You all were so willing to post your helpful suggestions. I have learned so much from all of you , and finally made my first really nice wrapper. This is indeed the best Forum site on the NET. I so enjoy my computer and all the fun things one can do with it. This site has given me so many great ideas and friends!! A BIG HUG AND SMILE
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks to you too, Nebgranny! We all learn from each other. I'm glad that your wrapper turned out and would love to see it! My friends here at home all think that I'm the most creative talented person! LOL I always tell them that I just happen to have creative talented friends that help me out!! So a BIG THANKS to everyone here at the forums that help me look good!! (S) |
I am so glad that you are making those wrappers now! Make a few more changing the graphics, colors, etc so you won't forget all you've learned! Then SAVE SAVE SAVE your designs! Soon as Christmas is over, it is time to start designing valentines wrappers! My latest project: The little candy M'M's in the little tubes. I am going to decorate the tubes with personalized Christmas designs on them--should be great in stockings or as favors at our company Christmas Dinner! This site is great because of all the sharing from wonderful people like you and everyone else here! |

Hi Nebgranny, I'm so glad that you got the candy wrappers to work. After I suggested using WordPerfect you wrote back and asked about Microsoft Works. I tried and tried to make Works work so I could write back, but unfortunately that is not nearly as user-friendly to me. I love WordPerfect and Printmaster Platinum. I would love to see the wrappers that you have designed. What occasion are you making them for? Isn't this a wonderful, friendly, helpful sight? I love it and all of you nice folks! |

This week's episode is different from the usual fare. The thread holding this together is: "Authors You Didn't Hear at ALA Annual 2008". Authors David Weber and Piers Anthony were interviewed this week. Interviews ranged from talking about their works to how they view libraries to the future of books. The interview with David Weber is being presented in two parts with the remaining portion to air on a future episode. Both authors raised unique points when it comes to determining authorial intent relative to exposing children to their own works that might be otherwise objectionable.
A link is presented below for the Baen Free Library. That site is one where there are complete works available for reading without digital rights management software issues. Works by David Weber and others appear in that collection.

Let's be honest: the third row of seats in the Acura MDX is laughable. There is virtually no leg- or headroom, relegating these seats for use only by small children or extremely flexible adults. And with the third row raised, cargo room also is diminished quite a lot. Put that concern aside, and the MDX is a great vehicle. It drives much like smaller Acuras, with sporty handling and an excellent V-6 engine. I'm even a fan of the angular, creased exterior design.
My lone criticism would have to be the steering, which at low speeds is very heavy and very slow. When parking or driving at low speeds in town, I felt like I had to expend considerable effort and turn the wheel lot to maneuver. That sensation might be fine in a sports car, but I expect a luxury SUV to be easier to drive.
Jake Holmes, Associate Web Editor
The MDX has long been one of my favorite large luxury crossovers, and it continues to be. Why? Because by and large, it doesn't really drive like one. Despite the fact it shares its platform with the dowdy Honda Pilot and weighs nearly 4600 pounds, the MDX drives like a much smaller, much sportier vehicle. Adaptive dampers at all four corners certainly help, but so does the SH-AWD system, which employs a torque-vectoring rear differential to improve turn-in and cornering speeds.
Like Jake, I am not that fond of the MDX's power steering-it feels surprisingly heavy around town, but it's artificially light and perhaps too quick at higher speeds. Furthermore, it's numb and devoid of feedback, making placing the MDX a bit tricky in tight corners.
It'll be interesting to see if this sporting character carries through to the next-generation MDX, which is due within the next couple years. Acura's small RDX was stripped of its enthusiast-oriented driveline for the 2013 model year in an attempt to find a larger customer base. Seeing as the MDX remains one of Acura's best-selling models, I sincerely hope the brand will retain the MDX's personality going forward.
Evan McCausland, Associate Web Editor
If every Acura were as thoughtfully designed and as spirited as the MDX, the brand wouldn't have any trouble competing with the BMWs and Audis of the world. To start, anyone who says it's merely a Honda Pilot with different styling has clearly never driven either vehicle. The Honda is slow and bulky while the Acura is quick and nimble. It's actually one of the more enjoyable crossovers I've driven. And yet unlike some competitors -- BMW X5, I'm look at you -- Acura does not let the sporting pretensions override the MDX's primary role of providing total comfort. The seats are great, the ride is smooth, and the steering, although a bit heavy, isn't anywhere near as meaty the X5's. The interior is ergonomically hard to fault, at least once you learn your way around the infotainment system (a common caveat with new luxury cars). I only wish the materials were a bit better. The large swathes of wood and the low-sheen dash plastics aren't offensive but neither are they inspiring. I'd have appreciated some of the rich leather trim Acura employs in the swoopy ZDX.
David Zenlea, Assistant Editor
The entire Acura brand gets a bad rap from the enthusiast media for its slightly tortured styling and lack of rear-wheel-drive offerings, but it's my opinion that if you actually drive one, they're really great cars. This MDX serves as one telling piece of evidence: it drives better than a BMW X5. The MDX delivers phenomenal handling by way of its sophisticated all-wheel-drive system and high-tech dampers. The driving experience also benefits from a seating position that is much lower than in the BMW X5, giving the driver more confidence in the MDX's cornering ability. While the steering is a touch overboosted and artificial, it is precise and transmits a decent amount of road feel. The six-speed automatic would benefit from rev-matching on full-throttle downshifts but is otherwise well-mannered. I just wish the third row wasn't such an afterthought. There's a good amount of room back there, but until the second row slides and there's an easier way to get to the third row from the driver's side, the MDX is seriously compromised.
Eric Tingwall, Associate Editor
I have a relative who until recently drove a ten-year-old MDX with more than 100,000 miles on it. I say until recently because he was in an accident and totaled the vehicle. That's the bad news. The good new is that the insurance company gave him $15,000 for a ten-year-old, well-used sport-ute with that many miles on it. Not bad, and a testament to the high resale value of the MDX.
This relative didn't end up replacing his MDX with a new one, but if he had, he would not have been disappointed. The MDX doesn't stand out in any one category, but it does everything well. It is surprisingly nimble for a large vehicle and is perfect for a family with two or three kids who might want to bring along a friend for a short trip in the third row. The last row splits and folds flat for those times when carrying cargo is more important than carrying extra passengers.
The center stack has a few too many buttons for my taste, but I like the fact that there are separate controls for the climate, audio, and navigation systems, rather than bunching them together so that you can only operate them using the central controller.
Amy Skogstrom, Managing Editor
The MDX feels scrappy and sporty compared to the rest of its class. It's not the most powerful, for sure, but not for lack of effort on the part of the V-6, which eagerly revs and has a nice induction note. Is there any discernible difference between sport and comfort modes? I'm not sure.
I've always liked the MDX, ever since I first drove the previous one exactly twelve years ago. It's a nice, upmarket alternative to a minivan: prestigious but not too expensive, luxurious but not ostentatious. You could see yourself putting a wet, muddy dog in the back of this thing, whereas you might not do that in an Infiniti.
I could not find the trip odometer to save my life, but finally did, buried into submenus on the steering wheel and center display. Really? BMW has that front and center and it takes approximately 1.3 seconds to find it and reset it.
The MDX has an excellent driving position and good ergonomics, a general feeling of sportiness and chuckability, and comfortable seating save for slightly difficult third-row access. There's a nice balance of sport, utility, luxury. And, of course, Honda reliability is no bad thing. However, the downsides include the aforementioned third-row access; the center stack is a confusing array of buttons and switches; and the fact that Acura isn't a first-tier luxury brand, for those who care about such things.
Joe DeMatio, Deputy Editor
It's easy to see why the MDX has become one of Acura's most popular vehicles: It's sized just right for most families (how often does the average family put full-grown adults in the third row?), offers a good amount of utility, and is sporty and luxurious enough to satisfy the discriminating buyer. Acura may not be considered a top-tier luxury brand, as Joe pointed out, but the MDX is as appealing as many of its top-tier competitors. It's certainly not perfect -- with a busy center console, below average fuel economy, divisive front-end design, and the aforementioned kids-only third row seats -- but if you are looking for an athletic luxury sport-ute with the added benefit of sterling reliability and excellent resale value, it's likely the best all-around choice in its segment.

Judo is loved by all generations. You can see people of all ages from six to over
eighty years, and people of all professions, nationalities and sexes enjoying Judo at the Kodokan.
They all have their own purposes. Some of them want to be strong, some want to be healthy, some want to strengthen their mind, some want to appreciate the pleasant feeling after perspiring, some want to be able to defend themselves, some want to become instructors of Judo, and some are already devoted to training others.
Why is Judo attracting people of all ages and people with so many different purposes?
Carigraph for the Shimo Tomisaka Dojo
(Kodokan Museum)
Prof. Kano created Judo from Jujutsu as the means to learn the great principle of humanity, not only to learn Waza.
He named the training institution "Kodokan". The word "Kodo" means to learn, prove and practice the principle. The fact that Prof. Kano named Judo "Kodokan Judo" shows us how he made much of the principle and made it a principal objective of life to learn.
Prof. Kano himself said that the purpose of Judo is to strengthen body by practicing
attack and defense, to complete the personality by training the mind, and finally to devote oneself to society.
The photograph above is a calligraphy by Prof. Kano, which shows the principle and ideal of Judo: "Maximum-efficiency" and "Mutual welfare and benefit."

What are everyone's favorite gardens to visit in the NJ NY PA area?
One of my favorites is Innisfree Garden in the Hudson Valley. Here's a link: http://www.innisfreegarden.org/ |
Follow-Up Postings:
Being in S.Jersey, I like Winterthur and Longwood Gardens. The Duke Gardens are supposed to be nice, but I know almost nothing about them. I did once visit the small iris garden in Montclair at its best. Rarefind Nursery, in Jackson, maintains a demonstration woodland of many Rhododendrons that is quite spectacular in season. |
I live in southern New Jersey as well and my two regional favorites are Chanticleer and Longwood. Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve is worth a visit especially in April and May when the spring ephemerals including bluebells are in bloom. |
Add the Morris Arboretum in Philly and Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown, NJ. |
Chanticleer is one of my favorites. |

The Indoor Display Gardens created by Doris Duke at Duke Farms in central New Jersey have been a favorite destination for many of us for years. Miss Duke created the Duke Gardens Foundation Inc. and opened the gardens to the public in 1964. Since her death they have been administered by the Trustees of the Foundation. On May 25, 2008, at the discretion of the trustees, these gardens will be closed and their plant collections disbanded. An ongoing slide show of what will be lost can be found at the website shown below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Save Duke Gardens
One of my favorite gardens in this area is, like so many of you, Chanticleer. . .particularly because all manner of dramatic changes are actually encouraged from year to year. But the whole greater Philadelphia area has been dubbed "the epicenter of horticulture in the United States".....and I highly recommend checking out a book titled "A Guide to the Great Gardens of the Philadelphia Region", where-in you'll find extensive details about more than fifty fabulous gardens in that area. So far, I've only been able to cover about half of them, but the depth of the collection just leaves you breathless. . .and feeling mighty lucky to be living right next door. Two little-known, but quite wonderful gardens that I enjoy Then there's New York - and I don't mean the State, but the Move on up the Hudson Valley and it's just one stunning Is it possible to have one favorite garden ???

About 2 weeks ago my almamater Covenant University held its Redefinition Fashion show and i was called in prior to the event to help mentor and train the models as well as handle choreography and styling for the show. Clearly all of these duties could not have been done by me alone so i called up my friends Uju Nwobodoh (top model) , Jide Adedeji (catwalk instructor), Makida Moka (top model), Bubu Ogisi (designer/stylist) and Adebayo Oke-Lawal (designer/stylist) to help me out. The show would not have been an outstanding success in terms of presentation without all of these people. The student population of over 6,000 all trooped to the university chapel, venue of the event to support their mates and have fun. Top Nigerian designers like Mai Atafo, Lanre Da Silva and Uche Nnaji of Ouch attended the show as well.
The following labels all owned and designed by students from the university took part in the spectacular event.
Slys collection
Christian Casual Wears (CCW)
Cyril Bryan
Made Posh
Niquette Armour
Norbert Stone
Frank Benedict
Parah Plus
Bush People
The designers all did their best and as with most things in life there were the good, bad and ugly. Since i was working with the models and communicating with the stylist to ensure things went smoothly i could not take photos of all the labels, apologies to the designers whose work don't get featured on here.
The photos here are of my team and some of the new friends we made.

Press Room
Consumer Protection Fellow Begins Work
Nadine Ballard
The National Attorneys General Training and Research Institute (NAGTRI) and the Center for the State Enforcement of Antitrust and Consumer Protection Laws (State Center) are pleased to welcome Nadine Ballard from the Ohio Attorney General's Office as the second NAGTRI/State Center Consumer Protection fellow this year. Funded by the State Center, the Consumer Protection Fellowship program is designed to provide consumer protection assistant attorneys general an extraordinary opportunity to develop expertise in a specific discipline in consumer protection, which would in turn provide tangible and meaningful assistance to his or her colleagues around the country. The fellow's work can be divided into two major areas: research/publication and information sharing/liaison work. Grant funds will be used to cover housing and related costs for a three-month period. Nadine will be working in the NAAG office until the end of July.
Nadine is excited about the opportunities to attend congressional hearings and hear from national advocacy groups while in Washington. When working for the Ohio Attorney General's Office, she only spends a small amount of time researching and writing about legislative issues.
"It's really a treat to be able to devote all of my time into one project," she said.
She is currently researching and writing a paper that examines the roles of regulatory supervision and enforcement of the new financial regulatory legislation, including the Credit CARD Act of 2009.
"I hope the paper is something that can help support the enforcement role of the state Attorneys General in future consumer protection legislation," Nadine said.
Nadine decided in high school that she wanted to enter the consumer protection field and has dedicated much of her career to working on such issues. Nadine has been with the Ohio Attorney General's Office since February 2007 and served as the section chief in Consumer Protection from February 2007 to May 2009. She also worked there from 1980 to 1985. In addition, Nadine worked for the UAW GM Legal Services Plan for seven years, handling consumer litigation, and then served as a magistrate judge for the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court for 15 years.
She has been teaching consumer law at Sinclair Community College for six years, receiving a national award for Innovation in Distance Learning, and for the Ohio Judicial College for 15 years. Nadine has also co-authored Ohio Consumer Law, a practice manual, since 1986.
Although she is a native of Michigan, Nadine now resides in Dayton, Ohio where she enjoys spending time hiking with her dog, Ellie.
For more information on the NAGTRI/State Center Consumer Protection Fellow program, please contact Dennis Cuevas, NAAG project director and chief counsel, Consumer Protection Project, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

nForce 570 Ultra Test Board
Now it's into the mid-range for nVidia's 500 series chipsets with the MSI K9N Platinum.
The layout of the K9N Platinum is almost identical to the K9N SLI Platinum, only very little has changed. The same full sized ATX form factor is used and the placement of the power connectors, IDE and FDD connectors are identical as is the CPU socket area.
The rear I/O is also identical to the K9N SLI, so we won't bother going over this again.
The slots are where the main difference is. To distinguish it from the K9N SLI platinum, the second PCI Express x16 slot is coloured yellow. This is because it does not support SLI; it only runs at x4 speeds. This is for use with multi monitor setups, not SLI. The rest of the expansion slots are identical to the K9N SLI Platinum.
The same VIA Firewire controller chip is also employed to give two Firewire ports.

[1731] High Frequency of Coexpression of Maspin with p63 and p53 in Squamous Cell Carcinoma but Not in Adenocarcinoma of the Lung.
Bonnie Choy, Jennifer J Findeis-Hosey, Faqian Li, Loralee McMahon, Qi Yang, Haodong Xu. University of Rochester Medical Center, NY
Background: Maspin, a member of the serpin family of protease inhibitors, has been shown to inhibit tumor growth and suppress metastasis in several malignancies, including lung cancer. Previous studies have reported that p63 and p53 control maspin expression by transactivating its promoter. The aim of this study was to determine if maspin expression is correlated with p63 and p53 in squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the lung.
Design: Tissue microarrays of lung adenocarcinoma (n=161) and squamous carcinoma (n=86) were generated. Immunohistochemical studies were performed using antibodies against maspin, p63, and p53. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic staining for maspin and nuclear staining for p63 and p53 were considered positive and the percentage of positively stained cells was recorded. Concordance was considered if both maspin and p63 or p53 were expressed in the same tumor. The immunostaining intensity was graded as weak, moderate, or strong. The case with >5% of stained tumor cells was considered positive. A p value of <0.05, as determined by Fisher's exact test, was considered statistically significant.
Results: Immunohistochemical studies showed that maspin, p63 and p53 were expressed in squamous carcinomas of the lung with a majority of cases exhibiting strong positivity and the frequencies of their staining were 83/86 (96.5%) for maspin, 79/86 (91.9%) for p63 and 77/86 (89.5%) for p53. Adenocarinomas of the lung showed more variable intensity and much lower positivity for these markers than squamous carcinomas with 82/161 (50.9%) for maspin, 16/161 (9.9%) for p63 and 99/161 (61.5%) for p53. These differences were statistically significant with p<0.01 for maspin, p<0.01 for p63 and p<0.01 for p53. The frequency of concordance between maspin and p63 was 78/86 (90.7%) and 8/161 (5.0%) in squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the lung, respectively; the frequency of concordance between maspin and p53 was 75/86 (87.2%) and 62/161 (38.5%) in squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the lung, respectively. The concordance rates between maspin and p63 or p53 in squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma were significantly different (p<0.01).
Conclusions: Maspin, p63 and p53 are highly expressed in squamous carcinoma of the lung and expression concordance between maspin and p63 or p53 is much higher in squamous carcinoma, but not in adenocarcinoma of the lung. These findings indicate that both p63 and p53 may control maspin expression in squamous carcinoma, but not in adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Michael Pollan said it best in his book "The Omnivore's Dilemma". He said that each and every day we make a choice on what to eat and that choice has a greater environmental impact then we think. For some there is no thought of where the food comes from just who is preparing it for consumption. Pollan was pointing out that the "Where the food came from" question is not present in the day to day normal cognitive process of deciding what to eat.
As a nation of eaters most of us don't realize that the food choices we make affect our environment. We have been so far removed from the making of our food that we have no idea what goes in it. Not only has this been perpetrated by the IFC but it was done specially to avoid the kind of scrutiny that the local farm movement is generating.
If we don't see that beef processing companies import beef from other countries to make our hamburgers how can we make a value judgment at purchase time. I'll bet you think that when you buy a hamburger, that it comes from a cow that at least lived in North America. That is not necessarily the case as has been recently pointed out in a lawsuit against a big meat packer.
No thought is given that the beef patty sitting on the bun before us has a relationship to the raised hormone levels in the water table and estrogen levels in male bass. But at its base that is what our choice to eat comes down to. Every day we decide to further the cause of local sustainable agriculture or benefit the Industrial Food Complex.
On one hand you have the small independent farmer that is trying to squeeze out a living by carefully tending the land and their animals for social, environmental, economic and human sustainability. On the other side is the vast IFC with ever increasing ways of chemically altering food, milk and juices for the sole purpose of producing these products in the least expensive way to gain the most profit. That in it of itself isn't bad, but it is the consistent failures resulting in illnesses, death and environmental degradation that make their practices deplorable.
That is how in the past most robber-barons made their huge fortunes. They took advantage of the less fortunate, less intelligent and in some cases just destroyed everything a person owned for their own personal gain. The cost to and negative impact on people and the environment does not matter. I mean the moniker says it all "robber-barons". Food is one of the last great resources to be raped and pillaged so a few of our elite can make their personal fortunes greater.
You have a choice; you can make a difference globally by being just one person acting locally. It is happening now and has been happening slowly for at least the last twenty years. Those that are on the front lines see the progress. A couple of years ago, California registered the first increase in agriculture land in their State; stopping a decline that lasted decades. It is growing to such a point that the USDA is starting to take interest in the numbers.
The USDA recently sent out a mandatory census that looked at detail level data on growing and production and they are starting to offer incentives to help promote the local farm movement. Seven years ago I never heard of financial assistance for organic growers and or vegetable growers in general. It was usually just aimed at grains, water conservation, and nutrient management. These past two years I've seen two programs to help local vegetable farms.
Things are changing but you the individual is needed to participate. Barbara Kingsolver, in her book "Animal, Vegetable Miracle" wrote about the year she and her family spent eating seasonal, local foods. In it, not only did she highlight the adjustment to seasonality of foods but also to the plight of the local farm.
So the choice is ours to make. Do you want an open food source where you know where your food came from and can go to the source or do you want what is going on now? Recent news stories recounted the poisoning of a female who ate bad beef. Now that the court case has gone public the manufacturer had to divulge that the meat that made up this ground beef came from animal parts from two different countries, neither being America. If this isn't an example of the IFC buying junk to put into the food supply to make a profit then I'm at a loss.
But it is us, you, me, and everyone that has a stake in this fight for healthy food. Never before have so many people been part of the same group that has the opportunity to be part of a grass roots effort. We All Eat. We can really make a change to affect our future and truly make a difference in the history of man. I am talking about the safety of food and the preservation of our ecology. We might like different things but we all eat. If you just chose local once a day over the IFC imagine the change we could all affect. I'm not saying that everything consumed should be local but if a lot of our choices are for local foods then the IFC's will take notice and act accordingly. Of course we could have an outcome like free range chickens (see. Beware of Free Range) but I hold out hope for a better result.
It is just one choice made multiple times each day. As an individual you can choose whether to promote the IFC and all the damage being done to the environment (think feminized bass) or you can choose to support your local community, local families, local businesses and your local food producers. The money you spend at the farm gets spent in the community by the farmer. The money stays in a local bank; and is used to hire local labor be it skilled or general and used to purchase supplies from local businesses.
It is your choice, start slowly make a resolution to eat at least one local meal a day. We are not asking for you to be like Barbara Kingsolver, but to give serious thought about your children's, grand-children's and great-grandchildren's health and the environment we will leave them.
Choose to make sure the future generations grow up in the least toxic setting possible. Become aware of how the IFC is poisoning us and the environment for their short term profit. If that doesn't get you motivated to support your local sustainable farm we will all fail our future generations.
Buy Local-From a farmer you know and trust, not a chain selling the concept

Contrary to the initial fears that a Volkswagen-owned Porsche would be reduced to selling rebadged VWs and Audis (a fear somewhat realized in the upcoming Cajun), it now seems Porsche has moved to the top of VW Group's engineering food chain. In addition to sports cars, it will also engineer the basic components for a wide range of full-size cars, including the 2016 Audi A8.
The integration of Porsche and Suzuki makes a very good starting point for the overdue revision of Volkswagen Group's brand structure, which currently consists of three bundles packed more or less at random: VW/Bentley/Bugatti/Skoda, Audi/Seat/Lamborghini, and Scania/MAN. In the future, we can expect the brands to be grouped by the sort of architecture they use, with each of the major brands (VW, Audi, Porsche) in charge of developing that architecture. VW, for instance, will create the architecture for front-wheel-drive (transverse-engine) cars, whereas Audi will build an architecture for its lineup of sedans that feature a longitudinally placed engine.
The big winner, though, is Porsche. Not only has it scored development of most of VW Group's sports cars, but it will also be engineering the architecture for the following large sedans:
- Panamera replacement, Panamera derivatives, long-wheelbase Panamera (2011)
- Bentley Continental GT, GTC, and Flying Spur replacements, other versions (2014)
- Next-generation Bentley Mulsanne/Azure/Brooklands
- Full-size Lamborghini coupé/sedan (2017)
- New "small" Bentley positioned below Conti GT family, including derivatives (2015)
- Audi A8 replacement, Audi A9 coupe and convertible (2016)
- Bugatti Galibier, next VW Phaeton (unless VW chooses to derive this model from the Audi A7)

When producers of "This Old House" needed a history lesson, they turned to Naperville resident Dennis Cremin, professor of history at Lewis University. Cremin, a renowned Chicago history expert, author and director of the university's History Center, was called on for a new television series, "Hidden History in your House," which airs at 9 tonight on the H2 Channel.
The new series features "This Old House" host Kevin O'Connor, who is on a mission to "deconstruct the American home to reveal the hidden history inside."
Cremin said it was really exciting to work with a team of seasoned professionals and was thrilled to be included as one of the show's history experts.
"I met with them in Chicago in January, and then in April they flew me out to their production area in Concord, Massachusetts," Cremin said. "The program is fast paced and full of interesting information."

Senior tribute
'Happy' at Naperville North
They are truly happy at Naperville North, and this proves it.
In celebration of graduation, the Huskies created a lip dub featuring graduates, current students, teachers and faculty members singing along to Pharrell Williams toe-tapping song "Happy."
"We are thrilled to have another video that shows off our school pride and amazing students at Naperville North High School," said Jennifer Baumgartner, dean of student activities. "The video also features landmarks in our community, which has been a great part of our seniors' lives outside of school. We truly are 'Happy' in Naperville."
The video was directed by Tobey Sanford and Mark Skarr along with film director Zach Scott. And there's even more to be happy about. The video was made in support of the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund.

Hydrate or Die
New drinking fountain at Knoch Park
If you've ever been parched at Knoch Park and couldn't find a drinking fountain, you will find one now.
The Naperville Noon Lions Club and Foundation recently donated a drinking fountain for use in the park.
The Naperville Park District will host a brief ceremony at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, May 31, at the park, 724 S. West St., to thank the group for the donation. The drinking fountain is just northwest of the Barn Recreation Center's west parking lot.
"Knoch Park is one of the most heavily used parks in our community," Executive Director Ray McGury said. "We are grateful to the Naperville Noon Lions for their enthusiasm in providing a drinking fountain at this central location."
The Naperville Park District completed extensive renovations last fall at Knoch Park, including renovating the tennis courts and adding ADA accessible concrete collars to the ball fields, new ballfield fencing on two of the fields, a new multi-use trail, a new crosswalk across Martin Avenue, irrigation lines to help maintain the fields, and the new drinking fountain.
"The Naperville Noon Lions are glad to be able to help with the improvements at Knoch Park," said Lions Club President Gary Vician. "Partnering with the Park District is another way for Lions to promote a healthy lifestyle."
Beating MS
Author trades wheelchair for bicycle
"Demented and bedridden," that's what Dr. Terry Wahls expected she would become after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000. Since then, Wahls has traveled the world, researched autoimmune conditions and written a book about her radical treatment plan, which she will discuss June 5 at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville.
Wahls will explore sections of her book, "The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine," which focuses on nutritional, physical and mental changes she used to overcome debilitating MS symptoms. Before she created her own holistic treatment plan, Wahls worried that MS would take everything.
Three years after being diagnosed with MS, Wahls was in a tilt-recline wheelchair, the kind made for people who might never walk again. She tried medication, she tried surgery — but she didn't begin to recover until she discovered the root of her symptoms.
"Environmental factors — food, toxins, activity level," Wahls said. "These are responsible for 95 percent of chronic illness."
Wahls' book follows her personal story, examining the dietary and other lifestyle changes that form her treatment plan — a plan that allowed Wahls to trade her wheelchair for a bicycle.
"This is a very basic, powerful way of restoring health," Wahls said. "It's a way for people to get their lives back."
The discussion begins at 7 p.m. at 123 W. Jefferson Ave.
Ready to ride
Brandon Marshall here to help others
Brandon Marshall is busy on more than just the football field these days. Saturday he will be on hand for a motorcycle ride that will help those suffering from mental health issues.
The Brandon Marshall Mental Health Awareness Ride will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 31, at the Linden Oaks Outpatient Center, 1335 N. Mill St. in Naperville. It begins with motorcycle registration and comments from Marshall, NFL Pro Bowl wide receiver with the Chicago Bears, and his wife, Michi.
Brandon, Michi and the bikers will hit the road at 9 a.m. for a trip of more than 50 miles through Aurora, Oswego and Yorkville, ending at the Starved Rock Harley-Davidson dealership, 750 Centennial Drive, Ottawa, where activities will include entertainment, a cookout, raffles and prizes.
The cost to have a motorcycle in the ride is $20 and includes lunch and a commemorative pin. Passenger registration is $10 and includes lunch. To register, visit www.starvedrockhd.com/brandonmarshallride.
Legends of golf
Rub elbows with celebrities for good cause
Golf legend Lee Trevino and CBS Sports analyst Gary McCord are the marquee names at the 20th annual President's Invitational Golf Outing hosted by Benedictine University on Monday, July 28, at Cantigny Golf in Wheaton.
The event provides an opportunity for area golfers to rub elbows with some of golf's greatest and play a championship course — all while contributing to a good cause. Proceeds from the event help provide scholarships for Benedictine students.
Registration and breakfast begin at 8 a.m. Golf begins at 10 a.m. sharp. Cocktails and photos begin at 4 p.m., followed by the program at 6 p.m. where McCord will interview Trevino and share stories of their time on the PGA Tour and the world of golf.
In a little more than four decades, Trevino has earned the reputation as one of golf's all-time greatest and most popular performers. McCord, on the other hand, is well known for enduring 422 tournaments without a single win throughout his 23-year career on the PGA Tour. A man of good humor, he boasted a "NO WINS" license plate for years to poke fun at his own less-than-glamorous career as a professional golfer.
The cost for golf and the program is $300 a person ($1,200 a foursome). Sponsorships are available by contacting Deb Smith, director of University Development Events, at 630-829-6080, firstname.lastname@example.com or by visiting ben.edu/golf.

I wouldn't use the term quackery.
There are elements in vegetables and herbs that ARE good for different
elements of the body. All medicine is basically plant based.
Ever heard of homeopathy? The same applies for homeopathic medicine,
use only the glass dropper, never touch the medicine
with the hands, it changes the chemistry and energy of the medicine.
In other cultures herbs and plants are more trusted as medicine than
It all depends on what you have been indoctrinated with, or taught, or
I, for one, am open to all cultural practices of healing. Some are
amazingly effective. Some are more placebos.
The mind-body connection is probably the most important part of
healing in the end.
Don't make fun of what you have not educated yourself about.
Sometimes, if you pay attention or do some research, you
can learn a lot.

Darren Bousman Battles Depression with a 'Carnival'
Features By Scott Beggs on April 25, 2012 | 1 CommentCalling in from a dirty van somewhere in the American south, Darren Bousman speaks with the kind of quiet calm that has seen the heights of horror success and the self-made sweat of passion projects being wrung out in the system. It's half electricity, half exhaustion.
His latest flick 11-11-11 hit DVD yesterday, and watching the film, it's easy to climb inside the writer/director's own struggles with faith and depression. He's a remarkably open filmmaker, sharing his personal feelings (no matter how dark) with his fans, never sparing the emotional details. Fortunately, it's that incredibly candid spirit that comes alive in this conversation.
From the bloodiness of the Bible to why 11-11-11 wasn't his finest hour to the thrills of taking his Devil's Carnival on the road, Bousman is as blunt as they come.

Mar 9th 2011 7:23PM This article is indeed full of bad advice. The BiS lists for all 3 specs are largely different due to the different stats that all of them need. This type of generic "this is your BiS list" that covers all dps specs shows the ineptitude of wow insider these days and largely contributes to the explosion of baddies in the game.
It is really too bad that posts like this and others like it elsewhere (EJ) have driven away one of the death knight's greatest resources almost entirely from the game.

The Queue: Still Alive {WoW}
Oct 20th 2010 7:10PM Developing games like WoW isnt exactly flawless. The more the game expands and gets new material, the harder it becomes to code for it. I believe that one of the main reasons for the choice to revamp all of the game at once for Cata was to help simplify the development cycle. However, doing so is likely much harder than any other patch because of the level of changes done to the game.
When you start working on game development and understand the complicated nature of development, I Would strongly suggest trying to keep the above information in mind and cut them some slack. We all know that Blizzard is well known for releasing some of the most polished and well rounded games in the world. I doubt they would cut corners and do a shoddy job for WoW all while keeping the opposite philosophy for other titles.

Applying SW:P on all the mobs and running around in circles spawning an army of shadow clones to blow up on the trash. It does decent DPS and is the most fun I've had killing trash packs ever in this game.
Clearly someone at Blizzard has been watching their fair share of Naruto.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Rolls Out
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the latest major release from Red Hat, is setting the scene for its server operating systems for the next decade. With a successful 10 years behind them, Red Hat now looks to the Cloud to bring Linux to the heart every IT organization.
In a press conference this week, Paul Cormier, Executive Vice President, Engineering, Red Hat, announced that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 is now available. The reoccurring themes surrounding this release are Scalability, Flexibility, Reliability, Open.
Cormier highlighted and thanked Red Hat's customers and partners, and he emphasized the importance these relationships to Red Hat's future.
According to the company, the future of RHEL 6 includes setting the standard for operating environments for the next decade, driving Linux deeper and broader into every IT organization, eroding the Microsoft Windows server ecosystem, continuing as a high-value alternative to RISC/UNIX, as well as becoming the bellwether foundation for private and public clouds.
Next Jim Totten, General Manager and Vice President, Platform Business Unit, took center stage to go into the details and features of the release. Among the details Totten discussed were the "Facts and Figures" of RHEL 6. Totten pointed out that RHEL 6 is based on the 2.6.32 kernel and will include many features from the 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 kernels.
The RHEL 6 focus will be on optimization for today's I.T. deployments in both scale and security, green I.T. with power management, as well as platform for virtualization and cloud with a host and guest optimization cloud foundation.
During this portion of the press conference, customer and partner videos looked at the benefits RHEL 6 brings to their business. Videos featured testimonials from IBM, Dell, HP, and Partnering with Red Hat videos include: Performance, Reliability, and Scalability; Virtualization and Cloud; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Tim Burke, Vice President of Linux Development, joined Cormier and Totten on stage for the QA portion of the press conference.
More information and details about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 can be found on their website.

Accounting and the Open Campus at Santa Fe Community College, Gainesville, FL By Susan Crosson
In the spring of 1998 the goal was set, the colleges associate of arts degree would be available online by the year 2000. Since then, cohort groups of faculty have been redesigning courses for the Internet using WebCT, web-based student support services have been developed, and The Center for Academic Technologies has been formed to coordinate the colleges Open Campus. The Open Campus at SFCC is thriving. Sixteen courses were offered our first semester in the fall of 1998, with over 200 students enrolling. Spring of 1999s enrollment grew to over 500 students with many more course offerings. The goal of an online AA degree will be met.
Accounting courses that will be online include Financial Accounting and Managerial Accounting. (Floridas community colleges, because of state- mandated common course numbering and course articulation between all state-funded schools, offer these pre-professional prerequisites for upper division admissions with no transfer hassles.) At SFCC, we have chosen to offer Financial Accounting online as a two-course sequence, ACG2001 and ACG2011, which transfers as the three- credit-hour course, ACG2021. The colleges desire for student success and sensitivity to learning not only the accounting content, but also the course technology, prompted this two-course decision. So far, ACG2001 has been offered fall 1998 and spring 1999 while ACG2011 has been offered spring 1999. Managerial Accounting will be offered for the first time, fall semester 1999.
Students who have completed the courses have been pleased about what they have learned and the course delivery method. Their reasons for taking accounting online vary. Most successful completers are working full-time or have hectic travel schedules that make attending on-campus classes difficult. Some are students who are retaking the course. All realized the personal responsibility a distance learning course requires. There is no rest of the class or back of the classroom to hide behind. Each student is personally accountable for every assignment and course exchange. Wonderful students they are!
The assumptions of those who did not complete the course seemed to be their obstacle to success. Many assumed it would be easier, or that the assignment deadlines were not real, or that it would take less time than an on-campus course. Many underestimated their computer and study skills. Even with an orientation module to the course technology before the colleges Add/Drop deadline, many were slow to engage or realize how accountable they were for all course requirements. They assumed they would catch up, most did not.
Has being involved in distance learning of accounting been worth it as a faculty member? Yes. The learning resources now available online or that I have developed, have made teaching more enjoyable for me both on campus and online. Students have many more ways to master accounting and they can access help 24 hours a day. Like my students, I have become more accountable for what I do in my courses because my methodology of teaching is out there for all those who are interested to see.

Historically, municipal bonds have not generated national headlines, but the fiscal problems facing many state and local governments have led to newsworthy concerns about the future of these securities. As a result, by February 2011, investors had pulled nearly $40 billion from municipal bond funds—the largest exodus from such funds in decades, according to the Investment Company Institute. But were investors exiting an investment class that truly had taken a turn for the worse?
Before you decide whether municipal bonds still have a place in your own portfolio, it's worth taking a closer look at the asset class: specifically, how the features of municipal bonds and whether their benefits—such as the potential for tax-exempt income—merit consideration in the current environment. These investments can still play a role in a long-term investment strategy, as long as the risks associated with the bonds you own are aligned with your own risk tolerance.
Municipal bonds are debt obligations issued by cities, counties, states and other government entities. Often called "muni bonds," they are used to fund projects that are considered by the municipality to be beneficial to the public good.
In exchange for funding public projects and services, investors in municipal bonds receive a benefit: The interest paid on municipal bonds is generally exempt from federal income taxes. Moreover, interest paid to investors who purchase a bond issued by a municipal entity located within their home state is typically exempt from state income tax, and interest paid on some bonds (called triple-tax-free bonds) is even exempt from local taxes.
Behind the Headlines
Should you choose to access the municipal market, it is important for you to know what you own, and ensure that what you own is in line with your tolerance for risk. Just as important: understanding that the municipal bond market is extremely broad and diverse, frequently defying broad generalizations.
For example, some municipal issuers may be strapped for cash while others are in good financial health. While a project funded by one bond issue may fail to generate sufficient revenues, leaving it unable to pay interest on its debt, another project funded by a different bond issue in the same city may have no difficulty generating abundant revenues.
Furthermore, the municipal market has changed dramatically in the past few years, due to a significant decrease in the use of insurance by municipal issuers (following the credit crisis of 2008/2009) and a growing presence of 'non-traditional' municipal bonds. You should be aware that all muni bonds are not created equal. Be sure that you understand all of the material terms and features of any municipal bond before you invest, including the issuer/obligor of the bond, sources of revenue, and creditworthiness of the entity backing the bond.
Know Your Investments
Now more than ever, you need to understand a municipal bond's credit quality and the process by which it generates income. Most issuers are graded by credit rating agencies such as Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings. Each agency has a different grading system, but AAA is typically the highest rating. Lower ratings indicate that the rating agency has assessed that there is incrementally greater risk of potential default. As a result, investors can begin the process of assessing municipal bonds by filtering out bonds with ratings they deem too risky.
You should be aware that insured bonds are typically assigned the higher of either the issuer's or the insurer's credit rating. In the case of an insured bond, be sure to review the rating of the issuer, which may be lower. Also keep in mind that you should not rely solely on ratings, as they are only one of several factors to consider when evaluating an investment.
Rather than shunning this asset class altogether, investors who can benefit from tax-exempt income should work with their Financial Advisor to determine whether certain specific municipal bonds or bond funds may be suitable for them and, if so, take a closer look at these bonds or funds as a potential investment.

Introduce Critical Thinking into your observations of media and create a mind stronger and more powerful than any man-made weapon.
Do not be afraid to watch the these entire videos. It is okay to become a Critical Thinker. I am still researching all of the information in these videos and I employ you to do the same. Please do not let your emotions dictate a response that will not allow you to find out the truth even though the truth you find may invoke a great deal of fear.
This video is titled "I Don't Need a Man" WOW! I had to place this video on my site. Thank you ShieldWife for posting to YouTube! This is an amazing video to exercise one's critical thinking abilities. Agree or disagree people think and feel in this manner therefore it warrants some attention.
Sometimes critical thinking can come from the strangest places. Listen to the words and please, do not let your own ego stop your process of Critical Thinking about this video.
The youth around the world are waking up to the brainwashing that is going on, what about you?
The simplest way to end the debates with this video is to eliminate from power the people who are greedy enough to put machines of mindless and heartless warfare in place. Absolutely nothing good will come from the drones and other machine which allow people to conduct mindless warfare from a distance. This is simple psychology and critical thinking. War is a manufacturing of mankind who create enemies of other in order to take what does not belong to them. If proper critical thinking is used then the understanding that whatever man create to destroy another man he will eventually use upon his own peoples. Watch this video and decide for yourself.

This article mainly talks about my average earnings publishing ebooks on places like Amazon for the years 2011 and 2012. I hope this helps others who are still on the fence about writing and publishing your first ebook. If you have any questions, please leave me a comment and I will surely answer you as soon as possible.
How it All Started
My hunt for online cash started in 2007 when I joined the eHow WCP program. Those were the good old days when practically any article shot up to the first pages of Google without little to no effort. Eventually I became a part of Demand Media Studios and earned a substantial monthly amount there as well. Over time, sadly, Demand Media Studios got tough. Titles began to dwindle and so did my earnings. I was still earning a nice income that usually surpassed the $1,100 mark, but nevertheless I was still noticing a steady drop, overall. You see, DMS was my primary source of income, since eHow had closed their WCP program around April 2010, and my AdSense earnings were not that great. As my world was crashing down, my work-at-home lifestyle was threatened. That's when I started to look into other venues… some conventional, others not so conventional. Continue reading »
If you're not familiar with basic ranking methods, it involves researching a popular keyword or phrase, then maximizing the odds that your content would show up among the first results when people search for said keyword. While many people are familiar with this to an extent, it can be difficult to actually pull it off. After all, competition these days is fierce, which means you're not the only person trying to "win" any given keyword.
Today I will talk about maximizing your Amazon ebooks internally within Amazon.com. In other words, I won't go into external keyword research or backlinking of any kind.
Making Money Through Keywords
Once you choose a genre for your ebook, go to Amazon.com and punch in a single letter (character) into the website's search field. This single character must be related to your niche/topic/genre. For example, if your book is related to video games, ensure that your search is ultimately geared toward said subject. You will see a broad list of potential terms show up as suggestions. These phrases are actually popular terms that people use frequently on the site to find what they're looking for. With that information, now go ahead and type a few more letters into the search field to narrow down the list of suggestions.
As a result, you will now notice several popular terms: Write them down, with the first result being the most important. Continue reading »
For anyone who's been following my average monthly amounts (as well as my friends, whose earnings I also post), I simply wanted you to know they have remained around the same. These amounts range from $250 to $400+, depending on the month. As a result, I will keep updating you with income reports as more significant changes occur. Also, the information will be more condensed (our income figures) to help you digest the content more easily.
As always, i'd like to hear about other authors and their stories– whether good or bad.
* How have your ebook journey treated you?
* What have you learned from your publishing experience?
* What works? What doesn't?
Feel free to shoot me an email via the Contact page or simply comment away!
It is no surprise that a book must always contain an excellent cover to deliver a good first impression. When a user browses an ebook store, one thing will immediately grab his attention: The cover art itself and its artistic style. Aside from the book's description, the cover image is worth a thousand words. This is practically publishing 101, and it's something every new publisher should always keep in mind. But guess what? A book's cover doesn't always have to present state-of-the-art graphics or an elaborate style. Even though this seemingly contradicts what I said above, the fact is that a "good" cover image is simply any art style that fits your book. That simple. Whether your book has a beautifully-rendered landscape or simply a dark background with white font, it's considered a masterpiece as long as it effectively delivers the message to the reader.
That said, you have plenty of options for creating a book's cover image easily without having to learn advanced Photoshop techniques or spending tons of cash.
Visit professional photo hosting websites such as Fotolia, iStockPhoto and Dreamstime. You can purchase beautiful pictures with a license to use them on your works for roughly $1.25 a piece. As far as the font goes, you may even use Microsoft Paint depending on the cover image. For example, if you search the aforementioned sites for "Isolated" images, you will find a lot of people/objects on white or dark backgrounds. In such cases, it is perfectly fine to rely on a simplistic font that fits the image properly, including Times New Roman, Arial or other. Continue reading »
This post is a bit of an opinion, rather than a proven fact. Over time, I have published several books under many different categories just to test the waters. While some of them have failed me miserably (or should I say, I failed them) other topics have turned out to be real winners. From my personal experience, these are the hottest categories the Amazon Kindle has to offer:
Recipes: Nowadays, the internet is full of recipe websites. Whether you go to AllRecipes.com or MyRecipes.com, you will surely find exactly what you're looking for to prepare a delicious meal. So why does this niche sell so well on Amazon? Countless authors around the Web can readily tell you that recipes are always a winning market. I also published two recipe books a few months ago and have witnessed some decent sales. Nothing spectacular, but they have consistently brought in some dough despite being over four months old. It seems that people much rather have a recipe in hand while being active in the kitchen, which is something an e-Reader easily provides. It makes perfect sense, as people wouldn't want to run back and forth from the kitchen to the computer in case they forgot an ingredient. Nor do they want to write everything down. Why should they? Continue reading »
March wasn't all that impressive here. Right now, my Nook account earns a minimum amount compared to the 3-digit numbers I consistently see on Amazon. Then again, I haven't published anything new in a while, and that goes for both the KDP and the Pubit platform.
One thing that I always notice is that some books tend to sell more than others. There's a particular ebook that sells several dozen copies on Amazon as well as on the Nook. Likewise, I have some other books that have been a complete failure on both platforms. My guess is that these books' covers or titles are not highly impressive, as they're already in a somewhat successful niche. I'll keep an eye on them and ultimately change their titles and cover image, if need be.
My goal for the next couple of months is to earn at least $100 from the Nook, and finally surpass the $1,000 mark on the Kindle. How are you doing on the Nook as compared to your Amazon sales?
Let's talk awesomeness.
Back in February, my never-ending financially-strapped friend made her first $100 on the Nook, which was roughly a $95 profit from her previous month.
We added about 5 new entries to her Pubit account, which mostly consisted of kitchen-related books (coffee, recipes, etc). To our pleasant surprise, she went from $100 to $185, which is a welcome chunk of change to have on top of her regular Kindle income.
Now, here's our concern. As we keep diversifying, we have temporarily put publishing on hold. As a result, we're expecting to see a similar amount in April on both the Kindle and the Nook platforms. We had been witnessing our earnings increase every single month, and it's been fun. Seeing these earnings stall around the same numbers will be a real shame, but at least we are doing something no one should pass up, and that is diversification.
As stated in previous posts, we hope to resume publishing at full force pretty soon. Best of luck to all with your ebook journey, and I hope 2012 continues to be a successful year for everyone.

And for Popmusicity,
Not heard of her stuff, unfortunately - if it was to be released in Australia, no doubt it would be through an independent label.
Or she could choose to release it independently through iTunes worldwide.

KOCHI: Investigation by a police officer not below the rank of DGP should be ordered into the allegation against opposition leader and former chief minister V S Achuthanandan's son VS Arun Kumar receiving Rs 70 lakh from self-styled godman Santhosh Madhavan for allowing conversion of more than 100 acres of paddy land, demanded a petition filed by Indian Lawyers Congress in the Kerala high court on Wednesday.
The petition filed by advocate V K Raju, general secretary of Indian Lawyers Congress, alleges that an investigation by Vigilance and Anti-corruption Bureau (VACB) that began in September this year hasn't progressed due to the influence exerted by the former chief minister's son.
After his arrest for allegedly raping minor girls, Santhosh Madhavan, who calls himself Amritha Chaithanya and Sree Santhosh Madhava Vidyadhiraja Parama Bhattaraka Swamikal, had complained to the chief minister that Arun Kumar took a bribe of Rs 70 lakh for facilitating conversion of 120 acres of paddy land at Vaikom and had failed to return the money after the bid to convert the land failed. In addition to Arun Kumar, an advocate based at Kochi, Deepthi Prasannan, also took Rs 10 lakh from the godman, the petition alleges.
The petition is based on Santhosh Madhavan's complaint that his arrest is in retaliation to his demand for returning the money when the land conversion bid didn't take off. A vigilance inquiry was ordered against Arun Kumar on September 20 this year based on the godman's complaint.
On November 20 this year, VACB had grilled Arun Kumar for more than three hours following chief minister Oommen Chandy's allegations against him. During the preliminary questioning, the former chief minister's son had denied all the allegations. Chandy had raised around 10 allegations against Arun Kumar, including foreign trips without obtaining government sanction, taking bribe from the sandal mafia, scuttling a CBI probe into the lottery scam and manipulating certificates to get a doctoral degree.
After the UDF came to power, the government had initiated a vigilance inquiry against Arun Kumar in place of the probe by Lok Ayukta based on reference by the LDF government. The vigilance had also questioned Arun Kumar earlier based on the allegations raised by Santhosh Madhavan.
