Manoj Shyamalan (/ˈʃæməlɑːn/; born 6 August 1970), known professionally as M. Night Shyamalan, is an Indian-American screenwriter, film director, and producer known for making movies with contemporary supernatural plots including The Sixth Sense (1999), Unbreakable (2000), Signs (2002), The Village (2004) and The Happening (2008). He is also known for filming and setting his movies in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was raised.
Most of Shyamalan's commercially successful films were co-produced and released by the Walt Disney Studios' Touchstone and Hollywood film imprints.
In 2008, Shyamalan was awarded the Padma Shri by the government of India.[3]
Shyamalan was born in a Hindu household in Mahé, Puducherry, India.[2][4] His father, Nelliate C. Shyamalan, is a traditional physician (Vaidyar) from Mahé. His mother, Jayalakshmi, is Tamil and is an obstetrician and gynecologist by profession.[5] In the 1960s, after medical school (at the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research in Pondicherry) and the birth of their first child, Veena, his parents moved to the United States. His mother returned to India to spend the last five months of her pregnancy at her parents' home in Chennai.
Shyamalan spent his first six weeks in Puducherry, and then was raised in Penn Valley, Pennsylvania, an affluent suburb of Philadelphia. Although Hindu, he attended the private Roman Catholic grammar school Waldron Mercy Academy, followed by the Episcopal Academy, a private Episcopal high school located at the time in Merion, Pennsylvania. Shyamalan earned the New York University Merit Scholarship in 1988.[6] Shyamalan is an alumnus of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, in Manhattan,[7] graduating in 1992. It was while studying there that he adopted Night as his second name.[8]
Shyamalan had an early desire to be a filmmaker when he was given a Super-8 camera at a young age. Though his father wanted him to follow in the family practice of medicine, his mother encouraged him to follow his passion.[9] By the time he was seventeen the Steven Spielberg fan had made forty-five home movies. On each DVD release of his films (beginning with The Sixth Sense and with the exception of Lady in the Water), he has included a scene from one of these childhood movies which he feels represents his first attempt at the same kind of film.
Shyamalan made his first film, the semi-autobiographical drama Praying with Anger, while still a student at NYU, using money borrowed from family and friends.[10] It was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 1992, and played commercially at one theater for a week in rural Woodstock, Illinois.[citation needed]
Shyamalan wrote and directed his second movie, Wide Awake, in 1995, though it was not released until 1998.[citation needed] His parents were the film's associate producers. The drama dealt with a ten-year-old Catholic schoolboy (Joseph Cross) who, after the death of his grandfather (Robert Loggia), searches for God. The film's supporting cast included Dana Delany and Denis Leary as the boy's parents, as well as Julia Stiles and Camryn Manheim. Wide Awake was filmed in a school Shyamalan attended as a child[11] and earned 1999 Young Artist Award nominations for Best Drama, and, for Cross, Best Performance.[12] Only in limited release, the film grossed $305,704 in theaters, against a $6 million budget.[13]
That same year Shyamalan co-wrote the screenplay for Stuart Little with Greg Brooker. In 2013, he revealed he was the ghost writer for the 1999 film She's All That, a teen comedy starring Freddie Prinze Jr and Rachel Leigh Cook.[14] However this statement has come into question as the credited screenwriter for the film, R. Lee Fleming Jr., denied Shyamalan's involvement in a now deleted tweet.[15]
Shyamalan gained international recognition when he wrote and directed 1999's The Sixth Sense, which was a commercial success and later nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
In July 2000, on The Howard Stern Show, Shyamalan said he had met with Steven Spielberg and was in early talks to write the script for the fourth Indiana Jones film. This would have given Shyamalan a chance to work with his longtime idol, Steven Spielberg.[16] After the film fell through, Shyamalan later said it was too "tricky" to arrange and "not the right thing" for him to do.[17]
Shyamalan followed The Sixth Sense by writing and directing Unbreakable, released in 2000, which received positive reviews.
Shyamalan's name was linked with the 2001 film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but it conflicted with the production of Unbreakable. In July 2006, while doing press tours for Lady in the Water, Shyamalan had said he was still interested in directing one of the last two Harry Potter films. "The themes that run through it...the empowering of children, a positive outlook...you name it, it falls in line with my beliefs", Shyamalan said. "I enjoy the humor in it. When I read the first Harry Potter and was thinking about making it, I had a whole different vibe in my head of it".[18]
His 2002 film Signs, where he also played Ray Reddy, gained both critical and financial success. His next movie The Village (2004) received mixed reviews from the critics, but turned out to be a financial success.
After the release of The Village in 2004, Shyamalan had been planning a film adaptation of Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi with 20th Century Fox, but later backed out so that he could make Lady in the Water. "I love that book. I mean, it's basically [the story of] a kid born in the same city as me [Pondicherry, India] — it almost felt predestined", Shyamalan said. "But I was hesitant because the book has kind of a twist ending. And I was concerned that as soon as you put my name on it, everybody would have a different experience. Whereas if someone else did it, it would be much more satisfying, I think. Expectations, you've got to be aware of them. I'm wishing them all great luck. I hope they make a beautiful movie".[19]
Released in 2006, Lady in the Water performed worse critically and financially. The film The Happening (2008) was a financial success but also received negative reviews. In 2010, he directed The Last Airbender, based on the Nickelodeon TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender. It received extremely negative reviews in the United States and won five Razzie Awards, but it made nearly $320 million internationally at the box office.
In July 2008, it was announced that Shyamalan had partnered with Media Rights Capital to form a production company called Night Chronicles. Shyamalan would produce, but not direct, one film a year for three years.[20] The first of the three films was Devil, a supernatural thriller directed by siblings John and Drew Dowdle. The script was written by Brian Nelson, based on an original idea from Shyamalan.[21] The movie was about a group of people stuck in an elevator with the devil, and starred Chris Messina.[22] The film was not previewed by critics before its release, eventually receiving mixed reviews. Devil was not a blockbuster hit, but has become a commercial success relative to its budget. The next film in the Night Chronicles series will be called Reincarnate. It will be scripted by Chris Sparling and directed by Daniel Stamm.
Shyamalan currently has three television projects in production and varied stages of development. The first, titled Proof, has been sold to the Sci-Fi channel, the second is being developed with NBC reportedly titled Lost Horizon and the third is an off-beat thriller titled Wayward Pines, adapted from the novel of the same name and will be made for FOX.
In 2004, Shyamalan was involved in a media hoax with Sci-Fi Channel, which was eventually uncovered by the press. Sci-Fi claimed in its "documentary" special—The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan, shot on the set of The Village—that Shyamalan was dead for nearly a half-hour while drowned in a frozen pond in a childhood accident, and that upon being rescued he had experiences of communicating with spirits, fueling an obsession with the supernatural. The Sci-Fi Channel also claimed that Shyamalan had grown "sour" when the "documentary" filmmakers' questions got too personal, and had therefore withdrawn from participating and threatened to sue the filmmakers.[citation needed]
In truth, Shyamalan developed the hoax with Sci-Fi, going so far as having Sci-Fi staffers sign non disclosure agreements with a $5-million fine attached and requiring Shyamalan's office to formally approve each step. Neither the childhood accident nor the supposed rift with the filmmakers ever occurred. The hoax included a non-existent Sci-Fi publicist, "David Westover", whose name appeared on press releases regarding the special. Sci-Fi also fed false news stories to the Associated Press[23] and Zap2It,[24] among others. A New York Post news item, based on a Sci Fi press release, referred to Shyamalan's attorneys threatening to sue the filmmakers; the attorneys named were non-existent.
After an AP reporter confronted Sci-Fi Channel president Bonnie Hammer at a press conference, Hammer admitted the hoax, saying it was part of a guerrilla marketing campaign to generate pre-release publicity for The Village. This prompted Sci-Fi's parent company, NBC Universal, to state that the undertaking was "not consistent with our policy at NBC. We would never intend to offend the public or the press and we value our relationship with both."[25]
In 1993, Shyamalan married psychologist Bhavna Vaswani, a fellow student whom he met at NYU[26] and with whom he has three daughters. His family resides in Willistown, Pennsylvania, near Shyamalan's usual shooting site, Philadelphia. His production company, Blinding Edge Pictures, is located in Berwyn, Pennsylvania.[27]
Shyamalan founded Blinding Edge Pictures, a film production company based in Berwyn, Pennsylvania.[28] It has produced The Happening, Lady in the Water, The Village, Signs, Unbreakable and The Last Airbender. It is run by Night and Jose L. Rodriguez. In 2012 the company started production on After Earth with Will Smith and Jaden Smith.

With the exception of The Sixth Sense, a common criticism of Shyamalan's works is that they feature better direction than screenwriting.[50][51] He has also been labeled a "one-trick pony" for his continuous use of the "twist" element in his screenplays.[50] After the release of The Village, Slate's Michael Agger noted that Shyamalan was following "an uncomfortable pattern" of "making fragile, sealed-off movies that fell apart when exposed to outside logic."[52]
On a May 31, 2008, interview with the London Independent, Shyamalan offered this answer to the question about his "one-trick" movies: "[A common misperception of me is] that all my movies have twist endings, or that they're all scary. All my movies are spiritual and all have an emotional perspective."[53]
Robert McElhenney, a Pennsylvania screenwriter, sued Shyamalan in 2003, alleging similarity of Signs to his unpublished script Lord of the Barrens: The Jersey Devil.[54][55]
In 2004, Margaret Peterson Haddix noted that The Village has numerous similarities to her young adult's novel Running Out of Time, prompting discussions with publisher Simon & Schuster about filing a lawsuit.[54][55][56]
In response to both allegations, Disney and Shyamalan's production company, Blinding Edge, issued statements calling the claims "meritless".[56]

I just looked over a post on your custom gauge pods. I work at a machine shop and I have been working on an aluminum pod to replace my HVAC controls with 3 2-1/6 gauges. I like the design with the stainless steel and toggles under the stereo, I already have toggles there. How much to make me one of those? I'll be your test dummy, I had that exact idea in mind. Let me know, maybe we can work out a deal.
Hello, I saw a post you had in the interior mods thread: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=742264 I've just done some work on my door panels, and I like the speaker covers you have in the second picture. The ones that are kind of rectangular. Did you make them? If so, how did you make the frame part? If you bought them, would you mind telling me where you found them? Thanks! John

Good times!
Glad to be back amongst.. uh.. trees! I won't miss the constant and inescapable clattering of slot machines, and the smell of sweat and cigarette smoke, that's so unavoidable in Vegas. Don't think I'll ever go back again, but hey.. now I've seen it as an adult. I remember trips there with my Dad and his fishing buddies.. and Circus Circus. Still there! One part of old Vegas that hasn't given away to the bulldozers.

Clif shot, especially in lemonade, tastes way better than gatorade. A little rougher particles at the bottom, but most dissolve with a good shake. For camping, get the single use packets and make it up by the big pot or pitcher and chill.
How many scoop are in one container?

How many scoop are in one container?

Hey Adam,
I'm not sure if you are asking about the amount of scoops per container or if there is a scoop included in the container. If my math is right and the specs are correct 22.5 scoops per container.
Member since
i was asking for the amount of scoops. Okay good to know, thanks a lot
Not Bad

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I would definitely say that you need 2 scoops to get the flavor to be just right. 1 scoop definitely makes it taste very chalky. Overall great taste and not a bad aftertaste that Gatorade gives.

The La Vista City Council's recent support for a $42 million Civic Center Park plan does not mean that the city has committed any public funds for its construction, Mayor Doug Kindig says.
Last week, the council voted unanimously to adopt the master plan for a 56-acre downtown park with a larger lake, amphitheater, boathouse and upgraded playgrounds.
La Vista has yet to identify the financing that would pay for the park. Kindig said previously that officials were looking at a combination of grants, private partnerships, bonds and a possible half-cent increase in the city sales tax to one day fund the costly project.
"This is a long-term blueprint," Kindig said at the Tuesday meeting. "It's 10, 15, 20, 25 years down the road. I would think future councils would be wise enough, as this one has been, not to spend money foolishly and only when they have it."
The master plan, a key component of La Vista's Vision 84 downtown revitalization plan, calls for multiple construction phases.
The initial five phases would cost $14.8 million for a lake expansion, walking trails, the completion of the Thompson Creek restoration and new structures such as an amphitheater for concerts and other events.
Six additional phases of optional add-ons would cost an additional $26.8 million.
"When the time is right for any of the phases and financing can be found, then you could move ahead," said Dolores Silkworth, a landscape architect at RDG Planning & Design, the consultant for the park project. "These phases were designed in movable chunks. The expectation is you don't have to complete everything in a calendar year."
City Council members said they have seen the plan several times before, as it evolved through community forums, working groups and City Planning Commission meetings.
"This has been a long process and a very thorough one, and I'd especially like to thank the public for their enthusiastic participation in the process," Councilman Kelly Sell said. "This is definitely going to be a plan I would think is a consensus of the general public."
Not so fast, Councilman Ron Sheehan said. He pointed out that the city thought it had public support when it floated two multimillion-dollar proposals for a new water park, in 2008 and 2012, only to see residents balk at the price tag and reject the two bond issues at the polls.
"These are today's prices. What will this cost in the future?" Sheehan asked.
"These aren't going to be the same numbers one year from now or five years from now. It's going to go way up. Let's find the funding mechanisms before we start doing all this stuff."
Still, Sheehan said, he liked the plan and voted in favor of adopting it.
Kindig said having a detailed plan that has been adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council puts La Vista in a better position to win grants.
Said Councilwoman Terrilyn Quick, "I think it's very visionary. We've taken this and we've done a good job of involving everyone. It's a vision, it's a blueprint, it's an objective."

Irish is home to some of the most unique traditions and superstitions, and this is especially true when it comes to ringing in the New Year.
Centuries ago it was customary to begin the New Year with a spotlessly clean house. As a result houses were thoroughly cleaned as it signified a fresh start to the New Year.
Another tradition involved banging on doors and walls of the house with Christmas bread to chase the bad luck out of the house and invite the good spirits in.
On New Year's night, families would remember those who has passed away that year before by setting a place for them at the dinner table and leaving the door unlatched.

A lot of meaning was also placed on who would be the first person to pass through the door on New Year's day. If it was a tall dark handsome man, this would bring the home and it's occupants good luck but if it was a red haired girl it would bring hardship and grief.
Those who were single were advised to place sprigs of mistletoe, holly and ivy leaves under their pillow so they would dream of their future wives and husbands.
At midnight many would enter the house through the front door and leave through the back door for good luck.

Kong Qui, better known as Confucius, was born in 551 B.C. in the Lu state of China. His teachings, preserved in the Analects, focused on creating ethical models of family and public interaction, and setting educational standards. He died in 479 B.C. Confucianism later became the official imperial philosophy of China, and was extremely influential during the Han, Tang and Song dynasties.
Early Life
Confucius, also known as Kong Qui or K'ung Fu-tzu, was born August 27, 551 B.C. in Tuo, China. Little is known of his childhood. Records of the Historian, written by Ssu-ma Chi'en (born 145 B.C.; died 86 B.C.) offers the most detailed account of Confucius' life. However, some contemporary historians are skeptical as to the record's accuracy, regarding it as myth, not fact. According to Records of the Historian, Confucius was born into a royal family of the Chou Dynasty. Other accounts describe him as being born into poverty. What is undisputed about Confucius' life is that he existed during a time of ideological crisis in China.
Philosophy and Teachings
During the sixth century B.C., competing Chinese states undermined the authority of the Chou Empire, which had held supreme rule for over 500 years. Traditional Chinese principles began to deteriorate, resulting in a period of moral decline. Confucius recognized an opportunity—and an obligation—to reinforce the societal values of compassion and tradition. His social philosophy was based primarily on the principle of "ren" or "loving others" while exercising self-discipline. He believed that ren could be put into action using the Golden Rule, "What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others." (Lunyu 12.2, 6.30).
Confucius' political beliefs were likewise based on the concept of self-discipline. He believed that a leader needed to exercise self-discipline in order to remain humble and treat his followers with compassion. In doing so, he would lead by positive example. According to Confucius, leaders could motivate their subjects to follow the law by teaching them virtue and the unifying force of ritual propriety.
His philosophy of education focused on the "Six Arts": archery, calligraphy, computation, music, chariot-driving and ritual. To Confucius, the main objective of being an educator was to teach people to live with integrity. Through his teachings, he strove to resurrect the traditional values of benevolence, propriety and ritual in Chinese society.
Major Works
Confucius is credited with writing and editing some of the most influential traditional Chinese classics. These include a rearrangement of the Book of Odes as well as a revision of the historical Book of Documents. He also compiled a historical account of the 12 dukes of Lu, called the Spring and Autumn Annals. Lunyu, which sets forth Confucius' philosophical and political beliefs, is thought to be compiled by his disciples. It is one of the "Four Books" of Confucianism that Chinese philosopher Zhu Xi, a self-proclaimed Neo-Confucian, published as Sishu in 1190. Far-reaching in its influence, Lunyu was later translated into English under the title The Analects of Confucius.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Charleston police officer has been charged with domestic battery for allegedly grabbing his girlfriend by the throat and hitting her.
Daniel Adam Dodd became violent with his girlfriend during an argument at their home on Deer Creek Drive in St. Albans, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court on Thursday.
Dodd, a patrolman with the Charleston Police Department for about four years, is on paid administrative leave until the case is resolved, said Charleston police Capt. Kevin Perdue. Police Chief Brent Webster is out of town this week.
According to the complaint, Dodd hit his girlfriend, Drema Dawn Pearson, choked her and pushed her down.
Pearson had bruises on her back, arm, thigh and neck, said State Police Trooper B.H. Moore of the South Charleston detachment.
The incident happened Wednesday evening and the victim and a witness reported it Thursday, according to Moore and the complaint.
"[Dodd] also had marks on him where she scratched him on the eye and a couple of places," Moore said. "I don't know if he will file anything. ... Apparently there is a history between the two."
Pearson was expected to meet with police again, he said.
Things must be looked at properly before disciplinary or punitive action could be taken, Perdue said. "I am sure there will be an internal investigation, but it's early," he said.
Lt. James A. Sands is the only other officer on administrative leave with the Charleston force, he said. Sands was placed on administrative leave in early June. Police have declined to comment on whether his leave is related to allegations that he worked for another employer while on the clock for Charleston.
Charleston police Lt. Steve Neddo, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge No. 74, said he could not recall when the last officer was placed on administrative leave in connection with domestic battery.
"It's not been recently," he said. He emphasized that Dodd was on administrative leave because he is innocent until proven guilty.
Dodd was released on a personal recognizance bond and instructed not to have any contact with Pearson, according to the complaint.
To contact staff writer Gary Harki, use e-mail or call 348-5163.

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order.

XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3 for now, but adventurous users can override it in /etc/make.conf. When XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it is set to 4, the dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries. When XFREE86_VERSION=4, the PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS and ALWAYS_BUILD_DEPENDS hacks to avoid messing with XFree86 are turned off.

San Clemente Green was not an anti-nuclear group until whistleblowers from San Onofre came to me to protect them from harrasment for reporting safety concerns. With first hand knowledge of the most dangerous nuclear power plant in the USA, turning away from the issue is not an option for me. Trying to balance my efforts between activism and my career in architectural illustration is a constant challenge. With so much at stake, nearly everything else gets put off when there is a call to action on the nuclear power issue. As more people become aware of the dangers my hope is that the movement will grow large enough to overcome the huge amounts of influence the industry has over its regulators and government officials. People power is our only hope for a future without nuclear power.

Getting Health Information Online
About five months ago, I woke up with a tickle in my throat. I didn't feel sick and my temperature was normal, but every time I swallowed, it felt as if a grain of sand were stuck somewhere near my tonsils. I looked in the mirror and said aah -- and to my surprise, I saw a row of six bumps on the back of my tongue.
I freaked.
Thought number one: I had contracted some bizarre STD of the mouth (even though I was in a long-term monogamous relationship). Thought number two: Oh my gosh, it must be throat cancer (although I hadn't touched a cigarette in ages).
I canceled my date with the stairclimber and headed straight for my computer, where I typed "bumps on tongue" into Google. I jabbed "enter" and 934,000 Web pages popped up. After clicking through message boards on which similarly freaked-out people had written in about the exact same problem, this is what I learned. According to the Internet, I had enlarged circumvallate papillae taste buds, a term used to describe bumps that form a small V where your tongue meets your throat and apparently swell from time to time for no good reason. I double-checked in the mirror to make certain that mine formed a V, and sure enough, they did. My heartbeat slowed and I decided I'd make it to the gym after all (and that I didn't have to waste my time or money on a doctor's appointment).
According to a study by Manhattan Research, a drug and healthcare market-research company, 145.7 million Americans went online in 2008 for health-related reasons, and 70 percent of those surfers consulted the Internet for health information at least monthly.
Now the Web is expanding into new terrain: assessing not only your potential illnesses but also the physicians you pay to prescribe a cure. Just a few clicks and you're able to uncover some decent dirt on your doc -- his med-school track record, papers published, comments from peers. But as with online health advice, knowing which sites are reputable and which are based on rumor is key.

For the Daily Telegraph
West Virginia Education Association President Dale Lee met with Sens. Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin Monday to discuss the devastating effects of sequestration — automatic federal spending cutbacks — if the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction fails to identify at least $1.2 trillion in budgetary savings over the next 10 years.
Scheduled to take effect Jan. 2, as stipulated in the Budget Control Act of 2011, billions of dollars are expected to be stripped from education.
According to figures released by the federal Office of Management and Budget, the National Education Association reports nearly $7.9 million in cuts to Title 1 in West Virginia would affect 10,000 low-income students.
Likewise, Head Start would be cut by $4.78 million and Special Education Grants would be cut $6.2 million in West Virginia.
Other federal programs slated to be cut in West Virginia are Rural Education ($278,000), Vocations Rehabilitation State Grants ($2.1 million), 21st Century Learning Centers ($582,000), among others.
"Sens. Manchin and Rockefeller are strong advocates for West Virginia and are both strong advocates for a deal that will protect the average American and protect West Virginians," said Lee. "We want to show them that they are supported here in West Virginia and we want to ensure Congress makes cuts that are fair instead of sticking it to the everyday American."
The education association supports making sure the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans are paying their share of taxes, he said.
Lee explained that in many ways, West Virginia is piloting programs like Universal Free Meal Programs across several counties and statewide Universal Pre-K that set us ahead of other states.
These cuts, as slated for Jan. 2 without a passed budget, would affect many of these programs. Cuts to Head Start would drop funding for a total of 650 students and affect 260 jobs statewide.
In all, more than 550 jobs across the state could be lost, according to the National Education Association.
"Large cuts across the board like this would eliminate some of the class offerings students have available to them and will make it harder to assure we have highly qualified teachers in front of all students," Lee said.
Already more than 600 classrooms in West Virginia do not have a certified teacher, he added.
West Virginia has more than 60 percent of students in poverty.
Lee, who is a special education teacher at Princeton High School, added that cuts to special education often affect course offerings and classroom sizes, which in turn effect student achievement.
"Cuts to education are cuts that don't heal," he added.
Sen. Manchin responded to his meeting with the Education Association.
"I had a very productive conversation with our educators and other concerned groups about how we best protect our shared priorities — like our children, our seniors and our veterans — and I assured them that I will work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to make sure we don't hurt our schools. I want to see the fiscal cliff and sequestration prevented as much as anyone, and the best way to do that is with a big fix."
In a recent column, Rockefeller laid out his thoughts on addressing the fiscal cliff.
"We got into this situation because of the deep disagreement about whether it makes good sense to reduce our deficit by asking the very wealthy to pay a little more or by putting the full burden onto middle class and struggling families and small businesses," he said. "I have long championed the idea that those at the very top should be asked to do at least their fair share."
He said he has been encouraged to hear that both Democrats and Republicans agree that a compromise is possible and, "in the coming weeks I believe we will resolve big questions about fiscal policies that have serious implications here in West Virginia and nationally."

Boiron Coldcalm Cold -- 60 Tablets
First Line of defense against Cold
Coldcalm is the first line of defense against cold in our household. We have found that when we follow the dosage instructions precisely, we are able to get rid of our cold symptoms in hours. It is very important to start taking Coldcalm as soon as the symptoms begin. The longer one delays taking Coldcalm, longer it takes to relieve the symptoms. We have prevented full-fledged attacks of cold 95% of times with the help of Coldcalm.
August 7, 2013
One Of My Favorite Products
I have been taking Coldcalm for several years. Whenever I feel like I may be getting a cold I pop two under my tongue. I carry them in my handbag when I am on the run.
July 21, 2013
A product that actually works
I have been using these for three years now. Everyone in the family takes them. When I feel a sore throat or runny nose coming on, these are some of the first things I head for, along with a mushroom complex and source naturals wellness formula (have in chewables for kids). If i have a sore throat, within minutes of taking these it is gone. But if i don't keep up with them, I will go back downhill so take as directed, every fifteen minutes for the first two hours and then decide if you need to continue. Usually only one person in the house gets sick, then we all take this and escape having it. For that one person, I feel that these cut the time by half. I recently read some bad press on these that was super unfortunate as I have five guinea pigs in my home that can't live without this stuff. If you are an oscillicocinum person, you'll quit that and move over to this. That stuff didn't work a smidgen for us.
May 8, 2013
Best Cold Remedy
These little homeopathic pellets work great in fighting a cold. Take at the onset of symptoms and chances are a full blown cold will never develop. Take them after your cold sets in and Coldcalm will shorten the duration and ease the sneezing and stuffy nose. My colds don't last more than one day after taking these as directed.
May 3, 2013
greatly reduces colds
At the first sign of a cold--take Coldcalm. I did this twice this winter and they never turned into a full blown cold this winter season. I always keep them in my house.
April 24, 2013

I created a book using the Book Panel in Indesign CS5.5 for Mac.
I need to spell check the entire book.
I was hoping the flyout menu of the the book panel would have spell check.
Any ideas?
You can create the new "Preflight profile" in which you can include the "Dynamic spell check the error" , and under flyout menu of Book , you can choose "Preflight Book' and select the profile you have defined.
Create a new Preflight profile :-
a) Go to Windows-->Output-->Preflight ,
b) Go to flyout menu of the prefilght menu and then choose "Define Profile"
c) Click on "+" sign to craete the new profile and then on right side choose "Text"-->"Dynamic spell check the error"
and then use this profile to do spell check in the Preflight book.
The reason being , book is the collection of the documents hence at the end you have to work on the document weather it is included in the book or not , so spell check ca be done right away when the document s complete ...There would be no need to spell check the book if the document are properly made.

Jason Collins was born on December 2, 1978, in Northridge, California. After playing basketball with his twin brother, Jarron, in high school and at Stanford University, Collins developed into a capable NBA defender for multiple teams. On April 29, 2013, he became the first active male athlete in the four major North American professional sports to publicly admit his homosexuality.
"I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm different.' If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand."
Early Years and Education
Jason Paul Collins was born on December 2, 1978, in Northridge, California, minutes ahead of his twin brother, Jarron. They both played basketball for Harvard-Westlake High School in North Hollywood, California, where future television and movie star Jason Segel served as their back-up, and won a pair of California State championships together. As a senior in 1997, Jason Collins was named to the McDonald's High School Basketball All-American Team.
The twins enrolled at Stanford University, providing basketball coach Mike Montgomery with a pair of imposing big men. Limited to eight games over his first two seasons because of injuries, Jason Collins went on to average 14.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in his senior year, as well as earn selection to the honorable mention All-American Team. He graduated with a degree in communications and was taken with the 18th pick in the 2001 NBA draft by the New Jersey Nets.
NBA Career
Jason Collins never became a star in the NBA, but at a rock-solid 7'0" and 255 pounds he could capably defend the league's best big men and logged regular minutes for the Nets teams that reached the NBA finals in 2002 and '03. He enjoyed his best season in 2004-05, when he averaged 6.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game but was also charged with a league-high 322 personal fouls.
Collins was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in early 2008, then spent the following season with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He found a home with the Atlanta Hawks for the next three seasons, providing his usual tough defense off the bench to help them reach the playoffs each time. He played sparingly during the 2012-13 season for the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards, averaging just 1.1 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, before becoming a free agent.
Out of the Closet
On April 29, 2013, the internet lit up with the revelation that Collins was gay, making him the first openly gay active male athlete in the four major North American sports. In an article released with the May 6 issue of Sports Illustrated, Collins made his official announcement and explained his reasoning for coming out when he did: Having grown tired of guarding his secret for years, he was frustrated when he could not join former roommate, Massachusetts Congressman Joseph Kennedy III, and participate in Boston's 2012 Gay Pride Parade. Furthermore, he said, the recent bombings at the Boston Marathon made him realize the impermanence of everyday life and the importance of living truthfully.
In the wake of the announcement, NBA stars such as Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash tweeted their support. White House spokesman Jay Carney lauded Collins's statement as a courageous act, while former U.S. President Bill Clinton, whose daughter, Chelsea, attended Stanford with Collins, wrote that the basketball star's words were "the straightforward statement of a good man who wants no more than what so many of us seek: to be able to be who we are; to do our work; to build families and to contribute to our communities."

A nanostructure is an object of intermediate size between microscopic and molecular structures.
In describing nanostructures it is necessary to differentiate between the number of dimensions on the nanoscale. Nanotextured surfaces have one dimension on the nanoscale, i.e., only the thickness of the surface of an object is between 0.1 and 100 nm. Nanotubes have two dimensions on the nanoscale, i.e., the diameter of the tube is between 0.1 and 100 nm; its length could be much greater. Finally, spherical nanoparticles have three dimensions on the nanoscale, i.e., the particle is between 0.1 and 100 nm in each spatial dimension. The terms nanoparticles and ultrafine particles (UFP) often are used synonymously although UFP can reach into the micrometre range. The term 'nanostructure' is often used when referring to magnetic technology.
