Nicole Z. says:
Thanks! I used coupon code MPJAN to get $10 off a $10+ purchase since that saved me more money than the free shipping code.

Brit says:
I was just coming over here to post the MPJAN code :) I got 2 pairs of panty hose and 2 pairs of footless tights for 7.97 ($0.98+6.99 for shipping). That's 1.99 per pair! I've ordered from Silkies before and their products are nice, high quality stuff, so awesome deal… especially since I just tore my last good pair of hose!
Ger says:
I ordered the Sculptz Show It Off Elbow Length Shaping Top and Honeycomb Sheer Pantyhose for 12.68 with the MPJAN code. The shaping top shows up on the shopping cart page as 12.50 with any purchase. It's a shaping top you wear as a top rather than under a top.
Lenna says:
I was so excited to find Silkies Control Top Microfiber Footless Tights item #95 02 28 for just $2.49. I have one pair and have wanted more. They are usually about $5 – $10 each so I'm super excited! Just paid shipping.
missy says:
aww man i should have read the comments before ordering :(
Jamie says:
I never got the pjs from the deal a few weeks back? In fact I never got the confirmation email either, but it never said my credit/debit card did not go thru. Pretty sure it did, got a confmation page then just not an email. Did anyone else have this issue. I am leery to order from them again. I do not have an order number either so I can not inquire about it. I get their emails so I know I am somehow signed up for that from trying to order before.
Julie says:
I got my order no problem
Pam says:
They were probably sold out of them.
Jessica Hall Jones says:
I was able to get a pair of leggings (plus) for $8.99 using the MPJAN code. They were normally $12 a pair plus shipping so $8.99 is a good price for me, especially for plus size.
Beth says:
thanks, Collin! Just snagged five pair of footless tights for $9.44. I wear skirts, even in the winter & am loving these footless tights!
Ashley says:
The tank dress is cute, but their size chart is wrong….a size small is 6-8? That's not a small but more like a medium.
katie says:
Yeah I am curious about sizing too. Does anyone know but the sizing for clothes?
R.A says:
How to use more than 1 of promo code?? TIA
Brit says:
You can't.
R.A says:
Thank you!
karissa says:
The pajamas are great quality. I wanted to buy more but I could not fin the sleepware section.
Mar says:
Thanks colling snag some shape wear and the nice Tunic all for 9.99 plus shipping!
Amy says:
Where do I find the bead tunic for $8.99 as listed above? When I search item numbers it shows the price is $11.99.
Roma says:
Hi Collin thanx for all you do, I like those beaded tunics #9546,9547… ($8.99) but now they have changed the prices to $11.99. When I called their customer service, they said they cant do anything to make it $8.99.
Amy says:
Thanks Roma… I thought I was going crazy because I could of sworn that I saw the price at $8.99 but when I went to check out it went up to $11.99…Thats just not right!
Roma says:
Yes, Amy same thing happened to me, I saw $8.99. I called customer service she put me on hold and later she said she cant do anything to change it.

Yields 3 cups.
I prefer the texture you get when you grind with a mortar and pestle, but a food processor works well, too. This dip tastes best when made ahead; it keeps well for two to three days in the refrigerator.
Light a grill fire. Grill the eggplant over the open fire or gas flame, turning them frequently, until the skins are black and parched and the flesh feels soft when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the charred skin and put the flesh in a colander. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, grill the bell pepper until it's soft and blackened on all sides, about 15 minutes. Seal the pepper in a paper bag for about 15 minutes. to cool, and peel when cool. Remove the seeds; peel and chop the flesh. Gently squeeze the liquid from the eggplant and transfer the pulp to a mortar or a food processor, along with the bell pepper and chiles. Grind or pulse to a coarse purée. Stir in the garlic, yogurt, walnuts, vinegar, and olive oil; taste and add salt and more vinegar if you like.
Mound in a serving bowl and let stand at room temperature for several hours. Garnish with minced parsley, if you like, and serve at room temperature with crusty bread, pita triangles, or crackers.

Thank you for the Pumpkin and Corn Stalk, I haven't played with them yet but they look well designed with the morphs and textures
Just because I may have a strong opinion doesn't make it any more (or less) correct than any other, just that I feel passionately a particular way at that moment.
Your welcome.
Well it's the time of year that this is most useful, and I nearly missed it.
Maybe this will be new to someone, and hopefully useful too.
Thanks for your comments and downloads! Happy rendering!

A simple method for calculating left ventricular functions from angiographic data using a programmable hand calculator. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 954077 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The end diastolic volume and systolic ejection fraction have gained increasing acceptance as important indicators of ventricular performance. Time consuming calculations and lack of computer facilities have hindered the emergence of these calculations as a routine part of cardiac catheterization studies. The introduction of the programmable hand calculator has provided means for rapid analysis of ventricular volume data in an efficient and inexpensive manner. In this paper the step-by-step procedure for programming the hand calculator is given, as well as instructions for entering raw data and obtaining final calculations. Programs are given for both single plane and biplane cine angiographic studies. |

Mark _ June 12, 2013 4:29 PM @Shannon - if you are only an hour away then you are fairly close to Montreal. If I had a race within 5 or 6 hours of where I live I would have been there many times by now. Those of us on the West Coast are completely left out.@Richard - I wonder what happened to Jose?

Why not o optissime? Was he not a native speaker of his language? Didn't he (and indeed the illiterate farmer from Padua) know his language just as well as Cicero and Caesar?
It's not the kind of language we aim at. :noclue: Following generations sticked to Cicero and Caesar's standard, Plautus doesn't fit into it. I don't understand the problem. (Although I don't doubt Plautus' proficienty in colloquial Latin, he is an Umbrian, and I doubt if Latin was his mother tongue.)
Nooj, I understand that we talk like 'Why Classical Latin is standard and Vulgar Latin is not? — Because Classical Latin is standard and Vulgar Latin is not.' It's just for the sake of formalisation. I think we can finally come to sound conclusions.
Plautus' Latin is artificial as well, even if it features a number of colloquial expressions. There used to be a time when more than just one style would be practiced at universities, but that doesn't really change the assertion that Cicero's Latin was the cleanest and most appealing standard.
Doing linguistics has made me realise how prescriptivist a tradition Latin teaching is. We're shown very little variety in Latin, and these towering titans of Classical Latin prose are the exemplars. Some people take it to the extreme and say that only one particular form of Latin is the correct one. When I started learning Latin, I didn't realise I was signing an implicit agreement that I would follow in that tradition. Aurifex said we follow Cicero and Caesar because of auctoritas, but they only have auctoritas because we give it to them. Would you judge me if I used cattus instead of felis, virdis instead of viridis, numqua instead of numquam, indicatives in indirect questions or present tense to mean future tense (dico = dicam)?
that's nonsense. A linguist's scope goes far beyond Classical Latin. I don't really know what you're getting at there. Yes, that's the defiinition of auctoritas
I think you take it absolutely right. This is the difference of a living language and a literary standard: the notions 'right/wrong, correct/incorrect' have no sense in terms of the former and are essential for the latter. As for your question, certainly I'll judge you. You wouldn't be able even to establish an alternative norm. Having collected all the inscriptions and reconstructions (without respect to difference to time and space) and arranged the material into a conlang, you still wouldn't have enought material to write a book. The matter is even more complicated since no one ever consciously wrote in Vulgar Latin: everybody tried to use the bookish style according to the level of his education. If you write in Classical Latin, you contribute to the body of Latin literature. If you write in Vulgar Latin, you fake historical documents.
Why don't people study the dialect of English spoken in eastern Oklahoma, where "ideal" means "idea", and "were" is entirely replaced by "was"? Or the dialects that produce "I ain't got no money" or "no one on the corner have swagger like us"? Wouldn't it make more sense for modern and future students to learn the literary standard and leave the vulgar dialects to linguists? Surely there wasn't just one vulgar dialect of Latin, either. If there were, it would probably have been the standard. Simply using all of the historically most common words together would probably give us a dialect far more artificial than the classical standard, because we wouldn't be taking regional differences into account. Ah, you know us. We'd laugh and point and make faces at you. Because we are such a mature and sophisticated crowd.
Well, Petronius did have some of his characters in the Cena Trimalchonis speak in Vulgar Latin (or something approaching it). That is a good point. Maybe we could aim to be bi-dialectal as best we can? It's hard to believe that the educated guys spoke in CL all the time. Cicero must have known something of the everyday language, even spoken it, outside of the written context. As Latinists, shouldn't we try to know as much about Latin as possible? Looking at the evidence from the Egyptian papyri and the inscriptions gives me a thrill: here is an entirely different side to Latin that I had no idea even existed. Latin literature is massive, but it is limited to a certain group of people. That's frustrating. More than a philosophical text, I want a document that transcribes how ordinary people talked, how slaves talked, how women talked. I know we can't do that fully, but even the little bit we do know is fascinating. Because the vulgar dialects don't have a lot of literature or because the standard dialect is the only one worth learning? Some non-standard dialects of English have considerable literature of their own, so maybe they're safe from Vulgar Latin's fate. In 2000 years time, I'd certainly recommend that future students learn African American Vernacular English in order to understand hip-hop and rap. I agree.
Of course they didn't. It was commonly used only on formal occasions and in RBC (Roman Broadcasting Company) transmissions. I think we (I count myself a Latinist 8) ) shouldn't. At least I'm quite comfortable with a neutral artificial standard that has some authority. Having no time machine at hand, we are restricted to fragmentary information on living Latin dialects. Of course, it's all right to use them as a source of vocabulary (what's the Latin for a wheelcart? — pabō, as is known from Isidore of Seville) and to use phrases from Terence in colloquial style (such as paucīs tē volō); but I think copying vulgar grammar leads nowhere. On the other hand, linguistics contributes to our knowledge of Classical Latin as well. For example, we can understand the vocabulary better if we know reliable etymologies, etc.
I'm not acquainted with the curriculum of other Universities, but we do have plenty of subjects related to development of Latin, and we do study beside the classical also archaic and vulgar and renaissance/baroque Latin as a part of translation practice. In fact recently on one of the Universities one department for translating renaissance/baroque Latin works have been opened - and some of my professors have earned their PhDs doing theses on renaissance Latin, one (and possibly only) area where Latin has present and future here.
Not at all. When you start, you have to learn something, and the usual convention is the Latin of Caesar and Cicero, but that is only the beginning. You should most definitely branch out. Caesar called Terence a puri sermonis amator—his style is excellent. There is nothing wrong with Plautus either,- although you should be aware that he is writing very exaggerated comic poetry. You may not necessarily want to copy it. My apologies, I erred in conflating St Jerome's use of Greek and Hebrew features with Vulgar Latin. An common example is the use of the present participle, eg Luke 19:4 et praecurrens ascendit in arborem Gregory of Tours? Ista etenim atque et his similia iugiter intuens dici, pro commemoratione praeteritorum, ut notitiam adtingerint venientum, etsi incultu effatu... quod a nostris fari plerumque miratus sum, quia: 'Philosophantem rethorem intellegunt pauci, loquentem rusticum multi
Yes, this is notorious. In your example Hieronymus does not violate grammar rules, although you can perhaps reproach his style. Greek and Hebrew calques in his translation just indicate that he was not a perfect translator (or that he feared to distort the sacred text); for the most part they can be attributed to style. The grammar is mostly intact. Gregory of Tours wrote as he could. Vulgar Latin affected his writings due to the lack of education that he himself admitted (if I err not). No part of his Historia francorum was written in Vulgar Latin.
I once (about 1963) read an article in the Saturday Review about the influence of Roman "soldiers' slang'' on the Romance languages. The only example I can remember after so many years was that the French word for "head" derived, not from "caput," but from the Latin word for "pot" (testum?). Apparently soldiers called themselves "jarheads" even then! If you substitute the phrase that the article used, "soldiers' slang," for what has been used in this string of messages, "vulgar Latin," the article was saying what many of you said: the Latin language as it has been preserved for us in the writings of the great Roman historians and essayists may have been significantly different from the language spoken by the bulk of the population, or, at least, by the portion that proved to be most significant in its further development. Do any of you know whether it is possible to find that article?
Is this the one? Just an abstract, unfortunately. http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=2608176
Thank you, Akela, but, no, I am sure that is not what I read. That is apparently a research article written in 1939, and, while it may have been a source for the Saturday Review article I read in or before 1964, I am quite certain that it was not that. I am pretty certain, too, that the author of the article traced the French word for "head" to a Latin word for jar or pot. That also makes more sense to me than having "tile" as a slang word for head.
I think we're missing an important factor here. Vulgar Latin is pluricentric. In order for any in-depth studies of it (i.e. systematic enough to enable original compositions) to be worthwhile, one would have to shift through the myriad of variants and create a semi-conlang to unify them all, which would be just as artificial in its own way as CL is.
Just imagine us learning Cockney, Scots English, Caribbean English-based creoles, etc. instead of the more uniform standard English and you'll get the idea.

Computational modelling of biological systems is becoming increasingly important in efforts to better understand complex biological behaviours. In this review, we distinguish between two types of biological models—mathematical and computational— which differ in their representations of biological phenomena. We call the approach of constructing computational models of biological systems 'executable biology', as it focuses on the design of executable computer algorithms that mimic biological phenomena. We survey the main modelling efforts in this direction, emphasize the applicability and benefits of executable models in biological research and highlight some of the challenges that executable biology poses for biology and computer science. We claim that for executable biology to reach its full potential as a mainstream biological technique, formal and algorithmic approaches must be integrated into biological research. This will drive biology toward a more precise engineering discipline.

Product description
Ask someone today where Western Civilization originated, and he or she might say Greece or Rome. But what is the ultimate source of Western Civilization? Bestselling author and professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr. provides the long neglected answer: the Catholic Church. In the new paperback edition of his critically-acclaimed book, How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, Woods goes far beyond the familiar tale of monks copying manuscripts and preserving the wisdom of classical antiquity. Gifts such as modern science, free-market economics, art, music, and the idea of human rights come from the Catholic Church, explains Woods. In How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, you'll learn: * Why modern science was born in the Catholic Church * How Catholic priests developed the idea of free-market economics five hundred years before Adam Smith * How the Catholic Church invented the university * Why what you know about the Galileo affair is wrong * How Western law grew out of Church canon law * How the Church humanized the West by insisting on the sacredness of all human life No institution has done more to shape Western civilization than the two-thousand-year-old Catholic Church--and in ways that many of us have forgotten or never known. How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization is essential reading for recovering this lost truth.

The weather was Amazing hot/sunny everyday. we got the elegance club it was totally worth it especially for a honeymoon or romantic getaway, it just makes you feel that much more special. Food: the restaurants were amazing the food was so good, my top favourites would be the steakhouse and the Japanese and french. for the last two you have to make reservation for, which is super easy. the buffet food was just that buffet not bad not amazing. The resort was beautiful and the beach looked straight out of a magazine absolutely beautiful. Staff: the staff was amazing always fun and energetic, we meet two amazing people while down there Mozart '"jackson" he was so great and fun and always made you feel welcome. He was always smiling and happy to be there. He was at the swim up bar playing games and teaching water aerobics in the morning, then entertaining at night by singing or walking around in a superman costume, he was constantly doing something, non stop to make sure everyone has a good time and also keeping people entertained. he made our trip for sure. The other person i would like to talk about is Diana from the main lobby bar, which we spend a lot of time each night at. She was fabulous so kind funny and friendly. she was so fun to be around and made each night there so amazing. when you go to the lobby bar seek her out and sit in her section.
i would go back to this resort for sure it was amazing.

In case you missed it, runDisney announced a 10k the day before the Disneyland half and has added a 2-day event called the Dumbo Double Dare (like the Goofy, only shorter). Anyone else happy dancing about this?? I am sooooo excited. I was debating about going to CA to get a Coast to Coast this year, but this has sealed the deal. Now I really have to start saving some money!!
I'm so excited for this! I have to figure out how to make this work. I thought $175 was a lot for a half and now I'm considering $280 for a 10k and a half!
Ohhhhh snap. If you look at the schedule, it actually looks possible to run the 5k, 10k, and half marathon... Innnnnnteresting.
So in theory, one could end up with 5 medals for the weekend? The 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon, Dumbo Double and Coast to Coast? Sounds fun!!!!
My immediate dilemma is that I have already committed to running the 5k with my young daughters. I want to do that, but am not sure I can get back to the start line in time for the 10k. I may have to run the first 2/3 with them and then leave them with my wife in order to make the 10k start. My youngest just did a 2-miler in 30 minutes, so we are really close to a 45 min 5k, which is exactly the difference in the two start times.
I really would like to do this !!!! I wonder what the time would be since I our little mouseketeer just loves running in the kids race. And we can't miss the kids race.
5:30 for the 5k, 6:15 for the 10k. But, historically, the end of the 5k has not been all that close to the start of the half, which is where I would assume they will start the 10k.
I am already trying to price out how much this would cost me...I would probably have to forego several other races to make it happen in my yearly race budget...hmmm....
I'm really excited about this as well. I was already planning on running the Disneyland Half and the Wine & Dine to get my Coast to Coast medal. Now I'm going to have to ramp up the training for the Dumbo Double Dare! I can't wait!
I am so excited for this!! I was hemming and hawing about gettnig my C2C this year but the Dumbo Double Dare is definitely something I cannot miss. I will be skipping Tower of Terror this year to do it, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice as I don't think I'll ever be able to do Goofy!
I think it is a great idea! I will already have my C2C with the Tinker Bell, but it would be awesome to get four medals that weekend. Although it is pricey, everything at Disney is. I really wish you could use gift cards or Disney Rewards points for registration fees.
I was initially planing on doing the DL half, then the Inaugural Nike Woman's Half in D.C. came up and I figured I could get a C2C any year. Now I am thinking I need to try to do this one...
I want to know: if you do Goofy and the Dumbo in the same year, do you get to call yourself a A Big Goof?
I'm with you. I was surprised at the increased cost for the 1/2 marathon over last year, knowing it will still sell out. I don't think I have Goofy in me, but this is a goal I can plan for. Fun!!!
Is the C2C the same every year? I already got mine this year, but thinking I need to do this race now to....in addition to marathon weekend.
We were planning to go to DL for C2C anyway, but a 10k too! Sweet!!! 10k is really my favorite distance, and since DH and DD will probably do the 5k and I have to be up that early anyway...... More medals!!! Hurray!
quote taken from the Marathon weekend thread but, O. M. G. !!! That would be way too difficult for me to turn away.
I'm in! I wish the 5k was about 15 mins ealier or they'd show course maps so we could judge whether or not we could get to the 10k quick enough after the 5k, but that's alright. I'll just monitor the 5k reg. So much for trying to save race $ next year for NYC Marathon, if they ever figure out what they're doing next year! Now if we could get a mini TOT race out here too...
So far, they have only changed it once. The 2010 C2C had the year dangling from the bottom of the medal. Now, it is just incorporated into the ribbon. So, yes, they do look the same, but I just love the partners statue.
Well crap!! I really want to do this but DL sells out quickly and I doubt I will have enough $$ to pay for it at that time. Especially since I tend to drop $$ at the WDW marathon weekend expo. GRRR! Must figure out way to do this and have another vacation.....

Have you seen the new Gingerbread Oreos yet? I have to admit that I am not a huge gingerbread fan, but I really like these. No scratch that…I love these.
Of course they are Oreos and I have yet to find an Oreo that I didn't like. As soon as I saw the first package of these posted on Instagram, I headed to our Walmart. I checked the seasonal aisle, I checked the cookie aisle, and I checked the displays in the middle of the aisles. Nothing! I was starting to lose heart that our Walmart had decided to not carry them. As I headed to the checkout lane, there right in front of my eyes was an Oreo display! And one whole side was the Gingerbread ones…it was meant to be:-) In fact, I'm pretty sure I heard angels singing.
The first thing I did when I got home was to try one. Oh boy! They were good! I had to close them up and hide them in the back of the cupboards because I was very tempted to eat more…lots more.
My brain started to think about all the things I could make with them. Maybe some Oreo gooey cake bars? Or some Oreo brownies? Or better yet, maybe some Oreo parfaits?
The more I thought about what to make, the more I realized I wanted to make something simple. Something that wouldn't hide the gingerbread flavor.
Oreo truffles it is.
But because I was feeling lazy…or maybe it was just plain genius…either way I decided to make it into bark. Ok, ok, it really was the lazy way out. I just wasn't in the mood to dip that many truffles.
I may never dip another Oreo truffle again.
White chocolate bark layered with Gingerbread Oreo Truffle mixture.
- Place the Candiquik in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until melted. Pour half of the Candiquik into a wax paper lined 9x13 pan. Place in refrigerator. Keep the other half warm.
- Crush the whole package of Oreos. Mix in the cream cheese. Spread on top of the chilled Candiquik. Pour the other half of the Candiquik on top and spread out. Top with sprinkles and extra Oreo chunks. Refrigerate to set. Chop into random small pieces. Keep refrigerated.

1. Matthews, I think it's pretty clear that he wouldn't be playing every down, every game. This is a guy we could mold into what we need coverage wise while he can go out and be a passrushing terror (something we so sorely need) from step 1 on any team.
2. Wood, I like this pick
2. Casey, OMG this is great.
3. Jennings, teh yes
4. Mitchell, Don't know much about him but I think I'd rather hit up a CB or DE here. Doesn't matter much though, this is a great draft.
5. Williams, good pick
6. Cosby, I think I might go after a different WR here...maybe somebody with a little more speed? Isn't that the big knock on him?
7. McDonald, good i guess. we've done worse with 7ths
great draft omt, we sing a very similar tune for the future of this team!!!!

Adobe InDesign CS4
Mark Peters : September 23th 2008 - 22:22 CET
Adobe InDesign CS4 Software :
Adobe announced Adobe InDesign CS4, a major upgrade to its professional page layout program. InDesign CS4 delivers powerful new features and enhancements that help increase productivity, streamline and automate long document creation and expand output to new media, such as interactive PDFs or Adobe Flash files. With innovative and integrated collaboration services, InDesign CS4 enables users to design more in less time, efficiently create unique content for multiple media, and work effectively with clients and peers. CS4 InDesign will be available as a stand-alone application or as a component of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium and Standard editions and Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
Adobe professional page layout software
"The advances and features central to InDesign CS4 enable customers to produce inventive and high-impact layouts for online and offline publishing," said David Burkett, vice president of Creative Solutions at Adobe. "As a result, InDesign CS4 allows publishers, design agencies and other organizations to remain competitive through design, enable business growth and attract new audiences through multi-channel publishing, all while streamlining costs as a result of productivity gains."
Increase Productivity with Fluid Workflows
Adobe InDesign CS4 introduces new features that enable smoother workflows, productive collaboration, and reliable delivery of interactive documents for online or offline publishing. The new Live Preflight feature highlights potential production problems in real-time from within the layout and directs users to the problem area to resolve the issue, saving time and lowering production costs. A customizable Links panel enables users to find, sort, and manage placed files in a document, view attributes such as scale, resolution and rotation - and identify files faster using thumbnails.
Create Rich Interactive Documents
With this release, designers can combine the page layout strength of InDesign with the interactive authoring power of Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to create rich, dynamic documents. Designers can export an InDesign document as an XFL file and then open it in Adobe Flash CS4 Professional to add sophisticated interactivity, animation, and navigation for a more engaging online reading experience. Or, designers can create interactive brochures, dynamic presentations, and other online materials by adding page transitions, interactive buttons, and hyperlinks to documents and then exporting them as SWF files - for playback by the Adobe Flash Player - or interactive PDF files.

"With Adobe InDesign CS4, exporting our layouts from InDesign CS4 to Adobe Flash CS4 Professional is the feature we've been waiting for," said Eduardo Danilo Ruiz, president and CEO of Danilo Black, Inc., a design firm specializing in rich media production, editorial design and Web development for media companies, with clients such as Washington Times, Houston Chronicle, New York Sun, and Bloomberg. "Instead of exporting layouts as JPEGs, which currently requires overlaying our animation on top of static pages, our InDesign content can now be modified and animated directly in Flash. This allows us to take advantage of the typography and layout features we love in InDesign and dramatically increases our dynamic media workflow efficiency."
Simplify Writing and Production of Long Documents
InDesign CS4 includes new productivity enhancing features that make it easier to create and manage long documents such as manuals and textbooks. The new Conditional Text feature enables users to quickly produce multiple versions of a document for different uses such as multi-lingual documents or Teacher / Student materials. Designers can apply conditions to selected paragraphs, words or characters and then hide or show that text depending on the required context. Offering further time-saving advances, the Cross-References feature simplifies the writing, production and management of long form documents by dynamically updating referenced text as content is changed or moved within a document.
Adobe InDesign publishing family
Adobe InDesign CS4 software is at the center of the InDesign publishing family that also includes Adobe InCopy CS4 and InDesign CS4 Server. This line of products can be customized, scaled and extended to meet evolving needs. As a stand-alone publishing platform or integrated with an existing publishing system or content management tools, the InDesign publishing family offers faster, more reliable performance day in and day out than Creative Suite 3.
InDesign Markup Language
To solve specific workflow challenges, Adobe is introducing IDML (InDesign Markup Language), an open, extensible XML representation of InDesign documents that allows third-party developers and systems integrators to programmatically create, modify and deconstruct InDesign documents outside InDesign or InDesign Server - using standard XML editing tools. The InDesign publishing family allows traditional publishers, design agencies, and printers to add new services and products to their portfolio of offerings, expanding accessibility to professional looking print and digital materials.
Adobe InDesign CS4 price and availability
Adobe InDesign CS4 and Adobe InCopy CS4 for Mac OS X on Intel based and PowerPC based systems and for Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista platforms are scheduled to ship in October 2008 with availability through Adobe Authorized Resellers and the Adobe Store. Estimated street price for the Adobe InDesign CS4 is US$699 and US$249 for Adobe InCopy CS4. Adobe InDesign CS4 Server will also be available to qualified Adobe developer partners in the fourth quarter of 2008 with pricing information available through qualified systems integrators.

Intersectoral Platform on Contributing to the Dialogue among Civilizations and Cultures and a Culture of Peace
This Platform builds on UNESCO's long-standing efforts to strengthen dialogue among civilizations and cultures. Based on its many years of experience with far-reaching dialogue initiatives such as the 'Routes of Dialogue' and the 'General Histories' projects, the Organization has systematically fine-tuned its approach to dialogue and has adapted methodologies and focus to take into account shifts in the international context.
The Platform group members have developed an action plan, involving activities and contributions from all Sectors. As this is a new intersectoral structure, the group defined strategies for four key objectives. These have realistically attainable results to be achieved by the end of the 2008-2009 biennium, while maintaining clear links and transitions to UNESCO's Medium-Term Strategy. The four objectives are: the promotion and exploitation of the Regional Histories; the development of inter-cultural skills; engaging new voices in interfaith dialogue and other spiritual traditions; the media and dialogue.
One Platform initiative involves a transversal reading of different Histories from the general Histories pro-ject through the prism of intercultural dialogue. Another initiative is to undertake a survey of the state of the art regarding existing intercultural skills necessary for "living together". This exercise also comprises an investigation of less-known intercultural skills, such as traditional practices, that constitute competencies for intercultural dialogue in various cultures; It will also focus on the issue of gender-based violence in schools and its educational and psychological consequences.
Dialogue is essential for effective sharing of water resources. Preparations for journalists training to be conducted at the World Water Forum in 2009 are underway, mobilizing the Science and Communication and Information Sectors. A partnership opportunity has now emerged with the University of Miami, which this year produced a critical documentary called "One Water," that could be made available as a training tool and for screening at the conference.
The Platform's action plan complements the recently-initiated collaboration with the Alliance of Civilizations. A Memorandum of Understanding between UNESCO and AOC signed in January 2008 outlines specific areas for the development of joint projects and activities for which the mobilization of financial resources will also strengthen the Platform and its implementation.

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis region, which has a storied aviation past, has lost two popular air shows in as many years.
The St. Louis County Fair and Air Show called an end to its event last week. The amount of development in the suburb of Chesterfield was making it difficult to find enough parking; organizers also had to ask some residents and businesses to vacate during the shows to follow rules designed to keep people safe on the ground.
Organizers of Fair St. Louis, a celebration downtown by the Arch, ended its air shows before the summer of 2006. The fair's hours were scaled back in place of a summer-long music festival, and the air shows were eliminated as a result, said Missy Slay, executive director of Celebrate St. Louis.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Monday that nationwide there are currently about 340 air shows a year, about 10 percent fewer than a decade earlier.
John Cudahy, president of the International Council of Air Shows Inc., said air shows attract about 12 million people annually. "In a way, air shows are seeing the same kinds of consolidations the rest of the event world is seeing," Cudahy said.
But air show supporters point out that without them, a valuable opportunity is lost to hook people on aviation. "I think there's a tremendous amount lost," said Bob McDaniel, director of the St. Louis Downtown Airport in Cahokia, Ill.
"I got my start in aviation as I was sitting in my sandbox as a little kid watching airplanes fly overhead. The opportunities for kids to be exposed to aviation (today) are not near what they used to be."
Jean Murry of St. Louis County said one of the goals of the Greater St. Louis Air and Space Museum is to get younger people interested in the rich history of aviation in the St. Louis area, which featured the likes of trans-Atlantic pilot Charles Lindbergh; aircraft builder McDonnell Douglas, which was acquired by Boeing Co. in 1997; and Trans World Airlines, whose assets were bought by American Airlines in 2001.
"Oh my goodness, pretty soon it will be to the point where young people will hardly know what an airplane looks like," Murry said.
Jack Jackson, retired chief test pilot for Boeing Co., flew the St. Louis-built Harrier at the Fair St. Louis and St. Louis County shows and said airplanes "hold a mystique to a lot of people." He recalled how people would flock to the fence as he would taxi past at an area airport.
Air show enthusiasts still will be able to attend one this year at Scott Air Force Base in southern Illinois, which is hosting a show in September and will feature the Air Force Thunderbirds.

What HD DVD player do you have? If you don't have one, you're nothing but a BD fanboy. I've had both since inception.
You're dreaming if you don't think there will be double dips of current BD's once 2.0 comes out. You don't think Warner will re-release 300 with the HD DVD features for 2.0? Keep telling yourself that.
HD DVD and Blu-ray are basically identical as technologies; they both offer the same stunning visuals and audio, interactive features and more capacity. The differences are really in the details IMO. Going back to SD DVD or resorting to piracy in spite of loving HDM just because HD DVD, the format some people bet on, didn't come out on top in the format war is fanboynism. What you own proves nothing. If you feel bias-free and totally rational just because of the fact that you had the funds of buying into both formats, congratulations.
I have a PC which I prefer for gaming but I also have a Nintendo Wii, Xbox360 and Playstation 3. I primarily bought the PS3 as a Blu-ray player though I could have easily gone with the much cheaper Xbox360 HD DVD drive + 5 free movies. I chose Blu-ray back in December because I thought it had all nearly the advantages but most importantly the greatest chance of winning the format war. This makes me a fanboy? I think not... if HD DVD would've won, I would of course be somehow frustrated and annoyed, but without thinking twice switched over to HD DVD instead, not limiting myself to SD DVD or piracy because I bet for the wrong horse.
What I meant is that no 2.0 movie will be released with an accompanying 1.1 version on the market. And I think we will see very few, if any, double dips just to add a minor 2.0 functionality into a movie, but that's just my prediction.

With the Stanley Cup Finals just about a month away, the Tampa Bay Lightning are looking more like heavy favorites rather than the postseason's latest underdog team relishing the role of a spoiler.
Sean Bergenheim scored twice and Steve Downie, Dominic Moore and Teddy Purcell each had two assists as the Bolts completed a remarkable four-game sweep of the top-seeded Washington Capitals with a 5-3 victory in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 20,835 at the St. Pete Times Forum on Wednesday night.
Tampa Bay, winners of seven straight, are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since the 2004 postseason and must await the winner of the Boston-Philadelphia series. The Bruins are also on the verge of completing a sweep following a 5-1 win over the Flyers on Wednesday night as well.
"You work hard all year at getting all your players on the same page," Lightning head coach Guy Boucher said. "I think everybody on our team showed a little bit of leadership and now everyone wants to do more."
The Capitals, which enjoyed another successful regular season marked by a number-one seed and 107 points, will now endure another long spring. The loss marked Washington's latest disappointment since being knocked out in seven games last season by the Montreal Canadiens in the first round.
While the Capitals were able to stay with Tampa Bay in each of the four games, including forcing overtime in Game 2 at the Verizon Center, the team's inability to outplay the Lightning in the late stages ultimately proved to be the difference. Wednesday's defeat was just the first four-game sweep since they were beaten 4-0 by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1998 Stanley Cup Final.
"Were they the better team? They just beat us in four straight so I think they were," Washington head coach Bruce Boudreau said. "It wasn't by a big margin, but we were still done in four games."
Ryan Malone's power-play goal at 12:37 gave Tampa Bay an early 1-0 lead. Vincent Lecavalier fed a pass across the crease to Malone, stationed alongside the net, who got a piece of it with his skate to beat Michal Neuvirth for the game's first goal.
Neuvirth finished the night with 32 saves, but was outplayed for much of the series, including Wednesday night, by Lightning net minder Dwayne Roloson.
Roloson, acquired on Jan. 1 in a trade with the New York Islanders, entered the contest ranked first in saves, goals-against average and save percentage and showed why with another 33-save effort in Game 4.
"He's been great for us," Malone said. "We try to limit the shots he sees and help out around the net, but so far, so good."
Marco Sturm, John Erskine and John Carlson each had goals for Washington, who with 36 shots on goal to Tampa Bay's 37, was outshot for the first time in the series. For Tampa Bay, it was the first game of 11 thus far in the postseason in which it has outshot its opponent. The Lightning also improved to 7-0-0 in the postseason when scoring first.
That held up Wednesday night, even after Sturm was credited with the tying-goal in the closing minutes of the first after the puck was batted up in the air and directed in with the back of Roloson's skate towards the near post to make it 1-1.
The killer combination of Bergenheim, Moore and Downie continued to be the catalyst for the Lightning in the series, as the linemates hooked up for consecutive scores in the second period to put Tampa Bay up 3-1.
Bergenheim's team-leading sixth of the postseason regained the Lightning lead at 4:41 after he put back a rebound attempt from the slot, and his second of the night nearly eight minutes later gave Tampa Bay a two-goal advantage.
"This is the first team we've played in a while that has three lines that really come at you," Boudreau added. "It's their so-called third line. I think Downie has 12 points in the postseason, Moore and Bergenheim have at least six goals, so that's pretty good for a third line."
The Lightning appeared to be in control following Bergenheim's second tally, but a deflection from along the side boards by Washington's John Erskine found its way into the back of the net just 1:06 later to cut the deficit back to one.
Washington's penalty troubles began to take a toll though midway through the second. With Sturm in the box as a result of a goaltender interference call, Marc-Andre Bergeron's slapper from the point while on the power play gave Tampa Bay a two-goal advantage with just under 15 minutes to play.
Martin St. Louis and Carlson exchanged a pair of goals late in the game, which brought the score to 5-3, but Washington's final goal of the game at 17:54 also turned out to be its last of the season.
"We didn't want to feel surprised to be in this position," St. Louis said after completing the four-game sweep. "We were up in the series and we were going to try and stay up and win the next one, and the next one, and the next one. We were just going out there and giving ourselves the best chance to win a game."

If you're the kind if person who believes that first impressions last, we probably won't be friends.
If you met me yesterday, at least, there'd be no chance in hell I'd be getting a Christmas card from you this year.
I was waiting all morning for a highly anticipated phone call from a much wanted (global, fun and exciting) client and the call finally came through while I was in the car.
In the car with our daughter – who was smiling and playing quietly with her bunny when I took a huge gamble and picked up the call on my hands free.
Things quickly flipped out of control because the second I pressed the green button, all hell broke lose in the perfectly tuned acoustic stadium of my car.
Our daughter started screaming. For absolutely no reason at all. In fact, she was smiling as she was screaming like a banshee. I turned around in my seat and made a shhhh sound, like we had been practising at home, and I left my finger for her to hold in the hope she might play with it for a few precious minutes and stay quiet.
Except that she didn't hold my finger… She leant forward in her seat and BIT IT OFF.
It's not as if she mistook my finger for a chipolata either. She went full Bear Grylls style and set her Piranha-like fangs onto my unsuspecting bony finger.
Naturally I reacted by screaming '(cl)uck' which was the first thing I said to the Lovely HR lady on the other end of the phone.
I would have LOVED to start the conversation with "Hello, Sally here, How are you? But instead, the first impression the HR lady working for the global fun and exciting client heard from me was "*UCK".
If this wasn't bad enough, it was promptly followed by peals of hilarity from the back seat from my sadistic copycat kid who then shouted "cuk' at the top of her lungs.
"cuk. cuk. cuk"
"cuk. cuk. cuk."
And then I hung up. And drove really fast to the nearest kebab store. And ate a kebab.
So next time you see a mum with a kid in the street, or car, or playground, looking frazzled.
Don't judge them.
Even when they look at you, smile and then yell "cuk" in your face.
Give them a second chance. They might just deserve it.

Date of Stay: February, 2012 - $60.00
The manager is really strict on stupid stuff like, how you are allowed to park your vehicle, how many pets you are allowed to have, how straight your camper is.. A lot of people are leaving this park this week alone. The manager keeps bringing in FEMA trailers when people leave out so she can rent them at a higher price. We are fixing to find us another RV park that doesn't have such a hateful manager! We camped at Westgate of Midland in a Travel Trailer.
