It takes a few snapping, but then you have a Range Rover Evoque 'designed' by Mrs Beckham. Would you pay more than double for a car because soccer wife/ Posh Spice has something to do with it?
Early this year, at the Beijing auto show was unveiled the special Range Rover Evoque Special Edition by Victoria Beckham. An edition with only 200 copies worldwide. For example, a total of 4 units will be delivered to the Netherlands. Initially, Netherlands had only 3 copies, but apparently there was so much demand that ultimately were approved 4 units... apparently some people have not been affected by the crisis.
This extremely expensive car falls naturally under the new Engineered To Order (ETO) program of Jaguar and Land Rover. And in this case, the Land Rover design team worked closely with fashion designer Spice Girl's Victoria Beckham.
And what makes this car so special? Consider the following:
Manually applied, matte gray paint finish Satin Grey, unique alloy wheels in gloss black, rose gold exterior and interior details, smoothly upholstery, 'vintage style' semi-aniline leather finished with unique hand-stitch. Other features are unique and ultra luxurious mohair mats and micro suede headliner, new interior finishes, including Grand Black Lacquer, textured aluminum and black soft feel paint, custom, four-piece luggage set and hand-stitched leather cover for the manual of the car, signed by Victoria Beckham.
In addition, this four-door Evoque is with just about every conceivable option and under the hood is a 2-liter turbo engine with 240 hp. By comparison, the basic model with the same engine costs 55,100 euros.
From November, the first copies will be supplied. We are curious to know who is the first owner.

Hospital Funding
The provision of medical services in the area is very poor. HELP has been actively providing medical and other equipment to the local hospital in Thirrukovil, which services a large population of Ampara District. The hospital lacks any diagnostics and has very little in the way of medical equipment. We provided the hospital with its first ECG machine in addition to a number of other items that were specifically requested by the medical staff.
The only equipment in the hospital's ICU is an oxygen cylinder and a few basic drugs. We are delighted to have been able to deliver a Graseby 3400 Infusion Pump that was donated to us by Astra Zeneca. Dr Thiagarasah trained 4 nurses to operate it and we understand that a very sick 2 month old child has already benefited from its use. More generally, we have provided a much needed fax machine and a bed for the nurses on call overnight.
Our Trustees discussed the immediate needs of the hospital with one of the two resident doctors at the hospital during a visit in February 2007. A 'shopping list' of requirements was drawn up (see below), which HELP aims to raise funds to fulfil. The total cost is in the region of £5,000: Hospital Shopping List

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 Perkins!
Facts about Perkins
- Breed: Rat Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Perkins's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Perkins was born in June, 2012. He is pupptastic!
We really appreciate your wanting to give a shelter animal a home and encourage you to search for just the right pet.
Head to humanesocietyny.org/adoptions and either email it back to email@example.com, fax it to (212) 752-2803 or bring it in to the Humane Society of New York, 306 East 59 Street (between 1st + 2nd Avenues) New York, NY 10022. Our adoption hours are 7 days a week, 10:30 - 4:00

Other Pets at Humane Society of New York
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Perkins, a New York Rat Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rat Terrier for sale in New York, or seeking a Rat Terrier dog from a breeder in New York.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New York 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 New York 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 Rat Terrier breeders who help with Rat Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New York paves the way for another one to be saved.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 But there won't be any more sadness for those who were suffering. In the past the LORD brought shame on the land of Zebulun. He also brought shame on the land of Naphtali. But in days to come he will honor Galilee, where people from other nations live. He will honor the land along the Mediterranean Sea. And he will honor the territory east of the Jordan River. | 1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan-- |
2 The people who are now living in darkness will see a great light. They are now living in a very dark land. But a light will shine on them. | 2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. |
3 Lord, you will make our nation larger. You will increase their joy. They will show you how glad they are. They will be as glad as people are at harvest time. They will be as glad as soldiers are when they share the things they've taken after a battle. | 3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder. |
4 You set Israel free from Midian long ago. In the same way, you will break the heavy yoke that weighs Israel down. You will break the wooden beams that are on their shoulders. You will break the rods of those who strike them down. | 4 For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. |
5 Every fighting man's boot that is used in battle will be burned up. So will every piece of clothes that is covered with blood. All of them will be thrown into the fire. | 5 Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. |
6 A child will be born to us. A son will be given to us. He will rule over us. And he will be called Wonderful Adviser and Mighty God. He will also be called Father Who Lives Forever and Prince Who Brings Peace. | 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. |
7 The authority of his rule will continue to grow. The peace he brings will never end. He will rule on David's throne and over his kingdom. He will make the kingdom strong and secure. His rule will be based on what is fair and right. It will last forever. The LORD's great love will make sure that happens. He rules over all. | 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. |
8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob's people. He will punish Israel. | 8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob; it will fall on Israel. |
9 All of the people will know about it. Ephraim's people and those who live in Samaria will know about it. Their hearts are very proud. They say, | 9 All the people will know it-- Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria-- who say with pride and arrogance of heart, |
10 "The brick buildings have fallen down. But we will rebuild them with blocks of stone. The fig trees have been chopped down. But we'll plant cedar trees in place of them." | 10 "The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars." |
11 In spite of that, the LORD has made Rezin's enemies stronger. He has stirred up Assyria to fight against Israel. | 11 But the LORD has strengthened Rezin's foes against them and has spurred their enemies on. |
12 Arameans from the east have opened their mouths and swallowed Israel up. So have Philistines from the west. Even then, the LORD is still angry. His hand is still raised against them. | 12 Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west have devoured Israel with open mouth. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. |
13 But his people have not returned to the One who struck them down. They haven't turned for help to the LORD who rules over all. | 13 But the people have not returned to him who struck them, nor have they sought the LORD Almighty. |
14 So he will cut off from Israel heads and tails alike. In a single day he will cut off palm branches and tall grass alike. The palm branches are the people who rule over others. The tall grass is the people who bow down to them. | 14 So the LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day; |
15 The elders and important leaders are the heads. The prophets who teach lies are the tails. | 15 the elders and prominent men are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail. |
16 Those who guide the people of Israel are leading them down the wrong path. So those who follow them aren't on the right road. | 16 Those who guide this people mislead them, and those who are guided are led astray. |
17 The Lord will not be pleased with the young men. He won't take pity on widows and on children whose fathers have died. All of them are ungodly and evil. They say sinful things with their mouths. Even then, the LORD is still angry. His hand is still raised against them. | 17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men, nor will he pity the fatherless and widows, for everyone is ungodly and wicked, every mouth speaks vileness. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. |
18 What is evil burns like a fire. It burns up bushes and thorns. It sets the forest on fire. It sends up a huge column of smoke. | 18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns, it sets the forest thickets ablaze, so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke. |
19 The LORD rules over all. When he gets angry, he will burn up the land. The people will die. Men will eat their brothers. | 19 By the wrath of the LORD Almighty the land will be scorched and the people will be fuel for the fire; no one will spare his brother. |
20 People will eat up everything they can find on their right. But they'll still be hungry. They will eat everything they can find on their left. But they won't be satisfied. So they will eat the dead bodies of their children. | 20 On the right they will devour, but still be hungry; on the left they will eat, but not be satisfied. Each will feed on the flesh of his own offspring: |
21 That's what Manasseh's people will do to Ephraim. And that's what Ephraim's people will do to Manasseh. Together they will turn against Judah. Even then, the LORD is still angry. His hand is still raised against them. | 21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh; together they will turn against Judah. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. |

Agree! But,.. in order to help health, one must also have a good night sleep, it seems, the older we get this can be a problem. Du you have some good advise for a good night sleep? |
Be tired, don't take naps, avoid foods and caffeine in the evenings. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north (My Page) on Tue, Aug 13, 13 at 23:01
Yes, thank you Emma,....I've been doing all of this but can't get a solid 5 to 6 hour sleep. On a good day I get 4 hour straight and that feels so good, then going back to sleep is almost imposible. |
You are lucky if you get 4 hours straight. I get up every 2 hours. My best hours of sleep is from 4 til 8 on good nights. I joke about dying and say, "at least I will get a good night sleep without getting up to .............!" |
yeah health is a lifestyle and diets shouldn't exist.... because yoyo-ing from healthy diet to a unhealthy one is bad. |

Today we are taking a look at a brand new video card from Sapphire. We have been hearing about the Radeon 7790 over the past few weeks and earlier this year AMD said we would see an HD 8000 series towards the end of the year and they would be refreshing their HD 7000 lineup with new chips. The HD 7790 is the first card that is part of this refresh, based on the brand new "Bonaire" 28nm graphics processor. The Bonaire graphics processor is based off of AMD's graphics core next (GCN) architecture and features 896 stream processors. We are looking at Sapphire's version, which is the HD 7790 OC with Dual-X. The Dual-X is for Sapphire's own unique cooling system on the card. This card features a 1075MHz core clock, 1GB of GDDR5 memory and has dual DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort connections. This card is setup to compete directly with Nvidia's GTX 650 Ti. Read on as we take a look…

Here are some of the first photos of the Sapphire HD 7790 Dual-X. This is Sapphire's premium offering based on AMD's new GPU. This dual slot card features Sapphire's in-house PCB and cooler designs. As you can see from the photos the PCB and shroud are both black. The cooler is made up of an aluminum fin stack design, which is ventilated by a pair of 80mm fans. The card is powered by a single 6pin PCIe connector and outputs include a pair of DVI ports, HDMI and DisplayPort.

With NVIDIA's GTX 660 and GTX 560 cards soon to enter the market at the sub $250 segment it is sure going to make things a bit messy, especially with competitive pricing between NVIDIA partners. Expecting these news cards to flow into the marketplace AMD will be dropping prices on their HD 7000 Series cards to make the cards more appealing to the mid-range crowd, who are looking to get the best bang for their buck. The prices are as follows…

AMD's 7000 series is made up of 3 segments. Starting with the flagship 7900 which are the high-end cards. Then we have the 7700 series which has budget gamers in mind. Finally we have the 7800 series which sits right in the middle to hit the sweet spot between cost and performance. The 7800 series has 2 cards the 7850 and the 7870, today we are taking a look at the 7850. Not just any 7850 though, the 7850 Overclocked Edition from Sapphire. This card really makes the sweet spot even sweeter with a factory overclock moving the core up to 920MHz and the memory up to 1250MHz. Sapphire has also added their popular Dual-X cooler for better cooling performance. Read on to see what this card is all about.

AMD's Eyefinity Technology, have you heard of it? I'm sure you have, it's what powers those multi-display setups that you've seen before. These multi-display setups give you massive desktop work-spaces and immersive gaming environments. The thing about getting Eyefinity setup is it can be difficult and confusing, especially if you don't have the right displays off the bat. To make things easier Sapphire has come out with the FleX series of cards. Each FleX card allows you to plug in and run 3 monitors simultaneously from a single card. Today we will be taking a look at their low-cost solution the Radeon HD6450 FleX Edition.

With the recent release of DiRT 3 AMD announced that it would be packing the game with select video cards. Of course Sapphire's Radeon HD 6950 was one of those cards. From a technical standpoint the Radeon HD 6950 is basically the same card as the original card we reviewed back in December, except Sapphire has improved the cooling solution. They have increased the size of the cooling surface, added 5 copper heatpipes, and finally added a second fan. All of this plus the free game makes this the definite choice when it comes to deciding which Radeon HD 6950 to get. Read on to check out our review!
Jun 19, 2011 Bob Buskirk Reviews, Video Cards 3
Today we will be taking a look at a $100 video card that sits between the Barts and Turks chipsets from AMD. This of course fills the gap between the two and makes for a good lower to mid-range card that will get you in to the DirectX 11 game and provide you with some great features. The card I am talking about is the Radeon HD 6750. The card we received from Sapphire is identical to the reference AMD version so it has a core clock of 700 MHz, memory clock of 1150 MHz, 720 stream processors, and support for up to 5 displays. Let's check it out!

Diversity monitoring is a process the council uses to collect information about staff, service users and (potentially) non-users as well as information on residents. These are those tick boxes you may get as part of a survey, customer feedback form or a complaint form.
Monitoring is an effective tool which enables us to analyse our services and make sure that all people can access them.
Stonewall have produced a really useful booklet which will help you answer many of questions you may have about monitoring - 'What's it got to do with you?'|
The specific duties require Bournemouth Borough Council to take steps to gather information on the composition of the authority's employees and information on the recruitment, development and retention of people as employees of the authority with respect to, in each year, the number and relevant protected characteristics of such people.
Please find below Bournemouth Borough Council's report, our last two years employee profiles:
It is necessary for us to understand who is uses our services, if we know who is using our services - or not using them as the case may be, we can make sure our services can be made better so all residents of Bournemouth can access them. This information is used to make things better - we can't do this without your help.
Also, through the Government Equality Legislation, the council has a commitment to ensure that the services we provide are the best we can provide to all our residents and visitors.
With regards to the questions being deemed invasive, providing options to declare, for example, disability or sexual orientation supports under-represented groups, recognising them as a normal part of our society. There is also a 'prefer not to say' option for those who do not wish to supply such information.
As mentioned above, the questions are used to help us look for similarities and/or differences between the different groups which exist in Bournemouth. By gathering such information we can get the best possible understanding of residents' priorities. This fullness of understanding should, in turn, help us provide services to the highest possible standard. Having information available to us will enable the Council to discover if there are any significant gaps in satisfaction with services linked to sexual orientation, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, disability or any other aspect, and work towards overcoming them.
Monitoring is also a way of checking whether unfair discrimination is taking place, in order to protect people from it. If we have a better understanding of the make-up of our resident it assists us in analysing areas of policy or their application, that may be presenting difficulties for people, particularly those from under-represented groups. Being able to provide real evidence also helps to make a successful business case for change, where areas of difference or difficulty become evident.

Lionel Richie's got once, twice, three times the friends you do.
As previously reported, CBS will be airing ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends in Concert after the Academy of Country Music Awards telecast April 13.
And while the special event already boasted an impressive roster of country stars — including Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Kenny Rogers, Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry, and Martina McBride — it turns out there are even more guests waiting in the wings.
Luke Bryan, Sara Evans, Tim McGraw, and Jennifer Nettles are the night's newest additions, the ACM and Dick Clark Productions announced today.
The concert will feature a variety of offerings, from solo performances to duets with the man of the hour. Naturally, a whole bunch of Richie hits from the man's upcoming country duets album Tuskegee, due March 26, will be addressed throughout the night; here's a peek at the itinerary:

Core Values
This loftlike open kitchen is the heart of a new home in Little Rock, Arkansas, that was built for a young doctor and his family
By Elle Decor Staff
When Ladly and Jesha Abraham met with architects Jennifer Herron and Jeff Horton, a husband-and-wife team they hired to design their new house in Little Rock, they passed along a clear directive: Make the kitchen the hub of their home -- "so we could work there but feel connected to the rest of the house," says Jesha, and so they could interact with guests and keep an eye on their children, Hannah and Seth. Moreover, they wanted their kitchen to serve as the metaphorical heart of the house: "We wanted it to be a place where we could sit, relax and share things over food," she adds.
Herron and Horton came up with a central design strategy to address the dual goals: views. Without walls to hinder access to adjacent rooms, the kitchen would be open and full of light, making it both easy to see out of and pleasurable to spend time in. "The kitchen became the pivot point," says Horton, "placed between the living areas on one end and the children's playroom on the other. You have visual access to the front door, through all the main rooms, even outside to the pool."
Within this open plan, Herron and Horton lowered the ceilings in the gathering areas to make them more intimate. "We added definition to the cooking and dining spaces by dropping the ceiling plane down 18 inches," says Horton. Likewise, they added a partial wall (painted orange) between the 18-by-19 12-foot kitchen and the adjacent dining room "to create a subtle transition from formal to informal," adds Herron.

john's reel
ALMOST, MAINE, John's first play, is a hilarious and heartbreaking fable that chronicles the amorous misadventures of the residents of residents of the remote, northern almost-town of Almost, Maine. Developed at the Cape Cod Theatre Project, ALMOST, MAINE premiered at Portland Stage Company in 2004, where it broke box office records and garnered critical acclaim. In 2006, the play enjoyed a successful off-Broadway run and is now featured in Smith and Kraus' New Playwrights: Best Plays of 2006. It has since become one of the most frequently produced plays in the United States, with over 2,500 productions to date. For more information, please visit almostmaine.com.
"Thornton Wilder crossed with 'The Twilight Zone."
The New York Post
"A beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings [and] a touch of good-natured magic realism."
The New York Times
"Sweet, poignant, and witty. Nearly perfect."
The New York Daily News
Nat Paradis is a Red Sox-loving, part-time single dad who manages Paradis' Last Convenient Store, the last convenient place to get gas—or anything—before the Canadian border to the north and the North Maine Woods to the west. When an old flame returns to town, Nat gets a chance to rekindle a romance he gave up on years ago. But sparks fly as he's forced to choose between new love and old. LAST GAS takes a hilarious and heartbreakingly hard look at love lost and found, and what it means to "get back to happy."
LAST GAS premiered at Portland Stage Company in 2010 and became the biggest selling three-week run in Portland Stage Company's history. It enjoyed an enormously successful run at Geva Theatre Center in Rochester, NY in the winter of 2014.
"A warm and genuinely moving evening. Very funny, and there's definitely romance in it…[but]…if this a romantic comedy, then so is Chekhov."

A darker cousin to ALMOST, MAINE, John's newest play, LOVE/SICK, is a collection of nine slightly twisted and completely hilarious short plays. Set on a Friday night in an alternate suburban reality, LOVE/SICK explores the pain and the joy that comes with being in love. Full of imperfect lovers and dreamers—from a couple obsessive impulsives who can't stop kissing each other to the guy who goes hysterically deaf at the sound of the words "I love you" to the power couple who realize that they forgot to have the baby—LOVE/SICK is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone.
"A gem. Abundant belly laughs."
The Portland Daily Sun
"Absolutely irresistible. Well-crafted, witty stories, chock-full of smart dialogue. "
The Portland Press Herald

22 states to challenge New York's SAFE Act
ALBANY -- 22 states are challenging New York's controversial SAFE Act.
Some lawmakers, outside New York, question its constitutionality.
They are focusing specifically on New York's ban on on semi-automatic weapons.
The SAFE Act only affects New York, but other state leaders claim it sets a concerning precedent.
They are filing a brief in an appellate court.
In December, a federal judge upheld most of Governor Cuomo's gun legislation.
The judge rejected arguments that it violates Second Amendment right.

Boston College Eagles (9-22)
@N.C. State Wolfpack (21-11)
Thursday, March 08
Philips Arena - Atlanta, GA
Attendance: 19,520
Boston College
N.C. State
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Scott Wood made five three-pointers en route to 22 points, as the North Carolina State Wolfpack held off the Boston College Eagles, 78-57, in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
C.J. Leslie added 11 points and 11 rebounds for the fifth-seeded Wolfpack (21-11), who got 12 points and eight assists from Lorenzo Brown.
NC State, which is on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament, will face fourth-seeded Virginia in Friday's quarterfinal round.
Ryan Anderson ended with 22 points and 12 boards for the 12th-seeded Eagles (9-22), who also lost both regular-season games against the Wolfpack. Lonnie Jackson had 10 points.
The Wolfpack came out of the gates on fire, starting the game on a 14-0 run. Brown's jumper with 4:40 left in the first half made it a 32-16 game.
But the Eagles scored the next eight points to get back in the game. NC State, though, tallied the final five points of the stanza to take a 37-24 lead into the break.
Boston College got as close as six early in the second half. But that was as close as they would get, as the Wolfpack ended the game on a 9-0 run to inflate the final margin.

A new era begins for Seattle chamber music
The Seattle Chamber Music Society's new director, James Ehnes, may seem young, but he's also talented, knowledgeable, determined, and diplomatic.
The 2011-12 season is shaping up to be a landmark year of changes within Seattle's classical music scene.
Much of the attention has focused on Ludovic Morlot's arrival as new music director of the Seattle Symphony, but in February James Ehnes takes the reins of the Seattle Chamber Music Society (SCMS), an organization that attracts some of the region's most passionately committed music fans.
Their Winter Festival, running from February 2 through 5 at Nordstrom Recital Hall in Benaroya Hall, launches Ehnes's inaugural season as artistic director. The extent to which he'll alter the tone and overall character of SCMS will only really start to be felt this summer, when the Society's traditionally more elaborate festival — back-to-back concerts spread over an entire month — takes place. Still, the compact Winter Festival is the opening segment of the first season to have been entirely planned by him. It suggests some hints of what we might expect in the Ehnes era.
In fact, Ehnes (his name rhymes with "tennis") hardly represents an unfamiliar presence to SMCS aficionados. An internationally acclaimed violinist who originally hails from Brandon in Canada's prairie province of Manitoba, he's a long-standing member of the constantly fluctuating roster of SMCS musicians. Together they seasonally migrate to the Emerald City to bliss out to the pleasures of making chamber music with old and new colleagues for dependably grateful audiences.
"SCMS now belongs to the mix of top destination music events," says Ehnes, referring to the chamber music circuit that includes such prestigious festivals as those held in Marlboro, Vermont and Santa Fe. "It's become an event of strategic importance for young players, too — a feather in their cap."
Just turned 36, Ehnes was himself still in his teens when he began appearing at the festival in the mid-1990s at the invitation of Toby Saks, who founded SCMS in 1981 and helmed the organization through its 30th season last summer.
"Even when he was a teenager," recalls Saks, "his playing wasn't just technically superb but musically of the highest order. He was already a fully-developed, adult artist from the start."
One of Saks's obvious fortes is her ability to intuit and encourage major talent in musicians who are just beginning to emerge. Pianist Jon Kimura Parker, for example, was a SCMS alum from the festival's earliest days, before his win at the Leeds International Piano Competition made him a widely sought-after soloist.
But along with Ehnes's musical gifts, over the years Saks realized he also possessed the one-of-a-kind skill set that would make him an ideal candidate to take over the Society's leadership. "When the time came to start searching for a successor a few years ago, I thought he'd be a natural at running the festival."
In striking contrast to the changeover at the Seattle Symphony — where an intensive search was conducted to lead to the selection of Morlot — the SCMS Board opted to forego that process. The result has been a frictionless transition for Ehnes, who was being groomed for the new role since being given the title of associate artistic director in 2007.
"Instead of reinventing the wheel, I want to continue building off the system that Toby has put in place over the years, which works terrifically," Ehnes says. "What I have in mind for the festival is to refine and expand on its possibilities."
The system in question involves a mix of returning veteran SCMS artists and newcomers: nearly all the musicians pursue careers outside Seattle. Instead of fixed ensembles, the configuration of players is flexible, constantly changing according to personnel and programming. Concerts feature a different menu each night. Interpretive decisions have to be worked out in limited rehearsal time or in the heat of performance itself. Full-length concerts are additionally prefaced by well-attended shorter recitals, usually for soloists or duos.
Ehnes's reluctance to declare a flashy, bold new mission may sound merely like diplomatic caution. But it's quite characteristic that he intends to rethink the SCMS model subtly and with careful deliberation — from the inside.

- Rare disease designations
Orphan designation
On 4 July 2012, orphan designation (EU/3/12/1004) was granted by the European Commission to Eli Lilly Nederland B.V., the Netherlands, for ramucirumab for the treatment of gastric cancer.
- What is gastric cancer?
Gastric cancer is a cancer that starts in the stomach, generally in the glandular cells lining the inside of the stomach. Gastric cancer is often detected late as the early signs of the disease are the same as those of less serious stomach conditions (heartburn, gas, excessive belching). At a later stage, gastric cancer causes unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite and general decline in health. Bleeding can occur, leading to anaemia (low red blood cell counts). Men are about twice as likely to develop the disease as women.
Gastric cancer is a serious and life-threatening illness that is associated with shortened life expectancy.
- What is the estimated number of patients affected by the condition?
At the time of designation, gastric cancer affected not more than 3 in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU)*. This is equivalent to a total of not more than 152,000 people, and is below the ceiling for orphan designation, which is 5 people in 10,000. This is based on the information provided by the sponsor and the knowledge of the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP).
*Disclaimer: For the purpose of the designation, the number of patients affected by the condition is estimated and assessed on the basis of data from the European Union (EU 27), Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. This represents a population of 506,300,000 (Eurostat 2011).
- What treatments are available?
At the time of designation, some patients with gastric cancer were treated with surgery to remove part or the whole of the stomach. Chemotherapy (medicines to treat cancer) was generally used after surgery or on its own if surgery was not possible or the disease had spread to other parts of the body. Several chemotherapy medicines were authorised in the EU for use in gastric cancer, such as cisplatin, docetaxel, doxorubicin, capecitabine, epirubicin, 5-fluorouracil, mitomycin and trastuzumab. They were often used in combination.
The sponsor has provided sufficient information to show that ramucirumab might be of significant benefit for patients with gastric cancer because early studies suggest it may partly improve the symptoms of patients with gastric cancer who had not responded to other treatments. This assumption will need to be confirmed at the time of marketing authorisation, in order to maintain the orphan status.
- How is this medicine expected to work?
Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein) that has been designed to recognise and attach to a receptor called 'vascular endothelial growth factor receptor' (VEGFR), found on the surface of cancer cells. It thereby blocks the action of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is present at high levels in gastric tumours and is responsible for the development of new blood vessels that supply the tumours. This slows down the growth of cancer cells by reducing their blood supply.
- What is the stage of development of this medicine?
The effects of ramucirumab have been evaluated in experimental models.
At the time of submission of the application for orphan designation, clinical trials with ramucirumab in patients with gastric cancer were ongoing.
At the time of submission, ramucirumab was not authorised anywhere in the EU for gastric cancer. Orphan designation of ramucirumab had been granted in the United States of America for gastric cancer.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 141/2000 of 16 December 1999, the COMP adopted a positive opinion on 11 May 2012 recommending the granting of this designation.
- Opinions on orphan medicinal product designations are based on the following three criteria:
- the seriousness of the condition;
- the existence of alternative methods of diagnosis, prevention or treatment;
- either the rarity of the condition (affecting not more than 5 in 10,000 people in the EU) or insufficient returns on investment.
Designated orphan medicinal products are products that are still under investigation and are considered for orphan designation on the basis of potential activity. An orphan designation is not a marketing authorisation. As a consequence, demonstration of quality, safety and efficacy is necessary before a product can be granted a marketing authorisation.

I like the idea that raid leaders have to be kind of selective about the class makeup. They can bring a shadowpriest for replenishment, or a rogue for higher DPS. I'm assuming, of course, that Blizzard makes good on its promise to make pure-DPS classes do a bit more than hybrids in challenging endgame content.

In either case, they should have won some points for winning.
My partner and I have been in the 1400-1500 range all season, and neither of us have ever paired with a much higher or lower-rated partner. So no shenanigans there.

What is the main theme of the poem "O Me! O Life"?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The essential idea is that no matter how miserable the world seems (cities filled with the foolish) and no matter how disappointed you are with yourself (of myself forever reproaching myself), and despite the seemingly futile struggle (poor results of all), life is still worth living. By the end of the first stanza, the speaker is in complete despair. O me o life is similar to Hamlet's "to be or not to be" speech. The question is "what is the point of living if everything seems so terrible."
The answer is a very concise way of stating the point or the meaning of life which is life itself. That sounds tautological (redundant) but that is the point. Even in the darkest hour, at the bleakest times in history, life still exists and history goes on. There is hope in that basic certainty. This poem is a celebration of life itself; at the same time, it suggests that struggle is a part of life and there is meaning to be found through struggle and that simply by being alive, you have inherent power and potential to contribute to the history of your and all (universal) life.

Perch Set For Return
James Perch is battling to give Newcastle United a welcome injury boost ahead the club's visit to Carrow Road.
The utility player suffered a knee injury in last weekend's FA Cup defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion.
And Newcastle manager Alan Pardew feared he would miss Saturday's Premier League game against Norwich City.
However, Perch has a chance of making Pardew's squad, as do captain Fabricio Coloccini, Papiss Demba Cisse and Jonas Gutierrez.
Alan Pardew: "The good news is that James Perch could be available for Saturday - it's not a longer-term injury.
"Hopefully, we'll have Jonas, Fabricio and Papiss back.
"We'll have stronger players back for Norwich. We need better players on the pitch. We need the best possible team we can get.
"The real issue is that we need our best players on the pitch.
"That's what we're working on.
"There's a determination to get our best players out there. But we can't rush them and bring them back before they're ready.
"We could be looking at Reading in terms of Steven Taylor.
"Mathieu Debuchy's also been training, so things are looking a little bit healthier."

I wouldn't buy this product again, because I have been using it for years and I am only half way through the white/light colour. The dark green looks great with my green eyes, I often get compliments when I wear this shadow. I was apprehensive about using green before. I am not crazy about the gold with my complexion though.
I paid 15$can for that quad and it is ok, I agree with a review saying the colors are chalky and the pigmentation could be better But If you are not sure about greens this is a good quad to start with.
Wow. I got this at the Lancome outlet for $7.50 and I'm fairly disappointed. I LOVE Lancome's color design eyeshadow singles... they have great pigmentation, texture, etc. However, this quad is really really underwhelming in every aspect. The texture is alright for three of the shades.... but as another reviewer mentioned, the pastel green is very chalky. The pigmentation is also pretty sad... it's almost nonexistent for all of them except the dark green shade, which is only marginally pigmented. For $7.50, it's the quality I'd expect but I cannot imagine paying a whole $40 for the quad.... I would have been pretty upset if I had (and definitely returned it). Also, the four colors (in my opinion) don't really work well together. Still, I'll get some use out of it thanks to the light gold/bronze and pearly white shades. Seriously, there are many d/s eyeshadow brands that could easily beat this palette's quality, hands down.
I wish this looked good on me. The colors are gorgeous and they work well together. I don't know what the names of the individual colors are, but you get one soft gold, one bronze, one pale green and one dark green. I found that the soft gold didn't really show on my skin (fair to medium tone) and the pale green came out a little chalky. Overall though, the colors are really pretty but I would not repurchase because they don't work well for me.
A nice palette but expensive "four" what it is. 4edge gives you four small shimmery frosty shadows - pale gold, bronzey-taupe, mint green, and jade green. Used all 4 colors - banging on my warm-toned skin but probably could be used by cool-toned girls too. Colors were well-coordinated, not as shimmery on as in the pans, gave true color instead of frostiness or chalkiness on my NC 45 eyelids, easy to blend, and lasted all day long over primer .without flaking or disappearing. The effect on my GGG/DDD skin was ethereal and lovely. However, I don't see much difference between this and L'Oreal's (same company?) quads in terms of quality and texture. I'm spoiled, I suppose, by the amazing textures and subtle shimmers you get from Chantecaille and even Fresh. For $40 I expect either more quality or more product. Further, the shadows flake in the compact so there's a lot of powder on the mirror and on the plastic. I swapped for a used one though and I am happy with it.
i got this as a gwp. i like to use these shadows individually or in pairs (the greens together and the neutrals together). altogether these don't look good on me at all. for reference i have very pale skin so maybe all these together would look alright on someone darker i don't know. i won't be buying this when it runs out because i know i can find better color combinations elsewhere.
More reviews by takemyhusbandplz
Like all the Lancome Colour Focus shadows these wear well. They blend well too. Very pretty shimmery colors.
The colors in this aren't as versatile as some of the other palettes, but they're gorgeous nonetheless - a pale lime green, a darker forest green, pale cream, and a medium brownish copper shade. All of them have shimmer. I suppose this suits warmer-toned people best, but I'm cool-toned and pale and it's great on me. The pigmentation on this one is better than some of the other palettes in the line too, I didn't even have to use them wet to get more pigment.
Very pretty green shades. I'm not used to wearing dark shadows so I use the Sandy Sage all over my lids, Blink as a liner, and the Daylight by the brows. This gives me a very sheer green effect perfect for day and night. Not very pigmented and it's not as shimmery as it looks on the pan. Unfortunately, I can't find any uses for the darkest green sade.

WandererJanuary 2000 |
Call me Ishmael..oh wait, that's Moby Dick. Instead, you can call me "The Wanderer," because I wander the Web in secrecy (well, as 'secret' as *I* can be).
Since this is my first submission, let me tell you a little bit about myself (I promise I'll try to keep this short so I don't bore whoever is reading this out there!!). I attend high school in the one of the southern states, which, as most people know, is part of a region known as "The Bible Belt." This isn't the ideal place to live! I'm female and bisexual. With the way my family is (overbearing and strict), this is not exactly something I'm very comfortable in sharing!
Anyway, I decided to write because, although I've always been aware of my bisexuality, I've never been forced to realize it-until now. I always thought this was something I could keep a secret (and trust me, I will keep it a secret to my family if my life depends on it!) because it never really came up in life. I've been 'in love' before, but always with the opposite sex. Recently, however, I have fallen head over heals for a female teacher, which doesn't make coming to class very easy. This teacher is very open-minded, which is probably one of the reasons I've fallen for her. It's nice to hear a fresh voice in a closed-hearted little town like this. (And of course, if you're wondering, I won't try to pursue any sort of relationship.)
Anyway, as I was saying, I've finally been forced to admit my bisexuality to myself (as I said, I've always been aware of it, but never really HAD to realize it for myself) and now I'm really not sure what to make of it. I can't be open about it to anyone right now because my family will find out. I've always been one to be brave under circumstances like these, but I find myself crawling into a shell now. If I must be open, it will be later in life, I assure you!
It is just so strange that I've always been the brave, open person, helping others through their turmoil and struggle. Now, when I realize that I'm in a volatile situation, as far as my future and family are concerned, I turn to mush! Don't worry all you kids out there, you are not alone!
Anonymity is important!!

Hi everybody. I am back from a long online hiatus and used to hang out almost exclusively in Compost/Mulch so I'm a newbie here.
DH and I have been slowly introducing or reviving existing edible plants in our yard over time but I've run into a suburban "emergency" that's forcing me to jump further down my "to do" list! Yesterday, neighbors cut down a number of mature trees along the property line and have eliminated a lot of our privacy. This has also changed the microenvironment of one area of our yard from fairly heavy understory shade to a mix of full sun/dappled shade. So, we're staring at each other now -- and I have a beautiful, uninterrupted sightline to busy Route 228 from my garden I didn't have before -- and I'm getting ready for the maintenance involved in battling weeds along a formerly shady and unweedy little pathway-under-trees that boasted a border of shade loving native things. I hope they continue. : ( However, the upshot is that I maybe able to grow fruiting bushes for a screen, now! I would like to grow highbush blueberries but do need to get some privacy back asap. The lay of the land is such that we are higher than they are and they can look right out their bedroom windows into our backyard and back of the house. So my question is, how quickly can I REALISTICALLY expect highbush blueberries to grow? My preferred site is under a row of limbed-up maple trees and behind rhodies and azaleas at the back of a mixed mass planting. This area gets light shade from the maples overhanging but, now, full sun from behind. I have plans to plant hb blueberries, anyway/as well, in an open full-sun area, but am trying to figure out if I can use them in this spot, too, to make a privacy hedge, or if I need to include something else for quick height. Thank you! -Karen |
Follow-Up Postings:
Karen, Can you copy and paste this question on the Fruit and orchard forum for people like Eric to answer this question? I bought 3 half high blueberry bushes this year, so I can not answer this for you. (If you had a little more time to let them a mature height, lilacs are great hedges. Lilacs like alkaline soil though. Kiwis or some erect blackberry bushes might grow faster. The people on the orchard forum can suggest ton more ideas for hedges to go with the blueberry bushes. Just tell them how tall of a hedge.) |
- Posted by karenfromhingham 6a MA (My Page) on Mon, Jul 20, 09 at 0:18
Thank you for the suggestion. I will. And, btw, yes I LOVE lilacs and have a nice one growing out front. I may put more in somewhere but this area had many mature pines growing in it, so the soil's got to be pretty acidic. |
- Posted by djofnelson 7, Ctrl. VA, foothil (My Page) on Wed, Jul 22, 09 at 15:48
You'll be waiting a long time to get any privacy from slow growing blueberry plants (at least 7-10 years under ideal conditions?). Trellised plants, such as trailing blackberries (e.g., Triple Crown), hardy kiwi and hops (which will fill an arbor or trellis fast) will provide you with much quicker privacy in non-winter months. You could also plant some quick growing privacy trees (thuja, etc.) as temporary screening until you fruiting plants got bigger (assuming they don't overly shade the plants). |

Hi Mo,
Those symptoms require firm support to address. You'll find that a firmer feel will help with your discs, and in turn, relieve the sciatica. An expensive mattress is not the answer for you. Given your size, most mattresses will lose their initial resiliency at about the same rate. Start with a Sealy Posturepedic Reserve in a firm. Add a 2" or 3" medium latex topper to that and you'll have the combination you need for comfort, support for our back, and the best you can expect in terms of longevity.

Botox Alternative Found to Be Safe, Effective
Posted: March 17, 2009
A new type of drug called Reloxin appears safe and effective in reducing forehead wrinkles, a new study finds.
The use of Botox to reduce forehead wrinkles and frown lines has long been a mainstay of cosmetic medicine. The medication works by preventing face muscles from contracting, an effect that lasts for several months.
As an alternative to Botox, Reloxin is now approved in 23 countries outside the United States to smooth wrinkles, the researchers noted. The drug has also been used outside the United States for more than 15 years to treat neurological disorders.
One of the differences between Botox and Reloxin is that Reloxin has less protein in its formula, noted Kamran Jafri, MD, from Jafri Craniofacial Plastic Surgery, New York City. Reloxin also contains fewer antigens, which cause the drug to break down more quickly, said Jafri, who was not involved in the new study. "Theoretically, because Reloxin has less of a protein load, the body will break it down at a slower rate. That means from a clinical perspective that it should last longer than Botox," he said. "However, some of the early trials are showing that Botox actually lasts longer than Reloxin."
Another difference between the drugs is that Reloxin defuses more in the tissue than Botox, Jafri said. "Botox typically defuses in about a one centimeter radius. Reloxin can go anywhere from one to three centimeters," he said. "That's a good thing for the forehead, where you can give fewer injections, but it's a bad thing for, say, crow's-feet, where unless you are an experienced injector and you know the muscles very well, it could spread to other muscles and cause a droopy eyebrow or droopy eyelid," he explained.

Hackers Allege Mt. Gox Still Controls "Stolen" Bitcoins
timothy posted about a year ago | from the other-side-of-anonymity dept.
228The Verge reports that "Tokyo-based Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox lost $400 million worth of bitcoins in February. Its management said the amount was stolen after hackers exploited a transaction bug to divert the funds, but some of Mt. Gox's users are not so sure, suggesting instead that the exchange's owners pocketed the cash. Now, facing silence from those owners about the fate of the money and the methods by which 6 percent of all of the Bitcoin in the world could have been stolen, a group of hackers claims it has broken into the bankrupted Bitcoin exchange's network to get answers. ... Forbes reports that the group gained access to the personal blog and Reddit account of Mark Karpeles, Mt. Gox's CEO. The hackers used the platforms to post a message that claimed Karpeles still had access to some of the bitcoins that he'd reported stolen. In support of the claim, they uploaded a series of files that included a spreadsheet of more than a million trades, Karpeles' home addresses, and a screenshot purportedly confirming the hackers' access to the data." (The Forbes article on which the Verge report is based.)

NAB AFL Auskick is a program managed by the local community for the community. Adults play an essential role, whether as parents, coaches, administrators or officials, in supporting junior football in Australia.
Children learn best by example. Therefore codes of conduct provide clear behavioural guidelines and promote a quality environment in which both the game and the participants can flourish.
The following codes of conduct apply for all junior AFL programs.
Code of conduct – Parents and spectators
- Encourage children to participate regardless of ability
- Encourage participants to always play by the rules
- Never ridicule mistakes or losses
- Remember that participants learn best by example. Applaud good play by all teams
- Never publicly disagree with officials. If you disagree, raise the issue privately through appropriate channels

- Smoking and the consumption of alcohol is unacceptable at junior sport
Code of conduct – Coaches and teachers
- Be reasonable in your demands: consider young players' time, energy and enthusiasm levels
- Avoid over-playing the talented players. The just 'average' players' need and deserve equal time. n Keep winning in perspective: maximise participation because children participate for fun and enjoyment
- Stress safety: ensure that equipment and facilities are safe and appropriate for age and ability levels
- Consider maturity levels: match up practice schedules, activities and degree of competition
- Develop team respect: for opponents as well as for the judgement of officials and opposing coaches
- Recognise the importance of injury: seek and follow the physician's advice concerning injured players
- Keep informed: with sound principles of coaching and skill development, and development of children
- Teach sporting behaviour: create opportunities to teach appropriate sports behaviour as well as basic skills
- Get priorities right: ensure skill learning and appropriate behaviour are the priority over competition
- Teach fair play: help children understand the responsibilities and implications of their freedom to choose between fair and unfair play

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Eva, a Loudonville Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Loudonville, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Loudonville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Loudonville 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 Loudonville 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 Loudonville paves the way for another one to be saved.
