"I loved this postcard and it was delivered really quickly. The design and paper quality was perfect and would hold up to being throwin in the mail."
"I wanted these to coordinate with contact cards I had already ordered, and asked the design staff to alter the colors of the text, to de-emphasize my necessary, but seldom used first name. Imagine my surprise when I received a phone call (!) from the designer to discuss my needs! The note/thank you cards came in exactly as I had hoped, and I'm now about to order more as hostess gifts. The quality of the paper, and the print work is beyond reproach. As for those - and I've seen a few - who complained about the size of the product: it's noted in the description! If in doubt, cut a piece of paper to those dimensions in order to see what you're ordering :) Thank you Tiny Prints for superior quality and service. You have a customer for life!"

Distinquishing #'s in nested pure functions
Is there a way to distinguish the #'s in nested pure functions?
As a simple example:
f[x_, y_] := x - y
Select[{1, 2, 3}, (f[#, #] & /@ {-1, -2, -3}) == {3, 4, 5} &]
I want the 1st # to correspond with the outer & (the equal)
and the 2nd # with the inner & (the map)
The answer in this example should by {2}
(of course, the statement as written above does not do the job)
Can Mathematica distinguish these #'s?
Thanks in advance,
Dave Snead

They're Both Jerks: How Twitter Judged the 'Knee Defender' FightBy
By now you've certainly heard that United Airlines kicked a pair of passengers off a flight for fighting over space. One of the passengers had installed a "Knee Defender"—a device that prevented the seat in front of him from reclining. The passenger in the now-immovable seat threw a fit—and her cup of water—at the man behind her.
In the public debate that raged, opinions were passionate—and divided. Was the knee defender within his rights? Was the water thrower justified? We turned to social media intelligence company Brandwatch to help us allocate the blame. By measuring data from Twitter, we can see that the public sided with … neither of them. "The public deemed both as having selfish motivators and reactions," said Dinah Alobeid, a spokesperson for Brandwatch.
United Airlines, it appeared, had done a good job dodging the critics—until the inventor of the Knee Defender, Ira Goldman, called out United and other airlines for shrinking legrooms. That resonates, doesn't it? The media and the public thought so, and switched their focus from the badly behaved passengers to the airline industry.
Men dominated the Twitter conversation almost two to one. The most tweeted hashtag was about the Knee Defender itself; after the kerfuffle, sales of the gadget spiked "substantially," Goldman told Bloomberg News. Here were the most used hashtags for this mess, in ranked order:
Between the two passengers, analysis showed that Twitter users took a harsher stance toward the man who installed the Knee Defender. Alobeid points out that "three times as many people online have voiced that they think the male passenger is more of a jerk than the female passenger." May they both be stuck at the airport for a long time.

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. has entered into an agreement with the Maxwell Football Club (MFC) to be the 2012 Presenting Sponsor of the Chuck Bednarik Award presented to the Outstanding Collegiate Defensive Player of the Year.
Founded in 1935, the Maxwell Football Club is the oldest football organization of its kind in America. The MFC presents several of the most prestigious awards in the football world at both the college and professional levels. The Chuck Bednarik Award was established in 1995 in honor of Philadelphia Eagles legend Chuck Bednarik. Nicknamed "Concrete Charlie," Bednarik was a stand out on both offense and defense during his 14 year NFL career. He was selected to the All Pro team 10 times and is generally recognized as the last of the true "60 Minute Men" as a starter on both offense and defense. As a collegiate player, Bednarik was a two time All American at the University of Pennsylvania and was selected as the 1948 Maxwell Award as the Outstanding Player in College Football. He is a member of both the College and NFL Hall of Fame. Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern) was the first winner of the Bednarik Award in 1995.
"Many of our guests are serious collegiate sports fans and we offer a variety of collegiate apparel, décor, rockers, food, cookware and accessories related to their favorite schools," said Associate Marketing Manager Christine Poss. "This year, as we announce our MFC sponsorship, we think our guests will really cheer about their opportunity to win one of three trips for two to Atlantic City in March 2013 for the Maxwell Football Club National Awards Gala. In addition, the Maxwell Club is offering a first time membership to Cracker Barrel guests at a substantially reduced price, a benefit we think they will appreciate. Cracker Barrel guests can get this membership for $14.99 rather than the usual $35.00 cost. This membership gives fans a chance to vote on these time- honored awards." To find out how to enter the "Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Football Fan Getaway" sweepstakes and view complete details, see Official Rules at www.crackerbarrel.com/footballfangetaway.

"It is a tremendous honor to announce Cracker Barrel Old Country Store as the presenting sponsor of the Chuck Bednarik Award," said MFC Executive Director Mark Wolpert. "The sponsorship will allow us to build our presence nationwide and offer Cracker Barrel guests the opportunity to become actively involved in our organization and programs. Cracker Barrel has a tremendous presence in geographic locations where there is high interest in college football so in my mind it is a natural fit for them to engage in a sponsorship of this type. We look forward to engaging their guest base and building excitement as we enter the college football season."

All food, litter, and medical expenses will be paid for by HOFA- you provide the love!
Why foster a ferret? Aren't sure a ferret is the right pet for you? Fostering is a great way to test ferret ownership before committing to adoption. Maybe you'd like to have ferrets but can't afford them? Then fostering would be an ideal choice! If you've ever fallen in love with a ferret, fostering a ferret in need will be one of your most rewarding experiences. And the more foster parents we have, the more ferrets we can rescue, rehabilitate, and find wonderful permanent homes for.
Where can I sign up! If you're up to the challenge and the joy of being a foster parent, or have any questions about fostering, you can email our Shelter Chair at firstname.lastname@example.com, or our President at email@example.com, OR leave us a message at (614) 428-0279.

Prince to Shower Purple Rain on Pirate Bay, eBay and YouTube
Jason Mick
November 19, 2007 3:56 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Prince is know for his unusual sense of style and funky jams, loving and partying. Now he be known in the file sharing community as "the man".
(Source: Prince)
The prince tells the Pirate Bay "Party over, oops out of time"
The Pirate Bay is the Internet's largest Torrent tracker, and has been for some time now. However while other trackers and piracy advocates tend not last very long, The Pirate Bay is actively stirring the pot.
For a short time the organization
tried to raise money to buy the island nation of Sealand
, and more recently it
obtained the ifpi.com domain
, formerly occupied by the IFPI, the RIAA's parent affiliate. However, its legal battles have come to boil, with Swedish authorities issuing charges against
five Pirate Bay admins
-- only two of which have actually been identified.
Now The Pirate Bay has a surprising new nemesis in the form of the chest-baring, fashioning setting, funk-rock jammer Prince. Prince, recently gave away his album for free in the British newspaper the
Mail On Sunday
infuriating his record label
Now Prince has taken a surprising stand in the other direction.
Prince Rogers Nelson sees it as his right to defend his copyrights against all who might dare commit what he sees as infringements upon them.
Prince plans to
launch a triad of attacks
, with lawsuits in the U.S., Sweden, and France (France, being known for its strong copyright protections), which aims to put The Pirate Bay's funky feel-good days to an end. Prince is also suing companies who advertise on The Pirate Bay.
Prince added some hired guns in the form of John Giacobbi, President of Web Sheriff, and the rest of Web Sheriff to help coordinate his fiery legal onslaught upon on the pirates.
Giacobbi already launched into allegations stating that The Pirate Bay makes $70,000 monthly in advertising revenue, a charge The Pirate Bay denies.
The Pirate Bay is not the only one who Prince is hoping to make cry like a wounded dove. Prince stated his desire to "reclaim the Internet" and in recent months has become a champion for militant copyright protection, announcing that he would take
legal action against YouTube and Ebay
, as well as The Pirate Bay.
YouTube chief counsel, Zahavah Levine, apparently unimpressed by Prince's legal wrath issued a unconcerned response, "Most content owners understand that we respect copyrights. We work every day to help them manage their content, and we are developing state-of-the-art tools to let them do that even better. We have great partnerships with major music labels all over world that understand the benefit of using YouTube as another way to communicate with their fans."
The Pirate Bay also responded, with Pirate Bay admin brokep stating that the organization was not been contacted by Prince, and that Web Sheriff has been sending them take down notices for a prolonged period, which The Pirate Bay's filtering software conveniently trashes.
However, even with the world's greatest funkmaster on their heels, all is business as usual at The Pirate Bay. Just last week prosecuters in Sweden
vowed to take action against the organization
, even though the site continues to adhere to Swedsh copyright laws.
Giacobbi, of Web Sheriff countered, "They'll either have to come out and fight or just try and ignore it. In that case, we're going to win a default judgment against them. This could be a ticking time bomb for them. They can't outrun this. We are very confident."
There have also been
unconfirmed reports
of Prince shutting down fan web sites for use of his images, lyrics, songs, or likeness.

Most of the iPad 3 stuff we've heard already, but the Fresh Prince of rumors now is that the iPhone 5 has lost its teardrop shape, that was supposedly in a prototype canned this year by Steve Jobs himself. It is now allegedly 0.31" (8mm) longer, in order to accommodate a larger 4" display, and will have metal casing. That one could be aluminum, or maybe it will be that Liquid Metal alloy stuff that Apple bought, which keeps the same color even if you scratch it deep, like Nokia's new polycarbonate chassis on the Lumia 800 Windows Phone.
All rumors and speculation at this point, and will likely stay that way until next summer, when the iPhone 5 is said to be released, but we'll undoubtedly have fun guessing in the meantime.

In a study published in an upcoming issue of The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry researchers show that over reactive parenting, such as heavy criticism or yelling as a response to a child's negative behavior, can produce higher levels of aggression or rule-breaking in a child who is normally introverted, non-benevolent, non-conscientious, or imaginative. Children who are extraverted, benevolent, conscientious, or not that imaginative by nature are least adversely affected by this parental response.
The research (taken from 586 families) shows that rule-breaking and aggressive behavior is influenced by the inherent personality traits of a child. The study also shows that aggression-related behavior generally decreases as the children grow but on average the rule-breaking behavior does not change, and both genders exhibit these behaviors between the ages six to fifteen. When examining both personality and gender boys and girls are not different affected by parenting methods.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- How do I (teach my dog to)? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/how-do-i-teach-my-dog/)
- - Counter surfing (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/how-do-i-teach-my-dog/467665-counter-surfing.html)
Counter surfing
As I've mentioned, Zeus is still adjusting to a house with rules. One of his worst habits is jumping up on the counter, (and the couch, and chewing up headphones which I need to remember to leave out of his reach but that is a separate issue) So I try and leave the counter as clear as I can to discourage him from doing it. I'm told that eventually when he stops being rewarded by finding things to chew on and eat he will stop doing this. Thing is, about how long a process is this? Should I just keep doing what I'm doing or are there things to help the process along? I do have some of the keep off spray but it is horrible, I don't really want it on the counters. I could keep him away from the counters if I really needed to, but eventually would like it to not be an issue.
Is there anyway to block his access to the kitchen?
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
He has already improved, for the most part he is good about not doing it when we are home. It was obvious that he was never told to not do this before. It is when we are away that he does it now.
We tried a dog gate. He climbs over it. I would try crate training, but my boyfriend is very much against it. See his sister had a dog that was crate trained and it ended up losing most of its teeth trying to get out of the crate. So that's not really an option. I tried soda cans, but he chewed one up. Didn't eat any of it, but I don't want to risk that happening again. I was searching around for some ideas and found this .... Counter Surfing and Garbage Raiding | ASPCA
Lots of mouse traps works well for this issue Imo it is the best because there is no connection between the correction and the person They work in the fridge when it figgures out how the door works
I saw that in the article from the ASPCA. They had a "snappy trainer" like a hand that slips onto the mousetrap. That could work, I'm still worried he would end up chewing it.... lol Gotta love teething. :rolleyes:
Thank you very much canyadoit!
Spiascik your are most welcome I had no idea a article was written on this Will have to read it Thanks
Some times they chew the traps Put them far enough back so he can not see them The idea is the counter fridge garbage can bites them
Had a duchie that would pick them out of the garbage She was good at that till I started with the rubbing alcohol on the traps
They do work some will think it's cruel
My male at one time figured out the fridge That was a mess everything was sampled The fridge was loaded with the traps The next day when I got home rhe fridge was open no mess to clean up To this day I can leave the fridge open and he will not go near the inside of the fridge That was eight months ago He also loved clearing the counter Same method same results
The fridge?! Oh no!!! That must have been quite a surprise! lol And quite the intelligent boy you have there. :)
I tried something similar to this just now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoMhen5V9ig I used smaller tupperware containers full of coins. He did it once and now is just staring at the food wondering what happened. I did find a couple of traps downstairs. He seems too wary of them at the moment, but time will tell.
He is making tremendous progress considering that he came from a house with no rules and was there for the first five months of his life. There are times when we leave for hours and nothing is touched. Other days he rips up the plastic bags and once he got a hold of the paper towels. He is however doing very well walking with a loose leash, sitting until released, and even waiting until released before going outside through a door. I just have to be consistent and keep working on everything, if he keeps improving like he has been he will be a terrific dog!:D
Have you read culture clash or any clothier's work ? It is all about comunication dog to human human to dog imo
Something else to try A treat ball with 1/3 ration in it One that the dog has to keep busy at to get the kibble out of Keeps them occupied works their brains and possably keeps him out of mischief
We've got a couple of nylabones and a kong ball that has one of those hard treats in it. Keeps him busy most of the time. I will try and find a good treat ball though, that sounds interesting. I try and rotate out the toys we leave him with too so he doesn't get bored. He sprang the coin treat twice tonight. Now he sniffs it and walks away. haha

I've got a similar problem with my album. I find that there are certain lines that have more personal meaning than other, lines that have more significant photos / memorabilia than other lines. I start with those major lines and go straight back.
Then I'll pick up another line and go straight back. If there are tiny off shoot branches I'll stick those in as well, but if it requires more than two pages I hold off for later. The lines might not always be near each other in relationship to each other, but it keeps each branch straight.
I also start off each branch with a title page/family tree to keep things explained and easier to follow. I used the pages below for that. You might also want to go ahead and plan for multiple albums if you have such an extensive tree (ie. father's side, mother's side, and nuclear family).

Since introducing the Nest Protect: Smoke + Carbon Monoxide alarm, we've heard touching stories from many of you about how we've helped keep you and your families safe. I consider your safety a huge part of my job and it's something I think about and take pride in every day.
At Nest, we conduct regular, rigorous tests to ensure that our products are the highest quality. During recent laboratory testing of the Nest Protect smoke alarm, we observed a unique combination of circumstances that caused us to question whether the Nest Wave (a feature that enables you to turn off your alarm with a wave of the hand) could be unintentionally activated. This could delay an alarm going off if there was a real fire. We identified this problem ourselves and are not aware of any customers who have experienced this, but the fact that it could even potentially happen is extremely important to me and I want to address it immediately.
We feel that the best and safest thing to do is to immediately disable the Nest Wave feature to resolve the issue and remove any safety concerns. While we fix Nest Wave, we have also halted sales of all new Nest Protect alarms to ensure no one buys an alarm that needs an immediate update.

How To Balance Your Dream With Your Freelance BusinessElance_Alex | Jul 07, 2010
Doing what you love, that's what life is all about, right? Ted Bendixson, Elance writer and snowboard-enthusiast, shares his experiences on how he managed to balance his freelancing life with something he truly loves while staying extremely happy.
What do you dream of doing today? The new way to work gives us an astonishing degree of freedom. I got into freelancing because I wanted to create a schedule for myself that allowed me to snowboard every day of the season. With a traditional job, this is practically impossible. People want you to be in the office from 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. This also happens to be the best time to ride. In order to work the hours I wanted, and ride almost every day, I had to come up with a better system.
With time on my hands, a few grand in the bank, and a small client base, I gradually figured it all out. Within two months, I had enough clients to cover my living costs and keep my business afloat, all while snowboarding almost every day. Here are a few of the lessons I learned in the first year of operating my freelance writing business.
Photo by Geno Fonderoli
Get your clients stoked about your passion.
Don't try to hide what you love to do. Be proud of it. Tell your clients about your dream while you're casually discussing business through the Workroom or over Skype and email. When your clients know what you're up to and that you're genuinely excited about it, they will help you set up your schedule so you can do what you love and help them at the same time.
At the start of my freelance career, I wondered if I should try to polish my image and make myself appear more professional. I very quickly threw that idea out the window. It simply wasn't me. I'm not a guy in a suit. I'm a guy who gets out.
Believe it or not, people loved it! I got more clients because of my willingness to show off my passion. Think about it. If you can demonstrate that you are dedicated to something like rock climbing or photography, you are showing your clients that you are someone who gets things done, even in your leisure time. Dreams sell.
Be the most communicative Elancer your clients have ever worked with.
When you aren't out painting the Sistine Chapel, you should be communicating with your clients and delivering your work ahead of schedule. I stay connected during my working hours so my clients can reach me if they need something, and I also answer every email as soon as I receive it so my clients don't feel like I've disappeared.
When you communicate this much, your clients start to trust you. You can just tell them that you're going snowboarding for the day, and you'll get the work done that evening. They'll never have a problem with your schedule because you communicate, and you always deliver the work on time.
Leverage your time away from your dream for increased productivity.
As much as I love to snowboard, I can't do it every day. Guess what I'm doing on the days when I'm too sore to make it up to the mountain?
Days off are great for catching up on projects and marketing yourself to new clients. When you take a day off of pursuing your dream, you shouldn't be sitting on the couch watching reruns of Murder She Wrote. You should be getting ahead of projects and surprising your clients with super fast turnaround times.
If your dream has a season, work longer days during your offseason time. Market yourself more intensely, and get a start on projects you otherwise wouldn't have the time to start. That way, when it's time to pick up your passion again, you won't have to work nearly as much during your time off. You'll be able to enjoy yourself while keeping your obligations to a minimum.
Find clients whose management style aligns with your dream.
Clients come in different shapes and styles. Some clients love to hold multiple meetings in the middle of the day, making sure you are on board with everything they say. Others couldn't care less. I've had a few clients who disappear for weeks at a time, thank me for my work, and then start up another project - only to disappear once more. I like those clients the best.
You don't need a lot of clients to keep your freelance business afloat. You just need a few good ones. If you are working with a client who gives you a surprise project when it's a perfect day for kayaking, you might want to reevaluate the benefit of pursuing that business relationship.
I am in no way advocating leaving any of your clients up the creek without a paddle. If you have decided that your client's management style doesn't jive with your dream, wait until you have received positive feedback on the project to bring up your concern. Try to work something out, but if it doesn't happen, don't worry. There are plenty of clients out there who are just as allergic to meetings as you are. You just need to spend the time it takes to find them.
You should never have to choose between your work and your dreams. Elance gives us a kind of control over our lives that was previously impossible. As more jobs move from the office to the cloud, we are all given the opportunity to structure our schedules however we see fit. For those of us who work hard and keep the lines of communication open, this means being able to do more of what we love when the time is right.
I never thought I would find myself half way across the world in New Zealand, snowboarding almost every day and telling people on the chairlift that I work on the Internet. I am living the dream because of Elance. You can too.

Good job! It made me very happy to read your article, main reason being that this is my dream too and this is the reason why I started working as a freelancer too!
Not everyone who dreams the same ends in the same situation and I wish that I am able to achieve what you have. Of course I would need to be very disciplined to lead this life!
All the best to you!

Simple concept.
Better to be under-trained and fresh, than to be over-trained and drained. A runner who is rested and energetic will race faster than a runner who has put in more miles and/or more intense training, but is tired in the days leading up to the race. Again, simple concept, but an important one for both coaches and athletes.
Related is the topic of burnout. Here is my good friend Patrick Wales-Dinan talking about burnout in high school runners.

I have been treating my kitty for ear mites, over the counter medicine, still black junk being romoved from the ears aft
Asked by
Member 770775

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
My kitten Kira was treated for ear mites at the vet , and she still needed a second treatment 2 weeks later before they were all gone. If your cat still has excessive gunk coming out of her ears, then you're just not killing them with the over the counter stuff and I would call the vet. The medicine they use is stronger than anything you can buy at the store. They are also a lot bolder when it comes to cleaning the gunk out of the ears. I was amazed at how they just dug right in there when I was afraid to go too deep. There is also no way to know for sure that the problem is mites without looking under the microscope. My Bailey's ear gunk looked the same to me so I thought she caught it from Kira, but the vet said hers is just from allergies. No mites were there at all.
Allie answered on 11/20/08. Helpful? / 0
She could also have an ear infection. They're a common side effect of ear mite treatments (and that's when it's vet approved, too). Better take her to the vet, they can determine which it is, and give her what she needs.
Gracie answered on 11/20/08. Helpful? / 0
You need to go to a vet. Often OTC eds do not work. You need to be sure that you are actually seeing mites and not an infection. NEVER put anything into the ear without consulting a vet. If there is a rupture in the eardrum you could be doing more damage than good.
Hunter answered on 11/21/08. Helpful? / 0
Ear mites are very common in the Fall and are difficult to treat. It could take up to one full month to treat and the treatment must be constant. I really think that you should have a veterinarian give the ears a good cleaning and then be constant with the treatment the vet prescribes.

I already knew some of the differences but after looking at this page https://www.tivo.com/shop/roamio#tab1 I found out about the MoCA bridge and remote finder that I didn't know. Since I'm Ethernet wired, I have a Sling, I can live with 4 tuners and all the other listed differences (read HD) don't mean much to me. I think the basic is the right choice in my case. Aside form the physical aspect, are there any other differences in between the basic and the plus versions?

Music at Fieldcote brings a variety of performers to outdoor stage

By Debra Downey, Senior Editor

The sounds of summer will ring out once again in July and August at Fieldcote Memorial Park and Museum.

Music at Fieldcote is set to get toes tapping and bodies swaying on eight consecutive Sunday evenings. Up next on the outdoor stage performance schedule is Stuart Laughton on July 13, 7-8:30 p.m.

Anton Plas, one of the directors for Music at Fieldcote, said Laughton, who is now in 60s, has been entertaining audiences since he was a teenager growing up in St. Catharines. Laughton has performed with Porkbelly Futures, the Canadian Brass and most recently Radio Dial. He plays 12 different instruments, said Plas, so the audience can expect an "extremely eclectic" show.

A highlight of the summer music season arrives on July 20 when internationally recognized Canadian conductor Boris Brott brings his 40-piece orchestra to Fieldcote to help commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Bloody Assizes. Among other notable pieces, the orchestra will perform Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and Beethoven's Wellington March. The evening will also feature a re-created officers' encampment and a performance of Eliza's Journey by Binbrook Little Theatre.

Brott's concert is part of a jam-packed weekend of activities at Fieldcote to mark the 200th anniversary of Canada's historic Bloody Assize. The free events will explore 1814 Ancaster, when eight local men were sentenced to hang for treason. Descendants of some of those involved with the trials will be on hand to view the exhibit Noose, Knife and Fire, the Zooid Aerial Theatre's performance of The Hangman's Reprise, a film screening of Shipwrecked on a Great Lake and an acknowledgement ceremony and plaque unveiling. For more information on the events planned to mark the anniversary, visit www.hamilton.ca/museums.

Jane Bunnett & Maqueque round out the first month of Music at Fieldcote on July 27. Plas said Canadian saxophonist Bunnett has assembled a new sextet featuring young female musicians from Cuba.

"Jane is mentoring the five women who are all in their 20s," said Plas. "She is touring with them and introducing their music by appearing at many jazz festivals."

In case of rain, the Sunday evening concerts will move to St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, 31 Sulphur Springs Rd.

Fran Tarkenton"The Scrambler"
I was the only kid in junior high with one. My father had driven me 103 miles to the West Acres shopping center in Fargo, N.D. so that I could have one. I wore it almost every day. The only days I didn't, my mother had somehow made off with it so that it was drying when it was time to leave for school.
It was a Tarkenton Viking jersey. And as a youngster I emulated every twisting, turning, scramble that Tarkenton made on the field and parlayed that into our neighborhood games. I was the only kid with a Tarkenton jersey so naturally I was made quarterback for all the games.
As a child, Tarkenton enjoyed playing games that he thought up. There was one Tarkenton especially preferred. He would cut out pictures of college and professional football players and form two teams. Then he lined up the players by position and played an imaginary game. Sammy Baugh, the great Washington Redskins quarterback in the 1940's, was one of Tarkenton's favorites. During these games, Tarkenton imagined he was a quarterback too.
Tarkenton was always using his head which became a useful quality for someone not especially big and strong. His father was a Methodist preacher who was very strict. No one smoked, drank alcohol, or cursed in the Tarkenton home. Everyone went to church regularly.
But that did not mean that Tarkenton wasn't allowed to play football. The Tarkentons moved from Richmond, Va., where Tarkenton was born on February 3, 1940, to Washington, D.C. Later they moved to Athens, Ga., where at the age of 11, Tarkenton tried out for his elementary school team. Athens is the site for the University of Georgia, deep in the heart of football country. Just the kind of place a new Slingin' Sammy Baugh could get a initiation.
It seemed only natural that Tarkenton try out for quarterback at Athens High School. Despite being small for his age, he became a starter when he was in the 9th grade. Two years later as a junior, Tarkenton led Athens to an unbeaten season and a chance to win the Georgia state title against Valdosta
Not only was he the quarterback, but Tarkenton ran back kickoffs too. And on the opening kickoff of the game, he ran it back for a touchdown. Before his teammates could celebrate however, they noticed that a penalty flag had been thrown. The touchdown did not count.
So Tarkenton simply ran back the next kickoff for a touchdown. This time there were no penalty flags. Athens went on to win the state title. Afterward, Tarkenton revealed that he had played the entire season with a separated shoulder. Unfortunately he and his team had a discouraging season his senior year. His confidence was crushed. He enrolled at Georgia, but he wondered if he would even make the freshman team.
Because Athens was his home, Tarkenton felt comfortable in college when many of his fellow freshmen were homesick. His freshman coach, Quinton Lumkin, restored his confidence on the football field. Although the freshmen played only three games, Tarkenton was outstanding and showed head coach Wally Butts he was ready to start for the upperclassmen.
In 1958, Tarkenton's sophomore year, he began the season as the third string quarterback. It seemed he would have to wait his turn. In the opening game against Texas, Georgia was losing in the third quarter, 7-0, and the offense had sputtered to a stop. While coach Butts watched, frustrated, from the sideline, Tarkenton walked over to him and pleaded, "Let me go in. I can move the team."
Butts said nothing. Then Georgia regained possession, and this time Tarkenton did not ask to play again. He just ran onto the field, pretending not to hear Butts yelling at him to get off the field. It was too late for Butts to stop him. Tarkenton went on to move Georgia 95 yards to a touchdown. After the two-point conversion, his team led 8-7.
Coach Butts was angry though. He had not given Tarkenton permission to play. Tarkenton knew he should not have taken matters into his own hands. When Georgia got the football again, Tarkenton was back on the bench. The Bulldogs lost that game, and a young man had learned a valuable lesson. Tarkenton could not expect to become a leader unless he was willing to listen to directions.
Tarkenton had too much talent and intelligence to stay on the bench for long. By the middle of that 1958 season he was the starting quarterback. The next year, he became an All-Southeast Conference selection and led Georgia to a 14-0 victory over Missouri in the Orange Bowl. Life was wonderful off the field as well. Tarkenton met a girl named Elaine at a party on campus. She was a majorette in the band. "I just found the right girl," he told a friend. She would soon become his wife.
Before the start of the 1960 season, Tarkenton's senior year, he was picked as an All-American. Many teams in the NFL had their eye on him. People were no longer saying that he was too small to be a professional quarterback. He was 6-1 and weighed 190.
But exemplary quarterbacks need help too. In his last year at Georgia, Tarkenton didn't get much help. Nor was it the best season he ever had. Georgia slipped to a 6-4 record. Now the scouts weren't so sure. The Minnesota Vikings, a first year team in the NFL, picked Tarkenton in the third round of the NFL draft. "I don't think Coach Butts thinks I can make it in the pros," Tarkenton said. "I'm going to prove them all wrong."
The Vikings were a collection of rookies, free agents, and veterans not wanted by other teams. Norm Van Brocklin, who had been an excellent quarterback in his day, was the coach. He chose George Shaw, a veteran who had taken plenty of poundings, as his first-string signal caller. "Look, Tarkenton," Van Brocklin told the rookie, "we want to bring you along slowly."
On the Tuesday before the opening game of the 1961 season, though, Van Brocklin was wavering. "I think I'll start you," he told Tarkenton. By Friday he had changed his mind again. It didn't matter though, Tarkenton was primed.
George Shaw started the first game the Vikings ever played, but he didn't last for long. Early in the first quarter Tarkenton, number 10, trotted onto the field to face the savage Chicago Bears' defense. Minnesota was playing at home, and the Viking fans feared the rookie would get his lumps.
Instead he led the Vikings to an amazing 37-13 victory. Tarkenton was brilliant as he artfully dodged the Bears' defensive front four all afternoon. Just when it looked as if he would be tackled, he would squirm out of the grasp of the defense. In those days a quarterback was expected to stay in the protective pocket formed by his blockers, but Tarkenton repeatedly left the pocket and frustrated the Bears.
It was that way all season as Tarkenton scampered here and there, confounding his opponents with a mixture of passes and runs. He finished eighth in the NFL in passing and threw 18 touchdown passes. And because of his running ability, he rushed for 308 yards and five touchdowns. The Vikings only won three games, but they were an exciting team that gained respect from their competitors.
Unfortunately the Vikings did not improve in 1962. Their record, in fact, was 2-11-1, worse than their first year. And the fans who had warmed to the gutsy little quarterback from Georgia during the previous cold Minnesota winter were now turning against Tarkenton. The young man could not quite understand it.
There was one game in which the fans began to chant for John McCormick, Tarkenton's understudy. Norm Van Brocklin sent in McCormick. As Tarkenton walked to the sidelines, he felt embarrassed and alone. Hugh McElhenny, the veteran running back, put his arm around Tarkenton and consoled him. "You've made it now, kid," he said. "They've booed you and you've been replaced. You're an NFL quarterback."
It was a tough year of breaks for Tarkenton. In a game against the Baltimore Colts, he was knocked unconscious by defensive back Wendell Harris. It took a while for Tarkenton to regain his senses.
That did not stop Tarkenton from running the ball, however. He continued to bewilder the opposition with his unorthodox style. In the 1963 season he led the Vikings to five victories, but in 1964 the team was maturing and seemed ready to challenge Baltimore and Green Bay for the Western Conference title.
The Vikings were playing the Packers, and Tarkenton, already had begun to be called "The Scrambler." Late in the game the Vikings trailed, 23-21, and the situation seemed hopeless. There was less than a minute left, fourth down and 22 yards to go. In the huddle, Tarkenton told his teammates: "We've got to do something drastic. All you receivers run down field twenty-five yards. I'll scramble around until I find one of you open."
It was the first time Tarkenton actually called a scramble. And it worked. He ran around and threw a desperation pass that Gordie Smith caught for a first down in Green Bay territory. Shortly afterward, Fred Cox kicked a field goal to give Minnesota a 24-23 victory. The Vikings won eight games that season and tied for second in the conference.
Now the Vikings were contenders. The experts picked them to win the Western title, but they finished only 7-7 in 1965 and the first hints of a falling out between Van Brocklin and Tarkenton began to surface.
The coach was an old-fashioned type who had never gotten accustomed to Tarkenton's scrambling. But as long as the Vikings won, Van Brocklin would not try to make his quarterback change. For his part, Tarkenton was headstrong and stubborn. He felt he knew how to run the offense better than his coach.
In 1966 the Vikings landed with a thud. They won only four games. Van Brocklin threatened to quit and Tarkenton asked to be traded. The two tried to settle their differences and even hugged and vowed to make the Vikings champions. But during the off-season Tarkenton realized this was wishful thinking.
So Tarkenton wrote a letter to the Vikings' board of directors requesting a trade. And they accommodated him. He was traded to the New York Giants for three number one draft choices. He was going to the big city.
Could the son of a preacher live the fast life in New York? Tarkenton could. With his easy manner and pleasant personality, he adjusted easily. New York suited him fine. He went to the fancy restaurants, he dressed in the latest styles, and he compared notes with Joe Namath, the playboy quarterback of the New York Jets.
On the field, however, nothing had changed. The Giants had won only one game in 1966 and their prospects were not good, but with Tarkenton at quarterback, they won seven games in 1967 and rekindled the fans' hopes. They won seven games again the following year before dropping to a 6-8 record in 1969. Still disappointing for team with a great past, but at least Tarkenton had made the Giants respectable again.
The high point of Tarkenton's New York experience came in 1970, when he led the Giants to their best season in seven years. On the final Sunday they fought for a playoff berth in a game against the Rams.
The Giants lost, however, and their 9-5 record seemed like a mirage. "Without Tarkenton," said defensive end Fred Dryer, "I don't think we would have won any games."
When the Giants fell to 4-10 in 1971, Tarkenton had sensed that he had outlived his usefulness in New York. He was 32 years old and had never played for a legitimate contender. Once again he was at odds with management, this time disagreeing with Giants coach Alex Webster. In a trade that made both sides happy, Tarkenton was sent back to the Vikings.
But these weren't the old Vikings. The new team had won four division titles in a row. Coach Bud Grant felt that a veteran quarterback like Tarkenton was the key to winning the Super Bowl. Tarkenton was thrilled.
"To be able to able to play on a team like this is fun," he told friends. "I don't care how much money you're making; if you don't win, the game is a drag."
For Tarkenton, however, there would be still another test of his will and confidence. In 1972 the best the Vikings could do was a 7-7 record. Tarkenton kept moving up on the all-time list of quarterbacks, but he had not yet been in the playoffs.
The years of frustration ended in 1973. The Vikings finished with a 12-2 record and won the Central Division title in the National Conference. They defeated the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs to advance to Super Bowl VIII. Tarkenton was on top of the world.
Now no one was making fun of scrambling quarterbacks. In fact, many teams began to draft quarterbacks who could run as well as pass. "People looked down on scrambling quarterbacks when I broke in," Tarkenton said, "but now those who can't scramble are at a disadvantage."
Miami defeated the Vikings, 24-7, in the Super Bowl, but Tarkenton had gotten a taste of the playoffs and promised to be back. He and the Vikings returned the next year to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl IX. Once again a magnificent season was spoiled when the powerful Steelers won 16-6. This time Tarkenton was more disappointed. "I wanted to win a championship desperately," he said. "It's probably what I want more than anything in the world. But I don't, I won't kill myself."
In 1975 Tarkenton again led the Vikings to a 12-2 record and was voted Most Valuable Player in the NFL, but Dallas beat the Vikings early in the playoffs. In 1976 their amazing string of successes continued as Tarkenton, now a mature pro of 36, led his team to Super Bowl XI against the Oakland Raiders. People seemed to sense that Tarkenton would not have that many more opportunities to win his championship.
He seemed more on edge than usual during Super Bowl week in Los Angeles. This was the Vikings' fourth appearance in the championship game - their third with Tarkenton. Even though they had had made it to the Super Bowl three times, the Vikings were called losers because they had not won. This time the Vikings promised it would be different. "This team has a new dimension," said coach Grant. "Emotion."
Late in the opening quarter, Minnesota's Fred McNeil did something no other team had done before, he blocked one of Ray Guy's punts. It put the ball on the Oakland 3-yard line. A Minnesota touchdown would put the Vikings ahead for the first time in a Super Bowl game.
But Brent McClanahan fumbled and Oakland then drove 90 yards to set up a field goal by Errol Mann.
From there, the Raiders rolled up 16-0 lead before Tarkenton got off a touchdown pass to Sammy White. It was not enough to change the outcome and Oakland won the game handily, 32-14.
In both 1977 and 1978 the Vikings barely squeezed into the playoffs and were eliminated before getting to the Super Bowl. When 1979 approached, Tarkenton had made up his mind that it was his final season - championship or no championship. "I've played this game since I was eleven years old, he said. "I don't want to hang around for a paycheck. You wake up and you're thirty-nine and you know it's time to move on."
Football was a game for younger men. Tarkenton did not want to become an aging instructor for a promising newcomer. The Vikings finished 7-9 in 1979, but once again, it was not because Tarkenton had failed. During the year, he tutored Tommy Kramer, who became his successor, but Tarkenton never lost his job to him.
When the season ended, he formerly announced his retirement. He went on to manage his own successful business ventures in his hometown of Atlanta, become a television football announcer, and co-host of the series "That's Incredible."
In 18 years my boyhood hero had played more games (257) at his position than anyone else. He had surpassed legends like Johnny Unitas and Sammy Baugh - his boyhood hero - to become the all-time leader in completion's, yardage gained, and touchdown passes. He never won a championship, but Viking coach Bud Grant said, "He is the greatest quarterback ever to play this game."
And for a time in the early 1970s a young boy could be seen in a North Dakota vacant lot, purple #10 jersey standing out as he quarterbacked his neighborhood team to victory. Cherished memories for the Vikings all-time cherished player.
Columnist's note: In May 1996, Tarkenton traveled to San Antonio on a Sunday,
and had a total shoulder replacement surgery on his right shoulder at University
Hospital. Dr. Charlie Rockwood of the Health Science Center in San Antonio TX
performed the surgery. The shoulder replacement was a result of his boyhood
injury, a separated shoulder, which had slowly deteriorated throughout his life.

nvmbrcurls: i have used both of your conditioners, the suave and the v05, with not great results. lol i just get soft limp barely wavy hair.
i tried out the tresseme curl lotion stuff last night and got mixed results on my own head! some huge barrel shaped curls in the back and little spirals in the front and then some straight pieces underneath. it was a hot mess! i re-wet this morning and applied a little LALSG for fun and geeeeezzzz.......producty feeling and pulled the curls out.
also, i washed with some GVPCB first and let it sit then shampooed with a quarter sized blob of the classic herbal essences. yes i have to shampoo or it is just limp soft curls. my hair actually felt really nice! detangled and i didnt see the frizzy littl pieces at my crown that i used to get!
i just cant figure out what to use
i like minimal product use. ideally one or two would be great! gels make me stringy and lately mousses make me greasy looking. the herbal essences and the tresseme ones both were no-go.
I have had good results with protein. wheat protein in particular brings out the curls. Slivola on here has recommended Aveda products and i have tried some samples and had the best curls ever with the becurly style prep. i would like a leave in to help moisturize. my hair hasnt been able to handle them in the past. it seems to go from dry to over moisturized (or at least what i think is overdone) in a matter of seconds.
i know this is funny but i have my mothers curls and my dads texture. my mother has coarser hair and curls when she was younger. my dad has baby fine straight hair. so thats what im workin with.

Few important points were missed here . First off ; 67mph cruise setting on a strange 2 lane road in the dark (head scratch).
What's the legal limit at night ? If this guy caught ya and passed that should have been a clue to leave him alone=potential trouble . When he stopped in the road it was time to turn around and forget the cruise . MAT that sucker until you got back to a populated area while staying on the phone with 911 . Don't take trouble home .
That headlight thing is another sore point for me . 20 years of OTR truckin make me very sensitive to the improper use of high beam lamps . The idea is to share the road .
That said ; if you were my child and called me about the jackwagon chasing and harassing you when you were coming home I
would have done just what your Dad did . I'd have been there for you .
Likely I would have been much less charitable to the jackwagon .

"MAGGIE'S FARM PRACTICES" ? Really? Your talking about the advertised practices....right? Key word here is "advertise".
I've been shopping at the Powers location since it opened, and the Academy store for a few years before that. Having made purchases all over the Springs, Manitou and even in Denver, the Canna folks have one of the best atmospheres, highest quality products, and a very knowledgeable staff. Not to mention that in all the years of purchases, the ONE TIME I had a problem with my purchase, they FIXED IT; without single issue. ~I cannot recommend this store enough.~
I like them. they do original work, 'speech'; "nothing has ever been broken as proof that anything is true", and
"plunder is groundless" yes, love the store.

Serving all people by providing personalized health and wellness through exemplary care, education and research.
Our Services
Explore health content from A to Z.
I need information about...
Cover up. Put on a shirt, use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen (experts recommend using an amount the size of a golf ball), and wear a hat and sunglasses when out in the sun.
Avoid tanning beds. These give off harmful UV rays. In fact, they increase the risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Check your skin. By examining your own skin and seeing your doctor regularly, most skin cancers can be found early.
This is especially important for people with lower immunity, a previous skin cancer diagnosis or a strong family history. Look for new moles or changes in existing moles.
More Summer Tips:
Planning some fun this summer? Bring along sunscreen, bug spray, water and some common sense, and you'll have everything you need to help stay safe.
Beat the heat. Warm-weather activities can bring on heatstroke or heat exhaustion. Drink plenty of water and switch to sports drinks if you''ll be exercising in the heat for a long stretch. Limit your outdoor activities when heat alerts are forecast.
Ray, ray, go away. Use an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen and limit your exposure to the sun to reduce your risk of sunburn today and skin cancer in the future.
Bug off. Sprays can keep insect bites at bay. While many people are concerned about West Nile virus, few people develop symptoms. It's not necessary to visit the emergency room if a mosquito bites you, unless you develop a high fever, a change in behavior or altered mental status.
Put it on ice. When picnicking, bring ice packs to keep cold food cold. Throw leftovers away unless you're certain they've been kept chilled. Make sure grilled meat is cooked thoroughly.
Lock and latch. Make sure your pool is secure, well before you think your child can open a door.

In the past couple of months, the company signed a contract with Switzerland for 18 EC635s plus two EC135s for the Armed Forces, and a framework agreement with Spain for 48 EC135 law enforcement helicopters. As part of these deals, Eurocopter agreed to set up assembly lines in the two customer countries. As of 2007, the Swiss company RUAG will assemble 16 out of the 18 EC635s, with the total Swiss order being the single-highest in terms of value placed for the EC135/635 family to date. With Spain, which has already participated in the EC135 program in the past by producing components and doing customization, cooperation will be further extended to final assembly of the EC135 at Eurocopter's newly established Albacete facility. This step is taken in view of the large Spanish law enforcement requirement and further sales potential in that country.

Freezer cooking is a way that individuals and families can prepare for the coming weeks by making their own homemade convenience foods.
Don't feel like cooking? Let everyone choose his favorite soup from the freezer. Have unexpected company? Grab a few quarts of homemade pasta sauce and prepare a pasta feed for a crowd. Looking for something quick to eat on the run? Pull some burritos from the freezer.
Not only will you eat better, but you will also save money, by avoiding high priced takeout.
Above: Frozen burritos are crisped on the griddle and served with fresh toppings for a healthier take on Chimichangas.
If you're new to freezer cooking, or bulk cooking as it is sometimes called, rest assured that it is not difficult. You can very easily spend a few hours cooking up several recipes in quick succession and have weeks worth of meals at the ready.
Here are some past posts to help you find your bearings:

Freezer Cooking at Our House
Since I'm in the midst of writing a freezer cooking cookbook, my freezer is in a constant state of full. Lately my cooking plans have revolved around recipe developing and testing. I usually already have an idea of recipes that I want to create. I write notes and then have a good time tasting and testing and tasting again. I am sure I will need to go on a major diet come June.
My usual mode of operation these days is to work my cooking plans around a common protein. Using common ingredients or recipes that build on one another is a great way to maximize the time benefits of batch cooking. I find this to be a good way to make use of good grocery sales as well as being a great time saver.

Sailing Between Scylla and Charybdis: The Economics and Law of Net Neutrality
Today, the Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy released a new economic policy vignette by Executive Director John W. Mayo titled "Sailing between Scylla and Charybdis: The Economics and Law of Net Neutrality."
As the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) explores new Open Internet rules, Professor Mayo suggests that an approach based on Section 706 authority is the clear policy tool available to regulators for establishing Internet-related regulation under existing law. Additional points in the analysis include the following:
- Because monopolies by definition reduce output, a suite of regulations premised on increasing output is by its very nature capable of ensuring competitive behavior.
- The authority in Section 706 provides regulators a more economically sound, pro-growth basis for assuring that firm behavior promotes output-deployment and expansion of Internet infrastructure and advanced telecommunications services, which is by definition not possible if firms engage in anti-competitive behavior.
- Imposing ex ante Title II rules risks banning output-enhancing business practices, sweeping them in with anticompetitive practices that should be halted.
- Applying Section 706 steers us away from the pitfalls of either a completely unregulated internet or last century's public-utility regulation model.
To speak with Mayo, who also is a professor of strategy, economics, and public policy at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, contact Teresa Mannix at (202) 687-4080 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Pitt tennis team (4-11, 0-11 ACC) was swept on Sunday afternoon at the 20th-ranked Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
"The beauty of this conference is that only our best tennis, our best attitude, and true fight every time we step on the court will give us the chance to be successful," said head coach Alex Santos. "Today I felt that we let the past affect the present and we didn't show up with the highest level of energy and belief. Credit given to Notre Dame for being able to capitalize and expose our weaknesses."
In doubles on court three, the duo of Mary Closs and Molly O'Koniewski of Notre Dame defeated Kimmy Borza and Katherine Castro, 8-2. The Fighting Irish wrapped up the doubles point on court one as 8th-ranked Quinn Gleason and Britney Sanders defeated Audrey Ann Blakely and Taylor Washington in a tightly-contested 8-5 match. On court two, Jocelyn Lu and Lolade Ogungbesan were down 6-2 to Jennifer Kellner and Julie Sabacinski when the point was awarded and play was stopped.
Notre Dame continued its dominance in singles, sweeping each set from the Panthers. Court five wrapped up first, bringing the score to 2-0 in favor of Notre Dame as Amanda Wickman fell to Mary Closs 6-2, 6-0. The second match to wrap up was at No. 1 as 114th-ranked Audrey Ann Blakely fell to Britney Sanders of ND, 6-1, 6-1.
The match was decided on court four for Notre Dame as Borza fell to Monica Robinson, 6-1, 6-0. The score was increased to 5-0 with an Irish win on court six as Molly Wickman fell to Julie Vrabel 6-4, 6-1.
Ogungbesan, on court three, fell to Jennifer Kellner 7-5, 6-1 and in the most competitive match of the day, Washington battled 41st-ranked Gleason on court two and came up short 7-5, 6-3.
The Panthers will return to action next weekend at No. 27 Georgia Tech on April 11 at 4 p.m. and No. 38 Florida State on Sunday, April 13 at noon.
1. Britney Sanders/Quinn Gleason (ND) vs Taylor Washington/Audrey Ann Blakely (PITT), 8-5

I'm not sure who in our family gets more holiday gifts: the humans or the pets. And from what I saw last Christmas, we're not alone. Not only are the furry ones getting more loot than my husband and I, they're getting better gourmet goodies than we are. Pet extravagance is all the rage.
It used to be a bone or a few fake mice in their stockings were considered ample treats for the family dogs and cats. Not any more. Now, it's organic dog biscuits, hand-made gourmet puppy stew in a can, and just-add-water biscuit mixes, so you can make and bake hot treats on the spot, for the Spot, and cut them out with squirrel- and cat-shaped cookie cutters.
Not that there's anything wrong with sharing the season with Muffy and Fluffy. In fact, when it comes to pampering the pets, I plead guilty with joy. You know those bags of IQF (individually quick frozen) chicken pieces? Yup. I buy them for the cats (we have four). It's not like I feed them a whole piece of chicken; just little bits of meat as treats, about 50 times a day. It's actually cheaper than buying real cat treats. A few seconds in the microwave and voila! Kitty Chicky.
The chicken treats are a year round affair, which they supplement with their own insects and occasional field rodents. But for the cats, the biggest holiday treat is drinking the water from the Christmas tree stand. With four cats, I sometimes have to replenish the water twice a day. The little rascals have plenty of other bowls of water, but nooooo. Nothing tastes as good as pine sap. Must be a bit like feline retsina.
We all need a bit of pampering and indulgence now and then. Just ask Shirley MacLaine's dog Terry.
If you've overindulged over the holidays, though, perhaps it's time to skip the super-sized portions and cut back to, well, bird-like bites. But there's no need to skimp on pampering, just because you're trying to slim down. I've selected below a few recipes as good post-holiday fare. They're tasty, sensible, and you won't feel as if you're sacrificing pounds for pleasure.
Bandaglesh Drums (from Kate's book A Chicken in Every Pot)

Comments by H.H. The`Aga Khan at the Press Conference 2008-08-25
Comments by His Highness The Aga Khan at the Press Conference held at the Office of the Prime Minister of Syria, His Excellency Mr.Mohammed Naji Otri after the signing of various Agreements and Memorandums of Understanding between the Institutions of the Imamat and Agencies of Syria
Damascus, Syria
August 25th, 2008
Mr. Prime Minister,
I would like to begin these comments this morning by thanking you and your Government for the very warm welcome that you have accorded to me on this Golden Jubilee visit to Syria.
The Aga Khan Development Network is only effective when there is an open, frank and sincere dialogue with the decision-makers in every country where we work. And you have provided that open, thoughtful dialogue to us so that we are able to develop programs together. When we entered into this agreement in 2001, I mentioned to your Excellency that The Aga Khan Development Network has one particularity which is that it operates in a number of different fields – in the cultural field, in the economic field, in the social field, educational field, health-care field - and it does that because these areas over the years have appeared to us to be critical areas for development processes in various parts of the world. And that was one of the exciting opportunities which we shared which was that The Aga Khan Development Network could work with the Government and people and institutions in Syria to bring multiple partnerships together. And what we are seeing today is how these multiple partnerships are coming into existence.
First of all we are concerned about poverty. And there is no doubt I think in anybody's mind that micro-credit and the opportunities of service which micro-credit provides for poor people is an amazingly powerful resource. Good institutions, institutions that reach best practice measured in global terms, are critical for any country in the world, however well-developed it is. And building institutional capacity in Syria jointly in health-care, in education, is a goal which I think we have shared since we started our discussions. And the agreement that was signed with regard to higher education and institution-building, enters directly into that area.
I believe that Islamic cultures have immense power and immense opportunity. It is up to us Muslims to illustrate those civilizations, those cultures of the past and the present. And one of the ways to do so is to revive the effectiveness of cultural assets in communicating to people. And historic buildings do not need to be thought of only as unproductive buildings. Cultural assets can and should become contributors to cultural dialogue, cultural understanding, pride in one's heritage and make an economic contribution to the country. And this is why it is so important to develop the leisure industry not only in terminology of modern buildings, but cultural assets speak to people. And if we want to bridge the gulf of misunderstanding between many countries in the Ummah and other countries outside the Ummah, one of the ways to do so, I believe, is to have our cultural assets speak for our history, speak for our traditions, speak for our values, speak for our ethics.
Syria makes all this possible. And I want to thank the Prime Minister and his Government for the enormous opportunity that they have given The Aga Khan Development Network to contribute in these areas which we believe could be important for the future of Syria but also many, many other countries.

The first mural Passages: Entering the Earth from Earth to Moon (first title Entering the World: Image and Language) features large scale paintings of the earth and moon, while the mural ends in the development of written language (cuneiform, hieroglyphics and ancient Phoenician/Greek). The second mural Passages in Music (earlier title was Sound and Script) features abstract shapes and musical notes that dance across the surface. Beethoven, Gregorian chants and the score from La Traviata are painted in a soft sand-like background.
The third mural Passages in Literature and Architecture (earlier title Foundations: Architecture and Literature) combines elements of literature and architecture while the fourth mural is centered on the rich history of New Haven as seen through iconic visual images, such as East Rock, Roger Sherman and Cinque.
Rainbolt is well known in New Haven as an artist capable of working on a very large scale: having been employed for many years as a billboard painter for Barrett Outdoor Communications, Inc.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'll be happy to help you with your question.
Blepharitis is a condition where glands in the eyelids are not functioning normally. They become plugged and instead of putting out their normal clear, oily secretions, they put out thick, toothpaste like gunk.
The best treatment for this condition daily lid scrubs combined with warm compresses. I like to use baby shampoo for lid scrubs. In the shower, place the shampoo on your index fingers, close your eyes, raise your eyebrows (to stretch the skin on you eyelids) and scrub back and forth along your eyelashes for 3 to 5 minutes. The hot water in the shower helps to soften the plugged oils in the glands while the mechanical scrubbing with your soapy fingers removes the oils.
In a few weeks the glands (meibomian gland) should be back online and the issue with swelling should be resolved.
It was a pleasure to address your question. Please, allow me get credit for my time and effort in assisting you and press the ACCEPT button for this assist. I will be glad to answer additional questions until you are satisfied. Thank you so much.
