Learn how technology and social media can help increase your audience reach and engagement. Communication can: ◦ Increase knowledge and awareness of problems. ◦ Influence and reinforce perceptions, beliefs, attitudes and norms. ◦ Prompt action. Communication cannot: ◦ Compensate for inadequate or inaccessible services. ◦ Produce sustained change in absence of parallel changes in services, technology, and policy.

Most health risk messages are based on fear appeals ◦ Afraid of getting hurt, getting a disease, or dying Use of theory saves time and money because there is less trial and error. Theoretically based campaigns are more likely to succeed than those developed from inspiration alone.

We stayed in this home 7 nights for a Washington DC family vacation. My husband attended a conference daily at National Harbor, so he commuted into
DC every morning via metro. The home is a quick 15 min car ride from the metro stop. The kids and I took the metro into DC and it was super easy. We also visited Hershey PA which was just a short 2 hour car ride north and well worth the trip!
The home fit us and our 12 children very comfortably! The kids loved the movie room, and would fold out the couch beds every night and watch movies after long days of touring. Wande was amazing to work with. She made sure we had everything we needed, and she was extremely kind and helpful! We loved staying in this amazingly decorated home!
I stayed in this clean and beautifully decorated property for a week and it was a delight.
We were first impressed by the customer service of the host. Then we got pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness, neighborhood, attention to details and great amenities.
We enjoyed every second of our stay and really felt home away from home.
We highly recommend this property to any traveler who's willing to pay the price for a great vacation home.
1. Wande was friendly but the person who let us in did not know much if anything about the house.
2. Conveniently located near major roads/freeways.
3. Sufficient parking for 3 vehicles.
4. Place was clean.
1. There is no swimming pool. Listing states "Communal Pool" and the contract states "Children must be supervised at ALL TIMES while in the pool area. Glass is NOT permitted in the pool area". But there is NO POOL. This misrepresentation was significant as we had six kids who were baking in the DC heat who expected to have a pool.
2. The kitchen was not accurately portrayed. It was not " fully furnished". There were not enough flatware or utensils for our group of 12. The pots and pans were inadequate for cooking anything more than scramble eggs. The photos are not accurate.
3. Sleeping arrangements were poor. In addition the 4 beds, there were inflatable mattresses, which is good. However, each inflatable mattress leaked air, and none stayed inflated through the night. The photos are not accurate.
We spent a weekend at this vacation house and it was very impressive. The backyard, patio seating is a perfect setting to spend time together and Wande (property manager) made sure we had everything we needed.
the kitchen is stocked to the brim with more utensils than one needs and the movie theater is an added plus. Definitely recommend this place for a nice family get together.
The house was more than what I have wished for! Me and nine of my friends stayed over to hang around for the Naval Academy Ring Dance weekend and we had a blast. The house was very clean and very spacious. The owners were very helpful and very friendly. I highly recommend staying at this house.
It was so fabulous and above my expectations I did have a wonderful and amazing stay and i Will strongly recommend for a quiet and paceful holiday

From the ashesMature
In response to the attack on them in her safe-house, Gwen downed her glass of wine in a few eager gulps. She had a lit cigarette pinched between two fingers and every twenty or thirty seconds she would bring it up to her lips, take a long, hard drag, and lower her hand back down to the counter top behind her. Tendrils of smoke curled out from between her mauve lips, catching on the air current and floating away. He watched in quiet turmoil, unable to find a reason to look away. They had something between them that was almost alive, almost tangible. He sipped at the wine in his glass, hunting down the elusive method of opening a dialog about things he had no words for.
She was visibly shaken; he wondered whether it was because of the attack or their strangely coordinated execution. He could not recall many instances that had been able to send a tremble through her hand. He refilled her glass while she lost herself in the darkening sky and the constellations that formed far above their heads. Time passed, comfortably - if in utter silence - as she drank the wine and mulled over whatever burdens haunted her cerise irises.
Archer moved to the couch, letting himself sink into the pool of his own thoughts while the fire growled across from him. He hadn't been expecting to find himself in a quaint cabin nestled into the side of a mountain. He had been expecting another night in the rain.
She said, "Do you think the stories are true?"
"I don't know," he answered. "Does it change anything if they aren't?"
She paused, chewing over his words. What a mystery the inter-workings of her mind were to him; the gears and cogs and wheels turned in patterns he struggled to follow. Some time ago she'd forgotten the wine entirely and what remained of her second glass glimmered faintly, casting crimson beams of light upon the counter. The chandelier hanging above them buzzed with the glow of a small cluster of stars hanging from the ceiling.
She asked, "Do you want to risk staying the night here?"
"I can stay or go. Consider the choice yours."
She frowned and even without being able to see her face, he knew the downward curve of her mouth. It was this cabin that she liked; not the terrain or the climate or the people. It was the cabin and the cabin alone. She had done what so few were brave enough to do – build a home for herself. To give herself stationary coordinates, a place of rest and sometimes retreat. Her silence was bloated with sadness.
Outside, thunder rumbled loudly in the eternal sky. Archer said, even though he knew – they both knew – that it was an enormous risk, "You know, maybe we should just stay."
Whether or not she warred with herself to accept the offer he would never know. Instead, she came to sit on the couch beside him. She propped her feet up casually on the oak coffee table, taking great pleasure in the softness of the cushions and the alignment of her limbs. Her previously forgotten glass of wine once again in her hand, she raised her burgundy eyes to him and said, "So what have you been getting into since we last saw each other?"
He smiled and told her of the trivial things; the way the sun played in the grass, and how he'd been learning to decipher the stars. She did not complain about his stories. She let them wash over her and she nestled further into the fabric of the couch, the strain in her posture leaking away as he spoke. Others had no interest in his tales – they slipped in between his sentences and hijacked the conversation, twisting it back to the gore of battle and the impending triumph of light over darkness.
Others had different ideas of what the world had become: a playground, a simulated strategy game, a throw-away dimension – anything they could easily wipe off their hands. Archer chose not to ignore the blood on his hands, on the hands of them all, angel and demon alike.
The Ancient One had stopped giving his warriors their Blessed Hours. There was no other conclusion than that all angelics had fallen as far as man. They were not His glory or his pride any longer. They were no longer untainted.
And they would none earn back their wings.
When he was done and his glass was as empty as hers, she sighed and rolled her head back to stare up at the chandelier. There was a lot between them going unsaid, and the pressure behind it all was starting to build. Every glance was haunted with a hundred other thoughts, every sigh burdened with lifetimes of distance and pain. She was colder than she used to be and the longer the night went on, the harder it was for him to ignore it.
Beyond the windows, the torrential rain pummeled the earth. It was just another complication for the morning.
They spent the rest of the evening in equal parts silence and jovial chatter. He did not ask about the scar along the ridge of her collar bone, and she did not ask about the stilted discomfort that snuck into his eyes every once in a while.
With the early morning light leaking in from between the lace curtains and the low rumble of her snoring slowly rousing him, Archer woke up on the couch with Gwen tucked cozily into the bend of his arm. Automatically, his muscles stiffened; she was too close, when had she gotten so close? His brain had been reduced to his fight – or – flight instincts and he wanted to flee, to leap across the room and let her wake up alone.
But she stirred and stretched her arms out over her head as she sat up, groaning with the ache of morning. Without seeming to notice their proximity, she left the couch and made her way into the kitchen. Within a few moments, he could smell coffee wafting out into the living room. There was a lot to be done, but he did not bother her; he understood what she was about to give up and a part of him felt for her. It was no small thing to accomplish a successful residence in the world they inhabited, and she'd done so for a number of years. Neither was it a small thing to part with such a place.
They drank coffee in the easy comfort of a somber quiet on the deck, watching the mist disperse as the sun crested the horizon. Dew hung heavy on the grass and the leaves of nearby oak and pine trees; the soil was dark and the scent of it caught on the wind. The coffee was black and bitter on his tongue.
They had to use an unspeakable amount of kindling to get the fire started. With every layer and subsequent re-scouring of the house for supplies, Gwen became more sullen. Before they made much progress, Archer conceived of a small idea to help ease her loss. While she dug around in the attic for kindling, he tore her claw-footed tub from the floor in the bathroom and brought it outside; quickly, he filled a number of buckets with water and saved a few of her toiletries from the soon-to-be-carnage. Absorbed in the event looming ahead and dragging on, seemingly just to prolong her suffering, she paid no mind to the transplanted tub. It was high noon by the time they really got it burning, and they were both covered in soot, their fingers punctured with hundreds of little splinters.
Leaning against the BMW, dirty and sweaty and already feeling drained, they watched the flames stretch skyward. The smoke was black and thick and smelled like rotting wood and injustice. He let her have the silence of destruction, and she witnessed her home burn without a single sound except the roar of the flames and the occasional fiery collapse of the structure.
When she could see the tub through the smoke, he said, "Why don't you get cleaned up and we'll hit the road? I'll drive, if you'd like."

A Thousand Points of Blight
Director Gregory Greene and the crew of The End of Suburbia spend 78 minutes explaining, in documentary detail, how the economic crisis has slammed the lid on the American dream. In a shorter amount of time, you could drive to Power Road in Mesa, or other outlying areas such as Queen Creek or Avondale, and see the process unfolding before your eyes. Its blight before its time: big-box skeletons, graffiti limbo, boulevards of broken retail dreams.
Many factors have contributed to the local rot, and theyd make for an intriguing movie in themselves, but the main culprit of Greenes thought-provoking flick is the so-called world oil peak the critical point when fossil-fuel demand outstrips supply. Greene posits that were nearly there, and explores what that might mean for all those shiny, happy people with the matching SUVs and kids living in ghost towns-to-be.

How to use FLUENT to simulate UV radiation?
I came across these two write-ups about the capabilites of FLUENT to do actual UV radiation simulation. http://www.fluent.com/about/news/new.../99v8i1/a4.htm http://www.fluent.com/about/news/new...1v10i2/a17.htm
A third article provided a little extra light on how this may be done. http://www.stevenspublishing.com/Ste...0?OpenDocument
I am interested to find out more on the exact steps on how to achieve such a simulation. Can anyone offer me further sources to read up or examples relevant? Thanks in advance!

The perception of the Cheltenham Festival as an equine battle between Britain and Ireland ignores its other international dimension: the disdain that both sets of racing fans reserve for the French.
This afternoon's Stayers' Hurdle, the elite Grade One contest for top-class three-mile hurdle racers, promises to be one of the most exciting events of the meeting. Limestone Lad, the most popular horse in Ireland, will take on last year's winner Baracouda, trained at Chantilly by the oh-so-suave François Doumen and ridden by his son Thierry. The latter pair would not be popular victors.
The French scored a memorable victory 12 months ago, narrowly outpointing the heavily backed Irish challenger Bannow Bay. It was not the first Cheltenham triumph for the Doumens either. They teamed up to win the 2000 Triumph Hurdle with Snow Drop and François won the 1994 Cheltenham Gold Cup with The Fellow.
Yet in spite of the family's record most "rosbif" punters have little faith in Doumen junior's riding abilities, perceiving him to be an arrogant lightweight regularly out-gunned by such as Norman Williamson, Barry Geraghty and Tony McCoy.
Thierry was in action on Foreman, also trained by his father, in the SunAlliance Hurdle yesterday. As the runners came on to the course one punter looking down from a box seemed incensed by Doumen's overly manicured appearance. "Look at him," he thundered. "You'd think he was riding in the Grand Steeplechase de Paris in 1933."
It is not clear exactly what is so annoying about harking back to the well turned out look of yesteryear. Maybe British racing fans still harbour unkind memories of French Flat racing jockeys like the soigné Freddie Head. His failures not only to win the Derby in the 1970s but also to master the unique contours of Epsom Downs led to taunts that, if he rode there again, the Romanies in their nearby caravans would be asking for danger money.
The modern prejudices are not confined to Doumen. His compatriot Jacques Ricou finished runner-up on Jair Du Cochet in the SunAlliance Chase yesterday but left most observers unimpressed that he had manoeuvred the horse into a poor position when the pace quickened.
The critics seem to feel that French elegance in the saddle - at least before the race begins - is not matched by strength in a finish or how to present a horse at a fence. If Tony McCoy or Lester Piggott displayed such insouciance it would be acceptable, the inference goes. In these French jockeys it is simply not matched by skill.
Prior to Jair Du Cochet's Festival appearance the charmingly mischievous jockey Williamson joked that he would "like to lock old Jacques in a room for 20 minutes while the race is on". The notion was that Williamson or Ruby Walsh or Geraghty, natural horsemen all, would have sorted out Jair Du Cochet or Baracouda and given them the assistance necessary to turn second places into profits.
Indeed a spread betting firm ran a market on how often Ricou would "call a cab" or fling his arm up in the air to keep his balance when negotiating a fence. The suggestion was that he would summon a taxi between five and six times. In the end he made the ungainly gesture only twice, so punters who doubted his ability were left out of pocket.
Perhaps it will be a similar story today. Twelve months ago Baracouda's owner JP McManus was rumoured to have backed Bannow Bay, ridden by his favourite jockey Charlie Swan, due to lack of confidence in the pilot of his own horse. Doumen had the last laugh then and the Irish trainer Edward O'Grady believes that, if he keeps his nerve and ignores his most chauvinistic critics, it could be the same again.
"All he has to do is remember that he's riding the best horse in the race," says O'Grady. Perhaps that is precisely the burden that is worrying him.

You Can't Take It With You Parent Review
Movie Review
What happens when a man of good family and great wealth falls in love with a nobody that has nothing? Major objections result – that's what.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
And so it is for Tony Kirby's (Jimmy Stewart), son of business tycoon Anthony B. Kirby (Edward Arnold) who is on the brink of the most lucrative deal of his career. (Kirby Sr. just needs one ornery holdout to agree to sell his property). Yet despite the prospect of enormous profits, Tony Jr. is more interested in in his new secretary Alice Sycamore (Jean Arthur) than on being the vise president of Dad's growing company.
Alice, on the other hand, is afraid their differences in social status might present a barrier to a possible future together, so she suggests Tony bring his parents to meet her relatives before the pair announces an engagement. Knowing just how eccentric her clan really can appear, Alice has reason to worry. The heart of her home is her grandfather, Martin Vanderhof (Lionel Barrymore) a strong proponent of perusing one's passions rather than the almighty dollar. Consequently, her mother (Spring Byington) is consumed by her hobbies of writing and painting. Still, those pursuits are far less alarming than her father's (Samuel S. Hinds) rocket building or her brother-in-law's (Dub Taylor) fetish for printing revolutionary brochures. Then there is her sister (Ann Miller) who fancies herself a ballerina, an intense Russian dance teacher (Mischa Auer), and a couple other regular guests with equally crazy pastimes. With these concerns in mind, Alice makes the household swear they will be on their best behavior when her important visitors arrive.
But Tony is confident in his ability to get whatever he wants from his doting parents. Certain their concessions will extend to being allowed to marry whomever he choses, he intentionally gives his folks the wrong date for the party to ensure they see his perspective in-laws in their true character.
When the snobbish Kirby's arrive for dinner a day ahead of schedule, they do indeed catch the Sycamore entourage unprepared. The bad situation gets progressively worse, offending Tony's priggish mother (Mary Forbes), and ruffling Alice's working-class pride. Tensions get even more explosive when Kirby Sr. learns that Grandpa Vanderhof is the man who has refused to sell his house to make room for his proposed factory.
Anyone familiar with Director Frank Capra's work will see his signature written all over this screenplay. Touting his favorite themes of the importance of friends over fortune and family over fame, the script reminds the greedy Anthony B. Kirby (and the audience too) that when it comes to monetary gains, we can't take it with us. The anti-materialistic message of this 1938 movie played very well to its depression-era audience, and won the film two Oscars (Best Picture and Best Director).
Today's viewers may be a little more critical of the production – especially those who are more familiar with another of Capra's classics, It's a Wonderful Life. Similarities between the two are plentiful. Many of the same cast members appear in both, and each features a scene where donations from average people saves the penniless protagonists from a heartless bigwig. Sadly, the over-the-top antics of Alice's family and the unrealistic notion that work or pay the tax man are optional activities, pushes the plot into the realm of fantasy and robs believability from some of its well-meaning messages. Despite these flaws, one thing remains true even after all the years since the movie's theatrical début: investing in strong relationships always pays off far better than chasing financial security. (And no one can object to that!)Directed by Frank Capra. Starring Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Lionel Barrymore. Running time: 126 minutes. Theatrical release November 3, 1938. Updated December 7, 2015

How do you feel about Mr. Vanderhof's advice about spending time in the pursuit of your passions? What are some of the benefits of this philosophy? What are some of possible pitfalls? How do you try to balance work and play in your life?

Quiet Desperation
AN: This story in mainly being completed – finally – because of Andaere who gave me a kick in the butt to get it finished. Thanks! Hope you like the conclusion.Part Three
It's the day Sawyer has been dreading. He can't find a pulse.
For a moment, his mind goes blank. He's drunker than he has been in a while and Charlie doesn't have a pulse. How long was he out anyway? How long has Charlie been slumped on the couch, amongst the decay of their half-hearted attempt at normal life, going cold and blue, his head lolled forwards on his chest, too-long hair hiding his face in shadows?
Charlie doesn't have a pulse.
Sawyer doesn't remember calling an ambulance. He remembers yelling, shaking Charlie helplessly and probably too roughly. Shouldn't shake corpses, he thinks to himself as Charlie flops, boneless.
He knows that, by the time the paramedics arrive, Charlie's on the ground, amidst the rubbish, and he's trying to pound life back into him. He can't bring colour back to Charlie's face though, and he can't get Charlie to breath for himself. Kid must've used up his nine lives.
Charlie doesn't have a pulse.
When did he decide he liked the stupid little junkie anyway? He doesn't know, but he knows that he needs Charlie to breathe, because they're meant to be in this together, and, even if they're not exactly friends, there's no damn way that Charlie's allowed to bow out early.
It's a relief when Sawyer finds himself shoved aside, even if he curses and fights to get back to Charlie. He doesn't listen to the paramedics. They're not talking to him anyway. No one ever talks to him, apart from Charlie and Charlie doesn't have a pulse anymore. Maybe no one will ever talk to him again. Maybe that's just fucking fine.
Then he hears Charlie murmur Claire's name, breaking his own rule. Sawyer wonders if Claire's dead and now she's come to take Charlie away with her. He even looks around the room for her. He wants to tell her to go away.
The ambulance must be driving at twice the speed limit, sirens screeching, running red lights and dodging traffic. It makes Sawyer feel dizzy and nauseated, or maybe that's just the booze. He can't be sure. All he's sure of is that Charlie does have a pulse now, so the world's not ending. And he wants to kick himself for caring so much about the stupid kid. Sawyer doesn't care about anything. He doesn't care about getting trashed every day, all day, or bar fights, or passing out on the pavement. He doesn't care if he lives, maybe even hopes that he'll die, but apparently, he cares about Charlie.
Then they're at the hospital and, in a sickening blur of movement and yelling, Charlie's gone, rushed away through some doors, leaving Sawyer standing in his wake trying not to throw up. He doesn't remember making his way to the waiting area, just the relief in the knowledge that now he can at least sit down and try to get his head to stop spinning, try to stop thinking about anything except how much he needs a drink. Hospitals should have open bars.
But Sawyer doesn't sit or give himself time to think. He's at the pay phones and is listening to the ring before he's even realized what he's doing, and before he has time to consider hanging up, Jack answers.
"Sawyer, if this is another one of your drunken late night phone calls…"
Jack sounds weary, as if they've done this many times before. Funny, Sawyer can't remember ever ringing Jack.
"It's Charlie," Sawyer manages, and doesn't need to go any further. Apparently Jack knew that this day was coming too.
Sawyer knows that Jack doesn't think very highly of him, regardless of their common ground, having both left the same woman… but he calls him anyway, without thinking, because, on the Island, when there was an emergency, you called Jack. Well, everyone else did. Sawyer didn't, but he does now.
Sawyer knows that Jack holds him responsible for Charlie's downward spiral. A bad influence, and Sawyer has never bothered to clear up the confusion by explaining that Charlie was intent on destroying himself anyway. He'd been doing it long before Sawyer met him, long before the Island and Flight 815. Sawyer was simply going along for the ride. Misery loves company, right?
Sawyer snaps his head up, blinking. It takes him a moment to remember where he is, taking in the cold, sterile smell and harsh florescent lights.
Charlie. Charlie, who doesn't have a pulse because he shot himself full to bursting with a synthetic high, but he does have a pulse now and everything will be… okay isn't the right word, but why the hell did he call Jack again?
Jack is standing over him, his face set in a grim mask. Something about his look makes Sawyer want to panic.
"How long have I been asleep?" Christ, he feels sick. "Have you seen Charlie? Is he…?"
Sawyer trails off, not sure what he wants to ask or whether he wants to know the answer.
Jack sits down next to him, but with two seats between them, Sawyer notices. Jackass. Sawyer looks at the time. Nearly five am. He's been asleep almost two hours.
"Charlie's doing okay," Jack says, running a tired hand over his face. "He's sleeping."
Sawyer feels relief wash through him. Of course Charlie's okay. He's got more than nine lives. Charlie will live forever, or at least until Sawyer dies. They're in this together. "He allowed visitors?"
Jack frowns, "I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why not?" Sawyer demands, anger puffing out his chest. Jack and his stupid idea's. Isn't that what got them off the Island anyway? Ripped them away from…
Isn't this all just Jack's fault? May as well be 'cause it's gotta be someone's.
Jack raises his eyebrows. "Sawyer…"
Sawyer hates the way Jack manages to make his name sound like a swear word.
"You think this is my fault now?" He's on his feet, hands balled into fists, but Jack raises a hand to stop him.
"This isn't about you," he says, "This is about Charlie."
"Charlie will be fine," Sawyer says defensively, "I can handle it. When he gets home-"
"Charlie's not coming home."
Sawyer blinks, a fraction of panic resurfacing. "What do you mean?"
"I called his brother. He said he'll be on the first plane out. He's going to take Charlie back to Australia, get him into a rehab center."
Sawyer sinks back into his seat, speechless, repeatedly curling his hands into fists as if clutching for something that is no longer there. He feels suddenly cold and alone. There's no alcohol left to coat reality in a comforting haze.
"Charlie wont go."
Jack just shakes his head. "You should go home."
He's been dismissed. He walks the empty hospital halls until he finds an exit, then catches a taxi back to his and Charlie's… to his apartment.
He stands in the doorway, surveying the jumbled chaos of his life. The floor is littered with empty bottles and cans, used needles. A baggie of heroin sits next to the overflowing ashtray. Charlie's hooded sweatshirt is strewn over the back of the couch.
Sawyer is used to being the one who leaves. He's never the one who is left.
Sawyer lingers in the doorway a moment longer, noticing for the first time how empty and lonely the apartment seems, how the walls seem to be painted with hopelessness, then he sighs and goes to the kitchen to get himself a drink, knowing that it will never fill the hole he feels inside of himself – nothing will – but at least it will help him forget about it for a few hours.
A/N: Well, hope that was satisfactory. My original draft of this story actually had Charlie dying at the end, but I changed it at the last minute. Just in case I ever want to continue, I didn't want to make that impossible. Thanks for reading and sorry for the incredibly long wait.
Um… *scuffs shoe in the dirt* You're gonna review, right? Pretty please? They really do brighten up my day. (And I've had some stressful days lately, even if you don't count the home invasion, during which a gun was pointed at me.)
