cool season grass Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) can be employed to advance genome analysis of oat, including assessing syntenic relationships between Brachypodium and oat, employing Brachypodium genome resources to examine gene expression in oat, and linking genetics and metabolomics in oat seeds. Three projects have been pursued in the 7 months that the PD has been with the Unit. First, using computational methods, syntenic relationships between Brachypodium, diploid oat, and hexaploid oat were assessed by comparison of the Brachypodium genome sequence to linkage maps of oat. Second, a pilot study was conducted to determine the utility of a Brachypodium microarray in monitoring gene expression in oat. RNA from seedling tissue of Brachypodium and oat was isolated and used for hybridizations to Affymetrix whole genome Brachypodium arrays, which contain all Brachypodium genes. The analysis of the data obtained is ongoing. In preparation for microarray studies of oat-crown rust interactions, a large greenhouse increase of two oat near-isogenic lines differing by the presence of a particular crown rust resistance gene was completed. Lastly, using oat linkage map data, microcolinearity between oat and Brachypodium was examined in particular areas of the oat linkage map that harbor important traits. Results will be used for future development of more molecular markers for oat and for oat gene cloning using Brachypodium as a surrogate.
4. Accomplishments
1. Comparing chromosome organization of oat and Brachypodium. Oat is an important cereal crop, but it has a large polyploid genome that poses an obstacle for many types of modern genome analysis. Brachypodium, a small weedy relative of oat, has a compact genome and its gene content and organization are similar to other small grain crops such as wheat and barley. We conducted comparative analyses of oat linkage maps and the Brachypodium genome sequence to identify homoeologous chromosomes of oat and to identify oat linkage groups that may represent different regions of the same chromosome. This research unambiguously identified several homoeologous oat linkage groups and tagged particular oat linkage groups that may be co-localized on the same oat chromosome. These results will aid oat researchers in the development of complete oat linkage maps and will lead to more efficient development of improved oat cultivars.

Particularly popular from the turn of the 19th century until the 1930s, platinum dominated the world of jewelery until its triumphal procession came to an abrupt halt during World War II: it was declared strategic material and banned from all non-military use.
As a result, the present watch is one of the exceedingly few chronograph wristwatches made by any of the world's renowned watch manufacturers during this period. The rarity of this fine collector's watch is further enhanced by the charismatic dial featuring the highly popular Breguet numerals, unusual case design and very good overall condition.
The present watch is prominently illustrated and described in The Movado History by Fritz von Osterhausen, pp. 122 & 123.

We really enjoyed our stay at your condo! Hated to leave...but gotta get back to the real world I guess...
In booking property, owner was great to work with. We were coming into town at the last minute. He was very flexible on last minute booking deals. Would definitely consider renting with owner again!
Our stay at Fisherman's Dream was good. After a rough day out and about, it had a welcoming, homey feel. Initial smell is musty and some vents made strange noises, but the overall space is roomy and comfortable.
This apartment smelt musty the moment we walked in the door. It was clean for the most part but, there was a 1/2 in. of dust on the ceiling fan blades, the chains leading to the ceiling fans(yes you read that right!) and the wooden wall in the living room. The curtains were stained and filthy and there are small holes in the wall above the futon sheet covered couches! This apartment is not cheap to rent but, is cheaply decorated and thrown together haphazardly with garage sale furniture. Unfortunately, we were the victims of criminal mischief a few hours after we arrived and thanks to a friendly neighbor, they came and knocked on the door. Our vehicle windows was busted out and they said it had happened several times in the complex & neighborhood! They fail to mention this on the rental site's page! We had no choice but to cancel our fishing guide for Sat and return home that Friday night. We didn't even sit on the beds! We only watched TV for an hour and a half so, we explained to the owner hoping to be able to get a refund for at least the cleaning fee. I mean, we didn't even open our suitcases! The least they could do was that, right? Or, offer us another stay to use later? Well, I guess not. In fact, she had the audacity to ask if we filed a police report as if she needed proof or she didn't believe us! Highly dissapointing experience all the way around so, here's a fair warning for future renters- find another property to rent from and from someone more professional!
We had a great time at Key Allegro. The appartment is well located and spacious for one big or 2 small families. We tried fishing from the dock in the back and the kids enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this rental. The appartment is well furnished and the beds are comfortables.
The only point that would need to be fixed is that there is no cushion in the 2nd bedroom to stop light from entering the room in the morning.
Great location, clean, and stocked with everything you need. I would have given it 5 Stars but he AC didn't cool well and the mattress was not comfortable making it hard to get good sleep.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location, neighborhood, access, and the fact it was very quiet, was all perfect. Very much worth the price. We look forward to renting from this owner again, as a family and business. Well worth it.

Hello NeilBlackley,
please follow the removal procedure according to this AVG Free Forum sticky post:
Are you using other protection application and firewall?
Thank you
I have tried to install AVG 2011 onto an ASUS running Vista that previously had AVG9,and it freezes about 70% of the way through. The computer completely freezes, the programme won't respond to cancel, and I can't turn the computer off. When I disconnect and reboot, I get an AVG prompt which goes into the same loop. When I try to uninstall AVG, the same thing happens. I am now left with no way of removing the programme, and no active anti-virus.
Any help desperately needed

Even in the past, Englishmen have overreacted to one-off victories and have shown reluctance to accept defeats. There is a general hearsay that while in defeat if others look for reasons, the Poms look for excuses. In the run up to the Ashes, world champions suffered few loses including the one against minnows Bangladesh that made English press go gaga. But much to their dismay, the Kangaroos are back to the winning ways.
A champion outfit that is used to the winning ways is at the receiving end when they suffer a few loses as the case of the baggygreens, lately. Ponting's men first lost a Twenty20 international to England, followed by a defeat in the hands of Somerset, as the Kangaroos failed to defend a mammoth total of 342. But, more was in store as they realized later in the NatWest series. Aussies lost to England and Bangladesh there. All these happened in week's time and the fourth estate were out with the knives saying Australia is going to lose the grip over Ashes.
But even as the press continued to write obits for the champion side of all times, the fortunes started turning in Australia's favour. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. In walked Andrew Symonds for whom life turned one full circle after a boozy night. The overnight villain became hero and he won two matches for the Aussies single-handedly. Symonds definitely seemed to have learnt a lesson or two from his mistakes which cost him dear. And he had the backing of his skipper, who himself had once suffered a similar predicament. Even otherwise, an Australian backlash was imminent. It was only a matter of when and where it happens.
As any wise souls, who are used to the glorious uncertainties of this gentlemen's game would tell you, it is too early to predict the outcome of the Ashes. English pundits are suffering on account of having jumped to conclusions. They tend to forget the fact that Australia were coming after a lay off. Though the Aussies looked a bit rusty in the beginnings stages of the NatWest Series, as the tournament progresses they are slowly getting into the groove and it won't be a surprise if Ricky Ponting holds aloft the NatWest trophy at the hallowed Lord's balcony on Saturday. Such has been their resurgence that even Pietersen, Flintoff and Harmison (the trio on whom rests the English hopes of regaining the Ashes) seem to have lost their way.
Australians have this uncanny habit of bouncing back in roaring style after initial blows. The same happened with Mark Taylor and later with Steve Waugh who conquered Ashes after similar unimpressive beginnings to their campaigns. So, in all likelihood, Ricky Ponting looks set to emulate his predecessors from the way things have gone so far and it looks rather unlikely for the Poms to succeed in preventing the 'Awesome Aussies' from defending the Ashes title for a record 10th time.
Australia is one those sides who live on consistency. They never sit on past laurels. Now the British press might be gunning for Shane Warne who has spilt up with his wife. Even if it affects his performance, Aussies will have someone else to fit into his shoes, like what Brad Hogg did in the World Cup 2003. They always have found the right man for the occasion.
The English camp is a study in contrast. They are beseted with problems of a different kind. From the injury scare of skipper Vaughan to their crisis man Thorpe's imminent retirement. Strike force Steve Harmison is yet to regain that form and fitness that saw him being catapulted to the top. And these days, Kevin Pietersen who hopes to get his first Test cap in the Ashes seems to be spending more time on his hair than on his willow. Hope he doesn't go the James Anderson way who promised much but failed to deliver.
So the countdown has started and the battle lines have been drawn for the Ashes. Watch out for some interesting tussle ahead. The Matthew Hayden-Simon Jones face-off in the recently held Edgbaston ODI has virtually set the tone for the Ashes series. Englishmen should bear in mind the fact that one odd victory is no recipe for success. And for the Australians, the defeat against Bangladesh has been a real wake-up call.

What's a bigger baseball sin: A take-out slide of a pitcher covering home plate on a wild pitch, or said pitcher inciting a brawl by going after the baserunner?
The mayhem occurred in the ninth inning of a Class AA game between the Mississippi Braves (Atlanta Braves affiliate) and the Mobile Baybears (Arizona Diamondbacks).
Braves pitcher Michael Tarsi threw a wild pitch and ran to cover home as the Baybears' Rossmel Perez ran down the baseline. Perez slid into the plate and took out Tarsi. Tarsi got up and went after Perez. The umpire tried to separate the two, but Braves catcher Christian Bethancourt came out of nowhere and leveled Perez.
Chaos ensued.
Bethancourt, Perez, Braves third baseman Alden Carrithers and Mobile manager Turner Ward were all ejected from the game.
Somehow, Tarsi was remained in the game, which ended three pitches later. The Braves won 7-2.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

During September and October, students of Austin School of Film and HIVE Arts Collective shot, hand-processed, telecined, and edited their own Super 8mm films. I was inspired to make my first zombie film, starring my good friend Rachael, my partner Victor, my dad, and my toddler daughter, as well as about 15 awesome local Pflugerville residents who came out and gave it their all as our horde of zombies. The result, a film called "Zombie Daze," premieres online for the first time today! It premiered at the Austin School of Film Friday night to a fun, enthusiastic crowd.

A major factor that determines the success of your wedding is the entertainment. Get this right and you can send your guests home glowing, with unforgettable memories of the fun and excitement! While the conventional disco and wedding bands are classics, don't feel they are a necessity. Rules are made to be broken and throwing some creativity into the mix can make your special day, so much more special. After all, the wildest ideas are often the most fun!
Here some carefully selected entertainment ideas that your guests will love:
Bobbing apples with prizes
Evoke the child in everyone with fun games such as bobbing apples. Alternatively, set up a beer pong table or flip cup (they don't have to involve alcohol). After everyone is settled, and a few drinks, it might be an idea to set up small teams for those wanting to take part. Prizes for the winners!
Set up a beer bar
Get hold of a few kegs of beer, cider and ale, so guests can grab a pitcher and get stuck in. The men will appreciate this one, I'm sure. Real wooden kegs will add a fantastic rustic quality to your theme, not to mention getting kegs can actually work out cheaper too, so you can save your pennies for even more fun activities.
Create a cozy corner
For those guests that want some space or to relax in the evening, or for couples that want sneak off for a few moments of privacy, set up a little cozy corner. If it's a warm night, set it up outside below the stars. A couple of hammocks, cushions, bean bags, candles in jars, and gentle music on a speaker to set the mood. Add some fairy lights to really set the scene for when it gets dark.
Appetizers & Canapés
There are literally thousands of ideas for appetizers and canapés to treat your guests with. Also, be sure you don't forget the drinks; send out some waiters with pitchers of freshly made lemonade, Pimms with fruit, and the canapés of your choice.
Photo booth
To create long lasting memories of the evening for you and your friends, it's a fun idea to set up a photo booth with a box of dressing up clothes. Your guests can even take the pictures home, and enjoy the memories. An alternative to this, is to hire a quick-drawing sketch artist, that can sketch pictures of your guests throughout the evening.
Enlist your grandmas to be your flower girls
To add some fun and humor into your wedding, why not ask your grandmas to be the flower girls? Ideas like this will create a fun and relaxed atmosphere for your guests to feel more at ease and make your grandma feel special too. Consider having them taken to get their hair done with you before the ceremony. If you haven't got to that part yet, here is everything you need to know about bridal hair.
Historical Feasts
The food is a major part of the wedding success. Why not make this also part of the entertainment? For a fun and romantic wedding why not play with a historical theme, such as a medieval feast. Hire some costumes and props, such as swords and knight's helmets to hand to the guests as they come in. Sit your guests around one or two long wooden tables in a beautiful stone floored barn. The tables can be laid with metal plates, goblets, fruits, candles with wine and mead, to set the atmosphere. To really set the scene a few simple sides and vegetables will make a fantastic accompaniment to a delicious "do it yourself" hog roast, roasted traditionally over coals and flames. This will provide a truly special wedding like no other. You can set a spit roast up yourself, or even hire someone to set it all up for you.
Wake your guests up with fun coffees
After the meal, your guests may be feeling a little stuffed and lethargic. To reset a lively mood, it's your responsibility to wake everyone one up and get the party started. Create a coffee menu with fun names and ideas that people just can't resist. Some of our favorite examples "The Dirty Harry" for a double shot mocha with cream!
Old fashion sweets table
A sweets table is always fun. Adults and kids alike love to have a table with lots of old fashioned jars of sweets to help themselves to. It's a cheap and fun way to add to the atmosphere of the wedding. To add to the fun, why not set up–at a safe distance–a giant Jenga game?
Make sure the little ones are happy! Provide lots of crayon and paper for them. If it's outside where there is a lot of stone flooring, chalks are also fun and wash away in the rain. Don't be surprised if you see mom and dad getting in on the coloring action.
Ball Pit/Bouncy Castle
Hire a bouncy castle or a ball pit for the kids. This is very exciting for kid of all ages, where I'm sure later on in the evening after a few drinks some of the adults with also be bringing out their inner child.
Water slide
If it's likely for hot weather (and when isn't it in Texas?) why not consider setting up a water slide for the kids, especially for weekend weddings. It's great fun, and adds a spark of excitement into the wedding. Remember to warn the parents beforehand so that everyone brings along swimwear. It may also be an idea to bring a few precautionary spare T-shirts and shorts so no guests are left wet and cold.
Dance instructor
Lots of people find dancing embarrassing and awkward because they just don't know what to do on the dance floor. To get people dancing, hire a dance instructor to get as many people up and dancing. Teach some easy and fun dance moves, such as salsa.
After everyone is feeling relaxed why not have a few rounds of karaoke to spark up some fun! This doesn't have to be done one at a time, choose a few classics to sing from, and get the whole crowd singing along. Get any of the little ones involved that would like to sing to lighten the mood and get everyone interacting.
Cocktail hour
Cocktails are trendy and a must have at your wedding. Instead of just offering a few cosmopolitans, hire a couple of cocktail experts to make some fun and delicious drinks for the guests. An added section of whisky and cigars for the men certainly wouldn't go unrecognized. Why not set up a casino table as well?
Petals for confetti
For a more tasteful send off, why not give flower petals to the guests as confetti. It's more environmentally friendly, less messy, and the sweet fragrance of flowers will fill the air, adding to the atmosphere.
Finishing with a bang!
Finish the wedding reception by handing out a few sparklers, and setting off a mini fireworks display. This is a nice visually appealing, fun and romantic way to finish the wedding. Even a small one can make a big impression, and is a nice conclusion to a wonderful day.
Party bag hangover kit
After such a fantastic wedding, I think it's safe to say more than a few of your guests are going to be waking up with a hangover. Why not give little party bag hangover kits for your guests, filled with vitamin drinks, green tea, fruit, a mini hangover cure guide on a piece of card, along with a few other bits and bobs.
You don't have to stop here, the more creative you are, the more fun you and your guests will have. Have a brainstorming session with a couple of your friends, you will be amazed what you might come up with.Read More

NBA: Denver pulls first win of series 104-101 to go down 3-1
Austin Tyler
Apr 27, 2011 in
- The Thunder had sweep on their mind, but the Nuggets played a great team game to pull the win off. Denver wanted to win one for their fans, and gave them a big one with their 104-101 victory over the Thunder.
Denver Nuggets
(50-32) hosted the
Oklahoma City Thunder
(55-27) for the possible last game of the season in the Pepsi Center. The Thunder won the last game with Serge Ibaka, Kevin Durant, and Russell Westbrook having big games. The Nuggets won this game with a great team effort and some big late shots.
The game started off close till the Nuggets took a five-point lead with a 6-0 spurt to take a 10-5 lead. The Nuggets held their lead as Kenyon Martin made a jumper and Nene made a layup to give the Nuggets a 15-9 lead. Thabo Sefolosha made a three-pointer to get the Thunder within three.
Kevin Durant got the Thunder within one when he made a pair of free-throws to make it 15-14, but Raymond Felton made a three-pointer to push their lead back to four. Kevin Durant made a three-pointer of his own to get the Thunder within one 20-19. J.R. Smith made a jumper with .37 seconds left to give the Nuggets a 26-20 lead to end the quarter.
James Harden got the Thunder within three when he made a three-pointer to open the second quarter. J.R. Smith made a jumper and Al Harington made a pair of free-throws to give the Nuggets a 30-24 lead. Eric Maynor made a jumper and Russell Westbrook made a jumper to give the Thunder a 32-31 lead.
Ty Lawson gave the Nuggets a two point lead with a three-pointer, but a Nick Collison jumper made a jumper to tie the game up at 34 points apiece. The Thunder had a 41-38 lead and Ty Lawson made a layup to get the Nuggets within one. Denver had a 45-42 lead, but the Nuggets scored the next three-points to go into halftime tied at 45 points.
OKC had a 51-47 lead to start the third quarter, and Danilo Gallinari made a three-pointer to get the Nuggets within one. The Thunder and Nuggets tied things up at 55 points apiece with a Gallinari free-throw. Kevin Durant made a three-pointer to give the Thunder a 58-55 lead.

Danilo Gallinari made a three-pointer with 3:30 left in the period to give the Nuggets a 65-64 lead. The Thunder bounced back to take a 69-67 lead off a Nick Collison three-point play. J.R. Smith made a three-pointer with .35 seconds left to take a 71-69 lead into final period.
The Nuggets went on a 7-0 run to take a 78-69 lead early in the fourth quarter. The Nuggets took a nine-point lead with a J.R. Smith three-pointer with 7:11 left in the game.

Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science
Category: E-Book
Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science by Scott A. Elias
English | 2006 | ISBN: 044451919X | 3576 pages | PDF | 215 MB
The quaternary sciences constitute a dynamic, multidisciplinary field of research that has been growing in scientific and societal importance in recent years. This branch of the Earth sciences links ancient prehistory to modern environments. Quaternary terrestrial sediments contain the fossil remains of existing species of flora and fauna, and their immediate predecessors. Quaternary science plays an integral part in such important issues for modern society as groundwater resources and contamination, sea level change, geologic hazards (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis), and soil erosion.
With over 360 articles and 2,600 pages, many in full-color, the Encyclopedia of Quaternary Science provides broad ranging, up-to-date articles on all of the major topics in the field. Written by a team of leading experts and under the guidance of an international editorial board, the articles are at a level that allows undergraduate students to understand the material, while providing active researchers with the latest information in the field.

Virtual fax, also known as Fax-over-IP or FoIP, automatically converts incoming faxes into PDF files and sends it to your email account. Furthermore, a fax can be sent by simply sending an email to your virtual fax.
Virtual fax utilizes T38 and requires a T38 capable VoIP Gateway as well as a T38 capable fax machine, fax card or fax software. Fax server software that supports T38, making unified communication available with a variety of features such as fax-to-email. Fax-to-email sends the fax directly through a VoIP gateway and converts it into an email, and vice versa. The fax-to-email feature does not require any additional fax hardware but your email address.
Unified communication (UC) is often also referred to as real-time communication (RTC). It describes the integration of real-time enterprise communication services such as instant messaging, presence information, IP telephony, mobility features including extension mobility and single number reach, conference calls, fixed-mobile convergence (FMC), desktop and data sharing, call control and speech recognition with non-real-time communication services such as unified messaging (integrated voicemail, email, SMS and fax). Simplified, unified communication allows you to send a message on one medium, and have this message received on another medium.
As fax data can not be sent through an IT network in the same way as voice communications, the T38 protocol describes how to do this. T38 is described in RFC 3362. It basically converts a fax to an image and sends it to another T38 fax device where it is converted back into an analog fax signal. T38 is supported by most VoIP Gateways and analog telephone adapters (ATAs).

Cute little storage boxes with punch holes to make your own design!
Clutterbugs's recommendation
I love that you can "punch" out your own labels! What a fun way to mark what's inside... Note: I clicked on the "buy" button, and I don't think Design W/in Reach carries them anymore. Here's the homepage for the MeBox: http://www.mebox.co.uk/ As you can see, it's based in the UK...not sure where you can buy in the US?

Good day for a hangin'...Justice is color-blind in the courtroom of Samuel P. Barstall, and sentencing three gunslingers to swing for the murder of an Indian squaw is his way of proving it.

To stop the slaughter, Remington sends his coolest heads--the Tracker and the Icy Scotsman. But even these two falter when they find the crimson trail leading to the graveyard of good men called...Murderer's Rocks!
