A report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, ranking states by unemployment, had disappointing results for Michigan. The list, which was released in December of 2013, ranks Michigan as 48 out of 51.
Sunday in Marquette, Mark Schauer, a Democrat running for governor in this yearâ??s election, says that needs to change.
The gubernatorial candidate talked with voters in Marquette about things he hopes to change if elected. Schauer says he aims to invest more into education, which he feels could help reduce unemployment in Michigan.
"Good education produces good jobs, and what Iâ??ve seen under our current governor is a billion dollar cut to our schools," stated Schauer. "What we've got to do is get our priorities right."
"A key to a good job is a good education, and that's priority number one for me," Schauer added.
Other data reveals Michiganâ??s economy has improved while Governor Rick Snyder has been in office.
According to Comerica Bank, Michiganâ??s ec onomy reached a 10-year high in 2013.
The study adds housing markets statewide are improving as sales and prices increase.
Governor Snyder responded that though Michigan still has some challenges, it's well on its way to making a comeback.

Summary: Facing issues importing Sony PMW-EX1/EX3 XDCAM EX footage into Premiere Pro for further editing? Fortunately, there is an easy workflow for this. Let's find it out
If you are considering a XDCAM EX camcorder, Sony PMW-EX1 and PMW-EX3 should be on your list. Combining the moderate bit rate of MPEG-2 Long GOP compression, Sony is adopted with new XDCAM-EX intraframe codec and newly designed 1/2-inch type "Exmor" CMOS Sensors. Well, no matter you're using or going to have Sony PMW-EX1 or PMW-EX3, you may wanna know the compatibility of the Sony EX1/EX3 XDCAM with Premiere Pro. In this page, I will give you the answer.
Adobe Premiere Pro will work with some MP4 files, but not all. The problem is that they are not the same, which may contain different video/codec and various video frame rates. Like the XDCAM EX MP4 video from Sony EX1 or EX3 is not an ideal editing format for Premiere Pro. You can try converting the files with some third-party software solutions Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac (It's the app I'm using.).
Overall, Brorsoft's Video Converter Mac can enable you to effortlessly transcode XDCAM EX MP4 videos (from Sony PWM-EX1R/EX1/EX3 ) to MPEG-2 files, which will create an Premiere friendly file format for smooth editing. Besides Premiere Pro, this software can also export DNxHD for Aivd MC, Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro, AIC for iMovie/Final Cut Express and more NLE systems for native editing. If you are on Windows, just turn to Brorsoft Video Converter. Now get the step-by-step instruction below.
Premiere Pro CS6/CS5.5/CS4/CS3 and Sony PMW-EX1/EX3 Best Workflow
Step 1: Install and launch the Sony PMW-EX1 video converter on Mac and click the "Add" button to load EX1R separate .mp4 files for converting.
Tip: Check the "Merge into one" box, you can join several EX1R clips together.
Step 2. Select "Format" pull down list to select Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas> MPEG-2(*.mpg) as the best video format for Premiere Pro.
Step 3: To get a perfect video for editing in Premier Pro CS6/CS5.5/CS4/CS3, you'd better press the Settings icon to set the video size as 1920*1080, frame rate as 30fps in the Profiles Settings panel.
Note: For MPEG-2(*.mpg) output format, 30fps is the highest frame rate which can be recognized in Adobe Premier Pro. If you really want to keep the original frame rate, you'd better choose Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas --> WMV (VC-1) (*.wmv) as the export format.
Step 4: After above settings, hit "Convert" button to start transcoding Sony PMW EX1/EX3 MP4 to MPEG-2 for directly importing to Premier Pro.
Once the process completes, you can click "Open" to locate the .mpg files ready to be imported into Adobe Premiere Pro CS6/CS5.5/CS4/CS3.
Additional Tips:
If you wanna transcode Sony PMW-EX1, EX3 footage to FCP X or FCP 6/7, choose Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov); for iMovie or FCE 4, choose the "iMovie and Final Cut Express -> Apple InterMediate Codec (AIC) (*.mov)"; and for Avid MC, "Avid Media Composer > Avid DNxHD(*.mov)" is the choice.

Filipino name
In the Philippines, varying naming customs are observed, whether it was family name first, given name last, a mixture of native conventions with those of neighbouring territories. The most common iteration amongst Filipinos is a blend of the older Spanish system and Anglo-American conventions, where there is a distinction between the "Christian name" from "surname". The construct of having several names in the middle name convention is common to all systems, but to have multiple "first" names and only one middle and last name is a result of the blending of American and Spanish naming customs. So in this case the Philippine naming custom is coincidentally identical to the Portuguese name customs.
- 1 Common conventions
- 2 Autochthonous surnames
- 3 Iberian surnames
- 4 Filipino-Japanese surnames

- 7 German surnames

Common conventions[edit]
For the most part, most Filipinos abide by the Spanish system of using both paternal and maternal surnames, the latter constituting the "middle name". An example would be John Paul Reyes y Mercado becoming John Paul Mercado Reyes, where the particle y is used only for legal purposes and is otherwise dropped. The middle name in its natural sense would have been the second name if the person had one, but is never counted as an individual's given name.
Filipinos tend to be people with middle names and surnames derived from Chinese, Spanish, or Philippine roots combined with Spanish or English given names (can be more than one). Some typical combinations are: "María Bernadette de los Reyes Cuyegkeng," "Iván Theophilo R. Ho," "George Bernard T. Cho III," "Hillary P. Dimagiba," "Carmencita Shih Gatdula," "John Erickson Miguel Muñoz Chan," "Jimson Ricardo Chadwick Uy Cuenco Jr." "Irish Diamond Fuentes Amoroso," and so on (these examples are fictional). A few names also derive from Tagalog and other Philippine languages but these are not common: "Bayani" (hero), "Luningning" (brightness/sheen), "Dakila" (great), "Kalayaan" (freedom), "Isagani" (unknown meaning).
Almost all Filipinos haD Spanish or Spanish-sounding surnames imposed on them for taxation purposes, but a number of them have indigenous Filipino surnames. On 21 November 1849, Governor General Narciso Clavería y Zaldúa issued a decree stating that Filipinos should adopt Spanish surnames to make census counting easier. Some Filipinos retained their native pre-colonial names, especially those who were exempted from the Clavería decree such as the descendants of rulers of the Maharlika or noble class. These surnames include Lacadola, Urduja and Tupas who each descended from different Datus. They were allowed to keep the name to claim tax exemptions. Most younger Filipinos have English Christian names (e.g. Andrew, Candice, Francis, Mark, Paul etc.) but many also bear Spanish (e.g. Ana, Antonio, Enrique, Lucho, Maria, Miguel etc.) or indigenous Filipino first names (e.g. Ligaya, Liwayway, Makisig, Mayumi). Filipinos rarely use diacritics save for the tilde on the ñ, which is not universal because of the widespread use of American standard typewriters and keyboards, which sometimes include the ñ and do not include accented vowels. Computer keyboards both currently and previously use the U.S. standard layout, which includes neither ñ nor combining diacritics. Spanish names, however, are vocally stressed as they would be by Spanish-speakers.
The Spanish surname category provides the most common surnames in the Philippines. These include Mendoza, García, del Rosario, (de la) Cruz, (de los) Reyes, (de los) Santos, González/Gonzales, Torres and López.[1]
Chinese and Arabic[edit]
Many modern-day Chinese Filipinos have last names with one syllable like Lim, Tan, and Sy. However, early Chinese Filipino families took on the complete name of their patriarch, thus their names had three syllables. These were adopted into the mainstream Filipino surnames and don't exist anywhere else in the world. Their names were transcribed using the Spanish orthography in effect during the 19th century.
Of particular interest is the convention of Chinese surnames ending in -co or -ko. That suffix is an honorific in the Chinese language retained in the surname. However, "co" by itself is also a valid surname. In general, if it is at the end it is an honorific. An example of this is Cojuangco. Their patriarch was Co Chi Kuan, who was addressed respectfully as Co Kuan Co (one given name dropped). Co Kuan Co eventually became Cojuangco to better adapt to the social norms dictated in the Spanish era.
The use of Arabic names is prominent among the Filipino Muslims. The country has Islamic influence from what are now Arabs, Persians, Malays, Indonesians, and Indians, who have traded with ancestors of Filipinos, and introduced Islam to the southern parts of the archipelago beginning in the 13th century. Some names, including Fátima, Omar, and Soraya, bear direct influence from Arab sources and Spanish ones, given the latter's period under Moorish rule.
Autochthonous surnames[edit]
These are some non-Hispanic surnames unique to the native naming convention. Some surnames have a literal meaning in Philippine languages while others are derived from immigrants altering their names to conform to the colonial Spanish nomenclature.[1]
|This section does not cite any sources. (January 2014)
Unlike their lowlander counterparts, Igorots living in the Cordillera Central in northern Luzon were not conquered by the Spaniards, thereby preserving their naming customs from foreign influence. Each group had their own naming customs, but generally, like Indonesian names, there is only one given name and no surname to speak of. The given name's meaning is usually connected to natural phenomena or objects, such as danum for water. It was only the Igorots who have had interacted with Spaniards and lowlanders for trade who were given a name that follows the binomial "first name"-"surname" system, such as Mateo Cariño and Mateo Carantes.
It was only at the turn of the 20th century and the advent of the American occupation of the Philippines that the naming customs of the Igorots slowly conformed with the national legal naming system used to today, aided by the evangelization efforts of American Protestant missionaries. Most older people, however, still keep the singular given name given to them by their parents while also using the so-called "Christian name" to conform to Philippine law. The singular given names of some individuals living in the early 20th century have since been adopted as a surname by their descendants.

- Cosalan
- Lumas-e
- Lumaad
- Tauli
- Wang-od

Surnames of Chinese origin[edit]
Listed are surnames of Chinese people living in the Philippines, primarily in the old Chinatown of Binondo, Manila. Some multi-syllabic surnames, particularly with the -co and -ko honorific endings, were adapted in the Spanish Era and thus retain Spanish spellings, while more recent ones tend to comprise one syllable. This is not a complete list.

They most likely indicate Japanese ancestry either from the many Japanese who settled during pre-colonial Philippines when it was separated among different nations (kingdoms, rajahnates, sultanates, tribes, etc.), colonial times, or more recently from World War II.[9][10][11][12][13] During the Macapagal and Marcos administrations, only few Japanese Filipinos have entered military services and this was very limited. These people in military service during that time are descendants of World War II Japanese soldiers who were captured, pardoned and settled in the Philippines and married Filipino women. Today, some Japanese immigrants living in the Philippines are Nisei, Sansei, Yonsei, and/or Gosei; however, these generations are not categorized (unlike in U.S. and Brazil, and other countries where generations of Japanese immigrants are categorized).

These are the surnames of Filipinos of British and/or American parentage, as these surnames are both shared by the Americans and the British. But much of the Filipinos bearing these surnames were more descended from their American fathers or grandfathers. These surnames are also carried by fathers and grandfathers from Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

Maternal middle names and Paternal family surnames[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (January 2014)
Christians (as well as certain Muslims, Chinese Filipinos, and others) in the Philippines formerly followed naming patterns practiced throughout the Spanish-speaking world (the practice of having the father's surname followed by the mother's surname, the two being connected by the particle "y", which means "and", such as Juan Agbayani y López). If the second surname starts with i, y, hi or hy, the particle becomes e, following Spanish rules of euphony, as in Eduardo Dato e Iradier. Sometimed this second rule is overlooked.
However, this practice changed when the Philippines became a United States colony in the early half of the 20th century. The order was reversed to follow the conventional American form "Christian name-Middle name-Surname," which in this case is actually "Christian name-Mother's surname-Father's surname" (Juan López Agbayani or simply Juan L. Agbayani). The conjunction y was dropped, although it is still used in certain contexts today (most notably in criminal records).
Currently, the middle name is usually, though not always, the mother's maiden name (followed by the last name which is the father's surname). This is the opposite of what is done in Spanish-speaking countries and is similar to the way surnames are done in Portugal and Brazil. The blending of American and Spanish naming customs results in the way Filipinos write their names today.
Furthermore, application forms for various Philippine government documents define the first name as the "Christian name(s)," the middle name as the "mother's maiden surname" (this becomes the basis for the middle initial), and the surname as the "father's surname."
Bearing the mother's maiden surname as the middle name or middle initial is more important to a majority of Filipinos than to use one of the given names as a middle name or middle initial. Filipino culture usually allocates equal value to the lineage from both mother and father except in some prominent families who practice a strictly patriarchal system (usually of Spanish or Chinese heritage).
Exceptions apply in the case of children with single parents. Children born out of wedlock are registered under the mother's maiden name (if still unmarried), applying her middle name (maternal surname) and current surname (paternal surname) for the child's middle name and last name, respectively. The unmarried father must resort to legal and administrative procedures if he desires to acknowledge the child as his own and for the child to be registered with his own surname (in which case the child will use the mother's surname as his/her middle name).
Married and maiden names[edit]
When a woman marries, she may: use her maiden first name and surname and add her husband's surname; use her maiden first name and her husband's surname; or use her husband's full name, but prefixing a word indicating that she is his wife, such as "Mrs."[14] She may also decline to adopt her husband's surname and continue to use her maiden name since there is no law in the Philippines which obligates a married woman to use the surname of her husband.[15]
- When a woman whose full maiden name is Aveline Elizalde Bellerose (where her given name is "Aveline", mother's maiden surname is "Elizalde", and father's surname is "Bellerose"; this is normally shortened to "Aveline E. Bellerose" or "Aveline Bellerose") marries a man by the name of Alexander James Breckenridge, she may address herself and choose to be legally and/or nominally known either as Aveline Elizalde Bellerose - Breckenridge (shortened to "Aveline E. Bellerose - Breckenridge" or "Aveline Bellerose - Breckenridge"), Aveline Bellerose Breckenridge (shortened to "Aveline B. Breckenrdige" or "Aveline Breckenridge"), Mrs. Alexander James Breckenridge, or still as Aveline Elizalde Bellerose. However, once she has opted to use the surname of her husband, she shall continue using the same until her marriage with her husband is validly terminated, such as through annulment, subject to certain conditions.[14][15]
- All children from this marriage will automatically have "Bellerose" as their middle name and "Breckenridge" as their last name, but they may have any number of first/given names as the parents wish (usually one to three).[14]
- Their child, "Tristan Dashiell", will have a full name of Timothy Dashiell Bellerose Bartolome shortened to Timothy Dashiell B. Bartolome when using initials. "Tristan Dashiell B. Breckenridge" will be the preferred way of rendering the name. Depending on family or personal preference, the child may use either "Tristan" or "Dashiell" as his primary given name.
- If for space constraints, the aforementioned Timothy Dashiell B. Bartolome cannot use this preferred way of writing his name, he would most likely choose to write his name as "Timothy B. Bartolome" or "Timothy D. B. Bartolome" (keeping the mother's maiden name) instead of just "Timothy D. Bartolome " (the generally American or Commonwealth custom).
Until the middle of the 20th century, it was common for married Filipino women to insert the particle "de" ("of") between her maiden surname and husband's surname (as in Aveline Bellerose de Breckenridge or Aveline B. de Breckenridge), another common Spanish naming custom. However, this practice is no longer common.
Married Filipino women who are professionals may choose to hyphenate their surnames (such as "Aveline Bellerose - Breckenridge," instead of simply "Aveline Breckenridge" or "Aveline B. Breckenridge"), at least in professional use, and use it socially even if legal documents follow a different naming pattern. This practice allows others to identify them after their marriage and helps others keep track of their professional achievements; otherwise, her unmarried and married names would seem to refer to two different persons ("Aveline Elizalde Bellerose" as compared to "Aveline Bellerose Breckenridge").
Other naming patterns[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (January 2014)
Filipinos may have one or more official given names (as registered in their birth certificates and baptismal certificates) and various types of temporary or permanent nicknames. Filipinos have a penchant for giving themselves or each other various sorts of nicknames and monikers. Some nicknames are carried for life while others are used only with certain groups so a person can have multiple nicknames at different ages or among different groups of people.
Abbreviations, combinations, and elisions[edit]
Long given names can be shortened in various ways. Emmanuel can become Eman, Manuel, Manolo, Manny, or Manoy. Consolación has been converted to Connie, Cons, Sol, or Chona.
Filipino women with two given names such as María Cristina or María Victoria may choose to abbreviate the very common María (in honour of the Virgin Mary as Mª. (with a full stop), thus rendering these given names as Mª. Cristina or Mª. Victoria. Filipino males with two given names such as José Mariano or José Gerardo could follow the same practice of abbreviating Josés as Jo., but this is not as consistent. Some Muslims would follow conventions found in neighbouring Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia, abbreviating "Muhammad" (and its variants, viz. "Mohammed", etc.) as "Muhd." or "Mohd."
Another common practise rarely seen in other cultures is to elide or combine multiple given names into one nickname. The aforementioned María Cristina and María Victoria may thus acquire the nicknames Maricris and Marivic. Thus the Filipino names Maricel, Maritoni, Marijo, Maritess, and Maricon come from Maria Celia (or Celeste), Marie Antoinette, María Josefa (or Josefina), María Teresa, and María Concepción (or Consolación). The popular male nicknames Joma, Jomar, and Jomari are derived from concatenating José Mariano. Jestoni was derived from Jesús Antonio. These types of nicknames have become so common that they have also been registered as a child's official given name by the parents (e.g., Maricris Llamador Gunigundo or Maricris Ll. Gunigundo). The child Sidperl got his name when his parents combined their given names Isidro and Perlita, while Lucifer was named for parents Lucy and Fernando.
Sometimes, this practice results in a completely new, unprecedented given name. Vice-President Jejomar Binay's given name is a combination of Jesus-Joseph-Mary. A former senator's first name was Heherson, derived from He-Her-Son (from "He, Her [Virgin Mary]'s Son", referring to Jesus Christ). The unique, patriotic female names Luzviminda and its variants Minvilu and Vizminda come from concatenating the names of the country's three main island groups: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Some first names like Lodegrano or Lorimer may have been invented on the spot by the parents or derived from some partially remembered foreign term. Other coined first names have unusual spellings or spellings which are pronounced differently.
Honorifics and titles[edit]
Honorifics and titles are sometimes used in place of a person's actual name. Thus, the titles for family elders are often used by the younger persons and then adopted by the wider community: Apo and Lolo (grandfather) and Lola (grandmother) are used for senior elders; Tatay/Itay/Ama (father) or Tito/Tio/Tiong (uncle) and Nanay/Inay/Ina (mother) or Tita/Tia/Tiang for middle-aged elders; Manong or Kuya (elder brother) and Manang or Ate (elder sister) for anyone slightly older than the person speaking.
People in the community are often addressed by their military or police rank, professional titles or job descriptions, either with or without their names. Architect, Attorney, Engineer, Dok/Doctor, Direk/Director, Manager, Bisor (supervisor), Boss, Tsip/Chief, are used in the same way as Mister, Miss, Ms., or Mrs. especially when the addressee's name is not yet known by the speaker. This is often done as a sign of respect and in order to avoid giving offense. Even foreigners who work in the Philippines or naturalized Filipino citizens, including foreign spouses of Filipinos, who hold some of these titles and descriptions are addressed in the same way as their Filipino counterparts, although it may sound awkward or unnatural to some language purists who argue that the basic titles or either Sir and Ma'am/Madam are to be employed for simplicity.
Numerals and birth order patterns[edit]
People with the same name as their father are registered as Junior (abbreviated to Jr.) or numbered with Roman numerals (III, IV, V, etc.); their father adds Senior (Sr.) after his surname (i.e., Renato Reyes Ramos Sr. is the father of the brothers Renato Javier Ramos Jr. and Renato Javier Ramos III). Inevitably, the younger person tends to be nicknamed Junior or Jun permanently. One person's nickname became Third because his full name was Roberto Unson Ramos III (this is a fictional name for example purposes). Thus a family will necessarily bestow a variety of unofficial nicknames to distinguished the various people having with nearly identical official given names (e.g., Roberto Ramos Sr., Roberto Ramos Jr., Roberto Ramos III, Roberto Ramos IV, etc.).
The names of children in some families may follow a certain pattern, such as beginning with a certain letter of the alphabet, e.g. Diego Arnel, Diamond Amelia, Danford Arman, Dolores Allison, such that all their initials will be the same, i.e., DAZL if the middle name is Zulueta and the surname is Lim. One group of siblings was named after countries (Arabia, Australia, Aruba, Albania) while another was named after car trademarks (Ford, Mercedes, Bentley, Maserati). Other names seemed to have been taken from popular brand names, food, fruits, and flowers: Ramcar, Cherry Pie, Apple, Peachy, Pepsi, Brandy. World Champion boxer Manny Pacquiao named his two daughters Queen Elizabeth and Princess[16] while his wife is named Jinky. Former Philippine Senator Joker Arroyo (legal name) has a brother named Jack.[16]
Many nicknames are bestowed by parents or other elders on children while they are still toddlers. Examples are the numerous Boy, Toto/Totoy (young boy), Girlie, Nene (young girl), Baby and similar types of pet names given to people who received them as kids and carried them into adult life and seniority. They've carried the nickname all their lives and see no incongruity in being called Boy or Baby even when in their sixth decade. Some are diminutives of the actual name, such as Pepito for Pepe, Juanito for Juan (or the English form Johnny for John), and Nenita for Nena. Thus, a person used to being called Joselito (Little Joseph) as a child may retain the nickname as an adult even if he could already be called José or Joseph.
Reversals, indigenised names and Anglicisation[edit]
The Filipino given name Dranreb was invented by reversing the spelling of the English name Bernard, while someone calling himself Nosrac bears the legal name Carson. Joseph Ejército Estrada, Thirteenth President of the Philippines, began as a movie actor and received his nickname Erap as an adult; it comes from Pare spelled backwards (from Spanish compadre, fellow godparent) but now means mate or buddy in Filipino.[16]
An old custom is to replace or insert Filipino phonemes into a Spanish or English name: Mariano becomes Nano, Edwin becomes Aweng, Eduardo becomes Dwarding, Roberto becomes Berting, Ponciano becomes either Popoy, Onse, or Syano. Sometimes there is a tendency to convert a grand-sounding given name into something very ordinary, such as when John Paul becomes JayPee, Peter John becomes Peejong, Anthony becomes Tonyo, Ronald becomes Onad, María Elena becomes Ineng or Inyang, or Ambrosia becomes Brosya.
Complementary to this is the practise of Anglicising (with the implication of "modernising") a Spanish given name. Thus José Roberto becomes Joseph Robert (further shortened to Joebert). Eduardo becomes Edward and then Eddie or Eddieboy (sometimes further shortened to Daboy). Consolación becomes Connie; Corazón becomes Cora or Cory; Juan becomes John or Johnny; Teresita or Teresa becomes Terê, Tessa, or Tessie; and Gracia becomes Grace.
Monikers and progressional names[edit]
The variety of Filipino names, some of them with negative connotations in Anglicised form, often take foreigners by surprise.[16] Most Filipinos don't notice any negative English connotations, however, unless somebody points it out.[16]
Many Filipino celebrities and high-status personalities, such as actors and politicians, don't mind having such types of nicknames;[16] in fact, their nicknames are often more well-known than their actual given names. Film and television celebrity German Moreno doesn't mind using the nickname Kuya Germs (kuya = elder brother). National Artist of the Philippines for Fashion Design, José Pitoy Moreno, would never be recognized anywhere under his official given name, but so far, he is the only prominent Pitoy in the world.
The aforementioned Rafael Dominic C. Agbayani may receive an unofficial nickname such as Paeng, Domeng, Raffy, Nick, or Ranic that he could later change or keep for life.
Repetitions, h-insertion and letter substitution[edit]
Certain names like these have uncertain origin, or perhaps a purely native origin: Bang, Beng, Bing, Ding, Ging, Ting, Ming, Ping, Pepeng, Leng, Weng, Eng, Yengyeng, Bong, Dong, Pong, Tintin, Tingting, Tonton, Bingbing, Bingbong, Bongbong, Dingdong, Popong, Kiko, Kokoy, Kikay, Kitkit, Dada, Jaja, Jamjam, Jonjon, Jigjig, Jojo, Cheche, Chong, Choy, Doy, Loy, Ninoy, Noynoy, Nonong, Toying, Toyang, Yoyoy, Vicvic, Taktak, Bokbok, Micmac and many more.
Some Filipinos use creative spelling to further distinguish themselves, such as by adding the letter h or changing b to v to convert the commonplace Boy to the distinctive Vhoy. Thus creative spellings like Jhim, Bhess, or Jhun/Juhn. Filipinos with repetitive nicknames like Bingbing, Tintin, or Jamjam now also further shorten their nicknames by putting a numeral 2 after the first syllable, as if it had an exponent (Bingbing becomes Bing-squared): Bing2, Tin2, and Jam2.

We really love this particular Goji Juice. We have tried other brands, but find this to be the best tasting! It is very fruity and easy to drink alone or mixed into another drink. The product is comparable to the product found in stores, however it is much cheaper! We will definitely be purchasing more from iherb. We find this product does give us energy, help us sleep, and be balanced in general. We are very happy!
Really, this is the Best tasting Juice I've ever tasted!

I add a cap full into my morning yogurt along with Almased USA, Almased Synergy Diet, Mix it all together, sometimes adding a banana. I do my walking as I usually do every day, later a small dinner. In the evening I drink a bit more of the juice, and everybody is commenting on my skin, and how healthy i look. I feel great, and I lost three pounds.

Build a Stone-Look Trough
These stonelike containers
add character to any garden.
Form weathered-looking stone containers from hypertufa, a blend of cement, peat moss, and sand. It's easy, fun, and satisfying. Hypertufa containers -- or troughs -- make natural additions to the garden as well as handsome homes for alpine plants on a patio, deck, or balcony. Next thing you know, you'll be making them for all your friends and family.
June Skidmore of Mercer Island, Washington, creates and sells hypertufa troughs. As a gardener fond of alpine plants, June perpetuates the concept of trough gardening made popular in 1930s England. She explains how old stone troughs, once used to water farm horses, were turned into lovely container gardens, which were especially appropriate for small plants that might otherwise "get lost" in the garden. Other containers were made from shallow old stone sinks -- taken outdoors from the cottage and planted.
Although various methods exist for making hypertufa, June shares this technique, which she has found to work well and weather the seasons.

I am friendly, easy-going and out-going, love traveling, seeing new areas of the world, good food, wine, and all that nice stuff. I have a Chilean background and love a good winter escape into the Chilean summer that awaits me with peaches, cherries, apricots, and lots of great fruit, but most importantly, hot sunshine.

Peoria is known around the globe as the home of the Caterpillar Corp.
And marketers, when launching a new product, still ask "Will it play in Peoria?" a phrase that dates to the 1920s when Peoria was a major stop on the vaudeville circuit. Politicians and pollsters ask the same question.
But there's more to this central Illinois city than a metaphor and factories that make agricultural, construction and earth-moving equipment - some of it two stories tall.
Perched on the banks of the Illinois River, a major tributary of the Mississippi, Peoria has an attractive downtown with restaurants and galleries, live outdoor entertainment in the summer, a riverfront museum, numerous parks, a zoo, wildlife prairie park and a turn-of-the-century paddle-wheeler dubbed the "Spirit of Peoria."
From the spring through autumn, the downtown is home to the Riverfront Market, where farmers and crafters sell their wares.
The city is also on the Illinois River Road National Scenic Byway, which links more than 100 nature-based destinations and numerous communities throughout the Illinois River Valley.
Things to do
Peoria is rightly proud of being the world headquarters of Caterpillar Inc. (aka "CAT"), and more than 20,000 people in the area work for the company. It recently opened the 50,000-square-foot Caterpillar Visitor Center, 110 SW Washington St. on the city's riverfront.
If you drop by, you can learn about the company's history, sit in the seat of an antique tractor, pull the levers and feel what it was like to operate a Cat D8 tractor in the 1930s, design your own piece of Cat equipment and email it to yourself, hop on a simulator and operate a dozer or an excavator, and take a virtual ride to remote jobs sites around the globe.
The Peoria Riverfront Museum, 222 SW Washington St., is on the same block as the Caterpillar Center. It is affiliated with the Smithsonian and celebrates art, science, history and achievement. It is also home to a planetarium and all-digital theater.
The current major show at the museum features 120 photos by famed photographer Ansel Adams, some of which have rarely, if ever, been shown in public. Also included are drawings, camera equipment and personal items that belonged to the photographer of the West. The Peoria Riverfront Museum is the only venue in the Midwest to host this exhibit. It will run until Sept. 22.
The Peoria Zoo at Glen Oak Park, 2218 N. Prospect Rd., is open year round and is home to more than 100 species of animals from around the world, including several that are endangered.
The Wildlife Prairie State Park, is 10 miles west of downtown Peoria at 3826 N. Taylor Road, Hanna City. Often called a jewel of the Midwest, this 2,000-acre zoological park is home to more than 50 different species of animals that are native to Illinois, including wolves, bison, waterfowl, black bears, elk, cougar, otter and much more.
The Spirit of Peoria is a real paddle-wheeler that uses its paddles to move up and down the Illinois River, unlike some other modern riverboats that have cosmetic wheels. It was built in 1988 and is powered (but of course) by twin Caterpillar diesel engines. It can carry 487 passengers and offers a variety of cruises, ranging from afternoon outings to multiday trips to St. Louis.
The Peoria Asylum, 4100 W Pfeiffer Road, Bartonville, once housed nearly 3,000 "incurably insane" residents. Today, the asylum is closed. But legend says the grounds are haunted.
Every Friday and Saturday night, historical and paranormal and ghost hunting tours of the Bowen building are offered. Why, there is even one especially spooky overnight tour.
The Peoria area is home to three wineries: the Kickapoo Creek Winery, Mackinaw Valley Vineyard and the Willetts Winery. When the weather warms, you can stroll through the vineyards, picnic on the lawns and enjoy a glass of wine while listening to music at the Kickapoo and Mackinaw wineries. (The Willets Winery is in a restored building in downtown Manito, 25 miles south of Peoria.)
Just a few blocks off the riverfront is O'Brien Park, home to the Peoria Chiefs, a Class A minor-league team affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals. They play in a cozy, 6,000-seat, 10-year-old stadium.
If you're a fan of President Ronald Reagan, consider venturing 18 miles east to Eureka, home of Eureka College and the Reagan Museum and Peace Garden. The former president graduated from this small school in 1932 and headed off to California to become a Hollywood star and politician. He remained close to the school, and his family has donated many items. It's now estimated the museum is the largest center of Reagan memorabilia after the Reagan Presidential Library in California.
Places to stay
The Mark Twain Hotel, 225 NE Adams St., is a boutique hostelry in downtown Peoria overlooking the Illinois River. Room rates start at $129 a night.
The Port Galena Inn B&B, 4406 N. Galena Road, in the village of Peoria Heights, was built in 1936 and is just a few miles from downtown Peoria and sits directly on the Illinois River seawall. The village is home to Grand View Drive, which FDR is said to have called one of the prettiest drives in America. The B&B has four rooms including an executive suite, ranging from $60 to a night to $200 a night for the suite.
The Cornerstone Inn, across the river from Peoria at 111 N. Main St., Washington, was built in 1866 as the Denhart Banking Co. and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This recently renovated B&B has seven rooms and a restaurant.
Getting there
Peoria is 220 miles southwest of Milwaukee via I-43 and I-39.

On the axiomatic method and its recent applications to game theory and resource allocation
This is a study of the axiomatic method and its recent applications to game theory and resource allocation. It begins with a user's guide. This guide first describes the components of an axiomatic study, discusses the logical and conceptual independence of the axioms in a characterization, exposes mistakes that are often made in the formulation of axioms, and emphasizes the importance of seeing each axiomatic study from the perspective of the axiomatic program. It closes with a schematic presentation of this program. The second part of this study discusses the scope of the axiomatic method and briefly presents a number of models where its use have been particularly successful. It presents alternatives to the axiomatic method and answers criticisms often addressed at the axiomatic method. It delimits the scope of the method and illustrates its relevance to the study of resource allocation and the study of strategic interaction. Finally, it provides extensive illustrations of the considerable recent success that the method has met in the study of a number of new models.

There are lots of people born with a condition referred to as pseudohermaphroditism, but really, these ought not to concern you. The important thing to know is that there are kids born with ambiguous genitalia and others born with outward and inward sex parts that don't match. The default medical response was and mostly still is surgery, but the foundation on which that treatment was built basically, that you can raise anybody as any gender by strictly enforcing "appropriate" pronouns, toys, outfits, and love objects has crumbled in recent years. We hardly know anything, but we do know that most people are born with sense of their own gender; and while you can beat almost anyone into admitting anything, telling a little boy he's a little girl, no matter how insistently, will not make him a girl it will just make him angry and possibly crazy. We are learning, finally, to take people's word for it: I'm a girl, even in combat boots, and you are whatever it is you say you are.
Hope this helps.
Andrea is home with the kids and going stir-crazy. Write her a letter! Ask her a question! Send her your tedious e-mail forwards! On second thought, don't do that. Just ask her a question.

Imaginarium Paper Toy Theater by TektontenWatch
©2010-2016 Tektonten
This is a half size papercraft replica of the toy theater seen at the end of the movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus". A "curtain" for the stage is included and there are slots in the top so that if the figures are attached to sticks they can be moved about the stage just as was done in the movie. More info can be found here --> [link]
Hi there..how do i purchase one of these? I tried to follow your link to download..but it will not work...am i doing something wrong..any help would be appreciated..this is one of my FAVORITE movies..and to have one of these is a dream!!!!!! xo jet
I checked all the links and everything is working fine. You might be doing something wrong. After following the link above to Tektonten Papercraft click on the word "download" in the blog post. This will take you to 4shared. If you are still unable to download, e-mail me at the address listed on the profile on my blog.
Ok i will try again..after i sent you a message i tried again..but in order to download the site wants you to sign and for their program? Unless that is right? Thanks for responding to this message..i will keep trying..your amazing by the way for creating this!!!! You have made every fan of this film very HAPPY!
O-M-G. You're the best!
It looks great.
Yayyyyyy!!! why not a better resolution T_T??
anyway >w< luv it!!
anyway >w< luv it!!
I did not recreate the graphics myself, but edited screen shots from the DVD of the movie, thus the limitations on the resolution. At the relatively small scale of the finished model, you will find that the lower resolution doesn't make that much difference in the quality.
D< my goodnes such a great job so \3 I just love it TT
I meant the resolution of the photo TT but it=s ok anyway
I meant the resolution of the photo TT but it=s ok anyway
Ooh, you meant the photo. I went with a lower light level without a flash trying to bring out more of the 3D effect of the layers on the stage so it turned out a little more grainy that I would have liked.
It is very well done.
I love this movie, it is one of my favourites.
I love this movie, it is one of my favourites.
Oh wow. Stunning. It's also a funny coincidence that I have this in my deviation stack, as my sister just watched the movie last night. I'd been saying to her, after seeing Terry Gilliam's animation in Monty Python, we really must see Imaginarium. Unfortunately, she watched it without me.
this looks amazing look like the real thing
Thanks. I made use of some images from the movie itself and also referenced some the conceptual artwork for the theater that was done before the movie started production.

The Aura of Boxing
Thu 6 March - Mon 31 March
Free / Mezzanine and Lower Café
Similar events
PRIVATE VIEW: Thu 6 Mar, 6.30-8pm
Please RSVP
The Aura of Boxing is a new photographic study by Max Kandhola, into the aesthetic and moral conflicts of the boxer within the spatial interior of the pugilistic landscape. Published by Dewi Lewis publishing, December 2013, the book contains 96 colour and black & white photographs, a new commissioned essay by Professor David Scott.
Max Kandhola photographed boxers at different weight divisions, amateur, professional, unknown boxers, contenders, champions and in the pursuit of the odyssey of the boxing journeyman. The Aura of Boxing intertwines between the boxer and their environment, at the peripheral Max followed three established boxers as a point of reference, which provides a legacy and provenance of boxing histories.
Julius Francis, a four-times British Heavyweight and Commonwealth champion, Kandhola first photographed in 2000 just before his fight with Mike Tyson; Howard 'Clakka' Clarke who fought at Madison Square Garden for the IBF Light Middleweight Title – he lost, after which his career significantly declined, with Howard winning only one fight out of his next seventy. He retired in 2007; Robert McCracken, who won the British Light Middleweight title in 1994 and the Commonwealth title in 1995 – currently McCracken is Performance Director for the British Olympic team, and personal coach to the current IBF and WBA super-middleweight champion Carl Froch.
The Aura of Boxing will be launched at three venues in 2014. Three distinct exhibitions will present Kandhola's working methodologies in photographing The Aura of Boxing, each venue will provide spatial challenges in its installation within a gallery or industrial environment.
New Art Exchange will exhibit the black & white series; Rich Mix will present the colour series and at Format/Quad, The Chocolate Factory, Max Kandhola will present large format Contact Sheets. The exhibition will represent edited photographs from the book and also photographs that have not yet been published.
The Aura of Boxing The Colour Series
Colours are kinds of light, all earthy colours such as black, earth, leaden brown have relation to Saturn. Sapphire and airy colours and those which are always green belong to Mercury. Purple, darkish and golden mixed with silver belong to Jupiter. Fiery flaming bloody and iron colours to Mars. Golden saffron and bright colours the sun and white curious green and ruddy colours belong to venues. The elements also have their colours. They resemble celestial bodies of colour, especially Living Things. Cornelius Agrippa, quote taken from Chroma Derek Jarman.
With thanks to Nottingham Trent University, the generous support of Mark Sealy and all at Autograph ABP.
As part of this exhibition there will be two free performances:

El Toro Memorial Park, Lake Forest
Most accounts of track-and-field Olympian Florence Griffith Joyner describe her as "flamboyant," one of the qualities that made her a media star in the 1980s, in addition to her all-time records.
Joyner, known as "Flo-Jo," won gold medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter races and in the 400-meter relay in the 1988 Seoul Games.
Controversy surrounded Joyner's death, and there was wide speculation - but no proof - that she may have used performance-enhancing drugs. Her death was ruled the result of suffocation during an epileptic seizure, according to Salon.com.

About seven o'clock Saturday morning fire broke out in the wing of a stone building on Benham street. The blaze was discovered by Ben Zimmerman and Chas. Dascomb, who gave the alarm and aroused the occupant of the building who was apparently not aware of the fire. In a few minutes the wooden wing of the building was enveloped in flames and the roof of the stone structure took fire. The fire company responded promptly and soon had a stream on the building. However, the roof of the stone building was partly burned before the fire was put out.
