Fagan, Erin A.
A 12 year old female spayed mixed breed dog was treated at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals for a nasal carcinoma. Due to advanced local disease including invasion of the orbit, cribriform plate, and hard palate, a course of palliative radiation therapy was pursued. The patient experienced acute radiation side effects, necessitating additional hospitalization. The patient returned regularly for follow-up appointments, and eight months after her last radiation treatment, the patient passed away.

Gary Vaynerchuk explains why small-business owners need to stop debating social media and start using it
By Brooke Howell on May 22nd, 2012 | 2538815 comments on this posthttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2Fsocial-media%2F2012%2F05%2F22%2Fgary-vaynerchuk-explains-why-small-business-owners-need-to-stop-debating-social-media-and-start-using-it%2FGary+Vaynerchuk+explains+why+small-business+owners+need+to+stop+debating+social+media+and+start+using+it2012-05-22+14%3A33%3A45Brooke+Howellhttp%3A%2F%2Fsmartblogs.com%2F%3Fp%3D25388
If you're not on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, you need to get on for your business' sake, Gary Vaynerchuk told business owners at America's Small Business Summit in Washington, D.C.
Vaynerchuk illustrated the necessity of this message when he asked the nearly full ballroom of attendees, "How many of you think Twitter is stupid?" and half of them raised their hands. Then similar numbers raised their hands to say they once thought cellphones and the Internet itself were stupid, but all admitted they use both today.
The arguments people are having about social media today are the same ones they had about those now-ubiquitous developments just 10 to 15 years ago, Vaynerchuk said. And arguing instead of getting on board is just a waste of time, he said. "Innovation doesn't care about anyone," it just flows on and will run you over if you don't jump on and ride the wave.

From CPI: Win the online discussion by playing nice

I attended — and tweeted from — the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry's Technical Conference in Nashville, Tenn. On the final day, Rob Krebs from the American Chemistry Council led a session on online and social media with a simple premise: influencing the online discussion of topics and keywords that are crucial to your company.
It sounds trite and condescending to say that companies still fear e-mail, much less the Web, or that they feel any online communication is a legal minefield. Yet that was the mood among some participants in CPI's social media session I attended. Professionals can't influence the online conversation if they can't even get company approval to join it.
Another false assumption is that online discussion about companies and industries and their products is always negative. But it's not, said Krebs, who presented one study showing that most conversations about relevant keywords are "neutral." What does "neutral" mean? (read more…)

You're convinced there's a case for using a particular social tool as part of your job. But you look around you and it seems like you're the only one. Your boss thinks it's too risky. The department head thinks its a fad. Your contemporaries are all stressed out enough as it is without adopting some new tools. How will you ever build organizational support for this?
The answer lies in being able to look outside your own little work group and find allies in unusual places. The good news is, you're far from the first person to have to do this. There are well-worn paths for building a coalition of support for social tools within an organization.
Here are the six people who are most likely to help you get a social media effort off the ground: (read more…)
7 plug-ins that turn Google+ up to 11

Social networks have always had an uneasy relationship with customization. The earliest social networks gave you few customization options, if any. Then Myspace taught us all that unlimited profile customization can be a scary, animated-GIF-filled nightmare. Facebook gives you the options it wants you to have. And Twitter's first-party user experience has been thoroughly surpassed by third-party clients in a dizzying array of flavors.
So what about Google+? The newest entry to the social network major leagues is taking a page from Twitter's handbook, letting third-party application developers do all of the heavy lifting. But instead of letting these new feature coalesce into full-blown clients that render the first-party experience obsolete, these improvements are being channeled into extensions for Google's Chrome browser.
The result (ideally) is a robust, evolving feature set that's easy to customize, doesn't overwhelm the user and doesn't make the core experience completely irrelevant.
The downside to this approach is that Google hasn't done a great job of letting users know they can improve their experience with plug-ins — and it hasn't made it easy to identify the most useful tools on the market. (read more…)

Donna Farrugia is executive director of The Creative Group, a specialized staffing firm that places a comprehensive range of design and marketing professionals with organizations. She has more than 25 years of experience in marketing, business development and management. I interviewed Farrugia on the trend of using social-networking websites for business and how executives can create and maintain an effective online presence. An edited version of her answers follows.
What are the best ways to use social networking for business?
In addition to networking, these sites allow professionals to engage with others and highlight their skills and expertise. But it's important to always be careful about what you post and with whom you're sharing the information. Sharing links to news articles relevant to your industry or commenting on others' posts, for example, are great ways to demonstrate your knowledge of and passion for a certain topic. Providing updates on recent career accomplishments, such as a project you completed, also gives existing and prospective business contacts an idea of where you are in your career. (read more…)

IT Relocation
The last thing your business needs is a disruption in services, especially when expanding to a new country. This is particularly true when it comes to IT. Treacherous at the best of times, the reliance companies have on IT in the twenty-first century is both undeniable and astounding.
Thankfully, however, there are companies that specialise specifically in the relocation not only of your IT systems, but entire office network to South Africa. They will help you negotiate and ascertain such things as floor plans and racks; software migration; servers; and other equipment to be moved, set-up and installed. Budgetary restrictions are obviously taken into consideration through sound, fully-negotiable relocation planning to South Africa.
And whats more, you can find all the best providers of IT relocation to South Africa right here.

OK, rant over :)
A huge pet peeve of mine!
I read Dee's link but, I know that there are people who use Xmas as a way to not use "Christ" in Christmas. For example, my aunt, a Christian, will NOT write Christmas, her cards always say "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings". Why? Because she doesn't believe that December 25 is Jesus' birthday. Therefore, Christmas is not a celbration of the birth of Christ but, a holiday to get together with family.
I don't have a problem with however people choose to express it (Christmas or Xmas). The holiday means to them what it means to them. For me, it could mean something different.

Innovators in a new era of cutting edge technology, designed for business, made for technologists.
The Enterprise Evolution™ is here.
Enterprise Evolution
Working with the latest technology on some of the most complex business challenges, our team is inspired every day to deliver advanced technical solutions that make the end user experience simple, enjoyable, intuitive, more effective & productive.
Our vision is to transform the capability of organisations, and close the consumer/business technology gap in a world of rapidly advancing consumer technology.
There is a growing trend – a gap between business technology and the fast progressing consumer technology that is becoming part of our daily routines. We find businesses struggling to keep up, let alone push the boundaries of enterprise technology, and user expectations are ever increasing. A new era of technology has emerged. We call this the Enterprise Evolution™.
Existing traditional enterprise technology is focused too heavily on maintaining and operating that technology and not enough on new strategic development of IT, otherwise known as innovation. By embracing emerging technologies, organisations accelerate their own level of innovation to truly engage with employees and customers, creating highly effective and collaborative results, breaking down information silos within and outside their business. There is clearly an opportunity for businesses to take advantage of the advancements already realised in consumer technology.
Our view is long term, but it all starts with the insight and vision to realign with the pace of consumer technology to take advantage of new services and capability that have never been seen before in the enterprise – a unique and game changing opportunity awaits.
Innovation Centre
The heart of our deliverable is innovation. With that commitment in mind HEDLOC has established a unique Innovation Centre.
Accessible from pretty much anywhere in the world, the HEDLOC Innovation Centre is a specialised rapid prototyping environment built to enable our customers to develop, test and implement their innovative ideas and solve complex business challenges with tools and resources available on demand. Your organisation can leverage this powerful facility to explore and trial these innovative ideas prior to delivering the solutions in production.
Innovation as a Service (IaaS)
There are no limits to enterprise innovation, there are always new ways to push the boundaries and discover a better way of doing things. HEDLOC promotes this innovation, encouraging and enabling organisations to explore ideas often, challenge their viability quickly at minimal cost.
With this in mind HEDLOC have created the methodology for "Innovation as a Service" - IaaS, providing businesses greater access to innovation. Tailored specifically to align with the pace of advancing technology and enable business transformation with reduced risk, time and cost, by taking advantage of new services and capability.
The HEDLOC Innovation Centre is a fundamental element of the HEDLOC Innovation as a Service (IaaS) model. This offering provides a hassle-free, cost-effective environment for businesses to leverage the latest technology and HEDLOC engineering expertise with market leading applications, to turn complex ideas into business reality. HEDLOC can enable your organisation to innovate whilst you focus on keeping the lights on. We believe those organisations who take advantage of innovation initiatives now have a game changing opportunity to transform themselves into market leaders and break away from their competitors.
Transform Your Business
With an appetite for technology, consumers have enthusiastically embraced the rapid pace of innovation into their modern day lives. For the face of business however this transition is not always so simple. The threat of disruption and cost can deter many organisations from making the shift — producing an increasing gap between technology and business consumer adoption.
It is paramount that we embrace technology as it evolves and use it to our advantage, to transition to a better way of achieving effective outcomes, in our day to day lives and in the way we do business.
Inspired Achievers
Inspired Achievers recognise that the IT industry is rapidly evolving and understand the need to utilise advances in technology. They are motivated to shift the way they do business in order to streamline operations, free up resources, improve access to information and grow their organisation.
Industry Leaders
Industry Leaders are aware of the rapid advances in consumer technology and the need to evolve with it. They are actively seeking to bridge the business/consumer technology gap, unlock massive business value, break away from their competitors and take their organisation to the next level.
Ground Breakers
Already an Industry Leader, Ground Breakers are inspired to innovate, stay ahead of the curve and leverage the latest technology to propel their organisation into the enterprise evolution.
Where do you want the future of your business to be?

These were bought for my granddaughter. We needed a light ivory pair of tights to go with a dress for a wedding. They were perfect, not too heavy and not casual or cheap looking. They were perfect!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought this dress for my g-granddaughter and her mother & grandmother loves it. Mom said it would be used as her Christmas dress, along with red tights, & a red shrug to match the red ribbon & bow at the waist. Also for her xmas pictures. She is 13 months, abt 22 lbs & I bought 18 month. Love this dress - lace is soft, not scratchy as some lace dresses are & totally lined.

During my trip to Lexington I was able to see quite a few of Bubba Starling's plate appearances in the three games that he played in. In that time it was evident that Bubba still has a couple of elite tools in his power and speed however I came away wary if he'll be able to unlock those tools with enough contact to make a difference.
The Video
I'm just an amateur scout but it definitely seems like the hitch in his load combines with his less than ideal pitch recognition skills cause most of those contact problems. As you can see in the video the hitch occurs forcing his hands back which then makes him late despite elite bat speed. Perhaps the Royals are trying to fix that as it appears Bubba's hands are held slightly higher in the Sunday video which occurred on his 2 for 4 performance. If they move those hands further up they can force him to eliminate the hitch and load more naturally.
The good is when Bubba makes contact it is extremely loud as evident with his HR off 1st round pick Pat Light and a few other pitches he unloaded on. On top of the big time strength with the use of my editing software Bubba was timed around a 4.08 from home to first on the groundout to third base which shows he still has above average speed. Those two tools are things normal players don't bring to the table everyday and show that the Royals have a nice piece of clay to work from but the other problems show they are far from molding a major league player out of it just yet.

They've announced a Venom spin-off and the Marvel website teased a fake article written by Brock with Cletus Kasady as the subject. It's all but guaranteed at this point.
The only question is whether he'll first appear in one of the next two announced Spider-Man movies or the Venom spin-off.
I went on a journey reading up after I posted, I'm pretty excited about it. I'm thinking a Venom spinoff may allow then to be more dark with the storyline. Given he's a mass-murderer there isn't much room in a Spider-Man story, due to kids still being drawn to it. It's all but a kid story from the looks of the movies though, more like a loud romantic thriller lol.

I was incredibly pessimistic after the first one, but the second has given me hope.
@Tider27 Don't even see the first one, it's crap. You can seamlessly skip to the second.
I'm not too thrilled about the Sinister 6 announcement, but it could be alright I guess. They're trying too hard to expand the universe much like The Avengers and Justice League upcoming.
I'll still see the first I guess, but I'm obviously not in a hurry. It may be good if they don't put venom in the 3rd as a villain, as it may have too much of a Spider-Man 3 feel. But better because you can't butcher it as much as they did in the previous trilogy. They could always go with the arch of where they teamed up to stop Carnage though.

It's time to announce the winner of THE ONE FAN FICTION CONTEST plus share a video of Kiera Cass reading the beginning of The One!
After carefully reading through over 300 (!!!!) entries into our fan fiction contest for THE ONE, Kiera Cass has finally selected a winner!
But first, watch this video from Kiera!
Grand Prize Winner: Kristi Conner
I finger the soft white fabric flowers on the skirt of my wedding dress. It is somehow the best dress they have made yet. The creamy fabric pulls in elegant curves across the bodice highlighting the curve of my waist. The flowers make up the skirt in voluminous waves that cascade to the ground, covering my carpet in a snow of chiffon and lace. I hear a noise outside my door and my heart jumps in my chest as I wait to see if I will be discovered. After a moment of silence I relax again. I have dismissed my maids for the night, none of them know that I slipped into the wedding dress they have been working on, they left it hanging in my closet after my last fitting and tonight I couldn't escape the urge to pull the soft beautiful fabric over my and just pretend. Pretend that I am the only girl in the palace going through wedding dress fittings. Pretend that Maxon isn't currently on a date with Kriss. Pretend that I did not see him and Celeste share a private smile at dinner tonight. Pretend that he tugged his ear when I looked at him tonight across the deserts. However I am not and he did not. I never thought a dress could symbolize so much and yet mean so little.
I sigh knowing I should take off the dress, that I have already risked looking foolish and sentimental were someone to walk in on me right now. But it is late and I don't think they will so I hug the fabric to my body and walk to the corner of the room to retrieve my violin. I open the doors to my balcony, stopping at the wave of memories that rush through me as I see the balcony filled with the same silver moonlight it was the night that Maxon- I stop and pull the violin to my chest forcefully pushing away all memories of Maxon and me on this balcony.
I lose myself in the music, pouring out my anxiety and loss and heartbreak into the instrument, the barrier between me and the world. When I finish, the notes fall around me like dandelion seeds and I am surprised to feel a dampness on my cheeks. I take a deep breath and turn back to my room. I gasp and press my back into the cold cement of the balcony. Prince Maxon is leaning on the wall of my bedroom. The look in his eyes takes my breath away it is a painful mixture of sorrow and desire and regret. I met his eyes a blush coming to my cheeks as I realize I'm still wearing my wedding dress. But the damage is already done. I met his eyes again as he clears his throat and stands straight.
"You would make a beautiful bride."
And it is the word "would" that undoes me.
It was really hard to pick just one winner, so we want to take the time to highlight these other 5 excellent stories!
Courtney Lee
Anne, Mary, and Lucy were all sewing in my room, while I—for once—actually focused on reading the reports in front of me. This was all part of the plan. It was time I took all of this—the selection process, the princess title—seriously. It was not just a game, I was not just here to be Maxon's friend and informant from the inside—somewhere along the way, hadn't I already forgotten that that's what I was?
A knock at the door caused all of us to look up. Normally, if it was Maxon, he let himself in. But he hadn't knocked or entered since the day I was nearly kicked out for good. In fact, neither of us had even tugged on our ears since that day. My maids assured me this was part of the plan, too.
I walked over and opened the door. A maid handed me a small folded card.
"It's from Queen Amberly," she whispered, before hurrying off.
My maids huddled around me while I unfolded the note.
It was a personal, handwritten invitation to have tea with the queen that afternoon. I sat reading the invitation over and over. I knew where I stood with the king—he had made that clear when he cornered me outside my room. But I had not stopped to think about the queen's opinion of me. Would she be as forgiving and reassuring as she was the last time I messed up? Or would she be disappointed in me, like Maxon? I suddenly began to see all the similarities between the mother and son. The way they handled themselves in public, the way they navigated the politics. When I was dressed and every strand of hair met Anne's approval, I slowly walked down the hallway.
"Thank you for joining me, America," said Queen Amberly, motioning for me to sit across from her.
"Thank you for inviting me." I was surprised at how quiet and polite my voice sounded. Already a change was coming over me. Already, it seemed, I was learning. As though, all along, the threat of being eliminated was all I needed to get it right.
"I was surprised to hear that you had not left," the queen said, jarring me from my thoughts. I looked down.
"Well, maybe surprised is not the correct word," she corrected herself. "I was happy to hear that you will be staying.
"Do you remember me telling you I had promised myself I wouldn't get involved?"
"Well, I think it's time I changed my mind. Don't you?" I looked up and saw her smiling at me.
"Before the selection began, I promised my son I would be on his side. But now I see that being on his side means being on your side. I hope that you will consider being on my side, when the time comes."
What was she talking about? Her side?
"You see," she said, "these rebel attacks…are because of me."
Michelle Geter
The best part was the look on Celeste's face when she saw that I was staying. Her expression was the perfect mixture of shock and anger and for a moment I thought she would explode. I would have laughed except that we weren't alone. Kris, Elise, Maxon, and the king and were queen were all present and I didn't want to give the king another reason to decide to throw me out. Besides, I was determined to be on my best behavior for Maxon's sake.
I had barely sat down next to Queen Amberly on the sofa when I spotted Aspen standing guard at a nearby door. He looked surprised and confused to see me. Then I saw realization dawn in his eyes and that was soon replaced with hurt. I wished I could have given him some warning, to let him know that I had made my decision but there hadn't been any time.
"America," said Celeste, her voice oozing with false affection, "I thought you were leaving us. What a pleasant surprise to see you with us once again." She gave me the fakest smile I had ever seen.
"Why thank you, Celeste," I said matching her fake smile with one of my own. "I am glad to be staying," I added looking at Maxon who smiled fondly at me.
"And I too am glad you are here," said the queen speaking up next to me. I turned and she took my hand and gave it an affectionately squeeze. "Thank you, so much, America. I cannot bear to think what would have happened if you hadn't been with Maxon at the time."
The king scowled at his wife's words. Kris and Elise looked at each other in confusion. "What are you talking about, your majesty?" asked Celeste, quickly casting me a dark look.
"Why don't you know?" asked the queen surprised. "America saved Maxon's life!"
"She did!" exclaimed Kris while Elise gasped and Celeste looked murderous. I knew what she was thinking. Compared to the girl who had saved Maxon's life, she didn't stand a chance. Maxon might as well purpose and marry me right now.
"I didn't really save his life," I said, "I only…"
"Found a place for us to hide before the rebels could get at us," Maxon interrupted. "If you hadn't, I would probably be dead right now. So, yes, you did save my life."
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Aspen staring at me. I couldn't meet his gaze. I knew him too well to pretend not to understand how he was feeling.
The queen stood up and went to talk to her husband and Maxon immediately filled her empty seat. As he did so, I remembered the bargain we had made. Be honest. I had been honest with Maxon except for one thing. And if I was going to stay and fight for him, then it was time I told him the truth.
Mei Lin Barral
It was Saturday, so I wore my new royal blue pants that my maids made me for the colder weather. I was taking Maxon for an outing, which was a rarity because of Maxon's tight schedule. We walked side by side in the snow, it crunching beneath our feet, and as we talked we could see our breaths. The basket that I brought hung in the crook of my elbow. I walked slightly ahead of Maxon just to bother him. He pretended as if it didn't. He kept asking me what I had in the basket, but I wouldn't tell him. Once we had arrived at the oak tree in the middle of the field I took out the blanket that I had tucked away in the basket.
"A picnic? That's out fantastic escapade?" Maxon asked dubiously.
I ignored the look he was giving me and he reached in the basket and pulled out two pairs of shoes, one white and the other black, with a sharp blade stuck at the bottom of both of them.
"They're called ice skates. I read about them in one of the journals you gave me awhile ago and found two pairs hidden away in a closet."
"What's the purpose?"
"You can glide across ice, it's supposed to be an enjoyable activity, and there's a pond just a few minutes walk from here. Let's go try them out," I told Maxon as I started to get up.
We walked the rest of the distance to the nearby pond, and tried them on. Mine were a bit too small, but Maxon's fit nearly perfectly. I attempted to stand on the ice, but slipped and fell ever so elegantly. Maxon walked onto the ice and tried walking as he would normally.
"America, darling, you overestimated my ability to, glide, as you put it." Maxon moaned after he fell on his side attempting to ice skate. We helped each other get back up and tried to glide at the same time. I had only read descriptions on how to do it and tried to explain it to him, but Maxon understood the technique of gliding better than I did. We spent the rest of the afternoon getting more bruises from falling on the ice. Later, the sun was setting and it would be dark within the next half hour. I had just gotten back up when Maxon glided over to me, out of control, and knocked right into me which caused me to fall over once again. I glanced up at him and he was grinning down at me.
"I'm terribly sorry, America Singer, would you like a hand getting up?" Maxon laughed unflatteringly.
When we arrived back at the palace everybody was getting ready for dinner. I hastily went to my room to change for the evening meal when I saw Aspen, uniform askew. He was walking in my direction, coming from Celeste's hallway.
"Where have you been?" I asked Aspen.
"I could ask you the same thing, Lady America."
Sarah Mercrush
It was finally time. I'd gotten into the selection and through to the elite, and when I'd made a misstep, let my passion take away my focus, Maxon had stepped in and saved me. He didn't know that in saving me, he was also saving his country, and his people. He thought that he was saving me because he loved me, could see me as his future wife and Queen, but maybe somehow he knew there was more to it than that.
I'd spent my time at the castle getting ready for my mission – integrating myself, making allies and getting the lay of the land. You can't enter into a war without knowing whom you're fighting and where – that's just common sense battle strategy. While it was true that I was there to battle for Maxon's heart, I was also there for a deeper purpose.
I was a trained assassin, and I had an assignment. Until that night, I'd thought that the reports about King Clarkson had been exaggerated, but when I saw Maxon's bloody back, I knew the reports were true. The King was an oppressive tyrant, and he had to go. Under his rule, the castes would forever remain in place, and the rich would continue to lord their power over the poor while we suffered and starved and were treated as less than.
I hadn't planned on revealing the caste removal plan for the broadcast, but when I saw the cue cards there, I knew that someone – a superior in hiding within the castle – must have wanted me to make that presentation for a reason, and so I did it. I knew now that it must have been to reveal the King's true self, to spur me on my way. I don't know how they knew I could remain at the castle afterwards to continue my mission, but we weren't taught to doubt, we were taught to act.
I slipped out of my bed, my bare feet landing on the cool wood floor, and I reached under the bed to pull out the knife I'd placed there earlier in the selection. I was grateful to my maids and to Aspen for having shown me the hidden air ducts that led through the castle – the hallways would take me halfway to the king's chamber, but after that, the air-ducts would lead me straight to him.
Tonight, King Clarkson would die.
Christina T.
I breathed in the smell of the garden, but my mind still buzzed with worry. Maxon had gone on a date with Kriss. At the start of the Selection, I would not have cared what Maxon was doing. Now, though, I was slowly falling even more in love with Maxon, but he and I were drifting away since he was busy with Kriss. I stubbornly stifled the flame of jealousy that threatened to erupt into a gigantic bonfire.
"Lady America," a familiar voice dragged me out of my musing. I spun around.
"Officer Ledger," I greeted. The garden seemed abnormally quiet, even the rustling of the animals had gone silent
Aspen, as immaculate as ever, stepped towards me, an eerie smile on his face. I stepped back, an instinct coming alive in my mind, frantically warning me of the danger, but I didn't know what the danger was.
"What brings you here?" I asked, stalling as I tried to pinpoint the source of my nervousness.
"You see, Lady America, I'm quite famished. I try to save the best for last, but… I'm too impatient," Aspen said.
"What?" I asked, my eyes now only on Aspen, his previous statement making no sense.
Aspen exhaled impatiently. He opened his mouth and bared his teeth at me.
I screamed.
Two white fangs gleamed in the moonlight. That was all I saw before Aspen shoved me into the palace wall.
Aspen grinned, pulling my head back to have full access to my throat. I choked, pulling desperately at his arms. They were like iron bars. Aspen's breath caressed my neck. A sob escaped my mouth. What would May think if I died? What would my family think?
I squinted at the sudden white light that poured from the lamps situated throughout the garden. Aspen jerked away from me, screaming in pain. Maxon rushed forward, circled warily around Aspen, who lay convulsing on the ground, and encased his strong, warm arms around me. Relieved, I cried into Maxon's chest. Dimly, I could hear the guards restraining Aspen and the lamps powering down.
"Shh, America, shh," Maxon whispered, soothingly.
"What is he?" I asked, looking up at Maxon and wiping my tears away.
Maxon sighed, "America, there's something we haven't told you. The Southerners are deadlier than the Northerners because they are more violent and… they are vampires. Officer Ledger is a vampire. The vampires want to take over Illea. You can understand why there was such uproar when you mentioned changing the caste. Illea must be united against the rebels."
"What's this? I came to investigate a scream I heard," King Clarkson demanded, interrupting all activity.
"Your majesty," Aspen rasped, trying to force the guards away and get up.
White light ignited the garden again. Both King Clarkson and Aspen shouted in pain and fell down to the ground.
"America, you should go," Maxon pushed me towards the palace doors. Before I left, I saw a guard setting Aspen and King Clarkson on fire.

Age UK South Gloucestershire would not be the organisation it is today without the dedicated support of its volunteers. Volunteers are involved in all of our services enabling us to reach more people in need of help.
We are in need of volunteers who are willing to be trained to provide free benefits checks. The role can either be based in our Thornbury office or in clients homes. Full training will be provided and the opportunity will be supported by our Information and Advice Manager.
We are in need of befriending volunteers; we currently have a waiting list in excess of 75 people waiting for a volunteer to visit them once a week for a chat. We urgently need volunteers in the Kingswood, Longwell Green and Filton communities. If you feel that you can give one hour a week to help an older person feel less lonely please get in contact.
We have a new volunteering opportunity within our Integrated Care Project, where we are working with patients identified by three GP surgeries. Volunteers are key to the success of this project and are needed to provide information, signposting and ongoing support to help people achieve their goals.

Western Pest Control has done dozens of bed bug jobs in Iron County last year alone. Of course, the weather has little affect on pests living in our bedrooms drinking our blood.

Additional Information
About VisionFund EcuadorVisionFund Ecuador is a microenterprise development fund that supports groups of entrepreneurs who lack access to formal financial systems. The organization works with vulnerable populations, especially women, in the marginalized urban and rural sectors of Ecuador. Its clients work in a variety of sectors including agriculture, artisan crafts and the commercial and service sectors. Kiva lenders' funds are used to expand the organization's services to the poor living in more rural parts of Ecuador.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

VINTAGE OLD WORLD MAPThe Map of the World as the Pilgrams knew it when they set sail in 1620...some 128 years after Columbus discovered America. This magnificent map was published in Amsterdam in 1618. Ferdinand Magellan had completed the first known round-the-world voyage and Francis Drake had sailed up the west coast and home to England westward. Jan Jansson, the mapmaker, spent as much time decorating as charting. In the 4 corners are the 4 seasons. In the upper center, Adam and Eve...lower, heaven and hell. The banner headline reads, "Representation of the World, Comprising Two Plane Hemisps." Miss Universe, 1618, lower right on mantel piece. On left, conquistador, with drawn sword, glares at featd Indian. This map was published by Tamm-Vogt Co., 3883 Lindell, St. Louis 8, MO. From the map collection of Roy Wenzlick. Made in the early 1960's, I believe 1962. I purchased this map and several other parchment pieces from a local estate, all rolled together and stored in a mailing tube for many years. I used clear weights to hold down the corners for the picture. This will frame beautifully, perfect for your home, office, school or library. Measures 21 1/2" by 16 3/4" with the border. T is some damage , the parchment is very fragile and t is some tattering on the edges. T is two small holes torn near the left center but could be taped or repaired from the back and would not be noticable after framing. To remove creases from parchment, carefully wet and place on flat surface to dry. I will ship your parchment safely and securely in a USPS mailing tube. If you purchase more than one I will not add any additional shipping charges! Will email additional photos at your request. No reserve on any of my listings, so bid carefree! Will combine shipping on multiple purchases to save you money! Please check my auctions and store frequently, as I am always listing fresh merchandise!

"El periodismo biomédico en la era 2.0″ is the title of a booklet based on presentations at a 2011 International conference in Barcelona which has now been published and is available online.
The website provides this background:
Approximately 4,000 layoffs and 70 closures of media organizations in 2012 alone. This is the bleak picture that currently faces journalists, according to the Federation of Journalists in Spain. These cutbacks in the media have also particularly affected biomedical journalists, a group that has traditionally been on the margins, who in recent years have witnessed a paradigm shift triggered by the explosion of the Internet.
In the new Esteve Foundation Notebook El periodismo biomédico en la era 2.0, edited in collaboration with the Pompeu Fabra Universitys Observatory of Scientific Communication (OCC), ten information experts reflect on the challenges facing the biomedical journalist in this era of the Internet, probably one of the most significant changes faced by journalists in the entire history of their profession.
I was one of the speakers; pdf files of all the talks, including mine, "Is all published health care news actually newsworthy?" are available on the site.

Ok, so Nikkala was talking about doughnuts, and my mouth is now watering and I am going to talk about these YUMMY, cupcakes now. So you may have seen these on Martha Stewart….but these are BETTER. This recipe was made by my darling friend Jeneece, who is a baking goddess. She tweaked Martha Stewart's recipe by changing the chocolate cake part of the recipe into even more dark loveliness – S'mores Cupcakes
Jeneece surprised me with these, and some others that were equally great, after I spent an afternoon at her house with some of her SWEET friends teaching a Photoshop class in her theater room: (RANDOM SIDE NOTE: WE WILL BE TEACHING MORE CLASSES LIKE THIS SOON….PHOTOSHOP, DIGI SCRAPPIN' AND MORE!!!)
When we were setting up, she was making these for her daughter's class, and in not so many words, I demanded that she bring me a lovely set of these, PLEASE JENEECE!
She did not disappoint.
So here it is…please make these soon, eat them all, then go have a nap.
Line 24 muffin/cupcake tins (I use the foil ones for this recipe)
Bottom crust:(Reserve about 1/2 of this mixture for later)
2 cup graham crackers, crushed
1/2 c sugar
4 Tbl melted butter
Place in a bowl and combine until you have a nice crumbly mixture. Put 1 Tbsp or so of this mixture in the bottom of the cupcake liners and press down until they are smooth and flat. Cook for 6 minutes at 350 degrees to slightly brown the bottom. After the bottom has been browned, fill cupcakes with almost 1/4 C cake mixture. Sprinkle left over graham cracker crumbs and small chocolate chips on top of cake mixture and then bake for 15-16 minutes at 350 degrees or until cake springs back when lightly touched with your finger.
Mixture for chocolate cupcakes batter:
1 pkg of chocolate cake mix (I use Betty Crocker)
1 cup sour cream
4 eggs
3/4 c oil
3/4 c water
1 pkg small dry chocolate pudding mix
1/2 c small chocolate chips
Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
8 large egg whites
2 c sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tarter
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Place egg whites, sugar and cream of tarter in a heatproof bowl of an electric mixer (I use my kitchen aid bowl). Set over a saucepan with simmering water. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch (about 3-4 minutes).
Transfer bowl to the electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat starting on low speed gradually increasing to high, until stiff glossy peaks form (about 8-10 minutes). Add vanilla and mix until combined. Pipe on to the cupcakes so they look like an ice cream on a ice cream cone. Take a creme brule torch and burn them to make them look like they have been toasted like a campfire. Makes 24 cupcakes.
And there you have it, welcome summer!!

text: Monserrat is a variant spelling of the Catalan name Montserrat. It is likely the better spelling in Anglophone (English-speaking) countries given the correct pronunciation of the name. Monserrat / Montserrat is a Catalan name meaning 'serrated mountain'. That may not be the most appealing meaning, but the exceptional beauty of the Montserrat mountain range near Barcelona, Spain might change your mind. Monserrat is, unsurprisingly, most common among the Spanish community. Montserrat is also one of the claimed homes of the Holy Grail according to Arthurian legends.

Discussion: Correct Call???
Ump was incorrect. Here is the rule from ssusa rulebook. It clearly states "If there is a play", not if there could have been a play.
Each batter must reach first base without the aid of a courtesy runner. A double bag shall be used at first base, the double portion of the bag being in foul territory abutting first base. If there is a play on a batter-runner going to first base, the batter-runner must touch the portion of the double bag extending into foul territory. He will be called out if he fails to do so, except, in the umpire's judgment, the batter runner is avoiding a collision. This is NOT an appeal play. Important: The defending player has only the white base, in fair territory, to make the putout; his touch of only the bag in foul territory will not result in an out. After the batter runner becomes a base runner, the defensive player may use either portion of the double base to record a put out.

Trimming the Data on Nuclear Costs
Merck Pharmaceuticals suppressed data on harmful effects of its drug Vioxx. As a result, many people died. Guidant Corporation suppressed data on electrical flaws in one of its heart-defibrillator models, and it too caused many patient deaths. Many similar examples reveal how financial conflicts of interest (COI) can skew biomedical research— especially when companies suppress data that could jeopardize their pharmaceutical profits. As a result, scientists and ethicists have long recognized the harm done by such COI. An Annals of Internal Medicine study recently showed that 98 percent of papers based on industry-sponsored studies reflected favorably on the industry's products; a Journal of the American Medical Association article likewise concluded that industryfunded studies were 8 times less likely to reach conclusions unfavorable to their drugs than were nonprofit-funded studies.1 Does something similar happen in energy studies done by electric utilities?
Both coal and nuclear utilities appear to massively underestimate the costs of their activities. For instance, an association of coal utilities and producers, the World Coal Institute, said in 2009 that coal is "cheaper per energy unit than other fuels," but as chapter 1 documented, the US National Academy of Sciences says that annual costs of coal-generated electricity often exceed their benefits, especially for older, dirtier coal plants. The academy noted that annual US health-related and CC damages from US coal plants are more than $120 billion annually, including tens of thousands of coal-induced deaths per year. Even in market terms, coal benefits often do not pay for its costs. A recent report of the Mountain Association of Community Economic Development showed that, for a typical coal-producing state, like Kentucky, annual state revenues from coal are $528 million, but they cost $643 in state expenditures—and these figures do not include any health damages.2
Nuclear-industry cost estimates are just as misleading. Jonathan Porritt, chair of the UK Sustainable Development Commission and adviser to Gordon Brown, says, "Cost estimates from the [nuclear] industry have been subject to massive underestimates—inaccuracy of an astonishing kind consistently over a 40-, 50-year period." 3 A UK government commission agrees, claiming that these "massive underestimates" have arisen because virtually all nuclear-cost data can be "traced back to industry

Two separate films vie for supremacy in Mona Achache's largely insufferable quirkfest based on Muriel Barbery's 2006 novel, 'The Elegance of the Hedgehog'. In film one, channelling equal parts 'Rushmore' and 'Home Alone', we have Garance Le Guillermic as the eminently slappable Paloma, 11-year-old pseud and – with an omnipresent Hi-8 camera – furious auto-archivist, who's decided to commit suicide on her twelfth birthday. Meanwhile, in film two, a hushed romance is playing out below stairs between surly, self-hating janitor Renée (Josiane Balasko) and gratingly genial Japanese stereotype Kakuro (Togo Igawa). Intended as a kooky meditation on death, Achache's film pedals a tone so glib that it's hard to care what happens. The technique has a degree of silky proficiency to it but seems wasted on, among other things, long, precious close-ups of Paloma's sprawling, hand-drawn mural. The second film is best, especially the scene when Renée and Kakuro watch Ozu's 'The Munekata Sisters' together.

Well crafted adaptation of the book and themes clearly not understood at all by the Timeout reviewer and absolutely not "glib". Brilliantly acted throughout and although not to everyone's taste I'm sure, this will appeal to anyone who enjoyed the book. I found this film totally engaging for the full 100 minutes despite the small cast and lack of action.

Liked this - don't agree that the tone was 'glib'. Lovely cinematography and design. Some nice themes. Sad.
