How to: Make your Own Personalized Ornaments
By: The Editors at FaveCrafts
Christmas is a cheery time for everyone. I love getting gifts almost as much as giving gifts. I love seeing the look on everyone's face when they open the gift from me. Personalized gifts are the greatest. They're cheap and meaningful. If you're trying to save money this year like I am then making things to give is the perfect way to go.
I have a big family; three older sisters who are all married and have kids, which means Christmas time, I have to buy gifts for about 15 people and that's just my immediate family. Then I have to buy something for my fiance and his family. It just keeps going and going. Every year is getting harder to buy since our family keeps growing. This year I've decided to do something different. I'm making my gifts.
I went to Michael's the other day and of course with my coupons I bought a bunch of crafting materials. The one thing I'm making for my sisters are scarves, but that's a whole different story. I'm also making them personalized ornaments. I haven't started making them yet, but I have some ideas. Some materials you can use to make homemade ornaments are:
- Ribbon
- Glitter
- Glitter or Paint Writing Pen
- Glue
- Stickers
- Stick-on Designs
- Plain ornament of your choice
With these materials you can use your imagination and create anything you like. I'm going to base my ornaments off of the beaded green ornament and the leaves and berries ornament. I absolutely love the glitter designs on this. You can do loops and swirls or polka dots. Whatever you wish, you can do because it's yours to create. I'm going to:
- Take my clear ornament and go at it.
- Put some glue on the back side of my ribbon and carefully place it diagonally on the ornament. I'll use two or three pieces to put around the whole ornament.
- Use a paint pen to write out the person's name.
- Using a glitter pen I can make swirls all over, but I like to do little dots on the end of each letter in their name.
If you're making a personalized ornament for a child then you can use cute little stickers. I know my niece likes Hannah Montana so if I can find some of those stickers she'll love me forever. If you use a bell-like ornament like the one listed above then you can tie the ribbon through the little whole. It adds a little color and flavor.
Other ways to personalize an ornament for someone:
- Use their favorite color.
- Add on little embellishments of their favorite things to do (soccer balls, ballerinas, dance shoes, music notes) anything at all.
- If there is an old memorabilia like a lucky shoelace or something of the sort, you can tie it at the top of the ornament. Or if they have a favorite magazine you can use pieces of it to decorate.
- There's some great ways you can decoupage an ornament as well.
- You can also use beads and sequins to decorate.
If you really want to save money and create your own personalized ornaments then you can reuse old CD's and make beaded CD ornaments. The more creative you are the more appreciative and special the ornament is going to be. Merry Christmas!

Fujifilm is encouraging users to drop, soak, freeze, and bury their latest offering: the rugged FinePix XP10, a dust-, freeze-, water-, and shock-proof compact camera announced today.
The "Four-Proof" XP10
The FinePix XP10 features a 12 megapixel CCD sensor and a back-panel 2.7 inch LCD display. Its 5x optical zoom includes a reinforced protective lens barrier for additional protection from the elements.

The XP10 also shoots 720p video with sound. Other specs include digital image stabilization, tracking autofocus, scene recognition, face detection, red-eye removal, and easy Facebook/YouTube upload functionality. The XP10 measures 21.7 mm thick at its thinnest point and comes with an internal ion battery good for up to 165 shots in between charges.

Florida's Largest Planned Solar Farm Project Moves Ahead
January 14, 2013
A company seeking to build Florida's largest solar farm received a county zoning change in December it sought to move forward in Lake County, Florida. BlueChip Energy was recently granted approval of new zoning for a solar farm 30 miles northwest of Orlando. Once the farm is completed, 174,000 photovoltaic panels will produce 100 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 22,000 homes. See the Orlando Sentinel story.

Most of the spelling error analysis has been conducted in Latin orthographies and rarely conducted in other orthographies like Arabic. Two hundred and eighty-eight students in grades 1–9 participated in the study. They were presented nine lists of words to test their spelling skills. Their spelling errors were analyzed by error categories. The most frequent errors were phonological. The results did not indicate any significant differences in the percentages of phonological errors across grades one to nine.Thus, phonology probably presents the greatest challenge to students developing spelling skills in Arabic.

(from l to r, myself, me at 1 yr. with sister 3 yrs., my mother at 17 - only photos available). Today, I'm taking a step back from my usual topic matter to
address some lighter thoughts. Just a
week or so ago, your children or grandchildren, stepped outside of those big
ol' school doors for the final time this
season, to embrace a lengthy vacation
known as the summer break or summer holidays.
Parents usually plan well ahead for such occasions by making special
care arrangements, if they are working parents, plan summer camp or day camp
outings, arrange family vacations, make plans to attend special events and
anything at all that will make these breaks especially memorable for the child
and parents alike. |


text: A Lesson in HistoryThursday afternoons always seemed to be the most stressful to Jack. So close to Friday-and by association, Saturday- and yet so far away. There was minimal homework to be done save for the consistent decree of generic studying, which seemed like a fruitless effort given the choice of scouring the small print of an out of date text book and playing Miko in a friendly rematch of Speed Demons II on the Gamestation. Gamestation always won out in the end. Unless something more interesting came about. Which was often. There never seemed to be a dull moment or a frame of time in which something interesting was not happening- be it an alien medic commandeering their science fair projects, an attack of small cannibalistic metal munchers from space, or an enemy sneaking into the base disguised as a beloved comrade from long ago the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing!All in all, Jack would have to say that the past few weeks had been keeping him very busy. So it was understandable that he

Ever since I started working with fish a few months ago, this has started happening. I will go home and either that night or the next night, I will notice a fishy odor. However, a few days later, if I am not working, and my pants are washed, the smell goes away. Again, this has only started happening since I began working with the fish, I don't like any fish, except for crustaceans, and it is VERY rare that I will eat them. Any help?
Dear Anon,
Working with fish can leave the smell on you and you may even smell it after you shower just because you work with it all day.
Just maintain good hygiene-- I'm sure what you're smelling is the actual fish smell from working all day and not your vagina.
Good luck,

Buju Banton
Buju Banton (born Mark Anthony Myrie 15 July 1973) is a Jamaican dancehall, ragga, and reggae musician. Banton has recorded pop and dance songs, as well as songs dealing with sociopolitical topics.
He released early dancehall singles in 1991, but came to prominence in 1992 with two albums, including Mr. Mention, which became the best-selling album in Jamaican history upon its release. Banton signed with major label Mercury Records and released Voice of Jamaica the following year. By the mid-1990s, Banton had converted to the Rastafari faith, and his music undertook a more spiritual tone. His 2010 album Before the Dawn won Best Reggae Album at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards.
Banton gained international notoriety early on in his career for the anti-gay track "Boom Bye Bye", as well as for his 2009 arrest and conviction in the United States on drug conspiracy and firearms charges, for which he is currently serving a ten-year federal prison sentence. He is scheduled to be released January 2019.�

Feiner Goes All-In as Las Vegas Sands New Chief Architect
Esquire magazine hailed Edward A. Feiner, FAIA, as the "most powerful architect in America" when he was chief architect of the General Services Administration's multibillion-dollar building program, and now he's on the move—again.
Feiner left the GSA in January 2005 to manage the Washington, D.C., office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Now the cowboy-booted architect is in Las Vegas to work for one of SOM's clients. On February 27th, Feiner begins his new job as senior vice president and chief architect for the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, an international casino and resort developer perhaps best known for its Italian-inspired casino, the Venetian.
"This was kind of a bigger decision than just switching jobs," said Gary Haney, the SOM partner who hired Feiner to head its Washington office. "It puts Ed back in a role that he served in the GSA, where he had many well-known architects working for him."
In a telephone interview from London, Haney said that Feiner "made a huge contribution" to the D.C. office and helped SOM reorganize the entire firm, which has nine offices spread across the globe. It doubled the size of its Washington branch to nearly 400 employees and added liaisons for all design disciplines to its major offices.
Feiner declined to discuss his new job. In a phone message from Las Vegas, he explained: "We're in a kind of sensitive period right now, so my new employers would really prefer if I don't say anything extensive at this point."
Sands spokesman Ron Reese said: "Our policy is that we don't comment on any hiring or any personnel move."
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Feiner's passion for excellence has some recalling what he said in a Wall Street Journal story last year. When a Harris Interactive poll of the public put rival MGM Mirage's Bellagio on the AIA's list of the 150 most beloved U.S. buildings he chimed, "The Bellagio—I can't believe it," he said. "The Bellagio is tasteless."
Bronx-bred Feiner is known for creating GSA's Design Excellence program in 1994, which lured internationally acclaimed architects such as Michael Graves and Charles Gwathmey to design federal buildings.
During his nine years as GSA's chief architect and 35 years with the federal government, Feiner won countless professional awards, including the American Institute of Architects' Thomas Jefferson Award for Public Architecture.
At the GSA, Feiner made a maximum annual base salary of $149,200. His private-sector earnings have not been disclosed. Speculation is that Feiner may have entered a new league: his new boss, Sheldon Adelson, is the third richest man in the U.S. with a net worth estimated last year by Forbes magazine at $28 billion.
Feiner earned architecture degrees from The Cooper Union in New York City and the Catholic University of America in Washington. He worked his final day at SOM on February 22, 2008.

English Clubs 'Get More' Off Fans Than Europe
English fans contribute more than Europeans to match-day club income, according to a newly released global football rich list.
Data in the Deloitte annual Money League for 2012-13 indicates English supporters on average generate 27% of clubs' revenue.
The EU average, when including Spain, Germany, France and Italy, is 20%.
Italian fans generate 13% of club income from tickets, French fans 15%, Germany 23% and Spanish supporters 24%.
Within English clubs there is also a large disparity in match-day revenue.
There are six English teams in the rich list top 20 - Manchester United, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.
The report shows that Arsenal receives the highest at 38% of its total revenue from match-day receipts.
It is more than twice the income Manchester City nets (15%) from match-day takings.
Liverpool takes 22% of income from match day, Chelsea and Tottenham 27%, and Man Utd 30%.
The average match-day revenue of the top 20 teams around the world is 22%.
Revenue from broadcasting averaged at 34% for the English teams.
Reviewing the data, Sky News financial analyst Timothy Pickles said: "There was a 4% fall in match-day income for those English clubs to £463m, which was driven by poor performances in European club competitions.
"But all clubs successfully grew commercial revenues to some extent, with the biggest winners being the Manchester clubs who accounted for 64% of this increase.
"Of the six English teams in the top 20, commercial revenues grew by £79m or an average of £13m per team. As a result, total commercial revenues increased to £560m, up 16% versus 2011/12."
Three more English teams are vying for inclusion in the global top 20 and may appear in the list next year.
Everton, West Ham and Newcastle are all challenging the incumbents and if they make the grade England will have the most teams in the top 20.

Hillbilly Report
Glendale, Kentucky
November 27, 2007
Ka-ching! It's Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott's turn to trade in his U.S. Capitol pin for cold hard cash on K Street.
The Mississippi Republican announced his resignation plans on Monday and, according to people close to him, the senator is kicking around a couple of private-sector options.
A near-certain scenario has him teaming up with his son, lobbyist Chester Lott, founder of Lott & Associates. Another, still fluid, idea is partnering with former Louisiana Democratic Sen. John Breaux, who is said to be mulling a departure from the lobbying powerhouse Patton Boggs. Breaux did not return calls for comment.
Of a Lott-Breaux partnership, one lobbyist quipped: "The only real question would be whether they would hire Brinks to bring in the money every day."

Buy-Rated Big-Bank Stocks to Trade Pre-Earnings
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Today I provide the 17 buy- or strong-buy-rated stocks in the PHLX KBW Banking Index (BKX), as these bank stocks should be considered "buy and trade" candidates in 2013.
The BKX includes the four banks considered "too big to fail." If you are already long any of these stocks you should consider shifting from a "buy and hold" investment strategy to a "buy and trade" strategy to take advantage of the ups and downs in the price of a stock; use GTC Limit Orders to buy weakness to a value level, and to sell strength to a risky level.
The daily chart for BKX ($52.89) is overbought with the 21-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages at $51.34, $49.78 and $47.77. The BKX traded to a 52-week high at $53.76 on Jan. 4 vs. this week's risky level at $53.69.
My monthly and semiannual value levels lag at $47.92 and $47.58, which is the downside risk on a disappointing earnings season. The upside potential is to the April 2010 high at $58.81.
Chart Courtesy of Thomson/Reuters
The finance sector is 12.8% overvalued and there are four of 16 sectors more overvalued. Between Friday and Jan. 28, the 17 banks I am profiling report their fourth-quarter earnings results, with 13 of them like a wave between Jan. 15 and Jan. 18. Today's table shows the date each bank reports and the current EPS estimate.
At www.ValuEngine.com we show two of the 17 stocks rated strong buy and 15 stocks rated buy. We show six bank stocks overvalued by 0.4% to 14.6% overvalued. The other 11 are undervalued by 1.9% to 30.9% undervalued. All 17 stocks had double-digit returns over the past 12 months with gains of 14.0% to 83.2%. The forecast one-year returns are not that robust, between 5.5% and 12.9%. Five of the banks have single-digit price-to-earnings ratios and 12 have reasonable P/E between 10.0 and 19.1. Only one of the 17 bank stocks is trading below its 200-day simple moving averages so reversion to the mean is an issue in 2013.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Scandal hit Mid Staffs 'faces being dissolved'
The scandal-hit Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust faces being dissolved after regulators announced the administration process was to begin.
The trust has been at the centre of one of the worst scandals in NHS history after neglect and abuse led to hundreds of needless deaths from 2005 to 2008.
Mid Staffordshire has also faced serious financial problems - it got a £20m bailout by government last year.
The regulator Monitor has now decided it should be put into administration.
This means an independent administrator will take over the running of the trust before coming up with proposals for the long-term.
A range of options are available, including closing down the trust altogether. If this happens essential services would be taken on by another organisation.
The administrator could also recommend the trust not be scrapped although it would not exist in its current form.
Monitor has decided "in principle" the process should start, although other bodies need to be consulted before the process officially starts.
That is only expected to take a couple of weeks.
Not sustainableIt is the second time an NHS trust has faced such a process - earlier this year the decision to break up South London Healthcare was agreed.
Mid Staffordshire looks after Stafford and Cannock Chase hospitals.
It was at the Stafford site that "appalling" care led to the deaths of more than 400 patients.
The decision to progress with administration does not mean services are dangerous.
Regulators have already closed down wards and operating theatres at the trust's hospitals that are not able to provide safe care.
But it does mean the trust in its current form has no future.
In many ways this was inevitable. The trust is one of the smallest in the country.
The size of its maternity and emergency services are already below what is considered appropriate in an era when care is increasingly being specialised.
Many trusts on this scale have question marks over their future.
But couple that with its legacy of being at the centre of a harrowing care scandal which meant patients were refusing to be treated there and health staff opting not to work there and you have a downward spiral that it could be argued was irreversible.
There has been five major investigations into what went wrong, including the public inquiry published earlier this month which criticised the whole NHS for the handling of the problems.
It has also been clear for some time that the trust was struggling financially.
A report by Monitor earlier said in order to break even there would need to be savings of 7% of its yearly budget.
It has now concluded that the trust is neither clinically nor financially sustainable in its current form.
David Bennett, the chief executive of Monitor, said: "We are now consulting on whether to appoint administrators with the expertise to reorganise services in a way which is clinically robust and sustainable.
"Their priority will be to make sure that patients can continue to access the services that they need and they will work with the local community to do this."
Once the administrator is appointed they will have 150 days to come up with proposals for the future of the trust.
The Department of Health in England said the serious financial challenges the trust was facing was "putting at risk its work on improving services".
"It is important that valued local services will last and are able to continue providing high quality treatment and advice for patients," the spokesman added.
Professor John Caldwell, the trust's chairman, said "We have accepted for some time that the trust, working alone cannot produce a long lasting solution to the issues we face.
"We will continue to work with our regulators and commissioners to deliver the services they require to our local community."
Julie Bailey, founder of the campaign group Cure the NHS, which brought the failings at the hospital to national attention, said: "We are obviously distressed. But this was inevitable really."
The news of the administration came on the day the families of victims of the Stafford Hospital scandal protested outside the NHS Commissioning Board HQ in Manchester.
About a dozen people held placards calling for the resignation of NHS Chief Executive Sir David Nicholson.
Sir David was head of the regional authority which oversaw the hospital for some of the period when the poor care took place.
During a meeting of the board chairman Prof Malcolm Grant publicly backed Sir David.
Next week the NHS boss is due to be quizzed by MPs on the health select committee.

I am raising two kids and although some days I feel completely alone I have a partner. All joking aside, Mike is great with the kids. I have been fighting the impulse to take over with them since...well always, but especially since Riley was born. I knew in my head I couldn't possibly do it alone, but my heart/hormones kept screaming that only I could do it "right." It took work to back off.
I imagine it's hard for any mother, but when you stay home with the kids it is your job. You spend 8-12hrs a day on weekdays (and some weekend days) taking care of the kids. It's hard to stop sometimes. During the week your partner comes home drained and doesn't, as my fantasies dictate, walk in the door, thank me and take over the kids. He's off the clock, but I'm not. After dinner, I calculate which nights are worth asking him to put the kids to bed and which night's it's just faster to do it myself. I save them up like get out of jail free cards.
Often when I have a break I find myself habitually tidying instead of doing something I need to do for me. I have to wake up out of my Mommy trance and tell myself to sit down and ignore that task for a minute. It isn't easy. In fact sometimes it's so hard to remember how to do things for myself I just don't for days. There is no physical boundary between work time and break time. This is one reason I find from time to time that I have forgotten to share the kid duties very equally.
Every now and then it'll occur to me Mike has no idea how to get both kids ready to go somewhere without me or Riley hasn't had a bed time story from Daddy in a while. It's important to me that my kids know they can get anything they need from either of their parents. It's also important to our relationship and my sanity that Mike and I always do our best to function as a team. Teamwork is not accomplished without a lot of effort and forethought. It is never, even on the best day equal (that's never the goal).
It's just a question of strengths and weaknesses. If it's crucial the kids go to sleep on time or the next day's events will be ruined then it's my turn. If my ankles/back/hips/whatevers are swollen and I'm exhausted it has to be his turn. Mike is the go to parent for running around and fixing broken toys. You get the picture. You can't ask the other parent to do it your way (with any degree of success) you just have to make sure you're comfortable with them doing it their way before you ask for help.
If you are never willing to ask, I suggest you start learning to let go. I hope you find a loving attempt to back you up when you need it and your kids have a much closer relationship with both of you as a result. Just like with everything else there are good days and bad days.

Tucson Symposium Attracts Over 450 Global Scientists Focused On Personalized Healthcare
TUCSON, Ariz., March 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For millions of patients, personalized healthcare, or fitting the right treatments to patients based on an individual's particular genetic make-up, means the difference between life and death. Our expanding knowledge of disease mechanisms and individual genetic variation, along with advanced testing technologies enables physicians to provide more precise diagnoses and targeted treatments for all patients, especially cancer patients. Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. ( Ventana), whose mission is to improve the lives of all patients afflicted with cancer, has been on the leading edge of the personalized healthcare revolution. Hosting the ninth annual Tucson Symposium--attended by over 450 of the world's top scientists, physicians and thought leaders in the field of pathology and oncology--underscores their deep commitment to setting entirely new standards for patient care. The 2013 Symposium will focus on the latest advancements in personalized healthcare including new technologies that enhance patient diagnosis, understanding mechanisms of disease resistance, and the pathology of DNA repair— along with the latest findings in specific types of cancers including colon, breast, lung, prostate, cervical, ovarian, and melanoma. "It becomes increasingly evident effective cancer treatment requires the use of particularly powerful combinations of cancer drugs. But which of the many possible drug combinations should be used for the treatment of an individual patient? Recent developments in genetic technologies have greatly expedited the search for powerful drug combinations in oncology. This holds great promise for the future treatment of cancer," says Rene Bernards, Professor of Molecular Carcinogenesis at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. "In recent years, the Tucson Symposium has developed itself into a major event that facilitates scientific collaborations from pathologists around the world with basic cancer researchers, oncologists and representatives from innovative biotech companies. Such meetings are of the tremendous importance in the era of personalized medicine. The participants from different fields and the scientific focus make the Tucson Symposium truly unique," says Holger Moch, Prof. Dr. med. Chairman, University Hospital Zurich, Department Pathology Zürich, Switzerland. "Personalized healthcare is ushering in a new era in the practice of medicine," says Ventana President Mara G. Aspinall. "In recent years, tremendous advancements have been made in science, highlighting the importance of treating each patient according to their unique genetic makeup. Ventana enables this through our sophisticated diagnostic instruments and tests that analyze human tissue to help identify those patients most likely to respond to a specific treatment as well as those patients for whom a treatment may be ineffective or even dangerous," Aspinall points out. "As personalized healthcare continues to advance, patients must be better educated about the specific cancer they're fighting, so they are better equipped to work with their physician on their personalized treatment plan." This exclusive event will be held March 12 – 13 at the Hilton El Conquistador Hotel and Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. For the local business community, the Tucson Symposium will also help spotlight the Southern Arizona region as a strong research hub for bioscience technology.

Beyond UTCS: Reaching Out to the Next Generation of Computer Scientists
UT Austin does more than just provide a world-class education to its own students. As a public school, we're constantly extending our resources and knowledge into the broader community that we're a part of.
UTCS Lecturer Alison Norman and a group of UTCS undergrads recently took a turn in giving back at Austin's Steiner Ranch Elementary School. They hosted a workshop to get kids interested in tech as part of the school's STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) after-school program.
At the workshop, Norman and her students taught the fifth graders to program flashing lights with Arduino, an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software, which received a lot of positive feedback throughout the school. Noticing that all of the UTCS students who volunteered were female, some of the elementary school girls who participated were excited to see that "there were so many girls that were into computers." More exciting yet is the possibility that this event peaked the younger girls interest in tech as well.

"Everything's happening at the same time," Feldner says, a few days after the Dead show. "I have a new band. The recording [for Trophy Wife's upcoming CD] is sounding great. We have a Website that's coming out." Feldner is sitting in Nexxt, a spotless coffee bar on Lincoln Road in South Beach, sipping from a cup of café latte. A resident of Hollywood, she declines to reveal her age, though she doesn't look a day past 28. When she speaks she edits herself, beginning as many as four sentences before settling on the one she wants. Twig-limbed and fair-skinned with long, wavy blond hair, she comes across as hyper-cheerful yet admits to being antisocial and loving dark clouds and rain.
No doubt much of the cheerfulness in Feldner's demeanor can be attributed to her new band. Though Trophy Wife has been through its share of lineup changes, Feldner feels that, with the recent acquisition of three new members, she finally has the band she's been waiting for. She fully appreciates her luck. Members moving or getting stolen away by other responsibilities often spells death for a band.
Feldner was fortunate. When her lead guitarist moved north to be with his girlfriend, in stepped Fernando Perdomo, the guitarist for the quirky, South Florida goof-rock act the Avenging Lawnmowers of Justice. Perdomo had been a faithful Trophy Wife follower for some time. "I was really into Karen's music," he says. "So when I found out that her interim guitarist was about to leave the band, I offered my help right away." Leery of formal auditions, Feldner decided simply to jam with Perdomo and see how it felt. He blew her away. By Feldner's estimate it took about three seconds to notice Perdomo's agility on the guitar and his flawless ear for music. She understood that not only had a new guitarist fallen into her lap but he was "a musical genius" to boot.
Her new bass player is Debbie Duke, of the prominent local rock band Sixo. Duke replaces Feldner's husband, George, who left Trophy Wife because of other obligations, such as running the studio he owns. Since marriage and music often make for a precarious coupling, George's bowing out was probably not a bad decision. Just ask Chrissie Hynde or Debbie Harry.
Feldner invited Derrick Cintron, of the local hard rock outfit Humbert, to play drums for Trophy Wife after Feldner's previous drummer was called away by other obligations. Cintron, who punishes the skins in a style reminiscent of Animal from The Muppet Show, recalls how he came to be included in Trophy Wife. "I didn't know [Feldner], but she knew some of the other guys [in Humbert]. We ended up talking for a little bit, and she gave me a copy of her CD. I called her up and told her, 'Man, this is a monster CD.' I really loved it. About a year later, she's minus a drummer and, knowing that I'm also a drummer "
Trophy Wife's new CD, projected for an October release, will feature this new lineup, the "best ever," according to Feldner. "This band has a much more exciting, raw sound than my last band . I've always wanted to play with the best musicians I could get. I'm kind of a -- " she leans in and lowers her voice, embarrassed " -- a musician snob. I have very high standards."
Those standards were attained through formal training at the University of Miami, where Feldner received a degree in studio jazz. The enhancement of her talents and knowledge prompted Feldner to reassess her musical potential. As a result, in 1996 -- after three years of handling backup vocals and keyboard duties for Natural Causes, South Florida's most popular rock act at the time -- Feldner split. She simply wanted more. "Natural Causes began to bore me," she explains. "I'd started writing a few songs, and [Natural Causes' frontman-songwriter] Arlan [Feiles] wasn't into letting me sing them. That was the beginning of the end."
She continued writing songs. And though she'd never taken a lesson, she wrote her songs on the guitar. "I didn't even know how to hold a pick. But I knew that the kind of music I wanted to write was not going to be written on the keyboard." In need of accompanying musicians, she then did something she had never had the urge to do before: She put together her own rock 'n' roll band.

Tell your Senators that you oppose the so-called "Marriage Protection Amendment."
Dear Senator,
As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to oppose the discriminatory, unnecessary, so-called "Marriage Protection Amendment."
(Edit Letter Below)
This amendment does nothing to "protect" marriage. Instead, it singles out a group of people for discrimination in the United States Constitution. The Constitution has always been used to guarantee rights and freedoms, not to take them away.
Further, this amendment would do real harm to same-sex couples and their children, who already do not enjoy the vast majority of benefits and protections that married couples enjoy.
I urge you to oppose this discriminatory amendment and to urge your colleagues in the Senate to focus on other issues that are priorities. I look forward to receiving your response.

A Complete Analog Design Flow for Verification Planning and Requirement Tracking
White Paper
Verifying designs to meet all specifications across all process corners has become an intractable problem from the perspective of debugging, managing, tracking, and meeting verification goals. Implementing a CDV methodology for analog designs can evolve analog design and verification to a standard process-based method that can be tracked and its progress measured. This paper aims to extend common traits of CDV as used in digital verification to analog verification and is an updated, expanded version of a previous paper "Verification Planning and Requirement Tracking for Analog Design."

Even though we ARE Nikon lovers,we are NOT affiliated with Nikon Corp. in any way.
Already have an account? Login
Hi! I purchased a D5100 last April and it has been working wonderfully, but last week when I had in it aperture priority, shutter priority, program or manual (any manual setting) the shutter acts kinda as if its getting stuck. It will close then take about 20-30 seconds to open back up and finish the shot. Kinda like its trying to do the bulb or time lapse photography. All of the other pre-programmed modes (auto, portrait, landscape etc)work perfectly fine, so I thought maybe I had accidentally turned on something that would cause this, but I have went in and reset all of my settings, cleaned the sensor, and made sure the time lapse exposure is off. Help!! Lol i have posted this in the repair forum too hoping i can find someone that can hell..advice would be appreciated! Thanks,Sam
Hi Samantha,Welcome to Nikonians!Sorry to hear of your problem.What is the shutter speed?In the Shooting menu (Camera Icon) What Release mode is set in the menu?Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!
Best Regards,Marty
When you reset all of my settings, did you use the two-button reset? That way you know everything is back to the factory defaults.
TJ McCarthyWarAxe Photography
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
I did the two button reset, and nothing changed.. The settings for the auto (which is working fine) is 1/13 and f5.6 so that's what I set in aperture priority manual and shutter as it is still sticking an showing blurred pictures. Then i set it in aperture priority and did it on the lowest setting to let all the light in that I can and it automaticallyput my settings at f5.6 and 4"....still doing the same thing.
Hi Samantha,Is Long Exposure Noise Reduction turned ON?After you capture the image do you see Job nr blinking in the viewfinder?You are obviously shooting in very low light.Given the slow shutter speed I would expect the images to be blurry if you are not using a tripod. Does the built in Speedlight pop up when you are in Auto mode?Try setting the camera in Manual exposure mode with the shutter speed set at 1/60th sec. or faster. Is the camera ready to capture another image immediately or is there still a delay. (Note: the image will probably be very dark.What happens in P, S, A, or M exposure modes when you shoot outdoors in daylight?Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!

Perhaps busier than the busiest executive is the heart. Contracting 100,000 times a day and pumping 5 to 6 litres of blood each minute, it is undoubtedly the most important organ in the body. What is more, it pumps 20 times the normal volume when you exercise.
The heart is a muscular organ located in the chest, or thoracic cavity, diagonally behind the chest or breastbone. Shaped and sized similar to that of a clenched fist, this small organ performs tremendous work to maintain life process.
Exercise regularly
The heart like any other muscle works better and more efficiently when it is in shape. And there's no better way to keep it in shape than regular exercise. As you exercise, your heart rate (the number of times your heart beats per minute) increases and more blood is pumped to muscles all over the body. With regular exercise, the heart muscles enlarge and you will require less effort for doing ordinary things like walking up a flight of stairs or running for the bus. Cardiovascular exercise can reduce high blood pressure by 10-20 mmHg, and may also reduce the risk of hypertensive medications. Regular exercise can lower serum cholesterol, which is directly related to the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Exercise strengthens the heart
The heart is a muscle and just like other muscles, it works better and more efficiently when it is in shape. Exercise makes the heart stronger, helping it to pump more blood with each heartbeat. A well-conditioned heart can pump a large amount of blood with fewer heartbeats than a weak heart. During exercise blood is pumped at a much faster rate – as much as 20 times the normal volume of blood.
Exercise can prevent heart disease
Physical inactivity is a major cause of heart disease. Exercise can reduce excess body weight, reduce total cholesterol levels, increase the good (HDL) cholesterol, high blood pressure and also control diabetes.
Include cardiovascular exercises
Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises target the large muscles of the body and create an increased demand for oxygen. These exercises improve the heart, circulatory and pulmonary system. Examples are walking, cycling, jogging, running, hiking, swimming, stair climbing, in-line skating, dancing. Recommended duration is between 20 to 60 minutes of continuous activity at an intensity of 55 per cent to 90 per cent of maximum heart rate, 5 to 6 days a week.
Regular daily routine doesn't count as exercise
You may think that the daily grind at your workplace or home would suffice for your exercise needs. But that's far from true. Regular aerobic exercises when performed adequately condition the heart and lungs.
You don't need to train like a marathon runner to become physically active; just incorporate an exercise regime you are comfortable with in your daily routine. In the beginning you could start with 30 minutes of exercise, 3 to 5 times a week.
Did you know during exercise
* The oxygen extraction from the blood at the capillary level increases from 25 per cent at rest to 85 per cent during exercise.
* The respiration rate increases, resulting in an increase in minute ventilation from 6 litres per minute to 100 litres or more with exercise.
* The stroke volume increases, resulting in 50 per cent to 60 per cent more blood pumped per heartbeat.
Danger signs
* Watch out for these factors that increase chances of heart ailments.
* Smoking
* Obesity
* Stress
* Diabetes
* High Cholesterol
* High blood pressure
* Sedentary lifestyle
Nutrition Do's and Don'ts
* DON'T snack on buttery breads, puris, fried samosas, meduvada. Try to consume baked, steamed foods instead of fried foods.
* DO select fresh fruits, sprouts, salad vegetables and curd, tofu or low fat paneer.
* DON'T order heavy, malai-based gravies, deep fried vegetables, full cream milk preparations or curries and biryanis with fried nuts.
* DO choose vegetables without creamy, rich sauces or gravies, as they are usually loaded with fat. Limit intake of saturated fats such as butter.
* DO ask for whole grain and unrefined foods such as multi-grain bread in sandwiches or whole wheat rotis and unpolished rice.
You don't need a new year for a resolution to keep healthy.
Make your resolution right now and do it for your heart's sake.

Love Barrow Award nominations reach record high
Last updated at 17:28, Thursday, 17 January 2013
A RECORD number of nominations piled in – and the shortlist of inspirational finalists for the Love Barrow Awards 2013 can today be revealed.
The awards are held each year to recognise unsung individuals and groups who make the Barrow borough special.

CERTPOINT (formerly Vuepoint) was founded in 1996 in New York by Constantin and Ara Ohanian, father and son, to help large corporations transform business critical knowledge into measurable business results. Since then, the CERTPOINT shareholding has broadened to include institutional investors and venture capitalists such as Wheatley Partners and Hudson Venture Partners as well as the Centre for Excellence in Advanced Research and Training (CERT) in the United Arab Emirates.
The company's first client was The Hartford Insurance. Over a decade later of successful implementations later, Hartford remains a client, and CERTPOINT's software platform (CERTPOINTVLS) is now in its 7th generation. It is trusted by organizations such as Toyota, Honda, John Crane, Stanley Black & Decker, Weight Watchers, and Motorola in over 40 countries and is deployed in over 30 languages. Far more than simply a way of pushing out courses, CERTPOINTVLS provides a way for these organizations' employees to manage their own personal learning and development using both formal and informal learning.
On June 1, 2007 Vuepoint and Centre of Excellence for Applied Research and Training (CERT), the largest private training company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) became partners and Vuepoint was renamed CERTPOINT Systems Inc. CERTPOINT's offices are located in many different parts of the world, including the US, Europe, Africa and Middle East.


text: I finally got my Glibc to configure and install. I had misread a couple of steps and was hopelessly lost, so I just went back to square one. Now the problem comes with the next step. When I try to amend the GCC specs file and I issue the commands as ordered (SPECFILE=/tools/lib/gcc-lib/*/*/specs, etc) I get the following errors [1]26212 bash: tempspecfile: No such file or directory. Needless to say when I for the next step to perform the sanity check at the bottom of the page I get nada. Any ideas how to trouble shoot this? The book says it is most likely in the Specfile setup, so I have to assume all of the previous steps are valid. This is LFS 5.0 using Red Hat 8.0 as the base. -- John Cheyney RN, BSN, BA, CCRN 1213 McHam Irving, Texas 75062 jccheyney at comcast.net
