"I received an offer from Kellogg's Family Rewards for address labels, which is what brought me here. I've never ordered from Shutterfly before, although I have always heard great things about the site from friends and family members. Shutterfly offers so many cute address labels that it was hard to narrow it down to just one! I found this design, though, and it was perfect. I was looking for something cute, but simple, that I could use year-round. I always mail out cards to out-of-state friends for different occasions (birthdays, Valentine's Day, Christmas), so I needed something that could work for any occasion. These were just what I was looking for. They arrived very nicely packaged & great quality. I will definitely be ordering from Shutterfly again!"
"I love the address labels! I have been purchasing variations of address labels through Shutterfly for years. This particular design is great for formal letters, cards and invitations. I highly recommend them, just be careful as to the colors you choose for the text vs the background as some of the lighter colors of text can be difficult to read."
"Very pleased with the labels-look exactly like picture and I received them quickly. Would definitely order again!"
"Great quality! I was very pleased when I received mine in the mail. Can't wait to use them."
"very nice design, not enough contrast for a quick read, liked the Asian look, which i wish there were more such designs available. Liked the colors and the size of the labels. the best thing was they were free!!"
Mother's Day is the perfect time to rekindle correspondence with the most important woman in your life. This year, go beyond flowers that can wilt and customize a unique set of stationery for the light of your life. Give her a unique gift with the promise to respond to each letter she sends and be sure to include her very own set of return address labels for a complete gift.
For a bonus gift, include a small book of forever stamps to help her easily keep in touch with all of the important people in her life.
In the same way that she knows every freckle on your face, you know your mother's favorite things. You can easily use Shutterfly to customize your gift of stationery with easy to use templates, feminine themes, classic designs and color options. The icing on the cake will be personalized return mailing address labels to complete this thoughtful gift.
Mother's Day is a great time to share some of those precious photos of the little ones—and what better way than with a creative photo gift? Work with your kids to make the perfect photo collage for Grandma. Letters are appreciated throughout the year, so consider designing some mix and match thank you cards for the little ones to remind Grandma how thankful they are to have her in their life. (Sending thank you notes is a great way to help children learn to appreciate the people in their lives). Photo coasters and journals are also special and personal gifts that remind all of the women in your life how important they are to you.
It is easy to forget to tell the people that we love just that – that we love them. Make the time and be sure to give Mom or Grandma a ring and just thank her for being there for all those big and small moments. Personalized stationery with matching address labels is a thoughtful gift that will have her smiling every time she writes a note.

Botox That Helps Breast Cancer
Princess 19 on 24 Oct 2011 at 9:00am
Would Breast Cancer Awareness prompt you to get Botox? One doctor seems to think so. So, he is having a "donate your wrinkles for charity" day.
California reconstructive and plastic surgeon, Dr. Jaime Schwartz created the "Rejuvenate for the Cure" event that is being held tomorrow at the Bright Health Physicians of PIH Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine Center in Whittier, CA. It is the first event of it's kind that we have heard of that donates proceeds from cosmetic procedures such as Botox or Juvederm injections to a mammogram fund that benefits women who would not be able to afford the important screening.
"Rejuvenate For The Cure" is a collaboration of many ideas," Dr. Schwartz told The New York Daily News.
"There are many breast cancer charities out there, but this one directly offers free mammograms to uninsured or under-served women," he added. "Given the economic climate and the amount of uninsured people in the US, many women are putting off getting mammograms and other preventative screening exams."
Dr. Schwartz ironically specializes in breast reconstruction for women with cancer. So, the goal in helping women - no matter what economic class - take preventative measures was always important to him.
Women can come into his clinic tomorrow and pay for injectables such as Dysport which were donated by various pharmaceutical companies to help with the Breast Cancer Awareness cause.
"Our hope is to take "Rejuvenate for the Cure" nationally," Dr. Schwartz concluded.
"It's a great feeling that someone in an affluent area could support a free mammogram for someone in a different under-served area by simply 'donating their wrinkles.'"
Well, this is one way of definitely "giving back" - and you'll get a younger looking face in return.
So, what do you think, readers. Is "donating your wrinkles" done as a worthwhile cause, or do you think this is just gimmicky ploy to attract new patients?

Film Review: Angels SingHere we go again with yet another Scrooge-like character becoming Xmas-happy/sappy in an unfortunate, non-returnable holiday offering.

Apologies in advance: Angels Sing, a desperately wannabe Yuletide movie classic just brings out the subversive contrarian in any critic. For me, it's the tragic story of one deeply misunderstood, unjustly persecuted man, Michael Walker (Harry Connick, Jr.), who simply doesn't want to put up Christmas lights. As he's just moved into the squeaky-clean suburb of Live Oak Lane in Austin, Texas—famed for its impressive annual display of holiday illumination—you'd think his independent mindset was a greater crime than pedophilia to his terrifyingly fascistic, lights-obsessed neighbors.
Michael, you see, is not only a modern Scrooge but comes equipped with a wealth of baggage, starting with the childhood death of a brother for which he's he's always felt responsible. That's why he avoids family get-togethers like the plague, to the dismay of his perfect, loving wife Susan (Connie Britton) and ideal son, David (Chandler Canterbury). His father, the Colonel (Kris Kristofferson), is also a light freak, and little David desperately yearns to see Grandpa's twinkly exhibition. But then tragedy strikes the Walkers again, and this time it's David who feels guilty. And wouldn't you just know that, to heal all wounds, Michael has a freaking change of heart and, sure enough, is last seen joining in the happy throngs turning their homes into garish mini-Vegases?
Live Oak Lane's "Trail of Lights" was featured on a beloved Oprah Winfrey episode, and one can just imagine one Lou Berney going, "Aha!" It is he who is responsible for the script here, which director Tim McCanlies handles with as much loving care as any box of fragile ornaments. The early scenes promisingly show Michael and his immediate family as a very well-adjusted, good-natured and jokey bunch, whom community conformity ruthlessly rips asunder. Despite all past and future tragedy and festering family issues, the film is really quite a bland affair, with an unappetizingly sterile look to it. Michael and the Colonel's residential communities may as well be gated ones, for all the searing lack of diversity in them. It's a very white-bread world overall, with no minority or gay family members, in-laws or friends sitting at those pristine dinner tables. Oh, a few African-Americans do show up, and they are given those traditionally condescending, peripherally fleeting roles of "authority"—a doctor, a policeman—which are nothing more than cynically appeasing bit parts in uniform.
Someone, probably Connick, must have a well-stocked music rolodex—besides himself and Kristofferson, the cast is riddled with the likes of Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, Kat Edmonson, Dale Watson, Sara Hickman, Marcia Ball, Charlie Sexton, Miss Lavelle White and Ray Benson. Nelson has the dubious distinction of playing Santa in the form of an eccentric geezer, Nick (get it?), who basically just gives his big, beautiful Live Oak Lane house—with strangely feminine Martha Stewart décor—away to the cash-strapped Walkers. Weirdly, for all the talent on the screen, the film isn't very memorable, musically speaking. Do we have to hear "Amazing Grace" again, especially as indifferently sung by a probably bored Nelson here? Lovett, who plays a particularly creepy, enthusiastic zombie of a neighbor, duets with Edmonson on a decidedly off-pitch "Christmastime Is Here," and when Kristofferson sings it is apparent that his voice has seen better days, so it's a relief when the entire family quickly joins in.
Connick actually manages not to be sunk by this treacle and comes across as both highly likeable and movingly complex. He's also believable as a history teacher, railing against the commercial farce Christmas has become to a pack of disinterested students. It's a shame he and Britton aren't given a chance to display their musical chops, as that might have raised the level somewhat. Britton is completely wasted, and as you watch Connick in endless, chauvinistic solo scenes of personal doubt and torment, you have to wonder what the hell she's doing all this time in the rest of the house. The fancily monickered Canterbury dutifully widens his eyes to express extreme emotion. Kristofferson has some touching moments, but the accent of Fionnula Flanagan, as his wife, wanders all over the place, from British to Irish brogue before finally settling into a more appropriate, if overdone, magnolia-and-molasses affair.

Our Nordic banking roots run deep and for nearly 200 years Nordea has enabled customers to fulfil their goals and dreams.
Our family tree includes some 300 banks in the Nordic countries, founded from the 1820s onwards. In the 1990s we had become four banks one in Sweden (Nordbanken), Finland (Merita Bank), Denmark (Unibank) and Norway (Christiania Bank og Kreditkasse) respectively.
In 2001, these four banks created the foundation of the new banking group Nordea under a vision to bring the best Nordic ideas into one bank.
In 2017, we simplified our legal structure by changing our subsidiary banks in Finland, Denmark and Norway into branches of the Swedish parent company, Nordea Bank AB (publ), to better reflect the way we operate. A simpler structure decreases complexity and enables us to focus on delivering the best possible experiences to our customers. Our ambition with the transformation is to make it even easier for our customers to deal with us and at the same time leverage our expertise as One Nordea.
Today, we hold leading positions in corporate and institutional banking as well as in retail and private banking. We are also the leading provider of life and pensions products in the Nordic countries.
We are among the ten largest universal banks in Europe in terms of total market capitalisation and have around 11 million customers, 30,000 employees and approximately 600 branch office locations.

JEWISH SPIRITUALITY: A Brief Introduction for Christians
As the dust-jacket blurbs from Peter Gomes and Joan Chittister suggest, Rabbi Kushner's explorations of Jewish mysticism and spirituality have long attracted Christian readers. At last, he has written a book designed especially for Christians. However, it's not quite clear how this book's content differs from Kushner's other volumes (Honey from the Rock; Invisible Lines of Connection). Much of the content—the midrash about Reuven and Shimon crossing the Red Sea, for example, or the discussion of Torah as a "blueprint for creation"—will be familiar to Kushner fans; they are among his favorite motifs. The afterword does explain some of the differences between Judaism and Christianity: Kushner sketches a distinction between Jewish Torah and Christian nomos; he reminds readers that Judaism has no incarnate God; and he explains that Judaism is not a proselytizing religion. Christian readers may find some sections of this afterword illuminating, but they may take issue with other passages, such as Kushner's insistence that Judaism is this-worldly and Christianity is other-worldly. This short book is in many ways classic Kushner: the writing is felicitous, the spiritual insights often profound and the rendering of complicated kabbalistic ideas into simple prose (intelligible not only to Christians but also to Jews not steeped in Jewish text) praiseworthy. The book's flaw is also that it is too much classic Kushner—a promising project that recycles old ideas for a new, ecumenical audience. (Oct.)

It was the Picasso of offensive lines, except instead of noses where ears should be -- it was guards where centers should be and right tackles on the left side.
Before Sunday's game against the Broncos, Chargers coach Mike McCoy chose to activate just seven linemen -- a decision that may have come back to bite him given how two of them got hurt. Because while the offensive line may have been a Picasso, its performance wasn't exactly a work of art.
"Overall, I think we did OK, we just had a couple of breakdowns at critical moments of the game," said Chargers guard Johnnie Troutman. "You can't have that if you want to be a great team or beat a great team like Denver."
Early in the third quarter, San Diego lost left tackle King Dunlap to a head/neck injury. He would not return. Rookie right tackle D.J. Fluker was shifted over in his place, and right guard Jeromey Clary moved over one spot to tackle.
Later in the third quarter, the Chargers lost center Nick Hardwick to a stinger. Hardwick, who hadn't missed a snap all season to that point, would not return. Guard Rich Ohrnberger replaced him in the middle.
Given how San Diego's line has been in makeshift mode all season, the configuration of Sunday's unit wasn't altogether foreign. But seeing how three second-half sacks played a role in stifling late Chargers' drives, it's tough to say its execution was up to par.
True, players take reps in various positions all week in practice. But changing it up come game time? That's a little different.
"You know, to be honest, it's a challenge. Every time I go over there it's a challenge," said Fluker of moving to left tackle. "But you gotta be a gamer sometimes. This league is for the big boys. It's grown men out here. So I gotta put that outside my mind and go out there and do my assignment."
It's not that Sunday was a complete disaster for the line. One of the second-half sacks was largely due to quarterback Philip Rivers' lack of mobility, and there were some series in which he had plenty of time to throw.
But an early holding penalty that brought back a 39-yard run? An illegal snap by Ohrnberger in the fourth quarter? A false start by Clary minutes later?
You get the feeling that game film will be viewed solely for education -- not recreation.
"There are always things you can do better," Ohrnberger said. "We'll go back and take a look, but there are always things to improve."
Given makeup of Sunday's line, it was tough to pass blame its way.. It was just tough to give praise as well.

Whisky brand Crown Royal has announced that it is to end its sponsorship of the Roush Fenway Racing #17 driven by Matt Kenseth and reduce their involvement with NASCAR overall.

- Championships
- Forums

Crown Royal, the Canadian whisky brand owned by global drinks company Diageo, has announced that it is to reduce its sponsorship involvement in NASCAR and is to withdraw altogether from sponsoring the #17 Roush Fenway Racing car currently driven by Matt Kenseth.
However, the company will continue to sponsor the Crown Royal 'Your Name Here' initiative that allows a NASCAR fan from a military service background the opportunity to have their name as the title sponsor of the April NASCAR race at Richmond International Raceway.
"In evaluation of our NASCAR programming and after much consideration, we have made the decision to make a strategic shift to focus our resources," the company said in a press release. "In shifting our strategy, we will end our sponsorships with Roush Fenway Racing and NASCAR upon the conclusion of the 2011 season.
"We have developed strong relationships with the people at both organizations - they have not only been fantastic business partners, but have also become our friends. We thank them for working with us throughout the years to showcase the importance of our social responsibility initiatives.
"We look forward to a strong finish to the 2011 season and like the many fans we've gained along the way, we'll never stop rooting for the #17 car on its way to Victory Lane."
Crown Royal has been the main sponsor of Matt Kenseth's car since the start of the 2010 season, providing the funding for 18 of Kenseth's 36 annual Sprint Cup entries. Its parent company Diageo entered NASCAR after the ban on alcohol sponsorship was ended late in 2004, and has been associated with former Roush drivers Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray.
Losing Crown Royal is a huge blow to the team, as Roush Fenway president Steve Newmark conceded in a company statement following the announcement. "We are obviously disappointed with the news ... They have been a first-class partner all the way around.
"It's unfortunate that they will not be able to continue to be a part of our organisation," he said, before going on to add that the search for a replacement sponsor was already underway. "The #17 is an attractive, championship-winning program with a storied history and Matt Kenseth an elite driver. We have already opened the door for discussions and are currently in the process of speaking with companies interested in taking over the program for next season and beyond."
The company had already lined up clothing brand Affliction as sponsors for two of the non-Crown Royal events coming up - Saturday's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona and the mid-July Lenox Industrial Tools 301 race at Loudon, New Hampshire.
Roush Fenway recently managed to sign a three-year renewal of 3M's sponsorship of the #16 car of Greg Biffle in April. 3M have been involved with Roush Fenway Racing in NASCAR since 2005, originally with their 'Post-It' brand, and hit victory lane with the team for the first time just five weeks into their association. However, the most recent renewal was said to be for fewer races per season from 2012, reducing 3M's overall investment into Roush Fenway - although exact terms of the contract are inevitably commercially confidential.
The team also has to worry about renewing the backing of another major backer, the international shipping company UPS that is the primary sponsor of the team's #6 driven by David Ragan, which is also set to expire at the end of the current season.
And the team also have to negotiate with medical insurer Aflac who are the main sponsors of Carl Edwards' #99 car. Despite being the championship leader, the sponsorship backing for Edwards has been thought to be particularly soft and at risk in the current depressed economy, and has led to rumours that Edwards might be drawn to sign for Joe Gibbs Racing to drive the #20 car, which comes with one of NASCAR's most secure sponsorship backing arrangements with The Home Depot.
The Home Depot is particularly keen to have a car that can compete with that of their arch business rivals Lowe's, which sponsors the #48 car of Jimmie Johnson that has won the Cup championship for the last five consecutive years: bringing in the championship leader (and current favourite for the 2011 championship) Carl Edwards to race the #20 at JGR under their brand would be a particularly effective way for The Home Depot to achieve this.
With the clock ticking to re-sign UPS, find the money to retain Carl Edwards and now to replace Crown Royal, the business and financial pressure is definitely on Roush Fenway.
As well as the sponsorship of the #17 car, Diageo also has a sponsorship deal with NASCAR itself and the company confirmed that this too is to end after the current season. However they were keen to stress the continuation of the popular 'Your Name Here' program.
Crown Royal said that this had "provided NASCAR fans with an experience that is unrivalled in sports and in recent years has shed light on some of the remarkable military servicemen and servicewomen who proudly serve our country," adding: "We look forward to elevating this program as well as continuing our presence in the sport through an experience that our fans have grown to love."
However, it's not certain whether the 'Your Name Here' event will continue to be held at Richmond International Raceway or whether it will switch to a different venue or calendar slot.
This year's winner of the 'Your Name Here' program was United States Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Matthew Hansen and also his twin brother Daniel who had been killed in action two years previously. At the end of the evening, the 'Your Name Here' race this year therefore awarded the Crown Royal Presents the Matthew & Daniel Hansen 400 trophy.

MARYVILLE, TN - Anthony Nicholson from Bartlett, Tennessee, stormed by early race leader Danny Smith on lap three of Saturday night's 30-lap USCS Outlaw Thunder Sprint Car Tour main at Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, TN and took command of the race from there, driving away to his first win of the 2014 season despite a late-race caution. It was Nicholson's career fourth USCS feature win.
"Man, this means a lot," Nicholson said in victory lane. "We had an awesome race car tonight, and once we got by Danny there right before the caution, we were cooking. The car was so good out front that I could work through traffic well. What an awesome night."
Danny Smith survived a 10 lap duel with Terry Gray just past halfway to claim the runner-up spot. Gray completed the podium in third place.
Morgan Turpen charged from a 12th place starting position to finish fourth in the main event one night after her car was nearly destroyed in an opening lap crash on Friday night at the 411 Motor Speedway. Lance Moss, who was in the same crash with Turpen on Friday night, completed the top five drivers at the finish.
Eric Riggins, Jr., Brandon McLain, Greg Merritt, Terry Witherspoon and Bob Auld rounded out the top ten.
The feature was slowed early by a handful of caution periods, with Terry Witherspoon losing the lead to Danny Smith on lap two before looping the car in turn 4 and stalling at the base of the corner. On the ensuing restart, Nicholson surged into the lead on the high side of turn 2 before the caution flew for Riggins' stopped his car on the front straightaway. Riggins' flat tire came while the Charlotte native was running fifth.
Once Riggins' car was re-fired after a tire change, the field formed up again and the race's most serious accident occurred on the backstretch when Turpen and Freddie McCall, Jr. made slight contact which sent McCall flipping violently down the backstretch and into the entrance of turn 3. The force of the crash dislodged the motor from the car, but McCall climbed out of the car under his own power with no injury.
From there, Nicholson blasted away from the field and was unchallenged the rest of the night despite the late-race caution for the stalled car of Shawn Murray in turn 4.
Danny Smith kicked off the evening's action by winning the six car, six-lap Hoosier Speed Dash. Nicholson then came from sixth to win the first heat, while Terry Gray took the checkered flag in the second heat. After Nicholson pulled a four in the inversion draw, Terry Witherspoon grabbed the K&N Filters Pole Position.
The next event for the United Sprint Car Series Outlaw Thunder Tour is the kickoff for the 9th annual USCS Sprint Speedweek at Jackson Motor Speedway in Jackson, MS on Saturday, May 24.

Empowering Girls Through Media Literacy
Despite the strides made towards achieving gender equality in the U.S., the portrayal of women and girls in media and culture continues to promote and reinforce negative stereotypes and images. From television and film to magazines and marketing campaigns, girls are bombarded with messages that tell them how they should look, act, and who they should become.

NYCC 2008: Disney's Royalty and Robots – The "WALL•E" and "Prince Caspian" Panel
Disney conquered the mammoth IGN Theater at New York Comic Con with a panel to screen their two newest films: Disney/Pixar's WALL•E, and Disney/Walden Media's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. If audience reaction is any gauge, Disney is going to have two more hits on its hands starting in May, although it must be said that the fans at the panels at this year's New York Comic Con seem wildly enthusiastic about everything.
I ended up in walking into the panel late, as a Disney representative introduced several sequences from WALL•E. The earliest two scenes showed the dingy, hard-working WALL•E meeting the slick, modern robot Eve and taking her back to his trailer to introduce her to the wonders that he's salvaged from Earth. All these scenes play out to no dialogue other than assorted clicks and chimes from WALL•E and Eve, both of whom still manage to be enormously appealing and engaging characters. The next scene shown depicted the rocket launch that's seen in the trailers, followed by some beautiful shots of outer space that deliberately slow the pace. Things pick up again once the rocket docks with a spaceship, and WALL•E playfully antagonizes a tiny cleaning robot named MO. The last clip shown featured WALL•E jetting around in space, using a fire extinguisher as a makeshift rocket. This sequence was notable for featuring Sigourney Weaver as the voice of the ship's robot, which was intended as a wink to the first Alien movie.
It's probably not quite accurate to say that all these scenes play out in silence, since they are all accompanied by a wonderful score by Thomas Newman that beautifully accents both science-fiction epic scenes and small, quirky, and more intimate ones. After the last clip rolled, the Disney representative noted that there is a little animated sequence that will run as an epilogue over the end credits, and that composer Newman would be joined by musician Peter Gabriel for the music for this epilogue. Gabriel worked closely with Newman to score this sequence to ensure that it will fit in the movie.
Andrew Stanton's directorial debut for Pixar was Finding Nemo, which generally ranks somewhere in the middle of most Pixar fans' favorite films from the studio. I expect that WALL•E will probably vault over Finding Nemo in those lists, though, since WALL•E seems to have the same level of heart and emotion, but also mates it with some beautifully realized physical slapstick and delightful character animation. The fact that it's all done almost entirely without dialogue makes it even more impressive. A new Pixar movie has always been something to get excited about, but WALL•E looks to be a real winner.
Next up was the world premiere of the newest trailer for Prince Caspian. It seems to promise more epic fantasy in the realm of Narnia, as the Pevensie children return to Narnia only to find that their one year's time on Earth has translated to 1,300 years in Narnia. The world is in ruins, and the trailer promises much grand-scale mayhem as things are set right. Disney said that the new trailer will run before Iron Man in May, and then appear in high-definition format on IGN.com.
After the trailer was run, producer Mark Johnson was joined by three members of the cast: Ben Barnes, who plays the title character; William Moseley, who plays the eldest Pevensie child Peter; and Peter Dinklage, who plays the reluctant hero Trumpkin the Red Dwarf. Johnson stated that the filmmaking process was an incredibly long one, and that director Andrew Adamson had even asked him if he really wanted to produce another one after the grueling production of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Still, Johnson went along with it, saying that the passion that the fans have for the series is both heartening and intimidating, and that he just wanted to make sure that they stayed faithful to what people love about the series. He did also add that they are going to start filming The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in October this year, and that the movie is scheduled for release in May 2010. In response to a question, Johnson noted that one thing he likes about the Narnia series is that it has several built-in cast changes, and no two of the movies will take place in exactly the same spot, with the Narnia landscape giving way to oceans and islands for Dawn Treader.
|(l to r) Mark Johnson, Peter Dinklage, William Moseley, and Ben Barnes
In response to a question from the audience about the action sequences, Moseley said it was a dream come true to return to Narnia, and detailed an insane stunt sequence that he insisted on doing himself. However, he loved doing the action sequences and doing the phyical side of the role, calling it "gnarly" (and, unfortunately, proving that some words don't sound better when spoken in an English accent). Barnes added that he loved the physical part of the role because, "we're the good guys. That means we never lose." Dinklage quipped, "I enjoyed watching (these two) be physical," and then paused before adding, "That sounded completely wrong…" to a big laugh from the audience. Dinklage did get physical on his own, though, in the 3 hours of prosthetics work he had to endure every day to prepare for filming. However, he felt it was all worth it, saying that he'd look in the mirror when the makeup and prosthetics artists were done and think that half his work was done for him.
Another audience question involved the improvements in visual effects between the first film and the second. Johnson noted that director Andrew Adamson comes from an animation and visual effects background, meaning he has a real understanding of how effects work and how to use them effectively in a story. Their effects crew is returning from the first movie as well, and Johnson feels that their work is much more natural and believable than it was in the first movie. He said that they were careful not to make the same mistakes as they made on the first one, although he joked that they probably just made different ones.
The first Narnia movie was very well received by fans of the book, despite the additions and edits made to the story. Judging by the reaction at the con, those fans will have plenty to cheer about when Prince Caspian hits theaters in May.

BELGRADE – Crown Prince Aleksandar II and Crown Princess Catherine rejected as false all the charges on their account rendered by Nebojsa Ognjanović, father of late Tijana.
The Royal couple announced law action for falsehoods in connection with this case, which has intrigued the public for days because Ognjanovic family refuses to communicate the details of the money raised and spent for Tijana's treatment at the Children's Hospital in Houston.
"Bearing in mind that this negative media campaign being waged against the royal family based on the placement of false information and unfounded allegations and a violation of a basic human rights, the royal family is required to consider taking legal steps to protect its reputation and allow everyone to hear the truth," says a statement issued by the office of Aleksandar Karadjordjevic, which appeals to the state authorities to investigate all the details related to the case of Tijana Ognjanović and publish to public the right information.
Earlier, Tijana's father Nebojsa Ognjanović accused over certain media Princess Katherine that she pressured him not to pay the costs of Tijana's treatment to the hospital in Houston after the child died, but to transfer money to Pediatrics Clinic in Belgrade, which he refused.
I don't understand what Ognjanovic's are doing – Sergej Trifunovic
Sergej Trifunovic, who participated in the campaign to raise the money for the surgery of now late Tijana Ognjanović, revealed that the girl's father Nebojsa Ognjanović refused to forward the remaining money to another ill child.
The actor, in a talk show "Bulevar" on TV B92, recounted in detail why he ended his contact with the parents of the child that united Serbia and the world in humanity.
"Doctors have agreed to operate for $500,000, with the condition that additional $200,000 be paid when money is raised. At that time we already had collected $1.6 million. Then I called Nebojsa Ognjanović and asked him to transfer part of the money for Ljubica Adamic, at least 50,000 euros ($67,000). He told me that he had an account with a specific purpose and that he can not raise money because it is intended solely for the cost of treatment.
Then I asked him whether he wants to be at the forefront of the fund that was intended for the treatment of seriously ill children. I said because of the good karma, to help other children because of their child. He refused to even just formally become the head of the Fund," Sergei said.
"Since the action was still ongoing, and there were three children waiting for help, I asked him to publish to media that enough money is collected, to thank to all those who participated in the campaign and invite everybody to continue to give the money to other ill children. He said nothing to that, he did not answer to me anymore nor respond to the messages, even though before that he regularly answered to my calls. I was very upset because I think it's very selfish," said Trifunovic.
He added that next day he received the call from Katarina Jakovljevic, The Royal family PR, who asked him "with a voice of homeroom teacher" does he have a problem with Ognjanovic family.
"I think they're angry because I published that Ognjanovic's collected enough money for Tijana's surgery, as Ognjanović didn't want to do that. Katarina Jakovljevic said it was irresponsible on my part," Trifunovic said, adding that the last time he tried to contact Tijana's parents was in April, but they never returned his call.
"For me Tijana was Josip Broz Tito, she managed to unite people. Action was from Sydney to Pristina, I know Albanians who gave money to Tijana, my friends from Zagreb and Split gave money, Muslims in Mostar have teamed up and made the action, they rounded up some 3,500 euros for her," Sergej Trifunovic said.

Does the Assemblies of God accept more than one Bible translation?
The Assemblies of God recognizes value in and accepts the usefulness of several Bible translations. One of the strengths of our Fellowship has always been a strong commitment to the authority of the Bible as the fully inspired and inerrant Word of God. We believe the Bible is a true guide and judge for all beliefs, practices, and experiences of believers.
The Bible has always been held in high respect by Assemblies of God leadership and members. Our commitment to the inerrancy and infallibility of God's Word rests on the ancient manuscripts transcribed from the original autographs first written by the holy men inspired by God to record His words to the human race. Although we acknowledge that the divine inspiration has carried over into translations from the ancient manuscripts into modern languages such as English, we do not claim any translation to be completely free from errors of detail.
Admiration and use of the Authorized Version, popularly known as the King James Version (KJV), was quite uniform until the flurry of new English-language translations began appearing in the 1940s. At that time there was considerable alarm over the Revised Standard Version (RSV) because it appeared to water down cherished core beliefs about the person of Christ. To this day neither the RSV nor its NRSV successor has been well received in the Assemblies of God. More recently an Evangelical publisher acquired the rights to the old RSV text and subsequently commissioned a committee of Evangelical scholars to remove the liberal bias of the RSV. The improved translation, the English Standard Version (ESV) was published in 2001.
For a time, many felt that clinging to the King James Version, rather than using the newer translations, was essential to our faith. However, in succeeding decades, a number of very good translations have appeared. The New International Version (NIV) is a good example, although a later modification, the TNIV, has raised some concerns over gender specific words. An Assemblies of God scholar served on the editorial committee of the 1973 NIV.
Many of the newer translations have attempted to provide today's English reader with as literal a rendering of the original Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament) writings as possible. In doing so some have sacrificed the literary beauty of the King James for a clearer meaning of Scripture. The new translations bring increased clarity to God's Word by (1) essentially providing a more accurate translation of the ancient manuscripts, and (2) by communicating God's truth in language that is more easily understood by today's readers, and thereby is more effective in impacting today's culture.
We can fully appreciate the limitations of the King James Version translation committee in the years of scholarly work before 1611. They worked from 14 ancient manuscripts, whereas more than 5,000 manuscripts are available to modern-day translators. Even with this seeming handicap, the King James Version has proven a surprisingly resilient and useful rendering of the Bible. Even through its own subsequent revisions, the King James translation has shown itself to be a wonderful communicator of the truths of God.
One last consideration we must acknowledge in Bible translations is the issue of language. Modern languages such as English are "living languages" that often shift and change with new meanings given to old words. This is especially true in American culture, where English speech and the written word are especially dynamic, ever changing according to geographic regions, ethnic cultures, social classes, and time periods. That simply means we do not speak the same language/dialect as our parents spoke. Our children don't speak the same language/dialect we do. Though we understand the words others speak, we bring to their meaning our own cultural backgrounds. The important fact is not that we speak the same words; it is that we believe and practice the same truth, living our lives according to the eternal Word of God. As messengers of the Good News, Christians should seek always to keep the Word of God understandable by making it easily accessible (readable) to every generation. Paul said: "In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ" (Ephesians 3:4, NIV).
Today it is safe to say that other translations besides the King James Version have found a well-deserved place in many Assemblies of God homes and churches. Some of these are the 1973 NIV, the New King James Version (NKJV) and the New American Standard Bible (NASB). These, like the King James Version, are produced by committees of scholars. Of course, all versions have strengths and weaknesses. To simplify the choice of versions in curricular materials and National Office publications, the Assemblies of God has officially approved two versions: the King James Version and the New International Version. Other versions are also quoted, but their use is always identified after the quotation.
We must realize the most important issue in the translation discussion is truth. The church must never be afraid to unveil barriers that bar us from the ultimate truths of God. We must realize that by further reducing barriers, whether by improved language or by heightened accuracy in translating the Scriptures, we will find ourselves more effectively connected to the revelation of truth, and ultimately closer to God.
One of the results of the publication of many fine contemporary translations is the effect of those various translations on corporate Bible reading by church congregations and memorization of Scripture by our children. It is no longer safe to assume that all members of the congregation have the same version so that they can experience the power of a congregation reading passages of Scripture together. Some churches have solved this problem by using readings in the back of a hymnal or asking members to bring a particular translation to church for congregational group reading. But we must never let the Bible fall into disuse because we do not give it high priority in the worship experience. Likewise, Sunday schools can choose a translation that is used for memorization purposes. In any case, the choice of a particular version should not be allowed to denigrate other good versions. An excellent practice for personal Bible study is the comparison of different translations.
Another concern is a tendency by some to equate paraphrased Bible translations as scholarly and accurate. Such versions do have a place in comparative study. They are attempts to make meaning clearer by adding explanatory comments into the text. Paraphrases include The Contemporary English Version (CEV), The New Living Bible (NLB) with 4th grade reading level, and The Message: the Bible in Contemporary Language. These versions can be helpful, but they also present the risk of personal interpretation seeming to be part of the original text. Paraphrased Bible translations should always be used along with one or more of the more literal translations for comparison.
Finally, many of the respected translations are published as study Bible editions including commentary notes on specific passages of Scripture. Although the study notes can be helpful in understanding the meaning and application of particular verses, they do not have the same divinely inspired and inerrant qualities that are part of plain Bible texts. Interpretations can enter here as they could in the paraphrased versions. A Pentecostal study Bible appreciated in the Assemblies of God is The Full Life Study Bible: An International Study Bible for Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians.
With these cautions in mind, our task is to encourage all Christians to develop the habit of consistent Bible reading and study. Since the Bible is God's Word to us, we should take the time to listen to His voice that faithfully comes as we read with open hearts and minds.
The above statement is based upon our common understanding of scriptural teaching.

One would think that the Sandy Hook tragedy would have exposed the fallacy of school lockdown safety. Apparently, it hasn't. If there was an incident when I attended middle school and high school, all students were immediately evacuated out of the school and into the parking lot. The thought being that if there was a bad guy inside, all students should be outside.
It's now preferable to entrap the children into an inescapable room, where they are all vulnerable to slaughter, just like Sandy Hook. Lockdowns like we saw in Connecticut ensure large scale carnage. It seems to me that school administrators want to do the worst thing possible rather than be accused by the politically correct of not doing enough.

A 12-week entrepreneurship program for Aboriginal youth in Timmins has given them the tools and confidence to contemplate starting their own businesses.
Run by the Nishnawbe Aski Development Fund (NADF) and funded and supported by the federal government and other public and private partners, the program was geared to urban Aboriginals between the ages of 18 to 29. The last session was held in December of last year and about 25 people were enrolled in the program.
"If we had room and others showed an interest, they weren't turned away," said Kimberley Bird, senior business development advisor with NADF. "The way the program was set up was to eliminate barriers for the participants. We offered a meal, child-minding services and mileage for those travelling from neighbouring communities."
The program involved a series of workshops covering different subjects held once a week from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The first few sessions pertained to identifying what an entrepreneur was and letting the participants see if they had the skills and mindset to run their own business. Other subjects ranged from marketing to procurement.
"We hired facilitators from the community to run the workshops so it brought a good dynamic to the program and a different point of view," Bird said. "We also had mentors, who they could make appointments with, to get some feedback or obtain more information," she said. "Some of the participants are in business and they want to take the next step while others are planning to go ahead and start a business."
The program was sparked by a study done a few years ago on the number of First Nations businesses in Timmins and Sudbury. Despite having a higher Aboriginal population, Timmins had fewer established businesses owned and operated by Aboriginals.
"We don't know why but perhaps it could be because Sudbury has more people and a bigger market," Bird said.
Michelle David has plans to launch an online business and accompanying showroom, and she said the program was very helpful.
"I enjoyed meeting and listening to the facilitators and I learned a lot from them," she said.
Although she is keeping her plans to herself until the enterprise has launched, she has been busy tweaking her business plan and has bought a domain name.
"The seed to be an entrepreneur has been planted for awhile," she said. "But you tend to fall in love with every business idea you have, but then reality sets in. You need to have a niche or something that is in demand."
She is eager to start her business but wants it "done right and everything perfect."
"It was great to get the help offered through the program and it is like my baby right now. I am getting close to having the final draft of my business plan done and registering the business.
"I am excited but I realize it is not a game and I will be dealing with real money and interest rates, so there is also a lot of nervousness."
David is also completing a bachelor's degree in psychology that she has been doing online over the years.
The last session of the program entailed participants making a presentation to the other students about their business ideas.
"What was most rewarding for me was seeing that other people got excited about my plans," she said. "I am often my own worst critic."
Bird hopes the program can be offered again some time in the future.
"We didn't know what to expect when we first organized it but we are happy with the response," she said. "We have given them some tools to show them what to expect."

Re: Cracked Fly Line

Without making any public announcements, Rio has been having this problem with the Rio Gold fly lines cracking and breaking at the loop and in the body of the line. I have had two Rio Gold lines (WF4F & WF5F) break at both the loop and in the body - Rio was also very nice to me and agreed to replace the lines immediately (although I did have to wait about 4 weeks on the WF4F due to ongoing manufacturing problems). The last time I sent the line in to be replaced, the customer service rep admitted that they had been having some problems during the initial manufacturing runs of the Gold line, but that they believed that they had resolved those issues.
However, the replacement lines don't seem to be any better; after fishing for a couple of weeks this spring I noticed that the WF5F line already has the same break (again) about 2 ft up from the loop. I have already had this Rio Gold WF5F line replaced twice by Rio, the first time when the loop broke (on the 4th day I used it) and the 2nd time when the line broke just about where ddombos2 reported - right where the end of the double-line portion of the welded loop ends.
I have used other Rio lines in the past (Rio Grand) and have never had any fly line (SA, Cortland or Orvis) cut or break as easily as the Rio Gold. I have seen several reports in other forums where folks have reported that the outer surface of the Rio Gold is simply too soft and will not hold up to even a minimal amount of usage.
I believe I will (again) just cut off the line at the break and re-nail my leader butt (Amnesia line) and continue fishing it. I am not going to ask Rio to replace it for a 3rd time - seems to be a lost cause. After I get a couple more years out of the line I will replace it with an SA line or something else that does not have the ongoing quality issues that the Rio Gold line has been having. I like Rio products, but their Rio Gold fly line is just a poor product!
BTW - all my use of the Rio Gold fly lines have been on medium fast rods, fishing spring streams for small to average trout, with a combination of nymphing and dry flies. These lines were not abused in any way. They just seem to lack basic good quality.
When were your Gold lines made? This was a 2010 WF4F with the rear welded loop. I've also got a 2010 Grand WF7F and a 2009 Gold WF5F. I hope these are not subject to the issue.
Incidentally, I've heard about SA lines having issues with the front loops breaking after some use, necessitating the loop to be cut off and the nail knot connection.

Blue Sky Riders "Finally Home For Christmas" on KOMO radio
The new Country group Blue Sky riders is out with a Christmas E.P. called Finally Home For Christmas.
When I recently spoke with Kenny Loggins, a founding member of the group, he told me they loved recording these traditional songs of the season.
He along with Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr produce some great harmony.
Take a listen to my Entertainment story that aired on KOMO radio and have a great holiday.

Coronation Street's Julie Hesmondhalgh has revealed she is giving away Hayley Cropper's famous red anorak when she leaves the soap.
The actress has made the tough decision to leave the soap after 15 years, and Hayley has been diagnosed with terminal cancer as bosses struggled to find the most fitting way to write such beloved character out of the show.
Hayley has worn her frumpy red anorak since she first arrived on the cobbles, and now Julie is planning to auction it off for charity when she leaves.
"I'm auctioning it off for the Meningitis Trust, in memory of a good friend of mine, Alex Williams, who was a young ambassador," she told the Daily Mirror.
But the 43-year-old actress has vowed to keep in touch with all the pen pals she has made since she took the role of transgender Hayley 15 years ago.
She revealed: "I've made quite a few pen pals, all over the country and I will stay in touch with them, and keep on writing to them, after I leave.
"I handwrite everything and I've got a dressing room full of special letters and photos collected over the years.
"I've been a little bit more relaxed about them lately but I'll have to find a place to put them all. I can't bear to throw them away."

New York, September 11, 2008—The New School's India China Institute (ICI) announced a new initiative to develop a unique trilateral curriculum with the University of Calcutta and Yunnan University in Kunming to redefine India-China interactions by creating a framework for collaborative study and research. The three-year initiative is generously supported by a $525,000 grant from the Ford Foundation.
"The India China Institute is dedicated to forging a new path of collaboration among the world's three largest countries and economies," said Bob Kerrey, president of The New School. "In keeping with The New School's legacy, this initiative will create a foundation for generations of social actors to lead a democratic discussion of our shared future. We are honored to have the support of the Ford Foundation in our efforts to ensure the accessibility of trilateral resources among the leaders of tomorrow."
The India-China Knowledge and Capacity Building Initiative will be administered by the India China Institute at The New School, an international hub for trilateral research, teaching and emergent networks, under the leadership of the institute's director Ashok Gurung. The project will work to rethink interactions between India and China by focusing on the historically marginalized regions of northeast India and southwest China. Going beyond merely security and area studies, the initiative will develop an interdisciplinary approach in which scholars and students will examine the unique social, cultural and environmental challenges these regions face.
"This initiative is designed to unlock the potential of collaboration amongst a growing field of scholars and their work," said Ashok Gurung, who is also a faculty member of the Graduate Program in International Affairs at The New School. "By building platforms for dialogue between and among these three countries, we empower a new generation to tackle global issues. Through these interactions, participants will learn from each other how their respective countries can build unique and effective solutions for the people of Asia's economic engine."
The initiative will focus primarily on building a trilateral curriculum of in-class study and field-based programs. Specifically, the three partner universities will co-design and co-teach a graduate-level course on India-China interactions, to be held simultaneously at each institution from 2009–2011. Each year, the course will be followed by an eight-week, field-based study program in Kunming and Kolkata where eighteen students (six from each country) will work together on a broad range of issues including local governance and infrastructure, human rights, economic development, conflict resolution, environment, etc. The field-based experience will allow the students to deepen their understanding of key issues and build the foundation for long-lasting working relationships.
In addition to graduate teaching, the initiative will also focus on widening access to primary and secondary materials on India, China, and India-China interactions that were previously available only in Chinese or Indian languages. As the initiative grows, the partner universities will benefit from additional expertise from educational and research institutions from India, China, and the United States, such as Yunnan Academy of Social Sciences, Peking University, CUNY-Baruch College, Delhi University, Centre for Policy Research (Delhi), Maulana Azad Institute of Asian Studies (Kolkata), and Sikkim University (Gangtok).
Established in 2004, ICI is emerging as the hub of an international network of institutions and activities that nurture conversations about India, China, and the United States and deepen our understanding of global processes. Made possible in part by a generous $10 million grant from the Starr Foundation, ICI is committed to analyzing major issues and trends in India, China, and the United States and helping leaders, managers, public intellectuals, and opinion builders in all three countries address key challenges through collaborative solutions. At the heart of ICI is a competitive two-year fellowship program. Currently, ICI's twenty distinguished fellows are collaborating on a broad range of projects to address the topic of "Prosperity and Inequality: Debates in India and China."

Located in the heart of New York's Greenwich Village, The New School is a center of academic excellence where intellectual and artistic freedoms thrive. The more than 9,600 matriculated students and approximately 5,300 continuing education students come from around the world to participate in a wide range of undergraduate to doctoral programs in art and design, the social sciences, management and urban policy, the humanities and the performing arts. When The New School was founded in 1919, its mission was to create a place where global peace and justice were more than theoretical ideals. Today, The New School continues that mission, with programs that strive to foster engaged world citizenship. The eight schools that make up The New School are: The New School for General Studies, The New School for Social Research, Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy, Parsons The New School for Design, Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, Mannes College The New School for Music, The New School for Drama, and The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.

text: Since a Marin County chicken tested positive for antibodies to West Nile Virus last week, the Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District is urging horse owners to vaccinate their animals, which generally are most vulnerable to the virus from July through October. "With the mortality rate in unvaccinated horses as high as 40 percent, we can't stress enough the importance of taking preventative measures against the virus," the district's scientific programs director, Piper Kimball, said in a press release. The sentinel chicken was part of a Novato flock that district employees test biweekly; three dead birds found in Santa Rosa this summer have also tested positive. Mosquitoes feeding on infected birds spread the deadly virus to other animals and people. Horse owners should be on the lookout for the following signs: fever, stumbling, muscle weakness and twitching, drooping lips or head, teeth grinding and hypersensitivity to touch or sound. Fans can be placed inside barns and stalls to deter mosquitoes, troughs and ponds can be stocked with mosquitofish, and standing water should be drained. Fly sheets, masks and leg wraps can help, as can equine-approved repellent. — T.E.

Tokyo - Myanmar's pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi will visit Japan from April 13 to April 19, according to a Japanese statement released late on Wednesday.
It will be her first visit to Japan in nearly three decades since her previous stay as a visiting researcher at the prestigious Kyoto University from 1985 to 1986, the Foreign Ministry said in the statement.
She is expected to visit Kyoto, to give speeches at universities, to meet Myanmar nationals living in Japan and to hold talks with Japanese political leaders, including Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Her visit will come as Japan continues to court newly-liberalised Myanmar as a trading partner.
Unlike many industrialised countries, Japan maintained trade ties and generous aid for Myanmar while it was ruled by a military junta, warning that taking a hard line could push it closer to China.
Tokyo has also gently pressed the country's leaders to listen to voices of those in opposition and the international community.
Since the end of military rule in 2011, Myanmar has made visible efforts to open up to the rest of the world and has lured international firms to start operations in the potentially lucrative market. - Sapa-AFP

The main difference, of course, from a similar Washburn-branded model of the same type is that the whole instrument is made from solid mahogany, even the top (which is more typically spruce). This gives the instrument a nice, balanced tone with a sweetened high end and tight bass -- and like other Regal-made nicer-quality mandolins from the time, it's quite loud and has great authority.
There were other various things, too -- the tuners had never been screwed down for stability so I had to drill through the plates and install some mounting screws for them, and here may have been a couple loose braces (I can't recall, really),
Suffice to say, I fixed everything up and now it's roaring once again. Unfortunately for the owner, at some point the mandolin had also been "oversrpayed" with a coat of top finish, so the original crackly old finish is underneath and I wonder how much of it really contributes to the sort of crimson red this mandolin is now.
The original tailpiece still has its nice cover!

Third Quarter Home Sales Figures Show Ups and Downs
Tuesday, November 02, 2010
Slow Recovery
Fueled by lingering economic woes, news of fraudulent investigations in the foreclosure market, and potential changes resulting from the today's election, consumer uncertainty appears to have slowed the market recovery that began in Rhode Island last year. Single family home sales and median price had been rising through the second quarter of 2010, but third quarter sales data showed a sharp trend reversal in the number of properties sold. Median price, however, has continued to show healthy gains, because the rate of lower priced foreclosures and short sales declined.

Two themes dominate Timeline: history and technology. History is a large concern in the novel as well. Both the historians and Doniger recognize the past as the root of contemporary culture. Johnston's comment on temporal provincials is that "if you didn't know history, you didn't know anything. You were a leaf that didn't know it was part of a tree." Crichton maintains the importance of knowing the past throughout the novel: "Yet the truth was that the modern world was invented in the Middle Ages. Everything from the legal system, to nation- states, to reliance on technology, to the concept of romantic love had first been established in medieval times." Even Doniger seems to recognize its importance at some level. He predicts that people will want to pay to experience the past. He may also be right in thinking that people do not want to see the truth behind our romanticized ideals about history. The past may not be glamorous or exciting at some times, but its importance is undeniable to any of the characters.
The danger of technology is a common theme in modern writing, and this is no exception in Timeline. Crichton creates his most frightening image in the cat Wellsey, who was used to test early quantum travel machines. The invisible transcription errors of a few trips have lead to " . . . a third eye, smaller and only partially formed. And beneath that eye was a patch of flesh, and then a protruding bit of jaw that stuck out like a tumor...
