How can parents help their kids in overcoming shyness ?
There are some things you can do that may help, such as modeling positive extroverted behaviour and giving them plenty of opportunity to socialise with their peers. However, in the end, I believe some children are simply introverts by nature, in turn demonstrating "shy" characteristics. As an introvert myself, I would encourage you to embrace the positive elements of this personality type and be sure that you are not placing undue pressure on your little one to "fit in" with the more extroverted world.
Hi Mom2many,
I am very much interested in this topic and had always wanted to get an experts advice on this. Thanks for providing such a meaningful insight .
Most of the boys have this shyness problem, in this case the parents need to give them some confidence that's all, you need to prepare their mind for everything they have to face in the life.

March 24, 2011 – Jerusalem – AJC has criticized an Israeli parliamentary committee for interfering in the internal affairs of the organized American Jewish community. The Knesset Absorption and Diaspora Affairs Committee held hearings yesterday on the J Street organization to determine if it is "pro Israel," as its tagline asserts.
"In holding hearings on whether a voluntary American Jewish organization is indeed a pro-Israel lobby, the Knesset committee has interfered in an entirely inappropriate way in the internal affairs of the American Jewish community," Ed Rettig, director of AJC's Jerusalem Office, said in prepared remarks on behalf of the global organization. Although Rettig was scheduled to speak at the hearing, AJC was advised that time was too limited.
"We are a voluntary community in a democratic country and we settle our differences, of which there are many, in the only proper forum -- the arena of open debate within the Jewish community. Israeli parliamentary committees have no proper role in such a discussion," Rettig said.
AJC's disappointment with the hearings is unrelated to whether "we agree or not with J Street in its views or its tactics," said Rettig. "We do this solely because of our understanding of the nature of Israeli and American democracy, and to protect the Israeli – American link that is so crucial to the success of the global Jewish community."
AJC has been a steadfast advocate for Israel's quest for peace and security around the world and was the first American Jewish group, five decades ago, to open an office in Jerusalem.
Shortly after Israel's independence, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and then AJC President Jacob Blaustein signed an historic agreement that established the foundation and understanding of the relationship between the sovereign state of Israel and the American Jewish community. The very holding of the hearings on J Street "violate the Ben Gurion-Blaustein understandings," said Rettig.
AJC's mission is to enhance the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel, and to advance human rights and democratic values in the United States and around the world.

The Cream of the Jest : A Comedy of Evasions (edition 1923)
by James Branch Cabell
Work details
The Cream of the Jest : A Comedy of Evasions by James Branch Cabell
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Cream of the Jest, James Branch Cabell's greatest work, straddles the historical fantasies of his mature "Biography of the Life of Manuel" and the early romantic comedies set in his home state of Virginia, turn of the century.
It might best be thought of as a work of metafiction, and one of the most readable of the genre. It is also one of the few book-length self-described "comedies" that also fits easily within the domain of the "novel." Others of his book-length fictions less closely resemble novels and more closely resemble romances and mythic "anatomies."
Cabell's prose is a wonder, I smiled and even laughed aloud at various turns, and marked worthy aphorisms almost every third page. The tale is ironic and witty, and while on the surface it prompts some good-natured eye-rolling, really it hides a satisfyingly solid account of life and myth. The metaphysics and esotericism are not spelled out, but there nevertheless.
The premise is an author, Felix Kennaston, writes an accomplished fantasy novel and ends up "dreaming" his way to that world, stepping into the role of his protagonist, Horvendile. It is literally dreaming, though: Kennaston does not step through another dimension or find himself bodily in another world. In fact, Kennaston takes pains to afford himself eight hours of sleep each night so as to better visit the other world, and even ends up writing a second novel based on the "stories" he dreams himself into. There is a framing device that complicates this a bit, but in general it affords Cabell an ideal forum for social commentary and metaphysical exploration. Done with whimsy & wit throughout, the plots of the two worlds intertwine until the very end.
Cabell's writing is often categorised as fantasy. It is that, I suppose, but not like Tolkien or his hordes of imitators. There's an ironic distance, and the plot reminds me of a Homer Pyle adventure. There are sprites and goblins, but related the way Shakespeare might, not in a deliberately realist fashion.
Cabell uses leitmotifs in the way of a film score: a melody punctuates certain situations, and often closes a chapter or scene. One is the phrase "the universe would seem to fold about him, just as a hand closes", used whenever Horvendile exits a dream. Another refers to Ettarre's "innumerable evasions", and Kennaston says "we touch mystery everywhere" at least twice, though both occur near the end of the book.
The title is a pun, and also another leitmotif: the phrase deliberately surfaces throughout the book, usually by the protagonist. The pun comes in at the end, when Kennaston's inspiration for the Sigil of Scoteia is revealed.
Though this is part of the Biography of Manuel series, it was the first I've read, and the series is not one of serialised adventure so much as a thematic meditation on myth. Definitely, I will read others.
One of my favorite books.

Hearse 'n' Verse
Imagine it's a rainy January night at a coffee shop in Hollywood. You're at a poetry open-mic night, expecting old women to read cat poetry, when suddenly Sylvia Plath walks to the stage lost in thoughts of "fetid wombs" and "indefatigable hoof-taps" to read from Ariel. Or imagine you just hopped on a boxcar, somewhere in Colorado, only to find Jack Kerouac reading from Mexico City Blues over the sound of clacking train tracks. While it's impossible to have interactions with these poetry iconoclasts, you will have an opportunity to hear a real poetry legend and MacArthur Genius when PEN Center USA brings Anne Carson to the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. Carson will be reading from her 16th book, Nox, a collection of poems harmonizing with notebook entries she wrote after her brother's death in 2000. The book itself gray and cold suggests a tombstone. And according to The New Yorker, "The entries read like litanies words you might utter as a stay against panic or darkness." Not only will you have the opportunity to hear Carson's lyrical and analytical poems on loss and memory but she'll be introduced by Gabrielle Calvocoressi, a Stegner Fellow and Los Angeles poet who is carrying the torch and our city into the literary future. Masonic Lodge, Forever Hollywood Cemetery, 6000 Santa Monica Blvd., Hlywd.; Sat., Jan. 21, 9 p.m.; $15. (323) 469-1181, hollywoodforever.com.

8th July 2014
When you see him leading nine of them on a constitutional along the top of the Downs, it's hard to believe that assistant curator Lee Sambrook hasn't always been an elephant enthusiast. But his career as a keeper began with some considerably fiercer creatures. After leaving school at 16, he landed a job at his local zoo, and within two weeks was working with a lion. His desire to build his knowledge of big cats led him to move from zoo to zoo, grabbing as much as possible in the way of hands-on experience, until he ended up at ZSL London Zoo.
He was unimpressed when, several months in, he was told he needed to leave cats behind. 'I was being moved to work with the Asian elephants, whether I liked it or not,' Lee recalls. 'It wasn't really for me.'
At that time, ZSL had one elephant, and the transition of working with a mellow Nellie rather than ferocious felines wasn't one Lee found easy. But after the Zoo acquired three more elephants, and a twist of fate made him second in charge at just 24 years old, his feelings began to change.
'I saw that you could nurture a relationship with the elephants, and that really struck me. The fact that you're always sharing the same space with an animal, rather than just looking after one through a barrier, was the biggest difference to working with the big cats.'
It was also the biggest challenge. 'Stepping in with something means you have to be aware of lots of different things going on around you,' says Lee. 'The bond is very important between you because of the potential risk.'
Since the herd moved to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo from ZSL London Zoo in 2001, it has grown considerably. There are now three 32-year-old cows; baby Max, born at Whipsnade last October; and teens, toddlers and lone bull Emmett in between – and the challenges facing the ZSL team have increased accordingly. It's fortunate Lee has the support of seven other keepers. From vast amounts of cleaning (the elephants' barn takes two hours a day to muck out) to baths and enrichment, there's a lot to do.
Personality Traits
Training isn't just for the young calves – it forms an important part of each elephant's routine. Lee and his team dedicate time each day to teaching them new behaviours, such as lifting their trunks or opening their mouths for dental check-ups. It's not just a practical necessity, but a way of keeping the animals stimulated – and helps the keepers foster bonds with the elephants and get to know each as an individual. 'You learn their personalities and what makes them tick,' says Lee, 'as well as their learning capacity and quickness of thinking. After working with quite a few, you know how long it should take to train each one. As with people, you have some that are very clever and some that are perhaps not quite as bright.'
Regular visitors to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo will know that one of the ways the keepers boost enrichment is with a daily walk around the Zoo. Once they've had a bath and the barn has been cleaned, the keepers round up the elephants – usually in groups of up to five, although sometimes as many as nine go together – for a lap of the grounds. 'Nine elephants is probably the most walked at one time in any zoo in Europe,' says Lee, 'which is quite something.' Admitting he may be biased, he suggests the walks are one reason the elephants 'are perhaps the most popular animals at Whipsnade. I don't think there are many zoos that walk their elephants with the public.'
The walk culminates with a spectacular view, and the elephants stop to graze on the side of the Downs. 'It's one of the most positive things we can do for them,' says Lee. 'Getting them out and giving them access to different areas of the Zoo is really, really good for them. I think they're one of the smartest animals in the world. They're really very curious and quite challenging – they're constantly testing boundaries and seeing what they can get up to.'
It's the moments of one-on-one interaction that Lee enjoys most. 'You can get into the habit, particularly with the restriction of time that we have, of everything being purely business, whereas I like quality time with the elephants. I might have a moment where I think, "Let's have a kick around – or play with the babies".'
But which of the herd is the apple of Lee's eye? Does he have a favourite? Like a diplomatic dad, he says not. 'I like them all equally – even though some are more of a pain than others!'
However, he adds: 'I do like the bull, Emmett, a lot. I think he's a great animal. I have a good relationship with him and just like the way he is.' He also has a long association with Azizah, who came to ZSL London Zoo when she was about one. She's now 30, but Lee can remember bottle-feeding her for the first few months.
Rich in experience
With 30 (or is it 31? Ironically for an elephant keeper, he can't remember) years of pachyderm proficiency under his belt, it's no wonder Lee's expertise is in demand. As well as helping out on research projects, he spends a significant amount of time passing his knowledge on to others. He's lectured in Thailand on a collaborative course with the Royal Veterinary College and holds elephant schools at Whipsnade, teaching keepers from around the UK. He has also become the go-to guy for zoos around the world, whenever they face challenges with their elephants.
'It's nice, having worked with elephants for so long, to be able to say, "I've been through that, this is how you deal with it",' Lee says. 'We really try and push the sharing of information because the elephants, wherever they are, will benefit.'
Call him an expert at your peril, though. 'I'm not a lover of that term because there's always something that comes up where I think, "Jeez, how do you deal with that?" Plus there are people out there who have worked with elephants for nearly 50 years. They're the guys I turn to.'
The biggest 'jeez' moments Lee has faced have been during births. 'It's quite a challenge to get a live calf out of an elephant,' he says. 'It should be the most natural thing in the world – but it is quite difficult.' There have now been eight calves born at Whipsnade, and Lee's welcomed almost all of them into the world. 'I think I missed two by just five minutes because I was catching up on some sleep after waiting up all of the previous night,' he recalls. 'But it's nice to be part of the team that reared ZSL's first calf.'
Lee's move to the elephants may not have been something he volunteered for, but he's now incredibly grateful to have had that push. 'It's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. It's given me so many opportunities, and the skills I've gained are immeasurable.'
Is it an easy job? No – but it's certainly rewarding. 'Unless you're really passionate about it and want to learn as much as you can,' says Lee, 'you will never be that good at it. You can't do half a job with elephants, you have to throw everything into it.'
Fortunately, no one could accuse him of doing anything less.

You're right it is a rip off, but since they don't make them anymore in that shade of color (Shale or Tan) for the Escalade, they're trying to make money by jacking up the price.
I also bought mine from Crutchfield 6 months ago before they ran out for $49.99 and just installed it today, took about 1 1/2 all together and it looks tight! Here's a pic:


text: I noticed this too, after I started wearing my hair curly on a regular basis. My hair started to clog the drain, which it never did when I straightened daily. I freaked out too, thinking I was losing more hair, but it doesn't appear to be thinning and I think it's because I'm not touching it or brushing/combing during the day like I used to. So I think you are fine.

See this buying-a-house-in-the-hood process is taking a really long time. Much longer than I had planned. I even had all my winter sweaters in a box, which is now somewhere in the back/bottom of a stuff-to-the-brim-storage room in my parents basement. Which means I've been wearing the same fleece (Adam's) nearly every day that it's been chilly lately. If only we didn't need every last penny of our money for the down payment on our house, I'd just buy some new winter clothes. Eating and shopping, those are my healthy ways for dealing with disappointment.
I found out today that we had to push the closing date back by another 2 weeks - making it dangerously close to Christmas. Keep in mind, too, that this is just the closing date -- then we still have to make it livable. Remember, there's no windows and there was a crack addict arrested in there a week ago with a prostitute (aka we need to seriously rip out that flooring - ick). Basically, I cannot understand why God would lead us here and then allow the entire process to be so riddled with stalling and mistakes and waiting and UGH! Anyways, I know in my head that I can trust His perfect timing, but it's hard to live that out when I'm tired of living in my parents' basement. When I feel like we're letting so many people down. I know my parents' probably want their clean and quiet house back (because if you haven't guessed, we are neither clean nor quiet). And my sister is moving back home, so I'm sure she's not thrilled that she will rudely awakened at about 5am by a loud tantrum-throwing toddler. Not to mention the two friends who will be living with us downtown but are stuck waiting because of all the MESS going along with this stupid loan. Seriously, we have the money and want to buy a house in a bad neighborhood to try and make it better. You'd think they would WANT to make this happen.
Ok rant/vent over. I apologize for that. Please don't stop following my blog. I will be back to my usual self in mid-December once we finally close on the house. Oh I kid, surely my attitude will turn around before then. Let's hope.
I think that sometimes God allows stuff like this to happen simply because He wants me to turn to Him not just when I'm sad, or when I'm joyful, or when I need something -- but even when my heart is ugly. And I need His holy presence to calm and re-focus me. Because it always happens at times when my best friend moved to Texas, another friend lost her phone, and another is in Chicago . . . so I realize that the only place I feel like I have to turn is the one place I should have turned in the first place -- to HIM.
Now that I'm done venting, here's my I Heart Faces entry this week. Because I am nothing if not good at transitions. Ha. Plus, how can I NOT be cheered up looking at this sweet little thing? She cracks me up. And even when she drives me crazy, I am eternally grateful that she is my daughter!

INDIANA COUNTY LEAGUE: West Lebanon rolls in playoff opener
WEST LEBANON — West Lebanon erased an early two-run deficit, racked up 13 hits and scored a season-high in runs to topple Apollo, 18-5, in the opening game of the quarterfinal round of the Indiana County League baseball playoffs Wednesday at Bertolino Field.
Fourth-seeded West Lebanon (9-14-1) travels to fifth-seeded Apollo for the second game of the best-of-three series today.
"In a short series you never want to go down 1-0," West Lebanon player-manager Josh Mottorn said. "We started out slow and gave up some early runs, but we came back and the offense showed up for a change."
Anthony Piccolini paced West Lebanon by going 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBIs.
Mike Percic went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, Mitch Yard singled twice and scored three runs, and Mottorn doubled and drove in two runs.
Garrett Mack fanned four, walked five and served up nine hits in a complete-game win. Mack also went 2-for-2 with three runs scored and two RBIs.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a mental illness in which a person feels physically inadequate and continually wants to improve body muscle
'London: Experts have warned that many men who are unhappy with their bodies are resorting to unsafe dietary and exercise habits and risking suffering from bigorexia disorder.'Zee News 18th November 2013
'Muscle-bound bigorexics hanker to be even bigger … Suresh has the kind of superbly sculpted physique that most men would happily kill for. But the body-builder himself is dissatisfied as he punishes himself hour after hour in the gym …'Times of India 9th September 2001
It's an all too familiar concept in the 21st century – the glossy media images of beautiful svelte females which engender both envy and aspiration in the woman on the street, sometimes with rather serious consequences for the health of young, impressionable females. However, preoccupation with the body beautiful can be just as damaging for men as it sometimes is for women. In a condition dubbed bigorexia, the typically male ideal of a toned muscular body becomes a dangerous obsession.
since anorexia sufferers are usually female, bigorexia is sometimes thought of as the male equivalent of the condition
The word bigorexia is a colloquial take on the term muscle dysmorphia, which describes a mental disorder in which a person becomes obsessed with the idea that they are not sufficiently muscular. Sufferers of bigorexia usually have far more muscle than average, but mistakenly perceive themselves as skinny or too small. They adopt a strict diet and would be terrified at the prospect of missing a session at the gym, sometimes even continuing their exercise regime when injured. Bigorexia is largely confined to men and often associated with bodybuilders. It is sometimes described as the reverse of anorexia, a condition in which someone stops eating because of the delusional idea that they are overweight. Since anorexia sufferers are usually female, bigorexia is sometimes thought of as the male equivalent of the condition.
Research suggests that bigorexia has been on the rise over the last thirty years, with the estimated number of men affected now triple the amount it was back in the 1970s and 1980s. Analogous to the situation with female role-models, the increase in cases is often attributed to the influence of popular media and the images of hyper-developed, muscular action heroes on film and TV.
The word bigorexia has been around since the late 1990s, emerging when the condition of muscle dysmorphia was formally recognized by the medical profession in 1997. Another informal equivalent is the expression Adonis complex, from the use of Adonis as a term for an extremely handsome young man, which is based on the beautiful youth of the same name in Greek mythology.
Bigorexia of course takes inspiration from the term anorexia, mirroring its derivational pattern with bigorexic (c.f. anorexic), which can be used as both a countable noun and adjective to describe sufferers of the disorder. The combining form -orexia is based on the Greek word orexis meaning 'appetite'. Strictly speaking, therefore, it could be argued that its use in bigorexia is inappropriate because the word literally means 'big appetite'. In popular culture, however, productive use of the suffix -orexia has led to its independent interpretation as a description of 'a mental disorder', hence bigorexia is the mental disorder of wanting to be 'big' (= well-developed). Other similar examples of the suffix's creative use in recent years include orthorexia (an obsession with eating healthy foods), drunkorexia (restricting food intake so that alcohol can be consumed without gaining weight), tanorexia (an obsession with getting and maintaining tanned skin) and bleachorexia (an obsession with dental hygiene and having teeth whitened).

Congress Admits: Yes, We Were Recklessby
Without muss or fuss, Congress just voted overwhelmingly to keep the federal spigot open for six more months. There were no shouting matches, no threats of a government shutdown, no hostage-takings. Even some Tea Party lawmakers approved the $1.047 trillion measure.
Contrast the smooth legislative action with the lunacy of last year's debt-ceiling debate, when the U.S. came within days of defaulting on its IOUs. Standard & Poor's downgraded the government's credit rating. The recovery went into reverse as consumers delayed purchases and businesses hunkered down.
Much as we dislike recalling that madness, it's worth looking back if only because it now seems so manufactured -- or worse, economically reckless. If last summer's fight was necessary to save the country from fiscal wrack and ruin, why is this fall's continuing resolution, as the measure is called, not a threat to Western civilization? It even adds another $8 billion to the deficit and exceeds the House Republicans' budget blueprint by $19 billion.
We understand that many lawmakers, in trouble back home and anxious to return to their campaigns, are concerned that a government shutdown would invite an anti-incumbency rout. We also accept that Republicans may be timing their next fiscal showdown for after the election, in case voters turn out President Barack Obama and turn over Senate control to their party. But those are political, not economic, calculations.
Principled Response
A year ago, Republicans cast the debt-ceiling fight as a principled economic response to unsustainable borrowing and the only way to avoid a Greek-like comeuppance at the hands of the bond market. In offering his budget in March, Representative Paul Ryan, now the party's vice-presidential nominee, said government debt "continues to rise at a frightening pace, raising fears that a similar crisis may happen here."
So can we assume that Republicans have now fixed the country's debt problem? Not at all. In many ways, they did the opposite.
The debt-ceiling drama barely moved the long-term debt trajectory. Instead, it left the country standing at the edge of a fiscal cliff, at the bottom of which lies another recession. It also raised doubts about whether Congress and the White House can govern, and led the rest of the world to question the sanity of the U.S.
As Bloomberg View columnists Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers wrote in May, all the economic data "tell us that a debt-ceiling standoff is an act of economic sabotage." In July, the Government Accountability Office even concluded that last year's delays in raising the ceiling increased Treasury's borrowing costs by $1.3 billion.
The debt-limit fight may also prove to be a Republican own-goal. The outcome of last summer's debate was an agreement to make deep cuts in defense spending as of January. And with the Bush tax cuts expiring at the same time, the combination is powerful leverage in the Democrats' favor, leaving Republicans in a shaky negotiating stance.
When a trillion-dollar spending bill flies through Congress, it raises a simple question: Why now and not then? It's a question voters would do well to ask in the months ahead.

8,000 RE/MAX Agents Celebrate 40 Years
Chief Executive Officer,
Margaret Kelly
Shaun White
Vice President, Public Relations
E: [email protected]
Las Vegas, NV – Nearly 8,000 RE/MAX agents from 58 countries are attending the annual R4 Convention this week to celebrate the global real estate franchisor's 40th anniversary. At Monday evening's Opening General Session held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena (video highlights), they heard co-founders Dave and Gail Liniger reminisce about the last 40 years and offer motivation for the future as the U.S. housing industry is in the midst of a recovery from the worst downturn in recent history.
From its earliest days in the 1970s, RE/MAX success has been based on a reputation for attracting the industry's top performers with a business model that provides high commissions and valuable resources and training.
The R4 kick-off event will long be remembered for the emotional presentation by Dave Liniger, who was hospitalized for several months in 2012 with a severe MRSA bacterial infection. As he came on stage in a motorized wheel chair, he was greeted with a standing ovation and spontaneous cheers of "Dave, Dave, Dave." After sharing the inspirational story of his challenging illness and physical rehabilitation, he then shocked the audience by standing up and walking across the stage, saying his goal had been to just walk 10 steps.
"I hope my story provides motivation to anyone facing a seemingly insurmountable problem," said Liniger. "If you set achievable goals and stay focused, you can do anything, but never, never, ever give up!"
Liniger closed his presentation by recognizing the achievements of the RE/MAX Affiliates in 2012 and challenging them to reach for even greater goals in 2013. "Congratulations on succeeding in the most difficult housing market we've ever seen, but this is no time to slow down, it's full speed ahead to help your customers achieve their dreams."
Also speaking to the energized audience was Co-Founder and Vice Chair Gail Liniger and RE/MAX CEO Margaret Kelly who provided a nostalgic look back and an encouraging look forward.
"In 2012, you were the most productive sales force in real estate with over 1.3 million transaction sides worldwide and an 18% increase in U.S. sales volume, proving once again that nobody sells more real estate than RE/MAX," said Kelly.
Significant 2012 company successes celebrated at the RE/MAX R4 Opening General Session included:
• Worldwide, RE/MAX agents sold real estate valued at nearly $300 billion, and since 1997, when RE/MAX agents were involved with more than 1 million transactions sides, no competitor has sold more.
• In the U.S., RE/MAX agents improved their productivity to an average of 16.3 transaction sides, more than any national franchise's agents.
• Dave Liniger being named by Inman News as the "People's Choice" Most Influential Real Estate Leader, with a record number of votes.
• RE/MAX was awarded the #1 spot among real estate franchises in the two leading industry surveys: Entrepreneur magazine's Franchise 500 and the Franchise Times Top 200.
• RE/MAX agents continued to be the most productive in two national brokerage reports. Both the 2012 REAL Trends 500 and the RIS Media Power Broker reports showed RE/MAX agents the clear leaders with respect to agent productivity among the national franchise companies.
• RE/MAX launched the new remax.com, becoming the first real estate franchisor to provide consumers with a personal, consistent web experience across desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
• The 24/7, on-demand RE/MAX University launched a revolutionary learning platform that promises to set the standard for the real estate industry. The full-fledged, interactive learning experience offers HD quality video and allows associates to create their own curriculum.
It was also announced that Dave Liniger's new book, "My Next Step: An Extraordinary Journey of Healing and Hope," is now available for preorder on the website www.mynextstepbook.com. All proceeds are being donated to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®, Komen for the Cure®, and the United States Olympic Committee's Paralympic Military and Veteran Program.
The R4 Opening General Session closed on a very high note with Natalie Cole joining RE/MAX Co-Founders Dave and Gail Liniger on stage and honoring them with a special song, "Unforgettable." She was accompanied by her father, the late Nat King Cole, in a special timeless, high-tech-duet via video.

It also means that we play a proper old fashioned two striker system, which is lovely to see when it works as well as it did yesterday.

I have been buying this product for approximately 4 years. I first purchased it because I had an ache in my forearm like I use to get when I pitched softball. My doctor recommended 2 aleve per day for 6 weeks and if that did not take care of it he would give me a cortesone shot. Well the aleve did not work so I went to the health food store and picked up the Turmeric. I took 3 tablets a day for 5 days and the pain was gone. I now take one a day for good health and if I have a flair up, sore wrist, ankle whatever, I take 3 a day for 5 days. It helps with any type of inflammation. I won't be without it. IHerbs prices are the best and I have not tried any other brands since this one worked.

The tiny Windward Islands are composed of the islands of St Lucia, Dominca and St Vincent and the Grenadines. There are approximately 4000 banana producers in the Windward Islands today - the majority in St Lucia - with a total of 3,702 hectares of land under cultivation; the average farm is a little under a hectare. Approximately 45% of these small producers are women.
More than 20,000 of 25,000 farmers have gone out of business since 1992. Low retail prices for bananas coupled with ever lowering import tariff levels for non-ACP bananas entering the EU* have spelt disaster for small scale banana producers in the Windwards. Producers have also been hit by regular natural disasters including hurricanes and droughts which have temporarily wiped out production and halted exports.
These issues have had a significant negative social and economic impact on families, communities and the overall economies of the islands, including an increase in unemployment (over 30% in most islands) and related social problems.
Of the remaining farmers, most are now Fairtrade certified and this has transformed the lives and businesses of these small banana farmers. Fairtrade guarantees a minimum price that covers the real costs of production, high environmental standards that reduce pesticide use as well as a social premium invested by farmer groups in their local communities. The Fairtrade premium has funded schools, health facilities, roads, pipe borne water, equipment for disadvantaged groups and provided disaster relief.
Some 80% of all bananas produced in the Windwards are sold in the UK and these farmers depend upon access to the British market to sell their Fairtrade fruit and so Banana Link's Support Caribbean Bananas campaign is asking supermarkets to make long-term commitments to sourcing bananas from the Windward Islands.
We work closely with The Windward Islands Farmers' Association (WINFA), a non governmental organization that represents, protects, and promotes the interests of small farmers in St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Grenada, Dominica and Martinique. Banana Link are also Charity Stakeholders of the Fairtrade Foundation.
Support Caribbean Bananas Campaign
Caribbean bananas are grown on small family owned farms using more sustainable methods of production than those used on the huge monoculture plantations in Latin America. The livelihoods of these small producers are highly dependant on continued trade with the UK.
Caribbean farmers simply cannot compete with the 'cheap' Latin American bananas produced with low paid labour. If the banana trade in the Windward Islands is allowed to die, along with it will go the efforts of family farmers over the last few years to secure their livelihoods through fair trade.
The FAIRTRADE Mark carried by almost all bananas from the Windwards guarantees they have been traded at a price which ensures the grower can make a decent living, pay their workers properly and make a contribution to their local community. It is thanks to the support of British consumers that small farmers in the Caribbean have been able to build this major fair trade initiative from nothing in the last decade.
* Bananas from the Windward Islands (as part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific states that many European countries had a colonial relationship with) traditionally had preferential access into the European Union (EU). This meant that they did not have to pay the tariff - a tax - on bananas sold to the UK that was charged on the bananas exported from Latin America. However, following a bitter trade dispute in the World Trade Organisation (which sets rules for how member countries trade with each other) the regime governing how bananas are imported into the EU has changed. It is now even harder for the Caribbean farmers to compete in the international market.
Take action
Contact Banana Link to order Support Caribbean Banana postcards to share with family and friends or to hand out at events. These can be addressed to the manager of your local supermarket asking that they ensure that they source Fairtrade bananas grown by small scale family farmers in the Windward Islands.

For decades, Yale University Professors Marie Borroff and Louis Dupre have made students as interested in the subjects they teach as they are. For that quality and others, both were honored with this year's William Clyde DeVane Medals -- the highest award for teaching in Yale College -- presented by the Yale chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
The awards were given to Professors Borroff and Dupre at a Phi Beta Kappa dinner on March 4. Each year, graduate members of the chapter elect a retired professor, and undergraduate members name an active member of the faculty for the honor. Fred C. Robinson, the Douglas Tracy Smith Professor of English, presented the award to Professor Borroff, Sterling Professor Emeritus of English. Mr. Dupre, the T. Lawrason Riggs Professor of Religious Studies, was given his award by Vishal Agrawal '96, chapter undergraduate president. Frank M. Turner, John Hay Whitney Professor of History and graduate president of Yale's chapter, was master of ceremonies.
Professor Borroff, who came to Yale in 1960 and was the first woman named a professor of English in 1965, taught English literature and poetry ranging from pre-medieval to modern times. She has authored many articles and books, including translations of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "Pearl," and a study of the poets Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens and Marianne Moore. In addition, she edited a collection of critical essays on Wallace Stevens and is a published poet. During her 34 years at Yale, she held numerous administrative posts and committee memberships and was counselor to the Yale Presidential Search Committee 1992-93. She is a former president of the Yale chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
In presenting Ms. Borroff with her Medal, Mr. Robinson noted her many accomplishments as a scholar, a teacher, a poet -- and a pianist. "The performer and the producer, the teacher and the scholar, co-exist in her in happy harmony," said Mr. Robinson. He went on to describe a recent talkon Chaucer that Ms. Borroff presented: "She gave us a spell-binding, original, deeply learned, beautifully organized chat. That's what it was: the most casually delivered, seemingly off-the-top-of-her-head, spontaneous chat which somehow fell together as tightly and logically and beautifully as one of her exquisite poems. The insights and discoveries seemed to be taking place as she talked. She performs scholarship and learning as gracefully as she performs a composition by Mozart."
Professor Dupre, a native of Belgium, is considered one of today's preeminent Catholic philosophers of religion. He joined the Yale faculty in 1973. He has authored or edited more than a dozen books, including "Contraception and Catholics," "The Philosophical Foundations of Marxism," "The Other Dimension," "Transcendent Selfhood" and "Metaphysics and Culture." He has served as president of the American Catholic Philosophical Association and the Hegel Society of America.
Quoting from Professor Dupre's former and current students, Mr. Agrawal noted the philosopher's sensitivity to his students, his high standards, his approachability and his dedication to teaching:
"Professor Dupre approaches teaching with the same fervor that has fired his own education and scholarship," said Mr. Agrawal. "When asked to reflect upon his almost 40 years of teaching, he replies that it is 'amazing to be paid for doing what I like to do.' And in doing what he likes, excitement emanates from the podium. Students have called him a 'mesmerizing teacher' who 'speaks from the heart.' He is uniformly praised for his ability to impart his passion for the subject matter."
At the ceremony, the featured speaker was Guido Calabresi, former dean of the Yale Law School and now judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit. John Hollander, Sterling Professor of English, read "X's Syndrome," a poem he wrote for the occasion which will be published later this year in what is expected to be a series of original poems commissioned by the Yale chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
The William Clyde DeVane Medals have been conferred annually by the Yale Phi Beta Kappa chapter since 1966 for distinguished scholarship and undergraduate teaching. The medal is named for a former dean of Yale College who served in that post from 1938-63, was a longtime president of the Yale chapter, and a president of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa.

The effect of lumbar support on the trunk muscle activity and pelvic tilt in a passenger vehicle car seat
Daniell, N., Paul, G., & Al-Dirini, R.M.A. (2010) The effect of lumbar support on the trunk muscle activity and pelvic tilt in a passenger vehicle car seat. In The 6th World Congress on Biomechanics (WCB), August 1-6, 2010, Singapore. (Unpublished)
(PDF 806kB)
In order to gain a competitive edge in the market, automotive manufacturers and automotive seat suppliers have identified seat ergonomics for further development to improve overall vehicle comfort. Adjustable lumbar support devices have been offered since long as comfort systems in either a 2-way or 4-way adjustable configuration, although their effect on lumbar strain is not well documented. The effect of a lumbar support on posture and muscular strain, and therefore the relationship between discomfort and comfort device parameter settings, requires clarification.
The aim of this paper is to study the effect of a 4-way lumbar support on lower trunk and pelvis muscle activity, pelvic tilt and spine curvature during a car seating activity. 10 healthy subjects (5 m/f; age 19-39) performed a seating activity in a passenger vehicle with seven different static lumbar support positions. The lumbar support was tested in 3 different height positions in relation to the seatback surface centreline (high, centre, low), each having 2 depths positions (lumbar prominence). An extra depth position was added for the centre position.
Posture data were collected using a VICON MX motion capture system and NORAXON DTS goniometers and inclinometer. A rigid-body model of an adjustable car seat with four-way adjustable lumbar support was constructed in UGS Siemens NX and connected to a musculoskeletal model of a seated-human, modelled in AnyBody. Wireless electromyography (EMG) was used to calibrate the musculoskeletal model and assess the relationship between (a) muscular strain and lumbar prominence (normal to seatback surface) respective to the lumbar height (alongside seatback surface), (b) hip joint moment and lumbar prominence (normal to seatback surface) respective to lumbar height (alongside seatback surface) and (c) pelvic tilt and lumbar prominence (normal to seatback surface) respective to the lumbar height (alongside seatback surface).
This study was based on the assumption that the musculoskeletal human model was seated at the correct R-Point (SgRP), determined via the occupant packaging toolkit in the JACK digital human model.
The effect of the interaction between the driver/car-seat has been investigated for factors resulting from the presence and adjustment of a 4-way lumbar support. The results obtained show that various seat adjustments, and driver's lumbar supports can have complex influence on the muscle activation, joint forces and moments, all of which can affect the comfort perception of the driver. This study enables the automotive industry to optimise passenger vehicle seat development and design. It further more supports the evaluation of static postural and dynamic seat comfort in normal everyday driving tasks and can be applied for future car design to reduce investment and improve comfort.

... you most probably want Sequence, which will create something that

arglist = {{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}, {g, h, i}}
argseq = Sequence@@arglist;
of course you can also directly "Apply" (@@ is the shortcut for "Apply")

Thanks for the advice.
Hadn't considered moving the engine back in the frame - that's a lot easier than leaving the engine where it is and extending the frame out.
Is there a real benefit to large diameter tires? I know I'd get a better contact patch, all other things equal, but it also seems (again, all other things equal) that I'd loose a lot of torque. Although it looks like, if you want wider tires (which I think would help a lot), then you have to go with larger diameter tires.
Of course, the extra clearance is likely a plus too with the larger tires.
I don't have a bunch of experience with this kind of terrain. The area doesn't drain all that badly, but the soil is mostly clay and gets slick in spots. Although I've cleared a lot of trees, it's still pretty shaded and doesn't dry out quickly either. I guess I'm looking for traction without sinking in or sliding off. Would be a bonus if we could visit the property during the winter.
I tried to take our Sierra uphill (going forwards). Once I lost traction up front, the nose started to drift sideways. I'm guessing this is because the engine is above the axle and up in front and it basically wanted to swing itself around so the heavy end was pointed down. I think getting the engine lower and behind the wheels would mitigate this, at least to a degree - might even help transfer the weight to the back wheels to help traction back there, which is awful on the Sierra. Considered trying to go up backwards, but after we kissed the tree and dented the truck (while pulling it off the side of the driveway with the tractor), my wife decided she really didn't want to go anywhere that badly that night.

NTLite: Ultimate Tool to Tweak and Customize Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 Installation
UPDATE: The first beta version of popular nLite tool for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 has been released. It has been labeled as NTLite and available for download to public.
Do you remember the good old days of Windows XP when you used to customize Windows XP setup ISO using nLite? nLite is one of the best and most popular Windows installation customization software which allows you to remove unwanted components from Windows setup, integrate device drivers, hotfixes and service packs in Windows setup and create unattended and bootable setup ISO of Windows OS so that you don't need to enter anything while installing Windows in computers.
With the help of nLite, users were able to decrease the size of setup ISO of Windows by deleting unnecessary Windows features and drivers which indirectly used to make installed Windows faster as less services were running in background.
But nLite was only available for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. The developer also released a separate version of this software called "vLite" to customize Windows Vista setup ISO.
Interested readers can read more about nLite and vLite at following links:
- nLite: Freeware to Create Unattended Setup ISO of Windows XP
- vLite: Freeware to Create Unattended Setup ISO of Windows Vista
Unfortunately the developer stopped developing nLite and it was never updated to include support for Windows 7 and later versions of Windows OS. In the meantime a few other freeware such as 7Customizer were released by some people to customize Windows 7 setup ISO which provided similar features as nLite.
Now its time to share some good news! "nuhi", the developer of nLite and vLite, has started working on a special version of nLite again. He is developing a new tool NTLite which supports Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
With the help of this new tool, users can customize Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 setup ISO to remove unwanted components, slipstream service packs, updates and drivers, include Registry tweaks, create unattended and bootable ISO and much more.
Features list:
- Live install modification feature to customize already running Windows setup
- Unwanted Windows components removal
- Enable/disable default Windows features (the same as "Turn Windows features on or off")
- Hardware targeting to find missing drivers for your computer
- Drivers, updates, hotfixes and language packs integration
- Windows tweaks integration
- Automated deployment to create unattended installation disc
- Pending changes overview to review your changes before creating setup disc
You can download NTLite using following link:
Download NTLite for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1
Both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows editions are supported.
NTLite is available in 2 versions: Basic and Professional. Basic version is free to download and use but Professional version is not free. You can purchase Professional version for $45 which comes with some extra features such as live install modifications, full component removal, automatic filling of host machine data, etc.

On a molecular level, you have more in common with shower curtain mold or the mushrooms on your pizza than you might think. Humans and fungi share similar proteins, a biological bond that makes curing fungal infections difficult and expensive. Current costs to treat these stubborn infections can top $50,000 per patient, and no new classes of antifungal drugs that treat systemic infections have been introduced for at least 20 years.
Now, researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center have discovered a new compound that could be developed as an antifungal drug to treat histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis, two types of fungal infections that are naturally drug-resistant.
Generally, people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop life-threatening fungal infections. However, the airborne fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, which causes histoplasmosis, can infect healthy people as well.

One example is Valve's Left 4 Dead, where the game adjusts the ammount of ammo you find based upon how much ammo you hoard or waste, because the developers intend for they player to almost run out of ammo. If the developers of Dark Souls intend a certain level of difficulty, they need to control it dynamically, which players tend to dislike.
Nice of you to admit that you haven't read my posts. I find it rather impolite not to read the posts of others before replying, though.
Please quote where I don't make sense, and I'll try to explain my position further. I'm not all that interested in convincing people either, but I would at least like to make sense.
That's exactly why the "one size fits all" approach doesn't work. How "high" is a high level of demand? How do you measure it? And how do you control it?
Exactly. And my point is that the individual player is in a much better position to judge the game's difficulty and adjust it to their own ability or taste, than the developer is.
Since the placement of traps and enemies is static in Dark Souls, everybody knows exactly what to expect after a few deaths. Player capacity to predict danger is unlimited and equal. But player capacity to overcome the known obstacles will vary a great deal.
Much of the appeal of Dark Souls has to do with mystery and discovery. But players can read all about every secret before even playing the game, thanks to online wikis and forums. To me that destroys the game much more, but it's impossible to control.
Of course artists have the right to create whatever art they want, but trying to control how their art is experienced and appreciated is futile. And because this is a business oriented industry, it's also stupid.

Sunny Sweeney's Marriage Built on Mutual Support
Sunny Sweeney is loving being a 'Mrs.' Back in November, the singer-songwriter tied the knot with longtime beau Jeff Hellmer during an intimate ceremony with friends and family at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas. She sat down with The Boot recently to discuss how she and her Austin, Texas police Sergeant husband are balancing their careers and married life.
"He has no connection to the music business, except for that he's my fan," she reveals. "People are always like, 'So what does he do?' And, I'm like, 'He's a police officer.' They're like, 'Totally far removed from the music business!' And I respond, 'Yes — intentionally! I would not date somebody in the music business.'"
It seems having a job that keeps you away from home so often would put strain on a relationship, but not for this Texas couple. "He is so supportive and just wants me to be happy and succeed," Sunny says. "He's like, 'If you had to go on tour tomorrow for 365 days, I would be right here when you got back.' He's super supportive. It's amazing."
While the gesture is undoubtedly sweet, the two make sure they don't go too long without seeing one another, even if they have to resort to technology. "We have FaceTime on our phones and we have Skype," the newlywed explains. "We talk all the time and text. If I can go home for 12 or 15 hours, I'll go home. When I'm home we jump right back into it: I clean and cook — well, I don't cook good — I do make a bitchin' grilled cheese, though. We were together for a long time before we actually got married, but we don't go longer than 10 or 12 days without seeing each other. Usually less than that."
Even though he's a working man, Jeff finds the time to hit the road with his bride. "When he comes out, he makes me calmer," the 'Drink Myself Single' singer admits. "My band is like, 'We love it when he's out with us because then we don't have to deal with you.' [laughs]"
The songstress is aware that her husband has a dangerous profession, but she doesn't let it worry her. "We just do our own thing and we're super supportive of each other," Sunny says. "I know nothing of his work and he knows nothing about mine. We just support ourselves in our respective jobs and it's cool. He loves his job. I've never met anyone who loves their job more than he loves his. I'm proud of him for doing his job. He's a Sergeant in the Austin Police Department, and the guys who work under him respect him, and I think that's cool. I've seen him in work mode with them and it's completely different than when he's at home."
Sunny is currently working on her next album, and preparing to hit the road on this year's Country Throwdown Tour with Gary Allan, Justin Moore, Eric Paslay and Josh Thompson.
