Arsenal considering shock return for Cesc Fabregas as club eye 'two or three signings'
Published: 23 May 2014
Updated: 11:57, 23 May 2014
Arsenal could make a shock move for former captain Cesc Fabregas.
The Gunners sold the Spaniard to Barcelona for £35million in 2011 but are considering bringing him back to north London with the midfielder's future uncertain following the appointment of new manager Luis Enrique at the Nou Camp.
Arsenal have the first option to sign the 27 year-old due to a buy-back clause inserted in his contact when he was sold to the Catalans.
It comes after Arsenal director Lord Harris insisted that the club would be willing to spend extensively this summer to back Arsene Wenger.
Lord Harris told Standard Sport: "If we buy two or three players then I think we can. We want to win. We don't want to be second, we don't want to be third and we don't want to be fourth. We will support Arsene with the players he wants to buy. He has always been encouraged to spend."
Manchester United and Manchester City are also interested in Fabregas if he decides to return to England.

Glitterdick's lost singer has been found.
Yesterday, Glitterdick drummer Suzi alerted music fans on the web that the band had neither seen nor heard from singer Kendoll Killjoy (a.k.a. Kendal Fortson) for over a month following the Albuquerque-based band's return from their West Coast tour. We're pleased to report that Suzi has just received contact from Kendoll, and he is fine. He just wasn't checking his email. Suzi writes:
CALL OFF THE SEARCH. I just got an email from Kendal. He is apparently "bummin around on the road," and finally checked his email. Thank you to everyone who put the word out, and we are all truly sorry for the unnecessary panic. Please pass the message on.

I'm using a student license, i'm on Windows 7 Professional 64- bit.
Whenever i try to install 3ds Max, I get this error halfway through the installation, when it is at 3ds Max:
"There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
The installation finishes, but it says 3ds Max failed, aswell as the other programs. A few do get installed, such as the SDK and the Essential skills video's. Also, there are files in the 3ds Max output folder but when i try to run the 3dsmax.exe, i get the 0x0000007 error, which leads me to think that the installation was indeed not completed.
I then use Microsoft Fix It to remove 3ds Max, but whenever i try again i get the same error.
Any help would be appreciated. The logs are attached.
Jelmar Gerritsen
Odd thing I noticed is that your install files seem to be located on your C:\ drive under \Program Files. And you are installing to D:\.
I see.
You know, I am required to state the obvious here:
1. Make sure you user has local admin rights.
2. Make sure UAC is off.
3. Make sure anti-virus is disabled.
Also check your %TEMP% folder for the other Max installation log. Should be larger and have a bunch of info in it.
The .zip file is still too big, so i uploaded it to Google Drive. Link here.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Cory Who
by Paul on 03/29/06 at 10:18 AM ET
Comments (0)
Cory Stillman says he can walk into any mall or restaurant in the Triangle and go unrecognized. Not that he really minds. It's just that Stillman looks like so many other 30-somethings. With his closely cropped hair and average build, he could be mistaken for the guy who serves up the beer at the Carolina Ale House rather than the one who serves up another assist to Eric Staal for the Carolina Hurricanes. Stillman's teammates say the veteran forward plays an understated game, one that mirrors his demeanor: hardly loud and flashy, but more solid, consistent and productive.continued

'Tis the Season cocktail
This festive cocktail can be pre-made for easy serving when your guests arrive.
Your Thanksgiving
from start to finish
Who wants to be tied to the bar during their party? Making a pre-mix for your signature cocktail saves precious time so all you have to do is shake it with ice, strain into a martini glass, garnish — and enjoy the festivities! Mixture can be made up to three days in advance and kept refrigerated.
Makes 8 servings
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
1 ½ cups vodka
1 cup white cranberry juice
¾ cup fresh squeezed pink grapefruit juice
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1. Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a quick simmer and remove from heat. (Do not reduce.) Cool to room temperature.
2. Combine cooled sugar mixture and remaining ingredients in a pretty glass bottle. Refrigerate for up to three days in advance, until ready to use.
3. Measure ½ cup of the pre-mix into a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Cap and shake vigorously. Strain into a large martini glass. Garnish with rosemary and float a frozen cranberry in drink.

It is for that reason that we have put "love" at the very center of our year end campaign: Love Starts Here. For far too many children around the world, unconditional love is a gift they have not yet experienced. For those who live in orphanages or who were abandoned with often critical medical needs – having someone who truly believes their lives matter can change everything.
Almost every day I am blessed to receive emails and letters from families who have adopted children helped by one of our many programs in China. Their photos bring tears to my eyes, as I sit and remember the baby who was found so extremely sick or the little girl who first entered our school and wouldn't speak or engage because her whole world had been turned upside down when she lost her parents.
I look at their photos and honestly still feel awe, even after a decade of doing this work, because I know that none of it happens without an entire community of people coming together to help one child at a time find healing. To be able to watch a child go from being completely alone and scared to absolutely adored and filled with joy is something that I can't even put into words.
I know that from now until the end of the year, all of us will be asked again and again to donate to causes doing really important work. Today I am asking you to please consider making a gift to LWB, to help children who have become orphaned. They need our help so much, and every day we are asked by orphanages to help their children who are struggling. I promise you, with all my heart, that if you make a donation to LWB this holiday season – the lives of truly special babies and children will be changed, in very real and tangible ways.
I promise that with your help, babies like Alan, who was found so tiny and sick, will be moved to our healing homes to receive lots of TLC and essential nutrition.
I promise you that babies like Arlene, who was born with a heart defect, will be tenderly cared for until they can be chosen for adoption.
I promise you that little girls like Avalyn, born with cleft lip, will receive the surgeries they need and the chance to live in loving foster care.
I promise you that amazing little kids like Felix born with Down Syndrome will get to experience the absolute joy and wonder of learning in one of our orphanage schools.
For many years I have told our volunteers that in everything we do, we must write a story of true hope for every child who comes into our hands. I believe so strongly that covering them with love, both in person and afar, really does impact the world. And that isn't just a cliché to me, because I see just how many lives are changed, both in China and around the globe, when a child who is orphaned finds healing, love, and a permanent home. It's absolutely beautiful.
Today, let's all pledge that we will make a real difference this holiday season.
Let's reach out to children who are often alone, while counting our own blessings for the family we hold dear.
Let's make the awesome commitment that we will try our very best to love with all our hearts.
As the song in the video below says – let's make a promise that for children who are hurting…..Love Starts Here. Please make a gift and join with us to change lives.
With a grateful heart,
~Amy Eldridge, Chief Executive Officer]]>
Parents often worry that older children will experience attachment issues that will make it difficult for them to bond with their new family. I worried about this.
Parents also struggle with the knowledge that life in an orphanage sometimes creates a set of institutional behaviors that make it difficult to parent a particular child. I worried about this as well.
I spent lots of time reading about older child adoption. I talked to parents who had done it. I researched attachment and post-institutional issues. I felt like I was prepared and educated. I expected that adopting an older child would be difficult. I went into it with eyes wide open, knowing that it would likely be a challenge for both me and Abby, and then…
…I was pleasantly surprised!
On September 3, 2013, I found myself waiting in the Civil Affairs office in Taiyuan, China. All at once, I heard our guide excitedly announcing that Abby….my daughter!….was coming down the hallway. I remember trying so hard not to cry as she walked into the room. She was so brave. As she walked through that door, she was literally leaving everything she knew behind. She tells me now that she was scared, but she certainly did not show it. I have thought many times over the last year that she walked into that room and handed me her heart….completely, without reservation, in total faith that what lay ahead was better than what was behind. She seemed to know…she seemed to understand that she needed and wanted a family.
In the last year, I have watched her grow. Certainly, she has grown taller and heavier, but she has also grown in confidence and maturity. Gone is the girl that did not know what to do with her arms and legs when I picked her up…she is now the best snuggler in our house. Gone is the girl who did not understand a word of English…she was completely fluent in just two months! Gone is the girl who cried because she was old enough to understand that maybe, no one would ever come for her….she now has so many people who love her and a family that adores her!
By the time Abby was adopted, she had spent eight years inside the walls of an orphanage. Certainly, she could have arrived with attachment issues…she did not. Certainly, she could have exhibited a host of post-institutional behaviors…I have seen none. What I do see is a child who so very badly needed and wanted a family. In the last year, Abby has thrived. She has adjusted to life in America and is learning to trust those who love her so very much.
Abby as a student at Believe in Me Changzhi
Many of the children placed for adoption from the Changzhi Social Welfare Institute are older. It is my understanding that this orphanage began their international adoption program in 2010, so there are many older children waiting for their chance to have a family. Thanks to the internet, Abby is in contact with many of her friends from Changzhi who have been adopted and now live in America. It is remarkable how well each of these children has adjusted. Each of these older children has been nothing for a blessing for their families!
There are currently two older children from Changzhi who are waiting and hoping to be adopted. These children need someone to love them, someone to fight for them, someone to claim them. I know firsthand that adopting an older child can be scary, but maybe you, too, will be surprised and blessed beyond your wildest imagination.
Please take a look at Tomas and Yago below….they are older and have been waiting a long time for a family of their own. Please consider if maybe, just maybe, they are waiting on you.
Read more about Tomas in "Tomas: Eight is Great!"
Read more about Yago in his latest blog, "Yago: Full of Determination". Yago also has a $4,000 Adoption Assistance Grant!
~Jennifer Strickland is the mom to Abby, previously a student in LWB's Believe in Me school in Changzhi where she was known as "Victoria".
Yago is ten years old and has been waiting for so long for a forever family of his own. As the years go by and Yago becomes closer to age 14 — the age at which children are no longer eligible for adoption in China — we remain hopeful that a family will see what we see in Yago: a serious, artistic, somewhat shy boy who wants to live as normal a life as he can, surrounded by a loving and caring support system.
When we looked at the recent photos of Yago, a boy in our foster care program who is unable to attend school, we were struck by the serious, somewhat uncertain expressions on his face. At ten years old, he is still a child. However, his eyes seem to show a much deeper understanding of some of the difficult realities of life.
Yago was in our education program since 2011 and has been in our foster care program since 2013. He has lymphedema which affects his right leg and requires specialized care which cannot be provided in his orphanage. The difficult decision was made to take him out of school and put him into foster care with a family trained to care for his medical condition.
Becauuse Yago was in our Education program for three full years, we know that he is a good and conscientious student, full of determination and a strong will to succeed. In our blog, "Yahoo! $4,000 for Yago" we wrote about how as one of the older boys in the classroom, he acted as a big brother to them and was looked up to as a class leader. So we think that being taken out of the school environment where he was doing so well must be quite difficult for him.
Yago helping Victor Alejandro when he was still in school
Victor Alejandro, one of Yago's younger classmates was adopted last year. When he recently saw photos of Yago, he said, " Mom! That's my friend! He was like my big brother and helped me in school. I miss him. " Yago must have made a great impression on this boy!
Yago is a very good drawer, and we have seen some amazingly detailed artwork that he's done.
He has lots of time to draw since he isn't going to school, and it looks like he's thought through many details of the life going on outside of his foster family — a life that he isn't able to participate in at this time.
Some of the photos we've received show Yago with a friend, riding bikes and playing basketball.
During the days, that friend probably goes off to school, leaving Yago to stay home with his foster parents and work on his own.
We want nothing more than to see Yago have the opportunity to attend school and most importantly, be a part of a family who will love and care for him always!
LWB is offering an Adoption Assistance Grant of $4,000 which might help Yago to have a family of his own, a opportunity for a healthy life, and a chance at going back to his studies and excelling. Please email us if you'd like more information about Yago's medical condition or his adoption file.

Henry is a handsome two-year-old boy who has been a part of our Loudi foster care program for a little over a year. Although his needs are complex, Henry has the most beautiful smile and is so full of joy!
Nothing makes Henry smile bigger then when visitors come over to his foster home! He especially loves when our foster care manager comes and pats his head and talks to him. Neighborhood children often come over to play and Henry smiles with delight while watching them from his spot on the couch.
Henry also LOVES to be hugged! Over the summer, it was very hot in his apartment as it is on the eighth floor. Henry's foster sister said Henry kept wanting hugs from her but eventually she needed a break because it was too hot!
Henry has high muscular tension, making it difficult for him to sit up on his own, walk or crawl. He receives lots of attention throughout the day from his foster mother and older foster sister. Henry knows his name and will respond with a smile when it is called out. Although he does not speak many words, he does have many conversations with his foster family by babbling.
Henry is delayed in his development and was born with a Ventricular Septal Defect, external hydrocephalus, mild anemia, and hypothyroidism. He will need a family that has time to tend to his medical needs. Although Henry cannot speak and tell us this, we think he would also want a family that has lots of time to give him hugs!

Since I returned from my recent trip to China at the end of October, my thoughts have been with the newly abandoned babies in the hospitals. As I walked through the huge wards of critically ill children, rooms overflowing with dozens of children in every possible space, I realized just how strong orphaned babies with medical needs must be.
When possible, we have a caregiver stay with a hospitalized baby 24 hours a day. Although this is a very difficult job for the caregiver, it's so necessary for the baby as many Chinese hospitals depend on family members for a child's daily care, like diapering and feeding, not to mention doing the patient's laundry, hanging it to dry in the hospital stairwell or outside the window, and acquiring diapers and food from the store. There are no breaks for a caregiver with a sick baby except when that baby is so ill he or she is transferred into Intensive Care.
When a baby is in Intensive Care, a caregiver is not permitted to stay with them as there simply is no room. The baby is alone in a radiant warmer (open bed with heater and monitors), an incubator, or an open bed.
When we send abandoned babies to the hospital for treatment, we know that they will often be in Intensive Care until they are strong enough to move into the general ward where a nanny can then stay to care for them.
Our LWB nannies know how to "lay the love" on these babies. It breaks my heart when a baby like Little Joe remains alone for an extended amount of time. Joe, who born with his intestines outside of his body, was abandoned and not found until his intestines had begun to dry up as an result of exposure.
Little Joe is a strong soul. He has held on through abandonment and exposure to the elements, endured several surgeries, and struggled to get his digestive system to work. He has made steps forward and backwards in his valiant efforts to eat.
Last month, I walked into the Intensive Newborn Nursery in Hefei and viewed nursing stations surrounded by dozens of critically ill babies in incubators and open beds, many on ventilators and hooked up to multiple monitors and IVs. I knew this was a very busy place with little time for snuggles or an extra moment to be spent with an abandoned baby.
I had to walk the entire floor, past 60-80 critically ill babies, before I finally saw Little Joe. He was in the very last bed on the floor, the farthest from the nursing station. Past the children on ventilators and open beds, past the open beds with healing babies — there he was in the back corner, next to a sunny window, all alone in his incubator.
"Little Joe" sprang to life when he made immediate eye contact with me. He was no longer just a picture in an email or on Facebook. He was REAL. Tiny body, swollen belly, dry lips but also an intense gaze. I had the feeling he was asking me, "What took you so long?"
Little Joe
I asked to hold him, but they requested that I leave him in the incubator. So I lifted him and held him inside the incubator, giving him a gentle rock and telling him about all the people who were rooting him on from around the world. Too soon, I had to set him back down and move on, but I silently promised him that there were loving nannies just waiting to hold him, kiss his sweet cheeks, and tell him that he was a beautiful boy. He just needed to keep his food down and try to eat more.
Perhaps some part of Little Joe was encouraged! This week's report included the news that Little Joe has gone from eating just 2 ml every 2 hours to 40 ml (just over an ounce) every 2 hours. He is heading in the right direction, and I hope that he can feel the energy of everyone cheering him on. He really needs people to join his team of sponsors as well!
Little Joe is not the only baby in the hospital right now. Baby Tony will soon be on his way to Shanghai for open heart surgery. Since he was abandoned in August, Tony has struggled with pneumonia and respiratory infections. His orphanage asked if we could take him into a Healing Home in October, and recently it was discovered that he has a congenital heart deformation called severe coarctation of the aorta, a condition that is most likely contributing to his lung problems.
Tony has been fortunate to have a caregiver stay with him in the general ward of the hospital. Now he is headed for surgery and a stay in the PICU, where, like Little Joe, he too will be alone. My thoughts and prayers will be with him and a candle lit until he is safely back in his nanny's arms.
Brent has just returned to the Heartbridge Healing Home from Shanghai, where he was diagnosed with laryngomalacia and received his second stage surgery for anal atresia. For months now, Brent has struggled to get enough nutrition and oxygen, and we hope that improving his nutrition and digestion will help build his strength so that he can avoid more hospital stays.
Like all babies, Brent needs a loving touch to grow and thrive. I am thankful for each and every one of the caregivers in our Heartbridge and Anhui Healing Homes. They provide the best loving arms along with skilled caregiving these children need and crave.
Please help us continue to provide caregivers for the hospitals and loving arms for these children to recover in by donating to our General Medical Fund. Donations for Little Joe, Tony, and Brent are essential as we cannot help them without your support. Their lives absolutely depend on it.

Baby Cindy recently had her cleft lip repaired and has recovered nicely. Although she is not yet eating solid foods, she does have a very healthy appetite and drinks about six bottles a day!
Cindy has a wonderful foster mother who responds to her needs. Often, Cindy gives her big smiles and will babble to talk to her. She loves the attention so much that if her foster mother puts her down, Cindy will start to cry!
Cindy is a strong baby who has already demonstrated her upper body strength. She can raise her head and chest when lying down and can support herself with her arms. We have no doubt she will be off crawling in no time!
Cindy will need sponsors while she is in foster care. Sponsors will receive a monthly report and pictures sharing Cindy's progress. Please join us in watching this adorable girl grow!
I read her letter carefully, because as an adoptive mom myself, I always want to listen and learn from those who have shared a similar type of journey as my children. I don't think a single day goes by that I don't look at my kids from China and realize what they had to lose in order to end up halfway around the world. Of course I wish they had never gone through the trauma of being orphaned. However, I am also incredibly humbled that somehow, out of all the people on earth, I am allowed to be the one they now call "mom". It seriously astounds me that I get the privilege of parenting them.
I wrote the adult adoptee back, agreeing with her that adoption is absolutely complex. It can be emotional and messy and miraculous and heartbreaking, and it would take vast, infinite libraries to even scratch the surface of each individual child and family's experiences, because we all come to adoption uniquely.
I will be the first to admit that I had NO IDEA of the complexities of adoption when I first wished I could bring home a little girl sixteen years ago. I wanted a baby. It really was that simple, and it was actually a media image that first opened my heart to the children who were living in Chinese orphanages. I knew next to nothing about abandonment or institutional care or post-adoption challenges, but a photo of a little girl sitting in a bamboo chair touched me to my core. One year later I found myself standing in southern China being handed a developmentally delayed baby and realizing I had a lot of learning to do.
I think that is one of the reasons why I love the images we share every November during National Adoption Month: I am always hopeful that another family will have their hearts opened to the possibility of adoption like I did. Again and again as I have done this work, I hear from people who say that it was a blog post, or a video clip, or a photo we posted that was the final little bit of encouragement they needed to start educating themselves about whether adoption was the right way to grow their family. And while perhaps some of the things we post can seem "fluffy" or superficial, the sad reality is that the children whose photos we share have almost always had incredibly difficult beginnings. Most have special needs, and because of that fact, most will not find permanent families in their birth country. Their stories are complex and layered, but it is often their beautiful faces which first reach out to someone's heart.
Social media itself is quite complicated, isn't it? Most of us only post "the good stuff" – vacations and kitchen remodels and smiling photos of our families that make us look like we stepped right out of a Norman Rockwell poster. But of course we know that everyone's lives are a little more complicated than that.
Right now as one of my screensavers, I have a wonderful photo of baby Patrick, who is very special to me since he was brought to the orphanage on a day that I happened to be there. I look at the joy radiating from his eyes, which is what the world sees when I post his photo online, but I know that behind that photo is a little boy who was left on the day of his birth, who was rushed to the hospital to undergo emergency surgery, who was then diagnosed with a serious heart defect which required his chest to be opened, and who happens to be from an orphanage which only files adoption paperwork on a few kids each year, so he probably has a long wait ahead of him until he finds a home.
So while the image of Patrick I look at each day is indeed joyous, I know the story behind it is heavy — just like many of the pictures we post during this special adoption month. The quotes and photos we hope you share might be simple, but we also understand that for any child to become orphaned, he or she has experienced unthinkable trauma and loss.
I believe that as adoptive parents, we must continually listen to the viewpoints of adoptees because their voices are filled with wisdom and weight. As my children age and go through different stages in their lives, their feelings about adoption continually deepen, which cause my thoughts to evolve as well. I am not the same person I was when I was standing in a hotel lobby in China after being handed my infant daughter. I never want to stop learning and listening and understanding this often emotional process because I want to be the very best parent I can be to my kids. I want to thank the young woman who wrote me such an honest and thoughtful letter, because she allowed me to sit back again tonight and reflect on our journey as well.
Absolutely yes — adoption is not as simple as a saying on a greeting card:
But I also believe that adoption can be one of the most incredible and life changing events we can ever experience. And as long as there are children growing up in institutions, I hope we all will keep working to spread the news far and wide that every child born deserves a family.

When we first met Zara she told us of her family. She lives with her aging grandmother, who suffers from constant bronchitis, and her father, who has a bad back that keeps him from working. Sadly, her mother left home when Zara was just two years old. Zara told us of the chores she did at home to help her grandmother: cooking, cleaning, gardening, and helping in any way that she could. She also had her studies to keep her more than busy.
One of the best things that happened to Zara and her family was at the beginning of this year, when her community came together to build her family a new home. Their previous home was damaged and unsafe, and Zara worried a great deal about her father and grandmother being hurt in their home. Her neighbors worked together to build them a safer roof and walls.
In the spring of last school year, Zara shared her grades with us. While they were not bad at all, she felt like she could do much better, and she promised to work even harder so that she could attain first place in her class. Zara was proud to write to her sponsors this fall sharing the exciting news with them that she has done just that! She is now proud to say that she hold the first position in her 12th grade class, and she is focused and determined to maintain it all year long while she is preparing to attend college.
We are so very proud of Zara and are grateful to her sponsors for helping this strong young woman realize her goals.
Currently, six older children like Zara need education sponsors! Sponsorships range from $20-$25 a month, and children in need can be seen here on our website. Thank you for considering helping a child whose life situation prevents him or her from receiving an education!]]>
Currently, 75% of the children waiting to be adopted from China are boys, a fact which surprises many people just learning about orphaned children in China. However, today we want to showcase our waiting girls, ranging in age from 12 to 8 years of age. Please take a look at these eight beautiful faces and click on the link to read more about them!
Elaine, 12 years old
Megan, 10 years old
Ruth, 9 years old (blog coming soon)
Grace, 9 years old
Daisy, 9 years old
Elin, 8 years old
Niamh, 8 years old
Amber, 8 years old
During this National Adoption Month, we hope that people will take a moment to spread the word about these gorgeous girls and their need for families who love and care for them forever!
If you would like more information about adoption or about any of these girls, we encourage you to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Joel and Julie
First things first: nothing was going to happen until we snuggled some babies, so we headed to Heartbridge Healing Home on the morning of October 25th.
Abigail meets Jan
Little ones were held and cuddled, and six grown women were reduced to mushy little puddles.
Joel and his nannies look at a photo album sent by his waiting family!
Personal highlights for me included laptime with Joel (looking at a photo album of his future family), and simply watching how loving the nannies were with each of their little charges. These babies are truly adored.
Alan and his loving nanny
Next we walked down the street (about three blocks or so) to Anhui Healing Home (AHH). We were all thrilled to see how terrific the two preemies, Vivienne and Cohen, were doing.
Vivienne shows off perfect preemie sleeping position
Both are now at the age when they should have been born, and looked like typical, beautiful newborns.
Baby Arlene meets Arlene. They had a nice long chat!
Arlene was very happy to meet Baby Arlene, who is such a gorgeous and happy little girl. It is likely that her ASD heart defect will close on its own, so we are just keeping her warm and healthy until she is a bit older.
Maureen receives a mild scolding from Leo
Maureen and her trusty stethoscope gave all the babies a medical assessment. Patrick was found to have a fairly loud murmur, which is just fine after the type of heart surgery he received. He looked quite good! Leo's heart also sounded great, post-surgery. While Brent's lungs were clear after pneumonia, he was still working too hard at his breathing. We were able to secure a bed in Shanghai where he is now recovering from surgery.
Full-on screaming from Dominic!
Dominic's heart sounded quite good, but he was not happy to see any of us. Especially Maureen!
The next day we were able to visit an orphanage that we have worked with for years. Fuyang is about a three-hour drive from the healing homes, and we currently have five Healing Home residents from that location. We were warmly received by the orphanage director and had a tour of their facility.
Arlene identified two beautiful toddlers (shown above) to be moved into our foster care program, and we are hopeful that they can both be chosen for adoption soon.
After lunch we were able to visit a group of families from our Fuyang foster care program.
This particular group lives in a small, rural village setting, and families brought the children out to a central location where Arlene did assessments and handed out gifts and warm coats.
Arlene is seen as the British female equivalent to Santa Claus, so all of the older tykes were happy to see her.
As you can see, the village is not extravagant in any way, but it is a very peaceful place. It was such a delight to see this program first-hand, knowing that many of our healing home residents will be discharged to these very families. The foster moms were so loving, and the children were clean and well-dressed. They played together, compared new toys and coats…they were wonderfully typical little children, free of any institutional behaviors. I was very impressed.
Above is Patrick with one of our favorite long-time nannies. This is the essence of LWB: the children are Loved, without Boundaries, and without reservation. They are bright-eyed and beautiful; and each one is seen as a gift — deserving of healing, continued good health, and the chance to belong to a family of their very own.
We thank you for making this a very real possibility for Healing Homes residents Abigail, Alan, Arlene, Brent, Catey, Christi, Cohen, Dominic, Evelyn, Jane, Joel, Leo, Linda, Little Joe, Patrick, Tate, Tony, and Vivienne, and ALL the children in foster care. Our work would not be possible without your support, and we are truly grateful.
~Jan Champoux, Healing Homes Associate Director and Heartbridge Coordinator]]>

Pennsylvania court to hear gay marriage arguments on Sept. 4
A Pennsylvania court will hear arguments next month on the governor's attempt to stop a county official from issuing same-sex marriage licenses.
Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's administration said Montgomery County officials are violating the state's one-man, one-woman marriage law.
Democratic officials, however, said they believe the state marriage law is unconstitutional.
Commonwealth Court will hear arguments on Sept. 4 in Harrisburg.
Meanwhile, a few mayors around the state are stepping into the fray.
In western Pennsylvania, Braddock Mayor John Fetterman said he has performed several same-sex marriages at his home.
And State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham has hosted a same-sex wedding, but she said she had a minister perform the ceremony so she would not violate her oath of office.

logo crispnesshey all
i made a logo in illy. client likes it. problem is i am trying to resize it and still make it look good for the web. i have sized it the size i like in illy. saved as psd. If i save it at 150 dpi i get great quality, but the image is 2 times too big. if i save it at 72 i get crappy quality and right size. i have tried taking the good quality, flattening it in psd and resizing...but maybe the font used in the art works gets really anti aliased. looks bit blurry. how can i get the crispness found in illy in a size and format for the web. i have attached an example of what happens during my resize process. would really appreciate some help!

Welcome to the 'new' standard of logo design: the monitor screen.
Ever wonder why you hardly see open style fonts used anymore in new logo designs? Lowest Common Denominator. This is the new design reality.
I'm afraid your best choice is start again with a different font. Or, convince your client it looks great twice as big and is worth the effort to work the pages around that.
Good luck.
Try doing a save for web out of illustrator to 100% quality jpeg, also check how it looks as a gif or a png. I have noticed sometimes that I need to put my work on a whole pixel (using the transform pallette) to get illustrator to give good save for web results. Otherwise my lovely clean 1px line becomes a blurry 2px line.Think of me as programmable soda.

I'm not sure why it's not working, then, but when I try to duplicate your steps as you've described it, this is what I get:
I realize I didn't match your typeface exactly, I just grabbed an openface style to see if that was the problem."Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!" - Ricky Ricardo
I was trying to duplicate your process, so I set the type in Illustrator, exported it as a .PSD file at 150 DPI, RGB, opened that in Photoshop, and changed the resolution to 72, with Bicubic Sharper as the resolution. Then I did a save for web. I used GIF in my example, but basically got the same result out of JPEG, except that the background isn't transparent like it is in the GIF."Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!" - Ricky Ricardo
No problem. Although frankly, I don't think your issue is with the interpolation method. It seems like something else might be going on. Your sample image looks like it's been upsampled. So something else is going on.
You're not by any chance upsizing the logo once it's in Photoshop are you? I wouldn't think so, since you've said it's too big when you bring it into Photoshop, but I just thought I'd ask.
If you like, PM me and send me the files (including the fonts) and I can give it a look see. I'm on a Mac, however, so if the fonts are PC only, I might not be able to help you."Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!" - Ricky Ricardo
Is your image that you are resizing indexed colour or RGB or CMYK or what? This could be a colour space issue was my thought. Indexed graphics store less colour than RGB. If you're resizing indexed colour images, convert them into RGB, resize and convert back to indexed colour. If you're trying to resize an rgb image though, just ignore me as this isn't your problem.
at best my spelling *and grammar* is crap and at worst it are be carp
Coming back to this, sorry. By putting it on the whole pixels I mean set your measurements to pixels and go to the transform box and make sure your graphic isn't sitting at 350.156 or something, make sure it's 350. Or whatever nearest whole pixel.
Also, there is no reason to leave Illy to create web graphics. Here is how I do it:
Copy your finished piece to a new illy file. Draw a box the final size you want the graphic to be. Resize and nudge the graphic around until it sits in the box the way you want it to sit in the final web output image. (This is where you want to set to whole pixels after you are done nudging it around.) Select the box and go to the Object menu and choose "Crop Area" then "Make". Then go to the File menu and choose "Save for Web and Devices". You should be able to output a more than decent web image.Last edited by jessicam; 06-05-2007, 05:48 AM.Think of me as programmable soda.

Dance Amore's chief instructor Deborah Loomis has been performing for more than 20 years, boasting a resumè that includes acting, dancing, and singing with the Massachusetts Allstate Choir and taking to the stage as a female lead in Bye Bye Birdie. At Dance Amore, she puts this experience to use helping children and adults alike tap into their melodious side through an eclectic curriculum. Her dance classes cover tap, ballet, jazz, and hip-hop for different age groups atop Harlequin floors. She also translates choreography into calorie-busting workouts with Zumba programs. At sessions for toddlers, she encourages freeform movement and the development of motor skills, outlining dance's foremost basics, such as refraining from repeatedly hitting the speakers to find the music inside. Deborah guides pupils in the process of making their own music, as well. She oversees beginner's flute, piano, and voice lessons that set the stage for future practice. Parents and loved ones keep abreast of their children's progress by attending yearly recitals, where each student showcases their burgeoning talent.

First, Laguerra helps clients identify the innate hopes hidden beneath the rubble of everyday life. Then she develops a plan for clients so that they can make meaningful choices and commit to consistent actions that will aid them on their journey.

Obama losing fans in Muslim world

WASHINGTON – Approval of US President Barack Obama in the Muslim world is
increasingly falling, according to a Pew survey released Wednesday that largely
blamed his foreign policies for the decline."There remains a widespread
perception that the US acts unilaterally and does not consider the interests of
other countries," the Pew Research Center summarizes. "In predominantly Muslim
nations, American anti-terrorism efforts are still widely unpopular."The
survey singles out drone strikes targeting extremist leaders as being
particularly disliked, even in European countries that give higher approval
ratings to Obama. Disappointment is also evident in his handling of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to the 21- country survey of more than
26,000 people conducted between March 17 and April 20.In Muslim
countries polled – Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, Jordan, Turkey and Pakistan –
confidence in Obama has dropped from 33 percent in 2009 to 24% in 2012. Approval
of his international policies has fallen even more sharply, from 34% to 15%.
America's image overall has gone from 25% favorability to 15%. Obama does,
however, continue to enjoy higher ratings in Muslim countries than
then-president George W. Bush did in 2008 – as much as 22 points higher in some
cases and tied in only one, the 7% approval Pakistanis have given both
presidents.When it comes to Obama's anti-terrorism policies, Lebanon was
the Muslim country to give his efforts the highest grade, with 32% approving,
while most Muslim countries were significantly less supportive.On US
drone attacks, 12% of Tunisians approve of the measure, with all other Muslim
countries in the single digits. In contrast, 62% of Americans approve of
them.Though few Muslim countries in 2009 expected Obama to be "fair with
Israelis and Palestinians," as the question puts it – Egypt at 24% expressed the
most optimism – the numbers have dropped markedly since.Now only 11% of
Egyptians think Obama has been fair toward the two parties, the same proportion
as in Jordan.Nine percent of Turks, 5% of Pakistanis and just 3% of
Tunisians agree. Lebanese give him the highest marks, at 18%.Americans,
however, mostly think Obama has been fair toward both parties, though the number
has dropped over the course of his presidency.While 77% thought he would
be fair upon entering office, 60% still think he has been.Israel was not
among the countries surveyed.
