Climb Sweet Inspirations to the dinner plate jug just after the traverse crux. Do not clip the short draw at the end of the traverse. Instead, go straight up over the Inclinations roof and finish on Public. This slightly harder more direct variation is better all around than Sweet Inspirations.
Kimball, Matt said he sent this route, but have you done it, too?

The Official Games Radar Reviewer Handbook (Third Edition) cites two important criteria to look for when reviewing anime-based games. The first? They have to appeal to the fans of the anime. And the second? They also have to be fun enough to appeal to everyone else. Some games only manage the first point; a rare few manage both. Bandai's new One Piece: Grand Adventure is a textbook case of an anime game that is packed full of fan service but is lacking in areas of greater substance. Even so, it throws enough things into the pot that at least some of them will stick.

China lodged a protest with Japan after its ships entered an area in the west Pacific Ocean and disrupted military exercises being conducted there. Photo: AFP
China's Defence Ministry said on Thursday it has lodged a formal diplomatic complaint over what it called "dangerous provocation" by Japan for shadowing Chinese military exercises in the western Pacific.
Sino-Japanese ties have been strained for months by a dispute over tiny islands in the East China Sea believed to be surrounded by energy-rich waters. They have also been overshadowed by what China says is Japan's refusal to admit to atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers in China between 1931 and 1945.
Defence Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said that a Japanese naval and air patrol disrupted a Chinese live ammunition military drill last Friday, without giving the precise location.
Mr Yang also said Japanese patrols of ships and aircraft were gathering information about the exercises.
"Not only did this interfere with our normal exercises, but endangered the safety of our ships and aircraft, which could have led to a miscalculation or mishap or other sudden incident," Mr Yang told a news briefing.
"This is a highly dangerous provocation, and China's Defence Ministry has made solemn representations to the Japanese side," he added, according to a transcript of his remarks on the ministry's website.
Diplomatic complaints are normally lodged by the Foreign Ministry, so the Defence Ministry's unusual move signals the military's anger.
A former Japanese military officer told Reuters this week that the situation in the East China Sea was worrisome.
"As the Chinese are getting more active, we have more opportunities to confront each other," he said. "If something happens accidentally, it may very seriously deteriorate the bilateral relationship."
Ties between the two countries took a hit in September 2012 after Japan bought two of the disputed islets from a private owner, setting off a wave of protests and boycotts of Japanese goods across China.
China on Saturday criticised a Japanese media report saying Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had approved a policy for Japan to shoot down foreign drones that ignore warnings to exit its airspace.
Mr Abe has said Japan is ready to take a more assertive stance towards China.

Ruidoso, New Mexico
Twin Spruce RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Gravel roads and pads & sites with grill & picnic table. We camped in the lower level & found the sites long, wide & level with all utilities exceptional. Price reflects monthly rate & all utilities included. Propane available on site & discounted to residents. Management friendly, professional & accommodating. Although NOT a park issue, our satellite had occasional problems with the HD channels. The only possible negative might be the highway noise.
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Santa Fe KOA
[ 6/10 ]
All the previous negative comments are true. The first site we were given was unlevel to the point I asked for another site and was cheerfully given one that was level, but very tight. As others stated, the staff is very professional, pleasant and helpful. I was able to get onto the Wi-Fi at 6:30 AM but 6:30 at night, forget it. This park is way over-priced. We will stay elsewhere when in Santa Fe.
Ouray, Colorado
4J+1+1 RV Park & Campground
[ 7/10 ]
When we arrived, our first site was blocked by a trailer. Our second site was so far off level the front tires were off the ground. At the third site, the auto levelers over-corrected and when we lowered them, the windshield cracked. We had paid for three nights, but after the windshield incident, we decided to just leave after two nights. management refunded one nights rate. She wasn't obligated to do so and we did appreciate it. All previous positive and negative comments that we read are absolutely true. However, we were able to get satellite TV, Wi-Fi bounced in and out but worked, and the traffic on Oak street wasn't an issue. They sprayed a chemical on the road and there was NO dust.
Del Norte, Colorado
Woods and River
[ 7/10 ]
Great "overnighter". The manager was very helpful and accommodating. Sites are grass, but level. All utilities were good, and it was very quiet at night. It is a fair distance from Hwy 160 and you do have to travel several blocks on gravel city streets. We would stay here again if passing through.
Manitou Springs, Colorado
Pikes Peak RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
As other have stated, the owners and staff are exceptional. Our 40'er barely fit and with 4 slides out it was very tight. However, considering the sparkling restrooms, flawless utilities, closeness to downtown Manitou Springs and other attractions, we would definitely stay here again.
Wheatland, Wyoming
Mountain View RV Park
[ 5/10 ]
Like others have stated, it's good for an overnighter. No one in the office so used self-registration. We made a reservation so we had a pull-through site assigned. After we got in the site and got a good look around, I wish I could have got my money back and drove on to Cheyenne. Although leveling was a challenge, we were successful. 50 amp was good, water spigot was right at ground level(?) and we did not use their sewer hook-up. This is what you would expect from a facility that is probably 95% workers in a myriad of RVs, stray dogs, rough looking characters. We will definitely not stay here again.
Plankinton, South Dakota
Hill's RV Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Price reflects Passport America discount. Maybe it was just me, but park layout seemed odd and hard to figure out at first. Water and electric were both at the end to the site. If you left your vehicle hooked up, it was a long stretch for the water hose. Site (#24) was pea gravel and very level with nice grass between ample sites. Owner met me as we pulled in and said pick out a site and pay in the mini office next to the pool. While registering, I noticed that some park amenities are ala carte (ie use of pool $3.00). Payment is cash or check only, no credit cards. If passing through and needed to stop close by, I would definitely stay here again.
Georgetown, Texas
Berry Springs RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Rate represents Passport America discount. Check-in went flawlessly and the lady behind the counter was efficient, professional and friendly. Roads are asphalt, our long, pull through pad was crushed stone and there is a nice sized concrete patio. All utilities are located in a concrete pad of their own. Grass in our site needed mowing but I'm sure this was just a temporary issue. Sites are diagonal and you don't feel cramped. We would definitely stay here again when passing through.
Aransas Pass, Texas
Ransom Road RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
We thoroughly enjoyed this park. Check-in was easy by a very accommodating office staff that was efficient and professional. This quiet, well lit park has concrete roads and pads, a nice grassy strip between rigs (some with a nice sized palm tree) and a picnic table. They have a clean laundry room, handy mail room and a variety of activities in the rec room. Most residents are long-term but everyone is friendly and keep their sites clean and picked-up. Propane can be delivered to sites by a private company. A marina is just two blocks away and the fishing has been good (our neighbor hosted a couple of fish fries). We stayed here two and a half months. Rate represents monthly, water and sewer included, electric is additional and metered at $.15 p/kwh. Would definitely stay here again but would make reservations well in advance.
Aubrey, Texas
Shady Creek RV Park & Storage
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed here about two months to be close to family during the Holidays. Price reflects monthly rate but did not include electric ($.14 p/kwh) and water. The office staff and other workers are professional, courteous and have that "no problem, can do" attitude. The roads are all paved and sites are gravel. They are level or close to it. Our site was hard-packed at the front and a little soft in the back but, it was an easy fix. A huge plus for this park is they sell propane on site. They can't deliver to Class A rigs but it sure beats driving miles to buy propane. In spite of many work campers in the park, it is very quite and friendly and the sites are neat and clean; management wouldn't have it any other way. We would stay again and plan on coming back around the 1st of April.
San Antonio, Texas
San Antonio KOA
[ 8/10 ]
We were here with other family members who stayed in one of their cabins. This is the best KOA we've stayed at based on appearance and amenities. The park has paved roads, hard-packed sites and full of trees (we still had satellite signal). There are many things for kids and adults to do in the park and local area. The parks seems to be in "not the best neighborhood" but, it is gated, quite and we felt nothing but safe. We did take the bus downtown and although there was a myriad of characters, again, we felt nothing but safe and you couldn't beat the price. They have a food truck (The Chuck Wagon) and it was handy to stop there when we left on Sunday morning and the office makes a pretty good pizza too. The office staff and other workers were courteous, professional and knowledgeable about the local area. The only negative was that we felt they were a little over priced, especially the nightly rate for the cabin. We would stay here again.
Kyle, Texas
Plum Creek RV Park
[ 4/10 ]
Stayed here one night. Check-in went fine once the reservation was found and clerk figured out we were not staying for a month. Our drive through spot was easy to find/get into. The CG has MANY full time in a myriad of rigs and their outdoor decorations, stuff or just plain junk greatly distracts from this CG. The roads are narrow, rough and curvy which made negotiating our 40' rig with towed, very difficult. Rate reflects the Passport America discount; this is not a $40 a night CG. I would not stay here again.
Kerrville, Texas
By The River RV Park & Campground
[ 9/10 ]
Rate reflects PA for two days and Good Sam for one day; also, reflects four adults. Very pleasant experience with office personal from start to finish. We arrived after-hours and envelope with instructions was plainly visible. We were in site 52 which is a corner space that gave us a lot of room. Site was grass with a picnic table. Garbage dumpsters were right next to our site. Good thing/bad thing. It was very handy and didn't smell but I didn't need the wake up call at 6:10 AM when they came to dump them! Everyone had their dogs leashed and saw no waste. Lots of room to take the dogs for a walk along the river. Will definitly stay here again when in the area.
Roswell, New Mexico
Trailer Village RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Like previous posters stated, owners were great; the kind of people you would like to have as neighbors back home. Sites were long enough to leave the toad hooked up and wide enough to put out three slides and not see in your neighbors bedroom. Site was gravel, hook-ups were easy and it had a small concrete patio with picnic table. Cable service had many channels and reception was excellent. Would stay here again when in the area.
Lordsburg, New Mexico
Lordsburg KOA
[ 8/10 ]
Sites were long and wide enough for three slides. Did not have neighbors on either side so hard to get perspective of width. Roads and sites were gravel and fairly level. There were two "camp dogs" that roamed all over the CG. The little Chihuahua even had access to the office. Totally against parks rules; the dogs belonged to the owner/manager. Park was quiet; train and interstate noise barely noticeable. Having propane on site was handy. Would stay here again.
Alamogordo, New Mexico
Desert Paradise Mobile Home & RV Village
[ 7/10 ]
Appears CG is under renovation but did not interfere with setup. Pull-through sites are very long and wide enough for three slides. Roads were paved and sites were gravel and fairly level. We faced the mountains and it was beautiful. This park has a lot of permanent and long-term residents but park was very quiet and neat. Highway noise almost non-existent. Would stay here again.
Tombstone, Arizona
Wells Fargo RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
This CG is just a stones throw from all the action on Allen St. Park is gravel and fairly level. Sites are tight and you are close to your neighbor but was able to get all three slides out. The managers are absolutely great with knowledge of the area and assistance in the park. They had that "can do, no problem" attitude! Wi-Fi was painfully slow but managers were up front about this at registration. Apparently, it is a provider issue. Would definitely stay here again.
San Marcos, Texas
Pecan Park Riverside RV and Cabins
[ 8/10 ]
We arrived after the office had closed but instructions how to get into the park were easy to follow. Went to the office the next morning to settle. Site was a long pull through and I didn't need to unhook the toad. Concrete patio but gravel parking that was level. Park had some full timer but everything was clean. Nice fenced area to let the dogs run. A short walk to the river which was very clean. This park is far enough off the "beaten path" to be very quiet but close enough to make shopping at the outlet mall a reasonable drive. Had an issue with the cable but the manager came over and fixed it. Turns out it was me not knowing how to set my own television (dah). We would definitely stay here again.
Big Spring, Texas
Whip In RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Glad I made a reservation, manager was turning folks away as I was signing in at 4:00 pm. Oh, when you are signing in, beware of the "greater cat". She will jump up on the counter and if you pet her once pretty much that's all you're going to do during registration. Manager was great. All she had left was 50 amp but only charged us for 30 amp. She guided us to our site which was pea gravel but level. Easy on/off from I-20; the highway noise was tolerable. Many cable channels and Wi-Fi was great. Sites are a little narrow but got all three slides out and didn't feel cramped due to herring bone layout of CG. Great overnight stop and will stay here again.

I have seen many respected ballerinas perform this variation from "Don Q" but never have I been so impressed with the technical and musical phrasing as I am watching Maria Ricceto as she gives this performance.Her technique is perfect.Her musicality is inspiring.Her characterization of "Amor" or "Cupid" is delightful.I love how she attacks her soutenou (sp?)a little haphazardly to show the reckless side of love.In my opinion NO ONE DOES IT BETTER.Her Gaynors look great too!

SHE IS AMAZING! Her technique was beautiful, I loved it! She really made me believe that she was cupid!

Lost Shoe Doesn't Stop XTERRA Winner(Coatesville, PA) – Two days of rain leading up to the XTERRA Hibernia Park Blast Trail Run made for what runner Derek Schultz called "shoe sucking mud trails on a nice, sunny night." No one can attest to this better than overall winner Dan Dix who ran the last half mile of the course with just one shoe after losing it in the tough, sticky mud. The nail-biting men's race came down to a ten second lead by Coatesville's own Dan Dix and his five kilometer winning time of 16:06 over XTERRA newcomer Rich Bounds of Newark, Delaware. Dix has taken the XTERRA Philly Series by storm winning four of five races in 2009 and starting the 2010 season with a win just two weeks ago. York's James Rayburn rounded out the top three in 16:24 after placing runner-up at the XTERRA Warwick Park Revenge. No shoes were lost, but the women's race was just as thrilling as Lancaster's Charity Burkhart took a great six-second win over Glenna Champion in just 20:01. Charity took second at the first race of the season, but with winner Bianca Simpson on the sidelines with a cold, she took the open door and moved into first last night. Quakertown's Jerilyn Kucharski, a regular series standout took third in 21:03. The XTERRA Hibernia Park Blast Trail Run was the second of five races in the 2010 XTERRA Philly Trail Run Series. The top 15 runners in each age group will be awarded points toward their series totals, and those with the highest scores after the fifth and final race will be crowned XTERRA Philly Regional Champions and win free entry into the XTERRA Trail Running National Championship on September 18th in Bend, Oregon.

Providing tailored product recommendations is a proven way of boosting online sales, with two-thirds of companies (66%) stating that personalisation improves both customer experience and business performance.
Speaking at a Screen Pages ecommerce event recently, Emailvision personalisation director Neil Hamilton ran through some best practice tips for how to create effective homepage product recommendation banners.
The effectiveness of these blocks can be improved using personalisation, whereby the products shown are specifically tailored to the customer based on their past on-site behaviour.
Our new Realities of Personalisation Report, published in association with Monetate, found that just 30% of businesses currently personalise their websites based on a visitor's previous behaviour, so a majority of businesses are yet to implement the technology.

All ecommerce sites could benefit from having product recommendations, with research showing that they can potentially increase revenue by up to 300%, improve conversions by 150% and help boost the average order value by 50%.
However, the precise format varies from site to site and should be tested to make sure it's converting the maximum number of customers.
The copywriting needs to fit with the brand identity and it's also important to strike an emotive chord and pique the customer's interest.
This isn't an easy task considering the fact that you generally only have room for about three or four words, but there is still a great deal you can do with the limited space.

Here are some of the most interesting digital marketing stats we've seen this week.
Stats include mobile strategy, desktop use in Australia, personalisation, mobile search, tablet apps, ad targeting, international ecommerce sales and conversion rate optimsation.

The explosive growth of transactional and online shopper data means consumers are swamped with information. In just one internet minute, there are now 2m Google search queries, £83,000 in sales on Amazon.co.uk, 100,000 new Tweets and 6m Facebook views.
The retail industry is no exception. Whilst in-store product ranges are limited by the physical constraints of shelf-space, online retailers can display ten times the amount of products on their sites.
This leaves consumers with overwhelming choice. Yet research shows that most products are going un-noticed. As highlighted in a study undertaken by RichRelevance, only 44% of products online are getting attention; leaving 56% bypassed.
Furthermore, just 10% of products on an online retail site garner 75% of page views.
Bringing this back to the in-store metric, this is leaving over half of the shopping aisles in the dark.

Personalisation is widely seen as vital to the success of online businesses, yet new research shows that companies are some way off delivering cross-channel personalised experiences.
The Econsultancy/Monetate Realities of Personalisation Report shows that while 43% of companies currently deliver a personalised experience on desktop this figure falls to just 14% on tablet and 13% on mobile.
For both devices more than half of respondents (54%) stated that they plan to adopt personalisation in the next 12 months, but this needs to be treated with caution as the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
It also means that around a third of businesses have no plans to implement the technology.

Though more than nine out of ten marketers agree that personalisation is critical to their success, almost half of companies lack the necessary technology to properly implement website personalisation.
The findings come from the new Econsultancy/Monetate Realities of Personalisation Report, which found that 47% of companies cite IT roadblocks as a major barrier to adopting or improving website personalisation.
A similar number of respondents (46%) pointed to legacy technology, while 44% cited lack of budget.
In contrast, among respondents from marketing agencies lack of knowledge (54%) and inability to translate data into action (51%) took the first two spots.
Lack of budget and lack of staff are the third and fourth most cited barriers for both companies and agencies surveyed, highlighting the importance of prioritising resources that are often scarce.

The growing importance of delivering a personalised experience online is highlighted in a new Econsultancy and Monetate survey in which 94% of businesses stated that personalisation 'is critical to current and future success.'
Furthermore, the research found that for two-thirds (66%) of client-side respondents, both improved business performance and customer experience are the main drivers for personalising the website experience.
The Realities of Online Personalisation is based on a survey of more than 1,100 digital and ecommerce professionals working for brands and agencies, carried out in February 2013.

It's digital marketers' ultimate prize: consumers fill up the internet with their ideas, preferences and interests. (This is the big, big data, people!)
Turn that into real-time offers on your website, and jackpot! Angels sing. All the web's kittens dance. And you're badder than honey badger overnight.
A whole host of technologies have emerged to make this happen. Marketers have no problem finding solutions to personalise their websites.
The core challenge remains: what's the best way to do personalisation?
by Jonathan Lakin 19 March 2013 09:20am 6 comments
While browsing ecommerce sites recently I noticed several examples of retailers that use questionnaires as a way of delivering product recommendations.
It's not an approach you see that often, as sites more commonly recommend products using features such as 'Customers who bought this product also bought' or 'Popular products'.
But that doesn't mean questionnaires aren't an effective tool. In theory, asking customers for their preferences adds an element of personalisation to the shopping experience and makes the recommendations feel more relevant.
This could in turn lead to higher conversions as the customer feels more confident about their product choice.
But does it work in practice? To find out, I tried out product questionnaires on three very different retail sites...

Live chat is still a relatively new customer service channel, though it's proving to be an increasingly popular method of communicating with brands.
Stats from BoldChat show that more than 65% of US online shoppers have used live chat, up from 50.4% in 2009.
The figure is slightly lower in the UK but still growing at 53%, up from 41% in 2011.
The same research shows that 31% of respondents would be more likely to purchase after a live chat, however this stat should be treated with a decent amount of scepticism, as it's difficult for people to accurately predict their future purchase behaviour.

A generous selection of Poulenc's wonderful and varied liturgical works has been recorded here by Westminster Cathedral Choir, whose natural and unforced style of singing is perfectly suited to the composer's 'naïve', spontaneous outpourings. The Mass in G major is one of the most important a cappella works of the twentieth century, and includes some of Poulenc's most beautiful and tender music. |
Introduction |
The end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth was the era of the aesthetic cult. Two important musical groups had already made their impact: Les Apaches comprising Falla, Schmitt, Delage, Ravel, Inghelbrecht, Calvocoressi, Vuillermoz and Stravinsky (briefly), the painter Sordes and the poets Fargue and Klingsor; and The Five, under the leadership of Balakirevthe composers Borodin, Cui, Musorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov aimed to create a nationalist school of Russian music.
With this background, the imposing Übermensch of German musicWagnerand the virtual adoration of Belgian-born César Franck by his pupils (La Bandewho came to call him the Pater seraphicus), it is not surprising that a group of young French composers should formulate their own philosophy. These composersPoulenc, Auric, Durey, Honegger, Milhaud and Tailleferrewere to become known as Les Six. It is important to remember that Poulenc was eighteen in 1917 and must inevitably have been highly impressionable. It was through Erik Satie that Poulenc was able to meet many of the artists and musicians in Paris. Francis Poulenc (18991963) first sprang to the attention of Parisian musical circles as a member of Les Six, so named by the critic Henri Collet. Les Six began to feature together (initially as Les Nouveaux jeunes) in the same concert programmes in 1917 and they found a ready spokesman in Jean Cocteau who produced his manifesto Le Coq et larlequin the following year. This aesthetic document rejected romanticism and demanded that music should be overtly nationalistic and should shun foreign influences, particularly the excesses of Wagner. Negro art, the frivolous music of Satie, the music of the circus and jazz band, the primitive, machines, brevity and straightforwardness were all considered art forms or values worthy of admiration and emulation. Everyday life was considered to be a powerful subject matter by Cocteau; but, despite despising the refinement, sophistication and decorative excesses of the nineteenth century, Les Six enjoyed a gastronomic preference for under-done meat and extra-dry wines. By 1921 the group had begun to lose cohesion; of all the members of Les Six, Francis Poulenc remained true to the groups general frivolity; the other members had drifted away. Honegger, for example, never had any sympathy with Erik Satie and therefore with Les Six. Despite the groups anti-Debussyism which resulted from contact with Satie, Poulenc described how as a child he came close to kissing Debussys hat in a shop; in later years he said, Debussy always remained my favourite composer after Mozart. I could not do without his music. It is my oxygen. Poulenc was born into a wealthy family. His father was a devout Roman Catholic who had business interests in the pharmaceutical trade; the Rhône-Poulenc Company was one of the largest in Europe. It was his mother who gave him his interest in music and in 1915 he studied piano with Ricardo Viñes. The young composer had had no formal musical training, and felt the need to continue his musical education. He tried unsuccessfully to study with Ravel and Vidal before being taken under the wing of Charles Koechlin. It was Ravel who urged Poulenc to take a lower profile in the avant-garde musical world and to devote more time to his musical technique. It seems that Ravels advice came not a moment too soon, for Poulenc was on the verge of becoming inexorably associated with Les Six. Poulenc was called up into the forces in 1918 and was not demobilized until 1921. He studied with Koechlin between 1921 and 1924, taking time to visit Milhaud in Vienna, expressly to meet Schoenberg, Berg and Webern. On his return, Diaghilev commissioned him to write a ballet which resulted in Les Biches. It was this work which firmly established Poulenc as a composer. This reputation was further enhanced by the Concert champêtre (1929) written for Wanda Landowska. Poulenc wrote that the three great encounters of my life, which have profoundly influenced my art, are those with [the harpsichordist] Wanda Landowska, [the baritone] Pierre Bernac, and [the poet] Paul Éluard. Poulencs father died in 1917 and with him the young composers interest in Roman Catholicism. It was the death of one of his friends that was to lead to a rekindling of his faith and which heralded an important new phase in his creativityof which all the works on this recording are a product. In Poulencs own words: I am religious by deepest instinct and by heredity. I feel myself incapable of ardent political conviction, but it seems quite natural to me to believe and practise religion. I am a Catholic. It is my greatest freedom. Nevertheless the gentle indifference of the maternal side of my family had, quite naturally, led to a long fit of forgetfulness of religion. From 1920 to 1935 I was admittedly very little concerned regarding the faith. In 1936, a date of primal importance in my life and my career, taking advantage of a period of work with Yvonne Gouverné and Bernac at Uzerche, I asked the latter to drive me in his car to Rocamadour, of which I had often heard my father speak. I had just learned, a day or two before, of the tragic death of my colleague Pierre-Octave Ferroud. The atrocious extinction of this musician so full of vigour had left me stupefied. Pondering on the fragility of our human frame, the life of the spirit attracted me anew. Rocamadour led me back to the faith of my childhood. This sanctuary, certainly the most ancient in France, had everything to subjugate me. Clinging in full sunlight to a vertiginous craggy rock, Rocamadour is a place of extraordinary peace, accentuated by the very limited number of tourists. With a courtyard in front, pink with oleanders in tubs, a very simple chapel, half hollowed into the rock, shelters a miraculous figure of the Virgin, carved, according to tradition, in black wood by Saint Amadour, the little Zacchaeus of the gospel who had to climb a tree to see the Christ. The evening of the same visit to Rocamadour, I began my Litanies à la Vierge Noire, for womens voices and organ. In this work I have tried to express the feeling of peasant devotion which had so strongly impressed me in that lovely place. (from Francis Poulenc: Entretiens avec Claude Rostand, Julliard, Paris, 1954) In 1935 Poulenc began to appear regularly as accompanist to the baritone Pierre Bernac. The composer began to take an interest in the vocal music; from this period to the end of his life, Poulenc wrote many works for solo voice and piano. Prior to this new phase of creativity, Poulenc had written much for solo piano. One of the most frequent markings in his piano scores is avec les deux pédales, which gives a haze of sound. It is this sound which remains a characteristic of Poulencs work both as a pianist and as a composer. He was able to combine this haze of sound with the human voice in his choral music; the reverberation in a large building and the half-muted sounds of the voices in, for example, Quem vidistis from the Christmas motets bear witness to this. Poulenc often uses open, sustained vowel sounds or hummed passages to support a solo line. Examples are to be found in the Agnus Dei from the Messe, and the first, third and fourth of the Quatre petites prières de Saint François dAssise, scored for unaccompanied mens voices. The difficult Messe en sol majeur completed in August 1937 is one of the most important a cappella works to be written this century. It is dedicated to the memory of the composers father; the dedication, twenty years after his death, is a testament the depth of feeling hidden inside Poulenc and released through his new encounter with Roman Catholicism. The work is a missa brevisthat is to say that the Credo is omitted. The central section of the Kyrie (at the words Christe eleison) is one of the most beautiful passages in all of Poulencs choral music. This composer is capable of great tenderness in his musical compositions, and this is perhaps demonstrated most clearly in the haunting solo treble line of the Agnus Dei. It is interesting that some of the musical gestures learned in his youth and through Les Six gain a seriousness in his choral works which is most refreshing: the bass line at Qui tollis peccata mundi in the Gloria of the Messe; the frequent use of detaché chords and the whimsical nature of the Sanctus. The Quatre motets pour un temps de pénitence date from the late 1930s, the texts being taken from the offices for Holy Week, whilst the Quatre motets pour le temps de Noël date from the early 1950s. These pieces all have the same characteristics as the Messe but in the Christmas motets the short phrases show more cohesion within themselves. In Poulencs motets there is to be found a marvellous array of moods, from the darkness of Tenebrae factae sunt and O magnum mysterium, through the simplicity of Videntes stellam and Timor et tremor, the richness of Vinea mea electa and Quem vidistis, to the virtuosity of Tristis est anima mea and Hodie Christus natus est. The two motets Salve regina and Exultate Deo exhibit two contrasting facets of Poulencs choral writing: the simple, strict, four-part writing of the former and the complex multi-divisi textures of the latter. Poulenc had a great gift for lyricism, and a typical melody by this composer is often short and accompanied by the words sans ralentir in the hope of avoiding a sentimental approach to his music. It is perhaps this aspect of his music which is most appealing: a spontaneous melody, almost naive and free from self-conciousness. Poulencs choral style has been decribed as quirky. Whilst this may be so, all the music is of a very high quality and all identifiably from the same mould. Similar harmonic twists, melodic phrases and moods are re-used throughout his choral works. Laurence Davies has summarized Poulencs genius as follows: A Parisian with his roots in Touraine, a vulgarian with a connoisseurs sense of the exquisite, an innocent commuting to and from the infernal regions of art, a practical joker let loose in the temple of the immortalsthese and many other paradoxes could be used to describe the man who more than anything else remains quintessentially Poulenc for the truth is that, within this kingdom of the voice, Poulenc, for all his moon-struck folly, was of the royal line, and his summons will not be denied.

Professor Neil Walshe addresses the role of morality and virtue in organizational life, exploring the psychosocial processes and mechanisms through which moral constructions become moral behaviors. Dr. Walshe's research and teaching investigate the role of courage and cowardice in the workplace, as well as the subject of ethics in such contentious industry sectors as armaments and defense.
Dr. Walshe aims to develop greater insight into how employees construct and exhibit virtuous behavior at work. His recent research examines high-risk occupations such as ordnance disposal, private military contracting, and air traffic control. It aims to understand the role morality plays in occupational and organizational life, in addition to raising awareness of the costs of moral behavior at both the individual and organizational level.

The size of your breasts are mostly predetermined by genetics. Some women are not happy with what genetics has bestowed unpon them, and they try many things to get to the breast size of their dreams. To those in their teens, we ask that you be patient, as some ladies bossoms blossom older than others. It's not uncommon for someone not to blossom until 19 or so, and in some cases not until they have a child.
Natural breast enlargement is not a new discovery. According to Folklore medicine certain herbs have been used for centuries for naturally enlarging breasts. Many women dream of having larger breasts, many opt for breast implants. While the safety of breast implants is very controversial, many naturopaths recommend trying the natural breast enlargement method first using diet, pectoral exercises that lift the breast, and herbs that might prove helpful in providing a modest breast size increase.
The only thing new with natural breast enlargement pills using herbs, is that we now understand how and why certain herbs can cause breasts to enlarge which is a mastogenic effect. To fully understand natural breast enlargement, we will first explain what causes a female to develope breasts.
The female body around ages 10-13 goes thru what is called puberty. Prior to proberty, estrogens are secreted in small quantities. Following puberty however, the quantity of estrogens secreted under the influence of the pituitary hormones (FHS, LH) increases some 20 fold or more and attach to binder sites. At this time the female breast enlarges and changes from that of a child to that of an adult. Estrogens effect on the breast growth process causes fat deposition, development of the stromal tissues of the breast and growth of an extensive ductile system resulting in breast enlargement. Along with estrogen, progesterone and prolactin are secreted in higher quantities from the ovaries after puberty and again attach to binder sites. These two hormones are responsible for growth of the lobules and alveoli of the female breast determining growth and function of these structures. In summary, the estrogens initiate breast enlargement and are responsible for the characteristic external appearance of the enlarged mature female breast but do not complete converting the breasts into milk producing organs.
Progesterone promotes development of the lobules and alveoli of the female breasts causing the alveolar cells to proliferate to enlarge and to become secretory in nature. However, progesterone does not cause the alveoli of the female breast to secrete milk unless stimulated by prolactin from the pituitary. Progesterone causes the female breasts to enlarge partially due to changes in the lobules and alveoli, but also partly from increased fluid retention in subcutaneous tissues. The female body contains millions of protein binder sites upon which estrogen, progesterone and prolactin can attach to using only a fraction of what is available. Some herbs, are phytoestrogenic in nature which means they are chemical similar to estrogen, but weaker, can bind to these unused receptor sites, causing yet another significant increase in hormone levels, causing the female and male breasts to enlarge to their natural maximum size. This is the scientific approach to natural breast enlargement pills using herbs.
The side effect of birth control pills also increasing breast size is caused by this same principle
After childbirth and with normal aging it is common that as hormone levels drop, the breasts become less firm and full. It is in this group of ladies, that we see the greatest success with Ameri-Breast.
adverse affects of Fenugreek: Fenugreek has a cross sensitivity to peanuts, so if you are allergic to peanuts, you could also be allergic to Fenugreek. Fenugreek has also been shown to lower blood glucose levels when ingesting 10-15 grams twice daily. Fenugreek has also been known to leave an odor of maple syrup when ingesting 10-15 grams twice daily. Ameri-breast contains less than 10% of those dosages, and no one has reported low glucose or odor, but none the less we caution diabetics.
Fennel (foeniculum vulgare) Fennel is another estrogenic herb.
Adverse effects of fennel Fennel has Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in the US (4912). Fennel should be used if breast feeding. Reports of increased menstrual bleeding have also been reported.
Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) The berries of the plant is best known of its popularity in men. But a century again, this herb was best known as a folk approach to breast enlargement. Naturopathic physicians continue to recommend it for natural breast enlargement.
adverse effects of saw palmetto Saw Palmetto has Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in the US and has been used safely in clinical studies lasting up to a year.
Wild Yam. (Dioscorea villosa) Wild Yam extract has estrogenic properties.
Adverse effects: The comprehensive natural database list no known interactions between drugs, other herbs, or foods.

WEX Extends Its Existing Fuel-Price Risk Management Program
WEX Inc. (NYSE: WEX), a leading provider of corporate payment solutions, announced today that it has extended its existing fuel-price risk management program through the fourth quarter of 2014.
On June 7, 2013, the Company purchased instruments to cover a portion of its anticipated domestic fuel-price-related earnings exposure for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2014. At this time, WEX has hedged approximately: 60% of its second-quarter 2014 exposure, 40% of its third-quarter 2014 exposure and 20% of its fourth-quarter 2014 exposure. Going forward, the Company intends to hedge approximately 60% of its domestic fuel-price-related earnings exposure in every quarter on a rolling basis.
The instruments are designed to enhance the visibility and predictability of the Company's future earnings. The program uses instruments that create a "costless collar" based upon both the U.S. Department of Energy's weekly diesel fuel price index and NYMEX unleaded gasoline contracts. The June purchase locked in a fuel price range of approximately $3.37 to $3.43 per gallon. The following table states the approximate range of the collar and percentage of fuel-price-related earnings exposure:
2013 | 2013 | 2013 | 2014 | 2014 | 2014 | 2014 | ||||||||||||||||
Average low end of range | $3.44 | $3.47 | $3.36 | $3.38 | $3.36 | $3.40 | $3.37 | |||||||||||||||
Average top end of range | $3.50 | $3.53 | $3.42 | $3.44 | $3.42 | $3.46 | $3.43 | |||||||||||||||
Approximate % locked in | 80%* | 60%* | 60%* | 60%** | 60%** | 40%** | 20%** |
*At the time of execution, 2013 hedges were established without consideration of Fleet One volumes (WEX acquired Fleet One in October 2012).**2014 hedges have been established with consideration of Fleet One volumes.

It is the day of the safety. Three of them scored in the first quarter in different games. KO return for -1 yard. QB fumbling out of end zone. Blocked punt.
Jamaal Charles off to a good start with 48 yards on 10 carries and a touchdown. Jacksonville looks a good bet to go 0-16. In its first five possessions, it managed four 3 and outs and a first down immediately followed by an INT.
Adrian Peterson is working on an interesting day. Started with a 78 yard TD run on the first play. 7 carries for -8 yards and a touchdown after that.
This post was edited by bierce on 9/8/2013 at 1:27 PM
Charles back on the field after been taken out early in the third quarter. Now with 78 yards on 15 carries, 23 yards on 3 receptions.
Jacksonville has 58 yards in 40 plays.
Stadium is 1/3 full at best. Hardly enough to even hear the boos.
INT for TD by KC defensive end. 28-2. Jacksonville with 56 yards in 43 plays with 2 ints.

Bonehead play of the day--TB pushed Geno Smith down after he crossed out of bounds while scrambling to get to the TB 45 with just seconds left. Ball now at the TB 31. FG good. Jets win. Well, 2 seconds left, but that's probably it.
The Geno Smith legend begins. Ball at the 20 with 35 seconds left. Incomplete. Complete middle for 25. Spike. Scramble + penalty. FG for the win.

heartinlatteRecently, the Wall Street Journal had an interesting piece by Elizabeth Bernstein on The Divorce's Guide to Marriage. It discusses marriage research by Terri Orbuch (I draw on this research myself, in Happier at Home) in which divorced people were asked what they'd learned about relationships from that experience.
No surprise, they emphasize the importance of "affective affirmation," which is psych speak for making loving gestures such as kissing, hand-holding, giving compliments, and saying "I love you." Fact is, people do feel closer to each other when they regularly demonstrate loving feelings.
Orbuch reports that divorced people identified four important ways to show affection:
1. How often a spouse showed love
2. How often a spouse made a person feel good about the kind of person he or she was
3. How often a spouse made a person feel good about having individual ideas and ways of doing things
4. How often a spouse made life interesting or exciting.
After I read Orbuch's research in 5 Simple Steps To Take Your Marriage from Good to Great, as part of the research for Happier at Home, I made the resolution to "Kiss in the morning, kiss at night." (Related to my resolution to "Hug more, kiss more.") It might seem a bit silly to have a schedule for something like kissing my husband, but I realized that making frequent gestures of affection and connection is very important. It definitely makes me happier.
This list above is interesting to me, though, because it expands on the idea of showing affection. People in a relationship don't want just to hold hands, though that's important; they want to feel worthy, admirable, and interesting.
It's helpful for me to think about this, because in my happiness project, I tend to think more about stopping negative behaviors than adding positive behaviors. For instance, I try to curb my very definite tendencies to keep score, to "talk in a mean voice" as we call it in our house, and to try to pin the blame for things on my husband. (You see why I work on these tendencies!)
Do you think that "affective affirmation" is important to you, in your relationship? What are some ways that you regularly show affection?
Also ...
I just met Adam Gilbert of My Body Tutor in person--what a fun conversation. If you're interested in figuring out how to eat more healthfully and to exercise more regularly, check out his site. Lots of great material there.
