Now that Euro 2012 is over, let's take at a few more general trends from Euro 2012 that might have gone missing in the main stream media's appraisal of the tournament. I have identified five interesting facets of the tournament thus far.
1. The importance of taking the lead
It's not unique to this tournament that scoring the first goal in a match is crucial, but at Euro 2012 it has more often than not been decisive. We had 31 matches, and only twice did the team who scored first go on to lose the game (Sweden 1-2 Ukraine, and Netherlands 1-2 Portugal). It has felt like this as well--the whole tournament has felt like a long series of mismatches, not necessarily on paper, but in reality, once a game has got going, there's very rarely been any way back. Italy's win over Germany was a perfect example of this. Germany had been highly praised and entered the match favourites but there just didn't look like there was any way they were going to come back from 2-0 down at any point.
2. Lack of upsets
There has barely been anything in the tournament that you could classify as an upset. Obviously there's a fine balance - The 2002 World Cup in South Korea & Japan was negatively affected because a lot of the favourite countries went out early on and left the tournament light in star power and appeal. From this tournament, Greece 1-0 Russia is the standout game that was a major surprise. The Netherlands losing 1-0 to Denmark was a surprise at the time but given they lost all three matches it doesn't feel so momentous in retrospect. Italy beating Germany in the semi-final was another one, but Italy has won four world cups and they are hardly outsiders at any tournament.
3. What now for Strikers?
It's been an odd tournament for strikers. The obvious example is Spain's 4-6-0 formation which has tried to render strikers obsolete, but the initial rounds of the group stage seemed to find most of the primary strikers of teams in the tournament on the scoresheet. Robin Van Persie, Mario Gomez, Robert Lewandowski, Danny Welbeck, Nikica Jelavic, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andriy Shevchenko, Fernando Torres and Nicklas Bendtner. The only exceptions were Alexander Kerzhakov and Karim Benzema.
However, they all fell away. By the time the semi-finals came around, Postiga was out for Portugal in favour of Almeida, Spain, although playing a striker, picked Negredo over Torres. Despite his three goals there was talk of Mario Gomez not starting the semi-final for Germany in favour of the more mobile Klose, in the end he was substituted at half time.
The only contradiction to this was Mario Balotelli, who himself had been dropped for the Ireland game earlier in the tournament and had squandered a lot of chances all tournament long. It seems there is something about the modern style of football that centre forwards are struggling to adapt to. Sid Lowe, for instance defends the 4-6-0 by arguing that there's not much point in a quick striker to get in behind a defence that never comes out of its 18 yard box.
My personal opinion is that one possible solution is that we may see a return of the old fashioned centre forward who is capable of being a physical presence in the box that requires extra attention from defences and presents an aerial threat. However, with Fernando Llorente sitting on the bench all tournament long for champions Spain, this argument is on shaky ground too.
4. Number 10's obsolete in favour of playmakers
With teams moving away from two strikers and the traditional No. 10 role suffering, it has been a very good tournament for many quarterbacks of the teams. Modric struggled against Italy, but was tremendous against Ireland and Spain. Xavi struggled against Portugal because they gave him less time on the ball, but is still the number one component of Spain's tiki-taka style. Gerrard, whatever you say about his tactical discipline, had three assists in four games.
Ozil shone in patches, as did Moutinho. The player of the tournament for me was a 35-year old Andrea Pirlo, who has been playing as a deep lying playmaker in a four-man midfield; rather than the more popular five-man version, which has meant his defensive duties in the middle of the park could not be shirked either.
5. Dodgy Goalkeepers?
Euro 2012 has not been a good tournament for goalkeepers. While there have been some stand out performances, (Rui Patricio's of Portugal against Spain jumps at me for one) keepers have not really been up to much. Some (Neuer, Casillas) have had to do very little, others have had very shaky tournaments.
For example, Joe Hart of England's wasn't impressive. Buffon had his least sure handling game that I've ever seen from him in the semi-final and then conceded to a rampant Spain. Between Greece's Kostas Chalkias and Ireland's Shay Given there was enough comedy keeping to ensure the highlight reels keep the Christmas DVD's going for another year.
All in all, it's been quite a disappointing tournament now that it's through. The main thing I feel we've learned is that football teams are so well organized and disciplined these days that it's incredibly tough to get the ball off them (Spain) or create scoring chances against them even if you have more of the ball than them (Italy, England).
Therefore the game can effectively be strangled and constricted to death. When you couple this in with the general level of playacting, referees stopping play for faked injuries, the time modern players take for throw ins, substitutions to waste time, cheap fouls in the middle of the field to stop an opponents flow without yellow cards, very few of the matches have had anything resembling a genuine ebb and flow and if you're interested in feeling like you're watching a sport where anything can happen, this has not been the tournament for you. We can only hope that there is another tactical "leap" to come soon in football to circumvent the defensive era football is going through.710352

My first clue on the existence of specific influenza pandemics before 1918 came a few years ago while reading some local newspapers on the Spanish Flu itself.

A local radio station recently hosted a physician and asked him various questions. As you'd expect, one of the topics included cancer. Unfortunately the physician made a blanket statement: everyone has cancer.I don't know about you, but I do not want to receive a diagnosis of cancer from a medical professional. Certainly the diagnoses of many cancers has changed today when compared to twenty years ago, but that does not make the thought of receiving such a diagnosis a........ Read more »

Here you can connect dot by dot, one peaceful, inspirational experience to another.

Aspen wood ceilings, clear dug fir floors, plush furniture, a sprawling open kitchen with tons of counter space, classic decor, a deep cast iron tub and 21' cathedral ceilings were some of the reasons why this home was featured in The Aspen Sojourner magazine mid winter 2008 edition under 'In style, off the Grid.'
Every window projects it's astonishing natural beauty into the house weather you are in bed, on the couch reading your favorite book, in the rocking chair by the wood stove, or enjoying cooking or eating a meal.
This solar home puts you on the very threshold of access to pure mountain beauty and ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES FOR ADVENTURE.
Beaver dams and a thriving riparian habitat are so close you can see trout rise on the lake. Mist and fog rises from the waterfall and settles into the valley offering dynamic and constantly changing scenery.
13,000 foot mountains surround, offering 360' views of rugged alpine scenery. In floor radiant heat is a feature offering comfort in the cold of winter along with a wood burning stove. Perched on a promontory you can look down 1000 feet to the river, water fall and lake and up 4000 feet to surrounding peaks and cliffs.
Although all types of activities are always beckoning we find we don't want to leave the house as being home affords the opportunity to observe in comfort and luxury, after any number of mini-adventures. Hawks, falcons, elk, deer and fox are commonly seen from the house. Rainbows, dramatic thunder storms, blue bird sunny days from this vantage point are common. The view out every window is a masterpiece. The cabin is in a very sunny south facing location; offering ample sunlight in the winter, great fall color viewing in the fall.
Marble peak is one of the most popular back-country ski destination in Colorado. Do a visual check off the deck as it is a peak just south of the house, about 3 miles away.
Hikes to the Crystal mill (one of the most photographed spots in Colorado) near the old mining town of crystal takes you along the crystal river on the way to lead king basin or Crested Butte for wonderful wild flower viewing, or watch the aspen turn colors in the fall. Lizard lake is along this road as well.
Soak in Penny hot springs or Avalanche ranch hot springs. A perfect destination for families, romance, reunions, weddings and retreats. We are open year-round, and it's always spectacularly beautiful in Marble. There are magnificent views then there are magnificent views, this is the latter! We look forward to welcoming you to our enjoyable slice of alpine Paradise.
Supurb access to every mountain outdoor activity. Vacation in comfort and style in one of the most beautiful places in Colorado. Please request more photos! I will be happy to email them. Marble tends to be significantly cooler in the summer than Denver, Grand Junction etc. Also, if you choose to stay at the cabin in the sky remember to fill up on groceries and gas prior to your visit, The closest Grocery stores and gas stations are in Carbondale and if you are coming from the west, Peonia.

anthony jerkunica purchased this chateau / country house in 1998
This house is in this special location because I was so inspired by the beauty that building it became an enjoyable passion. The location provides complete rejuvenation and inspires a deep connection to nature. This house is in a location where your mind can relax without distraction from the outside world. How rare in this day and age! Pick any mountain/alpine experience and it is here to refresh and invigorate you.
First and foremost, this house offers unparalleled views and is bathed in sun so it is a bright and cheery location. Secondly, you can access almost any outdoor mountain activity by walking. Ski Marble peak, the marble ski area, fish the Crystal river, dine at the Redstone Inn, visit the Marble quarry, view Colorado wild flowers, kayak the crystal river, rock climb, ice climb, hunt for elk, grouse or deer. Take Scofield pass to crested Butte via 4 wd, Ski Aspen, Highlands or Snowmass, Attend Carbondale mountain fair, Listen to the classical music or Jazz at Aspen music festival, Dine at any of the incredible restaurants in Carbondale.Horseback riding is available in Redstone.
Also, certain months out of the year a natural, free, public hot springs on the crystal river is available. Secondly, Avalanche hot springs (also 25 min. from the cabin) offers geothermal hot springs for 12.00 for adults. Open from 8 am- 6 pm daily, year round.
Food preparation in the spacious kitchen is a pleasure. A dip in the river, a ski, a hike or just lazing about will allow you to appreciate what this cabin has to offer. My wife and I are certified Pilates and yoga instructors ( a Pilates 'reformer' is at the Cabin). Inquiries are welcome for private classes and our class schedule @ our studio in Carbondale. A new Frisbee golf course has been established in a park in down town Marble.
We had a wonderful time at the cabin and enjoyed the beautiful views of the mountains. We hiked up the Crystal river and enjoyed seeing th foliage before all the leaves had fallen. This truely is a great place to come and unwind and experience the rocky mountains natural beauty. We certainly were lucky to have amazing weather as well. Hope to come again next year.!!
Thanks, R and M
My trip to and stay at The Cabin in the Sky with its remote location in Marble presented me with some unique challenges that I couldn't have dreamed up if I had tried, but my cat, Phoenix, and I would do it all again in a heartbeat! In addition to it's beauty both inside and out, the house has a healing, nurturing and very relaxing energy and everything from watching the light change throughout the day, to being enveloped in stars at night, is awe inspiring. Anthony is a very kind, generous person and made sure that I was comfortable throughout my stay. I loved it here in the winter, and can't wait to return in the summer/fall to see the colors! What a gift this place is! Can't say enough, but you really have to experience it to understand it! Because of the remote location I recommend bringing food/supplies for a couple of days, especially in winter (there is no cell service outside of Carbondale). The roads into Marble are well maintained, but the private road up to the house is long and steep so a 4WD with decent snow tires is mandatory!! Once there the house is so cozy you won't want to leave :)
We wanted to take the kids to see snow and at the same time get away from it all. This was the perfect home for that. The house is beautiful and well maintained. Keep in mind, this home is in a remote location and is solar powered. So if you are looking into getting away from the city life, it is exactly that. The landowners were very nice and helpful. they checked on us to make sure we had arrived safely and were always just a phone call away when we had any questions.They kept plenty of wood for us to use in their awesome wood burning stove along with your typical necessities.
Great time at the house and Marble. Accommodations worked out great.
We just returned from a wonderful long weekend at "The Cabin in the Sky." We had been referred by friends and their promises of "you're going to love it" were spot on. The home itself is really impressive. We were only a small group of 4 but rented the whole house for extra privacy and to snag the second bathroom on the lower level. The main house can sleep 4-6 comfortably, but the only bathroom is in the master bedroom so tricky for larger groups and people needing to make that overnight run to the potty through the master bedroom. It was all fine and we loved having the whole house to ourselves. The directions and instructions were clear but they need to be read carefully. Especially the driving instructions - which are accurate but you need to pay attention! Anthony is not joking about filling up with gas & provisions in Carbondale and being aware that there is no cell phone coverage after Carbondale. There is wi-fi at the house but it is weak and can't be relied on for any heavy duty use. It is important to know weather before heading out and to know what your options are for sight seeing and activities before you get to the house since internet is slim. We found the radio in the kitchen was helpful for weather reports. Highlights: The hummingbirds- we got lots of prize winning photos. Fishing - we caught several rainbow trout - a treat. Hiking - stunning views and vistas throughout the area. BBQ - @ Slow Groovin' BBQ - delicious. Hot Springs at Mile marker 55 in Redstone- yes -really hot and watch out for "The Nuddies". Crystal Mines by the jeep tour. Only way to go unless you want to die or ruin your 4 x 4 car. If you feel like a vigorous hike- great destination - go all the way to Crystal City. Tour of the Historic Marble Mill Site -interesting history. Coffee at The Hub-nice people. Soaking in the scenery from every window and the deck - especially the star filled night sky- breathtaking. ONLY complaint-stuffy bedrooms at night. Solar windows don't all open for that lovely cooling night breeze and master bedroom deck door doesn't have a screen. We were roasting. We also needed to re-stock drinking water and found a little store in the Redstone Village. That was the closest for water so bring plenty. Otherwise- wonderful, relaxing retreat and highly recommend. Simple luxury, clean and classy accommodations. Anthony was very gracious. We hope to return some day!
Absolutely loved the location and the house; the view from the deck alone is worth renting the house. The house is very near the Carbonite Creek trail - an amazing day hike. Awakening to the view from the master bedroom was comparable to waking up in a campsite on a cliff - all you can think is "WOW!".
Marble is the old Colorado in a thousand different ways. It is quiet, beautiful, old fashioned. We loved the BBQ restaurant and proximity to Penny Hot Springs. Not sure if we'd hike to Crystal again - it's beautiful to be sure, but as hikers, we were a minority among the off-road vehicles. Marble is the anti-Aspen or anti-Dillon/Silverthorne.
Strongly recommended.
Note: don't use Google Maps to find the house - it sent us to the wrong part of Marble.
Anthony was quick to respond to my request and was extremely accommodating. We traveled with a 3 year old and let me assure you that there is more than enough for the 3 year old to do on the property.
The previous reviews say it all. If you are looking to get away from everything, this is the place to go. Marble only has 130 residents and at night, you see no more than 15 lights on below you from the houses in the valley. The Milky Way and millions of stars are above you. You get to wake up to deer and hummingbirds every morning. The inside amenities are "different" than you're used to as it's off the grid but you get used to it almost immediately. Be respectful of this beautiful property and it will treat you right.
We didn't want to leave the property as it's so relaxing but just minutes away are beautiful hiking trails, waterfalls, lakes, parks, and hot springs. Go to Penny Hot Springs right along the river on your way up to Carbondale. Such a cool experience and a real "hot spring." Redstone is a great little town. Nothing to do in Marble other than the BBQ place and a small little coffee shop but this is the reason you come here, to do nothing. Aspen is about an hour away. There is a grocery store in Carbondale or a new Whole Foods about 10 minutes east of Carbondale which was fantastic.
So many wonderful things to say about this property with nothing negative. When you book, make sure you follow the directions provided by Anthony and try to arrive in daylight. GPS will take you somewhere else and even in the daylight, we took a couple wrong turns when we arrived. I can't wait to return in the future. You won't be disappointed!
Fly Fishing, Marble Peak Back Country Skiing, Marble Quarry Tours, Lead King Basin 4WD Tour, Back Packing, frisbee golf, ATV riding, horseback riding,visit the famous and photogenic Crystal Mill, soak in Penny Hot springs, intertube river or snow hills, sled on road visit the marble museum for local history. ALSO, Peoania and Hotchkiss are an easy and beautiful 50 miles where you can enjoy the states breadbasket fruits (Peaches, nectarines, plums, berries, apples, cherries, etc). Also, the veggies are gorgeous! There are some great restaurants/bakeries like the 'flying fork' and some local wineries to sample the local flavor.

These useful screening plants grow fast when young, becoming dense, full, rm, and toughand they do it with little upkeep. However, birds spread the seeds and they can be weedy. All tolerate seashore conditions, heat, and wind. Established plants will tolerate considerable drought. Resistant to damage by deer.
Evergreen kinds serve a prime role as screening plants and are also useful as natural espaliers, clipped hedges, and high bank covers. Their foliage is distinguished by silvery (sometimes brown) dots on leaves; these reflect sunlight, giving the plants their distinctive sparkle. Both evergreen and deciduous sorts bear insignificant but usually fragrant flowers that are followed by decorative fruit (typically red with silvery flecks).
E. angustifolia. RUSSIAN OLIVE. Deciduous tree. Zones US, MS; USDA 6-7. Native from Europe to Asia. To 20 ft. high and wide, but can be clipped as medium-height hedge. Angular trunk and branches (sometimes thorny) are covered by shredding dark brown bark that is picturesque in winter. Bark contrasts with narrow, willowlike, silvery gray leaves to 2 in. long. Small, very fragrant greenish yellow owers in early summer are followed by berrylike fruit resembling miniature olives. Can take almost any kind of punishment, including hot summers, bitterly cold winters, drought, poor soil. Doesn't do as well in mild winters or very humid summers. Good background plant, barrier.
E.ebbingei. Evergreen shrub. Zones MS, LS, CS; USDA 7-9. Hybrid derived from E. pungens. More upright (to 1012 ft. high and wide) than its parent, with thornless branches. Leaves are 24 in. long; they are silvery on both sides when young, later dark green above and silvery beneath. Tiny, fragrant, silvery owers in fall. Red fruit makes good jelly. 'Gilt Edge' has striking yellow leaf margins.
E. multiflora. CHERRY ELAEAGNUS. Deciduous shrub. Zones US, MS; USDA 6-7. From China and Japan. To 610 ft. high and wide. Leaves are 12 in. long, silvery green above, silvery brown below. Small, fragrant spring flowers followed by bright orange-red, -in.-long berries on 1-in. stalks; fruit is edible but tart, loved by birds. 'Variegata' has leaves variegated with gold, yellow, and cream; its berries are red.
E. pungens. THORNY ELAEAGNUS, SILVERBERRY. Evergreen shrub. Zones US, MS, LS, CS; USDA 6-9. From Japan. To 615 ft. tall and wide, with rather rigid, sprawling, angular habit. Long, naked shoots, some of them 56 ft. long, tend to skyrocket off in all directions, creating a Medusa-like appearance. Fortunately, these shoots can be pruned away (flower arrangers prize them) to give the shrub a neater look; it also can be sheared into a nice hedge. Grayish green, wavy-edged, 1- to 3-in.-long leaves have rusty dots that give them a brown tint; spiny branches are also covered with rusty dots. Shrub has an overall olive drab color. Small, fragrant, cream-colored blossoms appear in fall; the oval, -in.-long berries that follow are red with silvery dust. Tough container plant in reected heat and wind. Effective barrier plantingsgrowth is dense and twiggy, and spininess is a help, yet plants are not aggressively spiny. Will reseed.
The variegated forms listed below are more widespread than the species and have a brighter, lighter, and often startling look in the landscape; they are less hardy than the species, however, and may suffer damage in the Upper South. Be sure to cut out growth that reverts to green.
'Fruitlandii'. Large, silvery leaves.
'Maculata'. GOLDEN ELAEAGNUS. Leaves have gold blotch in center.
'Marginata'. SILVER-EDGE ELAEAGNUS. Silvery white leaf margins.
'Variegata'. YELLOW-EDGE ELAEAGNUS. Leaf edges yellowish white.
E. umbellata. AUTUMN OLIVE. Deciduous shrub. Zones US, MS, LS; USDA 6-8. From Himalayas, China, Japan. Spiny-branched plant to 1218 ft. high and wide, with an open, spreading shape. Elliptical, 2- to 4-in.-long leaves are bright green above, silvery green beneath. Small, silvery white, very fragrant flowers appear in mid- to late spring, followed by great quantities of tiny silvery berries that turn red as they ripen in fall. Fruit is tasty when fully ripe and can be eaten fresh or made into jam. Birds adore it and spread the seed, so be aware that this plant can be very weedy. Tolerates drought and poor soil. 'Titan' is upright and compact, to about 12 ft. tall and 6 ft. wide. Selections chosen for high-quality fruit include 'Brilliant Rose', 'Charlie's Golden', 'Delightful', and 'Jewel'. Plant is considered invasive in the Upper South.

Size Chart for Baby Hair Clips and Baby Headbands
Size Chart Summary for Baby Wisp® Clips and Headbands
Headband Sizing for Babies
We based our Baby Headband sizing on the baby girl's head circumference charts. Here's a link to see an example of a CDC chart percentile values we use in our measurements.
We modify length of the elastic based on the stretchiness of the band. Generally, the elastics are cut as outlined here:
- Newborn headbands have a circumference of 32- 34 cm
- 3 months plus headbands have a circumference of 42-44 cm.
If you want it to fit perfectly, you can actually measure your child's head and tell us the measurement so we can, in most cases, customize the elastic to fit! Just email email@example.com and let's talk about it.
3 Months Plus
|Blossom Crocheted Flower bands
|One size fits all
|Plain Woven band
|One size fits all
|2 in 1 elastic headband

I had a horrific case of it a few years back. I had to write myself back into it - not by writing fiction, but by sitting down every day and writing myself letters to remind me of the things I had already done, the areas where I'd succeeded, the abilities I had. Basically I had to teach myself that I was (somewhat) capable and competent, and that I still had the ability to write. It took a long time and was scary as hell. But once it was gone, it was gone. I still have days of feeling unambitious, but thus far, no more blocks (KNOCK MAJOR WOOD!)

You know me, Mia. My muse tends to hibernate/vaca when it feels like it. I call this writer's block as the desire is there by the words refuse to flow, no matter what I do. The only time I have been able to jump start it was the month of Nano2013, though quite a few scenes are out of order, will probably be re-written, or possibly dropped altogether. The need to post a daily word count was a great incentive, one I may have to institute year round in order to keep moving ahead instead of stagnating.
Love Capt.Hook. The actor is sexy, mysterious, a little dangerous, and he seems to be deliberately trying to seduce Emma, which her dad [Prince Charming] was not particularly thrilled to learn. He's a great inspiration for a hero. So now that I know who inspired your latest opus, you really do need to get over the block and finish the manuscript. Get moving, woman!! :)

Kris, what an awesome suggestion. Maybe that would help me, too. Thank you so much for sharing. You've always been such an inspiration.

Cheryl, thanks for your views, too! I'm so glad you were successful for NANO this year. Capt. Hook has been a favorite since day one on that show!!! I'm glad you like him, too.

Varun Dhawan INFORMED Virat Kohli before featuring his character in Dishoom!
Yeah so all is cool between Virat and Varun
Varun Dhawan and John Abraham have created ripples with their Dishoom trailer and we can't stop raving about it. We had exclusively told you that Saqib Salim has been roped in to play Virat Kohli in the flick. Well, Saqib's character appears at the start of the trailer and it is very clear that his role is indeed modeled on India's star cricketer.
Well, at the trailer launch the makers were asked about the same and the director Rohit Dhawan said that the character Viraj Sharma is NOT Virat Kohli, though inspired by him. Varun on the other hand said that he did mention about the film and Virat's role in the same to the cricketer when he met him at a sports event and he was all cool with it.
Essentially, Dishoom revolves around Virat's character. As India's best cricketer Viraj Sharma gets kidnapped and our hulky leading men John and Varun go on trail to rescue him. Jacqueline Fernandez will play the female lead in the movie.
Watch video and see Varun and Rohit's reaction on the topic. Also tell us if you have watched and liked Dishoom trailer. Are you excited to the same?

TRUDGED If you walked slowly as though your feet were stuck in mud, you trudged. Which would you trudge through: a pool or a swamp?
GUSHED When you were excited about something and talked a lot about it, you gushed. When would you gush over a puppy: when it obeyed you, or when it chewed your shoe?
FRUSTRATED When you try and try to do something and cannot, then you might feel frustrated. Would you feel frustrated if you couldn't open a jar, or if someone opened it for you?
IMITATED If you copied what someone did or said, you imitated him or her. Would you imitate a dog by taking it for a walk or by making a barking sound?
P LEASANT Something that is p leasant is enjoyable and makes you happy. What would the weather be like on a p leasant day?
COINCIDENCE A coincidence is when two things happen that seem to fit together but are not connected. If you and a friend wore the same clothes on the same day, would that be a coincidence ? Explain.
MODELED If you modeled something, you showed it so that other people could see it. Why would you see a costume being modeled ?
LOYAL Someone who is loyal stands by you in good times and bad. How would a loyal friend behave?
RECITED If you recited something, you memorized it and then spoke it out loud. When have you recited something in front of other people?
MURMUR When people murmur, they speak so softly that they can hardly be heard. Is it hard to hear something that is murmured ? Explain.

Tip of the Week: Give 'Em Fair Warning
Blog | January 9, 2017 | ASPCApro Blog
Working with shy and fearful dogs can be a challenge. Expert dog behaviorist Patricia McConnell, PhD, CAAB, suggests that predictability—knowing what's about to come next—is important to ensure a dog's sense of security.
If you need to touch an uneasy dog, it helps to give him a cue to allow him the chance to prepare for what is to follow. For example, before wiping a dog's paws, ask if he's ready. McConnell says that over time many dogs will begin to lift their paws voluntarily on your verbal prompt.
What techniques do you use to help dogs adapt to stressful situations?

Well, this is interesting. According to a report on TechCrunch, online shopping giant Amazon has bought Double Helix Studios, the video game developer behind games like the Xbox One's Killer Instinct and the upcoming Strider.
Why would Amazon go and do a thing like that? Well, they could just be getting more serious about the video game publishing business, something it's only dabbled in lightly before.
Or, you know, there's always that persistent rumour about an Amazon game console.

Did you look in the new black HSS manual from AISC? There are a lot of
shapes listed in there that are not found in the LRFD or ASD manuals.
They have even shaded the "special order" shapes to make it easy to
distinguish from standard shapes.

SCORM is an acronym for "Sharable Content Object Reference Model." It is essentially a set of technical standards developed for eLearning software products to ensure uniformity. SCORM mainly enables interoperability between eLearning software products. In the event your company decides to not have Compliance Training Group host your Learning Management System (LMS), you will still own the SCORM file containing the training material, which will work seamlessly with any other LMS you choose. Our courses are recommended to be viewed on desktop devices for optimal use. For a nominal fee we offer updates to the SCORM file every two years, including new legal updates, statistics, videos, and quizzes. For more information about licensing, copyright and proprietary rights, contact us. To learn more about SCORM file system requirements, please visit our LMS System Requirements page.
Successful eLearning platforms are nearly always developed with the usage of a SCORM, a collection of standards and specifications for web-based eLearning.
Development of the most successful eLearning programs require a combination of industry-specific software and instructional design. The best providers of eLearning systems have developed successful eLearning modules through the use of a Learning Management System (LMS), specialized software used for the delivery, tracking and management of the training module. These SCORM files exchange information between the content on the consumer-side and the run-time environment (normally called the host system), which is a common function of a LMS. SCORM also defines how content may be packaged into transferable .ZIP files for distribution. Under the best circumstances, an Instructional Designer, with expert-level experience relating to the module's subject matter, develops instructional tools and content to facilitate stimulating, interactive learning.
Compliance Training Group's new online training platform was specifically designed using SCORM to help employers control costs while remaining in compliance with their own organization's regulations as well as State and Federal requirements (in some cases both). Using a LMS eLearning platform can reduce costs by as much as half versus traditional in-person training.
Some things to consider when looking to purchase a SCORM file: Is the company reputable, licensed, do they meet the requirements of a "qualified trainer?" Will they stand up for you in court if necessary? Are their courses SCORM compliant?
For more information on SCORM compliant eLearning courses, contact support, or call (800) 591-9741.

88- The Book of Revelation (Chapter 3:2b) - Billy Crone
These videos on the Book of Revelation are an in-depth verse-by-verse study in the original Greek. They exist to offset one of the saddest trends in the American Church today, that is, a departure from the clear teaching of Bible Prophecy. You see, prophecy has a way of getting our eyes off of this world and onto Jesus for we see that this world is not going to last forever.

The son of Jack Hoy.. Gerald Cameron Hoy died on august 15th 2007. He had been down on his luck apparently for some time as was living as a transient in Laguna beach California. He had cut himself badly breaking into a homeless resource center during the night and bled to death on a couch. Unfortuatley he was an unwanted presence in his family's lives because my Uncle who saw the story in the local paper had to call the coroners office to notify them of next of kin. His Uncle David O'hoy ( he had changed his last name so nobody would associate him with his family) had him cremated and there was no funeral or notification of the other relatives.It is very sad to know this.
