I'm very happy with this bed. Looks great, comes together easily, and doesn't wiegh that much when you concider how solid it feels. The frame the mattress sits on is solid, and doesn't have the cheap slats you see often, so the bed really feels like it's on a solid platform.
Purchased this in white about a year ago. Still crisp and easy to clean. Our dog even sleeps on it with us sometimes and even with that, it has withheld. Seems very solid. Just remember it is quite a low bed so getting in and out of it takes some getting used to! We get a lot of comments on it and it looks very modern.I really like the tables on the side that swing in and out. I suggest keeping them out while sleeping because sometimes a falling pillow can knock over a glass of water or two! If you are looking for a very different and modern bed, and don't mind a low bed, then this is the bed for you! :-)
Love this bed so much!! Just fit in our bedroom perfectly! Me and my husband got a lot of compliments for this bed...everybody love it!
It fit just right in our bedroom! makes the room have a nice feel and it gets lots of compliments.
Excellent product never slept so soundly. Assembly was quick and painless.

When should the competition be held?
Competitions can be scheduled any time from March 1 - early/mid-May. Competitions can be held on a weekend or weekday - whichever works best for your organization and potential participants. Local hosts typically have the most participation when the competition is held along with a large league event, such as Opening Day, Picture day or as part of PE classes, or after-school activities.Why "mid May?"
Your Local competition should be completed prior to the Sectional competition that you are assigned to in your area so that your local winners have the opportunity to advance. Some Sectionals take place in late May or early June, which means you COULD schedule your Local competition later in May if you find out that your corresponding Sectional is scheduled later. To avoid any conflict with the winners advancing in the competition, please attempt to run your local event in March, April or in the first week of May.Do Boys and Girls compete separately?
Yes. Boys and girls will compete and advance separately throughout the competition. Girls will compete in a softball division and boys will compete in a baseball division.
Can I host both baseball and softball competitions on the same day/time?
Yes. It is very efficient to have baseball and softball competitions occurring at the same time. Girls and Boys can compete in the same age groups, however are scored and awarded separately. Boys will use a baseball throughout the competition and girls will use a softball.
I want to host a softball competition, is it also required to host a baseball competition (or vice versa)?
Your local competition is not required to include both baseball and softball; however we encourage you to open your competition to both boys and girls in your community that want to compete. It is very simple to score and award the separate divisions.
Is it required to have a minimum number of participants per age or gender group?
No. It is recommended that a Local competition consist of a minimum of 30 participants, but there is no minimum required per age or gender group.
How should I set up the competition? Can I use just one field or should I use multiple fields?
You can do either. We recommend that you structure the competition so that participants rotate through the skills. If you use one field, you can set it up so that hitting takes place on the field, while pitching takes place down the right or left field line, in a bullpen, or right outside the field (a pitcher's mound is not required). Running can then take place at the end, as it takes the least amount of time.
If you have a large amount of participants, we recommend that you use multiple fields to be more efficient. By using multiple fields, you can have different skills being conducted on each field and have the participants rotate.
What type of facility do I need to host this event?
A baseball/softball field is obviously the ideal location for the competition, but if you don't have a baseball/softball field available, the competition may still be held in an open field. You can use the handbook and a tape measure to measure out the distances.
Indoor facilities are fine, but usually aren't able to accommodate the hitting portion of the competition. You can have pitching and running indoors and move hitting to an outdoor parking lot or field, if one is available.
What is included in the administrator kit?
Your free local administrator kit will include a handbook (contains all the instructions you need on how to set up and run a successful competition), registration forms, award certificates, promotional posters, a "strike zone" banner, participation cards and other information required to host your event.
When will I receive my administrator kit?
If you sign up to host a competition prior to February, you will receive your kit by the end of February. Otherwise, you will receive your kit within 1-2 weeks of PHR National Headquarters receiving your online sign-up.
Is it required to know the finalized competition date, time and location for my competition prior to signing-up to host?
No. If you are unsure as to when exactly your event will take place, you may register now and email that information to email@example.com at a later date. However, it is strongly recommended to submit your finalized date, time and location as soon as possible. Please understand the number of competitions is capped this year, therefore we need to receive competition details and results for each kit that is shipped.
Can I use PHR as a fundraiser?
PHR is promoted as a free program, so you cannot charge participants to compete. However, some hosts choose to have raffles, merchandise/concession sales, carnivals or other fundraising opportunities going on in conjunction with the competition day.
Can I run this program in my school?
Yes. You may run this program as part of PE classes, a school field day or as an after-school activity.
Can I host multiple Local competitions?
Yes. You may host multiple Local competitions if you have different groups, sites or leagues in your area to which you can offer the program. Hosting multiple competitions is a great way to allow multiple sets of winners from your area to advance to the next level of competition. Keep in mind each Local competition should have a minimum of 30 participants and participants may only compete in one Local competition.
Can I pre-register participants for the competition?
Yes. Once you receive your administrative kit, you may distribute the registration forms provided and have participants pre-register. If you have signed up and would like to start distributing registration forms prior to receiving your kit, please email email@example.com.
When and where will the Sectional competition take place?
Sectional competitions will take place from mid/late May to early June. Sectional sites will be determined based on prior experience and where Local competitions break out geographically. You will be notified by your state coordinator or PHR National Headquarters as to when and where the Sectional will occur. If you have not received Sectional information from your state coordinator or PHR National Headquarters by the first week in May, please email email@example.com immediately.
Who will notify my Local competition winners with the Sectional information?
It is the Local competition host's responsibility to notify his or her winners of the Sectional competition information.
How many participants advance in each age group?
The number of participants advancing in each age group will vary. The following competitors will advance in each age and gender group: All-Around Champion, Pitching Champion, Hitting Champion, and Running Champion.
Please note that one child may win every category, in which case only that competitor would advance for that age and gender group. For another example, the Pitching Champion may also be the Running Champion. If this is the case, only that competitor will advance for both categories. Second place participants will not advance just because one person wins more than one category.
In addition, you may have ties for the Pitching, Hitting or Running Champion (most common in Pitching) - in that scenario, everyone who tied for 1st will advance (unless competitors tie for 1st with the minimum score of 50 points, in which case they would not advance based on that skill).
How long will the competition last?
Research shows that it takes each participant approximately two minutes to complete the competition. You can cut down on time by offering pre-registration and by offering multiple stations on multiple fields.
How do I promote my Local competition?
Provided in your administrative folder is a Local Competition Press Release. You may fill this out and distribute it to your local media outlets - newspaper, television, radio, etc. Also provided in your administrative folder are promotional posters that you can fill out and post around your town as well as a sample flyer.
Leagues can have their coaches get the word out to their teams. They can also have coaches commit to bringing their kids to compete in the competition at a certain time. Recreation departments and community organizations often put notification of the competition on their website or in their newsletters announcing upcoming events. Another idea is to use your social networking sites to recruit participants and extra volunteers.
Can I use the PHR logo in my promotional material?
If you would like to use the PHR logo, you must first contact PHR Headquarters at email@example.com to request use. You will have to provide a proof of how you plan to use the logo.

There are 16 ethnic groups that make up Liberia's indigenous population. The Kpelle in central and western Liberia is the largest ethnic group. Americo-Liberians who are descendants of freed slaves that arrived in Liberia early in 1821 make up an estimated 5% of the population.
There also are sizable numbers of Lebanese, Indians, and other West African nationals who comprise part of Liberia's business community. The Liberian constitution restricts citizenship to only people of Negro descent, and land ownership is restricted to citizens.
Liberia was traditionally noted for its academic institutions, iron-mining, and rubber. Political upheavals beginning in the 1980s and a 14-year civil war (1989-2003) largely destroyed Liberia's economy and brought a steep decline in living standards.
Portuguese explorers established contacts with Liberia as early as 1461 and named the area Grain Coast because of the abundance of "grains of paradise" (Malegueta pepper seeds). In 1663 the British installed trading posts on the Grain Coast, but the Dutch destroyed these posts a year later. There were no further reports of European settlements along the Grain Coast until the arrival of freed slaves in the early 1800s.
Liberia, "land of the free," was founded by free African-Americans and freed slaves from the United States in 1820. An initial group of 86 immigrants, who came to be called Americo-Liberians, established a settlement in Christopolis (now Monrovia, named after U.S. President James Monroe) on February 6, 1820.
Thousands of freed American slaves and free African-Americans arrived during the following years, leading to the formation of more settlements and culminating in a declaration of independence of the Republic of Liberia on July 26, 1847. The drive to resettle freed slaves in Africa was promoted by the American Colonization Society (ACS), an organization of white clergymen, abolitionists, and slave owners founded in 1816 by Robert Finley, a Presbyterian minister. Between 1821 and 1867 the ACS resettled some 10,000 African-Americans and several thousand Africans from interdicted slave ships; it governed the Commonwealth of Liberia until independence in 1847.
In Liberia's early years, the Americo-Liberian settlers periodically encountered stiff and sometimes violent opposition from indigenous Africans, who were excluded from citizenship in the new Republic until 1904. At the same time, British and French colonial expansionists encroached upon Liberia, taking over much of its territory. Politically, the country was a one-party state ruled by the True Whig Party (TWP). Joseph Jenkins Roberts, who was born and raised in America, was Liberia's first President. The style of government and constitution was fashioned on that of the United States, and the Americo-Liberian elite monopolized political power and restricted the voting rights of the indigenous population. The True Whig Party dominated all sectors of Liberia from independence in 1847 until April 12, 1980, when indigenous Liberian Master Sergeant Samuel K. Doe (from the Krahn ethnic group) seized power in a coup d'etat. Doe's forces executed President William R. Tolbert and several officials of his government, mostly of Americo-Liberian descent. One hundred and thirty-three years of Americo-Liberian political domination ended with the formation of the People's Redemption Council (PRC).
Over time, the Doe government began promoting members of Doe's Krahn ethnic group, who soon dominated political and military life in Liberia. This raised ethnic tension and caused frequent hostilities between the politically and militarily dominant Krahns and other ethnic groups in the country.
After the October 1985 elections, characterized by widespread fraud, Doe solidified his control. The period after the elections saw increased human rights abuses, corruption, and ethnic tensions. The standard of living further deteriorated. On November 12, 1985, former Army Commanding Gen. Thomas Quiwonkpa almost succeeded in toppling Doe's government. The Armed Forces of Liberia repelled Quiwonkpa's attack and executed him in Monrovia. Doe's Krahn-dominated forces carried out reprisals against Mano and Gio civilians suspected of supporting Quiwonkpa.
Despite Doe's poor human rights record and questionable democratic credentials, he retained close relations with Washington. A staunch U.S. ally, Doe met twice with President Ronald Reagan and enjoyed considerable U.S. financial support.
On December 24, 1989, a small band of rebels led by Doe's former procurement chief, Charles Taylor, invaded Liberia from Cote d'Ivoire. Taylor and his National Patriotic Front rebels rapidly gained the support of many Liberians and reached the outskirts of Monrovia within six months.
From 1989 to 1996 one of Africa's bloodiest civil wars ensued, claiming the lives of more than 200,000 Liberians and displacing a million others into refugee camps in neighboring countries. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) intervened in 1990 and succeeded in preventing Charles Taylor from capturing Monrovia. Prince Johnson--formerly a member of Taylor's National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL)--formed the break-away Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL). Johnson's forces captured and killed Doe on September 9, 1990. Taking refuge in Sierra Leone and other neighboring countries, former AFL soldiers founded the new insurgent United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy (ULIMO), fighting back Taylor's NPFL.
An Interim Government of National Unity (IGNU) was formed in Gambia under the auspices of ECOWAS in October 1990, headed by Dr. Amos C. Sawyer. Taylor (along with other Liberian factions) refused to work with the interim government and continued fighting. After more than a dozen peace accords and declining military power, Taylor finally agreed to the formation of a five-man transitional government. A hasty disarmament and demobilization of warring factions was followed by special elections on July 19, 1997. Charles Taylor and his National Patriotic Party emerged victorious. Taylor won the election by a large majority, primarily because Liberians feared a return to war had Taylor lost.
For the next six years, the Taylor government did not improve the lives of Liberians. Unemployment and illiteracy stood above 75%, and little investment was made in the country's infrastructure. Liberia is still recovering from the ravages of war; pipe-borne water and electricity are generally unavailable to most of the population, especially outside Monrovia, and schools, hospitals, roads, and infrastructure remain derelict. Rather than work to improve the lives of Liberians, Taylor supported the Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone (see Sierra Leone Country Background Note). Taylor's misrule led to the resumption of armed rebellion from among Taylor's former adversaries. By 2003, armed groups called "Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy" (LURD) and "Movement for Democracy in Liberia" (MODEL), largely representing elements of the former ULIMO-K and ULIMO-J factions that fought Taylor during Liberia's previous civil war (1989-1996), were challenging Taylor and his increasingly fragmented supporters on the outskirts of Monrovia.
On June 4, 2003 in Accra, Ghana, ECOWAS facilitated peace talks among the Government of Liberia, civil society, and the LURD and MODEL rebel groups. On the same day, the Chief Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone issued a press statement announcing the opening of a sealed March 7, 2003 indictment of Liberian President Charles Taylor for "bearing the greatest responsibility" for atrocities in Sierra Leone since November 1996. In July 2003 the Government of Liberia, LURD, and MODEL signed a cease-fire that all sides failed to respect; bitter fighting reached downtown Monrovia in July and August 2003, creating a massive humanitarian disaster.
On August 11, 2003, under intense U.S. and international pressure, President Taylor resigned office and departed into exile in Nigeria. This move paved the way for the deployment by ECOWAS of what became a 3,600-strong peacekeeping mission in Liberia (ECOMIL). On August 18, leaders from the Liberian Government, the rebels, political parties, and civil society signed a comprehensive peace agreement that laid the framework for constructing a 2-year National Transitional Government of Liberia (NTGL), headed by businessman Gyude Bryant. The UN took over security in Liberia in October 2003, subsuming ECOMIL into the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), a force that grew to its present size of over 12,000 troops and 1,148 police officers.
The October 11, 2005 presidential and legislative elections and the subsequent November 8, 2005 presidential run-off were the most free, fair, and peaceful elections in Liberia's history. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf defeated international soccer star George Weah 59.4% to 40.6% to become Africa's first democratically elected female president. She was inaugurated in January 2006 and formed a government of technocrats drawn from among Liberia's ethnic groups and including members of the Liberian diaspora who had returned to the country to rebuild government institutions. The president's party, the Unity Party, does not control the legislature, in which 12 of the 30 registered political parties are represented.
The political situation has remained stable since the 2005 elections. The Government of Liberia has made positive strides aimed at political stability and economic recovery. President Sirleaf has taken a public stance against corruption and has dismissed several government officials. The President is supported by highly experienced and technically competent senior officials, and the public has more confidence in her administration than in any of its recent predecessors. President Sirleaf enjoys good relations with international organizations and donor governments, with whom she is working closely on Liberia's development. The national legislature has enacted several key reforms.
In order to maintain stability through the post-conflict period, Liberia's security sector reform efforts have led to the disarmament of more than 100,000 ex-combatants, the wholesale U.S.-led reconstruction of the Armed Forces of Liberia, and a UN-led effort to overhaul the Liberian National Police. The mandate of UNMIL has been extended to September 2008 and a gradual drawdown will commence in 2008, to last several years. During this period the Government of Liberia and its development partners will focus on creating jobs, attracting investment, and providing education and other essential services to Liberia's communities. The Government of Liberia won substantial donor support for its new Poverty Reduction Strategy at the June 2008 Liberia Poverty Reduction Forum in Berlin, Germany.
Liberia has a bicameral legislature consisting of 64 representatives and 30 senators. The 2005 election placed a spectrum of political personalities in the legislature, most for six-year terms. Senior senators were elected for nine-year terms. Party structures remain weak, and politics continues to be personality-driven. Historically, the executive branch heavily influenced the legislature and judicial system.
The judiciary is divided into four levels, including justices of the peace, courts of record (magistrate courts), courts of first instance (circuit and specialty courts), and the Supreme Court. Traditional courts and lay courts exist in rural areas of the country. Trial by ordeal, though officially outlawed, is practiced in various parts of Liberia. The formal judicial system remains hampered by severe shortages of qualified judges and other judicial officials. Locally, political power emanates from traditional chiefs (town, clan, or paramount chiefs), mayors, and district commissioners. Mayors are elected in principal cities in Liberia. Superintendents appointed by the president govern the counties. There are 15 counties in Liberia.

Liberia maintains an embassy in the United States at 5201 16th Street, NW, Washington DC, 202-723-0437.
The Liberian economy relied heavily on the mining of iron ore and on the export of natural rubber prior to the civil war. Liberia was a major exporter of iron ore on the world market. In the 1970s and 1980s, iron mining accounted for more than half of Liberia's export earnings. Following the coup d'etat of 1980, the country's economic growth rate slowed down because of a decline in the demand for iron ore on the world market and political upheavals in Liberia.
The 1989-2003 civil war had a devastating effect on the country's economy. Most major businesses were destroyed or heavily damaged, and most foreign investors and businesses left the country. Iron ore production stopped completely, and the United Nations banned timber and diamond exports from Liberia. UN sanctions on Liberian timber were removed in 2006; activity in the timber sector is expected to resume on a large scale during the October 2008-May 2009 dry season. Diamond sanctions were terminated by the UN Security Council in April 2007, and Liberian diamond exports have resumed through the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme. Gold deposits, some of which are currently nearing production, should soon begin to contribute to government revenues and provide additional employment.
Currently, Liberia's revenues come primarily from rubber exports and revenues from its maritime registry program. Liberia has the second-largest maritime registry in the world; there are 2,724 vessels totaling 83.3 million gross tons registered under its flag, earning some $16 million in maritime revenue in Liberian FY 2007/2008 (July 1-June 30). There is increasing interest in the possibility of commercially exploitable offshore crude oil deposits along Liberia's Atlantic Coast.
With a democratically elected government in place since January 2006, Liberia seeks to reconstruct its shattered economy. The Governance and Economic Management Assistance Program (GEMAP), which started under the 2003-2006 transitional government, is designed to help the Liberian Government raise and spend revenues in an efficient, transparent way. In addition, the Liberian Government is working to improve the business climate, has formed a commission to deal with land tenure issues, and is reviewing tax and tariff regimes to harmonize them with neighbors in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The Liberian National Investment Commission reported $97 million in new investment in 2007 and has set a target of $100 million a year for future years. Investors are finding opportunities in mining, rubber, agro-forestry, light industry, and other sectors. Arcelor Mittal Steel has negotiated an agreement to invest over $1.5 billion in the mining sector, and the Liberian Government is engaged in negotiations with several other large foreign investors.
Years of conflict and mismanagement also left Liberia with a large debt burden of $3.4 billion, owed to multilateral development banks, bilateral creditors, and commercial creditors. On June 12, 2008, the United States became the first bilateral creditor to sign a bilateral agreement implementing the Paris Club's April 2008 debt treatment for Liberia. Several other bilateral creditors have pledged debt relief, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and African Development Bank have approved a formal program to clear Liberia's $1.5 billion in arrears to international financial institutions. With this support, and with technical assistance provided by Liberia's international partners, the Liberian Government seeks to make key economic reforms to attract investment and qualify for eventual debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative.
Liberia has maintained traditionally cordial relations with the West. Liberia currently also maintains diplomatic relations with Libya, Cuba, and China.
Liberia is a founding member of the United Nations and its specialized agencies and is a member of the African Union (AU), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Development Bank (ADB), the Mano River Union (MRU), and the Non-Aligned Movement.
During the administration of Charles Taylor, relations between Liberia and its West African neighbors became seriously strained. West African countries backed by the African Union and the United Nations negotiated a peace agreement in Accra, Ghana that subsequently led to the exile of Charles Taylor to Nigeria in August 2003. With the election of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberia has seen significant improvements in relations with its West African neighbors and the wider world. Relations between Liberia and its immediate neighbors in the Mano River region are back on track, and efforts are underway to strengthen relations with other countries. Liberia currently holds the chairmanship of the reinvigorated Mano River Union. Liberia signed a non-aggression pact with Sierra Leone when newly elected President Ernest Bai Koroma visited in September 2007. Liberia is a major proponent of regional integration.
Liberia has taken steps to forge closer ties with Western countries, especially the United States. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has visited several Western countries, including the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Spain, France, and Germany. President Sirleaf has also visited China and Libya, with whom Liberia maintains close ties.
Congress appropriated $100,000 in 1819 for the establishment of Liberia (and resettlement of freemen and freed slaves from North America) by the American Colonization Society, led by prominent Americans such as Francis Scott Key, George Washington's nephew Bushrod, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and Presidents Monroe, Adams, and Jackson. The first group of settlers arrived in Liberia from the United States in the 1820s. The United States, which officially recognized Liberia in 1862, shared particularly close relations with Liberia during the Cold War.
The outbreak of civil war in Liberia and the long dominance of Charles Taylor soured bilateral relations. However, Liberia now counts the United States as its strongest supporter in its democratization and reconstruction efforts. Since the end of Liberia's civil war in 2003, the United States has contributed over $750 million in bilateral assistance and more than $750 million in assessed contributions to the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL). In the current fiscal year, the U.S. will commit another $162 million bilaterally and $179 million through UNMIL. In February 2008, President Bush visited Liberia, where he held his fourth one-on-one meeting with President Sirleaf since Sirleaf's inauguration in January 2006. Peace Corps volunteers will return to Liberia in 2008 for the first time since 1990.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) implements the U.S. Government's development assistance program in Liberia, the second-largest USAID development program in Africa. USAID's post-conflict rebuilding strategy focuses on reintegration and is increasingly moving towards a longer-term development focus. Rehabilitation efforts include national and community infrastructure projects, such as expanding access to electricity, building roads, refurbishing government buildings, training Liberians in vocational skills, promoting business development, and improving livelihoods while protecting Liberia's forests. USAID also funds basic education programs, improving education for children, focusing on girls, and training teachers. In the health area, USAID programs include primary health care clinics, HIV/AIDS prevention, and a large malaria program. USAID supports rule of law programs, establishing legal aid clinics and victim abuse centers, training judges and lawyers, community peace building and reconciliation efforts, and anti-corruption projects to promote transparency and accountability in public sector entities. USAID is also providing support to strengthen the legislature and other political processes. USAID is strengthening civil society's role in delivering services and advocating good governance. Total USAID funding in FY 2008 is $105 million.

Vacuum regularly to prevent dust and crumbs from settling into roots of fibers. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Use rug protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to avoid flattening piles. Turn rug around occasionally to equalize wear. Remove spills immediately; if liquid, blot with clean, undyed cloth by pressing firmly around the spill to absorb as much as possible. For hard-to remove stains professional rug cleaning is recommended. Excess dye may transfer to other fabrics; this is inherent in the nature of overdyed textiles.

1 tsp. vanilla extract
Don't worry, we aren't using that whole bottle of Coke.
Do your best to spread it out evenly.
You can see my cake has a little dip in the middle.
Don't worry, just spread the frosting away from the center as best you can.
Here is the best way to serve it. A warm slice of cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Cook's Note: If you are using milk instead of heavy cream, you will probably only need about 3-4 tbsp. of it because milk is thinner than heavy cream. Just use your judgement on it. Or, you can always add a bit more powdered sugar to the frosting to make it thicker if you like.

Due to the lackluster response of my other post I'm curious as to how many people own a 305?
I own one...great guitar...other than me though I've heard only a handful of people talk about them.
Hans is exempt from the question obviously because he owns a 305...then again I'm not sure the Raven qualifies as a 305 anymore.

Country music star Gary Allan will be hitting the road again for the Gary Allan 2015 tour. Gary Allan hails from La Mirada, California. From an early age he had a passion for music. At only 15 years-old, Allan was offered a recording contract from A&M Records, but his parents turned the deal down so that he could finish his education. After high school Gary was part of a band called Honky Tonk Wranglers, who became respected in the bar and club scene. Promoters even tried to get the band to play bigger venues, but that would have required them to stop playing covers of older country music songs, which did not sit right with Allan. Gary hit the big leagues in 1996 when he got his first record deal. He was signed to Decca Records and they produced his first album Used Heart For Sale. His album was named "Best of the Month" by Stereo Review. Allan has produced ten records in total over his career so far, the most recent being 2013's Set You Free. 1996's Used Heart For Sale was certified gold by the RIAA. After his first two albums were released, Allan switched recording companies and signed a contract with MCA Nashville. His first platinum album came from his third album, Smoke Rings in the Dark, but his achievements didn't stop there. The next two albums - Alright Guy and See If I Care also went platinum. Allan's latest album, Set You Free, is a reflection of the trials and tribulations Allan has overcome. Its deep-rooted personal songs has allowed country music fans to see a different side of Gary Allan. Gary's voice is similiar to that of Bob Dylan - "raspy and unpolished." His music is elegant, and his songs "tend toward manly understanding," states The New York Times. Allan's style aligns with pop-country, like some of his contemporaries, Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line. Allan wants his songs to be soulful and resonate with his fans. Though he has had a hard time getting mainstream radio play, that hasn't stopped many people from falling in love with his music. So don't delay, buy tickets to one of the hottest country music concerts of the year today! Gary Allan tour tickets are the perfect gift for any country music fan. |

29.04.2012 /
Italian Lorenzo Baldassarri ended his weekend on the Jerez racing circuit with a flourish when he sealed victory in the second of two opening races in the 2012 Red Bull Rookies Cup in a near photo finish ahead of Portugal's Ivo Lopes and Spain's Diego Perez.
Baldassari's win gives him a slender one point lead in the overall standings at the close of the first race weekend as the 15-year-old pursues his second consecutive title in this competition that grooms talented young riders for a future racing career.
"It was a fantastic race," said Baldassarri. "I was right in the middle of a very big group and we were all fighting so hard. What was great for me is that I found the rhythm with the KTM again and was comfortable on it. I managed to work my way to the front. In the last laps I knew it would be difficult and at the last corner I just tried to get the perfect drive and hoped."
With Baldassarri taking the race by just five thousandths of a second it was obvious that Lopes was less thrilled with the result. "It was just an incredible race. I think we were 20 guys all in one pack, unbelievable. It was so tough, I just kept pushing, pushing, pushing until I could work my way to the front. Then I went for the win, I thought I had it as I crossed the line – then I saw Baldassarri. At least I go to my home track knowing I can do it. Only winning will be OK there." For Perez it was his second podium in two days and certainly a confidence booster as he heads from his home race in Estoril next weekend.
Florian Alt, winner of the first race had to retire with an electrical problem after fighting his way through from mid pack to the lead. Others forced out of the race included Kyle Ryde and Scott Deroue who were up the front of the pack but knocked out on Lap 10 when Spain's Aaron Espana was forced off line by the pack at the end of the back straight.
Bradley Ray, the 14 year old Briton who slid out of the lead of Saturday's race was once again one of the leaders but he got caught up in the three bike incident on lap 10. "Espana went down in front of me and I jumped his bike, I was thrown off but was lucky as I landed back on the bike and managed to stay on the track. I lost a lot of ground but I fought back and got with them just on the last lap," Ray said who finished fifth.
The race, punctuated with incidents as the ambitious young riders fought to make their mark delivered yet another example of thrilling track action in what has come to be known as one of the hardest fought junior competitions in today's motorsport.
Riders again have the chance to display their talent when they reconvene in Estoril next weekend for races 3 & 4 of the 2012 competition.

We do that every now and then already.But what good is a large member base of inactive users?
I would think that deleting users who have made 0 total posts and not logged in for at least 12 months is a safe move.
Posted 17 May 2008 - 04:34
Threads with no author post and thus no subject make absolutely no sense. It really mucks up the database.yeah deleting users is always a bad idea, mainly because you either delete posts with that user, or you suddenly have posts with no author.. Then things just get messy

I hope no one goes on holiday for 2 weeks without net access if that was the policy. Any forums I run also never delete accounts. I for example forget to login sometimes for ages until I go to post but by this standard I would lose my account and if that happened I probably wouldnt bother registering again.Users that never logged in (7 day limit)

Artist Details : Mark Churms |
Click here for a full list of all artwork by Mark Churms |
Mark Churms Mark was born in Wales in 1967. He gained his degree in Architectural Studies at Oxford Polytechnic in 1989, but soon his interest in drawing buildings was surpassed by his love of painting horses and in 1991 he began work as a freelance artist. His first commissions were for sporting subjects, Polo, Racing and Hunting. However his consuming passion for military history, particularly of the Napoleonic era, quickly became his dominant theme, with the invaluable counsel of French military experts (accuracy in uniform and terrain of the various battles takes a great deal of time and consultation with many experts across Europe). Mark Churms joined Cranston Fine Arts in 1991 and for a period of 8 years, was commissioned for several series and special commissions. His series of the Zulu War, and of the Battle of Waterloo were the highlights during this period. Mark Churms' deep understanding and detailed knowledge of the period made Mark at that time one of the most prolific and successfull artists for Cranston Fine Arts. Cranston Fine Arts are proud with their series of superb art prints and original paintings painted by Mark Churms in this period. We now offer Mark Churms art prints in special 2 and 4 print packs with great discounts as well as a number of selected original paintings at upto half price. More about Mark Churms |

I am a board-certified radiologist, fellowship trained in breast and body imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. After completing my fellowship in July 2009, I joined the faculty of Memorial Sloan Kettering's Department of Radiology. As a member of the Breast Imaging Service, I participate in both screening and diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound, MRI, and all image-guided breast interventional procedures including seed localizations. Approximately 20 percent of my clinical work is dedicated to interpreting body CT studies.
As a clinician-educator, I am dedicated to patient care, training our Memorial Sloan Kettering fellows and Weill Cornell residents, and outreach. I believe in the strength of team work and collaborate closely with surgeons and oncologists to devise the most-effective treatment plans for each patient. Additionally, I participate in clinical research with an emphasis on new imaging techniques such as contrast-enhanced mammography. I educate both my trainees and the public on the importance of early breast cancer detection. I look forward to making further contributions to our patients, trainees, and staff as well as to the public in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.

Waterways of Holland and Belgium
Cruise Holland and Belgium's canals and waterways as you take in their magnificent art collections, spellbinding gardens, and enchanting medieval villages.
Tour Details
Our Smithsonian tour was amazing. It was educational, scenic and fun. All the guides were exceptional and truly gave us insight into our destination.
Gail M.
The tour "Waterways of Holland and Belgium" was a truly wonderful, joyous experience - the places visited were interesting and often awe-inspiring; the ship was a lovely "base" and the leaders all were marvelous - and, I might add, we had a thoroughly delightful group of fellow travelers!
Becky R.
Our glorious cruise of Holland and Belgium showcases magnificent art collections, spellbinding gardens, and enchanting medieval villages. Join us this spring and enjoy the dramatic floral displays of the renowned Keukenhof Gardens, featuring more than a million tulips. You'll see masterpieces of Dutch art in Amsterdam's recently refurbished Rijksmuseum, and works by Van Gogh at Arnhem's Kröller-Müller Museum. Learn about fascinating architectural and engineering details during a private cruise along Amsterdam's canals (lined with 16th- and 17th-century gabled row houses), and visits to the legendary 18th-century windmills of Kinderdijk and impressive 20th-century Delta Works. In Belgium, explore the World Heritage site of Bruges and the charming medieval cities of Ghent and Antwerp. Plus, art historian Valerie Hedquist provides insights during your cruise, and local residents offer a personal perspective on modern life and cultural heritage. An optional extension to Amsterdam is also offered.
Day 1-2 — U.S., Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Board a private canal cruise for a unique firsthand look at the integral role waterways and canals have played for centuries in the life of Amsterdam. Ringed by concentric canals lined with 16th- and 17th-century merchant row houses, charming houseboats, and world-renowned museums, Amsterdam's canal district, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is brimming with history and artistic wealth. Embark AmaLyra and, later this evening, join the Captain for a Welcome Reception and dinner. (R,D)
Day 3 — Amsterdam, Volendam
Quaint 18th-century houses, historic canals, and a picturesque waterfront typify the beauty and charm of the Dutch fishing port of Volendam, where many residents still don the traditional dress of the region. Walk along the village's primary thoroughfare, lined with colorful cafés and purveyors of fresh fish, handmade cheeses, and a myriad of traditional crafts.
Enjoy a guided tour of the Rijksmuseum's prestigious collection of Dutch master paintings. Then, engage local plaatselijke (residents) during the exclusive River Life Forum®, where they share their candid perspectives on daily life in Holland. (B,L,D)
Day 4 — Arnhem for Kröller-Müller Museum, Nijmegen
Marvel at the picturesque De Hoge Veluwe, The Netherlands' largest national park. Visit the world-class Kröller-Müller Museum, lauded for its chronological collection of van Gogh's masterpieces. The museum also exhibits works by Picasso, Renoir and Manet as well as captivating late 19th- to 21st-century sculptures in its unique 60-acre garden.
Visit scenic Nijmegen, widely regarded as the oldest city in The Netherlands and settled in the 1st century B.C. The walking tour of Valkhof Hill downtown features an impressive 9th‑century Carolingian chapel overlooking the River Waal. Among the well‑preserved historic buildings are the 15th‑century town hall and Latin school, the 16th‑century, Renaissance‑style Waag (weighing hall) and a series of quaint 17th‑century houses. (B,L,D)
Day 5 — Antwerp, Belgium
Antwerp preserves its Flemish culture and charm in its Old Town. A labyrinth of squares and narrow passages leads into the spectacular Grote Markt, where beautifully preserved guildhalls once bustled with Antwerp's 17th-century merchants and tradesmen. In the Cathedral of Our Lady, the pride of Belgium with a remarkable 47-bell carillon and soaring 404-foot, delicately ornamented spire, you will see the 17th-century Baroque masterpieces of the city's native son, Peter Paul Rubens' paintings of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, The Raising of the Cross and The Descent from the Cross. (B,L,D)
Day 6 — Ghent for Bruges
Ghent's rich history and commercial heritage are reflected in the splendid 12th- to 17th-century guildhalls lining the quay. In St. Bavo's Cathedral, see the Van Eyck brothers' magnificent polyptych, the altarpiece of the Adoration of the Mystical Lamb.
Timeless Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage site of treasured architecture, virtually untouched since the 15th century and one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. It is built around a double ring of picturesque canals and connected by charming arched foot bridges. From the Market Square to the Chapel of the Holy Blood, see Bruges' magnificent deftly crafted stone guildhalls and opulent churches from the very best perspective—aboard your private canal cruise. (B,L,D)
Day 7 — Willemstad, the Netherlands, for Delta Works, Kinderdijk
In the southern Netherlands, see one of the most impressive feats of hydraulic engineering in the world, the famous Delta Works. Developed over the past 60-plus years, this vast and complex system of locks, sluices, channels, bridges, slides, and storm-surge barriers was built to protect the southwestern Netherlands from the encroaching North Sea and to reclaim polder lands, otherwise below sea level.
Visit Kinderdijk, a national monument and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, Holland's greatest concentration of traditional windmills provides an opportunity to see firsthand the internal workings of an authentic windmill. Little has changed here since the mid-18th century, when 19 tall, wooden windmills were erected side by side at Kinderdijk to drain the Alblasserwaard, one of many regions in the Netherlands located below sea level. Though no longer used to monitor water levels, the windmills are still one of Holland's most picturesque sights and represent examples of the exceptionally advanced achievements of 18th-century Dutch engineering.
Enjoy the Captain's Farewell Reception this evening. (B,L,R,D)
Day 8 — Utrecht for Keukenhof Gardens, Amsterdam
A brilliant and breathtaking tapestry of colors and fragrance when in full bloom, the gardens of Keukenhof are deservedly known as the "Greatest Flower Show on Earth." Walk through this 77-acre wooded park during the height of Holland's spectacular spring flower season, when more than seven million flowers are expected to be in bloom in a dazzling display of color, weather permitting. "Keukenhof" translates to "kitchen garden" and was inspired by the early 15th-century Countess Jacoba of Bavaria, who resided in a nearby castle and tended an herb garden on this site. Today a showcase for Dutch bulb growers, Keukenhof Gardens features more than 1,000 varieties of tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths, which are meticulously planted and landscaped amidst an idyllic setting complete with tranquil ponds, gently flowing streams, and winding, tree-shaded paths.
