Questions tagged with 'title'http://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/tags/title2015-10-09T15:08:31ZHow should I use the title of something that begins with the word "the" in a sentence? http://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/70917-how-should-i-use-the-title-of-something-that-begins-with-the-word-the-in-a-sentence/
Let's use the band The Killers for example.Would I say "I've been listening to some The Killers lately", or would I drop out "the" and say "I've been listening to some Killers lately" since "the" sounds awkward after a word like "some"?

asked Aug 31 at 16:20 by Dillon, New member

1 answer

 You can drop either some or the. Both just don't sound right to me. I would drop some.

 Capitalizing titleshttp://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/68415-capitalizing-titles/
 "I bestow upon you the title of chevalier."

 vs.

 "I bestow upon you the title of Chevalier."

 When a name is not immediately following the title in these cases, should the title be capitalized?

 Thank you.

 using a QUOTE as a book title and using quotation markshttp://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/52537-using-a-quote-as-a-book-title-and-using-quotation-marks/
There are millions of answers about using quotation marks with titles. However, here's my question: If the title of the book is a quote can you use quotation marks as part of the title? For example, if you wanted to write a book called, Be the change you want to see, a quotation by Gandhi, could you title your book, "Be the Change You Want to See" using the actual quotation marks?

asked Oct 19 '14 at 17:58 by Gary James, New member

1 answer

 I would say no. Even though the line is a quote, there is no need to put quotation marks around it in the title; it was add confusion and is unnecessary.

 Capiltalisation of "and" as the first word in a title after an ellipsishttp://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/46601-capiltalisation-of-and-as-the-first-word-in-a-title-after-an-ellipsis/
 I am part of an art collective, and we decided to name one of our recent projects "... And It All Ends Here". Though I know this title as a sentence is not grammatically correct, we felt that it was ok to take artistic license with it for our purposes. My question is about the capitalisation of the word "and" at the beginning. I was always taught that the first word of a title is ALWAYS capitalised, however some people have told me that it should not be capitalised because it is after an ellipsis (specifically because it is the word "and"). Could anyone help out with this? I can't seem to find anything about this anywhere.

 Thank you in advance!

asked Jan 05 '14 at 16:53 by S Emery, New member

1 answer

 In the middle of a sentence, you would not capitalize and when it follows an elipsis. Of course, if it was formal writing, you wouldn't be using an elipsis in the first place. You aren't talking about the grammar rules of a sentence here. This is a title of art. By all means, you should be able to take artistic license with anything. Just like Mick Jagger, you "can't get no satisfaction" if you don't.

 The general rules for titles include always capitalizing the first word and not capitalizing small words such as and. The general rules for titles probably don't include any mention of an elipsis.

 My two cents as a grammar geek who also loves art:

 Starting the title with an elipsis and the word "and" tells the reader or viewer of the art that something came before this collection. Both the elipsis and the word "and" are used in the title for a reason. Just as a picture paints a thousand words, a word & punctuation can create a different understanding. If they weren't important to the title, you would just call it "It All Ends Here."

 It is always okay to take artistic or poetic license for art and poetry.

 possession after a titlehttp://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/35099-possession-after-a-title/
 Hi everyone how do I indicate possession when there's a title tagged onto a name - is it:

 Jane Doe, PhD's, research into "XYZ."

 or

 Jane Doe's, PhD, research into "XYZ."

 Thanks!

asked Jul 23 '13 at 15:38 by Don McSwiney, New member

1 answer

 This is a good question, but I don't know the answer. PhD's would not be correct in this usage, I'm pretty sure, but Jane Doe's, PhD is awkward as well. I would rewrite it as 'Dr. Jane Doe's' and eliminate the confusion.

 comma always inside quoteshttp://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/15637-comma-always-inside-quotes/
 Student is writing a sentence with the following.....

 The following books are, "Example 1" by John Smith, "Example 2" by Mary Tell, and "Example 3" by Steve Key.

 In this sentence the teacher gave specific parameters to place the titles in quotes. I am just not sure if a comma needs to go inside the closing quotation mark on each.

asked May 14 '13 at 20:16 by jkerge, New member

1 answer

 No comma is needed inside the close quotes. You don't need the comma after 'are', either. If the list of books was long, you could separate the list with a colon after 'are', but it's not needed with just three items.

 The following books are "Example 1" by John Smith, "Example 2" by Mary Tell, and "Example 3" by Steve Key.

 Title for a science fair projecthttp://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/14373-title-for-a-science-fair-project/
 Does this question make sense? We are comparing the effectiveness of different detergents for a science fair project. We were wanting to use this as the title.

 Which detergent will be emergent?

Thanks guys! He won third place. :)

answered Apr 19 '13 at 01:32 by melinda, New member

 'Emergent' isn't the word you want. If you're try to determine which is the best, use the word 'best'.

 Which detergent is best?

 Rather than use a question in the title. I would describe what the project does.

 A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Detergents.

answered Apr 12 '13 at 12:11 by Lewis Neidhardt, Grammarly Fellow

 On the other hand, a title can sometimes take poetic license. That means you use a pun or some other play on words. In this case, it is a word close to what you mean that creates a rhyme. For a science fair, I would recommend using both. The title can be shorter & bigger on the sign, to attract attention, and a more correct subtitle can go underneath. I would change the verb to "is" since emergent already indicates changing status.

Dear Kooza performers (especially you, highwire guy with the balance pole running backward): If we're not clapping, it's because we're thunderstruck by your awesomeness. And, possibly, trying to remember to breathe. We went to the 1:30 show today and I loved every single minute of it. I'm celebrating a 50-something birthday this weekend, and I got front-row seats for my present. I felt like a kid again! You are all exceptionally talented. Thank you for an awesome, and memorable, afternoon!

Milan, Day 2: Perfect Designs for Books & More
I've been snapping pictures since I got to the Milan Furniture Fair on Wednesday. We've spent most of our time checking out the contemporary designs.
In looking back over these photos, I've noticed how much I love the library designs! The media centers and display shelves from the contemporary designers are eye-catching as well.
Take a look:
Couldn't you just spend hours in this sleek, elegant library?
White modern shelves are offset by bright blue furniture.
The dark wood finish creates a warm, rustic feel.
A variety of depth and color draws your eye into this modern wall unit.
Notice the varying heights of the shelves - simple, but adds a lot of interest.
Dark wood shelving brightened considerably with strip lighting.
Whites and neutral tones are very popular at the fair this year.
There are more pictures in our Facebook photo album - enjoy!

Surge Testing of Digital Isolators
Many applications require isolation of hazardous voltages in order to meet international safety standards. To ensure the safety of equipment and operators, these standards often require that isolating components, such as digital isolators or optocouplers, survive high voltage surges in excess of 10kV (peak). The ability to test the surge capability of an isolator is, therefore, an essential part of developing safe and reliable components. Learn more

All which you and Maggie say are true. However, perspective regarding the alleged events needs to be maintained.
More importantly, the further erosion of trust between juniors and senior military leadership will almost certainly follow. Here, and the signal we send to our enemies, is where the real damage may be done.
Undue command influence of such matters is rarely punished, as we saw from the Haditha incident. And undue command influence on the part of politicians has become a way of life. (Re: Murtha)
Yes, let the court work. That the court has to work at all will have its repercussions.

Wireless carrier Bluegrass Cellular has announced this week plans to provide its customers with the advanced data transfer speeds that 4G LTE can deliver.
The carrier will roll out a LTE network as part of the Verizon Wireless LTE in Rural America (LRA) program, providing users in Kentucky cities of Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, Glasgow, Radcliff and Bardstown with the new speeds first.
The carrier notes that both its 4G customers and Verizon Wireless users will receive access to LTE services in the 4G LTE coverage areas, and that Bluegrass Cellular subscribers will also enjoy the connectivity around the United States on Verizon's network.
"This initial launch covers a population area of over 348,000 people in our largest markets and includes the I-65 corridor providing continuous 4G LTE coverage between Louisville and Nashville," Ron Smith, president of Bluegrass Cellular, said.
"We are particularly proud to provide LTE service to Fort Knox and its population of more than 40,000 soldiers, family members and civilian employees."
The initial 4G LTE network rollout includes Hardin County: Elizabethtown, Cecilia, Ft. Knox, Radcliff, Rineyville, Sonora, Upton and Vine Grove; Hart County: Munfordville and Horse Cave; Nelson County: Bardstown and Coxs Creek; Barren County: Glasgow, Park City and Cave City; and Warren County: Bowling Green, Claypool, Bristow, Plano and Smiths Grove.
The mobile phone carrier also announced that it plans on making the new service available for users in more areas in 2013.
The availability of this service will provide users with the possibility to enjoy not only faster downloads of photos, but also access to video messaging, gaming and other content download on their mobile devices.
Those who will chose to adopt the carrier's 4G LTE service will enjoy download speeds of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of 2 to 5 Mbps.
"Bluegrass Cellular made the decision two years ago to partner with Verizon Wireless as the fastest approach to provide 4G LTE to our customers both locally and nationwide," said Smith.
"We are pleased to announce the successful rollout of the first phase of this partnership and look forward to the continued expansion of 4G LTE coverage in the future."

Wonderful image of an iconic little mountain Dougie. Great sky to top off that view too.
Brilliant, absolutly brilliant composition and landscape.
I'm fine so far, I'll be back on the site, soon.
Well composed image from this lovely little bay in the loch, Dougie.
That peak looks pretty impressive, dark and brooding above the sunlit valley.
A little mountain, I like that idea... Just a hop and a skip to the summit...
Maybe a wee bit more than that Moira, it's steep to start then a bit easier with a decent path which goes all the way around the rocky summit. Spectacular views to the north .
That's a gorgeous cloudscape, Dougie. Looks like a peak I could haul myself up, too. I like the slightly muted tones in the f/g.
That's kind Malc, I can actually remember the day I took this, by the time I got down to the sandy bottom I was knackered and wet inside my waterproof jacket. But it was a fine result watching the sun moving down the glen and leavingthe mountain in shadow.
Oh - the lovely Stac! I've been up there a few times - steep but "shortish" climb with wonderful views. You can just see the roof of my husband's crofthouse from there. This is so evocative - heather, rocks, those reeds I'm always trying to capture unsuccessfully, beautiful clouds (no midges) and the Stac itself!
love the reeds growing amongst the water along with a gorgeous sky, something we have not seen of late
A quite stunning image Dougie. Beautiful balance of colour and just superbly composed and captured. I really cant fault it.
I agree with above. Excellent landscape photography.
Thanks for your user award Derek, very kind my friend. :

JC, Wolmer's score Digicel Twenty20 victories
Jermaine Lannaman, Star Writer
Beaten Grace Shield finalists Jamaica College (JC) and Wolmer's made winning starts to the inaugural ISSA/Digicel Urban Twenty20 competition after registering solid wins against Jonathan Grant and Kingston College (KC), respectively.
JC got the better of their Spanish Town-based counterparts by eight wickets, while Wolmer's notched a 44-run win over Kingston College in Group Two action.
Both matches were played at KC.
In the first game, which was reduced to nine overs due to pitch problems, Jonathan Grant batted first and made 63 for seven.
Akeem Gordon led the way with 23 not out against Jason Tapper and Gyasi Falconer, who each claimed two for 12.
JC, in response, posted 64 for two off 7.1 overs, with opener Romario Tomlin 20 not out and Courtney Dowdie, 15, scoring most runs.
"I think we did well under the circumstances, as we were without our captain," said Dennis Miller, coach of JC.
"I think our true test, however, will come in our second game against Wolmer's."
The feature game saw Wolmer's batting first and posting a massive 202 for four. Sadique Henry, with the competition's first century, 101 off 50 balls, spearheaded the charge for Wolmer's, with Malik Thompson, 30, providing support.
KC, in reply, were then restricted to 158 for seven with Oshane Wright, 32, and Shavar Christie, 12, putting up most resistance.
Suwayne Morrison and Amir Dalley, with two wickets each, topped Wolmer's bowling.
The competition will continue today with another Group Two double header at the Spanish Town Prison Oval. JC and Wolmer's will square off at 10 a.m., while at 2 p.m. Jonathan Grant will entertain KC.
The competition is divided into two groups of four teams, with each playing the other on a round-robin basis. The group winners at the end are slated to contest the final.

Releases @ TCC
Rare opportunity to explore newly successful archeological site
NORFOLK, Va. (May 19, 2006) – An ancient artifact pulled this spring from the sea near Athens, Greece, fills the computer screen of a local college professor. It, and other objects from a newly successful archeological dig, could mark a new page in understanding the content of historic art.
So hopes Rhonda Deussen, a Tidewater Community College art history instructor, as she looks at images of the bell-shaped sculpture - the first of many objects that she will examine for artistic value and origins. Deussen has won a prestigious Fulbright Award to study this summer at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, Greece, and investigate an archeological dig. The award gives her unique access to research and publish her findings from the dig.
"Winning the Fulbright award was a very ambitious endeavor for me, and I couldn't have won it without the help and encouragement I received from the TCC community," says Deussen. "Ed Gibbs, director of the Visual Arts Center, and Dr. Terry Jones, provost of our Portsmouth Campus, were especially supportive of my efforts throughout the entire selection process."
Deussen plans to focus her Fulbright studies on the topography and monuments of Greece in their historical context, the interpretation of literature and historical writings, and how ancient sources can interpret archaeological discoveries. As a result of the award, she intends to add Athens and the Peloponnesus to TCC's study-abroad programs.
Each year, the traditional Fulbright Scholar program sends some 800 American faculty and professionals to 140 countries to lecture, do research or participate in seminars, and some 800 foreign faculty come to the United States. The Council for International Exchange of Scholars, under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of State, administers the Fulbright Scholar Program for faculty and professionals.
Tidewater Community College
is the second largest of the 23 community colleges in the Commonwealth
of Virginia, enrolling more than 37,000 students annually. The 37th
largest in the nation's 1,600 community-college network, TCC
ranks among the 50 fastest-growing large community colleges. Founded
in 1968 as a part of the Virginia Community College System, the
college serves the South Hampton Roads region with campuses in Chesapeake,
Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach as well as the TCC Jeanne
and George Roper Performing Arts Center in the theater district
in downtown Norfolk, the Visual Arts Center in Olde Towne Portsmouth
and a regional Advanced Technology Center in Virginia Beach. Forty-four
percent of the region's residents attending a college or university
in Virginia last fall were enrolled at TCC. For more information,

Mayor Gray, County Executive Baker Make Wager Over Football Game
Tracey Gold Bennett | 9/9/2011, 9:14 a.m.
Call it a friendly wager between leaders. Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker and Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray have set the stage for a showdown between H.D. Woodson and Fairmount Heights Hornets football teams on Sept. 9.
If Woodson wins, Baker will take the mayor to Jerry's Seafood on Lanham Severn Road in Lanham, Md. If Fairmount Heights emerges victorious, then Gray will host Baker for a lunch at the historic landmark restaurant Ben's Chili Bowl on U St. in Washington D.C.
"The mayor says he is counting on the mighty Woodson to beat Fairmount Heights. He says when that happens the county executive will miss out on two Ben's Chili Bowl half smokes, but he will enjoy Baker's treat at Jerry's in Prince George's County," said Doxie McCoy, senior communications officer for the mayor.
The match is set to kickoff at 7 p.m. The game will take place at the newly-constructed, green, H.D. Woodson High School which opened to students on Aug. 22.
The school boasts a track and field area, and a football stadium that could rival a division one university.
The former school building, touted as the "Tower of Power," was first opened in 1972 but lacked a track and sufficiently operable swimming pool for its athletes.
Woodson Warriors are D.C. Interscholastic Athletic Association champs, while Fairmount Heights Hornets are a formidable foe with the Hornets, who are ranked 97th in the state of Maryland.
"This is a lot of fun," said Scott Peterson, spokesperson for Baker. "Both County Executive Baker and Mayor Gray take pride in their communities. They were inaugurated one month apart, they took office around the same time and they have developed a strong relationship that's growing.
One side note: Prince Georgians will not have to trek into the District for Ben's Chili Bowl fare. Ben's Chili Bowl is opening a new location at Redskins stadium in Landover, Md.

Kragthorpe: Utah has to keep playing BYU in football or else
While saying he's not promising the annual football rivalry with BYU will continue forever, Utah athletic director Chris Hill clarified, "I wouldn't want to panic anybody."
My response?
Embarrassment, having not known that "panic" is a transitive verb, and horror, because Hill panicked me.
Now that I think about it, he's the one who's panicking, period.
These teams absolutely have to play every season, and not just for my benefit. Utah-BYU football games drive sports interest in this state like no other event. If anything, I wish the Utes and Cougars could meet twice a year, as NFL divisional rivals do.
Hill's approach is well-intended. He wants to be able to book some attractive games without overloading the Utes' future nonconference schedules, as he told The Tribune's Lya Wodraska,
While I understand Hill's motivation for balancing the nonleague schedule "It's scary in the Pac-12," he said before the season this is an overreaction to life in the new conference.
What he described as an "awfully aggressive" 2011 schedule has treated Hill's program well enough that the Utes and their fill-in quarterback can finish 3-6 in conference play and qualify for a bowl game. Besides, what part of "54-10" did Utah not enjoy in Provo? As for Pittsburgh, which Hill said he never would have agreed to play if he knew the Utes would be joining the Pac-12, last weekend's opponent at Heinz Field apparently was not the Steelers, after all.
Utah's nonconference schedule ranks sixth among Pac-12 schools this season, as judged by the opponents' current Sagarin Ratings. And that's with the unexpected value of Montana State's ranking ahead of many Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
It's true that the grind of the Pac-12 schedule is demanding, particularly when the Utes' bye week came so early and injuries are testing their depth. But would the Utes really be overwhelmed by a nonconference run of BYU, a Big Sky Conference team and once in awhile a brand-name school?
That resembles Washington's 2011 schedule (Eastern Washington, Hawaii, at Nebraska), and the Huskies are thriving, only three years removed from an 0-12 record.
Coach Kyle Whittingham would like to play some opponents from states in the Utes' "recruiting footprint" translation: Texas and I'd welcome that as well. An occasional meeting with Texas A&M or Texas would be fun, and other intriguing possibilities exist.
My point is, those games can be mixed in here and there without sacrificing the rivalry or ruining a season.
Unless you're contending for the national championship, the reality of the Pac-12 is that overall records barely matter, beyond the 6-6 standard for bowl eligibility. It's OK to bite off a lot occasionally, such as seasons when Utah has five conference games at home, because the rewards outweigh the risks.
Hill's hallmark as an athletic director is giving his programs a chance to succeed, with an ability to see the big picture, and he deserves tremendous credit for that vision. That's why he's potentially willing to live with part of his legacy being the interruption of one of college football's greatest rivalries.
There are those who contend everybody needs a break from the rivalry, that reducing the frequency of games would make the competition more civil and help each side become less obsessed with the other in a healthy way.
Sorry, that's not going to happen unless one school quits playing altogether. BYU and Utah no longer belong to the same conference, but let's face it, every fan of one school judges the other guys every week, anyway. They might as well keep teeing it up once a year on the same field, as always.
After all he's done, Chris Hill can't be the one to undo this.
Who's toughest?
Nonconference schedules for Pac-12 teams, in order of difficulty (based on average Sagarin Ratings of opponents):
1. UCLA • at Houston, San Jose State, Texas (76.61)
2. Oregon State • Sacramento State, at Wisconsin, BYU (75.24)
3. Oregon • LSU*, Nevada, Missouri State (72.28)
4. Arizona • Northern Arizona, at Oklahoma State, La.-Lafayette (70.87)
5. Arizona State • UC Davis, Missouri, at Illinois (70.75)
6. Utah • Montana State, at BYU, at Pittsburgh (69.43)
7. Washington • Eastern Washington, Hawaii, at Nebraska (68.89)
8. Stanford • San Jose State, at Duke, Notre Dame (68.30)
9. Colorado • at Hawaii, California**, Colorado State*, at Ohio St. (67.82)
10. USC • Minnesota, Syracuse, at Notre Dame (67.19)
11. California • Fresno State, at Colorado**, Presbyterian (53.95)
12. Washington State • Idaho State, UNLV, at San Diego State (52.94)

Sergio Valente Heli Desktop Clock. NEED NOW.
we love you! XXXXXX GF
Taking stock of the year past and celebrating the year not yet lived deserves a special moment. Champagne is always a part of it for me. I also have an everyday policy of always having a good if not great bottle of champagne chilled in my refrigerator at home. The idea behind this is that I never know what day will be the day that deserves to be celebrated, it's also an optimistic way for me to open the refrigerator after a particularly punishing day and instantly change my attitude. When I see the bottle reserved for the next great celebration it reminds me that tomorrow might just be that day even if today wasn't. There have been big and small celebrations for me over the years since I've begun to stock a chilled bottle. The most memorable was when I headed home before a celebration on the eve of the 2008 election results. En route I realized that Obama would win and that if nothing else i was about to witness a great deal of change while getting to participate in the most energized election of my lifetime. It brought America back together again. Lucky me, I had a bottle of Dom chilled. It was grabbed and shared when Obama won as we toasted what might be possible.
HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE & the best 2012 that the world has to offer!
Two great places to snag some small batch and mainstream champers.
Hello. I'm going to begin sharing some of my favorite things across all aspects of life. Here goes with one of the less glam but most functional things I've come across in a long time. I was lucky enough to be the sous chef for a good friend and amazing chef Rob Buono for thanksgiving this year. It really does make chopping 10 shallots a breeze, or a pile of garlic where my hands don't smell like garlic for the next week. He had me use this gem of a chopper a few different times, and I now have one on order.

Actress, mother, Gooper and author Gwyneth Paltrow really wants us to think she's just like us.
See, her new cookbook, My Father's Daughter, is being released today. And although she threw herself a private, star-studded launch party Monday with celeb friends like Jay-Z, last night Gwynnie was a surprise guest at a very mass-market event: Good Housekeeping's Shine On awards in New York City.
(Because no one keeps their house better than Gwyneth!)
So what wisdom did she have to share with the audience at Radio City Music Hall?
"Becoming a mother for the first time in 2004 changed my life in many ways," she told the audience. "Suddenly, everything came into sharper focus and I became keenly aware of what was truly important in life."
No, it wasn't keeping a macrobiotic diet.
"What it really comes down to more than anything is your health and family," Gwyneth finished.
We can get on board with that.
But we're not sure her cookbook, which features "working parent" dinner recipes and name drops Leonardo DiCaprio, will do anything to change her elitist reputation.
Ironically enough, though, Gwyneth's mug looked a bit shiny at the event and probably could have used some powder. So maybe she's more like us after all?

How do you select a magician?
Are they a professional?
You know the old adage, "you get what you pay for". If the person you are considering is a hobbyist or amateur you may want to reconsider. Although they may work for less, the end result may be a disaster. A professional will have far greater experience with working with audiences and how to entertain people as well as being more diligent in making and keeping commitments. Let's face it, the working professional makes his living by making sure you have a great event. They cannot afford to drop the ball. The amateur may know some great tricks but is more likely to cancel if something better comes along or even worse they may spend an hour doing nothing but card tricks.
Are they age appropriate?
Many professional entertainers only work with certain ages of people. Some prefer children only, others adults, and many only work with college aged individuals. By asking what age group they prefer working with you can avoid a potential disaster. I work with all ages and always take extra material with me just in case. I have more than once been hired to do a children's show and end up with an audience of adults. If I only worked with children that would have been a real problem.
Make sure your needs are clear to the performer and that their talents match.

Sarah Palin Wants Levi Johnston To Disappear
Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston shocked the world when they announced they were engaged again. The on-again, off-again couple seemed happy despite Sarah Palin's obvious disapproval of their reunion. It's no surprise considering her future son-in-law has betrayed and bad-mouthed the Palin clan on numerous occasions. According to a Palin insider, Sarah has already threatened him if he ever messes with her family again.
"Levi did everything he could to destroy Sarah and her family. He has accused Sarah of being a bad mother, a bad wife and a bad leader. How can he walk back into their life like nothing happened? He should think again," a Palin insider tells me. "He may have won Bristol back, but he will never gain the trust of Sarah. She doesn't forgive and forget."
Sources tell me that the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee is furious about her daughter's decision and thinks Bristol is making the biggest mistake of her life -- despite the fact that she and Todd eloped in 1988 without telling their parents.
But it was ultimately Sarah who played grandma and comforted Bristol during her toughest times, while Johnston soaked up his fifteen minutes of fame by posing for Playgirl and hanging out with comedienne Kathy Griffin.
But it all comes back to politics. A Republican insider tells me Sarah is worried that her loose-lipped son-in-law will continue to ruin her political career and the public's perception of the Palin family.
"You can't control who your kids fall in love with, but Sarah wants this kid to go away. However, that doesn't look like it going to happen," the insider admits.
"So for the time being, Sarah is doing everything she can to protect her daughter and herself. And trust me, Levi has been warned. This isn't the sort of family you want to mess with twice."

Joe you are a perfect example of what happens when parnets should have used birth control. My guess is that you are unaware of who sent troops to the middle east in the first place. "Libs" didn't start this, your muslim friends did. Your President sent troops. BTW, which armed conflict were you a part of? You, likely, had a bad back,like Rush, which turned out to be a wide "yellow stripe" running sown the middle. Crawl back under your rock.

Levi is an imature young man and what he says and does should not be responded by any member of the Palin family. Who cares what a 20yr old says anyway??? He must need the attention and the money he received from all the talk shows. All the networks wanted was to give air time to him so he could trash the Palin family and we all know how the networks feel about Sarah Palin. He really needs to just go away and never be heard from again!!
- Thursday 15 July
Lets see if I am getting this correct, just let me say I am 48 and remember going door-to-door campaigning for Richard Nixon when I was 12, so I have been an active Republican for 36 years! Sarah "I am a Christian" Palin and all her supporters have hidden behind the bible to bash everyone from illegal immigrants, gays, mulsims, or anybody that isn't White and Christian and Stupid, now she has a family issue with an unwed daughter wanting to marry the baby's daddy, and Sarah "Does nnot forgive or forget"! What ever happend to "Turn the other cheek", Love thy Brother" and Judge not lest thou be judged"? Sarah you need to go back and read the Bible a few more times!
- Thursday 15 JulyBy Jessica
Lol Joe, you and Peggy have to be trolls. There's no other way to explain the spelling and the fact that your posts make no sense. What does Obama (or Muslims) have to do with the Palin's family issues? Stay on topic.
Hey Joe...nice tooth.
I'm constantly amazed at the level of stupidity out there, but I guess I shouldn't be with all you clowns getting your news from Rush Limpwillie and Glenn Hitler over on Faux News.

I know Ron, it's incredible, Joe attempts to align himself as Speaker of The House, on Pop Eater no less! What he needs to do, is use his new medical coverage benefits to either get that snaggle tooth cleaned or yanked. Then, he could gum himself into further oblivion.

1.) There is very little that twit said that can be proven to be a lie. Speaking your opinion of someone is not and can not be considered a lie. He only made that apology to get back in Bristol's good graces...whatever I'm not impressed.
2.) He might be dumber than the box the rocks came in; but really Bristol isn't that far ahead of him - she's planning on him wearing a camo vest in the wedding that's "her" dream?!? Alaskan or not; outdoorsmen or not; that's tacky for a wedding.
3.) What does Obama have to do with this conversation? Joe if you want to rant like a madman; please at least find a post that would be relevant too...
4.) As for Queen of the Dipsh*ts here...I honestly think it says a lot about how controlling she really is of Bristol (and likely her other children) that Bristol felt the need to proclaim this publicly before telling her Mother; so she couldn't be bullied into changing her mind. This just proves to me that Bristol has been a pawn in Sarah's political game from the moment she told her mother she was pregnant.
5.) If anyone is to blame it is Sarah; by controlling and micro-managing Bristol she's made her feel like this is her only escape...

Seriously, Joe - it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're an idiot than to open it and remove all reasonable doubt.

Timed as a prelude to its southern neighbors' 01SJ Festival, Berkeley Big Bang 08 presents three days of events and an exhibition of new media art at BAM/PFA and the Berkeley Center for New Media.

Owner Nick Bogdan wanted a unique name for Canton's indoor soccer team.
Canton could have had an old name for its new Professional Arena Soccer League team.
"I could have used the 'Canton Invaders.' It was available," Ohio Vortex owner Nick Bogdan said. "As a matter of fact, some people were urging me to use the "Canton Invaders.'"
The Invaders won five league titles while playing at Memorial Civic Center from 1984-96. Bogdan and Vortex Head Coach Denzil Antonio were teammates in Canton.
"The Canton Invaders played in a very unique time in soccer history, and it was a wonderful experience for those who came in," Bogdan said. "I don't want to be compared to the Canton Invaders. I certainly don't want to come in and hurt the reputation of what the city built as far as indoor soccer goes."
Why the "Vortex?"
Bogdan did not want to have a name that has been recycled by pro sports teams over the years. He believes "Vortex" fits well with the team's business model. The Vortex will operate as a not-for-profit organization with gate revenue and a percentage of concessions donated to charities.
"We are going to be bringing in people to the Civic Center who may never walk in to watch an indoor soccer game," Bogdan said. "They're coming to support their charity.
"One of the things I like about my model is we're not just dependent on the soccer community. We may be able to grow the support for the first time in the city.
"Pulling in, bringing in. ... I thought 'Vortex' was a very fitting name for what we're going to try to do."
Bogdan said he always will promote the Vortex as a Canton team even though the city is not in its name.
"The groups that are going to be coming may be from outside the Canton area," he said. "We wanted to break down some of the territorial lines and open this up."

Private Label Groomed to Take on Personal Care Brands
By: Mark Whalley
Posted: May 4, 2011, from the May 2011 issue of GCI Magazine.
- A survey conducted by Datamonitor in August 2010 notes 44% of Americans agree they are spending more on private label products than they were a year ago.
- Though private label brands are growing in quality and awareness, national brands are still most recognized in terms of quality and loyalty.
- Younger consumers are more willing to try different brands, including private label options.
- National brand manufacturers may also become more interested in developing their own private label options to create products on behalf of retailers.
A global Datamonitor consumer survey conducted in August 2010 found that 44% of U.S. consumers either tend to agree or strongly agree that they are spending more on private labels than they were in 2009. This data has significant implications for personal care products. Private label purchases might initially be motivated by a desire to save money, but, once purchased, many consumers find the quality of these products comparable to more expensive, branded equivalents. In fact, 66% of consumers in the global survey felt private label grooming products are at least as good as well-known, market-leading brands—which could be of concern to national and global brand owners pushing quality credentials.
Under these circumstances, these brands are going to have to work harder to differentiate their products if they want to win back consumers who have experimented with private labels during belt-tightening times.
Changing Private Label Perceptions
The downturn has undoubtedly had a major effect on private label popularity, but this is not merely a recession-driven phenomenon. In many developed markets, private labels were already highly structured and sophisticated before the onset of the global economic crisis.
While brand owners can expect some consumers to migrate back to national brands when economic conditions improve, it is anticipated this will likely not be enough to offset the gains private label has made in many personal care categories.

Rocker Pete is ready to roll again with charity show
Posted: May 19, 2014|
DRUMMER Pete Boot of Willenhall, one-time member of highly-regarded seventies rockers Budgie, has surprised everyone, including himself, by bringing back his successful charity concert after several years' absence.
Pete, who has been living with Parkinson's Disease for nearly twenty years, put on his first Fill Your Head With Rock show fifteen years ago, with the aim of raising a few hundred pounds for research into the condition.
The event surpassed all expectations, with performers from all over the country descending on the capacious Gilbert's club in Field Street, Willenhall, and it became an annual event, with bands coming from as far away as the USA to perform, and artists such as Metallica sending items for auction.
Four years ago Pete concluded that his gradually worsening symptoms meant that the organisation of the weekend-long event was more than he could handle, and Fill Your Head With Rock appeared to be over. But after a recent operation, he feels ready for at least one more crack at it.
"I had what they call Deep Brain Stimulation," said Pete, "and I'm up for doing it again now. We've got a lot of local bands already lined up, with more to follow, a mixture of originals and some of the best cover bands. This time we're focusing a bit more on young talent. The drummer from one of the bands, God-Dam, did his first ever gig at our first show fifteen years ago. He won a cymbal!"
The event will take place over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend, Sunday 25 and Monday 26 May, throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Acts so far confirmed include The Vectors, Blue Nation, Born Jovi, Rock of Ages, She Will Rock You, Lost in Grace, God-Dam, Killa Kangorillas and the specially assembled Booty's Bounce Back Band.
All proceeds will go to research into Parkinson's and other degenerative conditions.

The earliest local plans from 1811 show a building in this location. From about 1840 we have more information from the Tithes Commission records: the farm comprised about 28 acres which is more or less the area bounded by the stream in the middle of the allotments, Cranbrook Road, Kersteman Road and Redland Court Road. It was primarily a dairy farm as there were two cowsheds: one behind Dugar Walk and the other in the kink in the north-east edge of the Sports Field. Just in case you think that the farmer was keeping away from smelly animals, there were five pig-styes behind the farmhouse.
At the time of the photograph, the farmer was William Biggs and the original is clear enough to read the writing on the shed advertising the Dairy and Cream Teas. It is believed that the Biggs family left the farm about 1910 following an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. They were then connected with the Biggs Dairy at Henbury. It could be that there was also a connection with the Mrs Biggs who ran a dairy on Lower Redland Road opposite the Shakespeare in 1919. However by then the farmer was William Silas Ball. His daughter was at school with Joan Wakefield who is still a member of the congregation.
It is not clear when the farm ceased agriculturally. By the early 1920's the fields were being used for sports purposes and by 1930 most of the present building had been completed with St Oswalds Road and the area by Chapel Green Lane. One problem in trying to trace occupancy of the farm is that those compiling Kelly's Directory did not recognise that it existed!

Water Conservation
Alcoa Point Henry actively seeks to improve water management and conservation on site. The
Environmental Improvement Plan
outlines Alcoa Point Henry's approach and strategy for water management and conservation.
Significant Investments and Achievements
Since 2004, Alcoa Point Henry and Alcoa Anglesea have spent more than $1 million on water saving initiatives.
At the end of 2009, an 11% reduction had been achieved at the Point Henry Smelter and a 60% reduction at the Anglesea Power Station. The combined savings at these plants totals 38 ML and was achieved by undertaking water audits, implementing identified actions such as on line water metering, the installation of low flow showerheads and waterless urinals, as well as water education programs.
In addition both sites continue to support the implementation of community water saving activities through innovative community partnerships.
Barwon Water Partnership
Sustainable water use is a key goal for Alcoa,
Barwon Water
and the drought-affected greater Geelong community. Alcoa and Barwon Water work together to deliver a greater level of water supply security and sustainability for the community's and Alcoa assets through innovative recycled water projects and facilities.
In 2004 Alcoa Point Henry formed a partnership with Barwon Water to develop and implement a Water Management Action Plan. The plant wide initiative included a review of current water consumption, improved water management procedures, investigated alternative water sources and initiated strategies focused on water conservation. Importantly the plan also developed a coordinated approach to raising awareness of water saving techniques with employees.
In 2007, Alcoa Point Henry, the Alcoa Foundation and Barwon Water commenced a new partnership aimed at sustainable water use, under the banner of the 'Alcoa Water Conservation Fund'. The three-year partnership has seen more than $150,000 allocated to the Alcoa Water Conservation Fund to assist customers to deliver innovative water saving projects throughout Geelong and the Surf Coast. The projects provide an estimated annual water saving of 40KL in the community which represents around 12% of the site's water usage.
The Alcoa Water Conservation Fund activities have included:
wastewater recapture project
at Barwon Health's renal service sites and the McKellar Centre
upgrade of existing irrigation infrastructure
at local sporting grounds
covering the cost of concession holders to access the
WaterSecure Home
offering Alcoa employees Water tank rebates
In 2010 Barwon Water became Alcoa's first
Make an Impact 'Associate'
, enabling the program to be shared with the wider Geelong community.

Discharge from the site is monitored in a variety of ways, from regular inspections to quarterly sampling for water quality compliance.

Toys for Social & Emotional Skills: Toys to help children feel secure as they talk about feelings or emotions by imitating family life, providing non-verbal channels for expression, or offering an open-ended exploration of everyday themes in creative ways.
Children learn social and emotional skills in so many ways: gatherings with family, storybooks, time with friends, and, of course, through play! Imaginative playtime is an especially helpful tool for children who may resist talking about feelings or emotions; using certain toys and play activities lets them feel safe and confident as they share their thoughts with others. Caregivers can help by providing children with toys that help mimic family life, that express emotions in non-verbal ways, or that offer up open-ended opportunities for kids to explore everyday themes in creative ways. Being in a fun-filled, friendly environment also benefits emotional development, so support your child by playing together . . . and have fun!

Mindy O'Brien, Design Consultant
Say hello
We love our new master closet! You have been wonderful to work with, answering questions, etc. Mindy & Jon, thank you for your patience and help. You worked magic on our old closet, now I can hardly believe that it belongs to us! Linda H. - Vancouver, WA
The new cabinets have totally changed the look of the room. We love it and our granddaughter tested it on Thurs nite by sleeping on the bed. And watching TV from the bed was really good!! The installers were great. Nice, took care of our carpets, did great job and care of installing the project. We loved working with you. Helping us design our room and pick out the wood and handles for it all. We really appreciated your promptness, willingness to listen to our needs, the accuracy of your design and your very pleasant personality. This is our third time using CA C. so we knew we were working with a good organization and you made it a fun experience. Thank you. Barbara and Stuart L. – Sherwood, OR
I feel very fortunate to be a Design Consultant for California Closets.
I am passionate about home improvement and simplifying our everyday lives within our homes and workplaces. I love listening to people share with me what their dreams and visions are for their space and working with them to turn those ideas into a reality with creative ideas and solutions. I think practically and outside the box to achieve this for every customer with whom I get the opportunity to work.
I also feel confident that I represent a quality product and service with California Closets. I love knowing that I am a part of this great process which serves you, the customer.
With a degree in Interior Design and 10 years of experience in the field, I am always looking for new design challenges when it comes to spaces in the home. Each day is unique and presents a new creative challenge for each individual's space. Some may be basic and straight forward and others take a little more thought. Either way, it brings me much joy to know that I get to be a part of bringing someone peace of mind for their everyday life.
I look forward to being a part of your project and working together with you to find solutions that will best suit you and your needs.

Birth dates help reporters watch over public money
An organization for employees of the state of Oklahoma is taking the state of Oklahoma to court to keep the state of Oklahoma from enforcing the law. Huh?
It's true, although the real target of the lawsuit filed by the Oklahoma Public Employees Association is The Oklahoman and in effect, the audiences we serve. What the OPEA purposely has done is create confusion among state employees about the intent of the Oklahoma Open Records Act. The organization also has a handful of enablers in the Legislature who are more than willing to do their bidding for it. That may be effective politics, but it's bad public policy and does a disservice to the taxpayers of Oklahoma who deserve a transparent government. The OPEA wants public employees' birth dates to be added to an already expansive list of information that is exempt from the Open Records Act. Current exemptions in the law include employees' Social Security numbers, home addresses and telephone numbers. Attorney General Drew Edmondson says birth dates should be considered available to the public unless there are overriding reasons to shut them off. So the OPEA went to court to prevent the state from making the birth dates available upon request. The confusion created by the OPEA in recent weeks has prompted telephone calls and e-mails from readers, including state employees, who question The Oklahoman's pursuit of the dates of birth, why we would want them and how we would use them. Please permit me to answer some of the most common questions and comments we've received. Why does the newspaper want this information? For decades we routinely have used dates of birth as a way of accurately identifying people, including government workers, when they are in the news for whatever reasons. Dates of birth for registered voters are available from the state Election Board. But not all government employees are voters, so we want the birth dates to eliminate common name matches when we conduct periodic background checks of public employees, whose salaries are paid by taxpayers. An example: This has allowed news organizations like ours to differentiate between Joe Smith, a registered sex offender, and Joe Smith, state employee. Here at The Oklahoman, two reporters share the same name as two sex offenders, but have different birth dates. The dates of birth are an identifying marker that goes a long way in protecting Oklahomans who have common names. Isn't this kind of information meant to be secret? No.
