text: Advocate Spotlight: Peggy Johns, Florida by on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 Peggy Johns Florida As a 62 year young health educator, heart health was first a personal passion with me and then became professional direction that has guided me for many years. Where did this passion come from? Who were my influencers? Interestingly, it all started with Dr. Murphy, my pediatrician! At the age of seven, he was concerned about my low resting heart rate, so he put me through a step test in his office. I remember standing by my mother and feeling a sense of pride at hearing I was just fine, even better than fine, since I had a strong heart that could help run long distances. Wow, I loved running, the possibilities stretched before me! Growing up before the sports' benefits of Title 9, I was limited to joys of recess and physical education. And my father added fun by playing catch with his daughter, building her a high jump stand and long jump pit in the back yard. Those times with the family playing tether ball, badminton, and catch added real value not only to my heart, but also the development of fairness and teamwork. When the President's Fitness Test came about during Junior High School, I knew I had the fitness and skills to earn a medal. None of my girlfriends even wanted the medal, but for me it was an achievement I wanted. I wanted to show it to my father and family. As a young adult, Dr. Kenneth Cooper coined the word "Aerobics" in his best-selling books and a whole new world opened before me. I became an Aerobic Dance instructor, went back to school to become a physical education teacher, and even became an exercise leader in a cardiovascular rehab program. For over 30 years, I have been working with health and wellness issues in schools. My own health has benefited from my profession. Sadly, high cholesterol and heart disease run in my father's side of the family. But my father's quadruple bypass surgery added 20 years to his life before his passing at age 83. Two of my uncles were more careless with their health and succumbed to heart disease way too young. And even my younger brother has been lax in his prevention so he is now a heart attack survivor. As for me, I take my statin medications, exercise regularly, and eat sensibly. I enjoy life easily because my doctor, family, and education helped guide me when I was young. My goal is to do the same for other young people. I wish everyone a heart healthy life! « Now share your story Share This

The Feminine Mystique: Do Women Have An Edge In Car Sales?
American women influence 80 percent of all automotive purchases, yet when it comes to selling those cars, the fairer sex is woefully underrepresented. Except here.
By Holly Reich
Chances are, you rule the roost when it comes to deciding which vehicles your family will drive. Your fella may want that Ferrari but cooler heads prevail, since you can't really slap that child safety seat into the back of a California. Yes, women do make most family vehicle decisions – and yet, when it comes to actually purchasing your car, it's likely you bought it from a man.
It's a simple numbers game. There are significantly more men selling cars than women. But does it matter? For women who feel intimidated in the buying process, a female sales associate can be more comforting and seem less aggressive. That, of course, is a generalization, and may or may not be true. But at one particular Ohio Honda dealership, having a large number of female employees has been a boon to the family business.
Motorcars Honda (www.motorcarshonda.com) in Cleveland Heights, Ohio is one of those dealerships that understands women make a difference.
A Softer Way To Sell
A recent VroomGirls article "What Women Want," listing the top ten vehicles chosen by women, garnered many responses from our readers. For example, Jennifer Ross, Internet Sales Specialist at Motorcars Honda, noted enthusiastically: "I'm really glad to see that the vehicles that I know and love (Hondas) are in the top four. I sell Honda's at Motorcars Honda in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. We have women in every position at our dealership including a woman technician, a woman in clean up, women service writers, a valet and controller. Plus, I have a couple of cohorts here in the sales department. Women from all walks of life are employed here at Motorcars Honda. That's why I chose to work here and why so many women shop with us."
Of course, this is the kind of story that gets our motors running. We promptly called the source to get the full story.
Trevor Gile, GM of Motorcars Honda, explained how the 20-year-old family business is run by a bevy of women, including his wife and sister-in-law.
"There are 17 different job categories in this dealership. Fourteen out of 17 of these positions have women in them including eight female product specialists, the CFO and a service advisor that has been with us for over two decades," he explained.
Car Geek Not Spoken Here
"It helps with the customers. Some women feel intimidated by men. And we find that our clientele are coming in so much more educated that we don't need to have the typical 'gear head' working on the floor."
With women making a reported 80-85% of the sales decisions on cars these days who needs gear heads anyway?
"Women identify with women and they are happy and thankful when they see a woman in the dealership. Women want to be listened to," explained Nicole Markson.
On another note, she said that, as a woman buyer when a male salesman says, "Do you need your husband to be here?" it's a put-down and an outdated assumption.
Good point.
Pet a dog, eat a cookie, buy a car
Gile agrees that women naturally focus on their guests' needs thereby creating a greater level of empathy. However, he says that his dealership also incorporates a feel-good atmosphere with amenities that include fresh flowers, homemade cookies, a popcorn machine and… his little furry dog.
"I see more females in key positions here than any other place in the country," noted Motorcars Honda CFO, Debbie Housholder, who came to the company after working with two of the largest publically traded auto groups.
Markson, who got her start 16 years ago in her father's business, Major Automotive Group, in Queens, New York, added, "It's still a little bit of a boys club, but if a woman has the right personality she can work her way up in the business. And if you're good at sales, you can be a superstar!"
But we still love chivalry
Motorcars Honda Sales Specialist, Jennifer Ross, is one of those up and coming superstars. "I sold three cars last week and I'm new!" she exclaimed. As for being a woman in a male-dominated business, Ross notes that she is treated like a professional by staff and clients. But, the independent woman still admits to liking the special treatment she receives from her male co-workers, "I have to say chivalry is not dead. The gentlemen here will help me open doors or jump start a car."

Loved your article so much that I created a facebook page dedicated to WOMEN in the car business! Please share with your readers. I love to see women empowering themselves and taking a role in what used to be a "man's world". We are among the elite who have proven that we can succeed in this business as well as they can. Our page is entitled, "I am NOT the receptionist. I sell cars." and can be joined by visiting our link at http://www.facebook.com/icansellcarsinstilettos — Thank you for this article and for the support of women everywhere in the car business!!!
I work as a service advisor in one of the busiest Dealerships in SW MI. I love it there. I have always thought of going to the other side, and selling cars. I think it would be so much fun! I love making people happy. Finding their dream car, what could be better? But I only see men over there, so I figure "no women alowed." I'm actually seriously thinking of talking to the sales manager. I'm great with people, know about cars, and love to make people happy….while making money. Think I'd rock.
So glad you wrote this article! I am looking to start my own dealership in the future with a focus on women!
I have sent the last 27 years in the auto business…13 years in F&I and 14 years in sales. I serve a new car dealership in a community of 18,000 people. The town has been very good to me and my customers have been extremely loyal to me.
I did not dream of being a car salesperson when I was a little girl, but it has provided me a good living and I have enjoyed it!
Women just do not have a fundamental understanding of how a car works. They get in, turn on the ignition and that's it.They are much easier to intimidate when buying a car though.
I JUST started selling cars yesterday. I am the ONLY female sales rep in my dealership. I can't wait to beat the pants off of these guys. LOL I'm Selling Cars in My Stilettos and LOVING IT!!!
Just read this article and loved it. I was curious how the sales are going for you in the car trade and have you encountered any negative feedback as a woman in the male dominated arena? Please tell me there are not too many David Rays out there!
Are you still selling cars?
Definitely a "Boy's Club." They see females as a threat and someone who's taking money out of their pockets. If you're young and attractive expect to be sexually harassed on a daily basis. If you're an older,mature female you'll still get harassed but it's a different kind of harassment. No man wants to be outsold by a female so you have to have a very thick skin and you can't trust any of the other sales people. Sad but true. Very dog eat dog business and the hours suck. But the money can be very good. I believe alot more women would be in the car biz if they were allowed to work PART-TIME. But too bad some idiot made it a rule to only have full-time employees and have 15-20 salespeople on the floor all at one time. So STUPID.
I am a female sales floor manager making 6 figures in the so called man's world.. lol. I've only been in the business 3 years but have moved right on up. PEOPLE love the comfort of a woman who knows the right things to say and when to say it!!
Hi Lisa! You still there selling? Are there any advice you would give to women thinking about it? I work at a desler as a greeter and got "promoted" to BDC department…well.. I am kind of scared of sales mostly because of the hours.. but It tempts me soo much.. any feedback?

Also, Adarius Bowman was amazing at OSU but sucked at the NFL level. I don't think there is a single OSU WR that actually panned out.. D'Juan Woods is on the Saints practice squad... Not saying Dez Bryant will be a bust.. but he is unpolished like those others OSU WRs and he is all potential. I don't think he would be the best option for us.

The Vern McCallum Photo Collection shows the places, people and events of the Western District of Victoria and nearby South Australia from the 1860s to the 1970s. The collection started with photos from Vern's own family (which arrived in the District in the 1850s) and has expanded through the goodwill of many people who either donated photos, or allowed Vern to copy their photos. The collection now contains over 7,000 images and is still growing. A very small sample is available on-line.
The Collection's major events is the yearly Exhibition. Over 600 photos from the collection were shown in the 1998 exhibition, close to 1,000 in the the 1999 exhibition and over 1,000 in the 2000 exhibition, the 2001 exhibition, the 2002 Exhibition, the 2004 Exhibition, the 2005 Exhibition, the 2006 Exhibition and the 2007 Exhibition. Each year the exhibition has included a very popular family history section.
Over the last few years Vern has actively co-operated with other organisations in presenting smaller exhibitions that focuss on particular places or themes or events. The Past Events - 2004 and Past Events - 2005 pages illustrate the diversity of the smaller events, and the high regard that various communities and groups have for the McCallum Collection. Although the small events take up a lot of Vern's time (and money!), they tend to turn up many interesting photos that would remain inaccessible without a strong local involvement.
In 2001 sponsors assisted in production of a CD ROM with 1,000 images. During the presentation ceremony in April 2001, Vern and Michael Greenham raised the question of who benefits from and who should support an enterprise like the Vern McCallum Collection - please read the speech.
Vern was born and grew up in Digby, mid-way between Hamilton and Dartmoor in Victoria, Australia. He now lives near Portland. To contact him you can either email or write to him.
We are interested in cooperating with all web sites connected with the history, family history, or photography in the Western District. If you run or use such a site, contact the WebMaster, Geoff Corner.

Tommy Hilfiger Makes Asia Inroads
Tommy Hilfiger is setting itself up for a major move into Asia.
The brand, known for its rugby shirts and loose jeans, hopes it can grow its sales in the region to one-third of global revenue, up from just over 10% now.
In August, Hilfiger will be taking over the right to sell its own brand in China, where it was previously distributed through a licensing agreement. And it said today that it poached John Ermatinger, who until recently was the president of Gap Asia Pacific, for the newly appointed role of Asia Chief Executive for Tommy Hilfiger.
Fred Gehring, CEO of Tommy Hilfiger Group, spoke with Scene Asia about the firm's Asian strategy, its expansion plans in China and how the region's preferred color palette differs from Europe's. The following interview has been edited.
Wall Street Journal: What are your expansion plans in Asia?
Mr. Gehring: We've been in the region for quite some time, but in the traditional manner in the way of licensees. A few years ago, we tried to acquire our license back in Japan, and more recently in China. Licenses, traditionally, have been a low-risk and effective way [to enter a market].
The way we service this territory has to become more regionalized. I think that's the big difference. We no longer look at Europe and the U.S. as our main markets, and other markets [like Asia] as tag-on markets or secondary markets. We're grouping ourselves to become more efficient and planning specifically for Asia. We're taking a more localized approach.
We won't be changing the brand at all. We've been taking this approach in Europe very successfully. What we do in various regions in Europe is tweaked in each area.
WSJ: What is your plan for China?
Mr. Gehring: We have worked through Dickson Concepts and licensing. Dickson has planted the seed and done a very good job with it. They've had the license for almost 15 years.
We acquired the business back from them. On August 1, we're taking over in China. We have a very nice but modest presence. There are 80 points of sales. Clearly there is a great opportunity there.
We think our brand, with its youthful, casual DNA, is well-positioned for the Chinese market. But for substantial business, we need a structural change of thinking. We need to adapt to what the market requires instead of repeating what we've done elsewhere.
WSJ: What's unique about China?
Mr. Gehring: Many of the differences are small — nuances rather than gaping holes. China is not different than other major markets in the world. When you are in the apparel business…you view the differences related to climate, how big or small people are, the composition of their bodies so products fit.
As consumers get more sophisticated, you have to get it right. In the apparel business, you have to execute product slightly differently [for each market]. There needs to be uniqueness and freshness in offering. You need a dedicated supply chain. We're getting it properly organized and set up.
There is a brand awareness, but not as high as it is in Europe or the U.S. In the U.S., it's 90% [brand recognition]. In China, it's about 60%.
The model we've applied in other markets over the years will be the basis of how we'll go in China. We're not going to just open our own stores in A1 locations, but also a substantial number of franchise stores in tier-two cities as well. We want to be widely visible.
WSJ: What does your brand stand for in China?
Mr. Gehring: We are positioned around the world as an affordable luxury brand. There is a greater excitement over the development of luxury, and it's now a crowded environment. We're definitely taking this market to China, a more "premium" one than luxury. I don't think the word "mass" is right. [We offer a] very nice product, priced in the upper segment without being luxury, in both luxury environments and in shopping malls.
WSJ: How do Asian markets respond to Tommy Hilfiger fashion differently than those in Western markets?
Mr. Gehring: Asia has many differences among itself. But generally speaking, our casual DNA translates very well. When it comes to product, it's the casual product that does well, as opposed to the tailored ones.
There's a desire and willingness to show color and be a bit bold — which works well in Asia, as opposed to other markets in the world, like northern Europe.

Best Week Ever
I have just had such a fun week, not only making the above bunting for an art project in West Bromich but all this other stuff too.
It started Monday night at Hyde Park, I am not & have never been a big festival goer, so when Russ and I discovered the Serpentine Sessions we were sold. Picnic benches, deck chairs, waitress service, posh loos & amazing weather (ok they can't guarantee that bit)
Tuesday, a sneaky afternoon beer & award winning pork pie, at a pub near us that we have been meaning to go to for ages.
Wednesday, a perfect day out in London with my mum, visiting both the Grace Kelly & the Quilts exhibitions at the V&A followed by tea and scones at Fortnum & Masons (you are right mum my blog is just full of pictures of what I eat!)
Thursday, a meeting about a possible licensing deal with Britian's leading Tin & Melamine manufactuter, they hold the licensees for Flower Fairies and Peter Rabbit...eek!
Friday night drinks on the terrace at the very swanky Aqua Bar Regents Street followed by dinner at The Salt Yard (these aren't my pics, it was much busier as you can imagin a sunny Fri night in London!)
Saturday was my birthday, lots of lovely presies, including cupcakes through the post from Russ's sister and one of my favourite illustartions ever on a card from my mum and dad.
My lovely Swiss auntie always sends me a home made card.
& my mum & dad gave me a mini starter kit so I can make my own quilt.
The afternoon was spent sipping tea & munching on sandwiches, scones & cakes at Claridges.
Followed by the BEST film I have seen in ages 'Heartbreaker' the Telegraph says 'Heartbreaker recalls a time in film history when rom-coms were amusing and glamorous as well as romantic.' I was hooked from the moment it started, I think being a big Dirty Dancing fan helped! you can see a trailor here
& finally Sunday was spent on the Heath with lovely friends eating & drinking whilst the boys played football.
Boooooooo does that mean I have to actually do some work today ?!

Netbook Prices Are Now Falling
,----[ Quote ]
| Personal computer maker Acer said Friday morning it is cutting the price of
| its Aspire "netbook" to $349 from $399. It's cutting the price of another
| netbook, the Linpus Linux Lite, to $329 from $379.
Acer Aspire One A110
,----[ Quote ]
| Thankfully, Acer has taken a slightly more restrained view of what
| constitutes an SCC. Its Aspire One is available in just three basic flavours:
| 8GB SSD and Linux; 120GB HDD with Linux; and 120GB HDD with Windows XP. On
| the desk in front of us, we have the least expensive, most basic model, the
| 8GB in MacBook-envy white, the most pure iteration of the SCC concept to
| date, in our opinion.
Review: Acer Aspire One
,----[ Quote ]
| To sum up the Acer Aspire One: this is what notebooks should have always been
| like. Small, portable, light, fast, and cheap. For just EUR 299, you are
| getting a proper netbook, with all the functionality of its big brothers and
| sisters. Maybe not as full-featured as the MSI Wind, and not as hyped as the
| eeePC, but still the better choice, simply because it's a hell of a lot
| cheaper.
Acer Aspire One (Linpus Linux Lite, White)
Ace in the hole
,----[ Quote ]
| The Aspire One sells for P18,800 for the Linux version, making it the most
| attractively-priced netbook in the market today. For that price, you get an
| Intel Atom N270 processor, an 8.9-inch LCD screen, 1 gigabyte (GB) of memory,
| an 8GB flash drive for storage, built in Wi-Fi and Ethernet and a built-in
| Web cam.
| The Aspire One comes with a good selection of free software, starting with
| the operating system, Linpus Lite, a version of Linux based on Fedora.
| Remarkably, the Aspire One boots up and is ready to use in less than 30
| seconds.
Acer Aspire One ZG5 (Linux)
,----[ Quote ]
| Solid-state drive, SD storage expansion slot, relatively good battery life
| from standard 3-cell battery, under 1kg
Acer Aspire one (Linux)
,----[ Quote ]
| Taking a cue from ASUS' well-received custom Linux interface, Acer packages
| the system with a lightweight, customized Linpus Lite Linux operating system.
| We just wish this netbook lasted longer on a charge.
The Acer Aspire One Netbook Review
,----[ Quote ]
| We'll be taking a look at the Acer's Aspire One, which makes its debut into
| the rough and ever-evolving world of the netbook market. Featuring an
| 8.9-inch screen packed into a compact frame, this version of the Aspire One
| that we're reviewing uses Linux and has only 8GB of storage space, similar to
| the earlier ASUS Eee PC models. Size wise, this unit is slightly bigger than
| the Eee PC 901, but still smaller than the MSI Wind NB U100.
Acer Aspire One: the new sub-laptop to beat?
,----[ Quote ]
| Mind you, the 120GB HDD-equipped One is only down as £30 more and comes with
| 1GB of memory rather than 512MB, though that's plenty for Linux and do you
| really want a hard drive in a machine that's going to be chucked around a
| lot? Well, at least you have the choice.
Acer: PC industry 'disappointed' with Vista
,----[ Quote
| Acer president Gianfranco Lanci became the first major PC manufacturer to
| openly attack Microsoft over the Windows Vista operating system in the
| Financial Times Deutschland on Monday.
| Lanci said the operating system was riddled with problems and gave users and
| businesses no reason to buy a new PC, according to the report. Taiwan-based
| Acer is the world's fourth-largest PC manufacturer, after HP, Dell and
| Lenovo.

Cervical Cancer Health Center
Cervical Cancer Vaccine Might Not Boost Clot Risk
By Kathleen Doheny
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, July 8, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Concerns that the human papillomavirus vaccine may increase the risk of serious blood clots seem unfounded, a new study says.
The study of half a million Danish women who received the HPV vaccine, which protects against cervical cancer and other health problems, found no link between the shots and the formation of blood clots known as venous thromboembolisms. In the United States it's called the Gardasil vaccine. Concerns about such a link had been raised in previous research.
"Our results found no evidence to support that exposure to the HPV vaccine is associated with an increased risk of [venous thromboembolisms] in the period following vaccination," said Nikolai Madrid Scheller, a researcher at Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen.
HPV vaccines are recommended for 11- and 12-year-olds because they work best before the start of sexual activity.
The researchers conducted the new study, published July 9 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, after earlier research found a risk of blood clots in the weeks after vaccination.
Experts can't explain how the vaccine could elevate the blood clot risk, Scheller said.
For the new study, the researchers looked at data on 1.6 million Danish females ages 10 through 44. There were 4,375 cases of blood clots among more than 500,000 teens and women who got the vaccine. Of these, one-fifth were vaccinated during the study period, from 2006 to 2013.
The researchers analyzed the cases in multiple ways. They first looked at all patients with blood clots -- those who did and didn't get the vaccine.
They also looked only at patients who had received the vaccine. They analyzed different age groups and adjusted for oral contraceptive use, which is known to increase blood clot risk. They zeroed in on the 42-day window after vaccination, considered the most high-risk period for clots, and also looked at a control period, before and after the vulnerable period.
Despite the different analyses, no link was found between the vaccine and a higher risk of getting a blood clot in the vulnerable time period.

ONGC Videsh Plans to Raise up to $900 Million
By Rakesh Sharma
NEW DELHI — India's ONGC Videsh Ltd., the overseas investment arm of state-run Oil & Natural Gas Corp., plans to raise up to $900 million by issuing a dollar bond in the first quarter of 2013 to fund a recent acquisition of oil fields in Azerbaijan, its managing director said.
The company will be going overseas for the issue because it is cheaper to borrow money in dollars, D.K. Sarraf told reporters late Thursday. Also, it makes sense because ONGC Videsh purchased its assets in dollars and its assets and liabilities are in the U.S. currency as well, he said.
In September, ONGC Videsh agreed to buy a 2.7% stake from Hess Corp. in the Azeri, Chirag and Guneshli fields in Azerbaijan and a 2.4% interest in the associated BTC pipeline for a total of $1 billion.
Indian companies are increasingly raising funds overseas because they are cheaper compared with local borrowings, as the central bank of India has been holding interest rates steady due to inflationary concerns.
ONGC Videsh was earlier planning to take a loan from its parent company, which had cash reserves of 120 billion rupees ($2.18 billion) at the start of the current financial year in April, said another company executive, who didn't wish to be named.
But the company decided to go overseas as ONGC has announced its own massive capital expenditure plan and its earnings have been hit by the heavy discounts the company has to give to state-run refiners on crude oil sales.
The Indian government keeps diesel and cooking fuel prices below market rates to help control inflation. It gives cash subsidies to fuel-marketing companies and directs explorers such as ONGC to offer discounts on crude oil sales as part of a mechanism to share the subsidy burden.
ONGC reported a larger-than-expected 32% drop in net profit in the quarter ended Sept. 30, mainly because of higher discounts on crude sales.
Earlier this month, ONGC Finance Director Aloke Kumar Banerjee said the company's cash reserves may decline to 50 billion rupees by the end of March from 120 billion rupees in the start of the financial year.
ONGC has a capital expenditure plan of 335.77 billion rupees for this financial year and 340.10 billion rupees for next year.
ONGC Videsh, which produced 8.75 million metric tons of oil and equivalent gas in the financial year ended March 31, plans to invest $20 billion on acquiring assets overseas to achieve its target of a sevenfold increase in oil and gas output from overseas assets by 2030.

Injured hawk released to downtown haunts
The vacant lot at East 16th and Parade streets seems an unlikely spot to release a hawk into the wild.
The lot is a dumping ground for fast-food wrappers and beer cans and is bordered by railroad tracks, urban housing and steady traffic up and down Parade Street.
But it's home, or nearly home, to the Cooper's hawk released there Tuesday. The hawk is part of a growing population of birds of prey with a downtown Erie address.
"It used to be that Cooper's hawks could be found just in deep woods," said Carol Holmgren, education coordinator and assistant rehabilitator at Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center in Saegertown. "But the population pattern has shifted, and we're finding them much more often in urban areas."
The juvenile hawk released Tuesday was found injured in the parking garage at East 10th and French streets on Dec. 28. The bird was taken to Tamarack to mend from its head injury and caught a ride back to the city with Sarah Sargent, president of the center's board, early Tuesday.
When it was released from its box, the hawk shook out its tail, fluffed its wings and flew to a nearby tree. It perched there, apparently unperturbed, while a train rumbled past and teenage boys shouted insults to each other across 16th Street.
"It's comfortable here. And it's obviously urban adapted," said Sargent, who also is Audubon Pennsylvania's important bird area coordinator.
Another Cooper's hawk injured in downtown Erie recently won't be returning. The bird crashed into the Boston Store building Friday and broke both wings. It had to be put down at the wildlife center that evening.
"It's not uncommon for Cooper's hawks to fly into buildings or be hit by a car as they're chasing prey," Sargent said.
The hawks feed on smaller birds, which are available in number downtown as more downtown residents put out feeders, Holmgren said.
Hawks aren't looking for suet or seed, but for the songbirds that the feeders attract.
"They're tracking the resources. As long as there are resources downtown and as long as they can adapt to tolerate people, they'll be here," Sargent said.
Mary Birdsong, of the Presque Isle Audubon Society, recommended the East 16th and Parade streets location for Tuesday's release and accompanied Sargent as she set the hawk free.
The vacant lot, with its few trees and undergrowth, provides vital habitat for hawks and other birds now roosting and hunting in the city, including red-tailed hawks, and kestrel and merlin both types of small falcons, Birdsong said.
"A lot of people see this place as ugly, and it is with trash and stuff on the ground. But it's important to birds. The insects and mammals and berries that they eat are here, and they have places to roost and to hide," Birdsong said.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona
by William Shakespeare
The Two Gentlemen of Verona Friendship Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the Norton edition.
Quote #7
My shame and guilt confounds me.
Forgive me, Valentine. If hearty sorrow
Be a sufficient ransom for offense,
I tender 't here. I do as truly suffer
As e'er I did commit. (5.4.78-82)
After being caught red-handed trying to rape Silvia, Proteus immediately apologizes…to Valentine. Proteus never expresses remorse for his crime against Silvia. He feels bad because he hurt Valentine's feelings and betrayed his friend's trust. If you think that's bad, keep reading, because it gets even worse.
Quote #8
Then I am paid;
And once again I do receive thee honest.
Who by repentance is not satisfied
Is nor of heaven nor earth, for these are pleased;
By penitence the Eternal's wrath's appeased.
And, that my love may appear plain and free,
All that was mine in Silvia I give thee. (5.4.83-89)
Valentine forgives Proteus for trying to rape Silvia pretty quickly. What's interesting about this passage is the way Valentine seems to offer to "give" Silvia to his friend as a peace offering and a gesture of friendship. Despite Proteus's behavior and despite Valentine's love for Silvia, Valentine prioritizes his friendship with Proteus over all else – especially his girlfriend.
This is similar to what happens in one of Shakespeare's main literary source for his play. In the story of Titus and Gisippus – related first by Boccaccio and later retold in Thomas Elyot's Book of the Governor (1531) – Gisippus gives his best friend, Titus, the woman he is supposed to marry after Titus falls in love with her (Book Named the Governor, 2.12).
Quote #9
Thou art a gentleman and well derived;
Take thou thy Silvia, for thou hast deserved her.
I thank your Grace, the gift hath made me happy.
I now beseech you, for your daughter's sake,
To grant one boom that I shall ask of you.
These banished men that I have kept withal,
Are men endued with worthy qualities.
Forgive them what they have committed here
And let them be recall'd from their exile: (5.4.158-162; 164-167)
Gosh. Valentine and the Duke sure are buddy-buddy in this passage. We also notice that when the Duke offers to let Valentine marry his daughter, Valentine seems more interested in helping out his new outlaw friends than in celebrating his engagement to Silvia.

Not to bury, but to praise
By pdiamond on Aug 31, 2009
I have not been a frequent blogger at blogs.sun.com (putting it mildly), but i thought today was an excellent day to write what might be my last entry in this venue. Assuming the proposed acquisition by Oracle goes through as planned, it is not clear if this blog will continue or have to morph elsewhere.
Why blog today? Because someone at Sun did something good today, which reminded me of many things I have appreciated at Sun over the time I have been associated with it. Today's good thing? Enabling the people who have put lots of time into their Sun blogs to agree to share IP rights (my expression) with Sun, so there is no confusion as to how much of their content the authors can move to other media/locations. This is a very reasonable position, IMHO, but no surprise given the very mature attitude Sun has maintained about blogging from day one.
Other things I have liked about Sun? When I was at IBM (for MANY years), the expression "respect for the individual" was widely repeated, but seemed to lose some of its meaning over the years. At Sun I have not heard this phrase, but I have seen quite a bit of that behavior. Sun's benefits have been excellent - anyone who does not realize that probably has not spent lots of time at other companies. There are aspects of the benefits package and approach which have demonstrated Sun's commitment to its employees beyond what some would call "just doing business" - it seems to me there was more behind it.
Also, my experience in being laid off by Sun back in 2007 - I found some issues with the overall process, and sent an email to Bill MacGowan the VP of HR. I felt these were issues which could be addressed to improve the process for the individual, the organization they were a part of and Sun overall. I got a reply within 2 hours of sending the email, and Bill got me in touch with the manager of the layoff process. She spent an hour listening to my suggestions - all this for a then-departed member of Sun. That was a strong reason for me to re-join Sun when the opportunity presented itself.
There are probably several other examples I could give, but you get the point - for all its flaws and foibles, Sun is/was an excellent company to work for and I appreciate the opportunity to spend the last 10 years associated with it. Hopefully this is not a eulogy, but just a comment as Sun moves into its next stages as part of Oracle.

Summary: Eurohypo AG May 08

The counterparty credit ratings on Eurohypo AG are based on its core strategic status to Commerzbank AG (A/Stable/A-1), which reflects the bank's full ownership by, and close operational and organizational integration into Commerzbank. This raises the ratings on Eurohypo by one notch. Eurohypo's stand-alone risk and financial profile benefits from its sound position as Germany's largest mortgage bank, the progress of its solid international earnings and risk diversification in recent years, and its largely completed domestic restructuring. Key intrinsic weaknesses are the largely untested resilience of Eurohypo's strongly expanded international and domestic commercial real estate (CRE) loan book against a potential slowdown of the economy; its limited earnings and business diversification, under additional pressure from difficult credit and capital markets;...

Pros: easy to assemble (follow the instructions exactly and identify all your washers!), packaged well, looks and works as expected.
We are happy with the frame so far. The directions for assembly are pretty vague, if you are not handy at all, you may want to call someone who is. My only complaint is that the color seems quite a bit darker than in the photo. Otherwise though, it looks great.
We were looking for a storage bed that did not look like a storage bed and this was it. We got the bed shipped and arrived in excellent condition. I put it together easily, you need 2 people and put something down to avoid scratching the finish. About an hour to build and a little more to unbox it. The finished product was well worth it. The finish looks good but isn't perfect. The fit is though and the bed is easy to raise with everything on it. The storage is not massive but blankets about 6 inches tall or so and the whole underside for storage area. We have the Costco Nova Foam 18 inch mattress and it does well and looks impressive and is very comfortable. Solid! Not super happy on the price but it does seem relatively comparable to other pneumatic storage beds and looks way better. This is our second World Market bed and only changed out for a move and style.
My husband and I purchased this bed for our guest bedroom. The assembly was quite difficult. I have concerns how we would ever move the bed if we moved. The wood scratches really easily. The bed looks really nice once put together. However, the instructions were not easy and we have not found a way to securely attach the headboard. I don't think I will buy wooden furniture from here again.

This correspondence is about a Gibbs-Markov random field (GMRF) parameter estimation technique proposed by Derin and Elliott (1987). We will refer to this technique as the histogramming (H) method. First, the relation of the H method to the (conditional) maximum likelihood method is considered. Second, a bias-reduction based modification of the H method is proposed to improve its performance, especially in the case of small amounts of image data.

Poultry's Other Public Health Job: Sentinel Chicken
A story in this morning's WSJ cracks open what one government official calls a "secure system to protect these birds": Secretive farms, classified as part of the nation's "critical infrastructure," where hens lay the hundreds of thousands of eggs needed to make swine-flu vaccine.
The article put us in mind of another big job for chickens seeking a career in public health: serving as a sentinel bird . It's a job that requires some sacrifice, as this WSJ story suggested back in 2003:
Braving a burst of clucks and beating wings, a woman in a white Tyvek jumpsuit grabs a red-brown hen by the feet and holds it upside down until the flapping stops. Then she flips the bird over, tucks it between her knees, and pricks the hen's comb with a tiny lancet, dabbing drops of blood onto a strip of filter paper to be tested for West Nile virus.
Sentinel birds got a lot of ink a few years back, when more than a dozen states established flocks as early warning systems for West Nile virus. See page 12 of these CDC gudelines for tips on setting up a sentinel flock.
Sentinel work isn't limited to chickens; as Slate noted in 2006, flocks of ducks can serve as an early-warning system for the arrival of strains of bird flu.

By Brigitte Rox, CCAD Public AffairsApril 20, 2011
Corpus Christi, TX -- Corpus Christi Army Depot riggers rescued millions of dollars in aviation components from a sinkhole, April 15, that developed after a water main broke the day before on Naval Air Station Corpus Christi.
Aircraft parts held at the Defense Logistic Agency's outside storage lot were in immediate danger as the ground below them gave way.
"When we arrived at the scene, there were already aircraft parts floating in the water," said Ruben Rivera, CCAD Industrial Trades Branch Chief. "With the ground giving way, the team had to use extra precautions."
Friday morning, DLA employees noticed a sinkhole filled with water. Long rotary wing cans teetered above the hole, while smaller barrel-sized cans and boxes had slipped in.
"The hole probably developed overnight," said Tom Reed, Security Officer for DLA. "Nobody anticipated this. It just happened."
DLA Commander, Lt. Col. Bernard Warrington called on the depot for help. They responded Immediately and asked Rivera and his rigging team to help pull aircraft parts away from the damage.
The rigging team used a small crane to pluck the parts out of the sinkhole and surrounding area.
"It's a lot of unstable ground so we can't drive a forklift. We were real precautious about it," said Rivera.
The sinkhole is believed to be 30 feet in diameter, according to Reed. Another sinkhole, 80 feet away caused by the break was estimated to be approximately 15-20 feet in diameter.
"There was sufficient area that dropped 12-16 inches, somewhere in the area of 100 feet in diameter," said Mark Ruszczyk, CCAD Senior Civil Engineer.
"When things are trenched, that's what you have to watch out for," said David Askew, Safety Specialist for CCAD. "There's a buffer zone. You don't know how far this [hole] can go back. There's an immediate exposure and then there's a zone of danger."
The areas where the two sinkholes occurred were immediately roped off, nearby streets were closed to prevent further damage and notices went out to all work forces to stay away from the affected areas.
As the CCAD rigging team extracted the aircraft parts from the sinkhole, DLA employees were ready with forklifts and trucks, relocating them.
"It all happened pretty quickly," said Reed. "Everybody worked well together to get it done."
"The sinkhole is the result of not being able to shut off the water fast enough," said Rusczcyk. It took less than two hours before crews were able to shut it off.
According to Ruszczyk, the public water line failed due to aging infrastructure. The pipe that broke has been underground for approximately 60-70 years and has been slowly eroding and corroding through the decades.
"Be prepared for the next one," said Ruszczyk. "As you make a repair, the next weaker section of the pipe starts to erode faster. There's a continual risk on the infrastructure."
The Navy's long-term plan is to make lasting repairs to the aging infrastructure and is presently working to secure a contract for the repair.

DOHA/NEW DELHI: Several of India's key concerns found a mention during the recently concluded climate talks in Doha even as the UN organised meet failed to break the ground for aggressive emission cuts or a firm financial commitment for poorer nations.
"India managed to retrieve ground it had lost in Copenhagen and Durban," said an Indian negotiator. "The final outcome takes into account issues like intellectual property rights in technology transfer and development, equity and unilateral measures. It doesn't matter that the language in the text is weak, what matters is that the issues will figure in the negotiations."

A great gift for the neighbors, or just to treat yourself at home. These scrumptious brick loaves are too good. You can't eat just one piece. I like to put them in the oven with butter and heat until they're warm and gooey—like a giant cinnamon roll. Great as a starter on the center of the table for breakfast or brunch. Each loaf weighs approximately 3 pounds and measures 8" long x 4.5" wide x 3" tall. You have your choice of with pecans or without pecans. Prices include shipping via 2nd day air.

DescriptionIn 1991, the U.S.S.R. (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) boasting the largest military force in history, suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed. Since that time the fallen empire has lain lifeless -- a rich corpse waiting to be picked clean. Now, a sinister ex-KGB general codenamed Shadowman directs a flock of vultures to swoop in from all parts of Eastern Europe and claim Russia's nuclear warheads and weapons of mass terror. While directing these 'wars of liberation' Shadowman intends to shake democratic Russia to it's foundations, bringing about a return to the Cold War...or even worse. You chopper into Crimea and discover the plot of this Russian madman using thermal spy devices. You must quickly move on to the Black Sea to prevent the hijacking of ICBM ships, respond to an attack on a chemical weapons plant in the desert passes, and then recover a nuclear reactor core in Transylvania. As you successfully thwart these stages of Operation Vulture, Shadowman is forced to take his coup to the streets of Moscow. Guide your chopper through five unique 3D worlds as you complete 41 deadly missions. Enemy vehicles, tactics, and responses change, based upon your activities, making this the first of STRIKE's new "Living Battlefields".

TriviaThe former Russian president Boris Yeltsin's likeness appears in the game, most notable in the last stage where you must escort him and an operative to an airfield to escape. Along the way, he drives like he is drunk, running over fire hydrants, missing pedestrians, even stopping at a fast food restaurant. The operative even comments about saying she hope there isn't breathalyser laws in Russia.

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Talia Balsam was born in New York City today in 1959. This birthday gal currently appears as both Cynthia Walden on "Homeland" and Mona Sterling on "Mad Men." She's also guest-starred on episodes of "Nurse Jackie," "Treme" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." Balsam is the daughter of actors Martin Balsam and Joyce Van Patten and has been married to actor John Slattery since 1998.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Draw a line in the sand when you are parched for companionship. You may find someone willing to come over to your side of the line to satisfy your thirst for a romantic and lasting relationship.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Count your many blessings -- especially when you feel unappreciated. Take pride in your ability to be diplomatic and poised to handle any situation. It is safe to let down your guard as well as your hair.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are always there to listen when someone has a problem. You may feel contentment with what you have and who you know. Crucial decisions about a commitment can be made with a soul mate.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Give peace a chance. Your co-workers might challenge you on crucial issues, but quiet words can divert controversy. Enhance your reputation by accepting an opportunity to become a peacemaker.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Face the fact that you won't be able to attain instant gratification. You will only hit the target if you can clearly see a picture of what you want the future to be and aim your arrows in that direction.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is world enough and time. Tomorrow will bring a fresh opportunity to make things better. Spend time with a devoted companion who is willing to forgive and forget and looks forward to the future.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Fight the battle between what you crave and what you know is good for you. When you meet the right person, you can handle any situation. Your significant other has your best interests at heart.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may walk into the spotlight and receive notice. Your skills will be on display whether they rate a blue ribbon or rotten tomatoes. It is in your best interest to be pleasant to everyone you meet.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will get better mileage if you walk a mile in someone's trendy shoes. You may be right on track where relationships and commitments are concerned. A special someone may be especially attentive.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It isn't possible to fit a square peg into a round hole. You may feel awkward in group gatherings. Although the focus seems to be on achieving recognition, save some time for a developing romance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To make your mark, you need the good will of others -- or at least the guidance of someone who has expertise in the subject -- to provide you with trustworthy advice. You might get a great deal today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Get mileage from your attractiveness. It is a good time to share your deepest feelings and goals. You and a special someone can enjoy intimate moments under a seductive cosmic arrangement.
IF MARCH 5 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: When good fortune knocks on your door, it is truly appreciated. Enjoy happy times for the next four to six weeks. Life could seem so comfortable that you might even take off on an impromptu vacation. Ambitions peak in mid-May when business acumen is enriched, making that a good time for decisions about job, career, and finances. Late August and early September is a time when your life will take a turn for the better as you reap the rewards you so richly deserve. Helpful opportunities and people that appear at this time may make a world of difference in your future. Put anything of importance into motion before the middle of September for the best results.

Although the North Taurid Meteor Shower takes place between October 12 through December 2, tonight will be one of the few nights the meteors are actually visible. This evening, November 12th, marks the peak of the meteor shower.
The moon is in its waning crescent phase and isn't expected to rise until close to dawn. This will allow for the stars and meteors to be more visible across the night sky.
The North Taurid Meteor Shower is a modest one producing 7 meteors per hour only at its peak. The meteors tend to be slow moving and larger than the average meteor. Sometimes the North Taurid Meteor shower is known to produce large fireballs as well known as a "Taurid Fireball".
The best time to catch one of the slow moving meteors or fireballs will be between midnight and one in the morning. Keep in mind that the meteor shower will take place across the entire night sky and not stick to a specific location.
If you aren't able to catch the North Taurid Meteor Shower tonight there is still a possibility of being able to see one over the next few evenings while the moon is still in its waning crescent phase.

Great location
April 6, 2015
We stayed at condo #820 for 5 weeks. It was a great location. Had no problem finding and entering the condo was very well organized. Everything worked well. It was fantastic to have the beach chairs and umbrella to use. We would suggest that you add a ceiling fan or some kind of fan to the unit. This would definitely add to the clients comfort and save you on power running the air conditioner. We are not fans of air-conditioning. We would have appreciated a slow cooker too.Thanks so much, vacation of a lifetime.

We really enjoyed that we were close to the mall and it was a beautiful walk to downtown via the beach. We were disappointed that on the website it said that we had a fitness center but when we got there they said we cannot use the fitness center because we rented a condo and it was for the hotel guests. We were also told that if we wanted to have a late check out it would be $50.00 and we were good with that so we did that. When we got home we got an email saying that it was now $70.00. My advice to people is if you want to stay at the Ilikai rent a hotel suite and not from a condo owner because the hotel is in a great location.

Room 821 was just perfect for us on our 2 week holiday to Hawaii! Perfect location with bus and trolley stops right outside a variety of resturants and cafes right on your doorstep (loved the Indian across the road and the Pizza place in the nearby Hilton Village). Room was on the 8th floor and in perfect new condition. Lovely city views but was a little noisy at night but that didn't stop us sleeping! The bar and grill in the Ilikai was perfect!! Great for lunch or dinner and very cheap so we ate there a lot! A short stroll to the beach, marina and Hawaiian Hilton Lagoon for swimming, sunbathing and watching the Friday night fireworks! I can't speak highly enough of this place and the ease in which we booked and paid online through Waikiki Beach Rentals!

We did not stay at the Llikai tower property this trip, but we have stayed next door at Llikai Marina & at Ala Moana Hotel. The rooms are similar and we love them. We love the area and views. The rooms are always clean and comfortable.

I stayed in this condo for 2 weeks with 2 other friends. We are from Italy. It was an amazing statement and we enjoyed deeply the hawaiian "hang lose" life. I advise this location to all who wanna spend some days relaxing in a great location for price and position. Greetings from italy, Davide D.

My wife and I recently spent 3 nights at the Ilikai to celebrate her 50th birthday. Location was excellent. The apartment (1722) was perfectly presented and the views from our balcony were great. Easy walk to the shopping centre and the buses were just outside our entrance. we would recommend this property to anyone wishing to have a stay at Waikiki.

He operates profitably under his eponymous company 'Julian Rouas Paris'. Julian Franck Rouas is going through an elaborate charade to pass himself off as a Perfume Designer. In reality, this wily con-artist is only interested in scamming you out of your money, and it's amazing the lengths that he'll go to achieve it. By all accounts, Julian Franck Rouas is emotionally disturbed, and should check himself into a mental ward .
The momentum seems to be shifting against him; the FBI is watching his every move. Undeterred, or simply unable to read the handwriting on the wall, this 'biped' continues his downward spiral by ripping people off with impunity, thus, adding more nails to his coffin. [continued below]....
Many hapless investors are still trying in vain to figure out what went wrong and where did their money go, while the ignominious Julian Rouas, desperately seeking fame, is dancing and singing "On Broadway". Ladies, beware, this low life criminal is continually pulling off tricks that would make Houdini blush, he loves to exploit women! Extremely conniving and crafty, yet he steals indiscriminately, by first scamming the people closest to him. Many of Julian Rouas' s victims are so infuriated that they want to see him dangling from a noose, it's a miracle he is still alive!!
As far as the Jackson-Rouas partnership is concerned, Julian Franck Rouas is not a benevolent benefactor; no charities will ever see a dime. In fact, the contrary certainly appeared to be the case!!

This Mediterranean wedding from White Ribbon Boutique Events is not only a stunning affair with the loveliest of details, but also a celebration rich with family, tradition and history. Honoring their Greek origins, this sweet-as-can-be couple chose to share their nuptials at the gorgeous Costa Navarino in Messinia, Greece among the olive trees and wild lavender. See the rest...
