Fifth Third Continues Strong Commercial Loan Growth (Update 1)
- First-quarter net income to common shareholders of $413 million, or 46 cents a share.
- Earnings beat the consensus EPS estimate of 39 cents.
- Excluding special items, first-quarter EPS drops slightly to 44 cents.
- Average commercial and industrial loans grow 6% sequentially.
- Mortgage banking revenue drops 15% from Q4.
- Expenses drop 16% from Q4, when the company paid $87 million, or 9 cents a share after tax, to repay FHLB debt.
- Net interest margin down to 3.42% in Q1, from 3.49% the previous quarter and 3.56% a year earlier.
Updated from 7:41 a.m. ET with afternoon market action and comment from Jefferies analyst Ken Usdin.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB - Get Report) on Thursday reported continued strong growth of coveted commercial and industrial loans, with average balances in the first quarter increasing 6% sequentially and 16% year over year.
The Cincinnati-based regional lender reported first-quarter net income attributable to common shareholders of $413 million, or 46 cents a share, compared to $390 million, or 43 cents a share, in the fourth quarter, and $421 million, or 45 cents a share, in the first quarter of 2012.
The first-quarter results included a benefit of roughly $22 million, or 2 cents a share after taxes, on the valuation of the company's warrant holds in Vantiv (VNTV - Get Report), Fifth Third's former payment processing subsidiary, which was spun off in 2009. The results for the first quarter of 2012 had been boosted by positive adjustments of roughly $90 million, or 10 cents a share after taxes, on Vantiv shares and warrants. Excluding the special items, Fifth Third said its first-quarter earnings came to 44 cents a share, increasing 22% from a year earlier. First-quarter tax-adjusted net interest income was $893 million, declining from $903 million in the fourth quarter and $907 million in the first quarter of 2012. Fifth Third said the sequential decline in net interest income mainly reflected the lower number of days in the first quarter. The year-over-year decline came from a lower net interest margin, which is the spread between the average yield on loans and investments and the average cost for deposits and borrowings. The first-quarter net interest margin was 3.42%, narrowing from 3.49% the previous quarter and 3.56% a year earlier. First-quarter noninterest income totaled $743 million, declining from $880 million in the fourth quarter, and from $769 million in the first quarter of 2012. The declines mainly reflected a $157 gain on the sale of Vantiv shares in the fourth quarter, and $115 million in gains from Vantiv's initial public offering in the first quarter of 2012. Mortgage banking net revenue totaled $220 million in the first quarter, declining from $258 million in the fourth quarter, but increasing from $204 million in the first quarter of 2012. Mortgage loan originations in the first quarter were a record $7.4 billion, increasing from $7 billion the previous quarter and $6.4 billion a year earlier. Mortgage income declined because of a decline in gains on the sale of newly originated loans in the secondary market.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Race Results - Cheltenham & County CC
Cheltenham & County CC - Women's National Series - UK - 56miles (90km) The race rolled out up a 12% climb within the first 1km of neutralised riding. The riders were stopped and re-grouped just before joining the circuit for the start-proper, which was 45km long - to be covered twice - doubtless a relief to the riders who faced the tough climbs "only" twice. At 6 miles everything was still together, but by the top of the KIlkenney climb at 7.5 miles, there were 2 riders away - Nina Davies and Katrina Hair - teammates in the forthcoming Ster Walcheran (NL),but combatants today! These two managed to stay away for the remainder of the race, although they were joined by Julie Mann and Dianne Moss with just 10 miles to go, at 46 miles. The gap reached over one minute at 14 miles. The bunch mainly stayed together, apart from the departure of Mann and Moss at 22 miles - the pair taking 24 miles to reel-in Davies and Hair. A group of 6 did go off the front when Mann and Moss went away and hung off the front for 6 miles, before being brought back. Survival in the bunch then become a matter of hanging on, only 8 were left at the end of the race - the others had been dropped on the hills which, according to riders afterwards, seemed so much harder the second time round. Mann and Moss had the leaders in sight for about 16 miles - tantalisingly close at 40seconds, but seemingly unable to close the gap. Whilst the bunch were consistently at about 1 minute 40 for much of the race. Catching the leaders at 46 miles, it didn't take Julie Mann long to catch her breath before she tried her legs on the narrow hill at Perrots Brook, but her fellow chaser and the caught pair reacted and went with her. After descending the Fossebridge at 55mph, 2 miles later and even upon entering the final kilometre, the 4 were looking at each other and slowed to only 20mph at times, as each waited for the other to make a move. Upon passing the 1km to go board, the riders were freewheeling - anticipating the sprint which was sure to happen soon - if only someone would go for it.... Hair led Davies then Mann then Moss, who was tightening her shoes. Moss started the sprint as the riders started the
hill, Mann went with her. Davies jumped onto Moss's wheel as did Hair.
Into the final 100m Moss was leading Hair & Davies, Mann was on the
outside. At 50m to go, Moss was still leading, but Hair had the legs to go
by & take the line. Mann did not contest the sprint. Jacqui Marshal led the sprint in for 5th (1st junior) ahead of what was left of the bunch. 9th was Helene Carbin - in from the USA less than 24 hours earlier with a creditable performance despite her jetlag. Post-race, Katrina Hair said afterwards, "I'm really chuffed". In response to whether she had intended to go so early, she admitted that she "has never really made a break before, but was going for the King of the Mountains, got away & kept going. Nina (Davies) was on my wheel so we just went. It worked well really - she's smaller and just shoots up the hills and I go along the flat and do a time trial." (Katrina is known as a tester). In response to a question as to whether Mann and Moss left the leaders "dangling" at 40seconds ahead of them for so long on purpose, Dianne replied that she had suffered a bug during the week and was struggling to get through and help Julie (Mann) with their chase. This was why it had taken them so long to get in contact. She said that once they saw the leaders, it didn't take long to catch them. (In fact, the lead went from 40 seconds to "caught" in just 2 miles - Webmaster). "Julie did a mammoth task to get us up there. I feel sorry for her really". Result : 56miles in 2hr 32mins 1st Katrina Hair - Team Scotland 2nd Dianne Moss - SP Systems-Wightlink 3rd Nina Davies - Port Talbot Wheelers 4th Julie Mann - Triangle RT - Voodoo 5th Jacqui Marshall - VC St Raphael 6th Karyn Byrne - Tunstall Wheelers 7th Elizabeth Smith - SP Systems-Wightlink 8th Helen Gutteridge - Beeston RC 9th Helene Carabin - Mathis Brothers CRRC, Oklahoma, USA 10th Jackie White - Tunstall Wheelers King of the Mountains Prize - Katrina Hair |

I saw the the Obama administration's planned public service announcement against campus rape on the evening news tonight. It's saddening.
It is self-defeating to presume that men rape women. Most men don't rape, but you wouldn't know it from what the White House seems to be saying. Focusing upon man-against-woman rape at the exclusion of other forms of assault risks sending a green light for other forms of assault. One needs to send a message that assaulting other people is unacceptable, regardless of whether sex is involved.

Are you feeling the need to send email messages while on the go, but you're not at all that interested in investing in a real smartphone? That's where the Peek Handheld is supposed to come into play, but it may have still been more expensive for you? Well, recession relief is on the way.
The economy is going through some tough times and Peek wants to cut you some slack, especially since some of the direct competitors in the market are hitting up the lower end of the price scale too. Cheap is good when you're watching your wallet, right?
As such, the original Peek Classic handheld has been bumped down to just twenty bucks. For a little more style and flash, you can go for the Peek Pronto. The latter has been knocked down to just $60. Both of those are much cheaper than even a $99 iPhone or BlackBerry Curve.
The bad news is that they're not cutting any slack when it comes to the monthly service. Unlimited wireless email on either Peek handheld will still run you $20 a month. Remember that the Peek is not a cell phone; it's a mobile email device.
Given that price, I'd be more inclined to get an all-in-one device, no? The contract price on several smartphones is south of $100 these days. Unlimited email through some carriers is only $15 a month.
Source: WSJ
Most smartphones cost you $30 per month for the data plan in ADDITION to any voice plan. Most unlimited voice plans run $99 per month plus taxes and fees.
I pay $50 for unlimited voice minutes on Virgin Mobile and only $15 per month for my peek.
I am saving hundreds of dollars per year !! I dumped my iPhone 3G in March and boy am I glad !
If I can get a device that allows me to talk, text, email, browse and listen to mp3 for $99 + $60 monthly, why would I want this piece of …?
Peek has $15/mo plan, if you pay for 1 yr of service upfront — that's just $180 folks!
There's also a quarterly plan for $50, which calculates to $16.67/mo.
But if you want to stay flexible with a month-to-month payment, that's $19.95.

As Hurricane Sandy begins to make landfall Monday evening, Calvert County is taking precautionary steps to keep residents safe.
One of the biggest concerns of this storm is the expected number of power outages in the region.
Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative has "assembled, pre-storm, the largest group of linemen and service restoration personnel in our 75-year history," a SMECO news release states.
According to the release, SMECO has been preparing for the storm for several days.
"We are assembling a historic workforce to respond to what we are anticipating will be a historic storm," said Austin J. Slater, SMECO president and CEO, in the release. "We are expecting significant damage to our system, and we urge our customer-members to take the necessary precautions to prepare for an extensive, prolonged outage restoration period."
Customers are asked to report outages by calling SMECO's Outage Hotline at 1-877-747-6326. To report downed wires, customers are asked to call 1-888-440-3311. For more information on outages and measures SMECO is taking in preparation for the storm, go to www.smeco.coop.
Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. has also mobilized a large fleet of workers to handle the anticipated effects of the storm.
According to a BGE news release, more than 3,000 employees, contractors and out-of-state linemen, tree personnel and support staff have been gathered "to prepare for extensive damage and widespread outages."
"We continue to urge our customers to prepare and review their emergency preparedness plan with their family as we face the likelihood that Hurricane Sandy will result in extended, widespread power outages lasting several days," Jeannette M. Mills, vice president and chief customer officer for BGE, said in the release.
Customers can report power outages and downed wires at 1-877-778-2222. For additional information on outages and measures being taken by BGE in preparation for the storm, go to BGE's website at www.bge.com.
Calvert County Board of County Commissioners' President Gerald W. "Jerry" Clark (R) said Monday morning no decision has been made as to whether county government will be closed Tuesday. He added that there should be a decision in the next few hours. County government offices and schools were closed Monday.
The BOCC and Planning Commission public hearing scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday is contingent upon what happens with the county government, he said.
In addition, the county has recommended evacuation of residents on the cliffs of Calvert and in low-lying, flood-prone areas.
A shelter is open at Huntingtown High School, 4125 Solomons Island Road in Huntingtown, for those who need to relocate. There is a pet shelter in the field house of the school for any animal that can be confined in a carrier. Owners must provide food, water bowls, medications and proof of immunizations. Pet owners will shelter in the gymnasium of Huntingtown High School but must be responsible for the care of their animals.
For further information on closings, shelters, services and preparedness, check the county website at www.co.cal.md.us., or Comcast Channel 6.
The Calvert County Sheriff's Office and Maryland State Police Prince Frederick barrack both have extra police officers on duty prepared to respond to emergencies in the county.
Det. Sgt. Al Paton, assistant commander of the MSP Prince Frederick barrack, said leave for all local troopers has been canceled and those who cannot report to their assigned barracks are working from their local barrack where they live. He said statewide, the MSP mobile field force has been activated. Troopers report to an area in central Maryland and get dispatched to different areas based on requests from local emergency personnel, Paton said.
"Basically we've mobilized everybody that's available and they're being dispatched throughout the state," he said.
Paton said troopers are also at the county Emergency Operations Center coordinating with all local authorities.
Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans (R) said extra deputies and special operations team members are prepared and on standby to respond to any emergency. He said the sheriff's office is also prepared with boats for water rescues if necessary.
"We're monitoring everything," Evans said, adding that just a few trees had been downed this morning but no roads were closed yet.
According to a news release from the county, bridges will close when sustained wind speeds exceed 50 mph. As of Monday at noon, all bridges in Maryland are under wind restrictions, which means that house trailers, empty box trailers or any vehicle that, in the opinion of law-enforcement personnel, may not safely cross the bridge will be prohibited from traveling the bridge.
Calvert Memorial Hospital has implemented its Hurricane Preparedness Plan and activated its command center Monday morning, said Kasia Sweeney, associate vice president for corporate communication at CMH.
She said as a precaution, the urgent care centers located in Dunkirk and Solomons will be closed Monday evening and anyone with urgent medical needs are encouraged to use the main emergency room at CMH in Prince Frederick.
In addition, Calvert Physician Associates, practices owned by CMH, will be closed Tuesday. For a complete list of closings and services available during the storm, check the hospital's website at www.calverthospital.org.
In a statement released Friday, Kory Raftery, spokesman for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, said, "In anticipation of potential challenges caused by Hurricane Sandy ... we are taking actions at the facility to stage and secure equipment, walk down the facility and ready the structures and water systems for both rain and high winds."
During a short interview Monday morning, he said teams are in place at all three facilities as a precaution, adding that facilities have opened to plant workers and their families to ensure safety of the workers.
Both North Beach and Chesapeake Beach declared states of emergencies Sunday morning.
In North Beach, sandbags are available until 2 p.m. or until the sandbags are gone at the public works yard at 4030 11th St., said Mayor Mark Frazer. The sandbags are for town residents only and are first come, first serve.
Last night, Frazer said he had a meeting with all of the council members, town staff, sheriff's office representatives, North Beach Volunteer Fire Department representatives and private communities associations "to make sure that our efforts were coordinated" and there were no gaps in areas of responsibility.
"I came away satisfied that all of the responders have a very clear understanding of what to do and when they will be needed," Frazer said.
No town evacuations were ordered and no roads were closed as of 10:30 a.m. today, Frazer said. Both the beach and the pier are closed, Frazer said.
The town hall is open for regular business purposes and for residents who may have lost power to charge their electronic devices, Frazer said.
Chesapeake Beach has been preparing for Hurricane Sandy for about a week, said Mayor Bruce Wahl, including making sure all water and sewer pumping facilities are in working condition and testing all generators.
"We've spent the past week carefully going through and making sure that the infrastructure is in good shape, and it is," Wahl said. "The town hall is closed today, the office functions are closed today, but the public works crew is fully staffed," Wahl said. "We're ready to do 24-hour shifts as necessary. … We've done pretty much everything we can think of to be sure that we're taking care of the citizens here."
In the event town residents lose power, the town hall will be made available to recharge all electronic devices and for personal needs, Wahl said.
Monday trash pick-up in the town ran on its normal schedule, but Tuesday trash pick-up is going to be postponed because the Appeal Landfill is closed, Wahl said. Until the Appeal Landfill is opened, trash will not be picked up from the south side of town, he said.
Sandbags were given out yesterday, and Wahl said if any resident needs sandbags today they can call the town hall and leave a message. Another option, Wahl said, is to respond to one of the "blast emails" he sent out to residents sign up for the email news alerts. A link to sign up for those alerts is posted on the left side of the town's website.
Sandbags are also available for residents who need them to protect property at Appeal Salt Dome, 401 Sweetwater Road, Lusby; at Stafford Road Salt Dome, 335 Stafford Road, Barstow; and Mt. Hope Salt Dome, 92 Pushaw Road, Sunderland. Up to 20 sandbags per person may be picked up until 4 p.m. today. Residents should bring a shovel to fill the bags and may also bring their own bags to fill.

I love this Pull. It adds real style to my kitchen. The only problem I had with the installation of this pull was that the screws were too SHORT. I had to purchase longer screws. Other than that, I love the way they look in my kitchen.

Matt Diersen was expecting supply-side numbers in USDA's Aug. 1 Crop Production report to be on the short side, what with 2011 hay acreage at extremely low levels and a variety of weather factors severely crimping early season production in many parts of the country. Even so, when the report was released on Aug. 11, the South Dakota State University Extension ag economist admits to being more than a little surprised.
"It's another shocker," Diersen says. "We all knew that acres would be down, but I don't think anybody was expecting yields and overall production, across both alfalfa and other hay, to be quite this bad."
USDA expects U.S. production of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures to total 65 million tons in 2011, down 4% from last year's total. While this year's expected yield of 3.36 tons/acre would be the second highest yield since 2005, it's still down 0.04 tons from last year's figure. On harvested area, USDA is forecasting 19.3 million acres, down 3% from the year-earlier number.
In the other hay category, total U.S. production of 67 million tons, down 14% from 2010's tonnage, is predicted. If realized, it would be the lowest production level since 1993. Other hay yields should average 1.75 tons/acre, down 0.20 ton from in 2010 and the lowest U.S. yield since 1988. Harvested area for other hay is forecast at 38.3 million acres, unchanged from the June forecast, but down 4% from last year's total.
"It all comes back to low yields, low production and low supply," says Diersen. "This is as tight as it (supply) has been since 1988-89."
Hay availability varies widely by region. Supplies should be ample in North and South Dakota, due mostly to record-tying and near-record-tying yields for alfalfa and other hay. On the other hand, supplies are certain to remain extremely tight in the Southern Plains, most notably Texas and Oklahoma, where exceptional to severe drought took a major bite out of this year's production. The report shows alfalfa production levels are down "quite a bit" in Iowa and Wisconsin, Diersen also notes. "There could be some regional supply pressure there, enough to push prices up."
The ag economist expects supplies to tighten still further throughout the fall and winter. With normal consumption, hay supply could dwindle to 15 million tons by the end of the current marketing year, which is May of 2012. That would be the lowest level since 2007.
In turn, the low supply situation will put even more upward pressure on already high prices. Ordinarily, Diersen says, supplies this tight coupled with prices this high would lead livestock producers to ration hay use. This year, though, several factors could limit their options for doing so. These include:
1) The effect of the drought on pasture and range conditions in the Southern Plains. "Producers there will have to start feeding supplemental hay earlier than usual," Diersen notes.
2) The expansion or "intent to expand" the national dairy herd. Overall, hay use by the dairy industry is unlikely to decline as long as dairy producers remain in growth mode.
3) High prices for most other commodities. Livestock producers will have fewer options to substitute other feeds for hay in their rations.
Diersen's bottom line: "The high prices we're seeing now will remain under a lot of pressure for the next eight to 10 months."

Beautiful Elegant Classy
Perfect Petals Enclosure Cards I ordered my save the date magnets and my invitations from magnet Street. Both were beautifully done in of high quality. I couldn't be more happy with the outcome of both of these products and I still plan on ordering my wedding programs from you as well. The paper was sick and high quality the print job was very bright and colorful. I ordered several samples of invitations and each one came in a timely manner. My invitations came within 2 to 3 weeks of ordering them online. The program that was used to design the invitations and preview them was very accurate to what showed up when I opened the box. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome and can't wait to send them out!
Great idea~
Flower Flourish Enclosure Cards I am so glad we ordered these in addition to our invitations. We included information about parking at the chapel, block of reserved hotel rooms, and gifts... It was the perfect "insert" for the invitation and saved me from having to cheapen the look by including a photocopied sheet of paper with all the same details. It's worth the money - the black background was beautiful and we used the "butter" colored font and it showed up beautifully. Highly recommend
Elegant and classic
Flower Flourish Enclosure Cards We are so happy with the quality and the outcome of our designs.
Love them!
Flower Flourish Enclosure Cards This card was a LIFESAVER! I knew I was going to have a reception card, but I needed a lot of space to include directions and information about the receptions (my guests will need photo ID to enter the reception). I wasn't sure where or how I was going to fit it all in. Luckily this card has space on the back that you can personalize!
Excellent Accessory
Flower Flourish Enclosure Cards I got the Enclosure Card to accompany the Flower Flourish Save the Date Magnet and I loved them. The card stock is the perfect weight that they don't bend easily but not so heavy that extra postage is required. Colors printed true, they are just lovely.

Anne Oldfield
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2013) |
Anne Oldfield | |
Anne Oldfield, by an unknown artist, held by the National Portrait Gallery
Born | 1683 London, England |
Died | 23 October 1730 Grosvenor Street, London, England |
(aged 47)
Occupation | Actress |
Anne Oldfield (1683 – 23 October 1730), English actress, was born in London, the daughter of a soldier.
She worked for a time as apprentice to a seamstress, until she attracted George Farquhar's attention by reciting some lines from a play in his hearing. She thereupon obtained an engagement at Drury Lane, where her beauty rather than her ability slowly brought her into favour, and it was not until ten years later that she was generally acknowledged as the best actress of her time.
In polite comedy, especially, she was unrivalled, and even the usually grudging Colley Cibber acknowledged that she had as much as he to do with the success of his The Careless Husband (1704), in which she created the part of Lady Modish, reluctantly given to her because Susanna Verbruggen was ill. Of her portrayal of Lady Townly his The Provok'd Husband (1728), Cibber was to say, memorably, "that here she outdid her usual Outdoing." She also played the title role in Ben Jonson's Epicoene, and Celia in his Volpone. In tragedy, too, she won laurels, and the list of her parts, many of them original, is a long and varied one.
She was the theatrical idol of her day. Her exquisite acting and ladylike carriage were the delight of her contemporaries, and her beauty and generosity found innumerable eulogists, as well as sneering detractors. Alexander Pope, in his Sober Advice from Horace, wrote of her "Engaging Oldfield, who, with grace and ease, Could join the arts to ruin and to please." It was to her that he alluded as the lady who detested being buried in woollen, who said to her maid "No, let a charming chintz and Brussels lace Wrap my cold limbs and shade my lifeless face; One would not, sure, be frightful when one's dead, And Betty give this cheek a little red."
Oldfield was forty-seven when she died on 23 October 1730 at 60 Grosvenor Street, London.[1] She divided her property, for that time a large one, between her natural sons, the first by Arthur Mainwaring (1668–1712) who had left her and his son half his fortune on his death and the second by Lieutenant-General Charles Churchill (d. 1745). Mrs Oldfield was buried in Westminster Abbey, beneath the monument to Congreve, but when Churchill applied for permission to erect a monument there to her memory the dean of Westminster refused it.

Withernsea's Lighthouse is one of only a handful of lighthouses built inland, standing 127 feet (38m) high in the middle of the seaside town.
The base of the lighthouse features RNLI and HM Coastguard exhibits, displays and old photographs.
There is also a local history room with photo's documents and models from Withernsea's past including the Queens Hotel and the train station.
Standing only a few houses away from the very spot where 1950's film star Kay Kendall was born makes the lighthouse the perfect place for a memorial to the glamorous star!
The lighthouse is no longer active and means that visitors are able to climb the 144 steps to the top for the most breath taking views over Withernsea and East Yorkshire – on a clear day you can even see the towers of the Humber Bridge.
We welcome visits from schools and groups at all times of the year.
Access Policy.
The Withernsea Lighthouse Trust has a policy of enabling all visitors to the museum to get the maximum benefit from their visit regardless of any possible access difficulties they may have i.e. :-
We will maintain the building in a manner that will allow access to all exhibits. We do realise, however, that access to the lamp room at the top of the lighthouse may be impracticable to some of our disabled visitors.
The museum will continue to commission an annual inspection by the Withernsea Disability Action Group.
The Withernsea Lighthouse Trust will undertake to keep admission fees as low as possible, and to offer family and group discounts.
We aim to provide all visitors with the opportunity to have access to all information that will help them achieve maximum benefit from their visit. Staff and volunteers will react on a one to one basis when necessary.
The staff and volunteers will always react in a friendly and helpful manner to all visitors.
This policy will be reviewed annually with the forward plan.

Somalia: MPs Strongly Condemned Speaker of Parliament
Mogadishu: – Members of MPs for Somali Federal Transitional Government like Asha Abdalla have denounced the speaker of the TFG Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden for his position in the latest parliament clash.
They strongly blamed the speaker of being responsible for the present setbacks and therefore advised members of MPs to come up with probable solutions to the misunderstanding between MPs.
Parliament is supposed to meet today for the approval of the new elected prime-minister but One of MPs warns that a further delay would only deepen the already existing disputes.
The speech of the Somali MP coincided amid deep division within parliament members where some of them have sided with the speaker.
Some of Parliament members told the media that the legislators are required to approve the legitimacy of the new prime minister and not carried away by the conflicts between the President and the speaker.
Political disagreement between President Sheikh Sharf Sheikh Ahmed and parliament speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden boiled up last week after Shiekh Ahmed accused the speaker of parliament is obstacle the process of approving or rejecting the new nominated premier by the president Sheikh sharif.
The president Shiekh Sharif said, "Tthe speaker has two motions one of which –140 lawmakers–is requesting a vote in open vote, and the other—40 MP's–is requesting a secret ballot
"I appeal the Speaker of Parliament to uphold the law and to not obstruct lawmakers from discharging their solemn constitutional duties, particularly at this critical occasion when we need a government that can stand to address the enormous tasks."
In 1960 constitution decreed the assembly should express confidence or no confidence in the prime-minister in an open vote requiring a simple majority, the speaker interfere the law of the house.
On the other side, Speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden also issued a memo later on Sunday condemning the president of creating confusion within the Somali government.
The Speaker of Parliament said, "W should use what our constitution says, the vote of confidence for the new prime- minister will be use secretly according to the constitution article 43 in the new constitution."
According to the constitution, Failure to conform and apply the provisions of article 30(6) which categorically states that any motion contravening the Sharia Law, the Charter or the Constitution and the other laws shall be unacceptable.
The TFG has been plagued by conflicts and power struggle since it was first established at the end of Kenya in 2004.
Since the Parliament is supposed to meet today for the approval of the new elected prime-minister and it is unclear what will come out.
Somalia: Large displacement still continues in Mogadishu.
BY: A Y Mohamed
Mogadishu: Thousands of Somali civilians were moving from their houses in Mogadishu the capital of Somalia last four years and hearing of death, kidnapping, looting, fighting and mortar shelling became normal in the city.
The most villages in the city are empty, the inhabitants largely displaced from homes and most of them live under the trees and civilian displacement still continue in Mogadishu.
Uncountable displaced people including adults and children carrying their house-items on their head and back could be seen evacuating from their residences in the city.
The latest battles along with heavy shelling, have also affected more innocent in Mogadishu city.
"I have 6-kids; I am fleeing from my home, we are evacuating our brothers, we remained here in Mogadishu for only three months since Ethiopian forces withdrew the country so we are appealing from those involving the atrocious battles to stop it as soon as possible and respect us," said a Somali woman with her three days old baby on her chest told local reporters.
"We are poor innocent inhabitants who don not know where to go," She suffered.
A research made on the least battles said that 300-people most of them civilians were killed and more-others sustained injuries in the past two in heavy wars in Mogadishu between the government soldiers and Islamist insurgent troops against the existence of Somali transitional government.
Gusow Dhagay, "Displacement and death continuesin Somalia, we need urgent peace, because peace is life."
On the other hand, the international community condemns the attacks on the Transitional Federal Government led by Sheik Sharif Sheikh made by Islamist opposition groups.

Explosions In The Sky Poster and Art Print
October 11th, 2011 // Posted by Dan in Art Print, Blog, DKNG Work, Explosions In The Sky, Illustration, Music, Poster, Process, VideoIt's always been a dream of ours to create an Explosions In The Sky poster. So when we were asked to create one for their recent Minneapolis show, we knew we had to knock it out of the park. The idea behind the poster came from an interview in which the band was described as having a "Mammoth Sound".
The poster is a 24″ x 18″ two color print screen print on 80 lb. French Speckletone "Sand". We decided to also print an art print version (sans the text).
Below is an image of the art print, some close-up shots of the poster, as well as our original sketch of the design. We also created a process video showing the creation of the design from sketch to completion. A limited number of prints are available in our store.

how did you do these 'paper print spots' texture?
Almost all of the art is half toned. Some of the little spontaneous grains in the design are actually speckles from the paper itself.
One word: BRA-VO.
Thank you so, so much for sharing this. I just posted this on our Facebook page/tweeted to our followers.
My question: Did they love it??
EITS were very pleased. It's always our end goal to make the client very happy. Luckily we enjoy doing it.
This is killer and it inspires me to do more hand drawing. Great job!
This is truly a work of art from the sketching to the printed piece. Thanks for sharing all the process, made my day!
Only 2 colours. What is this witchcraftery.
KILLED IT!!! Beautiful work guys
incredible work dan!
The poster is magnificent. Any chance of them being reprinted?
Is it supposed to be a big island thats secretely a giant elephant with a boat approaching it or is it just an elephant swimming around with a boat far off into the background?
Brian – Hard to say. They sold very quickly and it's a definite possibility that we re-print as a new color way.
Grant – It's a Mammoth that is so large it creates land masses. Boat is approaching it.
I'd love to buy one of these if they were reprinted.
im so sad that this is sold out! such an amazing piece for such an amazing band.
nice work Dan-o!
sorry for the meaningly comment but, this is awesome! great work man!!!
Absolutely amazing video and artwork Dan!!! So proud of you. You will be famous any day now!!!!
I've gotta ask.. is that typeface (for EITS at the top) a font or did you create it yourselves specifically for the poster? I suspect the latter but.. no harm in asking I think. :')
really sad to see these sold out. would really like to pick one up.
Who is the genius in the video? I want to buy him/her a coffee.
I would definitely buy this if it were reprinted!
Seriously, this is fantastic.
Amazing work.
Wanted one at the show on Monday, hesitated to buy at the time because I was worried it would not survive the show. All gone the instant the band walked off. Please reprint and let me know! My son would adore, and I love it.
beautiful. thank you for the inspiration to keep kicking my ass in school keep it!!!
How long did the entire process take? Excellent job.
Hi there, I love your style. What tool was that in illustrator that you used to get that diamond cut look?
Anthony: The type derives from a slightly altered existing font
Daniel: The vector shapes composing the "diamond cut look" is simply the pen tool. Each node links to each other using smart guides and I used no round edges. Everything is straight lines/polygons
As I thought, such a simple method but an effective result! I hope you don't mind but I just tweeted this page!
Tweet away!
Super cool.
This is probably my favorite poster from you guys so far. I'm sad I missed picking it up before it was gone. You've seriously outdone yourselves. Jaw dropper for sure. Great work.
At the risk of sounding whiny, please please reprint this. I think I speak for others when I say that it's work like this that inspires future creativity. I'd love to have a framed version in my studio or son's room. Well done on an amazing creation
We're in the works of creating a variant edition. Follow our social networks and/or mailing list for when we release it online.
I would like to purchase a copy if you reprint, along with a lot of other people it appears. Great work, please let me know if a reprint becomes available.
Stan Harada (Albuquerque, NM)
I think this is the most amazing piece of ART I have seen in years.
Please, reprint it (and let me know when becomes available)!
Greetings from Brazil,
Claudio Silvano
What an inspirational detour I am glad I took today (supposed to be working). This makes you dream and want to dive right into that world. Thanks for showing the process. LOVE this and would buy an art print if comes available again.
Oh man, this is RAD. I love EitS <3 This is an excellent poster I love how the mammoth head looks like an iceberg!
I saw this on Grain Edit and absolutely adore it. I would definitely buy one if it is reprinted. Please do!
I went to this show and I remember that when I was buying a t-shirt the guy had to sell the poster on display because they sold out so quick. Great work!
What a great story! Thanks for sharing.
Ditto on everyone else's comments. Amazing. I love the mammoth as iceberg. I also love Explosions, so the combo is great. Just want to throw my hat in the ring as a buyer when for when you reprint – any idea when that will be?
I'd be very interested in hanging this up on my wall! Is there any possibility you're making reprints?
Kind regards & potatoes,
Please reprint this! I'd buy a print in a heartbeat. Beautiful work.
Chiming in with the rest: FANTASTIC work! truly inspiring!
Will most definitely buy when reprinted…
I want a reprint of this so badly. Just saying.
Reprint this amazing work of art!
Please, please, please!!
Guys this is incredible. Wow!
thank you for sharing. really awesome work. love the concept
I'm going to jump on the please reprint bandwagon!
Please reprint this beautiful piece.
PLEASE please reprint this – seriously breathtaking – i need it in my house!
It may be more of a secret on your end, but any clue into the process for creating the different textures would also be appreciated. Always great to see the process involved behind the scenes.
Thanks for the introduction to some great music as well. I hadn't heard of the band until I saw the poster, but just bought the album.
Glad to see you putting my space halftone vectors to good use. Fantastic poster!!
everything has already been said, but love the poster and really really hoping for a reprint, would be buying multiple for friends too.
Caught this on your Dribbble account, and came here to find more photos. I would buy this in a heartbeat (even less than a heart beat without any text). Great work, amazing.
Seriously… wow! please tell me there is a way I can buy this!
Please do you have any idea when this might be reprinted? I so need this above my bed. Gorgeous.
Please reprint this! …like many people I love this art print and I need it for my room!
Reprint! Please!! I need something for my office!
If you, as you say yourself, "make the world a better place with posters", then please Reprint this poster, its SO beautiful!
I purchased at alternate art print at flatstock 33, this is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Thank you again.
Thanks for a great site, has helped me in many ways.
hey kiero saber como le haces para sacar la textura de photoshop a ilustrador
y gran trabajo hee muy bueno
Great work, neat textures, brilliant concept! Love the video of the design process (you made that look easy!)
Stunning work. Dan, mind if I used this for a music CD cover?
please! You have many great work which can't be bought any more, because it's sold out. Please reprint! I really would like to buy some work from you!
Thanks for a great site, great designs, great content, awesome work done by you.
Well Done!@!
I love your style. What tool was that in illustrator that you used to get that diamond cut look?
I love this blog.. thanks for sharing.
Begging to have this reprinted. I've been searching for original source to buy as a poster and am pretty depressed to see that it's no longer available.
Please reprint!

Craig Nakagawa partners with the UW to mentor students and provide insights into his international work with VillageReach. Former research assistant Leah Hasselbeck Barrett now works alongside Nakagawa as a project manager for the organization.
Craig Nakawaga, '89, knows the value of collaboration. After spending much of his career in investment banking and technology, he now enjoys the open culture of partnership that permeates the international development field.
With a desire to show students the personal and professional rewards of social entrepreneurship and work that helps improve the quality of life for people around the world, Nakagawa now mentors UW students about this growing field. "I've met and worked with great quality people at the UW," says Nakagawa, a Jackson School of International Studies graduate. "I'm always learning about new ways our organization can tap into the expertise available on campus."
As a cofounder of Seattle-based VillageReach, an organization working to improve the health of people living in poor countries, Nakagawa values the UW as a resource for partnering on research and reaching talented students with internship and learning opportunities. "Our region possesses the perfect concentration of people, ideas and a collective consciousness about how global issues affect all of us."
Jackson School and Evans School graduate Leah Hasselbeck Barrett, '07, remembers hearing Nakagawa speak during her early days in graduate school. "It was incredibly meaningful to see and hear about a fresh new way of working in international development," she said. Inspired by his talk, Barrett accepted a research assistantship with VillageReach that she later leveraged into a full-time position.
Personal and professional benefits aside, Nakagawa sees the bigger picture. "Having these connections to the UW reminds me that that we're all doing something great for a lot of people," he says.

An Alternate Reality Game to Help Mitigate Global Climate change
Humans have been having a dramatic impact on the global climate for centuries, but it was not until recently that the true effects of man were realized and documented."The 'greenhouse effect' is not an idea which is new to science. It has merely become more easily detectable in our time as temperatures have risen and scientists have devised more sophisticated ways to measure and forecast atmospheric process" (Johansen, 2002, p.2).Due to the consumption of fossil fuels and other greenhouse gas producing activities, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have risen over the past 250 years, and more rapidly in the past 50 years (Houghton, 1997).

I've just released details of my newest photography workshop – "Picture Perfect" which begins on Monday August 8th this summer and runs for 4 weeks.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A house is a building that functions as a home for humans or other creatures,[1][2] including simple dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes and complex structures composed of many systems.[3][4]
The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household. Most commonly, a household is a family unit of some kind, although households may also be other social groups or individuals.
The English word house derives directly from the Old English Hus meaning "dwelling, shelter, home, house," which in turn derives from Proto-Germanic Khusan (reconstructed by etymological analysis) which is of unknown origin.[5] The house itself gave rise to the letter 'B' through an early Proto-Semitic hieroglyphic symbol depicting a house. The symbol was called "bayt", "bet" or "beth" in various related languages, and became beta, the Greek letter, before it was used by the Romans.[6]
Ideally, architects of houses design rooms to meet the needs of the people who will live in the house. Such designing, known as "interior design", has become a popular subject in universities. Feng shui, originally a Chinese method of moving houses according to such factors as rain and micro-climates, has recently expanded its scope to address the design of interior spaces, with a view to promoting harmonious effects on the people living inside the house. Feng shui can also mean the "aura" in or around a dwelling. Making it comparable to the real-estate sales concept of "indoor-outdoor flow".
The square footage of a house in the United States reports the area of "living space", excluding the garage and other non-living spaces. The "square metres" figure of a house in Europe reports the area of the walls enclosing the home, and thus includes any attached garage and non-living spaces.[citation needed] The number of floors or levels making up the house can affect the square footage of a home.
Many houses have several large rooms with specialized functions and several very small rooms for other various reasons. These may include a living/eating area, a sleeping area, and (if suitable facilities and services exist) separate or combined washing and lavatory areas. Additionally, spa room, indoor pool, indoor basketball court, and so forth. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domestic animals such as chickens or larger livestock (like cattle) often share part of the house with human beings. Most conventional modern houses will at least contain a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. A typical "foursquare house" (as pictured) occurred commonly in the early history of the US where they were mainly built, with a staircase in the center of the house, surrounded by four rooms, and connected to other sections of the home (including in more recent eras a garage).
Little is known about the earliest origin of the house and its interior, but it can be traced back to the simplest form of shelters. Roman architect Vitruvius' theories have claimed the first form of architecture as a frame of timber branches finished in mud, also known as the primitive hut.[7] Philip Tabor later states the contribution of 17th century Dutch houses as the foundation of houses today.
In the Middle Ages, the Manor Houses facilitated different activities and events. Furthermore, the houses accommodated numerous people, including family, relatives, employees, servants and their guests.[7] Their lifestyles were largely communal, as areas such as the Great Hall enforced the custom of dining and meetings and the Solar intended for shared sleeping beds.[9]
During the 15th and 16th centuries, the Italian Renaissance Palazzo consisted of plentiful rooms of connectivity. Unlike the qualities and uses of the Manor Houses, most rooms of the palazzo contained no purpose, yet were given several doors. These doors adjoined rooms in which Robin Evans describes as a "matrix of discrete but thoroughly interconnected chambers."[10] The layout allowed occupants to freely walk room to room from one door to another, thus breaking the boundaries of privacy.
Although very public, the open plan encouraged sociality and connectivity for all inhabitants.[7]
An early example of the segregation of rooms and consequent enhancement of privacy may be found in 1597 at the Beaufort House built in Chelsea. It was designed by English architect John Thorpe who wrote on his plans, "A Long Entry through all".[11] The separation of the passageway from the room developed the function of the corridor. This new extension was revolutionary at the time, allowing the integration of one door per room, in which all universally connected to the same corridor. English architect Sir Roger Pratt states "the common way in the middle through the whole length of the house, [avoids] the offices from one molesting the other by continual passing through them."[12] Social hierarchies within the 17th century was highly regarded, as architecture was able epitomize the servants and the upper class. More privacy is offered to the occupant as Pratt further claims, "the ordinary servants may never publicly appear in passing to and fro for their occasions there."[12] This social divide between rich and poor favored the physical integration of the corridor into housing by the 19th century.
Sociologist Witold Rybczynski wrote, "the subdivision of the house into day and night uses, and into formal and informal areas, had begun."[13] Rooms were changed from public to private as single entryways forced notions of entering a room with a specific purpose.[7]
Compared to the large scaled houses in England and the Renaissance, the 17th Century Dutch house was smaller, and was only inhabited by up to four to five members.[7] This was due to their embracing "self-reliance",[7] in contrast to the dependence on servants, and a design for a lifestyle centered on the family. It was important for the Dutch to separate work from domesticity, as the home became an escape and a place of comfort. This way of living and the home has been noted as highly similar to the contemporary family and their dwellings. House layouts also incorporated the idea of the corridor as well as the importance of function and privacy.
By the end of the 17th Century, the house layout was soon transformed to become employment-free, enforcing these ideas for the future. This came in favour for the industrial revolution, gaining large-scale factory production and workers.[7] The house layout of the Dutch and its functions are still relevant today. The names of parts of a house often echo the names of parts of other buildings, but could typically include:
The introduction of technology and electronic systems within the house has questioned the impressions of privacy as well as the segregation of work from home. Technological advances of surveillance and communications allow insight of personal habits and private lives.[7] As a result, the "private becomes ever more public, [and] the desire for a protective home life increases, fuelled by the very media that undermine it" writes Hill.[7] Work also, has been altered due to the increase of communications. The "deluge of information",[7] has expressed the efforts of work, conveniently gaining access inside the house. Although commuting is reduced, "the desire to separate working and living remains apparent."[7] In Jonathan Hill's book Immature Architecture, he identifies this new invasion of privacy as Electromagnetic Weather. Natural or man-made weather remains concurrent inside or outside the house, yet the electromagnetic weather is able to generate within both positions.[7][clarification needed] On the other hand, some architects have designed homes in which eating, working and living are brought together.
In the United States, modern house-construction techniques include light-frame construction (in areas with access to supplies of wood) and adobe or sometimes rammed-earth construction (in arid regions with scarce wood-resources). Some areas use brick almost exclusively, and quarried stone has long provided walling. To some extent, aluminum and steel have displaced some traditional building materials. Increasingly popular alternative construction materials include insulating concrete forms (foam forms filled with concrete), structural insulated panels (foam panels faced with oriented strand board or fiber cement), and light-gauge steel framing and heavy-gauge steel framing.[citation needed]
More generally, people often build houses out of the nearest available material, and often tradition and/or culture govern construction-materials, so whole towns, areas, counties or even states/countries may be built out of one main type of material. For example, a large fraction of American houses use wood, while most British and many European houses utilize stone or brick.
In the 1900s (decade), some house designers started using prefabrication. Sears, Roebuck & Co. first marketed their Sears Catalog Homes to the general public in 1908. Prefab techniques became popular after World War II. First small inside rooms framing, then later, whole walls were prefabricated and carried to the construction site. The original impetus was to use the labor force inside a shelter during inclement weather. More recently builders have begun to collaborate with structural engineers who use computers and finite element analysis to design prefabricated steel-framed homes with known resistance to high wind-loads and seismic forces. These newer products provide labor savings, more consistent quality, and possibly accelerated construction processes.
Lesser-used construction methods have gained (or regained) popularity in recent years. Though not in wide use, these methods frequently appeal to homeowners who may become actively involved in the construction process. They include:
In the developed world, energy-conservation has grown in importance in house-design. Housing produces a major proportion of carbon emissions (30% of the total in the UK, for example).[14]
Development of a number of low-energy building types and techniques continues. They include the zero-energy house, the passive solar house, the autonomous buildings, the superinsulated and houses built to the Passivhaus standard.
One tool of earthquake engineering is base isolation which is increasingly used for earthquake protection. Base isolation is a collection of structural elements of a building that should substantially decouple it from the shaking ground thus protecting the building's integrity[15] and enhancing its seismic performance. This technology, which is a kind of seismic vibration control, can be applied both to a newly designed building and to seismic upgrading of existing structures.[16]
Normally, excavations are made around the building and the building is separated from the foundations. Steel or reinforced concrete beams replace the connections to the foundations, while under these, the isolating pads, or base isolators, replace the material removed. While the base isolation tends to restrict transmission of the ground motion to the building, it also keeps the building positioned properly over the foundation. Careful attention to detail is required where the building interfaces with the ground, especially at entrances, stairways and ramps, to ensure sufficient relative motion of those structural elements.
Bamboo is an earthquake-resistant material, and is very versatile because it comes from fast-grow plants. Adding that bamboos are common in Asia, bamboo-made houses are popular in some Asian countries.
In many parts of the world, houses are constructed using scavenged materials. In Manila's Payatas neighborhood, slum houses are often made of material sourced from a nearby garbage dump.[17]
In Dakar, it is not uncommon to see houses made of recycled materials standing atop a mixture of garbage and sand which serves as a foundation. The garbage-sand mixture is also used to protect the house from flooding.[18]
Buildings with historical importance have legal restrictions.
New houses in the UK are not covered by the Sale of Goods Act. When purchasing a new house the buyer has different legal protection than when buying other products. New houses in the UK are covered by a National House Building Council guarantee.
In the US and Canada, many new houses are built in housing tracts, which provide homeowners a sense of "belonging" and the feeling they have "made the best use" of their money. However, these houses are sometimes built as cheaply and quickly as possible by large builders seeking to maximize profits. Many environmental health issues may be ignored or minimized in the construction of these structures. In one case in Benicia, California, a housing tract was built over an old landfill. Home buyers were never told, and only found out when some began having reactions to high levels of lead and chromium.[19]
With the growth of dense settlement, humans designed ways of identifying houses and/or parcels of land. Individual houses sometimes acquire proper names; and those names may acquire in their turn considerable emotional connotations: see for example the house of Howards End or the castle of Brideshead Revisited. A more systematic and general approach to identifying houses may use various methods of house numbering.
Humans often build "houses" for domestic or wild animals, often resembling smaller versions of human domiciles. Familiar animal houses built by humans include bird-houses, hen-houses/chicken-coops and doghouses (kennels); while housed agricultural animals more often live in barns and stables. However, human interest in building houses for animals does not stop at the domestic pet. People build bat-houses, nesting-sites for wild ducks and other birds, bee houses, giraffe houses, kangaroo houses, worm houses, hermit crab houses, as well as shelters for many other animals.
Houses may express the circumstances or opinions of their builders or their inhabitants. Thus a vast and elaborate house may serve as a sign of conspicuous wealth, whereas a low-profile house built of recycled materials may indicate support of energy conservation.
Houses of particular historical significance (former residences of the famous, for example, or even just very old houses) may gain a protected status in town planning as examples of built heritage and/or of street scape. Commemorative plaques may mark such structures.
Home ownership provides a common measure of prosperity in economics. Contrast the importance of house-destruction, tent dwelling and house rebuilding in the wake of many natural disasters.
Peter Olshavsky's "House for the Dance of Death"[20] provides a 'pataphysical variation on the house.

Softball: Abby Ramirez, Trinity rally to beat Leyden
Updated: June 2, 2012 5:50PM
The last person Leyden pitcher Morgan Maize wanted to face with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth and the score tied was Trinity shortstop Abby Ramirez. She is already a threat under normal conditions, but at this point of the game she was batting with a chip on her shoulder.
In the top of the fourth the Michigan-bound junior had committed a throwing error that should have ended the inning. The Eagles responded with three runs to take a three-run lead at the time.
Ramirez responded in her next at bat with an RBI double, and put an exclamation point on her day with a bases loaded single in that sixth to give her team the lead for good and an eventual 12-6 win in the Class 4A Trinity sectional final at Triton College.
"The inning before I messed up and I had to pick myself and the team up," Ramirez said. "I wanted to help (pitcher) Chase (Machain) and make it easier for her."
For the second time in three years the Blazers (30-7) advance to the supersectional. They'll meet Marist in the second game of the Rosemont supersectional at Chicago Bandits Stadium.
Sun-Times preseason No. 1 Leyden ends a season of high-expectations at 29-8. It was a bittersweet post game press conference from coach Kurt Schuett, who wasn't pleased with a fourth inning beaming in the ribs of his star pitcher, DePaul-bound Morgan Maize, who had homered her previous at bat.
"That was the game," insisted Schuett. "The very next inning she didn't have command of her pitches and wasn't throwing with any authority. If you don't want her to hit off you, put her on first base with an intentional walk.
"It was way too convenient. Chase doesn't hit people, she has great command. When you have a base open with a girl who just beat you the last at bat with a two-run shot, you don't hit her. Morgan has an open stance and does not stand on top of the plate."
Eagles coach Bob Osborne got an earful from Schuett immediately after it happened and for a few innings afterward.
"We are a Catholic school and we would never intentionally do that," Osborne said. "She hit an outside pitch out of the park last time and we were trying to work her inside."
Ramirez finished the day 4-for-5 with three runs scored and the same number of RBI. Blazers senior Taylor Lang hit a two-run homer in the second to give her team a 3-0 lead.
The Eagles put up three in the third and four in the fourth, capped by the two-run homer by Maize, her seventh of the season, to take over the lead 6-3. The Blazers responded with three in the bottom of the fourth and five in the bottom of the fifth to take over the game.
Michela Williams had an RBI double in the fourth for the Blazers, while Alyssa Marfue added a triple. Nicole Evans had an RBI single in that fourth.
April Markowski was 3-for-4 with an RBI for the Eagles, while Jen Hall added a three-run triple in the fourth.
"It stinks that (I got hit) and it effected my pitching the rest of the game," said Maize, who combined with her senior teammates to win 103 games in four years. "I think we proved ourselves and we had team chemistry and put Leyden on the map.

Relaxation Hypnobirthing CD
Marie F. Mongan is the pioneering doctor responsible for the breakthrough technique called hypnobirthing. Mongan has written a handful of hypnobirthing books which also includes a hypnobirthing cd.
Hypnotherapy and Self-hypnosis for an easy, pain-free, relaxed labour and child birth
What is really happening in the body when we feel pain is just beginning to be understood by medical science? We do know that the process begins when our cells when our tissues emit a kind of 'danger signal', such as that stemming from tissue damage or inflammation. These chemical are called Histamines.
When nerve fibers in our bodies sense these chemicals, they send an electrical charge along the spinal cord to a region called the dorsal horn. What happens at the dorsal horn is not fully understood, but this process of spinal pain signalling is often termed the "Pain Gate". Pain Gate Signalling causes additional chemicals called neurotransmitters to be released, which convey the pain signal to our brains. If you can interrupt these messages and reduce the production of chemicals, you can close the pain gate, so in effect you are managing the pain rather than it managing you.
Pain is also very closely intertwined with psychology and we have all heard of anecdotal stories of amazing feats of bravely performed in extreme circumstance, when people should have experienced extreme pain, but instead felt none until after the event.; this is a perfect example of the mind blocking the pain signals just when it most needs to.
'Distraction' also plays a large part in blocking pain information. We can only process a certain amount of information at any one time, so if you overload the brain with visual, auditory and kinetic information and imagery, there is no room for the pain messages to get through.
It is this knowledge of how the brain perceives pain that enables us to use Hypnotherapy to overload the mind, create a distraction, close the pain gates and cause the body to go into a mode of deep relaxation which reduces and often eliminate pain altogether.
Just knowing you have some control over your body's physical reactions is relaxing in itself, and the more you can relax and drift into the state Hypnosis, the easier it is to close the pain gate with your subconscious mind and the more comfortable you will be during labour.
Hypnotherapy really can act as a anaesthetic, if you allow it to!
By using self-hypnosis pre-recorded material such as a CDs and mp3 downloads, you will have at the touch of button, a full Hypnotherapy session that can be used whenever you need to, as often as you need to. It's as simple as that
How does Hypnosis work?
Whilst using Self-Hypnosis, you will become progressively more and more relaxed until you enter a deep, relaxed, hypnotic trance state. The deep relaxation process will distract the conscious, critical part of your mind, and while this happens, positive suggestions are given directly to the unconscious part of the mind, and this is where the fundamental changes take place. These changes then infiltrate through to the conscious mind, so that the changes experienced in the 'hypnotic' state become realties in the wakeful state. This technique is used by sports psychologists with great success and it so simple and easy to use.
Everyone responds to Hypnotherapy and Self-Hypnosis differently, just as people do to any form of therapeutic intervention. Some will notice an instant change and for others it may take longer, but even when it feels that nothing at all has actually happened, you'll be surprised at just how much has changed, but this is only noticed in retrospect, when you look back at how you were before you started using Hypnotherapy. Just give it time and don't try too hard to make it happen. You will find that the more often you use self-hypnosis, the easier it will be to achieve a very relaxed state of hypnosis, and the deeper the hypnotic trance state will become.
Is Hypnotherapy safe?
Like daydreaming Hypnosis is a safe, natural phenomenon, you will always remain aware of your surroundings. The hypnotic state can be broken at any time, allowing you to attend to anything that you need to.
Hypnosis has been used for centuries and is recognised by medical practitioners in the National Health Service, where it is being successfully used to control the symptoms of IBS. It has helped millions of people to stop smoking, lose weight, and conquer their phobias and fears, such as fear of the dentist and fear of heights. Positive thoughts result in positive re-actions, which bring positive success and achievement.
When Hypnotherapy is used for improving health, the process can actually affect the way the body functions. By focusing on certain biological and physiological aspects of the body, whilst in a state of hypnosis, it is possible to cause blood to flow better, veins to dilate, heart rate to reduce, and white blood cells counts to increase, thus improving the immune system.
Self-Hypnosis is a powerful self-help tool for implementing change within your life. Hypnotherapy is simple, effective, and non-invasive, produces long-term changes, and can be used by almost everyone.
Hypnotherapy sessions often include the benefit of soothing music at strategic points, helping you to relax even more, and absorb the information whilst the therapist guides you with gentle suggestions, positive language, and life changing imagery. You will always be in control at all times, able to awaken immediately should the need arise and attend to anything that you need to. Hypnotherapy cannot make you do anything or say anything that you would not normally say or do, and it will never coerce you to try to.

Stop Reliance Netconnect Page From Opening When Reliance NetConnect Broadband + Data Card Connects To Internet
I have been using reliance netconnect broadband + from some time now, I am very satisfied with the fast browsing and downloading speed it offers. Since the day I started using it, firstly I faced the disconnection problem of reliance netconnect broadband + which I had solved and posted about and then I figured out a a way to check reliance netconnect broadband plus data card usage.
From the first day I have been annoyed by the reliance pop page which opens every time when I connect to Internet with reliance netconnect user interface software which I installed from the data card itself.
This direct URL to this page is
this page is quite relevant as it contains the link to the page where you can check the data usage of the reliance data card, but once you have noted down or bookmarked the login page to check the data card usage then this page is of no use. This page opens in the default browser every time you connect to internet with reliance netconnect card for reason and becomes a major annoying factor with time.
Here is how you can stop this page from opening every time you connect with internet
Make sure that your reliance data card is connected to your and detected in reliance netconnect interface (as shown in the image below).
Click the RED cross (close button) on the reliance netconnect to close the interface now, after clicking the close button you will see a warning message like the one shown below.
After clicking Ok you will see a new warning saying whether you just want to close the reliance netconnect interface or do you also want to shutdown the data card connected to your computer (as shown in the image below )
Click the button which says Quit application and Open Network Connections on your XP or Vista Computer
For XP
Open Start Menu >> Network Connections
For Vista
Open Start Menu >> Run and type the following command
and press Ok
This will open up network connections window which will have all the connections including wireless, LAN and Dial Up Connections, here you will see Reliance Dialup Connection for your data card.
As shown in image above right click on the dialup connection and create a desktop shortcut. You can use the desktop shortcut to connect to internet without opening the reliance netconnect page when its gets connected, but make sure that reliance netconnect interface it not running other wise the reliance netconnect page will open up in your default browser.
In order to connect to internet now, double click the desktop shortcut to the dialup connection
Double clicking this icon, will open up the dialog box to dial the connection to connect to internet
click Dial button to get connected to internet with out opening of the annoying reliance connect page. This time it will not open up any page when its gets connected to internet. After some seconds you can open any page in your browser to know whether you are connected or not. I invented this simple trick on my own, I hope you found this trick useful.

Worked like a charm…Thank you so much, it helped me get rid of this big time annoyance (By the way I use a reliance broadband + connection and the same technique worked fine)
Here i got the solution for this problem, After installing the Reliance netconnect. Go to Program File ->Reliance Netconnect – Broadband+ ->plugins ->XFramePlugin -> then look for file name Config.xml. right click-> open-with ->Word or Notepad Then look for tag "http://reliancenetconnect.co.in" change this to "about:blank" and save. Now disconnect and reconnect to the RNB+ the page will open as Blank.
is there any solution for mac users ? thanks
thanks…worked perfectly.
better just delete the homepage;) works… thankx for the trick…been searchin to stop the bugger;D
Hi i am getting an error while connecting Reliance broad band it's getting connecting & disconnecting in windows xp.& also a error of certain exe pops up CAN YOU PLZ LOOK INTO THE MATTER
This worked like magic! You are a genius! Cheers!
Hello Friend, It is really helped me to solve the issue , Very Very Very useful tricks!! Great .. .. Arun
Super! Excellent!!!
