I filmed an advertisment commercial for Prosperous E.V.E. to help show what their charity does. Helping less fortunate children in Columbia by donating school supplies, food, clothing, toys etc... The people I was in contact with at the Charity were some of the nicest, most supportive people I have met. They have also helped me out alot with my own personal venture by spreading my name out to others who might need my film services. They are all very great hearted people who are really passionate about making a difference!

I like to communicate with new non-profits to lend them a hand and guide them in the right direction. I came across Prosperous E.V.E. in NJ. I called and immediately got in contact with Founder, Nancy Elias. She has a bubbly attitude and was more than willing to give me all the information about the organization and how excited she is to make this cause grow. Her enthusiasm is so catchy that she has been able to gather volunteers and grow the organization in a matter a 2 to 3 months. I just wanted to let everyone know that this is a great organization that will make a difference and just as I have felt welcomed, I am sure they will make you feel the same. Start here and donate...

Explanation of the medical requirements for Private Balloon and Airship pilots (PPL (BA)) and for Commercial Balloon (CPL (B) restricted and unrestricted) and Commercial Airship (CPL (AS)) pilots.
Balloon and airship pilots require either a Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR) Class 2 medical certificate or a Medical Declaration (as required for a National Private Pilot's Licence) which is based on the DVLA driving medical standards, as listed in the table below:
| JAR Class 2 |
(Balloon) unrestricted Public transport | JAR Class 2 |
(Balloon) restricted Aerial work | Medical Declaration
DVLA Group 2 |
| Medical Declaration
If you are a student or private balloonist or airship pilot with a PPL(BA), and you do not wish to progress to a commercial licence, you should follow the procedures to obtain a Group 1 or 2 National PPL Medical Declaration which has to be signed by you and countersigned by your GP.
If you have, or will be applying for, a CPL(B) restricted to do aerial work ( ie, will not be undertaking public transport) you will need to reach DVLA Group 2 professional driving standards and should follow the procedures to obtain a NPPL Medical Declaration. This needs to be signed by you and then countersigned by your GP. You can use this Medical Declaration as a student or private balloon pilot whilst you are progressing to a CPL(B) restricted, thus removing the need for the countersignature of a new form when you obtain your CPL(B) restricted. If you do not have a GP, or your GP does not wish to countersign your Medical Declaration, you will need to obtain a JAR Class 2 medical certificate from an Aeromedical Examiner (AME) (see below). If you are a commercial airship pilot with a CPL(AS), or a commercial balloon pilot engaged in public transport with a CPL(B) unrestricted, you will require a JAR Class 2 medical certificate to maintain your licence privileges. The JAR Class 2 requirements, both at initial and revalidation/renewal examination, can be found in the section of this website on JAA medical requirements. The initial JAR Class 2 medical examination and any subsequent revalidation/renewal examinations can be carried out by any CAA approved UK AME.
Potential commercial airship pilots should be aware that if they fail the JAR Class 2 colour vision test, they will need to undertake advanced colour vision testing. This is to ensure they are 'colour safe' prior to undertaking night flying which is required as part of the CPL training.

My Rejuvenation - Norwich, CT
I was quite impressed with Dr. Berger. He prepared me very well for my surgery. He patiently answered all of my questions and allayed my anxieties so that I was not the least bit apprehensive at the time of my procedure. During my followup visits he was equally patient. He reassured me that I was healing quite well, and that everything was fine.

On Christmas Eve of 2010 I received a holster that I had ordered from Side Guard Holsters. It is the "Double-Tuck Clip." It is an excellent holster and very well made. I have a little story of an event that happened today that illustrates how good the holster actually is.
Yesterday I promised the boys that I would throw them a few pitches this morning before their baseball practice. This morning when I was getting ready, I forgot all about it. I had already gotten dressed with the gun strapped on and I was ready to go when my oldest son reminded me that I said I would throw him a few. I started to take my gun off, but then decided that it would be a good test to see how the holster did. I spent about 15 minutes throwing some pitches and chasing balls around the yard. The boys are in coach pitch / T-ball, so there tends to be a lot of chasing since neither one can throw the ball straight to me consistently (we're working on that). Anyway, I was very pleased because the gun never moved. The holster stayed put and I was never worried about the gun falling out.
The holster I had previous to this always moved around. Even when i would get in and out of the car, I could tell that things were not where they belonged. I would be in a parking lot trying to get everything situated, discretely, of course, before I went into a store. Now, I have no worries.
If anyone is looking for some new leather, I would recommend Erik's work at Side Guard Holsters without a doubt.

Great wendy from Lake Ariel, PA– Verified Buyer I bought the green and white. Can't believe that it so hard to find. The towels are great. I'll buy them again when I need more. The kids and dogs destroy towels. But these are nice, soft. Absorbent and sturdy. Can't beat the price! |

There was a special on that guy on discovery or some shit. Pretty cool. They are made to look real through a mono lens but still look cool if seen from the correct angle. He keeps the mono lens set up so bystanders can check it out. They look really crazy if looked at from the other angles.

The University of the Visayas is an educational institution located at Cebu City, Philippines. It is billed as the first university in Cebu City.
Campuses and location[edit]
The University of the Visayas is an eight-campus, province-wide system of higher education and lower level laboratory schools.
There are two campuses in Cebu City: the main campus occupying almost one city block bounded by Colon, D. Jakosalem and Sanciangko Streets and a laboratory high school in Pardo. The main campus has six multi-storey buildings including a gymnasium.
The Gullas Medical Center is located at Banilad, Mandaue City. It houses the Vicente Gullas Memorial Hospital, the Gullas College of Medicine, the UV College of Nursing, the Gullas College of Dentistry, the Tan Kim Ching Cancer Center and the up-coming Cosmetic Surgery Center including other health-related courses. Vicente Gullas Memorial Hospital is a 100-bed tertiary care hospital accredited by PhilHealth.
The campus in Punta Engano, Lapulapu City, has a port for the Maritime College's practical training at sea.
Other campuses are in the cities of Mandaue, Toledo and in the towns of Dalaguete, Minglanilla and Compostela in the province of Cebu.
The University of the Visayas was founded by the late Don Vicente A. Gullas in 1919 as the Visayan Institute (V.I.) in Cebu City. The second World War razed to the ground the physical facilities of the V.I. at its original site. Undaunted by adversities, Don Vicente reopened classes in Argao, Cebu in 1946. A year later the V.I. moved back to its present site in Colon Street, Cebu City.
As early as its founding, the V.I. had pioneered in education innovations to provide equal education opportunities for those who have the capability and the desire for improving themselves. It was the first to conduct night school class for working students in Cebu City in the 1940s. The "study now pay later plan" had been a practice at the V.I. long before it was adopted by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) in the 1980s.
In 1948, the Visayan Institute was awarded university status, the first to become a university in Cebu, and was renamed the University of the Visayas. Since then the expansion in its baccalaureate and post graduate course offerings and in its physical facilities has been phenomenal. From an initial enrollment of 37 students the V.I. evolved into a university with an enrollment of 20,000 distributed throughout its campuses. Its alumni have distinguished themselves in government service and public administration, and in the professions of law, engineering and architecture, pharmacy, medicine, nursing, education, criminology, maritime and nautical, computer studies as well as in sports and the arts.Compostela is the most known branches in UV.
The University of the Visayas is the center of excellence that inspired faith in the Almighty love, leadership and service to humanity.
While it nurtures academic excellence, it also works for the enhancement of high level professions and middle-level careers relevant to community development and the socio-economic needs of the country.
Colors and seal[edit]
The University of the Visayas colors are green and white. The corporate seal of the university is circular with the following inscriptions within the circle:
- University of the Visayas: Cebu City
- Amor Servitium Humanitas
- First University in Cebu: Founded 1919
The main shield of the seal features an open book, a torch of knowledge and the shrine of the Magellan's cross, a landmark of the City of Cebu.

(CBS News) When "Downton Abbey" returns on this side of the Atlantic in January, there will be a few new faces around the stately English manor.
PBS is giving fans a sneak peek at the new characters joining the show for season 4, with some intel from the cast and creators themselves.
In the video below, we meet Tom Cullen, who plays Lord Gillingham, a childhood friend of the Crawleys who serves as a potential new love interest for Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery).
"He's never managed to settle down," explains "Downton" creator Julian Fellowes. "Then he comes across Mary and he admires her very much."
"He's someone whose heart rules his head," adds producer Liz Trubridge.
Julian Ovenden plays Charles Blake, who works for the government and "immediately gets off on the wrong foot with Lady Mary," the actor says. "He has a bit of a chip on his shoulder about people with privilege."
There's a new valet, Green (played by Nigel Harman), and Raquel Cassidy plays Baxter, a new lady's maid for Lady Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) who has a secret that Thomas (Rob James-Collier) is keeping for her.
There are also two performers coming to "Downton"—Gary Carr portrays a singer named Jack Ross, the first black character to appear on the series, and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa plays Dame Nellie Melba, who Fellowes says was "the great opera star of that period."
"Downton Abbey" returns to PBS on Jan. 5. Watch that video, and a few other "Downton" sneak peeks, below:
