It's like perpetual art period or crafternoon up in here except instead of construction paper all over the place, it's modeling chocolate and instead of paint on the elbow, it's buttercream. Here is how I keep the gadgets organized.
First, I've got my piping tips on a spool rack, my spatulas and knives on a magnetic knife rack, my paint brushes and assorted small tools in hanging cups.
I keep all the commonly used items in large caddies and small caddies:
All the sculpting tools live in a pencil box:
Scrapbooking containers keep all the cutters and silicone molds stacked and sorted:
I like to keep my markers in flower pots:
In the production area, I've got everything on metro and baking racks.
Everything has its place here.

"Wurzburg and it's magnificent Residence" Top 5 Page for this destination Würzburg by codrutz
Würzburg Travel Guide: 390 reviews and 1,307 photos
Wurzburg is the north starting point of the Romantic Road (Romantische Strasse) in Germany. As it was a driving trip, it was mandatory to visit this lovely city.
While in Bavaria I truly advise to pay a visit to Wurzburg and its Residence (UNESCO - Word Heritage) - one of Europe's most outstanding palaces, with its "White Hall", "Emperor's Hall", "Garden Hall", "Parade Rooms" and the "Mirror Cabinet" and a perfect Court Gardens. The interiors of Residence are really original - I dare to say I didn't encounter such architecture, rich and beautiful room decorations in any other palace that I saw in Europe.
Another landmark of Wurzburg is the Fortress Marienberg, but unfortunately, those few hours available in my schedule for Wurzburg were dedicated mostly to visit Residence, and the center of the old town.
- Pros:Residence, Court Gardens, Alte Mainbrucke, Old Town
- In a nutshell:Residence palace in Wurzburg worth a 100km detour

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
Brain May Benefit by Lowering Blood Pressure
Sept. 7, 2005 -- Getting blood pressure under control is good for the brain, new research shows.
Health experts already knew that curbing blood pressure can help avoid strokes, heart attacks, and other serious health problems.
Now, French doctors report that lowering blood pressure may halt or slow the progression of brain abnormalities called white matter hyperintensities (WMH). Their study appears in Circulation.
WMH and High Blood Pressure
WMH are white areas in the brain. They're strongly linked to high blood pressure. WMH may be accompanied by dementia, depression, and trouble with walking.
"People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop WMH, and a larger volume of WMH are associated with cognitive decline, an increased risk of dementia, and accelerated brain aging in some hypertensive patients," says Christophe Tzourio, MD, PhD, in an American Heart Association news release.
Tzourio works in Paris at INSERM, France's national institute for health and medical research. With colleagues, he studied WMH and blood pressure treatment.
Brain and Blood Pressure Study
The study included 192 people. Participants were about 60 years old, on average. Most were men. All had had a stroke or "mini-stroke" (transient ischemic attack, or TIA) in the past five years.
At the study's start, about half of the group had high blood pressure. MRI brain scans showed that 42% had no WMH, 13% had moderate WMH, and 19% had severe WMH.
About a third of the group got medicine to treat their high blood pressure. They either got an ACE inhibitor and a diuretic (water pills) or just the ACE inhibitor. The rest of the patients got a fake drug (placebo).
Study's Findings
About three years later, more brain scans were done. The results:
- 24 people had developed new WMH.
- People taking blood pressure medicines were 43% less likely to have new WMH than those taking the placebo.
- New WMH were smaller in patients taking the blood pressure medicines.
The results didn't change after factoring in age, sex, stroke type, blood pressure at the study's start, or WMH severity when the study began.
As expected, blood pressure dropped more with the prescription medicines than with the placebos.

CHARLOTTE, Vt. (AP) - A Vermont school's striped holiday
decoration is drawing criticism from a man who says it constitutes

Fourth-grade student Jenna Baginski and her father, Tom, decorated pillars at Charlotte Central School's entrance in red-and-white stripes.
Charlotte resident William Gerson wrote a letter of protest. He called the decorations candy canes, saying they're associated with Christmas and therefore are a religious symbol unfit for public display.
But School Board members decided that candy canes are a secular
symbol and don't represent an improper government endorsement of

James Jeans
Nicky Hilton in James Jeans Twiggy Leggings in Slate
Nicky Hilton was snapped shopping in Beverly Hills while wearing a pair of James Jeans Twiggy skinny jeans in Slate with a sweatshirt and sneakers.
Nicky seems to be seen out in James Jeans almost exclusively on the blog. Both this pair and her moto style pair seem to be her two favorites, as she's be seen in them quite a few times over the years. I really enjoy seeing the different ways that she styles them. You can see how else Nicky has worn her James Jeans here and you can buy James Jeans online from Shopbop.com.

Halle Berry in James Jeans Moto Jeans in Black Out
Halle Berry was snapped in a pair of James Jeans while picking up her daughter Nahla from school. Halle wore the James Jeans Moto jeans in Black Out with a long black jacket and boots. We haven't been seeing too many brands releasing moto styles lately, or at least not as many as a few years ago.
However, I don't think that these jeans look too dated or trendy, rather I think the detailing adds a nice touch to her outfit. I think that this is a "trend" that will be wearable for a while, what do you think? You can buy these jeans from James Jeans for $185.00.
Nicky Hilton in James Jeans Moto Skinny Jeans in Black Out
Nicky Hilton was pictured chatting on her phone during a walk in the West Village area of New York City. I actually expected her to have more layers on due to the recent temperature drop.
Nicky chose to wear her James Jeans Moto skinny jeans in Black Out, which she has been wearing on and off since 2011. I absolutely love these jeans and they were one of my favourites! Seeing her wear them again has actually inspired me to wear mine again soon! Buy James Jeans online at Shopbop.com.

Editors 8 Favourite Jeans
Each year I usually do my top picks when it comes to jeans. This includes the pairs I have been living in for months and the pairs that are my go to when it comes to denim! This time around I have about 8 pairs that I wear regularly and I have listed them below! You may notice that none of these include prints or patterns, they are all classics, except for one burgundy pair, but I also class them as very easy to wear and versatile.
1 – AG Adriano Goldschmied The Legging in 12 Years Dwight
These are my gorgeous AG Jeans that I bought from Shopbop a couple of months ago. I'm so glad I got them because I have been living in them ever since, they are my go to for a medium blue wash which is detailed and pretty. Every time I look at them I just get excited by how pretty the whiskering and fading is. They did an amazing job with these jeans and they are the best AG Jeans I have ever tried!

Correct wrong against SmithMay 06,2014It is time for the Rutland Herald and elected officials of Rutland City to amend and correct what they have done to Michael Smith through personal attacks and barring Michael from his park. When I grew up in Rutland, the Herald was about reporting worthy of winning national awards. Lets get back to this type of reporting and start with rebuilding Michael Smiths image.
Similar to many of you reading this, I have known Michael for a long time. OK, perhaps even longer than many of you, as the years tally to 35. We were athletes together on the soccer fields and ski slopes. Our families knew of each other even longer back. It has been a friendship based on many things. Largely, it has also been about shared values of doing what is right and being there for people and communities unconditionally.
The Herald, city officials, the board of Pine Hill Park Im not sure where to begin. Lets get back to thoughtful and public leadership that would be noteworthy statewide and nationally. Learn to overcome our circumstances and work with an extraordinary individual again.
There are a lot of us out there. People who know Michael and want him back in Rutland as he was before. Do the right thing.

How to simplify following fraction? I have tried everything, but nothing seems to work... $$-a^3 (c^2 - b^2) + b^3 (c^2 - a^2) - c^3 (b^2 - a^2)\over (c-b)(c-a)(b-a)$$
Hands on, the numerator is $$-a^3c^2+a^3b^2+b^3c^2-a^2b^3-c^3b^2+c^3a^2$$Write this as a polynomial in $c$: $$(a^2-b^2)c^3+(b^3-a^3)c^2+a^2b^2(a-b)$$ We can extract a factor of $(a-b)$ to give: $$(a+b)c^3-(a^2+ab+b^2)c^2+a^2b^2=ac^3+bc^3-a^2c^2-abc^2-b^2c^2+a^2b^2$$ Now write this as a polynomial in $b$: $$(a^2-c^2)b^2+(c^3-ac^2)b+ac^2(c-a)$$ from which we extract a factor $(c-a)$ to give:$$-(a+c)b^2+c^2b+ac^2=(c^2-b^2)a+bc(c-b)$$ (written as a polynomial in $a$) from which we take out $(b-c)$ to give $-ab-bc-ca$ So the numerator is $$-(a-b)(b-c)(c-a)(ab+bc+ca)$$
Using the symmetry is the way to go, but note how writing as a polynomial in $c$ highlights the possible factors involving only $a$ and $b$ - which can be handy if you have no better idea how to start.
Notice that replacing in the numerator $a$ by $b$ or by $c$ we find $0$ and the same thing for $b$ and $c$ so so we can write the numerator on the form $$\lambda(a,b,c)(c-b)(c-a)(b-a)$$ Now to find $\lambda$ let $a=0$ then we have $$b^3c^2-c^3b^2=b^2c^2(b-c)=\lambda(0,b,c)(c-b)cb$$ so $\lambda(0,b,c)=-bc$ and by symmetry we have $$\lambda(a,b,c)=-(ab+bc+cb)$$ and the simplification is straightforward.
Hint. Start with $$\eqalign{-a^3(c^2-b^2)&+b^3(c^2-a^2)-c^3(b^2-a^2)\cr &=-a^3(c^2-b^2)-(c^3b^2-b^3c^2)+a^2(c^3-b^3)\cr &=-a^3(c+b)(c-b)-b^2c^2(c-b)+a^2(c^2+bc+b^2)(c-b)\ .\cr}$$
Take advantage of symmetry. First write the expression in the more symmetric form: $$ \frac{a^3(b^2 - c^2) + b^3(c^2 - a^2) + c^3(a^2 - b^2)}{(a-b)(b-c)(c-a)} $$ Notice that
It follows that the result must be $$ \lambda_1 (a^2 + b^2 + c^2) + \lambda_2 (ab + bc + ca) $$ For some values $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$. Plugging in a simple case like $b = 0$, $c = 1$ you can conclude $\lambda_1 = 0$ and $\lambda_2 = -1$.

To relieve the loneliness and boredom, some truckers travel with a co-driver, others spend their time chattering away on the CB to anyone who will listen. Smart truckers though, smart truckers get a dog.

By 2022, the shortfall could reach 239,000 people.

March 18, 2011 -- Experts now say it will be weeks until the emergency situation at the earthquake/tsunami-damaged nuclear power plants in Japan are brought under control.
Damage and failed cooling systems have raised the fears of a total meltdown in at least one of the six nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi facility. At least one reactor appears to have suffered a partial meltdown. Moreover, a protective pool in which spent nuclear fuel is stored has been leaking water, resulting in the release of radioactivity.
There's hope that a major nuclear disaster can be averted. But what are the risks from the radiation that already has been released -- and from the radiation that could be released if containment efforts fail?
Here's WebMD's FAQ.
What does it mean for a nuclear energy plant to melt down?
"Meltdown" is not a technical term, but it vividly describes the worst-case scenario for a nuclear reactor.
Nuclear reactors generate power via controlled nuclear fission, which occurs when enough radioactive material is gathered into a critical mass. Control rods can separate the radioactive material, thus ending the nuclear reaction.
That's exactly what happened when the March 11 earthquake hit Japan. Control rods effectively halted the nuclear reactions.
This means there is no danger of a nuclear blast from Japan's damaged nuclear plants, even if fuel rods melt inside one of the containment vessels and pool into critical mass.
But the nuclear materials inside the reactors remain radioactive, which means they give off a great deal of heat. It takes a long time to cool these materials down, and spent fuel rods must be kept submerged in a cooling bath until their radioactivity decays and their intense temperature goes down.
If not cooled, these materials will melt. In a worst-case scenario, they could possibly melt right through the thick metal shield that contains the reactor, spilling highly radioactive materials into the environment. That could happen if the melted fuel pools to critical mass and restarts a fission reaction. This would not mean a nuclear explosion, but it would generate a great deal more radioactivity and heat.
When the tsunami hit Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, three active reactors lost power. That meant serious trouble, as the pumps needed to cool the overheated reactors with water stopped running when their battery backups were exhausted. While power has been restored, workers are still fighting to keep the fuel rods submerged.

Product Description
About the Author
Robert Herjavec launched one of the first companies dedicated to providing corporations with Internet security systems, selling the company to AT&T for more than $100 million. From there he moved to other ventures, including the sale of a Silicon Valley–based technology company to Nokia for $225 million. Three years later he established The Herjavec Group to provide highly sophisticated Internet security services to businesses. The star of CBC TV's Dragons' Den and ABC TV's Shark Tank, Herjavec supports several charities dedicated to funding cancer research, and divides his time between Toronto and Miami.

The book is written as a series of lessons drawn from this experience and his appearances on Dragon's Den and Shark Tank. He tells an account of how and why he became involved with both shows, some lessons that we can learn from the pitches, and a behind the scenes look at some of the program's best moments.
Unfortunately, Herjavec's anecdotes are interrupted with generic business management advice that is all too common. Consider these two samples: "...a constant shortage of cash to pay all bills in full is a serious symptom of trouble for your business." "How you fix things with clients is as important as what you fix." There is nothing wrong with this type of advice, but it could come from anyone running any type of business. There are no intriguing insights here about entrepreneurship in Canada or the unique challenges of building an internet security business. There are scant details about his current business (The Herjavec Group), the company that he sold to AT&T, BRAK Systems, (the proceeds of the sale being the base of his wealth), or any of his other business investments.
If you are a fan of Robert Herjavec on Dragon's Den or Shark Tank, you will enjoy the book.Read more ›
The advice and stories he gives help give you the right mindset for entering the business world.
"I've achieved a lot of success because I'm obsessive, other people (like you) might be content with having less but I'm not and that's why I'm better than you".
He comes off sounding like such a self-rightous douchebag.
You would think that his immigrant background and coming to Canada with $20 would make him more humble and grateful and honestly want to help others succeed. Turns out, inside he's the classic insecure narcissistic millionaire that will likely be sad, lonely and full of regret in his old age.
Too bad.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it sure comes off this way in the book which is not very well written at all. You would think that if someone is going to yammer on about giving the customers quality for 200 pages that they would have higher standards for what they write. If he wasn't a TV star nobody would care about this book.
1. For several years before becoming a full-time writer I owned and operated a marketing services firm with several talented and well-paid employees. I indeed knew what it was like to make a payroll and function as an entrepreneur. BillW would not know this, of course, but it did not prevent him from making an erroneous statement and assume it would be accepted as gospel. It should not.
2. I have written several books on behalf of CEOs and entrepreneurs of major corporations, providing me with deep insight into their challenges and achievements - if this qualification means anything to BillW.
3. I have also written several books on my own on financial and investment topics, and will be pleased to submit their titles. Perhaps BillW will indicate if he prefers them in alphabetical or chronological order.
4. Of course, the role of ghostwriter is not to tell his/her story; it is to relate the subject's story in a true and compelling manner. So what's the point of even raising the ghostwriter's background anyway? (Points 1, 2 and 3 above are here simply to refute BillW's errors.)
5. The value of Robert Herjavec's comments and advice is best judged by independent readers, not by someone with an apparent hidden agenda in mind (mine is open and transparent).
Finally - likely to BillW's surprise - DRIVEN has been on a number of best-seller lists since its publication in September 2010. He may derive from this fact whatever he wishes, but it remains a fact, not a mean-spirited fancy.

I've just downloaded your plugin and so far I love it.
But I'm wondering if there is a way to text wrap around a zedity "page"? I'm using it to add smallish cool text boxes and images in my posts and sometimes they don't need to be as big as 150px high and are only half the content area wide. But the wordpress editor doesn't seem to know what to do with the zedity box so I can't set the attributes in the editor (to tell it to left align and wrap around it).
I went and adjusted the height and width in the text editor but I don't know my HTML well enough to know how to tell it to wrap the text around it.
Am I making any sense?

Gcolor3 is a color selection dialog written in GTK+ 3. It is much alike
Gcolor2, but uses the newer GTK+ version to
better integrate into your modern desktop. It has the same feature set as Gcolor2, except
that recent versions of Gcolor3 use an
.ini style file to save colors (older
versions use the same file as Gcolor2).
Compare Gcolor3 with Gcolor2:
The most recent version of Gcolor3 requires GTK+ 3.12. If your distribution uses an older
version, please see the older releases.
Functionally, all releases are the same; the only exception is that since version 2.0
Gcolor3 uses an
.ini style format to save colors.
You can help translating Gcolor3 to your own language! Currently, Gcolor3 is available in American and British English, Dutch, French, Greek, German and Swedish. New translations are always welcome! For instructions on how to translate Gcolor3, see the project README.
For any bug or feature request, please create an issue on GitHub.

Isn't 180 a bit too low? So each three minutes it clears everything if I'm correct? I rarely edit a post and even if I do, when I update that post, the cache for that post is cleared anyway, right?
So can I safely increase this setting to like an hour (3600 seconds)?

HIV & AIDS Health Center
Who Will Care for New U.S. AIDS Cases?
AIDS a 'Black Disease' continued...
Wilson put the issue more forcefully.
"U.S. AIDS today is a black disease, plain and simple," Wilson said. "Of the 40,000 Americans newly infected with HIV every year, 20,000 are black.
"We have to get black folks and black institutions to take ownership of this disease," Wilson said.
"But that has to be part of a much larger strategy," he added. "We have to demand that we have the tools to make sure people know what the test means, and that we have access to treatment."
Caretakers Struggling to Keep Up
The problem is evident in the Birmingham AIDS clinic run by University of Alabama researcher Michael S. Saag, MD.
Saag notes that most of his clinic's patients don't show up for HIV tests until they already have AIDS.
Such patients' treatment costs are vastly higher than those of patients diagnosed earlier in the disease. Yet their drug costs -- the costs most likely to be reimbursed by government AIDS funds -- are only a fraction of their health care costs.
"The reimbursement to providers is extremely low," Saag said at the news conference. "We collect $360 per patient per year. Clinics like ours have been flat-funded for years, despite a 60% to 70% increase in patients."
That means Saag's clinic loses a staggering $1.1 million a year -- before the effects of routine HIV tests are felt.
Saag said routine testing -- followed by effective treatment -- will cut long-term costs. But treatment, he insisted, has to be part of the equation.
Anthony S. Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, agreed.
"It is not what we are doing that is wrong; it is what we are not doing," Fauci said.
"As we expose this societal lesion -- having more people infected than in care -- I would not slow the momentum of testing," said Fauci. "I hope that is the engine that ignites more activity in getting more people into care."

England prepares itself for a friendly with the Netherlands this Wednesday at Wembley Stadium.
The Three Lions caretaker boss, Stuart Pearce, named his 25-man squad last Thursday but has already seen four players choose to remain with their clubs for various reasons.
Wayne Rooney is one of the missing players and that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it gives the team a chance to look at how things would be without the Manchester United star.
Here is a possible starting lineup for the England squad.

Marvel and ABC are developing a live-action series that will bring the Incredible Hulk back to television for the first time in three decades.
The Live Feed and Deadline report that although the project is in the early stages, it's one of two priorities for Marvel's fledgling television division, headed by Jeph Loeb. The other is fan-favorite Cloak & Dagger, destined for ABC Family. (Marvel and ABC are, of course, both divisions of the Walt Disney Co.) Neither series has a writer, but a search reportedly is under way.
The news arrives just two weeks after Warner Bros. announced that David E. Kelley is preparing a revival of Wonder Woman who, like the Hulk, was a staple of late-'70s television. The Incredible Hulk famously aired from 1977 to 1982 on CBS, with Bill Bixby starring as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the Green Goliath.
According to The Live Feed, ABC executives were presented in May with a list of Marvel properties ripe for adaptation — among them, Heroes for Hire, Agents of Atlas, Daughters of the Dragon and The Punisher. Curiously, Cloak & Dagger wasn't on the initial list. The Hollywood Reporter blog cites insiders as saying Marvel wants to move slow with live-action TV, focusing initially on just one or two series.
>Incredible Hulk
>Not the Punisher
>Punisher was available
Aha! That Agent of Atlas bit possibly proves a lonstanding theory of mine that Marvel was being much more supportive of if than usual because they were looking to extend it into other media. I can see why too, with the right casting that could be a very good series in theory.
I am so stoked for a CLOAK & DAGGER series. ABC Family might actually be a good place for it since it's not really a kids network. They show stuff for older audiences too…
I think that an Agents of Atlas animated series would be a better fit than live action.
I think that a New Warriors series would be a great Disney Channel series if the network ever wanted to do something different and of some quality again.
If Marvel/Disney is smart, they will take care to put this clearly in the established Marvel Film Universe. What better way to build the idea of a shared universe amongst audiences than with a weekly check in? It doesn't have to be an overbearing factor of the show, but it should be a presence. Look at what tying the Superman/Batman Timm shows together did for the animation department at WB.

Yes you're right. but: First when I click the create button this create new View Controller with alloc, and retain count +1 automatically and when I press kill button the retain count -1 and Equals 0 this means the View Controller created in theory it was removed form the memory I corrected the code so:
- (IBAction)create:(id)sender{
if(vc == nil){ //if is not nil this mean vc have some space of memory reference and vc is not created
//if == nil this mean vc does not have space of memory reference so create.
vc = [[VC alloc] initWithNibName:@"VC" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];// retain count + 1
[_VW addSubview:vc.view];
- (IBAction)kill:(id)sender{
[vc.view removeFromSuperview]; //When view removeFromSuperview is called also dealloc is called of the vc view
[vc release];// retain count - 1 the curren count is equal 0 this mean vc does not have space of memory
vc = nil; // remove the reference of memory.
*But when I make the profile of the proyect and I click the button create and kill the memory don't decrease only grows *
Sorry But I cant paste the image because i'm Newbie posting but when I init the profile in Allocations init with Live Bytes 584,19kb and in 1 minute Live Bytes are in 1,08 mb dont release nothing only grow.

November 17, 2015, by Cheryl W - West Yorkshire, UK - United Kingdom
Great item for fancy dress, just missed a couple of medals to finish the outfit off.
March 3, 2015, by Cath T - London, UK - United Kingdom
The whole outfit is of poor quality. The photograph is incredibly deceptive. The material used is cheap and canvas-like and the boot covers are terribly designed and unconvincing. For the price this costume does not represent value for money.
Have a question about this product? Why not get in touch by completing the boxes below.
The inside leg measurement for the trousers is 30", but the boot tops will bridge/hide any gaps.
No, this costume does not have a swastika on the sleeve.
No, the boot covers are separate and the trousers simply tuck into them.

The Conference was organised by the European Commission (COM) on 11 June 2014 in Brussels to prepare the launch of the European Week of Sport (EWoS) in 2015. It gathered approx. 150 participants, including experts from governmental and non-governmental sport organisations and institutions from all over Europe.
Following the official opening by Ms Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner responsible for sport, and Mr Santiago Fisas Ayxela, Member of the European Parliament, particular attention was given to the concept for the EWoS as well as its objectives and planned activities (including communication) at both national and EU level. It was important to take into account the outcomes of the consultation process and experiences from the best practice examples of which some were presented at the Conference. Also, it was highlighted that the EWoS could create synergetic effects and a clear added value by coordinating existing and new initiatives under an EU umbrella.
Subsequently two sessions were organised on stakeholders' contribution to the EWoS. In the third session, three examples of good practice were shared by the the Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français (CNOSF), International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA) and Nike, in particular on how to involve people at local and regional level. In the fourth session, the testimonials (namely The Association For International Sport for All, Union des Associations Européennes de Football, Federation of the Sporting goods Industry, European Tour, European Social Insurance Platform) shared their views on the concept and presented how they could contribute to the EWoS. During the discussion, sever stakeholders expressed their interest in contributing to the success of the EWoS.
Finally, the COM gave a presentation on funding opportunities through the Erasmus+ Programme which was appreciated by the participants in particular in view of the objectives, activities and timetable of the call for proposals. It was noted that the next opportunity to discuss and clarify the final concept of the EWoS would be at the EU Sport Forum on 1-2 December 2014 in Milan (during the Italian Presidency).
The event was broadcasted via Live Streaming, you can find all web streaming recordings and presentations on the events page.

Who's Hiding?
- Pictures of animals and favorite things
- Cardboard
- Glue and scissors
- Felt markers
Cut out the pictures of people, animals, and favorite things. Paste them onto squares or shapes of cardboard. On separate cards, write the names of each picture that you've glued to a card: dog, apple, house, duck. The object of the activity is to teach your child to match the word cards with the picture cards. It is often easier for children to remember words when they are looking at and naming familiar people, places, and things. While your child is watching, turn one picture card face-down and ask, "Who's hiding under here?" Your child then tries to guess by placing the matching word card where he thinks it belongs. Once you have the idea of the game, try putting three or more picture cards down at a time.

"Lemons of the Amalfi Coast" Top 5 Page for this destination Amalfi Things to Do Tip by angiebabe
Amalfi Things to Do: 113 reviews and 208 photos
Lemons grow in abundance around the Amalfi Coast and they seem to have become an icon or emblem for the area.
Tourist shops have lemons on all sorts of things for sale - aprons, teatowels with recipes of the famed sweet Limoncello lemon drink that is made with all these lemons, carry bags, bottle stoppers, all sorts of knick knacks and household items.
Ive seen house tile number plates decorated with lemons and even road signs and antique porcelain lemons for sale in antique shops!
I was pleased to actually see real lemons growing, and also being harvested, as it was the lemon season when I was visiting in November. This must involve a fair bit of hard work I imagine as the areas they were in were the typical steep slopes coming down from the winding wilds of the hills up to Ravello, that are so prevalent around the area!!

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Dec 01st, 1999
Running Time: 90
Director: Gash Boy
Company: Zane Entertainment Group
Cast: Chris Charming, Chocolate (I), Vivi Anne, Herschel Savage, John Strong, Porsha, Tony Eveready, Tawny Lyons, Lee (I), Nancy Vee
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
This is a very solid assortment of anal-intensive scenes themed around all the dirty delights that can break out in the wake of a massage. The hands-down barn-burner here has Chris Charming and Tony Eveready plugging a very appreciative Nancy Vee's bung in a torrid threeway romp. There's no d.p., but there is plenty of anal-gaping nastiness, and a wild-eyed outing by the ultra-volatile Ms. Vee.
All in all, then, this is anal-heavy smut which, while perhaps not especially original or even inspired in its execution, is nonetheless studded with bone-inducing butt-fucking action a-plenty.

For decades, Robert Cicoria of Port Chester could not drive himself to work.
Paralyzed from his chest down in a 1982 car accident, he had to be driven or take a Bee-Line bus wherever he wanted to go. But several years ago, he began getting around in a special $107,000 van that offers a seat-less driver's cockpit where his motorized wheelchair locks into place.
That makes the 51-year-old's commute ... well, not as unusual as you might think.
MODE: A Chrysler Town & Country van tricked out with a wheelchair ramp in the back that allows him to motor right up to the dashboard. There, his wheelchair locks into place, and special controls allow him to steer, accelerate and break with his hands' limited abilities.
DESTINATION: He works three days a week at Westchester Disabled on the Move in Yonkers.
ROUTE: Interstates 287 and 87 to the Saw Mill River Parkway.
HOW LONG: About 20 miles, which takes 30 to 40 minutes — unless there's an accident on the Saw Mill River Parkway. (And there is often an accident on the Saw Mill River Parkway.)
WORST PART OF THE COMMUTE: That Saw Mill River Parkway.
"If there's an accident on the Saw Mill, forget it," he said. "Then I'm there twenty minutes late."
BEST PART OF THE COMMUTE: "Howard." That is, radio personality Howard Stern. "I like him a lot better since he's gotten political."
HOW EASY IS IT TO DRIVE: "I used to be petrified," he said. But he got used to it, and loves the freedom, often taking trips to Rye Beach. (It was June when he got the van.) But others may not understand how comfortable he is at the controls, which leads to...
PET PEEVE: People trying to pass him because they believe he'll be driving slow. He's even taken down a handicap tag from his rear view mirror so people don't make the assumption. "Meanwhile, half the time, I'm passing them," he said.

Pros: It defrags very quickly and makes for a compact chassis look. You can even fool someone that it's an SSD (when the computer is off of course).
Cons: It is very loud, compared to your average 7200 drives. You might want some special dampeners for this one. My computer is against a wall and when it's writing, it can be heard on the other side.
Other Thoughts: It says 6 gb/s, but it actually uses SATA2 even if you put it in a SATA3 input. Other than the other mishaps, you might want to stick with a $120 SSD and a complementary 7200 drives instead of this using the the Intel SRT if you have the parts that do that.READ FULL REVIEW

Research Institution:
AbstractThe negative-electron-affinity (NEA) photocathodes which produce polarized electrons are a vital component of electron accelerators such as that at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), which is used in the current generation of photocathodes. Quantum efficiencies thus far are on the order of 1%, meaning only 1% of the photons hitting the photocathode result in the emission of an electron. Increasing the quantum efficiency is vital to increasing the usable electron current. The end result of the combined Phase I Phase II effort will be a new generation of robust photocathodes capable of yielding intense, highly polarized electron beams for use in advanced electron colliders. We have previously achieved & gt 85% polarization using a strained-superlattice formed from alternating layers of GaAs and GaAsP approximately ten monolayers thick. For this program we will increase the quantum efficiency and extractable polarization current by adding an optical reflector to the design. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: Spin polarized low energy electron microscopes (SPLEEM) and future colliders will benefit from a polarized electron beam with increased intensity.

The anti-virus and anti-bacteria active components were extracted from some Chinese medicine, such as the honeysuckle, forsythia and the licorice. Using a w/o/w emulsion method, the active components were fabricated to uniform particulate microcapsule with sustained-release properties. The polypropylene punched felt was finished with the finishing agent of microcapsule, nano ZnO and TiO2 and polymer adhesive, and the composite air filter with anti-virus and anti-bacteria properties were formed, staphylococcus aureus, colibacillus and candida albicans were applied to antibacterial experiments. The results indicate that the anti-bacteria rate are all 100%, and the virus inactivation rate also reaches 100% to pandemic influenza A virus.

The appartment was small but had everything we needed.
We had the best stay at Salvatore's flat. It was small but had absolutely everthing it needed. Very close to the beach, clean towels and linnen and the room was clean and everything was fine! I would recommend this place to all wanting to go to Nice.
That is a very nice appartment, it is clean and in a convenient place, where we could find everything we needed. Our host Salvatore and his cousin were also very nice, always when we had questions, he answered us immediately.
Great appartment, spacious and clean. Located very close to the train station, so very easy to visit other cities at the Cote d'Azur. Supermarket and shops were close, restaurants and sea at 15 min. walk. Salvatore was very helpfull and kind.
Great location, clean apartment and everything as described. The best welcome that we received during our holiday in France by far. Host showed us the apartment and shared some useful information about parking etc - really handy when first time in Nice.
Definatly would recommend it to anyone.
Nice, newly renevated appartment for max 2 persons. Good location close to shops and beach. The landlord is friendly and easy to get in touch with. The kitchen equipment is minimal (no wine glasses!) and there is no iron-board.
Very good and very nice with no problems. Everything was as ok but one thing. Internet was very slow and devices were often disconnected from the network, so it was hard to download any maps or check attractions around on-line.
Everything else very good.
Blev väldigt nöjd med boendet i Nice. Bodde med wimdu i Paris och Toulouse före detta och Salvatore hamnar högst upp. Vi blev välkomnade av hans kusin Fred och han hämtade även upp oss och körde oss till flygplatsen för 30€, otroligt trevligt kille!
Lägenheten ligger bra till och det är lätt att ta sig dit man vill. Vi bodde tre stycken där och hade väl inte valt att bo en till i lägenheten, men då hade vi väldigt mycket packning som tog plats och bott med varandra i 10 dagar.
Bra betyg får Fred och lägenheten!
Al llegar a la puerta parece que te vas a encontrar otra cosa, pero cuando abres, ves un piso luminoso, muy bien decorado, limpísimo, en general, mejor de lo esperado, a unos 20 minutos del aeropuerto en bus, a unos 15 min del centro andando y cerca de los autobuses, el paseo marítimo está a 2 o 3 minutos andando.
Todo perfecto, de 10

Blair Says Bank of England Independence His Idea, Not Brown's
Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair said giving independence to the Bank of England in 1997 was his idea, not that of his chancellor of the exchequer, Gordon Brown, who succeeded him as prime minister.
"When I suggested it, he readily agreed," Blair, 57, wrote in his memoir "A Journey," published by Random House today. "I allowed Gordon to make the statement and indeed gave him every paean of praise and status in becoming the major economic figure of the government. In truth, too, as with the Bank of England independence, the broad framework of the economy, never mind anything else, was set by me."
Brown, 59, has often pointed to the decision to give the central bank control over monetary policy as one of his greatest achievements. The step, taken immediately after Blair led the Labour Party to victory in the 1997 election, made it impossible for governments to cut interest rates to gain support before future votes and coincided with the start of a period of low and stable rates in Britain.
The step also helped convince investors that Blair's party could be trusted with the economy after previous Labour administrations presided over a series of crises. Harold Wilson was forced to devalue the pound in 1967 and in 1976, the previous time Labour was in power, James Callaghan had to turn to the International Monetary Fund for assistance.
Blair said he let Brown make the announcement because he wanted his chancellor to be a "big beast" who was respected as a statesman. He said this had the "unfortunate and long-lasting consequence" that people came to think Blair had no control over economic policy.
Blair's comments may disappoint Ed Balls, an adviser to Brown during the run-up to Labour's 1997 election win and now a contender for the Labour leadership. Balls wrote a pamphlet for the Fabian Society, a research group linked to Labour, in 1992 advocating independence for the central bank.
Blair "probably knows that Bank of England independence was one of the defining achievements of his first term in government and, I don't know, maybe he'll give me a thumbs-up for that one," Balls said in an interview last week.

I wish to delete this so that for starters at any rate, no category is listed; so that the 'attribute areaa' given to categories is blank in other words. Is this possible? [I do later-on want to have 5 different categories, but seeing a category I don't want there right now is acting as a block to everything...]
