2. Re: what is BPMRavi Jegga Oct 16, 2012 3:03 PM (in response to _user)Hi
In addition to what Sudipto already mentioned, here are my 2 cents. For any BPM (SOA or BPEL also) one of the core things is something called Payload. It can be as simple as a just one field or as complex as 100's of fields in a very complex XSD Schema. Read the below post casually just to understand Payload part and how that works in a BPM Process:
Re: What exactly 'PAYLOAD' Means???
Start with Hello World BPM and take step by step approach. Do not jump into all the areas like Business Rules etc in the first place.
If you have ADF knowledge, you are almost there. ADF is the core part once the process is defined. The implementation of all the screens for each step (User Task) in a Process uses, core ADF Technology.
Thanks & Welcome To BPM

3. Re: what is BPMDan Atwood Oct 16, 2012 3:23 PM (in response to _user)Regarding the BPM / ADF tie. You can think of it as being three layers - Interactive activities in a process, their corresponding human task and the ADF task flow invoked by the human task.
Oracle BPM processes can have interactive activities that are done by people assigned to a role in the process or are specifically assigned to them. An end user is assigned a work item instance when the task enters one of the interactive activities in the process that they are assigned to. When this occurs, new task appears in that end users inbox in the Workspace or WebCenter Spaces.
When designing the process, each of the Interactive activities in the process are associated with a human task when the process is designed. Each human task is associated with an ADF task flow.
At runtime, this means that when an end user clicks one of the tasks in their inbox, the human task associated with that Interactive activity in the process is invoked which in turn executes the ADF taskflow associated with the human task. When the taskflow is invoked it renders the ADF form associated with the ADF task flow to the end user inside of the Workspace.
One of the most confusing things is how the payload of the work item instance is rendered and how this can be used to retrieve ADFbc information that you are already familiar with. In addition to what Ravi and Sudipto sent you, here are a couple more blogs that might help show the relationship between ADF and the BPM process instance payload:
Using a BPM Process Variable on an ADF form to Retrieve Database Information - http://www.avioconsulting.com/blog/datwood/2012/06/19/using-bpm-process-variable-adf-form-retrieve-database-information-0
Using a Database Driven List of Values to Populate a BPM Variable - http://www.avioconsulting.com/blog/datwood/2012/07/02/using-database-driven-list-values-populate-bpm-variable
Hope this helps,

Emerging Role of HIFU as a Noninvasive Ablative Method to Treat Localized Prostate Cancer
Emerging Role of HIFU as a Noninvasive Ablative Method to Treat Localized Prostate Cancer
The use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as a method for ablation of a localized tumor growth is not new. Several attempts have been made to apply the principles of HIFU to the treatment of pelvic, brain, and gastrointestinal tumors. However, only in the past decade has our understanding of the basic principles of HIFU allowed us to further exploit its application as a radical and truly noninvasive, intent-to-treat, ablative method for treating organ-confined prostate cancer. Prostate cancer remains an elusive disease, with many questions surrounding its natural history and the selection of appropriate patients for treatment yet to be answered. HIFU may play a crucial role in our search for an efficacious and safe primary treatment for localized prostate cancer. Its noninvasive and unlimited repeatability potential is appealing and unique; however, long-term results from controlled studies are needed before we embrace this new technology. Furthermore, a better understanding of HIFU's clinical limitations is vital before this treatment modality can be recommended to patients who are not involved in well-designed clinical studies. This review summarizes current knowledge about the basic principles of HIFU and its reported efficacy and morbidity in clinical series published since 2000.
Prostate cancer remains the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States.[1] Although many treatments (eg, radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy) have been used to try and eradicate this disease, these options are still associated with significant morbidity. The goal of developing minimally invasive ablative techniques is to achieve tumor control with the least impact on quality of life.
The use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been investigated as a minimally invasive ablative technology. HIFU uses single-focus ultrasound transducers that are moved mechanically to generate thermal damage and coagulative necrosis in the target tissue. This method is gaining rapid clinical acceptance among urologists and patients, due in part to its minimally invasive character, single-session treatment, minimal anesthesia, and perceived short recovery period and quick return to daily activity. The potential clinical efficacy and progression-free survival benefit of HIFU have not yet been thoroughly investigated, and long-term evidence of disease control is lacking. The main advantage of HIFU over other minimally invasive modalities for treatment of localized prostate cancer (eg, cryotherapy) is its truly noninvasive nature, ie, the fact that there is no need for percutaneous needle insertion.
HIFU has been used with variable success in the targeted ablation of malignant growths in several other organs.[2-4] This review summarizes information about the current status and understanding of the emerging use of HIFU for the local treatment of prostate cancer. It will include a critical analysis of the published HIFU clinical safety and efficacy trials, future trends for its clinical use, and the challenges facing its widespread application.
HIFU Principles and Challenges
HIFU involves the generation of an extracorporal ultrasound wave that is focused on a particular coordinate within the prostate gland. It generates enough energy at the target point to totally destroy the intended tissue. The practical use of focused ultrasound energy for neurologic therapeutic purposes was first suggested in the 1960s.[5] However, it was not until the 1990s that HIFU became a clinically acceptable ablation modality, primarily due to advances in three-dimensional imaging and precision targeting technology, which paved the way for its wider use.
A crucial characteristic of focused ultrasound energy is its ability to generate a highly confined lesion in the target tissue. The area of demarcation is so clearly marked that the temperature is not cytotoxic outside of this region. The "trackless" nature of the HIFU is unique because the energy source is placed some distance from the target area and does not require the use of radiation (Figure 1).[6]
It is hypothesized that HIFU achieves its cytotoxic effect by two distinct mechanisms: thermal and acoustic cavitation. A target temperature of 55°C held for at least 1 second appears to be the threshold beyond which irreversible coagulative necrosis and tissue death is achieved.[7] Acoustic cavitation (AC) refers to the ability of ultrasonic waves to form small cavities within the target tissue, a process known as acoustically induced cavity nucleation, which is medium-dependent. Additional ultrasonic excitation leads to volumetric pulsation of these cavities, also referred to as bubbles. AC plays a crucial role in augmenting thermal deposition efficiency during HIFU treatment, allowing higher focal destruction at the target point, while minimizing damage to the intervening path, and thereby reducing the potential for collateral damage. Since AC directly correlates with the heating process, it is currently being investigated as a potentially noninvasive method for monitoring treatment efficacy by registering the broadband noise emissions during the bubble-collapse process.[8]
In spite of significant advances in imaging in the past decade, several aspects of applying HIFU to the treatment of prostate cancer remain challenging. Adaptive focusing due to breathing and body movement remains the most challenging aspect of wide application of this technology.[9] The "piecemeal" nature of an ablation process in which the volume of lesion destroyed at any given time is small (ie, 1–3 mm in width and 5–20 mm in height)[10] makes it difficult to achieve complete and homogeneous ablation of the entire gland. In addition, suboptimal prostate ablation can result from the uneven heat tolerance reported in some tumor cells and the influence of local perfusion on heat distribution.[10] Attempts to utilize dynamic magnetic resonance imaging for the evaluation of regional prostate blood flow may refine and contribute to ultimately achieving more complete treatment.[11]
There are currently two ultrasound-guided transrectal HIFU devices for the treatment of prostate cancer: the Ablatherm (EDAP-TMS, Lyon, France) and the more recent Sonablate 500 (Focus Surgery, Indianapolis). Although these devices are approved in Europe and the Far East, their use is still investigational in the United States; phase III trials are underway to assess the safety and efficacy of HIFU. Although both devices utilize HIFU "trackless" principles, they have some important differences.[12] The Ablatherm, which utilizes fixed-power profiles and a single multifrequency probe tip, requires a preoperative transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The Sonablate 500, on the other hand, has operator-defined power settings and uses multiple transducers with varying focal lengths within the probe tip. The target destruction lesion is smaller with the Sonablate 500 than with the Ablatherm, which makes further manipulation of the probe necessary during planning.

A quick novice question
What's the method for reattaching the hood or trunk lid skin to the inner frame. I have two hoods and a trunk lid that I have refinished (ready to shoot) but they are not anchored to the inner (or under) frame out in the middle areas. Dug a bunch of expanding foam out of one. Seam sealer? More foam? Old issues of Hot Rod?
Properly it is an "anti flutter" foam, a semi soft foam.
You want it to flex a little. If you were to use something hard it would end up showing on the outside when the metal next to it flexed and that area didn't.
Thanks. Can you point me to a product?
the expanding foam creates problems itself cause you can't control its expansion, but it is the "I-Car" recommended way if that means anything.
I use 2 part seam sealer and haven't had any issues. It does shrink but so does most stuff. if you can throw some heat on it before you bodywork then that's some insurance. the guy who taught me this also does them on door skin intrusion beams after he slices it close to the skin to leave the foam on the impact bar. His word can be trusted as well. He has owned a shop for 30 years and has been doing it that way for a long time.
What Henry described is exactly how I have done it for years, leave the original foam on the beam and simply put a little urethane seam sealer over it before the skin is laid into place.
I have used Winzer (a wholesale shop product) products for the last number of years and haven't any experience with any other but 3M, SEM, Fusor and many others make an anti flutter foam.
You want the foam so that it gives a little bit with the panels. That is why the factory uses it.
a little off topic but it's good advice nonetheless. Any time you are working a hood or deck that has an inner shell adhered to the skin, you must focus in on imperfections more than ever. The old painter used to say that it was completely acceptable to have a swallow or two on hoods and decks and that it was normal. That didn't fly with me and was completely unacceptable to at least not try to improve your work on them. So for a period of time that was my focus, to just focus more on them and to not let "primer handle it". There's really no such thing. I don't know why anyone would ever say that. That's about as stupid as saying once you block out the guidecoat on the low spot that it's going to disappear...it doesn't!!! So anytime someone says "we'll let primer handle it", you will be addressing that area thru EVERY round of primer and may decide when it's much too late in the process to skim the area in question when you just could have done it to begin with. You learn this from letting stuff go by to primer and then you deal with it and learn exactly what NOT to leave for primer. You do that for about a decade and you'll come to the conclusion that you should leave NOTHING for primer but good straight work. My point, don't take it to primer til you feel it by hand and have no question at all about it. Not so critical anywhere else, or shall I say, not as easy to be fooled by it anywhere else. Being fooled by it means you're excited about how straight it's gonna be then you puke when you see it finally in paint. Those kind of surprises are the worst but hard work and attention to detail and mistakes will eliminate that.
Great advise tech69 and it's coming at the just the right time. I have a 73 Satellite in the shop that is moving to primer. Big, long hood with big radius quarter/doors/fenders.

Internet café
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Internet café (also called a Cybercafé) is a type of café. It is a business that provides Internet access to the public, usually for a fee. It also sells coffee and food. Internet cafés were introduced in the 1990s.[1] The spread of modern-style cafés to many places, urban and rural, went hand in hand with computers. Many Internet cafés offer wireless Internet or have computers customers can use. They also offer telephones and newspapers. Internet café users need to be aware they have less security than most private networks.[2] They are also more exposed to malicious software, also called 'malware'.[1]

Such cordiality! Tops the 5-star hotels. You've got
tenacity! But, goodness...does it get cold and slippery here in
January!! Thanks again, Bob, for rescuing our van from the
slippery slope. I loved the perimeter trail and took it a few
times around. This is a wonderful, peaceful place. Gerald &
November, 2015 This was our 5th time being here for
Thanksgiving and as usual, it was wonderful. We enjoyed our family
time together playing games and doing crafts together. Despite the
constant rain, we dodged some rain drops and went for some short hikes.
The girls were thrilled to see all of your animals again. Thank
you for your wonderful cabins and hospitality. The Andersons
July, 2015 Staying at the Coyote Hollow cabin was perfect for
our family!! Weather was hot and humid, but we cooled off at
Pounds Hollow Lake. This is our first time visiting the area.
Shawnee National Forest was a perfect getaway for us gals from the west
suburbs of Chicago. Garden of the Gods was breathtaking; watched
the sunset while sitting on top a bluff. Enjoyed all the animals
on your property. Even had a toad visit us on the front porch
every night!! We went horseback riding and took a cayak tour on
the Cache River (our dog even went with) We had a wonderful time.
Thank you!! P.S. The cabin was very cute and cozy. Very
clean and appreciated all the amenities. Ilene, Kim, Kayla and

October 2012
Thank you for the wonderful stay. The cabin was spotless and you
thought of everything. The fall here was just breathtaking.
I couldn't get enough of those colorful trees. Your farm is just
beautiful too! Tonight is our last night and I don't want to go
home. We are going to have a bad storm tonight too. We have
never walked so much in our lives, but the trails and sites were
awesome. My other favorite thing to do was sit on the enclosed
porch and read. It was so wonderful out there that I didn't want
to come in and go to bed. I could have spent the whole night out
there. Also, you put a lot of work in the book of things to do.
Thank you, it was great. We are going to miss this place and hope
to be back real soon. Ron & Joy P.S. The storm
was a whopper, but I enjoyed the porch during the storm Linda's
cobbler was awesome.
October 2012 Cabin was very nice and we had a wonderful time at
Rim Rock Trail. It was beautiful. It was great that this
place is centrally located to so many attractions. Jim, Linda,
Allan and Wendy
September 2012
What a fabulous time we had during our stay here. You made us feel
right at home and for that we are so grateful. You sure do have a
little piece of heaven right at your fingertips...we did our best to
take advantage and enjoy as much as we could. Thank you for all of
your great suggestions as we were not disappointed with our adventures:
Garden of the Gods (beautiful sunset), Rim Rock (fantastic hike), Pounds
Hollow Lake (great fishing), Cave in Rock (what a view) and Amish
Country (yummy treats). And not to be underestimated is the scenic
hiking trail right here at our front door. Oh, and Double M's good
was delicious) As first time visitors are expectations have been
exceeded and we CANNOT wait to get back...SOON! It was a wonderful
trip and a perfect birthday getaway. Many thanks to Linda for the
yummy birthday treats too! Good thing we did a lot of hiking.
Again, much thanks to you both for all that you do and for sharing your
treasure with us all. Johnny, Anna, and Barkeley
Attaway, Il
August 2012 Thank you for everything! This paradisiacal
place is just perfect, and we have high hopes of returning in the future
- perhaps an annual family outing is in order. The grounds and
lodging are just beautiful. The soft of peace that attends us here
is delicious. Some of us just arrived from big international
cities and this place has served as a very welcome soul-soother.
Thank you also much for your warmth and hospitality. Your kindness
has really helped us feel as though we are right at home here.
Jack, Lily, Ophelia, Kevin Napierville, Il
June 2012 This was
our first trip to the SNF and it won't be our last! Despite the
extremely hot weather, we had a terrific time exploring towns, swimming
at Pounds Hollow, fishing at Glen O Jones, rummaging through antique
stores, hiking numerous trails and eating delicious food at several of
the restaurants you recommended in "the book". "The book" was our
guide for the week - we took it in the car on every trip, which helped
us find so many wonderful sites in the area. Thanks for all the
work you did on "the book" We truly appreciated having it all week
long! Our favorite part of the cabin is the porch - yes, even in
this hot weather. We loved the feeling of being in the woods, by
ourselves - something that is hard for city people to experience.
Thank you for your hospitality! Mary and Fred Chicago
February 2012 Thank you, Bob and Dixie for a very peaceful and
beautiful experience. I, too, was looking for a pet friendly
cabin. Your website and video totally impressed me in it's very
professional, yet down-to-earth presentation. Your prices are
good, the cabin delightful and, your sanctuary here is so peaceful and
delightful. I so enjoyed all your animals.. how sweet they are.
I took photos of most of them. The cabin's layout is great.
Whoever built this cabin is quite the master crafts person(s).
This area is heavenly - especially Garden of the Gods -
aptly named. Peace, Betty and Sugar Bear - my 6 lb
Pomeranian, Madison, Wi
February 2012 (I put this one in just for Bob.
You'll see why dd) We were looking for a pet friendly cabin on the
internet and found this place. Everything about Rim Rock's Dogwood
Cabins impressed me. The first thing was the web site. Bob
and Dixie just looked like good people. The web site was very well
done and informative...then when we arrived the layout and cabins are so
nice. Plenty of elbow room between cabins and the cabins are
beautiful. Much thought has also went into everything they furnish
you within the cabins. We did not want for anything except popcorn
(LOL) Marlis and Linda met Bob and Dixie and came back to the
cabin with nothing but praise for them. Now I could tell by the
video on the internet that Bob was a sharp looking guy, but Marlis came
back to the cabin saying he looked like Clint Eastwood and Linda said he
looked like Robert Redford. Go figure! We enjoyed our stay
here very much and went on some good hiking trails. I hope
everyone who stays here with their dog is very considerate and cleans up
after themselves. It is a privilege to be able to bring our dogs
here, not a right. Thank you, Bop and Dixie (See you
in May) Ron and Marlis Boonville, Indiana
February 2012 We loved our stay at Eagle's Retreat. What a
treasure, right here in Il! We enjoyed and were in awe of the
natural beauty all around. We especially loved Garden of the Gods.
I felt our cabin, Eagle's Retreat, was an amazing place to stay and so
much more. Dixie's knowledge and shared information of the area
was like having our own personal tour guide. We would have missed
out on so much if we had not had the information provided. We were
also so blessed to be able to take our family pets with us. This
was a first for us, and our dogs loved it!!! We will definitely be
coming back. Our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer!
Blue Mound, Illinois.
February 2012 After two days of hiking, we feel
awe-inspired toward God for the beautiful landscape, such as Garden of
the Gods and Rim Rock, etc. Hard to believe that "flat" Illinois
has such gorgeous scenery. The cabins are in a great location with
very generous owners filled with lots of hospitality! Thanx so
much! Johnny, Phillip and Nick Arthur, Il
December, 2011 All we want to say is thank you!
What a peaceful time we have had. Kids loved the hiking, playing
games and just time together. We are excited about our next visit
with you. David, Janie, Anna, A.J. Harrisburg
August 2011 Beyond the overwhelming beauty of this place, we
appreciated all the thoughtful gestures and amenities ...too many to
mention. The swings, the birdfeeders, the plants that attract
hummingbirds and butterflies. The little lamp and fan in the
loft...these all enhanced our stay so much. Thank you - we'll be
back. Debra, Kirkwood, Mo
August 2011 You have made a home in the country
for all of us - we are grateful for your hospitality and the creativity
you share. The sitting gardens, the beautiful begonias on the
stoop, the cougar photos and the trail through the woods - all convey
your love for the natural world and the guests. We will come
again. Sandy, University City, Mo
August 2011 Rim Rock Dogwood Cabins offered our
family a getaway from our overly busy summer and time to reconnect
before school starts. Bear's Den offered a great location that was
central to so many attractions in the Shawnee National Forest. Garden of
Gods was a great climbing hike for our boys and offered an amazing view
of the hills. Pounds Hollow was a great lake to swim in! It
was clean, the sand fine and not very busy. This cabin is so
clean. The air conditioner helped with the warmth and the hike
around the property was wonderful. We would recommend it to
anyone. The Peterson's, Bloomington, Il
2011 Wonderful time with family in Eagle's Retreat. Loved
1.6 mile hike around property. Really burns calories and what a
workout with the live nature channel! Love the property with the
animals. Loved walking with Bob and Dixie's dogs. Beautiful
flowers everywhere. The cabin was perfect for coming and going of
different family members. Plenty of room for family gatherings.
Wished we had more time here. Amish country is a great place to
shop! If we did not get enough exercise it was our own fault... so
many areas of hiking to go to. "The Oklahoma Gang" Darrell,
Cindy, Zane, Brenna, Bonnie (our absentee dog Fred)
2011 This turned out to be the perfect place to get away and
recharge our batteries! We hiked Rim Rock to Pounds Hollow.
On another day we hiked Garden of the Gods....but the best part was
right here at the cabin - sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee in
the mornings ...enjoying nature's sounds. A camp fire every
evening..roasting hotdogs and toasting marshmellows - I haven't done
that for many, many years. What a wonderful, serene place you have
here. Hope to see you soon. The Kusters
April, 2011 What a beautiful cabin and wonderful
surroundings. We so enjoy being out in nature. The hiking
was fabulous and even though I was a bit nervous because our Saturday
morning sarted out with rain - thunder the day was absolutely GLORIOUS!!
Wish we could have stayed another night because there is so much to see
and do here. Thank you - we will be back again very soon.
Karen & Adrian
Mar, 2011 We love our cabin and enjoyed our
stay. Very relaxing and accessible to so many hiking trails.
It was WONDERFUL for Jessie (dog) and we appreciate the use of the cage.
Perfect. We really had many wonderful, solo hikes...amazing more
people weren't here. Hope to be back soon. Jean and Theresa
Jan 2011 We had a wonderful time this past
weekend! We absolute love the coziness of Bear's Den. Our
greyhound, Angelina, settled right in and made this her home away from
home We ejoyed the area trails and all of your animals.
We're pretty sure Angelina thought they were large greyhounds.
Thank you for creating a wonderful getaway. Eric, Megan & Angelina
December 2010 I just wanted to let you know our family enjoyed our
stay at Deer Run. It was fabulous from the moment we walked onto
the screened-in-porch. I loved all the extra touches; the lights
and the Christmas trees inside. It was very private, comfortable
and cozy. The teenagers appreciated their own space in the loft!
Violet loved sledding in the snow. It was perfect weather for
winter fun. We are already talking about our return trip, and
although I loved December, we may come back in the spring or fall to be
able to enjoy the warmer weather and longer hiking on the trails.
Thank you again for the hospitality! James, Julie, Kiana, Darian
and Violet
October 2010 I think Coyote Hollow is the best
Rim Rock Dogwood Cabin of them all. We loved the horses. I
liked the black ones the most. I loved the dogs. The view
was great. Me and Dad went on a really cool hike through the woods
behind the cabin. It was great. I would give the cabins 5
stars in all. It was perfect. See you next year and thank
you. Darin 12 yrs, Megan 8 months
September 2010 Thank you so much.
We drove down from Albany and you happen to have a cabin on short
notice. We came for our 23rd anniversary. This is a
beautiful cabin.. homey. The animals were great and your horses are
beautiful. It's quiet. It's the nicest cabin we've ever
stayed in. Our little Skeeter loved it. We drove down to see
the Garden of the Gods...just breathtaking. We ate supper at the
Red Onion and cam back after dark. The cabin was all lit up...this
is a spectacular cabin. Your hospitality was really appreciated
and we saw two young deer crossing the road tonight and even got their
pictures. Love to come back. Thank you Loren & Roxy,
Albany, Il
April, 2010 Thank you for another relaxing
weekend! This was our 7th stay, and each stay gets better and
better! We've come a long way since our first stay 7 years ago
when we were engaged at Cougar Bluff cabin!. We will be back again --
next time with a new addition. Our son is due July 16th and we
can't wait to add him to our tradition of staying at your cabins.
I loved the massage therapist that came to the cabins for a prenatal
massage...it was much needed. Even though all of our cabin
memories are at Cougar Bluff, we look forward to new memories here at
Coyote Hollow which has a lot more room for the family. Thanks
again and we'll be back soon. Chris & Jennifer
Mar, 2010 From the moment we
arrived at Coyote Hollow we knew this would be an enjoyable experience.
The countryside here in Southern Illinois is beautiful and we couldn't
have picked a better time to come. The cabin was the foundation of
the trip and it made a strong beginning. Thank you. April,
June, 2009 "What a
beautiful piece of earth! We've enjoyed our stay here at Rim
Rock's Dogwood Cabins. As a travel reporter for WGN-TV News I can
tell you that there's no more beautiful place to stay and enjoy the
beauty of Southern Illinois. Rim Rock gets my vote as one of the
top 10 places to stay in the entire state of Illinois. (and I think it
probably ranks up near the top of the list!) "
Julian Crews WGN Cruisin' Il
08/06-11, 2009 We came for the Annual
Gathering of the Juggalos...3rd year and we couldn't have been happier
making Cougar Bluff our home for the days we spent in the area.
With all the craziness that is the Gathering it's a pleasure to come
back to the cabin, to the quiet, and peacefulness. Thank you so
much for making all of us smile and feel content, and most of all at
Home. With that we give you a huge WHOOP WHOOP (a true Juggalo
compliment) With much (clown) love, Krista, Michael P
(Connecticut) Emily and Michael (N. Dakota)
08/03 Another relaxing, rejuvenating stay at
Cougar's Bluff. Thanks for all the special touches that make
things so beautiful. This is the one place in my life where I
truly feel relaxed. Patti Evansville, In
07/30 - 08/02 Thank you so much for a great
"long" weekend. This place was better than on-line. The
websites don't do it justice. We will be back. There was not
enough time to see and do everything...We will never forget our
honeymoon. Make sure anyone that comes here READS THE BOOK.
She has covered everything and you will miss out. My best words of
advice...READ THE BOOK. If you can think of something to do it's
in the book. We hope anyone that comes here will have relaxing
days like we did. Than you once again for a great experience.
Erin & Ryan Glasford, Il
07/18 This has been such a joyful trip for
our family. I was really surprised that my kids enjoyed the beauty
and hiking as much as me and Dave. They said this is "the best
trip ever." Jeanne, Dave, Rebecca, Hannah & Adam
06/21 - 23/2009
Coyote Hollow is just darling and so welcoming. My sister and her
family , my dad and brother's kids stayed in Eagle's Retreat so we were
able to easily visit each other. Not many places allow pets, and
you two are wonderful for welcoming them as well...what would a vacation
be without the ones you love, right? From our family to yours
THANK YOU!!! Everything was simply perfect, and we will definitely
be back as long as you will have us....Thank you Dave, Dawn,
Sheela (the Speedbump Dog) and Dizzy (the Wonder Cat) Aroma Park,
06/17-21/2009 We were here for a mini family
reunion and had a great time. The hike from Rim rock into Pounds
Hollow Lake was a great hike with a good reward. Water was great
and no one else around. Jackie, Bruce, Matt & Carrie
06/20 - 26/2009 Been to many different cabins
in six different states and none have been as nice as this one. We
enjoyed it and will be back. Cabins are kept very clean. The
Fenwicks, Illinois
06/19 & 20, 2009 Best place we have ever been
"camping". Beautiful property and the entire area. Great
facility. We will be back. Thank you The cabin
and area were amazing. You guys really take care of this property!
We'll definitely be back. Thank you very much.

start our lives together. The cabins and the land surrounding them
were just gorgeous, and we had a great time.....Rachel & Michael
We have so enjoyed our first time
down to Rim Rock and the Shawnee National Forest! Coyote Hollow
has been our home away from home - you have thought of everything to
make our stay pleasurable. We have thoroughly enjoyed our
campfires, meals on the porch and the beautiful surrounding property.
During our short stay we have gone fishing several times, horseback
riding and hiking in many many scenic spots. Our last minute
getaway before school starts has been a total success and a wonderful
family memory. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.
Brett, Tamra Alex, Matthew, Tyler, Justin 8/17/08
Well, our little summer vacation was
a complete success! We've loved this cabin in every way and the
kids especially loved all your animals. Thanks for all your work
in providing such a lovely space. Loved the porches, flowers,
kitchen, beds, tv, etc. All wonderful. Ben and Susan
Absolutely perfect, cabins are
spotless, have everything and are decorated to make one feel right at
home. The meal catered to the cabin by Linda was the best....very
reasonable and tasted GREAT! The area is so beautiful. We'll
be back. Nancy and Ron 5/21/08
Thank you for a wonderful,
relaxing vacation! We had no idea how beautiful the Shawnee could
be. We loved our own little nook in this cozy comfortable cabin.
You thought of everything. We'll be back...we'll spread the word!!
Pam and Lon 5/20/08
We are honored to be the first

just what I had imagined! Total relaxation! We will be sure
to tell our family & friends about your little piece of paradise!
Elisabeth & Dave 5/17/08
I am fortunate in my career and
travel Internationally - China, South Korea, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil,
etc.... I haven't been everyplace, but do travel very well - 4 & 5 star
hotels all the time. The condition and completeness of your cabins
and your hospitality rival anything I have ever visited...and that
includes major suites. Thank you again for letting us pop in on
such short notice. Everyone we know will hear positive raves about
this place!!! John 5/05/2008
absolutely love the cabin!!! It's beautiful. I like the night
sky...I don't think I've seen so many stars! It's quiet here.
We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit. The cabin was the best
part of our vacation. We will be recommending this place to
everyone! Dan & Jennifer
Thank you for such a relaxing and
wonderful three days! The cabin is adorable. We had so much
fun seeing all of the wildlife around here. We hope to see you
again. Jon, Kelly & Brooke What a wonderful place you have!
My husband and I were looking for a memorial weekend getaway and this
place was perfect! The cabin is great, you truly thought of
everything....and it is so clean! We also enjoyed that the cabins
are spaced out enough to feel private and secluded. We had a great
time relaxing, hiking and fishing. Thanks for a wonderful trip.
We hope to come back real soon. Sarah, Jon and Sawyer
Thank you so much for a wonderful 2
days. The cabin is perfect (& spotless!). We hiked a lot at
Rim Rock and the Beaver Trail. The satellite TV and DVD player
worked great and the kitchen was very well stocked. Can't wait to
get back here again for a longer stay. Thanks for your
hospitality! Derek, Sr., Meredith, Derek, Jr & Nikki
Thank you so
much for this wonderful place!! The cabin is a true gem - all the
comforts of home in a most beautiful setting. Fran
This is our second stay at your cabins. We were so impressed the
first time that we brought friends along this time to enjoy the
wonderful scenery and your great cabins. Tom & Brandy
Christmas at Rim Rock was delightful. Your
thoughtful preparations and decor made it feel like being home for the
holidays - cozy and welcoming. Terry
We really enjoyed our stay. Very quiet and peaceful made relaxing
very easy. We really enjoyed the "wildlife"...dogs, deer,
peacocks. The accommodations were fantastic, clean and so
thoughtfully supplied. Duane, Tracy, Ben, Beth, Meghan &
We loved this place!! Beautiful Rim Rock and Pounds Hollow.
Hiked trails in dappled sunlight...just changing autumn leaves - the
quiet was amazing. Loved that the cabins were apart - close enough
to you for comfort - but far enough for a feeling of solitude.
Can't say how much it meant to be able to bring our "children with fur
coats - couldn't ask for a more dog friendly environment. We'd
recommend it unconditionally and are blessed because of the experience.
Margy, Janet, Boo & Jade
You've done a tremendous job with the cabins and amenities. Truly delightful.
There is only one word to describe your cabins – "Ahhhhhhh" This has been the
perfect place to relax.
Thank you for the attention to detail. We felt right at home.
The place is incredible, so peaceful & serene.
Probably the best vacation we have ever had. This cabin is great, it is peaceful
and we could not believe how equipped it was.
Thanks for great accommodations. You didn't miss a thing in stocking the cabins.
We had a perfect anniversary weekend.
The cabin atmosphere is so great we didn't even go anywhere.
The cabins are sooo cute and spotless.
We are literally counting the days until we come back.
This place is great! All of the well thought out extras are wonderful.
A perfect place for us to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. Loved the cabin
and arbor.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us. Last night the sky was clear
and the stars were amazing. We enjoyed the cabin and hiking on the trails. The
cabin made us feel right at home.

I don't even know where to begin…..so i thought i would just start at the beginning.
When i first even thought about possibly going to Iceland….it was about a year ago…..i had come across a photo
on Pinterest that had spiked my curiosity……never have really even given it a blink of a thought whatsoever.
Then the more i started researching it…….the more i was falling in love.
Then as Bryan and i were chatting about my upcoming turning 4o……asking if maybe i would want to
go somewhere…..i brought up Iceland and Bryan just laughed.
but then i told him if we could afford the plane tickets over then i would work extra shifts at my job
in order to pay for the entire time there.
shut the front door……he was in.
We booked our tickets for October……i knew i wanted to see the Aurora Borealis {northern lights}
I know i didn't want to be there in the dead of winter
I knew the weather there is totally unpredictable…..lots of rain, it's cold but not Chicago cold,
the summers have 24 hours of daylight…..the middle of Winter they have almost 24 hours of darkness.
The Northern lights are supposed to start up the end of September and go thru March or April…..
so i got online and found the least expensive fare i could find which wasn't bad considering we were flying
from Kauai. The tickets were booked…..and because Bryan could only take about a week of work off….
we were only going to be able to have just 5 days/4 night in actual Iceland.
Because of the logistics…….we also had an overnight in Seattle on the flight out
and an overnight in Edmonton, Canada on the way back which actually worked out well because of the
sheer amount of travel involved.
14 hours of fly time……..and a 10 hour time difference between Kauai and Iceland is not for the faint of heart.
We did it though….and lived to experience one of the best places we've ever been.
Now i write about it.
::Day One::
I've never stayed in a hostel before but damn it…..we were going to stay in the coolest one i've ever
come across. I want to point out too that over the last four months i've spent more time online researching
so of course i did a lot of my research on Trip Advisor and read all the reviews.
The Kex had very mixed reviews……..people either loved it or hated it.
I knew we wanted to experience it…..the Hostel experience but not necessarily the shared bunk bed sleeping rooms.
The Kex offers Private rooms with shared baths and that is what sold us.
If you go in with an open mind about it….you won't be disappointed.
The decor was AMAZING
hands down
one of the most beautiful places i've been in. It used to be a biscuit factory….Kex Biscuits….
the owners have filled every single room with the best vintage furniture.
They offer Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and the food is wonderful. The package we opted for
were 2 nights in a private room with shared bath, breakfast one morning and a one way
transfer from the airport to Kex via flybus.
There were about 4-5 bathrooms per floor on each floor which was ample but you can choose to have your own
bathroom……but you are paying more……
and because it is a hostel….and not a hotel
in which a person could somewhat be confused but i don't know how they could…..
but it is a hostel.
The Kex does on occasion have live music that plays on the first floor…..
and the metal room doors are loud every time someone opens them….
but we knew this going in……
and we would stay here again in a heart beat. We Loved our experience.
{free advice~ take your showers in the morning….hot water goes fast….and if you can secure the
4th floor than you are golden…..but if not…..they have free earplugs by the dozens by the front desk}
this is what jet lag looks like……
we had just arrived to drop off our luggage
Most of the flights coming into Iceland land first thing in the morning….and because check in at any hotel
isn't till at least 2……we knew we had time to explore.
After i had booked our trip i found Audur's blog….. I heart Reykjavik
her blog was a wealth of information and she also offers a 2 hour walking tour of Reykjavik
which we were part of.
I'm not going to lie……that first morning was cold
we had arrived in Iceland and my very first thought was…..
but i had to remember that we were coming from weather that was 88 degrees and very humid…..
my body was going to have to get used to being cold again.
It was a little windy……but the sun was out.
amen to that because from i know……it rains A LOT…..it's overcast A LOT……..the weather can change
4 times in a single hour.
The walking tour met at the Hallgrimskirkja Church……
we actually got there a few minutes early so were able
to take the elevator to the top of the church and
you can see all of Reykjavik and its colorful beauty.
I was able to pull out my only pair of boots that i brought to Kauai with me….
i was very very happy.
After the walking tour there were 2 places i wanted to hit.
*Kolaportid Flea Market
*The Red Cross thrift shop
both are wonderful places to shop vintage……but there are other amazing shops all around town…..
what i think i loved most was around 4pm the shops start putting wine and cheese out….
so of course we partook in a little tasting at each shop we stopped at.
Side note: most shops open late and close early…….something like 12-5
so if you wanted to spend time shopping after dinner…..you are out of luck….only a few touristy
places are open late.
::Day Two::
I found Ymir via my new best friend Trip Advisor…….
i've learned most people just read the first few pages …..but i've learned to continue on reading
and reading
and reading
and that is where I found our new friend Ymir.
He offers private tours…….and because we were not renting a car except for one day …..and there were
a few places i really wanted to see but weren't offered on group tours…….. Ymir totally rocked our Day Two.
Iceland orgasm i tell you.
Ymir picked us up at 9 in the morning at the Kex……and we headed straight to the place that was the photo
inspiration i had seen on Pinterest that made me dream non stop about Iceland for 6 months.
we parked the car and hiked about a mile up following the river
Seljavallaulaug Pool
The pool is nestled in a narrow valley below the infamous Eyjafjallajokull {try pronouncing that…}
and it's the oldest swimming pool
in Iceland that is still standing. It was built in 1923 by some visionaries who wanted to provide locals with
a place where they could learn to swim.
the pool was very warm when we arrived…….there was a pipe filtering in piping hot water out of the
side of the mountain right into the water.
The pool was also filled with lots of algae at the bottom…..which would be all gross anywhere else
but we were in Iceland and we were getting in and swimming in the pool if it was the last thing we did.
while we were swimming around… Ymir served us some champagne …..some yummy little sandwiches
and my favorite were little lobster bites.
This was just the beginning.
Next up on our adventure was seeing Skógafoss
At first i thought i wouldn't be impressed because we have many waterfalls here on Kauai
but i was wrong.
There were waterfalls everywhere……because of the amount of ice higher up in the mountains……
these waterfalls run full force all year long.
Our third stop was another one of my choices…….
i had seen numerous photos of this abandoned wreckage of a US NAVAL airplane
and i wanted to see and photograph it myself.
After a few wrong turns and a call to Ymir's friend……we found the right spot just off the road
and drove a few miles down black sand till we pulled up to it.
I had this vision before we left that i wanted to photograph the abandoned ……..
the pool a good start and now the plane..
….but should i ever go back…..what i would love to do is cover the entire county…….
we passed by many farms and homes in the countryside that would love to have their walls
photographed……i just know they would.
In 1973, a United States Navy airplane crashed on the black sand beaches of
Sólheimasandur. Apparently the crew survived but the wreckage is still there and over time this
is what remains.
Fourth place on our list was Sólheimajökull Glacier
{ outlet of Myrdalsjokull glacier}
There were many people up and around on tours that would let you hike a glacier…..
and while that seemed all great and fun……we arrived only to hike up and walk on one.
We didn't even have to fall down or get cold.
Scrap that……it was a little cold.
It is not safe to hike up without a guide……so don't try it.
we only made it to the base just to look at the glacier but because of the rapid rise of melting going on
{global warming……what a mind blowing experience to see the effects in person…. at the rate it's
melting now these glaciers will be completely gone in the next 100-200 years} there are holes
and caves below the ice that can swallow you up faster than you can yell SHEEPSKIN.
the blue color is out of this world…….
After we saw the glacier……..Ymir took us to another famous waterfall…..
they say it's Icelands most famous waterfall…..
you can even walk behind it……
and it was beyond gorgeous my friends……..
At the end of our day with Ymir……
we stopped at the Eyjafjallajökull visitor center and watched a short video on the 2010 eruption
that halted air traffic for 2 weeks from Europe because of the ash.
While we were watching the video……Ymir was outside setting up a little picnic for us.
Iceland is know for their sheep…….
they are everywhere…….and just like most americans love their beef……Icelanders love their lamb.
Ymir grilled up lamb filet for us……and i swear it was the best thing we've ever eaten.
He even made us try fermented shark…….i have to say….not a fan.
And of course he filled us up with wine and local beer and his wife made us the most delicious
desserts in what else…….little jars!
::Day Three::
We woke up on day 3 thinking it can't possibly be sunny again…..at least one of these days its
going to show us what Iceland weather really is.
Nope….looked outside and it was sunny. Amen Amen Amen
I don't really remember when i had come across Salteldhus cooking class…..
but when i did i knew it was something i wanted us to take.
We've never taken a cooking class…..but damn it……if we were going to …..it was going to
be an Icelenadic cooking class.
I conveniently booked the class on day three knowing we would need a reprieve from the last 2 days
of constantly being on the go.
The class was from 11-3…….we were going to make a 3 course lunch and then eat…..
sounded great to me.
We showed up right at 11…….walked in and found out that it was going to just be a private class
that day.
shut the front door
a private class……………just us. We pinched ourselves.
Just like the the girl that orchestrated the Walking tour…..our instructor was also name Audur.
This was Audur's studio…….and it was beautiful.
We started off by making Arctic Char sous vide with a pressed dill potato salad
the Main lunch course we made pan seared lamb filet over mashed rutabaga and
topped with sautéed beets.
for dessert we made Skyr {which is icelandic yogurt but more cheese like} cheesecake
with wild blueberries and thyme that Audur had just picked up in the Western Fjords
a few days beforehand…..and some granola sprinkle on top.
Amen to the Icelandic food gods…….they treated us well.
after the cooking class we checked out of the Kex Hostel {we had actually checked out
earlier but they were storing our bags for us} and walked a few blocks over
to the cutest home of Olaf and Birna.
I found it via Airbnb…..{check it out here}
Because our days were so full…..and we didn't want to pay much for a place to sleep…..
but we still wanted to experience staying with an Icelandic family…..this place fit our search.
On our last morning with Olaf and Birna……they woke up early and made us a traditional
Icelandic breakfast before we headed out. We sat down with Olaf and chatted politics…
eruptions and the extreme rise of tourism happening there right now.
anyhoo……back to day 3…..since it's still long from over.
After we were settled in at Olaf and Birna's home……we relaxed a bit and then got changed up
and ready for the night because we were heading out at 5pm for a midnight hike and bath.
Like clockwork…..right at 5 our guide Wolfie picked us up out front.
Wolfie and his father Andréss own the small family company that run intimate hiking and biking tours….
They offer the small and intimate experience…..don't take more that 8 in a group…
some of the other companies have as many as 30 people in a group.
no thanks
…..and that's exactly what we got……small and intimate.
Wolfie picked us up and guess what…….
once again…..it was just us on the tour.
After he picked us up we headed to their headquarters and they layered us up……
because we didn't have hiking boot {we weren't about to purchase hiking boots just for our trip}
and we were missing some serious warm weather gear……
Wolfie and his dad geared us up so that we looked like extremely warm oompa loompas.
Wolfie drove us to a secret spot and we hiked a few miles down into a valley where there were
hot springs and geothermal water rising from holes in the ground.
Wolfie brought along his camera
{Thank you Wolfie!!!!}
because i had left mine behind……and he took all the photos of us that evening.
we boiled eggs in the hot springs…..for our dinner.
then Wolfie found us a really warm spot in the river and we soaked……
and soaked
then we soaked some more.
{and yes….we had suits on…..it just doesn't look like it;-) }
After soaking for at least an hour…..we were just watching the sky and all of the sudden
the northern lights appeared…..and started dancing for us.
I had been watching the Aurora Borealis forecast {Iceland has an actual forecast so you can
play your week around possibly seeing the lights} and the forecast was looking low each night
but we learned that even with a low reading…..if you are out of the city lights and up in the dark
mountains like we were……the chances were good. Not always….but they were that night.
Happy Night!
We got out of the hot springs and dressed …..hiked back up the mountain and Wolfie
drove us higher into the mountain till we found a perfect viewpoint.
We lounged on the frozen soft moss and watched the light show dance around us……
i might have cried that night
the beauty was unreal.
Iceland………….I love you.
::Day Four::
On day four……we rented a car.
It was the only day where we didn't have a schedule and i really wanted to see and expierence
the Snaefellsnes Peninsula on our own. We rented a car with GPS {a must}…..
and actually found driving around iceland really easy.
It took us about 2.5 hours to get to Snaefellsnes………but along the way we saw wild Icelandic horses
roaming the countryside……i fell in love all over again.
{if you haven't realized it yet…..love is a strong word on the blog today}
The sole purpose of the road trip was to see the oldest church still standing…..in Búdir
and then have lunch at the Hotel Búdir.
There was nothing else around……these two places sit by themselves and it's breathtaking.
Bryan of course…….typical man……
couldn't believe we drove all this way just to see the church and have lunch.
He didn't realize this was all that was on the plan for the day.
Can you believe there was no television in the bar and no football on?
Yup…….neither did he.
What he did enjoy was us finding a mineral spring on someones farm where we
filled up all of our bottles with Happy Water.
100% natural spring water from the ground…….
in the middle of nowhere …….
Happy water.
For me on the other hand……it was so nice to experience another side of Iceland……
we didn't end up making it up to the Icelandic volcano Snæfellsjökull
The mountain is one of the most famous sites of Iceland, primarily due to the novel
Journey to the center of the Earth by Jules Verne.
{which you can see in the photo below….covered in ice and snow}
I was happy enough seeing it from down below….where the scenery was out of this world.
::Day Five::
our last day……..after our lovely breakfast with Olaf and Birna……we returned our rental car to the
station which was conveniently located right next to the Fly Bus in which we were taking to
our day at the Famous Blue Lagoon before our late afternoon flight back home.
Bryan was excited to have made their memories site…..
a little hawaiian shaka from Kauai
14 hours of flying: 10 hour time difference: Five days: Four nights
Kauai to Iceland
Every single day was amazing……the weather is what made our time in Iceland unbelievable
Iceland has a part of our hearts now…….it was truly a trip of a lifetime and maybe one day we
will come back…..there is still so much more to see and experience…..but for now
we have memories to last us forever.
Iceland……..i love you.

KABUL – Former Afghan Finance Minister Ashraf Ghani on Monday launched his bid to become the country's next president, kick-starting the 2014 election race as the first big name to throw his hat into the ring. Ghani, who is also a former World Bank academic, confirmed he would run in the April poll to succeed Hamid Karzai as the NATO-led military coalition withdraws and officials seek a peace deal with Taliban militants.
Ghani finished a distant fourth in the 2009 presidential election, collecting less than 3 percent of the vote. Abdullah Abdullah, the 2009 runner-up, is expected to announce his candidacy this week.

Gold is still up...
Gold is still maintaining its price gains since it came back up yesterday after that the dollar fell; today it reached a high of $884.40 an ounce. This falling dollar played the main role in the incline of gold prices, knowing that investors directly swap from the currency market to gold if profits are not being gained no more knowing that gold since always was and is a safe-asset and becomes a hedge against inflation when the dollar is weakening, exactly as today.
Now, concerning oil, crude prices are still falling; yesterday it was due to the anticipation of Saudi Arabia boosting production which predicted an increase in oil production and today as data was released in the US showing that gasoline demand dropped in the U.S though it's the world largest consumer. The crude contract shed $0.59 a barrel as it reached a high of $133.53 a barrel today from $135.53 a barrel yesterday.
The U.S dollar is still falling as investors are highly expecting that the Federal Reserve will not change interest rates till next week, consequently the euro-dollar pair increased today as the euro advanced against the dollar being traded around $1.55. Therefore investors are still remaining on the gold side till they start noticing a gaining dollar again with high returns.

Social media and traditional press releases from the edge2007-03-21
Posted on March 21, 2007 6:15 pm by Shel Holtz | Edge Content
My presentation at IABC's international conference in June is on "edge" content. While most of you probably are familiar with the notion, it's an alien concept to most people I talk to.
I use several examples when I talk about content on the edge and how it applies to the work of organizational communicators. One example is the classified advertising service EdgeIO. Under the old model, you sent your classified ad to a newspaper because the newspaper's reach exceeded that which you could achieve with a 3x5-inch index card tacked to a community bulletin board in a supermarket.
Along comes the web and the process stays exactly the same. Whether you use eBay or Craig's List, you still send your content for publishing in a central location. EdgeIO changes that model by letting you publish to your venue—your blog. With so many people publishing on their own, the content exists on the edge. By adding an EdgeIO tag to your used car, your vacation rental, or your casting call for that great video podcast you're going to produce, EdgeIO finds your listing and adds it. You don't have to send them anything.
Microformats work the same way. When Neville Hobson, Joseph Jaffe, and I had our geek dinner in New York last June, I created a listing using microformat tags and it appeared automatically in a calendar of upcoming events over at the Technorati Kitchen.
Still, these examples are a bit confounding for the typical communicator. Now there's an example that will be easy to explain. Shannon Whitley, the guy behind PRX Builder (a site that lets you use a wizard to build a social media press release) has introduced FetchWire. I think Shannon pitched me about it; I've had a note to self on my desk for a while reminding me to blog about FetchWire. So I went and took a look this afternoon and thought, "Edge content for press releases."
That's the idea. FetchWire touts its value proposition this way: "Post a news release to your blog. We'll fetch it and display it."
so you have a blog. You want to distribute a press release. Post the release to your blog (presumably a social media press release, of course), adding the appropriate tags. The tags can link to your blog post or your RSS (or Atom) feed. The folks at FetchWire insist that people are subscribing to the service's feed through the use of keywords; they provide a TagBuilder tool to make sure you add the keywords to your post that people are using in their subscriptions.
The Discussion Tracker lets you see who has posted a blog item about the press release you "distributed" through FetchWire. This clearly is an opportunity to get spammed via blogs: Nearly all the tracker items listed under one press release were links to online pharmacies.
Still, the interface is clean, the categories make sense,
I have no idea how many people actually subscribe or whether FetchWire stands a chance of turning the wire service model on its head. But it's a simple example of edge content I can use in my presentation. And, I believe it's further evidence that there's a future in edge content that offers communicators a real advantage.
I sense a "10 list" on the horizon: "10 uses of edge content for communicators." Watch for it.

The Orphans are Madi Rae DiPietro as July, Georgi James as Pepper, Junah Jang as Tessie, Tyrah Skye Odoms as Kate, Taylor Richardson as Duffy, Emily Rosenfeld as Molly and Jaidyn Young as standby for the roles of Annie, Pepper, Duffy and July. The production also features Ashley Blanchet, Jane Blass, Jeremy Davis, Fred Inkley, Merwin Foard, Joel Hatch, Amanda Lea LaVergne, Gavin Lodge, Liz McCartney, Desi Oakley, Keven Quillon, David Rossetti, Sarah Solie, Dennis Stowe and Ryan VanDenBoom.
Anthony Warlow is appearing with the permission of Actors' Equity Association. The Producers gratefully acknowledge Actors' Equity Association for its assistance with this production.
The original production of Annie opened April 21, 1977 at the Alvin Theatre and went on to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, seven Drama Desk Awards including Best Musical, the Grammy for Best Cast Show Album and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book (Thomas Meehan) and Best Score (Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin). The show was one of the biggest Broadway musical hits of the 1970s, running for almost six years and playing 2,377 performances.

Dae'Quan Scott ran for 190 yards and scored the go-ahead touchdown, his second of the night, as James Madison escaped with a 24-20 victory over St. Francis on Saturday night.
James Madison (2-1) turned almost exclusively to its ground attack after two costly first-half interceptions by Michael Birdsong. As Birdsong looked to run more, the offensive line wore down the Red Flash defense to create bigger gains late.
The closely contested game was an uncomfortable scenario for the Dukes after last year's 55-7 blowout over the Red Flash.
St. Francis (0-2) jumped ahead 14-3 in the first half and tied the game at 17 in the fourth quarter. Even after James Madison took the lead, the Red Flash had the ball on the James Madison 36-yard line with 1:04 to go in the game. Ultimately, Capri Thompson failed on four consecutive plays to throw the go-ahead touchdown.
DAYTON 21, ROBERT MORRIS 14: Branden Johnson caught two touchdowns and logged 133 yards receiving as Dayton held off Robert Morris for a 21-14 win on Saturday.
Johnson caught a 41-yard touchdown pass from Will Bardo early in the fourth quarter to break a 7-7 tie before a rushing touchdown from Connor Kacsor helped Dayton build a two-score lead.
Duane Mitchell caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from Paul Jones with less than two minutes remaining to cut the Robert Morris deficit in half, but the ensuing onside kick was recovered by Dayton.
Dayton's defense held Robert Morris in check, limiting the Colonials to 187 total yards. Robert Morris was 3-for-12 on third-down conversions.
The Flyers (2-1) defeated the Colonials (1-2) for the 11th consecutive time. It was the 200th game in Robert Morris program history.

text: I just bought a 96 Dodge 2500 with the V10 4x4 with automatic. The truck had a miss when accelerating the when up to speed it smoothed out and ran great. The exhaust gasket is blown out on the back cylinder on the drivers side. I just havent got around to getting that fixed yet. Anyways I put new Champion Platnium plugs and new wires on it and that took care of the miss and its been running great. I put about 500 miles on it and now its doing the same thing again and making a popping noise sometimes around the engine as its missing. soon as its up to speed and running lower rpms it runs great. So I thought maybe I got a bad spark plug so I went and bought new Double Platnium Champion spark plugs and that did not help. I also found this site and read that # 5 and #7 plug wires should not be crossed. I did check that and they are not crossed and are in the right grooves. Before when it would miss before new plugs I could smell raw gas. Now with the new plugs I dont smell raw gas when its missing. All the plugs that I took out looked as if they were burning clean. None of the warning lights come on in the dash. I dumped in fuel injection cleaner. Nothing seems to help it this time and Im not sure what to do. This is my first Dodge. I love the power because I haul farm tractors on a flat bed. Thats why I bought it. If anyone could please tell me what else to check Id be very thankful.

Manali Overview
You can reach Manali from Dehradun by road in about using a cab upon driving using a cab.
Manali is an extremely popular hill station located in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It has an altitude of 2050 m and is in the Beas River Valley. It is located in the Kullu district and is 270 km away from Shimla. Manali is accessible by road using the National Highway Number 21 that passes through the Kullu town. Manali is, however, difficult to reach using the railways. The nearest railway station is Pathankot which is 325 kms away. The nearest narrow gauge station is at Joginder Nagar which is 135 kms away from Manali. The nearest airport is the Bhuntar Airport which is situated about 50 km south of Manali. The best time to visit Manali is between September and June. Manali is very well connected by road and difficult to reach by air or by rail. Hence, it is a good idea to hire a cab from a nearby city like Chandigarh that will take you to Manali. Savaari cab rental services offer safe rides to Manali. .

Hi there!
I have a 2 year old son whose playful day in and day out resulting to sweating too much and I have noticed that his hair smells terribly bad in the middle of the day. I gave him bath in the morning and I use head-to-toe baby wash on him and I guess it needs to be changed to a shampoo for his hair. Is there a shampoo you would recommend to use that is safe for a 2 year old boy?
Response is appreciated. Thanks!

Sir, I was saddened when I read that most of the Muslim MPs voted for the same sex marriage Bill. While we saw that many Christian MPs, including those in the Government, voted against.
I don't understand why they did this. Did they do it because they are afraid they will not be promoted? But the vote was a free vote. Or was it that there were threatened by their party Whip? Or did they vote because they believed in supporting same sex marriage?
They are out of touch with the Muslim community. They do not represent our views.

Speech for the Launch of the Better Parenting Initiative Leaflets
Center for the Development of Family Medicine
It is pleasure to be here today to launch the second part of the better parenting package. This package covers parents with children ages 3 to 6. As most of you know, the first part of this initiative, covered parents with infants up to age 3. The two sets of material now offer scientific and evidence-based practices for parents until their children enter school.
Parenting can be defined as providing the ongoing care and support a child needs in order to survive and thrive. The quality of this parenting will have a huge impact on whether children make through their first 5 years life and become physically healthy, mentally alert, emotionally secure, socially competent, and able to learn.
From various studies conducted over the years, the overall knowledge of parenting practices in Kosovo is low. There is a lack of basic awareness about the need to stimulate a child's physical and cognitive development from an early age. With only 3% of children with access to any pre-school opportunities (the lowest in the region), parents are the front line of education readiness.
Quality care and protection in these years are essential to avoid death, diseases, stunting, trauma and injuries, malnutrition and developmental delays, while ensuring healthy growth, self-esteem and the ability to learn….central to school readiness and learning, making school-based programmes more effective. These children that receive quality parenting will grow up to become better citizens and contribute more fully in the economic development of Kosovo. In a famous longitudinal study conducted in the
The BPI project started in 2004 with the creation of the Better Parenting Committee which was supported by UNICEF and WHO.
The group designed and published the first BPI package consisting of 11 leaflets in Albanian, Serbian and Roma languages which were distributed in 2005 through the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the National Institute of Public Health as well as International and local NGOs.
During 2005, the BPI working group supported by UNICEF and WHO continued and developed this second set of informational leaflets consisting of 22,000 copies of each of the 13 series in Albanian and Serbian languages. The package is easy to understand for parents with no medical background and covers children with disabilities, exposed to violence and offers advise on psychosocial stimulation and communication for parents.
The distribution of this BPI package will go through institutional channels such as the
I would like to conclude by saying that the UN Kosovo team is now working together in a coordinated way to ensure that Kosovo achieves the Millenium Development Goals. This package is just one way, albeit, an important way, in which Kosovo can achieve universal primary education (MDG 2), reduce child mortality (MDG 4) and in some indirect way contribute to the achievement of the other 6 of the 8 goals.
I would like to thank all of you that tirelessly worked on this project and to the UK National Committee for UNICEF whose funding made this project a reality. I would also like to remind all of us here as we stated during our annual review in December that" A Kosovo Fit for Children is a Kosovo Fit for All".
