The Worlds Largest Athlete To Make First Wizard World Appearance @ Georgia World Congress Center
The inaugural Wizard World Atlanta Comic Con just got a lot bigger as The Worlds Largest Athlete, WWE Superstar Big Show, will attend Wizard World Atlanta Comic Con on Saturday, May 31, at the Georgia World Congress Center. It will mark the first Wizard World appearance for the 7-foot-tall, 441-pound, larger-than-life WWE Superstar who will sign autographs and pose for photo ops from 12:30-2:45pm and will participate in a Q/A session from 3:00-3:30pm as announced today by Wizard World, Inc.
Big Shows appearance in Atlanta follows those of other WWE Superstars at recent Wizard World Comic Cons, including Sheamus®, Randy Orton®, John Cena®, WWE® Diva AJ Lee and others.
I have heard all the great things other WWE Superstars have said about Wizard World, and I cant wait to meet the WWE Universe at the inaugural Wizard World Atlanta Comic Con, says Big Show.
WWE Superstar Big Show is a giant superhero for so many kids across several generations of fans, says John Macaluso, Wizard World CEO. He is a giant of a man, with a giant fan base to match, and we are thrilled to have him for the first time ever at our Atlanta event.
Reminiscent of such Goliaths as Andre the Giant and Big John Studd, Big Show is a feared competitor who intimidates opponents with his size and stare alone. The Worlds Largest Athletes measurements are astounding: he wears a 22 EEEEE size shoe and boasts a 64-inch chest. The man from Aiken, South Carolina who was discovered at a charity basketball game by Hulk Hogan has met some of the biggest stars in sports face-to-face in the middle of a WWE ring. He has even taken on boxing champ Floyd Mayweather and NBA All-Star Shaquille ONeal to the delight of millions of fans around the world.
The Worlds Largest Athlete is also no stranger to film and television roles. His film credits include 2010s starring role as Walter Krunk in the WWE Studios family comedy Knucklehead alongside and an All-Star cast including Mark Feuerstein (Royal Pains), Melora Hardin (The Office), Dennis Farina (Law & Order) and Wendy Malick (Just Shoot Me!). He has also appeared in the feature films MacGruber, Jingle All the Way, Reggies Prayer, Little Hercules in 3-D and Waterboy. In addition, Big Show has guest starred on popular television shows including USA Networks Burn Notice, Nickelodeons Supah Ninjas, Brain Surge, Saturday Night Live, and Star Trek: Enterprise.
Big Show joins such noted pop culture figures as Nathan Fillion (Castle, Serenity), Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan, Jon Bernthal and Michael Rooker of The Walking Dead, James Marsters (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Torchwood) Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes, Rocky Balboa) and many others at Wizard World Atlanta Comic Con, set for May 30-June 1.
It is the seventh of 16 events scheduled in the 2014 series produced by Wizard World, Inc. (OTCBB: WIZD) and will also feature a top-drawer collection of well-known comics artists and writers and a variety of activities, exhibitors and special attractions. Wizard World Atlanta Comic Con show hours are Friday, May 30, 3-8 p.m.; Saturday, May 31, 10 a.m.-7 p.m., Sunday, June 1, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

Its 5600 members and 140 clubs across the US support TARC teams and a full range of other safe rocketry flying activities. The NAR provides information to educators, scholarships to student members, and grants to teachers who use rocketry in the classroom. These educator resources are described on the NAR website at
Estes Model Rocketry
Estes model rocketry is one of the most popular educational activities of teachers. What better way to introduce students to the study of aerospace and STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) than to involve them in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences! For over 50 years, Estes model rocketry has proven itself in tens of thousands of classrooms as an exciting teaching aid that captures all student's interest and provides both motivation to learn and valid learning experiences.
NASA's Adventures in Rocket Science Educator's Guide
This guide contains 25 activities designed for 4-H Clubs, Boys and Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, after-school programs, and other informal education venues. Participants learn about the history and principles of rocketry and NASA's newest rockets -- Ares I and Ares V. While doing these hands-on activities, participants also learn about Hero Engines, parachutes and surface area, altitude tracking, and Newton's Laws Of Motion.

Grants and Scholarships
Brendan M. Kutler Scholarship
A $20,000 scholarship paid in $5,000 increments over four years open to all seniors participating in TARC. The scholarship honors Brendan M. Kutler, who suddenly and unexpectedly died in his sleep on December 29, 2009, at the age of seventeen. Former AmSafe CEO, Mr. Terry Lyons remarked on the scholarship: "We are establishing this scholarship in the honor of Brendan Kutler, who, along with his teammates from Harvard Westlake School in Los Angeles competed in TARC in 2008, reaching the Finals and placing 13th in the nation overall. Rocketry was just one of Brendan's many diverse interests. It is in this spirit and in his honor and memory that we have established this scholarship. In an era where more often than not we hear about what is wrong with our upcoming generation, Brendan was a shining example of what is good in so many of today's young people. Through this scholarship, we hope to identify other young men and women with similar traits, values and aspirations and to help them, through education, to make a positive impact as tomorrow's leaders."

Hwa Rang Do Mastermind Class
November 2010 marked the beginning of the most important and valuable opportunity for ongoing instruction that has ever been available to the public in the history of our art.
It was then that Grandmaster Taejoon Lee decided that there needed to be an opportunity where his students and the general public, could receive ongoing instruction in the type of class, which focuses more on the technical, theory and fundamentals which make up the vast curriculum contained within Hwa Rang Do.
While an intense workout and staying in top shape is critical to becoming an effective martial artist, equally important is an understanding of basic bio-mechanics and why it is that Hwa Rang Do techniques are so effective when executed properly.
This is why we decided to start the seminar style 'Mastermind Class' with Grandmaster Taejoon Lee teaching,
every Tuesday and Thursday at 8pm.
The format will be casual, yet serious in instruction, focusing on proper execution of different self-defense techniques - including joint manipulation, joint locks, takedowns, submissions, pressure points, ground locks and so much more.
The normal pricing for these classes will be as follows:
Active WCHRDA Students
Per Class $20
Monthly: Once a week - $60 per month SAVE $20
Monthly: Twice a week - $110 per month SAVE $50
General Public
Per Class $40
Monthly: Once a week - $140 per month SAVE $20
Monthly: Twice a week - $270 per month SAVE $50
Previously, these type of classes were only available to our first degree Black Sashes and above.
Take advantage of the opportunity!

A few comparisons below. The Armani Summer 2013 Bronzer is similar to Bobbi Brown's Aruba, but the Armani is less frosty on the skin and the soft texture prevents it from turning orange.
7 comments:
For once I'm loving their all-in-one palette. Every shade seems to work really well and the bronzer is just to die for! I really love the fact that it's not too orange and the frostyness is not too much. I bet this will turn anyone into bronzed perfection ^^ReplyDelete
Hi Sabrina, what a stunning (probably an understatement) palette! I really like the subtlety of the bronzer :)ReplyDelete
I don't know why but I wish they would came out with some more unique shades, especially eyeshadows. I like the colours a lot but always tend to choose something more 'unique' instead. The bronzer is looking delicious though, I don't know how it would look on my N10 skintone though >.< / Claire xxxReplyDelete
Love the look of the eye shadows. :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts and swatches. Very useful.ReplyDelete
I think this one might finally work well for my skin tone! I love the pattern on the bronzer too. Would love to swatch it when it's available here!ReplyDelete
Not here, not yet - it drives me crazy this stuff is n/a in Germany!! Oficially it is, but I never get the LEs round here. Lovely combo.ReplyDelete
The eye shadows look similar to the ones in the ETK Shimmer palette #10 which I have and love! Thanks for posting!ReplyDelete

Harry Reid locked a little kid in a garage until he cried, Senator's son revealsSubmitted by Resistance_2009 on Thu, 12/23/2010 - 20:22
Once in a while, you will see a story about one topic which inadvertently reveals information about something completely different. Notorious left-wing statist Senator Harry Reid once locked an underage boy in his garage until he 'cried uncle', according to the Senator's own son Josh Reid.
Full story here: http://www.examiner.com/la-county-libertarian-in-los-angeles...
- Login to post comments
innuendo and ax grinding
sounds like this Reid guy was some kind of sadistic dungeon master who fed off the the tears of young victims he obviously kept in his garage no doubt for his perverted sacrifices in his satanic masonic temple lodge. And this Mike Lee character must be some kind of stockholm syndrome case demented and twisted over the years by his father's condoning close relationship with Reid and his cult. He must be some kind of sleeper cell trojan horse for cultish elite or some nwo outfit.
Or maybe mike lee was just being a punk kid back in the day, like many kids often are at that age, and Harry reid thought at the time to teach him lesson. Yes quite inappropriate and appalling by today's cps paranoid standards but not terribly controversial for the 80s.
SO rather than just address the issue that Reid is a terrible legislator and Mike Lee has an erroneous, albeit common, view on foreign policy, this author chose to creep into conspiracy land and taint the facts with innuendo, character assignation, assumptions and mild but obvious religious ax grinding to try to prove his point.
Yes Harry Reid's history of legislation is despicable. Yes he probably knew Mike Lee's father and Mike Lee growing up through political and church related activities. Just because you are ideologically opposed does not mean you cannot be friends or associate with other people who think differently than you do.
It is unfortunate that Mike Lee shares wittingly or not virtually the same foreign policy as every other hapless pathetic congressman in DC, whether Republican or Democrat and it's yet to be seen how Rand will come out or approach the issue but just because you have an ax to grind doesn't make it appropriate to sling around innuendo about and religious epithets about someone just because you disagree with their thinking on certain subjects. It cheapens any argument the author was trying make and makes them look like a two bit sensationalist tabloid conspiracy nut.
It seems I can't learn more by reading the story.
If that's the warning, thanks!
Free includes debt-free!
No there are some interesting points in the story
but the overarching assumptions and innuendo make distinguishing fact from fear mongering induced fiction somewhat difficult.
Harry Reid can take Chuck Norris - do not mess with him.
What a fine Mormon guy....
Makes me sick for anyone in Nevada who voted for him in usual robotic fashion. He's a fraud....he got suckered in.

Real Estate are getting ready to put out their third album, Atlas, but right before that happens they've issued a very fitting cover for us. The song is George Harrison's "Behind That Locked Door" off his triple post-Beatles breakup album All Things Must Pass. It's an excellent cover because it's a song that suits Real Estate's easy going majesty so well, and fits the slightly more existential tone of their new album. This all brings to mind another band they've taken a lot of influence from, Galaxie 500, who ended their best album On Fire with a cover of the most famous All Things track, "Isn't It A Pity." Listen to Real Estate's cover, which they performed for Sirius XMU, and the original below.
Atlas is out 3/4 via Domino. Stream it now.

June 1 Brings Three Important Changes to Reg Z
As a reminder, the first three of many CFPB changes to Reg Z - Truth in Lending go into effect June 1.
The Mortgage Loan Officer Compensation rule includes two important prohibitions. The first prohibits principal dwelling-secured credit transactions (both closed and open ended) from containing terms that require arbitration or any other non-judicial procedure. The credit union and member can always agree to use arbitration, but it cannot be required. It is important that credit unions examine their disclosures to ensure they are compliant.
The second change is the prohibition of financing single-premium credit insurance. A creditor may not finance, directly or indirectly, any premiums or fees for credit insurance in connection with a consumer credit-transaction secured by a dwelling (including a home equity line of credit secured by the consumer's principal dwelling). This prohibition does not apply to credit insurance for which premiums or fees are calculated and paid in full on a monthly basis. Credit unions are encouraged to work with any third-party vendors to continue offering insurance products while operating within the parameters of the new regulation.
The final change effective June 1 relates to mandatory escrow accounts. The period a mandatory escrow account must be maintained for higher-priced mortgage loans has been increased from 12 months to five years. Since there are various exemptions contained in these rule changes, it's important to make sure your credit union understands how they apply.

Three new Small Entity Compliance Guides published by the CFPB
On May 2, the CFPB published three new Small Entity Compliance Guides. The topics covered are the 2013 Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act Rule, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act Valuations Rule and the Truth in Lending Act Higher-Priced Mortgage Loans Appraisal Rule.
HOEPA Rule
TILA was amended to expand the HOEPA coverage to include purchase-money mortgages and open-end credit plans (HELOCs) and amended HOEPA's coverage tests. New protections were also added for high-cost mortgages, including a homeownership counseling requirement. The 2013 HOEPA Rule also implements two additional Dodd-Frank counseling requirements that may apply to credit unions, regardless of whether or not they make high-cost mortgages. As of the effective date, credit unions will need to require pre-loan homeownership counseling for negative-amortization loans to first-time borrowers and they will be required to provide all federal-related loan applicants a list of housing counselors. These new requirements will apply to transactions for which credit unions receive an application for on or after Jan. 10, 2014.
ECOA Valuations Rule
In January, the CFPB finalized the disclosure and delivery requirements for copies of appraisals and other written valuations under the ECOA rule. Prior to this new rule, it was only required that creditors provide copies of appraisals to applicants upon request and notify them of their rights to make a request. With the new rules, credit unions are required to automatically send a free copy of home appraisals and other written valuations promptly after they are completed, regardless of whether credit is extended, denied, incomplete, or withdrawn. These new requirements will apply to applications received on or after Jan. 18, 2014.
TILA HPMLs Appraisal Rule
Starting with applications received on or after Jan. 18, 2014, credit unions that originate covered HPMLs (first lien or subordinated lien closed-end loans secured by a consumer's principal dwelling) must comply with certain requirements, including:
The guide also provides steps consumers can take when reviewing the appraisal to be eligible for the "safe harbor" protections provided in the regulation.

A knot is a method of fastening or securing linear material such as rope by tying or interweaving. It may consist of a length of one or several segments of rope, string, webbing, twine, strap, or even chain interwoven such that the line can bind to itself or to some other object. Knots have been the subject of interest for their ancient origins, their common uses, and the area of mathematics known as knot theory.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
The geographical mile; a term derived from the knots on the log line, used by navigators. It is equal to 6,087 feet. Synonyms--Nautical Mile--Geographical Mile. [Transcriber's note: A knot is a velocity, 1 nautical mile per hour, not a distance. The contemporary definition is: 1 international knot = 1 nautical mile per hour = 1.852 kilometres per hour = 1.1507794 miles per hour = 0.51444444 meters per second = 6076.1152 feet per hour.]

Today Pope Benedict XVI's new encyclical letter, "Caritas in Veritate," was published. From time to time, popes issue such letters as guides to critical issues of the day, as seen in the light of faith.
As is their wont, the usual suspects have already hijacked the letter to push their statist agenda. "If the Catholic right is against the redistribution of wealth, they're against the pope," whines one leftist priest who is out of favor with Benedict. More power-lusters are sure to follow.
Lest freedom-loving readers be misled by these charlatans, who make out the pope to be a twenty-first century international socialist, permit me to make one thing perfectly clear: the letter's title is the heart of its message.
First, Charity is by definition voluntary. As soon as it becomes mandatory, it is no longer charity. It is theft backed by power, and the lust for power is recognized by the Church as the sin of Satan himself (1 John 2:16; Luke 4, passim). The Charity that Benedict calls for is the freely-given Christian love of individuals (states, after all, cannot love), and the pope calls on all of us to devote ourselves more fully and deeply to this love, the fruit of which is voluntary generosity and the source of which is Christ.
Second, truth is the indispensable companion of true charity. Given their track record, the possibility that today's governments could suddenly be trusted to tell the truth about anything, much less about what they are doing with the money taken from the productive taxpayer by force, would require a visible and profound conversion of truly miraculous proportions.
This demand for truth and voluntary charity — genuine Christian love — is central to all the particuars the Pope is calling for. The opportunistic left is busily cutting this beating heart out of the pope's letter, and trying to peddle the cadaver as a shabby leftist diatribe against economic freedom. As we might expect, their approach embodies neither truth nor charity.1:23 pm on July 7, 2009 Email Christopher Manion

Cold sores can be extremely painful and distressing. They start off as red inflamed splotches near or on the mouth. Soon they become fluid filled blisters. In a few days these blisters collapse and become ulcers. Once they become scabs, they eventually dry out and fall off on their own.
The herpes simplex virus is very common. Unfortunately, the herpes has no cure. But there are treatments to help fasten the healing process. Treatments include oral antiviral medicine and topical ointments.
When someone has an outbreak of cold sores the first thing that they want to know is how long do cold sores last? The answer is roughly between one to two weeks. But, it can take more or less than this as well. It depends on a lot of things like the treatment, causal triggers, climate, environmental conditions, etc.
Cold sores form in five stages and how long each stage takes determines how long do cold sores last. Here are the five stages of the cold sores cycle.
Stage 1: The Tingling Sensation
After the virus has been activated due to any of the triggers, a tingling sensation is felt on or near the lips. From the time the virus is triggered till the tingling sensation starts, it can take anywhere between seven to ten days. A red puffiness starts to develop and the area starts to become sore. This is a lot similar to the sensation felt when a zit is about to break out.
Stage 2: Blisters Start to Appear
On the second or third day after the tingling sensation had started the cold sores start to become visible. Fluid filled blisters begin to appear. It can be one large blister or a bunch of small blisters. Blisters are usually small in size.
Stage 3: Blister Open Up
Around the fifth day from the first appearance of the red puffy bump, the blisters open up and start to leak clear fluids. This stage lasts one or two days at maximum. This is often the most painful and the most contagious stage. Contact with the fluid will spread the herpes virus to anyone. Therefore, it is extremely important to maintain hygiene at this stage. Avoid rubbing the area with anything, only dab it with a tissue. Make sure that hands are washed frequently. When the fluid stops leaking, the cold sore moves on to the next stage.
Stage 4: Scab Starts to Form
Around the seventh day from when it all started a scab will start to form in the place of the blister. The scab is like a yellowish crust formed over the sore. This indicates that the sore has started to heal. It makes the area dry and itchy. Avoid picking at the scab. If the scab breaks if may cause bleeding. This will only prolong the healing process. Try keeping the scab moist by applying Vaseline or cream to it.
Stage 5: Cold Sore Starts to Heal
Scabs will shed and form continually till the cold sore is fully healed in this final cold sore stage. From the time the first scab forms, depending on how you take care of it, it can take up to twelve days for the cold sore to heal. When the skin is completely healed no more scabs will form and a pinkish new skin will be revealed.

In this Dec. 26, 2013 photo provided by the U.S. Coast Guard the icebreaker Mackinaw maintains a shipping lane on the St. Marys River linking Lakes Superior and Huron. It's been so bitterly cold for so long in the Upper Midwest that the Great Lakes are almost completely covered with ice. The last time they came this close was in 1994, when 94 percent of the lakes' surface was frozen. (AP Photo/U.S. Coast Guard
Updated: March 17, 2014 11:28AM
Lake Michigan looked a bit like a giant ice skating rink this week.
As of Thursday, more than 80 percent of the water was frozen.
But those who want to practice their triple axel on the lake should think twice.
It is still unsafe to walk on, National Weather Service Meteorologist Kevin Birk said.
"There have even been cases when the winds will shift, and the ice itself will move," Birk said. "Somebody who ventures out on the ice could be pushed out."
Ice coverage for the five great lakes combined reached about 88 percent Thursday, according to according to the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab.
Small bodies of water, such as ponds, usually freeze over in an even sheet of ice, but a body of water as large as Lake Michigan "become like a jumble of ice chunks that are pushed together by waves," Indiana Dunes State Park spokesman Ken Kosky said.
The "shelf" ice on Lake Michigan is much weaker than the sheet ice on inland lakes, officials said. As waves crash together, ice chunks create air pockets and weak spots.
"It's not stable and cave-ins have occurred recently. Warming spring conditions will only make it more dangerous," said Brad Bumgardner, an interpretive naturalist with the Indiana Dunes State Park .
But Gill said the ice isn't all bad. More ice means less evaporation and with the heavy snowfall, lakes have been getting more water fill.
"It protects the lake levels," he said. "From a water level standpoint, it will bode well for us come this summer."

Create this fun Just Because Layout from Hampton Art after a fun day out on the town with your kids or friends! This easy to make scrapbooking layout is great for beginning and advanced scrapbookers alike! If you'd like, you can change the colors of the paper to suit your desired layout.
- 1 5x7 bracket envelope (red)
- 3 scallop straight envelopes
- Mix up of stamps and inkers
- Felt with buttons
- The first step was that on the scallop straight envelopes I cut the front and back apart. I only wanted the backside, so I used the front to punch things from for another project.
- Layer the backs of the envelopes so you have the 3 pretty much going across the layout. Just make sure nothing is even....no measuring, just go for it.
- Next place your red envelope in the center.
- For the photos I used 4 4x6 photos trimmed and corner rounded.
- And finally stamp along the top edges of the envelopes and along the bottom right.

Marketplace rules: look, don't touch
There is a lot of misconception about marketplaces and I wanted to summarize my response to benefit more entrepreneurs.
Real marketplaces are much more powerful than just a collection of stores. Amazon, for example is a Super Store not a marketplace today. eBay, FaceBook and YouTube represent more fundamental marketplace principles – and as a result – fascinating growth.
Marketplaces are a favorite topic these days, perhaps spawned by sky-high valuations for social-media platforms such as FaceBook and Bebo. A social-media platform, you know, is nothing more than a marketplace in which personal attributes are traded (through the use of social applications).
Marketplaces are interesting because, if implemented successfully, provide massive user adoption and winner-takes-all leadership positions. Great traits for any investment portfolio. A marketplace is highly disruptive in a market where the premium opportunity, the Super Store model has been exhausted – or simply does not exist. Some markets, because of their highly fragmented nature, cannot be captured by high margin and proprietary access and a marketplace is the only way to leverage its total size.
I have written extensively about marketplace criteria in specific markets and its origination about 600 years back, so I won't cover that specifically here. But so many other markets are ripe for marketplace macro-economics delivered by technology. Virtually any market characterized by unique transactions between large amounts of sellers and buyers is a candidate for free-market principles. The life-cycle of proprietary markets is dramatically shortened by the Internet, a distribution medium that instantly removes artificial boundaries such as geographic location and limited access.
Here are 8 rules that make a marketplace succeed:
1/ Un-arbitrated participation
No seller or buyer should be banned from participating in the marketplace. A key fundamental of a marketplace is that it grows itself and that the quality of the buyer and seller is a reflection of the market, not controlled by the market. After-all, the purpose is to connect The Long Tail of supply with The Long Tail of demand.
2/ Un-arbitrated transactions
Apart from exchanges that are illegal by law, no transactions should be banned. People come to a marketplace to perform a unique transaction, one they could not act on in a premium market.
3/ Free pricing mechanisms
Pricing models and terms are defined either by the seller or buyer or by both. Not by the marketplace. Pricing models can include such transactions as sell, auction, reverse auction or subscription – or even a combination of those. Pricing, including free, is completely and independently determined by or between seller and buyer, predetermined or negotiated. The marketplace takes a simple transaction fee off of the transaction value.
4/ Predictable behavior
Marketplaces need to establish trust in order to survive and thrive. Pricing models and behavior of the marketplace need to be predictable and follow (not dictate) the goals of buyers and sellers. The marketplace should follow the needs of the market not the other way around.
5/ Transparency of transactions
Marketplaces rely on a vast new influx of sellers and buyers to grow to massive size. That means the marketplace must operate with a transparency that shows new buyers or sellers how to become successful as most of its users are greenfield participants.
6/ Meritocracy builds reputation
Trading favors and segmentation can be established but only based on mechanisms that are derived from real transactions, not plainly from user opinions. Opinions are useless if not supported by a proven reputation within the marketplace. Transactions based reputations provides long-lasting stickiness to the marketplace.
7/ Support for intermediaries
For existing markets moving from premium to a free-market, its existing intermediaries need to be able to continue to represent their sellers or buyers. A new technology marketplace should not want to disintermediate or alienate those agents.
8/ Non-compete
The marketplace cannot itself participate in the marketplace by providing its own transactions or even participate in – or act on behalf of – transactions between sellers and buyers. Apart from the fact that the business models don't jive, a marketplace cannot be trusted when it simultaneously participates and facilitates an impartial exchange.
So, a simple method to determine whether a marketplace has massive market potential is to hold it up against the rules provided here. These rules are macro-economic principles that dictate how markets behave and grow, the technology implementation must support those principles to have a chance of making it big.
It's a free world after all.

There were a number of other consolidations and collabrations between Unitarian and Universalist organizations which paved the way for the consolidation of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America. A few individual churches merged and some ordained ministers held dual fellowship. The denominations under the umbrella of the Council of Liberal Churches collaborated in the areas of religious education, public relations, and publications. Among the most important considerations was in the youth movements of the two demoninations.
The 19th century saw the rise of voluntary associations in both Unitarian and Universalist churches—for example, women's associations, Sunday Schools, altar guilds, men's clubs, and youth organizations. Following the creation of similar groups for young people in other denominations, the Western Unitarian Conference, under the leadership of Jenkin Lloyd Jones, organized Unity Clubs in the late 19th century. These groups were largely literary and philosophical in nature. The youth they served were not the high school-aged youth we think of today, but people in their twenties and thirties. In the East, Universalist churches organized young people's Christian Endeavor Societies, oriented toward religion and social service. These societies, in turn, spurred the rise in the Eastern Unitarian churches of young people's guilds with similar goals.
In 1889, individual Universalist Christian Endeavor Societies organized into the Young People's Christian Union (YPCU). In 1896, the Unitarians followed suit, combining various groups into the Young People's Religious Union (YPRU). From that time on, the YPCU and YPRU met jointly in "Uni-Uni" rallies, in addition to meeting for their individual conferences.
The YPCU's great focus was missionary work, both domestic and international. In 1893 they hired Quillen Shinn as the national organizer for missionary work, and a year later began the "Two Cents a Week Plan" which asked every YPCU member to donate one dollar annually (or two cents per week) to missionary work. The "Two Cents a Week Plan" was extraordinarily successful, lasting (with several name changes) until 1927 and raising tens of thousands of dollars to spread the word of Universalism. The Unitarian YPRU was more modest in its goals. Centered largely in New England, its fundraising was done through semi-annual bazaars held in Boston, Massachusetts.
Over time, partly because the military draft for two world wars took young men away from home, the age of members began to drop. In 1894, YPCU had started the first organization for high school-age youth, the Junior Union, which after one year boasted 40 chapters nationally. In the early 1940s both YPCU and YPRU deliberately lowered their age requirements. In 1941, YPCU reorganized as the Universalist Youth Fellowship (UYF) serving young people ages 13 to 25. The following year YPRU became American Unitarian Youth (AUY) with members ages 15 to 25.
In the 20th century, the youth organizations of both denominations took similar paths. Each experienced times of growth and times of challenge in response to World Wars, the Great Depression, and tensions over generational, denominational, and social issues. From the beginning, the two organizations had shared close relations, meeting jointly, printing joint publications, and taking on service projects such as the 1930s Peace Caravans to respond to the escalating international arms race. By the 1950s they were ready to make their partnership formal. When it appeared their parent denominational bodies would merge into the Council of Liberal Churches—a precursor to the Unitarian Universalist Assocation—the youth organizations began the work of consolidation. The 1950 annual meetings of both youth groups selected representatives to a joint committee to explore the possibility of consolidation and what would need to happen to make it possible and desirable. After three years of joint investigation and discussion the two youth organizations merged in 1953, becoming the Liberal Religious Youth.

Ramp is a Portuguese heavy metal band. They began their career in 1989. Their heavy metal is more similar to that which is played in America, rather than its European counterpart. They are often called the "Portuguese Metallica". One feature they were always capable of maintaining throughout their albums is originality. The peak of their career was undeniably in 1998/99, with the album "EDR" and the following promotional tour. In 2003, they released their first self-produced record, entitled "Nude". Ramp is one of the most influential metal bands in Portugal. They have played on all main rock events in Portugal, namely 3 appearances on the summer rock festival Super Bock Super Rock, in Lisbon.

Cyprus Holidays: Why Cyprus?
The gateway to the east, Cyprus is an island of huge contrasts, with near guaranteed sunshine that seemingly warms the hearts of her congenial people. Sun kissed shores or snow capped mountains, a place where wild and rolling countryside envelopes villages with deep rooted traditions and cosmopolitan resorts offer every conceivable attraction to the discerning Cyprus visitor.
|Nature lovers can enjoy abundant wildlife in Cyprus, foxes, hares, sea turtles, the shy Moufflon, not to mention the birds and hundreds of species of flowering Cyprus plants. The Cyprus coast has large open bays of sandy and shingly beaches and precipitous cliffs that plunge into the mediteranean sea. The leisurely pace, the kind and genuine locals (Cypriots), always ready with a smile and a wave and who welcome all and consider a visit to their island as a compliment.
|The gently lapping waves entice swimmers and divers alike into the deep azure sea and the flora and fauna of the Cyprus-weather changing seasons make for a walker or naturalist's paradise. You will be pleased you decided to visit. The weather in Cyprus will not disappoint. Even when it rains it is still exciting as it is normally accompanied by violent thundestorms and spectacular sky displays.
A rich and vibrant history has bestowed Cyprus with many archaeological treasures from Roman times to Byzantine and Ancient Greek, traces of all these regimes are found almost everywhere. Religious monuments are also varied and important examples are scattered throughout such as the incredible remains of a 4th century, seven-aisled basilica, Khrysopolitissa, said to have been built by St Paul himself.
|But most likely we're preaching to the converted! You are probably one of the many that have already been to Cyprus and return time and time again.
|Many of theholiday makers to Cyprus in recent years have foundthat their experience is enhanced by the indepedence and freedom offered by a Cyprus villa rental - as opposed to a hotel stay. And for many short holidays to Cyprus turn into longer more enjoyable through purchasing their own home/villa in the sun, buying land and building their own design villa. At Getaway-Villas.com we specialise in both villa rentals and in property sales, in selected Cyprus locations.

Things are going to get wild around Los Angeles' L.A. LIVE this weekend as World Wrestling Entertainment brings its annual SummerSlam pay-per-view event to Staples Center on Sunday.
WWE is hosting a slew of events leading up to the main show, including its SummerSlam Axxess, the ultimate fan experience, which allows spectators to rub elbows with wrestling's elite, attend autograph signings and special Q&A sessions, view live matches and more.
General admission sessions, which will be held at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. Sunday in the Nokia Plaza at L.A. LIVE, will feature time with WWE Superstars like the Miz, Mick Foley, Jack Swagger, Booker T, Brodus Clay and WWE Divas AJ Lee, Summer Rae and Katilyn. Those who splurge for VIP access can also take photos and chat with some of the biggest names in the industry, including John Cena, Kane, Big Show, Triple H, CM Punk and Shawn Michaels.
Once SummerSlam is over, most of the WWE Superstars and Divas will head to the Honda Center in Anaheim for Monday Night RAW, where the main attraction will be Cena teaming up with Mark Henry to take on the Shield in a two-on-three handicap tag team match.
With all of this wrestling action descending upon Southern California, we set up quick interviews with WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler, 33, a WWE Intercontinental Championship winner and Cleveland, Ohio native; and WWE Diva Natalya, 31, a Canadian and daughter of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Natalya also currently stars on E!'s reality TV show "Total Divas."
WWE Superstar Dolph Ziggler
Q. Are you happy to be so prominently featured on the official SummerSlam poster?
Ziggler: I didn't look this great not to be on the poster, right? I'm a big up-and-coming guy in the biz, so sure, I should be on the poster. I'm going to be in a signature match at SummerSlam and that's a big deal for the WWE to be in L.A., taking over the place for like a week. Sunday at Staples Center is going to be the sold-out biggest party of the summer, so why wouldn't I be the poster boy? I was surprised that I was on (the front) of it but I am sitting next to my ex (WWE Diva AJ), which is kind of funny, but that's how it goes.
Q. What's your signature move?
Ziggler: Do you mean like my signature move, like picking up a girl in a bar? They're both similar, but in the ring, my signature move is called the zig-zag, where I jump pretty high and bring a guy down on his head. That's sort of my finishing maneuver. I'm also known for being fast and quick – I'm not one of the bigger guys out there so I have to be quicker, better, smarter so I kind of pride myself on all of those points.
Q. Have you ever had a wardrobe malfunction during a match?
Ziggler: I've had several, and a couple of them have actually been on accident. In my first couple of weeks I was having trunks made for me so I was wearing underwear with a bigger pair of underwear over the top and, of course, things aren't meant to be in motion like that and stay in place, so it's happened a few times. Luckily none of that has been on national television.
Q. Which championship title means the most to you?
Ziggler: When I won the Intercontinental Championship (in 2009), that was for sure another big stepping stone in my career.
Q. When you have downtime, what is one of your guilty pleasures?

Nolan and Kim DãEon, owner/operators of the Eel Lake Oyster Farm, at the Yarmouth Farmers Market, where they enjoy introducing local residents to this much sought-after seafood delicacy. Belle Hatfield photo
By Belle Hatfield
For the Vanguard
Nolan and Kim DãEon have become familiar faces at the farmersã markets in Yarmouth and Tusket, behind their signature ice-filled dory full of oysters harvested from Eel Lake in Ste.-Anne-du-Ruisseau. The couple has operated Eel Lake Oyster Farm since 1995, but they still encounter people every week who are surprised to learn Yarmouth County is home to the Ruisseau oyster.
When he began building a home on the shores of Eel Lake in 1979, DãEon shared a dream with his wife. The dream was to some day turn the lake into a living, so that he would no longer have to leave for days at a time to go fishing at sea.
Some dreams take longer to realize than others ã and the secret to transforming dreams to reality is often rooted in a lot of really hard work.
It might have been the nasty cuts he got from the oyster-encrusted bottom of the lake while swimming, or the local stories about the aborted venture in the 1950s-60s to grow oysters commercially. It might have been the evidence discovered in nearby middens (the garbage dumps of earlier cultures) that oysters were a staple in the diet of earlier civilizations. Maybe it was a combination of all those factors, but gradually an idea took root. There were oysters growing wild in the lake. Why couldnãt they become the seed from which to grow his dream?
In 1995 DãEon decided to try to make it in the oyster business. Instead of harvesting wild oysters he became a farmer of oysters. Eel Lake Oyster Farm now produces a significant percentage of Nova Scotiaãs export of cultivated oysters. Oysters account for only a tiny percentage of this provinceãs total landed value of farmed fish species ã in 2009 158 metric tonnes were produced, worth around $676,000, some of which were from Eel Lake.
But DãEon says there is lots of room to grow the industry. Most of his oysters are exported to Quebec and Ontario, and his farm has not yet been able to meet the demand. But to grow his business he has to expand.
The farm has reached the limits of production in Eel Lake, he says. The operation is limited by the amount of available feed in the water. Thatãs the great thing about oyster farming: everything an oyster needs to grow to market size is available in its natural habitat. They are not ãfedã like many other farmed species, giving farmed oysters the World Wildlife Fundãs seal of sustainability approval. But that means you do not crowd oysters, if you want them to reach perfection. It is exciting times for the business, DãEon says, revealing that within a few months the farm will be expanding to leased sites at the mouth of the Argyle River.
He describes the first decade in the business as filled with ãtrial and error.ã
ãItãs only been the last four or five years, that we really began to understand what weãre doing. Now weãve got it right,ã he says.
