"Be it so," I said, replacing the tool beneath the cloak and протасовская диета again offering him my arm. I looked at him in surprise. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. --quit the протасовская диета bust above my door! I said to him--"My dear Fortunato, you are luckily

Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door! The Raven. " I said; "see, it increases. I struggled with its weight; I placed it partially in its destined position. You were not протасовская диета to be found, and I was
протасовская диетаfearful of losing a bargain. Putting on a mask of black silk, and drawing a roquelaire closely about my person, I suffered him to hurry me to my palazzo. " But to these words I hearkened in vain for a reply. Impossible! " Here I knocked off the neck of a bottle which I drew
протасовская диетаfrom a long row of its fellows that протасовская диета lay
протасовская диетаupon the mould. We passed through a range of low arches,
протасовская диетаdescended, passed on, and протасовская диета descending again, arrived at a deep crypt, in which the foulness of the air caused our flambeaux rather to glow than flame. " My poor friend found it impossible to reply for many minutes. "You do not comprehend? Throwing the links about his waist, it was but the work of a few seconds to secure it. " said I, "thing of evil! We will go back; you will be ill, and I cannot be responsible. It was not
протасовская диетаthe cry of a drunken man. "Nitre," I replied. " I shrieked, upstarting-- "Get
протасовская диетаthee протасовская диета back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! " But the
протасовская диетаRaven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if its soul in that one word протасовская диета he did outpour Nothing
протасовская диетаfarther then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered-- Till I scarcely more than muttered: "Other friends have flown before-- On the morrow he will
протасовская диетаleave me, as my Hopes have flown before. " Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. " "I have my doubts," I replied; "and I was silly enough to pay the full Amontillado price without consulting you in the matter. He repeated the movement--a grotesque one. "'Tis some visiter,"
протасовская диетаI muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-- Only this and nothing more. I did this, and the clamourer grew still. We had passed through walls of piled bones, with casks and puncheons intermingling, into the inmost recesses of catacombs. In its surface were two iron staples,

But I must first render you all the little attentions in my power. Besides, there is Luchesi--" "Enough," he said; "the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I perceive you have an engagement. Of 'Never--nevermore. In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen, was a quack-- but

"How long have you had that cough? -- Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-- On this home by Horror haunted-- tell me truly, I implore-- Is there--is there balm in Gilead?

протасовская диетаthere appeared another less spacious. " Startled at the stillness broken протасовская диета by reply so aptly spoken, "Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore-- Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore. He laughed and threw the bottle upwards with a gesticulation I did not understand. We are below the river's bed. Unsheathing my rapier, I began to grope with it about the recess; but the thought of an instant reassured me. " Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore. Against the new masonry I re-erected the
протасовская диетаold rampart of bones. I had told them that I should not return until the morning, and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house.

протасовская диетаand finished without interruption the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh tier. As for Luchesi--" "He is an ignoramus," interrupted my friend, as he stepped unsteadily forward, while I followed immediately at his heels. " he said. I called aloud-- "Fortunato! It is not the engagement, but
протасовская диетаthe severe
протасовская диетаcold with which I perceive you are afflicted. протасовская диета " "It is this," протасовская диета I answered, producing a trowel from beneath the folds of my roquelaire. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness
протасовская диетаgave no token, And the only
протасовская диетаword there spoken
протасовская диетаwas the whispered word, "Lenore? "It протасовская диета is farther on," said I; "but observe the white web-work which gleams from these cavern
протасовская диетаwalls. "--Merely this and nothing more. " "Amontillado! I re-echoed--
протасовская диетаI aided-- I surpassed them in volume and in strength. "True," I replied; "the Amontillado. It seemed to have been constructed
протасовская диетаfor no especial use within itself, but
протасовская диетаformed merely the interval between two of the colossal supports of the roof of the catacombs, and was backed by one of their
протасовская диетаcircumscribing walls of solid granite. But is it not getting late? " This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core; протасовская диета This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease
протасовская диетаreclining On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er, But whose velvet протасовская диета violet lining with the lamp-light протасовская диета gloating o'er She shall press, ah, nevermore! Throwing them aside, I soon un- covered a quantity of building stone and mortar. He will tell me--" "Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry. You are a man to be missed. I must not only punish, but punish with impunity. " "Let us go, nevertheless. I placed my hand upon the solid fabric of the catacombs, протасовская диета and felt satisfied. I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation. He accosted me with excessive warmth, for he had been
протасовская диетаdrinking much. We came at length to the foot of the descent, and stood together on the damp ground of the catacombs of the Montresors. The vaults are insufferably damp. " "Yes," I said, "let us be gone. " Thus speaking, Fortunato possessed himself of my arm. "Not I," I replied. " he asked, at length. The wine sparkled in his eyes and the bells jingled. I was so pleased to see him, that I thought I should never have done wringing his hand. Will not they be awaiting us at the palazzo, the Lady
протасовская диетаFortunato and the rest? Its walls had been lined with human remains, piled to the
протасовская диетаvault overhead, in the fashion of the great протасовская диета catacombs of Paris. " "And I to your long life. Three sides of this
протасовская диетаinterior crypt were still ornamented in this manner. The noise lasted for several minutes, during which, that I might hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labours and sat down upon the bones. "The pipe," протасовская диета said he. " "Yes, yes," I said; "yes, yes. But now there came from out the niche a low laugh that erected the hairs
протасовская диетаupon my head.
протасовская диетаWith these materials and with the aid of my trowel, I began vigorously to wall up the entrance of the niche. Come, we will go back ere it is too late. I paused again, and this time I made bold to seize Fortunato by an arm above the elbow. "Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee--by these angels he hath sent thee Respite-- respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore! " Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though

Rethink Waste:
Campus Waste Reduction Initiative
As part of JMU's Environmental Stewardship Action Plan, the university adopted a goal to reduce waste. In 2011, JMU sent 35% of our solid waste to be recycled and 8% to be composted (see diagram of waste disposal destinations). This is a significant increase since 2008 when 33% of JMU's solid waste was sent to recycling and none was composted.
However, we still have significant opportunities for improved recycling. Measurements by Health Science students indicate that an average of 1/3 to 1/2 of waste put in trash cans on campus should have been disposed of in a recycling bin. Multiple actions have been taken to increase recycling:
• Additional recycling bins have been deployed and a comprehensive bin re-labeling effort was made.
• Composting bins were made available in the Festival Student and Conference Center.
• Behind the scenes composting has been adopted at the all-you-can eat E-hall and D-hall facilities.
• Dining take out packaging, such as cookie bags and clear clam shells, have been replaced by compostable packaging.
• Bulk, confidential shredding is available through JMU Recycling and Waste Management.
• The Copy Center offers high quality, tested, recycled paper.
• The JMU recycling guidelines were improved & widely distributed.
Of course, the most environmentally beneficial strategy for waste reduction is to simply not create the waste in the first place. Once waste exists and must be disposed of, EPA ranks source reduction (including reuse) as the most preferred method, followed by recycling and composting, energy recovery (see the EPA Waste Management Hierarchy diagram.)
Please spend 10 minutes rethinking the way you generate waste. Best practices for JMU have been provided in a format that allows you to identify and report which actions you will implement. These practices were developed based on their measurable, significant effects for JMU and their ability to be practically implemented. For best practices for individuals, departments and events, contact Amanda Bodle at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you would like assistance implementing waste reduction, training is available through Training and Development's "Choose Environmental Stewardship" series.

TUTANKHAMEN, Egypt's boy king, was killed by the inherited blood disorder sickle-cell disease - not malaria. So says a German team in what appears to be the best shot yet at solving the mystery of the pharaoh's death.
From falling off a chariot to murder by poison, the cause of Tutankhamen's early demise has been a source of speculation since his mummified youthful remains were discovered in 1922. He was 19 when he died around 1324 BC.
The first extensive scientific investigation of the mummy was reported by Egypt's chief archaeologist Zahi Hawass and colleagues earlier this year (JAMA, vol 303, p 638). After running a battery of tests, including X-rays and genetic analysis, they concluded that an inherited bone disorder weakened Tut, before an attack of malaria finished him off.
Key pieces of evidence were ...

Bishops say gay rights laws damage Christian freedoms 60
12:20 PM — Leading Church of England bishops have claimed that equality laws mean gay rights are being "privileged" over the rights of Christians. The figures, including former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey and Bishop of Winchester Michael Scott-Joynt, said that gay rights supporters are able to "suppress all disagreement or disapproval and 'coerce silence'."

This fermented wheat germ extract exhibits positive effects against cancer
Avemar is a naturally fermented wheat germ extract that has been subjected to a great deal of research scrutiny, particularly in the area of cancer treatment. What makes Avemar stand out among other known therapies is the fact that its effectiveness isn't limited to any one specific type of cancer. So far it has exhibited positive effects against all forms of cancer cell lines tested.
Cancer Cells Are Gluttons for Glucose
Before I can discuss how Avemar works, however, I should provide some basic explanations about how cancer develops and spreads. Tumor cells assume their unique characteristics according to their diverse genetic aberrations.
Whether they proceed to replicate, grow, and eventually spread throughout the body is determined by enzymatic activity and their accessibility to various nutrients—which is where nutritional habits, environmental factors, and hormones have a direct influence.
Each of these has the potential to interfere, block, or promote enzyme activity and metabolic pathways that tumor cells depend on for their survival.
For years, pharmaceutical companies have also focused their efforts in this arena in an attempt to find cures for various forms of cancer. One of their top priorities (and one area with the greatest potential) has always been to uncover compounds that inhibit glucose metabolism in tumor cells.
Every form of cancer cell utilizes glucose at rates 10 to 50 times higher than that of normal healthy cells (a well-known phenomenon referred to as "the Warburg effect"). Unlike normal, healthy cells that utilize glucose primarily for energy, tumor cells use glucose to increase the production of nucleic acids (necessary for the formation of additional RNA) and various proteins (needed for the cancer to continue to grow).
In simple terms, cancer cells have only one function: proliferation. To achieve this function, cancer cells need large amounts of glucose that they can convert into building materials for new cells. As the tumor grows, more and more glucose is consumed. Two things occur as a person's glucose is diverted to the cancer. First, fatigue sets in. Second, since less glucose is converted to necessary fats and protein, the body begins to waste away (a process known as cachexia).
Not Throwing the Baby Out With the Bath Water
One of the main problems with conventional cancer therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation is that they are non-specific, so they destroy normal, healthy cells along with disease-ridden ones. Thus, the attempt to kill the cancer cells often kills the patient as well—which, as the old saying goes, is like throwing the baby out with the bath water.
To say Avemar works a little differently would be a gross understatement. Research indicates that Avemar works through several different mechanisms. One of its most unique benefits, however, is its ability to inhibit glucose metabolism in cancer cells.
Research at UCLA has demonstrated that Avemar reduces glucose flow into cancer cells—which inhibits their ability to produce additional nucleic acids and subsequently reduces their proliferation or growth. In the presence of Avemar compounds, cancer cells begin to utilize the available glucose to produce substances that actually inhibit cell division and stimulate programmed cell death (apoptosis) within the tumor.
As one report explains, decreased glucose consumption of the tumors results in a harmonizing of the patient's metabolism—as well as weight gain, even in people with advanced cancers. As a result, patients treated with Avemar also have improved tolerance for surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Further, Avemar achieves these results without creating any toxicity or damage to normal, healthy cells. (Ann N Y Acad Sci. 07;1110:348–61)
This particular feature of Avemar explains why cancer patients using the product routinely experience an improved quality of life. They have less fatigue, pain, and depression, and experience an increase in appetite that can help them regain lost weight. (Medicus Anonymus/Pulmono 03;11 (Suppl 1):13–14) (24th Congress of the Hungarian Cancer Society, Budapest, Hungary 2001)
A Foreign Cell Informer
Avemar also assists the immune system's ability to identify and destroy cancer cells. The cells responsible for this constant "seek and destroy" mission to rid your body of any foreign or abnormal cells are a specialized type of white blood cells called natural killer (NK) cells. However, cancer cells can evade NK cells by masking their outer membrane with a special substance that the NK cells recognize as "normal." Avemar suppresses the release of this masking substance—allowing NK cells to better target and kill the cancer cells.
Avemar's immune-stimulating ability appears to be so powerful that it can be useful in helping in the restoration of even the most severely compromised immune systems. In one study, animals were given skin transplants that the scientists knew would be rejected if the animals' immune systems were functioning properly. The thymus gland was removed in half the animals to weaken their immune systems.
The thymus is where T cells develop, which are important in cell-mediated immunity. Normally, without the thymus, any animal receiving the skin transplants should have a better chance of accepting the new skin cells rather than rejecting them.
The animals that had their thymus glands removed were then given Avemar. The other half were allowed to keep their thymus gland. The researchers discovered that animals taking the Avemar rejected the skin grafts almost as quickly as the animals that still had their thymus glands—clearly demonstrating the very strong immune-restorative effects of Avemar. And again, Avemar did so without any toxicity or damage to normal cells. (Immunopharmacology 99;41:183–186)
Avemar's safety has been studied extensively in cell lines, animals, and humans, and no adverse effects have been identified. When the data were reviewed by a panel of doctors and toxicologists, it was their opinion that Avemar has a toxicological profile similar to that of bread. (Though the product is made from only the germ part of wheat, the manufacturer has included a caution for people who are sensitive to gluten.)
A White Blood-Cell Enhancer
Not only is the use of Avemar free of toxic and adverse effects, it has the added benefit of being able to protect cells against such effects caused by conventional therapies. For instance, following radiation and chemotherapy, it has been demonstrated that Avemar was successful in restoring the bone marrow's ability to produce red blood cells—which should be a godsend to anyone receiving cancer treatment. (1st Congress of the Hungarian Society of Clinical Oncology. Budapest, Hungary, 2000)
One of the life-threatening complications of radiation and chemotherapy is a condition called febrile neutropenia. It occurs when the therapy significantly reduces the number of white blood cells (neutropenia). White blood cells are needed to fight pathogens, and patients are extremely vulnerable to infections (and resulting death) during this period when cell counts are at their lowest. An indicator of the seriousness of the infection is the presence of a fever (the febrile part).
A clinical investigation into the condition involved 22 children in Budapest with various solid-tumor cancers. Half of those children were given Avemar before and during their chemotherapy, and the other half were not. In the Avemar group, there were a total of 121 cycles of chemotherapy and 30 episodes of febrile neutropenia (24.8 percent). In the control group—those not taking the Avemar—there was a total of 106 cycles of chemotherapy and 46 episodes of febrile neutropenia (43.3 percent). Being able to almost halve the incidence of febrile neutropenia alone should justify the use of Avemar in all patients on chemotherapy. The number of lives saved would be astronomical. (J Pediatr Hematol Oncol 04;26:631–635)
In all of the studies where Avemar was used in conjunction with conventional therapies, not only were those therapies significantly more effective, but the patients experienced considerably less therapy-related side effects. Both the frequency and severity of common side effects like nausea, fatigue, weight loss, and depression were reduced. Additionally, their immune systems recovered more rapidly. (Pharmindex Handbook of Oncology 2004/2005. CMP Budapest, 2004. p. 611–617) (Cancer Biother Radiopharm 04;19:343–349) (Cancer Biother Radiopharm 99;12:277–289) (Cancer Biother Radiopharm 04;19:746–753)
Why Wait?
Given the existing scientific research, there's absolutely no reason that Avemar shouldn't be used with every single cancer patient—particularly in those with severely impaired immune systems and those who are undergoing conventional therapies. I encourage you to share this information with anyone you know battling cancer. It could save a life.

Move an object on mouse wheel scroll event using JavaScript
- Tuesday, August 19, 2008, 8:27
- how-to, javascript, tips and technique, tutorial
- 8 comments
Today, I've come along with another post where you'll see how to move a object within web page when you scroll the mouse wheel using JavaScript.In this example, when you move the mouse wheel the object i.e div moves upwards or downwards depending upon the scrolling direction the mouse wheel. Now, let's look at the detail of this tutorial in JavaScript.
View Live Demo
HTML and CSS for object to be scrolled on mouse wheel movement

This block moves as you move mouse wheel.

As you can see above code, the object which is going to be moved is placed in the division with id object. For the above division, I've defined style and you can see the CSS code below. Remember that ,you can change the below CSS code according to your need but remember that the position should be absolute.
#object { font-weight:bold; background:yellow; padding:5px; width:300px; position:absolute; left:500px; top:200px; }
JavaScript code for handling mouse scroll event.
window.onload = function() { //adding the event listerner for Mozilla if(window.addEventListener) document.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', moveObject, false); //for IE/OPERA etc document.onmousewheel = moveObject; }
First of all, we need to attach the mouse wheen scroll event to the document.As you can see in the first line of above function, event listner "moveObject" is added to the mouse scroll event in the document for Mozilla browsers and in the second line event handler "moveObject" is called for document.onmousewheel event for browsers like IE and Opera etc.
Now look at the mouse wheel scroll event handler function "moveObject"
function moveObject(event) { var delta = 0; if (!event) event = window.event; // normalize the delta if (event.wheelDelta) { // IE & Opera delta = event.wheelDelta / 120; } else if (event.detail) // W3C { delta = -event.detail / 3; } var currPos=document.getElementById('object').offsetTop; //calculating the next position of the object currPos=parseInt(currPos)+(delta*10); //moving the position of the object document.getElementById('object').style.top=currPos+"px"; }
As you can see in the above function first the scrolling delta value is calculated. The delta variable holds the value -1 or 1 depending upon the movement of the wheel.
After calculating the detail value, the top offset of the object is taken using offsetTop property using JavaScript. After that, the next position of the object is calculated, which is 10 pixel up or down from the current position of the object.
Finally, style.top property is used to set the current position of the object using JavaScript.

Great !

In IE6 this solution is not good, because delta would be ~(+/-)2,3333… Why don't you norm with absolute value? This function return +1 or -1, so
delta = event.wheelDelta / 120;
delta = event.wheelDelta / Math.abs(event.wheelDelta)
wrote on 6 September, 2008, 16:08
@Nucc-thanks for the suggestion I've not checked with IE6, let me test it and make correction to the code if I find the bug…
wrote on 10 November, 2008, 20:48
to perfect this one I think it should stop at the edges of the screen. noticed it running slower, if scrolled with shift or alt down(using FF3). Would also be great if it could scroll horizontally when holding ctrl.
wrote on 18 November, 2008, 20:30
This is JUST what I have been looking for!!!! Something to scroll my main div which isn't the topmost div so only scrolls when the mouse is over an object (text/image) in it or its scroll bar. (I'll use the scroll bar page for ppl whose browsers won't support this script, though, of course. It just won't work as nicely for them.)
I found this after much searching on Google.
Thank you!

A very good one, thanks.

2012 will be a life changing year in more ways than one, maybe two. You will finally learn to do that backflip thing from a standing start if only in the visualizing it your mind sense.
Beware starry eyed economists in all of their forms especially if they shout.
You will accidentally add a measure of spirits to a Manhattan Cocktail you were making and find that it is simply the best cocktail you have ever tasted. Try as hard as you might you will never be able to recreate that once splendid moment again. That's your 2012 that is.
You will once again toy with the idea of changing your name. Just remember that your bank is under the bitter aspect of a pedantic Jupiter for the first half of the year and any attempt to alter your account details are fraught with difficulties, meaning the computer can't do it.

Beyoncé's very-live rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" will no doubt be the one thing people remember from Thursday's press conference.
That, and the fact that the singer assured folks, "I will absolutely be singing live," when it comes time to perform during the Super Bowl halftime show.
"I am well rehearsed," she said, after she'd said that a lack of prep time had led to her using a prerecorded track for the inauguration. "This is what I was born to do. What I'm born for."
Beyoncé preps for Super Bowl halftime show
So what else did Bey chat about with the crowd gathered at the New Orleans Convention Center?
You know, like will there be a Destiny's Child reunion, as is widely rumored?
Beyoncé responds (maybe) to controversy
"I can't really give you any details," she said coyly—as well as not really answering whether she might be performing at the Grammys, too—and also noted, "I have so many songs and trying to condense my career into seven minutes is not easy because all of my songs are like my children."
However, Beyoncé did admit to feeling a bit jittery.
"I'm nervous," she said. "When I was driving up, I got chills looking at the Superdome. There's so much history there."
And so much history to come.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I know this is quite off topic... however it deals with numbers generated by a
computer, so....
So I have some solar insolation values- 1 value per day for an entire year.
the graph of solar insolation (y-axis) vs. day of year (x-axis) vary in shape
- sometime looking very similar to a Gaussian distribution. I would like to
characterize the relative fatness of these "Gaussian-like" graphs with
something like a coefficient of variation... however, to the best of my
knowledge things like the CV operate on frequency distributions, which in
this case would only be characterizing the variation within the insolation
values with respect to eachother.
just for reference a sample image can be found here:
and if anyone is interested this is part of a dataset that was created and is
being visualized with the open source GIS package called GRASS. (yeah for
thanks in advance, and sorry about the slightly off topic (and probably bone
headed) question...

Butterfly on a WallPosted: April 11, 2014 Filed under: Brick Wall, Soft Wings, Twirls, Watercolour | Tags: Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolour pencils, Fabriano Watercolour Paper, Penny Black stamps, Tsukineko Memento inks 16 Comments
I sat and coloured with watercolour pencils the other night while watching Skyfall. I started with the butterfly stamped in Memento Angel Pink to give me a pale outline for colouring. Once the colouring and blending was finished I restamped the butterfly over the top, this time in Memento Grape Jelly. I wasn't sure what to add as background so I painted a grey wash first then sketched a shadowy stem with leaves. It still wasn't quite what I wanted so I added some bricks by masking the butterfly and stamping the brick wall stamp. Of course I splattered a bit of blue, orange and grey around too. I realize now that either the butterfly is huge or the bricks are way in the background.
The panel I had created was basically square so I decided to make a larger than usual card for me. I added just one strip of orange then framed it with a purple cardbase. Ardyth just reminded me the current Card Concept challenge is a butterfly one so I will link up there. I am not sure that this card fits neatly into a particular style but the closest is probably shabby chic & vintage.
Stamps: Soft Wings, Sentimental, Brick Wall

Watercolour butterfly tutorialPosted: January 25, 2014 Filed under: Background Stamps, Schizeas, Soft Wings, Tutorial, Watercolour | Tags: Penny Black stamps, Tsukineko Memento inks, Tutorial 21 Comments
Believe it or not here is my second tutorial for the year and it's still January! You will see in the video I am using a different watercolour block to the one I usually use. It is 7″x 10″ so I divided it into four panels to create four little watercolour pictures. Only two will end up on the blog, this one and a little snowscape. The other two were tossed. I flicked masking fluid over the watercolour paper before I began filming the tutorial. Embarrassingly the panel was not centred at the beginning of the video but I corrected it after a minute or so. You can see that some of the ink seeped under the painter's tape I masked with. I didn't crop that out because I thought it added to the whole "vintage-found it in the attic" feel of the card. As you know usually I would not mat with a patterned panel but I just wanted more of the lovely elderberry & cantaloupe colour combo so it is a little busier than my usual.

OLW 158 Fly away with mePosted: September 18, 2013 Filed under: CAS, OLW, Soft Wings 13 Comments
This week's One Layer Wednesday challenge is to feature something with wings on your card. I chose this beautiful butterfly stamp and a palette of browns.
I masked the left hand side of the card front so I could sponge and stamp the right hand side. I have roughly used the rule of thirds for my stamped panel. The butterfly is stamped over both sides directing the eye from left to right. I also added a little sponging to the bottom edge in keeping with the vintage feel of the card.
OLW 158 Rules
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single layer of card stock folded in half. No other layers of paper allowed.
2. Make a card with wings on it. It could feature birds, butterflies, planes, mosquitos ; anything with wings.
3. Post your card somewhere online and link back to it here using the InLinkz button on the sidebar. If linking to a blog post, please be sure to link to the specific post and not your blog's home page.
4. The most important rule of all…HAVE FUN!
Butterfly DiePosted: June 28, 2013 Filed under: CAS, Creative Dies, Delicate Wings, Soft Wings 21 Comments
After a week of sneak peaks, Penny Black's new Creative Dies are now available in the store. What a treat to have all these beautiful dies to which co-ordinate with some of my favourite stamps. I chose the Delicate Wings die to cut a mask out of a post-it so I could sponge a background of blue for the soft wings stamp. I sponged Versamagic chalk inks in three shades of blue then used a stamp positioning tool to add the detailed stamp in Versafine Majestic Blue. I used two post-its as masks so I could sponge a base of colour to stamp my sentiment over.
Visit the Penny Black blog for this week's sneak peaks and links to the design teams creations using the new dies.

Emerging ButterflyPosted: April 8, 2013 Filed under: CAS, Delicate Florals, Soft Wings 22 Comments
Yet another card from me which ended up looking totally different to the original plan! But never mind that, I ended up with a card which fits the Less is More challenge this week to use Lime Green and Black.
I began by masking the sides of the vertical strip with post-it notes. In the strip I repeatedly stamped a flower from Delicate Florals then sponged over the top getting gradually darker towards the bottom. The Soft Wings butterfly was stamped five times in grey before the final one and the sentiment were added in black.

Lace and a butterflyPosted: June 10, 2012 Filed under: CAS, Soft Wings 8 Comments
For inspiration today I browsed through my Handmade Cards board on Pinterest. I have over 100 beautiful cards pinned and they feature a range of styles and techniques. The one I chose to CASE today is a gorgeous vintage style card by Cindy Lawrence. My colour scheme is similar to hers and so is the layout but I switched the technique slightly and the stamps.
To create a textured background I embossed the Floral Thread background stamp in clear on ivory cardstock. I then sponged over the embossing with Wheat Versamagic Chalk Ink and a little Memento Rhubarb Stalk.
The butterfly is stamped in Rhubarb on ivory, the letter back ground in Desert Sand and the sponging done in both colours. The edges of the butterfly panel and it's mat are distressed. I found some vintage lace to put behind the butterfly and one burgandy button (which unfortunately looks dark brown in the photo!) to finish it off.
Stamps: Floral Thread, Soft Wings 40-099, Letter Background, Lace Delight (PB)
Inks: Memento Rhubarb Stalk & Desert Sand, Wheat Versamagic Chalk ink and Versamark (Tsukineko)
Also: Clear embossing powder, vintage lace and a button
Double sponging tutorialPosted: May 18, 2012 Filed under: CAS, Penny Black, Soft Wings, Tutorial 37 Comments
On Wednesday I posted a card featuring a little square filled with a butterfly and some music. Today I have a tutorial showing the technique on a new card with a bigger image panel.
First I sponged three colours randomly over a piece of white cardstock. Careful blending is not important because the sponging will be stamped over and responged.
I stamped the music background over the stamping in a darker colour.
It's hard to see but next I embossed the butterfly in clear embossing powder.
The final step is to sponge over the whole panel in a dark colour and watch the butterfly emerge.
Thanks so much for dropping in today; to see more thank you cards pop over to the Penny Black blog

Future sociologists may find it interesting that, in the early 21st century, the success of an event is judged by how many (or few) crimes are recorded; still, the 2010 edition of Europe's biggest street party has been branded just that, after reported crime fell by more than a third. Police arrested nearly 300 people over the two-day festival, mostly for drug-related offences, although two people were stabbed and four arrested for carrying firearms.

In the same vein, the various mortises on the door—the recesses in which the hinges sit or the lockset slides—must be carefully cut out. Too deep and the door won't close properly and might spring open. Too shallow and you'll get creaks and scrapes every time you move the thing. The key to a good mortise is a sharp chisel and a steady but light hand. This is not the time to bang and dig with all your strength.
The good thing about doors these days is that you don't have to spring for the expense of solid wood to get its look and feel. Many doors are made from solid medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or are so-called "solid-core" doors, which means they have a veneer of wood or MDF over a core of particleboard or wood pieces. They're not only better at soundproofing than hollow-core doors but more resistant to warping than solid wood. In fact, MDF is one of the most stable materials you can choose. However, if you intend to use a stain or clear finish on your door instead of painting it, you'll want to get one with solid wood or wood veneer.

By Colonel Keith Wilkins OBE. Marine McSweeney's public execution in Malta was shocking even by today's standards. Hanged for the killing of Corporal James T Allen after a dispute aboard the battleship HMS Rodney in 1837 McSweeney was buried in a remote graveyard on the Mediterranean island of Malta where even today locals keep the memory of Private Thomas McSweeney alive with candles and flowers laid at his gravestone every day. Col Wilkins places the story in the wider context of life and punishment in the Royal Marines during the early decades of the nineteenth century.

The latest fundraising project from the Royal Marines Association has seen them spend the last 6 months tirelessly working with injured Royal Marines to produce the first injured soldier calendar. The calendar features 12 lads with a range of injuries and illnesses that are not necessarily battlefield related but each one has faced and overcome adversity in some shape or form and has came out of the other side smiling. The idea behind the calendar was to show that after having a life changing incident it's not all doom and gloom and that a lot of positives can come from one negative. It is also to show the determination, spirit and cheerfulness in the face of adversity that has become world renowned with the Royal Marines.
The Royal Marines Museum has made a 'Remembrance' film with Portsmouth Live TV. The film focused on memorials for Royal Marines at the Museum and during our week of Remembrance in the lead up to our Service of Remembrance on Sunday 13th November we hope you enjoy the seeing it.

A decade after UK Forces began operations in Afghanistan, Tristan Kelly reports from Helmand as all eyes look forward to the planned end of UK combat operations there in 2015.
In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US and the Taliban regime's refusal to hand over those responsible, US and UK forces launched Operation ENDURING FREEDOM on 7 October 2001.
The operation's aim was to end Al-Qaeda's use of Afghanistan as its base for terrorist operations. Five years later UK troops moved into the Taliban stronghold of Helmand with the same essential aim of not allowing Afghanistan to once again become a safe haven from which terrorists can launch attacks on the streets of Britain.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day visit to Nepal, starting Sunday, is likely to draw much diplomatic and political attention to the profound religious intimacy between India and the world's only other nation with a majority of Hindus. There are many countries, with different religious denominations, with which India celebrates shared history, culture and civilisation. But the spiritual affinity between the people of India and Nepal is intense and lived every day. Yet religion has not been of policy consequence in the diplomatic engagement between Delhi and Kathmandu. Until now.
A number of new factors make religion quite relevant to the current discourse on India-Nepal relations. On Monday, in Kathmandu, Modi will head to the Pashupatinath temple on the banks of the Bagmati river and offer prayers. Most Indian leaders travelling to Kathmandu do make it a point to visit the Pashupatinath temple. What lends some special significance to Modi's visit is the explicit religiosity of the new Indian leadership and the extraordinary resonance it is likely to get in Nepal.
When he returned to Varanasi after being elected prime minister, Modi offered prayers at the Vishwanath temple and joined the "Ganga aarti" at Dashashwamedh Ghat. During her visit to Dhaka last month, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj went to pray at the Dhakeshwari temple. It is no secret that the dates for Modi's visit were finalised with the awareness that visiting Pashupatinath on a Monday of the current lunar month, Shravan, is considered especially auspicious. There is no escaping the fact that India's new leadership is now more in sync with the deep religiosity of the subcontinent.
For most leaders from Pakistan and Bangladesh, an official visit to India would be incomplete without a pilgrimage to Ajmer Sharif. For leaders from Myanmar, Sri Lanka and many other nations in Asia, visiting Bodh Gaya would be an important part of their itinerary. Indian godmen, of course, have long attracted visiting heads of government and state from around the world.
Nepalese leaders across the political spectrum think it is entirely appropriate that Modi visit the Pashupatinath shrine. Many in Nepal are hoping that Modi will find time to visit Lumbini, the birthplace of Gautama Buddha, and Janakpur, Sita's birthplace. Logistics, however, are likely to stop the prime minister from visiting either place during the current trip to Nepal.
For Delhi, the policy issue is not about Modi visiting temples in Nepal. The potential danger is about India crossing the line between celebrating the shared religious heritage and blundering into Nepal's domestic debate on the role of Hinduism in the construction of the post-monarchical state. At the turn of the 1960s, King Mahendra declared Nepal a Hindu state and used religion to legitimise the monarchy's power. In 2008, the constituent assembly abolished the monarchy and declared Nepal a democratic, secular and federal republic.
Gyanendra, the ousted monarch, and his royalist supporters are hoping that the BJP's ascent to power in Delhi might bring …continued »

How to Take Care of Paint and Brushes
Two Methods:Brushes Used for Acrylic PaintingPaints
If you want to start painting, you need to know how to take care of your paint and brushes so your tools last a long time. If you don't know how to take care of them, it will be a hassle to buy more, then to not know how to care for them. Here is how to keep them in good shape so they will have a long happy life.
Method 1 of 2: Brushes Used for Acrylic Painting
1Brushes can be very expensive, so care for them.Ad
2Clean your brushes thoroughly after using them. If the acrylic paint hardens around the bristles, the brush may be permanently ruined.
3Never leave your brush in water with the bristles down for any extended period of time. The bristles may fall out, and it will not be a good thing! You will own brushes without bristles if you keep them in water for long.
4You can buy brush holders that keep your brushes from resting on the bottom of the container, and will keep the paint-covered bristles off of the table, or whatever you're resting them on. Paint may stain, so keep the brush off the table.
5If your brush is leaning, and it bends, it will take that shape and permanently warp the brush. It is like jelly. It warps around, and then hardens.
6If you haven't got time to clean the brush properly, you can put it in the freezer and thaw it out later for thorough cleaning. It may not seem like it, but this is a great strategy for it.
7Don't use warm or hot water to rinse off the bristles. The heat can cause the glue inside the ferrule (metal part holding the bristles to the handle) to weaken, eventually causing the brush to fall apart.Ad
Method 2 of 2: Paints
1Realize that if you don't use Paint Drying Liquid correctly, it can lead to your paint cracking. Buy this at an art supply shop, or online.
2If you put more water in the paint, it will be thinner # and less intensity of the color.
3If you put not so much water in it, the color will be brighter.
4The first time you use your paint after opening, it will be brighter in coloration; as you use it more, the pigment will lose its vibrancy and grow dimmer and dimmer (this can be used strategically when working on different pieces).Ad

CBCT—Balancing Benefits and Risks
The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs has issued new guidance on the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dentistry. Their findings appear in an advisory statement in the August issue of the Journal of the American Dental Association.
The Council concluded that clinicians should prescribe CBCT imaging only when they expect that the diagnostic yield will benefit patient care, enhance patient safety or improve clinical outcomes significantly.
The advisory statement discusses:
Read the entire advisory statement in the August issue of JADA.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also posted an informational webpage on dental cone-beam computed tomography. The FDA is promoting the safe use of CBCT in dental and maxillofacial imaging, particularly in the pediatric population. Recommendations are provided for parents, patients and health care providers to help reduce unnecessary radiation exposure from CBCT.
EPA seeks to reduce mercury waste from dental offices
Planning for the summer issue of the ADA Professional Product Review began shortly after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it would propose a rule intended to reduce mercury waste from dental offices. The agency plans to focus its technology assessment on amalgam separators. Several states and municipalities currently require dental offices that place or remove amalgam restorations to use these devices.
In anticipation of the EPA's proposed rule, the ADA Laboratories purchased and evaluated nine separators available in the U.S. to determine their amalgam removal efficiency. The bottom line—all nine amalgam separators passed the ISO 11143 requirement of 95 percent amalgam removal efficiency. However, you'll want to read what the Review has to say about each separator's features and bypass mechanisms. The Review also features the article, "Amalgam Separators: Practical Issues for Purchasing, Installing and Maintaining Amalgam Separators," to help dentists with buying decisions. The EPA is expected to publish a final rule in the next two years.
This is the second issue of the Review that's online as a digital magazine and as a PDF that you can print. An executive summary of this issue appears in the August Journal of the American Dental Association. We'd like to hear your feedback. And, we'd also like to know what products or product categories are of most interest to you in your practice. Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Exchanging patient information seamlessly and securely
Imagine that you are a dentist who wants to consult an endodontist some distance away about a problem a patient is having. You need to send her the patient's x-rays in a fast and secure manner. Today, you may have trouble transmitting the images digitally if you and the other dentist use different systems. To make the transfer seamless, the systems must be interoperable. That's where the ADA is contributing to a solution.
The ADA is working to ensure that dental offices can exchange diagnostic digital images and patient data securely with other healthcare entities, no matter what system they use. The ADA's Standards Committee on Dental Informatics (SCDI) serves as the sponsor of the Dental Domain under the independent standards group known as Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE). SCDI is leading the team of experts that is developing the standards and testing the software that will make that goal a reality.
"We are responding to ADA members who have told us, 'I can't exchange my dental images with the specialist down the street because we have different software and computer systems'," said Dr. Kirt Simmons, Dental Domain co-chair for IHE. "This collaboration [between the ADA and IHE] is working on solutions that will help dentists to select interoperable systems allowing for the secure and private exchange of images while maintaining HIPAA compliance."
By 2014, SCDI will sponsor the first IHE Connectathon, an annual event where vendors of dental systems will test their systems for conformance to the new interoperability standards, as verified by independent judges. An interoperability demonstration is also planned for the 2014 ADA Annual Session.
Additional Resources:
Interoperability of digital dental imaging files is made possible through DICOM, a standardized file format that makes possible the export and import of digital medical images and data between systems in a secure manner. More information on DICOM and interoperability of digital dental imaging systems can be found in ADA Technical Report No. 1057, Guidelines for Digital Imaging Systems and Interoperability in Today's Dental Practice available through the ADA Catalog.
HIPAA compliance is a major factor when considering exchange of digital images. The ADA makes available numerous information sources on HIPAA at ADA.org/HIPAA.

On a weekly basis I probably receive more than two dozen Iran related videos from various friends that are silly and pointless. Yet recently I was forwarded the above Persian language video of Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that is quite intriguing with its mocking political commentary about this man. An American friend who forwarded the video to me, asked me to translate the video and explain what was so funny about it because its message goes beyond the typical silly shtick you see on the Internet.
Those who don't speak a word of Persian will obviously not understand the video, but it's simply a political satire of Ahmadinejad and his involvement with Iran's nuclear weapons program. The music and dance of the video are based on an old and popular Iranian children's nursery rhyme called "Atal-Matal-Too-Too-Leh". The song is quite similar to the American "Hokie-Pokie" song kids sing in grade school. This video is not only hilarious because Ahmadinejad's character speaks in a high pitched child's voice, but the lyrics of his song are filled with double meanings and puns regarding his failure to grasp the dangers of having a nuclear weapon. Aside from Ahmadinejad's character doing his song and dance, a caricature version of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini also appears in the video as Ahmadinejad's puppet master. In the video Khameini is referred to as "Seyyed Ali" and is the real powerhouse in Iran who is pulling the strings on Ahmadinejad. There are other political references in this video to the "NPT" or Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the "Agency" which is a reference to the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency". In the course of the video, Ahmadinejad's henchmen are thrown off a swing, that is probably a reference to the fact that Iran's regime easily executes those who let them down—in this case it would be individuals involved in Iran's nuclear program. The "Shahab" mentioned to in the song is a reference to Iran's long range missile systems with the same name.
So you wonder who produced this video? Most likely it was made by one of the many pro-democracy groups in the U.S. who abhor Iran's regime controlled by radical Islamic clerics. I can verify the source of the video because a small logo in the upper left hand corner of the video is of the famous "sun and lion" which was one of the symbols of Iran's government prior to the Islamic revolution of 1979. Only those opposition groups sympathic to the regime of the late Shah typically use this symbol in their communications.
While some of lyrics of the song are not audible, I've taken the time to translate as much of them as I can. The translation to English obviously does not have the same funny meaning as it does in Persian:
"Atom-Atom-Too-Too-Leh", I am Ahmadie the shortie…
I have a bomb that is nice and round and belongs to Mister Seyyed Ali…
Seyyed Ali told me 'Ahmadie enjoy this bomb and place it ontop of a Shahab'. I didn't know what I had with this (bomb) but with his help I made a mistake".
"Mister Seyyed Ali made me stupid and he made me excited…
He said the world was too busy".
"Atom-Atom-Too-Too-Leh", I am Ahmadie the shortie…
I have a round bomb that belongs to Mister Seyyed Ali…
When I throw the bomb down, it goes up in the air and you can't imagine how high it goes!"
"The bomb was being prepared, but someone exposed my pool of heavy water and I was turned upside down. The Agency and NPT came and sealed the place where the bomb was being made—it was as if I was hit over the head because I had failed".
"Now get me a ticket, a ticket straight to the garbage can!"

where to buy an electric start for 6hp briggs and stratton intek horizontal shaft.?
im structure a mini chopper and have no idea where to buy an electric starter for it. i dont want one that you have to plug in i want one you can run off a battery. it doesnt have to recharge by itself i legitimate want it to start the engine. money is not really an issue but obviously i dont want to splash out an arm and a leg for one.
first that's the worst apparatus to use! look to see if there are punch outs for a starter..if they are there then you can add one..you are right there will be no charging system on that engine if it come with a starter..you might have to tap the starter mount holes..and institute sure the fly wheel has a ring gear for the starter to engage? that was very cheap engine and rebuilds only gave ya lil more constantly. the starters new run a bout $150.

Briggs & Stratton Announces Cost-Saving Measures
In a recent news release posted to the Briggs & Stratton website , the corporation announced their plan to take strategic action toward cost reductions.
Briggs & Stratton has announced a few changes they will be making to the distribution and manufacturing of their products, taking effect in the fiscal year 2013 (July 1, 2012). In addition to these changes, there will be a reduction in their workforce globally.Leaving mass merchants
Through a wide variety of products—snowthrowers, generators, pressure washers, garden tractors, lawn mowers and power cleaning systems—Briggs & Stratton has a presence at all mass retailers.
In their recent news release, the corporation announced they will no longer pursue placement of their lawn and garden products in the mass-merchant channel. While Briggs engines will still be found in other OEM products, their own lines of lawn care equipment will become dealer-exclusive products.
Briggs & Stratton was unable to confirm which lawn and garden brands will leave the mass merchant channel. They include: Simplicity, Snapper, Snapper PRO, Ferris, Murray and Brute.
"It is too early to tell at this point because we may work with retailers and/or OEMs to license certain Briggs-owned brands," explains Laura Timm, director of corporate communications for Briggs & Stratton Corporation.
"Briggs & Stratton has always focused on our nearly 14,000 independent dealers," says Timm. "They have been a very important part of our business for a very long time and will continue to be in the future."
Briggs & Stratton will continue to invest in the success of their existing dealers, and grow their network where it is necessary.
"Dealers add tremendous value to our customers and we will continue to help them grow their business through education, innovation and customer support," says Timm. "We are always looking to improve the quality of our dealers and add dealers in underrepresented areas."

Problem, men also might have a special someone, or a particular memory they wish to keep near, either when away from home, or at times when things are a little less happy. The problem is, men can not really wear lockets, as a locket is a thing that women normally use.
Thus I introduce the Man Locket.
Based around a ring on a chain, which is something any man can manage to pull off.
Step 1: Find a suitable ring.
Obviously, this is a great way to 'up-cycle' an old ring that doesn't fit, or maybe a present that you don't wear.
Whatever the reason, bring an old piece of jewelry back to life.
Step 2: Cutting circles.
I decided that I wanted the outer sections to be leather, so I cut out some leather circles from some scraps i had.
There are 3 ways you can easily cut out your sections.
- If your lucky, (like me) find a circular shape(coin) you can cut around thats just right
- Use the inside of your ring to cut around
- Measure the ring, and use a compass to cut out circles
Step 3: Further circles.
One of my fiance, and one to hold a microSD card.
The first was made by sticking a photo onto some card, and then drawing a little something for the back, the second was made with 3 layers of thin card with a space to hold the microSD card.
I then attached one piece of leather on the back of the microSD holder.
very cool idea, can't wait to make one !! And it will work perfect w my coin rings !
Thanks for a cool idea.

Daxx Kartel ascends the stage in a most unusual way.
He is either in a wheelbarrow or a baby carriage, which has earned him reproach and praise for he says this is creativity--something that has eluded some local artistes.
Kartel, real name Sulaiman S. Ssebunya, joined the music world with Tulikumukutu last year, a hit that has endeared him to fans. He has also been nominated in the Best Stage Performer category in next month's Hipipo Music awards.
He has managed to stand out because of his special genre of sorts called Luga-Latino, a combination of Luganda and Spanish.
Kartel explains that he learnt Spanish from his Puerto Rican half- sisters with whom he used to exchange music files. On stage, he captures the audience when he talks like a drunkard but he neither smokes nor drinks alcohol.
"I developed this from my grandfather who was a drunkard and would utter strange words. I took these words to be artistic with [the] ability to create meaning if used musically," Kartel explains.
Despite his passion for music, Kartel prioritized education and will graduate next month from Kampala University with a degree in Mass Communication. "Music expires, but knowledge is forever," he notes.
With two videos Tulikumukutu and Beat Ewunya Nnyo already out, Kartel is soon releasing a seven-track album called Coloured Voodoo/Coloured Magic. Other songs on the album include: Vaayo, Spectacular, Waitress, Numbera One, and Muko, all in Luga-Latino style.
"After that album, I will work on my second which will be called Malpractice. I don't want to be a one-hit wonder."
His X-factor
Barely a year in music, Kartel seems to have mastered the art. He has a Kartel Saturday night at Rise and Shine bar in Ggaba, where he hopes to establish himself and develop a firm fan base. His X-factor, in addition to music, is dance and drama, which gives him an edge over other musicians.
"Those three attributes work hand in hand, but very few Ugandan artistes have them all. That is my weapon because I can sing, dance and entertain people."
His producer, Alex Lugwana, is equally proud of Kartel's talent.
"Kartel is a special artiste with good strategy. He knows his audience. He does his things in a local way but when they can sell internationally." Kartel portrays local settings in both songs and videos.
"It makes no sense to an American to see a Ugandan video shot with Porsche cars. But it makes sense to them when they see boda bodas, wheelbarrows and ghettos in our videos," Lugwana adds.
Big dreams
The Tulikumukutu star is a big dreamer. Though he is quickly rising up the charts, Kartel says he will not sing forever. "I want to create a legacy and pave way for other young people; I won't die on the stage."
He thus plans to sign endorsement deals with big companies so that when he retires, he will still have a cash inflow. Gifted Kartel is a songwriter, choreographer and music director, who has previously written songs for Young Mulo (Tebakusobola) and Tuff B.
To Kartel, most Ugandan artistes are popular but are not celebrities.
"To be a celebrity is a combination of talent, language, personality and ability to influence change but our so-called celebrities lack such attributes."
Biggest challenge
Making music is a combination of production, promotion and publicity but of the three Ps, promotion has been Kartel's biggest problem.
"It's a competitive industry and so [materialistic] which is why many talented people with good music have failed to make it to the limelight."
Big bang
Together with producer Lugwana, Kartel is now trying to build an umbrella of young talent known as Wizard Order that they hope to expand.
"Everything today is being run by the youth and I promise you that there is going to be a revolution very soon," Lugwana says.
Dream: To become an international artiste who can organise his own concert singly.
Favourite music: Kadongokamu and band music
Best artistes: Herman Basudde and Lucky Dube
Allegiance to: Mother Florence Nanfuka and Alex Lugwana
Best accomplishment: Being nominated after less than two years in the industry.
Biggest fear: To be called a down-going artiste.
Craziest thing done: Going on stage with a baby's bottle.

"A nation should be judged not only by how and why it sends its young people off to battle, but also by how it welcomes them home, and how it remembers those who sadly did not return."
~ Bob McDonnell May 24, 2007 at the Virginia Wall of Honor Dedication
As the above quote states, it is extremely important that our military receive a warm welcome home, know their service is appreciated and respected, and most of all be assured they will not be forgotten. It is equally important that their families know that the sacrifices of their loved ones will always be remembered. Many Americans have stepped up to provide support; Remember and Respect is committed to being among those who offer care and comfort.
We hope that you will share our vision and commitment with family and friends. Be sure to visit our Facebook page where you may leave a comment or share a story.

How to Pronounce English Words
Learning any new language is a process that takes patience, discipline, and most importantly, a great deal of enthusiasm. I have seen many students in the past who said they were eager to learn languages ranging from American English to Japanese, but in the end weren't successful because they didn't utilize the tools and practices available to help them master that new language.
If you regularly visit American English University, you know that there are countless topics and lessons required in order to cover all of the basic pronunciation rules and techniques. American English University is designed specifically to provide many of the most current guides and practice tools available to help you, our student, succeed in your goal of achieving that true American English accent!
But, in order to get that American English accent, you must consider the overall approach you are taking. How often do you practice your pronunciations? Do you immerse yourself in American culture and media? How many times a week do you have conversations with friends and family in American English? For those of you dedicated to learning American English, you probably do each of these things everyday! Even if you aren't to that point yet, don't worry! In today's lesson we will cover some highly useful tips for how to pronounce English words.
Official Practice
This is what I refer to those times when you take 30 minutes of your day to sit down and practice just your American English accent. The best way to learn a language is by focusing on it without any distractions. By setting aside personal time to study, you will have greater success in mastering new mouth movements. In the past, mu students have had great success by setting an accent-training schedule for themselves where they focus on three things in each practice session:
- Learn 5 new difficult words and 5 easy words in English.
- Spend a minute on each word, focusing on mouth movements for each syllable.
- Putting these new words into sentences, as if you are in a conversation. Be creative!
Practice Regularly
If you want the single best piece advice for American English and improving your accent, this is it! Practice regularly! Doing so will allow your brain to retain more information and continually expand understanding of the English language. Without frequent practice, you will have a MUCH tougher time getting the accent you want. So instead of cramming for hours at a time, try setting aside 30-40 minutes a day, 7 days a week, to read American English University's free lessons and work on your pronunciations. You will be amazed at your progress!
Identify weaknesses and build strengths
Almost every single person has a different way of learning new languages. It's all about identifying the things you struggle with and creating a plan to overcome those weaknesses. Maybe you have a tough time new vocabulary words or have trouble speaking American English in conversation. We all have difficulties with new languages, so don't be discouraged! Instead, make a list of the 5 things you need to work on and 5 things you are good at. You may be surprised at how much this simple activity can help you form a personal language learning plan!
Record your voice
How will you know if you are making progress if you can't hear yourself? As I've mentioned in previous lessons, using a personal voice recorder will help you analyze how you pronounce words, phrases and sentences. If you typically have trouble pronouncing 'r', take a few minutes and record yourself pronouncing 10 or 15 words that begin with 'r'. Not happy with how you sound? Record yourself again, this time making small adjustments to alter your pronunciation and accent. This kind of hard work will pay off in the end, I promise!
TV and Movies
This is one of my favorite ways of learning a new language! It isn't the first step in the process, but watching movies and TV shows, and listening to music in English will train your brain to identify words more effectively. In addition to being fun, watching American movies will give you more exposure to the American English accent.

'Once Upon a Time' Season 3 promo: Neverland, here we come!Add to Favorites | Once Upon a Time
ABC has released the first promo for "Once Upon a Time's" third season, which features most of the main cast heading off to Neverland in search of Henry, who was taken off to this other world by Greg and Tamara, at the behest of Peter Pan.
Based on the promo, and what Mr. Gold said in the Season 2 finale, Peter Pan is no one to be trifled with. In fact, he sounds like a bigger villain than perhaps we've yet encountered on the show so far.
In addition to new Neverland faces, like Tinkerbell, the show has also cast Ariel, the little mermaid. The red-haired tail-flipper will be played by Joanna Garcia.
"Once Upon a Time" returns Sunday, Sept. 29 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
