Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Let me start out by saying, I absolutely loved [b:The Giver|3636|The Giver (The Giver, #1)|Lois Lowry|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342493368s/3636.jpg|2543234] from the very first reading in sixth grade. Since then, I've read it too many times to count. So I was super excited for this concluding book and a return to the community from which Jonas and Gabe came. Overall I did really enjoy this book. It had many of the elements that made me love the original and the sequels [b:Gathering Blue|12936|Gathering Blue (The Giver, #2)|Lois Lowry|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347750315s/12936.jpg|2134456] and [b:Messenger|12930|Messenger (The Giver, #3)|Lois Lowry|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320457206s/12930.jpg|901952]. It again deals with issues that many middle-grade books that shy away from. Central to this book is the story of a teenage mother and her yearning for her child, which many will think an odd topic for a children's book. I like that Lowry writes about things that many other people don't think is 'appropriate', 'understandable' or 'relatable' for children. Children are much more intelligent and aware of things than most give them credit for and I do think they will be able to appreciate this book. However, as much as I enjoyed getting another look at the community from where this all began and having an ending to the series, my biggest problem is that it is too wrapped up. My love for [b:The Giver|3636|The Giver (The Giver, #1)|Lois Lowry|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342493368s/3636.jpg|2543234] as a child was in much part due to the ambiguous nature of it's ending. This was one of the first books that I can really remember making me think. By leaving me with questions it made me delve deeper into the subject matter and come back to it over and over again. But, with [b:Son|13324841|Son (The Giver, #4)|Lois Lowry|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349952095s/13324841.jpg|18252076] the ending is kind of tied up in a nice package with a pretty bow on top. This is disappointing in many ways because it makes the book lack the essential thing that made the first book such a unique and thought-provoking book for young readers. If there was one thing I could have wished for out of this book it would be that the ending, while still being a finale for the series, could have hearkened back to [b:The Giver|3636|The Giver (The Giver, #1)|Lois Lowry|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342493368s/3636.jpg|2543234] and left us with something to think about. In summary, even with its faults, it was still great for me as a long time lover of the series and I would easily recommend it to other fans. The Giver is the first novel in the Giver Quartet by Lois Lowry. Plot: Jonas' twelfth year-ceremony is approaching – which is especially exciting because all kids get their community assignment at their twelfth year-ceremony. That means that they'll finally find out what their role and duty will be in their community. Contrary to many other kids, Jonas has no idea what he is suited for. But he certainly did not expect to be announced as the new Receiver of Memories – he doesn't even know what it is the Receiver does. When he starts his apprenticeship, the role of the receiver is far from the only thing he learns though. The Giver is a nice read. Since it is geared towards kids, you can read it quickly, but while the language might be simplified, the content is not. That and Jonas' likeability make the book a compelling read, even if I did not fall completely in love with it. Read more on my blog: http://kalafudra.com/2014/09/20/the-giver-lois-lowry/ To me you're a child, still. And a mum always loves her child. Claire knows that she has lost something precious. She should move on with her life and conform to the ways of the community. Move on. And yet what her body has lost, her heart cannot let go. Against the odds, against common sense, and against everything she has been taught growing up, she will search for what was lost and reclaim what has been stolen from her. In this conclusion to The Giver Quartet, Lowry takes us back to the beginning, drawing a full circle from all her previous characters and stories. Although the writing is deceptively simple, the ideas of freedom, freewill, and love are all intricately interwoven into all her books and Son does not disappoint in that regard. If I were to be critical it would be the fact that her previous three books were short, concise and straight to the heart of the matter, whereas Son being almost twice the size of its predecessors felt at times a bit drawn out. The power of her style that completely worked with her previous novels seems to have lost a bit of its steam and impact of delivery in this final installment. Nevertheless, the entire series is a must read and will undoubtably be a favourite of mine for years to come. Recommended. Well, shoot, now how are English teachers going to assign their classes to write the rest of the ending to The Giver if Ms. Lowry answers a ton of the questions herself right in this book? (Heh). Anyway, this is the fourth book in the 'Giver' series. And it pulls together almost everything from the previous three books into the same story. It starts with Claire from the same community/town as Jonas, but who a couple years before Jo was picked as a birth mother. Claire had her child, #36 of that year, but something went wrong and she got reassigned to the Fish Hatchery. The story goes from there, mostly following her journey as she tries to reconnect with her son. It's an amazingly expansive story, and like with the other three stories in the Giver series, it never forgets about the characters or relationships also. We have Claire who with every chapter we find has new layers to her. Gabe who has quite grown up since the last books. Alysis a great supporting character who's quite the helper on Claire's journey. And then there's Einar. He turned into my favorite character in the whole book. Claire meets him once she gets out of the community where she grew up and like her he has many, many layers to him. And even as the book ends I felt like there could be another one just about him. That seems to be how Lowry writes. On the one hand the stories get well concluded while still being wicked open ended. But the part that I like most about this series' books, especially this one, is that it's always fun to try and figure out what these characters are talking about, what something like a fish as big as a boat really refers to. I like thinking of how Lowry's world fits (or doesn't fit) alongside our real world. Son is the final book in the series and, as much as I enjoyed this series, this book left me with mixed feelings. There were new characters and old, which led to both new story lines and resolutions to existing ones. But some of the messages in this one struck me as a little off. This book is split into three sections, following several years in the life of Claire. The first part takes us back to places we have been before, going back in time a bit to about the time when Jonas' story began. As a mother, her story in this section touched me, heart and soul. The second part of the story takes place in a new society, a society in which Claire is almost as a child. It is the story of Jonas, had we been with him in his time of transition from the world that he left in The Giver until we met him again in Messenger. The third part of the story is the one that ties all of the various story lines of the series together. In this part, we remeet a lot of the characters from other books and many of the subplots are brought to the foreground. The first three books showed us three very different utopian/dystopian worlds, worlds with different values, priorities, and issues. As someone obsessed with cultural anthopology, I loved this premise. I loved that it made me question my own thoughts and beliefs. But I felt like that was greatly lacking in this book. The society from the second section wasn't really created like the others; it was just sort of there, like a place filler. By the time she made it to the society that we first met in Messenger, that group was largely healed. There was little conflict to be seen. That came from an outside force that needed to be battled in the traditional good versus evil battle. But none of this happened until very late in the book, making the entire thing feel a bit rushed. And the conclusion itself really left me feeling a bit unfulfilled. The previous books were deep, full of questions about human nature, choices, sacrifice, priorities, and values. The conclusion just seemed rather anticlimatic and a little banal in comparison. The other thing I had hoped for was answers. I wanted to know what happened to the other societies. Did they change? Did they get worse or better? The only one that we ever really saw any transformation in was the one of Messenger and the last portion of Son, the society of outcasts. Things to love... --Revisiting places and characters. --Getting answers to some of the questions from other books. Things I wanted more/less of... --More depth to the resolution. --More resolution about the other societies. My Recommendation: While it may have been my least favorite of the series, it is still a good read and a relatively satisfying conclusion to the series. I gave it 4.5 mugs. no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0547887205, Hardcover)They called her Water Claire. When she washed up on their shore, no one knew that she came from a society where emotions and colors didn't exist. That she had become a Vessel at age thirteen. That she had carried a Product at age fourteen. That it had been stolen from her body. Claire had a son. But what became of him she never knew. What was his name? Was he even alive? She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible. Now Claire will stop at nothing to find her child, even if it means making an unimaginable sacrifice. Son thrusts readers once again into the chilling world of the Newbery Medal winning book, The Giver, as well as Gathering Blue and Messenger where a new hero emerges. In this thrilling series finale, the startling and long-awaited conclusion to Lois Lowry's epic tale culminates in a final clash between good and evil.(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:26:48 -0400) Unlike the other Birthmothers in her utopian community, teenaged Claire forms an attachment to her baby, feeling a great loss when he is taken to the Nurturing Center to be adopted by a family unit.

The director of operations recently provided the details of the team travel opportunity:
Sandy, Vibe Management's director of operations, elaborated further, explaining that the primary objective for the retreat is to engage in team building via rest and relaxation. When dedicated team members immerse themselves in work, they are susceptible to stress and its effects. They generate an abundance of energy when they exert themselves, and this excess energy manifests in the form of sleep difficulties, tightened muscles, and jaw clenching.
Basic rest and relaxation are reliable means of reducing tension. Such measures of self-care allow individuals to avoid the distraction of stress and to focus on their work. As the team members enjoy themselves and the retreat environment, they will have the opportunity to effectively engage in team building exercises as well.
The top marketing specialists selected to attend the retreat will be announced in the coming months. In addition to specially planned surprise excursions, these leaders will have fun swimming with dolphins and visiting the Pyramid of the Sun. They may also opt to relish in a variety of other experiences, such as lounging on the beach and learning about local culture.
Vibe Management Encourages Top Leaders to Obtain Stress Management Education
Vibe Management's director of operations indicates that a significant portion of the retreat in Mexico will encompass stress management education. The team members will choose from a number of themed workshops, all of which will be available throughout their stay.
They will attend yoga classes, learn deep breathing and meditative techniques, practice journaling and painting, and engage in guided imagery. Massage therapy, aromatherapy, reflexology, floatation tanks, and various other means of relaxation will be offered as well.
Each of these experiences represents opportunities for team members to learn how to better manage stress and bond with one another on personal levels. Sandy concludes her statement by explaining, "The entire company anticipates benefiting from these escapades, because attendees will bring their newly acquired skills to their colleagues who remain in the office."

The Secretariat also says Anguilla and the Cayman Islands, which are
Associate members, will be represented at the highest level of government.
But missing will be the Prime Minister of Barbados David Thompson, who
announced on Thursday that he was proceeding on two months extended
medical leave. Suriname, which recently came out of general elections, is
yet to choose a president and therefore will not be represented by a
government leader. However, it not immediately clear why the Prime
Minister of Belize, Dean Barrow as well as the Chief Minister of
Montserrat will not be attending the meeting.
The Montego Bay summit is due to take forward decision-making on the much
talkedabout CARICOM Single Economy. It will also consider other pressing
matters related to the economy, as well as issues of crime and security,
climate change. The CARICOM Secretariat said that the Council of Ministers
and the Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee on External Negotiations will meet
ahead of Sunday's formal opening of the summit. Itsaid that the Council of
Ministers will meet on Saturday and will finalise the agenda for the
summit as well as discuss matters pertaining to the CARICOM Secretariat's
Strategic Plan for 2009-2015 with a view to determining its priorities
over the next five years.
Among the items on the agenda of the Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee on
External Trade Negotiations, which meets on Sunday, is the status of the
negotiations of the CARICOM-Canada Trade and Development Agreement, which
is about to enter its third round. "Exploratory talks between senior
CARICOM trade officials and Canada began formally in November 2009 with
CARICOM putting forward its interest in a strong development component, as
a distinct chapter of the agreement," the Secretariat said.
It said the Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee meeting will also consider
matters related to the implementation of Caribbean Forum of African
Caribbean and Pacific States (CARIFORUM)-European Community (EC) Economic
Partnership Agreement (EPA) and the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Doha
Round. "TheCommittee members will also exchange views on the implications
of CARICOM's continued participation in free trade negotiations in the
current economic crisis," it added.

Cumbrian financial adviser made society member
Last updated at 12:36, Friday, 21 December 2012
Financial adviser David Finan has become a member of the Society of Later Life Advisers (Solla).
He says the accreditation is regarded by many as the "gold standard" for advising older people on financial matters.
Members have to adhere to a six-point code of practice.
Mr Finan, who lives near Keswick, is a chartered financial planner and managing director of Jardine Finan Wealth Managers at Parkhouse, Carlisle.
He said: "I am proud to have achieved the Solla accreditation.
"It recognises not only of my formal qualifications but also my expertise when dealing with what are often emotive financial decisions that older clients and their families face.
"It gives reassurance to clients but also other professionals and agencies that deal with older people."
Mr Finan has 25 years' experience as a financial adviser.
He began his career with Barclays Bank and has also worked for Armstrong Watson and the national wealth-management firm Torquil Clark.
He was a joint founder of Christopher Harrison Financial Advisers in Carlisle in 2009.
He renamed the firm Jardine Finan after taking control a year later.
Jardine Finan in unusual in being directly authorised by the Financial Services Authority rather than through a network.
Although the firm offers all types of financial advice, helping older clients is a particular strength. For example, it advises people who need long-term care.
Only those with assets of less than £14,250 have their care bills met in full by Cumbria County Council while those with more than £23,250 have to cover all their care costs.

Ralph "Captain" DeNendo passed away peacefully on Friday, December 7, 2012 in Hahnemann University Hospital. He was born in West Conshohocken and was a lifelong resident. He was the son of the late Ralph and Sara (Quinn) DeNendo. Ralph attended West Conshohocken High School until the 11th grade and then graduated from Conshohocken High School in 1948. He went into the US Army in February of 1952, was a member of the 45th Infantry Division and was sent to Korea in July 1952. In September 1952 he was wounded on Mortar Hill and Hospitalized in the 11th Evacuation Hospital for one month. He was sent back to active duty and spent 128 days on the right side of Sandbag Castle near the 38th Parallel and on Hill No. 465. He was honorably discharged in November of 1953 having received the Korean Service Medal W/2
Bronze stars
, Combat Infantry Badge, United Nations Service Medal, Good conduct Medal and the
Purple Heart
. He was a member of the
of Conshohocken since his discharge. He was a machinist at the Budd Company for over 36 years but suffered with high blood pressure. In the early 1990s his doctor advised seeing a cardiologist. He was a workaholic and didn't want to make an appointment because the cardiologist didn't have evening hours. In 1993 he had an emergency triple bypass and was forced into retirement. In 1994 he was given a gift of life with a heart transplant at Temple University Hospital. He later transferred to Hahnemann University Hospital because some of his favorite doctors and nurses had also transferred from TUH. He received excellent and compassionate care throughout the years. He was on dialysis for three years until he received a kidney transplant in 2006. Many complications and operations followed the heart and kidney transplant, yet through all of this he continued to have a great sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh. One of his many hobbies was selling at flea markets. He was more interested in meeting and talking with people than making money. People recognized him throughout PA and NJ and would greet him with, "Hi there Captain". Besides his loving wife Ethel (Lau), a widow, he is survived by two step-sons W. Clement and Daniel Smith. He loved them so much that he wanted people to believe they were his biological sons. He is also survived by two granddaughters, Lydia and Kelly Smith who he enjoyed frolicking with and playing Santa Claus each Christmas. He was a loving, caring father and grandfather and they loved and cherished him in return. He is also survived by his sister Dolores Frattone, widow of George, and nephews Kenneth and John (Lou) Frattone. His sister Theresa Ross preceded him in death. Her children are his nephew David and niece Doreen (Michael) Hindo. Relatives and friends are invited to his Funeral Service on Friday, December 14, 2012 at 10:30 AM at the Emil J. Ciavarelli Family Funeral Homes, 516 Fayette St., Conshohocken. Visitation will be from 8:30-10:30 AM. Interment will be in Calvary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please make remembrances in his name to the Second Chance Heart Transplant Group, c/o Richard Harbourt, Hahnemann University Hospital, 230 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102. Condolences may be made at

NEW YORK — Hostess, the maker of Twinkies and Ding Dongs, said late Tuesday that it failed to reach an agreement with its second-biggest union.
As a result, Hostess plans to continue with a hearing Wednesday in which a bankruptcy court judge in White Plains, N.Y., will decide if Hostess can shutter its operations.
Renewed talks between Hostess and The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union came after the company said last week it would move to wind down its business and start selling off its assets in bankruptcy court. The company cited a crippling strike that was started Nov. 9 by the union, which represents 30 percent of Hostess workers.
After hearing Hostess' case to liquidate Monday, the bankruptcy court judge said the two sides hadn't tried resolving their differences through private mediation. The judge said 18,000 jobs were on the line and urged the company and union to try to resolve their differences. They began mediation proceedings Tuesday.
In a statement late Tuesday, Hostess would say only that mediation "was unsuccessful." The bakers union had no immediate comment.
Hostess shut down its three dozen plants late last week after it said the bakers union strike hurt its ability to maintain normal production. The union says the company's demise was the result of years of mismanagement and that workers have given steep concessions over the years.
Hostess, weighed down by management turmoil, rising labor costs and Americans' changing tastes, is making its second trip through Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring. The company, based in Irving, Texas, brought on CEO Gregory Rayburn as a restructuring expert in part to renegotiate its contract with labor unions.

An approach to prepare microparticles of uniform size.

ABSTRACT: Using second generation mucoadhesives may enhance targeting antibiotics for eradication of Helicobacter pylori from the stomach for the treatment of peptic ulcer. The aim of this research was to prepare and characterise ethylcellulose/chitosan microspheres containing clarithromycin with their surfaces functionalised with concanavalin A to produce a floating-mucoadhesive formulation. The microspheres were prepared using an emulsification-solvent evaporation method. Particle size, surface morphology, in vitro buoyancy profile, zeta potential, drug entrapment efficiency, in vitro drug release and release kinetics of the particles were determined. Lectin was conjugated to the microsphere surface using two-stage carbodiimide activation and confirmed using FTIR, fluorescence studies and zeta potential measurements. Conjugation ranged from 11 - 15μg Con A / mg microspheres which represents over 56 % efficiency although there was some drug loss during the conjugation process. Conjugation did not have a significant effect on the buoyancy and release of drug from the microspheres using a mucus diffusion model with 53 % and 40 % of drug released from unconjugated and conjugated microspheres within 12h. Conjugation improved mucoadhesion and interaction with porcine gastric mucin compared to unconjugated microspheres. The buoyancy and improved mucoadhesion of the microspheres provides potential for delivery of CMN and other drugs to the stomach.International Journal of Pharmaceutics 05/2014; · 3.99 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This article reviews available methods for the formation of alginate nano-aggregates, nanocapsules and nanospheres. Primarily, alginate nanoparticles are being prepared by two methods. In the "complexation method", complex formation on the interface of an oil droplet is used to form alginate nanocapsules, and complex formation in an aqueous solution is used to form alginate nano-aggregates. In a second method w/o emulsification coupled with gelation of the alginate emulsion droplet can be used to form alginate nanospheres. We review advantages and disadvantages of these methods, and give an overview of the properties of the alginate particles produced with these methods.Advances in Colloid and Interface Science 03/2014; · 8.64 Impact Factor

Stan for Model Number #pavt234Aww
Answer Hello Stan, You may want to check the pump 35-6468 to make sure that there is nothing stuck in the pump causing noise. Make sure that pump spins freely and does not appear to be binding in either direction. Also check the thrust bearing 12002213 which would be the big pulley on the bottom for damage or wear. Check to make sure that one direction it lifts the brake 35-6918 35-6714 and the other direction it is relaxed. If it is a screeching type of noise then you would want to check to make sure that the brake is not slipping.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama offered a silent prayer while speaking on Hurricane Gustav in Monroe, Mich.
DETROIT – Barack Obama urged his supporters on Monday to donate to the Red Cross to help victims of Hurricane Gustav. The Democratic presidential nominee scaled back Labor Day speeches to unions in an effort to keep the focus on the Gulf Coast.
Obama planned to finish his campaign schedule Monday with stops in Michigan and Wisconsin before heading home to Chicago to monitor the hurricane situation and decide his schedule for the week.
"Instead of a speech, what I'd like to do is to ask all of us join in some silent prayer for all those Americans who are spending this Labor Day in a shelter waiting for another storm to pass," Obama said at a rally in the shadow of General Motors' headquarters.
"There's a time for us to argue politics, but there's a time for us to come together as Americans," Obama said. "I know John McCain wants what's best for the people who have been evacuated. I know George Bush wants what's best for them and so do I."
In an e-mail sent to hundreds of thousands of his supporters, Obama said, "Please give whatever you can afford, even $10, to make sure the American Red Cross has the resources to help those in the path of this storm."
He also sent a text message to cell phones, asking for $5 for the Red Cross. Obama had built up a massive list of cell phone numbers with a promotion to announce his running mate by text message.
In his brief remarks in Detroit, Obama praised organized labor. "The idea behind the labor movement is that you don't walk alone. You're not by yourself." Obama said. "And each of us are vulnerable by ourselves."

We've known for months that the FCC and the Justice Department are hard at work combing through the proposed Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger, but they aren't the only ones. Although the deal will need approval from both federal agencies in order to move forward, it also has to get the states where Comcast, TWC, and Charter operate on board. And some states, New York in particular, aren't making it easy for the cable giants to get their way. [More]

Initial Questions Offer Hope That FCC Isn't Going Easy On Comcast/TWC Merger
While the FCC's public comment period for the Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger remain open through Monday, the commission has already sent off its first round of questions to the companies involved.

52 Ill-Informed Mayors Agree: The Comcast/TWC Merger Is Greatest Thing Ever
The gleaming USB drive that is Comcast HQ towers above the rest of the skyline here in Philadelphia, and the company is set to build another gleaming spire as a monument to its greatness right across the street. Just a few blocks away from the nation's largest cable and Internet provider sits Mayor Michael "Why do people always laugh at my last name?" Nutter, who recently rounded up a bunch of other mayors to tell the FCC how awesome Comcast's merger with Time Warner Cable would be. Of course, missing from that list of mayors were the leaders of New York City and Los Angeles, the two cities that would be most affected by the deal. [More]

Former Comcast Employee Makes Best Argument Yet For Blocking Time Warner Cable Merger

3 Myths Comcast Is Telling The FCC About TWC Merger

Will End Of Sprint's Marriage To T-Mobile Make Things Easier For Comcast & TWC?

Sprint Gives Up Dream Of Wedded Bliss With T-Mobile, Gives CEO Dan Hesse The Boot

Dish Asks FCC To Block Comcast/Time Warner Cable Merger
If you could be any player in the pay-TV industry these days, you probably wouldn't choose to be Dish Network. It's being sued by broadcasters for its DVR; its one competitor in the satellite market is trying to merge with AT&T, which puts Dish's future in doubt. So it's little surprise that Dish isn't thrilled about the potential marriage of Comcast and Time Warner Cable. [More]
FCC Hires Opponent Of Comcast/NBC Deal To Review Comcast/Time Warner Cable Merger
Comcast and Time Warner Cable have been treating their merger as a foregone conclusion ever since they announced their betrothal in February. And with the companies cozying up to regulators, dropping huge piles of cash on lobbyists and campaign contributions, and making themselves look as good as possible, it's not hard to see why the execs at the top would be feeling confident. But the FCC has just made a few key hires that make it look like the agency might actually push back against Comcast's financial onslaught. [More]
AT&T Says DirecTV Merger Will Save Money, But Not For Customers
While the folks at AT&T and DirecTV try to claim that their proposed merger is different from the pending marriage of Comcast and Time Warner Cable, both deals have one bit of double-talk in common, with the companies all saying their respective deals will help them be more efficient and save money while no one is willing to commit to passing those savings on to customers.

New York State Wants To Hear From You About Comcast-Time Warner Merger
When I arrived for yesterday's State of New York Public Service Commission hearing in Albany on the Comcast-Time Warner merger, there were about twenty people sitting along the aisles in a theatre that holds 500. While most Americans are against the merger, not many feel strongly enough to scale the vast poured-concrete fortress of the state university campus to speak out about it. That's okay, though. Anyone can still make their opinion known to the PSC. [More]
Survey: Over Half The Country Thinks The Comcast-Time Warner Cable Merger Is A Terrible Idea
We here at Consumerist are skeptical at best about Comcast's bid to merge with Time Warner Cable. From where we sit, the deal looks distinctly anticompetitive and likely to harm consumers.

AT&T Wants To Bring NFL Sunday Ticket To Its Wireless Customers
As we mentioned a few weeks ago, DirecTV's exclusive NFL Sunday Ticket package is so vital to the satellite service's business that AT&T can walk away from the two companies' pending $49 billion merger if DirecTV and the NFL are unable to renew their contract.

We have been to this restaurant several times of the 7 years it's been open. Over the time in general we have had average service albeit always friendly but the food has been good.

Nerve Pain After Coolsculpting - Boston, MA
I had Coolsculpting done on my lower abdomen 5/7/2014. I'm a size 4, 135 lbs and I always seem to have a little extra weight in my lower stomach, especially after I had my son 2 years ago.

I bought a package of ematrix at a medspa and they offered me a complimentary upgrade to their new Palomar 1540 laser due to a customer service issue.

Top Five Bigfoot Videos Ever
8 comments:
Imho, these are probably the best videos out there, there are many more but if you take these examples into account imagine what the others must look like.
I also feel that video probably won't convince people of the existence of bigfoot, not unless it's of bigfoot picking berries and taking a nap2 feet away from a camera.- Shogun26912:12 PM
While there are surely a lot of hoaxes and mis-identifications out there, you still have around 5% of the sightings that simply can't be written off. I just saw a very good documentary where experts did scientific studies on the Patterson film, and were able to do measurements on the creature based upon the lens size, distance from the subject, and the height of the surrounding structures, being the trees and bushes in this case. They were able to set the height of the creature as 7'4", with an error rate of 2". So unless Patterson was able to get someone over 7 feet tall and order a monkey suit that would tightly fit a 7 foot man, then you have to lean toward the side of it being real.

Yes Bill Heoronomous is the guy in the suit. The whole town said Roger was trying to see his wife was taken care of afer he passed away. The makers of the suit and the guy with the goofy walk(no need to disguise his walk) He already walked that way. Everyone in that own said it is no mystery around here who was in the suit. Even small talk Bills friend said I would be worried about a bullet in the butt. Bill laughed and said that was the very hing he was worried about. Think logically just hope to find one and lo and behold it appears. I bet Bob Gimlin has always laughed about fooling people for sooooo long. Also Austin beat the time of the bigffot running in the video. Also a the end the creature raises its mask off and Austin agreed it was too hot for comfort. Fact or faked have exposed the running bigfoot to my satisfaction. The others good job.

The Winery at Shale Lake sprawls over 212 acres of verdant terrain, with a 10-acre vineyard producing a menu of eight original wines for enjoyment in an array of charming settings. Spin around the 24-acre lake during a 30-minute bike ride aboard any of the Surrey cycles available for rent, or hike the scenic trail to slowly experience nature and the soothing melodies of Bigfoot quartets. Sip on up to five complimentary varieties of wine in the tasting room, built into the barn for a fine equine view through the picture window, and chow on gastronome goodies, including baked brie with raspberry sauce ($6), or white garlic and sausage pizza ($9). Kick back in the winter loft during colder months, playing pool and swirling sippers such as the Fifth Dimension, a sweet red foch wine, and the Beginners Luck, a semisweet chambourcin (all $4.50 by the glass). Live performers burst into song roughly twice a month, so thirst quenchers can enjoy sweet sounds while tickling their taste buds and their friends' bellies on Saturday evenings.
As Halloween approaches, dozens of macabre vistas appear across the country, frightening but somehow also beckoning groups of visitors. The masterminds behind these apparitions? America Is Haunted, a company that has fear down to a science. That starts with the element of surprise, as each location holds its own secrets and scares. Six terrifying mazes, eight mini-shows, more than 300 monsters, goblins, and ghouls including larger-than-life rats, spiders, and gargoyles, as well as interactive experiences, gory vignettes, and costumed actors await throughout each attraction. The escorted journey may begin with a disorienting, technicolor maze where each turn brings guests face to face with some new horror. Other locales might include a maximum-security prison where the inmates run wild or a grocery store where the cereal is all the healthy kind.
The labyrinthine streets of Chicago contain a wealth of bizarre secrets?it just takes the right person to find them. That's where the team of quirky guides behind Weird Chicago Tours come in. As a diverse group of amateur detectives, history buffs, and ghost-hunters, they've acquired the knowledge and experience necessary to lead others into the city's darkest corners. At some stops, passengers disembark and venture inside for a closer look.
Weird Chicago Tours is always devising new tour themes, such as the Roaring '20s Tour: an adults-only exploration of Prohibition and 1920s gangster activity through visits to a former brothel district and a series of bars. The Haunted History Tour recounts some of Chicago's most unusual ghost stories and stops at areas of reported paranormal activity. Other tours prowl sites tied to Al Capone's notorious career and the St. Valentine's Day massacre or grisly crime scenes straight out of the novel Devil in the White City.
Each day, as the sun rises over the Illinois River Valley, light spills across Kickapoo Creek Winery's 14 acres of vineyards. Dr. David Conner originally began planting these vines in 2001. Now joined by his son, Rory, Dr. Connor creates rich, fruit-forward wines using locally sourced grapes in addition to the family's own grape harvests. Each wine brings its own melange of flavors and aromas, whether it's the tropical and citrus notes of the vignoles-seyval blanc blend or the norton's subtle spice and hints of ripe plum. The Connor family also makes wines infused with the luscious fruit flavors of everything from cranberries to peaches; and the selection of dessert wines includes bottles infused with chocolate.
Although the tasting room's samples lure many visitors, Kickapoo Creek Winery also provides guests with opportunities to explore its picturesque grounds. Walking trails can guide visitors past rows of trellised grapevines, a bubbling fountain, and even a bridge overlooking Lake Elizabeth. The grounds also include a handful of places for guests to stop and rest for a spell, such as the partially shaded Ruby Glow Garden with its miniature waterfall of grape juice.
It's more likely that Illinois River Winery founder and winemaker Gregg Kane is out in the field or tinkering in the wine lab than in the chair behind his desk. Thanks to his hard work, the winery's tasting room offers a selection of more than 30 varietals daily, from crisp, dry wines with vibrant acidity to wet wines known for their unique ability to quickly soak into a shirt. During warmer months, grab a glass and head out to the patio, where live music sweetly serenades sippers every Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
Crown Ridge Tiger Sanctuary, a USDA–approved big-cat rescue facility, plays motherly host to a roaring family composed of five tigers and a lone lioness with a sultry swagger. Adopting philanthropists can align with their striped or unstriped spirit animal, choosing from noble felines such as the elder Mohan—a white male tiger with blue eyes, a pink nose, and a natural screen presence—or Raja—the relentlessly caring mother of sisters Gracie and Thor.

Re:No. (225 comments)
the only scary gameplay moment i can recall was when i played Willow for the NES. there was this weird sound that would play when the monsters would spawn in and rise from the ground... the encounters would occur sporadically and somehow the sound effect created this anxiety and tension inside of me... i had to stop playing the game because the feeling was too weird

This whole post started in a Facebook group with a statement I made, "No budget for marketing doesn't mean hit up the mommy bloggers" – and a request – "Linda! Can you make that no budget line a pin?" So I did. Feel free to pin away.
It's no surprise to anyone that having a blogger's seal of approval on your product is highly desired and potentially lucrative. Smart marketers realize that the key to getting bloggers on your side is to build the strong foundation for a relationship that will lead to advocacy.
That's easy to understand, right?
The WHY and HOW of building that relationship is key – and not always easy to understand. That's OK – bloggers are more than willing to help you out with that.
1. No gimmicks, please. We see through that. Your product should resonate with us – and if it doesn't then we probably aren't your crowd. Or your branding is way off. If you have to wave a flag and act like a clown in front of our faces to get our attention then you are obviously on the wrong track. Fun and engaging sells, but silly and stupid comes across as unprofessional.
2. Know how to work with bloggers before you send that first email. Do your research ahead of time. I don't just mean research the blogger, but research the industry. Have a clear understanding of what is going on – how are campaigns run and how can you be perceived as "a marketer who gets it".
3. Follow industry best practices. That means know your stuff AND their stuff too. Be aware of rules around content, required disclosure and platform terms of service to make sure that your bloggers are in compliance. If they get in trouble, your relationship is kaput and you could be in trouble as well. And if they aren't following best practices you probably don't want to work with them anyway.
4. If you open the lines of communication for the love of bacon keep those lines open and remain transparent. Bloggers aren't in business to promote you and make you look good, unless you pay them to do so. They are in the business of blogging, probably because they love IT. If they end up loving YOU, consider yourself lucky. With the exception of a rare few they AREN'T making tons of money on their blogs. And in most cases, unless you are forking over the dough, they aren't writing for you, traffic or exposure – they write for them and for their audience. If they genuinely love your product or service they will be more willing to work WITH you. To this day if a Suave pitch shows up in my email I get giddy. $2 shampoo. And I love it. Weber Shandwick was the first agency to actively engage with me (in 2009) and I've been a loyal Suave shampooer ever since.
There are so many more tips to marketing effectively to bloggers to build those relationships and I welcome anyone with other ideas to post in the comments. Let's hear your thoughts.

Effective 1 July 2012, Dr. Michael Haidinger (51) is to be the new member of the Executive Board of Tognum AG responsible for sales.
This was decided by the company's Supervisory Board at its meeting yesterday evening unanimously. He succeeds Peter Kneipp (52), who left the Executive Board at the end of February 2012 by mutual agreement to pursue a new professional challenge.
Dr. Haidinger is currently President of Rolls-Royce Deutschland and a member of the Supervisory Board of Tognum AG. He will step down from both positions at the latest when he is appointed as the new Chief Sales Officer of Tognum AG. With his appointment to the Tognum Executive Board, Dr. Michael Haidinger will assume responsibility for the Engines and Onsite Energy business units in addition to the global distribution and service business, duties currently being performed on an interim basis by Joachim Coers, the Chairman of the Tognum Executive Board.
Joachim Coers: "With Michael Haidinger, we have acquired an extremely experienced manager with many years of success on an international level, who is currently responsible at Rolls-Royce for 3,500 employees at six plants in Germany, the UK and both North and South America. With his help, we will continue to implement our growth strategy at Tognum in a consistent and systematic manner."

Clandestine Government: During his first full day in the White House, Barack Obama promised he'd brought with him "a new era of open government." Yet again, we have a promise that hasn't been kept.
aclgsAmong the administration's many violations of public trust to recently become public is the Environmental Protection Agency's apparent attempt to keep some of its correspondence hidden from the light of day through the use of aliases.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, for instance, has reportedly used the name "Richard Windsor" to cover her tracks in private emails.
Federal law prohibits the government from using private emails for official communications unless they are appropriately stored and can be tracked. Because things look suspicious at the EPA, the House Science Committee is investigating the possibility that the agency has conducted business it doesn't want the public to see.
On Friday, the committee delivered letters to the EPA and "various agency inspectors general" seeking to find out if "senior personnel have been conducting official business through secretive means such as aliases and private email accounts."
The letters, sent by committee Republican members, express concern that "senior Obama Administration appointees" might be violating the Federal Records Act, Freedom of Information Act, the Presidential Records Act, and "other statutes designed to facilitate transparency and oversight."
Nearly two months ago, the Competitive Enterprise Institute sued the EPA over its refusal to produce information about the creation and use of secondary email accounts set up for the agency's top level officials.
On Oct. 1, CEI said it "first learned of these non-public accounts from a previous Freedom of Information Act request that it filed earlier in the year after reading of it in a report by the Government Accountability Office."
That FOIA request revealed a 2008 memo that disclosed the existence of "little-known secondary email accounts created under Clinton-Gore administrator, and later Obama 'energy and environment czar' Carol Browner."
CEI said the memo acknowledged that EPA "is unable to recreate most of the accounts' usage histories."
CEI filed three freedom of information requests in May, seeking information about "certain correspondence on the secondary email account assigned to" Jackson. So far, the government, acting as if it's an authority unto itself, has not cooperated with CEI's reasonable and legal request for the Jackson emails.
What could possibly be in these emails that the Obama administration wants to keep covered up?
Maybe the correspondence is related to the 7,300 internal emails that CEI sued the Treasury Department last week to produce.

Middle East: The transition to Saudi Arabia's new King Salman after the Friday death of his brother, King Abdullah, was smooth and immediate. But beneath the seeming stability is potential for disaster. Saudi Arabia has been, by all appearances, for many decades and in a great many ways a rock of ...
