Website Development
Merchant Services

Having this ability creates an infinite amount of opportunities with your business. We can help you navigate those possibilities to see which options are best you're your company.
Graphic/Multimedia Design
There are many specialties within the field of graphic design, including print design (design meant for printed media such as magazines and newspapers), billboard design, website design, electronic ad design (Internet ads), logo and branding design, and more. There are many jacks of all trades in graphic design, of course, but each of the specialties and media used in design are very different from one another. Website design, for instance, has many elements that are very different from billboard design – core elements like what the design is meant for, how it works, and how "artistic" it is. Most websites are not "artistic" in that they aren't heavy with art—it's usually subtle. Billboards, on the other hand, are "3 second" designs meant to convey a message in about three seconds' time. It is important to convey the message in an attractive manner so as to draw the attention of the viewer or user that moment he views our particular design and remains hooked and gribbed until they have gone through the entire website.
Business Consulting
A consultant also has an advantage of being an outsider, thus seeing things in a completely different light, which might not be possible for the owner or even the top management as a result of being too involved in the business. This different perspective may help a consultant to come up with unique solutions to old problems or even devise a completely different chart for growth. Business consultants usually bring formal frameworks or methodologies to identify problems or suggest more effective ways of performing business tasks. Business consulting includes management consulting as well as science and technology consulting. Consulting has ample advantages. It enables business units to gather a lot of information on the latest trends and developments taking place in the outside world and which assists them in designing their core strategies and policies. However, one has to exercise caution and care while seeking consultation for their business firms as there are very few genuine and bona fide consulting agencies which work in a professional and polished manner. There are diverse ideas and suggestions that one can get from business consulting which are aimed at expansion and growth of one's business. To sum it up, business consulting is an extremely important tool through which one can give different diverse dimensions to his/her business.
Video Presentations
Video Presentations today have come to form an indispensible part of video marketing. Many business firms now insist to have video presentations included in their websites. The reason is pretty simple. It is because of the growing popularity and unmatched quality of video presentation. It allows them to convey messages, information, data, and statistics in a much more subtle and interactive manner which other means are devoid of. Through Video presentations, it becomes easier to target a larger section of audiences and impact too is on a large population in an instant. The way you design your video presentation can make or break your business. It becomes very crucial to exercise precision and exactness since a marginal mistake can ruin their entire presentation and this may have a cascading adverse effect on the reputation and credibility of the firm. But having said that, one can underestimate or deny the diverse benefits video presentation comes with. It is a much faster and convenient way of publicizing and promoting the products and services offered by a business institution. It can be of immense help in streamlining the operations of a business unit giving it the boost and fillip it requires to stay afloat in the market.

Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimizations are one of our strongest fields. We have had over 11 years experience in Organic Search Engine Marketing and have mastered the field. There are many factor playing rolls in SEO, that you may not know about, or even care for that matter, but it is very crucial to the appearance of your website to potential customers on the internet. Organic Search is one of the most powerful forms of advertising, because of the directness, which leads to extremely warm lead clientele. Backlinks, reciprocal links, directory listings, Meta tags and content building are just some of the components of SEO that correctly produce the results customers are looking for. If you feel that your site needs more traffic from customers who are looking for your product, Organic Search Engine Advertising is the way to go. It is one of those activities that is meant to give many-fold advantages to our customer since more number of people viewing the websites is equivalent to more number of potential buyers and customers and more number of potential buyers means a tremendous increase in the revenue. Organic Search Engine Advertising is the way to the future. If you wish your business to establish a strong profile in the markets and diverse geographies then SEO is just the thing for you. It facilitates the flow of traffic on one's websites and makes the website appear on the coveted top positions on various elite search engines such as Google thereby making it more likely for the viewer or the user to visit that website.
Domain Name
Domain Name refers to the name of the website. Registering a domain name for the website is the first and foremost step towards building the website. The domain name brings the website to life. It is the domain name that provides identification to a website. It is important that the domain name should be easy and simple so that it is easier for the user to remember it. At the same time, it should reflect some information about the website. It should gel with the domain areas of the business so that the viewers or the user gets a slight idea about the firm or the business organization through the domain name of its website. It is unique and distinct. Setting up a domain name for a website is the initial step in the creation of the website. Domain names are quickly getting used up. There is a shortage especially when everyone wants a domain name that goes with the domain area of his/her business. However, even though if one is unable to find his/her required or preferred domain name, we can help them get a suitable and apt alternative domain name.
Hosting Space
It can be very confusing to know where to start when you are looking for someone to host your website, because there are so many different companies to choose from. It is like being on vacation and trying to choose just the right local restaurant – unless you know a little about the culture of the city, you are lost. However, with web hosting, if you know a little of the basics, then you should not have a problem choosing a reputable web hosting provider.
One of the first issues you will need to assess about your prospective web hosting providers and the amount of server uptime they guarantee. Most reputable hosting companies strive for at least 99% uptime. If the servers of hosting company you choose are consistently down, then you will lose visitors and traffic and of course income. Most good hosting companies have scores of satisfied customers, so be sure to check customer reviews and feedback. You should find these both on the website and by searching the internet.

I totally agree that the 280E is simply the best car in the world. I am just in the verge of buying one and after test driving it I can't get my mind off it.I currently own a 1978 200 petrol. Its good, but nothing compared to the breathtaking power and stability of her big sister the 280E I live in Kenya.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
Joplin's original trolley could soon be retired.
The city staff will ask the City Council on Tuesday to authorize the purchase of a new one that would replace the first Sunshine Lamp Trolley. It hit the streets on July 30, 2007.
The new vehicle would be similar in style, manufactured by ElDorado National. The cost is $390,115.
It runs the original route that links downtown to the Range Line Road shopping district and Missouri Southern State University. In response to ridership, the City Council approved an expansion to three routes at the end of 2008. Those routes serve southeast and southwest Joplin, particularly the medical district.
The green and gold color theme of the trolley was taken from the city's original trolley system, which ran from 1890 until 1937.
The council also will be asked to approve an agreement with Jasper County and the Joplin Special Road District to replace an intersection and bridge on North Schifferdecker Avenue over Turkey Creek.
According to staff documents, the bridge and intersection have been deemed inadequate for future use once the new interchange at North Main and Zora streets is in operation. The work would be a cooperative project, with Jasper County paying $1.4 million of the design, easement and construction costs. The road district would pay $100,000. Joplin would provide negotiations for easements, legal and bid documents, and guardrails.
A number of right-of-way purchases and temporary easements will be posed for future work to widen 26th Street and Schifferdecker Avenue.
The properties for which rights of ways and easements are sought and the prices to be paid for the Schifferdecker Avenue project are: 2718 S. Washington Ave., $16,250; and 2730, 2420, 2430 and 2618 S. Schifferdecker Ave., $24,000, $600, $500 and $400, respectively.
Those for the 26th Street project are: 2821, 2838, 2829, 2911, 2833 and 1631 W. 26th St., for $1,750, $2,300, $6,700, $1,000, $2,300 and $4,650, respectively; 2602 S. McCoy Ave., $100; 2531 S. Willard Ave., $2,100; 2602 S. Monroe Ave., $125; 2601 S. Cunningham Ave., $800; 2603 S. Monroe Ave., $100; 2528 S. Tyler Ave., $3,600; and the northeast corner of 26th Street and McCoy Avenue, $350.
When, where
The Joplin City Council meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 602 S. Main St. The council does not meet on its regular day this week because of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, though City Hall will be open today.

Three readers asked:
"How do you keep transitioning hair moisturized and supple instead of dry and brittle?"
"What do you do for transitioning hair that is extremely dry? Even with regular deep conditioning, co-washing and sealing in moisture with oils. What are good natural products that provide extreme moisture?"
Dry hair can be easy to fix or very involved and complicated. The most obvious reason for dry hair is that you aren't moisturizing enough, but if you feel like you moisturize enough and you are doing everything right then your dryness could be the result of bad product choices, porosity issues, an imbalance of moisture/protein and even a signal internal health issues. Because you are transitioning, you have to pay attention to and treat at least two very different hair types (maybe even more). Here are a list of questions you should ask yourself and resources on how to fix your hair woes."What is the best way to keep both hair types moisturized during transitioning?"
- Do I moisturize at least once a day? Know that curly to kinky hair and especially kinky hair is like a sponge. It craves moisture and that is what makes it different from all the other hair types. Read Hydrate Your Thirst-Quenched Ethnic Hair. You need to actively moisturize your hair daily with a good moisturizer. Most of the hair's oils are compacted at the scalp and the tighter your curl pattern, the more difficult it is for oil to reach the length and ends. This is one reason your hair could be drier than it was when you were relaxed.
- Does my hair need moisture or protein? You hair could be dry either because it's not getting enough moisture or because it's getting too much moisture and not enough protein. Read Protein Moisture Balance and Why Does Black Hair Need Protein Treatments and Reconstructors?
- Do I overuse heat? Step away from the heat. If you're serious about bring moisture back into your hair, you need to cut back on using flat irons, curling irons, hot air brushes, hot combs, blow dryers and other direct heat tools. Heat can boil the water already inside the hair shaft and cause it to rupture from the inside out, thereby increasing porosity. Also be aware of the effects of hot water on hair. Try washing in warm water followed by cold water rinses. Using cooler water will lock in moisture and sheen.
- Do I deep condition or do deep treatments weekly with nutritive products? Focus on the line of difference. Use the 15-10-10 Method and/or the Steam Towel Wrap. Choose a condition by paying attention to your porosity and protein/moisture balance.
- Do I know my hair's porosity? If you have high porosity hair, you may need to avoid oils, protein and humectants like glycerin and honey. Read Porosity. Use low pH rinses like Roux's Porosity Control or ACV to correct porosity issues on overly pourous/high porosity hair.
- Do I just need to clarify? Clarify your hair with an ACV rinse or clarifying shampoo or cleanser. Sometimes a clean slate is all you need. Remember to wash in sections for easy detangling and to prevent matting. Read Quick Tip: Dry Ends.
- Do I really pay attention to my hair? Notice how your hair reacts to certain products and take notes. What products and techniques are you using when you notice your hair is dry and brittle? What products/ techniques make your hair look and feel amazing?
- Am I eating well and am I hydrated? Be sure your diet includes a healthy dose of essential fatty acids and vitamins. External issues could be a sign of deficiencies in your diet.
- Do I need to see a doctor? If you feel your issues are severe, extreme or nothing you do can fix it, then see a dermatologist ASAP! There could be something they can prescribe or an internal issue they can diagnose and treat.
- Am I using the right products? Some products can dry your hair out. Learn to pay attention to ingredients when choosing products instead of looking at labels or just taking suggestions from other people. Just because a person's hair looks like yours, doesn't mean it is like yours. It's great to get advice from other people, but ultimately everything doesn't work for everybody. Use products that actually fix, repair and feed the hair and not products that just deliver a temporary fix. Read Best Products for Curly Hair (Part 1), Best Products for Curly Hair (Part 2).

Badgley Mishka Fall 2013
It is extremely rare where a collection can encompass so many ideas and still make it to the finale look as a cohesive unite. BM's fall collection was definitely part of this minority. Metallic modernism, elegant lace, and into Aztec gowns all brought together by an element that is hard to initially catch. While initially it could be seen that the general silhouette is the same, yes that is true, but the one feature that brings this whole collection together is the vibrant red lips on all the models. While the garments in this collection were works of textile art, this shows how vital styling is, because it this case it was the cohesion that brought this collection together. Hands down my favorite look was the finale gown. Gold and white, how could it go wrong.

While most metallic-trousered rock stars are known for swillin' Jack Daniels, Jose Cuervo, or maybe lighter fluid, White Gold--the dairy spokesrocker featured in recent glittery Got Milk? commercials--is changing all that by choosing milk as his cocktail of choice.
And now the golden-tressed, platform-soled, calcium-enriched fictional rocker is set to unveil a new 15-minute online rock opera, Battle For Milkquarious, on October 5. The epic mini-movie (imagine a whitewashed--pun intended--somewhat PG version of Velvet Goldmine or Hedwig & The Angry Inch) is being released in conjunction with "White Gold's Milkdonculous Giveaway" contest, in which California public high schools will be challenged to remake a scene from Milkquarious to win $50,000 in education aid.
Here's a little teaser from the flick, a scene that oddly brings to mind Aerosmith's spandex-clad battle in the cult Sgt. Pepper '70s movie and depicts White Gold duking it out against milk-sucking villains:
This is the dawning of the age of Milkquarious. Check out the full trailer HERE. And drink up!

this Hotel is great!!!!! Staff and service exceeded expectations. Just because the parking lot is empty during the day - doesn't mean they are slow. Book in advance.

Boston just radiates classBy
Jacoby Ellsbury wants $125 for his autograph. Ah, the scrappy underdogs strike back.
16 Comments»
$125 for the autograph of a guy who put up a .740 ops in AAA last season?
The only way I pay that kid for his autograph is if he's signing $100 bills. Even then I would not pay more than $100.
That radiating is coming off toxic waste in the Charles River. AND let me see that kid's autograph. . . I'll be able to do it for you for half that price & throw in 2 Xs for Ortiz & Ramirez. . ..
How much will it be worth in May when he's hitting 240 with no homers?
What does this have to do with Boston? This sounds like another unfortunate episode of an athlete looking for a quick buck. I love Ellsbury as a ballplayer, but sure as hell isn't the only one gouging the fans in the sleazy autograph business.
I'm reading this as it having something to do with Boston because the organization is permitting the 'gouging' as you refer to it to both occur and be publicized. This sort of behaviour strikes me as something the Yankees would put an end to. Case in point, when Mrs. A-Rod wore the offensive shirt to the Stadium, the organization spoke with her about it. Someone pointed this out in an earlier post in perhaps another Yankee blog, but compare what Ellsbury is doing to Joba providing signed baseballs to kids in New York doing well in school at the recent PAL event.
Players on all teams, including the NY Yankees, sell their autographs at shows. There's nothing illegal about it, and if players want to do it, so be it. I've never bought an autograph in my life and never will. And it's always good to hear players out in the communities helping kids instead of trying to make a buck off them.
You guys ever think that maybe he was doing it to pay the late fees on the apartment he rents from Alex. Just kidding!;) That's as low as it gets, using your (somewhat) celebrity status to exploit the people that are ultimately paying your salary anyway.
Buccholz probably swiped Jacoby's laptop from his locker. He needs the money from the autographs to replace it.
ahh. that joke will never get old.
Lol!=) I heard Boras is already working on his contract extension. In addition to his salary the Red Sox must agree to let him sell candy in the corridors of the stadium.=)
That's pathetic — who the hell would pay $125 for his autograph? There's one born every minute…
sounds like scott brosius. I went to spring training in 99 and saw about 15 games with my pops and he was such a douchebag (brosius, not my pops of course).
The best were soriano and mendoze, always willing to sign and schmooze with the fans even though neither spoke very much english. Brosius, before the games and after the games, wanted money for his autograph, a picture the cheapest, a hat a little more, a ball a little more and a bat the most. He did this to me at 4 games before i stopped asking.
From then on out I always called him scott douchebag ( i was young and uncreative at the time). He was a great third baseman but just a whole big bag o' douche as a person
The Bucky laptop jokes will always be funny.
The real dummy is the person who pays it.
true true good sir

Guide Review - HP EliteBook 2540p
February 20, 2011: As with people, sometimes first impressions of computer products can be very telling. Unpacking the HP Elite Book 2540p -- HP's smallest and lightest EliteBook (their higher-end business notebook line) -- I was impressed by how solid and strong the laptop seems. And, in fact, HP constructed this EliteBook to meet tough military standards, with a very sturdy magnesium-alloy casing and HP durafinish to resist scratching. (The display enclosure can withstand up to 300 lbs. of pressure!) The full-size keyboard is also spill-resistant and even has drains to protect from inadvertent spills (if you're ever gotten your coffee too close to a keyboard, you know how perilous a spill can be). The hard drive is protected from sudden drops or impact with HP's drive guard. In other words, this notebook is ruggedly built, designed to withstand all sorts of mobile or outdoor trouble.
With a 12.1" WXGA screen and weight starting at 3.38 lb., the HP EliteBook 2540p is also meant to be used on the move. Innovative features like the QuickLook 3 and QuickWeb make it easy to quickly access your Outlook data or a website when your laptop is off--you don't need to wait for the whole system to boot up. Just press one of the very cool LED buttons and you can get to the critical info you need in a few seconds (a big help for busy mobile professionals).
Other great features for mobile professionals in particular include a disk sanitation system to permanently destroy data on your hard drive before you dispose of it, remote management capabilities so your IT guys can help you troubleshoot any problems, and touchpad gestures for time-saving shortcuts.
I enjoyed typing on the chiclet keyboard and using the smooth touchpad and rubber track pad buttons. You could type comfortably on the laptop for quite a while (the extended battery provides 10+ hours of running time). I also liked the screen's matte finish. Although the display was clear, however, it seemed oddly not very bright, even when I had the brightness on at the highest setting.
Performance-wise, I found the laptop to be top-notch for business applications. The review system I received had an Intel core i7 Processor, 4GB of memory, and a 250 GB 7200 rpm hard drive--great specs. Video performance is about average, though, as you would expect from the integrated graphics card.
A nice thing about the EliteBook 2540p (and, indeed, most of HP's computers) is the customization options -- you can add a DVD writer in the upgrade bay, add a fingerprint sensor for extra security, use a docking station or add a second hard drive, preinstall a mobile broadband module, and more.
The HP EliteBook 2540p is one of the nicest business laptops that I've seen in a while, offering a nice mix of portability, sturdiness, and power -- obviously designed with mobile professionals and travelers in mind.

Cell and Molecular Biology
Track Representative
Robin Gutell
The Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Track is comprised of a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative group of researchers who are interested in biological problems that frequently involve the collection and analysis of large datasets, and who undertake
engineering and applied approaches to these problems. Some of the members of this track work closely with the Center for Systems and Synthetic Biology (cssb.utexas.edu) on mapping and analyzing interaction networks and signal transduction pathways. The members of this track are also frequent participants in a number of training or joint grants, including IGERT grants on Optical Molecular Biology or Computational Phylogenetics, an ARO-MURI on biosensor development, and a Beckman Foundation grant for microarray technologies.
Our commitment to interdisciplinary research is not only manifest within the Track, but extends beyond the Track as well. Interactions and collaborations with investigators from other Tracks are highly encouraged. Students who do well in this Track frequently demonstrate individual initiative in generating and executing projects. In order to craft interdisciplinary projects, students are encouraged to have more than one mentor during their graduate careers.
In addition to the global requirements of the Cell and Molecular Biology program that ensure that trainees have a strong grounding in the biological sciences, students must meet the following Track requirements:

Atlanta-based WebMD, the primary source of medical information on the Web, will cut 250 jobs in the coming month, as part of an ongoing effort to save $45 million per year.
The company will layoff 14 percent of its total workforce across all offices, a direct result of a disappointing third-quarter. As the Atlanta Business Journal originally reported, about half the employees at the company's headquarters may be affected. It is unclear which departments will experience the worst lay-offs, but early reports suggest it will be sales, video production, information technology and editorial. The cuts will cost the company approximately $8 million in its first quarter.
In an official statement to the press, the company revealed that it will also put into effect other "cost-saving actions" during the first months of 2013. We have reached out to a spokesperson from WebMD for comment.
The company is seeing a decline in advertising from large pharmaceuticals, its bread and butter. In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration has tightened regulations on how big pharma can advertise. In addition, WebMD is facing competition for these ad-dollars from a host of startups that offer consumer-friendly health information. Competitors include HealthTap, which provides patients with an online link to thousands of physicians, and Everyday Health, which provides medical news and information.
In November, the company announced that revenue had declined from $135 million during the year ago period to $117 million. Despite that traffic continues to grow (reaching an average of 107.2 million unique users per month and 2.56 billion page views in Q3), advertising and sponsorship income took a downward turn. At that time, CEO Cavan M. Redmond admitted that the company would need to adapt in an increasingly "challenging and changing" marketplace.
"Becoming leaner and more nimble will enable the company to extend our leadership in this highly dynamic and increasingly demanding marketplace," said Redmond, in a statement. "In addition, anticipated changes in U.S. healthcare will provide meaningful new opportunities to link the needs of patients, consumers and healthcare professionals to enable them to navigate their care. We are moving swiftly to implement these operational changes and new market initiatives."

Behind the 'Rights' Wall, Hysterical Activists

It's time to connect the dots: Decades of unjustified and unnecessary restrictions - pushed through by hysterical civil libertarians - paralyzed U.S. counter-terrorism capacities before 9/11. And despite the terrible price we paid for it on that day, the nation appears poised to repeat those mistakes.

Head of U.S. Army's Brain Testing Program May Be Subject to Sanctions for Partisan, Aggressive Rants Online
Lt. Col. Michael Russell may have violated the Hatch Act with comments he made on a Keith Olbermann fan site.
Online comments on a left-leaning fan web site allegedly written by the head of a crucial brain testing program for the Army are being reviewed by the service for potential violations of political and hate speech rules that apply to Pentagon employees.
Former Lt. Col. Michael Russell currently heads an Army program that assesses whether service members have developed traumatic brain injuries while at war, and was previously involved in the Army's suicide prevention program. The Army says Russell may be sanctioned if the service determines his messages online can be categorized as "hate speech," or if he violated the Hatch Act, a U.S. federal law that prohibits civil servants in the executive branch from partisan political activity.
[READ: Soldier at Ron Paul Rally Could Face Legal Trouble]
"You...are SCUM for supporting these thugs," reads one of the posts Russell allegedly wrote on the site in September 2010. The post was directed at another forum user with whom Russell appeared to disagree about the actions of the Bush administration. "I couldn't give less of a flying [expletive] what your syphilitic, blackened EVIL brain thinks about a god [expletive] thing. [Expletive]. Die in agony and then roast in hell."
Russell allegedly posted the messages in question on an unofficial fan forum devoted to news about liberal commentator Keith Olbermann, though users of the site often share and discuss other far left political news. KeithOlbermann.org, which was long maintained by Russell, has more than 3,000 registered members today.
Over the last few years, Russell allegedly posted regularly on the Olbermann fan site, first using the username "Michael," and later, "Lazarus." At times, he appeared to use the site as a platform to criticize the Army. In one post, he appeared to recruit people to work for him at his Army lab. He also allegedly went on the site to bash conservatives, an activity first noticed by the conservative site The Daily Caller.
[READ: Obama Outraises Romney Among Defense Donors]
The Army does "not routinely comment publicly" on personnel matters "regarding discipline," according to Army spokesman Maj. Justin Platt. But Platt, who has seen the messages supposedly posted by Russell, says that while the Army Medical Command "has insufficient information at this point" to determine if Russell will be sanctioned, the Army is currently reviewing the material on the site to "determine if further action or inquiry is appropriate."
If the Army does sanction Russell, it may be in part because his position affects the health of troops who suffer from one of the signature wounds of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And although Russell left active duty in November 2010, he was immediately rehired to the same job as a civilian, and he still holds that position today, the Army confirmed.
The so-called Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics, or ANAM, program Russell oversees tests service members on their cognitive brain functions both before they go to war and after they come back. The program is designed to identify troops who have developed traumatic brain injuries in combat. According to a report by the Government Accountability Office, more than 200,000 troops have been afflicted with TBI since the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq began after 9/11.
Russell was also previously involved in the Army's Warrior Resiliency Program, a suicide prevention program for service members, and recently authored a chapter for the Army on lessons learned from suicide prevention efforts.

While Platt notes that military members like Russell have the right to free speech, he says that the use of certain partisan political speech can be subject to sanctions under the Hatch Act. According to one provision of the act, civil servants "may not post a comment to a blog or a social media site that advocates for or against a partisan political party, candidate for partisan political office, or partisan political group."

As dutiful American consumers, we've been taught to believe that choice is good. To that end, the splintering of the automotive market into different niches (four-door coupes, small panel vans, high-riding hatchbacks, etc.) is a positive development for buyers. But while the range of total models from automakers has been increasing, individual variation within a given model range has seemingly been reigned in, from a drastic reduction in build combinations of light-duty pickups to the availability of engines and ala carte options in everyday vehicles. Standing in direct contrast to this trend, however, is the 2011 Ford Edge crossover.
Whereas the first-generation Edge has lived since 2006 with a 3.5-liter V6 as its sole drivetrain, the 2011 model will offer no fewer than three powertrain choices. For 2011, the 3.5-liter engine will live on as the Edge line's bread-and-butter, but it is being joined by Ford's first production application of a new EcoBoost 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo, as well as the larger 3.7-liter V6 for the popular Edge Sport. In the case of the 3.5-liter, it produces 285 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque, while the Sport's larger 3.7 Ti-VCT V6 delivers 305 ponies and 280 torques on 87 octane. Ford is not yet releasing power and economy numbers on the EcoBoost engine, but it promises "class-leading" fuel efficiency, noting that the new powertrain should eclipse the original 2006 Edge by some 30 percent.
Follow the jump to find out what else has changed for the Edge, as well as Ford's official press release.

[Source: Ford]
Where the outgoing Sport model was largely a trim-and-tape proposition, the new model has a better shot at living up to its name – not only because it offers more power than other models in the range, but also because it has standard paddle-shifters, bespoke suspension settings and those cartoon-proportion 22-inch wheels and tires. Incidentally, in case you were wondering, Ford promises that the powertrain will happily hover at the redline when in manual 'Selectshift' mode without upshifting, a common performance bugbear. In addition to the altered oily bits, the Sport receives the usual complement of performance cues including a blacked-out grille, smoked head- and taillamp units, chrome oval exhausts, as well as a brace of body color parts (door cladding, rockers and fascias).
The Blue Oval has begun to make a habit of surprisingly comprehensive refreshes, and not just with sheetmetal and powertrain choices. To that end, the Edge receives a new interior with massive improvements in available technology (MyFord Touch), design and material choices. Even though the Edge won't debut here in Chicago for a few hours, we've already had the chance to sit in its interior, and it represents a massive improvement, particularly the better integrated center stack. We still found a few discount touches (hard plastics on the tops of the doors and somewhat cheap-feeling power lock, window and mirror switches), but on the whole, we feel comfortable saying that the new accommodations will place the Edge at or near the top of the mid-size CUV heap, particularly in light of its massive options list.
We've always liked the Edge's useful size and modern looks, but handling could be a bit stiff-legged, particularly with the Sport model's larger wheels. Ford says it has not only revisited all of its suspension settings, it has incorporated new subframe mounts to improve handling and minimize NVH issues. We look forward to verifying Ford's claims ahead of its rollout into dealers this summer.
We'll have live images and thoughts from Ford's press conference later today, but in the meantime, you can pore over the high-res gallery and press release after the jump.

• Dramatic freshening of the 2011 Ford Edge and Edge Sport includes extensive exterior redesign, improved materials and craftsmanship on the interior, class-exclusive technology and new powertrains
• With available MyFord Touch™ driver connect technology, the 2011 Ford Edge crossover wraps an engaging package with superior craftsmanship, capability and performance
• Ford's advanced engine valvetrain technology – Ti-VCT (Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing) – helps Edge achieve best-in-class power and torque for an uncompromised driving experience
• All-new powertrain lineup includes North America's first application of Ford's global 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine, delivering class-leading fuel economy, plus the new 3.5-liter Ti-VCT V-6 with unsurpassed fuel economy and 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V-6 for Edge Sport
CHICAGO, Feb. 10, 2010 – Style and technology – the hallmarks of Ford Edge since it took the midsize crossover segment by storm starting in 2006 – come together in an all-new way, offering customers even more of what they love for the 2011 model year.
"Customers told us how much they like Edge's design and dynamic driving quality," said Mark Fields, Ford's president of The Americas. "We listened and made sure the new 2011 Edge delivers that and more – including fuel economy leadership, unexpected levels of quietness, a strong new design with quality materials, and MyFord Touch driver connect technology that will change how people experience their vehicles."
Customers made the Ford Edge the No. 1-selling vehicle in its segment in its first full year on the market, and more than 330,000 have been sold since its launch in late 2006. The 2011 Ford Edge now aims to redefine the segment with a wide-ranging scope of improvements.
"The new Edge demonstrates how a refresh at Ford has become more than just a few design and interior tweaks," explains Elaine Bannon, chief engineer. "We have taken every element of the Edge and completely reworked it, including three new powertrains, two new transmissions, a bold new exterior design and a completely new interior. If you add in our industry-exclusive MyFord Touch system, you have a vehicle that will continue to stand out above all the competition on the road."
Improved power; expected to be a fuel economy leader
In addition to delivering customer-focused technology, the new Edge also showcases Ford's impressive drive to bring new powertrain options to the customer. Both the Edge 3.5-liter V-6 and Edge Sport 3.7-liter V-6 use advanced engine valvetrain technology (Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing, or Ti-VCT) and clever control strategies to increase horsepower and torque to best-in-class levels. This beats competitors such as the BMW X5, Lexus RX350 and Audi Q5, all while delivering unsurpassed fuel economy of 27 mpg (3.5-liter V-6 highway).
The 3.5-liter V-6 produces 285 horsepower and 253 ft.-lb. of torque while the 3.7-liter V-6 delivers 305 horsepower and 280 ft.-lb. of torque – all on regular fuel. Edge's unsurpassed fuel economy is not at the expense of power and performance. For example, the 3.5-liter V-6 with Ti-VCT technology delivers highway fuel economy that is 15 percent better than the Nissan Murano but produces 20 horsepower more.
Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The SelectShift Automatic™ transmission is standard on the 2011 Edge SEL and Limited series, with class-exclusive paddle activation of the SelectShift standard on the 2011 Edge Sport.
In addition, the arrival of the new 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine in the months ahead will give customers still more choice and will deliver class-leading fuel economy with impressive power and torque.
The new EcoBoost I-4 will be mated to a six-speed transmission that will help channel the impressive performance from the new EcoBoost engine. With the introduction of the 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4, fuel economy on the new Edge will be 30 percent better than it was in 2006. Plus, Ford's newest EcoBoost engine will deliver on the promise of 15 percent fuel economy improvements versus the Edge's current 3.5-liter V-6 engine while offering the performance feel of a six-cylinder.
In all, the Edge will go from one engine and one transmission to three powertrains – all delivering what's expected to be class-leading or unsurpassed fuel economy and class-leading power and torque for a real win-win for the customer.
A more connected driving experience
New 18-inch tires, standard on the Edge SEL and Edge Limited, and new wheels that are one-half inch wider than the outgoing product provide a more engaging steering feel. Twenty-inch tires with new wider wheels are optional on the Edge Limited while the Edge Sport has class-exclusive 22-inch wheels standard.
Complementing the new tire and wheel lineup is a retuned suspension. Shocks, springs and stabilizer bars were adjusted to tighten handling. The shocks now feature a high-flow piston, which allows engineers to tune for both road loads and driving dynamics, without compromising ride for handling or vice versa. The result is a flatter response through turns and over hills while still providing a comfortable ride.
New four-wheel disc brakes provide enhanced stopping power. Key brake system upgrades include steel pistons, larger rear rotors, revised brake friction materials, revised brake booster gain and revised pedal ratios, all of which enable more initial bite and a firmer, more confident feel when customers press on the brake pedal.
The 2011 Edge offers several new brake-related features: Hill Start Assist, which reduces rollback on hills; Trailer Sway Control, which provides greater towing stability when equipped for trailer tow; Hydraulic Brake Assist, which provides greater braking force in emergency stops; and available segment-first Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support, which helps reduce speed and automatically pre-charges brakes and engages an electronic brake assist system to help drivers stop more quickly when the system detects a collision is imminent.
New subframe mounts enhance drivability, help reduce road noise
The original Edge set numerous benchmarks in overall quietness, and that tradition continues as the 2011 Ford Edge has better wind noise than many premium vehicles such as the Lexus RX350, Audi Q5 and Acura MDX. Both the front and rear subframe mounts have been upgraded, adding to the increased tunability of the suspension and improving NVH (noise, vibration, harshness). The larger rear subframe bushing's rubber volume was increased by more than 500 percent compared with the outgoing bushings, improving the isolation between the subframe and the body, which in turn helps decrease road noise.
Both road noise and wind noise are significantly decreased in the 2011 Edge because of improvements found throughout the interior and exterior, including powertrain. Here's a look at some of the other actions:
• Sound pack and acoustic glass: A more absorptive sound pack is found throughout the interior, which reduces high-frequency noise more effectively than material that acts merely as a barrier. The result is an improved articulation index, which measures how easy it is to hear and understand someone in the vehicle. The 2011 Edge also features an acoustic headliner, and the microphone for the SYNC® system has been relocated so it is closer to the driver for improved voice recognition. The windshield also is thicker and now acoustic-laminated on all Edge models. Finally, baked-on expandable foam baffles in the fenders and D-pillars help seal out unwanted road noise.
• Powertrain NVH improvements: Three main actions contribute to a quieter 2011 Edge from a powertrain NVH perspective. One is the more robust engine cover. The intake and exhaust systems have been completely retuned for a crisper note corresponding to Ford powertrain DNA. Finally, a "tighter" torque converter reduces engine rpm on launch and tip-in events, reducing engine noise.
• Aerodynamic improvements: Both the lowered front fascia and new underbody shields contribute to improved wind noise.
Bold, flowing design makes Edge the can't-miss crossover
The bolder, more seamlessly flowing exterior design freshening is mirrored by a complementary interior, characterized by increased craftsmanship, improved materials and overall better execution. Improved fit-and-finish, softer touchpoints, and flexibility in terms of stowage in the cabin and throughout mark the 2011 Ford Edge.
"To me, craftsmanship isn't just fit-and-finish," said Bannon. "It's also the layout and the ergonomic experience. It's where we put the material – the stitching, the cutlines – and all the attention to detail to give the customer a great experience."
Increased presence is announced through a bolder grille and a chin spoiler that appears more crafted. The A-pillar flows into the hood, which adds subtle undulations to create a heightened sculptural quality. The wrapping lines emphasize both the front end and the new wheel lineup.
2011 Edge Sport adds more power, distinctive look
The 2011 Edge Sport is powered by a 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V-6 engine that produces 305 horsepower and is similar to the one added to the 2011 Ford Mustang. The 2011 Edge Sport includes all of the content found on Edge SEL as well as a specially tuned suspension, paddle shift transmission and its own unique style.
The Edge Sport's class-exclusive 22-inch polished aluminum wheels have distinctive Tuxedo Black spoke accents. Other unique styling cues include a Tuxedo Black grille, smoked headlamp and taillamp treatment, body-color rocker moldings, oval chrome exhaust tips, body-color door cladding and revised body-color lower front and rear fascias.
Key interior differentiators are liquid silver smoke appliqués that are echoed in the silver smoke metallic leather seat inserts, aluminum pedals and class-exclusive paddle shifters, which activate the six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission to give customers the option of a fun-to-shift manual experience.
In SelectShift mode, the transmission doesn't second-guess the driver, offering total control over gear selection and performance feel. Upshifts, for instance, are not commanded at redline, and downshifts are allowed at the lowest gear possible as defined by the engine speed.
When the system is in manual mode, engine speed matching provides faster and smoother downshifts, and customers get the gear they request within the limits of the rev limiter.
When a lower gear is selected while descending a long downhill grade, the 2011 Ford Edge Sport in SelectShift mode will hold that gear until the driver manually upshifts or returns to the fully automatic setting. To ensure safe shifting, the transmission will downshift to the lowest acceptable gear, based on a calculated maximum speed. That means if a vehicle were traveling at highway speeds, the driver could not downshift to first gear in SelectShift mode.
"The 2011 Ford Edge Sport, with its exceptional powertrain, specially tuned suspension and unique style, offers a driving experience not seen in other crossovers, and really appeals to the driving enthusiast," said Bannon. "Like the rest of the 2011 Ford Edge lineup, it perfectly blends technology and style."
MyFord Touch ushers in new era of interaction
The industry-first MyFord Touch driver connect technology provides a smarter, safer, simpler way to connect drivers with in-car technologies and their digital lives. It replaces traditional vehicle buttons, knobs and gauges with clear, crisp LCD screens and five-way controls like those found on cell phones and MP3 players.
Standard on the 2011 Edge Limited and 2011 Edge Sport, the MyFord Touch system displays information using two 4.2-inch full-color LCD screens flanking an analog speedometer and an 8-inch touch-screen LCD at the top of the center stack. A five-way switch on each side of the steering wheel crossbar controls the information displayed on the corresponding instrument panel screens. The screens can be personalized to display information relevant to each individual driver using a simple button click, voice command or touch-screen tap.
The steering wheel has all the necessary functions available in a very compact area, right where the driver's hand falls as he or she grabs the wheel. The five-way buttons feel familiar to anyone who has used a mobile phone or MP3 player.
Like the song? You can tag it
Also new on the 2011 Ford Edge is the world's first use of iTunes® Tagging in an available factory-installed HD Radio™ receiver. iTunes Tagging provides customers with the ability to "capture" a song they hear on the HD Radio receiver for later purchase from iTunes. With a simple push of a "TAG" button on the MyFord touch-screen display, the song information will be stored in the radio's memory.
Once a song is tagged and customers dock their iPod to the SYNC system, the tagged song information will transfer to that iPod. Up to 100 tags on SYNC can be stored until the iPod is connected. When the iPod is then synced to iTunes, a playlist of tagged songs will appear. Customers then can preview, and if they desire, purchase and download tagged songs from the iTunes Store.
One significant benefit of HD Radio technology is that the sound quality of the broadcast is dramatically better because of the digital transmission – FM sounds like a CD and AM sounds like today's FM broadcasts. Unlike analog broadcasts, digital broadcasts aren't susceptible to interference, fadeout and other issues.
2011 Ford Edge brimming with standard and class-exclusive technologies
MyFord driver connect technology headlines the list of 12 class-exclusive standard and available features and technologies for the 2011 Ford Edge, joining SYNC; Easy Fuel® (standard); SecuriCode keyless entry keypad; Blind Spot Mirrors (standard); MyKey™ (standard); AdvanceTrac® with RSC (Roll Stability Control™, standard); Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support; Cross Traffic Alert; and 22-inch wheels and paddle activation on the 2011 Edge Sport.
Here's a closer look at some of the technologies:
• Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support allows the driver to set the vehicle's speed and maintain it without using the accelerator pedal, and warns the driver of a potential collision risk. It also helps reduce speed and automatically pre-charges brakes and engages an electronic brake assist system to help drivers stop more quickly when the system detects a collision is imminent.
• Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with Cross Traffic Alert is a feature that can help detect vehicles in blind spots during normal driving and traffic approaching from the sides when reversing out of parking spots.
• MyKey is designed to allow parents to encourage teenagers to drive safely and more fuel efficiently, and increase seat belt usage. The standard MyKey feature allows owners to designate keys that can limit the vehicle's top speed and audio volume.
• Easy Fuel Capless Fuel-Filler System is a standard Ford-exclusive feature that uses an integrated spring-loaded flapper door to eliminate the need for a fuel tank screw cap.
"You can jump in the 2011 Ford Edge and bring your technology – your lifestyle – with you and have everything at your fingertips," said Bannon. "The 2011 Ford Edge gives you all the capability and flexibility you want along with great style."
The 2011 Ford Edge will be built at Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, and will be available in dealers this summer.

Ticket #284 (new enhancement)
Add synchronisation with Thunderbird/Lighting

|felixmoeller, henrik, friedrich.beckmann, hannes06@…, hilope@…
Hello, I think that adding a feature to allow synchronization of mails with Thunderbird and calendar with Sunbird would be a wonderful improvement to OpenSync?, as these software are becoming very popular. Thanks a lot. Regards, Nikos

Have a look at http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/ this should allow synchronisation with Thunderbird.
comment:6 Changed 7 years ago by bornmw
Synchronization of Sunbird Calendar and Thunderbird Contacts is a great thing. But what I believe this issue is about is synchronization of Thunderbird+Lightning Calendar+Contacts. I wounder why didn't bluezync.kaarposoft.dk start extending sunbird plugin to include Contacts but started a separate Contacts-only plugin?
comment:8 Changed 6 years ago by oxe1976
having an OpenSync? plugin for Thunderbird contacts (and Lightning calendar) would be a great thing :-).
Is anybody working on that? How is there progress?
I can offer some help on that (quite new on OpenSync? development but not on development in general... and willing to help if there is already an alpha version or something like that).

oxe1976 have a look at http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/ this allready works. Or should work. I did not test it recently but it worked earlier quiet well.
Henrik what is the status? Have you adapted to all API changes?

blueZync is alive and kicking!
Latest version out of SVN has been adapted to newest version of OpenSync? out of SVN. ... but there are a number of open issues still to be solved.
(I have just updated http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/building.html with new building instructions)
Any help with the development would be much appreciated!
comment:11 Changed 6 years ago by oxe1976
great. I currently try the mozilla-sync plugin. I was able to build and run libopensync-0.37, libopensync-plugin-file-0.37 and msynctool-0.37. I also build the mozilla-sync plugin (SVN from today) and I was able to run it (so, no unresolved dependencies, library issues etc.)
I wanted to sync my address book with a file, I did the following:
msynctool --addgroup file2file msynctool --addmember file2file file-sync msynctool --addmember file2file mozilla-sync msynctool --configure file2file 1 msynctool --configure file2file 2
Configuring is fine, I guess. But the sync aborts with error:

When Diane Pratt's 12-year-old son Jordan asked her for a Penny skateboard a light bulb went off in her head.
The Newport Beach entrepreneur, and owner of Crush Clothing, had a hunch her son's passion for skateboards could turn into a new business. Today, a year after nurturing the idea, she will officially open the doors to Balboa Boardsports on Balboa Island.
"Our deal was if he wanted one, I would buy it for him if he would help me sell them," Pratt told Patch. "Sure enough he helped me with the display and we sold them quite well right off the bat."
Balboa Boardsports offers board sport, lifestyle equipment and apparel from several brands including Penny skateboards, RVCA, Vans and Volcom. The store will also sell items from underground Orange County brands like Amphibian and Von Bone.
Pratt is expecting a good mix of locals and tourists at the new store. Since last year Pratt and her son have sold more than 1,000 skateboards from Crush Clothing. Jordan spent the summer at a workspace his mom created for him in the front of her store where he got some good practice.
"He was busy changing wheels and bearings and mixing and matching colors," Pratt explained. "The philosophy I am trying to teach him is to find something you love to do and make money at it, and it will never feel like work."
At Balboa Boardsports, Jordan, a 7th grade student at Corona del Mar Middle School, will be a boardsport specialist and will work a couple hours a week. Crush Clothing will also remain open, and so will Jordan's skateboard workshop in the front of the store.
Grand Opening Festivities:
- Today from 6:30 to 9 p.m. the store will host a fundraiser for Corona del Mar High School girls' water polo. A percentage of the days' sales will benefit CDM girls' water polo.
- Friday, Nov. 9: Island and Harbor "Residents' Day" from 7 – 9 p.m.
- Saturday, Nov. 10: Family/friends/business open house from 7 – 9 p.m.
- Sunday, Nov. 11: Hourly raffles from noon – 6 p.m.
Balboa Boardsports is located at 213 Marine Avenue on Balboa Island.

In the Crease
Caller-Times staff writer Greg Rajan has covered the IceRays since 2003 and has written about hockey since the 1999-00 season. Follow him on Twitter @GregRajan.
Rayz-Bees, the early morning after
March 18, 2006 3:40 AM
Before we get to the postgame comments, let's spell out some basic rules regarding the awarding of goals:
Rule 35 (f) says "It shall be (the referee's) duty to impose such penalties as are prescribed by the rules for infractions thereof and he shall give the final decision in matters of disputed goals. The Referee may consult with linesmen or Goal Judge before making his decision."
Rule 36 (a), subsection 12 says linesmen can call goals not observed by the referee. I've seen it happen this year, but all were obvious goals.
Rule 37 (c) says "In the event of a goal being claimed, the Goal Judge of that goal shall decide whether or not the puck has passed between the goal posts and entirely over the goal line."
On to the postgame comments:
KEN McRAE
"It's another one-goal loss for our hockey team. It's a one-goal loss. Instead of playing in a 4-3 hockey game for the second and third period, we played in a 5-3 hockey game because of a (expletive) call. That's the bottom line."
"My problem is, (Kaval) goes through the protocol at one end (before awarding Laurila's goal) where the puck hits the post, hits the goalie in the back and was in the net. It was clearly in the net. Everybody in the rink knew it was in the net down there, it crossed the goal line. He goes to the goal judge on the headset and the goal judge says it's a goal. (Kaval) makes the call, it's in the net. He goes through the same process down here (on Mushaluk's goal) after he waves it off himself. The goal judge says 'I put the (goal) light on. I made a mistake. It hit the crossbar.' Then he goes to (Hopkins) who's how many feet away from the puck? (Hopkins says) 'Oh, I think it went in.' Then calls it a goal. C'mon. To me, that's just a joke. That's a joke."
"How do any of them call it? The puck hits the crossbar and ends up almost to the blue line. If that went in the net and I haven't seen the tape yet, I think everybody at this end of the ice knows it did go in the net. Nobody (was celebrating). The only people who were celebrating were the three clowns on the ice."
"It was the turning point. We just gained momentum and came from 4-1 (down) to 4-3. Like I said, we've got to play at our best to beat this hockey club. It's 4-3 and everything's taken away from us in a heartbeat. My question is, what's (Kaval) so worried about me jumping down and slamming the door one time? By the time I jumped down off the bench after he called it a goal, I slammed the gate one time and he's already run me for an unsportsmanlike penalty. Show some skin, show some thickness and turn the other way. If I break a stick and throw it out there, then (give) me an unsportsmanlike and run me out of the game. But he's so worried after he made the call. That's the question for me right there. He knows he doesn't know if that puck went into the net."
"You know what? I hope when that's (determined not to be) a goal, I hope one of them gets fined or all of them for a call like that. I'm pretty sure that's not a goal. I'll watch the tape when I get it, but I'm pretty sure that didn't go in the net."
"Everybody in the whole building and their bench knows it's not a goal. We have a hard enough time scoring goals. We don't need ones that don't go in (counting against us)."
DERRICK McIVER
"It wasn't in. It was a terrible call." (McIver was on the ice when it happened)
"There was no way that was a goal. That was (expletive) awful. I was far enough out and if it would've hit the back post, it would've hit me (on the way out). It changed the whole complexion of the game. The whole complexion of the game was changed with that goal."
"(Kaval) said they're an officiating crew and have to believe what each other is saying. I said, 'When it's two against one, who are you going to believe?' He said, 'I've got to go with my linesman.' It was the key point in the hockey game. It's tougher to come back from two (goals down) than one. It just sumps up what kind of year we've had."
"It looked like it hit the bar and came out."
Boy, they are pretty mad. Imagine how mad they would be if it happened in overtime of a game 7!
the famous CHL goal no goal protocol. You would think when their protocol decided the finals they wouldn't blow it again but hey this is the CHL-- the league with ref's with no B$LLs.
Ref cops out once again and lets the call be determined by someone else.
What in the hell is going on with the CHL and its officials! This is a complete travesty to the game of hockey, period. If I was McRae and the players I would have been tempted to walk off the ice for such sorry officiating. You cant beat the zebras (chl Jackasses) if they are going to completely turn there calls against a team as Kaval did! The fans and owners of the CHL should stand up and call for a firing of Refs like Todur Floru and Keith Kaval!!! They take the sport out of the game and could ruin minor league hockey as we know it! Thats right fire them publicly and put them back on the street (Leopard) with there bottle of T-Bird. On second thought that is an insult to the homeless on Leopard and I apologize.
Well , I guess as long as the CHL is a "developemental" league it will be the same for officials.The good refs are probably in the ECHL.Obviously the CHL is on the lower rungs of the official ladder so we all should not be surprised from what we get from time to time.It does seem to be getting worse though.
Please tell me It wont get any worse than it already is!!!! The officiating in the CHL is a complete joke and taking away from the game of hockey.
We didn't lose to Laredo tonight because of Keith Kaval, but he proved once again -- and on consecutive nights, apparently -- that he's not fit to referee professional hockey games.
He was just terrible. Again.
I believe Kaval is not fit for Pee-Wee league! Their would be a lot of parents Kicking His a$$ for ruining their kids games by trying to be the center of attraction; therefore he had to go somewhere that he is protected from fans who deplore his inability to officiate. I call for an immediate dismissal of idiots like Kaval from the CHL!!!!! If the league doesnt do something soon, fans will leave the stands for good. We dont want to watch the officials gong show, we came to see hockey!!!!!!!
If even Egeland practicaly agreed it wasn't a goal, I'll put that as one of the top five worst refereed games of the year.

Party Recap...
There was not many ideas online or anywhere about a MJ Party, so I hope this help others. Each guest game dressed as their favorite pop star. We had the red carpet, red light, fog machine and all. The kids played MJ Bingo, the Wii game, and performed a song by the person they came dressed as. We even had an appearance by a MJ Impersonator. Since the party was held on the day MJ passed away we also did a balloon release memoriam in his honor.
