Can you have an accessible and usable website without HTML and CSS validation? Accessibility, Usability and Validation: Are they synonymous of one another? Accessibility: being at hand when needed. Usability: being fit for use; being convenient to use. Validation: testing the truth (valid proof) of something. I visualise the three as a dynamic Venn diagram sliding together or apart depending on site requirements, budget, and time. Given both individual and technical variants I am unable to imagine a total overlap of any two, let alone all three. * Is a w3c valid site necessarily easy (fit/convenient) to use? And then there is the quality of available tools. The major browsers for the not-so-seriously-handicapped-majority are unable/unwilling to render similar results. Imagine the lack of support and capability variance among the various browsers for the more-seriously-handicapped-minority. These are not reasons to ignore validation, usability, or accessibility. Nor reasons to address only their 'similarities'. They are three very different creatures and if we address only the overlap many people, albeit a small percentage of the whole, will remain ignored. Can you have an accessible and usable website without HTML and CSS validation? Depends on your definition of "accessible and usable". For practical purposes (as you noted) grammar validation is often one accessibility requirement. In that instance certainly and in general best practice the answer is no, you can not have an accessible and usable website without HTML and CSS validation. However: accessible is not automatically usable, nor is usable necessarily accessible. And valid may be either, neither, or both.
pageoneresults happily presents two questions as if the answer to both is the same:
Accessibility, Usability and Validation: Are they synonymous of one another?
They are not synonymous [having the same or a similar meaning] else we would not be using three when any one would do. They are, however, compatible [able to exist and perform in harmonious or agreeable combination].
* As noted by pageoneresults some (and there are several models) accessibility guidelines require grammar validation but it remains but one requirement among many. What combination of validations is valid?
* Is a site that is easy to use for me easy for you, or vice versa?
* Is a site that is easy to use necessarily valid?
* Is a site that is 'at hand' necessarily easy to use? or valid?
Whose regulations? Whose requirements? Whose suggestions?

driving between Vancouver and the US
Vancouver is very easy to access from the US. If in Seattle or the surrounding area, just head north on I-5 until you hit the border. The trip usually takes 2.5 hours, this can vary due to border traffic. On weekends and holidays, expect at least a 30-60 minute delay. Once crossed over the border, follow 99 until it hits the city. Similarly, follow these directions in reverse if traveling into the US
If you are at the border and you're waiting a while, take the chance to explore the grassy park areas. The peace arch symbolizes the sisterhood of the two countries. There's other memorials around as well.
Enjoy the scenery all around you; it's such a beautiful drive when it's not raining of course.- Road Trip
Car Hire
It is well worth it to hire a car in Vancouver especially of you want to explore surrounding areas. We hired a car form the airport but be warned there is a surcharge for this (about CAD100).
The city is very easy to navigate even though we were driving on the other side of the road. The locals complain that traffic is bad but then they have never driven in London. It took us about 40 minutes to get from the airport to north Vancouver during peak hour.
It is quite reasonably priced to rent SUV's so my husband got to try out his dream car. -
The Sea To Sky Highway
If you're trying to get to the North Shore, West Vancouver, or to Whistler, then simply follow the 99 highway from downtown. This road will take you over the Lion's Gate Bridge (one of the top 100 suspension bridges in the world), and will eventually turn into the Sea To Sky Highway which leads up to Whistler.
US-Canada Border Issues
We drove from Seattle to Vancouver via Interstate 5, crossing the border at the Douglas (Peace Arch) Crossing. This is the main thoroughfare on the West Coast between the two nations and is marked, by the large Peace Arch (built in 1921) and a surrounding state park in the US and provincial park in Canada. While entering Canada from this point, the lines were fairly short, and we waited perhaps 10-15 minutes until we got to the Canadian border inspector who just asked us a few questions and throw the amusing phrase "Eh!" at us a few times. Just a quick stop and we were on our way.
Returning to the US on a holiday weekend, we heard on the radio that the Peace Arch Crossing had a two-hour wait, but the Pacific Highway Crossing, just a little further inland had shorter lines. So as we headed south on Canadian Hwy 99, we took one of the last exits before the border and headed east a few miles on 8th Street until we hit Hwy 15 to the border. Unfortunately, the lines here were just as long and it took us about 2 hours of waiting to get to the customs and immigration official. We thought the lines were caused by the extra thorough security and questioning, but the guard barely said a word to us before waving us into the US.
While listening to the radio, the commentator kept saying the lines into Canada were 10 minutes and the lines to the US 2 hours, "as usual." Check the websites with current border wait times listed, and take a restroom break before you get stuck in traffic! -
Renting a car
A lot of you that will visit Vancouver are probably visiting as a part of a trip through BC/Alberta/USA. I would think that some of you will choose to rent a car and explore the area that way. There are many car rentals in Vancouver, you can find them at the airport as well as other places in the city.
We rented an SUV a few times ourselves in the summer time so the whole family (including in-laws) would fit in the car. We have rented from Avis and Thrifty before and we've had great experience with both car rental companies!
A few helpful tips when renting a car:
*Always make sure you check out if there is any damage on the car and take photos if necessary!
*Check if the inside is cleaned, sometimes it's not cleaned properly and they may charge you extra for cleaning fees when you return the car.
*Make sure you only pay what you asked for, some of the extra insurance may come in handy but most of it is not necessary! We never take the extra protection and the damage waiver and so far we haven't had any problems with it. This is a personal choice and if it makes you feel better/safer to drive then I would just add it on.
*When you live in North America and have your own car insurance you may be covered through that as well. Ask you own car insurance company what you might be covered for and what not.
*If they do not have the car you have reserved (or something similar in the same class) when you get there they should give you a bigger vehicle at no extra cost! We had that once, we reserved (and paid ahead for it already) a 7 passenger minivan, but when we went to pick it up they didn't have one available. We got a huge 7 passenger SUV instead at no extra cost!
Here are some of the most popular car rental places:
Avis Car Rentals
Alamo Car Rentals
National Car Rentals
Hertz Car Rentals
Thrifty Car Rentals
Rent A Wreck
Budget Car Rentals --> Be aware that there have been many complaints about Budget charging their customers too much,they have been in the media a lot the last year and there have been law suits. So, if you have another choice of car rental don't go with Budget!- Road Trip

Watch for pedestrians.
In the U.S., we run over pedestrians all the time, so sometimes it's hard to drive in places like Vancouver, because there are strict laws against it.
The people are healthy here, probably from running and jumping out of the road, when those crazy american drivers come by during tourist season. -
Driving in Vancouver is a good way to see some of the more out-of-the-way sites and a car is almost essential for travel around BC. That said, you should be forewarned: Vancouver is not an easy city in which to drive! Taffic is heavy, there are no freeways within the city core, the few freeways that do exist have few on-ramps and are very congested. Streets often lack such things as turn lanes, signage can be vague or even wrong. Couple this with the fact that Greater Vancouver is actually a collection of about 20 cities. Streets have a habit of changing names suddenly and without warning (Hastings Street is suddenly the Barnet Highway, which then turns into St. John's St. which then turns into the Barnet Highway again and then...) And then there are the bridges...Lions Gate, Port Mann, Oak Street, Pitt River... The names all mean one thing - congestion. One accident on a bridge and you have instant gridlock.
Spend the money on an up-to-date mapbook that covers all of Greater Vancouver (including the Fraser Valley). -
Taking a car into and around Vancouver
For many Americans living across the border in Washington, the way to get to Vancouver is by going up I-5 until you reach the U.S.-Canadian border. After crossing customs(which may take anywhere up to two hours of thirty minutes depending on if it's a busy day or not) and into Canada, I-5 will change into Highway 99. Take Highway 99 north into the city. Even though the signs might say you're on Granville St, you're still nevertheless on Highway 99.
It should also be noted that if you keep going up 99, you'll end up in Whistler in two and a half hours.
For many Canadian drivers arriving in Vancouver, many do it by the westbound routes of Highway 1 (the TransCanada Highway), Highway 5 (the Coquihalla Highway) and small Highway 7. If you're going to travel on Highway 5, bear in mind that it's a toll highway--Canada's only western tollway--and it will cost you money to drive on.
In Vancouver itself, driving can be kind of hectic. Since the city is fairly crowded and within a few narrow inlets, road congestion is legendary. There are also no major superhighways that lead towards downtown, which is connected to the rest of the city by tributary streets and other roadways. In fact, there's only one major highway that goes through Vancouver (Highway 1). Any other highways in the city turn into city streets.
Keep in mind that if you want to drive over to neighboring Victoria and Vancouver Island, you can't. The water's too deep and the distance too great for a bridge. You'll have to take a pedestrian and car ferry instead.- Family Travel

Car rental
If you want to get a car while you are visiting Vancouver email me and I can get you a deal. You do have to have a valid credit card with sufficient space to have a $500 hold placed on it. And a current drivers license.
rental car insurance
Here's a way to save money on car insurance:
Since ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia) is provincially run, everybody who drive MUST purchase auto insurance from them, including your rental car company. When you purchase insurance from the rental company for $20-30, they will take $3-5 of that money and pay ICBC.
you can take the car to ANY insurance company, it's usually about $3-6 per day. The price is fixed not matter which places you go because the government sets the price.
or the old fashion way....
-call your credit card to see if they will cover the insurance
-check with your existing car insurance to see if they will cover your insurance or not. Personally, I uses Century 21th here in SoCal, and they cover my rental insurance. -
cheap petrol
for those planning to travel around vancouver, especially greater vancouver area, plan ur trip such that u will pass by Burnaby. the gas sold there is always abt 20 to 30 cents cheaper than anywhere else in BC. the gas stations are located mainly along Kingsway street. most of the time all the different companies sell at the same price so u can just go to any one.

Best way into Vancouver coming...
Best way into Vancouver coming from the States is Highway 99, once you get over the Oak Street Bridge, exit Marine Drive West and this will run you into Granville, straight over the Granville Island Bridge, into downtown! Otherwise take a left on 41st, where I think there is a turn signal (left) (rare in vancouver) and then make a right on Granville.
Advice for American Drivers in Canada: You'll notice three lanes while travelling around the main roads in either directions. Be wary of the right lane, many people park here, you'll be driving along and all of a sudden there's a parked car. Be careful. Also, be careful of the left lane, there are few left turn signals and many cars blocking the left lane waiting till its safe to turn left. Be careful. Also, you'll find some intersections you come to with only a traffic light for one direction. This is a pedestrian light area. Stretch your neck and try to view the opposite angled light, when red, it means you can go. Flashing green means pedestrians are crossing, be careful. Took awhile for me to learn these. Oh, Pedestrians have right of way, everywhere. and No U-turns permitted. Even if there is no sign. -
The public transportation...
The public transportation system is the worst nightmare in Vancouver. Most people travel by car since the buses take ages to come and the coverage of the skytrain network is very limited. If you are visting Vancouver, a rental car is an essential and it helps you save a lot of time.
Free parking close to Downtown
These are two spots where I parked for free on weekdays, overnight and received no parking ticket. Both are in Downtown Vancouver, within 2km of the harbor, and within a block or two of a SkyTrain station.
- Expo and Pacific Boulevards between Cambie and Nelson. You'd think it wouldn't be open being so close to Rogers Arena and Yaletown. There are no signs and people seem to camp out here for days. The two cars I parked between in the mid-afternoon were still there the following afternoon.
- Western and Station Streets south of Terminal Avenue. This is a gritty industrial area and I would not necessarily put it highly. Watch for signs because there are restrictions on these streets, including a tow away zone in front of a gate. There was broken glass and some sketchy-looking people around, so be sure to pull the valuables out here. On the plus side, there are lots of spaces later in the day and it's a block walk to the Main SkyTrain station. Additionally, this is next to the train and bus stations, so you could, theoretically, leave your car here for a few days. Just read the city rules on how long you can leave a car on the street consecutively (not sure myself) before you do, as most major cities have a restriction on it.
Another where I didn't park, but found in looking online:
4th & 5th Avenues east of Yukon. There is some restricted parking here, so you have to read the signs. It's only a block or so from the Olympic Village SkyTrain station and a nice walk over Cambie Bridge to Yaletown.- Budget Travel

| Accepted Version 1489Kb |
Stent thrombosis is a rare complication following stent implantation; if it occurs, however, it is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Despite reduced rates of restenosis, drug-eluting stents (DES) have not reduced the incidence of stent thrombosis as compared with bare-metal stents (BMS). Patient-, lesion-, and procedure-related factors as well as thrombogenicity of the stent itself are involved in the pathogenesis of stent thrombosis. Furthermore, early cessation of dual antiplatelet therapy correlates with an increased risk of stent thrombosis. This review focuses on clinical evidence and pathophysiological mechanisms of stent thrombosis with DES, particularly highlighting prothrombotic effects of the stent itself.

Can I use a combination millivolt valve in a vented masonry fireplace? Currently it only has a manual shut off and 3/8" supply line to the logs. I'm thinking of 1/2 inch line and Robertshaw 700-504 valve with a remote.
What is currently in the fireplace? Just a log lighter or is there an actual set of gas logs in there? If it is just a log lighter then you need to get the whole gas log assembly which would include a gas valve.
It has gas logs with a manual shut off. No safety valve installed. I want to change to a remote controlled system. I wonder if the combination valve 700-504 would work with a shield installed?
Gas logs should be listed. DIY assemble yoursef logs are not listed. Do yourself a favor and buy a pre-assembled listed logset. Look for ANSI Z21.60 std. by a recognized testing lab. HTH

Ice damage
Meredith docks repair in time for holiday weekend
The docks, which are heavily used on Memorial Day and all summer long by boaters coming into and leaving Meredith Bay, were damaged when the ice left Lake Winnipesaukee earlier in the spring.
It's happened before, he said. In 2007, there was similar damage, and likely in years before then, he said. The problem occurs when weather elements combine in just the right way, with winds pushing the ice in the right direction.
The project will likely cost several thousand dollars, Faller said.
Ambrose crews were on the scene Wednesday, having dropped a barge with some heavy equipment in the lake. Workers pulled it to the front of the dock, where they began removing the damaged pilings.
"That is unless we find surprises," he said, such as more damage than had been previously found in the docks.

Google Wallet chief Osama Bedier leaves company
Bedier left eBay's PayPal in 2011 to take over the mobile payments initiative -- a move that lead to allegations of trade-secret theft.
The head of Google Wallet -- the Web giant's mobile payments initiative -- has left the company, Google confirmed Wednesday.
"We can confirm that Osama Bedier has decided to leave Google this year to pursue other opportunities," Google spokesman Nate Tyler said in a statement. "He's achieved a lot during his time here and we wish him all the best in his next endeavor. Payments are a big part of what people do every day, and we're committed to making them easier for everyone."
Bedier joined Google in 2011, leaving eBay's PayPal unit in a high-profile move that sparked a lawsuit later that year. eBay alleged that the Web giant misappropriated trade secrets from its mobile-payment business when it hired away Bedier, a key executive in PayPal's mobile payments effort.
Related stories
It's not clear if Bedier's departure is related to the lackluster performance of Google Wallet, its mobile payments platform based on near field communication (NFC). But two years after its introduction, the app is still only supported on smartphones with embedded NFC on one major carrier network in the U.S., Sprint.

Hammer announces $100,000 prize for new biennial; 60 artists chosen
The Hammer Museum announced on Wednesday a new $100,000 award to a Los Angeles artist participating in its first biennial, "Made in L.A." And, in a popular voting process familiar from reality TV, the winner will be chosen by people who see the exhibition, after a jury of art experts narrows the choice to five finalists.
Known as the Mohn Prize, the award surpasses the Turner Prize from the Tate Museum in London and matches the Bucksbaum Award from the Whitney in New York for sheer dollar value. The hope is that it also rivals them as a mechanism for bringing attention to artists.
"I strongly believe that the most creative and innovative art in the world is being made here in L.A., and it has been that way for a number of years," said Jarl Mohn, who funded the prize with his wife, Pamela, through the Mohn Family Foundation. "This prize along with the biennial is a way to let the rest of the world know it."

I remember when you started out
You were the best friend I ever knew
I tried to meet you when you had your success
But you had better things to do
Now I bet that you're losin' count
Of the people that you used
But now we're gonna see the vicious side of you
Mister Big
You've got the say and the power
Your minions grovel and cower
But I see you, and I see me
But you're the big man now
You got it, Mister Big
Your followers kiss your hands
And your slaves fall at your feet
Your minions serve your beck and call
But they don't compensate at all
'Cause inside, Mister Big's very small
When you were poor and knockin' at the door
You were really lots of fun
But now you're hot and you're sitting on the top
You've got no time for anyone
You schemed and connived, you pushed and you lied
Till you at last became a star
But now we're gonna see the way you really are
You got it, Mister Big
Now your victory is complete
And your battles are all won
Your enemies and foes are all stacked up in rows
Eliminated one by one
You got it, Mister Big

Anne Hathaway's cut voted most influential haircut
Anne Hathaway's decision to cut off her hair for her role in Les Misérables definitely influenced her film career (the brunette beauty did, after all, take home an Oscar for her portrayal of the troubled Fantine), but now it appears her cropped cut has had quite the effect on other women, too.
At least, that's according to a poll by the Hairdressing Council of Great Britain and Universal Pictures, who asked a thousand people to weigh in on the most influential onscreen haircut of all time. Hathaway's pretty pixie beat Jennifer Aniston's laid back loose curls in Along Came Polly, which came in second place, as well as screen legend Audrey Hepburn's bold updo in Charade, which finished third.
The close-cropped cut is definitely popular among celebs, with Miley Cyrus and Ginnifer Goodwin among the gutsy Hollywood gals who have opted for the low-maintenance 'do. More recently, Maggie Gyllenhaal debuted her own cute pixie, though Hathaway's hair had nothing to do with the star's drastic change. Instead, the actress went short to deal with a hard-to-work-with bowl cut she had done for a film.

Bob Pease sadly killed reportedly returning from Jim Willam's memorial
Two of the "Greats" in Analogue electronics have died recently.
Ironically I've was presented a book by Bob Pease on safe driving – with a picture of his VW Beatle on the front cover "Word has just filtered through Twitter that Bob Pease was killed in a car accident. This one by the sounds of it: Driver, 70, dies in Saratoga crash - San Jose Mercury News In a sad twist of fate, it is reported that he was returning from Jim Willam's memorial. A very sad week indeed." RIP Bob Pease & Jim Willam's- Thank you both for your contributions to the art of analogue electronics!

What a tradgedy. When I was cutting my teeth on T/C amplifiers, A-D converters, low drift signal conditioners and the like, I used to pore over the natsemi and LT app notes and I learned loads of stuff from these guys. I still have a copy of an EDN compilation of JW's circuits dating back to the 1970's.
A huge loss for the analog design community. RIP Bob Pease and Jim Williams |

Conveniently located in Southbury and Prospect, the Breast and Oncology Center is staffed by three highly-skilled surgeons who are trained in some of the most innovative technologies and advanced surgical cancer treatments. All work closely with the medical oncologists and radiation oncologists at the Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center to provide comprehensive care tailored to the needs of each patient.
National Accreditation
The center's two fellowship-trained breast surgeons, Dr. Beth Sieling and Dr. Nicole Sookhan, are also practitioners with The Breast Center of Greater Waterbury, a partnership of Saint Mary's Hospital, Waterbury Hospital and the Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center.
In 2011, the Breast Center of Greater Waterbury was awarded a full, three-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons. This accreditation is considered the "gold standard" in national recognition for quality breast cancer care and ensures that patients throughout Greater Waterbury have access to the highest quality care for breast cancer.
"NAPBC accreditation is a meaningful achievement that reflects not only our commitment to providing state-of-the art, comprehensive care for patients with breast disorders, but the recognition that we effectively deliver that care in accordance with the industry's highest quality standards," explained Kevin Kniery, Executive Director of the Leever Cancer Center.
The Breast Center of Greater Waterbury operates as a breast center "without walls," offering patients access to the expertise of surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists and radiologists at both hospitals and the Leever Center, Dr. Sookhan said.
"It's important for our patients to know that we are providing state-of-the-art breast care for cancer with a multidisciplinary approach, which we always have," Dr. Sieling said.
Specialized Cancer Care
In addition to having two highly skilled surgical breast specialists on staff, The Breast and Oncology Center's Southbury practice includes Dr. J. Alexander Palesty, a surgical oncologist with Saint Mary's Hospital. Fellowship-trained at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Dr. Palesty's surgical expertise is specifically indicated for patients who require treatment of:
While mammograms remain the best available screening tool for diagnosing breast cancer, advances in imaging technology are helping to improve patient outcomes in and outside of the operating room. The Breast and Oncology Center provides access to the latest technology for diagnostic studies including digital mammography, ultrasound and MRI, as well as minimally invasive biopsies.
"We offer better methods for breast biopsy that are less invasive and less anxiety-provoking for women. It's rare that I take a patient to the operating room for a biopsy," Dr. Sieling said, noting the procedure can be performed in an office setting, often on the same day of the patient's initial visit.
Both surgeons also perform breast biopsies for lesions identified by mammogram that are not palpable or visible by ultrasound utilizing Saint Mary's minimally invasive stereotactic core biopsy system.
Saint Mary's was among the first in Connecticut to offer patients this safe and accurate alternative to traditional open surgical biopsies to diagnose abnormalities identified by screening mammography. Stereotactic biopsy is performed under local anesthesia and requires no sutures, resulting in less pain and scarring than open surgical biopsy. The procedure is completed in less than an hour and recovery time is minimal. Most patients are able to return to work the same day.
In addition, Dr. Sieling offers catheter placement for patients who qualify for partial breast irradiation as a treatment option. Dr. Sookhan's areas of expertise include nipple sparing and skin sparing mastectomies, oncoplastic techniques in breast surgery, and minimally invasive breast biopsies.
Genetic screening for breast and ovarian cancer
For a select group of patients, a genetic mutation passed down from one generation to another can play a significant role in evaluating a women's risk of both breast and ovarian cancer.
Genetic testing for mutations in BReast CAncer Gene 1 (BRCA1) and BReast CAncer Gene 2 (BRCA2) are available at both the Southbury and Prospect locations. One of theses inherited gene alterations can increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime by up to 50 to 80 percent, and increase her risk of developing ovarian cancer by up to 44 percent. Greater than 90 percent of breast cancers are not genetic, but rather are sporadic and influenced by numerous other factors.
Testing is appropriate in a selective population of women who themselves have been diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of 50 or have had bilateral breast cancers or ovarian cancer at any age. Those who have a personal or family history of bilateral breast cancers, premenopausal breast cancers, or male breast cancers may also be appropriate for testing. Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry and family or personal history of ovarian cancer also increases risk of BRCA.
What is the value of knowing BRCA status?
Although it is important for all women to be educated in the value of early detection through breast self exam, screening mammography, and annual physical exam, BRCA carriers may benefit from earlier mammography, additional screening tools including ultrasounds and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and more frequent surveillance.
The test is also an important decision-making tool for patients undergoing surgery. For example, a young woman diagnosed with breast cancer who tests positive for the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation has a subsequent breast cancer risk of 40 to 60 percent compared to 10 percent for those who are BRCA negative. She may choose mastectomies and reconstruction (including prophylactic mastectomy of the noninvolved side) rather than breast conservation. Because of the ovarian cancer risk, some women also consider bilateral oophorectomy or total hysterectomy to likewise reduce their risk of ovarian cancer.
"There are challenges younger women who are diagnosed with breast cancer face," Dr. Sookhan noted. "Breast cancer in young women may be more aggressive and less likely to respond to treatment. In a young woman the breast tissue is generally denser and by the time a lump is felt the cancer may be more advanced."
"It is important for women to examine their breasts monthly, have an annual clinical breast examination, and not ignore warning signs such as a breast lump or unusual nipple discharge," she said.
Another subset of women who may benefit from BRCA testing are those with the appropriate strong family history who themselves do not have breast cancer, but who are at increased risk. Determining the degree of risk is important in deciding what action to take. Sometimes women's perceptions of their risk far exceeds the actual risk.
BRCA testing is only appropriate for a select group of patients. When carefully chosen and when performed with comprehensive counseling to ensure complete understanding of both positive and negative results, it is a valuable tool in the fight against breast cancer.

Toon Fans Told To Sit Down
Toon fans were greeted with an unexpected letter when they arrived at St James' Park yesterday telling them to stay seated during matches. The warning was placed on seats prior to Newcastle United's game against Fulham, threatening that supporters who kept standing up could lose their season tickets. The note stated: "The club requests that supporters do not persistently stand during matches and sit when requested to do so by stewards and other supporters. "Any supporters who persistently stand will be identified and sanctions will be taken against them." The letter, which was only distributed to selected seats within the stadium, was backed up by an announcement on the Tannoy before kick-off reiterating the rules about persistent standing.

Beginning of Sorrows End Times Bible Prophecy
This post is about the beginning of sorrows mentioned by Jesus written by Matthew in chapter twenty-four verse eight.
Matthew chapter 24 talks about what Jesus said to the disciples about end times events that would occur. For this we are going to show you Matthew 24 verse 3-8 so you can get a clear picture what the beginning of sorrows means as Jesus said.
Matthew 24:3-8
"3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows."
There is much more Jesus talks about, but for the purposes of this post, that is where we will stop. Again this post is about the beginning of sorrows as we have just displayed to you from the bible. Right now all over the world nation is rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom. It is happening in Syria, it is happening in Iraq, Egypt (we will come back to Egypt in a second) and all over the middle east. We are experiencing small protests more regularly here in the United States as of recently. These uprisings are happening at a higher rate than ever recorded in history. At the same time the weather around the world is going crazy. Floods, tsunami's, earthquakes, droughts, tornado's, mass animal deaths (birds, fish dropping dead spread out all over the place, out of no where, with no explanation). Many rivers and waters turning the color of blood-red all over the world in short periods of time. It is not uncommon for a water way to turn that color red occasionally due to some sort algae that most waterways accumulate over time under certain conditions. The problem is that this color red in water is a very rare instance and not seen very often, if at all. The high volume of different waters all turning red in a short period in diverse parts of the world is clearly a biblical type of sign and symptom of the birth pangs that the word of God (bible) also states the earth will go through during the end times.
As far as uprisings and nation against nation. Kingdom against Kingdom as mentioned in the word of God. Let us get back to Egypt for a minute. There is another passage in the bible that says Egyptian against Egyptian. This is to show you just how accurate the word of God (bible) is about events. In Isaiah chapter 19 verse 2 this is what it says:
Isaiah 19:2
"I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—
brother will fight against brother,
neighbor against neighbor,
city against city,
kingdom against kingdom.
Right now in Egypt that is exactly word for word what is happening! Amazing isn't it!
Well let us continue on by showing you a video with examples of major weather events that have happened in last few years. We came across this video on you tube that puts it into a better perspective. We will be making more posts with more videos and hopefully some detailed statistics of these end time events spoken of in the bible. For now watch this. These are some of the signs.
We wil leave you with these last few verse's:
Luke 12:56
"56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?"
Romans 10:9
"9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

Fashion has many titles and not all suits its criteria. While some of you must be getting that penchant nasal area for the most fashionable brands, there are some of you who simply go by the actual wardrobe and do not produce much fuss about your clothes. In case you belong to the first criteria, you must have certainly heard about franklin and marshall, an ultimate fashion label that caters to classic style college style. The brand believes in expressing the identification of an individual for his future by continuing to keep intact the acknowledgement for his previous and hence all the clothes and accessories from this label seems to take an inspiration from the vintage period capped in the modern world. The label is named after Franklin & Marshall; a liberal university situated in Lancaster and is deeply influenced by the college culture of typical North American values and began in the year 1999 through Andrea Pensiero and Giuseppe Albarelli and went on to become one of the most recognized style brands from the decade. Talking about a brief history of the brand it is said which both Pensiero and Albarelli got their inspiration for that label from a classic sweatshirt they found in a market in London and consequently started visiting more colleges to get additional inspiration.
A great aspect about the fashion brand is they continue to launch newer and fresher styles every season and cater extensively to males and females across schools. Hence one can anticipate finding the stock flying up across the stores as consumers head in to buy the latest trending garments and accessories as soon as they hit the market. The best part about franklin and marshall saleis that apart from offering an array of garments that suit the look of any season, they also offer a plethora of designs, styles and colors to choose from. Talking about the acute sense of fashion, the brand recently launched their summer line up of clothing that ensures that everybody gets the ultimate comfort along with high street style. Their range of casual shorts and the Mitch line ranging the shorts for men are a hit already. The clothes, made solely in Italy is, though raking in the nostalgic college culture of vintage America, an extreme hit around the globe and has stores in almost every two from five countries.
An important aspect that goes with this particular label is that they mix quality with fashion and hence one can expect to get high quality fashion clothes and accessories that perfectly compliment the fashion feeling. Franklin & Marshall started off with only men's wear, but have speedily made a means by the women fashion site and offer an exclusive selection of apparels for both the sections ranging from polo shirts, trainers, overcoats, sweatshirts, accessories and various other such products. This apart, one can buy the product either from the label's official stores or it's official website. Franklin & Marshall also provide huge discounts and offers to students from time to time. One can very well state that this particular brand has successfully mixed high school fashion with conventional vintage style and it is harnessing the fashion sensory faculties of the global market successfully.

Guardian review
the guardian Wed 04 July 2012
Although their first film, Flying Down to Rio, had been a smash, Fred Astaire was adamant that he didn't want to be teamed with Ginger Rogers for their follow-up. It wasn't that Astaire didn't like Rogers he had dated her briefly when they had both been hoofers on Broadway but as he said in an uncharacteristically strident letter to his agent in early 1934: "I've just managed to live down one partnership and I don't want to be bothered with any more."
That earlier partnership had been with Adele Astaire, his older sister by three years. Starting as a child act on the vaudeville circuit, supporting flame-throwers and performing seals, the Astaires had developed into slick, serviceable "dancing comedians". Their big break came in 1923 when they appeared in Stop Flirting on Shaftesbury Avenue. Although the piece hadn't been tailor-made, it played to their strengths. Songs by Gershwin showcased the brother and sister's musicality without demanding huge vocal range, while the routines choreographed by Fred were perfect for their combination of loose elegance and pep. The London critics pronounced themselves not so much charmed by the Astaires' performance as winded by it. There had, spluttered one, been "nothing like them since the Flood".
It was Adele, though, who really shone. Her pixie quickness, boneless body and large, amusing face was the antithesis of blousy showgirl glamour. Credited with putting "all the flap into flapperdom", Adele raced about the London stage like an exquisite hoyden, managing always to keep in strict rhythm. Acknowledged as the better dancer of the two, she instinctively produced effects that Fred had to practice in the wings. She had, too, an older-child confidence that allowed her to work the audience with a quick and dirty wit while her little brother stood bashfully by. Straight men PG Wodehouse, George Bernard Shaw wanted to marry her, while gay men Noël Coward, Cecil Beaton wanted to be her. Bisexuals, such as Prince George who saw the show scores of times, wanted both things at once, but had to be content with writing her long, infatuated letters.
Over the next eight years the Astaires consolidated their position as theatre superstars, reproducing on Broadway the magic of their London debut. But then suddenly, in 1932, it was over. In a move that neatly symbolised the way the pair had used their chic modernity to conquer the British establishment, Adele married Lord Charles Cavendish, younger son of the Duke of Devonshire and retired to Lismore Castle in Ireland. Left to try Hollywood alone, Fred put down his elegantly-shod foot (he had picked up a Savile Row habit in London) about this whole business of being partnered with Ginger Rogers. His reluctance was to do with the fact that no one could ever match "Delly". The fact that the movie moguls insisted that their new signing would be partnered with Ginger whether he liked it or not speaks volumes about the industry's perception that without his sister, or someone a bit like her, Fred was nothing more than a goofy-looking, slightly sexless, already veteran vaudevillian.
In this sprightly book whose every sentence shines with the author's love of her dual subjects, Kathleen Riley writes Adele back into the story of her brother. A relationship that usually gets squashed into the first three or four chapters of a standard Fred Astaire biography is now given a whole book. This also allows Riley to explore in detail the rich bank of dance practice from which Fred's later work emerged. The Astaires together laid down a library of beats, taps and turns from which Fred would go on to make some of the most sublime physical art of the 20th century.
The Astaires or the Austerlitzes to give them their real name have in the past been described as mid-Western and middle-class. Riley's careful foraging, however, reveals a family background far less corn-fed. Their mother was a first-generation German while their father had been born in Vienna to a Jewish family that had pragmatically turned Catholic. Fritz Austerlitz had fetched up in Omaha as a beer salesman, a job that fitted neatly with his growing alcoholism. It was to find a way out of this cramping existence that ambitious Mrs Austerlitz put her daughter on the stage. And since her little boy seemed to have a certain physical wit, he too was enrolled at the local dance school. Within a few years Adele and her sidekick Fred were supporting the family, sending home money to their father in a tactful recognition that he was no longer able to look after himself, let alone them.
That Adele and Fred were able to do this by the time they were barely out of their teens was all down to their extraordinary art. But what that art was exactly is hard to know. While from the mid 1930s we can see Fred's performances on film, there is no moving image of Fred and Adele together, or Adele on her own. And it is this absence of evidence, and the narrative problems it presents, that lie at the heart of Riley's thoughtful investigation. Her book is in part a meditation on the impossibility of capturing a performance, or series of performances, that happened 80 years ago. You can quote from the critics, you can scour letters and diaries for the reactions of people who were in the audience, but you will always be left with a gap, an absence at the heart of your story. Just what it was that made Adele quite so extraordinary will never, finally, quite be clear. All we have is what came after, those amazing recorded performances of her brother making magic with other female dancers.
Kathryn Hughes's biography of Mrs Beeton is published by Harper Perennial.

Ogden III still maintains the AV Preeminent Rating, Martindale-Hubbell's highest possible rating for both ethical standards and legal ability, even after first achieving this rating in 2011.

Charlton B. Ogden III commented on the recognition: "The Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent Rating is a credential highly valued and sought after in the legal world. It used to be a sort of secret among attorneys who used the rating as a first screen when they needed to hire a lawyer they did not personally know. Now, thanks to the Internet, the Rating is a great way for anyone – lawyers or lay people - to use to screen lawyers. I am thankful to my peers who nominated me for this distinction, and proud to have earned this, the highest possible Martindale-Hubbell rating."
