Rosamund Pike
Gearing up for the much-anticipated Oscars later this month, a bevy of beautiful people gathered at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills on Monday (February 2) for the 87th Annual Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon.
Lovely ladies like Reese Witherspoon, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Felicity Jones, Rosamund Pike, Patricia Arquette, Marion Cotillard and Oprah Winfrey got all gussied up for the cameras before heading inside for a gourmet meal.
Never ladies to miss out on a star-studded soiree, Jessica Chastain, Julianne Moore and Rosamund Park showed up at the 20th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards in Hollywood earlier tonight (January 15).
The Hollywood hotties got plenty of attention as they worked the arrivals area before shuffling inside the Hollywood Palladium to catch all the action.
Contributing a megadose of girl power to the scene, Sienna Miller, Rosamund Pike and Taylor Schilling let their blond ambition do the talking at the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards tonight (January 11).
The "American Sniper" starlet was all smiles as she mingled with the "Gone Girl" babe and the "Orange is the New Black" hottie on the red carpet outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Stepping out for a fun-filled evening, some of Hollywood's hottest stars showed up at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles last night (January 8).
Reese Witherspoon, Chris Evans and Amy Adams all looked fabulous as they mingled at the W Magazine Pre-Golden Globes shindig, ahead of Sunday's big event. Also in the house were big names like Diane Kruger, Joshua Jackson, Eddie Redmayne, Minnie Driver, Sarah Hyland, Paula Patton and Miles Teller.
Adding some girl power to the spread, Julianne Moore showed up at Parker Palm Springs yesterday (January 4) for Variety's Creative Impact Awards and 10 Directors to Watch brunch. The "Boogie Nights" babe donned an Alexander McQueen dress and matching shoes as she mingled with fellow guests and posed for photos.
Also in the house was "Gone Girl" stunner Rosamund Pike, clad in a Proenza Schouler ensemble teamed with shoes from Brian Atwood.
She's having a great year so far, and things keep looking up for "Pride and Prejudice" stunner Rosamund Park.
The lovely English actress is featured on the front of Glamour magazine's October 2014 issue and in her interview she discusses working with Ben Affleck and Neil Patrick Harris in the forthcoming flick "Gone Girl" with author Gillian Flynn.
With just over a month to go, 20th Century Fox just dropped a new teaser trailer for "Gone Girl" and it's pretty intense.
The forthcoming film stars Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry and Emily Ratajkowski, all under the direction of the legendary David Fincher.
Expanding her little family, Rosamund Park announced that she is expecting her second child with partner Robie Uniacke.
The 35-year-old actress relayed the message to E! News via her rep on Thursday afternoon (June 5). Robie and Rosamund are already parents to two-year-old son, Solo.
Given her big role in the forthcoming David Fincher flick "Gone Girl," Rosamund Pike is poised to experience a huge career boost.
And in W magazine's Beauty Issue, the "Pride and Prejudice" beauty teams with her director for a stunning photo shoot as well as a fascinating interview.
It looks like Ben Affleck has another hit on his hands, as the new teaser trailer for "Gone Girl" is absolutely brilliant.
Directed by "The Social Network" honcho David Fincher, the forthcoming film also stars Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, and "Blurred Lines" video vixen Emily Ratajkowski.

Hello Everyone!
I am 22 weeks pregnant with twins. My official due date suppose to be 28.11.2011. Me and my husband are from different nationalities. I flyed to my country to visit my family when I was 16 weeks pregnant and now I suppose to fly back. The doctors wont recommend it. They say that it is a big threath to go into labor in the airplane due to difference of air pressure in the cabin and if that will happen no medicine nowadays cant save my babies. My flight will be 11 hours. So far I have had trouble free pregnancy. I love my husband very much and I would like to be with him when the babies will be born. For him to come to my country is very difficult due to visa problems. Please ladies, I need your thoughts and advices..what would you do? Would you fly or not?
I would totally fly... and do it earlier than later. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists says it's okay to fly up to 36 weeks, as long as your pregnancy is otherwise healthy... with twins it might be a little earlier, but 22 weeks would be early enough for me. What country are you in? Some cultures might differ in their approach to medicine, pregnancy and recommendations... some of those differences are based on facts, some are not. I can't offer you a solution, but it sounds unreasonable to me to restrict flight at 22 weeks if your pregnancy is otherwise healthy.
Here is a link I found on the subject: http://www.pregnancy-info.net/wellbeing_flying.html
Thank you for your advice! I am from Estonia. It is a small country in north of Europe and my husband is from Ecuador. So that is where I want to fly- to Ecuador. Well, it is true that doctors here couldnt really explain to me what exactly might happen. They just said it is better not to fly, because it is a big risk that I can lose the babies :(
I did read that if the airplane doesn't have appropriate pressure in the cabin like most commercial airlines these days do, the risk of preterm labor could be increased if you are closer to your due date... I have not read anything at all about any other risks though... the womb is a pretty good insulator for our little ones. :)
Thank you! I got a lot of positive energy from this forum :) I still havent made my final decision. I think I will see how I feel during the weekend. If I feel fine, I will fly. My flight suppose to be on monday!!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/5/2014 (1133 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
So when you were in Calgary, were you working at something else? Was this always the dream? Or how did this fascination or business evolve?
It only came about in the last year, really. This is pretty much my one-year anniversary — I've done things very, very slowly. But when I worked in Calgary, I worked in an office, so that didn't inspire me much. I guess it inspired me enough to get me out of the office! But my collecting began back then as just a part-time hobby — mostly '50s dresses because I love the pouf of them — the tulle. And after that, I guess it just became a hoarding issue! (laughs)
A fascination with the '50s stuff, but you've got pieces from the '20s right through now, yes? Just about any era anybody wants?
Well, it started with the '50s and then as I said, it just became a hoarding issue because I liked everything! And then once I decided I was going to go into business, I started to go through my tickle trunk and find things that we'd done — we always used to do girlfriends' bridal showers and stagettes. And these were always costume-themed. So we collected all our things together, and my girlfriends and I ended up having this giant amount of clothing that we could all use for these things. And I guess that's where the brainstorming started.
But I think what I really noticed about costume rentals is that often you walk in and you don't know where to start. Someone says, 'OK, I want to dress like I'm from 1950.' They kind of have a visual, but they don't really know what to look for. So I'm more of a service than anything else. You can come in and we'll have a consultation, we'll go through what you want to represent, and down to the details — we'll do hair, we'll do makeup, we'll do accessories, shoes, purses, garments. So it goes beyond just costume. And then, of course, there are all the other services we offer with the whole vintage feel to it.
What are those?
We do the photo booths, which are very popular. We have several of those that we rent out, and we'll come and take pictures in the photo booths with costumes, so you can have props. We can do themes for it. I kind of consider myself all-things-vintage right now because I'm renting out a lot of props for weddings — things like the wooden back doors. We have lots of those going out for weddings this summer, along with all the old suitcases and things like that.
So these are props for the wedding photos, then?
Exactly — backdrops for weddings, things like that — parties, socials. I also work in conjunction with several photographers in town where we can do themed photo shoots — get yourself all dolled up in whatever era you want, and you'll get amazing, beautiful pictures.
So you're saying 'we' do you have a partner in this or just have people who work for you occasionally?
I have several friends who are assistants in a sense — they always seem to be by my side for every event. And then my husband is my No. 1 supporter. I say 'we' because he's always there by my side. He gets to do all the dirty work, unfortunately.
He's your roadie?
He is my roadie — he's very helpful.
But this is your business.
I have to admit when I'm sitting here with all these beautiful dresses around me, I feel like a kid in a candy shop, because — and I'm sure a lot of people would be the same way when they get in here — I always love to play dressup. Were you that way when you were a kid?
Oh, of course — I loved to play dressup. I think most kids have some kind of tickle trunk. I think that's part of what's so much fun about this type of job — it's something that almost everybody wants to do, because you can let yourself be whimsical again. You can let yourself enjoy something that you wouldn't normally do.
And I guess we get to be not ourselves for an evening or something, too.
That's right. And more so than just the costume is the attitude. Everyone kind of takes on their own attitude when they have the costume and the makeup and the hair — going to an event, they're free to be who they want to be for a night. It's quite exciting.
Do you have particular favourites? Because this dress you're wearing for our Brandon Sun photo shoot is fantastic.
This is one of my favourites, yes.
Are you a glitter girl or do you like lace or do you just like it all?
Like I said, I like pouf! (laughs) So yes, I do have some favourites that I don't think I could ever part with — they've just become part of me now. But I do let people use them because I think they should still retain their beauty and people should be able to see and use them. I love them all and I know where they come from and that sort of thing — I can remember the history of each of them.
Where do you find this stuff? Is it estate sales or do people just know that you do this and ask you if you want them? The business is so young yet, I'm surprised by what an extensive collection you have.
The vintage stuff comes from thrift shops and there's been 15 years worth of shopping. But also people do donate. A lot of the time, people just don't know where to send these articles that have been saved for 50 or 60 years. And they don't want to see it go somewhere that it won't be taken care of. So I do take a lot of things in and they're very well taken care of. But you know, you have to be constantly looking for things. The 1920s, obviously — there isn't a lot that has made it this long that we can use as a costume that's authentically vintage, so I find things that would look the part. And then sometimes we have to adapt them — take them in, take the sleeves off — things like that. But the whole look is, in the end, achieved.
You obviously sew or are a seamstress if you can do these sorts of things.
I wouldn't call myself a seamstress. But yes, I know how to use a sewing machine and I can make alterations to things. And I have made a few garments for the shop, costume-wise. They're not by any means formal dress kinds of things. They're costumes — they're fun, and vintage pieces are typically very small, so that's part of my goal, is to make things fit everyone. So I will make a garment that looks vintage that will fit the modern size.
And it's mostly women's clothing that you have?
Mostly women. Most of my men's stuff is downstairs, because it's not as popular.
Most guys don't seem to relish the idea of dressing up like most women do.
And I mean really, throughout all the eras, a suit is a staple. So we can change a suit if we have to. But yes, I have men's clothing, too.
The setting here in your home is really lovely. It's like a shop. You've got a dressing room — everything is beautifully displayed. You've got Frank Sinatra playing in the background, which is perfect. I could spend days going through all the things you have!
I call it my studio because I don't really know what else to call it. But it works. And we often have little gatherings in here — little group parties. We play dressup and everybody picks out an outfit and gets dolled up and pictures taken. And I'm still able to be at home and still help out where I can.
And obviously it's a converted garage.
It is. It was a garage at one time, then it was a family room, and now it's a studio.
If people had good-quality items that they didn't know what to do with, are you interested in taking a look at them?
Definitely! That would be wonderful. I think preserving them is a great way to have these things around for a long time to come.
And not to just have them sit, either. It's no good to have great jewelry that stays in a safety deposit box, or have a fantastic dress that never sees the light of day.
Exactly, I love to see the dresses go out for an evening. And they deserve it — they've been in storage for 60 years. The same thing with furs and things — the higher-quality things are nice to keep on hand because they don't last forever — they do wear. But it's all very well taken care of, and all of my clients are wonderful — they appreciate everything I have as well, so they take very good care of it.
So donations are always welcome. They can call me at 204-761-5988, or email email@example.com And you can also find it on my website, which is www.vintagecostumes.ca Or you can contact me through Facebook.
So what do you usually charge to rent a costume?
The basic costume rate is $45, and that includes your main garment, which is a costume garment, as well as shoes, accessories — hats, wigs, whatever you want to put together. If it's a vintage item, then it tends to be a little higher. It's more like $65 depending on the item because of the care that goes into it. They are all hand-washed. And that's the same thing with the $65 — it includes all your accessories. I also do the hair and makeup as well, if that's something you want to do for an event. It really adds to it, and it starts at $35 for each session.
The business has been going well, though? People are finding out about you and you've been happy with your first year?
Yes. Like I said, I did things very slowly because it was just something that was in my mind, and I thought, 'Oh, I can play with that.' The response has been wonderful, and I think there are a lot more vintage lovers out there than I knew about. So I'm quite busy, and I'm loving it!

Old English ende "end, conclusion, boundary, district, species, class," from Proto-Germanic *andja (cf. Old Frisian enda, Old Dutch ende, Dutch einde, Old Norse endir "end;" Old High German enti "top, forehead, end," German ende, Gothic andeis "end"), originally "the opposite side," from PIE *antjo "end, boundary," from root *ant- "opposite, in front of, before" (see ante).
Original sense of "outermost part" is obsolete except in phrase ends of the earth. Sense of "destruction, death" was in Old English. Meaning "division or quarter of a town" was in Old English. The end "the last straw, the limit" (in a disparaging sense) is from 1929.
The phrase end run is first attested 1902 in U.S. football; extended to military tactics in World War II; general figurative sense is from 1968. End time in reference to the end of the world is from 1917. To end it all "commit suicide" is attested by 1911. Be-all and end-all is from Shakespeare ("Macbeth" I.vii.5).

'WARRIOR' Dave Winfield is in with a chance of shrugging off a thigh strain to face MK Dons on Saturday.
The Blues captain limped off 35 minutes into Wycombe's midweek win at Exeter with the niggling injury.
Replacement Leon Johnson will miss the visit of play-off chasing Dons after picking up his tenth booking against the Grecians.
But Wanderers boss Gary Waddock said Winfield is in with a chance of making the derby clash this weekend.
"It was sensible for Dave to come off because he could have torn the muscle," he said. "He is a warrior and a battler and, knowing Dave, he has every chance of making the game. But we will monitor him closely."
Full-back Danny Foster will miss the game after being ruled out for six weeks with a shoulder injury.

"The city of Córdoba was the setting for an unusual historical drama that unfolded between the years 850 and 859, when forty-eight Christians were decapitated for religious offenses against Islam. More striking than the number of executions were the peculiar circumstances surrounding them. For one thing, as the sources unambiguously demonstrate, the majority of the victims deliberately invoked capital punishment by publicly blaspheming Muhammad and disparaging Islam. Moreover, though some Cordoban Christians applauded the executed Christians as martyrs, others regarded them as self-immolators whose unwarranted outbursts served only to expose the community as a whole to the emirs' suspicions."
--from the Introduction to Christian Martyrs in Muslim Spain, by Kenneth Baxter Wolf, the John Sutton Miner Professor of History at Pomona College.
"Eulogius and fellow martyr-activists had been alarmed by Andalusia's cresting prosperity and distressed to see their fellow Christians' growing fascination with Islamic civilization. What they observed must have seemed portents of Christianity's utter demise: conversions to Islam were surging; Christians readily adopted Arabic culture and ways; Cordoba's bishops cozied up to al-Andalus's emirs; and Andalusian Christians eagerly served in the Muslim-run government and army."
"Christians adopted Arabic dress and spoke Arabic. Some had themselves circumcised to accomodate to the new culture."
"Eulogius himself was arrested in 859, charged with harboring an apostate from Islam, and sentenced to a flogging. But after witnessing so many martyrdoms, Eulogius may have sensed his own moment for bravery had arrived--or he may have contemplated the shameful prospect of rejoining Christian society chastened but alive after others had embraced a more drastic fate."
--from http://www.amazon.com/Vanished-World-Muslims-Christians-Medieval/dp/0195311914/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1268266425&sr=1-1#noop>A Vanished World: Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Medieval Spain, by Chris Lowney (a former Jesuit and a former managing director of J. P. Morgan), Oxford University Press, USA, 2006. (Search term: Eulogius.)
Eulogius "told the judge to sharpen his sword and proceeded to point out the errors of Islam. Because Eulogius was such an important member of the Christian community, the judge had him taken to the emir's palace for sentencing by the 'royal counselors.' There a sympathetic courtier encouraged him to cooperate and avert his own execution:
"If stupid and idiotic individuals have been carried away to such lamentable ruin, what is it that compels you, who are outstanding in wisdom and illustrious in manner of life, to commit yourself to this deadly ruin, suppressing the natural love of life? Hear me, I beseech you, I beg you, lest you fall headlong to destruction. Say something in this the hour of your need, so that afterward you may be able to practice your faith. We promise that we will not bother you again anywhere.
"But Eulogius chose instead to maintain his course and continued extolling the virtues of Christianity. On March 11, 859, Eulogius was decapitated."
--from Wolf, Chapter Four, "The Life of Eulogius".

The video shows a Christian who was captured by Syrian rebels. The men forced him to convert to Islam and declare the Shahadatan ("There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger"). After he complied, the men said that he was still an infidel and beheaded him anyways.
If you ever find yourself in this situation, do not say the Islamic creed. Say the Lord's Prayer instead.
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Received a Nook for Christmas. I tried to register this thing through my computer by plugging it into my USB port. That's a big no-go. What company decides that wi-fi should be the ONLY way to get a piece of electronics registered? For all I know, that will be the only way to purchase and download books for this piece of crap.
So if I understand correctly, I should just go to the local "hotspot" (make sure I'm wearing my turtleneck) and register a piece of electronics on a network that is totally unsecure for all I know, register the piece of crap then plug my credit card info into it to buy a freaking electronic book????? I suppose that every time this thing is turned on from that point on, everyone in the world will know exactly where I am because this thing will be pinging every wifi signal within 50 meters of me.
Bottom line, when I donate this piece of crap to St. Vinny's how much should I say my donation is worth when I write it off on my taxes? I'll say $50 and leave it at that.

Print Nothing says quality like a product that has been around for over 120 years, like Pendleton wool clothing. Founded by a young English weaver, Thomas Kay, this company continues to thrive under the direction of Kay's family. Thomas Kay's eldest daughter, Fannie, learned the mill business and ably assisted her father in mill operation and management. When she married retail merchant C.P. Bishop, a complementary combination of merchandising and manufacturing expertise emerged - a solid foundation for what was to become Pendleton Woolen Mills. This dual textile-retail heritage was passed on to the three Bishop sons, Clarence, Roy and Chauncey. In 1909, with family and town backing, the Bishop sons started up an idle mill in Pendleton, Oregon. The mill, originally built in 1893, faced increased freight tariffs and the business became unprofitable. In 1895, the scouring plant was enlarged and converted into a woolen mill which made bed blankets and robes for Native Americans. In 1912, the addition of a weaving mill in Washougal, WA, broadened Pendleton's capability for fabric variety, including suitings. Wool shirts for men were largely utility items in the early 20th century. In 1924, the legendary Pendleton virgin wool men's shirt was born. Pendleton has thrived under the direction of the Bishop family. Today, their sons have assumed management roles in the company. C.M. Bishop III is president and John and Charles are vice presidents. Another son, Peter, is manager of the Catalog/Internet Division. This family thread has continued to produce Pendleton leadership with a legacy of hands-on management for six generations -- warranted to be a Pendleton since 1863.

Total petroleum systems of the Trias/Ghadames Province, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya; the Tanezzuft-Oued Mya, Tanezzuft-Melrhir, and Tanezzuft-Ghadames
Bulletin 2202-C
- By:
- T.R. Klett
- More information: USGS Index Page (html)
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractUndiscovered conventional oil and gas resources were assessed within total petroleum systems of the Trias/Ghadames Province (2054) as part of the U.S. Geological Survey World Petroleum Assessment 2000. The Trias/Ghadames Province is in eastern Algeria, southern Tunisia, and westernmost Libya. The province and its total petroleum systems generally coincide with the Triassic Basin. The province includes the Oued Mya Basin, Melrhir Basin, and Ghadames (Berkine) Basin. Although several total petroleum systems may exist within each of these basins, only three ?composite? total petroleum systems were identified. Each total petroleum system occurs in a separate basin, and each comprises a single assessment unit. The main source rocks are the Silurian Tanezzuft Formation (or lateral equivalents) and Middle to Upper Devonian mudstone. Maturation history and the major migration pathways from source to reservoir are unique to each basin. The total petroleum systems were named after the oldest major source rock and the basin in which it resides. The estimated means of the undiscovered conventional petroleum volumes in total petroleum systems of the Trias/Ghadames Province are as follows: [MMBO, million barrels of oil; BCFG, billion cubic feet of gas; MMBNGL, million barrels of natural gas liquids] Total Petroleum System MMBO BCFG MMBNGL Tanezzuft-Oued Mya 830 2,341 110 Tanezzuft-Melrhir 1,875 4,887 269 Tanezzuft-Ghadames 4,461 12,035 908

There is a shortcut for rebooting the DICE when it goes on the blink
For others to benefit, I have good news (sort of) for rebooting the DICE the easiest way possible.
We already posted the full method for properly
rebooting the DICE
; but, I've had to reset my E39 DICE Silverline so many times, I've been able to get away with this abbreviated reset version ...
0. While at a long stoplight, remove the iPod from the DICE cable in the glovebox
1. Quickly, turn off ignition, remove the key. pop the trunk, and run out to the back of the car
2. (Carefully & quickly) spin off the positive battery cable nut with a 10mm box wrench
3. Momentarily short the business end of the positive cable to the steel E39 battery brace
4. (Carefully & quickly) replace the positive battery cable & tighten the 10mm lock nut
5. Store the 10mm socket and socket wrench above the battery behind the tool strap
6. Close the trunk, run back into the car, start it up, and reconnect the iPod to the DICE
7. You can do all of this in about 2 minutes so time yourself at the next light and you're good to go!
I'd still vastly prefer a simple reboot button on the DICE cable itself ... just like every other piece of electronic equipment that has an MPU inside of it...

Technical Abstract: Human beings commonly acquire Toxoplasma gondii infection by ingesting food and water contaminated with the resistant stage of the parasite (oocyst) shed in the feces of infected cats or by ingesting the encysted stage of the parasite (tissue cysts) in infected meat. Cats can shed millions of oocysts within a short time after ingesting T. gondii infected rodents, birds, or other animals. Oocysts can remain viable in the environment for many months even under harsh conditions.

Cascade track coaches relieved of coaching duties; will continue teaching
Four Hendricks County high school track coaches, suspended for punishing students during a practice, will not be fired.
Nicholas Puckett, Josh Hagonow, Rosie Fakes and Sean Adams will continue to teach at Cascade High School, but they will no longer coach.
The school board met Monday night to discuss the case and released a statement Tuesday.
The Mill Creek Community School Corporation says it's completed the investigation.
"After gathering and investigating facts surrounding the incident that occurred, it has been determined that there was no intent to cause harm to students. The teachers have admitted the poor judgment in their decisions on May 1, and have since recognized and taken ownership of their actions," the school district said.
Regarding the decision to allow them to continue to teach, the district said, "There was no evidence from the facts gathered or from the teachers' classroom history that the extra-cirricular incident that occurred would carry over to the classroom."
The district went on to say, "the coaches accept the consequences of their actions including being relieved of their coaching positions and the public scrutiny that has followed. They also acknowledge that the corporation does not condone reprimands or punishments that result or may result in physical injury as part of our extracurricular programs."
Some members of the Cascade High School track team missed a practice last week, so their coaches made them do what are called "bear crawls," and some wound up with bruises and blisters on their hands.
Some parents complained. Harvey Pedro said the images of the injuries to team members' hands hit him pretty hard when he saw them, since his granddaughter runs on the junior varsity track team.
"I was pretty concerned, pretty upset, that that type of punishment could happen. It's okay to discipline," he said.
But he says the discipline handed down by the four coaches went too far.
The Department of Child Services is also investigating.
Eyewitness News caught up with Puckett, who said they didn't mean to hurt anyone.
"I understand that, the kids know, the parents know, all the facts will come out and until then I am just not going to make a comment," he said.
Some students past and present have come to the support of the coaches, calling the bear crawls "reasonable" punishment.
But the team canceled Friday's scheduled competition, and substitute coaches worked with the coed team Monday.
Carla Henderson, a Cascade graduate who has a child that attends the school, suspects there is more to the incident.
"Some of it, I'm a little skeptical on, because one of the coaches I had when I was in school and this is not her character," she said.
The board met in executive session Monday, which is an informal meeting where no official decisions are made. Henderson says she is pleased the school board was taking time to review all the facts before making any judgment on the coaches.
Suggested Links
"I think they just need to take a closer look and investigate the whole situation and go from there," she said. "The kids are really supportive of the coaches and stuff like that. You know, all of this is really about the kids and they really need to stop and look at the kids' point of view."
Several members of the team have met in support of the coaches and have tried to schedule meetings with school officials to get them to change their minds. The board has a regular meeting, which is open to the public, scheduled for Wednesday evening.
"Something should be done and hopefully the board will make a good decision," Pedro said.

Professional Real Estate Photography
Why are Professional Photos important for selling your Real Estate?
When looking for property to buy or lease about 95% of buyers start the search on the Internet. The decision on a more detailed examination of advertised properties is mostly made in the first few seconds of reviewing photos of listed ads. Among several listings of similar properties more attention will attract listings that have high quality photos, and they will encourage interest in the detailed review of the ad while the ads with low quality photos will mostly have the opposite effect.
The first impression of the property is acquired through the photos, so even an attractive real estate may have little interest of the buyers if it is presented with a dark, blurry or slanted photographs. On bad photos even spacious and bright room may seem cramped and dark and therefore repel further interest of the buyer.
Professional photographs of the property will attract attention and encourage the buyer to take a more detailed look of the ad, read a description and the information and decide to take personal look at the property to purchase or to book accommodation. Also for luxury real estate clients expect it to be presented with professional photographs.
Getting a professional photos is not a cost but an investment that will significantly help to find a buyer quicker or greater occupancy of advertised properties.
About professional photography
Professional photos show the property in the best and most attractive way, by choosing the best angle, proper lighting and composition. In making of the photos We do not do any photo manipulation because the photos should not deceive customers but present the actual state of the property at the time of the shooting. Of course, a messy environment, kitchen, bathroom or other rooms certainly will not look good even on the best photos so it is important to clean up and prepare property for taking photographs in order to obtain great high-quality and representative photos. In addition, it is important to arrange term of taking photographs when weather conditions are appropriate because taking photographs during a beautiful sunny day will have dramatically better results than during bad weather and rain.
Aerial videography and photography
With a service of the photographer we offer an additional service of photographing and video recording properties from the air using the "Photo-drone" aircraft for the attractive and unique presentation of the property and the environment from a new perspective.
Price for photographic services depends on the size of the real estate, additional Aerial videography and photography and travel expenses.

for America
"Every American"
Trippi, McMahon & Squier
|Dean (to camera):
I'm Howard Dean and I approve this message because it's time to stand up
to George Bush.
I opposed the war with Iraq when too many Democrats supported it, because I want a foreign policy consistent with American values.
I opposed the Bush tax cuts because they are bad for the economy and they are costing us jobs.
As Governor, I created jobs, balanced budgets, and made sure nearly every child in my state had health insurance.
As President, I will make sure every American does too.
Join the campaign; together we can take
our country back.
|On the Screen: One shot--a medium close up of Dean in front of a field talking to the camera. When Dean states "it's time to stand up to George Bush" he takes a step forward. He is identified as "Governor Howard Dean." The text below that changes from the disclaimer to "Democrat for President" to the phone number to the website address.
|Notes and Observations: No cuts, fancy camera effects or added music are used; it's just Dean talking to the camera, reinforcing the direct, straight talking image he is seeking to convey.

Re: Final drives redo J.D. 350 Dozer
P & B about 750 each side finals i have done myself for about 250 ea. or you buy buy reman.
Not the answer you were looking for?
Re: Final drives redo J.D. 350 Dozer
never been around Dozers, the last dozer on the farm was the old Cat #22 (22 hp), dad used for farming my mother ran it for him at times, in the early 1950's she said it was a dirty thing to run as the track would pull the sand up and continuously sprinkle you with grit as you pulled things down the field,
my dad said every one liked them until it came time to replace the tracks and under carriage,
Deere stuff is good machinery, but like a premium on there parts it seems,
I would guess a lot of what it will cost is what needs to be done, and what needs replacement, if it is just bearings I would think the majority of the cost would be labor,
but if you need the gears or you can go to John Deere parts (on the net) and look up the parts and see the cost of them if you know what you need,
I know on a combine (the final drive is a separate piece) and even for a small 6600 it is not cheap, to buy a rebuilt one, $1500, on a newer combine, there about $3500 each, and that is not on the machine just the part,
here is a site that says they have dozer final drives, http://www.brokentractor.com/jd_doze...FUS5Kgod6zajfA
parts for dozer drives, http://www.brokentractor.com/jd-dozer-fd-1010.htm
give one some idea of parts prices,
a bearing and seal kit from this company for a JD 350 dozer is about $312.00 http://www.reliableaftermarketpartsi...e-Dozer/Detail
sorry I can not be of more help, but I think one can get a working Idea of some of the cost involvedPush sticks/blocks Save Fingers
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."

Wondering if i can put a 350 engine into a 1952 frame. I have the motor and trany mounted together setting on top of the bare frame. Not really sure what to do next in order to make motor mounts and where exactally to set it. Thanks Dustin
HI Dwalter:: was reading you message and thought I would try to give you a few hints on something like this.First of all you should start setting the cab and then you can go ahead and set the engine close to the cab with enough clearance for the engine. In most truck after market places you should be able to locate a front engine mount adapter and one for the trany that would fit the frams of these okd trucks......
Hank60PThanks for the info I just mounted the cab on it yesterday will try to get to the mounts this weekend. If anything else comes to mind let me know.
If you move the engine a little off center, to the passenger side you will have more clearance for you exhaust has been my experience. Keep the engine line up straight, just move to one side a little. Also had to move the steering box about 1 and 1/2 inches further out from the frame. This was never a problem with the steering or the box, but gave the exhaust just enough room to not be touching anything on that side. I always like to put a modern radiator in also so that you have better cooling. They also have built in transmission coolers too if you go that way.- Church

Taffy has gone to the bridge.With another ruptured disc and the pain it caused, it was time to go.Looking to meet up with my pal Honey.It was a wonderful6 years and wish it could of been more but it was not to be.
I am recovering from back surgery..I don't know how it happened but I ruptured a disc in my back and it hurt so much,had all kinds of tests and they said I needed surgery.I am doing better but they shaved all my fur on my back off and I look funny,but it will grow back.I try to follow the doctors orders but I don't always do so.It's going to be 6 weeks before I can do much of anything..I hope it heals and I can go walking again with my Mom.
I am very sad as my pal Honey had to go to the bridge, she was so cute but she hurt so much and I guess it was her time. I miss her and so do we all. I have nobody to play with and Mommie said NO more dogs. I guess she will have to play bouncy ball with me more now!! I am a good girl so she will.

President George Bush has from the beginning of his ill fated invasion of Iraq in 2003 been somewhat confused regarding not only the purpose of the venture but about its conclusion. On one hand, he is continually boasting the United States has no designs on Iraq and is simply there to help out, but, on the other hand, it is clear he wants to impose his will on the country. However, in recent weeks there has emerged in Iraq a growing backlash against the agreement made between the United States and the Iraq government over America's long-term presence in the country. Some Iraq politicians are furious the agreement allows for a permanent foreign military presence in Iraq, the right of Americans to arrest Iraq citizens, conduct military operations, be immune from Iraq law, and, in effect, treat their nation as a pseudo-colony.
An Iraqi who has been involved in these negotiations says America is beginning to recognize that Iraq will not tolerate being treated as a second rate nation. "Now, the American position is much more positive and more flexible than before." The Iraqi opposition wants US forces confined to their barracks unless requested to act by the Iraq government. They do not wish Americans to have the power granted by the original agreement that was hammered out prior to recent Iraq army success. In essence, Bush may well have inadvertently achieved the success he desired. Americans may well be able to go home.

Former world champion darts player Eric Bristow MBE was a special guest at Betfred in Aldershot as customers got to take him on in a darts challenge.
The Crafty Cockney was at the Wellington Street shop on Thursday (April 3) as the shop sought to get customers through the door ahead of the weekend's Grand National.
Mr Bristow was ranked the number one darts player in the world three times between 1980 and 1990 and won five world championships and five masters titles.
However, despite the cry of 'one hundred and eighty' being heard on a number of occasions, the retired 56-year-old was slightly rusty as several customers beat him in the challenge. Throwing nine darts they had to score more points than the former champion could with six.
Customers queued to take part throughout the day and those that won were given a £5 free bet. There was also a buffet on offer.
Betfred area manager Paul Newman said Mr Bristow's visit had been to give trade at the shop a 'kick up the backside' after disappointing recent figures.
"The shop has not been performing as well as we would like, although we've made ground in the last few months," he said. "Eric's visit, coinciding with market day, certainly helped.
"It was a bit of fun and there was a good atmosphere in the shop."

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group Honoured in 2009 Hong Kong and Macau Michelin Guide
The launch of the highly anticipated Michelin Guide for Hong Kong and Macau was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre last night. The event was well attended by hospitality industry professionals and VIPs all of whom were there to witness which of Hong Kong's restaurants would receive a coveted Michelin star.
Amber at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, was honoured to receive two Michelin stars. The restaurant features the innovative and exhilarating cuisine of Richard Ekkebus.
Pierre at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, which features the bold three-star Michelin cuisine of Pierre Gagnaire, received one Michelin star, as did Tung Yee Heen, the distinguished Cantonese restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Macau.
In addition, Yee Tung Heen at The Excelsior, which is managed by Mandarin Oriental, was merited with the prestigious Bib Gourmand, which is given to those restaurants that offer a 'high quality dining experience at an affordable price.'
Michelin is regarded as an international benchmark for gourmet dining. A restaurant that receives one or more stars is not only regarded as the best in its country, but also one of the best restaurants in the world.
One star denotes a 'very good restaurant in its category,' while two stars are awarded to a restaurant offering 'excellent cooking that is worth a detour.' Richard Ekkebus of Amber, Philippe Orrico, Chef de Cuisine of Pierre, Vong Kua Iu of Tung Yee Heen in Macau and Tom Chung of Yee Tung Heen at The Excelsior were all on hand to receive the coveted awards. "We are truly delighted to receive this prestigious accolade," said Andrew Hirst, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group's Operation Director, Asia. "It speaks volumes about the dedication to fine dining excellence that all of our hotels offer."
Mandarin Oriental hotels have long been renowned for their excellence and innovation in food and beverage, and increasingly the Group is being acknowledged for its continued ability to appoint enthusiastic culinary talent — many of whom make their name with the Group.
Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London and Mandarin Oriental, Munich both have Michelin starred restaurants, and Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo is the only hotel in Japan to have three Michelin-starred restaurants in the latest Japanese guide.
"The Group also does much to nurture up and coming talent," commented Andrew Hirst, "and it is a testament to their rare aptitude that chefs such as Chris Staines at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London, Eric Ziebold at Mandarin Oriental, Washington D.C. and of course Richard Ekkebus at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong are making a name for themselves in the culinary arena."
About The Michelin Guide
Michelin has been in the business of evaluating and recommending restaurants and hotels for over a century. They employ full-time professional inspectors who anonymously visit restaurants and hotels, and evaluate them on a range of criteria, using an evaluation process that has been honed over time to identify consistently high-quality establishments to suit a range of budgets and across a range of styles and cuisines.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is the award-winning owner and operator of some of the world's most prestigious hotels and resorts. Mandarin Oriental now operates, or has under development, 41 hotels representing over 10,000 rooms in 24 countries, with 16 hotels in Asia, 15 in The Americas and 10 in Europe and North Africa.

Asphalt and Need for Speed fans, beware: this isn't either an arcade or a driving simulator, it's an old school drag racing game in which gearing up at the right time is key to win every race, which are played on neverending straight streets. Therefore there's no steering or braking needed. You just accelerate trying to get the most of your engine.
This simple gameplay doesn't mean that the game is easy to be won, though. In addition, it comes with a bunch of customization options in order to make car tuning fans happy. As expected, there two in-game currencies, so once you run out of cash you can purchase gold to get the best upgrades for your car.
Races last for fifteen or twenty seconds long, and can become repetitive too fast unless you are really into this kind of games. If that wasn't enough, there's a gas meter and when it's empty you have to pay gold coins to replenish it and be able to race again. Yes, it's how freemium formula works, but you may feel it's been taken too far.
Graphics and sounds are nice. Give it a go, but don't expect more than what it is.

Poor shooting dooms Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson girls basketball coach Dom DiMattia knew he had a big dilemma facing him Monday with Ringgold's duo of 6-foot-2 Josie Schmidt and her younger sister, 6-3 Marlena Schmidt.
Turns out that paled in comparison to the biggest problem the Jaguars encountered in a Section 4-AAA game they had to win to have any realistic chance of taking part in the playoffs in two weeks.
Thomas Jefferson just couldn't shoot the ball.
The Jaguars already couldn't challenge in the paint with the Schmidt sisters lurking, but complicated things even further when they missed 44 of 52 shots from the floor, including 14 of 18 3-pointers, en route to one of its worst offensive outputs of the season in a 43-32 loss to Ringgold.
"They blocked every shot we attempted inside and we couldn't make a shot from the outside, so what do you do?" DiMattia said.
The loss dropped Thomas Jefferson (7-11, 4-5) into a tie with Ringgold (8-9, 5-5) for the fourth and final playoff spot in the section. However, the Rams have the first tiebreaker by winning both head-to-head meetings.
With a Ringgold win over Brownsville (5-12, 1-8) on Thursday, Thomas Jefferson would have to win its remaining games at West Mifflin (7-10, 6-3), at Belle Vernon (13-4, 7-2) and against Waynesburg (3-14, 0-9) and have Elizabeth Forward (17-1, 9-0) beat Ringgold in the season finale to make the playoffs.
Both coaches knew the importance of the game.
"This was a must-win for us," Nick Mandich said. "Without this one, it would've been over. It was a big win for us."
DiMattia added: "This was the one we needed, but now…"
Ringgold can thank the Schmidt sisters for keeping its playoffs hopes alive.
Josie Schmidt scored a game-high 15 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked five shots, and Marlena Schmidt finished with eight points, eight rebounds and nine blocks.
Alexis Yanief led Thomas Jefferson with nine points, and Jessie Hinkle added eight.
"We took away what they wanted to do," Mandich said. "What they want to do is drive to the hoop and try to draw a foul. I tell them every game that we are blocking everything that comes inside."
TJ adjusted by taking jump shots and 3-pointers. That didn't work either, especially in the second half when it shot 3 of 26 from the floor.
"They were in that 2-3 zone and said go ahead and shoot," DiMattia said. "It was air balls. We had out-of-bounds plays set up perfect, and we are wide-open and nothing. That is the way it goes sometimes. Some nights they go in, some nights they don't go in, and tonight they didn't go in."
Yet Thomas Jefferson was still in the game when Yanief hit a 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter, closing the gap to 30-24.
It was as close as they got. The Schmidt sisters blocked five shots in the fourth as the Rams put the game away at the foul line.
"Those are two of the biggest girls I ever saw," DiMattia said. "For girls, that's big. That's like going against 6-8 and 6-9 boys."

.@acgrayling on #privacy: 'to lack a reserve of selfhood is almost the same as not having a self at all.'
— Dylan Nickelson (@dylannickelson) August 2, 2014
To argue that 'if you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide' is to assume that government always does good. For if government has a right to pry and a capacity to do what is wrong it will use its power of surveillance and its monopoly on violence to control the efforts of those citizens fighting for what is right. Therefore, to willingly forgo privacy is to believe it impossible that government could ever use its power for an ignoble cause, or not to care that it is possible.

We live in a time when the healthcare professions, including veterinary medicine, are receiving more attention from the general public and, especially, from the news media. This attention often strengthens the positive image of the veterinary profession with news of advanced treatments, "wonder drugs," and more personalized care. This increased scrutiny also brings with it increased possibilities for a public relations crisis.
Prevention is the best approach to crisis management. When a crisis becomes a disaster, it is usually because a communications network designed to provide a rapid response was never established or was allowed to deteriorate through neglect. Because print and electronic news services are the PR specialist's main links with the public, it is vital to understand how their reporters work.
It is important for every member of the profession to identify popular attitudes and issues that will eventually affect the profession and, if negative, to respond to them early. This means looking for abuses within the profession and addressing them before they become damaging news. Admit mistakes and cooperate, within reason, on negative as well as positive stories.
Nothing arouses a journalist's predatory instincts like the scent of a cover-up. Concealment is the green light for a reporter to go after the story. A well-known newspaper science reporter says that media specialists "should be candid, because the facts can usually be discovered anyway, and it hurts to hide them." This doesn't mean that the media has the right to run roughshod over a press liaison or a member of the profession, but remember that media belligerence often results from years of talking to "stonewalls."
While consistent and thoughtful communication with the media is the best way to prevent a PR crisis, a troublesome phone call or news story that requires a response is almost unavoidable. What steps can you take to contain the crisis or even use it positively?
Your first contacts with the media are the most critical. It is during these early exchanges that you must give credible answers while obtaining some leeway for further review of the problem. Fortunately, although all reporters want quick answers, good reporters want accurate and informed answers. They know these are often unavailable at a moment's notice.
The reporter needs something to print. Give them the best information available and remind the reporter that more time is needed for a complete answer. Promise to call back at a certain time and keep that promise. The basic principle here is never leave a reporter empty-handed, but don't say anything you'll regret later.
Knowing how to answer depends not only on the availability of information, but also on discerning what question is being asked. Although many reporters just want facts, plain and simple, others may have a hidden agenda into which they'd like to fit your response. It's vital to answer with an eye toward both.

What exactly is a battery of physical fitness tests and how do you design one?
It is simply a group of fitness tests that closely represents the various physiological demands of your sport or event.
Step one is to break down the sport (or it could be an assessment for the Armed Forces or Fire Service) into its different fitness components. For an event such as the 100m sprint or the marathon this is fairly straight forward. Games such as basketball, rugby and volleyball for example are a little more complex.
One of the more complex examples is soccer. It's an intricate blend of aerobic and anaerobic endurance, strength, power, speed and agility. The test battery should include physical fitness tests that measure each of these components. But its not enough to simply test for strength or endurance per se...
Each test must replicate the energy demands and the movement patterns within the sport. Keeping with the soccer example for a moment:
Walking 1 mile as quickly as possible (Rockport test) is less sport-specific than running in 20m bursts backwards and forwards (Multistage shuttle run).
Once the precise energy and movement demands of the sport are understood, the most appropriate physical fitness tests can be chosen. In fact the athlete or coach can even make their own test up so long as it meets the following criteria...
Whether standard physical fitness tests or self-made fitness tests are employed they should always conform to several quality standards:
This refers to the degree that a test measures what it's supposed to. This is usually straightforward - a distance run for example would not be a valid measure of explosive power. sometimes the distinction maybe a little less clear - does a particular sprint test measure ultra short-term power for example?
This refers to the consistency or repeatability of a fitness test. If an individual does not change his or her athletic ability then a reliable test, repeated twice will show no difference. The only variable the test should measure is the one it is designed to.
Case in point: body fat scales use bioelectrical impedance analysis to determine a person's body fat percentage. They rely on the fact that different tissues within the body consist of differing amounts of water. If the test is not properly controlled the scales may show a change in body fat levels when in fact they have only measured a change in hydration levels. This can easily happen if a woman is tested at different times of the month for example, and if this is not controlled then the test is said to be unreliable.
Reliability is less straightforward to control compared to validity. an unreliable test may occur because:
Here are some reliable physical fitness tests that measure strength, speed, power, endurance and flexibility. They require little or no equipment - or certainly equipment that is readily available to most people.
There are only a few reliable tests to measure flexibility. The best instrument is a goniometer (a very simple and cheap type of protractor). It can be used to measure the flexibility of most joints and the range of motion for dozens of movements.
According to the NSCA (1) a battery of physical fitness test should occur in the following order:
Here's an idea for a test battery for our soccer example...
|Example Test Battery For Soccer
|Test number
|Fitness component
|Time (mins)
|Skinfold measurements
|Body composition
|Standing jump test
|Explosive power
|30 meter sprint test
|Short term power
|Sprint fatigue test
|Power maintenance
|1-RM test
|Maximal strength
|Press up test
|Muscular endurance
|Sit up test
|Muscular endurance
|Multistage shuttle run
|Aerobic endurance
|Sit and reach test
|Groin flexibility test
|Groin flexibility
Now that you have developed your battery of physical fitness tests, use it at the beginning of your training program (usually the start of pre-season training. Use precisely the same set of tests to measure yourself about 6 weeks later and note your progress. It's a good idea to test yourself just prior to the start of the competitive season and then a couple of times during the competitive season.
