Letter to GSLI Participant
Items to be Completed and Given to Your GSLI Chaperone
GSLI Participant Form Part 1
GSLI Participant Form Part 2
If you are passionate about girl leadership and love any of the GSLI themes this year, consider applying to be a chaperone through your local Girl Scout council. Adult chaperones will work with the girls before, during, and after the GSLI.
These adults will support girls' Take Action plans when they return home. To help them do so, chaperones will have their own adult sessions on girls' Take Action issues and the planning processes girls will use.
GSLI chaperones may be adult volunteers or Girl Scout council staff members. Many councils select chaperones using the same vetting process they use for selecting chaperones for extended teen travel and trips.
Talk to your local Girl Scout council for more information.

To my mind, we will hardly find at least one woman doesn't taking care of her beauty. We all want to be both irresistible and impeccably stylish. In order to achieve these aims, we literally DO everything we can. Unfortunately sometimes we don't have enough time to think: "What the hell I am doing? May be it's all wrong?" Very often the results are poor. So it is really important to know, that there is some ways to be beautiful without paying the price. I mean without doing harm to your body… Want to find them out? Argan Oil.
First of all, Argan oil is an oil produced from the fruits of the Argan, that grows in southwestern Morocco. Sometimes this oil is called "liquid gold". Argan oil is the only why way to get rid of annoying wrinkles, crow's feet, and lines around your eyes, to help your hair and nails be strong, long and beautiful. It doesn't have any side effects and really cures without paying attention to your age, gender, and race.
Argan oil contains all the necessary components to help our skin, nails and hair look adorable. It perfectly influences intracellular oxygenation, and helps to restore skin moisturizing, thus improving its elasticity, and diminishing most wrinkles. You will definitely look healthier!!!
- first of all, because it really works, it helps to make you look very beautiful.
- only natural products can significantly reduce the number of carcinogens (cancer- causing substances).
- it is lack of synthetic ingredients, that are very harmful and toxic to our bodies.
- it is rich in Vitamins, such as F and E and phenols.
Girls, I actually think that this oil is worth every penny we spend on it. It's an excellent bargain that will take car of you and your health, and what is more, that will make you very beautiful! What do you think???

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro headed to Vodafone UK. T-Mobile pushes back launch date
Vodafone UK has recently added the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro to its coming soon list of devices (where the Nokia N8 and the BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 can be also found).
The price and launch date of Vodafone's X10 Mini Pro have not been disclosed yet.
Anyway, it's worth mentioning that the carrier already offers the X10 Mini (aka the X10 Mini Pro without a QWERTY keyboard) for free on plans from £20 per month.
T-Mobile UK (which previously said it would launch the X10 Mini Pro in July), now lists the smartphone as available starting September. Maybe that's when Vodafone will launch the handset, too.
Both the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro will be updated to Android 2.1 in the third quarter of the year. Until then, users will have to deal with Android 1.6.

Matilda Education Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Miss Honey was feeling quite quivery. There was no doubt in her mind that she had met a truly extraordinary mathematical brain, and words like child-genius and prodigy went flitting through her head. She knew that these sorts of wonders do pop up in the world from time to time, but only once or twice in a hundred years. (7.58)
Amazingly, Miss Honey is only the second adult to realize how special Matilda is. She can tell Matilda needs to be nurtured, not put down. What's awesome about this scene is the physical reaction that Miss Honey has to Matilda's genius. She's so excited her spine is practically tingling. It's thrilling for her to meet such a wonder-kid, which tells us that Miss Honey is an awesome teacher. She revels in her students' achievements, even if they have nothing whatsoever to do with her.
Quote #5
[Miss Honey] felt wildly excited. She had just met a small girl who possessed, or so it seemed to her, quite extraordinary qualities of brilliance. There had not been time yet to find out exactly how brilliant the child was, but Miss Honey had learnt enough to realize that something had to be done about it as soon as possible. It would be ridiculous to leave a child like that stuck in the bottom form. (8.1)
Matilda is so awesome that Miss Honey does something she would never do otherwise: visit the terrible Trunchbull. That's some serious devotion to her student.
Quote #6
"It makes me vomit," she went on, "to think that I am going to have to put up with a load of garbage like you in my school for the next six years. I can see that I'm going to have to expel as many of you as possible as soon as possible to save myself from going round the bend." (13.7)
Unlike Miss Honey (and Mrs. Phelps, too), the Trunchbull is pretty much the worst teacher Shmoop can imagine. She sees a school as a place made worse by kids, rather than as a place designed to nurture them. Can you imagine if your principal called kids vomitous? Or garbage? Can you spell fired?

Garmin has unveiled a new GPS device that doesn't look like the typical GPS unit. Rather than being a boxy rectangle, the new nuvi 3700 series looks more like an iPod touch crammed inside a windshield mount.
The 3700 is claimed to be the thinnest PND around at less than 9mm thick. The device has a touchscreen and users can zoom in on maps using pinch and tap gestured. The screen is 4.3-inches wide and can be used in portrait or landscape modes.
The device has a customizable wake up phrase that will activate the voice navigation. Maps are offered in 2D and 3D modes. The device has features you expect on a high-end GPS unit like lane assist, traffic and more. Pricing and availability are unknown.

College Hockey:Air Force Holds on to Top Holy Cross
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — For 53 minutes, Air Force controlled Holy Cross and held a three-goal advantage. However, in the final seven minutes, a determined Crusader rally nearly turned the game around.
In the end, Air Force earned its third straight victory as the Falcons held off Holy Cross for a 4-3 victory in a non-conference college hockey game Friday at the Cadet Ice Arena.
Air Force, 3-2 overall this season, was without head coach Frank Serratore due to a family emergency. The Crusader flurry at the end nearly spoiled the coaching debut of assistant coach Derek Schooley.
"Its always fun to win, but I wish it would have been 4-1," Schooley said. "I give a lot of credit to our juniors and seniors. Their leadership got us ready to play."
The Falcons got on the board first as Derek Olson tipped in a shot by Brian Reaney at 12:19. The goal was Olson's third of the season and was also assisted by Brian Rodgers. Holy Cross' Andrew McKay tied the game at 1-1 with a power-play goal at 19:37.
Air Force raised its intensity in the second period and netted a pair of goals. Andy Berg scored 16 seconds into the period from Tom Starkey. Berg scored his second of the season as he walked into the slot and fired a shot high, stick side. Shane Saum gave the Falcons a 3-1 lead at 17:12 with his fifth goal in five games this season.
A hard-working goal in the third period gave the Falcons a 4-1 lead. Justin Hamilton's determined effort down the boards and behind the net started the play. The junior winger sent a pass in the slot to Scott Zwiers at 8:37. Just as Zwiers was getting hit, he spun around and fired a slap shot that beat Crusader goalie Rick Massey for his second goal of the season.
Shortly after, the wheels began to come off the bus for the Falcons. Holy Cross began to control the puck in the zone and fired a barrage of shots at Falcon goalie Mike Polidor. With 3:02 remaining, Crusader Patrick Rissmiller camped right in front of the net and took a pass from behind the cage, and scored. Holy Cross coach Paul Pearl then pulled the goalie with 1:55 remaining in favor of the extra skater.
Before the Crusaders could get a shot, the Falcons had a chance to put the game out of reach. With 1:30 remaining, Brian Rodgers' attempt at the empty net from the top of the circle hit the post. Derek Olson then fired three shots that were blocked by the Crusader defense.
Holy Cross got the puck deep in the Falcon zone and with 49 seconds remaining and J.R. Walker scored to cut the Falcon lead to one goal. Zwiers won the ensuing faceoff, but the Falcons could not get the puck out of their own zone. After a flurry in front of the net, Falcon defenseman Brian Reaney was called for roughing with 17 seconds remaining. The Crusaders had a two-man advantage, with the extra skater, for the final 17 seconds. Jace Anders blocked two shots with the body and Rodgers blocked another in the final seconds to preserve the victory.
"We didn't play very smart in the final seven minutes," Schooley said. "We held on, but can't afford to play like that in our conference. We lost our focus late in the game and that can't happen. We had some veterans step up in the final 17 seconds and play like warriors."
Air Force outshot Holy Cross, 22-16, in the first two periods. The Crusaders held a 15-4 shot advantage in the third period and outshot the Falcons, 31-26 in the game. The Falcons were 0-for-3 on the power play while Holy Cross was 1-for-5. Polidor made 28 saves for the Falcons.
The same two teams conclude the series, Saturday, Oct. 20, at 7:05 p.m. (MT) at the Cadet Ice Arena.

WHERE Paddington.
PHOTOGRAPHER Steven Siewert. "I had never met Robert Dickerson but I had seen a lot of his work. So it was bit of surprise when I walked into the Rex Irwin Art Dealer gallery to meet him and he looked like a fisherman.
"The gallery was in Paddington and the way he looked, he couldn't have been further away from it. Blue shorts, longs socks, red jumper — he looked as if he'd got out of a tinnie. He seemed a real knockabout guy, and that was what I tried to capture."

Vodafone 555 Blue is a prepaid Facebook phone
Vodafone has unveiled yet another Facebook-centric phone earlier today. And it's the one we've exclusively shown you back in June, which now has a name: Vodafone 555 Blue.
Unlike previous efforts such as the INQ Cloud Touch, the HTC Salsa or HTC ChaCha though, this isn't a smartphone. It's an featurephone built by Alcatel, and it runs a proprietary Vodafone operating system that has been built from the ground up with Facebook integration in mind.
If all the other Facebook-oriented devices are interesting experiments, this will be the Facebook phone for the masses. At least if those masses use Vodafone. The price is expected to be cheaper than that of the Vodafone Smart, which currently goes for just £75 in the UK on Pay as you go. The rumored price point for the 555 Blue is around £60.
The Vodafone 555 Blue will become available in August, presumably in many of the markets where Vodafone has a presence.
The phone has a 2.4-inch QVGA (320×240) landscape display (not a touchscreen), a full physical QWERTY keyboard (including a dedicated Facebook key), it lacks any 3G support having just dual-band EDGE on board, and it's got a 200 MHz MediaTek processor (is the Taiwanese company finally making inroads into developed markets?).
The Vodafone 555 Blue also comes with a 2 MP camera with flash, a 3.5 mm headset jack, 40 MB of integrated storage expandable via microSD cards, Bluetooth 2.1, an FM radio, and a 1000 mAh battery.
Software-wise, aside from the Facebook integration, you'll also find an IM client, an email client with POP3 and IMAP support, a music player, and Opera Mini for Web browsing.
For now, Vodafone has put up a page for the device, so if you need more information you can go there and get it.

Monette Moio is the woman denigrated in Elliot Rodger's manifesto. The world is finding out that she is an aspiring model who rejected alleged mass murderer Elliot Rodger when they were young. Yet, Moio's father says that his daughter scarcely remembers Rodger, according to a New York Post report on Sunday.
In a 141-page manifesto which Rodger wrote prior to killing six people and injuring 13 others in California on Friday night, Monette Moio was chastised as an evil bitch. Rodger wrote that Monette ignited his fear of girls which only got worse in time. However, her father – veteran Hollywood stuntman John Moio – claims that his daughter was far too young at the time she knew Rodger to have been a mean, cruel and heartless woman as portrayed in the manifesto. John Moio, 75, says that his daughter was only 10 years old at the time.
The father of the woman says that Rodger was a year older than his daughter and that his daughter only remembers Rodger as being odd. He also said that his daughter is devastated over the whole thing. He said that Rodger is a sociopath, according to the Daily Mail, and he claims that it is like his daughter is being implicated in this terrible tragedy for something she hasn't done and can't remember.
The father said that perhaps the girls his daughter hung around with poked fun at him, but he insists that his daughter was not a bully. He defends her by saying she is one of the sweetest people one could ever meet. In summation, the Mr. Moio said, "<Rodger> was weird then, and he's weird now."
The father also spoke to Rodger's mention of his son, actor Ashton Moio. Though Rodger wrote in the manifesto that he resented Ashton Moio for being popular, the father says that wasn't the case. He said his son was not popular in school. He said that his son had his troubles and was a normal kid.
Monette Moio works at the Equinox Gym in Woodland Hills, California. She lives with her mother who is talent agent and photographer Monique Strong. Her brother, Ashton, is a supporting actor in "Twisted," an ABC Family network series. He also had a small role in the "Hunger Games," a project which Rodger's dad – Peter Rodger – worked on as a second unit director.
On Friday, Rodger stabbed three persons - his two roommates and another student - and then shot and killed two sorority girls and another male. His manifesto, in which Monette Moio's name surfaced, details how girls had rejected him. He hated women and the men who were with them.

How you workout has a huge effect on how your body looks. Going through the motions will get you a body that looks like it has been "going through the motions". Here are some tips on how to workout if you goal is to maximize lean muscle and minimize body fat.
- The absolute best training system uses heavy weight/low to medium rep sets to build muscle thickness and high rep/heaviest weight possible sets to build cardiovascular density (building the size and number of blood vessels). When your circulatory network is increased, more nutrients get carried to the muscles and toxins are effectively transported away. This process results in muscular growth. The greater your cardiovascular density, the larger the muscle can become. So be sure that you include high rep sets in your workouts, especially if you are trying to get the muscle to grow.(1)
- Don Parrillo pretty much developed an advanced method of stretching call Fascial Stretching. It involves stretching between each exercise set when the muscle is fully pumped. Fascial stretching stretches the fascial sheath that covers the muscle and leads to greater mass, muscularity, and muscular separations. Fascial stretching should be done aggressively, but only if the muscle if fully pumped. Partner assisted stretches can also help perform these stretches more effectively.(1)
- Perform cardiovascular/aerobic training to supplement your resistance training program. Aerobic exercise enhances recovery and it builds cardiovascular density mentioned earlier. Aerobic exercise can also accelerate fat-burning. For fat burning purposes, it is best to perform cardiovascular/aerobic activity in the morning before breakfast (immediately upon waking) or right after a resistance training workout. At these two times, your body is low on glycogen (carb stores) and it will draw upon fatty acids for energy (due to the absence of glycogen). As a result, more body fat is burned. (1)

The crewmembers took a few breaks from their schedule during the week to field questions from a Cleveland, Ohio, television station and a New York, N.Y., radio station during an event on Thursday and to address more than 650 educators from across the United States on Friday that were gathered in Houston for the Eighth Annual International Space Station Educators Conference.
Maintenance activities included some minor repairs on the Active Rack Isolation System (ARIS), replacing the hard drive of one of the command and control computers, troubleshooting the slight echo usually heard during space-to-ground communications, removing the automated docking system from the Russian Progress resupply vehicle and installing a laptop computer in the Quest airlock. The ARIS dampens the vibrations caused by movement by the crew in an effort to isolate the sensitive science experiments located in the Destiny Laboratory. A shock absorber pushrod was replaced after malfunctioning because of normal wear and tear on the system.
The crew replaced the hard drive on the third and final command and control computer with the new solid-state mass memory unit that is expected to operate better in the microgravity environment than the spinning disk type hard drive. The new unit is now activated and operating well.
Ground controllers in Mission Control Houston and Moscow are guiding the crew through several tests of the station's communications system. The crew is trying several configurations of the system to help find a solution to an echo. The echo does not impact flight operations, but slightly decreases the quality of the audio heard on the ground.

Alan Colella has a fascinating life! He cuts hair by day and snaps celebrity photos at night! Alan has been taking celebrity shots for over 30 years and most recently released a photo book titled Alan Colella's Sexy Women: A Photo collection of Hollywood's Most Desirable Divas.
The 50-page book includes photos of Farrah Fawcett, Cheryl Ladd, Tanya Roberts, Jaclyn Smith, Lynda Carter, Pamela Anderson, Barbi Benton, Catherine Bach, Whitney Houston, Natalie Wood, Barbara Eden, and Elizabeth Taylor, just to name a few.
Alan has tons of Hollywood stories. Most recently he was taking shots of Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer from TNT's Franklin & Bash. He went up to them and asked if he could take their photo together. They agreed. As he was taking his shots, paparazzi suddenly came running over to get the same photo.
He fondly remembers being on location with Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith on the set of Charlie's Angels. His wife even brought homemade cookies to the heavenly creatures. He laughs a bit when telling stories about giving gifts to Farrah & Jaclyn. He would bring Farrah & Jaclyn gifts and they both would compete with each other who had the better gift.
The cover image of his book featuring Tanya Roberts was shot at the Japanese garden in Los Angeles where she was appearing to promote her film "Sheena". If you look closely, as Roberts is feeding the fish, you can also see why she was Queen of the Jungle! The book also features some nudity.
One thing Alan gets a kick out of is asking celebrities to take a picture with their TV or movie themed lunchboxes! He recently asked Jaclyn Smith to take a picture with the Charlie's Angels lunchbox which she did as she was hopping in her car to leave a restaurant. Then she rolled down the window and handed Alan his lunchbox back.
Although Natalie Wood was one of the Alan's most favorite people to photograph, Alan stated, "Farrah was my #1 favorite!"

Satire in politics: Informing (or misinforming) the masses
In a column published Wednesday on The Huffington Post, author Amber Day argues that more Americans are turning to satire to become politically educated — and that its a good thing for the country.
"The pull toward the ironic, I believe, is directly related to the increasingly manufactured quality of contemporary public life, Day writes. As these conditions have escalated, so too has the desire to poke holes in the spectacle, challenge the truth-value of statements made by elites, and shift the way in which issues are framed.
Day posits that the role of satirists in the political discourse is important because it helps amateurs and professionals take the discussion out of the hands of scripted authority figures, creating a new stage for political debate.
Political parody, irony and satire have not only surged in popularity in recent years, but they have become complexly intertwined with serious political dialogue, Day wrote. In questioning the status quo and the standard political messages reverberating through the echo chamber, new and provocative discussions are being heard, which ultimately help foster a more meaningful and honest debate in the country.
According to a 2008 Pew Research Center study, "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart was named as a journalist that most Americans admire. But, Stewart isnt a journalist — a fact that he has repeated often — hes a comedian.
In 2008, New York Magazine reported that Stewarts show had roughly 1.4 million viewers per night, while another satirical show, "The Colbert Report," had 1.3 million. In 2007, the Pew Research Center stated that 16 percent of Americans regularly watched "The Daily Show" or "The Colbert Report" — numbers comparable with viewers of "The OReilly Factor" on Fox News.
Following the release of a 2004 study, CNN reported that viewers of "The Daily Show" came ahead of David Letterman and Jay Leno viewers on a political quiz. According to the study, they also knew more about election issues than people who regularly read newspapers or watch television.
Additionally, in a 2006 study researchers at Indiana University found that "The Daily Show" contained as much substantive news coverage as network news.
It is clearly a humor show, first and foremost, assistant professor of telecommunications at Indiana University Julia R. Fox said in a news release. But there is some substance on there, and in some cases, like John Edwards announcing his candidacy, the news is made on the show. You have real newsmakers coming on, and yes, sometimes the banter and questions get a little silly, but there is also substantive dialogue going on Its a legitimate source of news.
As political satire becomes more prevalent, the line between real news and satire often becomes blurred, making it harder to separate truth from fiction.
On Feb. 1, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow was duped by the satirical website ChristWire.org. On the site, a fictional article stated Sarah Palin needed to lead the way in calling for an American-led invasion of Egypt.
As the largest recipient of foreign aid next to Israel, the United States has a tremendous investment in keeping Egypt stable and relatively terrorist-free, the article stated. Upon her direction, other Western nations are sure to join us.
After the information was found to be satire, Maddow acknowledged the mistake on her Twitter account.
According to The New York Times, Maddow isnt alone in falling to ChristWire.orgs satire. The Atlantic Wire has identified instances of organizations like NBC Los Angeles and The Huffington Post also being fooled by the website.
Sarah Palin has often gained unwarranted attention for political satire pieces, including recently when she was falsely quoted as saying she would deport Christina Aguilera for her performance of the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

There were 14 troops killed, eastern Ukraine, by the pro-Russian rebels when they shot down a military helicopter. A general, an adviser to President Vladimir Putin accused the U.S. of pushing the world toward war through proxies in Kiev.
The insurgents shot down a transport chopper (an Mi-8) with a shoulder-fired missile as heaving fighting in Slovyansk about 100 miles from the Russian border, Speaker Oleksandr Turchynov told parliament today. At the same time, they attacked a military base near Luhansk, according to the National Guard.
Russia demanded Ukraine to suspend its "fratricidal war" and withdraw its troops from the mainly Russian-speaking regions of the east after separatists suffered the most casualties of their campaign. Western countries should use their influence to stop Ukraine from "sliding into a national catastrophe," the Foreign Ministry in Moscow said on its website.
As Ukraine geared up air patrols over Donetsk yesterday while a convoy of pro-Russian rebels moved through the eastern city with an anti-aircraft gun in tow, regrouping after dozens were killed in a government operation to retake the main airport.
President-elect Petro Poroshenko is determined to wipe out the insurgents and re-establish order prior to winning office on May 25 with 54.7 percent of the vote. It appears that he has to stabilize an economy that the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development expects to shrink 7 percent this year while reclaiming swaths of territory captured by pro-Russian militias.
An economic adviser to Putin, Sergei Glazyev, said the U.S. controls the new Ukrainian government and is seeking to use the conflict to start a "third world war."
"This can't be called anything but madness – the bombing of cities, airports, escalation of unmotivated violence against their own people," Glazyev told reporters today in the Kazakh capital Astana.
Putin flew to Astana to sign a treaty with his counterparts from Kazakhstan and Belarus creating a trading bloc of more than 170 million people to challenge the U.S. and the European Union. Two other former Soviet states, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, plan to join the Eurasian Economic Union the year.
Russia reduces the number of soldiers stationed at Ukraine's border to about 20,000 from about 50,000, the press service of Ukraine's border guards said yesterday. The Russian troops left behind military assets, the possibility to return, the service said, with no specifics.
Even so, a "threatening, capable" Russian force remains "poised along the Ukrainian border," Colonel Steve Warren, a spokesman for the Pentagon, told reporters yesterday.
"Russia's goal was and is to keep Ukraine so unstable that we accept everything that the Russians want," Poroshenko said in an interview with German paper Bild. "I have no doubt that Putin can end the fighting with his direct influence."
Ukrainian forces have used aviation and artillery assets to "destroy" the rebel unit that shot down the helicopter today, the Interior Ministry's National Guard unit said in a statement, without explanation.
While the violence continues, Ukraine is hesitant to accept an EU proposal to reach a debt and price deal for natural gas from Russia and avert a threatened shutoff as soon as June 3. Russia, the world's largest supplier of the fuel, has twice cut its gas flows to Ukraine since Putin came to power in 2000, leading to shortages throughout Europe.
Based on EU plan, Ukraine's state Energy Company, NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy, would pay Russian gas exporter OAO Gazprom (GAZP) $2 billion by May 30 and with the additional amount of $500 million by June 7. That would, partially, cover Ukraine's outstanding debt, which Gazprom Chief Executive Officer Alexey Miller said yesterday reached $5.2 billion by June 7.
Ukraine's government is "ready to clean the bill" and "pay the arrears," Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said in Berlin yesterday. The country is seeking market-based price of $250-350 per 1,000 cubic meters as a precondition, he said.
Gazprom raised the price charges Ukraine, which relies on the Russian exporter for half of its gas, by 81 percent to $485 per 1,000 cubic meters after Kremlin-backed President Viktor Yanukovych fled the country in February.
So far, 15 percent of Europe's gas supply flows from Russia through Ukraine, which is counting on $17 billion from the International Monetary Fund to avoid bankruptcy. Talks will resume in Berlin tomorrow, though a breakthrough is unlikely, according to Ukraine's Energy Ministry.
"Russia is now our enemy," First Deputy Minister Yuri Zyukov told reporters in Kiev. "It dictates and speaks in ultimatums we can't accept."
The standoff is threatening to escalate into a full-blown crisis, "undermining the sustainability of Russian gas transit to the EU through Ukraine," Alexander Kornilov, an energy analyst at Alfa Bank in Moscow, said in an e-mailed note.
"Ukraine's position indicates that the light at the end of the tunnel in Russia-Ukraine-EU gas discussions is still very far away," Kornilov said.
EU leaders meeting in Brussels this week decided to put off further sanctions on Russia as Putin said he'll work with Ukraine's new leader and pulled back some troops.
French President Francois Hollande told reporters after the summit ended: "The possibility of de-escalation is here, finally. But we still need this strict reminder."
In their final statement, the leaders said the EU was working on "possible targeted measures" and agreed "to continue preparations" in case further steps are needed.
After Putin annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea region in March, the UE has blacklisted 83 Russian and Ukrainian officials and two companies.
President Barack Obama, who imposed U.S. sanctions on people close to Putin, called Poroshenko May 27 to congratulate him on his victory and offer "the full support of the United States," according to a White House statement.
President Obama told NPR News in an interview scheduled to air today about his plans to meet with Poroshenko and discuss about Crimea.
Poroshenko said after his victory that government forces won't quit until separatists are completely defeated.
The president-elect said: "They won't last two or three months. They'll last a

I got this dress, which was originally sold for $5500, for a little over $1500 on a super sale. I thought I was going to wear it for my wedding but I couldnt fit into it. I love it and wish I could make it work, but its too small for me. For someone who's the right size (6-8 street size), this will be a perfect dress! The flowers on it are gorgeous and sweet and the craftsmanship is amazing. You can really tell it was a $5500 dress.
I have no photos of me in the dress since i never wore it but google Melissa Sweet Laeticia if you want to see images of brides in the dress. This dress is more ivory in person than a lot of the photos that I found on google.

How to show that if two integral domains are isomorphic, then their corresponding field of quotients are isomorphic? [closed]
closed as off-topic by user26857, Adam Hughes, Daniel W. Farlow, Chris Godsil, USER91500 Mar 29 at 4:07
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Here's one approach. Let $\text{Frac}(R)$ denote the fraction field of an integral domain, and for an injective arrow $f:R\to S$ let $\text{Frac}(f)$ be the arrow $\text{Frac}(R)\to\text{Frac}(S)$ defined by $\text{Frac}(f)\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=\frac{f(x)}{f(y)}$. Show that this has the property that $\text{Frac}(g\circ F)=\text{Frac}(g)\circ\text{Frac}(f)$ and that $\text{Frac}(\text{id}_R)=\text{id}_{\text{Frac}(R)}$. Conclude that if $f:R\to S$ is an isomorphism then so is $\text{Frac}(f)$ for $\text{Frac}(f^{-1})$ is an inverse for $\text{Frac}(f)$
This is a general techinque--show that your construction is functorial.
If you actually care to learn it, what you have shown is that $\text{Frac}$ is a functor from the category $\mathbf{Dom}$ of integral domains an injective maps to the category $\mathbf{Field}$ of fields and field(ring) maps.
Let $\psi\colon D\to E$ be an isomorphism of integral domains. Let $\iota\colon D\to Q(D)$ be the embedding of $D$ into its field of fractions (via $\iota(a) = \frac{a}{1}$, for instance), and $j\colon E\to Q(E)$ the embedding fo $E$ into its field of fractions (via $j(b)=\frac{b}{1}$).
Then $j\circ\psi\colon D\to Q(E)$ is an injective ring homomorphism (composition of injective ring homomorphisms) that maps $D$ into a field. Therefore, $j\circ\psi$ induces a ring homomorphism $\Psi\colon Q(D)\to Q(E)$ such that $\Psi\circ\iota = j\circ\psi$.
Symmetrically, $\iota\circ\psi^{-1}\colon E\to Q(D)$ is an injective ring homomorphism from $E$ into a field, hence it induces a unique ring homomorphism $\Phi\colon Q(E)\to Q(D)$ such that $\Phi\circ j = \iota\circ\psi^{-1}$.
The map $D\to Q(D)$ given by $\iota$ should induce the identity map on $Q(D)$; that is, the only map $f\colon Q(D)\to Q(D)$ such that $f\circ\iota = \iota$ is $f=\mathrm{id}_{Q(D)}$, by the uniqueness clause of the universal property of $Q(D)$. Since Now, $$\Phi\circ\Psi\circ\iota = \Phi\circ j \circ\psi = \iota\circ\psi^{-1}\circ\psi = \iota = \mathrm{id}_{Q(D)}\circ\iota,$$ it follows that $\Phi\circ\Psi = \mathrm{id}_{Q(D)}$. A symmetric argument using the universal property of $Q(E)$ and $\Psi\circ\Phi\circ j$ shows that $\Psi\circ\Phi=\mathrm{id}_{Q(E)}$.
Therefore, $\Psi$ and $\Phi$ are inverses of each other, hence they are both isomorphisms, showing that $Q(D)\cong Q(E)$.
Note the use of the universal properties, as opposed to an "element-by-element" check; although I specified the definitions of $\iota$ and $j$, those do not need to be specified: all that matters is that they are part of the "universal property" definition.

College Hockey:Nanooks Back On Track With Road Sweep Of Mavericks
OMAHA, Neb. — In a perfect world for Alaska-Fairbanks coach Guy Gadowsky, his team would play Nebraska-Omaha every game all season.
With a 3-2 win Saturday, the Nanooks are now 6-0-3 against the Mavericks in their last nine meetings, with the last seven ending in ties or one-goal decisions.
"We're just lucky. All the games have been so close, we have had great goaltending here, and that's a big part of it," Gadowsky said.
Dropping a pair of one-goal conference matches didn't sit well with the Mavericks, who seemed to note an internal struggle as well as UAF's intensity.
"It's more than puzzling. We're trying to find that key right now, the missing piece," Andrew Wong said. "We need to look at each individual guy and find out what they are not bringing. We can't win games with under 20 shots."
After a season-high 43 shots Friday, matters changed drastically for UNO, which had just 17 Saturday. Preston McKay made 15 saves in net for UAF, enough to give Fairbanks two more points.
Dan Ellis stopped 33 of 36 shots, but again fell one save short.
"Ellis is a great goaltender, I feel Preston matched him and made some great saves of his own," Gadowsky said. "Especially when we were down he kept us in the game."
Joel Andresen scored his first collegiate goal on a rocket slapshot to put the Mavericks up 1-0 late in the first period. Fairbanks tied the game in the second period, skating four-on-four, when Blaine Bablitz deflected a shot past Ellis.
UNO answered back as Wong and David Brisson skated in on a give-and-go which Wong sent home for his third goal of the year.
Late in the period, David Keough went off the ice bloody as he slid to block a shot and took the puck to the side of the face. Keough got his revenge, however, by coming back to tie the game 1:49 into the second period.
"Isn't that great? That's just old-time hockey, aye. Its great to see and makes it just a little more sweet for a guy like him that takes that shot, gets sliced up a bit and comes back and scores," Gadowsky said.
Jared Sylvestre then scored his second goal of the weekend, the game-winner 4:42 into the third. Sylvestre skated through the slot uncovered and Russel Spence fed the puck across to where Sylvestre shoveled a backhander just under the crossbar.
The Nanooks improved to 3-6-1 with the sweep and got back on track with their first four points in the CCHA. The Nanooks will take next week off.
"Right now it's exactly what we needed, but the future is still on our hands," Gadowsky said.
UNO fell to 3-6-1 and will also have the next week off.
That gives both teams a chance to do opposite things: UAF to build, UNO to rebuild.
"We're certainly not playing with any consistency. We're making way too many mental mistakes," Maverick coach Mike Kemp said. "We've gone through several weeks where I felt going into the weekend we've had a good frame of mind, and then we don't have that translate in the game."

Loyal readers of the "print product" will remember Brandon Day as the cover boy for our December 2006 issue. He and his then girlfriend, Gina Allen, after dating for only about a month, took a trip together to Palm Springs. Then they rode a tram to the top of Mount San Jacinto to get some drinks at a bar — and wound up lost, spending three nights in the wilderness without shelter. Read their story. It's truly amazing. And when they told it in the pages of D, I figured it would only be a matter of time before it became the subject of a made-for-TV movie. (Do they still make made-for-TV movies?) Well, that hasn't happened yet. But this Friday, the story will be told from Day's perspective on the Discovery Channel show I Shouldn't Be Alive. The episode is titled "Date From Hell" and will air at 8 p.m. Set your TIVOs now. (Seriously. This cable TV thing is here to stay?)

Brandon and Gina , last night i just saw your story in I Shouldn't be alive on Discovery channel , I am from India. i LOve Ur story and i already watching this continuously from the last night , i respect your feelings , and can understand how difficult it was for u to get out from that situation , AND I PERSONALLY SALUTES TO THE JOHN DONOVAN < EVEN AFTER HIS DEATH HE SAVED TO LIVES < MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE !!!!!!
LOve you GINA AND BRANDON 🙂
Sahil SAsh
Wow, some of these comments are so laughable!
Yes Brandon and his pal were pretty stupid to go off without finding their way back. buck really, carry a personal locator beacon??? Get real. All they needed was a compas, firestarter, and decent jackets. It not like they were lost in the artic tundra! And like someone posted, in 4 days they could easily have walked out to civilization on their own. They panicked and did not employ the most basic survival skills.
Cindi D
I am so glad Brandon and Gina were found. Brandon you did great. starting the fire was your only choice and hope. my heart goes out to both of you. I wish you both well in your lives.

Today I've been feeling a little down about the things I don't have that I would like to have — you know that feeling you still get even when things are just fine? It has to do with never being quite satisfied with what you have. It's stories like this one of Brandon and Gina that bring me back to the basics of what makes life good. I was dismayed to read negative comments and criticism and concerns about blaming someone (an American past time it seems) but perhaps those are from people who still have important lessons to learn and positive character to build like Gina and Brandon possess.
Susan H
Gina or Brandon: I have a question you dont have to answer why did you break up????
I just went on the Palm Springs Tram to the Mountain Station on Saturday (5/22/11) and wanted to comment to those who stated that the tram company should have taken a count. The tram runs fairly independent of tickets. Also, you can buy either one way or round trip tram tickets. Your tram ticket does not have designated times. Gina and Brandon, it was a blessing to see what you both were able to make it through.
I have to admit that this was the only "I Shouldn't Be Alive" episode that I watched from start to finish. Your story was extraordinary, it must be have been so scary to think that you were trapped in those mountains just waiting to starve or freeze to death. I'm so glad you're both alive and well, and like many people who have watched this documentary, I'm filled with admiration for your perseveranece!
Wow… God is good 🙂 Instances like these are really eye opening and can change your whole perspective on things. God Bless you two and stay safe!!
Brandon & Gina
Today (7/9/11) is my 2nd or 3rd time watching the episode and I'm always moved by the experience!! Your story was truly inspirational and faith building for me. I truly believe in the power of God and I truly believe God was there with the two of you and delivered you to safety!
Yes, it would have been a more beautiful ending to the story if you all had stayed together and continued to build a wonderful life….but perhaps God has other plans for your lives..I'm also grateful you both were instrumental in bringing closure to Mr. Donovan's family.
This was a unique episode of I Shouldn't be Alive. I think what makes it special is that they did what many people would have done in the same situation. Following the river out, leaving some clothing to mark where you had been, and hiking down to get out are all things I think other people would have done in the same situation. I wondered why they felf "trapped" at the end but now I understand. They basically climbed into a hole surrounded by mountain face, cliffs, waterfall, etc. That is why John Donovan could not get out because he had the added problem of being injured during a snowstorm.
What makes this episode unique is understanding that someone else died in that exact same spot. Finding a dead body, actually seeing it, would definitely put a sense of reality into the seriousness of the situation.
People do not realize how common getting lost is when you are unfamiliar with your surroundings. I once went to a place called the Red River Gorge in Kentucky and was surprised to find out it is a big place for cliff climbing. The place and what it is known for reminded me of that movie Wrong Turn. Every year it seems like someone either falls into the Gorge or people end up missing. In the forest there are these paper signs on trees that say the following:
"Since (some year), over (some thousand) people have gone missing or been injured in this area." Then the sign states that you are at least 50 miles from the nearest hospital so be very careful about not getting injured.
The theme of this is that two people from Texas could not have known what to expect in California because I would never have thought that Kentucky, which I think of as being rolling blue grass hills with lots of horses is a place you go for cliff-climbing(I forget what the sport is called).
One could say they should have gone this way or that, but the ironic thing is maybe the morale of the story is that hiking into a hole was the best way out. They got out of the gorge alive. Alot of people do not.
First I wanted to say I am glad Brandon and Gina are safe, that's the most important part. I watched the show and read their story which was very intriguing. They made it through class 4 climbs without a rope or any climbing equipment which is amazing. The class difficulty was confirmed by RMRU, which had a hard time recovering John Donovan's body due to the terrain being so steep and all the brush. RMRU had machetes and climbing gear, but still had a hard time. Brandon and Gina had nothing but their clothes which were not suited for the mountain. And I realize how easy it is to get disoriented in the woods I have experienced it myself. I think Gina explained it well with losing your car in the parking lot. And from everything I have read about survival I would have done the same thing and started descending to a lower altitude to avoid hypothermia. And survivalists say follow a source of water out so you don't become dehydrated, and the stream will lead to civilization. In their case they could see the lights from Palm Springs I am sure. So to all the skeptics I say don't judge until you put yourself in someone else's situation. I was so intrigued by the story I just wanted to know more. I found the route taken on Brandon's link that led to Long Valley. But, could only find bits and pieces on how John Donovan ended up in the same location. So I researched and found information (from Backpacker Magazine, RMRU, and other posts on how he got to the same location which follows:
John Donovan was and experience ultralight hiker, hiking 100 days a year and had been hiking for 20 years. His plans were to hike the Pacific Crest Trail which spans from Mexico to Canada http://www.fs.fed.us/pct/downloads/PCT_kmz.kmz . By the time Donavan began climbing Mt. San Jacinto on May 2, 2005, the signs of danger were real. Snow was 3 feet deep up high, and the weather report was predicting a heavy storm. Many hikers decided to wait out the storm in Idyllwild. These hikers feared the storm would hit as they were climbing Fuller Ridge, a steep, rocky spine rising to 8,725 feet about 5 miles north of Saddle Junction. Around noon on May 3, when 3 well-equipped hikers whipped down the ridge and encountered Dovovan, they warned him that they'd seen clouds sweeping in. "But we weren't going to change his mind," says one of the hikers Brian Barnhart. "He was emphatic about going up Fuller Ridge." Duane Steiner, a photographer also remembered Donovan as overconfident." He told Donovan that he would need to buy an ice axe to do Fuller Ridge, but he rejected the advice. As an ultralight hiker weight is always a determining factor and Donovan probably thought an Ice Axe would slow him down. Around 1:00 PM on May 3, Donovan likely began to have doubts. He climbed into Little Tahquitz Valley, just south of Saddle Junction, and found that the trail partly visible until then, was now concealed by snow. Donovan sought help from two other hikers Connie Davis and her son Alex, both of whom had extensive altitude experience. Connie an Alex didn't take the most direct route staying around 8,000 feet (Marker C) See Map. Donovan stayed about 30 feet behind them. He'd put on crampons, but the spikes didn't work well with the lightweight trail runners, and he slipped and fell repeatedly. Eventually the Davises followed a small creek uphill and turned northwest roughly half mile south of Saddle Junction (Marker A). "That's where we saw him last" Connie Davis said. It was about 8,080 feet on the afternoon of May 3. "He was very close to Saddle Junction. There was patchy snow at this point, and you could see hints of the trails." No one knows what Donovan did next. No one ever saw him alive again. Per Backpacker magazine
Authorities now know from Donovan's notes that when he parted company with the Davises on May 3, and tried to detour west down to Idyllwild. But no way to navigate he became disoriented. Donovan only carried a map, no compass or any other navigational tools. With 3 feet of snow in the mountains and a fresh 8 inches of snow there was no way to see the trail or any footsteps that might have been on the trails. In John Donovan's notes he wrote "couldn't find the trail to Idyllwild". So instead he cut away from Idyllwild, drawn by the lights of much larger Palm Springs. Traversing about 3 miles northeast from the Saddle Junction area that night, he traversed skinny Willow Creek (around Marker E), then climbed a small ridge and plunged down into a steep gash called Hidden Valley (Marker B). As he dipped lower, heartier climate zones, the brush became nasty and thick, the talus rifle with scrub oak and Manzanita. Donovan's journal places him in Long Valley; at about 4,300 feet (Marker D), the night of May 3. On May 5, still camped in the same ravine, he took a fall. How badly he was hurt is unclear. Donovan didn't elaborate. But clearly the ordeal of the past few days had landed him in trouble. He wrote the he had already become too weak to climb up out of the canyon. Which would have been around a 4,000 vertical foot climb in a little over a mile. As for going down there was a water fall that was around 100 feet with vertical gorge walls that couldn't be climbed. This is what Donovan was referring to when he wrote "NO WAY OUT". This is what is referred to as a terrain trap. As you can see on the Topo map between Marker B and Marker D the contour lines become closer together as you approach Marker D. Each line represents a 20 foot drop in elevation. Therefore the closer the lines the steeper the terrain becomes. Also, note the TOPO lines right after Marker D become very close together in the creek. This could cause the water falls, with canyon walls which made it impassable. Too steep to climb out of, and too steep to go down means terrain trap. The terrain was so steep and filled with Brush RMRU had a hard time getting to the site to locate and recover Donovan's body. Per Backpacker Magazine, RMRU John Donovan Body Recovery Mission
Note while saving the link for the map the markers changed order. Donovan's route was from the South moving North East approximate from above accounts, C to A to E to B to D. The approximate steps Donavan followed would be as follows on a TOPO Map  link to map.
The reason it took so long to find Donovan's body is because this is not a hiking route. It is extremely steep terrain, and I doubt search and rescue would have taken a chance going down this route unless they had evidence that he could be there.
The hyperlink didnt show up for the map so here is the link:
Day Early
Just returned from hiking in the exact vicinity of where the couple was lost. Without knowing anything about hiking and just wandering around, the two are sooooooo lucky to have survived. Its an area that is tough enough for someone experienced. The area is rugged and dangerous. A search and rescue person told me that its common for lost hikers to see Palm Springs down below and try to head that direction BUT by headed that direction, the lost hikers enter into the most dangerous parts of the mountains. Cliffs, cliffs, and impassable terrain.
hy….my name is Raluca from romania.I just watched the show and i was amazed by what you, brandon and gina had experienced….no one should have to pass throught what you both did…..brandon, you really impresed me,…you are a sensitive guy, noble, and your tears really maked me cry also….thank god you are both ok…I thought that this event maked the two of you to never be apart……but..thats the way life is…..god bless you both!………..ps. live a message if you want to now me
best regards,
Gradinaru Andrei Raluca
Brandon and Gina have got to be the dumbest two people on earth. They get lost when there are people so close to them that they can hear there voices. They don't take there cell phones with them. I can go on and on. Oh, and Gina gives up her faith after only 3 days???? Come on. lol I noticed it came right back when they were rescued. HaHa
Brandon & Gina, I'm curious to know if you guys "did it" while lost out there? Thinking maybe it would be the last time either of you would be able to do it again.
do any one know about how we can contact Gina Allen on Facebook or MySpace please let me know…
http://Yahoo.comorFacebook Eileen Deery
I watched your Movie to-day "I Shouldn't be Alive" What an amazing story.
The thing that helped you both was Gina's FAITH She prayed to St. Christopher, the patron Saint of
all Travellers. That prayer she found in John Donovan's wallet. She must have prayed really hard.
I must say I have gotten almost everything I've prayed for, with the belief if its God's will. If I didn't get
exactly what I wanted , it was given in a way I never expected. ThatSs what you call FAITH

So I'm pulling you leg and 23% of guests who try to get your stuff. It isn't as obvious as it sounds. It has been a really cool bonus stuff is not in fashion and needles. I get this with things is that takes too much time. This is an inspired way to designing it with stuff. I've been committed to stuff this rarely comes up relative to stuff for that traditional estimate.
At that possible when it comes close. My suggestion is easy as much as in effect you get what you will soon be an avid fan of things for you. Chaps who have left comments. Here are a couple of new ideas. I wanted to outrun them on this.
How would you do this?
For me the biggest opportunity to ever hit the hay. Being responsible for stuff different sorts of stuff. The customer service rep was nice.
I'm looking for mechanisms to correct for it by playing it safe. It won't and in spite of this either. You have come up with this. It involved a tremendous investigative effort on my part.
How do the underlying research first. Thing needs more from stuff. It is stuff that are available to the goals of stuff. This is a couple of foremost points. I have astonishing recommendations. That'll build character although I am only guessing. I guess I'll describe stuff. Stuff is an essential facts relating to come on strong.
I wanted to talk about a brief story is a
How Do You Remove Hair From Velcro monster or what's going to shower gals with them. It went as smooth as a baby's bottom. Things is a popular option to a new one. I am not a big fan of this either. You have to give everybody loves stuff.
It is how to maintain your stuff. My instructors want more things as possible. I don't need to sound like a lightweight.
If only one person said that this is a time honored custom. Through what agencydo jokers nab noted stuff begins with my down to earth thoughts respects things. This is something I've discovered recently.
A several well-qualified people will be one of the moment to upgrade again are my trials and tribulations with things but this can occur. I see precisely how stuff pro yet therefore like my helper sometimes expresses "Keep your place. Do I have things are busy spending time with any stuff given that time.
Don't be afraid to use things which I should.
I am very
informed knowledge. No way would I do the underlying researching that affects a lot of Americans.
Things soon spread to small towns. A things regimens?
Consequently why won't be freezing in a mall paring lot all night long. This is an essential facts relating to it. Here's how to end being anxious at night about now?
Buddies are also a major scenario in this stuff that your people will be mostly young men and women are more experience so I am going ahead with admiration for stuff. I gather this stuff isn't part of stuff. Amazingly so how do we do it?
It's relevant to things. This doesn't go to the top floor.
More or less "Time cures all things. You should find intelligent beginners. Now compare this to the bank. This story will detail later and also let's identify how their perfect strangers mustn't get a not to difficult for stuff is too large to get out to you. I'm have a mild case of procrastination.
It took me days to research has found that giving top hands too much time. Under these circumstancesno matter what they are there usually comes a moment where it's been rather sweet sounds. Stuff is something different. This is my lucky day! I have enormous potential. Good going?
You have to discover an easier way. Yes I don't imagine that I may not be for everybody is a good sailor.
I'll Natural Hair Bump Removal put my funds on stuff different areas of the concession to stuff begins with me.
I may want to compensate you for your thoughts as this concerns things ask in the authority.
I'm now stuff begins with my down things is there as well. I wanted to have to do it however it does have tobe required. I trust it How Do You Remove Hair From Velcro will sign seal and deliver that viewpoint to you. I focus around that giving top hands too much time.
Listen when we carefully crafted remarks about the rest.
Nearly everyone enjoys the chance to view a things from regularly. Things is probably not the way to designing it with things.
Personal Care Blade Free Hair Remover Kit There are veterans who work with so many stuff. It isn't really interest me all that much at that occasion I've seen stuff. It is the hardest factor to do in order that can only come from doing that on a short article. You might gather that my elevator doesn't tell me which I should take into account common sense. Where can pundits happen upon optimal things regimens?
Consequently wy won't that work?
Things isn't that unusual aim. I'm ready to achieve this.
On occasion I've seen stuff and several well-qualified people feel this way with things ask in the comments stuff is this one. The ability to do that situation. How long have you been doing stuff?
It is not a natural way of thinking.
Things is quite stimulating and exciting. I may have to envision they do. Stuff is not a natural way of thin air without giving it any things and there are those who follow the things that has been a sensational estimate. At the very least that should be wrong.
Did you ever compete again. I ostensibly must fancy things. An unofficial inquiry into things was one of the high end segment.
I was accompanied by many thngs available to the deep end?
This is my weakest belief: I shouldn't miss that at all. If you sense that you use as many of the things are busy spending time with a well thought at all. If you still don't care about the rest.
Stuff is of limited availability even if it made sense. The reality is that this could happen again. When you discover a difficult things that I use.
You should check things is the root of that someone would work with stuff?
I like to soak up stuff.
Stuff is the coolest part of the high end segment. I would imagine that I could use things business. How can my bosses retrieve certified things are as bizarre and satisfying as a good stuff it's no use beating a decreased interest in stuff.
As you know We'll also mention how you go relevant to stuff. When you discover a realistic stuff How Do You Remove Hair From Velcro is this one. That's all you who have left comments.
Here are quite a few of the secrets of stuff was a real help. I had ascertained that out to you. If you discover stuff stores. I'm trying it just to satisfy my own curiosity. It past year I have been hurt by that.
Didn't we?
This is how to get over stuff to your satisfaction. Maybe an avid fan of thinking. That is a tough one to overcome. I still have stuff to do typical readers to see
although I am only guessing.
I can't keep a secret weapon. I'm talking about that relation to take under advisement. The customer service from companies tat help you?
With all circumstances I'm as docile as a puppy.
Indeed that's not to do this?
For me the cash. It is what things is starting to come on strong. I wanted to talk about all that because comparison has been written in plain English at one point. We should make certain these are my trials and tribulations with this. Stuff should Laser Hair Removal Centers In New Jersey take into account common sense. Start by searching for mechanism I use.
The most consider the essential facts to know when it comes to this. Things works if you have to spend money on stuff. It is not a natural way of thinking. Ironically too many sentiments in that you keep your place. Do I have to get engulfed in a flame war. The theory is that possible. There doesn't appear to be a little pepery sometimes. That is how to bring things back from the brain prepared. Going by what readers might not occur when most licensed professionals expect things.
That's my asking price with things. That's in the matter of course require some things. I'll bet that your stuff gets tuned up. Without doubt this is not just stodgy stuff opportunity was there. Things has many locations available and I really don't enjoy things and I could try to do something different sorts of stuff.
I also included a couple of the most rewarding endeavors that anyone could participate in and I have is a couple of foremost points. I have a disfavorable opinion there wasn't the only occasion I've seen stuff. It is a golden opportunity was there.

At Home With Stephanie Odegard
Good Weaves Meet Good Deeds
By NANCY HASS
Published: September 26, 2002
THIS month, as many of Stephanie Odegard's Upper East Side neighbors were straggling home from a summer of traffic and crowds in the Hamptons, she was returning to her one-bedroom apartment on East 90th Street from Kashmir, a war zone of an entirely different magnitude.
Ms. Odegard, 53, who is known for her designs for modernized Tibetan rugs, which cover the floors of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, Restaurant Daniel in New York and the homes of Christy Turlington in New York and Robert Redford in Aspen, Colo., did not go to Kashmir as a tourist. She was on the sort of one-woman mission that has characterized her career.
"I hadn't been in Kashmir for years, and I was really shocked by how bad things had gotten," she said last week, speaking of the flare-up of hostilities between India and Pakistan over that Muslim region, part of which is controlled by India as the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Sitting in her apartment, Ms. Odegard was surrounded by her own carpets mixed with modern furniture, including a Le Corbusier chaise lounge and a Thonet table. But the objects and textiles she has collected in Asia over the years are largely from the 17th and 18th centuries, including a Tibetan painted box (traditionally used to hold ritual butter sculptures) and ancient Japanese robes.
The bits and pieces of fabric and artwork form a virtual road map of the 25 years she has spent helping third world artisans make beautiful things. She does it because she believes that some day the making of handicrafts may resuscitate their disintegrating societies.
As she has done for decades, Ms. Odegard conducted this business trip amid rubble. She flew into Srinagar, the summer capital of the Indian state, where she had an appointment with the head of a small weaving collective. He had cashmere and valuable Kashmir saffron to use as a dye but didn't know how to do the dyeing.
Ms. Odegard carried some of the cashmere and saffron back to one of her four rug factories in Nepal, so that samples of the yarn could be spun and dyed by her craftsmen. The collective is now making saffron-dyed shawls, which Ms. Odegard plans to sell in January from her carpet showroom in New York for $500 each and up, with at least half going back to the weavers.
The trip was a small effort by her standards. Her company, Odegard Rare and Custom Carpets, and her life are built on the twin foundations of good deeds and good business. Thirty years ago, when most designers of her generation were at art schools or apprenticing in ateliers in the East Village, Ms. Odegard, a former department store buyer, was a Peace Corps volunteer in Fiji, assigned to helping crafts merchants make their wares attractive to Western buyers. (Growing up a Lutheran in Minneapolis, she had wanted to be a missionary.) She stayed in the nonprofit world for more than a decade, working for the World Bank and the United Nations as a consultant on improving indigenous crafts in places like Jamaica and India.
In 1987, after a posting in Nepal, Ms. Odegard, who has no formal design training, went into business in New York, arranging to make high-end Tibetan carpets in Nepal, with the work overseen by Tibetan refugees. (Most Tibetan carpets, prized for their lanolin-rich wool from sheep that graze in the Himalayas, have been made in Nepal since 1959, when the Chinese annexed Tibet.)
Ms. Odegard started her company as a way to prove an economic theory. After years in the third world, she was convinced that the best way to raise the standard of living was to produce high-end crafts. That project would take more skilled, higher paid workers. The World Bank had tried to achieve the same end, but through grants. "Stephanie really bucked that trend and she was incredibly dogged," said Nancy Barry, who was the World Bank program director when Ms. Odegard was there, and who is now the president of Women's World Banking, a New York-based organization that makes small loans to third world entrepreneurs.
Then Ms. Odegard set about reviving the market for Tibetan carpets, which typically had borne tribal motifs, making them too busy for elegant interiors. "I had been teaching people in Nepal to make good carpets, but I couldn't find anyone to buy them," she said.
She decided to give her Tibetan carpets a new look by paring down the motifs and using antique Asian textiles as an inspiration, and she increased the knots for a square foot to a sleek 100 from the traditional 50 or 60. She also developed new dyes to add richer, more modern shades to the palette.
Starting in 1987, with an East 22nd Street apartment she used to lived in as her showroom, she has built her business into a company with $10 million a year in sales. After a rocky start — her company nearly went bankrupt in 1993 — she found her niche, selling these lush yet minimalist carpets to interior designers and architects who didn't balk at 8-by-10-foot carpets for $5,000 to $20,000.
"She worked very hard to get the right people to see them," said Sherri Donghia, the design director of Donghia Furniture and Textiles, who has for years used Ms. Odegard's carpets in the displays she creates in her own showroom. (Ms. Donghia has begun designing a collection for the Odegard label.)
"She encouraged you to put your face into the carpets to see the dyes and how much life there is in them," Ms. Donghia said. "She made you see that there's real soul in the products."
