"Lovely, lovely, lovely!!!! I had a lot of text customization on this card, but it turned out beautifully. I entered both of my parents names and because we were getting married in a church, added in "Request the honor of your presence." Though the original design was not suited to all this text, the designers edited and it turned out perfectly. I just love this design!"
"The paper quality was great & the colors look exactly as online. I did not do any upgrades & was very happy with my final outcome. Simple, yet adds a pop of color!"

Anhanguera blittersdorffi, A. santanae, A. cuvieri, A. fittoni
Source: http://mattmart.deviantart.com/art/Anhanguera-blittersdorffi-253998302
Name: Anhanguera blittersdorffi, A. santanae, A. cuvieri, A. fittoni
Name Meaning: Old Devil
First Described: 1985
Described By: Campos & Kellner
Classification: Pterosauria, Caelidracones Pterodactyloidea, Eupterodactyloidea, Ornithocheiroidea, Pteranodontia, Pteranodontoidea, Ornithocheirae, Anhangueridae
This pterosaur was asked for a month ago by a lovely anon as it is from the Santana Formation of Brazil! It was also found in the Upper Chalk Formation and Cambridge Greensand Formation in the UK and lived in the Early to Late Cretaceous, from the Apatian to the Cenomanian ages, from about 112 to 94 million years ago. It had a 4.5 meter wingspan and is known from many specimens. It had rounded crests on the tip of its snout and lower jaw, like its famous close relative Ornithocheirus. Its jaws broadened out towards the tip and had sharp thin teeth pointing outwards in a rosette to allow it to catch fish over the water. It had a small crest on the back of its skull like its relative Pteranodon. As it was found in many far reaching places, it probably could have had a cosmopolitan distribution, and possibly flew great distances. Its inner ear structure indicates that it held its head at an angle to the ground, allowing it to sense its balance. A. cuvieri and A. fittoni were from the Albian age in England, and A. santanae and A. blittersdorfi are from Brazil and in the Aptain age. There are specimens from Australia that might be another species altogether.

Haruhi the Naga Haruhi the Naga
It had been a very trying semester for the SOS Brigade. The root of the problem was Haruhi, but the root of the problem was always Haruhi, so that was news to no-one. What was triggering Haruhi this time around was the elective course she was taking that semester: Disney Film Appreciation. In the hands of someone like her, the wonderful, imaginative world of Disney was more dangerous than if she had been handed weapons-grade plutonium. She had proven how dangerous it was after watching the very first movie, the Jungle Book, forcing Kyon to confront Shere Khan the tiger
Ninetales TF: Dawn into NinetalesDawn was feeling really weird. Her body ached all over, as she walked across Sandgem town. It all started when she made a trip to kanto with Ash and Brock. Dawn walked along a small, remote path when she spotted something shiny. "You all go ahead. I think I found something!" she said to them. She ran over and picked it up. It was a fire stone, a new, shiny fire stone. Instead of it being yellow and red, it was black and blue. She knew it was a rare find, so she stashed it away in her bag. That's when the pain started. It continued on the way back to Vermillion city, on the boat, on the way home, and now she was in Sandgem town. As she walked by a cave, she decided to stay for a while and relax. She sat down and waited for the aching to stop. Suddenly she screamed in pain as she arched over, her legs bending like rubber. There was snapping noises all across her body as she changed form. Dawn felt a tingling sensation as she sprouted yellow fur all over her body. Two ears painfully sprou

UK taxman catching up to Middle East buyers?
According to some, news reports on property tax evasion by Middle Eastern property owners have just been over exaggerated but Kipp still believes that if strictly implemented, taxes will be a strong deterrent for future and current owners.
September 9, 2012 10:08 by Muhammad Aldalou
If you drive a car I'll tax the street, if you try to sit I'll tax your seat, if you get too cold I'll tax the heat, if you take a walk I'll tax your feet. Taxman! – George Harrison.
People often refer to two very well known 'entities' to encapsulate the inevitable, Death and Taxes. And while medical science has improved so vastly that the average 'life expectancy' has soared beyond imagination over the past century, methods of evading taxes have also been created and frequently used.
In spite of the countless media reports and 'biased propaganda' suggesting that many Arab and Middle Eastern property owners are not paying taxes for their UK properties, Chris Myers, a partner at London-based law firm Forsters says that they don't have much to be concerned about.
There are four fundamental categories of property tax in the United Kingdom and those include income tax, stamp duty, inheritance tax and capital gains tax. However, Middle Eastern buyers illegally evading taxes really doesn't happen as often as people think, Myers said, quoted by Arabian Business.
"The press in the UK is fixated on people coming over to the UK to avoid taxes. It is a political football that has been kicked about by the press but in our experience there are very few people from the Middle East trying to avoid paying UK taxes," he added.
Many Middle Eastern buyers claim to be falsely lured by UK-based real estate agents who allegedly say, in order to entice them, that their tax-free status does indeed stretch to England. However, as any law firm or property realtor will tell you, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the Kingdom's governing tax body does dictate that property taxes, even on those owned by Middle Eastern residents, are payable.
Arab buyers, who make up a significant percentage of property investors in London, will be faced with 5 or 6 figures annually if they want to hold on to their assets, according to HMRC. The mixture of misleading information from greedy agents and the deep wealth of Arab nationals has proven to be a deadly combination as many Middle Eastern investors plunge into the deep end while unaware of their tax obligations.
Myers says that the back and forth between British and Middle Eastern media is nothing more than a political scare and despite the taxes, Arabs will not so easily be deterred from investing but Kipp isn't so sure. Despite being described as 'less fragile' and more 'resilient', one can't help but wonder how having to pay duty stamp, income tax, inheritance tax (in case of death) and mansion tax (depending on the value) will not prove to be a strong deterrent for Middle Eastern buyers.
Kipp reckons that if media reports on Middle Eastern tax evaders are nothing more than political scares then reports suggesting that Arab buyers won't be affected by stricter tax implementations are nothing more than politically forced optimism because Kipp if didn't know any better, we would say that if heavy taxes start burdening Arab investors then they will just flock elsewhere.

Mardi Gras ball 1st Superdome event since blackout
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The lights stayed on in the Superdome for a black tie ball and concert that was the first major test for the venue since the Super Bowl blackout.
The glitzy Mardi Gras Krewe of Endymion rolled its massive float through the dome and singer Kelly Clarkson performed amid the purple, green and gold lights.
Revelers at the ball said the power outage was in the back of their minds and they were glad the problem seems to have been fixed.
The stadium's electricity provider, Entergy, has come under scrutiny since the lights went dark for more than a half hour.

Today is the most liberating, terrifying, exciting, and confusing day of my life. I am walking out of a hotel room in New York City, and running west. Why west? Because that is the direction of my house in San Francisco. Yes, I am running home from the New York City Marathon, the final marathon of the Endurance 50, across the country back to my house. What is my plan? I really don't have one. There is no script here. It will be kind of like reality TV, only this is not TV. I'm not sure of the route I'll follow, I'm not sure where I'll stay, I'm not sure how long it will take. All I know is that my heart is telling me this is the right thing to do. My family is behind me, which is the most important thing. I talked with them at length to get their feelings about this next leg of the journey, and they were 100% supportive and encouraging. "It will be cool, dad," my daughter, Alexandria, said, "We'll come find you every weekend and run together." The Endurance 50 was more of a spiritual journey than a running event. None of us had ever anticipated this would be the case. People from around the globe united and came together in ways that were astonishing to us all. We saw the very best in human nature, we saw the human spirit come through in remarkable and touching ways. In a world that can be so divided, running showed us that it has the power to unify people. So let us run. Heading west, Dean

Canon âEasy Setup PTRZ Toolâ Software App Provides Convenience and Economy for Installers of Canon Fixed Megapixel IP Security Camera
The latest fixed megapixel IP security cameras from Canon, a leader in digital imaging solutions, also now include a feature known as the Easy Setup PTRZ Tool software application. This software application is specifically designed to free installers from having to adjust the cameraâs Pan, Tilt, Rotation, Zoom and Focus settings during installation. Instead, the Easy Setup PTRZ Tool enables installers to save time, labor and â ultimately â expense by using the Internet to remotely fine-tune a cameraâs image-capture area and focus settings, or to conveniently re-set them whenever it may be required. This feature can be especially handy during large installations of multiple IP security cameras.
âItâs a lot easier and less expensive to log-on to the camera and adjust it from your computer than it is to have a technician climb a ladder or use a bucket truck to do the same thing,â said Ben Keith, principal of Gold Line Marketing International, a Seattle-based consulting, project management, and manufacturer representative. âThe hourly fee for a technician â and, possibly, a bucket truck â far exceeds what it costs to sit at your desktop for five minutes and adjust the camera. With Canonâs Easy Setup PTRZ Tool loaded into your computer you just type in a cameraâs unique IP address and connect to it. The tool will disconnect the camera from whatever Video Management System that itâs on, and then let you remotely adjust its pan, tilt, rotation, zoom and focus settings.â
âFor example, say a loss-prevention manager at a department store calls his integrator to report that a decorator has inadvertently moved something into a cameraâs field of view,â Keith continued. âThe integrator can use Canonâs Easy Setup PTRZ Tool to call the camera up on his desktop and fix the problem. The end-userâs business isnât interrupted, and the integrator has fulfilled his service contract, so everyoneâs happy. There are many positives about the Easy Setup PTRZ Tool.â
Canonâs Easy Setup PTRZ Tool is a standard feature on Canonâs VB-M600VE and VB-M600D fixed megapixel IP security cameras. It enables users to control the built-in motor in these cameras to remotely change their pan, tilt, and rotation angle â as well as the lens zoom and focus position â after installation, without removing the cameraâs dome cover, which is an industry first. This application can also be used to adjust the zoom and focus on Canonâs VB-M700F fixed megapixel camera.
Both the VB-M600VE and VB-M600D models are dome cameras, with the VB-M600VE camera featuring a vandal-resistant IP66-rated outdoor dome. The VB-M700F camera has a traditional rectangular appearance. All three also provide sophisticated built-in video analytics designed to assist video monitoring professionals by detecting abandoned, moving, and removed objects as well as abnormal sound levels and camera tampering. Each camera features a high-resolution Genuine Canon optical zoom lens, a high-sensitivity 1.3-Megapixel CMOS image sensor, and the sophisticated Canon DIGIC NET image processor that enables the cameras to capture potentially crucial image detail in low-light. Sophisticated imaging features built into these cameras include Smart Shade Control, which automatically adjusts the contrast between bright and dark areas of the image for optimum detail display, and a special Night Mode for increased low-light sensitivity.
âThere are other manufacturers that have remote focus and zoom adjustment, but nobody has a four-axis remote-control device like Canon does,â Keith adds. âSome of them have three-axis adjustment, but the fourth axis is really the critical difference because it enables you to adjust the horizon of the camera once youâve achieved a new field of view. Every time I show Canonâs Easy Setup PTRZ Tool to clients they say, âWait a minute, we want to re-specify our job for these cameras.â This Easy Setup PTRZ Tool is a unique feature that works very well.â

I had similar symptoms but in addition the car's accelorator seem to have dead spots in it where it would not accelerate smoothly. It turned out to be a faulty fuel pressure regulator which was leaking fuel directly into the intake and intake vales mixing with the oil. After that was replaced and my fuel ridden oil was replaced - it ran fine after that.

I have baked these cookies in cutout shapes for Christmas and Easter for the last five or more years. My family loves the flavor that the addition of cinnamon brings ...they smell heavenly while baking and taste absolutely delicious! I do frost them with the frosting recipe for the best butter cookies & decorate them with colored sugars,decorator icing and sprinkles for the season.
I have made this recipe a few times with much success. I DO make the following modifications: omit the OJ - use milk, reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup and lowered the cinnamon. It is even good without the cinnamon. When I roll out the dough, i like to use icing sugar instead of flour. It does not get tough with re-rolling like some recipes do. I always get great reviews with the recipe. Thanks.

At my school we have 45 minutes of PE and everyone loves it! Then we have 15 minutes of recess. After that i go to ASC and we usually go outside or the gym every friday. Then I go home and work out at the gym.

It needs to be mandatory, so many young people are overweight and unhealthy. I love staying fit, its not always easy but you need to do it as a habit and not just once a week. I am happy a lot of my friends are kind of athletic so it makes it easier.

In new jersey they make us take a lot of gym more than the norm for the country because of our major. so public schools make u take it everyday pretty much depending on the circumstances. I have gym 4 times a week and we get a study hall on friday.
I hate gym class and its not making anyone loss weight its making people hate working out from a young age.

I would like this idea if only our gym classes did any good! When my mom was a girl, they did actual, hard exercises for 2/3 of the class, THEN play a game. Now, all we do is play games that the guys totally dominate, and then there are the girls and the geeks on the side. We need to actually get back to Presidential Fitness!

I live in Canada, and we take gym daily all through junior high, and then it's mandatory for one half of grade ten, and then it's an option from there on out.
Honestly, there are a few issues I have with making gym mandatory. First, it is cited that BMIs are proving that people are unhealthy. This is simply untrue. There have been many, many, many studies done that show that BMIs are a really ineffective way to measure health. There are people who weigh more or have weight distributed differently who run marathons and would be in the unhealthy range, and there are thin people who eat french fries every day and never exercise and according to the BMI would be totally healthy. Secondly, I think it's better to encourage people to find sports or activities they actually enjoy rather than forcing them in a class setting where they could be teased if they happen to not be good at whatever sport is happening in gym class.

At my school you are only required to take gym one semester to graduate. I really like. There are elective gym classes available as zero hours for upperclassmen who want to take more P.E. classes. I've always hated gym because we just played games and it just wasn't an accepting environment. I think a good way to have kids in more gym classes is to offer different kinds. Just playing little games and running sometimes isn't fun or effective. Having yoga, weight training, team sports and swimming for actual classes instead of small units would be much more effective. The problem with gym is when you are out of school and looking for a job people probably wont ask something like "Oh hey, before I can hire you I need to know if you can explain the rules of dodge ball!" Gym just doesn't teach super practical skills.
by Cece-marie on 6/2/2013 1:04:54 AM
Gym at our school is a required elective, so you only have to take it 3 out of the 4 quarters. That's enough for me! I really don't like gym. But honestly, I do appreciate it. I pretty much get a workout session daily.
by Glitterheart16 on 6/1/2013 11:30:07 PM
Gym is a required course for 3 of out the four 4 years at my high school and it's really pointless. I'm taking summer gym so I don't have to do it during school and it's 10 times easier
by unicornninja on 6/1/2013 9:52:56 PM
This is the worst idea I have ever heard. Gym classes are so ineffective in getting you to be active. Since they are directed at people who actually care about sports, they become useless and ineffective for everyone else. Also, the average amount of activity you get in gym class is 8 minutes. THINK ABOUT THIS.

Gophers Compete At UNI Open
Dec. 13, 2012
This past weekend, members of the University of Minnesota wrestling team participated in the University of Northern Iowa Open in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Twelve student-athletes competed in the tournament, which featured multiple fellow schools from the Big Ten Conference, with a few making high finishes on the weekend.
Matt Mincey was the Gophers' top finisher at the event, rolling to a 4-1 overall record for a second-place finish in the 149-pound weight class. Mincey opened with a 15-0 technical fall over Wisconsin's Lenny Bloom. In the second round, he defeated Joe Ducharme of Iowa by a 4-2 major decision. Mincey followed with two decision wins over Caleb Ervin (Illinois) and Zach Witte (Northern Iowa) to earn a spot in the finals, in which he fell to Northwestern's Jason Tsirtsis.
Brett Pfarr had another successful showing at 184 lbs. He began with a three-match streak but fell to Sam Brooks of Iowa (5-4 decision) in the semifinals to move to the backdraw. Pfarr defeated Purdue's Patrick Kissel, 6-1, then scored a 6-4 decision over Illinois' Jeff Koepke to finish third.
In the heavyweight bracket, Michael Kroells also took third place. Much like Pfarr, Kroells started the day strong, defeating Darius Lewis (Lindenwood) and Ben Schnurr (Iowa Central College) by falls at 4:42 and 2:56, respectively. Kroells earned a 9-0 major over Upper Iowa's Zach Rosol in the quarterfinals. While he fell in the semifinals by a 6-4 decision, he rebounded in the backdraw for a third pin of the day (4:51) to advance to the third-place match.

THURSDAY, July 17, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The nation's supply of registered nurses has been growing faster than expected, largely because baby boomers in nursing are working longer than ever before, according to a new study.
Due to both the delayed retirement of experienced nurses and a surge in new nursing graduates, there were almost 3 million nurses in the United States in 2012, about half a million more than estimated a decade ago.
Exactly why baby boomer nurses aren't retiring isn't known. But it could be that they are part of a trend among other Americans, particularly women, said David Auerbach, senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation in Boston. "They may be staying in the workforce because of their longer life expectancy and the satisfaction they get from being employed."
Auerbach suggested that it's possible that the trend is part of a shift that is bigger than nursing and more about the position of women in the workforce. "They are mirroring the position of men, working longer, especially in challenging economic times," he said.
The trend of registered nurses (RNs) delaying retirement has extended the average nursing career by 2.5 years after age 50, and increased the 2012 workforce by 136,000 registered nurses, according to the research.
The size of the registered nurse workforce is particularly sensitive to changes in retirement age, given the large number of baby boomer nurses now employed. About 74 percent of those nurses who are 62, and 24 percent who are 69 are still working, the researchers noted.
While it may be a positive thing for seasoned nurses to stay in their jobs longer, new graduates are finding it harder to get work, experts said.
A nursing shortage in the late 1990s, coupled with the anticipation of baby boomer nurses retiring in droves, spurred colleges to expand nursing education programs after 2000, said Auerbach. "Between 2002 and 2012 the number of nursing school graduates doubled," he said.
But the Great Recession that began in 2008 may have changed the retirement plans of many nurses, who might have seen their retirement funds plummet, had unemployed or underemployed spouses and, possibly, adult children returning home, said Judee Berg, executive director and president of the California Institute for Nursing and Health Care.
At the same time, the health care system has been retooling in response to implementation of the Affordable Care Act, aiming to reduce the number of days people are hospitalized and putting more emphasis on outpatient and home care, said Berg. That means some new graduates of nursing programs are finding hospital jobs harder to find, she added.
But experts are predicting an emerging new shortage -- a perfect storm -- when the economy improves, boomer nurses finally retire and the entire generation of baby boomers are seniors. Data from the U.S Census Bureau show there are more than 76 million baby boomers in the United States. "There is a real concern that there is a pent-up retirement that is going to happen," Berg said.
Even now, the job shortage for new nurses is not universal. Some regions of the United States -- Texas, Florida and North Dakota -- have many jobs available for new graduates, Berg said.
Information for the study came from the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS), from 2001 to 2012. The data included all respondents aged 23 to 69 who reported being employed as a registered nurse during the week of the survey.
The CPS surveys more than 100,000 people and is administered by the Census Bureau; it provides data on about 3,000 to 4,000 registered nurses per year. The ACS survey included up to 30,000 registered nurses for the sample period. The data was used to estimate the number of full-time nurses working each year and their ages.
For the time being, the trend means that consumers of health care will likely have more experienced and knowledgeable nurses, both in hospitals and in community and home care settings, said Berg.
"Patients will probably notice just a continued graying of the nurses they see," echoed Auerbach.
The study findings were published online July 16 and in the August print issue of the journal Health Affairs.

The Africa Finance Corporation, a multilateral development financial institution headquartered in Lagos, on Monday secured its first international credit rating from Moody's Investors Service.
Moody's has assigned the corporation an A3 (long-term) /P2 (short-term) foreign currency debt rating, making the AFC the second highest investment grade rated multilateral financial institution in Africa.
According to a statement by AFC, Moody's rationale for this investment grade rating is based on a sound capital adequacy position, high asset quality and strong prudential framework that support a high degree of liquidity, backed by an excellent profit margin and profit retention.
Additionally, it stated that the corporation's strong liquidity framework and position, excess of the requirements of Basel III Capital Accord on liquidity risk management, would mitigate against external economic shocks, and help support planned growth.
The outlook on the rating is stable.
The statement quoted the President/Chief Executive Officer, AFC, Mr. Andrew Alli, as saying, "Attaining an investment grade International credit rating, only six years after inception, is a tremendous achievement. It is a major milestone in the Corporation's history. This rating, together with AFC's strong capital position and the quality of its portfolio, will enable AFC to grow its balance sheet, broaden its asset base and expand its geographical footprint.
"It is a further endorsement of the corporation's rigorous investment process, innovative approach to infrastructure investment on the continent, world-class corporate governance and solid shareholder support. The corporation is poised to assist in further driving economic growth and industrial development in Africa. We are extremely pleased with the rating."
AFC was established in 2007 as a private sector-led Pan African multilateral development finance institution, with an initial capital base of $1.1bn, to be a catalyst for private sector infrastructure investment across Africa.
The organisation was established to help fill a critical void in providing project structuring expertise and risk capital to address Africa's infrastructure development needs.
AFC not only provides access to finance, deal structuring and sector technical expertise, but also advisory services, project development capacity, and funding. Its activities are meant to bridge the infrastructure investment and access deficits in the core infrastructure sectors of power, natural resources, heavy industry, transport and telecommunications, all critical pillars for economic growth across Africa, according to the statement

Posted October 11, 2012 on AP on Fox
(Eds: With AP Photos.) DeMarco Murray and the Dallas Cowboys' running game have been stuck in neutral since an impressive start. The unit that ran for 143 yards in a season-opening victory is now 29th in the NFL, averaging just 68 yards per game. And the only reason the Cowboys (2-2) are even that high is because of what they did against the New York Giants in that first game. Coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday there are a lot of different reasons for the struggles, and that the Cowboys have to get better to be more balanced offensively. ''We've talked about some of the pre-snap penalties that got us in some bad situations in a couple of games. We had some minus runs and there are different reasons for that as well,'' Garrett said. ''Guys getting physically beaten up front or on the edges or wherever they need to be. We've played against some good run-defending teams, where there has been a lot of movement up front.'' Murray missed the...

time to turn outside in
fall breaks down to begin again
shivering hands can not hold
longing can not keep us from the cold
we teach ourselves to live without
the things we once thought we'd never give up
taking turns, deconstruct recreate, redesign, recorrupt
and you take half my heart
forever yours to tear apart
Angel, has gone for good, for good
