"very good quality! not much customization needed, cards are beautiful as is. Customer service was amazing! I ordered a few too many and realized it right after I placed the order.... But I emailed customer service and they fix it right away and refunded me. Very happy with the product!"
"We couldn't be happier with our save the dates! We wanted it to represent our laid back, playful personalities and it did just that. We love the chalkboard look and the feel of the product is very expensive. We are so excited to send these out and order invitations next!"
"We love these save the dates, they are such good quality. We chose the purple colour and paid the extra for rounded edges and the pearl white shimmer which I think was worth it. We didn't pay for extra thick cardboard but I don't think you need it. They are printed on nice cardboard as it is. We have had so many compliments about our save the dates, definitely getting the matching invitations! And these are SO much cheaper then anywhere else you look. Thank you so much WPD"
"This design is BEAUTIFUL and exceeded my expectations! The quality and design are outstanding and I love the color choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these save the dates for a destination wedding."
"It took several rounds of redesigning the card to get the layout and colours exactly how we wanted them but the designer was very quick with creating and sending us the changes we wanted. The cards are beautiful, simple yet sophisticated and everyone complimented us on the cards! The square shape is hard to mail, we had to buy extra envelopes to mail them in! Just keep that in mind. All in all a good experience and I'll be buying my wedding invitations from weddingpaperdivas.com"

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Wednesday, August 5, 2009
And now that I've written that quote my mind goes blank as it often does with this illness. I need to write. I find it helpful to give voice to the many things that get stirred up living with this. When I start to blog I often have an idea of what I want to write about but I find I have trouble holding onto thoughts so I often miss getting at the essence of what I want to talk about. I've decided to get a notebook to dedicate just to taking notes from books I read, or ideas I have.
I also have to get over the fact that my writing skills have changed. I hope this will change but I used to speak and write using a lot of metaphors. I've lost that ability since getting sick. I find that when I blog I have to write really fast so I don't forget the things I want to talk about but it doesn't work-I forget anyway.
Something I've been reminded of these past couple days since feeling so bad physically is that when stressed or ill its very normal and natural to regress emotionally. I noticed the past couple weeks when I felt a little better and could handle having visitors, getting out in the world, etc...that I didn't feel so affected by things. I felt more a part of the world. Since feeling so ill these past couple days I find its harder to feel positive about things.
It is difficult to return to this state of being after being able to be out in the world like I did. I just hope the depression doesn't return. I worry about winter coming-I seem to do worse in the winter. It's like I've been ill long enough to know what's coming (which is frightening) but not ill long enough to develop a good tool kit. What I do when things get really difficult emotionally is focus on my breath and stay in the present moment as much as possible. I also turn to music and reading other people's blogs, or poetry, or a book.
I need to figure out a good system for tracking my symptoms along with activity levels, the starting and stopping of various treatments, etc...If I was computer savvy I might be able to set up a database but I'm not computer savvy. I think I need to use this blog more to track these things. It's the original reason why I started this blog.
These are some themes that have come up for me since getting sick and I'd like to write about them over the next few months:
Getting hit with a debilitating chronic illness causes most people to fall into the Abyss. It is a very difficult time but depending on how its handled, tolerating the Abyss can lead to rebirth, and creativity. I think this is why many people with me/cfs write books, poetry, etc...But its hard to tolerate this place and not want to numb oneself.
Memory-Mnemosyne-Muse-Orpheus-Now, when I think of my old life it is with fondness rather than grief but the memories I have are precious to me and sometimes I just savor the memory.
Making the invisible visible.
Living with chronic illness and the Underworld
I've spent the day in bed except to take medications or use the restroom. The past two days I've had absolutely no appetite-I'm having to force myself to get anything down, smells make me sick to my stomach, I'm lightheaded when I stand up, my eyes burn, the hair follicles on my head hurt, I can't focus for very long, I've had a severe headache (unfortunately my lidocaine and ketamine expired)-luckily the headache has eased up quite a bit, my brain feels swollen and full of junk, rotating muscle aches.
I think I'm going to follow my doctor's advice and have him write me a prescription for medical marijuana. He said it helps with sleep, nausea, appetite, etc...
I've decided I need to have some fellow me/csf sufferer's on my Facebook page but I don't know anybody's last name to send an invite to. If you are on Facebook and want to connect you can find me using the following email address: cfswarrior(at)gmail.com.
In peace and Wellness-

Writing really is therapeutic. I know I get frustrated when brain fog slows me down but I love it when writing things down helps me feel better and simultaneously helps others. I have found that sharing my experiences can help others and that is very rewarding.
Would tape recording your thoughts help you capture them to be transcribed later? I know I can speak far faster than I can type. Just a thought. I know I get frustrated when I think faster than I can write it down. I hate the feeling of forgetting things that were important.
It's nice to be more active but it is hard to go back to less activity, isn't it? It's like cabin fever sets in or something.
It's natural for it to be harder to think positively when we're sicker. It takes lots of time and practice to be able to focus on the positive more.
People with decades of chronic illness under their belts still struggle with this but it does get easier. I have been chronically ill for 27 of my 40 years. The more coping skills you get, the better you'll feel.
You are right that the sooner you get that "good tool kit" assembled, the more comfortable you're going to be. The winter months can be tough for many people.
It's good that you already know the importance of proper breathing and being in the present moment. That's awesome! Do you do acupuncture? I LOVE acupuncture!
Like you, I use music as a coping tool. (Just check out all the music references on my blog). :) I find reading other blogs helpful too.
For tracking your symptoms beyond the blog, you might want to check out the CureTogether site (see link in my blogroll). They have tracking options there that might help you.
You have already figured out that tolerating "The Abyss" can lead to positive things like creativity. This is huge. You have obviously been busy working at all of this stuff.
Savoring memories is great. My friend Stacy guest blogged for me recently and she touched on this very concept.
Sorry you have no appetite. Know all about smells causing trouble. I relate to many of the symptoms you mentioned... even the hair follicles hurting. I'm sorry you're in so much pain. :(
I hope you get some relief soon.
I wrote you a comment back on my blog (thanks for visiting!) re: the Facebook issue. I think I can help you find some people.

Jeanne from chronic healing sent me your way. I've lived with CFIDS for nearly 19 years now - basically bedridden for the first 2, slowly working my way back into life over the next several (including a season of contemplating suicide while also facing the anguish of infertility on top of the daily pain and frustration of CFS), leading a "fairly normal but careful/ quiet" life for several more years after that, then a hard crash again in the spring of 2007. That relapse put me almost totally down in bed again for 5 months and we've fought a very slow, up-and-down-again battle, crawling back into a "new normal" life since then, still very sick these past two years.
I'm also a writer and am working hard with my doctors and also researchers to kick this illness for good. My killer T cell count is nearly non-existant now, so I'll be starting IVIG treatments this coming Sunday. I haven't posted a lot about my current testing/treatments yet because I'm just trying to process what I'm thinking/feeling to get it down, but you can read a lot of the "back story" at www.InfertilityMom.blogspot.com and www.HarvestingHope.blogspot.com I'm also on facebook - Jennifer Saake - and on Twitter as InfertilityMom

Ouch! I feel for you. It's only a year since my diagnosis but I've been ill for much longer. It messes with your sense of self as all the things we build our identity on are taken away.
A couple of days ago I became a rebellious teenager for a day. I couldn't help myself. I was difficult, unreasonable and demanding. It was still me, just an aspect I hadn't seen in a while.
This is hard. There's a great deal to process and these are early days. Jeanne's right, it gets better as you build a cognitive liferaft.
I'm going to email you later with my own tracking device which I do in Excel.
Remember - This too will pass.

Hi terri
I find writing very therapeutic too. It not only helps me see where I am at but is a release for me..like a valve has been opened and the release of pressure balances me.
I have thought alot about using a tape recorder as I have difficulty rememember what I want to say if I write for awhile and then have to stop and go back. SOunds like a good idea.
So sorry you are feeling rotten again. Hope and pray it leaves quickly. You do amaze me with your persistence to keep finding all you can to help you.
And you write with great depth I think Terri. Your intelligence is very obvious to me in what you say.
Gentle hugs

The Geological Society of America, in partnership with the Chamber of Geological Engineers of Turkey, and the Turkish Association of Petroleum Geologists, is proud to present TECTONIC CROSSROADS: Evolving Orogens of Eurasia-Africa-Arabia meeting in Ankara, Turkey, 3-8 October 2010.
We are very excited about this opportunity for learning and intercultural exchange, and we invite you to be a part of this extraordinary event.
Ankara is a very special meeting location. Turkey is situated at the junction of the Eurasian, African, and Arabian plates. The dynamic interplay of tectonics, sedimentation, metamorphism, and magmatism has created a geologic tapestry blessed with significant natural resources and a populace facing notable seismic and volcanic hazards. These characteristics have been developed into meeting session themes being chaired by world experts. See technical sessions..
Local hosts are Middle East Technical University (METU) and the Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration Institute. Presentations and dialogue among experts and students will examine the processes creating the region's geology. Four days of sessions are structured around mid-meeting field trips on Wednesday, designed to ensure that all international participants experience some of the geology and culture of central Turkey. Pre- and post-meeting field trips focus on various sectors of the region's tectonic geology. See field trips.
The Turkish geological community plans to host this meeting in as vibrant a fashion as the geological dynamism of the region. The spectacular METU conference center in the hills of Ankara will serve as the central venue, and local organizers have selected hotels that will ensure that attendees experience evenings spiced with diverse Turkish cuisine and entertainment at moderate expense.
Turkey is also a great cultural crossroads of history. Local organizers have planned an opening reception and closing dinner highlighting their traditions and culture. The Ankara International Airport is modern and spectacular, with direct airline connections to more than a dozen European and Asian cities. International travelers making a domestic air connection through Istanbul only require a well-marked walk to a nearby terminal. Visas are easily obtained on arrival in Istanbul or Ankara for about $US20 (U.S. dollars and Euros are accepted).
The lead organizers of the Tectonic Crossroads meeting are Yildirim Dilek of Miami University and Erdin Bozkurt of METU. They are heartily thanked for their work to make this meeting, the first sponsored by the new International Section of GSA, a great success.
Be sure to be a part of this meeting!
We are looking forward to seeing you in Ankara on 3 October 2010.
Mark Cloos, GSA International Secretary
Jack Hess, GSA Executive Director

Hi everyone,
I'm new here, but I've read some of the entries, and it seemed like a good place to get some advice or at least vent. I gave birth on June 10 (due date of July 12) to a nice big seemingly healthy boy (6 lbs 6.3 oz). I had to have an emergency c-section because he was footling breech. Until my water broke, I had had a very easy low-risk pregnancy, no complications whatsoever. He was taken to the NICU immediately after the birth due to low temperature and blood pressure; my husband and I were successful in bringing him home after only one week, but the time there has created some difficulties I believe. They started supplementing him with formula almost immediately at the NICU. I was able to get him to latch though and put him to breast for nearly every feeding (always pumping after but never getting enough to avoid formula supplementation...he had strict requirements for feeding amounts). We've been home now for three weeks, and we're still supplementing (about an oz after every breastfeeding (every three hours) of either expressed milk or formula, usually 5-10 oz of formula/day). I'm seeing a lactation consultant fairly regularly, and we're not using a bottle (finger feeding and SNS). I'm so frustrated some days because it just seems like he's never going to catch on. He's started getting really fussy while latching and then not sucking or doing anything once on the breast. He was doing pretty well for the first 3-5 minutes on each breast (then falling asleep and taking lazy sucks while I compressed like crazy), but it seems like he's regressing. I just got some domperidone because I don't know what else to do to get my milk supply up. I had been taking More Milk and drinking Motherlove tea. I just feel as if I'm doing EVERYTHING and nothing is improving. Is there anyone out there with a situation like this? When can I expect him to wake up and get down to business? I've started having trouble getting a letdown during the post-feeding pumpings too. I just don't know how much more of this I can take. Exclusive breastfeeding seems like an impossible goal.

Loading Tree...
(click for larger image)
Bayou Meto (Arkansas County) Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI) Project is a voluntary program that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers for addressing water quality concerns in Bayou Meto that includes Lower Crocked Creek, King Bayou-Bayou Meto, Upper Mill Bayou, King Bayou, Hurricane Bayou, Kaney Bayou-Bayou Meto, Middle Mill Bayou, Rodgers-Bayou Meto, Lower Mill Bayou, Bayou Meto Outlet, and Bills Bayou.
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), in partnership with Arkansas County Conservation District, has received funding for the initiative. This funding is available for landowners in portions of Arkansas, Jefferson and Lonoke counties in the Bayou Meto Watershed. The project area covers 238,106 acres.
The goals of the project are to improve water quality, reduced sediment and nutrient loads entering the watershed, enhance wetlands, improve fish and wildlife habitat benefits, and improve the biological health of the streams. Water quality and water quantity will be enhanced through conservation practices in the project area to improve water quality and reduce ground water mining of the aquifer.
Funding will be available to eligible landowner through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). NRCS will provide financial assistance for a variety of conservation practices for the purpose of reducing the amount of nutrient runoff and soil erosion associated with agricultural production. Land and producer eligibility, adjusted gross income, and all other program criteria for participation must be met to participate in this initiative. Agricultural lands are eligible for enrollment in the initiative.

Visiting Los Angeles to meet up with the Dodgers.
The Phillies (64-53) will face the Dodgers (58-59, 2nd National League West) for the first time this season for a four games series in Los Angeles. The first game of this four games set will be played at Dodgers Stadium and will begin tonight at 10:10 pm Eastern (7:10 pm Pacific). The Phillies will sent to the mound Kyle Kendrick (10-5, 4.37), who is coming off a victory against the Marlins on August 6, where he threw six scoreless innings, giving up only four hits, in the Phillies' 5-0 win. His lifetime record against the Dodgers is 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA in two starts. He will be trying for his eleventh win of the year while hoping that the Phillies' offense will stick around long enough to give him some runs support. The Dodgers' starter will be Derek Lowe (8-10, 4.10), who is coming off a hard lost against the Cardinals on August 6, where he would only go three and a third innings, as he got bombed by the Redbirds for eight earned runs on thirteen hits, in the Dodgers' 9-6 lost. Career wise, he is 3-1 against the Phillies with a 2.84 ERA. He will be trying to improve his record while hoping to muzzle the Phillies' offense.
As the Phillies prepare to meet the Dodgers for the first of two four games, the offense will be trying to finally shake off their almost season long funk as they hope to increase their lead in the Eastern Division. At the moment, the starters has rung up a decent set of quality starts, going back to Joe Blanton shutting down the Cardinals back on August 2. Starting with that game, the starters have given up a total of eleven runs, only ten of which were earned, in fifty-one innings. If this keeps up, the starters as a whole might become tough to beat, once the Phillies' offense decides to stop going for the long ball, and start looking to make contact.
The Phillies presently lead both the Mets and the Marlins by two and a half games as the Mets have just lost a make-up game with the Pirates in New York, while the fish prepare to start a four games series with the Cardinals in Miami, starting tonight. The Braves trail the Phillies by nine and a half games as they prepare to take the day off. The Phillies will try to have another winning road trip while they hope to increase their lead in their division.

Tough start tonight but it is early and hopefully as you said, the Phillies can shake off this funk they have been in all season. I just keep waiting for them to explode but it has only sputtered. Very frustrating!
Tell me about it. I'd listened as Kyle wasn't able to perform his Houdini act with the Dodgers last night. It doesn't help that the bullpen then came in and put the Dodgers to sleep for the rest of the game. And you're not the only one waiting for the offense to explode. The worst part is, I'm thinking that they're finally noticing it and are starting to put pressure on themselves to perform. The guys might need to just calm down, stop listening to their own press about being such an explosive team and try to relax. I know, easy to say, and hard to do. It certainly didn't help that they could've increased their leads over both the Mets and Marlins last night with a win. Grrrr, I'm just hoping that Cole will have better luck tonight.

Your Turn: Your Feedback On Fence, Adult Home & Concerts
The city of Watertown is planning to take legal action against a man who's refusing to take down his illegal chain-link fence. Lawmakers rejected a request from Jacob Johnson to keep the fence, but now Johnson says he's not going to tear it down:
It is a law that is in place. Had he wanted to challenge the law, he should have gone about it the right way.
There are more pressing issues the city of Watertown should be concerned about.
An adult home in Pulaski is slated to close as soon as the end of February. The owner blames the Supplemental Security Income rate, which is barely over $1,200 per month per resident. He says that's not enough to pay the bills:
This is not a matter of right or wrong; it's one citizen defying a ruthless, reactive and vain government.
There are simply too many open questions to understand why $1,200 a month is not enough for housing and meals. Lots of us live on less.

- Title
- Solid-liquid phase equilibria of the Gaussian core model fluid
- Author(s)
- Mausbach, Peter; Ahmed, Alauddin; Sadus, Richard J.
- Abstract
- The solid-liquid phase equilibria of the Gaussian core model are determined using the GWTS algorithm, which combines equilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. This is the first reported use of the GWTS algorithm for a fluid system displaying a reentrant melting scenario. Using the GWTS algorithm, the phase envelope of the Gaussian core model can be calculated more precisely than previously possible. The results for the low-density and the high-density (reentrant melting) sides of the solid state are in good agreement with those obtained by Monte Carlo simulations in conjunction with calculations of the solid free energies. The common point on the Gaussian core envelope, where equal-density solid and liquid phases are in coexistence, could be determined with high precision.

Man pleads innocent to killing father, son electriciansFebruary 13,2014Staff Report
A 70-year-old Hubbardton man charged with killing father and son electricians Wednesday had been in an ongoing dispute with his landlord about allowing workers onto the property to do maintenance work, according to court records released this afternoon.
Sylvester Labartino, 70, pleaded innocent today in criminal court in Rutland to two counts of second-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Shane Plummer, 57, and his son, Christopher Plummer, 26, both of West Haven. Sylvester was ordered held on $750,000 bail and was taken to Rutland jail following the brief hearing.
The two men were killed Wednesday afternoon when they were at 578 Route 30 north in Hubbardton doing work at a home Labartino had been renting from William Gilbert, according to an affidavit by Vermont State Police Detective Sgt. Daniel Elliott.
A day earlier, the affidavit stated, Trooper Stephanie Shaw had gone to the residence after receiving a complaint from Gilbert that he had been "having difficulty" with Labartino, who was preventing electricians from doing needed maintenance at the residence.
"Gilbert advised the tenant was hostile and was a gun owner," the affidavit stated.
Shaw then talked to Labartino, who reportedly told her that the dispute with Gilbert had been going on for some time and he was tired of being bothered by his landlord.
Shaw again was called to the home Wednesday morning for a trespassing complaint made by Labartino, who told her that he again was having "issues" with Gilbert and electricians who had been at the property that morning, the affidavit stated.
Labartino told Shaw, according to the affidavit, that he didn't want to see Gilbert or the workers when he returned from a doctor's appointment.
On Wednesday, at 1:37 p.m., the affidavit stated, police received a 911 call later determined to be from a number belonging to Shane Plummer's cellphone. "I need help, my son has just been shot and he chased me out of my truck with a rifle," the caller said.
The first two troopers who arrived at Labartino's address at 1:56 p.m. reported finding two men on the ground and injured. Fair Haven Rescue personnel arrived at the scene at 2:06 p.m. and both men were pronounced dead, Elliott wrote in the affidavit.
At 2 p.m. police pulled over Labartino, who was driving a white Ford Bronco about a mile south of the scene, Elliott wrote. Labartino was taken to the Fair Haven Police Department and told authorities he wanted to speak with an attorney and then did not provide any statement, according to the affidavit.
Labartino appeared this afternoon in Rutland criminal court dressed in a green smock and sandals. He sat at the defense table and stared straight ahead, not looking at the rows of mourning family members who wept behind him.
Each second-degree murder charge against Labartino carries a possible maximum penalty of up to life in prison, if convicted.
Outside the courtroom prior to the arraignment, Michelle Charron, Shane Plummer's sister and Christopher Plummer's aunt, said she came to the hearing seeking answers.

I requested level 300's but they only said its for Upper Bowl. Should I request for something lower maybe 100-200 level for a better chance?
And when will we be contacted if there are available seats?

Ramiro Gonzalez Cavazos, 44, of Edinburg, and Robert Wayne Nabors, 61, of Como, were both killed in the accident.
Claude Everett Leach, 34, of Bigfoot, survived the collision, according to the accident report filed by Trooper Aaron Frazier of the Department of Public Safety.
McMullen County Judge James Teal pronounced the drivers dead at the scene at 10:21 a.m. and 10:25 a.m., respectively.
Traveling in the westbound lanes, Cavazos' rig, a 1994 GMC tractor towing a 1979 load belly dumper, veered into the eastbound lanes and sideswiped Leach's rig, a 2012 Peterbilt towing a 2011 drag tanker before striking head on Nabor's rig, a 2012 Mack Truck towing a 2011 drag tanker.
Leach's rig rolled one- and-a-half times before coming to rest on its drivers side off the roadway and facing south.
Nabors' truck came to a rest upright on the roadway facing south, and Cavazos' truck came to a rest on its passenger side off the roadway facing east.
Cavazos was wearing his seatbelt but was ejected from the vehicle and landed on the trailer, the report said.
Leach was extricated from his truck after emergency personnel worked 45 minutes, using the Jaws of Life to free him.
Leach was transported by an Airlife helicopter to University Hospital in San Antonio with critical internal injuries, according to the report.
Because of the accident, State Highway 72 was closed until about 5:30 p.m. Monday so the 18-wheelers could be hauled off and the roadway cleared.
Also at the scene were the McMullen EMS, McMullen Volunteer Fire Department, McMullen County Sheriff's Office, Live Oak County Sheriff's Office, Live Oak County Volunteer Fire Department and Acadian ambulance service.

Two PBS programs focus on Blues and the Jazz Age
September 29, 2011. Posted by Brandy Wood.Add new comment | Filed under: blues, bruce fretts, great performances, hugh laurie, jazz, jazz age, Jazz Alive, jazz88, ken burns, lynn novick, new orleans, pbs, prohibition, wbgo, WBGO Journal
PBS has two programs in the coming week that focus on New Orleans Blues and the Jazz Age. This Friday, September 30 at 9pm (Eastern), British actor Hugh Laurie showcases his musical side in a Great Performances episode filmed in New Orleans. October 2-4, 8-10pm nightly, brings Ken Burns' and Lynn Novick's Prohibition, about the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution and its effect on (or creation of) the Jazz Age.
Laurie says he finds his greatest satisfaction and inspiration from the mixture of blues and jazz that grew out of New Orleans at the beginning of the last century. This Great Performances, "Let Them Talk," includes documentary and interview segments during Laurie's travels around the city. The program features his performances with blues legends Allen Toussaint and Irma Thomas, as well as a fellow countryman Sir Tom Jones. With concert sequences filmed at the historic Latrobe's building in the French Quarter, the musical selections include New Orleans blues standards along with some forgotten and neglected gems.
On Friday at 6:30pm, tune into WBGO for the WBGO Journal as TV Guide's Bruce Fretts stops by to preview Prohibition. Ken Burns will also be a guest on Jazz at Lincoln Center Radio on WBGO Jazz88.3FM on Monday, October 3 at 6:30pm.

As Style and Fashion lovers, we want to offer you a kind of reference guide that may help you to define your best way of dressing and to also show that getting dressed is not only a question of clothes, but a real process.
1 – Charisma plays a big part in the perception of style. We are not talking about being pretentious, but rather developing your own identity, simply being yourself and following your heart. Presence, attitude, seduction are features of one's nature that can be modified over a lifetime by those willing to improve them.
2 – The fear of testing new experiences and others' opinions can stop us from daring something, and give us the feeling of being locked up in a cage where our personality cannot blossom. So we have to take risks in Fashion like in real life in order to keep searching for that exclusive part of ourselves that can be the starting point of discovering trends in the future.
3 – We always have to do our best in our field, whatever it is. And increase our results like in a sports competition. Improvement is a very important part of this Fashion State of Mind. Always go ahead, always push the limits.
4 – Creativity is a very important point too that requires intuition and experience. Creativity helps us to be ahead of the others and may even raise some people to the level of Fashion Icon. Imagination, daring, trying new things are the basis of each style, of all things that make our world move forward.
5 – The best way to improve our creativity is to cultivate our mind. The first step toward enriching our knowledge is to work on an open minded spirit. Not to be stuck only to the fashion world but to enhance our lines of interest by deeply researching different sources like blogs, websites, stores, art galleries, movies, books and so on. All of this can make us lift ourselves up.

ABILENE, Texas — Eastern New Mexico University's potent offense, averaging more than seven runs a game, was kept in check for the third consecutive game on Saturday and Abilene Christian held on for a 4-2 Lone Star Conference victory.
ENMU (17-13, 5-7 LSC) outhit the Wildcats 9-8, but stranded 11 runners and dropped its third straight in the finale of the four-game series. The previous three contests were decided by one run.
Right-hander Ty Taylor (3-3) went 7 1/3 innings for ACU (21-12, 9-3), allowing eight hits. Closer Brady Rodriguez pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, then stranded the tying runs on base in the ninth for his sixth save.
Third baseman Kyle Giusti drove in two runs for ACU with a groundout in the first and a single in the seventh.
The Hounds scored single runs in the seventh, on a two-out RBI single to right field by Luis Quinones, and the eighth, on Ryan Forkel's bases-loaded fielder's choice on a ball down the line that Giusti smothered and turned into a forceout.
Right-hander Ryan Boydstun (1-2) worked six innings for the Hounds, allowing just three hits and two runs.
Through 30 games, ENMU has either won or lost one game just once. The Hounds opened with four wins, lost one, then won seven in a row, lost nine straight and won six in a row before dropping the final three games of this series.

Hello. Does anybody know where I can download or copy some include files or libraries that will enable me to write CGI script in C++ for inputting data from a text area or some other kind of text data input (from the user's keyboard)?
Also, if I have to compile the CGI file on the server (due to the server having a different OS than mine) then would I have to upload the compiler and all of the librariea and include files using a program like Filezilla? If so would there be problems with file size and trasfer size limitations of my internet service or the host that I am trying to upload to?

Lewis will instead become a free agent but needs a procedure on his right knee. In his place, the Mavericks signed Al-Farouq Aminu to a reported two-year contract at the veteran minimum, with a player option for the second year.
"It came to our attention during Rashard Lewis's physical that he is in need of a medical procedure on his right knee," president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said in a statement released by the Mavericks. "We wish him all the best for a speedy recovery and continued success in his remarkable career."
Lewis spent the past two seasons with the Miami Heat and was a member of their 2013 NBA championship team. Last season, he averaged 4.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 16.2 minutes in 60 games. In the playoffs, he averaged 5.3 points and 2.1 rebounds.
In 16 NBA seasons, the two-time NBA All-Star has averaged 14.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 32.0 minutes in 1,049 games (842 starts) for the Seattle Sonics, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards and Heat.
Lewis was the No. 32 overall pick by the Sonics in the 1998 draft.
The 23-year-old Aminu played in 80 games for the New Orleans Pelicans last season and averaged 7.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

The education governorJanuary 11,2013
In the inaugural address of his second term Thursday, Gov. Peter Shumlin shifted the focus of his administration from the ambitious agenda launched two years ago to a new goal: education.
Shumlins first two years in office were eventful ones. He launched a major overhaul of the states health care system, and he undertook to make high-speed Internet available everywhere in the state by the end of this year. At the same time, he has had to contend with the historic devastation caused by Tropical Storm Irene, including the reconstruction of the states transportation system and mental health programs.
Now that these initiatives have been set in motion, Shumlin is moving on, using his inaugural address to stake out new territory. Education, he said, is the states greatest economic development tool. More than that, it opens the doors of opportunity for Vermonters of all ages.
At the heart of Shumlins argument were two telling numbers. He said 62 percent of job openings in the next five years would require post-secondary education. At the same time only 45 percent of Vermonters entering ninth grade continue their education beyond high school. That gap represents lost opportunity for Vermonters and for the states employers.
Shumlin acknowledged that Vermont spends 50 percent above the national average for education, and over the past decade education spending in Vermont has grown faster than in any other state. The result is one of the best systems in the nation, but with a major failure: With the vast amount of money that we spend per pupil in Vermont, we have failed to move more low-income Vermont kids beyond high school, he said.
It is refreshing that Shumlin has left behind the fruitless arguments and tiresome critiques that have dominated education politics in recent years. He did not mention the need to consolidate school districts. He spoke only glancingly about education finance. He did not mention increased accountability through standardized tests. Instead, he focused on ways to expand educational opportunity from pre-K through higher education with several new programs that could make a big difference.
He said it was time for the state to take action to make pre-kindergarten educational programs universally available and affordable throughout the state. Lack of affordable day care is one of the most significant obstacles to low-income Vermonters seeking work to lift themselves out of poverty.
Shumlins proposal would shift $17 million away from Vermonts contribution to the earned income tax credit toward a program to make day care and pre-K programs available to low-income residents. The earned income tax credit is a benefit that goes to low-income workers. It is a federal program to which Vermont adds its own funds as a form of income support. By shifting roughly half of the amount going to the earned income tax credit, the state would be targeting the money. Low-income beneficiaries of the credit would lose some money, but parents seeking support for a pre-K program would gain.
Shumlin would also use state funds to bolster spending on school lunches for students who can afford only reduced-price lunches, rather than free lunches.
Shumlin announced a new scholarship program for Vermonters studying science, technology, engineering or math. It is called the Vermont Strong Scholarship, and for college graduates, with either an associates or a bachelors degree, part of their tuition would be repaid if they stayed in Vermont to work.
None of these initiatives would represent a major budget outlay. Legislators, however, may want to consider whether they can find a better source for the $17 million than the pockets of low-income Vermonters.
Taken together, all of Shumlins proposals are the work of a governor who is not content to coast, but who continues to look for ways to lead in areas of need. He is in the process of becoming Vermonts health care governor. Now he is putting in a bid to become the education governor. It is an ambitious and worthy goal.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...

The American Samoa Aquatics Agency (ASAA) will be holding a big swim event called 'Swim A Mile To Save A Life' (Auau Le Maila Ia Sefe Ai Le Ola) tomorrow morning starting at 9:00 a.m. at Utulei Beach park with members of the ASAA making a one mile swim.
"The sole purpose of this swim is to raise awareness on keeping the ocean clean and the importance of learning how to swim, that by doing so, you can not only save someone's life, but yours as well," said head of the ASAA, Zero Iaulualo. "I invite the public out to this big event, which will be starting at 9:00 a.m. We really need to start cleaning up our backyard, which is our ocean. We see it, drive by it, take our kids to it, eat from it and look at it everyday, but people continue to keep throwing things in the waters around us that should not be there."
"It is so important that we take care of the ocean, because if we do, it will take care of us," he said.
"The swim will be a one mile swim and will be done by members of the ASAA. We are also trying to express the importance of learning how to swim. The main reason why people drown is because they do not know how to swim. I see so many people at the Utulei Beach Park and I am always wondering if they know how to swim. If you are running or walking on the road and you get tired, you can sit in the shade and rest. But if you are in deep water and you get tired, what are you going to do if you can't swim. I know that there will be a lot people out at Utulei Beach Park, due to it being New Year's Eve, and I hope they will come on down to where will be, and cheer us on. I invite everyone," concluded Iaulualo.
The ASAA has been cleaning up Utulei Beach Park since last month as part of the Division of Marine Wildlife Resources (DMWR) plan to clean up the waters around American Samoa.
Last November, the ASAA requested that Utulei Beach Park be put on first priority as one of the places to be cleaned. The ASAA has jump-started the project and has removed close to 1,000 pounds of trash from the water at the park.

The new Volvo FMX

Volvo FM Classic
Suspension in the new Volvo FM has been completely revised to match the handling performance of the new Volvo FH. In particular, course stability and steering control are noticeably improved. The Volvo FM might even feel like it hugs the road more – as the driving position is lower.
In geometry the smallest changes can sometimes make the biggest differences. Vehicle dynamics expert Niklas Fröjd begins with an example of this – the positioning of a stabiliser.
"When a fully loaded truck starts cornering there is a lot of roll torque coming into the tractor frame from the trailer. This force can feed through to the axles and cause wheel misalignment – an unpleasant sensation for the driver who will need to compensate for it. But by placing the stabiliser close to the fifth wheel position, that force now gets fed into the ground. This makes a big improvement to the cornering stability of the truck."
Everything is either replaced, upgraded or enhanced
The new stabiliser position is also helpful in evading the forces that normally enter the chassis from an uneven road surface. This, of course, makes the ride more comfortable and improves course stability. A further benefit occurs in cornering:
"Let's say you are driving round a roundabout – the cornering forces cause the cab to roll. But the new stabiliser installation in the rear suspension reduces this. The trailer now transmits much less force to the cab."
Steering control too, has been sharpened by geometry. "We have introduced a slight inclination in the suspension system," says Niklas Fröjd tipping his outstretched hand a little. "Of course, none of this is visible, but previously it was parallel to the ground. The new angle creates a slight counter steer when you're turning and cornering."
Apart from preventing any tendencies to oversteer, this is one of the things that allows you to choose your line through the road ahead and then feel how the truck follows it.
In combination with its improved geometry, the entire suspension has been revised and fine-tuned. So everything is either replaced, upgraded or enhanced to achieve the desired result – spring stiffness and damping systems, for example. Even the engine suspension is improved to cause less vibration. Less vibration means less fatigue for the driver. And a driver who feels good is safer than one who is jarred and exhausted.
Stefan Axelsson has been responsible for verifying the performance of the new suspension. He likes the fact that he feels he can trust the truck in tricky situations where there's little margin for error. "When you meet an oncoming vehicle on a country road, for example, your mind goes through the margins in a fraction of a second. It's at this point you discover how much steering control you have in the truck," he says.
Stefan Axelsson thinks long and hard before answering. "Not really, more of an insight I suppose. It's surprising how exactly you can drive it on a winding road – now that it has car-like handling qualities. With other trucks you wouldn't dare push it so hard."
Niklas Fröjd believes this has a lot to do with the tightness of the new set up. "There's nothing masking your interpretation of the road, the geometry makes it feel more connected. And because it forms a dynamically stable truck and trailer system, it's also more comfortable." He admits that he's proud, but what finally comes across is a sense of personal satisfaction. "You get what you want out of it – it feels like real driving."

Breakfast links: Who's for transit?
Of course, it won't really hurt him much. Tim Kaine, though?
Yes, and it also provides $108 billion to transit over the 6-year authorization. That compares to $58 billion over the past 6 years (not including ARRA).
I think WMATA would gladly trade $15 million (or $30 million if MD/VA/DC reduce their match) for an average increase of $265 million a year in formula funds.
People need to quit screaming about WMATA losing a tiny amount of money (0.75% of total operating/capital budgets) and tell the real positive story which is that the administration wants to MASSIVELY increase support for transit.
by David Alpert on Feb 14, 2012 8:56 am • link • report
@DAlpert; if the federal concern was employees, the several hundred million being paid directly to federal employees to ride for free would seem to be sufficient.
They should get special federal funding because they ransport federal employees.
I honestly don't buy that. 80% of the federal employees are outside the DC area. The Denver metro has 40,000 federal employees. Do you believe that RTD-Denver should be subsidized because of this? The fedearl employment here (and in Denver!) provides a very strong employment and overall tax base that has plenty of effects, not to mention the private sector base that has been attracted by the government.
I'm all for transit, but the extra federal subsidy over and beyond the standard formula allotment keeps this area from making a commitment to set up the same, regional dedicated funding source for transit that other metro areas have done.
Arguing that the wealthiest overall metro area in this country is somehow unable to set up a regional funding mechanism for transit (which is NOT due to lack of funding, but a local governance issue) is ridiculous. This area is not a special snowflake.
The feds do provide some transit money to all systems by formula, and so you could easily say that more than covers the federal employee impact on all systems. But the federal impact on the DC region is orders of magnitude higher, and so they should provide more to DC region transit in particular as a result.
In other words, if the government took all the money it spends on transit and allocated it to systems based on the numbers of federal employees each carries, WMATA and other local transit systems would get tons more money and everyone else would get far less. I'm not suggesting that, but it's totally warranted for WMATA to get a special appropriation.

A 14-year-old Georgia boy was arrested after refusing to get out of bed for school.
The boy's mother told police in Athens her son had been tardy more than 30 times this school year because of his reluctance to get out of bed, the Athens Banner-Herald reported.
Earlier this week, she threw water on him after he refused to get up and the boy got violent.
Police said he punched a window and shattered a mirror, vase and several other items.
The boy was arrested, and an official with the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice told officers to charge him as an unruly child and with criminal damage to property, the Banner-Herald reported.

Seizing his opportunity, the detective pulled out his wallet and counted out $25 with a dramatic flourish. "I am but a stranger to you," Pinkerton said, avowing his own secessionist fervor, "but that I have no doubt that money is necessary for the success of this patriotic cause." Pressing the bills into Luckett's hand, Pinkerton asked that the donation be used "in the best manner possible for Southern rights." Shrewdly, Pinkerton offered a piece of advice along with his largesse, warning his new friend to be "cautious in talking with outsiders." One never knew, Pinkerton said, when Northern agents might be listening.
The ploy worked. Luckett took the warning—along with the money—as proof of Pinkerton's trustworthy nature. He told the detective that only a small handful of men, members of a cabal sworn to the strictest oaths of silence, knew the full extent of the plans being laid. Perhaps, Luckett said, Pinkerton might like to meet the "leading man" of the secret organization, a "true friend of the South" ready to give his life for the cause. His name was Capt. Cypriano Ferrandini.
The name was familiar to Pinkerton, as that of the barber who plied his trade in the basement of Barnum's. An immigrant from Corsica, Ferrandini was a dark, wiry man with a chevron mustache. A day or so earlier, Hillard had brought Davies around to the barbershop, but Ferrandini had not been there to receive them.
Ferrandini was said to be an admirer of the Italian revolutionary Felice Orsini, a leader of the secret brotherhood known as the Carbonari. In Baltimore, Pinkerton believed, Ferrandini was channeling the inspiration he drew from Orsini into the Southern cause. Whether Ferrandini and a rabidly secessionist young actor known to frequent Barnum's—John Wilkes Booth—met there remains a matter of conjecture, but it is entirely possible that the two crossed paths.
"Mr. Luckett said that he was not going home this evening," Pinkerton reported, "and if I would meet him at Barr's Saloon on South Street, he would introduce me to Ferrandini."
Captain Ferrandini, he said, "had a plan fixed to prevent Lincoln from passing through Baltimore." He would see to it that Lincoln would never reach Washington, and never become president. "Every Southern Rights man has confidence in Ferrandini," Luckett declared. "Before Lincoln should pass through Baltimore, Ferrandini would kill him." Smiling broadly, Luckett gave a crisp salute and left the room, leaving a stunned Pinkerton staring after him.
Pinkerton had come to Baltimore to protect Samuel Felton's railroad. With Lincoln's train already underway, he found himself forced to consider the possibility that Lincoln himself was the target.
Now it was clear to Pinkerton that a warning must be sent to Lincoln. Years before, during his early days in Chicago, Pinkerton had often encountered Norman Judd, the former Illinois state senator who had been instrumental in Lincoln's election. Judd, Pinkerton knew, was now aboard the special train as a member of the president-elect's "suite." The detective reached for a telegraph form. Addressing his dispatch to Judd, "in company with Abraham Lincoln," Pinkerton fired off a terse communiqué: I have a message of importance for you. Where can it reach you by special Messenger.—Allan Pinkerton
On the night of February 12, Pinkerton stepped around the corner from his office to Barr's Saloon to keep his appointment with Luckett. Entering the bar, he called out to Luckett, who came forward to present him to Ferrandini. "Luckett introduced me as a resident of Georgia, who was an earnest worker in the cause of secession," Pinkerton recalled, "and whose sympathy and discretion could be implicitly relied upon." In a lowered voice, Luckett reminded Ferrandini of "Mr. Hutchinson's" generous $25 donation.
Luckett's endorsement had the desired effect. Ferrandini seemed to warm to the detective immediately. After ordering drinks and cigars, the group withdrew to a quiet corner. Within moments, Pinkerton noted, his new acquaintance was expressing himself in terms of high treason. "The South must rule," Ferrandini insisted. He and his fellow Southerners had been "outraged in their rights by the election of Lincoln, and freely justified resorting to any means to prevent Lincoln from taking his seat."

- Abstract
- Wheat is the largest food crop that humans rely on, and as such, the world wheat production is expected to keep pace with demands of the growing population and changing climate. There are also new pressures on cereal grains from the bioethanol industries. However, wheat as well as other cereals are severely affected by climatic factors such as salinity, drought, and nutrient deficiency or toxicity in a number of areas around the world. These environmental stresses variously impact plant growth, health, nutritional value and crop yields in various geographic regions and climates. A number of genetic factors are known to participate in the responses of plants to abiotic stresses, and involve interacting networks of specific genes and proteins with the ultimate goal of stress tolerance. Aquaporins, members of the major intrinsic protein (MIP) family, are channel proteins located in cellular membranes, and their roles in water uptake in plants are now well established. In addition, recent years have seen an explosion in the number of substrates found to be transported by these channels, many of the substrates being of physiological importance. Further, aquaporins are also shown to contribute to processes such as germination, plant development and photosynthesis. In this work, the key biochemical properties of aquaporins will be summarised, followed by an overview of the main subfamilies of MIPs, the types of substrates that permeate through these channels and their effects on plant physiology, and perspectives on applications of these proteins in cereal biotechnology.
