The fictional Star Trek franchise is composed mostly of hundreds of hours of television programming:
Note that the series' serialized structure means that many plot threads and conflicts span multiple episodes, in particular the first six episodes of the sixth season and the series' last nine episodes (referred to collectively as the "Final Chapter").
Note that the series adopted a serialized, arc form during its third and fourth seasons, with all episodes of season three (along with one season two episode and three season four episodes) being considered one long arc called the Xindi Arc. The series' fourth season also consisted primarily of two- and three-episode story arcs, most of which are listed above.

Workshops incorporate audience participation through active means, eliciting discussion while at the same time providing a more "hands-on" approach. For example, a workshop meant to teach painting may guide the audience through the process by having instructors provide directions and feedback to members of the audience as they paint. Another workshop about the game Go may cover the history of the game and teach audience members how to play as they go through examples and ultimately play amongst themselves.
Before submitting as a workshop, ask yourself: will my audience actively participate during my presentation?
If you are still unsure whether your submission qualifies as a workshop or a panel, submit the form as a workshop, and, if the reviewing staff determines it would be better suited as a panel, we'll pass it along to the appropriate parties.
If you are a prior Otakon presenter (one who has successfully presented a workshop at a previous Otakon) and you plan on submitting your workshop idea, PLEASE DO NOT PRE-REGISTER! Returning Presenters will be receiving compensated memberships to Otakon 2014 if their workshop submission is accepted. If you have already pre-registered for Otakon 2014, you will receive a post-convention refund of your Otakon 2014 membership fee. Instructions for receiving your post-Otakon refund will be provided after Otakon 2014.
If you are a prospective Otakon presenter (one who has never successfully presented a workshop at Otakon) please Pre-Register for Otakon 2014. If your idea is selected, then upon successful completion of your panel, you will become eligible for a post-convention refund of your Otakon 2014 membership fee. Instructions for receiving your post-Otakon refund will be provided after Otakon 2014.
Most workshops require more than just the standard room equipment that we provide for all presenters. This is not only acceptable, but encouraged. It is important; however, that the Otakon staff knows what you plan to bring so that we can prepare accordingly.
Furthermore, Otakorp can provide certain materials necessary for the successful completion of your workshop. We would be more than happy to provide items such as markers, paints, clay, and other, more specialized items like awls.
Be sure to include this information on your application form under the relevant section. Whether you are going to brings things yourself, or whether you hope we can provide them - we have to know!
New W9 Requirements for 2014!:
All selected panelists for Otakon 2014 will be required to complete and turn in an IRS form W9 form in order to receive pre-con compensation or reimbursement for their membership to Otakon 2014!
The reason for the W9 is that for tax purposes the IRS requires all non-profits to record money that is sent to all individuals and corporations. This includes membership reimbursements for first time panelists.
By requesting that former presenters complete a W9, we are essentially covering our bases. If you do not wish to receive a membership reimbursement or comped membership you do not have to fill out and submit the form. We apologize for the inconvenience levied upon all of us by our dear old Uncle Sam.
Presenters of successful workshops will generally qualify for a post-convention membership reimbursement. There is a limit of 3 compensated or reimbursed presenters per workshop. This would comprise of the primary presenter and two assistants. NOTE: anyone receiving membership compensation must actively assist in the running of your workshop. If it is found that a compensated member did not participate, you may be denied membership reimbursements and your future workshop submissions will be denied. You are welcome to have more presenters in your workshop, however, only 3 will receive compensated or reimbursed memberships to Otakon 2014.
For questions not related to submitting a workshop for Otakon 2014, you may contact the Workshopss Department via the Otakon Contact Form.

Thrush and the Newborn
Oral thrush, also known as candidiasis, is a fungal or yeast infection that can occur in newborns and in people with weakened immune systems. Oral thrush is caused by an overgrowth of a fungus called Candida, which is normally found on the skin or in mucous membranes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms of thrush include cracks in the corners of the mouth and white or yellow raised areas on the lips, tongue and palate.

Almost EVERY package supports > DESTDIR, we should be marking the ones that do NOT support it. The more I think about it, I don't think we should mention the ones that do. And here is why. DESTDIR doesn't work on some packages if you do not run make install as root*. And if you are running it as root, nothing will prevent a file being installed somewhere other than DESTDIR. You really have to know what you are doing if you want a true DESTDIR installation. * Some don't work if you are not the root user is because regular users cannot set suid or guid if the program needs it (and it silently fails in many cases), or give proper ownership to files that should belong to a user created during the installation. In another case, GTK+-2 will not install all files using DESTDIR because it runs a command at the end of the installation that silently fails (creation of /etc/gtk-pixbuf.loaders and /etc/gtk.immodules. So bottom line is I think DESTDIR is something we should stay away from due to the tremendous amount of work it would take to bring all the packages in line, and figure out nuances of each one. In a destdir installation, even root will not copy suid files or files owned by users other than root properly unless you use cp --preserve=mode,ownership. Oh yeah, there is that issue with /usr/share/dir. Do we really want to get involved with explaining all these little weird things about DESTDIR? Don't get me wrong, I use DESTDIR, and create a tarball of DESTDIR before I install it, so I am really careful and an familiar with all the little tricks that need to be done (Perl and the .packlist file for example). -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.24] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 22.214.171.124 i686] 15:53:00 up 6 days, 4:59, 1 user, load average: 0.04, 0.14, 0.25

GlobalPost correspondents chime in with their overlooked picks for this year's Best Foreign Film.
on weighty issues such as race and politics while being very, very funny. The film stars Riaad Moosa, who in real life quit being a medical doctor to pursue comedy.
Technically this movie wouldn't qualify for the foreign language film category at the Oscars — it's in English. But, eish, those South African accents can be thick!
— Erin Conway-Smith in Johannesburg
5) "The Clown" (Brazil)
"The Clown," a 2011 film by Selton Mello, was Brazil's official entry this year in the foreign Oscar nominations. It was a worthy choice by the Brazilian Ministry of Culture.
The film is Mello's second, and in a brilliant casting choice he stars as the main protagonist. It's not just a beautiful film to watch — poetically shot and paced just right — it also does justice to clowns everywhere by treating the profession as a complex and nuanced metier that explores some of the deepest, oldest questions about why we are here and what we're supposed to do with ourselves.
The film's main storyline follows father-and-son duo Benjamin and Valdemar (their clown names are Pangare and Puro Sangue) as they travel the country in a circus troupe. The tension comes from Benjamin's shattering sense that he is no longer funny. His efforts to come to grips with this fear and his increasing longing for stability are what everyone, not just clowns, can relate to powerfully.
— Marie Doezema in Paris
6) "Mystery" (China)
Debuted at Cannes, this atmospheric thriller was the first film by envelope-pushing director Lou Ye since he received a five-year ban for making a film that depicted incidents at Tiananmen Square.
The film's backstory provides a good part of the interest: During the first cut, China's government censors made Lou eliminate a sex scene and a scene depicting the murder of an indigent with a hammer. Then, shortly before the Cannes debut, Lou was told to make further cuts. He balked, denouncing the censors on social media. At last he complied, but protested the cuts by removing his name from the final version.
"I accept that I'm a film director working in an era of censorship. I just want dialogue, not confrontation," he said.
Apart from the politics, "Mystery" itself has been well-received: a dark and technically sophisticated, if somewhat overwrought, drama among the contemporary noveaux-riches of smoggy, colossal Wuhan. Lou Ye has marked himself as an outspoken director worth watching.
— Benjamin Carlson in Hong Kong
7) "Caesar Must Die" (Italy)
Italy's choice for the foreign-language Oscar was "Caesar Must Die," a raw docu-drama featuring a troupe of high-security prisoners preparing for a production of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." The actors include drug smugglers, murderers and Mafiosi, and the film is shot entirely within the walls of Rome's Rebibbia prison. The result is a claustrophobic classic. It's not easy viewing, but there are surprising dashes of humor. Veteran directors Paolo and Vittorio Taviani switch from scenes of the inmates' impassioned interpretation of ancient Roman mayhem to intimate shots of rehearsals within the confines of their cells. Shot mostly in a grainy black and white, the movie grabbed the top prize at this year's Berlin Film Festival. Salvatore Striano pulls off the standout performance as Brutus. He's now a professional actor, after serving his sentence and turning his back on a career with Naples' Camorra mob. "Caesar Must Die" doesn't shove its redemption-through-art message in your face — the intensity of the performances means it doesn't have to.
— Paul Ames in Brussels
8) "Pieta" (South Korea)
"Pieta," a South Korean film directed by the well-known filmmaker Kim Ki-duk and shown at Cannes, should have made the list. The twisted and churlish flick is a commentary on the Korean underworld, telling the story of a loan shark who dwells in a gritty industrial neighborhood. Residents barter their limbs in exchange for cash. When they don't pay, he cuts off their hands and throws people off buildings. One day, a woman claiming to be his mother shows up at the door, offering her unconditional love — even after he rapes her. The soulless gangster eventually falls under her charm. It's a commentary on the

The neutrality of this article is disputed. (August 2012) |
Brazilian hair straightening treatments (also called Breezilian Brazilian Keratin Treatment, BKT, Brazilian Blowout, Escova Progressiva, Keratin Cure or Keratin Straightening) are a method of temporarily straightening hair by sealing a liquid keratin and a preservative solution into the hair with a hair iron. It has been banned in several countries including Canada[1] and the European Union[2] due to high concentrations of regulated chemicals in them. It is performed in the United States, though there are regulations and have been controversies regarding the treatment.
Brazilian hair straightening treatments eliminate frizz, straighten the hair and last about three months.[citation needed] They cost about $150–$600 depending on the hair length. These keratin-based treatments are performed on all types of chemically-treated (bleached, hi-lights, coloured, permed, relaxed or previously straightened) and virgin hair. The technique of the application is similar to the Japanese Yuko System in the way that heated flat irons are used to close the product into the hair cuticle.[citation needed]
These treatments aim to straighten curls and waves and to reduce frizz. The treatments do not guarantee completely straight hair, although if performed correctly they can reduce between 50 and 80 percent of the curl depending on the original hair texture. Treatments last around 10–12 weeks and repeating the treatment every few months will allow for treatment of new growth. Depending on the treatment used downtime after it is performed ranges from no-wait to a 72-hour period in which the recipient cannot wash or wet the hair, exercise, tuck the hair behind the ears, or pin it up with any hair clip, pony tail holder or headband, as doing so may compromise the result of the treatment.[citation needed]
It's known in the European Union as Alisado brasileño, which has increased its popularity over the last 4 years bringing up more beauty salons practicing this technique which has a price up to €400 a session. It is also confused or mistaken for keratina but this is another hair treatment.[citation needed]
Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a hazard alert[3] and created an informational site[4] in response to an investigation into complaints from stylists and hair salon owners about exposure to formaldehyde while using hair smoothing products such as: Brazilian Blowout (Acai Professional Smoothing Solution, Professional Brazilian Blowout Solution), Brasil Cacau Cadiveu, Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy (Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment, Express Blow Out, Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment Blonde), and Marcia Teixeira (Advanced Brazilian Keratin Treatment, Extreme De-Frizzing Treatment). OSHA conducted air sampling at multiple salons and found formaldehyde in the air when stylists were using hair smoothing products. Some of these products were labeled "formaldehyde free" or did not list formaldehyde on the product label or in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). In most cases, where the label did not state that the product had formaldehyde in it, OSHA found that hair salon owners using those products did not know that hair smoothing products contain or could expose workers to formaldehyde because manufacturers, importers, and distributors did not include the correct hazard warnings on the product's label or MSDS.
During Federal OSHA investigations, air tests showed formaldehyde at levels above OSHA's limits in salons using Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution, labeled "formaldehyde free," and Brasil Cacau Cadiveu. Both Federal and State OSHA have found violations at several manufacturers, importers, and distributors (GIB LLC dba Brazilian Blowout, Keratronics Inc., Pro Skin Solutions, M&M International Inc., Copomon, INOVA Professional). The violations include failing to list formaldehyde as a hazardous ingredient on the MSDS (the hazard warning sheet) provided to downstream users (e.g., salon owners, stylists), failing to include proper hazard warnings on product labels, and failing to list the health effects of formaldehyde exposure on the MSDS. Labels must include ingredient and hazard warning information and the MSDS must provide users with information about the chemicals in a product, the hazards to workers, and how to use a product safely.
If salon owners decide to use products that may contain or release formaldehyde, then they must follow the requirements in OSHA's formaldehyde and hazard communication standards to protect worker safety. Requirements include steps such as testing salon air during treatments to determine formaldehyde levels, providing adequate ventilation and appropriate personal protective equipment for workers performing treatments, and training workers on the hazards of formaldehyde. Failure to follow the requirements of the formaldehyde and hazard communication standards has consequences. As part of OSHA's enforcement duties, the agency issues citations to five manufacturers, three distributors, two beauty schools and 42 salon owners.[5] Citations were issued for reasons including, but not limited to: failing to communicate the hazards of exposure to formaldehyde, formaldehyde levels were above the OSHA 15-minute short term exposure level, and not following the requirements of OSHA's formaldehyde standard.
California Attorney General Kamala Harris announced a settlement with GIB LLC dba Brazilian Blowout requiring a payment of $600,000 in fines and changes to Brazilian Blowout Acai Smoothing Solution and the Brazilian Blowout Professional Smoothing Solution MSDS and labeling.[6] Under the terms of the settlement, GIB is required to:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that Brazilian Blowouts are hazardous to the health of the women who use them and the hairdressers who apply them.[7]
Concerns over the presence of formaldehyde in various hair smoothing products at significant concentrations centered whether methylene glycol could legally be synonymous with formaldehyde. Anhydrous formaldehyde gas readily dissolves in and reacts with water to form an equilibrium solution of methylene glycol. When heated, the equilibrium shifts and favors the production of formaldehyde and water. Thus, the manufacturer of Brazlian Blowout argued that methylene glycol is in their products, not formaldehyde, and therefore they can claim that their product was formaldehyde-free. The first involves nomenclature. The second issue is the method by which formaldehyde concentration is measured. The third involves measurements of formaldehyde concentration in bottles of the product in which the reported concentration is dependent upon both the method of measurement and nomenclature. However, the company reached a settlement with the state of California and is no longer claiming their products are formaldehyde free.[6]
The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)[8] lists formaldehyde (50-00-0[9]) and methylene glycol (463-57-0[10]) as two different substances. The compounds have two different chemical structures, exist in two different chemical families and exhibit different physical properties. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with chemical structure HCHO. Formaldehyde is a listed carcinogen.[11] NTP notes methylene glycol as the primary chemical form of formaldehyde in water. When heat is applied in the Brazilian blowout process causes the methylene glycol to dehydrate, yielding formaldehyde gas and water vapours.
The Brazilian Blowout company (GIB LLC) has argued that Eastwood's lab and government labs in California and Oregon performed improper tests to determine formaldehyde concentration, arguing instead that an NMR Spectroscopy test is superior.
Some manufacturers of products containing formaldehyde and methylene glycol have complained that the method of testing for formaldehyde—which does not distinguish between formaldehyde and methylene glycol—is not a reliable indicator of the toxicity of the product.
The American Chemistry Council issued an official statement, where they stated the following: "Formaldehyde content—in both gaseous and aqueous forms—should be accounted for when measuring the formaldehyde content of a product. (...) Federal OSHA correctly defines formaldehyde as 'formaldehyde gas, its solutions, and materials that release formaldehyde.' This comprehensive standard is the cornerstone for the protection of people who work with and around formaldehyde."[12]
Performing air quality monitoring tests to detect the levels of formaldehyde gas in the air at the place of application can give an indication to the seriousness of the health problem the salon workers and customers are (sometimes involuntarily) exposed to.
In September 2010, Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (OR-OSHA) received complaints of difficulty breathing, nose bleeds and eye irritation from stylists in one salon who claimed to have used one such hair treatment as directed. Oregon OSHA conducted air sampling in salons during this product's treatments. The 8-hour average exposures ranged from 0.006 parts per million (ppm) to 0.33, below the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 0.75ppm. The short-term exposures ranged from 0.11ppm to 1.88ppm, also below the Short Term Exposure Limit of 2.0ppm.[13]
HPLC tests on batches of this product from three different Oregon hair salons allegedly determined that there were high levels of formaldehyde.[13] Oregon OSHA subsequently broadened their warning to include other hair-smoothing products, particularly those described as "keratin-based," and said employers should take steps to protect their workers, while still relying on improper testing and nomenclature methods.[14]
One manufacturer responded by issuing a statement to Good Morning America in which it accused Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division of gross negligence because OSHA violated the proper testing protocol by using HPLC rather than using NMR Spectroscopy and using incorrect nomenclature, thereby invalidating the findings. It subsequently filed suit against Oregon OSHA.[15] In the lawsuit, the manufacturer maintains that their products, when used as directed, fall well below the federally mandated Action Level (AL), Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), and Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) safety levels. They released their own Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which have been disputed by several subsequent tests of their products by the FDA, Environmental Working Group, and OSHAs.[16][17]
Several products contain other aldehydes and other derivative compounds that when heated to a temperature of 230 °C are chemically converted into formaldehyde as well as other toxic compounds.
Adverse events have reported the following injuries associated with Brazilian Blowout: eye disorders (irritation, increased lacrimation, blurred vision, hyperaemia); nervous system disorders (headache, burning sensation, dizziness, syncope), and respiratory tract (dyspnea, cough, nasal discomfort, epistaxis, wheezing, rhinorrhea, throat irritation, nasopharyngitis). Other reported symptoms included nausea, hypotrichosis, chest pain, chest discomfort, emesis, and rash.[18]
Girard Gibbs' false advertising lawyers have filed a class action lawsuit alleging that Brazilian Blowout violated California law by advertising its Brazilian Blowout hair straightening product as safe and formaldehyde free, when it has been found to contain significant amounts of formaldehyde, as NTP defines a "known to be human carcinogen." Other companies have also filed class-action suits against producers of Brazilian Blowout treatments. [19] [20] [21]
Products containing reaction products of acetophenone, formaldehyde, cyclohexylamine, methanol and acetic acid (EC No 406-230-1), 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorcyclohexanes. Products containing any aldehydes more than 0,001% in leave-on products or 0,01% in rinse-off products must list the ingredients explicitly in their product labels.[22]
In October 2011, the consulting firm ChemRisk, LLC published a study in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene that also found that some hair-smoothing products, including some labeled formaldehyde-free, contain formaldehyde and could expose workers and customers to formaldehyde at levels above OSHA's short term exposure limit (STEL).[23] ChemRisk's tests showed that Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution contained 11.5% formaldehyde, Global Keratin Juvexin Optimized Functional Keratin contained 8.3% formaldehyde, and Coppola Keratin Complex Blonde Formula contained 3% formaldehyde. Of these, only Global Keratin lists formaldehyde on its label. However, the Global Keratin label indicated it contained less than 4% formaldehyde, less than half of what was found in the product during testing. ChemRisk also tested the air while a stylist performed a simulated treatment process using each product. Formaldehyde was found in the air during all three simulations. During the simulation with Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution, formaldehyde levels were above OSHA's 15-minute STEL during blow drying.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on October 8, 2010 that it "was working with state and local organizations, as well as OSHA, to determine whether the products or ingredients would be likely to cause health problems under the intended conditions of use. The composition of the products and the labeling, including use instructions and any warning statements, will be factors in this determination. One safety issue we'll be evaluating is whether formaldehyde may be released into the air after the product is applied to the hair and heated."[17]
On August 22, 2011, the FDA issued its first warning letter to this same manufacturer, telling the company to stop labeling its products as formaldehyde-free, which it considers misleading, and stating that its products are "misbranded" and "adulterated."[18]
The manufacturer responded with a ten-page letter to the FDA, challenging the FDA's assertions that the product was not adulterated because it did not contain formaldehyde, but methylene glycol, and that the FDA was also relying on incorrect nomenclature methods. Therefore, the product was not misbranded because it was, in fact, formaldehyde-free. However, the company voluntarily altered its label to remove the claim that the product was formaldehyde-free, saying it "is committed to ensuring that its products comply with all applicable legal and regulatory standards and seeks to partner with the FDA to achieve this result".[24]

EU should push for best technology
Organization: Solid Quality Mentors
EU to push patent-free eGovernment
Regarding 'EU to push patent-free eGovernment':
When discussing eGovernment and interoperability, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are often overlooked. The fact is that innovative SMEs such as mine play a role that is at least as important as any of the so-called 'software giants'.
Effective eGovernment requires innovative, tailored and flexible solutions. European SMEs are well-placed to offer the most competent IT solutions – but for that we need an environment receptive to innovation which allows the best technology to compete on an equal basis.
For example, competing against Open Source solutions, and using our knowledge about the Microsoft Platform, we were able to cut the total cost of ownership of a Human Resources solution for a Spanish Regional Government to less than 20% of the total cost of the equivalent Open Source solution. At the same time, their payroll process improved from hours to minutes, without requiring any significant investment in hardware or software, due to better design and appropriate performance tuning.
We could have not achieved these results if we were constrained by an Open Source platform, and the customer would have not benefited from the improvements we were able to provide. The decision of this regional government to not limit their options to Open Source only has improved their processes and saved the money of their citizens.
Policies should not limit procurement options by excluding certain technologies and giving preferential access to open source. They should analyse which specific tools perform better in the most cost-effective manner – even more so in the current economic situation. Only then can we be ready to offer the best solutions on the market.
If the EIF includes a preference for open standards, many technologies will be excluded from participating in the procurement process, thus limiting competition and diminishing the opportunity for innovative and cost-effective solutions.

AFC South links: Weighing in on 'MJD'
June, 12, 2012
By ESPN.com staff | ESPN.com
Houston Texans
Rookies and younger players will get most of the field time as the Texans open a three-day minicamp Tuesday. This will prove to be especially important for the team's young receivers.
Indianapolis Colts
General manager Ryan Grigson hasn't been able to rebuild his roster using traditional methods. "I feel like digging is one of my strong suits, digging and not caring what anybody else thinks or what the perception is," said Grigson.
The team is hoping to capitalize on an open house at Lucas Oil Stadium during this week's minicamp to sell season tickets.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel: "Was Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Gene Smith joking when he was talking about Maurice Jones-Drew's contract on Monday? He must have been. I mean, come on, no NFL GM could possibly be as hypocritical as Smith when he was asked about Jones-Drew, the NFL's leading rusher, wanting to renegotiate his contract."
Chet Fussman says there is no pressure for the Jaguars to give in to Jones-Drew.
Tennessee Titans
When announcing his retirement Monday, Derrick Mason made a point to pay homage to Steve McNair. "I can't leave without thanking Steve," Mason said. "Him and I, more or less, grew up together in the game of football my first eight years and one here. Because of him, my numbers are what they are. Because he looked for me, he trusted me, he counted on me. I hope I never failed him. He will always be No. 1 with me."
Coach Mike Munchak will host a bowling event Thursday to support a cause close to him.

Lots of compliments
A Fall Classic Rectangle Invitations Got lots of compliments so far regarding our invites. It was perfect since, we are a gay (male) couple looking for a "guys'" wedding invite. Also was perfect because we are having our reception in a suite at a professional minor league baseball game instead of having the typical DJ dancing reception. That fact that we were able to change the stadium pic to one we took and not include a face pic of ourselves was a major plus!!! Would recommend to anyone looking for a non-traditional, fun invite.
Diamonds are Forever Save the Date Magnets These STDs were the most affordable I could find...Magnet Street's prices blew everyone else's away. I couldn't believe I was able to buy so many STD MAGNETS for such a great price!! I was able to customize them so they were EXACTLY what I wanted. They shipped them out quickly and they arrived in a gorgeous box along with a beautiful notebook full of Magnet Street's wedding stationary and samples of their invitations. I was BLOWN AWAY by the presentation!! Not only that, but they had the unusual designs (baseball) we were looking for. And the magnets were such amazing quality!! They looked like we had spent a TON of money!! I cannot say enough good things about this product!! I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!! :)
Very well done
Diamonds are Forever Save the Date Magnets We got exactly what we wanted in our save the date magnets. I will recommend this to all my friends that are getting married soon. Excellent job!!!
AWESOME "Tennis-Themed" card personalized as Rehearsal Dinner invites!
Love of Tennis Save the Date Cards The "Love of Tennis" save-the-date cards are so AWESOME! My fiancé and I actually personalized them as our rehearsal dinner invites since it was going to be "tennis-themed", and we absolutely LOVE how great they turned out! We previously bought our save-the-dates and wedding invites from MagnetStreet, and plan on buying the rest of our wedding stationary needs from them in the future because they make everything so easy, and the quality of their products speaks for itself. Plus, shipping is so fast! ?
Love these
Diamonds are Forever Save the Date Magnets These turned out great! Goes really great with the theme for the rehearsel dinner.

someone mention if you replace it yourself it will void the warrentyAnybody know of a place where I can order the Lone Wolf Extractor? I might try it before I send it back to Glock.
This is a discussion on Disappointed with Glock within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Anybody know of a place where I can order the Lone Wolf Extractor? I might try it before I send it back to Glock. someone ...
someone mention if you replace it yourself it will void the warrentyAnybody know of a place where I can order the Lone Wolf Extractor? I might try it before I send it back to Glock.
I was reading the threads about Glocks ejection problems last night is this just a glock 17, 19 /9 mm problem? I have a 23 4th Generation that I carry daily and have no issue with brass ejecting in face and have shoot over 1000 rounds thru it, or am i just lucky so far...
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless
Wow; I guess I've been off the grid for awhile.
I remember well the day back in 2005 when I was right smack in the middle of a Glock match, well on my way to winning the match (and a nice Glock pistol) when the steel block in the frame of the gun snapped in half while I was running the plate rack and completely seized up the G34 I was shooting; Chris Edwards was standing right there talking up an Armorer from SAPD and a couple of other LEOs trying to make a sale I guess. Needless to say, Chris and the Glock Armorer tried for 2 hours to get the slide off the gun to no avail; they ended up damaging the frame getting it apart, so Chris replaced the gun on the spot, apologizing profusely, and giving me a case of PMC ammo for my trouble. That G34 had less than 200 rounds through it when that happened, and the replacement has been flawless.
But make no mistake, all guns fail, even the mighty Glock........
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
I talked to Glock today and they said I have two options; To either have a Glock Armorer call and order the parts, or to send my gun into them. I asked what the issue was and he said that it is the ejector not the extractor and that there is no extractor problem in the Gen 3 G26. So I guess I will try to find a Glock Armorer to order the parts for me.
It's still with them, I am just repeating what the tech agreed to do, which was that at a minimum they would replace the ejector and extractor.
I am glad you called them and got the same response I did about the ejector. I thought about having them send the new parts to my local Glock armorer, but I absolutely refuse to pay a Glock armorer 40 bucks to do a 5 minute parts swap - which is my local guys minimum labor charge - for the sole reason that if Glock sends them parts directly they have to be the ones to put it in the gun. So I ended up having them send a free shipping label and will simply allow them to do it so that I don't have to pay for anything. I also specified in an addendum to the warranty sheet that they fire a minimum of 100 rounds through the gun, and that if the gun was unable to be satisfactorily fixed that I wanted a new production G19 Gen 4. I was a little demanding.
"Brilliant. So now we got a huge guy theory, and a serial crusher theory. Top notch. What's your name?" - Paul Smecker
Don't like getting hit with hot brass? Get a revolver. Problem solved.
No, I haven't had any of those problems with the Glocks I've fired. Had it happen a couple times with my Taurus, but it's few and far between. I'm sorry to hear that you're having a problem- it sucks having problems with new guns.
"Gun control should mean hitting your target every time."
Please try to remember- I have a very dry sense of humor. It usually sounds mean, but isn't meant to be.
Here is some additional info. My Gen. 3 G19 and Gen. 4 G26 have been flawless.
New 30274 Ejector!
No, it's a grip STRENGTH issue, not a grip issue. Grab the stocks just a bit harder.
Let me ask ya this--which way do the sights go in recoil? That will tell you which hand to up the power on. If you don't know, you may be blinking in addition to the loose rip problem.
"What does Marcellus Wallace LOOK like?"
If I hold my G30 steady enough, all my empites will land in a 5-gallon bucket behind my right shoulder. Guess i'm lucky.
Retired USAF E-8. Lighten up and enjoy life because:
Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid... Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Do yourself a favor, make Glock do all the work. They will change the extractor and ejector at the same time. My Gen 4 seemed like it was tuned to shoot brass either on the top of my forehead or between my eyes. It was fixed when I got it back, but still had weak ejections. For example if I shoot my Colt's or Sig's at an indoor range the brass literally kicks off the side walls of the stall.
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
Might be a 9MM thing. I have a Gen2 27 and a Gen3 23 with no ejection/extraction problems.
Who is John Galt?
Sometimes there's justice, sometimes there's just us...
When political power is up for grabs, personal liberty is usually one of the first casualties
You make a good point. I think I will do the same thing as you did.
My Springfield 1911 hit me dead center or my forehead last night at the range 1st and only time it happened. Left a perfect circle on my forehead. I felt betrayed.
"Gun control should mean hitting your target every time."
Please try to remember- I have a very dry sense of humor. It usually sounds mean, but isn't meant to be.

The first permanent settlement (called Wiltwyck) was established in 1652. Kingston served as the first capital of New York state until it was burned by the British in Oct., 1777. Its growth in the early 19th cent. was stimulated by the Delaware and Hudson Canal. Among notable landmarks are many old Dutch stone houses; the senate house (1676), meeting place of the first New York state legislature; the old Dutch church (1659) and cemetery (1661); the burial place of James Clinton; and nearby "Slabsides," the former cottage of John Burroughs.
2 Borough (1990 pop. 14,507), Luzerne co., NE Pa., on the Susquehanna River opposite Wilkes-Barre; settled 1769, inc. 1857. Although chiefly residential, it has food-products, textiles and apparel, machinery, and furniture industries.
Privately endowed university in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1841 and modeled after the University of Edinburgh. It is a comprehensive research institution, offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees in most major fields. Research facilities include centres for the study of international relations, industrial relations, and natural resources.

City and unitary authority (pop., 2001: 243,595), geographic county of East Riding of Yorkshire, historic county of Yorkshire, England. It lies on the northern bank of the River Humber at its junction with the River Hull, 22 mi (35 km) from the North Sea. Hull was a medieval wool port that passed from the monks of Meaux Abbey to Edward I in 1293. For more than 400 years it was the chief shipping port for the inland waterways converging on the River Humber. Granted city status in 1897, it is a major national seaport, accommodating large oceangoing vessels. The medieval part of the city retains a number of historic buildings; its grammar school was founded in 1486.

City (pop., 1999 est.: metro. area, 655,000), capital and chief port of Jamaica. Located on the southeastern coast of the island, it was founded in 1692 after Port Royal was destroyed by an earthquake. It soon became the commercial centre of Jamaica and was made the political capital in 1872. Historic buildings include a 17th-century church, a moated fortress, and the 18th-century Headquarters House. It is the seat of the University of the West Indies.

Kingston is the capital and largest city of Jamaica and is located on the southeastern coast of the island country. It faces a natural harbour protected by the Palisadoes, a long sand spit which connects Port Royal and the Norman Manley International Airport to the rest of the island. In the Western Hemisphere, Kingston is the largest predominantly English-speaking city south of the United States, with a population of 651,880 (2001 census).
The local government bodies of the parishes of Kingston and St. Andrew were amalgamated by the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation Act of 1923, to form the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation (KSAC). Greater Kingston, or the "Corporate Area" refers to the KSAC; however, it does not solely refer to Kingston Parish, which only consists of the old downtown and Port Royal. Kingston Parish had a population of 96,052, and St. Andrew had a population of 555,828 in 2001.
The city proper is bounded by Six Miles to the west, Stony Hill to the north, Papine to the northeast and Harbour View to the east. Communities in rural St. Andrew such as Gordon Town, Mavis Bank, Lawrence Tavern, Mt. Airy and Bull Bay would not be described as being in Kingston.
Two parts make up the central area of Kingston: the historic but troubled Downtown, and New Kingston. Several reggae stars, including Buju Banton, Sean Paul, Bounty Killer, and Beenie Man, hail from Kingston. Attractions include the nearby Hellshire and Lime Cay beaches, the National Gallery of Jamaica, the ruins of Port Royal, and Devon House, a mansion with adjoining park that once belonged to Jamaica's first black millionaire. Several annual and well-visited festivals are held in Kingston.
Kingston is served by Norman Manley International Airport and also by the smaller and primarily domestic Tinson Pen Aerodrome.
Kingston was founded on July 22, 1692, as a place for refugees for survivors of the 1692 earthquake that destroyed Port Royal. Before the earthquake, Kingston's functions were purely agricultural. The earthquake survivors set up a refugee camp on the sea front. Approximately two thousand people died due to mosquito borne diseases. Initially the refugees lived in a tented camp on Colonel Barry's Hog Crawle. The town did not begin to grow until after the further destruction of Port Royal by the Nick Catania Pirate Fleet's fire in 1703. Surveyor John Goffe drew up a plan for the town based on a grid bounded by North, East, West and Harbour Streets. By 1716 it had become the largest town and the centre of trade for Jamaica. The government sold land to people with the regulation that they would purchase no more than the amount of the land that they owned in Port Royal, and only land on the sea front. Gradually wealthy merchants began to move their residences from above their businesses to the farm lands to the north on the plains of Liguanea.
The first free school, Wolmer's, was founded in 1729 and there was a theatre, first one in Harbour Street and then moved in 1774 to North Parade. Both are still in existence. In 1755 the governor had decided to transfer the government offices from Spanish Town to Kingston. It was thought by some to be an unsuitable location for the Assembly in close proximity to the moral distractions of Kingston, and the next governor rescinded the Act. However, by 1780 the population of Kingston was 11,000, and the merchants began lobbying for the administrative capital to be transferred from Spanish Town, which was by then eclipsed by the commercial activity in Kingston.
At the end of the 18th century, more than 3000 brick buildings were in the city. The harbour fostered trade and naval wars of the 18th century. Kingston took over the functions of Spanish Town (the capital at the time). These functions included, agriculture, commercial, processing, and a main transportation hub to and from Kingston and other sections of the island.
The government passed an act to transfer the government offices to Kingston from Spanish Town, and in 1872 the capital was transferred from Spanish Town to Kingston. It kept this status when the island was granted independence in 1962.
In 1907, 800 people died in another earthquake known as the 1907 Kingston earthquake, destroying nearly all the historical buildings south of Parade in the city. That was when a restriction of no more than 60 feet was instated on buildings in the central business district. These three story high buildings were built with reinforced concrete. Construction on King Street in the city was the first area to breach this building code.
During the 1930s, island wide riots lead to the development of trade unions and political parties to represent workers.
The city became home to the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies founded in 1948 with 24 medical students.
It wasn't till the 1960s that major change occurred in the redevelopment of Kingston's central business district. The international attention of reggae music at that time coincided with the expansion and development of 95 acres of the Downtown Kingston water front area.
These developments lead to an influx of shops and offices, and the development of a new financial center: New Kingston, which replaced the Knutsford Racetrack. Multi-story buildings and boulevards were placed within that section.
In 1966 Kingston was the host city to the Commonwealth Games.
The westward section of the city was not the focus of development, and that area proved to be a tense area in political times. The 1970s then saw deteriorating economic conditions that led to recurrent violence and a drop off in tourism which later affected the island.
In the 1980 general elections, the democratic socialist People's National Party (PNP) government was outvoted. The subsequent governments have been open market oriented since the 1980s. Within a global urban era, the 1990s saw that Kingston has made efforts to modernize and develop its city structure and functions. Various organizations such as The Kingston Restoration Company, the Urban Development Corporation (UDC) and the Port Authority of Jamaica, along with the Port Royal Development Company, among others sought to develop the urban structure of the city.
Today, the city of Kingston sees that the original waterfront area along Harbour Street, once redolent with the aromas of colonial West Indian trade in rums and spices, has been re-developed and shipping has moved out to Newport West, adjacent to the extensive Kingston Industrial Estate.
A great deal of Kingston is pure shanty town, but again one sees striking contrasts, especially in New Kingston, situated between the teeming downtown and mid town areas and the fading but still gracious suburbs of St. Andrew.
The city's wealthy is situated in the suburbs to the northern section of Kingston, closer to the hills and Mountains of the Blue Mountains range. The functions of the wealthy are met with in the New Kingston, Manor Park and Barbican / Liguanea areas, thus the downtown is now used mostly used by the low-income population.
New Kingston is a business area which embodies the best of modern tropical town planning, graciously combining high rise buildings and well-groomed gardens with the soaring Blue Mountains as a backdrop.
The majority of the population is of African heritage. East Indians are the second largest racial group, followed by Chinese, White, Arab (primarily Lebanese). A small number of Hispanics, mostly from Latin America, also reside in the city.
There is a Jewish synagogue in the city as well as a large number of Buddhists and Muslims.
Kingston is surrounded by the Blue Mountains, Red Hills, Long Mountain and the Kingston Harbour. The city is sited on the Liguanea Plain, an alluvial plain located next to the Hope River. Kingston experiences frequent earthquakes, including the 1907 earthquake.
Kingston has a tropical climate, characterized by a wet season from May to November, which coincides with the hurricane season, and a dry season from December to April. During the dry season, there is not much rainfall, however, cold and stationary fronts occur at this time, and often bring heavy showers, especially in March. Kingston is located in the rain shadow of the Blue Mountains, therefore, little to none of the moisture the Northeast Trade Winds carry falls over Kingston, causing Kingston to be very dry in comparison to Portland and Saint Mary on the windward side of the Blue Mountains. Kingston is on a coastal location, hence it comes under the influence of the sea, though dense urban development can negate this effect. In the 21st century, Kingston has experienced temperatures as high as 34°C (93.2°F) and temperatures as low as 25°C (77°F). Between 1895 and 1990, the total average rainfall was recorded at 909.7 mm (35.8 inches), the highest monthly average rainfall recorded in October at 181.1 mm (7.1 inches), and the lowest monthly average rainfall recorded in March at 22.7 mm (0.9 inches).
The Jamaica Constabulary Force, Jamaica's police force, is based on Old Hope Road near Liguanea. Smaller police stations, such as Hunt's Bay, Matilda's Corner and Half-Way-Tree, are dispersed across the Corporate Area. The Supreme Court of Jamaica is also located in Kingston. Other courts, such as the Half-Way-Tree Resident Magistrate's Court, Gun Court, Traffic Court and Family Court, make Kingston their home. The Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) has its headquarters at Up Park Camp near New Kingston and Cross Roads. The JDF also operates a major naval base at Port Royal.
Jamaica has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Every year since 2000 Jamaica has reached over 1000 murders, in which 2005 murder count was 1,674 the highest ever recorded. Almost 46% of murders that occur in Jamaica happen within Kingston, which 95% almost always occur in the depressed garrison neighbourhoods of Downtown Kingston.
The Gleaner Company, the Jamaica Observer and the Sunday Herald, three of Jamaica's large newspaper companies, make their home in Kingston. Several television and radio stations including Television Jamaica (TVJ), CVM TV, RJR 94 FM, Hitz 92 FM, FAME 95 FM, LOVE TV, ZIP 103, Kool 97 FM and LOVE FM, are all based in Kingston. Kingston generally has an adequate telecommunications service, administered by either Cable and Wireless or Flow Jamaica. Cellular phone service is also very strong in Kingston, especially since Cable & Wireless, Digicel and MiPhone, Jamaica's three cellular providers, are all based in the city.
Kingston, as the capital, is the financial, cultural, economic and industrial centre of Jamaica. Many financial institutions are based in Kingston, and the city boasts the largest number of hospitals, schools and cultural attractions of any urban area on the island.

Boys Soccer: Gareth Flynn, Grant Stoneman spark Wheaton Academy to 2A state semifinals
Updated: October 30, 2012 8:06PM
Gareth Flynn always knows his first option, especially on corner kicks. "I always look for Stone [Grant Stoneman] because he's so good in the air," the senior Wheaton Academy forward said.
Stoneman smashed in Flynn's perfectly calibrated corner with a header in the 34th minute that the No. 9 Warriors parlayed into an exciting 1-0 victory over No. 10 Public League standout Lake View in a Class 2A supersectional at Solorio on the Southwest side Tuesday afternoon.
Wheaton Academy (21-6) won for the 15th time in its last 16 games, and advances to the state semifinals Friday at Lincoln-Way North in Frankfort against the winner of the Washington and Peoria Notre Dame game.
The game was as much tactical as anything. With a persistent and ferocious southern wind turning every play into an adventure, Wheaton Academy broke through with the wind. "We knew we had to score with the wind, because going into the wind, it was basically impossible to play a ball over top," Stoneman said.
The Stoneman and Flynn duo is one of the state's most deadly combinations. Stoneman registered his 27th goal of the year, and it was Flynn's 15th assist of the year. "We just have this connection out there, it's almost hard to explain, but we've had it ever since the first game of the year," Flynn said.
Lake View had no answer for the rangy and powerful 6-2 Stoneman. "They took advantage of the wind and their reach, which we couldn't really do anything about, because we're pretty small," star senior Wildcats' forward Eden Crespo said. "They were better than us in the air."
Lake View was denied its second Downstate appearance in the last four years. The Wildcats (13-4-2) finished fourth in Class 2A in 2008. "I really wanted a zero-zero game at the half," Lake View coach Fernando Rodriguez said. "Two things hurt us, the wind and the size of the field. Our strength is playing wide, but this is a narrow field and it really took away what we want to do offensively," he said.
Playing with the wind in the second half, the Wildcats dominated possession time. Even though Crespo was hurt in the opening minute of the second half after getting entangled with a Wheaton Academy defender that forced him to sit out, Lake View controlled possession in the middle of the field.
With the one goal lead, Wheaton Academy shifted its tactics as well, adopting a more defensive-oriented approach. Stoneman dropped in the back, a fifth defender that effectively shut down the lanes and provided little if any room for the Wildcats to operate in the attacking third. "We just didn't have time to get shots off," Crespo said.
Lake View engineered scoring chances though their shots lacked accuracy. "We only got one shot on goal in the second half, the others were off-line," Rodriguez said.
Senior Warriors' keeper Spencer Graf recorded his 13th shutout of the year. "Lake View was a great team, they played hard and I was impressed," Graf said, "but my four on the backline made sure that I didn't really have to touch the ball." Star Warriors' defender Adam Hunt also made an alert play in the closing moments, punching out a ball Crespo was on the verge of blasting toward their net.
Wheaton Academy knew Crespo was the player they needed to neutralize. "He's a very good player," Wheaton Academy coach Jeff Brooke said. "He was very good, especially in the second half. They did some things against us, but fortunately we were able to deny them."
Stoneman lived up to his nickname, solid and impenetrable. He transferred from Burlington Central after leading them to a fourth-place finish in Class 2A as a freshman two years ago. "It's great to get back there," he said.

Decembersville Ch. 41Chapter 41 Betrayal at Kallavient Carnival It was snowing gently now in the woods and the sprinkling sky rolled with small thunder, making everything that has happened twenty minutes ago seem like a distant memory. Everything was calm now and the vehicle Mellon drove made no sound as it slowly and carefully made its way through the snow. Everyone in the spacey back were laughing and frittering and chatting away. Sophia most of all. "Like, at first I thought I was going to die but then Tin's awesome tongue went PSHOO and then it became, like, a tug-of-war thingy!" she blabbed on and on with excitement to the group of freaks as Mellon continued to drive up front. "And then I took out my flashlight and then the weirdo was like 'Ahhhh' and I was like 'YES!' and then we had to jump off the roof and I was like 'Nuh-uh!' but we did! It was soooo neat! I think I want to go parachuting when I get home again!" She hopped a
Decembersville Ch. 42Chapter 42 Clocks and Vultures Campara was adjusting her eye shades (that a certain someone with a metal tongue gave her) in the plaza of the carnival when she heard a familiar, anxious voice call out a few feet behind her. She made a deep sigh of both annoyance and wonder when she turned around to see Tin squeeze and slip through masses of freaks, great anxiety plastered all over his face. He slid on the cobblestone ground to where the mistress stood and he put his hand on her shoulder to support himself while he panted harshly out of exhaustion. "W-w-wait for me, will you please!?" She put on an irritated frown and crossed her arms when he crouched down to put his hands on his knees, still breathing strongly. For about forty minutes he has been chasing and falling behind her as she went off to check new things like an excited tourist. "G-goodness gracious, don't be so quick to lose me!" Still moping sarcastically, Cam

Train Tracks: Family Stories for the Holidays (Paperback)$15.99
Usually Ships in 1-5 days from Our Distributor
DescriptionIn time for the holidays, a celebration of family, home, and tradition by the #1 New York Times bestselling author and superstar media personality The holidays. It's the time when families gather and reflect on the past year, to remember losses, to toast triumphs, to look forward to new beginnings. In the spirit of the season, beloved author and radio host Michael Savage's Train Tracks reminds us how every member of our family--in fact, each individual we encounter through time--contributes essential gifts to our life story. In the title chapter, set in the early 1950s, Savage remembers the excitement and mystery of riding the train from New York's old Penn Station to rural Pennsylvania at the start of the holiday break. Drawn from Savage's own journey from poor immigrant's son to media stardom, these deeply personal true tales show us that even in today's homogenizing times, we are all charting a unique destiny as we journey through life. Train Tracks is an instant holiday classic by an American original--a very special gift to be read and shared as we gather together. |

BRUNSWICK COUNTY -- A parent wants to know their child is safe when riding the school bus home. But two incidents in Brunswick County left one couple upset that their young daughter had to walk down a rural dirt road...after the bus dropped her off.
About a half mile down this dirt road is where Lisa and James Girard live with their children. It's a rural one lane road that snakes through a wooded area, a path they don't want their eight year old daughter walking down alone. But that's what happened twice this school year.
Lisa said, "There's one house out here, and I don't know the people that live in that home, my daughter can be dropped off, she can be picked up by anyone. She's an eight-year-old little girl."
The school bus doesn't drive down the dirt road. It stops near the entrance, where James, Lisa or their older daughter are always waiting. But there have been times the bus beat them there.
"Usually when this happens the bus is early, usually 10-15 minutes early, if they have a child that doesn't ride the bus that day and they're earlier, letting us know that this is going on," Lisa said.
When the Girards complained the school sent transportation safety officers to take pictures of the road, to see if a bus could get to their home. But state statutes, as well as the condition of the road, don't allow it.
"You have to consider we have 60-some-odd kids on a 45-foot-long bus, it's not like taking a jeep down the road," Brunswick County Schools Executive Director of Operations Steve Miley said.
But the Girards say the road isn't the big issue.
"I feel like the school board should be governed by the same laws that I am governed by," Lisa said. "Because if I drop my child off in the middle of nowhere I would lose my child. DSS would come or someone would come and I would lose my child."
Miley offered another solution. "if she contacts school we'll bring the child back to her school and basically monitor it, take care of it until they can pick it up."
James said, "That would be great, I would rather them do that than to drop them off here in the middle of nowhere, that's common sense."
The Girards called the school to ask that the driver not to leave their daughter if no one is waiting.
Bobby Taylor, the director of transportation, says the district is looking into a system in the future that has a GPS tracking system for school buses. It would actually call parents a few minutes to let them know the bus is on the way. But it is very costly.

The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.
Education is the ability to listen almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.
If you wait to be GIVEN something in life, you are in for a lifelong wait.
A problem is a chance for you to do your best.
Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is.
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family.
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.
No man will succeed unless he is ready to face and overcome difficulties and prepared to assume responsibilities.
Power is the ability to influence the decisions of others.
Patience is the key to paradise.
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it.
A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
Give the world the best you have, and the best will come to you.
Life is too deep for words. so don't try to describe it - just live it.
Put your heart, mind, intellect and soul even to your smallest acts. That is the secret to success.
