Some then disappeared from the music scene, lost in an '80s "Where Are They Now?" file until 1993 when he released Living Your Life. Contains the top 20 hit 'Imagination'

If you live in China, your internet experience is crap unless you have a proxy program.
Anyways, some parts of the world still use a 56k dial up modem.
So there, you probably will go crazy while waiting for a picture to load on a 56k phone connection.

Respected Friend The Countess of Huntington, The frequent mention which I of thy affectionate Labour for the growth and prosperity of Truth in the World, (more specifically from my Friend George Whitefield deceased) has for a long time past, begot a desire in me to Salute thee by a few lines; but under an humbling force of unworthiness and poverty of mind, and spirit, I have hitherto been let; but now a good opportunity offering by means of my Friend William Dillwyn, who is going to your parts, and expects to have the pleasure of seeing thee, I find my mind encouraged to write. I cannot say much of the prosperity of Truth in these parts, many are the Calls, both immediately and instrumentally, but seeing is the drought of the world and the flesh , particualrly un the Day of ease and security, yet some, I trust are looking to thee God of all Strength and Comfort, with earnest Supplication, that the work may go forward, as well in themselves as in others. [?] of the many Snares and Temptations, which are peculiar to this part of the World, there are none that more Sensibly impedes the growth of Truth and has a greater tendency to harden the heart against impressions of Grace, than the practice of Slavery; on this most interesting Subject permit me to [crave?] the most serious attention, the [lounging?] the unhappy Negroes from their Native Country and subjecting them to a state of Slavery; and that generally generally , a cruel very cruel Slavery; besides as my Friend George Whitefield well remarks, in his printed Letter the the Inhabitants of Maryland and Virginia and the Carolinas "the encouragement which is thereby given to the Nations from whom the Negroes are brought to beat perpetual War with eachother," and it may with Truth be added that as dreadful as the Slavery now carried on, in our colonies, is to the miserable subjects thereof, yet greater, far greater, in effect, is its banefull influence on their possessors, and their unhappy offspring; these being hereby from their childhod, nurtured in such corrupting [Lanes?] and Practices, as naturally begets in them habits of Idleness, Pride, Cruelty, and Laciviousness; each a train of other Evils, which bear Sway and predominate in the minds, as age comes on, to the introduction of a much worse kind of Barbarity, share that which our Northern Ancestors were under, before they became acquainted with Christianity. With the poor Negroes the evil of their suffereings will end with the Life, and the Merciful

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Brain tumorBrain tumorThis shows a tumor that likely began in the brain cells. As the tumor grows, it creates pressure on and changes the function of surrounding brain tissue, which causes signs and symptoms, such as headaches, nausea and balance problems. Mayo Clinic's brain tumor experts provide comprehensive care for more than 5,000 adults and children with common or rare brain tumors each year. A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in or close to your brain, which can be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). Brain tumors can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or cancer can begin in other parts of your body and spread to your brain (secondary, or metastatic, brain tumors). How quickly a brain tumor grows can vary greatly. The growth rate as well as location of a brain tumor determines how it will affect the function of your nervous system. Mayo Clinic experts have significant experience and expertise treating a wide range of brain tumors, including: Malignant glioma cellsMalignant glioma cellsConfocal microscopic image of malignant glioma cells Gliomas. These tumors begin in the brain or spinal cord. Mayo Clinic experts treat all types of gliomas, including astrocytomas, ependymomas, glioblastomas, oligoastrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. Metastases. These are malignant tumors that have spread to the brain from cancers elsewhere in the body. Meningiomas. Meningiomas are tumors that arise from the membranes that surround your brain and spinal cord (meninges). Most meningiomas are noncancerous. Acoustic neuroma (schwannoma)Acoustic neuroma (schwannoma)An acoustic neuroma (schwannoma) is a benign tumor that develops on the balance and hearing nerves leading from your inner ear to the brain. These nerves are twined together to form the vestibulocochlear nerve (eighth cranial nerve). The pressure on the nerve from the tumor may cause hearing loss and imbalance. Acoustic neuromas (schwannomas). These are benign tumors that develops on the balance and hearing nerves leading from your inner ear to your brain. Pituitary adenomas. These are mostly benign tumors that develop in the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. These tumors can affect pituitary hormones with effects throughout the body. Medulloblastomas. These are the most common cancerous brain tumors in children. A medulloblastoma starts in the lower back part of the brain and tends to spread through spinal fluid. These tumors are less common in adults, but they do occur. PNETs. Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are rare, cancerous tumors that start in embryonic (fetal) cells in the brain. They can occur anywhere in the brain. Germ cell tumors. Germ cell tumors may develop during childhood where the testicles or ovaries will form. But sometimes germ cell tumors move to other parts of the body, such as the brain. Craniopharyngiomas. These rare, noncancerous tumors start near the brain's pituitary gland, which secretes hormones that control many body functions. As the craniopharyngioma slowly grows, it can affect the pituitary gland and other structures near the brain. Your Mayo Clinic care team Mayo Clinic's world-renowned brain tumor teams include neuroradiologists, neuropathologists, neurosurgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, neurologists, rehabilitation specialists and other professionals who work together to provide exactly the care you need. Having all of this subspecialized expertise in a single place, focused on you, means that you're not just getting one opinion — your care is discussed among the team, your test results are available quickly, appointments are scheduled in coordination, and the most highly specialized brain tumor experts in the world are all working together to determine what's best for you. What might take months to accomplish elsewhere can typically be done in only a matter of days at Mayo Clinic. Brain tumor team at Mayo Clinic Advanced diagnosis and treatment Mayo Clinic patients have access to the latest imaging and diagnostic tools available, and there's even a long history of Mayo Clinic scientists developing those cutting-edge technologies for patient care. With state-of-the-art research and laboratory facilities, Mayo Clinic experts are constantly seeking new medical knowledge and individual-driven innovations for people with brain tumors, including a variety of clinical trials and other studies of tumor biology, neuropathology and epidemiology that may be available to you. Brain tumor treatment options depend on the type of brain tumor you have, as well as its size and location. If surgery is the most appropriate treatment, you want to be in the hands of experienced surgeons who perform these operations frequently. Neurosurgery is among the most complex of the surgical disciplines. Mayo Clinic neurosurgeons perform more than 1,000 brain tumor surgeries each year using the latest technological advances available to them, including computer-assisted brain surgery, intraoperative MRI, awake brain surgery and lasers. Mayo Clinic is launching a Proton Beam Therapy Program, opening in summer 2015 in Minnesota and 2016 in Arizona. Unlike most others in the United States, Mayo Clinic's proton beam will feature intensity-modulated proton beam therapy exclusively. This represents an advance over traditional radiotherapy because the radiation beam is targeted only to the tumor, better sparing surrounding healthy tissue from harm. Nationally recognized expertise Mayo Clinic Cancer Center meets strict standards for a National Cancer Institute comprehensive cancer center, recognizing scientific excellence and a multispecialty approach focused on cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. It is one of only four U.S. cancer centers to receive a National Cancer Institute-sponsored Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant for brain cancer research. Mayo Clinic is also part of the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, a group of scientists throughout the U.S. and Canada who work together to conduct clinical trials and reduce the impact of cancer. Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, ranks No. 1 for neurology and neurosurgery in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona, is ranked among the Best Hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery, and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, is ranked high performing for neurology and neurosurgery by U.S. News & World Report. Mayo Clinic also ranks among the Best Children's Hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery.

What's not to like about a Twitter infographic? Mashable has created a colourful and interesting 'A visual history of Twitter', infographic, telling us the story far from the world's favourite microblogging service. It includes highlights from various world events and the impact Twitter has experienced as a result of them, or even creating them.
The Twitter infographic chronicles its rise since inception in the summer of 2006, up until August 2011 and gives us some insight to how, although not the first, it has become the microblogging market leader.
Nicelely balanced with fun statistics, the Twitter business model, Twitter facts, the most followed, most influential content creators and how the microblogging service strives to turn a profit. With $1.65 billion of funding invested so far and 1 billion Tweets posted every five days, amassing 200 million registered users, it's a force to be reckoned with.
But, what does the future hold, especially as the founders look to other pursuits?

Green Maya Recycled Tumbler, Set of 2
Some of these cracked after taking them out of the dishwasher (when the cooled).
One cracked after already cooling and after I put it in the cabinet.
One cracked in two places after putting ice in it (in my hand).
The are beautiful, but a woman who blows glass told me that they were not treated properly and that the glass is stressed (permanently).
By the way, I had both green and teal glasses--and some of each broke.
September 3, 2013
Very poor quality
These glasses look very nice but the quality is horrible. Out of four I ordered two have already cracked and broken along the base internally. Not something I would recommend.
May 8, 2013
These glasses crack
I bought 8 of these and have 1 left. All of them cracked. 3 had the bottom just crack off after being put in the dishwasher. They are gorgeous but maybe since they're hand made they are just incredibly sensitive.

Nike Women's Color Block Power Back Tank Swimsuit
Love it. Just started training again and its perfect. Got a size up so it wouldn't be to tight.
April 4, 2014
Faded color after 5 times swimming.
I swim 30 minutes every other day and the chlorine in the pool ruin all my swimsuit quick and badly. When I saw " Chlorine-resistant fabric to prevent fading " on this one, I was so happy. I bought this swimsuit in blue/yellow color at last December 28th. Today the blue color is faded.
However, it fits better and are more comfortable than Adidas. I recommend this for the fit, not for chlorine-resistant.

My Fave Swimsuit
I always buy this swimsuit. The minute I dove into the water, everything about it felt right. The size, the color, the way it glided through the water. ^^ it's the perfect swimsuit. It's not too showy either, and the straps don't just snap off. However, after a lot of use, it starts wearing out and instead of being slick as it usually is, it become cottony.

Nike Women's Color Block Power Back Tank Swimsuit
Love the suit. Very comfortable and nice looking. Too new to comment on wear against the chlorine in the lap pool I swim in.
January 6, 2014
'Seams' there is an issure
I like this suit but the seams are uncomfortable on the breasts.
I will stick to the plain suit in the future.
December 30, 2013
Works for me
Comfortable fits well on a 52 year old. I buy several at a time.
November 9, 2013
Excellent quality and price
I've worn Nike competition suits for many years. I switched from Speedo because I came to prefer the cut of the Nike suits. For years I only wore solid (navy or black) Nikes and always bought a size 36 (women's US size). This color block suit, also a size 36. is a bit too large. Perhaps it is in the length of the suit. It kind of gaps at the neckline and under the arms and there is some looseness in the seat. I am really small (5'4", 97 pounds) and I thought this size 36 would be fine, like the solid suits. I wear it but it feels like it's floating around on me in the water... annoying. Nevertheless, because of the Nike quality and sharp styling I bought a second, different color block suit in a size 34. I hope that does the trick!
March 22, 2013
Good swim suit
Although I don't think any suit really holds up well to chlorine water I do love this suit. I've had several of these and keep coming back to them. This particular one fits well and it is sized correctly. I do reccommend this suit

The news may sound good, it's all smoke and mirrors.

quote: Yes. But that isn't the sole reason that transportation has become more expensive, which is the excuse you're trying to make for your Messiah.
quote: That clearly went over your head. You libs claimed the higher gas prices during Bush's term were the result of his being in the pocket of Big Oil. I was pointing out that if you were consistent, you couldn't use higher gas prices as an excuse after years of claiming it was the President's fault.
quote:Oh, cars have certainly gotten more expensive. And I disagree with Obama on these ridiculous MPG initiatives because they'll just make new cars that much more expensive.

Gigantism is abnormal growth due to an excess of growth hormone during childhood.
Giantism; Pituitary giant
The most common cause of too much growth hormone release is a noncancerous (benign) tumor of the pituitary gland. Other causes include:
If excess growth hormone occurs after normal bone growth has stopped, the condition is known as acromegaly .
Gigantism is very rare.
The child will grow in height, as well as in the muscles and organs. This excessive growth makes the child extremely large for his or her age.
Other symptoms include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about the child's symptoms.
Laboratory tests that may be ordered include:
Imaging tests, such as CT or MRI scan of the head, also may be ordered to check for a pituitary tumor .
For pituitary tumors with well-defined borders, surgery can cure many cases.
When surgery cannot completely remove the tumor, medicines are used to block or reduce growth hormone release.
Pituitary surgery is usually successful in limiting growth hormone production.
Early treatment can reverse many of the changes caused by growth hormone excess.
Surgery may lead to low levels of other pituitary hormones, which can cause:
Call your health care provider if your child has signs of excessive growth.

SRAM X.7 Low Clamp Front Derailleur 2012
The X.7 promises performance and durability with the distinctive SRAM shifting prowess.
The 1:1 actuation is simply superior. The very nature of its design makes it this way. For every 1 unit of cable pulled or released, the derailleur moves the same amount. From the mud infested Cross-Country of the Sea Otter Classic, to the rocks and roots of a Fort William World Cup Downhill the 1:1 actuation stays precise and fluid. 1:1 Actuation precision is why you find SRAM on the elite bikes from cross-country flyers to full gravity bombers.
SRAM's Direct Route Technology has had them singing the praises of this technology for years. Cut out the middleman, go direct, and speak to the actuation mechanism itself. Direct route technology is light, responsive, precise and impervious to cable housing damage. We have simply reduced the friction by routing the cable directly to the actuation mechanism and less effort means you save the extra push for your ride.

T3 Featherweight Journey Travel Hair Dryer
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The T3 Featherweight Journey Travel Hair Dryer was fairly quiet in GHRI tests and consumer testers thought it made their hair shinier and smoother; unfortunately there's not much else to recommend this pricey model. It was among the slowest to dry hair in our lab evaluation and our volunteers complained that the nozzle's odd angle made it uncomfortable to hold. It was also among the heaviest blow dryers in the bunch.

The Premier Dining option is available on most trains for those who have a special occasion to celebrate or just wish to treat themselves to an unforgettable dining experience.
UK tours are available for a few days or more than a week in duration. There is no better way to explore our island's countryside than from the comfort of a railway carriage. Railways often follow routes that provide unrivalled scenery that cannot be viewed in any other way. Travel is normally in daylight with overnight accommodation in quality hotels.
Our tours to Europe cover many of the countries of mainland Europe including Scandinavia. Increasingly, some of these tours make use of Eurostar trains to travel from England through the Channel Tunnel, an experience in itself. Many tours make use of specially chartered trains hauled by steam locomotives. Wherever possible, we make the most of photographic and filming opportunities so that tour participants can capture unique images of their rail tour.
World Tours visit countries of the world where travel by train provides opportunities to see sights and visit places not often included in the tour itineraries of others. History, culture, adventure, a plethora of geographical features, social customs and gastronomic delights await those who join our Worldwide tours. Travel by train, often specially chartered and hauled by a steam locomotive, is the means by which we deliver experiences not to be missed and sometimes never to be repeated.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Cold dip will help NHSPCA
Sunday, February 17, 2013
STRATHAM — A group of about 50 people plunged into the cold Atlantic Ocean on Saturday to benefit animals seeking a home.
"I think if your friends see you do it, and see that you can live through it, they'll do it too," she said. For 62-year-old Phil Moriarty, of Nashua, plunging into the cold ocean is nothing unusual. Moriarty has been participating in the Doggie Paddle Plunge for the past two years, and previously has done the Penguin Plunge at Hampton Beach for eight years in a row. Moriarty said that "bragging rights" is one of the reasons he participates, but he also enjoys the challenge. "This is a normal thing for Uncle Phil," said Moriarty. "It's not as bad as people think it is." Ben Faxon, 25, of Raymond, plunged into the ocean with the words "Doggie Paddle Plunge 2013" written in permanent marker on his chest, with a written list of his sponsors on his back. Faxon stayed under water for about two seconds after plunging in, and then came running outside toward the warmth.
Ryan said that with animals staying longer periods at the SPCA shelter than previously, the funding that comes from events like the Doggie Paddle Plunge helps volunteers feed and care for the pets. NHSPCA in Stratham, she said, takes care of 2,500 to 3,000 animals each year. For the second year in a row, the Doggie Paddle Plunge was sponsored by the Jackson Lewis law firm. Debra Ford, managing partner, said she hopes her firm will become an annual sponsor. Ford said NHSPCA is a great organization and their work "just warms your heart." Ford also participated in the plunge, and said the 40-degree water temperature didn't feel that cold compared to the air when she got out. |

Reducing Waste Lesson Plan: Changing Daily Habits
In this lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 6-12, students use BrainPOP resources to explore the importance of reducing waste and taking care of the environment. Students will practice ways to reduce waste in the classroom and at home, then create and reflect on daily habits that demonstrate increased environmental awareness.
Students will:
- Understand the importance of taking care of the environment
- Practice ways to reduce waste in the classroom and at home
- Become more environmentally aware in their daily activities
- Paper
- Pencils
- Computers with headphones or speakers
- Optional: interactive whiteboard
- Large zip-top plastic bags
- Scale
- Chart paper
- Printouts and copies of the following BrainPOP worksheets and activities: Vocabulary sheet, Brainstorming Web, Experiment, Letter to Tim and Moby
reduce; reuse; recycle; conserve; conservation; environment; compost; landfill; pulp; sorting; contaminate; pollution; waste; groundwater; natural resources
Preview the movies and related features from the Recycling movie. Think about your students' abilities and consider which features are most appropriate for the individuals in your class. Print the related worksheets (listed above) and copy as needed. Prepare a class graph to keep track of the waste collection over the course of several weeks.Lesson Procedure:
- Kick off your Recycling unit by having students collect and keep their garbage for a day. You may want to use clear zip-top bags so that students can see the items they have collected over the course of a day. As a math connection students should weigh their bags. Challenge the class to estimate and then figure out the actual total weight of the garbage in the class for the day.
- Ask your students where they think all this waste ends up? You can project or print the Brainstorming Web graphic organizer to keep track of their answers.
- Before watching the movie, have your students take the related quiz as a form of pre-assessment. Remember that you can print these quizzes or use the computer for online versions.
- Hand out the blank Vocabulary Activity Sheet to students before watching the movie. Instead, you may want to project the list on the interactive whiteboard and preview the words with your students. Remember that you can type directly onto the Activity Sheet!
- Screen the movie for your class. Remember to pause several times during the movie for discussion. You may want to show the movie a couple of times. The first time students might just watch, and the second time they might watch, take notes on the Vocabulary Activity Sheet, and discuss the concepts.
- Tell your class that you are challenging them to reduce the total classroom waste by at least 50%. Hand out the printout of a Dear Tim and Moby letter and ask students to write at least 4 ways they plan to reduce the waste they produce in a given day. Then gather the group to share their ideas.
- Over the following weeks, students can create recycling bins for the classroom and lunchroom and gather recyclables and bring them to a local recycling center. They can buy and use less packaging in their lunches, begin to use scrap paper for class work, sharpen pencils less frequently, etc. They will surely think of tons of ways to reduce waste!
- As students continue to reduce, reuse, and recycle their waste, they should continue to track how much waste they generate in a single day. It might be easiest to record the total class waste once or twice each week on a class graph, throughout the unit, so students don't have to carry their garbage around all day every day!
- As a related activity, students can inspire the entire school to reduce their waste as well. Print or project the Graphs, Stats, & Numbers feature from the FYI section of the BrainPOP's Recycling movie. Students can work in pairs to depict the statistics using pie charts or other means of representation to make environmental "factoid" posters to hang around the school.
- When the class has reached the goal of producing 50% of their waste, they can have an Earth Day film festival to celebrate in the classroom or school-wide. They may want to invite friends and family members to celebrate with them so they can share what they have learned and pass along conservation tips. You can print out Moby movie tickets, have students on special panel discussions, and invite student experts to speak before/after the BrainPOP movie they are an expert in, as well as lead guests through interactive activities, role playing, and games. Throw in some popcorn and enjoy!
Extension Activity:
This lesson relies heavily on the BrainPOP movie on Recycling but there are numerous movies on the site that go into the subjects of conservation, environmental awareness and ecology. For older students you may want to assign various movies (and related features) to pairs or groups of students and then ask them to present what they learned to the class. Remember that you can differentiate easily by having pairs of students watch the same movie, but assigning more or less complex features to the individuals depending on their abilities.Print or project the Experiment and assign small groups to create their own "landfills" either in the classroom or at home. As an extension of this activity you can have your students create a compost to produce soil for a school garden!
