Corsicana —
The length of every football field is 100 yards. Every pitcher's rubber is 60 feet, 6 inches from home plate. The bases are 90 feet apart. Every basketball hoop is 10 feet high and every free throw line is 15 feet from the backboard. But when the game is played, one thing is different. One athlete is playing before the home crowd and the other isn't. The cheers of encouragement that fill the stadiums for the home team make a difference. We have all seen it, the power of encouragement. It is what sports calls the "home field advantage."
We also know the ravages of discouragement. Discouragement can paralyze and make it impossible to act. It can steal our confidence and throw us into a deadly downward spiral. We see it in athletes on the golf course, tennis court and in the faces of the losing team in the waning moments of the game. Some remarkable people have the ability to resist discouragement and retain their focus. The great athletes learn to fight through discouragement. But all of us are vulnerable to the voices of discouragement from within and from without.
The Adversary whispers into our ear words of discouragement and doubt. But God's voice is always the voice of encouragement. God is our constant encourager. He believes in us. He has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5). When a broken hearted father received the devastating news that his daughter was dead, Jesus said, "Stop fearing, only believe!" He then proceeded to the man's home and, in the privacy of their bedroom, gently raised his daughter to life. (Mark 5:36).
Heather Herschap was born with cerebral palsy. She is confined to a wheel chair with limited use of one arm. I first met her nine years ago after she had completed a college degree in psychology and was working on a Masters in Divinity.
She says the turning point in her life came when she arrived on campus as a freshman and was alone in the dorm for the first time. Her body became hopelessly stuck between the bed and the wall, and, with her paralysis, she could not work herself free. After hours of crying out for help to no avail she heard a voice, clear and audible, "Don't give up." That experience led her to faith in Christ.
A few year later, aware that her prayers were focused on her own problems, she began to pray for others and God whispered in her ear, "India." If you meet Heather you will know that India is her passion. Her eyes sparkle, her face lights up and her body stiffens in excitement when she speaks of India. She has been to India three times counseling outcasts like herself who are handicapped, encouraging them and giving them hope.
Every day we need encouragement. And every day we encounter people who need to be encouraged: the clerk in the Walmart checkout line, the waitress working two jobs to feed her kids, the aging aunt confined by her infirmity to a nursing home. Perhaps the most spiritual thing you can do today is to encourage someone. It might be the most important thing you ever do.

'Yeah, but ...'
"I've got good news, and bad news."
It's a time-honored phrase that boiled down to it's simplest terms is really explained best in only two words — "Yeah, but ..." -

So, I quit smoking.
Of course, just admitting that I once smoked is almost sinful in this day and age, akin to admitting I used to sell heroin to orphans, but it's different now than it was when I started. -

No secret here, I was one of those odd children who would rather stay in her room reading books than play outside.

The Chandrayaan-2 Large Area Soft X-ray spectrometer (CLASS) is due to be launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in 2014. It will map the elemental composition of the lunar surface, building on the Chandrayaan-1 X-ray spectrometer (C1XS) heritage. CLASS will use an array of e2v technologies CCD236 swept charge devices (SCD) providing an active detector area of approximately 64 cm2, almost three times the active area of C1XS which used the first generation of SCD, the CCD54. The CCD236 is designed as a soft X-ray detector, 0.8 keV to 10 keV, and benefits from improvements in design to allow for increased detector area, a reduction in split X-ray events and improvements to radiation hardness. This paper describes the investigation into the performance requirements of the CCD236, focussing on an optimisation of the energy resolution of a device irradiated to the estimated worse case end of life proton fluence.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Driver arrested after heavily damaged car draws officer's attention
Police said Kevin Donahue, 26 of 21 Sherwood Drive was behind the wheel of a black Toyota Camry about midnight Friday that was traveling south on Elm Street, towards Granite Street.
The car's front end was damages and a large piece of the car was hanging off, being dragged alongside it.
Officer Mark Aquino stopped Donahue who, police said, was arrested for OUIL.
Other officers checked the area to try to find what Donahue's car had hit but were unable to find an accident scene.

Kindle Fire HD 7"
Have mine in hand. Gorgeous. If anybody wants my critique, pm me.
I had really hoped that the Mini would have been announced this week. Now, with the outrageously expensive price of the iPod Touch, I have no hope that a Mini will even be in an affordable range. Nothing replaces my new iPad, but I have need of a smaller tablet as well. Last edited by Tikatika; Sep 14, 2012 at 04:57 PM. |

Hey answer me this? Which one did you get, 16 or 32GB? Can you check to see what the partition for apps is set at. |

Ok . I didn't want to go off topic and I really love my idevices but will not pay premium $$$ for a 7" device from Apple.
I got the 16gb. It has 12.63gb overall available. I've not loaded any apps, just some of my Kindle books. Currently has 12.22gb available. I will mainly use the Kindle to stream movies and read books, email, magazines and social media. I have Prime. All of my game apps will remain on my iPad. The good: It is solidly built and the increased size fits the hand perfectly. It looks and feels great. The HD screen is stunning in its clarity. Colors just pop! It is "retina" quality. Pixels aren't discernible at all! Really truly gorgeous! The anti glare screen is really nice. I didn't think I would like it so am happily pleased. Movies stream over wifi with any buffering whatsoever. Really really great, can't say enough good things! Internet is fast. Things in the cloud download fast. I haven't seen any lag at all in the 4 hours I have used it. Keyboard is nice! I like the spacing of the keys, easy to use. HDMI out!! That is fantastic for movies on the HDTV. Sound is awesome. You can tell it is Dolby quality. I saw one ad on the boot up screen for a book. Gone the instant I went to Home page. Don't know what all the fuss is about. The kinda bad: On the right hand side are the headphone plug, and the sound and power buttons. I guess there were complaints from previous KF owners that the buttons protruded too much. Well this time they are so flush under the edge that it is impossible to see them. Just have to find them by feel. While watching movies, screen can't be resized like it can in the Amazon video app for iPad. 2.35 aspect ratio movies are pretty small. I really hope they will change that. I MISS THE HOME BUTTON . I keep punching the bottom bezel lol. If I have any further thoughts as the days go by, I will update. Really feel comfortable with my decision and highly recommend! |

Meh I prefer the Nexus 7, mostly become I love Vanilla Android. The build quality on the new Kindle Fire seems great though.
The box said 'Requires Windows XP or better'.. So I installed OS X. |

Forty-six charge-reversal mutants of yeast cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) have been constructed in order to determine the effect of localized charge on the catalytic properties of the enzyme. The mutants include the conversion of all 20 glutamate residues and 24 of the 25 aspartate residues in CcP, one at a time, to lysine residues. In addition, two positive-to-negative charge-reversal mutants, R31E and K149D, are included in the study. The mutants have been characterized by absorption spectroscopy and hydrogen peroxide reactivity at pH 6.0 and 7.5 and by steady-state kinetic studies using recombinant yeast iso-1 ferrocytochrome c (C102T) as substrate at pH 7.5. Many of the charge-reversal mutations cause detectable changes in the absorption spectrum of the enzyme reflecting increased amounts of hexacoordinate heme compared to wild-type CcP. The increase in hexacoordinate heme in the mutant enzymes correlates with an increase in H 2O 2-inactive enzyme. The maximum velocity of the mutants decreases with increasing hexacoordination of the heme group. Steady-state velocity studies indicate that 5 of the 46 mutations (R31E, D34K, D37K, E118K, and E290K) cause large increases in the Michaelis constant indicating a reduced affinity for cytochrome c. Four of the mutations occur within the cytochrome c binding site identified in the crystal structure of the 1:1 complex of yeast cytochrome c and CcP [Pelletier, H., and Kraut, J. (1992) Science 258, 1748-1755] while the fifth mutation site lies outside, but near, the crystallographic site. These data support the hypothesis that the CcP has a single, catalytically active cytochrome c binding domain, that observed in the crystal structures of the cytochrome c/CcP complex.

I am soo thankful to find a positve blog about the Duggars, I've thought about starting one myself, but don't have the computer skills and I get disgusted by all the hatred for them. While I am not saying that big families are for everyone because they certainly aren't, but that the Duggars have soo much love and care for their family. The Duggars' decision to share baby Josie's story has profoundly changed some of my life views. I am excited about watching tonight

preparing for the nclex in hs
50 posts back to top |
Posted over 5 years ago im 18 senior(about to turn) and am an male if that maters, i want to be ready for the rn nuse nclex and there classes what can i do now in hs to prepare, im already studying the human body like its systems and some drugs, but i dont know if im on the right track so help please |

| Posted over 5 years ago There have many other topics close to thisalso.Check them out also, for other ideas and opinions.In my opinion, studying for the nclex at this stage in your career is premature.You need to learn the info and skills in Nursing school for it to make sense or to "flow" the way it should.It would be in your best interest to study the things you will be taking to learn to be a nurse.I.E. human body, muscles, cells,disease processes,Diets,nursing care plans.Also learning common drugs and there side effects, uses and contraindications etc.All this will help you in the nursing program.When you are in your second year then start reviewing for nclex.The nclex has tricky wording, this way you will be able to understand what the nclex is like and wording,importance of paying attn to the questions. Good luck!!! |

| Posted over 5 years ago I agree with pezzy. I would not start to study for NCLEX at this point. It will overwhelm you. I would start with the basics like your math (drug math), science classes. But if you insist on looking at nursing material then start with the basics because it kind of builds off each other. Yeah you can start looking at mental health/peds but if you don't know what a nursing diagnosis or what a care plan/nursing process is then it will not make much since. Sure you may understand the patho for the different diseases but will not understand what the nurses role is in all of this. |

| Posted over 5 years ago I agree also. You should focus on you prenursing classes. Studying for the NCLEX at this point is pointless, although, I do hear nursing students, using it as a study guide, when they are in the RN program itself. Studying for the NCLEX now, is to premature. First, get through all your prenursing classes first. I am a proud mother of three beautiful daughter. I currently live in Los Angeles California. I've worked as a heathcare provider for almost 10 years. I am curently in school to pursue my MSN in nursing, and wants to work as a pediactric nurse, in public health. |

Get in the Christmas spirit by giving a little time to help others in the community this holiday season.
The Salvation Army's 2013 red kettle campaign in Kansas City kicks off Friday, Nov. 8, and continues through Dec. 24 every day except Thanksgiving Day and Sundays. This year, volunteers will be ringing bells at more than 250 locations in the metropolitan area. To volunteer to be a Salvation Army bell ringer, go to www.ringkc.com.
Volunteers may choose the day, time and location most convenient to their schedule. A minimum two-hour shift is required.
"Bell ringing is a great way to get into the spirit of the Christmas season and give back to the community," said Major Charles Smith, divisional commander of The Salvation Army in Kansas City. "We have lots of families sign up each year, as well as students needing community service hours, and small groups looking for service projects."
The money collected during the red kettle campaign supports a number of Salvation Army programs in the Kansas City metropolitan area including emergency rent and utility assistance, homeless services, youth and senior programs, substance abuse services and disaster response.
"As always, volunteers are critical to the overall success of our red kettle campaign," Major Smith said. "Every cent dropped into a red kettle allows us to meet the on-going and ever-increasing demand for the services we provide."
Anyone wishing to donate to The Salvation Army by credit card may call 1-800-SAL-ARMY or go to www.salarmymokan.org. Checks may be mailed to The Salvation Army, P.O. Box 412577, Kansas City, MO 64141.
The Salvation Army has also launched its online red kettle campaign, which allows individuals, groups and businesses to host a "virtual red kettle" on the internet and invite their family, friends and colleagues to donate. To sign up, go to www.onlineredkettle.org.

An Arkansas woman's penny-pinching ways may cost her.
"Extreme couponer" Jamie VanSicker, whose last name is not made up, failed to pay for more than 180 newspapers she grabbed from various racks, police say.
Newspapers — a daily trove of money-saving coupons and important information — are popular with "extreme couponers," folks who dedicate a significant portion of their lives to hoarding household goods for reduced prices.
"Her defense was that she didn't know it was a crime," says Lt. Kevin Lewis of the Springdale Police Department.
That excuse has yet to work anywhere.
When the newspaper employees didn't find any extra papers, they assumed all of the papers had been sold, writes a reporter for KSDK Channel 5. Thus, newspaper workers were putting even more papers in the racks.
VanSicker kept taking them — as many as 62 per night. The thefts were caught on surveillance cameras.
Police say she grabbed at least 185 papers worth $231.
VanSicker, charged with misdemeanor theft of property, says she is disappointed the newspaper went public and pressed charges, according to her attorney.
Extreme couponing may save money, but it is giving a "black eye" to legions of legit coupon collectors, said Andrea Woroch, a consumer expert with Kinoli Inc.
Despite the savings, Woroch said "extreme couponing" isn't for everyone.
She offered up the following warnings in an email:
- It Requires Serious Stockpiling: If you've watched [TLC's "Extreme Couponers"], you know coupon junkies dedicate huge amounts of square footage to storing their over-the-top purchases. Even kids' bedrooms aren't off limits when space becomes tight. Some claim they donate a portion of their surplus to food banks, but the majority clearly ends up in their homes. Ultimately, you have to question how many tubes of toothpaste you actually need. Sales happen all the time but, for most of us, space is a premium.
- You Have to Be Selfish: I saw a lady at our local supermarket entirely clean out a shelf of popular cereal. Sure enough, the ubiquitous coupon binder was perched on her shopping-cart handles. This method leaves nothing for casual shoppers who want to take advantage of a sale. Even little kids know the best practice is to share and share alike.
- It Consumes Your Free Time: You can't just dedicate a few minutes on Sunday to scanning the inserts and expect to save hundreds of dollars. Extreme couponers dedicate many hours each week to finding, clipping and sorting. That isn't frugality; it's a serious commitment. Done properly, you can actually spend roughly one hour per week and still make a dent in your grocery bill. The Coupon Sherpa app allows you to search by ZIP code for the supermarket in which you're shopping, check for desired coupons, then download them to your store loyalty card.
- You Must Make Multiple Stops: You really can't just shop at one store. You have to match coupons with the right merchants then run around filling shopping carts. If you stick to your favorite retailers, you'll spend less time under those irritating fluorescent lights.
- You Become a People User: The shoppers featured on "Extreme Couponers" usually involve family and friends in the process. While they may consider this a fun activity, most people find it stressful and overwhelming. If you do find a soul willing to help you, make sure there's a reward at the end of the process. Buy them lunch or better yet, why not offer them some items from your grocery hunt!
- It Takes Over Your Life: Do you really want to be known as the nutty coupon lady (or man)? When extreme couponing takes over your life, it's time to sit back and do a reality check.
Translated, that means "Relax and learn to love watching baseball."

@ NIKKI: I couldn't agree with you more….I giggle whenever I see the giant notebook/organizer of coupons and a cartful of crap food…..**shakes head**. Whatever floats their boat!

@SheShe – how is it "legalized theft" if it is entirely your choice to purchase from the "Indian owned convenience stores" or not? Is somebody forcing you to purchase from there?
August 12th, 2011
2:01 pm
A year ago, I asked another coupon queen, Jill Cataldo, what she was going to do when the stores stopped taking coupons, other retailers clamped down on them so badly that they weren't worth using, and manufacturers and stores quit offering them because they could no longer afford to take the loss…I still haven't heard back.
I myself don't use the bloody things–I eat foods that they don't make coupons for. You know–REAL FOODS. I also follow the Paleo diet–due to multiple food allergies, I have no choice. Why drink anything else besides tap water when you've already paid for it? Get off the high horse and get a faucet filter!
These people think and say they get stuff for free or severely discounted, but it takes stunts like this, multiple subscriptions to papers, magazines, and online coupon-clipping sites, and the purchase of three or more computers to print online coupons in sufficient quantity to do it. Where's the savings?
You ask me, this is the MOST EXPENSIVE way to go about getting so-called "free" food…or even so-called free "food."
I see Rodney above has mentioned one very important trap to all this crazed couponing–expiration dates. Jill Cataldo herself has been guilty of loading up on expired foods, and several others have loaded up on food without noticing the maximum 2-year expiration date. What good is hoarding food when you can't eat it safely in the end?
Lady M is right–it IS organized hoarding. Think about what foods these people are buying now, and what their health care costs are going to be in the future because of it. Worse, guess who's going to have to pick up their health care tab? You and me, courtesy of Obamacare.
Want cheap food? Garden, forage, hunt, and/or fish. No coupons, no marketing, and no retailers involved–that's where the cost is.
August 12th, 2011
2:12 pm
I heard some of the manufacturers were placing limits on the number of their items you could purchase. My sister in law, who doesn't work because she spends hours everyday clipping coupons, buys bags of things she could never use and certainly can't afford. It isn't a bargain if you don't need it!!
I have also seen food being sold at yard sales. I was told they bought the food with coupons and were trying to make money selling it for more than what they paid for it, but less than what it sold for in the store without a coupon.

Not ALL couponers are bad!! I am a couponer and I do not clear shelves, I do not steal papers, I am not a hoarder, I do not use family and friends. And I DO have a binder. The TV show puts those crazy people on b/c if they put on normal couponers, no one would watch.

Totally agree KCLlinda. I too am a couponer, don't clear shelves, don't steal coupons and don't use family and friends. And I have a binder to organize my coupons. I use what I buy and absolutely hate the way the extreme couponers and their show portray couponing.

@ Wenchypoo – Fishing cheap? Yes. Hunting? Not at all, unless you process your own kills…once those costs are figured in, along with your rifle or bow and ammo, hunting is more of a hobby than a survival skill…..it's far cheaper to buy meat at the store, and I've never seen anyone break a leg falling out of a deer stand at Kroger…..yet.

These people are stupid, who cares if it's a great deal unless you can actually use it? If you buy more than you can use before it goes bad, you've just wasted the products on top of wasting your time and money. It's cheaper to just buy what you need as you need it and quit abusing the system.

These coupon nuts exhibit all the signs of obsessive personalities who have empty, pathetic lives. To be driven to steal is just another example of an inability to control their own actions. What a nut!

Asda's quarterly sales growth slows
- Tweet
- Share this
LONDON (Reuters) - Asda, the British arm of U.S. retailer Wal-Mart Stores (WMT.N), continued to outperform many rival UK supermarkets even though it posted a slight slowdown in quarterly like-for-like sales growth on Thursday.
Britain's second-biggest supermarket chain behind Tesco (TSCO.L) said sales at shops open more than a year, excluding fuel and VAT sales tax, were up 0.3 percent in the 13 weeks to September 30, its fiscal third quarter.
The rise is below the 0.7 percent sales uplift Asda recorded in its second quarter.
"These are solid results in a tough market," said Asda's president and chief executive Andy Clarke, adding that money was still tight for customers.
Britain's retailers are mostly struggling as consumers' disposable incomes are squeezed by rising prices, subdued wages growth and government austerity measures. Grocers traditionally cope better in tough economic times thanks to their focus on essential goods but even they are suffering.
Last month Tesco reported a 12.4 percent fall in first half UK trading profit, while last week No.4 grocer Morrisons (MRW.L) posted a 2.1 percent fall in third-quarter underlying sales, highlighting high levels of promotional activity.
Sainsbury's has, however, been outperforming, posting a 5.4 percent rise in first-half profit on Wednesday.
The performance of Asda, which trades from over 500 UK stores, has been boosted by its focus on low prices and also reflects revamped fresh food lines and increased penetration of its own-brand food ranges.
The firm has also benefited from its price guarantee offering to refund customers the difference, via a voucher, if an online price comparison website does not show their shopping is at least 10 percent cheaper than at a rival.
Recent industry data has shown Asda increasing sales faster than its main rivals, apart from No. 3 grocer Sainsbury's (SBRY.L), over the past three months.
Separately on Thursday official data showed British retail sales posted a surprise fall in October as shoppers cut back on food and clothing purchases, reducing the chances consumers will boost the economy in the final quarter. (Reporting by Rhys Jones; editing by Sarah Young)

-- As we've been reporting in recent weeks, the plan is to do a Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk match at WrestleMania 28. They set the stages for that this week on RAW when Jericho attacked Punk during his match with Daniel Bryan. Jericho is in the Elimination Chamber match so there is no rush to do that match at the next PPV. They'll hold it off until 'Mania.

The price was the best anywhere - an EOS 7D with 15-85 USM for less than £1200 - and it was delivered very quickly. Just one minor issue, the website did not make it clear that this was a Japanese version. It only has 2 language options, English and Japanese. This is not a problem to me but might be if I was French! Also it did not come with an English printed manual but did have a download link to one.
All in though, very good service and excellent price and I'd recommend Digitalrev and use them again.

Wouldn't picking a Lulu support when the other team's ADC is Vayne be detrimental? Because I was thinking something like this. Since her ultimate, while it may give the carry enough health to outlast a Vayne in a duel, increases maximum health, wouldn't that increase the damage the other team's Vayne puts out, considering that Silver Bolts is damage by percent maximum health?
Not really. Lulu has zoning potential and can constantly harass Vayne to prevent her from last hitting. It really depends on how you play the lane.

Lulu is an excellent choice against vayne early game, stop her farm vayne is terrible and cant really recover.

Features By Dan Grech
Government favors bank takeovers
Half of the $250 billion rescue package has already been invested into banks, and there are reports the other half will be used to help banks buy their weaker rivals. Dan Grech looks into the move.
Looking into credit default swaps
Two rival government agencies are reportedly teaming up to investigate trading in credit default swaps.
At issue is whether traders manipulated this unregulated market to drive down stock prices. Dan Grech reports.
Financial sector not leading layoffs yet
Layoffs were at a staggering 95,000 employees in September, with the financial industry the fourth-largest job cutter. Dan Grech reports Wall Street's bad numbers will start to show in a few weeks.
Miami homes react to the House
The bailout package's defeat in the House means no immediate relief for the housing industry. Dan Grech reports from Miami, where homeowners are worried and prospective homebuyers are wondering what their next move should be.
Why is $700 billion the magic number?
For all we know, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson licked his finger, stuck it the air, and said "Right, 700 billion." How was that figure arrived at? Dan Grech reports.
Will foreign banks join the U.S. bailout?
The U.S. mortgage debt bailout will extend to toxic assets in foreign banks. But how will it be paid for, and how will it affect the global economy? Scott Jagow talks with Steven Beard in London.
China shows Costa Rica the money
China recently bought $300 million in bonds from Costa Rica in a "checkbook diplomacy" strategy to move the nation's allegiance from Taipai to Beijing, according to a newspaper report. Dan Grech has more.
States hit hard by higher jobless claims
With the jobless rate up over 6 percent, more people are receiving unemployment benefits and staying on unemployment. That means states are struggling more to pay the bill. Dan Grech reports.
Mortgage rates fall but crunch isn't over
The federal government's takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has led to a drop in mortgage rates, making it a lot more attractive to buy a house or refinance the one you have. Dan Grech reports.
At $200, one laptop per everyone?
The non-profit program called One Laptop Per Child will be teaming up with big business this holiday season to make it easier for anyone to buy one of its $200 models. Dan Grech reports.

It will be a balmy 54 in Dayton on Sunday, Jan. 24, according to the National Weather Service, with rain showers expected throughout the day.
But, even though it will be wet and could be a bit stormy, enjoy the break from freezing temperatures while you can, because winter is planning to get back to work on Monday.
Overnight from Sunday into Monday, the temperature is expected to get down to 32. There is a chance of snow showers, with little or no accumulation expected.
Monday, with a high near 35 and a low around 23, there should be more snow showers with little accumulation, mainly after noon, that are expected to continue through Tuesday.
The sunshine is expected to return Wednesday and the temperature to hit 34 degrees, which is right around average for this time of year.

text: Digital Influence is one of the hottest trends in social media and it is also one of the least understood. Klout, PeerIndex, Kred among many others are investing millions of dollars to understand how our social media activity translates into influence. Whether we agree with them in principle or not, the topic of digital influence is only becoming more influential. Almost anyone with a social media profile is already indexed in at least one of the many vendors on the scene today. Consumers are trying to figure out what it means. Brands are realizing the promise of connecting to connected consumers. Advertising and PR agencies are spending budget against it. So what is influence and what does it really mean?

Brown Betty, Color for the Hair Down ThereI put it off and off, till the deadline for this story forced me to turn my attention to the box of Betty, Color for the Hair Down There ($20), which had been hanging around my apartment, like a neglected lover, for weeks. So, deadline looming, one lazy Saturday morning I mixed up a batch of dye (ammonia- and paraben-free), and, with the mascara-like wand provided, applied it to my hair, down there. Oh, for Pete's sake, it's called pubic hair. I applied it to my pubic hair, carefully avoiding—if you are a very private person, or my son, please stop reading right now—the labia, as directed. A half-hour later, I jumped into the shower to rinse off the dye. I could hardly contain my surprise and delight when, after toweling off, I looked in the mirror: The faded, nondescript patch I was accustomed to had been transformed. It was dark, richly pigmented, a shock of mahogany mink. Photo: Marko Metzinger/Studio D

- 26 July 2010
By Amy Balsam - Examiner.com, Los Angeles
On Saturday, July 10, 2010, one year and a day after his sold out show at The Greek Theatre in 2009, Chris Botti, the #1 selling American jazz instrumental artist and one of the hardest working men in show business, returned for another incredible evening of music. Joined onstage by some of the best musicians in the business, Chris and his band performed for his fans under the L.A. sky, giving a performance that led to multiple standing ovations throughout the night.
Chris started the evening out with the beautiful "Ava Maria" and then switched gears to "When I Fall In Love", (a song originally recorded by Doris Day and then covered by a wide range of artists from Nat King Cole, Kenny Rogers, Celine Dion and Boyz II Men featuring Michael Buble) on which award winning pianist Billy Childs dazzled with his improvisational skills. Later in the show, Chris told the tale of performing at a wedding in Tuscany at which he was joined onstage by his good friend Sting, to much delight by the bride and groom to have their two favorite artists share in their special day. When Chris and the band were leaving the wedding, violinist Lucia Micarelli fell and a glass went through her hand, threatening to put an end to her incredible musical career. The tale has a happy ending, as Chris asked the doctor who operated on Lucia's hand and who created a very successful rehab program for her, to stand in the audience where he was greeted with a standing ovation and cheers from the fans. Lucia then joined Chris onstage to duet on "Emmanuel" and each note she played was beautifully haunting. Chris and Lucia were reunited onstage later in the show for another enchanting duet on the love theme from the film Cinema Paradiso, which Chris shared is his favorite movie.
The incomparable songstress and Grammy winner Lisa Fischer joined Chris onstage to duet on "Good Morning Heartache", which also showcased drummer Billy Kilson's immense talent. Billy led an impromptu jam session with the crowd chanting George Clinton's "We Got The Funk" and he definitely brought the funk on this number. You could tell how much fun Billy was having with this song as his larger than life personality was shining bright with each hit of his drumsticks. Lisa and Chris performed a very sexy rendition of "The Look of Love" which showcased Lisa's smooth vocals and soulful style. Then Lisa absolutely amazed the audience with her singing of Andrea Bocelli's part on the operatic hit "Italia" co-written by Chris and David Foster.
In between songs, Chris was as warm and engaging as ever, talking with the audience as if he was reunited with old friends, which is yet another reason to appreciate one of the most likable talents in the music industry. Chris' shows have a very welcoming and intimate feel to them. You can tell he leaves his heart on the stage every night and he truly loves what he does. He is so gracious in publicly praising the musical geniuses he shares the stage with, and throughout his concert steps to the side to give each member of the band their moment in the spotlight. He is quick to acknowledge the talents of guitarist Mark Whitfield, keyboardist Geoff Keezer, bassist Carlos Henriquez, drummer Billy Kilson and pianist Billy Childs. You can tell they all love playing together and Chris Botti and his band are a real musical family.
It is evident from attending one of his shows, that Chris Botti is a real class act! He closed the show by inviting a 13 year old aspiring trumpet player and his family to come join him in the front row where he encouraged him to follow his dream of being a professional musician and impressed upon him the importance of practicing his craft. He said the teenage trumpet player is the future of music and Chris treated this young musician like he was a rockstar at the Greek Theatre that night.
Chris ended the show up close and personal strolling through the audience with a stripped down version of "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road") accompanied only by Billy Child's on piano. It was the perfect end to a perfect show.

By Don Heckman
Chris Botti's traveling road show made its annual appearance at the Greek Theatre Saturday night. And the enthusiastic, near capacity crowd loved every minute of the two hour performance.
And why shouldn't they. Botti's warm and engaging trumpet sound is one of the most appealing timbres on the contemporary jazz scene. He was backed by a sterling ensemble of players – pianist Billy Childs, guitarist Mark Whitfield, keyboardist Geoff Keezer, bassist Carlos Henriquez and drummer Billy Kilson. And his two guest stars – violinist Lucia Micarelli and singer Lisa Fischer – quickly revealed the capacity to steal a show from anybody.
Good ingredients are vital, of course, whether it's putting together an entertaining show or making a memorable lasagna. But equally important is the way they're put together. And Botti's pacing and his sequencing were beautifully done.
Start with a lyrical "Ave Maria†to assure the audience members eagerly anticipating the Botti sound. Then switch into an exploratory "When I Fall In Love,†showcasing some of the most musically adventurous passages of the night, provided by the improvisationally exploratory imagination of Childs. Follow up with more Botti lyricism, this time in a reading of "Caruso,†from his Italia album.
By this point, all the pieces were beginning to smoothly fit into place. A loose romp through Miles Davis' "Sketches of Spain†allowed Botti to stretch his commendable solo chops (compensating for his somewhat confused introductory assessment of the importance of the Davis Kind of Blue album). And the evening hit its first peak with the stunning "Emmanuel†duet between Botti and the gorgeous drama of Micarelli's violin playing.
The evening's second half took everything up another level. Among the highlights: a loose-limbed romp through "Good Morning Heartache,†performed with plenty of improvisational spunk, despite its minimal connection with either the meaning or the intent of the song itself; another musically intimate duet between Botti and Micarelli, this time with Ennio Morricone's gorgeous love theme melody from the film Cinema Paradiso.
And, perhaps most intriguing of all, the gripping vocal magic of Lisa Fischer. Although she's had a kind of major league visibility singing back-up for the likes of Luther Vandross and the Rolling Stones, Fischer is an extraordinary artist in her own right. And the interpretive range she displayed – from "The Look of Love†and "The Very Thought of You†to her counter tenor version of Andrea Bocelli's vocal on "Italia†was the stuff of a major league talent. The time is overdue for her solo career to take off.
Botti, who engaged the audience in entertaining fashion with his between songs remarks ended the night in appropriately up close fashion, turning off all the amplification and strolling into the crowd to play – with the sole accompaniment of Childs' piano – "One For My Baby (And One More For the Road).†Appropriate, because of the intimacy of the way it was done. And appropriate because the Chris Botti traveling road show was on its way again, heading north for a midweek date in Milwaukee.

Versatile trumpeter Chris Botti might be the biggest Miles Davis fan that I have ever met. There is nothing that Chris does not know about Miles, his trumpet artistry, recordings and legacy. His energy on the subject is boundless and on this podcast episode, you will hear that passion for yourself.

By Peter Landsdowne - TELEGRAM & GAZETTE REVIEWER
WORCESTER — Poor Chris Botti. The talented trumpeter with the tousled blond hair made People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People list in 2004; and ever since then, some jazz aficionados have accused him of being a musical lightweight. Wrong!
Botti sent his detractors packing last night at The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts during "An Evening with Chris Botti," which was presented by Music Worcester Inc. as part of the Worcester Music Festival. Backed by his band (acoustic pianist Billy Childs, electric keyboardist Andy Ezrin, guitarist Mark Whitfield, bassist Robert Hurst, and drummer Billy Kilson), the trumpeter turned in a solid two-hour-long concert that showed that he knows how to handle the horn. An audience of 2,000 Botti fans packed the venue.
Botti began the concert with just pianist Childs backing him on a reverential version of "Ave Maria." Botti's beautifully burnished trumpet tone was much in evidence on this selection, as was his range. His sustained high note that ended the piece served as a cue for the rest of the band to take the stage.
The trumpeter's take on the standard "When I Fall in Love" had Botti playing a sonic tribute to trumpeter Miles Davis, one of his acknowledged influences. Botti began the song with a wistful interpretation of the melody before drummer Childs doubled the tempo. Botti responded with a muscular trumpet improvisation that featured a bold and brassy sound and some deft valve work that pointed toward another influence on Botti, trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. It should be noted here that pianist Childs once performed with Hubbard and that Botti once studied with trumpeter Woody Shaw, Hubbard's successor in the jazz trumpet lineage.
Botti switched gears on an operatic "Caruso," which the trumpeter dedicated to Pavarotti. Electric keyboardist Ezrin provided some orchestral effects as Botti provided a superb example of what trumpet players call "singing on the horn." The composition was a selection from Botti's popular DVD "Chris Botti in Boston," as was "Emmanuelle," which featured special guest Lucia Micarelli on violin. Micarelli was also on board for a haunting duet with Botti on Italian film composer Ennio Morricine's "Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso."
Singer Nicki Richards, another special guest that Botti plucked from Madonna's contingent of backup vocalists, nearly stole the show during her three-song stint with the trumpeter and his band. She belted out the pop classic "The Look of Love" before toning things down on "The Very Thought of You," another classic from The Great American Songbook. Botti contributed a beautifully crafted a capella trumpet solo as an introduction to the latter tune, which ended with the trumpeter ascending chromatically into his trumpet's high register.
Singer Richards and Botti transformed the Billie Holiday ballad "Good Morning Heartache" by performing it over drummer Kilson's funk groove. Botti's powerful trumpet solo included a nice touch: A quote from trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night in Tunisia." Richards picked up the riff and intoned it in unison with Botti's horn to end the tune.
Botti was at his jazzy best on "Flamenco Sketches," a selection from the classic Miles Davis album "Kind of Blue." The trumpeter invited Boston-based alto saxophonist Grace Kelly to the stage to duet with him on this one. Just 18 years old, Kelly is being touted as an up and coming jazz star, an observation that she reinforced with her searing solo on "Flamenco Sketches." Botti responded with a smoldering solo that quickly caught fire and drew some spontaneous applause from the crowd.
Drummer Kilson's bombastic drum solo on "Indian Summer," not the standard of the same name but another tune in a funk groove, garnered a standing ovation from the audience. Botti promised an encore, which he prefaced by asking any young musicians in the crowd to identify themselves. The trumpeter then gave one 9-year-old piano student the thrill of her musical life by escorting her to the stage to sit by pianist Childs as Botti, who by this time was three rows deep in the crowd, played a fervent version of Frank Sinatra's "One for My Baby" with just Childs backing him up.
It was a nice gesture, as was Botti's suggestion to the parents in the crowd that if they want to wean their kids from the instant gratification of the Internet, video games, and other such pursuits, have them learn how to play a musical instrument. Judging from the brisk sales of Botti's CDs in the lobby after the concert, there'll be plenty of trumpets under the tree come Christmas.

Hello everyone,
Last year, I met an incredible young man and fellow trumpeter named Simon at my show in Krakow, Poland. I just received terrible news that he was involved in an auto accident and is severely injured. He's currently recovering at the hospital but could definitely use any words of encourgement to lift his spirits. I've created a post in the forum section of my website with the hopes that all the other fans out there can send good wishes his way.

By Rachael ReckerChris Botti quickly raised an index finger above his trumpet, pointed it Thursday evening at the DeVos Performance Hall audience and immediately silenced a prematurely clapping attendee.
The 47-year-old jazz musician, two-time Grammy winner and old-school entertainer didn't want the zealous listener to miss the most entrancing moment of "The Very Thought of You," as "bad boy of jazz" guitarist Mark Whitfield closed out the Nat King Cole tune in a smartly intricate, borderline-inaudible decrescendo.But that's the control Botti has over his audience.
After innumerable standing ovations, it was clear the half-full DeVos Hall crowd appreciated the control he had over his round-, smooth- and clear-sounding instrument and the control also harnessed by his five-member band and two guests.
At 7:37, an announcer welcomed Botti to the darkened stage "without further ado." Botti immediately ambled onto the stage with 2009 Guggenheim- and two-time-Grammy-winning (and eight-time-nominated) pianist Billy Childs and keyboardist Andy Ezrin.
A subdued piano and keys provided the backdrop to Botti's particularly slow-tempoed, satisfying rendition of "Ave Maria." Eventually the rest of the band -- bassist Michael Valerio, drummer Billy Kilson and Whitfield -- filtered on stage to beef up the song as Botti assured the crowd of the evening's ensuing high-caliber musicianship with a minute-long note hold.
Botti's note was so long the audience found time to clap twice and even laugh in astonishment. It was just the beginning.
Botti, who has made a career by slowing down jazz and focusing on the melody and emotion he can emit from a beautifully toned trumpet, further proved his jazz prowess by letting things get a little raw and up-tempo with the evening's second number, "When I Fall In Love."
What began lightly with Botti using his hand as a mute turned into a more intense building of noise, with Kilson's drums clattering and symbols crashing.
"Here we go," Botti shouted as he listened to Childs lead the third song. Childs immediately displayed why he's just better: Dynamic and powerful, he impressed with an up-tempo, turbulent ending.
"After a piano solo like that, there's nothing else to say, Grand Rapids, than 'Goodnight,'" said Botti, who addressed the crowd for the first time.
Botti made easy conversation with the audience throughout the evening as he chatted about being a college dropout and a relentless touring artist, performing 300 days a year. He also admitted to being anti-Twitter and Facebook and expressed his dismay that few children today pursue music.
But it was the music, not the chatting, that kept the evening's energy high, yet relaxed.
Botti demonstrated the beauty of notes slowly emerging from silence in "Caruso." Both he, Whitfield and Ezrin provided one of the highlights of the night with their bare-bones rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
Guest violinist Caroline Campbell shared one of the evening's most mesmerizing moments when she and Botti harmonized in a duet at the end of "Emmanuel," off of his "Chris Botti in Boston" DVD/CD.
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lisa Fischer, who is touring with The Rolling Stones, stopped by for three songs -- including Cole's "The Very Thought of You" and Burt Bacharach's "The Look of Love" -- and proved stage presence is equally as important as vocals.
But it was Kilson who stole the latter part of the show with a multi-groove drum solo that had jaws dropping all over DeVos Hall.
"I needed a drummer who would piss Sting off," said Botti, who used to open for the artist.
Kilson held the show until Botti ended it as he typically does on tour -- in the audience, unplugged, playing ... well, I don't remember.
The thing is, Botti didn't get too far into his encore from the third row before noticing the reporter's notepad on my lap from my seat in the fourth row.
"What are you writing?" he said, interrupting the song.
More playing ensued, until this: "Did you like the show?" And this: "You can keep writing, I'm just kidding."
As I said, I don't remember much about the encore, especially since Botti stared me down during much of it from a foot away. Thanks, man.
The frequent Grand Rapids concertgoers sitting next to me wanted to make sure I said one thing in my review: "Tell them Grand Rapids is so lucky to have Chris Botti."
Done. Hopefully I also showed them why.

Mt. Vernon, New Yorkers Pete Rock (a producer/DJ) and rapper C.L. Smooth emerged in 1992 as both a powerhouse performance duo and as prolific producers. Their 1992 album Mecca and the Soul Brother was a hip-hop classic with great cuts including "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" and "Straighten It Out." They later collaborated with Mary J. Blige for a remix of her song "Reminisce" that effectively merged the two tracks in a re-edited hit. Their next album, The Main Ingredient, appeared in 1994, but they split for solo careers one year later. They also recorded many productions for both hip-hop acts and urban contemporary artists like Johnny Gill. ~ Ron Wynn

Find the equation of A line. The line has the smae x-intercept as 3x-2y+12=0 and passes...
Topic: Math
Find the equation of A line.
The line has the smae x-intercept as 3x-2y+12=0 and passes through (-4,3)
The line is paralle to x= -4 and passes through (-2,5)
The line is perpendicular to y = 5 and passes through the point (6,0)
1 Answer | add yours
(1) The equation of a line with the same x-intercept as 3x-2y+12=0 and contains ((-4,3).
The intercept of the given line is found by setting y=0 and solving for x. Thus 3x+12=0 ==> x=-4.
We now have two points on the line; (-4,3) and (-4,0). This is a vertical line (the x values are the same) so the line is x=-4.
(2) The equation of a line parallel to x=-4 containing the point (-2,5).
Again, since x=-4 is a vertical line, the line we seek is a vertical line. If the line contains the point (-2,5) then every point on the line has an x-coordinate of -2. Thus the line is x=-2.
(3) The equation of a line perpendicular to y=5 containing the point (6,0).
The line y=5 is horizontal, so the line perpendicular to it is vertical and of the form x=k. Since the line contains (6,0) every x-coordinate is 6 and the line is x=6.

For years I've been writing about my efforts to get my parents and my in-laws into senior housing. As a senior care professional, I know how important independence is to seniors but I also know how much faster people fail when their movement slows, social interaction is reduced and nutrition start getting overlooked for the sake of convenience. So for our parents, I wanted them to gain from the benefit of living with others in an active senior environment. I wanted them out of the driver's seat, too, if the truth be told.
We're lucky in that both parents could afford this option. We live in a community with lots of housing choices, too. My mom chose a faith-based non-profit community of cottages; my in-laws a large for-profit high-rise closer into the city center. The choice didn't come easy. My in-laws, in particular, resisted the decision for a very long time. My mother-in-law was determined to die in the house she had lived in for the past 50+ years, just like her own mother did. And then last Saturday night she fell. Right away my father-in-law pulled the emergency cord. Within minutes someone had come in to help calm them both and call 911. When the ambulance came the staff greeted them and make sure everything went well during the transfer to the hospital. By the time we met them at the hospital, everything was fine. My father-in-law exclaimed over and over how glad he was that they lived where people could come to help immediately. "We have buttons or cords in almost every room!" he kept exclaiming. My mother-in-law? Her main worry was whether she'd miss the special Sunday Brunch the next morning. Is retirement housing or assisted living an option for you or your loved ones? Whatever your answer, focus on quality of life. Focus on what will increase your loved ones' interaction with others, what will increase their physical activity and what will help ensure that they get good nutrition and, if needed, medication assistance. Think about how their move will affect you, too. Will it free you to focus more on your relationship and enjoy your time together, or will it cause you to spend even more time doing chores and handling responsibilities? At the end of the day, it's not where we live – it's a matter of living a life rich with joy and meaning. It is, in a nutshell, about making it to Sunday Brunch! www.EasyCEU.com: CEUs for senior care professionals · www.aQuireTraining.com: Staff training for caregivers · www.Apply2Care.com: Caregiver job applications right to your inbox

I also have a picky daughter and for me it has also been a battle only my daughter wants junk food and is very stern about not wanting to try new things. So I took her favorite tv star stuffed animal <Kailan> and Kailan and I sat at the table together had a conversation and ate our food when Madi my daughter decided she was missing out and wanted to try it! So she sat down with Kailan and had her conversation fed her friend and ate herself..and what do you know she said "I never tried it, but I like it! <just like Kailan says on the cartoon> You know it all depends on your child...doctors will tell you there will be times when there is a growth spurt and your child will not be hungry and during those growth spurts will crave milk because their bodies are growing so quickly. but my daughter is finally a little farther past that but she still wont try many new things i have to figure out creative ways to do it including bringing her kid sized table outside and letting her eat wit friendsposted 07/07/2011 by redgirl11
My 2 yr old son does the exact same thing and I do 3 things that help. (probably same as everyone else is saying, I just like things numbered) #1 I do offer him food for every meal. I think eating together as a family helps this when we can, and I do keep his cup off the table until the end of our meal when I give in and let him drink. #2 I only let him have water inbetween meals -its best for walking around the house anyway. #3 Last drink at night -as part of bedtime ritual I give him one last drink of milk. I said that these help...but I still worry but I think I don't need to. He eats in spurts, not much one day but then more the next, or only one meal a day will he eat much food. But he is healthy, gaining weight, and has mountains of energy! So don't worry, don't power struggle. Just try to keep up with 'em and have fun!posted 04/07/2011 by mahonjenni
This is TOTALLY normal. My daughter did the same thing, which also concerned me, so I talked to her pediatrician about it. He suggested (to get nutrients in), making a "smoothie" -- you can put pretty much whatever you want (I used a variety each time, carrot puree, protein powder, different fruits, etc.) Also one thing that was suggested (and worked like a charm) ;), was not to force foods, but to make a plate of fruits, veggies, cheese, & crackers and eat either set it out or just eat it in front of them. With that, started curiosity, which made her want to have some, too. Good luck!posted 11/20/2012 by melapry74
You need to hang in there - you are the parent and this is a battle you must win. What we did was limit our daughter to one sippy cup of milk in the morning (after her breakfast so she doesn't fill up!) and one sippy cup of milk when she wakes up from her nap. These were her more difficult times and she finds the milk comforting. When she asks for more, we simply say "Oh, we have 2 sippy cups of milk each day, one in the morning, one after nap time. You have to wait till this afternoon to have another one. Would you like an icy cold water?" -- for some reason an ice cube in her water makes her happy :). We stuck firm to this and she started eating more - there is a direct correlation. It takes a few days for them to realize this isn't just one day, but the way things are going to go from now on. Do not be afraid to make your LO unhappy when it's something important. Just brace yourself for the reaction, expect it to come, and you will see it will soon be over. Good luck :)posted 01/09/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Has he had a BM recently? He could be constipated and feeling too uncomfortable to eat. He'll eat when he is hungry- I would follow your doctor's advice.posted 04/01/2010 by kokopelli615
I have the same problem with my 25 month old son.. He hardly eats anything.. The only thing he wants is milk.. I try not to give him any, so he will hopefully eat something. But I end up giving in since he has had hardly anything and is crying for his milk.. Some days he eats ok, but most days he hardly eats.. He has a ton of energy and is always moving around.. I just wonder how he does it.. Im happy to see im not the onoly one in this position.posted 04/20/2011 by desertrow
I'm having the same problem with my 22mo old daughter. She used to be such a great eater, but in the past couple of months it's been a constant struggle. Breakfast is the easiest. She usually will eat what I give her. But lunch and dinner are hit and miss. If I offer her snacks like fruit or crackers, etc., she'll eat, but actual meals are a huge problem. I can't get her to eat veggies, unless she eats pasta with veggies I've snuck in. That is IF she eats. I'm afraid she's not getting enough nutrients and it will affect her development. I just don't know what else to try.posted 10/12/2011 by gutierrezp
Ditto! 22 months old, used to be a great eater anything and everything... Loved sitting in his high chair eating and watching TV. Now he immediately wants to get down has no interest in whats in front of him and I'm thinking it might be the 2 year molar thing, obviously we all get paranoid when things are off the norm, but now I just take him to the fridge and he'll look around and sometimes pick something out (mostly milk and juice) but I've settled for a little more junk than unusal just to get the calories and hoping he'll balance back out! I'm THRILLED that I'm not the only one!posted 12/20/2012 by tstwistedchr
hi,same problem with my 25month old daughter .she stop eating at 10th month.she is on milk only.she dont wants to eat anything but only chips. plz suggest me how could i make her to eat. she dont like me to feed her too.:(posted 11/27/2013 by preeti katkar
I am struggling right now.. It is such a fight to get my 22m to eat.. I am going to try and limit his milk intake.. 1 cup after breakfast and 1 cup before bed.. It is going to be a fight for sure.. He has a older sister, they both find their milk cups comforting.. But they should be drinking more water so this will be a plus in the long run.. I also hearing that it is normal doesnt bring me any comfort..posted 09/10/2013 by Gabi1982

TT Bike this morning. 1:30 straight with 15 minute warm-up and 30 minute easy ride cool-down. That was rough. Wanted to get out for a run after, but 35 mph wind avg. and 45-55 mph. gusts keps me in. Don't wanna get sick again. Also, decided to skip swim after getting home from parents starting to feel better from cold I've had forever and don't wanna make it worse trying to make up WODS. Did get some good mobility work in though. |
