Bicycling is more popular than ever and Mill Valley has miles of bike trails and lanes that attract both residents and tourists. With increasing numbers of cyclists on our busy streets and new bicyclists abandoning their training wheels, simple safety rules are necessary to stay safe and injury free. From equipment safety checklists to the rules of the road, the following bicycle safety tools teach new riders how to stay safe on their bike and remind older riders that safety is a number one priority. National Injury Statistics
Tips for Safe Riding Always wear a helmet. Bicycle helmets can reduce head injuries by 85 percent. Select a helmet that fits snugly and sits flat atop the head. For children, use the extra padding that comes with the helmet to ensure a proper fit. Wear a helmet that complies with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or the Snell Memorial Foundation (SNELL). Children under age 18 are required by law to wear a helmet. Learn rules of the road. Bicycles are considered vehicles and must obey the same rules as motorists. Learn and follow all traffic signs, laws and rules. Always signal your turns and stop at all red lights and stop signs. Use bicycle lanes and routes as well as off-road paths whenever possible. See and be seen. Wear clothes that make you more visible, such as neon, florescent, or other bright colors when riding a bike. If riding at night, you must have a headlight. Reflectors on the front and back of the bike and reflective strips on clothing are good ideas. Always assume that you will NOT be seen by drivers. Go with the flow of traffic. Always ride on the right side in a straight predictable path. Always ride single file if in a group. Studies show that the most common factor in bicycle accidents is bicyclists riding on the wrong side of the street. The major reason for these accidents is that when vehicles are turning at intersections or entering traffic, drivers are looking to the left and may not see a bicyclist approaching from the right. Check for traffic. Always be aware of the traffic around you. Over 70 percent of car-bicycle crashes occur at driveways or other intersections. Before you enter a street or intersection, check for traffic and look left-right-left. Walk your bike into the street to begin your ride and across busy streets at corners and crosswalks. If already in the street, always look behind you for a break in traffic, then signal before going left or right, and watch for turning traffic. Stay alert. Watch out for obstacles in your path, such as potholes, sewer gratings, cracks, railroad tracks, loose gravel, and broken glass. Before going around any object, scan ahead, and behind you for a gap in traffic. Plan your move and then signal your intentions. Don't ride too close to parked cars, as the driver may suddenly open the door in your path or pull out suddenly. Fix it. Make sure your bicycle is adjusted properly and in good working order: the wheels should be straight and secure with no cuts and/or cracks and no loose or broken spokes; the handlebars should be firmly in place and turn easily; the chain should be oiled and tight. If your bike is correctly adjusted to fit you, you should be able to rest your feet on the ground while sitting in the seat and be able to stand over the top tube. Stop it. Always check your brakes before riding. Control your speed by using your brakes. If your bicycle has hand brakes, apply the rear brake slightly before the front brake. If you cannot stop quickly, adjust your brakes. When your hand brake levers are fully applied, they should not touch the handlebars. Each brake shoe pad should wear evenly and never be separated more than one eighth inch from the rim. Ride slowly in wet, slippery weather, and remember to apply your brakes earlier since it takes more distance to stop. Don't flip your bike. Wheels should be securely fastened. Check wheels before every ride, after every fall, or after transporting your bicycle to be sure that they are fastened and secure. If your bicycle has quick-release wheels, make sure they are firmly closed at all times. Use the safety retainer if there is one. Make sure that tires are properly inflated. Bicycle Theft Statistics
Tips for Preventing Bicycle Theft CARRY A LOCK AND USE IT. Most stolen bikes were not locked. Use a U-lock, securing both wheels and the frame to a stationary object such as a post, fence, tree or bike rack. Or, use a case hardened 3/8" chain at least 36" long, and a good combination or laminated key lock. At home, keep your bicycle in a room, basement or locked garage. Never leave your bike unattended or unlocked in a yard or driveway. Record the serial number of your bicycle and keep it with the sales receipt, description and photograph of the bike. If your bicycle doesn't have a serial number, engrave your bike with an identification number of your own choosing. If your bike is stolen, call the police and a report will be taken. The bike's serial number will be entered into the Automated Property System (APS). This system will match the stolen/lost bike to its owner if the bike is recovered within California. Tips for Parents Teach your children the rules of the road for their protection. Responsible bicyclists are involved in fewer accidents. Children also learn by example, so please wear your helmet. This is the single most important predictor of whether a child will wear a helmet. One of the most common mistakes people make when buying kids' bikes is getting a bicycle that's too large, so the child can "grow into" it. This might sound like a good idea, but it's not. A child will have a hard time controlling a bike that's too large, and won't feel confident as a result. A properly sized bike will be safer because it will be easier to control and a lot more fun. To properly size a child's bike, you are looking for one to two inches of crotch clearance over the top tube. Give at least two inches of room if the bike is going to be ridden over rugged terrain, as you would with a mountain or BMX bike. Take action for bicycle safety. Parents, schools, and young people can work together to develop bicycle safety education programs and bicycle rodeos. Several Mill Valley schools (Edna Maguire, Old Mill and Tam Valley) have the Safe Routes to Schools program that promotes health, fitness, traffic relief, and environmental awareness. Safe Routes to Schools provides in-class lessons and bicycle rodeos that include a safety check for bicycles and helmets, testing of rider skills, and contests such as a bicycle obstacle course. The organization also assists communities in identifying safe routes to schools.

Source: Venezuelan opposition leader to runBy VIVIAN SEQUERA
The Associated Press | March 11,2013AP PHOTO
People queue outside the military academy where Venezuelas late President Hugo Chavez is lying in state in Caracas, Venezuela, Sunday. Chavez died on March 5 after a nearly two-year bout with cancer. He was 58.CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles is set to announce he will run in elections to replace Hugo Chavez, setting up a make-or-break encounter against the dead presidents hand-picked successor, a close adviser to the candidate says.
He will accept the nomination, the adviser told The Associated Press. He spoke Sunday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the decision publicly ahead of a formal announcement scheduled for later in the day.
Other opposition sources refused to comment, but a political consultant at ORC Consultores, which advises Capriles, also said he would run.
He will put himself forward, said Oswaldo Ramirez. History is giving Capriles Radonski an important role.
Venezuelas election commission has set April 14 as the date of the vote, with formal campaigning to start just 12 days earlier. Ramirez said the 40-year-old opposition leader would demand that officials extend the campaign period by moving up the start date by more than a week, and that acting president Nicolas Maduro not be allowed to abuse state resources to boost his chances during the campaign.
Maduro has already announced his intention to run as the candidate of Chavezs socialist party. On Sunday he picked up the support of Venezuelas small communist party as well.
Capriles faced a stark choice in deciding whether to compete in the vote, which most analysts say he is sure to lose amid a frenzy of sympathy and mourning for the dead president.
Some say a second defeat for Capriles just six months after he lost last years presidential vote to Chavez could derail his political career. If he waits, a Chavista government led by Nicolas Maduro, the acting president, might prove inept and give him a better shot down the road. If he says he doesnt want to run I could totally understand that, said David Smilde, an analyst with the U.S.-based think tank the Washington Office on Latin America. He is likely going to lose and if he loses this election hes probably going to be done.
On a personal Twitter page that bore all the rah-rah adornments of a campaign site, Capriles wrote Saturday afternoon: I am analyzing the declaration of the (electoral commission setting the date) and in the next hours I will talk to the country about my decision. A spokesman said Capriles would make an announcement in the early evening.
Analysts predict the next five weeks will increase the nasty, heated rhetoric that began even before Chavezs death Tuesday after a nearly two-year fight with cancer.
Maduro, who was named Chavezs vice president after the October election, was sworn in as this oil-rich countrys acting leader Friday night. He is expected to file election papers on Monday
Opposition critics have called Maduros ascension unconstitutional, noting the charter designates the National Assembly president as acting leader if a president-elect cannot be sworn in.
On the streets of Caracas on Sunday, opinion was as divided as always in a country that became dramatically more polarized during Chavezs 14-year rule.
Its not fair, said Jose Mendez, a 54-year-old businessman of the choice the opposition leader faces. (Maduro) has an advantage, because of everything they have done since Chavezs death, all the sentiment theyve created ... But the guy has nothing. He cant hold a candle to Chavez.
But Ramon Romero said the opposition was just making excuses, and had no chance of victory in any case.
Now their odds are even worse, said the 64-year-old waiter and staunch Chavez supporter. They dont care about anyone, and we (the voters) have been lifted out of darkness.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

I don't want to be "that guy" anymore.
That guy who feels all sorts of melancholy when the Saratoga meet ends. Year after year it hits me hard, and year after year I let it.
I'm not gonna do it.
You can't make me.
You're not the boss of me and I'm just NOT going to do it.
Not anymore.
So there!
It's time I quit dreamin' and cowboy up.
Melancholy? You go to hell. There's too much in this town, too much in the capital region to let you stand in the way of me having a blast.
But - and there's always a big but(t) somewhere - I don't know where to begin.
I learned this summer there is so much more about Saratoga I need to explore. So much about Saratoga I need to experience. So much about Saratoga I have to see for myself in the autumn, in the winter and in the spring. Not just in the summer.
But I need help.
Your help.
Where do I go? What do you suggest I do?
When people come to Saratoga for the races folks say you must go to Siros for a drink; if you're the creative type you have to go to the Yaddo; if you have only a two-day stay make certain you breakfast at the track and take the tram tour to the barns.
But what are the "have to's" for Saratoga in autumn?
Where do I have to go to get the most glorious pictures of the leaves turning colors? Where do I have to go to experience all the amazing stuff that the locals refer to as the town's best kept secrets?
What are the traditions of this glorious and beautiful place, rich with history and adorned with charm that I need to learn?
How can I best learn and experience them?
Saratoga, I love you.
I always have. I always will. Thus, I call on you to help me. Point me where I need to go and I will forever be grateful.
I know what you know ... there's so much more to you than the greatest and most competitive thoroughbred racing on the continent.
But I don't know what you know when it comes to life outside of that.
Resigned to your wisdom, anticipating your suggestions, and hoping to understand what all of you have known for years and so many of us don't, I ask for your help.
Please comment here or email me at email@example.com

The crew of the Enterprise wakes up after apparently passing through a wormhole, finding mysteries surrounding their blackout. Data begins to act suspiciously, prompting the command staff to wonder if he has been compromised.
Summary Edit
After completing a mission early, the crew of the USS Enterprise is granted extra personal time to pursue their interests. Captain Jean-Luc Picard decides to show Guinan his Dixon Hill Holodeck program, and attempts to explain to her why Humans find mysteries fascinating. Just then, Data informs him of the discovery of a T-Tauri type star near the Ngame Nebula. The sensors have detected that the system has one M-class planet, and a small, unstable wormhole, which disappears. Data notes such phenomena are not uncommon in T-Tauri systems – thirty-nine had been observed since 2267. Suddenly the wormhole reappears, and flings the vessel 0.54 parsecs from the system, and causes the entire crew, with the exception of Lieutenant Commander Data, to fall unconscious.
Act One Edit
As the crew awakens, Data informs Picard that the crew was knocked out for only 30 seconds. Picard orders Worf to launch a probe to study the M-class planet that they were going to investigate before they went through the wormhole, and they continue on their regular course. However, while treating minor injuries, Dr. Beverly Crusher discovers that her Diomedian scarlet moss has shown a full day's growth. As the probe approaches the planet, it detects that the planet has a hydrogen-helium composition with a frozen helium core, clearly not an M-class planet. This confuses some of the crew, but they conclude that the wormhole may have been interfering with the sensors. When Picard is in his ready-room, Beverly comes in with her moss, and explains that they have experienced a full day's growth. Picard cannot come up with an explanation.
Act Two Edit
At the staff briefing Data tries to explain away these contradictions, quoting an obscure theory by Pell Underhill. After Data leaves, Geordi La Forge informs the rest of the staff that the computer's chronometer has been tampered with, and that only he and Data would be capable of doing it. Picard asks Data if he would consent to being examined by La Forge. Data agrees.
Act Three Edit
Evidence continues to mount that suggests the time of collective unconsciousness was much longer than 30 seconds – indeed, it now appears an entire day had passed. Geordi examines but cannot find anything wrong with Data, yet Dr. Crusher learns lieutenant Worf's wrist had been broken and repaired, without either's knowledge, implying that the crew was not only "missing" a day but was also not even unconscious during the entire time.
Geordi next attempts to discover whether Data rigged the probe they launched. He finds Data made it appear as though the observed planet was essentially identical to Tethys III. Picard orders Geordi to launch a second probe to the system, and this time they find there is in fact a much-different, class-M planet. It now is clear Data had at least tampered with the first probe and makes it seem doubtless that he has been concealing information and fabricating data to keep the rest of the crew from discovering the truth about what really happened during their alleged 30 second collective loss of consciousness. Picard implores Data to tell him the truth, but Data refuses; not even the threat of a court martial can compell him to end his by-now obvious mendacity.
Act Four Edit
Picard decides to set a course back to the T-Tauri system. As soon as they arrive, an energy pulse passes through the shields and possesses Counselor Deanna Troi and informs Data that "the plan has failed." Data asks the entity for more time and argues that the destruction of the Enterprise at this time would serve no purpose. Just then, Geordi enters and tells Data that the Captain has asked him to come to the bridge. Data does so, and implores Picard to leave the T-Tauri system. Picard refuses and demands to know why Data will not tell him the truth. Just as the possessed Troi enters the bridge, the android finally informs him that he, Picard, had ordered Data to lie.
Act Five Edit
The crew finds that the system in reality contains a Class M planet inhabited by the Paxans, a violently xenophobic and highly advanced race. They terraformed their planet in order to conceal it from intruders. When an intruder comes within their space, the "wormhole" (actually an energy field) renders the ship's crew unconscious in biochemical stasis, and the ship is transported out of their space to just over half a parsec away. The idea is that when the crew awakens, they believe they were knocked unconscious by a freak wormhole and proceed on their way. However, the Paxans had never had to deal with an android before: their bioagents have no effect on Data, and Data had promptly taken action to revive the crew, foiling the Paxans' plan. A representative of the Paxans then possessed Counselor Deanna Troi and threatened to destroy the ship to protect their secret. Picard then created his plan to have the Paxans wipe their short-term memory and force Data into a pledge of secrecy. In this way, the first contact incident could be "undone" and the Paxans left alone.
The body of Troi is possessed by the same Paxan representative to communicate with the crew and warns that their prior attempt to "undo" the contact has failed. Picard explains that the previous attempt had been imperfect; too many clues were left behind that piqued their natural curiosity and led to the unraveling of the plan. In order to prevent the Paxans from destroying the ship and killing all aboard, Captain Picard and the Enterprise crew again work to alter or erase all records concerning the true nature of the planet: this time taking into account the problematic inconsistencies previously discovered. Only Data is allowed to retain any knowledge of what happened to the ship and crew during the missing day, and he is again instructed to conceal that knowledge.
Once the crew is brought back from stasis again, the conversation goes approximately the same as the first time. However, when Data suggests launching a probe, the look on Picard's face suggests he also knows, and thus orders him to dispatch a hazard advisory to Starfleet, hopefully preventing any other Federation ships from coming in contact with the Paxans.
Memorable Quotes Edit
"Then, Mister Data, I'm going to ask you again, and I order you to directly answer me. What really happened to us?"
"I cannot answer that."
"What would you have me do, Data? How would you handle this if our positions were reversed?"
"I am apparently guilty of falsifying the Enterprise's records, of interfering with an investigation, of disobeying a direct order from my commanding officer. Your duty seems clear, sir."
"Do you know what a court martial would mean? Your career in Starfleet would be finished."
"I realize that, sir."
"Do you also realize that you would most likely be stripped down to your wires to find out what the hell has gone wrong?"
"Yes, sir. I do."

Background Information Edit
Story and production Edit
- The story for this episode came from fan Bruce D. Arthurs, who had submitted a spec script to the producers. Michael Piller recalled that the story was very good, but the script needed a rewrite. Piller gave the job to Joe Menosky during the hiatus. He noted that the changes were "mostly restructuring caused by the departure of Wil Wheaton and a major dialogue polish." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 215) Piller was so impressed with Menosky's efforts that he gave him a staff job on the show. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion 2nd ed., p. 154)
- The book The Red Dwarf Programme Guide notes that the story had an "uncanny" resemblence to an earlier Red Dwarf episode, Thanks for the Memory.
- To differentiate the flashbacks from scenes set in the "present", director Les Landau used longer and more fluid camera takes. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion 2nd ed., p. 155)
- This episode is considered a bottle show. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, 2nd ed., p. 154)
- The episode was filmed between Thursday 22 November 1990 and Friday 30 November 1990 on Paramount Stage 8, 9, and 16. Additional second unit and insert shots in Data's quarters were filmed on Tuesday 22 January 1991 on Paramount Stage 13.
- First UK airdate: 21 September 1994
Continuity Edit
- Worf's Mok'bara classes are first seen in this episode.
- Alyssa Ogawa is given her first name in this episode. Her last name would not be mentioned until TNG: "Identity Crisis".
- Data references the USS Trieste, a ship he stated he was familiar with in TNG: "11001001".
Reception Edit
- Michael Piller remarked, "I really loved that show. It's one of my favorites of the year. It was a perfectly realized classic mystery put together in a Star Trek format, which came together into a very satisfying episode." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, p. 215)
- A mission report for this episode by Patrick Daniel O'Neill was published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine Vol. 16, pp. 15-18.
Video and DVD releases Edit
- Original UK VHS release (two-episode tapes, CIC Video): Volume 44, 6 April 1992.
- UK re-release (three-episode tapes, Paramount Home Entertainment): Volume 4.5, 16 July 2001.

Letter from a Participant with the Ridge Project
I've spent most of my life expecting things from others. Every relationship that I've ever been in had to be my way. If it didn't happen my way then I would give up on the relationship or hold back. This has kept me from having any significant relationships.
During the first phase of Ridge programming, I realized my errors in thinking. I saw how selfishly I had lived my entire life. I began to want the 'unconditional' love I was hearing about. So I did as Ron said and I began to give it, without expecting it in return. In doing this, my family began to see that I truly meant what I was saying.
I've heard Ron speak several times on his relationship with his son and how he wrote him faithfully. I heard him speak about his love for his family and it resembled the love I felt for mine.
I began writing my step-daughter faithfully. I expressed my love for her, and I began to be a real dad. In the past, I'd always wondered why she never called me Dad. Now that I'm being one, she lets me know.
I received a letter a few days ago, addressed to Dad. I don't know if I could find the words to express what I felt that day. Living as a TYRO (a respectful title, meaning warrior, which participants earn after completing the program) gave me this experience. And even though it's only one good thing among the bad, I now look forward to creating many, many more.
Ron and Cathy have given me the opportunity to be a Dad and husband. They've shown me how to build two of my relationships; with time and living a TYRO's way of life, I know that there's more to come.
I don't have to ask myself anymore if I will come back to prison. My family and I know that I will never jeopardize them and our future together.
-Letter from Dustin Cable, PCI

Six of the nine ingredients: onion, olive oil, ginger, thyme, carrots, and garlic. (Missing from the photo: vegetable stock, salt and pepper.)
We cut our carrots into 1-inch rounds. If your carrots are fat like ours, you may want to slice them into 1/2-inch pieces to ensure they're nearly cooked through by the time the broiler works its magic.
Amanda neatly arranges carrots on a baking sheet.
They get tossed with a little olive oil and some salt.
And then under the broiler!
Smashin' garlic.
We put the thyme and the ginger into the stock to infuse.
After about 5 minutes under the broiler, our carrots looked like this. We flipped them and put them back in the oven.
After about 15 minutes in the oven, our carrots looked like toasted orange marshmallows. We scraped off any spots that seemed especially charred but left most of the browning.
Amanda browns the onions to start the base of the soup.
Once they were soft and caramelized, she added the garlic.
And we tipped in the roasted carrots.
In goes the infused veggie stock -- sans ginger and thyme sprig.
After a 5 minute simmer, we tried to blend the soup, but our fat carrot chunks proved too much for this immersion blender.
So, we resorted to the trusty Waring.
Much better!
Time to taste!
See how happy we are during this second batch of blending, fortified with spoonfuls of delicious soup?
If your soup is too thick, just add some water or more broth and reheat gently before serving.
To make the dish, you'll need: carrots (with their tops on), white wine vinegar, butter, Bibb lettuce, sugar, thyme and bay leaf.
Since we weren't peeling the carrots, we needed to give them a good scrub.
At thirschfeld's direction, we trimmed the carrot tops to about an inch long.
We used a pan large enough to fit nearly all the carrots in one layer -- if you have a pan that's even a little wider, all the better.
We scattered butter, thyme, bay leaf, sugar and vinegar over the top of the carrots.
Then, a dash of salt and white pepper.
Thirschfeld calls for enough water to come nearly all the way up the carrots, but because we had a few stacked on top of one another, we added just a cup and a half to start.
The carrots simmered on the stove for about 20 minutes, until just tender. You can cook them less or more, depending on how you like your carrots.
With the carrots tender, and the liquid nearly reduced to a glaze, Amanda added the lettuce leaves to the pan to wilt briefly.
In seconds, they looked like leaves of light green spinach.
We put the veggies on a platter and drizzled the rest of the glaze over them.

Does treating fever spread influenza?
Treating a fever with medication like Advil or Tylenol is reflex action when we come down with colds and influenza. But could treating fevers actually worsen an illness and contribute to its spread in the population? That's the impression you may have gained from the headlines and press last week, where antipyretics (fever-reducing medications) were described as some type of "anti-vaccine":
Fever-reducing meds encourage spread of flu: McMaster report
Taking over-the-counter flu medication to cut your fever might help you feel better, but it might not be so good for the people you come into contact with.
When it comes to fever, your mother really did know what's best
Who would have thought that the simple giving of a fever reducing agent, to either one of our family members or ourselves before we go off to school or work, may inadvertently lead to the death of someone that we see that day?
Use of fever-reducing drugs may lead to tens of thousands more influenza cases
The bottom line is that fever suppression increases the number of annual cases by approximately five per cent, corresponding to more than 1,000 additional deaths from influenza in a typical year across North America.

After 2 days with this theme, I have to say it's one of the easiest out-of-the-box themes I've ever worked with. The dev is extremely responsive and already released a v1.1! What more can you ask for? 5 stars no doubt. – dantehicks
Thanks! Again I wanted to compliment you on the coding and complete transparency to the spiders from google and other search sites. I don't even have to update my sitemap…it does it for me every time I do a post!!! Google authorship couldn't have been easier with correct coding as well. Love the way it looks! Eye grabbing and commands users to read articles and have them noticed. I've purchased about 8 different themes over the years and this one I can confidently lets me do what I need to with out overwhelming concern about how my site rates due to the programming. Thanks again!!! – DVANHELD
This is the most advance theme I've ever purchached for wordpress. This theme gives (through shortcodes) many options and can make wordpress an advanced CMS. Check this fully responsive portal we've made with this theme at Citypaper.gr. Thank you very much for this awesome theme. – firebit
I modified this theme for the reviews on my site > you integrate reviews. I added a new image resize script because I didn't like the one the theme used > you add a new one. I was looking into installing a megamenu plugin > now integrated. Dude, can you read my mind?? To anyone doubting to buy this theme, buy it now! Support is great, and all the options make it really easy to modify the theme. – jaspervd
Best theme ever! (I have already 45 other themes) keep up a good work, and important updates – leszekem
Great theme…I really like their features and other related things – technologyexplores
To all those of you who would like to purchase this Wordpress Theme, and have not decided yet… I would like to leave my personal and super positive feedback on The Gossip theme, and on its author GhostPool. I worked with this theme very hard for nearly 1 month. Had to migrate the existing website (+400 posts, 30pages) to a more responsive, clear, ultrawide and very well organised web portal, and decided to go with this item on Envato. Just want to tell you that today I finally switched to the new online version of Time Lapse Italia. The feedback from my users it awesome, but most of all… it's been a REAL PLEASURE to work with GP's support! Fast, precise, kind: these guys rock, you can trust me! Have been on Envato for nearly 3 years now, purchased lots of themes and code snippets. GhostPool simply provides one of THE BEST support service here on Envato, so… if you still doubt about this, purchase with confidence. Bravo GhostPool, hugs from Italy and thanks for assisting me during all this long process! – Marco – Founder of Time Lapse Italia
After I don't know how many themes I've bought, this one is the first theme that I have no complains or issues at all. Absolutely everything is covered. Congratulations on a fantastic work – afrogiova
Easily one of the best themes on the market; highly configurable, great documentation, super-clean framework and markup, and the GhostPool support team is exceptional at providing quick and accurate support (in my case for a third-party script integration). Five well-deserved stars!! – Gotequity
Awesome Theme, I Love this colorful theme. When I bought this theme 3 months my friend said dude will this works on our tech. blog. I said I don't know but now after 3 months my blog is in 10 top Google links and Page speed score 91/100 . Responsive Theme Feature Makes it 5+5 Star theme. Thanks Developer for making this good theme. – brargurshobit2009

So what does a predescriptivist do?
Once the farmer takes his wife, and the wife takes the cheese, I believe that the 'predescriptivist', like the cheese, stands alone.
I ain't got no clue on the y'all's question, though.

I ain't got no clue on the y'all's question, though. That's 'cause you're a Yankee, Ron. As I sternly lectured a friend just this morning, "y'all's" is NOT the same thing as "your-all's". Not. at. all. These distinctions are an acquired art form, my dear.

I believe:
A) You're going to find this usage in stock phrases irregardless of whether or not one or more people are involved or not.
2) Direct questioning of speakers is not the most accurate way to record usage, as I am sure anyone who has been involved in collecting dialect information can attest.
Þ) Someone is going to misunderstand my intent in 2)

misunderstand my intent in 2 [waving hand in the air e]
Did you mean because if you ask directly, that focuses the person's attention, and thus is likely to affect the output?

Yeah, Jackie. That's pretty much it. A classic example might be when Bill and Hill gave Skaneateles, NY its fifteen minutes a few years ago and the news guys asked the mayor how to pronounce the name of the town. He distinctly said, "Skay nee atlas," and then proceded to pronounce it "Skinny Atlas," when he was just saying it later on.

Student Opportunities
We offer extra-curricular and international activities that will enrich your French language education
Sur le campus. At North Central we know you want opportunities to use your French in real-life situations. Le Cercle français (French club) meets weekly to sponsor activities related to French themes. In conjunction with our courses, we schedule occasional trips to take advantage of French-related sites in the Chicago area. Additionally, the presence of French-speaking international students provides you with almost daily opportunities to use your French on campus.
A l'étranger. Every year there are options to travel abroad and earn credit for North Central while studying in French-speaking environments. For instance, we send several students on our exchange program to Angers, France, where they study side-by-side with French students at a French university. It's a great way to perfect your abilities in French, experience French culture, and meet new friends. In recent years we have also sent students to study in Sénégal, in West Africa.
A quick, short-term way to experience French or francophone culture is to participate in one of the travel/study programs offered during D-Term. These are short, focused courses led by French professors to allow you to develop your understanding of cultural topics on site. Recent trips have gone to France and to Morocco! Venez avec nous!

Few bands embody the notion of hard work like Tampa, Floridas STRENGTHEN WHAT REMAINS. Since first hitting the road in 2008, not only have they continually pushed themselves to improve musically and lyrically, but theyve also used their passion as fuel through the best and worst of times. Anyone would be hard pressed to find a more heartfelt and genuine band in hardcore today.
For their first Blood & Ink Records release, Turning A Blind Eye, STRENGTHEN WHAT REMAINS demonstrate just how much growth theyve experienced both musically and personally since their earlier recordings. Recorded with Dean Baltulonis (Madball, Trapped Under Ice, Fire & Ice) and mastered by David Gardner (Primitive Weapon, Dillinger Four), Turning A Blind Eye packs a harsh musical punch and lyrical potency few albums in recent years could match. Without a doubt, STRENGTHEN WHAT REMAINS have created something special, sure to garner respect of critics and fans alike.
For fans of: Terror, Figure Four, and Downpresser

Apple on Monday said that it had sold over four million of its new iPhone 4S in just three days after its launch on October 14. Thanks to widespread availability of the iPhone 4S, Apple managed to sell over two times more new iPhones over the first three days of availability than last year with the launch of the iPhone 4.
"iPhone 4S is off to a great start with more than four million sold in its first weekend—the most ever for a phone and more than double the iPhone 4 launch during its first three days. iPhone 4S is a hit with customers around the world, and together with iOS 5 and iCloud, is the best iPhone ever," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing.
Thanks for immediate launch of the iPhone 4S by three carriers in the U.S. as well as in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the U.K., Apple managed to take a million of pre-orders on its iPhone 4S in the first 24 hours and sell four million iPhone 4S units from Friday to Sunday.
In addition, more than 25 million customers are already using iOS 5 mobile operating system in the first five days of its release, and more than 20 million customers have signed up for iCloud, a set of free cloud services that automatically and wirelessly stores content in iCloud and push it to all devices. iPhone 4S is available today in the US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the UK, and will be available in 22 more countries on October 28 and more than 70 countries by the end of the year.
Apple's fifth generation smartphone - the iPhone 4S - is made of glass and steel and sports 3.5" "retina" display with 960*640 resolution. The iPhone 4S is based on Apple A5 system-on-chip with two ARM Cortex-A9 cores with NEON SIMD accelerators, dual core PowerVR SGX543MP2 graphics adapter and some other advantages. The Apple iPhone 4S supports quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, quad-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA and dual-band CDMA/EV-DO and features up to 14.4Mb/s download speed and up to 5.8Mb/s upload speed. Apple iPhone packs an backside illuminated CMOS 8MP sensor with 3264*2448 resolution and a proprietary five element lens. The camera sports a large f/2.4 aperture, an advanced hybrid IR filter and 1080p HD video recording capability with image stabilization feature
iPhone 4S comes in either black or white and will be available in the U.S. for a suggested retail price of $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB model and $399 for the new 64GB model. The iPhone 4S will be available from the Apple Online Store, Apple's retail stores and through AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless and select resellers.
iPhone 4S will roll out worldwide to 22 more countries by the end of October including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

KAUNEONGA LAKE, NY — When Al Frangipane puts on his red Santa suit and goes to meet a bunch of children, he is transformed. "When I walk into that room, I'm Santa," he said, "I'm not Al Frangipane. For an hour to two, I'm only Santa." Ho, ho, ho!
"One of the biggest thrills," Santa Frangipane recalled recently, "is the day we do CASA." That's the day Sullivan County's Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) put on a party for the court system's foster children. They come to see Santa Claus, sit on his knee and share their wish lists with him. At the annual CASA party, Frangipane may have as many as 100 to 150 children line up to tell Santa what they want for Christmas.
"It's really a festive day," he explained, "and it's an experience those children wouldn't ordinarily have." Each child also has a chance to have a photograph taken with Santa and gets to take home a gift.
Santa's rounds in Sullivan County include more than the annual CASA party, which was last Saturday at the restaurant Mr. Willy's in Monticello, courtesy of Bill Sipos.This year, Santa Frangipane suited up for a big bash at Bethel Woods in the Events Gallery, an event at the Smallwood firehouse and a visit to another party put on by the Police Benevolent Association in Monticello.
Santa almost never travels alone. "My wife, Maria, is my Mrs. Claus," Frangipane said. "She does my makeup." And along with the help of elf, a.k.a. Shelly Knepper, who's indispensable, she talks to the children and helps to warm up the crowd for Santa's big entrance.
"I remember one time at Bethel Woods (it may have been the first year we did that)," he recalled, "the choir was there singing, people were standing around, and I saw a family standing by the gift shop. Their little girl (she was probably around four) saw me, too. Her eyes got as big as saucers. So, I got down on one knee and I waved to her to come over. Well, she ran so fast and she jumped in my lap, she almost knocked me over," he laughed as he remembered the story.
Sometimes a child will take a tug on Santa's beard, and more often than you'd think a child will say, "But, Santa, you're supposed to know my name." (Frangipane replies that he sees so many children he just needs a little reminder.)
"It's my feeling about being Santa that when you dress the part, you have to become Santa Claus," he said. "I really like to see the children have confidence in Santa, to look me in the eye and have the feeling they can trust you." He tells how a child often will sit on his lap and then search the crowd to catch the eye of a parent or a foster parent. He admits he likes to watch the parents' faces light up, too. "The parents enjoy these occasions as much as the children," he observed.
Sometimes, something really special happens when a child talks to him. On one Sunday this month, Santa Frangipane had three separate children sit on his knee to ask for gifts for someone else. "One little girl told me, 'Santa, you took care of me last year. I don't need anything this year. Give my present to someone who needs it more than me.'" Another child, around six or seven, told Santa to give his present to his brother. These are the stories this Santa Claus loves. "I really wish more people could understand what magic happens," he said.
This year, he had one experience that gave him goose bumps. A boy came and sat on his lap and together they held a conversation. Santa asked the boy a few questions and the boy answered. And then the boy asked Santa a question: "Where's your reindeer?" After that the boy got down from Santa's lap, and the boy's mother came over to speak to Frangipane. She was very moved by the whole experience, explaining that her son was autistic and generally doesn't' speak to people, not even much at home.
Frangipane has been playing Santa Claus for at least 45 years. It all started in Brooklyn for family and friends. "Being Santa was something I inherited from an uncle of mine who did it for years," he said. The whole project continued after he retired from the bench on the New York State Supreme Court in Brooklyn and moved to Sullivan County.
Frangipane is active in his community. He's a Red Cross volunteer, a member of Bethel Lions Club, a fire commissioner at Kauneonga Lake and chairperson of a luminaries project (for 13 years) in Kauneonga Lake. He and his wife are also in involved with the Hurleyville museum.
But the highlight of his year is Christmastime. "The other 11 months of the year may have their ups and downs," he said, "but come December, I know I'm going to be happy." Christmas, he said, always gives him a clearer picture of what the world should always be like the rest of the year.

how about cutting up and serving fruit all the time? All Korean moms can remove the peel off an apple into one big strip using a knife.

I agree 100% with the fruit. When guests fill the house, there is a k-mom in the kitchen, frantically cutting away.
- October 18, 2008 at 8:22 AM
Related to talking smack, Korean moms like their holy trinity of people categorization: dirty, crazy or bad. You can be rehab'd from "dirty," you can sort of be admired for "crazy," but God forbid if you're "bad" -- you are beyond hope.

Hello! I dont know how come I got here, maybe it happened when I was trying to search my Korean favourite actress. I read your blog and catch this entry. I wanna know if there's any way to meet an actress like an fanclub's appointment? My fav. is Yang Geumseok/ Yang Geum Suk. She usually plays as Mother/ Aunt in dramas. Lastly, she played as Hose's mother in You Are My Destiny, the drama had a very high rating, maybe you know! And now, she's playing in Hometown Over The Hill [on KBSWorld!]
I'm still very young if comparing with her age but I like her so much. I've just tried and used all of my nerves and brain to guess what her korean site want me to do if I wanna be a member there. This is her site http://cafe.daum.net/loveyangks all written in Korean! ~"~ If you get there, maybe you can see only my cmt is in English. It brings me to my worry, I wonder if there's anyone understand Eng.? Because.. you know, my fav. is over 40, her site is just in Korean, I'm worring that fans in the site are about her age. OMG!! I felt like a winner when I could be a member there, but now I feel just like a loser. I did all but nothing! I dont want, I cant stand, I cant accept it!!!! oadhhhhhhh

The Filibuster
When the Catholic church complained about teams playing/opening their
season on Good Friday, you guys were all over it – "reminding" us all
of the separation of Church and State. So, will we also get a public
reminder of that over the New York Congressman writing to Uncle Bud
complaining about ESPN's decision to move the Red Sox-Yankees game to
8pm on September 27th and the fact that it started after sundown on Yom
Kippur. MLB & ESPN caved and the game will be played at 1pm and
shown only on ESPN. Is one religious holiday more "holy" then another?
Where is the public outcry? Inquiring minds want to know your opinion.
Julia's Rants
Despite what they may tell you in church, or temple or mosque or whatever… the founding fathers of our great US American nation had a pretty good sense of how detrimental, confusing and manipulative the institution of the Church could be to the sanctity of the State. Of course, these men were no angels, but they did know enough to make it clear that the two entities should never intersect — one shouldn't influence the other.
Unfortunately, even after hundreds of years, those pesky little zealots continue to infiltrate where they shouldn't. They meddle in my schools. They lobby in my government. And now they are sticking their hypocritical hands into my national pastime.
And I don't like it.
You see, dear readers, to be frank, I really don't care if you are religious or not. If you choose to put all your faith in recycled fairy tales that is most definitely your choice, your right. I will not judge you because I don't really care and I don't claim to know the answer to any of those questions that religion supposedly answers either. I just know that it isn't for me. But when it comes to your life, it's your life and you should be allowed to live it however you want.
But in return for this congenial act of courtesy, I ask that religious folk kindly extend me the same respect. Don't tell me I'm going to hell. Don't tell me what I should believe. Don't stick your nose in my bedroom. Don't blow up my cities. Don't tell my kids (speaking for the future) that they have to pray before algebra class. Stay out of my business and I'll stay out of yours.
And that includes my game.
Just stay out of it. If a game is being played during your 'holy' day then don't go to the game. And don't complain about it. What's so hard about that? I don't complain when you want to say a prayer before dinner. I just let you do it and go about my business. Because I respect your decisions, your choices, your thoughts.
Doesn't mean I have to believe them or practice them.
New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, the one responsible for sparking this childish debate, said:
"Practicing your
religion shouldn't conflict with rooting for your home team."
Likewise, Congressman, your religion should not conflict with how I or a baseball team or television network goes about business. Isn't religion all about sacrifice? Then sacrifice the game. Forget the game. Go do your thing and keep everyone else out of it.
The Tigers didn't give in to the Catholics in April. They made the right choice.
ESPN and MLB shouldn't have caved in to the Jewish faith on this matter either; because now they're forcing me to live my life how they want me to live it… and I ain't down with that.
King Bud screwed up again.
It's sorta his m.o.
Hate me 'cuz I don't like religion forced down my throat, just don't hate me 'cuz — as a baseball fan and as a US American — I'm right.

Great post, Jeff! I couldn't have said it better myself. (I especially don't think anyone should stick their nose in your bedroom.🙂
Great post!!!! And really – if the change in time meant I didn't have to listen to ESPN then I would have been delighted – but since I still have to hear their "oh, so stellar announcers" don't mess with it!! Thanks guys and CONGRATS on being #2 on the Latest Leader's List (FYI – while I am Catholic – I could not agree more – religion needs to be separate from State and sports – though here in Boston? Sports is a religion! lol!)
Abso-frickin-lutely! Of course, you are much kinder than I would be. People that believe in that crap are just fking delusional, period.
Right on. Just another reason why I can't stand "organized" religion.
Red Sox Ramblings: http://thevendahhh.mlblogs.com
Too follow up. What does it matter what time a baseball game is being played since (according to Wiki ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur):
"Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services."
If your praying and fasting all day, where do you have time to watch a ball game??? And if it starts at sundown and goes for 25 hours, what about the other games that are still being played in that time period???
What do I know, though?
Jane — Thanks. Means somethin' comin' from you😉
Julia — Thanks for the good question. Timely and necessary.
Jonestein — I dig your style, so I'd be very interested to see what YOU have to say about it.
Greg — I'm with ya! And I agree, if it's that important, then baseball should take a backseat… and I should get their tickets.
People are so self-righteous and self-absorbed these days…it really scares me sometimes.
So ridiculous. I'm sick of religion sucking the life out of everything. Baseball?! Really? Is nothing [out of the realm of religion] sacred anymore?
There should be one high Holy day in baseball—October 28th. That's because it's my birthday.
I couldn't agree with you more Jeff… a subject I could write a book on, so I'll just leave it at this… at least you can see Albert…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
IBDB — It's a never-ending horror flick.
Lisa — Paris Hilton. She's sacred (to some).
Prince — Was that a subtle hint?
Peter — Gotta say that makes it a good day.
Really? Religion is being "shoved down" your throats? I live here in the Midwest, and I have never had any religion shoved at me, nor have I ever been made to feel uncomfortable while discussing someones Else's faith. Perhaps because I am a conservative, I am more tolerant of different cultures, and ideologies. What confuses me is, why do liberals feel so "under attack" from religion? Why does it seem like Christians are there only adversaries? Why do they curl up and play victim to harmless faith-based groups? They say they are tolerant, but as soon as they see a cross, they are "victims". Curious, to me.
Thanks for the comment, Dezmo68. We're very open to all ideas, thoughts, opinions. Every single one counts and should be heard. Let me just clarify: nothing was actually "shoved down my throat". No one was hurt. "Shoved down my throat" is a figure of speech and in this case it defines the annoyance that is the Church getting in my business, my government, my life. I don't mind people doing and believing whatever they want; but I have a problem when it is "forced" upon me, meaning I don't like it when I am made to live my life according to how they (the Church) want me to. In any country, time, place, that just ain't cool.
Thanks for the timely response, Jeff. As always, I respect your opinion. I was using "shoved down my throat" in the same euphemistic manner that you were.
You mentioned that it (organized religion) is "forced" upon you. Again, not literally, but I wonder how? Are you "forced" to attend services? I don't know about how the church affects your business, but it is entwined in the government. The federal buildings in D.C. have biblical images and scripture all over their facades. The church cannot make you live your life in any way.
Unless you let them.
If changing the start time of a baseball game you most likely won't attend or watch really makes you upset, why? Do you have tickets? Is that how they make you live your life in their image?
I actually agree with you on the core issue, I don't think that any religious organization should ever care about the start time of any event outside it's doors. However, I do think that it offers up an easy opportunity to bash religion as a whole. Uninspired, trite, and amateur. Set the bar higher.
My guess is that, you live your life exactly as you want to. (I certainly hope so).

This is a DaTPRiNCE, Thread
Here is a look at how we matchup with the Magic<o></o>
Magic at Knicks<o></o>

  ORL<o></o>
	 	 41-14<o></o>	 102.2<o></o>	 94.5<o></o>	 22-6<o></o>	 19-8<o></o>	 W2<o></o>

  NYK<o></o><o></o>6-4
	 	 24-32<o></o>	 105.8<o></o>	 107.8<o></o>	 17-12<o></o>	 7-20<o></o>	 W1<o></o>

 <o></o>3-7<o></o>
The Magic have been on a roll this year, coming in everyone knew they would be good, and a team that could make some noise in the east. But so far the Magic have been among the best teams in League and are proving to be serious championship contenders. The Knicks on the other hand have been a surprise in their own way, coming in everyone wrote them off and said they would be at the bottom of the NBA. We have proven them wrong as it stands we are just 2 games out of the 8th The Knicks have been a good home team, but the Magic have been a great road team, expect a good game to the finish. seed and could make a serious push of the playoffs.

Player to Watch on the Magic

  20.9<o></o>
	  14.2<o></o>
	  3.0<o></o>
	  <o></o>

Howard is quickly becoming the most dominant player in the NBA; he is freakishly athletic which may one day have people calling him the best C ever. He's leading the league in rebounding and has been in a virtual tie with Lee for the double-double lead. He's the best shot blocker in the league and is the front-runner for defensive player of the year. On offense his post presence is felt every night as he scores in the paint at will, and has the defense at his mercy. With the play of the Magic this year and his stats, there's a reason he's also being mentioned as an MVP candidate.

AND NOW YOUR <st1:state w:st="on"><st1></st1></st1:state><st1:state w:st="on"><st1>NEW YORK</st1></st1:state> KNICKS

David Lee #42 PF<o></o>

	  11.9<o></o>
	  0.3<o></o>

David Lee is a machine he rebounds and is hard o stop when he gets in the lane, he could soar for the dunk or he could lay it in over you. He grabs rebounds in bunches, He's going to have his work cut out for him on the defensive end vs. the bigger, and stronger Howard, but I expect him to continue his double/double streak and it's his chance to prove he's for real, he needs to have a big game for us to have a chance.
My X-Factors are Nate Robinson and Wilson Chandler; both have been playing well lately. Nate Robinson has scored 30+ in 4 of his last 6 games, and took over the game vs. the Spurs, his electric performance vs. Pacers on Monday, made it hard for anyone to argue over him being 6th man Chandler has been up and down this season but he has played better than expected so far and has shown plenty of potential, he'll be huge for us on the defensive end trying to keep Turkoglu from getting open looks from the 3-point line, although I think he should guard Lewis as he is more of a threat all around. If he and Nate attack the basket, get to the line and play efficient we could pull out a win.

The Starting Lineup for your <st1><st1:state w:st="on">New York</st1:state></st1> Knicks

PG.
SG.
SF.
PF.
C.
This lineup has been getting it done so far this season, they've played hard and have shown they could play defense as well when they're committed. It'll be interesting to see how long they keep in Jeffries as they will be needing size vs. the Magic, so Wilcox could see extended minutes. This lineup has good chemistry and play well when they are on the court, Lee and Duhon run the pick-and-roll with efficiency, but it will be interesting how Howard's presence effects Lee. Nate will be huge off the bench and an instrumental part of what we do tonight. Expect him to continue his great play on Wednesday.

Things To Watch
1. Knicks to come out energized and playing efficient
2. Lee to play motivated and attack Howard
3. Howard to cause problems on both ends of the court.
4. Nate and <st1:city w:st="on"><st1>Chandler</st1> </st1:city>to be on point
5. A close, fun game to the finish.
Coaches Chalkboard Keys to Win
Don't Let the Magic get open looks from the 3-Point line.

my bad about the font size i keep changing it and its coming out like that.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
i really wanna see nate vs. alston matchup, who gonna lay down the better moves and get past the guy, etc
cool thread tho
my keys to a W:
- play hughes 9-10 mins tops
- have the crowd boo hughes if he gets into another quick slump(happened last night and the guy hit a 3 and got a steal)
- have will ferrell courtside again
- run a few pick & rolls here and there with lee & harrington, let harrington roam around his 3pt spots too cuz knicks seem to get inside easily for the most part with duhon and especially nate with their curl-around screens
it would be a major disappointment if the knicks lose, i think they can manage if they just let lee play howard 1on1 or blitz him occasioanly
dantoni got some good **** in that playbook tho cuz these guys always get open, just a matter of makin the right move every time
thanks man, took me forever to get all the stuff loaded and im still trying to fix the font it's too small.
but yea i hope Nate could continue his good play, he's been great lately were gonna need him if were gonna upset the magic.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Great thread prince. Sometimes when I make a thread, the font size gets screwed over too. Not sure why, it's weird lol.
We're probably gonna lose this game. Dwight Howard will tear us a new *******, and all the 3 point shooters will kill us. Way too much talent on this team for us to contend with. Usually, when a the opposing team has a dominant big man, our running style would help tire him out. But Dwight Howard is so athletic, he'll probably be able to keep up with us fine.
But, maybe they won't play hard since we are much lower in the standings. We need to play hard, if we want any chance.
thanks JayJ and yea my last thread didnt have this problem i dunno why it changed this time.
Howard is gonna **** us pretty good, considering we have no size whatsoever.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Jeffries & Wilcox keep Howard in check. Chandler & Hughes play tight D on the perimeter. N8 goes off. Knicks win!
Great thread btw.
lmao, not much you'd think it took me a long time but but it took me 20-30 mins tops.
i wanted to make it better and have sections no ones had before cause i have a lot of ideas flowing wanted to input some of them loll
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
curry is going to be re-actived for tommorrows game.. he is lean and trim and going to put a hurtin on dwight...
sorry about the above post... i just took my med's....
hell no lmao. im way too busy to have that much time, and if i did i wouldnt spend it on a thread lmao.
the only pain was the superman vs kryptonite , and chalkboard sections. everything else was basic, long as you guys digg it the it's all good.

As always, Great Thread Prince!! I hope your wrong on your prediction though! hahahaha
I have faith in Donnie Walsh

I love the look of matte nail polish! You should try Essie's matte topcoat,you can put it over any colour to make it matte, it's about $10 so it's not really cheap but it will save you the cost of buying a bunch of matte colours.

I'm so over this constant gloom and doom weather too! And, I've never tried this, but I've heard that an easy trick to making non-matte nail polishes appear to be is to apply a coat of your typical base coat on the top. It should cut out the shine.

President Obama wants 86% of people with HIV/AIDS to have stable housing by 2015. Currently San Francisco is in last place in the nation with only 9.1% of HIVers having their housing needs met. Help AHA change that by making a donation, or joining us online. Tell your friends, family and colleagues about the AIDS Housing Alliance/SF.
AIDS Housing Alliance/SF believes in a world where all people have a safe, decent and affordable home. Toward that vision we prevent homelessness for people with HIV/AIDS by protecting the housing we already have, providing resources to secure new housing, and promoting public policy to expand opportunity for all. Our goal is to become the largest housing services provider and largest employer of people with HIV/AIDS in San Francisco.
We have developed a comprehensive suite of housing services that are available to all people with HIV/AIDS and their households in San Francisco.
Our services include: housing referrals, back rent grants, move-in deposit loans, rental subsidies, credit wellness clinic, tenants rights counseling, job training & supportive employment, and public policy advocacy.
