SF Travel Profile: The Spiritual Seeker
South Beach; Director of Innovation, Hinduja Group
Obsessed with: Yoga, surfing, meditation, Vedic astrology.
In the past five years: Been to India, Thailand, Hawaii, Costa Rica.
Best tip for surviving a retreat: Pack light, open your heart and go with the flow.
Most memorable trip?
During a four-day trek to Machu Picchu, both of my big toenails turned completely blue and fell off. Even though at times I felt like I wouldn't endure the hike through the Andes, the motivating goal was to see the lost city of the Incas. It made me realize how strong their spiritual faith must have been to ascend those peaks for the sole purpose of building great monuments to worship their gods.
What do you start your spiritual quests with?
A prayer to Ganesh, the Hindu god of all beginnings.
How is the act of travel related to spirituality?
Different people, cultures and places are all connected through love. Travel reminds us that no matter how different we are, we're still the same at our core.
Your most transcendent moment?
While staying at an ashram in Southern India, I unexpectedly experienced a burst of energy that felt like pure bliss. I had just woken from a nap. Half asleep, or perhaps in a trance-like state, I walked through the ashram grounds, where the trees, the birds, the flowers all appeared to be unreal, dreamy. I remember thinking, "If this is what dying feels like, take me right now."

(AP) - George Sodini seethed with anger and
frustration toward women. He couldn't understand why they ignored
him, despite his best efforts to look nice. He hadn't had a
girlfriend since 1984, hadn't slept with a woman in 19 years."Women just don't like me. There are 30 million desirable women in the US (my estimate) and I cannot find one. Not one of them finds me attractive," the 48-year-old computer programmer lamented in a chilling diary he posted on the Internet.
For months, he also wrote vaguely about using guns to carry out his "exit plan" at his health club, where lots of young women worked out.
On Tuesday, Sodini put his plan into action.
He went to the sprawling L.A. Fitness Club in this Pittsburgh suburb, turned out the lights on a dance-aerobics class filled with women, and opened fire with three guns, letting loose with a fusillade of at least 36 bullets.
He killed three women and wounded nine others before committing suicide.
"He just had a lot of hatred in him and (was) hell-bent on committing this act, and no one was going to stop him," Allegheny County Police Superintendent Charles Moffatt said Wednesday.
The 4,610-word Web diary appeared to be a nine-month chronology of his plans to end his misery with a shocking act of carnage at the health club. He portrayed himself as painfully and inexplicably lonely.
"Every evening I am alone, and then go to bed alone," he wrote. "I see twenty something couples everywhere. I see a twenty something guy with a nice twentyish young women. I think those years slipped right by for me. Why should I continue another 20+ years alone?"
It was unclear when the Web diary was posted and whether it had been updated online repeatedly since November or posted in its entirety recently. Moffatt said investigators are trying to determine whether anyone saw it online before the rampage.
"If anyone knew of it, they would have a moral and ethical obligation and legal obligation to bring it forward," the police superintendent said.
The violence rocked the town of about 5,300 people just outside Pittsburgh.
Killed were Heidi Overmier, 46, of Carnegie, a sales manager at an amusement park; Jody Billingsley, 37, of Mount Lebanon, who worked for a medical-supply company; and Elizabeth Gannon, 49, of Pittsburgh, an X-ray technician at Allegheny General Hospital.
"She can't be gone," said Gannon's next-door neighbor and close friend, Carl Rady, who knew her for 35 years and said she loved to work out and pamper her dog. "It can't happen that way."
Sodini was a member of the health club and had been there two times Tuesday before he came back at night, police said. He did not have a relationship with any of his victims, according to police.
In his Web diary, Sodini wrote of planning the attack since at least November and said he tried to carry it out when the same Tuesday-night aerobics class met on Jan. 6. "I cannot wait for tomorrow!" he exulted the night before. But he backed out at the last moment.
"It is 8:45PM: I chickened out!" he wrote. "I brought the loaded guns, everything. Hell!"
In his diary, he complained that women "don't even give me a second look ANYWHERE" even though he was tan and fit and claimed to dress well and smell nice. He listed his status as "Never married." In a chilling addition, he recorded the date of his death as Aug. 4, 2009.
On that evening, he walked into the health club wearing black workout gear and a headband, and entered the "Latin impact" class with four guns.

Flint making the case for a $20 million bond
UPDATE 3:30pm
The Finance and Claims Committe of the State Administrative Board unanimously passed the city of Flint's resolution requesting a $20 million fiscal stabilization bond. The resolution now goes to the full board February 15th.
11:55am 2/0711
Flint city officials will be in Lansing Tuesday. The city has applied for state permission to get a $20 million 'fiscal stabilization bond.'
Flint is facing a multi-million dollar budget deficit this year and other long-term debts. Flint mayor Dayne Walling says the city needs the money to help keep the city afloat financially.
"There is nothing more important for our city right now than the bond. We've been carrying a crushing load of past deficits on our shoulders. And we've come to the point where the pooled cash is not there to make payroll throughout the entire month of March without an infusion of cash."
Walling is optimistic state officials will approve their bond request.
"If this, for some reason, were not approved by the State Administrative Board, then we'll get right back to the table with Treasury and we'll talk about what our options are."
If the city of Flint can't get the money it needs, the state may eventually takeover Flint's finances.

Cover with lid and let drip. When all water has dripped through, stir the condensed milk and coffee together. Pour the mix into a fresh tall glass filled with ice cubes or chipped ice.

- 10. How can I run a command in the AMP Stack?
How do I download and install AMP Stack?
The name of the Stack depends on the platform. It is called WAMP for Windows, MAMP for OS X and LAMP for Linux. You can download the specific stack for your operating system at the following links:
If you are interested in working with the PostgreSQL database instead of MySQL, there are also Stacks available that include PostgreSQL in place of MySQL:
Which components are installed with AMP Stacks?
The BitNami AMP Stack ships the components listed below. If you want to know which specific version of each component is bundled in the stack you are downloading, check the README.txt file in the download page or in the Stack installation directory. You can also find more information about each component using the links below.
Main components:
- PHP scripting languange
- Apache Web server
- MySQL database server
- phpMyAdmin web application management tool for MySQL database
- PostgreSQL database sever (optional)
- phpPgAdmin web application management tool for PostgreSQL (optional)
Optional frameworks for development:
Dependencies and additional components:
- Varnish proxy cache server
- ImageMagick tool
- SQLite database
- ModSecurity module
- XDebug module
- Xcache module
- OAuth module
- Memcache module
- FastCGI module
- APC module
- GD library
- OpenSSL library
- CURL library
- OpenLDAP library
- PEAR and PECL package manager tools
How do I log in into my virtual machine or AMI?
BitNami AMP Stacks can also be deployed as virtual machines. If you are using the virtual machine, please see our Virtual Appliances documentation for instructions on logging into the machine.
The Stacks can be also deployed as AMIs in the Amazon cloud. Please take a look at our Amazon Cloud Images quick guide to see how to connect to the instance from your machine.
BitNami AMP Stacks are distributed free of charge under the Apache 2.0 license.
What is the default installation directory?
When using native installers the default installation directory depends on the platform and can be changed during the installation:
On Windows: C:\BitNami\wampstack-VERSION (On previous versions, the default installation directory was C:\Program Files\BitNami WAMP Stack)
On OS X: /Applications/mampstack-VERSION
On Linux: /home/user/lampstack-VERSION
If you are using a virtual machine or the AMI, the default installation directory is "/opt/bitnami".
How do I start and stop the servers?
Each AMP Stack ships several servers that must be started before you will be able to work with them. By default, MySQL database and Apache servers are started after the installation.
The Stacks include a graphical tool to manage the servers easily. You can find the "manager-windows.exe", "manager-osx" or "manager-linux" tool in your installation directory. Using this tool, you can Start, Stop or Restart the servers and check the log files. You can click on the icon to start it.
On Windows: You can also start the Manager tool from shortcuts: Start -> Program Files -> BitNami Stack -> Manager tool
If you prefer, you can use the "ctlscript.sh" utility from the command line. This script is in the installation directory.
On OS X: You can start the Manager tool from the installation directory or you can use the "ctlscript.sh" utility from a Terminal.
host:~ user$ cd /Applications/application-version host:~ user$ ./ctlscript.sh start
On Linux:
$ cd ~/applicaton-version $ ./ctlscript.sh start
How can I check the PHP configuration with phpinfo?
Once the installation or deployment finishes, you can access the welcome page from your browser. If you have installed the stack on a local machine as a regular user, you can access it at http://localhost on Windows or http://localhost:8080 on OS X and Linux. If not, you can specify the IP address of the server where you installed the Stack.
You should see something similar to this page:
In recent versions of AMP Stacks, there is a "docs" folder in the installation directory that contains some PHP examples. There is a "phpinfo.php" script file that shows the current PHP configuration and is typically used to check that PHP was installed correctly. In order to be able to access it, you first need to place it in a publicly accessible location. Copy the installdir/docs/phpinfo.php file into the installdir/apache2/htdocs folder and go to your browser to check the enabled PHP modules. by accessing http://localhost/phpinfo.php (or http://localhost:8080/phpinfo.php if running in port 8080) You should see something similar to this page:
How can I add applications on top of AMP?
BitNami Native Installers come in two formats: stand-alone Stacks and Modules. If you only want to install one BitNami-packaged application, then just download and install the Stack. It will contain everything you need to run the application.
If you want to run more than one application, you can install several application Modules on top of it. That way, all of the BitNami-packaged applications you want to run will share a single instance of Apache, MySQL and PHP, which will save space and improve performance.
You can download and install any PHP-based BitNami application (For example: WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, SugarCRM...) on top of an existing BitNami AMP stack deployment. Depending on your platform, you can download modules from:
WAMP: http://bitnami.com/stack/wamp/modules
LAMP: http://bitnami.com/stack/lamp/modules
MAMP: http://bitnami.com/stack/mamp/modules
Once you have downloaded the module, click on it to start the installation process. During the installation process, you will need to specify the installation directory of your installed AMP stack. If you are using the virtual machine or AMI, the default installation directory is "/opt/bitnami".
You will also need to specify the MySQL root password. This password is the same as the one that you specified in your AMP installation. If you are using the virtual machine or AMIs, the default password is "bitnami".
After the installation process is complete, you can access the installed application from your browser. For example, if you have installed WordPress, you can access it at http://localhost/wordpress on Windows or http://localhost:8080/wordpress on OS X or Linux. Substitute localhost for the right IP address or domain name if you are using a virtual machine or cloud server. The username and password is specified during the installation of the module. You will see something similar to:
If you are using a BitNami AMP Stack in a machine without a graphical interface, you can run the module installer in text mode. You can use the following command to download and install any BitNami module from the command line:
$ wget http://bitnami.com/... (Link to the module) $ chmod 755 bitnami-* $ ./bitnami-*
How can I create a custom PHP application?
Many users run BitNami AMP stacks as development environments for their own PHP projects (as opposed to running third-party applications such as Joomla! or WordPress). If you want your PHP application to be accessible at the root URL ( http://localhost/ ), you can simply copy your PHP files into the installdir/apache2/htdocs folder. For an example, take a look at phpinfo.
If you want to have several applications running on top of AMP Stack, we suggest that you create the same structure that we use when installing BitNami PHP applications. Recent versions of AMP Stack ship a demo application with this structure that can help you get started. Simply copy the installdir/docs/demo folder into the installdir/apps directory and add the following line at the end of the installdir/apache2/conf/httpd.conf file:
Include "installdir/apps/demo/conf/demo.conf"
Substitute installdir with the actual installation directory for your deployment.
Once you are done with the above, restart the Apache server. If you are running the stack in your desktop or laptop, you can use the bundled graphical Manager tool that is included in your installation directory.
You should be able to access the demo application at http://localhost/demo or http://localhost:8080/demo. You should see a "Hello world" message in your browser.
You can learn more about the BitNami PHP application structure here.
How can I access phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin?
phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin are popular web-based management tools for the MySQL and PostgreSQL databases.
How can I run a command in the AMP Stack?
All of the Native Installers for BitNami Stacks are completely self-contained and run independently of the rest of the software or libraries installed on your system. To work correctly, certain environment variables need to be set when you want to invoke commands to access different binaries, as explained below. Note that in virtual machines or AMIs, the environment is already loaded for the "bitnami" user automatically and the below is not necessary.
BitNami console is a script to load the Stack environment. This console is useful to run any command included in the Stack: mysql, php, openssl, ruby, rake among others.
On Linux:
$ cd installdir $ ./use_application
For instance, in Wordpress Stack:
$ cd /opt/wordpress-3.0 $ ./use_wordpress
On Windows:
There is a shortcut in Start -> BitNami Application Stack -> "Application console" or "Use Application Stack"
On OS X:
Open a Terminal and type the following:
hostname:~ user$ cd /Applications/application-version hostname:~ user$ ./use_application
For instance, in Wordpress Stack:
hostname:~ user$ cd /Applications/wordpress-3.0
hostname:~ user$ ./use_wordpress
Note: If you are using BitNami Cloud Hosting, a virtual machine or a Cloud image the Stack environment is loaded by default and you don't need to start the console.

Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel (22 July 1784 – 17 March 1846) was a German mathematician, astronomer, and systematizer of the Bessel functions (which were discovered by Daniel Bernoulli). He was a contemporary of Carl Gauss, also a mathematician and physicist. The asteroid 1552 Bessel was named in his honour.
Life and work[edit]
Bessel was born in Minden, administrative center of Minden-Ravensberg, as son of a civil servant. At the age of 14 Bessel was apprenticed to the import-export concern Kulenkamp at Bremen. The business's reliance on cargo ships led him to turn his mathematical skills to problems in navigation. This in turn led to an interest in astronomy as a way of determining longitude.
Bessel came to the attention of a major figure of German astronomy at the time, Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers, by producing a refinement on the orbital calculations for Halley's Comet in 1804. Within two years Bessel had left Kulenkamp and become an assistant at Lilienthal Observatory near Bremen. There he worked on James Bradley's stellar observations to produce precise positions for some 3,222 stars.
This work attracted considerable attention, and in January 1810, at the age of 25, Bessel was appointed director of the new founded Königsberg Observatory by King Frederick William III of Prussia. There he published tables of atmospheric refraction based on Bradley's observations, which won him the Lalande Prize from the French Academy of Sciences in 1811. Bessel was able to pin down the position of over 50,000 stars during his time at Königsberg.
With this work under his belt, Bessel was able to achieve the feat for which he is best remembered today: he is credited with being the first to use parallax in calculating the distance to a star. Astronomers had believed for some time that parallax would provide the first accurate measurement of interstellar distances—in fact, in the 1830s there was a fierce competition between astronomers to be the first to measure a stellar parallax accurately. In 1838 Bessel won the race, announcing that 61 Cygni had a parallax of 0.314 arcseconds; which, given the diameter of the Earth's orbit, indicated that the star is 10.3 ly away.[1][2][3] Given the current measurement of 11.4 ly, Bessel's figure had an error of 9.6%. He narrowly beat Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve and Thomas Henderson, who measured the parallaxes of Vega and Alpha Centauri in the same year.
As well as helping determine the parallax of 61 Cygni, Bessel's precise measurements allowed him to notice deviations in the motions of Sirius and Procyon, which he deduced must be caused by the gravitational attraction of unseen companions.[4][5][6] His announcement of Sirius's "dark companion" in 1844 was the first correct claim of a previously unobserved companion by positional measurement, and eventually led to the discovery of Sirius B.
An additional responsibility of Bessel at Königsberg was geodesy.[7] Bessel published a method for solving the geodesic problem;[8] he was responsible for the survey of East Prussia which joined the Prussian and Russian trianguation networks;[9] and he obtained an estimate of increased accuracy for the figure of the earth, nowadays referred to as the Bessel ellipsoid.[10][11]
Despite lacking a university education, Bessel was a major figure in astronomy during his lifetime. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1823, and the largest crater in the Moon's Mare Serenitatis is named Bessel after him. Bessel's work in 1840 contributed in some degree to the discovery of Neptune. In 1832, he was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[12] Bessel won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1829 and 1841.
In the second decade of the 19th century while studying the dynamics of 'many-body' gravitational systems, Bessel developed what are now known as Bessel functions. Critical for the solution of certain differential equations, these functions are used throughout both classical and quantum physics. Even in the absence of any work in astronomy, Bessel's role in developing the functions which now bear his name would have, by itself, placed him among the most significant and influential mathematicians of the 19th century.
Bessel is responsible for the correction to the formula for the sample variance estimator named in his honour. This is the use of the factor n-1 in the denominator of the formula, rather than just n. This occurs when the sample mean rather than the population mean is used to centre the data and since the sample mean is a linear combination of the data the residual to the sample mean overcounts the number of degrees of freedom by the number of constraint equations — in this case one.
He died in the spring of 1846 in Königsberg from retroperitoneal fibrosis.[13] This was several months short of the discovery of Neptune in the fall of that year, by his colleagues at Berlin Observatory.

Massachusetts Senator Files Bill Seeking To Expand Strength Of Melanie's Law
State Senator Robert Hedlund, a Weymouth Republican, has filed a bill designed to strengthen Melanie's Law by requiring ignition interlock devices for six months after a first drunk driving offense. In an effort to close "loopholes," his bill would also prohibit bundling (punishing two or more concurrent drunk driving offenses as one).
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has rated Massachusetts, which has adopted 4 of its 11 federal drunk driving recommendations, as being among the worst in the country when it comes to tough drunk driving policy. Some of the NTSB's recommendations include a zero BAC limit for repeat offenders, impromptu alcohol screening for offenders, and a prohibition on plea bargaining. Even Senator Hedlund admitted to the Boston Herald that "some of the criteria that the NTSB looked at, might venture into areas related to civil liberties."
It is well known that, time and again, lawmakers are influenced by the emotional pull surrounding strict OUI/DUI/drunk driving laws, and as a result, our constitutional protections are watered down. As Representative Eugene O'Flaherty, a Chelsea Democrat and House chairman on the judiciary committee, said to the Boston Globe, "The challenge is always how do you make sure that public safety is being enhanced while at the same time making sure that case law and constitutional safeguards are also protected.''
Of course, experienced Massachusetts OUI/DUI/drunk driving attorneys are always quickly alerted to any possible intrusions into these constitutional safeguards. Perhaps that is why Senator Hedlund blames the group of legislators who also work as criminal defense lawyers for rejecting measures to expand Melanie's Law, which is already one of the most restrictive drunk driving laws in the country, in previous sessions.

- For certain tribes in Papua New Guinea, ritualistic scarring is a right of passage for men and women.
A rough-and-ready photographer and a pampered writer ferry to the Bahamas. Will it be smooth sailing or rough seas?
The dream of so many island travelers is to not just visit the most beautiful places in the world, but to one day live there.
- There is something strange about this year's women's volleyball at the London 2012 Olympics. The competitors find themselves sprawled across the sand multiple times a match, yet if you look closely, there's no sand on the players.
- We go to the islands for the beach. Sure, hikes are nice. The food's memorable. And the beer is good. But what's all that without a pristine stretch of sand to sink the toes into? Punctuated by a purse snatching ... or grunting wild boars ... or machete- wielding villagers ... or venomous sea snakes. It has all happened to our intrepid contributors. But they'll allow nothing to come between them and their sacred day at the beach.
- Tokelau, a small island nation, is officially becoming the first habited place on Earth to completely rely upon solar for its energy needs. Tokelau is a tiny group of coral islands that have up to now used diesel fuel for the daily needs of its roughly 1,400 residents. Within the next few weeks, the nation will make the historic switch to solar.
- This is not an island, but we're sharing it with you anyway. At low tide a bulldozer emboses the sand with patterns made from old truck tires. It's called "A Sign in Space", and it is part of an international art project taking place from July 21st to September 23rd.
- At Islands we love exploring the worlds beaches. We've fallen in love with these ten from around the world.
- France's richest woman has just sold her island paradise in the Seychelles for three times more than she paid for it. Liliane Bettencourt, the L'Oreal heiress, is the center of a corruption investigation involving former French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
This year's Olympic Games are being tweeted, blogged and recorded by thousands of mobile phones. Here's a look back at the London 2012 opening ceremonies through the eyes of social media.

2011 Never Summer Heritage 158cm
**Note: Bindings NOT included & NO trades.** I've owned the Raptor, Evo-R, SL-R, pre-carbonium Heritage-R, but I consider this the best all-mountain board in Never Summer's lineup. This is the exact same board as this year's, just different graphics. Ridden around 20x but taken great care of, waxed every 2-3 days on the hill, always stored properly, and a professional base grind last year to make it as fast as new. Just gave it a fresh hot wax and tune so it just needs a scraping and you're ready to ride. Retails for $560. Asking just $300 including shipping & Paypal fees!! (Paypal payment only unless local pickup) Actual pics of the board. Looks even better in person b/c of the fancy carbonium topsheet.

CASSADAGA - Cub Scout Pack 219 in Cassadaga recently held its annual Pinewood Derby contest at the village fire hall.

A total of 19 boys participated. There were four individual heats for the Tigers, Wolves, Bears and Webelos. Winners of each den then raced one another to find out who would become the overall pack winner.

"Listen to the Wisdom of Your Body" Meditation
The Key to Happiness Literally Lies Within You
Are you sick and tired of searching for the answer to health and happiness outside of yourself? On the internet, at the doctors, in a book, on a course? We live in a world that tells us the more information we know, the better we will be able to live, heal and thrive.
This is just not true.
The answer to our health and happiness lies within us.
We look for the answers everywhere but inside ourselves. Did you know that your body already communicates with you all the time? Here are some of the ways- it talks to you daily, by telling you to:
and many other ways it stays in communication with you so that you can continue breathing, walk freely, and process food so that you remain nourished.
The problem that we have is that there is so much body hatred in our societies in both men and women that we generally ignore our bodies' wisdom in the pursuit of perfection.
How do we do this?
And on. And on. Does this sound familiar?
We have lost the ability to listen to the wisdom of your body and we rely on external signals to function. We eat at meal times, instead of when we are hungry. We go to bed because it is bedtime, rather than listening to our body.
Imagine if You Were Friends With Your Body?
Imagine if you were friends with it, rather than it's enemy?
Do you hate your nose? Your thighs? Your hair? Your teeth? Your rear? Your height? Your weight? Your legs? Your stomach? All of you?
So many of us spend so much time thinking about how to change those bits that we hate, and it is a sad reflection of our time that it is exceptionally rare to meet someone who loves themselves just the way they are.
Especially women.
Again the body is the vehicle in which we travel through this lifetime. It is on our side. It wants us to be healthy and happy. It wants to help us find peace, and avoid pain.
What if you could start having a conversation with your body, and the key organs in the body to find out what it needs from you?
In this meditation, you will be introduced to how to listen to the wisdom of your body in a gentle and kind way. You will be guided how to ask questions and to listen for answers.
Each time you do this meditation, you will be building a bond with the only person that matters to you, and that is you.
Self love is born from a good relationship with the body. By finding out what your body needs and wants, you can make changes to your life that will naturally enhance it and enable you to make decisions that are healthful and good for you.
What Would the Benefit Be of Listening to the Wisdom of Your Body?
Our body tells us what we need to eat in the present moment. It knows what is lacking and what is required.
It knows how to cure diseases, attack viruses, fight infections, heal wounds, and protect us from harm.
It knows how to regulate hormones, reduce stress, and balance temperatures around the body.
It is also our vehicle for this journey on earth, and for the most part, it is the only one we will have this lifetime.
Find out what your body is trying to tell you…

Beautiful Meditation Caroline. Your voice is so calm and peaceful.. I enjoyed the journey very much and felt you holding a very sacred place both in the silence and in the guided imagery.
Lisa Morris, USA.
I don't really know what I was expecting, but I do have to say it really resonated with me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be listening to it on a regular basis as funny enough I'd started the healing process with my body and I feel that this will help me along the way.
You truly are inspirational, thank you very much.
Claire Duggan – Jones, UK
I have never been able to listen so deeply to my body and specifically to the different organs than in this meditation. It gives you lots of insights into the connection of your mind & everything that troubles you with the functioning of your organs. What they need becomes very clear during the meditation & they really start to speak to you. It is Caroline's educated guidance that helps you to listen to them very easily. And then the healing comes in very profoundly. Thank you so much for taking the time & putting in the effort to make such a beautiful meditation that can help so many people!
Maria Henkes, Holland
I found it an excellent meditation Very relaxing and easy to follow and most of all enjoyable to listen to and would certainly recommend it to friends. Thank you.

I have been working at Dress Barn full-time for less than a year
Pros – Sincere dedication to their mission to inspire women. Great upper management that gives everyone an opportunity to contribute ideas. Stylish clothes at great prices. Excellent benefits and work environment.
Cons – Still working to provide newer tools at the store level, such as hand scanners. Allowing store managers to adjust inventory levels by dept. would help us react to local trends.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep lines of communication open, invest in new technologies.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

We have long known that the ability to manage money is vital to confidence and independence.
People tell us that doing their own shopping is very important to their self-esteem and sense of independence, but few blind and partially sighted people cope on their own.
New research funded by the Royal Bank of Scotland Group and carried out by RNIB, investigates the factors affecting the independent use of banking services for blind and partially sighted people.
This project focuses on those elements which currently restrict and isolate blind and partially sighted people from making cashless electronic payments and identifies ways forward to remove these restrictions. Published 2010.
This report presents findings from Network 1000 Survey 2. The data was collected during interviews with 884 people. The findings presented in this report focus upon the Disability Living Allowance and Attendance Allowance. Published 2008.
This report provides an update on travel, shopping, money, technology, reading and television. It is based on the findings from interviews with 176 blind and partially sighted people. Published 2012.

Contact Us
What is your "tipping point" for making a phone call to Changing Places? Here are a few common reasons that our clients have called us:
- A client may be on a wait list for a retirement home, with some time to get organized for the eventual move.
- One half of a couple may be in declining health or have a terminal illness. Often that person wants to get his affairs in order and provide for his spouse while still able to do so.
- Some clients have experienced a major health event such as falling and breaking a hip, or being diagnosed with diabetes or heart troubles.
- A year or so after the death of a spouse, some clients become frail themselves and need more support in their living arrangement.
These events are often overwhelming in themselves - why add the stress of organizing your own move into the mix?
Contact us for a free consultation, to determine your "aging in place" or moving needs:

Northam just completed a five year stint as NPR's National Security Correspondent, covering US defense and intelligence policies.

A native of Canada, Northam's first overseas reporting post was London, where she spent seven years covering stories on Margaret Thatcher's Britain and efforts to create the European Union.
Northam has received multiple journalism awards during her career, including Associated Press awards, regional Edward R. Murrow awards, and was part of an NPR team journalists that won an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"The weight of the card and the texture of the card was surprisingly heavy, the pristine white of the card allowed the colors of the design to really pop. It felt like the print was almost elevated, the colors worked beautifully together. I am Indian and the spiral designs reflect the type of design and style found in Indian fabrics and outfits. Everyone keeps telling me how much they love the design!! The only thing I would have done differently is make the light green color font a little darker, it printed a little too light and is hard to read."
"Everyone including the bride-to-be loved this invite. Get the designer review! It's free & well worth the extra day. The designer that reviewed my invite did an absolutely excellent job! It really made a difference in how the invite looked. I highly recommend these invites."
"We ordered wedding shower invitations and they turned out beautifully. The paper quality, wording options, ink color choices & the envelopes are excellent quality. I was referred by my sister who has used Wedding Paper Divas before and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. The invitations were also delivered in a timely manner & were packaged well so no corners were bent or torn."
"This product could not be any better! I purchased the larger rectangle envelopes because they did not require extra postage. I was worried it wouldn't look right, but the evnvelopes are specially designed to fit the invitation."
"This invitation for my daughter's bridal shower turned out very beautiful and elegant. Very professionally done! And the turnaround from approval of the proof to delivery to my front door was fantastic! I will most definitely use this company for future paper products like this!"

Adding water to a load of concrete may or may not be acceptable, depending on the parameters that must be met
Four basic steps for meeting new environmental labeling specs.
Ten years after NRMCA introduced its Prescription to Performance Initiative (P2P), the concrete industry continues to fine-tune how the program can enhance the relationship between producers and other members of the construction community, all in the name of developing better projects.

We're supplying concrete for a parking deck, to be placed by boom pump.

September of 2009 Repticon expanded West with Repticon Memphis, a great new show in an area that was long-overdue for a major reptile expo. Hosted at the Southaven Arena in Southaven, Mississippi, just 3 miles South of the Tennessee-Mississippi state line and 9 miles from the Memphis airport, guests from Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi had a chance to encounter a wide variety of reptiles and amphibians that they might not have had the opportunity to experience in their home cities. (Guests from outside of Mississippi purchasing pets to take home should check first to make sure their new pets are welcome by their local laws.) Repticon Memphis was also the second Repticon show to feature a venomous-included area, featuring non-native venomous snakes from around the world. Lots of herpers came out to the show from all over the tri-state area. The show returned twice in 2010 & 2011, so look now to 2012 and join us for what is becoming a new standard - Repticon Memphis!
