The Falcons will remain a running team and hope that Michael Turner can duplicate his Pro Bowl breakout season. Turner powered the offense last year by rushing for 1,699 yards and leaving a slew of franchise records in his wake.
"I like what our offense did last year and I said from the very beginning that we're going to be a team that runs the football and stops the run," Smith said. "That's not going to change. I really think Tony Gonzalez is going to help our run game, too."
Gonzalez has played 12 seasons and has 916 catches for 76 touchdowns.
He has more catches, receiving yards and touchdown catches than any other NFL tight end. But while with the Chiefs, Gonzalez was never on a team that won a playoff game.
Gonzalez, 33, has three years remaining on his contract and he plans to fulfill and play those years. He hopes that the Falcons are indeed on the rise and a playoff contender. He said going to Super Bowl was his main focus in coming to Atlanta.
The Falcons made the playoffs last season behind the running of Turner, wide receiver Roddy White and rookie quarterback Matt Ryan. With Gonzalez on board, they'll be expected to make another playoff run.
--The Falcons signed free-agent linebacker Edmond Miles. Miles played in two games with the New York Giants last season and made one tackle. The former University of Iowa standout entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2007 and played in 16 games with the Miami Dolphins that season, leading the team with 16 special-teams tackles.
The Falcons lost linebackers Michael Boley (Giants) and Keith Brooking (Cowboys) in free agency, but they are still deep at the position, with veterans Mike Peterson, Coy Wire and Stephen Nicholas on the roster. Miles was signed to add depth to the position.
--Retired NFL coach Tony Dungy met with suspended Falcons quarterback Michael Vick in prison at Leavenworth, Kan. "I can confirm that coach Dungy and Michael met today," Vick's longtime agent, Joel Segal, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It was a real positive meeting."
Segal gave no further details. Vick, who is serving a 23-month sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation, is set to be released to home confinement on May 20. His sentence ends on July 20. Dungy, who led the Colts to a Super Bowl title, retired in January.
--CB Chris Owens, the team's third-round draft pick from San Jose State, will likely get an opportunity to start. "Chris Owens for us is a combination of a very physical and aggressive corner," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. "He comes to the table with a lot of speed. He's a sub-4.5 guy. He's actually a lower-4.4 guy. He's around a 4.43 player. He's increasing our speed in the secondary. Increases our physicality and has very good ball skills. He's gotten his hands on a lot of balls. He definitely brings an element of urgency to our defense as well."
--Some predraft projections had Richmond's Lawrence Sidbury going as high as the second round. So when the Falcons saw him sitting there in the fourth round, they snapped him up. "Lawrence was brought in here as a rush end-type. He is a good athlete with what we believe is some serious upside," Dimitroff said. "He has the ability to get off the mark quickly, to get upfield. He has the (ability) to turn the corner and rush the passer. He is still a little bit raw and needs to grow in a number of areas ... we were surprised to get him there in the fourth round. He ended up falling to us."
Sidbury is raw and will have to work on his techniques. "He's a 4.54 in our books," Dimitroff said. "If he can continue to learn to rush the passer and continue to learn you have a legitimate DPR -- defensive pass rush guy. He's still developing."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "You guys are going to be seeing this theme. Everyone one of these guys except for the offensive lineman has speed. When you go on the field in the training camps and OTAs you are going to see an increased level of speed." -- Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff on the focus on increasing team speed during the draft.
Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson was one of the more interesting undrafted free agents that the Falcons signed. He was a prep legend, leading Hoover High to three straight state championships and had the Crimson Tide in the hunt for a national championship last season.
At 6-1 1/2, 219 pounds, he has size but will have to refine his footwork to land a roster spot. Behind Matt Ryan are Chris Redman and D.J. Shockley. Wilson figures to have a shot at the No. 3 spot if the Falcons elect to go with Redman or Shockley as the No. 2.
--Tight end Ben Hartsock (toe) has been participating in offseason weight training and was cleared to participate in minicamp. He ended the season on injured reserve.
--Offensive guard/center Alex Stepanovich had back surgery and was not cleared for minicamp.
--Cornerback Von Hutchins (broken foot) was limited in minicamp, but expected to be fully cleared for Organized Training Activities that start on May 20.

Seven Tips for Enticing ReadersA designer's guide to reader-friendly page layout
I'm not talking about the quality of your images or your fantastic doubletruck that wins you a Maggie award. I'm talking about common page elements that draw a reader into a story and keep the reader there long enough to absorb at least some of the information. (I know you're looking at that ad down there and thinking, "Who is this guy to tell me about design?" Well, I didn't put that ad there, so just keep scrolling down.)
Let's face it: the people who subscribe to your magazine are not great readers. They're not literary scholars. And they're probably not all that interested in about 90 percent of what the writer has to say, especially since, in all likelihood, they can't understand it. (Journalism schools teach future reporters to write at the sixth-grade level. As a writer, me not like that, but me deal with it.)
What does this have to do with you, the designer?
You're the one whose job it is to get readers interested in the content. You are the one whose job it is to provide the visual cues that direct the reader, involve the reader and somehow force the reader to stay for longer than three seconds. And I'm just the guy to tell you how to do it.
With paragraph after paragraph of gray, monotonous text, subheads provide not only a break from the gray, but also an entry point onto the page. The eye sees the white space preceding a subhead and follows it to the bold type of the subhead itself.
A subhead should not just be placed randomly on the page. It should actually further the flow of the story, and, therefore, it should be associated with the portion of the story following it. It should be bold. There should be white space before it, but there should not be white space after it. A subhead should be in sentence case (first letter capitalized only), and it should not be indented. There should be at least two subheads per page.
Now, I know you're not an editor, but it couldn't hurt to suggest placement for subheads to the editor. If your editor does not write his or her own subheads, be afraid. All good editors know the importance of subheads in a story. They should also know how to compose the text following a subhead, as readers will more often than not start reading a story from the first or last subhead down.

Reviews of this property
We spent 3 nights in Brussels at Johanna's studio. It was really good. The place is really well conected. You can get to the metro red by 2 tram stops or a 15 minutes walk. The place is in a quiet, nice neighbourhood full of shops, bars, and beautiful houses.
besides, the space itself had got lots of facilities: towels, shampoo, kitchen suplies, coffe/tea. There was also a document were the owner explined the basic information: doctors/supermarkets/restaurants/main landmarks/ etc.
This studio is in a very convenient location to reach the city's main attractions.. The hosts were able to arrange my stay at very short notice. It is a small apartment , but recommended for a short trip to Brussels.
The studio is very comfortable and it had everything we needed to spend a perfect week in Brussels. It is very well conected with public transport and the owners were very kind with us.
Something negative would be that the kitchen has no sink, but we managed anyway.
El estudio está muy bien situado ya que se trata de una zona que, sin estar en el centro absoluto, está cerca de todo. para el coche está bien porque se puede aparcar fácilmente (aunque la zona es la que tiene el parkímetro mas horas de la ciudad), hay bares y restaurantes muy chulos alrededor.
En cuanto al estudio en sí, está muy bien aunque le falta algo de limpieza y atención por parte del anfitrión (por ejemplo un mapa de la ciudad). por lo demás, todo muy bien, Johana muy amable.
Lindo estudio, cuidado, limpio y con todo lo necesario. La anfitriona muy atenta y amable.
Hôte tres disponible et d'une grande gentillesse. L'appartement était propre et avait tout ce qu'il fallait dedans. De plus il est tres bien situé. Tres bonne expérience!

the answer is No.
Microsoft only produced the PP viewer for System 9 and System 9 under OS X (Classic)
Apple's Keynote, part of the iWork suite, can handle PP presentations as can Microsoft Office for Mac.
Both of the above are not free. iWork is $79 (could be less) and MS Office starts at $130 for the Student/Teacher edition and goes upwards from there.
Open Office is FREE. It will open PP presentations and has a good price. You can see it Here
Good luck
Is there free software to view PPS, (Windows Powerpoint) available for my PowerBook G4 with OS X? If so, where do I go to download it?

September 2009
BeschreibungThis book discusses the role of public policy in Article 81 of the EC Treaty. The Commission, and recently the Court of First Instance have said that the sole objective of Article 81 EC is consumer welfare. Many competition lawyers and economists support this view. Writing in a crisp, plain style, Townley demonstrates that public policy considerations are still relevant in that provision. He also examines how and where they are currently considered and then suggests why, how and where this might be changed.The book explains how some of the most complex competition law cases can be understood and offers a framework for those fighting or deciding such cases in the future. As such, it will be of interest to European competition lawyers, both academics and practitioners (furnishing them with a framework for hard cases), as well as students, seeking a deeper understanding of how the European competition rules work and how they interact both with European Union and Member State public policy goals. It will also help competition economists by revealing the mechanisms through which public policy considerations impact upon the consumer welfare test in European law.

I Died Inside
I Died Inside
Verse 1
Today, I died inside
Nobody even cares
But I know I'll be weak
If my feelings I share
Better to appear normal
Than to prove, once again
I'm a failure who can't
Seem to keep my friends
So I laughed
And I smiled
And I talked
Like I was fine
And I pretended
I was okay
In reality
I died inside
Verse 2
I see the way they
Treat her like she's really something
If I know anything
Then I know this one thing:
Wallflowers cannot be
Someone other than background
Everytime we try to climb
We end up falling down
So I laughed (a little louder)
And I smiled (a little bigger)
And I talked (just a little more)
Like I was fine (I wasn't fine)
And I pretended (daily occurrence)
I was okay (dying inside)
In reality (harsh reality)
I died inside (for the hundredth time)
Oh, oh, oh - doesn't anybody care?
Are my walls so high they can't see
What's going on inside me?
Oh, oh, oh - are you all indifferent
To this tearing, cutting hurt
Or am I well-disguised under the dirt?
So I laughed (the loudest of them all)
And I smiled (the biggest of them all)
And I talked (I talked the most)
Like I was fine (so far from fine)
And I pretended (I've gotten so good)
I was okay (the biggest lie)
In reality (brutal reality)
I died inside (for the thousandth time)
I died inside...
I died inside.

Entrepreneurship In Transitional Economies: Review And Integration Of Two Decades Of Research
This review maps research on entrepreneurship in transitional economies since the start of institutional reforms. Data came from 129 academic journal articles published between 1990 and 2009. 62 articles reported research on macro (country) level, discussing the nature and speed of reform, credit constraints, assistance programs and the role of small business for economic development. 67 articles studied micro (firm) level factors, but only 14 of them employed data analytical methods to study what explains entrepreneurial success, suggesting a role for networking, industry experience and entrepreneurial orientation. We suggest more research on understanding the context of entrepreneurship, with a special focus on the informal institutional environment and industry structure. Also, future research can explore topics such as strategic agendas, opportunity identification and entrepreneurial cognition, which have been rare to date. We particularly emphasize the need for rigorous and replicable large-scale empirical studies.

text: Shading makes faceted objects appear smooth. However; the contour will still appear non smooth. Subdivision schemes can handle this problem by introducing new polygons in the mesh. The disadvantage is that a more complex mesh takes more time to render than a simple one. We propose a new method for constructing a curvilinear mesh using quadratic curves with near least square acceleration. This mesh could be used for subsequent subdivision of the surface. This can be done on the fly; at least in software rendering; depending on the curvature of the contour. The advantage is that new polygons are only inserted where needed. However; in this paper we will focus on how such curvilinear mesh can be constructed using vertex points and vertex normals for each polygon. Thus; information about neighboring polygons are not needed and on the fly subdivision is made easier.

Living standards improve, despite tough economy
When Richard Steckel was a kid, he had friends whose family put their refrigerator in the living room. So great was the status of a new, electrified icebox that it had to be displayed for all to see.
"Who doesn't have a refrigerator today?" asks Steckel, 66, an Ohio State University economist. "People grossly underestimate our progress over time because of technology."
The nation is recovering from its worst recession in decades and the unemployment rate is above 9%. Yet the nation's standard of living — by almost any standard — is better than ever, or close to it.
A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll found only 31% of Americans thought they could live comfortably for less than $50,000 a year. One-fourth thought it would take $100,000 or more to make them comfortable.
That's roughly the same result as when Americans were asked the same question in 1987, after adjusting for inflation.
What's different today — what stretches the ordinary imagination — is how much richer we've become than at any time in the past. USA TODAY compared life today to 1980 to show how life has changed since Ronald Reagan was elected president and during the adulthood of Baby Boomers, the 77 million born from 1946 through 1964.
The average annual income was $24,079 per person in 1980 in inflation-adjusted dollars, according to Bureau of Economic Analysis data. Last year, it was $40,454 per person.
Not only has income grown, what's less obvious is how much better a lifestyle can be bought for the same amount of money — whether it's $25,000 or $100,000.
In 1980, 2.5 gigabytes of computer power cost $214,000 and consumed a room. Today, that capacity sells for $7 in a pinky-sized flash drive at Best Buy.
The wealth of the computer era and other innovations have made this generation so prosperous that it's hard to remember what life was like not long ago.
A typical new house today has 2,400 square feet and fewer people in it than the typical 1,700-square-foot new home of 1980. Today, Americans fly twice as many miles as in 1980 and own more vehicles than the nation has drivers.
A new frugality
Yet the recession has changed our attitudes and expectations so many Americans don't feel as rich as they were several years ago or when they grew up.
"People earning $200,000 a year are feeling and behaving like those with half that income," says Scott Spiker, chief executive of First Command Financial Services, an investment adviser that surveys consumer attitudes.
Americans appear to have made a permanent adjustment toward frugality, Spiker says. "People are making a standard of living change, saying they don't have to live so far on the edge anymore," he says.
Automakers see the change.
Buyers are purchasing smaller cars to save money, then spending more on safety upgrades, entertainment systems and global positioning satellite systems, says Jeff Schuster, forecasting director for J.D. Power and Associates, an automotive research firm.
"People are taking some of the savings from downsizing and luxury-ing up the vehicles," he says. "The buyer is saying, 'Maybe I don't need all the space, but I want the amenities.' "
The shift to luxuries — which soon become everyday items — has been helped by a decline in the cost of food and clothing, partly the result of cheaper production overseas and discount retailers such as Wal-Mart.
High unemployment and increased inequality has led to the perception that living standards aren't progressing as they should, Steckel says. "It doesn't mean much that you can buy a $10 shirt at Wal-Mart if you don't have a job," he says.
Still, the average person spends about $1,000 a year on clothes today, the same as in 1980, even though incomes are higher and shirts cheaper.
With basic items inexpensive, consumers have turned the flow of money to their quality of life: housing, health care and recreation. Americans spent $5,438 per person on health care last year, up from $1,796 in 1980, after adjusting for inflation.
The spending has paid off.
A 50-year-old can expect to live three years longer than a person of that age in 1980. The chance of surviving cancer is way up, pollution is way down. Crime has fallen by two-thirds.
Steckel, the economist, says our living standard has improved far more than economic numbers reveal. "Imagine what people would have once paid for aspirin? An enormous sum. Today, it's super-cheap, as are so many products," he says.
Every year, Steckel asks his students how many expect to have a standard of living equal to their parents. Many students predict they'll be worse off.
To imagine what living standards were not long ago here and are in much of the world, Steckel suggests they turn off their electricity. To really understand, he says, shut off the plumbing.

When it comes to the question of sink or swim, the Miami Dolphins have decided to just float. Trying to grade this season by simply wins and losses, you are measuring their season with a meter stick, when the game is played by the yard. The fact of the matter is the Dolphins just do not have the playmakers on this team to put them in the winning column when the games are tight. Plays like Anthony Fasano's touchdown grab against the San Francisco 49ers seem to be more like the exception than the expected for the Dolphins. Lacking that big play capability has contributed to the Dolphins 3-5 record in one possession games this year, which will be the difference between them and the teams that make the playoffs this year.… Read more

Crucial M550 256GB SSD Review
You've seen the 128GB and the 1TB M550 reviews, and now it's time to fill in the gap. Today, we're looking at the 256GB capacity size that, like the 128GB model, uses 64Gb die to increase parallelism in Crucial's RAIN feature.
Just days ago, we saw the ADATA Premier Pro SP920 128GB with the same Marvell controller that's in the Crucial M550. The difference between the SP920 and the M550 is the NAND flash in the two smallest capacity drives.
In the SP920 128GB review, we clearly saw how the increased number of die per package increased performance. In the 256GB M550 review, we expect to see the performance increase over the SP920.
The flash, paired with the new Marvell 88SS9189 controller, puts the M550 in the top tier of performance with the fastest consumer SSDs in the world today.
Specifications, Pricing and Availability
The Crucial M550 hit the market in four capacity sizes, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and the flagship 1TB model. All four models use the same Marvell SS889189 controller and pair it with 20nm Micron flash. The two smaller drives use 64Gb die, while the two larger capacity size models use 128Gb die.
Crucial rates the 256GB M550 at 550 MB/s sequential read and 500 MB/s sequential write speeds. Random performance is 90k read and 80k write. The M550 goes beyond just performance, though. The new flagship brings host power loss protection to the consumer market as well as TCG Opal and eDrive support for hardware encrypted data security. The M550 also supports DEVSLP for newer systems, which is a very nice power saving feature that can increase notebook battery life.
Newegg has all four capacity sizes in stock. At the time of writing, the 128GB was at $99.99, the 256GB at $168.99, the 512GB model at $334.99, and the large 1TB model at $529.99. All M550 models have a three-year manufacturer's warranty, ship with a 7mm to 9.5mm adapter bracket, and Crucial also provides Acronis data migration software via a download.

Second Founding (31st Millennium)
|Successors of
|Successor Chapters
|Chapter Master
Midnight Blue & Black
The Nemesis Chapter is a Loyalist Codex Astartes-compliant Space Marine Chapter. The Nemesis Chapter is a Second Founding Successor Chapter of the Ultramarines Legion. There is little information on this little-known Chapter in current Imperial records, except that they are descended from those Ultramarines companies who fought alongside the then-Loyalist Night Lords Legion during a brutal purgation campaign during the Great Crusade.
Chapter HistoryEdit
The origins of the Nemesis Chapter can be traced back to the Great Crusade over ten millennia earlier, when they were still a part of the Ultramarines Legion, then known as the XIII Legion, before their reunification with their Primarch Roboute Guilliman. Following their unification with their Primarch, Guilliman quickly set about restructuring his Legion's operational doctrine and hierarchy to suit his personal tastes and style of leadership. While the newly espoused doctrine of structured adaptability became deeply ingrained within many of the Legion's chapters, there were some notable deviations from this pattern. Some few individual chapters, through long held preference or some quirk of supply, maintained notable strengths of non-standard equipment or personnel. One of the more noteworthy examples of this, was the 22nd Chapter, the so-called Nemesis Chapter -- long a hold-out of its Terran born contingents -- who maintained large numbers of Space Marines equipped as Destroyer units, and was one of the few Ultramarines formations to routinely be deployed especially to Exterminatus operations by the Legion.
Before their unification with their Primarch, the warrior brotherhood of the XIII had, at that time, only in the decades after their initial raising on Terra, begun to display its achievements visually. But rather than take on a particular livery and iconography as a whole, individual companies who had come to prominence in a particularly important Compliance operation or campaign took on additions to their core Legion livery -- which maintained the post-Unification storm grey and gunmetal they had worn since Sedna -- to commemorate their greatest achievements. Those companies who had fought alongside the VIII Legion in the purgation of the Abhuman corsairs of the Cancerai Nebula afterwards bore black gauntlets, midnight blue helms and the ancient weighing scales and death's head icon of judgment in heraldic opposition of their Legion numeral, and took the name of "Nemesis" as their own. Such honours were claimed as the Legion's strength made visible.
Following the end of the Horus Heresy, Primarch Roboute Guilliman was responsible for the restructuring of the Imperium's military forces. The vast Space Marine Legions would be broken down into numerous, smaller existing formations, known as Chapters. When the Second Founding of the Space Marines was decreed seven years after the death of Horus and the end of his Heresy, most of the old Loyalist Legions divided into fewer than 5 Successor Chapters, but the Ultramarines were divided many times. The existing 22nd Chapter formed the core group of Astartes for the newly formed Nemesis Chapter.
Notable CampaignsEdit
- The Orphean War (992.M41) - Following the immense bloodshed and the loss of nearly half of the Orpheus Sector in Segmentum Tempestus to the Necrons, the Nemesis Chapter sent out troops to fight the ever-growing threat of the awakening Necron Dynasty identified as the Maynarkh Dynasty. Although they arrived too late to participate in the desperate Battle of Amarah, the detachment was requisitioned, like their brothers from the Red Seraphs Chapter, to enforce a security cordon around those worlds yet free of the Necrons' taint whilst the Imperium heavily fortified the neighbouring Eurydice Sector.
Chapter AppearanceEdit
Chapter ColoursEdit
The Nemesis Chapter's colours are predominately midnight blue with black gauntlets. Presumably, as a Codex-compliant Chapter, their squad specialty symbols are worn either on the shoulder guard or knee guard as proscribed in the Codex Astartes.
Chapter BadgeEdit
The Nemesis Chapter's badge is the ancient weighing scales and death's head icon of judgment.

The exclusive Swiss private bank Rothschild did employ the aristocratic financial adviser who lost a Novartis pharmaceuticals heiress $44m of her inheritance through disastrous investments, new court filings allege.
Corinna von Schonau claims Rothschild Bank bore responsibility for the fact that its aristocratic financial adviser, the Baron Wilfrid von Plotho, squandered her fortune on high risk investments that later proved worthless.
She claims he worked for the bank at the time, and that it should therefore compensate her for his disastrous financial advice and its failure to check on his investments.
While she successfully sued the Baron in a recent court case in Boston, Massachusetts, Rothschild successfully argued that he was not an agent of the bank at the time. While he was making his duff investments, he was in Massachusetts, "moonlighting" away from the bank, it argued.
But Ms von Schonau's legal team has now filed what it claims is new evidence proving "Rothschild and von Plotho misled the court". It urges the Boston court to overturn its previous decision.
As well as witness testimony, the new evidence includes the Baron's Rothschild employment agreement at the time which Ms von Schonau's team claims proves he was a bona fide bank employee, acting in Massachusetts in line with his job at the bank. Furthermore, the contract states explicitly that the Baron is banned from moonlighting without Rothschild's permission
The millionairess's lawyers also have obtained and filed as evidence" visit reports" prepared by Rothschild which they claim prove both that the bank was supervising the investments made from her accounts and that it even charged and collected fees for managing them.
Further new evidence, she claims, includes a regulatory filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission proving the baron was managing the Massachusetts investments in his capacity as a Rothschild agent.
Rothschild had, it claims, not made the evidence available at the time of the first court case despite having most of it in its possession and control.
Rothschild repeated a statement given before the legal filings, saying the previous case against it had been thrown out of court and lost on appeal. "We categorically reject the claims that have been made against Rothschild Bank AG," it said.

New Delhi, June 6 (UNI) Amid plethora of media reports of actresses of tinsel town; from Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to Priyanka Chopra to Bipasha Basu to Kareena Kapoor striving to achieve 'size zero' through their rigorous fitness regimes, Shilpa Shetty, the 'original Bollywood actress with a healthy body', today said all this talk of 'size zero' was a misnomer.
''Contrary to popular perception in the media, achieving 'size zero' is not healthy. In fact, for someone being called 'size zero' is not a complement. So, it is wrong on the part of the media to call someone 'size sero','' Shilpa said at a function for the release of ''Shilpa's Yoga'', an instructional video based on the ancient Indian practice of Yoga.
On the media increasingly calling her the main reference point for actresses trying to achieve a so called 'size zero' body, Shilpa said, ''I am not size zero, maybe 'size eight' but definitely not 'size zero'.'' About the media talk of Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor being the latest example of someone achieving 'size zero', Shilpa said, ''I don't think Kareena is 'size zero', maybe 'size four' or 'size five'.'' On her recipe for fitness, Shilpa said she was not in favour of indulging in crash diets to achieve a fit body.
''My Philosophy in life is 'eat well and work out hard'. At the same time, if you want to be healthy and fit, you need to have some discipline in terms of the diet you consume,'' the actress said.
Talking about her latest Yoga DVD, Shilpa said, ''it has been shot at the beautiful backwaters of God's own country 'Kerala'.'' She said the video was targetted at the international market.
''I was inspired with the idea of coming with this video after being told that all the Yoga DVDs in the market till now have been done by international experts on Yoga. It surprised me to know that no Indian had till now come up with a video about Yoga which originated from India. So I decided to come up with one myself,'' Shilpa said.
The training and workshops in Yoga, which went into the making of the DVD, however, had the actress hooked on to the art.
''It was a great experience shooting for this video. In fact, after working on this DVD, I have myself become a great fan of Yoga. Practicing it has helped me achieve a healthy mind, body and soul.
''It is a management system for life and the most holistic approach to life that I have come across. It strengthens, tones and cures. It works on body, mind and soul. In short I can say that Yoga has had a spectacular impact on my life,'' Shilpa said.
Directed by Manisha Jha, under the instruction of well-known Yoga instructor Shiv Kumar Misra, 'Shilpa's Yoga' is picturised on the scenic beach with ceremonia elephants and Kalaripayattu fighters in the background and demonstrations of asanas in a simplified manner.
''The concept of the DVD is to make Yoga look simple, something that can be practised by anyone - from ten-year-olds to a 60-year- old,'' the actress said.
In reply to a question on whether she wanted to give competition to Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev, Shilpa said, ''there is no question of competition with Baba Ramdev. I am myself a big fan of him. I admire him as a person who single-handedly has created a huge awareness for Yoga in the country and made it so accessible.'' Also present at the launch of the DVD were the joint managing director of Shemaroo entertainment Atul Maroo and its director Hiren Gada.

Excellent garage, will definitely use again and recommend to all. Very helpful and great customer service. Thank you!
Good service
I needed my Cam Belt changing after being let down and it needed doing like yesterday. Kens garage quoted me £250 and considering I was desperate I accepted. I provided the parts and they picked up my car. Once there I got the call that my discs and pads were really really shot and was quoting another £250. Although expensive, I had no choice but to accept it ( not because I was forced to, far from it, it was for safety). They promised to have the car back to me within 24 hrs and I was disappointed that they arrived 1 minute late! Overall I'm more than happy. They helped me out greatly and had the car back to me as promised. Slightly expensive, but they did collect and drop off the car to my door. Great comms throughout and a very friendly guy to deal with. Would definitely use again without hesitation.
Without a shadow of doubt from start to finish perfect As a 1st time customer the communication was perfect car was picked up on time perfect communication through out the day with updates car dropped off earlier looking like it came out of a show room. Told me exactly what was wrong and what the recommendations are really felt at ease Perfect gentleman All I can say is a big big thank you and will see you again soon 10 stars all the way highly recommend
Price was higher, due to my own fault asking for timing belt instead of timing chain. excellent service and great communication, highly recommended.
Qùock and excellent service
Good communication, completed the work in the deadline that I asked for, at a very competitive and reasonable price, compared to other garages. During out of office hours they were communicating. I posted the job on a friday or saturday and wasn't expecting any communication till the monday so that was great. I was really really pleased, I would definately recommend this garage!
I was very pleased with this garage and would certainly recommend and use them again. I found them to be honest and competitively priced. They were also polite, friendly and not in the least pushy. Two small problems occurred and not only were these resolved extremely promptly but l also received some money off my bill. I left them thinking l would trust them completely.
We arrived at 08.30 with our Ford c-max for a new clutch we were told it would be ready for 5pm very reasonable price as per quote and a good job done car ready on time will use this garage again thanks guys
Had car to go through Mot as had failed previously, needed two rear tyres changed and rear cluster brake lights shorting and brake pads. Car passed Mot handed over £280. Did this in January, my previous tyre had a small puncture which I had to re inflate every 2 weeks. I went on holiday for 3 weeks in April and noticed the tyre flat. So I pumped it up again and ever since I've had to do it every week now, took it back and the guy who took my money did not seem interested. I have checked the light cluster and that is still not working so obviously my car is legal. Please don't use these guys.
I had the clutch replaced at this garage and this was completed successfully as the car seems fine so far. However, I have also asked for A/C recharge and they were not able to complete the job, they have advised that the EIC condenser has a leak and needs replacement. I have been charged £20 for this job even though my AC still does not work. Was agreed with Sam that he will call me the next day to provide a quote for the condenser replacement, he did not bother to call me back at all. Also they have not re-filled the engine coolant after completing the works, had to buy new coolant on my way home. Not very professional garage overall, had to call several times to get updates for collection time and did not even get response.
very pleased with the service

We Are Siamese If You Please
... With just two days to go we did it, we posted our Rio blog and were up to date, I don't even know how long it has been since those words came out of my mouth, but I was ready to shout it from the roof tops "WE ARE UP TO DATE!!!". Now we just need to keep it that way.
The praise and comments from our family and friends certainly had a big part in keeping us going on the blog marathon, in fact I think that it was probably a super marathon or that ...
It's love!
... the rocks and we explored only half of what was there due to time !We sampled some local Brazilian buffet style food for €6 each, we had a main meal and much to Niamh's delight dessert too !!
Then went to "Top of the World" to watch the sunset and people para-gliding off the highest point in Belo Horizonte. We went out for drinks that evening, which was surprisingly chilly !!
Making Pao de Queijo and learning to dance
... world! I managed to get through a few songs without falling over or throwing anyone out a window, so I'm gonna call it a success. It was actually pretty fun. Becoming less of a gringo as the days go on.
Anyway a whole family dancing around the living room in between meals was not exactly how I imagined lunch at Grandma's house, but I guess, this is Brazil, and Brazil just keeps on surprising me. ...
Work and study
... to use it in an everday setting. I'm actually like an English high school exam teacher than an english language teacher, but it's good.
I hung around in the office with Marcio and sat with him while he gave a class so I could pick up on some tips and things. Once we had finished, and it was time for us to go home, it was raining like crazy and I really didn't want to walk to the bus stop, but Marcio was nice enough to drop me at home. Woop! My boss is pretty cool
Best man arrives, scuba dives
... left hungry. At this point just after lunch, Rod thought it would be a good idea to jump out of the second story window of the house into the pool. It looked so fun, but I was dry and couldn't be bothered using my borrowed princess diaries towel to dry off again.
We headed back into town afterwards, and Tim and Kirsty felt the wrath of jetlag and passed out while Alex and I had some quiet ...

It's no secret Denver Harbor, just northeast of downtown, isn't the safest neighborhood around. Crime in the mostly Hispanic area has been steady over the years. But a new police storefront manned by HPD and Harris County Precinct Six deputies could change that. Constable Victor Trevino says the partnership is historic.
"We've always worked together, but not on an actual logistic basis. I know they're doing some undercover work. We're not going to interfere, but we're there to send our patrol officers to assist them when they're ready to make the arrest. We know that certain areas have a certain trend, whether it's gang activity. We're going to work with them there."
You're going to have a hard time convincing Abel Alvarez anything will change in Denver Harbor though. He's lived there for almost 60 years.
"I drive down the freeway. I'm here in the morning and I hardly see a patrol car. Really. This is a fact. Ask the neighbors. Like yesterday morning. I was walking around the park. This lady says there's a gang over there. I wanted to tell the patrol officers to go check them out. We need more police officers in the city of Houston."
Alvarez isn't the only one who doubts the new efforts. Others say they they'll see an increased presence for a while, but then expect it to go away. Houston Police Captain Dale Brown says that won't happen.
"I can tell you since January we've been using tactics out here that you're not going to see. We've been doing them for over a month. The crime rate in this area is already down over ten percent
just in the last 30 days. We're not satisfied with that. We're going after at least ten more percent or beyond that."
James Rodriguez is a new Houston city councilman. He was able to get the storefront opened within his first two months in office. He says it's his job now to continue the police presence in Denver Harbor.
"I do have the commitment from the mayor to continue to focus resources out here. We've increased the overtime and the police presence and I'm going to make sure it stays that way and that's not lip service. That's my job as a city councilmember is to listen to the constituents and to come out and to make sure that we're doing what we need to do at the city level."
The new storefront is at the Denver Harbor Multi-Service Center.

Remember the billboard that went up in Denver telling coach John Fox to bench Kyle Orton and play Tim Tebow at quarterback? It apparently cost Tim Tebow money.
NFL.com's Jeff Darlington says the Broncos quarterbacks have a fines system going, and sources told him Tebow was docked money every day that the billboard was up. He apparently was fined for not speaking out against the billboard.
That really doesn't make much sense.
The Broncos were unsuccessful with Kyle Orton starting. Tebow entered the season believing he was going to be the starter, and even commented in the preseason that he felt like the job was taken from him. If he felt he was better than Orton — and the results have proven that is the case — why should he have spoken against the billboard?
Denver was 1-4 with Orton starting and is now 7-3 under Tebow. Looks like the billboard knew what was best for the team.

How I got rid of acne
If you all recall from my earlier posts from these two links,
I had a bad case of cystic acne at 20, something worse from my teenage years. It's probably adult acne. At that time, I was going through a rough time with school and family. The stress probably added to it. Also, I partly blame myself and Estee Lauder's Double Wear Foundation. I probably didn't use a good makeup remover to rid of the foundation but cystic acne is more of skin deep troubles; hormonal.
The first photo is from an old blog and the right picture is of today. I have a reason for having that ONE pimple on my right face though. In actuality, I haven't had a breakout for the past 3 months, even when it was time of the month! I would love to share with you all how I have maintained acne free skin.
1. Drink water, tons of it. I feel my face is plump and glowy with more water than without any.
2. Maintain your weight, diet and excercise. As I lose weight, I have less.. because there's less fat in my body.
3. My new skincare regime!
1. Clean and Clear Deep Exfoliating Scrub
I use this daily as it's gentle enough for daily use. I love the tingly sensation on my face. It exfoliates my skin daily giving me that radiant skin. I have used this for the past half to almost a year. Staying loyal is a good thing.
2. African Black Soap
OMG, this is my HG right now. It's all natural and is used on many things like dry skin, eczema, acne, lightens acne, ringworms, and many more. I have been using it for the past 3 or so months and I have been acne free since. I had my first breakout just this week because I gave my last of it to my nephew and I was without it for 1.5 weeks. It really is a cleanser that deeply cleanses! Makes my face SQUEAKY clean to the point where I feel friction on my face if I slide it up or down! This soap has changed my life, my partner's and my mother's. She has that chicken skin on her arms and with the use of this soap, it went away! She loved the mini sample I gave her SO much that she asked me to order her more! I am delighted that she loves it as much as I do. I only want to spread it to more people! I bought mine 4 times from ebay. The fact that I only have to use 1/2 pea size each use is a wonderful thing. 1lb for $11 shipped is a mega good deal! It'll last me a while, LONG LONG TIME!
Here's a video on how to use it and such!
African Black Soap
** you do not want to get the boxed ones that are BLACK. those are dyed and has been manufactured with more chemicals. The raw kind should be brown with black.

Hi Diane! Just watched your video...since it was almost 20 minutes, I opened a second window and caught up on your past posts while listening to the vid : ) Did not realize you were married. Your husband is a cutie!
So I wanted to find out the seller you got the black soap from and lo and behold there it was. $11 is not bad for 1 lb because I think it would take forever for me to use up 1 lb of soap.
I don't really have oily skin, pimples or acne but I am looking for a cleanser for the sensitive skin on my face. I'm not sure if it will work for me as well as it did for you! I'm a little apprehensive of the effort that goes into maintaining the soap...breaking it up into pieces and then storing it in little tupperwares. I'm lazy!
