By far the nicest attorney I have ever dealt with. Ms. Funkenbusch was very helpful and kept me very well informed throughout the entire case. The amount of time she spent on my case was great and her fees were very reasonable. If you need legal help she is definitely the one to go to!

Well, at the time of that announcement it drop in subs stopped and stabilized at 10.2 miljon.
We have now closed Q2 2012. I expect this month the new numbers.... and I'm afraid that this time around they can't claim that it is still stable.
Does anyone know when Blizzard will publish those numbers?
Hey all just wanted to chime in on this,
Nor hate or fanboyism will be posted from my response but just wanted to say although i love WoW i have left the game and the only reason why I'm still a paid subscriber is because of the Annual pass which ends up in the end of October or November cant remember. So to sit here and say that this game is dead or not doesn't really matter cause it never will be so the haters gotta stop hating. I am curious to see how many subscribers they may lose from Q4 2012 because of all the Annual pass holders in that time frame that may be waiting for it to end. Assuming Blizzard is Smart MoP will be out in October to counter that number of subs that may leave this game. The reason why i left the game has nothing to do with with Pandas or crap like that like others are saying, rather a staleness that was left within my guild when LFR came out and the inability to form 10 man raids and such. I just felt like the social activity of learning mechanics with a core group left and handing out gear like i was going out trick-or-treating bothered me. That's just my take on the game......and please don't hate on me just my opinion
It's also highly unlikely that the number of subs will drop until Q1 2013, because... Christmas and Blizzard's marketing. And when it's getting close to Q1 2013, we can expect the next major content patch to be dropping, to stymie any loss of subs.

Fear I believe is an elusive emotion. The fear of unknown is so intangible yet has the power of crushing ones spirit indefinitely. I have succumbed to this fear countless number of times. Being bold, taking a risk and venturing in to an unknown territory were all forbidden in my little world.
Along came the little guy and I found myself teaching him "Don't let fear overtake you" and was personally avoiding all sorts of things because of my own irrational fear.
There comes a point in parenthood when you have to actually walk the talk. So, I tried.
I tried in my own naive way to be bold and take risks. It felt exhilerating to let go of that rigidness, that unknown fear and be free.
To celebrate my new found act of boldness, I made an omelet with bold flavors. Green chilies and fennel seeds with a dash of black pepper make a bold statement with their spicy, smoky flavors.
2 eggs
1 green chili - split in 2 halves
1/4 tsp of fennel seeds
1/4 tsp of fresh ground black pepper
olive oil
Heat a pan with 2 tsp of olive oil.
when the oil is hot add the green chilies and fennel seeds.
Let them toast for couple of seconds, you should be able to smell the smoky flavor of the chilies and fennel seeds.
Beat two eggs in a bowl thoroughly, and add to the pan when the green chilies and fennel seeds are toasted.
Mix the egg mixture, chilies and fennel seeds. Sprinkle some salt and pepper.
Reduce the heat and close the pan for 30 seconds.
Open the lid and fold the omelette in to half and flip it over.
Let it cook for a few seconds until the omelet is nice and toasty on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
If the green chilies are too spicy for your palette- you can add green bell peppers. The key is to make sure the chilies/peppers and fennel seeds are nicely toasted before adding the eggs.
The little guy as always has taught me an important life lesson - never fear the unknown. You never known what sort of surprises are lurking underneath the veil of fear that we all insist of wearing. Take out the veil and have a bold look at the world out there. While you are at it, try a chili or two with some fennel seeds.

The study analyses the independence, management rights, and private gains of chaebol-affiliated companies, using stock market indices to evaluate the performance of chaebol restructuring, and aims to define implications for scope and direction for future corporate reform drives. Reform of the chaebol governance structure in general is targeted at:
1) Enhancing the independence of affiliates by discouraging excessive business diversification and group-oriented business management
2) Improving the weak governance structure, which has allowed the controlling shareholders to abuses their power
The top 25 corporate groups based on their asset value (as per Fair Trade Commission's survey in 1996) were selected and reviewed for a period between January 1996 to July 1997 (pre-restructuring), and between July 1998 and December 1999 (post-restructuring). Based on their daily stock prices, corporate indices related to governance structure—influence of group-wide risk and business performance on its price earnings ratio—were analyzed to determine their change before and after restructuring.
The study found that after corporate restructuring following the economic crisis, group-oriented business management has weakened in chaebol companies. Before the economic downturn, the price earnings ratios of chaebol affiliates were greatly affected by that of the group, but after restructuring, the influence of group performance has declined. In addition, as chaebol companies to expanded independently-managed businesses, the market now evaluates chaebol affiliates as having less risk associated with the group's business performance.
However, as chaebol-affiliated companies ranked 6th or below now enjoy greater independence, independence of companies affiliated with top the 5 conglomerates has weakened. The correlation between group performance and individual affiliates' performance was very high for conglomerates considered the 6th largest or below, and correlation declined significantly after restructuring. The top 5 conglomerates showed even higher correlation. This implies that restructuring has been less effective in the top 5 chaebol companies compared to the others.
For most chaebol companies, the level of private gain obtained through exclusive ownership of management rights is showing a weak downward trend compared to that of pre-restructuring, but the absolute level is still quite high. One of the reasons why common shares with voting rights are traded at higher prices than preferred shares without voting rights, but entitled to higher dividends, is due to the volume of private gain of the controlling major shareholder as well as his influence over the business management. The premium attached to voting rights (the price differential between common shares and preferred shares divided by preferred share prices) was estimated at 95 percent in 1996 and at 81 percent in 1999 indicating that the private gains obtained through dominating management rights are still significant. The premium for voting rights stands at 5.3 percent in the US, 6.5 percent in Sweden and 13.3 percent in the UK.

Lambourn is a large village and civil parish in the northwestern part of the ceremonial county of Berkshire in England. It is best known for its associations with British National Hunt racehorse training.
Lambourn is situated in the valley of the River Lambourn, a summer bourn in the chalk upland area of the Berkshire Downs. It is 13 miles (21 km) north-west of Newbury, 13 miles (21 km) north-east of Marlborough, 11 miles (18 km) south-east of Swindon, 7 miles (11 km) south-west of Wantage and 7 miles (11 km) north of Hungerford. When the Vale of the White Horse was transfered to Oxfordshire in 1974 it became the westernmost parish in Berkshire bordering Wiltshire to the south and west and Oxfordshire to the north and west, the only adjacent parishes in Berkshire are East Garston to the east and Hungerford to the south east. Lambourn lies on the crossroads of the B4000 from Newbury to Highworth and the B4001 from Chilton Foliat to Childrey. The B4000 used to follow the River Lambourn up the Newbury Road until the construction of the M4 motorway in the early 1970s.[1] When the M4 Motorway was built the B4000 was diverted along Ermin Street as the old road could not be widened for HGVs in the narrow streets of Great Shefford, Eastbury and Lambourn. The B4001 was also diverted onto Ermin Street because of the M4 and the B4000 and B4001 merge until they arrive in Lambourn at the bottom of Hungerford Hill. The M4 Motorway passes through the southern part of the parish between Junction 14 (7 miles (11 km) south-east of the village) and Junction 15 (8 miles (13 km) to the west). Membury Service Station (previously RAF Membury), Membury transmitting station and the north-eastern quarter of Membury iron age fort are in the south-west corner of the parish. In 1898 the Lambourn Valley Railway was built and a branch line connected Lambourn to Newbury until it was closed in 1964 after the Beeching Report. The nearest station is now at Hungerford on the Reading to Plymouth Line.
Lambourn Downs
They heard of the Great Barrows, and the green mounds, and the stone-rings upon the hills and in the hollows among the hills. Sheep were bleating in flocks. Green walls and white walls rose. There were fortresses on the heights. There were fortresses on the heights. Kings of little kingdoms fought together, and the young Sun shone like fire on the red metal of their new and greedy swords. There was victory and defeat; and towers fell, fortresses were burned, and flames went up into the sky. Gold was piled on the biers of dead kings and queens; and mounds covered them, and the stone doors were shut; and the grass grew over all. Sheep walked for a while biting the grass, but soon the hills were empty again. J. R. R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings
The Lambourn Downs - also known as the Berkshire Downs - are part of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and cover an area of 231 square miles (600 square km)[2] from the Ridgeway in the north to the River Kennet in the south. Originally they were entirely in Berkshire, but the Local Government Act 1972 transfered large parts of the downs to Oxfordshire and Wiltshire. Due to the poor, chalky soil the downs could not be used for growing crops until the advent of modern fertilizers. Consequently the high ground was only used for breeding sheep - hence the name of Lambourn - and horses. The Oxford Don and author J. R. R. Tolkien lived nearby and travelled to the Lambourn Downs with his family and friends. He was was impressed by the downs with their sarsen stones, barrows and hill forts and painted a picture of Lambourn in 1912.[3] Within the parish itself are the following downs and chalk hills;
- Bockhampton Down
- Cleeve Hill
- Coppington Down
- Coppington Hill
- Crow Down
- Eastbury Down
- Ewe Hill

The civil parish of Lambourn has a population of about 4,200. Besides Lambourn itself, it comprises the villages of Upper Lambourn, Eastbury, Woodlands St Mary and Lambourn Woodlands, together with the hamlets of Mile End, Sheepdrove and Bockhampton and a considerable area of rural downland. The parish council is split into four wards for electoral purposes, with two councillors being elected by the wards of Upper Lambourn, Eastbury and Woodlands St Mary/Lambourn Woodlands; and nine councillors from Lambourn itself.[4][5] The parish shares boundaries with the Berkshire parishes of East Garston and Hungerford, with the Wiltshire parishes of Chilton Foliat, Ramsbury and Baydon, and with the Oxfordshire parishes of Ashbury, Compton Beauchamp, Woolstone, Uffington, Kingston Lisle, Sparsholt, Childrey and Letcombe Bassett.[6] The parish is part of the unitary authority of West Berkshire, and lies within Newbury parliamentary constituency.
Lambourn and the surrounding downland is best known today as a major horse racing centre, mainly National Hunt. Many villagers' work is related to horse racing, but there are an increasing number of commuters who use the M4, including many airline pilots based at Heathrow. The United Kingdom's last cravat makers was based in Lambourn until they closed in 2006. Lambourn Racehorse Transport Ltd was founded in the village in 1930 and transports many of the local horses, especially since the closure of the Lambourn Valley Railway in 1964.[7] It is owned by Merrick Francis (the son of Dick Francis) and is the largest horse transport business in Europe.[8][9]
Horse racing
The racing connection began in the 18th century, when the Earl of Craven held racing meetings on Weathercock Hill near Ashdown House. There were regular race meetings on the Lambourn Downs and private race meetings can be held on Mandown between Upper Lambourn and Seven Barrows. In the 1840s some owners moved their racehorses to Lambourn as the ground at Newmarket was too firm and caused many horses to break down.[10] The first trainers were Edwin Parr, Joseph Saxon, John Prince, Luke Snowden (one of the few trainers to be buried at St Michaels graveyard) and John Drinkald, who went insane when his horse was disqualified after winning a race in which he stood to win £28,000.[11][12] The first stables were at the Red Lion Inn on the crossroads opposite the church, which have been converted into flats and at Lambourn Stables, now called Kingswood House Stables. The well drained, spongy grass, open downs and long flats made Lambourn an ideal for training racehorses and it became a fashionable training centre.[13] Lord Rothschild has his stables at Russley Park in Wiltshire and like Lord Craven his horses practised on the gallops at Lambourn.[14] However, it was not until the Lambourn Valley Railway was built in 1898 that Lambourn grew into its present size. Until then horses could only attend local meets, or had to walk the 10-15 miles to the railway at Newbury. Horses could now be transported to Newbury and from there to meetings all over the country and many new stables were opened in the area. Over 1,500 horses are now stabled in and around Lambourn - second only to Newmarket - there are many major stables, varied turf and all-weather gallops in and around the village. It even has the luxury of two fully licensed equine swimming pools and the Ridgeway Veterinary Group Valley Equine Hospital. As a result it has been dubbed the "Valley of the Racehorse", and this is displayed on the road signs leading into the village.[15] In 2006 the Jockey Club Estates Ltd bought 500 acres of land in the valley, its first investment outside Newmarket, including Mandown and many other gallops and training grounds[16]

The most common explanation for the name of Lambourn refers to the lambs which were once dipped in the local river.[18] Many spellings have been used over the centuries, such as Lamburnan (880 AD), Lamburna (1086 AD), Lamborne (1644 AD) and Lambourne. It was also called Chipping Lambourn because of its popular market. The spelling was fixed as 'Lambourn' in the early 20th century, but even today, towards Soley, three successive signposts at nearby junctions alternate the spelling of Lambourn and Lambourne. Lower Lambourn was known as Bockhampton, but it was destroyed in the 16th century as the land was absorbed into the Bockhampton Manor House estate.[19] Strangely, there is a modern road sign for Bockhampton on the Newbury Road pointing down Bockhampton Road to the site of the village.
Seven Barrows
Lambourn is famous for its 'Seven Barrows', just above Upper Lambourn. There are actually over thirty Bronze Age burial mounds forming a large prehistoric cemetery. On a line to the west of Seven Barrows is the Long Barrow, which dates from c4,000 BC making it 2,000 years older than the other barrows. Unfortunately it has been half destroyed by deep ploughing and only the mound in the woods and a few sarsen stones remain.[20] A small hoard of Bronze Age gold, comprising three bracelets and two 'armlets', was found in the parish in 2004, and was declared as treasure at a subsequent inquest.[21] In Roman times, the area was extensively farmed, as shown by an archaeological research project based on Maddle Farm. Ermin Street, the major Roman road between Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester) and Glevum (Gloucester), also known as the "Upper or Baydon Road" passes through Lambourn Woodlands as part of the B4000.
Church and almshouses
...the Downs themselves shelter Lambourn's massive Norman nave.[22]
The mainly Norman parish church (Church of England) is in the village centre, with a surrounding wall built of sarsen stones, and is dedicated to St Michael and All Angels. The road pattern shows an original circular enclosure, suggesting pagan Celtic origins. Alfred the Great, born in Wantage, was also closely connected with the church and mentioned it in his will. It was probably King Canute who granted Lambourn Church to the Dean of St Paul's. Successors to that office held it until 1836. Inside are monuments to the great and the good of the many manors in the parish, including an excellent brass to John Estbury (1508), who founded the almshouses outside, and fine effigies of Sir Thomas Essex and his wife (1558). The almshouses were established by an Act of Parliament in the reign of King Henry VII and confirmed by his son King Henry VIII after the Dissolution of the Monasteries made the original uncertain as it included a now forbidden chantry.[23] There is an arch with mediaeval carvings of hunting scenes. The church was much restored in the 19th century and has a chancel roof designed by G. E. Street. The church also boasts a fine three-manual Henry Willis organ.
The Anarchy
The Empress Matilda bequeathed Lambourn and Chippenham to Hugh de Plucket out of the Royal demesne in 1142 for his aid in The Anarchy of the civil wars against the usurper Stephen of Blois.[24] However, another Breton adventurer Josce de Dinan and his knights retreated to Lambourn after he lost Ludlow Castle to Roger de Lacey and Maltida's son King Henry II gave him Chipping Lambourn in compensation in 1156.[25] Josce died in 1162 AD and in either case the Plunket family were in possession of the Manor by the beginning of the 14th century.[26]
English Civil War
During the Civil War Prince Rupert and his Cavaliers rested at Lambourn on the night of 18th and 19th September 1643, between fighting a skirmish with the Parliamentarian Army at Aldbourne Chase on the 18th and the First Battle of Newbury on the 20th.[27] Queen Henrietta Maria stayed at Kingswood House on 18th April 1644 en route to Exeter, having said her final farewell to her husband King Charles I a few days before at Oxford.[28] Kingswood was an Elizabethan manor house which was demolished a long time ago and replaced by the current Kingswood House Stables. On 9th November 1644 King Charles and the Royalist Army relieved Donnington Castle in the face of the Army of the Eastern Association led by the Earl of Manchester and Oliver Cromwell. Thereafter he withdrew to Lambourn and stayed in "The King's Chamber" at Kingswood House, while the Royalist infantry were quartered in Lambourn and the cavalry at Wantage. The Parliamentarian Scoutmaster Sir Samuel Luke reported "Monday. 11 November 1644. The last night the King's head-quarters were at Wantage and Lamborne ... all the foot that which lay at Lamborne marcht away this morning towards Auborne".[29]
The Luddites and Captain Swing
There were Captain Swing anti-machinery riots in Lambourn in 1832-33. It was said that 'there would be no good times at Lambourn until there was a good fire' and several farm buildings were burned by Luddite agricultural labourers whose wages had been slashed by the introduction of machinery.[30] The Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawn wrote 'A threshing machine was broken at Lambourn; and from there the movement spread south to Eastbury and East Garston, where money was collected and several machines were destroyed'.[31] The labourers demanded 40 shillings for their loss of earnings and an increase in wages from 8 shillings to 12 shillings a week. They threatened to burn down farm buildings if they were not paid and ten machines were destroyed in the Lambourn Valley from Fawley to Boxford and the movement spread northwards to the Vale of the White Horse and the Thames Valley.
Second World War plane crash
On 8th September 1944 a stricken B-24 Liberator flown by 2nd Lt Lawrence Berkoff DFC of the 856th Bombardment Squadron, 492d Bombardment Group (the Carpetbaggers), Eighth Air Force, USAAF was returning from an aborted mission. Berkoff maintained control of the plane so that his crew could parachute to safety over Baydon, but saw that if he bailed out the plane would crash into Lambourn. He therefore remained at the controls to divert the aircraft and was killed when it crash-landed in a field on Folly Road at 10:45 pm, missing the village by a few hundred yards. Berkoff was awarded a posthumous Distinguished Flying Cross and a plaque in his honour was unveiled by his great nephew Todd Berkoff at Lambourn Memorial Hall on the 26th June 2003.[32]
1953 lorry crash
On Tuesday the 13th April 1953 an articulated lorry carrying 3,600 gallons of aviation fuel suffered brake failure as it came down Hungerford Hill (now the B4000). Despite the best efforts of the driver it hit several building before overturning on the Oxford Road. The lorry exploded, destroying the tobacconist's, confectioner's, watchmaker's, jeweller's and antique dealer's shops, but only the driver was killed. The burning fuel set fire to three houses, two thatched cottages, several flats and 37 people were made homeless. It also flowed down the street and into the River Lambourn and set fire to property up to 50 yards way until the Newbury, Hungerford, Wantage, Swindon and Farringdon Fire Brigades came to help the local Lambourn Fire Brigade and brought the fires under control.[33]
1971 lurcher show
The first dog show for lurchers was held at Lambourn in 1971, which included dog racing and coursing.[34]
1991 motorway crash
At 14:15 hours on Wednesday 13th March 1991 there was a major crash on the M4 Motorway in the southernmost part of Lambourn between the Membury Service Station and Junction 14 on the eastbound carriageway. A van driver fell asleep at the wheel and stopped alongside the central crash barrier on the right hand (overtaking) lane. This obstruction was seen by the car behind him, which managed to change lanes and avoid contact. However, the cars behind where travelling at high speed (an average of 70 miles (110 km) per hour) in patchy fog and many were only one or two car lengths behind the vehicle in front. As a result they had no time to avoid the van, crashed and span out of control into the other lanes. Others took evasive action by driving onto the hard shoulder and up the sides of the cutting. These were followed by articulated lorries, one of which jack-knifed sideways across all three lanes of the motorway. One driver - Mr Alan Bateman - managed to free himself from his car and ran back down the central reservation to warn others, but was ignored and was even hooted by some drivers as they continued towards the crash.[35] The crash included 51 vehicles and lasted 19 seconds, car fuel was ignited along with the combustible material being carried in one of the vans and the eastbound motorway was closed for four days as the melted wreckage was cut away and the tarmac replaced. Ten people were killed and 25 were injured - more than the British casualties in the recent Gulf War[36] - and there were three minor crashes caused by distracted drivers on the other side of the motorway. In Parliament Sir Michael McNair-Wilson MP asked why the Thames Valley and Wiltshire Police Forces had not turned on the motorway hazard lights to warn drivers of the fog, but the Secretary of State for Transport Mr Christopher Chope MP stated that these were only used for hazards not readily apparent to drivers and not adverse weather conditions.[37] The crash led to hazard lights being used to warn drivers of fog on British motorways.
Lambourn is mentioned in the poetry of Hilaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton, the Georgian poet John Freeman wrote "Lambourn Town" and Sir John Betjeman "Upper Lambourne". In the 1960s and 1970s the crime writer Dick Francis lived in a bungalow near Lambourn which he built himself using the money he earned as a jockey.[38]. He set several of his novels in and around Lambourn, using both real and fictional names for the locations.

Lahore, Jan 18(ANI): Aasia Bibi, the Pakistani-Christian woman sentenced to death on blasphemy charges, may be shifted to an all-women prison due to security concerns.
The Punjab government is likely to shift Aasia from Sheikhupura district jail to an all-women jail in Multan, The Express Tribune reports.
The transfer will take place at night under heavy security within the next seven days.
In Sheikhupura, there were fears that male prisoners could hurt her, but she would be safe in a women-only jail, a jail department official said.
The Punjab Home Department would direct the Inspector General of Police to provide heavy security for the transfer, he added.
A 45-year-old Christian woman and a mother of five, Aasia was sentenced to death by an additional district and sessions judge in Sheikhupura last year for allegedly making derogatory remarks about the Holy Prophet (pbuh).
The incident took place on June 14, 2009, and an FIR was registered against her under 295-C of Pakistan Penal Code in the Saddar Police Station of Nankana Sahib town on June 19 of the same year.
There have been concerns over Aasia's safety following the brutal assassination of Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer.
Earlier this month, Taseer was assassinated by Qadri, one of his own elite security force protectors, who opened fire on him when he was moving towards his car in Kohsar Market, Islamabad.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Qadri had confessed to assassinating Taseer because of the governor's support for Aasia's release. (ANI)

The Blue Lamp (1949)
Shipping Destinations for this item
Sorry, this product is currently unavailable.
The film concentrates on interrelated episodes in the lives of several London policemen. Jack Warner heads the cast as George Dixon, a veteran 'bobby' who is murdered by small-time delinquents Dirk Bogarde and Patrick Doonan. Rookie cop Jimmy Hanley, who'd looked upon Warner as a father figure, embarks on a perilous search to bring Dixon's killers to justice.
Shot in a pioneering semi-documentary style that focuses on ordinary heroes, the film offers an insightful examination of a new breed of young criminal, hardened by the war years, whose recklessness and violence contrasts with the discipline of the older criminal fraternity. Jack Warner's George Dixon made a remarkable recovery from his untimely death, becoming known to millions of TV viewers as Dixon.

This is when less is more. Just a down to earth story of policing in London after the war with ordinary men doing a job as best they can. Incredibly poignant and sad in places. Filmed on location, it shows London at work, rest and play while we enjoy the dramatic events unfolding. A lot of people have called this their favourite film.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU continues to climb up polls following latest win, at No. 17 in BCS
Another win, another climb up the national polls for Todd Graham and the ASU Sun Devils (8-2, 6-1).
After Saturday night's convincing 30-17 victory over the Oregon State Beavers, ASU finds itself ranked No. 17 in the BCS Standings, No. 19 in the AP Top 25, No. 22 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and No. 21 in the Harris Poll.
ASU is one of five Pac-12 teams — Oregon (No. 5), Stanford (No. 10), UCLA (No. 14) and USC (No. 23) — ranked in the AP Top 25 poll.
The Sun Devils are currently on a five-game win streak — their longest win streak since the 2007 campaign. That season, ASU raced out to an 8-0 record before finishing 10-3 after a loss to Texas in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.
Next up for Graham's squad is a date with UCLA (Nov. 23) at the Rose Bowl. If the Sun Devils win, they will represent the Pac-12 South in the conference title game on Dec. 7.

A Sobering Message About Free Will and Addiction Recovery
By Wray Herbert,
"On the one hand, newly sober addicts and alcoholics often hear the news that two of every three of them will ultimately relapse. … On the other hand, this folk wis-dom can also be heard echoing through the rooms of recovery: "Relapse is not a requirement."
" … [M]ounting evidence is making one thing clear: The belief in free will—or the disbelief—is itself a powerful cognitive force, shaping everything from aggression to honesty to feelings of personal responsibility. The newest findings from this line of research are now suggesting that attitudes toward free will (or genetic determinism) may actually influence the intention to act voluntarily (or lack of it), right down in the brain's motor neurons.
Promoting Your Practice: Search-Engine Optimization
By Sara K. Sims, Director of Business Development
I hope you've taken my advice from the "Promoting Your Practice" article in the March issue of The Advocate and gotten yourself a website. Once you have a website that's professional, inviting, and content-rich, it's time to grow your practice. In marketing your website, the goal is to get a high search-engine ranking. If you do it right, when someone Googles "therapy" along with the name of your city, your website will show up on the first page of "hits." And since many people only look at the first page of hits when they do an online search, it's important that your website be there.

|Teacher Sample
Once again - inspired by a pin.
So to begin this project I discuss what "value" is with my second graders and we talk about the differences between a "tint" and a "shade".
Then I pass out the papers and sit a cup of blue paint on each table. Each pair of students is also given a styrofoam plate with their own puddle of white tempera on it. We begin by painting a white moon on our page. Then once that is added, students dip their brushes into the blue paint at their table and mix it into their white paint - the first concentric circle is painted around the moon with this color (a very light tint of blue). This process is repeated until the entire page is filled with blue concentric circles.
|Snowmen at Night
Then the next day I have my students meet me on the carpet to read the book "Snowmen at Night" by Caralyn Buehner. The illustrations in this book are a beautiful example of how tints and shades can be used to create the illusion of depth in a 2D artwork (with the use of highlights and shadows). We also talk about using a light source (like the moon) to position highlights and shadows more accurately. Students then go back to their tables and use white paint to add the bodies of snowmen to their artwork. A streak of light blue is added for the shadow on the backside of the snowman.
|Great extension book! :)
Once they finished, I had my students flip their papers over and do a little bit of creative writing about their winter landscapes on the back.
Overall I am SO happy with my 2nd graders artwork! Absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to do this project again next week with a new batch!

Prepare meals in the gourmet kitchen or enjoy cocktails mixed at the wet bar in the timber frame Great Room with Steinway piano and a towering granite fireplace competing for attention with the all encompassing water views. Dine with your family and friends in a one of a kind dining room nestled between two walls of windows with french doors to bring the outdoors in and a table-side fire perfecting the atmosphere and warming you from the evening sea breeze..
A yachter's dream, there is a 120' floating dock with 10' of deep water at low tide as well as two moorings. A classic 'hurricane hole' of protected anchorage. The dock is sometimes shared with the owner when they are in town and staying at the second house on the vast property. If you are lucky enough to be staying at that time, do not be surprised if your offered a private water tour of the local area.
Watch the seals basking on the rocks from one of two private second floor balconies and be on the lookout for one of the numerous Bald Eagles who frequent the treetops surrounding the house. Explore the 35 acre estate; discovering beautifully landscaped gardens, private coves, swim float, fresh water pond, hot tub, swimming pool, basketball and tennis court, complete with pitching machine. If there are adventurers in your group they may choose to spend a night roughing it in the two story treehouse complete with electricity, kingsize bed, and two daybeds. Walk the numerous private nature trails including a full mile of scenic coastline while looking for local wildlife or paddle the rugged Maine coast while kayaking.
Located on the southern peninsula of Dingley Island, but connected to the mainland via bridge for a short drive to local dining, theaters, galleries, museums and shopping or catch the DownEaster Train to Boston for the day. Nearby Brunswick (according to the Smithsonian Magazine, one of America's best small towns in 2012) and Bath are only 15 minutes away and historic Portland is only 40 minutes. Although one would wonder why you would ever want to leave.
**NOTE** There is a 2nd home on the estate, not available for rent, where the owner's long retired parents live year round. The two homes are nicely separated, not visible from each other, sharing only the same 3/4 mile long private driveway and the dock, so you might see my family members using the dock to take out our boats (holler and you might get a ride!).

Why Harpswell, ME, USA:
My wife and I were living and working long hours in NYC in 1993 and wanted a weekend getaway haven, kind of like the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard … but not filled with other New Yorkers. I grew up in Maine, my wife and I are alumni of Bowdoin College, so we both love Maine and Mainers particularly. We scouted real estate for two years. We wanted a place very easy to get to for a weekend, yet an authentic Maine experience. This property met both of those requirements. There is excellent air service to Portland – it's less than a one hour flight (35 minutes in the air) from NYC and then a 45 minute drive. So in a couple of hours, suddenly you are not in Manhattan anymore; you are on an ISLAND IN MAINE, with your own private 35 acres and a hard-to-believe mile of your own coast line, complete with a dock, tennis court, and miles of nature trails. We would fly up Friday afternoon and catch a very early flight Monday morning in time to be back to work. Once you are there, you're on a very remote-feeling island, surrounded by other islands, but you can drive there (there's a bridge). The minute we get out of the car, the unmistakable pine and salt water-scented Maine air suddenly envelopes us. I think this might be my favorite part of the whole experience. Instantly, you are really in Maine. Our property is a narrow peninsula with a long private driveway. It's the southern approximately 1/3 of beautiful Dingley Island with its dozen or so other mostly year round residents, including our neighbor, noted furniture maker Thos. Moser. Dingley Island is part of the town of Harpswell, which consists partially of some land contiguous with the mainland, but mostly an archipelago of connected (by bridges) and unconnected nearby islands. As a result, Harpswell has about 216 miles of coast, more than any other town in the United States.

The Unique Benefits at this Estate:
Authentic Maine Experience. While there are seasonal residents on Dingley Island and in Harpswell, what we love is that our neighbors are mostly year-round residents, many of them fishermen, so it's a fun to look out the window and regularly see lobster fisherman and clammers at work. So, it's the real Maine experience, as opposed to a little more touristy experience you'd likely get if you were to go to the other many beautiful places in Maine like Bar Harbor or Camden. We spend a lot of time on the dock hanging out, swimming or fishing for striped bass (you can catch them right off the dock with a fly rod), exploring the coast with our sailboat, motor boats, or kayaks, and walking the beautiful trails. The trails are a mix of marked coastal and interior trails featuring beautiful water views and deep woods with old growth pine, spruce, cedars, and birches and a deep spongy carpet of lichen, moss, and pine needles. If we decide to go "off island", which is pretty rare, we enjoy driving or boating around Harpwell taking in the beautiful scenary, going to the 3-4 lobster restaurants, or hiking the land trust owned trails. Civilization is only 10-12 minutes away at Cook' Corner with its Starbucks, bookstore, eight-plex movie theatre, supermarket, and hospital. Brunswick and Bath are only another 5 minutes away and Freeport another 10-15 minutes. Brunswick, home of Bowdoin, is a beautiful historic college town is overrepresented with nice restaurants, shops, galleries, wine bars, brew pubs, and services. We regularly go to the weekly farmers' market on Brunswick's village green. We are very lucky to have two independent art house movie theatres, the Eveningstar Cinema and Frontier Café (a groovy café, art gallery, exhibition space, and movie theatre), an independent record store, Bull Moose Records, and a great bakery, Wild Oats Bakery. Last year we went to an Edward Hopper exhibit at Bowdoin Art Museum which attracted international attention.

Good card, lotta noise 05/17/2008
This review is from: MSI GeForce 8600 GTS DirectX 10 NX8600GTS Diamond Plus 256MB 128-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Good marks on 3d Mark. Good scalability. Great value for the money. Runs most games very smoothly (depending on your RAM). No trouble installing/ setting the drivers. All in all, this is a great value. it's not the top card, but, it's very nice and for 100 bucks you cannot beat it.
it is LOUD. The fan runs at one speed "VERY FAST" which just happens to mirror "very loud". I got this for my wife's machine, and it's inside her desk (well insulated) so it really doesn't have much of an impact apart from the HEAT that blows from behind her desk. Otherwise, no cons.
Other Thoughts:
For the price, this is almost too good to be true. If you're looking for a card for a 2ndary box, your kids or your wife (who doesn't play a lot) this is ideal. It's not a bad choice for the primary box if you're in a pinch. it'll do whatever you need it to.

Tom LaSorda has left Chrysler and more senior managers are ready to go, too. The question is, who will be left once the company goes through its Chapter 11 bankruptcy process?
LaSorda, the Windsor-born son of a union leader, surely endured the worst 2.5 years of his life up to his departure this week. He was miscast as salesman-in-chief, peddling Chrysler around the world to any car company that would listen. But like the good soldier he's always been, he persevered.
A soft-spoken manufacturing expert, LaSorda rose to become Chrysler CEO under the German owners, Daimler AG. Then when Cerberus Capital Management took over, he took a demotion to vice-chairman and president. Again, the good soldier.
The last 2.5 years must have been horrible for him. According to documents filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court and reported in Automotive News, LaSorda spent most of his time looking for a partner or a buyer for Chrysler.
Before Fiat S.p.A. said yes - sort of -- LaSorda had detailed discussions with Nissan-Renault and General Motors. He also looked for various tie-ups with Toyota Motor Corp., Volkswagen AG, India's Tata Motors (Jaguar and Land Rover's owners), South Korea's Hyundai-Kia Automotive Group, Canada's Magna International Inc., and even Russian auto maker GAZ.
No one was interested, other than Fiat. Honda would not even agree to a meeting between its president and LaSorda, says Automotive News.
So any suggestion that Cerberus was committed to rebuilding Chrysler rings false. Apparently the Cerberus plan was to buy a controlling (80.1 per cent stake) in Chrysler, dress the company up as best it could, then find a buyer or partner to sweep in and take over - hopefully at a profit for the leveraged buyout folks at Cerberus. This is the model for leveraged buyouts. Clearly, Cerberus did NOT want to own and run a car company.
LaSorda seems an odd choice as top salesman. Officially, he had been in charge of manufacturing, procurement and supply, employee relations, global business development and alliances since August 2007.
But most of his time was spent in "global business development." As I read it, that means he was intimately involved in unwinding Cerberus from Chrysler and he went to work on this almost from day one.
If there are any tears for LaSorda, they are of the crocodile variety. He's been well compensated.
That said, LaSorda was an accomplished "plant guy" and his skills and successes there should not be overlooked. He was the architect of Chrysler's Toledo Supplier Park in Ohio. It integrated suppliers in a close relationship with Chrysler to produce the Jeep Wrangler.
Before Chrysler, he was a top manufacturing executive at GM, including a stint at president of Opel's Eisenach plant in eastern Germany. He was well respected for his manufacturing expertise.
Who is next to go at Chrysler? Bob Nardelli, the Chrysler chairman and CEO and former chief hardware salesman at Home Depot. He has said he will step down after Chrysler completes its time in Chapter 11. If Fiat comes in and essentially takes over, Fiat chief Sergio Marchionne is expected to become chief executive of the new Chrysler.
Marchionne, by the way, is a Canadian and a University of Windsor graduate. As far as the nationality of the top executive is concerned, Chrysler then will have come full circle.Report Typo/Error

First Pitch
First Pitch: The Road to Contending Goes Through Milwaukee
First Pitch
For the past two years I've had the same thought about the Milwaukee Brewers and what they say about the Pirates' chances. The thought is always "if the Pirates can beat the Brewers, they'll show they are legit this year". Last year the Pirates went 4-11 against Milwaukee, including a 1-8 record in the final two months of the season. They went 3-6 on the road at Miller Park.
It would be accurate to say that if the Pirates could have beaten the Brewers, they would have been contenders. Make that 11-4 and the Pirates finish with 86 wins, which still would have missed the playoffs, but would have snapped the losing streak. But you could also play that game with San Diego (Pirates were 1-5 last year), the New York Mets (2-5), or the Dodgers (1-6). I was thinking about this last night, after...

Speedy Hire shares collapsed on Friday following Thursday night's revelation that chief executive Steve Corcoran was out the door after accounting irregularities were revealed.
A £5m balance-sheet black hole at the construction firm led to his resignation, along with the suspension of the finance director of the international division, and the early morning falls continued throughout the day with shares closing down 14p, or 22 per cent, at 50.5p.
The company discovered the "mis-statement of a number of accounting balances" with control mechanisms "repeatedly and deliberately circumvented".
Overall, the FTSE 100 closed down 4 points at 6,651. As November comes to an end, it means that the blue-chip index has suffered its first monthly fall since August.
The biggest faller pulling the market down was credit-rating specialist Experian, down 32p, at 1,127p, following a downgrade by Goldman Sachs, who said the stock's valuation was too high, moving from neutral to sell.
Over in the South Atlantic, the Falkland Islands oil explorers suffered following the news that the Argentinian government passed a law making oil exploration in the region punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
Falkland Oil and Gas closed down 0.25p at 27p; Desire Petroleum fell by 0.25p to 16p and Rockhopper closed 1.75p behind at 144.5p.
The British Foreign Office said the UK "unequivocally supports the right of the Falkland Islanders to develop their natural resources for their own economic benefit" and challenged the legitimacy of the law.
There was also mixed news for another oil explorer, Tullow Oil, which found the black stuff in northern Kenya but had to abandon a well in the Norwegian Arctic after it came up dry. Its shares closed up 5p at 869.5p.
The two London-listed energy firms in the so-called "Big Six" were hit by news that the Government is considering asking suppliers to freeze prices until 2015. British Gas's owner, Centrica, dropped 3.2p to 338.3p, while SSE fell 22p to 1,327p.

Severin may have only been together just over a year, yet the London-based duo seemingly have a catalogue of sonic expeditions and ideas in spades. Borne out of shared love of experimental electronica, swirling noise rock and cascading beats, the twosome - Elizabeth Martin and Danny Sanchez, have conjured up an exhilarating concoction of sounds that recall past exponents of genre cross pollination such as Curve and Bang Bang Machine, while casting one eye firmly on the future that lies ahead.

Tender, But With Teeth (tekla)
Eyes flashed a brilliant red in the candlelight as he watched the shadows surrounding him. They grazed his shoulder, nicking slightly as they made their way to his throat. There was no pain, just pleasure. Others nipped at his arms and legs, leaving his skin mottled with blood. In his delusional mind, he was loving and caring for them and would forever had it been his choice. He had thought himself their master and still did as he slipped away quietly.

Amid a flurry of other activity Thursday, the state Assembly passed a bill aimed at cracking down on bullying and improving school safety.
The Senate passed the bill in October, meaning it's now headed for Gov. Jim Doyle's desk.
If signed into law, school boards would be required to develop anti-bullying policies, including procedures for investigating and disciplining bullying activity. A late amendment attempt to subject school officials who failed to report a bullying incident to a $200 forfeiture narrowly failed in the Assembly.
In addition, the bill requires public and private schools to develop school safety plans and it breaks down barriers between schools and law enforcement in the exchange of personal student data.
A Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimate said the cost of the proposal was undetermined. But it received fairly wide support in both the Senate and the Assembly.
Only three senators voted against it in the Senate; it was carried by a 71-26 vote in the Assembly.
