Great product & great price
I bought the posters for my daughters frozen themed party. It looked great. Many pictures were taken. The only issue I had with them was the colors were dull. Also I had to tape them to stay up, otherwise they kept folding down.

Recently I posted a couple of articles on DeniseWakeman.com about Facebook marketing. While they are not specifically about business blogging, if you are using the Web to market your business, then no doubt Facebook is one of your online tools. In case you missed the articles, I want to make sure you get access to these resources.
First, if you are intimidated or confused about how to create videos, there's a cool, easy and FREE tool you can use to create videos from the pictures in your Facebook albums. In the post I share five ways you can use this for your business.
CLICK => Easy Video Creation on Facebook [cool tool alert!]
Second, if you have a business page on Facebook, then no doubt you know the format is changing to the Timeline style at the end of the month. This means you need to be more strategic about creating the big bill-board style cover image and the small app images for your page. I've compiled a list of about 50 designers who create timeline covers, as well as links to some articles about the specifics you need to know so you don't run afoul of Facebook.

Mr. Jerry Parker
Mr. Jerry Parker, age 70, was cremated per his request; a memorial service will be held at a later date.
"Greyeagle" was his Native American name from birth, meaning a chief of the bird clan of Eastern Cherokee nation. He was born somewhere near Seminole, FL, and lived his life in FL, GA, and New Mexico.
He was married several times and is survived by nine loving children. His firstborn son, Keith, his first daughter, Kimberly, Jerry Dean Jr., Colleen, Sherry, Jeanie, Angie, Aaron, and Sean. He was deeply loved by all of them and he loved us all. He once stated, "I have had a good life, no regrets," and he wasn't afraid of death. He didn't say goodbye; he just crossed over to a better place with His Lord, and the Great Spirit. Now he can truly run, jump, and dance on the streets of gold, no more pain to endure. As I, Kimmy, write this I can hear him say, "Live life to its fullest. Laugh a lot, and never forget to love. When you think of me, smile, and know I am with you always and forever."
Final arrangements have been entrusted to Sellers-Smith Funeral Home, Inc.

MLS: Luis Gil starts atop Real Salt Lake's diamond midfield
Santa Clara, Calif. • He's viewed as the eventual replacement, and on Saturday night, Luis Gil got another shot to show how he does atop the Real Salt Lake midfield attack. The highly touted 20-year-old started in place of RSL star Javier Morales against the San Jose Earthquakes due to a back injury Morales picked up in the season-opening 1-0 win at L.A. on March 8.
Gil, who has stamped his current starting spot on the outside in RSL's midfield, has notched several starts in the Morales attacking role. Now in his fifth year with the club, Gil has started 30 matches atop the diamond across all competitions. He started there 10 times in 2013, 11 times in 2012 and nine times in 2011.
With Morales out against San Jose and Gil moved around the midfield, rookie Luke Mulholland made his first career start in Major League Soccer. Mulholland came on as a sub in the 1-0 win at L.A. last week and scored a goal in the 75th minute, but it was whistled offside. However, in stoppage time Saturday night, the rookie made sure that wouldn't happen. He ran onto a save by San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch and buried it to give RSL a 3-1 halftime lead.
Plata platter
Joao Plata had a stellar preseason, both in California and Arizona in the six weeks leading up to the start of the 2014 season. It's certainly paid off.
The 22-year-old forward scored in the first half of RSL's match at San Jose Saturday night, a week after scoring the game-winner against the Galaxy. The 5-foot-2 speedster has looked threatening throughout the start of the season, using his combination of speed and skill to punish back lines.
Familiar faces
Four days after being signed by one of his former teams, Khari Stephenson appeared in the active 18-man roster for San Jose coach Mark Watson. The former San Jose midfielder played with RSL in 2013 appearing in 25 matches across all competitions, starting in 12. Former RSL forward Atiba Harris started against his former side. In two seasons with RSL, Harris appeared in 45 matches, starting 26.

Bransdon still ahead at Heritage
BY PGA of Australia | Australasian PGA Tour | 2013 Lexus of Blackburn Heritage Classic | Round Two | 25 Jan 2013
Dave Bransdon continues to lead the Lexus of Blackburn Heritage Classic at the Heritage Golf and Country Club in Victoria after consolidating his opening round of 64 with a round of 68 to be at 12 under and three ahead of fellow Victorian Brad Hughes
"The game is in pretty good shape and I am putting well so, it was a nice solid round," said Bransdon.
"I didn't hit it as good as yesterday but 4-under is never a bad score."
Bransdon believes the secret to his past two rounds has been an improved putting stroke.
"I have always considered myself a good ball striker but the putting has been my Achilles heel.
"I saw Phil Hodge up at Coolum, he said that I needed an overhaul so we spent an hour or so on the putting green – I'm still doing what he said and its working."
Despite his solid lead, Bransdon isn't getting ahead of himself with plenty of golf still to be played.
"I am just going to go and play – its sounds a bit boring but I can't control what anyone else does, so I'll just play and see what happens. As soon as you start looking ahead, that's when bad shots come in, because you're not focusing totally on what you want to do at the time.
"You have a job to do out there with each shot and that's what I am going to do."
Bradley Hughes had another good round, posting a 4-under 68 to be outright second on 9-under the card while a further shot back are New Zealander Gareth Paddison and Victorian Leigh Deagan who each fired 5-under 67 today.
Shooting the score of the day, a 6-under 66, was Matthew Griffin and Matthew Millar moving them into the top-10 of the leaderboard. While Leigh McKechnie also shot 6-under the card to make the cut on the number.
The cut was made at 1-under the card with 54 Professionals and two amateurs through to the weekend rounds.
Notables to have missed the cut include Australian PGA Champion Daniel Popovic, Andre Stolz and Craig Parry.
Play gets underway in the third round at 8.40am tomorrow morning with the leaders out at 10.15am

Feel free to make offers on bundled items or whatever.PLEASE DO NOT PM MEInstead, send email directly to sns426 AT gmail DOT com. Thanks!IMPORTANT NOTE:All of the items listed in this post are pictured here:http://tiny.cc/53tcow1) VivoBarefoot Ultra modular barefoot shoes - $30 (reduced from $40)Men's size 43 (corresponds to a US 9 or 9.5). These are barely used, just worn out on the sidewalk for a few days. I got these because of their lightweight and novelty -- the main shoe component is entirely EVA, under 4oz, basically like a Croc that has been reworked for barefoot running mechanics. The other two components are a lightweight cloth 'tongue' and a complete mesh/synthetic sock liner, which honestly could function as as a superlight shoe of its own.Intended to maybe bring these along as water-crossing and in-camp shoes, but they're just a little too big on me.Note this item is NOT the 'Ultra Pure' shoe, which is sold for $50. That item is only the EVA component noted above. The complete Ultra shoe being sold here retails for $80.2) Caldera Keg F system - sold3) Mountain Laurel Designs Body Bag - sold4) Cocoon ripstop silk mummy liner - sold5) Big Agnes Clearview sleeping pad - sold6) DriDucks Ultralight Poncho - sold6) BPL Folding Ti Spork - sold
Edited by freeradical on 12/01/2012 11:04:48 MST.
I'll take the Cocoon Silk liner and the BPL Folding Spork if they're still available.
Hey Kevin,They're yours if you want em! Just send me an email per the OP, and we can get down to it. Thanks.
2nd in line for the spork. Been trying to score one for a while! agh!Edit: Oh since it is a bundled item then I will take the driducks along with it if the other buyer doesn't buy the spork.
Edited by Superfluous_Grizzly on 11/25/2012 19:30:35 MST.
Offers pending on the Body Bag, silk liner, spork, and driducks poncho.Jim, need to hear back from you. Kevin, need to hear back from you too -- else Dan gets to cut in line :-)
I would very very much like to be in line for the MLD Body Bag!!!
Sorry John!Body Bag has been sold to Jim.If I'd known everybody was going to be chomping for it, maybe I would have priced it higher to start with :-)
@Ian,Having the item meant more than the price - but I understand what you are getting at ;)Oh Jim... you know you want to send that to me after you get done playing with it, right :-D
Still waiting for some people to respond on this ...
Has the liner sold? I am interested if it has not. Is it the regular or long length?ThanksEvan
Perhaps this is a naive question, but what is a MLD body bag.
Jonathan,The Body Bag was a nylon liner, or perhaps more like a minimalist bivy, that was produced for a short time by MLD. It was about 4oz and was intended to replace a sleeping bag down to about 50*.As for everything else -- payment is pending from Kevin on the spork and liner. I'll get back to everyone else that has expressed interest and/or update the OP later tonight.
Hey people,Body Bag has been sold to Jim Draucker, and Spork + Cocoon Liner were sold to Kevin Garrison. If you'd like to get your hands on those items, please heckle those people :-)Everything else is still for sale! Take your best shot.
Prices have been dropped!
Clearview sold to Mike.Everything else has been updated. Check OP for increasingly aggressive price drops. Buy something!
Caldera and DriDucks sold to Jason. Only the Vivobarefoot Ultras remain, and I may just move those to a new batch sell later on. Let me know if you want 'em though!

Serves 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 2 hours (plus overnight marinating time)
* Yellow rock sugar is available from Asian grocery stores. Palm sugar can be used as a substitute.
Intensify stock by char-grilling ginger, and try cassia (from Asian grocery stores) instead of cinnamon.
Combine the beef, wine, dark soy sauce, onion, garlic, orange peel, ginger, star anise and cinnamon in a glass or ceramic bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge overnight to marinate.
Transfer the beef mixture to a large wok or saucepan. Add the chicken consommé, light soy sauce and sugar. Place over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 2 hours or until beef is tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a large bowl. Use 2 forks to coarsely shred the beef. Return the beef to the soup with the choy sum. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, place the rice noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and set aside for 5 minutes to soak. Drain well.
Divide the noodles among serving bowls. Ladle over the soup. Top with green onions and coriander leaves. Serve immediately.

Drink Up! The Rebirth of The Speakeasy
Wednesday, June 03, 2009
Glamorized in the movies, the 1920s were a gala time of flappers, jazz, and the eighteenth amendment. The so-called Noble Experiment of Prohibition created a culture of subterranean speakeasies where people could illicitly imbibe. But according to New York Times writer William Grimes, the atmosphere may have been lively, but the drinks were lousy. That hasn't stopped a new interest in underground cocktail lounges from popping up across the country. From Bourbon and Branch in San Francisco to Milk & Honey in New York, there's a speakeasy renaissance going on. And this time, the drinks are good. William Grimes joins The Takeaway with a look at the past, present, and future of speakeasies.
Read William Grimes' article in today's New York Times on the new speakeasy: Bar? What Bar?

text: Whenever I get really high, and often times when I'm toking alone I always start analyzing my thoughts. Like I'll start thinking of why I think a certain way, and what kind of thought process is unique to me. Even though it sounds kind of dumb, I feel like I sort of understand myself better because of it haha. Also I try thinking of how other people might think, through my observations of how they act. To me it's really interesting because it's a recurring "high topic" that I love thinking about. I was wondrering if anyone else has this when baked, or if I'm just crazy.

In addition to making the yard look nicer, the boxes are keeping the pony next door on his side of the fence.

It doesnt take much to get me all riled up. Outrage is an emotion I experience almost as often as exhaustion, and I have two kids under the age of 4, so you do the math.
I have this uncanny ability to get all Incredible Hulk-like as a result of tremendously insignificant events, like when someone doesnt give me the thanks wave when I kindly take .04 seconds out of my schedule to motion them permission to drive in front of me into a line of traffic. I mean, is it so hard to flip your hand up as a gesture of appreciation after I have put your need to get somewhere literally in front of mine?
Or when shoppers in the narrow aisles of the supermarket absentmindedly leave their carts unattended for .07 seconds, thereby blocking my path as they study condiments or jarred pasta sauces elsewhere and almost always when I am already late for something on my aforementioned schedule
(The point is that I have a schedule, people. Please mind and respect the schedule.)
So youd think Id be the first to jump on the outrage bandwagon when I learn of even more outrageous transgressions. And yet almost daily I seem to read a story where other people are outraged about topics that leave me feeling not only indifferent, but amused and irked simultaneously that there are those who clearly have nothing better happening in their schedule that they have time to get worked up about non-outrageous events.
Take, for instance, a story that held steady on the front page of the Internet for most of last week: The baby bikini onesie an infant bodysuit like a T-shirt that snaps at the crotch, which is printed on the front with the image of a midsection that looks as if it belongs on a grown woman who is wearing nothing more than a kinda-sorta, but not really at all revealing red polka dot bikini that is apparently on sale at some department store in Mississippi.
Vulgar, inappropriate and lock up your daughters were some of the outraged reactions in various publications to the novelty onesie. But when there exists other onesies with things like Hung like Daddy and Im with the MILF printed on them, I find it difficult to get worked up over a cartoon image even less racy than the granny panties made popular by dowdy housewives in the 1950s.
There was also the article in The New York Times last month about how tween and teen girls heading off to summer camp these days get waxed (legs, underarms, bikini, eyebrow, lip) for the occasion, which resulted in an endless barrage of bickering and commentary in major and minor news outlets about the right age for girls to start waxing which I think most would agree would be the age when theres something to wax. Or, I would have thought, anyway. (The consensus on the right age, on average, seemed to be roughly the night before a girls wedding.)
Earlier this spring the outrage du jour was the breast-feeding mom on the cover of Time magazine. Most of those outraged seemed to be the same ones who are outraged when others are outraged about women who breastfeed in public. So that their outrage was due in part to a woman breastfeeding too publicly was slightly outrageous and definitely hilarious. (Yes, the other part of the outrage with the Time cover had to do with the fact that the young boy drinking his moms milk was made to look like he was man enough to make a boy of his own. But still.)
Other outrageously non-outrageous recent news items? Katie Holmes files for divorce from Tom Cruise! (Alternate headline: Katie Homes terminates marriage contract sooner than Vegas oddsmakers predicted!) and Katie Perrys film tanks at the weekend box office (Alternative headline: Moviegoers to Hollywood: Who?) and Jessica Simpson still hasnt lost her baby weight! (Alternative headline: Is that what were calling her chins this month?).
There is a distinct possibility, however, that perhaps lately Im just getting less green like David Banner and more soft and giggly like the Pillsbury Doughboy. I recently ordered some outdoor furniture and when, after 10 days, an e-mail with the shipping information still hadnt arrived, they finally told me on the phone they didnt actually have the furniture and outrageously, hadnt really planned on letting me know.
Im sure you can understand my frustration, I said with a remarkable amount of non-outrage to the customer service representative with whom I spoke.
Maam, she replied, my heart goes out to you. I know what its like to take the time to really find what you want, and then order and wait to enjoy it with your family, and then it doesnt come, and that kind of disappointment can keep you up at night. I understand. I really do, so please accept my deepest sympathies as well as my apology.
But the thing is, she had it all wrong. After all, its just patio furniture. My family only wanted something to sit on outside while the weather is still warm, and those days are fast becoming numbered.
In other words, its all about my schedule.

A Jamaica site where a fatal shooting occurred more than three years ago will soon be renamed "Sean Bell Way," after the City Council voted overwhelmingly – but not unanimously – to name the street after Bell.
On Monday, December 21, the City Council voted 41 to 7 with two members abstaining to rename a three-block stretch starting at 94th Avenue on Liverpool Street after Bell, who was shot and killed by police after they fired 50 shots outside the Kalua nightclub in Jamaica in November of 2006 – the night before his wedding. Bell was unarmed at the time, but police officers said they believed one of his friends had a gun on him, and when the car Bell was in came careening towards the undercover officers they opened fire. A Queens judge acquitted the police officers of murder charges in April 2008.
City Councilmember Leroy Comrie, who was one of the sponsors of the legislation, talked about the attention to and reforms in police/community relations that came about as a result of the incident. Comrie, who represents southeast Queens, said that Bell's family was pleased with the decision, but it was not something they originally pushed for.
"It was something that the community wanted to see for them," Comrie told The Courier. "They would prefer to have Sean Bell alive."
Although the Council approved the legislation, which was grouped in with about 60 other street renamings throughout the city, not everyone was happy with the decision.
Queens City Councilmember Peter Vallone Jr., who is the chair of the Council's Public Safety Committee, said that Bell and the people in the car made a lifetime of mistakes, including many that night, and although working to make improvements after a tragic accident is one thing, renaming a street after someone is another thing.
"Anyone who believes that this does not send an anti-police message is wearing blinders," Vallone told The Courier.
In addition to renaming the street for Bell, the City Council also voted to rename a Floral Park Street after Ghanwatti Boodram, who was killed after a gas explosion leveled her house in April 2008. Ghanwatti's husband, Dindial Boodram, and his three sons all dressed in suits and wore buttons commemorating Ghanwatti, at the Council hearing on Monday.
"It was bittersweet for me, because at this holiday season it was like a Christmas gift for me," said Dindial, who said it also reminded him that his wife was no longer here. "But it was great that in her honor they did something like that."

It all started about 2 weeks ago when I began having a strange feeling somewhere on the left side below the ribcage,it felt like a sprain muscle or some sort of obstruction. This feeling kept becoming very annoying and uncomfortable in the folowing days...There was no pain, but just irritating discomfort. Shortly after that I started having problems emptying my intestine. I'd know for sure I'm full, but barely anythin would come out and I've even almost lost the urges...A week later I went to the proctologist, thinking something for sure must be obstructing there, well to my surprise - he looked 20 cm deep and found nothing. A few days later this problem wouldn't go away so I had gotten scared thinking it could be one of the organs failing, so I called an ambulance and tried to exaggerate it a bit so they'd take me to the hospital, I told them that I have a lot of pain and have been constipated for a week.The surgeon pressed my abdomen and said it's probably just irritable bowel syndrom from stress or bad eating habits. So finally I went to gaestroentorologist where she confirmed it and iagnosed me with IBS! Yeah I have been stressed out for some time and don't lead the healthiest lifestyle lifestyle because I work from home, so I sit alot.. but I just don't believe it's that simple. Having asked if I should maybe do colonoscopy she said -it's unnecessary and should get fixed on its own soon..but it's been 2 more weeks and I still can't 'release' everything completely. I've taken everything that was prescribed: a light laxative syrop and some drug called dicetel, and I've not noticed any improvement at all. I also try to eat more fruits and veggies. Yet it's still the same, I'm full, it doesn't hurt, but the feeling of a stretched muscle is still there and every time I try to push the stuff out - it feels like the bowel is finally doing it but then only a small piece would barely comes out and that's it, I have no more urges and the rest just stays in. It's really annoying, frustrating and overall not a good feeling. I just don't understand what's happening... T I haven't done colonoscopy yet it's because it's quite expensive (I'm not in the US) and the doctor said they probably wouldn't find anything. Ive also tried to check with my finger in there (gross I know), and it felt like there's some abnormal mass, it's not the feces, It felt more like a polyp...but I could be wrong because then - how come the proctologist didn't see it? And why does it feel obstructed way higher in the abdomen, while this thing feels quite near the exit... I'm just taking wild guesses now, please someone provide an advice...Thank you.View Thread

When I was a kid, I was terrified of farting in class. At home, it was no big deal: it was a daily fart festival with my family. But at school? TOTAL FEAR OF FLATULENCE. But then it dawned on me: EVERYBODY FARTS. And that's one of the reasons why I've decided to write a graphic novel about how our bodies work. It's about all the stuff that goes on inside our bodies daily, or throughout our lives, and that this stuff – whether it's digestion, or respiration, or defecation – is necessary for us to live. And it gives you excellent come-back material if anyone teases you for farting in school!

JAZZ NOTES: Kirilenko doesn't back up remarks
HOUSTON - Andrei Kirilenko isn't going to have much of an argument, if he keeps this up.
One day after tearily complaining about his minimal role in the Jazz's loss to the Houston Rockets in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series, the former All-Star forward did little to justify his desire in a 98-90 loss in Game 2 at the Toyota Center on Monday night.
"I didn't do the job," he acknowledged.
Not even close.
Kirilenko did not score in 17 minutes - he seemed to force all three of his shots - and managed three rebounds and two blocks while committing five fouls and two turnovers. All that, hours after returning to his usual bright-eyed and smiling self at the pregame shootaround and essentially apologizing for causing a distraction with his emotional meltdown after practice Sunday.
He made statements that "I don't think I should have made," Kirilenko said. "I don't think it's good for the team."
But when he was back on the court, nothing seemed to change.
Kirilenko could not seem to find a rhythm in the offense, and seldom seemed to have much effect on defense. He did have a couple of bad bounces deny him opportunities to make a few more plays, but the end result was still disappointing.
"It's frustrating to lose a game," he said. "I think that's the most important thing. I think I didn't do my job. I didn't help the team."
What has happened?
"I don't know," he said. "I don't know. It's just tough to explain. I just . . . I don't want to talk about it."
Coach Jerry Sloan and Kirilenko both said they did not speak to each other much about the incident, and Sloan still started Kirilenko in his usual place in Game 2 - though he acknowledged that "I probably haven't gotten him in a position where he's as comfortable as he would like to be."
Many of his teammates offered Kirilenko words of encouragement.
"Sometimes, you have to get some things out," Boozer said. "He got what he had to get out, and now he's ready to move forward and he's ready to play. I went up to him on the bus and told him, 'Look, man, you're our X-factor. We need you. We need you more than anybody.' He basically said thank you. I told him I loved him . . . we just basically pumped him up and told him that, 'This team can be great with you.' "
Asked if the Jazz can beat the Rockets without a greater contribution from Kirilenko, Boozer hesitated a moment.
"I don't think so," he said.

Lung cancer - chemotherapy treatment
Treatment for lung cancer depends on the type of cancer and the stage of the disease. Chemotherapy is a form of treatment for lung cancer which may cure, shrink or keep the cancer from spreading.

#TCPalmSocial's top picks for fun things to do this weekend
As the summer winds down so does the event calendar on the Treasure Coast. There's a couple of interesting things happening around town, but the best show this weekend might be a celestial one. If you are into shooting stars, the Perseid meteor shower is this weekend, and the waxing moon means it will be a nice dark backdrop for the traveling fireballs. Forecasters say you could see more than 100 meteors an hour. For best viewing, it has to be clear skies and try to get away from lit areas. Look halfway up to the northeastern sky. Best viewing is from 11 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. the nights of Aug. 11-13. Be patient. It will be worth it.

Women who take stress reduction classes are better able to cope with some symptoms of menopause.
Researchers enrolled 110 women who were experiencing hot flashes in a weekly class that included training in meditation, mental body scanning and stretching exercises.
Three months later, women who took the class were less bothered by their hot flashes -- compared to those who were on the waiting list for the class.
They also reported less stress, better sleep, and overall improvement in their quality of life.

Why we make music...
"Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing him more than yourself, or any other creature." --John Wesley (the founding father of Methodism)
We are servants who strive only to bring glory to God by refining and honing our musical skills. We seek to give God our best in order to draw ourselves and others deeper into worship and closer in relationship with Jesus Christ. Within the Music Ministry, we strive to keep this directive at the center of all we do.

Even people in their 30s (like me) know the name R.L. Stine. He's been writing children's books in the horror genre for as long as I can remember (since the early '90s). Really good ones too. His most recognizable series by far is the Goosebumps line of books. It's not a singular narrative, but rather a series of genre tales designed to frighten children without scarring them forever with gruesome imagery and overly adult situations.
Goosebumps was turned into a TV series in the mid-'90s, but it hasn't ever made the leap into film... yet. Columbia is producing a live-action feature adaptation with Scholastic Entertainment and Neal Moritz, and now they've found a screenwriter: Carl Ellsworth, who is perhaps best known for his work on "Disturbia." He also penned "Red Eye," the still-unreleased "Red Dawn" remake and the remake of Wes Craven's "The Last House on the Left." The book he's adapting remains to be seen, but with the rash of smart horror we've seen/will be seeing this year ("The Last Exorcism," "Let Me In," "Frozen," "The Crazies"), it's encouraging to see a talented guy like Ellsworth taking on a project like this, where walking a fine line between horror/suspense and kid-friendly appeal will be required.

Carl Davis
(1936 - )
A consummate all-round musician, Carl Davis is widely known internationally in many spheres of music-making. Born in New York in 1936, he studied composition with Paul Nordoff and Hugo Kauder, and subsequently with Per Nørgaard in Copenhagen. His early work in the USA provided valuable conducting experience with organizations such as New York City Opera and the Robert Shaw Chorale. In 1959 the revue Diversions, of which he was co-author, won an off-Broadway Emmy and subsequently travelled to the 1961 Edinburgh Festival. As a direct result of its success there, Davis was commissioned by Ned Sherrin to write music for That Was The Week That Was. Other radio and TV commissions followed and Davis's UK career was launched.
Since then he has been enormously successful in the world of theatre, composing scores for the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre, and working closely with artists of the calibre of Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Joan Littlewood, Jonathan Miller, John Wells, Barry Humphries and Billy Connolly.
Davis is equally well-known in the field of dance, working with the major choreographers of the day. His first assignment began with London Contemporary Dance Theatre, for whom he produced music for David and Goliath (1975) and Dances of Love and Death (1981). Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet commissioned A Picture of Dorian Gray in 1987, and this was followed by commissions from Northern Ballet Theatre - the award-winning A Simple Man (1988) and Lippizaner (1989) both with Gillian Lynne, Liaisons Amoureuses (1989); A Christmas Carol (1992). Aladdin (2000), with Robert Cohen, was written for Scottish Ballet, and later taken up by David Bintley for Tokyo's New National Ballet in 2008. His association with Derek Deane has led to a full-length ballet, Alice in Wonderland (1995) commissioned by the English National Ballet and based on themes by Tchaikovsky, and later The Lady of the Camellias (2008), which was commissioned by the National Ballet of Croatia. A full-length ballet commissioned by David Bintley for Birmingham's Royal Ballet resulted in Cyrano (2007).
Davis's output for film and television is vast, including The World At War, The Snow Goose, Hotel du Lac, Hollywood, The Naked Civil Servant, Silas Marner, Champions, Scandal, The Commanding Sea, Oppenheimer, The Rainbow, The French Lieutenant's Woman (the winner of both the BAFTA and Ivor Novello awards). Pride and Prejudice (nominated for a BASCA Ivor Novello award for Best Music for a Television Production in 1996) has been one of his best-loved scores and this was followed by Cranford in 2007, also for the BBC. Music for silent films has been an enduring strand of Davis's activities: a project to revive the Chaplin films has focussed on 'The Mutuals' - a cycle of 12 films all with original Davis music. His 1980 score for Abel Gance's Napoleon triggered an extraordinary revival of interest in the silent film, and Davis's oeuvre of more than fifty scores for this medium, including Flesh and the Devil, Ben-Hur, The Thief of Bagdad, Greed, Intolerance, Safety Last and The General, has brought him international acclaim. The Phantom of the Opera was the first silent film to be performed at the Royal Opera House (2006), and was conducted by the composer.
Throughout his career Carl Davis has composed concert works, among which a Clarinet Concerto, Fantasy for Flute, Strings and Harpsichord, Symphony and Ballade for cello and orchestra are particularly notable. His symphonic work, A Circle of Stones, consists of four symphonic pictures for orchestra and was written for Mike Mansfield Publications for broadcast on S4C in 1997. In 2012 The Last Train to Tomorrow – a dramatic narrative for children's choir, actors and orchestra, based on the story of the Kindertransport – was premiered by the Hallé Orchestra and Children's Choir to great acclaim.
There are also many concert suites derived from film scores, vocal music, choral works, instrumental and chamber music, and opera. In 1991 his first collaboration with Paul McCartney produced Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio, now being performed in many countries throughout the world. The EMI recording of the work has achieved record sales world-wide, whilst the BBC documentary and EMI's commercial video have done much to publicize this new departure for both composers.

Some of the globe's leading players have already been sounded out about featuring for a World XI in the bid to return Test and one-day international cricket to Pakistan within the next 12 months. England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Giles Clarke, the head of the International Cricket Council's Pakistan task team, boldly went public with his commitment to the invitational series in August. However, England's players will naturally have reservations about such a venture following the spot-fixing saga and match-fixing slurs against them – the latter later withdrawn by Pakistan's Ijaz Butt – which plunged on-field relations between the countries to a new low. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's leading men will understandably be reluctant about returning, having come under fire from gunmen in Lahore in March 2009. That was the last month in which Pakistan hosted international action and despite Clarke's commendable comradeship and determination that terrorism should not be the victor, persuading others to get on board might be his toughest challenge in cricket administration yet.
England coach Andy Flower might get a shock when he gets around to reading his recently-purchased copy of The Last Resort, a personal account of the social breakdown and struggle for survival in Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe's tumultuous regime. Not at the harrowing accounts of life in his homeland but the assertion by author Douglas Rogers – they were team-mates at provincial age group levels – that he was the superior cricketer when they flew over to Britain for club stints in 1987. Having witnessed several Rogers innings for Birmingham League club Water Orton, I can vouch for his quality. Let's just say he is a fine writer and journalist. Flower, meanwhile, went on to average 51.54 in a 63-Test career.
Great to see prominent Irishmen at the forefront of Irish cricket once more. Thankfully the International Cricket Council made the correct decision in verifying Ed Joyce's availability for February's World Cup – after he revoked his eligibility for England – while the Morgan family are also giving something back to Cricket Ireland. Not Ashes squad member Eoin but his father Jody, who has been named as the inaugural president of the newly-formed Connacht Cricket Union, the fifth Irish province to commit to the sport and one famed for its Gaelic games. Morgan junior, of course, owes his propeller wrists to his formative years on the curling field.
The Performance Programme squad head Down Under this week with one notable absentee from last winter's intake dispatched to South Africa. Yorkshire batsman Joe Sayers' health has not been the same since contracting a severe bout of food poisoning in Pretoria last December. But thankfully the 27-year-old is returning to health following the disabling effects of Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome – recuperation aided by a 10-day honeymoon in Mauritius with wife Lisa last month. October was a cause for double celebration, in fact, with the likeable Sayers signing a new two-year deal at Headingley. Even at this early stage, however, he is unlikely to be fit for the start of the 2011 season.

Ohio Wesleyan Hires Learning Disabilities Specialist
August 24, 2006
DELAWARE, OHIO — Lydia Block, Ph.D., was recently hired as full-time learning disabilities specialist at Ohio Wesleyan University. All learning disabilities services that were previously provided by the university are consolidated under Block's direction. "National trends demonstrate that more students than ever are entering college with diagnosed learning differences for which students receive support while in high school," said Margaret Drugovich, vice president for strategic communications and university enrollment at OWU. "Dr. Block provides these students an important resource as they adapt to the demands of Ohio Wesleyan's changing curriculum." Since 1995, Block has served as a consultant to colleges and universities, high schools, and families and students with learning disabilities and ADD. She has worked with colleges to establish and evaluate programs and determine eligibility of students for services. Prior to her consultant work, Block developed and directed services for students with learning disabilities at The Ohio State University. She publishes The PostSecondary LD Report, a newsletter written for guidance counselors, teachers, parents and students with learning disabilities about transition issues and the college search process.
Block is also co-founder of the Transition and Communication Consortium on Learning Disabilities in Ohio, which works to promote communication between secondary and post secondary educators who work with students with learning disabilities. She serves on the Professional Advisory Board of the Learning Disabilities Association of America, and has also served on the board of directors of The Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) as the director of professional development and as AHEAD's representative to the National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities.

i have been on 7 dates with this wonderful little lady in the
Customer Question
i have been on 7 dates with this wonderful little lady in the past, then she went out of state because of the military and i didnt hear from her for 3 weeks. we didnt really get past a hug hello and goodbye, but always had a good time. after we started talking again about two months later (where im currently at) i asked her out again and she said yes enthusiastically. our date tonight was a lot of fun, got stuck at the restaurant due to the staff ignoring us, and had a wonderful conversation for the little over two hours we were there, then we walked around the town, got some ice cream since it was the only store open this late. we walked back to my truck and i drove her the 50 minutes to her home. now when we were waiting for our table there were a ton of other people there so i sat really close to her for the first time to where our arms were touching and she didnt mind. then at the table while waiting for the bill for 45 mins i tried to invite her to my side of the table to see the pictures of my hike that i went on, but either she didnt hear me or denied me. then after dinner we walked off our meal then got ice cream, and sat very close to eachother due to the design of the bench. our legs and arms were touching. after driving her home we sat outside her house talking for about 5 minutes and then we shared a longer than usual hug and went our seperate ways. now im not the kinda guy who is on the hunt to get into a ladies pants. im dying to have a companion that wants to listen to my day, and spend time with me, and end my lonliness. but i feel like that my fear of making a move is hurting my chances with her. ive been noticing it seems like she is the kinda lady who likes the guy to make 100% of the moves. which for being the first girl ive actually dated its not good for me. am i screwing this up? she mentioned tonight that her friends called her out for being on a date as a joke and they new she was with me somehow, so that leads me to belive she talks about me a little with them. what was weird was they new my truck without really ever seeing it, and i drive a 45 year old truck. so they have somehow seen my truck too. am i messing up, doing ok, or over reacting? thank you and im soory for the long windedness of this. im an engineer not a writer.

Seeking expert testimony is a sign of strength. A personal relationship with a caring professional is proven clinically effective.
Dear friend,
I believe that I can help with your situation.
I just read your very endearing question and concluded that you are just the kind of a guy that a decent girl like her is looking for.
She was impressed enought with you to brag to her friends about you.
She doesn't want to lose face or make you think she is too forward, so it is up to YOU to make the first moves.
Trust me, if she was not comfortable with your arm touching hers sjhe would have adjusted her position. Electricity moves in two directions.
You were not long-winded but just covering all the relevant details (like an engineer).
Those longer than usual hugs are noticed by both parties. If you were aware, then so was she, and neither resisted.
You revealed something very important, in a very eloquent way. You said that you are dying to have a companion that wants to listen to your day, and spend time with you, and end your loneliness.
Tell her that. Take a chance and make yourself vulnerable. If she likes you, this will melt her heart because she will believe you - and that is because she can probably tell that you are not a player.
Tell her you feel a close connection with her and she has a magical effect on you.
This is true. You clearly have shown and stated it.
You have nothing to lose. Find the right moment and setting, perhaps where another hug or even a kiss can ensue.
If you let this stagnate it will die on the vine. Keep it moving gracefully and with honesty and warm regard.
It sounds to me that this story is just unfolding.
I wish you great success and shall keep you in my prayers.
Warm regards,
Elliott, MAE, LPCC MCC, CCMHC

Nine residents have indicated that they will run for the Mountain View City Council this fall, and the official filing period hasn't even opened yet.
After serving eight years on the council, Jac Siegel, Ronit Bryant and Margaret-Abe-Koga will step down due to term limits in December. The election may bring a significant shift on housing policies as the trio was elected during a time when many residents were protesting new housing developments in their neighborhoods, and the three members have often opposed housing development during their terms, including a plan for 1,100 units for Google employees in North Bayshore. As council members noted last week, public opinion has shifted toward a growing concern about gentrification and a lack of housing for the city's rapidly expanding workforce.
In recent weeks three residents have said they'll join the race: longtime county official Ellen Kamei, attorney Mercedes Salem, and bike and pedestrian committee member Greg Unangst, who has spoken in favor of more housing growth in the city.
The filing period for council candidates to officially join the race begins July 14 and ends Aug. 13, which includes the five-day extension for open seats with no incumbent running.
Those who previously declared an intent to run include planning commissioners Helen Wolter and Lisa Matichak, human relations commissioner Ken Rosenberg, and former planning commissioner Patricia Showalter. IT administrator James Neal and environmental planning commissioner Margaret Capriles said they will run again after coming up short in the 2012 council election.

DUI crackdown
Santa Clara County's Avoid the 13 DUI Task Force and the California Highway Patrol announced plans to crack down on drunken driving over the Fourth of July weekend.
The task force will assign so-called "DUI roving saturation patrols" to Mountain View on Saturday, July 5. In addition, the CHP plans to deploy all available officers to every freeway, county road and unincorporated road in the county from 6 p.m. Thursday, July 3, to 12 a.m. Monday, July 7.
"This Fourth of July holiday, you can show your patriotism by helping to make the roads of Santa Clara County safer for everyone," said Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith. "For everyone's sake, don't drink and drive or you will be targeted for arrest."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 10,000 people died nationwide in drunken-driving crashes in 2012, accounting for roughly a third of all driving-related deaths. Over the course of the Fourth of July weekend in 2012, 78 people died in alcohol-related crashes — around 44 percent of crash fatalities during that period.
According to statistics from the FBI, over 1.28 million drivers were arrested in 2012 for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It is against the law to drive with a blood alcohol concentration above 0.08 in California.

NASA Ames 'Living Museum'
The NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field will celebrate its 75th anniversary this year with a 17-piece "living museum." In partnership with the cities of Mountain View and Sunnyvale, NASA Ames will put 17 exhibits on display throughout both cities to show off engineering and scientific endeavors from the past and present at the research center.
The original aeronautics laboratory was built at Moffett Field in 1939. Named after Joseph Ames, an architect of aeronautical science, the research lab will turn 75 on Dec. 20 this year.
The living museum will include CheMin, a chemistry and mineralogy instrument that was used on the Mars rover "Curiosity" to analyze soil samples and look for signs of life, according to a NASA Ames website. The instrument won an award for Invention of the Year in 2013, and will be on display at the Odd Fellows Hall in Mountain View.
There will also be a robotic aircraft exhibit at the Tied House and test models of components for a new Space Launch System and crew capsule at the Dana Street Roasting Co. Other locations include Mountain View City Hall, Red Rock Cafe and Yoga Belly.
The living museum runs the entire month of July and will be accessible during business hours. A map of all the locations can be found at www.nasa.gov/ames/75th-anniversary-living-museum/

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Autoimmune Diseases and RA
It might not seem that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has anything in common with type 1 diabetes or multiple sclerosis. But it does -- they're all autoimmune diseases. So what does that mean?
These conditions happen when your body attacks itself.
What Are Autoimmune Diseases?
Normally, your immune system acts like a loyal bodyguard with two main jobs:
- It helps find cancer cells and get rid of them.
- It protects you from outside invaders, like viruses or bacteria.
"When you have an infection like a cold or the flu, for example, the immune system launches a battle," says Virginia T. Ladd, president and executive director of the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA). This causes inflammation inside the body, and symptoms like watery eyes and a runny nose. It fights the germs to get rid of them. That's a great thing.
When you have an autoimmune disease a similar thing happens. But the results aren't so good. Something causes your immune system to mistake your own cells, tissues, or organs as the bad guys. So it fights them. With RA it attacks your joints and their lining, called synovium.
What Triggers Autoimmune Diseases?
That's still not clear. But researchers are making progress.
As with other life-long conditions like heart disease, it's probably not just one thing that causes these disorders. Many things work together to raise your risk, like your genes, environment, and lifestyle choices, says John A. Peyman, PhD, program officer in the autoimmunity branch of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
For starters, it seems that you can be more likely to get an autoimmune disease if other members of your family have one. Your parents can pass down genes that make it more likely.
One gene has been linked with most autoimmune diseases, Peyman says. It's called human leukocyte antigen (HLA).
"200 other genes contribute a tiny bit to the chance of getting RA," he says.
So what happens if you inherit one of the genes?
You may be more likely than the average person to get an autoimmune disorder. While another person might get an infection and get better, the same infection might trigger the inflammation inside your body that leads to the disease, Peyman says.
For example, researchers are studying super-tiny living things called microbes in your gut, mouth, and on your skin. They may work more closely with the immune system than people thought, Ladd says. If they're out of balance, it may trigger your immune system and make more inflammation.
Other possible triggers include pesticides and smoking, she says. Hormones also probably play a role, since autoimmune diseases are much more common in women than in men.

BrandiAtlanta, GeorgiaHairBlackThick or Coarse HairHorrible CleanupI have coarse facial hairs and this product removes the hair (mostly with one pass) every time. I find it affordable because going to the salon cost, if not the same price as this product, at least equal to 2 trips to the salon, and there is enough wax here for several months. My biggest problem with this Parissa Wax product is residue clean up on a surface other than your skin is 98% impossible. DO NOT get this on your floors, counter top, sink, or any other surface you don't want to scrub with a razor blade, and if you spill it on your clothes, might as well toss them. Honestly, I keep both this and moom. I use Parissa when I'm in a hurry (applying larger portions, knowing most likely I'll get all the hairs in one pass) and don't have time to re-pass, and when I'm prepared to be extra careful. I use Moom when I have more time to apply narrower applications to avoid re-passing, or because it's so gentle, I can take the time to re-pass if necessary. Both Parissa, and Moom of my favorite hair removal products and I've tried everything else that's out there, and I wouldn't trade them.7 out of 8 shoppers thought this review was helpful.
