Everyone including Dr Chong did a very nice job.
This office is very professional and kid-friendly!
We were extremely happy with the time and care that we were given during the visit. Our care provider took time to clarify some of our misconceptions about our son's condition. She was willing to fit us in for testing the same day as our initial visit due to an unexpected cancellation, as well as expedite a follow on visit for additional testing. She was concerned not only for our son's health as well as for the implications of the testing with regard to his future. We feel very fortunate to have been seen by her.
Dr Chong did a very good job!!!
Dr. Chong is very good at what she does. She is very thorough.
Dr Chong is an excellent allergist we are thrilled she is now our doctor!
We loved Dr. Chong and her obvious expertise in the area of allergies. The gentleman that took our son for a breathing test was also very friendly. Overall our first experience at Children's Hospital North has been wonderful.
Dr. Chong is the best specialist I've seen. She always listens to me and cares about my condition.
I think Dr. Chong is fantastic and I'm grateful for her care. She explains things really thoroughly.
My husband and I can't say enough about the care that Dr. Chong provides for our daughter. We never feel rushed. We feel as though she gives us her full attention. We come in with a list of questions and she answers each question knowledgably and gracefully. She never makes us feel like we have a silly concern. We feel blessed to have had our daughter under Dr. Chong's care since she was diagnosed with allergies and will certainly recommend her to anyone.
The content of the appointment was great, and the resident and primary allergist were both knowledgeable and helpful. It just took way to long to get the information, and it's hard for a 5 year old to wait patiently.
Dr. Chong is amazing! We travel 3 1/2 hours just to see her. She is very knowledgeable and super sweet! The nurse Bonnie was sweet as well! Always a good experience at Children's!

Credit card acceptance sees airlines paying high merchant fees. The fees are numerous and vary from country to country. Some are fixed amounts. Some are percentages of the transaction value. Understanding what exactly is being charged is a daunting task. Without a thorough understanding of this complexity, airlines can be exposed to unnecessarily high fees.
IATA has partnered with CreditCard Optimisation Ltd or COPS, which offers a unique and innovative service to identify and reduce commission fees and service charges. COPS innovative methods allow to benchmark all fees assessed to a merchant against a proprietary database to define optimal fees.
In addition, the IATA CreditCard Optimisation Service will regularly renegotiate card acceptance merchant agreements in order to reduce commission and service fees for the benefit of all industry.
IATA COPS is a consulting service for airlines. An IATA COPS expert works with the airline onsite to identify all hidden charges and fees. An analysis of the data collected is then carried out offsite, and a report of target savings is presented to the airline. Negotiations with the credit card companies are done by IATA COPS on behalf of the airline.
The fee for this service is paid only if the savings are achieved and is percentage based.

In these pages, The Muse Of Literature explores authors and works that are strongly associated with specific forms of literature. Examples of authors and works of literature characterized by their form are novelists, short story writers, literary dramatists, poets, essayists, and their principal works. The Muse also explores issues and questions related to the subject of literary form.
In this feature, The Muse has two primary objectives: 1) to explore works of literature classified by form, 2) to explore issues and questions that arise in connection with literary form.
What literary form is not
There are many different kinds of writing which are not literature. In this feature, The Muse is only interested in forms that appear in literary compositions. What does it take for a written work to qualify as a literary composition?
See The Muse's definition of literature: click here.
What is literary form? Here's The Muse's definition:
Every well-organized, well-written work of literature has a form. The word form comes from Middle English word forme. from Old French, and from the Latin forma, meaning beauty. The ancients considered form to be beautiful in and of itself; it imparted beauty to a work of art.
The term literary form applies to both the notion or idea of literary form and to specific literary forms:
Every literary form is the orderly method of arrangement and presentation of a literary work's parts or ideas; it is the course of its reasoning, its development, and the manner in which its elements are coordinated.Literary forms contain, fit together, and integrate the parts of a literary work into a complete, cohesive whole. A work's form is the guiding principle that determines the manner in which it unfolds and the elements that propel its evolution from beginning to end.
Virtually every literary form identified by literary specialists has a name or label which, by convention, has been accepted by most or all literary experts. Many of these names are familiar to the public and are used by critics, publishers, and others to help identify works for evaluation or for sale. For example:
Here, The Muse is pleased to be able to offer you a few examples of specific literary forms to help clarify your understanding of the nature of form.
Specific literary forms can be related to each other in what is called a schema of literary forms. Schemas of literary forms are pictorial hierarchical arrangements of specific literary forms and subforms that show the relationships between them.
Since specific literary forms can be related to each other in a schema, The Muse has chosen to achieve two goals with one stroke. The Muse presents examples of specific literary forms in a sample schema in the hope that the schematic arrangement of specific forms will shed additional light on the meaning of each specific form.
The Muse Of Literature invites you to explore literary works classified and organized by the form in which they are written.
The basic structure of the novel novel is a long prose narrative that usually describes fictional characters and events in the form of a sequential story. The novel is a literary form that has its roots in the fields of medieval and early modern romance, and in the tradition of the novella. The novella, an Italian word used to describe short stories, is the 18th century source of the present generic English term novel.
Novel writing is one of the most creative kinds of writing in the world; sadly, it has also proved to be one of the most trashy forms of writing. Good and bad novels were written during the earliest periods in the life of the novel; many creative and uncreative ones were produced in the 20th century; and many more are being produced in the 21st century.
The public considers the novel to be a stable literary form that has experienced little change in modern times. But literati who have studied the subject realize that the novel's form and substance have evolved continuously since it was invented, and are evolving even now.
The Muse Of Literature offers a feature that explores this creativity by examining a few of the ways novels have changed in the hands of highly creative modern novelists, the original forms they've devised, and the forces that have impelled their change.
Hence the feature title: Novel Novels.
A pointer is a piece of advice on how to succeed in a specific area. The aim of this feature is to provide a few quick and simple pointers to visitors who want to understand and experience a poem more intensely. The Muse Of Literature offers visitors a few things to think about when approaching a poem so as to get the most from reading or hearing it.
At the feature titled The Sounds of Poetry, The Muse Of Literature explores the nature and significance of poetic rhyme.
Why explore the literary form and structure of rhyme?
Rhyme permeates our daily existence. We encounter it in virtually every walk of life. Rhyme is not just the stuff of poets; we hear or see it in jingles, TV ads, posters, movies, popular songs, comedy routines, jokes, greeting cards, and in many other corners of life. Almost everywhere we turn, there's something to hear or read that rhymes.
Rhyme affects us powerfully, even though we often don't realize it. Everyday it motivates us to buy or sell something, travel someplace, or do something that helps or hinders. It sends us to the voting booth, primed to elect one or another official or to vote a political party in or out of office; it motivates us to take a job or quit a job, sign up for a tour of duty in the Army or Navy, or to run out the door to do a chore for mom or pop, or for honey-baby.
Understanding and dealing with rhyme as an artistic technique is a rare, even esoteric, practice reserved for specialists, teachers, or students doing homework assignments. For the rest of us, it remains something of a mystery. Even among students seldom is the subject of rhyme brought out into daylight, inspected, analyzed, and understood in a simple, straightforward, and open manner, such as one might analyze and understand a short story or a novel or a magazine article. Some of us explore a limited selection of poems, but seldom is rhyme objectively examined as a topic in its own right.
This feature is in an early stage of development. Return periodically to see future additions.
The technical aspects of any written work are its properties and techniques as seen from a literary and language perspective.
All writing incorporates and is made up of technical elements like meter, form, sound (rhyme), and figures of speech. Techniques and language elements like these are common to all fields of writing; all writers use them, deliberately or subconsciously. Any particular work can by analyzed, understood, described, and classified by the combination of the writing elements it incorporates.
In this feature, The Muse Of Literature explores writing and writings from a technical and design point of view—structure, organization, tone, style, language constructions, and all the other technical aspects that make for coherent, expressive, and effective writing, or its opposite.

CONSPICUOUS among the younger modernists were the experimenters with symbol images for the American machine-age architectural and industrial constructions which contributed an outstanding aspect to contemporary life. Stefan Hirsch and Niles Spencer, among them, based their painting upon an elementary Cubism, which like Picasso Houses in Horta and Factories in Horta, reduces the scene to its simplest terms as a pattern of three-dimensional plane relationships.
Of his paintings of this order, which extended over a considerable period, Stefan Hirsch Lower Manhattan, dating from 1921, is the most notable. This is a complex design of cubed forms from which all particularization of surface, texture, and shapes has been drastically eliminated, and in which a totality of effect has been achieved that presents to the perception an idea of the massed power of metropolitan constructional complexes. The less familiar New England Town, owned by the Worcester Art Museum, shows a more conventional scene reduced to the terms of abstract design. House and pool, plant forms, and the small constructions and equipment are reduced to an elemental unity. Much of the interest derives from the suggestion of machined shapes added to by the reflection of the smooth surfaces in metal-hard water.
Stefan Hirsch was born in Germany in 1899, but he has spent most of his life in this country and received here his education, which has been to a large extent self-education. "I was much affected at the

BPS Engineered Drum Smoker Kit
We have all experienced the frustration of grilling small or fragile foods on your grill or smoker such as peppers, shrimp, bacon weaves, kebobs, fish, etc. Often enough, food will cook onto your grates and tear once you try to flip it, or simply fall through the grates down into the fire.
These issues are a thing of the past with Big Poppa Mats. Big Poppa Mats are a teflon-coated fiberglass mesh cloth that you can lay flat on top of your cooking grate. Simply wrap food that you want to cook to keep it from sticking, or just lay down the food you want to cook on the Big Poppa Mats.
Big Poppa Mats have been FDA certified for food contact, are easy to clean and will last for many years. To clean and care for your Big Poppa Mats all you need to do is clean them in the kitchen sink or outside with a garden hose.
These mats are rated for a maximum temperature of 500F and will burn when exposed to direct flame, we have designed them for use in indirect cooking only, so please exercise caution.
The Big Poppa Mats featured on this page measure in at a versatile 19"x14.5", usable on many different grills or smokers, but they are specifically fit to the MAK 2 Star cold smoking chamber/warming drawer.

Here it is, folks -- the first trailer for the upcoming PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title, Soul Calibur IV. The trailer is called a 'teaser' for a reason, as there's very little to see here.
The video does confirm that the game is a next-generation title that will be available on both Sony and Microsoft platforms. It also confirms that the game is not coming out this year, either. And finally, we have confirmation that Ivy's breasts are still enormous. Thank God.
The August issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (on sale July 3) promises to spill the beans on the title, along with its Wii cousin, Soul Calibur Legends.

values and customs of societies. The external forms, attention
given to ornamentation, relation of spaces, and spatial settings of
buildings suggest not only the importance of the structures, but also
the nature of the activities that take place within. They also reveal, in
some measure, the ethos of the creators. In Texas churches and chap-
els, the characteristics of the times and the values of the builders are
both reflected.
The architecture of ecclesiastical structures is an extensive subject.
Although reference will be made to Spanish and Mexican work, this
study focuses primarily upon the middle and latter parts of the nine-
teenth century. It also emphasizes urban churches, albeit several rural
churches and urban synagogues are included to provide perspective.
Church and chapel building, of course, was an integral aspect of
the earliest Hispanic struggles to colonize those frontiers of northern
New Spain now in or near Texas. During this period, the Roman
Catholic church provided a means for civilizing and controlling the
frontier.? The mission system, established for the purpose of Chris-
tianizing the natives and making them loyal Spanish subjects, pro-
duced a number of fine churches, all in styles reminiscent of Mexico
and Spain.
After Mexico won independence, Catholicism continued to be the
national religion. Adoption of this faith was one of the requirements
imposed upon immigrants, in an attempt to develop Mexican loyal-
ties. Be that as it may, it appears that church building languished dur-
ing the Mexican period, although the population increased. While
laws authorized the collection of property taxes to finance the con-
struction of churches in the new towns, little new ecclesiastical work
of pretension resulted.2 In areas previously settled, some mission as

A couple of days ago the Channel9 team posted interviews recorded during the Route64 kick-off event:
Over the next few days we'll bring you video from the Route64 Training tour when it visited Redmond.
Today is the second day of the first Route64 training in Europe. Unfortunately I had no chance to travel to the UK and see for myself. Colleagues, attending the event, already sent emails that make me believe it is at least as good as the US events we ran so far.

I have some xml encoded as UTF-8 and I want to write this to a Text field in SQL Server. UTF-8 is byte compatible with Text so it should be able to do this and then read out the xml later still encoded as utf-8.
However special characters such as ÄÅÖ, which are multi-byte in UTF-8 get changed on the way.
I have code like this:
byte[] myXML = ...
SqlCommand _MyCommand = new SqlCommand(storeProcedureName, pmiDB.GetADOConnection());
_MyCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
_MyCommand.Parameters.Add("xmlText", SqlDbType.Text);
_MyCommand.Parameters["xmlText"].Value = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(myXML);
My guess is that changing the xml byte array to string changes the special characters to UTF-16 characters which are then changed again to the Latin1. And Latin1 ÖÄÅ are not the same as UTF-8 ÖÄÅ.
How can I write the UTF-8 xml bytes to the Text field without them getting changed?

The End of Love (2013) Trailer
Trailer for The End of Love courtesy of Apple.
When the mother of his two-year-old son Isaac suddenly passes away, struggling actor Mark (played by writer/director Mark Webber) is forced to grapple with his ability to grow up. As he kindles a relationship with a young single mother (Shannyn Sossamon), he begins to realize that he can no longer remain in denial about the real-life consequences his choices have on Isaac (Isaac Love, Webber's real-life son). Set against the backdrop of Los Angeles, The End of Love is an intimate and stunningly honest portrait of a young father in transition between the life he's been working for and the one that's waiting for him.

Respond to Review of Eight Treasures Vegetarian
by bandita
Review: The menu is what first got my attention. There is so much variety and for a reasonable price. However, whatever they bring you before you order, don't expect it to be complementary. They brought us tea, napkins and peanuts, and everything was charged. The $5 tea surprised us the most. However, the meals were tasty. My friends and I all shared our dishes, and all tasted great. My favorite was a fish dish my friend ordered...can't remember the name but it had a bbq taste. My friends favorite was the monkeyhead mushrooms. My other friend enjoyed the black pepper chicken. He actually ordered a different type of fish dish, but it never arrived but we were all fine with that because we ended up too full. They immediately brought us the receipt, before our desserts came, so we reminded them that were were charged for them, and they confirmed that the desserts were on the way. About 20 min later, my friend went to ask them the status, and turns out they forgot about it. We saw them take the desserts out of the fridge and walk to the kitchen (obviously, to put them in nice silverware). We were surprised about that too because how can they forget when we reminded them at the time we got the receipt and paid our bill, especially when it was just a matter of pulling it out of the fridge instead of actually having to go out of the way to make it? We didn't care for the mango dessert...tasted syrupy, like straight from a can. The honeydew sago on the other hand was delicious. Tasted like vanilla ice-cream, with a hint of melon, and some sago pearls among other ingrediants. The waitress also didn't understand English very well. Fortunately, my friend can speak a little. It's a nice, relaxing setting, and upstairs where you can look down at all the hustle and bustle. Well, even though we didn't care for the service very much, especially since there really wasn't an excuse because it wasn't very busy, the food was good, price is reasonable (most meal was about $10 for a small size, which was a pretty good size portion), and the setting is nice, so I'll still rate it a 4.

The HFC Mission:
Build Life Champions
"A'ohe hana nui ke alu 'ia"
No task is too big when done together
As a police officer, coach, father and a husband I've learned that our culture or way of doing things have drastically changed. I see that our community tolerates things that we would have been disciplined for in the past. My heart aches when I see all of the evils in our community and watching our youth become tainted by this new culture. Our standards have been lowered to the point that building our kids and passing on the "old school" values of aloha and respect has become difficult.
Before the birth of Hawaii Football Club, my intent was to protect my son and his friends and create a safe environment to learn football. Since then, it has emerged into an even greater mission, to help my Hawai'i community. With over 4 years of trials and tribulations it has led to this: the 1st Life Champion Senior Bowl showcasing high-school seniors from over 30 schools in the state of Hawaii! This event is truly special for this experience honors the game I love, unites our Hawaii communities and provides positive opportunities for our youth. We are truly honored to have this event take place at Paiea Stadium, a place named after the ali'i who united and ruled the islands during a time of great cultural change. What a way to honor him as we are trying our best to do the same.
This task or mission to "build life champions" was not done alone. It took a team of "warriors" to undergo this task! Mahalo nui loa to Aunty Doris Sullivan of Pacific Islands Athletic Alliance (PIAA). Her unconditional support, mentoring and love for our Hawaii youth has been an integral part of making this event a success! To my board of directors: Clement Malani, for being my "big brother" in all my decision making and helping me to stay grounded with keeping to our Hawaiian ways. Chad Ikei of Ikei Sports Hawaii for your trust, for believing in me and for moving back to the islands to help our Hawaii youth. You are an invaluable member of this community and I am honored to work alongside you! Anthony Arceneaux our youngest member, thank you for your professionalism, compassion and energy…definitely a role model for our youth! To our board advisors: Coach Brian Derby, Vince Passas and Reggie Torres, mahalo for your wisdom, your support (especially when times get rough) and constant words of encouragement! Mahalo Dr. Michelle Mitchell and Lloyd Narimatsu for imparting your expertise that helps keep our athletes safe.
Last, but not least…a very special mahalo to my family. To my brilliant wife Celeste Pule, I love you! Your constant faith in me and unending support in all our endeavors have given me the confidence to make things happen! Thank you to my keiki Jordan, Moani and Keala Jr. for your patience and understanding over these past years. I know it wasn't easy having our family time compromised. I hope in time you will see that the sacrifices we made as a family will help to create a better future for you!

beautiful...totally inspiring.
I really love this couple of paintings! The contrast between the roses, the pose, the colours..well, I'm in love with them
She's beautiful! I adore her dress, and her hair looks lovely.
This is amazing! Please do one of an angel just like that sitting by a fountain with her feet dipped into the water with only one side of her face showing ^^ Pretty please? It would mean a lot!!
In the small thumbnail she looks like she is puking over a drinking fountain after a long hangover from a "hell" of a party.
Great work!

We know it's hard to believe, but your Adobe Reader and/or Acrobat software is in need of some patching. That's according to Adobe, which is warning users of a critical vulnerability affecting Reader and Acrobat versions 9.3.4 and earlier.
That's the bad news. The even even worse news is that the vulnerability, when exploited, could crash your machine and potentially allow an attacker to seize control, Adobe says. And the really bad news is that this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
Ready for the good news? Not so fast, we haven't covered the no-good terrible news. This nasty security hole -- the one the bad guys know about and are currently exploiting -- can't yet be plugged, though if it's any consolation, Adobe promises it's "in the process of evaluating the schedule for an update to resolve this vulnerability." Comforting, isn't it?
Alright, we're finally ready for some good news, and here it is. You don't have to use Adobe products to read those PDF files. One of our favorite free alternatives is Foxit's free Reader program available here .

I told my husband to get on this site and find something for us to make for dinner. This is what he came up with. WOW!!! What powerful and intense flavor. Your stew has a very hearty and savoury flavor that kept us coming back for more. Thank-you Nurse Di. This is going to be something we will make over and over again.
I was tired of the same old stew with potatoes and carrots, so when I saw this recipe I thought I'd give it a try. I don't really care for bell peppers and chicken is just alright and my boyfriend doesn't really care for stews or sausage but there was something about this recipe. I'm so glad I tried it, it was INCREDIBLE, even my BF said it was a keeper! The only thing I changed was I substituted a TBS of Cayenne pepper for the paprika (personal preference). If you haven't tried this recipe you absolutely have to! next time I think I am going to add some more broth and some small pieces of pasta
WOW!!! I am a Cajun, and THIS is Cajun cookin' at it's best!! I just wish I could give it more than 5 stars. The only change I made was a personal preference. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into thirds. Next time, I'm doubling this one so I will have plenty frozen up for extra meals. Thanks, NurseDi for another winner!!!
This aroma was wonderful. I cut up chicken breasts and used spicy italian sausage b/c thats what I had. First night served over noodles, second night spices melded and served on rice (highly recommend rice). This is wonderful! Thank You!
A friend made this recently and I loved it. I had to have the recipe. I made it yesterday and my dh loved it too. This is a keeper and a go-to. Enjoy!
I made this for my dh and my father and they loved it!! It does make a lot but leftovers are wonderful. Thanks for posting!
Love love LOVE this recipe! Thanks so much for posting. This makes a lot, but everyone will eat till they're ready to pop so you may not have many leftovers. I followed it to the letter and it was perfect. Found all the ingredients at Super Wal-Mart, even the wine (used the $1.97 stuff, not bad at all). Great with hot french bread & served over brown rice.
This was superb! Really good over rice! I don't care for bell peppers, but went ahead and used them anyway - and it was fab! You need them to round out the flavors. I used the chicken thighs, polish sausage (b/c I couldn't find andouille) and ended up using 2 lbs. of shrimp, just so I wouldn't have any remaining that might go bad if I didn't use it ASAP. Really wonderful recipe!! Not too difficult to make, just takes some time to let everything come together like it needs to. Will absolutely be making this again!
YUM. This was awesome. I more than doubled it just to make sure we'd have leftovers. Used Italian sausages instead of andouille, added a couple handfuls of crumbled bacon, and added celery in with the onions and peppers. Thanks, Nurse Di, for a definite keeper!

We all know zombies are shambling, mindless, chemical/virus pumped up reanimated corpses driven by a need to eat all the squishy bits off of you and your family. But zombies working for the public good?
That's exactly what a geeky entrepreneur named Mark Siwak is trying to do in the Motor City. Mr. Siwak and the Z World Detroit team have started up an Idiegogo campaign to open up a zombie themed experience park on 200 acres of the cities abandoned and dilapidated warehouse district and surrounding abandoned neighborhoods.
The idea is to have a post-apocalyptic space where visitors and a couple hundred of their friends and complete strangers, can spend a night running away from the shambling undead, finding supplies, and generally surviving until daylight. The campaign, while admittedly could use some help in the illustration area, is pretty well thought out. While at first mention this sounds like it should end up on the 'wtf?' scale these guys have looked at a lot of angles on this and if they can get the funding, might just be able to pull it off. I'm a little skeptical about the patch system and think that might need to get rethought because if patches equal my life I will be defending them, ahem, strenuously. But also do zombies now have the pull to sustain a long term project like this?
Would I try spending a night in Z World Detroit? Heck yeah! So hopefully these guys get their campaign funded and sometime soon we can all go crawling through abandoned buildings in the dead of night sacrificing our slowest friends to a ravening horde!
Here's a video they put out about their campaign give it a watch and if you feel like donating to the cause their Indiegogo page is HERE.
This idea may be getting its first test drive this side of the pond, however, this week at – drum roll please- San Diego Comic Con! The Walking Dead Escape will be taking over San Diego's Petco Park and is an interactive 55 minute walker dodging run to your evac out of the contamination zone. With tickets available for spectators as well as participants that will crawl, climb, and sprint to safety (the first 10,000 survivors to make it to the evac zone will get a free issue #100 variant Walking Dead comic) and the chance to volunteer to be a walker and get your zombie make over from Greg Nicotero and KNB EFX this is the zombie event of the summer. This is practically a perfect dry run for the idea of Z World and if it gains near the level of success that I think it should then this should really give a boost to the Z World idea.
And if that's not enough for you a company in England, Wish Co.UK, ran an immersive zombie outbreak simulation similar to the Walking Dead Escape last month in an abandoned mall in Reading that was so successful at approximately $230 a pop (£139) that they have added a new manor house encounter and more dates for the mall one. It looks like Z World Detroit may not be so far-fetched an idea after all.
Here is some great video ABC did of the mall encounter. It looks likes like they had a blast.
So- are you ready for the coming outbreak or do you need to sign up for some training?
What babe? The one growing inside our very own Janelle! Yup America's very own geeky sweetheart who has been giving us her eye view is expecting another little face hugger to burst out of her chest in a little over a month. You know what this means-
Baby stuff round up!! *insert Kermit arm flailing*
So first up on our adventure into geeky baby land is… drumroll please…
Mama Twiggy with adorable Superman and Batman diaper covers! What baby wouldn't love to flash these cute little drawers?
Disclaimer: superhero diaper covers will not make your baby a billionaire playboy nor give them the ability to fly. You can thank us later.
Hoping that your little one will follow in the Watchmen's footsteps? Shannon Sorenson Designs has pint sized vigilante onesies .
So far these don't appear to come in adult sizes, darn it!
Speaking of onesies- Geekling Designs has some seriously uber gear for the younglings!
Seriously where was that last one when my youngest was born?
And last but certainly not least Morning Tempest Studios has some of the coolest embroidery I have seen in a long time. The designs are available for shirts, bibs, and hoodies and are so full of awesome it's ridiculous!
And yes folks these do come in adult sizes! I personally recommend checking out the fairytale series- they are slightly creepy like all good fairytales should be with great artwork.
So stop on over to Janelle's column and leave her some geeky love for the little squirmling while you still can- it's only a matter of time until the baby and her son form a rebel alliance against the evil parental empire!
Summer is upon us.
Summer is the gilded moments of our youth when we got to break free of the shackles of the education machine and spend our days and nights battling evil through the hills, valleys, and hidden caverns of Hyrule. Okay, maybe that was just me.
However as our thoughts turn to the long sunny days of our youth, as they invariably do when we see children running free while we are cooped up in our cars commuting to or from work, it is hard not to notice that things have definitely changed. The advances in technology have invaded nearly every aspect in our lives. The world is so different today than when we were kids that even Marty McFly would freak out a little. Heck, they have even created and marketed a couple of the more futuristic items from the Back to the Future franchise such as the automatic shoes and, most recently, working hover boards (I know- squee!). Pop culture has become swamped in a tide of tech and geeks have been riding the wave to glory.
Summer is the most anticipated time of the year for movie releases and steadily titles based around comic books, video games, and books in the sci-fi/fantasy genres have begun to outnumber and outshine more 'regular' titles. The most buzzed about movies, and also the highest grossing, have been pure geek candy and they have been sweet. Just ask around and see how many people didn't see Avengers and want to have its babies.
Ok maybe that's just me again. Ahem.
Just look at the top ten all time grossing movies and it's practically a who's who of great geeky films!
|Lifetime Gross
|Year Released
|Marvel's The Avengers
|The Dark Knight
|Star Wars Episode I
|Star Wars
|Shrek 2
|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
|The Lion King
|Total $$ on 'Geeky' Movies
Source: http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/domestic.htm
Look at those numbers! Over 3.6 BILLION DOLLARS in geeky movies and that is just the top 10. I would also like to point out that this list is over the lifetime gross of the movies so Avengers coming in at number three is only temporary since it hasn't even left theaters yet.
We, folks, have gone mainstream. We are a marketplace force.
But still- with comic convention attendance climbing, geeky movies dominating the box office, and having the latest tech is a serious status symbol it looks like the gilded age of geekdom we longed for in our youth has come. May the summer of the Geek never end!
Here are some of the geeky* titles we can wait impatiently for-
The Amazing Spiderman
The Dark Knight Rises
The Watch
Total Recall
The Bourne Legacy
The Expendables 2
Resident Evil: Retribution
Hotel Transylvania
*I excluded the majority of the horror or strictly paranormal movies coming out, not because they are not geeky but because they deserve a category of their own.

Unfortunately I have a husband who works in the corporate world, soooooo..... I tell him to bring his shirts to the cleaners... I hate ironing!! Luckily these days dress codes have relaxed a bit. When he has to me with the big bosses for lunch though, he needs his crisply ironed shirts! deleted 26-30 0 May 27, 2012 SEND TO A FRIEND: Me Too Your Response Please respond with authenticity, support, and respect Cancel You can join Experience Project now!

Last week, Everything Channel hosted XChange Solutions Provider 2011, a conference for channel professionals. The conference brings together top solution providers from both established and emerging companies for a four-day event that provides insight into emerging channel trends, challenges and opportunities.

The theme for this year's conference was Succeeding in the New IT Economy, and cloud computing was certainly one of the hottest topics at the event. Channel execs and press alike took notice of IBM's new Cloud Computing Specialty and Software Value Plus Cloud Authorization (which will debut later this year). Perhaps the highlight of the conference for IBM, however, was the 2011 CRN Channel Champions Awards. The awards, which are based on the opinions of over 2,000 CRN readers, recognize overall satisfaction with vendors across several criteria, including technical satisfaction, support satisfaction and financial factors. Based on the results, awards were handed out in 25 categories.

This year, IBM was recognized in three of those categories:

Overall Winner, Midrange Servers
Overall Winner, Middleware Software
Overall Winner, Backup and Recovery Software

Accoring to CRN, IBM swept all three criteria in the Middleware and Backup and Recovery categories. IBM's Kevin Quarantello and Shaun Jones were there to accept the awards.

Thank you, IBM Business Partners, for your continued support! Together with you, we look forward to continued success in the new IT economy.

Best Discount Service (2010)
Through a collective buying process, Groupon, a national phenomenon that launched a Denver site last year, is able to offer a new deal from a local business every single day, which might vary daily among discounted restaurant meals, dog-training classes, exercise sessions, lube jobs, spa services and more. But it all hinges on the level of participation: If enough Groupon subscribers sign on for the day's deal, it's theirs for the taking; they can buy the deal online and print the Groupon voucher online. If not, well, try, try again.

The deuce was revived in 1976 as a Federal Reserve Note. Although they are still legal tender, their red seals and serial numbers make them great collector items.
Series 1963 $2 United States Notes were printed in fairly large numbers, and they saw heavy usage until the type was discontinued in the 1960's. These are notes that cannot be placed in a better grade range due to some detraction. They could be an off quality cull, a nice note with inked writing, tears, or stains. Or they could be any combination of the above. If there is an issue with the note, regardless of how big or small, then this is where you'll find it.

Hooded cat litter box
posted 8 years ago
This litter box tends to reduce the mess of cat litter by keeping the sand inside. Cats seem to like the extra privacy although some need to get used to the idea of going into an enclosed box.
Pros: Keeps litter and odor inside,
Cons: Large size

Cute box
posted 7 years ago
Cats need a larger litter box to really be comfortable. But this one is kind of neat because there's a scoop storage cubby on the back.
Pros: Cute box, convenient scoop storage
Cons: Could be more durable, doesn't come in x-large
