Karla Spetic's Pastel Fall 2010 Collection Is Balenciaga Meets Burberry
A pastel palette seems to always be synonymous with all things saccharine-sweet, but Karla Spetic 's collection of dresses, sweaters, and skirts are spunky enough to delight even the hardest among us. Karla makes the soft shades work by blocking them with bolder, brighter colors, and using unconventional cuts and drapes for a more sophisticated, less WASP-y look (think the structure and color palette of Balenciaga with all the twisted, draped softness of Burberry). The strong emphasis on geometry, black accents, and illustrated girl motif channel the '80s in a good way, as if someone had taken all the Patrick Nagel-flavored living rooms of our childhoods and distilled them down to one sweet, potent spirit.

Show Yourself How Far You've Come
When I get stuck at a plateau, I try to find a new way to remind myself how far I've come and it inevitably helps me refocus and re-energize my efforts.

Accountability, rewards, and forgiveness
Keep yourself accountable but build in small rewards and forgive yourself for your mistakes. I find that tracking everything helps me lose weight, and scheduling in small rewards such as getting my hair or nails done, buying a luxury (such as nice lotion) or exercise outfit every five pounds or so keeps me motivated. Also, being honest with myself when I don't follow my nutrition plan and forgiving myself helps me get back on track faster and closer to my healthier me.

Creating Glassy Objects Using Layer Styles
posted by Matt Ward on Mar 25, 2010.
Have you ever wanted a really quick and simple way to apply a glassy effect to objects in Photoshop? In this tutorial, we will take a look at how to exactly that using a combination of different layer styles. It's fast, easy and widely replicable, so be sure to have a read of this one!
Layer styles are a hugely powerful feature in Photoshop, especially when you combine several different effects into a single design. In this brief tutorial, we will look at one example of how to use layer styles to apply a glassy effect to an object. For the sake of this tutorial, we'll be working with part of the Echo Enduring Media logo, but you can really use any kind of object that you want for this (though something with rounded edges tends to work a bit better). Here is a preview of our final design:
Achieving this effect is actually relatively simple, and we'll cover everything in just a few steps! So let's get started.
Step 1
First, begin by creating a new 500px by 500px document. Then, add a simple texture into the background. I will be using one of the grunge textures from my Mega Textures Pack.
Next, we are going to want to adjust the Global Light settings for the document, since these will have a strong effect on the our styles are rendered. Select Layer » Layer Styles &rqauo; Global Light. This will bring up a dialog box, which you should fill out as follows:
Step 2
Next, we need to create an object on which to apply our glassy style. I simply opened up my logo in Illustrator, selected the shape, copied it to the clipboard and then pasted it into my Photoshop document (as a Smart Object, of course).
After pasting your object into the document, reduce it's fill property all the way down to 0. This, of course, will make the object itself disappear, so I won't bother show you a screenshot of that!
Step 3
Okay, now we start applying styles. Making sure that you have your object layer selected, add a new Drop Shadow style. You can do this by either clicking on the layer styles button that to bottom of the layer palette, or by selecting Layer » Layer Styles &rqauo; Drop Shadow from the menu. Use the following settings.
The image should now look like this:
Step 4
Next, we want to add an Inner Shadow to create a bit of depth to the object. Set the properties for this style as follows:
Now our image looks like:
Step 5
To balance the Inner Shadow, we'll also add an Inner Glow, using properties as shown here:
This brings the full shape back into relief:
Step 6
A Gradient Overlay will help really bring out the shape of our object. We'll use a simple black and white gradient, with the opacity reduced, as in the following options:
Now the image looks like this:
Step 7
Next, we're going to add a Satin effect to create still a bit more depth on our object. Again, use the following properties.
The effect is pretty subtle, but the image should now look like this:
Step 8
The final step is to create some glossy reflections using the Bevel and Emboss style. This is where the Global Light settings will prove to be the most important. First, create the style with the following options:
Next, we're also going to slightly adjust the contour, which is an optional sub-property of the Bevel and Emboss style.
Final Image
After adding the Bevel and Emboss effect, our glossy and glassy effect is now complete, and looks something like this:
There are two things that I really like about this technique. First, once you figure it out, it's relatively simple and easy to create. Second, you can actually save it to your Styles palette for future use, and then easily apply it to all kinds of different shapes. For instance, here are a bunch of icons from Monochrome Symbols Icon Set – Part 2, available from MediaLoot:
Now, here are the same images with our textured background, the fill reduced to 0 the same style that we created applied to them:
Of course, you can play around with the settings to and get slightly different effects. If you save each one, you can end up with a really nice set of styles to add to your Photoshop arsenal. One thing to note, though, is that these kinds of styles are really dependent on the Global Light source. If you want to force the style to remain completely independent of this document-level property, just go into the style settings and uncheck the Global Light options. Then, whenever you apply the style, it will be applied with the same angle of lighting.
Also, remember that, because many of the options work in terms of a given number of pixels, almost all styles are size sensitive. If an object is too large or small, you can really lose the effect. Of course, you can also usually compensate for this by adjusting the settings within the styles accordingly!
So there you have it – a relatively simple Photoshop tutorial to help create some really cool glossy glass effects using layer styles on your objects. What do you guys think? Will this technique be useful to you? Do you have any other suggestions or ideas that you would like to add? Please do share!Post A Comment

FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) - For nearly five decades the Floyd County Rescue Squad has called one building home, but they say they have since outgrown that building.
Rescue squad members say through the generosity of others they are now able to begin work on a new headquarters.
It is hard to imagine now what the bare piece of land on Old Abbott's Creek Road will soon be.
"Monday when we pretty much broke ground here it was a very very historic day for our squad, and I think it will be for our county," said Floyd County Rescue Squad Captain Tim Cooley.
The Floyd County Rescue Squad's establishment came following a bus crash that killed 26 children and their driver more than 50 years ago. Since then they have been in the same building which they say they have outgrown.
"We've been blessed to have the tools, and the gear, and the equipment that we need. We just don't have a house for it," said Cooley.
That is exactly what they are doing, building a new home for the squad.
"There's some big plans to showcase this rescue squad basically, or more than anything i might say because of it's history," said Cooley.
Rescue squad members say some funding came from the state, but they say what really makes it possible are the people who are donating their time and energy to help get the project completed, beginning with the excavation work which is all being done at no cost.
"They're going to better our county. They're going to better our community. They're going to better our state. So I feel like we're obligated to help them. They do not get enough recognition for the stuff they do," said Randy Davis, Co-owner of Davis Brothers Construction. They donated all excavation equipment and labor.
The new building will have eight bays to house the squad's vehicles and swift water rescue boats and can be used as an emergency operations center during major disasters.
Squad members say the location is also key, as it puts them closer to US-23 which will give them quicker response times.
It is something they all say they are proud to be a part of.
"I'm wanting to see this go. I'm wanting to see it happen," said Davis.
They hope it will be a good way to remember the past while preparing for the future. The lobby of the building will be designed as a memorial for those killed in the bus crash.
"Dedicate it to those 26 children and that driver," said Cooley
It is expected to be completed by the end of this year.
The squad is also selling personalized bricks that will line the walls of the lobby. The proceeds from the bricks will go to the rescue squad. For more information on how to purchase one, you can call the rescue squad at (606) 886-8114.

Katy Perry has reportedly rejected her ex-husband Russell Brand's request to be edited out of her upcoming movie 'Part Of Me'.
The 'California Gurls' has wanted to show her true colours in the documentary, including her break-up with Russell but he's asked not to be featured in it.
Russell is "more than a little nervous" about featuring in it, reports the Chicago Sun-Times,and asked that she deletes any footage that was shot while they were married should not be included.
According to the reports, the request was denied. It's unlikely that any legal challenges would be granted in Russell's favour as he agreed to appear in it in the first instance, before they broke up, obviously. It's not that the footage would be too painful for him to watch them together, it's more that it might damage his public persona.
He's "worried that some of his more caustic rants may come off as making him look bad." Katy's new movie will show her growth from a gospel singer under the name of 'Katy Hudson' into the international (and sometimes slutty) star that she is today.
Early reports have suggested that Katy can be seen trying to resolve her problems in her marriage, which ended last year when the British comedian filed for divorce in September.

First Financial Bank Breaks Ground on Kenwood Banking Center
October 26, 2011
CINCINNATI – Local residents, community leaders and First Financial Bank associates gathered today to celebrate the start of construction at the site of the new First Financial banking center located in Kenwood.
"Today's groundbreaking demonstrates our ongoing commitment to and growth in Greater Cincinnati. This year, we established the First Financial Center in the heart of downtown Cincinnati's central business district and opened a new Corporate Administration Center in Springdale," said Claude Davis, First Financial president and CEO. "We're proud to expand once again and bring a state-of-the-art banking center to the Kenwood community."
Cincinnati-based K4 Architecture and Core Resources have been selected to build the new banking center, located at 7735 Montgomery Road in Kenwood.
"We're focused on investing in local communities to expand our banking center network and enhance the overall client experience," said Kevin Langford, First Financial chief administrative officer. "We're pleased to be working with trusted local firms here in Cincinnati and look forward to welcoming clients to the new space next year."
The building, which will include more than 4,000 square feet, will be the first in the Kenwood area to be built using First Financial's award-winning prototype design. The open and accessible interior will include visual merchandising as well as engaging retail graphics to "take the client on a journey" that will remind them of defining moments of success in their lives.
Clients will find a full complement of retail deposit, commercial lending, and wealth management services as well as teller, drive-thru and ATM services at the new facility. The new building will also incorporate several elements that reflect the company's commitment to sustainability, including:
• High-performance, energy-efficient building envelope materials
• White roofing membrane to reduce heat absorption from sunlight
• Special window tinting to reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in summer
• High efficiency and automatically controlled HVAC equipment
• Lighting controls which reduce electrical waste during non-business hours
Construction on the new facility will be complete in early 2012.

Sarello's Tony Nasello shows us how to make a blonde roux for thickening soup.
Blond Roux
½ cup butter, shortening, lard or vegetable oil (the more flavorful the fat, the better the roux)
½ cup flour
(The ratio we use to make a roux is 1:1)
Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat, then gradually whisk in the flour until it is completely incorporated with the butter.
Cook over medium-low heat for about three to five minutes, whisking constantly until a light straw color is achieved. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. The roux will harden when refrigerated so that you can break it off in pieces.

USA's Bershawn Jackson hits back at world 400m hurdles champion Dai Greene
A heated rivalry in sport can often be a good thing, but so too can a clear mind – especially when you step on the startline at the world's biggest sporting event.
World 400m hurdles champion Dai Greene may have a little more to cope with than simply the pressure of competing in front of a home crowd when he takes to the track at the London Olympics. He may have to deal with the potential confrontation from two of the USA's biggest stars.
Last month in an interview with the Daily Mail, Greene said that he'd happily accost Olympic champion LaShawn Merritt, who has recently served a ban after testing positive for Dehydroepiandrosterone.
"If I'm in the relay team and we reach the final then there's every chance we'll be lining up against Merritt," said Greene. "I'll tell you now, I'll happily go and find him at the start and tell him to his face, 'You're a cheat and you shouldn't be here'.
"I'll be so motivated, so pumped up by his very presence in the race that I'd do anything I could to find myself up against him in the same leg of the relay, no matter what leg it would be.
"Let's be honest. It won't be a surprise if I'm in the relay team, it won't be a surprise if he's running for the Americans and it won't be a surprise if we're against each other in the semis or the final. So it's likely I'll get my chance to do this. And if I do, I'll take it."
Strong words that divided opinion in the athletics world. Some defended Greene, arguing that Merritt is indeed a cheat. But others were unconvinced, wary of the fact that when Merritt's case was brought to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the panel stated that there was an "absence of intention to gain an advantage over competitors".
The official line was that there was no intention to cheat and that the substance showed up in Merritt's sample because he had bought an over-the-counter male enhancement product.
Merritt did not publicly respond, but just as the dust began to settle, former world 400m hurdles champion Bershawn Jackson lashed out at Greene in an interview with the Fast Life Show.
"Greene said he knew we weren't going to medal, we were too overrated. What does he mean by being 'overrated?' I don't know. You're talking about a guy who won the Worlds in 48.2," said Jackson, who finished almost a second behind Greene in Daegu.
"It's going to be really difficult for him in his country to stop the Americans from coming and sweeping in 2012. He wrote a check that he can't cash and I'm coming. You're going to know I'm in the race.
"I'm upset about it and hope that the other Americans are upset about it. If they're not, I'm going to remind them when it comes to press conference time. Now you got to stand up to what you said. Now you have a target on your back."
The debate continued on twitter, with Jackson tweeting Greene: "I don't take nothing from Dai and what he has accomplish [sic]. He was the better man that day. But don't talk bad about me in the press conference when I always had nothing but good things to say about you."
Jackson was referring to the post-race press conference at the World Championships, a video of which can be seen on YouTube. But nowhere during that interview did Greene ever use the term "overrated" when talking about the American 400m hurdlers, nor did he single anyone out.
"The Americans haven't really been dominating on the circuit this year," said Greene. "LJ (van Zyl) has been fantastic earlier on in the season and it is nice to see fresh faces on the scene. Not fresh faces but people who aren't just American for a change. It just shows that the rest of the world is catching up.
"The 400m hurdles is a very open event at the moment," he added. "There were a lot of guys in the hunt for the medals, but it's very good for the sport and it's very good for the event that there are so many people in contention. I think it's a good thing that it's not just the usual faces at the top. In a few years you might be talking to us three again, asking us about how the Americans can never get a medal."
The pair are due to clash as soon as next month when they compete in the 400m hurdles at the Rome Diamond League meeting on May 31 – a dual that could be even more mouth-watering than the Usain Bolt vs Asafa Powell 100m showdown at the same meeting.

Do you find yourself drawn to gazing skyward, grimly pondering the tarry night heavens as your woolly charges mill around you? So do we.
But mostly we want to introduce our new blog, "The Shepherd".
What is The Shepherd you might ask?
The Shepherd is a blog dedicated to the readers and fans of our own Sheepshead Review. We intend for it to be a regular feature during our spring and fall active periods. And we hope for it to keep you informed and entertained on those cold winter nights among the lowing flock in the hills of the Iberian Peninsula.
Specifically The Shepherd will consist of five features, tagged individually for your convenience with the wonder of modern technology.
Cry of the Flock
The Sheepshead Review is at its heart a showcase for an excellent group of writers and artists. We intend to extend that showcase into the digital realm by featuring formats not possible in a print journal; reminiscing on old favorites; displaying teasers and interviews with creators for upcoming editions; and possibly even showcasing traditional work from our submission base.
Digital Spotlight
While we at The Shepherd are every bit as entranced by the feeling of cracking open a printed book as the rest of you, we are excited by the new directions media can take with the application of technology. Our Digital Spotlight seeks to focus on works that take advantage of these new forms, and looks to examine the changes in industry brought about by the existence of digital formats.
The Shepherd Speaks
The Shepherd Speaks is our platform to discuss the inner workings of the magazine, answer questions, and generally just rant about whatever happens to be on our minds. Think of it as the house editorial.
Distinguished Visitors
Distinguished Visitors is intended to display features and interviews with established professionals in fields relevant to the Sheepshead Review's readers and fans. Expect articles on writers, artists, and people in the publishing industry among others.
Getting Published
The Sheepshead Review is proudly a part of campus life at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. As we work hard to highlight and nurture our university talent we receive a large number of submissions from writers and artists who have never applied to a magazine before. We hope to use Getting Published to help these burgeoning talents grow into polished professionals, and help them make sure their submissions are fit to print.
We hope you are as excited as us at this new venture and look to see you around. Give us a comment if you have any questions or if you just want to say hi.
The Shepherd: Editor in Chief

Pre-Beam Knob Creek?

Saw this label and wondered if Beam got the brand from ND? Just curious....
06-11-2013, 06:41
Excellent find!
T Comp
06-11-2013, 07:00
Like Gary says! A quick internet search shows the name was registered as a trademark in 1935 by the Penn-Maryland corporation and that Jim Beam Brands Co. is the 12th owner since registration.
06-11-2013, 07:12
Wow, excellent find!
06-11-2013, 09:41
Interesting find! So I would assume that the yeast changed over to the standard Beam yeast when they acquired the brand?
06-11-2013, 10:22
Yes, the Beam expression uses the Beam house yeast and standard Beam mash bill.
06-11-2013, 15:43
Beam merged with National (ND) in 1987 and they started working on the Small Batch Collection (SBC) shortly thereafter, so it's possible they were browsing some old records, looking for ideas, and found this. Another of the SBC brands was Basil Hayden, which came from the ND portfolio via Old Grand-Dad (OGD).
The ND merger was really an acquisition but 'merger' sounded better because ND was the larger company. Beam had Fortune behind it and was in better financial shape. I started to do some work for Beam at about that time and it was interesting because it was a lot for them to swallow. Until that point, Beam had been essentially a one-product company with mostly U.S. sales. Suddenly they were a broad-portfolio company with worldwide sales.
As for the recipe, Knob Creek bourbon is Jim Beam bourbon and Knob Creek rye is Jim Beam rye. Same recipe. The only difference is that the distillate intended for Knob is taken off the still at a lower proof. And they manage the Knob barrels differently knowing they're going to age at least nine years. But they didn't start to do that until several years down the road, after the brand was well-established. For the first few years it was 9-year-old Jim Beam, period.
But very cool to see that old label and to know the name was used before.
This may explain the persistent rumor over the years that Knob is also OGD juice, which it isn't and never was. The rumor was probably started by someone who knew Knob was a minor ND brand.
Knob Creek, for those who don't know, is a real creek in Kentucky. The second and last Lincoln family farm in Kentucky was what Lincoln called "the Knob Creek place." There's also a famous shooting range there, site of the "Guntucky" TV show. With Fort Knox so near, shooting ranges around there are a little different.
06-12-2013, 01:09
Chuck, does Beam use that lower-proof distillate for any of the other brands, or does it all go into Knob Creek?
06-12-2013, 02:15
Good question . . . . . . .
06-12-2013, 07:40
Check out this thread (http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?10588-Beam-Distillation-Proofs) for an answer. Short answer, yes.
06-12-2013, 08:29
Interesting thread,,,,,,,,,,
06-12-2013, 10:06
I would've sworn regular Beam came off the still at 140 proof.
06-12-2013, 14:43
Check out this thread (http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?10588-Beam-Distillation-Proofs) for an answer. Short answer, yes.
Fascinating. Thanks for the link!
06-12-2013, 15:18
I doubt I would have dug up that post on my own - thanks Brisko!
06-18-2013, 16:05
To my surprise, there was such an interest that I decided to acquire that little label so here it is next to my special bottle of Knob Creek.

I released a new version of the Twitter plugin for Hudson today. You can see the details at http://hudson.gotdns.com/wiki/display/HUDSON/Twitter+Plugin.
This is the third plugin I've written in whole or part and I continue to be extremely impressed with Hudson's extensibility. I've got some other ideas, but I think I'm going to put those on hold and instead concentrate on building out a library for unit testing plugins as I seem to be running into the same issues over and over again.
Like most people unit testing Flex applications with FlexUnit in a Continuous Integration environment, I've based our setup on Peter Martin's blog post from January 2007. In it, he describes one of the core challenges of this type of configuration: the fact that the CI server is likely headless. Martin's solution is to use Xvfb. And this works fine.
But Hudson can do better because someone (Kohsuke, I assume) wrote a plugin for Xvnc. Simply install the plugin and check the checkbox in the job configuration screen:
Hudson will then automatically start up a Xvnc session and set the
DISPLAY environment variable to the appropriate value and then shut down the session when the build is complete. One advantage this has over the Xvfb method is that if you have multiple Flex projects building simultaneously, each build has its own X session. While this has yet to be an issue for our projects, it seems like a good idea. The architecture of FlexUnit actually makes simultaneous builds a bit tricky. In another post, I'll cover how Hudson can solve this problem too.
A word of warning:
Before using this plugin, you obviously have to have Xvnc installed. What's less obvious (although sensible) is that you must also set a password. You do this by running:
$ vncpassword
This has to be done as the same user Hudson runs as.
As a follow-up to my post about using the FlexUnit results produced by the flex-mojos Maven plugin to produce a unit test report, I wanted to point out that this same technique can be used within the Hudson continuous integration server.
Here's what the config looks like:
(Note that we're also using Hudson's JavaDoc support to publish the produced ASDoc).
This gives you all the nice Hudson unit testing support like graphs of tests per build:
UPDATE – With the Flex Mojos 1.0 release, the output directory for FlexUnit tests has changed. It's now
surefire-reports, so the Test report XMLs value should be

If you are an average schedule company, you may question what factors would lead you to convert to cost.The answers are complicated and depend on many company specific factors, but the most common factor is if your costs are high or are significantly increasing from past levels. For example, if your investments and/or expenses are high and your accumulated depreciation is low (or if you are planning large investments in your outside plant e.g. fiber to the home/curb project), you should have an analysis done to determine if converting to cost is advisable.
At Kiesling Associates, we perform high level reviews called "Quick Look Studies" to determine if converting to cost based settlements and USF would increase your total interstate revenues as compared to remaining an average schedule company.The Quick Look Study relies upon some company specific data and also some proxy or composite data from other cost companies. If the Quick Look points to cost conversion, we then recommend a "Full Feasibility" study.This study is more in depth, using company specific data for factor development instead of a proxy model.Additional data requirements include time studies, traffic studies, building/floor space diagrams, network diagrams, central office equipment categorization at the card level, cable and wire categorization, etc.
We work closely with you during the Full Feasibility study to make sure we have a clear understanding of your company structure and your network operations.If the results of the Full Feasibility study indicate that you should convert to cost, we prepare the cost conversion documentation and assist you with the required notifications to the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA).We are also available to speak to your board members to explain the study results.
If you convert to cost, generally speaking, the costs of converting might be eligible to be directly assigned to interstate and get paid back dollar for dollar from the interstate jurisdiction.

|» Used Vehicle Import Laws In Brazil:
- The tariff applied to cars is 35 percent.
- The tariff applied to trucks ranges from 14-35 percent (most at 35 percent).
- The tariff for auto parts (HTS 8407-08 and 8708) ranges from 0-19.5 percent (most in the 14-19.5 percent range).
- Auto manufacturers with plants in Brazil that are under the Brazilian Automotive Program import at reduced tariff rates, 24.5 percent for passenger vehicles and 22.5 percent for commercial vehicles.
- In December 1999, Brazil ended the import quota system which allowed automobile manufacturers and some independent importers to import 50,000 automobiles per year at a reduced tariff (23 percent in 1999).
- Import Taxes for trading within the Mercosul region are not subject to import tariff.
- Automobile and part manufacturers established in Brazil that benefited from import tariff reductions granted by the automotive program that expired in 1999, continue to enjoy a 40 percent reduction on the import tariff rate on imports of automotive parts.
- Import taxes are charged on the CIF value of the good
- Vehicles: 35 percent
- Automotive parts: 14, 16, and 18 percent (levels to be reached by 2006).
The IPI (Industrial Product Tax) is a federal tax applicable to imported and locally manufactured products and varies according to the product. The IPI for auto parts ranges from 4 to 16 percent and for automobiles ranges from 5 to 25 percent. For example:
- Vehicle category/ engine displacement Current Tax rate
- Automobiles up to 1000 cc 10 Automobiles up to 100 HP 25
- Automobiles of up 127 HP 25
- Automobiles of over 127 HP 25
- Light commercials 4X4 (pick ups) 10
- Diesel light commercials 4X2 10
IPI is charged on the CIF price plus the import duty. It is not a cost item per se, because the paid value represents a credit to the importer. When the product is sold to the end-user, the importer debits the IPI, which is included in the final price of the product and is paid for by the end-user.
The ICMS (Merchandise Circulation Tax) is a state tax, which varies according to the state, but ranges from 17-25 percent. The most common ICMS in the state of Sao Paulo is 18 percent and is charged on the CIF price plus the IPI. The ICMS is also assessed on locally-made goods.
Although importers must pay the ICMS to clear customs, it is not an actual cost item per se, because — similar to the IPI tax — the paid value represents a credit to the importer. When the merchandise is sold to the end-user, the importer debits the ICMS, which is included in the final prices and is paid by the end-user.
PIS/CONFINS: Contribution of 8.26 percent.
Port Taxes and Costs:
- Compulsory Contribution to Custom Broker's Union
- 2 percent of CIF, or minimum of $140, maximum of $280
- Customs Broker Average $700
- Terminal Handling Charges Up to $400 per container
- Merchant Marine Tax 25 percent of ocean freight
- Warehousing and Foremanship 0.65 percent of CIF
Port and warehousing fees: vary according to the port or airport and on the period of time required to release imports from customs. These fees usually add up to 2 to 4 percent of the CIF price. Smaller ports outside Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are usually less expensive than the ones in those states.
Other Measures:
An import license is required for imports of most vehicles and some auto parts. Import licenses are issued by the Brazilian Foreign Trade Secretariat (SECEX) and take approximately two weeks to obtain. They are valid for 60 days.
Local/Regional Content Requirements:
The Brazilian Automotive Program requires established automobile manufacturers to source 60 percent of all auto parts locally, whereas "newly-established" manufacturers are required to source 50 percent locally during the first three years of production and 60 percent thereafter.
Bilateral Quota System: The Governments of Argentina and Brazil allow local automakers to import a certain number of cars and trucks from each other duty-free. This quota is adjusted each year by the respective Governments. As of January 1, 2008, this ?flex-program? is based on a ratio of Brazil (1.00) to Argentina (1.95).
A mechanism of multiple compensations exists under the authority of Argentine Decree 939 of 2004 which approved and regulates the Additional Protocol #14 to the 2002 Economic Cooperation Agreement (ECA) between Argentina and Brazil. Article 13 of the ECA established a bilateral quota system until December 31, 2005. Argentina has extended it sine die.
Import Restrictions:
Imports of used automobiles into Brazil are not allowed under any circumstances, and special authorization is required for the import of used parts.
Brazil also has a ban on diesel passenger car imports, but still exports diesel cars to Argentina. Argentina is also currently considering a similar ban on imports and production of diesel passenger cars. There is a possibility this ban will be extended to the entire MERCOSUR region; however, this has yet to be determined under the CAP negotiations.

Here is the latest installment of Ken Hitchcock's "What's the Hitch" analysis of the Western Conference Final, as the Sharks and Blackhawks get ready for Sunday afternoon's Game 4 in Chicago (NBC, TSN, RDS):
San Jose's "Hitch": Get production from top six forwards, win the special-teams game outright.
First shift: San Jose has played really well at times in this series. The difference is Chicago has played really well all of the time in the first three games. San Jose needs more players to engage offensively, especially the top six forwards, on all shifts. It can't just be the top line.
It's also necessary for the Sharks to win the special-teams game outright. Chicago has been winning that battle. First of all, you don't want to give Chicago momentum in a close-out game by taking penalties and, then when you get the power play, you need to score, you need to get to the rebounds.
Coach's eye for details: Niemi has been kicking out the rebounds beyond the traffic in front of the net.
San Jose has to create the cracks in Chicago, because Chicago is not going to create those cracks.
Final period: The team that wins Game 4 is likely to be the one that scores first. San Jose has been chasing the Blackhawks most of the series. When you score first, it seems like you can dictate the pace and tempo of the game.
Chicago's "Hitch": Continue to play with a sense of urgency.
First shift: Jonathan Toews put it best when he said the Blackhawks are playing every game right now like it is a Game 7. That is a great attitude. Except for the first period of the first game of this series, they have played eight straight periods with a great sense of urgency. It shows up in the results.
Coach's eye for details: (Marian) Hossa fits nicely into Chicago's game. He is sound defensively and solid offensively. This is the way he played in Pittsburgh and Detroit too. He never turns in a bad game. He is building good minutes (even without scoring goals in this conference final).
Final period: Chicago is getting scoring from its top players. They simply have more players doing more things offensively in this series.

Backers of a proposed gay friendly public high school withdrew their plans from consideration by the Chicago Board of Education late yesterday.
The proposal was scheduled to be considered today by the Chicago Board of Education, along with four other new school proposals.
In a statement released last night, the design team says the school proposal changed after an Oct. 8 public hearing, and that they need another year to finalize their plans.
The design team says it is still projecting a fall 2010 opening, and would seek board approval sometime next year.
The design team includes Chad Weiden, assistant principal at Greater Lawndale Village School for Social Justice; Bill Greaves, director and community liaison of Chicago's Commission on Human Relations' advisory council on lesbian, gay and transgender issues; a University of Illinois-Chicago professor, and two CPS officials.
"We respect the decision of the design team, and we look forward to them re-submitting the proposal in '09," CPS officials said in a statement.
Weiden says feedback at two public hearings was generally positive, but comments beame heated over the last month. Two city residents spoke out against the school at the October board meeting, calling it sinful.
Weiden insists the school was never proposed as a gay school, but as a "gay friendly" school that would be open to all city students on the basis of a citywide lottery. The school's focus was to provide a supportive environment for all students, regardless of sexual orientation.
Paul Bowker, a Chicago-area journalist with 25 years of experience, covers Chicago Public Schools for the Daily News.

Transcultural health care practice: Transcultural clinical supervision in health care practice
Authors: Zenobia Nadirshaw, Bren Torry
As part of the series of 'Educational Materials in Health Care Practice, published by the Department of Health, this particular module seeks to examine transcultural work-based professional relationships; between managers and staff, staff and mentors, and between supervisors and students whom share working partnerships and practices. There has been a recent growth in information that aims to promote knowledge and awareness of transcultural health care practice, particularly with reference to institutional responsibilities; this module aims to 'balance' the transcultural perspective - by examining transcultural supervisory relationships between staff and students working within multi-cultural environments. Other modules examine issues of direct patient care, and line managerial perspectives, organisational structures and institutional responsibilities; when studying the content of this module it is important to draw upon knowledge from these other modules, particularly:
- the politics of diversity by Charles Husband
- transcultural Communication and Health Care Practice by Charles Husband and Edwin Hoffman
- race equality management by Karen Chouhan and Dave Weaver
- multi-disciplinary / Multi-agency Partnerships Across Cultures: A Health Perspective, by Udy Archibong et al
- the Practice Core, by Sue Dyson et al.
Before we proceed further, it would be worth clarifying the different terminology used in clinical supervision, and referred to throughout this module.
Clinical supervision
An activity that brings skilled supervisors and practitioners together in order to reflect upon their practice. "Supervision aims to identify solutions to problems, improve practice and increase understanding of professional issues" UKCC (1996). There are various models or approaches to clinical supervision; one-to-one supervision, group supervision, peer group supervision. The choice of approach will depend upon a number of factors, including personal choice, access to supervision, length of experience, qualifications, availability of supervisory groups, etc.
A skilled professional who assists practitioners in the development of their skills, knowledge and professional values. A supervisor, in this instance, is a qualified practitioner who has sufficient experience to deploy advice in a supervisory situation. Supervisors may be line managers, or colleagues, who are in a position to counsel staff on practice guidelines and applied policy.
A practitioner who receives professional advice, support and guidance from a supervisor. The UKCC (1996) suggests that clinical supervision will enable the supervisee to develop greater knowledge and a deeper understanding of accountability. Of course, for those practitioners who are very experienced in their field of work, a supervisor may be used more as a source of support for reflection on practice.
Transcultural clinical supervision
Within any good working relationship the effective process of communication and interaction is an essential ingredient. In a clinical supervision relationship, whether it is between two individuals or a group of people, communication and interaction provides the essential framework for the professional relationship to develop. It helps build up trust and rapport, and it provides an articulate process that is empowering, supportive and, when necessary, directive. One of the principle barriers within a clinical supervisory relationship is the presence of 'professional power'. Power inequalities arise within supervisor and supervisee relationships, and between majority ethnic groups and minority ethnic groups. Transcultural clinical supervision is concerned with the process of supervision between practitioners who have different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Clinical supervision UKCC regulations
The United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting (1996) produced a position statement on clinical supervision for nurses and health visitors; these principles have since been adopted by their successor, The Nursing and Midwifery Council (2000). The six key statements include:
- "clinical supervision supports practice, enabling practitioners to maintain and promote standards of care.
- clinical supervision is a practice-focused professional relationship involving a practitioner reflecting on practice guided by a skilled supervisor.
- the process of clinical supervision should be developed by practitioners and managers according to local circumstances. Ground rules should be agreed so that practitioners and supervisors approach clinical supervision openly, confidently and are aware of what is involved.
- every practitioner should have access to clinical supervision. Each supervisor should supervise a realistic number of practitioners.
- preparation for supervisors can be effected using 'in house' or external education programmes. The principles and relevance of clinical supervision should be included in pre- and post-registration education programmes.
- evaluation of clinical supervision is needed to assess how it influences care, practice standards and the service. Evaluation systems should be determined locally."
Although not a statutory requirement for nurses or health visitors, clinical supervision is a statutory function for the supervisor of midwives. As stated in The Midwife's Code of Practice, clinical supervision is considered an integral part of the midwifery supervisor's role. Clinical supervision is not a new phenomenon; many other professionals, including psychologists, counsellors, mental health practitioners and social workers, have already practised and developed systems of supervision, both for staff and clients.
Despite deficient, statutory regulation of clinical supervision it is essential support and stability is available for both supervisor and supervisee; intense working partnerships require mutual trust, respect and security, and these are qualities which are developed during long-term relationships and which are necessary for personal and professional development. This may be difficult to achieve within the clinical support group, where turnover of membership can pose a threat to the functional dynamics of the group.
Aims of the module
There are many different models and approaches to clinical supervision;
- One-to-one supervisor (supervisor-supervisee)
- Group Supervision (Supervisor-Supervisees)
- Peer Group Supervision (Dual Roles: Supervisors/Supervisees).
Clinical Supervision should not be confused with other 'supervisory' activities, such as the appraisal system, or mentoring.
This module intends to familiarise you with:
- one particular model of clinical supervision known as The Supervision Triangle
- the supervisory relationship within a multicultural environment.
The supervisor's toolkit

When a brand-name drug's patent protection expires, generic versions of the drug may be approved for sale. The generic version works like the brand-name drug, and is the same in quality, strength, purity and stability. Generic drugs must meet the same quality and safety standards as brand-name drugs and must be reviewed and approved by the FDA.

Building awareness of generic drug options together
In recent years, a number of factors have led to double-digit growth in the cost of prescription drugs:
The number of new brand name drugs entering the market has risen steadily.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers have spent billions of dollars promoting them through direct-to-consumer marketing.
Utilization rates have soared as an aging population has grown to rely on sophisticated - and often expensive - branded prescription medications.
The resulting pressure on prescription benefit sponsors has led to a quest to find less expensive, yet equally safe, alternatives. The use of generic drugs is one of them.
Back to Top
Fast facts on generics:
Generics contain the same active ingredients and meet the same strict FDA standards as their equivalent brand-name drugs.
A generic drug must deliver the same amount of active ingredients into a patient's bloodstream in the same amount of time as the brand-name drug.
Brand-name firms account for an estimated 50 percent of generic drug production.
Generic drugs generally cost 30% to 60% less.

The "Water Law" colloquium, on Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th of January, was hosted by the UNE School of Law's Australian Centre for Agriculture and Law (AgLaw Centre). It brought experts in water law from Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Iceland, South Africa and the United States together with their Australian counterparts to discuss the role of law in addressing conflicts over water.
Speakers at the colloquium examined water law and its social implications in relation to subjects such as climate change, the environment, agricultural water use, trans-boundary water flows, property rights, international waters, and energy and mining. Among the presenters were Professor Du Qun, Deputy Director of the Research Institute of Environmental Law at Wuhan University, China, speaking on "Trans-boundary water flows, conflict and the rule of law in China", Kristín Haraldsdóttir from the Institute on Natural Resources Law at Reykjavik University, Iceland ("Property rights to water and social conflict – an example from Iceland"), and Janice Gray from the Faculty of Law at the University of NSW ("Groundwater and property: a site of contestation").
UNE's Professor Paul Martin, the Director of the AgLaw Centre and the convener of the colloquium, said that the discussions during the meeting would form the basis of "significant inputs" to a large international conference in South Africa in August. Papers from the colloquium will be published in the first issue of the new International Journal of Rural Law and Policy to be published mid-year by UNE's School of Law.

The Journal provides live analysis of the NFC Championship between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks. Commentary is led by Andrew Beaton, with contributions from Jonathan Clegg at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
- 2:31 pm (EST)
- Pregame
- Andrew Beaton
In Week 1, Seahawks-Packers didn't live up to the hype. In Seattle, the Seahawks cruised to a 36-16 victory.
Since then? Seattle looked human to start the year, but its defense has looked unstoppable lately. They gave up seven or fewer points in five out of their last six regular season games, and beat the Carolina panthers 31-17 to reach here.
Their secret? Brutal honesty in the locker room and on the field.
And the Packers have moved past first game, with Aaron Rodgers telling Green Bay's fans to R-E-L-A-X. He has also told some awkward jokes, that his teammates don't really get.
And his teammates, well, they just prefer to play Settlers of Catan.
The Packers, like the Seahawks and the Colts and Patriots in the AFC title game,have thrived by getting the most out of their lowest-salaried players.
The Seahawks are favored in this one, but if there's one QB that can break the Seattle defense, it's likely Rodgers–who is on his way to this year's MVP.
Thanks for joining us, and stay tuned here for all the action .

I absolutely love this bag, and in my recent trip to Europe, this was the only bag I carried around and it was the perfect size. Although it is a mini mac quite a lot can fit inside this bag. I loved it for chucking essentials in: like the beauty products that I feature, as well as carrying around my iPhone and travel billets and such. I decided to bring this bag to Europe because as a tourist, you want to be careful of picket-pocketting, and the last time I was in France, I was a victim of picket-pocketing and so I wanted to be extra careful.
I like to wear this cross body, and when I'm walking around, I kept it in the front of my body. The zipper is something I love about this bag, because it zips up so well. There are quite a lot of bags, I have to tell you, that just don't zip up well! You actually need your two hands to zip up, but this bag has such a smooth zipper that when you are in a rush and want to zip up, you can do it easily. Small unnecessary fact you say? Not for me, since zippers are something I always check up in a bag!
And with the functionality of this bag, comes the absolutely beautiful style. This color just makes my heart flutter. In some lights it may look a bit dark, and then in some lights, it looks bright plum. I love it! You may know that I have a huge obsession with plum colored things, and when I bought it last Fall, I knew I'd get a lot of wear with this. It is both chic and feminine at the same time!
So, finally here are some handbag essentials that are really do carry. They aren't just placed this way for the blogpost. These are my current handbag necessities that I took out of this bag for this post.
As a whole, I think all girls carry around a hand cream of some sort in the winter. I have been falling head-over-heels for This Works Deep Sleep Dream Cream lotion for hands and body. I loved it when I first bought it, but decided to give it to my mother to use but when I found she wasn't really using it, I took it back and fell in absolute love! I recently bought another tube of this and it's been loved very much by me! Read here.
Then of course, a lip balm. I featured this balm before but Nuxe Reve de Miel is just a great lip balm for the harshest winters. It has a matte finish, and it is very thick-- almost so thick, it's hard to scoop out of the tube when the weather is cold. But nonetheless, it masks your lips and instantly binds the torn skin on the lips upon application! The small is also lovely. The only downfall is that when you apply this too much, you may end up with residue of the balm on your lips. You want to make sure you are applying it without leaving particles of its content visible on your lips. (Anyone else know what I mean?) Read here.
Then for lip colors, I usually carry two shades. One neutral/nude, and the other, bright. I recently had to go to an interview, and for interviews I always wear this shade by Burberry. It is their lip mist in the shade Copper. Hands down, the best professional lip color, whatever that means. Whenever you want to look proper, read, and professional- go for this one. It always perfects the lips by moistening it, hydrating it, and giving it a color neutral peachy/rosy/pinky nude. The color is just right. Read here.
Then for the bright lip color for a sudden change in look, I have been loving Rimmel Apocalips (Show Off) shade in Big Bang. This is a Marilyn Monroe red, and I love it. But what I really love is the Apocalips formulation in general. Couldn't get better- creamy, moisturizing, and perfectly pigmented. Their lip lacquers are better than the luxe brands that I've tried. Read here.
For face, I always try to carry a face powder around, especially when I want to look my best the whole day. I hate when I see my makeup melt and I have nothing to fix it up! I have been obsessing with the Bourjois Unifying Face Powder. I did a review of this after I brought it from France. This again, is by far, better than most high end brands I've tried. It instantly perfects my makeup anytime during the day. Read here.
Lastly, fragrance. Ah, fragrances! When I was Europe, I was never without this scent. Fresh Hesperides Grapefruit fragrance. I did a whole review of this recently, so you can go read it up here.

Samuel Nelson (November 10, 1792 – December 13, 1873) was an American attorney and a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Early life[edit]
Born in Hebron, New York, Nelson graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont in 1813 and read law with the firm of Savage & Woods in Salem, New York. He received his license to practice law in 1817, and entered private practice in Cortland, New York.
Nelson was a presidential elector in 1820, voting for James Monroe and Daniel D. Tompkins. Nelson was Postmaster of Cortland from 1820 to 1823.
He was Judge of the Sixth Circuit Court from 1823 to 1831; an associate justice of the New York Supreme Court from 1831 to 1837; and Chief Justice from 1837 to 1845. He was an unsuccessful candidate for U.S. Senator from New York in 1845.
On February 4, 1845, Nelson was nominated by President John Tyler to a seat as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States vacated by Smith Thompson. Nelson was confirmed by the United States Senate on February 14, 1845, and received his commission immediately. Nelson's confirmation in the last month of Tyler's presidency was a surprise. The unpopular Tyler had failed repeatedly to fill the vacancy left by Thompson, as the Whig-controlled Senate rejected his nominations of John C. Spencer, Reuben Walworth, Edward King and John M. Read. The Whigs found Nelson acceptable because, although he was a Democrat, he had a reputation as a careful and uncontroversial jurist.
Nelson served as a Justice for 27 years, until his retirement on November 28, 1872. His tenure was generally viewed as unremarkable.
In 1871, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Nelson to serve on the joint high commission to arbitrate the Alabama claims. During this time he took a leave of absence from the bench. Soon thereafter, Nelson became ill. He resigned from the commission in 1872, shortly before his death.
Death and burial[edit]
Samuel Nelson died in Cooperstown, New York, in 1873. He was buried at Cooperstown's Lakewood Cemetery.
Nelson married Pamela Woods in 1819. In 1825, after Pamela's death, he married Catharine Ann Russell. He had two children from his first marriage and six from his second. His fourth child with Catharine, Rensselaer Nelson, was the first United States District Court Judge for the District of Minnesota.
Nelson received the honorary degree of LL.D. from Geneva College in 1837 and Middlebury College in 1841. He received honorary LL.D. degrees from Columbia University and Hamilton College in 1870.
His law office may today be seen at the Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown.[3]

Is Triond Legitimate?
I have seen many online discussions with people asking if triond is legit, this is my response…
Is Triond.com a legitimate site? YES! Triond is a very legitimate site that pays its members. I have been paid many times with PayPal. The minimum payout amount to reach is $0.50 which is actually quite easy to earn. They pay on the 15th of every month.

Thank you for reading my article!
I think the reason why people question it's legitimacy is because they think they're going to earn megabucks when we all know it's not like that, I've been on Triond for about a year now and only earnt a very small amount but I do it because I like writing, anything I get from it is a bonus.
yeah, people sign up expecting to make $20/hour or something and they get a small amount. I do it for the same reason you do, and i also promote my affiliate programs and websites.
my game site: http://blackmetalgames.weebly.com/
I think as you go on writing and if your articles get enough exposure, it will eventually lead to a good amount as well.
yes, thats right, if your articles get lots of exposure/views you will eventually start to earn more. There are people that actually earn enough from triond to use it as their main source of income! I would really like to find out how!
I got paid .92 cents my first month on Triond, so they do pay 1 cent for every 5 article views. Most of my articles are not viewed at all, but there are a few that get me 10 views a day.
Why God created this ugg sale store world? The question has not only baffled the philosophers, religious leaders, mystics, artists but ugg sale uk also the scientists. Scientist too doesn't explain why and how this universe was developed. Why did the ugg sales important bang happen? How was the ugg sandals universe before big bang? Whom to inquire about this question? An old Hindi song expresses ugg sandals on sale this quest of man in the following wordsWhile we know that ugg sandals sale this world is created by God or evolved from energy but we discover no explanation of the reasons of ugg scarf and gloves the creation. Reason of creation is must as the knowledge ugg schuhe of cause is necessary to predict the effect. Unless we realize the purpose of creation, it is difficult to lead your ugg scuff slippers life consistent with the desire of God or the laws of nature. Einstein too wished to know the thoughts of God because he said, "I need to know God's thoughts; the ugg sheepskin boots others are details."What Scriptures say about creation?Scriptures don't help much to understand this eternal mystery. Bible merely says in the first chapter working with Genesis that in the beginning God created the heaven as well as the earth. The earth was formless, empty and dark as well as the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Thereafter God created light, water, vegetation, day-night, stars, birds and animals. Finally God created man in his own image and subsequently created women from a rib of man. The idea of creation in Islam is fairly similar to that of Bible.The Vedanta philosophy ugg sheepskin gloves of Hinduism believes the physical world is nothing but the symbol of God. As a result it believes that God ugg sheepskin slippers just isn't an external entity outside of the world, but it's part of Him. ugg shoes "All in God and God in all" will be the simplest explanation of the concept of universe and God.If God may be ugg shoes kids compared with your body of a person then ugg shoes on sale the individuals may be compared with a cell from the body. Much like there are trillions of cells of millions of type, so might be the real cheap uggs different forms of creations within the universe. Yet all of the different types of cells like real ugg boots for cheap that of skin, bone, nail, blood, hair surely result from a single fertilized cell. real ugg boots on sale It's been now proven through the success of cloning that each single cell with the body can develop itself to real ugg boots sale the full body that is identical to the parent body. Thus God occurs in all living beings and each being has the goal and power to become God by the power of Karma and achieve salvation or union with God.In Gita when Arjuna real uggs desired to see the vision of God, Lord Krishna saysO Arjun,behold My hundreds and real uggs cheap maybe thousands of multifarious divine kinds of different colors and shapes. Behold all the celestial beings and lots of wonders never seen before. Also behold the complete creation-animate, inanimate, and whatever else you would like to see real uggs for cheap – all at one place in My body. But they're not able to see Me together real uggs on sale with your physical eye; therefore, I supply you with the divine eye to see My majestic power and glory. (Gita, 11:5-11.08)Thus you will find broadly two really cheap ugg boots kinds of theories in scriptures. really cheap uggs One which sees God as an external being who came up with world i.e. dualism and the other which treats the creation and God as you and ditto or non-dualism. The non-differentiation of God as well as the creature is often termed as Advaita (Non-dualism) or Vedanta philosophy really cheap uggs for kids of Upanishads in Hinduism. The non-dualistic philosophy is most difficult to comprehend by the ordinary people like the theory of relativity of Einstein. Therefore, in fact, most Hindus red ugg boots have confidence in the concept of a God who's different from the person and red uggs who guides and directs the world. In fact Hindus believe not in a single God however in millions of God who all have specialized functions to perform. Though, it also agrees that all gods as just the symbol roslynn ugg boots of one Supreme Reality. Further all Gods of Hinduism sale on ugg boots will be in human form and therefore it agrees with Christianity that God created man in the own image.All scriptures broadly sale on uggs agree that this world is not the only world sale ugg produced by God. They all give the concept of heaven or paradises in which the inhabitants have the freedom from problems with this world that is sale ugg boots considered to be the spot of pain and misery where individuals are send to be punished. Bible says the man is punished as sale uggs a result of "original sin" committed by Adam. sand ugg boots Hinduism says that this world may be the karmabumi or the host to karma (action) where a person can work and perform to ensure that he can get salvation or freedom from this world. Buddhism too acknowledges that pain is sequin ugg boots inevitable nowadays and the goal with the man is to be relieved in the pain by the true knowledge or enlightenment.Yet as we have any faith in sequin ugg boots the wisdom of God, then there should be a purpose inside the design of the shearling gloves planet and each person should be born these days for a purpose along with a goal. What could be sheepskin ugg boots that reason for God and goal of man?Realizing GodAll scriptures provide shoes ugg the hint how the goal of most human beings is to realize God in order to be become like God. The thought of God in most religion is to help the man in finding an short ugg ideal life to achieve divinity. Christians short ugg boots are anticipated to follow the life of Jesus Christ, short uggs on sale Muslims must follow the life of Prophet Mohammad and Hindus must become like Rama and Krishna. Buddhists too want to become like Buddha. Thus all sparkle uggs the prophets and Gods inside their human incarnation provided a perfect that man is required to follow in his life in order stores that sell uggs that he become like God.Each person becomes divine, sundance uggs he then deserves the area in heaven and obtain free from the bondage of earth. This is actually the real goal of super cheap uggs all religions. All religions agree that man must get himself tall ugg clear of the worldly pursuits and become spiritual to ensure that he can enter tall ugg boots the kingdom of God viz. heaven.Though, the entire the ugg boot shop world is portrayed as evil and put of the ugg shop pain yet very few people find the world so painful. In reality the ugg store most people love life and its various creations and want to the uggs store live forever nowadays. Rarely someone wish to die in spite of the pain he faces in this world. The reason is that if toddler ugg boots sale there is pain, another highlight is pleasure nowadays. How many people in this world are really fitness instructor spiritual? Most people prefer worldly what to God as this famous Hindi toddler uggs sale song says,God has created this turquoise uggs world very intelligently. While he ugg abbie created the first husband and wife, he gave his power to his creation to enable them to create other beings. Thus every one of the creations ugg adirondack of individual are quite similar to the creation ugg adirondack black of God. All institutions and system developed by man has inspiration from God. The idea of justice, equality, ugg adirondack boot love, affection is nothing but divine qualities within man.Since man is certainly not but the ugg adirondack boots image of God, almost all their creation must have some resemblance with the institutions ugg adirondack ii created by God. Thus the earth has been perceived differently by each person. Shakespeare ugg amberlee perceived the planet as stage in "As You Like It"In the eyes of the artist, the ugg adirondack otter planet is nothing but drama where everyone is playing a personality. However, this hypothesis is ugg america only partly true because the people nowadays are given free will by God to consider ugg adirondack sale and act. Hence individuals are not acting but facing the real world with real forces of pain and pleasure. Our planet seems a lot more like a school the location where the problems of the test, ugg adirondack sand though created artificially to test the knowledge, are very real for that student.The planet as a SchoolThe thought of the modern ugg adirondack tall world is not possible to imagine minus the concept of school. Every human being gets admitted with a ugg au school with a tender age and learned the knowledge of the world from his teachers. He has ugg austrailia to pass examination conducted by the schools which test the worldly knowledge of the person. When a person acquires the worldly knowledge, he becomes fit to initiate a profession and contribute within the material growth ugg baby of the world.Whilst in school, ugg adirondack tall boot every person has to undergo many tests or artificially designed questions or situations and that he must find an ugg adirondack tall boots answer to these problems. Once he is able to solve the simple and ugg australia artificial problem, he gradually develops a chance to understand and ugg australia adirondack solve the complex problems of life.All scriptures agree that ugg bailey ultimately the goal of the man is always to achieve salvation which can be achieved only by becoming divine. The trail of divinity may be the path of ugg adirondack reviews prophets and avatars who had acquired the divine knowledge and became spiritual. The aim of every person is always to ugg australia bailey button become spiritual and discard the worldly pleasure. The world is designed in a ugg australia boots fashion that it always tempts anyone to the worldly pursuits. In Indian philosophy, it is also called maya or illusion. The forces of the world are so strong it is almost impossible for ugg australia gloves v most man to resists its attraction. Thus a person ugg australia kids is continuously tested as part of his life inside the school known as the world. Only if ugg australia outlet he becomes spiritual, he knows the real happiness as well as the knowledge of God.Thus the entire world ugg australian is not created without a purpose; It tests whether you tune in to the message with the body or that relating to the soul. ugg australia saleugg baby booties We all start from the body and go on to the soul. One who ignores what it's all about from the soul and listen simply to the body, is made to ugg australia uk feel pain and miserly by the soul to create the person off to the right path. Soul may be the cause of all happiness with no happiness is achievable without the joy with the soul. God just like a good examiner ugg black will not provide the right strategies to you but only drops hints for you which let you ugg australia shop learn the lessons yourself.Thus the nature triplet bailey button uggs which is the physical manifestation of the world is like a book which should be used to ugg australia outlet store educate the soul to ensure that man can be spiritual. Within the words of Swami Vivekananda,The reason for the ugg bailey button nature's existence is for the education of soul; it's got no other meaning; it's there since the soul must have knowledge, ugg bailey button 5803 and through knowledge free itself. When we remember this always, we shall not be attached to ugg bailey button black nature; we shall understand that nature is really a book which we have been to read; understanding that when we have gained the required ugg bailey button bomber knowledge, the ebook is of no value to us.Those who can understand ugg boot store why message gradually understand their soul and distance themselves from the world ugg boot and worldly pursuits. By comprehending the voice ugg bailey button boot of soul, one also develops the capacity to understand ugg bailey button boots the text of God and turn into the massager of God these days. These people are called from the world as spiritual, ugg bailey button brown Avatars or Prophets. One, who may have become truly spiritual, ugg bailey button chestnut achieves divinity and passes the examination of the world to initiate the kingdom of God.ConclusionThe planet is not ugg bailey button gloves created by God with out a purpose. Our planet is like a school and the nature is similar to the ugg bailey button grey book written by God that helps a person in the spiritual evolution by learning how to listen to message of the God from his soul. Once he acquires the required qualification and attains merit, he passes test of this world, ugg bailey buttons to be able to achieve divinity and get into the kingdom of God.Mr. Awdhesh K ugg bailey gloves Singh is definitely an Engineer by education and philosopher by passion. He supports the PhD degree in E-goverance. adirondack ugg He's got published several papers adirondack ugg boots in International Journals and Conferences about E-governance, Artificial Intelligence, Fuzzy Logic and Expert Systems.He is the founding part of The Aatmic Science Foundation, (The Science of Soul Foundation). His interest is in creating synthesis between all religions and sciences for your benefit of the mankind.

By Dance Insider Staff
Copyright 2004 The Dance Insider
NEW YORK -- Carlos Orta,
for more than 20 years a prototypical interpreter of the works of
Jose Limon and an eloquent Othello in Limon's 1949 "Moor's Pavane,"
died suddenly on the afternoon of May 15 at the corner of Houston
and Broadway, not far from the studios of the Limon Institute, where
he taught, of an apparent heart attack, according to friends. (At
press time, autopsy results were not available.) Limon Dance Company
artistic mentor Donald McKayle confirmed the news to the Dance Insider.
"I received a phone
call from (company director) Carla Maxwell on Sunday morning (May
16) to tell me this tragic news," McKayle told the DI in an e-mail
message, following a query based on reports the DI had received.
"Carla was the first
person they called," McKayle said. "Her name was at the front of
the address book he was carrying. Because she was not a relative,
they could not give her any details. There will be an autopsy, because
of the nature of his death." Orta was reportedly alone when he passed
away. "He was a man in the best of health all the time, full of
life, always with many interesting projects in the works. He had
an active professional life here and in his native country, Venezuela.
His dance company, CoreoArte, had a summer residency with Limon
a few years back. I met Carlos in the mid- '70s in Koln at the International
Sommer Academie. He was a wonderful dancer and a man of great creativity
in every aspect of his life. I will miss him."
Orta, 60, performed
as a member of the Limon Dance Company from 1979 to 2000, and also
appeared with the Folkwang Ballett, Tanztheater Wuppertal, and the
Koln Tanz-Forum. As a choreographer, he'd created works for Tanz-Forum,
Netherlands Dance Theatre, and the Limon company. In his native
Venezuela, he made work for the Ballet Nuevo Mundo, the Chamber
Ballet of Caracas and Danza Hoy. The International Academy of Dance
in Koln awarded Mr. Orta the Audience Prize in 1975 and the Jury
Prize in 1976 for his choreography. In 1983, Orta founded his own
Venezuelan company, CoreoArte Dance Company, with Noris Ugueto.
In August, 1985, the Venezuelan government honored him with its
highest artistic recognition, the Prize of Dance. Orta has been
a member of the Dance Committee of International Theater Institute/UNESCO
since June, 1995. At the time of his passing, he was also on the
faculty of the Limon Institute.
Orta became the signature
Othello in Limon's take on the Shakespeare tragedy. Reviewing a 1999 performance at
the Joyce Theater, the New York Times's Leslie Kandell wrote, "With
long expressive hands, free arm movements and scarlet velvet robe,
Carlos Orta makes a compelling Moor -- loving, kicking, stiff-arming
and lamenting, strongly in contrast to the sweet innocence of his
bride (Roxane D'Orleans Juste) and to the hawklike whisperings of
his poisonous friend...."
According to Limon executive
director Mark Jones, Orta's death came as he was about to begin
rehearsals for a play by Federico Garcia Lorca being presented at
the New Jersey Shakespeare Festival. When Jones last encountered
him, the day before he died, Orta was "very excited about this stage
Tribute performances
will be held tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday night, beginning at
7:30 p.m., at the Puffin Room, 435 Broome Street.
