So what's with the carbon fiber in the engine bay of the black car?...I assume this is not a VW facility?
I had totally forgotten the FAW Bora and I wouldn't have recognized it, either.

Here are just a few of the most common conditions and treatments available at the Baptist Health Floyd Spine Center:
• Degenerative Disc Disease is a normal part of aging that often occurs along with spinal stenosis. Over time, stressors and minor injuries cause the spinal discs to gradually degenerate, shrinking the space between discs and causing instability and nerve compression. Conservative rehabilitation and pain management treatments are typically successful.
• Herniated/Ruptured/Bulging or Slipped Discs can occur as a result of injury or a fall, repetitive motion, or as part of the normal aging process. Rehabilitation and pain management treatment is typically effective, but in severe cases surgical intervention is appropriate.
• Kyphosis is a condition in which the spine is abnormally curved, typically occurring during adolescence or the teen years (postural or Scheuermann's kyphosis) or during formation in the womb (congenital kyphosis). Postural and Scheuermann's kyphosis treatments are available at the Center, and typically respond well to physical therapy, anti-inflammatory treatment, and in severe cases, bracing.
• Osteoporosis typically occurs in postmenopausal women and may contribute to painful vertebral fractures. Surgical procedures such as Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are usually effective treatments. Physical therapy may also be beneficial to strengthen muscles, reduce pain and return the patient to their prior mobility level.
• Sciatica is a painful condition resulting from irritation of the sciatic nerve. The irritation is often caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve resulting from an abnormally tight piriformis muscle in the buttocks, slipped disc, degenerative disc disease, stenosis or a tumor. Treatments include anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy and, in severe or persistent cases, surgical intervention.
• Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs during growth spurts before puberty or as a result of arthritis, spinal injury or other spinal disorders. Most cases are mild, but severe cases can be disabling, resulting in a need for bracing or surgical intervention where rods, screws, wires and hooks are used to correct the curvature. Physical therapy is also indicated to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the back to reduce the progression of the curve and pain.
• Spinal Stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal that often accompanies degenerative disc disease and is typically seen in people over 60. It progresses slowly over time and causes back and leg pain during activity. Conservative treatments are often effective.
• Spondylolisthesis occurs when one vertebra slips forward on the vertebra below it. The severity of the slip determines treatment methods, but in most cases physical therapy can help strengthen the muscles of the back, reducing pain and enabling them to compensate for the slippage. Pain management may also be used short-term to control pain, relieve spasms and decrease inflammation.

Stickerdot Stickers fading after just one week Auckland Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I ordered vinyl stickers from Stickerdot after reserching what sort of stickers would be the most cost worthy and suitable for outdoors. It clearly states on their website that vinyl stickers are appropiate for indoor and outdoor use, it also states that they are good for upto seven months. I would of been happy if they only lasted three monthes but they only lasted a week before they started fading.
I contacted Stickerdot about this and all they had to say was
Apologies for this matter.
Standard vinyl can be use outside but regarding the print it will easily fade especially if it's too much exposed to sunlight.
If I am not mistaken if a sticker is going to be put outside it is defently going to be exposed to sunlight, unless it was to be put in a dark corner under a deck or something, but that would defeat the purpose of having a sticker because no one could see it.
I then sent them a email explainting what I understood from their website and that I wanted this matter rectafied as soon as possible, to which I have not recieved any further email from them.

A Mutated Dream
Short Story by: Lee Popsicle
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
A Mutated Dream
It's a world where everything has become corrupted. Everything is twisted from its' original normal form. Everyone is aware, but the people overtly hide the fact that they know. All things have a dark nearly colorless appearance. I was confused. I seemed to know the people around me, but they all acted very strangely. They look slightly mutated, covered in a greenish, grey dirt. Hands and legs seem melted into formless shapes.
Trash covered the ground under a thin layer of ashy dirt. The air was thick like after a volcano erupted. Breathing isn't difficult but it's nearly impossible to see twenty feet away. We congregated in what seemed to be cave like hovels with ankle deep swampy water.
A man whose name I didn't know but with whom I felt strangely close, like a father figure or a big brother, informed me it was time to go down into a lower level of a hovel. As we climbed down sturdy oddly spaced platforms, our flashlights became less and less useful; the air: thick like the depths of the ocean. I become aware that I am unsure if I'm underwater. But there is no time to consider this. A creature, just below me, comes into view.
This alligator like beast with large jaws has a smooth appearance. It seems that the mossy grey substance covering this creature is part debris and part the thing itself. The beast doesn't seem to be aware of my presence. Its' head is smooth on top. It doesn't have eyes.
The man I've descended with has moved down behind the creature. Still unsure of where exactly I am and what I role is, I stop to see what the man will do. Will we kill this creature? No. The man continues moving past the creature down a corridor. I follow. We join others in a small room. The water here is deeper, only a couple of feet deep, but we are all on our hands and knees or sitting on the floor with only our heads unsubmerged.
A woman asks with, obvious intent to communicate something with me, "Why did you wear your glasses? Don't you think they make it easier to see that we live on trash covered rubble of what we once were?"
"Oh, um… yeah. Of course. What was I thinking?" I replied. It was clear to me that everyone was living in denial driven by fear of something. Perhaps we had been taken over my powerful extraterrestrials. Whatever happened, these people seemed terrified of it.
The man I followed down into this room moves up through a hatch. The expressions of quiet fear and uncertainty on the faces of those around me make me suddenly uncomfortable and afraid. The silence adds to my new anxiety. As I kneel in the murky water, time seems to stand still. Minutes or hours pass, I can't tell, it could have been days, then, we hear a noise from the other side of the hatch.
We all stand and open the hatch. On the other side, stands the man. He and everything around him have regained normal color. Though the deformities remain, the man smiles and everyone seems overjoyed. We must have been victorious over whatever had corrupted our world.
Unaware of the original problem or found solution, I still feel a peace. The sky is finally a beautiful blue. Skin takes on a more natural reddish hue. The air is clear. The water is clean. All is right with the world.

Pollen source - Chinese elm?
Original post made by Hayfevered, College Terrace, on Sep 15, 2010
I did some more online research and found that Chinese elm trees flower in autumn and that the City of Palo Alto is in the process of planting more Chinese elms as street trees.
Yet I also found a web site that identified Chinese elm as a tree that should be avoided by allergy sufferers. Doesn't the City of Palo Alto take these things into consideration when deciding on what type of tree to plant? Could it be that the severity of my allergic reaction has to do with the increasing number of Chinese elm trees in Palo Alto?
Coincidentally, I mentioned my allergy problem to a neighbor, and she told me that she started getting allergy symptoms at about the same time.
I'd like to hear about anyone else who suffered similar hayfever symptoms this weekend.
By the way, the web site indicates that the elm pollen count is expected to drop tomorrow. Good news for us allergy sufferers in Palo Alto.

The BAAPCD has the authority to prohibit non-native plants that dispense harmful pollens, but they chose not to exercise that power. Talk to them.

Same here. I was sneezing badly on Sat and Sunday in particular. Went to a ballgame in Oakland and felt better - came back and did worse. Took Claritin which helped somewhat, but I hadn't needed it in a number of years. Seems better now.

I have a beautiful Chinese Elm tree in my backyard. It's huge. Fell in love with it when I bought my house. The first fall after moving into my house (1988), I got my first case of allergies. I told my doctor that I'm allergic to August. It took several years to really pin-point it to the tree but I am very allergic to that tree in August. My nose keeps running until it starts to rain in November. Every August I want to bring it down but then I realize there are so many Chinese Elms in Palo Alto.
a resident of Midtown

Add me to the list.
Chinese elms are all over Palo Alto, and I planted one in my back yard 15 years ago! That was obviously before I knew I was allergic to them, actually very allergic to them. I get allergy shots (have for years), and yet August through November are still difficult months for me. This year seems to be particularly bad. Is it because of the abundant rain last winter? I don't know.

Perhaps we need work on chemically castrating plants, so they no longer produce pollen. This is one low hanging fruit not harvested.

Dang - sometimes even a blind pig finds an acorn. Unknown to me when I wrote the above, apparently there is thriving research in chemical castration of plants to control pollen production, some even by marijuana growers. Since allergies are one of the last human maladies tackled with source controls, and since allergies are a leading cause of reduced efficiency, the failure of the Air Pollution Control Districts to consider pollen control is unconscionable.

I live in Menlo Park and have a Chinese Elm in my front yard. My nose is completely blocked today and watering like a tap. I wonder if an indoor air filter will help.
a resident of Jordan Middle School
on Sep 24, 2013 at 10:43 pm
We have Chinese Elm in our front yard too. Researched air filters and purchased the well-rated BlueAir indoor air filter from Bed Bath Beyond with the 20% off coupon: Web Link
It is quite large but is very quiet on low - can hardly hear it. Does it help? It's in our bedroom, so perhaps helps a bit at night, but pollen is everywhere outside. I dose-up on Claritin and when that stops working after a couple of weeks, use Flonase nose spray (prescription) which helps. I think the drugs probably help more than the air filter, but my allergies are only moderate.

Just looking to see if there were other people at this time of this year ( mid-May 2014) that are suffering from allergies. I used to something get allergies, but this year is terrible. Anyone?
a resident of Midtown
on May 19, 2014 at 4:38 pm
I am very allergic to elms (I have two in my yard!). I can confirm that starting in mid-August my allergies are awful and it continues for weeks thereafter.
Although I have allergies year round, they are worst in the fall and it's when the trees cause my allergies. We've had no choice but keep all windows and doors shut and install A/C in our house.

My son was tested for what specific tree pollens he was allergic to with skin prick tests, then had allergy shots for those specific allergens, including elm. Problem solved. It does help to know very specifically which trees you are allergic to because then you can figure out which types of trees produce pollen when, and treat it systematically with Zyrtec. And no, the city of Palo Alto could care a less the allergen levels of trees they plant. On the bright side, some trees like Magnolias, cause no tree allergy problems at all, according to our allergy doctor.
a resident of Palo Verde
on May 19, 2014 at 10:38 pm
Our backyard neighbors have two huge trees and they drop all manner of items in our yard - year round. Thank goodness we are not allergic. It sounds really difficult.
If they are not protected trees, is there a reason the highly allergic and suffering residents with them in their own yards don't take them down and replace? Is it the size? cost? Am I a horrible person for suggesting this?
a resident of Midtown
on May 20, 2014 at 12:02 am
@ Parent: I was tested, which is why I know I am allergic to the elms for sure. I get shots. I have for years. They help, but in fall, my allergies are still very bad when exposed to outdoor air. Allergy meds like Zyrtec make me very sleepy.
@ New in Town: My two elms are very large and beautiful, and I don't want to get rid of them. I am also allergic to all kinds of other pollens, and other allergy agents. So, removing the trees might help a bit but would not be the end of my allergy problems, unfortunately. Not to mention that Chinese elms are ubiquitous in PA.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on May 20, 2014 at 1:53 am
You might consider the night-blooming jasmine, too. It's very allergenic and planted all over the place. It's on a lot of road medians, and it's very likely you are spending a lot more time sitting next to them if you drive at all in PA.
An allergy filter in your house could help, too.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on May 20, 2014 at 1:58 am
"Since allergies are one of the last human maladies tackled with source controls, and since allergies are a leading cause of reduced efficiency,.."
The majority of people are using products in their homes that significantly increase antigen load. It's effectively to their immune systems like there is far more allergen in the environment than there really is. It's not necessary to change the outside world, just the inside one. And it's actually not even necessary to have air filters, that turns out to be an expensive solution. But it's one people are usually more ready to do.

D-Rose PC mail & more!
It has been a while since I've had any mail to speak of on the basketball side, but with the season fast approaching I've had the itch to pick up some stuff for the ol' D-Rose PC. And a little more.
First, the little more. This lovely piece came in from Panini just today.
Not bad!
And for the Rose PC.
Lowest first. Picked these up locally the other day...
Then came this nice little insert that I had to get my hands on.
And then I felt the need to get a new auto... It has been far too long.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0835608808, Paperback)
The modern Western movement to embrace Eastern spiritual traditions usually stops with India and the Orient. Westerners have yet to discover the wisdom that dates back even further to ancient Egypt. With a Jungian perspective, clinical psychologist Dr. Thom F. Cavalli plumbs that wisdom through the myth of Osiris, the green-skinned Egyptian god of vegetation and the Underworld. As no one else has done, Cavalli draws on Osiris's death and resurrection as a guide to spiritual transformation. The myth represents the joining of the conscious and the unconscious, the light and the dark, life and death, and shows how to live our temporal existence in service to and anticipation of eternal life. Cavalli sees the ancient art of alchemy which attempted to turn lead into gold as the key. The alchemical recipe "solve et coagula" (solution and coagulation) encoded in the myth describes the integration of all parts of a person and the method for achieving an experience of immortality in life and eternal life after death. The Osiris myth thus provides a model for the contemporary quest for individuation, the Jungian term for integrating ego and self, body and soul, in the process of becoming whole.

FLW Tour pro and reigning TBF national champion Mark Daniels Jr. of Fairfield, Calif., weighed a 26-12 sack on Saturday to win the California Delta Western Rayovac with a 3-day total of 72-07.
"I'm just speechless," he said. "Looking out in the crowd, there are so many people here who supported me. It's great to get home and relax and get a win in this tournament.
"I came home to surprise my mom and I hooked up with a couple of my buddies. We went out fishing and had a really good day. We caught a really good fish that I posted on Instagram, and that gave me an idea of what I could do to win the tournament. I made up my mind and signed up for the tournament the next day.
He said he focused on pre-spawn fish.
"I was targeting fish that wanted to actually bite. I don't like looking at them on beds. There are so many different ways you can catch them pre-spawn on the Delta. That was the way to go.
"(Saturday), I didn't have any really big ones. I had some 6-pounders, though. I started out throwing topwaters and I was just catching small fish. Around 8 o'clock in the morning I swapped over and started flipping and immediately caught a 4-pounder. After that I pretty much locked that rod in my hand the whole day."
Full details of his winning pattern will be published soon.
Here are the totals for the final Top 10:
1. Mark Daniels Jr.: 72-07
2. Kyle Grover: 65-09
3. Vu Au: 63-07
4. Roy Hawk: 59-09
5. Stephen Tosh Jr.: 58-10
6. Jerred Jennings: 57-11
7. Greg Leonard: 57-07
8. Tai Au: 52-03
9. Timothy Venkus: 51-09
10. Benjamin Byrd: 50-12

Team preview: Charleston Southern
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2003-04 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
Updated: November 5, 2003, 1:24 PM ETBlue Ribbon Yearbook
Editor's Note: Insider has teamed with Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook, long known as the Bible of college basketball, to provide a comprehensive look at all 327 Division I teams.
Just when it looked like the Buccaneers' ship had come in, they walked the plank in seven of their last 10 games last year and now look to rebuild minus their top three scorers.
If the outlook sounds murky, don't tell veteran coach Jim Platt, who thinks the new mix at Charleston Southern could be better than last year's 14-14 squad. Those 14 victories represented the most at former Big South-power CSU since 1997, not coincidentally the Bucs' last league championship season.

Home Security Telemarketers Settle No-Call Violation Lawsuit
ISI Alarms and JVersacio Corp., will pay a combined total of $17,500 for violating Missouri's no-call and telemarketing laws.
By SSI Staff · August 5, 2014
JEFFERSON, Mo. — The Missouri Attorney General's Office has settled a lawsuit against two alarm companies that violated the state's no-call and telemarketing laws.
Attorney General Chris Koster filed lawsuits against ISI Alarms NC of North Carolina and JVersacio Corp, and its owner Joseph Versacio of Florida, in March after hundreds of consumers complained of receiving unwanted telemarketing calls attempting to sell home security products, OzarksFirst.com reports.
To solicit customers, ISI Alarm telemarketers claimed the FBI reported break-ins and burglaries in the consumers' neighborhoods, according to Koster.
This isn't the first time ISI Alarms has been in hot water for unsolicited calls. Last October, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper filed a similar lawsuit against ISI Alarms claiming that the firm made illegal robocalls to numbers listed on the Do Not Call Registry.
Meanwhile, JVersacio Corp., which operated as Central Security, made thousands of automated robocalls to numbers on Missouri's No-Call Registry to sell its security services. Residents say they continued to receive calls even after following instructions from removing themselves from further calls by pressing a specific number.
ISI Alarms has agreed to pay the state $10,000, while JVersacio will pay $7,500 in civil penalties. If either company violates the terms of their agreements, the court may impose penalties up to $100,000 apiece.

Look up DCP or HEAT by Genomyx
But nothing beats good ole ECA.
Is the real ECA stack still considered the best?
I've read up on OxyElite Pro and it seems legit and promising...
I also has an ex-girlfrien use Lipodrene w/ ephedra with good results about 5 years back
I'd like something that would help suppress appetite some and preserve muscle IF at all possible...
whats good???
Look up DCP or HEAT by Genomyx
But nothing beats good ole ECA.
I prefer the ECA stack myself. About to start on a bottle of Lipodrene!
Clen, ECA, NYC, Clenbutrx with E
used Clen before...just think its a little too much for me right now... thanks for all the replies, I looked into everything but I'm really thinking I'm going to give OxyElite Pro a shot. I read a lot of positive feedback with little negative. Probably going to try to stack it with Lean Xtreme throughout my pct.
If if doesn't increase your heart rate, it's just an expensive placebo.
As stated, clen and t3 are the best options.
placebo for what?
I wouldn't be taking it for fat loss but for the cortisol suppressing effects... The oxyelite is the stim in this equation
i had used somthing called firelaen a few years back, obviously my hard work and not the product made me lose the weight but it motivated me enough to run 5 miles almost everyday for 4 months straight. dropped 40lbs on it with HORRID dieting habits
not to thread jack but with the bronkaid i just take the pills? do they state on the box the mg of the E thats in there? Just regular caffine pills i assume, and for aspirin... somthng like Bayer? whats the point of the aspirin? any harm in throwing green tea pills in there?
when i bought my vita pak from gnc, they gaqve me a free 10 day oxyelite trial, i did dro some weight in the 10 days about 4 lbs


text: In my wifes 95 lx the meter fuse blew on saturday. I replaced it and drove it and it blew again. I figure that there is a short somewhere in the system so I removed the blown fuse and put a paper clip in to see if there were smoke where the short would be. To my surprise nothing. No smoke or burning rubber of a melting wire. So I put another fuse in it and took it for a drive. About five minutes of driving the fuse blew again. Im lost. The meter fuse is for the dash controls, turn signal, speed sensor. This is a 5sp 1.9 escort. Can anyone help me on this one. Thanks

As Day 5 of the €5,300 EPT Vienna Main Event got underway 17 players took their seat, each with their eye on the €816,000 first place prize. In only four and a half hours the final table was set.
Anthony Ghamrawi is the chip leader going into the final table with 5,150,000 chips but he can't rest easy as Frei Dilling and Pablo Gordillo are not far behind, each with over four million chips. Over the last couple of day Gordillo has played well and has run good. Earlier in the tournament, Gordillo was referred to as an "unknown" player. No matter where the Spaniard ends up, his days as an "unknown" have come to an end.
A great deal of chip leaders Ghamrawi's stack game as the result of a massive double up against eventual final table bubble boy Gavin O'Rourke when both players were all-in with O'Rourke's Queens behind Ghamrawi's Kings. In the tournament's largest pot yet, the Kings held up and O'Rourke became one of the short stacks. O'Rourke managed to hold on long enough to be the bubble and take home €60,800.
Gavin O'Rourke took his defeat in stride and looked on his EPT Vienna experience in a positive light.
Not to be this time.can't complain was a great experience.Tnx for the support.learned alot this week. #ontothenextone #EPTVienna
— Gavin O Rourke (@gavonater) March 28, 2014
Day 5 was very short for Mike Adamo as he was eliminated on the first hand of the day when he pushed his final 491,000 chips with Ace-7 from the cut-off and was met by a re-shove from Roman Korenev holding Ace-King. The better hand held up and Adamo made an early exit. Johnny Lodden quest for a third EPT final table fell short as he was eliminated in 15th place. Lodden, in what has become somewhat of a trend fell when his Ace-King could not improve against a pocket pair. The PokerStars Team Pro made the best of his early exit.
Now it almost feels good that I busted! #eptvienna #cognac #beers #sun #goodlife pic.twitter.com/zjAb8KI4ob
— Johnny Lodden (@johnnylodden) March 28, 2014
The other eliminations were mostly the result of big hand against big draw as the shorter stacks looked to double up.
Roman Korenev saw his tournament come to an end in two back-to-back hands, holding the same hand against the same player Ruman Nanev. Korenev's Ace-Queen failed to hold up against Nanev's Ace-10 and 10-10, sending Korenev home in 10th place.
O'Rourke's elimination came shortly afterwards at the hand so Frei Dilling and the final table was set.

Anthony Ghamrawi 5,150,000
Frei Dilling 4,230,000
Pablo Gordillo 4,075,000

More than 1,200 participants enjoyed the best atmosphere yet in the 6th annual Acorns Childrens Hospice Triple Run.
The Triple Run at the Three Counties Showground, in Malvern, Worcestershire, on Sunday (29th May) drew runners from the Midlands and London and even 38 crew members from aircraft carrier USS George H W Bush who heard of the run on the net, and came to support local life limited children.
The Chairman of Malvern Hills District Council, Coun Mike Soley, the newly elected Mayor of Worcester, Cllr Dr David Tibbutt, and Miss Worcester Verity Gwilliam welcomed runners. They handed out unique medals at the three-race Malvern half marathon, the 5km spring fun run and the 1km Chicken Run, a wheelchair friendly course designed specifically for people with disabilities or special needs.
Chris Price, chairman of the Triple Run Committee, said: Its one of the best atmospheres weve had: everyone stayed around and had picnics after their run, which was tough going for them because of the wind.
We had the most runners ever in our Chicken Run. Everyone said how much they enjoyed such an attractive course, and how the Half Marathon was well organized.
We give a huge thank you to the 220 volunteers who turned up, and the Triple Run Committee who worked from 6am to help make this such a success.
There was a bonus of good weather as supporters ran or walked the wonderful village routes of the Acorns Triple Run, beneath the iconic Malvern Hills.
Kerrie Davies, Acorns Events Manager, said: The Triple Run brought everyone together for the good of their local hospice.
From serious runners to people trying to get fit and parents some with local life limited children in wheelchairs – it includes all our community. They have made a real difference to Acorns families in helping us to reach our £35,000 target.
Acorns for the Three Counties in Worcester cares for over 170 children and their families, in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire or Herefordshire, and also parts of South Warwickshire.
Short breaks for children give them and their families a break from the daily routine, and offer a safe environment for the children to stay and enjoy many activities, such as the hydrotherapy pool and sensory room, not available at home.
It cost £750 per day for each childs care and Acorns relies on voluntary income for over 70% of its funding so events like the Triple Run are hugely important. We depend on the local community to get behind this event to make sure we can continue to be there for our families 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Kerrie Davies added.

Up until owning this car I've replaced the standard air filter with a K&N filter panel or K&N 57i induction kit. While owning my last Beemer I've come to learn that the oil they use to aid filtering can actually cause damage to the MAF. True? or maybe caused by over oiling?
I'm going to be replacing air filter soon and i'm not keen on killing my MAF so looking to try another induction kit or air filter.
Can anyone recommend a good replacement panel or is the OEM worth sticking to? Or if going down the route of replacing the whole air box has anyone got any advice on a good product or ones to avoid? Not looking to spend mega money on this either.

Marketing Materials That Make a Difference
It is a fact that starting a business creates a strain on your pocketbook. You start out
by having to watch every cent you spend and you learn to be selective in many
facets of setting up your office and in getting your business underway.
However, be cautious of what you are willing to settle for.
You may not need to purchase the most expensive desk organizer on the market to
house your sundries, but you should never be willing to skimp on highly important
marketing materials such as your business cards, brochures, and stationery
When a person comes in contact with your business card, letterhead, brochure, or
something as simple as an address label with your name on it, they immediately
establish an impression of your company.
This mere fact challenges me to make certain that all of my marketing products are
up to date and in tip-top shape! While you may not be able to afford "top of the
line," you can, in fact, see to it that you get the best quality for your money.
This entails knowing what to look for when shopping around for these valuable
marketing products, as well as what not to settle for.
With your business card being your calling card to your target audience, it provides
a good starting point wherein we can begin to build your marketing presentation
Designing your business card can be tricky because you have such a small amount
of space to work with to reach your audience. You may need to spend some time
thinking about exactly what components will be of benefit to you to include on the
Remember that its purpose is to introduce you and what you do. Therefore, do not
try to fill it with gobs of information that will cloud its purpose.

text: In our state, there is no justification for any private citizen to seize or use the property of a beekeeper, even if it is considered abandon. Doing so is a violation of the law and will subject that person to criminal prosecution. There is legal recognition that an agreement exists between the beekeeper and the landowner (verbal or otherwise) and it also appears that this agreement by default has limited survival when the land ownership changes. Unless you have it in writing, the fact that the land owner or his heirs/assigns has lost contact with the beekeeper does not give them the right to appropriate his property. Absent any written agreement to the contrary, their single avenue of recourse lies with the Office of the Chief Apiary Inspector. Our laws contain fairly strong protection of chattel property rights at least as far as beekeepers are concerned.

Note from the blog manager: Intel was named for the ninth time to Working Mother Magazine's best companies list. Companies were selected based on an extensive application with more than 650 questions on workforce representation, childcare, flexibility programs, leave policies and more. It also surveys the usage, availability and tracking of programs, as well as the accountability of managers who oversee them. Hear from some of the working moms that have used our family-friendly programs
Guest Blogger: Elizabeth Crupe from Intel's Internal Employee Communications Team
Today Working Mother magazine released its annual 'Working Mother 100 Best Companies' list and for the ninth time, Intel is honored.
"Making the list is a strong affirmation that we are doing the right things," says Dana, Corporate Work/Life Programs Manager. "We are proud of our work/life efforts that help working moms—and all employees—achieve success on and off the job." We remain committed to making Intel a great place to work by providing work/life solutions, career development opportunities, and health and well-being programs.
Ease back into work with new parent reintegration
For women returning from maternity leave, there is the "New Parent Reintegration" (NPR) program. This program allows employees to temporarily modify their work schedule for a defined period of time after returning to work.
Roxanne, a quality reliability engineer at Fab 32 , used the new parent reintegration program after the birth of her son in 2009. "After returning from maternity leave, I was able to gradually increase my work schedule from 20 hours to 32 hours and back up to 40 hours". Her manager at the time, Doyle, was able to redistribute her work to make the program work. "I am glad Intel has a program like this and pleased that with the support of coworkers, we were able to accommodate Roxanne's reintegration."
Backup childcare when you need it
We offer a range of childcare solutions to meet the changing needs of parents from priority enrollment at local childcare centers to emergency backup childcare to a family childcare network. Backup childcare is a widely used program.
Ellen, a communications specialist at the Folsom site, uses backup care. "When my mother-in-law was ill with cancer and my husband had to be by her side, we used back up care several times. I was able to go to the office and he was able to take her to the hospital for treatment."
Resources available for parents of special needs children
Intel supports employees who have a child or other dependent with special needs by providing a special needs resource site.
Tricia, a program manager at the Folsom site has three young children. One has exceptional medical and developmental needs. In 2009, McCue started the Folsom Caregiver support group. The group is dedicated to helping those in need of information on care giving, whether it is for a child with special needs, a disabled loved one, or help with an elderly parent or relative. "These are situations no one asks to be put in and connecting with professional resources or other employees along a similar journey can be essential to your well being," says Tricia.
Exploring career opportunities
Parents have ever-changing priorities, but focusing time on your family doesn't mean that your career opportunities need to be put on hold. Intel's career development model, which emphasizes on-the-job training, provides the best opportunity to expand career horizons and gain new experiences and job skills through temporary assignments in other departments, team projects, and formal job rotations.
Liz, a benefits design manager in Compensation & Benefits and mother of one, expanded her horizons by completing not one, but two rotations in the last year.
"My rotations turned out to be one of the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding activities I've done at Intel. My HR knowledge and abilities grew exponentially and I ended each rotation feeling exceptionally proud of everything I accomplished."
These are just a sampling of the programs that Intel offers for Work/Life effectiveness. Whatever your life situation is, Intel offers a range of options to help.

An 8-year-old Northland boy has caught a monster marlin 10 times his own weight, missing out on a new world record by a mere 6kg.
Hunter Scott, of Kerikeri, caught the 250.8kg black marlin near the Hole in the Rock on Saturday. It took the 25kg boy three-and-a-half hours to haul it in.
"It felt good to get it to the boat. And I felt happy the fight was over and I didn't give up ... in the last 15 minutes I felt like I was going to die," he said.
Hunter said he hooked the marlin himself and brought it in, with help only to gaff it and get it on the boat.
His catch was a clear winner of the juniors tournament staged by the Bay of Islands Swordfish Club last weekend and contested by about 100 young anglers from Tutukaka north.
It was his second marlin - the first was a 133.4kg striped marlin caught last year - and just 6kg off a world record in the small-fry class, he said.
The Riverview School pupil, who had been fishing since he was two, caught the marlin from his grandfather Keith Scott's boat Odyssey.
Proud dad Adam Scott said Saturday's fishing started slowly so at 2.30pm they decided to make their way back towards Cape Brett.
"Then just outside the area known as Queens Buoy our plans changed. A swirl behind the lure and it was gone, Hunter grabbed the rod, hopped in the chair, pushed the drag up and the fish took to the air," Mr Scott said. "At that point we all felt a little hollow inside, we knew it was a decent black and looking at the little frame in the chair our chances were slim. We agreed not to tell him what it was at first, we didn't want to freak him out."
After a three-hour battle the young angler hit crisis point, exhausted and in tears. Running out of ideas to keep him going Mr Scott got Hunter's mum on the phone.
"I don't know what she said to him but he had a new lease of life. Ten minutes after the call the swivel broke the surface and at full reach I could finally get a wrap," he said.

The 52-year old will leave his President of Operations role with Kansas to work under Fred Hoiberg at Iowa State University. Iowa State has gone to back-to-back NCAA tournaments and averaged nearly 80 points per game in 2012-13.
"I am excited to work at a program like Iowa State and for a coach like Fred Hoiberg, who has quickly become recognized as one of the best coaches in the nation" Sadler said in a release by the school. "Having coached in the Big 12, I know how important home court advantage is and Hilton Coliseum is one of the best."
In six seasons with Nebraska, Sadler had a 101-89 overall record, leading the Huskers to three NIT appearances.
"I am thrilled that Coach Sadler will be joining the Iowa State family," Hoiberg said. "Doc brings a wealth of experience to our staff and is respected in the profession.

The Destination
The remonstrations of classic rock crooners aside, one could get used to getting "stuck in old Lodi" these days. Once a sleepy agricultural outpost, today, Lodi represents the full bounty of Northern California. Whether you're sipping on zinfandel as the sun sets over one of the area's 100,000 acres of vineyards, sampling fresh-out-of-the-ground produce at a local farmer's market, or enjoying the breeze off the Mokelumne River on a walk through historic downtown, you'll get the sense that Lodi never strayed far from its roots.
The Digs
Purchased with a sack of gold coins over a century ago, the five-acre estate that houses Wine & Roses features manicured gardens and an outdoor pool area amid rolling farmland. An 8,000-square-foot Victorian house and annex contain 79 rooms, each with upscale furnishings, wireless Internet, and cable TV. The eco-friendy day spa gives you a reason to hang around the grounds, while an on-site farm-to-table restaurant provides the ideal way to unwind after days spent exploring. And if you like wine, the adjoining Lodi Wine & Visitor Center conveniently has you covered.

The new Visitor Center opened on June 14, 2014.
On March 4, 2013, the City Council approved the contract for the Bellevue Botanical Garden's new Education Center and Visitor center - view information sheet and construction FAQs.
The building's design defers to nature, blurring the boundaries between architecture and the gardens, while creating spaces that allow the institution to meet its varied goals. The scope of improvements includes new construction, renovation and site work:
The Bellevue Botanical Garden Master Plan identifies new garden development to enhance visitor experience and access throughout the Garden. The Garden has an opportunity to move forward on long-term planning in part as a result of the 2008 Parks Levy, which provides support for this project. The Bellevue Botanical Garden Society (BBGS) has launched its Growing a Living Legacy campaign to raise $5 million in private funding toward the $11 million goal.
To date the campaign has secured 100 percent participation of the BBGS Board and has begun to receive funding from individuals in the community. Discussions are underway with a number of foundations and corporations that have provided past support for the Garden. As of Aug. 1, 2011, the BBGS has raised $1.5 million.

On the way into Coober Pedy you drive past the "dog fence", which is the only fence of its kind in the world, designed to keep a certain wild animal out of most of the state of South Australia. It is hard to see it you are not looking for it, it pretty much looks just like a cow fence except higher and dog proof, hence the name! You also get to see all of the little or big piles of dirt from the tunnels and mines that people have dug looking for opal, they are everywhere and the whole town is pretty much fenced off so you don't go wandering around and fall in, pretty neat.
We were going to stay in an underground house, but there are $100.00 per night for the cheapest one. We looked inside them and really there are just hotel rooms with no windows! Instead decieded to do a tour of the 'old timers' mine (and stay above ground at a caravan park). It was sensational! You really get a glimps of what it must have been like to discover opal and the hard work that it takes. WOW.
We had pizza for the first time in Australia and it was wonderful, especially since it is freezing here at night and we are not really thinking about cooking at all outside. Appearently it gets to be 50C in the summer, not a place you want to hang out just for the fun of it!!

Football Set for Brigham Young in Poinsettia Bowl
Dec. 15, 2012
SDSU Poinsettia Bowl Notes vs. Brigham Young
Aztec Football Set for Brigham Young in 2012 Poinsettia Bowl
Having secured its first conference championship since 1998, San Diego State will play in a bowl game for an unprecedented third consecutive year when it faces long-time rival Brigham Young in the 2012 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl on Thursday, Dec. 20 at Qualcomm Stadium.
The Aztecs, who make their second appearance in the bowl game in the last three seasons, carry a seven-game winning streak into the contest. It is tied for the fourth-longest active win streak in the nation, is the longest SDSU winning streak since a similar streak from Nov. 15, 1980-Oct. 10, 1981 and is the longest win streak contained in a single-season since 1977. San Diego State's last loss came on Sept. 29 (82 days ago on game day).
The Aztecs put their finishing touches on their share of the Mountain West title by winning at Wyoming, 42-28, on Nov. 24.
SDSU, which was picked to finish fifth in the Mountain West preseason poll after losing four players to the NFL Draft, were well represented on the all-conference team selected earlier this month. Head coach Rocky Long, the all-time winningest coach in league history, was named conference coach of the year for the second time in his career. Senior offensive guard Nik Embernate, junior tight end Gavin Escobar and senior cornerback Leon McFadden earned first-team all-league honors. Junior safety Nat Berhe, sophomore linebacker Jake Fely, senior center Alec Johnson and sophomore running back Adam Muema each garnered second-team accolades. Sophomore linebacker Derek Largent, junior offensive tackle Bryce Quigley and sophomore defensive tackle Sam Meredith earned honorable mention honors.
This is the 11th all-time bowl game for the program and the seventh since moving to the Division I ranks prior to the 1969 season. As previously mentioned, this is the first time in its 90-season history that San Diego State has advanced to a bowl game in three consecutive seasons.

One of the best parts of Taste of Soul Sunday, I've heard, is the Taste part. Soul Food is integral to African-American culture and in that vein, some of the most popular African-American restaurants will be offering up nibbles and tastes of their culinary fare at Taste of Soul Sunday.
Chez Olga
I've never dined at this restaurant or eaten a lot of Creole or Caribbean food, which is all the more reason for me to be excited about experiencing my first taste at TOSS on Sunday, February 20. The restaurant is located at 1441 Wealthy in East Town, serving unique and spicy creole fare for lunch and dinner.
At this point Southern Fish Fry is pretty much a Grand Rapids institution. I have dined there many times before, starting in my teens when they opened their location on Madison. They feature classic, all-American soul food. Fried fish, as their name implies, but also staples like collard greens, corn bread and barbecue rib tips.
I've been to LoLo's many times because my mom used to live near their restaurant at Kalamazoo Ave & 44th St. When we went to her house, my niece and I would stop and I'd get their fried catfish fillet and candied yams and she'd have fried perch or chicken wings and macaroni and cheese. We never left unsatisfied!
And just think, you get to nibble and taste some of their best dishes for free at Taste of Soul Sunday on February 20 from 1-5pm in the library. As if you needed another reason to attend. See you there!

Yes, the swimsuit has been revealed.
Namco Bandai previously hinted that Tales of Xillia was on track to see the number of pre-orders for the series itself. Now, Tales series producer Makoto Yoshizumi has confirmed it via Twitter. Just two weeks ( yes, two weeks only! ) ahead of release, and Tales of Xillia is officially the most pre-ordered Tales game ever for PS3.
Though Yoshizumi did not mention the amount of pre-orders the game received, we know that in July, the game had already topped 80,000 number of pre-orders! Imagine how much higher it is now from July! Retailer promotion materials from Namco Bandai listed an expectation of 200,000 pre-orders, which is significantly higher than the number of pre-orders for Tales of Vesperia which had a 140,000 expectation.
With 200,000 pre-orders of the game, it would already have sold near the equivalent of the Xbox 360 version of Tales of Vesperia and half that of the PS3 version. Tales of Xillia is due for release on September 8.
On top of that, Namco Bandai has also released the swimsuits, which will most likely increase the number of pre-orders. I wonder, how many pre-orders will there be for Tales of Xillia?

Call attention with color.
Painting built-ins a beachy shade that's different from the wall color makes them—and their contents—pop. Sandy taupe is a versatile choice, while an inky blue makes a bold statment. If you don't want to commit to a color for the whole shelf, warm turquoise on just the backs showcases your items beautifully.

Collisions, ill-timed power failures, near misses and fires are among more than 50 dodgy incidents involving ships around our coasts over the past year.
The grounding of the 177m-long Singaporean cargo ship Lake Triview on a reef off the coast of New Plymouth in May also features among the cases released to the Green Party by the office of Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee.
The ship's master, Filipino 63-year-old Rolando Valmeo Legaspi, was prosecuted last month for not reporting the five-minute grounding until five days after it happened.
While no oil was leaked, Maritime New Zealand said the incident posed a threat to the ship's 21 crew and could have caused a "serious impact" on the environment.
In other incidents, temporary power failures led a container ship to "possible contact" with sand at the edge of the channel at Port Chalmers in April, and a bulk carrier to lose steering while leaving the Port of Tauranga last July, sending it veering toward the Mount.
Two shackles were dropped from its port anchor, before its engine restarted a few minutes later and it carried on out of the harbour.
And in February, a pilot at the port was unaware divers were working in the water on one docked container ship as another was about to arrive.
The approaching ship was stopped in stream after linesmen alerted the pilot to the divers, who were asked to clear the water.
Last year, the Herald reported 13 serious "near miss" incidents since the 2011 grounding and oil spill of the MV Rena - one of which nearly led to a grounding at the Wellington Harbour entrance after a cadet mistakenly plotted a cargo ship's approach course.
Green Party oceans spokesperson Gareth Hughes said the near-miss incidents highlighted the need for compulsory shipping lanes.
"The Government has downplayed the risk of further accidents like the Rena and hasn't focused on how to make coastal shipping safer," he said.
"With the number of near misses since the Rena, it appears the Government is relying on luck, rather than good regulation, to keep us safe from cargo ship crashes."
In other serious cases reported, a digger working in the hold of a ship caught fire while it was moving fertiliser and a piece of crane block missed a stevedore when it fell into another ship's hold.
Two crewmen had separate near misses - one falling between a ship and the wharf after missing a jump, the other slipping on logs and tumbling into the harbour.
The most recent Maritime New Zealand figures showed the number of accidents on large international vessels had gradually risen from just over 40 in 2009/10 to more than 70 in 2012/13, despite the number of port calls and voyages in our coastal waters remaining relatively stable over the last three years.
However, an MNZ spokesperson said there was no cause for alarm.
"Taking into account improved incident reporting, we have not in general noted any increased deliberate non-compliance with the rules.
"Any increase is more likely to reflect changes in reporting."
In the past financial year, Maritime New Zealand undertook 10 prosecutions, compared with seven, 16 and seven in the respective preceding years.

Prepare for your next party with Cheese Hors d'Oeuvres by Hallie Harron, with recipes like Caramelized Onion, Cambozola, and Pear Galette; Mini Stilton Palmiers; and Verrine of Goat Cheese and Fruit.
Serves 8
Verrines are all the rage in Paris these days. Read it as "terrine with a twist." In the windows of Fauchon, Paris's specialty food shop, you'll find small glasses with all kinds of treats inside. I loved a gorgeous one filled with layers of goat cheese and lots of berries. Serve with a flute of Prosecco or a sweet Moscato.
Place the cheese and honey in a medium-size bowl and beat with a hand mixer into a fluffy mixture. Spoon a layer of cheese into 8 small wine or cocktail glasses or large shot glasses, top with a berry layer, then finish with a cheese layer. Top each glass with a mint sprig. Serve with tea biscuits.

text: Here's a quick update for u guys. Spent the last 6 days out in the mountains of Washington State, rucked more than 20 km during that time, with a 60 lb ruck, up and down the steep mountainsides. In one of our 1 km legs of one of our marches, we made the 1 klick march in 30 min, against a hard uphill.

The three-fold purpose of this mixed methods study was to (a) analyze how preservice teachers' perceptions of teacher preparation program variables affect preservice teachers self-efficacy for literacy instruction, (b) determine how preservice teachers describe their teacher preparation program with regard to self-efficacy beliefs for teaching literacy, and (c) contribute to the construct validity and reliability of the Teacher Sense of Efficacy for Literacy Instruction Scale (TSELI). Quantitative data were collected using a 122-item, online Likert-type survey from a sample of 120 preservice elementary and early childhood education teachers completing their final year of university teacher preparation.
This study utilized a mixed methods approach designed to enhance understanding of quantitative analyses results through follow-up collection of qualitative data. Priority was given to quantitative data analyses, which consisted of descriptive statistics, Pearson's product moment correlation, multiple regression analyses and factor analyses. Respondents representing above and below average scores for the Teacher Sense of Efficacy for Literacy Instruction Scale (TSELI) participated in a follow-up, semi-structured telephone interview with the primary investigator.
Objective and subjective data were integrated for broader interpretation of results explaining variance in the TSELI. Two predictor variables (perceived sense of efficacy for literacy instruction of a university professor and nature of literacy methods courses) were statistically significant predictors, accounting for 37% of the variance on the criterion variable (TSELI). As an ancillary focus, the factor structure for the 22-item Teacher Sense of Efficacy for Literacy Instruction Scale (TSELI) was examined by conducting principal axis factor analyses procedures similar to those utilized in Tschannen-Moran and Johnson's (2011) study. Results were consistent with a one-factor solution, with that factor explaining 46.59% of the variance in TSELI.
Given literacy is the basis for all instruction and central to elementary education, teacher preparation programs must begin to examine factors which contribute to the development of literacy instruction self-efficacy for improvements in nationwide literacy skills to be realized. This study contributes to the existing research regarding which characteristics of teacher preparation programs greatly influence elementary and early childhood education preservice teachers' sense of self-efficacy for literacy instruction.

Edward Lear: Not Just Nonsense, But Parrots
Around here, we're familiar with the work of Edward Lear, but mostly in terms of his fantastic limericks and nonsense poetry.
Turns out, there was much more to the man than silliness and a gift for rhyme. When he was 20 years old (yes, twenty – I am old and useless, please take me out back and shoot me dead) he successfully had a book published. The book was Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots, a natural history book about parrots that Lear wrote and illustrated, published in 1832, and is still considered one of the finest pieces of ornithology ever produced (more beautiful, collectible old birds books to peruse here). Apparently, his works influenced the likes of future bird enthusiasts such as John James Audubon.
Lear was only 18 when he landed a spot as a draughtsman at London's Zoological Society, where he immediately set about sketching, categorizing and planning for a book about the parrot family.
Be sure to peruse this BibliOdyssey post to see some of the breathtakingly beautiful color plats of the birds Lear drew so painstakingly.
