One afternoon we accidentally stumbled upon what was, without a doubt, one of the prettiest spots in all of Florida!
The Islamorada Fish Company, a restaurant and fish market where we unassumingly went for a casual lunch, turned out to be an absolutely breathtaking venue built on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in the Florida Keys. The food was to-die-for, the service was fantastic, but the sheer magic of the location was what took my breath away.
I always get nervous when brides book destination weddings based on advertising photos they've seen of the venue, because all too often, the pictures have been digitally enhanced to portray an image completely different from the reality. But here is a photo I took at the IFC with my iPhone (again, because I wasn't expected the venue to be anything special, I didn't even bring my camera!)
Located just an hour and a half from the Miami international airport, and right on the Oversees Highway in the Florida Keys, Islamorada is a perfectly accessible and very affordable destination spot for an intimate destination wedding. With a wide variety of accommodations available within a short distance, and dozens of tourist activities to entertain guests within walking distance, this spot will definitely be high up on my list of pseudo-destination referral spots from now on.

A Hamburg woman has filed papers in State Supreme Court to remove a town councilman from office.
Elizabeth Reszka – whose husband is a leader with the town Republican committee – accuses Joseph Collins, the lone Town Board Democrat entering his fourth year as a councilman, of breaching his duties to the town to benefit his private law firm.
"It has to be brought to light," she said. "It's just not fair. The politicians should be held accountable for what they do."
She also said defending lawsuits Collins has brought has cost the town $60,000 and is partially responsible for an increase in taxes this year.
"Enough is enough," Reszka said in a news conference conducted in the lobby of Hamburg Town Hall as town employees, including the supervisor and police chief, walked nearby. "It's not fair to the taxpayers to constantly have to pay extra taxes and everything else because he's not following the rules."
Collins declined to comment on the suit, but several of the claims included in it have been raised previously, and he has denied them.
Reszka accused Collins of:
• Representing clients in Town Court after being advised it would be a conflict of interest, and continuing to engage in the practice of law before the town or against the town.
• Directing an employee to post fliers in town buildings advertising his legal practice in an attempt to solicit clients.
• Giving copies of confidential correspondence to a subject of an investigation.
• Emailing town employees and telling them the town was trying to modify the terms of employment, which the lawsuit claims was inaccurate.
• Being found guilty of violating the town's code of ethics for failing to disclose a conflict of interest.
Collins, the only Democratic councilman, is no stranger to controversy.
In November, Reszka accused him of threatening her during a Town Board meeting Oct. 8 in an attempt to pressure her husband, Peter R. Reszka, who is chairman of the town Planning Board and treasurer of the Hamburg Republican Committee.
Board members voted 2-1 last month to censure him for the second time, declaring that he violated the town's anti-harassment policy and the "confidential nature of executive session." The board also found him guilty in December 2010 of ethics charges and harassing an employee, and censured him. Both were party-line votes.
Reszka denied party politics have played a part in her decision to file the legal action.
"Elizabeth and other citizens have recognized a pattern of conduct by Mr. Collins that is not in the best interests of the Town of Hamburg," said Reszka's attorney, Steven M. Cohen.
Cohen said there are four others who support her suit, but do not want to come forward publicly for fear of retaliation. Reszka said they are not public officials but some have government jobs.
Reszka gave more than $400 to the campaign of Supervisor Steven J. Walters last year, and $345 in 2011, according to state Board of Elections records.
"Why would it be [political]? It has nothing to do with politics, it has to do with dollars and cents," she said, referring to the town money spent on legal issues involving Collins.
Collins has asked the town to defend him. Supervisor Steven J. Walters said that determination has not yet been made. He said the town attorney will make a recommendation on the issue. In fairness to Collins, Walters said, the board should make the decision soon.

cam44:wut inn thee fawk r u tokking abowt?
HunterCallahan:I dont think textures effect eso compadability
I have done three mod for TAD. They are all ESO friendly, so no OOS.
UI mod for TAD
It combines xentelian's and Ekanta's UI mods.
I added some own things too.
Hotkey mod for TAD
It makes one hotkey set work better for all nations.
ESO friendly Bugfixes
There are bugs in AoE3, but only some of them can be fixed to work in ESO.
Fixes that I made are more like corrections than bugfixes.
Previously following things had no sound or wrong sound:
Chinese, Japanese and Indian surgeon now got british surgeon sound. (used to have no sound)
Iroquois discovery travois now got normal travois sound. (used to have no sound)
Sufi Pilgrimage goat now got normal Goat sound. (used to have no sound)
Consulate Portuguese Ironclad now has Portugal Ironclad sound. (used to have no sound)
Silk road trading post now got normal trading post selection sound. (used to have no sound)
Russian church Kalmuck (dragoon) got now Russian Cavalry Archer sound. (used to have no sound)
Indian consulate Ottoman villagers now got Ottoman sound. (used to have Indian sound)
Native Villager shipment now has always Aztec sound. Sioux and Iroquois villagers still have their original sounds. (used to have sound corresponding to civ)
Previosly these had wrong textures.
Japanese consulate Dutch church now has correct Dutch texture. (used to have British texture)
Japanese consulate Dutch arsenal now has correct Dutch texture. (used to have Russian texture)
Chinese consulate Russian factory now has correct Russian texture. (used to have Spanish texture)
If you know more similar bugs, let me know and I try to fix them.
I suggest you to use Generic mod installer.
You can toggle the mod on and off whenever you want.
Just put that generic mod installer to age of empires 3 folder. Open the mod installer, it makes MOD folder to age of empires 3 folder. Put mods to MODS folder and then open the generic mod installer. And put the mods on.
gibson:is the sandbox comp being at age 4 in 7 minutes and having score of 250 part of the mod?
Nah, I used "SPEED ALWAYS WINS" cheat which makes everything instant, so sandbox comp collects really fast. Reason why I did that was, because I was going to sleep and I was in hurry posting that image which has wonder icon.
A) Don't download if you play 'nilla. It fucks it up.
B) The Queue gets in the way of messages that appear slightly above the UI

Neverseperat:A) Don't download if you play 'nilla. It fucks it up.B) The Queue gets in the way of messages that appear slightly above the UI
a) I know, but when I'll get new computer, I'll make this for vanilla.
b) If you don't like it, remove unittrainingpanelmin.xml, it moves queue to its original place.
Bump. Just saw this thread.
Question: Is it possible to have the transparent skin for this? I liked that quite a lot in ekanta TAD UI. If not, could you make that possible ?
That could be easy, just replacing every interface texture with alpha channel. I hopefully have time to do that in this week.

In the Pre-Alps region, tradition and modernity rub shoulders every day. After feeling as if you were living in Heidi's time, you'll suddenly find yourself in Gruyères amid the works of H.R. Giger, the creator of Alien! If you like to hike or bike, the resorts of Schwarzsee, Charmey, Bulle, Moléson and Les Paccots will give you dream-come-true settings. Whatever you do or don't do, do not miss the Castle of Gruyères and the demonstration cheese dairy.
In Fribourg, the canton's capital and economic centre, you'll find a cultural treasure trove that goes back to the Middle Ages. Fribourg is known for its cultural plurality, university and gastronomy. Our heart's delights: the Espace Jean Tinguely - Niki de Saint Phalle in Fribourg and the Swiss Stained Glass Windows Museum in Romont.
In less than an hour's drive from the Pre-Alps you'll come across the Mediterranean mildness of the medieval cities of Murten and Estavayer-le-Lac. Even at the time of the Celts and Romans, the Three-Lakes Region was a favourite place to holiday. The Papiliorama in Kerzers and the wildlife sanctuary "Grande Cariçaie" are truly worth your while.
The Pre-Alps region offers a superb infrastructure for winter-sport activities, especially for snowshoeing on a low price level! This close-to-nature leisure pursuit has been booming for some years here. And no wonder, as way over 100 km of marked and easily accessible routes attract all age groups, novices and experts alike, to the enchanted snow-covered countryside.
Doing winter sports from Les Paccots to Gruyeres, in Charmey, Jaun, Schwarzsee, La Berra, Moléson-sur-Gruyères... It isn't far to drive, while prices are lower than at the more sophisticated winter-sport resorts, much to the pleasure of families, in particular. You can savour the culinary delights of the Pays de Fribourg at a host of Alpine huts. Refuel with a fondue, a soupe du chalet, a potato rösti or a fine dessert, and enjoy the cordiality and romance of dining at a hut.
Even during the cold seasons, our medieval cities will charm and enchant you with their rich cultural heritage. For example the unique St. Nicholas celebrations with their traditional parade in Fribourg, the path of nativity sets in Estavayer-le-Lac, the Christmas market in Morat.

Excellent organizer for home office
By DH
from Raleigh, NC
I started a new job recently and have a separate iPhone for work. I was looking for something to keep these visible but out of the way on my home office desk. This unifier works perfectly. I use the left front section for my special pens and I took the insert out of the other section so I can use the middle and right for my phones. The wide pockets are great to hold my glasses and a few files that I'm actively using.
Excellent organization tool
By Sully
from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
I chose this product in the black leather. The white stitching gives the piece a nice touch. I use this at my office and in combination with other pieces from the collection give my desk a distinctive and coordinated look. This unifier allows me to keep files for appointments and hearings close and visible along with my tech gear and organized writing tools. Much better than a cup with pens, a pile of folders and always looking for my phone.
Great Compliment to my existing Morgan collection!!!
By Sam
from Philadelphia, PA
This is my second piece from the Morgan collection which is the perfect compliment for my desk. It is made beautifully and looks great. Thank you Levenger for continuing to outfit my office.

morgan desk unifier
By Navy
from Willow Grove, Pa
I got the Morgan unifier because I got tired of losing all sorts of important papers like bills and receipts. I tried using different boxes but none of them seemed to fit my needs. I liked the idea that the unifier had several compartments and the fact that it was a deluxe item. I have a nice desk and wanted something that looked just as nice. The unifier is made very nicely and the workmanship of the leather and overall construction is first rate. (I got the tan one because I like the look of real leather). The compartments are large enough to hold standard "#10" business envelopes and have a type of felt base in each one. There are three smaller compartments, two of which are for pens which is a nice feature plus these compartment inserts ARE removable in case you want to use them for other items. The unifier is very luxurious looking and I am very well pleased with it. I was looking for something impressive and well-made and this works nicely. The two larger compartments are about 1-1/2 inches wide which is wide enough to hold several envelopes or pages. I use one compartment to keep incoming bills and the other large compartment to keep credit card receipts. As a result, I no longer am losing or misplacing these important items. I like it very much and like the way it keeps my desk looking distinguished and neat. It has a decent weight to it so it stays put also. I am glad I got it. I saw several different types of "organizers" in stores but didn't like the cheap plastic or sharp metal choices I saw. The Morgan unifier is in a class by itself in terms of its quality and appearance and I am glad I bought it.
Treated myself
By Whiffy
from Indiana
I have given the Morgan Unifier as a gift several times and finally treated myself to it -- don't know why i waited so long. It looks so good, it motivates me to use it and keep my desk clear. Another great Levenger design!
accomadating product
By Drac
from Afton, Tennesse
Had a little extra money and the semi annual sale was in progress so I decided to splurge for the Unifier. So glad I did. The Unifier organizes a lot of my day to day things and puts them in easy reach. Being on Dialysis, I have a lot of doctor related appointments, and peperwork to deal with, and the Unifier keeps it all handy for me. I have to make a special bandage for a needle numbing salve each day I go, and the Unifier even keeps the tools for that well organized. Thank you Levenger for another great product.
Nice product
By ChiDr
from Chicago, IL
I had been craving this unifier for the longest time, and I'm glad I finally ordered it. It keeps all my desktop items neatly organized and I love having the foam inserts for keeping pens and pencils accessible yet protected. If you're considering a purchase, please note that the compartments are full depth: the middle compartment is 5" deep and the back compartment is 6" deep.
Handsome and useful desk item
By bigdaveb

I love this well crafted desk top organizer. It was well shipped and looks better than the photos! I have mine filled with fountain pens and personalized 3x5 cards. get lots of compliments too
Form and Function
By ohrelax
from Seattle
This desk organizer is great-- it enables me to see and access the things I use everyday. I especially like that it holds my 3X5 cards and pens so nicely. It looks like it will last for years.

«La suisse n'existe pas» (Switzerland does not exist) – in this one key sentence Switzerland introduced itself at the World Exposition in Seville in 1992. This was because it is not uniformity, but variety in a small space that defines Switzerland. This can be explained culturally and geographically: In little Switzerland, four national languages are spoken in addition to numerous dialects. There is also a distinction between the culture in the mountains and the culture on the central plateau, while life in a mountain valley is different from that in the big city. So, although there are numerous regional traditions there are relatively few national customs. However, over time and with the increase in tourism, there are some local customs that have achieved national fame.
No matter whether there is dancing taking place or not, Swiss folk music is mainly dance music.
The most commonly heard musical instruments include the "Schwyzerörgeli" (accordion), the violin, bass violin, clarinet and, in certain regions, the dulcimer or Trümpi (Jew's harp). Alpine folk music developed with the unwritten transfer of skills and compositions over generations, decades and even centuries. The oldest known Kuhreihen (rounds) are from Appenzell and were recorded in 1545. The Alphorn, so typically Swiss, was originally a musical and signaling instrument used by the herdsmen and the many yodeling choirs that have been formed since the 19th century. In general, Switzerland has an extensive amateur music scene, and in virtually every village there is at least a choir or a brass band
Alphorn – the sound of natural tones.
The alphorn is regarded as a typically Swiss instrument. The warm sounds of this original instrument are far-reaching - which is probably the reason it was once used by shepherds to communicate.Read on
Yodeling – it's all in the voice.
If you tend to forget the words when you are singing, you should try natural yodeling as this original form of yodeling is done without words. It was only in the 19th century that yodel choirs were formed that sang the yodeling songs with lyrics.Read on
Folk music in Switzerland
There are a number of local groups devoted to Ländler music, one of the most well-known types of Swiss folk music. Most of the players are amateurs whose reputations are mainly limited to their own region.Read on
On the Alp
Alpine farming has a long history. It is believed that the pastures above the tree line were being farmed as far back as 4,000 BC.
The production of cheese in the summer enabled people to preserve milk and stockpile it for the long winter months. The practice of Alpine farming gave birth to various customs such as the festive processions up into the Alps and down from the mountains, the call to prayer, the Älplerchilbi carnival and the Chästteilet cheese sharing - traditions that have been carefully maintained to this day. From a distance, Alpine life looks romantic: cow bells, a blade of grass in the mouth, unlimited nature, sunsets over the mountain tops and candles on a wooden table. In addition, this lifestyle involves hard physical work and simplicity of life – which, in recent times, has attracted especially urban dwellers from both home and abroad.
Alpine life - where mountains are moved
From the end of May the herdsmen and their cattle move up into the mountains with a great deal of fanfare. There they spent the next 80-120 days milking, making cheese and butter, fencing off pastures, looking for strayed animals and much more besides.Read on
Alp cheese – treats from the Alps.
From a culinary point of view, Alpine farming produces a variety of the finest Alp cheeses - a protected and cherished rarity. It is still produced in smoky mountain huts and made by hand from fresh milk.Read on
Heidi - a story goes around the world.
The novel Heidi by Johanna Spyri is one of the world's best-selling books and is one of the most successful children's stories ever. To date, the book has been translated into over 50 languages.Read on
Customs and sports
For a long time, Swiss sports customs were eclipsed by international types of sport - but recently, they have come back into their own.
While regional and local sporting traditions have often been neglected, there are some sports that have enjoyed increasing popularity. Major events such as the Swiss Wrestling and Alpine Festival ESAF are increasing in popularity; in 2010, the festival reached a new record with 250,000 visitors and became the largest Schwingen festival ever held. It is worth noting that no additional police were needed for the maintenance of order, and the authority of the public address announcer was sufficient. At these multi-day festive occasions, athletic wrestlers, sturdy boulder throwers and strong Hornussen players gave of their best - all to the accompaniment of yodel choirs and accordion orchestras.
Flag throwing – under the spell of the banner.
In earlier times, a trial of strength between the herdsmen and farmers at Alpine festivals, flag waving is now a professional sport with strict rules and with champions who are renowned throughout the land.Read on
Hornussen - Where the Nouss flies from the ramp and into the playing field.
Especially at home in the regions of Emmental, Bern, Solothurn and Aargau, Hornussen, along with Schwingen and stone throwing, is regarded a typical Swiss national sport.Read on
Swiss wrestling (Schwingen) - From herdsman's pastime to elite sport.
In earlier times the Alpine herdsmen and farmers would show off their strength in bouts of wrestling at festivals. Now the sport has become professional with fixed rules and with a national competition where the country's wrestling king is crowned.Read on
Folk traditions throughout the year
Switzerland has many customs that are tied to the calendar - most are of pagan origin or have a religious connection.
The festivals celebrated in Switzerland differ considerably depending on the season and the region. Some are based on ancient traditions while others have emerged only recently. Many of them reflect the course of the agricultural year, such as the ringing in of the vineyard workers in spring, the Alpine ascent and descent during the summer months, and the wine festivals, the Chästeilet cheese sharing and the Älplerchilbi carnivals in autumn. Because there was less for farmers to do in winter than in other seasons, there were more celebrations and customs during this time. Even today, the expulsion of winter and of evil spirits and demons forms part of the tradition - a tradition that is linked to the numerous carnival and year-end ceremonies. Other celebrations recall historical events such as important victories in historical battles.
Summer and autumn customs.
There are not festivals in every season all over Switzerland - but there are festivals in every season somewhere in Switzerland. Anyone wishing to experience the full calendar of customs can look forward to an exciting Tour de Suisse.Read on
Winter and spring customs - the high seasons for festivals.
The traditions of wintertime could not be more diverse, with Christmas as a time of quiet contemplation contrasting starkly with boisterous processions to drive out demons and the cold winter weather.Read on
Locals and foreign visitors also have an opportunity here to plan their own journey through Switzerland's religious landscape using the information and links provided.Read on
Arts and crafts
For half a millennium the Swiss watch industry has enjoyed a good reputation. There were difficult moments - but time has never stood still
Today, 95% of Swiss watches are destined for export and the watch industry is a key export industry. The textile crafts industry also has an eventful past. A few areas, thanks to advanced technology, have enjoyed worldwide attention in haute couture, and the once popular textile handicrafts have found a niche for themselves. Many sectors of the crafts industry, such as wood sculpture, furniture painting and farmers' ceramics are closely connected with the history of Swiss Tourism. As ambassadors, they influenced the image that countless tourists to the Alps had of Switzerland in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Watchmaking – on the cutting edge of time.
As early as 1785 there were about 20,000 people employed in the watchmaking industry, which was producing around 85,000 watches a year. They also produced music boxes and highly specialised mechanical toys.Read on
Textile crafts
Whilst Switzerland may have enjoyed better times as a textile country, a third of the haute couture shown on the world's catwalks is still made from Swiss fabrics.Read on
Traditional crafts – By artists and experts.
Many aspects of Swiss arts and crafts bear witness to rural traditions and have been virtually forgotten over the course of time.Read on
Typical food and wine
The food in Switzerland is a potpourri of influences from various countries. It combines the cuisines of its neighbours and creates from them a local cuisine with local ingredients.
There are a few dishes and specialities, such as fondue, Älplermagronen and chocolate, that are typical of Switzerland, but there is no real Swiss cuisine to speak of. There is a cuisine with Bernese Platter and Bernese Rösti. A cuisine with Vaud sausage and leeks. A cuisine with St Gallen Ribelmais and whitefish from Lake Constance. The Valais is famous for its raclette, Graubünden for its Capuns, Zurich for its Geschnetzeltes, Lucerne for its Chügelipastete and Ticino for its Mortadella und Luganighe. You will find sausage everywhere – Switzerland is home to almost 350 different varieties. And that is - in terms of land area - clearly a world record. And incidentally, while not quite the world leader, the Swiss wines are well on the way there. Besides the well-known classics, Switzerland provides for unique tasting pleasure with its new types of wine and development of indigenous varieties.

A list of clergy in good standing is now available on the diocesan website of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina, providing information to the public about which priests and deacons are currently authorized to function as ordained ministers of The Episcopal Church in this region of South Carolina.
The list includes those who are canonically resident in this diocese, as well as those who are canonically resident elsewhere, but have permission to officiate. At this time, the list includes 88 names, and it is being updated as new transitions occur. It is published online at: http://episcopalchurchsc.org/clergy-in-good-standing.html
At the end of June, a "Notice of Restriction" was sent by the Right Reverend Charles G. vonRosenberg, Provisional Bishop of the diocese, to the Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, all the bishops of the church and other church officials. The notice includes a list of more than 100 clergy who are canonically resident in the diocese and who have been "found to have abandoned The Episcopal Church."
This restriction followed a unanimous vote on June 21 by the standing committee of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina, determining that the clergy listed had abandoned the church. The bishop's letter affirmed that determination, and placed a restriction on the exercise of their ministry in accordance with the constitution and canons of The Episcopal Church.
Clergy under restriction are not authorized to engage in any activity as ministers of The Episcopal Church.
According to church canons, each of the restricted clergy has been sent a copy of the "Notice of Restriction" along with letters advising that they have 60 days "to transmit to the bishop a retraction or denial, indicating your intention to abide by the promises made at ordination, which could lead to the withdrawal of this notice and restriction on ministry in The Episcopal Church."
In the order of service for ordination in the Book of Common Prayer, a person being ordained declares, "I do solemnly engage to conform to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the Episcopal Church."
If there is no response from the restricted clergy in 60 days, the canons require the bishop to remove them from the ordained ministry, and they would be "deprived of the right to exercise in The Episcopal Church the gifts and spiritual authority conferred in Ordination," according to the canons.
Many of the clergy who are now restricted have publicly announced that they are no longer affiliated with The Episcopal Church, and have aligned themselves with a breakaway group led by Mark Lawrence.
Bishop vonRosenberg and members of the standing committee expressed sadness that the action had become necessary. The Reverend Dr. Wilmot T. Merchant, II, president of the standing committee, offered a prayer at the June 21 meeting for those who have chosen to walk a different way, asking for God's help in healing "a fracturing of the body."
Since early April, the bishop has been working to contact all the clergy of the diocese, sending letters by certified mail and offering to meet with them personally to talk about their decision to either remain with The Episcopal Church or separate from it.
Letters initially were sent in early April to members of the clergy who had not yet indicated to Bishop vonRosenberg that they intended to remain with the church. Two weeks later, those who had not responded received a second letter advising them that the matter would go before the standing committee on June 21. That letter included an official pastoral directive from the bishop to respond by June 14. The majority of those who received the letters have chosen not to reply.

Health Professionals supportive of vaccination alternatives
We had a great get together today for the Pregnancy and Parenting Network. The discussion centred around the topic of Vaccination. We talked about homeopathic vaccination, partial vaccination, full vaccination or no vaccination. It was suggested that we list holistic doctors on the forum that are supportive of non-vaccination or alternatives to the full vaccination schedule - so I am keen for their details to be posted in this thread. For those of you wanting Dr Antony Underwood's contact details here they are: Pymble Grove Health Centre. Website http://pymblegrove.com/practitioners...tony-underwood Phone 02 9418 1388

An alternative to mainstream vaccination that I discussed was Homeoprophylaxis (HP). We are seeing Linlee Jordan at Harbord Homeopathic Childrens Clinic located in Brookvale (northern beaches). So far Kaiya has had the trial HP for whooping cough, she had no reaction to this so will be having the full dose in a couple of weeks time.
Clinic details are www.hhcc.com.au.

I'm sorry your doctor did not respect your rights to vaccinate your children as you see fit. What a shame he didn't support you with your decision. The medical profession should work hand-in-hand with parents to provide holistic care for our children. I hope you are able to find a doctor who respects your decision soon.

Leetonia Council gets proposal offering solution for property
February 10, 2013
LEETONIA— Village Council has been presented with a solution for abandoned property owned by the villag....
If they bought it they can sell it. This is the beginning of loss of property rights added to the citizen registration laws. Why else would a panel be needed for one property?

Pink is well aware of what people say about her appearance.
"A 'girl like me' is someone who doesn't rest on her looks, who has had people tell me from day one, 'You're never going to get magazine covers because you are not pretty enough.' I'm totally comfortable with that," the music star tells Redbook for its March issue, on newsstands Feb. 12.
"I know my strong points: I work hard, I have talent, I'm funny and I'm a good person."
The singer, 33, whose The Truth About Love is nominated for Best Pop Vocal album at this year's Grammys, elaborates on just how she feels about her looks in a very superficial industry.
"Beautiful has never been my goal," she says. "Joy is my goal – to feel healthy and strong and powerful and useful and engaged and intelligent and in love. It's about joy. And there's such joy now."
Much of that joy comes from life with her husband, Carey Hart, and their daughter Willow, who turns 2 in June. One way that Pink feels beautiful? "When I'm sitting on a mat and my daughter runs to me with complete joy," she says.
The first night after delivering Willow, Pink adds, a nurse in the hospital spent time helping her adapt to life with a newborn. "We sat up and talked all night with my baby in my arms, and it was like my whole life made sense, for the first time, ever."
The 55th annual Grammys will air Sunday, Feb. 10, on CBS at 8p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m.CT)from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Student Spotlight: Margaret Byrne
Margaret Byrne
Major: Photography
Margaret Byrne, a former College of DuPage student currently teaching in the Motion Picture/Television program, was honored at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival as part of the filmmaking team on the documentary "American Promise."
Byrne spent more than eight years as a director of photography on the documentary, which received the Special Jury Award for Achievement in Filmmaking at Sundance, the famed festival that has launched hundreds of films to critical acclaim and mainstream distribution since 1985. "American Promise" centers on filmmakers Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson, who enrolled their 5-year-old son Idris in the Dalton School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in 1999. Idris, his best friend and classmate Seun, and their families are chronicled from the first day of kindergarten through high school graduation as they deal with issues of identity, class and education.
"The film follows two African American boys from middle-class Brooklyn as they attend a highly competitive school on the wealthy Upper East Side at a time when private schools were diversifying their student bodies," said Byrne, who started working on the movie when the boys were in third grade. "It received acclaim at Sundance for following the same subjects for 14 years, which is rare in a single film. The relationship I have with the families is very unique. Sundance was a great reunion because we stayed in the same house at and celebrated its success together."
Byrne took an interest in photography as a child when she was fascinated by her family's home videos. At age 10 she received her first point-and-shoot camera; three years later, her grandfather built a darkroom in the basement of her parents' home. She later studied photography at College of DuPage.
"I always knew this is what I wanted to do," she said. "I learned so much when I was at COD. The resources are incredible."
After earning a bachelor's degree in film from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Byrne embarked on a career in music, television and film that has spanned the globe. She started her own production company, which required her to learn the business of film. Her biggest client for a decade was recording artist Mary J. Blige, and she was creative director and content producer for Blige's record label, Matriarch.
"My first job in New York was a shooting a behind-the-scenes documentary of Mary and P. Diddy's reunion album, 'Love & Life,'" she said. "I was a female filmmaker, which is rare, and we connected with each other."
Byrne also traveled across Africa in 2005 to help launch MTV on that continent. She then settled in Lagos, Nigeria, and produced music videos. While there, she also married and had a child.
Her latest project is "Raising Bertie," a documentary that first began in 2009 as a look at an alternative school for at-risk boys in North Carolina.
"I was initially commissioned to produce an honor video for the women who ran the school, but I realized this needed to be bigger," she said. "Three months into filming, the school shut down, and the project turned into something far more complex. I've followed three of the boys for several years, and you see what happens when their support system is taken away. People don't expect a lot from them, and I want audiences to understand why they are making the choices they are making and the importance of alternative education."
Now back in Chicago, Byrne is teaching "Editing for Motion Pictures and Television" at COD while trying to secure additional funding and distribution for "Raising Bertie." She received a $120,000 grant for the project through the prestigious John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, which supports independently produced film and video. She also received one of the first filmmaking grants from the Southern Documentary Fund.
In 2015, she plans to begin shooting her first fiction film, "The Pharmacist," in Chicago.
"Film is so challenging. There's a responsibility that comes with being a producer and telling the story," she said. "But I think I'm really good at filmmaking. I know how to get into a story and understand people on an emotional level.
"There's a lot of opportunity in Chicago. And while teaching was not in my plans, this is my first semester doing it and it's great to be back at COD. I love sharing my experiences with my students and ultimately hope that I can inspire them to never give up in their pursuits to become the next generation of filmmakers."

SkePU 0.7
This is a template library with all objects being either templated or in some cases inlined. Therefore there is no need to link against any precompile libraries, just simply add the library to the compilers include path and include the header files of choice.
SkePU consists of a few main classes that constitutes its functionality and interface.
Apart from these, SkePU also uses a few other internally as helpers.
Since SkePU is a multi-backend library, it shields parts of the code with the help of preprocessor directives. Entities whose name ends in
_CL are only included in the compilation if
SKEPU_OPENCL is defined for the preprocessor. In a similar way entities ending in
_CU are only included if
SKEPU_CUDA is defined and
_OMP for
SKEPU_OPENMP. This way SkePU can be compiled even though you are missing some of the backends. CPU backend is always compiled.
In version 0.7, support for 2D (two-dimesional) skeleton operations such as 2D-convolution is provided with the help of newly created matrix data type. Moreover, support for using multiple CUDA devices inside a single host thread is implemented that is available with CUDA 4.0. This is enabled by allocating page-locked memory that allows asyncrhonous CUDA operations. The support for multi-CUDA execution can be easily enabled in a skeleton program by defining USE_PINNED_MEMORY flag.
Please see the examples provided with the source code for more description.

WAILUKU - After a morning of presiding over court cases, 2nd Circuit Judge Richard Bissen walked across the street from the courthouse to his doctor's office for his regular checkup.
Just hours later, after undergoing an electrocardiogram at the doctor's office and being sent to Maui Memorial Medical Center for more testing to examine his heart activity, Bissen was taken to the operating room for emergency heart surgery.
"Had I not been in surgery, I would not have made it," Bissen said.

Second Circuit Judge Richard Bissen was reunited with heart surgeon Dr. Michael Dang (left) and interventional cardiologist Dr. Colin Lee last month at Maui Memorial Medical Center. Also pictured is MMMC Chief Executive Officer Wes Lo (right). Bissen, who underwent emergency heart surgery at the hospital April 19, said that the two doctors saved his life.
Maui Memorial Medical Center photo
After finding a 95 percent blockage of his left main coronary artery, which runs to both the back and front of the heart, hospital interventional cardiologist Dr. Colin Lee cut short an angiogram to have Bissen immediately taken to surgery. "He literally said I was there in the nick of time," Bissen said. "I had to be exactly where I was. I don't know if I deserve it, but I realize I was given a second chance."
Four days after his April 19 triple-bypass surgery, Bissen was released from the hospital to go home. On May 20, just a month after his surgery, he was back on the bench, at first working part time.
As much as he wanted to keep the matter private, Bissen also wanted to show how thankful he was for the hospital's heart program, its doctors and staff.
"I felt like if I just said, 'Thanks, you did your job,' just let it go, then it would be like I was just taking, I was just a taker," said Bissen, whose life has been marked by public and community service. "But I wanted to be more than that. I'm so grateful."
Before being sworn in as a 2nd Circuit judge in April 2005, Bissen was interim director of the state Department of Public Safety and had been first deputy attorney general for the state. The St. Anthony Junior-Senior High School graduate was Maui County prosecuting attorney from August 1995 to January 2003.
When the 51-year-old Kahului resident offered his help to the hospital, officials asked if he would share his story to help spread the word about the hospital's comprehensive heart program.
"I think Maui should know the resources we have here and we should support this resource," Bissen said. "A lot of people automatically think to go to Oahu.
"All I wanted to emphasize is we have a great facility here with great administrators and great doctors and staff. The lives that these men and women working there will save are our friends and relatives. They will probably save - since I have such a big family - one of my relatives.
"I don't think enough people know about this. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be alive today."
The hospital heart team includes seven physicians, among them Lee and cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Michael Dang, who performed Bissen's heart surgery.
Dang said that he used a procedure he developed to put patients on a heart-lung machine so their hearts continue to beat during surgery. "I have been using it for 10 years," Dang said. "Others will stop the heart. When you stop the heart, you have to cool it down and, when you finish, you have to restart it. That always takes its toll. Because I let the heart keep beating, you don't have to restart it, don't have to rewarm it."
Dang said that his surgeries are normally done in two hours, compared with the average of four hours.
Before Dang joined the hospital staff on Valentine's Day 2012, 10 to 12 heart surgeries a year were done there.
Last year, with Dang and fellow cardiac surgeon Dr. Tracy Dorheim on staff, 89 heart surgeries were done at the hospital, up from 18 in 2011. This year, Dang estimates, close to 100 heart surgeries will be performed.
Seventy percent of those operated on are Maui residents, Dang said, with the remaining 30 percent being Big Island residents or tourists.
"We're the only facility outside of Honolulu capable of doing heart surgery," Dang said.
He said that triple-bypass surgery is "probably the most common operation" done by the heart team. Dang said that Bissen's surgery "was a relatively routine case."
Wes Lo, Maui Memorial chief executive officer, recruited Dang from The Queen's Medical Center on Oahu. "Doctor Dang is a legend at Queen's," Lo said. "He has done more heart surgeries in the last 25 years than anybody in the state of Hawaii. We were very fortunate to have this gentleman be in our midst."
As part of developing the Maui Memorial heart program, Lo also recruited Lee to start the hospital's coronary intervention program two-and-a-half years ago. Lee and Dr. Joseph Chambers lead the interventional cardiology team that has seen an increase in patients while meeting or exceeding many American College of Cardiology standards, according to the hospital.
One standard measuring quality of care for patients who show up at the hospital with emergent major heart attacks is the "door to balloon time," or time it takes from the patient's arrival at the hospital to the inflation of a balloon to open the blocked artery.
The ACC time standard is 90 minutes or less. Since April of last year, the hospital has met that time for 100 percent of patients, Lee said, with an average time of 63 minutes and a record time of 19 minutes.
Lee said that last year, the hospital treated 80 to 90 such patients - "a very high number" for a hospital of its size. According to the hospital, coronary interventions at Maui Memorial more than doubled from 2011 to 2012.
"In a full-blown heart attack, every minute counts," Lee said. "Heart muscle is dying as every minute passes. To delay until you get to Honolulu before you treat a patient may mean the heart attack may be almost completely done by the time you get there. Or worse yet, the patient may not survive.
"The sooner you get the blood flowing, the more heart muscle you save. The more heart muscle you save, the better the patient's survival."
Before the comprehensive heart program was established, 300 to 400 patients a year were being transferred from Maui Memorial to Oahu hospitals for cardiac procedures, Lee said. Last year, he said, the number dropped to 20, all of them Kaiser patients.
That means hundreds of Maui patients have been saved the $14,000 to $18,000 cost and three to six hours it may take to arrange an air ambulance flight to Honolulu, Lee said.
Both he and Dang emphasized that heart team members work together in treating patients. "We're all partners, so there's not competition," Dang said. "We evaluate patients together."
Added Lee: "It's all about what's best for the patient.
"The best justification for us being here is to treat those cases that really can't wait, where every minute counts," Lee said.
He said that was the case for Bissen.
The judge said the events leading up to his lifesaving surgery began with his 11 a.m. appointment April 19 with internist Dr. Nolan Arruda at Maui Medical Group. "A lot of people think I'm hardheaded," Bissen said. "The truth is I follow all the doctor's orders. I have regular checkups."
After Bissen described a lingering cough that caused his chest to feel warm even when he wasn't coughing, a little heartburn and what felt like a pinched nerve running down the left side of his neck for two or three days, Arruda decided to order an EKG that was done there.
He said that Arruda sent the results to Bissen's cardiologist, Dr. Howard Barbarosh. Seeing differences from Bissen's EKG done a year earlier, both doctors decided Bissen needed to go to the hospital emergency room for what he thought would be more tests.
By then, it was about 12:20 p.m. Bissen asked if the tests could wait until after his 1:30 p.m. court session and his 5:30 p.m. commitment to play music with a group at the Wailuku Community Center.
The doctor's answer, Bissen said, was "absolutely not."
Because he reported having no pain, Bissen was told he could drive himself to the emergency room.
So he walked back to the courthouse and asked his judicial assistant to find another judge to handle his afternoon calendar. He called his wife, Isabella, as he was on the way to the hospital. She met him there, along with his oldest daughter, Sayble.
At the emergency room, additional EKGs were done before Lee spoke to Bissen and he was taken to the angiogram lab.
Lee was reviewing the third of several images planned as part of the procedure when he found the artery blockage.
"Because of the path of his pain, we knew we couldn't afford to wait," Lee said. "The pain started to get worse because the blockage was so severe."
Bissen remembers Lee's "calming, unreal demeanor."
"All he said was, 'Hey, Rick, we're not seeing what we expected to see. We're just going to go right to the OR,' " Bissen recalled. "I said, 'Sounds good to me.' "
By then, Bissen's assessment of his pain level had gone from "one" to "nine," and he felt as though his chest was stretching.
"At that time, I had no idea that I was going to have surgery," he said.
About an hour had passed from the time he arrived at the hospital.
In the operating room, Bissen was introduced to Dang and was put under anesthesia.
"Within seconds, I'm out," Bissen said. "Next thing I remember, I was in the ICU."
When he awoke, his first vision was of his youngest daughter, Keapo, who had flown in from the Big Island, where she was attending the University of Hawaii-Hilo. Other friends and family members also were in the room, including daughter Kaanohi.
"My wife told me I had a triple bypass," he said.
Bissen was talking that day, began to sit up the next and soon was walking.
When he was told to walk a certain distance once, he would do it twice. By the third day, after he again exceeded activity benchmarks, Bissen was allowed to walk out to the reception area to see his many visitors.
Four days after his surgery, he was discharged from the hospital.
"I had passed all the milestones. I tried my best to hit them all," he said. "It was excellent care, but I just felt like going home."
First, he had his wife drive him to the barber for a haircut, then to Longs to get his medication before going home and taking a shower.
"All the little things started to be big things, the things you take for granted like a shower, sleeping in your bed, raising your arm," Bissen said. "Everything slowed down."
After talking with his cardiologist later, Bissen said he learned that an acute rupture of plaque in an artery had caused blood to clot and the clotting created the blockage in his artery. It was like a "freak accident," Bissen said, that luckily happened while he was already at the hospital.
"Had I not gone, I would have died on the bench or I would have died playing music at the Wailuku Community Center that night," he said. "I was supposed to die on April 19. These guys saved my life. It's that simple. They were ready and waiting and knew what to do.
"I have played that day back many, many times," he said. "I see it as a complete gift. It was incredible."
As part of the surgery, Dang used 12 titanium screws to secure two titanium plates in Bissen's chest. "I guess he assumed I would continue a pretty active lifestyle," Bissen said.
He said his recovery also was helped by his brother-in-law, Tim, and sister-in-law, Ka'o, who began massaging him, starting in the hospital the day after his surgery and continuing once he was home. The massages helped with his circulation, Bissen said.
"I can't pinpoint exactly what helped me recover so well, from the doctors and medicine, to my genes, to prayers and help from all my friends and family," he said. "It's everything combined, I think."
Five days a week, Bissen walks 45 minutes a day on a treadmill. With a combination of rest, activity and medication, "I'm just trying to follow my body," he said.
His overall attitude hasn't changed, he said.
"Life's good, life's great," he said. "I have nothing to complain about."

Can you define these popular missing words?
Top Definition
a genre of movies characterized by low-key lighting, a bleak urban setting, and corrupt, cynical characters.
"Laura" (1944-with Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews)is an example of a film noir film.
av Silvana Oderisi 11. mai 2005
A crime film of of 30s-50s period, typically with a dark atmosphere, cynical protagonist, mysterious female character, dramatic irony and unhappy ending.
"Maltese falcon" is probably the most well known film-noir.
av George_aslf 26. september 2005
The definition of a film noir is very argueable and loose. Some state film noir as a time period in which the film was made. others suggest it as a style of film may be characterized by dark imagery, showing the end at the beginning of the film, shadows, corruption, night life, violence, pessimism, detective films, voice over narration by the character, inevitable bad endings, a film strong on thought. film noir may cross many genres such as action, sci-fi, drama, suspense, thriller, action, and even romantic comedy. One of the first films to be defined as a film noir is The Maltese Falcon and one of the defining films is double indemnity.
Film noir is still seen influenced in films today.

Only used where -ey is not a propper suffix to the word, or as a double. Also used by retards who don't realize that they are using slang. (They think that the -ey is supposed to be there)

Hockey wouldn't be hockey without fighting. I'd hate to see it leave.
Truth. My primary interest in hockey is the fighting and grit... it's what appeals to me and gets me out of my seat. Pacifistic, girly, European style hockey is uninteresting to me. They have already partly sissified the game by penalizing clutching and grabbing and for calling penalties on every little itty bitty iota of contact away from the puck... if they also move towards eliminating fighting they will likely lose a fan (me).

Four-Semester MBA Program
Consider the Benefits
- Builds solid foundation in business fundamentals
- Features integrated courses that foster a multidisciplinary perspective
- Combines a generalist perspective with opportunities to specialize
Program Objective
The Four-Semester Program is designed for students who wish to combine their liberal arts, fine arts, science, or engineering background with business to create a dynamic career track. While no previous business coursework is required, a working knowledge of calculus and well-developed English and computer skills are very beneficial.
Developing Core Essentials
During the first year, expect to develop the fundamentals of business through the core courses that provide the base for more individualized study in the second year. These courses include the functional areas of business that equip you with the important analytical tools essential for critical decision-making. Students work in task-oriented teams, drawing upon the experience and skills of peers to solve challenging business problems. Effective leadership requires students to see the big picture and to understand how all the functional areas are linked. Additionally, the first year emphasizes the role of managers in today's society by integrating social responsibility, leadership, and cultural sensitivity. Communication skills, critical to business success, are also fine-tuned through the written and oral communications course. Furthermore, the first year focuses on career preparation through the professional development course that includes job search strategies, leadership assessment, development of networking and interviewing skills, and interaction with employer guest speakers.
Flexible Curriculum
Internships help launch your career.
In the second year of the program, students have the opportunity to explore various career tracks through numerous elective course offerings, including cross-disciplinary electives, real-world project courses and corporate internships.
Because experiential learning plays an integral part in fulfilling career goals, the
school requires every full-time MBA student to obtain an internship during the course
of the program. (Internships may be used towards fulfilling an elective course requirement).
MBA Four-Semester Full-Time Schedule (Fall admission only)
MBA Specializations
Although the program provides a generalist perspective, the flexibility of the curriculum allows you to concentrate in one of five career specializations, which include:
- Accounting*
- Finance
- Leadership Studies
- Supply Chain Management
- Management Information Systems
- Marketing
In addition to a concentration, students who take selected quantitative coursework
will also have the opportunity to earn a focus in business analytics.
Please note: Concentrations are optional.
* Students pursuing a concentration in accounting must possess an undergraduate degree in accounting from a U.S. accounting program.
Independent study is encouraged throughout the program. Students and faculty can
design interdisciplinary projects based upon the student's career choice."
- Debi Mishra, Associate Professor of Marketing
When you consider the benefits - the quality of education, added value of the MBA, increase in marketability and competitive tuition - you will see this program is designed with your career in mind.

Pollen much? As the Lowcountry moves from winter to spring, we have new joys and challenges. I am hearing more about allergies, Easter plans, planning kids' spring vacations and even looking ahead to summer plans for kids. As always, comments about relationships, loss, anxiety and depression, family feuding and overall communication keep coming in too. Thank you for the comments and questions. I will try to answer some personally as time permits. If you don't hear back, write again, please.
Dear Liz,
I just got a new full time job (yay) but just in time for my children's spring and then summer vacations. My husband travels a lot in his job, and we are relatively new to the area. The kids are in public school, grades three, five and seven, so they still need good, safe supervision, which I also want to be fun. Do you have ideas on helping the children adjust to my new schedule and finding good help?
Lots going on
Dear "Lots,"
You are spot-on to your priorities for the children as you work. The good news is they are old enough to be entertained in our area, both in-home and out. For your elementary school aged kids, check into Kaleidoscope (after school program). Within those programs are not only after school homework and well-supervised social interaction, there are also special programs like Karate for Success. Check with Wando Community Schools and/or your Kaleidoscope Director at the school. Some schools continue to run over the summer as well, which includes fun field trips.
For your middle school-er, check with the guidance department for ideas, and offerings at Wando Community Schools. I also recommend checking with the Wando guidance department and your local churches for names of responsibility babysitters. I always recommend sitters with special training offered by the American Red Cross and other agencies, and that the children's parents be reachable while they work.
It is advisable to check with your neighborhood association as well as Mount Pleasant (or the islands) Recreation departments for their great offerings. East of the Cooper is a great place to live. I hope you will find that your biggest problem will be choosing among many possibilities.
As for your children's adjustment — sit down at a calm time and discuss your plans for making sure they are safe, doing their responsibilities and having fun, while you are at work. Make sure they know how and when to reach you. Find a back-up in your neighborhood as well. Your seventh grader is getting close to babysitting age, but explain that you need to make sure he or she gets to have fun and not be on duty, especially with siblings who may (or may not) cooperate. Listen to their fears and concerns as well. Make sure that you take care of yourself as you adjust — and do what is necessary to give each child some of your focused time when you are off. They will adjust basically as well as you do (pressure). So, make the most of family meals, make sure everyone in the family pitches in, have off time together to play — including being unplugged from devices when mama is home. Eye contact, listening, "chilling" together — so important for exchanging the love we all crave.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Angelina Jolie
- 1982
On Camera with Dad
A 6-year-old Jolie appears with her father, actor Jon Voight, in Lookin' to Get Out. It's one of the few moments she spends with her father. Jolie would later say that their time together was always and only in front of a camera.
- early 1990s
Turbulent Teens
Marcheline Bertrand allows her 14-year-old daughter's older boyfriend to move in to their Los Angeles home, with Jolie and older brother James Haven. In her teens, Jolie suffers bouts of depression and begins cutting herself. "I had that problem early on when I couldn't feel a bond with another human being," she tells Allure in 2004. "Mostly it was all about trying to connect." Jolie and her boyfriend break up in 1991.
- 1995
Big-Screen Beginning
Jolie, 20, stars in Hackers opposite British actor Jonny Lee Miller. Seven months later, Jolie weds Miller wearing black leather pants and a white top with his name scrawled on the back in Jolie's own blood. Only her mother and his best friend attend the ceremony. Though the marriage would prove to be short-lived – they split in 1997 and divorce in 1999 – the pair would remain good friends.
- 1998
Same-Sex Surprise
Jolie begins a relationship with Foxfire costar Jenny Shimizu, a mechanic turned model and actress. In an interview with Barbara Walters in July 2003, Jolie admits to same-sex longings. "I was surprised when I suddenly found myself having those feelings I'd always had for men for a woman," Jolie said, adding she would now consider dating someone of either gender.
Her First Gold
Jolie earns her first Golden Globe for her role as Cornelia Wallace, the second wife of Alabama's pro-segregation governor George Wallace, in the TV movie George Wallace. Of the rising star, the movie's director, John Frankenheimer (The Manchurian Canidate), tells PEOPLE, "The world is full of beautiful girls," he says, "But they're not Angelina Jolie. She's fun, honest, intelligent, gorgeous and divinely talented." Her performance also earns her an Emmy nomination that she loses to costar Mare Winningham.
- 1999
A Golden Globe and a Dip in the Pool
After winning her second Golden Globe for her title role in Gia, Jolie jumps into the pool at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in her Randolph Duke gown. "What's funny to me is that everyone wasn't jumping into the pool," Jolie tells Playboy. "It's one of those events, and the people in the room are supposed to be free and wild, but everyone is so tame and careful."
- 2000
Girl, Interrupted
Jolie stars in the coming-of-age mental hospital drama Girl, Interrupted. Although costar Winona Ryder is the film's lead, it is Jolie who shines as the sociopath Lisa. The New York Times says, "Ms. Jolie's ferocious, white-hot performance captures the scary allure of this daredevil and brutal truth teller, the movie's answer to R. P. McMurphy of Cuckoo's Nest."
Brotherly Love
After winning a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role in Girl, Interrupted, Jolie shocks fans by kissing her brother James Haven on the lips and saying in her acceptance speech she is "so in love" with him. When the media begins to wonder about their relationship, Jolie tells Jay Leno that the incest jokes were "pathetic."
Nuptials and a Tattoo with Billy Bob
Jolie checks herself into the UCLA Medical Center's Neuropsychiatric Institute for three days following a nervous breakdown. Shortly after her release, on May 5, the 24-year-old actress marries her Pushing Tin costar Billy Bob Thornton, 44, in a $189 Las Vegas ceremony. While Thornton's girlfriend at the time, Laura Dern, is stunned, Jolie shows her commitment by having his name tattooed on her left shoulder.
- 2001
Dad Joins Lara Croft
Jolie briefly reconciles with her father, and the two star in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. They forge a stronger bond during filming, and Voight shows fatherly concern when Jolie performs 80 percent of her own stunts. "I'd be on the sidelines with the stunt coordinator saying, 'You're pushing her too hard,' or pulling her aside and telling her she was taking too many risks," he tells the New Zealand Herald. "But she wouldn't listen. She's too independent, too headstrong."

Absolutely the best course for learning the basics of real estate investing! There is a lot more to this business than just buying and selling houses. Josh Fuhrer knows his stuff and delivers the information in a concise style. He gets to the point, covers all the important details, and doesn't spoon-feed the information. I feel that I have the knowlege it takes to get started and can formulate a plan for investing in real estate that will actually work. Now all I need is the courage to do it!
I am very proud to say that I am now the proud owner of a full duplex that will be used as a rental property with unbelievable cash flow. Had I not started your course I believe that I would not have invested in this purchase and let this unbelievable opportunity slip through my hands. I look forward to continuing my investing career- thank you.
I found Josh a wonderful teacher. He was extremely proficient in explaining the subject matter and went into great detail with questions that were submitted to him. I give Josh and this course a triple A rating.
I took this course while being deployed to Iraq. My hours aren't flexible at all, but I still managed to complete all the coursework. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in real estate investing. With the information received from this course, the cost of it is a steal! I would expect to pay much more for the information I received.
This class is excellent. I'm so glad I took it. Josh presents his information in entertaining and organized steps that even a newbie such as myself found interesting and understandable. His training include hands-on exercises that help build a solid foundation for real estate investing. I am recommending it to friends and members of my family. I will take any other class from Josh.
This course has basically taught me a new career. I was about to accept a full time position in marketing. But now, instead of making money for someone else and having to deal with juggling a career and children, I can use this course to build my own wealth and real estate business. Josh Fuhrer covers everything you need to begin. If you have ever, or would ever invest in real estate this course is a must!
This was by far the best online class I've taken. I work in the real estate industry and I must say that this class taught me a lot about real estate that I didn't know and will be very helpful as I pursue becoming an investor. Two thumbs up Josh!!! You were the best!!
