Here's a press release about the show.
Music superstars Amy Grant and Vince Gill will embark on their sixth Christmas tour, The Twelve Days of Christmas which will be at the Ted Constant Convocation Center on December 8 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $38.00, $58.00, $75.00 and $95.00 and go on sale Friday, September 30 at 10 am.

"Christmas audiences are special," explains Grant. "They tend to involve the whole family, and their emotions are a wonderful mix of anticipation and reverence. It's a thrilling experience for both of us." "These holiday tours have become our favorites," Gill agrees.
In their two hour concert, the Grammy-winning husband-and-wife team will present cherished standards and newer seasonal fare as well as some of their biggest hits.
Amy Grant's career spans over 25 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality, and philanthropist. Grant has sold more than 30 million albums and won six GRAMMY® Awards in multiple categories, beginning with the platinum selling Age to Age in 1982. She also has six #1 hits, including "Baby, Baby," and "Every Heartbeat" and is one of only two Christian artists to be awarded a star on the legendary Walk of Fame in Hollywood. Grant released her first live recording in 25 years with Time Again...Amy Grant Live in September 2006, and then announced her first ever label shift to EMI Music Group where her entire music catalog was re-mastered and released via a GREATEST HITS CD and made available for the first time digitally. In the fall of 2008 she released her first new Christmas music in 9 years, THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION, and this past March released her first new music in 6 years, with SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD.
One of the most popular singers in modern country music, Vince Gill has a love for country music, top-notch songwriting, and world-class guitar playing, all wrapped in a warm tenor and a quick and easy wit. Gill achieved his big breakthrough with "When I Call Your Name," which won the Country Music Association's Single of the Year award. Since then, he has won 17 more CMA honors, including Song of the Year four times – making him the most awarded artist in that category in CMA history. Since 1990, Gill has walked away with 20 Grammy Awards and has racked up sales in excess of 26 million. Gill co-hosted the CMA Awards for 12 consecutive years. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007. After a long and musically productive spell of writing, touring and recording with other artists, he roars back on his own with "Threaten Me With Heaven," his first single in four years. The song is the opening salvo from his MCA Records album, Guitar Slinger, due out Oct. 24. Gill boasts three best-selling Christmas albums of his own: Let There Be Peace On Earth, Breath Of Heaven and Christmas Collection.

BRANSON, Mo. – The Downtown Gateways signage, approved on its first reading, is now back to the drawing board after aldermen voted down the project on its final reading.
The city received only one bid for two signs to be built on Commercial Street for $523,149 – 40% percent higher than expected. The single bid came from Carson-Mitchell, the same firm that built the RecPlex.
Alderman Rick Todd says his decision to approve the signage didn't set well with him:
Rick Todd H012 (:20) "…ready to go"
Aldermen stopped the project with the current bid with a vote of 5 no and one yes – the lone vote in favor of the project coming from Alderman Chris Bohinc
Chris Bohinc H013 (:14) "…have lower bids"
The board directed the engineering staff to re-bid the project.

[Begin VIDEO with Kristin Arnold introducing the video topic]
Kristin Arnold: Bankrate.com has released its annual Checking Account study and here to discuss some of the findings is Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com.
[Cut to a double screen of Kristin Arnold and Greg McBride]
Kristin: What is the latest with free checking accounts?
Greg: The decline in free checking is in full swing. Just 45% of non-interest accounts are now free. That's down from 65% last year, and the peak of 76% just two years ago.
Kristin: Are there ways to avoid the fees?
Greg: There are…and that's the good news. Even though free checking is on the decline, fee waivers are on the rise. For example, non-interest accounts ... and additional 47% of accounts offer the ability to get that fee waived most commonly through direct deposit. So, 92% of non-interest accounts are either free or can become free ... and that's up from last year. Very similar on the interest accounts, however, the threshold to get the fees waived is much higher. You typically have to keep a pretty significant balance either at the bank or specifically within the checking account.
[Cut to one shot of Kristin on camera]
Kristin: Alright, some great information to help consumers avoid these fees. Thanks Greg. To see more of Bankrate.com's annual Checking Account study and to search for free checking accounts in your area, go to Bankrate.com.

I have had this obsession with trying to work a minor Elder Things theme into a mono-yog deck when I first started playing the game less than 6 months ago. To me it seemed like a daunting task but here is my first attempt at what it should look like. I am sure some of you out there will have plenty to say about my noobish mistakes but I welcome you all to point out my errors, ask questions and make suggestions. I am looking forward to what you guys have to say.

One of our favorite portraits that day was "Conversation Piece at the Royal Lodge, Windsor" (c.1950), a serene scene of the future Queen Elizabeth II at tea with her daddy, mummy, and little sister – who just happened to be a King, a Queen, and a Princess. Now that's what I call RoyalTEA! The original of this informal family portrait is roughly 3x5 (feet) and I must say, it is quite impressive.
Here's the official description:
King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth II), and her sister Princess Margaret. The Royal Family remained in London throughout the war, and when Buckingham Palace received a direct hit the Queen said 'now we can look the East End in the face'. Determination to share in the fate of the nation increased the popularity of the monarchy. The informality of the presentation, for which the Queen was responsible, was entirely new: set at Royal Lodge, where the family's life was informal, and at tea-time, an accessible and very British occasion. Gunn, who had been chosen by the King and Queen for the commission, recalled the difficulty of placing the corgi, moving it about on the canvas in a paper cut-out. Commissioned to hang in a public collection, its domestic character demonstrates changes in perceptions of the monarchy.
Copies of many images in The National Portrait Gallery's collection can be purchased either in person (if you happen to find yourself in London), or via the internet. Click here for details. Or perhaps you would care to join me in person for the 2009 Tea in London tour...

Rite of Spring introduces a group of seven intrepid skiers – six of whom live in Rhode Island – who prepare for a run down the daunting Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington in the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. The highest peak in Northeast America, Mount Washington is one of the top 10 most dangerous – and, therefore, most thrilling – places to ski, climb, or hike. Snowy for more than half the year, Tuckerman Ravine is on Mount Washington's east side, and is known for its spectacular scenery, deep snow, and challenging terrain.
As the skiers prepare for their backcountry trek, filmmaker Sheri Miller Bedau of North Attleboro, Massachusetts, narrates a retrospective on the sport of skiing, including the formation of the volunteer ski patrol, the Appalachian Mountain Club, Special Olympics at Yawgoo Valley in Exeter, Rhode Island, adaptive skiing by disabled veterans, and treacherous winter weather monitoring at the Mount Washington Observatory.
The film also shows the training, extensive equipment, and mental preparation needed to successfully face and conquer the challenging trail. We travel with the group to Tuckerman Ravine in the fall as they observe the lay of the land and capture a sense of its majesty before winter snows transform the landscape. Finally, after the worst of the avalanche season has passed, the skiers make their run in the spring, earning bragging rights for accomplishing their goal.
Watch for these Rhode Island skiers in the film: Norm Lambert of Smithfield, Jamestown native and South Kingstown resident Ben Jacobsen, retired Cranston fire fighter Tom Gregory, Josh Kroll of Narragansett, and Warwick residents Kyle Vrendenburg and Jeff Clare. Rite of Spring made its television debut on Thursday, September 6 at 9 P.M. on Rhode Island PBS.

The German Consulate General in Atlanta offered the local school the pleasure of Spillmann's performance.
Constance Heery, director of communications, said the consulate covers six states: Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina. Every year the consulate extends an invitation to German artists to perform in the United States. It is an opportunity to offer a glimpse of the culture tucked away in Europe on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Heery said a special earmark of the project is to find artists who can help teach the German language.
Students at the Montessori Kinder had the opportunity to see a German magician perform last year.
Monday afternoon found them once again entranced, this time by Spillmann and his props — namely Kasper, a puppet with a personality about as long as his nose.
Engaged audience members eagerly helped Kasper as he entered a battle of wits with a pirate who had stolen his gong.
Everyone remained strong even as the pirate attempted to scare the information out of them.
"Boo!" he bellowed.
His shouts, yodels and howls were met with giggles. Children twisted and turned in their seats with laughter.
The pirate waved his black flag and demanded to know if the students were scared.
"Nein," they responded.
Undeterred, the pirate continued, "Ein Bisschen?"
To which the children once again responded, "Nein."
"A little bit?" the pirate asked in English.
"Nein," the children said in German.
"Ein kleines bisschen?" the pirate tried again.
"Nein," the children assured him.
"Ein klitzekleines bisschen?" the pirate asked, looking for even a smidgen of fear.
As one, the children shouted over the laughter of the adults, "Nein!"
Montessori Kinder Director Brigitta Hoeferle said only a portion of the students attending the puppet show speak German.
Spillmann kept a close eye on his audience to ensure amusement overpowered any confusion. He incorporated a mixture of English and German throughout the two shows.
Spillmann said the response and attention of the audience was good.
"It looks fun, but for those kids who learn German, it is hard work to follow and find the right words when they are asked a question," Spillmann said. "I'm sure after a couple of minutes, they don't realize if it is spoken in German or English."
Continued Spillmann, "They want to help Kasper. They want to find his gong. They want to release him from being a pig."
Hoeferle explained teaching students the language is only part of the German studies experience.
"There is so much more than the spoken word. There is so much more that I have a mission [in] maintaining for my children. For them to comprehend what it means to be a real German, not just speaking the language and understanding their grandparents, but understanding what it really means to be a German," Hoeferle said. "What I enjoyed as a child, I want to pass on to my children."
She said culture brings languages alive.
"That is the Montessori method. Everything we learn, all the academics come alive with all of our material," Hoeferle said. "If it becomes tangible, then it becomes fun."
Spillmann said the tradition of Kasper and puppeteering in general have begun to decline in Germany.
He said he counts himself as lucky to have made a living on the art for more than 25 years.
"In Germany, I am sort of proud when I have those kids who lack those [German language skills] ... those kids sit there and enjoy the show in a language that is completely different from their own," Spillmann said. "They can understand the mechanisms, get engaged and it is great. I see the eyes of those kids, and I am very happy."

With songs such as "All My Exes Live in Texas" blaring, there was a Texas flare at Oregon's first practice Thursday in San Antonio.
Media got a glimpse of the Ducks practicing for 10 minutes at Alamo Heights High School.
Quarterback Marcus Mariota, who has been facing a knee injury since before the Stanford game on Nov.7, didn't wear a knee brace at practice.
In the 10 minutes media had access, the offense ran various drills, practicing fumble recoveries and ball security, before breaking out into a passing drill. The kicking unit worked out with strength and conditioning coach Jim Radcliffe. Head coach Mark Helfrich was present on the offensive side of the field, giving directions to both the wide receivers and running backs.
The defense practiced on the south end of the field. At first, a group of defensive backs, linebackers and defensive linemen stood in four lines and practiced strip drills (one player held that ball and jogged forward while another player ran behind him to rip the ball out of his arm). Defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti yelled throughout the drill, sometimes to encourage his players and reward them for their effort, other times to scold them for not performing how he wanted.
After the few minutes for the strip drill ended, Aliotti yelled, "Okay, we're moving to individual drills!" He directed the cornerbacks to the west side of the field, the linebackers to the south and the linemen to the east. The cornerbacks worked on jamming receivers. One defensive back (usually in an orange jersey) played the role of a wide receiver, while another (such as starters Ifo Ekpre-Olomu and Terrance Mitchell) lined up in coverage. The cornerbacks would jam the receivers about five yards into their routes, just like they would in a game.
Tight end Pharaoh Brown, who was suspended for the Alamo Bowl due to his actions in the snowball fight on campus, was at practice sporting an number 34 orange jersey as part of the scout team unit (note: there is number 34 listed on the active Texas roster).
Several players, including junior linebacker Derrick Malone, wore red non-contact jerseys over their regular green ones. Malone injured his knee against Oregon State on Nov. 29.
After practice, selected Oregon team members will go over to visit the Center for the Intrepid.

K.O. Artist, Abe Lopez, Set To Return To Form!
By Sig Guillermo
Thompson Boxing Promotions presents: "New Blood": the spectacular April 29th co-feature to Herrera VS. Favela, as undefeated knockout artist, Abraham "Chamaco" Lopez (13W-0-10KO's) of La Puente, California, faces former Golden Glove Amateur champion, Aaron "El Gavilan" Garcia (10W-1L-2KO's-2D) of Vista, California in a scheduled six round contest at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, California.
Infamous for his love of knockouts, Abraham Lopez looks to further his status as the top tier featherweight in the division as he pursues his fourteenth professional win against the former 2003 Pan American Game Silver Medalist in a long-awaited slugfest.
The twenty-eight year old Garcia vows to take apart the young prospect's unblemished resume with a re-invigorated work ethic and more determined frame of mind. Since returning to the ring in 2006 after suffering his only defeat to seasoned veteran, Saul Ochoa, "El Gavilan" has remained unbeaten. He has since strung up five victories, including a four round majority decision upset win over Tijuana, Mexico's Alejandro "Alex" Lopez on February 26, 2011 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Born in La Puente, California, Abraham "Chamaco" Lopez has come a long way since making his professional debut on March 15, 2008 with a first round annihilation of Lancaster, California's Alberto Soto. His style continues to resonate with much promise, as he possesses heavy-hands along with the coordination and speed to match. The twenty-three year old sensation has already knocked out eight out of ten victims within just two rounds. Dangerous is an understatement for all who've shared the ring with him. He also looks to continue his featherweight reign in hope of a world title shot in 2011. Brace yourselves for an all-action shoot out, and may the best man win.
For more exciting fights, visit Thompson Boxing Promotions this Friday, April 29 when highly-regarded junior welterweight Mauricio "El Maestro" Herrera will try to extend his three fight winning streak as he battles veteran Cristian "Filoso" Favela in the main event of "New Blood" at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, California.
Also featured on this seven bout card will be Alberto "Baby Dynamite" Herrera, and unbeaten Jonathan "Lil' Thund'r" Arellano.
Tickets for "NEW BLOOD" are priced at $75, $45, and $30. They are available now and may be purchased by calling 714-935-0900.

NOW 7-KETO LeanGels Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Dieting and losing weight is easier said than done. Countless women and men realize this when they have difficulty shedding unwanted pounds of body fat. This is why so many health and nutrition companies are consistently coming up with new dietary supplements for weight reduction. Many of these products come in the convenient form of a capsule, tablet, gel cap, or pill. Most of them are taken daily to assist with weight loss and calorie burning. The specific supplement we will hone in on in this review is NOW 7-KETO LeanGels.
- 7-Keto® (DHEA Acetate-7-One)100mg
- Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)400mg
- Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis) (Leaf)75mg
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine (From Acetyl-L-Carnitine HCl)15mg
- Rhodiola Extract (Rhodiola Rosea) (Root)10mg
- Gelatin
- Glycerin
- Water
- Sunflower Oil
- Beeswax
- Soy Lecithin
Product Features
NOW 7-KETO LeanGels are available for a retail price of $39.99 (60 softgels). This diet formula is supposed to aid with weight management support. It contains key ingredients to fight free radical damage, support a healthy body weight, and speed up the metabolism. NOW 7-KETO LeanGels can be taken twice each day with food. This formula is free of ingredients like shellfish, sugar, wheat, starch, salt, gluten, yeast, egg, corn, and milk.
DHEA is a core ingredient found in NOW 7-KETO LeanGels. It assists by helping you maintain a healthy body weight. CLA is also used in this formula, and may help you maintain lean muscle tissue. Green Tea Extract, Rhodiola Extract, and Acetyl L-Carnitine are all added to boost your metabolism and encourage weight reduction. This diet product can be found for sale on websites like bodybuilding.com. However, there is no refund guarantee mentioned at all.
- You do not need a doctor's prescription to acquire NOW 7-KETO LeanGels.

- There are no before and after photos posted to support this diet pill.
- A significant amount of caffeine is used in this supplement.
- There are no key ingredients used to suppress appetite.
- Regular exercise is not recommended with this weight loss pill.
Overall, NOW 7-KETO LeanGels does not really stand out as a unique and effective diet product. While this supplement does contain CLA, which can be beneficial to the body, it also contains ample amounts of caffeine. This can lead to side effects like jitters, insomnia, nervousness, or even headaches. We do not recommend this over-the-counter weight loss pill. It would be nice to see some before and after photos or user testimonials posted to support NOW 7-KETO LeanGels, or at least a money-back guarantee.

Hand-picked, full-flavoured 'Tardivo di Ciaculli' mandarins – one of the noblest varieties – are the basic ingredient of this delicious marmalade. The mandarins are practically pipless, thin-skinned, are very juicy and have an extra- high fructose content. They get their concentrated flavour from the fact that they're harvested as late ('tardivo') as January through to March, and the careful way the marmalade's prepared ensures that none of the flavour gets lost. The fruit is grown by the makers, the Consorzio Il Tardivo di Ciaculli in the Conca d'Oro near Palermo. The farm landscape here with its orchards has, in places, been preserved in its original form to the present day. The mandarins have been officially classified as 'Slow Food Products'.

The SEO prize for any brand is to be found at the top of a Google search. It lets people know that your brand is the go-to source for what they need and it provides exposure that cannot be gained without paying for it.
Getting to the top of a search rank can be a hard climb. Google regularly updates its algorithms to enhance its users' experience and to prevent brands and online entities from gaming the system to push their sites higher in searches. These changes are often discovered after they are already in place, but there are things brands can do to optimize website content without risking future Panda, Penguin or any other animal algorithmic changes.
Mike Samec, director of digital strategy at Gibbs & Soell Business Communications and featured speaker at PR News' upcoming Google Boot Camp on July 15, shared some tips on achieving better search results for your brand.
- Create meaningful content for your audience. Create unique, useful and interesting content for your target audience. Follow usability best practices to ensure a positive visitor experience. Unique content will naturally attract links that will help your rankings in the manner Google originally intended.
- Provide unique meta data. Ensure every page has a unique TITLE tag and META Description tag. Remember, these two tags appear in search results. Compelling tags will attract clicks regardless of position.
- Be social. Social sharing, from blogs to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter all help brands connect with their audience and can lead visitors back to the website.
- Share. Don't be afraid to link out from your site to a third party site if the content is valuable and useful to your audience. Links out are as much a part of a normal organic link profile as links in to your site.
- BONUS TIP: Keep it fresh. Outdated, inaccurate content is of no use to anyone. Re-evaluate your content periodically and update or remove content that is no longer valid.

Lately I've been finding it hard to focus on my work and my biz and I couldn't understand why. In previous FB posts and blogs I touched on the importance of an ergonomic workspace and having a workspace you enjoy. (One of my mantras when I worked in the corporate world was "A happy employee is a productive employee," and then management wouldn't make me take home all the plants on my desk.) Speaking of desk, I added the other half to my desk and doubled the size and it feels great, but it wasn't great enough. I have an adorable loft for my home office and a window that looks out onto a tree with squirrels and birds. I have a comfy setup with a lot of room and lots of natural sunlight. But I still couldn't focus. Whatever was the problem? Whatever was hanging over my head? After some soul searching and some wine, I realized how much I missed my good wine opener. Then it hit me.
It was my storage unit.
I have been renting a 10 x 20 storage unit stuffed to the gills with stuff and junk, gewgaws and gimcracks, knick knacks and kadodies. I would get stuff, put it in a box, put the box in storage, and decide to get to it another day. Well, that day had finally come. Last week I spent the whole week offline so I could empty my storage unit. I went through every single box and pulled out what I wanted, set aside what I was selling, and re-boxed the few items I kept. I had movie posters dating back to my first job in a movie theater in 1988. I had toys and keepsakes from my childhood along with EVERY SINGLE BIRTHDAY CARD I WAS EVER GIVEN. And did I mention the Christmas decorations. Yeah. 17 boxes. Why? How? I have no answers other than I always planned to get to it someday. (I told my friends that if I ever go off the deep end I would probably end up a hoarder and the only reason I am not a hoarder now is because I get sick of it and get rid of it and hoarders don't.) And somewhere in the storage unit was one box with my good wine opener in it. I had to find it because I missed it and would definitely be using it if only I had it. The wine opener was the impetus for my desire to organize the storage unit. It was long, hard, and dirty work but it sure had to be done. I was exhausted and grimy at the end of the week. Then I held a massive garage sale in my brother's driveway (he's a good guy) and what didn't sell was carted off to charity. And you know what? I feel great. As I boxed up items to sell I would look at them and remember why I bought them. I used them, I enjoyed them, but now I have no room for them and I'm not using them anymore. So why keep them? I guess that's good advice for anything in our lives.
And I find I can focus in my lovely little loft. I have gotten rid of the millstone around my neck and purged myself of the stuff, junk, crap, garbage, quality used merchandise, pick the adjective of your choice. When I worked in the corporate world I would go through my cube and clean it out every so often. I would change the pictures on my cube walls, I would eliminate paper by scanning important documents, I would reorganize and rearrange my workstation so it felt fresh and new. And it made me feel better to be in a fresh, new environment even though I was still sitting in the same cube. (And having houseplants helped a lot.) I guess the purpose of this blog entry is that sometimes in order to feel productive and free we need to get rid of the chaos we can't even see. Hiding a lifetime of stuff behind the door of a storage unit doesn't make it go away. Chaos is chaos and it must be returned to order so that you can focus.
I would also like to clarify that I shared the storage unit with my parents. Now that 90% of my stuff is out, my brother's stuff is in, his friend's stuff is in, and my friend's stuff is in. See what I did there? I made myself feel better by getting rid of tons of stuff I wasn't using and made it possible for 3 other people to store items. This is good in so many ways. So goooooooooood!
Epilogue: My brother was talking about the stupidity of the saying, "It's always the last place you look". His rationale, and it's a good one, is that if you find what you are looking for you do not keep looking for it and therefore it is always the last place you look. I said that maybe it was more like "It's always the last place you think to look". So every single thing came out of the unit and what went back in did so in an orderly fashion. But I still could not find my wine opener and I had been through all of my boxes. At the very front of the storage unit is a big rolling rack with all my Dad's train sets. I asked my brother if we were 100% sure that all those boxes were trains and he said no. So I pulled those boxes off and looked in them and sure enough, they were trains. On the top shelf of the rack in the corner facing the door of the unit was one last box. I pulled it off and what was in there? My good wine opener. The box was in the front of the unit facing the door and within reach the whole time. I said to my brother that this is what that expression means. It literally was the last place I could look. He asked if I had found it earlier, would I have cleaned out the storage unit? I said no. Now how about that?

Historically, the daily use of nettles have been essential to numerous cultures from around the globe – both topically and internally. This can be traced back to the earlist know documentations of human writings. The ancient and American Indians, Greek, Romans and other armies used nettles (Urtica diocia) extensively; not only as a food source, but also for much of their medicinal needs.
Throughout time, civilizations have taken advantage of nettles by flailing the skin with the growing plant – a process know as "Urtication". Urtication has been known to eliminate or reduce pain associated with inflamed joints, muscles, arthritis, gout, wounds and much more. TRY IT NOW, YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT!
Today, the use of the common nettle plant (Urtica dioica) continues as a painkiller and a diuretic to treat swelling, aches and discomforts.*
In Europe, it was used as a spring tonic, a treatment for scurvy, as a diuretic, and a treatment for joint pain. Nettle is rich in Vitamin C and the antioxidants beta-carotene and vitamin E. It is also high in chlorophyll, iron, potassium, magnesium, chromium, and zinc.
Other possible health benefits for nettle include anti-inflammatory effects, relief of benign prostatic hyperplasia and urinary tract infections, and the lowering of blood pressure and blood sugar. Nettle tea also has a mild laxative effect, which could be useful for the treatment of constipation.
The stinging sensation of the leaf hairs is caused by several plant chemicals including formic acid, histamine, serotonin, and choline. In addition to these chemicals, nettle leaf is rich in minerals, chlorophyll, amino acids, lecithin, carotenoids, flavonoids, sterols, tannins and vitamins. Other chemicals (flavonoids in the leaves and a lectin in the root) have been documented with interesting immune stimulant actions in preliminary research which led researchers to suggest that the lectin might be useful in the treatment of systemic lupus.
Nettle's main plant chemicals include: acetophenone, acetylcholine, agglutinins, alkaloids, astragalin, butyric acid, caffeic acids, carbonic acid, chlorogenic acid, chlorophyll, choline, coumaric acid, folacin, formic acid, friedelins, histamine, kaempherols, koproporphyrin, lectins, lecithin, lignans, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, neoolivil, palmitic acid, pantothenic acid, quercetin, quinic acid, scopoletin, secoisolariciresinol, serotonin, sitosterols, stigmasterol, succinic acid, terpenes, violaxanthin, and xanthophylls.
Nettle's long-standing use as an anti-inflammatory aid for rheumatism and arthritis has been confirmed with clinical research. In several clinical studies (including a randomized double-blind placebo trial) nettle leaf extracts were documented with anti-inflammatory actions as well as to be beneficial (and better than placebo) at relieving arthritis pain and inflammation in humans. Research suggests that nettle's anti-inflammatory actions are attributed to its ability to interrupt the production and actions of inflammation-producing immune cells in the body (cytokines, prostaglandins and leukotreines). Another randomized double-blind study was performed on nettle in 1990 which confirmed its traditional uses for allergies and rhinitis (a common inflammatory disorder causing sneezing, nasal congestion and discharge and itchy skin and often triggered by allergies). In this study with 69 patients, nettle extract again rated higher than placebo: 58% reported it relieved most all their symptoms and 48% stated it was more effective than other over-the-counter medications. It was still being confirmed as a beneficial treatment for rhinitis 10 years later when researchers then suggested the same sort of inflammatory immune cell suppression was responsible for the documented effects.
Other recent animal studies with rats (in 2000 and 2002) reported that water extracts of nettle lowered blood pressure, reduced heart rate, and had notable diuretic actions. One of the studies reported that a nettle root extract performed better than the control drug they used (furosemide) at reducing blood pressure, increasing urine output, and increasing sodium excretion. Earlier studies reported nettle had no effect on blood pressure in rats but demonstrated a notable hypotensive effect in cats. It was also shown to have an pain-relieving effect in mice, a sedative effect in rats and mice, as well as to inhibit drug-induced convulsions and lower the body temperature of rats.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
A higher and therefore harder flex index promises more direct power transmission, whereas a lower and softer index promises greater comfort.
Atomic strives to provide every skier with precisely the ski they need - specifically tailoring the flex line and flex, materials and characteristics to the skier's individual level of ability. So honesty is crucial when it comes to assessing your performance level:Have you just started skiing, and are you looking for a ski which can help you make rapid progress while skiing at a moderate pace (beginner)?Are you confident on easy to medium-difficulty descents on the piste or on unchallenging terrain, can you master simple tricks over small obstacles (advanced)?Do you like to tackle tough descents on steep, icy or heavily snow-covered terrain or challenging Park and Pipe maneuvers (ambitious)?Or do you have several years' experience at competition level and are you capable of mastering any challenging terrain at any speed (expert)?
Atomic Waymaker Tour 110 on huippu touringkenkämme, joka antaa sinulle täydellisen itsenäisyyden nousta minne haluat, laskea missä haluat.
Waymaker Tour is our premium touring boot that climbs as well as it skis. It has our Free/Lock System that lengthens your stride and makes walking all natural. A Pebax shell to make it really light. And a Carbon Spine for awesome power transmission downhill. This year we've also improved the liner fit, added a new power strap, plus a Touring Lock Buckle you can undo when climbing without it rattling around your legs.

Delph will reportedly lose his leadership position as the Senate's Assistant Majority Floor Leader of Communications, along with his title as ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and his press secretary. He will also be re-assigned to a new seat in the Senate chamber. Delph criticized fellow Republicans last week for not restoring the controversial second sentence that would have banned civil unions.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rio!
Facts about Rio
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Rio's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Rio # 574 is a 7-year-old lovable Chihuahua mix. This calm and reserved boy is friendly, sweet and a great lap dog. He is crate trained and good with cats. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption form, downloadable from our website: http://www.lastchanceanimalrescue.org/adoptus.html and return it per instructions. Email email@example.com with questions.
Other Pets at Last Chance Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rio, a Waldorf Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Waldorf, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Waldorf.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Waldorf already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Waldorf breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Waldorf paves the way for another one to be saved.

Once famous as the prosperous hub of automobile manufacturing in the US, Detroit is now far better known for its precipitous fall into dilapidated ruin. Nothing makes that more apparent than a look back through Googles recently released Street View "time machine" feature. Here we can cruise the streets of Motor City in years past, marveling at how alarmingly quick the city has crumbled. [Read more…]
A Detroit High School, Then and Now
No other American city has been quite so effected by boom and bust as Detroit. A once bustling metropolis famous for being the production hub of the US auto industry, the city is perhaps most famous now for its blocks of abandoned buildings, massive crime and general distopian atmosphere. Detroiturbex is a website dedicated to raising "awareness of the social and economic challenges the city of Detroit faces through photography." Here they've created a shocking series of photographs inside the now demolished Lewis Cass Technical High School, overlaying old photographs over the new. The contrast – from just a few years ago in many cases – is shocking. [Read more…]
Quadcopter Captures the Essence of Detroit
When we hear about Detroit in the media, it's about the deterioration of the city that was once a key player in "the American Dream." The city that once created thousands of jobs with its thriving automobile industry has lost many of those positions to the factories overseas. Now when Detroit is mentioned, we hear mostly about the foreclosures and the violence. Set to the soundtrack of Ruby Frost & Mt. Eden's "Oh That I Had," this video shows this and another side of the Motor City. Shot with a GoPro on a Scarab QUAD X Stealth-FPV Reconn – ARF Electronica – Quadcopter, it shows the desolation as the view dives in and out of abandoned factories and buildings, yet it also gives a sense of hope with the verdant natural beauty and the resilient skyline.

The Defensive Duo

When it comes to doing work in the defensive zone, Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel has turned to primarily two players: Tanner Glass and Jim Slater.
One-Goal Games

When They Think and Skate at the Same Time, the Jets Are Pretty Good

Why Would Anyone Trust Bob Murray?

December 01 2011 03:57PM
The response to Anaheim's firing of Randy Carlyle has been barely contained glee in many quarters. Over at SBNation's blog Anaheim Calling, the news was inititally celebrated with an ALL CAPS POST. Puck Daddy's Greg Wyshynski called the decision to swap Carlyle for Bruce Boudreau (fired on Monday by the Washington Capitals) a "genius move." Helene Elliott opined that the Ducks had tuned Carlyle out.
However good the reasons may have been for firing Randy Carlyle, the decision does not reflect well on Ducks general manager Bob Murray. How so? I'll explain.

Before heading into Friday's contest with the Hurricanes, the Jets had played 21 games, basically the quarter-pole of the 82-game regular season. At 8-9-4 at that point, the Jets need to pick it up if the long-starved fans of the city with the windiest intersection in Canada are to see playoffs as a reality in the Phoenix-like return (Editorial Update: Jets won 3-1 over Carolina to hit .500 on Friday November 25).

Hi all,
I'm in the process of converting existing VBA code to VB.NET using AutoCAD 2010 and MS Visual Studio Professional, and I just hit a major snag.
In AutoCAD 2010, double-clicking a block will display its attributes in the attributes editor; I would like instead to be able to display my own custom vb.net form showing some of the block's attributes, IF AND ONLY IF the block was created by my dot net form (the block would have certain identifiable characters in its name).
So far, I have not been able to find anything to help, but I have discovered that this may have something to do with the cuix customization file, as well as setting the system variable DBLCLICKEDIT.
At this point I am so confused as to how this problem can be resolved. Does anyone have any helpful hints or concise code blocks that might help? Or at the most point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
I think the following article will be interesting for you:
Thanks for the article... It's quite interesting, and will definitely come in handy for later use. For the issue at hand, however, the article describes the use of selection set to identify entities, but I'm looking for information on how to replace the CAD double-click event for blocks with my custom VB.Net form. And this is only for blocks created by said form...
Any ideas? Guidelines? Similar articles?
Thanks in advance
Try this code written some time for double click event on polyline objects,
just change object type to double click on blockreference within the code

I think you need to store block names you've created from form
in list of string as member of your form,
then compare if this list contains a block name
Thanks, Hallex... Imma try it out right away and see how it goes.
Hmm, perhaps you need to convert this code on VB.NET
let me know...
You're right there... I'm already covnerting to VB.Net. I'm curious to see what would happen when I change the polyline ent to blockref.
I shall let you know once I finish converting and testing.
I deeply appreciate your help.

Thanks for the dot net conversion... The code seems to be flawless and makes perfect sense. However, after I implemented it into my existing namespace and executed the code by typing the command; but it doesn't seem to have the desired effect, 'cos I doubleclick on a block created by my form, and the EATTEDIT command still runs, popping up the block's attributes.
Isn't the code supposed to overwrite this behavior by now?
Oops, sorry I didn't test this code from form
if your form is modeless maybe you could use
Editor.StartUserInteraction(Me), I haven't have a time
on this work...
