The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is the first and only robotic radiosurgery system designed to treat tumors anywhere in the body, including the brain, spine, lung, liver, pancreas and prostate. It delivers high doses of radiation with pin-point, sub-millimeter accuracy. Because the CyberKnife System can deliver radiation beams from virtually any direction, the radiation beams are focused precisely on the tumor minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissue and nearby critical structures like the spinal cord or optic nerve.
Conventional radiation therapy (radiotherapy) administers a broad beam of radiation from one to two directions in 30 to 45 treatments. It delivers low-dose beams of radiation over a period of 6 to 8 weeks - the time required to allow healthy tissue damaged during treatment to recover.
CyberKnife radiosurgery delivers high-dose beams of radiation - which can be more effective in killing tumors anywhere in the body. This system can deliver radiation beams from virtually unlimited directions with sub-millimeter accuracy. With radiosurgery, damage to surrounding healthy tissue is minimized; therefore the treatment can be completed typically in one to five days.
Other tumors and conditions anywhere in the body where radiation treatment is indicated.
In most patients there are minimal to no side effects associated with the CyberKnife treatments. Your doctor can advise you of possible adverse effects based on your type of cancer and your specific treatment plan.
Accuray has given cancer patients another treatment option with the development of the world's first and only dedicated radiosurgery device: The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System. With the CyberKnife System, radiosurgery is no longer limited to treating tumors in the head and neck.
Accurate - The CyberKnife System enables clinicians to confidently treat tumors with minimal harm to surrounding healthy tissue by delivering high doses of radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy (within the width of a hair).
Flexible - The CyberKnife System offers maneuverability and versatility that is unsurpassed by traditional radiation systems. By delivering radiation beams from virtually unlimited positions, the CyberKnife System can treat tumors anywhere in the body from any angle including the brain, spine, lung, liver, pancreas and prostate.
Robotic - The CyberKnife System continually tracks tumor position, detects any tumor or patient movement and automatically corrects the treatment delivery - without the need to manually reposition the patient or interrupt the treatment, thereby slowing down the treatment process.
Beneficial - The CyberKnife System provides a pain-free, non-invasive alternative for patients, including those diagnosed with previously inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or for patients who are looking for an alternative to surgery.
Non-invasive - The CyberKnife System does not require invasive head or body frames.
Yes, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the CyberKnife System for the treatment of tumors in the head, neck and upper spine in 1999 and for the treatment tumors anywhere in the body where radiation is indicated in 2001.
Scanning - Prior to treatment with the CyberKnife System, the patient undergoes imaging procedures to determine the size, shape and location of the tumor. The process begins with a standard high-resolution CT scan, and for certain tumors other imaging techniques, such as MRI, angiography, or PET, may also be used.
Planning - Following the scanning, the image data is then digitally transferred to the CyberKnife System's treatment planning workstation, where the treating physician identifies the exact size, shape and location of the tumor. A qualified clinician then uses the CyberKnife software to generate a treatment plan to provide the desired radiation dose to the identified tumor location while avoiding damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. The patient does not need to be present during this step in the process.
Treatment - During a CyberKnife procedure, a patient lies comfortably on the treatment table, which automatically positions the patient. Anesthesia is not required, as the procedure is painless and non-invasive. The treatment generally lasts between 30 and 90 minutes and is typically completed in one to five visits.
Follow-up - Follow-up imaging, generally performed with a combination of CT, MRI and/or PET scanning, is usually performed in the months following treatment to assess the tumor's response to the delivered radiation.
While Accuray cannot guarantee reimbursement from any third-party payer, data collected from U.S. based CyberKnife Centers indicate that more than 100 unique commercial and private payers are reimbursing the related codes and any or all portions of the CyberKnife services. Patients should always consult with a physician in connection with any and all treatment options and obtain prior authorization from their insurance companies once a treatment option is determined.

Recently each year there are world leaders and decision makers from all sectors and political viewpoints coming together to discuss changes and innovations to energy needs and the factors such as world population, climate change, and current population needs.(http://about.bnef.com/summit/) This summit costs more than I can afford to attend though it seems well documented enough to help inspire us at any level of desire to share the messages of hope and change and bring about our local needed changes.
I used to be involved with a few groups here locally that focused more on energy reduction but either I've lost the loop or the attraction of the inaction and/ or the direction some take just don't get my attention. Don't get me wrong as we do have some wonderfully aware activist actions that stand up to some of the environmental and social wrongs that try to encroach,I've just become a product of my environment that wrestles with his latest appointment to yay and nay. A few of us still like to share messages from things we continue to learn about and post them on various social media sites and the following one works to get the attention of a few of use in hopes to keep the fire burning. ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/NaplesCollier-Sustainable-Team/2076112526...
With what seems like daily oil spills lately we surely must find a way to address energy needs on a global level and the threads of all that are the engines to our concerns such as current and forecast-ed world population growth which obviously creates a greater need for all on a limited resource planet. I still have faith that we are on a caring and loving paradigm shift away from the greed that has controlled our laws and decisions for far too long, may the generations that take control be of the true educated and caring variety.
May my each day be one of mindfulness and desire to do the next right thing for our gracious Mother Earth and all that she holds dear

Between the Rhine plains and the forests of the Odenwald lies the mountainous road, the Bergstrasse with green vineyards, manors, castles and blossoms of fruit trees that dazzle in the spring. The Bergstrasse served as a trade route for the Romans. Traces of history go back more than 2000 years. Timber framed houses, castles, cobblestone streets tie quaint towns along the Bergstrasse together.
Stuck in my mind with tons of reprints is a children's story that I always wanted to tell. I got sidetracked with BUT I THOUGHT I WAS MOMMY'S BABY about the arrival of a new baby and a cat who is adjusting to the change in the house. FELINE FRACTALS FANTASY finds the two cats, Bex and Phil in fractal form with funny cat quotes. Ever since I dressed cats in doll clothes when I was little, cats have been my inspiration for most of my stories. In A CAT ABROAD ON THE STREETS OF HEIDELBERG Phil tells his incredible tale of getting stuck in a suitcase and then ending up in Heidelberg, Germany. I found cows delightful and put them into print in UDDERLY RIDICULOUS, look for them later. HEPPENHEIM AND BENSHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE is A PHOTO TOUR that can be found on Blurb as well.

Miley Cyrus is proud of the five-foot bong that she created out of the colorful gifts her fans have given to her. She posted a picture of her creation on her Instagram account on Sunday, according to Yahoo News on Aug. 18.
Her fans sent her some colorful "super-bright Smiler rave bracelets" which she added to the bong creation. Some of the bracelets seen sport the names that mean a lot to the girl-gone-wild pop star! "Twerk" and "Bangerz" are names associated with Cyrus, but "Floyd" is her beloved dog that died a while back, points out E Online.
While Miley has made no secret of her love for marijuana. She once said that "Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is much better. And Molly too. Those are happy drugs-social drugs. They make you want to be friends." She said this during an interview with Rolling Stone last year. O.K., your fans get it, you smoke pot, now move on to something else.
Miley has lost her shock value because she's done so much in her young life to drop jaws that building a bong to share on Instagram in a picture is child's play considering her antics of yesteryear. While it is fine that she likes pot, she still has some young fans out there and instead of building something constructive and maybe displaying a healthy goal, she builds a bong.
Hasn't she got the angst out yet? Even the language is enough to make you want to scream to her "It's time to grow up!" Along with the bong she posted "5 foot bong almost complete this one is a collab with my f—king beyond kiewl fanz." She also thanked her fans for "Smiler rave bracelets."
Miley has the right to be as obnoxious and crass as she wants to now that she's an adult, but wouldn't you like to see her do something that she hasn't borrowed from someone else?
How cool would it be to see Miley do something that no one else is doing. She has tried to look like Pink with her hair style and she seems to be making pot her anthem, but that's all been done before. For a long time now she's been showing as much skin as she possible can like Lady Gaga and the list goes on. Even her concert moves and costumes seem to mirror what Lady Gaga became famous for.
She has a talent, no one can say any different when it comes to her singing. When she puts emotion behind a song, like "Wrecking Ball" there's no one to compare her to, she's truly an original in that respect. When it comes to "Wrecking Ball" you just can't say enough about her voice and the feeling she puts into that song.
You can feel her pain and you understand what she is trying to convey in that song to her soul mate. If you ever wonder how Miley felt about the one true love of her life, you can listen to that song and you'll know. She appears to take the blame for that relationship demise. His name doesn't need to be mentioned, as all her fans know who it is!

My questions are:
Am I the legal custodial parent of my daughter?
I was never married to her father, although he is on the birth certificate, & he had a DNA test done to prove that she is his.
Can I move out of state [I live in North Carolina] without his permission?
Can I have him arrested if he takes her without MY permission?
What are HIS rights, does he have ANY?
She is 8 years old, and though he has given us money for support, and I have allowed him to visit her in my home {only}, we have never been to court or signed ANY legal papers.

text: After my trip to Dallas this weekend and ending up in some interesting neighborhood, I've decided to find a good way to carry my XD SC40 instead of relying on my TCP all the time. I am either going to get a Comptac Minotaur or Crossbreed ST. Any advice or opinions on choosing one over the other. The only thing that I don't like about the Minotaur is that the clips on the CB are flush and the attachment points for the clips on the CT kind of stick out. Had been considering the Remora but after this weekend using it with my 642, I've changed my mind.

After soliciting the assistance of a Face Book friend and Small Group member, we discovered that things were not showing up on our news feeds. Face Book has changed a lot of things (see 'List Pictures') and may not have notified their users of such changes. New things have appeared on the site and you may not be aware
If you've been feeling a little insecure, don't worry. You're not alone. Things that you post may not be getting out there to your friends and family members, but make sure you check before you start rolling your eyes at people or avoiding them altogether.
First, make sure that your 'settings' are turned on so that at least your friends/family can see your stuff. How you decide to control your settings is totally up to you. You may not want the world to see your page. You will need to be specific and tag each one of your friends as you desire. My philosophy is, "If you don't speak to me in public, or interact with me on social media – why would you want to be my friend?"
A "Like" on a post or comment is an acknowledgment that someone has read your post and agree with your thoughts. Sometimes a 'like' is not appropriate, yet you could leave a comment or not say anything at all if you don't agree or understand.
If you post something that a person doesn't desire to read, or that may not interest them – then they may not want to get "notifications" from your page. They may choose to make comments to your posts from their news feed. Don't get your feelings hurt. Guns, sports, videos, witty sayings, pass-it-ons or girly-girl things may not interest them.
Social media is very helpful, informative and keeps people in-the-loop of what's happening in your life and theirs. If you aren't hearing from people, check in on them and see if they are OK. Ask around and see if your 'posts' are getting viewed. Chances are, you may have to do some adjusting, nonetheless – check and see. Hope this information has been helpful.
On your home page click "Friends". There you can click "Get Notifications" if you want to see everything that the post. You can also classify each on as "Close Friends/Family", Acquaintances, or make other lists like, "Church Members", "Military", "Coworkers", or "Hometown". There you can "unfriend" someone, but hopefully you won't have to do that.
On any post, there's a 'drop-down-arrow' that permits you to "Edit" your post and other things. If you misspell a word and made submitted the information, this is where you could make changes or 'delete' the entire post. If someone else posted on your wall and you don't want it there, you can 'Hide from your Timeline'.
The 'drop-down-arrow' in the blue box is also where you 'log out' and where your "Setting" will appear. There you can usually find the errors that might have made some of your posts invisible to your friends. If you're not sure or are a little skittish about changing things, grab a pen & paper and jot down what you change.
In your 'Settings', you will find your 'Notifications'. This red number atop the little globe on the blue strip informes you of people who 'like' something you posted, or made a comment to something that you or someone else may have said. Inside this area, you can change how you want to find out that "you've got FB mail".
Timeline and Tagging
'Timeline and Tagging' is also in your 'Settings' and allows you to be as private or public as you wish. You are in control of how much or how little people can see you your posts, pictures, videos etc. Take your time and view each section and don't be leary of trying something.
Face Book Page
This is called a "Face Book Page" or "Fan Page" and the regular page that most people post on is called a "Profile Page". The "Fan Page" is a place where you can highlight your business. My page has articles from my Examiner.com columns, links to my website and other posts that I find interesting or amusing. Anyone can 'like' the information and post comments once you "Like" the page and hopefully click that you want to get 'Notifications'.

Dear Bossip: I Have 7 Kids, But Only 1 Belongs To Him & He Got Another Girl Pregnant
Dear Bossip,
Well, I have been with this dude for about 4 years. He's everything to me, and he has been there through thick and thin.
I always had his back whenever he got locked up. He is only 8 years younger than me. I have 7 children, but only one of them is his. He works on a garbage truck and every morning I wake up at 3:00am to take him to work, but he doesn't help with the bills or provide for his child at ALL! Not to include that I have to do everything on my own with no job. I pay his phone bill, and I support his habit (smoking).
So, last year I found out he was talking to another girl and she claimed that she is pregnant by him, which means she should be about 8 months pregnant now. So, about a week ago I get a random message on Facebook. This girl tells me that she knows where I stay, she knows what kind of car I drive, and that she's seen us leaving together before.
She says that she is confused because he is supposed to be her boyfriend, and he tells her that I'm dropping him off at his mom's house. Soon as I confronted him with this information he told me that the girl is lying, so I forgave him. A few days passed and he proposed to me. So, I am confused on if I should spend the rest of my life with this man or if he is not worth it at all. – Ms. Love Me Some Him
Dear Ms. Love Me Some Him,
Really? Really! You love you some him!
Girl, stop! Just stop this madness. You have 7 children, and only one of them belongs to him. You don't have a job, yet, you are paying his cell phone bill, and supporting his weed habit. You see people, this right here is the prime example of how your tax dollars are being spent with those who use the government as a crutch, and instead of providing and caring for their children they are busy taking care of grown ass trifling no-good men who ain't –ish and won't be –ish!
You mean to tell me that you wake your nappy headed ass up at 3:00 in the morning to take him to work, and he doesn't help with any bills or provide for his child? What are you thinking when you are getting out of your bed, starting your car up, picking him up, taking him to work, and then going back home? Oh, my bad, silly me, you don't have a brain. Donkey's don't think, they just do.
Let me ask you this: Who is home with your children when you leave at 3:00 in the morning? Do you even wake up and get your own kids ready for school in the morning? Do you even put in the same amount of effort of caring for your children and providing for them as you do for the very man who does not provide for his child AT ALL? Process those questions and let me know what you come up with.
What's also sad is that you're concerned about him and this other chick who is pregnant and carrying his child. This same man whom you wake up at 3:00 in the morning to take to work, and he doesn't help in any shape, form, or fashion with you and his child. So, while you're taking him to work, he finds the time to lay up with her, and carry on another relationship, but you say that you are confused because you're not sure if you want to spend the rest of your life with him. Are you freaking kidding me right now? WOW! WOW! WOW! There truly is a genetic stupid mutation happening right under our noses, and you were able to write your letter and email it without being caught. I'm deleting this immediately. I don't want the government coming after me!
But, hold up, let's look at the fact that this man who doesn't provide anything financially, emotionally, or mentally for his own child, however, he's willing to take money from you and allow you to pay his cell phone bill, and his pound of weed. Does that make any type of logical sense to you? In your reasoning mind, does that even sound like a man who is capable or able to propose marriage to you, and come into your home and care for you and your 7 children?
Look here, Miss, I don't know who the father of your other children may be, but, lawd, please, please, please I do hope that you….wait, wait, wait a freaking minute…you've been with this man for 4 years, and you say that he's been there through thick and thin, and you've been there for him whenever he's been locked up. How is this possible? How can he be there for you if he's frequently locked up? How has he been there through thick and thin, yet, he's not supporting his child? Is his d**king you down compensation for paying his cell phone bill, and supporting his weed habit? Where did you learn that a relationship is being with a man who doesn't care for his child, you take care of him, and he sleeps with other women?
The problem is not with him. The problem is you! You have allowed this to happen, and it began with child number 1. You began this pattern with whomever the men you've allowed to use you as a doormat and dumping post for their semen. You've allowed yourself to misconstrue love and sex, and having a baby as a commitment, and some possible way of having a man to remain with you. There is something that you are lacking, and I'm certain that it's because you didn't have love in your home. Your father is definitely not in your life, and your mother did not provide any type of structure for how to conduct yourself as a lady. You've been searching for love, and a father figure (The Looking For Daddy Syndrome) all your life, and any man who shows you some type of affection it makes you feel loved and wanted. And, thus, your 7 children, also give you some type of love and feelings of being needed and wanted.
Girl, let me stop because this can go on for a while. To answer your question, this man is not serious about marrying you. He is not remotely interested in having you as his wife. Just as he has cheated on you and got another woman pregnant, and you support him financially, emotionally, mentally, and physically, you will always find yourself giving of yourself to him to prove your love for him, yet, he will not do anything to give of himself to you, nor will he give you his heart and love. He's selfish, immature, and definitely not a man. So, if this is the type of man you want, then knock yourself out, and I wish you a blessed married life. – Terrance Dean

RADNOR, Pa. (Oct. 20, 2009) — Cabrini College is one of five recipients of a Higher Education Civic Engagement Award, a new honor from the prestigious Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars.
Cabrini was recognized for an innovative approach for integrating civic and social responsibility into curriculums, and for a commitment to service-learning and civic participation.
Dr. Marie Angelella George, president of Cabrini College, accepted the award at a ceremony yesterday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
The Washington Center is based in Washington, D.C., and promotes work and learning experiences for students and recent graduates.
"Cabrini students are doing extraordinary work in communities locally and globally," said Dr. George. "This award celebrates the accomplishments of Cabrini students and further validates the College's commitment to social justice, academic excellence and transformational learning."
In the nomination letter for the award, Cabrini faculty described a new core curriculum, Justice Matters, and the College's local and global partnerships.
Justice Matters is designed so that all Cabrini students become involved in increasingly sophisticated real-world, community-based problem solving that recognizes the needs and assets of global and local communities. Justice Matters includes a sequence of developmentally linked courses taken in the first, second and third years, with a capstone project in the student's major in the fourth year.
Cabrini has received more than $1.6 million from public and private sources to fund service learning and service initiatives.
A partnership with the College's neighboring community of Norristown has allowed Cabrini to provide academic preparation, health and wellness, cultural development, and career development services to at-risk youth. In 2008, the College received a three-year grant from the Pew Foundation to create a prisoner re-entry program in the Norristown area.
Last year, Cabrini was one of nine Pennsylvania colleges and universities (and 111 nationwide) recognized for community engagement by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching for "Curricular Engagement" and "Outreach and Partnerships," and has been named three times to the President's Higher Education Community Honor Roll for General Community Service, including twice with distinction.
Nationally, the College is among the first to incorporate community service into its core curriculum, and is the first college or university in Pennsylvania to require community service of all undergraduate students.
Through the Washington Center, Cabrini students have worked at the White House, the Department of State, the Department of the Treasury and CNN.

An advocate for families who lost loved ones in drunken driving accidents doesn't spend much time in Medina County. That's because there are fewer serious accidents involving drugs and alcohol here than in surrounding areas.
Julie Leggett, executive director of Mother's Against Drunk Driving's Northeast Ohio affiliate, spoke to members of law enforcement agencies throughout the county Thursday morning as the Medina County Safe Communities Coalition kicked off its annual "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign.
Leggett said MADD served 400 Ohio families who either lost a loved one or suffered an injury in a drunken driving accident.
She held up a photo of Kent State University student Elizabeth Faulkner, who was killed in October 2006 by a drunken driver.
"Her mother sent me a check and this photograph," Leggett said, holding up a senior photo of Faulkner. "She said Elizabeth was her only daughter and asked me to do everything I could to help prevent drunk driving.
"When you're out on patrol, please help me complete my task for Elizabeth's mom."
Leggett said the work of law enforcement has kept alcohol-related accidents in Medina lower than in surrounding counties.
Brunswick Officer Jerry Klue, who administers the Safe Communities grant and program, said law enforcement in the county is successful because of the participation from all police departments.
"Every chief in the county is on board," Klue said. "Other places around the state sometimes struggle to get everyone to the table."
The cooperation allows the coalition to implement a countywide OVI Task Force targeting high-crash areas and places where officers report a high number of arrests for operating a vehicle while impaired. So far, the task force has conducted nine sobriety checkpoints this year and three more are planned before 2013 ends.
All the law enforcement agencies are willing to work together and Sheriff Tom Miller gives officers countywide jurisdiction to allow for the checkpoints to be staffed with officers from all departments.
"There's no doubt what we're doing is efficient, and it's only efficient because everyone comes together," Klue said.
The statistics back up Klue's statements, said Lt. Bill Haymaker, commander of the Ohio Highway Patrol's Medina post. In 2012, 13 percent of crashes were alcohol- or drug-related, but that figure has dropped to 7 percent so far in 2013.
The number of fatal crashes also is down, he said. At this time last year, there were six fatal crashes in the county; so far, there has been one this year.
On June 13, 22-year-old Mateo Ralios Delacruz's vehicle went left of center on state Route 18 and crashed head-on into a car, killing passenger Chad Nelson, 29, of Brunswick. The patrol said Ralios had a blood-alcohol content of 0.123 and did not have a driver's license. He has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, aggravated vehicular assault and receiving a stolen vehicle.
Haymaker said that while he is pleased fatal crashes are down, the June 13 fatal crash could have been prevented by a decision to not drink and drive.
"If this person, this 22-year old person, had made the decision to not drink, we would not have had that fatal crash," he said.
The national "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign launches Aug. 16 and ends Sept. 2. Klue said the goal is not just a focus on traffic enforcement, but a public awareness campaign about the dangers of drinking and driving. He said officers throughout the county are always on the lookout for drunken drivers and that will continue with the work of the OVI Task Force.
The officers also heard Thursday from Dr. Mark Meechum, the county's assistant coroner and medical director of Brunswick Family Health Center, about the effect alcohol has on a person operating a car, even at levels that are below the legal limit of 0.08.
"Even at .02 … we start to see some loss of judgment … and a little trouble with multitasking," Meechum said.

Why Are Computers So Bad At Jokes?
That was the question a group of researchers—including The New Yorker's Cartoon Editor, Bob Mankoff—asked in a study highlighted by Arxiv and MIT's Technology Review. And really, asking why robots can't tell jokes is a roundabout way of asking why humans find anything funny.

Listing stop motion artist, independent filmmaker & graphic designer as talents on his Vimeo profile, Kangmin Kim puts all his skills to optimum effect with the breathtaking animation 38-39°C.
38-39˚c gives us the blueprint of a relationship between a father and son inside the dream the protagonist experiences while under the spell of the elevated temperatures of a bathhouse. Thick sheets of paper in exquisite arrangement represent the two men who are linked by their identical birthmarks, yet cannot seem to look at each other. —- Maureen Selwood
It's an animation that only gets more stunning when you realise the work and craft put into it:

Still wondering how it could be that the Tony Awards nominating committee came up with just four shows to fill the five slots in the best musical category? Me, too. So I excavated the TonyAwards.com site and found the explanation by clicking through to a pdf titled: NEW RULE ON NUMBER OF NOMINEES IN EACH OF THE FOUR BEST SHOW CATEGORIES
First, you should know that the nominating committee consists of a rotating group of 50 theater professionals who are required to see each of the eligible shows. Now here's the accounting rule that delivered a knockout punch to musicals such as "The Bridges of Madison County," "Rocky," "Bullets Over Broadway" and "If/Then," while giving us a lean four best musical nominees: "A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder," "After Midnight," "Aladdin" and "Beautiful -- The Carole King Musical":
"Where there are nine or more eligible shows in a Best Show category, at the Tony Nominating Meeting, the Nominating Committee will be instructed to cast one vote each for four eligible shows as nominees on his/her secret ballot. Such ballot shall be collected and tabulated by a representative of the Accounting Firm. The four eligible shows with the highest number of votes will automatically be the nominees in such category. The Accounting Firm will determine if a fifth nominee shall be added to the category in the event that the difference in votes between the fourth highest ranked show and the
fifth highest ranked show is three votes or less."
There are probably a lot of people scratching their heads today and wondering, "Missed it by how much?"

End the settlement complicitySeptember 23,2013
The international campaign to end Ben & Jerrys complicity in Israels occupation and illegal settlement regime continues to gain momentum. On Sept. 9, Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel released a letter to CEO Jostein Solheim signed by 151 civil society organizations (www.vtjp.org/icecream/internatletter.php). It calls on Ben & Jerrys to stand by its social mission and to ensure that its products are not sold, catered and distributed in Israeli settlements.
The companys social mission articulates a commitment to the welfare, security and dignity of all communities, local, national and international. It cannot be reconciled with an Israeli settlement project in Palestine that is, the letter asserts, predicated on systematic repression, racial segregation, land dispossession, the unlawful expropriation of water, and pervasive violence against Palestinians.
The letter has garnered support from across the country and the world. Groups in 28 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, plus those in eight countries (including Israel) and the West Bank, sent an unequivocal message to Ben & Jerrys: (C)onsistent with international law and Ben & Jerrys social mission, we call on you to take all necessary contractual and legal measures to bring your franchises settlement business to an end in a verifiable way, and to release a public statement of your companys commitment to end its business ties to Israels occupation and settlement enterprise.
We urge Vermonters to contact Ben & Jerrys and urge it to sever its Israeli franchises business ties to Jewish-only settlements in occupied Palestine.

About Shanti and the Magic Mandala:
Shanti and the Magic Mandala is an adventure in which fantasy and reality are mingled. The book tells the story of six teenagers, from different religious and cultural origins and different parts of the world, who are mystically recruited to form two groups – one in the Northern Hemisphere, and one in the Southern. They eventually gather in Peru, and through a single alliance, begin a frantic chase for the sacred object that can stop the black magician's final plan…
My thoughts:
Young Adult is usually not my thing, but when I saw the trailer for this book and read the description, I thought I should definitely check it out. I'm glad I did. Shanti and the Magic Mandala has a great message. Love. It's as simple as that. What I also liked about the book was the variety of people in it. This is not your standard, middle class kid struggling with teenage angst, etc. It has a different angle, which is refreshing. The descriptions used in the book are very lush and it's easy to become part of their world. Definitely worth picking up, and I hope there are more books to come with these characters.
About F.T. Camargo:
F. T. Camargo is an Italian Brazilian living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. An award winning architect, he has a degree in Arts and Media. He is devoted to animals and has been deeply involved in causes for their protection and freedom. He is a world traveler, speaks 4 languages-English, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish and has published a travel book Rio, Maravilha! For many years he has been practicing yoga and meditation and studying the Kabbalah. His exploration of spiritual teachings motivated a commitment to self-development which in turn created a new path and goal in life. Shanti and the Magic Mandala was born from his inner journey. This is the first in a series of many more exciting books to come. Click here to visit his website.

Earlier in the week, Maksim Chmerkovskiy sent out a message on his Instagram saying that his dance with partner Meryl Davis this week will be historic and will blow your mind. Was it as special as he claimed it to be? E! News had the details on Monday on week eight of "Dancing with the Stars." The night brought with it some surprises and some drama from an outspoken guest judge, Abby Lee Miller from "Dance Moms."
Meryl and Maks danced an emotional rumba together and it had everyone captivated. Tom Bergeron mentioned that you could hear a pin drop as the audience took in the two throwing each other around. The beginning of the dance had dishes being tossed and even had Meryl Davis slapping her partner. They turned it into one memorable dance of the night that earned them 36 points from the judges.
However, it wasn't all peaches and cream for the couple. Even though the three main judges said that they loved their dance, despite not having as much rumba as they would have liked, it was the guest judge that got into trouble with Maksim Chmerkovskiy this week.The pro dancer didn't take her critiquing too well when the "Dance Moms" star mentioned Meryl's feet. Miller said that while the Olympic Gold medalist was on the floor, her feet were not angled correctly.
Afterwards as the dancers were being interviewed by Erin Andrews, the Ukrainian said, "I really don't care for anything she has to say." He sure is straight to the point. No one messes with his Meryl and gets by with it! Of course, this brought on some uncomfortable looks from the other dancers and the judges. Abby Lee Miller might not have been too affected by his comment, except that she only gave the couple an eight for their rumba.
The pair also danced the Celebrity Dance Duel with brother, Val Chmerkovskiy and his partner Danica McKellar. They did the samba, but it was a little out of sync. The criticism from the three main judges were understandable, but then Miller decided to mention that the girls should have been in heels instead of the shoes they wore. She was also quite critical of Danica's performance. This got the younger Chmerkovskiy defending his lady as well.
Not all was bad, though. During rehearsals, Meryl teased her partner by saying, "Just because a teddy bear is large doesn't mean he's scary." How sweet is that? She seems to be able to tame the beast, which just adds to the extreme chemistry between those two. Maks even mentioned that he wants to maintain what they have outside of the show when the season ends. Of course, no one knows exactly what they have, but whatever it is, viewers love it! In case you missed it, you can watch their 'mind blowing' rumba here.
What did you think of Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy's rumba? Do you think it was historic enough to win that mirror ball trophy?

If you are considering Easter Brunch this Sunday, April 4th—you'd better hop to it!
If you want to make Ellendale's your Easter Brunch destination restaurant, it is (highly) recommended that you make a reservation. For $29.95 (sliding scale for children under 12), the family-owned restaurant is offering a diverse Easter buffet that includes your choice of:
- Three Starters
- Exhibition Station (omelets, stir fry or pasta)—choose from 25 added ingredients
- Assortment of Salads & Sides
- Assorted Handmade Breads
- Children's Buffet Table
- In-house Desserts
Be sure to check out the slideshow of Ellendale's buffet below!
The Easter Brunch will run 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Ellendale's was named in honor of owner Julie Buhler's great grandmother, Ellen Dale Ives (a woman revered for her acts of kindness by all those who came in contact with her).
Julie Buhler is no slouch herself! As the creator of the restaurant (in 1999), Buhler has built a following in Donelson over the past decade. Ellendale's has received awards such as "Best Sunday Brunch" (Citysearch) and "Top Five Best Places to Visit in Donelson". Having also 'cheffed' for such celebrities as Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill and Garth Brooks, Julie Buhler has quite a resumé.
As a recent visitor to Ellendale's during Brunch, I can certainly vouch for the care their staff takes to ensure customers a fresh variety of foods (and, more importantly, a plethora of homemade desserts!)
Having been a restaurant owner, I can't stress enough how important it is to hire quality staff. Passion for good food and dedication of the people you surround yourself with cannot be faked.
Lastly, I would like to point out the obvious. Did you notice—though I said I had recently visited Ellendale's brunch—I didn't 'review' the food?—that I carefully stepped around commenting on the food? Well, it wasn't because what I did eat wasn't delicious—it was because their Manager, Amy Roth, was so engaging that she and I spent (almost) the entire visit sitting at the bar gabbing! She was delightful. Amy has been with Ellendale's for eight years, starting as a server. I haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting Julie Buhler, but I already know something about her by virtue of being in her restaurant and having met some of her staff.
(…and I know you are thinking I skimmed over the "sitting at the bar" part because you think I was indulging in a Bloody Mary or Mimosa (as most of my 'review' episodes tend to include alcohol)…but I did not indulge—hence the omission!) Why do I feel this intense desire to stick out my tongue in a 6-year-old 'so there!' antic?...

The story is seemingly told as the fourth film ends with a group of women, all involved in the demonic ritual taking Hunter and apparently killing Alex when the camera goes dark. So, what could possibly be next? A scary movie is really only scary when the shock or twist of a movie is not expected. The real fear with this franchise is that any further movies could be more methodical and tired and not provide any real thrill.
"Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" is the latest entry in the horror movie genre. Continuing the story of the Paranormal Activity franchise, this seems far removed from the original tale of Katie and Micah. In order to appreciate this new release, there is not a real need to understand the happenings of the previous four movies, but it doesn't hurt to gather the threads to weave a full tapestry.
The most recent installment, "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones", is partially about expanding the overall storyline beyond the family-centric story of the previous four movies. Another facet of this film is to incorporate more of the Hispanic culture through the introduction of characters from an Hispanic portion of Oxnard, California, the same city that the rest of the films take place in. The families in the past have been predominately white, so this movie allows some racial and ethnic diversity.
Following two friends, Jesse and Hector, and Hector's new toy, a handheld video camera, "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" introduces several new concepts to the franchise. Using the addition of a neighbor they call a bruja or witch, there is a scene where the boys drop the camera down a vent between apartments and see Anna the witch doing a ritual on a young nude woman. This leads to a focus on Anna and the events surrounding her death at the hands of a boy named Oscar, someone the other two boys knew from the neighborhood.
Oscar's disappearance leads to many questions about what was happening in the bruja's apartment, so Hector and Jesse sneak in there to see what they can find out. What they find at first is just a crime scene, but through further exploration they uncover some strange altar in a crawlspace under the apartment. Also in the crawlspace? Oscar!
This film is filled with several shock moments, based on cameras panning one way and then back to some scare. The twist of this film is the revelation that first-born sons are marked while still in the womb to be vessels for the summoning of some demonic army. This was what happened with Hunter in the previous films and, it is revealed, there are many other boys that this has happened to. Any person could now be a focus for paranormal activities, given this new idea. Allowing for expansion beyond the localized happenings in Oxnard ensures some longevity to the franchise.
This film is a unique addition to the overall "Paranormal Activity" storyline. This movie really centers on the story more than some new filmmaking gimmick, as most of the other films have offered. As a spin-off, this movie achieves the expansion of a viewer base by introducing a different ethnic mix of characters. It also succeeds in furthering the story by showing the audience that there are more people out there than just Katie and Hunter involved in this seeming conspiracy to bring about a form of Hell on earth.
As a complete franchise, the "Paranormal Activity" movies are a good scare. There still seems to be some potential for sequels, based on the opening up of additional players through the concepts revealed in "The Marked Ones". It will be interesting to see what comes of the proposed sixth movie, "Paranormal Activity 5", scheduled for release in October 2104.

Well Hello There,
My Name is Eduard Reformina, I'm the author of "Pinoy MLM Exposé" eBook and the Creator of "Sponsor More Downlines" Sponsoring Training for Pinoy Networkers. Thank you for dropping by here in this page.
If you want to Learn How to use and How to Leverage The Power of the Internet to build your Network Marketing Business and finally get all the results that you want, then I want to share with you some of the strategies I personally use to sponsor dozens and dozens of new downlines on a monthly basis, and create fast & massive duplication in my team... But before that, Let me share with you a little bit about myself...
"About Me"
I'm a husband to a loving wife and a Father to a wonderful daughter.
My Hobbies are Playing Bass Guitar and I love listening to Jazz Fusion kind of thing,
I spend a lot of time Reading Books, Learning from great Guru's specially from authors and Guru's like Robert Kiyosaki, Dale Carnegie, Mike Dillard, Mark Hoverson, Jonathan Budd, Ann Sieg, Frank Kern, Joe Vitale, and many others. I learn a whole bunch from these amazing people. I also love to spend time to do my other hobbies like Composing Music and playing with a band.
"My Story"
A couple of years ago, I went abroad to be an OFW. I've been away from my home for 5 years as a Professional Musicians playing in hotels in the Middle East. When I got back to The Philippines, A friend of mine recommended a book by an author named Robert Kiyosaki. The book is called "Rich Dad Poor Dad". After reading that brilliant book, a big shift of course happened to my life and it transform me to who I am today. A guy with a very entrepreneurial spirit and has a hunger for learning more in developing my self.
When I was just starting with my Network Marketing Business, I struggle so hard. I face so many rejections, wasted a lot of efforts, wasted a lot of time and money. I can't figure out why I was failing even I did everything I was told to do. Everyone is telling me to do Traditional way of Network Marketing like Prospect Listing, Inviting my "KKK" (Kaibigan, Kamag Anak, Kakilala), Home Presentation, One on One Table Talk, Handing Out Flyers in Streets and Malls, Approaching Strangers (Pusakalan) and so much more. It was tiring and time consuming.
"The SOLUTION"
After failing so hard, I started to look for answers on the INTERNET. I started Educating my self BIG time. Read lot's of books, digested so many training, and most importantly, met many Coaches and Mentors. For my own opinion having Mentors to guide you in any business is very Important. Not only it will speed up your learning curve but you will also be guided on what things to avoid.
In studying Internet Network Marketing, I Learned 2 very important skills, first How to generate endless number of highly qualified prospects and I learned how to attract prospects to me instead of me chasing and hunting them down. This 2 skills solve my problems and turned my business around. By Combining the power of the internet and Online Marketing Strategy I'm on my quest to build my business and achieve Time and Financial Freedom.
"My Intentions"
One of my deepest passion is helping other people like you succeed by sharing you all the knowledge and skills that I've learned and will learn and hopefully inspire and empower you in your business journey, to unlock your untapped and hidden potentials that will bring positive results for you and to those people around you.
I believe that in order for us to be successful we need to be willing to help others as well to find success. If you are ready to learn effective strategies to build your network marketing business, Go ahead to Sponsor More Downlines.

I think we'll all agree that a comfy blanket is a new baby must. Not only will they keep your little one cozy and warm, but they're also a great way to express your unique style.
Be sure to throw a few generic receiving blankets on your registry, but make sure that you splurge on at least one really nice blanket for you and your little one to enjoy. Choose something you love, because your little one is bound to be dragging it along behind them for the next several years.
