Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas™ help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, we evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Our line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Our nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for WellnessSM is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA – Fellow Nobel Peace laureates joined thousands of followers of the Dalai Lama Sunday to celebrate the Tibetan spiritual leader's 80th birthday, kicking off a three-day honorary bash in California.
A string of minor celebrities also paid tribute to the crimson-robed 14th Dalai Lama ahead of his birthday Monday, although protesters also gathered outside the event south of Los Angeles.
"Whenever I get tired or I lose hope I remember you," said 2003 Nobel Peace prize winner Shirin Ebadi from Iran.
"For 60 years you have been fighting for the rights of the people of Tibet without becoming tired and without losing hope."
The Dalai Lama was guest of honor at the Global Compassion Summit at the Honda Center in Anaheim, speaking on "awakening compassion" and the "transformative power of creativity and art."
About 18,000 followers packed into the conference center gave him a standing ovation during the three-hour event, at which he was presented with an 8-foot-high (2.4 meters) birthday cake.
"The Dalai Lama does not want any physical gifts. For him, this birthday is just like any other day," said Ven Lama Tenzin Dhonden, founder of Friends of the Dalai Lama.
"However, if we can help to create a more compassionate, kind planet, that would be the most beautiful gift of all," added the Buddhist monk, who broke down in tears at one point in his tribute.
Other speakers included rapper MC Hammer, veteran CNN talk show host Larry King and online entrepeneur Arianna Huffington, as well as TV actors Josh Radnor and Wilmer Valderrama.
Anti-landmines campaigner Jodi Williams, who won the Nobel Peace prize in 1997, sang a snippet of Happy Birthday to the aging monk.
"He always says he is just a simple Buddhist monk. He may be a simple Buddhist monk, but he is the most rocking, compassionate simple Buddhist monk I know," she said.
But not everyone is celebrating his birthday in California: protests were staged outside by Shugden Buddhists, who revere a deity denounced since 1996 by the Dalai Lama — whom they accuse of religious persecution.
Several hundred demonstrators gathered outside the Honda Center, with some holding placards that read "Stop lying!" and "Hypocrisy."
"The false Dalai Lama … changes Buddhism into political gain through lying," said one leaflet handed out by protesters.
China accuses the Dalai Lama of trying to split Tibet from the rest of China and has called him a "wolf in sheep's clothing."
In 2011 the Dalai Lama delegated his political responsibilities to a prime minister elected by Tibetan exiles in an attempt to lessen his own totemic status and secure the movement's future after his death.
But he remains the most powerful rallying point for Tibetans, both in exile and in their homeland.
The elderly monk's promotion of nonviolence along with his ready laugh have made him a global peace icon and kept Tibet firmly in the global spotlight.
He has been a unifying force for Tibetans inside and outside the mountainous region, even if he has little to show for his decades of lobbying. Formal negotiations with Beijing broke down in 2010 after making no headway.
Last year the Dalai Lama told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag that doctors had told him he could live to 100, adding, "in my dreams I will die at the age of 113 years."
On Monday the Tibetan religious figurehead will discuss climate change and "wisdom, vision and experience," including with other Nobel laureates, while on Tuesday events wrap up with a session on youth leadership.
The Dalai Lama marked his official 80th birthday last month — on June 21 according to the Tibetan lunar calendar — in Dharamsala, his hometown in exile in India.

I recently made the decision to retire from competing in professional MMA, and so the other day I took to reminiscing on my career and what exactly I achieved during that time. Now, I always knew that I was a terrible striker but the exact numbers behind just how crap I am were surprising even to me.
In a professional MMA career spanning 4 years and 9 fights, I landed a total of 3 strikes whilst stood up, consisting of 1 jab, and 2 leg kicks.
It's not for lack of trying though - during the same period I threw and missed with 12 other punches (8 of which were in one fight) and 2 knees. This works out at an average of 0.3 strikes landed per fight, and a hit percentage of 17.5%.
Even worse when you consider 2 of those successful strikes were in my last fight - without these I would have had 8 professional fights, and only landed a single strike in all that time.
I have only ever once successfully punched anyone whilst standing, and that was in my 8th professional fight. The outcome of that was insignificant to my opponent, but saw me in surgery having a metal plate inserted in my hand to repair the broken bones I sustained doing so.
Conversely, in the same time I have hit 7 slams, and have slammed my opponent in all but 2 of my fights. This works out at a slam to punch ratio of 7:1. Even Matt Hughes can't boast such figures.
Is there any other fighter in the world who can claim to be as ineffective at striking, yet as successful with slamming people as me?
Incidentally I made a career highlight video to illustrate this point, feel free to have a look - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VGHfOJIWhU

CarimiThe Chicago Bears carried rookie right tackle Gabe Carimi on their active roster for as long as they could. But with his prospects for a late-season return growing bleaker by the day, and after the loss of another starter forced some roster re-shuffling, the Bears placed Carimi on injured reserve Friday.
Carimi hasn't played, and has participated in only one practice, since dislocating his knee in Week 2. It's been mostly a lost season for a highly-touted rookie whom the Bears were trying to transition to a new position, but there is every reason to believe he will be ready to re-join the starting lineup in 2012. It would have been nice to keep Carimi active for the sake of eventual practice repetitions, whether or not he played in games, but the Bears can't afford that luxury.
Left guard Chris Williams (wrist) was placed on injured reserve earlier this week, and general manager Jerry Angelo told the team's web site that "it became tough for us to hold a roster spot [for Carimi] given our numbers on the offensive line with Chris going down last week."
Indeed, the Bears have promoted two members of their practice squad to the active roster in recent days: Ricky Henry and Levi Horn. Veteran Frank Omiyale is the other backup now that Edwin Williams has replaced Chris Williams at left guard.

Where Eggheads Put Nest EggsJeffrey M. Laderman
Want to emulate learned investors? Consider putting money in one of the no-load, low-expense mutual funds that are now offered by Teachers Insurance & Annuity Assn.-College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA-CREF), the $200 billion giant that manages tax-deferred retirement accounts for 2 million current and former faculty and staff members of 6,000 colleges and universities.
The funds, with $400 million in assets, were launched in September to meet demand from clients who wanted to invest more with TIAA-CREF than their pension plans would permit. Now, those funds have been opened to all.
The funds' records are good--but short (table). Nevertheless, TIAA-CREF variable annuities do have a history. Morningstar Inc. gives three of the group's annuity funds five stars, its highest rating, and three get four stars. "They have below-average risk and above-average returns," says Morningstar analyst Todd Porter. "Over the years, that puts them in the top 25%."
TAX HITCH. The new mutual funds come with some attractive features. One is an unusually low minimum investment for no-load funds, just $250. Expense ratios are low, too, ranging from 0.49% for the international portfolio to 0.29% for the money fund. That's because TIAA-CREF is waiving an additional 0.5% in fees and guarantees the waiver until July 1, 2000.
The problem in exporting the TIAA-CREF approach to funds is taxes. Managers for the retirement plans can trade as often they like, since the profits are tax-deferred. But these funds are taxable, and frequent trading could result in short-term capital gains, which face the same tax rates as ordinary income. TIAA-CREF is aware of this problem. "We're taking steps to minimize tax exposure," says Scott Evans, manager of CREF Investments.
The fund lineup is basic: two domestic equity funds, Growth Equity and Growth & Income; the International Equity Fund; Bonds Plus; the Money Market Fund; and Managed Allocation, which is a blend of the other five. The allocation fund levies no fees, since it invests in others that do. "These are not cowboy funds," says Martin Leibowitz, TIAA-CREF's chief investment officer. "They're not going to swing back and forth 20%--and they're not going to protect you from losses if the market tumbles."
TIAA-CREF's investment approach is a mix of indexing and active stock-picking. At the core of the Growth Equity Fund, for instance, is a portfolio of stocks that acts like the Russell 3000 Growth Index. That's an index of some 1,800 of the 3,000 largest stocks, and they're selected for their above-average price-to-book ratios and forecast growth rates. The fund manager attempts to enhance the index' return by selectively overweighting or underweighting holdings to take advantage of pricing discrepancies. The enhanced index portion of the mutual fund can range from 20% to 80% of its assets.
For the remainder, the manager has free rein to focus on a relatively few stocks--large-cap or small-cap, growth or value--that he or she thinks will beat the index handily. The advantage of the passive-active approach is that the index part is always invested, so managers are not forced to buy stocks with incoming cash.
SIMILAR TACKS. The other CREF funds take similar tacks, but with different benchmarks. Growth & Income uses the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, and International the Morgan Stanley Europe, Australia, and Far East (EAFE) Index. Bonds Plus tracks the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and the Plus portion can invest in commercial mortgage-backed securities, junk bonds, and even private placements. The 30-day annualized yield is 5.76%--nearly one percentage point higher than the average intermediate-term bond fund.
To obtain a prospectus for the new funds, call TIAA-CREF at 800 223-1200, or go to www.tiaa-cref.org on the World Wide Web. Even if you're not interested in the funds, the Web site is a must-visit. The investment education material is top-notch, and it includes primers and scholarly articles. What else would you expect from an institution that caters to professors?

[QUOTE=momsmotorsports;2397753]The Lions Club race in Berville was huge. Plenty of rules.
The St Clair County Fair race was also big.
Other than that, many of the races attended this year seemed to lack spectators. With out spectators and public interest, the market will remain stagnant.
Let's examine why new races often succeed-
A)it is a new race
B)limited/no rules
C)who knows who will show up?
D)there was public interest, both spectators and local racers.
It is no secret that racers like to use the rules, or lack their of to their advantage.
It is also no secret that each class at our races has competitive trucks that run in it. The pro street is filled with light jeeps, mikey, and matt ray. Add Frank with his new motor, Hoeze's light yota, Brendan, and Cermak Sr. The list can go on....Then You have super stock. The class used to be filled with heavy hitters ie; Henry, Bunker, El Nino, Dirty Deeds, Brown and Down, DMC Jeep, and this list can continue.
The question I beg to ask is: if a these places were to host races with the same rules(or lack of) over and over AND the same guys show up and win. Will local racers and new participants then be discouraged? Will fans not want to come out and watch the same trucks?
More Seat Time? Not many guys 'Stepped Up' to the challenge.
Frank new motor?
My truck is a tank...5090lbs...no lite s-10 here.
Just make rules so we know what to build our truck to.

Further comment on the Supreme Court briefs
Satellite and surface temp records (CEI p. 23). The main substantive thing we said with respect to this is that "all available data sets show that both the surface and the troposphere have warmed," which the CEI brief criticizes. But the quote they criticize is not ours, it is from the U.S. CSSP (2006) re-assessment (the subtitle of which is "understanding and reconciling differences"). An author of the CSSP (and of the Executive Summary, from which our quote is taken) is John Christy, who is an amicus on the CEI brief. Is he arguing against himself? Perhaps he didn't realize this CEI comment was in there when he signed on.
—- end Saleska quotes —-
With regard to the CO2 scenarios, the CEI brief cited a paper by Curt Covey. My colleague and co-amici David Battisti inquired of Dr. Covey if he had any comments about the way CEI cited his work, and he responded, saying we were free to circulate his comments. Here they are:
— begin quote of Covey email —-
Dear Prof. Battisti,
Part of my job here at LLNL is to accurately communicate the results of my work to scientific colleagues and the public. Accordingly, you should feel free to share the comments below.
Page 11 of the brief begins, "As shown below, computer models predicting future warming must overestimate warming, because they generally use an incorrect increase in carbon dioxide concentration of 1% per year." It is not true that models "generally use" this rate of increase. Model
simulations of 20th century global warming typically use actual observed amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide, together with other human (for example chloroflorocarbons or CFCs) and natural (solar brightness variations, volcanic eruptions, …) climate-forcing factors. Model simulations of future global warming use analogous input; of course it is not possible to observe the future, so a variety of scenarios involving possible atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, etc., are employed. These range from stabilization of atmospheric carbon dioxide at twice its pre-industrial value by the end of this century (IPCC SRES B1) to continuously increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide at the rate of a bit less than 1% per year (IPCC SRES A2). Each climate model simulating the future is run several times, with several different scenarios. All of this has been standard practice in climate modeling for the past ten years.
Pages 11-12 quote my 2003 review paper correctly regarding idealized simulations in which atmospheric carbon dioxide is assumed to increase at the precise rate of 1% per year. Note that in the end of the quoted passage, I say that this rate of increase could "perhaps" be considered realistic "as an extreme case in which the world accelerates its consumption of fossil fuels while reducing its production of anthropogenic aerosols." I'm no expert on scenarios, but from what I hear about China and India I wonder if the world is already on that track. In any case, the purpose of the 1%-per-year scenarios is to compare different models' responses to identical input — not to produce realistic possibilities of future climate. For the latter purpose, climate model output from the IPCC SRES B1, A2 and other scenarios has been widely used for several years and has been publicly available for
over two years on my group's Web site at http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/ipcc/about_ipcc.php.
Finally it is not true, as implied on Page 12, that "sole reliance on models to the exclusion of observed behavior" is the basis of future climate prediction. As noted above, modern climate models are used to
retrospectively simulate the 20th century as well. Simulation of 20th century global warming is an important confidence-builder for climate models. Indeed, the observed warming during the 20th century cannot be explained other than by assuming that the models are reasonably accurate
in their response to greenhouse gases. This point was clearly made by the IPCC report published in 2001. Pages 12-13 ignore all this and instead use "a constant-rate warming" of 1.8 degrees C per century "based on actual observations." A constant-rate (i.e. straight-line) extrapolation of global warming from the 20th to the 21st century, as in the brief's Figure 2, is a favorite technique of one of the authors, Pat Michaels. This technique gives 21st century warming at the low end of the spectrum of possibilities resulting from the different model-input scenarios. It is one possible future, but it's never been clear to me (or to anyone else I know besides Pat) why the other possibilities — all of which involve more global warming — should be ignored.
Curt Covey

Hope that is helpful to you and other interested parties.

| "Survival of the Beautiful is a revolutionary new examination of the role that art and culture play in nature and the evolutionary process. Taking his inspiration from Charles Darwin's observation that birds have a natural aesthetic sense, Rothenberg dives into the mysteries of why we create art, and why animals, humans included, have innate appreciation for beauty.Sexual selection may explain why animals desire, but it says very little about what is desired. The beauty of nature is not arbitrary, even if random mutation and whim have played a part in evolution. Where does the diverse beauty of bird plumage come from? Why do different species of butterflies have different-and beautiful-patterns on their wings? What can we learn from the amazing range of animal aesthetic behavior? And what about the role of art in human evolution? Art is a part of life that has been around for millions of years, yet we rarely ask or explore why and how.Now is the time to find out where beauty comes from. Beauty has come from millions of years of the magic of evolution, and now it is time to let it find us. The evolution of artistry in the animal world can once again help us understand how beauty matters in the human world too"--Provided by publisher.

Everyone knows the nursery rhyme, "Paddleboard, paddleboard, surfer man. Ride a paddleboard as fast as you can." It was the first thing we were taught as kids! Turns out that it wasn't talking about ordinary paddleboards -- it was talking about Stand Up Paddleboards. So, "Paddleboard, paddleboard, surfer man. BUY a paddleboard as fast as you can."
Anybody know if that paddle's adjustable? (And if not, what is its length?)
InFrom wrote:Anybody know if that paddle's adjustable? (And if not, what is its length?)
i'll see if i can get an answer for you.
stay tuned.
hmmmm.......definitely worth it if you have a beach house and rent them often.....
Weren't these this price before they were in sellout?
The paddle comes in 5 pieces with only 4 being used at once (handle for SUP v. second paddle for the kayak). They are aluminum that piece together and do have the ability to be adjusted slightly in size. Unfortunately I havent had a chance to use mine yet so I can't give a full reveiw.
So, I posted "What's SUP?" because I didn't know what it was. Then I read the description. Now I can't remove my post, so I have made the edits you see here. Please disregard my unrefined forum etiquette.

Mr Samuel Niklasson
Samuel "Sandel" Niklasson, 28, was born 15 May 1883 the son of farmer Niklas Peterson and Peggy Charlotta Rasmusdotter from Västra Bogane, Myckleby, Orust Island, near Gothenburg, Sweden. He seven siblings.
Samuel Niklasson was called "Sandel" by family and friends but his name was Samuel according to church registers. He had seven siblings, of them Oskar, Albert, Elisabeth, Erik and Gerda had emigrated but Magda and Hjalmar remained with Samuel on the farm. At last Samuel also had to go, it was said that he was in a very sad mood when he went around and said good-bye. He travelled with two other men from Orust Island, Karl Johan Johansson and Oscar Olsson. Johansson had lived in USA for many years, Olsson had worked there as a sailor.
Samuel bought his ticket only when he arrived in England, the reason is not known. Perhaps it is because he bought the ticket so late that he is not mentioned as a Swedish subject in either the White Star or US Senate's lists.
In Hull he bought a card, he posted it to his parents in Southampton on 8 April. That was the last they heard from him. When the ship was sinking Samuel got separated from Oscar Olsson, who survived. Samuel's body was never found.
The Mansion House Fund paid 875.52 Kr (£48) to parents 1822 Kr (£100) damage claims paid to parents May. 29 1914.

Review: Magma Digi-Control Bag XL
Full Magma Digi-Control Bag XL Review & Video: Got a Traktor Kontrol S4 or other similarly sized controller? Looking for a substantial bag that can fit your controller and a lot of extra gear too? Then the Magma Digi-Control Bag XL (not to be confused with the Magma Digi-Backpack XL which we have reviewed previously) has you in its sights. A deep, rectangular affair in black padded nylon with a red interior, this bag is designed to be carried via a handle, or over your shoulder with a detachable shoulder strap. Let's see how it shapes up...
The front of the bag has two quite large, flattish compartments that can hold various items like a controller stand, a laptop, smaller controllers (there's a compartment that's configured for the size of a Traktor Kontrol F1 or Traktor Kontrol X1 Mk 2, for instance), headphones (especially if they'll fold flattish), various leads and cables, and so on. The main action, however, takes place in the back compartment, which zips around three sides of the bag to open up completely. This compartment is very well padded, with a huge pad as a base onto which you put the Kontrol S4, and built-in padding on all sides for a decent amount of protection.
The Traktor Kontrol S4 fits perfectly, but Magma also provides various red nylon coated pads with Velcro on them to attach in positions within the compartment to reduce its size to fit controllers like the Kontrol S2, the Vestax VCI-380 and Vestax VCI-400, the Reloop Terminal Mix 2 and Jockey series, and other similarly sized models - even the Mixtrack Pro and Pro 2 fit fine.
If you remove the big pad from the "base" of this compartment, you can fit in deeper items, so you could feasibly carry pretty large pieces of gear like mixers and so on. Alternatively, you could use the whole bag as a leads and accessories bag for your PA system - for instance - making it flexible for those gigs where you're taking everything including the kitchen sink with you! Frankly, it'd do fine for a quick week in the sun, too, as it's plenty big enough for your holiday stuff.
You can't go wrong with Traktor Kontrol S4 bags in your range, which is maybe why we've received a few recently from various sources (more reviews coming up). It's such a popular controller, but also bigger than most in its class, meaning a lot of the legacy bags haven't fitted it. This one does, though, and it's strong, practical and good looking - in a workmanlike, get-the-job-done kind of way.
The real winning point is the amount of gear it'll fit; compared to, say, the Traktor Kontrol S4 flight case from Native Instruments itself - which despite its size and weight will fit little more than a cable or two alongside the controller - this can fit pretty much your full set-up and still be appreciably lighter. Of course, you wouldn't want to throw this into the hold of a plane (and it's too big for hand luggage, at least on the airlines I use), but as a bag for moving your set-up from car to venue or on short journeys on foot, or of course by public transport, it's ideal.
Product Summary
Review Summary:
Looking for a bag to fit a controller that's Traktor Kontrol S4-sized? This new bag from Magma fits an amazing amount of gear, is well-made and practical, and offers decent protection. We couldn't see much use for the small zip pocket on the front, but apart from that we think this is a great bag, albeit at a not insubstantial price.

Morgan Stanley lays off staff in Dubai.
US-banking giant, Morgan Stanley, in a sign that the effects of the global credit crunch are being felt in the Middle East, is reportedly laying off roughly 10 per cent of its staff at its Dubai office. The bank is supposed to be getting rid of somewhere between 10 and 15 people, although there is no word on who is getting the chop or which positions are being axed. The bank moved into the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) in March 2006.

Intro to Kite Surfing
Minneapolis, MN
Seasonal: during the summer months, wind and weather permitting.
Have you ever looked out on the horizon and been amazed by Kitesurfers sailing and soaring above the water? Now is your chance to try this exciting new sport!
- Over 6 years of experience teaching kiting to hundreds of students
- Learn the basics of kite safety and kite control in a safe environment
- This land-based lesson will provide you the basic skills needed to progress into riding on snow or water
This course covers the essentials to begin kiting. It will cover a bit of theory, and you will have considerable hands-on experience.
The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the sport of kiting, and teach you about how and why a kite flies, safe flying practices, and different kite types. This is a land based lesson with a small traction kite, where you'll learn kite control without risk of injury.
After completion of this course, you should have the basic skills and fundamentals to hit the water or the snow and take your kiting to the next level.
Essential Information:
This is an introductory course, so no prior experience is necessary. All equipment will be provided.
Approximately 2-3 hours
Maximum Participants:
You may be joined by up to 8 people.
Not Allowed
Weather Dependent:
This experience is weather dependent, and requires ample and safe wind. Always contact the Experience provider with any questions regarding weather conditions.
What to Wear:
This class is on land, so wear comfortable athletic clothing and bring a good pair of grippy shoes.
Booking Information:

Experience ID:
Can anyone learn to kite?
Kiting can be learned by anyone in decent physical shape. With proper instruction and adherence to safety precautions anyone can fly and enjoy kiting. The sport offers many levels of extremes and how far you choose to push it will be up to you. Some prefer to cruise around in light winds very relaxed, others are pushing the envelope each time they go out, jumping higher, trying new tricks etc. It is important to find the path that feels comfortable for you.
Is kiteboarding safe?
With proper instruction, you'll learn how to control the kite, where to fly safely and how to minimize injury to yourself and others.
Unfortunately, a lot of what people see of kiteboarding is the freestyle end of kiteboarding, where riders are hucking themselves 20-35 ft in the air, "going off". While this is a great, exciting part of the sport, it is not for everyone. Freestyle does add a level of risk that not all are comfortable with. Many riders love to quietly slice through the wind, leaving all their troubles behind, relaxing, suspended under the pull of the kite. Others like to go Mach 6 across the water or ice. Some like to carve huge GS turns downwind. Kiteboarding is about finding your ride, the ride that gives you the most pleasure with a level of risk you are comfortable with.

The Pennsylvania College of Technology (Penn College) Dental Hygiene program has been very active in community-based dental education. This year's program incorporated a new initiative, the 2010 GC Pay it Forward Dinner. The event was inspired and spearheaded by Instructor Barbara Emert-Baldwin and raised over $600 to purchase food and meals for the less fortunate of the Williamsport, Pennsylvania, community.
"The inspiration for this idea came from a friend of 24 years," says Prof. Baldwin. "He was trying to save money to see his children, who happened to live in a different state. Unfortunately due to various reasons, in order to attempt to see his children, he had to ultimately choose to sleep in his car because he did not have enough money to stay in a hotel." When she found that his cell phone service had been terminated, she paid ahead on his bill so he could continue communication with his children. Later, when he attempted to repay her for her kindness, she refused to accept the repayment and encouraged him to "pay it forward."
After watching the movie of the same name, Prof. Baldwin was struck with an idea. She emailed her students an assignment to do the same and bring their thoughts to their next discussion regarding the upcoming community dental health project. She shared her friend's story with the class. "This day and age, no one should have to make those types of choices, and we are going to help others," she told her class. "We are going to pay it forward, Penn College dental hygiene style!"
Prof. Baldwin found that a local church held a dinner for the less fortunate the first Saturday of every month. "The students rallied their thoughts, their energy, and their monetary donations to get the project started," she said. "The church gave us a menu and items to purchase, and the students came up with their own ideas to add" including food sales, donations, and raffle for four New York Yankees game tickets.
"[The students] were concerned that we were providing this wonderful meal for dinner, but what happens when these people wake in the morning with no breakfast?" she recalls. "We therefore made bags with a bottle of water, an apple, a Nutrigrain bar, a pudding snack pack with a spoon ... and of course everyone received a full tube of toothpaste, a toothbrush, and several pieces of oral health education." The teamwork and interaction of the students that day was like nothing Prof. Baldwin had seen before.
Over 140 meals were served for dinner, and several students made up 20 meals and delivered them to homebound individuals.
Prof. Baldwin wasn't the only one touched by the event. "If you have instilled one thing in me, it would most definitely be respect," commented Ms. Stephanie Shattuck, a second-year dental hygiene student. "Respect and love for those people in this world that are less fortunate than I, and I promise you that I WILL pay it forward."
"Pay it forward was so inspirational, I'll be sure to keep it going and email you all my stories," said Ms. Candace Savacool, another second-year dental hygiene student.
"This was by far the most heartwarming, rewarding community event that I have dealt with thus far and as long as I am around, I will continue this event on a yearly basis," said Prof. Baldwin. "It will forever be known under my guidance as the 'GC Pay it Forward Dinner,' for those are my dear friend's initials. He will never know how he has changed my life and in turn helped me change others."
One anonymous comment written on a survey after the program summed it up for the community: "Everyone was so nice, they did a great job, and they made ME feel important."

Comments by another community member regarding Altman Feed Mill, this time in opposition to previous comments, were heard at Monday's Saltsburg Borough Council meeting.
At August's meeting, Saltsburg resident Barbara Geisler said that she "would hate to see it (the mill) come down," but that the building was turning into a liability. She suggested that the building's lot be turned into parking spaces for the community.
On Monday, Kathy McCormick, also a resident of the town, defended the building and its owner, Eric Sutliff, stating that the building has "so much history for the town." The mill, she said, brings both history and "well over 1,000 visitors" to the community through its business — which is a number she says other businesses in the area cannot equal.
In August, the mill was given an extension on a hearing, following another six-month extension, to either sell the building or make significant improvements to it.
"Saltsburg needs this building and the business to bring in revenue," McCormick said. "Not a parking lot or welfare housing."
Council Vice President Kathy Muir said that the council would love to see it redone, but in its current state, it is a safety hazard.
"I would agree with you (McCormick) that this council would like to see the mill in a much better state," said P.J. Hruska, council president.
Trick or treating for the Saltsburg community will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 30, with a Halloween parade beginning at 7 p.m., council reported. The council will donate $200 to the Saltsburg Volunteer Fire Department for treats for the event.
Muir reported that the library is now open on Saturdays. Internet access will be available beginning Thursday at the building.
Council also approved a request on Monday by the Saltsburg Historical Society to conduct Tag Days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 18 and from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 19. Funds from Tag Day are used to support the Stone House Museum throughout the year.

German biochemists discovered an amazing biochemical machine that controls the concentration of a-thrombin, the human blood-clotting factor. The machine is a short piece of DNA that in combination with another short piece of DNA can either strongly bind or release a-thrombin through activating or deactivating a claw-like structure. The exquisite and efficient design of these molecules points to a supernatural Creator.

single mom cant shift!!
Alrighty, so I have a 94 2door jeep cherokee, straight six. so far she has been great....
Now, I got problems!!!
When she gets hot, she does not want to shift....at all!!! thinking i was low on tranny fluid, cause my mustang does kinda the same thing when shes thirsty, I put on my late husbands carhart suit and climbed underneath.
Nope, she has tranny fluid! figgered while I was down there i gave her an oil change too.
just came back from a 60mile trek into idaho and back, and dang, she doesnt want to shift again. so, turned her off, stuck her in 2nd gear, and limped back up my hill to home.
could this be the transfer case?? dont think it is the clutch, cause she goes from 1st to reverse when she is just sitting, and I took my foot off while in gear and she shut down immediately.
I'm a single mom, trying to do all this stuff on my own, and really dont have the money required for a mechanic, so i am truly hoping i can take care of whatever is the problem!!
Just today put in for vacation on 5th and 6th to take my 16yr old boy camping..I have to be mom and dad now!
so someone out there any ideas????
it only happens when she gets hot????
Re: single mom cant shift!!
When it does shift, you do hear any grinding noise?
Re: single mom cant shift!!
Good question Marcus.
Can you get it into and out of gears while stationary when it is hot and not wanting to shift? You may want to check the condition of the fluid and possibly consider draining it and filling it up with fresh fluid.
When it does it next time try applying the clutch quickly and shifting it into a gear (all quickly). You may have a master/slave cylinder concern and typically if you have a failing seal if you slam the clutch and grab a gear before the failing seal allows the clutch to reingage it will drop into gear. Just doing this will tell you if you have a hydraulic clutch circuit failure... this isnt 100% going to diagnose the car but if it drops into gear while doing this I would start with a new clutch master/slave assembly (not sure if they come together on your rig or not). Just know if this is the problem and you get it into a gear its going to start reengaging the clutch and now your in gear so either keep your for firmly on the brake and let the vehicle die or be somewhere that you can start driving ;)
By the way you speak of your husband it sounds as though something has happened recently, reguardless of time I am sorry for your loss. Ill keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers!
Re: single mom cant shift!!
Hi guys, thanks for the posts.
First, no, no grinding.
Second, when this happens, the only way I can get it in to gear is shut it off, engage clutch and put it in gear, then put my foot down on the clutch and start it.
Then I'm in second gear and limping, it will come out of gear if I use the clutch but wont go into next gear. then its shut it off, and do it all over again.
When it cools down, then she is fine, and it even seems easier to shift?
Re: single mom cant shift!!
and thank you for the kind words, 2005jgc!

Did you know discipline starts at birth?
Discipline is more than enforcing behavior. It's about teaching, and it's most effective when it's positive. Discipline also means shaping your child's character and teaching acceptable behavior. When you think of it that way, it's easy to see that discipline starts at birth. The gentle touch and comfort you give to your child, and your responsiveness to his or her cries, model behavior from the beginning of life.
When your child starts to crawl, you'll want to encourage good behavior and self-control. With this in mind, here are some helpful hints for early discipline:
Birth to age 6 months
When babies cry, they are just expressing their needs. You aren't spoiling your child by holding or comforting him or her. The attention you give your child at this time is critical to developing a special bond.
Ages 6 to 18 months
Once a baby starts to crawl, it's a good time to introduce verbal disapproval and the use of redirection. Your main goal is to keep your child safe. At this point, you need to "child proof" your son or daughter's play space. This will keep you from saying "no" all the time.
If you need to stop an unacceptable behavior or prevent injury to your child, saying a gentle "no" and using redirection will help your child learn the limits of acceptable behavior. Redirection usually means removing him or her from the situation and establishes your authority. This process maintains the child's sense of confidence and independence.
Ages 18 months to 3 years
Now that your child is talking, you also can be more verbal in teaching acceptable behaviors. Positive reinforcement still is the preferred method of discipline. Praise your child's good behavior. Your child will start to repeat this behavior to seek your praise.
Ignoring bad behavior also can be effective. This applies to tantrums. If your child is safe, leave him or her alone and ignore the behavior. Around age 3, you can start to teach acceptable alternatives to tantrums, like talking about what your child is feeling.
Timeouts become more effective when your child is older than 18 months. A timeout should be reserved for serious situations when rules are broken. A timeout should be in a quiet area without extra contact from you. Timeouts should be no longer than 1 minute multiplied by the age of the child (3 minutes for a 3 year old).
Spanking is not recommended. This may teach a child that it is OK to hit another person. Remember, children model their parents' behavior.

Part two of a five-part series
I spent Sunday morning worrying more about the color of my aura than what outfit to wear to church. If my body projected a white aura—one of suppression and skepticism—then the mediums of The Lily Dale Spiritualist Church would expose me instantly. To the theme of my paranoid nightmares, I'd be subdued, stripped, harvested for sacrificial organs, and fed to their conjured werewolves. Or perhaps they'd dangle me from a tree for spell-casting target practice. Continue reading
THE DEPROLIFERATOR — Many Americans believe that, since the end of the Cold War, nuclear war is no longer a threat. Besides, isn't President Obama tying up loose nuclear ends with his flurry of policy reviews and treaty signings? Others are die-hards for deterrence, understandable since (as I've written) it's the most difficult argument in the world to refute.
The disarmament establishment, meanwhile, dedicates itself to influencing policy but disdains reaching out to the public in any meaningful way. That war is left to latter-day peaceniks, whose campaigns, as fruity as they are fruitless, only turn off the public because they do little to address the fears that drive Americans into outstretched nuclear arms.
Connecting with a public that's either complacent or frightened requires hitherto untapped reserves of ingenuity. There must be a way, one finds oneself thinking, if we just apply ourselves. I hadn't gotten around to resorting to prayers — as with many, a last-ditch strategy for me. But, as if in anticipation, they were answered when I came across an interview at the Center for American Progress website with a man who has found a portal to the public on nuclear disarmament.

Today is "To Write Love on Her Arm" Day, a time for raising awareness about suicide prevention. In honor of the day, and in memory of those who've taken their own lives, I offer you this piece, originally posted at S&R on Dec. 12, 2008.
"Write 'love' on your forearm," my student's message said.
It seemed an odd request, but it came from someone I admired and respected, and so I read on.
To write "love" on my forearm, it turned out, would make me part of a national movement of forearm-love-writers. The following day was actually the second annual international "To Write Love on Her Arms" Day (TWLOHA), an effort to raise awareness about suicide prevention and offer support to survivors of suicide.
My student's message directed me to a website that told the story of a nineteen-year-old coke addict, depressed and distraught over the downward spiral of her life, who tried to commit suicide. With a razor, she carved "fuck up" into her left forearm. Continue reading

Radiant electrical heat (hookup and conduit)
I'm installing a new electrical heat in the master bath remodel. My last contractor routed all the wires for me and now its my turn. Manufacturer specs say to route the power wires through conduit and the temp prob hammered. We didn't do this before (mainly because the wall is already finished. I'm curious if this is needed because I don't see an option post rough-in.
Secondly the power says that it requires a dedicated circuit. I'm positive we didn't do this before and its it necessary. My plans are to spline off of a very nearby power outlet. I have a 120v mat and a 120v thermostat. Is it okay to just spline and run to my new box then hook it up?
The ones I have installed had an option to skip the conduit on old work installs where the wall is already finished.
Depending on whether the circuit powers other bathrooms you might be able to add the heat. Otherwise you will need a new circuit.
If it's not too late, whether-or-not you can connect to to an existing circuit depends on the current it will draw along with whatever is already on that same circuit. Otherwise, it will trip the breaker.

Partial Source: Pwinsider
Thanks to Adam Rigby for sending in the following:
* Suicide defeated Chris Sabin and Kenny King to win the X-Division Title after putting his feet on the ropes to steal the pin. Hulk Hogan came out and demanded to know who was under the mask because they found the real Suicide had been jumped in the back. How did they know, since they are both wearing masks? Anyway, this one escaped before we found out who he was.
* In the Gutcheck match, Adam O'Reilly defeated Brian Howl. I think those were their names.
* Sting and Kurt Angle said we would find out who the newest member of the Main Event Mafia was tonight.
* In a BFG series match, Magnus defeated Bobby Roode. Good match.
* TNA Tag champs James Storm and Gunner were interrupted by Robbie E and Jesse Godderz. The Tag champs laid them out.
* TNA Knockouts champ Mickie James defeated Velvet Sky. They did a deal where Sky was overcome with emotion because she didn't win.
* In a BFG match, Samoa Joe defeated Mr. Anderson. Aces & Eights came out but were held back by Angle and Sting, so Joe is the third guy in the MEM.
* During a promo segment with TNA champ Hulk Hogan and Bully Ray, it was revealed that the fake Suicide was Austin Aries, who now holds the X-Division championship and said he would cash it in at Destination X and win the TNA title from Ray. Nice twist – none of my friends saw that coming.
Here is a second report from Heath Pittmanof of WO:
* Suicide defeated Chris Sabin and Kenny King for the X- Division Title
* Magnus beat Robert Roode clean
* Mickie James defeated Velvet Sky. Then Christy Hemme interviewed Velvet Sky asked her what she thought and she cried. I couldn't make out what she said and no one seemed to care.
* Samoa Joe defeated Ken Anderson after Aces & 8's tried to get involved. MEM came for the save and allowed Samoa Joe to get the win. Then Samoa Joe joined the MEM.
* Hogan came out and called Suicide out and demanded him to take his mask off he wouldn't. Then Bully Ray came out and demanded him to take it off if he was going to cash the belt in for a championship match. Then Suicide took the mic and decided to talk his darkness jiberish and then finally took the mask off to revel he was Austin Aries. Saying he would beat Bully Ray again.
So I guess Austin Aries is the X Division champ and we have a challenger for the title.
wonder who else is in MEM
Austin Aries should leave tna and jump ship to wwe his talent his wasted in tna and deserves better he would have more success in wwe and efforts more appreciated
Really… do you even realize how many times WWE has had the chance to sign AA and didn't? I've become a big fan of AA, but he can't be AA in WWE, remember, they're PG.
What a troll.
r u stupid lol do you really think a small fast agile guy like Aries will get pushed in WWE let alone after leaving TNA, lol he'll be another run of the mill midcarder in WWE and be even mroe wasted there lol how does TNA waste Aries talent lol, hes a former x division champion for mer tag team championa nd aformer tna world champion doesnt sound like wasted talent to me lol
Because lol he lol is a lol wwe lol mark lol.
Austin Aries!!! Imagine if he wins then AJ wins the BFG series….match of the year!!
although thats an absolutly brilliant x division swerve, what happened to the 'genuine sabin push' and how hogans speech at slammiversary was the begining of sabin going to the top?? its brilliant creative work, but its really harsh on sabin! although id never be the one to oppose a sabin/aries fued!
I think they realized that Sabin wasn't the draw they were hoping he would be. Is he a good wrestler/talent, yes. Good draw, no.
I like you..you understand that fact that this is a business..you cant just give the title to anyone..
That's one reason why I'm dumbfounded as to why they took the belt off of Roode in the first place (when AA beat him). The company grew with Roode as champ (it wasn't astronomical, but it was growth), and it was fresh because it wasn't Angle, Sting, or Hardy as champ.
Don't get me wrong, I became a fan of AA after he won the belt (became an even bigger fan when he dropped the belt and teamed with Roode… I like the "out there, in your face" AA a lot). But the company really didn't grow under him, but I understand now what direction they were heading in (with Bully now the champ).
And people complain when Sting and Angle get the main event… the reason is, because they draw. Now I'll say this, TNA f'ed up by not promoting the AJ-Joe match at all. That match could have gotten some old TNA fans back on the couch, because that was a good match all things considered.
i agree with you there on the draw point, its just sad that this marks the end of the 'comeback momentum' for both him and suicide………but i agree, i think sabins likeable but the fact is outside of detroit, he wont get an amazing pop, at least without alex shelly at his side! phenomenal wrestler though
This is actually AJ's Achilles heel as well. Kurt Angle is the wrestling machine, but AJ is probably the best in-ring performer there is right now. I know a lot of people dog AJ because he doesn't want to play a heel, but everyone needs to realize, there are those (characters) who are natural faces and heels. Sting i.e. … natural face. Always failed at being heel. After he became SCSA, samething with Steve Williams. Remember when WWE tried to play him as a heel with the invasion angle? Didn't work… same thing with the Rock. And look at Ric Flair and HH. Both make really great heels, and people love them for it.
But I like the new direction with AJ. He's not a heel. He's more of an anti-hero.
What happens with Aries and the BFG series if he gets a title shot at destination X?
I love Joe, and I know he technically was a "main eventer", but its becoming obvious that this version of MEM wont be as "prestigious" as the 1st one..
Well, that's because of who was in it, although many people didn't like several people in the group. You had to respect that experience as a collective group. I am shocked that Joe is in the group. I figured they would have went after people who weren't in the BFG series. I'm expecting Matt Morgan and/or Crimson down the road. But back to Joe, hopefully this is used to propel him into the title picture. The last BFG series match will probably be Magnus v. AJ v. Hardy v. Roode/Anderson.
That's what I'm saying. Joe is great but tho version of mem is going to seem watered down. The last version was all legit main eventers and all legends in two own right (some bigger than others) this version (with te exception of sting and angle) is going to seem very underwhelmingSent from my iPhone
Wasn't Joe an affiliate of the original MEM? (It's about the time I started watching TNA.)
Yes he was. He wasn't a part of the original group but joined later with Taz
Yes Joe was with the original MEM. Tax mentioned he was a part of MEM because he managed Joe at that time
Joe came into the Mafia when it went to shit.
HH does an about face an they take the title from Sabin? This has got to be the start of an angle in the X-Division if so, I'm liking it. I think each division needs it's own angle, the KOs, TV title , X-Division and KOs Tag belts .The only problem is the KOs don't have enought KOs to have Tag Belts which means TNA needs to call up at least 4 more KOs to strengthen it's division. Also the TV title needs to be defened on TV which sounds easy however TNA makes it hard.
This is very disappoiting. I have been a TNA since day one, but this is why TNA is not coming anywhere close to the WWE. Why would Sting say "none of the TNA wrestlers came out to help him" at Slammiversary and then pic some of the same guys who was back stage that didnt help him? This makes no sense at all! Then just to have Crimson to leave for a year then have him comeback just to lose his 1st match back doesnt make sense as well. Crimson would of been a great member in MEM if they would of made his debut back with TNA with MEM. If Sting would of made a new MEM TNA need new stars. They could of put Angle and brought Jarret back which would make sense being he is the founder of TNA and bring 2 or 3 new faces into the company. How will this scare Aces and 8's to beat them? These are the same guys who they already beat down. I may catch heat for this, but this is just plain common sense.
You ring true on some of your points.Especially bringing back Jarrett, Crimson's loss destroying his momentum and the interest if he happened to join the MEM, and that as of now, the MEM is simply guys Aces and 8s have already destroyed..repeatedly
Tna is not coming close to wwe because the majority of fans are morons.

Massenet's Werther from the Montreal Opera
• Listen to the Operavore stream
This one might be considered Jules Massenet's "other opera." His Manon is more famous, but Werther is beginning to get the wider attention it surely deserves. Based on a trendsetting, early novel by Goethe, the opera is the story of a man whose lost love proves more vital to him than life itself.
On World of Opera, host Lisa Simeone presents Massenet's Werther in an unusual production from the Montreal Opera, starring baritone Phillip Addis. The drama's title role was originally written for a tenor, and it's now regarded as one of the great tenor roles in all of opera. But the famous Italian baritone Mattia Battistini was so taken with the opera that he asked the composer if the role might be re-written for a baritone. Massenet took him up on it, and created a new version of the opera, especially for Battistini, in 1902.
The Montreal production is led by conductor Jean-Marie Zeitouni and also features mezzo-soprano Michèle Lozier as Charlotte, with soprano Suzanne Rigden as Sophie.
Conductor: Jean-Marie Zeitouni
Werther: Phillip Addis (baritone)
Charlotte: Michèle Lozier (mezzo-soprano)
Sophie: Suzanne Rigden (soprano)
Albert: Stephen Hegedus (baritone)
The Bailiff: Alain Coulombe (bass)
Schmidt: Riccardo Ianello (tenor)
Johann: Normand Richard (baritone)

Sun has announced it will start supporting OpenID, but with a unique twist. Sun won't be offering a consumer solution, rather it's starting with its own employees.
With Microsoft, Yahoo, AOl and others embracing OpenID one might wonder why Sun's rather limited foray warrants attention, but the difference is in how Sun is using OpenID.
Tim Bray writes on his blog:
Unfortunately, at the moment, it isn't good for much, because the OpenID might be pointing at a server that's evil or silly. It's good enough for blog comments and that's about it.
What's more interesting is that we're rolling out an OpenID provider, but with a twist: You can't get an OpenID there unless you're a Sun employee, and if someone offers an OpenID whose URI is there, and it authenticates, you can be really sure that they're a Sun employee. It doesn't tell you their name or address or anything else; that's up to the individual to provide (or not). The authentication relies on our Access Manager product, and it's pretty strong; employees here have to use those crypto-magic SecureCard token generators for serious authentication, passwords aren't good enough.
Sun is the first company to use OpenID as an employee tool. Others, like Microsoft's OpenId support in Vista, are consumer tools used primarily by the bleeding edge of the techno elite. And as Bray points out, most consumer tools are problematic in an enterprise system.
But what Sun is doing could well move OpenID from handy tool for those in know, to something with real world practicality for companies concerned about security, yet wanting to keep the process of verifying identity simple and easy-to-use.
With more companies eyeing online enterprise apps as a viable solution, something like Sun's OpenID project is fast becoming a necessity.
And Sun has long history of pioneering moves in the digital identity realm. From the Liberty Alliance project to today's OpenID announcement, Sun has long led the way for companies and others looking to establish secure and effective ways of managing identity.

Merle Haggard Insists He's 'A New Man' on the Mend
Merle Haggard has had to return to the hospital this week while he continues to battle recent health issues, but the country music icon insists fans have nothing to worry about.
"Thanks to all the wonderful people all over the world that prayed their special prayers. I'm a new man," states the 74-year-old (quote via Nashville's Tennessean). "Another special thanks to the folks of Macon, Ga., for their kindness, intelligence and probably saving my life."
The 'Okie From Muskogee' singer initially entered the Georgia hospital on Jan. 17, to be treated for an undisclosed illness. He was discharged three days later, but quickly returned when he realized he was still feeling ill. Fortunately, because of his readmission, doctors were able to diagnose the root of his health problems.
According to a hospital spokesperson, the Country Music Hall of Fame member had three stomach ulcers, eight polyps in his colon and diverticulitis of the esophagus.
Thankfully, he is now on the road to recovery, and plans to return to the road in the near future. His website lists his next scheduled show for Feb. 28 in Tuscon, Arizona. See his concert schedule here.

By day, she's a criminal defense attorney.
But before work, after work, and on weekends, she's StarbucksMelody.
For the past nine months, Melody Overton has been building her brand on the blog StarbucksMelody.com. Though she is not employed by Starbucks, Overton acts as a sort of brand ambassador for the company. She promotes new products, spreads Starbucks news, and creates discussion forums for fellow Starbucks fans.
Overton is part of a growing number of brand aficionados who blog, tweet, and spread the word about a company or product they believe in. Neither a journalist nor a Starbucks employee, Overton falls in a new, undefined category. She promotes a product made by a company who has never asked her or encouraged her to do so.
"I don't think of myself as a journalist," Overton said. "I felt all along the purpose of my blog was to share the rich experience I've had with Starbucks with the rest of the world."
While Overton once believed Starbucks would welcome her blog with open arms, she is no longer sure about that. Some Starbucks employees tell her they love her blog, but Overton says she has never received encouraging messages from management. She requested a tour of the roasting plant and an interview with a longtime member of Starbucks management, but received no response.
The company did, however, invite her to the media preview event for the opening of Starbucks-owned Roy Street Coffee and Tea.
At times, Overton has written posts that she feels were not well received by Starbucks. After she blogged that a new technique called the "pour over brew" method would be coming to Starbucks stores, she received a message from a Starbucks employee saying the company wasn't ready to make an announcement yet about the practice.
"I wonder if I've become a bit of a nuisance because they can't control what I say," Overton said. "I don't want them to see me as a nuisance. I hope they'll do more in the future to reach out to me."
I asked Starbucks spokeswoman Lisa Passe what the company thinks about StarbucksMelody and other company bloggers. She said Starbucks considers the attention a compliment, and wants to build relationships with bloggers. The company shares some information with bloggers and invites them to select events, Passe said.
When asked if the blogs pose any problems for Starbucks, Passe said the company wants to be sure the information posted is as accurate as possible, even if it contains opinion. For that reason, they want to communicate with bloggers such as StarbucksMelody. On whether bloggers should be treated the same as traditional media, Passe acknowledged that "the lines are often blurred."
Since Overton launched StarbucksMelody nine months ago, she's grown blog traffic to 250 to 300 unique visitors a day. Her Twitter account, SbuxMel, has 2,000 followers. She has not attempted to monetize the site, and has no future plans to do so. Overton's biggest worry is burn out. She currently spends 15 to 20 hours a week with her blog.
"It's a part time job," Overton said. "I often spend a lot of Saturday writing content."
Overton started StarbucksMelody because she wanted to share her excitement for Starbucks with others. She became a regular customer when she took a job in downtown Seattle in 2006. Her infatuation with the brand solidified two years later, when she met Howard Schultz at two public events and toured Starbucks headquarters. The tour offer came because the company noticed that Overton commented regularly on the web site Starbucks Gossip. After the tour, Overton felt like she was on a Starbucks high. She'd met the Starbucks leadership team and shopped in the company store.
"I felt like I was being treated like royalty," Overton said.
By that time, Overton was attending Starbucks events, closely following company news, reading Starbucks blogs, communicating with other Starbucks fans, and participating in coffee tastings. She felt like she could share interesting Starbucks information and insider tips with others. Last September, she launched StarbucksMelody.
"I wanted to spread the excitement I felt for Starbucks," Overton said.
What do you think of "fan blogs" that follow companies or products? Do you read them? Do you think they provide useful information?

Here are a few cinematic arguments for living in complete isolation out in the woods somewhere, far away from civilization and demented incestuous siblings who keep cannibal children hidden away in the basement. Put the house up for sale and settle in.
The adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's early novel is a likable and spirited pre-gonzo romp but ultimately too watered-down to truly "take the bastards down."
October comes to a close with The Rum Diary, In Time, Like Crazy and Anonymous.
We saw in a dream that you wanted a list of movies that feature guys and girls with telepathy and other psychic powers, so we thought we'd oblige as soon as possible lest we become tormented with more visions of your intense wanting. Develop your sixth sense on Netflix.

Unforgettable holiday
First visit to Galicia, and what a treat. Completely different to other areas of Spain we have been to, but the holiday was made by the beautiful Casa do Pepe. Sympathetic and high quality barn conversion with all possible amenities. We were very lucky that our 2-week holiday coincided with a heatwave, which gave us the opportunity to visit. River cruises, local towns and villages, cycling, walking and relaxing in the sun, plus lovely local food and wine in bars and restaurants in the area. Thanks to Penelope for making our stay so lovely.

Understanding Memory Loss: What To Do When You Have Trouble Remembering
Help for serious memory problems
What can I do if I'm worried about my memory?
See your doctor. If your doctor thinks your memory problems are serious, you may need to have a complete health check-up. The doctor will review your medicines and may test your blood and urine. You also may need to take tests that check your memory, problem solving, counting, and language skills.
In addition, the doctor may suggest a brain scan. Pictures from the scan can show normal and problem areas in the brain. Once the doctor finds out what is causing your memory problems, ask about the best treatment for you.
What can family members do to help?
If your family member or friend has a serious memory problem, you can help the person live as normal a life as possible. You can help the person stay active, go places, and keep up everyday routines. You can remind the person of the time of day, where he or she lives, and what is happening at home and in the world. You also can help the person remember to take medicine or visit the doctor.
Some families use the following things to help with memory problems:
- big calendars to highlight important dates and events
- lists of the plans for each day
- notes about safety in the home
written directions for using common household items
(most people with Alzheimer's disease can still read)
Clinical trials and studies
People with Alzheimer's disease, MCI, or a family history of Alzheimer's may be able to take part in clinical trials, a type of research study. Healthy people with no memory problems and no family history of Alzheimer's also may be able to take part in clinical trials.
Joining a clinical trial or other research study is a way to help fight Alzheimer's disease. To find out more about clinical trials:
